Red Cross Experiencing Worst Blood Shortage in Over a Decade

The nation’s blood supply remains at one of its lowest levels in recent years. In recent weeks, blood centers across the country have reported less than a one-day’s supply of blood of certain critical blood types—a dangerously low level. If the nation’s blood supply does not stabilize soon, life-saving blood may not be available for some patients when it is needed.

Thomson Replies to Thoemke

Dear Editor,
Thank you Greg, for your response.
Quoting you: “Build a library? Of course, but just don’t look for ways to do so entirely on the backs of businesses and residents of the Village of New Glarus.” It’s not “entirely on the backs...” as you well know. With the encouragement of the Boards of Library and Village, citizens have donated $1,100,000 and most of that has been there for a decade or more. Donors like to see their funds used for the purpose intended. There is an imperative to use the money the citizens have put in the till.

Blank Encourages You to Research Candidates

Dear Editor,
What is happening in our newly created Green Co Board district 25?
We actually have a carpetbagger who landed here after stints in Florida and Texas trying to represent our district. He has been stopped and convicted three times for speeding, and once for driving after suspension of his license. Clearly NOT a law-abiding citizen.
And, equally important, his social media rants are racist, anti-immigrant and especially anti-Muslim.
