Concerns about Indian Mounds
To the Editor: Indian Mounds is sacred, that it is. It is a beautiful, flat, sandy and shallow natural beach since the beginning of time, as noted by the Effigy Mound culture left behind by the Palio Indians 650-1200CE.
Wouldn’t it be nice?
To the Editor: Well, it’s election season once again. It is our opportunity to interview and hire candidates who are willing and able to think creatively and solve problems. Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of being flooded with expensive TV and/or radio ads that make sweeping goal statements or …
Lakeland Times: Our View
Oh, the irony! Republicans have spent years warning that Democrats want nothing less than complete control of the economy. Workers of the World Unite! Cover the Earth! Seize the Means of Production! You get the picture.
Climate crisis
Just two years ago, the United Nations secretary general announced, “Global warming has ended ... The era of global boiling has arrived!” “(We were) warned about this,” said a “Daily Show” host, “by every scientist for the last 50 years!”
Dr. Fauci’s good lawyers
111 times. That’s how many times Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid falling into the perjury trap Sen. Rand Paul was setting for him. Dr. Fauci was not brought in to testify because they needed to know more about what he had said and done in the …

Gavin’s old girlfriend
Gavin Newsom is a case study of why not to run for president. For starters, his wife is the target of a Justice Department investigation, which he claims, with reason, is entirely political. And now his personal life is coming under the microscope.

They sure do love to talk a big game. That would be the Botch Brothers, Oneida County zoning director Karl Jennrich and county board and zoning committee chairman Scott Holewinski, just in case you haven’t seen them give one of their performances. Jennrich is known for writing tough-talking letters to …
Concerns over Tiffany and Oneida County sulfide mining
To the Editor: Tom Tiffany is running ads for his bid to become the next Governor of Wisconsin. His line is that he’s the only candidate “Protecting Wisconsin Values.” However, he is blatantly ignoring a loud and clear message from voters of Oneida County on Sulfide Mining. We don’t value …
Dairy industry and what drives it
To the Editor: In the 1980’s it was Wisconsin’s identity as America’s Dairyland that prompted Chicago Bears fans to poke fun at Packer fans by calling them cheeseheads. Now many of us consider that label a badge of honor.

The case for capitalism
I’ve failed! I make the case for free markets ... young people elect socialists! What are they thinking? Do they even think? Do they pay any attention to history? Or economics? Socialism always fails. Only markets create environments that let people prosper.
Ending the backlash
“Ending the Backlash on LGBTQI+ Issues” is the title of the report out this week from the respected liberal think tank The Center for American Progress. As you might expect, the Center report urges Democrats to stand firm in supporting transgender soldiers and gender-transition care. But when it comes to …
The Right cannot defeat the Left by abandoning its own principles
The ideological excesses of the American Left are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Political commentator Hasan Piker recently appeared in a Mao jacket — a conspicuous tribute to the Chinese dictator whose regime was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people — before addressing college students.
‘Dear Tom Tiffany’s Mom’
To the Editor: I think it is a great idea you keeping an eye on Tom’s campaign promises. However, you seem to have missed his last two term promises to do something about the wolf plague in northern Wisconsin. Other states, like Washington, Utah, and Wyoming were able to delist …
