Re: Jail Issues Revisited
It was only 10 years ago when the Marinette County Board tried to solve the jail overcrowding problem by building a new jail. We now know that the jail problems still persist and overcrowding is again being discussed.
A little history that explains why these goals were not reached, and what the Board can learn from this experience, will be summarized below. The bottom line is that the Board disregarded input from their own consultants as well as from the grass roots concerned Citi...

Tales from the old-timer PHS Class of 1974
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
daughter of the Old-Timer
**********
I was excited when I returned home late Friday night from a trip to find an invitation I’d been waiting for - my high school class reunion.

Tales from the old-timer The House Call
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
daughter of the Old-Timer
**********
This week I will relate a memory of an event the likes of which I’ll probably never see again, which occurred around 1964.
My younger sister, Laura, became very ill with Whooping Cough. My parents had a pull-out couch in the living room, and that became her sick bed. I was too young to really grasp the situation completely but I knew my parents were very worried about Laura, and I’d awake at night to hear her cou...
