    Okay, it wasn’t a huge surprise. There has been chatter for some years. But this week, the publisher of the La Crosse Tribune announced the newspaper will print only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

    With Hulu series, furor over ‘The 1619 Project’ continues

    February 9th, 2023
    by

    Now I better understand one of the subjects the cable news talking heads have been discussing ardently the past several years. Considering the furor, you would have thought it was a pornography or sex education or, heaven forbid, evolution. But, no, it is “The 1619 Project,” now banned in Florida schools.

    Antisemitism is alive and well

    to be flipping through the channels Sunday, looking for something to amuse me on another of our endless dreary January days, when I stumbled across Ken Burns’ documentary “The US and the Holocaust.” I had viewed the full six hours when it was first released on PBS, but in my dotage, I had forgotten enough of it that once started, I could not look away.

    Remembering Hardware Hank’s Julie Schreier

    November 17th, 2022
    by

    I recently was browsing through my very tattered and worn copy of “The Wiltonians.” Local history books will never be on the New York Times bestseller list, but they do become a constant reminder of where we have been, and in some cases, where we are headed.
