From Our ReadersIssue Date: January 17, 2020 Letter to the Editor:
The Dec. 23 Menominee Board of Commissioners Meeting at Stephenson Annex included a presentation by Aquila Resources about their letter of transparency to the public on a drilling exercise. Was the public also aware that Aquila had constructed a makeshift processing plant on the mine site, to process core samples? Well, they did. Pictures and information were given to EGLE Council, and they in turn had Aquila dismantle and remove it. The big question is: What did they DO with the open tank full of mine drainage, th...

Weather hasn't been too bad for January, but floods are threatening much of the shoreline area. There were treacherous roads late on Thursday, Jan. 9 and into the morning of Friday, Jan. 10, and luckily the last threatened blizzard turned out to be a very slight snowfall. Outlook for the coming week seems to be for moderate temperatures and no significant snowfall.
However, one forecast calls for significant snow on Friday followed by bitter cold. We'll have to wait and see who's right.

We've enjoyed some really, really beautiful snows already this season, and probably there will be more. The January thaw we had in December seems to have gone away, and some really bitter winds are blowing this week. High humidity makes the cold winds feel even colder.
Now that Dec. 22, the shortest day of the year, has come and gone, we're gaining a few more minutes of daylight each day. Before you k...

From My WindowIssue Date: January 9, 2020Jane Thibodeau Martin Green Bay: Beloved Friend and Foe
What one Michigan Department of Natural Resources spokesperson called a "slow-moving emergency" has become inescapably visible in many of my beloved places. The lovely shore of Green Bay along scenic M-35 in Michigan and next to Highway Y between Peshtigo and Oconto is under assault. Favorite parks and wild areas like Red Arrow Beach; the iconic Menominee lighthouse drive; and Peshtigo Harbor are inaccessible and/or eroding. I have never seen water higher in the beautiful Menominee Marina. Even the ...
