Editor:

I would like to express a heartfelt "Thank You" to our wonderful community. Because of the support of local businesses, friends, alumni, school students, families and our parishes, St. Thomas Aquinas Academy's 36th Annual Auction was a wonderful success!

This is the Academy's largest fundraiser each year and we are fortunate to be in such a generous community. Monies raised at this event help to provide support for our Tuition Assistance program, improve our classrooms, expand technology, including Chromebooks for our blended learning program, and provide for immediate needs at the Academy.

We had wonderful donations from area merchants and private individuals. A variety of experiences and merchandise made certain that there was a wide appeal. The food was prepared and served by our terrific volunteers and the best bakers in our community contributed to the Pie Booth.

We would like to extend a special thank you to our corporate sponsors, Marinette Marine Corporation, The Motor Company, Kohl's Cares, the Marinette Knights of Columbus, Catholic Financial Life, and Thrivent Financial. The Academy has also been blessed with a matching funds pledge from the Estelle Corry Trust. We are very grateful to Mr. Henry Yoap, of Yoap and Yoap Auctions for sharing his talents as our auctioneer again this year and to all the volunteers who helped before, during and after the event.

So "Thank You!" to everyone who worked so hard, bid so high, made donations and came out in support of St. Thomas Aquinas Academy as we happily celebrate over 142 years of Catholic education in Northeast Wisconsin!

Kathy Denby,

Development Coordinator,

St.Thomas Aquinas Academy

Dear Editor:

It is important that I respond to Ms. Natalie Lashmet's letter dated March 7, 2018, because she misrepresented what was in her letter sent to Aquila Resources "requesting Aquila meet us"�" What Ms. Lashmet didn't mention was that her request for dialog was in the form of a large meeting in a local auditorium, essentially a public hearing. The alternative that was presented was a panel discussion which would be recorded and live streamed. Neither of these methods is conducive to a productive dialog.

Furthermore, only after agreeing to Ms. Lashmet's demands would she provide us with the location, time, and topics for the meeting. As for a response, we were provided a P.O. Box address in Wisconsin. The offer didn't appear authentic or beneficial.

We understand not everyone supports mining. However, we are interested in having conversations where factual information is shared, rather than scare tactics used by some who just want to stop mining. Regardless of what stance you take, finding a civil way to communicate is important.

If you have questions about our project, we'd love to hear from you. We can be reached at (906) 753-9602, info@backfortymine.com, facebook.com/backfortymine, or at E807 Gerue Street in Stephenson, Mich.

Chantae Lessard,

Director Social Performance and Engament

"Happy Easter"

This Sunday is "Easter",

What a glorious thrill.

The Resurrection of Our Savior

Who died on Calvary's Hill.

He's no longer dead,

He's the Savior of Men.

Because He arose,

We too shall rise again.

So if you want this Savior

And Eternal Life Today,

Just open up your hearts door,

He's the Life, the Truth, the Way.

Joyce Bedora,

formerly of Peshtigo
