The recent closing of the Drug Store Pharmacy on Main Street in Jefferson cuts deep into the fabric of our community. An independent drug store has been in this location since 1899, serving as a key part of Jefferson’s history.

Watertown Assembly Representative William Penterman wants to have his cake and eat it too when it comes to protecting Wisconsin residents from the rising cost of, well, just about everything. He claims to “work tirelessly” to make our state government more effective and yet seems to avoid any bill that will create a meaningful difference in his constituents’ lives. We know better.

Making war on another country should be a very serious thing to do. The pros and cons must be gone over by all with power and authority. Alternatives need to be discussed. Letting President Trump make war because former President Biden got to do so is not rational.

During the many years I lived in Germany, I used public transportation like most people, which allowed me to chat with everyday Germans. When older Germans realized I was American, they generally gushed with profuse apologies about the Nazi era. As young people, they did not know what was really going on. They did not know about the camps yet, so if there was a dictum to attend a youth march and rally, “we just went.”
