Spicer Will Bring Fresh Vision for Southwest Wisconsin

Dear Editor,
What a beautiful time of year! It’s life affirming to see our children and families dress up and trick-or-treat on Halloween!
It’s also a time to affirm our Democracy. Just as we teach our children and grandchildren Halloween traditions, we also teach them the importance of voting and participating in our American Democracy.

Write In Amy Jo Walter for Green County Coroner

Dear Editor,
In my 47 years working in Green County law enforcement (43 as a Detective), I worked closely with the Coroner’s Office. I have attended numerous autopsies and have been involved with many death investigations.
Most of us will be fortunate enough to have little contact with the Coroner’s Office.
The Coroner is an important and powerful position. One of the Coroner’s concerns is establishing manner and cause of death, in all unknown cause of deaths. This includes determining the difference between an accident and a suicide.
