Weekly News Blast: It looks like spring may be going to spring soon! Either way you’ll need to remember to “spring ahead” one hour on your clocks early this Sunday. Perhaps this is a good time to acknowledge our snowplow operators this winter: Jerry Reinwand, Jim Yetter, Brian Kuhlmann, and Leo Krueger. They did a nice job of keeping our roads clear of ice and snow as best they could. Wood County Highway Department assisted on Lake Road from 100th to CTH U (per request of Safeway bus company transporting our children). That 2-mile stretch gets remarkably icy each year and is traversed upwards of 12 times per day by the bus company! You’ve probably all noticed quite a bit of brushing and clearing along our road rights of way this winter. That work is being done by Dominic DeVito, Brian Kuhlmann, Leo Krueger, and Garry Saeger. They need a shout-out also! Our monthly Town Board meeting will be held on Wednesday March 11 beginning at 6:00 pm. You are all welcome to attend. Sharon

Besides the wonky cold weather around the country, there’s also been a great deal of political turmoil and unrest. Regardless of which party you prefer we all have a right to protest. But what does that really mean? From the U.S. Constitution On-Line here are some relevant definitions…

In the United States the right to protest is protected by the First Amendment, which guarantees the freedom to assemble peacefully and petition the government. The key points include:

  • Freedom of Assembly: The First Amendment allows individuals to gather peacefully to express their views and demand change
  • Legal Limits: While the right to protest is protected, the government can impose time, place, and manner restrictions to ensure public safety and order
  • Symbolic Acts: The Supreme Court has recognized that symbolic acts, such as wearing armbands or participating in marches, are protected forms of expression.
  • Civil Disobedience: While lawful protests adhere to existing laws, civil disobedience involves breaking specific laws as a form of protest, which carries different legal implications.

Understanding these rights and the legal framework surrounding protests is essential for participating in demonstrations safely and effectively.

Hopefully, you will have both a warm and peaceful weekend.
We all need to take care of each other,
Sharon
