More than Internet: Creating opportunity across Spooner's rural roads

EVERGREEN TOWNSHIP — A few miles outside of Spooner, at the Evergreen Town Hall, there is a place where residents can access technology to keep them informed about happenings in the community, create new opportunities or simply complete a form. No account, no subscription and no payment are needed. But it’s more than a computer lab. It’s a visible reminder of what can happen when communities, local leaders and technology providers work together to expand access and opportunity. What many homes and businesses need is access to the same level of high-speed internet found in larger metropolitan areas. Today, through projects like the USDA Community Connect initiative, Mosaic Technologies is helping close that gap for families, students and businesses throughout the Spooner area. For students, that means having dependable access to online learning resources, research tools and educational opportunities, regardless of where they live. A student on a rural road outside Spooner should have the same ability to complete assignments, participate in virtual learning and prepare for the future as students anywhere else in Wisconsin. For businesses, fiber Internet creates opportunities for growth. Local retailers, manufacturers, professional offices and entrepreneurs increasingly depend on cloud-based systems, video communications and online platforms

Winter Artisan Market blends shopping, history

SPOONER — It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust as you step from the bright November morning into the darkness of Spooner’s new Winter Artisan Market in the old railroad yards. You might even hear shoppers commenting on the location before you can focus. “Look at those incredible old timbers,” said one. “My grandfather and father worked in this building,” adds another. “What a great old building; so much history,” says yet another. It is the history of Spooner’s railroad past. The Winter Artisan Market is set in the old Spooner Roundhouse. One can only imagine how much town history took place there and who might have walked through the building, which is the scene of ongoing renovation. With a little imagination, you can almost hear the voices of the old-time railroaders as they call out schedules, the chugging trains as they move on the tracks, the historic train whistles and bells. You can smell the wood, the steam and even coal as it powers the engines. Are you surrounded by ghosts from 1885, 1926 or just Winter Artisan Market shoppers from 2026? In the darkness, for just a split second, it is hard to tell. Then you

Swim and dive: Rice Lake’s Becker 7th, Kopp 8th at state meet

WAUKESHA — Bristene Becker placed seventh in diving and Alana Kopp took eighth for the 50-yard freestyle in leading the Rice Lake Warriors girls swim and dive team at Friday’s Division 2 state championships at Waukesha South High School Natatorium. “They put the whole year together and came down and performed,” said coach Bob Burdorf. “Bristene, one or two dives made the difference between getting on the podium and not getting on the podium. She dove really well all year long.” “In the 50 and 100 freestyle, it’s who gets off the blocks first and who does their foot turns good. [Alana] did it all today.” Becker just missed out on the state podium by less than four points in the sophomore’s first trip to the state meet. The Warriors also had Sarah Herpin score a personal best to finish 12th in diving and Amara King was 19th for the event. This was the first season that Becker competed in diving. She set the school record (406.65) and won a sectional championship this year. At state she was in eighth through the preliminary round and had climbed up to sixth after her ninth dive.
