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

Rice Lake senior Ebner excels in mountain biking as repeat state champion
When Quinn Ebner joined the Rice Lake mountain biking team in sixth grade, his focus was on the enjoyment he got from riding and not about becoming a competitive racer. He got his first taste of competition a year later and continued to improve on his way to becoming a multi-year state champion. “I went to my first race in seventh grade,” said Ebner. “I kind of just fell in love with it after that.” Late last month Ebner won the boys varsity race at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Cycling League state championships at Trek Trails in Waterloo, his second consecutive varsity championship. “It meant a lot to me,” said Ebner. “I spent a lot of time training. I would say I do around 20 races a year. State is obviously very big and important one for me and there’s a lot of stress going into it. I just wanted to get everything right.” Ebner won the three-lap race with a time of one hour, 16 minutes, and 16.4 seconds, finishing nearly a minute in front of second place. A year ago Ebner was the champion in 1:13:22.7, with a gap of 1:25 over the runner-up. He was also the freshman

Veterans honored during Haugen Elementary School program
The chairs were filled and dozens of people stood along edges of the gymnasium during a Veterans Day program at Haugen Elementary School. Put on by the school and Brunclik-Konop American Legion Post 540 on Wednesday, Nov. 11, it’s the last Veterans Day program with the school district set to close Haugen Elementary at the end of the school year. Following the posting of the colors and the “Pledge of Allegiance,” Commander Ken Nelson provided an invocation and opening remarks. Nelson asked Haugen Elementary students if they knew what a veteran is, the six branches of the military, the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day and why the day is recognized on Nov. 11? “Whether home eating, sleeping, watching television or playing video games, the branches of the military are defending your freedom around the world,” Nelson told the kids. Third- and fourth-grade students presented a skit about Betsy Ross’ creation of the U.S. flag, followed the folding of the flag by veterans Bob Beffa and Mark Larson as Nelson spoke about the meaning of each fold. All the students together held U.S. flags and sang “The Brave” thanking veterans for their service, sacrifice and bravery. Nelson then answered
