Seniors left legacy on Chippewa County state volleyball teams

GREEN BAY — To reach the state volleyball tournament, you need to have leadership. Luckily for Chippewa Falls McDonell, Stanley-Boyd and Chippewa Falls, all three teams were blessed with a strong senior collective this fall, leading to each making the trip to Green Bay last week. The Macks claimed the Division 4 state championship on Saturday at the Resch Center, largely in part to their four members of the 2027 graduating class. “Seniors left their mark, right?” McDonell coach Kat Hanson said. “More so than just a state championship, they left a mark on this team, and it was a joy to be able to be on the journey with them and watch them grow into leaders in their own way. Because of that and their ability to interact with their teammates, that’s why they’re standing here today, and we’re going to miss them.” McDonell dispatched everyone in its postseason path with seniors Anne and Erin Siegenthaler, Rylie Christianson and Kherington Mosack leading the charge. “I think our senior group is such a close-knit group,” Christianson said. “We are a very solid core, and I think of us as the big sisters in the group.” In the Macks’ dominant, championship-winning

Polnaszek submitted a letter to the city, outlining plans for a series of movies. “I want to make a Christmas movie in Chippewa Falls and more than that ... with Chippewa Falls as a main character,” Polnaszek wrote. “The script is written, the locations have been offered and I am still raising the money for principal photography (set for this winter.) As I have been presenting to folks and raising money, one question is: ‘Can this be the Chippewa Valley?’ With that question I am encouraged to (have) to the surrounding community for support. While I appreciate the Chippewa Valley, I LOVE Chippewa Falls and want to keep this a hometown project.” The website is chippewafallsmovie.com. The summary of the script

Historic Stanley library sees restoration and expansion completed

STANLEY — Constructed in the same year Theodore Roosevelt became president, the shelves of D.R. Moon Memorial Library are lined with 125 years’ worth of stories. Working its way through a fire in 1906 that caused significant damage to the building and the COVID pandemic of 2020 alike, its more than a century of history has now culminated in new additions and modern updates, with the library showing them to the Stanley community through a grand opening Saturday. D.R. Moon Memorial Library Director Elizabeth Miniatt has been in her role since 2019, and the new changes to the space have represented an approximately $5 million project for the town as a whole. For the nationally recognized establishment, the director wanted to see some worthwhile changes in the community’s longtime education resource fully realized. “There was not enough space for our community,” Miniatt said. “It was built for 1901, a state-of-the-art library [for] 1901, but Stanley, obviously, has expanded since then, and things are different. What was the same is that the community needed space, and there weren’t these spaces.” D.R. Moon Memorial Library has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985, which meant preserving the location while
