Hayward Chamber presents annual business, service awards

The Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce held their 26th annual membership awards banquet Thursday Nov. 5 at The Steakhouse & Lodge. The Chamber recognized the outstanding businesses, individuals, and organizations whose dedication, leadership and contributions help make the Hayward area a special place to live, work and play. In a speech titled “Keep the Standard High, Hayward,” Chamber Executive Director Chris Ruckdaschel said that “What makes a community special isn’t simply what it has. It’s what its people choose to do with what they have.” Ruckdaschel said that prior to moving here from Indianapolis 11 years ago, “Like so many others, we already loved this area as a vacation destination. We knew about the lakes, the forests, the trails, and the natural beauty. “But what we didn’t fully appreciate at the time was something that I would argue is even more special,” he said: —“The people who make this community what it is. —“The business owners who take risks to pursue their dreams. —“The employees who take pride in their work. —“The volunteers who show up, year after year, without expecting recognition. —“And the organizations and individuals who quietly make a difference in the lives of others. “Sometimes we’re so

Property Committee dims on campus solar array proposal

The Barron County Property Committee, at its Monday, Nov. 9, meeting, indefinitely tabled pursuing a solar array project at UW-Eau Claire — Barron County, opting to keep the green space as is rather than filling it with solar panels to potentially raise funds for the university and county. The committee members had a copy of a Solar Feasibility Study that was prepared by Upper 90, a Centrix Company. According to the study’s executive summary, the county and campus engaged in the firm to evaluate the feasibility of a ground-mounted solar array on undeveloped county-owned land at the campus at 1800 College Drive, Rice Lake. The study was funded by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. It presented two options, both of which would generate more electricity than the entire campus currently uses in a year. The second option would generate roughly three times campus usage. The study said the array site — east of the main campus — appears workable as it sits away from the Red Cedar River mitigating DNR shoreline/floodplain concerns. It stated that the main obstacles would include relocating a portion of the adjacent disc golf course and installing a security fencing

Residents raise concerns of raised farmer’s market contract fees

EAU CLAIRE — Residents filled the Eau Claire City Council chambers this week, raising concerns regarding potential raised fees in a contract with the Eau Claire Downtown Farmer’s Market. On social media, concerns first arose, noting a potential price spike which would increase the cost of their contract by 200%, more than tripling the price. During public comment on Monday night, Eau Claire Downtown Farmer’s Market Board Member and vendor representative True Vue said, “I want to begin by saying that our intention tonight is not to create any conflict with the city. We value our relationship with the city of Eau Claire and we love the place where our farmer’s market is right now. We are here because we care about this community and we want to find a solution that allows the farmer’s market and the city to continue working together. “Our concern is the proposed increase in the pavilion reservation fees. It was given to us, we did send back a different proposal, it came back to us denied, and we don’t agree with what’s been given to us. And hence why we are bringing it forward to the city council to be aware of.” In addition
