Village Café brings community and comfort food to Coleman

COLEMAN – New to the Coleman community, Village Café officially opened its doors to the public on Oct. 10, but has quickly become a staple throughout the area. Owners Lori and Dennis Gross originally bought the former Dog N Suds property with the intention of fixing up and selling it as a restaurant, however the renovation process was enough to convince Lori that plans needed to change.

Deer hunting means big bucks for sporting goods business

For Tom Schaal, this is the calm before the storm. It was relatively quiet in his store — Northwoods Sporting Goods — on a Thursday afternoon in late September, but that won’t be the case in late November before and during Wisconsin’s gun deer season, which kicks off Nov. 21 and runs through Nov. 29.

Mursaus bring hometown grocery model to Peshtigo

PESHTIGO — A new Piggly Wiggly in Peshtigo is bringing fresh food, new jobs and a familiar small-town approach to the former Lofaro’s Fresh Market space. For owners Chad and Tiffany Mursau, the expansion builds on nearly five years of operating their Coleman store. They saw promise in Peshtigo and an opportunity to serve a community that was losing its previous grocery operator. “We just saw potential here with all the support,” Chad Mursau said. The couple’s approach he added is to be community driven. The opening comes after a change in the store’s supply arrangements. Mursau said C&S had bought SpartanNash, which supplied Lofaro’s and the previous owner was no longer interested in operating in Peshtigo. The Mursaus saw a chance to take over the location and bring their grocery business to town. They want the store to feel welcoming as well as useful. Asked how he would describe their hometown grocery model, Chad Mursau emphasized “just friendly service,” while Tiffany Mursau echoed the importance of being community driven. Renovations have given the store what Mursau called “a fresh, clean look,” along with a new salad bar and wing bar. The store also offers produce, bakery, deli, meat, dairy,

Highwire Farms owner won't sign a do-not sue provision

MENOMINEE — The result of last week’s ballot initiative in Menominee means nothing to Highwire Farms cannabis company principal owner Eric Kennedy. “Nothing has changed, it’s still capped and the lawsuit continues,” he told the EagleHerald. “They could go unlimited. It changes nothing.” Highwire Farms, 1015 10th St., was part of a settlement agreement in 2023 that promised retail licenses to six marijuana businesses. In exchange, those businesses agreed to indemnify or pay the city’s legal bills for future lawsuits and agreed not to appeal. Highwire Farms didn’t open at that time because it was mired in a legal situation over its location. It eventually settled at the intersection of 10th Avenue and 10th Street (most recently A&B Auto and before that a bank). A build-out ensued, but the business couldn’t get the green light from the city. When Menominee County Circuit Judge Mary B. Barglind lifted an injunction this past July that opened the door for a ninth license — one that Kennedy felt he was owed. He wasn’t alone. Puff Cannabis (located at the former Family Video location on 10th St.) and Urb (located just north of City Hall on 10th Street) also feel they deserve licenses. Puff

Staffing shortfall puts court collections work under scrutiny

MARINETTE — A staffing shortage in the Marinette County Clerk of Circuit Court’s office is delaying new submissions to Wisconsin’s state debt collection program, prompting committee members to question the financial impact and discuss ways to help. At the public safety committee’s Tuesday meeting, Clerk Carrie Brazeau described an office struggling to retain employees while managing a growing workload. Brazeau said the last state debt collection submission was completed in late January, covering December’s work. “I do not have the staff to keep up with the work,” Brazeau told the committee. The program collects qualifying debts owed to the county, with the state taking a commission from the amounts it recovers. Supervisor Peter Noppenberg said the county figures showed $945,071 collected through the program in 2025. He estimated that delays in sending new files could mean “approximately $79,000 in income every month is not being pursued.” Brazeau cautioned that the figures for submissions and collections were different. Money collected in a given month may come from cases submitted years earlier, she said and sending a file does not mean the county will receive payment immediately. “There is a difference between how much you submit and how much you actually receive,”

Green Bay Notre Dame, Kingston Allen march to playoff win over Pulaski

In a season where Green Bay Notre Dame star running back Kingston Allen makes history on a weekly basis, his team is on the verge of making a little, too. Notre Dame beat Pulaski 35-7 in a WIAA Division 2 quarterfinal at Stock Family Stadium on Nov. 6, just one win away from reaching a state title game for the third straight year. The Tritons – along with Bay Port in D1 – have an opportunity to become the second local team to make three straight championship games since the WIAA started sponsoring a tournament in 1976. West De Pere made the D3 title game in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Notre Dame will play Union Grove in a semifinal. The Tritons ended the regular season ranked No. 1 in the state in D2 by the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association, while the Broncos were No. 2. Both teams enter 12-0. Notre Dame will attack Union Grove much like it did every opponent this season: It will give the ball to the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Allen and have him work his magic behind an offensive line that can be just as dominant as him. Allen rushed for 284 yards on 37 carries and
