West Side School Lives On

One of the best views in Sturgeon Bay once belonged to the city’s youngest residents. Originally opened in 1921 as the Sawyer Elementary School, the brick building that sits stoically atop the hill along South Madison Avenue was one of the first public schools on Sturgeon Bay’s west side. Later, it was known as West Side Elementary School, a place where thousands of children started their educational journeys.

The Deadliest Wildfire in American History

On October 8, 1871, a devastating wildfire swept through northeastern Wisconsin—so devastating, in fact, that the disaster remains the deadliest wildfire in American history. It would later be known as the Peshtigo Fire, with a death toll ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 fatalities. Even with these jarring numbers, the tragedy is largely overshadowed by another event that occurred on the very same night : the Great Chicago Fire. The destruction unfolding around Peshtigo, however, was considerably deadlier. Within hours, homes, businesses, and vast stretches of forest had been consumed, leaving survivors struggling to comprehend what had happened. More than 150 years later, the catastrophe remains a disturbing example of how dangerous wildfires can truly get. A Disaster Years in the Making But how did such a deadly fire even erupt in Peshtigo? The story actually starts way back: long before the fire, Peshtigo had developed into a prosperous lumber town. Sawmills, woodworking factories, and railroad operations supported the local economy. However, it's not difficult to see that these industries also created dangerous conditions —case in point, that it would eventually lead to the most horrific fire in American history. It, of course, didn't help either that northeastern Wisconsin was experiencing

Door County Board raises tax levy, drops tax rate in 2027 budget

The Door County Board unanimously passed the county's proposed 2027 budget with no changes to its final draft or comments from the public during its Nov. 10 meeting. As a result, the tax levy will rise a little but the tax rate will drop by a notable figure, both for a fifth straight year. What that means to your property tax bill from the county (not including the tax rate for your city, village, town or school district) depends on the property's assessed value and how much it changed, if at all, in the past year. The county plans to spend about $152.8 million in 2027, about a 20% increase from the $127.3 million in expenditures in the 2026 budget. Almost all of that increase is found in capital improvement projects, where the budget is rising from $22.9 million to $48 million. Of the $152.8 million in expenditures, $33.29 million will come from the tax levy (the amount generated by the county property tax), the maximum allowed by state-set limits and 1.16% more than the $32.9 million levy in 2026. However, the tax rate for 2027 will drop by 6.98%, from $2.21 to $2.06 per $1,000 of assessed equalized property
