Appleton native Hmong artist Ger Xiong debuted his newest collection, “Hol. d On Tight,” on Thursday, Oct. 22, in UW-Oshkosh’s Allen Priebe Gallery. “Throughout my work, I’m interested in the commercialization and commodification of Hmong craft, and our own relationship to identity,” Xiong said. “My work looks at the navigation and negotiation of cultural identity through the lens of colonization, assimilation, displacement and loss, and how one can reclaim their Hmong identity within a dominant space.”

Luke Peterson ends Green Bay Southwest drought at WIAA state cross-country
WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Luke Peterson didn’t run the best cross-country race of his career, and the Green Bay Southwest senior certainly wasn’t close to shocking the world and winning the WIAA Division 1 state championship on Oct. 31 at Ridges Golf Course. It didn’t matter that he finished 133rd with a time of 17 minutes, 29.5 seconds, or that he took an elbow near his left rib that made breathing a bigger chore than the challenging course for the last half of the race. No, that Peterson was competing at all was the story. It hasn’t happened much at Southwest in recent years. When he qualified for the big stage at sectionals, he became the first Trojans runner to make state cross-country since Alec Basten and Adam Meyer in 2015. That was the year Basten finished runner-up in D1 in his only season as a runner. It has been a long time coming for this moment. Peterson not only earned an opportunity to compete at state in his final chance, but he got quite the send-off from his classmates after they lined up in the hallway at school to cheer for him at the end of the school day on
