Main Street Mercantile opens in downtown Rice Lake

Main Street Mercantile officially opened in downtown Rice Lake on Tuesday, Nov. 3, with a Chamber ribbon-cutting. It is located at 10 N. Main St., next to Moon Gate. Owners Pete Brunette and Susan Rich-Brunette had P & J Pawn at 1664 20½ St. (Highway SS) between Rice Lake and Cameron for the past several years. When the building they were leasing was put up for sale, they not only relocated but changed their business name. “I am excited to bring something unique, affordable and fun to our downtown community,” said Rich-Brunette, a lifelong resident of Rice Lake. She explained how their business got its start. “My husband and I purchased an online business in 2018,” she said. “After operating it online for a couple of years, we decided to take our business in a new direction and opened a used merchandise, pawn, coin and purchased-goods store.” Rich-Brunette added, “Our goal is to provide a unique shopping experience that is different from the ordinary. We want our store to be a place where people can come in, browse, find great bargains, sell or pawn items, and simply enjoy themselves. Most importantly, we want to be part of the Rice Lake

Ten of Barron County’s centenarians share longevity tips

Ten of Barron County’s oldest residents shared some of their tips for longevity at the annual Centenarian Celebration put on by the county Aging and Disability Resource Center on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Lehman’s. After a welcome by ADRC Director Jennifer Jako, three other county officials greeted the centenarians and their families. County Board Chairman Louie Okey thanked them for “your wisdom and century’s worth of contributions to our Barron County area.” County Administrator Jeff French shared some of the notable happenings from a century ago, such as the invention of the television, followed soon after by the invention of TV dinners. He said AT&T put through its first transatlantic phone call. Winnie the Poo was first introduced, and Babe Ruth hit three home runs in a World Series game as a New York Yankee. County Supervisor Patti Anderson, who also chairs the Commission on Aging and said she hopes to reach the century mark some day, told them “age is not a number,” and that “health is about balance, not perfection,” and that “staying active is the key.”

Barron County voters chose GOP but Dems won statewide

Barron County bucked the trend at the polls Tuesday. Although the county voted heavily for GOP candidates at the top of the ticket, statewide voters sent Democrat David Crowley to the governor’s office and Attorney General Josh Kaul will be returning to duty. Crowley ran against Republican Tom Tiffany, who declined to seek reelection to the 7th Congressional District to run for governor. Barron County voters gave Tiffany 12,613 votes, including 1,767 votes from Rice Lake. Crowley received 7,550 votes in Barron County, including 1,564 from Rice Lake. The AP called the race for Crowley at 10:28 p.m., but Tiffany had conceded earlier in the evening. With Tiffany running for governor, the 7th Congressional District seat was open to a newcomer, and Trump-backed Republican Michael Alfonso faced off against Democrat Fred Clark. The AP called the race for Alfonso at approximately 10 p.m. He earned 1,717 votes in Rice Lake and a total of 12,246 in Barron County en route to the win. Clark received 1,612 in Rice Lake and a total of 7,885 in Barron County. Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney failed to unseat Attorney General Josh Kaul but carried Barron County.

Washburn school referendum passes by 8 votes

Voters in the School District of Washburn approved a $4.8 million operating referendum by eight votes Nov. 3, according to unofficial results. The measure passed 1,157 to 1,149. Voters in the city of Washburn carried it, while voters in the towns of Barksdale, Bayview, and Washburn all voted against it. “We recognize our responsibility as stewards of taxpayer resources,” Superintendent Denise Michaelsen said in a written statement to the Daily Press. She said the district will share details on how it plans to use the referendum money, along with its budget outlook, at upcoming school board meetings. The results are unofficial until the Bayfield County Board of Canvassers reviews them Nov. 10. The referendum allows the district to exceed its state-imposed revenue limit , with the extra money raised through property taxes. The authority starts at $900,000 this school year and grows each year through 2029-30. After that, it ends. The district estimates the first-year cost at about $123 for every $100,000 of property value. Most of the money will go to keeping existing programs and services, according to the district. The rest will go to building maintenance and rebuilding the district’s reserves, which have fallen below what its own
