Elk Mound resident sues village board

ELK MOUND — Elk Mound resident John Fellenz, who resigned as a volunteer on the Elk Mound Police Department last month, has now filed a lawsuit against the Village Board. The lawsuit was filed in Dunn County Court on Nov. 6. The defendants are the Village Board members, including Village President Tim Benjamin. The case has not yet been assigned to a judge, and no court dates have been set. On Oct. 6, the board voted 6-1 to disband the police department, and instead enter into an agreement with Dunn County to provide law enforcement services, with aid from a four-year grant. Dozens of village residents attended that meeting and objected to the plan. Fellenz contends the board was not following protocol on open meetings leading to that vote. It is unclear when the village began discussing with Dunn County about contracting for law enforcement services. Fellenz claims that through an open records request, he obtained 79 emails from Dunn County that were exchanged with Elk Mound officials that he hadn’t previously seen. He said it showed the discussion began in May. “It is very clear they weren’t evaluating options; the decision was made,” Fellenz said. “The story put out

Bloomer’s Hartman triplets commit to South Dakota State

BLOOMER — The Bloomer High School girls cross country and track and field teams have had the blessing of having Aliya, Briella and Ciara Hartman on their teams over the years. That blessing will come to a close following next spring as the senior triplets graduate, but will continue at the Division I collegiate level next fall, as the Hartman triplets announced via social media of their commitment to South Dakota State University for both cross country and track and field. The Hartmans wrapped up their stellar cross country career this fall, claiming the Blackhawks’ fourth consecutive sectional and conference titles. Aliya Hartman further put a bow on the Blackhawks cross country season, setting a new state meet record at the Division 1 meet in Wisconsin Rapids and becoming Bloomer’s first individual girls state champion in cross country. She won with a blazing time of 17 minutes and 1.6 seconds, besting the previous record by nearly 25 seconds, as the Blackhawks finished fourth in a highly-competitive Division 1 field. It continued a standout year for Aliya Hartman, who won the 3,200 meter state track title last spring. The Hartmans, along with senior running mate Sophie Strand, all played huge roles

Spooner School Board adopts 2026-27 budget

SPOONER — The Spooner School Board adopted the 2026-27 tax levy at their annual meeting Monday, Oct. 26. Finance Director Trish Vasquez and Supt. Dr. Marggie Banker gave the budget presentation. The district total levy for 2026-27 is $19,820,673. Vasquez said they are looking at a deficit of $1.4 million for the fiscal year, which is “less than we had anticipated.” Banker said what influences the budget primarily is aid, federal funds and other resources such as grants. The district hasn’t had to do short-term borrowing. The enrollment trend continues to decline across the state. Banker said this year, they have just over 1,100 students enrolled. “We’ve been working to address (these challenges),” she said. Fewer students open enrolled out this year than the past, she added. Vasquez said that in the Heart O’ North Conference, Spooner Area School District’s mill rate is significantly below Barron and above St. Croix Falls, close to the state average, at $6.17. “That’s a point of pride,” she said. Not every school district’s levies are finalized yet. General aid is down 15% and “we do plan for it,” Vasquez said. Per-pupil aid is at $745 per student. Board member John Hedlund thanked the team

Winter Artisan Market blends shopping, history

SPOONER — It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust as you step from the bright November morning into the darkness of Spooner’s new Winter Artisan Market in the old railroad yards. You might even hear shoppers commenting on the location before you can focus. “Look at those incredible old timbers,” said one. “My grandfather and father worked in this building,” adds another. “What a great old building; so much history,” says yet another. It is the history of Spooner’s railroad past. The Winter Artisan Market is set in the old Spooner Roundhouse. One can only imagine how much town history took place there and who might have walked through the building, which is the scene of ongoing renovation. With a little imagination, you can almost hear the voices of the old-time railroaders as they call out schedules, the chugging trains as they move on the tracks, the historic train whistles and bells. You can smell the wood, the steam and even coal as it powers the engines. Are you surrounded by ghosts from 1885, 1926 or just Winter Artisan Market shoppers from 2026? In the darkness, for just a split second, it is hard to tell. Then you

More than Internet: Creating opportunity across Spooner's rural roads

EVERGREEN TOWNSHIP — A few miles outside of Spooner, at the Evergreen Town Hall, there is a place where residents can access technology to keep them informed about happenings in the community, create new opportunities or simply complete a form. No account, no subscription and no payment are needed. But it’s more than a computer lab. It’s a visible reminder of what can happen when communities, local leaders and technology providers work together to expand access and opportunity. What many homes and businesses need is access to the same level of high-speed internet found in larger metropolitan areas. Today, through projects like the USDA Community Connect initiative, Mosaic Technologies is helping close that gap for families, students and businesses throughout the Spooner area. For students, that means having dependable access to online learning resources, research tools and educational opportunities, regardless of where they live. A student on a rural road outside Spooner should have the same ability to complete assignments, participate in virtual learning and prepare for the future as students anywhere else in Wisconsin. For businesses, fiber Internet creates opportunities for growth. Local retailers, manufacturers, professional offices and entrepreneurs increasingly depend on cloud-based systems, video communications and online platforms

Swim and dive: Rice Lake’s Becker 7th, Kopp 8th at state meet

WAUKESHA — Bristene Becker placed seventh in diving and Alana Kopp took eighth for the 50-yard freestyle in leading the Rice Lake Warriors girls swim and dive team at Friday’s Division 2 state championships at Waukesha South High School Natatorium. “They put the whole year together and came down and performed,” said coach Bob Burdorf. “Bristene, one or two dives made the difference between getting on the podium and not getting on the podium. She dove really well all year long.” “In the 50 and 100 freestyle, it’s who gets off the blocks first and who does their foot turns good. [Alana] did it all today.” Becker just missed out on the state podium by less than four points in the sophomore’s first trip to the state meet. The Warriors also had Sarah Herpin score a personal best to finish 12th in diving and Amara King was 19th for the event. This was the first season that Becker competed in diving. She set the school record (406.65) and won a sectional championship this year. At state she was in eighth through the preliminary round and had climbed up to sixth after her ninth dive.
