Historic Eau Claire cemetery entered into state register

EAU CLAIRE — History is everywhere, according to UW-Eau Claire University Archivist Greg Kocken. It’s often just a matter of recognizing it. The State Historic Preservation Review Board has approved Forest Hill Cemetery to enter the State Register of Historic Places, a promising step into the location eventually being seen as an entrant in the national register, administered by the National Park Service (NPS). With Forest Hill Cemetery being a landscape, Kocken says those can be harder to see entered into the National Register of Historic Places compared to pieces of architecture — buildings often carry aesthetic markers of their respective eras, as well as encompassing famous figures or historic events that took place in the past. The university archivist argues that cemeteries as a whole have a place as important cultural landmarks though, and understanding their importance has become a noticeable trend in recent years. “Right now we’re starting to recognize that those cemeteries are important parts of our communities. They’re historic landscapes,” Kocken said. “They’re part of the cultural identity of a community. It’s more than just the memorials that are present there — it’s the cemetery itself as a part of the city, and recognizing that is

Baltderdash to perform in Shell Lake this weekend

SHELL LAKE — Eau Claire saxophonist Sue Orfield returns to the Shell Lake Arts Center with her band Balterdash on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. in the Erika Quam Memorial Theatre. Orfield knew what she wanted to play the moment she heard a tenor saxophone on the radio while riding on a school bus as a child. She picked up the horn in fifth grade, at age 10, and it came naturally. She has played piano even longer, since first grade, and still uses the keyboard to write music and accompany her students. Today, Orfield is a freelance musician who leads and plays in several bands. She has been on the stage wth Bo Diddley, Bobby McFerrin, the Indigo Girls, Ann Wilson (Heart), Dizzy Gillespie, Ivan Neville and Jo Dee Messina. You can find her performing in the Twin Cities a couple of times a month and across Wisconsin. Her ties to Shell Lake run deep: She attended the Arts Center as a high school camper and has taught at its jazz camps several times. Balterdash features Orfield with Dustin DeGolier, who also teaches at the Arts Center’s Rock Band Camp each summer, John Utphall, Randy Sinz and, new

Eau Claire County to vote on budget next Tuesday

EAU CLAIRE — The Eau Claire County Board will vote Tuesday on a proposed $157.3 million 2027 operating budget, which would be a decline from this year’s $165.98 million budget. The property tax levy is $41,728,104, an increase of 1.2% increase from last year. It increased by $483,769. County Administrator Jon Johnson said when focusing on operations, some of the biggest areas are service programs and benefits. “80% of what we do is staffing,” he said. “Some of the things we looked at were compensation analysis and wages, trying to make sure we’re keeping up with the market and inflation. We’ve worked that into the budget that’s important to staff to make sure you know we value our staff and keep the benefits and wages as competitive as possible and the funding environment we’re in.” As costs are going up across the board, Johnson said they have balanced their budget largely through reducing contracted services and staffing. A lot of this work is based on prioritizing core services, which Johnson said they have asked the board to provide guidance on. In the proposed budget, some departments are seeing position changes.
