As I looked out my kitchen window the other morning, I noticed that the snow was beginning to melt. I could see a little more of the White River, which runs past my home up in Delta. It finally felt like we’d turned the corner on winter. I’m sure we’ll have more snow, but Spring is coming, and for most of us, it can’t come fast enough. Read more
Those of you who remember me from the 12 years that I represented this area in the Wisconsin Assembly may also remember that I write to the Daily Press every spring election to encourage people to vote, and sometimes to endorse particular candidates. I do so again today.

Due to the unwarranted shut down of the Hurley K-12 on Feb. 21,I indirectly accept the responsibility for this action. It was my words that were overhead by an eavesdropper who took those words out of context and reported what they thought sounded like a threat toward the school.
Spring is here in Beijing. Bitter gusts are getting warmer, and short days are getting longer. Thick winter coats are moving to the back of closets, and wide-open windows let in fresh bursts of air. There’s much to enjoy about these clear, sunny days. But nothing really compares to the erup…
What’s a muskellunge? Why: a musky, of course. You are from here; you know that. I didn’t. I’ve only heard the term “musky.” A musky is a fish. A big fish; a pike to be exact. And apparently a nickname. I was educated to that fact recently at the Moccasin Bar in Hayward. We were there during…

The day after the Super Bowl — particularly one as dreadfully tedious as this year’s — talk generally swirls around the ads posted during the game.
There’s anticipation in the air in Beijing. With less than a week to go, excitement is mounting and the streets are quieting. People across the city are packing their bags and heading to the train, a kid in one arm and a box of kiwis in the other. It’s Spring Festival time.
Maureen Evelyn,
I was given a tolerant smile today — one of those. A woman — well-dressed, pricey boots, new mini-van, severe bun; dropped her child off at school, turned to me, and smiled tolerantly — tight-lipped, nose tipped up a bit. I, smiling a good-morning smile at her due to her proximity to me, fal…

The Washburn City Council will meet Monday with several very important items on the agenda. There will be a presentation by the Movin’ Out group of Madison with its proposal to build housing along Omaha Street. Most of the proposed 40 units would require residents to meet income requirements…
For many years, the Ashland Police Department has made do in its headquarters in the basement and third floor of City Hall. Planning for a new facility has been ongoing since at least 2004, when the city completed a comprehensive plan with a stated goal to “Promote the development of modern …
