Contamination to wine? Ashland ponders site’s renewal
An Ashland city official has addressed concerns about plans for a potential wine bar that have taken a step forward. The city is looking to apply for a sizable Department of Natural Resources grant to partially fund an $800,000 project that would transform what’s considered an eyesore in Ashland into a food/beverage operation with an outdoor gathering area. The eyesore in question is the former Baron Radiator Service building. But...

Meet Amy Rose. She is a new arrival at the Chequamegon Humane Association. She was very shy and under socialized when she first came to the shelter, but really has bloomed meeting all of the new animals and people she sees coming and going everyday. She’s treat motivated and is learning by leaps and bounds. She is eager to find her new home as she’s pretty lonely being by herself every night. She needs a home who is willing to work with her and gain confidence, a leader is what she is looking for.

Hi everyone, I’m Cuddles. I recently found myself back at the rescue after my owner came on hard times. I had a bit of an adjustment period as I don’t like other cats and this place has a lot of cat smells. I also had to get used to some new people caring for me. Once you earn my trust, I’ll show you my friendly, snuggly side. If you are looking for a solo cat for companionship, I’m your gal. I can’t wait to get out of here!

When they got home, they told Ralph and their mom, Lynn Hall, they had to go and try it for themselves. ...
Washburn campground expansion halted
The results of a spring vote have put the future of a proposed campground expansion in doubt. Voters have rejected future development along 16 acres across Holman Lakeview Driven near the waterfront. A portion of the acreage encompasses Thompson’s West End Park, where a project to expand the campground was in the works. As a result, plans to add four yurts to the campground as part of an expected $1.2 million project to expand the site can’t move forward without asking the public’s permission first. ...

Natural Connections: Protecting birds from your windows
The soft but sickening thud sent out a wave of impacts. Conversation, typing, and higher-level thinking stopped. From four corners of the office, heads instinctively turned toward the sound. Bright morning sunshine streaming through the window illuminated nothing unusual, though. With a mix of hope and dread, I opened the back door and scanned up and down the patio. Nothing. I sighed with relief and stepped back inside. I’d been expecting to find a small bird—lying either lifeless or stunned and glassy-eyed—at the base of...
