Real-life true crime inspires haunting new novel
More than 20 years ago, Kelly Dwyer and her husband bought a house in Baraboo. But it wasn't until the day of the closing that they learned its unsettling history: It had formerly belonged to Charles Gollmar, one of the Gollmar brothers — circus owners and first cousins to the Ringlings — and Gollmar's widow, 62-year-old Alberta Gollmar, had been murdered in the house in 1938. The slaying, a "robbery gone wrong," even made The New York Times. Discovering this news at such an untimely moment might have given another buyer pause — but, in this case, the buyer was a writer with two novels under her belt.

Letter | Proposed cuts threaten Goodman Pool
Dear Editor: In the summer of 2006, the Goodman Pool opened on the southeast side of Madison with support from a generous donation by Irwin and Robert Goodman. Built by Daniels Construction and supported today by John Hayes of Goodman Jewelers, the Goodman pool accommodates a large percentage of the Black community on the southeast side of Madison, offers scholarships to qualified families through MMSD, and swim lessons through MSCR. Home to the Goodman Waves, the pool hosted the 2023 All-City Swim Meet. The pool also promotes connectivity within the community.
