Thankfully, our vaccination efforts are paying off. Our communities are making progress in getting control of COVID-19, as shown in decreases in positive cases, hospitalization rates and deaths.

Stanek column: Should you need to tell people this?

I was in a regional store and saw this new sign on the wall: “Please do not leave refrigerated or frozen food on random shelves. Return them to their freezers or give them to an employee. If this continues, we will need to raise prices to make up for the losses.”

Letter: We are humans, not cattle

As you travel through the country in and throughout Sauk County, you will see a spattering of spotted cows. It's part of the country drive experience, one which you'll not find in prevalence of places near Madison. The CDC and Dr. Fauci have talked often about a concept called “herd immunity.”  I take exception to that.

Last week, I received an email addressed to me at the Reedsburg Independent email. It said we had been chosen to receive a Best of Reedsburg Award. It looked legitimate. It was even signed with a name and contact information.

Letter: Imagine if politicians could no longer pander

Think of all the money saved by government if politicians were no longer able to buy votes with tax payer money as Biden did in 2020. I call that money “Biden Bucks.” Biden's new slogan, "I have not yet begun to pander!" He told voters in the state of Georgia that as soon as he was inaugurated, there'd be checks in the mail.

Guest commentary: House flip class provided experience, benefitted from numerous donors

The house at 134 Eagle St. has been in Reedsburg for decades. The house served as the office for the Baraboo Concrete Company’s Reedsburg operation from 1982 until their operations ceased around 2000. After that it was a rental property. It sat vacant for many years after that, continuing to deteriorate.
