Since I began writing for The Denmark News last month, the one question I hear most from readers is: "What's happening with the library?" Denmark has unfortunately been missing a public library branch for almost three years now, and many in the community are anxious to have one again.

In times like these, when our government and politics in general seem to be so corrupted and polarized, it is important that we remember that political scandal and trickery are nothing new, even in a small community like Denmark, Wisconsin.

For Neil and Deanna Greiling, farming is more than a way of making a living, it is a way of life. Neil learned about growing and selling high-quality produce from his father, Clarence, who had him helping in the field since he was a young boy. On his family farm in Baird's Creek near Green Bay's east side, Neil learned how to properly respect and maintain the soil in order to produce the best possible crop to bring to market.

On Tuesday, August 30th, a green-clad volunteer could be seen crossing back and forth across the crosswalk on Main Street in Denmark between Main Street Market and Bank First. What most did not see was the rotating fleet of police vehicles just out of sight who were ready to swoop in and pull over anyone who failed to yield to the pedestrian's right of way.

When it comes to major local events, we at The Denmark News recognized how important covering “back to school” would be for our paper. To get photos, as well as perspective, I was tasked with heading down to the bus drop-off area on Thursday morning to witness “back to school” for myself. The morning of Thursday, September 1st was a beautiful, clear and warm day.

Local news is an important part of any community. Local television news brings another form of intimacy to each story. For the viewer, it’s a connection to a personality and a face. What they see on television each day can often be just a small part of the anchor person or reporter’s story. The camera doesn’t show it all.

Denmark News. Digital edition. What’s the buzz? Why does The Denmark News offer a digital subscription? There are a lot of reasons.

The arrival of the internet and social media has helped mold and revolutionize the new age in media. You don’t have to like it. But allow me to explain why you may want to buy into it.

As August turns into September, the school buses will once again begin rumbling and the bells will once again be ringing. Ready or not, back to school is upon us. It’s time to dust off those school supplies and see what this new academic year has in store! 

A new kind of farm has taken root off of Langes Corners Road, just north of Denmark, and its crop may hold great benefits for many in the community!
