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.

On Wednesday, August 17, 2022, the small church in the quiet little town of Melnik was humming with activity. There, over 30 area volunteers went about the enormous task of making over 2,000 authentic Bohemian Kolaches. Beginning at 3:30 a.m., the army of volunteers began making, then rolling, then filling and finally baking the tasty pastries.

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.

Sometimes it takes a lot of work to help a small community survive. Time passes. Generations are raised. Change happens.

Then one day, there’s the realization that something’s gotta give. There’s vision. Focus. Determination.

Newspapers are not dying. Despite what you’ve heard. Despite what you’ve seen. Despite what you’ve read. 

The real story here? The large newspaper companies won’t survive. Your hometown paper? That’s a different story. 

The main reason I am drawn to the newspaper business is because I am drawn to small towns. I am passionate about community and I love the connection a publication creates in cities of all sizes.
