I would like to invite all men and women that have served and are serving to the 2019 Veteran’s Day Program. The program will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 2019, at 7:00 p.m., in the Belleville High School Gym.
You will be honored by a program meant to honor you. Please come and join us.
There will be a table when coming in the gym for you to fill out a form before taking a seat on the chairs. I would like to know what branch you served in, or are serving in. If you are unable to attend please ask a family member to stand in for you.

Dear Editor,
The lack of broadband internet service is not the only telecommunication problem in rural Wisconsin. Like many rural homeowners, our house is beyond the range of reliable cell phone service. Thus, our landline phone is our lifeline for reaching emergency help. For people like me who have an implanted pacemaker that is monitored through the phone line by a hospital, my landline is literally a lifeline.
