It’s all about the food and love at Ignacio’s Puebla Street Food, a new Mexican restaurant near downtown Shawano.

Ignacio Ramirez-Juarez’s love for the food he grew up with in Puebla City, Mexico, inspired him to open the restaurant in early March.

“I just follow my heart,” Ramirez-Juarez said. ”When I was a child watching my grandma, my mother, my aunt cooking, that’s my way to cook.”

Wisconsin had 4.1 days suitable for fieldwork statewide for the week ending May 3, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Where fields were dry enough, manure spreading, spring tillage and fertilizer applications took place. Planting of soybeans and corn continued, although soil temperatures remain on the cool side.

Shawano 4, Pulaski 3

Shawano tennis players won a pair of singles matches and a pair of doubles matches to defeat Pulaski 4-3 on the courts of Shawano Community Middle School.

Tannier Thiel defeated Oriol Capella Rodon 6-4, 6-4, at No. 1 singles, and John Kim defeated Conrad Kreutzberg 6-1, 6-1, in the No. 4 slot.

Efforts to improve Shawano Community High School are going to be kicking into high gear in May, as some of the projects are coming to completion while much of the work will begin in earnest now that winter has ended.

A one-acre pond might not be a big deal to most people, but that’s not the case in one Shawano County village.

Eland is doing what it can to preserve Eland Mill Pond, an impoundment of Railroad Creek.

The dam that forms the pond is in need of repair, and the village just started a fundraising effort to come up with $100,000 for the project.

Road construction is underway on County Road BE between Shawano and Bonduel, complete with detours drivers will need to plan around in the coming weeks.

The road will be closed to through traffic until June 1, with access limited to local residents and businesses along the route. County Road BE is not meant to be used as a corridor, only for people who live there or need to reach businesses.
