The Red Raiders tennis team notched another shutout, this time over Green Bay Preble.

The closest match came at No. 1 doubles when Linde Lemerond and Aubrie Schuessler defeated Isabella Garcia and Ayla Rozz 7-5, 6-2.

Another suggestion has been made regarding how to combat homelessness in Shawano, and it’s a tiny one.

Two Shawano residents who have been advocating for the homeless in the community brought the idea of tiny homes to the Shawano Common Council on Sept. 10. They noted that it’s helping to combat the situation in cities like Oshkosh and Chippewa Falls.

A resolution in the case against Amanda Bowman, a Bowler woman who stands accused of arson, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and six counts of felony bail jumping, remains elusive as Bowman’s attorney asked for another continuance Sept. 10.

The Shawano Common Council approved an audit report from Kerber Rose accounting firm on Sept. 10 that showed the city passed with flying colors.

An opportunity to make some extra cash has spurred city of Shawano officials to ask Shawano County to hold off on their joint plan to close the Shawano Landfill on Dec. 31.

County officials appear to be OK with the request, with a few caveats.

Shawano County Executive Committee members discussed a proposed memorandum of understanding Sept. 3. The landfill is currently the responsibility of the city and the county.

Most wildlife experts and sportsmen agree the best way to protect a species is to make it a game animal. State biologists will analyze the species, conduct various population estimates and set hunting limits to ensure that species doesn’t drop below a certain level. Although non-game species in general are protected from hunting (such as songbirds), their numbers are not as closely monitored.
