5 days ago | chippewa.com | John Andersen

Well, we did it again. On April, 26 Kathy, I and about 90 other alumni from UW-Eau Claire Instrumental Music Program (also called the band program) came together for another alumni band concert. This was the second attempt at gathering band alumni to work together to play a solid concert, to celebrate ourselves, and the UW-EC Music Department.

Looking back on 2 decades with the clerk's office - John Andersen

2 weeks ago | chippewa.com | John Andersen

On April 15 I retired from being the Municipal Clerk/Treasurer for the town of Hallie. I held the job for over 20 years. I elected to switch jobs with my Deputy Clerk Sue Cance. Sue is the town of Hallie’s new Clerk/Treasurer. It was time. My mentor was a woman by the name Shirley Sipple. Shirley was known as the clerk/treasurer/board member, with the town of Hallie. Shirley spent 29 years as an elected official with the town, making her the longest serving elected official in the town's history.
The evolution of faith - John Andersen

When did you stop attending church? Considering tomorrow is Easter Sunday, perhaps that is an inappropriate question. You may feel that an apology is due you, which you may be right. Yet I think the question needs to be asked. According to a current Pew Research Center survey of 36,908 U.S. adults, after many years of steady decline, the share of Americans who identify as Christians shows signs of leveling off at slightly above six in 10.
Take time to gaze at the sky during celestial events, you may not get another chance - John Andersen

It's officially spring now. A week or so ago I sat in the Adirondack chair outside and soaked up some 73-degree sunshine, just like an old cat sleeping in the warm sun. I had stayed up the night before to watch the lunar eclipse. It was worth it. The copper-colored moon did not disappoint. We are given only so many sunrises, sunsets, lunar eclipses, solar eclipses, super moons, comets, meteor showers and other astronomical and seasonal delights.
You can visit home again - John Andersen

You never truly leave your high school. Social media now makes it easier to connect with your classmates and high school class reunions have stepped back in importance. My daughters have attended several of their class reunions but have found social media an easier way to keep up with their classmates. There are several times of the year I return to my high school days; those are the state football, volleyball, softball, baseball, men’s, and women’s basketball championships.
Let's end the 'nonpartisan' judicial election charade - John Andersen

1 month ago | chippewa.com | John Andersen

Over the last two weeks I have become really unhappy about the conduct of the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Anyone who has read this column from time to time knows that my politics. Yours may differ from mine and that is more than fine with me. I have friends in law enforcement and I have friends who are probation agents and I have friends who are judges. They, like me, come from all political persuasions. I have no trouble with that.
Broken health care system needs to be nationalized - John Andersen

I hope you have enjoyed the first few days of spring. With daylight Savings Time now in effect, it is nice to enjoy the increased daylight in the evenings. It has been a boost for our outlook on things. We need a boost right now after the HSHS announcement of investing $227 million in two aging hospitals in Green Bay. “Hospital officials announced the plan at a press conference Thursday, calling it the largest investment in the health system’s history.
The Ides of March don't have to portend doom - John Andersen

2 months ago | chippewa.com | John Andersen

Good morning, on the Ideas of March. If you forgot your Roman history, the Ides of March is associated with misfortune and doom because it is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC. This led to William Shakespeare writing "Et too, Brute?". It is a Latin phrase from William Shakespeare's play “Julius Caesar”. In the play, Caesar says this line as he is being stabbed to death by Roman leaders, including his friend Brutus. Some days are just like that.
Cities should not hinder towns seeking to incorporate - John Andersen

When I worked for the state of Wisconsin, I spent a fair amount of quality time working in the La Crosse, Onalaska, and town of Campbell area. La Crosse County is different than Chippewa and Eau Claire counties as it is part of Wisconsin’s Driftless Region. The Driftless Region is described as an area untouched by glaciers with forested hillsides that reach down to valleys, cut into limestone bedrock with cold-water trout streams and prairie remnants.
