In addition to new logos and uniforms, the team has unveiled the “WNB Financial Video Board,” Carson Park’s first-ever video screen.

Sailing Away With Yacht Rock Memories

Jan 25, 2025 | volumeone.org | Luc Anthony

Yacht rock has had a moment of late. HBO’s Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary was released last year to much chatter and commentary. This feels like a final establishment of the genre as an accepted and appreciated form of American popular music. Then again, how does one define “yacht rock”? The restrictive version by those who created the term and comedic web series in the 2000s? Accepting all “soft rock” of the 1970s and ’80s? Does a lyrical boat reference automatically qualify as yacht rock?

New State Legislative Maps Could Shuffle Valley’s Representation

Mar 5, 2024 | volumeone.org | Luc Anthony

In mid-February, the Wisconsin State Legislature passed new state Assembly and Senate district maps submitted by Gov. Tony Evers as part of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ruling on the constitutionality of the maps adopted in 2022. This will likely lead to near-equal chances that the Republican or Democratic parties could gain control of legislative majorities. Similar changes may be seen as part of our future Chippewa Valley-area elections.
