Dodgeville's Vern Ott has been cutting hair downtown at his Village Barber Shop for 62 years. Unfortunately, at age 85, his back won't let him stand for long periods of time to cut hair anymore. So he made the decision to sell his shop to Josi Lee in August, and three-weeks later in September, Josi's Hair Salon opened its doors, and Vern was one of her first customers.

It's a nice story of transition. This video shares in Josi's excitement to start her own business, and Vern shares a couple stories of his barbering days. Be sure to buy a copy of this week's Chronicle as Vern and Josi are featured as our Spotlight story of the week. For all your local news and sports, you'll find it all in the Chronicle.

Northeast of Dodgeville on Chimney Rock Road, a man had a vision to build a Shrine. Paul Kramer, now 94-years-old, and a devout Catholic, built what is known as the Kramer Shrine, a place which is open to all who come with an open-heart seeking God.

In a recent interview with Paul, he explains what his inspiration was for building his Shrine. Paul financed and built his Shrine following a visit to Medjugorje in 1990. You can check out his story here. This week in The Chronicle, the Kramer Shrine is our Spotlight feature and you can read about how he got ideas to build it. There is also a QR code in the paper you can scan to see the entire interview with Paul Kramer.

The Kramer Shrine is open seasonally to the public, and Fall is a beautiful time to visit.
