Weekly Blast!: Sometime between my last Weekly Blast and this past Monday someone (likely several) stole the large wooden panel (pic) from the Buena Vista Wildlife Area historical kiosk located just east of the junction of County Roads F and W. This beautiful panel (and the other with the prairie scene on the opposite side) were recently restored by students at UW-Stevens Point with funds donated to the family in memory of Greg Dahl, WDNR Wildlife Supervisor. This theft has been devastating to the family and the talented young students who spent months restoring this beautiful mural depicting one of the most unique wildlife species in the State of Wisconsin. Please, if you know anything, contact Lesa Kardash, WDNR Wildlife Biologist at 715-421-7813 (landline), 715-340-5034 (mobile) or Portage County Conservation Warden Jeff Nieling at 715-570-4388. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Sharon

There was a lot of activity on south side of Mill Road this week east of County Road U. Old, plugged, cement driveway culverts were removed and new culverts installed.

In addition, filled ditches were reshaped after the material was removed. Prior to this action lack of proper drainage led to local flooding. Thanks are extended to Public Works employees Leo Kruger and Garry Saeger, and Supervisor Scott Provost for conducting this work.

 

Enjoy the warm weekend. Hopefully, the Thursday morning frost was our last one for a while…Sharon
