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

Weekly News Blast

Please help us congratulate Krystal Clark as the newly elected Vice President of the Portage County EMS Association. Krystal is not only a First Responder for the Town of Grant but also on the active rosters of Almond Fire & EMS, and Plover Fire & EMS. Krystal’s credentials and affiliations are as follows:

* National Registered Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) & National Registered Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)
* State of Wisconsin Licensed EMR & EMT
* U.S. Department of Defense STOP THE BLEED Certificated Instructor
* Wisconsin EMS Honor Guard Member
* National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) Member

Aside from EMS, Krystal can often be found at sporting events for her children or farming with her husband, Derek. Together they have four children and raise Angus beef here in the Town of Grant. While many know the Clark family and their long ties to the Town of Grant, Krystal’s family has been long active in the Town government as well. Krystal’s great-great grandfather served as Town Supervisor in 1893. For over 130 years, the Saeger family has been serving Portage County and the Town of Grant residents.  

Congratulations Krystal!
