As winter began losing its steam and spring began to creep in on the old Willow Valley farm, mother would send little Philip out to play. Rushing water from the melting snow was a great place to float boards. My dad would be upset because some of his scrap lumber washed away to Twin Bluffs and beyond.

BOSCOBEL, Wis. — The sport of girls wrestling in Wisconsin has seen a rapid increase in the number of students participating across the state. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, girls had to wrestle boys to take part in conference or state tournaments, as there wasn’t a standalone girls event for them to compete in. As a result, only a few hundred girls took up wrestling as a varsity sport. According to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, or WIAA, 227 girls wrestled in 2017-18.

A year and a half after Wisconsin lawmakers earmarked $125 million to clean up toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, the funds have yet to flow to contaminated communities. That’s due to a legal and philosophical debate over the limits of government power and the potentially harsh consequences of a decades-old environmental law. Lawmakers continue to hash out the rules to guide who would receive the money and, more importantly, the legal risks for entities that request it.
