Country CousinIssue Date: April 19, 2018 What froze over???
Mother Nature and Old Man Winter joined forces to pull a belated April Fools joke that started on Friday the 13th in most of Wisconsin and lasted into the wee hours of Monday, April 16. Swear that during parts of the storm, in addition to listening to the wind howl and the windows rattle, heard thunder. A neighbor says she saw lightning, and am pretty sure we're both right.

From My WindowIssue Date: April 19, 2018 A Rough Day at Work
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
One of the periodicals I read is "Inland Seas," the quarterly journal of the National Museum of the Great Lakes.

April 3 was election day when Coleman School had two referendums for school expansion and repair. Roofs that leaked for 2 years, and door security were the only things required. Only half the number of students now than what the school was originally built for.
The snow job was continually reported of how bad a 40-year old building was. A building made of iron and brick should last 200 years with maintenance.
Mother Nature played a big part of the low turn out. Many of the elderly stayed home because of the...
