The Eleva-Strum Honors Society worked selling concessions to raise funds for a service project. Today they donated fans to Strum-Unity Fire and Rescue and Eleva Fire Department. We are very honored and thankful to receive this wonderful donation. We plan to use this fan to aid in drying hoses and turnout gear. Thank you Tracy Marsolek for being a huge part of Honor society and thinking of your local fire departments. Thank you to all the students involved in the Honor society that helped make this possible.

Rick Engen Eleva Fire, Lucas Grangaard of the Honor society. Matt Fendry, Nora Fendry of Strum Fire.

Attention ATV/UTV riders! Expect increased patrols this holiday weekend.

Heading out for one last ride of the summer? Law enforcement will be out on Wisconsin's trails and routes from Aug. 29-31 as part of the statewide "Think Smart Before You Start" campaign.

DNR wardens and county deputies will focus on safety, watching for individuals driving while intoxicated, speeding and operating recklessly. Let's do our part to ride responsibly and keep our trails safe for everyone.

When riding an ATV or UTV, always remember to plan ahead, stay sober, ride smart and wear your helmet (and seatbelt on a UTV!)

🟡Lake Altoona beach and Lake Eau Claire beach have changed to a water quality advisory as algae toxins levels have lowered from very high to moderate. We still recommend that people and pets stay out of the water- do not swim, boat, touch, or swallow water near an algae bloom.

This status will remain for these two beaches through the weekend until Labor Day, when we officially conclude our beach monitoring program.
