The Town of Cato submitted this notice in a timely manner per state law, but it was inadvertently omitted from last week's Journal.

This week's Journal features a story about the USS Cobia submarine and plans to send it to dry dock. The Wisconsin Maritime Museum announced today that the departure scheduled for Thursday morning will be delayed until more favorable wind conditions are forecast. The story remains accurate except for that change.

Gardeners and Outdoor Project Enthusiasts: The Journal is looking for an area garden or home outdoor project to feature in our Fall Home & Garden section in September. We'd like to pay a visit and get some photos and an interview about what makes your gardening or other outdoor project special. With fall rapidly approaching, we'd like to make the connection soon so any plants and flowers etc. are still in photo-worthy condition. Please comment below, send a private message with contact information or email Mary Thomsen at [email protected]
Thanks!

Youth Baseball and Softball Coaches:
Thank you to those who have been submitting results of your Manitowoc County Youth Sports baseball and softball games. There is a lot of summer and many games left, and we have not heard from all of you! Those in our coverage area were sent emails asking for weekly reports, and the kids, parents and our readers love to hear about the games.
We can catch up on any games that haven't been reported and then go forward each week. Send those results to [email protected]
If you are reporting for the first time this summer, please include the roster with correct spelling of names with your first email.
Thanks!
