School board propose county meeting At a meeting of the Clark County Association of School Boards at Granton Jan. 14, it was agreed to call a meeting of all school boards in Marathon, Wood, Taylor and Clark counties to discuss mutual school problems.
The meeting was set at the Colby high school Monday, Jan. 26, at 8 p.m.
Several members at the Clark County meeting expressed concern about the ever-increasing cost of school operation as it pertains to already over-burdened tax bases.
“The consensus of the Clark County school board meeting was that something should and can be done if we exert unified strength,” said Jack Nikolay of the Abbotsford School Board.

Sno-Chaser members and other snowmobilers will travel to Owen, then back east to meet up with members of the Trailblazers and their group of sleds. At some point on the route the torch will be passed, and will be carried to Sparetime Lanes and Lounge in Colby, where coffee, hot chocolate and doughnuts will be served courtesy of Hedler’s Jack and Jill Supermarket. A program will follow, probably at about 2 or 2:30 p.m.

If weather and snow conditions do not permit snowmobile travel, a pair of 1990 Ski-Doo Safari L machines specially equipped with wheels will be able to keep the torch moving down Wisconsin’s highways.
