Possible injunction, project delay in Curtiss
Faced with a possible injunction against overloading its sewage system, the Village of Curtiss still has not received DNR approval for a plan to upgrade the treatment plant.
An injunction hearing scheduled for Aug. 29 has been postponed because of attorney conflicts, but Robert Hunter of the Wisconsin Dept. of Justice said this week another hearing date would be set soon for the state’s request to enjoin the village from violating its wastewater permit.
Vi l l a g e President Les Bowen said this week the village has petitioned the state to allow land spreading of material from the village’s operating lagoon until the new larger aerated lagoon can be built.
Bowen said he has been in contact with Gov. Tommy Thompson and legislators from this area, Rep. Pink Van Gorden and Sen. Marv Roshell, to talk about the state injunction.
“We’re told it’s not their intention to shut the plant down. If we can get the okay to land spread it, we won’t have to worry,” Bowen said.
Primarily because of waste loading from the Abbyland Pork Pack hog slaughtering plant in the village, Curtiss has been overloading its treatment system with too much waste material. Engineer Clayton Connell is working on a proposal to construct an aerated lagoon to handle the waste, but the DNR in the meantime wants Curtiss to live up to the effluent limitations it has drastically exceeded in the past two years.

Public schools openings set
Opening days have been set for the Colby public schools, August 25 and 26, with three parochial schools in the district also following the same schedule.
The first day for students is Tuesday, August 25, for grades one through nine only. It is a morning session and buses will return at noon when the classes are dismissed. Wednesday, August 26, is the first day of regular classes, with a full schedule for all students, kindergarten through grade 12. Special education classes, however, will not start until August 31.
The three parochial schools are Zion Lutheran and St. Mary’s Catholic schools at Colby and St. Louis Catholic school at Dorchester.
Limited parking will be available at the Colby high school parking lot when school opens. The parking lot project is not completed and consequently school officials are requesting all who do not absolutely have to drive cars to school to please not drive until the lot is completed. School bus loading and unloading will have to be relocated and they will require much of the usable parking area.
Student activity fees must also be paid the first day. The fee for grades 10 through 12 is $7. This covers entrance to home athletic games, lyceum programs and towels. For grades seven through nine, the fee is $2 for lyceum programs and towels. Locker key deposits are 50 cents.
The hot lunch program will run for three days the first week.
