Pittsville

... over the last, uh, few weeks.

Over in Pittsville.

So next year you'll have to get it on your calendar earlier.

All right, what else is going on here?

Well, we have an agriculture rescue training, but the registration deadline is today, so we need to get on this right now.

And this is put on by Mid-State Technical College in partnership with the National Farm Medicine Center, the Pittsville Fire Company, and a host of sponsors.

It's o- they are offering a two-day agriculture rescue training event October 23rd and 24th, so that's next Friday and Saturday, just outside of Marshfield.

Now, the emergency responders from La Crosse, Wisconsin are invited to register, but you need to register by today.

Space is limited.

You can reach out to Jerry Miner.

He's, uh, Pittsville fire chief over there.

He's the head honcho on all that fire deals.

CN also stated its support for separate dedicated infrastructure for new passenger services.

In Southern News, WSAW-TV reports that CN is investigating a derailment near Pittsville, Wisconsin, involving approximately 11 rail cars carrying sand.

The incident occurred at about 7.35 a.m. near Highway 80 in Pine Drive in Wood County.

CN said the derailed cars came to rest in various positions, but there were no fires, dangerous goods, or injuries.

Um, you know, growing up my parents taught me to work hard, to lend a hand, and to always show up when it matters most, and I think I carry those values through life in everything that I do.

Um, I was the first in my family to graduate from college, and went off to be a teacher in, in rural Wisconsin, the, Pittsville, the geographic center of the state.

Mm-hmm.

And, um, not far from Neillsville, and everybody has some connection to Neillsville.

... what was it that, that made you make the leap from being a private citizen to knowing that you needed to do something more?

Yeah, that's a great question, and it's still part of why I'm here today running for assembly.

Uh, I, like I said, I was a music teacher in Pittsville.

Mm-hmm.
