Editorial: Use tax windfall for water testing
In early 2020, in this space, we posed a question regarding perfluorinated chemicals or PFAS, known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment: How much of those chemicals would you like in your glass of water?
We’re confident your answer was “none at all” then, and remains the same.
People in the Town of Campbell would love to give the same answer. But many of them have no choice.
In Campbell, with a population of fewer than 5,000 on French Island across the Mississippi River from La Crosse, there was no money to conduct water testing in 2020, when contamination from the nearby La Crosse Regional Airport was disclosed, and homeowners naturally wanted to know if PFAS had reached their wells.
This cliffhanger has a happy ending.
A Caledonia house on the verge of falling off a crumbling bluff into Lake Michigan has sold after months on the market.
The new owner will likely demolish the house and reinforce the eroded cliff before building something new on the 11 acres of lakefront property.
The sale, in late April, hasn t stopped people on social media from reacting with surprise to the dramatic drone photos included with the listing. Posts about the home from the account Zillow Gone Wild have garnered attention in recent days. Let me just step ou- OHMYGOD, one commenter joked on Instagram.

LAKE GENEVA â The sizzle of bacon and sound of live music was in the air for the first Downtown Lake Geneva Bacon Fest, an event that sold out of its 2,500 tickets about a week before the event.
âWe came for the bacon,â said Drew Peterson, who came to town from Forest Park, Illinois, along with his 13-year-old son.
Peterson and his son tried the bacon tacos, the sliders, chocolate-covered bacon and cheese curds, Peterson said.
