City of Tomahawk Asks Residents to Weigh in on Outdoor Recreation

Published on 11/13/2018 under News Outdoor enthusiasts that utilize Tomahawk parks, trails and other areas will have a chance to weigh in on those opportunities. The city is currently updating their Outdoor Recreation Plan, which sets the city's recreational direction for the next five years. Officials are partnering with the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission to complete the work. That includes a short online survey for those who participate in outdoor recreation. The survey includes approximately 20 questions on topics such as park usage, types of recreational activities, and rating the various parks and trails in town. There is even a short exercise to spend imaginary dollars on various improvements. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and includes areas for comments, as well. Once the data is gathered, the City will move forward with completing the plan which will serve as a rough guide to the city's recreation planning. They are accepting the online surveys through November 30. A link is available on the city Facebook page.

Published on 11/13/2018 under News STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP) — University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point officials have reduced the number of majors slated for elimination by more than half. The school in March proposed eliminating 13 programs to help cope with a projected $4.5 million budget deficit over two years. University officials announced Monday that they've modified the proposal to cut six majors, including French, German, geoscience, geography, history and two bachelor's degree concentrations in art. University officials said they were able to save the remaining seven majors due to faculty retirements and resignations resulting from deficits and decreasing enrollment. UW System regents must sign off on the proposal. The university says a final plan must be ready by spring to coincide with submission of the next fiscal year's budget.
