MPTC offers free peer-to-peer tutoring | Regional news | wiscnews.com MPTC offers free peer-to-peer tutoring aholbrook-at-capitalnewspapers-dot-com Apr 23, 2016 0 The fear of math is something many have experienced more than once in a lifetime, but for Moraine Park Technical College student Nichole Cochenet, West Bend, that fear was eased thanks to her Moraine Park tutor. “I gained a better understanding of math and confidence in the classroom, and some of my fear of math disappeared,” said Cochenet. “I also gained a friend.” The one-on-one peer tutoring services offered at Moraine Park have benefited numerous students throughout the years but is still a valuable college resource often overlooked by students, according to Michelle Duran, tutoring services specialist. Some students are simply afraid to ask for help or don’t know where to go, but many others assume a tutor is not available for the course in which they need assistance, and that is typically not the case. “This year we had tutors for more than 100 courses,” said Duran. “We matched 142 students with 53 tutors, some of whom work with more than one student.” Since the fall semester of 2013, Grace Bleiler, Beaver Dam has been tutoring for classes such as English composition, intro to business, college mathematics, accounting and more. “I have benefited by a higher GPA as I’ve had to spend more time studying to be able to help my fellow students,” said Bleiler. “I have also met some incredible people and been able to get involved at a deeper level because of my connections with tutoring.” http://www.wiscnews.com/bdc/news/local/article_7ce1ff48-1abb-5ead-a9dc-7728543af5a6.html[4/25/2016 8:09:56 AM] MPTC offers free peer-to-peer tutoring | Regional news | wiscnews.com Bleiler became a tutor “Because it was a great opportunity for me to network, help students, learn more about my school subjects and earn money at the same time.” While students who tutor are paid for their services, tutoring is completely free of charge for students that receive the tutoring, said Duran. For Nancy Schaefer, Fond du Lac, the opportunity for tutoring presented itself during class one day. “I saw someone in need and offered to help,” said Schaefer, who then signed up to be a tutor and is now tutoring her classmate. “If students need help, they definitely should just ask so I can start searching for someone who can help them right away,” said Duran. “It is very easy to request a tutor by filling out the request form online or by just giving me a call so I can walk the student through the process.” To sign up to be a tutor or to request a tutor call Michelle Duran at 920-924-6488 or visit morainepark.edu/tutor. aholbrook-at-capitalnewspapers-dot-com Follow aholbrook-at-capitalnewspapers-dot-com You might also like Man' drugs led to woman's Writer finds peace by spreading Republicans lay out agendas a http://www.wiscnews.com/bdc/news/local/article_7ce1ff48-1abb-5ead-a9dc-7728543af5a6.html[4/25/2016 8:09:56 AM] Local News Briefs Monday 4/25/16 Home News KFIZ Sports Obituaries Community Search KFIZ On KFIZ On-Demand Back Local News Briefs Monday 4/25/16 25-Apr-2016 Waupun Man Pleads In Drug Overdose Death Case A 33-year-old Waupun man will be sentenced in July for sullying drugs in a 2009 overdose death. Christopher Skalitzky last Friday in Dodge County Court pled no contest to five charges stemming from the death of 25-year-old Shallen Carlene Manske of Junea. She was found unresponsive by officers responding to a possible overdose and pronounced dead a short time later. An autopsy indicated that she died as the result of those drugs or from a pre-existing seizure disorder. Skalitzky will be sentenced July 29. FDL School Board Preview The Fond du Lac School Board will go through some reorganization during their meeting tonight. Fond du Lac County Judge Peter Grimm will swear in returning members Elizabeth Hayes and Mark Jurgella, and newcomer Peggy Breister who won election to the board earlier this month. Board officers will be elected, compensation set for school board members and other business will be conducted. The board meets at 5 p.m. at the District Administration Center Board Room on West 9th Street. Tree Cutting Scam A Fond du Lac Police officer urges residents to be careful about not falling for a scam involving tree trimming. Erik Foster says utility companies are doing their annual tree trimming. He says scammers will work those neighborhoods approaching residences while the trimming is going on. He says someone will approach your home and tell you they are with the utility company and need to look at your property. He says while that person tours the property with you, someone else your home and robs you. He says ask them to come back when someone is with you or lock your doors if you go outside the home with them. But he says first ask for ID and call the utility company to verify they have sent someone to look at your property. Foster says the scam hasn’t hit Fond du Lac yet, but cities to our south. County Supervisors Updated On Elizabethkingia Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller was recently asked to update the County Board on Elizabethkingia. Mueller told the Board it’s not a rare disease. She says it usually occurs five times a year in a state and the state has seen it in the past. She says what makes it so unusual this year is the size of the outbreak. It’s the biggest outbreak the state has ever seen with about 50 people who tested positive for it and 18 deaths that may be attributable to it. She says it’s hard to say if the 18 deaths are because of the bacteria. She says it usually strikes people 65 or older that already have serious underlying medical conditions. She says there’s only been one case in the County and that person was successfully treated for it. NFDL Village Board Considers Maintenance Contract For Well The North Fond du Lac Village Board is exploring whether it should contract for the maintenance of Well #4. Village Administrator Chuck Hornung says Utility Service Management Group will take care of the maintenance of wells for an annual fee. He says they contracted with the group on a well and that saved the village some money when issues arose with it. He says the well was being rehabbed when a number of things were found that had to be fixed, which was covered under the contract saving the village money in the process. He says now the Village Board is considering whether to approve a contract for maintenance of Well #4. He says the village board will consider it at their next meeting.

Cathy Sandeen told KFIZ News that the UW System is concerned about the affordability of their schools. She says they are still the most affordable choice for higher education in the state. She says their average tuition and fees are about $5,000 per year, which is way below other options. She says any hike in tuition would be carefully considered, but they do have faculty and staff that are under compensated compared to their peers. She says they do worry about retention and a modest, conservative tuition increase would be needed to reward those people who serve their mission so well.

She decided to begin tutoring in classes such as pharmacology, health promotions and complex health alterations this semester because, “I appreciate the mentorship and help that I have received from students ahead of me in the program, and it is important to me to extend that help to the nursing students right behind me in the program.” When asked why she enjoys tutoring, Krewald said, “My absolute favorite part of tutoring is when the person I am tutoring e-mails me to share she passed the exam that we studied for together!” For Nancy Schaefer of Fond du Lac, the opportunity for tutoring presented itself during class one day. “I saw someone in need and offered to help,” said Schaefer, who then signed up to be a tutor and is now tutoring her classmate. “If students need help, they definitely should ‘just ask’ so I can start searching for someone who can help them right away,” said Duran. “It is very easy to request a tutor by filling out the request form online or by just giving me a call so I can walk the student through the process.” To sign up to be a tutor, or to request a tutor, call Michelle Duran at (920) 9246488 or visit morainepark.edu/tutor.

The graduating students were: Allen Tackes of Allenton; Ryan Draeger of Beaver Dam; John Weiland of Campbellsport; Brad Fehrmann of Mayville; Doug Scheuerman of Slinger; Ed Boyung and Michael Miller of West Bend; and Ed Fisher, Corey Jansma and Robert Marsh of Waupun. A graduation ceremony took place at Moraine Park’s Fond du Lac campus last month to commemorate completion of the Boot Camp. Marilyn Sievert, director of learning & development at Weasler Engineering, along with Craig Habeck, programmable logic controller instructor, spoke during the ceremony. Additionally, Jim Eden, Moraine Park’s vice president of academic affairs, and JoAnn Hall, dean of economic and workforce development, addressed the recent graduates. “The training you receive during the boot camp is just the start on your journey in life-long learning,” said Hall. “And, it’s a good start. One that gives you new skills to take to the workplace and put into practice and sets a strong foundation for continued growth. We all have to learn and grow in our jobs. Our employers demand it, our customers demand it and we should always demand it of ourselves. You’ve developed a network of resources to rely on during the boot camp. Take your technical skills and your network with you, but know that Moraine Park is here for you on every step of the life-long learning journey.” The PLC boot camp is designed for individuals working in an industrial maintenance position and wishing to gain additional training in the PLC field. Moraine Park’s Manufacturing Skills Academy offers short-term training programs, known as boot camps, in several other fields such as robotic welding, industrial maintenance and welding manufacturing. They were designed to combat the shortage of skilled manufacturing workers in Wisconsin. Since August of this past year, five classes in various fields have completed these boot camps. Since these programs started in 2012, there have been 23 boot camps with nearly 200 graduates. Moraine Park partners with many local manufacturing employers. Business partners for the PLC boot camp included: Burgess Norton, Marchant Schmidt, Regal Ware Inc., Saputo Cheese USA Inc., Serigraphy Inc., Signicast and Weasler Engineering, Inc. Some camps are funded by the U.S. Department of Labor TAACT Grant, while others are funded by the Wisconsin Fast Forward Blueprint for Prosperity Grant.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., community members are encouraged to visit any (or all) of the 52 local lemonade stands, organized and operated by 170 area grade school students. For lemonade stand locations and a printable map, visit www.fdlworks.com/students and then click on Lemonade Day or stop by the Fond du Lac Area Association of Commerce after May 1. More than delicious lemonade, Lemonade Day is the culmination of weeks of learning and hard work. On Saturday, May 7, students will open and operate their Lemonade “business,” for the public. Through the live experience, these students will be able to understand the impact of the decisions they made along the way in developing their business plan. They earn real money and use 100 percent of their profit to spend, save and share based on their business goals. “Kids learn about everything from buying supplies, to marketing, to picking their perfect selling location,” explained Melissa Worthington, vice president of the Fond du Lac Area Association of Commerce. “Lemonade Day is an incredible opportunity for area students and we hope the Fond du Lac community is able to come out, enjoy delicious lemonade and support these young entrepreneurs.” Lemonade Day, powered by Google, is a projectbased learning opportunity that teaches students how to start, own and operate their own small business: a lemonade stand. The nationwide program helps kids set up successful stands with the assistance of adult mentors. It teaches children fundamental skills related to planning, strategic thinking, financial management, sales, marketing, business management and community partnership. Lemonade Day in Fond du Lac is a program of Fond du Lac Works, a division of the Fond du Lac Area Association of Commerce (AC). For more information visit www.fdlworks.com/students or contact the AC at (920) 921-9500.

The mission of Fond du Lac Works is to recruit, retain and develop a quality workforce. This mission is, in large part, to help better address the looming skilled labor shortage facing our area. Developing a skilled labor pool needed by area business and industry is critical for the future success of our community. Reaching this goal begins with students currently in the K-12 pipeline. By engaging students of all ages, the next generation will be better prepared to attend a post-secondary institution that aligns with a career interest and ultimately increase the percentage of students that graduate with a degree needed by area businesses and industry.

Aeropostale Closing At Forest Mall The clothing chain Aeropostale is closing 113 stores in the U.S. including one in the Forest Mall in Fond du Lac.

Johnson Street Brick Replacement Work Next Week Fond du Lac’s Public Works Department tell us there will be maintenance to the brick crosswalks on Johnson St. between Pioneer Rd. and National Ave. Work begins Sunday when crews will be replacing missing and damaged bricks in crosswalks from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning. The work is expected to take 4-5 days. Since all the work will take place at intersections, drivers are being asked to be extra cautious when encountering the crew particularly when making turning movements. Only single lanes will be closed at any time and the crew will move along rather quickly. Intersection Improvements Will Accommodate Overweight And Oversized Vehicles Governor Scott Walker recently approved approximately $236,000 to improve the State Highway 23 and U.S. Highway 151 intersection in Fond du Lac. The project begins Tuesday and will be finished by June 30th. Michels Corporation of Brownsville is the prime contractor. The project will widen the ramp intersection radius with the construction of truck aprons at the Highway151 southbound on-ramp and Highway 23 to accommodate oversize or overweight vehicles. Currently there are wind tower transport vehicles that turn left from the right lane that require the use of a police escort to stop traffic. The project modifies the intersection to safely accommodate these vehicles without the use of a police escort. Lane closures associated with this construction can be expected on Highway 23. State Representative Thiesfeldt On Highway 23 Delay State Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt says he doesn’t know why Federal Judge Lynn Adelman waited so long to deny a motion to reinstate the Highway 23 expansion project between Fond du Lac and Plymouth. He says the DOT got the information the judge wanted for their motion to him last December. He says even if the judge had reinstated the project waiting until the end of April to issue his decision would have pushed the project back several years. He says at the earliest the project would have been pushed off until 2018. He’s hoping the DOT will appeal the judge’s decision, but he says a petition started by citizens certainly would help the effort to get the project reinstated. Thiesfeldt says he’s surprised some of the families who have lost loved ones on that stretch of highway haven’t filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the group 1,000 Friends of Wisconsin who initiated the lawsuit that led to the judge’s decision.

But more creative means also exist. One avenue is through franchise fees, which municipalities collect from cable companies who in exchange establish the infrastructure needed to provide television service to subscribers. “A franchise was a contract between the city and the cable company, allowing the cable company to use the public right of ways, the telephone lines, and as part of that contract, they paid what is called a franchise fee,” West Bend Community Television Coordinator Mike Ryan said.

Until 2008, municipalities negotiated their own fee structure, but that has changed. “In 2007 the Legislature changed that,” Moore said. “Instead, the cable companies could negotiate with the state of Wisconsin for essentially any of the communities they wanted to serve in the state, and set forth a set franchise and set stipulations for the types of things that would have been in a local franchise.” Moore said the process encourages competition. “Rather than going to different cities, cable companies could go to the state, get a franchise from the state that would allow them to construct facilities and allow them to offer a video product wherever they wanted to in the state,” Moore said. “It makes it easier.” Moraine Park Technical College student Elena Yopps, when asked to look at a sample bill, didn’t realize the franchise fee was listed. It didn’t appear to bother her. “Companies do that all the time,” Yopps said. “I am sure companies have bills to pay they just distribute to their customers and include it in as a service fee.” Property of Wisconsin News Tracker and members of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

Originally from Madison, the 25year-old University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh graduate majored in journalism with emphasis on writing and editing, and visual, and minored in environmental studies. He graduated in December 2013. “The Daily News is fortunate to have Alex on our team,” Editor Jennifer McBride said. “He is curious and creative and will bring a fresh perspective to the Daily News and the community.” After graduation, Beld worked for a marketing company — DealerFire. It was later bought out and changed to DealerSocket. He was a content writer and search engine optimization specialist. At Oshkosh, he wrote for the school’s student newspaper — the AdvanceTitan. “I decided that I preferred, if I was going to be writing, I preferred to do something in the world of news rather than doing more marketing,” he said, adding he likes reporting on local news. At the Daily News, he will cover local business, the West Beld Bend School District, Moraine Park Technical College and the University of WisconsinWashington County. Beld said he likes the storytelling aspect as his reason for being a journalist. “I like finding things out that people don’t know about, even people who have been living in the area for a while,” Beld said. He knew journalism was a career worth pursing his freshman year at Oshkosh. “I took some entry level courses and it just seemed to fit,” Beld said. Beld’s interests include the outdoors, photography, design, downhill skiing, rock climbing, art and, of course, writing. Reach sports editor Nicholas Dettmann at ndettmann@conleynet.com.

She does not settle for what has been done, but constantly strives to improve care.” “They were all such great nominations, I feel very honored to win,” said Fideler, who has worked at St. Joseph’s Hospital for 14 years. “I really like patient care. I enjoy helping patients educate themselves so they can be healthy.” “Nicole has a genuine concern for her patients, which can be heard during her conversations with the patient in the clinic as well as on the phone,” said Roecker. “She exhibits excellent communication NICOLE FIDELER skills among her colleagues as well, be it explaining a specific procedure, scheduling surgery or coordinating efforts.” Fideler received her associate’s degree in nursing from Moraine Park Technical College.

In addition to Fideler, nominees were Tammy Boelk, Birth Center; Julie Cobb, Kramer Cancer Center; Sandy Dunnington, Surgery; Jennifer Finger, ED; Laura Lehrer, Med/Surg; Melissa Ratzmer, ED; and Amy Seebantz, Med/Surg. “Much to my disappointment, Nicole has continued her journey in her thirst for knowledge by recently transitioning to the Birth Center Special Care Nursery,” said Roecker. “Her presence and contributions will be missed in the cancer center. May her new colleagues benefit from Nicole’s nursing excellence as I know she will deliver. It is because of her excellence she deserves this award.” Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin St. Joseph’s Hospital, founded in 1930 by local doctors, community leaders and the Sisters of the Divine Savior, is a full-service hospital serving residents of West Bend and Washington County.

Local News Briefs For Monday 5/16/16 Home News KFIZ Sports Obituaries Community Search KFIZ On KFIZ On-Demand Back Local News Briefs For Monday 5/16/16 16-May-2016 Money For NFDL Splash Pad Will Be Included In County Budget The Fond du Lac County UW Extension Education, Agriculture, and Recreation Committee recently approved putting $26,000 into the 2017 County Budget for the North Fond du Lac Pool splash pad project. County Executive Al Buechel says the County Board recently approved something similar for Ripon. He says about the same population would be served by a splash pad at the North Fond du Lac Pool. He says something similar occurred when the pool was put in at the County Fairgrounds in Fond du Lac. He says a supervisor representing the North Fond du Lac area asked the County to do something for North Fond du Lac. Buechel says the County agreed to take over the pool debt service payments in the Village for six years. Buechel says even though the money for the splash pad will be included in the County Budget for next year it will still have to be approved during the budget process. Fire Pit Burning Concerns The Division Chief of Fire Prevention for Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue says they have been experiencing problems with residents burning materials they are supposed to while using fire pits. Troy Haase says you can burn clean wood, but nothing else. He says people are burning garbage, cardboard and parts of furniture. He says they’ve reached a point where they are going to have cite people for the violations. He says they will allow a little leeway for people who are new to the area and don’t know about the City ordinance regarding fire pits yet. But he says there are things people should know they obviously can’t burn. WEATHEROLOGY Fond Du Lac, WI 49° Johnson Gets State GOP Endorsement During Convention U.S. Senator Ron Johnson got his party’s endorsement when Republican’s held their State Convention in Green Bay this past weekend. GOP Communications Director Pat Garrett says Johnson will be better for the state than his opponent former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold. He says Johnson is a citizen legislator who has proven to be a real problem solver in Washington. Garrett says Feingold is more about growing government. He says Feingold spent 18 years in Washington and is more about growing Washington Government than growing Wisconsin. One of the hot debates is over who dropped the ball when it came to doing something about medication abuses at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tomah. Garrett says they have some telling audio they haven’t released yet that shows Feingold’s office knew about the abuses before he left office. He says Feingold knew as early as 2008 while Johnson took action as soon as possible.
