Before helping a turtle cross, drivers need to keep their safety top of mind. This means turning on hazards and safely pulling over to let surrounding traffic know the vehicle coming to a stop. Drivers should check both ways before heading into traffic.

Officials at the Wisconsin DNR provided tips on how to safely move turtles across the street.

"Most of our smaller turtles, like painted turtles and map turtles, they're easier to just kind of pick up by the shell," said Andrew Badje, a Wisconsin DNR conservation biologist. "However, if you're dealing with a larger snapping turtle, they can be a little feisty."..

The Wisconsin DNR says some safety changes include operators and passengers are now required to wear a seatbelt in a UTV and no towing objects bearing any person on a trail or route.

La Crosse County Sheriff John Siegel says the changes are aimed at increasing safety.

“We’re seeing more and more ATV and UTV trails and routes open up. Some of it is evolving with that, things like having to wear seatbelts and making that a requirement, not being able to tow somebody behind the ATV or UTV down a trail or on a roadway. Things that are going to keep people safe,” said Siegel.

There are also new safety rules regarding eye protection and front window tint.

VIROQUA Wis. – After years of planning and fundraising the long awaited rebuild of Eckhart Park’s main playground is now on a firm timeline with demolition set for mid July and a community build week scheduled for late September.

Parks and Recreation Director Kale Proksch told the Viroqua Public Works Committee last week that design details are nearly finalized and that the next few weeks will focus on ordering materials lining up volunteers and preparing the site.

He said the city is working from updated playground drawings that shift equipment slightly away from mature trees and fine tune the location of picnic tables and fencing to meet safety standards.

MINDORO, Wis. (WEAU) - At Stello Farms in Mindoro, FFA students spent the day teaching Melrose-Mindoro Elementary students about agriculture.

The day is part of the high school’s Food for America program. The program helps students develop leadership skills by engaging with peers and youth to share information about agriculture.

“It’s a great opportunity for the high schoolers to take everything they’ve learned throughout their time in high school and middle school agriculture classes, play the role of the teacher, and get the opportunity to educate the younger generation,” Melrose-Mindoro FFA advisor Maddie Dobbs says.
