Dispatches from Douglas County: Science experiments, art projects, a commanding Tigers pitcher and more – Superior Telegram


SUPERIOR — I love graduation stories! They’re pretty similar year-to-year, but it’s fun to see a new batch of students marching off to pursue their dreams.

Reporter Maria Lockwood has a story about a graduate of Douglas County’s Treatment Court.

Jonathan Crabtree, 41, is the program’s latest honoree.

We’ve also got photos

from the University of Wisconsin-Superior’s commencement, which took place Saturday, May 20.

Here are the rest of this week’s headlines:

Getting their hands dirty

Hudson Bonneville, 3, and his sister Harper Bonneville, 4, dig a path through sand for a rubber duck to travel down at the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve table during science night at Four Corners Elementary School on Tuesday, May 23. When they tilted the table and poured water on it, the duck made it to the bottom.

Four Corners Elementary School hosted Science Night

on Tuesday, May 23, complete with all sorts of hands-on activities. Children launched paper rockets; dug a stream in the dirt (seen above) to see if a rubber ducky could float when water is added; and watched as eggs were dropped from the bucket of a huge truck.

Pieced-together masterpieces
