Lakeland University gets $400K grant to boost campus safety

SHEBOYGAN – Lakeland University will use a $400,000 federal grant to strengthen campus prevention, education and response efforts involving sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and stalking. The three-year grant comes from the U.S. Department of Justice's Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus Program, according to a community announcement. The funding will support additional security camera coverage, prevention programming, employee training, student education and expanded access to support services. “At its core, this grant is about people,” Lakeland President Beth Borgen said. “It provides Lakeland with the resources to strengthen relationships, expand support systems and continue to offer a campus culture where students know they are valued, cared for and never alone when facing difficult situations. “Through education, prevention and compassionate response, Lakeland continues to invest in and build a campus community where respect, healthy relationships, personal responsibility and care for one another are woven into the student experience every day,” Borgen said. How Lakeland plans to use the $400,000 grant Among the planned changes is an expansion of security camera coverage intended to improve monitoring and student safety.

Tom Dombeck predicts all 3 Manitowoc-Sheboygan WIAA football Level 3 games

Just three high school football teams from Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties remain alive entering Level 3 of the WIAA playoffs . As I did for Levels 1 and 2, I’ll predict all three games involving area teams. I went 4-0 in my predictions last week and am 10-1 in the postseason. The games will be broken down by division in descending order, beginning with Division 3. Division 3 No. 3 Plymouth Panthers (9-2) at No. 1 Port Washington Pirates (11-0) The No. 10-ranked Panthers and top-ranked Pirates have already met this season. On Oct. 9, Port Washington prevailed 42-34 as Pirates junior quarterback Jack Bunyan had a monster game. Bunyan went 24-for-44 with 348 yards and five touchdowns, although he did throw a pick-6 in the first quarter. If the Panthers hope to advance to Level 4, they’ll need to contain Bunyan better than last month. As for Plymouth, senior Cole Kuhn will need to once again have a stellar game. He had more than 170 yards total offense in the first meeting, with 105 yards rushing, 72 yards receiving and a touchdown. He also threw a 3-yard touchdown. The Panthers have reached Level 3 four times previously since 2012,

Joel Nellis from Brookfield Central High School selected as Packers Coach of the Week

The Green Bay Packers have announced that Joel Nellis of Brookfield Central High School in Brookfield, Wis., has been named the Packers High School Coach of the Week. Nellis, in his eighth season as head coach at Brookfield Central, has the Lancers preparing for Level 3 of the WIAA Division 2 playoffs this week. They look to advance to the Level 4 state semifinals for the second time under Nellis' leadership. An up-and-down regular season, in which the Lancers faced one of the state's most challenging schedules, ended with a 3-6 record and a playoff berth as a No. 7 seed. Despite their regular-season record, the Lancers are playing their best when it matters most, defeating second-seeded Beaver Dam and No. 6 seed River Falls to earn a matchup with top-seeded New Richmond this week.
