New Scoreboard May Be On Horizon
– Local Companies Offer To Donate New LED Scoreboard To School

Dennis Butz of Smith and Hatch Insurance is looking forward to the new school building and athletic facilities coming to Kewaskum.
“With a brand new facility and a brand new field, and now that soccer is going to be played there too, we could use a new scoreboard,” Butz thought to himself.
So he approached Jason Piittmaan, athletic director for the school district. Piittmaan directed Butz to Daktronics, a sports marketing company that creates scoreboards.

A series of tariffs put on newsprint paper by the U.S. Department of Commerce earlier this year have worked down the supply chain to hit small community newspapers hard in recent weeks, including the Dodge County Pionier, Campbellsport News and the Kewaskum Statesman.
Ripon Printers, who has printed this paper for many years, announced two weeks ago that they had to raise their printing prices for newspapers over 20 percent beginning July 1 due to the tariffs.
