The South Winn wrestling squad competed at their Sectional Wrestling Tournament on Saturday at Lake Mills, taking second as a team and sending four individuals on to Districts this weekend.

The South Winneshiek school board decided to continue its Return to Learn plan for at least the next month after discussing the matter at Monday nights meeting.

The board briefly debated keeping its current model for the rest of the school year, which includes full-time in-person classes at the elementary/middle school and an option for in-person full-time, virtual full-time, or a hybrid schedule at the high school. After deliberation, the board decided to continue monitoring the plan on a monthly basis.

It’s only been a few months since she and her family learned of their rare genetic mutation, but Julie Buddenberg and her four siblings are well on their way toward doing their part to reduce any additional health risks.

“I was diagnosed with CDH1 gene mutation in July (2020). I did genetic testing following my breast cancer diagnosis a year ago,” explained Buddenberg, who lives near Decorah with husband Bruce. “CDH1 is a relatively new find and is similar to the BRCA gene.”
