CLEVELAND — Claire Krummel had a chance to wear waders for the first time and trudge around in a creek collecting water samples last week as part of her Zoology 101 class at the University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc. The 18-year-old said she volunteered to be one of the students to wear the waders because she likes to do hands-on work. "It was actually really fun," she said. "It's cool seeing how much stuff is actually in the creek." However, after seeing all of the organisms in the water, "I don't think I'll swim in creeks as much anymore," she said. Krummel was one of 27 zoology students who tested the water [|topnews|img|FRONTPAGE#|quality] at Point Creek off of Manitowoc County X on Tuesday afternoon. UW-Manitowoc is collaborating with the Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership and Friends of Hika Bay to test the water in Point, Fischer, Centerville and Pine creeks. Calvin Creek may be added in the spring, according to James Kettler, LNRP executive director.



MANITOWOC — Federal law requires school districts to educate students with special needs until they're 21 years old, according to Dawn Lelou-Matte, director of pupil services for the Manitowoc Public School District. Until a few years ago, that meant students with cognitive disabilities would march with their class at graduation and then return to Lincoln High School until they were 21, spending some of their time at the school and some in a [|topnews|img|FRONTPAGE#|house] owned by the school district at the corner of South Ninth and Green streets.

It's a different story these days. The school district continues to educate them, but now the higher functioning cognitive disability students — 12 of them this year — are based at the University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc. This is the third year of the program, which is called Next Step U.W. The district has another program called Next Step Connections for students who need more supervision and assistance. Students in that program meet in an apartment at Washington Park Manor.

Students have the option of continuing until they're 21 or graduating with their class. The law applies to all students in special education, but it's typically only those with cognitive disabilities who continue after their class graduates, according to Lelou-Matte.
