Clean Your Medicine Chest Safely

On Saturday October 29th there will be a Pharmaceutical Sweep from 8AM to 2PM held at the Jackson County Recycling Center in Black River Falls.

Bring you unused or unneeded prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines in so they can be disposed of properly.  You should never throw these items away or flush them as the drugs can contaminate the ground water.  There is no charge for bringing in items to be disposed.

Best High School Teacher

By Cassandra Colson  Jackson County Chronicle - lacrossetribune.com

BLACK RIVER FALLS — Brad Markhardt doesn’t like interruptions in the agriculture class he teaches at Black River Falls High School.

So he wasn’t exactly happy when he heard about an impromptu assembly Friday that was going to take him and his students away from an introductory class.

He quickly pardoned the interruption.

State Superintendent Tony Evers was on hand to name Markhardt the 2011-12 Wisconsin High School Teacher of the Year.
