LAC DU FLAMBEAU – A Federal judge ruled yesterday that the Lac Du Flambeau Tribe must temporarily stop enforcing its fishing restrictions on non-tribal members while the tribe’s lawsuit with the State of Wisconsin moves forward.  The ruling essentially continues a temporary restraining order against the tribe issued last month.  The tribe says the restrictions were put in place on lakes within the Lac Du Flambeau Reservation for their conservation efforts.

IRONWOOD - The Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District will end childcare services at the Little Learners Early Childhood Center in Ironwood effective Aug. 14, citing ongoing financial challenges and the loss of a Strong Beginnings Expansion Grant.

Superintendent Dr. Alan Tulppo said the decision followed an extensive review of operations, finances, and long-term sustainability. He called the closure difficult but necessary under the current funding model. The district's state-funded Great Start Readiness Program for 4-year-olds will continue at the Little Learners site without interruption.
