Theft Workers at the Dodge County Co-op in Mayville reported the theft of two magnetic, amber colored lights on Aug. 19.

The lights were removed from a truck parked in the co-op lot some time between Aug 17 and 19. The pair of lights is valued at $250. if over 20 days annually and $82 per day if subbing for six through 19 consecutive days. A motion by Chuck Schranz to raise the rates to $72, $78 and $85, respectively, failed. Schranz argued that money was the deciding factor when substitute teachers decide where to work.

He said it was "appalling" that part-time custodians are paid $8.30 per hour and the $70 per day rate for substitute teachers was only 45 cents per hour more. Waupun's 1995-96 pay rate of $65 per day was higher than most area schools for the coming year. That rate is now even higher. Other are district pay rates for 1996-97 include Beaver Dam $64, Watertown $65, Horicon $60, Mayville $60 and Fond du Lac $64.50. Nick Stoffel, board member, said he was "excited about what we can offer our students." He asked how else the district could offer extra language course or other advanced math and English classes at a lesser cost.

Accepting the grant money would not automatically commit the district to future years of participation, but to drop out and join again later would be costly. "The benefits far outweigh the risks," said Stoffel. His motion to accept the grant and DADE proposal was defeated on a 4-3 voice vote. Earlier, Lowell Prill's motion to postpone the issue indefinitely also failed on a 4-3 voice vote. 'Board members did approve raising the pay rate for substitute teachers.

The new rate is $70 per day, $75 per day The program operates via closed circuit television in which students from the participating schools can interact with a teacher at one of the schools. For example, a teacher in Beaver Dam could offer a course to students in Waupun, Horicon, Mayville, Lomira and Hustisford, without ever leaving the school. The Dodgeland School District decided earlier this year to not participate. Bill Zeininger, business manager, cautioned board members about the future funding from the district. "In 1997-98, we will have between $70,000 and $100,000 for new programs and teachers," he said.

"This year, we added two positions for about $76,000." Also, the district has already committed $43,000 for replenishing the building fund for projects already approved. WAUPUN Members of the Waupun School Board talked at length Wednesday night about whether to move into a distance learning program at Waupun High School but decided to hold off a decision until the special board meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Earlier this year, board members agreed to join the Dodge Area Distance Education (DADE) organization, pending receipt and acceptance of grant money to cover start-up costs. Waupun has been offered $93,090 to get the program off the ground; however, the district could be facing annual costs of nearly $50,000 starting with the 1997-98 school year.

Clinton was joined today by three women who were former welfare recipients, including Lillie Harden of Little Rock, Ark.

"I have never forgotten that," Clinton said, telling her, "I thank you for the power of your example." Thomas G. Mertig 1938-1996 nivLK you The Family of WASHINGTON (AP) President Clinton put his signature today on a historic overhaul of America's welfare system. He promised the legislation will "recreate the nation's social bargain with the poor" by compelling welfare recipients to go to work.

He also pledged to work on changing some provisions decried by key Democratic supporters. "Congress gave us a new reality.

Now we have to fill in the blanks," Ginton said. "We're going to take this historic chance to try to recreate the nation's social bargain with the poor."
