Good morning, Fond du Lac.

A 31-year-old Menomonee Falls man was arrested after a 9-mile police pursuit on March 18 that spanned Washington, Fond du Lac and Dodge counties — he now faces charges including first-degree recklessly endangering safety, felony fleeing/eluding and operating while intoxicated-third offense.

Fermin Teodoro Lopez-Mendoza, 51, was sentenced on March 18 to 20 years in prison — with 10 years of extended supervision — for a 2024 domestic violence stabbing in Fond du Lac County and will be deported after serving his term.

Envision Greater Fond du Lac, working with the school district, will host an information session on March 26 at 6:00 p.m. at the Lakeside Park Pavilion to explain the school funding referendum planned for the April 1 ballot — a measure that would allow the district to exceed its revenue limit by $10 million per year for four years — with funds used to cover operations, maintenance, and security improvements.

Brittany Kinser, an education consultant with strong conservative backing, will challenge current state superintendent Jill Underly on April 1—she has raised over $325,000 and supports school choice, stricter testing standards, and more state aid for schools.

Kinser, a former public school principal and charter school director, said rising costs and changes in test scores show a need for a stronger education system.

Junior Jackson Sweeny from Marian University earned the NACC Defensive Player of the Week award after making a season-high 20 saves, three caused turnovers and four ground balls in a one-goal win over Clarke on March 19 (Marian secured their first win of the season) and marked his fifth game (with at least 20 saves).

Three student-athletes from the Marian women’s bowling program have been honored by the CCIW.

Senior Jocelynn Eggert was named to the All-CCIW First Team for a second time, senior Brenna Schiekiera earned her fourth All-CCIW award and a spot on the First Team again, and sophomore Abby Giddings received the RESPECT Award for her strong character.
