On the second Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m, librarian Janice Foerster at the Marshall Public Library hosts a S.T.E.M event for local children aged roughly seven through 13 or 14, although younger participants are accepted depending on the activity.

Waterloo girls take down Marshall again
This season has been a long time coming for the Waterloo girls basketball team. The Pirates have long suffered against their rivals, the Cardinals of Marshall High School. Up until a win last season, Waterloo had lost 31 straight games to its rival dating back to January of 2007. While the Pirates earned an early win to buck that trend, the Cardinals went on to beat them twice more that season, including a season-ending defeat in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) state tournament. Waterloo...

Marshall girls still seeking first conference win
It’s been tough sledding for the Marshall girls basketball program this winter. With only three Capitol — South conference games remaining on the schedule, the Cardinals sit at 0-7 in conference play. Overall, they’ve lost seven straight as the end of the regular season draws nearer. Perhaps their best chance to get it done came on Monday, Jan. 22 in a home matchup with Wisconsin Heights. Instead, the Vanguards, winless in conference play until that point, erased a double digit deficit to sneak out a...
Marshall wrestling competes at Capitol Conference meet
With the 2023-24 wrestling postseason quickly approaching, the Marshall High School program took advantage of one last opportunity to sharpen up. The Cardinals headed to Lake Mills High School on Saturday, Feb. 3 to participate in the 2024 Capitol Conference meet. They ran into some stiff competition there. Marshall finished in seventh place of the nine participating teams with a total team score of 67. Lodi won the event with a team score of 285, followed by Sugar River in second with 237 and Waterloo...
Trevor Firari claims Capitol Conference championship
Waterloo senior wrestler Trevor Firari is a conference champion once again. He missed much of last season due to injury, including the Capitol Conference meet, robbing him of the chance to defend the title he claimed at 170 lbs. as a sophomore. The 2024 edition of the conference meet, hosted at Lake Mills High School on Saturday, Feb. 3, offered one last shot at redemption. Firari made the most of his opportunity, now wrestling in the 190 lbs. weight class. It only took three wins...
Benny Marshall's 31 points not enough in road Poynette loss
Win or lose, the Waterloo boys basketball team plays an exciting brand of hoops. The Pirates often engage in high-scoring shootouts where there’s no shortage of fireworks. The only problem is, they’ve ended up on the losing side of these entertaining matchups more often than not. Entering this week, the Pirates owned an overall record of 5-12 with a 1-4 mark in conference play. Monday, Feb. 5 seemed like a chance to get one in the win column with a trip to Poynette. While the...
Family donates ancestry book to Waterloo library, historical society
Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Giles presented two volumns of Giles family research done by Louise Giles Maddux, Tom's sister, to Maureen Giese, Waterloo Area Historical Society and also to Karl Junginger Memorial Library.

Waterloo boys get first conference win, nearly add another
Much like last season, the Waterloo boys basketball team has taken down Wisconsin Heights to win its first Capitol — South conference game. Last season, the two sides split their season series with Waterloo winning the first game, 55-48. This would be their last win of the year as the Pirates finished things out on a 13-game losing streak. Proof of improvement, and hopefully a better end to the season, may be found in Waterloo’s win over the Vanguards this season. Unlike last season’s 10-point...
Waterloo man arrested in armed road rage incident
A 29-year-old Waterloo man was arrested last week after a report of road rage with a firearm in Madison. According to an incident report on the Madison Police Department’s website, officers responded to a traffic incident at S. Gammon Road at Watts Road at about 12:30 p.m. Jan. 25.

When the suspect returned, he admitted to having a gun in his center console, according to the incident report. Police arrested the 29-year-old for carrying a concealed weapon, disorderly conduct while armed, and intentionally pointing a firearm at a person.
Waterloo girls take pair of tough conference losses
The top tier in girls basketball in the Capitol — South conference is beginning to make itself clear. New Glarus and Cambridge have distanced themselves as a pair of powerhouses this season. No team knows this better than Waterloo, which had to play them back-to-back in their two most recent conference games. They lived up to the billing. In a pair of home games, Waterloo lost 82-31 to New Glarus on Saturday, Jan. 20 and 71-33 to Cambridge on Friday, Jan. 26. ...
Marshall wrestling takes on non-conference triangular
As a final tune-up before the impending postseason, the Marshall wrestling team accepted a non-conference triangular invitation. The Cardinals headed off to Living Word Lutheran High School on Thursday, Jan. 25 to face the host Timberwolves as well as Kenosha St. Joseph. It was a strong day for Marshall. The Cardinals scored a 36-24 team win over Kenosha St. Joseph and battled valiantly in an eventual 41-34 loss to host Living Word Lutheran. ...
Trevor Firari takes first at Deerfield Scramble
The Waterloo wrestling program has been waiting for a performance like it had on Saturday, Jan. 27. The Pirates, which have earned a reputation as one of the area’s better programs in recent years, have had hurdles to clear in 2023-24. A string of injuries and recovery from said injuries has stunted a talented group from reaching heights they’ve grown accustomed to. That all changed at the 2024 Deerfield Scramble on Saturday. Waterloo, seemingly back to firing on all cylinders, was one of the best...
Marshall High School Scholarship Foundation hosts Turkey Tailgating
The Marshall Scholarship Foundation Dollars for Scholars hosted their yearly Turkey Tailgate fundraising event Jan. 25 at Marshall High School. The event started in 2014 and is one of many to help raise money for the foundation, which began in 2005 when the Marshall class of 2003 donated funds to start a scholarship foundation. At the time, the school and community worked together to find a model to base their...
