• A billion-year-old gorge and two wild rivers wait near the Twin Cities (wheninyourstate.com) — St. Croix Falls sits at the heart of a billion-year-old river gorge, with Interstate State Park, the Ice Age Trail’s western terminus, and the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway all starting right in town. Residents can easily explore pothole-filled basalt cliffs, paddle quiet or riffled stretches, fish cold, clean water, or hop on scenic boat tours and short hikes that showcase why this corner of Wisconsin draws visitors from across the region. 
• Salah Sarsour deportation ruling, Youth literacy programs, Longest-operating Chinese restaurant (wpr.org) — St. Croix Falls Elementary is drawing statewide attention for third-grade reading scores far above expectations, thanks to a strong phonics foundation, veteran teachers, and a heavily used school library. In a broader WPR program that also covers a controversial deportation case and other literacy initiatives, Principal Rita Platt explains how consistent community ties and daily independent reading time help local students thrive despite higher poverty levels.
