| Around central Wisconsin: Loyal, Greenwood vote against consolidation
After nearly two years of debate, the school districts of Loyal and Greenwood won't consolidate.
Greenwood voted 736 to 581 and Loyal voted 623 to 378 on Tuesday against the consolidation referendum.
"Personally, I'm a little disappointed," said Loyal Superintendent Graeme Williams. "I worked pretty hard on this the past couple years, but it's something we as a district have to move forward on."
Both districts face significant declining enrollments and will be forced to consider reductions and ways to collaborate with other school districts to maintain courses, said Williams.
Greenwood also carries a debt of $4 million that will take until 2016 to pay off, said board president Bill Herr, who has already scheduled meetings with the teachers' union to discuss how they'll maintain curriculums.

World Outfitters seeks caribou colossus
The global juggernaut of consolidation that has been rolling through steel, mining, technology and other sectors now has an unlikely new target: caribou hunting in northern Quebec. World Outfitters Corp. Safari Nordik of Blainville, Que., said Friday that it has struck a deal to buy out the largest winter outfitter for caribou hunting in Eastern Canada, Mirage Outfitter Inc., for an estimated $5.5-million in shares and debt. World Outfitters, which began trading on the TSX Venture exchange in Mid-September after raising $2-million in its initial public offering, said Mirage has a more than 50 per cent share of the winter market and generates annual revenue of about $8-million. That is almost double the $4.2-million in sales World Outfitters reported for 2006, according to its IPO prospectus.
