Outside Madison’s Wingra School on a sunny fall afternoon, Ho-Chunk artist and horticulturist Lightning New Rider was busy measuring canvas and preparing twine.

He was there to help the students refurbish the school’s ciiporoke, a Ho-Chunk structure made with bent tree saplings tied together to make a frame and often covered with natural materials like birch tree bark or woven mats — or, in this case, canvas.

Bonduel Fire Chief Kevin Lynch doesn’t like it when people use their phones while driving — and he really doesn’t like it when they record a live accident scene when they’re behind the wheel.

Lynch followed up on a Facebook post of a Nov. 26 accident with some strong words for the driver.
