Students at Knappa have increas-

items for the annual Knappa Schools
Foundation Dinner and Auction, which
provides students in the rural district
with scholarships and small grants for
teachers to supplement sparse state
funding.
The auction, the 19th installment of
which happens Saturday, raised more
than $80,000 last year. The founda-
tion gave out tens of scholarships and
funded more than $55,000 in grants
and curriculum.

welded springs onto the thick steel
chassis of the trailer, and a front tongue
on which to hook the couplers.
“It truly is a class project,” said
Kamppi, adding just about every stu-
dent in his welding classes has helped
on some part of the trailer, which will
be able to haul 1 ton.

to see Baker Bay from their front yards. Instead,
their view is dominated by another body of
water — the vast mud-puddle that surrounds the
tarp-covered campers in Mauch’s Sundown RV
park.
Lloyd and Gary Mauro, who both live behind
the park, say both the county and Mauch’s owner,
Weldon Pior, have allowed code violations and
other problems to persist for years. Fed up with
the lack of progress, Lloyd in December started
