• Water ski clinic brings adaptive sports to everyone in central Wisconsin (wsaw.com) — Residents in Rome saw Lake Arrowhead come alive this week as the Shermalot Water Ski Show Team hosted its first adaptive water ski clinic, welcoming participants with disabilities from across Wisconsin. Using specialized seated skis and extra support, organizers proved water skiing can be accessible to nearly anyone and say the strong response could bring at least one more clinic to Rome later this summer.
