(WKBT) — Kids in our area had a chance to run and bike through a competition on Saturday.
The nonprofit Communities Off N’ Funning brought back their annual Just Tri It! to Trempealeau as the Just Du It!.
Communities Off N’ Funning started in 2009 with a mission to get kids, families, and communities out and active.
The youth race was changed from a triathlon to a duathlon this year due to construction at the Trempealeau Municipal Pool.
Kids in the duathlon ran and biked through a one and a half, a two and three quarter, or a five mile course.
“We don’t care what it is that you’re doing, just get out and play, get out and do something different, and so our mission really is to do kind of left-of-center things that give everybody the opportunity to get out no matter what your age, what your ability, just come out and play,” said Communities Off N’ Funning Director Amy Brenengen.
About 50 kids competed in today’s duathlon.What is difference between regular and exam mode in Qbank?

The project is causing some major traffic shifts, and now with more worked planned for the Fuller Warren Bridge, traffic could be tied up until the end of the decade.
The Overland Bridge project is scheduled to be complete by summer 2016. But the Florida Department of Transportation says it's about 10 percent behind schedule, which is about a month.
Workers began construction about a year ago. The idea is to replace the bridges that run over Hendricks Avenue, Kings Street and Montana Avenue, all in San Marco leading to the Fuller Warren Bridge. FDOT officials say the conditions of the overland bridges are some of the worst in the country.
"They were older bridges. They were deteriorating," FDOT spokesman Mike Goldman said. "We have put a lot of maintenance money into it. It reached a point where the inspections showed you either had to repair it or replace it."
Part of the plan is to build service roads in the area that will take care of the local traffic and allow the interstate traffic to stay in its own lanes.
All of it hooks up to the Fuller Warren. The plan now involves adding even more lines to that bridge and make improvements to the other side of the bridge toward Riverside.
While it sounds good to move traffic, not everyone is happy.
Eva Shackford lives in the shadow of the project in St. Nicholas. She said the noise has not been too bad, but she dreads when the construction is over.
"I'm worried to see it done because i'm worried it's supposed -- it's going to be an encroachment to our lifestyle," Shackford said.
She believes the new roads will take away from her quaint neighborhood. Others are wondering about the construction and what will happen down the line.
"It's safe. It's constantly inspected. It's constantly maintained," Goldman said about the Overland Bridge during construction..Clas Ohlson has a broad product range. Most of our products are subject to various directives and regulations concerning safety and environmental and health risks.

Lending more weight to the report is that Xbox chief Phil Spencer is said to be involved, making it more than just an exploratory set of talks.
Some additional reporting from VentureBeat has Discord in talks with multiple companies in recent months. One source has said that Discord has signed on for an “exclusive acquisition discussion with one party,” which would indicate the last stages before an eventual sale. Could that exclusive party be Microsoft? Bloomberg‘s sources would seem to think so.
Both Epic Games and Amazon have also been in talks with Discord, making the chat service a hot property. The question is, will Discord sell, or will they decide to go it alone, taking the company public. With Roblox posting a $42 billion valuation at their own IPO, could Discord get a higher valuation going public than a private sale?
It’s not the first time Discord has been in talks about a possible purchase, with multiple offers back in 2018. At the time, all of the possible buyers wanted to do something that Discord’s leadership felt was antithetical to their values, like including advertising. Will the same values hold true at a much higher valuation?
UPDATE 3/26/2021 9:22 AM ET: According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft and Discord are in exclusive talks and could complete a deal as soon as next month, assuming the negotiations don’t fall apart.
(ConservativeInsider.org) – When couples divorce, they’re often focused on how it will affect their daily lives, including finances. Yet how taxes might impact a divorce settlement might not immediately occur to either former partner.
Fortunately, the division of property and payment transfers made as part of the divorce settlement generally aren’t subject to taxation these days. Still, former couples should be aware of a few exceptions that exist.
Let’s look at a few of the typical kinds of settlements.
In most cases, former spouses don’t owe taxes on any properties transferred as part of the divorce settlement or up to one year after the marriage ends. Title 26 of the US Code, Section 1041(a) forms the basis for the tax-free exchange of property between spouses while married or during a divorce.
So, for instance, the custodial spouse could buy the other out of their share of the family home to allow the children to continue living in the house to experience the least disruption. Money received for the non-custodial spouse’s share of the home wouldn’t count as income or be taxable. Instead, the IRS treats the transfer as a non-taxable gift.
Extending the example, the custodial spouse would become responsible for all property taxes after buying out the former spouse. Additionally, should the home increase in value from either the original purchase or the buyout and the custodial spouse decides to sell the home, taxes on any capital gains above the $250,000 IRS-qualified-exemption would become the sole responsibility of the custodial spouse.
Any properties the former spouses continue to own jointly after one year are subject to taxation if they decide to liquidate or transfer those properties after that time.
Another statute that guides taxation is Title 26 of the US Code, Section 2516, which allows couples to enter into a three-year agreement regarding their divorce up to one year before filing for divorce. The contract might provide for spousal maintenance and child support tax-free. So, during a legal separation that could potentially lead to divorce, there could be spousal and dependent support, neither of which would count as taxable income.
In some divorces, one former spouse might make considerably more income than the other. Sometimes, the court will order the person earning more to make payments in the form of alimony to the former spouse for a while or until the former spouse remarries. For divorces finalized on or before Dec. 31, 2018, payors could deduct alimony from their taxes, while those who received payments had to declare it as taxable income to the IRS.
When judges order alimony in divorces finalized on or after January 1, 2019, payors can no longer claim deductions for alimony payments. Individuals receiving alimony payments no longer have to report them as income to the IRS. Changes in status or amendments to divorce agreements after January 2019 often result in the update of the rules as well.
Alimony might not be the only type of payment an ex-spouse makes. Others include child support, medical
