Next week marks a changing of the Lake County guard of sorts.
After five years of dedicated service, Peg Portscheller is departing as the superintendent of the Lake County School District Monday. The lady herself had to smile at this comment, probably because she recognized the truth in it. No Lake County citizen has suffered as much public criticism, as much on the job strife and as many challenges as Portscheller has in the past five years. However, no one could have met the challenges with as much energy, risen above the strife and endured the criticism as Portscheller did either. Much of the criticism was reported by this newspaper.
