EAGLE RIVER - A judge wants more information before he decides on a punishment for a former Northland Pines Middle School teacher who had child pornography on his work computer.
Michael Wang, 47, pleaded guilty Monday to two felony counts.
He had been charged with ten counts, but reached an agreement with the state to drop eight of them.
The prosecuting and defense attorneys hadn't come to an agreement on sentencing, so the judge ordered a pre-sentencing investigation.
Wang was first arrested in May 2011 when investigators found pictures, videos and chatroom conversations on his computer.
He will be back in court January 2nd for his sentencing, and faces up to 50 years in prison and $200,000 in fines.
MINOCQUA - These plants may look pretty but they're taking over our rivers and lakes. Michele Sadauskas is Oneida County's Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator. She is working to map and control the yellow iris, the plant you see here. She and two other conservation workers spent the day weeding Stacks Bay.
"They invade our wetlands. They're a really robust, aggressive plant. What they do is they crowd out our native species and make actually the wetland a lot less diverse," says Michele Sadauskas, Oneida County AIS Coordinator.
Removing yellow iris is a slow process. It takes three hours of work just to properly map and control 20 feet of shoreline.
MERRILL - Farmers in Lincoln and Langlade Counties may need to make a longer drive or call a different office for USDA services.
