RHINELANDER - It's been a long road for Rhinelander senior Brianna Jorgensen. She is recovering from a torn ACL. But a bright spot for her Wednesday. She signed to play college hoops. She has decided to play college basketball for Upper Iowa University.
Jorgenson averaged 12.5 points and just over 4 rebounds per game last year for the Hodags.
Upper Iowa is a division two program. Brianna also considered D-1 club Cleveland State, UW-Stevens Point and several other D-3 teams.
But getting her tuition payed for - plus studying to get into sports medicine were among the defining factors.
EAGLE RIVER - The initiative will help to rebound what's thought of as a suffering walleye population by adding hundreds of thousands of the fish to Wisconsin lakes.
The project could improve fishing for the state's most popular game fish and tourism in the state. George Langely, a local fishing guide at Eagle Sports bait shop in Eagle River, says walleye fishing isn't what it used to be.
"The walleye population has pretty much suffered in the last twenty years and it's really nice to see Madison recognizing that and taking some steps to do something about it. It will take a while but it's a great start."
MINOCQUA - “This disease is called the great imitator for a good reason,” says Jeff Waite.
Lyme disease can be good at hiding.
“Lyme disease is a bacterial type infection spread by a spiral keet, which is also considered a parasite. And it can be carried in the spit glands and intestinal track of ticks in this area. Particularly the deer tick," said Dr. Kurt Landauer.
