WAUSAU - The preliminary hearing for one of the suspects accused of beating a Wausau man to death was postponed.
Eighteen-year-old Zachary Froehlich has just now gotten an attorney. He faces seven felonies for the brutal beating death of Kerby Kneiss.
Kneiss was found dead in his garage last month with severe skull fractures.
"There are time limits for a preliminary hearing. Mr. Froehlich is legally entitled to have his preliminary hearing within ten days because he's on a cash bond. Today what occurred was the defense attorney indicated he'd like to waive the time limits to have the hearing rescheduled to allow him more time to prepare," says Lance Leonhard, Assistant District Attorney for Marathon County.
Froehlich and Warren Krohn are charged with 1st degree reckless homicide and armed robbery.
The court will re-visit scheduling Froehlich's preliminary hearing July 11th.
Antigo looks to Langlade Hospital to take over ambulance service
Submitted: 06/18/2013
ANTIGO - The city of Antigo doesn't want to run an ambulance service anymore. It's just too expensive. Instead, the city's new hospital may take over.
"We have a great ambulance service now and that's our biggest concern here is being able to maintain that... As with a lot of people our problem is financial," said City of Antigo’s Mayor, Bill Brandt.
Each year it costs around 2 million dollars to run the ambulance service for Antigo and 10 surrounding townships.
About half of that is paid by the city and county through taxes... The other half is paid by the user fees.
Republicans want to limit access to proposed mine site

MADISON - Wisconsin Republicans are looking to curtail public access to an iron mine site in far northwestern Wisconsin in hopes of stopping protesters from interfering with the project.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, a Juneau Republican, acknowledged the discussions on Monday.
WAUSAU - Last June, Kerby Kneiss died after he was beaten to death with a baseball bat.
Prosecutors think Warren Krohn was one of the men who killed Kneiss.
But Krohn's lawyer argues police might not have collected the evidence against him legally.
Krohn's lawyer argued that what he said while police interrogated him shouldn't be used in court. They say he was in police custody - but was not informed of his Miranda Rights.
ST. GERMAIN - Doctors don't know why they're diagnosing more and more children with autism. It’s hard to know what therapy works best for each child.
Today at Camp AweSum in St. Germain, kids on the Autism Spectrum got a chance to interact with horses.
"I saw him smiling up there, just kind of spontaneously. I think the horse kinda shook and he thought that was kinda funny," said Becky Howell-Adams, the mother of a 9 year old with autism.
For some autistic children smiles are hard to come by. Making a connection like that people or animals is special.
