OSHKOSH - About 130 members of the Wisconsin Army National Guard are coming home.
They landed in the U.S. early last week, but they've been de-mobilizing at a camp in Mississippi. This afternoon they'll be welcomed back to Wisconsin at a celebration in Oshkosh.
Most of the troops are part of the Oshkosh-based 157th Transportation Company. They spent almost 10 months in Afghanistan on convoy-escort missions.
Gov. Scott Walker and senior Wisconsin Army National Guard leaders will be among the family welcoming the troops home. Community members are also invited to attend.
That event will be at the Experimental Aircraft Association in Oshkosh.
STATEWIDE - Camping in the Northwoods just got a little more high-tech, thanks to a new website and iPhone app. You can download the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest app on your iPhone.
The app lets you see what campsites are available, and reserve your spot online. It also gives information about trails and other activities in the area.
In the “old days” travelers could always call ahead about site availability, but by the time out of town visitors arrive, they might be full.
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.
