STEVENS POINT - A Plainfield man charged with his 11th OWI has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
A judge this week ordered a doctor's examination for 51-year-old Mark Schulke. The court will review the doctor's report February 18.
Portage County prosecutor Cass Cousins says he's never seen someone use an insanity plea for an OWI case before. He also says it's rare for someone to be charged with an 11th offense of the charge.
The criminal complaint says Schulke's first conviction for driving while intoxicated was in 1993. His last conviction was in 2004.
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."
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.
