MADISON - Many people carry a tracking device everywhere they go, without realizing it.
Now the Wisconsin Supreme Court has sided with police in two separate cases where cellphone data was used to track suspects.
The court's rulings Thursday came in a pair of homicide cases in Milwaukee and Kenosha counties.
Police in both cases used data from the suspects' cellphone providers to find them.

MADISON - The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled against a man convicted for his role in plotting to kill his lover's husband.
The court said Thursday that Carlos Cummings did not invoke his right to remain silent when he told police during an interrogation to ``take me to my cell.''
A state appeals court last year upheld Cummings' conviction, saying his comment about wanting to be put in a cell was unclear.
The Supreme Court agreed. It also ruled that Cummings' 24-year prison sentence was not unduly harsh.

PRICE COUNTY - Vietnam War veterans didn't get the "welcome home" they deserved when coming home from the war. But now, more than 50 years after the conflict, in Price County they are receiving appreciation for their sacrifices.
The Vietnam Veterans Commemorative Trail was officially dedicated on July 17th at the VFW Post 8491 in Prentice. The idea came up at a Price County Commanders call, a meeting made up of all the post commanders and commissioners for Price County, and this monument is anything but 'little'.

ONEIDA COUNTY - Leaders in Oneida County want to know what you think of boathouses and piers on lakes in the county. The online survey they've put together could give them better information on the issues.
Planning and zoning workers say the two topics have been debated for years. The county started allowing boathouses and regulating piers in 2000.
The board looked at both topics a year ago, but didn't take any action to change current rules.

LAKE TOMAHAWK - All around you witness goodwill gestures. It could be as simple as a smile and wave or opening a door for someone. In Lake Tomahawk, it's making a pie.
"I made a pretzel crust with butter and sugar, " explains Sheila Punches. Sharon Hilgendorf adds, "Flour, for the thickening."
Snowshoe baseball's been entertaining crowds since the 1960's. But over at the concession stand, the pie takes center stage.
Strawberry rhubarb, banana butterscotch pie, blueberry pie, rocky road and coconut cream are just a few of the creations. "I like making ones that I think will appeal to the crowd," says Linda Penno.
