Hello. We appreciate your time and are glad you are here to start your day. After a week that can sometimes feel long, stressful, or exhausting we like to take a lighter approach on Saturday mornings and start with a little “scroll down memory lane.” It’s just time a chance to take a look back at moments that happened on this date in history before we head out to create new history today. So, grab your favorite sippin’ drink and

It’s time to fall back.  Daylight Saving Time ends, officially at 2 a.m. Sunday, meaning you should set your clocks back one hour before going to bed tonight.  Wisconsin will be on Central Standard Time until next March, when Daylight Saving Time will return.

A conservative public interest law firm is suing the Wisconsin Election Commission over alleged “mishandling” of military absentee ballots.  The Thomas More Society filed suit on Friday in Waukesha County Circuit Court.  The group wants the court to issue a temporary restraining order and temporary injunction, ordering election officials to set aside all military absentee or mail-in ballots prior to Tuesday’s election.  The lawsuit argues the injunction is needed to verify that the military ballots are “authentic and not fraudulent.”  The Election

Strains of bird flu have turned up in backyard flocks in Marathon and Waukesha counties.  The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection says birds with avian influenza were found in both counties.  The department has depopulated the birds in both locations to keep the disease from spreading.  Bird flu has been confirmed in 18 Wisconsin counties so far this year in domestic birds.  Poultry owners are asked to keep their birds indoors, if possible.

A Madison man will spend three-and-a-half years in federal prison after being found guilty of stealing from stores in other states.  The man was indicted over two years ago, accused of stealing from stores in seven states and Wisconsin back in 2019.  He was convicted of stealing over five-thousand dollars worth of items after a four-day trial that ended this week.

On the other side of halloween we are no longer planning the costumes or sharing scary tales, but for this week’s Friday Feel Good we have quite a TAIL to tell, and it involves making a splash with mermaids.  We dive into the waters off Califorina  as scuba diver Javier Claramunt was diving off the coast of Catalina Island in California and lost consciousness.   To his good fortune, a group of women dressed up as mermaids rescued him.  Apparently the “mermaids” were

One Dane County’s more infamous murder cases will be on national television this weekend. CBS’ 48 Hours will run an episode on the Halderson murders. Chandler Halderson was convicted early this year for the 2021 murders of his parents. Pieces of their bodies were found at the family’s cabin. He’s now serving a life sentence. The 48 Hours episode features interviews with people involved in the case, including a local TV reporter. You can watch the Halderson episode tomorrow night.

It was a thank you dance for the Dancing Grannies. Milwaukee’s group of grandmas performed for the doctors and nurses at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center yesterday. That was the hospital that treated members of the Dancing Grannies after they were hurt in last year’s attack at the Waukesha Christmas Parade. One of the grannies, Betty Streng, was seriously hurt. She says the team at St. Luke’s saved her life.

We have some more answers about last winter’s drowning death of a UW-La Crosse student who was missing for weeks. The medical examiner in La Crosse yesterday said 25-year-old Hamud Faal had a very high level of alcohol in his system when he drowned in the Mississippi River back in February. Fall, who graduated from Sun Prairie High School, was missing until firefighters found his body in the Mississippi River in March.

The DNR is reminding hunters about safety ahead of this month’s deer season. Gun season opens in Wisconsin on November 19th. The DNR yesterday said hunters need to check their gear, and make sure everything is working and is safe. There is a focus again this year on harness safety. The state is also reminding hunters about new baiting regulations.
