There’s a request to be turtle-aware in Wisconsin. The state’s Department of Natural Resources yesterday said turtles are looking to lay their eggs over the next couple of weeks. That means more turtles will be out on the roads, especially near wetlands. DNR says Wood turtles and Blanding’s turtles are especially vulnerable right now. The state wants you to report any turtle crossings you see, so they can better track turtles in the state.

Memorial Day weekend is upon us. As we take time to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice we will take a peek at this Memorial Day around the country, a day which is better described as a commemoration than a celebration.  This is the day the nation honors military members who died in service to the country.  Its origins can be traced to local observances for soldiers whose gravesites were neglected during the Civil War.  It was originally called

The University of Wisconsin Eau Claire is once again the best men’s track and field team in the country. The Blugolds won the NCAA Division Three Outdoor Track title on Saturday. The win comes after the team won the indoor title back in March. It’s the first time the men’s team has won both titles in the same year.

We’re expecting a ruling on ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin this week. A judge in Madison has a hearing scheduled for the case from the Thomas More Society that is challenging the use of drop boxes in the 2020 election. Lawyers say the drop boxes are not allowed under state law, and say Madison’s use of them breaks the law. The judge questioned that argument earlier this month, saying Wisconsin’s Election Commission told local election clerks that the drop boxes were allowed in

Drivers in Wisconsin are paying record-high prices for gas on this Memorial Day. Triple-A says the average price for a gallon of regular in the state is four-dollars and 41-cents per-gallon. That’s four cents higher than yesterday, and a dime more expensive than it was last week. Triple-A says the average price for a gallon of premium is five-dollars-and-16-cents and the average price for a gallon of diesel is five-oh-seven. Gas prices in Eau Claire are high, but below the state average.

There’s a reminder about boater safety this Memorial Day weekend. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking people to be safe and responsible while out on the water. Memorial Day Weekend is one of the busiest for boaters in the state, and brings-out people who don’t boat often. DNR says make sure everyone has a life jacket, and make sure the boat’s driver stays sober.

Milwaukee’s mayor says the six-million-dollar demand from the city’s common council to host the RNC is a ‘poison pill’ and a ‘non-starter’ with him. The city council last week delayed a vote on the agreement that could land Milwaukee the Republican National Convention in 2024 and demanded that the city get something in return for hosting the convention. Mayor Cavalier Johnson says that demand cannot happen, and said it looks to be designed to kill the city’s chances of hosting
