U.S. women’s hockey goalie and Wisconsin-native Alex Cavallini records a shutout at the Olympics.  Cavallini helped the U.S. to an eight-to-nothing win over Switzerland over the weekend, making 12 saves.  This was the Delafield-native’s first Olympic start.  Next up the U.S. plays Canada at ten o’clock tonight.

 It was domestic violence.  Police in Brown Deer say the weekend shooting and standoff that left three people dead and another person wounded started as domestic violence.  Brown Deer Police Chief Peter Nimmer says it looks like one of the people killed and the person who was wounded were trying to “help” the situation.  The chief says the suspected gunman, a 26-year-old man, is believed to have killed himself.  There was a two-year-old in the home at the time of

It is now against the law in Wisconsin to destroy vaccine doses. Governor Evers on Friday signed a law that bans the ‘intentional destruction’ of vaccine doses, and makes it a felony. The law came about after a Milwaukee-area pharmacist left hundreds of doses of the coronavirus vaccine out to spoil back in December of 2020. Local prosecutors originally had to file misdemeanor attempted destruction of property charges because Wisconsin law was silent about vaccine destruction. Federal prosecutors stepped-in and charged the pharmacist with

School leaders in Tomah are walking away from a school referendum that looks doomed to fail. The city’s school district last week said it is pausing plans to ask voters for up to 96 million-dollars for new schools because it doesn’t look like the plan would pass. No word on the next steps for new buildings and upgrades.

Younger teens in Wisconsin are not going to be able to work later on nights when they don’t have school. Governor Evers on Friday vetoed the plan which would have allowed teens under 16 to work as late as 11 p.m. The governor says he doesn’t want to create two separate systems of work requirements. Currently, 14 and 15-year-olds can only work until 7 p.m. during the school year and 9:30 during the summer.

Dane County is on-track to become Wisconsin’s largest Amazon hub. The company last week announced plans to build a 200 million-dollar distribution center in Cottage Grove. The new hub will be almost three-and-a-half million square feet, and should employ 15 hundred people. The plan is to start construction sometime this year. The Cottage Grove center would be Wisconsin’s fourth Amazon distribution center.

The new week will bring a new look at just how many people are in the hospital with the coronavirus in the state.  The Wisconsin Hospital Association on Friday said just over 13 hundred people are hospitalized with the virus.  That’s down nearly 400 people from the week before.  ICU numbers are down below 300.  We’ll get a new report later this afternoon.

Pharmacies across Wisconsin say people are not getting the new coronavirus treatment pills. Wisconsin has received more than 25 thousand courses of the two pills designed to treat the coronavirus, but pharmacists say they’ve only filled a few prescriptions. No one knows why the pills are not being used, though some pharmacists say there is confusion among doctors as to who should get the pills. And there may be confusion among sick people as to where to get the pills.

Kohl’s says the two offers to buy the company are too low.  The company on Friday said the offers from two investment firms does not “adequately reflect the company’s value.”  Both offers are for about nine billion-dollars.  Kohl’s is not saying just how much it thinks the company’s value is.  The company’s board has said it will listen to offers that reflect the value that Kohl’s has going forward.

We are going to have to wait for the final word on ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.  The state’s Supreme Court on Friday rejected a lawsuit from Rebecca Kleefisch that asked for a decision on whether voters can drop-off their ballots in one of the boxes.  Kleefisch is, of course, running for governor.  The split decision means Wisconsin will have to wait until after this month’s primary for the court to decide drop boxes can be used going forward.  Conservative justices on the
