There are attempted homicide charges for a man in Sparta who was out on bond for another attack from back in June. Prosecutors filed charges yesterday against 39-year-old Andrew Nauman. Police say he attacked a woman on Sunday. She was found in the street, and flown to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Prosecutors say Nauman was on bond from an attack in June where police say he strangled another person. He’s now being held on a million-dollars cash bond.

Eau Claire Police say an erratic visitor at North High School yesterday prompted a security hold. No one is saying who the visitor was, or just what they did. Officers say they were called to the school’s office and arrested the visitor. North sent a note home to parents yesterday about the visitor, but that note didn’t have any specifics in it either.

The Haas Fine Arts Center is getting millions from the state for a rehab. UW-Eau Claire yesterday announced the state is sending five-and-a-half million-dollars to renovate the building. The focus will be on the third and fourth floors at the Haas Center, and most of the work will be done to expand storage and ventilation.  The university says the plan is to start work next summer, and hopefully wrap-up sometime during the fall semester next year.

The latest poll shows Wisconsin going to Trump. A new Quinnipiac University Poll gives former President Trump a two-point lead in the state, 48-46. That’s the opposite of the latest Marquette Law School Poll that showed Vice President Kamala Harris up by four points in Wisconsin. Pollsters say third party candidates get about one percent of the vote in Wisconsin. The Quinnipiac poll has a margin of error of three percent, so the race for the White House is technically

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is trying to figure out if there are any limits to the governor’s veto powers. The liberal-majority court yesterday heard arguments over Governor Tony Evers’ 400-year school funding veto. That’s where the governor erased a few numbers from the last state budget and turned a two-year school funding bump into a 400-year increase. The governor’s lawyer said Wisconsin’s ban on changing letters to create new budgets only applies to letters, not numbers. The justices, however, questioned

The DNR Board will meet next week to vote on new rules for deer hunting, and new standards for PFAS contamination in the state’s water supplies. Both have been major issues for the DNR for years. The water standards are expected to update the new rules, and set lower limits for how many of the so-called forever chemicals can be considered safe in the drinking water across

Count this is a benefit of the new alcohol sales at Camp Randall Stadium. UW-Madison Police say alcohol-related arrests at Badger football games are down. The university’s police department yesterday said alcohol related arrests at Wisconsin home games are down about 30 percent from last year. Through the first four home games this year, UW-Madison Police say they’ve made 90 arrests. That number was above 130 last year at this point. The university started selling beer and seltzer at Camp

Today is the day to score some discount beer and stick-it to a former Brewer. The Broken Bat Brewery is offering dollar-99 pints today as an insult to Jesse Winker. Winker said he hated Milwaukee after a disastrous playoff appearance for the Brewers last year. Broken Bat is offering the dollar-99 pints to highlight Winker’s .199 batting average last year. While Brewer fans are getting a great deal on beer, Winker may get the last laugh. He’s playing for the
