It’s time that we say a hearty “Bravo!!” to our own Murph. He was recently honored by the Wisconsin Broadcasting Association and you can read more about the man, the

The Eau Claire woman accused in a Dunn County home invasion is headed for trial. A judge yesterday said there is enough evidence against 21-year-old Megan Dehate to take the case forward. She’s accused of forcing her way into a home in the Town of Dunn last week. The sheriff says she hit the man who lives there in the head with a chunk of metal.
