Urban turkeys won't fly the coop
Having made a dramatic comeback since the 1970s, Wisconsin's wild turkey population is now thriving in all 72 counties - including in metropolitan Milwaukee.
And the big birds are no longer confining themselves to a distant fairway, or the far end of a soccer field, far from human interaction.
These days, they're roosting on the roofs of homes. They've tried muscling their way onto a schoolyard in Glendale. And they consider busy thoroughfares perfectly logical places to strut their stuff. »Read Full Article(10)
Citing ride volume, LogistiCare terminates contract with state
LogistiCare, Wisconsin's problem-plagued medical transportation provider for Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus patients, has terminated its contract with the state starting in February, officials announced Wednesday.
In a letter to state officials, LogistiCare's chief executive officer said the company was losing money under its contract. He said patients in the greater Milwaukee area needed twice as many rides as the company had projected, which made it a lot more expensive to provide services than company officials had anticipated in their contract bid. He also said the state had dragged its feet on implementing policy changes that would exclude ineligible patients, such as some veterans and children, from getting rides.
The announcement came after months of investigation by the Journal Sentinel documented patients experienced late and no-show rides, long hold times on reservation and complaint lines, and a number of other issues. A Waupaca County man with cancer and diabetes died after he experienced problems getting rides with LogistiCare and gave up on making it to his medical appointments. »Read Full Article(72)

The National Labor Relations Board on Wednesday notified both sides in the 5-month-old Palermo's strike that it had found that the company acted lawfully when it terminated 75 workers as part of an immigration audit and did not use the audit as retaliation for the workers' efforts to form a union.

'Miss Good Morning' was world-class waitress
The year was 1955 and she was a waitress working the morning shift at the Hotel Antlers coffee shop in Milwaukee. She was good at it - so good, in fact, that one of her many regular customers wrote a book of poems and songs about her, "Mary Ellen, Mary Ellen."
Her boss knew she was good, too. That's why she entered Mary Ellen Root into the Kellogg's "Miss Good Morning" contest. When it was over, Mary Ellen Root and her bright smile beat out 50,000 other contenders for the "Miss Good Morning" crown.
"You see, a man's breakfast is important to him. If it's cooked right and served right, his whole day is set," she told the Milwaukee Sentinel. »Read Full Article

An artist on the canvas and in the kitchen
It was a late winter afternoon and art teacher Carol Rowan called out to her friend, Shirley Conlon, the librarian at Irving School in West Allis. Conlon was on her way to the office, but Rowan asked her to step into her art room. She had to show her something.
It was a pumpkin, a very old pumpkin. It had been sitting around since the fall. Now it was shriveling and collapsing on itself. It displayed an alarming array of colors.
"I would have called it a rotten pumpkin," said Conlon. "It was moldy and decaying. It was blues and greens and grays." »Read Full Article

Wirch snags budget committee slot after leadership vote
Madison -- A Democratic senator said to have changed his vote for his party's leader snagged a coveted appointment Wednesday on the Legislature's powerful budget committee.
Sen. Bob Wirch (D-Somers) and Sen. Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse) were chosen to serve on the Joint Finance Committee by incoming Senate Minority Leader Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee). Earlier this month, Larson beat his Democratic colleague Jon Erpenbach of Middleton in a race for minority leader.
After the vote, Erpenbach's backers concluded Sen. Bob Wirch (D-Pleasant Prairie) had voted for Larson after saying he would vote for Erpenbach. One of them had noticed Wirch had folded his ballot multiple times and was able to tell which ballot was cast by Wirch after the fact.
Justin Sargent, Larson's chief of staff, said that the Milwaukee Democrat hadn't considered the recent leadership vote in deciding on the committee appointments. Shilling, who had run for assistant minority leader and lost to Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay), was seen as being aligned with Erpenbach. (6)
State delays giving northeastern Wisconsin a new area code
Madison - State regulators have again delayed implementing a new area code for northeastern Wisconsin.
The Public Service Commission in 2008 decided to give new telephone customers in the 920 area code a 274 prefix to ensure an adequate supply of numbers for the region.
The PSC had expected to implement the 274 number in 2011 but has held off. The commission says the economic slowdown has curtailed number growth and the agency has reduced new numbers it hands providers, extending the longevity of the 920 prefix.
The PSC now says the 920 numbers won't be exhausted until 2017. (1)

Menomonee Falls - The village of Menomonee Falls has every intention of working to keep the Radisson Hotel open, with trustees supporting a new petition that would expand the power of the receiver currently in charge of hotel operations.

Some Whitefish Bay property owners might have to foot hefty lateral repair bills
Whitefish Bay - Televising inspections of private laterals connected to sanitary sewer basin 1203 have been completed as scheduled, and the village will soon be contacting property owners regarding recommended repairs.

Forecast: Dense fog advisory in effect until noon today
A dense fog advisory remains in effect for southeastern Wisconsin and much of the upper Midwest until noon Wednesday, making travel on one of the busiest travel days of the year much more difficult.
Once the fog dissipates, an abundance of sunshine and winds from the southwest will drive temperatures into the upper 50s in the Milwaukee area, according to WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) meteorologist Scott Steele.
Thanksgiving Day should start out with plenty of sunshine, but clouds will gradually move in, leading to a chance of a few showers late in the day and into the evening, Steele says, with a high temperature near 60. Temperatures are expected to drop drastically overnight Thursday, with Friday's high temperature barely reaching the mid-30s.

Brilliant dance schoolBy Maria Georgiou on 4/03/2014 7:17:59 PM
My son has been attending DZP for the past 3 years and I have only positive things to say. It's a supportive and nurturing environment allowing kids to express themselves through dance. Kate is just fabulous from teaching to managing DZP which is done in such a professional manner. I would highly recommend DZP to any parent whose child has an interest in dance.

Eastern Europe Explorer
An extraordinary voyage awaits the traveler who wishes to venture off the beaten path in Eastern Europe.
Experience the mystery and beauty of Eastern Europe as you sail through five fascinating nations—Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria—linked by the majestic Danube. Gaze in wonder at the great stone cliffs rising out of the Danube, where ancient Roman ruins still cling to steep banks. Sail through the legendary Iron Gates; meet the people of Osijek in an intimate setting; and see exciting Budapest, booming Belgrade, and eye-opening Bucharest on a cruise that combines ample leisure sailing and intriguing ports of call.
Explore the stone-hewn monastery of Basarbovo, the eerie rock formations of Belogradchik, and the ornately decorated 17th-century churches of Arbanassi. Bustling capital cities also await you: the "Queen of the Danube," Budapest, offers splendid historic architecture and matchless views; lively Belgrade draws visitors from all over Eastern Europe; and Bucharest offers an eclectic mix of French-influenced architecture and monumental Communist buildings. This cruise gives you the exciting opportunity to experience the best that the revitalized nations of Eastern Europe have to offer. Ravishing river scenery, friendly people, and a plethora of cultural delights are yours to discover on this exhilarating and enlightening voyage.

@ 10, Ashley Greene wore that shirt a few months ago. Are they dating too? Heaven forbid she owns her own beanie. 'Robsten' is just PR. They are finally being up front about it now.

Kristen flipping off the cameras does not help to get them away. Come on, get real. I dont mean to rag on her but still. At least she looks like she is having fun.

You go girl!!! Tell those photogs like it is. It's a damn shame that you can't even smoke in privacy. Kristen Stewart is young and rebellious and she should stay that way. I was once like her, now I'm 47 yrs old and I have NEVER changed. If don't like things around you, just tell them to F**K OFF! Being blunt and honest won't hurt a thing. Being herself is best way to go. Kristen keep making movies. You and all the cast of Twilight are the best I've seen in a long time. I've seen almost all your movies. You are wonderful. If you and Rob are together, its a beautiful thing. I just wish I was so lucky to have a guy that is awesome as he is. Go for the gusto!

i am skeptical of the whole robsten thing but i think she is wearing his beanie, they do like to share clothes and accesories from what i have seen, maybe they are momentos to be with one another when they can't physically be. who cares if she flips them off that's her personality, if she didnt have the popz following her then she would have no career. :)

Dear Kristen keep doing what your doing, flipping off the papa... awesome!!! no need to change you fabulous personality, or tolerate such privacy invasions...if you are dating Rob I wish you both the best, the thing that I like about you Rob, Taylor and the remaining cast is that you are all real and none of you have let your stardom go to your head...its a shame that papa... invade peoples space as they do. GOD BLESS and keep on keeping on!!!

To #3. Rob cannot join Taylor and Kristen because he has work obligations. Scummit thank GOD cannot control all the parts of their lives. As far as Taylor being around Kristen....please stop blaming Taylor he is just doing his job. Not to mention they are really good friends....and if you care so damn much about Kristen, you will notice she seems to be less guarded and smiles more when she is hanging out with her FRIEND "Taylor". I'm so tired of you Robsten blaming Taylor when those 2 (Rob and Kristen) are not photographed together. It is not his fault so please leave Taylor alone. I had hoped that Rob and Taylor professionalism would have rubbed off on Kristen at some point...but, judging from the pictures above Kristen has a long way to go...flipping off the paz just made things worst for her. She will continued to be stalked and hound to get a similar reaction out of her.

taylor,family has to be so thrilled with kristen flipping every one off,not good for his nice boy image,she is representing the u.s.do not respect her at all,i know that doesnt matter to her,but it does to us.

It is so disgust to see summit to arrange these promoting tour that summit would not allow funs as same as for rob & kristen. Kristen you should wake up and get out the dirt playing if you are truly to love robert, otherwise don't play game with summit to fool most of fans. By the way, taylor you does not think we will like you as you are spent most time around with kristen, Most of fan are for the love of robert so as to love kristen.

I like Kristen, but I think she needs to control her emotions better. Flipping off the camera doesn't help her get rid of them, just gives them more of a reason to follow her, I think.
