We are going back beyond the cheese.

We haven't done that for a while.

This is the segment where we like to highlight industries in Wisconsin that are not necessarily

related to the dairy industry, which is one of the things that we are best known for.

But very much looking forward to talking to Steven Eruzano is going to be joining us from

Wisconsin-Nitware.

It's a little network company in Milwaukee, been there for ages, been there for ages and

ages, and so he's actually going to come in studio and talk about Wisconsin-Nitware and

how it all got started this started as I believe his grandfather's company.

Oh wow.

There's a great story behind it.

If you ever have a beyond the cheese, you think would be great for us to highlight.

And again, this can be any industry in Wisconsin that is not involved in the dairy industry.

Send us an email or to Jane says J-A-N-E-S-A-Y-S.

Jane says at civicmedia.usb on the cheese coming back on Monday, January 6th.

It's 1153, Calvin right now.

That means it's time for this shouldn't be a thing.

Tell this headline yesterday from Fox six Milwaukee headline reads this is from the Fox

news digital team headline reads whitefish Bay sinkhole driver ignores road closure sign

roadway collapses.

There are photos.

Oh, the photos are oh, you should see the photos.

The photos will be in there, they're in there a vehicle fell into a sinkhole in white

fish Bay on Christmas day.

Police say the road was closed at the time of the incident shortly before 11 a.m.

There was a water main break crews put up a road closed sign while they were working

on the issue because the road was unstable, but that did not stop this guy.

A motorist drove around the road closed signs and the subsequent weight of the vehicle

caused the road to partially collapse sucking up his rear, his right front tire and the

right front bumper.

The whole continued to expand and the vehicle settled a little more into the hole, getting

a little comfy there.

Those sinkholes can go really deep.

This guy's really lucky this guy's very lucky.

I am.

Look, I'm not going to cast aspersions or cast cast or make a generalization, but trying

to find out what make this car is because okay, because you know, in a in a in a world

like I lived there.

I lived in white fish Bay for a few years.

Sometimes people just as scientists have to do with me right.

I got the road closed, not me, they don't mean me.

My Lexus has to take me places.

My luxury car has delivered me to my abode.

The vehicle that's got stuck in the sinkhole after ignoring the rose, the road closed signs

did have to be winched out by a tow company.

This stands out to me because my husband works for a municipality where they are currently

replacing lead lines.

Two weeks ago, two weeks ago, my husband came home from work.

Yeah.

And said, you're not going to believe what happened.

They had just closed up the hole because they were replacing lead lines.

And there was fresh concrete poured and in a in a pretty large section, okay, a pretty

large section.

It's all taped off.

There's orange barrels everywhere.

Do not cross.

Do not come here.

Four vehicles drove into the freshly poured concrete for over the span of like three

hours.

That's when you just need to put up those like concrete dividers in front of that stuff.

So people can't even get through period.

I think you just leave them there.

I mean, the picture of the car is looney tunes.

Ask it's not like it's it almost should come with a sound effect and goes, boy, it's

just so dumb, so, so dumb.

You know, if it says road closed, yeah, and it says do not cross or danger, that does

apply to you.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but it does mean to.

And now I mean, this, this, this looks like this looks like a solid 5,000 if not more

dollars in damage.

Definitely.

They probably screwed up the suspension, the suspension, the balance of the tires, the

front end.

I mean, everything is just ruined and it almost, it almost looks like it was Photoshopped

into the hole.

It really does.

We'll put this in the show notes.

edition of this shouldn't be a thing.
