Washburn County says its phone and email systems are back up following a cyber incident that began August 6th.
County Board Chair Lolita Olson provided an update Friday, saying the incident is still under investigation and the county is still working to determine what happened and how widespread it was.
According to a press release, the county shut down its technology systems after the incident was discovered so staff and outside specialists could assess the situation.
That disrupted some county services that rely on
Internet access or county phone lines.
As of Friday, phone and email systems had been restored, while the county continued working to safely bring other programs and services back online.
The county says if the investigation finds that any personal information was affected, they will contact those people directly and provide more information.
Hayward's annual Jacob Sheehan Walk vs. ALS returns this Saturday for its 11th year.
The walk starts at 9 a.m.
at 1st Lutheran Church, with registration beginning
at 8.30 and there will also be a breakfast afterward.
The Hayward event has raised more than $550,000 since it began, with the money going to the ALS Association for Research Advocacy and Care Services.
Some of that support is also reaching people here in the Northwoods.
Organizers say six people recently received voice banking equipment, which allows them to record their voice for use if ALS makes speaking difficult or impossible.
Another 15 pieces of medical equipment, including
Real chairs and shower chairs have also been provided to people in the area at no cost.
Saturday's walk is open to the public.
For more information, visit the Jekyll Sheehan Walk vs ALS on the ALS Association website.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley visited Eau Claire on Friday as part of a statewide unity tour following Tuesday's primary election.
Here's Civic Media's James Kelly.
Crowley emerged victorious in the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor last week, narrowly defeating state representative Francesca Hong.
Following the event, he shared his thoughts on the victory just weeks after deciding to exit and then re-enter the race.
Well, if you believe it, it can happen.
I think that you want to manifest as much as possible, but we didn't know what we're getting ourselves into when we decided to
get
back into this race.
pretty much do a three, three week, three and a half week sprint.
But as we began to travel all across the state, we've seen the momentum, we've seen the enthusiasm.
And so yes, this was a nail body, but for us to get over the hump and win this primary election, I think this is good for our state.
Crowley also shared his views on data center developments, an issue that will be at the forefront of the gubernatorial race.
He says local communities should have the power to make the final decision on whether to allow one of the facilities to be built in their area, with measures in place to protect the environment and protect local residents from being forced to foot the bill.
Well, local communities should be able to make the final decision on whatever the heck that they want, right?
And I think that local communities don't feel like they've had a seat at the table because they've been steamed rolled due to, you know,
laws like the speed act that Tom Tiffany actually passed that allows these data centers to do whatever they want without having nothing stand in their way.
And so what we have to do is make sure that we are protecting our communities.
We're protecting our environment and protecting the jobs of the future.
So all these data centers, they need to pay their own way.
Not one single dime should be passed on to any Wisconsin taxpayer.
We have to protect ourselves.
And at the end of the day, that's what we're going to do.
Now officially the Democratic nominee, Crowley will face off with Republican nominee Congressman Tom Tiffany for Wisconsin Governor in November.
