Here's what Wisconsin needs to know.
The Milwaukee Brewers still aren't saying why an escalator malfunctioned at American
family field to broke while people were riding it Saturday.
Eleven people were injured.
Six of them had to go to the hospital.
It's not clear exactly what happened or when the escalator might go back in service.
For a report says Racine County executive Jonathan Delegrave died of a heart attack while
jogging last Friday.
That's what sources tell the Racine County I, a cause of death had not been officially
released as of this morning.
It was 51 years old.
Senator Bernie Sanders says he understands Democrats concerns about President Biden.
But if we are going to protect democracy, if we kind of protect workers rights, if we're
going to deal with climate change, if we're going to deal with women's rights, the choice
is absolutely clear.
Sanders speaking with WISN TV's up front, Sanders gave several speeches around Wisconsin
last week.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign starts collecting signatures today to appear on Wisconsin's
November ballots.
They need 2,000 valid signatures by August 6th.
We'll probably collect 4,000 or 5,000 signatures just to be sure that we have far more than
we need.
And if our other state's performance is anything to go by, it may be far far more than
that.
Campaign manager, I'm a Rillis Fox Kennedy speaking with WISN TV's up front.
That audit says it's taking longer for the state of Wisconsin crime lab to process sexual
assault evidence kits.
Tests are supposed to be done in 6 months, but the legislative audit bureau says it's
taking closer to 9 months.
A US Supreme Court ruling late last week means abortions will still be available in
emergencies at least for now.
The case comes from Idaho where doctors are leaving rather than run the risk of going
to jail.
These questions need to be decided by science, by evidence, by the individual case in front
of you.
The idea that you can have black and white worlds being created by people without the expertise
training or experiencing the emergencies is really fundamentally dangerous.
Molly Megan is chief legal officer with the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists.
Parts of Southern Wisconsin hit by tornadoes last week will get help from the state clean
up and recover.
Governor Evers issued a disaster declaration on Friday.
About a dozen tornadoes swept through Southern Wisconsin last week.
Some of the worst damage was in the Jane'sville area.
I'm Terry Bell, civic media news.
Here's what you need to know closer to home.
For WFHR and WIRI News, I'm Melissa K.
Two people are dead in Adams County.
Police are considering their deaths suspicious and asking for help from the public.
On June 27th, the Adams County Sheriff's Office received a call from someone trying to
contact Sharon K. Miller, age 62, a friendship.
The caller said she went to the home, but she couldn't find Sharon or her son Jamie.
Police arrived to check the house in Strong's Prairie and found evidence of digging on the
property.
After obtaining a search warrant, they located the body of Sharon Miller.
Initially, they were asking for help to locate the son Jamie Lombie, age 37, but yesterday
Adams County issued a press release stating the body of Jamie was located at the residence.
They don't know how Sharon or Jamie died yet, pending autopsy, but both deaths are being
investigated as suspicious.
If you have had recent contact with Sharon Miller or Jamie Lombie, please contact the
Adams County Sheriff's Office.
The bridge is out on County AA in the town of Port Edwards.
The heavy rainfall last week undermined the pavement on County AA at Lynn Creek.
The Wood County Highway Department has closed the road to all traffic, from Grunwald
Lane to North of the Lynn Creek Causeway.
There's no formal detour, but you can drive around the closure by using County Highways
JJ and G and State Highway 173.
At this time, they don't know how long the road will be closed.
There are still road closed signs up on Wisconsin River Drive at Seneca Road heading into
Port Edwards, as road construction continues on that stretch.
The Wisconsin DOT reminds drivers that these barricades are installed in work zones for
the safety of construction crews and the traveling public.
The signs imply that you can't get from one end to the other end of a project without
coming across construction activities.
If you do not have a destination inside the work zone, please follow the detour route.
Senator Bernie Sanders visited Steven's point on Friday.
He talked about the debate that took place on Thursday night.
I think the vast majority of the American people were distressed by what they saw.
In Donald Trump, they saw a pathological liar who lied and lied and lied.
The president was not terribly articulate to say the least, and he was not focused.
He did not defend a very strong record.
On the subject of climate change, Senator Sanders said this about Trump.
When he was asked about climate journalism, say one word.
And I'm proud to tell you that on the Biden, by the way, we have made more progress in
transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel than we have ever done in the history
of the country.
Gas prices rose slightly over the last week, with a 0.6 cent increase.
The average across the state today is $3.27 per gallon.
This is over 6 cents lower than a month ago and more than 12 cents lower than this time
last year.
Patrick DeHon had a petroleum analysis at gas buddy, said the national average has been
inching up slightly for three straight weeks.
However, drivers hitting the road for the July 4th holiday should see comparable prices
to last year.
He did warn that hurricane season could affect gas prices later this summer.
Prices in central Wisconsin today range from 3.16 to 3.19 per gallon.
Today is the monthly vet breakfast at Grace's restaurant in Wisconsin Rapids.
It begins at 9 a.m.
It's also non-profit Monday at White Sands Mini Golf.
$1 from every game purchased will go to help our VFW post $25.34.
And that's what you need to know.

The Brewers head to Colorado.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports.
The first place Brewers open a four game series tonight against the Rockies at Cours Field
in Denver.
Milwaukee with a 7-to-1 win over the Cubs thanks to another Grand Slam by Bryce Tarrang.
How have the Brewers been able to tie a major league record with 5 Grand Slam in just
8 games?
Manager Pat Murphy.
It's a secret plan on head homers with the bases loaded.
We bought it.
It was a recipe online and we got it.
Meanwhile the Cubs losing their 7th consecutive series on the road, Craig Council, as to start
her Kyle Hendrix, looked overwhelmed, giving up a home run to Yelich and a Grand Slam
to Tarrang in the 4th.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it was a little bit right.
And look, we can still get out of that inning too, and it's, you know, it's a 3-1 game
and he made some pitches and they put them over the fence.
NBA Paul George has told the Clippers he'll not return.
He might be headed to Philadelphia.
Meanwhile there's been a rumor for weeks the Bucks were shopping 36-year-old Brooke Lopez
around, but so far no new developments with sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba.
The ladies of the view are always outspoken to say the least, especially one in particular.
Joy Bayhara recently said she still plans to get it on with a woman.
When asked by fellow host Sandra Bernhardt and Judy Gold, if she's ever been with a woman,
the 81-year-old Bayhara says no, but someday I will be.
Bayhara clarified that she would do it when she was in her 90s.
Ha, sexy.
It wouldn't be totally unheard of for Bayhara to take a walk on the wild side late in life.
She met her current husband Steve Janowitz at a semi-neutist colony in 1982.
Bayhara says Janowitz was naked.
She was not, adding that for her to be naked in front of a man, she has to be in his
will.
The couple dated for 30 years before tying the knot in 2011.
When asked why their courtship lasted so long, Bayhara said they wanted to wait until
both sets of parents were dead, so there'd be no in-laws.
Bayhara was married to her previous husband Joe for 19 years, who I'm guessing she met
playing spin the bottle.
The band Tenacious D is prepared to hit the road before this year's election.
Band members Jack Black and Kyle Gas have announced a five-show tour between October 21st
and 26th, hoping to rock D-vote.
There's no coincidence that all five stops are in swing states as they will hit schools
in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and here in Wisconsin on October 23rd at the
Sylvie in Madison.
Tickets go on sale June 28th.
Do you find it hard keeping up with streamable content?

York City.

reboot, including Rock is the show's narrator and Terry Cruz and Tishina Arnold as Rocks
Everybody still hates Chris will premiere on Comedy Central and stream on Paramount Plus
