You can watch the USA men's curling team compete against Norway during the Olympics at
the Tri-City Curling Club this Sunday and try out curling while you're there.
The event is from noon to 3 p.m. on February 15th in Wisconsin Rapids. Club members will
be there to discuss the game and strategy. You don't need any experience to try curling,
the event is free and you just need to bring clean, rubber-sold shoes and warm clothing
that's easy to move around in. The Tri-City Curling Club is located at 131 Hurley Street
in Rapids.
All Clark County snowmobile and winter ATV trails on public and private lands will close
at 6 a.m. on Sunday. Thorpe Snow Raiders trails are already closed as of 6 a.m. on Thursday
and trails remain closed for the Nielsville Grandton Trailbusters. You can contact the Clark
County Forestry and Parks Department for current trail information at 715-743-5140.
February is National Heart Month. The American Red Cross is asking people to show how much
you care by taking a Red Cross First Aid CPR and AED class. Only about one-third of adults
in the U.S. say they feel confident and ready to act if someone goes into cardiac arrest.
Having the knowledge and confidence to act can triple someone's chances of surviving
cardiac arrest. You can visit redcross.org to find a class in your area.
There's only one more week to wait for the annual Port Edwards Knights of Columbus drive
through Fish Fry. Beginning on Friday, February 20th, you can get a Fish Fry to take home
for 14 bucks with all the fixings. Next week, they'll be serving from 3 to 6 p.m.

Another challenge for the Badgers. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports. Men's College
Basketball tonight. The Wisconsin Badgers host Michigan State at the Coles Center in
Madison. The Spartans ranked 10th in the nation. That doesn't seem to phase Wisconsin
who beat number 8 ranked Illinois on the road in overtime Wednesday. Nick Boyd, transfer
to the Badgers last spring, had coach Greg Garden-Lye Boyd has been such a great addition.
He's a winner and he's won everywhere he's been and that's why he wanted to come to Wisconsin
because he could coach. I've been to a final four and I want to get to more in Green
Bay. The UWGB Phoenix beat Purdue Fort Wayne 76 to 49 at the Crest Center. The Phoenix
now 15 and 12 and 10 and 6 in the conference. A big turnaround from this time of year ago
had coach Doug Gottlieb. Last year, February 13th, we lost our 21st consecutive game. NBA,
the Bucks beat the Thunder 1, 10 to 93. The Bucks won five of their last six heading into
the All-Star break this weekend, with sports on Mike Clemens.
A little patchy fog this morning, then we're headed into a really nice day and a nice weekend.
Today, mostly sunny, we'll get to the low to mid 40s for a high this afternoon. Tonight,
a little patchy fog, partly cloudy, down into the upper teams to low 20s tomorrow, mostly
sunny with a high again in the low to mid 40s. I mean, yourologist Sean Cable.
