Civic Media News. I'm Terry Bout. Here's what Wisconsin needs to know. The Democratic nominee for President visits the birthplace of the Republican Party today. Vice President Kamala Harris campaigns in Ripon. It's Harris fifth visit to Wisconsin since her campaign began in July. Donald Trump won Fondle Act County by more than 15,000 votes four years ago.

Trump campaigns in Juneau on Sunday. Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by four points in Wisconsin in the latest market pull. Pull director Charles Franklin says independence have been trending for Harris since Joe Biden left the race.
Independence have bumped up to 60 or a little above 60% for Harris, saying it twice in a row, I think is worth noting. Meanwhile, Tammy Baldwin has a seven point lead over Eric Hubby in the race for US Senate.
A new report finds Wisconsin is heading toward a potential senior care crisis. Forward analytics says the number of people in Wisconsin age 75 and older is expected to go up by about 75% in the next 20 years.
That means a need for almost 60,000 new nursing home beds and 99,000 nurses and other staff by 2040.
45 pets displaced by Hurricane Helene are now in animal shelters around Wisconsin. The Humane Society's Lisa Bernard says the idea is to open up space and affected areas to handle local pets lost and reunite them with their owners.
The Humane Society will make an announcement when the animals here are up for adoption. As many as 82 Wisconsin projects tied to clean energy could qualify for tax incentives under the inflation reduction act.
Emily Pritzko, the Wisconsin Building Trades Council says they'll offer good jobs. Excellent pay flexibility and we are rising to meet that wind turbine technicians and solar installers are the fastest growing occupations in the US.

Woothing cough or pertussis is spreading throughout Wisconsin. There are 22 confirmed cases in Winnebago County according to county communicable disease supervisor Jackie Grinole. She said the best way to avoid the disease is to make sure you're vaccinated.
Vaccination is such a good method to if not prevent that at least a less than a severity of disease and to slow down transmission.
Grinole says pertussis is most dangerous to infants, pregnant women and those who are immunocompromised. Wisconsin Task Force One made up of rescue workers from across the state is helping with Hurricane Helene relief efforts.
Oshkosh Fire Chief Mike Stanley says his training captain is part of the team.
He's with the Task Force One team in North Carolina helping initially with evacuations and now search and rescue for the flooded areas.
Members of the Appleton, Green Bay and Nina Monashafire departments are also part of Wisconsin Task Force One.
Volunteers from the American Red Cross were in the southern states setting up shelters before Hurricane Helene hit.
Rebecca Rockhill executive director of the American Red Cross in Green Bay.
We really worked to get volunteers boots on the ground when we hear it's coming because two show up after the storm is hit is often too late.
Rockhill said 35 volunteers six from New Wiscoe and several emergency response vehicles have been sent to the 10 states affected by Hurricane Helene.
So we're really about providing that safe shelter, providing the meals, the emotional support, the cleanup kits, that sort of thing.

That's what it sounded like on ESPN radio as the brewers beat the meds five to three last night. Hi, I'm Jimmy Cusco with sports filling it for Mike Lemons.
Today will be game three of the Wildcard series between the brewers and the meds. Jackson Turio hit two home runs and Garrett Mitchell hit a go ahead to run blast to move the brewers in front in the win.
Mitchell said he was excited for the opportunity to come up big.
You'll see there's a lot of pressure there, but like at the same time it's just enjoying the game and having fun. It's a kids game, you know, play it.
Like I said, those are the types of things you look at like when you're in the backyard.
It was awesome, exciting, still trying to come down from it, but just most importantly, I'm excited to have played another game or another day of baseball and come back out here tomorrow and do it again.
Manager Pat Murphy said Turio had a great night.
Yeah, that's pretty special. Yeah, pretty special. A lot of guys contributed tonight.
It was, you know, again, you saw what our teams about what they've been about all year.
They didn't quit. They'd kept every pitch. Yeah, a lot of guys contributions, but Turio.
Willie Adamus was impressed by Turio's performance.
I mean, insane, insane. I mean, he's, I feel like he's done some, you know, he hit some clutch hits throughout the year, but I know for him that felt amazing.
And for the team felt positive. I changed the whole game right there and he gave us an opportunity to play in three tomorrow.
The pitch tonight is after 6 p.m. If the Brewers win, they'll play the Phillies on Saturday and Sunday to start the NLDS.
And the Packers will try to bounce back this week as they take on the Rams on Sunday after losing last weekend to the Vikings kickoff on Sunday is after 3 p.m.
Filling it for my clements, I'm Jimmy Cusca with Civic Media Sports.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba. Mark Hamill has agreed to appear in a revival of Cartoon Network's The Regular Show.
The show ran for eight seasons on Cartoon Network and is being brought back by Warner Brothers.
Hamill played a Yeti named Skips and will return to the role. If you haven't checked out the animated show, I recommend it, or maybe you're not interested in the high jinks of Slacker's Mordecai, a Blue J, and Rigby, a Raccoon, who try to avoid doing any kind of actual work and spend the day playing video games.
It took a lot to get Daniel Day Lewis to come out of retirement, specifically the movie his son is making that Lewis helped him co-write.
Lewis has not been seen on the silver screen in seven years, but is warming up his acting chops to start in an enemy.
Ronan is directing the film for focus features. According to Yahoo Entertainment, the story centers on the relationships between fathers and sons and brothers.
Daniel Day Lewis is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest actor of his generation. He's the only male actor to have won three Oscars for best actor.
Lots of really respected actors have passed away the last several days, including Maggie Smith, Chris Christofferson, John Ashton, and now John Amos.
Amos starred in Roots, the TV miniseries from the late 1970s, and Norman Lear's hit show Good Times.
His other credits included Coming to America, Uncut Gems, and Die Hard 2. Amos was 84 years old.
It seems no one has told Haley Welch, also known as the Hawk 2, a girl, that her 15 minutes of fame are up.
First, she was an internet sensation, then she threw out a few first pitches, and appeared on popular podcasts, and sold some serious merch, but she's not stopping there.
Now she has her own podcast on Spotify, and it is the third most popular.
The podcast is called Talk Toa. Those who tune in to Talk Toa can expect to hear Haley chatting with celebrities, exuding Southern hospitality, and giving relationship advice.
I thought Hawk 2a was relationship advice.
The showreacher has never been devoid of girl power, but a new spin-off will take it to the next level. Prime videos developing a new series.
It will star Maria Sten, who plays Francis Negley, opposite Reacher.
In a recent interview, Sten said the show will still be very richer with snappy dialogue and lots of action, but it will be its own show.
Reacher, based on the books by Lee Child, is one of Amazon's most popular shows domestically and worldwide.
A release date has not been set.
Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will not be invited onto Saturday Night Live before the November 5th presidential election.
SNL creator Lauren Michaels told the Hollywood Reporter that due to equal time provisions, it gets too complicated, and he would have to invite every candidate on.
Even minor candidates who are only on the ballot in two or three states.
I guess for the time being, we are stuck with impersonators James Austin Johnson is Trump and Maya Rudolph playing Harris.
My personal favorite, Jim Gaffigan, is Tim Walls.
