From the WISS WGBW Newsroom, I'm Stuart J. Wattles and for Lisa Hale.
Area lawmakers have planned several budget listening sessions this week.
In Appleton, Monday, Senator Kristen Dessler, Alphime and Representatives Laurie Palmerri and Lee Snodgrass host a session at the Appleton Public Library. See our stories at civicmedia.us for days, times and locations.
Wisconsin Wildlife Experts are warning residents not to post locations of rare birds on social media to avoid bird watchers flocking to the area.
Residents in the northern areas of the state have seen an increase in the number of snowy owl sightings this year, and officials say crowds of people gathering to snap a picture of the majestic birds could be stressful and dangerous for them.
The Trump administration's new tariffs are set to take effect Tuesday. They'll raise taxes on goods from Canada, Mexico and China, three of the nation's biggest trade partners. All consumers would feel the effects and so would producers like farmers.
Savannah Tomy Olsen reports Wisconsin farmers are bracing for impact. Michael Slattery is a farmer in Manitwa County. He grows corn, soybeans and canning vegetables.
He has a decent idea of how these tariffs could impact him in 2018 during Trump's first term when he added tariffs to China and China retaliated.
Slattery lost 60% of his revenue.
It takes decades to build up stable market relationship. And so we were losing our biggest importer of agricultural produce because of these Trump tariffs.
Farmers would be affected twofold on exporting their products and tariffs would raise prices on things like fertilizer and equipment parts.
In 2023, Wisconsin exported almost $4 billion worth of agricultural products. For 983 WISS 979 WGBW news, I'm Stuart J. Wattles in Felisa, Hale.
Wisconsin falls short to the Spartans. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports, men's college basketball. The Badgers had the lead at halftime, but lost to the Spartans at Michigan State 71 to 62. Badgers had coach Greg Garth.
You're always going to build your program and your team to be able to survive those. And the two things that we didn't do well enough when you have one of these five for 32 games.
And part of that is Michigan State's defense part of it. You know, we had good looks. I thought we had some really good looks at times from the right guys.
Up next, Wisconsin plays the golfers in Minnesota Wednesday night. Mark Ketwood went over the weekend at Georgetown. They had north to face Yukon on Wednesday.
W. Milwaukee had no trouble against Detroit Mercy. The Panthers winning 89 to 67, securing the number three seed in the horizon league tournament.
And the number one ranked Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey team shut out Bemidji State in Madison, 11 and nothing.
So the Badgers advanced to the first round of the WCHA playoffs Friday in Duluth with sports. I'm Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba, creators of the legendary show Cheers recently addressed Shelley Long's exit from the show after five seasons.
Creators Glenn and Les Charles appeared on the where everybody knows your name podcast with hosts Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson.
The brothers Charles say they weren't sure the show could go on after long left because it was so based on the hot and cold relationship between Sam and Diane.
During the same episode, the producers admitted that Woody Harrelson was not their first choice, but Ted Danson went to bat forum and sitcom history was made.
To say things are really escalating in the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni multiple lawsuit drama would be an understatement.
The actress has sued Baldoni for sexual harassment during the shooting of It Ends With Us and Baldoni has counter sued Lively for running what he and his people say is a smear campaign.
Lively appears to be going for a checkmate move and has hired a former CIA PR crisis manager.
Sounds like it's only a matter of time before Putin is involved.
As it turns out, not everyone in Hollywood wants to be a part of a superhero movie and is willing to pass on big fat residual checks.
Jeremy Allen White, star of the Emmy winning show The Bear, has passed on the title role in DC Universe's Sergeant Rock.
In a recent interview, White said he is confused at the idea that the pinnacle of an actress career seems to be a role in a superhero film.
Then again, maybe he just doesn't like to wear tights.
And then there's Chris Pratt, who seems to have no problem playing superheroes as long as the check caches.
I feel your brother. Pratt has announced that he will play Star Lord when the character returns to the Marvel comic universe by way of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Pratt is currently one of the busiest actors in Hollywood as he is starring in the electric state with Millie Bobby Brown on Netflix.
And you can catch him in the sci-fi film Mercy, which will be released this summer.
I'm currently three episodes into the new season of Reacher and so far I would recommend it as a Pete Pick.
Actual giant Alan Richardson has returned as the title character kicking butt and taking names.
Season three so far has more of a feel like season one where Reacher stays true to the character, giving assistance to the underdog and those in need.
Reacher season three gets a so far so good rating. Stay tuned.
Boiler alert regarding White Lotus season two.
Season three of the hit HBO show is underway. White Lotus is always set at a White Lotus resort where in episode one we learn a murder has been committed.
But don't find out who the victim is or who done it until the last episode of the season.
Jennifer Coolidge was the victim in season two and says she hopes that her on-screen husband played by John Grise is the victim in the third season.
That seems the obvious choice, but writer creator Mike White likes to keep the audience guessing.
You can catch White Lotus at 9 p.m. on Sunday nights on max.
For more showbiz fond tuning to Nightlight with me, Peach Waba, weeknights from 6 to 8 p.m. on the Civic Media radio network.
We are tracking a system that will bring some light rain late tonight through tomorrow and then heavy rain tomorrow night with rain mixing with and changing to snow on Wednesday.
And there could be some accumulation so stay tuned for updates on this one today.
Partly cloudy. We'll get to the mid-40s for a high today. I'm meteorologist Sean Cable. Outside now it's 33.
