News from the Center · Sat Sep 5, 2026

Today is Saturday, September 5th.

Good morning for WRCO News.

I'm Kaylinal Connell.

The City Council of Richland Center unanimously adopted resolution number 2026-11, which was advanced by older person Rachel Schultz to formally express significant concerns regarding the proposed BECI 765 kilovoltron mission line.

The Council's action underscores growing apprehension over the project's potential impacts on local homes, agricultural land, regional businesses, and the surrounding environment within Richland County and the Driflus area.

Through the resolution, the City is officially requesting that the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin take several key precautionary steps before moving forward.

Specifically, the City asks that the Commission ensure timely notice of all proceedings, give full consideration of alternative routing and design options such as underground or co-location, and require a comprehensive environmental impact statement that evaluates the cumulative effects of both the proposed BECI project and the nearby Marybell Transmission Project.

In addition, the resolution emphasizes the necessity of a thorough federal aviation review due to potential hazards the tall transmission structures could pose to the Richland Center municipal airport and regional low-altitude agricultural flights.

Moving forward, the City of Richland Center intends to remain fully engaged throughout the regulatory process.

and has authorized the mayor and the city administrator to petition for formal intervener status once the official application is filed.

As students have returned to classrooms across Wisconsin, public health officials are still emphasizing the critical need for up-to-date

back to school vaccinations.

In light of recent measles activity within the state and especially our section of the state, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services is urging parents and caregivers to review their children's immunization records promptly.

Ensuring children receive recommended vaccines helps safeguard individual student health and prevents potential classroom outbreaks.

Recent data indicates that kindergarten vaccination rates for measles, mumps, and rubella remain below the 95% threshold required to maintain herd immunity.

Combined with an increase in non-medical vaccine waivers, the risk of the disease transmission in school environments remained heightened.

The Department of Health Services encourages families to consult health care providers, utilize the Wisconsin Immunization Registry to verify coverage, or access state assistance programs like Vaccines for Children to ensure a safe and healthy academic year.

On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Technical College System Board approved its $168 million state budget request for 2027 through 2029.

Serving over 293,000 students annually across 16 colleges, the system aims to reverse capacity cuts and address student wait lists driven by high employer demand for skilled graduates.

The budget request targets several priority areas to bolster workforce development.

It includes $59.4 million for general operations and outcomes-based funding.

alongside $57.2 million to expand dual enrollment opportunities to every high school student statewide.

To tackle severe worker shortages in essential industries like healthcare and manufacturing, the Wisconsin Technical College system proposes $22.6 million in industry sector grants.

Additionally, the request allocates $23.2 million for adult basic education programs, serving the state's 330,000 adults without a high school diploma, an $8.5 million to upgrade data systems, and strengthen cybersecurity.

Representing a 5.64% increase in overall funding, the Wisconsin Technical College System President Leila Maryfield emphasized that the investment is critical to maintaining the high-quality education and training required to support Wisconsin's key industries and long-term economic strength.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is urging boaters to prioritize safety during this Labor Day weekend, a period known for high water traffic as the boating season winds down.

With most individuals operating boats far less frequently than motor vehicles, Lieutenant John Sinclair, the DNR Boating Law Administrator, emphasizes the importance of understanding equipment, laws, and personal capabilities.

For those born on or after January 1st of 1989, Wisconsin Boating Safety Certification, or an equivalent, is mandatory, though taking a safety course serves as a valuable refresher for all operators.

To date in 2026, there have been 21 fatal boating incidents investigated by the Wisconsin DNR Conservation Wardens and public safety partners, highlighting the critical need for vigilance.

Many of these incidents could have been mitigated by wearing US Coast Guard approved life jackets, which keep heads above water in emergencies.

When out on the water, safety practices are essential.

Butters should consistently wear life jackets as they provide a crucial buffer against drowning.

Maintaining sobriety is equally important as alcohol use remains a leading factor in accidents.

Operators should also be mindful of their speed

especially in congested areas or near shorelines, and ensure they are visible by testing navigation lights and wearing bright clothing.

It is vital to recognize one's physical limits and environmental conditions, while also minimizing distractions like loud music or mobile devices.

Communicating travel plans, including routes and return times, is a key safety measure for those heading out, especially when alone.

Finally, courteous sharing of the water ensures a safety environment for everyone.

Beyond these direct safety measures, boaters must also protect the water itself.

Before leaving the shoreline, ensure all water is drained from live wells, ballast tanks, and remove any aquatic vegetation from boats and trailers.

This simple practice is instrumental in preventing the spread or damaging aquatic invasive species that threaten native wildlife and ecosystem health across Wisconsin.

As of Friday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has confirmed 136 cases, along with six probable cases in the measles outbreak in Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette counties, for a total of 144 cases in Wisconsin so far in 2026.

From the total measles count, Lafayette County leads with 65 cases in Wisconsin, followed closely by Iowa County with 62 cases.

Grand County trails with 15 confirmed or probable measles cases in 2026.

Of the 144 total case count, over 99% of the cases were identified to have occurred in unvaccinated residents.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services in coordination with the Grant County Health Department, Iowa County Health Department, and Lafayette County Health Department are working to identify and notify people who may have been exposed to the measles virus.

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases and the virus easily spreads from person to person through coughing and sneezing.

The measles virus can stay in the air for up to two hours after a sick person coughs or sneezes and can be caught by breathing contaminated air or touching an infected surface.

Those who are most at risk are the unvaccinated or those who don't know their vaccination status.

If you believe you have been exposed to measles and are not immune, remain at home and monitor for symptoms.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services urges all people to check their vaccination status

as a vaccination is the best way to prevent the measles illness.
