Here's your Daily News Roundup.

For Civic Media News, I'm Connie Feldman.

As the nation pauses today to remember the 9-11 attacks, one Wisconsin community is launching a $4 million project aimed at making sure people never forget that fateful day a quarter of a century ago.

The Wisconsin 9-11 Memorial and Education Center chose the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks to launch a capital campaign to build a permanent indoor education center in Kiewaskam.

Organizers say visitors will learn about the nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks, including the 18 victims with ties to Wisconsin.

The memorial will highlight the first responders, military personnel, and ordinary Americans who answered an extraordinary moment with courage and sacrifice.

Kiewaskam High School graduate, Andrii Haidt,

Heberman was killed in the North Tower on 9-11.

Heberman was in New York on her first business trip.

Kiewaskam's current outdoor exhibit includes a beam of steel recovered from the tower where Heberman was killed in the World Trade Center.

Organized to say, the campaign comes at a critical moment as an entire generation of Americans has now grown up with little or no personal memory of September 11.

A new lawsuit could force Wisconsin courts to decide whether the state constitution protects a right to abortion.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is challenging the 24-hour waiting period and a law that prevents advanced practice clinicians from providing abortion care.

The group says the restrictions create unnecessary government interference.

Wisconsin Right to Life argues the lawsuit goes beyond protecting private medical decisions.

Wisconsin is joining other states and asking the federal government to step up efforts against robocalls, which officials say are costing Americans billions of dollars.

The coalition wants the FCC to acquire phone companies to verify and regularly monitor the businesses that help route calls across the country.

It's also calling for stronger protections against fake caller ID numbers and penalties for providers that let illegal calls through.

Stephen Avery and Brendan Dassey are going directly to Governor Evers in hopes of reducing their time behind bars.

Court records show Avery and Dassey are both applying to the Governor's Commutation Advisory Board.

Both were convicted separately in the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach in Manitowoc County.

Avery submitted an application yesterday in Manitowoc County.

A judge would have to sign off on it before it goes to the State Commutations Board.

Dasi, who was a teenager at the time of his conviction, submitted his application for a juvenile commutation earlier this month.

The judge forwarded it to the state.

Avery and Dasi are both serving life terms for the murder of the young photographer.

A school teacher in Verona is facing charges accused of having sexual contact with an underage student.

Police say Holland Nelson was charged with sexual assault this week following an investigation into a reported sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student in 2019.

Officers began investigating after hearing the student had a quote, a fair, with their middle school band teacher having reconnected with the educator through Snapchat.

The 34-year-old faces up to six years in prison if convicted.

Flags are flying at half staff around our state today in honor of the tragic events that happened on this date exactly a quarter of a century ago.

Wisconsin is marking the 25th anniversary of 9-11 through statewide memorial events and community volunteer efforts.

Governor Tony Evers declared September 11th a day of service and remembrance, encouraging people to perform acts of kindness and volunteer in their local communities.

The annual 9-11 memorial stair climb at Lambeau Field will take place tomorrow.

The yearly event brings thousands together to honor the firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

And that's your state news update.

Badger football tomorrow.

Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports.

The Wisconsin Badgers kick off their home schedule with a night game tomorrow against Western Illinois.

Game time 615 head coach Luke Fickle on facing an uncommon opponent like the Western Illinois Leathernecks.

You know, what do you look for in a week like this?

And you know, with a different opponent, like we look for the same things.

We look for the guys that prepare in a very similar way.

We look for guys that take everything as serious as it was last week.

That'll tell us a lot about the discipline and the maturity of our team.

And that's also a part of us growing.

up to

NFL.

The Packers play the Vikings and their new quarterback Kyler Murray linebacker Zaire Franklin will be playing his first game for Green Bay.

Talked about what he sees on tape of Murray.

Obviously dynamic playmaker at every level of body he's played, you know, can make the big throw down the field on the sidelines.

Also extremely explosive with his legs too.

So obviously, you know, he's the starting quarterback there for a reason.

This concludes today's vital statistics.

Good morning, everyone.

For WRCO News, I'm Todd Copernall, 56 degrees under sunny skies with some fog still hanging around in Richland Center this morning.

Forecast says our high temperature today.

will reach 82 degrees in the news in a solemn tribute marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has signed executive order number 304.

The order directs that both the United States and state of Wisconsin flags be flown at half staff today.

from sunrise to sunset.

It also designates the day as a state day of service and remembrance honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the tragic events 25 years ago.

Governor Evers is encouraging citizens throughout Wisconsin to reflect on the fateful day.

by actively participating in service and giving back to their communities.

In his announcement, Governor Evers called upon Wisconsinites to help honor this solemn day through acts of kindness and service in their local communities, emphasizing that residents are united today in remembering and honoring those whose lives were forever changed and paying respects to first responders, service members, and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in its aftermath.

To mark the day, Governor Evers and members of his administration will participate in local service events.

For those interested in joining the effort, the Volunteer Wisconsin website offers a list of potential volunteer opportunities, including virtual options.

Wisconsinites can also participate in other ways, including by engaging with their neighborhoods and communities, performing acts of kindness and taking the time to reflect on the significance of the day.

The Richland County Fair continues today and runs through Sunday at the Richland County Fairgrounds.

Today, animal shows continue.

Life-sized balloon creations will start at four o'clock and the Southwest Pullers Truck and Tractor Pull will be held at 6.30.

The pull at the fair is special to event organizer Jason Kleppy.

It's very near and dear to me.

You know, I ran this pool for 17 years and I stepped away as the kids got older and sporting events and now the kids keep getting older and it allows me to have more time and you know, they didn't have a tractable to fair last year and it kind of hit me pretty hard.

I'm like, we got to do something here and we got to get in and I met with the fair board and I'm back on board to run the tractable again.

So

It is near and dear to me because I think back when I was a kid, the Richland County Fair was a huge big deal to me.

We look forward to it all year long.

You go to the tractor pole or even the rides or whatever, you know, and it showed how rich we were in community and stuff like that.

And I think we really need to get back to that.

And people need to know what goes on at the fair and what goes on in our community.

Tomorrow will be Children's Day.

Events include kids in agriculture activities at nine o'clock, a petal pole at three o'clock, and the meat animal sale at five.

At this year's sale, a local youth who recently lost his life will be honored.

Tim Woodman is an organizer of the meat animal sale.

If you've ever been to the sale, it's a great time.

It's a great way to support the 4-H and FFA members of the county.

We have a little bit of a change this year with the sale and that being

We are going to sell Briggs Maxwell's hog towards the beginning of the sale.

And most of you know that Briggs is an Ithaca student who recently lost his life due to a farming accident.

We continue to send out prayers to the Maxwell and Nelson families.

We're going to do this in the Golden Gallon format.

So if you've ever been to the sale, when the Golden Gallon sells, it's basically anybody can raise their card and bid and throw out a number.

We just want to be able to support.

Briggs and the Maxwell and Nelson families as much as possible.

So we are going to sell that pig towards the beginning of the sale and there will be no commission charged on that animal.

Also tomorrow night, the demolition derby will get underway at 7 o'clock.

Sunday at 11 will be the Little Bridges Showmanship Contest.

All weekend will be Mr. Ed's magical midway rides.

You can view animals, tour exhibits, enjoy delicious food and more.

25 years after the tragic events of September 11, 2001,

A powerful symbol of heroism and recovery has found a permanent home in Wisconsin.

The 2000 Harley-Davidson Super Glide Sport Motorcycle, written by off-duty fire department of New York firefighter Tim Duffy to ground zero, is now on display at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee.

On the morning of the attack, Duffy put on his gear and rode his motorcycle into Lower Manhattan to assist in rescue efforts.

He survived being buried by debris during the collapse of one of the Twin Towers and immediately returned to helping others.

In the nine grueling months of recovery and cleanup that followed, the motorcycle remained his primary mode of transportation, serving as an active witness to the historic effort.

The motorcycle's legacy was also captured in a famous photograph by acclaimed photojournalist Alan Tannenbaum.

The image, which shows Duffy riding through the Ashefield debris-covered streets toward danger, became an enduring icon of first responder courage.

On September 4th, ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks, Duffy and Tannenbaum reunited at the museum to formally present the newly restored motorcycle, bringing the firefighter, the photographer, and the machine together once more.

Now housed at the museum on Canal Street, this historic artifact offers visitors a tangible, deeply personal connection to a defining moment in American history.

Brandon Ewing is here again.

Day three.

Day three of being Henry Bray's stunt double.

You mean vacay Bray?

Vacay Bray.

Hey, yesterday was fun.

You know, Violet could have her own show.

Okay.

So I was going to say, do you think she has, she has a shot?

I do.

Tell her to set the bar higher than being a radio announcer.

I think she could do whatever she wants.

Really.

Well, with a, with a voice like that.

Oh yeah.

Honestly, I'm, I'm a little, uh, impartial.

She's my child, but you know, a face like that too.

She's

absolutely.

Yeah.

Just being so confident.

But, uh, you and I were talking before and on the air, I loved it when I had my first one right yesterday and she's like, that's right.

So

I listened back to it and she was so excited for you.

You know, just how she, and I remember it.

She's like a little teacher.

That's right.

But her deadpan delivery, just the way that she approached it, I thought she did a good

job.

That made it tough to answer, though, that deadpan delivery.

I tried to make it easy for you, though.

I started with the exact start of the song, and you couldn't get it.

I

know.

I don't

know.

You're

losing your touch.

Must be.

But somebody said, oh, you just faked getting that Bon Jovi one wrong, didn't you?

And I said, no, I

didn't.

I can tell you, I just saw the look on his face.

And the sweat paint

is what's staying inside the form underneath his arms.

Oh well.

And we were talking about that.

If I was to give you that, you know, when you do the Bon Jovi song, you know, you would, you would go at the cadence of the song.

So it would help you, Violet.

No, no, it was, it was more like a poem.

Yes.

Last night.

What'd you do?

Ah,

volleyball last night.

I heard,

you

know,

it

was close.

It played well.

Yeah.

That

was a nice

team.

And being down two girls, that's, uh, that's tough.

Right.

But, uh, yeah, Richland center was up by nine points twice in the first shoot and lost.

Yeah.

So it's one of those things where that was kind of deflating, but they played well the whole

time.

Deflating or a learning opportunity or learning.

Yeah, absolutely.

There's the coach come out like a coach there.

That's

awesome.

Yeah.

I

go watch the football game last night.

So that's good story.

I got home.

Didn't know it was on Netflix.

So we don't have Netflix.

Oh, that angers me.

It does.

And so I got, uh,

I had an opportunity to turn it on after I got the kids down.

And when I, when I did, I realized I didn't have the channel.

So I ended up going back downstairs, laying down with Rosetta.

I fell asleep at like nine o'clock, which is great.

Really?

Absolutely.

That's good for you.

But you said you're, you're kind of tired

this morning.

I

am.

It's for getting up early for me.

Yeah.

That's what it is.

Early mornings are my jam.

Oh, it is.

Okay.

But yeah.

Okay.

Did you ever have an issue with your kids coming in and sleeping with you?

Oh, yes.

Okay.

So.

And I got to talk to Andrea about this because I don't know if I ever did, but I'm telling you it's every night.

I've got Rosetta Lee, not so much violet anymore, but there is special occasions when I turn and wake up in the morning and I see all five of us in a, you know, well, that's how they did it in the old days.

Everybody just sleep in the

same bed.

Yeah.

All that happened all the time.

But then how did they have more kids?

Well, that's good.

You know what?

I thought that.

I didn't say it.

Sorry.

You said it for me.

That's the word vomit.

You were a senior when you're still sleeping with your folks, aren't you?

Andrea, you don't have to answer that one.

Yeah, right.

I'm looking back here because you told me not to start Brock Purdy.

Oh,

shoot.

63 points.

Okay.

So Trevor Lawrence has to get more than 63 or you failed me.

I will deny that I ever said that.

Okay.

Wow,

I didn't.

I forgot that.

Shoot it.

I was going on your advice.

I know.

All right.

You know, Lawrence versus Cleveland or, you know, right, party versus a tough defense, but.

I'm sorry.

Pretty had a good night.

Three touchdown passes.

It was pretty.

Yes, it was.

Oh, well, what else is going on?

You know, anything happening this weekend?

I know the fair.

The fair.

Are you, but are you working

Saturday night?

Uh, Saturday, we will be, um, celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary.

Congratulations.

Yes.

Junie and me.

Well, anything planned?

Ah, maybe a little bit.

We're keeping it on the down

low.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

That's right.

That's right.

That tells me you probably don't have anything planned yet.

Hey, uh, you want to go to the fair?

You know, I'm thinking we could get a nutty bar.

Yeah.

Right.

No, they don't have those anymore.

I don't think I can get her a baked potato.

Maybe I'll do a pop up shop for you.

Oh, there you go.

It might not look very good and or taste very good, but I'll try

hard.

That would be awesome.

You could be standing there with a towel over your head or over your, not over your, over your arm.

I'm natured.

Yeah.

Good server.

Nutty Bob.

More pepper.

Oh boy.

So I, one of my favorite bands is coming to town tonight actually, actually Driftless Gardens out at Yuba and we have to officiate over at spring green.

So I'm a little bum that I can't, I can't make it.

But yeah, trampled by turtles is coming out there.

And, and okay, I don't know if anybody's seen them.

They're, you know, a version of bluegrass.

Awesome, awesome band.

So if you ever get an opportunity to go out there and boogie down is such a cool event that they do that kind of wraps up their season.

So yeah, that's what I've heard.

And I know that trampling

the turtles.

They're kind of a national

thing.

They are.

Yeah.

They've gotten really big.

And I, you know, everybody has these stories.

I got to see them when, you know, we were at Turner Hall in Milwaukee when they were first coming out and it was awesome, awesome setting, awesome group.

Um, yeah.

So.

Cool.

If you can get out there, enjoy it.

Yeah, there you go.

You'll be officiating.

I will be officiating.

Well, we appreciate you doing that.

Yeah, thanks.

And I was thinking, you know, Vaké Bray has his officials corner or I forget what he says, but I think you should give him and I like a 30 minute segment just to kind of riff and raff about officiating things.

Okay.

Well, we'll think about

that.

Well, I thought about

it.

You've done a lot of games in your life.

Thousands, thousands.

Okay.

Have you seen any crazy things in your time?

I've seen a lot of crazy.

Okay.

Give me one that is very memorable to you.

Oh boy.

You mean football

or just any sport?

Football is crazy because a lot of things can happen.

Um, yeah, I look at my, my, uh, experience officiating football.

There's been a couple of times where

I was the referee for an eight man game and I was a little too close to the line of scrimmage and one of the quarterback was rolling out and he kept coming back and coming back and I started to backpedal and I got my feet tripped up and I went went back and I felt very, very silly, but we survived.

It happens.

Hopefully

somebody caught it on their phone.

Oh my gosh, I'm sure.

Yeah, they could share it.

I'm never going to Google Wisconsin Heights ref.

uh, fall over because I know what's going to

show up.

I just had a lot of things, you know, just personally just setting up for broadcasts.

And one time I lost my entire clipboard, you know, I was carrying a clipboard with notes and it was windy that night and every paper right across the middle of the field.

So do you feel a little naked?

A little naked.

Everybody's looking around like, where did all those papers come from?

And of course I did the old Ralphie in the school room during Christmas story where he's looking around like.

Well, one person is responsible for this.

I've been there.

Yeah.

I've been there.

One time I was going into a meeting.

Same thing happened.

And the wind just took all my papers and it's like, I can chase these down or I can just wing it.

I just winged it.

There was no chance I was picking up all those papers.

None.

One time I was plugging in my stuff under the bleachers and I unplugged the score clock during a JV game and a visiting school.

And I plugged it back in and I came out from under the bleachers.

Everybody's like, ah, they're looking at the clock.

And so I did the old.

Yeah.

And

they're

like, what's going on?

Oh, the clock.

So I would have just pointed out the next guy.

He did it.

He did it.

Oh, what do you do?

Yeah, I got a couple of things.

Question of the day.

You ready for it?

Yeah, I'm ready.

What food do you think is completely overrated?

Oh my goodness.

That's a tough one.

Maybe.

Lobster.

Yeah, I love lobster, but it's really expensive.

Yeah,

and it's like is it worth it?

Yeah, you know is it really as good as its price?

I

just think they used to feed that to prisoners because it was the easiest thing to get over on the coast.

Did they

like draw on

butter with it?

I don't know.

But yeah, actually that's a really good answer.

Yeah, I think lobster.

Yeah.

Yeah,

huh.

Yeah, huh.

Okay, you might be from Arkansas if

your family tree has more stories than branches.

There you go.

I think there's a lot of families that could go along with that.

Oh well.

What have you got to cook today?

Yeah, so, Vacay Bray was nice enough to send me his 2 AM Hillbilly What's Whatever's Left casserole.

Okay, you got a package of hot dogs, leftover mashed potatoes, baked beans, shredded cheese, onion, bacon,

barbecue sauce, his staple, crushed potato chips.

Salt and pepper and pickles, but they're optional.

Okay.

So his directions preheat the oven to 375, assuming you remember wherever, wherever, where the knob is, chop up the hot dogs and onion.

Don't worry about making them pretty.

Nobody's judging at 2am.

Dump the baked beans into the casserole dish, spread the mashed potatoes on top.

If they're lumpy,

It's called rustic.

Okay.

Add the hot dog mixture, drizzle barbecue sauce over everything, cover the whole mess with shredded cheese, sprinkle the potato chips on top for a fancy hillbilly crunch, bake for 20 minutes.

See, that's where I don't get it.

Is he really going to bake this for 20 minutes?

I don't know.

How do you?

He's half baked or until the cheese is melted.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

And then remove from the oven, let it cool for about 14, 15 seconds.

That's hard.

It is at 2am right away.

Yeah.

Eat directly from the casserole dish while standing in front of the refrigerator, wearing pajama pants and wondering why you didn't just eat cereal.

His little caveat at the end, hillbilly cooking rule.

If it fits in the pan and you can cover it with cheese, it's a casserole.

There you go.

I

like that though.

That's good.

Yeah, you can melt cheese over anything and make it pretty good.

Heck yeah.

Yeah.

So do you have a fill slot logic?

You know, I do.

Okay.

Sponsored by Salt Weedle Store in Casanovia.

That's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

More lines my mama used to say.

That's great.

You know, what do you do?

Yeah.

Did your mama ever say anything?

Logical

man, or maybe we

need to go to your grandma.

Yeah, cuz your your mama's about my age shoot He put me on the spot.

I

don't know.

I'll think about it and I'll text you.

wooden spoon My mom's was a plastic ball bat

Welcome to the news at noon and a solemn tribute marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has signed executive order number 304.

The order directs that both the United States and state of Wisconsin flags be flown at half staff today from sunrise to sunset.

It also designates the day as a state day of service and remembrance.

honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the tragic events 25 years ago.

Governor Evers is encouraging citizens throughout Wisconsin to reflect on the fateful day by actively participating in service and giving back to their communities.

In his announcement, Governor Evers called upon Wisconsinites to help honor this solemn day through acts of kindness and service in their local communities, emphasizing that residents are united today in remembering and honoring those whose lives were forever changed and paying respects to first responders, service members,

and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in its aftermath.

To mark the day, Governor Evers and members of his administration will participate in local service events.

For those interested in joining the effort, the Volunteer Wisconsin website offers a list of potential volunteer opportunities, including virtual options.

Wisconsinites can also participate in other ways, including by engaging with their neighborhoods and communities, performing acts of kindness and taking the time to reflect on the significance of the day.

As the Green Bay Packers prepare to kick off their season this Sunday, U.S.

Senator Tammy Baldwin is pushing for the passage of her For the Fans Act to ensure that all Wisconsin residents can watch their home team play without being forced to pay for expensive streaming subscriptions.

The legislation comes in response to an increasing number of professional sports games being telecast exclusively on streaming.

platforms.

In the upcoming NFL season, four Packers games will be locked behind streaming paywalls, forcing millions of Wisconsinites to pay additional subscription fees.

Under current rules, only viewers in the Green Bay and Milwaukee media markets are guaranteed free local television broadcasts, leaving more than half of the state's residents potentially without access to the games.

Senator Baldwin emphasized the unifying power of sports in Wisconsin and criticized billionaire-owned streaming companies and professional leagues for rigging the rules to squeeze more money from fans.

She noted that Wisconsin families are already financially stretched and that the bill

aims to provide some relief by ending the confusing and expensive maze of subscriptions.

The For the Fans Act would mandate free live viewing access for local fans and eliminate blackouts on league-owned platforms such as NBA League Pass and MLB.TV.

The bill's provisions would apply to major professional sports leagues including baseball, basketball,

football, hockey, and soccer, with exemptions only for minor leagues and leagues with fewer than eight teams.

Recent polling from data for progress indicates that an overwhelming majority of Americans support the bill's goals of ending blackouts and reducing viewing costs.

The Ritzland County Fair continues today and runs through Sunday at the Ritzland County Fairgrounds.

Today, animal shows continue, life-sized balloon creations will start at four o'clock and the Southwest Polar's Truck and Tractor poll will be held at 6.30.

The poll at the fair is special to event organizer, Jason Kleppy.

It's very near and dear to me.

You know, I ran this poll for 17 years and I stepped away as the kids got older and sporting events and now

the kids keep getting older and it allows me to have more time and, you know, they didn't have a tractor pole to fare last year and it kind of hit me pretty hard.

I'm like, we got to do something here and we got to get in and I met with the fairboard and I'm back on board to run the tractor pole again.

So it is near and dear to me because I think back when I was a kid, the richam county fair was a huge big deal to me.

We look forward to it all year long.

You go to the tractor pole or even the rides or whatever, you know, and it showed how rich we were in community and stuff like that.

And I think we really need to get back to that.

People need to know what goes on at the fair and what goes on in our community.

Tomorrow will be Children's Day.

Events include kids in agriculture activities at 9 o'clock, a petal pole at 3, and a meat animal sale at 5 o'clock.

At this year's sale, a local youth who recently lost his life will be honored.

Tim Woodman is an organizer of the Meat Animal Sale.

If you've ever been to the sale, it's a great time.

It's a great way to support the 4-H and FFA members of the county.

We have a little bit of a change this year with the sale, and that being, we are going to sell Briggs Maxwell's hog towards the beginning of the sale.

And most of you know that Briggs is an Ithaca student who recently lost his life due to a farming accident.

We continue to send out prayers to the Maxwell and Nelson families.

We're going to do this in the golden gallon format.

So if you've ever been to the sale, when the golden gallon sells, it's basically anybody can raise their card and bid and throw out a number.

We just want to be able to support Briggs and the Maxwell and Nelson families as much as possible.

So we are going to sell that pig towards the beginning of the sale and there will be no commission charged on that animal.

Also tomorrow night, the demolition derby will get underway at 7 o'clock.

Sunday at 11 will be the Little Bridges Showmanship Contest.

All weekend will be Mr. Ed's Magical Midway Rides.

You can view animals, tour exhibits, enjoy delicious food and more.

Highway 12 in the town of Sumter in Salk County.

The deputy observed a vehicle traveling eastbound that was speeding.

Welcome back to the news at noon.

A major economic shift is underway in Wisconsin as Canadian retaliatory tariffs officially take effect, threatening the state's key agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

The development follows a series of unilateral tariff proclamations issued by President Trump in July, marking the latest escalation in a trade conflict with Canada, Wisconsin's largest export partner.

In response to the economic threat, Governor Tony Evers sent a formal letter to every Republican member

of Wisconsin's congressional delegation, criticizing them for enabling the administration's trade policies.

The economic stakes for Wisconsin are exceptionally high.

In 2025, Canada was the state's top export destination, purchasing over $7.5 billion in Wisconsin goods, which represents nearly 28% of the state's total exports.

The newly implemented Canadian tariffs are designed to directly impact Wisconsin's signature industries, Wisconsin's

$16 billion dairy industry faces a 25% tariff on nearly all cheese exports, while milk powders weigh in other dairy ingredients will be hit with 50% higher counter tariffs.

Additionally, the state's dominant paper manufacturing sector, centered in the Fox Valley, Green Bay, and central and northern regions, faces 50% tariffs on corrugated boxes, coated papers, packaging, and tissue products, threatening more than half a billion dollars in annual sales

to Canada.

Wisconsin Business World, an affiliate of the WMC Foundation, has officially announced the three student winners of its annual statewide essay contest.

Sponsored by ITU Absorb Tech, the initiative encourages middle and high school students to investigate and detail the positive impact local enterprises have on their surrounding communities.

The 2026 contest recognized Autumn Romansky, a 12-year-old student at Butternut High School, Trevor Heinzelman,

seventh grade student at Kettle Moraine High School, and Crystal Rojas Castillo, a 12th grade student at Madison East.

Their winning submissions highlighted the contributions of several local businesses, including signature signs and graphics and impact cleaning in Butternut, Eaton Corporation in Waukesha, and Garibaldi Mexican Restaurant in Madison.

In recognition of their exceptional work, each student was awarded a $500 prize.

Michelle Grejowski, Senior Director of Wisconsin Business World, commended the participants for effectively showcasing how corporate leadership, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship drive community well-being.

Echoing these sentiments, Jim Leaf, Executive Chairman of the Board at ITU AbsorbTech, noted the value of encouraging young people to recognize local businesses that quietly strive to serve the common good.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, PPWI, and several health care providers filed a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court challenging state laws that restrict access to abortion services.

The legal action seeks to strike down state restrictions that limit abortion care exclusively to licensed physicians and mandate a 24-hour waiting period for patients.

According to the complaint, these laws violate the fundamental rights to liberty, bodily

autonomy and equal protection guaranteed under Article I, Section I of the Wisconsin Constitution.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, including PPWI, its chief medical officer, Dr. Allison Linton, and three advanced practice clinicians.

The lawsuit names Dane County District Attorney Ishmael Ozan, representing all district attorneys across the state, alongside members of the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board and the Board of Nursing,

as defendants.

The complaint argues that the physician-only restriction prevents highly trained advanced care clinicians such as advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants

from providing abortion services that align with their education and training.

The plaintiffs assert that APCs routinely perform healthcare procedures of similar or greater complexity, such as miscarriage management and childbirth, but are barred by state law from providing abortion care under threat of felony prosecution.

Additionally, the lawsuit challenges the state's mandatory 24-hour delay requirement.

This law forces patients to attend two separate appointments and wait at least 24 hours after their initial physical examination and consent session before they can obtain abortion care.

The plaintiffs contend that this delay is medically unjustified, places severe financial and logistical burdens on patients.

Particularly those in rural areas who must travel long distances and can ultimately prevent some patients from accessing care altogether.

Ultimately the plaintiffs are seeking a declaratory judgment from the court stating that these restrictions violate the Wisconsin Constitution as well as a permanent injunction to prevent state officials from enforcing them.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice has joined a coalition in filing two lawsuits to defend the endangered and threatened wildlife.

The legal actions challenge recent federal rule changes that weaken essential protections under the Endangered Species Act and threaten the survival of imperiled species across the country.

Attorney General Josh Call criticized the administration's changes, stating that the new rules green light the destruction of critical habitats and undermine efforts to prevent species

from disappearing.

The first law targets the federal services decision to eliminate the long-standing regulatory definition of harm under previous regulations.

Harm included significant habitat modification or degradation that could kill or injure wildlife by disrupting breeding, feeding, or sheltering.

Removing this definition makes it easier for private companies and individuals to degrade natural habitats without facing accountability, even if those actions threaten the survival of a protected species.

The second lawsuit challenges regulations from the US Fish and Wildlife Service that reduce protections for threatened species and modify the process for designating

critical habitat.

These rural changes rescind automatic protections for newly listed threatened species and establish a process that leaves essential conservation areas vulnerable.

Coalition members argue that because habitat loss is the primary cause of species decline, these rollbacks violate the conservation mandate of the ESA, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.

Wisconsin's participation in these lawsuits reflects its strong interest in preserving its natural resources.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources currently works on numerous projects to restore federally endangered and threatened species.

Currently, Wisconsin designates 233 state-level endangered or threatened species, 15 of which rely on federal ESA protections.
