Good morning, Appleton.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin received a $250,000 grant from Packers Give Back to expand mentoring opportunities — the funds will support projects that create safe meeting spaces and enhanced programs for children waiting over six months for a mentor.

EAA will host its 73rd annual fly-in this July, expecting hundreds of thousands of visitors and showcasing historic aviation at Oshkosh & boosting the Fox Valley economy.

The event builds on a legacy that began with a small gathering in Milwaukee.

Last year’s report shows that 35% of Wisconsin households (about 58,000 in Brown and Outagamie counties) struggled to cover basics like rent, food, and health care; local advocates now push for a $20 minimum wage to help families cope with rising costs.

A warm spell has turned leftover snow into slush, forcing local snowmobile clubs to close trails and reduce winter tourism in Northeast Wisconsin.

Club officials say three to six inches of fresh snow with sustained cold is needed to reopen trails and boost business (according to club president Deborah Uhlenbrauck).

Three new candidates, all educators, are running for two open seats on the Kimberly School Board ahead of the April 7 election — they discussed fiscal responsibility and transparent budgeting in a recent Q&A session.

The DNR reports that Lake Winnebago's sturgeon population remains healthy with about 25,000 males and 15,000 females — nearly 40,000 fish — and the 16-day harvest season will continue or stop once safe caps are reached.

Warm weather is creating unsafe ice on Lake Winnebago as sun and heavy use damage access points ahead of a busy weekend.

Merritt Street Landing is closed to truck travel until colder temperatures strengthen the ice + officials plan to reopen it Friday if conditions are safe.

A Neenah family is urging lawmakers to vote on Gail’s Law, which passed the Senate and would require insurance to cover supplemental breast cancer screenings for women with dense tissue — a change that could help catch cancer earlier.

The Assembly may consider it Thursday.

Kewaskum's 21 year old speed skater Jordan Stolz, who won gold twice at the Milan Cortina Olympics, now aims to grab a third medal in the 1,500 race today.

He hopes his win will cement his place in Olympic speedskating history while following in the footsteps of local mentor Eric Heiden.
