Good morning, Appleton.

Dairy brand Kemps donated nearly 800,000 milk cartons in 2025 to food banks across the Midwest to help fight rising food costs—Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin received over 30,000 cartons on Wednesday.

The 'Giving Cow' cartons are designed to meet food bank needs when proper refrigeration is a challenge.

78-year-old Rosalie Polsin of Weyauwega had her bond set at $100,000 after being charged with Homicide by Negligent Operation of a Vehicle in a wrong-way crash on I-41 in November that killed 27-year-old Austin Luehring, and she will return to court on August 29.

Officials at Fox Cities Performing Arts Center are filming a new sensory-inclusive video and invite Appleton residents to volunteer as extras—volunteers must dress as if attending an event and will work Tuesday, June 17, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.—and they will receive free food, drinks and professional headshots.

Appleton Area School District’s free summer meals program is underway, serving breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday at selected schools until July 3 (for example, at Badger and Colombus) and local families do not need to register.

The program ensures that children have access to nutritious meals during the summer break.

Appleton’s Parks and Recreation Committee approved a plan to rename Appleton Memorial Park to Veterans Memorial Park; the proposal calls for new military memorials and relocating existing ones.

The full Common Council will vote on the plan next week—some locals worry there is already a park with that name in the Fox Cities.
