Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 16th of June.
Good morning, Appleton.
🏘️ Community
On Saturday, a Wisconsin family began a 163-mile Ruck March in Manitowoc to raise money for veteran support organizations.
The march, started by Cayla Gregory and her father Bruce Harned in partnership with the Marine Credit Union Foundation, will visit VFW and American Legion posts in Mishicot, Bellevue and Appleton before ending in Fox Lake.
The Neenah-Menasha Veterans Association held a rededication celebration on Sunday at Shattuck Park after finishing a restoration project that replaced the old memorial with 9 new flag poles—colored concrete medallions honor the six military branches—and a new foundation.
Over $175,000 was raised for the project, which took a year and a half to complete.
💼 Business
Marvol, a new restaurant, opened in Appleton as owner Adam Morty makes dishes and Patrick Frawley mixes drinks — photos taken on June 12 show beef tartare and an old fashioned —.
The restaurant plans to offer a creative menu to local diners.
📰 Economy
A report using May Bureau of Labor Statistics data ranked the 30 highest-paying jobs in Appleton, finding median wages range from $100,290 for computer network architects to at least $239,200 for top roles like nurse anesthetists and physicians.
The study aims to guide local job seekers with clear salary comparisons—providing hard data to steer career choices.
🏛️ Government
The Interstate 41 southbound loop ramp to eastbound U.S. 10/State 441 in Fox Crossing will close at 9 p.m. on June 19 as work begins to replace the concrete pavement under the State 441 maintenance project.
Drivers should use the detour by taking westbound U.S. 10 to Winnebago County CB — the closure is set to last until early August.
