Drunk Driving Victims Recounts Accident on Community Comment
12/09/09 - A Beaver Dam woman is talking for the first time about a drunken driving accident that left her paralyzed and her mother dead. In 2001, while traveling for a family vacation, Danny Jo Thiel’s life was changed forever. Her parents and two siblings were driving from their home in Beaver Dam to Indiana when their vehicle was struck by a drunk driver just outside of Horicon. Danny Jo’s mother was killed instantly. Danny Jo recently asked her dad to set up a video camera so she could recount for the first, and perhaps only time, what happened to her that day and how it has affected her life. During a special Community Comment Wednesday afternoon we will share with you that 17-minute conversation and also talk to her father Dan Thiel about the road his family has traveled since the accident. Community Comment begins at 12:35pm on WBEV 1430AM.
Snow Hampers Late Corn Harvest
12/09/09 - Thanks to an unusually wet October, farmers had been scrambling to harvesting corn before the snow piles up. Dodge County UW-Extension Crops and Soils Agent Matt Hanson says all this snow is holding-up the harvest once again. Hanson says while around 80% of corn has already been harvested in Dodge County, and many farmers are done with both corn and soybeans, but there is still a fair amount of corn standing in the fields. He says the biggest concern at this point is lodging, the corn falling over because of the weight of the snow and high winds, and will likely lead to greater than expected losses. He says the snow itself could make it difficult to get into the fields, but the wind could be an even bigger problem. Typically, farmers expect about a five to 10 percent field loss. This year, they could be looking at a loss closer to 15 to 20 percent. Hanson says the corn can still be harvested in the spring for use as a dry grain.
Deer Herd Meeting Postponed
12/09/09 - Wisconsin deer hunters have to wait a month to tell the Natural Resources Board what they think about state rules on their sport. The board was to have met Tuesday in Madison to review the preliminary numbers from this year's harvest at the nine-day gun hunt. The meeting was called off because of the weather. The board says it will now take up the topic at its January meeting. The take was 29 percent less than last year, bringing on a wide-ranging complaint that the DNR her control measures have gone too far.
Uecker Stalker Shut-Out of MLB Games
12/09/09 - A judge has told an Illinois woman that she can't attend any Major League Baseball games Bob Uecker is announcing. The Wisconsin appeals court upheld a restraining order Tuesday. Ann Ladd of Prospect Heights, Illinois, had been given a four-year injunction by a court commissioner. Uecker said the woman approached him after games, hiding, then jumping out unexpectedly to talk to him. She once followed him to Pittsburgh, taking a hotel room the same floor as Uecker's and tracking him to the swimming pool. Ladd argued the restraining order violated her constitutional right to travel, but the court disagreed.
