TOWN OF GLENMORE, WI (WTAQ) - A woman is dead after a rollover crash in Brown County Sunday afternoon.

It happened just after 3:30 p.m. in the 5400 block of County Highway NN, in the Town of Glenmore.

Officials say a 23-year-old man lost control of the vehicle, causing it to leave the roadway and roll over. He suffered non life-threatening injuries.

A 19-year-old passenger in his vehicle was ejected and died at the scene.

The road was closed for several hours following the crash.

Officials say alcohol does not appear to be factor, but the crash is still being investigated by the Brown County Sheriff's Office.

Names have not yet been released.

BELLEVUE, WI (WTAQ) - The Brown County Sheriff's Department says it's investigating a homicide in Bellevue.

They say they received a 911 call around 1:50 a.m. Monday at 3020 Manitowoc Road for a fatal shooting. The victim is the home's owner, 52-year-old Suzette L. Langlois.

"We do not believe this is random and we do not believe the public is in any danger," said Chief Deputy Todd Delain of the Brown County Sheriff's Office at a press conference.

Delain says the State Crime Lab was called in to help process the crime scene, which covers both inside and outside of the home.

Martin Busse lives next door to Langlois' residence. He told FOX 11 at first, he didn't understand the gravity of the situation.

"There were no people around, there were no cars leaving, no tires screeching or anything like that so I didn't give it a whole lot of thought until the police came to interview me," Busse said.

Louie Kasper, who also lived near Langlois, said he spoke to her often.

"Her grandson is there all the time, she watches her granddaughter,” Kasper said, “She's a great lady."

Both Kasper and Busse also talked about Langlois love of motorcycles.

"I just talked to them yesterday afternoon,” Busse said, “we were just talking about working on my motorcycle and then later at night all of this started happening. It's just unbelievable."

"There's so many people going in and out of that place, bikers," said Kasper.

Deputies are asking for help from anyone who spoke with Langlois in the last 24 hours or know anything about the incident.

They are encouraged to call Sgt. Brian Slinger with the Brown County Sheriff's Dept. at (920) 448-4404 or if you would like to remain anonymous, you can call Green Bay Area Crime Stoppers at (920) 432-7867 (STOP). You can also text GBTIP and your tip to 274637 (CRIMES).

Watch for School Zone Enforcements

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The time has come once again to slow down in school zone areas.

Green Bay Area Public Schools will begin classes on Thursday and that means drivers will need to be cautious and obey the slower speed limits.

Police Captain Kevin Warych says compliance and safety are their key concerns.

"The number one goal here at the police department is to make sure every child, every crossing guard, every person walking their child to school is safe."

Warych says when it comes to handing out tickets or warnings, it comes down to the officer’s discretion on the individual traffic stop.

"Whether we achieve compliance through a verbal warning, written warning, or a citation, at the end of the day we just want people to slow down and be aware of their surroundings because people are used to having no kids on the sidewalk at 7:30 in the morning. Come Thursday there will be a lot of kids on the sidewalk and if they're driving down the road like they have for the past 3 months during the summer, then it's going to be a little different environment for them. We want people to be aware that there are kids and slow down."

The speed limit in school zone areas when children are present is 15 miles per hour.

DPI Eyes Computer Class Standards

MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) - While many Wisconsin schools currently offer computer science classes, there are currently no established statewide standards for what those courses should focus on.

Given the increased role of computers in the modern economy, the state Department of Public Instruction is looking into whether that needs to change.

“The subject area of computer science is booming,” says John Johnson, director of literacy and mathematics at DPI. “We have more and more students taking computer science classes. We certainly have a demand from business and from industry for graduates who are coming out of our high schools…with some experience in computer science.”

The DPI is seeking public comment through its website on whether or not the agency should develop voluntary standards, which would provide direction to schools on the key skills computer science courses taught in public schools should focus on.

Johnson says having such standards in place could help guide districts that don’t currently have courses, or that are looking to expand what’s currently available.

“In an area like computer science there are some districts that don’t have computer science classes yet, and there are many parts of the state that may lack the expertise to develop a kindergarten through 12th grade set of standards.”

The state currently has academic standards in place for 27 subject areas.

Plan to Notify Unregistered Voters

$

MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) - The state Elections Commission is set to consider a plan this week that would notify Wisconsin residents who may not be registered to vote

The proposal, which the commission will take up when it meets on Tuesday, calls for sending out postcards to about 1.4 million Wisconsinites who have a valid state driver’s license or ID card, but who may not currently be registered to vote.

“It’s basically saying our records indicated that you may not be able to vote, here’s a website you can go to…and you can find out for sure whether or not you’re registered,” says commission spokesman Reid Magney.

The outreach is required under a 2015 state law, which directed the state to join the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) – a multi-state effort to keep voter lists up to date.

Magney says the state has to send out a mailing to every voter with a driver’s license or state ID card that is not registered to vote.

Long term, Magney says being a part of ERIC will help improve the process of keeping voter registration lists accurate by tracking those who have moved in or out of the state.

The mailing will cost the state about $425,000, with a grant covering about a third of the price tag.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Officials at Jet Air are preparing for a busier than normal weekend as college football fans start flying into the area in anticipation for the Lambeau Field College Classic on Saturday.

Jet Air CEO Al Timmerman says many of those arriving will be from Louisiana.

"Most of the people are staying for two days because a lot of hotels have a 2 day minimums so, a lot of people are coming in on Friday and then staying Friday night and Saturday night and then departing Sunday."

On a normal weekend Jet Air can get anywhere from 20-30 aircraft using their facility, this weekend they expect around 100, which is similar to a Packers home game.

"It's what we anticipated and we expected this to be a huge, huge game so this going to be close to a playoff game for us," says Timmerman.

He says everybody that's available will be working Friday through Sunday.

Jet Air will even be putting on a tailgate party for the pilots that have to stay at the airport while their passengers go to the game.

LSU vs. Badgers kickoff is set 2:30 p.m.


Preparing For The Zika Virus

GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin's blood centers, as well as centers across the country, are scrambling. In three months, they'll need to start testing donations for the Zika Virus.

The FDA announced the change last week.

Right now, at the Community Blood Center in Grand Chute, donors are asked if they've visited South or Central America, or Florida recently. If they have, their donation is delayed in case of exposure to Zika virus.

However in three months, that screening process won't be enough. The blood itself will need to be tested for Zika.

Dr. Todd Straus is the Chief Medical Officer for the Community Blood Center.

"Tests for the presence of the virus in the blood by what's called a PCR reaction, preliminary exchange reaction, looks for RNA or DNA of the virus"

The test comes with complications. For one, the only test available is still in the research phase.

"So, technically, we will having to join a research study to implement this testing. It involves a little bit extra time with our donors. We'll have to ask them if it's okay to test their blood for Zika, they'll have to sign a special release, which will probably be a separate piece of paper we'll have to have them sign"

Staruss says another concern about testing for the Zika virus is the cost of the test for blood centers.

"An added cost for us, the hospitals that we serve and, ultimately, the patients that receive blood transfusions" 

Straus said the FDA's decision to make the Zika test mandatory across the county came as a surprise.

"The exact benefit of the testing, we're not quite sure what it is yet, versus what we currently do" 

However, Straus is quick to agree its important to stop Zika from entering the blood supply.

"We fully think that we need to make sure that we keep Zika out of the blood supply. We also need to make sure we're doing it in the correct way" 

When announcing its decision last week, the FDA said the nationwide testing was necessary because of how fast the virus is spreading. It spread from South America to Miami in about a year. Infected mosquitoes have been found as far north as Kentucky.

Digging Deeper To Pay For Services

KEWAUNEE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - Kewaunee County is considering a new half-percent sales tax.

In front of a packed room at the Kewaunee County Fair Grounds Monday night, residents heard about a proposal for a new half-percent sales tax.

Lee Luft, the Chair of the County Finance Committee.

"We're proposing a half-percent sales tax so what that means is on a 100 dollar purchase you're looking at 50 cents”

Luft says since the Dominion Power Plant shut down in 2013, the county has lost about seven percent of its annual budget.

"The revenue lost from the power plant was $740,000"

He added the county has already made cuts in departments and raised the health care costs for county workers, but he says it hasn't made up for the deficit.

“We've looked at every department budget and made cuts in literally every budget, there is not a lot more we can do without starting to impact that services that people need and expect from a county"

However, not everyone on the finance committee agrees with adding a sales tax. Like Chris Rasmussen

"I'm against asking the tax payers to open their wallets before we do the due diligence on the finance committee and as a board to look at expenses. Yes, we lost a significant revenue over the past few years with Dominion, but the 2016 budget has been balanced without that money."

Rasmussen says before asking tax payers for money the county needs to take another look at its spending costs.

"The issue is we need to take a look at our budget and look at where we are spending money rather than seeing if we can get more money from the tax payers”

Many people, like Peter Beane, at Monday’s meeting said they're concerned a sales tax would drive people away from county businesses.

“We're in restaurant recession, people are not knocking any doors down and then they have to start charging this. We're looking to get people to Kewaunee county and I think its shooting us in the foot on this”

The Kewaunee County Board is expected to take up the issue at its September 20th meeting.

BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - Officials have released the names of two people killed in separate Brown County crashes this past weekend.

The first crash took place on Interstate 41 in Lawrence around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. The Brown County medical examiner's office says 36-year-old Adam McMullen of De Pere died in that crash.

Sheriff's deputies say McMullen was driving the wrong way in the southbound lanes, when his vehicle side-swiped one vehicle, before hitting another vehicle head-on. The driver in the other 2 vehicles suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, officials were called to another deadly crash on County Highway NN in the Town of Glenmore. 

A 23-year-old man lost control of the vehicle he was driving, causing it to leave the roadway and rollover. The medical examiner's office says his passenger, 19-year-old Samantha Rodriguez, was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene.

The driver had non-life threatening injuries.

Both crashes remain under investigation.

Wisconsin-LSU Travel Advisory

$
0
0

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says drivers should expect heavier than normal traffic this weekend, especially Saturday.

That's because DOT officials believe that Saturday's Wisconsin-LSU game at Lambeau Field will bring as much, if not more, people to the area than a typical Green Bay Packers game.

This weekend is also Labor Day weekend, which means lots of people will be looking to take a trip. More RVs and motor homes than usual are expected in the area in the days leading up to the game; people traveling in those vehicles are being encouraged to reserve parking spots in advance.

There are also many construction projects that will impact traffic - especially along Interstate 41 in the Green Bay area. Here is a rundown of construction zones to be aware of:

Near Lambeau Field

I-41, WIS 172 and I-43 could experience significant backups near the stadium on game day, as could the I-41 interchanges at Oneida Street, WIS 172 and I-43. Barrier walls, orange barrels, and narrow lanes will affect travel. Due to the I-41 Project construction, Ashland Avenue through De Pere and Ashwaubenon will also experience increased traffic congestion as additional motorists use this as an alternate route. The heaviest congestion is expected four hours before and after the game, and Friday evening. Friday evening work commuters should strongly consider using alternate routes off the state highway system.

I-41 mainline

Barrier wall, narrow lanes, short merge distances and orange barrels will be present at various locations.

Brown County

  • Drivers will encounter 11-foot travel lanes and reduced shoulders in multiple locations along a 10-mile segment of highway. The speed limit is reduced to 55 mph between Grant Street and Lineville Road. Temporary barrier wall at various locations will cause traffic to slow.

Winnebago County

  • Drivers will encounter reduced speed limits on I-41 near the US 10/WIS 441/I-41 interchange. Drivers should also watch for reduced lane widths and reduced shoulder widths on northbound and southbound I-41.
WIS 172 and I-41/WIS 172 Interchange

Motorists should expect heavy congestion and potential long delays at the I-41/WIS 172 interchange and on WIS 172 in Brown County from I-43 to the WIS 172/I-41 interchange before and after the game. Motorists should consider alternate routes if possible.

  • Eastbound WIS 172 to northbound I-41 ramp is closed. Detour: Eastbound WIS 172 traffic seeking northbound I-41 will be detoured off at Vanderperren Way, take Vanderperren Way west to Holmgren Way, follow Holmgren Way east to westbound WIS 172 ramp and take westbound WIS 172 to northbound I-41.
  • There is construction at the on and off-ramps from WIS 172 at County YY (Pilgrim Way) in Ashwaubenon. This WILL back up traffic exiting WIS 172 at the Oneida St. exit. The ramps are open, but traffic is only allowed to go west on County YY (Pilgrim Way).
I-43/I-41 interchange

Brown County

  • The new system-to-system interchange is OPEN. Travelers can use the northbound I-43 (over the Leo Frigo Bridge) to southbound I-41 ramp to access interchanges on Green Bay's west side for travel to Lambeau Field.
  • Pay attention to new signage and lane configurations, as many drivers will be traveling the new interchange for the first time.
  • Use of this interchange is highly recommended as an alternative to WIS 172.
I-41/Velp Avenue interchange

Brown County

  • Full closure of I-41 entrance and exit ramps at Velp Avenue
  • Full closure of Velp Avenue under I-41
WIS 441, US 10 and Roland Kampo Bridge

Winnebago, Outagamie and Calumet counties

  • Drivers should be aware of orange barrels, narrow lanes, barrier walls and reduced speed limits.
  • US 10 eastbound between County CB and I-41 northbound is reduced to a single lane.
US 141, Marinette County
  • US 141 southbound is closed in the village of Wausaukee from WIS 180 to north village of Wausaukee limit. A detour using local streets is posted.

The majority of LSU fans and downstate Badgers fans heading to the game will travel via Dane County and/or Milwaukee County. Most fans will use either I-43 through Sheboygan, Manitowoc, and Brown counties, or I-41 through Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Outagamie and Brown counties, when traveling through northeast Wisconsin to Lambeau Field. Here are some potential trouble spots further away from Lambeau Field.

Milwaukee County - Zoo Interchange lane closure
  • I-41/I-894 northbound has a lane closed at National Avenue.
  • There are frequent backups and delays associated with this closed lane. Friday afternoon sees the longest delays often exceeding 15 minutes. Limited impacts to traffic are expected Saturday morning.
Dane and Rock counties - I-39 and I-90
  • Two lanes will remain open in each direction on I-39/90, between Beloit and Madison, during the Labor Day weekend; however, there are active work zones throughout the 45 mile section of Interstate.
  • Barrier wall, narrow lanes, short merge distances and orange barrels will be present.
  • Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and allow additional time when traveling through this area.
  • Backups and delays occur on I-39/90 northbound on Friday afternoons and I-39/90 southbound on Sunday afternoons/evenings due to heavy traffic volumes, especially during the summer months and holidays.
  • For any fans traveling during the week, nighttime single lane closures occur on I-39/90 northbound and southbound Interstate in work zones between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday through Friday.

The DOT recommends drivers plan ahead, use alternate routes and pay attention to information on highway traffic message boards. Residents of the Green Bay area who are not traveling or going to the game are advised to use local roads if they need to leave home.

For current traffic conditions, call 511, check the 511 Wisconsin website or use the 511 Wisconsin mobile app. Drivers should not check these sources while they are driving; check before leaving, pull off the roadway to check or have a passenger check.

MANITOWOC, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) - More scrutiny for the Steven Avery case.

Manitowoc county prosecutor Michael Griesbach is out with his second book on Avery. Griesbach says those who believe in Avery’s innocence following the hugely popular Netflix drama “Making a Murderer” have been jumping on his case.

“My Facebook page was sabotaged by those who disagree,” Griesbach told a Madison radio station. “Some pretty nasty stuff. It’s a bizarre thing that has happened since “Making a Murderer.”

Griesbach, a prosecutor in Manitowoc County, wrote his first book about Avery, “The Innocent Killer,” about Avery’s wrongful conviction for rape in the 1980s. He wrote his latest, “Indefensible: The Missing Truth about Steven Avery, Teresa Halbach, and Making a Murderer,” after watching the Netflix series.

“I started from scratch,” he said. “I’m a prosecutor, but I’m also on the Innocence Project board in Madison. I think Steven Avery is guilty.”

Just last week, Avery's attorney filed a pair of motions as steps are taken to try and overturn his murder conviction.

WATCH: "Drive for Five" Celebrates Donation Milestone

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The American Red Cross and the Green Bay Packers joining forces Tuesday to reach a target 5,000 pints of blood by the end of the day.

The "Drive for Five" community blood drive is taking place at Lambeau Field until 7 p.m.

Red Cross Regional CEO Patty Flowers says you never know when you'll need lifesaving blood.

"For every pint of blood there's a possibility that it could save 3 lives because there are 3 components in a pint of blood that we can use. So really 15,000 people could have a lifesaving procedure and it could be because of your pint of blood."

Flowers says they have to continually replenish their blood supply because it has a shelf life. According to www.americanredcross.org, red cells have a shelf life of 42 days and stored at a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius.

"A bad car accident or something like that, you can have someone that needs over 100 pints of blood. That's a lot of blood that's needed at that time. We want to make sure that it's there for that person," says Flowers.

At the beginning of the day they only had 300 pints to go before reaching the target.

Packers CEO Mark Murphy attended the event.

The Packers have been hosting staff blood drives since 2003 and community blood drives since 2009, welcoming more than 2,000 different donors over the last 14 years.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - While investigators continue to search for a suspect in the murder of Suzette Langlois this week in Bellevue, another murder case continues as a family awaits answers.

Back in May, the body of Nicole VanderHeyden was found in a field on Hoffman Road, which is also in Bellevue.

"It's only three months after and it's still so hard to accept what's happening," Vicki Meyer, mother of Nicole VanderHeyden, told FOX 11.

"It's insanely hard. There's tons of ups and downs just trying to keep our heads up and try to keep busy with our own lives," said Heather Meyer, VanderHeyden's sister.

Just 48 hours after her body was found, officials made an arrest in VanderHeyden's murder. However, there wasn't enough evidence for prosecutors to file charges.

"We have no answers yet whatsoever," Vicki Meyer said.

Heather Meyer said their family is still looking to raise money for funeral expenses and the 3 children VanderHeyden left behind.

"Just to help her kids give them the life she would have wanted and also towards her memorial costs and things like that," she said.

Next month, a golf outing will be held to remember Nicole and raise money in her honor.

"We just want her spirit to stay alive and people to remember who she was and how great of a person she was," Vicki Meyer said.

The golf outing in memory of VanderHeyden will be held September 17 at the Woods Golf Club. It will include a buffet style dinner, 50/50 raffle and silent auction.
