MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) - Chase Anderson is solidifying his status as the ace for the Milwaukee Brewers, turning in a scorless 7 2/3rds innings and leading the Brewers to a win over the San Fransisco Giants, 5-2.

Anderson has extended his scorless streak to 21 2/3 innings.

While the Brewers had problems hitting against the Giants' closers, they did take advantage of starter Matt Cain, scoring four runs in the second inning and one in the third, including a solo home run from Hernan Perez.

The Brewers have split the first two games of this series and start Jimmy Nelson on the mound tonight.

WTAQ coverage begins at 6:35 with the pregame show.

The 1st pitch is scheduled for 7:10.

ASHWAUBENON (WTAQ-WLUK) - Nearly 300 high-end apartment units are being proposed for a corner near Lambeau Field in Ashwaubenon.

Under the plan, four apartment buildings would be built on a more than seven-acre site on the corner of Morris Avenue and Holmgren Way.

The land includes DNR wetlands, meaning permitting must be obtained before construction.

Looking for a legacy project for his family, Case Wewerka tells WLUK he toured sites near and far before deciding the Ashwaubenon corner was the ideal spot to build high-end apartments.

“We're looking at a changing demographic.”

Wewerka owns a series of Automotive Supply Company stores between the UP and Fond du Lac.

“We're looking at millennials that like the new brewpub, the new vodka distillery, and the 55 plus will like the restaurants and bars and Kohler.”

Wewerka’s apartment plan calls for a seven-story building with 77 units to be built first for about $18 million.

Three other buildings would follow, forming a courtyard in the center of them all with parking and possible event space for an amphitheater.

The apartments would be a mix of studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom units.

“That's been an empty field for a long time and we finally got something going there and hopefully we can work through the DNR issues with the wetlands and get it moving,” said Mary Kardoskee, Ashwaubenon’s village president.

The project is in its preliminary stages, but Wewerka says he expects rents to be higher than other high-end apartment projects like the new Metreau building in downtown Green Bay.

Online ads show a one bedroom at Metreau is more than $1,100 a month.

“You're in an area where you can take your kids to basketball games, hockey games, the Packers Hall of Fame,” said Wewerka. “There are more and more restaurants around.”

Kardoskee says a needs analysis found Ashwaubenon could use 500 to 600 more apartment units.

She sees this project complimenting any housing that goes into the nearby Titletown or Legends Districts.

“I think it gives people a lot of options to be down in the middle of what's happening in Ashwaubenon.”

Wewerka's goal is to start construction by November.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - The intersection of Northland and Richmond, in Appleton, is about to shut down and that could leave hundreds of drivers looking for detours every day.

The closure will begin on the 19th. It's scheduled to last until September 1st.

In about 75 days there will no longer be an average intersection at the corner of Richmond and Northland, OO and 47 in Appleton.

The Wisconsin DOT is putting in a multi-lane roundabout, which engineers say will make the area safer and less congested in the long run.

But in the short run there are concerns for those who need to get around here.

It's going to be a tough summer for businesses near the intersection of Richmond and Northland in Appleton.

Avery McGuire with Merlin's 2000 Miles, tells WLUK.

"Most of our customers are re-occurring customers, but we'll see how it affects the person that drives by and thinks, 'oh, I need to stop!'"

Dozens of business owners came to a meeting with the DOT Tuesday.

The DOT's project manager Tim Rank explained the first thing people need to know before the closure on June 19th is how to get around it.

"On Highway 41 to Ballard for OO's detour. The traffic on 47 will be detoured to Wisconsin, to Ballard and around" There will be access to all businesses during construction, but Rank is asking those businesses to inform their customers.

"They can apply for some temporary signage in different areas to notify the public of different routes to get to them."

And, it's not just businesses that need to plan ahead.

First responders like the Grand Chute Fire Department need to make it their top priority. In their work, every second on the road counts.

"We do have pockets of property that surround the project area. So we wanna see how it's gonna directly affect our response times," explained Assistant Chief Mike DeBruler.

It's the department's goal to get to any call within four minutes of that call coming in. So they need to plan new routes far in advance of the intersection closing down.

"Projects as significant as this, where it closes a major, major intersection, we just want to be able to have a heads up and be able to plan accordingly."

The Grand Chute and Appleton Fire Departments will be helping each other out through the construction period.

The DOT will hold monthly meetings on the project, to keep area businesses and residents up to speed.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Another delay in the construction of a downtown Green Bay hotel.

Project officials say work on the Hotel Northland has stopped since the new senior lender will not provide the necessary funding to complete the effort until the lawsuit with the former management company, Provenance Hotels, is settled.

Officials note the $44-million dollar project is 75-percent complete and, at last word, was expected to wrap up by the fall.

The project has experienced multiple delays since work began in January 2016.

ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) - Construction has begun on the WPS and WE Energies new training facility in Green Bay.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Wednesday for the 32,000 square-foot facility.

The facility will be able to train 1,400 employees at a time from the Fox Valley to Upper Michigan.

It will include indoor and outdoor classrooms, as well as lab spaces to provide hands-on and practical learning environments.

Keeping employees up to date on gas and electric maintenance is the main goal of the facility.

"All phases of distribution equipment, both natural gas and electric," said spokesman of WPS, Matt Cullen. "So it really allows them the opportunity to be able to train efficiently and train a year round basis and not be subject to weather conditions."

Construction of the facility is expected to provide around 250 jobs.

It's set to open in March 2018.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) Some city swimming pools are ready to go but Mead Pool manager, Kyla Brown, says they have been struggling to find people who are certified lifeguards.

Brown says the shortage is affecting their shifts.

"Basically if we're short with guards, we just have to work more hours. It can be kind of tough sometimes", Brown tells FOX 11.

Brown says they also shift lifeguards from one pool to another, "for now we're doing pretty good because we got some working at Erb once it opens up too".

Green Bay recreation supervisor, Anne Moeller, says they have a similar problem this summer.

"It's state mandated. So, we have to have a certain amount of lifeguards to operate", Moeller says.

Moeller says it's important to be fully staffed otherwise they will have to close some sections of the pool.

Moeller also adds, "We have a few opening yet this summer, so we are looking for anyone who has that lifeguard certification to apply. We hire and train throughout the summer."

Green Bay pools open Saturday.

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) - As part of a post-conviction motion filed Wednesday, Steven Avery's attorney is asking for a brain fingerprint test to be allowed as evidence.

Seattle neuroscientist Lawrence Farwell is the inventor of brain fingerprinting. It's been used by the FBI, CIA, and US Navy.

“Brain fingerprinting is a scientific technique for detecting concealed information stored in the brain by measuring brainwaves,” Farwell tells FOX 11.

During the test, information is presented on a computer screen. The brain's response to the information is then measured.

“We can tell what a person knows or does not know,” said Farwell. “So, we can test if a person knows the details about a murder that would be known only to the perpetrator and investigators.”

Farwell says the difficulty in using brain fingerprinting for someone convicted of a crime, like Avery, is they learned most of the crime's evidence during trial.

“We need to find new information,” said Farwell.

In the new motion, Avery's attorney, Kathleen Zellner, states new evidence, bloodstain analysis, was used in a brain fingerprint test of Avery.

The motion states bloodstains show Teresa Halbach was attacked behind her car and the cargo door was open when she was attacked.

Zellner says that information was never shared with Avery before his test.

The determination computed by the brain fingerprinting system shows that information was absent from Avery's brain with a statistical confidence of 99.9 percent.

“There is no such thing as 100 percent in science, so we say over 99 percent accurate or less than one percent error rate,” said Farwell.

Farwell says no one has ever beat a brain fingerprint test.

In fact, he is offering $100,000 to anyone that can.

There isn't a lot of precedence for using brain fingerprinting in court.

It's only been used in one murder case.

That was a 2001 Iowa case, where the man convicted of the crime was eventually exonerated after serving 25 years in prison.

A judge will decide if the testing, or any part of Avery’s new motion, will be allowed to be heard.

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - Six Oshkosh residents have been arrested following a police investigation into a shooting early Friday.

GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) - Three people have been injured in a four-vehicle accident in Grand Chute.  

Grand Chute Police says it happened at 12:07 pm Thursday on the Highway 41 southbound ramp to Wisconsin Avenue.  

Officer Travis Waas notes the chain-reaction crash was started by an elderly female driver.

"As she was approaching the intersection, where there was a red light, she believed she hit the brake, vehicle wasn't stopping, she thought her brakes went out.  That's when she struck the first vehicle, pushing that into the vehicle that was stopped in front of that vehicle."  

"She then went to the right of those vehicles, hopped the curb, and hit the traffic standard (light), knocked that traffic standard over. That fell onto the fourth vehicle that was involved."  

"She continued through the intersection.  On the opposite end of the intersection, she hit a second traffic standard, before she went into the ditch, where she ultimately came to rest."

Waas says the officers at the scene took action.

"The elderly female was issued a citation for failing to keep her vehicle under control.  Speaking with the investigating officer, it looks like that she was possibly just mistaking the gas for the brake."

Two people were taken to the hospital.  Their conditions are unknown.

The intersection has since been cleared and is fully open.        

WINNEBAGO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - A June 21 hearing has been set to address a request for another delay in the trial of the 47-year-old Stevens Point man accused of initiating a deadly 2015 standoff in Neenah.

A two-week trial is currently set to begin September 18.  

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - Five people have been arrested on charges they sold heroin from Rockford, Illinois to Manitowoc County.

Officers say the arrests were the result of multiple controlled buys over a four-month span and the execution of search warrants at multiple Manitowoc residences.

On Thursday, investigators arranged the purchase of $2,500 of heroin in Manitowoc.  

A 58-year-old man and 47-year-old woman were arrested following a brief vehicle pursuit on South 21st Street.

Officers say they found both heroin and cocaine inside the vehicle.

A search warrant conducted on Manitowoc's Ray Street led to the arrest of a 50-year-old man, who police says was in possession of meth.

Another search warrant was executed on South 21st Street, leading to the arrest of a 59-year-old man on heroin conspiracy distribution charges and a 48-year-old woman for a probation hold.

Investigators believe the 58-year-old man is responsible for $135,000-$200,000 worth of Manitowoc County heroin sales over the course of one year.

Officers say additional arrests are likely.

FLORENCE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) -- A man is ok after a bear attack in Florence County.

The incident happened around 5 a.m. on June 2 in the Town of Florence, near Meyer Falls.

The bear charged at two people and bit one in the thigh.

The 64-year-old man had a couple puncture wounds and a small cut.

Officials say the bear wasn't much bigger than a dog.

"Although this is very rare, and it doesn't occur much, anytime that you're a wild animal, wild animals are unpredictable. And, if you do see a bear, enjoy it from a distance or if it starts to come towards you, make yourself look bigger, yell, wave your arms and attempt to deter the bear that way," said Kelly Crotty, A DNR Conservation Warden.

It's believed the bear was a mother, trying to protect at least one cub that was spotted in the area.

FOREST COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - Five children have been injured in a UTV accident in Forest County.

The Forest County Sheriff's Department says the 14-year-old was driving the vehicle and believe speed and inexperience are factors in the crash.

The investigation continues.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Get ready to sweat big-time as you pound the pavement during Saturday's 41st annual Bellin Run.

The 10k race weaves through the streets of Green Bay and Allouez starting at 8 a.m. along South Webster Avenue outside Bellin Health Hospital.

FOX 11 Meteorologist Pete Petoniak says temps will be around 63 degrees around 7a.m. and will be heating up throughout the morning.

"At the start of the race, I'm calling for 66 degrees for temperature. It will be a little bit humid...the dew point is going to be about 58; that's when you're starting to feel it a little bit."

Around 9 a.m. expect sunshine and 71, with windy conditions kicking in.

"As the day goes on tomorrow, it's going to become very windy. South-southwest winds will be 20-30 miles an hour in the afternoon, gusting to 40 miles an hour. That's going to bring up some very, very warm air. Our high will be about 87 degrees tomorrow with mostly sunny skies and we'll really feel the humidity kick in, in the afternoon," Petoniak said.

Although it's going to be hot and humid, Petoniak says it won't be as swelting as last year's race.

"At 8 a.m. last year, it was 74 degrees and the dew point was 66. I mean, that's getting in to the oppressive category with the dew points and the temperatures and it was 76 at 9 a.m. last year."

Petoniak says we can expect the hot temperatures to stick around through next Tuesday.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A popular race returns to Brown County this weekend.

The 41st annual Bellin Run starts at 8 am Saturday, with the 6.2 mile course (10K) winding through the streets of Green Bay and Allouez.

Assistant Race Director Linda Maxwell says drivers might see some longer travels times Saturday morning.

"We keep one section of Mason Street open, but the eastbound, East Mason Street: Webster Street to Clay Street is closed between 4-9 am.  We have Clay, Porlier, Eliza, and Webster that are closed between 4am-Noon."

Maxwell expects Webster, south of Porlier will reopen around 9:45 am, as will Green Avenue.

She says Libal, Irwin, and Garland will reopen between 10:30-10:45 am. 

The assistant race director notes there should still be access throughout the race on Mason Avenue and Riverside Drive, as well as east of Baird and Libal.

Reroute signs should be in place to help drivers navigate through detours.

Maxwell also has advice for runners on how to get to the starting line.

"I encourage using our shuttle system so they can go to a centralized area in downtown Green Bay.  We use the Main Street and Pine Street ramps, as well as the WPS lot.  You can park there for free.  We have two shuttle locations down there, they will all be signed."

Maxwell says the shuttles run every five minutes between 6:30-7:30 am and take runners directly to Astor Park, where the race begins.

"We suggest people get moving toward their corrals by 7:45 am so when the gun goes off at 8 am, we're all ready to go.  We do have a special situation for our walkers.  We encourage them to stay in Baird Park until all the runners go through."

While temperatures aren't supposed to heat up until later in the day, Maxwell says there will be cooling buses around the 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 mile marks.

"There will be a first aid station at every water station.  The first one is at the second mile mark. Then there's one right after the halfway mark, down at East River, St. Joseph's, and Baird, Libal there, and then another one up on Clay Street."    

The shuttles are also expected to run from 9:30am-Noon to bring people back to their vehicles.

Maxwell notes runners can register for the race or pick up their packets Friday from 3-8 pm at Astor Park.

While registration is not allowed Saturday morning, packets can still be picked up.

As for spectators, Maxwell encourages them to arrive by 7:45 am, urging them to be loud and supportive as they line the sides of the course to cheer on the race participants.

She notes anyone who parks inside the course will not be able to get out until at least 9:45 am.

Over 13,000 participants are expected to compete, with roughly 30,000 people on hand Saturday morning, including spectators.
