Local News

FEMA Disaster Recovery Center

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is opening a disaster recovery center in Oshkosh.  South Park Middle School will serve as the site of the center, which allows home and business owners who sustained flood damage to meet with a FEMA representative in person.  The center will be open from 10:00am to 7:00pm everyday until further notice.  Residents are encouraged to bring any receipts relating to the flood with them.  It also helps if a claim has already been filed with FEMA over the phone at 1-800-621-FEMA or online at www.fema.gov.  Residents from any county declared a disaster county can get help at the recovery center, including Winnebago, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Dodge, Calumet, Adams and 22 other counties.

Altman New Head of Business Services

The Oshkosh School Board has chosen a new executive director of business services.  Scott Altmann, who has been the district's controller since 1999, will be promoted to the position on July 9.  He replaces Todd Gray, who recently left Oshkosh to become superintendent of the Waukesha School District.

LeSage Hearing Delayed

A former UW-Oshkosh employee accused of trading child pornography wants more time to consider a plea deal from prosecutors.  Craig LeSage has until July 9 to decide if he will accept the offer or go to trial.  LeSage is facing charges of transporting and possessing images of child porn.  He has since retired from his maintenance position at UW-O.  If convicted, he would face up to 30-years in prison.

No Wake Lifted

The Outagamie County Sheriff's Department has lifted the "no wake" order on the Fox River.  Water levels and current strength have diminished this week, making the river safe enough for faster boat travel.

Osprey Comes to Oshkosh

The controversial V-22 Osprey airplane will be coming to Oshkosh this month.  The Osprey will be at the EAA AirVenture from July 28 through August 3.  The Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft, which allows it to take off vertically, then fly forward like a regular airplane.  The Osprey has been plagued by crashes since it joined the Marine Corps in 1989, and some in Congress have called for it to be grounded and funding for it ended.

Goodwill Layoffs

Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin is laying off employees.  Twelve workers at their facilities in Menasha and Appleton will lose their jobs.  Goodwill blames slow sales caused by bad weather this winter and spring.  

Light Parade

The annual 4th of July Light Parade winds through Neenah and Menasha tonight.  The annual parade features lighted floats.  It starts at 8:00 at the corner of 8th and Milwaukee Streets in Menasha and heads south into Neenah, ending at St. Patrick's Church.
