Wisconsin's Weekend Morning News
Wisconsin's Weekend Morning News 6-23-24
[THEME MUSIC] This is Wisconsin's Weekend Morning News, with Liddy Collins. And a very good Sunday morning to you while, what a night last night. There was a lot going on, and a lot had to do with weather. So let's start off by checking in with TMJ4 meteorologist Brendan Johnson. And boy, that was quite a storm that came through. Yeah, a whole line of storms, Libby. And it was a really busy evening, especially for folks west of Milwaukee, because we actually likely had multiple tornadoes with this line as well. So some folks are cleaning up damage this morning. We do have about 7,500 people give or take without power right now in Walworth County. But yeah, probably one of the biggest music nights in the entire area. And unfortunately, mother nature decided to meddle with our plans. Well yeah, because you have the act going on at Alpine Valley. And any-- because I know around that Lake Geneva area, it was pretty heavy rain. Any indication of what went on around that particular festival? Yeah, so in and around Lake Geneva, we believe there may have been some rotation and some debris that was picked up on radar. We do know that three National Weather Survey teams are being deployed across southern Wisconsin today. One is actually going to be in Williams Bay. And they will be looking at damage in and around Walworth County. And then another is going to be headed into Dane and Jefferson Counties. They'll be looking at damage south of Waterloo over in a water town. And then the third team is going to be in Rock County in Janesville. And then they're going to head west into Green and Lafayette Counties, where there was also some damage. So it's going to be a busy day as folks are picking up the pieces. But we're also documenting exactly what happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, Brendan. But isn't the average tornado count around Wisconsin around 23? And we've already here in mid-June exceeded that? Yes, so 23 on average for the entire year. And before today, there were 26 tornadoes already. So we were already above average. And we are likely going to see more from this particular event. OK, now, after we get the reports from what happened yesterday, you've got your eye on what might happen on Tuesday. Yeah, so that's our next best chance of showers and storms. Today, tomorrow, you know, great days. We'll get some sunshine in here later. Upper 70s, a little bit cooler, still a little bit humid. But yes, Tuesday, what looks to be another active day for us across southern Wisconsin looks like, at least at this point. And again, this certainly can change. We're still a couple of days out. But a strong low level jet gets up and running late Monday night into early Tuesday. We could have a complex of showers and storms raised from north to south through the state. So we could be waking up, first thing Tuesday, to some really noisy showers and storms, and also some very gusty winds. We're going to keep a close eye on that. Those are systems that are notorious to change. Sometimes they happen. Sometimes they don't. And then that could influence what happens in the afternoon as a cold front makes its way through showers and storms along that. At this point, with it getting into the upper 80s to around 90 degrees, hail high winds going to be my biggest concern. But keep an eye on that forecast on Tuesday. That'll be the next best chance for storms. But today and where are going to be nice? Yeah, absolutely. Temperatures this morning, starting off near 70. Yes, it's cloudy out right now. Couple of very light sprinkles are rolling through the area right now. But by this afternoon, I expect at least in filtered sunshine. And then tomorrow, mostly sunny, highs in the upper 70s. So it's cooler. Still do points around 60s, so still a little bit on the humid side. And then we'll look for that storm chance on Tuesday. We'll enjoy today and tomorrow. And I know you'll have your eye out on what's going to happen on Tuesday at TMJ4. Brennan, as always, it's great to have you here. Thanks, Libby. Good to talk to you. Take care. Have a great day. It's 8/12 on WTMJ. We've got a very busy show ahead. Summerfest last night. Yeah, if you were out there, it did rain. But there was a celebrity. Not just on stage, but somebody else who was there watching one of the performers. And Matt Miller is going to be with us a little bit later on to talk about that. Also, as you're looking for things to do around summer, especially if you've got somebody in your family who is a young adult with special needs. Well, there is a special program going on through the JCC Rainbow Day Camp that we're going to tell you all about. And it's a good one, so you'll want to hear about that. Also, as Brennan was just saying, weather's getting pretty nice. But you know, we've got the 4th of July coming up in less than, what, 10 days? And between the heat that we've been having and the upcoming fireworks, we have some tips for you for your pets during these summer months, and especially with the 4th of July. Also, our consumer expert, Michelle Ryan, and it's going to be here. She says some small businesses are getting phone calls from somebody claiming to be from the Public Service Commission, and that might not be the case. Also, Teddy Nykel from the Milwaukee Business Journal is going to talk about how unpleasant things have been happening between the communities of Mount Pleasant and Racine. Also, we're going to look back at the week in review. Isaac's here pushing buttons, Jack's in the news room, and also in just two minutes. It will be Jack Groun in sports right here on WTMJ. It's 71 degrees at 814 on WTMJ. [MUSIC PLAYING] Time for a WTMJ sports update from the Gruber Law Offices. One call that's all sports desk. It's been a tough series in San Diego for the Brewers, taking their third loss last night, final score, 6 to 4. But a silver lining, Jackson Merrill hit a three-run homer, stretching 440 feet. The Brewers still hold a commanding lead in the NL Central with a 44 to 33 record. Game four of the series will be today at 3.10. No contract yet for Packers QB Jordan Love On Wisconsin's morning news, former Packer Mark Touscher predicted his agents will pursue a deal similar to the one between Trevor Lawrence and the Jackwires. Five years, $275 million. Training camp for the Packers will begin on Monday, July 22. New faces for Marquette's men's basketball. The team announcing CJ Rivers will become an assistant coach and Bo Ziegler as program assistant. Rivers served as an assistant coach at Colorado State. Last season, Colorado had a 25 to 11 season and went to the NCAA tournament. And three-star edge rusher, Nicholas Clayton, committing to the University of Wisconsin Saturday. I'm Jack Grell, WTMJ Sports. - Thanks a lot, Jack. Well, we've got Teddy Nykel just around the corner. Oh, things are not pleasant. Around me, Mount Pleasant and Racine. We'll find out about that and so much more. It's all I had on Wisconsin weekend morning news, 67 degrees at 8.17. (upbeat music) - I'm Wendy Collins on Wisconsin weekend morning news. It is 818. It's time to check in on our Tri-County Contracting Hotline with Teddy Nykel from the Milwaukee Business Journal. And Teddy, it is now what? Only about three weeks away, the RNC and national media. They've been scouting. They're announcing their locations where they're gonna be doing their broadcasts. And what have we learned? - Yeah, it's crazy how fast it's coming up. And, yeah, every day it seems like we're getting more details on specifics. So, Comedy Central's The Daily Show with John Stewart will be broadcasting from the Marcus Center. And their show will be on July 18, which is the last night of the convention. And then Fox News Network will be broadcasting from Gather, which is the space above Good City Brewing in the Deer District, near Pfizer Forum. And they are gonna create a set at that location and they'll be hosting multiple shows during the convention. So, those are kind of the latest media announcements we received this week. - And The Daily Show, I guess it's all four shows that week are gonna be broadcasting, but John Stewart'll be doing a live show on that Thursday. And people can get tickets for these. - Yeah, I was surprised to see that. Apparently, anyone can attend if they're interested, so that's a really cool opportunity. - Well, speaking of TV, Top Chef had its finale on Wednesday night and they named a winner. It was not Dan Jacobs, but still, this show has meant a lot to the area. - Yeah, I mean, we've always been covering this all season because this season has been highlighting, not only local chefs, but also local locations and Wisconsin food traditions and things like that. So, Dan Jacobs has been in the running all season. He's the co-owner of Dan Dan Restaurant and the Third Ward. He did not win, but he did finish in the top three. So, I think we're happy with that. He was a runner-up. The winner of this season was Danny Garcia from New York, but I didn't realize, apparently, Dan Jacobs has auditioned for the show 11 times. And so, it's exciting for him and he finally obviously was able to be on the show and did so well making it to the top three. - I couldn't believe it when he said that he had auditioned 11 times. - Right, I mean, this is the 21st season, so he's auditioned for half the season, basically. - Talk about a dream come true. But the good news is, this has really put a spotlight on the restaurant scene in the city. - Absolutely. And Ryan personally, he has a rare progressive disease, neuromuscular that he was able to kind of shine a light on as well and kind of highlight being successfully even when you're differently able. So, this is a great story all around. - Oh, I think we'll be hearing a lot more from and about Dan Jacobs. All right, let's turn our attention to Racine and Mount Pleasant, where they've got kind of a Bruaha ha-ha going on and it relates to Foxconn and Microsoft. What's all this about? - Okay, so this is a really interesting situation. So, the city of Racine, the supplies water to the village of Mount Pleasant, it has for 20 years. But with the Foxconn situation several years ago, they had agreed to extend water to the Foxconn site as well. Now that obviously, as we've been talking about, Foxconn has scaled back its plans and Microsoft in its place is developing a large data center there. But now Racine is saying we actually need to renegotiate this water agreement because we're not getting the economic benefits we thought we would with all the jobs that Foxconn had promised. You know, there's not as many jobs with Microsoft, but Mount Pleasant is saying that Racine is withholding water service and not doing its side of the deal, not approving agreements to extend water to what is now the Microsoft site. So, they've been in this dispute. They both have their sides and, you know, a little bit locked in on moving forward. But as of this week, we're having a private meeting to kind of start discussing some of these issues. So, it'll definitely be an ongoing story. I think it's kind of early in the resolution process, but we will definitely be following to see what continues to shake out there. Obviously, it's a very key site for the region and you need water for a data center. - It almost sounds like a scene out of a movie where one community is withholding water from another, she can't get away. - Yeah, and of course, yeah, we don't get too much into the politics here at the Business Journal, but I think there is some political factors as well. You know, for example, the village president is running for state office. So, I think there's a lot of dynamics with this one that are very interesting. - I think you might be onto something there. All right, let's talk about the dynamics of Southridge Mall. They've been talking about redevelopment for a while, but they've just introduced a new concept. - Yeah, so the developer that is related to redevelop, this is a former Boston store at Southridge Mall in Greendale. And the developer that did the couture downtown is developing this, so Barretlow Visionary Development. They in 2021 released a plan that was gonna have up to almost 800 apartments and 50,000 square feet of retail, but there's been numerous disputes related to other owners of different portions of the mall that has kind of held up this process. So now, three years later, they released a new plan that is a bit smaller, so it's 675 apartments. So still a lot, but not that 800 that we were previously looking at. And then 20,000 square feet of retail, so about half the retail space. They said the changes are related to kind of addressing some of the concerns of the other mall tenants. So I think it's kind of related to resolving the dispute that has held up this development, but it's still an early concept. The village does still need to approve the plan before they can move forward. So we'll see if this is the plan that ends up moving forward and coming to fruition on that former Boston store site. - Finally, Teddy, the last location of a popular area restaurant has closed. Who are we talking about? - We were talking about Flannery, so many people might know it from the downtown Milwaukee location, which is near Cathedral Square. That closed last year. But the restaurant was still operating in Grafton at the Fire Ridge Golf Club, but as of this week, there's new ownership at the golf club and they are no longer having Flannery's operated. So they're gonna operate their own restaurant out of the golf club site and Flannery's. By all accounts, it seems like they've fully closed now with that last location now closed. So we are waiting to see their former building and downtown Milwaukee is still vacant, but it's planned to be a new restaurant called People's Park, which also has a location in a walker shop. So that's what is set to replace the downtown Milwaukee Flannery. As always, I know you are keeping your ear to the ground to hear what's going next at the Milwaukee Business Journal. Teddy Nykel, thanks for joining us today. - Thanks, Libby. - We had TMJ for meteorologist Brendan Johnson on about 10 minutes ago and he talked about some of the damage that was west of Milwaukee and they're checking on that to see if there were any tornado touchdowns. But the good news is, it's gonna be nicer today than it was yesterday. We've got clouds right now, but by this afternoon, it's gonna clear up, we're actually gonna have some sunshine. It's gonna be breezy and cooler with a high of 78, then tonight, partly cloudy. Down to about 62, tomorrow looks sunny and warm and 78 again for a high. Then as Brendan said, we've got our eye on Tuesday because if there's gonna be another storm, it's gonna be that day. It's gonna start out kind of hot and humid with a chance of some thunderstorms at a high of 87. Then Wednesday gets nice again, 80 for a high under sunny skies and Thursday, absolutely sensational, sunny and 73. Currently in Mackwan, we've got 66 degrees, Racine's at 67, Conamwalk has 65, it's 67 degrees at WTMJ at 826. (upbeat music) We'll come back to the second half hour of Wisconsin weekend morning news. I'm Libby Collins, I'm told this is Kippo campus, right? - It sure is. - Okay, well it's not this bad, I kinda like it. It's got a nice speed, you can probably dance to it. All right, oh, speed of things going on around Milwaukee. Well, the former president took over Racine this week, there was a tropical storm that hit the Gulf Coast and there was a violent stretch on Milwaukee roads. There was much more too, it's a weekend review, brought to you by Outdoor Living Unlimited. - What we do here is go back, back, back, back, back. (upbeat music) - Governor Tony Evers has filed a request for services to conduct an independent operational audit of Milwaukee public schools. - I've heard from educational institutions that wanna do good things, saying we just can't get access to talking to the right people at NPS. - We do hope that Milwaukee gets things figured out. - We have with us in the studio, the mayor of the city of Milwaukee, he is Cavalier Johnson. Senator Ron Johnson is urging you to get involved and tell the protesters, stay away from Pfizer Forum or at least use your voice to try to keep them in line. Will you become involved? - I've been involved, that's how the convention is here in the first place. I've kinda joked that the demonstrators wanna be on the stage in Pfizer Forum and the RNC wants them to be on the move. - The 45-mile-an-hour winds of tropical storm El Berdo are whipping up high waves in the Gulf of Mexico, but it's the flooding potential that has homeowners worried from South Padre Island to Galveston. - Hello, Wisconsin, hello. They say, "Oh, he doesn't like Milwaukee, I love Milwaukee." I said, "You gotta fix the crime, we all know that." You gotta make sure the election's on us, but I'm the one that picked Milwaukee. - A lot of detective determined, that was a lie. - You do not mess with Milwaukee. There's a report out of Chicago that says, "You may be overnighting in Chicago instead of Milwaukee." Is that the plan? - Well, they have probably, they think, because they have a hotel, they have a beautiful hotel, they're beauty as good as it gets, but I'm staying here, I was always planning on staying here. (upbeat music) ♪ Milwaukee ♪ - Nice job with the air conditioning. ♪ The heat is on ♪ - It's going to be a hot one today. - Tonight, very muggy. Tomorrow, I still think we have highs in the lower 90s. - We would say avoid the hottest times of the day, if you sure you're staying hydrated, alcohol is not good hydration. - Sending kids to the neighbors, I'm coming back loaded. - This is going to be about the heat. - Investigation continuing, following 16 fires in Milwaukee all Tuesday morning, most of them started in garbage carts. - That should be attempted homicide. - Fly ball, right center, back freely. - On the warning track, leaping any bullets! It's over! - Nothin' my hat. (laughing) - Danny, you are top shots. (laughing) - Little disheartened, I mean, it looks like Dan really had it. Watching that episode, it seemed like all the stars were aligning for him. - I'm disappointed because I thought that they had little criticism for Dan from Dan Dan, and they had a lot of criticism for the other chefs. ♪ Don't let yourself go ♪ - It was heartbreaking. - Dr. Joe Gao lost his job as chancellor for posting pornographic videos of he and his wife online. - What the guy, that's all I'll say, right? - How he's hoping he can convince a committee to allow him to continue to teach. - It's protected by the University of Wisconsin commitment to academic freedom and freedom and progress. - We don't want to be known as porn youth. - Milwaukee coming together to celebrate Juneteenth on the city's north side. - I grew up on 15th in Capitol. It's great to come back home and be part of this. - I would say that it's unfortunate, but unfortunate isn't the right word. It's infuriating. - Sheriff's Deputy Dan Hughes says a crowd of about 50 youth were gathered for a large fight after the "This for the City" event when a suspect, a 17-year-old from Milwaukee, fired into the crowd, killing another 17-year-old. - It's already gathering right now outside the church of the JZU to say goodbye to the late leader of Marquette University. - The hearse holding the body of late Marquette president Mike Lovell arriving in Milwaukee around 8 a.m. Thursday morning. - He always said he was not afraid to die because of his faith. - On behalf of our family, I want to thank you all for coming here today to celebrate Mike. - Summer Fest is finally here. - Thank God. - And we're broadcasting live from the fellow windows and doors of Wisconsin Mobile Studio. - On the first day of Summer Fest, it just gets me excited. How about you Amy? - Oh, it's so awesome to be down here at the lake and it's actually the weather is much better. (upbeat music) - A developing story, I-43 has closed in both directions from locust to Capitol after an officer involved pursuit in shooting. - Recklessness on the roads, a pregnant woman lost her unborn child, a teenager shot by police. - We are in law enforcement. We enforce the law. Police in the community is all of our responsibility. - What? - A week. - Suck it, show boy again. - For you, the song makes me feel good. - Ladies and gentlemen, the weekend. - And the weekend review is sponsored by Outdoor Living Unlimited. It's 839, 68 degrees of WTMJ. If you're a small business and you're getting phone calls from somebody saying they're from the Public Service Commission, hang up. We'll tell you why, right after this. On Wisconsin Weekend Morning News. (upbeat music) Well, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin is receiving reports of small businesses and property owners getting a call that appear to be from them. And joining us to set the record straight is Michelle Rynan from DatCap. She is our consumer protection, contacted. Michelle, tell us about this. What is happening? - Well, the Public Service Commission has received reports from small business owners and from consumers alike, indicating that they were set to be disconnected from their utilities. The scammer was demanding payment over the phone and asked for personal financial information as well. Now, when these individuals answered the phone, their caller ID represented that it was the Public Service Commission calling using the PSC's phone number on that caller ID. So this scammer was really trying to make this look incredibly legitimate by spoofing that caller ID. - So what should we do if we think that we're getting spoofed? - Well, like any utility scam where you think it's your local utility or Public Service Commission or even some other government entity, do not trust that caller ID because it can be spoofed. And in addition, don't respond to an unsolicited phone call where money or personal information is being demanded of you, especially if they're representing that their government entity and know who they're contacting, then they have that information. They shouldn't have to ask you to verify it or provide it by phone when they are calling you out of the blue. So please hang up on these calls and report them to consumer protection. - And let's give that consumer protection hotline. 1-800-422-7128. - It's 844 and we've got some clouds this morning, but this afternoon we're going to have some sunshine. It's going to be breezy and cooler with a high of 78. Yep, 71's are at temperature at WTMJ right now and coming up in just a minute, we've got chat ground sports right here on WTMJ. (upbeat music) ♪ We met the blue ♪ - It's 849, I think, I think that's SZA. Yep, it is Isaac, okay. Well, there's only one person we can talk to who knows about that. It's time to check in on our Tri-County Contracting Hotline with Media Critic and Pop Culture Editor from on Milwaukee.com. Matt Miller, Matt SZA was the big act at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater last night. And I know a lot of people showed up to see her, especially a name that we all know, not necessarily love. - Yeah, a surprise sighting from Kim Kardashian in the crowd, Kim Kardashian and Northwest, midway through the show, turns out they were there. They like made their way through the crowd, had a seat at the table, the kind of deck. Yeah, and I think everyone was really thrown off. This wasn't really something you expected that night, especially considering the weather. But yeah, she was there. - You know, she showed up halfway through the show. She didn't even come at the beginning. - Well, I think she came for SZA. I don't think she was there for the opener and stuff like that. - Well, of course, yeah, when you're Jim Kardashian, you only come for the headliner. - Yeah, and I think she was probably backstage, I imagine she was probably backstage with SZA probably hanging out before. Like, that's just, you know, me guessing. But I imagine she was probably, you know, hanging out there. But yeah, just a really big surprise 'cause, you know, Summer Fest, great festival. We all love it. But, you know, Kim Kardashian, that's like a Coachella cat. That's a, you know, that. - And that's interesting. And that's what I wanted to ask you about because the fact that Kim Kardashian showed up lover or hater, I mean, she was there. And obviously, a lot of people are talking about it. But does this put Summer Fest now in a little, well, a little closer on a level to like a Coachella or a South by Southwest if people like Kim Kardashian are showing up for some of these acts? - I don't think it's ever a bad thing when an extremely famous person is showing up in your crowd. I think it still definitely depends on the acts and the nights and stuff like that. I think it would have to be a more regular occurrence for it to become like a Coachella situation where half of going to Coachella is the star sightings and half of Coachella is the influencer Instagram-y moments. But honestly, I don't think Wisconsin wants a festival like that, you know, I think similar to the way that the Milwaukee Film Festival is a festival for Milwaukee to bring films we otherwise wouldn't have here. Summer Fest is a festival for Wisconsin in a lot of cases. It is a festival about bringing a variety of music to Milwaukee. And it's just, you know, it's cool that for this one night, Kim Kardashian and Northwest company were there at the show. And, you know, this was the biggest get of Summer Fest. SZA, Great Act recently, just a big profile at the Grammys, multiple nominations. She's definitely a star massively on the rise. And to have this get kind of get setted by Kim Kardashian, one of the biggest names in pop culture, is a great thing to see happen at Summer Fest. Another big celebrity sighting at Summer Fest is Dan Jacobs from Top Chef was actually working the Dan Dan booth. And I'm sure he has gotten everyone coming up to him saying, "Great job." And also, how did you lose? No one understands how Dan Jacob lost or more accurately. No one really understands why Danny won. Even several days later, re-watching that episode, the finale, I still don't entirely understand what Dan did to not win. It's very strange. It feels like the show kind of leaned on the cliches of what people think high cuisine is as opposed to what was actually the best food of the night. I think that's a little frustrating if you're a fan of the show. And especially if you're a fan of Dan Jacobs, it feels like the judges chose their favorite concepts rather than their favorite cooking. Yeah, it's interesting that you bring that up because all through the season they were saying, "Well, we're just judging you on the food you're making right now." And then all of a sudden, for the finale, it wasn't quite what they said it was all during the whole season. Yeah, it was an editing problem on the show's part. It's all like that. You know, there was probably a way to edit it to make it seem like the two were more evenly matched, but there was really only the one tuna comment about Dan's dishes. While Danny's dishes, you know, there was some undercooked lobster and there was some dishes that could use a little bit more seasoning. And one dish that the judges didn't even know how to eat, which I don't know, knowing how to eat a dish feels like a requisite if you're gonna make a dish. So it's just kind of strange that, you know, it seemed like Danny did not cook the better meal, but you could hear them trying to talk themselves into each of Danny's dishes. You could hear the judges being like, "Oh, he's doing such interesting things here." Well, that's really nice, but if the dish is flawed, then what are we doing here? Mm-hmm, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it was at Sea Air, got to all of them. (laughing) Sure, but the good news is, I mean, Dan Jacobs has brought so many eyes to the restaurant scene around Milwaukee. Absolutely, and I would be shocked if this was the last time you see Dan Jacobs on a top-shot season. They do all-star seasons where they bring in favorites from past seasons. Dan was one of the biggest and most beloved personalities. This season, not just in Milt, Wisconsin, but across the nation too, for a season that was pretty light on drama and personality, he popped. He was a character that people remember. Then you add in the fact that I think for a lot of people, he got robbed at the end. I think if they want him back for an all-star season, I think they would love to have him back. The question is, with his health, with all the things he's got going on here in Milwaukee, would he say yes to that? I think Top Chef would love it if he did for one of those future all-star seasons. Did I miss it? Because I know he and Michelle were in the running for the favorite that was gonna get $10,000. Did they announce that? I don't remember them doing that during the show. That might have been something they did on Peacock, maybe on the Kiss Show or something like that, the Dish With Kiss. But yeah, I know he was a finalist with Michelle, and I wonder if that's where they tossed him a win. Not that he wanted to've earned it in the first place, but I wonder if they were like, okay, he didn't win the actual show proper, but hopefully you won the fan favorite. Yeah, I've got to check that out because I thought, was I sleeping? Did I fall asleep there at one point and miss that part? But I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who didn't see it. You mentioned a little bit earlier the film festival, the Milwaukee Film Festival, and there was a movie that, I remember you talked to us about, at the time you were kind of excited about, and it's now hit theaters, and it really is an interesting film. Yeah, it's delightful, and in a just world that would become a little summer hit, it's called Thelma, and it is a movie about 93 year old woman who gets phone hacked or phone scammed, which doesn't exactly sound charming. There's nothing funny about that, but what happens afterwards is funny, yeah. Phone scanning, hilarious, but then she goes on the road on her hover around scooter to go get her money back from the people who phone scammed her, and it's super charming, super, like I think you expect it to be a little bit more sticky, it's a Sundance movie, you kind of think it might be a little too twee or too whimsical, but it kind of has this perfect balance of laughs and sincere emotion and genuine tension in terms of, you know, you're really rooting for her to, you know, get this money back. It's a really charming movie, and I really hope people seek it out, you know, they talk about, oh, they don't make movies for older audiences anymore, they don't make movies for adults anymore. Well, well, here's one, and I think if you're looking for amongst all the action sequels and blockbusters out there right now, if you're looking for something a little bit smaller for all ages, I think film is a real winner. - It's a Vendetta film on a scooter. - Yeah, it's like the beekeeper, but with significantly fewer headshots and blood splatters. - One last thing real quick. The Daily Show is going to be broadcasting live here in Milwaukee during the RNC. - Yeah, there's going to be a lot of stuff going on, I imagine that weekend, if I want to be surprised that some people maybe want to get out and go on vacation, maybe somewhere that weekend, just because between all the news stations coming in and the entertainment shows, and obviously the RNC itself at the middle, you know, might be a good time to explore elsewhere. - And the fact that you could get thousands of dollars for your home if you put it on verbal. - Exactly, exactly, there's money to be made to. - Hey Matt, thank you so much. And of course, you can follow everything Matt has to say in on milwaukee.com. He's always reviewing everything going on around the area. Thank you, Matt, for joining us this morning. - Thanks for having me. - It's 859, coming up after the news. Oh, it's our time of the year. - Our poor puppies. Mine last night was a little shaken by the thunder he was hearing, but yep, you know, it's only about 10 days away. You know what's gonna happen? We got a warning for you about it and what to do. It's all ahead on Wisconsin Weekend Morning News. (upbeat music) - This is Wisconsin's Weekend Morning News, with Liddy Collins. - And welcome back to our two Wisconsin Weekend Morning News. I've got Jack Brown here. - Jack, I don't know if you heard me talking to Matt Miller before the news, and we're talking about Top Chef and how our own Dan Jacobs didn't make it. We wondered about the fan favorite, which he and Michelle were up for that with a $10,000 award. He didn't get that either. Michelle won it. One of our fans on the tuck and text line, just let us know, poor guy. I mean, well, hopefully his booth is doing well at summer fast. - Oh, I think so. Just that cultural following that's built over the past weeks and months, it's gotta be a big deal to be out there, you know? - Yeah, yeah, well, maybe it'll help the restaurant. - Of course. - That the restaurant wasn't doing well before, but it should help it even more. All right, you know, this is this time of the year. I don't know about you, but I've got a dog. You have-- - I have a cat at home. I've had dogs with my parents all my life. Big animal person over here. - Yeah, yeah, well, my dog last night didn't like that thunder. - Yeah, no. - He was very close to me, and he's usually pretty good. I mean, he's not one of those skittish animals. He's pretty much just, no, I mean, he pretty much will sit back and go, "Yeah, okay." I mean, sometimes when it thunders, he'll just bark 'cause it's mad 'cause it woke him up. - Yeah. - And it's like, "Well, what was that?" But yeah, last night he was kind of bothered. And so, I'm sitting there thinking, "Oh boy, you know, it's coming up, it's 4th of July." - Stressful time, really stressful time. - Time of the year for pets. And that's on the heels of all this hot weather we've been having. So, well, I talked to somebody about all that. We're getting close to that holiday where there's gonna be a lot of fireworks. Joining us is Angela Speed with the Wisconsin Humane Society with some safety tips for us. First of all, we just came out of a really horrible, hot, couple of days, our pets aren't used to that in this climate, are they? - Dogs in particular, they don't regulate their body temperatures the same way people do. They don't sweat. They pant to cool themselves. And when we have hot stretches like we just came out of, even at the Humane Society, we're adjusting our dog walking protocols to make sure everybody is safe. When you're walking your dog, you wanna test the pavement with your palm. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their sensitive pop pads. And it's especially true of black asphalt. Side walks can be cooler. But that's just one of the tips that we provide to people who are out dog walking, of course, taking walks in the early morning or after sunset when it's cooler, shortening those walks, just doing potty breaks when it's truly tropical outside. But probably your number one thing that you don't wanna do is never leave your dog in a hot car. Even when the temperatures are in the 80s, but inside of a vehicle can reach 160 plus in just a few minutes, even with the windows cracked. And unfortunately, we do see incidences of heat stroke every year because dogs are left in cars. - How do you know if your pet, especially your dog, is really suffering? - So the signs of heat stroke, true heat stroke, include things like excessive panting, difficulty breathing. They might vomit or have diarrhea. They might be a little confused. They'll have a rapid pulse often. And if you check their gums, often they'll be bright red. Or their lips may look a little bit bluish. And do you see any of those signs you wanna get them to a cool place, don't apply ice? But cool towels and contact your veterinarian immediately. - Here we are, just a week away from Fourth of July, which is, I think a dog's least favorite holiday. What do we need to know to make sure they're not gonna be too anxious? - First of all, I don't know of many dogs that actually enjoy them. So if you're going to the fireworks, then you wanna leave your pets at home, where they are most comfortable and cool and relaxed. For dogs who are super sensitive to the booms of the firework, a lot of people try anxiety-reducing medication, thunder shirts, white noise in the background, turning the TV up, making sure all the windows are closed. If your dog is seriously reactive and anxious during the fireworks, you don't wanna talk to your veterinarian soon about medical options so that they can bear those fireworks comfortably during the Fourth of July festivities. - And I know every year around that time, you end up with strays because they bolted away from people because they heard fireworks and we're afraid. - Yeah, absolutely. Dogs often bolt, whether that's during thunderstorms or Fourth of July celebrations. So you want to make sure that your ID tags are up to date. Have your current information just in case your dog gets loose. And of course, if your pets aren't already in microchip, that is a great option as well. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice inserted between their shoulder blades and every single animal control facility, pretty much in the country. The first thing they do when a straight animal comes in is they scan for microchip and those reunions can happen so much faster because of microchip. - Angela, I know that you have a lot of pets for adoption right now. Sadly, a lot of people have had to give their pets up for a number of different reasons. How many dogs do you have at Wisconsin, humane, right now? - So at the Wisconsin Humane Society, this morning I looked and we had 96 dogs looking for new homes. It has been a really tough year across the country and in Wisconsin. If you've been on the fence about adapting a puppy or a dog, this is your sign. Look at your local shelters, your rescue groups, the Wisconsin Humane Society. We're just being a surge of dogs coming in as strays and surrenders, mostly due to economic conditions, to systemic issues in our community. People are really struggling to find affordable housing, let alone affordable housing that allows big dogs. And there's also a lack of access to veterinary care. There's huge veterinary shortage right now in the US. So there's a lot of forces that are impacting animal population but we have some of the most fantastic dogs available for adoption and we actually have a promotion right now, 50% off all dog and puppy adoption sees at the Wisconsin Humane Society. - Ooh, where can we learn more? - Yeah. We've got a Wihumane.org/adopt and look at all the wonderful faces and of course we have a ton of cats and kittens available for adoption to another animal as well. - Angela Speed from the Wisconsin Humane Society. Thank you for joining us. - Oh, thank you for having me. - As far as I'm concerned, it's always a good time to adopt a dog but an even better time when it's half off from Wisconsin Humane Society. That's great news from Angela. All right, coming up to 9.15 and in just two minutes, it's Jack Gowan Sports right here on WTMJ. (upbeat music) - Time for a WTMJ sports update from the Gruber Law Offices. One call that's all Sports Desk. Been a tough series in San Diego for the Brewers, taking their third loss last night, final score six to four. The Padres, Jackson Merrill, hit a three-run homer stretching 440 feet. Had a minute of Brewer earlier, apologies folks. An impressive performance from Milwaukee's Bryce Terang hitting a grand slam. The Brewers still holding a commanding lead in the Anal Central with a 44 to 33 record. No contract yet for Packers QB Jordan Love on Wisconsin's Morning News. Former Packer Mark Tousher predicted Love's agents will pursue a deal similar to the one between Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars. Five years, $275 million. Training camp for the Packers will begin on Monday, July 22nd. New faces for Marquette's men's basketball team. The team announcing CJ Rivers will become an assistant coach and Bo Ziegler as program assistant. Rivers served as an assistant coach at Colorado State, which had a 25 to 11 season last year and went to the NCAA tournament. And three-star edge rusher Nicholas Clayton committing to the University of Wisconsin Saturday. I'm Jack Grau, WTMJ Sports. - Did you say Jordan Love doesn't have a contract right now? - So last year he operated on a contract extension. They're trying to get him a new one to make sure he stays there long-term. But both sides have said, you know, they're optimistic and yeah, they're gonna get a contract. - $275 million for five years. - That's what Trevor Lawrence got in Jacksonville. And let me also add, he has one playoff win. I'm just gonna say that. - I'm, that's a lot of money. - That's a lot of money. What would you do $275 million, Libby? - I would be here. - Ah, by a radio station. All right, thanks a lot, Jack. He'll be back again at 9.30 with the headlights. Let's see, 9.19, that's our time weather-wise. It's gonna be pretty nice today. We're looking at sunshine as the day goes on. We're gonna get up to 78 degrees out of your full floor. Five-day forecast right after this on WTMJ. (upbeat music) - Well, it's a little bit cloudy early on, but by this afternoon, we're gonna all have some sunshine, 78 for a hot. Partly cloudy tonight down to 62. Looks like tomorrow we've got sunny skies. It's gonna be warmer, 78 degrees. Tuesday, that's the day that TMG4 meteorologist said, keep an eye out because it's gonna start out cloudy, hot and humid with a chance of some thunderstorms. They might be heavy, so watch out 87 for a high on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we've got sunny skies in 80, and beautiful on Thursday, sunny and 73. Currently, Elkhart Lake, you've got 63 degrees. Muskegon, a little bit of rain right now, 68. Lake Geneva, where they had some storm damage, especially around Williams Bay last night. 69 degrees and in Milwaukee right now, we have 72 at 922 on WTMJ. - The following is a paid presentation. Advice and opinions expressed during the Sunday sip are solely that of the hosts or guests at not WTMJ Radio or Good Karma Brands, Milwaukee, LLC. (upbeat music) - I'm Vince Fittrano, and this is the Sunday sip. We're talking home improvement today. And I have with me our great partners from two day painting. Garrett Martell is the owner of the company. Great to see you, Garrett. - Great to see you too. Thanks for having me on. - Let's first talk about this is the season for exterior paint. I'll start there and then I'll back up and tell my story because I had you folks out to do some wonderful work inside my house. But what are we looking for on the exterior of the home right now that tells you it might be a good idea to get you folks out there? - Well, the top things to look for are peeling paint, failed or cracking caulk, and rotting wood. If you fail to address these things and it continues to get worse, it could be a more expensive problem. Water could get into the home, cause more damage. So we always highly recommend once you start seeing that UK looked at. - And this is the busy season. You got room for some more people? - We do, yeah, we definitely got room. But yeah, this is the next six months is where we shine. - I'm gonna bring folks inside because I did something that I have never done before and I paid someone else to paint the interior of my house. And I think a lot of people are probably like me, Garrett, because you can paint. I mean, I can paint, I kinda actually enjoy it. The work that I had two day painting do at my house is extraordinary. I just told you, we had folks over the other day they couldn't stop talking about it. It looks like adults live at my house. The difference between a professional job and what I've been able to do is really remarkable. - Yeah, I'm glad to hear that. - Tell me why there's that difference. I mean, what do you all do? What kind of people do the work for two day painting that makes that difference? - Well, we have experienced craftspeople. They're trained to do straight lines, protect everything really well, do the right kind of prep, the right kind of finish where you're not gonna see brush strokes and lines and-- - You can confirm. - So it would work your crew did. We had the crown moldings done and other things. There's another area where there's just no way when I look at what they were able to do. - Yeah, it takes a lot of skill, especially on the woodwork on the inside of a home to do it right and make it look really good. - Another thing I enjoyed about two day painting on our project was I needed some light carpentry done. We had some ceiling damage in one spot. You know, because the team came out and we talked about a vision for our living space. We had this little half wall that separated the kitchen from the dining room, my wife desperately wanted that gone, bothered her from the day we moved in. What I loved about two day is we were able to work that whole project through you and through your team as opposed to bringing in outside people before we painted. - Yeah, we're happy to offer carpentry, driveover, pair, hour washing, all the stuff that goes along with painting to make sure that you don't have to hire anyone else. - The other great thing is having you in our home, I remember you came over, Eric came over, we later met with our personal color consultant as well, but having the team from two day to come out and help us, sometimes you don't know what you don't know. Like, I don't know is this possible. To be able to ask those questions and to have you, for me and for my wife, it was super important to know that she was being listened to, that she was being heard, and then that you were gonna help us work through, you know, what we were dreaming about. - Yeah, we appreciate that. We really do focus on the customer service and having a great customer experience. We think we have the best reputation of any painter within the area and the main reason why is we offer a lot of things that a lot of painters don't. So from the very beginning, our project consultants are highly skilled to recommend the best solutions, the right products for your situation, the right preps that are less as long as possible and looks as good. Our color consultants are very skilled to help you find the right vision for your home. We have active project management and they check in on the project very frequently, inspect, make sure that everything is going well and address anything that's not. And at the end of the project, we even offer free touch-ups for life. - John was my personal project manager and I recall him. You mentioned that making some suggestions real time through the course of the project. Look, we found this. You had said you wanted it like this. Come back and look at that again. Let's see if maybe we might want to do it different or we can do it how you had it, but like in real time, once the project got going to be able to have John there and take us through that and make some of those changes was really important. - It makes all the difference in a project. Most painting companies don't have a highly trained active project manager and projects don't go according to plan. Having someone on staff that is your advocate on the project, that is trained to make sure that the quality is there, that the customer service is there, that we're protecting everything that we need, that communicates throughout the job and it makes all the difference in a smooth experience. - Take us through the name, two day painting. I know not every job is two days, but you do throw everything you have at every job. - Yeah, we try your best and we never promise that any jobs are done in two days. We never rush a job or cut any corners so that they are done. But what we do is we cater the size of the crew and to the size of the job and work full continuous days until it's complete to make it as convenient as possible for you. - Talking with Garrett Martell, he is the owner of two day painting. You know, folks want to know they're doing business with good people, Garrett. I know there are a number of charitable efforts that you and that your company engage in that are important to you and to folks in the community. - Yeah, we really try to do a lot for charity and the community. This past winter we repainted HAWS, the local Humane Society. We did a lot of work for them on painting and carpentry and built a lot of cat shelters and dog ramps and dog toys. And we also painted over 100 rooms within the community for people in need. - How can people find you? - Check us out on twodaypainting.com. Google us or call us at 262-312-2182. - Hey, that's Garrett Martell from two day painting and should they tell him Vinny sent you? - Yes, he should. - Absolutely, I have more work for you. Oh, by the way, so once we get through the summer, there's, you definitely will be back to do the rest of the house. Really appreciate you, Garrett. - I appreciate that. - Thank you. - Garrett Martell, owner of two day painting. I'm Vince Vittrano, and this is the Sunday sip. - Thanks a lot, Vince. It's 928 on WTM drag. (upbeat music) And welcome back. I'm Libby Collins on this console weekend morning news. It's 936. Now, once I've left school, there are not many programs available for young adults with special needs. So it's great to know that JCC is stepping up to help and joining us on our Tri-County Contracting Hotline is Lenny Cass. He is the executive director of the Albert and Ann Duscher JCC Rainbow Day Camp. And Lenny, tell us about the Bonim farmers. - Well, it's a fun program we have out here at our day camp. We have a big garden area. And what we've done is developed a program for young adults with special needs to be employed and give back. So what they do is they work in our garden. Got a year-round greenhouse. We've got a big garden outside. And then they also get a chance to process some spices. But all of this is done and given to the Jewish community pantry or the Wizaki family sharing pantry or random lake pantry. So the goal of the program is to have employment for young adults with special needs and allow them to have an opportunity to give back. - What does the word bonim mean in Hebrew? - It means builders. And what they are doing is building a community. They're trying to make southeastern Wisconsin a healthier place. We all love to give back. And there's not a lot of opportunities for some of our young adults with special needs to do that. And that is what Bonim Farms is all about. - All right, well, tell us what a typical day's like for a bonim farmer. - Well, we've got two different segments of our program. There's the summer program where they're part of our day camp. And when they're part of our day camp, they're working in the farm for part of the day. And they're also having an opportunity to play as campers. Then in the off season, which is September through May, they come in on either Sunday or Tuesday afternoons or Wednesday afternoons. And they come in and they're working on the farm. So it's just September, they're putting the garden to bed or they're harvesting some fall crops. They're taking and dehydrating things. They're processing spices, they're packaging spices. One of the things that we found in some of our pantries is that they don't have spices to give along with the food. So we buy the spices and bulk, package them up and then send them down there. So they'll be spending part of the time doing that. Or we might be making cutting boards. Another workforce field, we actually take the young adults, glue the boards together, we run them through planers, they sand them, polish them up, and then they donate them to the food pantry. - Tell us about this one thing. This really caught my interest, Lenny. And that's a bicycle blender. Explain what that is. - Well, one of the things that we like to do at our camp is to teach all of our campers about soil to plate. And one of the things that we've come across is a blender that's attached to a bicycle, it's a stationary bike. And you put the stuff in and the young adults will be pedaling away and while that's going, it's making the blender go round and round and it ends up with a nice little smoothie. So it's a great opportunity for kids to try things they never have an opportunity to try in a fun way. - How do the parents and the families from Bony and Farmer's feel about this program? - I'll tell you, we get so many praises from our families because it's got so many components to it. It's employment for their young adults. It's socialization for them 'cause they come, there's 16 of them. So they're working with other young adults and then they're giving back. And then we provide transportation from the Milwaukee area 'cause we're located up in Fredonia. So it's a win-win for everybody. And I'll tell you that when their child comes home with a smile on their face and they say, "Well, what'd you do today?" We were dehydrating apples when they go to the Jewish community pantry and big smiles on their face. - But one other thing is tell us about Fresh Market Wednesdays at the JCC in Whitefish Bay. - Well, once a week, what we will do is take the skills that you can learn by actually selling and take some of our farmers down there and they set up in our lobby a fresh market so that our members can come and buy produce year round. We're doing microgreens in January and our young adults are learning how to do the money transactions. They're learning how to talk to customers. So it's all skill things that will work in additional jobs or they could just stay in our job. A number of ours is just part-time. So it's number of them have part-time jobs in numerous places, Goodwill or some of our other local companies that hire. It's a neat thing for them. - Lenny, I know there are a lot of families out there that have young adults who do have disabilities and is there a way that they can also benefit from this program? Tell us how they can get more information. - They can contact myself at the Milwaukee Jewish Community Center. The phone number there is 414-964-4444 or they can email me at lcast@facmoockey.org. The other thing that we're doing is we're working with area high schools and their transition programs. So those are the kids that have graduated from high school, but stay for a couple of years. They're actually coming out as a group and helping out bony and farms. So if somebody has a young adult at a high school and they're not involved in this, have their high school give us a call. There might be some opportunities. - Lenny, not only are you doing good, but I know you also have a great time at the JCC Rain Vote Day Camp. Lenny Cass, the executive director, thanks so much for joining us today. - Have a great day, keep smiling. - It's a really good program and Lenny's a great guy. - It's 942 and 72 degrees at WTMJ coming up. What's going on conversations today? Ooh, you're gonna like this and you know the guy we're talking about. It's all ahead of us. Come on some weekend morning news. (upbeat music) Well, I always love talking with our fellow teammates here at WTMJ and before hosting the upswing on WTMJ. Entrepreneur Jeff Sherman built an extensive online following through on millwalkie.com. He told me how things didn't always go as planned. - Early on, we did April Fool's edition. So we did April Fool's story on the Betty Brin Children's Museum and it came out saying that the Betty Brin Children's Museum was gonna launch a Betty Bar and we photoshopped a bunch of parents drinking and doing shots and the kids crying and running around and it somehow went out in the National Children's Museum email list. So all of these national leaders got it and they thought it was real. So I got a really mean call from the board president like just reaming me out and I'm like, okay, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. And then I hung up the phone and the marketing director called me after that and said, Jeff, I'm really sorry that had to happen. The other board's really upset but at the same time, we got a ton of coverage out of that and a lot of people are mentioning our name. Do you wanna join the marketing committee? - I'm gonna turn the tables on the up swings. Jeff Sherman, when he joins me this morning at 11, for a candid WTMJ conversation, and wait until you hear the link between Jeff's grandfather's farm and Buddy Holly. That's, I'm gonna talk about that and so much more. It's all today at 11. Let's see, 9.45, coming up in just a minute. We've got Jack Growe with Sports right here on WTMJ. (upbeat music) Time for a WTMJ sports update from the Gruber Law Offices. One call that's all Sports Desk. Been a tough series in San Diego for the Milwaukee Brewers, taking their third loss in a row last night, final score, six to four. The Padres, Jackson Merrill hit a three run home, or stretching 440 feet. An impressive performance from Milwaukee's Bryce Turang, though, hitting a grand slam. The Brewers still hold a commanding lead in the NL Central with a 44 to 23 record. They'll try to prevent a sweep today with first pitch at 3.10. No contract yet for Packers QB, Jordan Love, on Wisconsin's Morning News, former Packer Mark Tousher, predicted his agents will pursue a deal similar to the one between Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jackwires, five years, $275 million. The Green Bay Packers training camp will begin Monday, July 22nd. New faces, former Marquette's men's basketball team, the team announcing, CJ Rivers will become an assistant coach and Bo Ziegler as program assistant. Rivers served as an assistant coach at Colorado State. Colorado had a 25 to 11 season and went to the NCAA tournament last year. And three star Ed Drusher, Nicholas Clayton, committed to the University of Wisconsin Saturday. I'm Jack Grell, WTMJ sports. Hey, Jack, do you ever go to farmer's markets? Oh, I do sometimes, you know, if my girlfriend and I have an available morning or there's a good one in my hometown, I like a good farmer's market if the weather's right. Yeah, there's just something about it and getting all those fresh vegetables and being able to talk with the people who actually grow them. Yeah. Well, our own Jessica Gazzo took a look at farmer's markets and we're going to tell you about that in just a couple of minutes. It's all ahead on Wisconsin Weekend Morning News. WTMJ, W277CV and WKTI HD2 Millwalk from the Annex Wealth Management Studios. This is News Radio WTMJ, a good karma brand station. (upbeat music) Well, Jack and I were just saying, farmer's markets are a part of summer and fall throughout southeastern Wisconsin. And, you know, there's a lot of different reasons whether it's getting those fresh, healthy foods or whether you want to support local farmers and businesses. But maybe, like Jack, you just like the ambiance and experience. What about a new concept? Will they bring the farmer's market to you virtually? WTMJ's Jessica Gazzo has the story. (upbeat music) Imagine a delivery service bringing groceries right to your doorstep every week, but not something like Amazon Fresh or Instacart. Picture a delivery of a large reusable bag with contents like lettuce harvested from Wisconsin soil, just a few miles from your home or bread fresh from the oven of a neighboring city. That service is Milwaukee Farmers United, an online farmer's market available to the greater Milwaukee area. - Our big picture goal was to unite Milwaukee farmers and make it really accessible for people to purchase produce and items from farms. - Shannon Dunn founded the service to be a middleman between farmers and customers. It started out as a CSA. That's community supported agriculture, a subscription-based service in which a single farm offers a weekly assortment of produce. In this model, customers purchase a share of the farm and the farm chooses the produce delivered each week. Milwaukee Farmers United now functions a bit differently. - You order what you want when you want. There's no commitment. So you can order every week or you can order once a month or you can choose to only order during certain times of the year. If the really beautiful benefit is our farmers that we work with harvest the food just a day or two before they bring it to us. And then we deliver it to our customers a day or two after. - The produce selection varies with the Wisconsin growing season, but other items are available all year. - Coffee beans, butter, eggs, mushrooms, granola, kombucha. The minimum order amount varies depending on where you live, plus a $5 fee for delivery. - We deliver as far north as Grafton, as far south as Burlington, and as west as Okonomoak Lake Country area. Or they offer five pickup locations in the Milwaukee area. Customer Anne Hanerhan picks up her orders from Cream City soap company in Wauwatosa. - Sometimes when you go to the farmers market, a lot of the vendors are already sold out or some of their best produce is picked over. So this is kind of a way once you order to guarantee that you're getting what you want to kind of plan ahead. - Hanerhan says she enjoys finding unique produce. - I had never tried Delicada squash before, or a few years ago they carried this turban squash that my husband and I were able to kind of make into a really cool soup. We also love the variety of mushrooms that they carry. - The online model is also a great time saver for farmers. Gwen and Hill Farm in Wauwatosa provides seasonal produce from root vegetables to leafy greens. Vegetable production manager Liz Lyons says. - As a farm, we're really busy growing all the vegetables. That's a full time job in itself. So they just provide that really great support and infrastructure to help get the produce that we're growing through more people. - Dunn says the online farmers market makes local food more accessible. - There are people that work every weekend. Or maybe less mobile, maybe I don't have a car, maybe I don't have a way of even getting to these markets. Or maybe I don't have time. - And what's the next step for increasing access? Lyons says she'd like to see online farmers markets adopt ways to help those with low income. - I know that's something that a lot of farmers markets do in the area, that people can use their EBT, their SNAP cards at a farmers market so that helps get more produce to people. - This summer, Milwaukee Farmers United is celebrating its five year anniversary. For WTMJ News, I'm Jessica Gatzo. - Okay, it's 9.55 and it is gonna be a pretty nice day today once we get through these clouds. Sunny this afternoon, Breezy and Cooler with a high of 78, it's 72 degrees right now at WTMJ. At 9.55, it's time to celebrate an everyday hero and here's WTMJ's Eric Bilsted. ♪ I've been drawn an every day ♪ ♪ Superhero trying to save the world ♪ ♪ They never really ♪ - Every week Wisconsin's morning news likes to recognize an everyday hero. The show defines an everyday hero as an average John or Jane Doe who had no idea when they got up one morning that they'd be saving a life. Today, we head to Tawila County, Utah, Middle Canyon. Some recent high school graduates had headed to a campsite enjoying their last few months before going off to college when they heard screaming coming from another site. - I kind of heard some help. We were kind of like, we'll skip close because people drive through the canyon and are doing all sorts of stuff. - So yeah, something didn't sound right about this though. The screaming continued and this wasn't close about 250 yards away. So what did these teenagers do? They hopped in their pickup truck and drove to that other campsite and they found a man who had suffered a seizure and fallen into the campfire. - He was laying on the ground, so obviously he was in distress. - The teenagers telling their story to KSLTV5 in Utah. They immediately got to work. - None of us talked to each other. - Yeah, it's all figured it out. - Everybody just went and did something. - Yeah, one teenager had started training to be an EMT so he checked on the victim, another talked to the woman who was with the guy and another helped bring that man to the pickup to get him to the hospital. The family of the man say he's okay, he's doing better and had he been taken to the hospital any later, there would have been a different outcome. The teenager's response. - I think we just did what anyone would have done. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It gives you hope, doesn't it? This group of teenagers thank you for being an everyday hero. Everyday heroes sponsored by Azure Memory Care and assisted living, transforming the culture of care. Eric, Bill said WTM's news. - Thanks a lot, Eric. I love his everyday heroes. He puts a spotlight on such interesting people. Well, next week Danny, Dean Kane's gonna be here for me 'cause I'm taking that Sunday off and I'll be back at 11 o'clock this morning with our conversation with Jeff Sherman. You know, you know him from the upswing. He's such an interesting guy, such a part of the community here in Milwaukee. You're really gonna get to know him a little bit better. So you wanna listen to that? That's right after the AccuNet Mortgage and Realty Show with Brian and David Wicard right here on WTMJ.
