A century of quality reporting continues on Whby with the
latest from the Omniglass and Pain News Center.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Good morning, it's thirty seven degrees at five oh four,
I'm landing more. One of the more confusing intersections in
the Nina Manasha area may be redesigned. A feasibility study
shows installation of a roundabout maybe the best way to
improve traffic flow at the five way intersection of Nicolay Boulevard,
Washington Avenue, Sandford Street, and First Street. Nasha Public Works
Director James Merten says a traffic circle there would reduce

(00:31):
weight times on each street by more than sixty percent.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
If you put a roundabout here, you'll be able to
greatly improve traffic flow through these intersections pretty significantly and
be able to account for future development if it occurs
on Dodie Island.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Because the intersection lies on the border of Nina and Manasha,
both cities would have to approve the roundabout project and
share whatever costs are not covered by the state. No
One is heard in a Grand shoot explosion. The blast
happened just after eight o'clock Thursday morning in the three
thousand block of West Highland View Drive. Shrapnel from what
appeared to be a storage tank was found in neighboring yards.

(01:06):
The cause of the explosion is under investigation. The Kircano
Police Department says it is reviewing its policies after an
officer reportedly dumped a runaway cat in a field instead
of taking it to a shelter. An officer was called
to pick up the cat, named Walter, last weekend. The
officer told the man who found the cat that it
would be taken to a local animal shelter, but when
the owner went to claim Walter on Monday, the shelter

(01:28):
informed her the fee line had not been brought there.
The cat was later found in a field. City ordnance
requires police to keep any stray animals in a suitable
animal pound for at least seven days. Appleton police arrest
a man accused of sending men he met on a
dating app to a stranger's house. According to a police report,
Matthew Hibbischman would connect with men on the app Grinder,

(01:49):
directing those men to a house where he did not
live and telling them to just walk inside. Hibbischman would
reportedly position himself near the house and watch the men enter.
That is where he was arrested on two state criminal
charges are pending. Green Bay Police are searching for a
suspect in an alleged shooting incidents. Officers were called to
the twenty two hundred block of Imperial Lane around five

(02:10):
fifteen Thursday evening on the report of a disturbance with
one shot fired. Police believe they know who the suspect is,
but are not releasing their name. No injuries have been reported,
and with information should contact green Bay Police. Local pantries
are preparing for an increase in food chairs and rollees.
Craig Robbins is the executive director at Poll's Pantry in
Green Bay.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
We don't know if it'll be an extra twenty people
a day or an extra one hundred people a day,
so either way we have planned and are ready to
handle whatever comes our way.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Funding for the food chairs program will be suspended on
Saturday because of the federal government shutdown. More than seven
hundred thousand Wisconsin residents receive benefits through that program. The
daughter of comedian Rosie O'Donnell is in prison after violating
the terms of her parole on drug charges. Chelsea O'Donnell
of Niagara was sentenced to probation following her procession and
maintaining a drug trafficking place convictions in Marinett and Oconto Counties.

(03:08):
Last year, she was also enrolled in a drug treatment court,
but reportedly violated the terms of that program in order
to spend a year in prison. Farmers need to be
checking runoff risk before spreading manure. Reporter Shaw Maloney has more.
The Department of agg Trade and Consumer Protection is encouraging
farmers to use the Runoff Risk Advisory Tool, which helps
determine the potential for manure runoff from a field depending
