Wisconsin adds 62,000
 jobs over past 2 years
Wisconsin wildfire 
started by logging operations
http://www.bluecheddar.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Dwd_logo_new2.jpgMADISON, Wis. - Gov. Scott Walker's administration reported Thursday that Wisconsin added more than 62,000 private sector jobs over the first two years of his term, less than a quarter of the 250,000 he promised to create by 2015. The Department of Workforce Development released the new figures, which can't be compared to other states until next month. Walker released the figures before they are published officially on June 27 by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Critics have said the state's performance can't be adequately measured until the yearly numbers can be compared with other states.

TOWN OF GORDON, Wis.  — Investigators say a large wildfire caused by logging operations in northwestern Wisconsin wasn't intentionally set and criminal charges aren't expected. The Department of Natural Resources said Thursday that negligence wasn't involved in the blaze, which destroyed 17 homes and forced dozens of people to evacuate before it was contained Wednesday night.

Sheriff: Ex-NASCAR driver 
Dick Trickle dead at 71
Pirates power past Brewers 7-1

CONCORD, N.C. — There is that lasting image of Dick Trickle in the Winston 500 lighting up a cigarette while driving his stock car with his knees during a caution lap. He places the cigarette through a hole he carved in his helmet for a quick toke and exhales. The green flag hits and out the window goes the cigarette butt and back to racing goes Trickle. "Dick always had a cigarette lighter in his car," said fellow NASCAR driver Geoff Bodine.

PITTSBURGH  — Travis Snider homered for the first time in nine months and drove in three runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates past the reeling Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 on Thursday night. Snider finished 3 for 5, including a 458-foot blast off Hiram Burgos (1-2) in the sixth inning that gave the Pirates the lead. The home run sailed over bushes in right-center field at PNC Park, bounced on a sidewalk outside the stadium and landed in the Allegheny River.

Cost of Walker's Medicaid plan increases Gogebic Taconite reduces number of test holes

MADISON, Wis. - The cost of Gov. Scott Walker's plan to reject federally funded Medicaid expansion and instead tighten income eligibility for the program has gone up. A new estimate from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau says the cost of Walker's proposal is $73.5 million more than when he released it in February. Of that, $52 million is directly related to the changes Walker is proposing.

Wisconsin DNR logo (properly sized)MADISON — A mining company has reduced the number of test holes it plans to make for a proposed iron ore mine near Lake Superior. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says Gogebic Taconite withdrew its earlier exploration license application and submitted a replacement application Thursday. DNR Waste and Materials Management Program director Ann Coakley says Gogebic is now proposing to drill eight exploration borings instead of the 13 the company originally proposed.

Organic industry clout 
grows with consumer demand
Walmart, Pabst Farms announce plans for Walmart, Sam's Club

WASHINGTON — The organic food industry is gaining clout on Capitol Hill, prompted by rising consumer demand and its entry into traditional farm states. But that isn't going over well with everyone in Congress. Tensions between conventional and organic agriculture boiled over this week during a late-night House Agriculture Committee debate on a sweeping farm bill that has for decades propped up traditional crops and largely ignored organics.

Representatives from Walmart, Pabst Farms Development Inc. and the City of
Oconomowoc have announced plans for the development of a Walmart Supercenter
and a Sam's Club in the Pabst Farms Town Centre commercial development area
Friday. "The 151,000 square-foot Walmart Supercenter and 136,000 square-foot Sam¹s
Club will anchor the western portion of the site that aims to attract shoppers from a wide geographical area due to a dramatic mix of stores, restaurants and entertainment," according to a news release.
