Good morning, Wausau.

The Rotary Club of Wausau donated $5,000 today to the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin’s Emergency Relief Fund to support recovery in Ringle after an EF3 tornado on April 17.

A recent software update on newer Vizio and Onn Powered by Vizio TVs caused local antenna channels to drop — the NewsChannel 7 engineering team fixed the issue.

Viewers who lost access over the past week must rescan channels using Menu > All Settings > Antenna Channels > Find Channels to restore reception.

Local volunteers and businesses helped tornado-damaged residents in Ringle after Friday's storm; Harter's Fox Valley Disposal donated dumpsters & secured additional hauls with help from Mount Olive Lutheran Church.

Tornado damage forced Riverside Elementary to move classes to the Greenheck-Turner Community Center for the next two weeks, where classrooms, lunch, gym, and bounce houses keep students learning — and the center is closed for public use during school hours.

Legal Action of Wisconsin warns residents to research contractors and secure written agreements before starting home repairs following severe storms, as unreliable companies have a record of scamming homeowners; affected individuals can seek protection under state consumer laws.

Wisconsin officials are tallying damage from last week’s storms — reporting widespread wind and flooding impacts — as Gov. Tony Evers urges congressional talks to secure FEMA help within 30 days.

Marathon County, home to Wausau, and Outagamie County are still assessing damage.

Marathon County residents can safely dispose of unused medications at police drop-off sites on Saturday, April 25.

The locations include Wausau (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Mosinee (8 a.m. to noon), Kronenwetter, and Mountain Bay in Rothschild (both open 24/7).

DHS announced it will invest $31 million from opioid settlement funds to expand prevention, treatment and recovery services statewide (including $9 million for Tribal nations and funds for law enforcement grants).

It will be featured at the Substance Use Summit, Aug. 5-6, in Green Bay and online.
