That’s according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the federal government’s lead agency for addressing marine debris. NOAA calls fishing nets that haven’t been properly disposed of “ghost” nets because they continue to fish even though they are no longer under the control of a fisher.
All fishing-gear debris has the potential to cause serious problems for wildlife and boat propellers. Even if placed in the trash, birds often take the nets or fishing line from open bins and become entangled.....

WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO
PLYMOUTH -- What if Tyler Luedtke, now 23, bought the Sir Lanserlot Golf Course in Plymouth? He's from the area and played that course as a kid. And about a year and a half ago while he was at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, he floated the idea to a friend.
"Wow, wouldn’t this be awesome — to give this a shot?" he asked. "And sure enough, about a year later it was for sale. (I) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to give it a shot."
Dale Lanser, who owned the Sheboygan County course for 16 years, sold it to Luedtke in June for $1.6 million, the Sheboygan Press reported last month...

MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
When Steve Johnson looks over his vineyard in Door County, he sees the future. His dream is a growing goal, literally. He wants to make world class wines right here in Wisconsin, using only grapes grown here.
That means at Parallel 44 in Kewaunee and Door 44 Winery and Vineyard in Sturgeon Bay they’re using cold hardy grapes that might not be as well known to consumers, including Frontenac, Petite Pearl, Louise Swenson, Marquette and La Crescent.
Johnson and his wife, Maria Milano, both had law careers before opening the winery. They planted their first vineyard in 2005 and opened their tasting room in 2007. This year, he’s also working as president of the Wisconsin Winery Association and will be producing his 15th vintage....
