SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened to expand his nuclear arsenal and develop more sophisticated atomic weapons systems in response to what he calls hostile American policy. Kim’s comments made Friday during a key meeting of the ruling party were seen as an effort to apply pressure on the incoming government of President-elect Joe Biden. The Korean Central News Agency said Saturday that Kim says the “key to establishing new relations between (North Korea) and the United States is whether the United States withdraws its hostile policy” from North Korea. Kim says North Korea must further strengthen its military and nuclear capability as the danger of a U.S. invasion of North Korea increases.

Minnesota offering more cash for black spruce seed

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota’s black spruce seed supply is low, prompting the state Department of Natural Resources to offer more money to people to collect them to meet spring orders for reforesting. The Star Tribune reports the state is paying $85 a bushel, up from $70 last year. Black spruce is a peat-loving workhorse tree across northern Minnesota, and those black spruce peatlands are very good at storing carbon, a key greenhouse gas. The DNR uses the seeds to reforest about 6,000 acres of black spruce forest every year.

BEIJING (AP) — China’s highest-profile entrepreneur, e-commerce billionaire Jack Ma, has appeared in a video posted online, ending a 2 1/2-month disappearance from public view that prompted speculation about his status and his business empire’s future. In the 50-second video, Ma congratulated teachers supported by his charitable foundation and made no mention of his absence from public view and scrutiny of his Alibaba Group and Ant Group by regulators. The video appeared on Chinese business news and other websites. The normally voluble, press-friendly Ma was last seen in public after criticizing financial regulators in a speech at a conference in October. Days later, regulators suspended Ant’s planned multibillion-dollar stock market debut.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell slightly to 787,000, evidence of a job market stumbling in the face of the viral pandemic and the damage it has inflicted on the economy for nearly 10 months. Thursday’s figure from the Labor Department, a slight decline from the previous week, showed that many employers are still cutting jobs as the pandemic tightens business restrictions and leads anxious consumers to stay home.

The Latest: Biden committee to join National Day of Service

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Georgia Senate runoffs and President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration (all times local):
2:30 p.m.
President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural committee will be joining the National Day of Service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and is encouraging Americans to do the same.
The committee said Monday in a statement that it will “partner with service leaders, community members, and local, state, and national organizations across the country to organize events that unite Americans around service in their communities.”
It says events will focus on COVID-19 relief and challenges that have been exacerbated by the pandemic, including poverty, hunger and racial injustice. The event is Jan. 18, two days before Biden’s inauguration.
Groups are being strongly encouraged to hold virtual events because of the pandemic, which has transformed this year’s inaugural festivities.
Organizers on Sunday announced that Biden’s inauguration will include a “virtual parade across America” and limited footprint to avoid drawing crowds. The day before he is sworn in, he is planning to hold a memorial service at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to honor those killed by the virus.

President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden are traveling to Georgia to campaign for Senate runoffs, two races that could determine which political party controls the Senate.

US treasury chief visits Sudan after ending pariah status

CAIRO (AP) — U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has arrived in Sudan, the first visit by a senior American official since President Donald Trump removed the African country from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. The move was a key incentive for the government in Khartoum to normalize relations with Israel. Mnuchin is scheduled to meet with Sudan’s leaders, to discuss the country’s struggling economy. Sudan is on a fragile path to democracy after a popular uprising led the military to overthrow longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. Mnuchin’s visit is part of a flurry of activity in the final days of the Trump administration.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Public health officials complained for months about not having enough support or money to get COVID-19 vaccines quickly into arms. Now the slower-than-expected start to the largest vaccination effort in U.S. history is proving them right. State and local public health departments across the U.S. cite a variety of obstacles, most notably a lack of leadership from the federal government. Many officials worry that they are losing precious time at the height of the pandemic, and the delays could cost lives. Among other complaints, states lament a lack of clarity on how many doses they will receive and when.

Lawyers: Woman on US death row not competent for execution

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawyers for the only woman on federal death row are asking a judge to halt her execution and arguing she isn’t competent and can’t be put to death. Lisa Montgomery is scheduled to be executed on Tuesday at the federal prison complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. Her lawyers filed a petition Friday in federal court in Indiana seeking to halt the execution. They argue that putting her to death would violate her constitutional rights because she “has brain damage, severe mental illness, and suffered a lifetime of sexual torture.” Montgomery is one of three inmates scheduled to be executed by the Justice Department next week.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Many of the hospitals outside the capital of Ethiopia’s conflict-hit Tigray region were struck by artillery during two months of recent fighting. That’s according to the first humanitarian assessment of the devastation as aid is beginning to arrive with desperately needed supplies. The scale of the damage has been largely unknown while Ethiopian forces pursue and clash with those of the now-fugitive Tigray regional leaders. Transportation and communications links were severed. People who fled the region have told The Associated Press and others of looting and the burning of homes. The new assessment does not say who fired at hospitals.

MADRID (AP) — As a surge of coronavirus infections is once again putting Spain’s public health system against the ropes, an emergency hospital once seen by many as an extravagant vanity project is getting a fresh opportunity to prove its usefulness. The Nurse Isabel Zendal Hospital in Madrid was built in 100 days at a cost of 130 million euros ($157 million) , more than twice the original budget. As the curve of contagion turned increasingly vertical after Christmas and New Year’s, the Zendal has been busy. On Monday, 392 virus patients were being treated, more than in any other hospital in the Madrid region. Critics say the local conservative government should have spent the money on shoring up the public health care system instead.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A powerful earthquake has struck in northwestern Argentina near the border with Chile, shaking people in parts of both countries, but there are no early reports of injuries or serious damage. The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 and its epicenter was 27.6 kilometers (17 miles) southwest of the town of Porcito. It struck at a depth of 14 kilometers (nearly nine miles) late Monday. Strong movement was felt in Chile’s capital, which is about 300 kilometers (186 miles) from the area hit by the quake. Chilean officials said there were no damage reported in that nation. Media in Argentina say electricity is out in the region around Porcito and some goods were shaken from supermarket shelves.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese state media say 12 out of 22 workers trapped for a week after an explosion in a gold mine are alive. The Xinhua News Agency said a note passed through a rescue shaft Sunday night said the fate of the other ten remains unknown. The handwritten note said four of the workers were injured and that the condition of others was deteriorating because of a lack of fresh air and an influx of water. The mine in Shandong province had been under construction at the time of the blast on Jan. 10. Managers of the mine were detained after they failed to report the accident for more than a day in violation of safety regulations.

LES SABLES-D’OLONNE, France (AP) — Yannick Bestaven has won the Vendee Globe solo round-the-world sailing race after rescuing a capsized rival, more than 80 days alone at sea and an unusually close final few hours to determine the winner. Bestaven wasn’t the first to cross the finish line — that honor went to his fellow Frenchman Charlie Dalin, who arrived in Sables-d’Olonne Wednesday night. But Bestaven and another skipper have had time knocked off their overall finish time for helping a fellow sailor who capsized. And with that Bestaven has been declared the winner.

MADISON (WKOW) – The 74th annual Alice in Dairyland finals, which were to be held in Walworth County in May 2021, have been canceled, according to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
The 75th finals will be held May 19-21, 2022 in Dane County as previously planned.
Julia Nunes of Chippewa Falls will continue in her current role as Alice in Dairyland until July 15, 2022, officially becoming the 74th Alice in May 2021.
“Alice in Dairyland is a long-standing Wisconsin tradition. Even during the unexpected challenges of COVID-19, Alice has reminded us all of the diversity and strength of Wisconsin agriculture,” said DATCP Secretary-designee Randy Romanski.
“While 2020 may be behind us, the pandemic is not," Romanski continued. "Canceling the 74th Alice in Dairyland finals is an unfortunate but necessary step to help protect the health and safety of our staff and the public we serve."
Applications for the 75th Alice in Dairyland will be made available on Jan. 3, 2022. After being selected at the Dane County finals, the 75th Alice in Dairyland will begin her term on July 5, 2022.

HONG KONG (AP) — A 72-year-old bottle of Glen Grant single malt whisky from Scotland has fetched more than $54,000 in an auction in Hong Kong. It is the first time that the 1948 Glen Grant whisky, by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail, was offered in an auction. It was auctioned off by Bonhams, fetching a price of $54,300 including premium. The whisky, the oldest from the Glen Grant distillery, is in a Dartington crystal decanter with an American black walnut presentation box. Despite the economic uncertainty brought by the pandemic, interest in rare whiskies remains high.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. prosecutors have filed motions saying that Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández took bribes from drug traffickers and had the country’s armed forces protect a cocaine laboratory and shipments to the United States. The documents quote Hernández as saying he wanted to “‘shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos’ by flooding the United States with cocaine.” The motions filed Friday with the U.S. Southern District of New York don’t specifically name the president, but clearly identify him. The president hasn’t been charged and has repeatedly denied connections to traffickers despite the 2019 conviction of one of his brothers.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea has reported 599 new coronavirus cases, the highest in 10 days, as health workers scramble to slow infections at religious facilities, which have been a major source throughout the pandemic. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency says 112 of the new cases came from the southwestern city of Gwangju, where more than 100 have so far been linked to a missionary training school. An affiliated facility in the central city of Daejeon has been linked to more than 170 infections. The Seoul metropolitan area reported nearly 300 cases. South Korea has repeatedly seen big clusters emerge from religious groups, including more than 5,000 linked to the secretive Shincheonji Church of Jesus that drove a major outbreak last spring.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Capitol Police are evacuating some congressional office buildings due to "police activity" as thousands gather outside the Capitol to protest the electoral vote.
Police told congressional staff members they should evacuate the Cannon House Office Building and the building that houses the Library of Congress.
It wasn't immediately clear what specifically sparked the evacuation.
A police spokeswoman did not immediately respond to calls and emails seeking comment.
Thousands of people have descended on the U.S. Capitol as Congress is expected to vote to affirm Joe Biden's 2020 presidential win. Videos posted online showed protesters fighting with U.S. Capitol Police officers as police fired pepper spray to keep them back.

NEW YORK (AP) — James Goldston says he is stepping down after seven years as ABC News president. Under his leadership, the network’s two flagship news programs, “World News Tonight” and “Good Morning America,” are ratings leaders. ABC has also launched a new ‘ABC News Live’ online product and purchased the FiveThirtyEight blog. Goldston said he always assumed that after the just-completed election cycle it would be time for a change. Peter Rice, Goldston’s supervisor at ABC parent Walt Disney Co., says he is naming a five-person executive team to oversee operations after Goldston leaves at the end of March as he searches for a new leader.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve officials last month supported providing advance notice before the central bank makes changes to its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases. The minutes of those discussions released Wednesday show wide support for adding language to the Fed’s policy statement to indicate that the purchases would continue “until substantial further progress” has been made toward the central bank’s maximum employment and price stability goals. The central bank is making the monthly bond buys to provide further help to an economy struggling to emerge from a pandemic-induced recession that has seen the loss of millions of jobs.

ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte is fighting for his political life with an address to the lower chamber of Parliament. That speech on Monday aims to shore up support for his government, which has come under fire from an ally over plans to relaunch Italy’s the pandemic-ravaged economy. Conte lost his majority with the defection of Cabinet ministers belonging to former Premier Matteo Renzi’s tiny but key Italia Viva (Italy Alive) party. Renzi has faced harsh criticism for the power play during a pandemic. But with billions of European Union pandemic funds expected to flow into Italy, Renzi has defended the political maneuver as necessary to prevent Conte from amassing too much power.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Authorities in Belgium say a 27th elderly person has died in an outbreak at a nursing home from a super-spreading St. Nick party last month but hope the situation is finally under control. The nursing home in Mol in northern Belgium had organized a Dec. 4 visit from troupe playing a beloved saint who usually spreads mirth and presents. The municipality said on New Year’s Eve that a 27th person had died but that the outbreak was finally stabilizing. It said it never would have allowed the party if it had known about it. Belgium, a nation of 11.5 million, has been badly hit by the pandemic with 19,441 deaths so far, many of them in nursing homes.

BEIJING (AP) — A city government in eastern China says the coronavirus was found on ice cream produced there, prompting a recall of cartons from the same batch. The government says employees of the company in Tianjin, adjacent to Beijing, are being tested for the coronavirus. There is no indication anyone has contracted the virus from the ice cream. Most of the 29,000 cartons of ice cream in the batch had yet to be sold. The government says 390 sold in Tianjin are being tracked down and authorities elsewhere were notified of sales to their areas. China has suggested the disease, first detected in Wuhan, came from abroad and has highlighted what it says are discoveries of the virus on imported fish and other food.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong is home to a variety of snakes — from the venomous king cobra to larger species such as the Burmese python. Whenever one of these reptiles is spotted slithering into a home, Ken Lee is among the snake catchers called to capture the creatures. But unlike commercial snake catchers of yesteryear, whose catch is often served up as soup in the city’s snake shops, Lee doesn’t sell the snakes he captures. The snakes he catches are sent to the Kadoorie Farm and Botanical Garden, a local nonprofit organization that shelters rescued wild animals. After a health check, most of the creatures are then released back into the local parks.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — Yosemite National Park will remain closed through the weekend after high winds that battered much of California knocked down two giant sequoias and caused millions of dollars in damage. The park says it hopes to reopen Tuesday except for areas south of Yosemite Valley that will remain shut to visitors for safety reasons. A spokesman tells the Sacramento Bee that high winds on Monday toppled the sequoias. They also crushed trucks and damaged buildings, including employee homes. Crews are working to repair downed electrical lines, especially in the Wawona area, which remains without power Thursday.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s Finance Ministry says the country borrowed 130.5 billion euros ($157.5 billion) last year as it loosened budget rules to help finance pandemic-related rescue and stimulus packages. That’s a considerably smaller sum than was originally planned. After six years in the black, Germany resorted to running up new debt in 2020 to help cover the cost of huge packages made necessary by the coronavirus packages and an expected shortfall in tax revenue. The country has Europe’s biggest economy. Parliament had authorized 217.8 billion euros in new borrowing. In the end, the economy suffered less badly than feared in 2020.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Richard Burr says the Justice Department has told him it will not prosecute him over stock sales made during the coronavirus pandemic, ending an insider trading investigation that led him to at least temporarily step aside from a powerful committee chairmanship last year. Prosecutors had investigated for months whether the North Carolina Republican and former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee had exploited advance information when he unloaded as much as $1.7 million in stocks in the days before the coronavirus caused markets to plummet. Burr says “The case is now closed.” A Justice Department spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.

UW system prepares to conclude COVID surge testing
| null | null |
wqow.com

MADISON (WQOW) - The University of Wisconsin System's surge testing for COVID-19 will be ending in just a few weeks, and until then, UW System officials have their sights set on administering between 80,000 to 100,000 more tests.
Beginning in November, with help from the federal government, more than 170,000 free rapid antigen tests have been distributed across 22 testing sites in Wisconsin; something UW System President Tommy Thompson believes has left a major impact in slowing the spread of the virus.
"We found about 14,000 had tested positive," Thompson said. "And we think by quarantining those 14,000 we had a tremendous positive impact on lowering down the spiral of the infection."
Thompson urges all Wisconsinites to utilize this program and get a test, especially if you've spent time outside of your small circle this holiday season.
Those testing sites are open through Jan. 23. To see dates and times of availability click or tap here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden arrived at the White House ready to wield his pen to dismantle Donald Trump’s legacy and begin pushing his own priorities. The new president has already signed dozens of executive orders targeting foundational policies of the last administration. Biden’s goals include reversing Trump’s ban on travelers from several predominantly Muslim countries, calling on the U.S. to rejoin the Paris climate accord and stopping construction of Trump’s border wall. Both Trump and former President Barack Obama relied on executive orders and other presidential directives to get some of their most controversial policies around a deadlocked Congress. But the governing tool often comes with fleeting impact.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece is due to sign a 2.3 billion-euro ($2.8 billion) deal with France on Monday to purchase 18 Rafale fighter jets as tensions grow with neighbor Turkey. The French defense minister is due in Athens to sign the agreement to deliver 12 used and six new aircraft built by Dassault Aviation over two years, starting in mid-2021. France has sided with Athens in a dispute over boundaries in the Aegean Sea and eastern Mediterranean that has brought NATO members Greece and Turkey to the brink of war several times in recent decades.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Experts on far-right extremism say the storming of the U.S. Capitol is a jarring but natural product of years of violence and hateful rhetoric stoked by disinformation and conspiracy theories. Members of the Proud Boys and other far-right groups joined the crowds that formed in Washington on Wednesday to cheer on President Donald Trump as he called on them to protest Congress’ counting of Electoral College votes confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Then they headed to the Capitol. Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt says the mob’s actions at the Capitol were consistent with the rhetoric of QAnon.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal will hold a presidential election on Sunday, choosing a head of state to serve a five-year term. If none of the seven candidates captures more than 50% of the vote, a runoff between the two top candidates will take place on Feb. 14. The ballot is taking place as the country’s coronavirus outbreak worsens. The country has one of the world’s highest rates of new infections and deaths and is currently in lockdown. Early voting drew almost 200,000 of the country’s 9.3 million registered voters. The government is opening 2,000 more polling stations to prevent crowds from forming Sunday.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean court has ordered Japan to financially compensate 12 South Korean women forced to work as sex slaves for Japanese troops during World War II. The landmark ruling is set to rekindle animosities between the Asian neighbors. Japan immediately protested by summoning the South Korea’s ambassador in Tokyo. Japan maintains that all wartime compensation issues were resolved under a 1965 treaty that normalized their ties. Observers say it is unlikely Japan will comply with the Seoul Central District Court, which ruled the Japanese government must give $91,360 each to the women who sued. Seven of the 12 women died while waiting for the ruling.

FBI vetting Guard troops in DC amid fears of insider attack

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. That concern is prompting the FBI to vet all 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event. The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.

DETROIT (AP) — Quarterback Matthew Stafford is questionable for Detroit’s season finale against Minnesota on Sunday. Stafford has been dealing with ankle, thumb and rib injuries and didn’t play much in last weekend’s loss to Tampa Bay. Interim coach Darrell Bevell said Chase Daniel would start if Stafford can’t play. Detroit ruled out offensive lineman Tyrell Crosby, guard Joe Dahl and wide receiver Kenny Golladay. The Vikings will be without cornerback Cameron Dantzler, defensive end Jalyn Holmes, cornerback Chris Jones, linebacker Eric Kendricks and defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo. Kicker Dan Bailey is questionable with a back injury. Minnesota running back Dalvin Cook will miss the game following the death of his father.

The Latest: Germany passes 2 million mark for COVID cases

BERLIN — Germany has passed the mark of 2 million confirmed COVID infections since the start of the pandemic.
The country’s disease control agency said Friday that there were 22,368 newly confirmed cases over the past 24-hour period, taking the total to 2,000,958.
The Robert Koch Institute said there have been 44,994 deaths linked to the coronavirus, an increase of 1,113 in a day.
German news agency dpa reported that newspapers carried significantly more death notices during the period until October 2020 than in the previous year.
The Saechsische Zeitung daily, which covers the eastern state of Saxony now badly affected by the outbreak, had three instead of the usual two obituary pages.

While much of Europe is increasingly locked down, Spain insists it can stay open and still beat the virus.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
BRUSSELS — Belgium is strengthening its rules for travelers entering the country by train or bus in a bid to limit the spread of a more contagious variant of the coronavirus first detected in Britain.
In a statement Friday, Belgium’s Interior ministry said travelers arriving from a country outside the European Union or the Schengen space with a high contamination rate will now be submitted to the same rules as those coming by boat or plane.
The ministry said the measures are precautionary.
According to virologist Marc Van Ranst, who spoke to local broadcaster VRT on Friday, about 100 cases of people infected by new variants of the virus have been registered so far in Belgium. He said that figure could probably be multiplied by 100 for the true number.
More than 20,000 people have died of COVID-19-related causes in Belgium, a country with 11.5 million inhabitants. Health authorities said Friday that there were 17,966 additional deaths in the country in 2020 compared with the previous year.

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s education minister says authorities will start reopening schools in phases from Jan. 18 despite a steady increase in deaths and infections from the coronavirus.
Schools were closed in November when data showed that the country’s positivity rate had jumped to about 7 percent.
The rate has since come down to 5.9 percent, which is still high, according to experts.
Education minister Shafqat Mahmood said Friday officials decided to reopen schools in phases because the government doesn’t want to stop the learning process for children.
His remarks at a televised press conference came hours after Pakistan reported 2,417 new cases and 45 more deaths .
Pakistan has reported 514,338 infections and 10,863 deaths since the pandemic began in February.
___
BEIJING — China says it is now treating more than 1,000 people for COVID-19 as numbers of cases continue to surge in the country’s north.
The National Health Commission said Friday that 1,001 patients are under care for the disease, 26 of them in serious condition. It says 144 total new cases were recorded in the previous 24 hours.
The province of Hebei, just outside Beijing, accounted for 90 of the new cases, while Heilongjiang province farther north reported 43 new cases.
While there have been no reports of hospital bed shortages, Hebei has begun constructing a new quarantine center outside the provincial capital of Shijiazhuang in case it is needed.
Shijiazhuang and the cities of Xingtai and Langfang are under virtual lockdown, confining more than 20 million people to their homes.
___
WILMINGTON, Del. — President-elect Joe Biden says he knows his $1.9 trillion coronavirus plan “does not come cheaply” but he says America can’t afford to fail to pass the plan.
Biden said Thursday night that by investing now “boldly, smartly and with unwavering focus on American workers and families,” the plan will strengthen the economy, address inequity and set America on a more sustainable financial course.
Biden’s plan faces an uncertain future. Democrats have narrow margins in both chambers of Congress and the legislation would be paid for with borrowed money, adding to trillions in debt the government has already incurred to fight the pandemic.
___
WILMINGTON, Del. — President-elect Joe Biden is calling the Trump administration’s rollout of coronavirus vaccines a “dismal failure” and says he will unveil his own plans on Friday to speed up inoculations.
In unveiling a $1.9 trillion plan for dealing with the pandemic, Biden said Thursday night that “this will be on the most challenging operational efforts we have ever undertaken as a nation.”
He says that “we will have to move heaven and earth to get more people vaccinated.”
The Trump administration announced earlier this week that it will release all available vaccine doses. It said it will direct states to immediately begin vaccinating every American 65 and older as well as tens of millions of adults with health conditions that put them at higher risk of dying from the virus.
___
WILMINGTON, Del. —President-elect Joe Biden says his priority is effectively combatting the twin crises of a pandemic and the sinking economy.
Biden said during a speech Thursday night that “we have to act now” to help the “millions of Americans, through no fault of their own,” who have lost “the dignity and respect that comes with a job and a paycheck.”
He discussed the framework of his $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan,” which includes $1,400 checks for most Americans and would extend a temporary boost in unemployment benefits and a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures through September.
The proposal also includes plans to speed up the vaccine rollout and provide financial help to individuals, states and local governments and businesses struggling with the prolonged economic fallout.

LONDON (AP) — Some businesses say costs and paperwork are hampering trade between Britain and the European Union as the reality of the U.K.’s post-Brexit trading relationship with the bloc takes hold. A trade deal that took effect Jan. 1 allows Britain and the EU to trade in goods without quotas or tariffs. But that is a far cry from the seamless, hassle-free trade the U.K. enjoyed as an EU member. Courier company DPD said Friday that it was suspending deliveries by road from Britain to the EU until at least Wednesday because of the burden of new paperwork. British food and clothing chain Marks & Spencer says it faced problems supplying stores in Ireland, France and the Czech Republic with some products.

WASHINGTON (AP) — All 10 living former secretaries of defense have joined in cautioning against any attempt to use the military in the cause of overturning November’s presidential election. The former Pentagon chiefs, both Republicans and Democrats, put their names to an opinion article published Sunday in The Washington Post. The article says the time for questioning the results of the election has passed. And they say that attempting to involve the military in resolving election disputes would take the county “into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory.” While not naming President Donald Trump, the article appears as Trump and his allies continue to falsely claim fraud spoiled November’s election.

Eau Claire Mask Mandate Do you want to see a mask mandate in Eau Claire? Yes No Undecided
EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - Do you want to see a mask mandate in place in Eau Claire?
That is what the Eau Claire City Council wants to know ahead of a meeting on Feb. 2.
The proposed ordinance would require everyone who is 5 or older to wear a mask when out and about.
A similar measure is being considered at the county level. If passed, these ordinances would only take effect if the statewide mask mandate was eliminated - either by a court or by the Legislature.
Governor Tony Evers most recently issued a mask mandate on Jan. 19. The Wisconsin Senate voted to overturn that mandate earlier this week. The Assembly was set to do the same but that came to a halt when it came to light that nearly $50 million in food assistance funding would disappear.
You can provide your feedback to the Eau Claire City Council here.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York woman has been charged with conspiring with an ex-convict to extort and force into labor or prostitution some women he met after living in his daughter’s on-campus housing at Sarah Lawrence College. Isabella Pollok was freed Friday on $100,000 bail after an indictment was unsealed in Manhattan federal court. Her lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She was charged with conspiring with Lawrence Ray. The 61-year-old man has been held without bail since his arrest last year. He has pleaded not guilty. Authorities say he committed his crimes after moving in with his daughter, Pollok and other women in 2010 at Sarah Lawrence.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden has evoked Franklin Delano Roosevelt in promising a remaking of America unseen since the New Deal. Pledging to emulate some of the loftiest reforms in the nation’s history has left him with towering promises to keep. And Biden hopes to deliver against the backdrop of the pandemic and searing national division. Can Biden’s great expectations be met? Democrats only have razor-thin control of the House and Senate. But he brushes off the doubters. What’s certain is that the effort will be intense. Dozens of consequential executive actions as well as major pieces of legislation are coming in a deluge that starts on Inauguration Day.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day announcements on immigration are far-reaching. A raft of executive orders undoes many of his predecessor’s hallmark initiatives, such as halting work on a border wall with Mexico and lifting a travel ban from several predominantly Muslim countries. Proposed legislation would give a path to citizenship to anyone in the United States before Jan. 1, 2021 — an estimated 11 million people — and reduce the time that family members have to wait outside the United States for green cards. The bill faces an enormous test in Congress.

Negative temps and wind chills return to the forecast

High temperatures in Eau Claire have hit or exceeded the average high of 23 degrees every day this month with the exception of New Year's Day when the high was 20. Today was the closest we've been to having a below average day besides the first.
Temperatures have started to fall now after sunset as the sky is at least mostly clear, though that will change overnight. Wind chills are a different story, as some places are already in the single digits, and there are chances for negative wind chills by tomorrow morning area-wide as a light breeze of 3 to 8 mph persists. The wind will be 5-10 mph tomorrow, which means that wind chills will spend most of the day in the single digits above zero.
Negative wind chills is one thing, but it takes a bit more to get negative temperatures. Historically, January is the coldest month of the year and on average, roughly one-third of low temperatures in the month are below zero. On average, Eau Claire has 28 days each winter with negative low temperatures.
This winter, however, is a bit different. So far, just one day has been below zero. That came on December 29 with a low of just -2. We're already halfway through January, and just past the peak of the of the center of the best chances for negative temperatures, but that also means that between now and the end of March Eau Claire averages between 10 and 15 days with below zero lows, so there's a lot of time left this winter.
Should we remain in this much warmer than average pattern, Eau Claire would be in the running for least number of negative lows in a winter. The least number of negative low temperatures came in the winter of 1997-98 with just 5 days. Of note, there has only been one year (2001-02) in Eau Claire's recorded history without a low of at least -10 or colder.
Some spots could drop below 0 tonight if the clouds that reform late evening clear early enough. The best chance for this is northwest of Eau Claire. Tomorrow's high looks to be the coldest of the month so far with a forecast high of 17 and wind chills in the single digits.
Flurry chances remain tonight through Thursday when temperatures will warm up ahead of a chance for scattered light snow showers.
After that system, temps crash and we will have chances for negative lows both Thursday and Friday nights. Friday and Saturday will also be cold before temps warm up by the end of the weekend.
That warmer air arrives with snow chances for Saturday night through Monday morning.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Broadcast legend Larry King, who has been suffering from COVID-19, has been moved out of the intensive care unit at a Los Angeles hospital and is no longer receiving supplemental oxygen. A spokesman for King’s production company reported the improved picture on Monday. King had been in the ICU since New Year’s Eve. Spokesman David Theall says King conversed with his three sons by video call.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Capitol complex temporarily locked down during a rehearsal for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration after a fire in a homeless encampment roughly a mile away sent a plume of smoke into the air and caused security concerns. But law enforcement officials say there was no threat to the public and Monday’s fire was not believed to be a threat to the inauguration. Local firefighters put out the blaze quickly. Meanwhile, the Secret Service has issued a bulletin about what it sees as an “uptick” in National Guard troops in Washington posting pictures and details of their operations online. It is urging them to stop immediately.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has made his first calls to foreign leaders as America’s commander in chief on Friday. He dialed up Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Friday at a strained moment for the U.S. relationship with its North American neighbors. Biden’s call to Trudeau came after the Canadian leader publicly expressed disappointment over Biden’s decision to issue an executive order halting construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Biden Also spoke with López Obrador on Friday, a week after the Mexican president accused the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration of fabricating drug trafficking charges against the country’s former defense secretary.

Analysis: Biden faces a more confident China after US chaos
| null | null |
wqow.com
|
BEIJING (AP) — As a new U.S. president takes office, he faces a determined Chinese leadership that could be further emboldened by America’s troubles at home.
The disarray in America, from the rampant COVID-19 pandemic to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, gives China’s ruling Communist Party a boost as it pursues its long-running quest for national “rejuvenation” — a bid to return the country to what it sees as its rightful place as a major nation.
For Joe Biden, sworn in Wednesday as the 46th president, that could make one of his major foreign policy challenges even more difficult as he tries to manage an increasingly contentious relationship between the world’s rising power and its established one.
The stakes are high for the both countries and the rest of the world. A misstep could spark an accidental conflict in the Western Pacific, where China’s growing naval presence is bumping up against America’s. The trade war under President Donald Trump hurt workers and farmers in both countries, though some in Vietnam and elsewhere benefited as companies moved production outside China. On global issues such as climate, it is difficult to make progress if the world’s two largest economies aren’t talking.
A more confident China may push back harder on issues such as technology, territory and human rights. Analysts draw parallels to the 2008 global financial crisis, from which China emerged relatively unscathed. The country’s foreign policy has grown increasingly assertive since then, from staking out territory in disputed waters in the South China Sea to its more recent use of Twitter to hit back at critics. China’s relative success in controlling the pandemic could fuel that trend.
The U.S. has also shifted, with wide support among both Republicans and Democrats for treating China as a competitor, and embracing the need for a tougher approach to China, if not always agreeing with how Trump carried it out. Biden needs to be wary of opening himself up to attacks that he is soft on China if he rolls back import tariffs and other steps taken by his predecessor.
His pressing need to prioritize domestic challenges could give China breathing room to push forward its agenda, whether it be technological advancement or territorial issues from Taiwan to its border with India. Kurt Tong, a former U.S. diplomat in Asia, sees a stalemate in the coming few years, in which China keeps doing what it has been doing and the U.S. is not happy about it.
“I think it’s going to be a tough patch, it’s just going to be more disagreements than agreements and not a lot of breakthroughs,” said Tong, now a partner with The Asia Group consultancy in Washington, D.C.
Biden has pointed to potential areas of cooperation, from climate change to curbing North Korea’s nuclear weapons development, but even in those areas, the two countries don’t always agree.
The pandemic, first viewed as a potential threat to President Xi Jinping’s leadership as it spiraled out of control in the city of Wuhan in early 2020, has been transformed into a story of hardship followed by triumph.
The Communist Party has sought to use the pandemic to justify its continued control of the one-party, authoritarian state it has led for more than 70 years, while rounding up citizen-journalists and others to quash any criticism of its handling of the outbreak.
That effort has been aided by the failure of many other nations to stop the spread of COVID-19. Biden takes over a country where deaths continue to mount and virus-related restrictions keep it in recession. China is battling small outbreaks, but life has largely returned to normal and economic growth is accelerating.
“It would have been more difficult for them to push that narrative around the world if the United States had not done such a poor job,” said Bonnie Glaser, director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic & International Studies in Washington, D.C. “That’s a theme that runs through many issues, that China’s just able to point to the United States and democracy in general as not delivering good governance.”
It’s impossible to gauge support for the Communist Party in a country where many would be unwilling to criticize it publicly, for fear of repercussions. But Niu Jun, an international relations professor at Peking University, said that objectively, public trust should rise given China’s faster recovery from the outbreak.
“To ordinary people, the logic is very simple,” he said, predicting the pandemic would spark public thinking and discussion about which system of governance is more effective.
“The party’s policies are good, our policies are not like the ones in foreign countries, ours are good,” said Liu Shixiu, strolling with her daughter in Wuhan, the city that bore the brunt of the pandemic in China. “We listen to the party.”
It is unclear whether the Communist Party foresees exporting its way of governance as an alternative to the democratic model. For now, Chinese officials note that countries choose different systems and stress the need for others to respect those differences.
“As China becomes more and more confident, maybe they’ll try to shape the internal operations or ways of thinking of other countries,” Tong said. “But to me, it feels more like they don’t want anyone to be able to say that China is bad and get away with it.”
The leadership wants China to be seen and treated as an equal and has shown a willingness to use its growing economic and military might to try to get its way.

Biden calls on mob to 'pull back,' urges restoring decency

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden is calling for the restoration of “simple decency” after a mob incited by his predecessor stormed the U.S. Capitol and delayed Congress from certifying Biden’s November election victory. Biden had planned to deliver a speech focused on how to revive an economy reeling from the coronavirus pandemic from his native Delaware on Wednesday. But shortly before he was to begin speaking, demonstrators broke into the capital, reaching as far as the House floor. The building was locked down and police with guns drawn moved in as Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers were evacuated to secure locations. “At this hour our democracy is under unprecedented assault unlike anything we’ve seen in modern times,” Biden said.

Biden DNI pick says no room for politics in intel agencies
| null | null |
wqow.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the intelligence community, Avril Haines, is promising to “speak truth to power,” and insisting that she would keep politics out of the intelligence agencies to ensure their work is trusted. “When it comes to intelligence, there is simply no place for politics — ever,” she told the Senate Intelligence Committee. Haines, a former CIA deputy director in the Obama administration, would enter the job as director of national intelligence, or DNI, following a Trump administration that saw repeated pressure on intelligence officials to shape intelligence to the Republican president’s liking.

WASHINGTON (AP) — There were fewer air travelers in the United States last year, but a higher percentage of them were carrying guns. The Transportation Security Administration said Tuesday that screeners found 3,257 firearms on passengers or in their carry-on bags in 2020, or about 10 for every million travelers. About 83% of the guns were loaded. That was double the rate of guns found in 2019. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport had the most guns seized, 220, followed by 176 guns at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport checkpoints. Federal law prohibits passengers other than certain law enforcement officers from bringing guns or ammunition into the cabin, although unloaded guns are permitted in checked bags that go into the cargo hold.

HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston area health department doctor accused by prosecutors of stealing nine doses of coronavirus vaccine from a damaged vial and administering them to family and friends insists he did nothing wrong and was only trying to ensure the vaccine was not wasted. Authorities allege Hasan Gokal, who worked for Harris County Public Health, stole a vial of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine while working at a vaccination site at a suburban Houston park on Dec. 29. According to a probable cause complaint, Gokal took a punctured vial of the vaccine and later administered it to nine people, including his wife. Gokal’s lawyer called him a “dedicated public servant” who instead of wasting the vaccine gave it to people eligible to receive it.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Thousands of Israelis are renewing their weekly demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They’re calling on the long-serving leader to resign over corruption charges against him, and his alleged mishandling of the coronavirus crisis. Saturday’s protests come as Israel is the midst of its third national lockdown. The country is also pressing forward with a world-leading vaccination drive. Netanyahu’s trial was set to resume this week, but it’s been postponed indefinitely amid the tighter restrictions. He’s indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust connected to three long-running investigations. He’s denied any wrongdoing.

ATLANTA (AP) — President Donald Trump came to the north Georgia mountains Monday night ostensibly to goose turnout in the surrounding conservative strongholds and stave off strong Democratic challengers who threatened the GOP’s Senate majority in two runoff elections. It didn’t work, as Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock defeated Republicans David Perdue and Sen. Kelly Loeffler to claim a Senate majority on the strength of a broad coalition. Across the state, even where Trump rallied, Democrats did a better job in the runoffs of nearly matching their November than Republicans did. The victories come after years of organizing work by the Democratic Party and its allies.

DETROIT (AP) — A new government report says gas mileage for new vehicles dropped and pollution increased in model year 2019 for the first time in five years. The Environmental Protection Agency says the changes show that few automakers could meet strict emissions and mileage standards set by the Obama administration. But environmental groups contend that automakers used loopholes and stopped marketing fuel-efficient vehicles knowing that the Trump administration would roll back mileage and pollution standards. The EPA report released Wednesday says gas mileage fell 0.2 miles per gallon, while greenhouse gas emissions rose by 3 grams per mile traveled, compared with 2018 figures. Mileage fell and pollution increased for the first time since 2014.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wednesday’s congressional joint session to count electoral votes is taking on added importance this year. Republicans allied with President Donald Trump are trying to undo Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College. A group of Republicans in the House and Senate say they will officially object to the results, forcing votes that will almost certainly fail. The Republicans who plan to object are citing Trump’s baseless charges of widespread fraud in the election. A range of election officials, including former attorney general William Barr, have confirmed that widespread fraud did not occur. The congressional meeting is the final step in certifying Biden’s win.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Loews Hotels says it has canceled a fundraiser at an Orlando, Florida, hotel for U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley. It’s the latest fallout for the Republican lawmaker who helped staged an Electoral college challenge that became the focus of a violent Capitol uprising in support of President Donald Trump. A statement from the hotel posted Saturday on Twitter said it was “horrified” by the events at the U.S. Capitol and by all who supported and incited the Jan. 6 insurrection. Hawley’s fundraiser was scheduled for February at a hotel at Universal Orlando. Hawley faces waning support from longtime donors.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska department plans to investigate the issuance of license plates in the state that were personalized to read “3REICH.” The issue drew attention after a former newspaper editor posted a picture of the plate on social media. Debate over the plates gained traction on social media and blogs over the weekend. Department of Administration Commissioner Kelly Tshibaka on Monday announced that she was ordering a review of Division of Motor Vehicles’ processes to determine how the plates were issued.

BEIJING (AP) — The Chinese government says profit at state-owned companies that dominate its banking, oil and most other industries rose by as much as 25% last year as the country recovered from the coronavirus pandemic. An official of the Cabinet agency that oversees top-level government companies said total revenue rose 2.2% over 2019 to $4.7 trillion. Total profit rose 2.1% to $215 billion. The ruling Communist Party has built up such “national champions” over the past two decades, but their monopolies and multibillion-dollar subsidies prompt complaints by the public that they are a waste of money and gouge consumers with high prices.

Honduran migrants head for Guatemala border as police wait

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (AP) — About 200 migrants have begun walking up a highway toward the border with Guatemala two days before a migrant caravan is scheduled to depart. Some 75 police officers dressed in riot gear waited late Wednesday at a point farther along the highway on the outskirts of San Pedro Sula. One officer says the intention is to stop the migrants for violating a pandemic-related curfew. The migrants stopped just short of the police and bedded down to wait for the curfew to expire.

"SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (AP) — About 200 migrants have begun walking up a highway toward the border with Guatemala two days before a migrant caravan is scheduled to depart. Some 75 police officers dressed in riot gear waited late Wednesday at a point farther along the highway on the outskirts of San Pedro Sula. One officer says the intention is to stop the migrants for violating a pandemic-related curfew. The migrants stopped just short of the police and bedded down to wait for the curfew to expire. The migrants face the additional challenge of governments that agreed earlier this week to enforce immigration laws at their borders.",

Denmark suspends Dubai flights amid doubts over virus tests

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark has temporarily suspended all flights from the United Arab Emirates for five days after suspicions arose that the coronavirus tests that can be obtained before leaving Dubai are not reliable. Denmark’s transportation minister said the decision was made to allow the matter to be thoroughly investigated and ensure that the testing are being carried out properly. Since Jan. 9, Danes have required that all passengers arriving in the Scandinavian country have a negative coronavirus test or proof that they have recently had COVID-19, to limit the spread of the virus. The UAE’s Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the flight suspensions.

How many variants of the coronavirus are there?
| null | null |
wqow.com

Many variants of the coronavirus are circulating around the world, but scientists are primarily concerned about three. It’s not unusual for viruses to mutate as they infect people and make copies of themselves. But monitoring variants is important since they could change the way people are infected. Vaccines and treatments could also be less effective on them. A variant first discovered in the United Kingdom seems to spread more easily. Variants first detected in South Africa and in Brazil also appear more contagious. Data so far suggests current vaccines should still protect against these variants, though their effectiveness could be slightly diminished.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers made sure he’d get the opportunity to play an NFC championship game at home for the first time in his Hall of Fame-caliber career.
Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and also ran for a score as the top-seeded Green Bay Packers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 32-18 in an NFC divisional playoff game Saturday.
Green Bay’s potent offense overpowered the Rams’ vaunted defense for much of the day.
The Packers didn’t allow any sacks despite playing without injured All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari.
Green Bay sacked Jared Goff four times.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate’s longest-serving current member has been taken to a hospital for observation after not feeling well. Spokesman David Carle says Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy was sent there Tuesday evening after Congress’ physician recommended he go out of an abundance of caution. Leahy is 80 and was first elected in 1974. Earlier Tuesday, Leahy had begun presiding over former President Donald Trump’s latest impeachment trial in Leahy’s capacity as the Senate’s president pro tempore, which is usually a ceremonial post. The actual trial begins next month.

Eau Claire School Board to vote on whether to reallow open enrollment to Memorial High School
| null | null |

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- With one Eau Claire high school nearing capacity in part due to open enrolled students, the Eau Claire Area School District may soon allow the other high school to accept them as well.
The Eau Claire School Board will vote this month on whether to reopen Memorial High School for open enrollment of students who live outside of the school district.
In 2017, the board voted to disallow open enrollment at Memorial as it neared full capacity and has since placed all of those students at North High School. Since then, the school's enrollments have reversed, with North projected at 99% full capacity, and Memorial at just 81%.
School administrators say the change is needed to create more classroom space at North.
"When you get up to the point where you're at 99% capacity, really what that means is 99% of the spaces are used all day every day," said Kim Koller, executive director of administration for the ECASD. "We may not have a classroom space for students to meet with that teacher."
Koller says there are 113 open enrolled students currently attending North, and staff is planning to repurpose space throughout the high school to fit everyone accordingly. Koller also says she is confident the district will do everything possible to give students a positive learning experience even if schools are nearing capacity.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The countries whose citizens were killed in the crash of a Ukrainian jetliner say they want Iran “to deliver justice and make sure Iran makes full reparations to the families of the victims and affected countries.” In a joint statement Friday marking the one-year anniversary of “the tragic downing,” Ukraine, France, Canada, Britain and Sweden said they want Tehran “to provide a complete and thorough explanation of the events and decisions that led to this appalling plane crash.” At first, Iran had denied involvement but then announced that its military had mistakenly shot down the jetliner.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The U.N. special representative on sexual violence in conflict says “serious allegations of sexual violence” have emerged in Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region, while women and girls face shortages of rape kits and HIV drugs amid restrictions on humanitarian access. A statement released late Thursday says there are also “disturbing reports of individuals allegedly forced to rape members of their own family, under threats of imminent violence.” The special representative joins growing calls for immediate and unconditional access to the Tigray region, where fighting broke out in early November between Ethiopian forces and Tigray ones.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Some governors and state lawmakers are reassessing security at state capitols across the country after the violence that occurred this week at the U.S. Capitol. Like the nation’s capitol, many statehouses are regular targets for demonstrations. Many already have armed security personnel and metal detectors that screen visitors. But state security officials are considering whether they need to do more. Officials in several states say security will be enhanced as their legislatures convene and governors are inaugurated this month.

MADISON, Wis.

Even if the current bill were to somehow pass, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has signaled his opposition and would likely veto the measure. Evers and Assembly Democrats have their own proposals that Republicans don’t support. The Legislature hasn’t passed anything related to the pandemic since April, and recent talks between Evers and Republican leaders failed to result in a deal.

EAU CLAIE (WQOW) - It's been almost 11 months since either Blugolds basketball team has had a contest on the court.
Not the typical way to start a season.
"That's been the biggest challenge," said men's head coach Matt Siverling. "We haven't had a scrimmage, we haven't had an exhibition game. We haven't had any non-conference games, we haven't had opportunities to fail on the court in a game-like setting, or succeed. So we really have a lot of unanswered questions."
The teams also lost their home court. With Zorn Arena is being used as a Covid-19 testing site, the Blugolds will now play at the McPhee Center.
"We love Zorn Arena," said women's head coach Tonja Englund. "But we're very fortunate to have a great facility like McPhee. If Zorn is needed right now, we've been one of those groups that has just rolled with whatever the change is. We're going to take it on, we're going to make the best of it."

"There are some different variables up there," said junior forward Spencer Page. "For some guys it might go to their heads a little bit. At the end of the day you're playing basketball. There's nothing that different about it. We'll get used to it, we'll be fine."
Even with all the changes and challenges, both squads are confident they can get back to the WIAC Championship.
"We had a really good end of the season last year," said Senior Center Katie Essen. "We wish we could have won that last game, but I think that's driving us even more to make sure we get back to that same spot and this time we win it."
"Definitely higher expectations after last year," said Page. "We know that potential that this program has. We're looking forward to having another good year."
The women's basketball team will host UW-La Crosse on Wednesday, February 3 at McPhee Center.
The men's team will travel to La Crosse that night before hosting the Eagles on Friday, February 5.

"EAU CLAIE (WQOW) - It's been almost 11 months since either Blugolds basketball team has had a contest on the court.\nNot the typical way to start a season.\n\"That's been the biggest challenge,\" said men's head coach Matt Siverling. \"We haven't had a scrimmage, we haven't had an exhibition game. We haven't had any non-conference games, we haven't had opportunities to fail on the court in a game-like setting, or succeed. So we really have a lot of unanswered questions.\"\nThe teams also lost their home court. With Zorn Arena is being used as a Covid-19 testing site, the Blugolds will now play at the McPhee Center.\n\"We love Zorn Arena,\" said women's head coach Tonja Englund. \"But we're very fortunate to have a great facility like McPhee. If Zorn is needed right now, we've been one of those groups that has just rolled with whatever the change is. We're going to take it on, we're going to make the best of it.\"\nRELATED: UWEC, UW-Stout reveal game schedules\n\"There are some different variables up there,\" said junior forward Spencer Page. \"For some guys it might go to their heads a little bit. At the end of the day you're playing basketball. There's nothing that different about it. We'll get used to it, we'll be fine.\"\nEven with all the changes and challenges, both squads are confident they can get back to the WIAC Championship.\n\"We had a really good end of the season last year,\" said Senior Center Katie Essen. \"We wish we could have won that last game, but I think that's driving us even more to make sure we get back to that same spot and this time we win it.\"\n\"Definitely higher expectations after last year,\" said Page. \"We know that potential that this program has. We're looking forward to having another good year.\"\nThe women's basketball team will host UW-La Crosse on Wednesday, February 3 at McPhee Center.\nThe men's team will travel to La Crosse that night before hosting the Eagles on Friday, February 5.",

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — A new report says just over two dozen people in the world are infected with Guinea worm, and community programs are close to eradicating the disease in which a meter-long worm slowly emerges from a blister in a person’s skin. The U.S.-based Carter Center, which leads the eradication campaign, says just 27 cases were reported in 2020 in six countries in sub-Saharan Africa, or half the number of cases in 2019. Guinea worm is poised to be the second human disease to be eradicated after smallpox.

Cornell couple surprised with free car

CORNELL (WQOW) - Gil and Jean Skroch have been driving their pickup truck for nearly 20 years.
"It's just not safe or dependable and it's been that way for a while," said their friend Rebecca Keiser.
"Sometimes the door wouldn't stay shut," Jean said.
Living in Cornell, Keiser said they needed something more dependable.
"Especially in case they have appointments they need to get to you know, we live in a rural area and you have a distance to go to get groceries or go to these doctors appointments or any other appointments or just to go somewhere," Keiser said.
So she nominated them for the Chippewa Valley Mazdas One-derful Community Giveaway. And on Wednesday morning, their new car, a Ford C-Max rolled into their driveway, making Jean feel…
"Overwhelmed with joy."
This is the ninth year Chippewa Valley Mazda has given away cars to people in need.
"A big piece of where we live is transportation, it's pretty vital," said Bill Bertrand, owner of Chippewa Valley Mazda. "We did it one year and it's something that took off and its just so good for the community, it's our way of giving back."
Gil is a Navy veteran, active in the community and with the local camaraderie club, and as the couple is in their 70s and retired, they now have peace of mind when it comes to getting around.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a challenge to a Chinese conglomerate’s plans for a $9.4 billion plastics complex in Louisiana because the Army Corps of Engineers is reconsidering its permit. Both the company that wants to build the complex and opponents of the plans say they are pleased. The Formosa Plastics Group’s Louisiana member says it is pleased that the suit is over. An environmental attorney says opponents won because the Corps was made to reevaluate its permit.

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Wildlife biologists say a 34-year-old grizzly bear captured in southwestern Wyoming has been confirmed as the oldest on record in the Yellowstone region. Grizzly bear 168 was captured last summer after it preyed on cattle. The Jackson Hole Hole News & Guide reports the male had just a few teeth left and weighed 170 pounds. When he was 5 years old, he weighed 450 pounds. Wildlife officials euthanized the old bear in July 2020 because of his poor health and because he would likely continue to prey on calves.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that the House has impeached President Donald Trump for the second time, Speaker Nancy Pelosi must figure out the best strategy for arguing the case before the Senate. Senate rules say the trial must start soon after the chamber receives the article of impeachment, which cites “incitement of insurrection” after an angry mob of Trump’s supporters invaded the Capitol last week. But Pelosi has not said when the House will deliver it. If the House sends it to the Senate early next week, or before then, a trial could begin at 1 p.m. on Inauguration Day. The ceremony at the Capitol starts at noon.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has released current and former members of his administration from the terms of their ethics pledge, which included a five-year ban on lobbying their former agencies. The ethics pledge was outlined in one of Trump’s first executive orders, signed on Jan. 28, 2017, as part of his campaign pledge to “drain the swamp.” It required Trump’s political appointees to agree to the lobbying ban, as well as pledge not to undertake work that would require them to register as a “foreign agent” after leaving government. Trump signed the one-page revocation of the order on Tuesday, and it was released by the White House shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, hours before his term ends.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has launched a five-day vaccination campaign against polio amid tight security, hoping to eradicate the crippling children’s disease this year. The new campaign began on Monday and it’s the first anti-polio drive in 2021. Polio workers will follow social distancing measures imposed because of the coronavirus. A spokesman for the campaign says it aims to inoculate 40 million children. The drive comes despite a steady increase in COVID-19 cases. Pakistan hopes to eradicate polio in 2021. It’s one of the two remaining countries in the world, alongside neighboring Afghanistan, where polio is endemic.

ATLANTA (AP) — While election officials in Georgia were verifying signatures on absentee ballot envelopes in one metro-Atlanta county, President Donald Trump pressured the lead investigator to “find the fraud.” He said this would make the investigator a national hero. The December call preceded Trump’s Jan. 2 call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger where he asked election officials to “find” enough votes to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the state’s presidential election. The call was described by a person familiar with it who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to describe the sensitive nature of the discussion. It was first reported Saturday by The Washington Post.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — An attorney for Bobi Wine says Ugandan soldiers have withdrawn from the opposition presidential challenger’s home the day after a judge ruled that his house arrest was unlawful. But the attorney tells The Associated Press that security forces can still be seen in the village near the candidate’s property outside the capital, Kampala. The popular singer-turned-opposition figure is meeting officials with his National Unity Platform party at his home. Ugandan authorities have said he can only leave his home under military escort because they fear his presence in public could incite rioting. Wine insists he won the Jan. 14 election.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s new governor is vowing to achieve statehood for the U.S. territory and fight against poverty, corruption and COVID-19. Pedro Pierluisi also promised to prioritize education, lift the government out of bankruptcy and alleviate a deep economic crisis as leader of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party after being sworn in Saturday as governor. He is a Democrat who previously served as Puerto Rico’s representative in Congress for eight years. Saturday’s ceremony marked the end of a chaotic four-year term that saw three governors, including Pierluisi himself briefly after former Gov. Ricardo Rosselló stepped down last year following huge street protests.

Maryland Episcopal church commits $500,000 to reparations

A historic Episcopal church in Baltimore has committed to setting aside $100,000 to reparations, an initiative that will contribute to local racial justice causes. Memorial Episcopal Church also pledged to contribute an additional $400,000 for reparations and justice over five years. The funds will come from its endowment and its operating budget. St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, a smaller congregation in Annapolis, has pledged to contribute at least $785 from its operating budget. Both are responding to the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, which has asked churches to add to a new $1million “seed fund for reparations.”

EU regulator is considering Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine

LONDON (AP) — The European Medicines Agency says AstraZeneca and Oxford University have submitted an application for their COVID-19 vaccine to be licensed across the 27-nation European Union. In a statement Tuesday, the EU regulator said it has a request for the vaccine to be green-lighted and that it could be approved by Jan. 29. Coronavirus vaccines made by Pfizer and BioNTech and Moderna have already been approved in the EU. Britain gave the OK to the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine last month. Elsewhere in Europe, the EU concluded early talks to secure 60 million doses of another coronavirus vaccine and Switzerland approved the Moderna shot.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — World leaders welcomed into their ranks the new U.S. President Joe Biden, noting their most pressing problems, including the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, require multilateral cooperation, an approach his predecessor Donald Trump ridiculed. Many expressed hope Biden would right U.S. democracy two weeks after rioters stormed the Capitol, shaking the faith of those fighting for democracy in their own countries. Governments targeted and sanctioned under Trump embraced the chance for a fresh start with Biden, while some heads of state who lauded Trump’s blend of nationalism and populism were more restrained in their expectations. But the chance to repair frayed alliances and work together on global problems carried the day.

VADO HONDO, Guatemala (AP) — Hundreds of Honduran migrants have awoken tired and hungry after a second night stuck along a rural Guatemalan roadside by police and soldiers who will not let them pass. A steep mountain and tall wall flanking the rural highway have allowed Guatemalan authorities to bottle up the group that had numbered about 2,000 when it pushed into Guatemala Friday night. On Monday, their ranks had reduced through attrition as some migrants have agreed to be bused back to the Honduran border. A smaller number have been forcefully sent back after scuffling with authorities who held their line with baton strikes and tear gas.

Amid Capitol violence, Facebook, YouTube remove Trump video

Facebook has removed a short video of President Donald Trump where he is urging supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol to “go home” while at the same time keeping up false attacks about the presidential election. YouTube said it has also removed the video, although it could still be found on the service Wednesday afternoon. Guy Rosen, Facebook’s vice president of integrity, said on Twitter Wednesday that the video was removed because it “contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence.” Twitter, meanwhile, has left the video up but blocked people from being able to retweet it or comment on it.

Twitter CEO defends Trump ban, warns of dangerous precedent

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended his company’s ban of President Donald Trump as the “right decision,” his first public comment on the subject. In a philosophical Twitter thread, he warned that such actions could set a dangerous precedent. Banning an account, he said, revealed Twitter’s “failure” to avoid such situations in the first place. But the executive had little specific to say about how Twitter or other Big Tech companies could do so beyond extolling a long-term project to decentralize social networks, which would theoretically limit the ability of big corporations to decide who stays and who goes on their networks.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bestselling novelist Eric Jerome Dickey has died at age 59. Dickey blended crime, romance and eroticism in “Sister, Sister,” “Waking With Enemies” and dozens of other stories about contemporary Black life. He was an aspiring actor and stand-up comic who began writing fiction in his mid-30s. He shaped a witty, conversational and sometimes graphic prose style that brought him a wide readership through such novels as “Sister, Sister” and “Naughty or Nice” and through his “Gideon” crime fiction series. It included “Sleeping With Strangers” and “Resurrecting Midnight.” A new novel is coming out in April.

EAU CLAIRE (WQOW) - There was blue tape on hockey sticks at Hobbs Ice Arena, and a moment of silence in Chippewa Falls Tuesday as area hockey teams honored the memory of Brooke Kelly.
Kelly, who died in a car accident last week at 14, is the younger sister of Old Abes captain Joe Kelly.
Memorial and Rice Lake players skated with blue tape on their sticks, and held a moment of silence before the game.
In the second period, Joe Kelly scored a goal to give Memorial a 2-0 lead. The Old Abes went on to win 6-2.
