Missing Surgeon Found Dead In Iron County
A missing UW-Health surgeon was found dead Sunday morning in Iron County. Iron County Sheriff’s officials say the body of 30-year-old Kelsey Musgrove (pictured) was discovered just before 11:30 am in an area near Potato River Falls. An investigation into the cause of death is ongoing, but no foul play is suspected at this time. She was a cardiothoracic surgery fellow at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. She lived in Middleton and had gone hiking at the Potato River Falls in Gurney where she was last contacted on March 26th. Middleton Police reported her missing on March 30th. Sheriff’s officials say they conducted an “extensive” ground, air and water search, which included 25 external agencies throughout Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. Iron County Sheriff Paul Samardich expressed his department’s condolences to Kelsey’s family.
Mixed Messages On The Ukraine
Congressman Glenn Grothman says it is hard to get definitive information about what is going on with Russia and the Ukraine. He says he’s talked with members of the Biden Administration, but it is hard to know if Russian leader Vladimir Putin is getting accurate information about how his troops are faring in Ukraine, whether they are pulling back or regrouping and if indeed some are fleeing Russia to avoid having to serve in the Russian Army. The federal lawmaker from Glenbeulah doesn’t object to the U.S. taking in 100,000 Ukraine refugees, but says it might be better if we expedite them ahead of other refugees entering our country.
Boys And Girls Club Excited To Be Coming To Ripon
Ripon residents aren’t the only ones excited about having the Boys & Girls Club of the Tri-County Area coming to the city. The club already has locations in Berlin and Green Lake and has purchased a property in downtown Ripon. Jason Presto is the CEO for the club. He says there has to be a demonstrated need before they can locate in a community and support for the club, which Ripon has demonstrated. Presto says free and reduced lunch numbers have increased over the past 20 years, poverty numbers have increased, COVID-19 has put stress on mental health and there have been other factors. He says he went to college in Ripon and has ties to it so he is very pleased about the club coming to the city. He says they have hired an architect and in a month or so they will have a better timeline for when things will happen.
