Oshkosh Weighs New Smoking Rules for Parks and Public Spaces

Oshkosh’s current proposal follows an earlier effort to make city parks smoke-free. The Northwestern reported that in 2018 the Park Board adopted a park-wide smoking rule without a Common Council vote, describing it as a pilot for staff to review after a year. The report said the effort grew from advocacy by the re:TH!NK Youth Coalition, made up of county health staff and Oshkosh students, and that a survey of about 150 park-goers found roughly 80% favored a ban. The Northwestern’s 2018 report provides that history.

How Wisconsin shaped a horror legend

Robert Bloch was a familiar name to me. I had read some of his horror stories, I knew he was the author of “Psycho,” and I’d seen the Alfred Hitchcock movie based on it. But one thing I didn’t know until last month: Bloch, legendary author of horror, fantasy and science fiction books, and screenplays — including episodes of the original Star Trek series — lived and worked in Wisconsin for much of his life.
