9 Secrets About Beavers That Most Wisconsin Residents Have Never Discovered

Wisconsin is home to countless lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands, making it one of the most suitable places in the country for beavers. These large rodents are familiar to many residents, especially those who spend time near wooded waterways. A fallen tree with a neatly cut trunk, a pile of branches across a stream, or a rounded lodge rising above the water may reveal that beavers have been working nearby.

Both almanacs forecast chilly, winter-like Thanksgiving in Wisconsin

It could be chilly Thanksgiving across Wisconsin, and you might even spot a few flurries in the air, according to forecasts from two almanacs. While Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, the Farmers' Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac have both released forecasts looking ahead to the holiday – and they're each predicting the weather in Wisconsin to be a little more winter-like by then. The Farmers' Almanac expects the holiday week to be cold across the Midwest, including the potential for scattered snow showers or flurries. "While a blockbuster storm is not currently indicated, some brief travel slowdowns could develop where snow showers pop up," the Farmers' Almanac said. Overall, the pattern across the country is typical of late November, the almanac said, though some regions could still see wet roads, snow showers or chilly conditions. More: Historic El Niño could bring less snow, warmer winter to Wisconsin The Old Farmer's Almanac forecasts a chance of rain and snow in the Milwaukee area during Thanksgiving week, along with a "cool nip in the air," so "give yourself plenty of time for holiday travel." In the Upper Midwest, the almanac predicts flurries and snow showers, plus colder-than-normal temperatures. Snow in

Wisconsin's 50+ vote could swing tight races

Older voters could play a decisive role in Wisconsin’s midterm election and a recent survey offers a glimpse into what is motivating them as they head to the polls Nov. 3. AARP Wisconsin surveyed voters in the state’s most competitive congressional districts. Erin Fabrizius, associate state director of advocacy for AARP Wisconsin, said while top issues like rising living costs, Social Security and Medicare and taxes are driving older residents to cast their ballots, a significant number of them did not seem set on who they planned to vote for. "About 21% of voters 50 plus are, at the time of the poll, persuadable, meaning that they were not firmly committed to either party," Fabrizius reported. However, 85% of those surveyed said they are more likely to support a candidate who would protect Social Security from cuts. The findings come as candidates in Wisconsin’s competitive congressional races offer differing approaches to retirement security. In the 3rd District, Democratic candidate Rebecca Cooke has proposed repealing taxes on Social Security benefits and expanding Medicare coverage, while Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., voted for President Donald Trump’s tax-and-spending law , which provides temporary tax breaks for seniors but could make it harder for

Alabama chancellor selected as new UW president

(The Center Square) – There will soon be a new president at the University of Wisconsin. University regents recently announced they have hired Tonjanita Johnson as the school's new president. Johnson comes to the UW from the University of Alabama, where she served as the senior vice chancellor for academic and student affairs. She replaces Jay Rothman who was forced out in April. "Public higher education has the power to improve lives, strengthen communities and shape a state’s future," Johnson said in a statement. "I look forward to working with our chancellors, faculty, staff, students, elected leaders and partners across Wisconsin to ensure that our universities remain engines of opportunity, innovation and economic vitality." The university did not say how much Johnson will be paid, but Rothman was making $600,000 a year as UW president. Johnson will start as university president early next year. She will assume control of a university system that is facing some serious challenges. The UW, also on Friday, released its official enrollment numbers for the new school year. "Overall enrollment totaled 164,579 in fall 2026, according to 10th day enrollment figures, a decrease of 1,233 students, or 0.7%, from fall 2025," the university said in
