Measles detected in three new counties: Columbia, Green Lake and Sauk

Measles has been detected in three new Wisconsin counties, as one of the worst outbreaks in the nation shows no sign of stopping. Columbia County in central Wisconsin reported 33 cases of measles; neighboring Green Lake County has confirmed five cases ; and Sauk County, northwest of Madison, has reported 10 cases, all of which were linked to other infections in Wisconsin, according to news releases from the county health departments and data from the state health department. Wisconsin is now reporting 487 cases of measles across 16 counties, the most recorded by the state in over 35 years, according to data from the state Department of Health Services and local health departments. The state's measles dashboard on Friday, Nov. 6, showed a lower total because it had not yet accounted for the 10 cases detected in Sauk County. That county's health department issued a news release Friday confirming the new infections. At least nine people have been hospitalized, and an infant in Grant County has died from measles , the state's first fatality from the disease since 1990. All but three cases have been in people who did not receive the measles vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing

Mustangs get back to basics in state quarterfinal win over Wrightstown

Mark Krommenacker isn't above reproach when it comes to his play-calling. The second-year Little Chute head coach admitted that maybe he went a little too exotic in some of his calls in the second quarter of the Mustangs' WIAA Division 4 state football quarterfinal matchup Nov. 6 against Wrightstown. A pick-six in the second quarter gave the Tigers a halftime lead, but the Mustangs went back to basics in the second half to upend the Tigers 26-14. Little Chute (11-1) moves on to the state semifinals to face North Eastern Conference rival Freedom (12-0) at Ashwaubenon High School on Nov. 13. The Mustangs led 12-7 after the first quarter and were looking to stage another scoring drive when Wrightstown's Lincoln Hermsen picked off a play-action pass from Jaden Hermsen at the line of scrimmage and returned it 35 yards for the touchdown. That made the score 14-12 at the half and Krommenacker knew what he had to do in the second half. "We were a little bit maybe shell-shocked at that time, and rightfully so, because Wrightstown came out and had a good plan and got after us," Krommenacker said. "I think it's my fault. I got a little too

Oshkosh reader says context matters when reading holy texts

Here is this week’s letter to the editor of the Oshkosh Northwestern . See our letters policy below for details about how to share your views. Read more in Opinion: Click here for the latest Opinion headlines Reading scripture passages in context Understanding scripture requires reading the surrounding text, not interpreting isolated phrases. This encourages fairness, respect and a fuller understanding. In Matthew 10:34-36, Jesus says, “I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Read in context, these words may describe family divisions arising from differing responses to his message rather than necessarily referring to physical warfare. This interpretation can be considered alongside Jesus’ teachings about peacemaking, loving enemies and praying for persecutors (Matthew 5:9, 43-48), providing a broader context for understanding his words. Exodus 21:23-25 presents “eye for eye, tooth for tooth” within laws addressing injury and responsibility. Its legal context should be considered before interpreting it as personal revenge. Comparing it with Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:38-42 requires recognizing their different contexts. The Promised Messiah explained that Quranic teachings about fighting must be understood within their historical and textual contexts, particularly circumstances involving persecution, aggression and restrictions on warfare. Verse 2:190 of the Holy Quran commands Muslims
