Good morning, Fond du Lac.

Fond du Lac Police said on April 7 that a man aged 38 from Fond du Lac lost control on Pioneer Road and his car flipped—he was airlifted to Froedtert Medical Center in Milwaukee—and hours later a woman aged 20 from Neenah had a rollover when she missed a bend, receiving treatment at the scene for non-serious injuries.

After a five-day trial at Fond du Lac County Circuit Court, 39-year-old Christopher Hoerth was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide for giving fentanyl to his sister on May 6th, 2020—he now faces over 30 years in confinement with a sentencing date pending.

The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for help identifying a reckless motorcycle driver involved in the April 5 incident, when he drove 124 mph on Lakeshore Drive and 134 mph on I-41—after two suspects were identified, officers are still seeking the third.

Tracy Lawrence, a country music star, will perform on the National Exchange Bank — Trust stage at the Holiday Automotive Grandstand on Saturday, July 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets for his show go on sale Friday at 9 a.m. as the Fond du Lac County Fair runs from July 16 through 20.

Marian University’s Koonce Scholars Program raised $250,000 to match a Packers Foundation grant and brought total support to $500,000 to help low-income students access higher education.

The campaign reached its goal a year early thanks to multiple donors—among them a $100,000 gift from Drexel Building Supply known for supporting the community.

The City of Fond du Lac began road enhancements on Main Street from 6th to Merrill starting the week of April 7 using temporary lane closures to keep sidewalks and business entrances open.

The two-phase project will mill and repave the road on North Main in late April and then South Main, and is set to finish on September 6 — improving safety and drivability.

Today, the American Red Cross is urging local donors to give blood to keep supplies steady during travel season while offering incentives to encourage donations (a $15 Amazon gift card for donations through April 13 and entry into a drawing for a $5,000 gift card if donated by April 15). Donors who give blood from April 14 to April 30 will receive a T-shirt and can visit the blood drive at the Iola-Scandinavia Fitness and Aquatic Center from 12 to 5 p.m. (local drives help maintain the critical blood supply).

Senior Tanner Alsteen of Marian University baseball was named the NACC Pitcher of the Week after throwing a shutout against Edgewood and limiting hits in relief against Dominican—amassing 13 innings with just one unearned run.

The team will travel to St. Norbert for a noon conference doubleheader later.
