Good morning, Fond du Lac.

Dozens of veterans on the Old Glory Honor Flight visited war memorials in Washington, D.C. and will return home today as their plane is scheduled to land at Appleton International Airport at 10:30 p.m.—families and local supporters are eagerly awaiting their return.

One man from Fond du Lac died and two others were injured when his SUV, attempting a left turn, was struck by a dump truck at approximately 2:10 p.m. Tuesday, May 27 at the intersection of County Highway B and County Highway K in the Town of Eden — the crash sent vehicles into nearby ditches as investigators continue to review the scene.

Dr. Jeffrey Fleig retired on May 20th after four years as superintendent—during which the school district improved its ranking from 375th to 205th and all schools met expectations in the 2023-24 year.

The Board of Education welcomed Mr. Matt Steinbarth as the new superintendent to further increase student achievement.

Governor Tony Evers visited Oshkosh on Tuesday wearing a safety vest and picking up a shovel during his annual pothole patrol to show his budget plan that will add more funds for road repairs.

He said the plan has bipartisan support even as lawmakers continue debating the proposals.

Ginger Giebel, RN, a clinical operations manager at SSM Health Fond du Lac Regional Clinic, was honored with the first DAISY Leader Award for her compassionate leadership that prioritizes patient care and supports staff plus strengthens community trust.

The award includes a certificate, a recognition pin and a Healer’s Touch sculpture.

On Tuesday, the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders played the Madison Mallards at Herr-Baker Field while the Green Bay Rockers took on the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters at Capital Credit Union Park — both games started at 6:35 p.m.

The Dock Spiders hosted Fan Fest and beat the Manitowoc Bandits 8 to 1 in an exhibition game, stealing four bases in the first five innings to set high hopes for a revamped 2025 season.

They began their season with four games against the Madison Mallards on Monday and Tuesday — relying on veteran players for a fresh start — and look to build on a promising beginning.
