A draw wasn't the result the Badgers wanted but it was much better than what was staring them in the face late in regulation.

Empty Stocking Club saw an increase in families needing toys last year.

From butchering to packaging to making sausage and hamburger, processors have become an essential part of Wisconsin's storied hunting tradition.

The Badgers struggled to shoot in the first half, but their coach doesn't see that as a troubling trend.

The first of two parts. Part 2 is next week.

Our hard-working Madison City Council deserves acknowledgment and gratitude for its data-based Vision Zero strategy to reduce traffic accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists.

I didn’t find much hope in Tom Still's Sunday column, “Good or bad, AI can’t be ignored.”

The Nov. 22 letter to the editor "Israeli troops should protect convoys of aid" correctly describes the humanitarian situation in Gaza and suggested that the Israel Defense Forces escort trucks suppling food and medicine to Gaza.

With the election over, I’ve concluded we, as citizens, need to stay active and provide pushback and constructive criticism to help preserve this democracy of ours.
