MENASHA – A bicyclist was taken to the hospital after being hit by a minivan Monday morning.

Menasha police say the crash happened around 8:45 a.m. in the 700 block of Valley Road.

The bicyclist was listed in critical condition Monday at Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah.

MADISON (AP) – One of Gov. Scott Walker’s former aides has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to toss out her conviction for campaigning on government time.

Kelly Rindfleisch served as Walker’s deputy chief of staff when Walker was the Milwaukee County executive. Prosecutors accused her of working on Walker’s gubernatorial campaign and Republican Brett Davis’ lieutenant government campaign out of her county office. She was convicted in 2012 of one felony count of misconduct in office.

She argued in a petition to the Supreme Court that the warrants used to seize her email messages were unconstitutionally broad. A state appeals court rejected a similar argument this past November.

The state Department of Justice is defending the appeal. A DOJ spokeswoman says the agency is reviewing the petition.

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Authorities are investigating two infant deaths in Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiners’ Office says a 6-week-old boy was found unresponsive in his bouncy seat Sunday. The baby was pronounced dead about 4 a.m.

In a separate case, a 4-month-old boy was sleeping in a play pen before he was found dead Saturday about 6 p.m.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former New Orleans Saints player Darren Sharper pleaded guilty Monday to rape in a Louisiana drug-and-sexual-assault case, completing a series of pleas in four states that will see him serve at least nine years in prison.

Sharper entered his plea in a Louisiana state court in New Orleans. He had already pleaded guilty in the federal courthouse in that city late last month.

Sharper was first arrested on rape charges in Los Angeles in January of 2014 and has been jailed since February of that year. Allegations of drug-related rapes in other states followed, resulting eventually in charges being filed in Arizona and Nevada, as well as in state and federal courts in New Orleans.

A plea deal was announced in March to resolve the charges in all jurisdictions. On March 23, Sharper pleaded guilty to sexual assault in Arizona and no contest in California. He was sentenced to nine years in Arizona and is expected to draw a nine-year sentence when sentenced in California in July.

On March 24, Sharper pleaded guilty in Las Vegas to a reduced felony: attempted sex assault.

Sharper made a brief appearance in a state courtroom in New Orleans on April 7. But Louisiana District Judge Karen Herman delayed the case pending resolution of the federal charges, raising questions about when the series of plea deals would be completed and whether there had been any snags in the agreements.

The federal indictment in Louisiana charged Sharper and another man with distributing the drugs alprazolam, diazepam and zolpidem — more commonly known by the brand names Xanax, Valium and Ambien, respectively — with the intent to commit rape.

The two Louisiana state counts of aggravated rape stemmed from accusations that he sexually assaulted two drug-impaired women at his apartment in September 2013.

Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times during a career that included stints with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and in the Saints’ 2010 victory.

Wisconsin’s maximum speed limit will be bumped up this week.

The state Department of Transportation says, weather permitting, county highway crews will be posting 70 mph speed limit signs along some stretches of interstates on Tuesday and Wednesday. About 470 of the signs will be installed along about 810 miles of interstate; a recent engineering analysis found the speed limit could be raised on more than the initially specified 726 miles.

The DOT reminds drivers that the speed limit in a given area remains as posted until new signs go up. Also, some stretches of interstate, such as Interstate 41 in the Appleton area, will remain at 65 mph.

A civil lawsuit brought by the estate of murder victim Teresa Halbach has been dismissed at the family’s request.

Halbach’s family sued Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey in civil court, seeking damages. Both men are serving life prison terms for the 2005 murder of Halbach.

The estate filed the wrongful death lawsuit in March 2006. After a hearing in November 2013, the case was put on hold while the criminal appeals continued.

But in a letter to Sheboygan County Judge Angela Sutkiewicz, Patrick Coffey, the estate’s attorney, said their position changed.

“At this point, my client would like to dismiss this action against Mr. Avery regardless of his appeal status in the criminal case. To that end, attached please find a voluntary dismissal that has been executed by me on behalf of the Halbach Family,” Coffey wrote.

The judge signed the order earlier this month.

DALLAS (AP) — James Boulware told family members that he had foreseen a deadly Japanese tsunami and the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting in his dreams. Police say he choked his mother. And he seethed at police, blaming them for the lost custody of his son.

Boulware, the man authorities have linked to a weekend shooting outside Dallas police headquarters, showed signs of violence and mental instability for years beforehand, according to accounts from authorities and family members.

His brother, Andrew Boulware, told The Associated Press that he and others in the family had tried to get him help, particularly after the 2013 incident in which he allegedly choked his mother, then fled to an East Texas town where authorities and family members thought he might attack schools and churches.

“He never was properly diagnosed,” Andrew Boulware said Sunday. “He could be the nicest guy in the world. He tried to help friends out whenever he could. He was not a bitter person.”

Authorities say it was miraculous no one else was injured in Saturday’s attack, in which the shooter sprayed the front of the building with gunfire just after midnight. After opening fire, the suspect drove an armored van into a squad car, still firing, then led police on a chase to a restaurant parking lot in the suburb of Hutchins. A police sniper shot the man during a standoff, but it took several hours to confirm his death out of fear that he had loaded his van with more explosives.

Police on Sunday said they had put 14 officers involved in the incident on standard administrative leave pending an investigation.

Two years ago, Boulware was arrested for family violence in Dallas, though the case was later dismissed. According to a Dallas police report, a witness said Boulware was in his mother’s house and “began talking rudely about religion, Jews and Christians.” The report said Boulware then grabbed his mother by the neck for 2-3 seconds until a third person could pull him off. The two men fought until Boulware left the house.

The police report said he was reported later that day to be in Paris, Texas, about 100 miles away, where he grabbed weapons and body armor and talked about “shooting up schools and churches.” Andrew Boulware and his father, Jim Boulware, confirmed the incident.

Andrew Boulware recalled James Boulware claiming he had dreamed about the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and other disasters before they had happened. But he said authorities in Dallas ignored family members’ statements that James was mentally unstable.

“They diagnosed him as sane in 15 minutes,” Boulware said.

James Boulware’s mother, Jeannine Hammond, said in a statement to local media that she considered her son “lost to mental health” long before his death.

“We tried to get him mental help numerous times, but the system failed him, because he was declared ‘sane,'” she said in the statement. “He was very delusional. It was very obvious.

“We hope something good can come from this, and that people will reach out to hurting souls around them and unite to build up others, rather than tearing them down,” she added. “We hope that people with mental illness will receive the care they need to avoid situations like this in the future.”

James Boulware lost custody of his son, which weighed on him deeply and caused him to distrust police, his father said.

Howard told TV station KDFW that she was granted custody of the child on Monday.

Andrew Boulware said he hadn’t seen his brother since immediately after the March 2013 incident, despite making several attempts to contact him.

“We had tried for two years,” he said. “I didn’t honestly think that he would ever go this far, but it was always in the back of my mind that it was a possibility.”

MADISON (AP) – Campaign finance records show the political action committee founded by former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold spent only 5 percent of its income on federal candidates and political parties.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Monday reported on the data compiled by the group OpenSecrets.org.

The data shows that nearly half of the $7.1 million that Progressives United PAC has spent since being formed in 2011 has gone to raising more money for itself.

Wisconsin Republican Party executive director Joe Fadness calls the money raised “bogus slush funds” that Feingold used as a “personal ATM machine.”

Feingold sent an email to supporters Monday saying Republicans were attacking the PAC’s work “because it undermines their power when people like you have a voice.”

Feingold is challenging U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson in 2016.

A judge has dismissed a Kewaunee County farm’s appeal of its state-issued pollution permit.

After a challenge by residents, a state adminsitrative law judge issued a permit to Kinnard Farms. But the 19-page decision also ordered the farm to install monitoring wells to test groundwater in the area, and limited the number of animals it could have.

Kinnard Farms appealed to the circuit courts. The case was assigned to Door County Judge Todd Ehlers, who filed a decision Thursday upholding the permit.

The Department of Natural Resources’ motion to dismiss the challenge was granted, court documents show.

VATICAN CITY (AP) – The embattled archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis and a deputy bishop resigned Monday after prosecutors there charged the archdiocese with having failed to protect children from unspeakable harm from a pedophile priest.

The Vatican said Pope Francis accepted the resignations of Archbishop John Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee Anthony Piche. They resigned under the code of canon law that allows bishops to resign before they retire because of illness or some other “grave” reason that makes them unfit for office.

Earlier this month, prosecutors charged the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis as a corporation of having “turned a blind eye” to repeated reports of inappropriate behavior by a priest who was later convicted of molesting two boys. No individual was named in the complaint.

The resignations came on the same day that the Vatican announced it was putting its former ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Jozef Wesolowski, on trial in a Vatican court on charges he sexually abused boys in the Caribbean country and possessed child pornography. Wesolowski, who has already been defrocked after being convicted in a canon law court, now faces possible jail time if convicted by the criminal tribunal of the Vatican City State.

The charges against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis came after a diocesan canon lawyer-turned-whistleblower alleged widespread cover-up of clergy sex misconduct in the archdiocese, saying archbishops and their top staff lied to the public and ignored the U.S. bishops’ pledge to have no tolerance of priests who abuse.

In a statement, Nienstedt said he was stepping down to give the archdiocese a new beginning. But he insisted he was leaving “with a clear conscience knowing that my team and I have put in place solid protocols to ensure the protection of minors and vulnerable adults.”

He had refused to resign as recently as last year after his former archivist, canon lawyer Jennifer Haselberger, charged that the church used a chaotic system of record-keeping that helped conceal the backgrounds of guilty priests who remained on assignment.

She said she repeatedly warned Nienstedt and his aides about the risk of keeping priests accused of abuse in ministry, but they took action only in one case. As a result of raising alarms, she said she was eventually shut out of meetings about priest misconduct, and later resigned.

In a statement, Piche said: “The people of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis need healing and hope. I was getting in the way of that, and so I had to resign.”

The criminal charges against the archdiocese stem from its handling of Curtis Wehmeyer, a former priest at Church of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Paul, who is serving a five-year prison sentence for molesting two boys and faces prosecution involving a third boy in Wisconsin.

Prosecutors say church leaders failed to respond to “numerous and repeated reports of troubling conduct” by Wehmeyer from the time he entered seminary until he was removed from the priesthood in 2015. The criminal complaint says many people – including parishioners, fellow priests and parish staff – reported issues with Wehmeyer, and many of those claims were discounted.

Just days ago, Pope Francis approved the creation of a new tribunal inside the Vatican to hear cases of bishops who failed to protect children from sexually abusive priests. Francis’ decision followed years of criticism that the Vatican had never held bishops accountable for having ignored warnings about abusive priests and simply moved them from parish to parish rather than report them to police or remove them from ministry.

In April, Francis accepted the resignation of U.S. bishop Robert Finn, who had been convicted in a U.S. court of failing to report a suspected child abuser.

Classes are resuming in the rural school district located near the northern New York prison where two convicted murderers escaped more than a week ago.

Officials at the Saranac Central School District say classes will be held Monday after being called off last Thursday and Friday while hundreds of law enforcement officers combed the surrounding area for David Sweat and Richard Matt.

The district’s schools are located just a few miles from Clinton Correctional Facility in the village of Dannemora. The search for the two convicts continues Monday.

School officials say they’ve arranged with state police for law enforcement officers to patrol the district’s campuses from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and locations where buses pick up and drop off students.

The district has suspended all outdoor activities.

Our humid air remains in place through Monday night.

There are areas of fog this morning and a chance for showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Jeb Bush is ready to launch a Republican presidential bid months in the making on Monday by asserting his commitment to the “most vulnerable in our society,” an approach targeting the broader American electorate even as he faces questions about his policies from conservatives in his own party.

Six months after he got the 2016 campaign started by saying he was considering a bid, the 62-year-old former Florida governor will formally enter the race with a speech and rally near his south Florida home at Miami Dade University, an institution selected because it serves a large and diverse student body that’s symbolic of the nation he seeks to lead.

“My core beliefs start with the premise that the most vulnerable in our society should be in the front of the line and not the back,” Bush says in a video featuring women, minorities and a disabled child to be aired at the event before his Monday afternoon announcement speech. “What we need is new leadership that takes conservative principles and applies them so that people can rise up.”

Bush joins the crowded Republican campaign in some ways in a commanding position. The brother of one president and son of another, Bush has likely raised a recording- breaking amount of money to support his candidacy and conceived of a new approach on how to structure his campaign, both aimed at allowing him to make a deep run into the GOP primaries.

But on other measures, early public opinion polls among them, he has yet to break out. While unquestionably one of the top-tier candidates in the GOP race, he is also only one of several in a capable Republican field that does not have a true front-runner.

In the past six months, Bush has made clear he will remain committed to his core beliefs in the campaign to come – even if his positions on immigration and education standards are deeply unpopular among the conservative base of the party that plays an outsized role in the GOP primaries.

“I’m not going to change who I am,” Bush said as he wrapped up a week-long European trip this weekend. “I respect people who may not agree with me, but I’m not going to change my views because today someone has a view that’s different.”

Bush is one of 11 major Republicans in the hunt for the nomination. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are among those still deciding whether to join a field that could end up just shy of 20.

But few among them entered the race with such a high expectations of success as did Bush. Those expectations have seemed a burden at times.

Take, for example, the question of whether Bush will report raising $100 million for his campaign in the first six months of the year. Lost amid the “will he or won’t he” is that Bush probably will have raised more in six months than former presidential nominee Mitt Romney raised in the first year before the 2012 election.

Still, Bush’s return to politics since leaving the governor’s office in 2007 has been underwhelming at times.

His speaking style often leaves something to be desired, particularly when compared with some opponents. He sometimes gets snippy during long campaign days. While detailed policy questions are often his strength, he struggled for several days last month to answer a predictable question about the war in Iraq waged by his brother, former President George W. Bush.

Bush’s team acknowledges political challenges, but dismisses critics who decry a recent staffing shift as proof of a nascent campaign already in crisis. Just as his strengths are exaggerated, they say, so are his weaknesses.

“Gov. Bush recognizes, and he’s going to highlight on Monday, the fact that he needs to earn every vote – and he’s going to take nothing and nobody for granted,” campaign spokesman Tim Miller said.

Indeed, Bush’s team is about to get more aggressive. In his speech Monday, Bush plans to make the case that those involved in creating Washington’s problems can’t fix them. The point is designed to jab Republican senators – one of them his political protégé in Florida, Marco Rubio – who are also seeking the presidential nomination.

And Bush’s fundraising operation is not slowing down.

After touring four early-voting states, Bush quickly launches a private fundraising tour with stops in at least 11 cities before the end of the month. Two events alone – a reception at Union Station in Washington on Friday and a breakfast the following week on Seventh Avenue in New York – will account for almost $2 million in new campaign cash, according to invitations that list more than 75 donors committed to raising big money.

BELOIT, Wis. (AP) – Authorities say one person was killed and seven others were injured when a semitrailer struck three cars on a highway in southern Wisconsin after people stopped to help a woman accused of driving drunk.

The Wisconsin State Patrol says the 20-year-old Janesville woman crashed her Ford Taurus into a guardrail Saturday night on Interstate 39/90 near Beloit. The car was disabled on the highway. Drivers of two other vehicles stopped to help.

According to the state patrol, a semitrailer smashed into the Taurus and the other vehicles. A 27-year-old Lake Geneva woman in one of the other vehicles was killed, while two boys in the backseat suffered life-threatening injuries. The driver of that car was also hurt, as were three Deerfield residents in the third vehicle.

The Janesville woman was arrested and had non-life-threatening injuries.

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) – Severe flooding in the Georgian capital left at least 12 people dead Sunday and triggered a big-game hunt across the city for lions, tigers, a hippopotamus and other dangerous animals that escaped from Tbilisi’s ravaged zoo.

Residents were warned to stay indoors as police conducted the hunt, but fear deepened as night fell on the city of 1.1 million with some of the animals still on the loose.

“The daytime wasn’t bad,” said resident Khariton Gabashvili, “but tonight everyone has to be very careful because all the beasts haven’t been captured. They haven’t been fed, and in their hungry state they might attack people.”

Heavy rain turned a normally pleasant city stream into a fierce torrent that destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes in the former Soviet republic. Officials said 12 people were known to have died and about two dozen others were missing.

There were no immediate reports that any of the dead were killed by the animals, which ran off after the floodwaters destroyed their enclosures. Among the beasts that escaped were bears, wolves and monkeys.

A hippopotamus – an extremely aggressive animal with the ability to run faster than humans in short bursts – was spotted lumbering through a flooded square not far from the zoo and was shot with a tranquilizer dart. Other animals were hunted down and killed.

The carcasses of at least a lion, a boar and a tiger were seen, and zoo authorities said six wolves were also dead.

Authorities said the animals may have fled to just about any corner of Tbilisi, including the forests on the steep hills in the city’s heart.

“I feel frenzied. The youngsters can’t go out and walk around. I sat on the balcony with them and played games, so they could breathe some fresh air,” said 25-year-old Khatuna Bolkvadze, a mother of two who lives near the zoo.

Zoo spokeswoman Mzia Sharashidze said a count of the escaped animals was not immediately possible because so many of the zoo’s enclosures were under water. But she said five lions were unaccounted for and many monkeys had escaped.

Three zoo workers were found dead on its grounds, including a woman who less than a month ago lost an arm in a tiger attack. Her husband was also reported dead.

The floodwaters gouged huge chunks out of roads and swamped numerous homes. Helicopters circled the city, and volunteers and rescue workers labored to help residents despite the danger from the escaped animals.

“On this small street there are five dead, three houses completely washed out and everyone is affected,” said Lamara Zumburidze, a resident of the hardest-hit section of the city. “I don’t know where to sit, where to lie, what to do.”

Some officials accused authorities of using unnecessary force against the wild beasts.

Zoo director Zurab Gurielidze said one of the park’s most beloved attractions, a young white lion named Shumba, had been found shot in the head.

“Our Shumba is no more,” he lamented, according to the news agency Interfax. “It’s simply possible that someone exceeded his authority.”

The head of the Georgian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Ilia II, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as telling a Sunday Mass that Georgia’s former Communist rulers bear responsibility for the disaster.

“When Communists came to us in this country, they ordered that all crosses and bells of the churches be melted down and the money used to build the zoo,” he said. “The sin will not go without punishment. I am very sorry that Georgians fell so that a zoo was built at the expense of destroyed churches.”
