OSHKOSH – Two Oshkosh men have been arrested in connection with an April armed robbery.

Oshkosh police say on Tuesday morning they arrested a 32-year-old man and a 29-year-old man in connection with the April 12 robbery of the Blue Moose convenience store, 1623 Bowen St. That night, a man walked into the store, showing a knife. He got away with some money.

The two men were arrested in the 600 block of Monroe Street, officers say. The 32-year-old is also suspected in a separate burglary and three thefts in Oshkosh, as well as a burglary elswehere in Winnebago County.

The men’s names were not released.

MADISON (AP) – The alternative minimum income tax, which primarily benefits people earning more than $200,000 a year, would be eliminated under a Republican proposal to be voted on by the Legislature’s budget-writing committee as soon as next week.

State Rep. Dale Kooyenga, a Republican accountant from Brookfield, said Thursday he’s working on the proposal after a failed attempt two years ago.

The estimated $63 million loss over the next two years would be made up through a variety of other increases elsewhere, so there is no net effect on tax collections, Kooyenga said. His proposal will be voted on by the Joint Finance Committee as it works on completing the two-year state budget.

“This is not a tax cut,” Kooyenga said. “We’re not talking about cutting taxes.”

The 6.5 percent alternative minimum tax, as described by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau, is a way to ensure that people who save a lot in taxes through deductions and exclusions pay “at least a minimum amount.”

The number of people subject to the tax increased dramatically between the 2012 and 2013 tax years after the Legislature cut rates and reduced the number of brackets. In 2012, there were 2,552 people earning between $200,000 and $500,000 who paid $2.2 million in alternative minimum tax. But the next year, that skyrocketed to 20,081 people in the same income category who paid $14.3 million.

There were also 5,853 people who earned less than $100,000 who paid $4.2 million in the tax, according to the Fiscal Bureau.

It’s not fair to eliminate the tax, given that most who benefit are higher income earners, said Rep. Chris Taylor, a Democrat from Madison who is also on the budget committee.

“It’s not middle-income people,” she said, adding that the reduction can’t be justified given that the committee has already voted to cut the University of Wisconsin System by $250 million and not increase funding for K-12 public schools.

“It’s not the priority of the state,” Taylor said. “No one said give the wealthy another tax break.”

Kooyenga said another part of his plan will include an increase in the standard deduction for married couples, a move that would benefit those earning less than $100,000 a year. His proposal also calls for clarifying the tax code and closing what he described as “very wonky” loopholes.

One example he gave was closing a loophole to make sure people paying for hotel rooms online are taxed on the full cost of the room, not just a portion as happens in some cases.

The Fiscal Bureau has not released an analysis of Kooyenga’s proposal, the details of which he has not yet made public.

Only five other states have an alternative minimum tax. They are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa and Minnesota.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea reported a 10th death from the MERS virus on Thursday, although officials say they believe the disease has peaked.

The victim was a 65-year-old man who had been treated for lung cancer and was hospitalized in the same facility as another MERS patient, the Health Ministry said.

The outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome has caused panic in South Korea. It has infected more than 120 people since the first case, a 68-year-old man who had traveled to the Middle East, was diagnosed on May 20.

About 3,800 people remained isolated Thursday after possible contact with infected people, according to the ministry. More than 2,600 schools and kindergartens across South Korea were closed.

On Wednesday, experts from the World Health Organization and South Korea urged the schools’ reopening as the outbreak in the country has so far been contained to hospitals and there is no evidence of sustained transmission in the community.

South Korean officials believe the outbreak may have peaked, although they say the next few days will be crucial to determining whether their efforts to isolate patients and control the disease have worked. Three people diagnosed with MERS were released from hospitals Thursday, bringing the total discharged to seven.

President Park Geun-hye postponed her planned U.S. visit scheduled next week to focus on coping with the outbreak.

Most of the deaths so far have been of people who had been suffering from pre-existing medical conditions, such as respiratory problems or cancer.

Experts think MERS can spread in respiratory droplets, such as by coughing. But transmissions have mainly occurred through close contact, such as living with or caring for an infected person.

MERS has mostly been centered in Saudi Arabia and has a death rate of about 40 percent among reported cases. It belongs to the family of coronaviruses that includes the common cold and SARS, and can cause fever, breathing problems, pneumonia and kidney failure.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators are going after people who raise money online through crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and GoFundMe but don’t follow through on their promises.

In its first case involving crowdfunding, the Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday that it has settled charges against a man who raised $122,000 through Kickstarter to produce a board game that never materialized. According to the FTC, Erik Chevalier canceled the project and said he would refund the donations, but used the money instead to pay his rent and move.

Crowdfunding has become a popular way to donate money directly to someone in need, from independent filmmakers to do-gooders. The donations are often small, ranging from a couple bucks to a couple thousand dollars.

In one case in Los Angeles, a man’s crowdfunding campaign received $60,000 in less than a month after posting a YouTube video showing how he built a tiny, $500 wooden house on wheels for a homeless woman in his neighborhood. In another case, a Maine man who wanted to donate his kidney to a stranger after seeing a sign in a car window raised $49,000 to defray medical costs.

While this week’s FTC settlement is a warning to online scammers, it also reveals the limits to which the government can protect consumers: Chevalier has been ordered to repay the money, but the judgment is suspended because he doesn’t have any. Otherwise, the settlement prohibits him from lying about future crowdfunding campaigns.

“Many consumers enjoy the opportunity to take part in the development of a product or service through crowdfunding, and they generally know there’s some uncertainty involved in helping start something new,” said Jessica Rich, director of the FTC’s bureau of consumer protection. “But consumers should able to trust their money will actually be spent on the project they funded.”

Chevalier did not respond to requests for comment by telephone or email.

(CNN) Your childhood dream, or nightmare, of combining pizza and hot dogs is coming to life.

That’s what Pizza Hut is unveiling to America.

It’s a pepperoni pizza ringed with more than two dozen pigs in blankets, instead of crust.

The mini-hot dogs can be snapped off the pizza for dipping.

Pizza Hut showed off the concoction on Twitter, calling it the “Hot Dog Bites Pizza”.

The chain says it will be available to customers starting next Thursday.

 

PARIS (AP) — The co-pilot who crashed a Germanwings jet into the Alps feared that he was losing his eyesight, and some of the many doctors he consulted felt he was unfit to fly, a French prosecutor said Thursday.

The doctors didn’t report their concerns to Andreas Lubitz’s employers, however, because of German patient privacy laws, Marseille Prosecutor Brice Robin told reporters in Paris.

Robin met with families of victims Thursday and updated reporters on the status of the investigation into the March 24 crash, which killed all 150 people aboard. Families are just starting to receive remains of their loved ones and will start holding burials in the coming days and weeks.

Robin said the investigation so far “has enabled us to confirm without a shadow of a doubt … Mr. Andreas Lubitz deliberately destroyed the plane and deliberately killed 150 people, including himself.”

Investigators say Lubitz locked the pilot out of the cockpit and flew the plane into a French mountainside, after having researched suicide methods and cockpit door rules and practiced an unusual descent.

Robin said Lubitz had also investigated vision problems, and “feared going blind” — a career-ending malady for a pilot. Lubitz had suffered depression in the past and been on anti-depressants.

Lubitz had seven medical appointments within the month before the March 24 crash, including three appointments with a psychiatrist, Robin said. Some of the doctors felt Lubitz was psychologically unstable, and some felt he was unfit to fly, but “unfortunately that information was not reported because of medical secrecy requirements,” the prosecutor said.

In Germany, doctors risk prison if they disclose information about their patients to anyone unless there is evidence they intend to commit a serious crime or harm themselves.

German prosecutors have said he had no actual physical ailments. Robin said Lubitz complained of seeing flashing lights but that there was no apparent “organic” reason for Lubitz’s apparent vision troubles.

Germanwings and parent company Lufthansa have said that Lubitz had passed all medical tests and was cleared by doctors as fit to fly.

The question for investigators now is who could be held responsible. The prosecutor upgraded the investigation from a preliminary probe to a full-fledged manslaughter inquiry, which hands the case to investigating magistrates who can file eventual charges against people or entities.

German lawyer Peter Kortas, whose firm represents relatives of 34 victims, said negotiations with Germanwings about compensation began several days ago. Families were also seeking answers about delays in the return of victims’ remains.

“In this moment everything else is not as important as the fact that the bodies, (the) remains be returned to their families,” Kortas said. “It’s already more than two and a half months since the crash happened, so it’s finally necessary to get to closure.”

“The loss of the relatives should be compensated with also a suitable amount of money,” he added. “There are two points in these negotiations: First, the material loss for the material damages, and it is also about damages for pain and suffering.”

The first burial is expected Friday. Nearly half of the victims were German, 47 were Spanish and there were 17 nationalities among the remainder.

(CNN) – A new government study finds that underage drinking is on the decline.

The report found that drinking among Americans age 12 to 20 dropped six percent between 2002 and 2013.

Underage binge drinking fell more than five percent.

The report was released Thursday by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

In 2013, about one in every five people questioned between the ages of 12 and 20 said they recently drank alcohol.

GREEN BAY – A new leader has been chosen for Catholic schools in the Green Bay area.

The Green Bay Area Catholic Education system has announced that Kimberly Desotell will be its next president. She will replace Rev. Dane Radecki, who is finishing his three-year commitment to the position later this month.

Desotell most recently worked as the director of development at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. She also has experience as a grade school teacher, a principal, a technology and training specialist, consultant and administrator.

Desotell is a graduate of St. Mary’s College in Indiana, where she majored in education and minored in biology. She has a master’s degree in administration and leadership from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee and is pursuing a doctorate in administrative leadership at UW-Milwaukee.

“The combination of skills that Kim Desotell brings to the role of president of GRACE is outstanding. She has experience in all areas of education and has served as a teacher, a leader and a fundraiser,” Bishop David Ricken of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay said in a news release. “She is committed to the values and outcomes of our Catholic schools. I simply could not have asked for a better person to serve in this role.”

“We look forward to having Kim contribute her expertise from inside the classroom and as an administrator to continue our focus on high-level academic quality,” Bill Micksch, chair of the GRACE board of trustees, said in a news release. “That’s an area that she spoke a lot about with us and it completely aligns with our expectations of excellent delivery in our schools.”

“It is an honor to have the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation of the GRACE system. I truly believe there is a resurgence of energy for Catholic education in our region,” Desotell said in a news release. “I look forward to raising academic outcomes as well as ensuring spiritual guidance for the children served in the GRACE system.”

Desotell is scheduled to take over in July.

The GRACE system includes 10 schools covering 3K-8th grade.

NEW YORK (AP) – Rupert Murdoch is preparing to hand over the CEO job at Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. to his son, James, the company’s news channel Fox News reported Thursday.

Rupert Murdoch, 84, one of the world’s most powerful media barons, remains the chairman and controlling shareholder of the company behind FOX News Channel, FOX broadcast network and the 20th Century Fox movie studio, through a family trust that owns shares. He has been CEO since 1979 and chairman since 1991.

FOX News reported the pending move on its website Thursday, attributing the announcement to Rupert Murdoch. CNBC first reported the story based on sources who requested anonymity.

James Murdoch, 42, is the company’s co-chief operating officer. His brother Lachlan, 43, currently non-executive co-chairman at Fox, will become executive co-chairman along with his father, according to FOX’s story.

Spokespeople for 21st Century Fox did not respond to several requests by The Associated Press for comment.

Rupert Murdoch’s company started with a single newspaper in his native Australia. He grew it across many media platforms in Britain, the U.S., Germany, Italy and India.

By creating the FOX network in the U.S., he shook up broadcast television. Then he tackled cable TV with FOX News.

But his newspapers have had a harder time. A phone hacking scandal in the U.K. stung the company. Under pressure from investors, he split the original News Corp. into print and entertainment companies in 2013.

Rupert Murdoch is also the executive chairman at News Corp., the company that now contains The Wall Street Journal and New York Post newspapers and book publisher HarperCollins.

TOWN OF REID (AP) – Marathon County sheriff’s officials say an 11-year-old boy was accidentally shot when he and another child were playing with a gun.

The shooting happened Wednesday in the Town of Reid near Hatley. Authorities say the 11-year-old and a 15-year-old boy were handling a .22-caliber gun when it discharged.

The younger boy was taken by air to the hospital. His condition has not been released.

TOWN OF MINOCQUA (AP) – Oneida County sheriff’s deputies and Minocqua police officers will be training for a possible shooter at Lakeland Union High School.

The law enforcement training sessions Thursday and Friday involve preparedness drills for a variety of crisis situations. Students are on summer recess.

PEKIN, Ill. (AP) — A study of how Asian carp might be turned into a money-maker in the central Illinois city of Pekin has stirred up citizen complaints.

City leaders have reacted by making it clear that they too don’t want a fish factory.

The Pekin Daily Times reports the $7,500 study was approved by the council in December. The University of Illinois Business Consulting School wrote the report on how the pesky fish could be turned into food or fertilizer.

On Monday, council voted against filing the study. It is a symbolic move, since nothing about filing the study would obligate any further action.

Councilman Mark Luft says an Asian carp facility could smell bad and potentially damage Pekin’s image. Others on the council mentioned similar citizen concerns.

MADISON (AP) – Authorities have released the name of a boater who was found dead after going missing in Lake Mendota in Madison.

The Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man Wednesday as 22-year-old Mohammad Salih Saeed Bagabir of Madison. The office says foul play is not suspected in his death, but additional testing is being done.

Witnesses said Bagabir jumped off a sailboat into the lake to cool off Saturday, but he disappeared. His body was found Monday morning.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports Bagabir’s brother, Abdullah, says they are from Saudi Arabia and came as students to Madison. The newspaper says Mohammad Bagabir was attending Edgewood College.

MILWAUKEE (AP) – The city of Milwaukee has agreed to pay $100,000 to settle a lawsuit from a woman punched by a Milwaukee police officer and pulled out of a police car by her hair.

The settlement was announced Wednesday. The federal civil rights lawsuit was filed on Jeanie Tracy’s behalf in spring 2014.

According to police, Tracy was arrested in September 2011 after a traffic stop. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports video from a squad car shows her stomping her feet, spitting and cursing before being punched, dragged out of the car by her hair and kneed in the stomach by Officer Richard Schoen.

Schoen was initially fired, but a commission said he should get a 60-day suspension. Schoen was dismissed after the commission reversed its decision following public outcry. His firing was upheld by a judge last fall.

A consultant’s report recommends that the Eagle Tower at Peninsula State Park be torn down and replaced.

The 75-foot, 83-year-old tower was closed in May due to its deteriorating condition.

“Based on our field inspection and analysis, it is our opinion that the existing observation tower structure is not structurally adequate to support the superimposed loading conditions and should not be utilized in its current condition… We recommend that the tower structure be closed to the public, razed and a new tower be constructed,” says the report from Edge Consulting Engineers, of Prairie du Sac.

The DNR’s Missy Vanlanduyt says the agency is still reviewing its options. Cost estimates have not been completed for razing or replacement.

She doesn’t anticipate a decision until sometime this fall, at the earliest.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — There’s a puppetry museum in Utah. A vacuum museum in Oregon. A roller skating museum in Nebraska. So, why not a bobblehead hall of fame and museum in Wisconsin?

Two Milwaukee men think their state is the perfect place for this particular type of quirkiness.

“Milwaukeeans also enjoy fun — as can be witnessed by the love for beer, sports and festivals — and bobbleheads are fun,” said Phil Sklar, 31, co-founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

He and friend Brad Novak, also 31, quit their jobs in the business world within the last year to work on starting the museum. They also want to serve as a clearinghouse for bobblehead history and news.

“We’re really looking to become the go-to source for anything bobblehead-related,” Sklar said.

Their aim is to display the world’s largest collection of bobbleheads, 10,000, ranging from athletes, mascots, characters, regular and famous people and others on vibrating shelves; there’s no listing claiming that title on the Guinness Book of World Records’ website. So far, they’ve collected 4,000 bobbleheads in a decade — most have come in the last year from sporting events, yard sales, auctions, websites and thrift stores. Among their weirdest: the “Flo” character from Progressive insurance commercials as well as all of the Milwaukee Brewers’ racing sausages on one bobblehead.

Bobblehead history is hard to come by, Sklar said, but they’ve found some from as far back as 1901, ceramic animals made in Germany. The figures are popular because sports teams usually give away a limited number of them for free as promotions, he added.

In Miami, Marlins Park publicly displays some 700 bobbleheads of current and past baseball players, mascots and broadcasters.

“It’s incredibly popular,” said Matt Britten, the Marlins’ director of marketing and promotions. “I thought after a little while, maybe a couple of years at the ballpark that maybe some of the interest would wane a little bit, but every time we have a home game this is one of the most popular fan attractions.”

Sklar and Novak tried to raise $250,000 through Kickstarter in January, but reached only about $49,000. Though they’ve used some savings and money from friends and family, the majority of their funding comes from — what else? — helping design custom bobbleheads for sports teams, other organizations and individuals, which will continue once the museum opens.

In January, the month in which National Bobblehead Day is observed, the two plan to preview some of the figurines at a local art gallery. Their hope is to find a temporary location in downtown Milwaukee later in 2016 and maybe open for good in the proposed new Milwaukee Bucks arena complex.

For now, it’s about getting the word out, and to do that, they’ve even designed bobbleheads of themselves as promotional items.

“The one of me is probably my favorite,” Novak said.

DANNEMORA, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities searching for two escaped killers who have been on the loose for the better part of a week acknowledged being in the dark about their whereabouts or doings, even as the hunt for the men expanded past state borders.

At a news conference outside the maximum-security prison on Wednesday, New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico said, “I have no information on where they are or what they’re doing, to be honest with you.”

Authorities expanded the search after investigators learned that the inmates had talked before last weekend’s breakout about going to neighboring Vermont.

“We have information that suggests they thought New York was going to be hot. Vermont would be cooler, in terms of law enforcement,” Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said at the news conference with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Shumlin and other officials would not say how authorities learned that information.

On Thursday morning, a Philadelphia cab driver reported picking up two men who matched the descriptions of the escaped killers, Richard Matt and David Sweat, and dropping them off at the city’s Amtrak station. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said such possible sightings have been reported in several cities and he had no reason to think the inmates were in Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, Wednesday night another search began closer to the prison.

D’Amico said that a prison employee — identified in news reports as Joyce Mitchell, a training supervisor at the prison tailor shop — had befriended the killers and “may have had some role in assisting them.”

He would not elaborate.

Mitchell’s son, Tobey Mitchell, told NBC that she checked herself into a hospital with chest pains Saturday. He said she wouldn’t have helped the inmates escape.

Using power tools, inmates Sweat and Matt cut through a steel wall, broke through bricks and crawled through a steam pipe before emerging through a manhole in the street outside the 3,000-inmate Clinton Correctional Facility in far northern New York, about 20 miles from the Canadian border.

The breakout was discovered early Saturday, meaning the inmates may have had a head start of several hours, Cuomo said.

Authorities suspect the inmates had help from the inside in obtaining the power tools. Unions representing guards and civilian staff members at the prison said many have been questioned by investigators but no one has been disciplined or charged.

Vermont authorities are patrolling Lake Champlain and areas alongside it, Shumlin said. Cuomo urged the people of Vermont to be on the alert and report anything suspicious, warning: “Trust me, these men are nothing to be trifled with.”

A road east of Dannemora remained closed Thursday morning at state troopers manned road blocks, and the 1,500-student Saranac Central School District called off classes because of all the police activity in the area just four miles east of the prison.

As part of the search, state troopers and correction officers in helmets and body armor retraced their steps around the prison, checking garage doors, sheds, windows and other structures for signs of a break-in or other clues.

More than 450 federal and state law enforcement officers were taking part in the search, including customs agents, federal marshals and park rangers.

The killers’ mugshots have been put on more than 50 digital billboards in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, police said, and a $100,000 reward has been posted.

Law enforcement officials again asked the public to report anything out of the ordinary.

“We don’t want them out searching the woods,” Sheriff David Favro said. “But if you’re sitting on your porch, get your binoculars out and see if you see something unusual.”

In Dannemora, Barbara McCasland said officers asked to search her home but she told them no.

“I’m pretty battened down here,” she said. “My windows are locked and everything.”

As the manhunt dragged on, she said she was getting worried: “I wasn’t in the beginning, but seeing that they’ve been out there so long, I am a little nervous.”

Many in the prison town greeted the return of the searchers with a shrug. Many suspect Sweat and Matt are long gone and they are past any danger.

“I’m not worried about it,” Jackie Trombley said.

Referring to the searchers swarming the area, she said: “We’ve got these guys down the road. They’re everywhere, so it really doesn’t bother me.”
