In dairy-obsessed Wisconsin, plan just too ‘gouda’ to fail
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Legislature agreed Tuesday to make cheese the official dairy product of the state, which produces more than 3 billion pounds of cheese per year. That’s more than any other state.
The idea to give cheese its rightly place in state designations came from a fourth-grade class in Mineral Point, a city in southwest Wisconsin.
The Senate approved the measure Tuesday. The bill previously cleared the state Assembly, and Republican Gov. Scott Walker is expected to sign it.
The search is on for missing Alaska python
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A misplaced pet is causing concern in a community north of Anchorage, Alaska.
Animal control officials in Matanuska-Susitna Borough say a 17-foot python that weighs 100 pounds escaped in a neighborhood in Meadow Lakes. Animal care officer Darla Erskine says the owner went door-to-door notifying neighbors and continues to search for the bright-yellow and white reptile.
Animal care director Kirsten Vesel says area temperatures that drop into the low 30s might weaken the snake or compel it to seek a warm place.
