New Choose Wisely Booklet Outlines Updated Safe-Eating Guidelines
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), recently announced the online publication of the 2026-2028 Choose Wisely booklet, which outlines consumption guidelines for fish caught from waterbodies across the state.
While fish are a great source of lean protein and healthy omega-3 fats, pollutants from the water they live in and the food they eat may build up in their bodies. Some pollutants can build up to levels that can be harmful to wildlife and humans who eat fish.
The DNR routinely samples fish from popular angling areas and waters with suspected pollution and contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a type of PFAS. Scientists use the levels of contamination found in the fish and the best available evidence for how those contaminants affect human health to determine how much fish is safe to eat over a lifetime.
“The DNR tests for contaminants in fish from a number of waterbodies each year and uses these new results, along with past testing, to update the advice for these waters if needed,” said Sean Strom, DNR environmental toxicologist. “It is important for anglers who frequently eat fish to check for new advisory updates.”
Since the DNR published the prior version of Choose Wisely in 2024, the Great Lakes Consortium for Fish Consumption Advisories updated its recommended fish consumption guidelines for levels of PFOS in fish fillets. The DNR and DHS reviewed these new recommendations and made changes to several existing consumption advisories. Certain locations, such as parts of the Yahara River Chain of Lakes and the Wisconsin and La Crosse rivers, now have more restrictive consumption advisories, including “Do Not Eat” for some species.
The DNR and DHS encourage anglers and those eating fish from Wisconsin’s waters to review the newly updated recommendations in Choose Wisely to ensure they are following current safe-eating guidelines. Anglers can also look for signage with waterbody-specific advisories posted at some access points to help make decisions about which fish to keep in order to minimize consuming unwanted contaminants.
In addition to the updated Choose Wisely booklet, waterbody-specific consumption advice can be found by using the DNR’s online query tool.

For the fourth consecutive year, participation in the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s summer camps broke records set in previous years.
During the summer of 2026, more than 9,200 people honed their skills in athletics, arts, and academics through camps and clinics on the Whitewater and Rock County campuses. This is an increase from the 9041 people who participated in the 2025 camps season.
“We could not host nearly 10,000 people on campus in the summer without months of planning and lots of dedicated staff,” said Lucas Peterson, Director of Continuing Education Services (CES). “We hire more than 600 people to assist camp directors and support campers. And our Camps and Conferences staff is committed to ensuring all campers have fun, safe, high-quality experiences all summer long.”
Eighty internal events and 21 third party events were held from June through August. The series of Coach Stacy Boudreau’s volleyball camps attracted the most participants, with just under 1,200. The largest individual camp was Coach Jace Rindahl’s youth football camp with 360 athletes.
Band camp, led by professor of music Glenn C. Hayes, is the longest standing camp — it has trained young musicians for more than 40 years. New camp offerings included the first ever ceramics camp for young artists, led by professor Jared Janovec, and the inaugural girls wrestling camp with head wrestling coach Matt Zwaschka.
In addition to youth camps, UWW hosted the Special Olympics Wisconsin Summer Games, the intergenerational Grandparent’s University®, and a popular Adult Tennis Camp.
UW-Whitewater prides itself on creating a uniquely satisfying experience for all visitors. Air conditioning was offered to more campers who stayed in residence halls this year to offset hot summer temperatures, and safety remains a top priority for the CES staff.
“We worked hard this year to secure the residence halls down and ensure that staff are with campers at all times throughout the day,” Peterson said. “We continue to work on improving training as we want staff equipped with the ability to handle situations in real time. It’s important that we can effectively respond to issues that come up in the various spaces on campus.”
Registration opens for most 2027 summer camps on Monday, Nov. 16. Visit UW-Whitewater’s camps and conferences website to learn more.

Residents Urged to Remain Vigilant Against Fraudulent Emails
Walworth County officials are alerting residents to a sophisticated wire-transfer zoning scam that has recently resurfaced. The County has received reports of fraudulent emails impersonating Walworth County zoning staff and elected officials. These emails may use the official county logo, appear to be sent from Walworth County Board Supervisors or zoning and planning staff members, and direct recipients to pay invoices via wire transfer to finalize zoning permits.
“These emails were not sent by the Walworth County Land Use and Resource Management office, and we would never send emails requesting wire transfers in exchange for zoning permits,” says Land Use and Resource Management Deputy Director Mandy Bonneville. “Please do not respond to these notices, and exercise caution with any unsolicited email you receive.”
Warning signs that an email may be fraudulent include:
- Suspicious contact information not affiliated with Walworth County. All legitimate emails from Walworth County’s Land Use division end with co.walworth.wi.us.
- Unsolicited emails pressuring residents to pay zoning fees promptly via wire transfer. Walworth County’s Land Use division does not accept payments by wire transfer.
- County Board Supervisors will not contact residents on behalf of the County to finalize permits or collect fees.
- Higher-than-usual permitting fees. Fee schedules are available on the Walworth County website at https://www.co.walworth.wi.us/547/Zoning.
- Requests that all correspondence regarding permits or applications be made exclusively via email. Zoning staff can always be reached by phone at (262) 741-4972.
Anyone who receives a suspicious email or invoice from the Walworth County Zoning Division should avoid making payments and contact the Walworth County Land Use and Resource Management office at (262) 741-4972 for assistance.
In front of a packed Perkins Stadium crowd, the No. 6 UW-Whitewater football team topped No. 2 UW-River Falls 24-16 Saturday. The massive crowd of 20,118 made for an incredible atmosphere in the huge Warhawk win. [Per the UW-W website, the attendance was the third highest on record. The all-time record was the game on October 5, 2024 versus UW-Oshkosh, with attendance of 21, 233.]
As expected, each team was dominant in their go-to styles with the Warhawks winning the run game 190-60 in net rushing yards and 3-0 in rushing touchdowns. The Falcons dominated in the air with a 229-38 sway in passing yards, but just a 1-0 advantage in passing touchdowns. UW-Whitewater’s defense solidified the win with five sacks for a loss of 21 yards and three interceptions for 83 yards in returns.
Drew Kortz (Freedom, Wis./Freedom) and the Warhawk defense set the tone early. The defensive back jumped a passing lane and picked off the Falcon quarterback on their first drive to give UWW the ball with great field position at the RF28. Unfortunately, UW-Whitewater couldn’t turn the takeaway into points, but they would be the first to score, getting on the board on their next drive.
Tommy Novotny (Milwaukee, Wis./Marquette) was tapped for the carry on 3rd-and-17. The shifty backed bounced it outside and up the River Falls sideline, breaking a tackle and outrunning the defense for a 69-yard score. Hunter Liszka (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) hit the point after for a 7-0 lead.
UW-River Falls ended the shutout on a safety after a bad snap sailed into the endzone late in the first quarter.
The Warhawks responded with another huge Novotny run. This time, Novotny took the handoff on the first play of the drive and made a defender miss with a phenomenal cut that had a linebacker diving at air as he bolted up the near sideline for a 65-yard touchdown. Liszka’s extra point made it 14-2 UWW.
The Falcons used a five-play, 75-yard drive to pull within five, 14-9 on their next drive. An interception at the Warhawk five led to a pick-6 and the first, and only, UW-River Falls lead of the game, 16-14. Before the half, UWW would reclaim the lead.
After the UW-Whitewater drive stalled at the River Falls 28, Liszka split the uprights on a career-long 45-yard field goal to give the Warhawks a 17-16 lead. They held the lead the rest of the way.
Following a scoreless third quarter, Novotny gave UWW a cushion with his third rushing TD of the game. This time the freshman scampered in from 11-yards out. Liszka hit the extra point to give UW-Whitewater a 24-16 advantage. The Warhawk defense was up the task the rest of the way.
UWW turned the Falcons over on downs twice in the final quarter, the first at the Warhawk 35 and the second at UWW’s four-yard line. On UWRF’s final drive, the Falcons ran five plays in the redzone and the Warhawks thwarted every scoring chance. UW-Whitewater took over with 19 seconds remaining to kneel out the clock.
Career games from multiple players bolstered the Warhawk win. Novotny posted career marks in rushing attempts (23), rushing yards (192), rushing touchdowns (3) and longest rush (69). Defensively, Jayden Fowler (Morton Grove, Ill./Niles Township West) paced the Warhawks with a career-high 12 tackles. Dom Beres (Bartlett, Ill./St. Francis) also tallied a career-high in the tackles column with 10. Jace Chamberlain (Oak Forest, Ill./St. Laurence) had a phenomenal game with 3.5 tackles for a loss of 17 and two sacks for a loss of 15 – both career bests. Kortz’s pair of interceptions are the most for him in a single game in his career. He added four tackles, a tackle for loss, a pass breakup and 54 interception return yards to his stats on the day.
UW-Whitewater heads back out on the road next week to take on No. 19 UW-La Crosse Saturday at 1 PM.

The regular season has officially come to a close for the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams. The Whippets traveled to Green Lake on Friday night to compete in the Nightfall Classic, one of the most unique meets of the season. The entire event is contested under large light towers, with Christmas lights wrapping around the turns and trees throughout the golf course. It truly is a sight to see!
Girls
Competing in the Division 2 race, Virginia Nelson once again led the way with a steady effort, placing 35th in 22:18. Melody Smith has hovered around the low 23-minute range for the past few weeks, showing impressive consistency regardless of the difficulty of the course. She placed 53rd with a time of 23:18. Ema Aranda raced her way around the course to stop the clock at 24:04 in 70th place. Peyton Comfort was on fire Friday night, breaking her lifetime best with a 24:56 finish. It was her first-ever sub-25-minute 5K, earning her 94th place. Lia Ramirez also had a terrific night, running a lifetime best by a large margin. She placed 156th in 30:15 — just 16 seconds away from breaking the 30-minute barrier! As a team, the girls finished 12th overall.
Boys
Tyler Carollo continues to show his consistency as well. Three of his last four races have been within a handful of seconds of one another, and on Friday he placed 35th in 18:46. Marcus Roe turned in another sub-20-minute effort, placing 66th in 19:48.Marcus Roselle continued to contribute as the team’s third runner, placing 76th in 20:07. Wyatt Esch and Angel Kilar ran together for much of the back half of the race, but Wyatt was able to pull ahead late and placed 104th in 21:06. Being able to run with Wyatt once again helped Angel, who shaved a few more seconds off his lifetime personal best. Angel placed 109th in 21:22. Preston Miller continues to improve in the sixth-runner spot and ran a lifetime best of 21:51 to place 120th. Jameson Rothwell rounded out the varsity seven, placing 130th in 22:40. Carson Miller placed 134th in 23:07, with Hunter Runnoe right behind him in 143rd with a time of 23:31. Ian Agen closed out his night with a season best by a large margin, placing 170th in 27:18. The varsity boys finished 14th overall, while the JV team did not have enough runners to record a team score.
With the regular season now in the books, the Whippets turn their full attention to the Rock Valley Conference Championship, which will be contested on their HOME COURSE at UW-Whitewater on Thursday, October 15.
The championship schedule is:
- Girls Varsity: 4:00 PM
- Boys Varsity: 4:40 PM
- Combined Boys & Girls JV: 5:15 PM
We are excited to bring the RVC Championship to Whitewater and compete in front of our home crowd!
