1. Sheboygan Murder Suspect Returns to Court for First Time In Two Months (seehafernews.com) — A suspect in a January Sheboygan homicide is due back in court this afternoon for a status conference on multiple serious felony charges. Another man charged in connection with the same fatal shooting is scheduled for an August pretrial hearing and four-day trial, with both remaining jailed on high cash bonds.
   

2. City of Sheboygan Absentee Voting for August Primary Announced (whbl.com) — Sheboygan residents in nursing and assisted living facilities will have on-site absentee voting for the August 11 primary, with special voting deputies helping eligible voters cast ballots.

3. Midwest Challenge powerboat races canceled in Sheboygan (sheboyganpress.com) — Sheboygan’s popular Midwest Challenge powerboat races, which drew tens of thousands of visitors and millions in spending, have been canceled for August after organizers said they lack the staffing and operational support to run them safely. City officials, calling the decision disappointing for residents and businesses, still hope to host block party-style festivities at City Green and King Park that weekend.
   

4. Throwback: Sheboygan's record 108-degree heat wave (sheboyganpress.com) — Sheboygan once sizzled at a record 108 degrees in 1995, closing factories early, sending several residents to local hospitals, and pushing crowds toward Lake Michigan and Jaycees Quarryview Park for relief. This throwback revisits that brutal heat wave, earlier 107-degree scorchers in 1934 and 1948, and the practical tips locals used to stay safe when “cooler near the lake” didn’t apply.
