Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Waukesha police blotter: Sept. 29, 2026 (gmtoday.com) — Police calls from Sept. 29 in Waukesha included a rollover crash at Springdale and Bluemound, a boxed‑in suspected drunk driver on Golf Road, and a curbside drinker on Pewaukee Road. Officers also handled a family dispute over a damaged car and an Uber passenger refusing to exit while seeking alcohol.
2. Foam, fundraising and fun: Hillcrest Elementary School raises $16K through fundraising event (gmtoday.com) — Hillcrest Elementary in Waukesha just surpassed its fundraising goal, bringing in $16,000 to add outdoor storage, new soccer goals, and future playground upgrades for local students. Families gave online, then celebrated with an "Ultimate Field Day" featuring extra recess, foam play, firefighter visits, and a dunk tank, with staff and PTO leaders praising the strong Hillcrest community support.
3. Flock cameras assist Waukesha County investigators in solving multiple criminal cases (racinesun.com) — Waukesha County investigators say automated Flock license plate cameras have become crucial in solving serious crimes, from robberies and stabbings to an I‑94 road rage shooting. Recent cases in Pewaukee, Sussex, Lisbon and Brookfield were cracked after traditional surveillance missed license plates, with the system helping track stolen vehicles, recover a firearm, and even locate a missing person far from home.
4. 2026 CCIW Women's Golf Championship: Titans Lead After Round One (cciw.org) — Carroll University of Waukesha sits sixth after the opening round of the CCIW Women's Golf Championship in rainy Metamora, Illinois, carding a 333 team score.
