Seiler disappeared from her apartment at the Regent Street Apartments, 1402 Regent St., March 27, and was found March 31. Police suspect she may have lied about her abduction.  

 

 

 

Dane County District Attorney Brian Blanchard is expected to make a statement on the case by the end of this week. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The smiley-faced logo that has come to symbolize Milwaukee summers now has a director with a name to match, as Summerfest directors have hired Donald Smiley as the Big Gig's CEO, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 

 

 

 

Smiley, 49, was hired following a six-month nationwide search for a replacement for Bo Black, who was Summerfest's executive director for the past 19 years. Black built the annual 10-day festival into a $25 million operation that draws roughly one million people annually to the shores of Lake Michigan. 

 

 

 

Smiley grew up in Racine and graduated from UW-Oshkosh in 1978. As president of Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins in 1997, Smiley helped bring a World Series Championship to South Florida. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., continues to carry the support of state residents. He garnered an approval rating of 51 percent in a Badger Poll changing little since the poll was conducted in January. 

 

 

 

The polls showed that voters fail to recognize Feingold's three major Republican candidates. Eighty percent felt they didn't know enough to have a favorable opinion of state Sen. Bob Welch, R-Town of Merton and Russ Darrow, while 92 percent said they did not know enough about Tim Michels. 

 

 

 

Nonetheless, Feingold opponents remained positive at the news that 34 percent said they did not know enough about Feingold to rate him favorably or unfavorably.
