“All ice is never completely safe,” Wachtl said.

If you’re going on the ice, he says wear a floatation device, don’t go alone, and have a way to call for help.

Wachtl reminds people if you’re in a similar situation, don’t get in the water to help, as it’s dangerous.

If you’re going on the ice, he says wear a floatation device, don’t go alone, and have a way to call for help and watch out for natural springs.

“The ice was actually relatively thick in most of the area but the immediate area where the ATV had gone through was relatively thin,” he said.

More instances

At Wind Lake, the Norway Fire Department said three men were rescued after their ATV went through the ice. One of those men was taken to the hospital.

Officials say this is the fifth vehicle to go through the ice this winter, blaming the natural springs.

“It’s nothing you can see from the surface and until something happens – or you put a foot through – you’re not going to know it’s thin when it is six-eight inches everywhere else,” Wachtl said.

At Big Muskego Lake, another person on an ATV fell into open water, but the water was shallow. That person is okay.

The Milwaukee Bucks are eyeing a trade to bolster their roster for the 2025 season, and their sights are set on a few big-name stars. With the season halfway through, rumors have emerged about the team’s interest in Jimmy Butler, Zach LaVine, and Bradley Beal. According to The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie, the Bucks may only manage to land one of these superstars, but LaVine could be the ideal option.
A proposed five-team trade scenario outlined by Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor involves the Milwaukee Bucks making a major move for LaVine. In this deal, the Bucks would acquire Zach LaVine, while the Chicago Bulls would receive Beal and draft capital. The Phoenix Suns would trade Butler to the Bucks, the Miami Heat would land Khris Middleton, Pat Connaughton, and draft capital, and the Detroit Pistons would receive Bobby Portis.

One of the main hurdles in making this trade happen is the Milwaukee Bucks’ position with the NBA’s tax apron. Since they’ve exceeded the second tax apron, they cannot aggregate players in a trade unless it keeps them below the tax threshold. This situation makes players like Connaughton and Portis valuable trade assets. While Connaughton could be moved to a team like the Pistons to absorb his contract, Portis is more likely to go, given his role in the Bucks’ rotation.
The real appeal of Zach LaVine, however, lies in his youth and current form. Unlike Butler and Beal, LaVine offers the Milwaukee Bucks a star with more prime years ahead of him. This season, LaVine has been playing at a high level, averaging 24 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. He is also shooting career-highs across the board, with 51.3% from the field and 45.1% from three-point range.
In contrast to Butler and Beal, who are both older, Zach LaVine’s upside is clear, and he has been more effective this season. If the Bucks are serious about making a playoff run, LaVine could be the key piece to push them forward.

While no trade is without its complications, this proposal shows that if Milwaukee is looking to make a bold move, LaVine might be their best bet for both immediate and long-term success.
