Golfers had a picture-perfect day to compete in the Division 1 regional at Oakwood on Tuesday and we've just posted a photo gallery from the event.

South Milwaukee - The city water utility is telling residents that its request for a 52% increase in revenues could lead to an increase of 41% to 52% in their bills.
When news of the utility's request, which is being made to the state Public Service Commission, surfaced last week, Water Superintendent Doug Fischer said he did not know how much a resident's bill likely could increase.
A notice on the city's Web site says residents could expect an increase of $8 to $10 per month.
That would amount to an increase of $96 to $120 per year - or 41% to 52% more than the annual water bill for the average homeowner, which Fischer said is $232.
South Milwaukee - The city's water utility is seeking permission from the state to raise its revenue by 52%.
Rates were raised 14% in 2004, 3% in 2008 and 3.8% last year, but those increases weren't enough to keep pace with rising costs and dramatically reduced water usage, Water Superintendent Doug Fischer said Thursday.
Water usage is down roughly 20% since 2004, Fischer said. The faltering economy and conservation measures have led industries to use far less water and households are using less as well, a phenomenon being seen around the country, he said.
Fischer also said that a recent modernization of the water plant's filtration system cost $9 million.
The rate increase would have to be approved by the state Public Service Commission following a public hearing. No hearing has yet been scheduled.
