Matthew DeFour, a long-time reporter and editor for the Wisconsin State Journal in Madison, will lead Wisconsin Watch's new three-member statehouse bureau as an editor and reporter, the nonprofit newsroom has announced.

DeFour, 40, previously covered the state Legislature, governor’s office and state agencies for the State Journal. For the past four years, he has directed the newspaper’s statehouse coverage. He'll join Wisconsin Watch on Sept. 6.

The artwork of longtime newspaper publisher Walter Gander is on display in a special exhibit by the Walter E. Olson Memorial Library in Eagle River.

Gander, a longtime printer who once owned the Vilas County News-Review, immigrated to the U.S. with his parents in 1898, and came to Eagle River in 1903. He took up painting later in life, creating landscape works of the Northwoods and scenes inspired by his childhood on the coast of England. The library exhibit, which runs through July 30, features samplings of Gander's work that have been reassembled through the generosity of family and friends.
