Will La Crosse ever get its Bliss back? The way it's looking right now....no it won't. The city's public works department is looking for about 15 thousand dollars to get some design help for a fix for the latest washout on the troubled road that leads to the top for Grandad Bluff in the city. A city council committee has narrowly turned down the request. Which means that a repair of Bliss has an indefinite future. The road will remain closed at least until Spring. Without a plan for repair, it could remain closed permanently.

Donation Box StolenTuesday, 28 September 2010 06:35 | | |
Time is running out for good people to make up for the actions of bad people. Someone stole the donation box that was located near the Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall that has been on display in Riverside Park. Now patriotic people are being encouraged to drop off their donations this morning. The Moving Wall is scheduled to be dismantled in La Crosse this morning. Donations are being accepted until 9am. No word on how much the thieves got away with, and so far there have been no arrests.
Federal Border Agent Arrested During FestMonday, 27 September 2010 11:53 | | |
A federal border agent is among those in big trouble after this week-end's festing in La Crosse. Police say 30 year-old David Sackmaster beat up a bar employee in an alley off of fourth street. The 59 year-old victim was apparently taking out the garbage around bar time on Saturday, surprised Sackmaster taking a leak in the alley and then got pummeled by the younger man. Cops say Sackmaster was bragging about the beating later. The victim suffered skull fractures and his brain was bleeding but doctors say none of the injuries appear to be life threatening. Sackmaster claims he was simply defending himself.

Synthetic Pot Rule Trips Up First UserMonday, 27 September 2010 11:54 | | |
La Crosse police have made an arrest under the city's new fake pot ordinance. The city council last month passed a rule that outlaws synthetic marijuana that's typically marketed as incense but can apparently create a high much more intense than the real stuff. Police picked up a 25 year-old guy early Sunday morning on a probation violation for drinking. Then found some Happy Shaman Herbal Spice on him. La Crosse is the first city in Wisconsin to outlaw synthetic pot. Some state lawmakers say they may pursue a statewide ban in the next session.
No Good Drinking Goes UnpunishedMonday, 27 September 2010 11:38 | | |
You'd expect there to be more than a few public intoxication warnings during the Oktoberfest week-end in La Crosse. And there was, including the one that went to the woman who had no idea where she was, where she was staying, what month it is or who the president is. Her PBT: .28. Police are also still counting up the underage drinking tickets. Nearly forty so far. And, despite the typical Oktoberfest style of enforcement, there were still plenty of public consumption tickets and several for people who just couldn't quite locate a restroom.
