The first court hearing for Adam Greden has been postponed from tomorrow until October 26th. The Winona County attorney's office hopes to try Greden in adult court for the April traffic deaths of three teenage girls. They were in a pickup that rolled over, allegedly while racing with Greden on roads near Altura, Minnesota. A 12-year-old girl riding in the pickup had broken legs after the crash.
Justice Center Back on TableMonday, 18 October 2010 11:13 | | |
The Monroe County Building Committee Friday recommended constructing a proposed justice center in downtown Sparta in one phase as opposed to a phased project.
The majority of the committee believed it would be more expensive to build the project in two phases, beginning with a 180-cell jail, and followed later by an addition for courtrooms and a remodeling of the courthouse. The estimated the cost of a total build project is at $29 million, including land acquisition. Jay Johnson Gets His Powerball MillionFriday, 15 October 2010 12:03 | | |
After about two months of waiting, and planning, an area Powerball player officially gets his jackpot.
Jay Johnson of Holmen was awarded a million-dollar lottery check today at the Festival Foods store where he bought the lucky ticket in August. Persistence has paid off for Johnson, a frequent lottery player. He's among the minority of winners who choose their own numbers, instead of taking a Quick Pick. Jay says he didn't even tell his wife about the winning combination for the first couple of days, so he could figure out what to do. Johnson used the Power Play option to multiply what would normally be a 200-thousand dollar prize to an even million, or under 700-thousand dollars after taxes.

Winona State Campus ShootingMonday, 18 October 2010 11:10 | | |
Winona Police continue their search for a man who shot two women near the WSU campus late Saturday night. Witnesses say a college-aged, possibly light-skinned black man, shot the two after an altercation and fled the scene.
Officers interviewed a "person of interest" in the shooting, but no arrests have been made. The names of the victims, two 19-year-old women, was not released, however, because the women fear for their lives. One woman was shot in the leg, while the other had a graze-type wound on her abdomen. What exactly led to the shooting is still unclear. Something Creepy This Way ComesThursday, 14 October 2010 10:26 | | |
Bedbugs don't make the best bedfellows. Turns out, you can ask an increasing number of people about that. Infestations are increasing across the US. At DeBoer Pest Control in Onalaska, Jim DeBoer has seen plenty of them. Bedbugs, he says, multiply rapidly, are hard to kill, and tend to hitch rides on luggage and cast-off furniture. He says you never want to pick up a free mattress on the street and some cities have enacted ordinances mandating old mattresses get cut up so you can't get an old one curbside. Bedbug numbers that DeBoer is seeing now? Tip of the iceberg, he says. It's only going to get worse.
