The newly approved utility won't start billing until the first quarter of 2012.

A Greenfield man, who graduated in May from Viterbo University in La Crosse, is dead after drowning in the family swimming pool. The Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office says that 22-year-old Jeffrey Wielichowiski was having a party with his friends last week when he jumped in the pool. He had energy drinks and vodka and his friends urged him not to swim, because he was stumbling and his speech was slurred. The medical examiner said two friends pulled him from the bottom of the pool. Paramedics tried but failed to save him. |
