People could be driving on Bliss Road today...if the city of La Crosse would allow it.
Shelby town chair Lynnetta Kopp told town residents last night that one lane of traffic on the closed road up Grandad Bluff can handle traffic. So she has proposed putting a temporary traffic signal, paid for by Shelby, on Bliss Road so it can reopen.
So far, no answer from Mayor Matt Harter or other city leaders. Some of the Shelby residents at a town meeting last night accused La Crosse of 'blackmail' and trying to pick their pockets to pay for a road entirely within city limits. Jury Chosen For La Crosse Priest Abuse TrialMonday, 25 October 2010 11:26 | | |
It didn't take long to choose a jury in a sexual assault case involving a priest serving in the La Crosse Diocese... Jury selection for the trial of Father Edmund Donkor-Baine lasted less than two hours. Those jurors will begin hearing testimony tomorrow, on charges that Donkor-Baine had sexual contact with a woman he was counseling in a divorce. The woman says she complained to police after church officials took no action against the priest, who's visiting from Ghana. She claims the incident happened in a parked car more than a year ago. |
