On 7-1-09 at approximately 12:25am Tammy Althaus thought she saw someone outside her residence in the driveway at 3525 CTH A - Lancaster, WI.
Tammy yelled outside and observed a vehicle drive away from the end of the driveway, so she followed it to get vehicle
information and called 911. Officers arrived in the area to locate the involved vehicle.
Deputy Schwarz made contact with a suspicious vehicle with 3 subjects, one being Cody S. Soderstrom. After investigating the property at 3525 CTH A there was damage found to a semi tractor owned by Tammy Althaus. The semi tractor had two broken headlights and a cut tire.
Evidence on scene led to the arrest of Cody Soderstrom for CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY and OBSTRUCTING AN OFFICER. Soderstrom was taken to the Grant County Jail for booking on those charges and was later released on $500.00 bond. This matter remains under investigation.
Grant County Deputies also arrested a Douglas Nihles for OWI, second offense. Mr. Nihles was driving a vehicle that came from the residence.

Governor Doyle comments on
GM decision
|
|
|
|
Madison, WI - June 26, 2009 - “I am deeply disappointed by GM’s decision not to reopen the Janesville plant. Because GM in recent bankruptcy proceedings announced closing seven plants in Michigan and the Orion plant was in current operation, we knew it would be an uphill battle. With the help of the City of Janesville and Rock County, the State of Wisconsin offered a very strong package.
“I do not believe that Michigan matched us. I certainly hope that we were not used to simply leverage more resources for Michigan. This has been a very difficult year for Janesville since GM first announced the plant closing last June. We will continue to work hard with the great GM employees to help them land on their feet.”

Livingston, WI - June 25, 2009 - The Grant County District Attorney’s Office has filed a criminal complaint in Grant County Court charging Elizabeth Roen, 19 of Hwy. 80, Livingston, with two counts of physical abuse of a child, stemming from an incident that occurred on April 26, 2009, at her residence located in the Village of Livingston.
On that date, the child, a 2 year old female juvenile, suffered severe burns to her feet, as well as other minor injuries. The child was not taken to a hospital to seek medical attention until the next day, when she was initially taken to the Emergency Room at Upland Hills Medical Center in Dodgeville, WI.
Due to the extent of her injuries, the child was transferred to UW Hospital’s Burn Unit, in Madison, WI that same day.
Roen has been charged, and is awaiting her initial court appearance, scheduled for July 13, 2009 at 10 a.m., and the child remains in the custody of Grant County Social Services.
Arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to bring charges against an individual with the understanding that every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

In a Midwest News exclusive interview, Chief King discusses the status of the Shannon Fischer case.
By Dave Collins
Prairie du Chien, WI – June 18, 2009 – It has been 2 1/2 years since Shannon Fischer, a 23 year old local woman, disappeared late one December afternoon, just a few days before Christmas, last seen walking down Blackhawk Avenue in Prairie du Chien. (Background)
Her mother, Diane Bouzek and step-father Tom, waited for Shannon's phone call, she always came over at Christmas, but the phone remained ominously silent. A few days later, with a sinking feeling in their stomachs, they contacted the authorities to file a missing person's report.
Two and a half years is a long time, but Shannon's face stares back from posters in shop windows, restaurants and civic centers, a silent call as if to say, “I'm still missing – don't forget about me.” No chance of that, the fate of this missing woman haunts the collective consciousness of this community. Is there a killer among us or was this a stranger passing through?
Midwest News intervened Mike King chief of police of the Prairie du Chien Police Department and Sgt. Chad Abram one of two detectives working on the Shannon Fischer case. Detective Terry Sprosty was on the phone to the Wisconsin DCI regarding this case as the interview took place.
Every attempt to glean a scrap of new information, or determine what direction the case was taking, was unsuccessful. My impression, and it may be too Zen like, was that the interview in its totality left me feeling that the police were more hopeful, than they were a year and a half ago, that the case will someday be solved. It seems clear that they are working on something. Watch the interview and see if you get the same feeling. Video of Interview

The people of rural Wisconsin need help to get broadband services available to 80% of the state. There is a survey the federal government has made available to see the percentage of people wanting broadband services made available in the area they live. Wisconsin might lose out on millions of dollars, if it isn't made clear how much people would like access to broadband services. Please forward to anyone you know who doesn't have broadband and help WI claim money to improve our states infrastructure.
