FDL SHOOTING SUSPECT BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL
One of the two Fond du Lac teens suspected of a gang related shooting has been bound over for trial. During a preliminary hearing last Thursday Fond du Lac County Judge Anthony Nehls found probable cause that 17-year-old Adamite Willey may have committed the crimes he’s accused of. He and 19-year-old Lamarion Moore are both charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide as a party to a crime with a dangerous weapon. Charges stem from a shooting at a Fond du Lac gas station on May 23rd. No one was injured in the shooting, but bullets struck the car a person was sitting in seven times. According to the criminal complaint the shooting was in retaliation for a deadly shooting at the Maplewood Commons Apartments on May 7th which left one person dead and several wounded. Parise Larry Jr. and Antonio Johnson have been charged with that shooting death. The two shootings were connected to a beef between two gangs. Willey and Moore are both being held in the Fond du Lac County Jail on $1 million cash bonds. (Fond du Lac County Jail photo).
RIPON TID EXTENSION
Ripon’s Common Council last week extended the life of TID District 5 by a year to help pay for the city’s housing programs. City Administrator Adam Sonntag says they are allowed to do that if the money is used for housing programs and approving the extension should allow the city to invest $180,000 into housing quality and affordability programs. He says the city has two such programs the Sandmar Lot Program and a Home Exterior Repair Program. He says the Sandmar program allows people to buy lots for $5,000 to build a new home. There are currently six new homes being built in Sandmar. He anticipates it won’t take long for TID #5 to recoup that $180,000 that is being invested in the building of new homes and improvements to existing homes.
AGING POLITICIANS
With U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell’s latest health scare where he froze up a second time while addressing a group, questions have surfaced about whether there should be term or age limits for federal lawmakers. Congressman Glenn Grothman says he’s not sure what McConnell’s medical issue is but anyone can suffer a stroke at any age. Grothman says he doesn’t believe term or age limits would accomplish anything. Meanwhile surveys show a majority of those polled have concerns about voting for either Donald Trump or Joe Biden if they win their parties nominations for President. Grothman says at age 77 Trump is still energetic, while President Biden at 80-years-old is showing signs of slipping. Grothman believes ultimately American voters will decide whether or not to support a candidate because of their advanced age.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAFFIC IN GREEN LAKE COUNTY
Green Lake County sees its share of different kinds of traffic on its roads throughout the year. Chief Deputy Sheriff Matt Vande Kolk says with students returning for school we have to be mindful of school buses and kids walking to and from school. There is also an increase in farm traffic with harvesting. He says there will be more tractors and wagons coming off the fields with corn and soybeans being harvested. In the Southwestern portion of Green Lake County there is also horse and buggy traffic from the Amish population. Vande Kolk says people from the area are used to that type of traffic, but visitors coming to the county for the Amish greenhouses and wares aren’t. Vande Kolk says they’ve had a pretty good relationship with the Amish community for the past 15 to 20 years.
