A barking good time at the Pet Expo

Submitted by admin1 on Mon, 02/13/2017 - 11:17

Dozens of dogs of all breeds and sizes had the run of the store at Nelson True Value in Prairie du Chien Saturday, Feb. 11, as the fifth annual Pet Expo took place. Fun-filled and informative activities brought awareness to and financially benefitted the Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter. A demonstration by dogs enrolled in a local obedience class, and their owners, was a highlight of the morning, along with a visit from Crawford County K-9 Breck and Officer Joe Breeser, and the best pet trick contest. Pictured is one of the winners of the contest, shaking and performing other tricks for the audience. There was also dog olympics, a parade of rescued dogs and an appearance by a team of racing huskies. Tender Care Animal Hospital sponsored nail trims as well. Furthermore, True Value provided door prizes and sales on many of its pet products. A rousing good time was had by a store full of people. (Photo by Correne Martin)

Woman dies in tragic mishap

Submitted by admin1 on Mon, 02/13/2017 - 11:16

A 26-year-old Boscobel woman was killed last Friday afternoon after she apparently jumped from a moving pickup truck on County N south of Avoca.

The mishap occurred at around 12:20 p.m., on Friday, Jan. 27, according to the Iowa County Sheriff’s Department. The Iowa County 911 Dispatch Center received a call from the driver of a motor vehicle that his front seat passenger had exited the vehicle while it was traveling on County N in the town of Clyde.

Wesston Brownlee, 33, of Boscobel, stated he was northbound on County N in a 2012 Ford pickup truck when his wife, Elizabeth Brownlee, 26, Boscobel, opened the door and exited the truck, while it was still moving.

Elizabeth Brownlee was later pronounced dead at Upland Hills Health in Dodgeville as a result of her injuries.
