Another hot item from Sheboygan!
Sheboygan woman, 79, kills snake with ice chopper

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — A 79-year-old Sheboygan woman who couldn't find any help when a rattlesnake showed up on her patio said it was no big deal taking matters into her own hands. Margaret Street said she used an ice chopper to kill the snake with three cuts behind the head.
She made some calls hoping to find someone who could help her. She said when that failed she killed the snake because she was afraid it could hurt someone at a nearby elementary school.
Dale Katsma, with the state Department of Natural Resources, said the massasauga rattlesnake is endangered in Wisconsin, but photos suggest this was a prairie rattlesnake, which isn't endangered or native to the area.
He told The Sheboygan Press the snake may have been aboard a train bringing materials to a local salvage yard.

Wis. teen accused of breaking into home for snacks
Wis. teen accused of breaking into home for snacks

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-wi-snacksearch-charg,0,584286.story
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - A Sheboygan teen has been charged with breaking into a neighbor's house to look for snack food.
Ronald M. Savela Jr. is 17 but is charged as an adult with felony attempted burglary. The Sheboygan Press says the charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 4 years.
Prosecutors say Savela broke into the same house last year through the same basement window, leading the owner to suspect him when the window was found broken again last week.
The criminal complaint quotes the teen as saying he smashed the window with a rock and removed the screen. He says he was looking for snack food but didn't find any.
His preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 2.
Online court records didn't list a defense attorney for Savela.

Mayor Bob Ryans wife's sister supposedly "Gives a good Hummer"

Story, YouTube video: Sheboygan Mayor Bob Ryan accused of sexual harassment
By Kate McGinty • Gannett Wisconsin Media • September 24, 2009
SHEBOYGAN — City leaders are crossing their fingers that the uproar dies down quickly over an Internet video that shows a drunken Mayor Bob Ryan making sexually explicit comments about his sister-in-law.

More than 6,500 people have already watched the YouTube video — posted on Tuesday evening by a user named “MrMeyerjoe” — of Ryan talking in a bar about his sister-in-law’s looks and sexual abilities.

The video was the topic of talk radio programs across the state, and media from across eastern Wisconsin showed up Thursday for a news conference Ryan gave to apologize to the community.
Ryan also is facing a sexual harassment complaint from the city’s former human resources director, whom he fired in August.
“Over the past 48 hours, multiple events have put my reputation and my personal lifestyle in question,” Ryan said. “This situation has made it quite obvious to me that it is time to choose between my personal lifestyle and the job of running this city, and I choose the job.”
He said he plans to hire a medical professional “to guide me through my personal life to make sure that I’m heading in the right direction,” but he refused to say if that will be specifically related to alcohol use.
Asked if he has a drinking problem, Ryan said, “No, I do not.”
The few city and county leaders who would speak publicly on Thursday voiced support of Ryan, praising his work during five months as mayor. They hope, albeit with some uncertainty, that public attention will return to his political agenda.
Ald. Bill Wangemann, also a city historian who has been a public employee since 1963, called the video “character assassination.”
“I don’t give it much credibility. … We don’t know who took it, or where it was taken, or when it was taken,” Wangemann said.
That kind of video can be very damaging for a politician, though, said Bruce Browne, an English and communication arts professor at the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan and adviser to the student newspaper.
“I think the truth of the matter is that this can carry a political sledgehammer, simply because this kind of media can easily go viral,” he said.
“If it’s on YouTube today, it may well be on Jon Stewart tomorrow, and it may well be all over the blogosphere after that. The speed with which these things go is so much accelerated that this can get out of hand.”
Ryan said the two-minute video was shot in July without his knowledge. Wisconsin statues require that only one person in a conversation know that exchange is being recorded.
He said he learned of the video Wednesday but has not seen it. In an interview on WHBL-AM radio, he said there are “probably” additional videos out there and urged anyone who has them to release them now and “get it over with.”

SHEBOYGAN - Sheboygan police busted a marijuana grow operation after being called to an apartment to stop an alleged axe attack.
Police arrested two brothers, ages 38 and 41, as well as the 36-year-old girlfriend of the younger brother, after the incident on the 1600 block of St. Clair Ave. around 6 p.m. Sunday. The girlfriend ran to the police station to tell officers the 41-year-old had struck her boyfriend several times with the axe, which was in a sheath. When police arrived, they surrounded the apartment and called the 38-year-old out. He had a small cut on his leg with some dried blood on it. He denied that anyone else was in the apartment, but the older brother eventually came out.
Police then went into the apartment and found marijuana plants growing throughout. With a search warrant, police took 20 marijuana plants, several large bags of marijuana, a rifle, two shotguns, a pistol and four axes.

Meat Wreck

Semi truck collision leaves 40,000 pounds of meat scattered on roadway
By Linda Spice of the Journal Sentinel
Posted: Mar. 13, 2009 6:56 a.m.
A two-semi crash in Sheboygan County early Friday left both drivers injured and a mess of 40,000 pounds of meat products scattered across the roadway, sheriff's officials reported this morning.
Emergency crews transported both drivers to St. Nicholas Hospital with non-life threatening injuries after the crash, which was reported at 12:57 a.m. near I-43 southbound and County Highway AA in the Town of Holland.
The interstate was closed for several hours but re-opened just before 6:30 a.m.
Dewitt Road, where much of the boxes of meat spilled, will remain closed for an undetermined amount of time during cleanup, according to Sheboygan County sheriff's Lt. Chad Broeren.
Sheriff's deputies investigating the crash learned that that two semi tractor-trailers were both southbound on I-43 when the second semi hit the rear end of the lead semi.
After being struck, the first semi continued southbound and eventually pulled off of the roadway.
The second semi traveled after the initial collision into a guard rail, then a bridge face before rolling several times down the embankment. It came to rest under I-43 on Dewitt Road after spilling its entire load of meat products onto the roadway.
Sheriff's officials report that the semi and trailer sustained severe damage with the passenger compartment and motor separating from the chassis as it rolled.

Meat Products are strewn around near Dewitt Road and I-43 in Sheboygan County Friday after two trucks collided closing the southbound freeway for a while overnight. The freeway is now open but the cleanup is still going on as fire personnel and others clean up the meat.
