A fire at a recycling facility in the Town of Norway re-ignited Sunday night, filling the sky with smoke.  Nearly three dozen fire crews had responded to the first report, coming from as far away at Dane County.  No injuries were reported.  A one-mile stretch of U-S Highway 45 was closed to traffic.  Firefighters say strong winds, a lack of hydrants and the flammable materials at John’s Disposal complicated the job.  The fire was first reported at about 1:00 P-M.  At one point, workers jumped into a burning truck and drove it away from a building filled with cardboard.

Fond du Lac County authorities say a 31-year-old man was high on heroin when he led them on a drug-fueled chase during the Memorial Day weekend.  Andrew Qualls was sentenced to three years in prison during a courtroom appearance last week.  Qualls was convicted of recklessly endangering safety and operating while intoxicated, fifth offense.  He forced an off-duty Fond du Lac County captain off the road May 28th when he crossed the center line of a county highway.  Deputies were able to stop him after he had blown through at least one stop sign in heavy holiday traffic.

Perhaps they need to call in the Pied Piper.  Brown County officials have distributed 15-hundred rat traps to residents to help them deal with a growing problem.  People had to show proof of residency last weekend and then they could receive up to three traps.  The county is asking those who received the rat traps to e-mail the county every time a rat is killed.  A tally will be kept so the extent of the problem can be measured and the need for another rat trap give-away can be evaluated.
