The Police Department, Fire Department, Stout Police, and the Department of Natural Resources responded to the call. The boat operator was pulled to short and CPR was administered. The Fire Department transported him to the Mayo Hospital in Menomonie. He was then airlifted to Luther Hospital in Menomonie for further treatment.

Lots of irons in the fire. I've just signed a contract to run press releases from around the world on the site - this will bring in a small amount of money on an ongoing basis and may eventually blossom into a Wisconsin local news syndication network Exciting.
Also am having some discussions with the Listening Post Collective on putting in some really interesting community building tech.
Lastly still a little more progress on the obituaries front.
