Branch-Clogged Lake Slows Icy Search For Hunters' Bodies
Milwaukee area skin divers from the Mid west Amphibians face a slow, cold start at Lake Onalaska as they begin a planned 100 foot sweep searching for the bodies of Glenn Gongorek and James Stearns drowned October 30.

They intend to resume Sunday, hoping luck and God’s grace help locate the two young hunters.
