Youth faces adult trial for two armed bank and store robberies
Galesville 17 year old Kevin T. Wood is bound over in La Crosse County Court on charges of robbing Skogen's IGA Foodliner in Onalaska on December 4 and Home Savings and Loan in Holmen on December 17 while armed and masked.

Iowa bill would require drinkers to carry a license
Iowa Representative Terry Durland of Elkader proposes a drinker's license for all residents 18 and older. The license would be granted by the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Board only to those with no prior alcohol offenses and could be revoked after three violations.

The measure is slated for introduction in the Iowa House in early March.
