A Racine father James C. Huber 32 and his son Paul 5 were injured in a crash that sent their car down an embankment through a creek and into a bridge abutment after attempting to pass a truck driven by Dean Bushnell on Highway 81 near the Lafayette County line. The family’s other son Mark 4 was uninjured. Huber and Paul remained in St. Clare hospital in good condition.

Lucey Defies Party Leaders Sticks to Policy
Democratic state chairman Patrick Lucey defied party leaders by refusing neutrality and stating he will not be neutral about candidates. The state administrative committee narrowly defeated a motion to compel impartiality.
