A WARROAD MAN CHARGED WITH MULTIPLE COUNTS OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY POSSESSION HAD AN INITIAL COURT APPEARANCE EARLIER THIS WEEK. 64-YEAR OLD MARK EDWARD GENEREUX HAS NOT BEEN ARRESTED AND CAN REMAIN OUT ON BOND THAT WOULD COST $15,000 CASH OR $50,000 SURETY. IT DATES BACK TO 2020, WHEN THREE YAHOO EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE LINKED WITH THE “TRANSMISSION OF CHILD PORNOGRPAHY”. HE’S CHARGED WITH SIX FELONY COUNTS, EACH CARRYING A MAXIMUM PENALTY OF FIVE YEARS IN PRISON. THE NEXT HEARING IS SET FOR APRIL 10.
AN EXPERT ON MINNESOTA LAKES SAYS YOU SHOULD EXPECT A LATE ICE-OUT THIS YEAR. JOHN DOWNING IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA’S SEA GRANT PROGRAM. HE HAS BEGUN TRACKING WHAT ARE CALLED THAWING DAYS BEGINNING IN JANUARY. THE MORE THAWING DAYS, THE QUICKER THE ICE IS MELTING. TO DETERMINE A THAWING DAY, HE USES SOMEWHAT OF A COMPLICATED FORMULA. ADD THE DAILY HIGH TO THE DAILY LOW, DIVIDE BY TWO, AND THEN SUBTRACT 32. IF YOU STILL END UP WITH A POSITIVE NUMBER, THAT WAS A GOOD DAY FOR MELTING ICE. SO FAR, THERE HAVE BEEN FEWER OF THOSE THAN NORMAL.
A CURB SIDE MEAL, BENEFITING CHS HARVEST FOR HUNGER, WILL BE SERVED TODAY FROM 4-7 FROM THE CHS ELEVATOR LOCATION IN BADGER. IT’S A FREEWILL DONATION WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO ROSEAU AREA FOOD SHELVES.

A SIX YEAR OLD BOY DIED IN AITKIN COUNTY THIS PAST WEEKEND AFTER FALLING THROUGH ICE. HE WAS IDENTIFIED AS OWEN BENJAMIN.
