Not to diminish the serious event this morning, but photo number 1 by Lindsay Quinn has to be one of the most inpressive "on scene" grab shots I have seen in a long time. I hope it is submitted for some sort of award.
Very tragic for the town of spooner and it's many unemployed dependent hopefuls that spooner would let more industry in..This now is even more reason why the town daddy's will put a kabosh on companies wishing to migrate here keeping the already nearly deserted town more deserted as our up coming graduates have to move elsewhere to survive.
omg we have never seen any thing like this here where we live and I hope that we never do again I feel for the people that live and work over in that part of town my heart goes out to you all and god bless
