Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Fort Atkinson (#503)
[Latest Airdate: October 4, 2018]
[Original Airdate: January 21, 2016]
We wish you could have seen John's face when he experienced Fort Atkinson for the first time. When we walked into Nasco's demo room where health care professionals were practicing life-saving skills on realistic looking body parts, his chin hit the floor. When he saw the fence around the rock that marks the spot of Atkinson's original fort, his eyebrows furrowed with puzzlement. When we told him to get in the canoe, his eyes widened with joy. (John Gurda's widened with fear!) When he slid down the slide at Busy Barns Adventure Farm, his smile was ear to ear. But when they put a goat in his lap, well, let's just say that his expression changed to one of panic! When he heard Bill sing at Café Carpe, his eyes closed in serenity. And when he tasted the sweet potato soufflé at The Fireside Dinner Theatre, his mouth watered with sheer joy.
Fort Atkinson made John even more expressive than usual --- and that's not easy to do!

Nadig Court fire
Fort Atkinson police and a state fire marshal are investigating the suspicious nature of a fire that took place at a southside duplex early Monday morning. Half of the duplex, located at 516 and 514 Nadig Court in Fort Atkinson, sustained heavy fire and smoke damage as a result of the blaze at 4:51 a.m. Monday, Sept. 3. State Department of Justice Special Agent Division of Criminal Investigation James Sielehr of the Wisconsin State Fire Marshal's Office responded to the scene to investigate the nature of the fire. None of the investigators officially labeled the fire as being an arson; however, all seemed to agree it was suspicious. Residents of the adjacent side of the duplex, at 514 Nadig Court, had been evacuated and 516 Nadig Court currently is vacant. Watch for updates related to the cause of the blaze at dailyunion.com.

The puddle of doom!
One day in the town of fort atkinson, there had been numerous sightings of the so called Puddle of doom This was thought to lead into a dark abyss into the underworld. It was said in the local newspapers to stay away from this dark flow. Not following what the newspaper said, two boys set off on a journey to find the dark flow. One of the boys pulled out his phone as the other boy decided to ride through on his bicycle. The boys were never found after this incident. All the evidence that was found was the phone. The police decided to take the video and put it open to the public eyes in memorial of these two boys. R.I.P Nathan 1999 - 2009 Brett 1997 - 2009.
