 Officer identified in fatal shooting, investigation underway after a train derailment near Usberg, and Schwoigen Common Council elects District 2 other person. These and other local stories are coming up on this edition of Community News Review. I'm Scott Maliff, in for Maddie Pfister, and this is Community News Review for Tuesday, July 7, 2020. Schwoigen police named the officer who shot and killed an armed man last week. Police say officer Brian Prey, who has been with the department for two and a half years, shot and killed Kevin Ruffin Jr. when Ruffin refused to drop two knives. Investigators say Prey tried less than lethal options first. When those failed, he shot Ruffin. Prey is on administrative leave per department policy. The State's Department of Justice is reviewing the shooting. A Schwoigen man is in jail and a woman is in the hospital after a drunk driving crash Monday night. Schwoigen police responded to 25th and North Avenue around 830 for a car that had slammed into a tree. The driver, a 50-year-old Schwoigen man, was arrested on a felony OWI charge and for possessing a firearm while under the influence. His 47-year-old female passenger was hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Todd Wolf resigned that seat when he was a finalist for the City Administrator position, a role he officially begins today. Felicky Paneski and Travis Gross were the two candidates nominated for the vacant aldermanic seat. In addition to submitting a letter of interest and resume to the City Clerk, both candidates were given five minutes to present their case before the council in last night's meeting. Felicky Paneski emphasized her work as a member and chair of the Redevelopment Authority, serving at the appointment of five different mayors. Immediately after the election, she was sworn in by City Clerk Meredith De Bruyne. Then Mayor Vandersen invited her to take a seat on the council dais and participate in the balance of the agenda. Officials have no idea when all the coal from a train derailment Sunday afternoon will be cleaned up. Sheboygan County Dispatch got the 911 call about the crash shortly after 2pm. Responders found 13 full coal cars had jumped the tracks at the Black River just east of Highway A in the Usberg area. The accident blocked a number of east-west roads. The train sat for several hours before the unaffected cars were pulled from the scene. Crews began cleanup Sunday afternoon, but there is no timeline on when that will be complete. Investigators say it could take months to find an official cause for the derailment. Select results of a second round of COVID-19 testing conducted at Pine Haven Christian Communities have come back positive for several staff members, but no residents according to a spokesperson for the senior living facilities. The infected staff were located at the Gittings Avenue Campus in Sheboygan Falls. The other two campuses on Haven Drive in Sheboygan Falls and Pine Drive in Usberg had no positive returns. The affected staff are now in home quarantine. Results and testing are ongoing with both residents and staff constantly monitored for any signs of COVID-19 and according to the spokesperson extensive measures are in place to reduce any potential spread. All residents and their families will be contacted as soon as any new information becomes available. Sheboygan Shoreline Metro Bus System entered Phase 4 of Operations Monday as adjustments are made in the response to the changing COVID-19 pandemic. Fairs are back in place.

The Gus Macker 3-on-3 basketball tournament, the major annual fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sheboygan County has fallen victim to COVID-19. The event typically held each August at DeLand Park draws teams from across the nation but the Boys and Girls Club CEO Christina Sy says not this year making the decision for the safety of players and the community at large. The cancellation means the loss of tens of thousands of dollars for the Boys and Girls Club. Over $50,000 was generated last year for programming that serves area youth over the summer and Sy says now hoping that individuals and businesses will step up and help fill the gap saying that programs on learning, loss prevention, well-being and positive adult connections are more important now than ever. Donations to the Boys and Girls Club in support of summer programming can be made at thepositiveplace.com or by mail to 107 Cedar Street, Sheboygan Falls 53085.
