A woman who came to visit an inmate at the Page County Jail Saturday afternoon nearly became an inmate herself, after it was determined she was under the influence of alcohol. Sheriff’s officials arrested 37-year old Lee Ann Gulbrandson, of Braddyville on a charge of Public Intoxication, after she came to the north door of the jail at around 1:15-p.m., smelling of alcohol.
Gulbrandson, who is also known as Lee Ann Bencker, was released from custody after posting a $300 bond.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office reports two people have been arrested in connection with a burglary that occurred last month. 59-year old Gerard Rueschenberg, of Westphalia and 58-year old Leann Grieder, of Harlan, have been charged with Burglary in the 3rd degree. Both were brought to the Shelby County Jail and later posted $5,000 bond each before being released.
Authorities say evidence discovered during a rural farm residence burglary on Dec. 20th resulted in a search warrant being executed Dec. 22nd at Rueschenberg’s residence in Westphalia. During the search, numerous items from the burglary were recovered. Additional items were recovered at the Grieder residence in Harlan on the same date.
Phil Everly, one half of the pioneering Everly Brothers harmony duo that sparked the imaginations of rock ‘n’ roll singers for decades, has died. He was 74. His son Jason Everly says his father died Friday at a Burbank hospital of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
In the late 1950s and 1960s, Everly and his brother Don molded rock ‘n’ roll with their high harmony while their poignant lyrics captured the restlessness and energy of a generation of young people. Their hit records included the then-titillating “Wake Up Little Susie” and the universally identifiable “Bye Bye Love.”
Their parents, Ike and Margaret Everly along with the boys, had a show on KMA radio and KFNF in Shenandoah in the 1940s. Singing on the show gave the brothers their first exposure to the music industry. The family sang together and lived and traveled in the area singing as the Everly Family. The Everly Brothers grew up from ages 5 and 7 through early high school in Shenandoah.
In all, their career spanned five decades, although they performed separately from 1973 to 1983. In their heyday between 1957 and 1962, they had 19 top 40 hits.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — It has been decades since parts of the Midwest experienced a deep freeze like the one expected to arrive this weekend. Potential record-low temperatures starting Sunday and expanding into next week are increasing fears of frostbite and hypothermia even in a region where residents are accustomed to bundling up.
This “polar vortex,” as one meteorologist calls it, is caused by a counterclockwise-rotating pool of cold, dense air. The frigid air, piled up at the North Pole, will be pushed down to the U.S., funneling it as far south as the Gulf Coast.
Temperatures are projected to dip to 25 below in Fargo, N.D., and minus 31 in International Falls, Minn. The San Francisco-Green Bay playoff game Sunday at Lambeau Field could be one of the coldest NFL games ever played.
