Last week the village had work done on a well located on the east side of town near the Carlson’s Propane tank.  The work was done by a crew from Sargent Drilling and lasted only a few days.

The Baseball and Softball season is coming to an end but last weekend was full of games. The 11-12 year olds traveled to Plainview on Saturday the 27th. This group from Wausa took the tournament with no losses throughout and brought home first place.

The 9-10 year olds traveled to Randolph to play against several teams at the tournament there. This group did an amazing job after 5 back-to-back games. Their only loss was to the Osmond ball club and they brought home 2nd place.

The Pierce County Attorney’s Office said Thursday that 26-year-old Matthew Schade was sentenced in district court to an indeterminate term of 18 months to 36 months for burglary.

Schade previously denied stealing the Silver City, S.D., volunteer fire department vehicle. Schade and his wife Rowena left their home in Creighton last March and headed to South Dakota fearing they’d lose custody of their children. They turned themselves in 18 days later. Rowena Schade was sentenced last month to an additional year of probation.

A storm moved through the area last night causing a severe thunderstorm warning to launch early this morning until 3:00 AM. The storm produced hail starting about 2:20 AM. Moving through the area it dumped heavy rain for a short period and then moved to the southeast.

Enjoy the video taken from the Downtown Webcam at around 2:47 AM right after the storm moved through Wausa.
