Friday, around noon, the Monticello Fire & Rescue Dive Team was called to Lake Monticello, where a couple fishing were trying to load their boat onto its trailer.

The Chevy pick-up’s motor shut off, causing the vehicle to slowly roll back into the lake.

A nearby SeaArk worker helped get the femail driver out of the vehicle, and no one was injured.

Divers swam out to the submerged truck, hooked a tow-line to the vehicle, and rode it back to the loading ramp.

C&L wrecker, Drew County Sheriff’s Deputies, OEM, and ADEM, also helped with the incident.

KXSA Off Air, Due to Friday Fire at Transmitter Site

Joe Burgess — Mon, 20 May 2013 12:54:41 +0000

Friday afternoon, around 3:30, the Collins-Comonto Fire Dept. responded to a building fire just off of HWY 35 East, near Cominto.

The building that was destroyed had housed the transmitters for KXSA radio, 103.1.

Lightning had reportedly struck the tower recently, but the station was on the air, earlier Friday.

The building and its equipment appear to be a total loss.

Pines Broadcasting owner Jimmy Sledge was considering how to get the station back on the air by other means, Friday, but nad not had time to make any arrangements.

KWRF 105.5 plays current counrtry, a slightly different format than KXSA played, but it may have to be a substitiute for local listeners for awhile.
