A 16 year old Wilson High School student was arrested for
trespassing yesterday after he came to school after being
suspended. Principal Dan Johnson told Sheriff's deputies
Joshua Christian was suspended last week due to behavorial
problems. He said Christian was told he was not allowed on
school grounds until other arrangements were made for his
education. He said Christian has been back several times and
when confronted said he would not leave and he was going to
have to be arrested. His grandmother told deputies Christian
was "out of control" and would not obey her orders. Christian told
deputies he did not care and he was not going to leave because he
felt he was not suspended and they'd have to arrest him. He's now
being held on $100 bail in the County Jail. He's due in town court
October 14 at 7pm.

GRAND ISLAND BRIDGES
A 2 year project to rebuild the concrete underpinnings of the
South Grand Island bridges will start soon. The $48-million job
also calls for the replacement of the bearings supporting the
steel trusses. Workers will be putting up the platforms this Fall
and the repairs will start in the Spring. The surface of the Northbound
bridge will be replaced in 2010. It'll be the first time it's been replaced
since the span was built in 1962. The work will be done entirely
at night so all lanes can stay open during the day and on weekends.
The American Bridge Company of Pittsburgh is slated to finish the
project by November 2010. The North Grand Island Bridges are
slated for an overhaul sometime after 2011.

HONOR FLIGHT
State Senator George Maziarz is co-sponsoring another
trip to Washington Wednesday so local World War II vets can
visit the memorial honoring their service. The World War II
Memorial opened in 2004 and Maziarz says the sad truth is
that most of the 16 million men and women who served during
that era will never get to see it. Over 30 vets will be on board when
the flight leaves the Buffalo airport Wednesday morning. Maziarz
was on board the first "Honor Flight" this past June. He says it
was one of the most memorable and rewarding days in his career
in public service.
