At 11:05 pm on the 6th officers received a driving complaint about a car driving all over the road on Highway 60. The vehicle was located, and the officer witnessed the vehicle driving erratically. The officer initiated a traffic stop in which the driver ignored emergency lights so the officer activated the siren to get the attention of the driver. The driver turned off Highway 60 onto Highway 71 North then turned onto Langley and then onto 3rd Avenue. The vehicle finally came to a stop at 3rd Ave and 14th Street. After investigation, an arrest was made of a 41-year-old male from Windom for possible 2nd Degree DWI, Driving After Cancellation and Penalty for not Complying with Peace Officer.

Time is coming to a close for the opportunity to donate to the Christmas Cheerbox Project and with the record-breaking numbers of applicants this year, donations are still needed. According to President of the Windom Women of Today, Monica Muller (Moller) they have 303 kids with 110 families which is the most ever and donations seem to be down by looking at the boxes set out for collecting toys at various locations in Windom, Storden, Jeffers, Westbrook, and Mountain Lake. Muller stated that it seems the need go up every year with donations not following suit. It is their vision to give every baby 0-2 years of age a bag of diapers and there are 64 infants to buy for this year. Muller went on to say that in the past years they have tried to give each family a $10 gift certificate to HyVee, which with donations being down this year, probably won’t be a possibility due to having to purchase more gifts for the higher number of children registered for the program. Boxes will be out till Wednesday December 11th. If you really want to make a difference in a child’s Christmas this year, please put on your Santa hat and donate either a toy, clothing or hats and gloves and place it in a Christmas Cheer box. If you would rather help monetarily, you can drop off donations at Bank Midwest in Windom and Westbrook, United Prairie Bank in Windom or Mt Lake, First Security Bank in Storden, State Bank of Jeffers. If you don’t know where boxes are set up, drop off your donations at KDOM and we will make sure that they get delivered. Open your heart’s this year and help the Cottonwood Cheer Box Program gift every one of the 303 children a present to make this a memorable Christmas.
