TOWNSHIP OF LEBANON, Wis. - Officials were called to a UTV rollover in the Township of Lebanon where the driver, and only human occupant, was found dead around 11 p.m. Saturday, May 1. A dog was an apparent passenger on the vehicle, but was uninjured and released to family.
A passerby saw the incident on Monroe Rd near La Follette Rd, about 7-8 miles northeast of Watertown.
The initial investigation indicated the UTV was northbound on Monroe Rd, left the roadway on the right shoulder, and overturned in a marshy ditch, ejecting the driver.
A Milwaukee pastor who lived up to his favorite phrase You don t throw people away will be remembered for launching a jobs initiative that helped hundreds find employment.
Pastor Jerome Smith, 49, overcame childhood poverty and a suicide attempt as a young man, then devoted himself to helping others get back on their feet. He led the Joseph Project from his church on Milwaukee s north side since 2015. The faith-based program connects adults from central-city neighborhoods, especially those who are formerly incarcerated, with job opportunities in the region, and provides transportation and training.
Smith died Tuesday, April 27, from complications of COVID-19. It’s just really hard for me right now to put to words how much he meant to so many people, said Orlando Owens, a Milwaukee minister and aide for Sen. Ron Johnson who partnered with Smith to create the program. So many people he touched and supported.
