Two Arsonists Sentenced

Sheila Kay Grevenstuk, 34, and Michael Grevenstuk, 34, were each sentenced Thursday in Kosciusko Superior Court to four years in prison for arson, a Class C felony.However, Mrs.Grevenstuk had two years of her sentence suspended for probation and Mr.Grevenstuk's whole term was suspended. Believing that Mrs.Grevenstuk was more culpable than her husband, Prosecutor David Kolbe asked the judge to consider sending her to prison if he felt that one of the parents should remain in the home with their four children. "I believe that (Mrs.Grevenstuk) is the brighter of the two," Kolbe said."She was more capable of planning and designing this thing." Judge Robert Burner did choose to imprison Mrs.Grevenstuk over her husband, but said he did so for medical reasons and not because he believed one was more guilty than the other.Mr.Grevenstuk takes six different prescription medications, has had open heart surgery and suffers from a back injury.

'Bicycle Bandit' Has Town On Edge

It used to be the kind of town where people simply didn't worry about locking their doors and windows at night. No more. A string of residential break-ins over the spring, summer and fall has Warsaw-area homeowners scurrying to find ways to beef up their home and personal security systems. "Most people are just downright horrified that people might break in and hurt their loved ones," said Jeff Holladay at Radio Shack. He said Radio Shack is selling "probably three to four times what we normally do" in terms of alarm systems - everything from personal alarms to monitored security systems. The demand for monitored systems, in which a customer pays a monthly fee and any home alarm is answered by a security company, has increased about 25 percent, said Melody Reese, a co-owner of Reese Security Services Inc.on East Winona Avenue.

The two-day event, held at Swan Lake Resort west of Plymouth, was designed to address personal, family and farm issues to meet the unique needs of women. Jischke's talk began the second day of the conference, and he began by saying that since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, Americans want rural values back.
