A piece of Janesville history is bulldozed. The Case Feed building, considered one of the oldest stores in the city, was demolished Tuesday. Linda Campbell and her sister Cindy Baxter lived above the store for 23 years. They moved out in 1992, and say conditions deteriorated quickly once the building was sold. The building has been the subject of city raze or repair orders off and on for the past few years. The city began tearing it down around 8:30 Tuesday morning. The property owner will receive the bill for demolition – about $25,000.

One of two southern Wisconsin brothers serving in Afghanistan has been killed. 20-year-old Army Private Adam Novak of Prairie du Sac and another soldier died last Friday, when insurgents used an improvised explosive device to attack their vehicle.

Novak’s 23-year-old brother Logan began serving in Afghanistan a week ago. He was sent home after his brother died.

The family had moved from Wisconsin to Fergus Falls Minnesota, where they stayed for 11 years before moving back. Novak was in the Boy Scouts in Fergus Falls, and he played soccer there. He completed his senior year of high school at Sauk-Prairie, where he graduated in 2008 and joined the Army. He met his wife Celeste at basic training. They were married in March, and were planning to have a formal ceremony upon his return home in November.

Adam Novak was a private in the Army’s 101st Airborne Division’s cavalry regiment based at Fort Campbell Kentucky. Funeral arrangements are pending in Prairie du Sac.
