This week, visitors to a Minnesota cemetery will hear voices around the gravestones. In fact, some of the dearly departed will be standing there, telling their stories. Well, in "spirit," at least. Each October, the Winona County Historical Society gets volunteer actors to represent some of the people buried at Woodlawn Cemetery during their annual Cemetery Walk. Woodlawn Cemetery, in the bluffs of Winona, is among the most scenic in the state. And it holds plenty of colorful characters. When the earliest settlers arrived in what is now Winona, it was not only the beauty that drew them in. It was the potential they saw along the Mississippi River. Their bodies may be buried along a bluff nearby, but the stories of what they started are still being kept alive.
The mother of a teenage girl who's hockey equipment was stolen calls the generosity they've received "overwhelming." Someone broke into Robin Tomaszewksi's car and stole her 13-year-old daughter Jordyn's goalie gear, worth $2,700. The Tomaszewksis have been searching online for the items to show up. But now, strangers are helping Jordyn get back on the ice, and have pitched in to get her new gear. Jordyn was fitted with near gear Saturday at Total Hockey in Minnetonka with the help of Gongshow Gear.
A young man who was nearly beaten to death two months ago says the community's support has carried him through. Raymond Widstrand, 26, was walking on Payne Avenue in St. Paul east side when he was brutally attacked by a group of people.

Widstrand's now taking it day-by-day in the hospital, where he reads hundreds of comments from strangers on his CaringBridge site.

A 9-year-old Minneapolis boy was able to get through security and onto a plane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport without a ticket, an airport spokesman said Sunday. Security officials screened the boy at airport shortly after 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman Patrick Hogan said. The boy then boarded Delta Flight 1651, which left for Las Vegas at 11:15 a.m. The flight was not full, Hogan said, and the flight crew became suspicious midflight because the boy was not on their list of unattended minors. The crew contacted Las Vegas police, who met them upon landing and transferred the boy to child protection services, Hogan said.
