Adell Co-Op Explosion - Press Conference Audio - 9-14-2011 - ADELL, Wis. (WHBL) - Much, if not all, of the village of Adell is being evacuated this morning following an explosion at the Adell Co-op. Captain Dave Adams of the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department said it happened around 3 o’clock this morning and several explosions then followed. He said no one was in the co-op at the time. Matt Sholler from our sister station 106.5 The Buzz lives in Adell and said he was awakened by deputies knocking on his door. He said he never heard or felt the explosion but he could see a huge glow in the sky and embers from the blaze. Adams said people within a one-mile radius of the Co-op are being evacuated and housed at Random Lake High School. He said the Red Cross and Sheboygan County Public Health are at the high school to assist residents. Fire departments on the scene include Adell, Random Lake, Waldo, Silver Creek, Oostburg, Cascade, Batavia, Beechwood, Cedar Grove, Plymouth, and the Town of Sheboygan Falls.

Sheboygan Mayor Bob Ryan says he has no intention of stepping down. Ryan, in a live interview on WHBL this morning, apologized for the drinking incident which occurred last weekend in Elkhart Lake. He reacted to the council’s action last night calling for his resignation or removal from office saying he doesn't blame the council because what he did is "indefensible". But Ryan said in spite of his alcoholism he has been successful and has done a good job leading the city. Ryan admitted to a weekend drinking binge in Elkhart Lake and said he wasn’t refuting many of the things that are currently being reported. He admitted to passing out in a tavern in Elkhart Lake and to a shoving match but he did not intend to attempt to refute any of the reports. Meanwhile a resolution calling on the mayor to step down will be brought before the city council when it convenes on Monday.
