MBI Energy Services recently demonstrated its commitment to Belfield by donating an automatic external defibrillator (AED) to the Masons of Roosevelt Memorial Lodge No. 129.

JR Zuroff, of Hebron, doesn't hesitate to rescue people stranded on Interstate 94. As co-owner of Zuroff Repair Inc. and Towing Recovery Service, he makes every effort to locate stranded travelers.

They must think because there's a bubble on top of the truck, I must be a helicopter. Lots of times it's crazy to be out there."
