• Stoplights are out at Kingston and Main in Caledonia (hometownsource.com) — A second T-bone crash in a month at South Kingston and Main in Caledonia knocked out the traffic signal last night, though thankfully no one was injured. The city has installed four-way stop signs until the light is repaired, and police say the investigation into the latest collision is still ongoing. 
• Week ending Oct. 3: Lowest E85 gas in Racine County reaches $1.99 (racinesun.com) — Drivers in Caledonia are seeing some of Racine County's lowest E85 prices, with one of two stations hitting $1.99 per gallon during the week ending Oct. 3. Countywide, E85 averaged $3.06, still well below the statewide average of $3.58, as tight fuel supplies and global oil disruptions keep overall gasoline markets volatile.
