"[We've been friends for] about 20 [to] 25 years here," said Kubisiak.

NORRISTOWN, PA - Bill Cosby has been convicted of drugging and molesting a woman in the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
A jury outside Philadelphia convicted the "Cosby Show" star of three counts of aggravated indecent assault on Thursday. The guilty verdict came less than a year after another jury deadlocked on the charges.
Cosby was charged with violating Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. His lawyer called Constand a "con artist" who leveled false accusations against Cosby so she could sue him.

MERRILL - Just a few weeks ago, Wisconsinites spent hours shoveling and plowing from the latest dump of spring snow.
But Thursday, people put down their shovels and picked up their golf clubs.
"It was depressing to see white stuff still on the ground," said Northwoods golfer Merle Sheridan.
Sheridan recently came back from visiting Florida. He didn't think he would be golfing anytime soon in the Northwoods.
"I'm thrilled to be able to join my three [golf] partners and play in Merrill," said Sheridan.
Sheridan and dozens of others spent the Thursday at the Merrill Golf Club.
After multiple heavy spring snowfalls, many golf courses pushed back their opening date.
"It hurts us a little bit but we will make up for it in the rest of the year," said Merrill Golf Club Head Golf Pro Mike Potter.
