Pizza-flavored cake inspired by the Ninja Turtles?
Winona native Jeromie Terrell Jones served as an assistant on the second place team in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party on Monday night’s episode of Cake Wars on the Food Network.
Four master bakers and their assistants took on the Turtles — Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael — in order to take home a $10,000 prize. Greg Cipes and Mae Whitman, voices of Michelangelo and April O’Neil, served as guest judges to the panel.

But members of Winona Baptist Church will not tell their secrets as they prepare for the 2016 Winona Christmas Parade.

Shelton Moore didn’t say a word. He didn’t have to.
“I thank God for my wonderful husband, who refused to leave the room during chemo, despite my insisting that he go downstairs or take a drive,” Moore said. “Thanks to my daughter and son who were with me every step of the way.

Tela Collins, a member of the Health Ministries Committee at Winona Baptist Church and one of the organizers for the event made it clear that everyone knows someone with breast cancer – “male or female, black or white, Baptist or Methodist.”
