“Vero man makes bad call after allegedly buying stolen cell phone, offering to sell it back to owner.”

This was in the Press Journal in Vero Beach, FL yesterday. Somebody thinks they’re clever…

Hi Becky,
I too, check in on the old “Retched Eagle” despite having left “Traggic City” in 1989. When I left there was only one public Junior High and one public Senior High (I went to St. Francis on 11th St.)
I still miss Lake Michigan, snow for Christmas and the Cherryland Mall. Full Moon Records – is that still in business on Front street?

Staten Island teen sentenced for selling drugs days into probation.

HIV survey finds New Yorkers may not be as safe as they think.

Feds thwart major drug ring that passed through Staten Island.

they make it sound like we live in a high drug and STD zone which is not how SI is at all.

Embezzlement of funds from the Oregon State Fair: http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080111/NEWS/801110331

Embezzlement is a common thread these days, since there’s a pretty major scandal going on about embezzlement ocurring at the state prison system.

Also, local boy earns a world record for text messaging. http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008801100323

Actually, the top story for my hometown paper is pretty good–seems some high school students staged a walkout in protest of the school disciplining some other students who had pictures on their Facebooks of alcoholic beverages. Go EPHS!

But here’s another headline, more in the same vein of the original post:

Maytor Coleman proclaims Jan. 18 “Pheasants Forever Day”

But as far as local newspapers go, I think the best headlines come from the Arcata (Calif.) Eye’s Crime Log, a selection of which can be viewed here:

Marshfield, WI’s biggest headline at the moment:

1. Potential cuts would affect more than schools

this includes cutting elementary school extracurricular music, middle school extracurricular sports, as well as shutting down the high school’s pool and swim teams, plays and musicals, German classes, student council, driver’s ed, and on and on. It’s pretty sad, because it was one of the better small town school districts in the state.
