Breaking (local) news: - Mable Marie Halpern called police to complain that her neighbor blew leaves from his yard into hers. She says he does it every fall and she thinks he should stop doing it.
- Johnny Aldridge was found after a four hour hunt by the Clam City rescue squad. It seems that a neighbor had knocked on his door, and when he didn't get a response, he called the police who initiated a city-wide manhunt.
However Johnny was found safe and sound. Apparently he had been in the backyard smoking a pig on his brand new smoker all this time, and they found him when he came back inside the house. You can imagine his surprise when he found the rescue squad there. Well, Johnny laid out the pig on his kitchen table, and it was enjoyed by all. This story which could have been a tragedy has a happy and (from this reporter’s standpoint) delicious ending. The Chief deputy (who was witnessed to have eaten a large share of the smoked pig) was heard telling Johnny while slapping his leg and belly laughing that he needed to get lost like this more often. Ha Ha.
- WKND weekend news was on the scene of a horrible accident. An oak tree limb broke off and landed on Black street, partially blocking the street. Fortunately everyone was able to drive around it, and we can happily report no casualties.
