We're putting out so many papers these days, we're probably going to have to start putting date ranges on the front so everybody will know they're getting the latest!
Print Headlines are presented by dateline (in caps; where the material in the article took place), then headline (with a link to the e-Edition version if you have an online membership); and are followed by a brief synopsis in our own snarky Disclosure style. Print Headlines are shown in order of how they appear in the paper: Front page, back page (a second front page), pages 2 and 3, Egypt, Heartland, Central, and Op-Ed. You can read the articles right here if you have a membership to the e-Edition, or by picking up a copy of the print version at any one of our wonderful vendors!
We're very excited to bring you the August 2015 issue, on stands for only two more weeks...and so now, without further ado, here are THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES.
FRONT PAGE
Willie Tison
HAMILTON CO.--Pedestrian killed; was it an accident? The first story in several months that the typo gods got us on; coverage of the accident that took the life of an Eldorado man, happening on deadline and hurriedly decided to place on page 1 because of the questions that have arisen about it in the wake of the death of Willie Tison.
RICHLAND CO.--Vaughn in as prosecutor: Coverage of the ascension once again of Olney attorney Brad Vaughn to the office of state's attorney...and what this can mean for some of the citizens of Richland County.
Jessica Shadowens booking photo
HAMILTON CO.--OPs in strange case of accused murderer's girlfriend: It doesn't get much stranger than Jessica Shadowens. And here's the explanation for her recent jailing in Marion...with a distinctly Hamilton County-angle.
Jacob Holland
WHITE CO.--Stabbing: Sex offender charged: We heard directly from inside sources on what really went on with the alleged battery, then the alleged stabbing, in Carmi the first weekend of August. This is a gasp-inducing article; read it.
BACK PAGE
ELDORADO--Kid used ruse to get officers' attention off him; escapes: The reality of what Cody Ward did at the end of July comes out. What a punk this kid truly is.
RICHLAND CO.--Man disrupts wake; charged in Richland: The man who, as of this writing, is missing from Olney - here's the full story, as also linked in the Read the Lead posted earlier this morning. Anyone with info on Clifford Darrell is urged to contact authorities.
Barb Wingo
SALINE CO.--Anna Bixby hoopla turns up federal records: There was so much unnecessary hoopla going on during the most recent pretrial hearing for the two women accused of using the Anna Bixby Women's Center like their own personal savings and loan...we figured all the other media was covering it because we had been the ones to break the story last fall...but when we examined the situation to see just what was going on, we found something the mainstream media hadn't yet.
EDGAR CO.--Dee's digs getting facelift despite bankruptcy: Dee Burgin. Again. And what's he doing to his HOUSE??
PAGE 2
SALINE CO.--Authorities are ready for the cold weather, hoping it'll slow down the crim activity: We are so glad many of the other mainstream papers in our area stopped reporting misdemeanors. It's given us a chance to report on them...and some of them are astonishing, some downright amusing. Enjoy these out of Saline County.
PAGE 3
Gotta beat that new clinic.
CLAY CO.--Little change in hospital situation: Those who've been asking about the Clay County Hospital situation are still a little left behind, here...there's not a lot to report, even though it's our understanding that there's still a LOT going on. Here's what we know, though.
EGYPT
GALLATIN CO.--Ridgway, Norris City, and Eldorado trio nabbed for DUI: A Gallatin County crim roundup with lots and lots of crossover, apparently.
SALINE CO.--Los Angeles man and Elizabethtown teen lead police on high-speed chase: This is the follow up to the big story that came out about a kid in Maunie "borrowing" his aunt's car.
GALLATIN CO.--Man with mohawk charged with meth: Not only is he charged with meth and has a mohawk...it's a weird color, too.
TARA WALLACE
HARDIN CO.--Prosecutor continues targeting area residents: The Tara-ble Wallace report out of Hardin County...because it's really no longer about those who she's charged, and it's difficult to chronicle who she DOESN'T charge...we'll just outline what's weird about the cases she IS charging.
HARDIN CO.--Hardin prosecutor hard-pressed with follow-throughs: There were a lot of miscellaneous remedy cases filed in Hardin County the previous two weeks, too. Which might not mean a lot to most people, but believe me...it's relevant to your interests, especially if you've been charged with a crime in Hardin.
GALLATIN CO.--Battery and weed make for a slow couple of weeks in Gallatin County: The basic crim roundup for Gallatin County.
GALLATIN CO.--OP battery allegations leads to felony charge over ammo...sort of: There might be a little bit of information missing in this entire thing, but if there is, it isn't because we didn't post it....it's because it just wasn't IN the file...which could be one of those he said/she said except for the fact that Allen Roe went the distance and charged the guy with a felony.
Shawn Michael Gooch, aka 'penis boy'
SALINE CO.--Penis displayed as nurse assaulted at Harrisburg Medical Center: Lovely Casey Harner is menaced at work by this guy, who just couldn't keep his hands--and other parts--off her.
SALINE CO.--Rash of ATV thefts plaguing the region: It must be a hot-weather thing, the stealing of ATVs and ATV parts. Because there sure is a lot of it going around.
SALINE CO.--Burglar charged with stealing child rapist's cell phone: There are some articles we write wherein we sit back after we're finished and go, "That couldn't POSSIBLY have happened..." and yet...it did.
HARDIN CO.--Face punch lands Stonefort man in the local lockup: A ROC One-Stop battery. There is usually one about ever so many months there.
SALINE CO. --Raleigh's "AKA woman" gets charged with pair of felonies: For those who don't know, "AKA" means "also known as." And this chick is known as a lot of different identities, actually...hence the headline.
SALINE CO.--Two busted for driving revoked, one goes to prison: There were an incredible number of felonies coming out of Saline this time over two weeks. We opted to free up pages 12 and 13 for them, so you get some of the mugs in color.
HARDIN CO.--Tina Williams surfaces again online; issues more threats: No one will ever stop Tina Williams, apparently. Well, maybe someone who she harasses mercilessly online will stop her. In their own way, head-on. We disavow any knowledge of it, in advance, if it happens.
SALINE CO.--Owen twins from Indy remain in hot water: Right. They're "from" Indianapolis. At some point in time, perhaps. Their local record tells the tale.
SALINE CO.--Lack of hair lands suspect behind bars: Sometimes, it doesn't pay to be who you are. In this case, it would've been better to have been wearing a BAD toupee, then ditched it, instead of having your bald head glowing for the victim to see.
SALINE CO.--Woman accused of beating up her own father: This is a horror story. We saw the guy up at the courthouse just a few days before we produced the article; he was looking bad.
SALINE CO.--Cops find bras supporting more than tiny ta's: Well, we're only presuming there were tiny ta's in there, as there wouldn't otherwise have been enough room for all the other stuff (allegedly) placed in the cups.
SALINE CO.--Facebook plea for help brings officers to domestic, then victim changes her mind: She did. The prosecution, however, did not.
HEARTLAND
Scott Barrett
CLARK CO.--Striving for propriety; par district board attorney might have stepped in it in July: When does the Clark County Park District NOT step in it, I ask you?? But this one is a doozy.
EDGAR CO.--Political season starts up: Edgar coroner candidate steps forward: A good news article about Edgar County, and one of the folks running for the very important office of county coroner...with a little explanation as to why a county coroner IS important.
CRAWFORD CO.--Flat Rock huffing suspect runs out of gas, busted for DUI: These people who huff. I don't get it. If someone could take the time to explain what this kind of activity does to their brains, I think they might stop. But then again...maybe not.
JASPER CO.--Newton couple facing drug charges again: We find ourselves at times wishing someone would just put Ecko Wells away...but then again, if someone did, we wouldn't have anything to write about once a year when she gets arrested routinely.
Harry Oliver's monthly mug
CRAWFORD CO.--Sex offender: Oliver's dope dabbling not enough to get charged with real crime: There are two downfalls here: Harry Oliver keeps skirting around the law; and if Robinson didn't have "ordinance violations" that encompassed synthetics, he'd have likely at least been charged with a misdemeanor, which, cumulatively speaking, might actually get this idiot put away eventually.
CRAWFORD CO.--Face punch, 9mm and sticky fingers focus of Crawford general criminal report: There's almost as much face-punching going on in this issue as there is ATV stealing. Wow.
JASPER CO.--Drug bust lands couple behind bars, leads to EOP: In this EOP, it's not real clear who the chick is more mad at - the perp, or the cops!
CRAWFORD CO.--Lawrenceville Green busted with buddy: It's not the Green in question that we feel needs mowed (you know...like a lawn); it's a black Green. LOL
CRAWFORD CO.--Quite the roundup in the misdemeanor files for Crawford: Like we said earlier...misdemeanors are fun. We should've been doing them all along.
CENTRAL
Bradley McCulley
CLAY CO.--Former sheriff's son subject of OP: Every so often - usually about once a year - lil Sonny McCulley's brat boy pops up on the courthouse run. This is one of those times; they're getting closer and closer together, too.
RICHLAND CO.--Son of mother-son incest case charged with sex crime: It doesn't get much sicker than this mess, and no one should be surprised that this Kimmel kid is back on the rolls, charged with a sex crime other than incest. Hopefully, with a new prosecutor in town who knows what he's doing, this nonsense can be STOPPED.
David Clayton Young, multi-county offender...alleged of course
HAMILTON CO.--Young guys from Hamilton hemmed up over deer kills in off-season; too many in-season after Facebook post: We're not sure how all of this came to the attention of the IDNR guys. Doesn't matter. Putting this one together was quite the task because...we could just visualize the IDNR guy writing out those citations, one after the next after the next after the next. We felt that way when we were done writing the article.
WHITE CO.--Thief charged with lying about violent punk: This is one of those you have to ask yourself: Which is worse, thieving, or violence?
WHITE CO.--Precursors, identity theft pack White ten crim report: Are we packed out with White County crims this month or WHAT??
WHITE CO.--Mimmo's targeted by teens: And if you think it's bad enough that they'd allegedly target a place as nice as Mimmo's...wait til you see who it is (hint: Check the IDNR citations).
HAMILTON CO.--McLeansboro woman enters guilty plea in federal court to embezzlement: The print version of the article presented here when Carolyn Hall entered her plea the other day. Yes, there are still people who don't read us online, and this is an important story.
LAWRENCE CO.--Previously convicted sex offender charged in new case: There are plenty of sex offenders coming out of Lawrence County lately, and prosecutor Chris Quick is attempting to make short work of them. Here are two.
HAMILTON CO.--Mexican busted on the reservoir: You know...if one of us legal Americans had been busted somewhere in Meheekoh driving only on an American license, you can dang sure BET we wouldn't be being treated as good as this guy is.
Charles E. Chase
CLAY CO.--Iuka meth felon headed to prison after playing kick-the-cop: Our one big felony coming out of Clay County this issue. It was, we're sure gratefully for them, a quiet two weeks, relatively.
RICHLAND CO.--Salem man busted with cocaine in Richland: Another of those nice crossovers. But, busted with a no-very-nice drug that doesn't exactly grow on trees in Richland County, ya know?
WHITE CO.--Cajun from N'Awleans and property damage highlight misdemeanors in White: Another Louisiana alleged offender in White County. Think he knows the obnoxious Jennifer Yates?
OP-ED
COLUMNS
SURLY & UNCOOPERATIVE (Jack): Trying to work hard on being trans-angry
ICY (Ang): Accident underscores how proud we are to have done away with slavery
