POLICE RELEASE GOODIS RANSOM TAPE

http://www.voicedailynews.com/kidnapped.php
Monday, June 4th, 2007
Area scientist, Andrew Goodis, whose dramatic abduction two weeks ago shocked this community, is believed to still be alive after the release today of a dramatic ransom video. The tape was discovered in an unmarked manila envelope in the editorial offices of The Voice Daily News and immediately turned over to authorities involved in the Goodis case.

This ransom tape is the first sign in two weeks that Mr. Goodis is alive after much confusion around his abduction. Goodis is known by friends and family as a loving father and husband and accomplished scientist without significant financial assets and no known enemies. Investigators are baffled by the $2M ransom demand given the family's financial situation.

"Andrew Goodis had a salary consistent with his position as a research chemist for a small to medium sized pharmaceutical firm," said Detective Roger Kinlan, the lead investigator on the case, "Neither his wife nor himself have the kind of money that kidnappers usually look for in a target."

In her fight to find her husband, Christina Goodis has arranged a $25,000 reward for her husband's safe return and has set up a website in hopes that the online community her husband was such a part of can help her. Their son, Max Goodis, has been assisting his mother with the website upkeep and design.

"We're going to be putting out a new message every day to those who are helping us find Andrew," Christina told the Voice Daily News, "Hopefully with everyone pitching in we'll be able to figure out why he was kidnapped and bring him home".

"I'm going to be filming the videos every day and posting them to our site" Max Goodis said at the press conference yesterday. "I make little movies all the time, but this one just has to have a happy ending. It has to."

Goodis is a well-respected member of the community and a highly regarded scientist at Akarm Pharmaceuticals. CEO and President of Akarm, Grant Tenbrook, has praised Goodis as a valuable member of the company, saying he was "instrumental in the development of Freevira, our revolutionary cold vaccine." Freevira is due to be released to the public on June 20, 2007.

Authorities are urging anyone who has any information about the Goodis kidnapping to please visit Christina Goodis' website www.savemyhusband.com.

ARSON IN VICTER PARK

http://www.voicedailynews.com/arson.php
Firefighters rushed to a small fire at Victer Park early this morning after 911 calls reported the grass in the northern end of the park on fire. Firefighters brought the small fire under control and the fire chief has said that they are not ruling out arson.

"After arriving at the scene, we found eleven smoke bombs within the burned-out area. We're under the assumption that kids were in the park and lighting these smoke bombs without any care or responsibility to these public parks and the people who use them. We'll get these little buggers," fire chief Kenneth Busher said. "We won't leave any stone unturned. Causing damage like this to our public greenery is unacceptable and we plan on using every tool at our disposal to apprehend these criminals."

The police currently have no suspects.

Damages have already been assessed at $415 for new sod and labor.

LOCAL BOOTLEGGERS ARRESTED

http://www.voicedailynews.com/bootleggers.php
DATE TBD
Two men were arrested late last night after local and state police raided their home and found homemade whiskey, bootlegging equipment and supplies.

Ronald Sheens, 42, and Donald Satellite, 32, were charged with illegal possession of controlled substance, bootlegging and conspiracy to cross state lines with alcohol. Police raided the home they share after a long investigation led them to the house where it is alleged the two men have been running a bootlegging ring for the past twelve years. Officers found kitchen sinks full of corn whiskey and a dozen containers in the basement used for distilling the low-cost liquor.

If convicted, Sheen and Satellite face 12 to 25 years in prison.

"I think we set a precedent today, in this town, that moon-shining is illegal and won't be tolerated. This ring has been operating for too long and today, we've taken more illegal whiskey out of the hands of those people who abuse the product and also the liquor license system," Captain Wilson Hunting said at a news conference.

The attorney for Mr. Sheen, Macy Green, came forward and said she believed the authorities were only trying to find a fall guy. "The town police needs to take another look at the liquor laws. Is it a crime to own a little liquor in your home? This isn't the prohibition era, you know."

Police confiscated twelve hot water boilers in Sheen and Satellite's basement that were full of 40 to 50 gallons of homemade corn whiskey. Sheen and Satellite have already posted a 50 thousand dollar bond each. A court date is set for the second week of next month.

CINEMA TEMPORARILY SHUTTING DOORS

http://www.voicedailynews.com/cinema.php
DATE TBD
Wellrock Cinemas will close its doors today for four months while it undergoes renovations to its lobby and food counter.

After heavy donations from a charitable drive, the owner of the cinema, Sam Wellrock, said it was a bittersweet moment.

"As sad as I feel it might be to lose an icon like this for four months, we'll be re-opening in the winter with a better movie-going experience." Wellrock went on to say they would be opening their new doors with half-price movie tickets for the first two weeks.

The Wellrock Cinemas have been open for 16 years and a recent donation push brought in over 25 thousand dollars to be put towards renovating the old structure that stands in the heart of town.

CELL PHONE EXPLOSION HURTS GIRL
http://www.voicedailynews.com/cell.php
DATE TBD
A 15-year-old girl who was admitted to the hospital Tuesday evening claims her cell phone apparently exploded while she was text messaging a friend.

Tara Canterson was typing into her cell phone when the device caught fire and burst in her hand. She was taken to the emergency room where she received treatment for second degree burns and minor lacerations.

Canterson's mother claims the phone was faulty and plans to explore possibilities for a lawsuit. "You never think that when you buy a cell phone for your child it might blow up in her hands. What if she had the phone to her ear when it exploded? It could have been a much worse situation," Mrs. Canterson said.

The cell phone manufacturer could not be reached for comment.

FOURTH GRADE CLASS INVENTS NEW ENGLISH WORD
http://www.voicedailynews.com/word.php

A local Elementary School class has successfully added a new word to the English language by petitioning the Coleman American Dictionary for the last year in a contest their teacher proposed as homework.

Mrs. Tammy Driggs' fourth grade class created a new word "frobble" and it will be published in the next edition of the famous dictionary. The class invented the noun to describe the following: a story that contains parts that are factual and fictional.

Mrs. Driggs came up with the idea after two members of the class didn't complete their vocabulary assignment and told a white lie in order to get out of trouble.

"The assignment not only helped the students think outside of the box in vocabulary, but also played their irresponsibility against them. Since coming up with this idea to create a word, all of the students have been timely when turning in assignments," Driggs said.

"I wish I had come up with that idea," said Edgar Deevers, "She has a way with words and children, you could say. This will do wonders for our school image."

A spokeswoman for the Coleman American Dictionary said they couldn't look past the word as something that would be relevant and needed in our English language. "From its spelling to its connotation to its specific definition, 'frobble' is here to stay," she said.

The class will travel to the King Phillips talk show next week as guests introducing the new word. "We get to go to New York and we get to be on TV and my grandmother is going to tape it if she figures out how to use the TiVo," said fourth grader Joshua Olives.

LOCAL SPORTS

EMBATTLED COACH LINGLER MOVING ON
http://www.voicedailynews.com/coach.php
DATE TBD
"Coach" Harvey Lingler is leaving the High School today after a 14 year run as the head coach of the Pirates football team. Lingler has accepted a position at rival high school, Gibsonwich, where he'll become the new head coach of football but also secure a department head position in their physical education department.

Lingler came under heavy scrutiny last fall when he was accused of tampering by school officials. Lingler had allegedly sold his own playbook to the opposing coaches of Division 4-AA football. The Pirates went 0-9 in that season.

Mitchell Bark, last season's offensive coordinator, will replace Lingler as the new head coach.

"It's been a long couple years with Harvey at the helm, and I think all parties involved are happy to see Harvey get the position with the Tigers," Bark said.

The Pirates football team will play Lingle's Tigers in the fourth game of the season.

PIRATES SOFTBALL TEAM ROUTS TIGERS
http://www.voicedailynews.com/pirates.php

The Pirates girl's softball team rolled into their neighboring rival's home turf last night and pummeled them in a blowout 28-2 win.

Pitcher Sandra Owets threw seven innings of four-hit ball giving up only two runs. She was lights out as only five Tiger players made it on base.

Then the bats came alive. OF Bella Coolpa went 7-8 with three homeruns and 12 RBIs. She was followed by 2B Morgan Joeseph who went 4-4 with three walks and knocked in 6 runs. Coach Robert Oscerson was very pleased with his undefeated girls' performance.

"They're really in the zone right now. I won't take anything away from the Tiger team, but we came out here to win and I'd say we achieved that goal," Oscerson said.

The girls' softball team is back home this weekend against the Bluebirds.

POLICE LOG

http://www.voicedailynews.com/police.php
Grocery Store Robbery
10:00 ET
Bell's Grocery Store reported 20 grocery carts stolen from their premises at 2:00 A.M. Wednesday morning.

Store security guard, Gregory Muser, called in the complaint after witnessing a disguised man running away with the stolen property. "I chased after him, but all of a sudden he turned a corner and was just gone. How the heck does a guy disappear with 20 shopping carts? It kinda freaked me out."

The grocery carts were reported to have an estimated value of $120 each. If anyone has any leads as to the whereabouts of the missing carts, please call the local police station.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noise Complaint
10:00 ET
Police responded to a noise complaint on Tuesday evening at 72 Jackson Street. Sandra Jankins, 94, called 911 after she says she heard a low bass registering from a passing car outside her window, disturbing her sleep.

After arriving at the scene, police said they found no car or motorist with loud bass noises coming from their vehicle. Jankins claimed that "hip-hop, hooligans and a break-down of our American principles were to blame."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stolen CDs
10:00 ET
Sarah Edmunts, of 544 Holly Lane, reported her CDs stolen from her vehicle at 8 P.M. on Tuesday evening. Police arrived on the scene to find her car window smashed.

Edmunts claims her book of CDs were valued at three thousand dollars. After stifling their laughter, the police took the report and issued a curfew for the neighborhood.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public Urination
10:00 ET
Police arrested Gary Draket, 42, of Gibsonwich after several motorists reported that Drake was standing in the middle of traffic with a shopping cart. When police arrived on the scene and stopped traffic, Drake was making engine noises with his mouth, pretending the grocery cart was a vehicle and urinating on himself. Police said they smelled alcohol on his breath.

Police have no idea what to charge him with, but are thinking about starting with drunk driving, theft and public urination. The cart was not one of the 20 stolen from Bell's grocery store earlier that week.

BUSINESS

Stocks Likely to Stabilize Next Week
U.S. stocks have finally stabilized after a rocky two weeks to start the new quarter. Strategists say that investors have banked on Federal Reserve Chairman Tom McKithy's remarks that the economy "is about to get back on track."

"We've been going up and down and investors have tired of this rollercoaster," says chief market strategist at Pogger & Co, Robert Mirten. He went on to say that stocks finished with a sharp week increase in the past quarter.

Tenbrook also serves on the board of The Historical Society, Green Sprouts Garden Club and has opened his home as a venue for many of the town's fundraisers. He also serves on several other boards of international companies.
