SALINE/GALLATIN COs–Got this in the mail this morning. This appeared in the Harrisburg Daily Register in April or May of 2000. Someone thought we should have it, as it’s pertinent to the current John B. Jones investigation. We can’t apologize for the typos, as they aren’t ours. We’re looking into more on the miseries experienced [...]
OLNEY–Where’s your drunk drivers driving on the sidewalk when you need em? Someone bothered to put up one of many videos floating around showing Richland County board candidate (term used loosely) Brian James O’Neill II (the second, or, junior) dancing outside one of Olney’s watering holes. Here’s a pic: and here’s the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UPe6NLy8Ww [...]
We’re working on a different kind of “top ten” (or top whatever) list for year’s end than what other media does. Four years ago we produced a special edition devoted specifically to the “most censored” stories of 2005. We ended up with 14 or 15. We’re not going to do a print version of that [...]
Now why would a tanning bed make a handful of people in Saline County nervous? We’re working on that. In the meantime watch who scrambles to diss this post. ____________________________30___________________________

We are looking into adding on a regular basis Hamilton, Hardin, Effingham and maybe a couple others like Williamson and Franklin. Are [...]
It just never ends for Champion Labs in Albion. One of the multitude of lawsuits Champ is facing in an amazing array of federal venues came to a conclusion on Dec. 11 when a jury awarded $6.5 million to Parker Hannifin Corp, home based in California, because, they said, Champion Labs infringed on a patented [...]
SALINE CO.–Of course Robert Wilson won the bid for trash pickup at the courthouse and jail in Saline County. When you’re talking trash, you’re talking Wilson, after all. Sheriff Keith Brown has announced that the only bidder for what was formerly county board member Danny Gibbs’ account (trash pickup at the two venues) was Wilson’s [...]
Or at least a couple of them, down around Harrisburg. We received a letter in the mail today regarding Illinois State Police. And it is so detailed, we thought rather than wait until the print version (on stands beginning Jan. 11), we’d go ahead and run it here…just so you can see what it’s being [...]
This guy, (Lenard Smock, aka lots of other names) left a gripe on our answering machine today, stating that his address as listed on the sex offender list that we publish every month is incorrect. Says if we don’t change the address to the right one, he’s gonna get hisself a attorney. Hope his attorney [...]
We installed forums over the weekend. Feel free to go ahead and register. I’m not sure how moderated they are, so have at it and we’ll see how it goes. After you register, just start your own topic and follow on through. UPDATE: There are evidently some bugs… You folks can go ahead and try [...]
