FRONT PAGE
HARRISBURG—Results of audit raise concerns: The city of Harrisburg was audited last year, and there are some disturbing things found within it….stuff that former treasurer Charlie Will warned them about MONTHS ago. Is that why he is “former”? We make no suppositions, and leave it up to you to decide what this means for the city…including massive water loss of water coming from yet another ChickenBob enterprise, the Saline Valley Conservancy District.
Jordan Fletcher…over-charged in Richland
RICHLAND CO.—Shooting in Richland Co.: Think you know about the shooting that took place basically just down the road from us because you read the little piece in the Olney paper about it? You don’t know ANYTHING about it until you read this article….and believe me when we tell you, there’s more to come, because this most assuredly is another case like Brandon Jenkins’.
RICHLAND CO.—Stalemate in cop war before filing of federal civil suit: Here’s another one that, like the Richland shooting, mainstream media is either overlooking or is spinning to have more to do with the civil suit Kelly Henby has filed against Rick White and ISP than what it actually is: a filing by a former ISP agent against a current one, asking the court to keep the current AWAY from the former in a civil stalking/no-contact order. The sad fact is, lamestream news outlets don’t want to lose their precious source of information, lil Ricky White, and they didn’t say a fucking WORD about this very important case, even after the filing of the civil suit…which they didn’t beat us on, btw; it’s in this article.
ALBION—Resignations stun council: And this is yet ANOTHER story that mainstream/lamestream media is spinning to support their advertisers, and is ignoring the bigger story—a fire department that thinks they’re answerable to no one, and the torment they’ve put a city alderwoman through after she “asked too many questions” about it. We’ve gotten HEAPS of praise for this article since it hit the stands…don’t miss this one, because we can just about guarantee you, this is going on in every little stinking burg in downstate…and maybe in the nation.
Dee Burgin and the lovely honey who split up his marriage.
EDGAR CO.—Illegal loan activity over ambulance?: Our Heartland-area front-pager features Deputy Dawg Dee Burgin, originally of Richland County, and the wrongs he committed against Edgar while he was there…and how another dumbass in a position of public trust is now doing pretty much the same thing Dee-Dawg was doing.
BACK PAGE
JACKSON CO.—Coroner’s inquest slanted; ‘Undetermined’ cause of death: The horror of the Molly Young case in Carbondale, where ISP is in on making sure the public hears only the things about the young woman to make her look like a looneytoon…but who’s the real loon here? Upcoming coverage of the matter will show you beyond a shadow of a doubt…and make you wonder who’s running the show in Jackson County.
SALINE CO.—Arrests made in meth lab explosion: The long-awaited arrest of community flakes Roger Combs and Mary Beth Hutchison for the mobile meth lab explosion dating back to November. You need to see this one for the mugshots alone.
HARDIN CO.—Superintendent looking at ways of saving his school: There was a TON of misinformation circulating at the end of January about the status of certain teachers/staff at Hardin County Schools, as well as what was going to happen with the school itself. We cut through the crap and went straight to the superintendent, who gave the answers to everyone’s questions.
EDGAR CO.—Trial to begin Feb. 19: Ongoing coverage of the upcoming murder trial of Terry Payton…which we’re coming to understand might be a debacle, as the court authorities are trying to control who does and doesn’t get to be in the courtroom during jury selection. Watch the site closely, as we intend to cover this one in great detail.
SALINE CO.—Galatia tornado; 11 months later to the day: Coverage of the tornado that ripped a path right down the middle of Galatia, 11 months to the day after the terrible Harrisburg Leap-Day Tornado that killed 7 people.
HARRISBURG—THE TORNADO WITHOUT AN ANNIVERSARY DATE: There is no February 29 this year…but we have photos of devastation from last year, side-by-side with the same areas having been recovered or rebuilt, within the city of Harrisburg/Gaskins City.
EGYPT
HARRISBURG—Liquor license ordinances revised, to the dismay of most license holders in city: The ongoing liquor license-holder fight within Harris burg, and how people are beginning to really speak out about it now.
SALINE CO.—Brutal beating, sodomy, reported against woman; sex offender jailed: With the wealth of people shouting “he didn’t do it!”, it makes everyone else wonder just what happened to poor Vanessa Gibbs in early February.
Ashlee Stanley, from a coupla years ago…current mug is in this issue.
SALINE/GALLATIN COs.—Sentencing in GallCo girl’s Saline Co. case: The little terror who should have been put away years ago, Ashlee Stanley, is facing sentencing in a brutal little event that occurred last summer in Saline County.
WHITE CO.—Grand jury harvests suspected dopers, elusive drug agent comes into question: The mostly-pot grand jury in White…and the drug agent who may or may not be behind it, but is coming into question regarding LOTS of other doings in the state police over the years.
HARRISBURG—FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT FOR OTHERS: A little bit of coverage of the fire that broke out January 22 in town, and the firefighters who battled it.
HARDIN CO.—Single vehicle Hardin Co. accident leaves two dead: As promised, lots more information on the fatal accident that took the lives of two Hardin residents, a father and daughter, the first weekend of February. You asked for it…so if you don’t like it, remember the old adage “be careful what you ask for.”
WHITE CO.—Multi-county crim faces burglary/theft charges: Lil Brant Duffy can’t stay out of trouble. What’s this boy’s problem, anyway?
SALINE CO.—“Homeless” guy faces methamphetamine charges: Just “messing around” in a garage…
GALLATIN CO.—Gets seven years for meth cooking in Shawneetown: Well, at least Allan Roe is doing SOMETHING with some of these meth heads…
SALINE CO.—OPs, felony languishing STILL for former guard: The tale of Kyle Schwartz gets ever more interesting as his civil cases are punted by judges unwilling to hear them.
HARDIN CO.–Correction/amplification: Chrissy Reed Oliveda, mom to local crim Martina Shores, is not dead. We can’t go into how the misinformation happened without revealing some of our best sources, so we’re just issuing this correction on the article from last month.
SALINE CO.—Teen charged with passing bogus bills; sticky fingers and bad checks in the ‘burg: We predicted that as times got tougher, the young crims would abound. This article is proof of that.

CENTRAL
RICHLAND CO.—The Earp/Trout connection spawns OP; pot charge leveled against young hanger-on: What’s an issue of Disclosure without an Urp story? And you won’t be disappointed in this one; it’s the long-awaited OP between Flav Urp and his latest babymomma breeder, as well as a pot bust of a distant connection to the repulsive clan.
Jimmy Todd Mahrenholz
LAWRENCE CO.—Flurry of protection orders filed in wake of methamphetamine arrest: Oh, if only prosecutors would look at the civil files once in awhile and see what the citizens are alleging…in this case, it might put a SERIOUS dent in the meth trade in Lawrence County…
WABASH CO.—Civil filing issued against federally-indicted Williams: Somehow everybody in media—including US—missed the OP filing a year ago against Kevin Williams. We’re usually a little more alert to this kind of thing, but mainstream media completely blows them off. Had they not, we’d have known nearly a year in advance what the Spond family was alleging against him…and the federal indictments wouldn’t have come as such a big surprise to everyone.
RICHLAND CO.—Dopers dealing for cash-strapped county rake in at least four felony busts: The “county-run dope operation” (read: utilization of narcs) is still going full bore.

LAWRENCE CO.—Schauf grandbabydaddy in trouble in civil, criminal courts, over bad checks, small claims: JP Stevenson has written allegedly bad checks all over the county. Chris Quick is finally coming down on his allegedly worthless ass. We might at this juncture note that we did NOT mention Connie Schauf-White in this, or any other article in at least the past two years…but because she’s been cyberstalking Ang, we’re now going to mention her every chance we get. Way to make the news, you dimbulb. And remember: if you sue, you have to prove we’re WRONG; we don’t have to prove we’re RIGHT. Truth is its own defense, and we have the screenshots and emails to prove you are indeed dim.
WABASH CO.—Two teen girls among women charged: All criminal cases we featured out of WabCo this month are of females. What the hell…
EDWARDS CO.—Attempt to flee police failed; young Albion man convicted years later: Former mayor’s son in the first report; son of a former employee in the second.
OLNEY—White Horse Saddle Club reimbursement?: The saddle club has been having problems with the city. But at least Brian James O’Neill isn’t involved in this one.
LAWRENCE CO.—Accused testicle kicker charged with felony: All I can say to this one is…ouch.
LAWRENCE CO.—Head-on collision on highway could have been a lot worse; woman charged with DUI: A lot of people were aware of the incident involving an allegedly-drunk Holly Gliddon on the night it happened (Feb. 2); all we weren’t aware of was her name. Now we have it, along with the rest of the pertinent information in this terrifying wreck scenario.
CLAY CO.—Drugs and violence cases featured in Clay cop log: Lots of meth busts still going on in Clay…and after an incident that occurred during delivery, we’re beginning to see why.
WABASH CO.—Church deacon convicted in six-day trial: All I can say to the whiners is: I hope you bitched to high heaven about the OTHER media outlets that identified Jay Griggs, convicted sex offender, as a “church deacon,” considering that at the time of his offense, he WAS.
CLAY CO.—Sailor Springs man facing meth charges: Hm. After the Jay Griggs fiasco, I’m wondering if people in Sailor Springs will bitch about me identifying dude as being from their village….
OLNEY/U.S. DIST. CT, BENTON—Federally-charged man on recog bond, under child porn counts: The full story on the Gillard guy who was allowed to run loose around the county for more than a year while being under suspicion not only of child porn, but of molestation as well.
HEARTLAND
EDGAR CO.—Corruption impacts election board: What would you do if you watched election fraud being perpetrated right in front of you, and your county prosecutor was part of it? The Edgar County Watchdogs fought back, and set an example of what EVERYONE should do if they suspect election fraud at the very point of origin—the petitions to run for office.
CRAWFORD CO.—Victim of shot-up house takes cops on rural high-speed chase: This is one of those crossover stories that just leaves you shaking your head saying “you gotta be ON the stuff to understand…”
CUMBERLAND CO.—Circuit clerk hiding information after man threatened with murder: Can Golda Dunn get any more offensive? The answer might lie in what happens after we submit our next round of FOIAs to her office.
CRAWFORD CO.—Lawrence woman charged with battery in Crawford: Yet another crossover, yet another head-shaking session.
EDGAR CO.—Late-breaking; State’s attorney punts case to Paris mayor: Edgar County board chairman Chris Patrick has cost the county MILLIONS in grants and other money because of a conflict of interest that could have been avoided. The corruption in Edgar is so thick, it appears people are suffocating in it.
CLARK CO.—Battery suspect TASERed at Dairy Queen: Well, if ya gotta get TASERed, might as well be someplace that has softserve.
COLES CO.—Gunplay lands NC man behind bars: Sometimes, the mugshots make the story. In Coles County, they OFTEN do.

CRAWFORD CO.—Man charged with pimping fake adderol: What is really was, however, remains a mystery; nevertheless, dude is charged.
COLES CO.—Beer chucker call leaves officer injured: Typical weekend activities in Charleston; we’re just sorry the cop got hurt.
JASPER CO.—Jasper duo charged with attempt to deliver meth: Lot of that going around Jasper County lately…
CUMBERLAND CO.—Defense in child porn case claims evidence gathered improperly: Little-known fact…cops can’t just “take” a cell phone from someone suspected of child porn or any other crime; a warrant for its seizure has to be obtained. That little tidbit, sadly, might sink this case.
COLES CO.—University police bag one in Douglas Hall: When asked if it’s your weed, well…read the article to find out the “right” thing to do.
CLARK CO.—Cops: “Cheeked” weed swallowed: Talk about ingesting cannabis…
COLES CO.—Teen granted shot at rehabilitation: Read this story; you’ll see that this kid might actually deserve a second chance. As for the other guy, well…
CLARK CO.—Marshall woman charged with punching teenage girl: Pugilistic females in Marshall.
