Here are some samples of true stories we have printed.
On politics:
BREMERTON, Wash. -- Two
candidates. One seat on the city council. And one very unique bond. Roy Runyon,
a six-year incumbent representing District 6, learned this week that his wife,
Kim Faulkner, filed for his seat. The couple is married and living together.
"I just sat down and said I think the city of Bremerton,
District 6, needs more qualified people to run for office," said Faulkner,
sitting next to her husband at a coffee shop. "I'm going to put my name in
the hat." "I was surprised," said Runyon. "I said, 'Boy,
you could do a really good job.'" Runyon added, "She has a different
approach, which might serve the citizens. She's eminently qualified. She's not
experienced in government. But she does have a different approach."
As for her husband, Faulkner gives him the grade of A-. "I
feel Bremerton has a lot more we need to do," she said, still sitting next
to her husband. "He's very straightforward with his approach. Maybe a
softer approach would be better." And then there was this: "I feel
I'd be the better candidate."
On science & nature:
BONN, Germany -- Researchers found plants give off a gas when under 'attack'. Super-sensitive microphones picked up a 'bubbling' sound from a
healthy plant, but this rose to a piercing screech when it was under
threat. Even a tiny insect bite could have an effect.
"The more a plant is
subjected to stress, the louder the signal," said Dr Frank
Kühnemann. Plants do not actually scream in pain, but different sounds are
heard when the gas they emit, ethylene, is bombarded with lasers.
The research could help
to work out which pieces of fruit and vegetables are likely to stay fresh
longer, as a cucumber which is starting to go off produces a squealing sound.
It could then be separated from the fresher ones.
On sports:
PORT DOUGLAS, Queensland -- It’s
hard to get a hole in one, but this golfer got four--in his leg!! John Lahiff, 75, told local media that he
disturbed a crocodile while looking for a ball he had hit in the water. He was taken to hospital with a deep laceration to his
shin and puncture wounds to his calf, but said he would not be put off playing
golf. He told ABC News he would try not to hit balls into the water in future.
Crocodiles
are a common sight on the golf course, Australian media reported, and signs
warn players of the dangers. Police Senior Sergeant James Coate told ABC that
the 1.2m (4ft) saltwater crocodile had been in a waterway on the 11th hole.
Mr
Lahiff, speaking from Cairns Hospital, said he had seen crocodiles there before
and "should have realized to be a bit more aware". "I didn't see
the croc sunbaking just on the edge of the water. I walked past it and then it
got me on the way back and as soon as it grabbed me it took off into the
water."
He managed to drive
himself back to the club house to get help.
