Celtic Soul: I've lived in cities too, and that is the reason why I find this stuff so utterly ridiculous. It doesn't make it any easier that the newspaper comes out at 4 in the afternoon (all the school kids should concentrate on school and SLEEP in the mornings --not deliver newspapers) So we wait until they get out of school for delivery of news that's usually a day or two old anyhow...Nobody seems to mind. (for the finance world--we're close enough to Seattle)

Well, as of yesterday, front page news was 'pollination': "A bee gets an early jump on pollination Thursday afternoon on a blooming tree in Ellensburg. The tree is located along Ruby Street at the intersection of Fourth Avenue" Give me strength! But the Police Blotter gems were as follows:

According to KITTCOM documents, the following were some of the situations reported to emergency services from 4-18 to 4-19:
* A Ronald resident reported his neighbor's junk getting on his property
* A 6-year old child fell off a dryer on 6th Avenue
* Someone riding a motorcycle was doing more than 100mph on Dry Creek Road
* Several large gatherings were reported in North Ellensburg
* A SR970 resident reported that his neighbor's dog just killed his chickens
