Wait, what?
Yes. It's 2017. How many papers did we bring you in 2016....? A LOT. And the last one we brought you is technically the first of the year...January Special Edition 2017...and it's on stands RIGHT NOW, as of Wednesday, December 28. That'd be 2016, but who's counting. Actually...we are. We produced THREE papers for you in December, and we're hoping you've read all of them. if not, here's your chance if you're an e-Edition subscriber, with THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES!
Print Headlines are a way we can show you what's in the current issue on stands as well as what's available here at the e-Edition. They're presented in order of appearance in the paper: Front Page, Back Page (second front page), Pages 2 & 3, Features if any (usually presented on 12 and 13); Egypt, Heartland and Central, then Op-Ed (a little out of order.) We are also featuring e-Edition X-tras, since we overwrote for this one. Each article is laid out here by dateline (the location where the material in each article took place), headline (with link directly to the e-Edition article) and a brief synopsis in our own patented snarky Disclosure style. And so now, without further ado, here are THIS ISSUE'S PRINT HEADLINES!
FRONT PAGE
CLAY/GALLATIN COs. - BANK WOES CONTINUE: What does a whole handful of people in Clay County have ANYTHING to do with a bank from way down south, in particular, Gallatin County (Shawneetown) and Pulaski County (Karnak)? That's what WE were asking ourselves when we came across this file at the Clay County courthouse in Louisville. And then at about the same time, we obtained info from the FDIC about the "troubled" bank, Grand Rivers Community Bank specifically in Shawneetown, and there was tangent number two. That bumped over to the guy who was unceremoniously removed from said bank in S'town, Lil Bill Bonan and his blatant infidelity as illustrated by a recent photo shoot. That bumped over to the guy who's supposedly only in office for a two-year term (we've not figured that out yet), former Harrisburg mayor Dale Fowler...which technically leads to the page 3 article, but we'll stop here. Whew. These public people and their doings...
The only effective way to get rid of bedbugs is illustrated here. That's a high-heat generator. Blowing heat into a house. Yep. No pesticides will do it.
HARDIN CO. - Bedbugs infest Hardin County: We've already had people griping about this article. But I'm telling you...why would you put up with PESTS like this?? I mean, we know that DCFS and other state agencies consider lice and bedbugs as "nuisances." They're just not a "health threat." Or are they...? Read this, as well as this from Lawrence County, to edify yourself. Then maybe take action. What action...? If I have to tell you, you've not read enough of our paper. Get an online subscription and get to reading.
RICHLAND CO. - Battery on high school grounds alleged in civil suit: Parents of students at Richland County High School (at right) want to think their kids are safe while they're at school. A new lawsuit filed at Richland County civil court indicates that might not be the case. This is a somewhat startling story; if your kids go there, ask them about what happened a year ago, right on the school grounds.
Bradley Maier
RICHLAND/WHITE COs. - Sheriff's brother catches meth charge: There's just this ongoing connection between White County and Richland County, even though a couple of counties separate them. We've been noting this for years; still no explanation for it. But here's another case...and it unfortunately involves the White County Sheriff's brother.
BACK PAGE
Bill Milner
MARION CO. - Frivolous charge over Facebook post nelle pros'd by new prosecutor: Well, who'd a-thunk it...Bill Milner is our new hero, undoing the inexplicable charge against Shirlena Barnes in Centralia after she's lost her job of 20 years and has gone through all kinds of grief, thanks to the equally-inexplicable former prosecutor Matt Wilzbach. Wilzbach has done a lot of weird things in his time in office, and we've chronicled a few...but this one is just out there.
The millennials in question
CLAY CO. - Convicted in Clay weapons case: Wayne County kid sparks mess with Facebook pic: This situation has gone from ridiculous to legendary. And it, to us and to many who know those involved, is little but a symptom of the entitlement mentality many people believe area subsidy farmers - and their millennial offspring - suffer from. Whatever the case...dude's a felon now. Check out this article to understand.
PAGE 2
WABASH CO. - Defining irony: Farmers sue GMO company that government forces them to use corn from, over China's refusal to buy GMO corn: And speaking of subsidy farmers...this one is just a jaw-dropper. The sheer irony can be found in the fact that planting season is just a few months away. Let's see if there's a protest-non-plant.
PAGE 3
Eric Gregg
SALINE CO. - Former mayor's job suspended in appeals court: Eric Gregg. If he's good for nothing else on this planet, he's certainly good for sales...because in his hubris, he continues to jump the gun regarding his many lawsuits.
SALINE CO. - 'Burg woman busted for boosting colic drops: If you're a crim who's going to make our pages, what a more ignominious way to do it than colic drops. I mean...COLIC DROPS. I think we should all be grateful that she was at least trying to get her baby some relief as opposed to SOME in the area, who just turn violent toward their kids...
GALLATIN CO. - Felony DUI charged in wake of ATV trip through town: Apparently this is a thing in Shawneetown. When we're over there, we see it a lot. The ATVs, not the DUIs. Although I'm sure they are quite interchangeable.
EGYPT
Joe "my poop is odorless" DeBose
SALINE CO. - Political operative posts bond for man who falls off his motorcycle: The re-emergence of Joe DeBose, who might've been a standout while he was in school at SIU-C...but then again, that's a libtard school, and he's a conservative, supposedly, so what would THEY know.
GALLATIN CO. - Morganfield, Ky., man charged with child sexual assault: No word back yet on whether dude has a record in Morganfield, or whether he just up and decided allegedly to come to GallCo and commit such a crime.
Xzavier B. Gibbs
SALINE CO. - Two from 'Kiddy Prison' charged with violence: Here's another familiar face and name...the badly-spelled Xzavier Gibbs is back in the headlines.
HARDIN CO. - DUI drivers nabbed on Karber's Ridge and Eichorn Roads: The Hardin County DUI report...which is infinitely more interesting now that Tarable Wallace is out of office.
SALINE CO. - Hardin County suspected cannabis grower busted in Harrisburg: People probably just need to leave the growing to the state-sanctioned until it's decriminalized completely.
SALINE CO. - Nabbed in Discount Food Mart parking lot: Even our vendors get some of the criminal element coming around.
SALINE CO. - Traffic stop nets diabetic with no insulin and a forgetful meth convict: The damage drugs do to the brain is outlined in this article.
GALLATIN CO. - Ridgway man charged with destroying toilet, cabinets and doors, etc.: The damage-against-property report out of GallCo.
HARDIN CO. - E-town doper popped with pills: The Hardin County dope report.
SALINE CO. - Violent Harrisburg thief now facing drunk driving charge: And maybe, just maybe, this will be the thing that gets him taken out of society for a while.
HARDIN CO. - Rosiclare convicted burglar accused of strangling 60-year-old woman: Right up there with crimes against children is crimes against elderly, in our book...both unforgivable.
Duston Michael Hearn
X-TRA: SALINE CO - Forger who owes $10K+ charged with escape: The first of our overwriting offers, exclusively for e-Edition readers.
X-TRA: HARDIN CO. - Daughenbaugh accused of battering family member: And now, he doesn't have Tarable Wallace to bungle the case and let him go.
X-TRA: GALLATIN CO. - Equality man charged with driving revoked: Which we don't ordinarily cover unless it's also combined with some other stuff...and he's charged with other stuff.
Katie Dawn English
SALINE CO. - Suspected Hardin County drug dealer and E-town woman charged in Saline: You'd think that with all the doping going on in Hardin County, they wouldn't need to cross into Saline County.
X-TRA: HARDIN CO. - Man charged with stealing stove then selling it: Only in E-town...
HARDIN CO. - Mother accused of letting 22-month-old play in street: And she went all the way down to Hardin from Harrisburg to do it...allegedly, of course.
HARDIN CO. - Rosiclare child sex offender charged with handing out candy: With all those Halloween warnings Lisa Madigan sends out every year, it appears everyone pays attention to them except the registered sex offenders. Allegedly, of course.
Michael G. Harrelson
SALINE CO. - Meth-making Carrier Mills man jailed on possession charge: Because what's an issue of Disclosure without featuring a story out of the Mills?
PAGE 12
Tabitha D. Carwile
Shane Babbs
RICHLAND CO. - Drug dealers charged after escape attempt: The run-down of the extremely ignorant alleged antics of two well-known area dopers, who got four counties involved on a cold, rainy Sunday in their latest foray.
WABASH CO. - Mt. Carmel drug felon runs from police: The Mt. Carmel foolish crim report, evidently.
PAGE 13
Glenn Ramey's boys
RICHLAND/MASSAC COs. - Glenn Ramey's impact on his own children will be carried with them for life: A one-on-one interview with two of Glenn Ramey's early victims - his two boys. This is an interesting exclusive and was touched upon in the December 2016 issue...if you are wanting to know the REAL story behind the man accused in the rape and murder of 8-year-old Sabrina Stauffenberg, you're going to want to follow everything we're learning about it, so if you read nothing else in this issue, don't miss this article.
HEARTLAND
Travis D. Nordyke
RICHLAND CO. - $10,000 cash bond set for Effingham County drug dealer busted in Richland County: This crossover was so crossover, we opted to put it in Heartland as opposed to Central. That's him, shown above. You're welcome.
CRAWFORD CO. - Suspected Lawrenceville drug dealer may lose Jaguar: Everybody, say it with me now: "Awwwwwwww."
Kathryn Louis Weaver
CRAWFORD CO. - Palestine gal jailed for beating boyfriend, breaking his phone: At least she didn't break HIM. Or maybe she did, emotionally. Who knows.
JASPER CO. - Newton convicted felon accused of thieving booze from local Circle K: He has a rising criminal career going on...
Bryan A. Baker
CRAWFORD CO. - Violence report includes Robinson man who reportedly attacked police cruiser with shovel: And his hairstyle might be to blame. I mean really. Look at it. 1980 is OVER, dude.
Carl E. Fisher
X-TRA: JASPER CO. - Robinson man adds lying to ID theft charge: What do you expect from someone whose inclination is to thieve?
X-TRA: CRAWFORD CO. - Doper on probation facing felony meth count: Part of the dope report for Crawford Co...and another Goff shows up on a court report.
CRAWFORD CO. - Suspected drug dealer busted with weed, cops want his cash: Of course they do. That's why they're still busting people for weed.
JASPER CO. - Willow Hill man busted driving with opium: Oh? Opium? Who says droogs are expensive.
CENTRAL
Samantha Cessna
Kathi (aka Sue) Cessna
Mary Ann Cessna
WABASH CO. - Lawrence County Cessna drug legacy surfaces again in Wabash County: There are crime families, and then there are crim families. This would be the latter. (We left one out, out of deference to those still grieving.)
HAMILTON CO. - McLeansboro crim caught hiding in a wall: Sure. Why not. If you have a wall to hide in, give it a try, at least.
CLAY/JASPER COs. - Clay City man facing child abuse charges in two counties: This crossover even made the police report earlier in December.
STEVEN P. LOCKHART
LAWRENCE CO. - Felony dismissed against man accused of terrorizing family this past summer: The ongoing saga of Steve Lockhart, who's been something of a fixture in our pages for about ten years. Maybe Michael Strange can do something with him. Three other prosecutors haven't been able to.
WHITE CO. - Crossville crash with injury lands one behind bars: A little alliteration. Just a little. Don't want to be like those obnoxious TV commercials, all that alliteration and rhyming and stuff.
WABASH CO. - Pair busted for cruising without license: Always fun to cruise together. Just...be sure you can legally drive.
CLAY CO. - Iola man charged with violating OP then knocking ex to the floor: Those people who say "Oh, that OP, it's just a piece of paper" are the ones you have to watch out for.
HAMILTON CO. - Bogus bills passed at Huck's: Those dastardly counterfeiters. We were told years ago by a federal person that the feds are only concerned with larger denominations, $20 and up. So pro tip to counterfeiters: Do tens and below.
Traci Earp, alleged hatchet-weilder
RICHLAND CO. - Hatchet attack on Robinson woman lands Noble woman behind bars: Have I mentioned that we have a lot of crossover this issue...?
EDWARDS CO. - Villa Grove man charged in Albion: He come all the way down from central Illinois to get into badness...? Couldn't he find some up at his own stomping grounds?
WABASH CO. - Hoosier intruder lands behind bars: The WabCo crim report, crimes against persons.
WABASH CO. - Elderly drunk driver busted with meth: See? Alcohol IS a gateway drug. In some people, it just takes longer.
CLAY CO. - Druggie busted at John Boy's Saloon: See? Alcohol IS a gateway drug. LOL
Randy Lee Reynolds
LAWRENCE CO. - Bridgeport man may remain single after beating fiancé: I couldn't help it with the headline. I had to.
LAWRENCE CO. - The civil suits just won't go away: Thacker foreclosure filed: We knew it was coming. We just didn't know who the financing entity was.
CLAY CO. - Clay City woman facing meth felony: Clay County drug report.
Bryan Bishop Conner

WHITE CO. - Tequila Sheila's dust-up lands woman behind bars: What's a paper without a good bar fight?
X-TRA: LAWRENCE CO. - Violent Sumner man facing felony for driving suspended: If you can't get em when they're violent, get em for a driving infraction.

WABASH CO. - $10K cash bond set in case of Cali man in suspected vehicle theft ring: Say it with me now: Dude, you came all the way from California to allegedly get involved in a car theft ring...? I swear people watch too many movies...
CLAY CO. - Flora man strangles, threatens to kill elderly woman, police say: I reiterate what I said earlier about people who (allegedly) commit crimes against the defenseless.
WABASH CO.- Drug flow back and forth from Indiana appears alive and well: It does, frequently. It has for years. I'm totally surprised there isn't more federal action here.
LAWRENCE CO. - Former mayor gets DUI; probation on meth conviction in jeopardy: Brian Straub better lay off the sauce and get his life together.
