What big city paper will feature your kids in a ‘skater of the week’ blurb? Does the LFP publish lawn bowling results? A picture of the new fire truck? Does the Toronto Star offer a weekly history tale (thanks David Yates).

Then there’s the goofy stuff. I recall from the Wiarton Echo: “Overheard over a shared plate of fries: Diner one - Man, that’s a big French Fry. Diner two: Yes. It must have come from a really big potato.”

How about the Eagle Valley News police report out of Sicamous, BC. Tidbit 1. Black car with Montana plates see following too close. Number 2. Report of missing parent, later found at a friend’s place.
