opened the deer, she ran in front of me
and i closed the door real fast.

thought was the whole room was
collapsing, everyone said it's a deer,
it's a deer!
The deer was tranquilized. Turns out it
had been hit by a car and this was
actually the second window it broke.
The game warden tells us deer don't see
a window, all they see is an escape

A month away from receiving his diploma
from Cave Spring High School, McGhee's
disciplinary history caught up with
him.
McGhee has been expelled before. When
he was a freshman at Hidden Valley, he
got in trouble for writing some
threatening e-mails. He was taken out
of the Cave Spring AREA for a while
before he was allowed to transfer to
Cave Spring High School.
McGhee had no comment last night... no
reaction to the School Board's decision
in this case.
However, this profile on "Myspace.com"
comes up under the name Sean McGhee.
School Board Chairman Mike Stovall's
picture serves as wallpaper. The word:
"XXPELLED" appears in capital letters

A member of the School Board said the
"expulsion would be suspended pending
the NEGOTIATION of a contract." But
one member of the board said today that
the contract was negotiated last night
and it says: "here's what you're going
to do" to avoid expulsion.

For two days FBI agents have been
digging for the remains of the
teamsters leader who vanished back in
1975.
Dan Roberts: FBI
"this is the best lead i've seen on the
Hoffa case since i've been in
charge"
Hoffa was last seen at this restaurant
20 miles away. He was to meet
reputed mobsters Anthony Giacalone and
Tony Provenzano about regaining
his power in the union. After his
disappearance there were all sorts of
wild stories about where the union boss
was buried----
(LOCATOR: EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ)
including the end zone at Giants
stadium in the New Jersey
Meadowlands placed there when they were
laying the cement foundation.
Agents have long suspected this farm
could be Hoffa's final resting
place.
(STANDUP: DREW LEVINSON/MILFORD
TOWNSHIP, MI)
However, they've never had concrete
evidence.
Now information collected years ago has
recently been verified and
that's why they're back here.
Agents say they'll probably have to
remove a barn to complete the search.
The information reveals on the day
Hoffa disappeared a backhoe was seen
near the barn where mob members
gathered. After that, they never met
there again. Adding to the intrigue,
a dying hitman claimed two months
ago that Hoffa WAS buried in Michigan.
Has the mystery finally been solved?

In order to keep those fans

of things, this includes trying to jump
just about anything on fours wheels in

This leads up to the racing that
gives fans something different than the
short tracks here in our area.
