An OVI checkpoint is scheduled for tonight, starting at 8 pm on State Route 235 in New Carlisle.
The specific location has not been revealed, but speculation is that the checkpoint will occur at the former Wot-A-Dog building, which is closed for the year as it awaits sale. The location, a drive-in style restaurant, provides ample parking, a staging area for inspections into anyone found to be in violation of any laws, and on-site administration inside the kitchen/office.
The latest trend to hit the city that has made many NC residents rich beyond their wildest dreams is scrapping. Scrapping involves digging through other residents’ trash or yard for anything metal, then taking it to a recycling center where they pay you tens of dollars per truck load.
A good haul can bring in as much as $17.
Jim Longtape, of Galewood, says he has a set of rules for his scrapping enterprise, “Sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s trash or someone’s actual furniture so I use the rule that if it’s not inside a house it’s definitely trash.” When Jim travels about town he is is always on the lookout for what could be his next five-dollar piece of scrap. “Gutter work is the hardest to get. Since its technically outside I consider it trash, but sometimes it’s screwed to the house and that can be a real bitch to rip off.” Jim claims to have made over $380 this year.
A male flasher is at large in the New Carlisle area, according to several reports and eyewitness accounts.
Every report of flashing has included similar details: a man will walk or run up to unsuspecting citizens, usually in public places, and rip open his button-down shirt to expose his breasts to them. In each case the man was reported to scream “bologna milks” while grabbing his breasts and shaking them vigorously.
If you blinked then you would have missed it.
Reports are streaming in of a school bus
that was clocked at speeds in excess of 90 mph on Lake Ave Tuesday morning. If the reports are accurate, the bus was carrying over 200 students with many sitting on the floor.
“I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t clock the speed with my own eyes.”, said Russell Thief of Flora Dr. “That bus was moving like a bat out of hell, only this bat consumed an entire tank of NOS.”

The Miami-Valley Fanciful Feline Award-nominee “JoJo” is best known for her elegant struts in front of the on-coming Edgebrook Dr. traffic, her frequent visits to the Security National Bank drive-thru window where she is bestowed with various treats, and possibly one or two late night ruckus romps through multiple Cambridge Court trash cans during the summer of 2009 when she was still a young kitty.
