Stacy Masters, 2007

Dr. Trinity Dalton was called to the home of Cameron and Stacy Masters this morning to assist Mrs. Masters to the hospital.  "My wife complained of cramping around 1 a.m."  Cameron stated.  "I could see she was in a lot of pain, that's when I called Dr. Dalton."  She was placed on immediate bedrest and monitored at SH Medical Center.

"Stacy had tremendous difficulty with her last pregnancy, so I knew that this one would be touch and go, and I informed her of that early on.  I think she did her best to take care of herself, and this simply could not be prevented."  Dr. Dalton stated.  The baby would have been born in June.

Stacy is recuperating at home and requests that everyone please respect her privacy during this difficult time.

Burglar Nabbed on Cedar Street!
March 2008 - Round 2008

by Viv Everett, Journalist

Responding to alarms on the quiet suburb street around 3 a.m., Police were able to apprehend a burglar trying to gain entry into a house at 88 E. Cedar early Monday morning. The suspect has been identified as Russ Bear.

"I heard a car and house alarm going off. It woke me up out of my sleep. I thought it was my house." neighbor, Nick Michels, told reporters.

Officer Demi Love

Officer Demi Love was the first to arrive on the scene and captured the suspect before he could steal anything.

"When I arrived, the suspect was breaking into the front door, but I seized him inside the foyer. He never stepped foot into the main living area. The family was sleeping and did not hear the disturbance until after I had the suspect in handcuffs. Nothing was taken from the home." Officer Love recounted.

"I'm so glad this whole thing was resolved and no one in my family was hurt.  This man was dangerous.  It really pays to get your car and house alarmed, if you can afford it, because you can never be too comfortable; not even in the suburbs.  It's a shame that some Sims feel they need to resort to crime. " Keith Dalton stated. The Daltons have lived in this home for over nine simyears and have never had a break-in. 

Lt. Tomika Cunningham praised Ofc. Love for her arrest. "We train our officers to respond quickly and aggressively. This young woman has shown bravery and represents the SHPD with pride. I'm very happy that she was there."

The suspect, Russ Bear, was taken downtown instead of to Willow County Jail.  He is currently on suicide watch.

The Dalton family received $500 for damages to their front door.

Simmerville

Missing Woman

by Bel S. Frocks, Simmerville

The woman missing is Cheri O'Brian (32). She resides at 1 Hunter Road of Simmerville, and she works as the manager of local traditional jam club, Lake Ellie's at 2 Old Simmer Lane. She is tall, fit, brown hair, brown eyes. She was most likely wearing something pink because pink that is her favourite colour.

She owns her home, and her twin brother Arnie O'Brian resides there also but is on the edge to move out. They also keep a dog, which belonged to their mother. Cheri's grandmother was the legendary Bimbo NL, making Cheri the 3rd generation in Simmerville. Her older sister lives close. None of the siblings have heard from her since 2 days ago, according to her brother Arnie who contacted the police earlier today. The last he saw of her sister was that she completed a vase on her pottery wheel, then he heard she left in order to take a walk. She did not bring their dog, which might cause to speculations whether she might have had plans.  

Cheri O'Brian was single and although being very social she had few friends besides the regular guests she met at her work.

If you saw Cheri O'Brian the past couple days, do contact the police. This article will be updated as the case evolves.

Class of 2008 Senior Prom

Cancelled
Feb. 2008 - Round 2006
by Marisa Bendett, Columnist

Maxine Wise, Education Director, has decided that the Senior Class of 2008 is too small to host a Senior Prom this simyear.  It would have been the first Prom for CPS Junior/Senior High held this May 2008.

"I was really looking forward to the Prom for the kids.  We had the venue rented with a refundable deposit down and I'm grateful it's still early enough to get our simoleans back...but being that our Valedictorian is now away in college and the lack of RSVPs received from the families, there's just not enough student participation to validate spending money on this event.  I think we only had two students to RSVP, the rest of them cancelled.  It's just not enough."  Maxine stated in a phone interview this morning.

There's always next simyear. 

New Year's Day Shocker!

Architect Struck by Lightning

Jan. 2008 - Round 2006

By Viv Everett, Journalist

Residential Architect, Lars Larsson, was struck by lightning tonight as he was leaving Willow Co. Public Library.  Lt. Tomika Cunningham was there and said that she believes Mr. Larsson was just finishing a date when a cab pulled up to take him home.  "The lightning appeared to come out of nowhere and strike him." Mrs. Cunningham stated.  She called 011 for an ambulance.

Dr. Trinity Dalton from SH Medical Center stated, "Although he had lost his bodily functions and was pretty singed up, he was definitely responsive when the medics arrived.  It looks like he's suffered some minor burns, though.  We're going to monitor him overnight.  If all goes well, he should be well enough to go home tomorrow. You never know when accidents are going to happen, that's why it's important to pay your health insurance.  Mr. Larsson is insured."
