LIGHTNING SPARKS INTENSE APARTMENT FIRE IN GAYLORD
A lightning strike is being blamed for an intense fire in Gaylord.
Firefighters are still on the scene this morning where an apartment
building is now destroyed. The Alpine Haus complex caught fire last night
and the flames spread fast. The roof caved in as fire tore through the
complex. Firefighters say three of four wings of the apartment complex
are destroyed. It was a difficult fire for nine departments to fight,
between the size of it and the wind. Everyone managed to make it out of
safely. Firefighters will be on the scene until later today.
FOUR WORKERS REMAIN IN HOSPITAL AFTER LIGHTNING STRIKE
A lightning strike is also the reason four electrical workers are still in
the hospital this morning, and why their job site is now closed in Mecosta
County. The workers from J. Ranck Electrical Company were working on an
underground project at Ferris State University in Big Rapids Wednesday
morning. When it started to rain, the men tried to take cover, but not
before lightning hit a tree near the site. Two are in stable condition at
Mecosta Medical Center, while the other two were taken to Grand Rapids.
The site will remain closed until MIOSHA says it's safe to continue
working.

COPS & DOUGHNUTS GAINING INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION
"Cops and doughnuts" isn't just a punchline anymore. Now, the Clare
bakery is gaining attention beyond northern Michigan, it's gone
international. Tuesday, the nine City of Clare police officers who bought
the bakery last month celebrated its official grand opening. The officers
bought the 113 year-old bakery because they didn't want another empty
storefront in their town. Playing on the stereotype landed the officers
in news stories across the globe and brought worldwide attention. Local
businesses say the shop has caused foot traffic to go up and they're
getting many more tourists in the past few weeks.

Grandfather Disrespected In Own Home
July 22, 2009 | Issue 45•30
AKRON, OH—Though he is wise, benevolent, and the eldest male member of his family, grandfather Jerry Morgenthau, 74, was shown a degree of filial piety more fitting a dog or pig Tuesday when younger relatives disrespected him in his own home.
Reports indicate the retired steelworker and patriarch—who, unlike his insolent offspring, has cultivated great virtue in his time upon this earth—was ignored and patronized by his son's family throughout their brief visit.
Morgenthau's own firstborn child displayed unforgivable disobedience by smiling and nodding while dismissing his father's expert counsel on matters ranging from home maintenance to the best methods for attaining low-cost airfare to Florida.
"Okay, Dad," said Derek Morgenthau, who should be harshly chided for failing to glorify his ancestors.
In addition, Morgenthau's granddaughters, who owe him their very lives, blatantly lied to him while claiming they would "definitely" follow his advice and choose a college closer to home, as if they possessed one tenth—even one one-thousandth—the wisdom of this noble sage.

Hello, friends! What's new? Last night I watched the ball game and had a few drinks at a local bar. Nothing too out of the ordinary for me. Boy, what a day today, though—so slow! Might be nice to chat for a while, as friends, and just casually share some gossip, right? After all, I've been living here with you, blending in for, what, three years now? I'd say we've gained each other's trust. So, buddy, got anything on your mind? Any juicy, top-secret information you're dying to tell me?
I'm a really good listener.

Dairy Cattle Slaughtered During Record Surplus
In light of a glut of milk, the National Milk Producers Federation is paying dairies to slaughter 103,000 cows. What do you think?
Jane Adams,
Caring House Wife
"This seems like a waste. Why not order us American citizens to drink more milk?"
James Smith,
Factory Laborer
"Though the circumstances are unfortunate, the cows must martyr themselves to preserve the honor of the National Milk Producers Federation. And the errant farmers should be sent to the desert for reeducation."
Bill Jones,
Systems Analyst
"I can understand the milk producers' rage at the cows for overproducing this whitish mucus that causes acute stomach distress and spoils easily
