On May 20 at 3:15 p.m. on the eastside of Lagerville, down near the trailer park, three male juveniles had been seen on several occasions stealing parts from abandoned cars, which had been parked at the rear of a resident's property. Although they had been chased away several times, they continued. A deputy, brought to the area where the juveniles lived, observed two of the males carrying seat cushions that were taken from the resident's property. When contacted, they gave a written statement before being taken to their homes where they were released to their parents pending possible charges of theft at the Juvenile Court.

A 32-year-old woman reported that her vehicle was stolen. The vehicle was idling as she went back into the house to wait for the vehicle to warm up from a cold night out in the elements. When she returned there was nothing but exhaust fumes where her purple vehicle once was. After surmising it was stolen, she started to call 911 on her cell phone but before she could even dial 9, she realized it was in the stolen vehicle. She was finally able to contact the police through the use of the phone that had been installed inside the house quite some time ago. Once police arrived and she explained how the vehicle was stolen, she was immediately advised that it was entirely her fault the vehicle was stolen and then arrested and booked on charges of 1st Degree Car Idling.
The surprised woman was bitter over the entire ordeal, but the officer just said that she could complain all she wanted in the county jail.
Caller reported a man walking down Highway 14 barefooted. Sheriff responded, but no suspect located.
Caller reported that minors were seen drinking at the end of BeaverSlide road, a known teen party area. Deputy responded and when teens were confronted they said that they had not been drinking and were just scouting for deer sign for next fall's deer hunting season.
Police responded to a burglar alarm at the Lagerville Hardware Store on main street. Reports said the officer had to climb the store's back fence to check the area. He found unlocked windows, but nothing missing.

Driving Under
Young man hauled into court today because his headlight was out on the vehicle he was trying to drive. The young man told the judge that the police officer instructed him where to go buy a headlight. He did just that, but it did not seem to help, as he "could not hardly see no matter how many lights" he had on, due to his current intoxicated state, which limited the effectiveness of two headlights.
The Judge dismissed the case.

Van Fire
A Lagerville man accidentally set his 1972 van on fire Friday. Police reports said he was driving to the laundramat to pick up his girlfriend, when he accidentally started some papers on fire with a match. Reports said he thought he had put the fire out before he got out of the van and went inside, but 10 minutes later his girlfriend noticed an orange glow coming from his van. Lagerville Fire Department put out the fire and the man had the van towed to his house.
Vandalism
A 16-year-old boy became so enraged from lack of sleep Tuesday that he stabbed his bedroom door with a kitchen knife. He told County sheriff's deputy that he got up early to go to school and came home exhausted. He was asleep when his mother told him to get out of bed around 11:30am and not lay around all day. He said he became angry and started yelling at her, picking up a knife and stabbing it into a door. He said he never assaulted or touched his mother at their home on Lagerville Way. Police said another door in the hallway also was damaged. The boy's mother said she didn't want to file criminal charges and didn't want the boy arrested.

Local Man Catches Catch of the Month
(OLM WireServices – 01/18/2010)
Over the weekend Chris G. Willikers went fishing again and true to his word brought along ol’ Tripod on his quest to hook the Catch of the Month. However, bringing along Dave “Tripod” Woods, may have backfired in a big way.
Tripod ( who says they started calling him Tripod back in high school) commenced to catch, not a whitefish, but a splendid rainbow trout. The trout was large and worthy of a photo. As fate would have it, Willikers was the the only one with a camera, so he snapped a photo of Tripod holding his trout. Not only did he take the photo, but he took it at what some judge to be the perfect distance for a picture of a man holding his trout.
In addition, Tripod submitted the photo to LAFF (Lagerville Anglers Fly Fishing Club) and took the honors for the January Catch of the Month. Willikers was much chagrined from this turn of events and vowed to keep fishing until he caught a Catch of the Month.
“There’s ‘leven more months left,” stated Willikers, fist clenched, "the sad part about all this is that I let Tripod hold m' rod jus' fer a second an' wouldn't ya know it, he hooked th' Catch of the Month!"

City Hall Gets New Gravel Grant
(OLM WireServices – 01/18/2010)
Mayor Porad Skinner was pleased to announce today that Lagerville has received a Gravel Grant from the county to put fresh gravel in the City Hall Parking lot.
Lud Morgan was available and used his pick-up to haul the gravel from the gravel pit north of town. A volunteer with a shovel emptied the gravel from his truck and spread it all over the old gravel.
Mayor Skinner seemed please to be able to stand on the new gravel and also to park his city issued Jetta on the ½” gray granite rock.
“This gravel is much more gravely than th’ previous gravel,” stated Mayor Skinner in a prepared speech, “ I feel that this gravel can only add to the future of parking and future parking in Lagerville! It just feels good. And it also covered up all the brodie tracks.”
“It just feels good,” said Mayor Porad Skinner of the fresh new gravel in front of City Hall.
“What th’ hell was wrong with th’ old gravel?!”cried LC Parker, who some suspect was the one that made the brodies in the parking lot.

Catch Of The Month Entry Too Close
(OLM WireServices 01/14/2010)
A recent entry into the LAFF (Lagerville Anglers Fly Fishing club) Catch of the Month contest was just too close to the camera. The sensational whitefish was caught by whitefish angler and Lagerville resident Chris G. Willikers on a recent outing to the Salmon River. Willikers journeyed down to the end of Painter Mine Road to catch this marvelous whitefish out of the Salmon. Using BWOs that “matched the hatch” and a little hunk of worm, Willikers was able to land dozens of spectacular whitefish, but the photo of his best catch of the day was just too close to be considered for the LAFF Catch of the Month.

“Ooh, gawd that is just too close,” grimaced LC Parker, a Catch of the Month Judge, as she turned away while being shown the Catch of the Month entry. “Nobody wants to see Willikers that close.”
“Gee,” said Willikers, “I extended my arm as far as it would go and it was still just too close. I have no one to blame but myself for having short arms. Next time I’ll probably bring along ol' Tripod.”
Another Catch of the Month Judge and founder of LAFF, Mayor Porad Skinner, said, “Yes, that is pretty darn close. Too close if ya ask me. If we let Willikers get away with this too close entry, then pretty soon people will be sending in entry photos that are even closer. That is not in the spirit intended by LAFF when we instituted LAFF's Catch of the Month.”
There are two more weeks left in the month, so Willikers has more time to try again for the LAFF Catch of the Month. Wish him luck!
