Police cited an Ohio man for harassment after an ugly
prank involving his sister.

Glenn Connolly, called state police in Mercer and
asked them to advise his sister, that their mother had
died.

Troopers did just that, only to find out afterward
that the woman hadn't died.

Because police filed only a citation, the man faces no
more than a $300 fine and 90 days in jail if he's
convicted. After he was held with his arms behind his
back so his sister could repeatedly kick him hard in
the nuts.

Nicholas Cerino was watching"America's Most Wanted"
with his brother Mark, when the show announced that
the brother sitting next to him was the fugitive
profiled on the show.

Mark was identified on the show as a contractor wanted
in Florida for allegedly scamming elderly residents
after last year's hurricanes.

Mark was arrested within hours of the Saturday night
broadcast.

"America's Most Wanted" officials won't reveal the
reward, or whether Nicholas turned in his brother
because the tipsters are anonymous, but a spokesman
for the Fox TV show said Nicholas wouldn't be able to
comment due to his world tour and nightly stripper
parties.

A Manitoba jail has stopped serving tea because some
inmates were using tea bags to make cigarettes.

Smoking has been banned at the Headingley Correctional
Centre near Winnipeg since November 2003, but that
hasn't stopped some inmates from finding creative ways
to get their fix. All they need is a dried-out tea bag
and some nicotine chewing gum.

The Correctional Centre has also banned Tea-Bagging in
the showers.

Subject: Another Watts Valley Wolf Ape thing.

Hey Jerry!

I've been a long time listener of the show but sadly
haven't been able to listen as much anymore. I caught
the show where you read the letter from the listener
about the Watts Valley Wolf Ape and became a bit
obsessed with it. A few days later as I was driving I
caught yet another wolf ape story, drowning me in the
obsession.

Sitting at my mother-in-law's house tonight it just
popped into my head again and out of curiosity I asked
her if she had ever heard of it. I was surprised to
hear her say "Oh sure!" and begged her to tell me what
she knew. I thought I'd share with you the view that I
got from her.

She said that it was quite a popular urban legend in
high school. That kids would go out to try to see it,
but the story they were told by adults was that in the
60's there was a scientist guy who lived just north of
Watts Valley and he had a variety of animals. As he
got older he started to adopt the animals out and died
before he could finish. Apparently he had a gorilla. A
gorilla that had a sort of mutation/growth stunt thing
going on. The gorilla midget made it's home in Watts
Valley and adapted to live in the area. And since they
have long life spans, it's very possible for it to
still be roaming the area.

I thought it kind of made sense because from the
descriptions I heard, it had hands and a face like a
human. Which are characteristics of gorillas too. I
plan on asking my grandfather, he's in his 90's and is
a full blooded Native American from this area. I'm
hoping he has a story too!

If possible I'd love to see the pictures you and Brad
have gotten. I know... curiosity killed the cat, but
satisfaction brought it back!

Keep on rocking and glad to have you in the Front Row
family!

Donald Trump sure knows how to pick a winner. Tthe
fourth season of The Apprentice, a contestant is a
"tough as nails" ex-stripper. Alla Wartenberg focuses
on her self-made millions but fails to mention her
pole-dancing past, she danced at Las Vegas' Palomino
Club under the name Ecstasy and was involved with
convicted murderer Robert Acremant, a client of hers
who apparently considered her his girlfriend.

Acremant would reportedly shell out between $500 and
$1,500 for a night in the company of Alla/Ecstasy (or
"X," as her friends called her) and eventually
developed something of a cash flow problem.

Low on funds, but desperate to continue seeing his
scantily-clad lady friend, Acremant attempted to rob a
pair of Oregon women in 1995 but ended up killing them
in a heist-gone-wrong.

Later that year, he also murdered Scott George, a
friend from California, in a second robbery attempt.
He was convicted of all three murders and was
sentenced to death in both California and Oregon,
where he is currently on Death Row.

As a result of her association, Wartenberg was called
upon to testify at his trial in Tulare County Superior
Court in August 2002, where she explained that she had
simply "used him for money."

"I liked him as a client," Wartenburg said, according
to the court transcript. "I thought he was really
nice."

A former painter on David Letterman's Montana ranch
who faced charges of scheming to kidnap the talk-show
host's son and nanny has been sentenced to 10 years
behind bars on lesser charges.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who played Howard Hughes in Martin
Scorsese's "The Aviator," is ready to charge up San
Juan hill as Teddy Roosevelt in, "The Rise of Theodore
Roosevelt."

The biography focuses on Roosevelt's youth and his
personal journey from frail child of privilege to
Spanish-American War hero as commander of the Rough
Riders cavalry regiment, which set the stage for his
celebrated political career.

As U.S. vice president under William McKinley,
Roosevelt became the youngest man ever to assume the
presidency after McKinley's assassination in 1901.

His life at 25, begins to transform himself through
sheer force of will from this asthmatic, near-sighted
125-pounder to this Sherman tank of a man so tough
that he once got shot on the way to make a speech and
completed his talk, bleeding with a bullet in his
chest.

After the failure of his Zoetrope movie studio, a
bankrupt Francis Ford Coppola found himself at "the
beginning of a very continuing low period."

He had to pay off creditors, so the job Coppola took
in early 1982, was "The Outsiders," and it came to him
through the mail.

A librarian at the Lone Star Junior High School in
Fresno, California, wrote him:

"We are all so impressed with the book, 'The
Outsiders' by S.E. Hinton, that a petition has been
circulated asking that it be made into a movie. We
have chosen you to send it to. In hopes that you might
also see the possibilities of a movie, we have
enclosed a copy of the book."

"It was signed by like 110 little signatures," he
recalled. "Who can ignore that?"

He didn't. And on September 20 he's putting out a
two-disc DVD with a version 22 minutes longer.
