3 Volume 1, Issue 4 Page 3 FBI Investigates Local Veteran in Superbowl Prank Cary, NC David Watts was arrested this morning as part of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, prompted by the National Football League pursuant to increased security measures in American athletic events. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued a stern warning last week that anyone who tries to disrupt the Superbowl activities this year will face severe punishment. Watts must not have seen these warnings, or just chose to completely ignore them. A post on the Cary, NC Craigslist events section entitled 'Superbowl Streaking!! Join Me!' surfaced last week, the description which called for members of the general public to join in on the "WORLDS BIGGEST streak ever." The post, quickly traced back to Watts's home computer, also details how Watts has already purchased a Superbowl admission ticket as well as airfare for the event. "Sure enough, a quick investigation produced those documents," says FBI Lead Investigator Don Brunnel. Certain evidence was uncovered during a search of Watts's home, including a trench coat, airline confirmation receipt, and a single superbowl ticket purchased on StubHub. It is not clear at this point that the NFL is pressing charges, but the government's involvement suggests that some punishment is certain for Watts. Member of Cary Men s Auxiliary to VFW Wins Golf Tournament Pinehurst, NC Thomas "T.K" King shock and awed crowds at Pinehurst, NC Golf Course by posting a course record setting 59 to beat the number 1 Tiger Woods, number 2 Phil Michelson, and number 3 Steve Stricker, along with Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, and Camilo Villegas. Many other professional golfers also attended the game. Thomas "T.K" King chipped in for an eagle to start off the day at two under. Then he delivered back to back birdies on holes two, three, and four. He continued to play well for the rest of the day, to post a course record breaking 59. This all happened on a Monday morning non-media notified event with only a select few of the world's best golfers on the field. Thomas "T.K" King was unavailable for interviews, but all we can say is that Thomas "T.K" King is soon to be a name to look out for in the world of golf to come. His grace, tempo, and follow-through reveals confidence in his swing. When asked before teeing off what he could improve upon in his swing, his only response was "keeping the ball in play." Modest words from a powerful new force. Mr. King is also a Member of the Cary VFW Men s Auxiliary. Post T-Shirts are still for sale for $10. Shirts are available at the Canteen!! It is not clear at this point that the NFL is pressing charges, but the government's involvement suggests that some punishment is certain for Watts Co-Dictator Lopez Page 2

5 Page 5 Kerri Zinkievich Loves Cats So Much, Adopts 30 Cats Raleigh, NC A local hero came out of the crowd today at the Humane Animal Shelter Society of Raleigh, NC, where local resident, and Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW President, Kerri Zinkievich adopted 30 cats of various breeds and ages during a charity event. Adopting the cats was absolutely free, but taking care of the cats will be a major endeavor. A local bystander claims that Zinkievich could not decide on which cat to take home, and eventually decided to just take them all. When asked what Zinkievich planned to do with the feline friends, Kerri replied "they are going to help me with my rat problem!" Our news team followed Zinkievich to a nearby pet store where Zinkievich bought "at least one thousand pounds of dry food and five hundred pounds of wet food," said Zinkievich. Kerri, who admits to spending most of the day on Facebook, added "I am so happy to have all of these new friends. I've already got all of their names picked out." Anyone interested in adopting one of these friendly felines can contact Kerry on her Personal Cell phone at Richard Lopez sued for illegally downloading movies and music Raleigh, NC Richard Lopez has been served with a complaint alleging that Lopez illegally downloaded over 800 Gigabytes (GB) of movies and music. A media correspondent told us that "over 90%" of the material recovered was protected by copyright. There is more to be uncovered. We learned in May that Lopez is a sex addict, attending counseling on a weekly basis. The Media Industry Law Foundation (MILF) thinks group therapy may not be enough for the alleged file-sharer, and recommends jail time or at least probation.
