News and Notes: 3.2.11

Write a headline for the following story. Put the headline on a post-it note with your name on it and place it on the door behind Wojo's desk. This is a real story. Headlines must be appropriate, but may be irreverent:

NAPLES, Fla. -- Police say a brawl between roommates over Girl Scout cookies led to assault charges against one of them.
According to the Naples Daily News, the Collier County Sheriff's Office reports that 31-year-old Hersha Howard woke up her roommate early Sunday and accused her of eating her Thin Mints.
They argued and deputies say that it turned physical with Howard chasing her roommate with scissors and hitting her repeatedly with a board and then a sign.
Police say the roommate's husband tried to separate them. The roommate said she gave the cookies to Howard's children.
Howard is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was released Monday on $10,000 bail.
A telephone listing for Howard could not be immediately found.



Can you believe it's March already? That means it's almost the end of the quarter. Don't forget that you need to have professional development done no later than March 18. What can you do? Please review this earlier posting with suggestions. You may do other courses in NewsU if you wish. Do not repeat courses you already did. Your total time should be at least an hour.

Work night is Friday, March 11. Please plan accordingly. All layout editors will need to be here as will department editors, copy editors and EICs. If your story isn't finished, you are expected to attend work night until it is finished. We begin immediately after school.

Seniors: Your service learning requirement has been taken care of. Do not worry about it. I've sent and email to the counselors as well as Mr. Franz.
