Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

Hello!! Happy Hump Day!!!

Tomorrow on the show...between 7 and 7:30 we've invited a police officer to come on the air and talk with us.

The stories have been in the news..about kids being approached by people, either trying to get them to get into their vehicle or approaching them and talking to them in explicit language.

Fortunately, all of the kids who have been approached knew exactly what to do. But we want to reach as many people as we can...adults and kids...and talk about what to do if someone was to try to get a child in their car..or approached them.

We have asked a Thunder Bay Police Officer, the School Resource Officer, Mark Caccamo to join us on air Thursday morning between 7 and 7:30. We'll talk about the incidents that have occured...what parents need to discuss with their children..and we want the kids to be listening too...this is all about the kids.....because we want them to be safe.


AGAIN - as we always say, it it wasn't for these kind of people - our lives would be boring:
On Monday, a 92-year-old woman (Helen) of Fort McCoy, Florida decided to go next door to visit her neighbor, a 53-year-old male named Dwight Bettner.

And she had a very specific goal in mind: She wanted to basically "get busy with this man - or at the least make out with him"

Only Dwight wasn't into Helen. And when she said she wouldn't leave unless they MADE OUT, he slammed the door on her.

So....Helen...the 92-year-old responded by going home, grabbing her .380 semi-automatic handgun . . . and firing FOUR SHOTS into Dwight's house. Dwight was hit by some debris but wasn't seriously injured. Then he called the cops.

When they got there, Helen told them she was shooting at, quote, "his car that he loved so much." She was arrested for two felonies: Aggravated assault and firing into an occupied dwelling. She's still locked up today.

Dwight told the cops that he's had issues with Helen trying to get all up on him before. Quote, "I feel she is enamored with [me]." He says he even tried to introduce Helen to his girlfriend once . . . after which she threatened to shoot him.


Then there's THIS story...

In Guatemala, the constitution makes it illegal for close relatives and spouses of government officials to succeed them. So, for example, if the CLINTONS were in Guatemala, Bill would've had to divorce Hillary before she could run for president.

Right now, a man named Alvaro Colom is the president of Guatemala. When his term ends next year, his wife Sandra, wants to run for president. Only she can't under constitutional law.

So . . . the Coloms came up with a solution.

Alvaro DIVORCED her, which will make her eligible to be president. They filed for divorce back on the 11th. Because they said the divorce is "mutual," they didn't need to cite a reason for the divorce on the form.

Her potential opponent in the race - naturally, is calling it quote: "shenanigans".

The Guatemalan Constitutional Court is going to review the case and determine whether Sandra should be allowed to run.

(what a unique concept - talk about determination!!!!)
