odd news
Date with porn star prompts resignation
MONESSEN, Pa. — A high school art teacher who went on a date with a porn star after winning a satellite radio contest has resigned.
Jaison Biagini traveled to St. Petersburg, Fla., last month after winning the date on the Sirius satellite radio show "Bubba the Love Sponge."
The school board voted Tuesday to accept his resignation.
Biagini, who taught art for 14 years at Monessen High School, said he entered the contest because he wanted to win the free trip and visit the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg. He described the date as being "all fake and staged."
Biagini, who uses a wheelchair, was interviewed on the radio show after returning home, and told the Valley Independent in Monessen that he was ridiculed for his disability.
Judge jails former mayor until boat is demolished
TOMS RIVER, N.J. — The former mayor of Stafford was ordered jailed until he finds a contractor to demolish the last of four decrepit boats from a residential lagoon.
Wesley Bell remained in the Ocean County jail Saturday, according to a jail official.
The day before, Judge John A. Peterson told the former mayor that he would stay in jail until he produced a signed agreement with a contractor to raise and demolish the MaBell, a 60-foot, wooden-hulled former lobster boat.
