Olathe woman traps herself
in trunk of her frozen car
OLATHE — Louise Davis won't soon forget the last time she tried to get into her car during an ice storm.
Davis, 68, found her car doors sealed shut by ice last Friday morning. She decided to go through the trunk, planning to kick at the back seat, which folds down.
"Just as soon as I got in, the trunk slammed shut, said Davis, who tried in vain to kick down the seat. She trapped herself in a blanket, prayed and bound on the trunk as others started their cars in the parking lot.
Finally, Troy Edwards walked up to her trunk and listened.
Edwards called the police, who broke a window and let Davis out through the back seat.
Government phone numbers absent from Wisconsin books
RACINE, Wis. — Amertech has heard nothing but static since this year's phone book came out.
Missing from the blue government pages are numbers for circuit court offices, the county treasurer, register of deeds, the county executive and corporation counsel.
The Associated Press
The missing numbers are causing headaches because tax season is in full swing.
Rob Richardson, the county information systems director, said Ameritech didn't get the numbers in time, and the phone company printed the book anyway.
Industrious 20-year-old student elected to office in West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Twenty-year-old Jason Nettles, Calcoun County's new assessor, tells critics to count his successes, not his birthdays.
"So I just thought, well I'll just run," Nettles said. He now faces the task of appraising the county's 13,000 land properties and 8,000 personal properties, and must do so with a tight budget.
Nettles was planning on medical school, but a politics professor recounted stories of former students who ran for public office and won.
Nettles, a Democrat, received 70 percent of the vote in defeating his Republican opponent in November. At 5-foot-6, the only thing big about Nettles is his ambition.
