Spice it up like The Arcata Eye:
Example (from this week):
• Wednesday, February 20 9:46 a.m. When something bothers thee, remember that yelling will always make the world a better place. Especially when the yell recipients are a woman with two small children walking eastbound on 11th Street. The oh-so-gallant galoot was detained and cited on a warrant.
12:58 p.m. A mortally injured deer on West End Road was “dispatched,” which always sounds like it was sent somewhere, and maybe it was.
1:28 p.m. A Valley West budget motel maid happened upon an untidy assemblage of recreational items – a baggie of pot and a firearm with no serial number.
2:36 p.m. A woman left her burgundy and silver Haro mountain bike for four days at the Infacilimodaltransimajigger, and – shockingly – the $500 set of wheels wasn’t there when she returned. The inescapable conclusion is that there’s someone dishonest – right here in Arcata.
• Thursday, February 21 12:38 a.m. A car’s back window was broken out on Monterey Drive.
7:51 a.m. Within minutes of allegedly besmirching Alliance Road walls with spray-painted ugliness, a suspected vandal was caught and cuffed.
9:10 a.m. A car’s back window was broken out on Ericson Way.
9:56 a.m. The handiwork of chump change-frenzied parking meter meddlers was discovered on Mill Street. A malicious mischief case was begun.
10:36 a.m. Those three key words: off his meds.
11:33 a.m. As neighboring sisters argued, an elderly man fell down and hurt himself. Hence, an ambulance call was mingled with discussion of restraining orders.
2:43 p.m. A customer made a deposit at an Arcata Heights bank, leaving behind a sheaf of “disturbing” writings. An officer found 20 pages of “senseless writing.”
2:46 p.m. The same Ericson car-window smash was reported again.
3:18 p.m. This week’s featured yelling Plaza crazy man dispensed verbal abuse at puzzled passersby along G Street.
