A high school teacher in one of our local school districts was arrested this month on several criminal charges. She's had intimate relationships with several of her male students (translation: statutory rape). She's pretty much admitted that she did everything she's accused of. Her lawyer says she has been an outstanding citizen. Well, except for this sex with minors thing. I swear, some people are so picky!
Some Paris News funnies: There's an interview with Robert High in the latest issue of Paris lifestyles magazine. The writer of the interview says Mr. High was accepted at "McHarry" medical school in Nashville. It's "Meharry," dear. Wonder if their students wear McStethoscopes and perform McSurgeries? One of Mr. High's ancestors was a "black smith." That's quite possible since Mr. High is African American. But I think we're talking "blacksmith" here.
Mary Madewell recently wrote an editorial about how they often have to clean up grammar and word usage in letters to the editor. What a hoot. She should start with her own reporters -- Stephanie Norman writes: "There once was a young girl who's high school senior prom . . ." How would you like to be a high school senior prom? Then Stephanie says in an article about a seamstress, "She sews on patches and adds applicants to the legs or pockets." Ouch! I've never applied for a job where they sewed me to a pair of pants! The word, dear, is applique. In an article about a photographer, she repeatedly refers to her "Cannon" cameras. Shoot one of those n's out of there, honey. The Canon Company doesn't use two in the middle of its name.
