Leads :)

1. Devastation to the cattle industry, the introduction of new diseases, and a move that could hurt tourist trade on an entire continent; you would think all these problems couldn’t be outweighed, but some ecologists and biologists have an idea they think is worth it.

2. A man got more than he intended to after robbing a gas station. Not only did he make out with an undetermined amount of money, he also found a six-month-old girl in the back seat.
Or

Screams could be heard for miles on Wednesday afternoon after a mother’s car was stolen at a gas station with her six-month-old daughter still in the back seat.
Or

Ethel Perakiss got out of her car like she always did.
Leaving the keys in the car, she started pumping the gas.
Just as she turned her back, a man in a white t-shirt ran out of the convenient store and jumped in her car.
“My baby’s in the back seat!” Perakiss shouted, but the car was already screeching away.

3. Constance Wei, a Representative for the 86th District, who is a strongly opposed to the banning of cell phones while driving, was on her way home on Wednesday night when she hit the car in front of her.
The cause?
She was on her cell phone.
Wei did not see the red light or the cars that were stopped.

4. Students’ dreams are finally coming true in one school district.
The high point school district just voted 7-0 to have a four day school week.

5. An empty building in the center of a town will finally be transformed due to the generosity of one neighbor.
Willie Hattaway, who died last year at age 98, left $2 million in his will to transform the empty building into a community center.

6. As the saying goes, everything you need to learn you learn in kindergarten. Courts proved this true after sentencing Sarah Zerwinn, who had failed to bring her daughter to kindergarten, to attend kindergarten with her daughter to make sure she attended and got there in time.
“Perhaps you will learn something about the importance of your daughter education”, said the judge.
