Gator goes to School
Full Story: "PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. – Officials believe they have found an alligator that escaped from a wildlife officer who brought the animal to his daughter's school for show and tell.
Stan Kirkland, a spokesman for the Florida wildlife commission, says officials think the 5-foot alligator is in a Panhandle pond. Authorities weren't able to capture the gator Friday.
Searchers scoured a wooded area surrounding the school Friday afternoon after the alligator jumped out of the man's vehicle with its mouth taped shut.
Kirkland says alligators have 'amazing' jumping ability and that allowed it to escape."

No one on ballot for mayor, council in NC town
Full Story: "SPENCER MOUNTAIN, N.C. – Who's on the ballot in a tiny North Carolina mill village? This year, no one.
The Charlotte Observer reports that no one has filed to run for mayor or any of the three town council seats in Spencer Mountain in Gaston County.
The incumbents say the filing deadline just sneaked up on them, but they have a solution: They'll just show up at the polls and write in each other's names.
Gaston County Elections Director Frances Pinion says it's not unusual for no candidates to file in small communities like this one.
Write-ins usually solve the problem, but Pinion says Spencer Mountain's charter keeps incumbents in office until new officials are elected, so the seats won't be empty.
There are 29 registered voters in Spencer Mountain."
