Dresden Resident Finds Skeleton in Dormant Well

An average man in Dresden, Ontario was having a fairly normal day, working on renovating the porch of the house he planned to move into, until he found a well, with wooden planks nailed to the top of it. After taking the barricade down, he found the skeleton of a man lying at the bottom of the well. The talk of the town is that our deceased friend happens to be Clint Brown of the famous "Dresden Mystery". Clint was a young man, living in a trailer alone, when in the early 1960's, he suddenly disappeared. Being a very popular man in town, people found it odd that one day, he went to a doctor's appointment, and that happened to be the last time he was ever seen. The folklore also tells that he was shoved down a well, funnily enough, but the wells around his home came up with no skeletons. After extensive searching, involving helicopters and search crews, he was never found, but the information obtained may have some assistnce to the current investigation going on. So far, a forensic anthropologist has identified the remains as being human, but cannot yet specify age, time of death, or the cause of death to the victim. I hope this case will have an end so that the people of the town can rest easily.

I think that is a horrible conincedence that a skeleton was found in a well, but I also think that this is probably just a tight knit town starting gossip over nothing. We don't even know the age of the victim, so it is sheer conjecture that this is the mystery being solved. Also, the house had been rented out previously, so it is very suspicious that nobody ever found a body in a well before, which would more than likely suggest the body hasn't been there long, or that the skeleton was moved there. I also hope that the town will not turn this into a big, gossipy fan fare.

Teacher Cleared of Sexual Assault Charges

25 year old Hannah McIntyre was just a trainee teacher when three young men accused her of having sexually assaulted one of the guys in the group after they came to her house and got drunk with her. However, Hannah had a totally different story to tell the judge when she went to trial just this week. While the boys said they got drunk on cider at her house, the sixteen year olds actually barged into her house already drunk, asking to let them in. "I asked them to leave," Hannah told the court. "I said they shouldn't be here and told them to be on their way.
I wanted to be non-confrontational because I didn't want to provoke a reaction. But they just took no notice." The entire game of dares absolutely never happened, but cider was bought by Hannah, in hopes that when she gave them the bottle, they would just leave, but no such luck. She finally gave up, and retired to the bedroom to avoid the gang, as "By this point I was very anxious and bed seemed to be the best hiding place." The steamy sex that they supposedly had was actually the drunk man coming upstairs, poking her and making obnoxious sex noises, before passing out drunk on the floor, which was followed with her having a panic attack in regards to having these maniacs her house. While some articles say otherwise, she clearly states she "would like to see the boy prosecuted", as she used to work at Merchant Crosby, a good private school, but is now "inexpressively angry" that her life and career are in tatters after the accusation.

This is an absolutely horrifying story, and I am quite glad that I had in some ways expected this to be completely ficticious. Of course, his motive was to deflect from his bad behaviour by blaming it on someone else. I think he should definitely be prosecuted, and that this kind of behaviour is disgusting and an embarassment to the legal system. The fact these allegations were completely fraudelent, obviously, as she has already been cleared of her charge, and they were still able to get her to lose her job and reputation is horrifying. I feel very sorry for this woman, and I desperately hope that he gets what he deserves, but more so that she gets her life back. To see the article, click here.

Teacher Plays Drunken Love Game with Student and Loses

It began as a fairly normal night for a 16 year old boy and his friends, where they were just having fun as usual, until things became unexpectedly steamy with all the wrong people. The gang of hooligans from Merchant Taylor Boys' school in Britain decided to go to Hannah McIntyre's house, the twenty five year old trainee teacher at their school. She let them in, and they went on to ask questions about the personal lives of her fellow co-workers, until she gave each of them two litres of Strongbow cider, which they drank until they were drunk enough to dare the young lady to kiss the boy on the lips, something she declined, until compromising to have the two friends kiss each other and then she would kiss the underage Casanova. The boys were too drunk to find their way home, so being the woman with the heart of gold she is, she let two of the boys stay in the living room. The other? In her bedroom! Just when you think the two might have ended the raciness at the kiss, she whipped off her pyjama bottoms, only to have the couple consumate their relaionship. The incident, a total mistake, did not even include pillow talk, but quickly followed with the infamous walk of shame, where this time, the four of them conspired to not tell a soul, and the one night only pair did not talk for a long time after. Now, he is an 18 year old undergraduate, and a year after that night, his mother finally demanded to know what happened, and he told her about the incident. Hannah McIntyre is denying the allegations of sexual activity with a child and a person of trust, but we will soon see who is telling the truth.

There are two parts of this story that I have strong opinions about. First, there have been several occurances where students accused teachers of sexual abuse to get back at them, and the year long gap between the night and his mother finding out is quite unusual. It would be quite repulsive to lie about something like this, and damaging to her career, so hopefully (well, not hopefully) he is not lying. Secondly, this woman, if guilty of this crime, should never teach again, and this is clearly taking advantage of someone by means of alcohol and authority. The part about him being a child, though, is total garbage, as if he had not been drunk, he could have fought back and not had sex with her. So, the situation is very strange, but the truth will be unveiled soon enough. This story also is similar to our story about the lap dancing teachers, as it proves that these people need to learn to keep their acts together and gain some boundaries.

It's been proven now that the students lied, as you can read here, which is what I had been weary of, and I feel that this woman has suffered a severe injustice through this accusation, so I apologize for ever commenting on a story so ironious and factless. More so, I apologize for writing in an accusatory manner, which may have been how the press depicted the story themselves, but a non biase interpretation would have been more fair.

Lap Dancing Teachers Suspended.

One of the biggest viral videos and hottest stories all began on a teenage girl's cell phone, when she chose to video tape the steamy sex simulation two teachers embarked on during a school assembly. A few weeks ago, I spoke on this topic, and now, the Churchill teachers' verdict has been decided. Trustee Mike Babinsky told the pres the mother of the Human Resources director died just days before the incident, which might explain why two weeks after suspension with pay, the teachers were brought in on seperate days and told they would be suspended indefinitely and without pay. While the male teacher has a contract, the female teacher is signed on yearly, so it is expected once the school year ends, she will not be asked to return to the staff. To clarify, a rumor started that the teachers suffered no punishment at all, because of the school's "no videophone or recording device" policy, which made the video insubstantial evidence and complete void of meaning. However, this is not at all the case, and the teachers are definitely being punished. To read about the original article, click here.

My opinion on this topic hasn't changed one bit, and I think it is a real shame these foolish teachers were suspended without pay. While a the board was not comfortable with this behaviour, students and parents were absolutely fine with it, or at least acknowledged it as a mere lapse in judgement. The girl who taped the incident regrets posting the steamy footage on the web to begin with, and her father agrees with her stand. I hope, though, that the way the school dealt with their punishment won't endanger future employment, just because they wil hopefully gain some wisdom with age, and learn that oral sex simulations in a high school gym are not the best way to make your employer happy.

Disabled Woman Loses Life Due to House Fire

On Tuesday morning, in Strathona Park, the Rumpel family faced a horrific tragedy when fire struck their home, engulfing the property in flames. While Thomas Rumpel, a geologist, escaped the fire with serious injuries with his 20 year old son, who was in stable condition at the hospital, 58 year old Brenda Jeanne Rumpel lost her life in the fire. Due to a handicap, Brenda was confined to a wheelchair, a disability that her loving family had taken many steps to make easier, such as installing elevators, ramps, and renovating the kitchen, and up until that day, she hadn't taken a serious loss due to the impairment. But, sadly, the amount of smoke from the fire stopped her from being able to evacuate, taking $700,000 worth of damage on the home and her life, the only thing still standing being the garage, filled with cars the father-son pair worked on together. Brenda was described by many neighbours as being a wonderful person, so I offer my sincerest condolences to the family and friends of this woman. Here is a link to her guest book, where you can read some of the moving messages from friends and co-workers of Brenda. Here is the original article.

Boxing Day Shooting Trial Has a Surprising End

On Boxing Day 2005, a 15 year old girl by the name of Jane Creba was window shopping, when her life came to a sudden end due to the recklessness of Louis Raphael Woodcock, age 23, and Tyshaun Barnett, age 22. The infamous murder took place when a young man exited a Foot Locker, carrying a .357 calibre Magnum revolver, and confronted a group of 10 men, a group that Louis and Tyshaun were a part of. The two defendants were in possession of a 9 milimetre handgun and .25 calibre semi automatic handgun when they were at the same Foot Locker. The young girl in question was shot dead by accident, but her life was taken nonetheless during a reckless shooting that could have been avoided, leading to a murder trial, where the two thugs were being charged with second degree murder. Today, the case has finally come to an end, and the verdict is that the two men are not guilty of second degree murder, but of manslaughter.

This is an extremely tragic story that this girl lost her life do to the carelessness of others, and even more so that these two men are not being punished to the full extent of the law. To clarify, first degree murder is a crime that is carried out in a manner that was planned, and commited with the exact intent of killing the victim. Second degree murder, which is what the defendents were charged with, is murder without the specific intention or preparation. The defendents were found guilty of manslaughter, which would mean that the defendents did not wish to murder the victim. I personally believe this is saying that the life they took couldn't have been avoided, and that the mistake they made is barely related to the death of this girl, and this couldn't be more wrong. I do think it is good that they are at least getting some form of punishment, and that this case can be put to rest so that the family can move on.
