News roundup: Woody the Wayward Steer is home... for real this time

By Philip Anselmo

It's true. Woody the show steer that escaped from the Genesee County Fairgrounds early last week has been apprehended and settled into a stall back home. We swear. Dr. Cricket Johnson says so in her very own words on WBTA. She and her crack team of cow catchers picked him up last night. They say he has lost some weight and will need some fattening up before being sold for... slaughter.

It may not be easy, but all alcoholism and substance abuse facilities in the state will have to go smoke free. Executive Director of GCASA David Markham told Dan Fischer that between 80 and 90 percent of people in treatment are smokers.

She says that "He was spotted in the woods by the fairgrounds where he was all along. I was able to get right up to him and dart him." Sounds like Woody started to like being darted.

I wonder if he smokes?
