We are ALMOST into our 14th year of publication of Disclosure NewsMagazine Monthly...and we are happy to be bringing you the final issue of year number 13, February-March 2016...and it's a HOT one!

We know this because this issue's been blowing off the stands for a week now...and we were on top of it enough this time to ensure we printed up several hundred over last issue (which sold out in most locations). We're a week delayed in bringing you this post because regular site maintenance last week got all glitchy on us and we had to take a few days to repair and reinforce, which we now have, and the site's back up, including the February-March issue, which we lost in the initial upgrade. Since you're used to a paper every three weeks anyway, I reckon it wouldn't hurt to bring this one to you a week later, and three weeks from our NEXT issue (yes, we're taking a rare four-weeker between this issue and the next, and no, it's not for vacation, unfortunately....)

Print Headlines are presented in order that they appear in the paper - Front Page, Back Page (our second front page), pages 2 and 3, Features if any (usually presented on page 12/13), Egypt, Heartland, Central and then Op-Ed. They are laid out here according to dateline (the location where the material in the article occurred), headline with link to the e-Edition, and a brief synopsis in our increasingly-less-snarky Disclosure style (because, you know...we're a kinder, gentler Disclosure these days). So without further ado, we present to you THIS MONTH'S PRINT HEADLINES for FEBRUARY-MARCH 2016.

FRONT PAGE

LAWRENCE/WABASH COs. - Traffic arrest of drug felon unnerves local meth world: There's been a lot happen lately that should make the meth-slingers shake in their shoes. The arrest of Cameron Jones on a basic traffic stop in Wabash County is just the beginning of the tendrils that have far-reaching implications...and a lot of people who everybody thinks have been "out of the meth scene" for a long time might not want to kick back and relax just yet. Because conspiracy, as you know, can be charged 7 years back. Just sayin.

Rick White, as taken by me. No, you can't use this. Yes, it is copyrighted; 2013. Yes, I'll call my attorney. Ask a particular Clay County dweeb about that when a couple of weeks ago, he ripped a photo of Ricky that I took.

RICHLAND CO. - INDICTED: PERJURY: The errant Rick White's arrest on a perjury indictment January 27 is the subject of this in-depth article, which brings out every step completely overlooked by all the area mainstream media. And why WOULDN'T they deliberately overlook it? It's a bad idea to get ISP upset with you; they're a vindictive bunch, and you can't win against them...unless you have proof aka evidence of what they've done. And there are a few people who do indeed have that.

SALINE CO. - CHESS CLUB DOCUMENTS: The follow-up to the explosive article we brought you in the February issue that gives just the basic details of what we've learned about Harrisburg's Chess Club, the place that has so many decent people up in arms over the bourgeoisie thinking they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whomever they want, and there will be no repercussions. And there wouldn't...if we didn't exist. Because, hey, like mainstream newspapers say, "That's gossip. That's not my problem." The PROBLEM is that it ISN'T just "gossip," it's reality...and when it comes to people involved in it who are making a living of your tax dollars, well...that's EVERYBODY'S problem.

RICHLAND CO. - 'Date' with 12-year-old leads to kidnapping charge: Remember this massive situation that broke at the beginning of February? Well guess what...it wasn't quite what it was being made out to be. And we have the backstory...and no one else, incidentally, does.

BACK PAGE

FRANKLIN/RICHLAND COs. - Heroic Richland County man wins a victory in difficult court battle: While most mainstream media was abuzz about the punitive and compensatory damages suit a man originally from Dundas won in an early-February civil court case, they completely missed the point about the defense and what was involved. Here, we tell the details that the other places who were covering this left out...and you'll understand how serious this whole case really was when you finally get to read it. And for e-Edition subscribers, the full video will be posted soon.

Richard Harper

HARRISBURG - Harrisburg councilman charged: Drunk Driving: The full coverage of Richard Harper's arrest and charge of DUI which occurred on deadline and which the coverage on the free side of the website here was lost in the crash a few days later. This is the only place you can read it, therefore...and despite the "efforts" put out by other media to cover the case, they don't say what needs to be said. We do.

RICHLAND CO. - Two familiar faces bust within days of each other: Are people rollin rollin rollin? Kinda seems that way, doesn't it, when these folks with spotty pasts all of a sudden are busted on a variety of charges ...and many around them know they've been (allegedly) up to no good recently. Here are two that won't surprise you.

PAGE 2

SALINE CO. - Now Moutria not only is charged with felonies in Madison...but he has bad teeth in Saline Co.: Dan Moutria just won't go away. We had to hold this piece from last issue because we ran out of room...but the material, updated for this month, is still just as pertinent.

WHITE CO. - Radioactivity in oil operation among many claims of injury from two White County woman in lawsuit: There have been a lot of strange allegations going around about the oil patch in the Illinois Basin of White, Wayne, and surrounding counties. This is one of them...and yet here are a couple of ladies who have brought it to litigation.

PAGE 3

Briefs from around the Disclosure area: Your tour of the briefs this month includes material from a sex crime in Flora; the guy from Percy with the bad hair accused of stabbings in Hamilton County; cocaine arrests in Mt. Carmel courtesy some out-of-state peeps just passing through; and a couple of White County women, married to each other, who decided to engage in thievery at the local Wallyworld. Yeah. I know.

FEATURE (PAGE 12)

WILLIAMSON CO. - Commissioner sued for defrauding mother: Ron Ellis just keeps flopping around the courthouse and other areas of Williamson as if nothing has ever happened to put his mother in abject poverty and never address it again. Oh wait, something did happen...a lawsuit happened. And he's the defendant.

EGYPT

HARDIN CO. - Hardin woman's flight from justice over: Yes, Carrie Atkinson was caught, sneaking into Hardin County to see who-knows-who. Seriously...if you've managed to escape southern Illinois with (allegedly) tens of thousands of dollars in cash, WHY are you coming BACK. Stay gone! Go to the islands. Get a job as a housekeeper there. Good grief.

SALINE CO. - Suspect claims ignorance following crash that ended high-speed pursuit: This kind of thing absolutely cracks us up. Guy runs from cops; guy crashes his car; guy is surrounded by cops while he's lying across the front seat of his crashed car; guy is roused and all of a sudden doesn't remember a THING that happened. Wait'll you see it.

SALINE CO. - Suspect threatens to kill officer and his children: People like this guy just need put away. On their own island. With an active volcano.

SALINE CO. - Speakeasy cigar caper lands doper behind bars: We frequent Speakeasy; it's a great place, with wonderful employees...who have no hesitation regarding putting up a pic of the most recent alleged thief from the establishment. Note: If you're a crim and you want to steal from Speakeasy, know that they're going to make you famous. Or infamous, which isn't as much fun as it sounds. Ask this guy.

SALINE CO. - One of four escapees returns on his own: Was it the genuine hospitality; the fine cuisine; the several amenities that had this guy returning to the Henley Hotel (aka the Saline County Detention Center)? Nah. It was probably that warrant for running while he was supposed to be behind bars.

SALINE CO. - Granger couple caught boosting chrome rims and tires: This issue's hint for the criminally-retarded: When helping yourselves to someone else's tires, be sure that your story matches each other's. Cops around here have a tendency to separate you, THEN ask questions.

SALINE CO. -  Two felons, both arrested, both carrying weapon: Perhaps the best line in the entire paper this month: "Oh, I have a gun in my boot." You can't make this stuff up. And who would WANT to??

HEARTLAND

EDWARDS/JASPER COs. - 'Great guy' being held on $10k cash bond following breaking of family member's face: He's such a great guy, and so misunderstood, and you know, it's he said/she said, and maybe someone had better check out her face and see if it's REALLY broken because she lies...no, really. These are the things that come from the potato bin of our Facebook page dating back to February 1 when this above-pictured guy from Newton was arrested in Edwards County. I kid you not.

JASPER CO. - Cannabinoid and pot pipe focus of Jasper crim roundup: The headline says it all.

JASPER CO. - Ste. Marie pair face water services theft and violence charges: Nothing like a little violence to bring the cops out only to find out that you're illegally tapped on to the city water. Not that we're saying anyone really DID that. It's all just alleged at this point, ya know.

CRAWFORD CO. - $10,000 cash bond set in AK-47 case: Why. Oh why. Would anyone in possession of such a nice weapon as an AK allegedly opt to just up and fire on the building in which they were formerly employed? Maybe because the operative word is 'formerly'...idk.

CRAWFORD CO. - Serial criminal charged with sexual abuse: Here's another one of those where everyone comes to bat because he's such a "nice guy." Folks. Really. So was Ted Bundy; he helped people change flat tires at the side of the road. But as to this dude...well, we'll just let the whole thing shake out in court.

EDGAR CO. - Airport manager who lied his way into the job in Edgar resigns over being called a 'liar': Yes. You read that right. The guy who blatantly lied on his resume and application (which the Watchdogs discovered, like, two years ago) has resigned the position at the airport because the Watchdogs called him a liar. Oh, if only EVERY case were that easy....

CRAWFORD CO. - Big Jack Nidey accused of pot possession: Big Jack, in trouble again.

CLARK CO. - Former circuit clerk took out OP against whistleblower to stop court appearance: Just when you think you have heard EVERYTHING, along comes someone who steps over that line of "things that everyone thinks they've heard." And oh my, this one...wait til you read the narrative.

CRAWFORD CO. - Violent Robinson man charged with harassing witness in case against him: Always a bad idea, to intimidate or harass someone who's a witness in your case. Let this be a lesson to those who believe they might want to engage in such a thing.

CENTRAL

RICHLAND CO. - Olney man accused of wanting to kill step-daughter and bury her in the yard: There are some truly sick individuals out there, and while some of them haven't been brought completely out of the shadows yet, some, like this idiot, have been. The fate of each class needs examined: The ones whom we KNOW are violent and won't ever amount to anything need put away; the ones who've not been determined openly to be of this sort need found out...and put away. This story will sicken you. And if it doesn't...you might be among those in the second class.

CLAY CO. - Flora man accused of strangling family member: There was a dearth of news out of Clay this month, but we did the best we could. Here's the first of a few pieces from a rather calm month in Clay.

WABASH CO. - $10,000 bond set in sex case: At least Cassandra has it going on with this sex case in Wabash.

LAWRENCE CO. - State's attorney rushed former Lawrence County sex abuse suspect through court: What's up with Chris Quick? Has he decided to live up to the last name? We can't figure out some of the stuff being pulled in court. Bet you can't either.

WHITE CO. - Police say knife used during assault of family member: It wasn't the same as the front-pager from last month...but it was bad enough.

RICHLAND CO. - One suspected meth lab, one suspected drug dealer among seven nabbed in latest Richland drug arrests: There's never a lack of meth arrests coming out of Richland County, thanks to our deputies and Olney cops being on the ball with it. Maybe...one day...the meth slingers and tab poppers will be run out of our fair county...

RICHLAND CO. - Man with history of letting swine run at large charged with criminal damage: No, the pigs didn't do any damage. This time.

WABASH CO. - Mt. Carmel day of violence began on Mulberry St.: Any Dr. Seuss readers out there...?

WHITE CO. - Obsessed woman ordered to seek counseling or go to jail: I believe I may have uttered this a little further up, but...oh, if only this could be done with ALL obsessed people. Some of them, they just skirt under the wire of the law and never get caught, only to continue their sick ways.

CLAY CO. - Employment mandate made part of sentencing for Louisville man convicted of harassment: And this, friends, is how the job pool ends up being the potato bin....

RICHLAND CO. - Olney sex offender charged with not registering - AGAIN: He's a repeat offender, as it were....

OP-ED

COLUMNS
SURLY & UNCOOPERATIVE (Jack): Jack's pissed AGAIN and it's Biblically epic
ICY (Ang): Studying the 'things that are not okay' chart
MINKUS INK (Bubba): Preparing for the fatwa: How many people...?
