Good morning! You are listening to Otherside Community Radio!
We've got a message from Joan, head librarian at the Otherside public library. She's declared "amnesty" on late return fees to people who return their books before the end of next month! She also added that, quote, "If you bring more books than what you borrowed, be they from a personal collection... *cough* or from the Bismarck Metropolitan Library *cough*... I will give you some cute stationery, and I'll even let you take any two items you want from the lost-and-found bin!", unquote... As a public service announcement, I would like to remind you all that Joan collects medieval weaponry and torture devices, so surrendering your books back to the public library is preferable to whatever she has in mind.
In somewhat related news, Camilo, the groundskeeper at Miller Memorial Park, would like to state that, quote, "You can technically take the ducks from the pond as they are public property, but please make sure to return them to the pond before sunset", unquote. Park goers responded to his request with: "it's not a real rave without the ducks, you know? it's not the same."
Lastly, some of you might have noticed this already, but Bismarck has built their bicycle lanes on the opposite side of the road to ours, which wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately we share a border with them. The Metropolitan Council is debating on whether or not to build a small "overpass" to join the two lanes. Council member J. Watkins stated, quote, "If we tell them to do that, one of them is going to do the complete opposite out of spite, I just know it. We are going to end up with half an overpass and half an underpass at city limits. You all can't be trusted with anything!"
That's the news for now. Coming up, Blue Foster's "I'll Teach You Every Move I Know" album. See you later!
