Here is your local news report. First Republic Bank on Jackson Avenue was robbed yesterday by a man with a cell phone. Obviously, the robber stated that unless the bank agreed to give him what he asked for, he would instruct his partner on the phone to kill a young girl who had been taken prisoner. The robber left with about $ 20000 in cash.

Two baby whales that were trapped in Stevens Bay over the weekend finally managed to find their way back to the ocean. Some local fishermen had placed large amounts of fish in the water behind their boats, hoping that the whales would follow them toward open water. In the end, strong winds and the resulting tides helped the whales get back home.

In entertainment news, Friday night’s motorcycle show will continue as planned despite concerns about safety. Last month, a rider was seriously injured when he fell off his motorcycle while trying to perform a dangerous trick. Riders have all signed forms that release the city from any legal responsibility if they get hurt, and media staff will be on scene as usual during the show.
