LOUISIANA, MO. – The Sasquatch-like creature stood tall like a man – just bigger, stinkier and hairier – cradling a dead dog under one arm and growling. The stench from ole’ Big Foot was horrific and sickening before the creature darted back into the rural Missouri woods.

Or, none of that happened and teenagers punked the world.

Either way, for a couple of weeks 40 years ago, tiny Louisiana, Mo., was the center of attention as people came from around the nation to help search for the mysterious beast. People in this historic old town on the banks of the Mississippi River are still debating whether the creature dubbed “Momo the Missouri Monster” really existed. . . .Read Complete Report

A four-part series reported by one of The News-Journal’s sister papers, the Ocala Star-Banner, gives readers an insiders’ look into the world of the first European explorers of Florida’s interior, and the scientists who study that world. . . . Read Complete Report

Alcohol Not Marijuana Triggers Drug Abuse in Teenagers

Finally.

 I have been trying to explain this to certain members of my family for years. The problem of course is that they drink and they do not want to admit that their kids, who have drug problems, started with sneaking liquor from their home bar or beer from their refrigerators.  No amount of study and research will ever change their minds, because then they would have to take part of the blame.  Actually the only real gateway drug is mother’s milk. . . .

The present study included data on more than 14,500 high-school students from 120 schools across U.S. The data was obtained from Monitoring the Future study.

Researchers analyzed the data to find out what substances were being tried by students. They checked for use of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, LSD, amphetamines, tranquilizers and other narcotics. Alcohol was the first substance to be tried by students, the results showed. . . . Read Complete Report
