Ypsi City Desk presents: Clearinghouse O' Newsy Tidbits

Defenseman Kevin Quick of Michigan's highly ranked hockey team was bounced from coach Red Berenson's program Friday. This leaves Michigan with ONLY 6 defensemen the rest of the season. This hurts, it really does. We'll try to find out what happened and let you know but it must have been serious. Coach Berenson had this to say: "Obviously, it was serious enough that we had to let him go. It was just a total violation of our team trust and our rules...''

When the JURY asks to make a statement of apology to the plaintiffs in a case, the defense is about to SERIOUSLY have it's ass handed to it, and today rightfully so. A Washtenaw County jury awarded 10 current and former Michigan female correctional inmates 15 million dollars. The inmates claimed and have proven their case of years of abuse, humiliation, harassment and sexual assaults at the hands of male guards. Where have our morals gone when we feel it's OK to engage in this kind of behavior because "well they shouldn't have put them selves in such a position of not knowing what yadda yadda yadda." Was the waterboard station being used or something?

Good news in the economic realm as Mercedes Benz is expanding it's Tech Center in Research Park. Isn't it interesting that so much research goes on in and around RESEARCH PARK? It's like they KNEW or something. Mercedes Benz is adding 6,663 square feet to their facility. Approval pending.

One rodent saw his shadow today, one rodent did not. So much for weather predicting rodents. Everyone knows that winter is officially over when the Dairy Queen opens on Michigan Avenue.
