    BAGLEY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A woman was rescued Tuesday from an outhouse toilet in northern Michigan after she climbed in to retrieve her Apple Watch and became trapped. First responders were called when the woman was heard yelling for help. The toilet was removed and a strap was used to haul the woman out. “If you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area. Serious injury may occur,” state police said in the release. The state police did not say Wednesday if the woman was injured or if the watch was...

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – A woman in Southeast Alaska said she never imagined having an issue with bears while winter camping near Haines last weekend, until one bit her on her bottom. Shannon Stevens was camping with her brother and his girlfriend at a yurt near Chilkat Lake on Saturday, when she left to use the outhouse after dinner. “I went to the outhouse, sat on the toilet and immediately something bit me,” she said. “Honestly … it didn’t occur to me it would be a bear. I didn’t know what it was. I felt the pain and screamed.” Shannon...

    Initially, Obama Foundation officials ambitiously predicted they would break ground on the construction in 2018 and said they expected the center to open in 2021. Then they had to push that timeline back. Most recently, the foundation has hesitated to publicly release an updated timeline.

    Digging Into a Fossil Outhouse by Tim Clarey, Ph.D. * A group of paleontologists reported the discovery of concentrated fields of fossilized dung, called coprolite, in northwest Argentina.1 The closely-spaced dung piles are seen as evidence of gregarious behavior from large herbivores. However, does the great Flood provide a better explanation? Eight separate dung heaps were located within an area of about three square miles in La Rioja Province, each containing hundreds to thousands of coprolites with an average density of about 80 coprolites per square yard.1 The dung concentrations were spaced about a mile apart, and each covered an...

    TUCUMCARI, N.M. - Most Presidential libraries are constructed after the President completes his term. However, according to KOAT-ABC, a New Mexico man has determined the location for President Obama's library and has marked it with a sign that is sparking controversy in one small town. The sign rests on top of an outhouse. It reads: Obama's Presidential Library. Some in town view the sign as bad taste while others are supportive. One man told a local reporter that folks are treating it as a tourist destination and that it is frequently photographed. The man responsible for the sign would not...

    The administration of President Barack Obama, whose official blogger while Obama was a candidate came under attack for hanging a Communist Party flag in his Harvard apartment, apparently has given permission to raise the emblem of Communist China over the south lawn of the White House. The plan, reported by several English-language Chinese media outlets, has raised concern among those who are working to guard the United States from outside influences that could be threats. According to the Global Times English-language edition, the national flag of the communist People's Republic of China on Sept. 20 will be raised for the...

    NICKTOWN — When she wakes from restless sleep in the middle of the night, Susan Miller thinks about the man who put her family out of their rural Blacklick Township farm. The Amish mother would like to talk to Cambria County Judge Norman Krumenacker, who ordered the house, barns and outbuildings padlocked because she and her husband John violated building codes and sewage regulations at their 49.5-acre homestead. "I sat up in bed the other night, and I was thinking that I feel bad he has to do this to us. I wanted to write him a letter to tell...

    "RUSH: Here's a story out of Malibu, California, where Bob Dylan has a compound, and some of his neighbors are charging in "an increasingly odoriferous dispute" that he's got a portable toilet outside the house, and the odors coming from this estate, which is Point Dume, are getting to the point that they're intolerable." "Residents contend that the nighttime sea breeze sends a noxious odor from a portable toilet on Dylan's property wafting into their homes. The stench has made members of one family ill and forced them to abandon their bedrooms on warm nights, they say. For more than...

    Ebensburg, Pa. (AP) -- A western Pennsylvania Amish farmer was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail after refusing to bring a pair of outhouses into compliance with state sewage laws. Andy Swartzentruber, of Ebensburg, cited his conservative religious beliefs in refusing to abide by a court order to make the privies used by schoolchildren compliant and pay a $500 fine. Cambria County Judge Norman Krumenacker said he respected the Amish's religious beliefs but had no choice but to sentence Swartzentruber to jail and fine him $1,000 for being in contempt of court. "Quite frankly, this is not a religious...

    A fetus doesn't count as a passenger in the carpool lane, an Arizona judge has ruled. The Phoenix Municipal Court decision doesn't affect drivers in high-occupancy-vehicle lanes around, say, Vancouver or Toronto, but it addresses a thorny question that may have occurred to some. Candace Dickinson, 23, of Ahwatukee Foothills, Ariz., got a ticket for driving alone in an HOV lane on Interstate 10 on Nov. 8. She fought it in court on grounds that she was pregnant at the time, the Arizona Republic reported. Judge Dennis Freeman rejected her argument on Tuesday. For HOV purposes, a person is someone...

    CONWAY — Assured that the Maine man discovered at the bottom of an Albany outhouse in June would receive psychiatric treatment, a district court judge accepted a negotiated plea agreement yesterday from Gary Moody, 45. “Anyone who was in the ladies’ toilet is a victim and females at large are victims and they have heightened scrutiny for fear of what they might find there,” Judge Pamela Albee said. “I think Mr. Moody requires treatment.” Moody pleaded no contest in the District Court of Northern Carroll County to criminal trespass, stemming from an incident in which he entered a vault under...

    TAKE A PEEK before you pee in a portable toilet this weekend. Chances of seeing someone peeking back at you are slim, but some people can be persistent. On Sunday, a 45-year-old Maine convenience-store owner was found knee-deep in excrement in a holding tank below an outhouse near a popular swimming hole in Ossipee, N.H. "We had to decontaminate him," Captain Jon Hebert, of the Carroll County sheriff's office, told the Associated Press. "We treated him as if he were a hazardous material." The local fire department hosed down Gary Moody, who was wearing hip-waders, after he was found by...

    A man is recovering from burns after lighting a cigarette in a portable outhouse in Monongalia County, West Virginia, causing the outhouse to explode. The incident occurred Tuesday morning in Blacksville, West Virginia. The man's name and condition aren't being released, but emergency officials say he wasn't severely hurt and even drove himself to a clinic. A spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services said the explosion was caused because there was a build-up of methane gases inside the outhouse. She said the methane didn't "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette.
