 The Union Police Department has begun a new Pedestrian Safety Enforcement Program
which will be actual police officers dressed up in pedestrian decoys with the intention
of attempting to cross the street at the crosswalk. In addition, Officers on routine patrol
will be targeting violators. Our primary goal is to educate and promote safety and that
will certainly be our focus. Officers will also be enforcing other common motor vehicle

stings.

 Law Enforcement is searching for a 20 year old University of Tennessee nursing student
Holly Bobo underwater who was last seen by her 25-year-old brother, Clint, who
reported seeing her being taken into the woods at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday by a man
dressed in camouflage. Clint told police that he initially assumed Holly was with her
boyfriend, but said he grew concerned after finding blood outside, prompting him to call
911. Holly is described as 5-foot-3, weighing 110 pounds. She was last seen wearing a
pink shirt and light blue jeans. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is being
urged to call Tennessee law enforcement at 1-800-824-3463.
 A 6 year old boy brought in a gun to school Tuesday and shot 3 students when the gun
accidentally went off. This happened at Ross Elementary School in Houston, Texas. "The
weapon fell to the ground and fired during the lunch period around 10:22 a.m., injuring
three kindergarten students, including the child who brought the gun," the statement
continued. Two of the students were wounded including the 6 year old who bought the
gun. The child that bought the gun was hurt in his foot, whereas one of the other
students were grazed in the leg and the 3 rd child was a 5 year old girl who was injured in
the knee.
In International News…
 Prof. Colin Humphreys, a scientist at the University of Cambridge in England is
challenging that the long celebrated Last Supper of Jesus Christ on Maundy (the
Thursday before Easter) is saying that it instead took place on the Wednesday before
the Crucifixion. He thinks this was due to a calendar mix-up. To pinpoint the exact timing
of Jesus’ final meal, Humphreys used a combination of biblical, historical and
astronomical research. Humphreys' theory is that Jesus went by an old-fashioned Jewish
calendar rather than the official lunar calendar that was in widespread use at the time of
his death and is still in use today, AFP reports.

 The first time in 46 years Cuba’s nation will not have Fidel Castro on the communist
party leadership ballot. Opposed to it being Raul Castro it will be Fidel’s long time
confidant Jose Ramon Machado Ventura. The 3 rd in line would be Ramiro Valdes, a 78-
year-old vice president. As their names were called for membership in the Central
Committee, each newly elected official stood up, revealing a mix of young and old,
including many women and Cubans of African descent. There were also a number of
generals and other senior armed forces officials.

 Its Friday Singer 13 year old Rebecca Black has been receiving death threats. These
death threats were received just last month and the youtube sensation has been
seeking officials to help her found out who they’re from. "In essence, the threats were
related to getting the music off the Internet or they were going to kill her," police
spokesman Sgt. Rick Martinez said. "We can't validate how serious they are, but we do
take it seriously."
