The Australian government is after a man who lives in the US because he posts satire on the internet and the kangaroos are offended, a 200-year-old cheese rolling race has been canceled due to health and safety concerns, the Downsizer Dispatch, the NH legislature debates whether to make milk or cider the official drink of the state, and the Venezuelan government wants to crack down on the internet.

Thanks to BJ Wurts for the great letter about his trip to Keene.
The Free Keene Press is going to be looking to expand the amount of pages we have to fill. The next edition will be four pages instead of one. This means I am going to need more Keene-centric content and could use some help with that task. Currently I am paying for the printing costs out of pocket, with the cost going from $70 to $200, I will also need help paying for the printing costs. I am open to the idea of running some ads and pricing is negotiable.
What I am looking for as far as content is:
In terms of the articles I would like to see:
And much more of course. I plan on keeping an open mind as to what gets printed. You can submit an item for consideration by sending an email to press@freekeene.com.
And just to clarify things: By submitting you give the Free Keene Press permission to reprint and edit your item as we see fit. You will not be compensated. You will be credited and if your item is edited a note will be made. Please limit profanity. More than likely if an edit is made it will be for length.
If you have questions please feel free to email the above address.

I was about to sit down and eat my freshly prepared meal when I heard a lady outside yell, “he has a knife.” I turned to the door and a moment later a woman was standing at the entrance announcing, “don’t come outside there is a guy with a knife.”
I exited the Subway and noticed crowd gathered somewhat semi-circle around the entrance of the next door shop, The Apothecary. I started to walk toward the door and a man in a mask burst out of the door. He was carrying a large kitchen knife and what looked like a tan wastebasket or bag. He ran straight to the alleyway next to the shop, I followed him down the length of the alley and into a parking lot. He had dropped his mask mid-way through the alley and his face was clearly visible bearing a distinct grey facial hair pattern. I saw him heading for a waiting vehicle and watched him climb in the front passenger seat of the SUV which contained a driver and perhaps one more in the back. I memorized the license plate and headed back to the shop.
Initial reports indicated that Evan Pierce was released along with Rich Paul and Noah Wood after todays 420 event. I have come to learn that Evan is at the Cheshire County Correctional Facility.
I apologize for the mistake.
This makes 4 total activists in jail.
Six individuals were arrested by police this afternoon at Pumpkin Fest. The daily 420 event was moved to the area directly in front of City Hall due to the massive pumpkin display at Central Square. Rich Paul of Keene took to the megaphone in front a large crowd and at the proper time lit a pipe presumably containing marijuana, a plant. Police quickly surrounded Mr. Paul and placed him under arrest. Noah Wood and Evan Pierce were also seen lighting up and were arrested as well.
Three other individuals were also arrested at city hall, when asked about the charge officers indicated that they did not know why they were arresting the three. A witness reportedly saw one of the individuals attempt to enter the city hall building prompting police to arrest him. It is unknown at this time exactly what happened. Ryan Maddox, Dan Steward and Yadra, all from the Keene area.
Latest update: Rich Paul, Noah Wood and Dan Steward have been released; Ryan Maddox, Evan Pierce and Yadra are reported to be at the Cheshire County Correctional Facility.
