THIS is TRUE:   HER BURNING DESIRE: When Anne Semenovich, 74, of Spruce Grove, B.C., Canada, told scrap metals yard owner Vic Small why she wanted to purchase an incinerator from him, he didn't believe it. "She said she wanted to burn her husband there," he said later. Thinking she wasn't "all there," he instead dealt with her daughter, Laurie. Later, Laurie called for him to check the machine because it wasn't working. When he arrived and looked inside, Small found Alex Semenovich, 77, Anne's husband of 50 years, stuffed inside. Prosecutors say Anne shot her husband in the head, and then recruited her grandson and Laurie to help move the body. But after dragging the 240-pound man to the incinerator, it apparently wouldn't start, so they called Small, who called police.  Semenovich was charged with first-degree murder, and surprised the court by pleading guilty to manslaughter. She was sentenced to the minimum, 4 years in prison. (MS/Vancouver Sun) ... For sale: one incinerator, only used once. Recommended for disposal of objects less than 240 pounds.   SO MANY TAX DOLLARS, SO LITTLE TIME: A woman went to a grocery store in Grand Rapids, Mich., and purchased 42 bottles and cans of soda. She charged them to her Bridge Card, a federally funded debit card that's managed by the state for use by public assistance recipients. She then took her purchase directly to the store's automated redemption machine, and fed all 42 containers, unopened, into the machine. Inside, they all exploded as they were crushed, spreading soda and debris inside the machine and all over the surrounding floor. She then pocketed $4.20 for the returns, and left. Store manager Steve Holland said he called the State, and was told the customer did not violate Bridge Card rules.  (JW/WOOD-TV) ... Next, she'll be back for a cash refund on already-chewed gum.   ANTI-ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR: Liz Klein, the principal of Osbourne Primary School in Mt. Martha, Vic., Australia, had a problem with "anti-social behaviour" at her school, so she fixed it -- by banning socializing.  Large groups of students were, according to her, "entertaining themselves at other kids' expense," So, her new rule prohibits students from being in groups of more than three. She claims the school of 600 students doesn't have a bullying problem, just large packs of students aggravating other students. "So, we thought if we just came up with an idea of stopping the groups, it could stop the problem," she said. "It seems to be working." (MS/Melbourne Herald Sun) ... Luckily, with the short-term success there's no chance that curing anti-social behaviour with anti-social rules will cause any long-term effects.   WE KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU (NO. 7,639 IN A LONG SERIES): With "zero tolerance" policies, schools are quick to call in police for even minor alleged infractions of their rules. Central High School in Muncie, Ind., went the other way: when a student came to the office to report she had been dragged into a school restroom and raped, school officials refused to call in the police -- not even the police detective at the school working security. Instead, the 16-year-old girl was told to write a report on the crime, and then sat for 2-1/2 hours waiting for a Youth Opportunity Centre employee to come get her. The YOC worker wasn't informed of the nature of the call until she arrived; she took she girl to the hospital, and doctors there immediately called police.  "There has to be some basis for which to notify the police," said school superintendent Eric King. "They are investigating to determine if there was an incident," hence the written report. A police investigator said the four-hour delay in getting detectives involved left "too big a chance of losing critical evidence." A prosecutor said he was "extremely uncomfortable" with the school trying to take on a criminal investigation by itself, and that the school had an "absolute duty under the law" to bring in the police. (RC/Muncie Star Press) ... They'll consider that request. Maybe.
