There's a paperboy riding through the streets of Genessia flinging newspapers onto doorsteps or, if you're unlucky, through your window.

Schnee Company Attleton: A driving force?
It seems like a surge of interest in Schnee Company employment opportunities and services needed have given Nova City's Guardian and corporate big dog Weiss Schnee a call. Attleton will have a new branch of Schnee Company added near its gate entrance. The new branch promises to offer a focus on modern skills needed for continued technology level adjustment as well as safety and driving courses. Most residents have either come in with the ability to drive or learned from a friend, but Schnee Company now offers safe and sanctioned ways to learn to drive and earn your license- a new way for people who have never been around cars to gain equal access to travel, or even just for the younger population to learn a skill they haven't yet gotten around to. Schnee Company's Attleton branch also places a focus on people learning foundational skills like Science, Technology, Language Arts, and Mathematics and has referral services to get potential students to the right school regardless of archway for what they need. This is all in addition to their normally offered travel and informational services provided at every branch.
Attleton's Schnee Company branch and HQ are both hiring interested parties. Contact CEO Weiss Schnee for more information.
The Puppet Master Revealed!
In a shocking turn of events, the current mayor of Everglade has been arrested this weekend on enslavement, endangerment of lives, negligence, possession of controlled substances, and drug use when he signed a confession claiming responsibility for brainwashing the former mayor. In his confession letter, he states he gained the assistance from unnamed witches and mages to craft the plan in order to steal the top spot. After seeing the damage he wrought upon the citizens of Everglade by having the former mayor release prisoners, having claimed they were wrongfully imprisoned, with the disappearance of residents which included children, he confessed. Upon arrest at his home, the police found evidence of narcotics use.
As his last act, he has signed away and passed on all mayoral rights and duties to the Deputy Guardian, Oswald Cobblepot, as a way to atone, in a small way, for his incredulous and selfish actions.
The former mayor will be released from jail and all charges will be dropped.
Here is commentary from the Guardian Sutcliff on the matter:
- "While I'm utterly as surprised and shocked as the rest of the public, we still have to clean up his mess and make Everglade better than ever, so it's business as usual. Mister Cobblepot, myself, and Deputy Marco will work tirelessly to serve and protect the public."
Eyes continue to focus on Everglade and its future. Could we perhaps, with this shift in power, see better times?

Title: Fairy Tail lives!
Info: Following the return of some of one of its most prominent members, the offworlder magic guild known as 'Fairy Tail,' based out of the sprawling estate in Fayren known as "Fairy Haven," has officially announced that it is once again accepting recruits and contracts.
Guildmaster Mavis Vermillion, whom this paper has interviewed in the past during the Hands of Decay's reign of terror, released the following statement: “People of Genessia have come to know me and my guildmates for a while now. They know we’re serious and reliable, and that we’ll do our best to fulfill every contract we’re given. Of course, if we start getting a lot of work, we’d be happy to provide a job and appropriate training to anyone who can demonstrate they share the values of Fairy Tail, namely: be faithful, be loyal, like teamwork… and strawberry cheesecake!”
Fairy Tail, like all licensed magic guilds in their world, will accept any contract within the bounds of the law for a price, and specializes in bringing criminals to justice alive. Mages who wish to join the ranks of the guild are encouraged to get in touch with Mavis Vermillion or Erza Scarlet in Fayren, at Fairy Haven.

Puzzle Corner #3
When the moving coin ends up on the opposite side of the other coin from where it began, it was only rolled the distance of half of its circumference. Yet the coin undergoes a complete rotation. With that in mind, a coin makes two complete rotations when rolled around an identical coin.
