The average gas price for Newark is down to $2.79 a gallon. It needs to drop about another dollar and it would be good!
I hope your Christmas shopping is getting done as you are running out of time. It will be here before you know it.
Today marked the 30th anniversary of what is described as "a year of fear" for Newark. From Dec. 10, 1977, to Dec. 10, 1978, two brothers -- Gary Lewingdon, of Kirkersville, and Thaddeus Lewingdon, of Glenford -- committed 10 random murders, typically during home invasions on a Friday or Saturday night. They are known as the .22 Caliber Killers because of their choice of weapon. Together, the men killed 10 people, shooting their victims multiple times. You can read more of this story in December 10th's edition of the Newark Advocate, or online at http://www.newarkadvocate.com/. Later

Great blog post! Just one thing, what ever happend to the two shooters?
Thanks
They were caught when Gary tried to use a credit card that was stolen from one of the victims. On Dec. 10, 1978, Gary Lewingdon was charged with 20 felony counts, while Thaddeus was hit with 17.
The brothers died in prison: Thaddeus in 1989 from lung cancer and Gary in 2004 from heart failure.
