MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 UCW 27 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication Dreams really DO come true A janitor at Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, may have hit the jackpot on April 26 when he discovered $325,000 worth of gold bars in a garbage bin. Investigators told e Korea Times they believe two men were transporting the gold, wrapped in newspapers, from Hong Kong to Japan, and threw away the stash for fear of being searched by customs agents. If the owner doesn't make a claim in six months, the janitor will get the gold, thanks to South Korea's "finders-keep- ers" law. However, if the treasure is found to be linked to criminal activity, the janitor will not be entitled to any of it. [e Korea Times, 4/30/2018] Indecent exposure Neighbors of the "Pooperintendent," a New Jersey school superintendent nabbed for repeatedly defecating on a high school running track, were nonplussed by the news. omas Tra- maglini, 42, superintendent of schools in nearby Kenilworth, was charged April 30 in Holmdel, New Jersey, Mu- nicipal Court for defecating in public, lewdness and littering after being caught on surveillance video relieving himself on a daily basis during his run at the Holmdel High School track. e track is about 3 miles from Tramaglini's home in Aberdeen. But neighbors told NJ.com that Tramaglini always struck them as a nice guy – "Except for poop- ing on the field," one added. Another dismissed all the attention: "If he wasn't a super, this wouldn't even be news." [NJ.com, 5/4/2018] That's one way to do it When Leroy Mason, 68, of Barton, Vermont, takes care of a problem, he doesn't do things halfway. On April 30, as his smoke detector blared yet again, Mason aimed his 20-gauge shotgun at the cursed piece of electronics and fired twice. Unfortunately, the shots also hit the adjoining wall of an oc- cupied apartment. Fire and EMS crews called to the scene had been before, according to a Vermont State Police news release quoted by Boston25 News, as "Mr. Mason has complained in the past about frequent false alarms ... and was upset that fire crews would not relocate the detector. Mr. Mason took it upon himself to relocate the smoke detector ..." When first respond- ers relieved him of his shotgun, Ma- son rearmed himself with a Colt .45 handgun and demanded his shotgun back. Mason was finally subdued and charged with aggravated assault with a weapon and reckless endangerment.

Question: "Designated Survivor" was appointment TV for us – I say was, be- cause we never watched it again after the winter hiatus. Seeing that it didn't get renewed, what do you think was the primary cause of death? e long hiatus, the first lady's death, or the con- stant churn behind the scenes? – Unsigned Matt Roush: My own take on "Desig- nated Survivor" was that soon after its gripping pilot episode, the show never really figured out what it wanted to be: a political procedural, a conspiracy thriller, a family drama. e elements didn't mesh easily – or worse, authen- tically – and I never felt the series truly lived up to its intriguing premise of an unlikely leader rebuilding a gov- ernment after a horrific attack. ABC's decision to put the show on ice for so long didn't help, and killing the first lady seemed a needless tragedy and a desperate call for attention. So I'd think all of those elements, along with disap- pointing second-season ratings, led ABC to conclude there wasn't much growth potential here. I can't disagree. Question: Why does Kiefer Sutherland whisper so much? – H.M. Matt Roush: On the bright side, you won't have to put up with it any more. I always felt Kiefer Sutherland's quiet intensity worked well for Jack Bauer. For a commander in chief, maybe not so much.

Netflix's top-notch adaptation of the 2014 flick just unveiled Season 2, and while noth- ing is black or white for Sam (Logan Browning) and her fellow students at Winchester University, the sharply written social satire is every shade of insightful. Cheers to NBC for enrolling in a second semester of "A.P. Bio." e network showed some real smarts by renewing the comedy, led by Glenn Howerton, about a disgruntled genius doing his worst to not mold a bunch of unimpressed overachievers' young minds. Gold stars for everyone!
