The News Herald covers The Franklin Fine Arts Council naming John McConnell as the 2008 Artist of the year which, to me, is pretty weird since we're not even half done with 2008.

The Titusvlle Herald announces:
For the first time in the Titusville High School Art Show's eight years, a special exhibit of an array of art donated by renowned artist Gerson Leiber will be on display in conjunction with the show [scheduled for Thursday 6:30 - 8 pm in the school's gym].
Awkwardly, it also suggests that a student from the "University of Pittsburgh at Titusville's master of library science program" is acting a consultant. Although Pitt has a fine MLIS program, the MLS at Pitt-Titusville is a program that doesn't actually seem to exist.
Boy, I'm on a roll today, huh?
