OAK HILL -- The weekly Observer newspaper wrote a story about the changing of the police guard in Oak Hill. Problem is, the Observer wasn't at Monday's special meeting and hasn't been for weeks.
The Observer used facts eerily similar to what NSBNews.net had reported such as the policing being taken over by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office at 7:15 p.m. and Commissioner Dough Gibson collecting guns, ammo and keys from embattled Police Chief Diane Young and the other officers.
Of course, in typical Observer fashion, they got their facts wrong, erroneously stating that City Clerk/Administrator Laura Goodearly was fired after Gibson collected the police items. They also got the decade wrong that Young admitted to using cocaine, stating it was in the 1970s, when in fact, it was during the mid-1980s.
Then again, it doesn't matter whether the Observer reports its news first hand or not because its sole reporter, Robert Burns, takes a gazillion photos which annoys the hell out of everyone and nods off when he occasionally shows up.
This is the same Observer that claims its place in New Smyrna Beach via a post office box, but in reality is operated out of the publisher's house in Edgewater.
