!
Aunt Bea is at it Again!!
Real Pie, or Fake Pie...That is the Question...
The town of Mayberry has been full of whispers
and rumors the past few days. As many people
already know Aunt Bea has been selling her world
famous blueberry pies for the past year. Demand
for the pies has been high. Neighbors and friends
line up in the wee hours of the morning just for a
chance at purchasing one of Aunt Beas delicious
pies.

The town went into a state of chaos last Saturday

though, when someone accused Aunt Bea of
buying pre made pies at the grocery store and
selling them as her own. A source who we will
refer to as Bill said, I was waitin for some yummy
pie and I happened to look to Aunt Beas trash and
there I saw it, Bill fought back tears as he
continued, it was a brown box that said Wal-Mart
on it and had a picture of a blueberry pie!

This isnt the first time Aunt Bea has been in the hot seat when it comes to her pies. As
I am sure we all remember, last April Aunt Bea was accused of using pre made crusts
on her pies instead of homemade. This rumor was found to be true when Aunt Bea
herself came forward. She made a public apology and promised to cook her own
crust.

We confronted Aunt Bea with these rumors and she adamantly denied them. Rumors
like these are preposterous. Yes I used store bought crusts last April, but I have been
nothin but honest with my pie makin since, Aunt Bea said. She claims the box Bill
claimed to have seen in her trash was actually her neighbor's trash. Aunt Bea claimed
that her neighbor and her have shared a trash can since there's blew away in the last
twister. Aunt Bea ended her interview with a message for the town, I love makin pies.
I love makin people happy. I would never jeopardize that by lying to yall. I work day
and night makin my pies and Im proud of em! I wont let a silly rumor bring me
down!

Aunt Beas pies are delicious but, are they to delicious? Could they be store bought or
is one of Aunt Beas customers angry he couldnt get his hands on a pie. That is up to
the individual to decide. Until then the town will still be filled with the sweet scent of
blueberry pie!

More Clues on the Sheriff

It should have been a typical quite night in Mayberry. Unfortunately, it was not.
Deputy Fife still has not been able to locate the missing Sheri. All they know is he
went missing, after he responded to a break in at the Old Simmons Mansion. That
building has been the speculation of hauntings, after the gruesome murder of Old Man
Simmons. It has also been the gathering place for every ghost hunting crew out there.
The Sheri`s Department has responded to several reported break ins, and reported
spurious activity. It had gained popularity, after appearing on the Travel Channels Ghost
Adventures series. The new owner of the Mansion, Lucy Ricardo, has been reported to
have made thousands of dollars in fees she has charged for allowing filming within the
mansion prosperity.

The Sheri`s Department has declined to give up to much information, fearing it

would hinder the search. They did say, however, that people of interest will be named.
The group known as Mystery Incorporated has been named as a person or persons of
interest. So has the owner of the Simmons Mansion, Lucy Ricardo. Where is the
Sheri? Who would have taken him? Why would they have taken him? What other
reason may there be for his disappearance?

Otis: One Too Many

On September 17, 2014, Otis locked his keys in his car. He was trying to get in his car
to drive to the jailafter having one too many beers. Thankfully he was not able to drive.
Lucky for Otis, he was in the parking lot of Goobers shop (town mechanic). Goober
was outside talking to Deputy Fife when they noticed Otis trying to get into his car.
Goober and Deputy Fife walked over to Otis. The first thing Otis said was, take me to
jail Deputy Fife. Deputy Fife complied with
Otis request and walked him over to the jail
next door. Otis was happy that the deputy
took him to jail, telling him, Aww thank you
this is my home away from home. While
Deputy Fife and Otis were at the jail, Goober
was trying to get the keys out the car, and
wouldnt you know the car door was never
locked. Otis just had one too many to realize
that he was not pulling on the handle the
correct way.
