The Burbank Follower, Vol. 2, No. 19

Good God. I've taken so much time off from writing this silly blog, that I've gotten out of the habit. Well, damnit, no more. And now, for your irregularly updated listing of all news Burbank:

BURBANK TO OHIO - $10
Really. A new airline called Skybus is offering $10 one-way fares from Bob Hope Airport to Columbus. If you have no burning desire to see Ohio's capital city, you can jet on to points further east for an additional $10. Getting back will cost a bit more, though. LA Times. Reno Gazette Journal.

ST. JOE'S NURSES MARCH FOR HIGHER WAGES
Nurses and other staffers marched outside Providence St. Joseph Medical Center Tuesday in an attempt to pursude hospital management that increased wages equate to better patient care.
in unison for fair wages and continued high-quality patient care. Leader.

MIDDLE SCHOOLERS LEARN ABOUT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Nearly a third of John Muir Middle School's student body, about 500 students, stayed home Tuesday to memorialize the 1.5 million Armenians killed by the Turkish government during the first World War. Those left in school saw a presentation on remembering all genocide. Leader.

[Interestingly, this has been an interesting week for all things Armenian genocide related. There has been quite a bit of hub (and bub) regarding an article about the genocide killed (or spiked, in journo-speak) due to supposed bias on the part of the Armenian reporter, Mark Arax. LA Observed.]
