Local boy makes good

We all know about Jeff Koons, York County native, artist.

Well, he's no starving artist.

His sculpture, "Hanging Heart," a nine-foot-tall, 3,500-pound bright magenta red stainless steel heart hanging from a golden bow, sold this week for a record $23.6 million.

It is the most expensive piece by a living artist ever sold, according to the Sotheby's auction house.

Barry Bonds and Dover: The connection.

| | Comments (2)

So the feds have indicted home run king Barry Bonds on perjury and obstruction of justice charges, the result of a four-year-long investigation.

Didn't see that coming.

You know all about that. But what's interesting is that, if you recall, a couple of years ago, a couple of former Dover Area school board members were accused, by a federal judge, of lying in court in the as-seen-on-TV Dover Panda Trial.

The judge, in his devastating opinion, pretty much said that the former school board members committed perjury, lying under oath specifically about the purchase of the unintelligent design books that appeared in the Dover High library.

Whatever happened with that?
