The man with a limp walks into the deli.
He says his name is Work. It’s more than a name, it’s also his game.
What happens next? That’s up to crime-fiction author and Johnstown resident, John L. Work, who has published several electronic “e-book” novels.

Kids and guns: two cases, one tragedy
By Matt Lubich/The Johnstown Breeze
MILLIKEN – With the first month of the new year not even over, police are troubled by two recent cases involving teens and guns, one that ended in the death of a 19-year-old male.
According to police, the .45-caliber handgun Otoniel ‘Oton’ Rodriguez accidently shot himself with earlier this month was stolen from an unlocked vehicle in July and had been circulating in the community since then.
Milliken Police Chief and Town Administrator Jim Burack said police do not believe Rodriguez stole the weapon.

Marked for beauty
By Mary Eileen Finch/For The Johnstown Breeze“Just look at those ugly stretch marks!” the mirror sneers as I hurriedly change my clothes. No matter how hard I try to avoid looking, my eyes always seem to wander to my disappointing reflection staring back at me.
“You’re disfigured and they’ll never go away you know. Never.” Tears pool in my eyes as I try to shut out the hurtful thoughts. I glance in the glass though and agree. I’m hideous. My torso is marked all over from three pregnancies, scars that seem to burn and scream, “You’ll never be attractive again.”
I pull on my clothes and breathe a sigh of relief. Clothes have become my mask and my shield, for with them on I feel normal and I can pretend my body is perfect.
