* 11:25 p.m. - Police determined people throwing food on cars at a College Street parking lot were determined to be members of a college lacrosse team goofing off. (So that's an alibi?)
* 2:23 p.m. - A West Street woman told police a man entered her home, took her phone and then replaced it with another phone. Police said there is no evidence such an incident occurred. (But is there any evidence that it didn't occur?)
* 8:56 a.m. - A North East Street resident reported an opossum got inside the chicken coop. (What are the laws on the books for this sort of thing? Should there be WANTED posters for animals?)
* 11:40 p.m. - Police kept the peace after a mother and daughter got into an argument over homework at Echo Village Apartments. (The police agreed to do the homework in exchange for coffee.)
* 1:27 a.m. - A woman seen streaking on Rolling Green Drive was not found by police. (Despite their arrival at the scene within two minutes of the call.)
* 2:48 a.m. - Two men running with ladders on North Pleasant Street near Phillips Street were gone when police got there.(An hour later two homes were robbed with the burglars inexplicably gaining access through second story windows.)
* 9:05 p.m. - Police determined that a Taylor Street woman's complaints about neighbors snowblowing snow onto her house and windows were not legitimate. Strong gusts of wind were determined to be responsible for the snow hitting her house.(Allegations that neighbors were shining bright lights into her house were determined to be caused by the sun.)

Jim, great to see one of my all time favorite Gazette photos on the web. My formative years (high school)were largely spent hanging out in the parking lot of "The Cow" here in Easthampton. "The Cow" was our nickname for the Crystal Springs Dairy Bar here in town which one of a small chain based in Belchertown. The shops all sported those giant roof top cows. At some point the Belchertown shop must have transformed into Maygold. Whew! H
I, along with many new and old friends, lived across from "the cows" for years at what is now a sports shop. Cool picture. The family that owned the business when it was called the Crystal Springs Dairy Bar were very nice people, a lot of us (mostly UMASS students) ended up working for them. Brings back some fine memories!
