Woman spends thousands in taxpayer money on a psychic
Though Shelly R. Elkins, 34, of 218 Paradise Road, Industry, promised to pay back as much money as she could to the borough, it’s unlikely she’ll make much of a dent in her debt, which amounts to more than $200,000.
Elkins said she’s currently being paid minimum wage for a part-time job at the Center Township Eat’n Park.
Beaver County Senior Judge George James gave Elkins at least a chance to pay back some of the money. As he sentenced Elkins on Wednesday to between 11½ and 23½ months in the Beaver County Jail, followed by five years’ probation, he said she could be on work release, to continue earning an income. She had pleaded guilty to a single felony count of theft.
In all, state police said Elkins stole nearly $215,000 from the borough, between the beginning of 2005 and near the end of 2007. They alleged Elkins used the money on vacations, pet-related items, credit card bills, utilities and other personal expenses.
James said the county’s adult probation office will determine the exact amount of restitution that Elkins will be required to pay. Though she said she disputed some of the numbers contained in an auditor’s report that listed the money taken, she admitted that she took nearly all of the money.
Defense attorney Myron Sainovich said Elkins, who has no prior criminal record, didn’t use the money to fund a lavish lifestyle.
Elkins said there’s no jewelry, no luxury items that she could sell to pay back the debt. The only item prosecutors were able to seize was a Ford Mustang that Elkins bought for $6,000 using borough money.
“I understand what I did was wrong,” Elkins said. “I hurt so many people doing this.”
Beaver County Assistant District Attorney Kevin Kindred said Elkins’ actions “devastated a lot of people.”
James said he reserved the right to reconsider Elkins’ sentence if she doesn’t live up to her promise to start paying money back.
Last month, Industry Council President Keith Hohenshel said the borough has already received $40,000 in insurance money, but doubted that much of the rest of the money could be recouped.
Elkins acknowledged Wednesday that she could face a civil lawsuit from the insurance company, as it seeks to get its money back as well.
Hohenshel said new procedures have been put into place to prevent future thefts, including stapling receipts to checks and keeping better track of purchase orders.
Wednesday, Industry Police Chief Garold Miller said that he and the current borough secretary, Kimberly A. Kelley, conducted an extensive investigation of borough financial records in the wake of Elkins’ theft.
Miller said there was no evidence that anyone else in the borough was involved in the thefts.

Takanakuy Festival at risk? – Strange Events
Did you ever heard about “Takanakuy”? Did you have wanted the opportunity to straight up your differences with somebody you knew in a fight, enjoin a good food, special dress, dance and booze? Well a lot people call that Saturday night.
Chumbivilcas is a province in the Andes, South Peru, and according to the Peru 2005 Census 77,721 inhabitants, rural communities families with eight and more children are not unusual, one of the poorest regions of the country.
The people in the province are mainly indigenous citizens of Quechua descent.
Takanakuy Festival for beginners
Each December 25th part of the population from Chumbivilcas Province reunite to the Takanakuy “festival”, where participants practice of fighting fellow community members.
The practice started in Santo Tomás, the capital of Chumbivilcas, and has now spread to other villages and cities, the prominent ones being Cuzco and Lima.
The festival consists of dancing and of individuals fighting each other to settle old conflicts or simply to display their manhood.
Those holding the grudges call out their opponents by their first and last name.
Kicking and punching are allowed in the middle of the circle. Biting, hitting those on the ground, or pulling hair is not allowed during the fight, this is a civilized community!
Although the government of Lima has tried to eradicate Takanakuy Festival, the celebration has diffused into urban areas such as Cuzco and Lima.
People of non-indigenous descent are now taking part in this originally indigenous cultural custom, yeah, why not?
Then everybody goes drinking to numb the pain and move on to a new year.
Now serious, tells us, don’t you have a co-worker, neighbor, a church member you have a beef with?
Really?
Polish company to brew beer from a Czech model’s vagina bacteria
Polish brewery company launched a crowdfunding for its attempt to brew beer from a Czech model’s vagina bacteria.
There are large number of bizarre ingredients used in the manufacture of craft beers, but use a formula from a vaginal bacteria stands out in the crowd.
Warsaw-based The Order of Yoni — “Yoni” being a Sanskrit word for “vagina” — is seeking to raise about U$170,000 (£118,000 or 150,000 Euros) with an IndieGoGo campaign for Bottled Instinct, a beer brewed using lactic acid bacteria collected from the vagina of Alexandra Brendlova.
The Order of Yoni says the initial run of beers would include sour ales, lambics, flanders ales and sour stouts. Each bottle of beer will be stamped with Brendlova’s name as well as “the date of the collection of her vaginal swab.” Also it will brew six batches of 16,600 beers each, with funds going towards the ‘brewing process, ingredients and bottles’ decorations’.
The money will also cover the ‘model’s reward’ and a budget for the ‘perks’ offered to investors. However, there is no detail provided as to the breakdown of the costs.
The beers do not, however, feature the taste or odor of a vagina, the brewers say.
The company says their future plans include brewing other types of beers using bacteria harvested from other woman, as well as other products incorporating said bacteria including kefirs and yogurts.
Not as strange as vagina bacteria beer
In 2012 an Oregon brewery, developed a drink that led, among the ingredients, beard strands of his brewmaster. The drink was sold, including in other countries.
