Dozens of tubes stolen from W. Pa. snow resort

SOMERSET, Pa.

State police say a thief or thieves apparently are hoping to slip away on 62 snow tubes stolen from a southwestern Pennsylvania ski resort.

Police in Somerset say the tubes were stolen from a shed at the snow-tubing park at the Hidden Valley Resort in Jefferson Township, near Somerset. That’s about 65 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Police say someone stole the tubes between Tuesday and Saturday.

The shed is near the resort’s Black Diamond Restaurant.

South Africa’s ANC deplores ... sushi on models in bikinis?

JOHANNESBURG

South Africa’s governing party has pronounced: eating sushi off the body of a model in a bikini is politically incorrect.

A statement Monday from African National Congress secretary general Gwede Mantashe is unequivocal:

“This act is anti-ANC and anti- revolutionary. This act is defamatory, insensitive and undermining of woman’s integrity.”

The fish-on-flesh question has raged in South African media in recent months after reports of the practice at parties of wealthy businessmen and socialites.

Earlier Monday, Johannesburg newspapers reported the head of the ANC’s powerful youth league had attended such a party over the weekend.

Mantashe adds: “The ANC is not into nightclubs or partying, but it is a revolutionary movement.”
