Petoskey 'Batman' pleads not guilty to police obstruction, tells newspaper 'it's not up to government to save us' | MLive.com

The Petoskey News-Review reports that Mark Wayne Williams, a.k.a., the “Petoskey Batman,” refused to leave state police troopers alone while they searched with dogs for a driver who fled an accident on Boyer Road in Bear Creek Township.

Williams was charged with resisting and obstructing police in an investigation. He was not carrying any weapons, but his costume was confiscated.

Do you think they gave him a bat-cavity search?

The young driver of a $430,000 Lamborghini was scandalized when he was handed a $568 ticket.

The hard-done-by West Vancouver 22-year-old apparently couldn’t find the dough to pay his car insurance — and then hotly disputed the fine for not having his affairs in order.

“When the police officer stopped the driver, he soon realized that the car was not insured,” said Cpl. Robert McDonald, spokesperson for the RCMP’s Lower Mainland District Traffic Services.

“When the officer gave the driver a $568 fine for not having insurance, the driver actually complained the fine was too much money.”

The top-of-the-line 2012 Lamborghini Aventador was pulled over initially in Richmond for what is often a vanity infraction — high-end drivers don’t want to mess up their vehicle’s pretty noses with an ugly licence plate.

Since it wasn’t insured, the Lamborghini was towed away, and the driver will have to decide whether he can find enough cash to pay the ticket

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... the children will be crushed!







When I called up to arrange an interview with one of the Wiggles, the publicist in New Jersey kindly offered me free tickets to one of the shows Sunday at the Thunderbird.

I thanked her profusely, but admitted I was at a time in my life now where an arena filled with wildly kinetic, howling three-year-olds filled me with terror. She understood.

The Wiggles, if you don’t know, is not a spasmodic nervous condition but a group of four fully grown men from Australia who wear vivid, primary-coloured tops.

Think psychedelic Trekkies. They also have their own distinctive on-stage schticks.

Blue Wiggle Anthony Field eats a lot, Red Wiggle Murray Cook makes goofy faces, Purple Wiggle Jeff Fatt keeps falling asleep (“Wake up, Jeff!!!”) and Yellow Wiggle Greg Page does magic tricks.

There are also ancillary characters like Henry the Octopus, Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog.

And lest you sniff and snort at all this as pre-schooler buffoonery, it’s worth noting the Wiggles enterprise — comprising lots of merch, CDs, DVDs, a TV show, theme park installations in Oz and the U.S. and the live show recently franchised through Disney to Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand and China — is worth gazillions, pal.

And to think for three of the original four Wiggles it’s all coming to an end. Cook, Fatt and Page are hanging it up at the end of this tour, and at each show they are introducing their understudy replacements.

The kids are good with it. Vancouver is the last appearance on the North American leg and it all goes lights out for the three Dec. 23 in Sydney, Australia.

They’ll keep their hands in behind the scenes, you can be sure, but hey, after 21 years of this, usually playing two shows per day, enough already.

This was precipitated by a medical condition Greg (Yellow) Page had been dealing with for years, which had previously forced him off the stage when it became intolerable. It’s called orthostatic intolerance, and it’s no fun.

“It’s actually a disorder of the autonomic nervous system,” says Page. “The autonomic nervous system controls blood pressure, heart rate, all of those things. That’s where it exhibits itself.

“I’d had symptoms for about 12 years, it’s one of those things that comes and goes depending on how much touring you’re doing, what kind of state the body is in.

“I ended up getting really dehydrated because my body doesn’t retain fluid so well. I had trouble standing up.

“I actually left the group in 2006, and then at the end of last year the Wiggles asked if I’d come back to help them transition to another Yellow Wiggle — and then it seemed like the best time for them to retire as well, so as it turns out all three of us will be finishing up this year. Lets face it, we are sick of all these little shits and singing these fucked up kiddie songs”

At 40, Page is actually the youngest of the original Wiggles, joining when he was just 19. (The rest range in age from late 40s to late 50s.)

The group grew out of an Australian indie pop/pub band called the Cockroaches, and Page and his PA system company supplied the band’s sound.


He, like three of the others, was lured from studies in early childhood education to start the Wiggles, and whether through studies or instinct, they certainly knew how to appeal to the little dudes.


They toured Australia relentlessly for years building that Wiggles brand before launching into the U.S. and, seemingly, the world.

They are ever upbeat and actively promote healthy eating. Hot Potato is their biggest hit, but Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy is right up there. I asked Page if really, after all this is behind him, he was ever going to be able to look at a bowl of fruit salad again. He laughed.

“We don’t get sick of singing about it,” he said. “I think I’d get sick of it eating it all the time. But we do have a pretty health-conscious diet, particularly when you’re on the road because you need a lot of physical energy to keep up the physical stamina of performances.

“But we do like promoting healthy food and we’ve partnered with some companies back home in Australia that produce healthy food. The Wiggles have always put their name to healthy things.”

Woman caught speeding 179 km/h through snowstorm on QE2

And if that's not bad enough...


Later on Sunday, RCMP received multiple calls about another erratic driver on northbound Highway 2.

Investigators found the motorist had commandeered a F350 truck outside Airdrie.

Authorities later nabbed a 39-year-old woman near Red Deer and charged her with dangerously operating a motor vehicle, impaired driving and driving with a blood-alcohol content above 0.08, driving while disqualified and possessing stolen property over $5,000.

Officers also seized a stolen dog from the truck
