Will work for crack: Andrew Uitvlugt, candidate for mayor of Kelowna,
British Columbia, proposed in November to coax drug addicts into public
jobs, such as trash collection, by rewarding them with crack cocaine, on the

Hair don'ts: (1) Pontypool, Wales, bus driver Mark Davis had his hair
colored red, with an actual (small) fir Christmas tree woven in, along with
a string of lights (according to a December BBC News report, with photo).
(2) An October profile in the Jamaica Star reported on barber Darain Housen,
40, who is well-known in St. Thomas parish as the guy who has shaped his
bristly hair in the form of a baseball cap, with the bill extending out a
couple of inches over his forehead.
