Talladega Nights dominates weekend box office
Will Ferrell's Talladega Nights leads with 47 million in North American ticket sales, followed by Barnyard at 16 million and Pirates of the Caribbean earning 11 million as Hollywood reports a 17 percent rise in box office versus last year. The surge is attributed to Ferrell's NASCAR hit boosting overall attendance. In Wisconsin, inmate Jonathan M. Krueger at the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility faces possible extra time and fines after allegedly squirting urine at a guard in a toothpaste tube. If convicted, he could receive up to 3.5 more years and fines up to 10,000 dollars.

Sunflowers cited for sight obstruction in Tonawanda
Robert Samson faces a court appearance for sight obstruction at the corner of his driveway and sidewalk after neighbors and town officials note the tall sunflowers. Michael Hazen says the busy street requires clear visibility while children collected almost 400 signatures supporting the flowers. Samson argues the blooms do not block view and says he will trim if needed.
