Seed program in Cleveland quietly closes center
The Seed Inc unorthodox drug treatment program which served hundreds of Cleveland youths since 1975 closed its center at the former St Anthony's Home for Boys. Staff returned to Fort Lauderdale with remaining clients, and no official reason was given. The program operated without local supervision and drew criticism that youths were brainwashed, though Case Western Reserve University psychiatrist Dr. David G Logan noted high rehabilitation rates in the Cleveland cohort. A Youth Commission official, who sent four youths to Seed, lamented the brainwashing charge but cited a $5,000 fee as a barrier to more referrals.

West Point Cadet Steals Navy Goat For Week Long Farm Stay
West Point sophomore cadet Garon Reeves abducted the Navy goat Bill XXI and hid it at Tony Schleiser’s upstate dairy farm for a month. Navy officials consider possible confinement to quarters and travel restrictions as Reeves faces demerits, walking tours, and penalties tied to the Army Navy mascot exchange. Lucy Schleiser, the farmer’s daughter, dated Reeves and helped arrange the stay, with her sister Theresa taking care of the goat in return for attending the Army Navy game. The prank relies on a long standing team mascot rivalry and is constrained by an interservice agreement prohibiting mascot thefts.
