Published May 26, 2009 10:23 am - Dozens of men in the Harrisburg area community of Camp Hill have teamed up for a good cause and put their best feet forward — in women's shoes.

The need to economize in this tough economy may have hit a man who needed to save some money on a robbery disguise.

And a New York toddler still in diapers has a growing reputation as a pool shark with a mean bank shot — even though he has to stand on a chair to reach the table.




Mid-Daily Items: Walking a mile in her shoes



Dozens of men in the Harrisburg area community of Camp Hill have teamed up for a good cause and put their best feet forward — in women's shoes.

Frank Baird is the founder of the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes march. He says it's an international men's movement that aims to stop violence against women.

About 40 men wore footwear including fluffy red marabou slippers with 2-inch heels for the Memorial Day march.

Monday's fundraiser generated about $5,000 for Rape Crisis of Cumberland County and Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland and Perry counties.

- The need to economize in this tough economy may have hit a man who needed to save some money on a robbery disguise.

Police in Nebraska are now looking for the man who stole cigarettes while disguising himself with a beer carton on his head.

Lincoln police Capt. Bob Kawamoto says the man walked into a Kwik Shop convenience store before dawn Monday wearing an empty Bud Light box on his head as a mask.

Kawamoto says the man also had wrapped something around one of his hands, suggesting he was armed. But the man never showed a weapon.

Police said the bandit left with nine packs of smokes valued at nearly $50.

Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said Tuesday morning that the robbery was captured on video. She said the man also dropped the empty 12-pack box as he fled, and it will be checked for fingerprints.

- A project involving conservationists and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists is looking for a few dozen people willing to howl like wolves in Maine's North Woods.

The Wolf Inquiry Project plans to conduct "howling surveys" in several areas this summer in hopes of discovering whether wolves are resettling in Maine.

The Bangor Daily News said coordinators are seeking individuals willing to spend a night howling in the woods and who won't be scared off if they get a response.
