* The Gazette trivia contest #2 is now in the books. Readers were asked to answer this question: Name the most talked about and infamous local celebrity in the Linglestown area.

Answers received were Frank Cotolo, Christian Malesic, Eric Epstein and Speedo Man of Jerome Blvd. The correct answer is of course Speedo Man. Click HERE and HERE for Gazette posts that mention the sometimes scantily clad man.

Sorry to say ladies that the man pictured in this post is NOT our beloved Speedo Man ... at least I don't think so. (I only look at him out of the side of my eye.)

The following six Gazette readers won a prize – CONGRATULATIONS!! … Kim Mumper, Pegge Tennant, Harrison Michelson, Tom Vernau, Thom Bettinger and Rob Nease.

* School news … A Central Dauphin kindergarten teacher wins a national award that came with a big cash prize.

* Crime watch … Lower Paxton Township police release photos of armed robbery suspect at the Turkey Hill Mini Market on Locust Lane.
