It was approaching the top of the hour when the line of mailboxes would be filled with mail and up for the taking. Our new news girl carefully went inside using with the appropriate key gathering all the vital mail, scooping it in her arms with fellow passerby’s giving warm morning greetings, and holding the door for each other.

The newbie walks to her vehicle to her surprise she notices a mishap…. the keys were not in her hand but dangling like a prize fish from the ignition switch!
“This isn’t happening” she thought. “I have to get this mail to it’s rightful owner’s (aka her work) before it begins to interrupt my break.”

The information began swimming in her mind, as she was enlisting and organizing thoughts of what to do first. “My keys are locked in ..dop…so is my phone.” she thought to herself,- what is a newbie news lady to do in this day? ” She immediately turns to her backwoods instincts and looks for identifying material that may work to pry and prop the door . “I just need to find something to punch that lock!” she said to herself out loud.

Locals reached out to her searching high and low in their truck beds for a miscellanea star of an object to eject those locks.  A SUV owner dug all in with the news girls dilemma, finding a flyswatter with a braided metal end. The newbie stuck the wire in but it still didn’t quite reach and the end just wasn’t quite strong enough to click that button!

Finally, Angel voices were heard behind newbie as she began thinking of alternative words in her head besides the ones she wanted to blurt out.

Hey! Hey, Do you need some help?” the Angels proclaimed.

“What ?”  the newbie replied. “Oh my gosh yes, please!”

Chris and his wife Yazmin approached with his Amazon buy, and got the News Girls doors unlocked! Chris and Yazmin maintained the all around projected flow of business at the KMMO News Station that morning.

“The experience has taught a profound lesson from Saline county, Good Samaritans still exist,” reported Bobbie Jo Carey of the KMMO News Room.
