Fireman saves 9 lives
Local firefighter Bob Harwood is resting comfortably at St. Lukes Hospital after breaking his leg saving a cat. The curious kitty, belonging to twins Suzanne and Samantha Decker, found itself stranded in a tree at 102 11th avenue.
Witnesses say Harwood scaled 50 feet up the oak tree for the rescue. However, a mere 15 feet from the ground, dead limbs on the tree could no longer hold and Harwood plummeted to the ground breaking his left leg.
Charlie and Kim Decker, parents of the twin girls whose mischievous feline scaled the tree, said their daughters calico was doing just fine, after landing on Harwood.

Catchy headline. Good story. Though as I said in class, you may want to consider tone.
