The Storybrooke Daily Mirror is a newspaper on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the second episode of the first season.
History
After waking up in the newly created Storybrooke, Regina goes to Granny's Diner, where she sits by the counter while a fellow customer is reading the local newspaper. ("Welcome to Storybrooke")
Years later, the Daily Mirror is used by the mayor, Regina, in a smear campaign against Emma to drive her out of town. The previous night Emma had swerved off the road, hitting the Storybrooke sign. Taking advantage of this situation, she has the chief editor, Sidney, write about it in the local newspaper, and claim Emma was intoxicated when she crashed the car. Regina later asks Sidney for an update on any more potential dirt on Emma, but he has been unable to find anything else, so she threatens to fire him for his incompetency. ("The Thing You Love Most")
Out of a place to stay, Emma begins sleeping in her car while looking for open rooms in the town newspaper. Mary Margaret sees Emma spending the night in her car and offers a spare apartment room. Emma turns down the offer; citing herself as not a roommate type. ("Snow Falls")
One morning, Emma is at the diner reading the newspaper and drinking hot cocoa with cinnamon when Regina approaches to let her know that she found out about her history of not living for too long in the same place, indicating that her stay in Storybrooke is temporary and soon to be over. ("The Price of Gold")
Mary Margaret is at the diner, reading the local newspaper, when Dr. Whale shows up and asks if she quit the volunteer position at the hospital because of him. He leaves just as Regina shows up to talk to Mary Margaret about David. ("The Shepherd")
At the diner, Henry, who is reading the town newspaper when Emma comes to see him. She is shocked to discover that she is on the front page, in a story about how she had served time in prison and had given birth to Henry while incarcerated. Emma is mad that Regina had her juvenile records printed in the newspaper and goes to confront the mayor. Emma tells her that it is not good for Henry to see his adopted and natural mother fighting, but Regina says that Henry would have learned eventually. ("Desperate Souls")
After Ruby angrily quits her job as a waitress, Henry checks the Daily Mirror's website and goes over various job listings with Ruby, but she expresses disinterest in all of them. ("Red-Handed")
Regina and Mr. Gold plant a key in Mary Margaret's cell at the sheriff's station; knowing she will likely use it to escape. However, Emma finds and convinces Mary Margaret to return to the cell before eight o'clock the next morning. Regina walks in expecting to see the cell empty, but to her dismay, Mary Margaret is there, reading the local newspaper. ("Hat Trick," "The Stable Boy")
At the docks, Emma is browsing Henry's storybook when August approaches and hands her the latest edition of the newspaper, which has front page news about the murder charges against Mary Margaret. ("The Stable Boy")Front Page Headlines

- Printed on the newspaper in the same section as the price, town name and date, is the tag "Independent and Locally Owned,"[14] which is ironic given the paper's non-independence and subjection to Regina's demands before the curse was broken. ("The Thing You Love Most" et al.)
- During season one, the newspapers do not carry dates. Instead they carry the tag "published daily."[14] ("The Thing You Love Most" et al.)

ALCOHOL INVOLVED
By Michael Wong – staff
Storybrooke, Maine – The "Welcometo Storybrooke" sign on Route 1 was
demolished this morning shortly
after 3 a.m. when a single car
swerved off the road, colliding with
the sign as it came to rest.
Emma Swan, 28, of Boston was
traveling south of Route 1 when she
lost control of her 1979 Volkswagen
Beetle beetle and left the roadway,
Storybrooke Sheriff Graham told.
Earlier that evening, Swan was
seen getting into her vehicle visibly
intoxicated, at which it was
suggested to her that she spend the
night in town, rather than attempt
the drive back to Boston.
According to Sheriff Graham, Swan
claims that she was not drunk and
that she swerved to avoid a large wolf
in the road.
Swan was wearing her seatbelt and
was uninjured.
Swan was taken to the Storybrooke
Sheriff's office where she was treated
and held overnight as a precaution.
The sign sustained about $1,200
worth of damage.
- Michael Wong worked as an art director on this episode.
- The part about Emma being recommended to spend the night in Storybrooke as she was about to leave town, refers to a deleted scene from "Pilot," where Graham meets Emma by her car and suggests that she stays at the inn for the night due to Regina's drinks being strong. Emma disagrees and believes she is fine to drive and would pass a breathalyzer test.
- A newspaper prop auctioned off online in October 2019 reveals that the caption reads "Emma Swan, suspected of damaging Storybrooke's historic signage."[1]
- The bottom headlines read "Sonnet Hill Orchard Park Apple Trees Threatened by Prune Beetle S[four illegible characters]"[16] and "Crops Decimated by Freak Flood."[17]
- The newspaper prop which was auctioned off, reveals the bottom articles in their entirety.[1] The first article is one huge mess; it is a mixture of an article about pest insects, and sentences adapted from a real world article about the trial of the Green River Killer, published by Seattle Post-Intelligencer in November 2003.[18] In addition, several text segments are repeated. The following is a transcript of the article, with the excerpts from the Seattle Post-Intelligence article next to it (note that one line of the transcript has been shrunken down to fit within the table):

Museum Fall
On Hard Times
By Craig Powell
Daily Mail Correspondences
the metallic, mineral occurrences of
northwestern Maine are within
Aroostook County mining districts.
Since the decline of the mining
industry in the 1970s the good
people of Houlton have been
represented by the Houlton Mining
Museum.
This august institution was dealt
a blow, however, when the state
legislature was forced to cut back on
funding. Councillor Herman
Alexander stated that the withdrawal
was the result of the economic
downturn and that the museum
should be encouraged to seek
partnerships with private local
interests.
The head curator of the museum,
Eduardo Castro, intimated that the
legislature's decision did not bode
well for for [sic] the future well being of
Houlton's premiere tourist attraction
and prime county employer. Since
the decline of the mining industry in
the 1970s the good people of
Houlton have been represented by
the Houlton Mining Museum.
- Craig Powell was as a camera operator on the show, and the director of the episode "Last Rites." Eduardo Castro was the costume designer for the first six seasons.
- The same headline can be glimpsed inside the newspaper that Mary Margaret reads in "The Shepherd."[21]
- The second back page article is called "Storybrooke couple attest to the power of 'junque'."[1] The fictional journalist is Sylvia Jang, a production staff member on "The Stranger." The content, however, has nothing to do with the headline; the first four paragraphs are copied from the aforementioned "Crops Decimated by Freak Flood" article on the front page (even the misprints are the same),[1] but with a different layout; and the final paragraph is the same as the first sentence of the "Sonnet Hill Orchard Park Apple Trees Threatened by Prune Beetle Scourge" front page article (again with identical misprints). The photograph is different and matches the "junk" headline, but the caption is the same as the first paragraph.
- The newspaper Emma is reading in the diner shows a photograph of David Nolan in hospital. The main headline (seen upside-down) says "Coma patient wakes up." Another headline says "The 13th zodiac sign?"[22]
- A newspaper prop auctioned off online in November 2019, reveals the front in its entirety. The cover story reads:[23]

The mysterious "John Doe" awoke, suddenly, from a long term catatonic state only to disappear
without trace, leaving Hospital and law enforcement officials baffled as to his whereabouts.
Storybrooke Daily Mirror
News Staff
tified man in his early 30's – known only
by the moniker John Doe, astounded the
staff of Storybrooke General's Intensive
Care Department, yesterday, when he
awoke from a long term catatonic state.
"It was like some kind of wonderful pres-
ence enterd the room and managed to
rouse him," said hospital volunteer and
local schoolteacher, Mary Margaret
Blanchard, who was at Doe's bedside
when he became fully conscious. "I was
reading to him as a therapeutic initiative
when I sensed a stirring, a gentle move-
ment."
Soon after this miraculous awakening
John Doe had managed to disappear
without trace, evading hospital security
and leaving everyone baffled as to his
whereabouts.
Shortly thereafter, the Sheriff's depart-
ment was alerted and hunt for his
elusive character was initiated.

Health halted renovations, Wednesday, at an abandoned health
clinic at 1051 – 11th Ave, after it found unacceptable levels of
asbestos inside and outside the building, a state official said.
The department began investigating the possibility that asbes-
tos was present in the building, after the project contractor,
Michael Wong, noticed the floor tiles during a routine inspection.
In this case, state officials took eleven samples from the parking
lot, a dumpster, floor tiles and construction material being
demolished by workers. The test results uncovered the presence
of asbestos in all six [sic] samples – ranging from 2 to 10 percent,
more than the state and federal standards allow.
A special investigative team set up by Wong and the Depart-
ment of Public Health, is to be assembled in order to plan the
removal of the carcinogen, so that the beleaguered renovations
could continue.

officials say that other lobster meat -- including meat from claws, tails, legs and the body – is perfectly safe to eat. |
"Consumers may already be aware of the need to avoid eating 'Red tide' contaminated seafood because of recent closures to shellfishing areas," said Chris Nash of the DES Shellfish Program. |
Plumes of red tide algae have forced the state to close shell fishing beds in some coastal areas off of Maine. Officials said |
Red tide is a naturally occurring marine algae that carries a potent neurotoxin; some ocean fish and shellfish such as clams, oysters and mussels accumulate the red tide toxin, making them dangerous for people to eat. |

Lobsters accumulate the red tide toxin in their tomalley (which acts like a liver/ pancreas) from their various food sources. The toxin does not transfer into the meat of the lobster. |

Storybrooke Hospital. "It has been inter-

EMMA SWAN BIRTHED BABE BEHIND BARS

Documents have surfaced which purport to show Sheriff Office candidate Emma Swan made
a series of "poor choices" when she was a teenager
STORYBROOKE, MAINE – The race for the
position of local sheriff has just gone into
overdrive. The Storybrooke Daily Mirror has
recently come into possession of a number of
controversial documents that purport to shed
an entirely new light onto the character of
Storybrooke’s prospective new law enforce-
ment official, Emma Swan.
Records show that when she was merely a girl
of seventeen, Emma Swan found herself, ironi-
cally, on the wrong side of the law. She was
visiting friends of her foster parents in the
town of Worcester, Massachusetts, it would
prove to be a trip that that Swan would come to
regret. Something that would earn her a
juvenile criminal record.
On the evening of June 16th, 1996, Swan
entered into a local five and dime store to buy a
gossip magazine. Soon thereafter, she was
caught on CCTV video cameras trying to dip
her hand into the purse of another female
customer. The clerk caught sight of her actions
and purportedly called the police depart-
ment. It was soon thereafter that the young
Emma Swan got her first taste of justice.
- The time and place for Emma's arrest are contradicted in "Tallahassee" and "There's No Place Like Home," which prove Emma was actually arrested in Portland, 2001. She was not arrested for pickpocketing, but for possession of stolen goods, under completely different circumstances than the ones described in the article.
- There is an article called "Pumpkins Weekends at Storybrooke Farm are seasonal treats for the entire family."[43] It is adapted from selected paragraphs from a real newspaper article from October 2010 (updated in January 2011), from the official website of the Daily Herald,[44] a daily newspaper based in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Again, some of the article can be seen on-screen, while the rest can be seen on the newspaper prop which was auctioned off.[4]
About the format: Missing text is still set in fuchsia. One paragraph was moved to a different part of the article; it is marked with a yellow background. Note that a few lines of the transcript have been shrunken down to fit within the table.

Around 2,000 people flocked in the
Storybrooke Animal Sanctuary for its
inaugural family fun day last weekend. –
something that may not have come to
passif it were not for an unlikely benefac-
tor: Storybrooke's own Sheriff Graham.
Charity volunteers were delighted with
the turn-out at the action-packed event,
which raised more than $8,000 profit. The
funds will go towards the sanctuary's
running costs.
Kristen Agi said: "It was the best year
we've ever had. Because of how little
money we had left, most of the funds will
go towards paying our bills, but it was
vitally important the day was a success as
we only had a few weeks of funding left.
"The support was amazing, we've had
people ringing us up to say how fantastic a
day it was. The dog display and agility
events were brilliant and there was so
much for all the family to take part in."
There was lots to see on the day, with birds
of prey, ferret racing, reptiles and alpacas.
Entertainment included archery, a bouncy
castle, climbing walls, chain saw wood-
carving and displays from the
Storybrooke Taekwondo Association and the
Storybrooke Dance Academy.

Margaret Blanchard, was arrested yesterday and
charged with the murder of Storybrooke resident
Katherine Nolan [sic], according to local law enforce-

Although the Sheriff's office will not release the
details of the incident, Sheriff Emma Swan says
that they have evidence linking Blanchard to a
violent struggle with Nolan on the night of
Nolan's disappearance. Blanchard is being held at
the Storybrooke Sheriff's and will await trial in
the upcoming weeks.
Blanchard was charged with felony counts of
murder, attempted murder and assault and a
misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a
weapon, Swan said.
She was arraigned in Story-
brooke City Court and processed for holding in
lieu of $500,000 bail.
Although Blanchard's motives remain unclear,
one Storybrooke resident who wishes to remain
anonymous claims that he recently saw
Blanchard and Nolan's husband David kissing
outside of a local diner. David Nolan has been
cooperative with the local law enforcement and while
he has been questioned, Swan insists that he is not

trophy on the dais, she gave a glowing accolade
to her late grandfather, Stanley, who set her on
course towards a passion for words and the
spelling thereof.
"Words are more than just descriptors -adjec- [sic]

is almost as if they have their own colors and
music; they contain powerful ideas; they
contain emotions and feelings.

been milking cows and playing in manure all day, they aren't the person

York and the northern tier of Pennsylvania
through central Massachusetts to coastal
Maine.
From northeastern upstate New York to

Statues of Biblical figures recently vandalized at two Catholic churches in Vineland, N.J., were done so in such a way that seems to convey a vicious message, say authorities. "When you look at how methodical the person was who did this, cutting off the heads, gouging out the eyes, there's some kind of sicko message being communicated," Peter Feuerherd, director of Communications for the Catholic Diocese of Camden, told The Christian Post in an interview on Monday.

B.C.: 2 fathers, group of 8 kids rescued after unplanned night on mountain near Rossland |

ROSSLAND - The overnight rescue of two fathers and a group of eight kids from the backcountry of a ski resort in the West Kootenays should be a warning to others to stay in bounds unless they have a GPS tracking device, a search and rescue expert says. The group – up from Washington State and staying at one of the adult’s resort properties - spent a chilly night huddled with rescuers after acciden- tally going out of bounds on a new portion of Red Mountain Resort, near Rossland. |
The overnight rescue of two fathers and a group of eight kids from the backcountry of a ski resort in the West Kootenays should be a warning to others to stay in bounds unless they have a GPS tracking device, a search and rescue expert says. The group - up from Maine State and staying at one of the adult’s resort properties - spent a chilly night huddled with rescuers after acciden- tally going out of bounds on a new portion of the resort. |
"A little bit of a mistake and an accident got them out of bounds and into trouble," said Rossland RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dave Johnson. |
|
The last of the group, which included children of various ages, were helicoptered out early Monday afternoon and all are uninjured and in good spirits, according to Johnson. North Shore Search and Rescue manager Tim Jones said if skiers have a GPS unit, they can then backtrack once they get lost out of bounds, retracing their steps to safety. Jones said cellphones may be of help if lost in the back- country, but pointed to a device like the inReach satellite communicator as the most reliable option. (…) |

The stock of a corporation is partitioned into
shares, the total of which are stated at the time
of business formation. Additional shares may
subsequently be authorized by the existing
shareholders and issued by the company. In
some jurisdictions, each share of stock has a
certain declared par value, which is a nominal
accounting value used to represent the equity on
the balance sheet of the corporation. In other
jurisdictions, however, shares of stock may be
issued without associated par value.

rules that evolved over a very long period of time
applies to commercial transactions. The need to
regulate trade and commerce and resolve
business disputes helped shape the creation of law and courts.
In many countries it is difficult
to compile all the laws that can affect a business
into a single reference source. Laws can govern
treatment of labor and employee relations,
worker protection and safety, discrimination on
the basis of age, gender, disability, race, and in
some jurisdictions, sexual orientation, and the
minimum wage, as well as unions, worker
compensation, and working hours and leave.
While leverage magnifies profits when the
returns from the asset more than offset the costs
of borrowing, losses are magnified when the
opposite is true. A corporation that borrows too
much money might face bankruptcy or default
during a business downturn, while a less-levered
corporation might survive. An investor who
buys a stock on 50% margin will lose 40% of his
money if the stock declines 20%.
Risk may be attributed to a loss in value of
collateral assets. Brokers may require the
addition of funds when the value of securities
hold declines. Banks may fail to renew mort-
gages when the value of real estate declines
below the debt's principal. Even if cash flows
and profits are sufficient to maintain the ongo-
ing borrowing costs.

market liquidity and sales by others are depress-
ing prices. It means that as things get bad, lever-
age goes up, multiplying losses as things
continue to go down. This can lead to rapid
ruin, even if the underlying asset value decline is
mild or temporary.
The risk can be mitigated by negotiating the
terms of leverage, by maintaining unused room
for additional borrowing, and by leveraging only
liquid assets.
On the other hand, the extreme level of leverage
afforded in forex trading presents relatively low
risk per unit due to its relative stability when
compared with other markets. A standard unit
of measurement known as a pip equals .0001
USD.
Compared with other trading markets,
forex traders must trade a much higher volume of
units in order to make any considerable profit.
For example, many brokers offer 100:1 leverage
for investors, meaning that someone bringing
$1,000 can control $100,000 while taking
responsibility for any losses or gains their invest-
ments incur. This intense level of leverage
presents equal parts risk and reward.
There is an implicit assumption in that account,
however, which is that the underlying levered
asset is the same as the unlevered one. If a
company borrows money to modernize, or add
to its product line, or expand internationally,
the additional diversification might more than
offset the additional risk from leverage.
Or if an investor uses a fraction of his or her
portfolio to margin stock index futures and puts
the rest in a money market fund, he or she might
have the same volatility and expected return as
an investor in an unlevered equity index fund,
with a limited downside. Or if both long and
short positions are held by a pairs-trading stock
strategy the matching and off-setting economic
leverage may lower overall risk levels.

Necessity being the mother of invention, the idea of building a railroad in the middle of the Maine woods was born. Edouard "King" Lacroix, a lumber baron who had huge operations at Churchill Depot and Clayton Lake, was up to the challenge. He went to New York City and bought two used steam locomotives. He had them delivered to Lac Frontiere, Quebec, over existingrail lines. |
Necessity has always been the mother of invention and the idea of building a railroad in the middle of the Maine woods was born. |
During the winter of 1926-1927, the trains were partially disassembled at Lac Frontiere and hauled over ice roads with Lombard log haulers to Churchill Dam. From there, they were hauled across frozen Churchill and Eagle lakes to the tramway area. Transportation of the materi- als to build and operate a railroad in such a remote location was a monumental task. In |

The blaze, which caused an estimated $500,000 in damage to the building at 120 Edinburgh Rd. S., is still under investigation and fire officials are still taking witness statements. |
Approximately 120 residents of the building at Edinburgh Road and Bristol Street stayed at the Holiday Inn for two nights after the fire, with others choosing to stay with family or friends. |

Arrangements have been made to accommodate the residents living in the penthouse where the fire began because of extensive damage. All other residents returned to their homes on Saturday. The father of one of the tenants told the Mercury last week his son and a roommate — who were both working a night shift — awoke in the late afternoon to find their apartment on fire and were able to get out of the unit. |

Mr Obama urged lawmakers to follow his lead on reducing "waste in programmes I care about" and avoid "grandstanding". He added: "We cannot continue to spend as if deficits do not matter. |
The budget will include more money for scientific research and more for defence programmes. But it also looks forward to eliminating waste and freezing many other domestic programmes. |
The budget includes about $100bn of tax incentives designed to lower double-digit unemployment, including inducements for companies to hire work- ers. This will be partially offset by higher taxes on wealthy Americans earning more than $250,000 a year. |
