00:03Read all about it. Discover all the news. Read all about it. Track down all the clues.
00:17With interesting people there's a mystery to be solved. An adventure is unfolding, so why not get involved?
00:27Come on and read all about it.
01:11Come in. I'd like to talk to somebody about the Dunedin adventure. Are you Chris Anderson?
01:21Yes. Let me explain. My name is Counselor Ann Dupont.
01:26Counselor? Yes. I'm on the Herbertville Town Council. I and many of the other counselors have read the first edition
01:32of your newspaper.
01:34At our meeting this afternoon, I was asked to officially extend congratulations on behalf of the council for an excellent
01:40endeavor.
01:42Well, thank you. It really is a good newspaper. Herbertville needs a paper like yours.
01:51Guess what? I delivered all the papers back. Oh, hello. How do you do?
01:56Lynn, this is Counselor Ann Blake. She came to tell us that she likes our paper.
02:00Yes, I do. Especially the story about Dunedin. It's very imaginative. You could almost believe that it really happened.
02:09Yes, I know what you mean. Well, I really mustn't take up more of your time. If there's anything I
02:14can do, don't hesitate to call on me.
02:17How about an interview?
02:18Lynn, I'm sure our readers would like to know what a town counselor does.
02:23Well, I'll tell you what. Meet me in front of the town hall tomorrow morning, and you can stay with
02:28me for the day and see what we do.
02:30Okay.
02:31It was a pleasure meeting all of you. Keep up the good work.
02:34We will.
02:34Oh, I nearly forgot. The council wanted you to have this book. It might help you on your history section.
02:4410 o'clock. Don't forget. Bye.
02:47Bye.
02:48Bye.
03:00You two were acting pretty strange.
03:02We were trying to warn you.
03:06Counselor Blake may be working for Dunedin.
03:08What?
03:09Dunedin is the leader of the conspiracy.
03:18How'd you find this out?
03:21A message from Dunedin was intercepted and decoded.
03:26We're pretty sure Mr. Regan is one of his operators, but he isn't the only one.
03:32And you think counselor Blake?
03:34Why not?
03:35But you seem so nice.
03:37That could be a trick to gain our confidence.
03:40I never thought of that.
03:46Someone is approaching.
03:54Come in?
04:01Hey, there's no one there.
04:08It's just a box.
04:10And there's a letter with it.
04:11I wonder what's in it.
04:13Oh, probably a bomb.
04:14And kapow!
04:15Up goes the hair from the car.
04:17Don't be silly.
04:18No one would send us a bomb.
04:21Would they?
04:23What'll I do?
04:25Put it on the desk.
04:26Carefully.
04:29Open the letter, Sam.
04:30Hurry up.
04:50See?
04:51I told you it wasn't a bomb.
05:02What was that?
05:20Why only half your money back?
05:21Shh.
05:23Wait a minute.
05:23There's more.
05:24I am sending you a kitchen machine so that you can write and print an advertisement about
05:29it in your paper.
05:30Yours truly, Sidney J. Tell.
05:35Sidney J. Tell?
05:36What kind of a name is that?
05:38He must have made it up.
05:48Well, are we going to write an ad for it?
05:50Let's check it out first, and then we can decide.
05:53Okay.
05:54Everybody bring some vegetables tomorrow.
05:56Not me.
05:57I'm going to interview Councillor Blake.
05:59I don't know whether you should, Lynn.
06:00If she's working with Dunedin, you could be in real danger.
06:04In the middle of town hall.
06:06I have to go.
06:07Bye.
06:07Oh, we'll see you.
06:08Bye, Lynn.
06:09See you tomorrow, Granddad.
06:12Oh, then.
06:14We're slurping.
06:18I'm going there.
06:19We could.
06:38Pardon me?
06:39It's hard,аute.
06:40It's hard.
07:00I'm testing Mr. J-Tail's machine.
07:03He says it's four times better.
07:10Well, it's better then.
07:14Hey, I don't know.
07:15It doesn't say.
07:17Therefore, he has no grounds for his claim?
07:21I guess not.
07:24It also says, I think everybody should have the J-Tail.
07:39He means people, Otto.
07:41He thinks every person should have one.
07:44To think is just an opinion?
07:49I know, Theta.
07:51He can't speak for everyone.
07:53I'm sure some people don't need a J-Tail.
07:55Well, it would be misleading to print opinion as fact.
08:02I'm not printing anything yet.
08:05All I want to do is test this machine.
08:12Believe me, I will.
08:14As soon as I can find an extension cord.
08:19How old-fashioned.
08:39The council meets once a week, and the mayor presides over this meeting.
08:42Now, the public has a right to attend, but they're not allowed to participate.
08:45Once a month, we hold an open meeting.
08:47That's when the public can ask questions.
08:50Oh, excuse me, Lynn.
08:51I must have a word with Mr. Walker.
08:56Hello.
08:57Hello, Maria.
08:57How are you?
08:58I'm fine.
08:59I bet you just come from a meeting.
09:00Just another meeting.
09:02I spent all my time here.
09:20There's only two buttons.
09:31Well, more than two.
09:33If it's supposed to do everything you want it to do.
09:37Well, here goes.
09:45What is the result?
09:48It shreds.
09:50Sort of.
09:56Yes.
09:57Yes.
09:57It didn't cut, or dice, or do any of the things I expected.
10:20well it was implying that it would i assume that it did everything and so would everybody else
10:36there won't be an ad auto all we'll print is the truth may i suggest jaytel kitchen machine
10:43it shreds if not satisfied have your money back
10:51not bad theta
10:59chris chris
11:03where's the book we used about the coach house it's on the shelf why we made an error in our
11:09story
11:12look at this it's from the book counselor blake gave us
11:30and this is what we printed
11:45i don't see any difference
11:46look at the names the book says donna mary eden and we say donna mary edwards
11:53you must have copied it down wrong i'm sure i did
12:00look donna mary edwards lived in king's manor
12:06well one of them must be wrong and this is the official history i don't understand
12:24i still don't understand why the park is being closed
12:27well it isn't yet at the last council meeting it was discovered that the land the park is on
12:32might not belong to herbertville we always thought it did it's being checked out and we're going to
12:38decide what to do at the next meeting that's not fair if the park has to be closed people won't
12:44have anywhere to go i agree i'm hoping to persuade council to buy the land if it belongs to someone
12:50else good now would you like to meet the mayor before you leave i'm sure he could spare a few
12:56minutes
