ANSWER TO TODAY’S PUZZLE
Eighty-two-year-old ac- tor James Cromwell, known most recently for his role on Succession, glued his palm to a midtown Manhattan Starbucks store counter on May 10 to protest the extra charge the coffee company assesses for plant- based milk in their drinks. He later used a knife to scrape his hand off the counter.
Sticking It To Starbucks

The Associated Press report- ed that Cromwell, who starred in Babe: Pig in the City, is a longtime animal rights pro- tester. For its part, Starbucks seemed nonplussed by the protest, which was organized by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, char- acterizing the nondairy milk customizations as similar to any other, “such as an addi- tional espresso shot or syrup.”

Quacking The Case
With the help of a fine feathered friend, investigators in Buncombe County, North Carolina, are finally wrapping a cold (duck) case from 2020, WLOS-TV reported. Nellie Sullivan, a woman in her 90s, was determined to be miss- ing in 2020, but her body was never located. Nevertheless, her granddaughter, Angela Wamsley, 46, and Wamsley’s boyfriend, Mark Barnes, 50, were arrested in December 2020 on multiple charges, in- cluding concealing a death.
The lawsuit also alleges that Hirsh “screams and makes loud noises while using the gym and the pool” and doesn’t always wear appropriate attire in the gym. Hirsh was banned from the facilities but apparent- ly has snuck back in by follow- ing a real estate agent touring prospective buyers or catching an open door when other res- idents were leaving. Manage- ment has had to take both the pool and the fitness center out of use so both could be cleaned and sanitized. But Hirsh thinks the suit is payback because she doesn’t tip.
HELP WANTED:
On April 14, a couple out walking their pet duck dis- covered a container after the duck wandered under a trailer where Wamsley and Barnes once lived. Sullivan’s remains were inside.
