  A PORT ROYAL FAMILY IS COUNTING THEIR BLESSINGS AFTER A MASSIVE FIRE DESTROYED THEIR GARAGE AND CLAIMED THE LIVES OF THEIR PET CHICKENS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. FLAMES SHOT FORTY FEET INTO THE AIR ON MAIN STREET, WAKING NEIGHBORS AND DAMAGING TWO NEARBY HOMES AND A CHURCH. HOLLEY BOONE SAYS HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER ALERTED THE FAMILY JUST IN TIME TO ESCAPE. INVESTIGATORS ARE NOW LOOKING INTO WHETHER A GOLF CART CHARGING IN THE GARAGE MAY HAVE SPARKED THE BLAZE.  NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. PENN STATE UNIVERSITY IS ESCALATING ITS LEGAL BATTLE WITH THE STATE COLLEGE SPIKES OVER THE USE OF MEDLAR FIELD. IN AN AMENDED COMPLAINT FILED THIS WEEK, THE UNIVERSITY CLAIMS THE BASEBALL TEAM FAILED TO PROPERLY RENEW ITS LEASE AND NOW OWES OVER 1.7-MILLION DOLLARS IN TERMINATION FEES AND UNPAID RENT. UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS ALSO CLAIM REPUTATIONAL HARM HAS BEEN DONE.  WHILE THE SPIKES RECENTLY PAID NEARLY TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR MONTHLY OCCUPANCY, PENN STATE IS SEEKING TOTAL POSSESSION OF THE STADIUM. TEAM OWNERSHIP HAS PREVIOUSLY COUNTERED THAT THE UNIVERSITY IS ATTEMPTING TO FORCE THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.
