1 isolated suicide and no bear story? REALLY! What a pathetic joke. You call this news?

Hi Steve, These were the most widely read stories on Barnstable-Hyannis Patch, not necessarily the top news stories selected by the editors. The Cape Cod Bear story was an exciting one and widely read, but it did not make our top 10 in terms of the most traffic.
