(AP) Daegan Goodman may have frad the shortest distance to travel to the rotten, sneaker contest, but you couldn't tell that by smelling his shoes. The 10-year-old from Montpelier took the crown in the annual event, which had eight other finalists from across the country. Smell is not the only quality on which the shoes are judged.

Appearance, overall condition, heels and soles also count. Regular use and abuse seemed the treatment of choice for competitors in Tuesday's contest, which is sponsored by OdorEaters. Daegan explained his simple recipe for winning the coveted golden sneaker. "I just wear 'em, sweat in 'em, play sports I just try," he said. The annual contest began in 1975 as a way to help a local sporting goods store sell shoes.

In 1988, Odor-Eaters, maker of anti-footodor insoles, sprays and powder, assumed sponsorship of the event. As the winner, Daegan gets a $500 savings bond, $100 to buy a new pair of sneakers, the golden sneaker and -Eater products. Man arrested for theft at convenience store LANGLEY, Wash. (AP) -A teenager bleeding after apparently smashing the glass door at a gas station called for emergency aid and was arrested, authorities say. The 18-year-old apparently cut himself in the break-in Friday night at a closed filling station on southern Whidbey Island, said Island County sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Surveillance videotapes indicate he tried without success to open the cash register, stuffed his pockets with packs of cigarettes and left, Smith said.

He then returned three minutes later, again failed to get the cash drawer open and put more smokes into his pockets, she said. That's when he called 911, claiming he tried to break up.a burglary by two men who beat him with a bat and fled sports car. He was jailed for investigation of two counts of seconddegree burglary. ary.
