New York (CNN) -- Longtime local news anchor Sue Simmons will no longer fill her familiar co-anchor chair at New York's NBC station, according to a company statement. 

Simmons, 68, who has spent more than three decades on-air for WNBC and was reportedly at one time the highest paid local television anchor in the country, will not get her contract renewed when it expires in June. 

"We have tremendous respect and admiration for Sue Simmons," said Dawn Rowan, a spokesperson for the station. "For decades, Sue has been a critical part of New York's longest tenured anchor team in the city and has more than earned her iconic status." 

The announcement of her departure spawned a "Save Sue Simmons" Facebook page, and prompted other social media postings about her past exploits. 

Her anchoring is punctuated by what some called a quintessential New York attitude, and her often sassy comments, smirks and grins go against what might be considered typical news anchor decor. 

Jack Cafferty, a CNN commentator who co-anchored with Simmons for 13 of the 32 years she has worked for WNBC, called her a "breath of fresh air in the otherwise stuffy, pretentious world of journalism." 

Mark Harris, a columnist for Entertainment Weekly, tweeted: "Fellow New Yorkers, I hope you all get that this is wrong, stupid and evil," 

Her newscast was ranked No. 1 in the fiercely competitive New York local news market this year among advertisers' favorite demographic, ages 25 to 54.

Problem: (CNN) -- Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has made an emotional appeal after his father was abducted in his native Nigeria. 

"Please just let him go," he told Sky Sports News. 

"He's just an old man, he hasn't done any harm to anyone as far as I know and I don't know why he has been taken." 

Michael Obi, who runs a transport company in Jos, the main city in Plateau State in central Nigeria, has not been seen or heard of since he failed to return home from work last Friday. 

Obi Mikel was told of the problem just before the start of Chelsea's Premier League match at Stoke Sunday which finished goalless and said his father was at the forefront of his thoughts throughout the match. 

"Nigeria is the country I am from, I've always tried to help my country in any way I can, playing for my country or anything," he said. 

"This is a time where I need the country to help me. Whoever has got my dad, whoever knows where my dad is, please contact me and hopefully he can be released." 

Chelsea have given Mikel their support in a statement on their official website. 

"Everyone at Chelsea Football Club was very concerned to hear that John Mikel Obi's father has been reported as missing and possibly abducted. 

"We will give Mikel and his family our full support at this most difficult time." 

Mikel confirmed they had not heard from his father's abductors and no ransom had yet been demanded.

question: CHAPTER XX 

THE MATE TRIES TO TAKE COMMAND 

The fight had taken place around a bend of the shore, so that it was not observed by old Jerry and the girls. But when Dick got back to camp Dora at once noticed that something unusual had happened. 

"What is wrong, Dick?" she asked. 

"Oh, nothing much, Dora. I merely made Dan Baxter promise to keep his distance in the future." 

"Did you have a fight?" 

"It didn't amount to much. He had to give in pretty quickly." 

"Oh, Dick!" She caught his arm. 

"I won't have him annoying you, or the others, Dora." 

"You are so good!" she whispered. 

Supper was ready, and they sat down, leaving Jack Lesher still in the hammock. They had nearly finished when Dan Baxter came shuffling along. 

"Do you want some supper?" asked Dick. "If you do, come on." 

"I don't want anything more to-night," growled the bully, and sat down beside Jack Lesher. 

It was rather an uncomfortable evening. The thoughts of each of the party were busy. At the first opportunity Dick called old Jerry to one side. 

"Jerry, we must watch those two fellows closely," he said. 

"Right ye are, Dick." 

"I am afraid Lesher will be ugly when he wakes up." 

"More'n likely, lad--he always was on board ship. The drink gives him an awful temper." 

"I am, going to put the liquor where he can't get it." 

"He'll make ye give it to him." 

"Will he? Just you wait and see," replied Dick firmly.
