URBANA -- Police say five people have been arrested in connection with the death of a central Ohio woman whose body was dismembered and parts of it were transported across state lines.
The Middletown Journal reports that three people were arrested Saturday in Hamilton and two were arrested in Urbana. Police say only one, who lived at the same address as the victim, is facing a murder charge in Jessica Sacco's death.
The 21-year-old Urbana woman was found dead in her home Friday. Police say she was stabbed and suffocated.
Authorities believe Sacco was killed around March 22. A possible motive hasn't been released. Police say the suspects took some of her remains to Hamilton two days later and disposed of them in Covington, Ky. All five suspects were scheduled for initial court appearances on Monday.

The Goshen School Board approved the textbook rental fees at the middle school level Monday night.
The changes for 2013-2014 at Goshen Middle School include fees associated with a new text/series for English and Language for grades six through eight, said Tamra Ummel, executive director.
Sixth-graders will have a total of $46.77 for the new English and Language text/series, a difference of $21.50 from the 2012-2013 school year. Seventh-graders will pay $27.91 and eighth-graders will pay $29.39.
"The costs associated with individual courses that are specific and/or unique to individual students may include courses such as Read 180 (a developmental reading course), art, choir and band," Ummel said.
Students will have a fee of $5 for Read 180 ear buds and a $3 participation fee for band, choir and orchestra in all three grades.
"The fee for the new course, Digital Media, has been added for $6," Ummel said.
A proposed total of $167.38 has been approved for rent, consumables and fees for sixth-grade, an increase of $44.88 from last year. Students in grade seven will pay $35.57 more than they did last year, which was $156.50 and the eighth-graders will see an increase of $41.28 for a total of $188.28.
Jerry Hawkins, coordinator of business affairs, told the board members about appropriation reductions for Capital Projects Fund and Transportation Fund due to the tax cap impact on these funds. The reductions for transportation operations totaled $499,174 which included service area, vehicle operation and vehicle maintenance. The Capital Projects totaled $918,237.
"We also have the possible need to use some Rainy Day Funds only if it becomes necessary," Hawkins said.
The major budget classifications for the Local Day Funds include systems operations, service area, vehicle operation, vehicle servicing and construction services for a total of $1,410,000, he added.
A hearing will be held at the next school board meeting for taxpayers with questions about the additional appropriations and reductions. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. July 10 at the Administration Center, 613 E. Purl St., Goshen.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- The pressure is on quarterback Clint Chelf as Oklahoma State opens spring practice.
Offensive coordinator Todd Monken says Chelf needs to show during the first two weeks of practice that his experience from being Brandon Weeden's backup for the past two seasons has put him ahead of J.W. Walsh and freshman Wes Lunt.
Chelf played only sparingly last season when Oklahoma State was easily ahead in a blowout. Monken says his extra time in the program and on the field should make him the front-runner to be the Cowboys' next starter.
Coach Mike Gundy says ideally he'll be able to name a starter by the end of spring practice.

The script for Bela Tarr's latest, "The Turin Horse" (co-directed with Agnes Hranitzky), was 35 pages long and 10 of those were about wind. At least that's how one of the producers introduced the film yesterday at the Telluride Film Festival. (After the screening she told me that the script was actually 56 pages long and 20 of them were about wind. You get the idea.)
"The Turin Horse," a slow, two and a half hour, black and white film by a master of challenging cinema, was the first film to screen on the opening day of the Telluride Fest. About 450 people settled into the Palm theater at the town high school for the showing and the fest's Jason Silverman warned them that after seeing "The Turin Horse," they'd view the rest of the Telluride Film Festival through an entirely new set of eyes. Undaunted by an art film with a thin narrative, just a couple of folks seemed to bail out during the showing.
I have friends who are dying to catch a glimpse of what may be Tarr's final film, while others warned me that it is a bore and a waste of time. A famous European festival head apparently called the opening twenty minutes of "The Turin Horse" among the finest ever seen in a movie.
On the big screen at The Palm theater yesterday, "The Turin Horse" was a knockout.
Save for the howling sound of a treacherous wind, the "The Turin Horse" (Hungary's contender for the foreign language Oscar) is essentially a silent movie. It unfolds over six days inside a modest rural farm house that protects a monstrous carriage driver and his dutiful daughter from what is described as "an apocalyptic windstorm."
"The Turin Horse" will test your patience and challenge the way you watch movies. It may also make you crave boiled potatoes. My advice, give it a try, see it on the big screen, and judge for yourself.
Kjell | September 5, 2011 7:49 AM
this film is absolutely claustrophobically beautiful, that silences the soul, takes you into a death-like trance, and leaves you in pieces, scattered by the wind, the wheezy-organ sounds, and the eternal leaves blowing in a silent, desolate landscape....
notes from wellington international film festival, new zealand
(we are all not obsessed with rugby down here!)
MDL | September 3, 2011 8:15 AM
If Ii was at the festival this year I would have been at the screening. Thanks for the open minded review.

Larry Fitzgerald weighs in on Arizona Cardinals' shakeup
Arizona Cardinals franchise receiver Larry Fitzgerald took to his website to publicly thank former head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves for their guidance and professionalism during their tenure in the desert.
The ever classy Fitzgerald said he and his teammates should all take responsibility for the Cardinals' disappointing 2012 campaign that began with such hope.
Fitzgerald fell victim to the team's quarterback carousel which limited his offensive production.
The 29-year-old Pro Bowler had just 71 receptions for 798 yards and four touchdowns this season but remains an elite superstar in the league.

New Chancellor of DSPT - Interview with Very Rev. Fr. Mark Padrez, OP
In January, Fr. Mark Padrez, OP was elected by the delegates of the 24th Provincial Chapter to lead the Western Dominican Province as the Prior Provincial. In this role he also assumes the job of Chancellor of DSPT. Fr. Padrez was born in Nogales, Arizona where gew up and eventually attended the University of Arizona and was active in the Dominican run Newman Center. Fr. Padrez was open to God's invitation to enter the order in 1987. He is a graduate of DSPT and was ordained in 1995. In a brief interview, Fr. Mark tells us about his new role as Chancellor and what it means for our School:
Q: What are the key responsibilities of the Chancellor of DSPT?
Fr. Padrez: The key responsibility I have as Chancellor is to secure the financial and educational future of DSPT. It is important that I collaborate with the Board of Members, Board of Trustees, and the faculty and staff of DSPT to ensure that we meet the challenges of providing a solid education and formation for the future leaders of the Church, and to guarantee that these future leaders "pursue the truth as revealed by the Gospel and discovered by human reason."
Q: What do you see as your top priorities for the School at this time?
Fr. Padrez: First and foremost, I will work to secure the financial stability of the School. Secondly I will focus on increasing the enrollment of the student body both religious and lay, and thirdly to increase awareness and recognition of DSPT within the Church and the Academy.
Q: What are the challenges ahead?
Fr. Padrez: One of the biggest challenges the School faces is the lack of awareness of DSPT among academic communities. DSPT is a small school but it provides much more than even large schools can. The curriculum is rich in the tradition of classical philosophy and Catholic theology, exemplified by Saint Thomas Aquinas and the School has, as its foundation, the history of the Dominican Order, yet still we are not so well known. We need to put ourselves on the academic map!
Q: What is promising for the future of the school?
Fr. Padrez: We offer a rich and unique curriculum that is based on the truths of the Church exemplified by Saint Thomas Aquinas and integrates philosophy and theology. We are confident that when we hand a diploma to our students they have received a solid education that will open many doors for them both in the Church and the Academy.

Last December, About.com was part of a small - and extremely fortunate - group of journalists to visit the set of New Line Cinema's Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the sequel to 2008's Journey to the Center of the Earth, to be distributed by Warner Bros Pictures. Why 'extremely' fortunate, you ask? Because the 3D action-adventure film was being shot on the beautiful island of Oahu.
And while most sets are blocked off, one of the locations used for the 2012 release was open to the public, which meant tourists were traipsing through the area during the filming of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. They were expecting to see exotic flora and fauna, so it must have come as quite a shock for these vacationers to come across a film production involving Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Vanessa Hudgens, and Luis Guzman. Director Brad Peyton seemed to take it in stride, worrying less about tourists capturing photos (including some actually posing in front of props from the set) than about the uncooperative weather, with brief rain showers causing everyone to run for cover.
Occasional bad weather aside, the location was perfect for this adventure story which finds Journey veteran Hutcherson surrounded by new co-stars as they explore a mysterious island that doesn't exist on any map. The scenes we observed involved Hutcherson, Johnson, Caine, Hudgens and Guzman searching for a way to get up to the top of a cliff, as well as a more fantastical sequence involving humongous flowers and towering plants. That scene also featured Michael Caine leading the way through the over-sized plant life before suggesting they all hitch rides on gigantic bees. Yes, bees.
Taking a break from shooting, Dwayne Johnson spoke to us about playing Hutcherson's step-father who reluctantly accompanies him on the journey in this family-friendly PG-rated film.
Dwayne Johnson Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Interview
With all the other movies you have going on, how did you have time to prepare for this?
Dwayne Johnson: "I had months, actually, to prepare for this as I was shooting Fast Five, and as I was preparing for press for Faster. I was fortunate because we had a great team here, Beau Flynn is the producer, [and I] got close with him and got close with our writers, and really had some good time, even though my time was split with responsibilities of shooting the other movie. We were in Puerto Rico and then we were in Atlanta for Fast Five, and it was fortunate that I got the script and was able to prepare in my down time, which wasn't a lot."
As sequels go, with really only one returning cast member this is basically a very different film from the first movie. What was it about the script of this film that got you involved?
Dwayne Johnson: "I like the idea of making a big, fun, adventure-type of movie. I read the script, I liked it and thought that we had an opportunity to elevate it and make it bigger, make it better from the first one. I enjoyed the first one. I thought there were elements of the first one that were pretty cool and exciting. And with the team we had put in place for this one, there were a lot of variables that made it easy to say yes."
Was Michael Caine already on board when you signed on?
Dwayne Johnson: "He was not. No. At that time it was Josh and then myself and then, I think, Michael Caine signed on, and then Vanessa."
It seems like you guys have a good relationship from what we've observed here on the set.
Dwayne Johnson: "I love Michael. I've enjoyed my time with him. As an actor, it is an honor to work with him. There's the words 'legend' and 'icon' [that] come up when you talk about Michael, and he certainly is those words. He is a great, great guy to be around and a great storyteller. He is a guy's guy, and I can appreciate that."
What do you like about being able to shoot a movie here in Hawaii since it's a place you have a connection to?
Dwayne Johnson: "It's great. Not only is it great to bring business here for the economy for the locals and the local businesses here, but personally for me to come back to Hawaii is very satisfying. I lived here on two occasions; I did a lot of my growing up here. At a time where development was important, I spent a lot my time [here]. I think from 13, 14, those years - those important early teenage years - I was here and I was getting in trouble, but yet doing a lot of dreaming. And to come back and live the dream, so to speak, is pretty cool."
Speaking of dreaming, what are you long-term goals career-wise? Do you plan far ahead or do you just take scripts as they come?
Dwayne Johnson: "The goal for me is always to have the opportunity to work in different genres. This is a great and exciting time in my career where I can have the opportunity to work in different genres, and also I recognize there's not a lot of actors who have that opportunity and I'm grateful for it. I like the idea of working in different genres and transcending genres and hopefully finding success, and ultimately make movies people like."
How would you describe the sequel? A mixture of action with comedy?
Dwayne Johnson: "I think so. I think there's a good infusion and a great combination of action and fun and adventure too. I think especially with the 3D platform, which for me was an attraction too. I'd never made a movie that was in 3D. I like the idea that it was written and made specifically for 3D. The very first movie was the first generation of James Cameron's technology, which he used for Avatar. We are the third generation. So it's exciting."
Are you seeing in difference, for you as a performer, as to how you think about the 3D camera? Or is this something you're able to not think about?
Dwayne Johnson: "Great question. I'm intrigued by it, period, the 3D technology and just that platform. But not only that, I think it's fascinating when you can look at how the shots are set up and why they are set up specifically for this for the entertainment for the audience. There's certain things that you have to look at that I never understood till now making this kind of movie, just in terms of depth and how and where actors are placed within the scene, color pallet of the scene, there's cool special effects happening, and how everything is framed. I mean, there is a lot of fascinating detail that goes into it. As a performer, I think about that and this is where it's really important to have a great director who has a great vision and a great sensibility for 3D. You'll speak with him and you'll not only how enthusiastic he is, but what the movies are that have inspired him and been his inspiration over the years since he was a kid. I think you guys will really enjoy it."
With Michael Caine, did you have to get over any kind of intimidation factor because he is so iconic and get relaxed around him at first?
Dwayne Johnson: "No, we were pretty relaxed around each other. I was just very excited to work with him. He read the script and wanted to be in a 3D movie and loved the goal. I've been such a fan for such a long time that I was just really excited. Everyone once in a while you get the opportunity to work with somebody who's amazing, who not only comes on to help elevate the movie, but it's always a nice added bonus when that person is really wonderful."
After your 10,000th stunt, are you starting to let the stuntman do a few more of the stunts or are you still getting in there and doing as much as you can?
Dwayne Johnson: "I love that. I love doing stunts, sure. I'm a physical guy and as long as it's safe. We always have great stunt coordinators - I've worked with some of the best in the business - and they always provide a safe environment for us to work in. But for me personally, as long as I'm able to do it and I think that it adds to the movie, then I'll do it. I love doing it for sure."
Do you often find things you can't do, though? I can't imagine there would be much of that.
Dwayne Johnson: "In terms of stunts?"
Dwayne Johnson: "Plenty, sure."
Like what?
Dwayne Johnson: "If they are high-wire work or high-wire mixed with CGI or green screen, and it's necessary to have your stunt double. I've been very fortunate; I've got a great stunt double who's my cousin and we look like twins. He's been with me since I started."
Where are you size-wise? You're huge in Faster on the screen.
Dwayne Johnson: "I trained a lot. I trained hard for that movie, harder than I've trained for a role, ever. Where am I now?"
Where are you now for this movie in your changing dimensions of Dwayne Johnson?
Dwayne Johnson: "I've slimmed down, probably five to 10 pounds. The type of training I was doing was the type where it was very unsophisticated. We went back to moving iron as how a guy would train when he was in prison. You go into prisons in the yards, these guys train in very unsophisticated ways, moving a lot of iron, sometimes moving a lot of cement, sometimes makeshift weights. They keep everything very basic. That type of training allows for density in the muscles to take place, which is what I wanted to hopefully accomplish with Faster. With this, I shed about five to 10 pounds I would say. I changed my training around."
Is there ever a point where you're not going to worry about bulking back up for things?
Dwayne Johnson: "I don't know the point will come where I say I'm not worried about it. I think it's all just role-dependent and whatever the character will call for. I love training. It's part of my life. I get up and I train hard; it anchors my day and allows me to work 12, 14-hour days. It always depends on the role."
Does your cousin have to match your size all the time?
Dwayne Johnson: "Of course. He has to, yes."
Have you always been a fan of Jules Verne's work?
Dwayne Johnson: "Sure, growing up, absolutely."
Dwayne Johnson: "I think you said it. I think it's living in those worlds, living in those fantasy worlds. I think that always makes it captivating and interesting. When I was a kid and growing up, I was always fascinated by a lot of those stories."
What's more interesting for you to see on the screen in this film, huge bumblebees or Luis Guzman in 3D?
Dwayne Johnson: [Laughing] "The bumblebees don't hold a candle to Luis Guzman, I can tell you that. He's a great guy and very, very funny and very talented by the way. I can always appreciate in careers diversity, and he has that. He's had a wonderful career over the years of solid, powerful drama to fantastic comedic timing."
When you work with actors who are on that cusp of huge stardom, like Vanessa and Josh, what is it like to see somebody where you were 10 years ago?
Dwayne Johnson: "It's an exciting time for them and I can appreciate that. I can also appreciate the layers of humility that they have. Especially for young actors who are that age who are gracious to the crew, number one, and very appreciative of the position they are in and aware of the position that they are in and yet still remain humble I think is a great trait. I see that in the both of them. It's important."

Laurent Robinson took over for the Dallas Cowboys as Miles Austin was out due to injury, but even with Austin back in the lineup for their game against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football, the veteran was able to find the end zone. Tony Romo connected with Robinson midway through the second quarter to give the Cowboys a 14-12 lead.
Robinson has just one reception and one target thus far in the game, but he made it count as it ended with a trip to the end zone. The video below will show just exactly how it happened.
Following Romo's safety on the Cowboys' first possession of the game, the Dallas quarterback has completed seven of his nine passing attempts for 55 yards and a pair of scores. This game might not end up as ugly as it started for the Cowboys quarterback after all.

Organ donation for young children can be 'really tough'
My heart goes out to all the families that find themselves in the position where they have to make a decision about organ donation.
In particular, the decision to donate on behalf of a young child is really tough. But organ donation saves lives and donor families talk with pride of the difficult but ultimately rewarding decision to donate their loved one's organs. Knowing that they have helped save another family from a terrible experience, often helps them deal with their grief.
– Sally Johnson, Director of Organ Donation and Transplantation at NHS Blood and Transplant
There are around 10,000 people in the UK in need of a transplant and some of these are young children. In order to save more lives, we need more people to join the organ donor register.

Speed action meeting over Darwen death crash site
5:30pm Monday 26th November 2012 in News By Dan Clough, Reporter
A MEETING to discuss ways to stop speeding at a Darwen death crash site will take place this week.
Four people died in two separate car accidents in October 2011 and April this year at Bull Hill, leading to questions over whether the road was safe.
And in November last year, Whitehall councillor David Foster called for action at the site — a regular spot for speeding drivers.
The meeting will be held at Bolton Road United Reformed Church from 7pm on Thursday, with police, council officials and residents all invited to give their views.
It comes two weeks after an inquest into the death of Jack Eatock, of Astley, Greater Manchester, who died in an accident in April.
The road has a 30mph speed limit heading out of Darwen until Woodlea Chase, when it rises to 50mph.
But concerns have been raised that slowing down from 50mph to 30mph on the approach to Darwen is difficult.
Coun Foster said: "We have the police and some people from Capita coming. I don't think we will ever solve the problem as there is no magical formula to stop speeding.But hopefully we can come up with some way of alleviating the problem."
Coun Foster said he had been trying to get the council to take measures at the site for some time.
He said: "I did want to get repeater signs to remind people of the speed limit, but apparently you can't get them for 30mph limits.
"I have also tried to get the council to put up electronic warning signs that warn people when they are over the limit.
"It is a problem on that stretch. I know from the amount of times I get overtaken.
"It used to be a 40mph limit but it was reduced after residents comp-lained, but it is a continuing problem."

It isn't a built-up area, and clearly the road is telling people that a speed above 30mph is safe (which it is) so why not just put it back to 40mph as it should be. That way, perhaps people will respect the 30mph limit near the cemetery.
All the council have to do is look at all the research in to the matter of I inappropriately low speed limits and the negative effect they have on vehicle speed and road safety in general.

Surely this would be a solution to slow down the traffic from Bull Hill to at least the town centre.
Chicanes & rumble strips will only give the boy-racers more attraction to speed.

Most of the drivers just keep going at 50mph until they hit the speed camera on Bolton Rd. Im not a fan of cameras, but maybe thats the only solution.

EX-Pat Local Man says...
Many years ago in another life, I ran a successful road safety campaign in the run up to Christmas about the dangers of drunk driving. We positioned smashed cars in various places along a problem road, not dissimilar to Bull Hill. Cars that had been involved in fatal crashes, with dummy's hanging out of windows and such like, (sure you can picture this scene) blood and gore…….. It worked, shock factor, folk slowed down, they took head. Drivers are quite good really they can be programmed, educated; give the right people the tools to do the job.
However with this current trend of health and safety, human rights etc. you will always get someone who wants to hold people's hands throughout their life. SHARP HARD LESSIONS need to be learnt, young drivers need to be shown they are not invincible. You only need to look in the local Lancashire newspapers, people die all the time on roads, and its nearly always down to driver error, a young girl was recently jailed from Kirkham for killing her friend and passenger for dangerous driving, was she really guilty or just poorly educated in relation to road safety and speed and how dangerous a car can really be. A motor vehicle is a weapon of mass destruction in the wrong hands.
I travel this road, a couple of times a month now, when visiting Darwen, it never ceases to amaze me at other drivers stupidity. Last Week I was driving back over the "tops" it was foggy, I was doing a slow 50, fog lights on etc., and people were still passing me, in the darn fog……..THAT'S stupidity, poor education.
Immediate solution, a couple of well-placed Police Road Traffic units, a few smashed cars, and long term education, police stop and educate programme and the current pain of my life Lancashire Police Traffic Camera Vans……. People will continue to be killed by their own stupidity till they realise the dangerous of this ROAD.

The road has less accidents when people do not drink or takes drugs.
The road design is a fast road.
Remember the road used to be 60 mph.
An advanced driver can travel that road in dry weather conditions safely at 70 and not crash.
More people should be given driving lesson on how to drive, not just pass a test.

The road in 30mph section should not be a priority for any action. Shame I am out on Thursday because I would have gone and given a realistic view. Meeting for cars speeding up Borough Road? This is outside a school.
If a minibus drunk driver crashed and killed 8 passengers on a straight road with no hazards does that make it a death road?

I hate the drivers who are on my rear end in thirty zone, I hit accelerator just before 50 sign and never see them again unless stuck in Bolton. Into Darwen yes people do speed but so what (no bigger problem than elsewhere).. no deaths caused by it.

Lets look at the facts the last two serious accidents on that road were not at BULL HILL. One was, at bull hill, the driver "pleaded with Mr Amos to slow down. But he ignored their warnings and continued to accelerate, overtaking vehicles and weaving across the road.She said: "For some reason we ended up on the A666, but no-one questioned why we were there, then Lee's driving got really erratic.".."She said: "For some reason we ended up on the A666, but no-one questioned why we were there, then Lee's driving got really erratic. " .. The factors in this...erratic driving and "A SPEEDING driver was three-and-a-half times over the drink-drive limit when his car crashed into a lamppost"
The next crash was at CADSHAW ( there was video footage) "had been out drinking on the Saturday night before going to Mr Berry's girlfriend's in Egerton.At 2am, it was decided to go out to buy more alcohol"...""When we got to Bull Hill, he sped up as it was open road. He didn't have his seatbelt on as he was still mucking about in the door.As he went round the bend he slid into the barrier".."Mr Eatock was almost three times the legal limit for alcohol and had taken cocaine"
I see drinking being the biggest part of issues on that road by these cases.
I personally have reported a police man for overtaking on the wrong side of cadshaw bend and the hill that followed narrowly avoiding two cars by three foot max...his officer said he wasnt taking our statement further as the policeman involved had "never been reported before!
I also reported a speed camera van for tailgating me to 40 míles per hour in the 30 zone. No action taken as they are volunteers and he had never done anything like it before...
I drive that road daily..sometimes 8 times a day and the speed is not a problem.
Its idiotic actions of drivers overtaking and harrassing, swerving in and out and overtaking 6 or 7 vehicles at a time before forcing a 3 lane situation to escape death.
Micheal Shumacher could drive that road easily at speed, so its not speed thats an issue clearly...its 100% stupidity.

Many long-term employees in numerous departments are being "laid off" in the name of increased revenue; not that this for-profit hospital is not making money annually, but due to the fact that they can make so much more profit by relieving these employees of their duties. Many of these individuals have been employed by Woodland Hospital for many years. They are experienced, proficient, capable people who are being deprived of their livelihood in the name of business profits.
Many of these people are single parents trying to support their families; many carry the only health insurance benefits their families have, and they are losing those benefits as well as their salaries. But, just think how much money will be saved (additional profits) in salaries and benefits when these experienced (higher salary) employees are let go, while new, less experienced (less expensive) non-union employees are brought on staff. What was once a "family" of health care workers with strong ties to this community, having care and concern for their friends and neighbors (as patients here), are now running scared about their jobs and their benefits. It is a sad state of affairs when you see a small town community hospital get "over taken" by "big business." What was once an esoteric profession, has been given up for the "Big Bucks."

A Cape Coral City Council member says the Community Redevelopment Agency is a waste of taxpayer dollars. He says he has seen little progress in 20 years.
"For $14.7 million, I would say we the people have not gotten our money's worth," said Chris Chulakes-Leetz.
Chulakes-Leetz says the Community Redevelopment Agency Board of Commissioners is wasting taxpayer money.
"We have not seen much progress in that area," said Chulakes-Leetz.
Their main job is to promote new development in downtown Cape Coral.
Councilman Chulakes Leetz says it isn't happening.
He says the personnel costs are a big waste of money.
This year, the city will spend about $385,000 on salaries for people to work inside the CRA office.
Chulakes-Leetz says it can all be handled at city hall.
The councilman is proposing to eliminate the seven volunteer commissioners, get rid of the paid employees and bring the CRA under the control of the Cape Coral City Council.
"If we don't bring it forward to have a discussion, then nothing will ever improve," said Chulakes Leetz.
The CRA board chairman welcomes the conversation, but disagrees money is being wasted.
"For the dollar I think we're doing really, really good. I've been on the board for 6 years and I just don't see that we're wasting money," said Rich Greer, CRA board chairman.
He says even though there is a slow economy, progress is happening. He points to Cape Coral's new beach, the recent repaving of Cape Coral Parkway and the buried utility lines in downtown.
"I want the public to know that we're fighting for their side, we're on their side. We're creating destinations," said Greer.
Greer worries the council won't be able to handle all of the responsibilities that come with managing the downtown.
"City council has their hands full and to add more problems to them. He's entitled to his opinion but I just, I just don't see it," said Greer.

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.
I am definitely a breakfast kinda girl, I don't skip out otherwise, I'll spend all morning listening to my stomach complain about its lack of food. Since I do have two boys, I am usually grabbing a box of half eaten cereal in the morning. Anyone else know how that goes? I'm thinking it is time for some easy, frozen meals with an adult flavor!
The good news is that it all changes today! This morning I went out in search of Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls at Walmart and it's the dawn of a new kind of breakfast for me!
Nestled back in the frozen food section are Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls, easy & simple plus full of protein. I grabbed both boxes and then decided to pair it up with a little more yummy goodness. I mean, if I'm going to have an adult breakfast, I need to do it all the way, right? I think so!
I picked up some $1 Lunchables on roll back, greek yogurt and rice milk as I made my way around Walmart, determined to grab a healthy breakfast! The good news is that they are inexpensive as well and Tyson is great about coupons!
I paired up the yummy egg, bacon and cheese Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and of course, Diet Coke. Yep, I mean what would be a morning without Diet Coke? Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls come out of the microwave hot and smelling good plus, this one was packed full of egg, bacon and cheese.
This was not a breakfast that I would walk away from feeling hungry! I was glad to try out the new Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls and hope you will too! Let us know what you think and if you'd like to see more, visit my Google + story!

Just Faith - A free public lecture with Dennis Hiebert
Until recently, many conservative Christians have been so focused on matters of private morality and personal righteousness that they have paid little attention to issues of public morality and social justice. A review of both the Old and New Testaments reveals this to be a selective reading of scripture, and suggests that even salvation is contingent on pursuing social justice. Social systems and conditions need redemption as much as personal hearts and behaviours. What exactly is meant by social justice, and what are various motivations for and levels of practicing it?

Return guests for many years, centrally located
Review submitted: June 6, 2014 Date of arrival: May 17, 2014
The condo at Desert Falls is perfect for us. It is central to all the area golf courses, fine restaurants and great shopping centers. The Desert Falls golf course as the backyard allows for lovely early morning or evening walks . The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful in the desert area. The condo, with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, is suitable for allowing family members or guests to stay with us and enjoy the Palm Springs area. The condo is nicely furnished and well maintained and the grounds are always groomed. The patio is private and is enjoyable for entertaining or eating meals outside.
We have enjoyed this condo for many years and will again in the future.

We witnessed our first hole in one during our stay.

Exceptional Holiday
Review submitted: December 18, 2013 Date of arrival: November 25, 2013
My husband and I stay in the desert four or five times a year. This was our favorite, by far. Every morning we enjoyed breakfast and coffee on the patio watching the ducks, turtles, and other water life on the lake...about 20 feet away! Then the golfers! Hours of entertainment, both morning and during our afternoon beverages!
The condo is clean, well decorated, and has everything one needs to relax, cook inside or out if you wish, and super comfortable beds. The location? Superior. We loved our stay, appreciated the attention to detail, and the prompt and courteous responses by the owners for all questions. We felt extremely safe in the guard gated community and the 24 hour security. The automatic garage door into the spacious garage was a big plus.
Will we stay again? Absolutely. Thank you, Shauna.

5th stay!
Review submitted: December 12, 2012 Date of arrival: November 23, 2012
We have recently returned from 2 weeks at Shauna's place in Palm Desert. This has been our 5th consecutive year at her location. We travel with another couple and the Villa is the perfect size and layout for us and it has all the amenities you will ever need. The purpose of our vacation is a golf get away and the location is very convenient as there are 2 great courses within the complex and it is well located close to the I 10 fwy. which makes it easy and fast to travel to other courses in the area.
An added treat for us is the entertainment of being able to watch other golfers play the 12th par 3 hole from the back patio while enjoying our refreshments. The complex itself is gated giving you a sense of security and is very quiet during the day and night. Having stayed at other Vrbos we feel this particular villa is good value for your dollar and is a definite recommend.

Pictures did not do it justice!
Review submitted: December 11, 2012 Date of arrival: November 8, 2012
"We found the listing for this Desert Falls condo on VRBO and when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find that the pictures on VRBO did not do the unit justice. The decorations in all the rooms were luxurious. We had a view of the pond on the 14th hole (correct this if necessary, I think it was the 14th hole.) and enjoyed watching the golfers hitting over it every day. The location for the unit was very central and we were easily able to get to the five different courses we played. We thought that the Dessert Falls course was the nicest one of all. It has two master bed room suites which worked out fine as we shared it with another couple. If you have not yet gone, we highly recommend seeing The Follies in downtown Palm Springs and dining at Lulus afterwards. Great fun!"

I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our time in the desert. The kitchen is beautiful. I'm sure the new flooring will be equally as nice, can't wait to see that. I hope everything was left as it should have been.
Again thank you for allowing us to stay at Desert Falls, it is so peaceful and looking out at the golf course and mountains with the changing colors in the evening. It is just beautiful.

I have just recently returned from a fantastic stay at Shauna's villa in Palm Desert. The whole experience from start to finish was superb with Shauna communicating and supplying information and help from the start and ending with Shauna helping us out with the departure. The house was in great condition, very comfortable and well finished providing a comfortable base for exploring the nearby shops and restaurants. The patio out the back gets the evening sun providing the perfect setting to enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching the golfers toil in the sun. I would thoroughly recommend this vacation villa and hope to return again, dates permitting.

What a view!
Review submitted: February 10, 2012 Date of arrival: January 1, 2012
We have stayed here for the month of January for the last 5 years. This unit has one of the best views in the area with a pond surrounding the twelfth hole right outside the back door. The fountain in the pond runs about 6 hours a day and there are ducks, egrets and golf shots in the pond to keep you entertained. The mountains are in full view from the living room and master bedroom with fantastic sunrises and sunsets. The unit has everything you need from a gas grill to blenders, etc. The kitchen is freshly updated with granite countertops.
The gym and tennis courts are available to you if you rent here. There are men's and ladies' groups that you can join and the staff at the gym is very helpful to get you in the right group. The gym has very nice new equipment- about 15 new cross trainers, recumbent bikes and elliptical machines. The Yoga classes which run Monday, Wednesday and Friday am are excellent and well taught. There are hot tubs and pools right across the street from the unit, one in each direction.
The owners and their housekeeper are very prompt if you need anything taken care of. We highly recommend this particular unit in Desert Falls Country Club.

Hello Shauna,
Bob and I had a wonderful week at your Desert Falls condo. Thank you so much for our stay. The condo is beautiful, comfortable, very well stocked and the location/views!! Magnificent! Bob enjoyed golf at several courses in the area while I explored. I went to the COD weekend street fair, the Wednesday Farmer's Market, and the Living Desert. We took the Palm Springs Aerial Tram to Mt. San Jacinto for the Easter sunrise service and breakfast. We also took a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park. Your condo was a perfect home base for our explorations. We also enjoyed quite a bit of downtime at the condo....coffee on the patio in the morning, watching the early golfers come through as well as the families of Mallards, geese, and turtles on the pond. We had cocktails on the patio, ate meals, and sat outside in the evenings to watch the sunset and look at the stars later. The weather was gorgeous, so much so we had the windows open and didn't need the AC. All in all it was one of the nicest accommodations and best vacations we have had the pleasure of enjoying. We would return to your lovely condo in a heartbeat!!! Thank you.

We love your condo at Desert Falls. The view of the fountain lake, mountains and Hole #12 is such a wonderful site to enjoy from our living room and bedroom. The decor was truly Tommy Bahama style and we loved it. The pool was steps away and we enjoyed eating at the lovely clubhouse. We're returning for our second visit in April for 2 weeks. Thank you Jim and Shauna for letting us use your place

Franklin police are searching for a group of women who appear to be using noise and commotion to cover their crimes.
A group of 10 to 15 women walked into the Belk Home Store at the Cool Springs Galleria on Aug. 26 and some distracted store clerks while other partners-in-crime slipped into a back room and stole items from employees' purses, police said.
The women stole wallets, bank cards, sunglasses and an iPhone, and they then ran across the street to Target.
"Moments after these customers left with stolen items, they went and began charging things at Target, which is just minutes away," said Franklin police spokesman Lt. Charles Warner.
Police don't know who the women are or where they are from, but they hope that by getting their image out there, clerks and managers at other stores may know what to look for.
"Not only do we want to get them into custody, but we want to alert other store owners as well that when you see 10 to 15 people walk into your store and start talking to you, distracting you, they may not be in there to shop," Warner said.
Franklin police say a normal theft ring is no more than three people, and nobody can remember a theft ring that included a dozen or more adults all working together on location.
If you know anything that could help investigators, call Franklin police.

Hotdog Roll Form Pans in 3 Sizes
Click Image to Enlarge
Our LC Foods' Hotdog Form Pans are made from food grade silicone and heat resistant knitted fiber, and are NSF, FDA, and Kosher certified. These pans can be used for all your baking needs and also pre-molding in the freezer. LC-Form pans are durable for long use estimated at 1500-2000 bakes, and have a non-stick quality requiring no grease or oil when using them. Recommended baking with the LC-Form Pans are on a open grid metal rack or screen, which will work well for the 6 and 12 form pan (rather than a cookie sheet) to get the full exterior crispness. In some cases, you may want to decrease your oven temperature by 10% and increase your baking time by 10%. Unmolding is easily done by pressing the baked good out from the back. To clean simply soak in hot soapy water, clean with a non-abrasive sponge, and non abrasive PH balanced dish soap. Store forms no more than 6 high upside down without crushing to prevent the loss of shape.

Kosrae Village Ecolodge * Sleeping Lady Divers * Kosrae, Micronesia 96944 * ph: 691 370.3483 * email@example.com * HOME
Rainforest hikes, kayaking, surfing, fishing, and bird watching are among the many adventures available on Kosrae. Our beautiful tropical island eco lodge offers more than the restorative pleasure of sunbathing, dining, and diving. The island of Kosrae abounds with natural beauty and treasures that you will want to explore.
We'll help you plan every aspect of your time on Kosrae. We understand that great but affordable accommodations and exciting activities don't necessarily fall into every traveler's lap, so we try to do everything we can to help. Almost anything you can think of to do on the island is at your disposal. There's something for everyone (though you might find snowboarding a little difficult to come by).
Hike through the dense rainforests that cover the slopes of Kosrae's mountains, explore the sea coast and mangrove swamps in a kayak, visit ancient Micronesian or World War II ruins, take your binoculars and go bird watching or snorkel or surf in Micronesia's blue, blue water. There are so many activities that you will need weeks to experience them all.
Night life on Kosrae translates to wild life. Night is when many of the crabs, giant fruit bats and other animals are out and about. Fascinating and entertaining!
The night sky is also spectacular - with no light or air pollution every feature of the sky is extremely clear. Because we are close to the equator, both Northern and Southern Hemisphere constellations are visible. Imagine the Big Dipper and Southern Cross in the same sky!
Oh, you meant that *other* kind of night life! Well, there are two bars on the island and five restaurants, ours is the best, naturally! There are several good local bands and they play at our restaurant for private parties and special occasions, like New Year's Eve.
Surfing is a popular sport on Kosrae and a number of our visitors come here
specifically to surf. We see both long boards and body boards. Check Surfer
Magazine for their online surf report for Kosrae.
Just remember that our surf is unpredictable and all of the breaks are on coral, so skill and patience are required!
Kosrae is one of the premier diving destinations in the Pacific. Magnificent, pristine hard coral gardens, breathtaking walls, schools of large pelagic fishes and tons of tropicals and invertebrates. You've been to Chuuk (Truk), Palau and Yap? Try the *other* Micronesian diving destination.Click here for more detailed information on diving on the coral rich Kosraean reefs.
The coral gardens that make Kosrae a divers paradise also provide world class snorkeling and free diving opportunities.
Swimming either on the reef flat for exercise or over the reef in the ocean for fun is as natural as breathing on this island.
Do you want to make a contribution to the continuing health of coral reefs?
Kosrae has several coral monitoring projects that are a collaborative effort
between KVR, Kosrae Island Resources Management Authority (KIRMA) and Kosrae Conservation and Safety Organization (KCSO). Sport divers are welcome to
join one of the monitoring teams - we provide training and logistical support.
For more information email
us or click here for more detailed information
on our monitoring program.
Kosrae has many hiking and climbing trails. In most cases a guide will accompany the hikers, the forest canopy is thick, the terrain is often rugged, and the trails cross private land.
Available hikes range from easy walks through rainforest valleys to vigorous uplands forest hikes and rigorous mountain climbing.
The mountain climbing is non-technical. At times a rope will be useful, but no other equipment is necessary.
The Kosraean community is just starting to explore different methods of protecting critical habitat and biodiversity as well as how these resources might be used in a sustainable manner.
Since Kosrae is a very small and vertical island, with little productive land, it is difficult to set a significant part of the land or reef apart as a no use zone. The key seems to be defining the truly critical areas that should be left untouched and then setting aside additional areas that are protected, but accessible for sustainable use.
On Kosrae, these decisions are made at the community level, which means there is a great deal of caution, thought and discussion involved before agreement is reached.
For more details and photos check this page.
Kosrae is home to the Lelu Ruins, one of the major archaeological sites in the Pacific. Touring the ancient stone-walled capital is an amazing experience. One of the mysteries is how the enormous pieces of basalt were quarried, transported and put in place by pre industrial people.
Many other historical sites exist on Kosrae, one that has recently been open to the public is the Menka ruins. No archaeological work has been done at this site yet, so you get to see it deep in the jungle as it has been for hundreds of years.
Kosrae was occupied by the Japanese during World War II, and has its share of artifacts. You can easily find bunkers and the radio station on the beach. You will also see the stairs to nowhere, actually steps up a steep cliff face that use to lead to the Japanese weather station, rusting tanks and other remnants from the war while driving around the island.
Visiting some of the many Japanese caves and tunnels is a little more strenuous and will require some hiking.
The fishing is all local style here, Kosrae has no commercial big game fishing operations. But the fish are certainly here. Occasionally local fishermen will bring in a 200 pound marlin - on a hand line! These fish are bigger than the boat.
Many fishermen (and women) have visited us. They bring their own tackle (fly fishing for barracuda??) or join the local fishermen.
Locally, the fishermen troll during the day and fish at night by skin diving or bottom fishing with a hook and line. Many fishermen are also skilled with the traditional throwing net.
The ladies put out small nets, glean the reef flat for shells, and fish the mangrove channels for the delicious mangrove crabs.
Walking the beach front and exploring the tide pools on the reef flat during low tide are an enjoyable pastime for all ages. Plan on wearing reef walkers or similar shoes to protect your feet and don't forget the sun block!
Kosrae has a large number of birds, including the endangered Micronesian pigeon. Except for the doves and pigeons, a number of bird watchers have completed their lists on the KVR grounds or a short walk away. The pigeons and doves are generally found inland and require a little more effort.
The weavers on Kosrae are amongst the region's best, producing hats, bags, baskets and wall decorations. They also make sleeping mats and fish nets. In addition to offering fine handicrafts for sale, they will show how they gather and process their weaving materials. If you'd like, they will also help you try your hand at producing your own weavings.
Almost everyone you meet will be familiar with some aspect of traditional plant use, ranging from medicinal use to handicraft and building materials. They are happy to share their knowledge with visitors, demonstrating when ever possible.
Several knowledgeable local guides provide outrigger canoe trips into the mangrove channels that have been used by the Kosraeans for transportation for centuries. If the tide is high enough, it is possible to travel all the way from Utwe to Walung by canoe.
Kosrae Village also offers kayak tours through the mangroves, in channels too small to accommodate an outrigger.
It is also possible to surf or dive from the kayaks. Some hardy folks have even circumnavigated the island by kayak.
For years the Kosraean men have hunted the wild pigs in the mountains using machetes and dogs. It is possible to join a hunting expedition, but you need to be in very good physical condition in order to participate safely.
"Elixir for my soul."
"Amazing disconnect from urban daily live."
"Kosrae Village is a wonderful, magical place run by wonderful people."
"This place is amazing, and you can hear the surf from anywhere in the resort."
"The food is top notch"
"Was especially pleased to find a history of Kosrae in my cottage and the fridge stocked with fresh fruit. What a nice surprise!"
"Kosrae has one of the best reefs that I have seen in my 42 years of diving."

The home has its own air conditioning and heat controls but is rarely needed because of the temperate climate.

All have loved the accomodations and the location.

GRANDVIEW, Wash. - Grandview students are not giving up hope that one of their classmates will recover from Tuesday night's deadly car crash.
"Jovannie was the kind of guy that you just messed around with," said Daniel Cabanas. "Whatever you do you would always have fun. He's the most good-natured person I've met."
"I would say I love you, I love you with all my heart," said Armando Ambriz. "God Bless."
Jovannie Razo's friends are anxious to hear some news of their friend's condition. The 17-year-old was the only one to survive Tuesday night's accident. Three teenage boys were driving down Evans Road near Grandview, when they lost control and went into a tree.
Crews flew Razo to Kadlec Medical Center in Richland. NBC Right Now reported Thursday that the teenager was in critical condition. When we called for an update, we were told Razo's family didn't want to release information about their son's status.
"A lot of people are really sad of course, but I'm trying to make everyone stay positive and think of the good things like how they're in a better place and that Jovannie will hopefully get better, and I hope he does," said Jamilia Shafer.
Grandview High School students still holding on to hope for Jovannie, while mourning the loss of two other classmates--16 year olds Kevin Lopez and Carlos Ochoa.
The Basketball Boosters Club is holding two fundraisers Friday night during the boys and girls basketball games. During halftime, they'll have a three point shoot out and the cheerleaders are doing a dash for cash.
The money will be split among all three families of the boys.

My target race was June 21st but have decided to run a race in 2 weeks time. Any thoughts on training between now and then. My target tme for june was sub 40. should I try now for this. Its a fairly flat course.

I'm no expert but here are my thoughts: In general, should stick to your training plan but shift the hard workout to earlier in the week of the race - well that's what I do, i.e. front load the race week and run easy the days before. Then, race by how you feel as your A-race is over a month away. If you're "feeling it" and go sub 40 great, if not, you just put in a one hell of a tempo run and have a fitness baseline for the final stages of your training. I raced a sub 40 10k on April 19th. My plan was to go out in a 6:20, i.e. not blast the 1st mile, and take it from there. I didn't have a great day (legs a bit tight) but still pulled down a 39:11. You can check my log for the workouts leading up to that. Note that I'd run a strong 8k 3 weeks before as part of the 10k plan. I entered the 10k plan off a HM plan so had a good base.

Cheers for your thoughts. My legs a bit knackered at moment. 11 miles on sunday and 7.7 yesterday. I dont feel fresh any more always, running tired.. Perhaps I need to reduce the miles. will take a couple of days off.

I suggest you check your paces and why it is you are always running tired. To me this is this worst cycle a runner can get into: go like crazy, take time off to recover, go like crazy, take time off to recover, repeat, repeat. In my opinion it's better to run more within yourself on harder days, and jog or run slowly on easy days to recover. Consistency wins every time!
Age 60 plus best times: 5k 19:00, 10k 38:35, 10m 1:05:30, HM 1:24:09, 30k 2:04:33

Jim - It is slowly sinking in to my thick head that I have been running too fast. I have read the books and listened to my fellow runners who all say slower pace. I think my body has finally got through to my head. Im going to take it easy for the next week and see if I can recharge the battery before race on the 18th. I think a proper structured programme is needed before my main race on June 21st.
