| 2nd Slaughterhouse Worker Arrested In Recall Case
A second fired worker has been arrested in a case involving alleged abuses at a Chino slaughterhouse that led to the nation's largest beef recall. Luis Sanchez surrendered to Chino police Wednesday and pleaded not guilty Thursday to three misdemeanors involving the illegal movement of sick or injured cattle. Prosecutors say he remains in custody in lieu of $15,000 bail and is scheduled for a pretrial hearing next week. An arrest warrant was issued Friday for Sanchez and his Westland/Hallmark Meat Company co-worker Daniel Ugarte Navarro. Navarro was taken into custody previously and released on bail. He faces five felony counts of animal abuse in addition to three misdemeanors. (© 2008 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
Communication can stave off headaches on car repairs
When it comes to spending money, the expense that causes the most angst is cars. A review of the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado files found car dealers and repair shops were the most popular complaints in 2007, similar to the level they did the year before. Each month last year, they were among the top 10 complaints received. And according to BBBSC executive director Carol Odell, those complaints will remain a fact of life. "That will always be because that’s not a science," she said of car repair. "It’s hard to determine what’s really going wrong." Because cars are used daily, what’s fixed one day may break the next and not always be related to the last repair, she said. "When a consumer brings their vehicle in for one thing, there could be other problems," said Blair Reeves, director of operations with the BBBSC.
Griffey decides to roll with Illinois
I told him when he signs his letter of intent, I'll buy him a car with his college money," said Chris Griffey. The Griffey family drove up from suburban St. Louis Saturday to attend Illinois' 83-75 loss to Purdue so Tyler could "officially" make his commitment in person. Griffey joins three other juniors -- Warren's Brandon Paul, Peoria Central's D.J. Richardson and Sterling's Joseph Bertrand -- in Illinois' 2009 recruiting class. "You've got to look at who you're going to be playing with," said Tyler Griffey. "I think us four can do something here. I'm excited." Griffey's commitment closed out an elongated recruiting chase. Missouri and Saint Louis gave Griffey scholarship offers while he was still in eighth grade at Rockwood Valley Middle School. Recruiting bonanza: Illinois' football program capitalized on the rare Saturday afternoon home game to bring more than 30 juniors and seniors to town for unofficial visits.
8 students treated for pain-pill use
What about the rest of society, can't they find the same inner piece in thier search? Why one people are allowed, another denied? Complex is an understatement. Glad these kids survived, but look at mankind in the broader picture. I'll lisen to suggestions, see more draconian laws, maybe we do the China solution, but you will have yet to find the answer in mankinds affinity for eutopia. .
A full house for HomeFront
The nonprofit began in 1990 when executive director Connie Mercer was informed of the many homeless families living out of motel rooms in the area. She and several friends began preparing hot meals for them, as well as providing recreation for children and transportation for adults to doctor’s appointments and job training. The organization officially became known as HomeFront in 1998. Laura Trzasko, development assistant for HomeFront, came up with the idea of merging poker with charity. "I really wanted to plan an event," says the 22-year-old Plainsboro resident, who joined HomeFront six months ago. "Poker is very popular right now," Ms. Trzasko says. "I feel like you can’t miss it when it’s always on ESPN." .
