| 2004 death of Kathleen Savio ruled a homicide
Thursday marked the first time Savio's death has been classified a murder, said Glasgow spokesman Charles Pelkie. Homicide is a technical term meaning that a person died at the hands of another. It does not necessarily mean the death was the result of a criminal act.
Thursday's announcement was a step forward in an investigation that has been before a special grand jury since November.
The development was encouraging to Savio's sister, Anna Marie Doman.
"We've always known in our hearts that it was [murder], but now finally we're getting some confirmation and it will be investigated the way it should have been," she said. "I think they should really investigate the people who blew it the first time. . . . [A]ny blind man could have seen that it was a homicide."
On March 1, 2004, Savio, 40, was found face down in the dry bathtub of her Bolingbrook home just weeks before her divorce settlement with Peterson was to be finalized.
As the snow flies, defining moments, redux
I was eight months pregnant in January of 1977. My husband was in western Canada for a week. This was my third child, not my first. We'll be fine, I told him. And we were. We were better than fine. It began snowing two days after he left - thick, fat flakes that drifted and covered the rail fence in the front yard, that sat upright on telephone lines, that turned the neighbors' roofs white and the world, all we could see of it, into a giant snow globe. My children cheered. They were 5 and 7 and school was canceled. They sat on the couch in their pajamas, wrapped in blankets, not arguing, not even poking one another - just watching cartoons and eating an Entenmann's Raspberry Danish Twist. We lived on junk food then. I made pancakes with chocolate chips and chocolate chip cookies and then I sat and watched TV, too.

We have to give people reasons to live here, and having a job here is one of the very best reasons, " said Michael Kent, an alderman and attorney who has lived in Waterloo since 1995. "Raising awareness of who we are and what we have to offer is very important. " Perry Judd 's, which printed Time, People and Sports Illustrated magazines for Time Warner, has three warehouses, a manufacturing facility and a corporate office building available. The properties are assessed for tax purposes at $5 million, said City Clerk Morton Hansen. The former McKay Nursery offices and the old J.G. Van Holten pickle plant are no longer in use. There are four vacant lots on the city 's northeast side that also are primed for development. The city has internationally known bicycle manufacturer Trek (one of the largest employers in Jefferson County), McKay Nursery, Van Holten 's Pickles and equipment manufacturers Sussek Machine Corp.
Naples firefighters, 87-year-old neighbor, form unique family-like ...
Alone on the floor with a broken arm and a cracked pelvis, Edith Tietz crawled to her rotary telephone inside her Naples home last October. Though she had fallen and was in pain, the 87-year-old knew just who to call for help. She didn't call 911. She didn't call her next-door neighbor. When Edie Tietz fell, she called her pals at Naples Fire Station 2. They, in turn, rushed to her home on 22nd Avenue North, blocks away from their station on 26th Avenue, and took her to the hospital. That, as they say, is what friends are for. “I called them when I fell," Edie said on a recent January afternoon. “I didn't pass out, but I didn't get up right away." After Edie's fall, Lt. Mike Nichols - a Naples firefighter for about 15 years - was surprised to find a handwritten note in her home with a list of firefighters' phone numbers on it.

McCain 40%, Romney 32%, Huckabee 22%
Given that these states leaned blue, what is clear that Mitt Romney battled to within a single digit deficit nationally of the frontrunner, making this the closest nomination contest since 1976. For a campaign that started at 3% in the polls, it came a long way. But it's confronting a harsh reality tonight, with an inability to break out of the low thirties in any primary state Mitt Romney has not called home. The "big winner" of the night finished third, racking up delegates thanks to his concentrated strength in the South. On the Democratic side, Clinton and Obama were within 25,000 votes of one another by my count. The NBC delegate tracker had it at 841 for Obama, 837 for Clinton. We now move on to the Maryland and DC contests, which lean Obama, and the Virginia primary, which is open to Republicans and independents.
