Like an echo of Tom Cruise’s latest movie, is there a minority report on Bruce Rowan? |
Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney Chris Shea believes there are differing, minority opinions among Western State Hospital staff members when it comes to the possible “conditional release” of Rowan, a former emergency room doctor at Olympic Memorial Hospital. |
Shea, who opposes Rowan’s release to lesser confinement at Western State, intends to try to draw out those opinions when hospital staff testifies at a court hearing in Port Angeles on Monday. |
Superior Court Judge George Wood will decide after the hearing if Rowan has responded to treatment and is ready for release to an unlocked dormitory on the hospital grounds in preparation for living on his own outside the hospital. |
Rowan has been inside the hospital’s locked ward for the criminally insane since Nov. 4, 1998, after a Clallam County jury found him innocent by reason of insanity for killing his wife, Deborah. |

Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence — it was an unbeatable combo for an onscreen kiss in the Hunger Games movies. Hemsworth revealed, however, that the kiss was "uncomfortable" because of Lawrence's garlic breath. Cute? Not so much. |
Following Lawrence's footsteps by eating garlic, tuna, or onions before a kiss are obvious no-nos. But what else should we avoid? |
We're putting a stop to this bad breath nonsense. Here are eight foods to avoid before kissing. |
You might be tempted to throw one back before a first kiss, but alcohol dries up your mouth, and a dry mouth is prone to bad breath. Opt for something more hydrating, like water with lemon. |
Greek yogurt and other high-protein dairy products create a build up of proteins during digestion, which results in bad breath bacteria taking over. Yuck. |
We all rely on minty candies to save us from the horror of bad breath. But sometimes the sugar in these makes bacteria more active, making your bad breath worse! Instead, keep a travel toothbrush with you for desperate times. |
Like alcohol, coffee dries out your mouth. Even worse, the coffee taste lingers in there and fuels the odor. On your coffee date, opt for a hot or iced tea. |
An overload on protein breaks down into carbohydrates for fuel. One of the byproducts is ammonia, which can make for a smelly situation in your mouth. |
These ingredients leave a film of spice on the tongue that releases when you exhale. Lay off the salsa if you know your lips are likely to be getting some lovin'. |
We don't want you to eat nothing, though! Skipping a meal before a kiss can be even worse. Ketoacidosis is the breakdown in body chemicals when you fast or skip a meal. |
Translation? Smelly breath. Clean foods, fresh veggies, and endless amounts of water will keep you in the clear. |
In California's Sierra Nevada, where the population is booming, an unusual coalition works to preserve the region's sense of place. |
There are no retail franchises or fast-food chains in this historic Sierra Nevada mountain town, and Leea Davis wants to keep it that way. |
"We want to take care of this place so that it doesn't become just like every other place," says the curio shop owner, standing on a street so full of gingerbread gables, steeples, and preserved California Gothic architecture that visitors might mistake what century they are in. |
But a few doors up, at the Posh Nosh eatery, Vickie Tobey offers a contrasting view. "I don't see how you can put a fence around the place," she counters. "People here need to understand that the beauty of the area is going to draw more people. It's a fact of life." |
The comments of these two neighbors in this hamlet of 2,800 reflect a tension that has long existed in urban regions, but is now infiltrating rural communities across the country: the effort to balance growth and development with a unique sense of place. As more and more people migrate from cities to pristine rural are... |
But the debate takes on a particular urgency in the Sierra Nevada, an extensive mountain range where former mining towns - many with preserved historic districts - are sprinkled among ponderosa forests and breathtaking escarpments. Over the past 10 years, the pace of growth in this region's 21 counties has actually out... |
To head off some of the problems arising from such explosive growth, local businesses and citizens in 1994 formed the Sierra Business Council, a nonprofit organization created to "secure and enhance the economic and environmental health of the region for future generations." Loosely translated, the group aims to accomm... |
Results have been so promising that experts say the region stands as a kind of blueprint for other communities dealing with the pressures of development. |
"The American West is regularly confronted with what I call a false choice, namely that if you want development you have to accept significant degradation," says Tom Power, an economist at the University of Montana in Missoula and author of "Lost Landscapes and Failed Economies: The Search for a Value of Place." "The S... |
The longest single-block mountain range in the United States, the Sierra Nevada stretches some 400 miles. Naturalist John Muir called it "the Range of Light, the most divinely beautiful of all the mountain chains I have ever seen." In 1892, Muir began a militant fight to preserve the region's wilderness, resulting in t... |
Now the area is again under siege - far more so than in Muir's day. Specifically, the population is ballooning. After tripling in size between 1970 and 1998, the number of residents is now expected to surpass 1 million by 2020. Many of these newcomers are spilling over from Silicon Valley - either building second homes... |
The main impetus for the Sierra Business Council (SBC) came from Lucy Blake, a rancher who had moved to the area in the late '80s. Sparked by a 1993 Pulitzer Prize-winning series in the Sacramento Bee called "Sierra in Peril," Ms. Blake realized there was an untapped constituency that needed to take part in discussions... |
She began rounding up concerned citizens: a couple from Auburn, a man from Truckee, a logger from Chester, a manager of a paper company. Dismayed by the polarizing rhetoric that often found developers on one side and environmentalists on the other, the group, which held early meetings at a bed-and-breakfast in Auburn, ... |
"Typically, the history of the West has been for one side to push an agenda and the other sides to fight it," says Blake, now SBC president. "That can work if all the stars are aligned, but the victories can be fleeting if both sides' needs aren't met." |
Seven years later, what started as an educational and advocacy body has grown to a regionwide membership of 600 businesses, agencies, and individuals - from timber companies and software manufacturers to shop owners, ranchers, and casino owners. Beyond holding yearly vision forums and leadership seminars, and issuing p... |
"We are trying to preserve a pedestrian, human-scale community that is being lost elsewhere in California's sprawl but is still prevalent here," says Darin Dinsmore, SBC's director of town planning. "We are promoting a neighborhood form of development with mixed uses of housing, businesses, and recreation all within a ... |
One of the original 14 members was Mark Frisch, an urban refugee from the sprawl of San Diego. After running a restaurant for several years in Truckee, Mr. Frisch began to see signs of the same development pressures that had plagued San Diego - and he grew determined to do something about it. "Everything I was seeing c... |
In 1999, Frisch headed SBC's Placer Legacy Program, a project to help preserve Placer County's open space. Five years earlier, the county board of supervisors had passed a plan, which included agricultural conservation and endangered-species protection. But the open-space plan had languished on the shelf with no way to... |
SBC helped raise nearly $700,000 for the project, and then created a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) satellite program to assess county properties such as watershed areas, stream corridors, and scenic vistas, with an eye to establishing which were most in need of formal protection. |
After meeting with local officials, residents, and businesses, SBC devised a plan that met core concerns of environmentalists and farmers. Among other ideas, it proposed agricultural easements that pay farmers for the habitat value of their land. If certain farmers agree to cultivate rice instead of other commodities, ... |
Other SBC projects include preserving the unique community of June Lake, near the eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park; an open-space conservation plan near Lake Tahoe; and a 20-year planning document for Inyo County. |
"We wanted to create a vision for our communities for the next 20 years," says Julie Bear, county super-visor for Inyo County, which held an SBC-aided forum attended by some 250 people, from environmentalists to ranchers to businessmen. "[SBC] brought us so much factual data that helped us get around the rhetoric that ... |
Not every encounter in the region is a success story. Some residents still complain that too many people are coming into the area. Indeed, over 81 percent of the region's growth is from in-migration. |
And new residents need hardware stores, banks, and the occasional mall. Five miles down the road from Nevada City is an eyesore of franchises that looks like countless others in 50 states. But the overwhelming consensus is that such activity is being managed with the kind of care not often achieved in the West. |
"Right now, PG&E [Pacific Gas & Electric] is selling 10,000 acres of land just outside town, and people are worried whether they are going to sell it to developers or environmentalists," says Edward Falick, a Nevada City resident. "We have the confidence here that no matter which way it goes, the right kind of ... |

Airline spokesperson said an internal probe is ongoing into the incident, which took place on March 17. |
Mumbai: An Air India cabin crew member allegedly slapped her junior colleague for serving non-vegetarian food to a vegetarian passenger onboard a Frankfurt-bound flight, airline officials said. |
An Air India spokesperson said that an internal probe into the incident, which took place on March 17, has been launched by the carrier's inflight service department. |
The cabin attendant "by mistake" served non-vegetarian food instead of a vegetarian food to a passenger in the business class of its New Delhi-Frankfurt flight. The passenger pointed out the mistake to the cabin supervisor but did not file any complaint, a source said. |
On being told about her folly, the attendant went to the passenger and apologised. She replaced the meal as well, the source said. |
However, the cabin crew supervisor later took up the issue again with the flight attendant and this time even slapped her for the mistake, the source claimed. |
The junior colleague did not retaliate but later filed a complaint with Air India's inflight service department over the incident, the source said. |
"We have received a complaint from the cabin crew of the flight AI 121 (New Delhi-Frankfurt) . An internal inquiry has been set up to investigate the allegations in the complaint," the Air India spokesperson said. |
