ANDY PARMLEY

Andy Parmley of Droitwich, Worcestershire, England, and his dog Harry visited the University of Bristol School of Veterinary Science for an appointment about Harry's skin allergy. Andy, of Coppice Way, said the first thing he noticed out of the ordinary was being stopped by security while driving in. "The whole site was really busy with lots of people in suits, he said. "As I went in to reception all the staff behind the desk started clapping, and I thought I was late or something." Andy soon learned that he had arrived just before a visit by the Duchess of Cornwall and that the staff was worried that there would be no clients for Camilla to meet. "It was quite a shock," Andy said. "About 10 minutes before she was due, all the press arrived." By the time Camilla arrived, the reception area was packed with about 40 people -- hospital staff and press. Camilla spoke to some of the staff and then came over and said hello to Andy. "She asked about Harry and what I thought of the hospital and treatment. She also shook Harry's paw which was edited out of the ITV news item. I thought it was the best bit." Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, is the patron of the Langford Trust for Animal Health and Welfare, which educates the public about animal welfare.

Parmely, the former correctional officer at the Dwight, Mich., prison for women has been sentenced to one year of probation and 15 weekends in jail, after one felony count against him was dismissed and another reduced to a misdemeanor. The 38-year-old Odell, Mich., man pleaded guilty to misdemeanor attempted obstructing justice just before his case was to go to trial in Livingston County Circuit Court. He had been indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts, each count alleging he gave false information to an investigator during a criminal interview about sexual misconduct at the prison. He started as a correctional officer at Joliet Correctional Center in 1995 and was transferred to Dwight in 2000. He was placed on administrative leave March 12, 2006, and discharged Nov. 28, 2006. [A note from Tony: I did take a plea because ... my lawyer dropped the ball. He had my case for over nine months, and, two weeks before we went to trial, he said he would look at it (he is good friends with the D.A). I was looking at two felonies and it was dropped to attempting to obstruct justice. The one count was inmates saying I did something but ... it was proven I didn't do anything; the second was an inmate [doing something non-sexual to another inmate] for cigs on a day that it was proven I wasn't there. The union did nothing to help. The only reason I took the plea was so my family would not have to go through all of it over again. ]

JESSICA PARMELEE

Students at Oswego High School in Oswego, Ill., said they wanted to warn against teen drunk driving, but two of them were suspended over T-shirts the group wore. About 50 teens during homecoming week wore red shirts that read "Seniors .08" on the front and "Don't blow it" on the back, playing off Illinois' legal blood-alcohol limit, the Aurora (Ill.) Beacon News reported. Students said they made the shirts in response to a Feb. 11 drunk-driving crash that killed five local teens. Suggesting that the slogan could encourage teens to get away with alcohol, Principal Mike Wayne said that the students "seemed to know they were pushing the envelope with that shirt. I think it could be interpreted as promoting drinking." The teens were told to change their shirts or flip them inside out, but seniors Jessica, pictured on the left, and Katie Kusnierz, both 17, refused and were suspended for a day. Their parents said they supported their daughters' decisions. "It's more important that my daughter stands up for what she believes in," said Rebecca Ostrega, Jessica's mother. "She didn't do anything wrong." (Photo credit: Travis Haughton / The Beacon News)

SYLVANUS PARMELY

It was moving day for the 1840 farmhouse built by Sylvanus (1784-1874) [John, Jeremiah, Lemuel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John] at Sullivan, Ohio. Present-day owners Ray and Ginny Dilley say the original brick foundation was crumbling and that U.S. 224 was just too close for comfort. So, they built a new foundation and had crews lift the old home to its new location, about 250 feet farther back from the heavily traveled highway. Sylvanus' family and six other families left Vermont for Ohio in 1817, making the six-week journey by wagons pulled by oxen; Sylvanus walked the entire distance. Once settled, he operated a sawmill and a general store. In 1845, he was elected to the House in the Ohio General Assembly. The home passed through many hands over the years, however, much of the history splintered with time, leaving the Dilleys without much information. Former owners JoAnn and the late Jim Richards had the house in their family for years. The farm had been in JoAnn's family since 1922. The Richards, however, never lived in the Parmely House. They lived in the farmhouse next to it and rented the Parmely House to various residents. The Dilleys bought the place after just one visit to Sullivan. "We were looking for a dairy farm and my husband loved the land," Ginny said. "I was lucky because most farm houses aren't so pretty."

CHARLES PARMALEE

Charles, 63, of Albany, N.Y., and his family were among those building 12-foot Bevins Skiffs in Portland, Maine, at the fourth annual Boatbuilding Festival at Monument Square. More than 100 participants formed 20 teams to piece together their crafts in three days.

Charles -- at left with Lark Parmalee, 9, Joel Kirk, Lianne Parmalee, 10, and Jan Parmalee -- said his family plans to keep the skiff they helped build to use on Panther Pond in Raymond, Maine, where they have a summer home. The Parmalees were joined another Panther Pond family, the Kirks of Simsbury, Conn., at the workshop. The two clans plan to share the skiff after they finish and paint the exterior. The families, which including six children, have not settled on a name, Charles said. "There are too many diverse opinions. We might have to drop them into a hat," he said, and draw the winning name..(Photo credit: Shawn Patrick Ouellete/ Portland (Maine) Press Herald)

VIOLA PARMLEY

Any given night, the Salvation Army homeless shelter for women and families in Lexington, Ky., is packed beyond its 132-person capacity. An overflow of women -- sometimes up to 20 of them -- sleep on lounge couches or mattresses on the lobby floor. "It is crowded," said Viola, 31, of Nicholasville, Ky. "I was here four years ago, and it's nothing like it is now." Viola lived at the shelter for two months this spring. On June 9, Viola gave birth to a daughter, Antonia Boaz, who lives with her in a small family unit at the shelter. "It's a wonderful place," she said. "Without this place, a lot of people would lose their children and be out on the street." She said she came to the shelter after separating from her boyfriend and finding that she could not afford to live independently. During the last months of her pregnancy, Viola finished an associate degree in accounting at National College. When she recovers, she plans to get a job and save enough money for a place of her own. Women, children In 2001, 15% of people living at the shelter were family groups; by 2005, it was 40% families. The Salvation Army shelter is only for single women and families; homeless single men can find emergency shelter at The Hope Center. In 2001, the shelter provided 22,903 nights of lodging; by 2006, it provided 32,534 nights of shelter. Eighty-five percent of residents are from Lexington, but last year the shelter served people from 60 Kentucky counties. (Photo credit: Charles Bertram / Lexington Herald-Leader)

KELLEY PARMELEE

Usually, mail carrier Kelley of Cadillac, Mich., is the one doing the delivering but after a house fire destroyed her home last October, it's her friends who are delivering. To help Kelley and her two children, coworkers, downtown businesses and other customers on her route collected groceries and gift certificates. Her home was a total loss. "The house is still standing but if you take a look inside, you would see it is gone," she said, "I don't know what woke me up. I think it was an angel," she said. Dawn Richardson.was responsible for passing out flyers around Kelley's route asking for help. "I pretty much went through her route," Richardson said, "but concentrated on her businesses. A lot of people didn't know that Kelley lost her home to a fire. I thought it would be nice to have a small gift of kindness because it can really cheer a person up." Originally, the donations were supposed to be a surprise but Kelley found out accidentally. She said in November that she and her children were still looking for a place to rent and itemizing their loss, but considered themselves lucky. "I don't wish this on anybody but it's just stuff," she said. "The kids and I are safe and that's all that matters when it comes down to it."

ROSCO THOMAS PARMLEY

Rosco [John Ballenger, Chrisman, Aladdin, Garner, John, Giles, Hiel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John], 76, knew he wouldn't have much time to act as he looked down the barrel of a gun in the hand of the masked man trying to rob his Eastside Indianapolis jewelry store. "I just knew he was going to do something," Rosco said. "I saw my opportunity, and I took it." The face-off last October at Rosco Jewelry ended with the robbery suspect dead and his brother, arrested as his suspected accomplice, facing the potential of murder charges. Rosco's East Washington Street jewelry store has been a fixture for 34 years. He started out dealing in rare coins, then expanded into gold and other jewelry. And he also sells firearms. "Everybody in the neighborhood knows they are armed," Indianapolis Police Detective Marcus Kennedy said. The suspects apparently knew it, too. Corey, 18, and Nicholas Artry, 20, cased the store days before the botched robbery, police said, and saw the warnings inside -- shelves of firearms, a shotgun openly displayed and a sign that reads "We Don't Call 911." Undeterred, the brothers went into the store armed with a .22-caliber handgun and a knife, according to police and witness accounts. The Artrys quickly found themselves outgunned, police said. The incident began about 10:40 a.m., when two masked men demanded cash, according to police. Rosco said he had just sat down in a back room to eat breakfast when he heard the commotion and found himself staring at an armed man who had jumped over the counter. The man took turns pointing the pistol at Rosco, his wife, Hwa-Lan, 65, and employee Michael Ross, 53. The man's partner jumped another counter, police said, and held a knife to the throat of jeweler Gary Brown, 49. The men demanded money and access to the safe. Just then Hwa-Lan blurted out that she recognized two as customers she had seen in the store two days before. At that moment, Rosco, a retired Air Force veteran, said he felt the situation was going to end badly. The gunman would likely perceive the burly Ross as the biggest threat, Rosco figured, so he waited until the man focused his aim in that direction. Rosco then reached into his front pocket for his .38-caliber handgun and fired, striking the gunman five times. Corey Artry stood for a few heartbeats, Rosco said, then wobbled toward the door. By the time police arrived, Rosco and the employees had Nicholas Artry cornered in an upstairs portion of the store and Corey Arty was dead inside the front door. One stray bullet hit a car across the street, parked next to an IPS Early Childhood Center; no one else was hurt. Nicholas Artry faces preliminary charges of robbery and murder. Indiana law states that anyone involved in a crime that leads to a killing can be charged with murder, even if the individual didn't directly cause the death.

MARTIN EGBERT PARMELEE

Two Knoxville, Tenn., homes being restored by Knox Heritage have a connection to architect and Civil War drummer boy Martin (1852-1945) [Egbert Benson, Phineas Meigs, Phineas, Phineas, Isaac, Isaac, John, John]. Martin and George Barber were recent newcomers to Knoxville when they established the Barber & Parmelee architectural firm in the late 1880s. Hoping that warmer weather and area's mineral water would revive him, Martin moved his family to Knoxville in 1888. The family brought with it a snare drum from Martin's Civil War service. He wasn't yet 12 when he'd been a drummer boy in the Union's 29th Wisconsin Regiment. Barber's brother, contractor Manly DeWitt Barber, also worked on the homes. A business card lists Martin as the business' "superintendent" and George Barber as its "artist." The partnership was short-lived; by 1890 Martin had set up his own office. Dean Barber, a grandson of both Manley Barber and Martin, was quoted recently in the Knoxville News Sentinel as saying Barber & Parmelee didn't last because the principals "had extreme differences in architectural vision." Barber, he said, was more flamboyant, creating Victorian-era houses with turrets, bay windows and gingerbread trim., while Martin liked more conservative designs. After the business partnership dissolved, the two families remained friends. Manley's son David West Barber married Carol Parmelee; Dean Barber is their son. Martin worked as an architect until his 80s and died at age 93 in 1945; his drum was handed down to Dean Barber, who later gave it to the East Tennessee Historical Society museum. The houses are at 1618 and 1620 Washington Ave.

JULIA MORGAN

The Oakland, Calif., YWCA, built by Berkeley architect Julia Morgan (1872-1957) [Eliza Woodland, Albert Ozias, David, Bryan, Jonathan, Joshua, John, John], has been sold to an unnamed buyer, according to the Jan. 28 editions of the Oakland Tribune. The building had been on the market for six months, and the sale price has not been disclosed. The five-story Y, designated city landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, stands at the corner of 15th Street and Webster. It's notable for its pressed-brick veneer exterior, punctuated by polychrome terra cotta ornamentation, in keeping with its Renaissance palazzo-inspired style. When it opened in 1913, the Oakland Y was the first of a string of 18 Y's designed by Morgan, who won fame for her unusual, open, flowing style, which helped put California architecture on the map.
