MICHAEL E. PARMLY
A
memo sent by the then head of the
U.S. interests section in Havana Michael E.
Parmly was among those made public by the
whistleblower site WikiLeaks. Fidel Castro almost died in
2006, according to the confidential U.S. diplomatic cable
which contains a detailed description of the Cuban
leader's medical condition from the moment he fell ill
with a perforated intestine during a flight. The memo,
sent in March 2007 by Michael, quotes a report by an
unnamed doctor, who said the plane landed urgently when
84-year-old Castro started bleeding.He was diagnosed with
diverticulitis or swelling of the colon and the doctor
said. Castro needed surgery. But according to the report,
Castro "capriciously" refused to have a
colostomy, with the result that his condition
deteriorated over time and he required further surgery.
The cable says Castro sacked the head of his medical team
after a Spanish doctor was brought in who told Castro he
should have had a colostomy as recommended by his medical
team in the first place.The cable goes on to note
Castro's renewed lease of life since then. Michael ended
his cable: "We are missing too many variables to be
able to predict accurately how many more months Fidel
Castro will live. Frankly, we don't believe anyone,
including Castro himself, can state that with
certainty."

PARMLY BILLINGS LIBRARY
A land swap will result in more space for
the construction of a Parmly Billings Library. Once the
transaction is complete, the City of Billings, Mont.,
will own the entire block where the library is located;
the 500 block of North 28th Street. The City Council
voted unanimously in favor of the agreement between the
city, Billings Clinic, and Stockman Bank. Last month, the
library received an anonymous $2 million donation to get
the ball rolling on the new library. The city library is
named for Parmly Billings, right, whose grief-stricken
family funded the original library
in his name when he died at age 25. "To have a lead
donor start at twice the amount that has ever been given
for a city project before is really kind of astonishing.
I mean it's really exciting for us," said library
director Bill Cochran. He said the library hopes to have
design plans for public viewing in a year from now. The
city will probably float a bond issue in 2011 or '12 to
fund the rest of the project, with a total project cost
in the range of $14 million. If voters reject the bond
measure, the $2 million pledge may go unfulfilled.

PARMALEE, THE BAND
Scott
Thomas, the 37-year-old drummer of the Greenville, N.C.,
band Parmalee, right, is undergoing
physical therapy for wounds he suffered during a Sept. 21
botched robbery. He was placed in an induced coma and put
on a ventilator, underwent dialysis, and had three
surgeries at Charlotte Medical Center after being shot
three times -- in the leg, stomach and shoulder --
outside a Rock Hill, S.C., nightclub by would-be thieves.
Investigators say two gunmen stormed into the band's RV
demanding money after the band had finished a show at
outside The Money nightclub near Winthrop University.
Reports state that after the assailants opened fire,
Thomas shot and killed Demario Burris, 22, and wounded
Dytavis Hinton, 22, of Rock Hill, S.C., . Hinton has been
charged with murder (because someone was killed during
the crime), attempted murder, burglary, attempted armed
robbery and possession of a gun during a violent crime.
Numerous fund-raisers are under way to help Thomas with
his mountain of medical bills. Michael and April Moore,
the owners of Play Date in Kinston, N.C., are holding a
benefit raffle; in less than a week 1,500 tickets were
sold. "Just think about if this was someone in your
family or one of your good friends and they needed help
in a time of need," said Michael Moore. "You'd
want to donate and help out." More than two dozen
local businesses have pitched in too. "These are
obviously very rough times for all of us right now and
the public support has been amazing. We have set up a
donation website to help with the medical bills, which I
can only imagine will be quite substantial," said
Josh McSwain, guitarist for the band. "Thanks again
for all the kind words, prayers, emails, texts and
financial support. We love you all and Scott will
definitely pull through this." The band has
postponed all performances until further notice. To help,

create its first real headquarters and a museum in the
Parmalee farmhouse to store and display local artifacts.
Selectmen have unanimously approved an agreement to lease
the 145-year-old farmhouse, purchased with 133 acres by
the town in 2001, to the historical society for $1 a
year. The 1847 Killingworth
homestead, which belonged to Horace
Linsley and Eunice Maria (Parmelee) Parmelee, is
on State Route 81. Horace [1819-1898; Moses, Asahel,
Lemuel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John] and Maria
[1822-1905; Rufus, Cornelius, Josiah, Nathaniel,
Nathaniel, John, John] were third cousins.
The historical society will lease only the building and
is responsible for renovating and maintaining its
interior, while the town will continue to be responsible
for the exterior of the structure. "Its been a
long time coming," said society President Robert
Broach. "This is great for us, and were very
appreciative of the towns willingness to lease it
to us." The groups presence will come as the
Municipal Land Use Committee continues work on long-term
plans to restore the farm for community use, including
educational programs, town picnics, cultural events and
its popular community garden. For the first time the
society will have a place to protect and publicly display
its archives, most of which are stored in the Town Hall
basement, Broach said. "It gives us a whole new
approach. Well be able to bring them to one place
and protect and catalog them. Part of the house will be a
museum," he said. Broach estimated there are two
years of work required to make the Parmalee farmhouse
suitable for public use. Among Killingworth's founding
families was Nathaniel Parmelee's, the
eldest grandson of John Parmelee Sr.

avert payment of several thousand dollars to the
fire department. A judge ordered Mathis to pay
the entire amount of the bill in restitution, but
he and his attorney argued that the payment issue
should be settled in civil court rather than in

taxpayers of our district," Dave said.

the Snowmass, Colo., resident warned the Town
Council that there will be consequences to
raising taxes "during an economic

the fate of a property tax to help purchase the
Droste property and fund transportation for the
town. Residential property owners would see
increases of about $65 per $1 million worth of
value; commercial property owners about three
times as much. The tax would sunset after seven
years, with the transportation funding portion
expiring in five years. Steve said businesses
would have to raise prices to cover the expense
of the tax, and the government would lose
revenues such as property taxes on the lots and
building permit fees because the Droste property
was not being developed. "Im not
saying its all negative, but there are
tradeoffs."

DIANNE AND DAVE PARMLEY
Dianne
and Dave Parmley of Grand Island, Neb.,
have opened Just Desserts, a shop that
specializes in cakes for all occasions, but
Dianne bakes other desserts for sale every day --
brownies, lemon and other fruit bars, cheesecake
cups, turnovers, cream puffs, and a small line of
Greek pastries, including baklava. The Greek
pastries are in honor of her husband's cultural
heritage. Dianne says she will also provide
special holiday baking, such as pies and cookies.
"We can do specialty items or special
requests, but we need at least between 48 and 72
hours," she said. Dianne is the head baker,
and Dave and a part-time employee provide the
extra help. She learned her love of baking from
her mother and grandmothers, working alongside
them in their farm kitchens, learning all the
secrets of making good desserts. It's that farm
freshness that Parmley wants to capture with her
bakery -- a return to those traditions that made
grandma's kitchen a very special place. Dianne
also worked for 17 years in a grocery store
bakery. "I got out of that, but I still had
my love for baking," she said. "I still
wanted to bake. That was my dream." The path
she took to make that dream come true started
with a bike ride through the streets of downtown
Grand Island with her husband. "We saw a
couple of buildings, and my husband told me, 'Be
careful what you dream for,' " she said.
Before they knew it, they found the right
location. The couple and some friends did the
remodeling to turn the building into a bakery.
The Parmleys lives upstairs. Just Desserts, at
206 N. Locust St., is open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Tuesdays through Fridays; 8 a.m. to noon
Saturdays; and closed on Sundays and Mondays;

TRAVIS PARMELEE
A drunken Travis
Parmelee, 36, of Jacksonville, Fla., was stunned
with a Taser and taken into custody May 7 after he
refused to stop heckling Tiger Woods on the 11th hole of
The Players Championship at the Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Travis, who was released from St. Johns County Jail the
following day, has been charged with disorderly
intoxication and resisting arrest without violence. Bond
was $1,500. Security guards on duty at the second round
of the golf tournament told Travis to stop yelling
several times before calling the sheriff, who dispatched
deputies to make an arrest. Sheriff's Capt. Dave
Messenger said Travis became more combative as officers
tried to calm him down. When he resisted being taken into
custody, he was Tasered once. Messenger said that Travis
had been drinking. (Photo credit: Bob Self / Florida

birth dates, not the calendar year ages, of the

years' probation and ordered to register as a sex

JENNIFER PARMELEE

Parmelee [Alfred "Fred" Gray,

Phineas, Isaac, Isaac, John, John], spokeswoman for
the United Nation's World Food Program, says the
coupon-distribution program in Haiti is working to
prevent strong young men from forcing themselves to the
front of food lines after the recent earthquake. The
agency, Jennifer said, "is aware of reports that our
coupons have been resold, and weve also heard
allegations of forgeries. However, all evidence from our
cooperating partners who are managing the distributions
... is that this is not a widespread issue." Now,
with hundreds of thousands leaving Port-au-Prince for the
country, the program will have add distributions in the
rural areas, requiring new assessments and strategies.
"You can't just drive into a town and start handing
out food," Jennifer said." And relief efforts
are shifting, she says. "As we move beyond emergency
food assistance to a longer-term food security strategy,
the focus will be on investing in Haitis human
capital.This new strategy includes boosting local
agriculture production and supporting local markets
across the country as well as providing safety nets for
the most vulnerable."

... and from Olympia, Wash.:
A unanimous state Supreme Court ruled that the state
Department of Corrections must pay convicted arsonist Allan
Parmelees attorney fees. The case stems
from a July 2005 letter he wrote to then-prison secretary
Harold Clarke. Allan complained about the treatment of
prisoners at Clallam Bay Corrections Center, writing that
he had discovered what was causing all the tension at the
prison: "Having a man-hater lesbian as a
superintendent is like throwing gas on (an) already
smoldering fire." Allan was cited for violating an
arcane 1869 criminal libel law and given him 10 days in
isolation. Once out of the hole, Allan appealed his
infraction. The Court of Appeals decided in his favor two
years ago, ruling that the criminal libel statute was
unconstitutional. Last year, the Legislature removed the
law from the books. Allan remains in prison for
firebombing the car of his ex-wifes lawyer. He has
filed hundreds of public records requests demanding
judges, lawyers and jailers personnel records,
photos, addresses, work schedules and birth dates. And he
once threatened to tear out a court reporters
fingernails. (His obituary)

MARLO DONATO PARMELEE
Donna Karan
manager Marlo Donato Parmelee is
glamorous, smart ... and suffering from multiple
sclerosis. As the company's U.K. support manager,
it's Marlo's job to ensure that no imperfection
mars the brand's sumptuousness. "I tell
everyone I have MS," she told interviewer
Catherine O'Brien, "but I also tell them
that if I can wear heels, then anyone can."
At 37, Marlo of London has the incurable
neurological disease that attacks the nervous
system and can cause numbness, double-vision,
muscle spasms, loss of balance and acute bouts of
pain. Her illness was diagnosed five years ago
after she struggled for months with symptoms that
-- she says half-jokingly -- forced her out of
4-inch heels and into a pair of trainers.
"Sometimes I lose my center of balance, but
if that happens, I grab the stair rail and fake
it." Like many people who learn they have a
chronic illness, she read the stories of others.
Some were helpful, some less so. When she failed
to find a narrative that conveyed with raw
honesty exactly what she was going through, she
decided to write it herself. The result is
"Awkward Bitch: My Life With MS"
(AuthorHouse), a no-holds-barred memoir that
reveals her bleakest moments. See the complete

JAMES W. PARMELE
Fresh out of high school, Lt. James W.
Parmelee deferred college to serve his country
in World
War II. After graduating from
the U.S. Naval Academy in 1951, he became an Air Force
pilot who conducted reconnaissance flights during the
Cold War. A biographical clipping from an unknown
publication describes James as "at ease in any
situation ... friends with the world ... endless
self-confidence and ability ... would like to fly a
brilliant-red jet plane, and trout fish in off hours ...
insists Michigan is the playground of the gods."
James was based at Sembach Air Base, about 80 miles
southwest of Frankfurt, Germany, and flew one of two
"jet photo" squadrons. On a flight in 1954, his
plane crashed in Obora (German: Thiergarten), near what
was then the border of East Germany and Czechoslovakia.
His family knows little about the mission; his military
record states death from an "aircraft
accident." In January, brother David
Parmelee established a scholarship in James'
honor to support engineering students at the Seymour and
Esther Padnos College of Engineering and Computing at
Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Mich.. The
family holds out hope that with today's technology and
the Internet, clues will surface about James' last
flight.

alphabetically, appeared in recent news stories:

Portland Borough Council informed a decades-old
organization that raises money for charities that
it could no longer use the authoritys North
Quay offices for its meetings. Alex wrote
Weymouths honorary Court Highclere of the
Ancient Order of Forester that the decision was
made because of health and safety fears, and
because the council could not rent out rooms,
despite having accepted £43 per quarter from the
court for the use of its offices since the 1970s.

chief is hoping an apartment complex built for
trainee firefighters can be turned into
affordable workforce housing for the wider

time getting full use of the building," Dave
said, describing the six-unit structure in Dillon
Valley. The structure was built in 2002 when the
department had a "robust" residential
firefighter program. Since the department can no
longer fill the apartments with firefighters, the
district's board has decided to try and sell the
building for $1.25 million and has approached the
Summit Combined Housing Authority to see if there
is any interest. Dave, at right in the

used to pay down the district's debt. (Photo

got back," said Rhiannon in late October.
She said there were no usual handicapped parking

There were no lumps or bumps, she said. "I
could not feel it. It was not in a position where
physicians could feel it, so my breast exam alone
it would have gone undetected."
