ROSS PARMLEY

Tulsa athletic director Ross Parmley, 39, has been fired after he was named in an FBI investigation of a man accused of running an Oklahoma City gambling operation. University President Steadman Upham released a letter stating Ross "admitted he had not been truthful" about his role in the mess when he told him in October 2011 that he was cooperating in the federal investigation. In recently unsealed court documents, Ross is described as an "admitted gambler with [Teddy] Mitchell" who is scheduled for trial in April. "Ross told me that his involvement was solely due to a family connection to the person being investigated," Upham said in the letter. Ross was interim athletic director when that conversation took place; he became athletic director in January. The university says it is cooperating with an NCAA probe. Ross' attorney, Derek Chance, said his client was cooperating with investigators and that he wasn't a target of the FBI. "For obvious reasons, I specifically asked Ross if he had ever gambled on college or professional sports," Upham said. "He told me that friendly wagers during personal golf games constituted the extent of his betting activities. I took Ross at his word, as I had no reason to believe there had been any acts of impropriety or noncompliance." Upham said. Ross had been on administrative leave since Nov. 27. (See earlier story.)

• Abbie Parmele, the artist's work at a Lafayette, Ind., gallery was singled out in a review by Tom Shafer: "These landscapes become somewhat hushed among the salon-style display. The artist uses a subdued color palette in these secluded compositions. Even though small in size, they project a tremendous sense of quiet isolation. Each landscape is visually calm and gentle to the eye. In one piece the artist produces a single tree located off center in the upper-right section of the composition, the tree branches just reaching the horizon. A very smooth application of oil paint blends seamlessly into brushes, rolling hills and a soft blue sky."
• Allan Parmelee, the convicted arsonist's persistent requests for information about corrections officers, which eventually led the Washington Legislature to limit inmates' access to use of the Public Records Act, is in the news again. The state attorney general's office and the Department of Corrections each paid an open-government coalition $32,500 to settle a 2010 lawsuit. The Washington Coalition for Open Government argued the agencies attempted to cover up evidence that they had assisted a group of corrections officers who sued to stop the Department of Corrections from disclosing public records about them to Allan. In other words, the coalition claimed the state was secretly helping a group of state employees sue the state. The settlement was not an admission of guilt, officials said. (His obituary)

Just short of a first down, and with no time-outs remaining, the Chargers sprinted to the line of scrimmage and Cordier spiked the ball.

LARRY PARMLEY

The Carteret County, N.C., Sheriff’s Department confirmed that the body discovered near a wooded area near Newport is that of Goldie Hall, 90, who was declared missing more than a week earlier. A tip from Larry Parmley who lived nearby led to the discovery. Rhonda Hagan, 30, of Newport, N.C., has been charged with the murder of her great-aunt. Department detectives and State Bureau of Investigation agents found the body wrapped in a blanket in a wooded area about 300 yards northeast of the main gate of Garner Farms, near the Newport Flea Mall. Larry told authorities he had seen Hagan leave a nearby pasture the morning after firefighters put out a fire in Hall's kitchen. Hall's car and cell phone were at the house but there was no sign of her. Larry said it struck him as strange that Hagan was wearing a robe, shorts and either flip-flops or bedroom shoes. "She was covered with grass and weeds," he said. "She said she was back there working on fencing." Larry notified property owners Keith and Morgan Garner, who called the Sheriff’s Department, who then contacted Larry. "I walk my dog back there all the time. Sooner or later, the dog would have found her." Larry said he had known Hagan "from way back" and was stunned to learn of her arrest. Hagan was found to be indigent during the brief court hearing and a public defender was to be assigned to her.

ROY LEE PARMLEY

While awaiting final DNA results, Madison County, Ind., Sheriff Ron Richardson is confident the partially decomposed body found Aug. 5 is that of murder suspect Roy Lee Parmley. The clothes matched what Roy was last seen in, had graying hair tied in a ponytail and was found with two shotguns--including one in his hand--and a handgun, Richardson said. "The detectives on this case are confident it's Roy and would be shocked if it's not," the sheriff said. Roy is accused of fatally shooting Amanda Wiles, 31, in front of her mother and his ex-girlfriend, Terri Wiles, on June 9. According to a probable cause affidavit, Roy had two shotguns and was waiting for the two women when they walked into Amanda Wiles’ home. He attacked and bound them, according to the affidavit, and then told Terri he wanted to take away something she loved before shooting her daughter in the head. Authorities, who were searching for Roy for weeks, received numerous tips and filmed an episode of "America’s Most Wanted" that focused on the case. The man's body was found at the base of a tree by three deer hunters about 250 to 300 yards south of County Road 100 South, in a fence line between two fields, about one mile from Roy's home and three miles from Amanda Wiles' home. Richardson said search parties not made it that far south. No identification cards were found on the body; Roy's wallet was found at his home. His obituary.

PARMALEE & HOWE BUILDING

A local nonprofit has purchased the flood-damaged Parmalee & Howe Building in downtown Wilmington, Vt.. The Wilmington Fund, working with the Preservation Trust of Vermont, purchased the building on the corner of Routes 9 and 100, from Stern Holding Company Inc. for $200,000. Board Chairman Dan Kilmurray said his organization wants to renovate and lease the space within the multiunit building and then sell it. "Long-term we’re not interested in being landlords," he said. "We’d like to have our assets liquid to continue to help other business owners." Contractor Scott Reed, of Whitingham, Vt., was hired to start basic renovations and flood mitigation of the building. Wilmington suffered more than $13 million damage when Tropical Storm Irene flooded the area in August, destroying hundreds of homes and businesses. The 1930 brick building with its arched windows, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, first housed a drug store with a soda fountain; later occupants have been a hardware store, an upscale clothing boutique, and a coffee shop. Kilmurray added that the village economy won’t work without tenants in this building: "It’s incredibly visible. Anyone that comes into the town gets a bird’s eye view of the building. It needs to be occupied." While some downtown businesses have reopened recently, many others don’t have the financial resources to rebuild and repair their damaged buildings.

... and from Killingworth, Conn., comes word that former Selectman Jerry Lucas and Watchdog partner Michael Board addressed concerns about the Parmelee Farm complex's financial impact on the town. The farm off State Route 81 in Killingworth. Under the terms of the lease signed in 2010, the town is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the 150-year-old farmhouse and its surrounding area, which is intended to be restored and used as the Killingworth Historical Society’s headquarters. The house, observers say, is in such a deteriorated shape that it could cost $700,000 to make inhabitable, grossly exceeding the estimate provided by the historical society when it applied for the lease. "I want to stress that we are not against the restoration project itself," Lucas said in a statement after the meeting. "The problem is that the price tag is far beyond what we’ve been told."

ROSS PARMLEY

Retiring Tulsa president Steadman Upham has announced that interim athletic director Ross Parmley will be the Golden Hurricane's new AD after serving in the role for three months. He succeeds Bubba Cunningham who left for a similar job at North Carolina. Upham said the school's governing board decided not to wait until after his own retirement in June to act in light of conference realignment talks and discussions with the NCAA. "I just felt it was better for our university to have a leader who had stability and roots, who could represent us in the discussions with greater credibility," Upham said. "We were very, very fortunate that we had Ross. He is ready and able to step in." The 38-year-old Ross first served as director of football operations starting in 2005, then was the school's associate athletic director for operations administration for four years. He became deputy athletic director a month before Cunningham left in mid-October. "Our focus will be on the merger with Mountain West and Conference USA," Ross said. "The changes at the BCS level will have an effect on that, but our focus will be how we better position ourselves to the merger of the Mountain West. There are great opportunities from television revenue to a more stable conference long term will be a great asset to us in the future." Ross said he thought there was "a great possibility" that merger talks will involve all sports, not just football. Parmley inherits a football program that has made seven bowl appearances in the past nine years and a men's basketball team that hasn't made the NCAA tournament since 2003. "The state of our program is good. We want to get to great," Ross said.

... and from Killingworth, Conn., comes word that residents have overwhelmingly approved the town's decision to lease the farmhouse at Parmelee Farm to the Killingworth Historical Society. Nearly all of the roughly 150 residents that showed up to Killingworth Elementary School for the town meeting affirmed an agreement that had been in place for about year before its validity was recently questioned by two residents. Last year, town officials agreed to lease the farmhouse to the society for $1 per year for 99 years, with a requirement that the society be responsible for the interior upkeep of the building. A shorter lease was granted for the garage behind the farmhouse as well. After two residents questioned the process this fall, a selectman scheduled the town meeting to avoid any further discrepancy over whether the town charter required the lease to be approved by voters. The homestead belonged to Horace Linsley and Eunice Maria (Parmelee) Parmelee. Horace [1819-1898; Moses, Asahel, Lemuel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John] and Maria [1822-1905; Rufus, Cornelius, Josiah, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John] were third cousins.
