| Girl dies in ATV accident
The Jackson County community has lost two of its youngest members in traffic crashes over the past few days, the latest taking the life of a 12-year-old Sneads girl. Jamie Messer died Sunday from the injuries she received in an ATV accident just over the county line in Calhoun County Saturday afternoon. According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, Messer was a passenger on a 2007 Honda ATV being driven by 15-year-old Jeremy Leigh. According to reports, the ATV was eastbound on County Road 286 when Leigh slowed suddenly for a slower-moving ATV, lost control and applied the brake. Her ATV flipped over, ejecting Leigh and Messer. Leigh, also of Sneads, was listed as having sustained serious injuries. Students at Grand Ridge Middle School on Monday filled a wall in their school with pictures and other remembrances of their fallen seventh-grade schoolmate.
J.LEAGUE: The Nabisco Cup? Better than nothing
Winning the Nabisco Cup is a little like taking the title of Miss Photogenic at a beauty pageant. It's a consolation prize the victor may temporarily go gaga over, but one the rest of the world will struggle to recall who won in a week's time. Not that it matters to this year's finalists, Gamba Osaka and Kawasaki Frontale, both of whom have failed to meet loftier preseason goals and as a result will now gladly settle for the fourth-most sought after trophy in Japanese soccer behind the Asian Champions League, J.League and Emperor's Cup titles. Big deal or not, Saturday's final at Tokyo's National Stadium promises to be a barn burner as the teams both have reputations for playing free-flowing, attack-minded football. Gamba currently lead the J.League in goals scored with 65, while Frontale--last year's top marksmen--follow with 58.
Hearing focuses on health, safety of nail salons
SAN FRANCISCO Lam Thi Le, 58, recalls experiencing dizziness, skin rashes and headaches on a daily basis. She believes it was from working in a nail salon. Nail salon workers use products containing toxic ingredients such as formaldehyde, toluene and phthalates chemicals linked to host of illnesses, including cancer, or respiratory or reproductive problems. Le is one of several workers who testified Thursday before a state senate hearing at San Francisco City Hall on the safety and health of nail salon workers. "With my limited English, I accepted the job as a manicurist, even though I have suffered a lot of bad health symptoms as a result of this work," Le said in Vietnamese. An estimated 80 percent of nail salon workers and owners in California are Vietnamese.

Getting To The Root Of Caring For Your Hair At Any Age

Kicked Back Classics sounds right to everyone
Kicked Back Classics is for grown-ups. It features music by Ravel, Beethoven and Boccherini -- in a nightclub. Kicked Back Classics is for kids. It features selections such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Mother Goose Suite" in a child-friendly museum. Both assertions are correct. The Richmond Symphony's next Kicked Back Classics offering, "To Grandmother's House," will be performed tonight at Toad's Place and Freemanrepeated Sunday at the Science Museum of Virginia. The program is a mix of fairy tales and things that go bump in the night. Basically, it's the same pieces, different interpretations. Erin Freeman, associate conductor of the Richmond Symphony, leads its KBC series. "My philosophy is that music is music," she said in a recent telephone interview between rehearsals.
Johnson's energy delivers viewers
There's no need to remind Kristine Johnson that time is a highly precious commodity. As a wife, mother and co-anchor of WCBS-TV's 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts -- who commutes to Manhattan from her home in Ridgewood -- she's keenly aware of how large a chunk of the day has already passed by the time her later newscast comes on. "At 11 o'clock, people are just so tired," says Johnson, who co-anchors both programs with Chris Wragge. "In this day and age, people are getting up at 5, 6 o'clock in the morning. ... It's just a very hectic lifestyle. So, at 11 o'clock, people don't have time. They probably want their news a little quicker than normal, but they still want to get a good variety of stories. We can't have them go to bed hungry for more news." Johnson and Wragge apparently have been doing a good job of quenching viewers' appetites.
