One of the boards and commissions I represent is the Board of Health.

The Center for Disease Control continues investigation; updates at http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella.

From Chief of Police, Richard Oliva, 1/12/09: After a thorough investigation, the police department established that a registered sex offender was living within a restricted zone in the city. The department and City Attorney have begun the process to enforce the city ordinance that restricts where registered sex offenders can reside. In addition, our investigation determined that this offender violated the sex registry law by failing to report his change of address with the state. Today, we took him into custody and will be presenting him to the District Attorney for the felony charge. Arrested was: Darren L. Logue 7855 S. Scepter Drive #8; (Convicted of 2nd Degree Sexual Assault of a Child)
