Going places: San Diego more than just animal attractions
San Diego has the famous San Diego Zoo, Shamu pirouetting at SeaWorld, and the Wild Animal Park, where giraffes and rhinos roam freely. But the city has something other Orlando-style fun zones don't: natural beauty. Add a come-hither climate and distinct neighborhoods to the city's seaside good looks and you've got reason to get packing. The trendy Gaslamp Quarter, once the stomping ground of gunslinger Wyatt Earp, is now the 16-block sanitized epicenter of the city. Its meticulously restored Victorian buildings house an array of lively restaurants and shops. A rental car can land you at San Diego's surfer beaches and picture-postcard seascapes including the views from atop the emerald cliffs in tony La Jolla. Shift gears in dusty Old Town State Park, the authentic birthplace of California, where Mexican heritage is celebrated with margaritas, hand-patted tortillas and historical re-enactments without too much schmaltz.
District gives more answers on $25.8M proposal
Wellsville Central School District officials heard two years ago about $1 million in EXCEL (Expanding our Children's Education and Learning) Aid from the state and started looking into a capital project proposal. Through a building conditions survey, tours of facilities and many meetings with the Community Advisory Committee and the input of staff, architect and construction manager, the project grew into a $25.8 million proposal. It includes state building aid of 93 percent (for about 95 percent of the project) and the district can use $746,327 in EXCEL Aid. The local share will be about $2,269,509. The average annual tax impact from the 15 years of the project debt retirement on a $40,000 home would be $38 per year for a homeowner without a STAR exemption, $9 per year for someone with a STAR Program exemption and $0 per year for someone with a Senior STAR exemption.

Why Hillary Won
Obama's conflicting statements on Iraq. There's more -- and more powerful -- material available. Mr. Obama has failed to rise to leadership on a single major issue in the Senate. In the Illinois legislature, he had a habit of ducking major issues, voting "present" on bills important to many Democratic interest groups, like abortion-rights and gun-control advocates. He is often lazy, given to misstatements and exaggerations and, when he doesn't know the answer, too ready to try to bluff his way through. For someone who talks about a new, positive style of politics and pledges to be true to his word, Mr. Obama too often practices the old style of politics, saying one thing and doing another. He won't escape criticism on all this easily. But the messenger and the message need to be better before the Clintons can get all this across.

Father panics as SUV is stolen Woman takes vehicle with infant inside
A trip to return a DVD rental left a Las Vegas father with the worry of a lifetime Thursday morning when a woman stole the vehicle carrying his infant son. The man, who was not identified by police, stopped in front of the Albertson's at 7350 S. Rainbow Blvd. to return a movie to a storefront kiosk about 10:20 a.m. He left his son in the sport-utility vehicle with the engine running, Las Vegas police said. He was 10 to 15 feet from the vehicle when a woman hopped behind the wheel and sped away, officer Bill Cassell said. A Salvation Army bell ringer, who asked to be identified only as Fitzgerald, saw the vehicle zip by with the father running along the driver's side. .
