Asst. Fire Marshal changes smoke detector law

By Nicky Purser · Wednesday, July 30,2008 9:08 p.m.

Thirteen years ago, James Bennett witnessed the first fatality of his firefighting career when he had to carry a 12-year-old girl out of a house fire in Connersville, Ind.

Both tragedies might have been prevented had there simply been smoke detectors in the homes where those fires broke out.

Thursday is the last day to adopt two felines for the price of one at the Bloomington Animal Shelter. In celebration of June being American Humane Society’s National Adopt-a-Cat Month, and because cats breed in the spring and have kittens in the summer, the promotion continued through July.

Worth while movie sequels

Wednesday, July 30,2008 7:37 p.m.

There’s no point in arguing with studios’ obsessive turnout of sequels – established successful titles are safe and likely to bring audiences back in theaters, but in a summer with a new “Hulk” reboot and a very aged “Indiana Jones,” you sometimes wonder why movies that might actually deserve sequels don’t always get a number two. Here are some movies we wouldn’t mind sitting through a second (or third and fourth) outing.

No bluffing here, just talent

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, July 30,2008 7:30 p.m.
