DIANNE AND DAVE PARMLEY

Dianne and Dave Parmley of Grand Island, Nebr., have opened Just Desserts, a shop that specializes in cakes for all occasions, but Dianne bakes other desserts for sale every day -- brownies, lemon and other fruit bars, cheesecake cups, turnovers, cream puffs, and a small line of Greek pastries, including baklava. The Greek pastries are in honor of her husband's cultural heritage. Dianne says she will also provide special holiday baking, such as pies and cookies. "We can do specialty items or special requests, but we need at least between 48 and 72 hours," she said. Dianne is the head baker, and Dave and a part-time employee provide the extra help. She learned her love of baking from her mother and grandmothers, working alongside them in their farm kitchens, learning all the secrets of making good desserts. It's that farm freshness that Parmley wants to capture with her bakery -- a return to those traditions that made grandma's kitchen a very special place. Dianne also worked for 17 years in a grocery store bakery. "I got out of that, but I still had my love for baking," she said. "I still wanted to bake. That was my dream." The path she took to make that dream come true started with a bike ride through the streets of downtown Grand Island with her husband. "We saw a couple of buildings, and my husband told me, 'Be careful what you dream for,' " she said. Before they knew it, they found the right location. The couple and some friends did the remodeling to turn the building into a bakery. The Parmleys lives upstairs. Just Desserts, at 206 N. Locust St., is open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays; and closed on Sundays and Mondays; (308) 384-2764.

JENNIFER PARMELEE

Jennifer Parmelee [Alfred "Fred" Gray, Foster, William Goodell, Jared Henry, James, James, Phineas, Isaac, Isaac, John, John], spokeswoman for the United Nation's World Food Program, says the coupon-distribution program in Haiti is working to prevent strong young men from forcing themselves to the front of food lines after the recent earthquake. The agency, Jennifer said, "is aware of reports that our coupons have been resold, and we’ve also heard allegations of forgeries. However, all evidence from our cooperating partners who are managing the distributions ... is that this is not a widespread issue." Now, with hundreds of thousands leaving Port-au-Prince for the country, the program will have add distributions in the rural areas, requiring new assessments and strategies. "You can't just drive into a town and start handing out food," Jennifer said." And relief efforts are shifting, she says. "As we move beyond emergency food assistance to a longer-term food security strategy, the focus will be on investing in Haiti’s human capital.This new strategy includes boosting local agriculture production and supporting local markets across the country as well as providing safety nets for the most vulnerable."

... and from Olympia, Wash.: A unanimous state Supreme Court ruled that the state Department of Corrections must pay convicted arsonist Allan Parmelee’s attorney fees. The case stems from a July 2005 letter he wrote to then-prison secretary Harold Clarke. Allan complained about the treatment of prisoners at Clallam Bay Corrections Center, writing that he had discovered what was causing all the tension at the prison: "Having a man-hater lesbian as a superintendent is like throwing gas on (an) already smoldering fire." Allan was cited for violating an arcane 1869 criminal libel law and given him 10 days in isolation. Once out of the hole, Allan appealed his infraction. The Court of Appeals decided in his favor two years ago, ruling that the criminal libel statute was unconstitutional. Last year, the Legislature removed the law from the books. Allan remains in prison for firebombing the car of his ex-wife’s lawyer. He has filed hundreds of public records requests demanding judges, lawyers and jailers’ personnel records, photos, addresses, work schedules and birth dates. And he once threatened to tear out a court reporter’s fingernails.

MARLO DONATO PARMELEE

Donna Karan manager Marlo Donato Parmelee is glamorous, smart ... and suffering from multiple sclerosis. As the company's U.K. support manager, it's Marlo's job to ensure that no imperfection mars the brand's sumptuousness. "I tell everyone I have MS," she told interviewer Catherine O'Brien, "but I also tell them that if I can wear heels, then anyone can." At 37, Marlo of London has the incurable neurological disease that attacks the nervous system and can cause numbness, double-vision, muscle spasms, loss of balance and acute bouts of pain. Her illness was diagnosed five years ago after she struggled for months with symptoms that -- she says half-jokingly -- forced her out of 4-inch heels and into a pair of trainers. "Sometimes I lose my center of balance, but if that happens, I grab the stair rail and fake it." Like many people who learn they have a chronic illness, she read the stories of others. Some were helpful, some less so. When she failed to find a narrative that conveyed with raw honesty exactly what she was going through, she decided to write it herself. The result is "Awkward Bitch: My Life With MS" (AuthorHouse), a no-holds-barred memoir that reveals her bleakest moments. See the complete interview with Marlo in our Features section.

JAMES W. PARMELE

Fresh out of high school, Lt. James W. Parmelee deferred college to serve his country in World War II. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1951, he became an Air Force pilot who conducted reconnaissance flights during the Cold War. A biographical clipping from an unknown publication describes James as "at ease in any situation ... friends with the world ... endless self-confidence and ability ... would like to fly a brilliant-red jet plane, and trout fish in off hours ... insists Michigan is the playground of the gods." James was based at Sembach Air Base, about 80 miles southwest of Frankfurt, Germany, and flew one of two "jet photo" squadrons. On a flight in 1954, his plane crashed in Obora (German: Thiergarten), near what was then the border of East Germany and Czechoslovakia. His family knows little about the mission; his military record states death from an "aircraft accident." In January, brother David Parmelee established a scholarship in James' honor to support engineering students at the Seymour and Esther Padnos College of Engineering and Computing at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Mich.. The family holds out hope that with today's technology and the Internet, clues will surface about James' last flight.
