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. (Photo credit: Scott Kingsley / Grand Island Independent)

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 weve 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 Haitis 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 Parmelees 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-wifes 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 reporters 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.
