Joe Naiman 09.MAY.08
A 5-0 San Diego County Board of Supervisors vote on Tuesday approved the purchase of a forward-looking infrared system for the Sheriff's Department helicopter fleet.
The supervisors also approved the purchase of accessories and a two-year extended warranty, which brings the total warranty period to three years. General fund revenue will be used for the estimated $304,500 total cost. [MORE]Roaming Sheep

Her attempt to herd the sheep into the fenced portion of the county lot failed when a car drove into the lot. The tag on one of the sheep, No. 44, coincidentally matches that of the Ramona station — No. 44. The sheep grazed in the grassy area for awhile, but their whereabouts now is unknown.

Decorated Ranger dies in Afghanistan
While the country he was defending went about its business mostly undisturbed, Army Ranger Sgt. David L. McDowell of Ramona was fighting the Taliban near the badlands of Afghanistan’s lawless Helmand province amid air chock-full of talcum-like dust, sand that grabs at the boots, and scorpions that can kill in minutes. Shot and wounded, he was sent by Chinook to a British military base, Camp Bastion in the southern Afghanistan desert. There, he gave his body and life to the nation and his soul to eternal rest.
