Woman gives 3 Illinois waitresses $5,000 each

ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — Three waitresses at an Illinois restaurant say they could only stare in disbelief when a woman over the weekend handed them each a $5,000 check.

Mumbai:  While the scene was straight out of a Bollywood tearjerker, its real life implications were more disturbing than moving. A young 16-year-old girl, who was distressed when her family asked her to wait till she turned 18 to marry her beau, jumped into the Vashi creek to take her life on Monday morning.

Her somewhat more practical boyfriend also jumped in, but more because he was afraid that the police would arrest him if his girlfriend succeeded in taking her own life. Both survived the suicide attempt. Ulhasnagar residents Suraj Ganvir (22) and Pinky (16, name changed) had been in love for the past four years.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Red Cross delegates from the rival Koreas begun talks Wednesday on holding reunions of families separated since the Korean War ended in the early 1950s.

The meeting was arranged after North Korea last month agreed to resume the humanitarian reunion program that has been stalled since late 2010. South Korea has proposed the reunions take place later this month but North Korea hasn't responded.

The three-member Red Cross delegations from the Koreas met at a border village and their main morning session ended less than an hour after it started, according to Seoul's Unification Ministry. The delegates were to meet again in the afternoon, a ministry release said.

A key obstacle to the reunion's quick resumption is upcoming annual springtime South Korea-U.S. military drills that North Korea calls a rehearsal for a northward invasion, analysts say. The allies say the drills are defensive in nature.

North Korea has recently ratcheted down its typical harsh rhetoric against South Korea and called for better ties between the countries. Analysts say Pyongyang needs improved ties with Seoul to help lure foreign investment and aid. Last spring, tension on the Korean Peninsula spiked as Pyongyang issued a torrent of threats to launch nuclear strikes against Seoul and Washington.

The two Koreas share one of the world's most heavily fortified borders and their ordinary citizens are not allowed to exchange phone calls, letter and emails.

About 22,000 Koreans have had brief family reunions 18,000 in person and the others by video during a period of detente, but no one has a second chance to meet their long-lost relatives.

Flea: Our Guitars Were Unplugged

No need to speculate any longer. Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea wrote an open letter explaining that the band's instruments weren't connected to amps during the Super Bowl halftime show. "When we were asked by the NFL and Bruno to play our song 'Give It Away' at the Super Bowl, it was made clear to us that the vocals would be live, but the bass, drums and guitar would be pre-recorded," he wrote. Flea added that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are normally opposed to "any sort of miming," but agreed to do it and decided not to pretend they were plugged in. "It was like making a music video in front of a gazillion people," he wrote.

A Brampton man was pronounced dead after emergency services spent 45 minutes extricating him from under his truck.

Peel Region EMS said the man was already without vital signs when paramedics arrived on scene at a house on Drayton Cres. at about 4:15 p.m Tuesday.

Peel Regional Police said the man lived alone, and was likely working on his pickup truck in his garage before it fell on him.

A neighbour saw him motionless and contacted emergency services, police added.

Police said there will be investigations on how long the man was under his car and his exact injuries, but there will likely be no criminal charges filed.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A woman who escaped from a Michigan prison nearly 37 years ago while serving time for attempted larceny was found living under an alias in San Diego, police said Tuesday.





Acting on a tip from the Michigan Department of Corrections, San Diego police went to an apartment on Monday in the Hillcrest neighborhood, where a woman matching the description of fugitive Judy Lynn Hayman answered the door.

She identified herself as Jamie Lewis and produced government documents with the name, San Diego police Lt. Kevin Mayer said. Officers, however, remained suspicious because of inconsistencies in her story and her resemblance to an old Michigan mug shot they were holding.

"Her eyes gave her away," Mayer said. "The eyes in the picture matched the eyes of this woman."

The officers took her to a police station, where she eventually acknowledged being Hayman, Mayer said.

Hayman, 60, was being held in a San Diego County jail awaiting extradition to Michigan, where she escaped from the Ypsilanti prison in 1977 while serving time for attempted larceny, Mayer said. He did not know if she had retained an attorney and no court date had been set.

When she escaped, Hayman was about halfway through a minimum sentence of 1 1/2 years for attempting to steal clothes from a Detroit-area store.




Corrections Department spokesman Russ Marlan said Tuesday she must be returned to prison to finish the sentence, which has a maximum term of two years. The state parole board typically determines whether an inmate can be released after serving the minimum.

"We can't just write it off," he said. "We don't have the ability to say it's been a long time, you're free to go," he said.

Authorities in Washtenaw County, Mich., where the prison is located, would decide whether additional charges related to the escape are filed, Marlan said.

It was not immediately clear how long the woman had been living in San Diego. Her 32-year-old son was visiting when police arrived, and officers said he appeared stunned by their questions.

"This seemed very much a surprise to him," Mayer said.

He did not have the son's name, and public listings for the residence under the name Jamie Lewis did not include a phone number.

Neighbors said Hayman had lived in the complex for several years and mostly kept to herself.

Neighbor Maria Lopez, 60, told the U-T San Diego newspaper that Hayman did not appear to work. She said people came by the house to do her laundry, and she had frequent visits from her son.

Mayer said he was impressed by the investigators' ability to "put some dots together" and provide San Diego officers with the right address after nearly four decades.

"I commend them for their tenacity," he said. "This is a very old case."

The case is similar to that of Marie Walsh, who also escaped from a Michigan prison when she was known as Susan LeFevre.

Walsh had served 14 months of a 10-year prison sentence for a heroin deal when she fled in 1976. She was found living under an alias in San Diego, in 2008.

Walsh spent 13 more months in prison then returned to San Diego where she resumed her life with her husband of more than 20 years and wrote a book called "A Tale of Two Lives" about her ordeal.
