Panelists may get big task
A group that usually reviews minor complaints against Winston-Salem police officers could soon be assigned to take on the most complex case that it has ever seen. If city council approves, the Winston-Salem Citizen Police Review Board would oversee a second review of the near-fatal beating of Jill Marker in 1995. Board members would work with an independent legal expert, who would have the power to conduct investigative work. City Manager Lee Garrity's request that the board review the case comes after his decision last Friday to withdraw a report in which Winston-Salem police reviewed the way they handled the investigation of the attack, which took place Dec. 9, 1995, in the Silk Plant Forest store off Silas Creek Parkway, where Marker was working as a manager.
FASHION STAYS THE KORS
BLAME Marc Jacobs or a glam-peasant Rachel Zoe if you want - that�s all she�s been wearing to the tents - but there�s a French �70s thing going on for spring. �Strident sexy American style with a sporty edge,� said the explanation notes for the Michael Kors show. His inspiration was socialite and style icon Slim Keith - the original �California girl.� The designer with the sun-kissed glamour obsession set the sunny �70s athletic tone with a swingy bright lemon-and-white tennis dress. He then swung through a Westchester check list of navy, pink and green that was an ode in equal parts to Yves Saint Laurent and the Preppy Handbook. Crisp safari-style jackets and pants alternated with cashmere and Lurex sweater dresses in sherbet stripes that were as yummy as a post-match cocktail. But he faced off the country-club favorites with pretty tiered silk-chiffon peasant dresses - big sleeves, off the shoulder - in polka-dot prints that he named for impressionist painters, so we can all look cultured.
