| Our View -- Our quick take on some of last week's news stories
The remaining reports involved the use of chemical spray and one officer using a baton to subdue a subject. The only time officers fired their guns in the line of duty was in 42 reports of killing a sick or injured animal. That means that Iowa City police reported using force for only .2 percent of the 66,952 calls for service (which resulted in 6,451 arrests and 6,685 citations). The estimated national average is about 1 percent of police. Officer Ryan Wood definitely showed the benefit of such restraint and clear-headedness when an ordinary underage drinking citation turned ugly early Thursday morning ("Chase ends with various charges, including robbery," Feb. 29). Police reports said that as Wood was writing a possession of alcohol under the legal age ticket for Michael Roy Schroeder, two of Schroeder's friends -- Michael Stanley Fabinski and Michael Alexander Bakerdjis -- ran up to the scene, grabbed Wood's ticket book and pushed the officer.

Retail renting and wardrobing really means short-term stealing. Yesterday's Boston Globe carried a story that examined the practice and included unabashed tales from some doofus who apparently couldn't tell right from wrong if you handed him a cheat sheet. From the Globe: Jimmy Deignan's first time was with a $500 portable DVD player. He bought it a few years ago at Best Buy for a Boston-to-Los Angeles flight, knowing he would return it for a full refund when he got back. More recently, in November, rather than spending $600 to rent a LCD projector for a business presentation, the Holden resident purchased one at Staples, then returned it a few days later and got his money back. The way Deignan sees it, he is just a smart shopper: He gets the things he needs, uses them for as long as he wants, and saves money.

Upscale new Centex neighborhood set apart from rest of Carolina Bay
Mention the Carolina Bay development, and people familiar with it might cite the main, lighted entrance off U.S. Highway 17 or that the 1,800-home village stretches from Savannah Highway to Glenn McConnell Parkway. But they may not realize that just one neighborhood at the present time can be reached via Glenn McConnell. It is Essex at Carolina Bay, which at least for now is not connected to the rest of the community. .
