Saturday: A local blood bank is under investigation after several employees were found to be selling blood at local concerts and parties. Two of the suspects are held in county jail pending bail while a third remains at large. In other news, a local man, paragliding with his pet chihuahua had to be rescued Saturday after becoming stranded in a tree.
Sunday: A birthday celebration turned deadly Sunday as first the balcony where apparently too many had gathered collapsed, injuring at least a dozen. A fire pit turned over in the crash, spreading flames into the home as well. In all two people were killed and twenty one were injured, some seriously.
Ongoing: "Bugs!" There's something exactly right about the exclamation point in the title of this 3-D IMAX feature — it makes the film seem reminiscent of 1950s horror movies in which some hapless insect is irradiated, grows to monstrous proportions and terrorizes a town. Of course, nothing is irradiated here, but thanks to the IMAX screen, they do seem to grow to monstrous proportions. Good (if occasionally gross) fun. 40 minutes. No rating, suitable for general audiences. (IMAX at the Pacific Science Center, see movie listings for showtimes).
