Ranchio Mariposa hearing finds school compliant with use permit terms
A public hearing by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors ruled 3 to 2 that Rancho Mariposa school substantially complies with its county use permit after disputes over off street parking and easements. The planning commission had previously ruled against Gershon Furman who sold the land. Furman appealed and faced a modified permit detailing 15 parking spaces of 8 by 20 feet each. Furman has filed suit over easement and building concerns while the board limited its review to permit compliance.

Leftist militiamen seize hotels in Beirut amid ceasefire breach
Leftist militiamen ignore a newly arranged ceasefire and seize the Phoenicia and St Georges hotels while clinging to the Alcazar. Right wing forces and Lebanese army troops retreat along the seafront as dozens die and hundreds are wounded in the fighting that marks Lebanon’s eight month civil war. The ceasefire deadline passed amid continuing clashes and disputed terms. Proclamations by leaders failed to halt hostilities as snipers and machine guns fire near the Holiday Inn and Hilton.
