Shopping for answers: Wig shop is happy to help women with health ...

DEAR SHOPPING: I saw in The Bee a story about wigs and/or hairpieces for cancer survivors and others suffering hair loss. Businesses that specialize in this sort of thing were mentioned. Unfortunately, I didn't remember, before throwing out the paper, that I "inherited" from my mother-in-law and her sister many years ago two beautiful hanks of hair. I simply do not know what to do with them. Can you help? -- Anne, Sacramento DEAR ANNE: Yes. That was a story written last month by The Bee's Cynthia Hubert about a business named Wigs R You. It talked about how as many as "90 percent of the shop's clients are women dealing with major health issues, mostly cancer." The owner of the business is Cindy Jacobs. You can contact Wigs R You at (916) 349-1722 or visit the store at 5910 Auburn Blvd., Suite 5, in Citrus Heights.

Support pours in for officer in shopping cart incident

BRADENTON - Bradenton Police Department Officer Nicholas Evans sat at the department's front desk, answering phones, unable to do the job he loves. He has been taken off road patrol as punishment for pulling a homeless woman's shopping cart next to his patrol car for 12 miles. A grin and a head shake are his only response to questions about the incident, but his surprise and disbelief at the national attention its drawn are clear. He says he wants to talk about it, but has been told not to by supervisors. Evans, 26, carries a handful of letters of support he has received from across the country, praising his compassion in helping Marie. L. Brooks. On Jan. 9, Evans arrested Brooks, 42, on a warrant in the 900 block of Martin Luther King Avenue East.
