Search Ends for Missing Pilots
Sun Oct 20,12:44 PM ET

(KCBS)--The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for four missing U.S. Navy pilots off the coast of Big Sur.

The U-S Navy identified the missing officers as 31-year-old Lieutenant Stephen R. Nevarez of New Orleans;
30-year-old Lieutenant Joel A. Korkowski of Phoenix;
27-year-old Lieutenant Matthew S. Shubzda of Dallas;
and 26-year-old Lieutenant Stephen N. Benson of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The water where the Navy F-18s crashed during a training exercise is about 11-thousand-500 feet deep.

There were four naval aviators in the F-18 Super Hornets when the planes went down 10am Friday, 80 miles southwest of Monterey.

The Super Hornets were based out of Naval Air Station Leemore in Kings County. Navy says the jets were taking part in a routine training exercise and were not carrying weapons. This is the first crash involving Super Hornets since the Navy launched the jets.

A client brought a litter of golden retriever
puppies to my veterinary clinic for inoculations
and worming. As the look-alike pups squirmed
over and under one another in their box,
I realized it would be difficult to tell the
treated ones from the rest. So, I turned on
the water faucet, wet my fingers, and moistened
each dog's head when I had finished.
After the fourth puppy, I noticed my talkative
client had grown silent. As I sprinkled the
last pup's head, the woman leaned forward and
whispered, "I didn't know they had to be
baptized, too."
