A 64-year-old woman who was trying to bring some groceries from her car into her Brooklyn home Monday was interrupted when the sidewalk under her suddenly swallowed her up. The sidewalk caved in, and the woman found herself in a sinkhole about 5 feet by 2 feet wide and about five feet deep. She was trapped under two large, heavy pieces of concrete and wasn't able to move until firemen arrived to help her.

A former bureaucrat has been appointed, at a cost to taxpayers of $1,500 a day, to oversee and make all the financial decisions at the Duffern-Peel Catholic school board. Norbert Hartmann was named to the post by Ontario Education Minister Kathleen Wynne. She said his salary, which is paid by the already impoverished Dufferin-Peel schools, is on-par with what was paid to previous supervisors who have been sent to balance the budgets of rebellious school boards. The two-member special assistance teams examining the mass of cuts being made in Toronto public and Catholic schools are also earning $1,500 a day, said a spokesperson for Wynne.
