Greek Festival features food, culture

It takes a lot of work to put on the Greek Festival.
      Every year about this time hundreds of parishioners of St. John The Baptist Greek Orthodox Church spend weeks cooking pastries and dolmatoes, which are stuffed grape leaves.
      "Everyone helps from the little ones on up," said Cathy Markakis, who is helping coordinate the event this year.
      This Labor Day she and 100 other women were busy mixing cookie batter and shaping it into tiny twisted rolls. Men pushed tall metal carts of trays laden with cookie batter down a path to be baked in the church's enclosed, outdoor oven, which can bake several hundred cookies at one time.

Illegal dumping a big problem in Southwest

Elaine Baker said her neighborhood is becoming a dumping ground.
      Her 3-year-old home near Riley Street and Twain Avenue is surrounded by commercial and residential developments. Behind her backyard block wall is an empty lot that's full of mounds of dirt, metal stripping, gravel, roofing and landscaping material.
      She claims pool, landscaping and construction companies are using it as a garbage heap while they're building new homes and businesses around her.
      The lot is owned by the Ruth Stapleton Trust and is zoned for ranch estate homes, which is the underlying zoning of the entire county. No request to change the zoning for development has been filed at the Clark County Planning Department.
