Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- A public memorial service for heavy metal rocker Ronnie James Dio is planned for Sunday, with members of the Westboro Baptist Church saying they will picket the ceremony.
The church in Topeka, Kansas, is known for its intolerance of gays and its picketing of soldiers' funerals.
SOAP LAKE, Wash. " A sheriff's office in Washington state has paid more than $400 to replace an inmate's locks and keys after a deputy left the keys on the back of his cruiser and took off without grabbing them.
Authorities in Grant County say Michael Eugene Power was arrested for violating a protection order. Before transporting Power, a deputy placed the suspect's keys and wallet on top of the closed trunk of his patrol vehicle.
But when the deputy was ordered to respond to a different call, he took off without grabbing the keys and wallet and they fell off. The wallet was returned to Power, but the keys have not been found.
The sheriff's office replaced the keys and locks for Power's home and vehicle.
Was late getting to the pool this morning. As I walked the sidewalk in that general area, some of the birds actually swooped in front of me, reminding me of my duty to toss the bugs out of the skimmers.

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. (AP) - Rehoboth Beach in Delaware isn't a topless beach " but a few transgender women caused a stir by treating it like one.
Police say passers-by complained after they removed their tops and revealed their surgically enhanced breasts over Memorial Day weekend. A lifeguard asked them to put their tops back on. They initially refused, but covered up before police arrived.
Even if they hadn't, though, Police Chief Keith Banks notes they were doing nothing illegal. Since they have male genitalia, they can't be charged with indecent exposure for showing their breasts. Banks says there's no need for a specific law to address the issue.
Rehoboth Beach commissioner Kathy McGuiness isn't so sure. She says the matter will be discussed at a town hall meeting next week.

Ratner hired to bring 'edgier' Snow White to big screen
Snow White is heading for a Hollywood make-over - movie bosses are preparing a big-budget blockbuster based on the classic fairytale.
The story was made famous by the Brothers Grimm and is best remembered in 1937 animated Disney classic, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", but other incarnations have included little-known 1997 horror "Snoww White: A Tale of Terror", starring Sigourney Weaver and Sam Neill.
Now Hollywood executives are hoping to follow the success of Tim Burton's recent re-imagining of "Alice In Wonderland" by bringing Snow White back to the big screen in an "edgier" modern tale called "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White".
"X-Men: The Last Stand" director Brett Ratner will act as a producer on the project.
Meet Bill director Bernie Goldmann, who is also producing, reveals several high-profile names have already expressed an interest in the film, but he's refusing to divulge any details.
He tells Variety.com, "Talent and directors of the highest level have already responded to the new, edgier concept, and to (the) script."
"While retaining the elements of the beloved Brothers Grimm tale, this is certainly not your mother's Snow White."
