Peoria running low on road salt

PEORIA - Local public works crews have been busy all winter, and now, they're in need of more road salt.

Peoria Public Works Director David Barber said the city has already dumped about 15,500 tons of salt on the roads this winter, costing more than $432,000. That's more than was used all of last winter and twice as much as the two previous years.

"We're going to go as sparingly as we can with the salt we have now," he said.

To combat the problem, the Peoria City Council will be asked to approve a contract for about $212,000 to purchase more salt.

The city has nearly 4,000 tons on hand, and the contract would cover up to another 5,000.

Barber said other areas across the Midwest have faced similar shortages.

In Peoria Heights, Public Works Director Bob Roth also has experienced problems.

"We're doing OK right now, but we're having to find different sources for salt," he said. "If this keeps up, it could cause problems down the road."

Fly naked on nudist holiday flight

Passengers must be clothed before boarding, dress before deplaning

FRANKFURT - German nudists will be able to start their holidays early by stripping off on the plane if they take up a new offer from an eastern German travel firm.

Travel agency OssiUrlaub.de said it would start taking bookings from Friday for a trial nudist day trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom, planned for July 5 and costing 499 euros ($735).

"It's expensive, I know," managing director Enrico Hess told Reuters by phone. "It's because the plane's very small. There's no real reason why a flight in which one flies naked should be more expensive than any other."

The 55 passengers will have to remain clothed until they board, and dress before disembarking, said Hess. The crew will remain clothed throughout the flight for safety reasons.

"I wish I could say we thought of it ourselves but the idea came from a customer," Hess told Reuters by phone. "It's an unusual gap in the market."

Naturism, or "free body culture" (FKK) as it is known in Germany, was banned by the Nazis but blossomed again after the Second World War, particularly in eastern Germany.

"There are FKK hotels where you can go into the restaurants and shops naked, for example," Hess said. "For FKK fans — not that I'm one of them — it's nothing unusual."

"I don't want people to get the wrong idea. It's not that we're starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that," he added. "We're a perfectly normal holiday company."
