The city of Las Vegas honored the winners of this year's high school science bowl.

The Meadows School finished in first place for the second consecutive year. City Councilmen Steve Ross and Bob Beers honored the team with certificates.

They also honored the teams from Centennial High School and Northwest Career and Technical Academy.

The Meadows School won out of 132 teams from across southern Nevada. 

LAS VEGAS -- Rezoning is now a reality for 17 schools in the Clark County School District.

It is a short-term solution to overcrowding, but it has people concerned about what will happen down the road, if the city continues to grow.

It was a carefree day for kids at Givens Elementary School, but not for parents who still have Wednesday night's worries on their mind.

"It is just frustration that our school is going to have so many kids at it," parent Kelli Mendenhall said.

The CCSD school board approved a rezoning plan for 17 schools which means students at several schools, especially in the northwest, will either move to a new school or welcome hundreds of new students.

That is the case at Givens Elementary in Summerlin where Mendenhell's son and daughter attend.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A 40-year-old former chef is headed to trial on allegations that he stabbed his Philippine wife to death with knives and a cleaver in their Las Vegas kitchen.

Richard Magdayo Dahan waived a preliminary hearing Thursday of evidence in the Jan. 10 slaying of 28-year-old Daisy Casalta Dahan, and a local judge bound the case over to state court.

Dahan is expected to plead not guilty at his arraignment March 12 in Clark County District Court.

Prosecutors say Dahan could face the death penalty.

Dahan told police he couldn't accept that his wife wanted a divorce just two years after they married in the Philippines.

Daisy Dahan's friends and co-workers at a Las Vegas nursing facility say they feared she was in a dangerously abusive marriage before she was killed.
