CROSS COUNTY, Ark. — After police were dispatched to a home in Parkin where two gunshot victims were found, a multi-agency police chase ended with the suspect being killed after a gunfire exchange, according to authorities.
Parkin police officers arrived at the home on the evening of April 3 and found Shoron Selvy, 47, and another victim injured after being shot. Selvy died after being transferred to a nearby hospital.
Witnesses identified 20-year-old Darius Kirkwood as a possible suspect after he was seen leaving the home before police arrived, Arkansas State Police said in a statement.
A short time later, a Wynne police officer spotted Kirkwood and attempted to stop him while he was on US Highway 64. Police said that Kirkwood was "driving at a high rate of speed and forcing other motorists from the highway" and then Cross County deputies joined in the chase.
The pursuit, according to state police, ended on a county road along US Highway 1 toward Forrest City, where Kirkwood "ignored commands from deputies and police to exit the vehicle" and authorities approaching his vehicle to remove him lead to "an exchange of gunfire."
Kirkwood died at the scene and Cross County Sheriff David West was shot, but his injuries were non-life-threatening, and he has been released from the hospital.
State police say authorities from both the Wynne Police Department and Cross County Sheriff's Office fired their weapons during the incident.
Arkansas State Police said it has requested to investigate the homicide and the shooting that killed Kirkwood.
"Case files involving both incidents will be turned over to the Cross County prosecuting attorney who will use the investigative report to determine whether the use of deadly force by law enforcement officers was consistent with Arkansas laws," ASP said.
We will update this article with more information as it becomes available.

WASHINGTON — Amid worries that the latest coronavirus variant could spark another rise in cases, Medicare announced Monday that millions of enrollees will finally have access to free over-the-counter COVID-19 tests at drug stores.
More than 59 million people with Medicare's “Part B” outpatient coverage will be able to get up to eight free at-home tests per month, or enough for an individual to test twice a week, as some doctors have recommended.
Medicare has lagged private insurance in following the Biden administration's directive to cover at-home tests because rules and regulations stood in the way, and officials had to find a work-around. This is the first time the health insurance program for older people and those with disabilities has covered an over-the-counter test at no cost to recipients.
Where can Medicare enrollees get a COVID test?
National pharmacy chains participating in Medicare's give-away include: Albertsons Companies, Inc., Costco Pharmacy, CVS, Food Lion, Giant Food, The Giant Company, Hannaford Pharmacies, H-E-B Pharmacy, Hy-Vee Pharmacy, Kroger Family of Pharmacies, Rite Aid Corp., Shop & Stop, Walgreens and Walmart.
If your pharmacy isn't on that list, Medicare's website recommends calling your pharmacy or provider to check if they're participating.
Looking for other ways to get tested? Americans can order at-home COVID tests at no cost through the federal government at COVIDtests.gov. Each household can currently order four tests. Since those tests may take a few weeks to arrive, they aren't a good option if you're currently sick or recently exposed. Instead, they should be ordered in advance and kept for when you might need them.
You can also get tested for COVID for free at more than 20,000 community-based testing sites nationwide.
Timely move?
COVID restrictions have been largely lifted, but some areas are seeing increasing cases tied to the BA.2 omicron variant.
The BA.2 omicron variant now accounts for more than half of U.S. cases, having rapidly overtaken the original strain. That initial omicron wave this winter caused the biggest spike yet in virus cases, straining many hospitals to the limit. Since then, cases nationally have rapidly dropped to the lowest level since before last summer's delta surge. Coronavirus restrictions have been largely lifted. But some areas where BA.2 took hold early are seeing increasing cases.
Monday's announcement followed another precautionary move last week, when government health officials authorized a second round of booster shots for people 50 and older as well as those with weakened immune systems.

Forward-Looking Statements:
This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about future business and operating results, the industry and markets in which the Company operates and beliefs of and assumptions made by the Company's management, involve uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial or operating results of the Company. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "will," "should," "may," "projects," "could," "would," "target," "estimates" or variations of such words and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature, but not all forward-looking statements include such identifying words. For example, management may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as any redemption of Notes.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. We can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. For example, these forward-looking statements could be affected by factors including, without limitation, risks associated with: (i) uncertainty relating to the impact of the integration of the businesses of the Company and IHS Markit Ltd. ("IHS Markit"), including potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the integration and increased cyber risks during the integration; (ii) the ability of the Company to successfully integrate IHS Markit's operations and retain and hire key personnel; (iii) the ability of the Company to implement its plans, forecasts and other expectations, including with respect to IHS Markit's business and to realize expected synergies; (iv) business disruption following the transaction with IHS Markit; (v) economic, financial, political and regulatory conditions, in the United States and elsewhere, and other factors that contribute to uncertainty and volatility, including the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, natural and man-made disasters, civil unrest, pandemics (e.g., COVID-19 and its variants (the "COVID-19 pandemic")), geopolitical uncertainty, and conditions that may result from legislative, regulatory, trade and policy changes associated with the current U.S. administration; (vi) the ability of the Company to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem due to a hurricane, flood, earthquake, terrorist attack, war, pandemic, security breach, cyber-attack, data breach, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event, including the ability to function remotely during long-term disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic; (vii) the impact of public health crises, such as pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and epidemics and any related company or governmental policies and actions to protect the health and safety of individuals or governmental policies or actions to maintain the functioning of national or global economies and markets, including any quarantine, "shelter in place," "stay at home," workforce reduction, social distancing, shut down or similar actions and policies; (viii) the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; (ix) changes in debt and equity markets, including credit quality and spreads; (x) demand for investment products that track indices and assessments, and trading volumes of certain exchange-traded derivatives; (xi) changes in financial markets, capital, credit and commodities markets and interest rates; (xii) the possibility that the integration of IHS Markit may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (xiii) the parties' ability to meet expectations regarding the accounting and tax treatments of the proposed transaction; and (xiv) those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company from time to time, including those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, this list should not be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Company disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements contained in this communication or to otherwise update any of the above-referenced factors.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — In moments of crisis, people often don’t know where to turn. A partnership between the state, Pulaski County and UAMS is providing help.
Since opening its doors in 2018, the Pulaski County Regional Crisis Stabilization Unit has treated about 2,000 people.
“We are really focused on the concept of recovery,” clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Evans said. “The second people hit the door, were thinking positive, helping them identify their short-term recovery goals.”
Evans is among the UAMS employees who staff the 16-bed facility.
“I've just always been really drawn to people who are sort of at their worst,” she said. “It's easy to help because there's so much to be done.”
The goal of the Crisis Stabilization Unit is is to help law enforcement divert people from the justice system when they're facing chemical dependency or a psychiatric crisis.
“We work really closely with police officers to have immediate access to care,” Evans said. “So if they're encountering somebody on the street, whether they're in any kind of trouble or not, an officer who's trained in crisis intervention can go and encounter that person, engage them, and quickly get them to us.”
The unit is an alternative to the emergency room or jail. Once admitted, patients not only get the immediate medication and intervention they may need, but staff also works to identify barriers to long-term recovery.
“Transportation, ID, insurance – those seem like simple things –but they're not,” Evans said.
The average stay is about three days, but they hope it's just the beginning of a person's recovery.
“We try to make sure everybody has a destination, whether that's an appointment with the local community health center, or go straight into residential rehab,” Evans said.
Though the work is hardly easy, Evans says it's absolutely worthwhile.
“It's just really, really rewarding to see people come here, and when they leave, they are better even though it's three days later,” she said.
The crisis stabilization unit is open 24/7 for anyone who is in crisis. It is located on West Roosevelt, near the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The University of Arkansas for Medical Science (UAMS) is working with the UAMS Family Medical Center in Fayetteville to provide soon-to-be parents with resources, group education and supplies.
The new program called CenteringPregnancy helps women with their regular prenatal health checkups and provides group learning and sharing options.
UAMS says the program can help moms build bonds with other mothers and helps them become more involved in their health care so they can better prepare for the birth of their child.
The program is available for pregnant UAMS Family Medical Center patients.
“The CenteringPregnancy program is a great way for moms to bond during pregnancy and develop a strong support system that will benefit them through birth and after,” said Krista Langston, Community Health and Research’s senior director of community programs. Pregnancy can be incredibly challenging, and we’re excited to help mothers navigate their care so they can have healthier pregnancies.”
Participants in the program are also given a Pack ‘n’ Play, a stroller, a diaper bag, a car seat and more.
CenteringPregnancy is available in English, Spanish and Marshallese. Click here to learn more about the program or to fill out an interest form.

WASHINGTON — Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken a 9% stake in Twitter to become its largest shareholder after raising questions about the social media platform’s dedication to free speech.
The ultimate aim of Musk's 73.5 million share purchase worth $2.9 billion, based on the closing price Friday, is not clear. Yet in recent weeks Musk, who has 80 million Twitter followers and posts there often, has questioned free speech on Twitter and whether the platform is undermining democracy.
The regulatory filing Monday describes Musk as a long-term investor looking to minimize his buying and selling of the shares.
He has also pondered starting a rival social media network, and industry analysts are skeptical about whether the mercurial CEO would remain on the sidelines for long.
“We would expect this passive stake as just the start of broader conversations with the Twitter board/management that could ultimately lead to an active stake and a potential more aggressive ownership role of Twitter," Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said in a client note early Monday.
Twitter's stock surged 20% before the opening bell Monday.
Musk told his more than 80 million followers on Twitter that he was “ giving serious thought " to creating his own social media platform and has clashed repeatedly with financial regulators about his use of Twitter.
His Twitter stock purchase comes as Musk is locked into a bitter dispute with U.S. securities regulators over his ability to post on Twitter. Musk’s lawyer has contended in court motions that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is infringing on the Tesla CEO’s First Amendment rights.
In October of 2018, Musk and Tesla agreed to pay $40 million in civil fines and for Musk to have his tweets approved by a corporate lawyer after he tweeted about having the money to take Tesla private at $420 per share.
The funding was far from secured and the electric vehicle company remains public, but Tesla’s stock price jumped. The settlement specified governance changes, including Musk’s ouster as board chairman, as well as pre-approval of his tweets. The SEC brought a securities fraud charge, alleging that Musk was manipulating the stock price with his posts.
Musk’s lawyer is now asking a U.S. District Court judge in Manhattan to throw out the settlement, contending that the SEC is harassing him and infringing on his First Amendment rights.
Early in March, Musk asked Judge Alison Nathan to nullify an SEC subpoena and throw out the settlement agreement. His lawyer, Alex Spiro, said the SEC has used the court agreement “to trample on Mr. Musk’s First Amendment rights and to impose prior restraints on his speech.”
The SEC responded in a court motion, saying it has legal authority to subpoena Tesla and Musk about his tweets, and that Musk’s move to throw out the settlement is not valid.
The SEC disclosed that it is investigating Musk’s Nov. 6, 2021 tweets that asked followers whether he should sell 10% of his Tesla stake. The commission confirmed that it issued administrative subpoenas while investigating whether Musk and Tesla are complying with disclosure controls in the 2018 agreement.
The commission also is investigating whether Tesla described accurately in public filings with the agency whether it complied with the controls.
The commission maintains that the subpoenas were lawful, and that Musk isn’t following proper legal procedure to challenge them. SEC attorney Melissa Armstrong called Musk’s challenge “frivolous,” and pointed out that Musk and Tesla agreed to have his tweets pre-approved by other company officials.
“Courts have long recognized that ‘congress has vested the SEC with broad authority to conduct investigations into possible violations of federal securities laws and to demand production of evidence relevant to such investigations,’” Armstrong wrote.
The subpoenas, issued under seal, come from a formal order by the commission authorizing the investigation. They seek all written communications concerning the Nov. 6 tweets and whether they were shown to Tesla lawyers for pre-approval.
Musk attorney Spiro has asked for verbal arguments in the case.
Musk's revelation about his stake in Twitter shares comes two days after Tesla Inc. posted first-quarter delivery numbers. While the company delivered 310,000 vehicles in the period, the figure was slightly below expectations.
Shortly after the November tweets about the Tesla stock sale Musk began selling off shares, and he wrote on Twitter that the sale would go to pay tax obligations on stock options. Analysts estimate his tax obligation at $10 billion to $15 billion. But some of the money could have been used to buy the Twitter stake.
So far he has sold more than 15 million shares worth roughly $16.4 billion. With some sales in late December, Musk is close to selling 10%.

The health of the U.S. labor market appears to be improving as most states have lifted COVID-19 restrictions.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday, April 1 that the nation’s monthly unemployment rate for March 2022 dropped to 3.6% and the number of unemployed people dropped by 318,000 to 6 million.
In a tweet, President Joe Biden claimed that "there have been only three months in the last 50 years where the unemployment rate in America was lower than it is now."
THE QUESTION
Has U.S. unemployment dipped below its current rate only three times in the last 50 years?
THE SOURCES
- U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
- Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization
- Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
- Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute
THE ANSWER
Yes, U.S. unemployment has dipped below its current rate only three times in the last 50 years.
WHAT WE FOUND
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the federal agency that tracks the nation’s unemployment rate on a monthly and annual basis. VERIFY compared monthly BLS data from 1972 to present.
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show that the unemployment rate has dipped below its current monthly rate of 3.6% only three times since 1972, as Biden claimed. It was 3.5% in September 2019, and then again in January and February 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
The unemployment rate doesn’t take into account all people who are not working, however. People who aren’t working and don’t meet the criteria to be counted as unemployed are considered “out of the labor force” and aren’t factored into the official unemployment rate, Stephanie Aaronson, vice president and director of economic studies for the Brookings Institute, explains. People who report wanting a job but have not looked for work in the most recent four weeks are among those considered “out of the labor force.”
A BLS measure called U-6 is different from the official unemployment rate. It counts those who are technically unemployed, people who are working part-time but would prefer full-time, and those who want a job but have not looked for work in the most recent four weeks.
The U-6 rate for March 2022 was 6.9 percent. That is about on par with the U-6 rate from before the pandemic – it hovered around 7% in January and February 2020. That’s compared to a U-6 rate of nearly 23% in April 2020, at the height of COVID-19 restrictions, when the official unemployment rate was 14.8%.
So what can we expect for the rest of 2022? Experts predict the unemployment rate will remain around as low as it is right now through this year. Economic forecasters surveyed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia expect the 2022 annual unemployment rate to be 3.7%, which the U.S. last saw in 2019.
Heidi Sheirholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute, explained in a Twitter thread that the U.S. economy is currently “on pace to recover nearly eight years faster” from the high unemployment rates created by the COVID-19 pandemic than it did from the Great Recession. This is in part due to Congress acting to provide COVID-19 relief, including the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan, Shierholz said.
“We would have millions fewer jobs today if Congress had not enacted the COVID relief and recovery measures it did,” she wrote.
A low unemployment rate isn’t always good news for the economy, though, experts say. It can sometimes be an indicator of another recession on the way.

NEW ORLEANS — After a long, long month of college basketball, we are finally at the end of the 2022 March Madness season as North Carolina takes on Kansas.
These are a couple of blue bloods, but their paths to the title game couldn't be anymore different.
North Carolina comes into the game as an 8-seed and they're looking to become just the second team seeded higher than three to win the title in the past 25 years (Connecticut, 7-seed, 2014).
Meanwhile, Kansas comes in as a one seed. They're coming off a dominating performance against Villanova, winning by 16 points in that game, while North Carolina is coming off a down-to-the-wire finish against Duke in what was a back-and-forth rollercoaster of a game.
Will UNC have the legs to run with Kansas on Monday night?
Isaac Schade of the Locked On Tar Heels podcast, your daily podcast covering all things North Carolina, joined Peter Bukowski on Monday's Locked On Today podcast to discuss UNC's win over Duke and how they match up against Kansas.

How to watch the national championship
Time: 9:20 p.m. E.T.
Television: TBS
Spread: Kansas -4, O/U 152
Keys to the game
Armando Bacot's health
We saw North Carolina big man Armando Bacot exit Saturday's game against Duke with about five minutes to play, but he did re-enter the game.
X-rays are negative and Bacot will play, but Schade said we'll need to keep a close eye on his mobility. He won't have an easy task defensively, taking on Kansas' David McCormick, who put up 25 points in their Final Four win over Villanova.
“One of the three biggest things I’m watching are Armando Bacot’s health, he went down with a twisted ankle. Coach Davis told us x-rays were negative, the training staff is glad with where his swelling is at and Bacot himself told us there’s no way I’m not playing in this game, you’d have to saw my leg off," Schade said. "So we need to watch his mobility and see how he’s doing.”
Leaky Black vs. Ochai Agbaji
This will be the defense vs. offense matchup of the game as Carolina's top perimeter defender Leaky Black will have a tough test against Kansas' Ochai Agbaji, who put up 21 points on Saturday, going 6-for-7 from three.
“Number two biggest thing I'll be watching, Leaky Black. Carolina’s defensive stopper. Can he do another job on Ochai Agbaji, the way he’s done on Duke’s AJ Griffin. Black wouldn’t tell us explicitly who he’d be guarding, but he said in jest, we could all guess."
X-Factors
X-factor's in this game include North Carolina's Brady Manek and Kansas' Christian Braun.
Manek has been North Carolina's leading scorer this season. He's made at least three three-pointers in every game so far in the NCAA Tournament. Carolina will rely on him again to make clutch shots to keep up with Kansas' sharp shooters.
Meanwhile, Kansas' Christian Braun has been quietly very solid in the tournament. With Leaky Black guarding Agbaji, Braun will need to step up and knock down big shots to give the Jayhawks an edge.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — On Monday, Jaylin Williams announced that he will enter the NBA Draft, but will not hire an agent. That means the Arkansas sophomore can return to the team next season if he chooses.
“I am announcing my intention to enter the 2022 NBA Draft process. However, I will not be hiring an agent to keep my eligibility with the University of Arkansas intact. I look forward to learning from the upcoming process, going through the interviews, gathering feedback and building relationships with NBA coaches and front office personnel.
Williams was named to the SEC All Defensive team as well as first team All-SEC this season. The Fort Smith native averaged 10.9 points and 9.8 rebounds, while averaging a double-double in SEC play. Williams also led the country with 54 charges taken
“My gratitude to Coach Musselman and the staff goes beyond words for helping me be in this position. I will keep all my options open and, after going through the process and talking with my family, my support group and the Arkansas coaching staff, I will make an informed decision when the appropriate time comes.”
Williams becomes the second Razorback to enter the NBA Draft alongside JD Notae. Notae did hire an agent, ending his career at Arkansas.

The name of the new company will be announced at a later date.
The terms of the agreement are not being disclosed at this time. The new company will be jointly owned by Synopsys and Juniper, with Synopsys as the majority owner. The new company's results will be consolidated into Synopsys financials. While Synopsys expects the investment to be slightly dilutive to fiscal 2022 earnings, the investment is not material and will not affect Synopsys' fiscal second quarter and full year 2022 guidance ranges provided on February 16, 2022. There is no change to Juniper's full year financial outlook as a result of this transaction.
The new company is being formed, in part, from the carve-out of integrated silicon photonics assets from Juniper, which includes more than 200 patents on photonic device design and process integration. While part of Juniper, the new company has closely collaborated with Tower Semiconductor to develop and qualify Tower Semiconductor's PH18DA process technology to enable the industry's first "laser-on-a-chip" open silicon photonics platform. To demonstrate capabilities of this platform and accelerate customer adoption of the technology, the new company has created 400G and 800G photonics reference designs with integrated lasers and expects first samples to be available in summer 2022.
"Silicon photonics is a rapidly growing market that is transforming many industries and creating exciting opportunities for new applications in the future," said Sassine Ghazi, president and chief operating officer at Synopsys. "The new company's open silicon photonics platform, combined with Synopsys' existing investment in a unified electronic photonic design automation solution consisting of OptoCompiler™, OptSim™, PrimeSim™, Photonic Device Compiler and IC Validator™ products, will help reshape the optical computing industry, enabling companies to cost-effectively shift to integrated lasers and significantly accelerate development of photonic IC designs."
"This revolutionary technology will change the economics of how people are going to build photonic systems," said Rami Rahim, CEO of Juniper Networks. "We have been strong supporters of integrated silicon photonics and we believe the new company will drive development of these systems by using an advanced open platform that will dramatically reduce costs and increase the performance and reliability of designs across multiple use cases. We are excited to continue to collaborate with the new company to enable a broad ecosystem to efficiently develop next-generation optical transceiver and co-packaged designs."
A key challenge for silicon photonics has been the cost of adding discrete lasers, which includes the manufacturing as well as the assembly and alignment of those lasers onto the photonic chip. This becomes more important as the number of laser channels and the overall bandwidth increases. By processing the Indium Phosphide (InP) materials directly onto the silicon photonics wafer, the PH18DA platform reduces the cost and time of adding lasers, enabling volume scalability and improved power efficiency. In addition, monolithically integrated lasers on silicon wafers improves overall reliability and simplifies packaging. This "Laser-on-a-Chip" open silicon photonics platform will bring integrated photonics to a host of new applications and markets that were previously not thought possible. The first Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) is scheduled to be taped out in Q2 2022.
"We have had a long history of successful collaboration with Juniper Networks on integrated photonics. The new company formed by Synopsys and Juniper will strengthen and accelerate the adoption of the silicon photonics platform," said Russell Ellwanger, CEO of Tower Semiconductor. "Providing an open silicon photonics platform consisting of integrated lasers that has been qualified on Tower's process will enable customers to create innovative products with the potential to transform the industry."

PHILADELPHIA , April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Berger Montague is investigating securities fraud allegations on behalf of investors who purchased the securities of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson ("Ericsson" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ERIC) between April 27, 2017, and February 25, 2022 (the "Class Period").
If you purchased Ericsson securities during the Class Period, would like to discuss Berger Montague's investigation, or have questions concerning your rights or interests, please contact attorneys Andrew Abramowitz at aabramowitz@bm.net or (215) 875-3015, or Michael Dell'Angelo at mdellangelo@bm.net or (215) 875-3080 or visit: https://investigations.bergermontague.com/telefonaktiebolaget-lm-ericsson/
Whistleblowers: Anyone with non-public information regarding Ericsson is encouraged to confidentially assist Berger Montague's investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under this program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to thirty percent (30%) of recoveries obtained by the SEC. For more information, contact us.
The Lawsuit: According to a recently filed lawsuit, Ericsson and members of its senior management deceived investors about the Company's business in Iraq and its compliance with a December 2019 deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ concerning alleged Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations.
Investors began to learn the truth through a series of disclosures beginning on February 15, 2022, when Ericsson revealed that unusual expenses in Iraq dating back to 2018 had triggered an internal review. The following day, February 16, 2022, Ericsson's CEO reportedly told a Swedish news outlet that payments dating back to 2018 may have been made to purchase transportation routes through areas controlled by ISIS.
Finally, on February 27, 2022, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists published an expose, based on a 79-page leaked Ericsson internal investigation report, which revealed that: (1) Ericsson sought permission from ISIS to work in an ISIS-controlled city and paid to smuggle equipment into ISIS areas; (2) Ericsson "made tens of millions of dollars in suspicious payments over nearly a decade to sustain its business in Iraq"; and, (3) there was within Ericsson "a pattern of bribery and corruption so widespread, and company oversight so weak, that millions of dollars in payments couldn't be accounted for." These revelations caused the price of Ericsson securities, including American Depositary Shares, to experience significant declines in value.

- Results from Study 0170 show a benefit in study patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA)
- Company beginning discussions with potential strategic partners and planning health authority interactions to expedite ampreloxetine as a possible treatment option for patients with symptomatic nOH
- Company remains focused on respiratory therapeutics, value creation for shareholders and reiterates plan to be sustainably cash-flow positive by the second half of the year
DUBLIN, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TBPH) today announced results from the second Phase 3 study, Study 0170 (n=128 out of n=154 planned), assessing the durability of clinical effect of ampreloxetine compared to placebo for the treatment of symptomatic nOH. Study 0170 was a 22-week Phase 3 study comprised of a 16-week open-label period followed by a 6-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period. The primary endpoint of treatment failure at week 6 of the randomized withdrawal period was defined as a worsening of both Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Scale (OHSA) question #1 and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) scores by 1.0 point.
The primary endpoint was not statistically significant for the overall population of patients which included patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), pure autonomic failure (PAF) and MSA (odds ratio=0.6; p-value=0.196). The odds ratio suggests that patients receiving ampreloxetine had a 40% reduction in the odds of treatment failure compared to placebo.
The pre-specified subgroup analysis by disease type suggests the benefit seen in patients receiving ampreloxetine was largely driven by MSA patients (n=40). An odds ratio of 0.28 (95% CI: 0.05, 1.22) was observed in MSA patients indicating a 72% reduction in the odds of treatment failure with ampreloxetine compared to placebo. The benefit to MSA patients was observed in multiple endpoints including OHSA composite, Orthostatic Hypotension Daily Activities Scale (OHDAS) composite, Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ) composite and OHSA #1 (see figure below). Notably, patients withdrawn to placebo had a clinically relevant decrease in standing blood pressure; there was no decrease for patients remaining on ampreloxetine. While the same benefit was not apparent in patients with PD or PAF, the Company continues to analyze the data to better understand this observation. Throughout the study, there was no indication of worsening of supine hypertension based on 24-hour monitoring. Data suggest that ampreloxetine was well-tolerated and no new safety signals were identified.
"MSA is a devastating and debilitating disease with no effective disease modifying treatment. There is an urgency to treat MSA patients suffering with nOH due to the impact on quality of life and the extreme caregiver burden. Ampreloxetine appears to improve a narrow, but critically important group of symptoms related to blood pressure control, and along with the safety profile, may represent a potential therapy for MSA patients," said Roy Freeman, MBChB, Professor of Neurology, Director, Center for Autonomic and Peripheral Nerve Disorders, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, who assisted in the design and interpretation of the study.
"At Theravance Biopharma, we are guided by patient outcomes. Given the clear unmet need for MSA patients suffering from symptomatic nOH, we are engaging potential partners and planning health authority interactions to determine a path forward in hopes of expediting ampreloxetine as a possible treatment option for people with MSA," said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer, Theravance Biopharma. "Concurrently, we are executing against our business plan and remain disciplined in capital allocation, maximizing shareholder value and re-iterate our goal to be sustainably cash-flow positive by the second half of this year."
Disclosure: Dr. Freeman is a consultant serving as an advisor for drug development and clinical trial design for Theravance Biopharma.
Study 0170 (REDWOOD) Ampreloxetine Phase 3 Results
About the Phase 3 Study
Study 0170 (NCT03829657) was a 22-week Phase 3 study comprised of a 16-week open-label period and a 6-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period. The primary endpoint of treatment failure at week 6 was defined as a worsening of both Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Scale (OHSA) question #1 and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) scores by 1.0 point. After Study 0169 did not meet its primary endpoint, the Company took actions to close out the ongoing clinical program including Study 0170. The study was more than 80% enrolled (n=128/154 planned) despite stopping early.
About Symptomatic nOH
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a rare disorder defined as a sustained orthostatic fall in systolic blood pressure (SBP) of ≥ 20 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of ≥ 10 mm Hg within three minutes of standing. Severely affected patients are unable to stand for more than a few seconds because of their decrease in blood pressure, leading to cerebral hypoperfusion and syncope. A debilitating condition, nOH results in a range of symptoms including dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, fatigue, blurry vision, weakness, trouble concentrating, and head and neck pain. nOH is caused by autonomic nervous system malfunction and is associated with several underlying medical conditions including multiple system atrophy (MSA), pure autonomic failure (PAF), and Parkinson's disease (PD).
About Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)
MSA (formerly Shy-Drager syndrome) is a rare, rapidly progressive, severely debilitating, and fatal neurodegenerative disease that leads to death within a median of seven to 10 years after the onset of symptoms. MSA shares many Parkinson's disease-like symptoms, such as slow movement, rigid muscles and poor balance. The primary sign of multiple system atrophy is postural (orthostatic) hypotension. A person with MSA can also develop dangerously high blood pressure levels while lying down (supine hypertension). Other manifestations include: urinary and bowel dysfunction, constipation, incontinence, sweating abnormalities, sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular problems and psychiatric problems. The most common causes of death in MSA are infection and cardiopulmonary complications. Currently, MSA patients receive only symptomatic and palliative therapies as there are no disease-modifying treatments and no cure.
About Ampreloxetine
Ampreloxetine (TD-9855) is an investigational, Theravance Biopharma-discovered, potent, long-acting, oral, once-daily norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) with patent protection until 2037 in the US. In addition to the Phase 3 clinical program, Theravance Biopharma has conducted a comprehensive non-clinical and clinical pharmacology program. Ampreloxetine has been evaluated in over 800 patients in clinical studies of fibromyalgia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and symptomatic nOH.

- Social media consumption: Social media is part of Gen Z daily life and is increasingly driving their economic activity. 8 out of 10 said they use social media on multiple occasions throughout the day. 7 out of 10 said they have purchased products they discovered on social media, such as Facebook and Tik Tok.
- Paying the bill: Cash is on the decline, but still relevant. Mobile wallets are gaining ground: in 5 out of 13 surveyed countries, it is the most popular payment method.
- Shopping habits: Zoomers are a generation of shoppers, shopping accounting for the single biggest share of their spending – ahead of entertainment, events, and eating out.
LONDON and SINGAPORE, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To achieve growth and success past 2030, businesses must start to understand the living, shopping, and financial habits of Gen Z or Zoomers (consumers aged between 16 and 24) now - and accept that they are very different from previous generations. This demographic, who never knew life without the internet and smartphones, currently represents the largest population group on earth, accounting for almost 2.5 billion people, surpassing Millennials in 2019.
That's why Thunes, the global payments platform, conducted a global study of Zoomers to get insight into their shopping, social, and payment preferences. Thunes interviewed 6,500 people between the ages of 16 and 24 from 13 developed and emerging countries.
Thunes CEO Peter De Caluwe said: "To many, Gen Z is a misunderstood and overlooked generation. This is a generation to which "dial-up" and "desktop" are meaningless words and who don't just think "mobile-first", but live and breathe in apps, social media, digital platforms and soon - the metaverse. We should start to take this generation seriously as the revenues and strategic plans of many businesses - especially those that are relying on fast growth - are dependent on them".
"We knew that social media would be a key part of a Zoomer's daily life, but what our survey helped to reveal is the extent to which they are driving spending activity in this demographic. Another important aspect of their lives that we wanted to explore is their relationships with money and their affection for mobile-driven payment methods. As a company that embraces the diversity of Payments and builds the next-generation Payments infrastructure for the world, we will use these insights to shape our Payment capabilities and solutions for the large group of the Internet businesses that we serve," he added.
Mobile wallets are gaining traction, particularly in emerging markets where bank accounts have been historically difficult to access and financial exclusion is widespread. Mobile providers have led a digital payments revolution in Asia, while in Africa, the major telecoms providers have offered similar digital payments solutions.
- Social Media: Gen Z is influenced by social media more than any other generation. Three-quarters of Zoomers also check in multiple times each day in emerging markets, with two-thirds stating that they have purchased products they first discovered online. Not only is social media where Gen Z spend their money but increasingly where they are making it too, with a growing range of content monetisation options offered by TikTok, YouTube, Patreon, Clubhouse, and Twitch.
- Mobile Wallets and Money Management: Gen Z has little enthusiasm for traditional financial products - be it bank accounts or credit cards. 62% of Gen Z's don't have any bank account at all. Mobile wallets are however growing rapidly and in some emerging markets, almost 50% of Zoomers now use this type of account.
- Shopping: Zoomers spend a slightly larger proportion (19%) of their money online shopping than they do on socialising, eating out, and entertainment.
- Cash Is Down, But Not Out: About a quarter of Zoomers in western markets almost never use cash. Physical currency remains important in offline spend in emerging markets, but its influence is in decline.
- Focus on Brand and UX: One of the most important drivers for Zoomers considering purchase and payment methods is brand trust - it became the #1 factor for choosing a primary payment method in 7 countries.
As the world moves online, social media, content and entertainment platforms, payment providers, and consumer brands looking to capitalise on Zoomers and their online spending habits must consider all the factors above. Gen Z will be influenced first, not by price or even range or scarcity, but by their social circles, brand engagement online, and trendy, convenient, trustworthy payment options.
Peter De Caluwe said: "Failure to recognise the imminent influence of the digitally native Zoomer could result in a once perfectly shoppable brand witnessing slipping sales."

NEW YORK, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Tattooed Chef, Inc. f/k/a Forum Merger II Corporation (NASDAQ: TTCF, FMCI) resulting from allegations that Tattooed Chef may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Tattooed Chef securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4906 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On August 12, 2021, Tattooed Chef issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter of 2021. Among other results, the Company disclosed revenue of $50.7 million, missing consensus estimates by $3.35 million.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

MANILA, Philippines and SAN FRANCISCO, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Velo Labs, a leading blockchain infrastructure company, and iRemit, the largest Filipino-owned, non-bank remittance service provider, have partnered to provide individuals and businesses access to improved cross-border payments using blockchain technology and Velo Digital Credits.
An estimated 34 billion USD in remittances arrive into the Philippines each year and are currently subject to high fees, costly delays, and a complex web of intermediaries – all of which destroy economic value and hurt individuals reliant on cross-border payments. Velo Labs, alongside iRemit, will provide the technology and the settlement network to ensure these cross-border payments can be sent and received cheaper, faster and more securely than current, legacy financial systems allow.
Notably, by integrating with the Velo network, iRemit can now work directly with its trusted partners to settle transactions almost instantly, without the need for intermediary agents. The efficiency delivered by combining Velo Labs' blockchain payment infrastructure with iRemit's robust, domestic settlement network will empower iRemit's users – including overseas Filipinos, migrant workers, and local businesses and individuals – to retain more of their hard-earned money.
"Our partnership with iRemit is a direct reflection of Velo Labs' core mission: to build a global, decentralized, and interoperable settlement network that provides fast, reliable, secure cross-border payments," said Mike Kennedy, CEO of Velo Labs. "As we grow our global settlement network, we're excited to partner with institutions like iRemit, who share our vision of empowering those who rely so heavily on cross-border payments."
The Velo Labs settlement network is powered by the Velo Protocol. This financial protocol is the process of issuing digital credits, pegged to a local fiat currency, to transact value between trusted parties. All digital credits are backed by the Velo Labs utility token, the Velo Token; always maintaining a 1:1 value between the digital credits and the underlying fiat currency. This enables Velo Labs to provide an efficient way of transacting value using digital credits without the risk of volatility that is a concern with other digital asset protocols.
About iRemit
iRemit is the largest Filipino-owned, non-bank remittance service provider, having serviced the cross-border payment needs of overseas Filipinos for over 2 decades. Customers are key to the iRemit mission and the company continues to develop best business and technological practices to ensure they provide secure, reliable and low cost money transfer services so that the individuals that rely on these services can continue to prosper and grow the local economy.
About Velo Labs
Velo Labs uses blockchain technology to develop a global settlement network that empowers financial institutions to provide secure, near-instant cross-border payments at low cost for individual and business customers. Velo Labs is working to improve access to efficient financial services by developing key technologies that allow for the seamless transfer of value across-borders.

HARTFORD, Conn., April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtus Total Return Fund Inc. (NYSE: ZTR) previously announced the following monthly distribution on March 3, 2022:
Under the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid in part or in full from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder's capital. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Managed Distribution Plan.
The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'.
The Fund provided this estimate of the sources of the distributions:

The actual amounts and sources of the distributions for tax purposes will depend on the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund or your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you what distributions to report for federal income tax purposes.

NEW YORK , April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB) resulting from allegations that Zai Lab may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Zai Lab securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=4899 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On March 9, 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") published a notification identifying Zai Lab, among other companies, as in potential violation of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which allows the SEC to delist companies and ban a company's shares from being traded if the company fails to allow U.S. regulators to review their company audits for three straight years. Zai Lab and the other companies named in the SEC notification have until March 29, 2022 to challenge the charges against them.
On this news, Zai Lab's stock price fell $6.74 per share, or 18%, to close at $30.02 per share on March 10, 2022.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Robbie Allene Gardner Harbor passed away peacefully at her home late Sunday evening on April 3, 2022, following a lengthy illness, and is now in the presence of her Heavenly Father. She was 90 years old. Born November 29, 1931, Robbie was the daughter of the late Edward Clarence Gardner and Idella Estes Gardner. She was one of nine children, growing up in the Ozark community of Itawamba County. Robbie was a loving, devoted wife to Tracy Reldon Harbor, and together they made their home in the Centerville Community until his death on October 11, 2006. While raising a family, she also worked her entire adult life at Mantachie Manufacturing Company before retiring in the mid 90's. She was one of the oldest surviving members of Centerville Baptist Church where she attended faithfully until her health declined. Robbie enjoyed a blessed and simple life -- watching TV, cooking and tending to her garden, but her greatest treasures were her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nothing brought her more joy and happiness than having her family together for her amazing Sunday dinners. She was a kind and gentle soul who lived a life of faith and humility. She leaves behind a legacy of love to all who knew her. A celebration of her life will be held at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 6, 2022, at the McNeece- Morris Funeral Home Chapel in Mantachie, MS with Bro. Greg Jones officiating, assisted by Bro. Bill Adams. Burial will follow in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Itawamba County. Visitation will be held from noon until service time on Wednesday at the funeral home. The family wishes to express thanks to the NMMC Home Hospice Team and Visiting Angels for the compassionate and loving care they provided to our Mother. Special appreciation and love is extended to caregivers Cecilia Melson and Shirley Weatherford who cared for our Mother as their own. Robbie is survived by her loving family: sons Phillip Harbor and Kacey Harbor (Tracy), daughters Judy McMullan (George) and Pam Evans (Robert); grandsons Mackenzie Harbor (Taylor) and Ryan Evans; granddaughters Carrie Martin (Kevin), Leann Cato (Jason) and Dicy Sheffield (Blake); sister Peggy Scruggs; sisters-in-law Sue Sharp, Betty Bramlett and Nancy Ingram (Ben); six great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, her precious granddaughters Traci Nicole Harbor and Maggie Katherine McMullan; sisters Mattie Ruth Tabler, Avonell Bishop, Jean Sheffield and Joan Sheffield, brothers Edward "Buck" Gardner, Charlie Gardner and Ellis Gardner; and in-laws Woody and Hattie Nichols Harbor. Pallbearers will be her grandsons: Mackenzie Harbor and Ryan Evans; grandsons-in-law Kevin Martin and Jason Cato; and great-grandsons Jake and Eli Martin and Bryant Cato; and nephews Larry and Jerry Bishop. Online condolences and a guest book can be accessed at www.mcneecemorrisfuneralhome.com.

Wayne Allen Whipple, 69, passed away Thursday evening, March 31, 2022, at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on July 6, 1952 to Alma Virgil and Mary Lorraine Whipple. He was raised in Sandy and Granger, Utah, where he graduated from Granger High School in 1970. While in school, he was a member of the swim team and won several regional and state awards. Wayne was a journeyman electrician and earned two Associate degrees, in Business and Electronic Technology. He retired from NESCO in Tupelo after 30 years of electrical sales. Wayne married his eternal sweetheart, Carolyn Duncan, on March 29, 1974 in the Salt Lake, Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Together, they enjoyed many happy years raising their family, traveling, serving in the church, and spending time together. They recently celebrated 48 years of marriage and look forward to being together forever. Wayne was a faithful, lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He held many leadership positions, including Bishop of the Booneville and Tupelo Wards, and various other ward and stake callings. He served as a missionary in the Gulf States Mission from 1971 until 1973. Together with his wife, he served for over seven years in the Memphis, Tennessee Temple and a one-year Family History Mission for the church. He was an avid Scouter, earned the rank of Eagle, and served in various leadership capacities in the Boy Scouts of America for over 25 years. He was pleased that all of his sons also earned the rank of Eagle and that all five of his children were married in the Temple. Wayne was a stalwart disciple of Jesus Christ, always accepting opportunities to provide service to others, and is remembered by many for being an exceptional teacher. In his life, family was first, and he was always concerned about each member of the family and what he could do for them. He was known for encouraging his children to "make good choices" and to keep "making memories." Playing guitar, woodworking, and taking family vacations were some of his favorite things to do. Wayne and Carolyn especially enjoyed their 40th anniversary trip to Hawaii. He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Duncan Whipple of Tupelo; one daughter and four sons, Holly Lorraine Babcock (Jonathan) of Kennesaw, Georgia; Joshua Nathan Whipple (Ambur) of Rancho Mission Viejo, California; Patrick Dale Whipple (Brigette) of Madison, Mississippi; Nicholas Shawn Whipple (Kristy) of Farmington, Utah; and Adam Craig Whipple (Jessi) of Buena Vista, Virginia; grandchildren Anna, Will, Mary, and Jake Babcock; Marie, Capri, Joaquin, Allie, Aubry, Duncan, Preston, Collin, Ellie, Faye, Wes, Max, and Jade Whipple; his sister Maureen Burbidge (Lynn), brother Dale Whipple (Miriam), and sister Jeanette Crotchett, all of Utah; sister-in-law, Karen Whipple Miller of Arizona; sister- and brother-in-law, Rhonda and Sammy Allred of Corinth; and a host of nieces and nephews.

COLUMBUS • A Mississippi city is considering license plate scanning cameras in an effort to crack down on uninsured drivers.
Columbus city leaders recently heard from representatives of Atlanta-based Securix Systems about the proposal, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
Attorney Robert Wilkinson, who represents Securix, said the system captures tag numbers and compares them to a national insurance database.
Mississippi leads the nation in the number of uninsured motorists — around 30 percent, Wilkinson said. He said Ocean Springs is among Mississippi cities now using the program.
Automated License Plate Readers operated by various entities are used every day to scan plates as drivers pass by a camera, Wilkinson said.
"If you drive on I-10, when you cross into Alabama a photo is taken of your tag," he said. "It's done by Homeland Security, it's done by (the Drug Enforcement Administration.)"
In Ocean Springs, Securix has put up six cameras so far, with seven or eight more planned. As a car passes one of them, it takes a picture of the tag and compares it to a database of every driver in Mississippi who has insurance, the newspaper reported.
The cameras can also be set up to recognize state emergency alerts, including Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts and law enforcement Be On the Look Outs, Wilkinson said.
"If there was a child kidnapped and they put an Amber Alert out, if that vehicle passes that camera your dispatcher will get an alert within five seconds," he said.
Pearl and Senatobia plan to have cameras running soon in their cities, said Josh Gregory, a consultant with Frontier Strategies, which is helping to market Securix's services.
Council members say they plan to continue considering the idea and look over the proposed contract.

INDIANAPOLIS — State lawmakers took aim at electronic monitoring this session by setting up standards for monitoring across Indiana. Author Sen. Kyle Walker explained that Senate Enrolled Act 9’s proposal came as a response to numerous violent crimes allegedly committed by people wearing electronic monitors at the time of the crime.
One of those people is Marcus Garvin. Court documents explain Garvin was wearing a GPS monitor after being released in connection to a prior stabbing when he allegedly killed his ex-girlfriend, Christie Holt.
Holt’s violent death played a role in the passage of two laws: one that regulates charitable bail and this law which will create standards for electronic monitoring. Regarding charitable bail, Garvin was bailed out of jail by the Bail Project after a judge lowered his bail from $30,000 surety to $1,500 cash for a Dec. 2020 case.
Garvin was charged with Christie’s murder in August 2021.
“I wish she lived long enough to see these bills pass,” Steven Chase, Christie Holt’s Brother, said. “It makes me incredibly proud of her.”
Walker said he hopes SEA9 will make the judges pause longer before releasing people on electronic monitors.
“On one end, they’re probably not a flight risk and they’ll show up for their trial, so they probably just need to be released on bond or on their own recognizance,” Walker said. “On the other end of the spectrum, when you talk about some of these really violent offenders, I think that in many cases, just need to be in jail or in prison.”
Under the new law, Walker said if a person facing or convicted of violent charges absconds, police are to request a warrant then send out a message to all available units within 15 minutes and dispatch an officer within an hour. If it is a person facing or convicted of a nonviolent crime, Walker said police will receive a message within an hour and be dispatched within 48 hours.
“I think it strikes the right balance between being practical in terms of what police can do but also again have a very strict standard so that offenders are apprehended as soon as possible if they do escape,” Walker said.
Walker said the law builds backup verification between the monitoring agency and the employers of those wearing the devices. Walker said he hopes this helps in places where the devices are likely to lose signal.
“So that in those cases where they know the offender is working and going to the same place every day, and maybe it’s a large factory type setting and there are connectivity issues, that they can then instead of immediately triggering the requirements of escape, they can use the backup verification method to talk to the employer to ensure that that individual is there,” Walker said. “Then ask them to call in and verify. It lets them continue working, it’s better for the offender, it’s better for the employer. It’s overall better for the system.”
This portion of the bill came after discussions with RecycleForce which employs many people wearing these monitoring devices. Like Walker, RecycleForce President Gregg Keesling hopes this new law looks at who is wearing the devices.
“The answer is, to reduce the number of those who are monitored and monitor those that are high risk and not try to put ankle bracelets on thousands,” Keesling said.
Victims’ families like Christie’s hope laws like these make decision-makers in the system pay more attention.
“I really do hope we have this pushed onto the judges where they are second looking everything and thinking and re-evaluating because what if it was their daughter that was brutally murdered,” Katie Davidson, Christie’s Friend, said.
Beginning January 1, 2023, Walker said SEA9 also requires monitoring agencies to submit a quarterly report to the local justice reinvestment advisory council. The information included shall address the total number of tracked individuals under supervision, whether they are under pretrial or post-conviction supervision, the charges they are facing or the ones they’ve been convicted of.
The report must also address the number of people supervised by each employee, the cost and fees of the devices imposed and collected, the number of people under supervision whose supervision has been terminated and the reason, and the number of false location alerts or device malfunctions from each person being supervised.
“I just hope that this means there’s no more Christies,” Felicia Myers, Christie’s cousin, said about the laws overall. “Because it’s been such an earth-shattering thing.”

INDIANAPOLIS – As the Russian invasion rages on across Ukraine, Governor Eric Holcomb visited Slovakia this week to see the humanitarian crisis firsthand. Meanwhile, former Indiana Governor Mike Pence laid out his new “Freedom Agenda” for the Republican party.
Peace talks continued over the weekend between Russia and Ukraine. However, the two sides have made little progress towards a ceasefire since the invasion began. The U.S. is sending another $550 million to war-torn Ukraine, on top of the more than $13 billion dollars coming from The White House. It all comes in the form of humanitarian and military aid.
With billions of dollars on the way, Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Spartz wants to make sure it all gets to Ukraine quickly and smoothly. She wants for more oversight from Congress to keep track of the relief aid. Rep. Spartz is now calling for a “Congressional meeting” to make sure all of the money is delivered in a timely manner.
Meanwhile, more than 4 million refugees have fled Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion. Governor Eric Holcomb is saying Indiana’s response could be similar to last year, following the American military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Indiana welcomed thousands of evacuees through Camp Atterbury. Gov. Holcomb visited Slovakia to get a glimpse of the refugee situation there. In an exclusive interview with Statehouse Reporter Kristen Eskow, he’s sounding the alarm over the growing crisis.
“All the bordering states around Ukraine are quite frankly overwhelmed,” Gov. Holcomb said.
Gov. Holcomb says the trip’s purpose is to find out how Indiana can help as the invasion intensifies. The governor’s team delivered art supplies and athletic gear to 300 children in one refugee camp. He thinks Indiana can step up for Ukrainian children through education and recreation.
“Mental health, healthcare, how to find a job, just exactly what we went through helping Afghan evacuees,” Gov. Holcomb said.
In a recent op-ed sent to newspapers, the governor stated he’s open to providing temporary or permanent housing to process Ukrainian refugees. His response also includes new sanctions against Russia, including divesting $147 million in state government investments with ties to the country.
“We’ve tried to cover all of our basis in terms of government contracts, state contracts,” Gov. Holcomb said. “We’ll leave no stoned unturned. We don’t want to perpetrate Putin’s war machine or supply it with resources.
Gov. Holcomb went further against Russia, calling for the U.S. to designate the country a state-sponsor of terrorism. He says that the country has reached a point of no return.
“The longer [Putin] remains in power, the more misery and pain I think the Russian people as well feel,” Gov. Holcomb said.
At the same time, a previous Indiana Governor is making headlines and rumors towards a future presidential run. Former Governor Mike Pence recently announced the “Freedom Agenda,” a platform for the Republican Party ahead of the 2022 midterms. It contains traditional conservative goals, like increasing energy production and cutting back regulations. It also addresses critical race theory, gun rights, and transgender athletes. Those were all high-profile issues addressed by state lawmakers this past session.
Watch more of Gov. Holcomb’s exclusive interview in the video above.
Plus, Gov. Holcomb visited Israel during his overseas trip to discuss economic interests. You can see more from that in the video below.

FORT WORTH, Texas (KVEO) — Police in Fort Worth, Texas arrested a man who was driving over 150 mph when he collided with another vehicle, killing a teenager and injuring two others in March.
Fort Worth officers arrested Bryce Abernathy, 22, on two counts of aggravated assault and one count of manslaughter, according to a police press release.
At 11 p.m. on March 15, a white Camaro was traveling on westbound Interstate 20 when it collided with a silver SUV. One was killed in the collision and two others were injured.
The airbag control module showed that the Camaro was driving 157 mph, the release stated.
According to a report by NBC affiliate NBCDFW, the victim was identified as 19-year-old Shaundi Smallwood.
Smallwood had gone to a Six Flags amusement park with friends earlier in the night and was hanging out with them before the crash, his mother told the local TV station.

Just when it seems like we escape the rain, the gray & wet weather catches back up to us. We caught a nice break Monday afternoon after morning showers however. The sun came out for a few hours and this also helped temperatures pop back into the 60s. We’ll need to take advantage of these brief periods of sun when we get the chance with more gray weather ahead this week.
Tuesday we wake up to a day in the mid 40s, but clouds will be in the sky across Central & Southern Indiana. Rain will enter into the southern part of the state after daybreak and continue through Central Indiana during the afternoon. Northern Indiana may remain mostly dry, but clouds will eventually spread through the area too. Temps will reach the mid to upper 50s depending on how steady afternoon rain is. The first pitch of the Indianapolis Indians season is scheduled for 7:05pm, and luckily the rain should be over by then. It will be in the 50s during the game, but we should enjoy a night of baseball with slow, but steady drying.
It will not take long for rain to move back in however as a front rolls through on Wednesday. Showers and a few storms will impact the state through the morning. Severe weather is not a concern this time, but localized flooding is possible. Clouds will clear in the afternoon, but a northwest wind will keep temperatures in the upper 50s or low 60s, even with a mild start. More gray weather lies ahead as we close out the work week.

INDIANAPOLIS – We’re less than a month away from Indiana’s May primaries. It’s a crowded Republican field for the 9th congressional district, and IN Focus is your local election headquarters to find out more from the candidates.
Several of the nine Republicans have sat down with IN Focus to share their thoughts on the issues facing Capitol Hill. They’re all looking to replace outgoing Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN-9), who is not seeking re-election.
Republican candidate Erin Houchin says she resigned from her position in the State Senate to focus entirely on the campaign. She was previously defeated by Rep. Hollingswoth in the 2016 Republican primary. Using that experience, Houchin says she can be a productive voice for the constituents of the 9th district. She promised to push back on what she views as radical ideas from congressional Democrats.
I think now more than ever, we need a conservative fighter pushing back against the administration and the policies of the far left,” Houchin said. “It’s what I hear when I travel the district. People care about border security, they care about inflation, they care about supporting our police.”
We also spoke with former congressman Mike Sodrel (R), who’s running for the seat he once held. Sodrel is looking to use his experience to separate himself from the massive list of Republicans. As the country becomes more divided, Sodrel says his style of decision-making can help work past partisan differences.
“The people that serve there are representatives of the districts that sent them,” Sodrel said. “We are divided as a people, so it’s very difficult… to come together when the people are this divided. But we can work at it, we need to.”
Candidate Stu Barnes-Israel (R) is also giving his thoughts and hoping his previous combat experience will connect with voters. He says that despite his lack of formal political experience, he will deliver “real solutions” for Hoosier families in the 9th district.
“I think the Republican party needs to be accepting of multiple points of view,” Barnes-Israel said. “We need to bring more people into our party. We’re seeing that now because of the failed policies of Joe Biden’s administration.”
Also running for the first time is candidate Jim Baker (R). He believes his career in business can help with bridging the divides in Congress.
“I’ve been a dealmaker for over 40 years, bringing opposing parties together,” Baker said. “Candidates with more experience in public office are at a disadvantage. I’m at an advantage because I’m not a politician.”

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Another Dreamville Festival is in the books and The Greater Raleigh Tourism Department is looking to make the party in Dix Park an annual event. Talks are in the works for a third festival.
"Their hope is to make this more than just a concert, but to integrate opportunities to speak to songwriters and people that put together videos," said Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO Dennis Edwards.
The star-studded event is also serving as an inspiration.
"We always think, "could we do Brewgaloo at Dix, could we make it over there?" said Shop Local Raleigh Executive Director Jennifer Martin.
Shop Local Raleigh would have to move the beer festival out of downtown Raleigh for more space at Dix.
"It was super eye-opening. The level of infrastructure that they had, the professional way they built, it's inspiring for all of us local to try and see how can we do something maybe not to that scale, but maybe halfway to that scale," said Martin.
Some people feel like they were able to attend Dreamville for free.
A resident of Renaissance Park, located two miles away from Dix Park, could hear music.
"You could hear thumping," said Raleigh resident Kenny Ray.
"I was surprised, also had a little FOMO," said Raleigh resident Paige Powell.
People said they love the idea of Dix Park becoming a concert destination and looking to the City of Raleigh to make an investment.
"I'm hoping that maybe they get a permanent stage over there and have musical events often," said Ray.

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- All eyes are on Capitol Hill following judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court. That includes Hillside High School student body president and drama student Omari Scott.
"Oh God, her journey does impress me. She's exactly a little bit what I want to resemble joining clubs and them building character," Scott said.
Brown Jackson is the daughter of public school educators who taught her that if she worked hard, she could be anything she wanted. She's also credited her high school debate team for shaping her. Scott can relate.
"Joining student council helped with my public speaking. I was very shy coming into Hillside but you know I'm the senior now and I'm not afraid to speak up and say my opinion on certain things," he said.
Middle College teacher and debate coach Joseph Parrish says debate teaches students invaluable skills.
"As an introduction to debate, I show my students a video clip of many famous people who have said that debate is what calls them to become who they are. For example, Oprah Winfrey," said Parrish.
He is not surprised that Brown Jackson is a former debate student and believes it is one of the most important programs a school can offer. Scott has watched many students through the years compete and come out of their shell as a result.
"Impromptu means you could be called upon at a moment's notice. I told my students there will be many times in your life you'll have to do that," said Parrish. "I know that the students that I work with and judge at these tournaments are certainly the future senators and future Supreme Court justices"

KNIGHTDALE, N.C. (WTVD) -- A family carnival in Knightdale was cut short on Saturday after shots rang out.
"All these people are going and screaming and crying. I see one of my boys and I grabbed him from out of that like screaming running mosh pit," Danyelle Maddox remembered.
Maddox was at the event with her family. She said they were in line for food when the shooting happened.
"We're trying to scatter and run and I'm trying to find my husband, trying to find our boys," she said. "It was just, it was really scary."
Videos captured by Jared Dixon caught sounds of the shooting and show people frantically running.
"Everybody just scattered. I mean like everyone had that delayed reaction but everybody just scattered and just ran," Dixon remembered.
Justin Staonkford was also in attendance and was playing a carnival game with his girlfriend when shots sent them to the ground.
"We were trying to win a goldfish and then I just heard I heard shots and we saw people running. It's terrifying. We were laying down and we just waited for the cops to arrive," Stanokford recalled. "I've never been in a situation like that. So we just got down and waited for safety."
The carnival in the Midtown Commons Shopping Center was hosted by the police as a fundraiser for the Special Olympics. The shooting on Saturday caused the town to cancel the event for its final day on Sunday and issue refunds. Those in attendance Saturday night can still vividly remember the scary scene.
"It's a scary one because it's like those shots they started so far but yet so close like it could have been me it could have been my equipment could have been anybody," Dixon said.
Knightdale police said the shooting happened around 9 p.m. after a large fight broke out by the concession stands. Officers were breaking up the fight when shots were fired at a parking lot nearby.
At least two cars were hit and a 16-year-old boy was treated for minor injuries at WakeMed.
"It was very chaotic. Like, the heart sank. I was like, Is this real? You know? You hear about it online and on the news and stuff and then when you see it in real life it's a lot different," said high school student Gary Williams.
The police are still investigating the case and have not made any arrests yet. Knightdale Police Chief Lawrence Capps said the department is offering a reward to anyone who can give strong credible information about potential suspects.
"Words cannot begin to describe the anger we feel over this senseless act of violence," Capps said in a statement during the weekend. "Our annual Special Olympics Carnival should be a time of fun and celebration for a worthy cause. Instead, a small group of deviants choose to endanger the lives of hundreds of people with their malicious actions. It reeks of lawlessness and a blatant disregard for others' lives. It is a miracle no one was killed or seriously injured."
Maddox said they are thankful their family and everyone else is safe but her 4-year-old nephew is still shaken up.
"Everybody's doing good, but the 4-year-old, you know, he keeps talking about how scary it was and how his uncle Robbie was gonna die," Maddox said.
She said the police and carnival workers did a good job of responding after the incident. Her family was also able to get money back for the tickets they purchased. She said they are trying to keep the shooting in perspective but may be more careful with the events they attend going forward.
"We do want to stay with the safer ones like the State Fair because they do have the metal detectors and things like that, so they check everybody at the gate. But you know, I do think it's like a one-time incident. I don't think it'll happen in everyone that you go to," Maddox said.
The Town of Knightdale said Saturday's incident shouldn't detract from the town's history of hosting a safe atmosphere at its Spring Carnival for the past 15 years.
"At every event, public safety is paramount. We do our best to mitigate potential threats, but the guarantee of absolute safety often includes and depends on others adhering to a sense of social duty and responsibility. We send kudos to the officers on scene who rushed to the area, ready to confront the armed assailant. We also send gracious thanks to the men and women in blue who ushered people to safety and worked to clear the scene," a spokesperson for the town wrote in a statement.
Additionally, the town said it will continue to ensure public safety at town-sponsored events in the coming months.

Three indicted in connection with fatal Brockton shooting that killed 51-year-old man
BROCKTON — Three people have been indicted in connection with a February fatal shooting that claimed the life of a 51-year-old city man, prosecutors said.
A Plymouth County grand jury returned indictments on Monday charging Kevin Gomes, 26, of Brockton, on one count each of murder, carrying a firearm without a license, carrying a loaded firearm and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
The grand jury additionally charged two others — Ryan Harris, 29, was indicted on one count each of accessory after the fact of murder and witness intimidation by misleading police, and Jenna Deane, 34, was also indicted on one count of witness intimidation by misleading police.
More:Brockton man shot neighbor in head after complimenting his gold chain, prosecutors say
More:Man fatally shot overnight in Brockton, the city's 1st homicide of the year
The indictments stem from a Feb. 5, 2022, incident in Brockton.
Police responded about 2:41 a.m. that morning to the area of 21 Auna Drive for a report of a person shot. Officers found a male victim, later identified as Harry Williams, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken by ambulance to Good Samaritan Medical Center, where he died.
Prosecutors said police interviewed numerous witnesses and secured physical evidence and video surveillance. As a result of that investigation, prosecutors said a warrant was obtained for Gomes' arrest and he was taken into custody in Worcester on Feb. 8.
At Gomes' arraignment in February, a prosecutor said Gomes had moved into the Auna Drive condo building about two weeks before the murder. At some point, Gomes had complimented Williams on a gold chain he wore, prosecutors said. Gomes, Williams and a third resident of the building had been visiting in the hallway for several hours, the prosecutor said.
About 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5, Williams' daughter heard a series of "pops." She found him with a gunshot wound to the head, the prosecutor said, from which he soon died.
The prosecutor said investigators found a wallet outside the condo building. The wallet was not covered in snow, indicating it had not been there long. That wallet, the prosecutor said, contained an ID of Kevin Jordan Gomes.
After the shooting, Gomes allegedly fled to a home on nearby Ash Street, where he showed up about 3 a.m. According to the prosecutor, Gomes confided in someone at that location that he had shot someone in the head. Investigators said they found the murder weapon.
"Today’s indictment returns also allege that Harris misled police and aided Gomes in fleeing," the Plymouth County district attorney's office said in a written statement. "Deane was indicted on charges that she misled police during the investigation."
All three people indicted will be arraigned at a later date in Brockton Superior Court.

Colorado governor signs law to protect abortion rights
DENVER (AP) — Colorado joined a handful of other states Monday in codifying the right to abortion in statute, a party-line response to efforts across the country to limit abortion access in anticipation of a pending U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a challenge to the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that banned states from outlawing abortion.
Gov. Jared Polis signed into law the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which passed the Democratic-led Legislature after dozens of hours of testimony by residents and fierce opposition by minority Republicans. The law guarantees access to reproductive care before and after pregnancy and bans local governments from imposing their own restrictions.
It also declares that fertilized eggs, embryos and fetuses have no independent rights. That’s a response to failed ballot initiatives that sought to restrict abortion by giving embryos the rights of born humans. In 2014, voters rejected a proposal to add unborn human beings to the state’s criminal code, allowing prosecutors to charge anyone who kills a fetus with a crime.
“Colorado has been, is and will be a pro-choice state,” Polis said, calling increasing abortion restrictions elsewhere “an enormous government overreach, an enormous government infringement” of individual rights. “No matter what the Supreme Court does in the future, people in Colorado will be able to choose when and if they have children.”
Colorado was the first state to decriminalize abortion in most cases in 1967, and it allows access to abortion but had nothing in state law guaranteeing it. New Jersey, Oregon and Vermont had previously codified the right to abortion throughout pregnancy, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.
Republicans would still be able to introduce legislation and ballot measures to reverse the new law. For that reason, abortion rights groups are weighing a 2024 constitutional ballot measure, much like Nevada did in 1990.
Colorado Democrats cited the high court’s consideration of a Mississippi case that could overrule Roe v. Wade, as well as a new Texas law banning abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. If Roe is overturned fully, at least 26 states are likely to either ban abortion outright or severely limit access, the Guttmacher Institute says.
“We don’t want to ever see what’s happening in Texas to happen in Colorado,” said House Majority Leader Rep. Daneya Esgar, a sponsor of the Colorado legislation.
Idaho has enacted a law modeled after the Texas statute. Missouri lawmakers have introduced a bill to make it illegal for the state’s residents to get abortions in other states. Arizona’s legislature has approved a ban on abortion after 15 weeks and, like other states, has a law that would automatically ban abortion if Roe is overturned.
In California, Democratic leaders are considering more than a dozen bills this year to prepare for a Roe reversal. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law last month to make abortions cheaper for people on private insurance plans. Washington state enacted a law banning legal action against people who aid or receive an abortion, responding to the Texas law’s provision allowing people to sue abortion providers or those who assist them.

NYC mayor to Floridians: Come here where you can say gay
Published: Apr. 4, 2022 at 7:31 PM EDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
New York City is launching a digital billboard campaign to lure Floridians unhappy with their state's "Don't Say Gay” law to the Big Apple.
Mayor Eric Adams said Monday that the billboards supporting LGBTQ visibility will be displayed in five major markets in Florida.
The announcement came one week after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
Adams called the Florida law "a targeted attack on the LGBTQ+ population."
A message seeking comment was sent to a spokesperson for DeSantis.

GATES, Ore. —
Almost two years after destructive wildfires changed lives forever in the Santiam Canyon, survivors are in various stages of rebuilding. Many people have worked not only to move themselves forward but help others along the way.
One of those people is Gates resident Cindy Chauran. She was just named one of USA Today’s Women of the Year for 2022. Chauran is the Oregon Honoree.
KGW first spoke with Chauran and her family in September of 2020. They had just found out their home in Gates had burned down. Now, a little over a year and a half later, her family is in the middle of rebuilding
“That's what we really wanted, was nice and open,” said Chauran as she showed KGW around her new home.
Chauran and her family have come a long way since Labor Day weekend of 2020, when wildfires tore through the Santiam Canyon.
“It was never anything we ever thought we would have to go through,” Chauran said.
It's taken a lot of work to get to where they are now. She said her husband Bryan is doing pretty much all of the rebuild on his own and like many other families, they’ve had to overcome some challenges.
“Building prices were so expensive. Cleanup took a long time like so many other people and we had to have our plans, I think, drawn up twice and re-engineered,” said Chauran. She said plans had to be redone because they’d realize it would cost too much.
Now their new home is in the homestretch. Chauran hopes it will be done by July.
To top it off, Chauran is now one of USA Today's Women of the Year. The women who were awarded the honor are being recognized for their resilience, strength and drive to help their communities.
“It's pretty amazing to be even thought to even be in that group. I was kind of in shock of it,” Chauran said.
The story begins in the days and weeks after the fire when Chauran began receiving donations from family and friends. Rather than use them for her own needs, she donated the money to the Santiam Canyon Wildfire Relief Fund. She and her friend Deana Freres created the nonprofit quickly to help wildfire survivors in the Santiam Canyon. So far, it has raised nearly $4 million.
“I just had an idea. I had an idea of what I wanted to happen,” said Chauran.
While Chauran is humbled by the award, she doesn't feel it's hers alone. She said the community in the canyon is close, like family.
“I think everybody kind of felt like it was their award too because we were all in this together […] It never felt like it was just me. I felt like it was us,” Chauran said.
“I think everybody had a little hand and they knew it.”
Chauran said she’s grateful for the Santiam Service Integration Team, which works closely with the Santiam Canyon Wildfire Relief Fund. The Service Integration Team works with wildfire survivors who need help and has case managers available to assist them.
“They’re the ones that make it happen,” said Chauran. “They don’t get enough credit. Deana works full time on this, just because they love this community.”

President Biden promises to keep truckers moving through driver shortage
The president held an event at the White House Monday to promote the Department of Transportation’s Trucking Action Plan.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - The White House calls trucking “a lynchpin” in moving goods through our supply chain. But, they say a driver shortage is causing disruptions.
The American Trucking Association says truckers move 72% of America’s goods, but an increase in trucking costs during the pandemic has led to a trucker shortage. Now, President Biden said he’s taking action to expand the industry.
“We adapt and adjust to just about any and everything that we do,” said Teddy Butler, a professional truck driver from Hampton, Georgia.
Butler said during the pandemic, drivers had to accommodate more door-to-door deliveries due to people staying at home. As a result of the change, the Federal Reserve said there was a more than 20% increase in trucking costs, which in turn led to a trucker shortage.
President Joe Biden said truckers keep America moving, and he wants more back on the road.
“2021 was the best year for trucking employment since 1994. There are now 35,000 more trucking jobs than there were before the pandemic.” The president said.
To try and remedy the shortage and other industry changes, the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Labor launched a Trucking Action Plan in December. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said that America needs at least 80,000 more truckers to ease supply chain issues and to deal with the shortage.
“When you have that kind of gap it can lead to upward pressure on prices,” Buttigieg said. “Part of how we’re fighting inflation is making sure we support the trucking workforce, close that gap, and get goods moving smoothly, swiftly, and affordably.”
The trucking plan has four parts, including reducing the amount of time it takes to get a commercial driver’s license and for companies to launch apprenticeship programs, and connecting veterans to trucking careers.

Rutgers report cites ‘dual pandemic’ for nurses of color in New Jersey
A survey of hundreds of nurses at hospitals across the Garden State suggests that nurses of color were enduring a dual pandemic at least through much of 2020 — the disproportionate threat of COVID-19, along with age-old racism in the workplace.
A Rutgers School of Nursing study, published in Behavioral Medicine, found that nurses' emotional distress was elevated in part by COVID concerns — the virus was impacting individuals of color, and healthcare workers of color, at higher rates compared to white individuals — along with workplace racism experiences, which were perhaps amplified by the May 2020 killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.
"The psychological effects of nurses' workplace COVID exposure and worry will likely last far into the future," said Charlotte Thomas-Hawkins, study lead and an associate dean in the nursing school. "And the persistence of workplace racism will continue to inflict individual-level psychological harm among nurses of color unless it is effectively ameliorated."
In the study of nearly 800 nurses working in acute care hospitals, nonwhite nurses reported significantly higher levels of emotional distress and overall worry about COVID-19, researchers say. Nonwhite nurses also perceived more negative racial climates, with Black nurses reporting the most negativity. In addition, nurses of color experienced more racial microaggression experiences, such as casual insults and slights, according to the survey conducted in November 2020.
"Public health crises come and go. Racism was here before COVID and it's going to be here after COVID," said Thomas-Hawkins, who's had her own share of negative experiences working as a Black nurse.
Thomas-Hawkins said the study's results should be a message for leadership at hospitals and other workplaces.
"It's time for leadership to acknowledge that racism is a problem that needs to be addressed," she said, noting that nurses of color make up just 28% of the nursing workforce.
Diverse representation in leadership roles would help the matter, Thomas-Hawkins suggested. Leaders also want to make sure there are no seemingly racist practices related to hiring and promotions.
"And there needs to be self-awareness training," she said. "So that individuals can recognize their biases."

PORTLAND, Ore. — A woman was shot and killed around 1 a.m. Monday near the corner of Southwest 6th and College at Portland State University. The victim is one of more than 22 people to lose their life to gun violence in Portland since the start of the year.
"When we lose a life or shots have been fired or any violence occurs that impacts these neighborhoods I feel morally and ethically responsible for those items," Mike Myers said.
Myers oversees the Portland Community Safety Division. He said despite the more than 400 shootings in the first few months of 2022, the city is doing a lot to end gun violence, outlined in the safety division's first annual report.
Myers pointed to millions of dollars awarded to community-based organizations operating in neighborhoods impacted by the gunfire. Myers is also proud of the expansion of the park ranger program and the official launching of the Portland Police Bureau's Enhanced Community Safety Team and Focused Intervention Team.
"It is not one thing and will never be one thing that will take the lead in reducing violence in a neighborhood," Myers said.
Myers said many things help reduce violence. He said community safety plans, similar to those implemented in the Mount Scott neighborhood, are making a difference. Park lighting has been repaired and improved and 18 traffic-calming barrels were installed to address gun violence and related speeding.
"A comprehensive community safety plan rolled out in a community can work," Myers said. "It can reduce gun violence significantly."
However, it will not bring back the approximately two-dozen people who have been gunned down in Portland this year alone. The latest victim is a woman who was shot and killed near the Portland State University campus. The unidentified woman is the latest victim of an epidemic that cannot and will not be fixed overnight.
"It's going to take time to get [gun violence] down," Myers said. "There's not one thing you can do to go in there and overnight reduce gun violence."

State of Georgia reaches settlement with widow of man shot, killed by state trooper
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC/Gray News) - A law firm is claiming it reached a $4.8 million settlement with the state of Georgia for the widow of a Black man who was shot and killed by a state trooper. It could be the largest settlement in Georgia history.
In 2020, Georgia State Patrol trooper Jacob Gordon Thompson shot and killed 60-year-old Julian Lewis in Screven County after a police chase, WTOC reported. Thompson was fired from the GSP after the shooting. In 2021, a grand jury returned a no bill in the case, meaning they did not recommend charges for the defendant.
According to the Hall & Lampros law firm, while the settlement doesn’t bring Lewis back, it sends a powerful message to the state, law enforcement and other positions of power that unnecessary use of force against innocent citizens is unlawful, morally corrupt and carries legal consequences.
Attorney Andrew Lampros is part of the legal team for Lewis’ widow. He says the $4.8 million settlement reflects the magnitude of the shooting.
“Mr. Lewis’ case is getting attention now because of the size of the settlement, when it should have received attention because of what happened to him,” he said. “The facts of the case are egregious. He should have never been pulled over, much less shot.”
Lampros says he and the Lewis family are aware that federal prosecutors are looking at the matter and could possibly bring a federal case similar to the Ahmaud Arbery case in Brunswick, Georgia. He says he and family members have also been in touch with prosecutors in Screven County and they are waiting to see what happens next with the state case.
Prosecutors can take a case like this back in front of a new grand jury only once more and there’s no time limit for when they have to do it. District Attorney Daphne Totten said last year that her office would go back over this case to determine how they proceed.
Below are statements from attorney Francys Johnson and Lewis’ son, Brook Bacon:
“This settlement is further proof that Georgia recognizes the wrongs committed against my father, Julian Lewis. My father deserved to survive his encounter with Ex-Georgia State Patrol Jacob Gordon Thompson on Aug. 7, 2020. This is another step toward accountability but we will not rest until his killer is behind bars,” said Brook Bacon, Julian Lewis’ son.
“The State’s case still sits with District Attorney Daphne Totten of the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit. The notion that something terribly wrong didn’t happen out on that dusty dirt road by the hand of Ex-Trooper Jacob Gordon Thompson is simply unbelievable. Citizens should see the video evidence in this case and they will have a clear understanding of why the State of Georgia paid 4.8 Million Dollars to resolve the civil case,” said Francys Johnson, a Statesboro-based partner with Davis Bozeman Johnson Law and lawyer for Julian Lewis’s son Brook Bacon.

NEW ORLEANS — After a long, long month of college basketball, we are finally at the end of the 2022 March Madness season as North Carolina takes on Kansas.
These are a couple of blue bloods, but their paths to the title game couldn't be anymore different.
North Carolina comes into the game as an 8-seed and they're looking to become just the second team seeded higher than three to win the title in the past 25 years (Connecticut, 7-seed, 2014).
Meanwhile, Kansas comes in as a one seed. They're coming off a dominating performance against Villanova, winning by 16 points in that game, while North Carolina is coming off a down-to-the-wire finish against Duke in what was a back-and-forth rollercoaster of a game.
Will UNC have the legs to run with Kansas on Monday night?
Isaac Schade of the Locked On Tar Heels podcast, your daily podcast covering all things North Carolina, joined Peter Bukowski on Monday's Locked On Today podcast to discuss UNC's win over Duke and how they match up against Kansas.

How to watch the national championship
Time: 9:20 p.m. E.T.
Television: TBS
Spread: Kansas -4, O/U 152
Keys to the game
Armando Bacot's health
We saw North Carolina big man Armando Bacot exit Saturday's game against Duke with about five minutes to play, but he did re-enter the game.
X-rays are negative and Bacot will play, but Schade said we'll need to keep a close eye on his mobility. He won't have an easy task defensively, taking on Kansas' David McCormick, who put up 25 points in their Final Four win over Villanova.
“One of the three biggest things I’m watching are Armando Bacot’s health, he went down with a twisted ankle. Coach Davis told us x-rays were negative, the training staff is glad with where his swelling is at and Bacot himself told us there’s no way I’m not playing in this game, you’d have to saw my leg off," Schade said. "So we need to watch his mobility and see how he’s doing.”
Leaky Black vs. Ochai Agbaji
This will be the defense vs. offense matchup of the game as Carolina's top perimeter defender Leaky Black will have a tough test against Kansas' Ochai Agbaji, who put up 21 points on Saturday, going 6-for-7 from three.
“Number two biggest thing I'll be watching, Leaky Black. Carolina’s defensive stopper. Can he do another job on Ochai Agbaji, the way he’s done on Duke’s AJ Griffin. Black wouldn’t tell us explicitly who he’d be guarding, but he said in jest, we could all guess."
X-Factors
X-factor's in this game include North Carolina's Brady Manek and Kansas' Christian Braun.
Manek has been North Carolina's leading scorer this season. He's made at least three three-pointers in every game so far in the NCAA Tournament. Carolina will rely on him again to make clutch shots to keep up with Kansas' sharp shooters.
Meanwhile, Kansas' Christian Braun has been quietly very solid in the tournament. With Leaky Black guarding Agbaji, Braun will need to step up and knock down big shots to give the Jayhawks an edge.

INDIANAPOLIS — Some state lawmakers are hoping to see Indiana expand passenger rail options, even though a bill with that focus failed at the Statehouse.
Senate Bill 13 would have created a commission to study the potential expansion of passenger rail in Indiana. It passed in the Senate but did not get a hearing in the House roads and transportation committee.
Rail advocates are disappointed the bill did not move forward.
“There is a great deal of interest in Indiana in developing different sorts of modern passenger rail systems,” Steven Coxhead, president of the Indiana Passenger Rail Alliance, said.
State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) had been working to move the proposal forward for several years. This was the furthest the bill had ever gone.
“It just doesn’t seem right that we don’t have one passenger rail train coming to Fort Wayne,” Kruse said.
The bill was especially timely this year, Kruse added, given the new federal infrastructure law that allows states to apply for grants to maintain or expand regional passenger rail service.
Kruse said he plans to meet with state officials to discuss Indiana’s options going forward.
“We’ll try to come up with some new alternative that maybe we haven’t thought of at this point in time,” he said.
But, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Hoosier State isn’t on track for the new federal grants.
Indiana’s budget doesn’t set aside any funding for intercity passenger rail, which the state would need to contribute to those projects, explained Scott Manning, INDOT deputy chief of staff.
“In virtually every case, INDOT and the state would need to have funding available to provide a match or a portion of a match to pursue one of these grants,” Manning said.
However, Manning pointed out that Amtrak could choose to spend some of its new funding in Indiana. Last year, Amtrak unveiled a proposal to run more trains from Chicago to both Cincinnati and Louisville, with several stops in Central Indiana.
“There’s opportunity for them to pursue funding for other routes across the country in partnership with states or a partnership of states,” Manning said.
Kruse is not running for reelection but said he has spoken with other lawmakers who are interested in reintroducing similar legislation in the future.
We’ve reached out to Amtrak for this story as well as State Rep. Jim Pressel (R-Rolling Prairie), who declined to give the Statehouse proposal a committee hearing in the House. We’re still waiting to hear back from both of them.

Cleveland County Commissioners made a demand for greater transparency to the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority in a resolution Monday afternoon.
The OTA announced in February it would expand the state's toll road system in a $5 billion, 15-year plan that includes two new proposed toll roads in Norman.
A new toll road would connect Moore, Norman and Oklahoma City along Indian Hills Road, and a second in east Norman would extend the Kickapoo Turnpike south to Purcell.
The Norman City Council passed a resolution to disavow the plan in March, and now the commission is demanding more information.
The resolution petitions the OTA to “conduct a more extensive and comprehensive due diligence phase before finalizing the alignment of the OTA south extension turnpike,” it reads.
Dave Moore called it “another step in the right direction.” Moore fought against the 1999 proposed Outer Loop, and has come forward with a concerted grassroots effort to stop it again.
“[The resolution] doesn't really have legal authority,” Moore said. “But it's a step in the right direction. Like we did back in the old days, as many legally recognized entities that you can get to sign up on the same side, the better.”
District 3 Commissioner Harold Haralson told The Transcript he hopes the OTA will listen.
“As a county commissioner, I am committed to protecting the rights of our citizens, including their property rights,” he said in a statement. “Today’s resolution takes a stand for transparency and accountability. I am hopeful that the OTA listens to the voices of citizens and elected officials as they move through their process.”
Commissioners echoed concerns from residents and the council regarding the threat to the city's primary drinking water supply, wildlife and impacts to private residences.
“There is understandable concern about the impact of any major project to the citizens of Cleveland County, including the impact to residential properties, wildlife, the watershed of Lake Thunderbird, unique geological formations and transportation,” the resolution reads.
Environmentalists and geologists have said the planned route is in the path of a rare geological formation found in Norman — rose rocks.
As reported by The Transcript, Whooping Cranes, a federally-protected waterfowl, was spotted at Lake Thunderbird in 2019 and confirmed by the state's wildlife conservation agency.
An environmental engineer contracted by the OTA said Tuesday it will perform studies on federal-controlled land as required by the federal law, including the Clean Water Act and National Environmental Policy Act.
In a prepared statement, the OTA said it “appreciates” the commissioners’ caution.
“[The] OTA appreciates that Cleveland Co. commissioners recognize the importance of impact studies prior to construction,” the statement reads. “OTA has just begun those studies to help define the routes for ACCESS Oklahoma projects. OTA is at the very beginning of this 15-year long-range program.
"For the next year or so, OTA will collect more detailed data in the field to make sure engineers have the information necessary to make an educated decision for the best placement of each ACCESS Oklahoma route.”
The statement also indicated the OTA used publicly available information from state and federal agencies to draft a route through Norman and Oklahoma Department of Transportation daily traffic data on Interstate 35.
The agency is reviewing existing information on “area water and wetlands, threatened and endangered species, and historic and archeological sites,” it says.
Because the route is one of the last projects on the OTA’s list, ample time will be given to those studies and public input, OTA spokesman James Polling said.

CONCORD — A trust account established to fund a future home for “River Dave” Lidstone was dissolved last week, giving the high-profile hermit unfettered control of more than $200,000 in donations, two trustees said Monday.
All three trustees signed to close the Merrimack County Savings Bank account on Thursday, the same day Lidstone skipped a court hearing, according to Boscawen resident Jodie Gedeon.
Gedeon, one of the trustees, had been at the forefront of efforts to free Lidstone from jail and help him rebuild his life. She said Lidstone picked up the check at the bank Monday morning.
The actions came after 10 days of pitched accusations and acrimony between Lidstone and the trustees, a conflict that spilled over into social media.
Trustees wanted to follow the terms of the trust and questioned Lidstone’s desire to access $30,000 to buy his son a pickup truck. Others said it was Lidstone’s money to spend as he wished.
“I’ve seen a different side of him that nobody else has seen,” Gedeon said about Lidstone after he called her names and swore at her. “I honestly don’t know (if he is in his right mind).”
Lidstone did not return a message left on his phone.
But Bob Albini, a Canterbury resident and neighbor of Lidstone, said Lidstone told him the pickup story was a ruse to find out who he can trust.
“These people showed up out of nowhere and decided they would take over,” Albini said. He said Lidstone remains physically strong and strong-minded.
Lidstone, who turned 82 Wednesday, received worldwide attention last summer when a judge jailed him for refusing to leave the homestead near the Merrimack River in Canterbury, where he had lived 27 years. The judge released him after his two-story cabin burned.
The attention led to an outpouring of support for Lidstone. By summer’s end he had a trust account in his name. The majority came from a $180,000 donation from Silicon Valley billionaire Alexander Karp, but thousands also poured in through donations on social media.
Meanwhile, documentarian Rod Webber, who has been interviewing Lidstone and gathering information, sent a reporter a video of Lidstone making wide-ranging claims.
He complains that Gedeon told him to stop talking about one of his pet causes — sludge spread on farm fields near the Merrimack River. He hinted that politicians were behind the fire that destroyed his cabin. And he said Michael Gill — a businessman/politician whose conspiracy theories led to a record $274 million libel judgment against him — got into trouble after taking up the sludge cause.
“The reason I’m so famous is I’ve been hollering about the sludge,” Lidstone said. “I have some convictions.”
Last week, a Merrimack County Superior Court judge faulted Lidstone for remaining on the land and not appearing in court for a civil contempt proceeding.
The judge set a $500-a-day fine for each day that Lidstone remains on the land, beginning April 11. The money will go to the owner of the woodlot, Leonard Giles of Vermont.
Were Lidstone’s money in trust, the judge would not have access to it, under trust law. With money now available to him, Lidstone will be responsible for any debts and judgments.
Gedeon said she does not know the trust’s exact final balance, but it was “shy of $250,000.”
Albini said he has no idea what Lidstone wants to use the money for and that he can use it however he sees fit. He said the situation came to a head because Lidstone wanted to open a checking account, but trustees refused.
“He’s grown weary of this whole situation,” Albini said. “You can’t blame him. It’s been one thing after another for the last year.”
According to Gedeon, Lidstone went to the bank on March 21 seeking the money. On March 31, trustees signed a request to close the account and disburse the funds. The check was ready the following day; Lidstone picked it up on Monday.
Linda Snow, a certified public accountant, was another trustee. She confirmed Gedeon’s version. On the day Lidstone visited the bank, all three trustees tried to speak to him about the trust over the telephone, Snow said.
“He swore at us and hung up,” she said.
Last year, Lidstone had selected all three as trustees because he trusted them, Snow said. He thought a trust would be a good idea because it would shield him from unscrupulous people, she said.
Gedeon said the trust called for the funds to be used for Lidstone’s well-being, including medical and dental care, a place to live, furnishings and items to make him comfortable for the remainder of his life.
She said trustees initially refused to release money for the truck.
“I was called every name in the book. He’s hateful,” Gedeon said.
Snow said trustees dissolved the trust after conferring with Karp, who said the money could be used for anything that Lidstone wanted.
Gedeon said she will always care for Lidstone and think of him as a friend, but he has to treat people with the kindness that the world showed him.
The remaining trustee would not be interviewed.
Over the weekend, indications were the Facebook page “Help local legend David Lidstone,” which has 4,500 members, would close, but it remained up Monday.
That is where many of the accusations have played out.

There’s a connection between a commonly prescribed drug for diabetes and a higher risk for birth defects if a father uses it within three months of conceiving a baby, a new study has found.
The drug metformin, one of the top treatments for type 2 diabetes, is linked to this heightened risk, according to researchers from Stanford University and Denmark. The drug helps control high blood sugar, according to WebMD.
Specifically, there’s as much as a 40% greater chance of babies being born with birth defects, including genital, digestive, urinary, heart, chromosomal and limb defects if a father uses it within the certain time frame, according to the work published March 29 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
A higher risk of developing genital birth defects was found only in baby boys, the study found.
While many health risk factors for women conceiving children are understood, there’s a “limited but growing understanding of how paternal factors can affect” a child’s health, a Stanford Medicine news release on the research said.
“Given that men contribute half the DNA to a child, it makes sense that there could be some effects that travel through paternal pathways as well,” Dr. Michael Eisenberg, Stanford urology professor and a senior author of the study, said in a statement.
“It wasn’t just taking metformin at any time in a man’s life; it really has to do with taking it in that window when the sperm that is going to become the child is being developed.”
The study was based on health-registry data from Denmark on more than 1 million births between 1997 and 2016.
“When I saw the paper … I thought: ‘Yup, this is gonna go viral,’” Dr. Germaine Buck Louis, a reproductive and perinatal epidemiologist at George Mason University, told Science about the work.
Metformin is often the “first medication prescribed for type 2 diabetes,” according to Mayo Clinic.
In the U.S., type 2 diabetes affects roughly 90-95% of people with diabetes, typically adults, while type 1 diabetes affects about 5% of those with the condition, typically first diagnosed in kids and teens, according to Johns Hopkins University.
More on the researchAn analysis of 1,116,779 birth records revealed 36,585 babies born in Denmark between 1997 and 2016, or 3.3%, had “1 or more major birth defects,” according to the study. Additionally, 51.4% of these babies were male.
The median ages of the mothers and fathers were 30 and 33, researchers noted. Babies born to women who had diabetes or hypertension weren’t included in the study, according to the news release.
Of this group, 1,451 babies born to fathers who used metformin within three months of conception were identified. It was found that 5.2% of these children had birth defects.
Offspring of fathers who filled a metformin prescription “during the 3 months before conception,” also known as the time when sperm develop, “were considered exposed,” according to the work.
“These rates mean that, in Denmark, where today approximately 120 babies per year are exposed through their fathers, metformin use may account for two additional babies born with birth defects every year,” the news release notes.
Of the 1,451 metformin-exposed babies, genital birth defects were more common and only seen in male offspring, but fewer boys were born overall, according to the research.
Researchers compared metformin-exposed babies with those who were insulin-exposed, with unexposed siblings and with babies whose fathers took metformin before or after sperm development. They didn’t find “elevated birth defect frequencies” in those groups unlike the children exposed to metformin during sperm development.
Ultimately, it’s not exactly clear why a father’s metformin use while sperm is maturing is linked to birth defects in offspring, the news release said. However, prior studies in mice “have shown that the drug can cause reproductive harm.”
Birth defects are responsible for roughly 20% of infant deaths in the U.S., according to Buck Louis, who wrote an editorial on the study.
“Given the prevalence of metformin use as first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes, corroboration of these findings is urgently needed.”
Buck Louis said the research calls for a “more conclusive study of the potential risks for paternal use of diabetes drugs to offspring.”
When asked whether men planning to become fathers should avoid metformin, Eisenberg said in a statement, “I think that it’s a single study, so it’s hard to change clinical practice based on that.”
“But for somebody considering fatherhood, this study emphasizes the importance of a father’s health on the health of a child.”
One study limitation included how “information on underlying disease status was limited,” according to the research.
The work received funding from the National Institutes of Health.
More on metforminMetformin was approved in 1995 as a type 2 diabetes treatment by the Food and Drug Administration.
“[Metformin] is widely used even by young men because of the obesity issue that we have. So that is potentially a huge source of exposure for the next generation,” Buck Louis told Science.
Also, “doctors have long prescribed (metformin) off-label — that is, to treat conditions outside its approved use” for diabetes, according to Harvard University.
The drug is known for cardiovascular benefits and has been prescribed for prediabetes, gestational diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome and antipsychotic medicine-induced weight gain, the university points out.
It’s also being investigated for its potential to decrease the risk breast, colon and prostate cancer for those living with type 2 diabetes, according to Harvard. Additionally, researchers are looking into whether it can lower dementia and stroke risks, as well as slow down aging and prolong life-expectancy.
“When we think about reproduction, we still mostly think about maternal factors, so this study brings further awareness that paternal factors can make a difference,” Eisenberg said in the news release.
“Don’t forget the father.”

In this photo illustration, free iHealth COVID-19 antigen rapid tests from the federal government sit on a U.S. Postal Service envelope after being delivered on Feb. 4 in San Anselmo, Calif.
BALTIMORE — Imagine being able to swab the inside of your mouth, place it in a device and quickly know whether you’re infected with COVID-19.
Johns Hopkins University researchers say they have developed a simple sensor that could quickly and accurately detect the virus that causes COVID-19 in saliva.
The sensor isn’t on the market yet, but soon could revolutionize testing, the researchers say. It could be stationed at the entrances of hospitals, airports and schools, and potentially be put into handheld and even wearable devices.
It also can detect other viruses.
In testing, the sensor was as accurate as PCR tests, the current gold standard in testing during the pandemic that requires lab processing. It also was as fast as rapid antigen tests, the at-home kits that have become prevalent but aren’t as good picking up cases.
“The technique is as simple as putting a drop of saliva on our device and getting a negative or a positive result,” said Ishan Barman, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Johns Hopkins and a senior author on a study published this week in Nano Letters.
The researchers said there is no sample preparation and it requires minimal operator expertise. They currently plan to use a swab test to acquire the saliva.
To process, the sensor uses machine learning and a combination of other technologies to detect viruses.
That includes a process called nanoimprint fabrication and a kind of spectroscopy to analyze the saliva sample, which is using laser light to look at amplified molecules.
The process can detect even traces of virus, said David Gracias, a Hopkins professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and another senior study author with Barman.
“Our platform goes beyond the current COVID-19 pandemic,” said Barman. “We can use this for broad testing against different viruses, for instance, to differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1, and even variants. This is a major issue that can’t be readily addressed by current rapid tests.”
Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures has applied for patents for the technology and plans to commercialize the sensor.

Barry Wingate, Bristol's police chief for 29 years and a Grafton County deputy sheriff for the last 15, died Sunday at his home.
Wingate, 76, had just been medically cleared to have the first of two cataract surgeries on April 11, said his wife, Jean, on Monday.
An avid golfer and tennis player, her husband was looking forward to not having to wear glasses when competing, Jean Wingate said, and on Sunday he was scheduled to work his last day at the Sheriff’s Office before taking a leave of absence.
Wingate, who in 2008 had a quintuple bypass, got up at 5 a.m. Sunday to get ready for his shift, but when he failed to come out of the bathroom, Jean Wingate went in and found him unresponsive.
It is believed Wingate died from a cardiac event.
“He was on so many meds but he just didn’t want to quit," said Jean Wingate. “He thought he was 40. He was a go-getter. They’d call him at two o’clock in the morning and he’d go. He seldom said no.”
A couple since 1987, the Wingates married in 1999, creating a blended family by each bringing children from previous relationships.
“Barry was always there. He was my rock,” said Jean Wingate, adding that her late husband supported her as she worked through a number of significant medical challenges in recent years.
She said the plan was that Barry would retire sometime after observing a half-century in law enforcement and then: “We were just going to travel a lot more and he was going to play tennis and golf.”
Barry Wingate was just 24 days away from the 50th anniversary of his New Hampshire Police Academy graduation.
As a police officer in Bristol and later as chief, her husband “really cared about the young kids,” said Jean Wingate. “He was so easy with the kids and made them feel wonderful. He had a way with himself.”
A native of Plymouth, while her husband hailed from Winchester, Mass., Jean Wingate recalled that “I used to tease him all the time that he was a city slicker and I had to teach him” how to be a resident in a small community in New Hampshire.
“I was very good for him; I brought out a lot that was within him,” said Jean Wingate.
After retiring as Bristol police chief in April 2007, Barry Wingate returned for a second stint with the Grafton County Sheriff’s Office.
His boss, Sheriff Jeff Stiegler, described Wingate as “one of my go-to part-time deputies.”
“We’re very saddened and it’s with a heavy heart that we move forward to honor his legacy. He was a consummate professional and a cop’s cop,” said Stiegler.
Stiegler said Wingate began working part-time for the sheriff’s office in 1991 and ran unsuccessfully in 2003 for the Republican nomination for Grafton County Sheriff.
A graduate of the 16th NH Police Academy and of the FBI National Academy, Wingate had recently told him that he might be retiring in the near future, “and I said you’re free to go,” said Stiegler, “but this is not the way it was supposed to happen and for the second time in five months I’m just pulling myself off the floor from losing an iconic veteran.”
Wayne Fortier, a deputy sheriff with a long career in both local policing and as a member of NH State Police, died on Dec. 8, 2021.
“These guys (Fortier and Wingate) were really something special,” said Stiegler, and will be missed.
Bristol Town Clerk/Tax Collector Raymah Simpson said she and many of her colleagues were “very surprised, shocked,” to learn of Barry Wingate’s death.
“He’d just been in here,” she said. “He was very much a professional and he did a great job as chief.”
Simpson said Wingate will always be remembered for his freely shared, insightful observations.
Even before his passing, Simpson said, town employees would often invoke Wingate, saying “remember when Barry said …”
Calling hours for Wingate will be Tuesday, April 12, from 3-6 p.m. at the Emmons Funeral Home on South Main Street, Bristol and a Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, April 13 at 11 a.m. at the Bristol United Church of Christ.
Following the service, Wingate, who was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, will be interred with military honors at the NH State Veteran’s Cemetery in Boscawen.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 50-year-old man, married for 25 years. My wife is older than me. In the beginning, it was great, but our relationship slowly started failing, and now we argue about everything. I feel like I’m trapped in a cage. We don’t have one single thing in common anymore. I want a happy life with or without her, but I see nothing but darkness around me. When I ask for divorce, I get accused of cheating and threatened with paying her spousal support for the rest of my life. Marriage counseling doesn’t seem to be an option. What should I do?
— WANTS TO BE FREE IN OREGON
DEAR WANTS: If marriage counseling “isn’t an option,” it doesn’t mean you can’t get psychological counseling to help you become emotionally stronger. While you’re at it, it is important that you talk with an attorney about the divorce laws in your state. Once you have done that, you will be better able to decide if you want to “live in darkness” for the rest of your life, or what you may have to sacrifice to be free. You deserve to be happy, and frankly, so does your wife, who also appears to be miserable.
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of four years refuses to come clean to me about his infidelity and cheating. I’ve given him countless chances to come forward, but he always denies it. I caught him with a girl who has been following us around the whole time we’ve been together. Abby, I have done everything I could to get him to own up, but he doesn’t! What can I do so my life can move forward and I won’t have to worry about what he’s doing? I’m heartbroken and he doesn’t care.
— TWO-TIMED IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR TWO-TIMED: As you stated, you have been deeply hurt by your boyfriend’s dishonesty, and he “doesn’t care” about your feelings. He is who he is, and he isn’t going to change. Obviously, one woman isn’t enough for him. You have now wasted four precious years of your life — time you will never get back — on a cheater who lies consistently. Isn’t that enough? Do what you should have done years ago and MOVE ON.
.
DEAR ABBY: I am a fourth grade student who is, let’s say, good at math. I usually finish my math homework easily, but lately it’s been piling up. The problem is, my classmates ask me for help a lot. I enjoy helping them, but sometimes it’s hard to explain things, or I can’t find the time to get my own work done. The teacher is usually doing a math group with other students, so my friends can’t ask her. Should I fall behind by helping my friends or focus on my own work and risk hurting their feelings?
— STRESSED IN IDAHO
DEAR STRESSED: You shouldn’t be helping your friends to the exclusion of your own work. It is important for your sake and your friends’ that you discuss this with your math teacher. She needs to know she should be devoting more attention to the students outside her math group who need further instruction instead of relying on you to do it. After your work is finished, lend a hand to the other students if you wish

Manchester public works officials are poised to launch a street sweeping program this week in multiple neighborhoods throughout the inner city. The pilot area for the program is bounded by Valley Street on the south to Lowell and Amherst streets on the north, and Pine Street on the west to Wilson Street to the east.
Manchester public works officials are poised to launch a street sweeping program this week in multiple neighborhoods throughout the inner city.
The sweeping program will run once a month, beginning in early April and lasting through the end of November.
Sweeping would take place the first Wednesday and Thursday of the month. One side of a street would be swept per day, allowing the other side to remain available for resident parking.
The program will impact parking between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on those days. All vehicles will need to be parked on one side of the street on Wednesday, while the following day they all need to be parked on the opposite side.
“Those who do not park accordingly risk being ticketed or towed,” Manchester police said in a statement.
The pilot area for the program is bounded by Valley Street on the south to Lowell and Amherst streets on the north, and Pine Street on the west to Wilson Street to the east.
New signs are being installed as part of the program. One side of the road will have signs saying, “No Parking First Wednesday of the Month April through November,” while the other side would have signs saying, “No Parking First Thursday of the Month April through November.”
In addition to the signs, public works personnel will use Nixle text alerts and social media to notify residents of the program. Each month Nixle alerts will be sent out ahead of upcoming sweeping efforts.
In the event weather prohibits sweeping efforts, Nixle and social media alerts will be used to notify city residents of the delay.
“While this may cause an inconvenience, it will ultimately help to beautify our city,” city officials said in a statement. “We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in this matter.”

CONCORD — A House-passed plan to restore voter residency requirements into state election law attracted a partisan dispute before a state Senate panel Monday.
The aim of the bill (HB 1203) is to comply with the Supreme Court ruling that a 2018 election law reform (SB 3) was unconstitutional.
House Election Law Committee Chairman Barbara Griffin, R-Goffstown, said the 2022 legislative session is the first opportunity to make those adjustments.
“We heard testimony addressing changes to the statute which were still on the books but were not rescinded; it does create confusion,” Griffin told the Senate Election Laws and Municipal Affairs Committee.
But Rep. Paul Bergeron, D-Nashua, said these House-passed changes would reduce the flexibility local election officials now have to register voters who want to sign up but lack proof that they live at their own address.
It also would compel some voters to sign an affidavit that they would not “ever” have proof of where they live.
“We register homeless people, you are asking them to say, ‘Are you going to be homeless for the rest of your life?’ That’s pretty difficult,” Bergeron said.
Griffin said that “ever” designation would only apply to where the homeless person was staying at the time of that election.
The bill would keep in place a two-tiered voting registration system, which means new voters get a different affidavit to sign under penalty of perjury depending on when they register.
Saying the language was badly crafted, Bergeron and other opponents hope that, like past GOP election laws on residency, this too would end up being fought in court.
After last summer’s ruling, Gov. Chris Sununu urged lawmakers to come together with a proper replacement, pointing out that New Hampshire was one of only a few states that allowed non-residents to cast a ballot.
The House passed the bill last month, 186-153.
Rep. Timothy Horrigan, D-Durham, had objected to the House using his own bill to make the changes.
The original bill Horrigan wrote would have reduced the link between domicile and residency.
“I’m in the unenviable position of asking you to kill my own bill if you are considering passing it in this form,” Horrigan said.
A spokesman for America Votes, a left-leaning interest group, also raised objections to the bill.
The Senate panel did find bipartisan support for some other House-passed bills aimed at improving confidence in the accuracy of election results.
After holding hearings on them Monday, the Senate panel endorsed:
• “Unhooked” voting machines: This bill (HB 1157) would make it against the law for any ballot counting machines used in local or state elections to at any time be connected with the internet;
• Voting machine tapes: Under this bill (HB 1527), the town would keep one copy and send another to state election officials of the paper tape that summarized all election results coming from each voting machine used in an election.
• Custody of ballot boxes: This bill (HB 1457) contains more specific requirements for logging the custody of the ballot boxes right after the election up until, under existing law, the ballots are destroyed.

SWANZEY -- Cheshire County officials announced plans Friday to build a home for their proposed county-run EMS service on a newly purchased piece of land in Swanzey.
The $1.1 million project will be paid for entirely through American Rescue Plan Act funds, County Administrator Christopher Coates said in an email Friday.
He announced the project in a press release Friday, saying that the county has purchased 53 Monadnock Highway in Swanzey, “culminating a yearlong search for a well-situated operating location for multiple ambulances.”
The property was purchased for $395,000. The building costs are estimated to be $705,000, which includes the renovation of an office building.
The county has hired architects and builders for the new location, received Planning Board approval from the town of Swanzey, and is expected to break ground as soon as April, “as the weather and supplies allow.”
“This construction and renovation is expected to have a very fast timeline with a completion date of September of this year,” Coates said.
Vehicles for Cheshire EMS will include seven ambulances, one paramedic intercept and two wheelchair vans. All vehicle purchases will be covered by ARPA funds as well, Coates said in his email.
The county has secured priority manufacturing and customization from Ford Motor Company and other ambulance entities, Coates said, and of the seven ambulances, “four are destined to be off the main manufacturing line by the first week of June with delivery before the end of July.”
The new county department of Emergency Medical Services will be known as Cheshire EMS, the announcement said.
Coates said the project reflects “tremendous progress” toward the long-term goals of the county of having a permanent home for Cheshire EMS that will include “state-of the-art medical equipment that will serve the medical emergency and transportation needs of the County’s citizens.”
Cheshire EMS is expected to employ 30 to 40 people, Coates said in his email. The facility will be staffed 24/7 with about six to eight personnel on each shift.
County Human Resources officials have been periodically maintaining contact with the more than 60 individuals who have applied to work for the new county-operated department, the announcement said, adding that the hunt for the person to head up Cheshire EMS is a nation-wide search.
“The County will be hiring a Chief of the department this summer and has already received a dozen applications for this position alone,” Kim May, HR Director for the county, said in the announcement. “The County is currently conducting a nationwide search for a well-qualified leader.”
Municipal Resources Inc. is spearheading the search and screening process for the chief.
About a year and a half ago, the county initiated conversations with the existing private ambulance company in Keene -- DiLuzio Ambulance – “as a transitional measure in ramping up to provide EMS services to the region,” the announcement said.
In November, the county announced its plans to purchase DiLuzio, which operates as a backup for the Keene ambulance service and contracts its services to the towns of Alstead, Fitzwilliam, Gilsum, Harrisville, Marlborough, Marlow, Richmond, Stoddard, Sullivan, Swanzey, Troy, Walpole and Winchester.
“The plan was to undertake a turn-key operation that would help the County transition into its own home with new equipment. Although the initial plan a year and a half ago would have allowed the County to remain in the current Court Street location for about a year while the County located property, discussions regarding the purchase of the private ambulance company assets have taken longer than anticipated for a variety of reasons,” Coates said.
Coates said in his email that due to a non-disclosure agreement he is unable to comment on the status of that purchase at this time. “While there has been no final determination with regard to the DiLuzios,” Coates said, “we have clearly been able to make substantial progress on our own towards our long-term goals.”

Monday felt like Sunday.
Tiger Woods can do that to a place.
The first day of practice rounds at the Masters is typically buzzing, but mostly with thousands of spectators — they call them patrons here — getting their first glimpse of Augusta National, walking the holes, and lining up to spend hundreds and often thousands of dollars on merchandise.
But this Monday felt markedly different as Woods made his near-miraculous return to the storied tournament after a catastrophic rollover car accident in February 2021 that almost cost him his right leg, or perhaps his life.
Not so long ago, the big question was whether Woods, the winner of 15 major championships, would be able to play golf with his son again — let alone test his legs for the 2022 Masters.
But there he was, matching strides with Justin Thomas and Fred Couples, getting ready for yet another comeback story for the ages. He walked a little more rigidly than in the past, slightly favoring his right leg, but still with more fluidity than most every other 46-year-old person on the planet.
Just as remarkable was what was happening outside the ropes, with patrons stacked five to six deep, from tee to green, hoping to get a peek at history.
“Just when you thought he couldn’t push the heights of Tiger mania any higher, he comes here and turns a sleepy Monday into Woodstock,” said Damon Hack, co-host of “Morning Drive” on the Golf Channel, who left his set on the first fairway to join the following.
Even his fellow competitors are swept up in the overriding question of the week: Will he or won’t he play?
“It’s exciting that there’s the possibility he’s going to play this week,” said Adam Scott, who won the 2013 Masters. “I really hope he does. I think no matter what it would just be epic.”
Cellphones aren’t allowed at Augusta National, but cameras are permissible for the three days of practice rounds, so hundreds of people snapped shots of Woods. To memorialize the moment, fans posed for pictures with the world’s most famous golfer in the background, pointing toward him the way they might the Eiffel Tower.
It started when Woods was warming up, with hundreds of people watching him blast balls out of practice bunker, with most of his shots winding up within a beach towel of the cup. They applauded when he stepped out of the white sand and made his way to the practice tees. It’s exceedingly rare for spectators to clap and cheer that way on the driving range.
A jovial Woods then quickly worked his way through his bag on the practice tees, from short irons to long.
“Driver’s out of the bag,” one of the professional photographers noted as Woods was wrapping up. The excited murmur was a tip to fellow media members to speed-walk over to the course — no running allowed — because Woods and an enormous throng of onlookers would soon follow.
The golf course was like a giant shoebox, and wherever Woods went, it was as if someone tilted that box and gave it a tap.
He disappeared into the clubhouse from the practice range, then reemerged on the other side to calls of “Tiger!” and “There he is!” He then spent a few minutes putting on the practice green, where three years ago he was cheered in a championship ceremony for the 2019 Masters.
For Collin Morikawa, ranked third in the world, his first Masters memory was watching Woods win the tournament for the first time in 1997. And Morikawa’s favorite such memory was watching Woods win his fifth green jacket, in 2019.
“I was in college,” said Morikawa, 25, a University of California student at the time. “We were sitting all together, we were watching it. I mean, that Sunday was booked out to do nothing other than watch TV.”
The story line Monday was markedly different, but the scene was familiar as Woods striped his drive down the middle off the first tee then passed his first test, walking down and up the undulating fairway. He was a bit hunched as he chugged up the hill, a climb that looked to require more effort than in years past, but considering what he’s been through, it was nonetheless remarkable.
“I think he’s a good example of life’s not always perfect, and so it’s really exciting to see him on his highs,” said Patrick Cantlay, the former UCLA standout who is making his sixth Masters appearance.
“And so I hope that he is able to tee it up this week and play well, and obviously that’s the greatest thing for our sport. There’s definitely a different feel in tournaments that he tees it up in.”
Even on Mondays.

Bishop Brady High School seems to hold a special allure for Brendan Johnson.
Johnson, who grew up in Weare, attended Bishop Brady, and returned to the school as an assistant football coach when he graduated from Endicott College. Now he’s Bishop Brady’s varsity football coach.
The school announced last week that Johnson will replace Tony Johnson (no relation) as the school’s football coach. Tony Johnson will remain as Bishop Brady’s athletic director.
“When Tony stepped down, he asked if I would be interested in the job, and I said, ‘Absolutely,’” Brendan Johnson said. “So then we went from there. A lot of my role at Endicott was being a player/coach. I feel that I have a deep understanding of the game. I really enjoy it.
“My main goal is to try to make you a better person, a better man and a better teammate. You’re going to learn about football along the way, obviously, but there are bigger things that come from playing football. I owe a lot of who I am today to the game of football.”
Johnson, 24, played basketball and football for Bishop Brady, and then played both sports at Endicott. He spent the last two seasons as an assistant football coach at Bishop Brady.
“I was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach … I did DBs, too,” Brendan Johnson said. “Getting a staff together, people you trust and can depend on, is one challenge. Another challenge is seeing what the numbers are next year (roster size). Even when I was a senior at Brady, we had 28 kids on the team and that number is the most the program has had since then. We’ve been in the low, low 20s the last two seasons. That makes things tough.”
Tony Johnson spent two seasons as Bishop Brady’s head coach. He previously served as the coach and athletic director at Bishop Guertin High School, and the football coach at Worcester (Mass.) Academy. He guided BG, his alma mater, to six state championships in 18 seasons.
“I’ve been coaching for 33 years and loved every minute of it,” Tony Johnson said. “I’m just tired. I knew it was time to step down. Brendan’s a great kid. He’s been our offensive coordinator the last two years and he’ll do a great job.”

Chris Sale has been feeling better in recent days, but a stress fracture in his rib will cause him to miss at least the first two months of the season.
The Red Sox on Monday placed Sale on the 60-day injured list, making him ineligible to return before June. He hasn’t thrown since hurting his rib while throwing a pitch at Florida Gulf Coast University during the MLB lockout in February.
Sale told reporters in Fort Myers on Saturday that a recent MRI showed that the bone is healing and the bruising is going down. He said he could throw now if he needed to, but wants to be sure he’s healthy before he starts ramping up.
“I feel good, night and day,” he told reporters. “I can run. I can jump. I can twist. I can start doing some things. There is nothing going on with the muscle. It’s just the bone, which is a good thing. But you have to make sure the muscles don’t do something before the bone is ready to handle it. They attach. This pulls on this. And if this pulls too much it can be irritated or do something to it.”
Giving Sale guaranteed time to heal is a safe bet to ensure he doesn’t rush himself back. This way he can take his time and likely make some rehab starts before he returns to the big leagues.
The Red Sox will go into the season with a rotation of Nathan Eovaldi, Nick Pivetta, Tanner Houck, Michael Wacha and Rich Hill.
James Paxton, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, is also expecting a mid-season return.
The Sox also added right-hander Tyler Danish to the big league roster. The 27-year-old hasn’t been in the big leagues since 2018. He has a career 4.85 ERA in 13 innings over three years with the White Sox. He had a 3.84 ERA with 79 strikeouts and 15 walks in 70-1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A in the Angels organization last year.
MLB also announced that former Red Sox utility man Danny Santana, currently a free agent, was suspended 80 games after testing positive for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing drug. Santana along with two other free agents, Richard Rodríguez and José Rondón, were suspended for the same drug. They’re the first three players to be suspended for PEDs since the lockout ended. Players were not being tested for PEDs during the lockout, worrying industry experts who predicted players would try to fast-track PEDs in the downtime.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney announced Monday night they will vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic elevation to the Supreme Court, giving President Joe Biden’s nominee a burst of bipartisan support and all but assuring she’ll become the first Black female justice.
The senators from Alaska and Utah announced their decisions ahead of a procedural vote to advance the nomination and as Democrats pressed to confirm Jackson by the end of the week. GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine announced last week that she would back Jackson.
All three Republicans said they did not expect to agree with all of Jackson’s decisions, but that they found her well qualified. Romney said she “more than meets the standard of excellence and integrity.”
With three Republicans supporting her in the 50-50 split Senate, Jackson is on a glidepath to confirmation and on the brink of making history as the third Black justice and only the sixth woman in the court’s more than 200-year history. Beyond the historic element, Democrats have cited her deep experience in nine years on the federal bench and the chance for her to become the first former public defender on the court.
Both Collins and Murkowski said they believed that the Senate nomination process has become broken as it has become more partisan in the past several decades.
Murkowski said her decision partly rests “on my rejection of the corrosive politicization of the review process for Supreme Court nominees, which, on both sides of the aisle, is growing worse and more detached from reality by the year.”
Biden nominated Jackson to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. Biden has sought bipartisan backing for his pick, making repeated calls to senators and inviting Republicans to the White House.
The Senate’s 53-47 vote Monday evening was to “discharge” Jackson’s nomination from the Senate Judiciary Committee after the panel deadlocked, 11-11, on whether to send the nomination to the Senate floor.
The committee vote, split along party lines, was the first deadlock on a Supreme Court nomination in three decades.
“Judge Jackson will bring extraordinary qualifications, deep experience and intellect, and a rigorous judicial record to the Supreme Court,” Biden tweeted earlier Monday. “She deserves to be confirmed as the next justice.”
The Judiciary committee’s top Republican, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, said he was opposing Jackson’s nomination because “she and I have fundamental, different views on the role of judges and the role that they should play in our system of government.”
The committee hadn’t deadlocked since 1991, when Biden was chairman and a motion to send the nomination of current Justice Clarence Thomas to the floor with a “favorable” recommendation failed on a 7-7 vote. The committee then voted to send the nomination to the floor without a recommendation, meaning it could still be brought up for a vote.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky set the tone for most of his party last week when he said he “cannot and will not” support Jackson, citing GOP concerns raised in hearings about her sentencing record and her backing from liberal advocacy groups.
Republicans on the Judiciary panel continued their push Monday to paint Jackson as soft on crime, defending their repeated questions about her sentencing on sex crimes.
“Questions are not attacks,” said Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, one of several GOP senators on the panel who hammered the point in the hearings two weeks ago.
Jackson pushed back on the GOP narrative, declaring that “nothing could be further from the truth.” Democrats said she was in line with other judges in her decisions. And on Monday they criticized their GOP counterparts’ questioning.
“You could try and create a straw man here, but it does not hold,” said New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.
The questioning was filled with “absurdities of disrespect,” said Booker, who also is Black, and he said he will “rejoice” when she is confirmed.
Derrick Johnson, president and chief executive officer of the NAACP, expressed disappointment with the tie, even as he noted that Jackson had cleared an important hurdle. He said “history will be watching” during the full Senate vote later this week.

RIO RANCHO, N.M. – Doorbell cameras catch a lot in New Mexico, including a bizarre home investigation in Rio Rancho where the victims ended up in handcuffs.
Late last week, police got called about a robbery in progress but KOB 4 explains why the suspects were able to get away.
The neighbor who shared the video with KOB 4 did not go on camera, but said he is still confused by the whole situation. All they did was get their kids to a safe part of the house, and share the video.
“There is a male armed with a rifle on foot that fled behind the target’s residence that ran north, right now we are still set up on the front.”
The Rio Rancho Police Department says they were looking for suspects in a robbery who fled on foot – while they didn't find the suspect, the homeowner did come out to talk to police.
“I want you to come behind this car and lay down on the ground. OK. Is anyone else inside? Yes. How many people? One.”
But it didn't go as he expected.
“Why are you cuffing me, I'm the homeowner.”
KOB 4 spoke to the homeowner Monday, he wanted to remain anonymous because the suspects are still on the loose, but he says the whole night was a scary situation.
“Untwist my arm why are you doing this to me, what did I do? Untwist my arm,” said the homeowner in video.
When asked why the homeowner was detained, RRPD said in a statement:
“Officers handcuffed everyone present for safety and scene security, not knowing who the victims were, and who were suspects.”
As of now, police have not yet identified any suspects and say the investigation is ongoing.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Green chile might have some competition for New Mexico’s state food as some agricultural experts believe it's time for the state to start producing and tapping into the maple syrup business.
One professor at New Mexico State University is teaming up with other agriculture experts across the Rocky Mountains to bring maple syrup production out west.
When you think of maple syrup and where it comes from, New Mexico probably doesn’t top the list like places up north, say Canada or Vermont. Walking down the aisle at the grocery store, your options for maple syrup almost all come from out east.
But there are a handful of folks right here in the Land of Enchantment trying their luck at making their own maple syrup.
“Here is a sample from Taos,” Dr. Rolston St. Hilaire said holding up a small container of golden syrup. “This is maple syrup from a box elder. It’s got a nice flavor too, it’s delicious.”
Dr. Rolston St. Hilaire has spent his career studying maple trees. When he moved down to New Mexico and started teaching at NMSU, he wondered if he could get syrup from the trees down here.
“So, I’ve tapped my own research trees and I was sort of astounded that I got sap,” St Hilaire said.
When people think of plants in New Mexico they think of Juniper trees and Hatch green chile. But St. Hilaire is working to add maples to that list.
“The reception has been overwhelming actually, there are a couple people, a few craft people, who have seen it on the internet and YouTube, people tapping maples, so there are a few people out here who know this can be done,” St Hilaire said.
New Mexico has multiple native species of maple trees, from the Box Elder to the Bigtooth maple. St Hilaire says this variety could lead to some interesting new types of maple syrup.
“Based on the number of trees and the diversity of the species we have we certainly can make syrup and I think it is possible to have a viable maple syrup industry in New Mexico,” St Hilaire said.
While you can make maple syrup down here in the southwest it might take a long time for us to get on the same level of maple production that we see in Vermont or Maine.
“It may not be possible to rival them in head to head, but like everything else we could create a craft market. For example, we have Hatch chile here so think about a maple syrup infused with our chile that could be a big craft product from New Mexico!” St Hilaire said.
Now, St. Hilaire and his colleges want anyone who has maple trees in their yard and want to learn how to tap the trees - to contact him at his email address, rsthilai@nmsu.edu. Because they are planning workshops to show folks how to get the sap out of the trees and give them a free maple tapping kit, so you can get started right away.

SANTA FE, N.M. – New Mexico lawmakers are heading back to the Roundhouse this week to discuss how to put more money back in your pocket.
Lawmakers released their agenda Monday, and they're planning to discuss a special tax rebate offering a couple of hundred dollars to most New Mexicans.
The tax rebate they plan to vote on Tuesday is in addition to the $250 most New Mexicans are expecting this July.
"Too many New Mexicans are having to make a choice between putting groceries on the table and paying for a full tank of gas to take their kid to little league practice, to take their kid to the doctor's office," said state Rep. Javier Martinez.
Lawmakers plan for two payments of $250 per taxpayer, that means $500 total, with families and couples getting $1,000. New Mexicans will get it regardless of how much they make, and the payments will arrive automatically this Spring and again this Fall.
Republicans who generally favor the plan say the timing of one payment before both the primary and general elections is pure politics.
"I think New Mexicans are smarter than that and I don't think it'll work, but you can't tell me May and late October is coincidental," said state Rep. Jim Townsend.
But Democrats say splitting up the payments lets them space $250 windfalls for taxpayers in Spring, Summer, and Fall. Plus, it spreads the cost to the state over two different fiscal years.
The other reason lawmakers convened, is Gov. Michelle Lujan's vetoed of the $50 million dollar pet project bill. She criticized a lot of the spending, saying it wasn't smartly targeted, and it wasn't transparent enough. KOB 4 was told the projects are the same.

Note: The video above and details below may be disturbing to some viewers.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – We are now seeing just how heinous a deadly shooting was at an Albuquerque massage business earlier this year. Police say two men killed the shop's owner when they tried to rob the place.
Prosecutors used surveillance video to try and keep one of the two suspects locked up until trial. They say Jorge Rivera-Ramirez is too dangerous to be out of jail, he is accused of robbing and killing Sihui Fang, the owner of Wonderful Massage.
According to court documents, Rivera-Ramirez and a partner, Juan Carlos Hernandez, went to the massage business in January to rob it. When Fang pulled a gun and fought back, shots were fired and Fang was killed.
“As you can see, your honor, she was trying to get out the front door, she was trying to leave. She didn't care what happened to that massage parlor, what they took, she just wanted her life and the defendant and the co-defendant did not care,” said prosecutors.
Prosecutors say Rivera-Ramirez was one of those suspects. On Monday, they asked a judge to hold him in jail before trial. They argued not only was he too dangerous to be released, but was in the middle of another criminal case when this happened.
“He was pending that charge as well as pending conditions of release when this case took place,” prosecutors said.
They believe Rivera-Ramirez and partner, Hernandez, were behind a string of robberies at other massage businesses.
Rivera-Ramirez's attorney asked for his release.
“My client doesn't have much of a criminal history at all. I know he is very, very young,” said the defense.
Ultimately, a judge sided with prosecutors, keeping Rivera-Ramirez in jail before trial.
“Given the evidence that's been presented, it gives the court a great deal of concern regarding the defendant's capacity for violence,” said the judge.
His alleged partner in all of this, Hernandez, was also ordered to stay in jail before trial. Both are facing a long list of charges, including murder.

ALAMOGORDO, N.M- From riding a horse across the country; to controversial comments against Democrats and his ardent backing of former President Donald Trump, Couy Griffin has made headlines and become a notable figure in national politics.
But it is the charges related to his alleged actions in Washington, D.C. during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters, for which the Cowboys for Trump founder and Otero County Commissioner has received the most attention.
Griffin, 48, was charged federally with one count each of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds in relations to his actions that day.
At the time, Griffin was among the throngs in Washington, D.C. to attend a rally held by Trump, which revolved around Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Following a bench trial in Washington, D.C. in March, Griffin was found guilty of entering or remaining in a restricted area charge, but found not guilty on the disorderly or disruptive conduct charge.
He could face up to a year in prison when he is sentenced June 17.
In a recent interview with KOB, Griffin admitted that he is concerned about the possibility of going to prison, but maintains his innocence. He also characterizes the trial as a partial victory for him, given that the government failed to convict him on the disorderly and disruptive conduct charge.
“That was big because the government was wanting me to plead guilty on that. By me winning and being acquitted on the disorderly and disruptive charge, only further proves I was standing at a peaceful protest. I did nothing violent on that day. I did nothing disruptive on that day. I did nothing disorderly on that day,” Griffin said.
As for the charge on which he was convicted, Griffin insists the area he was in on the day of the attack was not marked restricted and that he was merely engaging the crowd in prayer.
“Personally, my personal actions, I have zero regret of that day, because I was just standing on what I thought was ground that the people owned, the capital grounds and I was just expressing my right to peacefully protest,” Griffin stated.
Though he says he condemns the violence and property damage of the Jan. 6 attack, Griffin also decries what he says is the inhumane treatment people arrested on charges related to the attack have faced. It’s a claim that has been embraced by many conservatives, including Trump.
Among those Griffin says he is disappointed in is Trump, who he says did not speak out enough on the issue. Griffin also said he disagrees with the Trump administration’s successful effort to create vaccines meant to halt the spread of COVID-19 and other pandemic measures.
Griffin said those areas make him uncertain as to whether he would back a possible 2024 bid by Trump for the White House.
“Where I sit right now, I don’t know if I could support Trump in a future campaign,” Griffin said.
State charge
In New Mexico, Griffin faces more charges. He has been charged with a misdemeanor campaign violation for failing to register Cowboys for Trump with the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office as a political action committee.
A charge he denies and has described as politically motivated. Griffin had attempted to challenge the law, an effort rejected by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Griffin though said he is working with Sidney Powell, the controversial attorney who represented the Trump campaign, to appeal the ruling.
He added he is confident he will win the case on appeal.

SANTA FE, N.M. – You can plan all you want - but fires are unpredictable. Even for a man who dedicated his life to fighting them and saving lives.
On Friday, a fire destroyed Ted Bolleter's home in Osage, Santa Fe. Bolleter is a retired Santa Fe Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief.
The retired assistant fire chief was home with his five grandchildren, and his son and daughter-in-law when the fire started in the backyard. Almost everybody made it out safely, but Bolleter was not so lucky. He is in the hospital with burns to his body.
“You just knew like this was going to be devastating for people,” said Luke Dorman, a neighbor who saw the fire Friday.
It happened in an instant.
“I heard the propane tanks, they were probably the smaller tanks for the grills,” said Veronica Moya, another neighbor.
Flames devoured the Santa Fe home, destroying just about everything in its path.
“I couldn’t believe my house was burning,” said Jo Ann Bolleter, as she drove home on Friday.
It was a home so special and full of so many memories. Bolleter said Ted grew up in that house and raised his family in that home.
“It’s hard because it hits closer to home,” said Santa Fe Fire Chief Brian Moya.
Chief Moya said it happened Friday around 6 p.m.
“When we arrived, there was flames coming out of the second story. We were able to extinguish them within 30 minutes,” said Chief Moya.
The Bolleter family believes it may have been caused by a stray ember. They were planning on cooking outside in their backyard oasis, now they are just reminding themselves how lucky they really are.
Family members said they are hopeful the home they created so many memories in will live on.
“We will rebuild,” said Bolleter. “Not the way it looks now. It will be a smaller home. But we'll still have memories there.”
With the help of so many people, now coming to their rescue
A Santa Fe firefighter was also injured in the blaze. Bolleter is still at UNM Hospital in Albuquerque. Folks with the fire department said he has a long road ahead but he is expected to be ok.
A GoFundMe page was set up for the Bolleter family.

Guy Fieri fed hundreds of New Jersey veterans in Middletown, NJ
MIDDLETOWN — Guy Fieri’s most recent visit to New Jersey was not to a diner, drive-in or dive — but to feed a few hundred military veterans as part of the celebrity chef’s charitable efforts.
Fieri and his team cooked meals for the crowd of 400 veterans and other guests at VFW Post 2179 Port Monmouth on Friday.
As part of the Guy Fieri Foundation’s “Honoring Heroes Event” series, the afternoon was attended by VFW members and other veterans, first responders and their families.
“What an awesome experience. It is not everyday you can say that you pumped out 700lbs of pulled pork! Thank you to Guy Fieri Foundation for honoring all of our veterans and Guy Fieri for making this all possible,” local chef, Steve Mago wrote on Facebook, along with photos from the memorable day.
Monmouth County Commissioner Director Tom Arnone, Deputy Director Sue Kiley and Commissioner Ross Licitra helped serve up the food, as seen on the county’s Twitter feed.
VFW Junior Vice Commander Duane Sarmiento also presented Fieri with a personalized VFW shirt to commemorate the occasion.
And, the food didn't stop, there.
Video clips posted to the Guy Fieri Foundation Twitter feed shows meal prep in Manville on Saturday, for roughly 200 veterans who couldn't make it to the event a day earlier.
A round of meals also was delivered to veterans living in Tinton Falls, according to the foundation.
“We envision a world where our communities are supported and our heroes are celebrated,” the Guy Fieri Foundation website reads.
Its mission statement is to use “Food, Cooking and Education to Support, Uplift, and Encourage our Communities.”
It turns out that Fieri might have even squeezed in the chance to scout out a couple more potential Jersey contenders for his mega-popular TV show, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."

Inflation, imbalance: Lots of anxiety over NJ’s $49B budget plan
TRENTON – New Jersey’s budget spends more than it takes in and isn’t sustainable in the long run, nonpartisan fiscal analysts told lawmakers at a Monday hearing – though also said that point would be moot if revenues exceed Gov. Phil Murphy’s expectations, as they expect will happen.
Considering that revenues are running billions of dollars ahead of expectations and the surplus has reached record levels, there was plenty of anxiety as the Assembly Budget Committee met to review state revenues, kicking off their intensive review of the $48.9 billion state spending plan.
Legislative Budget and Finance Officer Thomas Koenig of the Office of Legislative Services said a budget that is balanced using $1.7 billion in surplus isn’t sustainable in the long run when the surplus is $4.6 billion.
“In somewhat flippant terms, this budget proposal could be viewed as engaging in deficit spending when revenues are exceptionally energetic,” Koenig said.
However, Koenig noted, the Office of Legislative Services forecasts that the state will collect $3.2 billion more over the next 15 months than the Murphy administration thinks. If so, that would more than wipe out any structural deficit.
“Broadly speaking, we think the governor’s revenue expectations are reasonable, even though they are substantially lower than our expectations,” said David Drescher, the chief for OLS’ Revenue, Finance and Appropriations Section.
Drescher said the gap isn’t surprising and the difference will probably narrow a lot by next month, after the administration and Legislature get to review all-important April tax revenue collections.
Most of the difference stems from forecasts for corporate taxes and something called the “pass-through business alternative income tax” – which was created to work around federal limits on state and local tax deductions, which will wind up getting claimed as tax credits.
State Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio said those are among the state’s most “volatile and unpredictable” revenue sources. She said she’s “very happy” OLS foresees additional revenue and that it’s understandable, given a blockbuster March. But for now, the official forecast remains less than 1% in anticipated revenue growth.
“Erring on the side of caution is not just wise, it’s warranted on the heels of a historically volatile time for revenues,” Muoio said.
Inflation was a major recurring theme at the budget hearing, amid concerns that interest rate hikes will trigger a recession. Assemblyman Hal Wirths, R-Sussex, agreed with Drescher that signs of a downturn are becoming more apparent.
“That’s just obvious,” Wirths said. “The No. 1 thing I’m hearing from my constituents over and over is they’re scared to death of the rapid inflation taking place, and we all got to be honest – God only knows where it’s going to stop.”
Retail sales are slowing compared to last year, but Martin Poethke, director of the Treasury’s Office of Revenue and Economic Analysis, said the outside experts the state consults believe they are expected to still climb 5% to 8% this year.
“Considering that the sales tax is up 17% in March, retail sales had to be up,” Poethke said. “There’s no way in New Jersey that you could have 17% growth in the sales tax if retail sales had declined.”
Muoio said the revenue forecast doesn’t anticipate a recession – but that the 8.6% budget surplus is a hedge against one.
“That’s why we are taking a more cautious approach with regard to our revenues for FY23,” Muoio said. “We’re prepared. We’re not assuming anything heroic in FY23.”
Koenig said the fiscal impact of a recession on the state budget could be significant.
“If at any point in time we enter a recession, which could happen, we can expect the loss of billions of tax revenue,” Koenig said.
In a recession, Drescher said, Wall Street bonuses would shrink, hurting income taxes. Business taxes alone could drop by $2 billion, he said, from the currently projected $5.5 billion.
“Most of our really booming revenues, the corporation business tax has every reason to be sensitive to an economic downturn. It’s so high right now,” Drescher said.
Even without a recession, inflation can alter tax collection patterns – but not all in the same direction.
Inflation would hurt gas tax revenues if people save money by driving less. Sales taxes go up, as they’re based on price – unless the overall economy contracts. Drescher said it also depends if inflation affects prices for everything or mainly food and fuel.
“That’s bad for the state because grocery food is not taxed, so there’s no sales tax, and fuel is taxed per gallon, not based on value,” Drescher said.

‘Let’s Go Brandon’ store officially open in Toms River, NJ
Knock yourselves out, Trump supporters.
You can now go to the Let’s Go Brandon store in Toms River, New Jersey. The store already had a soft launch last month but is now open for business at 1405 Route 37 East.
For anyone out of the loop, “Let’s Go Brandon” became a catchphrase of those who dislike President Joe Biden.
Originating from a televised car race, the NBC broadcaster mistakingly thought the crowd was chanting the name of the winner, Brandon Brown. They were, in fact, chanting “F*** Joe Biden.”
Thus, a catchphrase was born.
The new Let’s Go Brandon store will feature a bunch of merchandise to let you display your anti-Biden, anti-Hillary, or simply anti-Democrat thoughts.
They have your classic political merch, like bumper stickers, magnets, and posters.
Of course, there are flags and banners to celebrate your love of 'Murica. As well as your support of Trump's likely run in the 2024 election.
There are T-shirts adding Donald Trump into various memes, movies, and television shows.
Sweatshirts to let people know how you really feel about the current administration. According to the store owners, this "We the People are Pissed Off" hoodie is one of the best selling items.
"Blue Live Matter" flags in addition to the standard American flag. Plus hats.
You'll be able to find the store easily. In addition to the storefront sign, there's a huge van with President Trump. and the words "Make America Great Again" on the side.
If this is your kind of thing, enjoy. You can read my full thoughts on the store here.
The post above reflects the thoughts and observations of New Jersey 101.5's Kylie Moore. Any opinions expressed are Kylie's own.

Staff at these 3 NJ Starbucks stores are thinking of unionizing
Workers at three Starbuck stores in Central Jersey have begun considering efforts to unionize, as area lawmakers have thrown support behind trying to get the company not to retaliate against such actions.
Employees at Starbucks in Hopewell, Summit and Hamilton are the first voting in New Jersey on whether to join Starbucks Workers United. There are roughly 250 Starbucks location statewide.
A letter urging the company not to union-bust has been signed by seven of the state’s Congressional delegates, as well as 18 state legislators.
“We are listening and learning from the partners in these stores, as we always do across the country,” a Starbucks spokesperson said in a written statement to New Jersey 101.5.
“And, from the beginning, we’ve been clear in our belief that we are better together as partners without a union between us — and that conviction has not changed,” the spokesperson continued.
Workers at Starbucks stores in Buffalo, New York, were the first to join SB Workers United late last year. As of April 1, there were ten unionized Starbucks locations, nationwide, according to the labor group.
Fair Election Principles
A letter, addressed to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz (who returned to helm the company on an interim basis in March), supports what the Starbucks union has dubbed “Fair Election Principles.”
Among its points, it advocates for Starbucks management not to bribe or threaten partners with higher or lower wages or benefits to gain support.
Workers at the Hopewell Starbucks said their location has already seen what they call “intimidation tactics by management,” amid efforts to consider unionizing there.
“After we filed, we also experienced many of these, including captive audience meetings, one-on-one meetings with upper management intended to intimidate us, and countless flyers put up in the employee-area of our store that blatantly lie to us about unions," according to a joint statement released by SB Workers United.
"The latest instance has been cutting our labor, which are hours of work that many workers depend on not only to pay their bills, but also to qualify for essential benefits like health care.”
Baristas say they feel "unseen and unheard" on working conditions in recent years.
“When I started at Starbucks 20 years ago, I never imagined that I’d be strongly supporting an effort to unionize. At that time, I genuinely felt respected by my company,” according to Bella Griep, who works at the Hamilton store.
“Most of the time we’re severely short-staffed, it makes for a really stressful work environment,” according to a shift supervisor at the Summit store, Janeisha Allen-Adlam.
The situation grew worse during the COVID-19 pandemic, she continued, as there were shifts when only two or three out of seven scheduled employees were working.
NJ lawmaker support
“We stand in solidarity with Starbucks workers seeking to organize in our state and our communities,” U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman said in a written statement. “New Jersey is stronger when workers have a collective voice in their pay and working conditions.”
“The pandemic highlighted how the economy has benefited big corporations and the wealthy at the expense of working people. All workers should be able to organize for better wages and fair working conditions free of intimidation,” U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross said in the same joint release.
Norcorss himself is a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 351.
In addition to Watson Coleman and Norcross, U.S. Reps. Andy Kim, Mikie Sherrill, Frank Pallone, Donald Payne and Bill Pascrell also endorsed the union's efforts to get a fairness pledge from Starbucks' CEO.
The following state legislators, all Democrats, also signed the same letter:
Senate Majority Leader Teresa Ruiz, Sen. Richard Codey, Sen. Joseph Cryan, Sen. Patrick Diegnan, Sen. Vin Gopal, Sen. Fred Madden, Sen. Troy Singleton, Sen. Brian Stack, Sen. Shirley Tuner, Sen. Andrew Zwicker, Assemblyman Craig Coughlin, Assemblyman Daniel Benson, Assemblyman Herb Conaway Jr., Assemblyman Robert Karabinchak, Assemblywoman Angela McKnight, Assemblywoman Ellen Park, Assemblyman Anthony Verrelli, Assemblyman Joseph Egan

Jason Riddle, seen here with wine he allegedly stole from a lawmaker’s office Jan. 6, 2021. The Keene man received 30 months of probation for entering the Capitol with a stream of people walking in, and taking a bottle of wine and a book from a congressional office.
A Keene man has been sentenced for his minor role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Jason Riddle of Keene received 30 months of probation for entering the Capitol with a stream of people walking in, and taking a bottle of wine and a book from a congressional office. A judge also ordered him to pay $754 in restitution, and perform 100 hours of community service.
Riddle has said he regretted his actions, and said he thought he was going to Washington, D.C., that day to watch Trump speak. In the sentencing memorandum, a judge noted that Riddle had not brought any weapons, bear spray or zip ties to the Capitol, and had not traveled as part of a large group.
“The public debate as to sentencing options and general deterrence in these cases has been robust,” the judge wrote. “The Court, as evidenced by the cases previously cited, has concluded on at least nine past occasions that broad, general deterrence concerns can be satisfied without imprisonment.”
Riddle is one of three people from New Hampshire charged in connection with the Jan. 6 riot.
Thomas Gallagher of Bridgewater also received probation and was ordered to pay restitution and perform community service.
The case against Kirstyn Niemala of Hudson is ongoing. Earlier this month, Niemala asked a judge to modify the conditions of her release to allow her to smoke marijuana.

TUPELO • A nominee for Tupelo’s Major Thoroughfare Committee has withdrawn himself from consideration amid friction between the mayor and a council member over his nomination.
Tupelo Mayor Todd Jordan confirmed that Tommy Scott, his pick to serve on the Major Thoroughfare Committee, removed himself from consideration over the weekend. Jordan noted that he had not spoken with Scott and did not know the reason for his withdrawal.
“It was a little bit of a shock that he withdrew, but we will move on,” Jordan told the Daily Journal on Monday.
Tupelo City Council was scheduled to vote on Scott’s appointment during their April 5 meeting.
The withdrawal follows Jordan's decision to break tradition and eschew a council member's recommendation to the committee in favor of his own. Ward 7 Councilwoman Rosie Jones recommended former Tupelo police officer Tiffany Gilleylen in November, but the mayor rejected it.
Jones said she had spoken to Scott over the weekend but did not ask him to pull his name from the recommendation. She also said she would be willing to recommend him to another committee, noting he had previously expressed interest in the Police Advisory Committee.
Scott did not respond to attempts to reach him.
Jordan previously said he had picked Scott to serve on the committee before Jones made her nomination known. Jones, however, claims Jordan did not support Gilleylen because she twice sued the city over alleged civil rights violations from her time with the Tupelo Police Department.
Jordan said the lawsuits, both of which were settled out of court, did not factor into his decision.
The mayor said he has received more resumes from interested residents for the committee and would be looking for someone to replace Scott. When asked if he would consider Gilleylen as his appointment, he said he was “not going to rule anyone out” and affirmed he would “work with any of the council members if they have anything in their ward.”
Jones said she had not spoken to the mayor since Scott withdrew his nomination.
The committee totals 18 members and is made up of two representatives from each ward and four at-large positions. The standard practice for appointments to the committee has been for each council member to recommend a candidate, with the mayor then formally nominating those recommendations for a vote by the full council. City Ordinance notes that it is dependent on the mayor to make the final recommendation and does not have the council participation baked in.
Jones recommended Gilleylen in November, along with her other pick, Delano Raphael Henry, to the committee. The council confirmed Henry on Feb. 2 but did not bring Gilleylen to a vote.
The council is poised to vote on Ward 4 Councilwoman Nettie Davis’ recommendation of George Jones to the Major Thoroughfare Committee during their meeting on April 5.

MINFORD — White Gravel Mines presents their second annual Easter Cave.
The Easter Cave will open Friday, April 8 at 3 p.m.
“Our theme is ‘Come and See’ so whereas our Christmas Cave is the incarnation of Christ, the Easter Cave is the rest of the story as presented in the gospels and Bible,” said Tom Martin, Organizer of the event. “There are over 20 different exhibits and it’s a combination of life size figurines and a lot of two to three dimensional carvings that all depict various scenes from the Bible.”
Last year was the first year the Easter Cave opened and over 12,000 visitors attended.
“In the midst of COVID, we never did get a call that we had an active case that come as a result of the cave so I’ll give God credit for that too,” said Martin. “Now that the COVID is looking to be kind of behind us, we really anticipate a lot more visitors and we are really excited to open this coming Friday.”
The cave is located at White Gravel Mines at 4007 White Gravel-McDaniel Rd, Minford, OH 45653.
“It’s self guided so we open up the doors, set the atmosphere, and then we let the message and the spirit of God speak for itself,” said Martin.
Martin said his favorite part is just taking a step back as visitors go through the cave.
“It’s not about us, it’s about the Lord Jesus so I like stepping back, making myself available to answer questions of course, but my favorite part is watching families educate themselves and oftentimes their children,” said Martin.
Each exhibit has a scroll to help describe what is being represented in the different scenes.
“It’s always my favorite part to watch families learn together about the wonderful good do’s of Christ’s resurrection at Easter, the hope that it gives us as Christians,” said Martin.
Granny Janny’s Hot Chocolate and Brothers All American BBQ Food Truck will be set up outside the cave.
“Depending on the weather Granny Janny’s may offer some other treats like fresh baked cookies and maybe some lemonade,” said Martin. “My brothers are also setting up a food stand if someone wants to come out with their appetites they will be able to get some good food.”
Martin said that without all the wonderful help, he couldn’t have done it.
“It’s a non-profit ministry so people come out and volunteer their own time getting ready for the event and of course serving the public while they’re out there,” said Martin. “The other thing that makes this all possible is our visitor’s generous donations.”
Admission is free but donations are accepted.
“We’ve always had what we needed and we intend to keep this message going as long as we can,” said Martin.

The average price of gasoline across South Central Ohio is five cents lower this week at $3.967 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report.
This week’s average prices: South Central Ohio Average: $3.967
Average price during the week of March 28, 2022 $4.018
Average price during the week of April 5, 2021 $2.793
The average price of unleaded self-serve gasoline in various areas:
$4.099 Athens
$3.948 Chillicothe
$4.086 Columbiana
$4.016 East Liverpool
$3.999 Gallipolis
$3.688 Hillsboro
$4.066 Ironton
$3.992 Jackson
$3.839 Logan
$4.009 Marietta
$3.930 Portsmouth
$3.943 Steubenville
$3.883 Washington Court House
$4.039 Waverly
Today’s national average for a gallon of gas is $4.18, which is six cents less than a week ago, 35 cents more than a month ago, and $1.31 more than a year ago. Gasoline prices have been decreasing across the country as crude oil prices have been on the decline for the past several days.
On March 25th, West Texas Intermediate closed the day at $113.90 per barrel. During the following week, prices fluctuated in the mid to high $100 range until President Joe Biden announced plans to release one million barrels of oil per day for six months (180 million barrels) from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The SPR is a collection of underground salt caverns along the Gulf Coast where millions of gallons of crude oil are stored. Created in 1975 and managed by the U.S. Department of Energy, it is said to be the largest supply of emergency crude oil in the world.
The president’s announcement came as OPEC and its allies announced they would maintain a plan to gradually ramp up production with monthly increases. At the close of Friday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate decreased by $1.01 to settle at $99.27.
Domestically, dipping gasoline demand is defying seasonal trends for a third straight week, possibly due to higher pump prices and consumers altering their driving habits. According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), total domestic gasoline stocks increased by 800,000 barrels to 238.8 million barrels last week while demand decreased from 8.63 million barrels per day to 8.5 million barrels per day. The drop in gas demand, alongside growth in total stocks, also contributed to price decreases. If demand continues to decline as gasoline stocks continue to build, the national average will likely continue to move lower.

PORTSMOUTH — A pair of five-run innings, and a shutout pitching performance, helped the Wheelersburg Lady Pirates earn a 13-0 road win over Portsmouth in Friday’s non-league softball meeting.
Both teams are coming off deep runs in the 2021 Division III postseason tournament — Wheelersburg reaching the D-III state semifinals, while Portsmouth was a D-III district runner up a season ago.
The Lady Pirates got on the scoreboard in their very first at-bat — when freshman Catie Boggs hit a solo home run to center field.
A one-out double by junior Macee Eaton proceeded a two-run homer by sophomore AndiJo Howard — giving ‘Burg a 3-0 lead.
Senior catcher Brynley Preston plated a pair of runs in the first with a two-out two-RBI single.
“I like that the bats were starting to come alive. It’s the first of the year and we’ve been struggling putting hits together, situational hitting and two-out hits,” ‘Burg coach Teresa Ruby said. “They came alive today and I felt like we were making better choices with pitches to hit today.”
“You can’t take it easy on any of them, 1-through-9 in their lineup,” Portsmouth coach Kristin Bradshaw said. “Think we left some balls hanging over the plate and they took advantage of it.”
Eaton, Boggs and freshman Kaylynn Carter each had at least three hits on the day — combining for 10 of the Lady Pirates’ 17 hits.
Eaton drove in a team-best three RBI, and gave ‘Burg its final runs with a two-run homer to right field, scoring sophomore Haley Myers.
Sophomore Sydney Skiver drove in a pair of ‘Burg runs with a two-out single in the top of the second.
Howard earned the win in the circle — going five innings, allowing six hits and striking out five Lady Trojans.
“(Andi)Jo pitched well today. Her control was good, moved the ball around well,” Ruby said. “Infield made some pretty good plays today — defensively we’re going to be solid. Long as we can hit and pitch, we’re going to be alright.”
Sophomore Ayonna Carr had a team-best two hits for Portsmouth, while Emily Cheatham, Madison Perry, Olivia Ramey, and Katie Born each reached via hit.
Portsmouth (2-1) began Ohio Valley Conference play on Monday, traveling to Chesapeake — beginning a five-game in five-day stretch.
“AndiJo’s a great pitcher, it was good to have some at-bats — got two-three at-bats and you could see us making adjustments by the second time around,” Bradshaw said. “A few positives that come from playing tonight that will help us going into league play.”
Wheelersburg (4-1) hosted Eastern on Monday in SOC II play.

PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth Trojans jumped out to an early lead and let junior pitcher Vinnie Lonardo settle in during Saturday’s non-league meeting against Notre Dame.
The Trojans scored six runs in the first inning and another four in the second — cruising to an 11-0 win in five innings at Hatcher Field.
“We hit the ball at times and were able to get guys in with the bat, but we really preach putting the ball in play and trying to get on base so we can take advantage of our speed,” Portsmouth coach Aaron Duncan said, afterwards. “We were able to do that today, steal bases, get some timely hits when we were able to get into scoring position.”
Six of the Trojans’ first seven batters reached base in the home half of the first. An RBI double by junior Amari Harmon scored senior Daewin Spence, giving Portsmouth a 3-0 lead.
Sophomore Nathaniel Berry drove in sophomore DeAndre Berry with an RBI single to give the Trojans a 6-0 edge.
Portsmouth benefited from five ND errors on the day and a lights out performance by Lonardo on the hill.
In five innings, Lonardo struck out 11 Titan batters, issued one walk and allowed three hits.
“Vinnie’s a left hander and he’s hard to catch because his ball moves so much. He’s explosive, throwing in the low 80’s,” Duncan said. “When he’s throwing strikes and in the zone, he’s hard to handle. Took him the first inning to get in rhythm, after that he really settled in did a good job of using his fast ball and cutter.
Notre Dame seniors Matt Boldman and Nate Johnson and junior Reagan Lester each had a hit apiece for the Titans.
The Titans (0-3) travel to East on Monday in SOC I play.
Portsmouth begins Ohio Valley Conference play with trips to Chesapeake and Rock Hill and will host South Point on Wednesday.
“Just need to sure up some things that have troubled us in these first couple of games defensively,” Duncan said. “Offensively we just have to keep working so we can put ourselves in position to have base runners throughout the game.”
