KHAR, Pakistan — A powerful bomb ripped through a rally by supporters of a hard-line cleric and political leader in the country's northwestern Bajur district that borders Afghanistan on Sunday, police and health officials said. At least 35 people were killed and more than 100 wounded.
Senior police officer Nazir Khan said the workers convention of Maulana Fazlur Rehman's Jamiat Ulema Islam party was taking place on the outskirts of Khar, the capital of Bajur district, when the explosion took place.
Initially police said 10 people were killed but later more bodies were moved to a hospital bringing the death toll to 35. He said some of the wounded were taken to the city's main hospital in critical condition and the death toll could increase.
Azam Khan, head of the emergency room at Khar's main hospital, said 35 bodies were brought to the hospital and some were taken back by relatives while the number of wounded was now more than 100 as those who earlier went to near small clinics for medical aid consequently brought to the main government hospital.
Government administrator Mohibullah Khan Yousufzai also said death toll rose to 35 and the number of wounded was well over 100. He said the serious wounded people were being airlifted to provincial capital, Peshawar, for better medical care.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group operates across the border in Afghanistan.
Maulana Ziaullah, the local chief of Rehman's party, was among the dead. Senator Abdur Rasheed and former lawmaker Maulana Jamaluddin was also on the stage but escaped unhurt. Party officials said Rehman was not in the rally.
Rehman is considered to be a pro-Taliban cleric and his political party is part of the coalition government in Islamabad. It is not known whether Rehman was present. Meetings are being organized across the country to mobilize supporters for the coming elections.
Bajur, once used to be a tribal region but now a district, has been a safe haven for Islamic militants until recent years when Pakistani military carried out massive operations to eliminate militancy from the tribal region. Militants still strike attacking security forces and civilians often.

Michèle Lamont is a professor of sociology, African and African American studies, and European studies at Harvard. She wrote this column for the Los Angeles Times.
Just a year after the U.S. Supreme Court terminated women’s constitutional right to an abortion, it dealt a triple blow to our collective social fabric in one broad sweep with rulings that undid affirmative action in college admissions, weakened LGBTQ+ Americans’ protections against discrimination and struck down the Biden administration’s college debt forgiveness.
Considered together, these decisions all deprive relatively disadvantaged groups — women, Black and brown Americans, LBGTQ+ people, and lower-income college students and graduates — of legal and other resources that improve their welfare as well as their sense of belonging.
More than just “who gets what,” the court’s rulings affect who feels recognized as a worthy member of our society. Dignity is an essential dimension of well-being that is often overlooked in our materialistic culture. Research has shown that it impacts our health, feelings of belonging and willingness to contribute to society.
For many women, the court’s decision last year in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization symbolizes the subordination of their bodies to a patriarchal order in which their sovereignty over the course of their lives is deeply altered. Similarly, for many Black, brown, LGBTQ+ and lower-income young people who borrowed to support their studies, the end of the court’s latest term will be painfully remembered as an assault on their prolonged effort to gain full membership in American society despite the odds.
Since the latest decisions, my former students who gained access to college and the middle class thanks partly to affirmative action have been expressing deep disappointment in what they see as a “broken contract.” The court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard undermined their belief that good-faith efforts and hard work could be rewarded with full social and economic integration.
As for my LGBTQ+ mentees, they were already reeling from escalating attacks in Republican-controlled states. The Supreme Court’s 303 Creative decision, which deemed a web designer’s supposed freedom of expression more important than their equal rights, left many with mounting anxiety about their position in America, forcing them to reconsider their already fragile faith in our national covenant.
These decisions go beyond revoking rights and violating trust. They raise questions about how these members of the middle class will go on pursuing their callings and contributing to the education and upward mobility of marginalized groups. Their personal commitment to these goals is priceless and essential to reducing inequality in American society. It will not be easily supplemented, revived or replaced.
The conservative justices appeal to a view of the American past grounded in heroic visions of individualism and anti-state attitudes — ideals the country allegedly was built on and must continue to celebrate today. Yet a shared commitment to a collective vision of freedom for all is equally part of our identity and history.
While the policy implications of these rulings have been thoroughly covered, we also need to pay heed to their repercussions for our collective quality of life. We should consider their impact not just on access to resources and protection from discrimination but also the broader message they send about whose past sufferings should be acknowledged and compensated, and how much weight should be put on the history of each group as we shape our shared future. Legal and policy decisions that stigmatize and deny recognition to vulnerable groups make that future more precarious for everyone. | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/30/opinion/opinion-contributor/supreme-court-rights-decisions/ | 2023-07-30T14:19:03 | 1 | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/30/opinion/opinion-contributor/supreme-court-rights-decisions/ |

Editor’s note: This story was originally published on Aug. 3, 2022.
Summertime fishing for togue, or lakers as they are called outside of Maine, has evolved over the years from trolling with metal lines (braided copper and monel) to lead core lines, and finally to downriggers.
Another technique that has taken off like a race car in recent years is jigging or, as some folks call it, spincasting. I was first introduced to this method in 1973 by a friend who had become adept using it on Lake Seymore in Vermont. I have continued to use this non-trolling, togue-busting tactic ever since.
The process is similar to jigging through the ice in that the lure is dropped to the bottom and then given some action by pumping the rod. It’s hellishly effective.
fishing tales from the bdn
The tri-state area of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine is loaded with togue-laden waters where spincasting can be used. In Vermont I have been successful on Caspian Lake, Willoughby Lake and Lake Champlain, among others. I have fished only one lake in Maine by jigging and that was Branch Lake in Ellsworth. I’ll add that it’s a location worth trying.
OK, so you have chosen a lake to fish. How do you find the togue? The easiest way is to use a fish finder in conjunction with a depth chart. During the summer I primarily search for togue near dropoffs, underwater reefs and humps. The chart will direct me to those potential fishing spots, and the fish finder will tell me if anyone is home.
Togue prefer water temperatures between 42 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit, so you need to be searching in deep water. The depths where togue hang out varies from one lake to another, but they will always be where there is food, namely smelts.
In many lakes and ponds, 45 to 65 feet is about the right depth to start looking for togue. In a few lakes such as Lake Champlain in Vermont and Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, spincasters may have to search for togue in much deeper water, 80 to 100 feet.
After finding some fish, I will either drift over the spot, if it’s calm to light winds, or anchor nearby. If the lake is large, and I am fishing far from shore, I often drop a marker buoy near the fish, especially when drifting. I make my own buoys out of white pine, paint them fluorescent orange, and then wrap sturdy string around them with heavy weights at the end.
I recently bought a trolling motor and one of its features is called “spot lock position.” Using the built-in GPS, the trolling motor can keep a boat in that same position, as if it is anchored. Although I haven’t tried it yet, I’m expecting to use it when I spincast for togue and walleyes.
The beauty of jigging for togue is that no lead core line or downriggers are needed. All that is required is a fairly stout 6- to 7-foot spinning rod coupled with a spinning reel loaded with 10- to 15-pound test braided line. I like to use around 6 feet of 8- to 10-pound test leader.
Monofilament line will also work but, because it stretches a lot in deep water, hooking fish may not be as certain. That said, I can tell you that I have landed a ton of togue on monofilament line.
For “bait,” a heavy copper or silver spoon that flutters or wobbles, a white or pearl marabou jig, or soft-bodied shads and tube jigs will catch all you need for supper. Lures like Mooselook Wobblers and Suttons will do the job, too, but they are so lightweight that while they are sinking like a feather to bottom, your partner may already be hooked up with his heavier tube jig! I also find that the lightweight lures tend to tangle more easily with the leader.
Goldfish, Sidewinders and other similarly weighted lures are effective, but, in reality, there is at least a shedload of lures that will work. My favorite lure for this style of fishing is one that you can’t buy.
A good friend made it for me several years ago by shaping a piece of copper tubing into a killer lure. He added a little red paint to it, made scale-like marks by hammering a nail punch on one side, and covered it with a shiny, clear coating. It is my go-to lure.
The deeper the water, the heavier the lure needs to be. A Swedish Pimple will sink like a bullet to the bottom, but there’s not a whole lot of flutter to it and I find it is a lure that also tangles with the leader quite often. On the other hand, it is a time-tested togue catcher.
fishing tales from the bdn
The wobbling of a lure as it descends to bottom attracts nearby togue because it flashes like baitfish. As a result, they will sometimes nail it on its free fall to bottom, so it’s important to be prepared for an impromptu stop of the sinking lure and set the hook.
After casting toward the marked fish and letting the lure settle to bottom, I pump the rod upwards a couple times, reel the line a couple turns, then let the lure sink back to bottom, repeating this process until the bait is straight up and down next to the boat. I then will jig it in place for 4 to 5 minutes (vertical jigging) by raising the rod high and then lowering it slowly to bottom. If no fish accept your presentation, it’s a matter of recasting in the direction of the marked fish. Almost always a togue will grab your lure on the downfall, or just as you start to pull it up again.
If a blockbuster lure that worked so well last week isn’t doing anything after 20 minutes of use, and yet your fish finder is yelling FISH GALORE, try something different until you find a lure that does work.
Sometimes a togue will follow your lure right up to the boat. I’ve had some nice fish do that but after seeing my ugly puss, they put the afterburners on and head straight for the bottom!
If you have a follow like that, quickly open the bail of your reel and let the lure flutter downward. They will often grab it right there before it sinks even a few feet.
In rare instances, I have also been pleasantly surprised by catching rainbows, salmon and brown trout while fishing this way for togue. | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/30/outdoors/perfect-time-to-jig-for-togue-joam40zk0w/ | 2023-07-30T14:19:09 | 1 | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/07/30/outdoors/perfect-time-to-jig-for-togue-joam40zk0w/ |
RYE, N.Y. -- Guests at an amusement park were left traumatized after a ride malfunctioned and would not stop spinning.
The incident happened at Rye Playland, an amusement park located just outside of New York City, on July 23.
Video obtained by Eyewitness News shows the Music Express ride carrying children and adults spinning in reverse. The ride reportedly continued to spin backwards for as long as 10 minutes.
Ride operators tried an emergency stop, but that didn't work. Maintenance crews had to be called to disconnect the power.
One rider said those 10 minutes felt like an eternity.
Park officials said the endless spinning was caused by an electrical malfunction. No injuries were reported.
The ride has since been shut down for now. | https://6abc.com/music-express-rye-playland-new-york-ride/13565468/ | 2023-07-30T14:19:09 | 0 | https://6abc.com/music-express-rye-playland-new-york-ride/13565468/ |
US mother, daughter, reported kidnapped in Haiti, people warned not to travel there
(AP) - A woman from New Hampshire who works for a nonprofit organization in Haiti and her young daughter have been reported as kidnapped as the U.S. State Department issued a “do not travel advisory” in the country and ordered nonemergency personnel to leave there amid growing security concerns.
Alix Dorsainvil, a nurse for El Roi Haiti, and her daughter were kidnapped on Thursday, the organization said in a statement Saturday. El Roi, which runs a school and ministry in Port au Prince, said the two were taken from campus. Dorsainvil is the wife of the program’s director, Sandro Dorsainvil.
“Alix is a deeply compassionate and loving person who considers Haiti her home and the Haitian people her friends and family,” El Roi president and co-founder Jason Brown said in the statement. “Alix has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering as she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus.”
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement Saturday it is “aware of reports of the kidnapping of two U.S. citizens in Haiti,” adding, “We are in regular contact with Haitian authorities and will continue to work with them and our U.S. government interagency partners.”
In its advisory Thursday, the department said that “kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens.”
It said kidnappings often involve ransom negotiations and U.S. citizen victims have been physically harmed.
Earlier this month, the National Human Rights Defense Network issued a report warning about an upsurge in killings and kidnappings and the U.N. Security Council met to discuss Haiti’s worsening situation.
WMUR-TV reported that Dorsainvil is from Middleton, New Hampshire, and went to Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, which has a program to support nursing education in Haiti.
“It doesn’t surprise me that Alex chose to get involved in this type of service work,” Regis College president Toni Hays told the station. “She was amazing. She was passionate, she was compassionate.”

A boom in apartment construction is helping to curb rents but not all renters will benefit
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When viewed through a wide lens, renters across the U.S. finally appear to be getting some relief, thanks in part to the biggest apartment construction boom in decades.
Median rent rose just 0.5% in June, year over year, after falling in May for the first time since the pandemic hit the U.S. Some economists project U.S. rents will be down modestly this year after soaring nearly 25% over the past four years.
A closer look, however, shows the trend will likely be little comfort for many U.S. renters who’ve had to put an increasing share of their income toward their monthly payment. Renters in cities such as Cincinnati and Indianapolis are still getting hit with increases of 5% or more. Much of the new construction is located in just a few metro areas, and many of the new units are luxury apartments, which rent for well north of $2,000.
Median U.S. rent has risen to $2,029 this June from $1,629 in June 2019, according to rental listings company Rent, which tracks rents in 50 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Demand for apartments exploded during the pandemic as people who could work remotely sought more space or decided to relocate to another part of the country.
The steep rent increases have left tenants like Melissa Lombana, a high school teacher who lives in the South Florida city of Miramar, with progressively less income to spend on other needs.
The rent on her one-bedroom apartment jumped 13% last year to $1,700. It climbed another 6% to $1,800 this month when she renewed her lease.
“Even the $1,700 was a stretch for me,” said Lombana, 43, who supplements her teaching income with a side job doing educational testing. “In a year, I will not be able to afford living here at all.”
Lombana’s rent is now gobbling up nearly half her monthly income. That puts her in a category referred to as “cost-burdened” by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, denoting households that pay 30% or more of their income toward rent. Last year, the average rent-to-income ratio per household rose to 30%. This March, it was 29.6%.
Lombana hasn’t had any luck finding a more affordable apartment. While South Florida is one of the metropolitan areas seeing a rise in apartment construction, the units are mostly high-end and not a viable option.
That scenario is playing out across the nation. Developers are rushing to complete projects that were green-lit during the pandemic-era surge in demand for rentals or left in limbo by delays in supplies of fixtures and building materials. Nearly 1.1 million apartments are currently under construction, according to the commercial real estate tracker CoStar, a pace not seen since the 1970s.
Increasing the supply of apartments tends to moderate rent increases over time and can give tenants more options on where to live. But more than 40% of the new rentals to be completed this year will be concentrated in about 10 high job growth metropolitan areas, including Austin, Nashville, Denver, Atlanta and New York, according to Marcus & Millichap. In many areas, the boost to overall inventory will be barely noticeable.
Even within metros where there’ll be a notable increase in available apartments, such as Nashville, most of it will be in the luxury category, where rents average $2,270, nationally. Some 70% of the new rental inventory will be the luxury class, said Jay Lybik, national director of multifamily analytics at CoStar.
That will leave most tenants unlikely to see a big enough reduction in rent to make a difference, industry experts and economists say.
“I think we’re in a period of rent flattening for 12 or 18 months, but it’s certainly not a big rent decline,” said Hessam Nadji, CEO of commercial real estate firm Marcus & Millichap.
“We’re building a multi-decade record number of units,” Nadji said. “It’s going to cause some softening and some pockets of overbuilding, but it’s not going to fundamentally resolve the housing shortage or the affordability problem for renters across the U.S.”
The surge in rents has made it difficult for workers to keep up with inflation despite solid wage gains the past few years and exacerbated a long-term trend. Between 1999 and 2022, U.S. rents soared 135%, while income grew 77%, according to data from Moody’s Analytics.
Realtor.com is forecasting that rents will drop an average of 0.9% this year. But while down nationally, rents are still rising in many markets around the country, especially those where hiring remains robust.
In the New York metro area, the median rent climbed 4.7% in June from a year earlier to $2,899, according to Realtor.com. In the Midwest, rents surged 5.6% in the Cincinnati metro area to $1,188, and 6.9% to $1,350 in the Indianapolis metro area.
The current spike in apartment construction alone isn’t going to be enough to address how costly renting has become for many Americans.
“For the rest of the 2020s rents will continue to grow because millennials are such a big generation and we’re very much in the hole in terms of building housing for that generation,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin. “It will take many good years of new construction to build adequate housing for millennials.”
The bigger challenge is building more work force housing, because the cost of land, labor and navigating the government approval process incentivize developers to put up luxury apartments buildings.
Expanding the supply of modestly priced rentals would help alleviate the strain from so many new apartments targeting renters with high incomes, “although additional subsidies will be needed to make housing affordable to households with the lowest incomes,” researchers at Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies wrote in a recent report.
Despite the overall pullback in U.S. rents, Joey Di Girolamo, in Pembroke Pines, Florida, worries that he’ll face more sharp rent increases in coming years.
Last year, the web designer left a two-bedroom, two-bath townhome he rented for $2,200 a month to avoid a $600 a month increase. This year, his rent went up by $200, a nearly 10% jump.
“That blew me away,” said Di Girolamo, 50. “I’m just kind of dreading what it’s going to be like next year, but especially 3 or 4 years from now.”

A bomb at a political rally in northwest Pakistan kills at least 35 people and wounds more than 100
KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — A powerful bomb ripped through a rally by supporters of a hard-line cleric and political leader in the country’s northwestern Bajur district that borders Afghanistan on Sunday, police and health officials said. At least 35 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded.
Senior police officer Nazir Khan said the workers convention of Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s Jamiat Ulema Islam party was taking place on the outskirts of Khar, the capital of Bajur district, when the explosion took place.
Initially, police said 10 people were killed but later more bodies were moved to a hospital bringing the death toll to 35. He said some of the wounded were taken to the city’s main hospital in critical condition and the death toll could increase.
Azam Khan, head of the emergency room at Khar’s main hospital, said 35 bodies were brought to the hospital and some wre taken back by relatives while the number of wounded was now more than 100 as those who earlier went to near small clinics for medical aid consequently brought to the main government hospital.
Government administrator Mohibullah Khan Yousufzai also said death toll rose to 35 and the number of wounded was well over 100. He said the serious wounded people were being airlifted to provincial capital, Peshawar, for better medical care.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group operates across the border in Afghanistan.
Maulana Ziaullah, the local chief of Rehman’s party, was among the dead. Senator Abdur Rasheed and former lawmaker Maulana Jamaluddin was also on the stage but escaped unhurt. Party officials said Rehman was not in the rally.
Rehman is considered to be a pro-Taliban cleric and his political party is part of the coalition government in Islamabad. It is not known whether Rehman was present. Meetings are being organized across the country to mobilize supporters for the coming elections.
Bajur, once used to be a tribal region but now a district, has been a safe haven for Islamic militants until recent years when Pakistani military carried out massive operations to eliminate militancy from the tribal region. Militants still strike attacking security forces and civilians often.

A boom in apartment construction is helping to curb rents but not all renters will benefit
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When viewed through a wide lens, renters across the U.S. finally appear to be getting some relief, thanks in part to the biggest apartment construction boom in decades.
Median rent rose just 0.5% in June, year over year, after falling in May for the first time since the pandemic hit the U.S. Some economists project U.S. rents will be down modestly this year after soaring nearly 25% over the past four years.
A closer look, however, shows the trend will likely be little comfort for many U.S. renters who’ve had to put an increasing share of their income toward their monthly payment. Renters in cities such as Cincinnati and Indianapolis are still getting hit with increases of 5% or more. Much of the new construction is located in just a few metro areas, and many of the new units are luxury apartments, which rent for well north of $2,000.
Median U.S. rent has risen to $2,029 this June from $1,629 in June 2019, according to rental listings company Rent, which tracks rents in 50 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Demand for apartments exploded during the pandemic as people who could work remotely sought more space or decided to relocate to another part of the country.
The steep rent increases have left tenants like Melissa Lombana, a high school teacher who lives in the South Florida city of Miramar, with progressively less income to spend on other needs.
The rent on her one-bedroom apartment jumped 13% last year to $1,700. It climbed another 6% to $1,800 this month when she renewed her lease.
“Even the $1,700 was a stretch for me,” said Lombana, 43, who supplements her teaching income with a side job doing educational testing. “In a year, I will not be able to afford living here at all.”
Lombana’s rent is now gobbling up nearly half her monthly income. That puts her in a category referred to as “cost-burdened” by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, denoting households that pay 30% or more of their income toward rent. Last year, the average rent-to-income ratio per household rose to 30%. This March, it was 29.6%.
Lombana hasn’t had any luck finding a more affordable apartment. While South Florida is one of the metropolitan areas seeing a rise in apartment construction, the units are mostly high-end and not a viable option.
That scenario is playing out across the nation. Developers are rushing to complete projects that were green-lit during the pandemic-era surge in demand for rentals or left in limbo by delays in supplies of fixtures and building materials. Nearly 1.1 million apartments are currently under construction, according to the commercial real estate tracker CoStar, a pace not seen since the 1970s.
Increasing the supply of apartments tends to moderate rent increases over time and can give tenants more options on where to live. But more than 40% of the new rentals to be completed this year will be concentrated in about 10 high job growth metropolitan areas, including Austin, Nashville, Denver, Atlanta and New York, according to Marcus & Millichap. In many areas, the boost to overall inventory will be barely noticeable.
Even within metros where there’ll be a notable increase in available apartments, such as Nashville, most of it will be in the luxury category, where rents average $2,270, nationally. Some 70% of the new rental inventory will be the luxury class, said Jay Lybik, national director of multifamily analytics at CoStar.
That will leave most tenants unlikely to see a big enough reduction in rent to make a difference, industry experts and economists say.
“I think we’re in a period of rent flattening for 12 or 18 months, but it’s certainly not a big rent decline,” said Hessam Nadji, CEO of commercial real estate firm Marcus & Millichap.
“We’re building a multi-decade record number of units,” Nadji said. “It’s going to cause some softening and some pockets of overbuilding, but it’s not going to fundamentally resolve the housing shortage or the affordability problem for renters across the U.S.”
The surge in rents has made it difficult for workers to keep up with inflation despite solid wage gains the past few years and exacerbated a long-term trend. Between 1999 and 2022, U.S. rents soared 135%, while income grew 77%, according to data from Moody’s Analytics.
Realtor.com is forecasting that rents will drop an average of 0.9% this year. But while down nationally, rents are still rising in many markets around the country, especially those where hiring remains robust.
In the New York metro area, the median rent climbed 4.7% in June from a year earlier to $2,899, according to Realtor.com. In the Midwest, rents surged 5.6% in the Cincinnati metro area to $1,188, and 6.9% to $1,350 in the Indianapolis metro area.
The current spike in apartment construction alone isn’t going to be enough to address how costly renting has become for many Americans.
“For the rest of the 2020s rents will continue to grow because millennials are such a big generation and we’re very much in the hole in terms of building housing for that generation,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin. “It will take many good years of new construction to build adequate housing for millennials.”
The bigger challenge is building more work force housing, because the cost of land, labor and navigating the government approval process incentivize developers to put up luxury apartments buildings.
Expanding the supply of modestly priced rentals would help alleviate the strain from so many new apartments targeting renters with high incomes, “although additional subsidies will be needed to make housing affordable to households with the lowest incomes,” researchers at Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies wrote in a recent report.
Despite the overall pullback in U.S. rents, Joey Di Girolamo, in Pembroke Pines, Florida, worries that he’ll face more sharp rent increases in coming years.
Last year, the web designer left a two-bedroom, two-bath townhome he rented for $2,200 a month to avoid a $600 a month increase. This year, his rent went up by $200, a nearly 10% jump.
“That blew me away,” said Di Girolamo, 50. “I’m just kind of dreading what it’s going to be like next year, but especially 3 or 4 years from now.”

US mother, daughter, reported kidnapped in Haiti, people warned not to travel there
(AP) - A woman from New Hampshire who works for a nonprofit organization in Haiti and her young daughter have been reported as kidnapped as the U.S. State Department issued a “do not travel advisory” in the country and ordered nonemergency personnel to leave there amid growing security concerns.
Alix Dorsainvil, a nurse for El Roi Haiti, and her daughter were kidnapped on Thursday, the organization said in a statement Saturday. El Roi, which runs a school and ministry in Port au Prince, said the two were taken from campus. Dorsainvil is the wife of the program’s director, Sandro Dorsainvil.
“Alix is a deeply compassionate and loving person who considers Haiti her home and the Haitian people her friends and family,” El Roi president and co-founder Jason Brown said in the statement. “Alix has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering as she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus.”
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement Saturday it is “aware of reports of the kidnapping of two U.S. citizens in Haiti,” adding, “We are in regular contact with Haitian authorities and will continue to work with them and our U.S. government interagency partners.”
In its advisory Thursday, the department said that “kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens.”
It said kidnappings often involve ransom negotiations and U.S. citizen victims have been physically harmed.
Earlier this month, the National Human Rights Defense Network issued a report warning about an upsurge in killings and kidnappings and the U.N. Security Council met to discuss Haiti’s worsening situation.
WMUR-TV reported that Dorsainvil is from Middleton, New Hampshire, and went to Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, which has a program to support nursing education in Haiti.
“It doesn’t surprise me that Alex chose to get involved in this type of service work,” Regis College president Toni Hays told the station. “She was amazing. She was passionate, she was compassionate.”

A bomb at a political rally in northwest Pakistan kills at least 35 people and wounds more than 100
KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — A powerful bomb ripped through a rally by supporters of a hard-line cleric and political leader in the country’s northwestern Bajur district that borders Afghanistan on Sunday, police and health officials said. At least 35 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded.
Senior police officer Nazir Khan said the workers convention of Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s Jamiat Ulema Islam party was taking place on the outskirts of Khar, the capital of Bajur district, when the explosion took place.
Initially, police said 10 people were killed but later more bodies were moved to a hospital bringing the death toll to 35. He said some of the wounded were taken to the city’s main hospital in critical condition and the death toll could increase.
Azam Khan, head of the emergency room at Khar’s main hospital, said 35 bodies were brought to the hospital and some wre taken back by relatives while the number of wounded was now more than 100 as those who earlier went to near small clinics for medical aid consequently brought to the main government hospital.
Government administrator Mohibullah Khan Yousufzai also said death toll rose to 35 and the number of wounded was well over 100. He said the serious wounded people were being airlifted to provincial capital, Peshawar, for better medical care.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group operates across the border in Afghanistan.
Maulana Ziaullah, the local chief of Rehman’s party, was among the dead. Senator Abdur Rasheed and former lawmaker Maulana Jamaluddin was also on the stage but escaped unhurt. Party officials said Rehman was not in the rally.
Rehman is considered to be a pro-Taliban cleric and his political party is part of the coalition government in Islamabad. It is not known whether Rehman was present. Meetings are being organized across the country to mobilize supporters for the coming elections.
Bajur, once used to be a tribal region but now a district, has been a safe haven for Islamic militants until recent years when Pakistani military carried out massive operations to eliminate militancy from the tribal region. Militants still strike attacking security forces and civilians often.

A boom in apartment construction is helping to curb rents but not all renters will benefit
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When viewed through a wide lens, renters across the U.S. finally appear to be getting some relief, thanks in part to the biggest apartment construction boom in decades.
Median rent rose just 0.5% in June, year over year, after falling in May for the first time since the pandemic hit the U.S. Some economists project U.S. rents will be down modestly this year after soaring nearly 25% over the past four years.
A closer look, however, shows the trend will likely be little comfort for many U.S. renters who’ve had to put an increasing share of their income toward their monthly payment. Renters in cities such as Cincinnati and Indianapolis are still getting hit with increases of 5% or more. Much of the new construction is located in just a few metro areas, and many of the new units are luxury apartments, which rent for well north of $2,000.
Median U.S. rent has risen to $2,029 this June from $1,629 in June 2019, according to rental listings company Rent, which tracks rents in 50 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas. Demand for apartments exploded during the pandemic as people who could work remotely sought more space or decided to relocate to another part of the country.
The steep rent increases have left tenants like Melissa Lombana, a high school teacher who lives in the South Florida city of Miramar, with progressively less income to spend on other needs.
The rent on her one-bedroom apartment jumped 13% last year to $1,700. It climbed another 6% to $1,800 this month when she renewed her lease.
“Even the $1,700 was a stretch for me,” said Lombana, 43, who supplements her teaching income with a side job doing educational testing. “In a year, I will not be able to afford living here at all.”
Lombana’s rent is now gobbling up nearly half her monthly income. That puts her in a category referred to as “cost-burdened” by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, denoting households that pay 30% or more of their income toward rent. Last year, the average rent-to-income ratio per household rose to 30%. This March, it was 29.6%.
Lombana hasn’t had any luck finding a more affordable apartment. While South Florida is one of the metropolitan areas seeing a rise in apartment construction, the units are mostly high-end and not a viable option.
That scenario is playing out across the nation. Developers are rushing to complete projects that were green-lit during the pandemic-era surge in demand for rentals or left in limbo by delays in supplies of fixtures and building materials. Nearly 1.1 million apartments are currently under construction, according to the commercial real estate tracker CoStar, a pace not seen since the 1970s.
Increasing the supply of apartments tends to moderate rent increases over time and can give tenants more options on where to live. But more than 40% of the new rentals to be completed this year will be concentrated in about 10 high job growth metropolitan areas, including Austin, Nashville, Denver, Atlanta and New York, according to Marcus & Millichap. In many areas, the boost to overall inventory will be barely noticeable.
Even within metros where there’ll be a notable increase in available apartments, such as Nashville, most of it will be in the luxury category, where rents average $2,270, nationally. Some 70% of the new rental inventory will be the luxury class, said Jay Lybik, national director of multifamily analytics at CoStar.
That will leave most tenants unlikely to see a big enough reduction in rent to make a difference, industry experts and economists say.
“I think we’re in a period of rent flattening for 12 or 18 months, but it’s certainly not a big rent decline,” said Hessam Nadji, CEO of commercial real estate firm Marcus & Millichap.
“We’re building a multi-decade record number of units,” Nadji said. “It’s going to cause some softening and some pockets of overbuilding, but it’s not going to fundamentally resolve the housing shortage or the affordability problem for renters across the U.S.”
The surge in rents has made it difficult for workers to keep up with inflation despite solid wage gains the past few years and exacerbated a long-term trend. Between 1999 and 2022, U.S. rents soared 135%, while income grew 77%, according to data from Moody’s Analytics.
Realtor.com is forecasting that rents will drop an average of 0.9% this year. But while down nationally, rents are still rising in many markets around the country, especially those where hiring remains robust.
In the New York metro area, the median rent climbed 4.7% in June from a year earlier to $2,899, according to Realtor.com. In the Midwest, rents surged 5.6% in the Cincinnati metro area to $1,188, and 6.9% to $1,350 in the Indianapolis metro area.
The current spike in apartment construction alone isn’t going to be enough to address how costly renting has become for many Americans.
“For the rest of the 2020s rents will continue to grow because millennials are such a big generation and we’re very much in the hole in terms of building housing for that generation,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin. “It will take many good years of new construction to build adequate housing for millennials.”
The bigger challenge is building more work force housing, because the cost of land, labor and navigating the government approval process incentivize developers to put up luxury apartments buildings.
Expanding the supply of modestly priced rentals would help alleviate the strain from so many new apartments targeting renters with high incomes, “although additional subsidies will be needed to make housing affordable to households with the lowest incomes,” researchers at Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies wrote in a recent report.
Despite the overall pullback in U.S. rents, Joey Di Girolamo, in Pembroke Pines, Florida, worries that he’ll face more sharp rent increases in coming years.
Last year, the web designer left a two-bedroom, two-bath townhome he rented for $2,200 a month to avoid a $600 a month increase. This year, his rent went up by $200, a nearly 10% jump.
“That blew me away,” said Di Girolamo, 50. “I’m just kind of dreading what it’s going to be like next year, but especially 3 or 4 years from now.”

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday night.
Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champ, has been seeking a contract extension before his rookie contract expires at the end of this season and he’s been one of several running backs to publicly air their grievances throughout the offseason.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the request hadn’t been made public. NFL Network first reported Taylor’s request to be traded.
It came shortly after Taylor left team owner Jim Irsay’s motorhome after a meeting that lasted nearly an hour as the Colts conducted a night practice.
“It was just a good conversation and, you know, hopeful going forward,” Irsay told reporters after practice. “We’re looking forward to a great season, hoping that Jonathan’s a big part of that and I think we had a good conversation.”
Taylor has not spoken with reporters since being placed on the physically unable to perform list Tuesday. General manager Chris Ballard said then the Colts wanted to wait for a new deal until they could see how a healthy Taylor fit the new offense installed by first-year coach Shane Steichen.
Taylor topped the 2,000-yard mark twice in college at Wisconsin and rushed for 2,980 yards and 29 TDs in his first two NFL seasons. He was a unanimous All-Pro selection in 2021, when he led the league with 2,171 total yards and tied for the league lead in total touchdowns with 20.
Last year, he rushed for 861 yards despite missing six games with an ankle injury that required offseason surgery. Indy also struggled, finishing the season 4-11-1.
Irsay posted on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday suggesting some player agents were acting in bad faith by complaining about how much running backs earned with a franchise tag designation after the collective bargaining agreement was negotiated in good faith. The $10.1 million price tag is the lowest of any position other than kickers or punters.
On Saturday, in front of a capacity crowd at Grand Park in Westfield a staff member took Taylor to the nearby motorhome. Irsay did not divulge details of the meeting afterward, but did talk about two other former Colts star runners — Marshall Faulk, who was traded after Peyton Manning’s rookie season in 1998, and Edgerrin James, who left as a free agent between the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
“I’m responsible for everyone on the team and to look at the cap money as you go forward,” Irsay said. “It’s a great responsibility and you try to be as fair as you possibly can be with the whole football team. So again, I’m hopeful.”
Now the Colts may be looking to move Taylor before he even gets a chance to team up rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in April.
“We need to make sure he (Taylor) is healthy, and we expect he should have an outstanding year,” Irsay said. “(Linebacker) E.J. Speed had the same surgery and is doing well, but it’s early in the process and we want to make sure Jonathan is 100%.”

US mother, daughter, reported kidnapped in Haiti, people warned not to travel there
(AP) - A woman from New Hampshire who works for a nonprofit organization in Haiti and her young daughter have been reported as kidnapped as the U.S. State Department issued a “do not travel advisory” in the country and ordered nonemergency personnel to leave there amid growing security concerns.
Alix Dorsainvil, a nurse for El Roi Haiti, and her daughter were kidnapped on Thursday, the organization said in a statement Saturday. El Roi, which runs a school and ministry in Port au Prince, said the two were taken from campus. Dorsainvil is the wife of the program’s director, Sandro Dorsainvil.
“Alix is a deeply compassionate and loving person who considers Haiti her home and the Haitian people her friends and family,” El Roi president and co-founder Jason Brown said in the statement. “Alix has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering as she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus.”
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement Saturday it is “aware of reports of the kidnapping of two U.S. citizens in Haiti,” adding, “We are in regular contact with Haitian authorities and will continue to work with them and our U.S. government interagency partners.”
In its advisory Thursday, the department said that “kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens.”
It said kidnappings often involve ransom negotiations and U.S. citizen victims have been physically harmed.
Earlier this month, the National Human Rights Defense Network issued a report warning about an upsurge in killings and kidnappings and the U.N. Security Council met to discuss Haiti’s worsening situation.
WMUR-TV reported that Dorsainvil is from Middleton, New Hampshire, and went to Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, which has a program to support nursing education in Haiti.
“It doesn’t surprise me that Alex chose to get involved in this type of service work,” Regis College president Toni Hays told the station. “She was amazing. She was passionate, she was compassionate.”

KHAR, Pakistan — A powerful bomb ripped through a rally by supporters of a hard-line cleric and political leader in the country's northwestern Bajur district that borders Afghanistan on Sunday, police and health officials said. At least 35 people were killed and more than 100 wounded.
Senior police officer Nazir Khan said the workers convention of Maulana Fazlur Rehman's Jamiat Ulema Islam party was taking place on the outskirts of Khar, the capital of Bajur district, when the explosion took place.
Initially police said 10 people were killed but later more bodies were moved to a hospital bringing the death toll to 35. He said some of the wounded were taken to the city's main hospital in critical condition and the death toll could increase.
Azam Khan, head of the emergency room at Khar's main hospital, said 35 bodies were brought to the hospital and some were taken back by relatives while the number of wounded was now more than 100 as those who earlier went to near small clinics for medical aid consequently brought to the main government hospital.
Government administrator Mohibullah Khan Yousufzai also said death toll rose to 35 and the number of wounded was well over 100. He said the serious wounded people were being airlifted to provincial capital, Peshawar, for better medical care.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group operates across the border in Afghanistan.
Maulana Ziaullah, the local chief of Rehman's party, was among the dead. Senator Abdur Rasheed and former lawmaker Maulana Jamaluddin was also on the stage but escaped unhurt. Party officials said Rehman was not in the rally.
Rehman is considered to be a pro-Taliban cleric and his political party is part of the coalition government in Islamabad. It is not known whether Rehman was present. Meetings are being organized across the country to mobilize supporters for the coming elections.
Bajur, once used to be a tribal region but now a district, has been a safe haven for Islamic militants until recent years when Pakistani military carried out massive operations to eliminate militancy from the tribal region. Militants still strike attacking security forces and civilians often.

This story was originally published by Chalkbeat Indiana.
At least 90% of the teaching staff directly impacted by Indianapolis Public Schools’ sweeping reorganization enacted last year will continue working in the district for the 2023-24 school year, the district said Thursday.
The staffing update from IPS showed that 300 staff affected by the school closures and mergers initiated by Rebuilding Stronger were placed elsewhere in the district. Most of the affected staff who got offers from the district to be placed in jobs for next year earlier than normal accepted those “Advanced Placement” offers, IPS said.
In addition, 109 teachers who were at Francis Parker Montessori School 56 and Paul Miller School 114, both of which closed at the end of the last school year, decided to make the switch to new schools with students. School 56 students are switching to James Russell Lowell Elementary, while School 114 students are now attending Frederick Douglass Elementary School 19.
As part of Rebuilding Stronger — which is the district’s effort to address dropping enrollment and address long-term fiscal challenges — IPS decided to close six schools, in addition to changing grade configurations at other schools and revamping academic offerings to make things like world languages and music more widely available. But these changes involve significant disruptions for staff.
The district decided to offer $10,000 stipends to teachers directly impacted by the changes, as well as $2,000 stipends to teachers indirectly impacted, like those who remain at the schools some of their colleagues must leave.
Sandy Bombick, the director of employment and operations for IPS, said at Thursday’s school board meeting that those bonuses were paid to impacted staff who met eligibility requirements. She also clarified that those retention bonuses were given for staff to remain at their schools through the end of the 2022-2023 school year.
The district also accelerated its typical timeline for identifying vacancies and working on staff placements, which allowed the district to be competitive with other potential employers.
IPS relied heavily on making sure it communicated well with staff through the process. The district’s strategies for communicating clearly included the formation of a Principal Advisory Board, which offered input on what they believed to be helpful in moving forward. In addition, impacted staff were met in person at their schools, and could share any questions or concerns that they had.
There is also a “Let’s Talk” option in the staff portal where teachers can research issues or submit inquiries.
“I think what’s key here is the cadence of communication, knowing that it was critical to keep open lines of communication through this,” Bombick said during her presentation to the school board.
Bombick also said the district plans to replicate this hiring and placement timeline going into the new school year and continue these communication strategies. She said despite the amount of change IPS is going through, she was “proud” of how the district had handled it.
Superintendent Aleesia Johnson said professional development has been and will continue to be offered to staff working with new instructional models or in new roles.
Of the more than 190 staff members who received Advanced Placement offers between December 5 and January 4 during the last school year, 114 accepted them. Seventy-seven chose to apply for new positions and go through the interview process all over again.
Roughly a week before the start of the school year on Monday, IPS reported there were 152 teaching vacancies, or a 12% classroom teaching vacancy rate. Bombick said staff leave the district for various reasons throughout the year, and cannot necessarily be linked to Rebuilding Stronger.

KHAR, Pakistan — A powerful bomb ripped through a rally by supporters of a hard-line cleric and political leader in the country's northwestern Bajur district that borders Afghanistan on Sunday, police and health officials said. At least 35 people were killed and more than 100 wounded.
Senior police officer Nazir Khan said the workers convention of Maulana Fazlur Rehman's Jamiat Ulema Islam party was taking place on the outskirts of Khar, the capital of Bajur district, when the explosion took place.
Initially police said 10 people were killed but later more bodies were moved to a hospital bringing the death toll to 35. He said some of the wounded were taken to the city's main hospital in critical condition and the death toll could increase.
Azam Khan, head of the emergency room at Khar's main hospital, said 35 bodies were brought to the hospital and some were taken back by relatives while the number of wounded was now more than 100 as those who earlier went to near small clinics for medical aid consequently brought to the main government hospital.
Government administrator Mohibullah Khan Yousufzai also said death toll rose to 35 and the number of wounded was well over 100. He said the serious wounded people were being airlifted to provincial capital, Peshawar, for better medical care.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group operates across the border in Afghanistan.
Maulana Ziaullah, the local chief of Rehman's party, was among the dead. Senator Abdur Rasheed and former lawmaker Maulana Jamaluddin was also on the stage but escaped unhurt. Party officials said Rehman was not in the rally.
Rehman is considered to be a pro-Taliban cleric and his political party is part of the coalition government in Islamabad. It is not known whether Rehman was present. Meetings are being organized across the country to mobilize supporters for the coming elections.
Bajur, once used to be a tribal region but now a district, has been a safe haven for Islamic militants until recent years when Pakistani military carried out massive operations to eliminate militancy from the tribal region. Militants still strike attacking security forces and civilians often.

A bomb at a political rally in northwest Pakistan kills at least 35 people and wounds more than 100
KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — A powerful bomb ripped through a rally by supporters of a hard-line cleric and political leader in the country’s northwestern Bajur district that borders Afghanistan on Sunday, police and health officials said. At least 35 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded.
Senior police officer Nazir Khan said the workers convention of Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s Jamiat Ulema Islam party was taking place on the outskirts of Khar, the capital of Bajur district, when the explosion took place.
Initially, police said 10 people were killed but later more bodies were moved to a hospital bringing the death toll to 35. He said some of the wounded were taken to the city’s main hospital in critical condition and the death toll could increase.
Azam Khan, head of the emergency room at Khar’s main hospital, said 35 bodies were brought to the hospital and some wre taken back by relatives while the number of wounded was now more than 100 as those who earlier went to near small clinics for medical aid consequently brought to the main government hospital.
Government administrator Mohibullah Khan Yousufzai also said death toll rose to 35 and the number of wounded was well over 100. He said the serious wounded people were being airlifted to provincial capital, Peshawar, for better medical care.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group operates across the border in Afghanistan.
Maulana Ziaullah, the local chief of Rehman’s party, was among the dead. Senator Abdur Rasheed and former lawmaker Maulana Jamaluddin was also on the stage but escaped unhurt. Party officials said Rehman was not in the rally.
Rehman is considered to be a pro-Taliban cleric and his political party is part of the coalition government in Islamabad. It is not known whether Rehman was present. Meetings are being organized across the country to mobilize supporters for the coming elections.
Bajur, once used to be a tribal region but now a district, has been a safe haven for Islamic militants until recent years when Pakistani military carried out massive operations to eliminate militancy from the tribal region. Militants still strike attacking security forces and civilians often.

US mother, daughter, reported kidnapped in Haiti, people warned not to travel there
(AP) - A woman from New Hampshire who works for a nonprofit organization in Haiti and her young daughter have been reported as kidnapped as the U.S. State Department issued a “do not travel advisory” in the country and ordered nonemergency personnel to leave there amid growing security concerns.
Alix Dorsainvil, a nurse for El Roi Haiti, and her daughter were kidnapped on Thursday, the organization said in a statement Saturday. El Roi, which runs a school and ministry in Port au Prince, said the two were taken from campus. Dorsainvil is the wife of the program’s director, Sandro Dorsainvil.
“Alix is a deeply compassionate and loving person who considers Haiti her home and the Haitian people her friends and family,” El Roi president and co-founder Jason Brown said in the statement. “Alix has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering as she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus.”
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement Saturday it is “aware of reports of the kidnapping of two U.S. citizens in Haiti,” adding, “We are in regular contact with Haitian authorities and will continue to work with them and our U.S. government interagency partners.”
In its advisory Thursday, the department said that “kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens.”
It said kidnappings often involve ransom negotiations and U.S. citizen victims have been physically harmed.
Earlier this month, the National Human Rights Defense Network issued a report warning about an upsurge in killings and kidnappings and the U.N. Security Council met to discuss Haiti’s worsening situation.
WMUR-TV reported that Dorsainvil is from Middleton, New Hampshire, and went to Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, which has a program to support nursing education in Haiti.
“It doesn’t surprise me that Alex chose to get involved in this type of service work,” Regis College president Toni Hays told the station. “She was amazing. She was passionate, she was compassionate.”

The filing period opens Monday for residents who want to file declarations of candidacy for Lawton City Council seats in Wards 6, 7 and 8.
And because of a special election scheduled by Gov. Kevin Stitt to fill the Oklahoma Senate District 32 seat, candidates will file their declarations for that office on the same three days.
The filing period is Monday through Wednesday, with candidates running for Lawton City Council to file at the Comanche County Election Board in the Comanche County Courthouse, Southwest 5th and Southwest C. Candidates filing for Senate District 32 will file their declarations at the Oklahoma State Election Board in Oklahoma City.
In Lawton, residents in the west and south Lawton Wards 6, 7 and 8 will select candidates to begin a new three-year term in January. Ward 8 Councilman Randy Warren has said he will not seek re-election. Ward 7 Councilwoman Onreka Johnson said she will file for a new term, while Ward 6 Councilman Bob Weger — named by the council in May to fill the unexpired term of former Ward 6 Councilman Sean Fortenbaugh — said he will file for his office.
Under the city charter, qualified council candidates must be registered voters at addresses within the ward they seek to represent for at least six months prior to filing their declarations of candidacy. In addition, those who have been convicted of a misdemeanor involving embezzlement or any felony, or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere are not eligible to run for office for a period of 15 years following completion of their sentence.
Declarations may be filed at the Comanche County Election Board from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. The primary election is scheduled for Sept. 12.
Lawton and area residents in Oklahoma Senate District 32 also will vote on a candidate to fill the unexpired term of Sen. John Michael Montgomery, R-Lawton. Montgomery will surrender the seat Aug. 1, the same day he officially begins his duties as president/CEO of the Lawton Fort Sill Chamber of Commerce. Montgomery was re-elected to his Senate seat in November, and the candidate chosen by voters in the Oct. 10 special election will complete that term.
Candidates for that race will file their declarations of candidacy with the Oklahoma Election Board in Oklahoma City. Candidates for Oklahoma Senate must be at least 25 years old, and must be qualified voters and live at an address within their district for at least six months prior to the first day of filing for office. They cannot have been convicted, pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or misdemeanors involving embezzlement for 15 years following completion of their sentences. | https://www.swoknews.com/community_news/filings-begin-monday-for-lawton-city-council-senate-district-32-seats/article_e7482f66-2655-5b8c-8ac4-32f6f98340e0.html | 2023-07-30T14:23:19 | 0 | https://www.swoknews.com/community_news/filings-begin-monday-for-lawton-city-council-senate-district-32-seats/article_e7482f66-2655-5b8c-8ac4-32f6f98340e0.html |

“Fair market value (FMV): The price that property would sell for on the open market. It is the price that would be agreed on between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with neither being required to act, and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.” Source: IRS Publication 561
This is the standard the IRS uses to determine if an item sold or donated by you is valued correctly for income tax purposes. It is a definition that is open to interpretation and if the IRS decides your opinion is wrong, you are not only subject to more taxes, but also penalties to boot. Here are some tips to help defend your fair market value in case of an audit.
Understand when it is used
FMV is used whenever there may be potential tax consequences when an item is bought, sold, or donated. The most common examples are:
• Buying or selling your home or other real estate
• Buying or selling personal property
• Buying or selling business property
• Establishing values of other business assets like inventory
• Valuing charitable donations of personal goods and property like automobiles
• Valuing the barter of services
• Valuing transfer of business ownership
• Valuing the assets in an estate of a deceased taxpayer
Ideas to defend your determination
To help defend your valuation, consider the following:
• Properly document donations. Non-cash charitable donations are an area that can easily be challenged by the IRS. Ensure your donated items are in either good or better condition. Properly document the items donated and keep copies of published valuations from charities like the Salvation Army. Don’t forget to ask for a receipt (confirmation) of your donations.
• Donate capital items like automobiles to the correct places. You may use the FMV of a donated automobile, but only if the charity you donate the item to will use it themselves, or will provide it to someone who will use it. Otherwise, the value of the donated vehicle will be limited to the amount the charity receives when they re-sell it. So be careful if donating to places like Kars4Kids or your donation value could be limited!
• Get an appraisal. If you sell a small business, a collection, artwork, or a capital asset, consider obtaining an independent appraisal of the property prior to selling it. While still open to interpretation by the IRS, a third-party appraisal can be a solid basis for defending any differences between your valuation and that of the IRS.
• Keep copies of similar items and transactions. This is especially important if you barter goods and services. If you have a copy of an advertisement for a similar item to the one you sold, it can readily support your claim of value.
• Take photos. The condition of an item is often a key determinate in establishing the correct value. It is fair to assume an item has wear and tear when you sell or donate it. Visual documentation can be used to support your claimed amount.
• Keep good records. Keep copies of invoices for major purchases. Retain bills for any improvements. Make sure your sale of property includes a dated bill of sale that clearly states transfer of ownership and the amount paid for the item.
With proper planning, establishing the fair market value of an item sold or donated can be done in a way that can be defended against a challenge from the IRS.

A June storm that caused millions of dollars in damage across Lawton is forcing Lawton Community Theatre to make a decision its board has been pondering for years: move out of the John Denney Playhouse.
The building in central Lawton’s Harmon Park has been LCT’s home since 1966, providing its cast and audience with an intimate setting that has been LCT’s hallmark for decades. But the roof damage caused by the June 15 storm’s hail and wind is too severe to allow the community theater to remain in the building, said LCT Director Chance Harmon. That means LCT’s plays will be moved to McMahon Auditorium this season, while Harmon is negotiating with Cameron University for space on campus for LCT’s office.
It’s not a departure Harmon and his board of directors take lightly or gladly, but it’s one that is necessary as the group begins ramping up for the 2023-2024 season. While the main portion of the theater’s roof is domed, there are flat portions on the roof’s west side and that is where the storm damage was most severe.
“One hundred and sixteen holes — that we can count,” Harmon said, of the hail that punched holes that, in turn, allowed water to flood into the building and through the ceiling onto the floor and items below. “The water is coming in from the flat part of the roof.”
In fact, it’s still flowing, as plastic tubs full of water show. While it hasn’t rained outside for almost two weeks, when it did, a lot of water collected above the ceilings and is still trickling inside into some of the theater’s work areas and breaking ceiling tiles.
Harmon said the damage could have been worse: the roof above the center part of the building, where the stage is located, is secure, and the stage now has become a storage area for items crucial to LCT. That includes its stage light fixtures (Harmon said one of the first things he did when he realized the extent of damage was have those lights taken down from the ceiling and stored in the dry stage area). While the work area behind the stage is ruined, the costuming area on the building’s south side is secure and costumes, footwear and sewing supplies are safe.
Along with the ruined ceiling and some ruined materials, the entire building smells of mold. And the office equipment was damaged beyond repair.
“The computers were fried,” Harmon said.
It’s not the first time LCT has faced challenges from water. The building has flooded more than once; when nearby Harmon Park floods, water frequently ends up inside John Denney Playhouse. But this damage is more widespread and is prompting Harmon and the board of directors to make plans for the season as LCT moves closer to its start date.
Changes have been made: LCT’s first play of the season, “The Odd Couple,” has been canceled. Harmon said that in its place are plans for a benefit event set for September, with details to be announced later.
Harmon hopes to have all the details of LCT’s temporary home nailed down soon.
He and board members have been negotiating with Cameron University, where President John McArthur is working to find space on campus for LCT offices. Plays this season will be held in McMahon Auditorium, a decision that mirrors what LCT did during the COVID-19 pandemic that made John Denney Playhouse too small to social distance. Harmon said McMahon’s board of trustees has said LCT can use the auditorium for the entire season, to include housing props, costumes and costume-making area.
“It gives us time,” he said. “Luckily, McMahon Auditorium is available and we can do it (the season) there this year. So, we’re externally grateful.”
In the meantime, LCT will continue searching for a permanent home, discussions that have included the former National Guard Armory on the north side of Elmer Thomas Park. Harmon said while John Denney Playhouse isn’t completely off the table, he has a preference.
“High on a hill,” he said with a laugh. | https://www.swoknews.com/news/storm-damage-forcing-lawton-community-theatre-to-move-out-of-john-denney-playhouse/article_f814ef9e-7009-593b-9907-f60d6cb1238c.html | 2023-07-30T14:23:49 | 1 | https://www.swoknews.com/news/storm-damage-forcing-lawton-community-theatre-to-move-out-of-john-denney-playhouse/article_f814ef9e-7009-593b-9907-f60d6cb1238c.html |

On Wednesday, July 26, 2023, with family gathered in a hospital room, the very setting where he spent the majority of his days grappling with medicine, Dr. John Wayne Flynn entered his heavenly home. Known for his keen medical advice and responsiveness, Doc devoted his life to the help and healing of countless citizens in Caddo county and beyond. Blessed with a large family of seven children, 17 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren, he and his wife Kathy of 24 years spent their days in their humble home in Regency, with hunting, fishing, farming, coin collecting, and Sooner sports to keep them busy.
Doc was born in Delco, North Carolina on April 23, 1949 as the fourth of eight children to Bennie and Mabel Flynn. Born into an impoverished and hardworking family, Doc committed his life to overcoming all odds placed in his way. While he was no stranger to hardship and poverty, it never resurfaced as he achieved awards, accolades, degrees, and more. He never expected a handout, hand up, or freebie. Doc would soon earn it all on his own.
He graduated high school in 1967 with a plan. He would be a doctor. He never set out to be just any doctor. He was going to be a doctor who lived and breathed for the healing of patients he would soon call friends. Doc single handedly put himself through LPN school at Western Oklahoma State in Altus and soon applied for medical school at the University of Oklahoma. Denied the first time, he was not held back but applied again and was accepted, beginning what would be the greatest and most fulfilling years of his life as he tackled medical school at the ripe “old age” of 28. The graduation ceremony in 1981 was the perfect picture of how Doc would continue to lead his life. Walking the stage on crutches from a hip surgery, he accepted his medical degree and started a new life for his family. It was the beginning of 40 plus years of medicine and daily living out the Hippocratic Oath...
“I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.” Hippocrates 400 BC
Dr. Roberson of Anadarko soon took Doc in under his wing and mentored him in small town medicine. He was a confidant, friend, and father figure that would forever impact his life and career. After several years of partnership with Dr. Roberson, Doc opened Flynn Family Care Clinic east of town and served the community for more than 25 years. Hours of operation were “suggested” as Doc would show up at the clinic anytime to see the patients who had now become his friends. Money and insurance didn’t matter. He had taken the Hippocratic Oath, and he meant it with all that was within him. Juggling family life and clinic life became a family business. His kids knew that “doctor” meant something more than just a piece a paper. It was more than a degree. He had a responsibility. He had taken an oath. He had answered a call. And they too ebbed and flowed with the demands placed on their father and husband as he fulfilled his many roles within the community. Always “on call” but never neglecting his family seemed to come naturally to the man who required little to no sleep and lived by the phrase “Nobody owes you a living”. He could do anything. He would do anything. He would do anything with his own mind and his own hands.
His skill level as a surgeon was second-to-none. He didn’t stop with just sewing up family members and friends. He even once operated on his own mangled hand using his less dominant hand. A steadier hand was rarely found as he taught precision to colleagues near and far. From his patients to his family members, he functioned best in generosity and service to whoever came to him. It was more than a job. It was his purpose in life to help others.
His service was never limited to his family clinic. Even after his clinic closed there was always so much work to be done, and so many young doctors and nurses to mentor and teach. Serving as the Medical Director for the Anadarko EMS, Medical Examiner for Caddo County, Medical Director for several emergency rooms across the state, and every house call and late-night office call in between, Doc served. “You don’t go home until it’s done” was a phrase he taught and lived in front of his community and family. Doc would never be out worked or out hustled, and he certainly wouldn’t allow his children to learn anything less. That hard work ethic was passed to each of them, with each child rejoicing in that gift even today.
His bride, Katherine, fell hard for this industrious and simple doctor. The fact that he took the time to teach those around him was what began their love story. As his “Right Hand Person” Doc and Kathy enjoyed a beautiful partnership as they worked together in medicine, raised children, doted on grandbabies, fished, and scaled deer stands together on cool Autumn mornings.
Remaining in that vein of, “You don’t go home until it’s done” seems perfectly fit. Doc didn’t go home until it was done. Well done, Doc. You truly lived the Hippocratic Oath. “I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.”
Those left to mourn the loss of such an exceptional life are his wife Kathy Flynn, children: Johnette Tripp and spouse Dickie, Ann Beaty, John Flynn II and spouse Jennifer, Michael Flynn and spouse Kaylee, Linda Reynolds, Heather Pritchett, and Tim Pritchett and spouse Jordan; plus many grandchildren, great grandchildren, siblings, nieces, and nephews.
Doc is preceded in death by his parents Bennie and Mabel, brother Tommy, sister Christine, nephew Harry and many other loved ones.
The Celebration of Doc’s life will be at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 31, 2023 at the First Baptist Church in Anadarko. The Rev. Lynn Bellamy will officiate. He will be laid to rest in the Memory Lane Cemetery. Funeral services are under the direction of Smith Funeral Home in Anadarko. | https://www.swoknews.com/obituaries/dr-john-wayne-flynn/article_5be440a2-1e78-5add-9661-98863aa12963.html | 2023-07-30T14:24:14 | 1 | https://www.swoknews.com/obituaries/dr-john-wayne-flynn/article_5be440a2-1e78-5add-9661-98863aa12963.html |

Hafnaoui, Finke battle in historic 1500m free

Alarm bells have been sounded regarding rising ocean temperatures and the perhaps permanent damage being inflicted on bony coral structures just off the coast in shallow oceans. In addition to the habitat coral reefs provide, they also help protect coastlines from storms and erosion.
Setting aside the politics of climate change and the human impact, I’m guessing we won’t know the full impact of losing a coral reef until it’s already gone.
I pondered that last week as I assessed the impact changes in my own little climate bubble: The newspaper industry.
Experts have similarly sounded alarm bells about “ghost newspapers”, “news deserts” and the purported impact on democracy and citizens when media entities — long under economic stress from a business climate change of epic proportions — are weakened to the point of failure. The tenuous situation puts some only days or weeks away from disappearing or being forced to change in dramatic, perhaps irreversible, fashion. Consider these:
•A recent issue of one nationally-known paper was reported to have zero ads in that day’s edition. I’ve written before that most newspapers generate 70 percent or so of their revenues off advertising. Using the current business model, no newspaper I know can print the paper and deliver it to customers based solely on subscription revenues.
•The Santa Barbara (CA) News Press went out of business last week after filing for bankruptcy. That paper was once my strongest competitor when I ran a small daily on the California Central Coast in the mid-90s. The paper ceased producing a printed product a month ago after a 150-year run and attempted to go online only, until an email to staff reported the paper had “stopped publishing. They ran out of money to pay us.”
•The LA Times recently reported it would no longer publish game stories, standings, box scores, TV listings or a daily sports calendar. It had already eliminated the reporter position tasked with covering local NHL and major league soccer teams. Part of their issue has to do with a deadline of 3 p.m. for the next day’s edition. The Times began shuttering its printing plant in 2022. Printing operations are expensive, but when you don’t print your own paper, you also lose control of your deadlines.
•The New York Times announced it was eliminating its sports department and will fill the gap with content it will purchase from The Athletic, coincidentally an operation owned by the Times.
As depressing as all that seems, it only emphasizes the critical need for the industry to adapt in a way so we can still fulfill our mission, and do it in a way readers will support. But that’s the challenge, isn’t it? I’d wager any or all of the situations above were grudgingly arrived at. And they’ll get an earful from lots of customers who’ll stop reading in protest.
Then, like the coast with the bleached coral, the erosion that will occur in the coming years will leave those communities wondering what happened.
A reader told me last week how upset she was about a particular mistake we’d made, following that with how invested she is in maintaining her tactile connection with the printed product. Readers like that understand the need — foibles and all — of supporting our little ecosystem.
Thank you for reading and supporting your local newspaper. It’s never been more critical. We just need more like you.

If you don’t like how decisions are made at the local or state level, you have the opportunity to change that this week.
That’s when the filing period opens for Lawton City Council Wards 6, 7 and 8. Elsewhere in today’s paper you will find a story detailing the qualifications of candidates and how and where to file for office and a city ward map.
Due to the resignation of Dist. 32 State Sen. John Michael Montgomery, that seat is open as well. Candidates for that seat also will file this week. Again, a story in today’s paper explains who is eligible to run and a map outlines the boundaries.
So far three candidates have announced intentions to file for the state Senate seat — Jennifer Ellis, JJ Francais and Dr. Jean Housheer — all of whom are Republicans.
We expected several candidates to file for Montgomery’s unexpired term. (Montgomery won re-election last November and has three years left on his term.) Hopefully, more than just those three will seek the seat.
To date, we have not heard of a Democrat or independent candidate, which is a shame. That means that only one party will choose the next District 32 senator. We really don’t care what party the next senator is registered under, but we do think a choice from more than one party is good in a democracy. Voters should have the opportunity to hear ideas from more than one political party. As it stands now, it is a given that the next senator will be a Republican, with registered Democrats and independents having no voice.
As far as the city goes, candidates must live in the ward in which they hope to represent constituents. Ward 7 representative Onreka Johnson has indicated she will file for re-election. Ward 6 representative Bob Weger, who was appointed earlier this year to fill an unexpired term, will run for a full term. And Ward 8 representative Randy Warren has indicated he will not seek re-election.
Again, we hope that several candidates file for the seats available. One hindrance to serving on the Lawton City Council is the time of the meetings. Since meetings have been changed to 2 p.m., it makes it difficult for working folks to hold office. As it is now, most of the council members are either retirees or small business owners. We dare say that the average age of the council is over 60.
And with meetings running six hours or more, that is a huge time commitment. Not too many employed people can take that much time off in the middle of the day to tend to the city’s business.
These factors limit younger voices with perhaps new ideas from serving on council. That is something we would like to see change. | https://www.swoknews.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-city-state-government-seats-open/article_901f9299-4ad7-52f3-97aa-78f37cecc3c9.html | 2023-07-30T14:24:45 | 0 | https://www.swoknews.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-city-state-government-seats-open/article_901f9299-4ad7-52f3-97aa-78f37cecc3c9.html |

The Southwest Shockers sent their coach out with a championship.
The 16U Shocker baseball team based in Altus won the Texas Wesleyan baseball tournament last Sunday, July 23. After two dominating wins in pool play, the Shockers beat the North Texas Gators 6-5 and USA Prime 13-2 to win the tournament.
“Yeah that was nice for us to go win something,” Shocker coach Michael Womack said. “It was a good way to end the summer.”
Womack, a former Cameron University pitcher, moved to Florida this week to take a job coaching 6A Forest High School in Ocala. Last week’s tournament was his last with the Shockers.
Texas Wesleyan University and a local high school hosted the tournament. Womack said he enjoyed watching his players find their groove in Dallas.
Dallas Sanchez, who pitches and hits for the Shockers, was a key part of his team’s success. Womack said if anyone deserves a tournament MVP award, it would be Sanchez.
“He pitched really well and he hit really well that tournament,” Womack said. “He pitched and hit it well. It was good for him to pitch well and hit well because, he as hitting good all year, but that tournament he hit great. And he was not pitching as well. He was struggling all summer except for like one other game early in the summer. He finally came out and threw three or four innings for us and threw it well.”
Ending his time with the Shockers with an undefeated tournament run was special for Womack.
“It was fun,” Womack said. “The boys had a lot of fun. I had fun coaching them. We just really enjoyed our time together being able to go win, compete and represent the Shockers the way they should be represented.” | https://www.swoknews.com/sports/16u-shockers-win-tournament-in-coachs-last-game/article_91e40612-6dd8-5713-b605-59cb28bdcc16.html | 2023-07-30T14:24:51 | 0 | https://www.swoknews.com/sports/16u-shockers-win-tournament-in-coachs-last-game/article_91e40612-6dd8-5713-b605-59cb28bdcc16.html |
Oftentimes when Lana K. Stamper has a few spare minutes, she will open her phone, scroll through Facebook and look for a life to save.
Stamper, her husband Donald, and daughter LaKayla Whitmore were participants at Grand National Horseman Association playday finals in Lawton last week. At first glance, it seems the horses the Stampers and Whitmore’s children rode were no different than those of other competitors.
But if Stamper hadn’t happened to sift kill pen websites in search of horses set to be repurposed, as the euphemism goes, the horses she and her family competed on last week would’ve likely been killed for meat and other byproducts.
“There’s all different types of horses (listed on kill pen websites),” Stamper said. “I’m constantly scrolling through and looking at the Facebook site and seeing what they have.”
Stamper estimates she and her husband have bought, worked with and saved 40 horses from kill pens in the past five years.
Whitmore said sourcing horses from the kill pens can be taboo among horse owners. And sure, there is risk. Divorce settlements, maintenance expenses and an owner’s fading interest can cause a well-behaved horse to be auctioned and sold to a kill pen. But erratic behavior, neglect and abuse can also be the impetus.
Not all kill pen horses work out. Whitmore estimates she has about a 50 percent success rate in rehabilitating horses for a new career.
“You’re saving them from turning into meat,” Whitmore said. “There’s some that are too wild to handle and there’s some that you can work with. Every one of them is gonna have their issues but you just see what you can work with.”
Finding a reputable kill pen is key. The good websites have videos and are transparent with the horse’s history, ailments and features. It is always easier to feel comfortable purchasing a horse that comes with its papers, but that is hit or miss.
“Kill pens, it always has a negative reputation,” Stamper said. “But it’s actually very positive. It’s a good place to find quality horses. Now, there’s some you’ve got to weed through.”
Tater is a success story.
Stamper bought the 8-year-old Shetland pony about a year-and-a-half ago.
The Stampers and Whitmore have land close together in Apache, where they bring horses purchased from the kill pens.
“What I do is take them home, ride them, rehabilitate,” Stamper said. “Sometimes they just need some simple veterinarian work. A little TLC, maybe a special set of shoes if their feet are sore, and they’re good reason horses.”
Whitmore will always work with an animal before letting her children ride it. But after working with Tater, Whitmore realized he would be great for her 3-year-old daughter Rustlynn Glass.
Glass competed on Tater all week.
Stamper said browsing kill pen websites and Facebook can be addicting. There are stories of $30,000 racehorses that grew old, or didn’t earn enough at the track, that would up in a kill pen slated to be sent to Mexico to be killed.
Stamper and Whitmore can turn a slight profit from horses they have rehabilitated and resold, but they said it is not about the money. They said their reward is seeing horses adapt to a new career and are loved again.
“They’re not going to be perfectly sound horses,” Whitmore said. “They’re going to need a lot of work, and a lot of TLC. But they have a chance. It’s all about giving them a chance.” | https://www.swoknews.com/sports/families-give-kill-pen-horses-second-chance-at-life/article_37b5517b-ef14-5f7a-9b37-ac3dab2f2ddd.html | 2023-07-30T14:24:57 | 1 | https://www.swoknews.com/sports/families-give-kill-pen-horses-second-chance-at-life/article_37b5517b-ef14-5f7a-9b37-ac3dab2f2ddd.html |
