All of the Carroll County-specific bills introduced by the county delegation to the Maryland General Assembly passed during the 2022 session, which adjourned earlier this week. Two statewide bills proposed by Del. Haven Shoemaker, a Republican representing Carroll County, did not.
The approved Carroll County bills included legislation that will prevent the Carroll County state’s attorney from operating a private practice while in office. Shoemaker, a two-term state delegate who is running for state’s attorney in this year’s election, introduced the bill late last year.
Shoemaker’s only opponent, David Ellin, is a medical malpractice attorney who has run a private practice in Carroll County since 2004.
Shoemaker said there are only three counties in the state that don’t expressly forbid their state’s attorney from engaging in private practice on the side, including Carroll, Baltimore City and Garrett County.
Ellin, also a Republican, said he believes Shoemaker filed the bill with ulterior motives.
“It’s very obvious to me he did this simply to discourage me from running. ... but it certainly won’t deter me,” Ellin said.
Sen. Justin Ready, a Carroll County Republican, said the bill codifies existing practices, as 21 other counties in the state have similar laws.
Shoemaker said the failure of the two statewide bills he proposed is “an example of the criminal-coddling nature of the General Assembly.”
One focused on protecting young athletes and enforcing safety measures to ensure coaches and volunteers are properly vetted before being allowed to work with young people.
Under the bill, coaches and volunteers in Maryland would have been required to receive a clearance indicating that they have never been convicted of child abuse in any form. The bill also would have created a central repository for Maryland coaches to ensure that prior coaching history is checked before an individual is hired as a youth sports coach.
The second piece of legislation would have restricted registered sex offenders from working in any way to provide child care or babysitting. This legislation aims to address what Carroll County Sheriff Jim DeWees and Shoemaker referred to as a loophole in Maryland law, related to a February 2021 complaint to the sheriff’s office.
Though existing state law “prohibits a registered sex offender from working in day care centers, or even being on day care property in most circumstances, the law is not clear about someone running babysitting services out of their own home or property,” according to the sheriff’s office.
“The Maryland General Assembly did nothing in terms of getting tough on crime,” Shoemaker said.
Two other county-sponsored bills that passed will raise county commissioner salaries from $45,000 to $50,000, and school board member salaries from $8,000 to $12,000 ($13,000 for the board chair).
Another approved bill authorizes the Department of Human Resources in Carroll County to request a background check for anyone working with the county.
Ready said some members of the legislature claimed that bill’s original language prevented individuals with a criminal record from getting a county government job. It was amended to clarify it would only involve employees who would provide inspections, approve or deny permits, work in the offices of the county commissioners, sheriff, circuit court or court attorney or those collecting money.
Another approved law will alter the number of weekly drawings allowed in a multi-drawing raffle that certain organizations in Carroll County may conduct. It raises the number of weekly drawings allowed from 30 to 52.
This bill was introduced by Shoemaker and Del. April Rose, another Republican representing Carroll County, on behalf of local fire companies. The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe effect on fire company fundraising efforts, and this bill will allow them to recoup some of the revenue that has been lost during the past two years, the lawmakers said.
Del. Susan Krebs, a Carroll County Republican, pointed out that the delegation was able to bring home a lot of financial resources to the county this year.
“It’s been a very good budget year for everyone,” she said. “Overall I’m pleased with it.”
A massive state budget surplus meant lawmakers of both parties could join with Republican Gov. Larry Hogan to temporarily suspend the gas tax as fuel prices surged and also to provide some tax relief for retirees and parents of young children as economic confidence slumps. The surplus is the product of a surge in federal spending and a faster-than-expected rebound in sales and income tax revenue after the COVID-19-induced recession.
Carroll County Breaking News
“I’m pleased we made some small steps in the right direction for tax relief but with such a big budget surplus these are modest steps,” Krebs said. “This is a fraction of the money we could have given back” given the state’s record $7.6 billion budget surplus.
Shoemaker agreed some tax relief was provided this session, but said the General Assembly “wound up throwing a few crumbs to folks.”
The Carroll County delegation secured $85 million in funding for a series of important community projects ranging from improving water quality and overall quality of life to renovations and improvements to educational buildings throughout the county.
Some highlights of Carroll projects that will receive capital funds include $63.2 million for a new State Veterans Home; $6.7 million for Carroll’s Career and Tech Center; $3.2 million for a Carroll Community College renovation; $3.4 million for the New Windsor Wastewater Treatment Plant enhanced nutrient removal upgrade; and $3 million for a new law enforcement building.
The delegation also secured $10 million in Carroll County infrastructure projects in Hogan’s supplemental budget, including $5 million for Union Bridge to upgrade its sewer plant and move it out of a flood plain; $4 million for New Windsor to replace its 115-year-old water main; and $1 million for Carroll County piping infrastructure and the expansion of the water treatment process at the Fairhaven and Raincliffe water treatment plants.
“These projects meet immediate needs in our community for water infrastructure. I appreciate Gov. Hogan and his administration working with us to include these projects in the supplemental budget,” Ready stated. “This is on top of a lot of help our county received in the initial capital budget.”
Several Carroll County bond initiatives passed this session as well, providing funding for an American Legion Post 223 building repair, building upgrades to help the Carroll County Veteran Independence Project to house homeless veterans, and playgrounds at Westminster and Hampstead elementary schools.

If the past two seasons are any indication, horseshoes shouldn’t be limited to the hooves at thoroughbreds at Fort Erie Race Track these days.
With less than two months before opening day, a few strategically placed throughout the grandstand and in the administration offices — open end up, of course — couldn’t hurt. Who knows, the added luck might increase the track’s chances to run a season “fully open” to fans for the first time since 2019.
Horses started training this week and the mood along the backstretch is hopeful heading into the 125th season of live racing. Horsepeople are happy to be back and are looking forward to a return to pre-pandemic normalcy.
“It’s been a long, cold, hard winter and we’re excited to get this year started,” said Julie Mathes, a 23-time winner in 2021 and the track’s leading trainer for the past two seasons.
Fellow trainer Gary Chudobiak also is optimistic as he continues to get horses race-ready for the season opener on Tuesday, May 31.
“We’re happy to be back and happy that restrictions are being lifted for the sake of the industry,” he said. “I hope everyone stays safe and healthy, and we have a normal season with fans and events so that our industry can thrive.”
Drew Cady, general manager of Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium, said the track is looking forward to “getting back to normal while still maintaining a safe environment for everyone.”
“At this time we are planning for a season fully open to all fans, and we’re hoping the public health guidelines will allow it to stay that way,” he said. “We’ve missed having special events and being fully open to our loyal fans.”
Thanks to off-site wagering, horse racing in Ontario was able to weather the storm caused by the pandemic.
In 2020, betting at Fort Erie was up by about 40 per cent on a per-race basis and the track enjoyed a record year in terms of betting. A total of $40.2 million was wagered over 39 days, up from $29.9 million over 40 days in 2019, the last pre-pandemic year.
Fort Erie hosted 39 race days in 2021 and finished the meeting with $28.6 million in wagering.
Cady isn’t worried fans will continue to stay home after two years of limited and, at times, no attendance.
“After two seasons without fans and events, we are hearing that a lot of people are eager to get back to racing this season, and we look forward to hosting them,” he said.
A track that again will be fully open to fans will allow the operation to return to pre-pandemic employment levels. Fort Erie employs about 180 people during the racing season, not including those working on the backstretch.
“We plan to bring back the same number of staff this year that we had prior to the pandemic,” Cady said. “We were fortunate to be able to operate live racing during the pandemic — even without fans — which allowed us to bring back the majority of our employees.
“Unfortunately, most of our food and beverage and mutuel employees were affected, as their positions are dependent on having customers in attendance.”
About 350 horses are expected to be stabled along the backstretch in 2022, which is comparable to recent years.
Opening day will be highlighted by an anniversary T-shirt giveaway to the first 2,000 fans who purchase a program. Jonesy will provide a free concert from the Tiki Bar stage after the conclusion of the race program.
Live racing will run primarily Mondays and Tuesdays from May 31 to Oct. 18 with some Sundays, including Father’s Day on June 19.
This season will see the return of many family-favourite events, including wiener dog races on Sunday, July 17, and basset hound races on Sunday, Aug. 14.
The 87th Prince of Wales Stakes, the second jewel in Canadian thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown and the track’s signature event, is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 13.
Admission and parking are free.
More information about the track’s upcoming season can be found at www.FortErieRacing.com.

A blind man walked these parts in the early days of immigration. From the family farm in Oakland to Christiana Post Office, then situated at the south end of Water Street in Rockdale, he made the trek unassisted, except for a keen mind, an incredible memory, and a walking stick.
Born in Norway in 1843, Henry Hendrickson became blind at six months with a wasting fever, and was given up for dead until his eyelids fluttered in the coffin. At age four, he sailed with his family from Valders to America, via steamer to Milwaukee, then trekked overland to their 200-acre farm a few miles southeast of Rockdale.
The tale had been lost to the ages, until his book, self-published in 1879, came to light in recent years. The first half of his truly remarkable life is told in “Out From The Darkness, An Autobiography: Unfolding The Life Story And Singular Vicissitudes Of A Scandinavian Bartimaeus.”
On the farm, his childhood foibles would match the best stories of normally abled boys. Told to stay away from the well, he fell in, forty feet down. Not liking one of the farmhands pitching hay, he crawled into the stack, poked the man in the leg with a knitting needle then crawled back in, several times. On a walk to Rockdale for mail, he tripped over a cow lying in the path, fell astride her back, and went for a wild ride unit she tripped in a ditch and pitched Henry face-first into a gravel pit.
But education was lacking, with Henry not speaking English, the nearest school over two miles away, and no teachers to meet his needs. Instead he relied on an older sister to guide him – and prepare him to grow into a well-educated blind man. At age seven, Henry entered the school for the blind at Janesville. At age 17 in 1861, he graduated early to begin a successful life making and selling high-quality corn brooms, a skill he learned at the school.
His business ventures began with his first crop of broom corn, a type of sorghum, at Hillside, south of Rockdale, and ranged to shops in Fort Atkinson, St. Louis, Chicago, and LaCrosse. There he married Walborg, the daughter of “one of the most extensive dry-goods merchants in Christiania” (Oslo). Travels included Milwaukee, New York, and several return trips to Christiana, Oakland, and Albion, where he raised four daughters in “our little academy” on the shore of Rice Lake.
His book recounts in great detail his ups and downs, struggles and successes, a spiritual awakening and conversion to Christianity, and most importantly, his sharp observations, deep insight into humanity, wise philosophical renderings, and “sight” as a blind man – “I seem to live in unvarying brightness.” Later volumes would portray his far-reaching travels to give lectures on success as an educated blind man.
Henry’s presence lives on in the greater Rockdale area. His parents Ole and Guri Hendrickson and a sister Julia are buried behind the upper church at East Koshkonong, where his father and six other men built the stone church that replaced the first log building. Another sister Rachel and her husband are buried in Rockdale, where Hendrickson descendants are active in the church.
And his great friend and mentor, Rasmus Bjorn Anderson, is memorialized on a stone monument in the center of the village.

MATTOON — Daisy Lane Scrapbooking & Craft Store has been a place that customers, often from far afield, have turned to for help preserving their memories and creating heirlooms for 22 years now.
Sisters Karen Briles and Mary Sims, both of Windsor, and their family also have created many great memories of their own while running the store, serving countless customers, and hosting a full schedule of workshops there. They have begun saying a fond farewell to their extended family of customers and staff in recent weeks while preparing to close Daisy Lane sometime this summer.
"It's very sad. It's very bittersweet," Briles said of ending their time at Daisy Lane, 2619 Lake Land Boulevard.
Sims said the store closure will enable them to spend more time helping care for their mother, Daisy Lane co-founder Cindy Bauer, and helping her stay at home as long as possible while her dementia worsens.
Bauer, a longtime crafter and consignment vendor, teamed with her daughters to purchase Daisy Lane in 2000 when it was located in a small storefront in Effingham. They moved the store in 2003 into the 12,000-square-foot building at 2619 Lake Land Boulevard. They eventually filled this cavernous space with craft booths from more than 40 consignment vendors, plus Daisy Lane's own merchandise.
While Briles has worked with the scrapbook and paper crafting side of Daisy Lane, Sims has focused on bookkeeping and other work behind the scenes in the office.
The two sisters said their grandmother, Marie Harrison, helped at Daisy Lane until she was in her upper 90s and their own children also assisted part time over the years at the store. They said it was not uncommon for four generations of their family to be working alongside each other there. The store even had its own childcare area for the family and their customers in its early years.
Daisy Lane adjoins Bauer Auction Service, which is operated by the sisters' father, Don, and brother, Hank. Briles said being able to spend time with them and get their assistance with chores at the store has been a blessing.
"It really brought us closer," Briles said.
Bauer Auction Service will remain in operation after Daisy Lane closes. The store is holding scheduled craft workshops through May and discounting its remaining merchandise prior to closing. The store still has consignment booths for 15 vendors on hand. Briles said they had hoped to find a buyer to continue operating Daisy Lane but were unable to get one.
Sims and Briles said the craft workshops held by various presenters have drawn customers from hours away, and some attendees stay overnight in Mattoon for the multi-day classes. They said Daisy Lane's final workshops have drawn a lot of interest from past participants, so they have been taking down pegboard walls to accommodate additional attendance.
Daisy Lane also has developed a customer following across the country via its website and Facebook page, Briles said. This following grew during the COVID-19 pandemic as more people started making crafts at home, she said.
"Some of our best customers have never stepped foot in the store," Briles said.
While leaving Daisy Lane will be sad, Briles and Sims said they will be happy to spend more time with their own families and pursue other interests. They both noted that they have professional backgrounds in childcare and look forward to seeing what direction God will guide them in next.
"I think we will miss this place severely, but I don't think we will regret being done at this point," Briles said.

Alec Bohm says ‘I f–king hate this place’ after Phillies fans’ sarcastic cheer
Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm said he let his emotions get the best of him when he dropped an F-bomb in Philadelphia’s 5-4 comeback win against the Mets on Monday.
After the game, Bohm apologized for being caught on camera saying, “I f–king hate this place” to Phillies teammate Didi Gregorius, apparently referring to Philadelphia.
Bohm appeared frustrated after hearing sarcastic cheers from fans at Citizens Bank Park, when he made a routine play at third at the top of the second. The taunting came after he committed two throwing errors.
Cameras captured a closeup of Bohm during the heated moment, which he was asked about after the game.
“Look, emotions got the best of me. I said it. Do I mean it? No,” Bohm told reporters. “It’s a frustrating night for me, obviously. Made a few mistakes in the field.
“Look, these people, these fans, they just want to win. You heard it, we come back, they’re great. I’m just sorry to them. I don’t mean that and emotions just got the best of me.”
When asked by a reporter, “So you actually love this place?” Bohm smiled and said, “You know what, yeah I do.”
Phillies manager Joe Girardi said, “I think it’s a kid that was frustrated. I don’t think that kid was referring to, you know, the city of Philadelphia, the fans. I think he was referring to the situation he was in.
“Put yourself in his shoes. That’s got to be a tough place. I told him I’ve been there. I’ve had three passed balls. I’ve had passed balls to lose a game. In that situation, you hate everything. Think about what he was feeling. It’s not a fun situation.”
Bohm made three errors at third base in the first three innings. His first occurred when he charged a ball that bounced off Ranger Suarez’s glove and threw wildly to right field.
His second error in the second inning was on a routine grounder that he threw over first baseman Rhys Hoskins and into foul territory. Bohm’s third error was a throw that forced Hoskins off the bag.
Bohm’s struggles came at a time when he’s fighting for the third base job over rookie Bryson Stott. The 25-year-old Bohm was selected by the Phillies with the third pick in the 2018 draft out of Wichita State University and was considered one of the jewels of the Phillies farm system before his arrival in the big leagues.
Before Monday’s win over the Mets, Girardi said he decided to start Bohm over Scott because of previous success against Mets starter Taijuan Walker.
“He’s had success off of Walker. And as I said, they’re both going to play. I think it’s important they both play,” Girardi said.
The Phillies trailed 4-0 before they scored five runs in the eighth against two Mets relievers for a stunning comeback.
Philadelphia plays host to the Mets Tuesday and Wednesday to complete a three-game series between the NL East rivals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Western weaponry pouring into Ukraine helped blunt Russia’s initial offensive and seems certain to play a central role in the approaching, potentially decisive, battle for Ukraine’s contested Donbas region. Yet the Russian military is making little headway halting what has become a historic arms express.
The U.S. numbers alone are mounting: more than 12,000 weapons designed to defeat armored vehicles, some 1,400 shoulder-fired Stinger missiles to shoot down aircraft and more than 50 million rounds of ammunition, among many other things. Dozens of other nations are adding to the totals.
The Biden administration is preparing yet another, more diverse, package of military support possibly totaling $750 million to be announced in the coming days, a senior U.S. defense official said Tuesday. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans not yet publicly announced. The additional aid is a sign that the administration intends to continue expanding its support for Ukraine’s war effort.
These armaments have helped an under-gunned Ukrainian military defy predictions that it would be quickly overrun by Russia. They explain in part why Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army gave up, at least for now, its attempt to capture Kyiv, the capital, and has narrowed its focus to battling for eastern and southern Ukraine.
U.S. officials and analysts offer numerous explanations for why the Russians have had so little success interdicting Western arms moving overland from neighboring countries, including Poland. Among the likely reasons: Russia’s failure to win full control of Ukraine’s skies has limited its use of air power. Also, the Russians have struggled to deliver weapons and supplies to their own troops in Ukraine.
Some say Moscow’s problem begins at home.
“The short answer to the question is that they are an epically incompetent army badly led from the very top,” said James Stavridis, a retired U.S. Navy admiral who was the top NATO commander in Europe from 2009 to 2013.
The Russians also face practical obstacles. Robert G. Bell, a longtime NATO official and now a professor at the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech University, said the shipments lend themselves to being hidden or disguised in ways that can make them elusive to the Russians — “short of having a network of espionage on the scene” to pinpoint the convoys’ movements.
“It’s not as easy to stop this assistance flow as it might seem,” said Stephen Biddle, a professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University. “Things like ammunition and shoulder-fired missiles can be transported in trucks that look just like any other commercial truck. And the trucks carrying the munitions the Russians want to interdict are just a small part of a much larger flow of goods and commerce moving around in Poland and Ukraine and across the border.
“So the Russians have to find the needle in this very big haystack to destroy the weapons and ammo they’re after and not waste scarce munitions on trucks full of printer paper or baby diapers or who knows what.”
Even with this Western assistance it’s uncertain whether Ukraine will ultimately prevail against a bigger Russian force. The Biden administration has drawn the line at committing U.S. troops to the fight. It has opted instead to orchestrate international condemnation and economic sanctions, provide intelligence information, bolster NATO’s eastern flank to deter a wider war with Russia and donate weapons.
In mid-March, a Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, said arms shipments would be targeted.
“We warned the United States that pumping weapons into Ukraine from a number of countries as it has orchestrated isn’t just a dangerous move but an action that turns the respective convoys into legitimate targets,” he said in televised remarks.
But thus far the Russians appear not to have put a high priority on arms interdiction, perhaps because their air force is leery of flying into Ukraine’s air defenses to search out and attack supply convoys on the move. They have struck fixed sites like arms depots and fuel storage locations, but to limited effect.
On Monday, the Russians said they destroyed four S-300 surface-to-air missile launchers that had been given to Ukraine by an unspecified European country. Slovakia, a NATO member that shares a border with Ukraine, donated just such a system last week but denied it had been destroyed. On Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense said long-range missiles were used to hit two Ukrainian ammo depots.
As the fighting intensifies in the Donbas and perhaps along the coastal corridor to the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula, Putin may feel compelled to strike harder at the arms pipeline, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called vital to his nation’s survival.
In the meantime, a staggering volume and range of war materiel is arriving almost daily.
“The scope and speed of our support to meeting Ukraine’s defense needs are unprecedented in modern times,” said John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary. He said the approximately $2.5 billion in weapons and other material that has been offered to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration is equivalent to more than half of Ukraine’s normal defense budget.
One example: The Pentagon says it has provided more than 5,000 Javelin missiles, which are among the world’s most effective weapons against tanks and other armored vehicles — and can even take down a low-flying helicopter. The missile, shaped like a clunky dumb bell and weighing 50 pounds (23 kilograms), is fired by an individual soldier; from its launch tube it flies up at a steep angle and descends directly onto its target in what its known as a curveball shot — hitting the top of a tank where its armor is weakest.
The Pentagon said Wednesday that an unspecified number of additional Javelins are to be delivered by Thursday, and the U.S. will complete the delivery of 100 armed Switchblade “kamikaze” drones this week.
The specific routes used to move the U.S. and other Western materials into Ukraine are secret for security reasons, but the basic process is not. Just this week, two U.S. military cargo planes arrived in Eastern Europe with items ranging from machine guns and small arms ammunition to body armor and grenades, the Pentagon said.
A similar load is due later this week to complete delivery of $800 million in assistance approved by President Joe Biden just one month ago. The weapons and equipment are offloaded, moved onto trucks and driven into Ukraine by Ukrainian soldiers for delivery.
Kirby said the material sometimes reaches troops in the field within 48 hours of entering Ukraine.

BEIJING (AP) — Shanghai released 6,000 more people from the central facilities where they were under medical observation to guard against the coronavirus, the government said Wednesday, though the lockdown of most of China’s largest city was continuing in its third week.
About 6.6 million people in the city of 25 million were allowed to leave their homes Tuesday, but some were restricted to their own neighborhoods. Some housing compounds also appeared to still be keeping residents locked inside, and no further lifting of restrictions was apparent Wednesday.
Officials warn that Shanghai still doesn’t have its latest surge in cases of the omicron variant under control, despite its “zero-tolerance” approach that has seen some residents confined to their homes for three weeks or longer.
China also requires anyone who tests positive or is a close contact of such a person to spend at least a week in centralized observation centers in pre-fabricated buildings or gymnasiums and exhibition halls to limit the spread of the virus.
The city’s health bureau said Wednesday that 6,044 people had been allowed the day before to leave observation centers and return home, although health monitoring will continue.
The number of newly detected daily cases in the city edged upward to 26,338, all but 1,189 of them in people showing no symptoms. With more than 200,000 total cases, the ongoing outbreak is China’s biggest of the pandemic. But the mass testing has caught many asymptomatic cases, and no deaths have been reported in Shanghai.
The lockdown has led to frustration among residents in Shanghai about running out of food and being unable to get deliveries. Censors have diligently scrubbed such material from social media, while state-controlled outlets describe a successful campaign to provide food and other supplies and counseled residents that “persistence is victory.”
Shanghai is also home to China’s busiest port and main stock market, and concerns have been rising about the lockdown’s economic impact.
Figures released Wednesday showed China’s exports rose 15.7% in March over a year earlier while imports were flat due to disruptions from coronavirus outbreaks.
Customs data show exports rose to $276.1 billion despite anti-virus controls in Shanghai and other industrial centers that caused factories to reduce output.

ATLANTA — Did the Hawks try and derail the Hornets' arrival to the arena?
It seems that Charlotte thinks so.
The Hornets' arrival to the State Farm Arena for Wednesday night's NBA Play-In game was delayed 15 minutes because a train stopped in front of the team bus.
"In my 20 years I've never seen that train stop," coach James Borrego said. "I've been coming to this arena for 20 years and I've never seen a train stop before the game."
The stopped train was very close to the arena and Borrego indicated the delay bothered the Hornets players.
"Our guys noticed," he said. "It's good fuel for us."
Charlotte is the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference and facing ninth-seeded Atlanta.
The winner will travel to Cleveland on Friday night for a second Play-In game.
Whichever team wins Friday night will be the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and would face top-seeded Miami.

Data Counters Sentiment Surveys that say Spending is Weakening
NEW YORK, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bank of America Institute published a new article today which provides evidence that consumers' finances, particularly of those in lower-income groups, are holding up, contrary to findings of sentiment surveys about the impact of higher prices.
Citing strong growth in credit and debit card spending – up 11% year over year in March, and continued strength into April – as well as a booming labor market and elevated cash levels in checking and savings accounts, the data shows that lower-income consumers are not reacting to this inflationary environment as adversely as one might gather from reports.
Highlights of the publication:
- Aggregate Bank of America credit and debit card spending was up 15% in the first eight days of April compared to the same period in 2021.
- Among cardholders with less than $50,000 in annual income, card spending per household is up 33.3% in early April compared to the same time period in 2019.
- Bank of America ACH, Wire and P2P payments were up 26% in the first eight days of April year over year.
- Checking and savings balances of households with less than $50,000 annual income have at least $1,500 more than they started in 2019.
"While sentiment surveys show that consumers are inclined to cut back in response to higher prices, people don't always do what they say they are doing," said David Tinsley, senior economist for the Bank of America Institute. "Leveraging the breadth and depth of our comprehensive payments and spending data from 67 million consumer and small business clients, we are able to get a richer and deeper assessment of the consumer than small-scale surveys can ever achieve. Our data does not support all the gloom."

Gang of 6 robs him of phone, cash; victim says feeling unsafe in Pune
By Gunwanti Paraste
Known for its busy night life, Baner witnessed a robbery in the early hours of Wednesday — taking the police by surprise, since its patrol team is always on its toes in the upmarket area. A gang of six robbers accosted Saurabh Gangane (21), a third-year BA student — who works as a part-time delivery agent for a food app, at 2.20 am. The criminals robbed the youth after attacking him with a sharp weapon and also snatched his two-wheeler key before fleeing on their bikes.
“I am feeling unsafe in Pune now. When I returned after food delivery, six unknown people enquired about an address and suddenly attacked me in an isolated area in Baner. They snatched my mobile phone, wallet containing Rs 1,700 and my bike keys. I was injured and raised an alarm, but nobody was there to help me,” Saurabh told Mirror.
Senior police inspector Rajkumar Wagchware of the Chatushrungi police station said the gang involved in the robbery would be arrested soon. “We have registered a case against the unidentified suspects under IPC sections 394 (robbery), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and the Arms Act. Our team is investigating the case and the criminals will be rounded up,” he added
Deputy commissioner of police Rohidas Pawar expressed surprise at the robbery and said the police conduct regular patrolling in Baner and Balewadi area.
This incident happened at the Nimkar College hostel, near Balewadi, Gate no 2. The complainant was going to his room, when the six criminals stopped him and asked the way to Chikhali. They suddenly attacked him with a sharp knife when he was telling them the address. One of the criminals took the wallet from his pocket, snatched the mobile phone and the bag, besides the bike key.
“ I have been working as a delivery boy in Hinjawadi, Wakad and Balewadi areas for one-and-a-half years. The duty hours are from noon to 6pm and 7 pm to 3 am. I delivered food at Balewadi and was going to Wakad on my bike. When I reached Nimkar College, two bikes crossed me. I was riding slowly. I reached the college’s gate no 2. One of the men asked me to stop and enquired about the way to Chikhali. They attacked and robbed me soon after that.”
The victim said he requested a security guard to give him the mobile phone to call the police. The guard was initially hesitant to help as he was scared, but he called a person, who came and called the police, who arrived within 10 minutes.

Private rents in Britain rose at record rate in past year, figures show
Swansea and Manchester up more than 19%, with average rise outside London in double digits for first time
Private rents in Britain are rising at a record rate, research has found, jumping 14% in a year in London and by more than 19% in hotspots such as Manchester, piling yet more pressure on already strained household budgets.
The average advertised rent outside London is 10.8% higher than a year ago as tenants grappled with “the most competitive rental market ever recorded”, said the property website Rightmove.
This is the first time the average annual growth outside the capital has exceeded 10%, increasing average rent to a record £1,088 a month – up from £982 a year ago.
In London, which temporarily fell out of favour with renters earlier on in the pandemic, the average asking rent hit a record £2,193 a month – up 14.3%, or £274, on a year ago. Rightmove said this was “the biggest annual jump of any region since records began”.
The property site said demand was greatly exceeding supply, with prospective tenants outnumbering available rental properties by more than three to one.
This has been blamed on a number of factors, some pandemic-related, with many tenants continuing to re-evaluate what they want from a home and how close they need to live to work. Rightmove said it was also hearing from agents and landlords that tenants were signing longer leases, which was preventing some of the stock that would normally come back on to the market from doing so.
Soaring house prices have meant many would-be homebuyers have had to stay in rented accommodation for longer, while many landlords who were originally attracted by the buy-to-let boom have in recent years hiked rents or quit the market owing to regulatory and tax changes.
Overall, average rents are now 15% higher than during the same period two years ago, just as the pandemic started. The hikes coincide with higher energy bills and other living costs.
The website named a number of rental hotspots, with Swansea in south Wales topping the table with a 19.7% annual rise in typical asking rents. Manchester was close behind, with a 19.3% increase, the average monthly rent up from £894 to £1,067 in a year. Liverpool was another hotspot, with a 17.1% annual rise. Others included Margate in Kent (18.8%), Grantham in Lincolnshire (14.6%) and Cardiff (14.5%).
The figures came a day after a report from an influential committee of MPs said more than one in eight privately rented homes in England posed a serious threat to people’s health and safety.
An estimated 11 million people rent privately in England , and the sector has doubled in size during the past 20 years.
Separately, the Office for National Statistics published data that showed average UK house prices increased by 10.9% over the 12 months to February - up from 10.2% in the year to January. That lifted the typical price to £277,000 – about £27,000 higher than a year earlier.

Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Criminal Case Takes A Surprising Turn
Cuba Gooding Jr. built an exceptional career for himself, delivering stunning performances in major Hollywood productions that earned him an Academy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award — both for "Jerry Maguire." But Gooding's reputation took a major turn in 2019 when he was booked in New York on accusations of groping a woman, who said he touched her breast without her consent, ABC News reported that June. The instance proved to be just the beginning of Gooding's legal troubles. Just four months later, the "Boyz n the Hood" star was accused of a similar charge by another woman, per The Daily Beast.
The sexual misconduct allegations against Gooding soon began to pile on. By August 2020, at least 30 women had come forward with similar stories, according to CNN. Gooding was facing jail time for forcible touching and sex abuse, elevating the number of counts to six on three separate incidents that reportedly took place between 2018 and 2019 in different New York restaurants and clubs.
Appearing before a judge in August 2020 after a series of dates had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gooding pleaded not guilty to all counts. He had consistently denied all allegations against him. "Nothing in the video could even be considered ambiguous, and I frankly am shocked and horrified that this case is being prosecuted," his lawyer, Mark Heller, told 9News after his 2019 arrest. However, Gooding has changed his stance in his most recent court appearance.
Cuba Gooding Jr. pleaded guilty to forcible touching
Cuba Gooding Jr. will plead guilty to one count of forcible touching stemming from an accusation brought by a server whom he "kissed ... on her lips" without consent at a New York nightclub in 2018, AP reported on April 13. After the district attorney's office asked the court to allow 19 women to testify against Gooding at his criminal trial, the judge ruled two of them can, according to The New York Times.
The women's testimony will allow the prosecution to argue whether Gooding displayed a pattern of inappropriate conduct or not. In documents filed in 2019, the DA argued "[Gooding's] prior acts demonstrate that his contacts with their intimate parts are intentional, not accidental, and that he is not mistaken about their lack of consent." In exchange for his guilty plea, the DA's office agreed Gooding would avoid jail time, according to AP. The agreement also allows Gooding to plea to a lesser harassment charge if he remains in counseling for six months, which would reduce the criminal nature of the charge as well.
In addition to the criminal charges, Gooding was also accused of rape in a civil lawsuit filed in August 2020, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In the documents, a woman alleged Gooding forced her to have sex with him twice at a Greenwich Village VIP lounge in 2013. Once again, Gooding denied the allegations, with his lawyer accusing the woman of seeking attention and publicity.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available. Visit the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network website or contact RAINN's National Helpline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Voters Eye Candidates Ahead of Alabama Primary Election
Alabama’s 2022 primary elections are less than 6 weeks away, and voters are starting to hone in on candidates.
One Montgomery voter Alabama News Network spoke with says as the election intensifies, he is researching the candidates records.
” I’m watching the primary very closely. We’ve had record revenues for the state, and Im watching closely how the candidates propose to spend it.” says Bill Hill.
Political analyst Steve Flowers says says the race for Senate, is one of the most interesting and contested races in recent history.
“You’ve got an open U.S. Senate race, with three viable, well financed opponents,” said Flowers.
Flowers says incumbents like Governor Kay Ivey usually have a smooth road to re-election and he doesn’t see controversy there, but, he believes the U.S. Senate race will go to a run-off.
The latest polls show that Mike Durant and Katie Britt may face a run-off, with Mo Brooks finishing a distant third, but that can change.
The office of Secretary of State and Montgomery County District Attorney are also on the ballot.
Primary elections are Tuesday, May 24.

GMA fans think Michael Strahan’s daughter Isabella, 17, looks unrecognizable & stunning in fashion show modeling debut
GMA fans think Michael Strahan's daughter, Isabella, 17, thinks stunning and unrecognizable in her fashion show modeling debut.
He posted a series of behind-the-scenes photos and videos on his Instagram of his daughter's first runway show.
"Very proud of you, @isabellastrahan, for crushing your first runway this weekend for @sherrihill!!!! As a parent, there is nothing like watching your child succeed at what they love with a smile on their face! #ProudDad #GirlDad," he captioned the post.
The video showed Michael laughing and talking to someone backstage as Isabella gets her make-up done.
It then pans to her walking out in a stunning black dress, to which Michael had a front-row seat.
Fans then see her in an equally as stunning white dress with feathers on the back.
The edited video then flashes back to the 17-year-old in her black dress.
She walks past Strahan who gives a proud look to the camera.
The video ends with still pictures of Isabella with her family, posing in front of a Sherri Hill backdrop.
Fans were quick to pay his daughter compliments in the comments.
"Wow. Gorgeous," said one fan.
"Absolutely stunning," iterated others.
Many commenters posted fire emojis and heart-eye emojis
"She's just breathtaking," wrote a third.
BLENDED FAMILY
Michael is relatively private when it comes to his family life, so that's why fans were excited to see how his daughter is doing.
He has four children-two from his first marriage and two from his second.
The morning show host was married to Wanda Hutchins from 1992 to 1996 and they had two children together- Michael Jr. and Tanita.
Then, in 1999, Michael married Jean Muggli and they had twins girls- Isabella and Sophia.
He and Jean split in 2006 when the twins were only two years old.
GMA-WAY
Fans were worried last month when Michael was noticeably absent from the morning show.
Lara Spencer and T.J. Holmes filled in for the 50-year-old as fans took to Twitter to express their concerns.
"Missing Michael Strahan on Good Morning America. I hope that everything is well with him," wrote one fan.
He returned to the show the next day but then was absent again at the end of March.
A fan tweeted Robin Roberts and asked when he and George Stephanopoulos would be back and she told them "very soon!."
Neither Michael nor the other anchors gave a reason as to why he was missing from the show.
However, Variety reported that Michael is currently producing a new medical drama, so that could explain his absence.

A look at what’s happening around the majors today:
___
SWITCHING SIDES
Tigers lefty Eduardo Rodríguez gets a look at his former teammates when he pitches against Boston at Comerica Park.
Rodriguez was 64-39 in six seasons with Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts and the Red Sox before signing a $77 million, five-year contract with Detroit as a free agent.
“All in all, I’m going to enjoy having the opportunity to face my old teammates,” he said.
The 29-year-old Rodriguez gave up three runs and four hits in four innings against the White Sox in his Detroit debut.
FIRST ON THE FIELD
One day after suddenly ending up in the spotlight, Alyssa Nakken will be right back at work trying to help the San Francisco Giants beat San Diego.
The 31-year-old Nakken made major league history as the first female coach on the field in a regular-season game Tuesday night during San Francisco’s 13-2 victory over the Padres. She came in to coach first base for the Giants in the third inning after Antoan Richardson was ejected.
When she was announced as Richardson’s replacement, Nakken was greeted with a warm ovation from the San Francisco crowd. She also received a congratulatory handshake from Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer.
Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Nakken had “prepared for this moment” while working with Richardson and others.
“So it’s not a foreign spot on the field for her. She does so many other things well that aren’t seen,” he said. “So it’s nice to see her kind of be right there in the spotlight and do it on the field.”
Nakken is an assistant coach who works heavily with baserunning and outfield defense. She normally watches games from an indoor batting cage near the steps to the dugout — and has a Giants jersey nearby, just in case she needs it.
And in an instant Tuesday night, she did.
Nakken jogged onto the field four days after Rachel Balkovec became the first woman to manage a minor league affiliate of a Major League Baseball team. Balkovec guided the New York Yankees’ Class A Tampa club to a win in her first game.
Nakken had previously coached first base in spring training and during part of a July 2020 exhibition game at Oakland. She started at first again a night later against the Athletics in San Francisco as the teams prepared for the pandemic-delayed season.
KWAN WATCH
Remarkable rookie Steven Kwan has reached base at least three times in all five games of his major league career with Cleveland.
The 24-year-old outfielder kept up his super start with a single, two walks and a sacrifice fly Tuesday in a 10-5 win at Cincinnati.
Kwan is 10 for 15 since making his debut on opening day. He has reached base in 18 of 24 plate appearances, the most times for any player in his first five games since 1901.
Kwan also has swung 39 times and not missed a single time, according to Statcast.
The lefty hitter and the Guardians next face left-hander Nick Lodolo, who will make his big league debut. The Reds picked him seventh overall in the 2019 draft.
MANAEA MAGIC
Off to a sensational start, Padres newcomer Sean Manaea is back on the mound at San Francisco.
Traded from Oakland to San Diego in the final week of spring training, the 30-year-old lefty pitched seven hitless innings against Arizona in his Padres debut. Manaea was pulled after 88 pitches with the no-hitter intact.
Manaea pitched six seasons for the A’s before being dealt. He’s still waiting to settle into San Diego — the trade came while he was in Arizona for spring training, then the Padres opened against the Diamondbacks in Phoenix before heading to San Francisco.
A NEW VIEW
Clayton Kershaw gets his first look at Target Field when he faces the Minnesota Twins for the first time in his career.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner makes his season debut for the Dodgers. He chose to stay with Los Angeles rather than sign as a free agent with the Rangers in his home state of Texas.
Now in his 15th season, the 34-year-old Kershaw was sharp in four spring training starts.
While he’s never taken on the Twins, Kershaw will pitch against a familiar opponent. Chris Paddack makes his first start for Minnesota after being acquired in an opening day trade with San Diego.
Paddack was early in his rookie season of 2019 when he lost to Kershaw in an NL West matchup.
GOING MY WAY?
Robbie Ray impressed in his first game for Seattle, showing the stuff that won him the AL Cy Young Award last year with Toronto.
The 30-year-old lefty was in control last week, winning at Minnesota with seven innings of three-hit ball. Ray now takes on José Abreu, Tim Anderson and the White Sox in Chicago.
Dallas Keuchel starts for the White Sox, trying for his 100th career win. The 34-year-old lefty, who won the 2015 AL Cy Young with Houston, struggled last season and was shaky in spring training last month.

The roundabout at Hog Mountain and Cash roads in South Hall is open.
Gone are the stop signs that once controlled traffic at the busy intersection near Flowery Branch High School.
Some work still needs to be done, including paving and striping, with final completion expected by the end of next week, County Engineer Frank Miller said.
Rainy weather this week may affect completion, he added.
Like other roundabouts that have been built around Hall County, the Cash Road/Hog Mountain one will allow people to turn right into a circle and then exit onto a roadway leading them to where they need to go.
The circle will have two exits on Hog Mountain Road, one on Cash Road and one that leads into Folksong Apartments, a 334-unit complex that’s under construction and close to opening.
The roundabout could be especially helpful for Cash Road residents. Cash Road’s sharp angle at Hog Mountain Road can make turning left from Cash onto Hog Mountain a tricky maneuver.
And Hog Mountain traffic can be quite hectic, as the road runs between Spout Springs Road and the Atlanta Falcons headquarters off Falcon Parkway. Also, the road gets busy at school times, as Davis Middle School is also nearby, sitting off Falcon Parkway across from the NFL franchise.

AJ McKee has been one of the few talents closing the gap between the UFC and Bellator. Holding a record of 18-0, 'Mercenary' destroyed his competition during his rise to become the featherweight champion.
Last time out, McKee beat Patricio Freire in the Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix to win $1 million and the title. Eight months later, the Brazilian gets a chance for redemption in a rematch against 'Mercenary' at Bellator 277 on April 15.
Watch AJ McKee submit Patricio Freire in the first round below:
At 27, the sky is the limit for McKee. Speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, 'Mercenary' was asked about his future being potentially outside of Bellator. He had this to say:
"It's always been a dream of mine and a goal of mine to own the UFC title.... Owning a UFC belt one day is gonna happen. It's inevitable. It's an achievement and accolade I would love to have under my belt."
Watch AJ McKee discuss his future after Bellator below:
McKee is excessively confident going into Bellator 277, but he can't underestimate 'Pitbull'. The former two-division champion has fought the best featherweights in Bellator history and beat most of them. After losing to 'Mercenary' with a first-round submission, the Brazilian will surely do whatever it takes to win the rematch.
AJ McKee wants Patricio's brother after Bellator 277
While McKee discussed the transition to the UFC, his plans with Bellator go beyond the rematch with Freire. Patricio's brother, Patricky Pitbull, is also a Bellator fighter who holds the lightweight championship. As tensions have escalated, Patricky finds himself getting into altercations with 'Mercenary.'
Watch the altercation between AJ McKee and Patricky below:
During an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, McKee planned out his future by saying:
"He [Patricio] released the belt, allowing his brother to fight for the 155-pound title. He's gonna lose to me one last time and then beat his brother up to make it a family affair."
McKee continued to discuss his aspirations to become a two-division champion. 'Mercenary' cuts a good amount of weight to get to 145 pounds, so a move to 155 pounds makes sense. Also, not many people would argue that Patricky is more talented than Patricio.
McKee is slowly becoming a superstar in the MMA world. The 27-year-old still has plenty of time to complete his Bellator aspirations and then conquer the UFC featherweight division. For arguably the first time, Bellator has a homegrown superstar who could take over the UFC.

Takeover target Virtus Health is backing a new offer from suitor CapVest in the latest in the bidding war between the UK private equity firm and local investor BGH.
The fertility treatments maker told investors this morning that CapVest wants to amend its offer so that the price payable for shares under a scheme of arrangement would be $8.15. Including the company’s 12 cent interim dividend, investors would see a payout of $8.27 per share.
A second takeover price option, which would have a lower hurdle for shareholder approval, would value shares at $8.10 each, with investors to get $8.22 per share once the interim dividend is included.
CapVest has also promised it won’t pay out the capital return amounts during the offer period unless the tax office confirms the payout will be treated as a capital return and not an unfranked dividend - meaning investors will have certainty on how much tax they’ll pay under the deal.
The Virtus board told investors that it believes this offer is superior to the one put on the table a fortnight ago by BGH, which offered to buy up shares immediately at $8 each.
“Virtus expects to sign an amending deed to update the TID for the Revised CapVest Offer later today, and will release a copy of the amended TID to the market at that time,” the company said.
The company will send an offer booklet to investors in early May. Virtus shares closed at $8.18 on Wednesday.

BATON ROUGE- Two days after the Capital Area Transit System ousted their CEO Bill Deville, decisions are still being made on what he'll do next as the board allowed him to continue to collect his $200,000 per year salary.
Deville has been the focus of numerous WBRZ Investigative Unit stories over the years. Most recently, he came under fire for not enforcing the bus system's zero-tolerance drug free policy. The bus system's comptroller, John Cutrone, tested positive for meth. Bills were paid late and caused employees to lose health insurance for two days.
Last year, WBRZ reported on a secret recording that showed the Chief Administrative Officer talking about missing money at the bus system. She claimed nearly five million dollars had gone missing.
Monday, Dwana Williams was appointed the interim CEO. Her salary is currently in negotiations and she declined to comment at a meeting held today.
"We look forward to working with you and moving on and moving forward," Vice President Linda Perkins told Williams. "Thank you very much."
Perkins said she would like to see Deville move on from the bus system.
"We do not need two CEO's," Perkins said.

DALLAS (AP) — U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar's lawyer said federal authorities have informed him that the Democrat is not the target of an investigation that led FBI agents to search the congressman's South Texas home.
Cuellar, who's in the midst of a reelection campaign, denied any wrongdoing in January after agents searched his house in the border city of Laredo as part of investigation related to the to the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan.
The congressman's Washington, D.C.-based attorney, Joshua Berman, said Wednesday that his client is cooperating and that “the Justice Department has informed me that Congressman Cuellar is not a target of the investigation.” The statement was first reported by Fox News.
Berman's comment comes as Cuellar, who is among the most conservative Democrats in Congress, is locked in a primary runoff with a progressive challenge: Jessica Cisneros, a 28-year-old immigration attorney. Neither got the more than 50% of the vote needed to win outright in a March primary and they will appear on the ballot again in May.
The search of Cuellar’s home was part of a broader investigation related to Azerbaijan that saw FBI agents serve a raft of subpoenas and conduct interviews in Washington, D.C. and Texas, a person with direct knowledge of the probe previously told The Associated Press. The person was not authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
It was not immediately clear what connection the search of Cuellar’s home had to the ongoing investigation.
Federal disclosures show that the nine-term congressman travelled to Azerbaijan 2013. Two years later, Cuellar’s office announced an agreement between a Texas university and an organization called the Assembly of Friends of Azerbaijan for the purposes of collaborating on oil and gas research and education.
A spokesman for the US attorney’s office in Washington did not immediately return calls seeking comment. The FBI declined to comment.

Toyota recalls 460,000 vehicles for stability control glitch
Published: Apr. 13, 2022 at 4:25 PM CDT|Updated: 2 hours ago
DETROIT (AP) — Toyota is recalling about 460,000 vehicles in the U.S. to fix a software problem that can inadvertently disable the electronic stability control system.
The automaker says that when the vehicles are restarted, the software in rare cases may not automatically switch the system into the “on” mode. That can disable the system.
The recall covers 2020 to 2022 models including the Toyota brand’s Venza, Mirai, RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime, Sienna Hybrid, and Highlander Hybrid. Also included are the LS500h, LX600, NX350h, and NX450h-plus from the Lexus luxury brand.
Dealers will update software on the skid control computer to fix the problem.
Owners will be notified by mid-June.

Ex-ice arena boss accused of embezzlement enters diversionary program
The former general manager of the York Ice Arena will enter a diversionary program after paying $16,000 in restitution to settle accusations that he embezzled thousands of dollars from the venue.
Michael Cleveland, of Fairview Township, was accepted into York County’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program during a hearing Tuesday.
Entering the program allows the 52-year-old to avoid pleading guilty in the case, and by completing it, he could avoid a conviction and sentence in the case, and possibly have it expunged from his record.
Cleveland was charged with two counts of theft, one felony and one misdemeanor, in September 2020. Investigators alleged he stole about $23,000 from the ice arena over three years, starting in 2014, while he served as general manager. Much of those funds allegedly came from skating leagues that used the rink regularly.
In 2017, two arena employees went to the head of the York Revolution, which managed the facility at the time, and relayed concerns that Cleveland wasn’t properly depositing cash. According to investigators, those concerns led to a forensic audit by an accounting firm and the criminal investigation.

The total figure for the missing funds was disputed by Cleveland and his attorney, Douglas France.
“There was a disagreement as to the amount of loss,” France said Wednesday.
France said he and Cleveland believed the amount that investigators alleged was taken was in error. They discussed the issue with District Attorney Dave Sunday’s office, and after further review, the two sides reached an agreement on a lower amount of restitution.
Cleveland then paid about $16,310 in restitution along with nearly $5,000 in fines and fees ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, court records show. The DA’s office followed by signing off on his admission into ARD.
Like what you're reading? Consider subscribing to The York Dispatch.
Sunday had rejected Cleveland’s first application into ARD in January 2021, citing issues such as the amount of restitution owed, the three years the alleged embezzlement occurred and concerns about Cleveland’s willingness to seek treatment.
York County DA spokesman Kyle King said Sunday reconsidered Cleveland’s rejection after he was asked to look at the application again. King also said decisions to reconsider ARD rejections aren’t uncommon.
The York Revolution managed the ice arena from 2014 until about July 2021. The contract was awarded then to Maryland-based Black Bear Sports Group.

During the Delta County Commissioners board meeting on Tuesday, April 5, Delta Health CEO Matt Heyn sought support for its upcoming sales tax initiative as he presented solutions to the hospital’s revenue losses over the course of the pandemic.
The plan outlined the hospital’s community contributions and current financial situation, as well as possible solutions to its revenue shortage.
Heyn explained to commissioners that receiving the new provider status is considered “Plan A” while the upcoming May ballot sales tax initiative is “Plan B” in the hospital’s attempt to compensate for lost income driven by the pandemic.
“A couple of things that are key: Delta Health is committed to being a rural-based community hospital,” Heyn told the board. “It’s our commitment to remain independent in the light of financial struggles that we’re undergoing right now.”
The CEO noted that over 70% of the hospital’s patients are on Medicare or Medicaid, but despite “lifesaving care” provided by Delta Health, only less than half a percentage point of revenue stems from tax dollars. This currently amounts to around $300,000 received from property taxes.
This, he said, is significantly less than other comparable hospitals.
While the hospital’s newest designation moves the nonprofit one step closer toward independence, it still requires a tax increase to meet its goal due to a considerable revenue shortage. The revenue shortfall comes after “substantial cost saving measures,” according to Heyn.
The CEO described how the hospital conducted layoffs, reviewed a couple of programs, shrank the size of its clinic operations, and looked at eliminating all lease agreements with outside entities so it could move onto the Delta Health campus. The hospital continues running at a deficit, however.
“We face further reductions in services potentially, and the possibility of having a partner with a larger health system if we can’t get this equation solved,” said Heyn.
Heyn indicated that Delta Health is one of many independent rural community hospitals operating on a deficit and if the problem persists, Delta County could lose its hospital.
“If we lose our local hospital or we have continued severe cuts, this would risk the well being of the residents across Delta County and so we’re trying to avoid that,” he said. “It would likely force residents to seek care outside of the community.”
Heyn appealed to commissioners the financial contributions the hospital has provided the county, specifically its employment opportunities.
Delta Health provided around $41 million in wages in 2021, which Heyn described as a “pretty significant economic driver” to the community. Last year the hospital also provided over $2 million in charity and uncollected care.
The hospital documented nearly 600 employees at the start of April and 503 full-time employees. Heyn commented that the reduction in well-paying jobs to the local economy hasn’t allowed the hospital to reinvest in the community.
The pandemic left Delta Health juggling supply cost increases, operating room closures for reduced elective procedures, reduced patient volumes that have now bounced back, as well as staffing shortages.
The hospital spent approximately $300,000 last month in contract labor for services and personnel–the positions have been difficult to fill, according to the CEO.
“We are seeing staff burnout in light of the pandemic, and we also are seeing a growth in the uninsured population as a result of the pandemic,” he said.
Commissioner Don Suppes asked Heyn why both solutions were still needed now that the hospital has received its SCHP status.
Heyn responded that Delta Health will still need the addition of the sales tax in order to offset revenue losses despite the nearly $3 million in annual expenses the designation will provide.
If Plans A and B were to fail, then the alternative meant seeking a partnership with a larger healthcare system.
However, even if only one of the plans came to fruition (the new designation), the hospital would still investigate a partnership. If both plans panned out, then Delta Health would be able to achieve its goal of long term independence.

The suspected shooter who fired a gun inside a New York City MTA train car in Brooklyn yesterday was arrested this afternoon after a 24 hour-plus manhunt. The man is suspected of releasing smoke grenades inside the moving train and firing a gun 33 times, shooting 10 people and injuring 29 others. None of the victims have died.
The attack roiled New York on Tuesday, the realization of a nightmare scenario in a city that relies heavily on its massive and largely underground transit system.
The attack also highlights at least one concern that Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Elena Kagan vocalized during oral arguments last year while hearing a challenge to New York state’s gun restrictions. Allowing concealed weapons in the very dense New York City metropolitan area, they quite reasonably theorized, presents a credible threat to public safety.
The court is poised to rule on that case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, sometime this summer. The case is a challenge backed by pro-gun groups to New York state’s current, relatively strict concealed carry laws; the state mandates that applicants for a license prove why they think they need a concealed weapon on their person. The challenge was brought by two upstate New Yorkers who were not granted unrestricted concealed carry licensees — though both of the men involved in the case were granted restricted licenses, which allow them to carry for specific purposes, like hunting, target practice and driving to and from work.
During oral arguments, state gun rights advocates and some justices suggested that the law is unconstitutional because it asks applicants to explain themselves in a manner that is not required of those seeking to use other constitutional rights, such as those outlined in the First Amendment. Court watchers have predicted that this uber-conservative Supreme Court may well strike down the law, which was adopted in New York in 1911. That, in turn, could mean more concealed weapons across the state, and, concerningly, across the city.
Roberts signaled an openness to at least considering the ramifications of overturning the law, specifically on how it might impact public safety in the city. In what turned into a “sensitive places” discussion, Roberts listed off a number of examples of situations where an expanded concealed carry law might present serious danger — university campuses, sports arenas, anywhere where alcohol is served.
Kagan backed him up: “What the Chief Justice is trying to do is figure out how those cash out in the real world. So I’ll give you a few more. New York City subways.”
There are, of course, enough conservatives on the bench to form a majority even without Roberts.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets were delayed getting to the arena Wednesday for their NBA play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks.
By a freight train, of all things.
Tracks run all around State Farm Arena, a remnant of a time when the area was the site of the city's two major passenger stations. Both stations were torn down decades ago, but many of the tracks that remain are still frequented by freight trains running near the heart of downtown Atlanta.
One of those trains stopped on a crossing before the game, blocking the Hornets' chartered buses from reaching the players' entrance on the bottom level of the arena.
The buses were forced to turn around and find an alternate route to the arena. They were delayed about 15 minutes.
“I've never seen that,” Hornets coach James Borrego said. “I've been coming to this arena for 20 years, and I've never seen a train stop before the game."
He seemed to imply that the Hawks had something to do with the freight train stopping at the crossing.
“Somebody figure it out. I have no idea,” Borrego said. “But our guys noticed.”
He said the delay fired up the 10th-seeded Hornets, who were looking to earn their way into the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
"It's good fuel for us," Borrego said.

The Swiss Edelweiss Village Foundation, the institution behind the push to save the historic Swiss Village on the outskirts of Golden, has secured the property and has launched a crowdfunding campaign today (April 13).
The crowdfunding will help formally purchase the property to preserve it.
The deadline to come up with the funding has been set for mid-July for the first deposit, and mid-December for the purchase.
The campaign features a GoFundMe page, as well as a ‘Swiss Guides’ NFT collection. The GoFundMe goal is set at $2,300,000, with $900 raised to date from 10 donations.
The digital art collection is inspired by the Swiss Guides mountaineer look. Each NFT purchase comes with an original art piece associated with one of the 10,000 symbolic plots of the village.
To help offset the carbon footprint generated by blockchain technology, the foundation has partnered with the Blockchain for Climate Foundation.
“It’s exciting to see that our actions are making an impact,” said Dr. Ilona Spaar, one of the two Swiss-Canadians who has been organizing the push to save the village.
“We are thrilled to move into the next phase of our strategic plan,” said Dr. Johann Roduit, another of the organizers behind the movement.
“Creating a digital art collection using blockchain technology is very exciting. It brings innovation to the world of history and culture and is built on the innovative legacy of the Swiss mountain guides.”
The first phase of saving the Swiss village involved an awareness campaign, which successfully resulted in the National Trust For Canada recognizing Edelweiss Village as one of the Top 10 Endangered Places for 2022.
The Edelweiss Swiss Village is comprised of six Swiss-inspired homes, on a 50-acre property, which was constructed between 1910 and 1912 for the Swiss Guides.
The guides were brought to Golden to guide tourists through Rogers Pass, Banff and Lake Louise.
The property first went up for sale in early 2021.

As Texas buses migrants to D.C., Abbott faces backlash for chaos at the border
The first bus of migrants from Texas’ southern border arrived in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday morning, one week after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to send migrants to the nation’s capital to protest President Biden’s immigration policies. Despite Abbott’s pledge to deliver the migrants to “the steps of the United States Capitol,” they were reportedly dropped off nearby, outside Fox News’ D.C. bureau.

Robert Asselin: We don't need another growth fund to address innovation and productivity
Public 'investments' won’t produce better outcomes if we don’t change the way we think, incentivize, and produce innovation
Article content
Last week’s federal budget could be seen as a pivotal one, at least directionally for the emphasis it put on economic growth. “Now is the time to focus — with smart investments and a clarity of purpose — on growing the economy,” it boldly pronounced in the foreword. To the surprise of many, the words “productivity” and “innovation” even made their way into the budget plan several times. The first step to solve any problem is acknowledging one exists and, as such, the government deserves ample credit.

Article content
Where it disappointed was on the two flagship measures proclaimed as solutions to the problem: a $15-billion growth fund and a yet-to-be defined Innovation and Investment Agency that will provide “advice.” The issue with these instruments and structures is they already exist in various forms — or have been tried before — and for the most part, their track records on boosting innovation and productivity are very questionable.
How will these two flagship initiatives be different from the Strategic Innovation Fund and the Net-Zero Accelerator Fund that were presented in previous budgets as growth funds? And how will they accomplish anything different from the multiple layers of existing programs and funding at the National Research Council, the Canadian Infrastructure Bank, the Business Development Bank of Canada, Export Development Canada, Sustainable Development Technology Canada, the Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative, etc? Crowding out is an outdated — and wrong — way to think about industrial policy.

Article content
No matter what financial instrument is deployed, public “investments” won’t produce better outcomes if we don’t change the way we think, incentivize, and produce innovation. Being content with incremental innovation and technological adoption means Canada is leaving a considerable amount of economic wealth on the table to other countries.
Innovation economics is about amassing and leveraging intellectual capital into commercial assets. To only “adopt technology” means we will always be rentiers. This idea that Canada is great at invention but only needs reinforcement at the commercialization phase is false and misguided. Just look at our record on patents creation over the last decade. Take artificial intelligence as an example: how can we be so good at R&D and so ordinary at reaping the commercial benefits at scale at a time when venture capital (VC) investing in Canada has reached historic levels? How will a new growth fund solve this?

Article content
Science and technology form the modern frontier of competitiveness and we need a capacity to better compete for new ideas and technologies. But Canada has an organizational structure for science that has not adapted to the 21st century. Our capacity to do industrial research at scale is almost nonexistent and our technology transfer mechanisms have not kept pace with developments in the creation of knowledge. There is still an overreliance on incremental innovation or safe bets. Ask yourself where we would be without mRNA vaccines or how we will reduce emissions to reach our climate targets.
The government must therefore augment its current scientific and technology strategy to build greater capacity to pursue radical innovation or game-changing technologies. A pipeline of such breakthrough ideas and technologies is a crucial ingredient of generating valuable intellectual property within the country.

Article content
One of the reasons Americans became dominant in the space and defence sectors was because they organized their science and technology infrastructure to connect and optimize their public R&D with private firms. The success of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) model isn’t a function of capital formation, but rather a deliberate and intentional system design and method for a successful and modern application of science and technology through industrial policy. When it comes to innovation in Canada, we can aim to be more than just takers: we can be makers, too.

Article content
To improve our business investment performance, scaling Canadian firms will be paramount. This can happen with better demand side levers such as using public procurement to create market demand and grow small and medium businesses. Public-private institutions such as NASA would have been much less successful if the U.S. government had not used procurement to nurture its promising technologies and advanced industries.
By focusing on innovation, intellectual property and R&D, last week’s federal budget marked an important and welcome change on policy focus. There is a lot of work ahead to achieve Canada’s full economic potential. To start, let’s identify where the challenges lie and not do more of the same. If we want to innovate and keep up with our global competitors, we need to get away from safe bets, firms’ subsidies, and more inefficient government structures.
Robert Asselin is senior vice-president of policy at the Business Council of Canada and former policy adviser to two prime ministers.

FRESNO, Calif. (KGPE)- Three cannabis dispensaries are coming to Tulare after approval from the city council.
The new dispensaries are projected to bring in $1.5 million in sales tax annually for the city.
Construction for two of the dispensaries at the Tulare Outlet Mall is already underway.
The smell of cannabis is strong as customers walk through the doors of Token Farms in Farmersville.
“We see anywhere from 600-700 people a day at the Farmersville location,” said Token Farms Owner Jennifer Mendonca.
Those customers come from all over the valley, including Tulare. Now, the two neighboring Farmersville dispensaries are now building two new shops at the Tulare Outlet Mall near the Boot Barn store.
“We kinda look at where the most people are gonna be traveling, what is the best area,” said Valley Pure VP of Sales Tony Caudle. “The outlet was perfect. It is a beautiful area. It is growing.
Token Farms has agreed to give 2% of net profits to a Tulare non-profit to address community issues including homelessness. Valley Pure will give a one-time donation of $100,000 to the city for two police vehicles, an annual donation of $25,000 to the Tulare Joint Union High School District, an annual donation of $10,000 to Centennial Park, an annual donation of $10,000 to the library, and $5,000 to the Santa Fe Trail.
Two years ago, Tulare Mayor Dennis Mederos voted against cannabis dispensaries.
“I have taken the attitude that no matter what my vote was initially I wanted to be involved I wanted to be involved in the process,” said Mederos.
Now Mederos said many of his concerns including security have been addressed. The dispensaries are projected to bring in about $1.5 million in sales tax annually for the city, which Mederos said will be used to address other issues including homelessness.
“If we take that money and use it to combat other issues that I indicated in the city then we can turn that into a positive,” said Mederos.
The cannabis dispensaries need one more final approval from the city council.

Lawyer: Johnny Depp trial likely to become mudslinging soap opera
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A trial over libel allegations by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, will likely turn into a six-week, mudslinging soap opera, Heard’s lawyers warned a Virginia jury Tuesday.
“You’re going to see who the real Johnny Depp is — behind the fame, behind the pirate costumes,” Heard lawyer J. Benjamin Rottenborn told the jury during opening statements in the civil trial. “Because Johnny Depp brought this case, all of this is going to come out.”
Depp sued Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court after she wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post in 2018 referring to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”
Depp says the article indirectly defames him by referring to abuse allegations Heard made back in 2016. Depp denies abusing her.
In Tuesday’s opening statements, Rottenborn said the evidence will show that Depp physically and sexually assaulted Heard on multiple occasions. But he told jurors that they don’t need to make themselves referees of the couple’s turbulent marriage if they focus on the basics of libel law.
He argued that Heard was exercising her First Amendment rights as an advocate when she wrote the article, which focused largely on the broad topic of domestic violence.
He also said the 2018 article did nothing to damage Depp’s reputation. He noted that the abuse accusations had been public for two years already, and he said Depp’s spiraling career was the result of his drinking and drug-using, which made him an unreliable commodity to Hollywood studios.
“This man’s poor choices have brought him to this point,” he said. “Stop blaming other people for your own self-created problems.”
More than anything, though, he pointed out that the article in question never even mentions Depp’s name.
Depp’s lawyer, Benjamin Chew, acknowledged that Depp’s name never appears in the piece.
“It didn’t have to,” Chew told the jury. “Everyone in Hollywood knew exactly what she was talking about.”
Depp’s team argues that the article is an example of “defamation by implication.” In the December 2018 piece, Heard wrote that “two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.”
Chew said that’s a clear reference to a restraining order Heard sought in May 2016 — right after Depp told her he wanted a divorce — in which she claimed she’d been physically abused.
Chew said she showed up at the courthouse on May 27 of that year with a bruise on her face that was photographed by the paparazzi. But he said the evidence will show that Heard gave herself the injury to ruin Depp’s reputation. He said that Depp and Heard hadn’t seen each other since May 21: He’d gone on a European tour with his band, the Hollywood Vampires.
Police and others saw Heard immediately after May 21 and her face wasn’t bruised, Chew said. He said a witness will testify that he saw security footage in which Heard’s sister throws fake punches at her, and the two laugh.
Another of Depp’s lawyers, Camille Vasquez, told the jury that Heard refuses to admit she lied and has now dug in even deeper.
“She can’t back down. She has been living and breathing this lie for years,” Vasquez said. “She’s going to give the performance of a lifetime in this courtroom.”
Both Depp and Heard are expected to testify at the trial, scheduled for six weeks, along with actors Paul Bettany and James Franco and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.
About 80 people, mostly Depp supporters, sat in the courtroom Tuesday. Some people lined up hours early for seats, but several rows were largely vacant.
The courtroom went silent a few minutes before the 10 a.m. start time when Heard entered the room, through a special entrance usually reserved for the judge. But there was an audible intake of breath when Depp came in a minute later, again through a special entrance. At the end of the day, after the jury had left the courtroom, Depp turned and saluted the gallery as he exited, receiving dozens of excited waves in return.
The first witness Tuesday afternoon was Depp’s older sister, Christi Dembrowski. She said the pair endured a difficult childhood in which Depp learned to hide from an abusive mother.
She said she saw the same pattern in Depp’s relationship with Heard. She said that when she booked travel for the couple in her role as Depp’s personal manager, she booked an extra hotel room so Depp would have somewhere to hide if Heard started a fight.
Dembrowski struggled on cross-examination, though, when she was asked why she sent texts to Depp in February 2014 that said, “Stop drinking. Stop coke. Stop pills.” She was unwilling to acknowledge she had a concern about Depp’s drinking and drug use.
“I don’t know what they were in reference to,” she said.
Heard’s lawyers have argued that Depp has no credibility when he denies abusing Heard because he frequently drank and used drugs to the point of blacking out and failing to remember anything he did.
Depp, who almost always faced forward during the trial, glared at Rottenborn for an extended period after the questioning of Depp’s sister ended for the day.
A civil jury of seven members, plus four alternates, was selected Monday to hear the case.
Heard’s lawyers had sought to have the case tried in California, where the actors reside. But a judge ruled that Depp was within his rights to bring the case in Virginia because The Washington Post’s computer servers for its online edition are located in the county. Depp’s lawyers have said they brought the case in Virginia in part because the laws here are more favorable to their case.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Four years ago, Kevin Stitt walked into the Oklahoma Capitol and filed for governor as a relative unknown.
On Wednesday, the Republican governor’s arrival to file for a second and final gubernatorial term was accompanied by much handshaking and media attention.
He was among the first in the state to file his candidacy paperwork, sealing his intention to run for public office. More than 350 other Oklahomans filed for state and federal offices on the first day of Oklahoma’s three-day filing period, which wraps Friday.
After filing, Stitt said he was off to Mar-a-Lago to spend time with former President Donald Trump, who is hosting a fundraiser for Stitt and already has endorsed Stitt.
Stitt will have at least two Republican gubernatorial primary challengers before battling Democratic and independent challengers in a November’s general election. Two Democrats, Joy Hofmeister and Connie Johnson had filed by Wednesday afternoon.
With his wife and two children by his side, Stitt said he’s proven that he’s not afraid to fight bureaucracy or special interest groups. He said special interest groups have already started running political attack ads against him months ahead of June’s Republican primary.
“What’s disappointing about politics is you’re almost rewarded to do nothing,” Stitt said. “And if you do nothing, and if you’re milquetoast and lukewarm on every single thing and you don’t make any decisions, then re-election is pretty easy. But when you’re out there poking the bear, and you’re making change for the betterment of all four million Oklahomans, some of the special interests in the establishment get frustrated.”
Last week, Joel Kintsel, former director of Oklahoma Department of Veterans affairs, announced that he, a self-described "Ronald Reagan conservative,” planned to challenge Stitt for the Republican nomination. Kintsel requested and was granted a leave of absence from his state post Monday.
“Oklahoma is in desperate need of a governor who will obey the law, set high ethical standards and do things by the book,” Kintsel said in a statement announcing his candidacy. “The Stitt administration is rife with corruption, self-dealing and cronyism, and Oklahomans deserve another choice.”
Kintsel had not filed for office as of Wednesday afternoon, and his campaign did not return messages seeking comment as of deadline.
Stitt rebuffed Kintsel’s allegations of cronyism and corruption Wednesday, saying it’s “just really, really funny that a career bureaucrat that works in the administration is talking about the state.”
Republican Mark Sherwood also has announced plans to run for governor, writing on his campaign website that it is no longer enough to be “a moderate conservative” who focuses on business and economics.
“Our state is under attack from the rogue Biden communist regime,” he wrote on his campaign website. “Even worse, we are left undefended by our current governor, Kevin Stitt, who is unwilling or incapable of leading. To share in this complacency, we have an apathetic legislature, unmotivated in protecting our natural, inalienable rights granted to us by God.”
Sherwood filed Wednesday afternoon.
Stitt said he welcomes any and all challengers because competition is what democracy is all about. Four years ago, there were 10 vying for the Republican primary nomination, he said.
“The more the merrier,” Stitt said. “And let’s have honest conversations about our past experience and how we want to lead the state.”

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama freshman point guard JD Davison is entering the NBA draft.
Davison, who is projected as a potential first-round pick, announced his decision on Instagram Wednesday. He didn't say if he would be hiring an agent, but Davison told ESPN he was “done with college.”
Davison was the No. 9-ranked recruit and top point guard in the country last year, according to 247Sports.com.
“I'm grateful to every single coach and teammate who helped me get here, and I'm ready to show the world what I can do at the next level,” Davison wrote on Instagram.
He played in all 33 games, starting six. Davison averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and a team-high 4.3 assists per game.
Leading scorer Jaden Shackelford has already declared for the draft and said he would hire an agent.
Players can still withdraw from the draft until June 1 if they hire an agent who is NCAA certified.

Mark Meadows removed as North Carolina registered voter
Mark Meadows, a former chief of staff to President Donald Trump, has been removed from North Carolina's list of registered voters after documents showed he lived in Virginia and voted in that state's 2021 election, officials said Wednesday.
Questions arose about Meadows last month, when North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein’s office asked the State Bureau of Investigation to look into Meadows’ voter registration, which listed a home he never owned — and may never have visited — as his legal residence.
A representative for Meadows, a former congressman from the area, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Meadows frequently raised the prospect of voter fraud before the 2020 presidential election, as polls showed Trump trailing Joe Biden, and in the months after Trump’s loss, to suggest Biden was not the legitimate winner. In his 2021 memoir, he repeated the baseless claims that the election was stolen.
Judges, election officials in both parties and Trump’s own attorney general has concluded there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Experts point to isolated incidents of intentional or unintentional violations of voter laws in every election.
Under North Carolina general statutes, “If a person goes into another state, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district, or into the District of Columbia, and while there exercises the right of a citizen by voting in an election, that person shall be considered to have lost residence in that State, county, municipality, precinct, ward, or other election district from which that person removed.”
Public records indicated Meadows had been registered to vote in Virginia and North Carolina, where he listed a mobile home he did not own as his legal residence weeks before casting a 2020 presidential election ballot in the state.
Meadows listed a mobile home in Scaly Mountain, North Carolina, as his physical address on Sept. 19, 2020, while he was serving as Trump’s chief of staff in Washington. Meadows later cast an absentee ballot for the general election by mail. Trump won the battleground state by just over 1 percentage point.
The New Yorker spoke to the former owner of the Scaly Mountain property, described as a 14-foot by 62-foot mobile home with a rusty metal roof, who indicated that Meadows does not own the home and never has. The previous owner said Meadows’ wife rented the property “for two months at some point within the past few years” but only spent one or two nights there. Neighbors said Meadows was never present, The New Yorker reported.
The New Yorker story doesn’t identify the former owner’s name, saying she requested that her name not be used.
In announcing his removal from the voter rolls, the Macon County Board of Elections said it had received no formal challenge and was referring the matter to the SBI, the state elections board said Wednesday.
Macon County District Attorney Ashley Welch had asked the attorney general’s office to handle any investigation into Meadows’ voter registration, recusing herself from the matter because Meadows contributed to her campaign for DA and appeared in political ads endorsing her.

Dr. Japheth Olugbogi is an epidemiologist and public health physician who is also the executive director of Japheth Olugbogi Foundation. In this interview with journalists, he discussed the importance of medical screening with a view to detecting the development of diseases early, following up on the treatment of such conditions as a strategy to achieve good health and prevent untimely death. APPOLONIA ADEYEMI was there
There have been numerous cases of sudden deaths in the country recently. Of what impact do you think medical screening will be in the lives of people?
There are so many people in the community who may not have enough money to buy drugs or money to go to hospitals to check themselves. There are also people who do not know that they should check themselves routinely for developing medical conditions. Some people do not have time to check themselves routinely as well.
In addition, many people live far away from the hospitals and so the essence of medical screening is to let them be aware of the status of their blood pressure, blood sugar, their hepatitis B status and their HIV status. What we do is to screen them for all these diseases and then at the end of the day, for those we can treat, we also offer those drugs.
We have hypertension drugs, blood sugar drugs, antimalarial drugs to treat respiratory tract infection and so many other ailments. The essence of these kinds of gestures is to make sure that people know their health conditions and also get treatment. Those whose blood pressure is very high, we treat them and refer them to the nearest hospitals or the health centers around them. This will afford them the opportunity of getting the adequate and required treatment that they deserve. The 2022 WHO non communicable diseases (NCDs) Progress Monitor shows that NCDs are on the rise.
Why is it important that people should know their health status. Peradventure they are not aware of it, what are the consequences?
Just last week, I had a colleague at work that slumped and died and at the end of the day, we found out that she was hypertensive. So many people walk around without knowing about their health status. A lot of people walk around with their blood pressure (BP) up to 200 mmHg over 100 mmHg. From our experience OF rendering this kind of services in the community, we have so many people that are coming down with diabetes or hypertension and they just know about the high BP the first time. The essence of routine medical screening is to afford people the opportunity to know about these things and then take the bull by the horn and get the required treatment as at when due. This will help reduce the scourge of NCDs in our society. It will help reduce mortality and morbidity that are due to NCDs in our society.
This issue of slumping and death has been associated with witches and wizards. What do you have to say to that? Do you know the ones that are medical and the ones that involve witches?
When we were young, a lot of people slump and die. A lot of people die in their sleep and the next thing we hear is that they have been called or that they have been attacked by arrows, among all sorts of things. We are not disputing that there may be witches or wizard activities due to diabolical means but then again, we have realised that so many people die from communicable and NCDs and complications that arise from these NCDs are preventable and treatable. A lot of people die in their sleep; a lot of people just slump and die because their BP is high. There is a video on WhatsApp of an elderly bale that slumped while preaching and died. If you investigate very well, he may have had high BP, stroke or partial stroke at some point in time.
These things happen; these things abound in these societies and people don’t know. When we do medical outreaches we use them to encourage all Nigerians, all foundations, all associations to either partner with people like us or even carry out their own free medical services so that people in underserved communities who live far away from hospitals or health centers can have the opportunity getting checked so that they can get treatment while their NCDs is still at the very early stage.
Also, there is a rise in cases of high blood pressure. Even politicians are at risk in this forthcoming election. What are the associated consequences of this rising BP and what are we likely to expect?
Truly, you will agree with me that the atmosphere now, whether election or not, is a bit different from what it used to be. A lot of people go to bed, not knowing what they will eat in the morning. A lot of people wake up in the morning not knowing what t h e y will feed their family with during the day.
These are stressors that put people under immense pressure; these are stressors coupled with our bad feeding habits. It is somebody who has money that will eat fruit and vegetables. A lot of people just eat things; a lot of people just drink different things. So many of our young people drink different types of herbs, alcoholic beverages and these affects people who have bad kidneys, high blood pressure and they may definitely have diabetes as well. All these are not unconnected to the rise in the incidences of NCDs in our environment. Also, Lagos is a society where you have a lot of stressors- traffic jams, robbery incidents and so many other things. They put a human being down with these stressors; he or she will probably crumble and may develop one or two of these NCDs.
Some people may be diagnosed with hypertension and given drugs, but they may go away and not take their drugs or take it wrongly. What are the implications of not taking the drugs diligently?
We have the details and data of those who have high blood pressure, and we try as much as possible to follow up on them. We counsel them as much as possible to take their drugs and also encourage them to visit the nearest hospital to continue checking their high BP and continue getting drugs for that. Asides from that, we also have the data of those whose blood pressures or sugar levels are very high. We try to follow up and find out if they are taking their drugs or not. Those who have high BP and develop strokes can also develop heart attacks. Some people sometimes just stand up, hold their chest and die. It is a sign of heart attack; it is not an arrow. It is not diabolical. It is a sign of a heart failing and a sign of a heart disease. These things happen and some people wake up and find out that they can’t lift either of their arms or legs or they can’t speak very well. This is stroke and a complication of high BP. Some people develop brain problems as a result of stroke; these are all complications of high BP and for those who have diabetes, their sugar level can be so high that they develop other medical conditions.

Ontario airline crew detained in Dominican Republic following major drug seizure
An Ontario airline's flight crew has been detained in the Dominican Republic since early April after officials at a local airport reportedly seized hundreds of packages of what is presumed to be cocaine.
The Pivot Airlines crew touched down at an airport in Punta Cana on April 5 and was set to return to Toronto when five crew members found and reported contraband on board, according to a statement from the airline.
Officials then discovered 200 packages in the control compartments of the aircraft, each of which contained a substance that appeared to be cocaine.
A statement from the Dominican Republic's National Drug Control Directorate (DNCD) confirmed that the 11-person crew — which includes nine Canadians, one Indian and one Dominican — has been detained in the country since the discovery and is undergoing interrogation.

— Dirección Nacional de Control de Drogas (@DNCDRD) April 6, 2022
"An extensive investigation process has been initiated around this case, the Public Ministry, assisted by DNCD agents, are working hard to clearly establish who is directly linked to the seizure of the substance," the press release states.
The airline has since confirmed that the Dominican court has agreed
to improve the conditions under which the crew is currently living, and they've also outlined a process for their eventual release from detention.
"We are grateful for the decision and are working diligently to secure their release," the airline said.

La PORTE -- Early in his career, Scott Upp was at a national baseball conference where a long-time coach was honored for his career.

He said, I'm going to tell you exactly what you should know, and it's that these 37 years are 37 one-year experiences. I learned in that one statement and it stuck with me forever. I stand by that."

A lot of rain fell with the storms that stayed non-severe last night (other than the severe thunderstorms for Buffalo, Trempealeau, and Jackson counties earlier in the afternoon).
We have a two-day total of 3.10" in our rain gauge on Eau Claire's south side. Eau Claire picked up a new daily record (for 4/12) 2.66" rain yesterday. Other reported totals ranged from one to two inches thanks to our Weather Trackers.
Temperatures were warmest this morning around 10am and have decreased all afternoon because of our westerly wind that has carried colder temperatures into the Chippewa Valley. The wind only gets stronger tomorrow.
A Wind Advisory is in effect for most of Western Wisconsin, with slightly slower gusts expected in Polk, Barron, and Rusk counties. It'll still be incredibly windy there, too. In the Advisory area, expect sustained wind out of the west-southwest of 20 to 35mph and gusts near or over 40 mph. The Advisory is in effect from 10am until 7pm.
Rain and snow are on the radar this evening, but that clears out overnight. In fact, we'll even have a couple hour stretch of clear skies in what otherwise is a mostly cloudy night.
With the chilly wind tomorrow and mostly cloudy sky, temps won't be able to warm much past the upper 30s. A few spots could get as warm as 40, but wind chills won't feel anything close to that. Flurries or scattered snow showers are possible areawide, and some minor accumulations cannot be ruled out especially north of highway 29.
Colder weather continues as we dry out Thursday night through Sunday. Expect lows in the low to mid 20s and highs to at best reach 40 again by this weekend. Clouds increase for Sunday along with a slight chance for rain later in the day.
On and off chances continue next week, and it seems like the timing will be either Sunday & Tuesday with rain or Monday and Wednesday as the forecast models are split between those solutions. Or, it could end up being a mix of the two with more overnight rain between those days as the timing is the biggest question. Temps will warm back a bit closer to average by the second half of the week.

Xi Says China Must Stick to Covid Zero Even as Costs Mount
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Xi JinpingGeneral Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and paramount leader of China
(Bloomberg) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping says his government will stick to its zero-tolerance approach to Covid even as public anger simmers in Shanghai and economic costs mount.

Democrats Ask the IRS Why Tax Audits for the Poor Have Doubled
“Prevention and control work cannot be relaxed,” Xi said during a trip to the island province of Hainan, the official Xinhua News Agency reported late Wednesday, the same day the financial hub saw a record 27,719 new cases.
Officials implementing Covid Zero need to adhere to the principle of “people first and life first,” Xi said. “Persistence is victory,” he added.
Xi -- who is likely to seek a third five-year term during a Communist Party congress later this year -- is facing one of the biggest tests of his tenure. The lockdown of tens of millions in the city of Shanghai and the northeastern province of Jilin has fueled widespread criticisms of his government’s response to the highly infectious Omicron variant.
Residents short of groceries, medical care and patience have been making a rare display of pushback as they’ve been barred from leaving their homes. While there have been a few signs of easing, such as allowing Shanghai, Guangzhou and six other cities to cut quarantine times for some people people, senior officials have also publicly argued that China must stick to its strict approach.
That strategy has involved mass testing, long quarantines and mostly closed borders. In addition to the social cost, the economic damage has been similarly substantial, with factories forced to shut and supply chains clogged.
Premier Li Keqiang has repeatedly warned of risks to economic growth, and the central bank is expected to cut its key policy interest rate for the second time this year on Friday and reduce the reserve requirement ratio within days to help bolster the economy.
Covid Zero has also added to tensions with the U.S., which this week ordered all non-emergency staff at its consulate in Shanghai to leave the Asian nation, prompting a spokesman at the nation’s Foreign Ministry to accuse Washington of “attacking and smearing” China.
(Updates with number of new cases in Shanghai in second paragraph.)

Bed Bath & Beyond signaled turbulence in the months ahead. It's already seeing a sales slump at its stores as shoppers struggle to find what they need there, and it anticipates that customers will continue to pull back their spending.
Related video above: Rising prices for gas, food squeeze U.S. consumers
The home goods chain on Wednesday said sales plunged 22% in its fourth-quarter ended March 31. Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond fell about 1% Wednesday.
The retailer blamed the drop on a mix of challenges that have cooled momentum at its stores, including products stuck at ports and ongoing supply chain holdups that created shortages of key items.
"We're seeing an emerging uncertainty related to consumer sentiment based on market and retail indicators that show a distinct slowdown in consumer demand," Gustavo Arnal, Bed Bath & Beyond's chief financial officer, said in a call with analysts Wednesday.
Sales at stores open at least a year have fallen 20% so far in the company's current quarter.
"We anticipate many of the operating dynamics we experienced in the fourth quarter, both industrywide and internal, to continue in the first quarter," he said during the call.
Bed Bath & Beyond's CEO Mark Tritton said the unavailability of certain products resulted in about $175 million of lost sales during the period, and that the retailer can't deliver on major items advertised in its circulars. He added that the company continues to experience high freight and shipping costs tied to ongoing global supply chain problems.
Weddings are a rare boost
If there is a bright spot, said Tritton, it is the company's wedding and baby categories.
The wedding industry is projecting a boom in 2022, with as many as 2.6 million weddings expected to take place this year, up from 2.2 million in 2019, prior to the pandemic.
A banner year for weddings will be welcome relief not just for brides and grooms, but for the entire industry and the retailers who cater to it and rely on it for revenue. The nightmare year of 2020 forced the cancellation or delay of a majority of weddings, and scores of businesses that rely on them for revenue were left struggling to survive.
Bed Bath and Beyond is a popular destination for wedding registries.
Tritton said during the call that the company is seeing an uptick in its wedding and baby business.
"I think that we see upward trends in wedding that everyone's expecting and want to capitalize on that. So early indicators through the back end of Q4 on creates bodes well," Tritton said.

I wish I hadn’t liked The Ultimatum. I wish I’d watched one episode, denounced it for the truly toxic viewing it so clearly is, and got on with my life.
But eight episodes later – with the much-anticipated finale and inevitable reunion, airing today, to come – here we are.
Reader, I devoured it. Practically whole, like a python dislocating its jaw to eat an entire human. (Which, come to think of it, is as good a metaphor as any for the relationship between the show’s producers and its unsuspecting participants.)
If you haven’t seen the latest Netflix reality sensation, here is the horrific premise: it takes a bunch of couples, where one partner is ready to get married while the other is not. The former has issued an ultimatum – marry me or lose me (or “sh*t or get off the pot”, if we’re being crass). To “assist” in the decision-making process, the six pairs – all young, fit and largely attractive – get to meet each other, date one another – and then pick someone else’s other half to live with for three weeks in a “trial marriage”. Having spent time with a new, shiny person – someone they haven’t had time to get bored of or be annoyed by yet, someone whose irritating habit of leaving the washing up for 10 days has yet to be discovered – they then move back in with their original partner for three weeks. At the end of this cohabitation period, they make a decision: marry their original partner; potentially marry the random person they met a month ago; or leave the “experiment” alone.
Spoiler alert: this does not go well for any of the original pairings. Funnily enough, taking a relationship that clearly already has some underlying cracks – hence the ultimatum being issued in the first place – and tossing in temptation in the form of sexy alternative options, does not seem to create stable couples. Who knew? (Well, apart from every relationship counsellor ever, plus anyone with a modicum of common sense or emotional intelligence.)
As abhorrent as it is, this OF COURSE all makes for great TV. The pain, the drama, the jeopardy of the high-stakes final decision: inject it directly into my veins, please. But aside from being addictive trash telly, I can’t help but think the entire premise speaks to a deeper underlying trend when it comes to relationships and young people: a reticence to settle down with one partner forever; and perhaps a shying away from monogamy entirely, in a culture where another swipe can always bring a potentially better option.
“Younger people are increasingly less likely to want to settle down as they’re valuing life-experiences over the traditional monogamy home set up,” agrees relationship expert psychologist and sex therapist Tatyana Dyachenko.
“Gen Z are certainly more pragmatic when it comes to sex, love and relationships than previous generations. They’re also having less sex compared to millennials and gen X.”
And it really is Gen Z we’re talking about when it comes to The Ultimatum. The couples on this hell-show are young. Painfully so. Every single person on the programme bar one is under 30, with most in their early to mid-twenties. One might argue, in that case, that it’s no wonder that half of the contestants have pre-emptive cold feet. But it goes deeper than that, argues Tatyana.
“Gen Z are more likely to find a partner that fulfills a certain need at a certain point in their life. They are not necessarily looking for long-term relationships,” she says. “Gen Z are less committed to finding a long-term partner than previous generations.”
She’s also seen a rise in both millennials and Gen Z engaging in consensual polyamorus relationships which include multiple partners; “Some are calling it a sexual revolution that has not been seen since the Sixties,” she adds.
The reason for this more relaxed view on relationships? It could in part be down to the unstable and unpredictable future facing young people as they contemplate the threat of climate change, struggle with financial instability and process the ever-changing goalposts presented by Covid-19, argues Tatyana.
“Generation Z is putting more emphasis on getting themselves on a solid footing before entering into a relationship with another person or persons,” she says.
But the rise in dating apps also has a part to play in Gen Z’s dating habits. Tatyana calls these apps “a tool that empower the younger generation to express their wants and desires in a very clear format, meaning they are less likely to compromise. They are more confident within themselves than previous generations and are less likely to settle for anything less than they believe they deserve.”
However, on the flipside, apps make it harder to pick one person and stick with them – a phenomenon sometimes called “decision fatigue”, “choice overload” or “decision paralysis”.
American psychologist and professor of social theory Barry Schwartz says in his book The Paradox of Choice: “If we’re rational, [social scientists] tell us, added options can only make us better off as a society. This view is logically compelling, but empirically it isn’t true.”
In fact, we get stressed out if too many choices are laid out in front of us – whether it be types of jam, pension options, or potential romantic partners. And, even when we do choose, “we end up less satisfied with the result of the choice than we would be if we had fewer options to choose from,” argues Schwartz. “I think dating sites are now the most common path for meeting romantic partners, and the overwhelming amount of choice that dating sites have created is a real problem.”
Whether this new-found sense of choice is a boon or a blight when it comes to modern dating may just be a matter of perspective. But in the case of our sweet, twenty-somethings on The Ultimatum – who by rights should be off somewhere making bad decisions and vomiting in their own handbags after a night out – I can’t help but think this trend for putting off settling down might just be the healthiest decision any of them could make.

ONALASKA, Wis. (WXOW) - Teams from Onalaska helped welcome athletes from across the globe to the 2022 World Track and Field Championship.
On Wednesday, Onalaska middle and high school cross country and track athletes ran from Irving Pertzsch Elementary to the Great River Landing and recorded a short video holding up banners and flags for the Marshall Islands and Micronesia.
This was a part of the World Wide Welcome Youth Relay where 240 organizations created videos for a montage opening the games this July in Eugene, Oregon.
The games will be held July 15-24. It's the first time the event will take place on U.S. soil.

Video shows dolphin attacking trainer during performance in Florida
MIAMI — A trainer was sent to the hospital after a performance at Miami Seaquarium went wrong.
A video posted to TikTok shows part of the Flipper Show performance at the aquarium. The video shows a dolphin suddenly turning violent, breaking from the performance and appearing to pull a trainer under the water.
A dolphin trainer was just attacked by Flipper. Police just arrived. :( #dolphinattack #miami #seaquarium
“The one trainer that was furthest away in the video, either kept getting hit by the dolphin or pulled down by the dolphin,” photographer Shannon Carpenter, who took the video, told WPLG. “The kids were cheering and thinking this was neat. You could tell the adults knew something was wrong.”
In a statement to WFOR, Miami Seaquarium said, “A dolphin and trainer accidentally collided in the water on Saturday while performing a routine behavior as part of the Flipper Show. This was an uncomfortable interaction for both of them and the dolphin reacted by breaking away from the routine and striking the trainer.” Miami Seaquarium said neither the trainer nor the dolphin was seriously injured.
Miami Seaquarium has been the subject of scrutiny before, with the United States Department of Agriculture releasing a 17-page report in June 2021 that cited serious animal welfare violations at the facility, WPLG reported.
In a statement addressing the incident, animal rights group PETA said, “Time is up for the Miami Seaquarium, where long-suffering dolphins desperately need protection and workers are at risk. PETA urges this abusement park to end its exploitation of dolphins by getting them to sanctuaries as quickly as possible, so that they’d never be used in tawdry shows again and no one else would get hurt.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Supreme Court on Wednesday reinstated the new state Senate map drawn up by Republicans this year in redistricting, ruling that a lower panel of judges didn't properly consider how blocking the map and extending the candidate filing deadline would harm elections officials and cause voter confusion.
The 4-1 ruling doesn't take a stance on the lower court's determination that the GOP-controlled General Assembly violated the state’s constitution by improperly numbering the new districts. Instead, the high court focused on timing arguments.
In last week's split decision to block the maps while the case proceeds, the lower court panel gave lawmakers 15 days to fix the maps or an “interim apportionment map” would be imposed. Meanwhile, the filing deadline for Senate hopefuls was pushed back to May 5. The order came the day before the April 7 deadline. The primary election in Tennessee is Aug. 4.
The Supreme Court ruled that the May 5 change presented “a significant delay on the election process in this state,” and the court reset the Senate filing deadline to April 14.
“We conclude that the trial court erred by granting the injunction because it failed to adequately consider the harm the injunction will have on our election officials who are detrimentally impacted by the extension of the candidate filing deadline, as well as the public interest in ensuring orderly elections and avoiding voter confusion,” Chief Justice Roger Page wrote in the majority opinion.
Tennessee’s constitution dictates that districts must be numbered consecutively in counties that have more than one. The newly drawn redistricting plan does not do that in Nashville’s Davidson County. The numbering matters because the four-year Senate terms are staggered, putting some district on the ballot in presidential election years, others in gubernatorial election cycles.
In dissent, Justice Sharon Lee wrote that there's enough supporting evidence that extending the deadline to May 5, which was meant to “remedy a constitutional defect," will give "election officials enough time to comply with other election deadlines, and it will not cause any disruption or voter confusion.”
Scott Tift, an attorney for the voters who filed the lawsuit funded by the state Democratic Party, said “the Tennessee Constitution is supposed to control how the Legislature draws new legislative districts.”
“Tennesseans will now go to the polls in 2022 under district maps the trial court deemed likely unconstitutional, simply because the Legislature waited until the last minute to redraw the maps,” Tift said in a statement.
A spokesperson for Republican Senate Speaker Randy McNally said he is pleased with the decision, calling the map “fair and legal.”
In the lower court panel's decision, the judges did not block the state House districts despite claims from plaintiffs that it divided more counties than needed to create districts with roughly equal populations, diluting the power of minority voters.
The map splits 30 counties, the maximum permitted for the state House.
A footnote in the ruling said the House map could still be blocked later on and the judges ordered a trial on the matter.

Vancouver’s Canada goose population is having a honking good time – too good of a time according to the parks and recreation board.
It’s asking people to help locate bird nests this spring, so it can addle the eggs and slow the Canada goose surge.
The problem, the board says, is that the birds are wreaking havoc on the city’s public spaces. They have a propensity for snacking on the youngest grass in newly seeded fields, digging holes with their beaks next to sprinklers and defecating in all manners of spaces. The droppings in turn can pollute outdoor pools and cause slips on sports field, according to the board.
The geese are also known to become aggressive during mating season.
Vancouver is home to several thousand of the creatures already, and the board says the city’s ideal climate and lack of predators means their numbers are only growing.
Upon locating nests, the board plans to replace laid eggs with addled ones that do not have reproductive capabilities.
Beyond helping to find the nests, people can also help by not feeding Canada geese. The board says supplemental feeding can result in the birds laying more than one clutch of eight eggs per season.
Nests can be reported to the City of Vancouver Parks and Recreation website. Wildlife feeding can be reported by calling 311.

GREENSBURG — The Historical Society of Decatur County annual dinner recently took place in the First Presbyterian Church basement.
History buffs, Historical Society members and fans of train history enjoyed the meeting with a meal prepared by the Presbyterian Women and a presentation by local train historian Larry Rueff.
Reuff, a semi- retired veterinarian, was born on a small farm south of Franklin but moved to Decatur County with his wife in 1979.
Rueff is a Purdue University graduate and practiced full-time for 40 years.
Trains are one of his many interests and the subject of his recently published book “A History of the Railroads in Decatur County, Indiana.”
He discussed his work and shared photos from his research concerning railroad history in the county while also offering anecdotes from years as a veterinarian and historian.
Headquartered at the Historical Society of Decatur County Museum, the organization and its museum in the Shannon-Lathrop home on Franklin Street in downtown Greensburg have an interesting history all their own.
According to the organization’s website (www.historicalsocietyofdecaturcountygreensburg.org/), the DCHS’s first charter in 1915 listed 205 members and was officially named the Decatur County Historical Society in 1924.
At that time, there was no specific location for artifacts and genealogy lists, but in 1928 the Greensburg School Board granted the Society the use of the third floor of the old West End School which stood on the northwest corner of Washington and Monfort streets.
The museum collection was quite extensive and housed many relics from the area. The Society remained active until the West School was slated to be razed so the new Billings Elementary School could be built on the site.
Between 1954 and 1959 there was no historical society, but the collections and genealogical records were still intact and kept in the third floor rooms of the Knights of Pythias building, above current businesses Mayasari and Denim and Honey.
In 1959,the Society was revived by a group of 11 county residents who met at the home of attorney William Woodfill. The group’s first meeting was held in March at Greensburg City Hall. Officers elected were Paul Huber, president; Mrs. E.A. Porter, vice-president; Mrs. Betty Woodfill, secretary; and J. Elwin Gibson, treasurer. Mr. Huber also served as editor of the Society’s Bulletin until he was succeeded by Mr. Van Batterton.
In November 1981, an anonymous donor gave the Shannon-Lathrop house (across the street from the Post Office) to the Historical Society. This property afforded a permanent location for the establishment and development of a significant addition to Decatur County’s historical and cultural assets because the Society now had more room to effectively display its growing number of artifacts and genealogical records.
Additionally, the house itself is a rare example of early 19th century architecture.
After 24 years of continued growth, both in the variety of artifacts and genealogical records, courtesy of another generous and unrestricted donation, the group’s Board of Directors were able build an addition to the Shannon-Lathrop house behind the original construction.
Careful planning for this significant project began in 2005 with the hiring of Thomas Gordon Smith as the architect and the firm of Bruns and Gutzwiller as the general contractors The construction of the addition, along with remodeling of the Shannon-Lathrop house, took the better part of two years. The addition consists of various display areas and an extensive genealogy and research library with an upstairs open gallery accessible by elevator and adaptable for a number of uses.
The Historical Society is taking the lead during the 2022 Bicentennial Celebration featuring presentations like “Recreating Historical Clothing” on April 30 in the museum gallery, a history of the influential Erdmann Cigar Dynasty on May 7, and a youth history camp “Decatur County Landmarks” on May 14.
The Historical Society will host township tours May 14 and 21, and on June 11 will take part in the official bicentennial parade.
An Historic Book Club meets at the museum at 2 and 7 p.m. the first Tuesday of the month, and Youth History camp meets at the museum the second Saturday of the month.
The Decatur County Historical Society Museum is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 1 to 4 p.m. the first Saturday of the month.
Volunteer opportunities for the museum are available on weekdays and for special events. Call Executive Director Carrie Shumaker at 812-663-2764 with questions or for more information.

Troy City Council approves re-roofing of Fire Station No. 1
Published 3:26 pm Wednesday, April 13, 2022
The Troy City Council unanimously approved the re-roofing of one of the city’s fire stations at the April 12 meeting.
According to Troy Fire Chief Michael Stephens, Fire Station No. 1’s roof has been leaking for years and every time one leak would be repaired another leak would pop up. He said that most rooms in the station had leaks in the roof and after meeting with a number of contractors a new roof was recommended.
The new metal roof will be placed over the current one along with a new gutter system by Gardner and Associates in the cost of $126,800, which was budgeted in this year’s budget.
Also, the council unanimously approved the demolition of the annex building behind the Johnson Center on Academy Street due to the building’s deterioration, which includes a collapsed roof. The city will look to repurpose the space in the future.
The council also approved the purchase of a trencher for the electric department at the cost of $97,268.20 to replace the city’s current, 15-year old trencher. The trencher will come to the city with a full warranty despite being a demo unit that was used for demonstrations, which allowed the city to purchase it at a discount of nearly $4,000.
The council also approved the re-zoning of two properties on Corman Avenue into commercial properties. This was the second reading of the resolution for this re-zoning and a public hearing was held with no residents choosing to speak against it. The council also read out a proposed re-zoning of a parking lot on Charold Drive behind the old Troy Messenger building, which Town and Country has purchased. The property is proposed to be re-zoned into a commercial zone from residential. A second reading of the resolution will be held at the next council meeting along with a public hearing. The council also held the first reading of a resolution to re-zone property on Elba Highway from residential to commercial property. A second reading and public hearing for this property will also be held at the next council meeting.
The council’s next scheduled meeting is April 26 at 5 p.m. in the council chambers at Troy City Hall.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Supreme Court has a new chief justice who will oversee the administration of the judiciary and act as an advocate for state courts at the legislature on budgetary and other matters.
Shannon Bacon was sworn in Wednesday to a two-year term as chief justice, a post that also involves coordination with the State Bar that sets professional standards for attorneys.
Bacon was appointed by Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in 2019 and won statewide election in 2020. She previously served nine years as a state district judge in the Albuquerque-based 2nd Judicial District.
Bacon already leads several high-court initiatives including a review of issues related to race and bias in the state’s justice system and efforts to promote diversity among judges and judicial employees. And she is active in efforts to improve eviction and foreclosure programs and reform the state's guardianship and conservatorship.
Bacon's years on the Supreme Court have been marked by webcast proceedings amid the COVID-19 pandemic, support for the governor's authority to impose sanctions under emergency health orders and an opinion upholding the Legislature's spending authority over federal pandemic aid.
Shannon was a dissenting voice in a Supreme Court decision allowing the Legislature to convene without in-person public access to the Capitol building in 2021.

SALADO, Texas (KXAN) — “That’s all I have left, just sighs,” Naomi Benavidez said Wednesday.
Bulldozers crunched through snapped trees and crumbled homes in Central Texas Wednesday, showing the impact of a bad storm. But it’s stories from people like Benavidez that show how a vicious tornado can change lives forever.
“She was picking up … holding onto her babies as much as she could,” Benavidez said.
According to Benavidez, her sister, her sister’s husband and their two kids are now in the hospital after a tornado tore through Salado Tuesday, about 50 miles north-northeast of Austin.
“The little girl — she had to hold onto her by her hair. They ended up getting lifted up from the trailer and just thrown into the trees,” Benavides said. “She was about three months pregnant; she lost her baby today.”
Benavides and other relatives are walking through the area, collecting what’s still worth saving.
“I want to say this is probably the laundry room door,” Benavidez said as she picked up a doorknob from the rubble.
Bell County Judge David Blackburn said the tornado tracked for eight miles, hurting 23 people. Twelve people ended up in the hospital. One was in critical condition as of Wednesday afternoon.
According to Bell County, the Cedar Valley tornado is a confirmed “high-end EF-3 tornado,” reaching a maximum wind speed of around 165 mph.
Sixty-three structures were damaged.
“We believe we have accounted for all individuals that were in the path,” Blackburn said.
Still, people are without power and water. One of the main priorities is getting that restored and making sure no one is buried under rubble, according to Blackburn.
“It is not, in any sense, a minor miracle. As you look at the devastation .. created [Tuesday] night, it’s hard to imagine that that didn’t occur,” Blackburn said.
Now, carried by their faith, Benavidez hopes for another miracle as she waits for their family to recover.
“This is going to be a slow process for everyone,” Benavidez said.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal Team for the deposed Assin North Member of Parliament (MP), James Gyakye Quayson’s says they vehemently disagree with the ruling by the Supreme Court restraining Mr. Quayson from holding him as MP for the area.
Speaking to the media after the Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, a member of the NDC legal team, Baba Jamal described the ruling as sad development for the constituents.
According to him, the ruling means the people of Assin North will be deprived of an MP for some period of time.
“The Supreme Court has given its ruling, but we vehemently disagree with their position. It is a sad day for all of us. What it means is that Assin North is also not going to have representation in Parliament for as long as this case lasts. That is a sad situation,” he stated.
Mr. Jamal further disclosed that “There are precedents in this country. We all remember the case in Ayawaso West Wuogon where the lady was allowed to be in Parliament until the final determination of the case.
"So we thought that the Supreme Court would consider that situation and allow the representation to continue. But our legal team will meet and officially know the next step to take.”
Background
The Supreme Court had on March 8, 2022, ordered the legislator to file his defence in the case after in a 6-1 ruling.
The apex court had held that, the MP has been sufficiently given notice of the case against him.
The Supreme Court has by a majority decision on Wednesday, April 13, 2022 ruled that the Member of Parliament for Assin North cannot continue holding himself out as a lawmaker for the constituency.
The Apex court in a 5-2 ruling said the application from the plaintiff Michael Ankomah Nimfah succeeds.
The seven-member panel of the Supreme Court said the MP is restrained from holding himself out as an MP for the area.
While Justice Agnes Dordzie and Nene Amegatcher dissented, Jones Dotse, as Court President, Prof. Henrietta Mensah Bonsu, Mariama Owusu, Gertrude Torkornoo, and Emmanuel Yonny Kulendi granted the application.
EIB Network’s Court Correspondent Murtala Inusah reports that the full ruling will be ready by close of day today Wednesday April 13, 2022.
