Cops are looking for a man who allegedly accosted a teenage boy on a Brooklyn subway platform last month and groped him before the boy could flee.
The NYPD released a photo of the suspect in the assault on Wednesday. He's described as being about 30 years old, around 5'5" and 130 pounds, with a medium build, last seen wearing a blue baseball hat, black face mask, black and gray hooded jacket, black shirt and blue jeans.
The attack happened just after 7 a.m. on May 19 at the 59th Street and Fourth Avenue station. According to the police account of the incident, a 17-year-old boy was standing on the platform waiting for a southbound R train when the suspect walked up to him and asked "How big?"
The suspect then allegedly pointed at the boy's crotch - and proceeded to forcibly grab it. The boy subsequently got on an arriving train and left the station.
Police said he was otherwise uninjured.
Anyone with information is being asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/how-big-teen-boy-accosted-groped-on-subway-platform-in-bizarre-encounter/3725092/ | 2022-06-08T13:54:50 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/how-big-teen-boy-accosted-groped-on-subway-platform-in-bizarre-encounter/3725092/ |
An MTA bus driver is facing criminal charges after the hit-and-run death of a 69-year-old man on Staten Island last month.
Patrick Varriale was attempting to cross at Platinum Avenue and Forest Hill Road at 4:30 a.m. on May 13 when an MTA bus struck him and continued down the road, police and city transportation officials said.
A preliminary investigation determined the 52-year-old bus driver did not remain at the scene, but was identified a short time later and questioned by authorities.
Late Tuesday night, the NYPD confirmed it had addressed the driver, Darrell Sweet, on charges of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and failure to exercise due care.

DeBary golfer Keith Greene earns spot in next week's U.S. Open: 'It's going to be surreal'
DeBary golfer Keith Greene was still “on Cloud Nine” Tuesday afternoon.
And why not? The previous day he’d qualified for next week’s U.S. Open, and to do so, he had to earn one of just 49 entries available at nine 36-hole qualifiers across North America.
And those 49 came from an original entry list of more than 9,000 hopefuls looking to tee it up in America’s oldest major championship.
“It’s overwhelming,” he said upon returning home from Jupiter, where he finished third, in a field of 70 at the Admirals Club, to earn one of four Open spots. “It’s just a huge accomplishment in my life.”
REVIEWING LEFTY:The Mickelson book offers some of the promised dirt, but plenty of good too | KEN WILLIS
FIRST INDY 500:They're right, you gotta see the Indy 500 to fully appreciate it | KEN WILLIS
The former Deltona High golfer, 29, shot 4-under 138 with rounds of 70-68 to finish solo third behind co-medalists Sean Jacklin and Ryan Gerard.
Brazilian amateur Fred Biondi was a shot back in fourth. Veteran PGA Tour star Rickie Fowler was among five golfers who were another shot back and below the cutoff — though Fowler earned first-alternate status.
Greene’s first round included two birdies and a bogey, while the second 18 included four birdies and a lone bogey, on his final hole, the par-4 ninth.
“The first round was just a lot of fairways and greens,” he said. “I didn’t hit anything close — a lot of 30-foot 2-putts for par. Just trying to feel it out. I figured if I got a good feel for it and kept myself in it, I was gonna have a chance at some point.
“I knew it would eventually come down to the putter, and it did in the second round.”
Greene gave much of the credit to newfound caddy Chase Berry, a fellow golfer who jumped on Greene’s bag at a regional qualifier at Shingle Creek in Orlando.
“I got some good reads from Chase on the greens,” Greene said. “He’s been so solid for me, and can read a green. Calm, cool and collected, he’s been a helluva fit.”
Greene has been a regular on the Florida minor-league circuits, and most recently had been competing on the West Florida Tour. In previous years, he’s competed some on the PGA Tour’s Canadian and Latin America Tours.
"I'd been seeing signs that my game was there," he said of recent efforts.
Now he’s off to Boston for the June 16-19 U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, an historic venue hosting its fourth-ever U.S. Open — its first was the 1913 championship won by Francis Ouimet and immortalized in the book and movie both titled “The Greatest Game Ever Played.”
“I’ve never played much in the Northeast,” Greene said. “It’s gonna be pretty new to me. I’m sure it’s gonna be a surreal week, but I’m gonna try to soak it all in.” | https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/sports/local/2022/06/08/one-9-000-u-s-open-hopefuls-debarys-keith-greene-earns-his-shot-brookline-ouimet-the-country-club/10000285002/ | 2022-06-08T14:02:30 | 1 | https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/sports/local/2022/06/08/one-9-000-u-s-open-hopefuls-debarys-keith-greene-earns-his-shot-brookline-ouimet-the-country-club/10000285002/ |
Nebraska Parkway will one day be a thoroughfare snaking through the south part of Lincoln.
Now, motorists know it as a state highway, Nebraska 2, but once the South Beltway opens — sometime next year — that will change.
The 9-mile stretch of Nebraska 2 that runs through Lincoln will be rerouted to the beltway, spanning from 120th Street on the east and U.S. 77 on the west.
That stretch of what is now Nebraska 2 will be relinquished to the city, and the small portion outside city limits to Lancaster County. That means the city will be responsible for maintenance of the bulk of the corridor, now the purview of the state.
The city handles snow removal, but is paid by the state, and the state is in charge of maintenance and repair.
That change will have a budget impact for Lincoln Transportation and Utilities, but Director Liz Elliott said she didn’t know yet how much.
As part of the relinquishment of the road, the state will pay the city about $10 million, primarily for necessary maintenance, as well as for new signage, Elliott told the City Council.
People are also reading…
The city will assess the road and decide which areas to prioritize for repair once the change happens. Exactly when that will be is still unclear.
Nine businesses and three Nebraska Department of Transportation buildings will — at some point — have to change their addresses. The other change — officials hope — is that much of the truck traffic that now shares that stretch of highway with Lincoln motorists will instead use the beltway.
TLC for bath house
An old swimming pool bath house is getting a mini face-lift.
Not the full-on renovation city Parks and Recreation Department officials would like to do at some point, but the old Muny Pool bathhouse near 23rd and N streets — which survived long after the city pool was closed and covered by a parking lot — is getting a new, accessible entrance and new doors on the west side.
Lincoln’s Municipal Pool opened in 1921 and closed in 1972, but the bath house remained, and its 1920s Spanish Colonial architecture earned it a historic designation from the Nebraska State Historical Society years later.
For years a parking lot on the east side was used by parents of young baseball players heading to Lewis Fields, but much of that lot disappeared when the Antelope Valley Project excavated the parking lot — including parts of the old pool basin underneath — to create the Antelope Valley channel.
That essentially made the west side of the building the new entrance and — as part of an agreement to keep the building under city ownership — the developer of the Telegraph District agreed to make an ADA-accessible entrance from the parking lot on the west side.
It’s taken a while, but that’s happening now, and when that work is done, the city plans to replace the boarded-up doors beneath the arches with glass doors, said J.J. Yost, manager of planning and construction for Parks and Rec.
For years the building has been used for storage and — for a number of years — Yost’s planning and construction division worked out of the building. The old showers are gone, replaced with drywall and an open area big enough to set up cubicles for office space, he said.
When Parks and Rec relocated to a building near the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department at 31st and O streets, the maintenance crew for Union Plaza remained stationed at the old building. Another city department has several people working there temporarily, Yost said.
Some day, Parks and Rec officials want to find a better use for the building, but first, they’ve got to find the money.
“We continue to think about and dream about what the long-term use of the building should be,” Yost said. “We haven’t figured that out yet.”
Recycling savings
Commodity prices for recycling materials are good these days, so the city is hoping to take advantage with a new contract with the Papillion-based Firstar Fiber.
The city rebid its contract, and Firstar, which had the previous contract, won the bid again, but under different terms.
Currently, the city pays a base rate of $60 per ton of recycling for Firstar to process and sell it, and the city budgets $420,000 a year, said Donna Garden, assistant director of Lincoln Transportation and Utilities.
With the new contract, the city’s cost will be based on market rate, which means right now it would pay $35 a ton.
The old contract, Garden said, meant the city didn’t assume any risk based on the commodity prices of recyclables, but it also didn’t benefit from the prices. Glass remains a flat rate.
“We’re looking at a pretty healthy market right now,” Garden said.
The four-year contract is not to exceed $1.68 million in four years, or $420,000 a year.
Last year, the city recycled 5,844 tons of mixed paper, newspaper, cardboard, plastic, steel and aluminum. Of that, 71% was cardboard.

STAFFORD, Va. — A Virginia man has been arrested after a sheriff’s office says he fired a handgun from a hotel balcony.
Deputies reviewed surveillance video and witnessed a group of people on the hotel balcony at 1:57 a.m. who appeared to be taking photos while holding a handgun. They stopped taking pictures at around 2:10 a.m. when the suspect took the weapon and leaned against the railing outside the second-floor room.
Despite not having any audio, deputies saw on the video what appeared to be a shell casing eject above the suspect’s head. The gun owner took back the weapon and the group dispersed, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies found the gun owner, but the person who fired it wasn’t in the room. When he returned, he was arrested and charged with reckless handling, brandishing, shooting in a public area and shooting in a no shooting zone.
Authorities said there were no apparent injuries. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-man-arrested-for-firing-gun-while-on-hotel-balcony/2022/06/08/041e93ac-e727-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html | 2022-06-08T14:06:03 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-man-arrested-for-firing-gun-while-on-hotel-balcony/2022/06/08/041e93ac-e727-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html |
NICHOLAS COUNTY, WV (WOWK)—On Wednesday, friends, family, colleagues and community members will gather to say goodbye to a Nicholas County Sheriff’s Deputy who was killed in the line of duty.
Deputy Tom Baker’s viewing will take place Wednesday, June 8 from 12 to 5 p.m. at the Summersville Armory and Conference Center. The funeral will start at 5:00 p.m.
13 News will have multiple reporters in Summersville, and we will live stream the service right here in this web story.
On Sunday, first responders and community members escorted Deputy Baker from Charleston back home to Summersville.
Nicholas County Sheriff William F. Nunley and Chief Paul Kutcher stood to salute Deputy Baker as the procession entered Nicholas County. The Department asked anyone that wished to do so to line the roadway on the berm from Powells Mtn. to Summersville. There were multiple flags held in honor as people stood by to pay their respects.
A candlelight vigil was also held on the Nicholas County Courthouse lawn on Sunday. The Sheriff’s Department asked that the community bring candles and stand with them as they remembered Deputy Baker.
On the evening of Friday, June 3, Deputy Baker, Cpl. J. Ellison and three others responded to a complaint about destruction of property in the Birch River area. A criminal complaint states deputies were advised the two suspects, Kelly and Richie Holcomb were allegedly “held up in a camper with a possible 9mm AR-15.”
The Sheriff’s Department says deputies pursued the two suspects and discharged a taser before the suspects began firing at the officers. Deputy Tom Baker was struck in the back, and Cpl. J. Ellison was shot in the leg. Deputy Baker was killed, and Cpl. J. Ellison was treated and released.
One of the suspects, Ritchie Holcomb was also killed.
The complaint states that Kelly was taken into custody around 8:26 p.m. The camper was then cleared for officers’ safety. Authorities say they then found Holcomb dead near the rear of the RV and allegedly in possession of a semi-automatic assault-style rifle. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/community-to-say-goodbye-to-west-virginia-deputy-who-was-killed-on-duty/ | 2022-06-08T14:14:19 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/community-to-say-goodbye-to-west-virginia-deputy-who-was-killed-on-duty/ |
FRANKLIN FURNACE, OH (WOWK) – On June 4th, Jeffrey Fields, Thomas Comberger, Clifford Morris, Aaron Brigeman, and Walker Pence, all inmates in the Star Community Justice Center, escaped.
According to Scioto County Sheriff’s Office, these men had some help from outside sources. Allie Angelo and her ex-husband Matthew Sladen allegedly came to the center during the inmate’s recreational time to help Angelo’s fiancée, Jeffrey Fields escape.
Angelo and Sladen allegedly gave the inmates wire cutters to make an opening in the fence.
The sheriff’s office, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and the Waverly Police Department found and arrested Angelo and Sladen, along with four of the inmates that night and the next morning.
As of Tuesday night, officials are still searching for the fifth inmate, Thomas Comberger. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call 9-1-1.
We did reach out to the center’s executive director Matt McClellan who says their facility is for inmates with non-violent criminal records who have served their prison sentences and are getting ready to re-enter society.
Sheriff David Thoroughman says the inmates are “low-level drug offenders” who were at the facility for “treatment, education, and job training.”
McClellan says the center allows anyone who spends up to six months there to be released into the community. However, these inmates could be facing more prison time.
After the incident, McClellan also says they are double-checking their security measures and making any needed changes to avoid another situation like this.
Those who have been arrested are being housed in the Scioto County Detention Center.
These cases will be presented to a Scioto County Grand Jury at a later date. The escapees will also face charges in their home counties. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/four-ohio-escaped-inmates-arrested-one-still-on-the-loose/ | 2022-06-08T14:14:25 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/four-ohio-escaped-inmates-arrested-one-still-on-the-loose/ |
UPDATE (9:25 a.m.) The state’s second witness is Sgt. Mike Knapp, who is with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office. He helped process the crime scene.
Knapp identified items of evidence through photographs from the scene to the court and the jury, including bullets, blood samples, a broken piece of Officer Johnson’s badge.
Photos also included pieces of Officer Johnson’s broken radio, handcuffs found on the opposite side of the road, the rest of the broken badge – still attached to Johnson’s outer vest in one photo – a police uniform collected at CAMC that was cut open “consistent with medical intervention,” and views of the crime scene from different angles.
Knapp also identified photos as Johnson’s neck gator, worn for COVID-19 purposes, that was “saturated with blood,” and had multiple holes. He says these holes are from where the bullet traveled through the layers as the fabric was “scrunched up.”
Kapp says six bullet cartridges were collected at the scene, three of which were consistent with those Johnson carried.
For its first witness on Wednesday, the state has called Dr. Richard Umstodt who testified about CPD Patrolman Cassie Johnson’s injuries and her death. He tended to Johnson’s injuries when she was brought into the emergency room.
CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK)—The trial for a man accused of killing a Charleston police officer continues at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday with another witness for the state.
Opening arguments began on Monday in the trial of Joshua Phillips, and witnesses started taking the stand for the prosecution on Tuesday.
Also on Monday morning, the court chose 14 jurors, two of whom will be alternates.
Before the final selection was made from that group, the attorney for Joshua Phillips again made a motion for a change of venue, claiming he cannot get a fair trial due to the public’s familiarity with the case.
Judge Jennifer Bailey again denied that motion stating that it was not whether the jurors were aware of the case, but if they were able to remain impartial and render a verdict based on the evidence in court. Bailey says to make her decision, she used other cases from across the state where publicity and public knowledge and opinion have come into question of whether the defendant was able to receive a fair trial in the county where the case occurred.
Phillips is accused of shooting and killing CPD Patrolman Cassie Johnson in December 2020. Johnson was shot in the line of duty while responding to a parking complaint on Dec. 1, 2020, and died of her injuries on Dec. 3, 2020.
On Dec. 12, 2020, Phillips was formally charged with first-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty to those charges in April 2021.
Phillips’ trial was previously scheduled to start back in March 2022, however, Judge Jennifer Bailey said at that time there were not enough jurors available to begin the trial. Judge Bailey also ruled that the case will remain in Kanawha County following a change of venue request from the defense. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/joshua-phillips-trial-day-3-live-updates/ | 2022-06-08T14:14:31 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/joshua-phillips-trial-day-3-live-updates/ |

(Note: Midland County Fire Marshal Justin Bunch has previously told the Reporter-Telegram that the county will not “enact a burn ban until our KBI is at or above 575.”) | https://www.mrt.com/news/local/article/NWS-Not-107-degrees-but-still-hot-17226044.php | 2022-06-08T14:37:16 | 0 | https://www.mrt.com/news/local/article/NWS-Not-107-degrees-but-still-hot-17226044.php |
Because Texas voters approved a greater homestead exemption (from $25,000 to $40,000) in May, that means less money coming into the school district for the 2022-23 school year – a $19.5 million decrease compared to what was expected just weeks ago.
District officials, however, don’t expect much of an impact to the money spent inside the classroom. In fact, they said the reduction of property tax revenue in this property-rich district means Midland ISD’s recapture payment will drop nearly $18.4 million (from $172.340 million to $153.944 million).
Total revenue is expected to reach $437.564 million, around a $21 million increase from the revised 2021-22 budget. Total expenditures are expected to hit $437.068 million – also an increase from $416.096 million.
“With the election of the homestead exemption increasing from $25,000 to $40,000, that means that exemption will reduce the revenue from property values,” Midland ISD Chief Finance Officer Darrell Dodds said. “That reduction in property values for Midland ISD means that we will be collecting less taxes on the property and that will reduce our recapture on the (maintenance and operations) side. But it also reduces how much per penny we had to pay on that. It's a great thing for our taxpayers that that is happening.”
Midland ISD board members heard Tuesday during a third budget workshop that the details were pretty much the same (other than the changes in property taxes and recapture). That includes more than $190 million dedicated to salaries and benefits (the largest expenditure in the proposed 2022-23 budget).
Other expenditures include:
- $3.222 million for campuses;
- $41.795 million for departments;
- $153.944 million for recapture; and
- $37.426 million for partnerships.
There also are no expectations of changes to the proposal for an increase to teacher pay (the starting pay is expected to increase to $58,500). Other district highlights expected are staff retention incentives of $1,000 per district employee and increases to the per-hour wages salaries to support staff and other MISD staff members, respectively.
And the taxpayer in Midland received more good news. Along with the increase in the state homestead exemption and the existence of a local homestead exemptions, a valuations increase is expected to drop the total tax rate from $1.0236 per $100 valuation to $0.9148, guaranteeing a decrease in the homeowners’ tax payment as the taxable value for a homestead cannot increase more than 10% a year.
Midland Central Appraisal District officials have previously told the Reporter-Telegram this spring that estimated residential valuations across the district will increase generally around 4 to 5% (some areas may see more and others less).
A public hearing on the budget and proposed tax rate is set for June 27. The board is scheduled to vote on the 2022-23 budget at that meeting. | https://www.mrt.com/news/local/article/Teachers-homeowners-to-benefit-from-MISD-s-17226356.php | 2022-06-08T14:37:31 | 0 | https://www.mrt.com/news/local/article/Teachers-homeowners-to-benefit-from-MISD-s-17226356.php |
With the second-highest COVID-19 death rate in the U.S., Arizona has suffered immensely over the past two-plus years. While Arizonans have kept their heads high and pushed on through the pandemic, the lasting economic impact of COVID-19 and the largest rise in inflation in 40 years remain huge barriers for families struggling with financial stability in our state.
While these challenges are daunting, there is one policy at our disposal that is proven to help Arizona families facing hard times. Our state’s political leaders should pay attention.
By reinstating the expanded monthly child tax credit, which expired earlier this year, 92% of all children in Arizona would benefit, and millions of families would see immediate relief from inflation. When it was in place, the payment provided Arizonan families with about $462 per month — significantly higher than the estimated cost of inflation, which currently adds $327 to families’ monthly bills. Voters remember that kind of impact.
The American Rescue Plan’s payments — up to $300 per month per eligible child under the age of 6 — were hailed as the “single best policy” of the Biden era. The payments not only lifted 109,000 Arizona children from poverty, they also reduced hunger among Hispanic families by a third and among Black families by a fourth. According to the Urban Institute, if the monthly payments were permanent they would decrease child poverty in Arizona by 43.6%.

That success rate is unheard of in social policy. But once the program expired, many Arizonan children who were lifted up, fell back into poverty.
As the cost of living increases, renewing the monthly payments would deliver much-needed help to over 2.3 million Arizona children and would especially benefit Arizona’s rural communities. A study from the Niskanen Center recently found that families living in rural areas received particularly outsized benefits from the expanded child tax credit. Additionally, a recent Columbia University study showed that monthly payments lift 30% more kids out of poverty versus an annual child tax credit payment.
Take Lupe Conchas, who works with low-income families across Arizona. He has seen firsthand how the pandemic disrupted his family’s way of life. He remembers the uncertainty of helping his younger sisters with their virtual classes when schools closed in March 2020. His mom had to make tough decisions to make ends meet and desperately needed a lifeline. In March 2021, Congress passed the Rescue Plan, and Lupe’s family became eligible to receive hundreds of dollars a month through the expanded child tax credit.
“My mom was able to buy groceries, pay the electric bill, and put gas in her car because she travels from the West Valley to northeast Scottsdale five times a week for work,” Lupe explained. His mom told him the monthly child tax credit gave her room to breathe.
Lupe isn’t just seeing his own family struggle. As Southwest Regional Organizer for Bread for the World, he works directly with parents and caregivers who, without the monthly payments, have to decide between food and electricity.
Not only is the CTC transformative for families, it’s also a winning political issue for candidates running for office. According to Data for Progress, over two-thirds (77%) of parents who received the monthly credit support the program but without the new child tax credit, voters made it known that they will take their vote elsewhere. Moreover, research shows that 63% of Arizona voters support expanding the child tax credit
The monthly child tax credit was an overwhelming success. They cut poverty and reduced hunger, and if we renew them they would cover the cost of inflation. Arizona’s political leaders would be on the right side of the policy and the politics if they would support renewing the monthly child tax credit payments this year.

This year for Father’s Day I want a Javelin missile. Your father probably wants one, too. Really, when most fathers see the Ukraine military shooting Javelins on TV they secretly tell themselves, “I want one of those, or maybe two.” Your dad’s done so much for you, he deserves more than the usual socks and underwear. Get him a Javelin.
I’m planning to take my Javelin out for walks. When I see an abandoned washing machine or refrigerator, or a Russian tank, I’ll blow it up. My kids say this doesn’t sound safe. They ask, “what if the Javelin falls into the wrong hands?” I tell them I’ll be careful. And I have a safe place to hide the Javelin under my bed.
Somebody told me Americans aren’t allowed to have Javelins. That’s not true. When our Founding Fathers composed the Constitution they chose their words very carefully. Like when they said an African equals only three-fifths of a European. The Founders said we have the right to bear arms. When they said “arms” they obviously didn’t mean the single-shot muskets and pistols of their day. If they meant that, they would have said so. They used the word “arms” as a catchall for any weapons developed in the future, forever, until the end of time. And that includes Javelins.
People are also reading…
To assure my kids it would be OK to buy me a Javelin I emailed Sen. Ted Cruz. He wrote back, “For crying-out-loud, we’ve been handing out Javelins like candy to Ukrainians as young as 18, so of course you can have a Javelin for Father’s Day. They make a nice gift for high school graduations, too.” As always, Senator Ted is 100% correct.
Lately, I just laugh when I hear people arguing about assault rifles and high-capacity ammunition magazines. Let’s face it, assault rifles are for losers. They’re no good for hunting and nobody needs a high-capacity magazine for target practice. All they’re good for is shooting school kids and shoppers. When the Founders enshrined the right to bear arms they wanted our weapons to preserve our freedoms. But if a Russian tank comes clanking down your street and you try stopping it with your assault rifle the Russians will just think you’re funny. Then they’ll kill you. Likewise, your assault rifle won’t keep the local police from telling you to put your pitbull on a leash. Even if you shoot at the police, they’ll come back. They always win in the end. That’s why we need Javelins. If you have a Javelin, the cops will think twice before infringing on your dog’s freedom. Russians won’t bother you, either.
So, I’m keeping my fingers crossed and wishing for a Javelin, or two, this Father’s Day. And when Christmas rolls around I hope to find a small nuclear bomb wrapped beneath my tree.

I love Tucson. It breaks my heart when I drive down the street and see all the garbage.
I have lived in the Tucson mountains for 40 years and came here to attend the University of Arizona. Silverbell Road has garbage strewn about, as does Randolph Park, Valencia Road, and garbage is littered all over the city. I am aghast that no one is cleaning it up, as happens in Marana and Oro Valley and the Foothills.
Where are the people that are employed by the city to clean up garbage? Is Tucson now the city of garbage?
Look around. Tucson is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I have enjoyed the culture, the kindness, the incredible restaurants, the Native American population, the variety of artists and the culture of music and theater here. My mind was broadened and enriched by my years at the University of Arizona. I found the campus to be incredibly beautiful and the desert here is enriching my soul every day.
I cannot tell you how sad I feel when I drive down the road and see garbage. There is no excuse for it. I believe, before the virus, we had people cleaning up the roads. Now, there is an absence of that and it is starting to look like a city where no one cares. If you take the time to look around in the various communities in Tucson, Oro Valley is impeccable, Marana is persnickety, the Foothills are very clean, but the city of Tucson and the surrounding areas of Silverbell Road are strewn with garbage.

I am impassioned with wanting our community to be incredibly beautiful. I clean the garbage up in my neighborhood, but the amount of garbage in the city at this point is incredibly overwhelming.
I am writing this to give a voice to something that I feel is vitally important to the growth and beauty and energy of the Tucson community. I have lived here and loved here and raised my children here. I have appreciated the beautiful sunsets and walks in the desert on a daily basis.
I am in awe of the grace and beauty of our community. Hence, I would strongly appreciate with our tax dollars if the city of Tucson would start employing people to clean up the garbage before it is so out of control that there is no going back.
I feel strongly that with our tax dollars we can beat this and become a beautiful city again that we can be proud of. Please, city of Tucson, generate some funds so we can have our city beautiful again.

Knoxville cop who was driving 90 mph without lights or siren when he killed driver has quit
Officer Cody Klingmann, who was blazing down Kingston Pike at 90 mph without emergency lights or siren when he plowed into a car and killed its driver, has resigned rather than be fired, a Knoxville Police spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.
Klingmann and officers Jasmine Reed and Adam Rosenbaum were speeding to a call about a potential burglary at 3 a.m. Aug. 13 when the crash happened. None of them had their emergency lights or sirens on, which is against state law and department policy.
Mauricio Luna, 27, and his 3-year-old husky, Ceci, were on their way to visit his girlfriend for a long weekend out of state when he was killed in the collision.
More:Mauricio Luna, who was hit and killed by police officer, was quiet but he 'loved hard'
Klingmann’s resigned yesterday. KPD spokesperson Scott Erland confirmed Knox News' reporting but did not immediately respond to a list of questions.
Klingmann remained on active duty, though not on patrol, after the wreck as Knox News published multiple reports about the incident. It is not clear when or if he was ever pulled from active duty. It is also not clear what punishment, if any, Reed and Rosenbaum face.
The crash had been under investigation by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, and KPD's internal affairs unit, called IAU by police, also investigated.
A hearing on the case was scheduled based on the findings of the internal affairs unit, Erland wrote in an email. "The IAU case has not been officially closed, but it is nearing that point and the file will be made available for public release at that time."
The officers were traveling from near West Town Mall to S&S Cafeteria, responding to a call about an in-progress burglary. A caller reported seeing two men trying to get into the business, one possibly armed with a crowbar.
Reed was the first to pass Luna and his husky Ceci as they waited to turn left onto Kingston Pike from Cheshire Drive. Klingmann trailed Reed by 100 yards and Luna never saw him.
More:DA blames driver for 'failure to yield' when he was killed by cop speeding without lights, siren
As Luna tried to turn left onto Kingston Pike, Klingmann slammed into Luna’s driver-side door traveling 81 mph, according to DA's report. Luna likely died instantly. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The story riled the city after Knox News reported the Knox County District Attorney's Office declined to charge Klingmann, instead saying Luna was partially to blame because he failed to yield.
The DA's office said that although Klingmann was traveling exceptionally fast and didn’t have his lights or siren on, those two factors “did not create a risk of such nature and degree that injury or death was likely and foreseeable."
The DA's office also put some of the blame on Luna, saying that "when he failed to yield and pulled out directly in Klingmann’s path" he created "the likely and foreseeable risk of death.”
Luna’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city seeking $3 million in damages. Claudia, Luna’s mother, said she hopes the lawsuit will help prevent another family experiencing a senseless loss. | https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/2022/06/08/knoxville-cop-who-hit-killed-driver-going-90-mph-with-no-emergency-lights-or-siren-resigned/7551499001/ | 2022-06-08T14:49:28 | 0 | https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/2022/06/08/knoxville-cop-who-hit-killed-driver-going-90-mph-with-no-emergency-lights-or-siren-resigned/7551499001/ |

More than 500 5th-graders from around Herkimer County are learning about a number of everyday safety issues that range from bicycle safety to live powerlines. Fire safety is an everyday concern, but maybe even more so now with the wide use of cell phones. Steve McMurray is the president of the Frankfort Fire Department, and talked about the fire hazard charging cell phones can present.
"A lot of these kids now have cell phones right, and cell phones have lithium ion batteries in them. You see studies across the country where cell phones that are charging, they become very hot, and they catch a pillow or a blanket (on fire) because a kid has it underneath a pillow. Incredibly dangerous," he said.
Herkimer County is fairly rural, so it’s not uncommon for children to come in contact with ticks. These students are learning about what ticks are, how to identify them, and safely remove them. Sarah Thomes is the supervising community health nurse for the Herkimer County Public Health Department. She knows how important it is to show these 5th-graders how small these ticks can be and how dangerous an untreated tick bite can be.
"Lyme disease is pretty prevalent in the Northeast at this moment, and it seems to be growing, and there are additionally many other tick borne illnesses that are potentially more severe than Lyme disease as well going around," Thomes said.
You can find ticks in tall grass, but you’ll also find 5th-graders mowing that tall grass down, so Cazenovia Equipment Company's RTD Manager Erick Haas is teaching the kids all about the dangers of lawn mowing.
"You want to have safety be a muscle memory for them. Alright so when they’re getting into this, they’re learning to do it. It’s going to stick with them from a young age," Haas said.
The students are being exposed to a number of safety issues, but how much of this knowledge are they really taking away? West Canada Valley Student Tucker Hopsicker learned about a tractor’s power take off device. "You should not go near a PTO because your clothing could get caught. Then you could go around and around, and then you’ll get really, really hurt."
Mt. Markham Elementary School Student Taylor Deak learned not to leave her phone charging in her bed. "You can’t put it under your pillow or under your blanket because your blanket might catch on fire, and like there’s like a low chance of getting out safely," she said.
West Canada Elementary School 5th Grader Kimberly Carter plans on keeping all her digits. "How much damage gears can do if you get your fingers stuck in them."
Mt. Markham Elementary School Student Niala Lunny now knows how dangerous water can be. "I’ve learned about lifeguards and stuff and like pool safety."
So whether it’s dangerous plant life, or keeping ten feet from powerlines, National Grid CMS Supervisor Kurt Ackerman knows the lessons taught could last them a -longer- lifetime. "They’ve maintained that message, and that’s key, and if we could just make sure one person, you know one of these kids is safe someday, it was worth our time and energy." | https://www.wktv.com/news/local/farm-home-safety-day-in-herkimer-county-teaches-kids-to-be-cautious/article_beea53c2-e6a7-11ec-97d0-638f2147e2b2.html | 2022-06-08T15:14:34 | 0 | https://www.wktv.com/news/local/farm-home-safety-day-in-herkimer-county-teaches-kids-to-be-cautious/article_beea53c2-e6a7-11ec-97d0-638f2147e2b2.html |
CLARKSVILLE, Ark. — As storms swept into Arkansas, a lightning strike caused a tornado siren to go off in Clarksville, but it was a false alarm.
According to Clarksville Mayor David Rieder, lightning struck the county dispatch office just before 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 8.
There were no tornado warnings at that time the sirens went off.
Rain and storms are expected to continue moving into Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley on Wednesday.
No other information has been released at this time.

Five kids living at a Long Island youth facility are now facing charges after window-smashing break-ins at a series of Syosset businesses on Tuesday.
Nassau County Police responded to the area of Cold Spring Road for a report of glass breaks at a long list of businesses, including a bakery, a dry cleaner, a sushi place, a pharmacy and a wine shop.
The investigation ultimately ended up at the Mercy First facility on Convent Road, where cops arrested five teens.
A boy and a girl, both 16, now face eight counts of burglary in the third degree and will be arraigned Wednesday. Police said the boy was previously arrested on May 31 and June 3 on other burglary charges.
Three more kids - a girl, 15, and two boys, 14 - also face eight counts of third-degree burglary and will be due in Family Court later this month.
The arrests are once again drawing attention to Mercy First, which has seen a massive increase in runaways in recent years.
In the first nine months of 2021, more than 180 ran away from the facility for abused and neglected kids, more than double the number from the year prior. Over the last month, Nassau County authorities have publicly reported at least another dozen instances of kids going missing.
Local
Under pressure from neighbors and local authorities to do more, the facility released a statement last year saying “we work closely with local authorities to ensure that the children place here can benefit the mot from our care, remain safe and when they leave campus, return safely.” | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/5-kids-from-li-youth-facility-arrested-for-window-smashing-burglary-spree/3725242/ | 2022-06-08T15:26:33 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/5-kids-from-li-youth-facility-arrested-for-window-smashing-burglary-spree/3725242/ |
Every month, like clockwork, Renee Steiber got formula delivered to her home in the Chicago suburbs for her 11-year-old son, Owen. He has a feeding tube and needs a specialized formula, Neocate Jr., due to a rare disease that makes him severely allergic to a variety of foods.
In March, her usual distributor said it didn't have any of that Nutricia product in stock and didn't know when it would get more.
Steiber had five days of formula left.
"I spent hours calling Walgreens and CVS, and I was calling manufacturers," she said. Still, she had no luck.
She and her husband were finally able to find some of Owen's formula online.
"The prices were way up," Steiber said. "It's really sad when you are talking about meeting a child's basic needs, that people will take advantage of the situation and increase the prices."
But they were out of options -- and although the formula is ordinarily covered by insurance, in this case, they had to shell out almost $1,000.
State attorney general offices across the country told CNN that they have received complaints about people who are taking advantage of a nationwide formula shortage to charge inflated prices.
In May, President Biden asked the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to crack down on unfair market practices around formula, including price gouging. The White House said there were several reports that people were purchasing formula and reselling it online "at a markup several times the retail price," especially on specialty brands of formula.
That's exactly what Shemaka Henderson encountered in Atlanta. She has only days left of the special hypoallergenic formula she gives her 5-year-old son, Omarea Terry II, who has dozens of food allergies. His dentist put out a call for help on social media last week, and people have donated a few cans, but Omarea uses a can a day.
Henderson has been on a perpetual hunt for formula since February, when her usual supplier warned her that it didn't know when it would get more in stock.
The formula Omarea uses, Abbott's EleCare Jr, wasn't part of the company's recall in February, but it got caught up in the shortage after US Food and Drug Administration inspectors found "insanitary" conditions at the Michigan plant. The plant restarted production last weekend and is making EleCare products first, but these additional products won't be available until around June 20.
Omarea's pediatrician switched him to Enfamil's Puramino Jr. Henderson had trouble finding that one, too.
She finally found some online and was willing to pay more than she usually would, but some of the prices have been outrageous, she said.
One woman offered it at $40 a can. As the Steibers found, this sale wouldn't be covered by insurance, like the formula she gets from a distributor.
"But I thought to myself, what choice do I have?" Henderson said.
When she met with the woman, she was told that the price had gone up -- to $100 a can.
"I told her I couldn't do that," Henderson said. Instead, she continues to search.
"Unfortunately, I'm one of those people that have no choice, because it's either feed my child or take them to the hospital, and I don't want to take him to the hospital," Henderson said.
States try to stop price-gouging
Many states have cracked down on price-gouging.
In late May, New York Attorney General Letitia James warned more than 30 online and brick-and-mortar stores to stop charging unreasonably high prices or face legal consequences. Under the state price-gouging law, businesses can be hit with tens of thousand of dollars in fines.
"It's unconscionable that some retailers are taking advantage of the national baby formula shortage while parents are struggling to find food for their children," James said in a statement.
Some states have declared states of emergency so price-gouging laws can go into effect. But parents and caregivers don't have as many options in places that have not declared states of emergency for formula.
South Carolina and Connecticut have warned parents to be on the lookout for scams and encouraged them to report problems with online sellers to the state.
This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order that established consumer protections against price gouging on baby formula. The ordinance prohibits the sale of formula at a price that would be more than 10% greater than the price families used to pay prior to the shortage, February 17.
In Indiana, Katlyn Milligan, a spokesperson for the attorney general's office, said the General Assembly would have to change the law to let it regulate anything more than fuel price-gouging.
"There is a fine line between gouging prices and supply-and-demand issues," Milligan wrote in an email. "When a complaint comes in, it must meet specific criteria to trigger an investigation. We stand ready to fight for Hoosier families and do what we can under our authority."
Colorado's governor issued a state of emergency late last month. The attorney general's office there said it is monitoring for possible price gouging and "will act if appropriate."
Georgia, which declared a state of emergency through mid-June, is also monitoring the situation. Businesses that violate the state price-gouging law can be fined up to $5,000 per event.
With New Jersey's state of emergency, those found in violation of the price-gouging law can be fined $10,000 for the first offense. Residents have been encouraged to complain if they see a problem, and they've filed 16 complaints as of mid-May. Half of the calls came before the state of emergency was enacted in mid-May.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency over the formula shortage May 22, empowering the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to fight price-gouging.
"The nationwide infant formula shortage has caused unimaginable pain and anxiety for families across New York -- and we must act with urgency," Adams said in a statement.
North Carolina's attorney general's office has encouraged people to report products that have "egregious or unreasonably excessive prices" and is investigating about 15 complaints. One came from someone who said they saw a can of formula for sale for $158.75 online. Others reported seeing formula sold for double the usual price.
Mississippi said it had gotten one complaint and notified Facebook, where the product was being sold, and asked it to take corrective action. Facebook told CNN that it does not allow the sale of baby formula on Marketplace. "Like other platforms for buying and selling goods, there may be instances where some people sell prohibited items on Marketplace whether they realize it or not. We work to find and remove these listings and encourage people across our platforms to report behavior that may break our rules," Ashley Settle, a spokesperson for Meta, Facebook's parent company, said.
Best practices for buyers
Although businesses or individuals charged with price gouging could differ from state to state, most states are encouraging residents to be cautious and advising them to buy formula from reputable merchants rather than pop-up sellers when possible.
Parents and caregivers also should do some research to see if a price may be too good to be true. When researching an unfamiliar company, search for their name with the words "scam" or "complaint." Any company that has only positive reviews may also be a red flag.
The South Carolina attorney general's office recommends that people buying formula use a credit card, rather than cash, to get an extra layer of protection.
Henderson will continue to search the internet for formula for her son, but she said it makes her really sad to see inflated prices.
"I don't understand how people can take advantage of this, with this price-gouging. We've been hit extremely, extremely hard. It's been hard. It's been painful," she said. "I don't know what I'm going to do."

Another day, another record for US gas prices.
The US average for the price of a gallon of regular gas hit $4.96 according to the most recent reading from AAA Wednesday. It marked the 12th straight day, and the 29th time in the last 30 that gas has set a record in America.
For much of the country, $5 gas is already here.
There are now 17 states with averages of $5 or above. Idaho, Ohio and Pennsylvania became the latest states to cross that threshold. The highest priced state remains California, with a state average of $6.39 a gallon.
The statewide average rose by at least a penny in every state but Florida, where prices remained essentially unchanged. And as of Tuesday, 29% of the nation's 130,000 gas stations were already selling gas for more than $5 a gallon.
And the worst is yet to come for drivers.
With the summer travel season just getting underway, demand for gasoline, coupled with the cut-off of Russian oil shipments due to the war in Ukraine, is sending oil prices higher on global markets.
The national average for gasoline could be close to $6 by later this summer according to Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for the OPIS, which tracks gas prices for AAA.
"Anything goes from June 20 to Labor Day," Kloza said about the demand for gas as people hit the road for long-anticipated getaways. "Come hell or high gas prices, people are going to take vacations,"
While the United States has never imported significant amounts of oil from Russia, the commodity is traded on global markets, and Europe was greatly dependent on Russian exports. The EU's recent decision to ban oil tanker shipments from Russia as sent oil prices soaring on those global markets.
The price of a barrel of crude is now above $120 a barrel, up from just less than $100 a month ago, And prices continued to climb in early trading Wednesday. Goldman Sachs predicted the average price for a barrel of Brent crude, the benchmark used for oil traded in Europe, will be $140 a barrel between July and September, up from its prior call of $125 a barrel.
There are stations and states where gas is cheaper. About 20% of stations nationwide still are selling gas for less than $4.50 a gallon. But even in many states where gasoline is cheaper, such as Mississippi, lower average income can mean drivers have to work longer to fill-up their tanks than in some high gas price states such as California.
How much are drivers willing to pay before they cut back on driving? So far the number of gallons pumped at stations in the last week of May was down only about 5% from the same week a year ago, even though gas prices rose more than 50% during the same period. The number of US trips by car has slipped about 5% since early May, according to mobility research firm Inrix, although those trips are still up about 5% since the start of the year.
The concern is that consumers will cut back on other spending to keep driving the miles they want or need to drive, which could drive an economy already showing some signs of weakness into recession.

ORANGEBURG COUNTY, S.C. — Timothy Brown has graduated from South Carolina State University at the age of 77. He says this journey has been a long road.
“It could be a lesson for maybe the next person to see how a 77-year-old can, you know, if I can do it, anybody can do it, trust me," said Brown.
Brown is a military veteran who served in the Vietnam War. In 1972, he dropped out of Compton Community College. For more than four decades, education took a back seat to his job as a bus driver.
“It’s like a ministry where you’re helping folk with their lives," Brown said. "That’s the most rewarding thing, I think, just to be able to be there for people and help them get back and forth."
For years, Brown drove for Greyhound, and was even called to drive B.B. King and his band on tour.
“I just happened to be sitting there when the call came in," Brown said. "That’s how I met my wife, because had I not worked for King, I would’ve never ended up in New York to meet my wife."
In 2018, Brown joined the Department of Veteran Affairs' Vocational Rehab program, which allowed him to attend SC State while still working. He received his degree in drama.
“Like my wife said, ‘I finally finished something, and it feels good.”
While in the program, he wrote a play based on his experience driving a Greyhound bus for thousands of miles from California to Washington D.C. to see Martin Luther King Jr.'s last march.
“That was probably the most rewarding because when he finished his speech, he came into the crowd and was shaking everybody’s hand, and we just happened to be in his path."
Brown is working on a proposal to present to South Carolina State University to move forward with production. The goal is to bring the play to the stage next year. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/77-year-old-military-veteran-graduates-sc-state/101-7a99d44a-f971-478a-a565-127bf4a63d3f | 2022-06-08T15:30:16 | 0 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/77-year-old-military-veteran-graduates-sc-state/101-7a99d44a-f971-478a-a565-127bf4a63d3f |
ATLANTA — MARTA will hold a job fair on Thursday in another effort to resolve a driver shortage that has plagued the transit agency for months.
The shortage is not unique to MARTA. There has been a nationwide transit driver shortage since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Atlanta, the issue has caused trip cancelations and delays.
“I’ve waited an hour for a bus that didn’t show,” MARTA passenger Kingston Palmer said. “You have to get up two hours ahead of time just in case it doesn’t come and you can find another way to work or whatever you have to do.”
Luckily, the situation is improving. Since November, MARTA has reduced the number of vacancies from 187 down to 140. Through job fairs and an offer of a $3,000 signing bonus, MARTA has found a group of new drivers preparing to go on the road.
“We've got 150 operators in the pipeline,” Peter Bruno, senior director of operations, planning, and controls at MARTA said. “When I say pipeline, that means they're in their safety, certification, and driving classes.”
That training will take several more weeks.
Bruno said MARTA is on track to be back to full staff by August, but said the authority could continue to lose drivers to retirement or other reasons.
“Typically any given month we lose about 3% or so of our operators,” Bruno added. “So, we've got to cover that, but now we've got to cover above.”
MARTA is covering the cost for the training required to get a Commercial Driver’s License that transit drivers need.
Thursday’s job fair is at MARTA headquarters at 2424 Piedmont Rd, NE, in Atlanta from 3 p.m.- 7 p.m. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/marta-driver-shortage/85-420dad83-3fcc-4f8c-bfec-de24230664ba | 2022-06-08T15:35:19 | 0 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/marta-driver-shortage/85-420dad83-3fcc-4f8c-bfec-de24230664ba |

FAIRFAX, Va. — Three people were found fatally shot behind a barricaded bedroom door at a Virginia apartment on Tuesday, police said.
The three people, believed to be in their 20s, were the only people in the bedroom at the time of the shooting, Fairfax County Executive Deputy Police Chief Brian Reilly said at a news conference. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/police-3-found-fatally-shot-in-barricaded-bedroom/2022/06/08/fa1227d6-e73d-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html | 2022-06-08T15:37:18 | 0 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/police-3-found-fatally-shot-in-barricaded-bedroom/2022/06/08/fa1227d6-e73d-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html |
A man is dead and another is in custody following a shooting early Wednesday near Fort Harrison in eastern Henrico County.
Henrico police received a call at 2:57 a.m. from a caller who indicated someone had been shot. The shooting occurred along Picnic Road near Battlefield Park Road, which leads to Fort Harrison.
Upon arrival, officers located the victim and provided first aid; a man believed involved in the shooting was detained.
The victim was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died. His identity is being withheld by police until relatives can be notified.
Police did not identify the man taken into custody or announce whether charges have been filed. Investigators are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.
Because the shooting occurred on U.S. National Park Service property, Henrico police will conduct an investigation while coordinating efforts in conjunction with the park service, said police spokesman Lt. Matt Pecka.

CROWN POINT — According to one of the summa cum laude speakers at Tuesday’s Crown Point High School commencement, this year’s senior class survived two major challenges — a pandemic and senioritis.
Speaking in a packed CPHS football stadium, Joshua Lewandowski said, “Our class will undoubtedly come to do great things. … Be anxious to go out and succeed. Find your home, and never let it go.”
Fellow summa cum laude speaker Kaitlyn Chandler added this life lesson: “Never forget how capable you are. Every small change you make will create who you are. Don’t stop until you become that person. One small step can lead to some pretty amazing things.”
A future chemical engineering student at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Chandler said the past four years “seemed like they came so fast,” adding that she used meditation to get through the pandemic.
The 650 CPHS graduates chose teacher-coach-mentor Brett Thompson for the faculty address. He asked the graduating seniors to consider the full magnitude of being a high school graduate.
Thompson cited these students’ devotion to time, effort, commitment and learning from mistakes while becoming young adults in a pandemic.
“Everyone had to survive adversity,” the faculty member said, noting how these students faced “an incredible level of adversity to achieve greatness.”
Thompson encouraged students, “Never forget that you are an incredible gift to this community. The world is a better place because you are in it. Continue to seek out the greatness that is in you.”
Prior to their school’s 140th commencement, students reflected on the past two years.
"It’s nice to have a normal graduation,” said Meredith Donovan, who’ll study economics and psychology at Yale University.
Vincent Badali, who plans to study political science at the University of Notre Dame, said, “This is the first time we’ve been together. It’s really special.”
As to getting through COVID-19, Badali added, “There was this sense of community that helped keep me on track.”
Other students thanked family, friends and faculty for their support.
Faith Serratos, who’ll study paramedic science at IUPUI, said she survived by “hanging out with friends on weekends and listening to a lot of music.”
Lucas Dannels wants to study biology and do research at Indiana University Bloomington. His goals motivated him to excel, and he has more work ahead.
“If I work hard on my career choice, it will come closer to my dreams,” he said.
Luke Sherman, who will be an educational studies and classical humanities major at Xavier University in Cincinnati, noted: “I made sure studies came first, but I left time for myself, so I would not go crazy.”
“My friends helped a lot, kept me motivated,” said Patricia Eliscupides, who will pursue exercise science at the University of Indianapolis.
Bound for statistics study at the University of Michigan, Nikki Gerodemos offered underclasssmen this advice: “Enjoy high school. It goes by way too fast.”

GRIFFITH — Shots were fired, but no one was injured in an attempted robbery that occurred in Griffith on Monday.
Officers responded to reports of an attempted robbery at a business in the 800 block of East Ridge Road just after 3 p.m., Monday. According to police, employees stopped the male suspect as he tried to enter the store. The suspect then fired a handgun into the floor of the business before running from the scene.
No injuries were reported.
The suspect was described as wearing a black winter coat, a ski mask and a glove on one hand.
Griffith, Highland and Munster police searched the area, but were unable to locate the suspect.
Police are asking anyone with information on the suspect or the incident to contact Detective Al Tharp at 219-924-7503, extension 252. Anonymous messages can also be left on the Griffith Police Department Tip Line at 219-922-3085. | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/gary/griffith-police-search-for-suspect-in-attempted-robbery-where-shots-were-fired/article_b104808c-de2b-51a9-bb4c-efa5ad642476.html | 2022-06-08T15:54:31 | 0 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/gary/griffith-police-search-for-suspect-in-attempted-robbery-where-shots-were-fired/article_b104808c-de2b-51a9-bb4c-efa5ad642476.html |

Authorities are investigating after a masked man rammed a stolen truck into a northwest Lincoln car dealership, gaining and entry and stealing another truck, according to police.
Lincoln Police Capt. Todd Kocian said an employee at LAX Auto, 400 Cornhusker Highway, reported the theft around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday.
Surveillance footage showed a masked man exit the 2007 Ford F-250 that he had used as a battering ram around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday before grabbing the keys to a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and leaving in that truck, Kocian said.
The Ford was reported stolen Monday near 25th Street and Wildcat Drive, Kocian said.
The stolen Chevy, which Kocian said is white with black rims and is worth $52,900, was last seen headed east on Cornhusker Highway.
Tom Casady's list of the 10 most infamous crimes in Lincoln history
Crimes of the times
This is simply one man’s perspective from the early 21st century (first written in 2010). I had to make a decision about crimes that occurred at locations that are inside the city today, but were outside our corporate limits at the time they occurred. I chose the latter.
Before beginning, though, I have to deal with three crimes that stand apart: the murders of three police officers in Lincoln. I’m not quite sure how to place them in a list. They all had huge impacts on the community, and on the police department in particular. Because these are my colleagues, I deal with them separately and in chronological order.
Patrolman Marion Francis Marshall
Shot in the shadow of the new Nebraska State Capital, Gov. Charles Bryan came to his aid and summoned additional help.
Lt. Frank Soukup
Marion Marshall was technically not a Lincoln police officer, so Lt. Soukup was actually the first Lincoln police officer killed on duty. One of his colleagues who was present at the motel and involved in the gunbattle, Paul Jacobsen, went on to enjoy a long career and command rank at LPD, influencing many young charges (like me) and leaving his mark on the culture of the agency.
Lt. Paul Whitehead
In the space of a few months, three LPD officers died in the line of duty. Frank Soukup had been murdered, and George Welter had died in a motorcycle crash. Paul Whitehead's partner, Paul Merritt, went on to command rank, and like Paul Jacobsen left an indelible mark at LPD and the community.
No. 1: Starkweather
The subject of several thinly disguised movie plots and a Springsteen album, the Starkweather murders are clearly the most infamous crime in Lincoln’s history — so far. One of the first mass murderers of the mass media age, six of Charles Starkweather’s 11 victims were killed inside the city of Lincoln, and the first was just on the outskirts of town. I didn’t live in Lincoln at the time, but my wife was a first-grader at Riley Elementary School and has vivid memories of the city gripped by fear in the days between the discovery of the Bartlett murders and Starkweather’s capture in Wyoming.
The case caused quite an uproar. There was intense criticism of the police department and sheriff’s office for not capturing Starkweather earlier in the week after the discovery of the Bartletts' bodies. Ultimately, Mayor Bennett Martin and the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners retained a retired FBI agent, Harold G. Robinson, to investigate the performance of local law enforcement. His report essentially exonerated the local law officers and made a few vanilla recommendations for improving inter-agency communication and training.
Now I know that many readers are mumbling to themselves “how obvious.” Hold your horses, though. It’s not quite as obvious as you might think. I had two experiences that drove this fact home to me. The first was a visit by a small group of journalism students. Only one member of the class had any idea, and her idea was pretty vague. You need to remember that the Starkweather murders were in 1957 and 1958 — before the parents of many college students were even born.
The second experience was a visit by a Cub Scout den. I was giving the kids a tour of the police station one evening. We were in the front lobby waiting for everyone to arrive. As I entertained the boys, I told the moms and dads that they might enjoy looking in the corner of the Sheriff’s Office display case to see the contents of Starkweather’s wallet — discovered a couple of years ago locked up in the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office safe. After a few minutes, one of the confused fathers asked me who Starkweather was, and why it was significant.
No. 2: Lincoln National Bank
On the morning of Sept. 17, 1930, a dark blue Buick carrying six men pulled up in front of the Lincoln National Bank at the northwest corner of 12th and O streets. Five of the men entered the bank, while a sixth stood outside by the Buick, cradling a machine gun. Observing the unusual events, a passerby called the police. The officer who responded, Forrest Shappaugh, was casually instructed by the machine-gun-toting lookout to just keep going, which he wisely did. Returning with reinforcements, he found that the robbers had already made good on their getaway, netting $2.7 million in cash and negotiable securities.
Ultimately, three of the six suspects were arrested. Tommy O’Connor and Howard Lee were convicted and sentenced. Jack Britt was tried twice but not convicted by a hung jury. Gus Winkeler, a member of Al Capone’s gang, winged a deal with County Attorney Max Towle to avoid prosecution in exchange for orchestrating the recovery of $600,000 in bearer bonds. The following year, Winkeler was murdered in Chicago, the victim of a gangland slaying. The final two robbers were never identified.
The Lincoln National Bank robbery stood as the largest cash bank robbery in the United States for many decades. It precipitated major changes at the Lincoln Police Department. Chief Peter Johnstone was rapidly “retired” after the robbery, the department’s fleet was upgraded to add the first official patrol cars, the full force was armed and a shotgun squad was organized. Forty-four years later when I was hired at LPD, the echo of the Lincoln National Bank robbery was still evident in daily bank opening details, and in the Thomspon submachine guns and Reising rifles that detectives grabbed whenever the robbery alarm sounded at headquarters.
No. 3: The Last Posse
My first inkling about this crime came when I was the chief deputy sheriff. One of my interns, a young man named Ron Boden (who became a veteran deputy sheriff), had been doing some research on Lancaster County’s only known lynching, in 1884. I came across a reference in the biography of the sheriff at the time, Sam Melick, to the murder of the Nebraska Penitentiary warden and subsequent prison break. Melick had been appointed interim warden after the murder and instituted several reforms.
Several years later, a colleague, Sgt. Geoff Marti, loaned me a great book, Gale Christianson’s "Last Posse," that told the story of the 1912 prison break in gory, haunting and glorious detail.
To make a long story short, convict Shorty Gray and his co-conspirators shot and killed Warden James Delahunty, a deputy warden and a guard on Wednesday, March 13, 1912. They then made their break — right into the teeth of a brutal Nebraska spring blizzard. Over the course to the next few days, a posse pursued. During the pursuit, the escapees carjacked a young farmer with his team and wagon. As the posse closed in, a gunfight broke out and the hostage was shot and killed in the exchange, along with two of the three escapees.
There was plenty of anger among the locals in the Gretna-Springfield vicinity about the death of their native son, and a controversy raged over the law enforcement tactics that brought about his demise. Lancaster County Sheriff Gus Hyers was not unsullied by the inquiry, although it appears from my prospect a century later that the fog of war led to the tragedy.
Christianson, a professor of history at Indiana State University who died earlier this year, notes the following on the flyleaf:
“For anyone living west of the Mississippi in 1912, the biggest news that fateful year was a violent escape from the Nebraska state penitentiary planned and carried out by a trio of notorious robbers and safe blowers.”
Bigger news on half the continent than the sinking of the Titanic during the same year would certainly qualify this murder-escape as one of the most infamous Lincoln crimes in history.
No. 4: Rock Island wreck
The Aug. 10, 1894, wreck of a Rock Island train on the southwest outskirts of Lincoln was almost lost in the mist of time until it was resurrected in the public consciousness by author Joel Williams, who came across the story while conducting research for his historical novel, "Barrelhouse Boys."
The wreck was determined to be the result of sabotage to the tracks, perhaps an attempt to derail the train as a prelude to robbery. Eleven people died in the crash and ensuing fire, making this a mass murder, to be sure. G.W. Davis was arrested and convicted of the crime but later received a full pardon. The story was told in greater detail earlier this year by the Lincoln Journal Star.
A historical marker is along the Rock Island Trail in Wilderness Park, accessible only by foot or bike from the nearest trail access points about a half-mile away at Old Cheney Road on the north, or 14th Street on the south.
Here’s the big question that remains unanswered: Was there really significant evidence to prove that George Washington Davis committed the crime, or was he just a convenient scapegoat? The fact that he received a gubernatorial pardon 10 years later leads me to believe that the evidence must have been unusually weak. If he was railroaded, then my second question is this: who really pried loose the tracks with the 40-pound crowbar found at the scene?
No. 5: Commonwealth
On Nov. 1, 1983, the doors to Nebraska’s largest industrial savings and loan company were closed and Commonwealth was declared insolvent. The 6,700 depositors with $65 million at stake would never be fully compensated for their loss, ultimately receiving about 59 cents on the dollar for their deposits, which they all mistakenly believed were insured up to $30,000 through the Nebraska Depository Insurance Guaranty Corporation, which was essentially an insurance pool with assets of only $3 million.
The case dominated Nebraska news for months. The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of three members of the prominent Lincoln family that owned the institution, the resignation of the director of the State Department of Banking and the impeachment of the Nebraska attorney general and the suspension of his license to practice law. State and federal litigation arising from the failure of Commonwealth drug on for years.
At the Lincoln Police Department, the Commonwealth failure led to the formation of a specialized white-collar crime detail, now known as the Technical Investigations Unit. At the time, municipal police departments in the United States had virtually no capacity for investigating financial crime and fraud of this magnitude, and we quickly became well known for our expertise in this area. The early experience served LPD very well in the ensuring years.
No. 6: Candice Harms
Candi Harms never came home from visiting her boyfriend on Sept. 22, 1992. Her parents reported her as a missing person the following morning, and her car was found abandoned in a cornfield north of Lincoln later in the day. Weeks went by before her remains were found southeast of Lincoln.
Scott Barney and Roger Bjorklund were convicted in her abduction and murder. Barney is in prison serving a life term. Bjorklund died in prison in 2001. Intense media attention surrounded the lengthy trial of Roger Bjorklund, for which a jury was brought in from Cheyenne County as an alternative to a change of venue. I have no doubt that the trial was a life-changing event for a group of good citizens from Sidney, who did their civic duty.
I was the Lancaster County sheriff at the time, involved both in the investigation and in the trial security. It was at about this time that the cellular telephone was becoming a consumer product, and I have often thought that this brutal crime probably spurred a lot of purchases. During my career, this is probably the second-most-prominent Lincoln crime in terms of the sheer volume of media coverage.
No. 7: Jon Simpson and Jacob Surber
A parent’s worst nightmare unfolded in September 1975 when these two boys, ages 12 and 13, failed to return from the Nebraska State Fair. The boys were the victims of abduction and murder. The case was similar to a string of other murders of young boys in the Midwest, and many thought that these cases were related -- the work of a serial killer. Although an arrest was made in the case here in Lincoln, the charges were eventually dismissed. William Guatney was released and has since died.
No. 8: John Sheedy
Saloon and gambling house owner John Sheedy was gunned down outside his home at 1211 P St. in January 1891. The case of Sheedy, prominent in Lincoln’s demiworld, became the talk of the town when his wife, Mary, and her alleged lover and accomplice, Monday McFarland, were arrested. Both were acquitted at trial. The Sheedy murder is chronicled in a great interactive multimedia website, Gilded Age Plains City, an online version that builds upon an article published in 2001 by Timothy Mahoney of the University of Nebraska.
No. 9: Patricia McGarry and Catherine Brooks
The bodies of these two friends were found in a Northeast Lincoln duplex in August 1977. Their murderer, Robert E. Williams, was the subject of a massive Midwest manhunt during the following week. Before his capture, he committed a third murder in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and raped, shot and left for dead a victim who survived in Minnesota. He is the last man to be executed in Nebraska, sent to the electric chair in 1997.
No. 10: Judge William M. Morning
District Court Judge William Morning was murdered in February 1924. He was shot on the bench by an unhappy litigant in a divorce case. His court reporter, Minor Bacon, was also shot, but a notebook in his breast pocket deflected the bullet and saved his life.
Many other crimes
Choosing Lincoln's 10 most infamous crimes was a challenge. Although the top two were easy, the picture quickly became clouded. We tend, of course, to forget our history rather quickly. Many of the crimes I felt were among the most significant are barely remembered today, if not completely forgotten.
Some readers will take issue with my list. In choosing 10, here are the others I considered, in no particular order. They are all murders:
-- Mary O'Shea
-- Nancy Parker
-- Charles Mulholland
-- Victoria Lamm and Janet Mesner
-- Martina McMenamin
-- Regina Bos (presumably murdered)
-- Patty Webb
-- Marianne Mitzner
I also thought about the five murder-suicides in which a mother or father killed multiple family members before taking their own life. Though tragic, these crimes did not command the same kind of attention as the others, perhaps because there was no lengthy investigation, no tantalizing whodunit, no stranger-killer, nor any of the details that come out in the coverage of a major trial. | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/burglar-rammed-stolen-truck-into-lincoln-car-dealership-stole-another-truck-police-say/article_4260dbe1-a4d5-5fbb-95c3-ee429a70f259.html | 2022-06-08T15:57:27 | 1 | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/burglar-rammed-stolen-truck-into-lincoln-car-dealership-stole-another-truck-police-say/article_4260dbe1-a4d5-5fbb-95c3-ee429a70f259.html |
Nebraska Parkway will one day be a thoroughfare snaking through the south part of Lincoln.
Now, motorists know it as a state highway, Nebraska 2, but once the South Beltway opens — sometime next year — that will change.
The 9-mile stretch of Nebraska 2 that runs through Lincoln will be rerouted to the beltway, spanning from 120th Street on the east and U.S. 77 on the west.
That stretch of what is now Nebraska 2 will be relinquished to the city, and the small portion outside city limits to Lancaster County. That means the city will be responsible for maintenance of the bulk of the corridor, now the purview of the state.
The city handles snow removal, but is paid by the state, and the state is in charge of maintenance and repair.
That change will have a budget impact for Lincoln Transportation and Utilities, but Director Liz Elliott said she didn’t know yet how much.
As part of the relinquishment of the road, the state will pay the city about $10 million, primarily for necessary maintenance, as well as for new signage, Elliott told the City Council.
People are also reading…
The city will assess the road and decide which areas to prioritize for repair once the change happens. Exactly when that will be is still unclear.
Nine businesses and three Nebraska Department of Transportation buildings will — at some point — have to change their addresses. The other change — officials hope — is that much of the truck traffic that now shares that stretch of highway with Lincoln motorists will instead use the beltway.
TLC for bath house
An old swimming pool bath house is getting a mini face-lift.
Not the full-on renovation city Parks and Recreation Department officials would like to do at some point, but the old Muny Pool bathhouse near 23rd and N streets — which survived long after the city pool was closed and covered by a parking lot — is getting a new, accessible entrance and new doors on the west side.
Lincoln’s Municipal Pool opened in 1921 and closed in 1972, but the bath house remained, and its 1920s Spanish Colonial architecture earned it a historic designation from the Nebraska State Historical Society years later.
For years a parking lot on the east side was used by parents of young baseball players heading to Lewis Fields, but much of that lot disappeared when the Antelope Valley Project excavated the parking lot — including parts of the old pool basin underneath — to create the Antelope Valley channel.
That essentially made the west side of the building the new entrance and — as part of an agreement to keep the building under city ownership — the developer of the Telegraph District agreed to make an ADA-accessible entrance from the parking lot on the west side.
It’s taken a while, but that’s happening now, and when that work is done, the city plans to replace the boarded-up doors beneath the arches with glass doors, said J.J. Yost, manager of planning and construction for Parks and Rec.
For years the building has been used for storage and — for a number of years — Yost’s planning and construction division worked out of the building. The old showers are gone, replaced with drywall and an open area big enough to set up cubicles for office space, he said.
When Parks and Rec relocated to a building near the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department at 31st and O streets, the maintenance crew for Union Plaza remained stationed at the old building. Another city department has several people working there temporarily, Yost said.
Some day, Parks and Rec officials want to find a better use for the building, but first, they’ve got to find the money.
“We continue to think about and dream about what the long-term use of the building should be,” Yost said. “We haven’t figured that out yet.”
Recycling savings
Commodity prices for recycling materials are good these days, so the city is hoping to take advantage with a new contract with the Papillion-based Firstar Fiber.
The city rebid its contract, and Firstar, which had the previous contract, won the bid again, but under different terms.
Currently, the city pays a base rate of $60 per ton of recycling for Firstar to process and sell it, and the city budgets $420,000 a year, said Donna Garden, assistant director of Lincoln Transportation and Utilities.
With the new contract, the city’s cost will be based on market rate, which means right now it would pay $35 a ton.
The old contract, Garden said, meant the city didn’t assume any risk based on the commodity prices of recyclables, but it also didn’t benefit from the prices. Glass remains a flat rate.
“We’re looking at a pretty healthy market right now,” Garden said.
The four-year contract is not to exceed $1.68 million in four years, or $420,000 a year.
Last year, the city recycled 5,844 tons of mixed paper, newspaper, cardboard, plastic, steel and aluminum. Of that, 71% was cardboard.

Two armadillo handbags? That, and more, among unique and valuable garage sale donations
The volunteers who oversee the Monroe County History Center Garage Sale aren't often surprised by what people drop off.
On a recent afternoon, two peach pit carvings joined several donated, carved walnuts displayed on a cloth-covered table.
They don't accept clothing, unless it's vintage, but most anything else donated in good condition is assessed, cleaned up or polished and affixed with a price tag.
Among this year's donations were two armadillo handbags, made from the dried carcasses of actual armadillos. A man named Charles Apelt started making purses out of the hard-shelled mammals in Texas around 1900. He sold 40,000 within six years, launching a fashion craze.
Someone likely will want them.
Unexpected treasures such as these abound inside this this week’s sale, on Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at a 33,000-square-foot warehouse at 4015 W. Profile Parkway.
Pricing items for the event can be tricky. Since a volunteer crew works most of the year taking in and preparing items for sale, they use the internet or Google Lens to get information and document value.
For instance, there's the dog-shaped pitcher, one item inside a box full of assorted stuff. A volunteer took it out, and figured it was worth $5, maybe more. Then she looked it up online and learned one just like it sold at a recent auction for $189.
They developed a new respect for the rare Phila pitcher and upped the price.
A shiny silver tea kettle with a bird on the end of the spigot was polished and put on display for $5. Until a volunteer recognized it as designed by architect Michael Graves, and knew its value was between $150 and $200. The price went up $30, but it's still a deal.
The merchandise prices are scaled back for the garage sale, which is a fundraiser for the history museum. But sometimes even a discount price can seem a lot for high-end items.
Like a ring that appears to be be costume jewelry but turns out to have genuine stones. Or a pair of intricately hand-painted vases that resemble ones at TJ Maxx but instead are hand-painted Bristol glass worth hundreds of dollars each.
When a woman brought them in and sat them down one day, volunteers examined them closely and suspected they might have value.
Those vases got $125 price tags. So will the armadillo purses. The ring, worth hundreds of dollars, likely will be displayed for sale at the boutique at the history center's downtown museum.
Volunteer Kathy McFall held up a 1920s sterling silver mesh evening bag with a built-in compact. The mirror is uncracked and there's still a circle of rouge for touching up cheeks on a night out.
It didn't sell last year, or the year before, with a $95 price tag. When appraisers from Ripley Auctions in Indianapolis were in Bloomington to review contents of a home for an estate sale, they came by the history center sale warehouse to see the inventory.
They said the mesh purse might sell for a few hundred dollars at a high-end auction, and told the volunteers that a 4-by-4-foot handmade rug from Finland they were selling for $60 was made by a known artist and worth $400.
Then there's the poster of runners by African American artist Jacob Lawrence from the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich someone donated a few weeks ago. It's in an inexpensive frame and the glass, layered with grime, is broken.
"I haven't even cleaned it up," Karen Cline said. "I was going to find another frame and maybe try and sell it for $50 because the subject matter is so cool."
The signed poster caught the eye of a Ripley's appraiser, who advised her to leave the image as-is and increase the price. "She said the artist is very well known and that an unsigned poster like this one can sell at auction for $700 to $900," Cline said.
"I was dumbfounded. She said not to worry about the broken glass."

Hundreds of residents of a luxury downtown San Francisco apartment building, 33 Tehama, were evacuated with a moment's notice from their homes on Friday after a burst water pipe flooded every floor of the building. Now they say they have no idea when they may be able to return, or where they will live as they wait.
All 35 floors of the high-end SoMa tower were impacted on Friday after a 6-inch pipe burst on the roof or top floor and water started gushing through hallways and rooms. "On the second floor, water was dripping from the ceiling. It was really bad," resident Tyler Patterson told SFGATE.
The announcement to evacuate came over a loudspeaker as two fire trucks and PG&E arrived to assess the damage.
"With a moment's notice at 2:30 they were like, 'Get out.' So I grabbed my dog and cat, I didn't even grab my wallet, and made it outside," Patterson said.
Residents were sent to two downtown hotels, the Hilton Union Square and Parc 55, but reported today that they are being forced to check out of their hotels with no news yet on where they will be staying tonight. Patterson says that some have been told to go to South San Francisco.
Another resident, Sun Woo, told ABC7 a similar story on Monday. "I have no place to go after 11 today. I don't know where I will be working from," Woo said. "I don't know where I will be taking my belongings or where I will sleep tonight."
This is allegedly not the first time residents have been evacuated from 33 Tehama due to flooding. Patterson says a pipe on the sixth floor also burst in August 2021, leading to the evacuation of six units. "I was moved for three weeks," he said, "with the same lack of communication and empathy from the building."
In a statement shared with the press, property management company Willowick Residential, a subsidiary of Hines, said they are working diligently to make repairs and restore the safety of the building.
"Immediately upon closing the building we provided our tenants with hotel accommodations," the company said in the statement. "We are continuing to work with our residents to address their needs and provide access to their units on an appointment basis, as the building remains closed while we assess the damage. At this time, we do not have a time frame for re-opening."
SFGATE reached out for further comment from the company but had not heard back at time of publication.
A video shared by residents with SFGATE showed major flooding throughout hallways. Another video posted on Reddit showed water gushing through stairwells and elevators.
District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey said in a tweet thread that he visited the building and is working with both residents and Hines, the parent property management company, to help resolve the situation.
Patterson says he has returned to 33 Tehama twice since the evacuation. "We were all gathered outside the leasing office and they wouldn't talk to us," he said. "They're treating us like dogs. We need reliable housing and notice to relocate. We're hearing rumors that it's going to take weeks to get back in."
Patterson is waiting to find out where he will be sleeping tonight with his French bulldog and cat.
Opened in 2018 as part of the Transbay development that includes the Salesforce Tower, the 35-story luxury residence offers co-working spaces, a game room and a spa-equipped, high-end gym and even an optional butler service called Hello Alfred that can take your clothes to the dry cleaner, take the dog for a walk or order takeout food.
Patterson has been a resident at the building, in which a 2-bedroom apartment rents for anything from $5,000 to $16,000 a month, since 2020.
"It'll be two years in July," he said. "I'm not planning on renewing my lease." | https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/sf-tower-flood-causes-evacuations-17224980.php | 2022-06-08T16:00:45 | 0 | https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/sf-tower-flood-causes-evacuations-17224980.php |
LITTLE ROCK, Ark — As gas prices continue to climb, some Arkansans have decided to ditch the pump and instead go for a charging station.
According to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, electric vehicle registrations have increased by 43% in the first five months of the year.
That number is something that caught experts off guard, as Scott Hardin with the DFA said the numbers were surprising.
"We look at that and say 'Obviously something is driving that,' and the obvious answer is gas prices. I think Arkansans get tired of paying what they're paying at the pump. Between Jan. 1 and the end of May of this year about 1,000 Arkansans went out and purchased fully electric," said Hardin.
He said a little more than half of the registrations are for vehicles in Benton, Washington, and Pulaski County. Benton has 660 fully electric vehicles, Pulaski County has 640 fully electric vehicles, and Washington County has just over 440 fully electric vehicles.
It's not something that the state is seeing for fully electric vehicles either, Hardin said the number of hybrid vehicles have also increased by 20%.
As of June 1, 2022, there are 2,997 fully registered electric vehicles in the state, along with 27,441 hybrid cars.
It's been a steady increase in numbers that span back roughly four years ago.
2021
- Electric: 2,094 vehicles
- Hybrid: 22,818 vehicles
2020
- Electric: 1,303 vehicles
- Hybrid: 18,242 vehicles
2019
- Electric: 781 vehicles
- Hybrid: 13,861 vehicles
"It's really interesting to see this cause it's tough to find these vehicles. It's not as if you can walk on a car lot today and just have your pick," Hardin said. "Many people are waiting extended periods to purchase one of these or paying really top dollar to obtain one."
Hardin believes that these numbers likely could have been up 60-65% if accessibility was easier for Arkansans, although there's been a lot of moving parts in bringing the reality of more electric vehicles to the state.
"We're seeing companies that make these vehicles located in the state and we're seeing infrastructure growing in the state," said Hardin.
Lauren Waldrip is the executive director of the Arkansas Advanced Energy Association. The group is comprised of people that range from solar developers to energy efficiency companies.
Back in February, The White House announced that Arkansas would get $54 million to support the expansion of an electric vehicle charging network in the state. The state would also have the opportunity to apply for a $2.5 billion grant dedicated to electric vehicle charging.
This is why Waldrip believes charging stations could start to pop up throughout the state over the course of five years.
"Under Governor Hutchinson's leadership, he has worked with the state's Department of Energy to develop a plan to roll out charging stations every 50 miles. So once we get more information from the feds, we're excited to see what that plan will look like," she said.
Waldrip herself is a new Tesla owner and said electric vehicles are more affordable from a purchasing standpoint.
She also said they [electric vehicles] would save a consumer about $13,000 for every hundred thousand miles.
"They're easy to maintain and folks are realizing not only the environmental benefits of electric vehicles, but also the economic benefits as well," Waldrip said. "I was a very loyal Chevy SUV customer, but just got tired of spending $100 to fill up my tank."
Instead of the $100 to fill her tank up with gas, she said she now only spends $10 to charge her electric vehicle.
Jeff Franklin with Franklin's Charging in Little Rock has had his electric vehicle for a while, but isn't shocked that more Arkansans are opting to ditch the pump and are instead charging their vehicles.
He said his Telsa Model 3 has an 82-kilowatt battery. His charging station charges 30 cents per kilowatt-hour, which means that a full tank would only cost $24.60 compared to the $40 to $60 Arkansans are paying at the pump.
With this difference in price, Franklin said conversations with his friends that still use gas-powered cars are pretty interesting.
"Right now, I think most of them are jealous because of what I'm paying per mile versus what they're paying for mile to get around," said Franklin. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/arkansas-electric-hybrid-cars/91-304e816d-8213-433f-916e-805df9574dc0 | 2022-06-08T16:21:06 | 1 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/arkansas-electric-hybrid-cars/91-304e816d-8213-433f-916e-805df9574dc0 |
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Little Rock has already had 37 homicides so far in 2022, which is 10 more than this time last year.
While the city continues to look for ways to curb crime, some directors aren't seeing the progress. Alongside that are concerns about the level of transparency at the police department.
Little Rock Vice Mayor Lance Hines is not in favor of putting money into crime prevention programs to stop the upwards trend in violence. Instead, he thinks the city should take a different approach.
"We've got to have more tactical presence on the streets of Little Rock, more officers on patrol," said Hines.
He has been a critic of Mayor Frank Scott Jr's administration for years. This topic is no different as Hines believes there's a lack of transparency from the police department.
"I can tell you what I think the root problem is with our public information office in LRPD. It's not LRPD's fault. The LRPD and the interim chief and the chief that retired all answer to the mayor," said Hines.
It's been an ongoing issue, but one that was brought up again after the murder of 7-year-old Chloe Alexander when there were questions unanswered about the investigation.
In response, Mayor Frank Scott Jr.'s office sent the following statement:
The police department has a responsibility to protect the integrity of ongoing investigations, and Mayor Scott supports LRPD in its decisions as to what information it releases and when it does so. The Freedom of Information Act specifically exempts from disclosure the records of ongoing investigations, and that exemption is necessary to allow investigators to effectively pursue justice and protect the rights of both victims and suspects. In an effort to ensure transparency while not compromising ongoing investigations, Mayor Scott has discussed with LRPD ways it can use social media to keep the public updated.
We asked LRPD about their transparency protocols and what are the best ways people can ask questions when they have concerns. We did not get answers to these questions, but a spokesperson did send the following statement:
In the event of a homicide in Little Rock, a preliminary investigation begins and LRPD utilizes its social media platforms to keep the public updated. The information is the most accurate information that can shared at that time without compromising an ongoing investigation.
Little Rock Director Ken Richardson said the way LRPD releases information is effective.
"[The] Police department to their credit, they have been giving us information after they've concluded or after they've been involved in an intensive investigation," said Richardson. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/little-rock/little-rock-police-transparency-issues/91-dfd287bd-4309-4197-bbb7-f1ad0b944cd2 | 2022-06-08T16:21:13 | 0 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/little-rock/little-rock-police-transparency-issues/91-dfd287bd-4309-4197-bbb7-f1ad0b944cd2 |
CLEARWATER COUNTY, Idaho — The following story contains disturbing details and body cam footage from an officer involved shooting. Viewer and reader discretion is advised.
KREM 2 has obtained the deputy body cam video showing the moment a Clearwater County man was shot and killed in front of his elderly parents.
48-year-old Michael Trappett was drunk and armed with a knife. Prosecutors deemed the shooting was justified while Trappett's family insists he was only a threat to himself.
It was a dark, cold January night when Clearwater County deputies responded to a situation at a home in Orofino, Idaho. A woman reported that her son was drunk, armed with a knife and threatening to harm himself.
For the next 22 minutes, deputies searched cars and several outbuildings, but Trappett was nowhere to be found. They eventually went back to the house and spoke with Michael's worried mother. Moments later, Michael appeared, visibly intoxicated and cursing at the deputies.
Deputies repeatedly yelled at Michael to drop the large kitchen knife in his right hand, but he refused. Deputies followed him to the back side of the house. Body cam video shows one of the deputies getting close to Michael. He turns around and is shot 15 times.
Based on the video, it appears Michael died soon, if not immediately after the shooting.
Michael Trappett's oldest brother, Bill, says his body was still there when he got to his parents house four hours after the shooting.
"It was way excessive," Trappett said. "15 shots and he wasn't even turning around and he wasn't even fighting them."
The angle from the female deputy's body camera isn't as clear, but you can see Michael stop and hold up the kitchen knife.
"She was not trying to deescalate," Trappett said. "And if you look where the male officer was, he had significant distance between him and where my brother was."
Bill says his brother struggled with bipolar disorder and alcoholism. He's clearly drunk while talking to deputies, but Bill insists he was only a threat to himself. He thinks deputies need more deescalation training.
"They should have had plenty of training to deescalate it," Trappett said. "I mean there is absolutely no reason that he should have been shot."
Both of the deputies involved have been cleared. The Latah County prosecutor deemed the shooting was justified. Bill says his parents will never be the same after seeing Michael shot and killed in front of them.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The mountains are calling, and outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy all the region has to offer at Visit Johnson City’s 2022 annual Meet the Mountains Festival in August.
Organizers will host the hub for the two-day event in downtown Johnson City at Founders Park from August 19-20, breaking out into three sections: air, earth and water. These areas will host a myriad of activities, from kayaking and paddle boarding to fly fishing and mountain biking.
Founders Park will host a wide array of activities, including live music at the amphitheater, ziplining, biking, air dog shows, yoga, a ropes course, a rock wall and more. The site will also include a variety of food options, local beer and vendors.
Those interested in reserving a vendor site should contact Meet the Mountains Festival Director Ashley Cavender by emailing mtmfest@visitjohnsoncitytn.com or calling 423-900-2526.
The 2022 festival will mark the fourth of its kind and attracts thousands of local and visiting adventurers to the heart of Johnson City. This year, Visit Johnson City took over the event after the Northeast Tennessee Economic Partnership, which hosted it in years past, passed along the torch.
“Visit Johnson City staff have been an integral part of planning since the festival’s inception,” said Cavender. “When conversations began to transfer ownership, we knew this was an opportunity to create a tourism-driver event needed in Johnson City. In addition, this would allow us to continue promoting our region and outdoor assets on a larger scale.”
In addition to introducing festival-goers to the region’s outdoor opportunities, the event also promotes Leave No Trace principles and No Waste initiatives.

At the most recent meeting of the Arizona Board of Regents’s (ABOR) Academic Affairs and Educational Attainment Committee, Northern Arizona University (NAU) presented five-year plans to expand several of its health programs.
The university is in the works to add nine program sites and grow enrollment by more than 1,600 students per year (a total growth of 181%) through 2027, according to a presentation by Executive Vice President and Provost Karen Pugliesi.
Over 1,500 additional students have enrolled in NAU health programs since 2012, she said, with the number of bachelor's of nursing graduates from the past five years (2017-21) being 765% more than those awarded between 2002 and '06. Her comparison of those same five-year periods showed an 880% increase in graduate degrees.
The Rounds Consulting Group had presented on the state’s allied health needs at the committee’s last meeting on March 24. Four program areas were looked at that were underrepresented in Arizona in 2020 when compared to nationwide standards. Of these, physical therapy had the largest Arizona job shortage (1,028), followed by occupational therapy (537), physician assistant (217) and audiology (147).

Many of NAU’s plans involve expanding programs to new statewide locations as well as enlarging them at existing sites where possible.
The largest focus is an expansion of the university's nursing programs. NAU plans to add three new accelerated program sites -- which produce licensure-ready graduates in 12 months -- across the state (north Valley, Tucson and Prescott Valley) and to move the Fort Defiance program to Tuba City.
In addition to expanding its accelerated nursing program in Flagstaff, NAU plans to expand the family nurse practitioner program there, and add programs for psychiatric nurse practitioners and a master's in nursing leadership, quality and patient safety.
The speech language pathology (SLP) program will expand in Flagstaff and a new site will begin in Yuma this summer, both including culturally relevant practice in the training.
It also will expand the online RN to BSN and concurrent enrollment programs, with the overall plan to increase “clinical initial licensure eligible graduates” by 231% by 2027.
According to Pugliesi’s presentation, NAU is currently the only Arizona public university with a master’s program in physician assistant studies. The program will be added to the school’s Flagstaff and Yuma locations, growing enrollment capacity by 250% though 2027.
She also said NAU is considering adding an online capstone doctoral program in the field.
“Physician assistants are important in the mix of healthcare professionals and community-based practice, [and they] enhance the impact of primary care doctors, which are in very short supply in Arizona," she said. So, the capstone program "would serve a growing demand for updated credentials for practitioners in this area and help us generate revenue to support clinical program expansion in physician assistant studies."
Other master’s and doctoral degrees Pugliesi mentioned adding or expanding include clinical psychology, counseling (clinical, clinical mental health and school) and social work.
NAU plans to grow occupational therapy enrollment capacity by 167% by adding a hybrid option at the Phoenix Bioscience Core facility. Similarly, it expects to grow enrollments in its physical therapy program 250% by adding a “hybrid platform” and a new program site at its Yuma campus.
NAU’s fiscal year 2023 proposal for its New Economy Initiative (NEI) funds includes $10 million for nursing, and $9 million for allied and behavioral health. According to the presentation, some 106,000 jobs and $102.2 billion in economic output is expected out of the move among its impacts.
Other considerations toward meeting goals include the specialized accreditation and requirements for adding sites or enrollment each program would need, as well as staffing, facilities and clinical placements.
One solution Pugliesi mentioned was the development of simulation facilities -- which would reduce the number of clinical hours needed and pressure on placement capacity while supporting continuing education. Healthcare partnerships are also “central to our strategy for expansion,” she said.
When asked about accreditation, which had been a limiting factor in the past, Pugliesi said the university was using “a little bit of strategy and time frame.”
NAU is choosing to focus on programs at different rates, based on their varying requirements (for example, Pugliesi described nursing program requirements as “less restrictive”) and adding different program sites, rather than expanding cohorts in existing programs (another area that takes longer, as it has more restrictive requirements).
The university is looking into those longer-term accreditation processes as well, she said in response to a question.
“The lift involved in getting accreditation for a new site is a heavier lift, meaning there’s more substantial documentation and process required, but there isn’t the same kind of constraint on how frequently you can do that and how long you have to wait after,” she said.
The items she mentioned as having specific timelines include the SLP program in Yuma (set to begin this summer), the hybrid occupational therapy program (“in the next year”) and nursing program expansions (assuming hiring goes well “over the course of this coming year.”.

AUSTIN, Texas — Editor's note: The above video depicts a separate celebration ceremony from 2017 in which Downs Field received a historical marker plaque.
Downs Field, the historic century-old home of Black sports teams, will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday to celebrate the restoration of its grandstand.
The grandstand restoration is part of a decade-long refurbishment project from the Historic Preservation Fund and the Economic Development Department's Heritage Tourism Division. Project leaders worked to recreate the grandstands' original look while replacing the roof and improving supports and framing.
The ribbon-cutting will be at Downs Field this Friday at 11:30 a.m.
Samuel Huston College baseball and Austin's first Negro Baseball League team, the Austin Black Senators, first used the Downs Field site in the 1920s. It wasn't until 1954 that the site was officially established as Downs Field after the late Samuel Huston president Karl Downs. Currently, Downs Field is home to the Huston-Tillotson Rams.
In 2015, the Texas Historical Commission certified the Downs Field site as a Texas Historical Landmark, and in 2017, the field received a historical marker plaque.

SAN MARCOS, Texas — Hays County deputies have been placed at daycares around the San Marcos area after the police department received information about a potential threat.
On Wednesday morning, the Hays County Sheriff's Office was notified about the threat from the police department after Crime Stoppers received an anonymous tip regarding a threat to invoke violence at a "daycare in San Marco."
This tip did not specify a specific state, however, so three cities across the U.S. were notified, including San Marcos, California, and San Marco, Florida.
Deputies will remain at daycares around San Marcos, Texas until the validity of the threat is determined.
No further information was immediately available.

All 64 SUNY campuses will implement a chosen name and pronouns policy to ensure that transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary students' identities are reflected and respected, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday.
"Every person, regardless of their gender identity or the name they choose to go by, deserves to have identity documentation that reflects who they are," Hochul said. "This historic change by the SUNY system is a victory in our ongoing fight to ensure that New York is a place of love and belonging. My administration remains committed to taking the steps necessary to ensure equality and respect for the LGBTQIA+ community."
The change is part of the university system's "mission to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for students within the LGBTQIA+ community," according to Hochul's office.
With the historic change, student's chosen name and pronouns will appear in campus portals, class rosters and student email addresses. SUNY students are additionally able to select 'X' when asked to provide gender by the college, following last month's announcement that New York state will offer driver’s licenses, learner's permits and non-driver identification cards with an “X” gender identity marker.
The full implementation of all necessary IT or operational changes to align with SUNY's chosen name policies must occur by the start of the Fall 2023 semester, while the gender identity policy must be implemented by the end of 2022, according to the state.
"An inclusive chosen name and pronoun policy doesn't only help students feel safer on campus—it is also a matter of respect," SUNY Interim Chancellor Deborah Stanley said. "This is the next concrete step toward ensuring SUNY's current and future transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary students feel embraced and uplifted. To those students and families who are seeing an unprecedented effort to roll back LGBTQIA+ rights and opportunities in other states, we want you to know that New York State and SUNY's 64 colleges and universities intend only to move forward."
In 2015, the SUNY committed itself to being the most inclusive state university system in the country. Just last year, SUNY also passed a resolution requiring SUNY state-operated campuses to designate all single-occupancy bathrooms as gender neutral.

WASHINGTON — Anglers across Washington will be able to fish without a license from June 11 to 12 during the state's Free Fishing Weekend event, according to a press release.
During Washington’s annual event, residents and non-residents can fish or harvest shellfish across the state for those two days in any waters open to fishing, without the need for a fishing license.
“If you’ve ever wanted to try fishing or any of the other unique opportunities Washington offers, Free Fishing Weekend is the perfect time,” Steve Caromile, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) fish program manager said in a written statement. “It’s easier than ever to get started fishing, and it’s also a great time to introduce someone to fishing without the need to buy a license.”
During the Free Fishing Weekend, visitors are also not required to have a car access pass or a Discover Pass for day visits to any Washington state park or any land managed by the WDFW.
Some places where people can fish during the free fishing weekend include the following:
- Trout and bass in lowland lakes, and in the many rivers open to gamefish throughout the state. People can use visit the WDFW and look for places to go fishing and check which lakes have recently been stocked.
- Lingcod, cabezon and rockfish on the Washington coast. People are not required to have a boat to fish.
- Salmon fishing on much of the lower Columbia River. See open dates and regulations for the different portions of the river here.
WDFW is advising those interested in finishing during the Free Fishing Weekend to check the current fishing regulations valid through the end of June before hitting the water, as well as emergency rules in effect. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/free-fishing-weekend-washington-june/293-502dc980-660f-4249-a6e1-5af1b4748023 | 2022-06-08T17:02:51 | 1 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/free-fishing-weekend-washington-june/293-502dc980-660f-4249-a6e1-5af1b4748023 |
SEATTLE — Three Seattle area beaches will remain closed for the summer because of an ongoing lifeguard shortage, Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) said in a release Tuesday.
SPR is shuttering Matthews Beach, Seward Park Beach and East Green Lake Beach for the summer. The department said Medgar Evers, Evans and Queen Anne pools will also remain closed for the summer, allowing for construction to be done in the area. Lifeguards at the sites will be re-directed to other beaches, SPR said.
The department said it did not hire enough trained and experienced lifeguards to keep all of its nine beaches and 10 pools open. There are 165 lifeguards currently on staff, but SPR said it needs around 425 to staff indoor and outdoor pools along with summer beaches.
Parks and recreation officials said lifeguard positions are less than half-filled because of a lack of available certification training during the pandemic. A decrease in returning lifeguards because of pandemic-era layoffs and hiring freezes has further contributed to the department's staffing struggles, SPR said.
This is at least the second recent year cities in western Washington have faced a lifeguard shortage.
The department started recruiting lifeguards for the upcoming summer season in September 2021. Lifeguard certification classes were restarted in January 2022, with officials administering 11 courses this year. Seattle and Bellevue are offering free training and certification for lifeguards, too.
SPR started its teen training program at Rainier Beach Pool this year, redoubling efforts to combat widespread staffing issues. The department said on June 1 it hopes to hire another 200 lifeguards over the next few weeks.
Beginning June 25, the following beaches will be guarded daily from 12-7 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. on weekends:
- Madison Beach, 1900 43rd Ave. E
- Madrona Beach, 853 Lake Washington Blvd.
- Magnuson Beach, park entrance at NE 65th and Sand Point Way NE
- Mt. Baker Beach, 2301 Lake Washington Blvd. S
- Pritchard Beach, 8400 55th Ave. S
- West Green Lake Beach, 7312 W Green Lake Dr.
"We encourage all Seattleites and visitors to come out to these beaches for a safe and fun swim experience," SPR said.
Parks and recreation officials said the department considered drowning prevention, equity, geographic distribution and overall usage to keep pools open while closing others.
Summer beaches, beginner swimming lessons, underserved communities and accessible public transit were the department's priorities this summer, SPR detailed in a release. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/seattle-beaches-close-summer-lack-lifeguards/281-70011d4e-adca-4368-b054-9b89efe615d5 | 2022-06-08T17:02:57 | 0 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/seattle-beaches-close-summer-lack-lifeguards/281-70011d4e-adca-4368-b054-9b89efe615d5 |

DALLAS (KDAF) — One, two, three drawings in a row with a top-prize winner from this Texas Lottery game.
That game is Cash Five and a $25,000 winning ticket from the Tuesday night drawing was sold just outside of Dallas in Mesquite! That ticket matched all five of the winning numbers from the June 7 drawing.
The ticket was purchased at Best For Less on Pioneer Road in Mesquite, and it was not a Quick Pick. There were also 71 secondary prize winners who matched four of the five winning numbers to win $350 each.
This win marked the fourth top prize from the Texas Lottery Cash Five game during the month of June! | https://cw33.com/news/local/25000-winning-texas-lottery-ticket-sold-outside-of-dallas/ | 2022-06-08T17:08:19 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/local/25000-winning-texas-lottery-ticket-sold-outside-of-dallas/ |
AUSTIN (KXAN) — For more than two years, KXAN has been tracking COVID data across Texas daily. We wanted to break out some of the key metrics to show how COVID is currently impacting our state.
“Texas, as a whole, is seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations,” Lara Anton, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), said in a statement to KXAN. “This is similar to what has been seen all across the United States.”
DSHS is the agency that reports updated COVID data each day.
“With cases and hospitalizations on the rise in Texas, now is a good time to make sure you are up-to-date with your COVID vaccines,” Anton said. “If you haven’t received your initial vaccine series, or you are eligible for a first or second booster and still haven’t gotten it, now is a great time to get that done.”
The good news
In February 2022, the CDC began weekly updates determining the “COVID Community Level” in each county nationwide. The three levels — high, medium and low — show how prevalent COVID-19 is in each county, by looking at hospitalization and case data. The data is updated weekly.
As of June 2, the most recently-available data, only 20 of the state’s 254 counties are in the medium category for COVID risk, including Caldwell County. There are no counties currently at high risk.
The not-so-good news
While the COVID risk remains in the low category for much of the state, several key metrics are on the upswing. Most notably, the molecular positive rate — the percent of PCR tests that return a positive result — has surpassed the peak we saw during the delta variant surge last summer.
The 7-day average positive rate is currently 19.44%, compared to the delta surge peak of 18.73%. The chart below shows a steady increase in the positive rate since the start of April.
The current surge in the positive rate is still nowhere near what we saw during the omicron surge last winter, when more than a third of all tests were returning positive results.
Meanwhile, the number of new cases reported each day is also rising. Texas is currently reporting an average of 4,798 new confirmed cases every day. That’s the highest seven-day average since Feb. 22. To be considered a “confirmed case,” a person has to test positive using a molecular/PCR test. A positive result on an antigen/rapid test would be considered a “probable case.”
The chart above shows the number of new confirmed cases reported each day. Our current upswing has been much slower than previous surges. The greater availability of at-home tests may explain some of that. When people take a COVID test at home, it’s unlikely they’ll report the results to the health department.
“We won’t have all of the tests reported to us the same way that we used to, so the absolute number of COVID-19 cases that we report on our website may look smaller during our current and future surges,” Anton said. “The positivity rate is also impacted by the number of tests that get reported to us. So the positivity rate may not be associated with the surges in the same way it was before. However, we can still look at the trends in cases and positivity rate to understand if the burden of COVID-19 is increasing or decreasing in our communities.”
A more stable metric of how COVID is impacting Texas is hospitalizations. Each day, DSHS reports the number of patients in Texas hospitals who have tested positive for COVID. While the number is still relatively low, our current total is the highest it’s been since March 24 and has been steadily increasing over the past couple of weeks.
“Hospitals are still reporting on how many COVID-19 patients are in their facility, and death certificate data is still available to help us understand the trends in COVID-19 fatalities,” Anton said. “The COVID-19 hospitalization and fatality reporting processes haven’t changed at all, and these allow us steady insight into how many people in our Texas communities are getting seriously ill from COVID-19.”
The number of new deaths reported each day is very low. In fact, we’re currently at levels not seen since the start of the pandemic, averaging about six new deaths reported statewide each day. Deaths are a lagging indicator though, so if cases and hospitalizations continue to tick upward, the number of deaths may follow in a few weeks. | https://cw33.com/news/local/a-snapshot-of-covid-in-texas-what-does-the-data-tell-us/ | 2022-06-08T17:08:25 | 1 | https://cw33.com/news/local/a-snapshot-of-covid-in-texas-what-does-the-data-tell-us/ |
DALLAS COUNTY (KFDX/KJTL) — Officials with Dallas County Health and Human Services reported Tuesday, June 7, 2022 that they are investigating a monkeypox case in the county.
This case would mark the first case of monkeypox reported in the state of Texas in 2022.
DCHHS officials said the individual who preliminarily tested positive on June 6 traveled internationally in the past month to Mexico, which has also had confirmed cases of monkeypox.
Public Health officials have identified individuals who have had direct contact with the patient and are monitoring them for symptoms of infection.
The monkeypox virus spreads between people primarily through direct contact with infectious sores, scabs, or body fluids.
It also can be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact.
Visit the CDC’s website for more information.
The full press release from DCHHS can be found below: | https://cw33.com/news/local/first-monkeypox-case-reported-in-texas/ | 2022-06-08T17:08:31 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/local/first-monkeypox-case-reported-in-texas/ |
(NEXSTAR) – It’s no question that affording housing – whether owning or renting – is expensive. While most Americans say they’re spending about 25% of their income on housing expenses, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that’s not exactly the case in some of Texas’s biggest cities.
In a recent analysis, SmartAsset reviewed the nation’s 25 largest cities to determine the number of hours a renter would need to work to cover housing costs based on three metrics: average annual take-home pay, average hours worked per year, and median monthly rent.
For example, in Detroit, the estimated hourly wage is $20.80 after taxes while the median rent is $850. This means a renter needs to work just over 40 hours to cover their rent each month. Detroit is the only city SmartAsset reviewed where a renter needs to work just one full-time week to cover rent.
The analysis also referred to a common financial rule of thumb – you shouldn’t spend more than 30% of your pre-tax income on housing. In Detroit, SmartAsset’s analysis found renters are following that financial guideline and spending about 25% of their pre-tax income on housing.
In some of Texas’s biggest cities, that isn’t always possible.
Renters in Austin have to work more hours just to cover rent than those living in any other Texas city analyzed, SmartAsset found. With an estimated hourly wage of $23.44 and a median monthly rent of $1,346, those living in Austin need to work slightly more than 57 hours to cover rent.
Austin is the only Texas city to land within the top 10 on SmartAsset’s list. Dallas and Houston were the next highest on the list, coming in at 12th and 13th, respectively. They weren’t very different either.
In Dallas, with an estimated hourly wage of $20.61 and a median rent of $1,111, the average resident would need to work 53.9 hours to cover rent. In Houston, 53.8 hours of work are needed to afford a median rent of $1,086 with an estimated hourly wage of $20.20.
Close behind were Fort Worth and San Antonio. Just over 52 hours of work with an estimated hourly wage of $21.35 covers Fort Worth’s median rent of $1,115. In San Antonio, you’d need 51.8 hours of work with an estimated wage of $19.78 an hour to afford the average rent of $1,025.
Rounding out Texas’ cities on the list was El Paso. With the lowest estimated hourly wage on the list at $18.02, you’d need to work 47.6 hours to afford El Paso’s median rent of $857 (the second-lowest rate on the list after Detroit’s $850).
Renters in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, and San Antonio aren’t exactly following the financial rule of spending no more than 30% of their income on housing, but they do come close. Based on SmartAsset’s data, here is roughly how much of an average renter’s income is going to housing:
- Austin: 36%
- Dallas: 34%
- Houston: 33%
- Fort Worth: 33%
- San Antonio: 32%
El Paso is the only Texas city where the average renters are spending less than 30% of their income on housing at 29.7%.
Topping out SmartAsset’s overall analysis was San Jose, California, where renters have to work almost two weeks of full-time work to cover a median rent of $2,232.
These rankings may not come as a shock to some Texas renters. Rent in two Austin neighborhoods alone has risen by more than 100% over the past year, a recent report found. | https://cw33.com/news/local/how-much-you-need-to-work-to-afford-rent-in-major-texas-cities/ | 2022-06-08T17:08:37 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/local/how-much-you-need-to-work-to-afford-rent-in-major-texas-cities/ |
DALLAS (KDAF) — No surprise with this news, but the heat will continue in North Texas on Wednesday along with some possible showers and storms in the morning and afternoon hours. Here’s what you need to know.
“There will be a couple chances for showers and storms across North Texas today. A complex of storms may skirt portions of North Texas this morning. However, regardless of shower/storm coverage, gusty winds may occur as this activity sends an outflow boundary through North Texas,” NWS Fort Worth says.
The morning chances for storms/showers will remain in the northeastern portion of the region (Sherman, Paris & Greenville). As the afternoon falls, the chances for storms/showers widen and shift to the northern portion of the region (Bowie, Jacksboro, Sherman, Denton and some of DFW).
The center says, “Additional chances for showers and storms are expected this afternoon as a second complex of storms approaches from the northwest. If storms maintain intensity, gusty winds and hail may be possible. Some redevelopment may be possible across North Texas this afternoon, but confidence is low at this time. Otherwise, it’ll be another hot and humid day across the region.”
Lastly NWS Fort Worth discusses the next few days and how the heat will continue to build in the region, “Heat will continue to build across the Southern Plains through the end of the week and into the weekend. High temperatures will climb into the upper 90s to 103 degrees over the next few days. Friday and Sunday are expected to be the hottest days where heat index values will climb above 105 degrees. There will continue to be low chances for thunderstorms during the late night and early morning hours on Thursday and Friday.” | https://cw33.com/news/local/showers-storms-possible-in-north-texas-on-wednesday-as-heat-continues/ | 2022-06-08T17:08:43 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/local/showers-storms-possible-in-north-texas-on-wednesday-as-heat-continues/ |
KANSAS CITY (KXAN) — Texan Patrick Mahomes has officially brought another piece of his home state to the Kansas City area.
Mahomes, as part of the franchisee group KMO Burger, opened the first Whataburger in Kansas City Tuesday.
The new restaurant will be the fifth Whataburger in the Kansas City area, following corporate-owned restaurant openings in Lee’s Summit, Independence, Overland Park and Blue Springs, according to a press release.
“As part of KMO Burger, I am excited our team is opening our first location in Kansas City,” Mahomes said in the statement. “It’s great to bring a gift from my first home to my second home.”
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is a Tyler native who played college football at Texas Tech.
KMO Burger plans to open 30 Whataburgers over the next seven years throughout Kansas and Missouri.
While the fast-food restaurant is a Texas staple, its ownership is no longer based in Texas. The Whataburger founders sold their majority stake to BDT Capital Partners, LLC, a merchant bank based in Chicago, in 2019. | https://cw33.com/news/local/texas-native-patrick-mahomes-opens-1st-whataburger-in-kansas-city/ | 2022-06-08T17:08:49 | 1 | https://cw33.com/news/local/texas-native-patrick-mahomes-opens-1st-whataburger-in-kansas-city/ |

DALLAS (KDAF) — If you are active on Twitter or TikTok, you probably know the iconic phrase, “What the **** is up Denny’s?”
For those unfamiliar with the viral video, a quick five-second video has taken the internet by storm, showing what is a hardcore show taking place inside a Denny’s where the lead singer shouts “What the **** is up Denny’s”.
The video, which has been shared hundreds of times and liked by millions is actually a snippet of a more than four-minute-long video on YouTube titled “The Dennys Grand Slam”, posted by the band itself Live Without. The video sits at more than 2.7 million views.
But did you know this iconic internet meme spawned from Texas? Thanks to a deep dive from the YouTube channel wavywebsurf, and an interview he had with the band, we have a better understanding of the origins of this viral meme.
For an in-depth investigative look into this phenomenon, we recommend you check out his full video. It is incredibly informative and the presentation is perfectly executed.
Here are a few facts we learned from his video:
Who is the band in the video?
Live Without is a hardcore band that hails from the land of Houston. Judging from their album releases on Bandcamp and Spotify, the earliest recorded date they released music was back in 2013 with the release of their album Liars Reign.
Band members consist of:
- Matt – guitar
- Zain – drums
- Kris – vocals
- Aaron – bass
How did they manage to play a show at Denny’s?
According to their interview with wavywebsurf, they were eating at a Houston Denny’s one day when they overheard employees say the location was going out of business.
Upon hearing that, they immediately asked management in person if they could play a show there, to which staff agreed.
The band played later when the location was no longer in operation and the store owner even allowed them to play for free. Band members say they earned a little more than $100 which they offered as compensation to the owner for allowing them to play.
How did the post go viral?
Shortly after performing, Live Without posted a more than four-minute video to YouTube, with footage from the show.
Band members said in the interview that for a while, the signature catchphrase “What the **** is up Denny’s?” was just an inside joke told amongst themselves and friends within the scene.
However, after a short clip from “The Dennys Grand Slam” made its way to Twitter, that’s when the video went viral.

Bethlehem City Council may soon have a chance to approve an anti-conflict of interest ordinance, nearly five years after the body rejected a sweeping set of ethics measures.
Councilmember Paige Van Wirt has authored an ordinance that would require city officials to abstain from voting on or taking official action on any matters “in which they have a financial interest.” Financial interest is defined as campaign contributions above $250, or more than 10% investment or ownership in a business or property, and it applies to family members as well as the officials themselves.
Van Wirt said the ordinance will help bolster what she sees as weak statewide ethics laws and will improve the public’s trust in elected officials.
“It’s really something that already should be in place, because while politicians will say ‘well, I would never, ever vote just because somebody gave me money,’ it doesn’t matter what politicians think, it matters what citizens think,” Van Wirt said.
The ordinance comes after council rejected sweeping ethics measures in 2017 that would have created an ethics commission to review violations, publicly censure violators and call for their suspension or termination, and impose up to $1,000 fines. Those measures would have created legal safeguards against nepotism, conflicts of interest and campaign finance violations.
[ Bethlehem City Council rejects sweeping ethics proposal ]
After that proposal was rejected, some members said they would rather tackle ethics proposals separately via individual ordinances rather than a comprehensive one.
The proposal, spearheaded by former council member Olga Negron and current council president Michael Colon, also faced some legal pushback. Some of the measures proposed were duplicates of legal mechanisms already established by the statewide Ethics Commissions, according to former Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli.
Van Wirt said she was “disheartened” by the failure in 2017, which occurred before she was on council. She said that since taking office in 2019, it’s been her goal to reintroduce an ethics ordinance.
First Call
“While the ordinance itself probably needed some work, there was no spirit of compromise by the former council,” Van Wirt said. “Olga’s ordinance was a very far reaching ethics ordinance; it called for establishment of an ethics commission. It was a really big bite to chew on, it really was, but it didn’t mean parts of it didn’t have merit.”
Pennsylvania has its own Ethics Commission. Established in 1979, it is an independent state agency that enforces the Ethics Act. The commission investigates possible ethics violations and oversees enforcement of the act, including financial interest statements. The commission can also levy fines against violators of the act.
Though she took office in 2019, Van Wirt waited until now to introduce the ordinance because of the strong progressive majority on council this year, she said. Bethlehem swore in four new council members in January.
Allentown has an ethics board, but the board meets infrequently, usually in private meetings, and only issues advisory opinions. That board has not met once this year, city spokesperson Genesis Ortega said.
Bethlehem City Council Vice President Grace Crampsie Smith said she is “in favor” of the ethics ordinance, but wants to avoid the legal issues the 2017 ordinance faced. She wants to consult the city solicitor to ensure the ordinance will withstand any legal challenges.
Council will hold a committee of the whole meeting to discuss the ordinance; that meeting has not been scheduled.

A proposal that would allow firearms and electronic control devices in some Kenosha County buildings drew opposition and even ire from dozens of residents who attended the County Board meeting Tuesday night. The consensus of the speakers was: Don't change current policy.
Current county policy bars anyone, with the exception of law enforcement officers, from bringing firearms into its buildings. That ban has been in effect via County Board resolution since 2011.
The proposal would allow the concealed carrying of weapons in all county buildings with the exception of the Kenosha County Courthouse, the public safety building, jail, detention center, pretrial building and the Molinaro Building, which are part of the civic campus at 55th and 56th streets just west of Sheridan Road.
Should the ban be repealed, adults age 21 and older with valid firearm permits, could bring weapons to the Administration Building, which is also part of the campus and is the seat of government for the board and the county executive. It would allow weapons to be carried into a host of other county-owned buildings, such as, the Job Center, Brookside Care Center (the county’s nursing home) and the Kenosha County Center in Bristol, among others. Signs noting the current ban would be removed.
People are also reading…
That didn’t sit well with the 17 people, all who spoke during public comments for an hour in opposition to allowing weapons in county buildings. Earlier, the resolution was approved by the Public Works and Judiciary and Law committees and was on Tuesday night’s agenda for a first reading. The County Board did not act on the proposal, which it expects to vote on later this month during its second reading.
Fewer guns, less violence
Terri Wruck said her request was simple. She didn’t want the number of buildings where firearms are allowed in the county to proliferate.
“Please do not increase the number of locations that allow possession of guns. Many private establishments post no guns, no weapons, for a reason,” she said. “Guns do not make you safer. If you want less violence, have fewer guns. It’s really that simple.”
Wruck took to task the rationale that allowing possession of guns on county property would reduce the county's insurance liability. Supervisor Erin Decker, the board’s vice chairperson who authored the original resolution amendment, has contended that when the state’s concealed carry law went into effect in 2011, it conferred immunity to businesses that allowed it, but those which did not could be held liable and the same was also applicable to a municipal government, such as the county.
“If current insurance coverage is an issue, provide appropriate insurance riders. Do not let the monopolistic insurance companies decide our policies,” Wruck said. “Ultimately, the fewer guns there are, the less it will cost our municipality.”
Jodi Muerhoff criticized Supervisor Jeff Wamboldt, an officer with Kenosha Police Department’s crime prevention bureau, who she said supported “more guns in public spaces,” which have enabled some to defend themselves.
“I’m sure that’s true. But what I’d like to know how many times in Kenosha County has law enforcement been called to a scene where someone lost their temper for a moment and killed another person with a gun, which they were legally permitted to have?”
Who are you here for?
Lifting the ban on firearms would put his children in danger, said Joel Trudell, who became emotional while referring to his two young daughters. He questioned the board’s intentions for lifting the weapons’ ban.
The board’s consideration of removing barriers to toting guns in county buildings comes at a time when mass shootings are again on the rise. Still fresh in the minds of the 20 to 30 people in the audience, many who were clad in orange shirts to remember those who died as a result of gun violence, was the May 24 massacre in which an 18-year-old gunman shot and killed 19 children ages 9 to 11 and two teachers at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. The gunman was eventually shot and killed by a border patrol agent.
“Supervisors, who are you here for? What interests are you representing? I’m here for my 6-year-old girl Lorelai and that I don’t have to be a human shield for her because … we decided to play at a county park,” he said. “I’m here for my 8-year-old girl Vivian, so she’s not the victim of a stray bullet from a pretend hero deciding to stand his ground against some other guy with a gun.”
Bruce Milne said that if supervisors supported their law enforcement officers they wouldn’t take away the ban on firearms in public places.
“Most police officers want less guns on the street and they want more gun control. Sane gun control,” he said. “If you get a ghost gun, if you buy a gun from a private party you don’t have to do a background check. This is insanity. We need to really decrease the violence in this country. It’s really getting out of hand. Has the conceal and carry law decreased crime in Wisconsin? I don’t think so.”
Inappropriate, tone deaf
Jennifer Franco questioned the board’s tolerance for gun violence given the killings that have occurred. In the last few weeks the country has been “rocked to our core” from multiple mass shootings, she said. She found incredulous the recently seated County Board priorities resolutions were to throw salt on the wounds by allowing more guns in county buildings, along a proposed advisory referendum that would ask voters whether they support Wisconsin becoming a 2nd Amendment sanctuary state.
“Really? Are you kidding me? Not only are these highly inappropriate and tone deaf, but they actually will not make us safe,” she said. The referendum proposal was not on the board’s agenda.
She said that she felt safe having police officers present. Two deputies were stationed inside the County Board chambers. She also recommended that metal detectors be a part of the protocol for safety in county buildings.
“If this thing passes, I just want you to imagine, we’re going to be allowing anybody and everyone in his building … Just imagine. Anyone in this building can have a concealed weapon right now,” she said. “And we won’t know that they’re legally allowed to have that because nobody’s going to be checking that.”
Protect human services workers
Carolyn Feldt, a former county employee, said if despite the opposition from all speakers, the board must approve lifting the gun ban, she asked that it consider adding the human services building to the list of exemptions. Currently, the department's services are located at the Job Center, 8600 Sheridan Road. The one-stop shop provides everything from infant vaccinations to job training, placement of foster children and veterans’ assistance, among others.
“With all that help, it is also the place where bad news must be given by your staff. You don’t qualify for help. Your benefits are ending. A child is removed from their home. You have an infection. There’s no money to pay for what you need.
“Desperate people do desperate things, regardless of how good and law-abiding they are most of the time,” she said. “Your staff at human services must bring their best selves to work with your constituents at some of their lowest points. They need a safe workplace to do this. Please don’t believe the rhetoric that guns make us safer.” | https://www.kenoshanews.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/watch-now-kenosha-county-board-receives-earful-from-residents-opposed-to-lifting-gun-ban-in/article_21351ac0-e6ef-11ec-8e08-d73877ccfb5b.html | 2022-06-08T17:11:26 | 1 | https://www.kenoshanews.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/watch-now-kenosha-county-board-receives-earful-from-residents-opposed-to-lifting-gun-ban-in/article_21351ac0-e6ef-11ec-8e08-d73877ccfb5b.html |
CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources has announced a special payment to eligible recipients of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
The WV DHHR says the special payment of $465 is part of the COVID-19 Pandemic Response and will go to TANF recipients who were active in the WV WORKS program in May 2022 and are still eligible to continue participating in the program for June 2022.
According to the DHHR, the payment has been funded through the TANF Pandemic Emergency Assistance Fund. Health officials say the goal of the special payment is to help families with the rising costs of healthy food, beverages, and household goods, as well as the rising costs for transportation needed to find employment, attend work, or continue education.
The payment will be credited to recipients’ Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards around June 9, 2022.
For more information, recipients should contact their local DHHR offices. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/eligible-wv-tanf-recipients-to-receive-special-payment-to-offset-rising-costs/ | 2022-06-08T17:17:36 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/eligible-wv-tanf-recipients-to-receive-special-payment-to-offset-rising-costs/ |
ST. ALBANS, WV (WOWK) – Former WVU football star and running back Robert Alexander has died. He was 64 years old.
According to St. Albans Mayor Scott James, Alexander was found dead in his home on the evening of Tuesday, June 7, 2022.
Mayor James tells 13 News there were no signs of foul play and Alexander’s body has been sent to the state medical examiner’s office.
Alexander was born in Charleston, West Virginia in 1958. He started playing football at South Charleston High School before attending West Virginia University to play at the collegiate level. During his senior year of high school, he was picked by Parade Magazine as High School Football Player National Player of the Year.
Alexander became a starter for the Mountaineers football team during his junior year at WVU. His senior year as a Mountaineer in 1980, Alexander scored five touchdowns and a career-high and team-high of 1,064 yards. With a career total of 2,474 yards rushing, he was ranked second on the school’s career rushing yards list. He is now ranked at the 10 on the list.
Following his collegiate career, Alexander was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams as a tenth-round pick in the 1981 NFL Draft. He played with the team for two seasons. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/former-wvu-football-star-robert-alexander-dies-at-64/ | 2022-06-08T17:17:43 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/former-wvu-football-star-robert-alexander-dies-at-64/ |
CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — A proposed gas tax holiday will not be providing much-needed relief to the pockets of Mountain State residents. The state’s average price per gallon reached $4.74 on Tuesday, just 18¢ below the national average.
In a press conference Wednesday, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced he will not call a special legislative session focusing on suspending the state’s 35.7¢ per gallon gasoline tax.
Democrats in the legislature called for the governor to suspend the gas tax back in March when prices reached $4.11. On April 22, Democratic lawmakers sent Gov. Justice a letter requesting the suspension, a message that the governor opposed at the time. Since then, prices have only gone up, with lawmakers worried about high gas prices reducing Mountain State tourism.
However, Gov. Justice has continued his opposition, saying a special session for the gas tax holiday is a “waste of time” that will “only cost taxpayers money.” He said the gas tax gives $36 million to $40 million in funds to improve state funds and provides “decades of benefit.”
“You know where I’ve stood before, and I’ve thought about it, and absolutely I do still contend that the very best thing, the very best thing [sic] is to put our money, keep our money going toward our roads, and fixing slips and guardrails and everything that make absolutely [sic] West Virginia better,” Gov. Justice said.
Toward the end of the conference, Gov. Justice said “left-wing nutjobs” in Washington, DC, are to blame for the rising gas prices across the country. The governor said energy independence is crucial in West Virginia during a time when the direction of the nation is uncertain.
“Now we have a situation to where our people in this great state are driving looking up at a sign that says gasoline five dollars,” Gov. Justice said. “Really and truly, it’s all driven absolutely right at the feet of President Biden and his absolute out-of-control administration in DC.” | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/gov-justice-special-session-for-gas-tax-holiday-is-waste-of-time-and-will-only-cost-taxpayers-money/ | 2022-06-08T17:17:49 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/gov-justice-special-session-for-gas-tax-holiday-is-waste-of-time-and-will-only-cost-taxpayers-money/ |
ATHENS, OH (WOWK)—Two people are in custody after a “knock and talk” operation at a motel in Athens, Ohio.
According to a release from the Southeast Major Crimes Task Force, deputies searched for 36-year-old Joshua Schall, of Guysville, and 35-year-old Ashley Meeks, of Coolville. They say that both had active felony warrants out of Athens County.
Agents found Schall and Meeks at the Days Inn in Athens. They say that Schall had a syringe full of suspected narcotics in his hand when they found him. They also say they seized suspected fentanyl and other drug-related evidence.
Schall and Meeks were taken to the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail, and the suspected drugs will be sent to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation laboratory for analysis. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/two-arrested-at-athens-days-inn-in-drug-trafficking-investigation/ | 2022-06-08T17:17:55 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/two-arrested-at-athens-days-inn-in-drug-trafficking-investigation/ |
PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland, Oregon, software company and its staffing agency will each pay $112,500 to a deaf job applicant who said they refused to hire him because he requested a sign-language interpreter at a group job interview.
Viewpoint Construction Software’s technology helps contractors plan and manage large projects. Its recruiting firm, Seattle-based CampusPoint Corp., focuses on connecting companies with job applicants just out of school.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued the firms last year on behalf of Indigo Matthew, a Portland man who applied to work as a product and pricing analyst in 2018, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
The EEOC alleged that Matthew passed an initial screening and requested an American Sign Language interpreter for a group interview at Viewpoint.
The firms refused to pay for the interpreter, according to the EEOC, because they “erroneously assumed that Matthew would need a fulltime interpreter if he was hired for the analyst position.”
The EEOC alleged he was unable to persuade CampusPoint to revisit the issue.
The settlement, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Portland, requires the firms to take steps to ensure they comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, create an appeals process if it rejects disabled employees or applicants’ requests for accommodations and other measures.
Viewpoint declined to comment on the settlement. | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/deaf-job-applicant-wins-225k-settlement-discrimination/283-a52632e7-9516-4d62-bcfb-c3637c565a58 | 2022-06-08T17:29:32 | 1 | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/deaf-job-applicant-wins-225k-settlement-discrimination/283-a52632e7-9516-4d62-bcfb-c3637c565a58 |
Diana Adams appointed to West Melbourne City Council, replacing Daniel Batcheldor
Diana Adams has been selected to fulfill Daniel Batcheldor's unexpired five-month term on the West Melbourne City Council.
Adams is executive director of the Brevard Heart Foundation. She is also co-owner and community engagement coordinator for Rock Paper Simple, a digital marketing agency — and she joined the LEAD Brevard board of directors last week.
“As a small business owner with my husband, I have worked on budgets and contracts and built relationships with clients. I actively seek ways to support the local community and give back, and I want to see other local businesses thrive here in our city," Adams wrote in her application.
"I believe cities benefit from leaders with business experience because they are run similarly to businesses where it is important to have a balanced budget, solve issues, provide quality service to others, and plan for the future,” Adams wrote.
Tuesday night, the West Melbourne City Council publicly interviewed Adams and three other applicants: Adam Gaffney, William Johnson and Justin Matoska.
Afterward, four of the six council members — Mayor Hal Rose, Pat Bentley, John Dittmore and Stephen Phrampus — chose Adams in a ballot poll.
Gaffney received the other two ballot votes, from Deputy Mayor Andrea Young and Daniel McDow.
The City Council then unanimously appointed Adams, who took the oath of office from City Clerk Cynthia Hanscom.

Batcheldor, who was elected in November 2018, resigned effective June 1. He and his family are moving to upstate New York.
Adams will fulfill the remainder of Batcheldor's term, which expires on Nov. 22. On that date, a candidate elected in the general election will take the oath of office.
Four City Council candidates have announced they will run in the November general election thus far, and three seats are available. Those candidates are Adams; incumbents Dittmore and Young; and William Johnson.
Adams is pursuing a doctorate degree in public administration from Valdosta State University, her resume shows. From 2016 to 2020, she worked as a fourth and fifth grade teacher at Freedom 7 Elementary in Cocoa Beach — where she won the statewide Dr. Theron Trimble Elementary Social Studies Teacher of the Year Award.
She serves on West Melbourne's Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Business Advisory Board, and she is secretary on the Space Coast Field of Dreams board of directors.
Rose said West Melbourne officials received 12 inquiries about the vacant council seat. Six people applied, two of whom later withdrew.
On June 21, the City Council is expected to consider an employment contract that will promote Assistant City Manager Tim Rhode to the city manager's post. City Manager Scott Morgan, who is retiring, will step down at the end of August.

DALLAS — WFAA was presented with a national award recognizing the station's commitment to raising adoption awareness this week.
On Tuesday night at the Anthem Theatre in Washington, D.C., the National Association of Broadcasters presented WFAA with its 2022 Service to America Award in the Service to Community Award for Television category, recognizing the station's ongoing commitment to raising adoption awareness through its 40-years-running "Wednesday’s Child" series as well as the company's 2021 "Celebrate the Love" adoption special.
This latest honor comes on the heels of WFAA winning a handful of awards from the National Press Photographer’s Association, including a win for 2022 large-market station of the year.
"I am so proud of this award because it represents all that we stand for, in serving the greater good of our community, and because of the involvement of so many of you on our team who have a very personal connection to adoption," WFAA president and general manager Brad Ramsey said in his acceptance speech on Tuesday.
The two other stations in the running for the 2022 Service to America Award included KYW-TV in Philadelphia and WLKY-TV in Louisville. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/wfaa-wins-2022-national-association-of-broadcasters-service-to-america-award/287-52c5d30b-0a0d-4951-95cf-c8399f695ba2 | 2022-06-08T17:42:47 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/wfaa-wins-2022-national-association-of-broadcasters-service-to-america-award/287-52c5d30b-0a0d-4951-95cf-c8399f695ba2 |
BLOOMINGTON – A 16-year-old Bloomington boy was sentenced Wednesday to 2½ years in custody of the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice after pleading guilty to bringing a gun to school last year.
Tayshaun T. Johnson was sentenced on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm (Class 3 felony), which he pleaded guilty to April 12.
Police were called to Bloomington High School Nov. 4, 2021, after school staff located “what appeared to be a firearm” in Johnson’s backpack. School staff searched his bag because it smelled like cannabis, prosecutors have said.
Police located a loaded 9 mm handgun within a case inside his backpack, authorities said.
Johnson was charged in adult court three weeks after his arrest.
Bloomington police Officer Scott Day, who is the Bloomington High School resource officer, testified that there was a fight Nov. 2, 2021, at the high school involving one of Johnson’s friends. Johnson’s friend then conveyed to others that he was attempting to obtain a handgun from an older local gang member because of the fight, Day said.
Police located the firearm in Johnson’s backpack two days after the Nov. 2 fight.
Prosecutors asked the judge to issue the maximum sentence possible for Johnson: five years in prison, with the first two to be served in the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice.
Public defense attorney Arthur Feldman asked the judge to sentence Johnson to probation and 180 days in jail. He emphasized Johnson’s age, his lack of criminal history, the community services available to him and his ability to rehabilitate.
While Feldman said Johnson made a “bad decision” to bring a gun to school, he also noted that Johnson never brandished or used the weapon.
Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Lawson said probation would diminish the seriousness of the offense.
“The idea that an individual could walk into any of the schools in the community with a loaded firearm and then be placed back in the community, the state does not believe is appropriate,” Lawson said.
Judge Casey Costigan said Johnson is likely to complete his sentence before needing to be transferred to the Illinois Department of Corrections. Johnson received credit for 217 days already served in the McLean County Juvenile Detention Center since his arrest.
Johnson voluntarily withdrew from Bloomington Public School District 87 in November last year, superintendent Barry Reilly had said.
Two Class 4 felony charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon were dismissed in a plea agreement.

A 32-year-old Lincoln man is in jail for the second time in two months after police again caught him sawing off a catalytic converter, according to authorities.
Lincoln Police responded around 6 a.m. Tuesday to Le Auto Center, near 22nd and Fairfield streets, where responding officers found Sergey Stoyan underneath a 2008 Honda Prius after a passerby reported a theft-in-progress at the business, Capt. Todd Kocian said.
Stoyan, who was arrested in April under the same circumstances in east Lincoln, fled the officers on foot Tuesday morning, Kocian said, ignoring commands to stop.
Kocian said officers shocked the 32-year-old with a Taser after he rummaged in his waistband. He was taken to a local hospital for medical evaluation before being transported to the Lancaster County jail. He was not found to have a weapon.

Police arrested Stoyan on suspicion of possessing burglar's tools and possession of a controlled substance after officers found him in possession of a saw and saw blades, along with a pipe containing suspected methamphetamine residue, Kocian said.
Stoyan was also arrested and charged last week after a Lancaster County Sheriff's deputy found him removing copper piping from the recently demolished Shakers Gentleman's Club site in Waverly, Capt. John Vik said.
Tom Casady's list of the 10 most infamous crimes in Lincoln history
Crimes of the times
This is simply one man’s perspective from the early 21st century (first written in 2010). I had to make a decision about crimes that occurred at locations that are inside the city today, but were outside our corporate limits at the time they occurred. I chose the latter.
Before beginning, though, I have to deal with three crimes that stand apart: the murders of three police officers in Lincoln. I’m not quite sure how to place them in a list. They all had huge impacts on the community, and on the police department in particular. Because these are my colleagues, I deal with them separately and in chronological order.
Patrolman Marion Francis Marshall
Shot in the shadow of the new Nebraska State Capital, Gov. Charles Bryan came to his aid and summoned additional help.
Lt. Frank Soukup
Marion Marshall was technically not a Lincoln police officer, so Lt. Soukup was actually the first Lincoln police officer killed on duty. One of his colleagues who was present at the motel and involved in the gunbattle, Paul Jacobsen, went on to enjoy a long career and command rank at LPD, influencing many young charges (like me) and leaving his mark on the culture of the agency.
Lt. Paul Whitehead
In the space of a few months, three LPD officers died in the line of duty. Frank Soukup had been murdered, and George Welter had died in a motorcycle crash. Paul Whitehead's partner, Paul Merritt, went on to command rank, and like Paul Jacobsen left an indelible mark at LPD and the community.
No. 1: Starkweather
The subject of several thinly disguised movie plots and a Springsteen album, the Starkweather murders are clearly the most infamous crime in Lincoln’s history — so far. One of the first mass murderers of the mass media age, six of Charles Starkweather’s 11 victims were killed inside the city of Lincoln, and the first was just on the outskirts of town. I didn’t live in Lincoln at the time, but my wife was a first-grader at Riley Elementary School and has vivid memories of the city gripped by fear in the days between the discovery of the Bartlett murders and Starkweather’s capture in Wyoming.
The case caused quite an uproar. There was intense criticism of the police department and sheriff’s office for not capturing Starkweather earlier in the week after the discovery of the Bartletts' bodies. Ultimately, Mayor Bennett Martin and the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners retained a retired FBI agent, Harold G. Robinson, to investigate the performance of local law enforcement. His report essentially exonerated the local law officers and made a few vanilla recommendations for improving inter-agency communication and training.
Now I know that many readers are mumbling to themselves “how obvious.” Hold your horses, though. It’s not quite as obvious as you might think. I had two experiences that drove this fact home to me. The first was a visit by a small group of journalism students. Only one member of the class had any idea, and her idea was pretty vague. You need to remember that the Starkweather murders were in 1957 and 1958 — before the parents of many college students were even born.
The second experience was a visit by a Cub Scout den. I was giving the kids a tour of the police station one evening. We were in the front lobby waiting for everyone to arrive. As I entertained the boys, I told the moms and dads that they might enjoy looking in the corner of the Sheriff’s Office display case to see the contents of Starkweather’s wallet — discovered a couple of years ago locked up in the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office safe. After a few minutes, one of the confused fathers asked me who Starkweather was, and why it was significant.
No. 2: Lincoln National Bank
On the morning of Sept. 17, 1930, a dark blue Buick carrying six men pulled up in front of the Lincoln National Bank at the northwest corner of 12th and O streets. Five of the men entered the bank, while a sixth stood outside by the Buick, cradling a machine gun. Observing the unusual events, a passerby called the police. The officer who responded, Forrest Shappaugh, was casually instructed by the machine-gun-toting lookout to just keep going, which he wisely did. Returning with reinforcements, he found that the robbers had already made good on their getaway, netting $2.7 million in cash and negotiable securities.
Ultimately, three of the six suspects were arrested. Tommy O’Connor and Howard Lee were convicted and sentenced. Jack Britt was tried twice but not convicted by a hung jury. Gus Winkeler, a member of Al Capone’s gang, winged a deal with County Attorney Max Towle to avoid prosecution in exchange for orchestrating the recovery of $600,000 in bearer bonds. The following year, Winkeler was murdered in Chicago, the victim of a gangland slaying. The final two robbers were never identified.
The Lincoln National Bank robbery stood as the largest cash bank robbery in the United States for many decades. It precipitated major changes at the Lincoln Police Department. Chief Peter Johnstone was rapidly “retired” after the robbery, the department’s fleet was upgraded to add the first official patrol cars, the full force was armed and a shotgun squad was organized. Forty-four years later when I was hired at LPD, the echo of the Lincoln National Bank robbery was still evident in daily bank opening details, and in the Thomspon submachine guns and Reising rifles that detectives grabbed whenever the robbery alarm sounded at headquarters.
No. 3: The Last Posse
My first inkling about this crime came when I was the chief deputy sheriff. One of my interns, a young man named Ron Boden (who became a veteran deputy sheriff), had been doing some research on Lancaster County’s only known lynching, in 1884. I came across a reference in the biography of the sheriff at the time, Sam Melick, to the murder of the Nebraska Penitentiary warden and subsequent prison break. Melick had been appointed interim warden after the murder and instituted several reforms.
Several years later, a colleague, Sgt. Geoff Marti, loaned me a great book, Gale Christianson’s "Last Posse," that told the story of the 1912 prison break in gory, haunting and glorious detail.
To make a long story short, convict Shorty Gray and his co-conspirators shot and killed Warden James Delahunty, a deputy warden and a guard on Wednesday, March 13, 1912. They then made their break — right into the teeth of a brutal Nebraska spring blizzard. Over the course to the next few days, a posse pursued. During the pursuit, the escapees carjacked a young farmer with his team and wagon. As the posse closed in, a gunfight broke out and the hostage was shot and killed in the exchange, along with two of the three escapees.
There was plenty of anger among the locals in the Gretna-Springfield vicinity about the death of their native son, and a controversy raged over the law enforcement tactics that brought about his demise. Lancaster County Sheriff Gus Hyers was not unsullied by the inquiry, although it appears from my prospect a century later that the fog of war led to the tragedy.
Christianson, a professor of history at Indiana State University who died earlier this year, notes the following on the flyleaf:
“For anyone living west of the Mississippi in 1912, the biggest news that fateful year was a violent escape from the Nebraska state penitentiary planned and carried out by a trio of notorious robbers and safe blowers.”
Bigger news on half the continent than the sinking of the Titanic during the same year would certainly qualify this murder-escape as one of the most infamous Lincoln crimes in history.
No. 4: Rock Island wreck
The Aug. 10, 1894, wreck of a Rock Island train on the southwest outskirts of Lincoln was almost lost in the mist of time until it was resurrected in the public consciousness by author Joel Williams, who came across the story while conducting research for his historical novel, "Barrelhouse Boys."
The wreck was determined to be the result of sabotage to the tracks, perhaps an attempt to derail the train as a prelude to robbery. Eleven people died in the crash and ensuing fire, making this a mass murder, to be sure. G.W. Davis was arrested and convicted of the crime but later received a full pardon. The story was told in greater detail earlier this year by the Lincoln Journal Star.
A historical marker is along the Rock Island Trail in Wilderness Park, accessible only by foot or bike from the nearest trail access points about a half-mile away at Old Cheney Road on the north, or 14th Street on the south.
Here’s the big question that remains unanswered: Was there really significant evidence to prove that George Washington Davis committed the crime, or was he just a convenient scapegoat? The fact that he received a gubernatorial pardon 10 years later leads me to believe that the evidence must have been unusually weak. If he was railroaded, then my second question is this: who really pried loose the tracks with the 40-pound crowbar found at the scene?
No. 5: Commonwealth
On Nov. 1, 1983, the doors to Nebraska’s largest industrial savings and loan company were closed and Commonwealth was declared insolvent. The 6,700 depositors with $65 million at stake would never be fully compensated for their loss, ultimately receiving about 59 cents on the dollar for their deposits, which they all mistakenly believed were insured up to $30,000 through the Nebraska Depository Insurance Guaranty Corporation, which was essentially an insurance pool with assets of only $3 million.
The case dominated Nebraska news for months. The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of three members of the prominent Lincoln family that owned the institution, the resignation of the director of the State Department of Banking and the impeachment of the Nebraska attorney general and the suspension of his license to practice law. State and federal litigation arising from the failure of Commonwealth drug on for years.
At the Lincoln Police Department, the Commonwealth failure led to the formation of a specialized white-collar crime detail, now known as the Technical Investigations Unit. At the time, municipal police departments in the United States had virtually no capacity for investigating financial crime and fraud of this magnitude, and we quickly became well known for our expertise in this area. The early experience served LPD very well in the ensuring years.
No. 6: Candice Harms
Candi Harms never came home from visiting her boyfriend on Sept. 22, 1992. Her parents reported her as a missing person the following morning, and her car was found abandoned in a cornfield north of Lincoln later in the day. Weeks went by before her remains were found southeast of Lincoln.
Scott Barney and Roger Bjorklund were convicted in her abduction and murder. Barney is in prison serving a life term. Bjorklund died in prison in 2001. Intense media attention surrounded the lengthy trial of Roger Bjorklund, for which a jury was brought in from Cheyenne County as an alternative to a change of venue. I have no doubt that the trial was a life-changing event for a group of good citizens from Sidney, who did their civic duty.
I was the Lancaster County sheriff at the time, involved both in the investigation and in the trial security. It was at about this time that the cellular telephone was becoming a consumer product, and I have often thought that this brutal crime probably spurred a lot of purchases. During my career, this is probably the second-most-prominent Lincoln crime in terms of the sheer volume of media coverage.
No. 7: Jon Simpson and Jacob Surber
A parent’s worst nightmare unfolded in September 1975 when these two boys, ages 12 and 13, failed to return from the Nebraska State Fair. The boys were the victims of abduction and murder. The case was similar to a string of other murders of young boys in the Midwest, and many thought that these cases were related -- the work of a serial killer. Although an arrest was made in the case here in Lincoln, the charges were eventually dismissed. William Guatney was released and has since died.
No. 8: John Sheedy
Saloon and gambling house owner John Sheedy was gunned down outside his home at 1211 P St. in January 1891. The case of Sheedy, prominent in Lincoln’s demiworld, became the talk of the town when his wife, Mary, and her alleged lover and accomplice, Monday McFarland, were arrested. Both were acquitted at trial. The Sheedy murder is chronicled in a great interactive multimedia website, Gilded Age Plains City, an online version that builds upon an article published in 2001 by Timothy Mahoney of the University of Nebraska.
No. 9: Patricia McGarry and Catherine Brooks
The bodies of these two friends were found in a Northeast Lincoln duplex in August 1977. Their murderer, Robert E. Williams, was the subject of a massive Midwest manhunt during the following week. Before his capture, he committed a third murder in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and raped, shot and left for dead a victim who survived in Minnesota. He is the last man to be executed in Nebraska, sent to the electric chair in 1997.
No. 10: Judge William M. Morning
District Court Judge William Morning was murdered in February 1924. He was shot on the bench by an unhappy litigant in a divorce case. His court reporter, Minor Bacon, was also shot, but a notebook in his breast pocket deflected the bullet and saved his life.
Many other crimes
Choosing Lincoln's 10 most infamous crimes was a challenge. Although the top two were easy, the picture quickly became clouded. We tend, of course, to forget our history rather quickly. Many of the crimes I felt were among the most significant are barely remembered today, if not completely forgotten.
Some readers will take issue with my list. In choosing 10, here are the others I considered, in no particular order. They are all murders:
-- Mary O'Shea
-- Nancy Parker
-- Charles Mulholland
-- Victoria Lamm and Janet Mesner
-- Martina McMenamin
-- Regina Bos (presumably murdered)
-- Patty Webb
-- Marianne Mitzner
I also thought about the five murder-suicides in which a mother or father killed multiple family members before taking their own life. Though tragic, these crimes did not command the same kind of attention as the others, perhaps because there was no lengthy investigation, no tantalizing whodunit, no stranger-killer, nor any of the details that come out in the coverage of a major trial.

Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird joined more than 200 mayors — as she did in 2019 — encouraging senators to take action on two gun safety bills passed by the House.
“Words are not enough,” she said on a Facebook post with a link to the letter. “We have been going around in circles about guns for decades. There are commonsense gun safety measures we can take at the state and federal levels that repeatedly go nowhere as we offer condolences and condolences and condolences rather than solutions.”
The letter from the U.S. Conference of Mayors reissued the 2019 letter to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and minority leader Sen. Chuck Schumer in response to the mass shootings at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
Today, the same two bills passed by the House more than a year ago — before the mayors’ first letter — are still pending in the Senate.
The bills are the Bipartisan Background Check Act, which the mayors said would close serious loopholes in the background check system; and the Enhanced Background Checks Act, which would extend the background check review period from three to 10 business days.
The first bill, H.R. 8, passed the House on a bipartisan vote of 240-190; the second, H.R. 1112, passed on a bipartisan vote of 228-198.
The first letter from the mayors came in response to a shooting outside a bar in Dayton, Ohio, that killed nine people and wounded 17 others; and one at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, that killed 23 people and injured 23 others.
The letter says the two bills are “sensible gun safety bills” that would make cities and people safer without compromising gun owners’ rights.

A Sierra Vista Police Department officer resigned on Tuesday after being indicted on charges of computer tampering for accessing information on the department and state database for personal reasons.
On March 9, SVPD received information about the unauthorized database access by Officer Raymond Pyle last August during another investigation, a SVPD news release said. The department requested the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office conduct a criminal investigation into the matter.
On April 20, SVPD received a brief from detectives that they had evidence showing Pyle had conducted an unauthorized search of the SVPD and state database and would be referring the case to the Cochise County Attorney’s Office for review, the news release said. That same day, Pyle was placed on paid administrative leave and SVPD opened an administrative investigation.
The Cochise County Attorney’s Office presented the case to a grand jury on June 2 and Pyle was indicted on two charges of computer tampering, the news release said. Following the indictment, SVPD sustained violations of department and city policy.

Pyle was notified that termination of employment proceedings were being initiated and he resigned effective immediately, the news release said. The case is being forwarded to the Arizona Peace Officers Standards and Training Board for its review.
“Officer Pyle’s violation of the public’s trust by using departmental resources to acquire information for personal use cannot be tolerated,” SVPD Police Chief Adam Thrasher said in the news release.
Pyle was hired by the department in January 2021. | https://tucson.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/sierra-vista-police-officer-indicted-on-computer-tampering-charges/article_fadbc334-e747-11ec-aa87-8b014bb00c72.html | 2022-06-08T17:47:05 | 1 | https://tucson.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/sierra-vista-police-officer-indicted-on-computer-tampering-charges/article_fadbc334-e747-11ec-aa87-8b014bb00c72.html |
The Justice Department has named a team of nine people, including an FBI official and former police chiefs, to aid in a review of the law enforcement response to the Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the team during a meeting in his office in Washington on Wednesday. The critical incident review is being led by the Justice Department’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.
The review will include an examination of police policies, training and communication, along with the deployment of officers and tactics, the Justice Department said. It will also examine who was in command of the incident and how police prepared for potential active-shooter incidents.
In a statement, the Justice Department said it was committed to “moving as expeditiously as possible in the development of the report.” Officials said the team would conduct a complete reconstruction of the shooting; review all relevant documents, including policies, photos and videos; conduct a visit to the school; and interview an array of witnesses and families of the victims, along with police, school and government officials.
“Nothing can undo the pain that has been inflicted on the loved ones of the victims, the survivors and the entire community of Uvalde,” Garland said in a statement. “But the Justice Department can and will use its expertise and independence to assess what happened and to provide guidance moving forward.”
The review was requested by Uvalde’s mayor. Such a review is somewhat rare, and most after-action reports that come after a mass shooting are generally compiled by local law enforcement agencies or outside groups. The Justice Department conducted similar reviews after 14 people were killed in a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, in 2015 and after the mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the deadliest attack on the LGBTQ community in U.S. history, which left 49 people dead and 53 people wounded in 2016.
The Justice Department said the nine officials on the team in the Uvalde case had been selected for their expertise in law enforcement, emergency management, active shooter response, school safety and other areas. The team includes the former chief of the Sacramento, California, Police Department, a deputy chief who worked at Virginia Tech, the sheriff in Orange County, Florida, an FBI unit chief and other officials.

Two weeks ago, the 19 students and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Law enforcement and state officials have struggled to present an accurate timeline and details, and they have stopped releasing information about the police response.
The gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, spent roughly 80 minutes inside Robb Elementary, and more than an hour passed from when the first officers followed him into the building and when he was killed, according to an official timeline. In the meantime, parents outside begged police to rush in, and panicked children called 911 from inside. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/attorney-general-names-team-reviewing-of-police-response-to-uvalde-school-shooting/2987748/ | 2022-06-08T17:48:09 | 1 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/attorney-general-names-team-reviewing-of-police-response-to-uvalde-school-shooting/2987748/ |

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — The Chambersburg Borough Police Department on Wednesday announced the launch of its Body-Worn Camera Program.
Officers will use the Body-Worn Cameras during their shifts while on calls for service or officer generated activities, the department said.
The department purchased the cameras from Watch Guard Motorola through a grant, in collaboration with Franklin County government, which was awarded by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
The Chambersburg Police Department is the first agency in Franklin County to obtain and deploy Body-Worn Cameras.
Chief Ron Camacho said in a statement he is pleased and optimistic that the use of this technology will further the department’s continued goal of transparency while also reinforcing the great work and effort of Chambersburg Police Officers. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/franklin-county/chambersburg-police-body-worn-camera-program/521-7bff232e-6bcc-41fd-9046-171ad09035d2 | 2022-06-08T17:53:43 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/franklin-county/chambersburg-police-body-worn-camera-program/521-7bff232e-6bcc-41fd-9046-171ad09035d2 |

Climate change is not your fault, but that doesn't mean you're off the hook
If you're sick of being made to feel like climate change is your fault and that you should be riding your bike to work to stop it, then you should have been in southern California last weekend.
At the inaugural West Coast Climate Crisis Symposium, panels of experts discussed topics ranging from how rising temperatures will alter the oceans to expected changes in water access, food production and risk of future pandemics on land.
A common thread was the question of who is to blame, and the conclusion, mostly, was that it's not you. Not specifically.
"It isn't realistic, in many cases, to ask people to reduce their individual carbon footprint to the point where, if everybody did it, it would actually solve the problem," said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, as part of a panel discussion on climate blame Saturday morning.
But before you breathe a sigh of relief, know that the scientific consensus is that climate change is still coming for each of us whether we accept responsibility for it or not, though some people will bear more of the consequences than others.
Latest from the IPCC:Climate experts say the world 'is at a crossroads,' but offer hope with concrete actions
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, out April 4, noted that we are not on track to stay under the goal set by scientists in 2018 of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) average global temperature rise. Missing that target will lock in atmospheric warming that will catalyze disastrous and expensive storms, flooding, heat waves, drought and crop failures.
"On the green scorecard, we failed loud and clear," said Inger Anderson, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, about the report in April.
The good news is that the 278 scientists from 65 countries who authored that report also concluded that there is still a narrow window of time to avoid the worst climate impacts, if enough systemic change can be coordinated to cut global emissions in half by 2030. They outlined four ways to pursue that. And individual average citizens do have a role to play in making that happen.
What is a 'carbon footprint' really?
The entire idea of an single person's carbon footprint, Swain said, is an early-2000s oil industry construct meant to deflect responsibility for tempering the greenhouse gas emissions, released mainly by burning fossil fuels, that are known to be causing atmospheric warming.
It caught on, and for years, climate activists primarily asked people to drive fewer miles and use cloth shopping bags at the grocery store. Even the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wants to help each of us calculate our household's carbon footprint, by inputting our thermostat settings, the number of vehicles we own and whether we recycle our magazines.
These steps are, certainly, all helpful.
But the concept of an individual carbon footprint is straight from the public relations playbook of huge corporations that have historically launched ad campaigns to convince the masses that, to whatever degree their products do engender any sort of harm, it's really up to consumers to contain it.
State-level action needed:Democracy can lead to climate change solutions, but it may be up to states to act first
The blame for plastic pollution, for example, was placed on litterers in a 1971 ad campaign featuring a thoughtless trash-tosser, a "crying Indian" offended by the defiling of nature and a tagline that read "People Start Pollution. People Can Stop It." The campaign was bankrolled by a coalition of corporations that call themselves "Keep America Beautiful" and include plastic-producing giants Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestle and, more recently, Keurig and Poland Spring bottled water.
Even when the damage has been well-known for decades, corporations still spend big money on distracting consumers from the true costs of their products. In 2019, tobacco companies spent $22.5 million per day promoting cigarettes to customers, including young people and marginalized communities, despite the known health risks that are the reason the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention track this spending. If you smoke and end up with cancer, you have only yourself to blame, the strategy seems to suggest.
The sham at hand in the climate blame game, Mark Kaufman of Mashable argues, is the "carbon footprint." The term was invented in 2000 by British Petroleum (BP) oil, the same company that, in 2010 would spill 130 millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, changing the wellbeing of its wildlife and fisheries in ways still measurable 10 years later.
A source from Stanford Law School Kaufman spoke with said that “even a homeless person living in a fossil fuel powered society has an unsustainably high carbon footprint. As long as fossil fuels are the basis for the energy system, you could never have a sustainable carbon footprint. You simply can’t do it.”
How to know what is helpful action:We can’t purchase our way to a cooler climate, experts say. Not even on Earth Day
That was also the point made repeatedly at Saturday's climate crisis event: that, while individual action does matter, societal reorganization of energy systems matters first.
"It's not because the problem is unsolvable," Swain said. "But it's because the systems that currently exist aren't designed to make it realistic for individuals (to have) choices. What we need to be able to do is redesign lots of societal systems: transportation, agriculture, energy generation, such that it becomes almost trivially easy to make choices that are good for the environment that are low carbon."
How to rewire the system
During a second panel at the climate event, energy experts discussed how an energy infrastructure revolution on par with changes made to manufacturing during World War II could get the electricity grid updated with renewable sources that would enable consumers to make decisions that would actually, significantly cut their carbon footprints.
"We need electrification and we need everything on the demand side to be electrified," said Keishaa Austin, head of engagement and partnerships at Rewiring America and a former regulatory analyst with the energy division at the California Public Utilities Commission.
Benefits of widespread electrification, the nonprofit organization calculates, include an annual average savings of $356 per household on energy bills, a reduction of 166 million metric tons of CO2 emissions and 462,000 local green energy sector jobs. Switching away from gas-fueled stoves and other appliances would also address childhood asthma and premature deaths due to pollution, they say.
The balance of climate change:The power of the sun, of the people and of politics. The climate depends on all 3
In Arizona, the value of electrification would be among the greatest for any state. They expect 99% of households in Arizona to see a reduction in their energy bill from electrification, compared to 39% for states like Michigan and Wisconsin. Average annual savings in Arizona would be $376 per household. Nearly 5,000 local installation jobs would be created.
"The lowest hanging fruit is renewable energy, which it makes sense to pursue most aggressively at first because it is probably the place where we can most quickly point things in a direction that is low or no carbon," Swain said Saturday.
The way to get there, Austin says, is to create government incentives and rebate programs to help households and workplaces replace outdated appliances with higher-efficiency models that will use electricity from renewable sources.
Other initiatives they support include expanding programs to get more rooftop and community solar installed and working on improving access to affordable electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. It's a sort of "if you build it they will come" mindset that is supported by studies showing that people are more willing to ride their bikes, for example, if their cities construct more safe places for them to do so.
"That's what we have to do, is we have to sort of create the market for it," Austin said.
A cold, hard look at change
Former technology and business journalist Molly Wood weighed in on the role capitalism has to play in restructuring individual access to electrification. After a career reporting on economic matters, Wood is now the managing director at LAUNCH, a venture capital firm that invests in early stage climate solution start-ups.
"When I take a cold, hard look at the history of change, it is the combination of innovation, advocacy and economics that leads to those real outcomes," Wood said at Saturday's event. "All three of those things are necessary."
Climate change inequities:Climate report draws an arc toward environmental justice, seeking equitable emissions cuts
Middle and upper class people, those who are least affected by climate change because they have the money to insulate themselves, are responsible for helping to create the market that will enable climate solutions, Wood argued.
She gave the example of high-fructose corn syrup, which used to be much more widespread than it is now. The reason this cheap sweetener isn't as common on grocery store shelves today is because science showed it was "essentially poison in any amount," she said. Consumers demanded it go away, and it did.
Wood says the same approach can be used to drive the market toward sustainable climate solutions that, right now, might seem impossible to adopt at scale.
"Every single technology that's ever existed started as unaffordable, got adopted, and became more affordable," Wood said. "So it's my job as an investor now to find the companies that will give you these technologies to buy. And then it's your job as a person who can afford to buy it, to buy it. And that's how we drive real change."
So, as individuals, we can breathe easy that climate change isn't all our fault. But we could breathe even easier if we upgraded our homes to run on renewable electric energy sources instead of polluting gas power. Add in voting for climate-conscious politicians, and we'll each be on our way to doing our part to rewire the system and reduce society's carbon footprint."

Frank Atwood execution updates: Atwood's final statement: 'I pray the Lord will have mercy on all of us'
Arizona's second execution so far this year took place onWednesday morning.
Frank Jarvis Atwood, 66, was put to death for the 1984 kidnapping and murder of 8-year-old Vicki Lynne Hoskinson. His lethal injection comes less than a month after the May execution of Clarence Dixon — the state's first since 2014.
Atwood is the 39th person executed in Arizona since 1992.
Debbie Carlson, Vicki's mother, at Atwood's clemency hearing in May said his execution would bring final justice for her daughter and mark a new beginning for her family.
"We chose the death penalty because we never wanted another child to have to be faced by this monster," she said. "We wanted to make sure another family was spared and not have to live what we have lived for the last 37 1/2 years."
Follow coverage from Republic reporters of the execution here.
10:45 a.m.: Atwood's final statement: 'I pray the Lord will have mercy on all of us'
Frank Atwood chose to make a final statement. According to Frank Strada, Arizona Department of Corrections director, this was his final statement:
"Thank you, precious father, for coming today and shepherding me into faith. I want to thank my beautiful wife who has loved me with everything she has. I want to thank my friends and legal team, and most of all, Jesus Christ through this unfair judicial process that led to my salvation. I pray the Lord will have mercy on all of us and that the Lord will have mercy on me.”
According to media witness Bud Foster, Atwood's priest was in the execution room with him — a first for the state. He added that this execution was "probably the most peaceful" he has witnessed.
— Chelsea Curtis
10:35 a.m.: Atwood executed
Frank Jarvis Atwood, 66, was executed by lethal injection for the 1984 kidnapping and murder of 8-year-old Vicki Lynne Hoskinson.
According to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Atwood was executed at 10:16 a.m.
His lethal injection comes less than a month after the May execution of Clarence Dixon — the state's first since 2014.
— Chelsea Curtis
10:20 a.m.: Friends, neighbors of Hoskinson family show support
Friends and neighbors of Vicki Lynne have gathered outside the prison to talk and reminisce about the old neighborhood in Flowing Wells in an area of northern Tucson, and of course, to remember Vicki Lynne.
“I feel like it will be a part of a closure for my childhood,” said Stacy Davis, a childhood friend of Vicki Lynne.
— Miguel Torres
10 a.m.: Protesters, counterprotesters line up outside of Florence prison
Shortly after 9:30 a.m., a few dozen protesters and counterprotesters lined the barricade set up by police along the intersection of Butte and Pinal Parkway avenues, just outside of the Arizona State Prison where Atwood is scheduled to be executed at 10 a.m.
Both parties stood at opposite sides of the barricade and were not engaging with one another. Protesters carried signs calling for an end to executions, while countering signs read "Justice for Vicki Lynne."
— Miguel Torres
9:20 a.m.: Supreme Court denies stay for Atwood
The United States Supreme Court on Wednesday denied Frank Atwood's request for a stay of execution.
Atwood's execution by lethal injection will proceed at 10 a.m. Arizona time.
9:05 a.m.: Atwood's last meal
Initially, Frank Atwood denied a last meal, saying that he was fasting.
Tuesday night, he was again offered a final meal and accepted. The offer was Department of Corrections protocol, according to information released to reporters at the execution media briefing.
This was his last meal:
- Salami
- Mustard
- Peanut butter
- Jelly
- Wheat bread
- A snack bag of tortilla chips
- A water/juice packet

8:45 a.m.: Execution follows 35 years of conviction, sentence challenges
Carlson, Vicki's mom, referred to Atwood's death sentence in 1987 as "the right decision," The Arizona Republic reported at the time.
"It's wonderful to have this feeling of peace inside," she said.
During the next 35 years, Atwood challenged his convictions and sentence, exhausting all of his appeals by 2018, Carlson wrote in an op-ed the following year published in The Arizona Republic.
However by then, Arizona paused executions following the state's botched execution of Joseph Wood in 2014. Witnesses to the execution said they saw Wood gasp for air for two hours, leading to lawsuits from Wood's lawyers.
The state then suspended all executions while it looked to adopt a new lethal injection cocktail and revise execution protocols in compliance with court orders.
In March 2021, state officials said they would resume executions. More than a year later, an execution warrant for Clarence Dixon was issued.
Because Atwood was convicted before 1992, he was given the option to choose between death by gas chamber or lethal injection. His attorney, Joseph Perkovich, claimed the state had not provided enough information to say whether the new lethal injection was safe and effective.
Last month, the Arizona Board of Executive Clemency denied Atwood's request for commutation of sentence, reprieve or pardon. The day before the scheduled execution, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals also rejected Atwood’s appeal of a district court ruling denying his request for an injunction to halt his pending execution.
At that May clemency hearing, Carlson said his execution would not bring her closure, but it would at least mark the end of a long and painful legal process, which she believed would bring her and her family some relief.
"It will end this inmate from harassing our family, filing frivolous appeals, and end him making a mockery of our criminal justice system," she said. "It will end that black cloud that hangs over our heads."
Carlson was not immediately available to speak with The Arizona Republic, but she told KOLD News 13 last month that her family planned to attend Atwood’s execution.

8 a.m.: Atwood was 28 when the crime occurred in 1984
Atwood was arrested on Sept. 20, 1984, in Kerrville, Texas, for kidnapping Vicki Lynne Hoskinson three days earlier. He was 28 years old at the time.
He was identified as the driver of a dark-colored Datsun bearing a license plate reported by a physical education teacher at Vicki's elementary school.
Several people told authorities they also saw the car in the area on the day Vicki disappeared but the teacher, Sam Hall, was the only person to take note of its license plate.
"When I saw the guy, I could feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I could feel my skin get goosebumps," Hall told the Tucson Citizen a few years later. "It was a lifetime standing there."
Atwood was brought back to Tucson, where residents learned he was previously convicted in California for sexually assaulting a 7-year-old boy and paroled after serving three of his five-year prison sentence.
It sparked a protest outside the Tucson mall with about 2,500 people demanding change to state laws allowing convicted child molesters on parole. Less than a year later, the "dangerous crimes against children" statute was signed into law by then-Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt, creating tougher penalties for people who commit sex offenses against children.
About a month after Vicki's remains were found, Atwood was indicted on a first-degree murder charge.
Atwood's 1987 trial had to be moved to Phoenix to maintain an impartial jury and lasted about 10 weeks. He claimed he was innocent, stating Vicki's murder was "probably the worst thing a person could do in this world."
"I'm not going to admit anything I didn't do," he said. "I had no involvement in it whatsoever."
Atwood was ultimately convicted of kidnapping and murdering Vicki, and sentenced to death. He was 31 years old at the time.

7 a.m.: Who was Vicki Lynne Hoskinson, victim of Atwood?
In 1984, Vicki Lynne Hoskinson stood about 4 feet tall, had short auburn hair and deep blue eyes. She lived in the Flowing Wells area of northern Tucson and had just begun third grade at Homer Davis Elementary School, about a mile from her home on Hadley Street.
Like many other 8-year-old girls at the time, Vicki liked playing with Barbies and her favorite foods were Spaghetti O's and french fries, her mom, Debbie Carlson, said at Atwood's clemency hearing last month.
But on the afternoon of Sept. 17, 1984, Vicki disappeared. She had been riding her pink bike home after mailing a birthday card to her aunt at a nearby corner mailbox.
About 30 minutes after Vicki left, her family found her bike lying in the middle of Pocito Place, less than a mile from their home.
Several witnesses told authorities they saw a man in a dark-colored Datsun driving slowly alongside Vicki before she disappeared.
Despite massive search efforts, Vicki's skeletal remains weren't found until April 12, 1985, when a man walking in desert land near Ina and Artesiano roads saw a small human skull.
She was buried the following month at Evergreen Mortuary and Cemetery in Tucson. About 500 people attended her funeral services.
"She's here, she's everywhere. ... She'll always be a part of us," Carlson said at the clemency hearing. "The inmate worked very, very hard to try to destroy our family, but I would like to say that he didn't win."

The next few days are expected to be very hot in Phoenix. A heat wave will last through the weekend
Valley residents should expect extreme temperatures as part of an excessive heat warning forecasted to last from Wednesday morning through Sunday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Phoenix, residents will see abnormally high heat in the Valley starting at 10 a.m. Wednesday through 8 p.m. Sunday, while the south and southwestern regions of Arizona will face excessive heat starting at 10 a.m. Thursday through 8 p.m. Sunday.
Highs range from 110 degrees on Wednesday up to 114 degrees on Saturday with lows being in the mid to high 80s.
Gabriel Lojero, an NWS Phoenix meteorologist, told The Arizona Republic that the heat wave comes thanks to a high-pressure system moving through the region and that such weather events are relatively common this time of year.
Lojero urged people in affected areas to stay inside in air-conditioned buildings — especially during the afternoon when temperatures are the highest.
Emergency cooling centers are available throughout Maricopa County. These heat relief locations are typically community centers, churches and other spaces run by local governments or organizations. Residents can find their nearest center here.
Weather forecast: Potential dangerous temperatures forecasted across Arizona for upcoming week
Lojero also said anyone who plans to continue recreational outdoor activities should do so either in the early morning or after sunset.
Those who have jobs that require them to work outside during the day anyway, such as construction workers, should take frequent breaks throughout the day to rest and rehydrate.
“Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink some fluids,” Lojero said.
At your service:It's hot, are you drinking enough water? Here is how to avoid dehydration
Lojero said it’s easier to become dehydrated more quickly in drier climates compared to ones with higher humidity. He added that heat kills more people than any other weather event in the United States and urged people to stay hydrated, cool, and remain indoors if possible.
The Arizona Health Department recommends that in order to stay healthy during the summer, we have to make sure we are drinking enough water. A person should drink about 2 liters a day, with those who spend a majority of their day outside encouraged to drink more.
The Maricopa Association of Governments has created a map where residents can access water, available at hrn.azmag.gov/.
Lojero said high temperatures could cool by a couple degrees on Monday to 108 or 109 and that normal temps for this time of the year are in the mid-100s. He also said people should still take precautions even when an excessive heat warning isn’t in effect.
The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department announced on Facebook that Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak trails will be closed between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday as part of a new policy adopted after 12 firefighters were sent home for heat-related issues — two of which were hospitalized acute renal failure from dehydration and exhaustion.
Meanwhile, Flagstaff will see highs between 87 and 89 degrees between Wednesday and Sunday with lows in the low to mid-50s.

Arizona executes Frank Atwood in murder of Vicki Lynne Hoskinson
The state of Arizona executed Frank Atwood by lethal injection Wednesday at the state prison in Florence. Atwood, 66, was sentenced in 1987 for the kidnapping and murder of an 8-year-old girl in Pima County, Vicki Lynne Hoskinson.
Atwood was the the second man put to death by the state after the botched 2014 execution of Joseph Wood led to court action that resulted in a seven year moratorium.
Clarence Dixon was executed on May 11 for the 1978 murder of Deana Bowdoin, a 21-year-old senior at Arizona State University.
On Wednesday morning, the United States Supreme Court denied Atwood’s request for a stay of execution. Atwood’s execution by lethal injection will proceed as scheduled, according to Atwood's attorneys.
Attorneys for Atwood filed numerous legal challenges alleging both choices for the method of execution — lethal injection or the gas chamber — were unconstitutional, and would cause Atwood an excruciating amount of pain.
Death row updates:Republic reporters cover the Atwood execution from the Florence prison
Atwood is in a wheelchair and suffered from a spinal condition, and his attorneys said restraining him to a gurney would exacerbate the condition and result in unbearable pain.
The state responded to those concerns by agreeing to provide a device that would brace Atwood while on the gurney.
While Atwood proposed the use of nitrogen gas as his preferred method of execution, the courts ruled the Arizona Department of Correction's protocols using cyanide were acceptable, and said Atwood did not have that choice.
A look at his victim:Who was Vicki Lynne Hoskinson, victim of Arizona death row inmate Frank Atwood?
Atwood was successful in getting the department to change its policy regarding the presence of spiritual advisers. Atwood converted to become Greek Orthodox while in prison.
Agreement over spiritual adviser's access during execution
His spiritual adviser, Father Paisios, told the Arizona Board of Executive Clemency in May that he was certain Atwood had experienced a "complete transformation of life,” and such a conversion cannot be feigned.
Paisios said the authenticity of Atwood's faith was to a degree that he had not seen among hundreds of others who had come to him. He said Atwood “unfailingly followed my instructions" and kept to a daily routine of prayer.

Department of Corrections execution protocols allowed for a spiritual adviser or representative to speak with the prisoner in the death chamber from another room via microphone, but did not allow them to be in the same room as the prisoner.
In a legal complaint, Atwood's attorneys said the protocols violated his rights under the establishment and free exercise clauses of the First Amendment and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.
In response, the Department of Corrections came to an agreement with Atwood and the district court issued a preliminary injunction specifying special accommodations for his religious exercise requests.
Atwood's attorney, Joseph Perkovich, said the department complied with the injunction, and allowed religious advisers to visit Atwood on Tuesday morning to perform a ceremony, known as a tonsure, involving cutting a lock of his hair and making Atwood a monk.
The injunction provides for special accommodations during the execution as well. Atwood's spiritual adviser will be allowed to accompany him to the execution chamber and lay his hands on him.
The injunction states: "ADCRR may require Plaintiff’s spiritual advisor to comply with all lawful directives of ADCRR personnel to: (a) touch Plaintiff only on the head; (b) stand in a location that gives the medical team an unobstructed view of the IV lines; (c) terminate touching Plaintiff during critical points in the execution process, such as during insertion of the IV line; and (d) immediately leave the lethal injection chamber upon ADCRR personnel determining that he has failed to comply with any of these requirements."
Atwood's spiritual adviser will also be able to pray audibly but may need to remain silent during "critical points" of the execution process, according to the injunction.

19-year-old suspected of making threats about mass shootings arrested in Casa Grande
Casa Grande police arrested a 19-year-old man on Sunday after he was investigated for making online comments about committing a mass shooting at a local high school, police station and movie theater.
The man was identified as Joshua Adam Bowen, a resident of Casa Grande.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations contacted police and alerted them of online threats Bowen made about harming people with mass shootings, Casa Grande police said in a press release. He threatened family and friends as well, according to the releas.
Bowen also praised the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed, according to police.
"It is important to note this investigation started because Law Enforcement received a tip from a citizen," Casa Grande Chief of Police Mark McCrory said in the release. "We are not immune to the issues we see across our country, but our department will be diligent in investigating all threats and will continue to encourage citizens to report this type of behavior to law enforcement.”
Casa Grande detectives placed Bowen under surveillance and arrested him without incident. Officials didn't find weapons on him but had leads to believe he may have access to guns, the press release said.
Bowen was charged on suspicion of making a terrorist threat and is being held at Pinal County Adult Detention Center on a $150,000 bond. His charges will be forwarded to the Pinal County Attorney’s Office for review, according to police.
“There is no doubt in my mind this individual was intent on hurting people and, ultimately would have found a way to do it," McCrory said in the release. "Fortunately, we have great support at the local, state, and national level to identify these threats and in this instance these relationships functioned exactly as they should, and we were able to work together to stop a serious threat to our community."

Police identify 18-year-old man as suspect in shooting at Walmart in Phoenix
Phoenix police identified an 18-year-old man as the suspect in a shooting at a Walmart near the old Metrocenter Mall in north Phoenix that left a woman injured on Tuesday.
Diontay Evans was arrested in connection to the shooting, Phoenix police said in a press release on Wednesday.
Officials had initially reported an argument between two men led to the shooting, but it was found Evans was arguing with two men he knew. Their relationship is unclear.
When the three men were leaving the Walmart, Evans fired "several times back into the store", and struck a 45-year-old woman, according to Phoenix police. Officials believe the woman was an unintended victim.
Police said Evans fired more rounds at one of the men he was arguing with and struck a vehicle.
An officer working off-duty as secondary security for the store detained Evans. Police have also detained the other man involved in the argument.
The woman was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Indiana is the "IN" place to be according to the state's updated tourism slogan and marketing campaign.
Visit Indiana and the Indiana Destination Development Corp. on Wednesday launched "IN Indiana" as a new, customizable brand for travel, tourism, institution and locality promotions across the Hoosier State.
Under the plan, devised by Valparaiso's WeCreate agency, Visit Indiana is making available an extensive customizable toolkit of resources at no charge for any Indiana business, small town, big city, or destination to align their marketing to the "IN Indiana" logo and brand.
"In keeping with our great state's spirit of innovation, this campaign gives tools and a voice to everyone, making Indiana stronger together," said Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb.
"From Indiana's shoreline to the hills in southern Indiana, there is something for everyone here 'IN Indiana.'"
The "IN Indiana" logo features "IN" in an arrow pointing to "Indiana" and an outline of the state's shape in the center of the letter "D" in Indiana.
Officials said the logo and associated templates easily can be paired with customizable slogans to promote a variety of places and events from the Indiana Dunes to the Indianapolis 500, and everything else for which Indiana is known.
"From the smallest towns to the largest cities, the adaptable messaging of 'IN Indiana' will instill pride in the many communities that make up the state," said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch.
"Thanks to the campaign’s unified messaging, we will attract more visitors, retain college graduates from our schools, and attract top talent to ensure Indiana’s continued growth and success."
Elaine Bedel, IDDC secretary and CEO, said she's looking forward to seeing how entities across the state customize the "IN Indiana" marketing material for their needs, while also helping present a unified front to potential visitors, future residents and companies looking to do business in Indiana.
"The goal behind 'IN Indiana' is to help Indiana function as a state united when it comes to spreading the word about this wonderful part of the world," Bedel said. "These stories will show new visitors the unexplored diversity of the state and create pride and ownership in our people."
"IN Indiana" replaces the oft-derided "Honest-to-Goodness Indiana" tourism marketing campaign begun in 2014 under Republican former Gov. Mike Pence.

Amenities: Spring Mill Inn; pioneer village; Gus Grissom memorial; boat tour; bike rental; 221 modern and primitive campsites; youth tent camping; camp store
DNR description: Spring Mill State Park offers a powerful illustration of the link between the natural and cultural worlds. The water flowing from several cave springs led to the founding of an industrial village in the early 1800s. Pioneer entrepreneurs took advantage of a constant water source that never froze, using it to power several gristmills, a wool mill, a saw mill and a distillery. In turn, pioneer settlers shaped the landscape around the village, clearing land for agriculture and timber.
The park today continues to illustrate how nature shapes us and how we shape our environment. A parcel of virgin timber sits in contrast to regenerated forest, a man-made lake struggles to survive against the in-flow of silt from cave-fed systems and the native flora and fauna face challenges from man’s introduction of new species.
Visitors can explore this story in the park’s four interpretive facilities—the Pioneer Village, Nature Center, Grissom Memorial and Twin Caves Boat Tour—and see it reflected on the landscape as they hike the trails.

MERRILLVILLE — A new four-story hotel is proposed for Merrillville’s east side.
The 101-room Tru hotel is planned for property at 8410 Indiana St.
“That’s a pretty big hotel,” Town Councilwoman Marge Uzelac, president of the Plan Commission, said as the project was presented to the commission on Tuesday.
Amit Shah, a representative for the project, said Tru is a Hilton product. He said there are about 200 Tru facilities in the country.
“I don’t think there is any in our area, but they’re up and coming,” he said.
Merrillville Planning and Building Director Sheila Shine said she’s had an up-close look at a Tru facility.
“I stayed in a Tru hotel when I was in Dallas,” she said. “It’s a new concept-type hotel.”
Shah said the design and features at Tru hotels are geared toward millennials.

“It has a young look,” Shine said. “The seating is modern and the rooms are modern.”
Shah said the hotel will feature a mixture of queen and king beds, and each room will have a micro-fridge. He said there will be an indoor pool and fitness center as well as a complimentary breakfast bar for guests.
“Sounds nice,” Uzelac said.
Commission member Brian Dering inquired about the room rates for the hotel.
“This is a midscale property for Hilton, so we’re probably looking at a $120 to $130 range,” Shah said.
He said the hotel will employee about 25 full-time and part-time positions.
Shah said the goal is to break ground as soon as possible and have the structure under roof by the end of the year.
Before construction could start, subdivision approval is needed for the Indiana Street property.
Shine said the site currently has one lot, and a Home2 hotel already sits on that parcel.
“Two primary structures can’t be on one lot, so they have to subdivide the lot so one of hotel can be on this lot and one can be on the other,” Shine said.
The commission could grant preliminary two-lot subdivision approval during its June 21 regular meeting. Final approval could occur in July.
Shine said that provides time for project officials to finish engineering details for the development. | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/merrillville/hotel-proposed-for-merrillville/article_972e0351-3015-5672-8848-7b24379eb612.html | 2022-06-08T18:05:11 | 1 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/merrillville/hotel-proposed-for-merrillville/article_972e0351-3015-5672-8848-7b24379eb612.html |
VALPARAISO — Memorial Opera House is the first theater in Indiana to launch the Penguin Project, which puts individuals with disabilities in the spotlight.
These children are supposed to feel heard and seen, Executive Director Scot MacDonald said.
“I think it’s something that’s been mission from not just our community but the whole Region,” said Artistic Director Bobbie Sue Kvachkoff, whose experience includes teaching special-needs kids.
“It’s something that will open up and hopefully inspire other communities around here,” Director of Education Jonathan Edward Owens said.
The Penguin Project is so named because penguins are flightless birds with different abilities. “Once they get in the water, they can do things no other creature does,” MacDonald said.
The program was begun in 2004 in Peoria, Illinois. MacDonald kept hearing about while talking with his peers elsewhere in the nation.
People are also reading…
“It blossomed into this huge national program now,” he said. “I was quite frankly surprised there was no chapter in Indiana at all.”
Memorial Opera House itself needs to be made more accessible. Getting onstage requires going up steps, not a ramp. There’s no access to the balcony and other rooms upstairs except a steep stairway. The restrooms weren’t designed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. MacDonald is working on that.
But the Penguin Project addresses another need — for children with disabilities like impaired vision or hearing to be able to participate in theater productions.
“Often these kids would be considered invisible,” MacDonald said. “They deserve to be seen and heard like everybody else.”
Disabled students in the program are paired with peer mentors to help carry heavy props and hold scripts during rehearsals.
“It’s not only a safe place for them but a brave place for them as well,” MacDonald said.
Rehearsals are going to be done at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Indiana. Those rehearsals will begin in early 2023, MacDonald hopes.
For now, the theater is seeking sponsors and building awareness of the program. Sponsors will cover the cost of the program.
“There’s no registration fee for them at all,” MacDonald said, to make the program accessible.
“We meet one night a week to start,” he said. That develops the students’ comfort level. Then rehearsals are done four nights a week. At the end of each rehearsal, they hear Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”
“It’s going to be just a huge, huge, transformative learning curve,” he said.
MacDonald hopes to expand the program to include a version for adults as well. | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/porter/valparaiso/theater-to-focus-on-people-with-disabilities/article_4b9cdcbf-d12c-5d27-8d18-6f9200f8f8e2.html | 2022-06-08T18:05:17 | 0 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/porter/valparaiso/theater-to-focus-on-people-with-disabilities/article_4b9cdcbf-d12c-5d27-8d18-6f9200f8f8e2.html |

BOISE, Idaho — To encourage a safe process while buying or selling items online, the Boise Police Department created a designated Internet Purchase Exchange Location.
The exchange location sits in the northeast section of the City Hall West parking lot. According to Boise Police, officers are stationed outside of the building and come and go from the area throughout the day.
Whether you use the the designated area, the Boise Police Department (BPD) encourages all online shoppers to make exchanges in a public place during daylight hours. Officers will be in the area if assistance is needed during a purchase.
“Exchanging items at your home comes with risks that we don’t want you to have to take. This area in the front parking lot of our department is a better option and we hope the community will use it,” Boise Police Crime Prevention Supervisor, Ed Fritz said.
Before meeting with a seller, BPD said the value of an item should be verified. When purchasing highly-desired items, buyers should be extra cautious.
Police encourage the public to avoid inviting strangers into their homes, meeting in secluded places or proceeding with the purchase if something doesn't seem right. Trust your instincts and always bring your phone to an online exchange in case you need to call for help.
Lastly, only bring the amount of money required for the purchase, according to Boise Police. Meeting the person you are exchanging with before you come back for your for your money is also encouraged.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho —
CDA2030, an Idaho non-profit, surveyed residents in Kootenai County and found some people were spending over half their income on rent payments.
Executive Director JJ O'Dell called the housing issue a "complex issue."
"I wish we could wave a magic wand to solve it," O'Dell said. "It's difficult, but there are a lot of people working on it, trying to find solutions, so that's the good thing."
The survey reported a 71% increase in average rent prices for Kootenai County. In May 2017, renters paid an average of $989 a month. Now, renters are paying an average of $1,695 a month.
Residents at Lakeside Village, an equal opportunity housing complex in Coeur d’Alene, pay a slightly discounted rate.
Khristina Tevis and her three daughters have been Lakeside Village residents for three years. She said she’s lucky to have found available and affordable housing.
“I pay $919 a month for a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath," Tevis said. "And that’s like a miracle here in Coeur d’Alene. If I was anywhere else, I would probably be paying double that, if not more.”
The Coeur d’Alene association of realtors found the average rent in Kootenai County in December 2021 was over $1,400 a month.
Tevis is paying less, but she said she’s seen her friends struggle to find places to live firsthand.
“Some of them are just planning on honestly going couch surfing or living out of their cars for the summer,” Tevis said.
Now, it’s not as easy as for Tevis's friends to get into affordable housing.
“My understanding is that there’s a huge wait list," Tevis said. "I’ve actually recommended this place to a few of my friends and they just tell me the wait list is ridiculous.”
A property manager in CDA2030’s Kootenai County survey said its low-income housing wait list is one to two years.
Tevis said up to 40% of her income can go toward covering rent payments.
She said paying less than average on rent helps when considering other costs as a single mom.
“I don’t get any other assistance other than living in equal housing opportunity so that helps quite a bit," Tevis said. "A good chunk of it goes to groceries. I'm only able to get like half of my groceries now that things are just so expensive. Then there's gas and driving three girls around to three different schools. It cost me $80 to fill up my tank and I just drive an Impala. There’s no extra money for anything.”
Tevis said the current rent and housing situation in Idaho prevents her from being able to move and provide more space for her and her daughters.
“I’m basically figuring I’m going to be in this apartment for at least another year or two before we can move out and even think of buying a house and just trying to save anything is going to be ridiculous. So, we're just going to stay put as long as possible,” Tevis said.
According to Washington Trust Bank economist Steve Scranton, Idaho homeowners are experiencing similar financial demands when it comes to paying their mortgages. A February 2022 study found Idaho residents are paying an average of 57.2% of their earnings on mortgages today. | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/kootenai-county-residents-financial-demands-rent/293-8d9cedd7-5431-4550-a32c-552906bc4749 | 2022-06-08T18:21:24 | 1 | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/kootenai-county-residents-financial-demands-rent/293-8d9cedd7-5431-4550-a32c-552906bc4749 |
