MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — A teen was found dead Sunday morning at a mobile home in Bradenton, deputies say.
The 18-year-old boy's death is now being investigated as an apparent murder, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
At around 9:30 a.m., authorities say a resident who lived in the Pic Town Mobile Home Park on the 900 block of 50th Avenue Plaza West found the teen dead inside of his home.
Officials then arrived at the home and found evidence that show the 18-year-old died from what appeared to be a violent murder.
The sheriff's office says they believe the teen's death was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public.
The investigation of the incident remains ongoing. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/manateecounty/teen-found-dead-manatee-county-home/67-fde3542b-d8ab-4002-a5e2-bbd0a65dca24 | 2023-07-09T21:04:36 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/manateecounty/teen-found-dead-manatee-county-home/67-fde3542b-d8ab-4002-a5e2-bbd0a65dca24 |
LODI, Calif. — A new outdoor eatery proposed for Downtown Lodi hopes to blend entertainment, food, entrepreneurship and community.
'Boxcar,' planned for the corner of Sacramento Street and Lodi Avenue, would be comprised of 28 stacked railroad boxcars housing different food vendors, tables and areas for activities.
"It's a great area where people can go to different vendors, pick what they want to eat or choose to drink and then everybody kind of coming together and partaking in more communal activities," said John Vierra part-owner of the Lodi firm hired to plan the development. "Either it's games or just sitting in a common seating area, you know, just enjoying the company."
Vierra is eager for the day that he can walk from his office to the eatery for lunch, but ideally, business people won't be the only customers.
"The younger demographic is wanting more, they're wanting to be outside, they're wanting more choices. They enjoy food, wine and beer mixed with recreational activities" said Vierra. "The hours of operation will end at 10 (p.m.). So, you know, really just hitting more the family market. We want it to be a very family-centered type of use."
The city of Lodi still has to approve site planning for the project, but if things stay on track, Vierra expects to break ground in 2024. The project, spearheaded by a Lodi-area landlord who rents restaurant spaces, has been in the works for three years.
Part of the goal of Boxcar will be to serve as a launchpad, or fast track, for those considering opening a restaurant.
"Instead of a full restaurant, it's more localized into these smaller footprints, and then it's shared in this kind of common dining area so it has a more urban feel, a more unique kind of business plan," said Vierra. "It is kind of like an incubator where it tests these concepts and lets those that are just flourishing and doing well to expand."
As planning continues full steam ahead for Vierra, excitement and hunger are getting off the rails.
"We take pride in enhancing our community," said Vierra. "So it's really gratifying working on a project just two blocks away from the office that will have a direct impact on the community that we work in, and some of us live at."

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A house in northwest Wichita was damaged in a fire Sunday morning.
According to the Wichita Fire Department, they received a call around 8 a.m. for the report of a house fire in the 500 block of N. Edwards.
Upon arrival at the scene, WFD Battalion Chief Schott Kleinschmidt says they were met with “advanced fire conditions” inside the home.
“For no larger than the structure is, it was a significant fire,” said Kleinschmidt.
According to Kleinschmidt, it took three firehoses to bring the fire under control.
No one was reported injured. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/northwest-wichita-house-damaged-in-fire/ | 2023-07-09T21:18:14 | 0 | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/northwest-wichita-house-damaged-in-fire/ |
Downtown Boise is starting July off with orange cones, hard hats and road work.
The biggest downtown project is on Idaho Street, extending from Broadway Avenue to 16th Street. The project began on July 5 and is expected to be completed by the end of the month.
The purpose for the road closure is “roadway improvements” according to the Ada County Highway District’s RITA webpage. Closures from Front Street to State Street on 15th and 16th streets will span the same amount of time. Road work will primarily take place at night.
Grove Street is also closed from 12th Street to 10th Street from an underground project that began in November 2022 and is expected to finish by the end of August.
Upcoming closures in downtown this week that don’t necessarily pertain to construction include Jefferson, 6th, 9th and Bannock streets for the Boise Twilight Criterium bike race on Saturday.
Downtown isn’t the only place that’s being gripped by summer construction.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that south Boise has been undergoing some intense construction in recent months. Back in March, southern Boise was swimming with orange coned construction — much of which was utility work. Now, Veolia has begun construction on Five Mile Road.
According to Madeline Wyatt, manager of communications and community relations at Veolia, construction on Five Mile Road is set to continue until spring 2024.
Several months ago, Veolia began installing two miles of large diameter transmission main on Five Mile, from Seneca Drive to Sandpiper Street.
“We’re doing it in phases,” Wyatt said. “We’re just trying to break it up so that it’s as least burdensome as possible. That being said, I personally live in South County and so this affects me directly, and I get it.”
The phases technique allows for construction to take place in different sections of the road, so parts of the road will be in use, while others will not. The construction, Wyatt said, is all about planning for an emergency.
“We have water mains in this area and we wanted to make sure that those infrastructure has enough support for fire flow protection for the demands in that area,” Wyatt said. “This (construction) is simply because we wanted stronger resiliency for the water supply in the area.”
The main will to increase water supply and improve water quality, Wyatt said. South and central Boise will directly experience the improvements. If a large transmission main were to go down, the new main would allow water to come in from a different area, rather than leaving residents without water, Wyatt said.
Over two decades ago, Veolia purchased existing wells and delivery infrastructure to provide more quality groundwater to the area, preparing to service southern Ada County better in the coming years.

BOONES CREEK, Tenn. (WJHL) — Johnson City Brewing Company’s Boones Creek location hosted another “Bluegrass Jams” session on Sunday, where musicians in the community are able to gather and play together.
The recurring events are hosted by the East Tennessee Bluegrass Association, and they say their goal with these sessions is to unite local music lovers and encourage them to play along with a group.
“We like to bring out all sorts of folks who want to come in and partake,” said association member Ryan Hughes. “We are an open jam which means anyone can come in, we do you know classical bluegrass instruments, guitars, mandolins, banjos, uprights, dobros, stuff like that.”
Hughes told News Channel 11 those who don’t play instruments are still invited to socialize, drink a brew and listen to some classic bluegrass. He said lots of kids learning to play music even attend and play as a part of the whole group.
“It’s extremely chill, bluegrass happens on a back porch or a front porch or wherever like that, and we try and maintain a very welcoming and open environment as much as possible,” he said. “We’ve had kids as young as, like, 6 or 7 come in and jump in and be a part of the circle and play with us. We encourage that, we want folks to come out and enjoy it.” | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/bluegrass-jams-brings-local-musicians-together-at-johnson-city-brewing/ | 2023-07-09T21:47:11 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/bluegrass-jams-brings-local-musicians-together-at-johnson-city-brewing/ |

WATERLOO — The Summer Soul Classic Parade helped kick off Saturday’s festivities for the North End Arts and Music Festival.
Residents lined the sidewalks along the parade route between Gates and Furgerson-Fields parks as 10 drill teams from across the Midwest danced in the streets to the cadence of their drumlines. Besides Waterloo’s Union Baptist Crusaders, participating drill teams came from Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. They were all here for a drill team competition that happened in the evening.
Along with parade entries from local businesses and organizations, the drill teams flooded into Furgerson-Fields Park, where the festival was being held. The Destruction Drill Team of Omaha, Nebraska, was announced as the parade’s winning drill entry.
This is the fifth year since 2018 that Marching Against the Darkness has hosted the drill team competition. It wasn’t held in 2020.
Participating teams have also taken part in a parade that led to the festival since at least 2019. The Summer Soul Classic Parade is hosted by Project Ready Community Outreach.
At the North End Arts and Music Festival, DJ Smilez warmed up the crowd during the afternoon. The Davenport-based Sam Mack Jr. Band and old-school local R&B band Flavah performed later. There was also an appearance from local artist Daniel Mitchell.
The festival was first held in 2009. It had been on the African-American Historical & Cultural Museum grounds at East Fourth and Adams streets before moving to the park along Onedia Street in 2019.
Hundreds were at the park to enjoy the entertainment while eating at food stands and visiting other vendors for businesses and organizations. The drill teams spent time there, as well, before going on to their competition at Young Arena.

WATERLOO — The Waterloo Water Works will continue its water main flushing program on Thursday.
The water mains will be flushed in the area from Kimball Avenue to West Ninth Street between Williston Avenue and East Ridgeway Avenue.
Customers living within the area and within several blocks of the flushing area could experience some discoloration. The water may be a brownish color during and immediately after the flushing. Customers are urged not to plan a wash day on Thursday.
The discolored water is bacterially safe and is caused by the accumulation of minerals on the inside of the water mains. A periodic flushing cleans the mains and helps avoid discolored water problems during normal operation. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/waterloo-water-works-continues-flushing-water-mains/article_6fb9d968-1cd3-11ee-aa90-6b957180bcb6.html | 2023-07-09T21:58:21 | 1 | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/waterloo-water-works-continues-flushing-water-mains/article_6fb9d968-1cd3-11ee-aa90-6b957180bcb6.html |
BRISTOL — Sirens, floats, horses, marching bands and all the candy a kid could want.
On Sunday, the village’s annual Progress Days parade took to the streets of downtown Bristol featuring a mix of everything from law enforcement vehicles and fire trucks, to a horse-drawn float pulling newly-crowned Miss Bristol Shannon Wiebers, Westosha Central High’s finest Marching Falcons, and a colorful pelting of sweet treats.
And yes, it’s legal to toss candy in this hometown parade for which dozens of children find opportunity and their favorites to share or keep to themselves.
Christine McCoy brought her sons Wilson, 8, and Anderson, 9, to the parade because they enjoy it all.
“They love coming to the parade, seeing their buddies from school, (and) celebrating America,” she said. “They’re also here for the candy.”

McCoy said her family comes to the parade, if they don’t have a baseball game to play. Her sons, still in matching uniforms, carried matching “basketball-style” nets to capture their loot.
“We try to come every year and we had a baseball game this morning so it worked out really nice,” she said.
With her kids Reese, 5, and Jordy, 8, with her, Jen Sanderson said they always make time to attend the parade. She said she brings her kids, but admits, “I love it, too.”
“This one is our favorite,” she said, “because we get the biggest bags of candy.”
Reese, who brought a cross-body bag to collect her goodies, said her favorites were the fruit-flavored dots that were tossed her way. Then, without warning, more goodies came their way in the form of freezer pops. With temperatures in the 80s and a hot sun beating down on the street, they were a welcome treat.
Rachel Petroski of Bristol never misses the parade and brought her four children ages, 2, 4, 6 and 8, and mother-in-law to see the procession. Petroski’s husband is a village employee and a volunteer firefighter.
“We love this parade,” she said. The family enjoys the marching band and the horses.
“It’s very family-friendly and, I mean, there’s candy. My kids would probably say that," she said.

TULSA, Okla — An Oklahoma judge has thrown out a lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, dashing an effort to obtain some measure of legal justice by survivors of the deadly racist rampage.
Judge Caroline Wall on Friday dismissed with prejudice the lawsuit trying to force the city and others to make recompense for the destruction of the once-thriving Black district known as Greenwood.
The order comes in a case by three survivors of the attack, who are all now over 100 years old and sued in 2020 with the hope of seeing what their attorney called "justice in their lifetime.”
Spokespersons for the city of Tulsa and a lawyer for the survivors — Lessie Benningfield Randle, Viola Fletcher and Hughes Van Ellis — did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.
Wall, a Tulsa County District Court judge, wrote in a brief order that she was tossing the case based on arguments from the city, regional chamber of commerce and other state and local government agencies. She had ruled against the defendants' motions to dismiss and allowed the case to proceed last year.
Local judicial elections in Oklahoma are technically nonpartisan, but Wall has described herself as a “Constitutional Conservative” in past campaign questionnaires.
The lawsuit was brought under Oklahoma’s public nuisance law, saying the actions of the white mob that killed hundreds of Black residents and destroyed what had been the nation’s most prosperous Black business district continue to affect the city today.
It contended that Tulsa’s long history of racial division and tension stemmed from the massacre, during which an angry white mob descended on a 35-block area, looting, killing and burning it to the ground. Beyond those killed, thousands more were left homeless and living in a hastily constructed internment camp.
The city and insurance companies never compensated victims for their losses, and the massacre ultimately resulted in racial and economic disparities that still exist today, the lawsuit argued. It sought a detailed accounting of the property and wealth lost or stolen in the massacre, the construction of a hospital in north Tulsa and the creation of a victims compensation fund, among other things.
A Chamber of Commerce attorney previously said that the massacre was horrible, but the nuisance it caused was not ongoing.
Fletcher, who is 109 and the oldest living survivor, released a memoir last week about the life she lived in the shadow of the massacre. It will become widely available for purchase in August.
In 2019, Oklahoma's attorney general used the public nuisance law to force opioid drug maker Johnson & Johnson to pay the state $465 million in damages. The Oklahoma Supreme Court overturned that decision two years later.

Annual Belle Isle kite festival flies high despite rainy start
Detroit — Despite early morning rain, the sky over Belle Isle was flooded with color as thousands of kites took to the skies for Detroit's annual kite festival.
Kites of all shapes and sizes filled the otherwise gray skies with everything from superheroes to rainbow giant squids and butterflies.
The Detroit Kite Festival is run by a group of Detroit-based kite enthusiasts and native Detroiters Lex Draper Garcia Bey and Sophiyah Elizabeth co-directed it for the first time this year.
"What I love about the festival is that it's intergenerational," Garcia, 40, said. "The DIA is here doing a community project with kite making, we have ... bubble therapy because how can you be sad when you're blowing bubbles?"
The festival also featured two DJs, an African drumming performance, several food trucks and yoga. Garcia and Elizabeth expected at least 3,000 people to attend throughout the day.
For Elizabeth, the festival is about building community. The festival started on Belle Isle in 2017 but was temporarily shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the festival's second year back.
"It seemed like it's just gonna keep getting better and better and more and more people," Elizabeth, 34, said. "(We want) to ensure that the people of the surrounding community is here and can have that luxury and leisure and just fun on Belle Isle."
Ainsley McLaughlyn, 39, recently moved to Detroit from Nashville and brought her 6-year-old daughter Iris to the festival. The two crafted and decorated their own paper kite together.
"We just drove in, pulled up and wow! This is so cool," McLaughlyn said. "I absolutely love it, the family friendliness of it."
For 16-year-old Detroiter Talayah Gordon, going to the kite festival is a family tradition. Gordon always flies a butterfly kite that her mom got her. Her favorite part is, "just being out here trying to catch the wind, trying to find the perfect spot."
For others, like Kalisha Davis, the festival was a new experience. Davis had always been intrigued by the festival but never had the chance to attend it herself. "I wanted to finally get a chance to see what happens here and it's beautiful," she said.
Brandon Close, 24, tries to come to the festival every year because Belle Isle is "the perfect place to fly." This year he brought a 150-foot-long snake-shaped kite he found online.
"I like to describe it as the final boss of the festival," Close, an Allen Park native, said. "It involves running about half a mile just to get it stable enough to where it can catch wind and stay up in the air."
Some locals, like Chuck and Tania Lewis, chose to celebrate important milestones at the festival. Sunday was the couple's anniversary and they brought their 1-year-old grandson Milo along with a superhero kite. They plan to make it an annual event.
"This is the way we chose to celebrate," Lewis said. "He's having a good time, this is beautiful."
Tori Fulgenti and Dylan Reeser also decided to attend the festival while celebrating a milestone, Reeser's 30th birthday.

Ozone Action Day issued for southeast Michigan on Monday
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has issued an Ozone Action Day for southeast Michigan on Monday.
The 14th Ozone Action Day of the Year is for high levels of particulate matter and ozone in St. Clair, Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw, Lenawee and Monroe counties.
Ozone is created by a reaction of nitrous oxides and volatile organic compounds that takes place on hot, sunny days. Temperatures in the upper 80s are forecast for Monday.
Pollutants are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range. EGLE recommends that active children and adults and people with respiratory diseases such as asthma, limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
Nitrous oxides and volatile organic compounds come from sources including vehicle exhaust, paints, fumes from oil and gas refineries and chemical plants.
To help lower pollutant emissions on Ozone Action Days, people can:
∗Delay mowing their lawn until evening or the next day
∗Drive less, telecommute, bike, or walk
∗Avoid refueling their vehicles during daylight hours
∗Delay or combine errands
∗Reduce electricity use
Additional information on Ozone Action Days is available on the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments website. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/07/09/ozone-action-day-issued-for-southeast-michigan-on-monday/70395823007/ | 2023-07-09T22:33:40 | 0 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/07/09/ozone-action-day-issued-for-southeast-michigan-on-monday/70395823007/ |

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Deputies in Brevard County arrested three people Friday night in the Melbourne area after a traffic stop turned into a drug arrest.
Deputies stopped a Cadillac Escalade in the area of Leewood Boulevard and Croton Road north of Eau Gallie Boulevard for traffic infractions. They say the driver, Joshua Morris, refused to hand over his driver’s license, and his two passengers also refused.
When deputies tried to get Morris out of the vehicle, they said he refused and became verbally abusive, and when one of the deputies grabbed his wrist to pull him from the vehicle, he started “swinging” at the two deputies on the scene. That’s when deputies deployed a taser on Morris.
When they arrested him for battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence, they say they also found meth, fentanyl and psilocybin mushrooms. He now also faces charges for possession of those drugs.

Deputies say then one passenger, Richard Ennis, ran from the vehicle and was arrested in a home’s backyard. They say it turns out he was wanted on an active warrant out of Kansas.
Back at the vehicle, deputies say Daphne Morris, the other passenger, jumped into the driver’s seat of the Escalade and tried to drive off. Deputies knocked out a window to pull her from the vehicle. Morris was wanted on active warrants out of Brevard County for check fraud and driving without a driver’s license.
Two guns were also found in the vehicle, one of which was reported stolen out of Kansas.
All three were transported to Brevard County jail.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The family of Derek Diaz, along with attorneys Ben Crump and Natalie Jackson, held a news conference Saturday in Orlando to demand the release of body-worn camera video recorded in Diaz’s fatal shooting by police.
“I never understand why, when the taxpayers pay all of this money for bodycam videos for this very instant — for this very instant, to be able to see what happened — why police come up with so many excuses and why we accept them when we all know the very purpose we have bodycam videos is for transparency,” Crump said. “It’s infuriating when we look at families and they say, ‘Why can’t we see what happened to our loved one?’ and (police) come up with arbitrary reasons to delay, delay, delay. What is it? They’re trying to get their story right? Why do we have delay? The video is going to be the same no matter what, so release the video.”
Diaz, 26, died after being shot by an Orlando police officer early Monday in the area of Jefferson Street and North Orange Avenue. According to statements from the department and its chief, Eric Smith, officers were “doing proactive patrol” in an area police described as “a hotspot for criminal activity where we have seized a lot guns over the last several months” — and suspected Diaz, who was driving a car, of being involved in drug activity.
“The officers were doing a drug investigation and basically, the person who is the suspect, made a quick movement as to retrieve a firearm and the shooting happened,” Smith said.
Diaz was pronounced dead at a hospital.
[TRENDING: Become a News 6 Insider]
Leading up to the “quick movement,” police said that Diaz disobeyed the commands of the officers, one of whom then shot him. No gun was found in the vehicle with Diaz, but drugs were recovered in the investigation, according to Smith. News 6 has otherwise not heard back from Orlando police regarding questions over what drugs were found, and where.
Sonja Nava, the mother of Diaz’s daughter, told News 6 earlier this week that the entire family is heartbroken and was still being kept in the dark.
“All we know is what we’ve seen on the news. They haven’t said anything. We don’t know, like, what happened. We don’t like how many times they shot him. We don’t know where they shot him. We don’t know how he died, like if he suffered. We don’t know anything,” Nava said.
[STORY CONTINUES BELOW]
Nava said the family has set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses, which can be found by clicking here.
The officer who shot Diaz is on paid administrative leave, per protocol, as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigates. Smith acknowledged on Monday that he had seen the body-worn camera video of the shooting, which the department said in a statement would be made available within 30 days.
At the conference, Crump, Jackson and Diaz’s loved ones — including Nava, as well Diaz’s brother and his mother — said that the family wanted to see the footage before the funeral as a matter of closure and transparency alike.
“I want to know what happened. We have the right to know,” said Yaneri Diaz Rodriguez, Derek Diaz’s mother.
Jordan Claxton, Diaz’s 15-year-old brother, described Derek as a great person and genuine.
“If you needed anything, if he could give it to you, he would,” Claxton said.
Crump said that searching for justification in shooting first and asking questions later sets a bad precedent.
“We want to see the video because we want to hold police officers accountable if they kill people unjustifiably, so preferably — not even hopefully — preferably it can prevent your loved one from being killed unnecessarily, unjustifiably, by the police. That’s all we’re asking,” Crump said. “We’re not trying to attack police or do anything like that, this family honestly wants to know the truth. Is that so much to ask Orlando police? For the family, and your citizens, to see the truth?”
Jackson, who mentioned a history working on cases involving Orlando police, said that it’s only a matter of justice to fully inform the loved ones of someone killed under such circumstances.
“In many cases when working with Attorney Crump, we’ve been able to allow the family to see the video with the police department even if they don’t want to release it to the public yet,” Jackson said. “They deserve to see the police report, they deserve to see the video. This is a family that does not know anything about what happened except for what was reported in the media, and as we know, what was reported in the media was a distortion of the facts just by the contradiction of what was said. For instance, it was said that he was reaching for a gun, however there was no weapon found. So, those are the things that the family is hearing, that’s the questionable things that we’re hearing from the police department, so instead of telling us what you think we should know or what you think we should view the evidence as, release the video. Let this family see it. Release the video. Let this family see what is going on before they put their loved one to rest.”

OCALA, Fla. – “All roads lead to Ocala,” say organizers of a rally organized Saturday to unite Central Florida communities around the death of Ajike “AJ” Owens, a Marion County mother of four who was fatally shot through her neighbor’s door last month.
The “National Day of Righteous Outrage for AJ Owens” was held inside Ocala’s Kingdom Revival Church on E Silver Springs Boulevard.
Owens was shot on June 2 after walking with her son to the front door of her neighbor, 58-year-old Susan Lorincz, to confront her after she allegedly took an iPad from one of Owens’ children and threw roller skates at them.
[TRENDING: Become a News 6 Insider]
Lorincz was formally charged with manslaughter, and even though the family and community wanted to see charges upgraded to second-degree murder, they said they will not stop their search for “equal justice.”
“Sometimes I know it feels like we’ve been dealt a bad hand, and as African-Americans living in this country that’s a common feeling,” said Anthony Thomas, and attorney representing Owens’ family. “We wanted a murder two charge, but that’s not what was given, in fact, our state’s attorney dropped a few charges, just to let you know. I did advise I would give an update on the status of this case. At this point, we are looking towards a trial.”
Thompson said there is a concern that Lorincz’s case could get thrown out, which is why they are keeping up the pressure through actions like Saturday’s rally.
Saturday’s speakers included Dias, clergy leaders and Owens’ friends Tarlisa Brown, Kim Robinson-Jones and Velecia Woodyard. Local, state and national organizers are also set to make speeches, such as Tamika Mallory with Until Freedom; Melanie Campbell with the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation; Attorney Barbara Arnwire from Equal Justice Under the Law; Marcus Arbery, the father of Ahmad Arbery; representatives of the Marion County Dem Women’s Club and others.
The shooting was allegedly the culmination of a neighborhood feud, with Marion County deputies having been called to the area a dozen times before it happened.
Lorincz was arrested days later, on June 6, with Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods stating ahead of time that authorities were under pressure to charge Lorincz and needed to confer with the State Attorney’s Office on her self-defense claims, as the 58-year-old told deputies that Owens was trying to break her door down.
[STORY CONTINUES BELOW]
At the news conference held to announce Lorincz’s arrest, Woods said that the case was “simply a killing.” Further statements from the sheriff’s office cited eyewitness accounts and other investigative findings to establish Lorincz’s actions were not justifiable under Florida law.
The month since has seen Lorincz formally charged with manslaughter and assault, the decision of William Gladson, state attorney for the Fifth Judicial Circuit of Florida. This, in lieu of murder charges, drew ire from Owens’ family and their attorneys.
“How do I explain to AJ’s children, my young grandbabies, that the loss of their mother’s life is still not being taken seriously? Only a living breathing AJ would be true justice, and today’s charge could not be further from that,” said Pamela Dias, Owens’ mother, in a statement.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Five people were arrested Saturday night following a street takeover incident in Fort Worth and a police chase involving stolen cars, authorities said.
Police in Fort Worth said they responded to the reported street takeover around 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of North Beach Street and North Tarrant Parkway in the northern area of the city.
Officers arrived to find a Dodge Challenger doing donuts in the intersection with a crowd of people gathered around it, according to police. When officers turned on their emergency lights and sirens, the Challenger fled the area at a high rate of speed and a chase ensued, police said.
During the chase, police said a North Richland Hills officer responded and successfully spiked the Challenger's tires.
The Challenger then pulled into a QuikTrip gas station and everyone inside the vehicle exited and jumped into a Dodge Charger, which then fled the area, according to police. It's unclear how many people were initially inside the Challenger.
Police officers and a DPS helicopter pursued the Charger, which eventually stopped under a bridge near Highway 121 and Riverside Drive, according to police. Police said all five of the occupants in the Charger fled on foot.
The five people were eventually located and taken into custody. Three were listed as adults and transported to the city jail, while the other two were juveniles and taken to a juvenile detention facility.
Police said both the Challenger and Charger involved in the incident were reported stolen in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and that both vehicles had fake license plates.
Police identified the three taken to city jail as Bruce Camacho, 17, Gustavo Camacho, 19, and Saul Olade, 20. All three were charged with evading arrest.
Gustavo Camacho also faces a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Police did not identify the two juveniles involved.
Fort Worth police also determined that the group involved in the incident is linked to the viral Austin street takeovers that occurred in February.
On the evening of Feb. 18 and into the morning of Feb. 19, Austin police said they responded to seven street takeover events. A month later, police announced that 17 people were charged in connection to the incidents.
Austin police said the suspects were from cities such as Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. The suspects also ranged in age from 15 to 32.
Further details on the Fort Worth street takeover incident were not immediately released as the investigation continues. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/five-arrested-fort-worth-street-takeover-police-chase-stolen-cars/287-9e983741-0fb6-4417-b0cb-5b48d722941a | 2023-07-09T23:00:13 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/five-arrested-fort-worth-street-takeover-police-chase-stolen-cars/287-9e983741-0fb6-4417-b0cb-5b48d722941a |
GRAPEVINE, Texas — A man has been arrested and charged with murder after a woman's body was found at Grapevine Lake, police announced Sunday.
Police said they arrested Daniel Burch, 35, for his alleged role in the "violent death" of Jennifer Holmes, who was also identified on Sunday.
Police responded to Grapevine Lake around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 6, after a witness reported seeing a body near a spillway on the side of the dam. Crews recovered the body and "discovered signs of trauma inconsistent with drowning."
After the body was identified as Holmes, police said they interviewed Burch, who was living with the victim at the time. Police described their relationship as "close friends."
According to police, Burch told detectives that the two were on the way to the lake on the morning of Wednesday, July 5, when they got into an argument.
Police said Holmes was shot multiple times and then her body was taken to the lake.
Burch was booked into Tarrant County Jail on a murder charge, with a bond set at $150,000.
Further details were not immediately released as the investigation continues.
Police said detectives found evidence in the case more than a mile from where Holmes' body was found.
"The thorough and extensive search by detectives, patrol officers and crime scene investigators in this case demonstrates the high level of dedication and compassion Grapevine officers and personnel have for the community and victims of crime," police said in a news release. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/man-charged-murder-womans-body-found-grapevine-lake-texas/287-d691aeab-94ad-43c6-a7e4-273abebb824e | 2023-07-09T23:00:19 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/man-charged-murder-womans-body-found-grapevine-lake-texas/287-d691aeab-94ad-43c6-a7e4-273abebb824e |
Fort Worth police arrested five people who took part in a street takeover Saturday night.
On Saturday around 10:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to a hotrodders call near the corner of N. Beach St. and N. Tarrant Parkway.
Upon arrival, officers reported a silver and black Dodge Challenger doing donuts in the intersection with a crowd starting to gather around them filming.
Once officers activated their emergency lights and sirens, the Dodge Challenger fled the scene and began to evade officers at a high rate of speed. A DPS helicopter kept a visual on the Challenger that was evading officers.
During the pursuit, a Lieutenant from the Richland Hills Police Department heard the chase on a police radio and was able to successfully spike the Challenger that was evading officers.
The disabled Challenger then pulled into a QT gas station, where everyone inside the vehicle immediately exited and started running toward a Dodge Charger. They jumped into that vehicle which took off immediately.
Officers began pursuing the Dodge Charger that did not stop and attempted to evade officers.

An Amarillo couple has raised nearly $40,000 for a boy who knocked on their door looking for some friends in a heartbreaking moment caught on a doorbell camera.
Shayden Walker, a boy wearing a Jaws T-shirt, asked the couple if they knew any kids ages 11 or 12 because "he needs friends really bad." The heartbreaking video has now garnered over 65 million views.
In the camera footage posted online Wednesday, Ray could be heard asking the boy "What's up man?" as Walker approached his door.
The boy replied saying "Hi. I just wanted to see if you knew any kids around like, 11 or 12, maybe, because I need some friends. Like, really bad."
Ray tried directing Walker to a house down the road, where he said he knew two children lived but Walker replied saying, "Well, um, they’re not my friends anymore because they’re bullies to me."
He then asked Ray if he had any children and he responded by saying he does, but his daughter is only two years old.
"Oh, OK that's great," Walker said. "I love two-year-olds to be honest, they're just the most cutest things I have ever known," revealing to Ray that he enjoyed playing with his younger sister when she was two.

News from around the state of Texas.
Before the young boy left the doorstep, Ray promised to say "hi" whenever he sees him in town.
The couple posted another video showing that Walker had come by the house 30 minutes prior, but he shied away. In this video, they revealed that they decided to start a GoFundMe to get him a gaming set, school clothes and amusement park tickets.
The original goal of the GoFundMe was $7,000 but the donations exceeded expectations at $37,257.
"Thank you all for your generosity and kindness! We expected to see support from this community but we're shocked and amazed by how everyone's shown up for Shayden," the couple posted on the GoFundMe. "We decided to turn off donations while we coordinate with his family, but all funds will stay in the GoFundMe account until then. We'll keep you updated along the way. Thank you! #kindnessmatters" | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/texas-boy-looking-for-friends-goes-viral-on-tiktok-neighbors-help-raise-nearly-40k-for-him/3292369/ | 2023-07-09T23:02:46 | 0 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/texas-boy-looking-for-friends-goes-viral-on-tiktok-neighbors-help-raise-nearly-40k-for-him/3292369/ |

FORT WORTH, Texas — Five people were arrested Saturday night following a street takeover incident in Fort Worth and a police chase involving stolen cars, authorities said.
Police in Fort Worth said they responded to the reported street takeover around 10:30 p.m. at the intersection of North Beach Street and North Tarrant Parkway in the northern area of the city.
Officers arrived to find a Dodge Challenger doing donuts in the intersection with a crowd of people gathered around it, according to police. When officers turned on their emergency lights and sirens, the Challenger fled the area at a high rate of speed and a chase ensued, police said.
During the chase, police said a North Richland Hills officer responded and successfully spiked the Challenger's tires.
The Challenger then pulled into a QuikTrip gas station and everyone inside the vehicle exited and jumped into a Dodge Charger, which then fled the area, according to police. It's unclear how many people were initially inside the Challenger.
Police officers and a DPS helicopter pursued the Charger, which eventually stopped under a bridge near Highway 121 and Riverside Drive, according to police. Police said all five of the occupants in the Charger fled on foot.
The five people were eventually located and taken into custody. Three were listed as adults and transported to the city jail, while the other two were juveniles and taken to a juvenile detention facility.
Police said both the Challenger and Charger involved in the incident were reported stolen in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and that both vehicles had fake license plates.
Police identified the three taken to city jail as Bruce Camacho, 17, Gustavo Camacho, 19, and Saul Olade, 20. All three were charged with evading arrest.
Gustavo Camacho also faces a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Police did not identify the two juveniles involved.
Fort Worth police also determined that the group involved in the incident is linked to the viral Austin street takeovers that occurred in February.
On the evening of Feb. 18 and into the morning of Feb. 19, Austin police said they responded to seven street takeover events. A month later, police announced that 17 people were charged in connection to the incidents.
Austin police said the suspects were from cities such as Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. The suspects also ranged in age from 15 to 32.
Further details on the Fort Worth street takeover incident were not immediately released as the investigation continues. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/five-arrested-fort-worth-street-takeover-police-chase-stolen-cars/287-9e983741-0fb6-4417-b0cb-5b48d722941a | 2023-07-09T23:14:35 | 1 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/five-arrested-fort-worth-street-takeover-police-chase-stolen-cars/287-9e983741-0fb6-4417-b0cb-5b48d722941a |
LANSFORD, Pa. — The severe thunderstorm watches postponed the 16th annual Coal Miners Heritage Festival in Carbon County.
It's the first time it's ever been canceled in 15 years.
Traditionally, the Number Nine Coal Mine Museum in Lansford hosts several food and craft vendors to invite the public to learn about the rich anthracite coal history right in our own backyard.
"We decided that it's not worthwhile to endanger people having them out, and our vendors themselves started calling in and saying that if the weather is bad, they themselves don't want to be out," said Zachary Petroski, Panther Creek Valley Foundation President.
The 16th annual Coal Miners Heritage Festival is rescheduled for September 3 and will be combined with their traditional Labor Day picnic.

SCRANTON, Pa. — It was all about the bees in Lackawanna County.
The Keystone College Beekeeping Program gave a presentation at the Everhart Museum at Nay Aug Park.
The presentation tied in with a new exhibit about bees at the museum.
Attendees got the chance to see real bees in a hive, try on a beekeeping suit, and taste some honey.
"We want to get the word out about bees and pollinators. This display down here at the Everhart is wonderful because a lot of times people always think of the honeybee because that's such a charismatic, you know, insect, but we have wonderful, beautiful native pollinators, and so you'll be able to see some of those pictures here. The Everhart in this exhibit," said Kelley Stewart-Director, Woodlands Campus at Keystone College.
The bee exhibit at the Everhart Museum will be available until October 1.

The car rolled over and ended up on the railroad bridge above Court Street.
Officials say the teen will be cited for driving too fast for the conditions.
He is expected to be OK after the crash.

KINGSTON, Pa. — Bella Espinal is new to the neighborhood on North Welles Street.
“When I first moved here, my boyfriend Tyler said the rain wasn't a huge issue here,” she said.
But she learned today that's not always the case.
“We were like, let's just try to get through this rain, and so we pulled up the road and thought we could make it through that big puddle,” Espinal added.
“Yeah, and they got too deep at that point to turn around, and I think they hydro-locked,” Jeremiah Taylor from Kingston said.
“We got out the other end with a dead car,” Espinal mentioned.
“They ended up having to get the car towed, unfortunately,” said Taylor.
And while the streets are now completely clear for cars to pass through, earlier this morning at 11 p.m., North Welles Avenue was completely submerged in water.
“A lot of cars came through, it was only up at around three or four inches, but when you get in the middle of that intersection, it was far deeper,” added Taylor.
Deep enough for Larry Savage to take a special kind of stroll around the neighborhood.
“I thought it was a little deeper, but it was still deep enough to kayak,” he said.
He keeps his kayak on his front porch just in case the heavy rain turns his home into a waterfront property.
“Yeah, every summer, this area floods at least three to four times,” Savage said.
And the neighbors agree Bella Espinal's car isn't the first or the last that will find itself stuck.
“So if you don't know how deep the water is, just turn around. Like if you're not 100% sure that the water is less than two inches or so, just turn around,” Taylor explained.
Or perhaps another, safer alternative.

FAIRBURN, Ga. — A newly released police report obtained by 11Alive details the events of what led up to the South Fulton mayor being arrested at a home in Fairburn on Saturday morning.
City of South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau was arrested and charged with first degree burglary and criminal trespassing and was released later Saturday afternoon on an $11,000 bond, according to jail records.
The police report states that the homeowner received a notification on his phone from a surveillance camera at 6:52 a.m. that a person, identified as Kamau, was walking onto his property. The homeowner said he put on his clothes and and watched Kamau walk up the driveway toward his home and lake house, which is located a bit further away from his home on the property.
The homeowner said by the time he got into his truck, Kamau was already inside the lake house. He told police he approached Kamau in a "cautious manner" and proceeded to call 911. While he was on the phone with 911, he told Kamau to "stay put," adding he did not want Kamau to come near him.
The homeowner said Kamau began walking away from the lake house in the yard, prompting the homeowner to shout "stay put" once again while the homeowner held a gun. Kamau responded by saying "you can't give me orders," the police report stated.
After the homeowner put his gun down, Kamau allegedly told the homeowner "Do you know who the f--- I am? I'm the mayor and I'll wait for my police force to get here and see what happens then."
The homeowner told the officer he uses the lake house for storage and the house he lives in is on the same large property, according to the police report.

The responding officer with South Fulton Police Department then arrived and spoke with Kamau. The officer said Kamau explained he was driving by the property and was taking his dog to a nearby park. He paused to stop at the home, telling the officer the property was his "dream home" and that he would like to buy the house.
The 46-year-old mayor told the responding officer that he was aware he was criminally trespassing, recalling that he saw a chain-linked fence with a "No Trespassing" sign, according to the police report.
Kamau alleges the homeowner said "No motherf----- you stay right there" as he was walking out of the lake house, saying he tried to introduce himself but the homeowner stepped out of his car, walked to the passenger side and cocked his gun, the police report stated.
In the report, Kamau also said the homeowner warned him "If you take another step, I'm going to shoot you" to which Kamau said he responded with "Are you going to shoot me while I'm walking away?" Kamau said he told the homeowner that he apologized and thought the house was abandoned, per the police report.
The bond states he must stay away from the home he allegedly trespassed and burglarized which was located at 6000 Cascade Palmetto Highway in Fairburn. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/police-report-explains-arrest-south-fulton-mayor/85-dbd70b07-712b-4a50-976d-110d3d9eb14c | 2023-07-09T23:37:17 | 0 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/police-report-explains-arrest-south-fulton-mayor/85-dbd70b07-712b-4a50-976d-110d3d9eb14c |
DULUTH — St. Louis County recently received a nearly $100,000 grant to work with existing community behavioral health partners to created the Mesabi Behavioral Health Network, according to a news release from the county. The grant is from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services administration.
The network will be a "collaborative group of community members and providers whose mission is to improve the behavioral health and wellbeing of individuals and families in the northern half of St. Louis County," according to the release.

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho has so many things to see and experience in the great outdoors. Our mountains, prairies, deserts, lakes and rivers offer countless opportunities for photography, hiking, biking, boating and skiing.
But what about those who use wheelchairs or other mobility devices? It can be difficult, if not impossible, to get out into some areas and enjoy all of those things.
The city of Boise just unveiled some completed projects that open up new opportunities for recreation in the Boise Foothills for people of all abilities. City leaders recently cut the ribbon on accessibility improvements on trails in the Camel's Back and Hulls Gulch Reserves.
Ridge to Rivers widened and made the Red Fox and Red-Winged Blackbird trails more accessible in the Camel's Back Reserve. The brand new, nearly half-mile Grove Loop fully accessible trail is now open in Hull's Gulch.
The city says the updates were completed based on recommendations and input from the City of Boise's Cross Disability Task Force. It's a group of locals living with disabilities who work to make sure Boise is accessible for everyone.
During the taping of this Sunday's Viewpoint, Boise Parks and Rec Director Doug Holloway and Boise Cross Disability Task Force member Jeremy Maxand talked about the importance of the city now having these trails.
"Our goal in the City of Boise is to create a city for everyone," Holloway said. "And to really accomplish that you have to create access for people of all abilities. So what we have dedicated this past week and a half or so is three new trails in the foothills that open up a whole new wilderness area, it opens up a whole new urban interface area that those with mobility considerations didn't have access to previously."
"You know folks with disabilities, myself included, we just want opportunities like everybody else to go out and enjoy the things that make Boise an incredible city to live in," Maxand said. "It's important for mental and physical health reasons. It's important to give folks to socialize with other people, and it's important for empowerment. To be able to go out and do things with friends or on your own just to get a sense of efficacy as a human being to be able to do things."
On this edition of Viewpoint, the two also give some insight into how all of this came about and what other accessibility issues they're addressing. Then Holloway discusses the new Molenaar Skate Park and the future Warm Springs Grill + Golf Facility at the city's Warm Springs Golf Course.
Viewpoint airs Sunday mornings at 9 o'clock on KTVB Idaho's NewsChannel 7.

BALTIMORE — A special car show at the Herman & Samuelson Children's Hospital at Sinai brought smiles to children battling health challenges.
On Sunday, more than 30 Porsches took part in the caravan.
Kids got to sit inside them.
"Many of my patients are actually down here right now. It just cheers them up. You know it's hard to be sick. It's hard for a family to be in this situation. So, anything that just brightens the day. It just means the world to the children," said Dr. Sybil Pentsil, Pediatrics Hospitalist and Chief Diversity Officer at Sinai Hospital.
The Chesapeake Region Porsche Club of America also dropped off toys as well as a check for the money they raised to buy gaming systems for patients to use. | https://www.wmar2news.com/local/special-car-show-brings-smiles-to-pediatric-patients | 2023-07-10T00:19:52 | 0 | https://www.wmar2news.com/local/special-car-show-brings-smiles-to-pediatric-patients |
Roy Herron, a longtime Tennessee state lawmaker and former chairperson of the state Democratic Party, died Sunday from injuries sustained in a jet ski accident. He was 69.
“Roy loved his family with all his might,” Herron’s wife, Rev. Nancy Carol Miller-Herron, said. “He passed doing what he loved most — spending time with our sons and their friends in the Tennessee outdoors where his spirit was always most free.”
Herron, an attorney from Dresden, Tennessee, served a combined 26 years in the state’s House and Senate, where he became floor leader and caucus chair for the Democrats. He never missed a day of session, except for when his youngest son was born, according to his website. He chaired the state Democratic Party from 2013 to 2015.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee at Martin, Herron was also one of the first students to earn joint degrees in divinity and law from Vanderbilt University. An ordained Methodist minister, Herron also authored three books, including one titled, “God and Politics: How Can a Christian Be in Politics?”
Funeral services were planned for Saturday at First United Methodist Church in Martin.
Condolences poured in on Sunday. On Twitter, former Vice President Al Gore called his fellow Tennessee Democrat “a dear friend and one of Tennessee’s most devoted citizens.” Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen called Herron “bright, diligent, and honest. A politician destined for greatness.” Republican Rep. David Kustoff said Herron ”dedicated his life to serving West Tennessee, and the entire Volunteer State.”
Tennessee House Republican Caucus Chairman Jeremy Faison said on Twitter he was “the kind of guy that you couldn’t help but like.”
Joe Hill, a longtime Tennessee Democratic political operative who worked with Herron on multiple campaigns, said he “brought a zeal for making health care more accessible to disadvantaged Tennesseans” when he was elected to the state House. Hill said he also brought that commitment to “education, victims’ rights, environmental quality and so many other things that affect average people.”
“His legacy of advocating for ‘the least among us’ will represent the gold standard of service for Democrats and Republicans in Tennessee’s future,” Hill told The Associated Press on Sunday.
That nature applied to Herron’s friendships as well, Hill said. He recalled how Herron drove 140 miles (225 kilometers) to be with him and his family in Memphis, after one of Hill’s children was involved in a car crash.
“We left home in such a hurry and didn’t bring extra clothes,” Hill said. “My wife, Susan, was freezing in the cold hospital waiting room, and Roy gave her his shirt so she could be warm. That’s the kind of genuine human being he was.”
In 2010, after briefly running for governor, Herron became the Democratic nominee in Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District, when then-Rep. John Tanner announced his retirement, after more than 20 years in the seat. Herron ultimately lost the general election to Republican Stephen Fincher.
“I was hoping when I retired, that he would win the seat,” Tanner told the AP on Sunday.
After a tornado devastated his hometown of Dresden just before Christmas in 2021, Herron marshaled a fundraising effort, amassing more than $100,000 to aid recovery efforts.
“It’s an overused term — that he was a dedicated public servant — but that really was Roy,” Tanner said. “He worked tirelessly for causes that he took up, and he had a good heart.”

FORT SMITH, Ark. — An effort now is underway for the development of a new facility for Next Step Homeless Services (NSHS) in Fort Smith.
The nonprofit organization is raising money to get a new central campus built at the corner of South 6th and I Streets downtown, where their new offices are located.
Executive Director of NSHS, Sharon Chatman says the project will cost $4 million.
"We're gonna go all in on housing which we have found the most effective way of course to end homelessness," said Chatman.
The new location comes with a plan to include tiny homes.
"We're gonna be building 30 tiny homes, units, that are only about 100 square ft. each where an individual can live within one of those as a transitional living. It will be called bridge housing," said Chatman.
Those who live in those tiny houses will be given a chance to work through the next step program, eventually moving up to transitional, or even permanent housing. Chatman says it will go a long way toward ending homelessness.
"One of the most frustrating things about working with people who are on the street is that you just don't have anything to offer them as far as a place to go.
Chatman says there is not enough housing for the homeless in Fort Smith.
"For us as staff, we're incredibly excited to have an opportunity to give them a place to stay," she said.
Chatman says the new location will mean the emergency day shelter will close. There will no longer be walk-in services like there are right now. The new service will provide people with housing instead, according to Chatman.
"We'll still maintain a street outreach program where we're going out like we do right now we go out and try to meet the needs of people on the street get to know them, build a relationship, so that we can interview them for the kind of housing that we'll have," said Chatman. | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/next-step-homeless-fort-smith-raising-money-new-facility/527-ff961363-fbec-4fc6-ba84-18be0f391085 | 2023-07-10T00:24:14 | 0 | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/next-step-homeless-fort-smith-raising-money-new-facility/527-ff961363-fbec-4fc6-ba84-18be0f391085 |
One of the five slain victims of the Philadelphia mass shooter was killed by the suspect nearly two days before the shooting spree took place, investigators said on Sunday.
"During the ongoing investigation, it has been determined through information received through a source and corroborated by the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office and additional evidence; that homicide victim Joseph Wamah, Jr. was killed by suspect Kimbrady Carriker approximately 44 hours before the mass shooting incident that occurred on 7/3/23 at 8:28 PM," a Philadelphia Police spokesperson wrote on Sunday.
Police said they first received a 911 call around 2 a.m. on the morning of July 2 reporting gunshots in the area of 1600 South 56th Street. Investigators believe Wamah Jr., 31, was murdered about 90 minutes later. The 911 call was dispatched to the 1600 block of North 56th Street where responding officers searched the block but had negative results for the reported gunshots.
"Because this call was entered as 1600 North 56th Street, Philadelphia Police Radio was unable to immediately identify any calls for reports of gunshots in the area of 1600 South 56th Street," the Philadelphia Police spokesperson wrote.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner also released a statement Sunday on the new details in the investigation.
“The grieving family of the deceased has been briefed on this new information, and I cannot express enough the sorrow I feel -- and that surely all the officers and detectives working on this investigation must feel -- that these developments may be confusing and re-traumatizing for Mr. Wamah’s loved ones," Krasner wrote. "This new information, however, has not changed the number or type of charges we have filed against defendant Carriker: the Commonwealth alleges that he is responsible for the death of Mr. Wamah on July 2, 2023. This new information will lead the Commonwealth to amend or modify the timing alleged in the complaint against Carriker for the murder of Mr. Wamah from July 3, 2023, to July 2, 2023."
Kimbrady Carriker, 40, was arraigned Wednesday morning on five counts of murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons counts of possession without a license and carrying firearms in public, prosecutors said. Carriker is accused of killing Wamah, who was later found dead inside a house, and then gunning down four others before surrendering to police.
A 2-year-old boy and a 13-year-old youth were also wounded by gunfire and another 2-year-old boy and a woman were hit by shattered glass in the rampage that made the working-class area in southwest Philadelphia the site of the nation’s worst violence around the July Fourth holiday.
Joanne Pescatore, supervisor of the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office Homicide and Non-Fatal Shooting Unit, said at least one of the seven roommates who lived with Carriker told investigators he was wearing a bulletproof vest in the days before the shooting and had the guns he later used in the shooting in the house. Pescatore said the roommate described him as being more and more agitated in recent days.
“Their way of dealing with it was just to avoid contact with him ... as he became more and more agitated,” she said at a news conference Wednesday, just blocks from where the shootings took place.
District Attorney Larry Krasner declined to discuss the suspect's mental health when asked whether it might have factored into the killings, but said he expected that the defense would request an evaluation.
A representative of the Defender Association of Philadelphia said he believed the office would be representing Carriker, but declined to comment further.
Prosecutors said they recovered a handgun, a will dated June 23 and other evidence during a search of Carriker's home. They declined to discuss details of the will or whether it indicated that Carriker had been planning the attack.
Police initially took another person who had fired shots at Carriker Monday night into custody, but prosecutors said Wednesday that person legally possessed a firearm and fired at the mass shooting suspect after his brother was shot. He was released without charges.
Court records show Carriker pleaded guilty in January 2005 to a misdemeanor charge of carrying a firearm without a license and was sentenced to three years of probation.
At a separate news conference Wednesday afternoon to announce a lawsuit filed by the city of Philadelphia against several makers of self-made gun kits and gun parts, officials said that both guns found on Carriker after he was taken into custody appeared to be self-manufactured — commonly called ghost guns.
Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said the AR-15 used in the shooting and a 9mm handgun Carriker was carrying, but which wasn’t used during the spree, were ghost guns.
“So if he would have dropped that weapon and got away, we would have had no way to trace that weapon back to him,” Vanore said.
The news conference and lawsuit were announced before Monday's shooting. Mayor Jim Kenney said Wednesday that the city has seen a nearly 300% increase in ghost guns recovered during police investigations over the past four years, including 575 recovered in 2022.
Police called to the Kingsessing neighborhood Monday night found gunshot victims and started to help them before hearing more shots. Some officers rushed victims to hospitals while others ran toward the gunfire.
Staff Inspector Ernest Ransom, the homicide unit commander, said witness interviews and video indicated the suspect went to several locations in a ski mask and body armor, carrying an AR-15-style rifle and shooting people and occupied cars at random. Carriker's gender identity was initially unclear due to photos he posted of himself on social media wearing what appeared to be women’s attire.
“The suspect then began shooting aimlessly at occupied vehicles and individuals on the street as they walked,” he said. The vehicles included a mother driving her 2-year-old twins home — one of whom was shot four times in the legs and the other who was hit in the eyes by shattered glass.
Cornered in an alley, Carriker surrendered and was found to have two guns, extra magazines, a police scanner and a bulletproof vest, police said.
Aside from Wamah Jr. who was found dead in a home early Tuesday, Philadelphia police identified the victims as Lashyd Merritt, 20; Dymire Stanton, 29; Ralph Morales, 59; and DaJuan Brown, 15 — all pronounced dead shortly after the Monday night gunfire.
Asa Khalif, a member of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee, said Wednesday there have since been hateful comments aimed at transgender people because of the photos Carriker posted online.
“The suspect has not identified themselves as trans. They have only identified themselves as male,” Khalif said. “But the language spewed out by the conservative press is violent and dangerous and targeting trans women of color. It’s rallying the community to be violent.”
Krasner said the streets surrounding where the shootings occurred were silent Wednesday. He noted seeing a child’s bike on the ground untouched since the shootings.
Zaffer Qasim, an emergency physician at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where many of the victims were taken Monday night for treatment, declined to discuss individual victims or their treatment but noted the “degree of injury from the style of weapon that was used ... and the amount of damage.”
“I said before we started that bullets don’t care who you are. And it’s not just the victims, but it spreads to the families in the family rooms and to the community,” he said. “As the district attorney noted, the streets are now empty because people are scared to go out in the streets.”

UNION -- The Maine Warden Dive Team recovered the body of a man from Hope, Maine, who drowned while rescuing his children on Saturday afternoon in Seven Tree Pond at Ayer park in Union.
46-year-old Henry Brooks was enjoying the afternoon with his family on Saturday when suddenly one of his daughters fell into deeper water where the river enters the pond.
His other daughter attempted to rescue her, but both were swept out by the currents. Brooks, who was sitting at a picnic table watching his daughters, saw what occurred and jumped into the water to rescue them followed by his 27-year-old son
According to officials from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, the son was able to bring the daughters back to safety on a nearby dock; however, when he turned back, his father, Henry Brooks, was no longer visible.
"His two daughters were struggling in the water out there in the current, and the St George river empties into Seven Tree Pond here at that location, and with all the high rains we've had, the high amount of rain pretty swift current in there, it's actually pretty difficult to go kayaking up that river at the moment," said Union resident and Maine Registered Guide Kevin Curry.
Locals say they have noticed the water levels are two feet higher than usual during this time of year, which could have impacted the intensity of the current. Although there have been some close calls, its been years since an incident like this has occurred.
"It's a pretty sad thing and I've lived here for many years in the town. Last time someone had something the same here was about 40 years ago off the beach here so its very rare in this pond," said Curry.
Officials say, Game Wardens, Union Fire and Rescue and Knox County Sheriff's office were called to the scene but were unable to locate brooks.
After three Maine Warden Service Divers arrived, he was found at approximately 7:30 pm on Saturday, not far from the dock where his son brought the daughters to safety.
According to officials, Brooks was taken to the Halls Funeral Home in Waldoboro, while his son and two daughters were taken to the PenBay Medical Center, where they remained under observation Saturday night. | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/local/hope-man-drowns-after-trying-to-rescue-daughters/article_f2466842-1ea9-11ee-adae-73d7bd3dcedf.html | 2023-07-10T01:23:06 | 0 | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/local/hope-man-drowns-after-trying-to-rescue-daughters/article_f2466842-1ea9-11ee-adae-73d7bd3dcedf.html |
ORRINGTON -- After several efforts were made to keep the store open, another local establishment is closing its doors in Orrington. Kozy Korner, which has been a staple to the Orrington community for decades, announced last week to their Facebook page that July 16th would be there last day of business.
"It's been such a staple for the town and the community and now it's like I'm the guy that's locking the doors," said owner Mike LaBrie.
LaBrie says this decision does not come easy, but due to financial and emotional burdens he could no longer keep the store running. He says that the COVID-19 pandemic - like many small businesses - impacted them greatly.
"I chose to keep the store open and going for the town even though it was a financial burden, I didn't want to be the guy to have to close the town for the store," said LaBrie.
The store formally known as Bob's Kozy Korner was purchased by LaBrie in March 2019, who says the store has been mostly an operating business for over 100 years in this location.
Aside from the pandemic impacting the business, they also endured a fire In February of 2022, which caused them to close for nearly five months. LaBrie says he even hesitated to open again but was hopeful after several renovations were made.
"There's a lot of positives to it, but the bottom line is the stress and the financial and I can't let that continue."
He says the loyalty from his crew has been one of those positives.
"It's a bummer because this is my first job and it's just sad because I've been working for Mike since I've been working," said staff member Trinity Grant. "The customers have been upset that we're closing because this store has been open for a while and since the fire it's been busy because its obviously newer and it looks newer."
The news has caused disappointment throughout the community. However, despite it being in Orrington for so long, the store has struggled to compete with the other convenient store in town.
"It's tough to drive by Freshies every day multiple times and see how busy it is and here I am losing money, it's hard," said LaBrie. "I know people have supported me a lot but the bottom line is it hasn't been enough."
The doors will be closing officially on July 16th as the town begins its old home week celebration. For now, the business remains on the market. | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/local/kozy-korner-closing-its-doors-after-decades-of-serving-orrington-community/article_2295eb16-1eb0-11ee-a9ee-4fb94d2cf49b.html | 2023-07-10T01:23:13 | 0 | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/local/kozy-korner-closing-its-doors-after-decades-of-serving-orrington-community/article_2295eb16-1eb0-11ee-a9ee-4fb94d2cf49b.html |
GREENWOOD, Ind — Two brothers are now reconnected after over three decades of being separated.
All the way from North Carolina, Jacob Connell found his long-lost older brother Matt Gibson in Greenwood, Indiana.
The first time they spoke to each other over the phone lasted over eight hours from 9 p.m. until around 5:30 a.m.
"Oh man, it was a great conversation. That was one of thee best things to ever happen to me in my life,” Connell said.
Gibson said the conversation "probably barely scratched the surface," because they have over 30 years of life to catch up on.
“Immediately. As soon as I saw his face, like I was just so happy to see him. Like if we were in an airport in the 90′s when you were allowed in the terminal to run after your loved ones, as soon as I got off the plane, I wish I had that moment,” Connell said.
The two were separated after their father was killed in a car accident in 1990 when Connell was just 6 months old.
Gibson isn't Connell's only missing sibling.
While he worked to find his brother, he learned more about another brother and sister, Mitchell, who passed away in 2009, and Lauren, who he will be reaching out to next.
Connell used Ancestry.com and posts on Facebook groups in Indiana to help his search.
“My odds were against me, but I won. I got him. I’m so happy I was able to reconnect with my older brother,” Connell said. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/2-long-lost-brothers-find-each-other-after-33-years-greenwood-indiana/531-eec94feb-0766-4a41-844c-d576f45cf348 | 2023-07-10T01:27:33 | 0 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/2-long-lost-brothers-find-each-other-after-33-years-greenwood-indiana/531-eec94feb-0766-4a41-844c-d576f45cf348 |
FORDYCE, Ark. — The town of Fordyce is a very tight-knit community and along Main Street, you'll find several businesses.
“Main Street is kind of a unique place for us here in Fordyce,” Mayor John MacNichol explained. “We keep striving and pushing and trying to keep Main Street alive."
He also added that Main Street is the heart of the town.
One of the popular businesses is Mav and Me Boutique, a business that started inside Samantha Brandon’s home. In 2020 they joined the other businesses on Main Street.
“When we found the building on Main Street, it was just like God told me that's where he wanted me to be,” said Brandon.
Brandon and her husband eventually bought the building next door.
“We were like, you know, that's a great opportunity for us to expand,” she said.
On July 4, she received an unexpected call that her business was on fire.
“I just didn't think it was real and I woke my husband up and I was like the store is on fire,” she added. “And when I got here, there was just smoke coming from the vents and my heart sank. I didn't know what to think.”
Brandon plans to rebuild in the same location but for now, she said she'll continue running her business the same way it started— from home.
“A hard new beginning, but it's going to be okay,” said Brandon.
People who call Fordyce home have been offering to help.
“Random people I’ve been reaching out like hey, you know, I have a heat press. You're more than welcome to use it. People have offered me their embroidery machines,” she explained.
The mayor said that the doors being closed along Main Street will hurt, but he has been rallying behind her too.
“It's just like family. I mean, everybody pulls in together and it's been devastating for everybody, I mean, even the people that probably didn't shop there. It's really hurt Fordyce the downtown area,” said MacNichol. “I’ll do anything I can to help her.”
Meanwhile, Brandon will be holding onto hope for the future.
“It's hard to see it, but it's going to be okay,” she said. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/fordyce-business-destroyed-fire/91-33181160-9113-43be-ba34-ee6ac2ddc395 | 2023-07-10T01:27:39 | 0 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/fordyce-business-destroyed-fire/91-33181160-9113-43be-ba34-ee6ac2ddc395 |
LAKELAND, Fla. — A Lakeland mother of seven graduated from Keiser University and was honored as her class's valedictorian.
Ashley Payne put on her cap and gown and addressed her fellow classmates at 6 p.m. Friday, at the Youkey Theater in Lakeland. She's no stranger to the stage, though. Payne was valedictorian at her Families of Faith Christian Academy High School graduation ceremony back in 2006.
She graduated as a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree in science and nursing. Payne said her family has been the backbone of her entire journey and even spoke about them in her speech.
On her first day of class in 2019, Payne said her oldest daughter, Lorelai, who was 9 years old at the time, sent her to school with a note that said, "Aim for the moon, if you miss, you may hit a star."
That message stuck with Payne throughout her journey to becoming a registered nurse.
"If she can realize the vast opportunities this world has to offer, so can you," Payne said in a statement from Keiser University.
After graduation, Payne plans to earn her Master of Science degree in Nurse-Midwifery at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/lakeland-mother-valedictorian-keiser-university/67-e941ac61-6cb7-4319-ad4c-4251c69bbea4 | 2023-07-10T01:27:46 | 1 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/lakeland-mother-valedictorian-keiser-university/67-e941ac61-6cb7-4319-ad4c-4251c69bbea4 |
MALVERN, Ark. — An ATV accident in Malvern left one minor deceased and another injured on Saturday evening.
According to reports from the Arkansas Department of Public Safety, a minor driver of the ATV was headed north down Dyer Street when the vehicle drifted off the right side of the road. The minor then overcorrected, and the vehicle rotated to the left and ran off the road. The vehicle then collided into a ditch.
After that, the vehicle overturned and ejected a minor passenger, and the vehicle landed on top of the minor. Later, it overturned again and finally came to a rest on its side.
The injured minor was taken to the hospital where their condition remains unknown, and the body of the deceased minor was taken to a local funeral home.
The investigation into this incident remains ongoing and we will update with more information as soon as it becomes available. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/minors-dead-injured-malvern-atv-incident/91-15ecd652-4a09-46c8-83b0-591222ef3a14 | 2023-07-10T01:27:52 | 1 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/minors-dead-injured-malvern-atv-incident/91-15ecd652-4a09-46c8-83b0-591222ef3a14 |
Meet the new director of the Gaston County Museum of Art and History
The former assistant director of the Gaston County Museum of Art and History now serves as the museum's director, replacing former director Jason Luker, who resigned from the museum in October.
Alexandrea "Ali" Pizza, 42, served as assistant director starting in 2017, when she came to the museum from Belmont Abbey College, where she had been working as director of preservation and curator of rare books. After Luker's exit, she served as the museum's interim director. She was fully promoted to director, at an annual salary of $115,000, in May.
"I had my eye on the museum for quite a few years," Pizza said. "So when we moved to Charlotte, it was 2010, and I had three children three and under. And we lived about a mile from all the museums within Charlotte… and yet the very first museum I visited was the Gaston County Museum of Art History, which was about a 45-minute drive with three babies in the car."
She was impressed by what she found.
"Gaston County Museum is accredited by AAM (American Alliance of Museums), which is a national accreditation. And I thought, this museum has a ton of potential," she said.
Pizza has a history of working in conservation. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in craft and sculpture at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, and a master’s degree in arts administration from Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. She studied as the Nicholas Hadgraft scholar at the Montefiascone Book Conservation School in Montefiascone, Italy and served as the assistant conservator for the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England.
"Books and paper were definitely my passion when it came to conservation," she said.
She moved to North Carolina in 2010 after her husband, Joseph, was offered a job as a professor of English at Belmont Abbey College. Pizza was initially reluctant to come to the area, but then she learned Belmont Abbey has a collection of rare books.
"There are over 23,000 rare books at Belmont Abbey College. … And I really just fell in love with the collection and the people, the monastic community," she said.
At the Gaston County Museum, rather than the physical work of rebinding rare books, her focus on conservation is "at a strategic level," she said. " So what can we do to promote preservation of the collection? And for the future?"
In 2021, Pizza aided in redesigning a facility to house the museum's collections. Between the collections building and the building that houses the museum itself, the museum houses more than 83,000 artifacts. Around 10-15% of that collection is art, and the rest is largely historical artifacts.
"They range from historic carriages to farm equipment, to historic… dresses from the 1800s. We have an armory collection," she said.
The move into the collections and archives facility allowed Pizza to use her experience in executing large-scale collection moves.
"And that includes teaching staff: how to clean mold, how to handle objects safely, how to rehouse them, what materials to buy that are standard in conservation," she said.
Pizza feels the museum has a bright future. Recent talks among county officials about defunding the museum sparked a backlash in the community, with, among many others, a former North Carolina senator and a former county sheriff addressing the Board of Commissioners directly to talk about the museum's importance to the community. The Board of Commissioners fully funded the museum for the coming year.
"I think that we have never been better poised for a successful future as we are now. We have been through some of the greatest challenges the museum has faced in its 47 year history in the past year," Pizza said. "We have a stronger and more engaged board than I have ever seen. We have a commitment from the commissioners to fully fund the museum. And we have some of the most talented staff members I have ever worked with. So I'm actually really hopeful and excited about the future. I think that there's a lot of work ahead. We need to build on the momentum that we've had from our community."
The museum has an exhibit planned for September called "Niche Knits."
The display will include stockings from a local hosiery mill, knitting machines that were used in the textile mills, and an interactive exhibit for children that will allow them to dress paper dolls in clothing from different eras.
"This is going to be a fun, bright, colorful exhibit," Pizza said.
The museum also has a fundraiser coming up, a murder mystery dinner on July 21 and 22 at the Esquire Hotel in downtown Gastonia. There will be costumed actors, live music, a silent auction, and more. Tickets are available on the museum's website and at the Esquire.
Going forward, Pizza says she wants the museum to "be a place that inspires creativity, pride, belonging."
"I want it to be a place where people gather to celebrate, to challenge themselves and to question how we relate to each other and to our shared humanity," she said. "The Gaston County Museum needs to provide relevance, provide fundamental meaningfulness in its exhibits and its programs that are important to human nature at its core."
The museum's biggest challenge going forward will be in figuring out what that looks like. Staff have been talking about reimagining the museum's permanent textile exhibit.
"What I would like to see is a museum that reflects the people who come through our doors. So a museum that is engaging, and that is interactive. So not those 'do not touch' signs and 'please be quiet' signs," she said. "But you know, if you press this button, you can hear an oral history from a textile mill worker, or you can hear what it was like to grow up in Lowell, as we sit here today.
"So I think what we really want to see is a new museum when you walk in the front door. And over the next couple of years, we're going to be really working hard with designers and our board and our community to determine what that looks like," she added.
She said that she not only wants to create a safe space for reflection, but a space that presents history in all its forms.
"Museum professionals for a long time have been talking about museums as places that are safe spaces for reflection, that provide knowledge and understanding and challenge visitors to confront the ways in which they view the world," she said. | https://www.gastongazette.com/story/news/local/2023/07/09/meet-the-new-director-of-the-gaston-county-museum-of-art-and-history/70387787007/ | 2023-07-10T01:33:02 | 0 | https://www.gastongazette.com/story/news/local/2023/07/09/meet-the-new-director-of-the-gaston-county-museum-of-art-and-history/70387787007/ |
An Omaha man died after the motorcycle he was riding veered off the road in rural Saunders County on Saturday, officials said.
The Saunders County Sheriff's Office responded to the crash near the intersection of U.S. Highway 79 and County Road 25 just south of Morse Bluff a little before 5:40 p.m.
David Sebben, 63, had been riding his 2007 Harley-Davidson northbound on Highway 79 when it went off the right side of the road, the Sheriff's Office said in a Sunday news release.
First responders used lifesaving measures on Sebben before paramedics took him to a Fremont hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
In addition to deputies from the Saunders County Sheriff's Department, Prague Fire and Rescue, Fremont Fire Department, Morse Bluff Fire Department and the Dodge County Sherriff's Office also responded to the crash.

Crowds returned to Glenbrook Square less than 24 hours after a non-fatal shooting evacuated the mall, but amid Sunday's normalcy – couples shopping for jewelry, children swarming the play area and visitors strolling the halls with purchases in hand – some passersby pointed to the apparent blood spatter that remained on a clothing store's tile floor.
Police responded to the regional shopping center at Coliseum Boulevard and Coldwater Road about 3:30 p.m. Saturday after a man wounded another man in the leg during what police described as a personal dispute.
The shooter immediately fled the scene, Fort Wayne police said, but the suspect later contacted 911. He requested to turn himself in and speak with detectives.
As of late Sunday afternoon, detectives had interviewed two persons of interest, but no further information was available because the case was active and ongoing, police spokesman Officer Daniel Nerzig said by email. He added that an update will be provided once a thorough investigation can be completed.
Glenbrook remained closed for the rest of Saturday but reopened for regular business hours Sunday. The mall's management office did not immediately return a voicemail seeking comment Sunday afternoon.
Nerzig said the public was never in danger.
"This was not an indiscriminate person who came into the mall and started firing," the spokesman said in the immediate aftermath. He added the incident wasn't a mass shooting attempt.
Even so, shoppers were evacuated as the situation unfolded. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System sent messages with pertinent information about the situation to those in the vicinity.
"We use that to make sure that individuals inside the mall can find out quickly what's going on and be sheltered," Nerzig told reporters on the scene Saturday.
Alerts included warnings to shelter in place and to evacuate if possible. A message also instructed people who needed help exiting to call 911.
Although there are few ways to deter similar shootings, Nerzig said, the response can be equally important to minimizing harm.
"We can't necessarily get ahead of any incident," he said Saturday, "but we can do our best to mitigate them and try to keep these incidents contained as best as we can."
Nerzig credited the quick police response to several factors, including the number of 911 calls and officers in the area. The Fort Wayne Police Department, Indiana State Police, Fort Wayne Fire Department and Allen County Sheriff's Department were among the responding agencies.
Witnesses reportedly told police they heard three to four shots inside the mall near H&M, a clothing store, and Grade A Tattoos.
The area between those storefronts showed no traces of a shooting Sunday, but apparent blood spatter dotted the floor just inside H&M's other entrance. The store occupies the area once known as the apple orchard.
A roll of yellow police tape hung on fencing nearby, although it was easy to overlook because it blended in with yellow signs for another business.
H&M was closed Sunday. Callers to the store were greeted with an automated message stating, "Please hold for assistance."
When officers arrived Saturday, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound that wasn't life-threatening, police said. Officers applied a tourniquet and rendered first aid until firefighters and Three Rivers Ambulance Authority medics arrived.
On Sunday, the store looked orderly except for some misplaced items, including a blue and white striped shirt – still on its hanger – lying on the floor near the bloodied entrance.
People passed the area carrying babies, pushing strollers, sipping drinks and toting shopping bags. Some pointed to – and a few apparently took pictures of – the splotches just beyond the store's closed gate while others seemed uninterested in the scene.
Two people carrying several brown paper bags seemed to be on a mission as they momentarily ducked into stores neighboring H&M. One approached a custodian emptying a trash bin outside the retailers and offered him what looked like a baked good before saying, "Yesterday was tough." | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/police-fire/normalcy-returns-to-fort-wayne-mall-in-wake-of-non-deadly-shooting/article_caa588c2-1ea9-11ee-9988-3bd779747591.html | 2023-07-10T01:39:50 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/police-fire/normalcy-returns-to-fort-wayne-mall-in-wake-of-non-deadly-shooting/article_caa588c2-1ea9-11ee-9988-3bd779747591.html |
AMBRIDGE, Pa. — The coroner has been called to a shooting scene in Ambridge.

PHOENIX — Ji Man Choi homered for the first time in nearly three months and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 on Sunday to end the unofficial first half of the season at Chase Field in Phoenix.
Choi’s two-run shot came in the second inning and put the Pirates ahead 2-1. It was the first home run for Choi since April 11 as he sustained an Achilles injury two days later and did not return to action until Friday.
Choi had two of the Pirates’ six hits.
Jack Suwinski’s sacrifice fly in the fifth inning snapped a 2-2 tie as the Pirates (41-49) averted being swept in the three-game series. They went 2-5 on their road trip to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers then Phoenix.

Albion College professors ready to help prepare NASA return to moon
Two Albion College professors are set to help the National Aeronautics and Space Administration research the Earth's moon as part of an international effort beginning later this year.
Albion College professors Nicolle Zellner and Carrie Menold will conduct research as one of five teams selected to collaborate on lunar research in NASA's Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute.
The team that Albion experts are joining, the Center for Advanced Sample Analysis of Astromaterials from the Moon and Beyond (CASA Moon), is set to research samples brought back from lunar visits to better understand the history and processes of the moon.
The team will be led by Charles Shearer, a senior research scientist of the Institute of Meteoritics and a research professor at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
"We're an international team of about 35 scientists from around the world, who each have an interest in analyzing samples from the moon in order to understand both about the moon's origin and evolution, and also what we can learn from the moon to interpret or to understand evolution of other objects in our solar system," said Nicolle Zellner, professor and chair of the Albion College Physics Department.
CASA Moon is set to study the evolution, origin and chronology of the lunar crust by analyzing samples from the moon prior to a lunar mission by NASA's Artemis program, which plans to land astronauts on the moon again by 2025. The Artemis III and Artemis IV missions will be the first crewed missions to the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
“It’s an incredible opportunity to be able to work and interact with others under this umbrella,” Zellner said in a statement. “Brainstorming with experts all over the world and working on such a multifaceted lunar sample project is exciting.”
Partners of the team will each receive a portion of moon crust samples from NASA to research in their own labs and then collaborate mostly virtually and sometimes in-person, Zellner said. Nationwide partners of the CASA Moon team include Brown University, the University of Colorado, the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Goddard Space Flight Center, Johnson Space Center and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
CASA Moon international partners include the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain, the University of Western Ontario in Canada, the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and the Australian National University and Curtin University in Australia.
Zellner said CASA Moon will specifically take a look at the sample of the moon's crust from the Apollo 17 mission, which was recently opened in 2019 by NASA. It's a rare moment for a scientist to study fragments from the moon, she said.
"For me, it's just really cool to think about famous scientists opening up a sample that was collected before I was born. That includes samples that trace the history of the moon," Zellner said.
"I still remember to this day, opening up my first Apollo sample. I was in the lab as a graduate student with my adviser, and it was kind of a big deal. ... He was passing on the excitement of opening up an Apollo sample for the first time basically," said Zellner, who got her Ph.D. in astronomy at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y.
Zellner is one of few scientists who specializes in impact glass, traces of what's left in samples after an object like a comet or asteroid hits the surface of a planet or moon. When studying Apollo samples, materials like impact glasses are likely to be found along with traces of volcanic activity, she said. These findings can help study the evolution of the moon from recent years to centuries ago.
With the Artemis missions, NASA plans to land the first woman and first person of color on the moon. The astronauts plan to explore the lunar surface with the goal of eventually creating a long-term presence on the moon. NASA plans to use the research from the Artemis missions eventually to land astronauts on Mars, the solar system's nearest planet, NASA said in a release.
Each of the five international teams are studying lunar sciences and conducting sample analyses to prepare for the Artemis missions.
“These new teams bring a wealth of expertise that will help us better understand the lunar environment and prepare for human and robotic lunar exploration so we can maximize the science return of Artemis," said Jacob Bleacher, chief exploration scientist within NASA’s Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, in a May statement.
NASA is funding CASA Moon and the other four teams with nearly $1.5 million per year.
With Zellner's and Menold's contributions to the CASA Moon team's research, Zellner said there will be similar opportunities for Albion students to learn about their research and become part of CASA Moon's mission. In October, they're planning on hosting an event for International Observe the Moon Night and other ways this year for students in K-12 and higher education to become involved.
Carrie Menold, chair of the Albion College Earth and Environment Department, is the liaison for the team's inclusion plan and will be helping with the community outreach of the project.
"That will probably be one of the biggest things for the team itself because I think we've got three or four institutions on the team who are actually going to be participating in International Observe the Moon Night," said Zellner.

Pride flag adorns Hamtramck city pole for two hours on Sunday before it's removed
Two members of a Hamtramck human rights commission raised an LGBTQ+ flag on a city flagpole Sunday, defying a controversial flag rule in the city for more than two hours.
Catrina Stackpoole, a member of the city's Human Relations Commission member and Russ Gordon, chair of the commission, hung the large, $500 Pride flag on a city pole along Jos. Campau Street near Neibel Street just after 3 p.m.
Stackpoole told The Detroit News the flag was removed before 5:30 p.m. by an unidentified person.
"We had a wonderful rally. We raised by gay pride flag. There were a few speeches, we left and two to three hours later," Stackpoole said.
The Wayne County enclave approved a flag resolution, banning LGBTQ+, religious, ethnic, racial and political flags from flying on city property.
Called a "Resolution to Maintain and Confirm the Neutrality Of the City of Hamtramck Towards Its Residents," it was unanimously approved in June after a four-hour meeting, banning all but five flags from being flown on city properties — including the American flag, the state of Michigan flag, the Hamtramck flag and the Prisoner of War flag.
The fifth one is known as the nations' flag, one that represents the countries from which the city's immigrant residents hail and reflects the community's international character.
Stackpoole said public funds raised to restore aging flag poles in the city mean city officials cannot exclude anyone who wants to raise a flag.
"The flag cost $500 so it's hard to do another replacement. But we are continuing to protest and I am going to federal court and sue them. It's unconstitutional," Stackpoole said.
Historically, Pride events began as a way to commemorate the uprising by LGBTQ+ communities in June 1969, known as the Stonewall rebellion in New York. The month now features events that celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
City officials have said the resolution was not rooted in division.
"It basically is council's attempt to keep the city's flag poles neutral," said City Manager Max Garbarino.

Originally published July 7 on IdahoCapitalSun.com
Due to high turnover and competition with federal agencies, half of the state of Idaho’s seasonal wildland firefighters are new, which has resulted in fewer experienced firefighters filling leadership positions, state officials said.
The state has full staffing overall with 170 seasonal firefighters, said Josh Harvey, the Idaho Department of Lands fire management chief. But the state is lacking experienced personnel, such as incident commanders and qualified engine bosses, who each lead a single fire engine and its personnel.
“Experienced firefighters really do have a major impact on how successful we are and keeping our folks safe,” Harvey said in a telephone interview. “We’ve got the staff to fight fires and fill all the seats on the engines. It’s just more of a concern to us if we had another 2021 fire season or a 2015 type season where fires really were explosive, they grew rapidly and there were a lot of starts. It creates situations where inexperienced firefighters may not recognize some hazards they are facing. From that standpoint, it’s a concern to us.”
As a result, Harvey told the Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners (which is made up of Gov. Brad Little and other statewide elected officials) that the state’s wildland firefighters would meet a minimum standard for fire readiness this year as a result of the turnover and lack of experience.
In an interview with the Sun, Harvey said that differs from past years where the state felt good about its ability to provide what he called a robust, experienced response.
Still, Harvey emphasized that the state’s seasonal firefighting crews are committed to providing a safe, effective response across the state and focusing on the state’s goal of keeping 94% of fires it is responsible for to 10 acres of less.
“This year, the reality is that we’re missing out on a lot of those leadership-level folks. It’s hard to describe. We’re going to meet our minimum standards. We can fill in spots where we have holes. But it’s like that experienced bench strength (in sports). We don’t have a lot of bench strength this year.”
Who is responsible for fighting wildfires in Idaho?
The Idaho Department of Lands provides fire protection on more than 6 million acres, including state land, private forests, endowment forest lands and offset lands. Meanwhile, a coalition of federal agencies provides fire protection on Idaho’s federal lands, including national forests and Bureau of Land Management lands.
The federal government manages about 34.5 million acres of land in Idaho, which is about two-thirds of the state’s landmass, according to the Idaho Department of Lands.
Why is Idaho struggling to retain experienced wildland firefighters?
Harvey, the fire chief for the Idaho Department of Lands, said turnover and leadership retention are complex problems. The economy, Idaho housing costs, state pay levels and competition with federal agencies play roles.
For example, Harvey said fire crews historically hire college students who are looking to save money for the school year.
“Speaking specifically for Idaho, the cost of living to find a place to rent or to buy has skyrocketed from north to south, even in smaller communities,” Harvey said.
That means student firefighters are spending almost all of their pay on housing and are not able to save money for the school year.
“When we’re looking for temporary employees, some of the deciding factors for these folks are where am I going to live and how much is it going to cost?” he said.
During the most recent legislative session, state legislators approved funding to provide housing to seasonal firefighters in the Kamiah district, Harvey said. One of the Idaho Department of Lands’ strategies is to develop and provide housing for seasonal firefighters, particularly in hard-to-staff regions, Harvey said.
Harvey said he hopes to see housing programs continue and expand, but he knows it will be a years-long process to meet the needs.

Competition for pay is another factor, Harvey said. There is a relatively small pool of people who are interested in working as wildland firefighters, a job that can be difficult and dangerous.
During the 2022 session, the Idaho Legislature approved a 24% increase in state funding for the Idaho Department of Lands budget, the Sun previously reported. That allowed the department to increase the number of seasonal firefighters from about 140 to 170 and increase starting pay to $15.
But the feds have been able to use funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or bipartisan infrastructure law, to offer temporary pay increases and other incentives for firefighters.
This week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is posting federal seasonal fire crew positions on the USAJOBS website with pay starting at $16.25 per hour. With one year of related experience, including a minimum of 90 days wildland firefighting experience, pay increases to $18.06 an hour for seasonal jobs as a wildland firefighter on a handcrew through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
However, the federal firefighting workforce has also been depleted by an inability to keep up with inflation and burnout, States Newsroom and the Idaho Capital Sun have previously reported.
Congress approved temporary pay increases for federal firefighters through the bipartisan infrastructure law. But Congress will need to take action to continue those pay increases after the federal government’s fiscal year ends Sept. 30.
“The temporary pay increases for firefighters authorized under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will continue through the end of the fiscal year (Sept. 30),” U.S. Forest Service Deputy Chief Jaelith Hall-Rivera wrote in a June 20 update on pay for federal wildland firefighters. “We are doing everything we can to inform and educate members of Congress on the potential consequences of the pay cliff.”
What can you do to help reduce the risk of wildfires?
Due to a record snowpack and wet spring, much of Idaho had a delayed start to the fire season and lower risk. However, state fire officials told the land board last month they expect the risk for wildfire to increase in July and August.
Fire officials also told the land board they are concerned about dry conditions and drought in North Idaho, which had a smaller snowpack and more rapid snowmelt.
Harvey said the public should not become lax with fire safety just because the grass looks green or people haven’t seen a lot of big fires locally this year.
“The No. 1 thing over and over again from people who accidentally start a fire is ‘I can’t believe how fast it travels,’” Harvey said. “People are always underestimating how quickly fire can move, even in an environment that seems green and lush.”
Harvey said there are several things to keep in mind when Idahoans are in the mountains or on public lands for recreations.
- Use only established fire rings for campfires, and clear the ground all around the fire ring before starting a fire. When you are done, make sure your campfire is completely extinguished, dead out.
- Make sure chains are not dragging on the ground from a vehicle or ATV. Don’t drive on exposed wheel rims or drive or park on dry grass or shrubs, which can start fires.
- Pay close attention to weather, drought conditions and

COTTONWOOD, Ariz. — A 13-month-old child has died after it was injured by a vehicle operated by the baby's mother outside a residence in Cottonwood, officials said.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said the child's mother called 911 Thursday morning to report that they had allegedly run over her child in the driveway of the family's property on Western Drive.
YCSO said the child was positioned in a car seat and the mother placed the seat in an area she thought was safe as she moved her vehicle out of a tight space.
While repositioning the car, one of the front tires caught the car seat's canopy which caused it to fall backward. As a result, the baby sustained critical injuries.
YCSO said the child died at Verde Valley Medical Center and its investigation into the incident is ongoing.

UNION, Maine — A Maine man has drowned in a pond while trying to rescue his daughters, the Maine Warden Service said.
Henry Brooks, 46, of Hope, was at Seven Tree Pond in Union on Saturday afternoon watching his 12- and 13-year-old daughters swim when one of them fell into deeper water where the river enters the pond, the warden service said. The other daughter also fell into the deeper water trying to rescue her sister and both were swept out to even deeper areas of the pond.
Brooks jumped into the water to rescue them, followed by his 27-year-old son, who grabbed a life jacket, the warden service said. The son swam to his sisters and brought them back to a nearby dock. When he looked back, he could not find his father, the warden service said.
Game wardens, fire and rescue crews, and the local sheriff's office searched the area by boat and foot but were unable to find Brooks. Three Maine Warden Service divers recovered Brooks' body at about 7:30 p.m. on Saturday approximately 50 feet (15 meters) from shore, not far from the dock. The children were brought to PenBay Medical Center in Rockport where they stayed overnight for observation.

FRANKLIN, Ind. — The dreams of becoming a baseball star just became reality for a recent graduate of Franklin Community High School.
Max Clark, 18, was chosen as the number 3 pick by the Detroit Tigers in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft.
The center fielder was named the 2022-23 Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year just last month.
In his senior year of high school ball, Clark batted .646 with six home runs, had 33 runs batted in and 45 runs scored. Besides an .808 on-base percentage and a 1.215 slugging percentage, he also stole 35 bases and committed just two errors in the entire season.
The 6-foot, 1-inch, 205-pound Clark previously signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball at Vanderbilt University.
The Pittsburgh Pirates selected hard-throwing LSU right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes with the top pick, with teammate Dylan Crews going No. 2 to the Washington Nationals.
Skenes went 12-3 with 209 strikeouts in 122 innings in helping lead the Tigers to the College World Series championship. The pick was announced by Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., the top pick of the 1987 draft by the Seattle Mariners.
Skenes was the first college pitcher selected No. 1 overall since Casey Mize by Detroit in 2018.
“He had an incredibly special season at LSU. He obviously took another step forward this spring,” Pittsburgh general manager Ben Cherington said. “It’s a really special combination of pitches and just as much about the mix and command than any one pitch.”
For the second time in three years, the Pirates held the top overall selection after picking catcher Henry Davis at the top of the 2021 draft. Davis made his major league debut last month for Pittsburgh.
Skenes’ slot value is expected to be about $9.7 million. Cherington said the hope is an agreement can come quickly and Skenes could pitch somewhere in the Pirates organization in 2023.
“It will have been a little while since he last pitched in the World Series and we want to be sure that whatever that schedule and progression looks (like) makes sense for him,” Cherington said.
It seemed to be a debate between Skenes and Crews for the top pick. It didn't take long for Crews to come off the board after hitting .426 with 18 home runs while playing center field for the Tigers. Crews had a 26-game hitting streak as part of his standout season for the Tigers and finished his career at LSU by reaching base in each of his final 75 college games.
Crews is the first college position player taken by Washington with its first pick since Anthony Rendon in 2011.
“A guy we’ve watched since he was in high school,” Nationals president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo said. “He’s the type of guy that we want here in Washington. He’s a terrific person. He’s got great character. He’s very competitive and he’s a winner.”
Skenes and Crews are the first teammates to go 1-2 in draft history.
Florida outfielder Wyatt Langford went No. 4 to Texas, and high school outfielder Walker Jenkins, from Oak Island, North Carolina, went fifth to Minnesota.
Oakland took college shortstop Jacob Wilson, the son of former major league shortstop Jack Wilson, from Grand Canyon at No. 6.
Wake Forest right-hander Rhett Lowder went No. 7 to Cincinnati, Kansas City selected high school catcher Blake Mitchell, from Sinton, Texas, at No. 8, and Colorado picked Tennessee right-hander Chase Dollander.
The top 10 concluded with Miami selecting high school righty Noble Meyer from Jesuit High School in Portland, Oregon. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/franklin-baseball-star-chosen-no-3-in-2023-mlb-draft-detroit-tigers/531-8b789104-2b86-48b6-9dc6-320a6e9150f4 | 2023-07-10T02:08:03 | 1 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/franklin-baseball-star-chosen-no-3-in-2023-mlb-draft-detroit-tigers/531-8b789104-2b86-48b6-9dc6-320a6e9150f4 |
INDIANAPOLIS — A special event at the Eiteljorg Museum Sunday welcomed people who might not typically enjoy a visit.
The museum hosted a "sensory-friendly day" allowing adults and children with sensory sensitivities to enjoy exhibits.
(Note: The video attached is a previous 13News story about the museum's newly reimagined Native American Galleries)
The Eiteljorg previously hosted a similar event around Christmas the last few years, but this is a first for the summer.
"We wanted people to feel safe, no matter how you wanted to experience this museum to come into this space, so we created these spaces that are specifically for those people," said Elizabeth Bostelman, manager of public programs. "We're slowly changing that culture so that, you know, they can feel comfortable coming any time of the year."
The museum offers sensory bags to guests who might need them. It includes special items, like a framed painting with different textures for people to touch. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indys-eiteljorg-museum-holds-sensory-friendly-day-indianapolis-indiana/531-ca212022-6699-4978-b0df-888258f154b8 | 2023-07-10T02:08:20 | 1 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indys-eiteljorg-museum-holds-sensory-friendly-day-indianapolis-indiana/531-ca212022-6699-4978-b0df-888258f154b8 |

CHANDLER, Ariz. — Caring for hair isn’t new for Rachel Lewis. She was a hairdresser for 13 years when COVID hit, and she sought to spend more time with her family.
Her new job though still keeps grooming hair.
“With being a hairdresser, you know, you look at hair patterns and things like that and that's what a lot of the taxidermy is, is being able to put the skin back where it should go,” Lewis said. “And I think that hairdressing gave me that ability, as well as that creative aspect.”
Lewis opened Copper State Taxidermy in Chandler about three years ago.
“I’m an animal lover and always have been and I just thought there’s no way I would, you know, do something like that,” Lewis said.
But, Lewis said she’s fallen in love with the art form that is taxidermy.
Now, her workshop has molds, tools and work she’s completing - mostly for hunters.
“My husband came out and I had the can of hairspray he’s like, ‘What are you doing with that?’ I was like, “It holds the hair perfectly in the ears in place.’ He’s like, ‘I knew your hairdressing would come in use.’ And it really kind of has,” Lewis said.
A new creation she’s made is bringing back the nostalgia of piggy banks through a novelty piece.
“I ended up creating a taxidermy pig piggy bank,” Lewis said.
She said she was inspired by a digital art creator a few years ago an the idea cured for a few years to become a taxidermy pig piggy bank.
“It just kind of came into my mind when I got the specimens in and I had it kind of locked away for a while,” Lewis said.
The mounted life-like pig has a hole in its back for change, just like ceramic piggy banks, with a stopper to take the money out of the pig’s bottom.
While she intended to keep the one she had finished, she sold it. But is working on another.
However, the specimens are rare. Lewis says pigs are not harvested for this purpose but are instead pigs that are stillborn or die shortly after birth from local farms.
“I just hope that they understand that I’m not causing harm to these animals and that they really are loved,” Lewis said.
Lewis sees it as making art to bring a new life and purpose.
“I kind of took them on as like, what can I do with this to kind of salvage or give it a life that it didn't kind of get to have,” Lewis said.

NWI Parkinson's Inc. is hosting its annual summer wellness party and grand re-opening on Friday, Aug. 11, beginning at 5 p.m., in Highland. The organization recently renovated the upstairs of the building.
HIGHLAND — Members from NWI Parkinson's Inc. encourage people to celebrate the organization's upcoming summer wellness party and grand re-opening in August.
"This is a family group," Vice Chairman Don Nagdeman said. "We thrive on fun and look forward to this every year."
NWI Parkinson's goal is to make people more aware of Parkinson's, and to help those who've been diagnosed cope with the disease. The 501(c)(3) organization has grown to serve more than 2,000 people annually, Nagdeman said.
"We started off crawling, then we got to walking. I feel like we're in the running stage now," he said proudly.
The organization recently completed renovations to the upstairs of its building, which was purchased on Jan. 17, 2017. Renovations include the addition of a ping-pong room, social room and reiki room. Reiki is an energy healing technique that involves the use of gentle hand movements to reduce stress, according to Everyday Health.
The new rooms will be unveiled at the seventh annual summer wellness party on Friday, Aug. 11, beginning at 5 p.m., at the NWI Parkinson's building, 2927 Jewett Ave. in Highland. This event will be co-opted by the Highland-Griffith, and Munster chamber of commerce's.
Food and drinks will be provided by Abbvie, Boston Scientific, Supernus Pharmaceuticals, and Malt Brothers Brewing. The band, Father and Sons, will begin performing at 8 p.m. (To rsvp for the free event, call the NWI Parkinson's office at 219-237-2342.)
NWI Parkinson's was founded by Elizabeth Woodbury, after she was diagnosed with the disease in 2004. Woodbury, nicknamed Libby, said it's wonderful being able to talk about the disease with those who understand the effects firsthand.
"I think there's a lot of people who have Parkinson's that would enjoy this," Woodbury said at the NWI Parkinson's building. "You can relate to us. You can understand us."
About 90,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with Parkinson’s every year, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation. The disease affects around 10 million people, but the cause remains largely unknown. Common symptoms include tremors, limb stiffness, balance problems, slowness and paucity of movement.
NWI Parkinson's offers free exercise classes, weekly discussion groups, support groups and monthly educational seminars to patients. Two fundraisers a year, including a fashion show and dinner dance, allow the organization to offer classes and seminars to patients and their families at no-cost. (To learn more visit nwiparkinson.org.)
Dolores Siwy, of Calumet City, attends classes provided by the organization four times a week. Siwy, 77, is excited for the summer wellness party because she enjoys seeing people who she doesn't always see in class.
Woodbury and Nagdeman are hoping the upcoming event will continue spreading awareness about Parkinson's across Northwest Indiana.
"We just want to get the word out that we are here," Nagdeman said. "There's nothing we won't do to help Parkinson patients."

GRAPEVINE, Texas — A man has been arrested and charged with murder after a woman's body was found at Grapevine Lake, police announced Sunday.
Police said they arrested Daniel Burch, 35, for his alleged role in the "violent death" of Jennifer Holmes, who was also identified on Sunday.
Police responded to Grapevine Lake around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 6, after a witness reported seeing a body near a spillway on the side of the dam. Crews recovered the body and "discovered signs of trauma inconsistent with drowning."
After the body was identified as Holmes, police said they interviewed Burch, who was living with the victim at the time. Police described their relationship as "close friends."
According to police, Burch told detectives that the two were on the way to the lake on the morning of Wednesday, July 5, when they got into an argument.
Police said Holmes was shot multiple times and then her body was taken to the lake.
Burch was booked into Tarrant County Jail on a murder charge, with a bond set at $150,000.
Further details were not immediately released as the investigation continues.
Police said detectives found evidence such as shell casings about a mile from where Holmes' body was found.
"The thorough and extensive search by detectives, patrol officers and crime scene investigators in this case demonstrates the high level of dedication and compassion Grapevine officers and personnel have for the community and victims of crime," police said in a news release. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/man-charged-murder-womans-body-found-grapevine-lake-texas/287-d691aeab-94ad-43c6-a7e4-273abebb824e | 2023-07-10T02:34:52 | 0 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/man-charged-murder-womans-body-found-grapevine-lake-texas/287-d691aeab-94ad-43c6-a7e4-273abebb824e |

BOISE, Idaho — The Boise Fire Department fought a two-acre fire on the Boise Greenbelt on Sunday, July 9 around 3:00 p.m. The department called it a grass fire, it happened across the river from the Warm Springs Golf Corse.
"Engine 3, Engine 15, Brush 12, Brush 1, and BC 1 responded to thick brush and trees on fire. Crews quickly worked to contain the fire that burned approximately 2 acres. Due to limited access to the area, firefighters initially attacked the fire with only hand tools," the department stated.
Boise Fire said it took the department several hours to get the fire out and that they had to work through a lot of thick brush. No one was hurt. The department does not know what caused the fire and the cause is under investigation.

BOISE, Idaho — When former Boise Police Det. Lance Anderson retired in 2005, it didn't mean he stopped working.
The unsolved murder of 65-year-old Joyce Casper in 1987 lingered in Anderson's mind, and he kept in contact with the lead detective on the murder investigation long after he left the department.
"I had 27 years in the violent crimes unit. No case had the same impact... This case stayed with me," Anderson said. "(It) was very difficult. She was a wonderful person who was highly respected. For something like this to happen to anybody is horrific."
On Sunday, current and retired Boise Police Detectives gathered at City Hall West with Casper's family to close a 36-year-long unsolved chapter.
Nearly every chair was filled with a police officer, a forensic scientist, members of Casper's family, the media and others who came to hear the story of the investigation from beginning to end -- and recognize those who spent years following up on leads, collecting DNA and interviewing family members.
Boise Police Department (BPD) Capt. Matt Jones told the crowd he was only 10 years old in 1987, but his father, Larry Jones, was working the day Casper was discovered.
"My sisters and I were riding in a car with my father... I remember he received a message on his pager, and he had a stop to find a phone... So often happens in a police family, we put our personal plans for the day on hold so dad could go to work," Jones said. "Little did we know, the work that began that day would last for 36 years."
Detectives lost sleep. They traveled to other states. They worked overtime. And they never let go of the thought that maybe -- just maybe -- one day, Casper's killer would have a name.
In 2023, it finally came.
Police announced on July 7 who they believed killed Casper that night so long ago -- Frank A. Rodriguez, a man who died by suicide in 2007.
October 1987
Casper's body was found on Oct. 13, 1987, inside her car at Day Drive and Robert Street -- just blocks from the business she owned, Casper's Vista Hallmark and Gift Shop on Vista Avenue.
Anderson was one of the responding officers that day -- when his team arrived, they found Casper had been strangled and sexually assaulted. Police believed whoever killed her was lying in wait to attack when she got to her car, killed and assaulted her, drove her car two blocks down the road and left it by the railroad tracks.
"We found her purse had been emptied... A credit card was missing... No cameras in the area... And we couldn't find any witnesses," Anderson said.
Weeks before Casper's death, police learned she had reported a young man, possibly 17-25 years old with slick black hair tried to assault her at the store but ran off. Anderson believes this could have been the man who killed Casper as a form of retaliation.
Police found male semen at the scene, which was collected -- but technology at the time wasn't advanced enough to lead to any specific person. It almost seemed like a dead end. The suspect's DNA was also never listed in law enforcement's national database, CODIS, so that remained a dead end as well.
A long road
Casper's case was continually re-opened and passed along to other detectives, Boise Police never gave up. Technology continued to progress, and slowly but surely, investigators were able to cross more people off their list.
Over 145 suspects were investigated and cleared, BPD Det. Paul Jagosh told the crowd on Sunday. Det. Josiah Ransom, who was assigned the case at the time, continued to do follow-up with forensic labs and even drove across state lines to collect DNA swabs from people in genetic genealogy databases.
In 2017, police developed a profile from the DNA sample left at the scene using Parabon NanoLabs, a company that develops phenotyping services.
The DNA profile from Parabon showed the suspect was likely a young Latino man of Puerto Rican descent, with brown or hazel eyes and brown or black hair. This was helpful to investigators but did not lead to anyone specific.
In 2019, Jagosh was assigned to the Casper case after Ransom was promoted. Jagosh began working with DNA technology experts at Identifinders International to build a family tree based off the male DNA at the scene in order to narrow down their pool of possible suspects.
"I conducted hundreds of hundreds of searches of individuals who may or may not be in this family tree to see criminal histories if they're related, sending that off to genealogists and seeing how it's related... And came up with this," Jagosh said. He showed the crowd a photo of a family tree, with pen marks and writing covering the entire surface of the paper.
"I don't know if you've ever seen the movie 'A Beautiful Mind' but this is what my brain looks like doing an investigation," Jagosh said.
Jagosh began interviewing people within the family tree. Investigators spend a large amount of time deciding who to speak to, because they didn't know who the killer was, or if a relative would tell the killer investigators were close to closing in.
"I could be talking to the killer's son, his uncle and his parents. I don't know. That's how little information we had about this case," Jagosh said.
That's when Jagosh said investigators went into "emergency mode" -- one of the relatives in Massachusetts had died of a drug overdose, and police wanted their DNA to match to the DNA at the scene to determine some sort of potential relationship.
Massachusetts denied their warrant for a DNA sample. So Jagosh went another direction.
"I started working with the New York City Police Department cold case detectives and the Ontario County Sheriff's Office detectives, because I would have flown pretty much all over the country interviewing and trying to track down family databases," Jagosh said. "Family members were in in local databases, but not necessarily national ones that I would have access to."
Again, Jagosh went back to his family tree.
He searched social media sites, trying to find family members with no criminal history. Jagosh tracked down two women who mentioned having a brother with many children from multiple marriages -- but he didn't match the timeline police had come up with for Casper's death. This man was in the military at the time, was very successful and was likely not the person investigators were looking for.
He did mention to police that he had a half-brother in Idaho.
Investigators located his children and his former wife, who had moved to California. His sons were unhoused in Los Angeles, Jagosh said, so it was quite an undertaking tracking them down. But one day, Jagosh and his team finally got the sample they needed.
"We're in a Starbucks. I've got an N95 mask on, blue rubber gloves, a giant Q-tip and I'm getting a mouth swab from someone," he told the crowd.
Jagosh sent these samples to Identifinders, who confirmed those samples were those of the children of the killer. Just to be sure, Jagosh said, the samples were also sent to the Idaho State Police Forensic Lab.
Investigators had their match.
Frank Rodriguez
Frank Rodriguez was born in 1970, making him around 17 years old at the time police say he murdered Casper.
Based on what Jagosh knows about criminal profiling, he said Rodriguez fits the mold.
He lived in the area at the time, and it's possible he was the one that assaulted Casper weeks before her death and was coming back to retaliate, Jagosh said.
"Looking again at the crime scene, looking at the details of the crime, and then just what I know about the perpetrator -- speaking with his family and his personality, it's really struggle to think this was a one and only event for him. There is a considerable effort, looking out to see if there's any other victims of his," Jagosh said. There is no known connection between Casper and Rodriguez.
When detectives spoke with Rodriguez's family, they were cooperative, Jagosh told the media.
"This felt like a death notification. Telling the mother what their child did... Was brutal. The family is horrified and they're very sad," Jagosh said. "They have a lot of empathy for the Casper family."
Police are working with other states as well as investigators in Caldwell, where Rodriguez lived at the end of his life, to take a second look at their cold cases to see if he was involved in any other crimes.
To Anderson, the day Rodriguez was identified was "a relief."
He told the media he knew the day would come -- as did other detectives. Some said they just had a "gut feeling" the case would be solved.
"You have to have a positive mindset," Anderson said. "Without that, things get dropped."
Casper's children speak out
Roberta Casper-Watson, Pauline Casper and Chuck Casper all arrived on Sunday to the Boise Police Department. They don't live in Idaho anymore, but they made the trip -- for their mother.
Roberta Casper-Watson said her mother was "vivacious."
"My high school classmates were as upset with her death as I was. A lot of them went to South Junior High and would come to the store, back when it was a drugstore and had soda fountain. They would come for lunch," she said. "Mom would fuss over them! Many, many of them -- still when I go to reunions -- that's what they want to talk about is how much they miss my mom. She was just really generous of spirit."
None of Joyce Casper's children thought the day when her murder would be solved would ever come -- but now that it's here, they find "great relief in knowing" they said.
Chuck Casper said his family is grateful for the work of the Boise Police Department, for never letting go and "for always keeping the faith."
"What I would say to others is to remember there are other people working on the case who who feel very deeply about it and are committed to seeing it through," he told the media on Sunday.
Detectives honored for their work
Boise Police Chief Ron Winegar recognized the officers who spent their years pouring their heart into the Casper case. From retired detectives to current detectives to lab personnel, all stood up and were applauded for the effort they have given in order to bring the case to a close.
Each were handed a certificate commemorating the accomplishment of closing a long unsolved case.
"We have an obligation to the person who is deceased, to find out when, why how, who. That's what detectives do. That's what lab personnel do. That's what investigators of every shape and size and departments do -- because it's important," Winegar said. "I am grateful to those who worked so hard to bring this case to closure and who continue to work to bring justice and knowledge and information to family members of those who have been killed, regardless of the circumstances in our community."
Initial detectives on the case who were honored Sunday:
- Larry Jones
- Jim Tibbs
- Lance Anderson
- JR Martin
- Kurt Mcallister
- Tony Wallace
- Bob Mack
- Mark Ayotte
- Dick Miller
- Chip Morgan
- Greg Morgan
- Dave Smith
"To the Casper family, to my father and to all the retired members of BPD whose shoulders we now stand on..." Capt. Matt Jones said, "We solved it."
Anyone with information regarding Frank Rodriguez is encouraged to call Boise Police Department dispatch at 208-377-6790 or 208-570-6000.

PETERS TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A man is facing charges after police say he attacked his ex-girlfriend with a hammer.
Police say they were called to Thompsonville Road at around 1:45 a.m. on Saturday after a father said he woke up to screaming and found his daughter unresponsive on a garage floor.
Court documents say there was a large pool of blood around the woman and bloody footprints that left the garage through a man door.
Police also found a hammer near the woman with what appeared to be blood and hair on it. The woman was taken to a hospital. She had a broken jaw, skull fractures and missing teeth.
Officers identified William McCann Oberschelp, 38, as a possible suspect after the victim’s father told them his daughter had just broken up with him and moved home just 10 days earlier.
Court documents say that police went to Oberschelp’s apartment in Bethel Park to ask him questions. When he greeted them he allegedly said, “I’m the one you’re looking for.”
Oberschelp told police he took an Uber to the house on Thompsonville Road and entered the house through the garage. He said he woke the victim out of her sleep and the two went to the garage where they began arguing. The argument escalated into an assault and Oberschelp allegedly began hitting the woman in the back of the head with a hammer and then kicked her multiple times once she was on the ground.
Oberschelp is facing attempted homicide, burglary and aggravated assault charges.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A teenage boy is missing and presumed drowned after a a 12-foot crabbing boat capsized where Nestucca Bay meets the Pacific Ocean, the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office said.
The incident happened around 7:20 p.m. July 7, officials said. The boat held 3 people — a 40-year-old man plus two boys, 17 and 15 — when it capsized. The adult and the 17-year-old made it to shore, but the 15-year-old disappeared.
A search and rescue mission was launched right away but despite 2 days of looking the teen has not been found. Officials said he was not wearing a life jacket at the time.
On Sunday afternoon, the boat resurfaced and was recovered, officials said.
“These types of incidents happen in the blink of an eye. It is important to be wearing life jackets, or have them readily available immediately,” Tillamook County Deputy Greiner said in a statement. “You should also avoid crabbing, fishing, paddling or swimming on an outgoing tide anywhere near the mouth of a bay or river. Your survival in a boating accident greatly increase if you are wearing a PFD, no matter what your age. No family should have to go through something like this.”
The names of those involved have not been released. | https://www.koin.com/local/oregon-coast/crabbing-boat-capsizes-at-nestucca-bay-teen-presumed-drowned/ | 2023-07-10T03:34:25 | 1 | https://www.koin.com/local/oregon-coast/crabbing-boat-capsizes-at-nestucca-bay-teen-presumed-drowned/ |
LARGO, Fla. — A fire occurred Saturday night at a hospital in Largo, officials say.
The fire started in the bathroom of a patient room on the third floor of HCA Florida Largo Hospital, the Largo Fire Department confirmed to 10 Tampa Bay.
Authorities say it appears that a battery in the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom overheated and then caught fire.
Nineteen patients were reportedly removed from the 3rd floor of the hospital and relocated to a safe area as nurses and firefighters kept watch.
The fire was put out by the building's sprinkler system, but the water managed to make its way from the third floor, down to the first floor, officials say.
The fire department says crews are still cleaning up the water on those three floors to ensure it does not short out any electrical equipment and possibly start another fire.
Authorities say the initial response to the incident was two alarms with 40 firefighters arriving at the hospital.
10 Tampa Bay has reached out to HCA Corporate to determine if there will be any impact on patient services but has not yet heard back. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/hca-florida-largo-hospital-fire/67-f0516c25-86f9-46f1-96cd-f580fa0a875d | 2023-07-10T03:36:59 | 0 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/hca-florida-largo-hospital-fire/67-f0516c25-86f9-46f1-96cd-f580fa0a875d |
NEWPORT, Oregon — The mayor of Newport is accused of posting homophobic and racist memes in a Facebook group, angering his constituents.
On Saturday, more than 100 people protested outside City Hall, demanding that Mayor Dean Sawyer resign.
Sawyer’s post, which stems back to 2016, was first reported by OPB. Sawyer’s posts include racist and homophobic memes made in a private law enforcement Facebook group.
"I felt betrayed," Newport City Councilor CM Hall said.
Hall joined more than 100 protesters Saturday and is urging Sawyer to resign.
"He has to go, he just has to go,” Newport resident Franki Trujillo-Dalbey said. “We can't let this stand."
City officials sent KGW dozens of controversial Facebook posts Sawyer made.
"What these memes did was once again target me, target people who look like me,” Trujillo-Dalbey said. “Target my LGBTQ friends, target my trans friends."
On the Facebook group homepage, it said you must show your law enforcement ID badge in order to be admitted to the group. There are almost 40,000 members.
"This is what's been going on in all of our communities," Trujillo-Dalbey said.
Sawyer did not respond to repeated requests for an interview. But he did tell OPB that the posts “Don’t reflect who I am and what I do on a daily basis. They were stupid. They were juvenile.”
But Newport residents said they don’t think Sawyer’s response is sufficient.
"You can't continue to post and post and post in a so-called private, 39,000 member Facebook group, and not believe those posts," Hall said.
In a statement, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners said they were ‘disturbed and saddened by the posts. Lincoln County Sheriff Curtis Landers and Newport Police Chief Jason Malloy both condemned the posts as well.
Sawyer was a Newport police officer for 30 years before being elected mayor in 2018.
"We can't live under a mayor, our highest elected official in our community, who harbors these kinds of belief systems,” Trujillo-Dalbey said. I mean this is who he is."
There will be a city council meeting Monday at 4 p.m. where councilors and community members will share their feelings about Sawyer’s post.
Hall said she plans to ask Sawyer to resign. | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/dean-sawyer-newport-mayor-controversy/283-2ed4389c-17c1-4c76-bdea-b46d44434e09 | 2023-07-10T04:05:15 | 0 | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/dean-sawyer-newport-mayor-controversy/283-2ed4389c-17c1-4c76-bdea-b46d44434e09 |
SAN ANTONIO — A teenager walking along the River Walk was shot Saturday night after investigators said he refused to give up his money and wallet during a robbery.
San Antonio police said the 17-year-old walked himself to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. It happened around 9:30 p.m. near Dallas St.
They said the man went up to the teen, demanding his money and cell phone. When the teen refused, the man attempted to hit him with a small black handgun, causing the teen to fall.
Police said the man shot the teen one time and ran off.
Rebeca Nelson lives in San Antonio. She said she would walk around downtown day and night and never had any issues with safety.
“For me, I say it’s surprising because I haven’t actually seen anything or experienced it myself,” Nelson said.
Jeanette Perez and her family were visiting San Antonio for the first time this weekend. They said they are going to be extra cautious after hearing about the incident.
“You just have to be aware of your surroundings because it’s just crazy nowadays,” Perez said.
Investigators have not found a suspected shooter.
“They got away with it once, they are probably going to do it again to another person,” Nelson said.

STONE HARBOR — A lineup of longboarders jockey for waves off 110th Street on a sunny morning, while beachgoers wheel overladen wagons, making their way across the beach and over a large steel pipe.
On this early July morning, that pipe is quiet, but most of the time, 24 hours a day, a rush of water and sand flows through as part of a $37.7 million beach building project.
As the summer of 2023 warms up, that project is winding down, the latest in a decades-long effort to keep sand on the beaches of New Jersey.
According to Steve Rochette with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Philadelphia District, the Stone Harbor and Avalon beach project is set to be completed by mid-July, although there will still be some ancillary crossover and fencing work to take place after that.
Rochette described it as minor and “not very impactful for the use of the beach.”

As for the ongoing project, which requires a block of the beach to be shut down to visitors at a time while the sand is shaped and distributed, beachgoers appear to have grown accustomed to the climb over the long pipe, with mounds of sand forming crossovers at regular intervals.
Since Cape May’s first federal beach replenishment project more than 30 years ago, federal projects building beaches using sand dredged from offshore shoals have become commonplace in New Jersey. Stone Harbor and Avalon, which share a barrier island, had another beachfill completed in 2017.
In most instances, the cost is divided between the federal government, the state and the municipality. So far, the total bill for all that sand is close to $1.5 billion. While some have balked at the numbers, and groups like the Surfrider Foundation have questioned the long-term viability of using sand to keep barrier islands from moving, supporters of beach replenishment say it is vital for the tourism economy and for storm protection.
ATLANTIC CITY — “I went to work, and should have stayed home,” said Dorris Aultman, 76, of A…
Protection of lives and property is the stated reason the Army Corps builds beaches. For Avalon and Stone Harbor, those wide beaches and dunes protect homes and properties with an assessed value of close to $15 billion.
“It’s key to everything Avalon holds dear,” said Jamie McDermott, Avalon’s Borough Council president, describing the impact of the beach project completed there this year as enormous.
He said he recalls walking with his father as a boy along the beach and touching the uprights of the Townsends Inlet Bridge before turning around.
Today, where he once walked is underwater, and the north end of Avalon along the inlet is protected by a stone seawall. He praised the work of the Army Corps and the contractor, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock.
The project reached Stone Harbor in early June, with the arrival of the dredge Texas.
The borough has posted regular updates on the progress of the work, the most recent indicating the beaches were closed from 117th Street through 121st Street as of July 6.
Ocean City also received additional sand last winter, with more expected to be added to the south end of the city this fall, as part of a project that will include Sea Isle City and the Strathmere section of Upper Township.
In Strathmere, several beach walkways in the north end remain closed because of erosion, but officials were able to open the path at the Beach Patrol headquarters at Williams Avenue to pedestrians.
The quaint, 174-year-old East Point Lighthouse commands a dazzling view of the confluence of…
At a recent Township Committee meeting, Upper Township Mayor Jay Newman cautioned beachgoers to stay clear of the edges of the dunes, both above and below, where erosion has cut 10-foot cliffs into the sides.
He said the dunes could collapse without warning and that it can be extremely dangerous, even deadly, to be caught under a pile of sand.
Township officials say the planned beach replenishment project is badly needed, but that visitors will have to make due with the smaller beaches available this summer. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/37-7m-stone-harbor-beach-project-nears-completion/article_5bd57312-1d00-11ee-94c0-3f7e6b2cadbf.html | 2023-07-10T04:14:04 | 1 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/37-7m-stone-harbor-beach-project-nears-completion/article_5bd57312-1d00-11ee-94c0-3f7e6b2cadbf.html |
Christmas Tree Shops is preparing to close all of its stores, including its location in Hamilton Township’s Consumer Square shopping center, after a loan default amid its ongoing bankruptcy.
The company disclosed the default last week, according to a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware last week.
The chain’s parent company, Handil Holdings, filed for bankruptcy in May.
An official closing date has not been announced.
The company’s Hamilton Township store opened in 2010, starting with 10 part- and full-time employees.
Christmas Tree Shops was privately held until 2002, when Union Township-based Bed Bath & Beyond acquired it for $200 million in cash. Annual sales then were $370 million, company records show.
Christmas Tree Shops was purchased by Handil Holdings from Bed Bath & Beyond, which also recently went through bankruptcy, in 2020. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/business/mayslanding-newjersey-bankruptcy-christmastreeshops/article_fe9d8804-1d01-11ee-b165-4b91fc05b005.html | 2023-07-10T04:14:10 | 1 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/business/mayslanding-newjersey-bankruptcy-christmastreeshops/article_fe9d8804-1d01-11ee-b165-4b91fc05b005.html |

SOMERS POINT — The storms kept at bay long enough this weekend for boat racing to thunder its way back into the city.
Jersey Shore Boat Racing brought one of its races to John F. Kennedy Park on Sunday. The park waterfront teemed with spectators and racers of all ages, ready to celebrate a sport they said united generations and was unique to the Jersey Shore.
It was the second consecutive year JSBR brought their race to JFK Park, having kicked off its 2022 season at the scenic city spot. Organizers have said they were excited to rejuvenate the traditional sport of boat racing in the area, which had been popular for decades but had waned in prominence in recent years.
JSBR President Nick Megee said he was happy with how the league had grown in the last year. While noting that forecasts of possible rain and thunderstorms had dampened the crowd somewhat Sunday, Megee said the race had still grown significantly from last year, both in terms of audience and racers. He said he met with city officials before the JSBR 2023 season began and planned on ways for advertising the race to the community.

“We have a lot more than we had last year, and it’s a good thing,” Megee, 43, said. “We’re trying to get as much exposure for JSBR as we can and, you can see the crowds compared to last year, it’s a lot more.”
Racing began at noon and featured a dozen boats, with one skiff, one min-boat and the remainder being Garveys. The Garveys were classified into different heats and classes of three to four boats as they roared across the course set up on the water, while the skiff and mini-boat rode in exhibitions. Crowds gathered on the edge of the water, with some taking to the platforms for a better vantage point. Organizers announced race results and played country music throughout the afternoon and served hot dogs and other standard summer fare.
Stephen Kraus, 32, of New Gretna, Burlington County, rode in his 350 stock boat Bad Clam G21 on Sunday, with his copilot Mike Dagostino, 55, of Mount Laurel, Burlington County. Speaking after the first round, which had put him in the lead, Kraus said the city had become an ideal racing day. The Bad Clam ultimately tied for first in the 350 class along with its competitor, Direct Deposit.
“It was a little rough, just got to drive with your head and not with your foot,” Kraus said. “It’s a really nice day, the weather’s turning out beautiful."
Anthony Gandolfo, 33, of Brick, helped race Drama Queen. He and copilot Matt Mason, in their second year racing, had only recently acquired their boat. They were still working to get acclimated to it. He said boat racing required dedication to fit it around his day job, where he works as a painter in an auto body shop.
“It’s definitely a big commitment, 100%,” Gandolfo said.
“(You need) lots of guts,” added Mason, 34, of Mayville. “You got to be an adrenaline junky.”
The free-to-attend races drew crowds from around the Atlantic County area to Tuckerton, where JSBR held its first race of the year in June. There were also several attendees from out of state.
Chelsea Barruzza, of Tuckerton, said she had been taking her children, Colton, 5, and Ellie, 2, to the races for years and used to provide on-site emergency services as a member of the Tuckerton Fire Company.
“It’s fun, because you get to be outside, you get to watch the races,” Barruzza said. “The race club’s really close and there are barbecues, and it’s the excitement.”
Stephen Nuttall, of Tuckerton, came with his daughter to watch the race. He said he appreciated the history of the race and its ties to the Jersey Shore.
“We got these racers in these neighborhoods and you see these races around town and it’s kind of cool,” Nuttall said. “It’s nice to see a hometown, racing atmosphere.”
Barry Wood, 68, of Island Heights, said his father raced boats in the 1960s, with his brother eventually taking to the waters as well.
“It’s been kind of a lifelong thing, a family thing,” Wood said.
Traditions on the water
Multiple racers and spectators relayed the same story when speaking of the origin of the sport. Local clammers and fishers in the 1950s, looking for a way spend their Sundays off, began comparing boat speeds. The competition was eventually formalized and becoming a staple sport in the area, before receding in popularity. Organizers said last year the 2022 race was the first held in Somers Point since 2009.
The fact boat racing stretched back generations was clear when speaking to some racers and spectators.
Jim Bevacqua, 63, of Tuckerton, said he began racing in the 1980s. His son, John, found an interest in the sport as young as 6 years old. Standing on the waterfront, Jim watched as John manned The Jokes on You with his copilot Rob Servis, which ultimately won the 315 Super Stock class.
“He runs the boat now, it’s the second generation,” Jim Bevacqua said of his son. “It’s phenomenal, it’s a high. ... When he’s out there, running good, you almost want to cry, really.”
John Bevacqua, now 32, said there was a simple reason why he wanted to carry on the family legacy — “the adrenaline.”
Another boat that used to belong to his father, now christened The G17 Assassin, was something he said moved him during the race. He noted that The Jokes on You was built in the early 1980s.
“It’s a lot of history, a lot of family-oriented history,” John Bevacqua said.
Servis, while a commercial fisherman who had spent much of his life on the water, said he was still new to the sport. Servis said he already appreciated the community it created and understood how it hooked families. He said his 10-year-old daughter already was eager to start racing as soon as she was able.
“It’s great out here, it’s a nice bar to be in,” Servis said. “It’s fun, meet a new group of people, gives you something to do on a Sunday afternoon.”
Megee, the JSBR president, said the future of the sport was already in the wings. His daughter, Kaylie Megee, a rising junior at Lacey Township High School, drove the mini-boat in its exhibition Thursday. She was the third generation of Megee boat racers, following after her father and grandfather.
“Don’t be intimidated, if you’re going to go, just go ahead and do it,” Kaylie Megee said for other aspiring riders.
John Bevacqua said his daughter was also beginning to take an interest in the sport.
“That’s what it’s all about,” Jim Bevacqua said.
Perry de Marco Sr., a Philadelphia attorney, said he had a previous life as a boat racer. He recalled heading the Dirty Perr in 1969, taking to the waters across the Jersey Shore, including Long Beach Island, Pleasantville and Tuckerton. He reminisced about the thrill of the races and its hardships.
“Our biggest challenge was keeping the boat from falling apart and being thrown out of it,” de Marco said. “This is in your blood.”
The JSBR circuit will return to JFK Park in Somers Point on Aug. 6 with races starting at noon. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/jersey-shore-boat-racing-roars-back-into-somers-point/article_4d84a8f4-1e9b-11ee-8a9e-fb2cc68f4627.html | 2023-07-10T04:14:22 | 0 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/jersey-shore-boat-racing-roars-back-into-somers-point/article_4d84a8f4-1e9b-11ee-8a9e-fb2cc68f4627.html |
