DALLAS — A trial is set to begin this week for a man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend's husband in a murder-for-hire plot. Darrin Lopez was charged with murder in the 2020 death of James Faith, who was fatally shot while walking his dog with his wife outside their Oak Cliff home. Jury selection is expected to start Monday, July 24, for Lopez's trial. Lopez is accused of shooting Faith seven times on the morning of Oct. 9, 2020, before he left the area. Lopez allegedly drove from his home in Tennessee and used a .45 caliber handgun. Faith worked as a technology director at American Airlines. Jennifer Faith, James' wife, was convicted of coordinating her husband's murder with Lopez. According to an arrest affidavit, Lopez and Faith were a couple in high school and college. Investigators believed she was having an affair with Lopez. In February 2022, she pleaded guilty to use of interstate commerce in the commission of murder-for-hire. She was later sentenced in June 2022 to life in prison. According to court documents, Jennifer Faith had encouraged Lopez to commit the act by posing under fake email accounts. Investigators found that she posed as her husband in April 2020 and emailed Lopez about "extreme physical and sexual abuse that never actually occurred." After her husband's death, Faith even interviewed with WFAA, pleading for help in finding her husband's killer. She gave a vehicle description during the interview, saying it was a black Nissan Titan extended cab with a Texas Rangers sticker in the back window. Court documents stated that two days after the WFAA interview she texted Lopez, saying "I woke up in a little bit of a panic….something is eating away at me telling me you need to take the sticker out of the back window the truck." About a month after James' death, prosecutors said that Faith admitted she initiated an insurance claim that sought nearly $629,000 in benefits through her husband's employer. Prosecutors also said Faith would text Lopez about the status of the claim and about using the money to apply for a residence in her name in Tennessee. Lopez also faces a federal charge of transporting a firearm in interstate commerce with the intent to commit a felony offense.	https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/trial-to-begin-darrin-lopez-accused-murder-shooting-death-ex-girlfriends-husband-james-faith-dallas/287-9e6542b0-f975-47c2-92ac-712fa8dc80c6	2023-07-24T02:13:50	0	https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/trial-to-begin-darrin-lopez-accused-murder-shooting-death-ex-girlfriends-husband-james-faith-dallas/287-9e6542b0-f975-47c2-92ac-712fa8dc80c6

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — July is go time for ladies with the Lake Naomi Timber Cares rally in Monroe County. "Every year, dozens of volunteers from the Lake Naomi Timber Trails community get together and work to fundraise and raise money for a worthy organization," said Lauren Harris, Lake Naomi Timber Cares Rally. Organizers tell Newswatch 16 the rally organizes 10 different events in July for a cause that varies each year. "We've done breast cancer we've done last year in the last two years we did the food pantry since the purpose of COVID. We thought we just needed to help the community. And this year, the cause that we've chosen is Valor Clinic Foundation," said Lynda Metzger, Lake Naomi Timber Trails 5K Chair. "It's a collective impact veterans charity. We have four programs. We have our hope for the homeless program, where we do homeless outreach in the streets for homeless veterans. We have a homeless shelter in the west end of Monroe County," said Mark Baylis, Valor Clinic Foundation. Plus, it provides furniture for veterans just getting back on their feet as well as counseling services. The finale of the fundraising season is this race held at Pocono Mountain West High School, and it's the setting where a season's worth of fundraising efforts is awarded. "That means a tremendous amount of COVID has constrained people's individual's ability to donate. And so our fundraising is a little bit down, and this couldn't come at a better time for us," said Baylis. If you want to learn more about the Valor Clinic Foundation, click here.

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — It's a 50th anniversary NASCAR t-shirt Timothy Nace only thought would be fitting to wear this race weekend at Pocono Raceway near Long Pond. The Tunkhannock township native says he put it on because the sport is celebrating another major milestone this year 75 years of NASCAR. It's a sport that means everything to him. "The smell the tires burning. The speed and, just like I said, it's in my blood. I love NASCAR," said Timothy Nace, Tunkhannock Township. Nace grew up a mile from Pocono Raceway, visiting the track every Summer to see the races. He says the sport not only has a ton of history but tradition within families like his. His father introduced him at an early age, "He was a NASCAR fan. He got me into NASCAR when I was like 6 years old. I followed Richard Petty and then Jeff Gordon, and now Chase Elliott and William Byron. I just love coming to Nascar and Pocono. It's Pocono baby". While NASCAR is celebrating its 75 anniversary, so is Pocono Raceway 50 years of NASCAR right on the track, and fans are looking back on how far the sport has come. "It's hard to believe how far it's come. You know, because the cars were different then, and they've progressed, and safety has gotten better, speeds kinda slowed down a little bit, but it's definitely progressed. We have a newer generation of kids," said Kristopher Phillips, Salisbury, Maryland. "It's changed a little bit, but they're still out there beating and banging, which is the fun part of watching, being a NASCAR fan. So and I just love it; it's in my blood," said Nace. Looking ahead to the next 75 years of NASCAR, Nace says he can only hope for one thing. "That people are still coming out enjoying fun with family and get the Nascar experience," added Nace. Those who attended this year believe family tradition will keep it alive for years to come.

AUSTIN, Texas — A small plane crashed into a vacant, two-story home in Georgetown on Sunday morning. According to the Georgetown Fire Department (GFD), the crash occurred just before noon in the 500 block of Northwood Dr. The plane had three occupants, all of whom were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Shannon Hayes said she was walking her dog when she saw the plane crash and called 911. "That boom, that noise that that plane was making beforehand, you knew it wasn't good," said Hayes. "Some of the neighbors ran over. Two people climbed out of the airplane onto the roof and were asking for ladders while I was on the phone with 911." KVUE obtained audio from the air traffic control tower, which suggested the crash might have been a result of an engine failure. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is beginning an investigation into what caused the crash to occur. GFD will assist in the early stages of the investigation. KVUE reached out on Sunday to NTSB for further information. KVUE also reached out to the Georgetown Fire Department. Fire Chief John Sullivan said there should be an update on Monday.

MINERSVILLE, Pa. — Vic Genovese Lives in Minersville and says with just a single phone call, his next-door neighbor is always willing to lend a helping hand, not just with his home improvement projects but with his writing projects. Genovese's main proofreader is M. Joseph Brady helping him throughout the writing process of his newest book called 'Billy We Hardly Knew Ya'. A true story based on a Minersville Area High School football player from the 1940s who Genovese says was taken from us too soon. "He ran about 15 yards with it before he got tackled right along the sidelines. And it was a very hard hit, but it was a clean hit," said Genovese. It was a hit that killed Billy Ulmer under the Friday night lights. To pay tribute to the young athlete, Genovese wanted to write a book in his honor "And bring back the memory and the ultimate sacrifice of not only him but you know the whole team was affected, the whole town was affected." Finding people who remembered Billy seemed near impossible until Genovese asked his neighbor for help; it turns out Brady was at the game and was able to give insight into it. The story takes place at the Minersville Area football field. Where M. Joseph Brady was sitting with his friends, watching his classmate Billy leave everything on the field. "I remember this distinctly, he said, 'I really want to play that game tonight,' said Brady, Former Minersville Area Superintendent. That was the last conversation Brady had with his friend Billy Ulmer and the only time he's heard complete silence at a Minersville Area football game. "We never learned that he died until later that night. We left the stadium thinking he wasn't in any danger at all," said Brady. Since graduating from Minersville Area High School, Brady came back to serve as principal and superintendent, keeping Billy Ulmer's legacy alive. "That's one of the hardest things you'll ever face; the death of a student. The book hits home all throughout as I read it," added Brady. And now that he's retired, his neighbor's book will help him return the favor by continuing to share Billy Ulmer's story.

WASHINGTON — An Alexandria auction house will have one of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's favorite collars up for sale in September. The Pegasus Collar, which was featured in a Time Magazine piece commemorating the justice after she died in 2020, will be up for sale at the Potomack Auctions during its September 20-21 auctions. The Pegasus Collar is a limited edition silver metallic bib by the company Stella & Dot. Potomack Auctions says each of Ginsburg's collars had a powerful coded message. During a 2009 C-SPAN interview, Ginsburg showed off one of her favorite collars and explained that since the standard robe is made to show a man’s shirt and tie, she and Sandra Day O’Connor decided they should include something feminine for their robes. This collar is meant to evoke power and strength due to the imagery of battle armor in its layered metal pointed feathers. The late justice wore the Pegasus Collar in the official photo of all nine justices in 2018 after Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the Court, which was her first day back at work after a fall that fractured her ribs. This is not the first piece of the late justice's collection to go up for auction at Potomack. In 2021, the auction house sold Ginsburg's modern art and memorabilia collection for more than $1 million to benefit the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center. Another of Ginsburg's collars, a gold one made of glass beads, sold at an auction in September 2022 for $176,775. A portion of the money made will be donated to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Endowed Fund for Research in Civil Rights and Gender Equality of the American Bar Foundation, an organization founded in 1952 for which Ginsburg served many years as an officer and board member.

AUSTIN, Texas — Temperatures are showing no signs of letting up anytime soon in Central Texas. Because of the high temperatures, utility bills have been high and are continuing to skyrocket as people crank up the air conditioning. But the air conditioner isn't the only factor behind the rising costs. Some people may not believe it, but washing machines and dryers are some of the biggest energy wasters in a home. Energy expert Cyndi Bray says about 10% of an energy bill goes to doing laundry, which is an astronomical number, and Bray has some tips for people to consider the next time they do their laundry. The first is in the washing machine. Most of the energy that goes to using the washing machine goes to heating the water. "So I want you to turn the temperature of the water down to cold. Don't worry that your clothes don't come out very clean because a lot of the detergent on the market these days is actually formulated to work best in cold water," said Bray. Bray said all of your clothes and sheets will last longer if you use cold water instead of hot, and less energy will be used by about 50 cents per load. The second tip is in the dryer and it's also temperature related. Instead of running the load on the high heat setting, turn it down to low. Even if you have to run the dryer for a longer period of time, plenty of energy will be saved if it isn't running on the high setting. Fabric also tends to last longer if its dried on a low heat setting. "If you can air dry your clothes or even if you have an indoor clothes rack to air, dry your clothes, that will save you a whole lot of energy. Plus, you won't be putting the heat out into your house, when you're trying to use your air conditioning," said Bray. The last tip applies to when you're doing your sheets and your bedding. Sometimes the bed sheets can twist and tangle and they fall up. "So when that happens in the washing machine, they don't come out very clean. A lot of times people will actually run the whole load again because it doesn't come out clean or it sends it off balance. Then in the dryer, they'll often ball up one sheet will wrap around everything else in the load and nothing inside dries," said Bray. Bray is the inventor of the detangling tool Wad-Free, which was featured on the ABC show "Shark Tank" in 2021.	https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/increasing-energy-bills-how-to-save/269-52e15d39-b9a2-461c-b51a-fb60cbdced4f	2023-07-24T02:32:09	1	https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/increasing-energy-bills-how-to-save/269-52e15d39-b9a2-461c-b51a-fb60cbdced4f
SAN ANTONIO — Sunday afternoon's storms may have provided a relief that was all too brief for San Antonio, but it was enough to halt the Alamo City's streak of 100-degree days after a high temperature of 98 was recorded at the airport. The city saw a stretch of 15 straight days where the mercury reached triple-digits, starting July 8 and ending with Saturday's high of 104; that prolonged swelter of a streak is tied for the second-longest in San Antonio, along with a 2013 heat wave. The city saw 21 straight days of triple-digit heat in 1962, still the all-time mark. The hottest day of our most recent streak? July 13, when the mercury reached 106 degrees. On eight of the 15 days, the high was 104 degrees or warmer--well above average temperatures for this time of year. Luxuriate in the sub-100-degree weather while you can. Bexar County remains under a Heat Advisory until Sunday night, as has been the case for the past several days, and Monday is set to start a whole new streak of triple-digit weather exacerbated by high humidity levels. It's important to hydrate often if you find yourself outside for an extended period of time in this dangerous heat. Make sure to wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothes, and check in on loved ones who don't have air conditioning.

SPICEWOOD, Texas — Central Texas has been experiencing a record number of triple-digit temperatures this summer, which means vineyards are having to harvest grapes earlier. But despite the heat, many Texas vineyards like Spicewood Vineyards are expecting one of their largest harvests. “Our average yield is usually 2 to 2.5 tons an acre, and this year it's 3.5 to 4, which is unheard of for us,” said Ron Yates, owner and president of Spicewood Vineyards. After the February 2021 ice storm damaged several buds on some of their older vines, they had to replant new ones. "February 21, the crazy polar vortex has kind of given us some issues," Yates said. "We lost some primary buds. We didn't have a lot of fruit the last two years and grape-growing." But since vines take around three years to yield fruit, this year is their comeback. “We’ve had probably our largest fruit set we've ever had in the history of the vineyard – in 30 years, the most fruit on the vine,” he said. They are projecting to pull off 50 tons of grapes from just this vineyard during harvest season. That’s 12 more tons than their highest yield. And to put that into perspective, Yates said each ton can yield about 50 to 60 cases of wine. But the heat has pushed harvesting season to come a little earlier than normal. "We'll probably have everything off by the first week of August, everything off the vines, which is about two or three weeks early for us this year," Yates said. "The heat, it's just been so intense that the ripening process happens way quicker." Yates said usually you want to stop watering grapes close to harvesting time to let them build sugar and have time to fully ripen. But since they’ve had to water closer to harvesting time because of the heat wave, the grapes are nearing the end of their time on the vine. “When it's really, really hot and the grapes are in that final stage, it can cook them from the outside and mess with the skins and do things that are not great for the grapes,” Yates said. The vineyard owner says as long as we don’t continue to see temperatures over 105, the harvest should be good. The vineyard harvested Sauvignon Blanc last week and will start with lighter red wines on Tuesday. But Yates said next year, the yield should be back to normal. “Next year we'll probably settle back down a little bit, but I'm super excited about how everything's looking even with this crazy heat,” Yates said.	https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/spicewood-vineyards-summer-harvest/269-c60fcc49-6d5d-40d2-91f3-de50fcb9d07d	2023-07-24T02:32:21	0	https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/spicewood-vineyards-summer-harvest/269-c60fcc49-6d5d-40d2-91f3-de50fcb9d07d

SNS accelerator achieves world-record 1.7-megawatt power level SNS, HFIR spur innovations used in daily life The Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory set a world record when its particle accelerator beam operating power reached 1.7 megawatts. Reaching the 1.7 megawatts of power substantially improved on the facility’s original design capability, according to an ORNL news release. The accelerator’s higher power provides more neutrons for researchers who use the facility to study and improve upon a wide range of materials for more efficient solar panels, longer–lasting batteries and stronger, lighter materials for transportation. The achievement marks a new operational milestone for neutron scattering in the United States, the release stated, and opens the door for researchers to tackle more difficult questions and problems in materials science research. “This increase in beam power represents another milestone in the Proton Power Upgrade project, an essential component in enabling new science at the SNS, including insights into advanced materials for clean energy applications,” interim ORNL Director Jeff Smith stated in the release. “I commend our staff for their efforts in accomplishing this new record.” The SNS, which was completed in 2006, provides powerful advanced scientific capabilities for thousands of researchers from around the world to study energy phenomena and materials down to the atomic scale. A megawatt is a unit of measure of the beam power of a particle accelerator. The SNS’ 1.7-megawatt power level was reached after the recent installation of additional accelerating systems, part of the ongoing Proton Power Upgrade project at the accelerator. ORNL’s Proton Power Upgrade will continue to push the particle accelerator’s beam power up to 2.8 megawatts. This will increase the number of neutrons available for experiments at the existing First Target Station to enable new discoveries and power the planned Second Target Station, a complementary third neutron source at ORNL. STS will address emerging science challenges through experiments not currently feasible nor routine, with the ability to study smaller or less-concentrated samples or those under more extreme environmental conditions. Besides SNS, ORNL is home to the High Flux Isotope Reactor. Completed in 1965 and operating at 85 megawatts, HFIR’s steady-state neutron beam is the strongest reactor-based neutron source in the United States. The SNS and HFIR facilities produce neutron beams that help spur innovations that lead to improvements in daily life, such as more powerful computers, cleaner air, more effective drugs and longer-lasting batteries.	https://www.oakridger.com/story/news/local/2023/07/23/sns-accelerator-achieves-world-record-1-7-megawatt-power-level/70446766007/	2023-07-24T02:36:57	1	https://www.oakridger.com/story/news/local/2023/07/23/sns-accelerator-achieves-world-record-1-7-megawatt-power-level/70446766007/

Wildfire Go-Kit: Residents in wildfire-prone areas are urged to have an emergency supplies kit to bring with them of they are evacuated from their homes, especially as Arizona residents are beginning to see early widespread fire activity throughout the state. An emergency supply kit should be put together long before a wildfire or another disaster occurs. Make sure to keep it easily accessible so you can take it with you when you have to evacuate. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that residents near a disaster store emergency supplies in a plastic tub, small suitcase, trash can, backpack, or other containers. Residents should make sure they have the necessities, such as three gallons of water per person and a three-day supply of ready-to-eat food, the NFPA said. A first-aid kit, prescription medications, contact lenses, and non-prescription drugs should also be taken into account. Copies of any important family documents, including insurance policies, identification, bank account records, and emergency contact numbers should also be taken and put into a waterproof, portable container in your kit, the NFPA said. The association lists other items that would help in a disaster, including: - Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person - Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio and a NOAA weather radio to receive up-to-date information - Dust mask or cotton T-shirt to filter the air - Matches in a waterproof container - Complete change of clothing including long pants, long sleeve shirts, and sturdy shoes stored in a waterproof container - Signal flare The entire NFPA checklist of supplies can be found here.	https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/wildfire/evacuation-order-issued-for-sunflower-due-to-wildfire/75-f999a190-4665-4542-946c-c3456034cb1b	2023-07-24T02:53:07	1	https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/wildfire/evacuation-order-issued-for-sunflower-due-to-wildfire/75-f999a190-4665-4542-946c-c3456034cb1b

DENVER — A Florida woman has filed a $100 million class action lawsuit against Denver-based Frontier Airlines alleging that the air passenger carrier engages in deceptive practices to make its fares seem lower than they are. The lawsuit, filed by Amira Hamad in U.S. District Court in Orlando, says Frontier is not the low-cost airline it claims to be. "FRONTIER is not a budget airline. FRONTIER does not have the lowest airfares," the complaint reads. "FRONTIER just breaks its fees into tiny little pieces and checkpoints to water down the appearance of what is actually an average airfare when combined and compared to the industry." The complaint says the airline uses "bait-and-switch" and "gotcha" tactics that are intended to "confuse, trick and trap consumers." One example given in the lawsuit is that the airline claims to offer one free personal item as long as it fits within certain dimensions, but uses a much smaller measuring instrument at the gate to determine whether the item can be carried on board at no cost. It also alleges that Frontier gives its gatekeepers bonuses for each personal item they charge at the gates. The complaint says Frontier does not make its fee structure clear to consumers at the time of purchase, especially when the tickets are purchased through third-party vendors. "FRONTIER's fees are not conspicuously shown on its website or on the websites of third-party vendors," the lawsuit says, "and consumers are often unaware of FRONTIER's large and plentiful fees until after they purchase a ticket that initially appeared attractive." The complaint says Frontier's baggage fee structure is misleading and confusing and is intended to get customers to pay "significant hidden fees." The lawsuit seeks punitive damages of $100 million "to deter Frontier and other airlines from further similar conduct." A spokesperson for Frontier said the airline does not comment on pending litigation.

Detroit Hoopfest distributes 200 pairs of sneakers to youth Detroit ― A three-day Hoopfest ended Sunday with youths cheering on their favorite team in a showdown on a northwest neighborhood basketball court that at times featured local and professional athletes, and celebrities. The event kicked off in the Northwest Goldberg neighborhood Friday at Curtis Jones Park, which features an NBA-style basketball court on the corner of Ferry and Vermont streets. The competitions began with a kids' basketball game of h-o-r-s-e with Saddiq Bey of the Atlanta Hawks. Saturday featured a men's and women's skills competition with Jaden Akins, a guard of the Michigan State Spartans. In the final celebrity game, Team Skilla Baby, consisting of rappers Skilla Baby, Sada Baby and community members, won 36-24 against Team Sheffield with rappers Snap Dogg and Baby Money, Fire Chief James Harris and Armond Rashad, director of Jabs Gym in Eastern Market. The event was hosted by NW Goldberg Cares, a community development corporation working to improve the lives of residents in the predominantly African American neighborhood. More than 200 pairs of new sneakers were given away to youths. About 500 people gathered at the park over the three days, said organizer Daniel A. Washington. "This is a long time coming to see the community come out and love one another in this way. (It) was spectacular," said Washington, executive director of NW Goldberg Cares. Residents met with their district representative and City Council President Mary Sheffield, Fire Chief James Harris, Radio personality Stewe, and recording artists Baby Money, Snap Dogg, Sada Baby, and Neisha Naeshae. "This is a park that has experienced major redevelopment and we want to bring more attention and resources to this community," Sheffield said. "We're celebrating the effort so far and the work that's still to come." A $10,000 donation from Pepsi Co. will help install a scoreboard at the court and $6,000 from Amazon will fund other park upgrades. The Detroit Pistons donated 25 personal shoes from athletes, and the Rocket Community Fund and rapper Skilla Baby donated money for the shoes that were given away. srahal@detroitnews.com	https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2023/07/23/detroit-hoopfest-distributes-200-pairs-of-sneakers-to-youth/70439757007/	2023-07-24T03:21:29	0	https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2023/07/23/detroit-hoopfest-distributes-200-pairs-of-sneakers-to-youth/70439757007/

BOISE, Idaho — Have you heard of Challenger Little League? It's a baseball league in the Treasure Valley for kids and adults with special needs and it has been around for over thirty years. "It is a division that is in little league, and it started in the valley 33 years ago," Tammy Cluff said. "But, when I went to sign my son up for the next year, they had canceled it. I said oh no! So, I took it over and it's been 32 years for me now." Parent Tammy Cluff has been running Challenger Baseball League ever since. The league plays at McDevitt Park in Boise from March through June. Saturday nights are game nights. The best night of the week. "It's for anyone that doesn't feel comfortable playing in a regular league, it's for anyone that has special needs of any kind. It starts at the age of four, and up," Cluff said. "The thing I love about Challenger, there is no competition. We don't keep score! And somehow at the end of the game everyone is tied, and it's a win for all. We have what we call Challenger buddies, other leagues come out and help the players! The parents are wonderful." Parents just like Piper Morse. Her 7-year-old son Grayson plays on a Challenger team. This is his second year. "When he was younger, and he got diagnosed I never thought he'd be able to play on a sports team. So, when I heard this was available to all kids with all abilities I signed him up right away," Morse said. Grayson has a rare disease called Krabbe leukodystrophy. "It's a neurological disease, and it takes away his ability to walk, or move his arms and legs, and to eat on his own," Morse said. "I'm trying to give him the best life possible, the best memories, keep him as happy and healthy as he can be, and he's a happy little kid. We love him so much and he inspires so many people." For Piper and Grayson, playing is a joint effort. "I hit the ball for him of course, but his eyes get really big, and everyone is cheering for him so I know that makes him feel really good," Morse said. "So, I just grab his hands and I get the bat and I hit the ball for him. I run him around the bases. I just love it." This season, there were twelve teams and over 150 players in the league. Cluff loves seeing the players and their families enjoy it so much. "Oh, it means a lot to me," Cluff said. "The players are all special to me, and I still call them my kids. I don't care if they are adults, they are still my kids." Morse says she was nervous at first, but she's so glad she signed Grayson up to play. "I was wondering, are we going to be accepted? But everyone was so nice and so welcoming. I say, if you have any hesitations, you should do it, because it's such an amazing experience no matter what ability your child has," Morse said. Cluff says any child or adult with any disability can be a part of this league. "They can do it," Cluff said. "I say just come out and try." For parents like Morse, this league means so much. She said that she is making amazing memories with her son. "Oh my gosh, I just applaud them so much for putting so much effort into this league. There are so many teams, so many abilities, so many ages, and to have this as parents, it's just so amazing, she said." The good news is, Cluff said she is not going anywhere. Challenger Little League is here to stay. "Because I love it. Some people say are you going to quit? I say no, they are going to bury me on these fields," Cluff said. This is a district wide league for the whole Treasure Valley. The season starts in April and goes through June, ending with a big family picnic! Teams are set by age and ability, and no one is turned away. Registration starts in January. They are always looking for volunteers! The fee to play is $40. To register for the 2024 season in January, e-mail Tammy Cluff at IDChallenger@aol.com or call 208-362-3072. The league also has a Facebook group that you can join.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD recovered a man from a pond on Indianapolis' west side Sunday morning. Vinecia Moore said first responders found her husband of 13 years, James Moore, in a retention pond near Hillcot Lane. "He was a good and loving man. I think that everyone has flaws and he didn't deserve to be shot and found in a pond hours later. She could have called me," Moore said. Detectives believe he's the same man involved in an altercation at a nearby home early Saturday morning. Police said he ran away leaving his car behind. Detectives weren't able to find him even after using a drone. His family also searched for him. His cousin said they followed a trail of blood leading to the pond. "We were hoping we would find him differently. We would find him somewhere wounded or taken to the hospital. But unfortunately, we were met with his demise," said Lindsey Pierre, his cousin. Moore believes there's more to the story. She said one of his children is with the woman he was visiting early Saturday before he was shot. "He has like 12 kids. How are we going to fill those shoes? 12 Kids without a father now. It's about them, not me. This could have been avoided," Moore said. Although his wife says he wasn't perfect, she's focusing on the legacy he left behind. "He cared a lot about other people. He loved all his children. He's a mentor, coach, he's very loved in the community for what he does," Moore said. As they try to navigate grief, they also hope the answers will help them heal. "Once the story develops you will see where all the evidence comes out and comes clear. It wasn't what everyone thought it was," Pierre said. "I just wish people get the help they need and stop letting emotions control their lives and hurt other people," said Moore. 13 News reached out to IMPD for an update about what happened but has not heard back.	https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/body-man-recovered-pond-indys-west-side-family-found-him-indiana/531-a436df88-6b8d-4aad-8ce2-2b0c4d344aed	2023-07-24T03:43:56	1	https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/body-man-recovered-pond-indys-west-side-family-found-him-indiana/531-a436df88-6b8d-4aad-8ce2-2b0c4d344aed
BADEN, Pa. — Several people gathered on the front lawn of Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse Sunday afternoon for a prayer service to remember the lives cut short from the recent gun violence. One by one, the names of those killed by guns were read out loud and printed on T-shirts along Route 65 in Baden. The stunning and sobering display called, “Memorial to the Lost,” represents each of the 56 lives lost to gun violence throughout Western Pennsylvania within the first six months of the year. The memorial along the busy stretch of road is meant to get everyone’s attention. “This does open your eyes,” said Paul Leone of Baden. “It gets down to flesh and blood here.” Community members from across Beaver County and neighboring counties came together in prayer and song to honor those 56 lives. Each victim was killed by gunfire from Jan. 1 to June 30. “When you look at the names and ages, the wide range; there was a 71-year-old woman and then a seven-year-old child. It touches everyone,” said Terri Leone of Baden. Terri Leone’s husband Paul agreed. “It’s heartbreak and God weeps over this,” Paul Leone said. There are two names that are not in the memorial - Dahvea Sparrow and Asaun Moreland, because the two 15-year-old boys were gunned down earlier this month after the T-shirts were made. Sparrow was shot and killed in Aliquippa on July 8. Less than a day later, Moreland was murdered in nearby Ambridge. Their names will soon be added to the memorial. “Their lives, snuffed out before they even have a chance to graduate from high school,” said Terri Leone. Sister Sarah Crotty, the community outreach coordinator for Sisters of St. Joseph, partnered with anti-gun violence organizations to bring the memorial to Beaver County. “An average of 120 Americans die every day from gun violence,” Crotty said. “It is something that can be controlled.” They’re frustrated over the senseless shootings and say it’s time for action. “When you see the T-shirts with the names, their age, the date that they died, it becomes real,” said Marilyn Mulvihill, the Western Pennsylvania representative for Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence. “If we just do this and do nothing else, it doesn’t do any good.” Many are hoping the powerful message leaves a lasting impression. “You have to ask yourself, is this nothing to you?” Paul Leone said. The memorial will be along Route 65 until August 10. It’ll then move to My Champion Life Church in Chippewa, and eventually to Mosaic Community Church in New Brighton and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Beaver County.

Diamond Fire burns in Tonto National Forest, evacuations announced for residents The Diamond Fire was burning to the southeast of Indian Spring Peak in the Tonto National Forest on Sunday evening. The fire could be seen from Highway 87 as crews worked to contain the fire throughout the weekend. Evacuations were announced by officials impacting the Sunflower area near the national forest. On Sunday, officials with Tonto National Forest said that the fire was heading away from the area of Sunflower but residents have been placed in SET mode. But later on Sunday afternoon residents in the area were placed in GO mode, meaning they need to evacuate, with officials setting up an evacuation center. Residents are currently being asked to evacuate to the: Red Cross Evacuation Center at 10424 N Fort McDowell Road: old bingo hall at We-Ko-Pa Casino. Officials also said in a tweet that various helicopters and flights have been deployed for both reconnaissance and dropping water. As of Sunday afternoon, the area burned by the fire is 100 acres, but officials expect this figure to grow once they get a better mapping of the area. Although named the same as another fire near Scottsdale earlier this month, this fire is unconnected to the Diamond Fire from early July.

ALABASTER, Ala. (WIAT) — The City of Alabaster is revising its current noise ordinance. A public hearing is set for Monday at 7 p.m. for citizens to hear the changes that will be made and a council vote. If the Alabaster City Council votes “yes” on repealing and replacing the city’s noise ordinance, residents will not be able to shoot fireworks past 1 a.m. The noise ordinance is set to prohibited loud music from residential or commercial property from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Domestic and commercial power tools for lawn work would be forbidden between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Alabaster City Council President Sophie Martin told CBS 42 the noise ordinance also prohibits muffled vehicles and excessive barking from dogs in residential areas. “Once tomorrow’s night vote is made, it will be effective immediately after certain advertising goes in place, but it is effective immediately,” Martin said. “This is an effort to where residents can continue to do activities and do what they would like in their own homes but in response also being respectful to our neighbors.” The violation for a first offense in 12 months is a $25 fine plus court cost, but you will not have to appear before a judge. Any repeat violations in 12 months will require a court appearance.	https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/city-of-alabaster-to-revise-noise-ordinance/	2023-07-24T04:18:51	0	https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/city-of-alabaster-to-revise-noise-ordinance/
Monday marks 50 years since the murder of Santos Rodriguez inside a Dallas Police patrol car. The 12-year-old’s killing sparked protests and outrage but it wasn’t until last year that a statue honoring Santos Rodriguez’s life was unveiled. On Sunday, the city of Dallas hosted a commemorative march and memorial to help keep Santos’s story, his legacy, alive. In any march, the where only makes sense when you know the why. For the Santos Vive Coalition, it means marching through present-day Uptown stopping traffic along busy high-rise lined corridors. Many of the occupants in those vehicles likely do not know the history that surrounds them; that those marching were reconnecting with what was once the heart of Dallas’ Little Mexico neighborhood and where Santos Rodriguez lived. Hadi Jawad is a writer and Dallas activist who, along with many others, works to make ensure Santos’ story is known to all. “This is a story that Dallas cannot forget,” Jawad said. “This story tells us who we are and where we have been.” Local The latest news from around North Texas. Santos Rodriguez was a 12-year-old boy in the summer of 1973 when in the early morning hours of July 24, he was taken from his home by two Dallas Police officers and placed in handcuffs. His brother David, then 13, was there too and both were placed inside a patrol car. A Dallas police officer, when questioning the boys about an 8-dollar theft from a nearby gas station vending machine, decided to play Russian roulette. The officer pointed a gun at the child’s head, pulled the trigger and killed Santos. The officer, Darrell Cain, was convicted of his death but was given the lowest possible sentence of 5 years and was released after serving less than three years in prison. Cain, who died in 2019, never apologized to Rodriguez’s family. Eddie Garcia, the first Latino police chief in Dallas, worked to rectify that during a ceremony marking the 48th anniversary of Santos’ death in 2021, apologizing to Santos’ mother on behalf of the department. Brenda Martinez-Del Rio with the city of Dallas says remembering Santos’s story in Pike Park amid all that’s changed around it in the last half century, will only continue if people know the story. “This is when we first started civically protesting and getting together and working as a community,” Martinez-Del Rio said. “We want the youth to start being civically involved.” A memorial Sunday night included a blessing at a statue for Santos, a blessing Santos’ brother David, now in his 60’s, did not attend. Daphne Rodriguez said the trauma surrounding the anniversaries of Santos’ murder still keeps her husband away from large gatherings. “But he is appreciative that everyone is still thinking about Santos, trying to keep his memory alive,” Rodriguez said.	https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/march-and-memorial-mark-50th-anniversary-of-boy-murdered-by-dallas-police-officer/3301662/	2023-07-24T04:20:45	1	https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/march-and-memorial-mark-50th-anniversary-of-boy-murdered-by-dallas-police-officer/3301662/

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) – In 2019, the American Exchange Project (AEP) was founded with the goal of helping graduating seniors throughout the United States experience a community different from their own. Now, the project has made its way to Kingsport, Tennessee with Dobyns-Bennett High School hosting their first group of students this year. On Wednesday, July 19, seven students from multiple states arrived in Kingsport for their week-long adventure throughout the city and surrounding areas. Valerie Love, the exchange manager for AEP in Kingsport, said she got involved with the program because she feels it’s a good opportunity for students to experience communities that they aren’t used to. “This is a wonderful opportunity for students just embarking in life outside of school to get to know other people and in other environments,” said Love. “Especially in a society where we hear negative messages all the time, that they get an opportunity to learn from somebody and become friends with them.” The students participated in trail maintenance at Bays Mountain, attended a planetarium show, made a stop at Pals and attended a Fun Fest concert. Each visiting student had their own favorite activity. “Going to Pals was very nice,” said Brooke Cox, a student from Riverton, Utah. “The food is very good.” “I also enjoyed Fun Fest a lot,” said Skylar Burnett, a student from Palo Alto, California. “We don’t have anything even close to that where I’m from, and it’s really cool to see like a whole community come together and put this whole thing together. “I really like the concerts just cause it’s all of us and a group,” said Connor Viney, a student from Maine. “And we’re all just enjoying it and living in the moment.” Cox said that this experience has helped her to branch out socially. “Being able to be here and kind of pushed into being with new people for a week and just learning about different things, learning about them has helped me to open up,” said Cox. Lauren Lemons, the student hosting Cox, said her favorite part of the program has been getting to meet other students with different backgrounds. “Really just meeting all these new people because like, I’ve never met somebody from Utah before,” said Lemons. “And it’s really interesting to see how similar we are, even though we come from very, very different backgrounds.” Both the visiting students and the hosts hope that this experience can teach others that people are more alike than they realize. “It doesn’t matter where they’re from, you can get along with them,” said Rhys Wilkins, a Kingsport student hosting Viney. “And I just want to take away that we have more in common than we do differently. And I wish we would be able to see each other more and understand each other.” said Ava Kline, a student from Albany, California. The visiting students, along with a few Kingsport student hosts, will continue to explore the area before returning home on Wednesday.	https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/dobyns-bennett-high-school-hosts-seven-students-through-american-exchange-project/	2023-07-24T04:28:53	0	https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/dobyns-bennett-high-school-hosts-seven-students-through-american-exchange-project/
