PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Deputies and family members are still searching for a 23-year-old who went missing more than one year ago in Southeast Portland.
Ronai “Hazel” Yetisen was reported missing by family on June 30, 2021, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said. Yetisen was last seen by family near the corner of SE Powell Boulevard and 42nd Avenue on May 24, 2021.
A flier released by WCSO describes Yetisen as being 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 105 pounds and having brown hair and brown eyes. Deputies released a photo of Yetisen but added that Yetisen may not look like that anymore.
Family members are worried about Yetisen’s mental health and think their loved one could be homeless, according to WCSO.
Deputies asked anyone with information on where Yetisen may be to call the non-emergency line at 503.629.0111. | https://www.koin.com/local/search-continues-for-23-year-old-who-went-missing-1-year-ago/ | 2022-07-06T18:23:28 | 1 | https://www.koin.com/local/search-continues-for-23-year-old-who-went-missing-1-year-ago/ |

CALIFORNIA, USA — This story was originally published by CalMatters.
After a decade of cost, schedule, technical, regulatory, personnel and legal problems, the California high speed rail project will be getting an inspector general soon as part of a deal between Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature.
The new investigative position is intended to intensify oversight and improve performance of the $105 billion railroad project. Enthusiasm for the change is high, but whether it will fix everything is uncertain, even among state leaders.
“There is nothing but problems on the project,” said Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Lakewood Democrat. “The inspector general provides oversight and some sense of what is going on with management. That has been missing for a long time.”
But will it work?
“We don’t know,” Rendon said. “We need to be vigilant. The IG will provide what we need to carry that out.”
Until now, a variety of outside agencies have advised the Legislature and the governor on the project, resulting in recommendations that often were not carried out. In some cases, they required changes that nobody had the power to make and in other cases carried too high a political price with outside interest groups.
In 2012, the Legislative Analyst’s Office recommended against an appropriation to start construction, arguing the California High-Speed Rail Authority wasn’t prepared. Gov. Jerry Brown lobbied the Legislature for it and won. Now, many agree the LAO was right. The Peer Review Group has long warned that the state needs a secure financing plan. But the project proceeds without one.
Such outside advisors have lacked the resources and the mission to intensively delve into the day to day work of the rail project, its army of consultants and its stable of international contractors.
“The IG will bring a level of oversight that we have not had before,” said Helen Kerstein, the lone bullet train expert at the Legislative Analyst’s office. “This is very powerful.”
The law creating the inspector general lists a wide range of authorities the new office will have: full access to all the project’s records; authority to review contracts and change orders; and issuing subpoenas for witnesses and records, among much else.
“It is not some person sitting in a basement,” said Laura Friedman, chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee who is widely credited with pushing through the inspector general idea. “It is going to be staffed. It is going to be real.”
That would include investigating waste, fraud and abuse, as well as working with law enforcement and prosecutors, she said.
What the position might look like
How big an organization will it require? So far, there is no budget. But the IG would be paid the same as the IG for the Bureau of Prisons and Rehabilitation, who makes $192,382 and will have a staff of 212 in the coming fiscal year.
Fred Weiderhold, a West Point civil engineer who served for 20 years as Amtrak’s inspector general, said if he were taking the California job, he would want to start with a staff of at least 50 people, half auditors, 30% investigators and 20% inspectors and evaluators.
“It is a daunting job,” Weiderhold said about the California project. “You have to follow the money. I guarantee you that on any project this large you will have fraud, product substitution and waste.”
By the time Weiderhold left as Amtrak inspector general, he had helped put several hundred people in jail and caused 2,000 people to be fired.
The high speed rail inspector general will not have authority to control actual spending, a decision that was considered and rejected by Newsom.
A more aggressive plan was followed by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority in 2015, when it faced a breakdown in Boston area service and spiraling capital cost overruns. State lawmakers fired the authority’s existing board and installed a new Fiscal and Management Control Board.
Estimated construction costs on a 4.3 mile extension of a light rail line had grown from $1 billion to $2 billion, said Joe Aiello, the board’s chair. The board stopped work, threw out existing contractors and put in an independent team to evaluate what was going wrong, he said.
“There was outrageous scope creep,” Aiello said.
By the time the board was dissolved last year, the construction cost had been hammered back down to $1 billion, he said.
State still needs actual train
Even while increasing oversight, the deal doubles down on the bullet train mission. An appropriation will release $4.2 billion from a 2008 bond fund, but only for completing a 171-mile Central Valley segment from Bakersfield to Merced.
“They need to deliver something soon that the public understands is a train,” Friedman said.
Newsom met another Assembly demand by adding $3.5 billion for transit projects in the Bay Area and Southern California, as well as $300 million to fix an Orange County Amtrak rail that is ready to fall into the Pacific.
“You can’t have enough oversight on a project like this,” Friedman said. “This is not a minor change. It will be a very big change for the project.”

ISLETON, Calif — The Moore's Riverboat was damaged on Wednesday morning after it caught fire in Isleton.
On Wednesday at around 4:45 a.m., multiple agencies including the Isleton Fire Department and the River Delta Fire District responded to reports of a commercial structure fire in Isleton.
According to the River Delta Fire District, when firefighters arrived at the scene, there were heavy flames coming through the roof of the Moore's Riverboat Restaurant. As a result of the heavy flames, crews protected nearby buildings instead of the restaurant.
The River Delta Fire District says no firefighters or residents were injured during the fire. Investigators are currently looking into the cause of the fire.

Those planning on taking an Amtrak service between New York and Philadelphia Wednesday may experience delays due to heat-related speed restrictions, Amtrak announced.
In a tweet, the transportation agency said: "SERVICE ADVISORY: Amtrak service operating between New York (NYP) and Philadelphia (PHL) may experience delays due to heat related speed restrictions. Please check back for more details or call/text 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245)."
The advisory comes on a hot and humid day that is expected to top out near 90 degrees in many tri-state area spots, including Newark which may likely get its 8th consecutive day of 90 degrees or warmer, according to Storm Team 4.
A chance of rain returns Thursday and Friday, but the weekend is looking fantastic. Another cold front sweeps through by the middle of next week, bringing more warmth and humidity, showers and storms, Storm Team 4 forecasts. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/amtrak-service-between-ny-philly-may-see-delays-due-to-heat-as-warm-weather-streak-continues/3763617/ | 2022-07-06T18:35:42 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/amtrak-service-between-ny-philly-may-see-delays-due-to-heat-as-warm-weather-streak-continues/3763617/ |
Two New York sisters in their 30s have been arrested for allegedly physically brutalizing one another as five children watched, police said Wednesday.
Police responding to a call about a domestic dispute at a Dutchtown Road home in Ulster County's Saugerties on the Fourth of July found both 33-year-old Mia and 32-year-old Lani Smith hurt, authorities said.
Both women had visible injuries to an eye as well as other injuries, though cops say Lani Smith suffered the worst.
She sustained what Saugerties police described as a "significant" right eye injury after her sister allegedly kicked her in the face and then punched her in the eye five times. It wasn't clear how severe the injury was -- whether it would partially blind or otherwise permanently limit her vision.
It also wasn't clear what sparked the battle between the sisters, but each one pointed to the other as the primary attacker. The five children witnessed the whole fight, cops said. It wasn't clear to whom they belonged. None were said to have been hurt.
The Smith sisters are each charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child and attempted assault, all misdemeanors. Lani Smith was released on her own recognizance after her arraignment. The court also issued a no harassment order of protection on her behalf against her sister, Mia Smith.
It wasn't clear as of Wednesday afternoon if Mia Smith had been arraigned, nor was attorney information for either woman immediately available. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/ny-sisters-brutalize-each-other-as-5-kids-watch-cops/3763664/ | 2022-07-06T18:35:48 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/ny-sisters-brutalize-each-other-as-5-kids-watch-cops/3763664/ |
The beloved pooch appeared in the Lincoln Journal Star and other outlets after having been lost and returned to his family after two years.
Spook, named for his stealth, went missing from Ashland in 2020. When a stranger returned the dog to Belmont Veterinary Center on June 27, Dawn VanArsdale made a post on Facebook that caught storm. She and her father were joyfully surprised to have Spook back after believing they would never see him again.
However, the 13-year-old dog was in poor health when he was found.
He was underweight, flea-bitten and suffering from seizures. VanArsdale set up a GoFundMe for his vet bills. The pup needed an MRI to pinpoint the cause of his seizures and spent several nights in medical care.
Ultimately, a scan showed Spook had a tumor on his brain. Then, a major seizure left Spook in an unrecoverable state.
Despite the outcome, VanArsdale is thankful to her community for chipping in to support Spook. She feels at peace knowing they did everything they could to help him.
"We really just want to say how grateful we are, not just for the time that we've had, but for all the love that we saw toward him," VanArsdale said. "We're glad he got to share his story."
VanArsdale used the GoFundMe donations to pay for Spook's medical expenses, but the family received more than they needed. The VanArsdales are donating the extra $1,000 or so to The Farm: Senior Dog Sanctuary in rural Nebraska.
"When I first heard of them, Spook had been missing," VanArsdale said. "I had always hoped he ended up somewhere like that."
VanArsdale surprised her father, who suffered a stroke in January and is hospitalized at Bryan East, with Spook the day after his return. She said her dad was so pleased to see the pup that it brought him to tears.
Even with the hard goodbye, VanArsdale said she is grateful they were allowed a few days with Spook before he died.
"We're grateful for every second," VanArsdale said. "I personally wouldn't change it, even if we had to go through it all again just to be able to have him a little bit more."

Steven A. Alexander was arrested Tuesday morning on suspicion of first-degree assault, manslaughter and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony in connection with the fatal stabbing of 26-year-old Austin Gress on Friday.
The 21-year-old initially told police he was confident everyone at the rural Fillmore County party was of legal age to drink. But investigators later found at least 50 attendees were under 21, according to court filings.

Spirit Airlines will get valuable takeoff and landing times that Southwest Airlines is abandoning at busy Newark Liberty International Airport near New York City.
The U.S. Transportation Department said Tuesday that Spirit “is most likely to provide the lowest fares to the most consumers” at the airport in Newark, New Jersey.
JetBlue Airways — which is locked in a bidding war with Frontier Airlines to buy Spirit — also tried to get the 16 available slots, and Alaska Airlines applied for four of them.
Southwest acquired the takeoff and landing rights at the congested airport in 2010, after the Justice Department required United Airlines to give them as a condition of buying Continental Airlines. United is still the dominant airline at Newark. Southwest dropped Newark in 2019 to consolidate its area service at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.
Federal officials limit takeoff and landing rights at big airports in New York and Washington in an attempt to avoid gridlock.
The Transportation Department said that because of concern about canceled and delayed flights, it will require Spirit to report more than the usual amount of information about any disruptions at Newark. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/spirit-wins-takeoff-and-landing-rights-at-newark-airport/3763665/ | 2022-07-06T18:35:54 | 1 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/spirit-wins-takeoff-and-landing-rights-at-newark-airport/3763665/ |

After putt-putting his way ahead of the competition in the first round, Dylan Bohlke, owner of Adventure Golf Center in Lincoln, secured a spot in the finale of ABC's miniature golf competition show "Holey Moley."
Tuesday at 7 p.m., Bohlke will appear alongside eight other finalists, all vying for the grand prize of $250,000. Viewers can watch the show on ABC or stream it on Hulu after it airs.
The hit TV show is the brainchild of Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and features commentators Rob Riggle of "The Daily Show" and Joe Tessitore of ESPN. Each episode features guests with all levels of putt-putt experience trying to be the best golfer while completing a larger-than-life obstacle course.
Bohlke's business partner, Erik Gustafson, appeared on the show in 2020 and also made it to the finals, but he did not win the grand prize.
Bohlke encouraged Lincolnites to tune in to find out whether he took home a quarter of a million dollars for his putting skills.
"It's gonna be really entertaining," Bohlke said. "I might take a hard fall or two again, like I did in my first episode."
US golf destinations with the most courses per capita
US golf destinations with the most courses per capita
Despite much of the world being shut down in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, some industries managed to not just survive but thrive. One of those that benefited the most was golf, as 2020 gave the sport a much-needed jolt to life.
Though universal shutdowns initially cratered business' bottom lines (March 2021 showed golf rounds up a staggering 45% from March 2020), golfers across the U.S. logged 14%—or 60 million—more rounds in 2020 than 2019, according to a National Golf Foundation study tracking the effects of the coronavirus on the industry. Weekday play in particular, and late-afternoon course use specifically, saw a massive jump in 2020, due in part to schedule flexibility as more people worked remotely, avoided daily commutes, and sought outdoor activities close to home. Nine-hole games also saw a marked increase, as casual golf saw a swell in popularity.
Curated used data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to compile a list of 10 golf destinations with the most courses per capita. The metros are ranked by how many golf courses and country club establishments are located in the metro per 100,000 people. To be included in this list, an establishment must primarily be in the business of running a golf course (except for miniature golf) or running a golf course in addition to dining and recreational facilities (country clubs).

There are 16 golf courses within 20 miles of St. Cloud, and all but one are open to the public, making it an incredibly golf-friendly area.

During peak season, however, it’s some of the best golf in the region. Territory Golf Club (formerly The Fairways) right in St. Cloud offers a unique layout of forest-lined and links-style holes, with challenging pin placements and elevation changes to keep things interesting. The exclusive St. Cloud Country Club's private championship course has limited membership that translates to pristine course conditions and a faster pace of play. The club, founded in 1920, was built alongside the Mississippi River and also features forested land and rolling hills. In addition to golf, members can enjoy top-of-the-line tennis and swimming facilities.

The bullets that injured two police officers at Philadelphia's July 4th fireworks show on Monday night were likely fired by a gun "quite a distance away," investigators believe.
The 40-caliber rounds that struck a city police officer and a Montgomery County sheriff's deputy, who were standing 20 feet apart at the time, came from the same gun, police Chief Inspector Frank Vanore said Wednesday.
He said the bullets could have been fired more than a mile away. Those 40-caliber bullets can travel up to 2,200 yards, depending on weather conditions and shot trajectory. The evidence currently suggests that the officers were not targeted, Vanore said.
Officer Sergio Diggs, 36, sustained a graze wound to the head and a Montgomery County sheriff's Deputy John Foster, 44, suffered a gunshot wound to the right shoulder in the shooting that erupted almost immediately at the onset of the fireworks over the Philadelphia Art Museum around 9:45 p.m. Both were treated and released from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital later that night.
On Tuesday, Philadelphia's police union offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the bizarre — and so far unexplained — gunfire.
“We were inches away from planning a funeral for at least one brave, Philadelphia Highway Patrol officer as a bullet lodged in his cap,” Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 5 President John McNesby said Tuesday while offering the reward money. “There are too many guns on our streets and far too many individuals acting recklessly with these deadly weapons."
A photo supplied to NBC10 by McNesby showed a bullet lodged in the cap of the officer grazed in the head. Inside the cap was a memorial card for a Philadelphia police chaplain who recently died.
“It is miraculous the fact that the round stopped in his hat," Philadelphia Police Department Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.
The officer grazed in the head is a 36-year-old PPD highway patrol officer and the other is a 44-year-old Montgomery County Sheriffs' deputy, the commissioner said. Both were part of the security detail for the festival, she said.
McNesby echoed Outlaw in describing how incredible it is that the bullet stopped halfway through the cop's cap.
"The Philadelphia highway patrol officer was carrying a funeral mass card in his hat honoring our recently fallen Chaplain, Father Steven Wetzel," McNesby said. "Father Steve has always supported and counseled our officers over the years and even now he’s still working miracles for our heroes."
The gunman was not immediately arrested or identified. It was unclear if the officers were targeted or if they were struck during "celebratory gunfire" amid Fourth of July festivities, Outlaw said.
“The good news is that both officers have since been treated and released, and what really could have been a chaotic scene or a catastrophic scene wasn’t today," she said.
The gunfire broke out around 9:47 p.m. near the Philadelphia Museum of Art during the finale of the 16-day Wawa Welcome America festival as throngs of people watched a fireworks show following a concert headlined by Jason Derulo on the parkway, police said.
The shots hit the officers along the 2500 block of Spring Garden Street, behind where the concert took place, Outlaw said. Various people could be seen running from the area. Police instructed people in surrounding buildings to shelter in place.
“I didn’t hear the shots, but the cops were like, ‘Run, run, run,’” one woman told NBC10.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Jim Kenney apologized for comments he made shortly after the shooting. He had said he looked forward to a time when he was no longer mayor. Several elected city officials called out Kenney's remarks as lacking leadership amid a gun violence crisis, including one city councilman who demanded Kenney resign.
"When I express that frustration and people respond to it the way they did, it’s understandable," Kenney told NBC10 in an interview. "But I’m still a human being and I have feelings and emotions and being mayor doesn’t make you a robot."
He added, "Again, I apologize for being frustrated, but I do take my job personally and I take the problems we face personally. And I apologize for wearing my emotions on my sleeve."
NBC10 had various reporters in the area covering the festival.
Reporter Leah Uko reported a "stampede" of people running toward the concert stage. Uko was interviewing a group of teens when an NBC10 cameraman captured the moments people, including various visibly distressed children, began screaming and scattering.

Fellow reporter Karen Hua reported laying in the dirt inside a tent with other people.
The shooting occurred the same day that a gunman opened fire on a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, killing six and wounding dozens more before being taken into custody.
Around 11 p.m., police officers using flashlights could be seen scouring an area from near 19th Street and the parkway up to Eakins Oval, a search that was not immediately fruitful.
Various people sought shelter at the Park Towne Place Apartments, which are just off the parkway. They asked residents to “stay calm” during police activity “on-site, throughout the community.” All towers of the complex were on lockdown "until we have further information available," the company said in an email.
Residents were later allowed back in. Police officers at the complex told an NBC10 producer that their search there ended up having nothing to do with the shooting.
The Ben Franklin Parkway remained shut down Tuesday morning as clean-up crews worked to clear items left behind.

MERRILLVILLE — The Dean and Barbara White Community Center has been busy in recent weeks, and the town hopes to build off that momentum.
Merrillville Parks Director Tarrance Price said there are a variety of events planned at the facility at 6600 Broadway.
That includes the Margaritaville Music Concert that starts at 7 p.m. Saturday at the community center. The performance features a tribute to Jimmy Buffet.
Merrillville also continues planning for its second annual job fair that runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 21 at the community center.
Representatives from dozens of businesses participated in the town’s first job fair, and Town Manager Patrick Reardon expects this year’s program to at least be on par with the previous event.
From 6 to 8 p.m. Aug. 2, Merrillville will host its National Night Out celebration at the community center.
Town Councilman Richard Hardaway, D-2nd, said each of Merrillville’s seven wards will have space designated outside of the facility to gather. He said residents can bring chairs and grills to cook out and meet with each other. A DJ will provide musical entertainment.

Town officials said the event is a good way for residents to get to know each other.
“The best way to build a safer community is to know your neighbors and surroundings,” Council President Rick Bella, D-5th, said. “National Night Out triumphs over a culture that isolate us from each other, and (the event) allows us to rediscover our own communities.”
In addition to gathering with residents, the program provides an opportunity to meet Merrillville’s first responders.
The upcoming programs follow other successful events Merrillville hosted at the community center.
That includes a Juneteenth celebration and a Harlem Legends basketball clinic and game.
Hardaway said between 800 and 1,000 people attended the Juneteenth event June 18, which featured a variety of activities and vendors.
“I thought it was a great event,” Clerk Treasurer Kelly White Gibson said.
She hopes the town can build on the success of the event and attract more visitors next year.
“It’s not just an African American event, it’s a celebration for freedom,” she said.
The Harlem Legends includes former members of the Harlem Globetrotters. The group hosted a recent clinic at the community center and a basketball game against the Merrillville All-Stars. The Harlem Legends won the game 93-74 on June 26.
Councilman Shawn Pettit, D-6th, said he’s heard many positive comments from residents and visitors attending programs and events at the community center.
“I think all the residents are extremely pleased with what’s up there at the Dean and Barbara White (Community) Center,” Pettit said.
Councilman Leonard White, D-7th, said Price has been working hard to bring the community together.
“I hope the town gets more excited and realizes that we’re trying to bring things to them and to serve the greater community also,” Price said. | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/merrillville/merrillville-community-center-busy-with-bookings/article_aec892f3-4894-51a9-b535-4826992c67d9.html | 2022-07-06T18:39:39 | 1 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/merrillville/merrillville-community-center-busy-with-bookings/article_aec892f3-4894-51a9-b535-4826992c67d9.html |
BRIDGETON — A city man was arrested for robbing a woman along the city's raceway last month, police said Wednesday.
Jesus Ascencio, 21, of Institute Place, was charged with robbery and theft. He was taken to the Cumberland County jail.
Police were called to the raceway about 11:15 a.m. June 22 after the robbery was reported. The woman, a 53-year-old city resident, told police that while she was running near the raceway she was approached by Ascencio on a mountain bike.
Ascencio approached her from behind, wrapped a T-shirt around her head and grabbed her handbag, which held items valued at $40, police said. He then pushed the woman to the ground before fleeing on his bike east on Washington Street.
The woman declined medical treatment, police said. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/bridgeton-man-charged-in-june-robbery/article_e1ed393c-fd29-11ec-87bf-9f2d33787240.html | 2022-07-06T18:39:51 | 0 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/bridgeton-man-charged-in-june-robbery/article_e1ed393c-fd29-11ec-87bf-9f2d33787240.html |

TEXAS, USA — There's a creepy trend happening along the beaches of south Texas.
While we know many items can wash up on shore, these strange dolls are really turning heads.
The director of the Mission Aransas Reserve says they've spotted dozens of dolls --- some beachgoers even collect them. But, that's not even all... there's a Facebook watch page that sells them.
Recently, the trend caught the eye of HBO's John Oliver who offered up his own solution for what he calls the demon dolls.
"Burn them, burn them now. I hate these dolls i hate them so much," Oliver said. He even did an entire segment on these dolls.
Organizers along the beach actually sell them to raise money for the "amos" rehabilitation keep.
If you're feeling brave and adventurous and just want to see it for yourself, you can pay a visit to the coast. Who knows, you might just spot one to take home. | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/local/burn-them-now-very-creepy-dolls-washing-up-on-texas-beaches-strange-news/273-487c41eb-7f3a-4f1d-b684-e6726b1e6e54 | 2022-07-06T18:39:59 | 0 | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/local/burn-them-now-very-creepy-dolls-washing-up-on-texas-beaches-strange-news/273-487c41eb-7f3a-4f1d-b684-e6726b1e6e54 |
Holy Spirit High School had the fastest girls crew eight-boat in the area this spring.
There was nothing unusual about that considering the Spartans’ history, but this year’s leading crew wasn’t a varsity eight.
The Holy Spirit girls junior eight finished third in the Stotesbury Cup Regatta and was fourth in the Scholastic Rowing Association of America Regatta, which is commonly called the Nationals. The crew, which had five sophomores, was the area’s fastest girls eight.
The youthful Spartans team also had the area’s top freshman eight. The team’s only senior, Megan Baldwin, was South Jersey’s best sculler and fifth at nationals in the girls varsity single category.
Only varsity-eight power Moorestown outranks Spirit in The Press Elite 11.
For the second year in a row, Holy Spirit is The Press Girls Crew Team of the Year.
“It was a lot of work, not just for the kids but for the coaches too,” girls coach Joe Welsh said. “They’re great kids. I’m proud of the whole team."

A junior eight must have all non-seniors.
Olivia Bencze and coxswain Sara Lavigna were sophomores in Holy Spirit’s 2021 varsity four, which led the Spartans to be the Team of the Year. Bencze and Lavigna joined the junior eight this spring.
The junior eight consisted of stroke Chloe Cooke, Bencze, Taya Anderson, Peyton Ballard, Allison Lee, Eve Amalfitano, Caroline Spina, bow Melissa Ledwold and coxswain Lavigna. Makayla Cappuccio rowed on the crew at Nationals, the final regatta.
The Spartans also were second at the Garden State Regatta (commonly called States), easily won at the Atlantic County High School Rowing Championships, and placed third at the Philadelphia City Championships.
“We only had one senior, so we rowed (the team’s top eight) as a junior eight,” Welsh said. “Their times were back a little bit from the varsity eights in Philly, so the junior eight was the place to go. They were a great group of kids and good athletes.”
Bencze said the season was fun and that it gave the junior eight a sense of accomplishment.
“We put in so much hard work and it paid off,” said Bencze, a 17-year-old rising senior and Absecon resident. “We really got along well. There was great energy in the boat, and it was all good times. I enjoyed being in the four last year but I was happy go from the four to an eight. You’re with all the people, so it was fun. We were a close-knit group. That helped us to push each other and perform at our best.
The Holy Spirit girls junior eight, freshman eight and girls single (Baldwin) were all winners at the Atlantic County High School Rowing Championships on May 15 at Lake Lenape. The Spartans’ team scoring combined with the successful Holy Spirit boys team's points to give Spirit the overall championship at the event.
Baldwin was second in the varsity singles division in a field of three at States. Following her win at the Atlantic County event, she was second in a field of eight at the Philadelphia City Championships before her fifth place finish at Nationals.
“Megan did a great job this year,” Welsh said. “She was in the top 10 in her class, and she’s going to go to Stockton (University) next year, and she’ll row for them as well. She’s going to study oceanography, and Stockton is one of the top-rated schools in that field. She’s a great kid and she did really well.”
Baldwin, a Brigantine resident, thought this was the team’s best season of her three (2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
“The team did really great,” said Baldwin, 18. “I like sculling (rowing with two oars in a smaller boat, with no coxswain). I like rowing with people but I’m self-motivated and I enjoyed rowing the single. I have a lot of support from my teammates, and they cheered me on.”
The Spartans' freshman eight was third at States, finished fifth in its category out of 30 crews at the Stotesbury Cup and was fourth at the City Championships. The crew included Gwen Amalfitano, Alexandra Solari, Ava Buccafurni, Anika Patel, Ella Bencze, Abby D’Arcangelo, Isabella Scheper, Juliana Gorka and coxswain Gia Rynkiewicz
“We had only 11 freshmen this year, and the kids jelled and did real well,” Welsh said. “Chuck Brennan (an assistant coach) did a great job with them, and he’s a likeable guy. The kids all like him and rally around him. They had a really good group this year.”
Coach of the Year
Welsh wins the honor for having a successful year with a young team. Holy Spirit had a small team, but its three top boats made the finals at nearly every championship regatta.
“That’s nice, thank you,” said Welsh when told the news of his award. “It’s like any coach, you have to have the people who are willing to work for you. The girls love to be at the boathouse (in Brigantine) working out. It’s a blessing.
“Chuck Brennan was my main assistant, and Erin Welsh (Joe's daughter). The kids had a nice, common goal and they loved to compete. They were a nice competitive group.” | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/sports/local/highschool/holy-spirit-girls-junior-eight-leads-spartans-to-team-of-the-year/article_e6afa1a8-fcb6-11ec-9aef-2b8485116fb5.html | 2022-07-06T18:40:03 | 1 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/sports/local/highschool/holy-spirit-girls-junior-eight-leads-spartans-to-team-of-the-year/article_e6afa1a8-fcb6-11ec-9aef-2b8485116fb5.html |

SAN JUAN COUNTY, Wash. - A proposal to rename a channel in San Juan Islands after one of the first Indigenous elected officials in Washington state was approved by a state board.
The Washington State Board of Natural Resources approved four naming proposals Tuesday, including renaming Harney Channel between Shaw and Orcas islands after Henry Cayou.
The proposed name, Cayou Channel, would honor Indigenous longtime businessman and local politician, Henry Cayou.
Cayou lived his whole life in the San Juan Islands until his death in 1959. He was a successful commercial fisherman and was one of the first Indigenous elected officials in Washington state, according to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Cayou served for 29 years as the San Juan Island County commissioner.
Harney Channel was named after notorious American General William Selby Harney in the 1800s. Harney led the U.S. Army’s Department of Oregon from 1858 to 1860 and has a storied history of killing indigenous people throughout the midwest and western territories, and narrowly avoided war with Great Britain, which led to the occupation of the San Juan Islands, according to the Oregon Historical Society.
The Washington State Board of Natural Resources said the naming of Cayou Channel is the result of a "substantial community organizing effort" from San Juan County residents.
The proposal was first submitted in early 2021 and has cleared all state hurdles.
The approved name proposal will be added to the Washington Administrative Code, and the Washington State Board of Natural Resources will pass the proposal along to the United States Board on Geographic Names for federal review. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/state-appove-proposal-rename-san-juan-islands-channel-indigenous-leader/281-b0fa47b5-c3f7-4e50-9dfd-c6aa1f4e1e7f | 2022-07-06T18:40:04 | 1 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/state-appove-proposal-rename-san-juan-islands-channel-indigenous-leader/281-b0fa47b5-c3f7-4e50-9dfd-c6aa1f4e1e7f |

BLOOMINGTON — A Bloomington man is charged with possessing a stolen motorcycle.
A McLean County grand jury indicted Richard L. Kletz, 32, with possession of a stolen motor vehicle (Class 2 felony) and an essential part of a vehicle (Class 2 felony) and burglary (Class 2 felony).
Court documents said Kletz knowingly possessed a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and a part that he knew was stolen or converted on or about June 15 and through June 17.
A check of McLean County Jail records Tuesday showed that he remained held in custody with bail set at $100,00, requiring him to post a bond of $10,000 to be released.
Kletz was also ordered to have no contact with the motorcycle owner, the owner's family and an address on the west side of Bloomington.
An arraignment is scheduled for July 29.

Officials believe the firework exploded from the bottom of the tube, instantly piercing the top portion of the victim’s head.
Police reported that witnesses told them that Ruiz had been drinking at the time of the incident.
Ruiz died at the scene from severe head trauma from the explosion.

Originally published July 5 on IdahoCapitalSun.com.
McKay Cunningham began the Redline Project after looking at an interactive map.
The map showed all the cities where the federal government participated in redlining, a practice following the Great Depression that ensured residential segregation would be kept in place in cities and counties throughout the United States. The College of Idaho professor, who also serves as the director of on-campus experiential learning, noticed that the Idaho portion of the map was blank.
That encouraged him to start a research project with C of I students investigating discriminatory housing practices in Idaho, a project that would eventually lead to a change in Idaho law through state Sen. Melissa Wintrow’s Senate Bill 1240. The law went into effect July 1.
In their research, the students discovered and mapped over 50 subdivisions in Ada County containing thousands of properties with discriminatory race covenants attached to them.
Racial housing discrimination in Idaho in the 20th century
To stabilize the national economy after the Great Depression, policy makers focused on increasing home ownership by financially backing mortgages for families to build subdivisions. During this process, policy makers created color-coded lines separating and classifying red subdivisions as “risky” investments. The people living in subdivisions mapped with red lines were primarily people of color.
With neither the government nor banks offering housing loans to residents living in the red subdivisions, the U.S. government contributed to decades of systemically excluding people of color from becoming homeowners.
In addition to redlining, private landowners and developers used race covenants, which are agreements and restrictions set between the buyer and seller of a property, to prohibit all non-whites from residing within a given subdivision.
Senelile Dlamini, one of the student researchers for the project and a senior at the College of Idaho, said that the main reason that a racial wealth gap exists is because redlining and racial covenants excluded people of color from becoming homeowners since homeownership is one of the main ways that families can pass on their wealth to future generations.
According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, the net worth of a typical white family is $188,200. This is about eight times greater than that of a Black family at $24,100 and more than five times greater than that of a Latinx family at $36,100.
In their research, the students hope to show Idahoans how discriminatory housing practices in the past have taken a generational toll on racial and ethnic minorities and their families’ ability to accumulate wealth.
Idaho’s Senate Bill 1240
The Redline Project played a critical role in helping pass Senate Bill 1240.
In March, the Idaho Legislature unanimously passed a bill allowing Idaho homeowners to bring in their home deeds to their county clerk’s office and void its race covenants. Some counties in Idaho have a virtual option on their website to void the language in their property titles.
The Intermountain Fair Housing Council put Cunningham and his team in touch with Wintrow, who was already working to address the issue after one of her constituents noticed the racially restrictive language in the deed of their home.
“His students have been amazing to work with,” Wintrow said. “He and his students have been mapping the state to see where these covenants are located.”
After working with legal experts, realtors and Cunningham’s research team, Wintrow sponsored Senate Bill 1240. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Brad Little during a ceremony in March.
With Idaho’s new fiscal year starting on July 1, the new law makes it easier for homeowners to remove racially restrictive language from the title of their property — a historical relic that remained untouched since the early practices of racial housing discrimination.
If it’s already outlawed by the Fair Housing Act, is there a problem?
In 1968, the Fair Housing Act outlawed housing discrimination based on race. However, race covenants continue to linger within the deeds of Ada County homes.
Why did legislators create a law when race discrimination is already outlawed? One of the reasons is to educate Idahoans on the impact that systemic racism has had on generations of people of color, Cunningham said.
Unlike their white counterparts, people of color did not have the financial support from the federal government to buy a home or choose where to live.
Dler Awsman, a senior who took part in the research project, said that race covenants left a legacy of classifying people of color into an inferior status.
“The racial covenants state that people who are not Caucasian cannot live here, except if they are the domestic servants of white people. This shows the logic that built the history of Boise, that its people of color were only worthy when serving white people,” Awsman said.
Joseph Howell, a junior and student research collaborator, said discriminatory housing policies contribute to modern day racial stigmas.
“If your neighborhood looks nice because you get access to mortgages and banks willing to invest in your neighborhood, but then you see rundown neighborhoods where people of color live, then the idea that gets in your head might be, ‘Oh these people must be lazy, bad business people or criminals,’” Howell said. “These housing policies drove racist thinking.”
The exclusionary nature of housing
Rachel Miller, a history professor at the College of Idaho and research adviser for the project, said that the research starts a conversation about the exclusionary nature of property values.
“Property is the safest place to put your money, and yet it is fundamentally always exclusionary,” Miller said. “Whether it has a race restriction, trailer restrictions or restrictions on accessory dwelling units, these rules are designed to protect property values. They are not rules to make living egalitarian or equitable.”
Miller said that she hopes this research will help Idahoans understand how homes and properties get their value through exclusionary policies.
“This research makes us question the way homes get their value,” she said. “We need a communal reimagining of what kind of place we want to live in and how we want housing to work.”
While the research focused on racial covenants in Ada County subdivisions, Miller said that the race covenants are not the only historic effort policy makers took to exclude residents. She adds that the removal of Native people and the demolition of Chinatown in Ada County also show how policy makers envisioned a city without them.
“This project reminds us of a powerful vision of what Ada County was supposed to look like, a prosperous, new and modern Boise full of beautiful homes and neighborhoods full of white people,” Miller said.
Contradicting the unanimous bill that used critical race theory
Weeks after Senate Bill 1240 unanimously passed, the Idaho Legislature moved to pass a bill denouncing the use of critical race theory in schools.
“Part of me wonders whether this work could have been done at a public university in light of the critical race theory debate,” Cunningham said. “I think what we are doing is what a lot of legislators don’t want. That is, to study and evaluate racist policies of our past and how they impact us today.”
Wintrow said that despite the debate in the Idaho Legislature concerning the use of critical race theory in schools, this unanimous bill exemplifies how critical race theory played an important role in identifying racist housing policies in Idaho.
“This is an essential piece of legislation to acknowledge that our federal and state government and private businesses legally incorporated racist practices that denied people of color access to the American dream,” Wintrow said. “It doesn’t erase or fix the loss of wealth for those people, but going forward it says it existed, it was real, and the government was a part of it. Moving forward, we denounce it.”
Wintrow said that extremists in the state and country misuse the word critical race theory to strike a nerve in middle class America.
“The extremists are misusing the term critical race theory for their own purpose to instill fear without making the world a better place, but we are smarter than that and we are better neighbors than that,” Wintrow said. “I ask Idahoans to understand the fabrications of misinformers who are trying to waive hate in our state and education.” | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/acknowledging-boise-s-past-student-research-helped-create-law-to-allow-removal-of-race-covenants/article_0d7649af-3542-5d4b-8a03-5fff19b1ea70.html | 2022-07-06T19:11:06 | 0 | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/acknowledging-boise-s-past-student-research-helped-create-law-to-allow-removal-of-race-covenants/article_0d7649af-3542-5d4b-8a03-5fff19b1ea70.html |

Family and friends of a Treasure Valley woman are turning to the community for support after she was struck in a hit-and-run incident.
The Nampa Police Department said at about 12:48 a.m. Friday, officers responded to a report of a woman injured near the Rollerdrome on 10th Avenue South. Officers found the woman with “obvious life-threatening injuries.”
Natalia “Talia” Elerick was the woman struck by the vehicle, according to her friends and family.
Nampa PD said Trevor Stebbins, 32, is in jail on suspicion of felony aggravated assault and hit-and-run charges. Stebbins was arrested at a home on South Banner.
While Stebbins remains in jail, Elerick is still in the hospital where she has had “life-altering surgeries” over the last several days.
“I was bawling my eyes out because every time this girl is starting to get things good in her life and every time she’s getting something good going, something happens,” Elerick’s friend, Melissa Heinecke, said.
Doctors had to amputate one of Elerick’s legs. Her family said one of her arms and her other leg is also severely broken, and there is a chance she may lose the other leg too.
“It’s kind of heartbreaking, just because she’s done a lot by herself,” said Enrique Pedroza, one of Elerick’s brothers. “I feel like the only way she’s been able to get to where she’s at right now is because she’s worked and fought tooth and nail for everything she’s had.”
People around Elerick describe her as an upbeat and strong person, but right now, they are seeing the opposite.
“She’s really freaked out. She doesn’t know how to handle this,” said Chris Pedroza, another one of Elerick’s brothers. “Right now she’s hurting really bad.”
“She feels helpless and hopeless right now. I can tell you that she feels like she’s going to lose everything in her life,” Heinecke said.
Her friends and family are coming together to make sure that doesn’t happen.
“We know that she’s going to incur a lot of medical costs,” Heinecke said. “She needs to find a new home because where she was staying is not safe for her now.”
They also worry about Elerick’s three young kids, who also face uncertainty because of what happened to their mother.
“She can’t work for them you know. She was working every day. So she can’t work anymore,” Heinecke said.
Friends and family are asking the community for monetary donations and other items as they try to help her figure out her new life.
“What she needs right now is the absolute most support that she can get,” said Stacy Marchetti, a member of Elerick’s family.
“We’re happy that she’s alive. She’s made it this far, and I’m just gonna keep praying for the best,” Pedroza said.
Friends have set up a GoFundMe and a Venmo account called ‘TaliaAndFam’ to help pay for Elerick’s bills and medical costs. They are asking everyone to donate whatever they can. They say even $1 can make a difference.
They are also looking for people to help donate pull-ups, baby wipes, clothes and food for Elerick’s children. People can drop off items in a red truck bed at 411 1st Ave. N Apt.101 in Nampa.
For more information on how to donate items contact Heinecke at 208-831-0778 or Katie Bayliss at 208-350-3231.

Knox County deputy in intensive care after being inadvertently shot by fellow deputy
A Knox County Sheriff's Office deputy inadvertently shot another deputy Tuesday as he tried to "subdue" a pit bull, according to a sheriff's office spokesperson.
Deputy Jordan Hurst fired the shot that struck Deputy Lydia Driver in the left leg, according the sheriff's office. Driver is in intensive care at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, where she underwent emergency surgery.
Several deputies had responded to a call in the 8200 block of Brickyard Road just before 11 p.m.
Hurst has been suspended with pay, which is standard procedure when a deputy shoots someone, a spokesperson said.
Hurst is an eight-year veteran of the department. He was the first deputy to arrive at the Pilot Travel Center on Strawberry Plains Pike on April 7, 2020, after truck driver Idris Abdus-Salaam stabbed four women, killing three. Hurst reportedly shouted at Abdus-Salaam to stop and drop the knife eight separate times before firing five rounds from close range.
Driver was hired by the department in 2015 and served previously in the jail records unit. She graduated from the police academy in May.
The pit bull was taken from the scene by Animal Control and is at the Young-Williams Animal Center, according to the press release.

Why Knox News is suing Knoxville for public records about the police chief hiring process
Knox News filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Knoxville seeking to reveal the secretive process Mayor Indya Kincannon used to screen police chief candidates.
The city hired the private national search firm Police Executive Research Forum to help Kincannon, who has final authority over top executive hires, identify and screen candidates for police chief. Kincannon announced the hire April 28 of New Orleans Police Deputy Superintendent Paul Noel, who stepped into Knoxville's top spot on June 13.
The city maintains that by hiring an outside company to conduct public business, it is shielded from state open records laws, a position roundly rejected by Knox News. The city also purposefully did not create documents, such as copies of resumes, so that it could hide them from public view.
"The city is intentionally and knowingly trying to hide public business from voters and taxpayers, and we're willing to fight to obtain records that legally are public documents," said Joel Christopher, Knox News executive editor.
"Our issue is not at all with the hiring of Paul Noel. It is with a secretive process that insults the concept of conducting the people's business with transparency."

- Provide a list of the names of the people who applied for the Knoxville police chief position
- Provide the age, ethnicity and gender of each of the applicants for the Knoxville police chief position
- Provide the resumes of the applicants for the Knoxville police chief position
- Provide a schedule of all Police Chief Advisory Committee meetings
- Provide any/all Police Chief Advisory Committee meeting agendas, minutes and other documents created by/for the committee
- Provide permission to sit in on upcoming Police Chief Advisory Committee meetings
“Applications were submitted to the Police Executive Research Forum and not to any city employee, so there is no city record that lists the names of applicants or provides a breakdown of applicants' ages, ethnicity or gender,” spokesperson Eric Vreeland wrote in an email denying records to Knox News in March.
The three requests dealing with the advisory committee were denied, spokesperson Kristin Farley said, because committee members were never in possession of documents. The finalists were interviewed through a teleconference conducted by Zoom and their resumes were shown in the online call instead of on paper copies created by the city.
"Access to these records has been continuously, deliberately and systematically denied by the (city)," says the lawsuit filed in Knox County Chancery Court.

A city spokesperson declined to comment for this story, saying the city does not comment on ongoing litigation.
Chief Eve Thomas announced last fall she would retire in the spring. The department has been buffeted in recent years by multiple complaints from within the ranks of racist and sexist harassment, and the city's skyrocketing homicide numbers.
In the past three years, there have been nine resignations or retirements amid scandal at KPD, plus another officer who retired because of retaliation he underwent for whistle-blowing.
"It's critically important to know who is under consideration during a hiring process as important as this," Christopher said. "Many major cities across America conduct fully open hiring processes, and end up both with taxpayers who feel empowered as well as top-notch candidates." | https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/06/knox-news-suing-knoxville-public-records-police-chief-hiring-process/7396194001/ | 2022-07-06T19:11:28 | 0 | https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/06/knox-news-suing-knoxville-public-records-police-chief-hiring-process/7396194001/ |
YORK, Pa. — The York County Regional Police announced Wednesday that they are in the process of creating a Mounted Unit for additional safety during planed events, protests, and crowd formations.
According to a statement put out by police, one horse and rider can do the work of several foot patrol officers while also allowing the mounted officer a visual height advantage over the crowd.
The new unit will hopefully allow a faster response time and a provide a safer environment for group events.
In addition, York Police would like to incorporate the public with this new unit. Stable visitations are planned for the public to meet the horses and officers.
Donations and support from the public are greatly appreciated. Those interested in donating or finding out more information are encouraged to visit the York County Regional Police website. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/york-county-police-mounted-unit-horses-safety-pennsylvania/521-f4d48d41-480e-4e08-947e-285fba62f6ec | 2022-07-06T19:11:54 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/york-county-police-mounted-unit-horses-safety-pennsylvania/521-f4d48d41-480e-4e08-947e-285fba62f6ec |
KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) – Following nearby sightings on the premise and in the nearby area, Bays Mountain Park & Planetarium is reminding Kingsport residents to practice safety in the event they run across a bear.
Park officials say the best way to coexist with bears is to stay away from them.
“Leave them alone and don’t feed them,” Megan Krager, manager of Bays Mountain Park, said in a release. “The only reason they’re coming into our area is because they can smell the tasty treats we have around our homes.”
According to the release, it is not uncommon for Kingsport residents to see a black bear wandering through the city due to the park’s nearby presence. Neighborhoods specifically mentioned by park officials include Ridgefields, Sullivan Gardens and Meadowview.
Recently, park officials said bears were seen in the areas of Lynn Garden and Brookside Drive.
“We are getting calls of bears popping up in the neighborhoods and we’re also getting reports of bear sightings throughout the park,” Krager said. “We even saw a juvenile bear in the parking lot of the park, which is a first for me.”
A possible explanation for the increased bear sightings is the harsh freeze that occurred in May, the release states. As a result of the abnormal cold, some of the vegetation the bears would typically feed on died, and the bears are now ranging into city limits looking for food.
The release states that neither the city, Petworks Animal Services nor the Kingsport Police Department responds to manage bears. Residents are encouraged to simply leave the bears alone and take precautions to keep from attracting them. Additionally, residents are specifically warned to make sure they do not find themselves between a mother bear and her cubs.
The park offered the following tips:
– Leave them alone and give them plenty of space.
– The best way to scare off a bear is to make noise by banging on something or yelling.
– If you have a compost pile, pour some lime or wood ash on it. It helps contain the odors.
– Keep your trash cans locked in a garage or other building during the night.
– Pour a small amount of ammonia in the bottom of your garbage cans. The smell will help drive away bears and other animals.
– Bird feeders and pet food should be brought inside at night and outdoor grills should be stored inside a garage.
– Try and locate gardens, orchards, pet kennels and bee hives a safe distance from your house. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/bays-mountain-shares-bear-safety-tips-after-sightings-within-kingsport/ | 2022-07-06T19:15:27 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/bays-mountain-shares-bear-safety-tips-after-sightings-within-kingsport/ |
UNICOI COUNTY, (WJHL) – A driver suffered a medical emergency in Unicoi County Tuesday morning, causing a crash and ultimately leading to the driver’s death.
According to a report from the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), a Nissan Versa was heading west on Highway 10 near the Unicoi Waste Convenience Center around 11:38 a.m. The driver, identified as Carroll Smith, 88, reportedly “suffered a medical emergency and pulled into the path” of a second vehicle.
Smith, of Unicoi, was transported to the Unicoi County Hospital for treatment of the emergency suffered prior to the crash. Smith was pronounced dead at the hospital, the THP reports.
The driver of the second vehicle was not injured. No charges are pending in relation to the crash, as of Wednesday. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/thp-drivers-fatal-medical-emergency-led-to-unicoi-co-crash/ | 2022-07-06T19:15:33 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/thp-drivers-fatal-medical-emergency-led-to-unicoi-co-crash/ |
Ohio is rolling out a new system for quickly entering warrants and protective orders into state and national databases by courts and law enforcement. It’s free to counties, but not mandatory, so Gov. Mike DeWine and other state officials are asking local governments to sign on voluntarily.
DeWine, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted and officials from Meigs County announced the availability of the eWarrants system at a Wednesday news conference in Columbus. Meigs, a rural county of about 22,000 on Ohio’s southeastern edge, was the first to adopt eWarrants.
Before this, court staff and law enforcement hand-carried paper copies of warrants to various offices, and those warrants were manually typed into databases: Ohio’s Law Enforcement Automated Data System, or LEADS, and the National Crime Information Center, or NCIC, said Judge Linda Warner from the Meigs County Court of Common Pleas. But that was a slow process, and paper could be misplaced, she said.
The county was interested in a system similar to eWarrants but couldn’t afford it, so it eagerly volunteered when state officials said this was available, Warner said.
“It’s been fantastic,” she said.
The eWarrants system cut processing time for warrants and protective orders from days or weeks to just hours, said Sammi Mugrage, Meigs County clerk of courts.
“I encourage other clerks to just jump in,” she said.
DeWine said eWarrants has increased Meigs County’s processing speed fivefold. Now Champaign County is using it too, he said.
“We hope to see this spread,” DeWine said.
In 2019, DeWine said, he created a task force to study how warrants were served. There was a backlog of unserved warrants, but the task force also found “tens of thousands of other warrants and protective orders” that had never been entered in state or federal databases. Many agencies were still processing everything on paper, so they couldn’t even keep up with newly issued warrants, he said.
“The fact is that Ohio law does not currently require warrants and protective orders to be entered in the federal background system,” DeWine said.
He said the situation has improved. In March 2019, only 18,000 Ohio warrants were in the NCIC database. Now there are 220,000.
DeWine said there is proposed legislation to require at least warrants for “Tier 1 crimes” — the most serious — to be entered in state and federal databases, but the General Assembly hasn’t taken it up.
Husted, director of InnovateOhio, said that organization collaborated with other state departments on the eWarrants program. The contractor on the $4.7 million project is LexisNexis. That cost includes training for local personnel and integrating eWarrants with existing systems, Husted said.
“It is free and easy for our friends in local governments to use. It is state-funded and locally-operated,” he said.
Warner said the staff training in Meigs County was easy and offered at flexible times. It took no more than 30 minutes to learn, she said.
But there are 19 vendors supplying warrant-entry services to Ohio’s 88 counties, so integrating eWarrants with those varying systems will be difficult, DeWine said.
“That is really slowing us up,” he said.
Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood said the increased speed will make for better background checks, safer traffic stops and more secure gun sales. He urged agencies across the state to sign on.
“The other counties, the other 87 – wake up, get involved. We need you,” Wood said.
Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser hailed the new system and praised DeWine for promoting it.
“Time is usually of the essence” when doing background checks, Gmoser said. “When things get behind, some people get hurt.”
Paper-based manual entry to law enforcement databases is not only too slow in alerting police of new warrants or protective orders, but can leave rescinded orders or withdrawn warrants in the system, he said.
“We usually don’t hear about it until it’s too late,” Gmoser said. “We hear about it when somebody’s under arrest somewhere.”
People may lose their jobs or miss important appointments while sitting in jail on warrants that are no longer valid, he said. The eWarrants system makes that far less likely, Gmoser said.
“I don’t see a downside to it,” he said.
Asked if he would push legislators to require background checks on all gun sales, DeWine demurred.
“I think you’d better talk to the legislature about that,” he said.
But moments later DeWine did call on legislators to pass the long-stalled package of police reforms, in the context of the Jayland Walker case. Akron police killed Walker June 27 as the unarmed 25-year-old Black man fled them on foot. Police allege they’d been shot at from Walker’s vehicle, and that a gun was found inside it. Walker was unarmed when police fired about 90 shots, hitting him about 60 times.
DeWine said the police reform bill he has supported includes greater accountability for officers, treating law enforcement like other licensed professions, and creating an oversight body with a database of all officers and their records.
“This police reform was worked on by community leaders across the state, it w as worked on by the FOP,” he said, calling it “long past due.”

TEMPLE, Texas — The families of two girls, 8 and 9, are filing wrongful death lawsuits against the social media giant "TikTok" after they both died from trying to participate in a challenge, according to the lawsuit.
One of the girls, Lalani Erika Walton, 8, was from Temple and the other girl, Arriani Jaileen Arroyo, 9, was from Milwaukee.
The lawsuits, which were filed in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles, both allege that both girls died from self-strangulation after they tried to partake in the TikTok challenge, "Blackout Challenge," which reportedly encourages its users to choke themselves with items like belts, ropes and purse strings until they pass out.
The lawsuit highlights TikTok's algorithm saying it "intentionally and repeatedly" displayed the "Blackout Challenge" onto both girls' "For You Page... incentivizing them to participate in the challenge that ultimately took their lives."
“TikTok needs to be held accountable for pushing deadly content to these two young girls,” said attorney Matthew P. Bergman in a news release. “TikTok has invested billions of dollars to intentionally design products that push dangerous content that it knows are dangerous and can result in the deaths of its users.”
6 News attempted to contact Bergman but did not get a response.
Walton died on July 15, 2021, according to the lawsuit. Prior to her death, Walton returned home from a roadtrip with her stepmother and was told to clean her room before they went to the pool. Her stepmother woke up from an hour nap and found Walton's door closed. When she opened it, she found Walton's body, got help from a neighbor to get her down and called police.
Authorities determined she died from self-asphyxiation "as a direct result of attempting TikTok's 'Blackout Challenge,' the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit also says her death wasn't intentional because the girl "had laid out her bathing suit in anticipation of going swimming."
Arroyo died in a similar fashion on Feb. 26, just a few months before Walton, the lawsuit says.
6 News reached out to TikTok for a response. We are waiting to hear back.

The Coos Bay City Council threw its support behind a proposal to exempt some property taxes for 10 years in an effort to bring new multi-unit housing complexes to the city.
While the city council did not vote on the issue, it did support the proposal, which would waive property taxes on improvements to property if the property is built with four units or more. The council also decided to keep the program out of the Urban Renewal Agency districts since the districts are designed to help developers in different ways.
City Manager Rodger Craddock told the council supporting the multiple unit property taxes exemption program is another way the council can urge the development of more housing.
"Basically, a MUPTE program allows for a 10-year property tax exemption, whether it be just the city or the overall unit of taxing district for qualifying developments," Craddock said. "Those qualifying developments are generally new developments that are three units or more. Or it's an existing building that is completely redeveloped for a new use."
Craddock said five cities in Oregon have similar programs, with programs in Cottage Grove and Florence the most successful.
"In looking at those, staff chose Cottage Grove because it has the least amount of barriers," Craddock said. "The fewer the barriers the lower cost to developers."
Craddock said one advantage of multi-unit housing is the housing is usually built as rentals. He said Coos Bay currently has a severe lack of rental units, saying 26% of those who rent homes pay more than 50% of their income for rent.
To qualify, a new development must be near public transportation, but Craddock said the city could alter its transportation route if needed to support a new development.
"It must also include at least one element that is considered benefitting to the public," Craddock said. "There's a whole list of those. Some of those include extra public space, amenities for public transit, maybe it's a care facilities. It also includes fixing up a blighted property or building. This really is more user friendly."
Craddock said he met with the city manager of Cottage Grove, who reported Cottage Grove now has an excess of 100 rental units. Before the program, not a single multi-housing project was developed in 20 years.
"I think it's more needed now than ever based on what's happening to our housing stock<" Craddock said. "We're seeing less and less rentals. That results in fewer supplies and higher prices. If we can help with the supply side that helps with our rentals. Anything we can do would be beneficial."
Craddock said after getting council support, he would draft a plan and present it to the the other taxing districts.
"If we want to get the full benefit of this so all the taxes would be exempt for a 10-year period, we need to take this through a process, share it with the other taxing districts and get 51% of the taxing districts to approve," Craddock said. "I think we would get that approval because all the taxing districts are facing the same issue."
Craddock said the current property taxes on a property would not change, the exemption would only apply to additional taxes due to improvements on property.
"So we're not really losing anything at this stage, it's really just encouraging the development of those properties," Councilor Stephanie Kilmer asked.
Craddock said Coos Bay has seen new housing units recently, but very few multi-unit complexes.
"While we have seen 119 housing starts since 2016, very few had multiple units," Craddock said. "We're not seeing triplexes or better. I do believe you'll see something different than you're seeing now. You're seeing mostly singe-family homes or duplexes. If you get multiple units, those are generally rentals."
While the council did not vote, all members were supportive of the plan, with the caveat that it applies to developments of four units or more and does not include the Urban Renewal Agency districts. Those districts are the downtown area of Coos Bay as well as Empire. | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/coos-bay-considering-exempting-taxes-to-increase-housing-stock/article_bd3cc344-fc95-11ec-b1ad-bba8ea8994e1.html | 2022-07-06T19:31:09 | 1 | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/coos-bay-considering-exempting-taxes-to-increase-housing-stock/article_bd3cc344-fc95-11ec-b1ad-bba8ea8994e1.html |

Twenty years ago this week, San Antonio and South Central Texas experienced deadly and destructive flooding.
A storm, driven by a low-pressure system that stalled over the region, dropped 25 to 35 inches across the Hill Country from June 30 to July 7. Then, a week later, just as the area was beginning to dry out, more torrential rain caused the waterways to swell again.
The 2002 storms hit the upper river basins of the region the hardest, including the Guadalupe River, causing water to spill over Canyon Dam and turning a river normally used for recreational tubing and rafting into a raging waterway.

West of San Antonio, Medina Lake's water level was less than 2 feet from cresting the dam. Officials worried that if it was topped, the water could undermine the 90-year-old dam, which would then topple, hurling more than 83 billion gallons of water downstream.
Everything in the dam’s path, including Castroville and south Bexar County, was at risk, engineers warned were at risk.
In the hardest-hit areas, hundreds of residents were trapped in their homes by either floodwaters or impassable roads.
In all, 12 people died in South Texas, including four in San Antonio.
The floods also damaged about 48,000 homes. Twenty-four counties, including Bexar County, were declared disaster areas by the federal government.

Images taken by Express-News photographers that week showed U.S. 281 submerged under water, a swamped Quarry Market, and a school bus flipped on its side, wedged up against a house in New Braunfels.
While devastating, the flood was not nearly as bad as the record-setting flood that occurred four years earlier. A flood in 1998 killed 31 people and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across the Hill Country and San Antonio.
A year after the 2002 flood, San Antonio launched its “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” campaign, augmenting its other efforts, including charging fines and rescue fees, to discourage drivers from attempting to pass through flooded roadways.
A decade after the flood, Bexar County, San Antonio and the San Antonio River Authority, along with a host of other cities and state agencies, began working on a $500 million, 10-year flood plan that removed at least 890 homes from the 100-year flood plain and kept more than 71 miles of major and secondary roads passable.
At least $6 million worth of renovations were completed on the Medina Dam in 2012.
Below are photos from the deadly flood:

Texas A&M University-San Antonio officials are celebrating a $2.1 million gift, the second largest in the university’s history and one intended to financially support Latino students.
The grant by the Hector and Gloria López Foundation is slated to help cover up to five years of tuition, fees, and other college expenses for 15 students who will be named the López Scholars.
“A&M-SA is the right partner for one of two inaugural grants the Foundation announced this week,” Sergio Rodríguez, the foundation’s president and CEO and nephew of Hector and Gloria Lopez, said in a written announcement. “The fact that they are located in San Antonio and serving a population that adds to the economic vibrancy of the community is important to us.”
Through the grant, students will receive financial aid to cover additional tuition and fees atop what they can cover with federal Pell grants and other financial aid options. It will also pay for support services such as mentoring, tutoring, internship salaries and leadership development.

The students will be selected at random by the Texas A&M-San Antonio Foundation/
“The fact that they are admitted (to the university) is enough for us,” Rodríguez said, adding that the goal is to diminish the barriers for students to receive needed aid.
The Hector and Gloria López Foundation selected El Paso, Austin, San Antonio, South Texas, and the Rio Grande Valley as the focus of its need-based scholarships, aiming to invest in Latino students who will be the first in their families to graduate from college.
“They know what is needed to make a difference, and they are willing to make the necessary investment, both financial and in terms of time and effort, to work with the university, tracking data to ensure the desired outcomes,” Jesse Pisors, vice president for university relations and advancement at A&M- San Antonio, said in the announcement.
Hector and Gloria López, now deceased, left their accumulated land and financial assets to the foundation in 2021 with a mission to support post-secondary education for Latino students. The couple were of Mexican descent and grew up in Texas, where they both attended college and later settled. Together they ran a law practice focusing on real estate and oil and gas leases.
“It’s so important that young Latinos see themselves at institutions of higher education and find a network of support that gets them across the stage with a degree that will boost their economic opportunities,” Rodríguez said. “We are committed to colleges and universities with high numbers of Latino students and faculty, with proven success in building networks that help students succeed while they are in school and after they graduate.”

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, there has been a national uptick in vasectomy appointments that has been echoed in San Antonio.
According to Urology San Antonio, Professional Associates, there has been a "significant increase" in vasectomy volume in the past month. The organization, however, said patients have not said whether the abortion ruling influenced their decision.
"So some of the increase simply may be tied to the fact that the men have scheduled time off work during the summer months," Alan Winkler, the organization's executive director, wrote in an email.
On ExpressNews: CPS customers’ bills jump 25 percent in May from a year ago, a windfall for city of San Antonio
The Austin Urology Institute has experienced a similar rush of interest.
Its founder, Dr. Koushik Shaw, said in a statement that there has seen a "significant increase" in men contacting the institute to discuss vasectomy in the wake of recent state and national legislation, with "over 400 phone calls to our office on the Friday the decision was announced, with 70 occurring over just the one hour period after the decision was passed," Shaw told KXAN, a TV station in Austin.

Shaw previously told the Washington Post there was a 15 percent increase in scheduled vasectomies at the institute on Sept. 1, following the passing of Texas' restrictive abortion law.
Several urologists across the country told the Post that they have seen an increase in requests for vasectomy procedures as a result of the Supreme Court decision.
A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that makes men sterile.

"While there are procedures that may reverse a vasectomy, a man should always consider a vasectomy to be permanent," Winkler said.
He added that infertility as a result of vasectomy is not immediate, so those receiving the operation should continue using whatever birth control method they and their partner choose.
The procedure takes about 20 minutes and is typically performed in one clinic sitting. While prices range for vasectomy operations, urologists at Urology San Antonio typically charge about $900. Insurance coverage varies by plan, but many insurance carriers cover the cost of a vasectomy. The Affordable Care Act, however, does not require all insurance companies to cover the deductible for vasectomies, unlike with women's contraceptives, which are covered as "preventative services."

Recovery from a vasectomy operation usually takes a couple of days with minor discomfort.
According to the Mayo Clinic, almost all vasectomies can be reversed, but reversal doesn't guarantee success in conceiving a child. Vasectomy reversal may be attempted even if several years have passed since the original vasectomy, but the longer it has been, the less likely it will work.
According to the Mayo Clinic, pregnancy rates after vasectomy reversal range from about 30 percent to over 90 percent, depending on the type of procedure. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/San-Antonio-vasectomies-roe-v-wade-17285604.php | 2022-07-06T19:34:22 | 0 | https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/San-Antonio-vasectomies-roe-v-wade-17285604.php |
Terrell Hills residents have a new way to stay in the know with an app that the city launched this week.
My Terrell Hills was designed to answer in a more direct way some of the most common questions that officials hear from residents, from when trash, recycling and brush pickup is to how to get a permit or inspection, City Manager William Foley said. The app also includes contact information for city council and staff members and links to public meeting agendas and an open records request form.
But Foley said he is most excited about the notification system in the app, which will allow the city to communicate messages about severe weather, water restrictions, trash pickup, community events and more to its residents.
“That’s what we’re shooting for, is to give you as much information in the palm of your hand that you can possibly have,” Foley said.
Currently the city uses Blackboard, a system that can send voice message alerts, texts and emails. But Foley said he feels the system has become “antiquated” as people have shifted to smartphone technology. He also thinks the app may tamp down confusion; he said that when people receive a voice message from the city, officials often receive several phone calls asking follow-up questions.
The city is spending about $3,000 a year on a contract with a company called GoGov to make the app a reality. Foley said this is about how much the city has been spending on Blackboard.
In a week or so, Foley said a message will be sent out on Blackboard encouraging people to download My Terrell Hills as the city prepares to shut down its Blackboard system. Foley said the city hasn’t decided when it will stop using Blackboard.
Terrell Hills officials started looking into creating an app about a year ago and considered a couple of different companies throughout the process. Terrell Hills officials also ended up talking to Alamo Heights leadership about the app early in the research phase and have stayed in touch throughout the process.
Alamo Heights City Manager Buddy Kuhn said that both communities looked at different options together, but Alamo Heights wanted to “see how their product is received before we transition into something different.”
The Terrell Hills app launched Monday at the city’s annual Fourth of July parade and block party.
“Everybody was really, really excited about the app,” Foley said.
Data on how many people have downloaded the app so far will be available in the coming days, Foley said.
There are about 3,000 contacts in the city’s Blackboard system right now, but Foley said that does not mean that 3,000 residents use it since the system counts each phone number and email address as a separate contact even if they belong to the same person.

A report released Wednesday by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University described numerous errors in the police response to the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde that killed 19 children and two teachers.
Among them: A Uvalde police officer saw the 18-year-old gunman, Salvador Ramos, carrying an assault-style rifle outside of the school before the gunman entered, but the officer did not fire at him. Instead, the officer asked a supervisor for permission to shoot, the report said.
“The supervisor either did not hear or responded too late,” the report said. “The officer turned to get confirmation from his supervisor and when he turned back to address the suspect, he had entered the west hallway unabated.”
The ALERRT document also echoed previous reports that a door to classrooms 111 and 112 likely was not locked when Ramos entered and fired on the children and teachers. After retreating to opposite ends of the hallway, police waited for more than an hour to enter the classrooms and kill Ramos.
Police waited despite “numerous 9-1-1 calls from a child explaining that there were several children and one of her teachers deceased and another teacher hurt in room 112,” the report said.

TEMPLE, Texas — The families of two girls, 8 and 9, are filing wrongful death lawsuits against the social media giant "TikTok" after they both died from trying to participate in a challenge, according to the lawsuit.
One of the girls, Lalani Erika Walton, 8, was from Temple and the other girl, Arriani Jaileen Arroyo, 9, was from Milwaukee.
The lawsuits, which were filed in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles, both allege that both girls died from self-strangulation after they tried to partake in the TikTok challenge, "Blackout Challenge," which reportedly encourages its users to choke themselves with items like belts, ropes and purse strings until they pass out.
The lawsuit highlights TikTok's algorithm saying it "intentionally and repeatedly" displayed the "Blackout Challenge" onto both girls' "For You Page... incentivizing them to participate in the challenge that ultimately took their lives."
“TikTok needs to be held accountable for pushing deadly content to these two young girls,” said attorney Matthew P. Bergman in a news release. “TikTok has invested billions of dollars to intentionally design products that push dangerous content that it knows are dangerous and can result in the deaths of its users.”
6 News attempted to contact Bergman but did not get a response.
Walton died on July 15, 2021, according to the lawsuit. Prior to her death, Walton returned home from a roadtrip with her stepmother and was told to clean her room before they went to the pool. Her stepmother woke up from an hour nap and found Walton's door closed. When she opened it, she found Walton's body, got help from a neighbor to get her down and called police.
Authorities determined she died from self-asphyxiation "as a direct result of attempting TikTok's 'Blackout Challenge,' the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit also says her death wasn't intentional because the girl "had laid out her bathing suit in anticipation of going swimming."
Arroyo died in a similar fashion on Feb. 26, just a few months before Walton, the lawsuit says.
6 News reached out to TikTok for a response. We are waiting to hear back.

RICHMOND, Va. — Police in Richmond, Virginia, said Wednesday that they thwarted a planned July 4 mass shooting after receiving a tip that led to arrests and the seizure of multiple guns.
Authorities announced the alleged plot in a news release, but did not release any additional information. Chief Gerald Smith planned a news conference for Wednesday afternoon.
A spokesperson for the police department did not immediately respond to a call seeking additional details of the planned shooting.
The announcement came just two days after a gunman opened fire from a rooftop on a July 4 parade in the affluent Chicago suburb of Highland Park, killing seven people and injuring more than three dozen.
Robert E. Crimo III was charged with seven counts of murder Tuesday. The shooting sent hundreds of people fleeing in fear and set off an hourslong manhunt. Authorities have not yet identified a motive.

AUSTIN, Texas — Two people who stayed in a Kendall County rental home are suing vacation rental company Vrbo and two property owners after they found the homeowners reportedly recorded them secretly with video cameras, according to a lawsuit.
The incident reportedly happened at Cielito Ranch, a vacation rental property in Comfort, Texas, just south of Fredericksburg in Kendall County.
The plaintiffs in the case, who were only identified as Travis County residents, say that police advised them that the homeowners had illegally placed video cameras on the property, including in the bedroom, and were in operation and recording during their stay in August 2020. The two had rented the property through Vrbo believing it was a private enclave, per the suit. At no point, they said, did the defendants disclose that there were video cameras on the property.
According to the suit, the bedroom camera was placed to capture "illicit videos" of the plaintiffs "in various stages of undress or other intimate and private moments."
"The ordeal has left the Does feeling extremely violated. Jane Doe in particular has suffered severe emotional distress and post-traumatic stress," the suit stated. "The Does now have a fear of travel and hotel rooms. They will likely never be able to stay in a guest rental home again."
The lawsuit accused Vrbo of having a systematic failure to "prevent harm or appropriately deter this kind of behavior on these properties." It went on to state that the company did not conduct a background investigation into the defendants or "engage in any reasonable evaluation" before allowing the property to be listed.
After finding out about the video cameras, Vrbo told the users that the hosts may be required to refund the state and that, at most, the violations could result in removal from the rental website, per the suit.
"This is hardly a deterrent for hosts who decide to engage in any type of contemptible and illegal behavior. Vrbo does not, for example, declare that it will report violations to the police," the suit stated.
The two plaintiffs are asking for between $250,000 and $5 million, depending on the extent of the plaintiffs' damages.
A spokesperson for Vrbo released the following statement on Wednesday:
"We have a strict, long-standing policy against surveillance devices that violate the privacy and security of our guests. Surveillance devices capturing the inside of a property are never allowed in listings on our platform. Surveillance devices outside a property, such as external security cameras or smart doorbells, are only allowed under specific rules and the host must always disclose their presence on the property listing page. Although these occurrences are rare, our trust and safety team actively investigates any complaints about bad actors and takes action accordingly, including permanently removing any host in violation of our policies."

Three men, one woman struck by jet ski on Colorado River near Bullhead City Community Park
One man was left in critical condition after a jet ski struck him and three other adults on the Colorado River in the area of the Bullhead City Community Park on Monday.
The driver of the jet ski, identified as Iridian Jazmin Basoco, 26, of Las Vegas, reportedly lost control and entered the swim-only area, hitting three men and one woman around 4:40 p.m., according to Bullhead City police.
One of the men, later identified as Ricardo Aponte Almanza, 43, of California was taken to a trauma center in critical condition, according to police. Jose Rivas, 21, of California, was taken to a hospital. An unidentified 34-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man from California were treated and released.
Basoco was driving a rented jet ski from a Bullhead City business and she was wearing a business wristband that meant she had watched and understood a safety video as required by City law, according to police.
The Bullhead City Police Department was investigating the accident and waiting for blood test results as of Wednesday morning. The report from the investigation will be forwarded to the Mohave County Attorney’s Office for review.

DECLO — The town is set to demonstrate its community spirit during a two-day annual summer celebration in City Park.
Declo Days will be held Friday and Saturday.
“Back when Declo Days started in the 1980s everyone was having their own celebrations like the church and Lions Club,” said Kim Gailey, Declo Days committee member.
At the time, the committee rallied all the groups to combine the celebrations into one event spread over two days, she said.
Former lawmaker Denton Darrington, of Declo was one of the people who organized the first Declo Days in 1981.
Darrington was the local bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time and recognized that the church and school alumni were holding separate celebrations each year.
“I thought why don’t we get all these groups together at once and have a larger celebration for the community of Declo,” Darrington said. “It turned out to be a good idea and we named it Declo Days.”

Most of the Declo High School reunions are held during the same weekend, so the event draws alumni from all over the country to the city.
“It’s a true small-town community pride thing," Gailey said.
Declo Days are held each year on the second Friday and Saturday of July so people who have moved away can plan to visit.
“It’s different from the July 24th celebrations and different from the Cassia County Fair and the Fourth of July celebrations,” Darrington said.
This year, after a pause for a couple of years, the Hammer Run will return.
The event is named after Brad Matthews, one of the best athletes to graduate from Declo High School, Darrington said.
Nicknamed “Hammer,” Matthews was killed in 1991 in a vehicle crash.
The planning committee is also bringing in Shawn Dee the Hypno Hick hypnotist, who is a group favorite, Gailey said.
"He selects volunteers out of the audience to participate," she said. "He is so entertaining."
At one point, the celebration was reduced to one day, Gailey said, but a new committee brought the two-day event back and now both days are filled with activities, including a parade on Saturday.
The parade route stretches a half-mile on Main Street between the LDS church and the schools.
The Declo Lions Club also plays a central role in the event, marked by music, entertainment, vendors, games for the children, special meals and more.
Many of the events such as the hypnotist show and children’s games are free.
The Lions Club hosts a Saturday breakfast and a raffle.
“The Lions Club does an immense amount of good in our city," Darrington said. "They are doing projects all of the time and they spend the money they make in the community." | https://magicvalley.com/news/local/declo-days-small-town-pride-on-display-july-8-9/article_686080f6-f87e-11ec-870d-6f3ceadbd07b.html | 2022-07-06T19:46:13 | 1 | https://magicvalley.com/news/local/declo-days-small-town-pride-on-display-july-8-9/article_686080f6-f87e-11ec-870d-6f3ceadbd07b.html |
Whitmer, health department explain differences between Plan B, medication abortion
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's state health department launched a public education campaign Wednesday to instruct residents and health care providers on the differences between medication abortion and emergency contraceptives.
The campaign was launched in the wake of the June 24 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, in the event that a state court order enjoining Michigan's abortion ban is nixed to allow for the law's enforcement.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services stressed Wednesday that emergency contraception — sometimes called "Plan B" or the morning-after pill, often administered within a few days of unprotected sex — would remain legal even if Michigan's abortion ban is enforced.
Medication abortions, which are administered up to about 11 weeks of pregnancy, would be banned under Michigan's current law if a court removes a state Court of Claims judge's preliminary injunction stopping enforcement of the law, the department said.
“Women deserve to have control over decisions about their bodies and lives, and the fall of Roe v Wade is leaving many with questions about their access to health care," Whitmer said in a statement Wednesday.
"To make matters worse, some may take advantage of this moment to create confusion about the important differences between emergency contraception and medication abortion, which are completely different medications used for entirely different purposes."
Michigan Chief Medical Executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian stressed that Michigan doctors should know emergency contraception is considered a way to "prevent pregnancy" and medication abortion a way to "end a pregnancy."
"Making sure all health care providers in Michigan understand what the U.S. Supreme Court ruling means for them, and their patients, is vital as they honor their oath to their patients, to their communities and to their profession," Bagdasarian said.
The department also intends to distribute information on the availability of the medications. Emergency contraception can be obtained over the counter in pharmacies, while medication abortions are prescribed and obtained at pharmacies or health centers.
Right to Life of Michigan, which is fighting in court to restore the enforcement of Michigan's abortion ban, agreed that emergency contraceptives such as Plan B would still be legal under Michigan's plan since they are licensed as contraceptives by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and not supposed to be used on confirmed pregnancies.
Additionally, abortion drugs and procedures with dual purposes — such as Mifeprex or Methotrexate — "would not be illegal if used for purposes other than abortion," such as treatment of a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or cancer, said Genevieve Marnon, legislative director for Right to Life of Michigan.
The state of Michigan reported 30,074 induced abortions in 2021, of which about 89% occurred within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, according to Michigan Department of Health and Human Services data. The majority of abortions last year in Michigan — about 69% — were performed between weeks five and eight of pregnancy.
The total number of abortions in 2021 was an increase of about 1.4% from 2020, but down nearly 38.7% from 1987, when the state reached a high for the number of induced abortions. About 51% of abortions in 2021 in Michigan were considered medical or non-surgical abortions.
Michigan's abortion law, which dates back to 1846, bans the administration of drugs or instruments to "procure a miscarriage," unless it is necessary "to preserve the life" of the woman, and makes it a felony to do so. The statute makes no exception for rape or incest.
The law, which was most recently updated in 1931, has been largely unenforceable while the Roe decision was in place and established a right to abortion in the federal Constitution.
In anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court's June Dobbs decision overturning Roe, Planned Parenthood of Michigan and Whitmer filed two separate suits in April challenging the constitutionality of the state's abortion ban and arguing that Michigan's constitution included a right to abortion.
In May, Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher ruled Planned Parenthood was likely to succeed in its suit and granted a preliminary injunction that has kept Michigan's abortion ban unenforceable even after the U.S. Supreme Court decision. Her order is being challenged in the Court of Appeals, where a decision is expected in the coming days or weeks.
Additionally, the group Reproductive Freedom for All is collecting signatures for a November ballot question that would amend the state constitution to establish wide-ranging rights to abortion and other reproductive services.

Detainees at federal prison in Sheridan denied showers amid hunger strike, lawyer says
SHERIDAN, Ore. (AP) — Prison officials at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon, denied showers last month to those held in a unit where people were engaged in a hunger strike, according to a court filing.
A court filing last week by a federal public defender says about 80 people housed in the detention center’s “J2 Unit” were protesting conditions inside the facility’s detention center. According to the Bureau of Prisons, on June 23 some of the men in custody at the prison southwest of Portland “did not accept their meals.”
The following day, documents say prison warden DeWayne Hendrix issued a memo to people in that unit saying showers were postponed, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
“The purpose of this memorandum is to inform each of you that showers are postponed due to continued threats of assault to staff,” Hendrix wrote. “Enhanced security procedures due to ongoing disruptive behavior will continue through the weekend and will be reevaluated on Monday. All issues brought to our attention are being reviewed.”
Oregon Public Defender Lisa Hay noted in the court filing that temperatures in Sheridan reached 90 degrees when showers were withheld.
The Bureau of Prisons didn’t answer questions from OPB about the memo or whether the water was cut off in an effort to end the hunger strike.
U.S. Department of Justice attorneys, who represent the federal prison, said in a court filing of their own last week “that no inmates are currently on a hunger strike.”
Conditions inside the federal prison have been the subject of concern since the pandemic took hold in 2020. Hay has in court filings detailed lockdowns that have lasted for days. In other filings, her office has documented poor medical and dental care that has left many suffering.

Police chief Gerald Smith during a press conference Wednesday said the 2nd Precinct on Friday received a tip from someone who overheard a conversation regarding the shooting.
Authorities found two assault rifles and ammunition at a location in the 1000 block of Columbia Avenue, police said. Two men have been arrested.
"One phone call saved numerous lives on the Fourth of July," said Smith, who called the tipster a "hero witness."
“Today represents what working together should look like here in the City of Richmond,” Mayor Levar Stoney said to open the press conference.
For the 12th consecutive season, the Flying Squirrels enjoyed a sold out ballpark to celebrate the holiday. With nearly 10,000 fans in attendance Monday night, Parnell described the evening as an all-hands-on-deck occasion.

BLOOMINGTON — A Chicago man is in custody after prosecutors say he stole a car and drove it onto a landing area at Central Illinois Regional Airport.
Stephon T. Carter, 33, is charged with possession of a stolen vehicle (Class 2 felony), criminal trespass of a restricted landing area at an airport (Class 4 felony) and two counts of criminal damage to property (Class 4 felonies).
Carter
MCLEAN COUNTY JAIL
Court documents said Carter knowingly possessed an Audi motor vehicle and drove the vehicle through a fence at the Central Illinois Regional Airport on July 3. Damage to the property and the vehicle exceeded $500, prosecutors said.
A prosecutor said in court that Carter was slated for admission to a psychiatric hospital before he stole the vehicle.
A check of McLean County Jail records Tuesday showed that Carter remained held in custody with bail set at $150,000, requiring him to post a bond of $15,000 to be released.

MIDLAND, Texas — The Midland Police Department is sharing some tips with the public to help prevent catalytic converter thefts.
Catalytic converters are a part of the exhaust system of vehicles. It helps control the poisonous exhaust emissions a car emits.
Thieves often target this piece of automobiles because they not only contain expensive materials that have a street value of up to $200 but are also easy for them to remove.
Replacement however can cost up to $2,000.
In 2021, Texas ranked second for states with the most catalytic converter thefts, up from fourth in 2020.
To help prevent your vehicle from becoming a target, here are some tips from the police:
- Park in a garage or a well-lit area
- Engrave your car's VIN number into the catalytic converter
- Install a car alarm that will go off when vibration is detected
- Consider installing a catalytic converter protection device
Another tip experts suggest is spray painting your catalytic converter. Around $6-10 for the paint could save you the expense of replacing it.
This move could deter thieves from targeting your car because they would need to scrape the paint off in order to sell it, which could take more time.
Gov. Abbott signed a bill into law in 2021 which made it a requirement for people trying to sell a catalytic converter to scrap yards provide proof of where it came from.
Those who buy and sell without proof can now be charged with felonies.
If you do find your catalytic converter has been stolen, make sure to contact the authorities as soon as possible and file a claim with your insurance. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/tips-to-prevent-catalytic-converter-theft/513-7e55995d-9387-4291-b88b-c361bb6353d3 | 2022-07-06T20:03:03 | 1 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/tips-to-prevent-catalytic-converter-theft/513-7e55995d-9387-4291-b88b-c361bb6353d3 |
JUNEAU, Alaska — Bill Allen, a central figure in a corruption scandal that rocked Alaska politics, has died. He was 85.
Allen was CEO of the oil services company VECO Corp., which did contracting work for oil producers. He also was a former publisher of the now-defunct Anchorage Times newspaper. In 2009, he was sentenced to three years in prison and fined $750,000 on charges including bribery related to efforts to win support for legislation favored by the company. He served a shorter period.
Sentencing for Allen and a former VECO vice president was delayed more than two years as they cooperated with federal prosecutors in cases against elected officials.
Allen at sentencing said he thought he could do good in pushing tax legislation that was favorable to oil companies.
The FBI approached him in 2006 with plans to prosecute. Agents showed him a videotape of him interacting with a legislator in a Juneau hotel room.
“I could tell I was half drunk and I didn’t like what I looked at,” he said. He said he decided to quit drinking and to cooperate with investigators.
“I went over the line,” he said.
Allen resigned as VECO chairman after his plea agreement. The company also was sold.
Allen also was a star witness in the government’s case against U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, a one-time friend.
Stevens was charged with failing to report gifts, including renovations by Allen’s company to Stevens’ home in Girdwood. A jury verdict against Stevens was set aside and the indictment dismissed amid charges of prosecutorial conduct. But by then, he had lost a 2008 bid for reelection. Stevens died in 2010. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/bill-allen-key-figure-in-alaska-corruption-scandal-dies/2022/07/06/a18ee9a4-fd64-11ec-b39d-71309168014b_story.html | 2022-07-06T20:03:49 | 0 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/bill-allen-key-figure-in-alaska-corruption-scandal-dies/2022/07/06/a18ee9a4-fd64-11ec-b39d-71309168014b_story.html |
ATLANTA — A metro Atlanta woman said she's fighting to prove to the federal government that she's alive.
Miranda Brannan is 27 years old, and the Internal Revenue Service keeps telling her she doesn't exist - for the past ten birthdays.
"They tell me I look pretty good for a dead person," she joked.
However, Brannan said the jokes about her death are getting old, and she's grown tired of going through the same process over the last decade.
"I've been really patient with it," she said, adding that it has all been frustrating.
She said she's almost died trying to fix the issue with the IRS.
"I would try to file with TurboTax and it would reject it every year -- the same issue -- saying that I was deceased," she said.
Brannan, a mother of 5, said the process has grown more troubling as she has never been able to claim her children as dependents.
That's not the only issue.
She's had trouble turning on her electricity, getting financing to buy a car, and now she can't get a loan to buy a house.
She said she needs help, so she turned to 11Alive's Kaitlyn Ross to get results, to get a taste of the process herself.
First was a call to the IRS with agents directing the issue to Tax Advocate. That service bumped the issue to Social Security, who passed the issue back to the IRS.
Brannan said she has been calling the same agencies for a decade and even files her tax papers in person just to prove she tried. Despite the effort, they're still rejected.
"I talk to the tax preparer, IRS, social security and everyone seems to be blown away," she said. "Even the attorney(s), I've talked to a few attorneys, none of them have heard of this situation."
Eventually, Brannan got a letter from the social security office proving that she's alive. But that may not be enough.
The IRS said the issue probably started with a data breach the agency suffered in 2014, Brannan said, but added she still has to jump through hoops to file.
Attorneys tell her they can fix it -- but it will cost her $10,000.
"They owe me money at this point, and I shouldn't have to pay to fix it," she said.
11Alive's Kaitlyn Ross contacted Congressman Drew Ferguson's Office. There's a specialist that works with federal agencies and they got in touch with Brannan Tuesday to say they're taking up her case.
Brannan tells 11Alive that she wants to believe the office can fit it -- but at this point, she's not holding her breath. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/metro-atlanta-woman-10-years-proving-irs-dead/85-65cd401b-e258-4680-998d-61096267e2a6 | 2022-07-06T20:05:58 | 1 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/metro-atlanta-woman-10-years-proving-irs-dead/85-65cd401b-e258-4680-998d-61096267e2a6 |

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP — Hall-of-Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan may have never visited Stockton University, but thanks to the Shore Mall's former owner, nearly 15,000 pieces of his memorabilia will reside at the college.
Real estate investor Leo S. Ullman is donating his Ryan collection to the university, which will be used for a new course the college is formulating, the school said Wednesday in a news release.
The collection is believed to be valued at more than $1 million, the university said.
“Stockton is excited to become the new home for Leo’s vast and unique collection of Nolan Ryan memorabilia,” said Leamor Kahanov, Stockton provost and vice president for academic affairs. “We believe the collection will be a great academic resource for courses like sport history or statistics.”
Ryan is commonly known as one of the greatest pitchers in history. The right-hander, over a 27-year career, recorded more than 5,000 strikeouts and continues to be the league leader in that category. He remains the league's all-time leader in no-hitters pitched as well.

Ullman's collection is believed to be the world's largest. It will be on display and used to help develop a collecting course expected to accept students beginning in spring 2023, the university said.
Ullman wasn't expecting to grow his collection 27 years ago while waiting for his grandson's birth in Madison, Wisconsin. He saw a card show at a nearby motel and decided to visit it.
“I bought 12 Nolan Ryan cards for $1 each, thinking I had a collection having no idea what I was getting into,” Ullman, who is president of Vastgood Properties, a private real estate ownership and management company, said in a statement Wednesday. “I had no goal. I knew I’d never capture the entire market. I just found the products interesting."
From those baseball cards, Ullman expanded his collection to include signed cowboy boots, a leather horse saddle featuring Ryan's likeness and a watercolor portrait. The collection features standard baseball collectors’ fare, including more than 8,500 cards, about 3,000 of which are signed by the hall-of-famer, the university said.
“This collection is probably the largest private collection in existence and covers all types of memorabilia, from the mundane and common to the unusual and rare,” appraiser Leon Castner said. “This collection is not simply an accumulation of individual items. It is an archive of modern sports collectability.”
Ryan Taylor hit an RBI double in the bottom of the 11th inning as the Tri-Cape all-star base…
Ullman is donating his collection to a place all too familiar to him.
He and his wife, Kay, founded the Schimmel and Hoogenboom Righteous Remembrance Room at the university’s Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center. The room honors people who sheltered Ullman and his family in Amsterdam, Netherlands, during the Holocaust.
Ullman said “it’s worth a course on the prospect and on the effort of collecting and creating value through collecting.”
"As much as I admire Nolan Ryan, both as a person and for his career in baseball, without limit, the collection — and a book that will shortly be released on the collection — is focused not about Nolan Ryan per se,” Ullman said, “but rather, it’s all about collecting a very significant part of all that’s out there to honor this special iconic person.”
Ullman signed off on the contribution as a renewed interest in the pitcher continues, likely an effect of “Facing Nolan,” a new documentary about him, which will be available on streaming services beginning July 19, the university said. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/education/former-shore-mall-owner-donates-nolan-ryan-memorabilia-to-stockton-university/article_10f9823a-fd4d-11ec-97fb-5f93ef79a922.html | 2022-07-06T20:11:06 | 1 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/education/former-shore-mall-owner-donates-nolan-ryan-memorabilia-to-stockton-university/article_10f9823a-fd4d-11ec-97fb-5f93ef79a922.html |

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A Pasco man pleaded guilty to arson and manufacturing an explosive device Wednesday, taking a deal from Multnomah County prosecutors to get 36 months probation.
In the spring of 2021, Jake Swingle set off a pipe bomb at the end of an RV parked in the Argay Terrace neighborhood in Northeast Portland, authorities said.
The owner of the RV was not hurt in the explosion.
Prosecutors said they were confident in offering Swingle a probation deal after he went through drug recovery programs. | https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/man-pleads-guilty-to-explosion-that-damaged-rv-in-argay-terrace/ | 2022-07-06T20:12:13 | 0 | https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/man-pleads-guilty-to-explosion-that-damaged-rv-in-argay-terrace/ |
TUPELO • City officials broke down plans for the $9.4 million they received in American Rescue Plan Act funds from the federal government during a Tuesday morning work session.
Chief Operations Officer Don Lewis said that along with the APRA allotment, the city would shell out an extra $18 million for drainage from a State Revolving Loan Fund that the state already approved. The city also hopes to secure another $9 million from the Legislature, bringing the total to $36 million.
“Being able to match it, we are going to be able to extend this money a lot further,” said Tupelo Water and Light Director Johnny Timmons, whose department will oversee much of the work. “It is a great opportunity.”
The city proposed about 20 projects throughout each ward, with estimated costs from as high as $6 million for a new sewer line from the Southwest Pump Station to South Gloster Street to as low as $184,000 at Holly Hill Street.
City Attorney Ben Logan said the matching grants from the state would flow through $450 million in ARPA funds that the state must use on matching ARPA allocations for city and county projects.
Logan told the Daily Journal that the fate of these projects wouldn't depend on getting the $9 million injection from the state. He said the city would split the funds in half and reallocate half to water projects and the other half to sewer projects.
"It is a competitive grant across the state," he said, noting that almost every municipality in the state would be vying for a piece of the pie.
Ward 2 Councilman Lynn Bryan asked if there were any priorities on which projects get completed first. He said there was previously a policy that included a “priority list” that put projects in order of water in residents' homes, water in businesses, water on streets and water on yards.
“We have water in houses in Bristow Acres, and we have to do something about it,” he said.
Ward 4 Councilwoman Nettie Davis asked if there was any way to add drainage work on Tolbert Street to the list, noting that increased construction on the street has caused some drainage issues.
Lewis explained that the city picked projects using guidelines from a 2016 drainage study completed by Cook Coggins. He also said the administration would be working on securing the grants from the state, after which it would secure contractors and bids. Much of the projects, Lewis said, were already on the capital plan.
Ward 6 Councilwoman Janet Gaston asked if any excess funds could go to complete roadwork that the city cut short due to inflation and rising oil by the barrel costs. Lewis said the money would have to go to drainage or other approved projects but noted the excess cash flow into these projects would leave more room in the capital budget for projects like additional road maintenance.
“If we have a little left over, we can't say it can go to overlay. This is very specific,” he said of where the city could allocate ARPA funds, adding that it would still indirectly benefit other projects even if the city can't earmark funds to things like roads and bridges.
The city has until 2024 to allocate the ARPA funds and until 2026 to spend the money. | https://www.djournal.com/news/local/city-mulls-big-ticket-drainage-work-with-arpa-funds/article_9a53a0ce-a5fb-532a-8f3a-8f8e6354db51.html | 2022-07-06T20:12:36 | 0 | https://www.djournal.com/news/local/city-mulls-big-ticket-drainage-work-with-arpa-funds/article_9a53a0ce-a5fb-532a-8f3a-8f8e6354db51.html |
TUPELO • The Auburn Road intersection with Interstate 22 in Lee County was officially named the Sheriff Harold Ray Presley Memorial Interchange Wednesday morning.
The ceremony was held on the 21st anniversary of the veteran lawman losing his life in the line of duty.
“This is so appreciated. I am glad we could do this today,” said Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley, a nephew of the late sheriff. “He left a legacy. That is evident by the fact he is still admired 21 years after he left us.”
While the late Presley, who was known as just “Harold Ray,” was widely known for exploits ranging from youthful indiscretions to being a hard-nosed lawman, the intersection played a role in his last hours.
Harold Ray was headed home Thursday, July 5, 2001, when he heard a call over the police radio. Law enforcement was chasing an assault suspect out of Tupelo. He drove to the Auburn Road bridge over then Highway 78 to wait for the deputies in pursuit. In the early morning hours of the next day, Harold Ray was shot as the suspect tried to run from an out building on Fellowship Road.

The Wednesday dedication filled the community room at the Tombigbee Electric Power Association with family, friends and former coworkers who were more than happy to swap stories about Presley
“In East Tupelo, everybody has an Elvis Presley story and most also have a Harold Ray story,” said Tupelo City Councilman Buddy Palmer, whose family hired a teenage Harold Ray to work in their grocery store.
Palmer recalled Presley as a “rather rambunctious young man” who enjoyed a cold beer and a “round of fisticuffs.”
“But he was also a handsome, charismatic, hard-working young man,” Palmer said.
Lee County Supervisor Phil Morgan recalled working with Presley to raise money to purchase an explosive-sniffing dog following a series of bomb threats at schools and businesses in 2001.
“Harold Ray was gritty. He was happy kicking in doors and chasing suspects,” Morgan said. “But he could also be diplomatic and caring.”
Brandon Presley described his uncle as a “perfect mix of Bufford Pusser and Andy Griffith.”
“He had a lot of rough and tumble in him. His willingness to be out there on the front line is the reason he lost his life,” Brandon Presley said. “But Harold Ray wouldn’t have wanted to die in a hospital bed. He led by example. He wanted to be at the forefront.”
In order to have the interchange named in Presley’s memory, the Lee County Board of Supervisors had to pass a resolution, then get the Lee County delegation to introduce the matter to the state legislature. House Bill 303 passed during the 2022 session.
Transportation Commissioner John Caldwell told the crowd that they will now look at similar dedication signs differently.
“You will realize that the people who get these tings made a difference in their community. A life of service goes before the sign,” Caldwell said. “You will see the signs different now. I know I do.”
The Mississippi Department of Transportation paid for the two signs on the interstate. The Lee County Board of Supervisors purchased the signs on Auburn Road. | https://www.djournal.com/news/local/mdot-names-interchange-after-late-lee-county-sheriff-harold-ray-presley/article_da89c913-eafb-5107-9923-529e317e361e.html | 2022-07-06T20:12:42 | 0 | https://www.djournal.com/news/local/mdot-names-interchange-after-late-lee-county-sheriff-harold-ray-presley/article_da89c913-eafb-5107-9923-529e317e361e.html |

Democrat to challenge Greg Garrison for Hamilton County prosecutor
The Hamilton County Democratic Party announced five candidates have filed for the November general election, including a challenger to GOP nominee for prosecutor, but left most other county-wide offices uncontested.
Deputy Hamilton County prosecutor Jessica Paxson will run for prosecutor’s job against Republican nominee Greg Garrison. Paxson has worked for seven years in the office on sex crimes and four years in the Tippecanoe County prosecutor’s office. She spent two years in private practice.
A Westfield native, Paxson said her close community ties and dedication to safety motivated her run.
Arrest:Lyft driver shot and killed by Indianapolis man who then drove to visit family, police say
“Right now, our 4 cities are all ranked in the Top 7 safest cities in the state,” Paxson said in a news release. “To keep it that way, Hamilton County needs an experienced prosecutor who has deep relationships in our community and is familiar with the technological advancements in forensic evidence and courtroom presentation.”
Garrison scored an upset victory in the Republican primary over incumbent D. Lee Buckingham with 59% of the vote. Garrison was a long-time radio talk show host who previously worked for the Marion County prosecutor’s office.
The Democrats did not field a candidate in the primary but had until July 15 to file for the general election.
Democrats announced for other Hamilton County races
The Democrats also announced Josh Lowry will run for State Senate District 21 seat against Republican Sen. James Buck, and Matt McNally will challenger Republican Gerald Torr for the State House District 39 seat.
Julia Keller will run for the Clay Township Board and Pam Williams for Adams Township Board.
Other county offices will be unchallenged by Democrats in November including county sheriff, clerk, coroner, assessor and county commissioner. One Democrat is running for a county council seat.
Hamilton County has historically been a strongly Republican-eaning county, though Democrats have gained a few seats on city councils and the statehouse in the last five years.

TIFTON — Shawn Burnette has been selected as the coordinator of student activities at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. He began his duties on July 1.
Burnette, a native of Cordele, is a 2015 ABAC graduate with a bachelor of science degree in Rural Studies-Politics and Modern Cultures. He also obtained a bachelor of arts degree in History and his teaching certification from Georgia Southwestern State University. Burnette is on track to complete his graduate degree in history from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington this summer.
“I am ecstatic about being able to return to my alma mater and am looking forward to working with the students and faculty of ABAC,” Burnette said.
Burnette has taught social studies at Crisp County High School for the past four years.
“As an educator, I have listened to several students from different backgrounds about what they want to see and become a part of in this world,” Burnette said. “From those interactions, I have learned what students’ interests are and how to assist them in achieving their goals.”
In his new position, Burnette plans and leads different programs on campus that will enrich the college experience for ABAC students.
“I will be coordinating several programs and events throughout the year for students and faculty to participate in and enjoy,” Burnette said. “I will also assist every club on ABAC’s campus with implementing and scheduling club events.”
ABAC offers more than 60 clubs and organizations for students to engage in while cultivating academic excellence. Most students find participation in extracurricular activities enhances their college experience.
“My first goal as coordinator will be to revitalize ABAC’s Campus Activities Board,” Burnette said. “This student organization will assist me in bringing new programs and events to the campus. I firmly believe that students know what other students want to participate in and enjoy on campus, so this organization will communicate student input while planning and researching new events.
“If anyone has any ideas about what activities they want to see on campus, drop by my office, or if you see me on campus, feel free to strike up a conversation. I am always open to ideas.”

Judge rules against Nakota Kelly's father in bid to toss evidence in murder case
A father accused of killing his 10-year-old son has lost a court battle over whether police had the right to enter his apartment — an alleged crime scene — without a warrant.
Anthony Dibiah's attorney had asked a Marion County judge to stop prosecutors from presenting blood and other evidence found inside the apartment, arguing officers unjustly entered without a warrant.
Police entered the apartment July 19, 2020 without a warrant, prosecutors argued, because two people told police in the hours before the entry that Dibiah had confessed to killing Nakota Kelly, his 10-year-old son.
Past coverage:Nakota Kelly's father asks judge to suppress evidence found in apartment.
On Friday, a judge issued an order saying that was reason enough for them to go inside.
Marion Superior Magistrate Judge James Snyder wrote that police did not violate Dibiah's Fourth Amendment rights, which protect citizens from unreasonable searches, because they were trying to confirm if the reports of a homicide were true.
"This entry was intended to save a potential child fatality," Snyder wrote.
IndyStar requested comment from Brian Lamar, Dibiah's attorney, but didn't receive a response at time of publication.
Snyder also noted that their intrusion was limited. After receiving a key to the apartment from the complex's office, police entered for two to three minutes, according to the judge, and only checked areas where a child might reasonably be found.
"Had officers here chosen to root through areas where a child could not have been found – for instance, drawers or cabinets – the degree of intrusion would be much higher," Snyder wrote.
Nakota Kelly:'They would have been able to stop it': Nakota Kelly's mother wants DCS to admit wrongdoing
During those two to three minutes, an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer observed "what appeared to be blood spatter, blood smears and brain matter in the apartment bathroom," according to a probable cause affidavit. Officers then requested and received a search warrant to go back in and collect evidence.
Dibiah was accused of putting a plastic bag over his son's head until he suffocated, then taking the boy into the bathroom "to make sure he was dead" before dumping the boy's body, court documents state. His body has not been found.
Nakota Kelly:'My dad is going to kill me.' Mother reported boy's words to DCS days before his death
Dibiah was charged with murder July 20, 2020.
Lamar, Dibiah's attorney, had previously argued that the reports of a homicide suggested a crime had already occurred — not that one was in progress.
"Neither (IMPD) Officer Nike nor his supervisor believed this was a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate entry into the home," Lamar wrote in his motion to suppress the evidence.
Nakota Kelly:'Letting my son down': At least 5 abuse complaints came before boy warned of his own death
Prosecutors argued that police concern was "extremely high," and that officers would be "derelict in their duties" if they assumed the child was already dead and "did not at least attempt to render aid if, in fact, the child had been inside severely injured."
Even if Dibiah had convinced a judge to throw out the evidence, he had other factors working against him, legal experts told IndyStar.
Before he disappeared, Nakota Kelly had told his mother, Hayley Kelly, "my dad is going to kill me," according to police. Dibiah also allegedly sent an ominous text message to Hayley Kelly the day police entered his apartment.
"Sometimes I hear voices," the text read, according to police. "My son is in Heaven."
A jury trial against Dibiah is scheduled for September.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOKW) — Gov. Justice is proposing a 10% personal income tax reduction, that he says will put $254 million, “back into the hands of the people of West Virginia.”
Justice announced this during a press conference on the fiscal year 2022 general revenue collections.
He says this will be a permanent tax cut and, “not a temporary stimulus.”
The Governor says he will be calling a special session to coincide with the July Interims and ask to pass the bill he is proposing.
Justice says he will announce later if the special session will also discuss West Virginia’s abortion law.
“It puts us on a glide path to someday, someday be a state as Florida, Tennessee and Texas are today,” Justice says. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/gov-justice-proposing-10-personal-income-tax-reduction/ | 2022-07-06T20:24:28 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/gov-justice-proposing-10-personal-income-tax-reduction/ |
GILES COUNTY, Va. – An Alleghany County woman has pleaded guilty to abducting a boy from a Giles County church in 2021.
Court documents show that Nancy Fridly has pleaded guilty to abduction as well as child abuse and neglect in connection to an incident in May 2021. She’s accused of abducting a 2-year-old boy from Riverview Baptist Church in Ripplemead.
Fridley was arrested after the boy disappeared from daycare.
The child’s mother took the stand during a previous court appearance and said she took him to the daycare at the church that Sunday as they always did. She testified that her son has been struggling with certain behaviors since this incident occurred. Daycare workers also said that a woman consistent with Fridley’s appearance came to the door and asked for the toddler.
Fridley is set to face trial for these charges on July 26. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/06/alleghany-county-woman-pleads-guilty-to-abducting-boy-from-giles-county-church/ | 2022-07-06T20:24:28 | 1 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/06/alleghany-county-woman-pleads-guilty-to-abducting-boy-from-giles-county-church/ |
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia American Water wants a nearly 5% rate increase for customers.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports that the utility asked state regulators last week to approve the surcharge for infrastructure improvements.
West Virginia American said in its application that the proposed rate hike is based on planned capital projects and post-acquisition investment in troubled systems in 2023 totaling $48.7 million.
The filing says the proposed surcharge would be $2.88 monthly for average residential use, $12.59 for average commercial use and $337.47 for average industrial use.
The company requested that new rates to go into effect on Jan. 1. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/west-virginia-water-provider-asks-for-nearly-5-rate-increase/ | 2022-07-06T20:24:34 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/west-virginia-water-provider-asks-for-nearly-5-rate-increase/ |
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Pets in shelters are looking to find new homes this summer and now, new pet owners won’t have to pay adoption fees thanks to Bissell Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” event.
On Wednesday, the Bissell Pet Foundation announced that this year’s event will begin on July 11 and last until July 31.
The event is held to prompt a national call for adoption, Bissell said, and that ultimately, it’s to combat the dire situations that adoptable pets are facing due to slowed adoptions, overcrowding, housing crisis, rental crisis, and increased length of stay.
The Bissell Pet Foundation said that by sponsoring reduced adoption fees or $50 or less during the event, they aim to take thousands of deserving shelter pets from kennels to couches.
The release said that these are the shelters in our areas that are participating in the event:
- Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA
- Alleghany Humane Society
- Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA
- Pittsylvania Pet Center
While the event will last for three weeks, some locations may not participate for the entire duration, according to the release.
You can find more information and other participating locations on the “Empty the Shelters” website. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/06/animal-shelters-participating-in-empty-the-shelters-adoption-fees-sponsored/ | 2022-07-06T20:24:35 | 1 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/06/animal-shelters-participating-in-empty-the-shelters-adoption-fees-sponsored/ |
YORKTOWN, Va. — A Facebook community effort helped connect a message in a bottle back to the Poquoson boy who threw it in the water, 44 years later.
Megan Daliege posted about the mysterious bottle on Independence Day, and it's been shared on Facebook almost 500 times in 24 hours.
"Today we found a message in a bottle off the York River not far from York River State Park1," she wrote. "It was in what I believe to be a late 70’s early 80’s Pepsi bottle and said it was from Poquoson VA. We called the number but it was out of service… we would love to find Kendra or Don Kendra and tell them we found it… do your thing Facebook. (Maybe: Don Kendrick)."
Spoiler alert: Facebook did.
The story started when Brian Daliege and his son were walking along the York River between York River State Park and Camp Peary. They spotted what looked like an antique bottle resting on one of the cliff-like ledges above the water.
"The river comes up and there's a 4-foot drop, and it was on top of that, like a big wave had pushed it up there," Daliege said.
He said his son likes to collect bottles, so they grabbed it, and could tell right away that it was old. They didn't know how old, though.
"I dunked it in the water and cleaned it a little, the threads, and the top finally came off," he said. "Those caps have a little round rubber disk. That was still stuck to the top of the bottle."
There was a message inside, written in large pencil strokes.
"If you find this bottle call 868-7694 Poquoson Va. United Sates [sic] ask for Don Kendrick."
The number didn't lead to a Don, but Megan Daliege's Facebook post took off, with people searching for the author.
"It kind of went from just local people that we're friends with on Facebook to people we've never even heard of before," Brian said.
Soon, they got a comment from a person named Tracy Kendrick, who said this could be from her husband, Don.
Daliege said they're pretty sure he's the boy who tossed this bottle, and three others, into the Poquoson River 44 years ago. He was 12 when he wrote the message.
Daliege said the mystery is solved, and for now, they've got the bottle at their house.
"We've offered it back to Don Kendrick, we haven't heard back yet whether he wants it or not," he said. "It's just a cool story." | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/message-in-a-bottle-york-county-pepsi-bottle/291-fd18117c-bc26-4785-9135-1f81e1b93448 | 2022-07-06T20:25:39 | 1 | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/message-in-a-bottle-york-county-pepsi-bottle/291-fd18117c-bc26-4785-9135-1f81e1b93448 |

Police are looking for a 28-year-old Lincoln man who they say fled the area of 37th and O streets Saturday night after he crashed his 2013 Ford Focus into an eastbound Subaru, killing 19-year-old Alexandor Eskra, according to new court filings.
Gustavo Gonzalez Cardenas has remained at large since he fled the crash on foot around 9 p.m. Saturday, leaving Eskra trapped inside his Subaru Forester bleeding from his face and head, Lincoln Police Investigator Jon Rennerfeldt said in a warrant for Cardenas' arrest, which a judge signed Tuesday.
Cardenas, who police identified through his car's registration and surveillance footage that captured the crash, was driving west on O Street when he struck the raised median and crossed into the eastbound lane, colliding with Eskra's vehicle, which then crashed into an eastbound Chrysler, according to the crash report.
First responders found Eskra unconscious and trapped inside his SUV, which Lincoln Fire and Rescue crews had to cut in order to reach the 19-year-old, Rennerfeldt said.

Esrka, who was wearing his seatbelt, suffered a lacerated spleen and multiple facial and skull fractures, Rennerfeldt said. He died at a local hospital early Sunday morning.
Police monitored Cardenas' northwest Lincoln home for several days after the crash and repeatedly tried to contact him there, but he never turned up, Rennerfeldt said.
"At this time, Gustavo’s whereabouts are unknown," Rennerfeldt wrote in the affidavit, which he signed Sunday. The document became public Tuesday.
The 23-year-old has been formally charged with failing to stop or render aid in a serious injury crash, a class 3 felony.
Both the Ford and Subaru were totaled in the collision, which shut down O Street for about six hours. The crash caused $15,000 in damage to the Chrysler.
Police on Sunday asked anyone with information on the crash or driver to call 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
Tom Casady's list of the 10 most infamous crimes in Lincoln history
Crimes of the times
This is simply one man’s perspective from the early 21st century (first written in 2010). I had to make a decision about crimes that occurred at locations that are inside the city today, but were outside our corporate limits at the time they occurred. I chose the latter.
Before beginning, though, I have to deal with three crimes that stand apart: the murders of three police officers in Lincoln. I’m not quite sure how to place them in a list. They all had huge impacts on the community, and on the police department in particular. Because these are my colleagues, I deal with them separately and in chronological order.
Patrolman Marion Francis Marshall
Shot in the shadow of the new Nebraska State Capital, Gov. Charles Bryan came to his aid and summoned additional help.
Lt. Frank Soukup
Marion Marshall was technically not a Lincoln police officer, so Lt. Soukup was actually the first Lincoln police officer killed on duty. One of his colleagues who was present at the motel and involved in the gunbattle, Paul Jacobsen, went on to enjoy a long career and command rank at LPD, influencing many young charges (like me) and leaving his mark on the culture of the agency.
Lt. Paul Whitehead
In the space of a few months, three LPD officers died in the line of duty. Frank Soukup had been murdered, and George Welter had died in a motorcycle crash. Paul Whitehead's partner, Paul Merritt, went on to command rank, and like Paul Jacobsen left an indelible mark at LPD and the community.
No. 1: Starkweather
The subject of several thinly disguised movie plots and a Springsteen album, the Starkweather murders are clearly the most infamous crime in Lincoln’s history — so far. One of the first mass murderers of the mass media age, six of Charles Starkweather’s 11 victims were killed inside the city of Lincoln, and the first was just on the outskirts of town. I didn’t live in Lincoln at the time, but my wife was a first-grader at Riley Elementary School and has vivid memories of the city gripped by fear in the days between the discovery of the Bartlett murders and Starkweather’s capture in Wyoming.
The case caused quite an uproar. There was intense criticism of the police department and sheriff’s office for not capturing Starkweather earlier in the week after the discovery of the Bartletts' bodies. Ultimately, Mayor Bennett Martin and the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners retained a retired FBI agent, Harold G. Robinson, to investigate the performance of local law enforcement. His report essentially exonerated the local law officers and made a few vanilla recommendations for improving inter-agency communication and training.
Now I know that many readers are mumbling to themselves “how obvious.” Hold your horses, though. It’s not quite as obvious as you might think. I had two experiences that drove this fact home to me. The first was a visit by a small group of journalism students. Only one member of the class had any idea, and her idea was pretty vague. You need to remember that the Starkweather murders were in 1957 and 1958 — before the parents of many college students were even born.
The second experience was a visit by a Cub Scout den. I was giving the kids a tour of the police station one evening. We were in the front lobby waiting for everyone to arrive. As I entertained the boys, I told the moms and dads that they might enjoy looking in the corner of the Sheriff’s Office display case to see the contents of Starkweather’s wallet — discovered a couple of years ago locked up in the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office safe. After a few minutes, one of the confused fathers asked me who Starkweather was, and why it was significant.
No. 2: Lincoln National Bank
On the morning of Sept. 17, 1930, a dark blue Buick carrying six men pulled up in front of the Lincoln National Bank at the northwest corner of 12th and O streets. Five of the men entered the bank, while a sixth stood outside by the Buick, cradling a machine gun. Observing the unusual events, a passerby called the police. The officer who responded, Forrest Shappaugh, was casually instructed by the machine-gun-toting lookout to just keep going, which he wisely did. Returning with reinforcements, he found that the robbers had already made good on their getaway, netting $2.7 million in cash and negotiable securities.
Ultimately, three of the six suspects were arrested. Tommy O’Connor and Howard Lee were convicted and sentenced. Jack Britt was tried twice but not convicted by a hung jury. Gus Winkeler, a member of Al Capone’s gang, winged a deal with County Attorney Max Towle to avoid prosecution in exchange for orchestrating the recovery of $600,000 in bearer bonds. The following year, Winkeler was murdered in Chicago, the victim of a gangland slaying. The final two robbers were never identified.
The Lincoln National Bank robbery stood as the largest cash bank robbery in the United States for many decades. It precipitated major changes at the Lincoln Police Department. Chief Peter Johnstone was rapidly “retired” after the robbery, the department’s fleet was upgraded to add the first official patrol cars, the full force was armed and a shotgun squad was organized. Forty-four years later when I was hired at LPD, the echo of the Lincoln National Bank robbery was still evident in daily bank opening details, and in the Thomspon submachine guns and Reising rifles that detectives grabbed whenever the robbery alarm sounded at headquarters.
No. 3: The Last Posse
My first inkling about this crime came when I was the chief deputy sheriff. One of my interns, a young man named Ron Boden (who became a veteran deputy sheriff), had been doing some research on Lancaster County’s only known lynching, in 1884. I came across a reference in the biography of the sheriff at the time, Sam Melick, to the murder of the Nebraska Penitentiary warden and subsequent prison break. Melick had been appointed interim warden after the murder and instituted several reforms.
Several years later, a colleague, Sgt. Geoff Marti, loaned me a great book, Gale Christianson’s "Last Posse," that told the story of the 1912 prison break in gory, haunting and glorious detail.
To make a long story short, convict Shorty Gray and his co-conspirators shot and killed Warden James Delahunty, a deputy warden and a guard on Wednesday, March 13, 1912. They then made their break — right into the teeth of a brutal Nebraska spring blizzard. Over the course to the next few days, a posse pursued. During the pursuit, the escapees carjacked a young farmer with his team and wagon. As the posse closed in, a gunfight broke out and the hostage was shot and killed in the exchange, along with two of the three escapees.
There was plenty of anger among the locals in the Gretna-Springfield vicinity about the death of their native son, and a controversy raged over the law enforcement tactics that brought about his demise. Lancaster County Sheriff Gus Hyers was not unsullied by the inquiry, although it appears from my prospect a century later that the fog of war led to the tragedy.
Christianson, a professor of history at Indiana State University who died earlier this year, notes the following on the flyleaf:
“For anyone living west of the Mississippi in 1912, the biggest news that fateful year was a violent escape from the Nebraska state penitentiary planned and carried out by a trio of notorious robbers and safe blowers.”
Bigger news on half the continent than the sinking of the Titanic during the same year would certainly qualify this murder-escape as one of the most infamous Lincoln crimes in history.
No. 4: Rock Island wreck
The Aug. 10, 1894, wreck of a Rock Island train on the southwest outskirts of Lincoln was almost lost in the mist of time until it was resurrected in the public consciousness by author Joel Williams, who came across the story while conducting research for his historical novel, "Barrelhouse Boys."
The wreck was determined to be the result of sabotage to the tracks, perhaps an attempt to derail the train as a prelude to robbery. Eleven people died in the crash and ensuing fire, making this a mass murder, to be sure. G.W. Davis was arrested and convicted of the crime but later received a full pardon. The story was told in greater detail earlier this year by the Lincoln Journal Star.
A historical marker is along the Rock Island Trail in Wilderness Park, accessible only by foot or bike from the nearest trail access points about a half-mile away at Old Cheney Road on the north, or 14th Street on the south.
Here’s the big question that remains unanswered: Was there really significant evidence to prove that George Washington Davis committed the crime, or was he just a convenient scapegoat? The fact that he received a gubernatorial pardon 10 years later leads me to believe that the evidence must have been unusually weak. If he was railroaded, then my second question is this: who really pried loose the tracks with the 40-pound crowbar found at the scene?
No. 5: Commonwealth
On Nov. 1, 1983, the doors to Nebraska’s largest industrial savings and loan company were closed and Commonwealth was declared insolvent. The 6,700 depositors with $65 million at stake would never be fully compensated for their loss, ultimately receiving about 59 cents on the dollar for their deposits, which they all mistakenly believed were insured up to $30,000 through the Nebraska Depository Insurance Guaranty Corporation, which was essentially an insurance pool with assets of only $3 million.
The case dominated Nebraska news for months. The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of three members of the prominent Lincoln family that owned the institution, the resignation of the director of the State Department of Banking and the impeachment of the Nebraska attorney general and the suspension of his license to practice law. State and federal litigation arising from the failure of Commonwealth drug on for years.
At the Lincoln Police Department, the Commonwealth failure led to the formation of a specialized white-collar crime detail, now known as the Technical Investigations Unit. At the time, municipal police departments in the United States had virtually no capacity for investigating financial crime and fraud of this magnitude, and we quickly became well known for our expertise in this area. The early experience served LPD very well in the ensuring years.
No. 6: Candice Harms
Candi Harms never came home from visiting her boyfriend on Sept. 22, 1992. Her parents reported her as a missing person the following morning, and her car was found abandoned in a cornfield north of Lincoln later in the day. Weeks went by before her remains were found southeast of Lincoln.
Scott Barney and Roger Bjorklund were convicted in her abduction and murder. Barney is in prison serving a life term. Bjorklund died in prison in 2001. Intense media attention surrounded the lengthy trial of Roger Bjorklund, for which a jury was brought in from Cheyenne County as an alternative to a change of venue. I have no doubt that the trial was a life-changing event for a group of good citizens from Sidney, who did their civic duty.
I was the Lancaster County sheriff at the time, involved both in the investigation and in the trial security. It was at about this time that the cellular telephone was becoming a consumer product, and I have often thought that this brutal crime probably spurred a lot of purchases. During my career, this is probably the second-most-prominent Lincoln crime in terms of the sheer volume of media coverage.
No. 7: Jon Simpson and Jacob Surber
A parent’s worst nightmare unfolded in September 1975 when these two boys, ages 12 and 13, failed to return from the Nebraska State Fair. The boys were the victims of abduction and murder. The case was similar to a string of other murders of young boys in the Midwest, and many thought that these cases were related -- the work of a serial killer. Although an arrest was made in the case here in Lincoln, the charges were eventually dismissed. William Guatney was released and has since died.
No. 8: John Sheedy
Saloon and gambling house owner John Sheedy was gunned down outside his home at 1211 P St. in January 1891. The case of Sheedy, prominent in Lincoln’s demiworld, became the talk of the town when his wife, Mary, and her alleged lover and accomplice, Monday McFarland, were arrested. Both were acquitted at trial. The Sheedy murder is chronicled in a great interactive multimedia website, Gilded Age Plains City, an online version that builds upon an article published in 2001 by Timothy Mahoney of the University of Nebraska.
No. 9: Patricia McGarry and Catherine Brooks
The bodies of these two friends were found in a Northeast Lincoln duplex in August 1977. Their murderer, Robert E. Williams, was the subject of a massive Midwest manhunt during the following week. Before his capture, he committed a third murder in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and raped, shot and left for dead a victim who survived in Minnesota. He is the last man to be executed in Nebraska, sent to the electric chair in 1997.
No. 10: Judge William M. Morning
District Court Judge William Morning was murdered in February 1924. He was shot on the bench by an unhappy litigant in a divorce case. His court reporter, Minor Bacon, was also shot, but a notebook in his breast pocket deflected the bullet and saved his life.
Many other crimes
Choosing Lincoln's 10 most infamous crimes was a challenge. Although the top two were easy, the picture quickly became clouded. We tend, of course, to forget our history rather quickly. Many of the crimes I felt were among the most significant are barely remembered today, if not completely forgotten.
Some readers will take issue with my list. In choosing 10, here are the others I considered, in no particular order. They are all murders:
-- Mary O'Shea
-- Nancy Parker
-- Charles Mulholland
-- Victoria Lamm and Janet Mesner
-- Martina McMenamin
-- Regina Bos (presumably murdered)
-- Patty Webb
-- Marianne Mitzner
I also thought about the five murder-suicides in which a mother or father killed multiple family members before taking their own life. Though tragic, these crimes did not command the same kind of attention as the others, perhaps because there was no lengthy investigation, no tantalizing whodunit, no stranger-killer, nor any of the details that come out in the coverage of a major trial. | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/lincoln-man-wanted-for-fleeing-fatal-crash-at-37th-and-o-streets-police-say/article_fdeb8acc-86bf-5f45-b9cd-8f514bbe2ab9.html | 2022-07-06T20:26:45 | 0 | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/lincoln-man-wanted-for-fleeing-fatal-crash-at-37th-and-o-streets-police-say/article_fdeb8acc-86bf-5f45-b9cd-8f514bbe2ab9.html |
An unarmed man is wanted after he robbed a north Lincoln bank of an undisclosed amount of money Wednesday afternoon, fleeing the area on foot and so far evading police efforts to track him.
Lincoln Police Capt. Tarvis Banks said the robbery occurred around 12:15 p.m. Wednesday at the U.S. Bank near 27th Street and Ticonderoga Drive, a block north of Superior Street.
Banks said the man entered the bank and passed a note to the teller, demanding money. He was not visibly armed at the time of the robbery, Banks said.
The police department deployed K-9 units in an attempt to track the suspect, but nothing came of the effort. Search efforts remain focused on the area immediately surrounding the bank, Banks said.
Officers on scene said the man was seen stuffing money into his clothes in the bushes across Ticonderoga Drive immediately following the robbery.
Police described the suspect as a white man in his 30s or 40s with tattoos on his hands and neck.

At the time of the robbery, the man was wearing a beanie, a white undershirt and a plaid or flannel over-shirt.
And he could be shoeless. Crime scene investigators marked as evidence a pair of slippers left behind near the west side the U.S. Bank parking lot, apparently left behind by the robber.
The Nebraska Bankers Association offers an award of up to $20,000 for information that leads to the apprehension of suspects alleged to be responsible for the robbery of any FDIC-insured institution in the state, said Kara Heideman, the association's communications director.
The association works with local Crime Stoppers or the FBI to pay the informant after a suspect is apprehended, Heideman said. Tips provided to Crime Stoppers remain anonymous.

I was the Lancaster County sheriff at the time, involved both in the investigation and in the trial security. It was at about this time that the cellular telephone was becoming a consumer product, and I have often thought that this brutal crime probably spurred a lot of purchases. During my career, this is probably the second-most-prominent Lincoln crime in terms of the sheer volume of media coverage.
No. 7: Jon Simpson and Jacob Surber
A parent’s worst nightmare unfolded in September 1975 when these two boys, ages 12 and 13, failed to return from the Nebraska State Fair. The boys were the victims of abduction and murder. The case was similar to a string of other murders of young boys in the Midwest, and many thought that these cases were related -- the work of a serial killer. Although an arrest was made in the case here in Lincoln, the charges were eventually dismissed. William Guatney was released and has since died.
No. 8: John Sheedy
Saloon and gambling house owner John Sheedy was gunned down outside his home at 1211 P St. in January 1891. The case of Sheedy, prominent in Lincoln’s demiworld, became the talk of the town when his wife, Mary, and her alleged lover and accomplice, Monday McFarland, were arrested. Both were acquitted at trial. The Sheedy murder is chronicled in a great interactive multimedia website, Gilded Age Plains City, an online version that builds upon an article published in 2001 by Timothy Mahoney of the University of Nebraska.
No. 9: Patricia McGarry and Catherine Brooks
The bodies of these two friends were found in a Northeast Lincoln duplex in August 1977. Their murderer, Robert E. Williams, was the subject of a massive Midwest manhunt during the following week. Before his capture, he committed a third murder in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and raped, shot and left for dead a victim who survived in Minnesota. He is the last man to be executed in Nebraska, sent to the electric chair in 1997.
No. 10: Judge William M. Morning
District Court Judge William Morning was murdered in February 1924. He was shot on the bench by an unhappy litigant in a divorce case. His court reporter, Minor Bacon, was also shot, but a notebook in his breast pocket deflected the bullet and saved his life.
Many other crimes
Choosing Lincoln's 10 most infamous crimes was a challenge. Although the top two were easy, the picture quickly became clouded. We tend, of course, to forget our history rather quickly. Many of the crimes I felt were among the most significant are barely remembered today, if not completely forgotten.
Some readers will take issue with my list. In choosing 10, here are the others I considered, in no particular order. They are all murders:
-- Mary O'Shea
-- Nancy Parker
-- Charles Mulholland
-- Victoria Lamm and Janet Mesner
-- Martina McMenamin
-- Regina Bos (presumably murdered)
-- Patty Webb
-- Marianne Mitzner
I also thought about the five murder-suicides in which a mother or father killed multiple family members before taking their own life. Though tragic, these crimes did not command the same kind of attention as the others, perhaps because there was no lengthy investigation, no tantalizing whodunit, no stranger-killer, nor any of the details that come out in the coverage of a major trial. | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/unarmed-man-at-large-after-robbing-u-s-bank-in-north-lincoln-police-say/article_561842ee-d6db-550b-97e2-8be79521cfb4.html | 2022-07-06T20:26:51 | 0 | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/unarmed-man-at-large-after-robbing-u-s-bank-in-north-lincoln-police-say/article_561842ee-d6db-550b-97e2-8be79521cfb4.html |
PHOENIX — This year's Fourth of July DUI arrests in Arizona decreased slightly from 2021, according to the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.
From Friday through Monday, a total of 419 people were arrested for DUIs. That's 29 fewer people compared to 2021. Eighty-one of those arrests this year were for aggravated DUIs, which is a felony offense that often requires mandatory prison time. In Arizona, an aggravated DUI calls for a minimum of four months in prison along with fines and potential license suspension
Arrests for extreme DUIs, which is when the blood alcohol level is .15 and above, decreased from 103 in 2021 to 75 people this year.
Here is more data from this year’s statistics:
- 338 people were arrested for misdemeanor DUIs
- 112 people were arrested for driving under the influence of drugs
- The average known blood alcohol level of those arrested was .154
- 91 people were cited for distracted driving
- Law enforcement conducted 8,952 traffic stops
In Arizona, a person will be arrested for a DUI if their blood alcohol level is .08 or more, according to ADOT. But there is a chance a person could be found guilty of driving while intoxicated even if their blood alcohol concentration is below the .08 limit.
A first DUI offense in Arizona consists of no less than 10 consecutive days spent in jail, a fine of about $1,250 a requirement to go through alcohol education and screening classes and to operate any vehicle with a certified ignition interlock device, according to ADOT. The device requires the driver to blow into it before attempting to turn on the vehicle and at random intervals while the vehicle is running.

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation Wednesday that will provide $1.2 billion over three years to boost long-term water supplies for the desert state and implement conservation efforts that will see more immediate effects.
The legislation that was hammered out over months during the just-completed legislative session is viewed as the most significant since the state implemented a groundwater protection plan in 1980.
Climate change and a nearly 30-year drought forced the move, which comes as Arizona faces cutbacks in its Colorado River water supply and more loom. The Central Arizona Project canal system is already delivering less water from the river to metro Phoenix, Pinal County and Tucson, and federal officials are warning of even steeper cuts soon.
“These challenges made it necessary for us to act,” the Republican governor said at a signing ceremony in the historic Capitol rotunda. “So today we are taking action to do what the men and women of Arizona hired us to do — position our state for success today, tomorrow and for generations to come.”
The legislation Ducey touted in January to allow the Department of Water Resources oversee the investments morphed over the session and now gives an obscure state entity the authority to leverage and dole out a new $1 billion appropriation.
The entity is called the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority, which will now be a standalone agency with oversight from a new board and some from the Legislature.
Democrats got majority Republicans and the governor to agree to add $200 million for conservation; money that can be used right away for both agricultural efficiency and to cut water use in urban areas.
“Our state is confronted with the realities of climate change, an over allocated Colorado River and decreasing groundwater,” said Sen. Rebecca Rios, the Senate minority leader. “This bill ultimately creates a financial structure to assist with the diverse needs of both urban and rural Arizona.”
House Minority Leader Rep. Reginald Bolding ticked off a list of measures the new water conservation fund could pay for: groundwater recharge, drought resistant landscaping, watershed protection, and efficiency upgrades, as well as rooftop rainwater capture.
The longer-term investments range from pie in the sky to conservative. They include a canal and pipeline to move floodwaters from western Kansas to southern Colorado and into watersheds that end up in Arizona and a nascent plan to help fund a Southern California effort to wastewater and trade it for some of that state's river supply.
Ducey started off the year touting a massive new desalination plant that would augment the state's water supply, but did not mention that in Wednesday's formal remarks. Be he said on KTAR radio earlier in the day that he hopes to have a deal in place by the end of his term in January to build a plant, which is likely to be in Mexico and use water trades to free up more Colorado River water for Arizona. The plant could cost more than $5 billion.
Republican Rep. Gail Griffin called the legislation “historic" with an eye to doing much more than just augment the state's water supplies, but to recharge groundwater aquifers and cut water use to save it for later.
“This is an action plan, it’s just not going to sit on a shelf. We’re going to take it and do great things with it,” she said. “We have funding to bring new water into the state of Arizona. We have funding to address best management practices in our counties, in our cities.”

TEXAS, USA — There's a creepy trend happening along the beaches of south Texas.
While we know many items can wash up on shore, these strange dolls are really turning heads.
The director of the Mission Aransas Reserve says they've spotted dozens of dolls --- some beachgoers even collect them. But, that's not even all... there's a Facebook watch page that sells them.
Recently, the trend caught the eye of HBO's John Oliver who offered up his own solution for what he calls the demon dolls.
"Burn them, burn them now. I hate these dolls i hate them so much," Oliver said. He even did an entire segment on these dolls.
Organizers along the beach actually sell them to raise money for the "amos" rehabilitation keep.
If you're feeling brave and adventurous and just want to see it for yourself, you can pay a visit to the coast. Who knows, you might just spot one to take home. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/burn-them-now-very-creepy-dolls-washing-up-on-texas-beaches-strange-news/273-487c41eb-7f3a-4f1d-b684-e6726b1e6e54 | 2022-07-06T20:33:20 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/burn-them-now-very-creepy-dolls-washing-up-on-texas-beaches-strange-news/273-487c41eb-7f3a-4f1d-b684-e6726b1e6e54 |
DALLAS — Dallas County is reporting the first case of monkeypox that has been transmitted locally.
The Dallas County Health and Human Services said it has confirmed a case of monkeypox in an out-of-state visitor who was in town for the Daddyland Festival over the Fourth of July weekend.
According to officials, the person reported attendance at the festival and other private parties. The visitor went to a Dallas hospital with a rash and was diagnosed with the virus through lab testing.
"Given the size of the Daddyland Festival, others who attended the events could have been exposed to monkeypox and, possibly, infected," the department said in a press release.
The festival included events such as dance parties, pool parties and nightclub events, which pose a high risk of transmission, the department said.
Dallas County had previously reported four monkeypox cases among residents.
Monkeypox symptoms include fever, swollen lymph nodes and general body aches before developing a rash. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county-reports-case-of-monkeypox-transmitted-locally/287-d46cc225-068a-42f6-94e2-9c48934229b4 | 2022-07-06T20:33:27 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county-reports-case-of-monkeypox-transmitted-locally/287-d46cc225-068a-42f6-94e2-9c48934229b4 |
FORT WORTH, Texas — Billy Bob's Texas is getting some upgrades. And you were happy about it.
Our story about the Fort Worth honkytonk's renovation plans – in particular the removal of those two large poles near the main stage – was one of our most-read Tuesday.
We get it. People love Billy Bob's.
And even if country music isn't your thing, it's hard to ignore the history that's passed through those swinging doors.
So let's open up the vault and take a look at 10 moments that made Billy Bob's a Texas institution. All photos are courtesy of Billy Bob's, which has a full timeline of their history here.
April 1981: An April Fool's Opening
Pro tip: If you're worried about making a deadline, set it for April 1.
Billy Bob's scheduled their opening day for April Fool's Day, giving them a backup plan if things fell through or got delayed. Fortunately, everything ran on time.
The opening week featured Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, Waylon Jennings, Janie Fricke and Willie Nelson.
May 1982: George Strait's first show
Before he was the King, George Strait was a house band act at Billy Bob's Texas. He first took the main stage in May 1982, arriving in a pickup truck with a trailer. He wasn't the headliner, opening for Billy Joe Shaver, but his rise to stardom was well underway.
1983: Drinks on Merle
Merle Haggard was quick to become a Billy Bob's regular, and he endeared himself to the crowd. During his show in 1983, he decided to buy a round – for everyone in the building.
The total came out to be 5,095 drinks of Canadian Club Whisky. That was 40 gallons, according to Billy Bob's, for a bar tab total of $12,737.
1984: Signature rhinestone saddle installed
A disco ball with a honkytonk flair. That's what Billy Bob's raised above its dance floor in 1984. The rhinestoned saddle still hangs there today.
1989: Celebrity handprints begin
After shutting down for most of 1988, Billy Bob's returned and started a new tradition: Putting their acts in stone, literally.
The venue started a concrete handprint Wall of Fame, featuring dozens of artists. Billy Bob's also keeps a picture of each set of handprints on its website.
August 1989: Garth Brooks first show
Imagine a world where Garth Brooks plays a concert for $5 per ticket and only 500 people show up. That was the case in August 1989, when the rising country artist played Billy Bob's. That wasn't the case just a short few months later, when Brooks sold out the venue.
Brooks had just released his debut album, headlined by "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)" and "If Tomorrow Never Comes." After that first Billy Bob's show, Brooks signed autographs for anyone who wanted one, and then planted his hands in the concrete Wall of Fame.
August 28, 1998: Pat Green plays first show
For all the mainstream country acts who've played Billy Bob's, the venue has been just as much, if not more, of a home to Texas and Red Dirt stars. Pat Green is a prime example of that.
The Waco native was early in his career when he made his Billy Bob's debut in 1998. He then returned that year to record a live album, the first in the "Live at Billy Bob's Texas" series.
The album was a staple for Green, including his hits "Take Me Out To The Dancehall" and "Southbound 35."
And the series became a staple for Billy Bob's, too. Merle Haggard later recorded a live album at Billy Bob's, followed by many others who became synonymous with the venue, including Billy Joe Shaver, Randy Rogers Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed and Wade Bowen.
August 18, 2001: Ringo Starr visits
Even a Beatle had to check out Billy Bob's.
Ringo Starr, the former drummer for the Beatles, took his All-Starr Band to Billy Bob's in August 2001. Ringo appropriately showed off his collection of Western shirts and asked to watch the bull riding.
It wasn't Ringo's last foray into country music. In 2020, he recorded a song, "Bad Trick," with Dallas native Ray Wylie Hubbard, a longtime regular at Billy Bob's.
Jan. 25, 2014: 16,800 bottles of beer on the wall
Ryan Bingham, the Texas country star and future "Yellowstone" cast member, broke a nearly-30-year record with his performance in January 2014: Most bottles of beer sold at a single show, checking in at 16,800. That's a lot of beer.
The mark broke the record set at Hank Williams Jr.'s show in 1986.
April 2022: The return of Turnpike
Admittedly this author is biased, but the numbers don't lie: The Turnpike Troubadours' return to Billy Bob's in April was one of the highest-in-demand shows in the venue's history.
Turnpike came back from a three-year hiatus this spring and scheduled Billy Bob's as their first Texas show. When tickets went on sale in January, there were 22,000 people on Billy Bob's website trying to get 6,000 tickets, the venue tweeted. Turnpike quickly sold out two shows, and then sold out a later-added third show.
On April 21, they took the stage for the first of three sold-out shows, opening with "Every Girl," one of their biggest hits. The singalong from the crowd was nearly louder than the band. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/tarrant-county/billy-bobs-texas-history-fort-worth-george-strait-first-concert-garth-brooks-stockyards-merle-haggard/287-e09a8b1e-e546-44c5-94af-0ae93da97fe4 | 2022-07-06T20:33:33 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/tarrant-county/billy-bobs-texas-history-fort-worth-george-strait-first-concert-garth-brooks-stockyards-merle-haggard/287-e09a8b1e-e546-44c5-94af-0ae93da97fe4 |
ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Shocking video posted online shows a man caught on camera swapping gas pumps at an AMPM station.
What happens is you *think* you’re putting gas into your car, but the alleged thief has your nozzle and is putting gas into their car while you’re paying for it.
Roseville police are warning of a possible increase in gas theft.
“They, on the other side of the island, are actually using your nozzle to steal gas. We’ve seen a few cases historically where this has worked and we have been able to fortunately catch people,” said Rob Baquera with Roseville Police.
In 2019, Roseville police arrested a man for pulling off the same scheme at least a dozen times. Police suggest taking a moment to verify the hose is connected to the right pump.
Baquera says a spike in gas prices also leads to a spike in gas theft.
“Either through your gas cap, or potentially cutting a hole in your gas tank to drain that fuel out,” he said.
So, what can you do to protect your property? Park in well-lit areas, and when it comes to the gas pump swapping scheme, keep in mind your hose nozzle will always be on the same side as the holster and the hose will never cross over the pump.
Meanwhile, we have some good news about the pain at the pump… Patrick DeHaan (aka the GasBuddy Guy) says crude oil has dropped below $100 a barrel, meaning the national average of gas could fall 35-50 cents in the weeks ahead.
He also says California’s average gas prices are likely to fall under $6/gallon in the next few weeks as long as there are no refinery issues.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Linda Doggett will be the first to tell you she's had a life tougher than most. The single mother suffers from anxiety and depression. Several years ago, she was diagnosed with PTSD.
“I grew up in a very, basically it was an abusive childhood,” Doggett said.
These days she doesn’t go out that often in public and rarely socializes with many people. When she does you will almost always see Sierra Rose by her side.
“(She) helps me try to keep from letting the PTSD and stuff like that overtake me,” Doggett said.
Sierra Rose is a service dog, but to Doggett, she is much more. The dog provides a lifeline to the outside world, a shield that allows her to feel a little safe when navigating a grocery store or social event. Doggett will often start to panic if she is outside around others and Sierra Rose is not there.
“I have chest pain, it’s almost like you’re going to have a heart attack,” Doggett said.
Life is just easier to manipulate and manage when Sierra Rose is around. That includes taking her to counsel and therapy classes to help Doggett cope with her anxiety.
The classes and group meetings often helped, but before one class got started, Doggett experienced a problem she had never imagined.
“I pull in the parking lot, and I walk in the door (and the) lady stood up and said stop,” Doggett said. “You can’t bring your dog inside.”
The instructor asked Doggett to take Sierra Rose outside if she wanted to stay.
“I said that’s against the law and the group (lady) said we can’t control it because it’s not our property,” Doggett said.
The group that Doggett was attending rented or borrowed the property from a different organization and told Doggett it did not have the authorization to allow dogs inside.
Doggett left but immediately reached out to the director of the organization and News 2. She sent us a lengthy email explaining what took place and included information from the US Dept. of Justice pertaining to service animals.
“Just because my medical equipment has four paws, I didn’t feel like I should be discriminated against,” Doggett said.
After receiving the email and speaking with Doggett, we reached out to the organization and spoke with the director. A few days after we spoke, the director sent an email to Doggett letting her know the dog was welcome to attend future meetings.
“What they were doing was totally illegal,” Doggett said. “I’m so grateful I’m extremely grateful.”
Doggett tells News 2 she is doing better but does not go out often unless it’s necessary. She is however grateful Sierra Rose can go with her to her therapy class.
“Thank you very much. I don’t think I could’ve done it without (News 2) help,” Doggett said. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/outreach/therapy-and-recovery-group-denies-access-to-service-dog/83-705eae33-e0f0-48f2-9a95-dcd16740e175 | 2022-07-06T20:41:19 | 0 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/outreach/therapy-and-recovery-group-denies-access-to-service-dog/83-705eae33-e0f0-48f2-9a95-dcd16740e175 |
ARIZONA, USA — Editor's Note: The above video is from an earlier broadcast.
Jacob Chansley of Phoenix, well known as the "QAnon Shaman," has dropped the appeal of his guilty plea and 41-month prison sentence for his role in the Jan. 6 Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Chansley's request to dismiss his appeal was granted Tuesday, according to a filing in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
In November of 2021, a judge sentenced Chansley to 41 months in prison for his role in the Insurrection.
The federal judge's sentencing was 10 months less than what the prosecution in the case was seeking. The judge also gave Chansley credit for time served, making the net sentence around 31 months in prison.
Chansley was described by the prosecution as "the public face of the Capitol riot." He stood out from the rioters who stormed the Capitol, shirtless with a horned headdress at the dais where Vice President Mike Pence had been presiding at the certification of the 2020 election.
"I was wrong for entering the Capitol," Chansley said in a statement expressing his remorse. "I have no excuse. No excuse whatsoever. My behavior’s indefensible. But I'm in no way, shape or form a violent criminal. I'm not an insurrectionist."
In September of 2021, Chansley pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding. During the hearing, the judge determined Chansley is competent. Under a plea deal, five other charges were dropped.
According to court documents, Chansley was among the crowd that passed the police line at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, entering the building while certification proceedings were still underway.
Once on the Senate floor, court documents report that Chansley scaled the Senate dais and took the seat that former Vice President Pence previously occupied. Officials report that Chansley refused to vacate when told to do so by law enforcement, saying “Mike Pence is a [expletive] traitor” and then wrote a note on available paper on the dais, stating “It’s Only A Matter of Time. Justice Is Coming!”
Chansley was arrested on Jan. 9, 2021, and has been in custody ever since. He was ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution and must serve a period of three years of supervised release following completion of his prison term.
Other Arizona arrests in connection to the Capitol riot include James Burton McGrew, Micajah Joel Jackson, Felicia Konold, Cory Konold, Andrew Hatley and Tim Gionet.

BRUNSWICK, Maine — For more than two years as the pandemic dragged on, Alyssa Anani couldn’t do the work she loves most in the world. An actress, singer, and dancer, Anani is finally back to doing live theater this summer, and her face lights up as she talks about it.
“It’s absolutely thrilling,” Anani says. “It was maybe a little scary the first day [of rehearsals] and then, when you’re back in the swing of it with the entire company, it was just like a dream.”
After a two-year layoff, Anani was asked if there was any rust. She paused for a moment before answering.
“Probably a little bit rusty on day one,” she said, leaning in and breaking into laughter. “You’re like, ‘please, is it all still there?’ But I think it’s going well.”
Anani and Jordan Alexander have the lead roles in the Maine State Music Theatre’s current production “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”
Watch our 207 interview to learn more about the show and what they’re bringing to it.

MAINE, USA — The availability of criminal defense attorneys is at an all-time low in Maine for defendants who cannot afford to hire their own attorney.
There are 224 attorneys currently accepting court-appointments to criminal or child protection cases statewide, which is down from 410 lawyers in May 2019, according to the Maine Commission on Indigent Legal Services, or MCILS.
The decrease of available attorneys coincides with an increase in cases where the defendant needs a lawyer appointed at the state’s expense. Lawyers contracted to provide indigent legal services had opened a record 31,257 cases by the last few days of the fiscal year, which exceeds the annual average of approximately 26,500 cases.
The state agency said it has been able to assign an attorney to every case that requires one, but the shortage of eligible lawyers increases the risk that there eventually will be a case that it cannot find counsel for a defendant who is entitled to one, said MCILS Executive Director Justin Andrus.
“The first individual who doesn’t get an attorney, or doesn’t timely get an attorney, is going to be harmed — perhaps irrevocably,” Andrus said. “And while there might be a temptation by some people to look at that and say, ‘Well, it’s only one out of 31,000 cases.’ It’s that person’s one case. It’s their everything.”
The shortage of available lawyers has become an acute issue in some of Maine’s rural areas, including Somerset, Washington and Piscataquis counties.
“224 is not enough. We have attorneys that are qualified but not taking cases,” said Commissioner Donald Alexander, who is a retired judge.
Some attorneys have stopped accepting cases because the courts are assigning them too many cases at once, he said. There is a statewide backlog of unresolved cases and some courts are not accommodating lawyers’ schedules, which is leading to conflicts, he said. The result is less attorneys to spread the record caseload among.
The number of unresolved felony and misdemeanor cases has increased in nearly every court in Maine compared to before the pandemic, according to Judicial Branch data from June 2019 to June 2022.
Commissioner Matthew Morgan, an Augusta-based attorney who is eligible for court-appointed cases, said the backlog and compensation are driving lawyers away.
“Based on my personal experience receiving appointed cases and my conversations with other rostered attorneys there are many reasons for not taking new appointments, but the low hourly rate and having too many existing appointments — often unresolved due to pandemic related delays — are probably the two biggest reasons.”
State lawmakers raised the hourly reimbursement rate for court-appointed attorneys from $60 to $80 an hour in 2021. But they rejected a proposal to raise lawyers’ compensation again to $100 an hour earlier this year.
The majority of commissioners by a voice vote on Tuesday supported proposing a $150 an hour reimbursement rate in 2023 to attract and retain defense attorneys. That proposal would go to the state Legislature during the budget discussions for 2023 and 2024.
Even with a short supply of available lawyers, allegations of professional misconduct have required MCILS to quietly make cuts to protect clients.
Dan Umphrey, an attorney in Caribou, cannot accept new cases to represent the state’s indigent in light of a recommendation in June that his license to practice law be suspended.
A three-person grievance panel of the Board of Overseers of the Bar — a quasi-judicial agency that monitors attorney conduct in Maine — recommended that the state seek to suspend Umphrey’s license following an investigation of a complaint from a former client about his handling of a privately retained case. Bar counsel agreed to pursue the suspension in court following a hearing on June 14.
Umphrey did not attend his hearing and did not respond to the board of overseers’ investigation.
Andrus, as the head of Maine’s public defense agency, also suspended Umphrey on June 23.
“Attorney Umphrey has been determined by the Board of Overseers of the Bar, at least at the moment, to have engaged in conduct that from the perspective of the grievance commission that warrants suspension. That’s not my decision, that’s their decision. Where I have an attorney that’s been subject to those findings, then because of the risk to indigent defendants and their inability to choose their own counsel I needed to do what I did,” said Andrus, who previously worked as an attorney for the board of overseers.
Umphrey didn’t answer a call to the phone number he registered with MCILS and an automated message said the voicemail box had not been set up. Umphrey also did not respond to an emailed request for comment.
Umphrey was previously eligible to represent defendants on the state’s behalf in felony and misdemeanor cases and to work as the “lawyer of the day” to provide legal advice to defendants during their first appearance in court, according to MCILS records.
With Umphrey no longer able to work on court-appointed cases, there are just 15 attorneys who are actively accepting new felony and misdemeanor assignments from the Aroostook County courts, Andrus said. (Though additional attorneys based in Aroostook and other counties are accepting assignments to some specialized case types, such as homicides and sex offenses, in Aroostook County).
The limited pool of attorneys in Aroostook County is a concern, Andrus said.
A recent analysis by MCILS found that 22 defendants had collectively spent in excess of 1,300 days without counsel, including some of who were incarcerated at the Aroostook County Jail without an attorney assigned to represent them and advocate on their behalf.
Court clerks were sometimes delayed in finding an available lawyer even after a judge granted a defendant’s request to be appointed an attorney by the state. MCILS also found that clerks in Aroostook County were appointing some attorneys who were not eligible for certain case types. Andrus said attorneys were asked to withdraw or find qualified co-counsel in each of those cases.
Umphrey worked with the law firm Solman & Hunter in Caribou, Maine at the time of the complaint. The law firm declined to immediately comment and didn’t return a reporter’s message.
Umphrey’s same client was awarded an undisclosed sum of money by the board of overseers’ fee arbitration panel in March.
Maine officials have few options to bolster the stock of attorneys working in rural Maine and long-term solutions are several months away from putting lawyers on the ground.
MCILS has the authority to hire five public defenders with the start of the new fiscal year on July 1. The new positions were approved as part of a bipartisan budget agreement by state lawmakers earlier this year, but the hiring process will likely take several months.
The University of Maine School of Law is also in ongoing discussions about opening a legal aid clinic in Fort Kent — a community in Aroostook County on the Canadian border — for students to work on cases, Andrus said. Provisionally licensed “student lawyers” would work on cases similar to the Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic, which has served the southern Maine counties of Cumberland, York, Sagadahoc and Androscoggin for more than 50 years. The northern clinic is not yet open.
Neither of these plans will immediately add more lawyers on the ground to work on cases in Maine’s rural counties, Andrus concedes.
The solutions that lawmakers should consider are increased pay for court-appointed attorneys so they can afford paralegal and billing assistance, said Commissioner Alexander. The state also needs to look at employing more full-time public defenders to directly work on cases where there are shortages, he said.
“Lots of attorneys are basically doing their practice with a computer and a cell phone,” said Alexander, who warned that’s not enough support.
MCILS is also speaking with professional organizations for Maine lawyers about how to get their members to train and apply to be court-appointed lawyers. A small number of experienced lawyers based in Portland and southern Maine have recently joined the list of eligible attorneys, Andrus said.
But Andrus said he is reluctant to send attorneys from southern Maine to Aroostook County, because of the distance the lawyers would need to travel to meet with their clients. A Portland attorney would need to travel more than 300 miles to attend a court hearing in Fort Kent or 250 miles to see a client in the Aroostook County Jail.
“We are staffing cases, but it continues to get harder,” Andrus said. “And it gets harder because we don’t have enough attorneys that want to be in the program.”

ELBERT COUNTY, Ga. — Authorities are investigating after an explosion destroyed the Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.
They said "unknown individuals" detonated an explosive device at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. The Elbert County Sheriff’s Office responded to discover the explosion destroyed a large portion of the structure, they said.
According to multiple people nearby, the explosion was heard in the area and even shook their homes. Some shared images showing debris near the stones.
A witness who lives about five miles from the site told NBC affiliate WYFF that they heard a boom and it woke them up. They went over to the structures, often referred to as the "American Stonehenge," at daybreak and saw the damage.
NBC affiliate WYFF's helicopter was over the scene and saw pieces of the monument destroyed.
The Elbert County Sheriff's Office asked the GBI to assist with the investigation. GBI's Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit is on scene conducting their examination of the site, they said.
The Georgia Guidestones are inscribed with ten guiding principles, each etched in stone using languages from around the world. The meaning behind the mysterious 19-foot monoliths has been unclear since the structure was built in 1979.
No one knows exactly what the granite slabs are doing in the middle of a cow pasture - or who who put them there more than 40 years ago.
The roadside attraction received renewed attention during Georgia's May 24 gubernatorial primary when third-place Republican candidate Kandiss Taylor claimed the guidestones are satanic and made demolishing them part of her platform.
The Guidestones are about 100 miles from Atlanta in the northeast corner of the state -- not far from the South Carolina border.
Contact the Elbert County Sheriff's Office at (706) 283-2421 or the GBI at (706) 552-2309 if you have any information. Anonymous tips can also be submitted by calling 1-800-597-TIPS (8477) or online.

CASTLEWOOD, Va. (WJHL) – Some Castlewood residents are under a boil water notice after a commercial garage fire Tuesday night.
According to Russell County Emergency Management Agency Director Jess Powers, crews responded to the fire around 9:20 p.m. in the 1900 block of Gravel Lick Road. While extinguishing the fire, crews used 50,000 gallons of water from the tank servicing Red Oak Ridge Road.
As a result, Powers said the tank was drained and a boil water notice was issued.
People living in the area of Red Oak Ridge Road and Gravel Lick Road will be under the notice for at least a few days, Powers told News Channel 11. During that time, the tank servicing the area will be refilled and sampling will be done to ensure that the water is safe.

WISE, Va. (WJHL) — A man has been arrested after a shooting Monday evening in Wise County.
The Wise County Sheriff’s Office has charged Morgan Lee Tompkins, 42 of Pound, with aggravated malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Deputies responded to a reported shooting on Tompkins Road in Pound around 7:14 p.m. Monday.
According to the sheriff’s office, before deputies arrived, a man had been taken to the Dickenson County Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the back of his leg. He was transferred to Johnson City Medical Center for additional treatment and was later released.
Statements obtained by the sheriff’s office indicated that the victim and his girlfriend had gone to Tompkins’ home, where a confrontation took place between Tompkins and the victim. The confrontation escalated and Tompkins fired several rounds, striking the victim in the back of the leg, according to the sheriff’s office.
Tompkins was booked into the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail in Duffield.

Eduardo Uvaldo, a 69-year-old man who was shot, was off life support and fighting for his life at Evanston Hospital, his daughter told CNN on Tuesday.
"Doctors said there's nothing they can do," Karina Uvaldo-Mendez said, but added her father was still breathing on his own. "We need everyone to keep us in their prayers."
Uvaldo was shot in the arm and then the back of the head, according to a verified GoFundMe campaign. His wife and grandson also sustained injuries, Uvaldo-Mendez said.
Uvaldo-Mendez told CNN that her mother got struck with bullet fragments on her forehead and hand and added that while she was physically doing OK, "emotionally, she's distraught."
Eduardo Uvaldo and his wife celebrated 50 years of marriage a few months ago, his daughter said, adding, "his four daughters and my mom were his everything."
Uvaldo-Mendez described her father as hard-working: From time to time he liked to remind his daughters that he worked for 30 years and never missed a single day, she said.
He tended to avoid parades because he doesn't like crowds, she said -- but he did like the one at Highland Park and it was the only one he attended annually.
He will turn 70 on Friday, his daughter said.
Another facility, Highland Park Hospital, received 26 patients, said Dr. Brigham Temple, the medical director of the NorthShore University Health System.
The patients ranged in age from 8 years old to 85 years old, and four or five were children, Temple said.
Barbara Medina, 46, was also injured -- not by gunfire, but by the stampede as people fled the area in an effort to escape the chaos.
Medina was marching in the parade when she heard gunshots, she told CNN. A sea of people rushed toward her, so she dropped a banner she was holding, grabbed her 7-year-old daughter and her scooter and ran. She was separated from her 12-year-old son and her father.
At one point, Medina tripped on her scooter and fell on her left arm. It wasn't until hours later -- and after she made it to safety with her daughter and learned her son and father were also safe -- that Medina went to a medical facility and was diagnosed with a broken proximal radius.
"I'm just grateful that we're all safe," she said. "It'll be a long healing process." | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/officials-id-normal-man-killed-in-june-24-crash/article_4d57655c-fd62-11ec-b146-2b08fcc8e184.html | 2022-07-06T20:50:56 | 0 | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/officials-id-normal-man-killed-in-june-24-crash/article_4d57655c-fd62-11ec-b146-2b08fcc8e184.html |

About 11,800 Indiana Michigan Power customers remained without power in the Fort Wayne area as of 10 a.m. following storms Tuesday and early today, the utility reported.
In a statement, I&M said it has restored service to about 25% of the customers who lost it, and estimated power would be restored to 90% of the customers with outages by 11 p.m. Thursday.
Winds of up to 70 mph in the Fort Wayne area caused trees and limbs to fall, damaging power lines, the statement said. It said the area received 5 to 9 inches of rain in 24 hours, resulting in flooding and standing water.
Restoration may be affected by more rain and storms, traffic issues, flooding and the heat, the statement said.
It said more than 650 workers will be working today to restore service, including some traveling from South Bend, Elkhart and Muncie. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/i-m-11-800-remain-without-power-in-fort-wayne-area/article_45d0f876-fd39-11ec-8216-6b45f7c93da6.html | 2022-07-06T20:58:08 | 1 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/i-m-11-800-remain-without-power-in-fort-wayne-area/article_45d0f876-fd39-11ec-8216-6b45f7c93da6.html |

The TinCaps' game against Lake County today, which was scheduled to start at 12:05 p.m., has been postponed because of weather, the team announced this morning.
The teams will play a doubleheader Saturday to make up for the postponed contest. The twin bill will start at 5:35 p.m. and both games will be seven innings, in accordance with Minor League Baseball rules on doubleheaders. The second game will start approximately half an hour after the end of the first.
Fans who had tickets to today's game may redeem them for a future game at Parkview Field this season. Tickets must be exchanged at the Parkview Field Ticket Office for seats of equal or lesser value, but fans can upgrade based on availability. The team offers no full or partial refunds.
Tickets Saturday will be good for both games of the doubleheader.
The TinCaps and Captains return to action Thursday with a 7:05 p.m. contest.
Late Tuesday night, the storm that blew through Fort Wayne ripped the tarp off the infield at Parkview Field and deposited it in shallow right field, opening the infield to heavy rain, which left significant puddles on the infield dirt. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/wednesdays-tincaps-game-postponed/article_23c4171a-fd41-11ec-a9af-1febd21ba88e.html | 2022-07-06T20:58:27 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/wednesdays-tincaps-game-postponed/article_23c4171a-fd41-11ec-a9af-1febd21ba88e.html |
AKRON, Ohio — As announced on Tuesday, the City of Akron has lifted its downtown curfew, which had been in effect on Monday and Tuesday night.
The curfew, which lasted from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on both nights, came in response to demonstrations regarding the officer-involved shooting death of 25-year-old Jayland Walker. After the City of Akron released disturbing body cam footage that showed eight officers firing several shots at Walker during the June 27 incident on Sunday, approximately 50 people were arrested during protests and demonstrations, some of which resulted in damages to local businesses.
“The curfew was put in place due to safety concerns for our downtown corridor and our residents," Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan said in a statement. "What I want our residents and community to know, is that we aren’t arresting protestors who choose to peacefully protest. Hundreds of citizens have protested in our community for days without incident, and we support their right to do so. In fact, we will take every step to make sure they can continue to do so safely. Those who were arrested were engaged in criminal behavior. They were becoming violent with officers and disrupting the peace which the community has been urging throughout this difficult time in our city. These individuals do not represent the larger gathering of peaceful protests and we won’t let them control the narrative of our community who are voicing their concerns. I continue to urge peace in our city and ask that if you see threats or instances of violence, that you report them.”
No arrests or serious incidents occurred downtown on Monday night, the first night that the curfew went into effect. It remains unclear whether any arrests were made on Tuesday, although the Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that tear gas was deployed by authorities during a demonstration outside of the Summit County Jail.
The incident involving Walker took place just after midnight on Monday, June 27, when officers attempted to pull over Walker’s car for a traffic and equipment violation. Walker proceeded to lead the officers on a high-speed chase down East Tallmadge Avenue toward State Route 8.
At some point during the pursuit, police say that Walker fired a gun out of the window of his car. Among the footage released on Sunday was a traffic video that showed a flash coming out of Walker’s car that they say is consistent with a gunshot.
Following the six-minute-long chase, Walker exited the car on Wilbeth Road near the Bridgestone Tire offices while wearing a black ski mask. The footage shows officers attempting to deploy non-lethal tasers before firing their guns and striking Walker, who was unarmed at the time of the shooting.
Police said that they fired their guns because Walker made a motion that caused them to fear for their lives. Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett said that while it is difficult to see in a real-time viewing of the video, screen captures from the footage show Walker making multiple movements -- including Walker moving his hand to his waist area, turning toward the officers and making a forward motion with his arm -- that he said that each officer involved believed to be Walker moving into a “firing” position.
A gun, magazine round, and gold wedding ring were found in the passenger seat of Walker’s car. Mylett said that officers attempted to perform life-saving aid at the scene before Walker was pronounced dead.
Per department policy, the officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave. Seven of the eight officers involved were white and none had previously faced work-related discipline. Walker is Black.
The incident is being investigated by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/city-of-akron-lifts-downtown-curfew-jayland-walker-protests/95-68ad813c-1aec-4939-90b4-04d946016533 | 2022-07-06T21:00:10 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/city-of-akron-lifts-downtown-curfew-jayland-walker-protests/95-68ad813c-1aec-4939-90b4-04d946016533 |
SCRANTON, Pa. — Lackawanna County District Attorney Mark Powell is taking Commissioner Debi Domenick to court.
The DA says Comm. Domenick got access to hundreds of confidential emails she did not have permission to see.
The Lackawanna County sheriff's office served Comm. Domenick with papers in her office Wednesday afternoon.
Powell filed a civil motion, saying that Domenick went against county policy when she accessed hundreds of emails regarding a criminal investigation.
Powell is asking a county judge to bar Domenick from interfering in any ongoing investigations, particularly by accessing emails from law enforcement, county judges, and prison staff.
According to court paperwork filed by Powell, sometime last month, Domenick told the county's IT director to send her 500 emails regarding an investigation into an employee at the county prison. Some of the emails she wanted were from a county judge. She also allegedly threatened county HR employees who were investigating a prison employee.
Attached to the motion from the DA to prevent Domenick from accessing county emails is the county's director policy manual. It states that no county employee, including commissioners, can use the county's electronic information resources for personal use. Access to the resources can only be used if the employee can provide a reason they need to access them.
In the civil motion, the district attorney states:
"The actions of Commissioner Domenick will have grave consequences if confidential information of ongoing criminal investigations is accessed by anyone other than those involved in investigating those incidents.
"The interference in investigations by Commissioner Domenick is contrary to benefit of the public and inconsistent with performing the duties of the office, to which she took an oath."
Powell said he could not comment on the case.
Domenick had no comment.
A spokesman for the county also said he had no comment.
A Lackawanna County judge will decide what happens next in this case. A hearing is scheduled for August 16.

CLARKS SUMMIT, Pa. — In Lackawanna County, a restaurant is making a statement following the overturn of Roe v Wade.
Ninas Wing Bites and Pizza is having a special; locations in Clarks Summit and Dunmore ran a promotion for a twelve-inch tray of pizza for $5.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to Planned Parenthood.
The female-owned business has seen such a big response for the sale that both locations have almost run out of pizza dough.
