TEXAS, USA — Six new K-9 teams are heading to the Texas border as part of the inaugural class of a new Texas DPS program.
The Texas Highway Patrol Canine Tracking Operations Program is part of new efforts by DPS to secure the border.
"K-9 units have long played an integral role within DPS," DPS Director Steven McCraw said. "We know these newly graduated teams will have a positive impact not only in the areas they serve, but really in keeping all Texans safe."

The six teams completed a five-week training program that focuses on tracking humans across different terrains and long distances.
To prepare for the program, the canines and their handlers ran about 700 different tracks to prepare them for the role.
The handlers also got to learn canine health awareness and medical care techniques to keep them and the animals safe in harsh environments.
The two graduating breeds were three Dutch Shepherds and three Belgian Malinois.
DPS said the K-9 teams will be stationed in Laredo, Del Rio, Uvalde and Hebbronville. | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/texas-dps-k-9-border-teams/285-076cb0e8-1aa6-4e97-84e4-4e2842a48723 | 2022-07-26T17:59:57 | 1 | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/texas-dps-k-9-border-teams/285-076cb0e8-1aa6-4e97-84e4-4e2842a48723 |

DALLAS (KDAF) — More Texans are picking up a set of tools and opting to “do it themselves” according to a new study from StorageCafe.
According to their most recent study looking at the latest home improvement trends, they found that more than half of Americans are relying on themselves for home improvement, with many fixing up their outdoor spaces.
To calculate home improvement trends, officials surveyed about 3,300 Americans, asking them what kind of improvements they made, how much improvements cost, and more.
Here are some of the key findings from Texans:
- 51% of Texans say they sharpened their DIY skills to save more money on home improvements
- The average home improvement project in Texas is around $22,000
Other findings include:
- Bathroom remodeling is one of the most popular home improvement projects
- 47% of homeowners doing remodeling themselves use The Home Depot as their improvement store of choice
- Millennials and baby boomers are the most active generations in home improvement, which about 23% of each generation has done work on their homes recently

DALLAS (KDAF) — The Texas Department of Transportation has a new initiative encouraging drivers to watch out for pedestrians on the roads.
TxDOT will unveil walking ‘human billboards’ in Dallas and Fort Worth as a part of this campaign. This week, North Texans will witness TxDOT street teams walking around high-traffic areas wearing highly visible sandwich boards.
These boards will display messages reminding Texans and pedestrians to follow the rules of the road and to watch out for each other.
Here’s where these billboards will be:
Wednesday, July 27
- 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. — July 27, McKinney Ave. at Fitzhugh Ave., Dallas
- 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. — July 27, Greenville area, Dallas
Thursday, July 28
- 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., July 28, Sundance Square Plaza, Ft. Worth
- 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., July 28, West 7th Street, Ft. Worth
Officials say there were 842 traffic collisions involving pedestrians in Dallas last year. 108 of those led to fatalities and 257 led to serious injuries.
In the last year in Fort Worth, there were 451 traffic collisions with 69 of them being fatal and 148 leading to serious injuries.

MIDLAND, Texas — Midland Animal Shelter Adoptables recently sent 33 rescued dogs to Kansas City in the hopes of getting them a new home.
West Texas has been dealing with an overpopulation of animals in shelters problem for a while now, which is leading to hundreds of animals getting put down.
This transfer was all possible due to the community donations given to MASA. All of the dogs survived the high-kill shelters because of local fosters, and they will stay in foster care in Kansas City until they get adopted.
People can find more pictures of the puppies by going to the Midland Animal Shelter Adoptables Facebook page. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/midland-animal-shelter-adoptables-help-send-33-rescued-dogs-to-kansas-city/513-8fa3d729-271a-429b-aafe-955a5a41f9b0 | 2022-07-26T18:08:07 | 1 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/midland-animal-shelter-adoptables-help-send-33-rescued-dogs-to-kansas-city/513-8fa3d729-271a-429b-aafe-955a5a41f9b0 |
SAN ANTONIO — Apparently, not everyone believes that Blue Bell Ice Cream is the best ice cream in the country. In fact, one food magazine, “Eat This, Not That!,” says the popular Texas treat is among the worst.
New York-based writer Steven John listed Blue Bell, which was founded in Brenham, Texas in 1907, among nine ice cream brands that “use the lowest quality ingredients.”
The article says, "Blue Bell Ice Cream has a popularity problem: according to a Mashed survey, a majority of people find it to be the worst store-bought ice cream. Maybe that's because they have a quality ingredient problem, too."
The writer criticized the company for using food thickening agents such as cellulose gum and vegetable gums in its Homemade Vanilla flavor. He also had a problem with the company’s use of food starch, artificial colors and other ingredients.
"How about just regular milk, cream, and sugar," said Steven John.
While he might say the tasty frozen treat is one of the worst, most Texans will say it's a taste of heaven on earth.

Ceres owner's 'second wild child' fresh pasta restaurant Noodies is NOW OPEN
Editor's note: This story was originally published on March 8, 2022. Noodies opened on April 15, 2022.
Noodies! When owner Carolyn O’Connor says the word out loud, it sounds like a party, a celebration.
The name belongs to her new pasta restaurant, opening later this month, in the space formerly occupied by Bentley’s House of Coffee and Tea. Carolyn is totally re-imagining the place, complete with a mural painted by a friend who happens to experiment with abstract noodle shapes. There isn’t a better word for it than “fun.”
Noodies is a Tucson inheritance. But its lineage, like sister restaurant Ceres, comes from all over. If Ceres is inspired by the pastries and pasta of northern Italy, Noodies draws material from the checkered-tablecloth Italian-American of Syracuse, with some help by way of Hong Kong.
Syracuse is Carolyn’s hometown. It’s where she was pregnant, scrolling Pinterest, when the algorithm realized she needed more brightly-colored images of cha chaan teng — American-style diners in Hong Kong, where you can get condensed-milk French toast and macaroni soup. Those hues inspire the setting of Noodies today, if not the menu.
Though both restaurants share the foundation of Carolyn’s handmade pasta, Carolyn is clear that each restaurant is its own concept. “Ceres always felt like my baby. The first time going into something, everything was really new. Because of that everything feels so precious … Noodies felt almost like having a second child … Noodies is colorful; the food is a little more gluttonous and cheesy. I see it as a wild second child or something.”
While you will be able to get your favorite sauces from Ceres at Noodies — the tomato basil, the bolognese, the cacio e pepe — Noodies’ larger kitchen allows Carolyn to expand the menu. You’ll be able to add Italian sausage, meatballs and burrata to your order. Unlike Ceres’ lunch counter, Noodies will have both indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu will also offer sandwiches Carolyn misses from her hometown, like meatball subs and Italian grinders.
Though Carolyn never thought she would go into the restaurant business — her parents are in academics — her mother’s hospitality inspires Carolyn’s restaurants.
“My mom, she’s a really good cook, and she loves having a real dinner. She sets the table, puts out napkins, does all this stuff, makes a whole beautiful meal and a pie, tea and coffee, so she creates this whole experience for people, and it makes people feel so loved and appreciated. It’s also a legacy in my own family, taking care of people through food,” she said.
The “also” responds to Noodies’ more apparent legacy: Noodies is taking over the lease of her mother-in-law Jo Schneider’s first restaurant, Bentley’s, which occupied that space for over two decades. If Carolyn’s own mother gave her a love for feeding her community, Carolyn’s mother-in-law inspired her to make service her livelihood.
“Going into the restaurant business or being an entrepreneur was so different than what I expected (for my life). The trust (the Schneider family has) put in me, the support, how they’re always there for me, with anything. It’s such a testament to their kindness and generosity. I think Jo does that for a lot of people in this community, giving people a chance when maybe other people wouldn’t, and let them shine,” she said of Jo, who owns downtown’s LaCo.
At both Ceres and Noodies, Carolyn aspires to be that support system for her own employees. She hosts weekly tasting sessions for staff, where they all sample the specials, the soft-serve flavors and give feedback. “Everyone who works there respects everyone else and works really hard. It’s such a good thing for workplace morale. It’s very collaborative, so everyone feels really listened to,” Carolyn said.
“There’s two staff at Ceres who have been there since the day we opened,” she said. “They now know how to do everything. They’re more or less managing Ceres for the shifts, every day … I really wouldn’t have been able to take on the new project without them.”
Workers at Ceres have to be able to do it all: cook pasta and take orders and make espresso — because the space to work is tiny. Though the larger venue at Noodies allows for more specialization, people working in the front versus the back of house, Carolyn aspires for the restaurants to cross-pollinate.
“I have everyone try cooking lunch. I love it so much. It’s really fast … I think a lot of women, especially, are really intimidated to go into a kitchen and work in a line … I think giving people the chance who wouldn’t maybe necessarily think that’s a good fit for them, the opportunity to cook in a fast-paced place, and realize: I could be really good at this.
“We just started accepting resumes for Noodies. I’m not sure what the kitchen will look like, or the front of house. We wrote that all are welcome to apply. I really hope people will.”
Noodies
Location: 1726 E. Speedway
Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday-Monday.

Tucson's new food truck park is tucked into a former gas station parking lot — and the food is incredible
Amber Donahue and Chris Frisch were running a thriving sports therapy business, traveling across the United States with elite athletes, when the pandemic hit.
“Overnight, our jobs were obsolete,” Amber said. “So we started thinking about businesses we could do that were pandemic-proof.”
As they traveled for work, through cities like Austin, Texas; Portland and Bend, Oregon; and Nashville, Tennessee, they noticed these cities each had food truck parks. They liked that the concept had a small footprint: it’s simply making a setting to bring together food trucks and the people who love them. And Tucson, the foodie city where their eldest daughter was recently hired as a high school teacher, didn’t have a food truck park yet.
“We thought we could bring something to this town we loved vacationing in so much,” Amber said.
After nearly a year of development, their new food truck park, The Pit, opened last weekend at 7889 E. 22nd St. “The property used to be a haunted Scooby Doo gas station,” Amber said.
“Remember the gas stations you see in the middle of nowhere? That’s what we walked into,” she said. “We gutted the whole thing and kept it bare: we have coolers full of drinks, a few snacks and decorated it with kitschy awkward family photos, just made it a place that is clean and comfortable.”
The station itself is used as a central bar to complement the sizable outdoor space they cleared of debris and turned into seating. They also built a stage for live music on weekends and have plans in the works to install misters and build more shade for the summer. Many of their materials were sourced from community donations, from families and local businesses.
“We want this to be a place people can come in the evening,” Amber said.
The business partners decided on a rotating food truck schedule so people who live in the area can experience a variety of different vendors. Harris Hotstuff, a made-to-order barbecue truck, is only set up on the weekends, while you can get Hermanos Tacos and Lebanese food truck Homemade Mediterranean during the week.
“The woman who runs Homemade Mediterranean is the hardest working person I know,” Amber said.
Amber and Chris will soon be adding a Jamaican food truck, and are looking for a pizza truck and a truck that does Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Filipino noodle dishes.
Though the two divorced seven years ago, they are involved co-parents. Last year, they bought homes near each other, both in the Catalina Foothills School District. “Our success is based on building a legacy for our children, which is something we both agree with, always,” Amber said.
When I visited, every single thing I tried stood out as one of the best meals I’ve eaten all year. I was amazed at the curated selection of food trucks.
When I asked co-owner Chris about it, he said that the park has a special culture. Everyone is super kind and they help each other out. “We open up in the mornings, Homemade Mediterranean locks up at night. Cuppa GoGo helps clean the bathrooms. We all pitch in,” he said.
The result is a tight community of vendors, each with outstanding customer service and even more special food.
The Pit is currently home to six regular trucks, with three more coming soon, and seven visiting trucks. Here’s what you can get:
Homemade Mediterranean
This Lebanese sandwich place, Homemade Mediterranean, is simply amazing. I will be going back to try every item on their curated menu. I ordered their koefte sandwich, which is a vibrantly spiced beef patty tucked into a pita that rivals Tucson’s best flour tortillas: thin and almost laminated in its flakiness, but with a slightly more bready texture. The condiments are also stars: slightly sweet, slightly umami pickle with parsley salsa and tomato.
They had an extra falafel lying around when I stopped by and they let me try that too: perfectly crunchy with a slightly softer inside, with a dusting of sesame seeds. In my humble opinion, Lebanese hummus is the best of the Mediterranean, and I can only imagine how yummy their falafel sandwich with hummus and tahini must be.
I also got a side of fries, which I habitually get alongside Mediterranean food. I need to research why the region has french fries down pat: somehow they get extra crunchy on the outside, with a custardy middle. Heavenly.
Homemade Mediterranean is open 12:30-9 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and 12:30-6 p.m. Sunday.
Bemo’s Ol’ Joe’s
Stop by Bemo's Ol' Joe's and you might find the now-closed Hog Pit co-owner, Les Baxter, sitting in a folding chair, welcoming you with a big smile. He's teamed up with chef Donald Adkins to bring you a food-truck concept with a pared-down menu, but full-volume flavor. Donald insisted I try the tot-chos, which were over-the-top in exactly the best way.
Tot-chos consist of five layers. The base, of course, are tater tots — fried, not baked. Tots’ signature riced texture and substantial crust will hold up to the hearty toppings: first a layer of melted sprinkle cheese, then a generous portion of melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork, doused in sauce and finished with a serving of slaw. While each ingredient is indulgent, they are in such perfect ratio that each bite is in harmony. I loved this place.
On my way out of The Pit, I saw someone eating a chicken sandwich from Bemo’s. I asked her how she liked it. To my surprise, she puckered her face like she was about to come up with the worst insult she possibly could, and delivered one line: “I wish there was more sauce.”
Bemo’s Ol’ Joe’s is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
Hermanos Tacos
Trust me when I’ve said, I’ve eaten a lot of carne asada.
Hermanos has the real deal: succulent, a little chewy but tender, with a little crisp on some of the edges. The flour tortillas are thin, stretchy and just substantial enough to deliver the meat, pico and a splash of bright green salsa to your eager taste buds.
The one-man operation also makes impressive-looking raspados, as I witnessed from the woman who ordered in front of me, then hopped back in her truck, raspado in hand. I was so jealous.
This place is cash only, so keep that in mind.
Hermanos Tacos is open 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
Other food trucks on the regular roster:
- Cuppa GoGo — Coffee with syrups and sauces made from scratch, open 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily
- Moncho's Mex — Tacos, burros, quesadillas and more Mexican favorites, open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday-Monday
- Harris Hotstuff — Made-to-order barbecue, open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday

UVALDE, Texas — Following county commissioners' footsteps, the Uvalde CISD School Board on Monday evening unanimously approved sending Gov. Greg Abbott a resolution urging him to convene a special Texas Legislative session to discuss raising the age to buy assault rifles from 18 to 21.
The gunman in the Robb massacre used an AR-15 to kill 19 students and two teachers, and was 18 years old.
“There’s no reason for an 18-year-old to have something like that," Superintendent Hal Harrell said.
Trustees also unanimously approved a revised academic calendar that pushes the start of the upcoming school year back by three weeks, allowing Uvalde CISD enough time to gather mobile learning pods and other resources to accommodate former Robb Elementary students who will be learning elsewhere. The first day of school is now set for Sept. 6.
Speaking later about plans for campuses ahead of the new school year, Harrell said one-entry facilities are a priority for the district, as are bulletproof windows and fixing communication gaps.
A 45-minute period of public comment preceded Monday's business, during which community members once again criticized, questioned and pleaded the board for accountability. One woman said residents were fed up that little tangible action has been taken in the two months since Robb.
Another woman identified herself as a bus driver for the district, saying she and her colleagues were unprepared for what transpired on May 24 and suggesting the transportation team be included in future training.
Perhaps the meeting's most dramatic moment came early, when a large number of attendees decried a public commenter who defended the district, in an attempt to create unity.
A Mexican-born woman who came to Uvalde as a child, she said she attended every school in the district.
“I support the district greatly, because I know from experience that you cannot get very far in this life without an education at all,” she said. “When we are completely involved in grief and we are mad… we can say things, we can do things that are completely out of character.”
By the time she was done speaking, over a dozen attendees had filed out of the auditorium where the meeting was held.
The meeting is trustees' first since postponing a Saturday-morning discussion over whether or not to fire embattled district Police Chief Pete Arredondo, whose termination has been recommended by the superintendent.
What happened last week?
At last week's open-format, often tense meeting, Uvalde community members and parents of Robb shooting victims ripped into district leaders and called for accountability. They specifically decried district Police Chief Pete Arredondo's continued employment with the district, and one mother of four said it was time for the district "to clean house" and hire new police officers.
In response, Superintendent Hal Harrell said he would continue to consider how to best secure Uvalde CISD campuses.

Raytheon Technologies Corp. on Tuesday posted higher second-quarter profits but revenue fell short of expectations as declines at its defense businesses were offset by gains at its commercial aerospace units.
The parent of Tucson-based Raytheon Missiles & Defense reported net income of $1.3 billion, or 88 cents per share, up 25% from second-quarter 2021, or $1.16 per share adjusted for one-time charges and acquisition accounting adjustments.
Second-quarter revenue rose 3% to $16.3 billion, buoyed by double-digit sales gains at Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney.
The earnings results beat Wall Street analysts’ average forecast of adjusted earnings by 4 cents, but revenue fell short and Raytheon shares were down about 3% in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Second-quarter sales at Missiles & Defense were $3.6 billion, down 11% from the same quarter a year ago, while operating profit fell 35% to $348 million.

The decrease in sales was driven mainly by continuing supply-chain constraints and expected declines on certain land-warfare and air-defense programs, partially offset by higher volume on SPY-6 radar production and Next Generation Interceptor development, the company said.
Major contract bookings during the quarter included $662 million for Stinger surface-to-air missile replenishment for the Army, $648 million for Standard Missile-3 missile interceptors and $423 million for a SPY-6 production for the Navy.
Raytheon Intelligence & Space had second-quarter 2022 adjusted sales of $3.6 billion, down 6% mainly due to the divestiture of a training and services business, while operating profit fell 24%.
But Collins Aerospace saw its second-quarter sales rise 10%, to $5 billion, as commercial aftermarket sales of aircraft components jumped 25% and original-equipment orders rose 14%.
Jet-engine maker Pratt & Whitney posted second-quarter sales of nearly $5 billion, up 16% from the prior year, while operating profit rose more than 200% to $303 million.

Ceres owner's 'second wild child' fresh pasta restaurant Noodies is NOW OPEN
Editor's note: This story was originally published on March 8, 2022. Noodies opened on April 15, 2022.
Noodies! When owner Carolyn O’Connor says the word out loud, it sounds like a party, a celebration.
The name belongs to her new pasta restaurant, opening later this month, in the space formerly occupied by Bentley’s House of Coffee and Tea. Carolyn is totally re-imagining the place, complete with a mural painted by a friend who happens to experiment with abstract noodle shapes. There isn’t a better word for it than “fun.”
Noodies is a Tucson inheritance. But its lineage, like sister restaurant Ceres, comes from all over. If Ceres is inspired by the pastries and pasta of northern Italy, Noodies draws material from the checkered-tablecloth Italian-American of Syracuse, with some help by way of Hong Kong.
Syracuse is Carolyn’s hometown. It’s where she was pregnant, scrolling Pinterest, when the algorithm realized she needed more brightly-colored images of cha chaan teng — American-style diners in Hong Kong, where you can get condensed-milk French toast and macaroni soup. Those hues inspire the setting of Noodies today, if not the menu.
Though both restaurants share the foundation of Carolyn’s handmade pasta, Carolyn is clear that each restaurant is its own concept. “Ceres always felt like my baby. The first time going into something, everything was really new. Because of that everything feels so precious … Noodies felt almost like having a second child … Noodies is colorful; the food is a little more gluttonous and cheesy. I see it as a wild second child or something.”
While you will be able to get your favorite sauces from Ceres at Noodies — the tomato basil, the bolognese, the cacio e pepe — Noodies’ larger kitchen allows Carolyn to expand the menu. You’ll be able to add Italian sausage, meatballs and burrata to your order. Unlike Ceres’ lunch counter, Noodies will have both indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu will also offer sandwiches Carolyn misses from her hometown, like meatball subs and Italian grinders.
Though Carolyn never thought she would go into the restaurant business — her parents are in academics — her mother’s hospitality inspires Carolyn’s restaurants.
“My mom, she’s a really good cook, and she loves having a real dinner. She sets the table, puts out napkins, does all this stuff, makes a whole beautiful meal and a pie, tea and coffee, so she creates this whole experience for people, and it makes people feel so loved and appreciated. It’s also a legacy in my own family, taking care of people through food,” she said.
The “also” responds to Noodies’ more apparent legacy: Noodies is taking over the lease of her mother-in-law Jo Schneider’s first restaurant, Bentley’s, which occupied that space for over two decades. If Carolyn’s own mother gave her a love for feeding her community, Carolyn’s mother-in-law inspired her to make service her livelihood.
“Going into the restaurant business or being an entrepreneur was so different than what I expected (for my life). The trust (the Schneider family has) put in me, the support, how they’re always there for me, with anything. It’s such a testament to their kindness and generosity. I think Jo does that for a lot of people in this community, giving people a chance when maybe other people wouldn’t, and let them shine,” she said of Jo, who owns downtown’s LaCo.
At both Ceres and Noodies, Carolyn aspires to be that support system for her own employees. She hosts weekly tasting sessions for staff, where they all sample the specials, the soft-serve flavors and give feedback. “Everyone who works there respects everyone else and works really hard. It’s such a good thing for workplace morale. It’s very collaborative, so everyone feels really listened to,” Carolyn said.
“There’s two staff at Ceres who have been there since the day we opened,” she said. “They now know how to do everything. They’re more or less managing Ceres for the shifts, every day … I really wouldn’t have been able to take on the new project without them.”
Workers at Ceres have to be able to do it all: cook pasta and take orders and make espresso — because the space to work is tiny. Though the larger venue at Noodies allows for more specialization, people working in the front versus the back of house, Carolyn aspires for the restaurants to cross-pollinate.
“I have everyone try cooking lunch. I love it so much. It’s really fast … I think a lot of women, especially, are really intimidated to go into a kitchen and work in a line … I think giving people the chance who wouldn’t maybe necessarily think that’s a good fit for them, the opportunity to cook in a fast-paced place, and realize: I could be really good at this.
“We just started accepting resumes for Noodies. I’m not sure what the kitchen will look like, or the front of house. We wrote that all are welcome to apply. I really hope people will.”

Location: 1726 E. Speedway
Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday-Monday.

Tucson's new food truck park is tucked into a former gas station parking lot — and the food is incredible
Amber Donahue and Chris Frisch were running a thriving sports therapy business, traveling across the United States with elite athletes, when the pandemic hit.
“Overnight, our jobs were obsolete,” Amber said. “So we started thinking about businesses we could do that were pandemic-proof.”
As they traveled for work, through cities like Austin, Texas; Portland and Bend, Oregon; and Nashville, Tennessee, they noticed these cities each had food truck parks. They liked that the concept had a small footprint: it’s simply making a setting to bring together food trucks and the people who love them. And Tucson, the foodie city where their eldest daughter was recently hired as a high school teacher, didn’t have a food truck park yet.
“We thought we could bring something to this town we loved vacationing in so much,” Amber said.
After nearly a year of development, their new food truck park, The Pit, opened last weekend at 7889 E. 22nd St. “The property used to be a haunted Scooby Doo gas station,” Amber said.
“Remember the gas stations you see in the middle of nowhere? That’s what we walked into,” she said. “We gutted the whole thing and kept it bare: we have coolers full of drinks, a few snacks and decorated it with kitschy awkward family photos, just made it a place that is clean and comfortable.”
The station itself is used as a central bar to complement the sizable outdoor space they cleared of debris and turned into seating. They also built a stage for live music on weekends and have plans in the works to install misters and build more shade for the summer. Many of their materials were sourced from community donations, from families and local businesses.
“We want this to be a place people can come in the evening,” Amber said.
The business partners decided on a rotating food truck schedule so people who live in the area can experience a variety of different vendors. Harris Hotstuff, a made-to-order barbecue truck, is only set up on the weekends, while you can get Hermanos Tacos and Lebanese food truck Homemade Mediterranean during the week.
“The woman who runs Homemade Mediterranean is the hardest working person I know,” Amber said.
Amber and Chris will soon be adding a Jamaican food truck, and are looking for a pizza truck and a truck that does Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Filipino noodle dishes.
Though the two divorced seven years ago, they are involved co-parents. Last year, they bought homes near each other, both in the Catalina Foothills School District. “Our success is based on building a legacy for our children, which is something we both agree with, always,” Amber said.
When I visited, every single thing I tried stood out as one of the best meals I’ve eaten all year. I was amazed at the curated selection of food trucks.
When I asked co-owner Chris about it, he said that the park has a special culture. Everyone is super kind and they help each other out. “We open up in the mornings, Homemade Mediterranean locks up at night. Cuppa GoGo helps clean the bathrooms. We all pitch in,” he said.
The result is a tight community of vendors, each with outstanding customer service and even more special food.
The Pit is currently home to six regular trucks, with three more coming soon, and seven visiting trucks. Here’s what you can get:
Homemade Mediterranean
This Lebanese sandwich place, Homemade Mediterranean, is simply amazing. I will be going back to try every item on their curated menu. I ordered their koefte sandwich, which is a vibrantly spiced beef patty tucked into a pita that rivals Tucson’s best flour tortillas: thin and almost laminated in its flakiness, but with a slightly more bready texture. The condiments are also stars: slightly sweet, slightly umami pickle with parsley salsa and tomato.
They had an extra falafel lying around when I stopped by and they let me try that too: perfectly crunchy with a slightly softer inside, with a dusting of sesame seeds. In my humble opinion, Lebanese hummus is the best of the Mediterranean, and I can only imagine how yummy their falafel sandwich with hummus and tahini must be.
I also got a side of fries, which I habitually get alongside Mediterranean food. I need to research why the region has french fries down pat: somehow they get extra crunchy on the outside, with a custardy middle. Heavenly.
Homemade Mediterranean is open 12:30-9 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and 12:30-6 p.m. Sunday.
Bemo’s Ol’ Joe’s
Stop by Bemo's Ol' Joe's and you might find the now-closed Hog Pit co-owner, Les Baxter, sitting in a folding chair, welcoming you with a big smile. He's teamed up with chef Donald Adkins to bring you a food-truck concept with a pared-down menu, but full-volume flavor. Donald insisted I try the tot-chos, which were over-the-top in exactly the best way.
Tot-chos consist of five layers. The base, of course, are tater tots — fried, not baked. Tots’ signature riced texture and substantial crust will hold up to the hearty toppings: first a layer of melted sprinkle cheese, then a generous portion of melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork, doused in sauce and finished with a serving of slaw. While each ingredient is indulgent, they are in such perfect ratio that each bite is in harmony. I loved this place.
On my way out of The Pit, I saw someone eating a chicken sandwich from Bemo’s. I asked her how she liked it. To my surprise, she puckered her face like she was about to come up with the worst insult she possibly could, and delivered one line: “I wish there was more sauce.”
Bemo’s Ol’ Joe’s is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
Hermanos Tacos
Trust me when I’ve said, I’ve eaten a lot of carne asada.
Hermanos has the real deal: succulent, a little chewy but tender, with a little crisp on some of the edges. The flour tortillas are thin, stretchy and just substantial enough to deliver the meat, pico and a splash of bright green salsa to your eager taste buds.
The one-man operation also makes impressive-looking raspados, as I witnessed from the woman who ordered in front of me, then hopped back in her truck, raspado in hand. I was so jealous.
This place is cash only, so keep that in mind.
Hermanos Tacos is open 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
Other food trucks on the regular roster:
- Cuppa GoGo — Coffee with syrups and sauces made from scratch, open 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily
- Moncho's Mex — Tacos, burros, quesadillas and more Mexican favorites, open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday-Monday
- Harris Hotstuff — Made-to-order barbecue, open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday
Coming soon: Jamaican, Italian and sushi! | https://tucson.com/news/local/new-raising-canes-location-opens-in-tucson/article_9dc230a6-0cfa-11ed-8683-2bbe443df07a.html | 2022-07-26T18:08:36 | 0 | https://tucson.com/news/local/new-raising-canes-location-opens-in-tucson/article_9dc230a6-0cfa-11ed-8683-2bbe443df07a.html |
BLOOMINGTON — A man faces a felony charge of aggravated battery after prosecutors say he resisted arrest and hurt a Normal police officer this weekend.
Brian L. Garcia, 38, is charged with aggravated battery, a Class 2 felony, and resisting a peace officer, a Class A misdemeanor. Court records list a Texas address but he included an address in Normal on his affidavit.
Garcia was found in his vehicle by Normal police on Sunday while asleep and intoxicated, Assistant State's Attorney Aaron Frederick said in court on Monday.
Court documents allege that Garcia struggled against officers while being handcuffed to a bench in the DUI processing area at the police station, and that that he grabbed and twisted the fingers of a uniformed officer, hurting the officer.
Bond for Garcia was set at $5,000, meaning he would need to pay $500 to be released. His next court appearance is an arraignment on Aug. 19.

CULLMAN, Ala. (WHNT) — One expansion project is finished and another is underway at Cullman Regional Medical Center.
Tuesday morning, hospital officials cut the ribbon on a $9.5 million expansion of the hospital’s emergency room. The expansion added 17 treatment rooms, three trauma rooms, a dedicated behavioral health care area with nine rooms, and a larger, more modern waiting area.
With the expansion, ER capacity is up 80% and the hospital took advantage of the project to build some new areas from the ground up or renovate existing ones; 6,021 additional square feet was added during the project.
The expansion came at a good time for the hospital – increasing visits have pushed the ER to its limit; officials said the ER had been operating slightly over-capacity for the last several years. With population continuing to increase across North and Central Alabama, hospital leadership needed to stay ahead of the curve.
A four-story tower addition is also underway – this will double the size of Cullman Regional’s critical care unit and add more beds to the surgery department. Hospital officials expect the tower to be finished in 2023. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/cullman-regional-medical-center-expanding-facilities/ | 2022-07-26T18:24:05 | 0 | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/cullman-regional-medical-center-expanding-facilities/ |
SAN ANTONIO — Apparently, not everyone believes that Blue Bell Ice Cream is the best ice cream in the country. In fact, one food magazine, “Eat This, Not That!,” says the popular Texas treat is among the worst.
New York-based writer Steven John listed Blue Bell, which was founded in Brenham, Texas in 1907, among nine ice cream brands that “use the lowest quality ingredients.”
The article says, "Blue Bell Ice Cream has a popularity problem: according to a Mashed survey, a majority of people find it to be the worst store-bought ice cream. Maybe that's because they have a quality ingredient problem, too."
The writer criticized the company for using food thickening agents such as cellulose gum and vegetable gums in its Homemade Vanilla flavor. He also had a problem with the company’s use of food starch, artificial colors and other ingredients.
"How about just regular milk, cream, and sugar," said Steven John.
While he might say the tasty frozen treat is one of the worst, most Texans will say it's a taste of heaven on earth.
Have you tried any of their new flavors yet?

TEMPLE, Texas — The trial for former Temple police officer Carmen DeCruz won't begin until Jan. 23, 2023, a Bell County judge ruled Monday.
DeCruz is charged with second degree manslaughter for the shooting death of Michael Dean, 28, in Temple in 2019.
According to the court coordinator for the 264th District Court, the trial was delayed at the request of both the defense and prosecuting attorneys. This is not the first time the trial has been delayed.
RELATED: Bell County jury trial backlog delays trial of officer who reportedly shot, killed Michael Dean
DeCruz is accused of shooting Dean during a traffic stop. A police affidavit states DeCruz shot Dean in the head while reaching in Dean's vehicle to grab his keys.
DeCruz was seen on body camera video walking in front of his patrol vehicle during a traffic stop with his handgun drawn. DeCruz made contact with Dean on the passenger side of the car and ordered Dean to turn off the vehicle and give him the keys, according to the affidavit.
DeCruz is seen reaching into the vehicle in an attempt to gain control of the keys with his left hand while holding his firearm in his right hand. DeCruz had the gun pointed at Dean with his finger on the trigger, according to the affidavit.
While DeCruz pulled the keys with his left hand, his right hand also pulled backward and caused the handgun to fire, striking Michael dean in the head, the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, the video shows DeCruz pulling Dean from the vehicle and other responding officers administered medical aid until medics arrived. Dean was pronounced dead at the scene.
DeCruz is currently out on bond. | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/local/trial-delayed-again-for-former-temple-cop-charged-in-shooting-death-of-michael-dean/500-24cb6b16-d140-4774-ad8a-7812355c0c18 | 2022-07-26T18:25:16 | 1 | https://www.kcentv.com/article/news/local/trial-delayed-again-for-former-temple-cop-charged-in-shooting-death-of-michael-dean/500-24cb6b16-d140-4774-ad8a-7812355c0c18 |
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — This Saturday, July 23, Convoy of Hope Wichita returns to offer school supplies and food for parents and students in the area.
This event will act as a drive-thru. Parents will drive up to the event, along with their student(s), and collect their backpack(s), groceries, and welcome packet. The backpacks will be filled with essential school supplies, such as pencils and notebooks.
“The backpacks are divided between elementary and middle school and high school. So if you are in elementary or high school, there is an option for you. Not everybody will get the same supplies because we know that each grade is different,” said Denise Romero, a community health worker at Evergreen, one of the locations for the Convoy of Hope event.
Convoy of Hope is a faith-based organization focused on identifying solutions to the root causes of poverty and hunger, helping to reduce financial stress and feed the world.
“This is the least we can do for the community, and so many people are grateful. It’s worth it,” said Trinady Smith, a Convoy of Hope volunteer and sophomore at Derby High School. “It’s worth all the work that you go through to see the smile and tears from a mother’s face who is struggling.”
“It’s non-stop work. We see that it’s not much of a need but more of a necessity. It’s a necessity for our residents to also benefit from this big event and these big giveaways,” said Romero. “We see that prices are high. Everything is going up, and that includes, you know, backpacks, school supplies. So for us, we’re very blessed to keep on blessing our community.”
During this event, Wichita’s Convoy of Hope will be stationed at nine different locations around the state:
“You know we started this with one location and 900 backpacks, and here we are. This is our 10th year. So it is 10 years later 9,250 backpacks in 9 locations,” said Stacie Cathcart with the Convoy of Hope.
Over 9,000 backpacks will be available in total across all locations. The Evergreen location is expected to have 700-800 backpacks available.
“We are very happy that this work keeps expanding, and because we see the necessity in other neighborhoods, now it’s nine locations, that includes outside of Wichita. We have Newton. We also have Valley Center that’s participating and other further locations. And we’re just really really happy and contained that this is a possibility,” Romero said.
Item distribution will begin between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. Anyone who would like to arrive early can begin parking and lining up at 7 a.m. Parents must bring their students with them in order to receive the delivery of school supplies.
“But there is no other requirements, no proof of income. You get in line and go through the process,” said Cathcart.
If you are unable to attend the event, you can always reach out to Bethel Life Center or any of the listed participating sites to see if they still have supplies left.

SEDGWICK COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) — A security bombshell from the Sedgwick County Sherriff’s Office was released Thursday: a deputy was fired and arrested, resulting in a major security sweep of the entire jail.
Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter says the fired jail deputy, Dustin Burnett, was on duty Sunday and saw inmates break contraband into the facility but did nothing to stop it or report it.
Easter says two cellphones and marijuana did get in. Three other drops (including an attempt to bring in a handgun) were scheduled but did not happen. It was all part of an attempt to cause a riot similar to the one last week at the Lansing Correctional Facility.
Last night, almost 170 deputies searched the entire facility for about six hours. They found a handcuff key, two shanks, and a butane lighter, along with the drug K-2 and fake Percocet pills laced with fentanyl.
Over the surveillance cameras in one jail pod, authorities saw an inmate lying on the ground in relation to a drug issue as another inmate gave him CPR.
1,469 inmates are in the Sedgwick County Jail, and that puts the jail over capacity. That’s why several county commissioners and the county manager say the problem has gone beyond a regular staffing shortage—some even calling it a staffing emergency.
“We had a really sobering presentation from the Sheriff,” said District 1 Sedgwick County Commissioner Pete Meitzner.
Calls for change from several commissioners happened Thursday night as a result of what transpired this week at the jail.
“There are requirements by state law how many, you know, how many inmates can one person watch, and we’re really not able to comply with that right now,” said District 5 Sedgwick County Commissioner Jim Howell.
Commissioner Howell says the jail needs at least 110 positions filled, which equates to a 49% vacancy rate.
“It’s already an emergency. We certainly can’t let it get any worse,” said Commissioner Howell.
Sedgwick County Manager Tom Stolz echoed those sentiments, adding the county needs to reevaluate how the community tackles crime as a whole.
“He needs the cooperation from the police departments, so we quit feeding so much into the jail,” said Stolz. “And then he needs cooperation from judges to move people out of the jail quickly.”
Commissioner Meitzner says the pandemic was the tipping point leading to the current crisis.
“A lot of people transferred out,” said Commissioner Meitzner. “We didn’t have the pipeline of people applying. So I think the two years of COVID and then the fallout from that has just been — that’s how it got there.”
Commissioner Howell says pay is also contributing to the problem.
“This inflation is, is impacting government. No one is, is able to pay last year’s wages,” said Commissioner Howell.
The Sheriff’s Office requested the commission increase the starting hourly rate for jail staff to $23.50 via a contingency fund in an attempt to alleviate burnout.
“We will be addressing that, his staffing concerns and his compensation concerns, over the next couple of weeks,” said Stolz.
“I think we can help him stop the staff problem that he’s got. At least, you know, put a Band-Aid on it,” Commissioner Meitzner said.
Commissioner Howell says there needs to be a thorough review of the entire jail system from top to bottom. Meanwhile, Commissioner Meitzner is hopeful more cameras coming online in the jail soon will help. Those will be implemented in the next 60-90 days. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/its-already-an-emergency-sedgwick-county-jail-facing-major-staffing-concerns/ | 2022-07-26T18:25:25 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/its-already-an-emergency-sedgwick-county-jail-facing-major-staffing-concerns/ |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (KSNW) — Ava Jones, a star basketball player from Nickerson, is “shootin'” hoops in rehab.
This comes after she and her family were hit by an alleged impaired driver while in Louisville on Tuesday, July 5, for a basketball tournament.
Ava’s dad, Trey Jones, died due to his injuries. Her mom, Amy Jones, also suffered critical injuries. The University of Louisville Health reports Ava and Amy have since been upgraded to fair condition.
Hunter Jones, Ava’s older brother, reports his mom and sister are now both in rehab.
“[Ava]’s already over there shootin’,” said Hunter.
He says it has been up and down for the two but that it has been a good couple of days.
“For the most part, the last couple days been up,” Hunter said. “Just cause some days they kind of stall out, and you know, there’s not much change, but then days like this you get to see improvements.”
Hunter says all the love and support he and his family are receiving are what is pulling them through this.
If you would like to donate to the Jones family, you can do so through a GoFundMe set up for the family. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/video-ava-jones-shootin-hoops-in-rehab/ | 2022-07-26T18:25:32 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/video-ava-jones-shootin-hoops-in-rehab/ |

An off-duty NYPD officer was shoved to subway tracks in Manhattan in an apparently unprovoked attack ahead of Monday's afternoon rush, authorities and law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the case said Tuesday.
Police say the 40-year-old cop was blindsided by the come-from-behind stranger shove as he waited on the northbound 2/3 platform in Tribeca's Park Place station shortly before 4 p.m.
The victim fell to the platform floor and managed not to fall forward into the path of an oncoming train as it pulled into the station. The suspect got on that train and allegedly yelled profanity at the victim as the subway pulled out.
Police released surveillance footage (above) that they say shows him hopping a turnstile, illegally, just before the incident.
The officer had some minor leg injuries and refused medical attention at the scene.
Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/off-duty-cop-shoved-on-manhattan-subway-platform-narrowly-misses-train-sources/3795238/ | 2022-07-26T18:33:55 | 1 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/off-duty-cop-shoved-on-manhattan-subway-platform-narrowly-misses-train-sources/3795238/ |
FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) - A new $850,000 grant will help the Flint Police Department solve cold cases, get illegal guns off the street, develop a witness protection program and more.
Mayor Sheldon Neeley announced the grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation on Tuesday to boost the police department's efforts to combat violent crime in Flint.
Neeley said he requested additional help from the community after a violent Memorial Day weekend at the start of summer with four shootings reported over about 24 hours.
“I am thankful for the Mott Foundation’s support in addressing our urgent need to curb violent crime in our city,” Neeley said. “This grant provides crucial tools for increasing the capacity of our personnel and enhancing our public safety infrastructure.”
The latest crime statistics from the Flint Police Department show a 25% decrease in violent crimes so far in 2022 compared to this time last year. But Neeley pointed out that violent crime rates remain too high citywide.
“The Mott Foundation cares deeply about the safety of all Flint residents in all Flint neighborhoods, and residents have repeatedly told us that public safety continues to be a top priority for them,” said Ridgway White, president and CEO of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
The grant will provide funding for five major initiatives:
- A gun bounty program, which will allow residents to sell automatic weapons to the Flint Police Department for cash on the spot with no questions asked. Neeley said all weapons collected from the program will be destroyed.
- Three analysts in the Flint Police Department Intelligence Center, who can monitor live surveillance cameras and a fleet of drones 24 hours a day. Police credit the center for stopping a potential attack the General Motors complex in Flint earlier this month.
- A new cold case unit staffed by retired police officers and detectives, who will target unsolved crimes.
- A new witness protection program to reduce the risk for people who provide incriminating evidence in violent crime cases.
- Increased overtime pay for Flint police officers to help ensure adequate staffing remains on duty at all times.
Neeley declared a gun violence State of Emergency a year ago in July 2021 as the city's homicide rate increased. The city nearly set a record for homicides last year with 67.
Since then, Flint Police Chief Terence Green has hired 22 more officers and implemented a number of programs to reduce violent crimes.
“We’ve seen violent crime trending down as a result of public safety programs implemented over the past year, and I’m confident that the proposed new programs will keep those crime rates trending down even further,” Neeley said. | https://www.abc12.com/news/local/flint-police-get-850-000-for-new-cold-case-unit-gun-bounty-program-and-more/article_a8d3acc4-0cf8-11ed-ad3a-735aabd94084.html | 2022-07-26T18:33:58 | 1 | https://www.abc12.com/news/local/flint-police-get-850-000-for-new-cold-case-unit-gun-bounty-program-and-more/article_a8d3acc4-0cf8-11ed-ad3a-735aabd94084.html |
What to Know
- The world's first HIV-positive to HIV-positive heart transplant was performed in the Bronx.
- Montefiore Health System said that the transplant was a success and involved a patient in her sixties who suffered from advanced heart failure.
- It wasn't until 2013, that the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act allowed for individuals living with HIV to donate their organs to an HIV-positive recipient. However, it has taken nearly a decade for a heart transplant of this kind.
The world's first HIV-positive to HIV-positive heart transplant was performed in the Bronx.
Montefiore Health System said that the transplant was a success and involved a patient in her sixties who suffered from advanced heart failure.
Not only did the patient receive the heart transplant, but she simultaneously received a kidney transplant in early spring, according to the hospital.
Following a five-weeks recuperation period, the patient now sees her physicians for monitoring, according to the hospital.
It wasn't until 2013, that the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act allowed for individuals living with HIV to donate their organs to an HIV-positive recipient. However, it has taken nearly a decade for a heart transplant of this kind.
"Thanks to significant medical advances, people living with HIV are able to control the disease so well that they can now save the lives of other people living with this condition," said Dr. Ulrich P. Jorde, Section Head - Heart Failure, Cardiac Transplantation & Mechanical Circulatory Support, and Vice Chief, Division of Cardiology at Montefiore and Professor of Medicine at Einstein.
News
"This surgery is a milestone in the history of organ donation and offers new hope to people who once had nowhere to turn," Jorde said.
Montefiore is one of 25 centers in the country that is eligible to offer this type of surgery since it has met certain criteria and outcomes set forth by Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network.
In the United States alone, there are between 60,000 and 100,000 people who need a new heart. However, just last year, only around 3,800 transplants were performed.
"This was a complicated case and a true multidisciplinary effort by cardiology, surgery, nephrology, infectious disease, critical care and immunology," said the patient's cardiologist, Dr. Omar Saeed, who is also an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Einstein. "Making this option available to people living with HIV expands the pool of donors and means more people, with or without HIV, will have quicker access to a lifesaving organ." | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/worlds-1st-hiv-positive-to-hiv-positive-heart-transplant-performed-at-hospital-in-nyc/3795069/ | 2022-07-26T18:34:01 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/worlds-1st-hiv-positive-to-hiv-positive-heart-transplant-performed-at-hospital-in-nyc/3795069/ |
CORUNNA, Mich. (WJRT) - Police are investigating the death of a Chesaning man whose body was found outside a gas station in Corunna early Tuesday.
Corunna Police Chief Mark Schmitzer said an officer driving by the Town Tub Citgo gas station at 110 N. Shiawassee St. around 1:40 a.m. noticed a car parked outside in an odd position. The gas station was closed at the time.

A Philadelphia public school is left wondering who messed with their horses.
Walter B. Saul High School of Agriculture Science in the Roxborough neighborhood is hoping no one else messes with their animals after the manes of a team of horses were cut off two weeks ago.
Employees believe someone used a pair of scissors to cut the manes of their Ohana and Stricker horses. The exact reason for the unsolicited haircat wasn't known, but employees don't believe it to be for the hair to be used by humans.
Jane Arbasak, farm manager at Saul, said in the Philadelphia Inquirer that it's dangerous to cut the manes because every interaction can change the horses' behavior.
"The biggest point is that every time somebody interacts with a horse, or a cow or a sheep, that you’re teaching them a behavior," Arbasak told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's not about you, it's about the kids."
A simple haircut can put the herd in danger for various reasons Marissa Orbanek, a communications officer with the School District of Philadelphia said:
"Manes are important for a variety of reasons. They help protect against flies and other insects, which is especially important when they spend their days in the pasture. In colder weather, they provide warmth. Manes can also indicate their health."

According to the school district, this is the first time the herd had any incidents since being at the farm.
"The School District of Philadelphia is deeply concerned about the trespassing that occurred at Walter B. Saul High School’s farm, which is not only illegal, but also dangerous," the district said in an earlier statement. "For more than 30 years, we have had our horses in the pasture without any incidents. As a response, the District will be installing a non-climb horse fence to ensure the safety of our animals."
The school is not looking to press charges on who did this, but just want people to show some respect.
"We take pride in being able to offer agriculture education to students in the School District of Philadelphia through our farms," Orbanek said in a statement to NBC10. "We know the community also views these as sources of pride and want our animals to remain safe and for the public to respect our property and animals."

Wawa has agreed to pay $8 million to seven states after attorneys general sued the Delaware County-based convenience store chain over a hack that potentially exposed millions of people's credit and debit cards to digital thieves, according to a statement by Attorney General Josh Shapiro on Tuesday.
Malware running on Wawa's computer servers between April and December 2019 exposed more than 9.1 million payment cards to hackers, according to Shapiro's office.
Pennsylvania will get $2.5 million of the settlement. New Jersey and five other states will also receive payments. The money will go to the attorney general's office to pay, in part, for attorney's and court fees. The settlement agreement did not specify if any Wawa customers would receive any of the settlement money. A class action lawsuit was filed by customers in late December 2019 after the breach became public. The status of that suit could not immediately be determined Tuesday.
Wawa also agreed to "develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program ... that is reasonably designed to protect the security, integrity, and confidentiality of Sensitive Personal Information Wawa collects, stores, transmits and/or maintains," according to the settlement.
“Today’s settlement will help protect Pennsylvanians personal information going forward and will hold Wawa accountable for the data breach that occurred on their watch,” Shapiro said. “Thanks to this work Wawa will adopt new corporate policies to deter data breaches in the future. Every corporation that does business in Pennsylvania needs to stay alert and protect their customer’s personal data or they will have to answer to my office.” | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/wawa-agrees-to-pay-8-million-for-2019-data-breach/3316098/ | 2022-07-26T18:43:51 | 1 | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/wawa-agrees-to-pay-8-million-for-2019-data-breach/3316098/ |
MOHAVE COUNTY, Ariz. — Deputies with the Mohave County Sheriff's Office rescued a woman from a running wash during Monday's storms.
According to the MCSO, a local construction crew found the 42-year-old woman clinging to a sign near Shinarump and Agate roads in Golden Valley. She was reportedly surrounded by rushing water up to her waist.
Waters began to recede as deputies and search and rescue crews arrived at the scene, allowing deputies to wade into the wash to help her escape.
As the sheriff's office said in their release, "she was very lucky!"
Photos from Search and Rescue show not only the scale of the wash but also a vehicle that had gotten trapped in the floodwaters, as well as the woman as she held tight to a stop sign.
More rain is forecast through the week, so remember: Turn Around - Don't Drown.

Flooding Safety:
The Arizona Fire & Medical Authority has provided the following tips on what hazards to watch out for during and after a flood, including fire, electrical and chemical safety:
Generators and alternative heating devices can create fire hazards during flooding if they aren’t used correctly or maintained properly. Pools of water and appliances can become electrically charged and can cause electrical fires.
On electricity, residents in flooded areas should turn off the power to their homes if they can reach the main breaker or fuse box. All wiring in the house may be electrically charged and hazardous. Residents should have a professional technician check their home for damages before turning on the power.
Make sure potentially combustible liquids like paint thinner, lighter fluid or gasoline haven’t spilled within or near your home. Keep combustible liquids away from electrical or alternative heat sources as to not start a fire.
All smoke alarms in the home should be tested monthly and batteries should be replaced yearly. Some smoke alarms are dependent on your home’s electrical service and may go out when power is turned off.
Make sure the fire hydrant near your home is cleared of debris so the fire department can assess it easily in the event of a fire. | https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/arizona/woman-holds-to-sign-to-stop-from-being-swept-away-during-mohave-county-storm-flood/75-e2104763-337e-41d8-9e67-65eaed281d01 | 2022-07-26T18:51:25 | 0 | https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/arizona/woman-holds-to-sign-to-stop-from-being-swept-away-during-mohave-county-storm-flood/75-e2104763-337e-41d8-9e67-65eaed281d01 |

WILDWOOD — A city resident was arrested for allegedly assaulting a man during a fight on Pacific Avenue on Friday.
Police were called to the street's 4200 block and investigated the fight, which ended before patrol units arrived. One of the individuals in the fight reportedly was seen armed with a wooden object, police said.
Using a description and information about where one of the individuals in the fight was last seen headed, officers tracked down Edwin Cruz-Perez, 32, who was seen carrying an object consistent to the weapon used in the fight, police said.
Officers then found with a machete fitted with an 18-inch blade on Cruz-Perez's person, police said.
Officers located the other man whom Cruz-Perez fought at his home, suffering from a large contusion to his torso area consistent with being struck by a large object. He was taken to Cape Regional Medical Center for his injuries, police said.

A Tuckerton man who confessed to a Little Egg Harbor Township boat dealership shooting will spend five years in prison, Judge Wendel E. Daniels ruled Monday.
Ronald Rutter, 53, previously pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for shooting 55-year-old Thomas Jarvis last year at Jarvis Marine on Radio Road.
Under the No Early Release Act, Rutter must serve 85% of his sentence before he's eligible for parole, Ocean County Prosecutor's Office spokesperson Bryan Huntenburg said in a news release.
Daniels sentenced Rutter to five years for the shooting and 18 months for a stalking charge to which Daniels also pleaded guilty. The sentences will run concurrently, according to the Prosecutor's Office.
The judge also ordered a permanent restraining order under which Rutter will be prohibited from contact with Jarvis, Huntenburg said.

Rutter was captured in Atlantic City by U.S. Marshals after an arrest warrant was issued following the shooting on Jan. 5, 2021.
About 7:30 p.m., Little Egg Harbor police responded to the dealership for a report of a shooting. Officers found Jarvis with a gunshot wound in his midsection, and he was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus in Atlantic City.
Jarvis was eventually released from the hospital.
Investigators determined that Rutter shot Jarvis, inciting a search by local, state and federal authorities before he was captured in Atlantic City.
Prosecutors had sought a seven-year prison term on the aggravated assault charge and 7½ to 18 months on the stalking charge. They also sought the restraining order, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/man-guilty-of-little-egg-harbor-township-shooting-sentenced/article_accba520-0c58-11ed-9cd9-93ad610c8174.html | 2022-07-26T18:55:46 | 1 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/man-guilty-of-little-egg-harbor-township-shooting-sentenced/article_accba520-0c58-11ed-9cd9-93ad610c8174.html |
ATLANTIC CITY — Mayor Marty Small Sr. is calling a new change-of-government referendum effort an attempt to destroy the Democratic Party by a political operative and Republicans.
"It's a distraction, but we won't be distracted," Small, a Democrat, said Tuesday.
The Atlantic City Independence Committee has been conducting a petition effort, getting signatures from those who support keeping the Mayor-Council form of government but changing back to a nonpartisan approach, with May elections rather than November starting in 2023.
A Tuesday letter from City Clerk Paula Geletei to the committee said the petition included 2,038 verified signatures from city residents, hundreds more than the 1,662 required signatures.
"Accordingly, the matter will be calendared for a public vote Tuesday, November 8, 2022. The County Board of Elections has been notified," Geletei said in the letter.

If it succeeds, candidates would run as individuals rather than as party representatives. The city long held nonpartisan elections but changed to a partisan form in 2001.
The committee will ask City Council to make the change in government at its Wednesday night meeting, said ACIC spokesperson Andra Williams.
{child_flags:featured}Early results: A.C. says no to government change
"We’ll go to the meeting, and if City Council declines, the next step it would go on the ballot for November," Williams said.
Williams said the change would give more people a voice in their city.
"People right now, to be honest with you, don't have much of a say who gets elected," Williams said. "We want to have a choice. ... I don’t want to have to be forced to vote completely Democratic if everyone on the ticket is not the best choice."
Other members of the committee are former GOP council candidate Matthew Diullio-Jusino, Karim Ullah, Oveta Thompson and Jennifer Speed.
Primary elections, which in Atlantic City tend to choose general election winners as only Democrats tend to get elected here, would no longer be needed.
Only one of nine council members, Jesse Kurtz, who represents the 6th Ward, is a Republican.

Small blamed his longtime foe Craig Callaway, a former city councilman who went to federal prison in the early 2000s on bribery and other charges, for getting together with Republicans to create problems for the city.
"This will be a repeat of the other change-of-government election if it gets that far," Small said, "and once people know the fraud specialist and serial vote switcher Craig Callaway and his crew are behind this attempt, which is funded by the county Republican Party via Don Purdy and Vince Polistina, it will fail and fail (in a) BIG way."
State Sen. Polistina and Atlantic County Republican Chair Purdy said Tuesday they have not been involved in the change-of-government effort.
"I don't know why he would point the finger at me," Polistina said. "I had nothing to do with it."
"To change the election does not benefit the Republican Party; it has no outcome on the Atlantic County Republican Organization," said Purdy. "We have not spent a dime on it. We have not been involved in it."
Callaway, who publicly broke with Democrats after working for the reelection of U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, in 2020, did not respond to a request for comment. In 2020, he said the Democratic Party took Black voters for granted but did little to better their lives.

The change could benefit the city, Polistina said.
"In Atlantic City, partisanship sometimes creates some problems," he said.
Especially since the state legislators representing the city are all Republicans, he said, "if you had a nonpartisan form it would lead to cooperation (between parties) that would benefit the city."
Williams said the petition drive is just the start.
"I just encourage people to know that it does not stop with those signatures," Williams said. "We need people to get out and vote."
It's the second attempt in recent years to change the way the city is run.

MARGATE CITY — Lucy the Elephant can now be purchased, should anyone on their quest to acquire roadside attractions make a reasonable offer.

Jim Barlow comes out of retirement to again lead Carmel Police Department
Former Carmel Police Chief Jim Barlow is officially back at the helm of the city's police department.
An announcement Monday indicated he would take on an interim role "until a permanent replacement is chosen," but a city spokesman confirmed Tuesday that Barlow was back fulltime. The interim language was "inadvertently" left in the news release, Carmel spokesman Dan McFeely said.
Mayor Jim Brainard Monday accepted the resignation of Jeff Horner, who served as police chief for about six months after Barlow's retirement in January.
Horner will remain with Carmel Police as a lieutenant, according to a Carmel news release shared Monday.

Horner's resignation came nearly a week after the city announced Horner removed Joe Bickel from his position as deputy chief and recommended his termination from the force. An external investigation found that Bickel acted inappropriately with female employees in the department.
The investigation found claims that Bickel "groped the breast of a female employee, attempted to forcibly kiss a different female employee, and kissed the hand and neck of another female employee at a work-related event," according to the release.
McFeely did not answer questions from IndyStar Monday about the reason for Horner's resignation.
When IndyStar asked Tuesday about how the city planned to fill the role of police chief, McFeely wrote that Barlow was the chief.
"Jim Barlow is the police chief. We have no other comments at this time," McFeely wrote.

At the time of his retirement in January, Barlow served 38 years with the Carmel Police Department.
He started in Carmel working late-night shifts in the patrol division. He moved from criminal investigations to special investigations with Carmel Police's drug task force. During his career, Barlow saw promotions from sergeant to lieutenant to major. He served in leadership roles in the patrol division and the support division, ultimately becoming assistant chief.
Brainard initially appointed Barlow chief of police in 2017.

Fishers begins design work for Nickel Plate bridge at 96th Street
With the Nickel Plate Trail tunnel downtown now open, Fishers officials are speeding ahead to build a pedestrian bridge over 96th Street to connect to Indianapolis.
The county has committed $6.1 million for the bridge and paving of the trail from 106th Street to 96th, the last leg to be completed. It will link to the planned trail in Indianapolis, which will extend south to the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
The Public Works and Safety Committee Tuesday approved a $453,400 contract with Butler Fairman & Seufurt, of Indianapolis, to design the bridge and trail extension.
The bulk of the work will be paid for with a $4.5 million Next Level Trails state grant Fishers was awarded in April. The city will contribute an additional 25% of the grant amount. Indianapolis received a $5 million Next Level grant to build the trail. The city has not yet started work.

In addition, Noblesville received a $3.1 million grant to build its first leg of the Nickel Plate. A bridge over 146th Street will likely be need to connect Fishers and Noblesville.
Fishers officials set a goal of opening the last leg of the trail by the spring or summer of 2023 and the bridge in late 2023 or early 2024.

Hutchinson Fire Department to collect school supplies for its annual back-to-school drive
The Hutchinson Fire Department and its partners are collecting school supplies again.
They will be collecting donations from Aug. 5 to 7 at a variety of locations, including the fire departments.
The Hutchinson Fire Department began a two-weekend school supply drive in 2017 to donate to teachers and students in Hutchinson's schools.
After receiving a surplus of donations, the department and its two partners, RCB Bank and Allen Samuels, decided to reach out to every school in Reno County. Last year, the drive raised more than $78,000 in school supplies.
"It's really a chance for us to give back to the community that supports us incredibly," said Fire Marshal Michael Cain of the Hutchinson Fire Department.

The drive opens from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 5. The program runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 6 and 7.
The donation locations include the 30th Ave. and Fifth Avenue Dillons stores in Hutchinson, as well as Walmart and the East Avenue A and two East 30th Avenue RCB Bank locations, Allen Samuels and six Hutchinson Fire Department stations.
"Allen Samuels donates two pickup trucks, so we just drive those around each place continually and empty carts into the back of the pickup," Cain said. "It'll be a full pickup bed for each time."
Fire stations one, three, four, five, six and seven will accept donations throughout the day and the following week, as will RCB Bank and Allen Samuels.

Cain said the donations and community support were worth putting up with the heat and the long days.
"As the baskets fill up outside of Walmart and Dillon's, it's just incredible," Cain said. "It was after the first year we saw what it was actually going for — there's an incredible need not only in Hutchinson but throughout Reno County for the supplies." | https://www.hutchnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/26/hutchinson-fire-department-continues-annual-school-supply-drive/10070817002/ | 2022-07-26T19:00:15 | 1 | https://www.hutchnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/26/hutchinson-fire-department-continues-annual-school-supply-drive/10070817002/ |
SAN ANTONIO — Apparently, not everyone believes that Blue Bell Ice Cream is the best ice cream in the country. In fact, one food magazine, “Eat This, Not That!,” says the popular Texas treat is among the worst.
New York-based writer Steven John listed Blue Bell, which was founded in Brenham, Texas in 1907, among nine ice cream brands that “use the lowest quality ingredients.”
The article says, "Blue Bell Ice Cream has a popularity problem: according to a Mashed survey, a majority of people find it to be the worst store-bought ice cream. Maybe that's because they have a quality ingredient problem, too."
The writer criticized the company for using food thickening agents such as cellulose gum and vegetable gums in its Homemade Vanilla flavor. He also had a problem with the company’s use of food starch, artificial colors and other ingredients.
"How about just regular milk, cream, and sugar," said Steven John.
While he might say the tasty frozen treat is one of the worst, most Texans will say it's a taste of heaven on earth.
Have you tried any of their new flavors yet?

A San Antonio man who was among the mob that breached the U.S. Capitol last year was sentenced Tuesday to three months of house arrest and five years of probation for a gun conviction stemming from when FBI agents searched his home here.
Chance Anthony Uptmore, 25, and his lawyer, John Convery, told U.S. District Judge Fred Biery that Uptmore has completely turned his life around.
Uptmore described himself as a “weedaholic” when FBI agents investigating the riot searched the home he shared with his father in early 2021. They found 16 pounds of marijuana and various THC products, one-third of a pound of psilocybin mushrooms and a loaded .38 caliber revolver in Chance Uptmore’s bedroom.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery found him guilty of one count of unlawful use of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm, a federal felony.
Uptmore, who lost two brothers to unspecified “tragedies,” told the judge he began smoking marijuana about the time one of those siblings died five or six years ago. He smoked it all day, everyday, but stopped completely shortly after his arrest, he said.
Convery said Uptmore also was distraught by the divorce of his parents. Uptmore apologized to his mother and his pregnant wife, who attended the hearing Tuesday. His father was not present.
“Sorry about everything,” Uptmore then told the court. “I have a kid on the way...and it’s opened my eyes. I feel like I’ve gone through so many things that have shown me what my life is really about.”
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Kinskey asked the judge to impose at least a year of jail time, while Convery asked for leniency. The judge imposed five years of probation, warning Uptmore that if he broke the law again, he could sentence him to up to 10 years in prison. The judge added three months of home detention.
“The court...finds there are extenuating circumstances in terms of family tragedies,” Biery said. “But perhaps most importantly in this situation, this court has seen a complete, 180-degree turn in terms of addiction.”
In early April, Uptmore pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of illegally parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol, one of four charges he had faced in connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
Uptmore went on a birthday trip in January 2021 with his father to the East Coast, attended then-President Donald Trump's “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C., and then joined the mob that breached the Capitol.
Chance Uptmore told agents that he entered the Capitol because he was caught up in the moment. His plea documents also said his father followed him into the building after advising him not to enter.
Convery said the Uptmores did not touch anything or anybody and even helped prevent others from stealing a painting from the walls.
Uptmore’s father, James Herman “Sonny” Uptmore, pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanor charge of illegally parading demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol.
Both face sentencing in Washington on Oct. 25, and face no more than six months in jail, or even probation.
“He just wants to say, ‘I’m sorry’ and put the whole thing behind him,” Convery said of Chance Uptmore. “Everything.”

Don Stevens of Hondo struck up a fast friendship with a fellow Navy medical corpsman, Louis Ritemeyer, at Balboa Naval Medical Center in San Diego just before the war in Korea broke out.
Well into the war, Stevens was assigned to the USS Consolation, a Navy hospital ship, and Ritemeyer was sent to the fleet Marines. Both wound up in Korea — one on the ship, and the other on the front line.
There was a lot to like about Ritemeyer, things that still stand out in Stevens’s mind — a place where the memories are increasingly fuzzier as he approaches 91.
“He was kind of a straight-laced guy,” Stevens said. “He joined the Navy in California but he was originally from Montana or someplace in the northern part of the United States.
“He was a very serious person and he did a good job,” he said. “He was serious about the work he did, I know that.”
The war sent them to very different fates. Ritemeyer was mortally wounded and spent his last days aboard the Consolation. A mutual friend told Stevens that he’d been brought aboard.
Stevens went to find him. Ritemeyer was unconscious, “completely out of it,” with a chest wound from enemy submachine gun fire, he said.
Sixty-nine years have passed since an uneasy armistice ended the Korean War on July 27, 1953. The division of the Korean peninsula after World War II into separate nations in the Soviet and U.S. spheres, north and south, became permanent.
The death toll from the relatively brief conflict was staggering. More than half of the 5 million killed were civilians. One in 10 Koreans alive when the war began on June 25, 1950, were dead three years later.
American estimates put the number of Chinese combatants killed at 920,000. The war left 36,574 U.S. troops dead and another 7,577 unaccounted for. Some of the missing continue to be found and identified, and are returned to San Antonio and other parts of the country for burial.
Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Don Stevens left the Navy as the fighting ended and came back to Hondo. He joined the Texas Department of Public Safety, married and had a family while enjoying a long career. He retired as a DPS captain.
Bitter stalemate
The conflict erupted with communist North Korea invading the south along the 38th parallel with its 135,000-strong Inmun Gun, or People’s Army. It captured Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea, in three days.
Ill-prepared U.S. and South Korean troops were pushed into a small pocket at the tip of the peninsula. On the verge of defeat, Gen. Douglas MacArthur counterattacked with a daring amphibious landing at Inchon, on the coast near Seoul, cutting off the North Korean troops. The north’s invasion collapsed, and its capital, Pyongyang fell to the Americans, who drove all the way to the Chinese border.
China then intervened, moving 260,000 soldiers into North Korea as MacArthur stretched his men and supply lines. It launched its first major attack Nov. 1, 1950 near Unsan.
Heavily outnumbered American soldiers and Marines retreated south amid a bitter winter storm. By the time Stevens arrived, the war had settled into a bloody stalemate.
There are many things from that era that Stevens, who now lives in New Braunfels, no longer clearly remembers or is willing to discuss. Those who know him, one of them a Korean War-era veteran who has been a good friend since they met on an honor flight to Washington, D.C., isn’t surprised.
“He’s a first-class guy, but he is a little bit shy about sharing,” said C. Herb Skoog, 90, of New Braunfels, retired from the radio business in the San Antonio area. “You know, sometimes he will say things that I will start asking questions about, but he’s not very braggadocious or vocal about that time.”
Russell Minor, who organizes veterans breakfasts in and around San Antonio, said Stevens always has a smile on his face and a story to tell — although it’ll be about someone else.
“He’s just delightful and easy to have a conversation with,” said Minor, 68, of Boerne. “He’s not going to talk about himself. You’re going to have to force it.”
Growing up on a farm outside Hondo, Stevens joined the Navy after graduating from high school. His dad and mom, W.J. and Georgie Stevens, ranched and farmed while raising five kids. Don Stevens, who was the youngest, recalls them growing “broom corn.”
The Consolation had been treating wounded off Korea from the war’s start. It was refitted with a helicopter pad in 1951, the first hospital ship to get one, and Stevens embarked for its return.
He recalls the wounded, most of them Marines, being flown to the stern, regularly evacuated by air from the battlefield for the first time in any war.
“They would come in by helicopter and when there would be a push on shore, that’s when we would get busy,” Stevens said. “Sometimes the helicopter would be waiting to set down because there was already a helicopter on the ship, and they’d have to wait until he took off before they could land.”
He liked the job.
“I thought it was helpful,” Stevens said, in his usual understated way.
‘No bravado’
“There’s absolutely no bravado at all,” Minor said of Stevens. “There are a lot of them like that. They think they didn’t do anything and the things that they did are just astounding. And to them it was, ‘I was just doing my job and it was nothing special.’ Most of them are like that and Don sure is.”
Offensives by UN forces drove the ship’s operational tempo. Though 20 and new to war, Stevens was well trained and able to cope, especially when things got busy aboard the ship. The corpsman’s job was to help the doctors and nurses. The patients were badly wounded but Stevens won’t go into detail about it or get emotional.
It was far more comfortable than what soldiers and Marines endured in weather ranging from Texas-style summers to Siberian blizzards that plunged temperatures to below zero. He slept in bunks stacked two and three atop each other, but had regular hot chow.
Looking back, Stevens is glad to have missed being in combat.
“I was happy where I was but the thought came across my mind several times I might like it (with the Marines), but I’m glad I didn’t,” he said.
Some of the wounded were returned to their units, but when the Consolation reached capaciaty, she would sail to Japan and unload patients for care at military hospitals.
Then it was back to Korea and streams of newly wounded troops.
“Yes, it was hard. I think it’s hard on all of us. Sometimes we worked all day if we were busy and then we’d work part of the night, too,” Stevens said. “Of course it was a long time ago, but it had its effect on us, all of us.”
The Consolation later sailed as the SS Hope, funded by a nonprofit to care for civilians worldwide from 1960 to 1974.
Stevens never forgot Ritemeyer.
“I wasn’t actually with him” when he died,” Stevens said. “I stayed up with his condition and would go down there and check on him several times, and he was just there for two or three days and he passed away.
“It affected me because I knew the man well and we were friends,” he said. “It was hard, but those things come about.”

Interstate 10 in San Antonio played a major role in an iconic music video that was released 28 years ago this year.
The rock group R.E.M.'s music video for "Everybody Hurts" was released in 1994 and features I-10 near the intersection of Fredericksburg Road and Woodlawn Avenue. Extras, including students who skipped school, from around San Antonio showed up to be in the music video.
The San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation is looking for stories from that music video shoot to be part of its "There's a Story Here" campaign, which aims to tell stories about places in the city.
The city agency said in a news release that motorists had to battle plenty of traffic that day. On the same day as the video shoot, the Patrick Swayze movie "Father Hood" was filming and forced another San Antonio highway to shut down.
The music video for "Everybody Hurts" went on to win Breakthrough Video, Best Direction, Best Editing and Best Cinematography at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards.
The video shows the band and other drivers stuck in traffic as subtitles of their thoughts appear on screen. At the end, people exit their vehicles and walk before vanishing.

Some locals have shared their experiences on Facebook in response to the city's request for stories from the video shoot.
"It was a nightmare closing the freeway but they were able to do it because the upper level of IH 10 could be open and traffic could flow," Kathy Rhoads responded to the post.
On ExpressNews.com: The music will live on in San Antonio
"I was in the video. It was cool being in it," Paul Francis said in another comment. "One day I showed up early and chilled In the band's trailer."
San Antonians are able to submit stories to the Office of Historic Preservation.

Alamo visitors will soon have a better idea of what it was like to enter San Antonio’s first permanent Spanish-Indigenous mission of the 1700s and the site of the 1836 battle for Texas independence.
Construction is set to start in the fall on a re-creation of the main gate of the mission. And an education center that nearly doubles the number of school children who can visit the site is set to open next year.
The Alamo is working with the city on the local and state permits for an 80-foot-long outdoor exhibit that will replicate the south gate and surrounding earthworks and fortifications of the Alamo fort and Mission San Antonio de Valero, Patrick Gallagher, program manager for the Alamo project, said during an update Tuesday to the Texas Historical Commission in Austin.
Gallagher said the exhibit will serve as an entry to the site.
The Alamo will expand its outdoor palisade exhibit, which opened in December, to come closer to the gate and replicate other areas along the Alamo’s south wall, including a kitchen that served the mission. Another room near the gate is where a bed-ridden Jim Bowie died in 1836.
“We’ll be talking about how people lived, where they grew their food and how they managed their relationship with the site,” Gallagher said. “When they pass through this gate, they’ll be on very important hallowed ground.”
Kate Rogers, executive director of the Alamo Trust, described the planned education center as a flexible, five-classroom facility that will provide a “world-class educational opportunity for both students and teachers” at the location of Alamo Hall, a meeting venue at the southeast corner of the grounds that originally was built in 1922 as a city fire station. The Alamo plans to demolish its exhibit annex, a former library built in 1950 for the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and replace it with a new structure. It hopes to pay tribute to the DRT with a display that will honor the center’s past use as a library, Rogers said.
The education facility will include a studio for online programming and an outdoor agricultural learning area with a replicated “working acequia” — a waterway used to irrigate corn, beans and other crops. It also will offer theater and re-enactment programming.
Children will be able to access the Alamo from the rear, where part of Crockett Street has been closed to most vehicle traffic and converted to pedestrian space. The Alamo, which currently hosts about 140,000 students annually, hopes to increase its education programming to 250,000 children each year. A historically accurate 1836 Alamo model made of Lego pieces and a video would help introduce students to the site.
“Believe it not, we’ve never had a space where we could do a proper orientation for the children,” Rogers said.
The Alamo Trust has a $5 million donation from the Texas Cavaliers for the education center and has selected WestEast Design Group of San Antonio for architectural work. The trust has targeted late 2023 for completion of the center.
Since the Alamo is a state antiquities landmark, the trust plans to ask the commission for permits in the fall for the gate exhibit and education center.
Other components of an extensive public-private makeover of the Alamo include completion of an exhibit hall/collections building in the northeast corner of the grounds in the fall and design and construction of an Alamo museum and visitor center in the plaza, scheduled to open in March 2026.

In what can only be described as a scene straight out of an apocalyptic film, a viral TikTok video captured thousands of noisy mosquitos swarming a field in Texas.
The video, which was posted on July 16, doesn't say where in Texas the mosquito invasion took place or if it was taken on the same day it was posted. The Express-News has not been able to verify the location of the video, but it is popular on the social media platform, amassing more than 25 million views and 3.8 million likes as of Tuesday morning.
In the 15-second video, mosquitoes can be seen flocking toward the camera in waves. There are so many of the bugs that the decibel level of their buzzing can be compared to that of a NASACR race.
The video prompted plenty of comments.
One TikTok user said, "Without the anti bug suit, these mosquitoes could drink my soul."
"Sounds like a mini 500 race," Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross commented.
"It's over, the bugs are in charge now," another individual said in response.
Mosquitoes are just one of many pest species that exist in Texas, although they may not be as populous this summer as in more rain-filled years.
Texas has two mosquito seasons, from mid-March to early summer and again in the fall. However, with less rain this year and drought conditions around the state, mosquitoes are harder to come by as females lack standing water for breeding sites, according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extenion.
Large numbers of mosquitoes have been known to develop in swamps, tidal marshes, flood water and rice fields, with male mosquitoes swarming in clouds to attract females.

Body of White Lake man found Monday in camper at Faster Horses Festival
The body of a 48-year-old White Lake man who attended the Faster Horses Festival over the weekend was found Monday morning, officials said.
Cambridge Township Police Chief Jeff Patterson said officers were called at about 9:15 a.m. of an unresponsive man at a campsite near the Michigan International Speedway, where the three-day country music festival was held. Police and paramedics located the body of the man in his camper.
Patterson said there were no signs of foul play and the investigation into his death is ongoing. Meanwhile, detectives are waiting for the results of an autopsy that will be conducted by the Lenawee County Medical Examiner's Office.
The autopsy could be conducted as soon as Tuesday and investigators may have preliminary results by the end of the week, he said.
At this point, the chief said, it appears his death was from natural causes.
"It's just very tragic," he said.
Patterson said the man had attended the festival with his wife and two other couples.
He also said the man's wife and the other couples have returned home, but police are keeping her updated on the investigation.
Last year at the festival, four people died in two separate incidents. A Croswell woman, 30, died of natural causes, and three men were found unresponsive and died from carbon monoxide poisoning, officials said, from a generator that had been operating near their trailer. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/07/26/body-white-lake-man-found-monday-camper-faster-horses-festival/10154427002/ | 2022-07-26T19:09:34 | 0 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/07/26/body-white-lake-man-found-monday-camper-faster-horses-festival/10154427002/ |

GETTYSBURG, Pa. — A Gettysburg winery is using a new bottle crusher that will allow the business to reuse glass wine bottles sustainably.
Adams County Winery, the fifth-oldest operating winery in Pennsylvania, said it is the first winery in Pennsylvania to use the Expleco GLS 2.0 bottle crusher.
The winery had previously struggled to find a way to recycle glass, as local recycling companies have halted the acceptance of glass products.
Now it is combating the issue and providing a solution completely in-house, the winery said.
“The Adams County Winery team decided we needed to find a sustainable way to reuse our bottles on site, so we started researching," said Adams County Winery general manager Dan Baumgardner. "We found the [Expleco GLS 2.0] bottle crusher from Johnson Recycling Solutions and knew it would be the perfect addition for our needs, considering how difficult it is to recycle glass now.
"Plus, there are so many uses for the crushed bottle sand on-site."
The sand from the bottle crusher is being tested for use in the gardens and vineyards as a sustainable weed controller, without disturbing the surroundings, the winery said. Tent sandbags and winery decorations are among the other sand uses.
Adams County Winery opened its doors in 1975 in Orrtanna, and is currently Pennsylvania’s fifth oldest operating winery, as well as the Gettysburg area’s original winery.
The Farm Winery location sits on 40 acres of rolling hills and farmland while operating out of an 1860s registered historic bank barn.
In 1988, one of their most popular wines, Tears of Gettysburg, was born and remains one of the oldest wines in Pennsylvania.
The vineyard is home to five different varieties of grapes, spanning over 12.5 acres.
Adams County Winery is a nine-time winner of Best Winery in the Gettysburg’s Greatest awards, and a local favorite spot to relax and enjoy a glass of local Pa. wine. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/adams-county/adams-county-winery-bottle-crusher/521-dfbfaf9d-c08b-47e3-bd8c-cf757806dd54 | 2022-07-26T19:11:17 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/adams-county/adams-county-winery-bottle-crusher/521-dfbfaf9d-c08b-47e3-bd8c-cf757806dd54 |
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Editors note: The attached video is from Aug. 17, 2021.
It's officially summertime, time for swimming outside, watching fireworks, and drinking lemonade on a hot day -- not for mosquito bites and diseases like the West Nile Virus.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is encouraging residents across the state to 'Fight the Bite' and protect themselves.
"The best parts of summer aren't itchy bites and being sick, so we want people to protect themselves from mosquitos and mosquito-borne illnesses," said Acting DEP Secretary Ramez Ziadeh.
"It doesn't take much to Fight the Bite and protect yourself and your family from mosquitoes. Common sense and insect repellent can go a long way towards a safe and happy summer," said Ziadeh.
One case of West Nile Virus (WNV) has been reported in Pennsylvania this year.
WNV symptoms in humans are typically like a mild case of the flu, but the virus can lead to a much more serious condition that includes swelling of the brain, muscle convulsions, coma, paralysis, and death.
Since the DEP first began monitoring for the virus in 2000, there have been 48 fatal cases of the virus in Pennsylvania.
To best protect yourself from West Nile Virus, follow these easy tips:
- Eliminate standing, stagnant water near your home – bird baths, kiddie pools, and other outdoor decorations can be mosquito breeding grounds if the water sits for a few days.
- Keep gutters clean of debris.
- Wear insect repellent or long sleeves when mosquitoes are active, usually around dawn and dusk.
- Repair window screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering your home.
- Clean up litter in your neighborhood. Just a single cap from a plastic bottle can be home to 300 mosquito eggs.
"Standing water is where mosquitoes breed, and it doesn't take much for mosquitoes to lay eggs," said Jennifer Stough, the Water Program Specialist for DEP's Vector Management Program.
“Mosquitoes are weak flyers and won’t travel far from where they are born, if there are mosquitoes in your backyard or neighborhood, they are likely laying eggs there as well," said Stough. "If you’re being bitten by mosquitoes, they are 9 times out of 10 coming from your property. Get rid of even small amounts of standing water around your home.”
Commonly sold insect repellants like DEET, Picaridin, or other EPA-registered repellants, can also cut down on mosquito bites and possible exposure to the virus.
Long pants and sleeves are another way to cut down on mosquito exposure.
“It doesn’t take much for several hundred mosquitoes to be born. The small pool of water that collects in a single upturned bottle cap is an incubator for as many as 300 mosquito eggs,” said Stough. “Mosquitoes acquire the virus by biting infected birds and transmit the virus to people through a subsequent bite."
The DEP conducts regular surveillance and control to manage the mosquito population across the state. As of July 15, the DEP and county vector programs had detected 68 WNV-infected mosquito pools in 19 counties.
Both organizations will continue to conduct routine, localized spraying to control infected adult populations of mosquitoes. These operations are conducted when and where deemed necessary based on recent population survey results.
“Control operations are a strong tool, but they are not a substitute for preventive measures like eliminating standing, stagnant water,” said Stough.
The DEP will continue to survey affected communities to monitor mosquito activity and WNV. DEP biologists have initiated a survey of the mosquito population to determine the risk for further human illness. If necessary, adult mosquito populations will be reduced. These efforts will continue through October. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/pennsylvanians-encouraged-to-protect-themselves-from-mosquito-bites-department-of-environmental-protection/521-238a1311-7571-4800-b39e-743406fb8573 | 2022-07-26T19:11:18 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/pennsylvanians-encouraged-to-protect-themselves-from-mosquito-bites-department-of-environmental-protection/521-238a1311-7571-4800-b39e-743406fb8573 |
YORK COUNTY, Pa. — A 33-year-old Cumberland County man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon in Dover Township, the York County Coroner's Office announced Tuesday.
Justin Turrentine, of Mechanicsburg, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred around 12:18 p.m. on Harmony Grove Road in Dover Township, coroner Pamela M. Gay said.
Turrentine was driving a pickup truck belonging to a landscaping company and was traveling east on the roadway. The pickup navigated a sharp corner, crossed into the westbound lane, and struck a dump truck that was hauling dirt.
Turrentine's vehicle sustained massive damage to the driver's side, and he was trapped inside, according to Gay. Despite life-saving measures from emergency personnel that responded to the scene, he succumbed to his injuries.
A passenger in the pickup and the driver of the dump truck sustained minor injuries in the crash, and were transported to an area hospital for treatment, Gay said. There was no further word on their conditions.
Turrentine died of multiple blunt force injuries, Gay said. His manner of death was ruled accidental. No autopsy will be performed, but routine toxicology was obtained.
The crash is being investigated by Northern York County Regional Police, Gay said. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/york-county/justin-turrentine-deadly-crash-york-county/521-9dae5fb9-85d8-4b45-baf9-2486fbb13bcf | 2022-07-26T19:11:20 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/york-county/justin-turrentine-deadly-crash-york-county/521-9dae5fb9-85d8-4b45-baf9-2486fbb13bcf |
When looking at the makeup of American families today, it’s rare to see a home where a pet isn’t part of the family. According to the most recent data from the APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 67% of households—or around 85 million homes—own a pet. Of these households, dogs and cats top the list of most popular pets, with 63.4 million and 42.7 million households owning dogs and cats, respectively.
In exploring the history of animal shelters and rescue organizations in the country, nothing proves as problematic as the lack of a centralized reporting system to collect data on these organizations. Most of the shelter statistics that are available and accepted today are estimates based on several period surveys, including the aforementioned APPA National Pet Owners Survey along with the AVMA U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook. Without a nationally codified and streamlined process for collecting, organizing, and reporting on shelter data, there has been a grave lack of transparency around the country’s shelters. That makes it difficult not only to pinpoint accurate statistics regarding sheltered animals in America but also to understand the true state of animal welfare in the country, which is the first step to improving that welfare.
If you’ve been considering bringing home a furry companion, be sure to keep reading. Stacker compiled a list of dogs available for adoption in Dallas, Texas on Petfinder, ranging in age, breed composition, temperament, and needs. It’s important to note that pet adoption is a huge responsibility and requires available savings for emergency and routine veterinary care, a day-to-day routine and game plan for coverage if the pup needs to be left at home during the day (i.e. hiring a dog walker), and time and attention devoted to training your newest family member. Be sure to do due diligence on breed research to see what kind of dog will be the best fit for your lifestyle.
Without further ado, here are adoptable dogs in your home city.

Salem City Council votes to increase water rates; here’s what you could be paying each month
The Salem City Council voted Monday to approve proposed increases to the city's water, wastewater and stormwater service rates.
The increases recommended by the Water/Wastewater Task Force include a 5% increase in water rates in 2023 and 2024, a 5% increase in wastewater in 2023 and 2024 and a 5% increase in stormwater fees in 2023 and 2024.
"Nobody wants to raise rates. ... A lot of the feedback we've gotten from the community is that 'costs are going up, don't raise our rates,' " said Councilor Chris Hoy. "The reason we have to raise the rates is because costs are going up. ... This is a utility that has to financially survive. I think this is the best course to make sure that happens and to make sure we have good quality drinking water and sewer services going forward."
In a report, city officials said the city's utility funds remain financially sound but rate increases are needed to counter inflation and address the need for capital investments and adequate reserves.
For the average residential account in Salem, the proposed increase would equate to a $94 a month bill for water, stormwater and wastewater going up to $98.68 in 2023 and $103.57 in 2024.
Despite the increases, Salem rates are expected to be on the lower end of similarly sized cities, according to city officials.
"Salem has historically been in the middle or lower than the group of cities providing similar utility services," staff said in a report. "With the proposed rate increases, Salem is anticipated to continue to remain ranked eighth of the eleven standard comparator cities."
The motion passed unanimously.
Residents will begin seeing the rate increases on Jan. 1, 2023, and again on Jan. 1, 2024.
Council also voted to extend the city's emergency utility assistance program through the end of 2024 to help residents to avoid water shut-offs due to financial hardship.
The program, which was expanded during the pandemic, has seen a dramatic increase in demand over the past four years, according to a staff report from the Public Works Department.
In 2020, $71,144 in assistance was given to 491 customers. The following year, 1,701 customers received $229,393, and 2022 is on track to surpass that amount. Current funding for the program is expected to last until next spring.
The City Council also approved a plan to extend the effective date of the program until December 2024 and authorize using up to $300,000 of utility revenue annually for funding starting in 2023.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Fresh off the critical success of the Apple TV+ film Cha Cha Real Smooth, Dallas-native Cooper Raiff is making big moves on his next directorial project.

MICHIGAN CITY — A second defendant appeared in court Tuesday on a charge linked to a man's shooting death nearly a year ago outside a liquor store, police said.
Clarence E. Sims Jr., 40, of Michigan City, was arrested last week in connection with the Aug. 9, 2021, homicide of 34-year-old Leland Collins, of Michigan City, outside Eastside Liquors, 1509 E. Michigan Blvd., police said.
A not guilty plea was entered on Sims' behalf during an initial hearing Tuesday in LaPorte Superior Court.
Lamar Friend, 41, the first person to be charged in Collins' homicide, has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and attempted murder. The attempted murder count involves a woman who was with Collins when he was fatally shot, police said.
Michigan City police were dispatched to the liquor store last summer for a report of shots fired and found Collins in the parking lot suffering from at least one gunshot wound.

The longstanding prohibition on news outlets broadcasting Indiana court hearings soon may come to an end.
The Indiana Supreme Court recently announced it's considering lifting its near-total ban on cameras in the courtroom in favor of allowing each local judge to decide whether to permit the news media to air court proceedings live and/or record them for later use.
Under the high court's proposed rule, a judge could authorize the broadcasting, televising, recording or photographing of court proceedings by recognized media outlets, so long as broadcasting is restricted to non-confidential hearings and the means of recording do not distract participants or impair the dignity of the proceedings.
A judge who allows broadcasting would retain the discretion to limit, interrupt or halt the coverage at any time if the judge deems the interruption or stoppage appropriate.

All judges also would be required to prohibit any broadcast of minors, juvenile matters, sex offense victims, jurors, witnesses whose safety is at risk, attorney-client communications, bench conferences and materials on counsel tables and the judicial bench.
Currently, broadcasting anything from a courtroom, other than ceremonial matters, requires the consent of the Indiana Supreme Court, which has routinely webcast its oral arguments and other courtroom proceedings for years, along with the Indiana Court of Appeals.
Ten years ago, The Times received permission from the Supreme Court to webcast select Lake County court hearings as part of an 18-month pilot program examining the promises and pitfalls of new courtroom technology.
If the rule is adopted, any local judge could decide on a case-by-case basis whether to allow broadcasting and may require advance notice from media organizations seeking to bring cameras into the courtroom.
Trial participants and audience members still would not be permitted to record court proceedings with a camera, phone or other electronic devices, according to the rule.
Hoosiers are invited to comment on the cameras in the courtroom rule by mailing their opinions on the proposal before Aug. 1 to: Office of Judicial Administration, Indiana Office of Court Services, 251 N. Illinois St., Suite 800, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

As Gary grew in the early 1900s, African American students were segregated within white schools or overcrowded into small, separate schools. To compensate, officials transferred some Black students to Emerson High School in 1927. After over 600 white students walked out in protest, the school board reinforced segregation by building a new school for the Black community.

Hoosier educators teaching dual credit courses are getting even more time to comply with stringent new credentialing requirements.
The Higher Learning Commission, the central U.S. accrediting agency that oversees high school courses awarding college credit, has again extended the deadline for teachers of dual credit courses to meet the instructor requirements first issued by HLC in 2015.
As a result, dual credit educators now have until Sep. 1, 2025, to satisfy the HLC mandate they hold a master's degree, with at least 18 credit hours in the subject they teach, as a condition of leading a dual credit course.
This second extension, after the HLC in 2020 lengthened its initial deadline to 2023 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, is "welcome news" to the approximately 1,500 dual credit teachers at Indiana schools, said Chris Lowery, Indiana commissioner for higher education.

"Providing quality dual credit opportunities for Hoosier students is vital to saving Hoosier families millions of dollars in tuition, increasing students’ odds of attending college and improving their likelihood for completion. We are committed to continuing to work closely with the Indiana Department of Education and other partners to help Indiana’s teachers earn the credentials they need," Lowery said.
Since 2015, the state higher education commission and DOE have spent more than $10 million to help ensure Indiana's dual credit instructors, particularly in science, technology, engineering and math, remain qualified to teach courses that help Hoosier students earn college credits while still in high school.
DOE data show increased educational attainment leads to a better quality of life, greater health, expanded employment opportunities and increased wages, which the department says makes expansion of dual credit essential to ensuring every child has access to the quality education they need to enjoy lifelong success.
"This federally allowed extension will allow more Indiana educators to obtain the necessary credentials to teach dual credit and, ultimately, support our students as they work towards their post-graduation goals, whether that includes employment, enrollment or enlistment leading to service," said Katie Jenner, Indiana secretary of education. | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/education/indiana-dual-credit-teachers-get-until-2025-to-meet-new-credentialing-standards/article_d091c456-993d-5fd1-a06b-619688b71c94.html | 2022-07-26T19:15:15 | 0 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/education/indiana-dual-credit-teachers-get-until-2025-to-meet-new-credentialing-standards/article_d091c456-993d-5fd1-a06b-619688b71c94.html |
A federal judge has ruled that a transgender girl must be allowed to play on her school’s girls softball team.
U.S. District Court Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday against Indianapolis Public Schools, preventing the district from stopping her from rejoining her school’s girls softball team.
The plaintiff, A.M., was initially prevented from playing on the team under Indiana’s new law, which took effect July 1, that prohibits transgender girls in grades K-12 from participating in girls school sports.
The Republican-controlled state legislature passed the law as House Enrolled Act 1041 earlier this year. Gov. Eric Holcomb vetoed the ban, but his veto was overridden by another vote by the General Assembly in late May.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in May on behalf of a 10-year-old transgender girl, referred to in the case as A.M. Under the new law, she would not be allowed to play on her school’s girls softball team.
The ACLU argued that the law discriminates on the basis of sex, a violation of Title IX. The lawsuit also asserted that the new statute “represents discrimination on the basis of transgender status, as well as sex,” violating the U.S. Constitution’s equal protection clause.
In her ruling, Magnus-Stinson wrote that A.M. “has established that she has a strong likelihood of succeeding on the merits of her claim” that the law violates Title IX.
“She has also established that she would suffer irreparable harm for which there is no adequate legal remedy,” Magnus-Stinson wrote, “and that both the balance of harms and the public interest favor issuing an injunction.”
Because she granted an injunction based on the Title IX claim, however, Magnus-Stinson wrote that the court would not consider whether A.M. is entitled to an injunction on the basis of the equal protection claim.
Ken Falk, legal director at the ACLU of Indiana, said in a statement Tuesday that the organization is “pleased” the judge issued the injunction.
While the injunction only applies to A.M. and does not prevent the law from remaining in effect, a spokeswoman for the ACLU said the organization would pursue litigation against Indiana schools that attempt to prevent transgender students from playing sports.
“If other students are being denied the right to join a sports team at their school due to their transgender status,” Falk said, “we encourage them to contact the ACLU of Indiana immediately.”
Attorney General Todd Rokita, who defended the law in court, also released a statement Tuesday.
“The law (HEA 1041) remains in effect across the state and we will continue our work to defend this law and to protect Indiana’s students,” Rokita said. “The court’s ruling allows only this particular plaintiff to play this particular sport at this particular elementary school.” | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/indiana/judge-rules-transgender-girl-can-rejoin-school-softball-team/article_20beb8ca-0d0b-11ed-b416-dbdac066dc1a.html | 2022-07-26T19:17:58 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/indiana/judge-rules-transgender-girl-can-rejoin-school-softball-team/article_20beb8ca-0d0b-11ed-b416-dbdac066dc1a.html |
A bill that would ban abortion in almost all cases was narrowly passed Tuesday by the Indiana Senate Rules Committee.
Senate Bill 1 was approved by a 7-5 vote, with Republican state Sen. Mark Messmer joining the committee’s four Democratic members in voting against. The version passed Tuesday included three amendments approved by the committee.
The vote came after more than six hours of public testimony Monday and Tuesday. Sixty-one people spoke – a fraction of the nearly 300 who signed up to testify. None of them supported the bill.
The proposal now heads to the full Senate, where debate and more amendments are expected Thursday following a second reading of the legislation.

Huntington County Community School Corp. trustees named John Trout superintendent Monday during a special meeting.
Trout replaces former superintendent Chad Daugherty, who left HCCSC for a position in South Carolina after 25 years in the district. Trout began serving as interim school chief earlier this month.
He is the school system's ninth superintendent.
“As a lifelong resident of Huntington County, my wife and I could not think of a better school community to raise and educate our own daughters," Trout said. "I look forward to working with our school board, teachers, administrators, staff, parents and community as we strategically and collaboratively work together to ensure that each and every one of our students receives the education they so richly deserve.”

The two people killed Monday in what Indiana State Police suspect is a homicide-suicide following a six-smile police chase have been identified as Heather Lynn Harmon, 35, of Auburn, and Edward James Conboy, 37, Edon, Ohio.
Conboy is formerly from Garrett. The state police released the names early Tuesday afternoon after notifying family for both.
The police found Harmon in the front seat and Conboy in the back seat. Investigators said that at the end of the chase, Conboy shot Harmon and then himself.
The incident began in the 800 block of Griswold Court in Auburn about 8:40 a.m. Monday. According to state police, the investigation showed that Conboy forced his way into Harmon's vehicle, holding her at gunpoint.
Conboy fired some shots while making his way into the vehicle, which led to the 911 calls and police coming to the scene. Investigators believe Conboy coerced Harmon to keep driving until a tire deflation device ended the chase.
The two had been in a relationship in the past, according to a state police announcement. Police didn’t indicate how long ago that had been. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/two-in-dekalb-apparent-homicide-suicide-identified/article_5f904610-0d09-11ed-87c6-cb1e1108efdb.html | 2022-07-26T19:18:16 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/two-in-dekalb-apparent-homicide-suicide-identified/article_5f904610-0d09-11ed-87c6-cb1e1108efdb.html |
HAWKINS COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) – The Hawkins County Commission met Monday night and passed its 2022-23 budget, and commissioners also voted in favor of raising the county property tax rate.
According to Hawkins County Director of Accounts and Budgets Eric Buchanan, the property tax rate will increase by 15 cents. The increase, which Buchanan said is the first the county has seen in several years, will cost the average homeowner about $37.50 annually. That average was calculated by using the typical property value of $100,000.
The property tax increase passed by a vote of 14-6 with one commissioner absent.
The actual budget passed with the addition of a pay adjustment for county employees. Buchanan said county employees who fall under general fund or work in solid waste will see a rise of 9% in pay.
The pay increase was referred to by Buchanan as a “COLA” (cost of living adjustment) and aims to keep the county pay competitive. A motion was made Monday night to increase pay by 12%, but that motion failed.
The full budget passed with a vote of 13-6 with two commissioners absent.
Buchanan said after the tax increase and pay change for county employees, the budget deficit will come out to roughly $1.6 million. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/hawkins-county-commission-passes-budget-raises-property-tax/ | 2022-07-26T19:20:20 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/hawkins-county-commission-passes-budget-raises-property-tax/ |
MOUNT CARMEL, Tenn. (WJHL) – A vehicle crashed into an EMS building in Mount Carmel Tuesday, causing visible damage to a brick wall that someone was sitting on the other side of.
News Channel 11 had a crew on the scene of the EMS station on Hammond Avenue. A gray Kia was seen in the grass next to the building, where a window and wall had been slammed into.
News Channel 11’s crew saw a person at the scene who had been placed in the back of a Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) vehicle.
As of 2 p.m., firefighters were shoring up the wall of the building.
The Mount Carmel Fire Department told News Channel 11 that the Kia had left the road roughly 50-100 yards from the building before traveling through a yard. While driving through the yard, the vehicle hit a tree, a stump and flower bed before colliding with the building.
The person on the other side of the wall was transported to a nearby hospital for observation. No further details were released on the extent of that person’s injuries.
The fire department is expected to release more details Tuesday. News Channel 11 has also reached out to the THP for more information, including charges that may follow the crash. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/vehicle-crashes-into-mount-carmel-ems-building-sends-1-to-hospital/ | 2022-07-26T19:20:26 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/vehicle-crashes-into-mount-carmel-ems-building-sends-1-to-hospital/ |
Jan. 6 defendant from Polk City wants new charge - a felony - dismissed
Doolin also asks to block evidence involving weapons
Joshua Doolin, a Polk City resident charged in connection with the U.S. Capitol Riot, is asking a judge to dismiss a recently added felony count and to limit testimony in his September trial.
Doolin’s lawyer wants U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols to remove the charge of obstructing, impeding or interfering with a law-enforcement officer, which was added in a new indictment filed July 13 against Doolin and four fellow defendants.
Allen H. Orenberg, Doolin’s lawyer, filed the motion Sunday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In the 17-page motion, Orenberg asked Nichols to dismiss the count from the superseding indictment.
Orenberg filed a second motion Sunday requesting the judge to block prosecutors from mentioning weapons, ammunition or body armor at Doolin’s trial, scheduled to begin Sept. 12 in Washington, D.C.
Doolin's first felony charge
Doolin, 24, was indicted and arrested in June 2021. The original indictment charged him with two misdemeanors, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.
The superseding indictment added three counts, including Doolin’s first felony charge. It also includes new charges against co-defendants Jonathan Pollock, formerly of Lakeland and now a fugitive; his sister, Olivia Pollock of Lakeland; and two friends, Joseph Hutchinson III, formerly of Lakeland and now living in Georgia; and Michael Perkins of Plant City.
In the motion, Orenberg wrote that Doolin is charged with obstructing an officer trying to quell a civil disorder. The lawyer argued that prosecutors are required to prove four points: that a civil disorder existed at the time of Doolin’s alleged crimes; that the disorder negatively affected commerce or a federally protected function; that officers were lawfully engaged in performing their duties at the time; and that Doolin knowingly committed or attempted to commit an act with the specific intent of impeding officers.
The Jan. 6, 2021, attack occurred as members of Congress were meeting to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. Supporters of former President Donald Trump gathered at the Capitol to protest the confirmation of Joe Biden’s election.
An unknown number of rioters broke into the Capitol, forcing members of Congress to flee their chambers and interrupting the certification process. The attack resulted in five deaths and injuries to about 140 law-enforcement officers, according to federal authorities. Rioters also caused damage to the Capitol estimated at $2.7 million.

- Latest Lakeland Jan. 6 defendant Brian Boele released on bond
- 'Extremely dangerous': Feds seek to limit contact between Polk's January 6 defendants
Doolin is not accused of entering the Capitol.
In his motion, Orenberg argued that the federal law Doolin is accused of violating is unconstitutionally vague and that it criminalizes protected speech under the First Amendment.
“Indeed, the broadness of (the law’s) scope would presumably authorize a felony conviction for a bystander who yells at police to desist from arrest, one who flips off officers to distract or encourage resistance, or one who records police activity with a cell phone,” Orenberg wrote.
Aiming to exclude weapons testimony
In the second motion, Orenberg asked Nichols to prevent prosecutors from introducing any evidence or testimony regarding weapons, ammunition or body armor. He wrote that prosecutors are expected to introduce as evidence text messages Doolin exchanged with an unidentified person on Jan. 4, 2021, discussing his plans to travel to Washington, D.C.
In the texts, Doolin allegedly mentioned bringing an “AR” – a reference to a style of semi-automatic rifle – and said he expected “Jonny” to bring “mags,” or magazines containing ammunition. That is an apparent reference to his cousin, Jonathan Pollock.
Orenberg wrote that prosecutors may also seek to introduce evidence that a rifle was found under a bed in Doolin’s home during execution of a search warrant on Dec. 2, 2021. The presence of the weapon violated the terms of Doolin’s conditional release.
Doolin told Nichols in a hearing that his wife had stored the weapon in the home without his knowledge. The judge denied a motion by prosecutors to have Doolin’s bond revoked for the violation.
Orenberg argued that even if Nichols provides careful jury instructions on how to consider the evidence, references to and images of weapons, ammunition or body armor would “evoke an emotional response far exceeding the probative value of the evidence.”
Prosecution seeks to limit defense
Doolin’s motions came two days after prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia filed three motions of their own. In one, prosecutors asked Nichols to limit the evidence that Doolin can present at trial.
The motion seeks to prevent Doolin from arguing that his actions on Jan. 6, were authorized by former President Trump, who had encouraged supporters for months and during a speech that day to pressure members of Congress not to certify Biden’s election.
The motion states that in a post-arrest interview with the FBI, Doolin said he did not believe he was trespassing at the U.S. Capitol and that Trump “had told people that they could go to the Capitol.”
Prosecutors asked the judge to block evidence encouraging jury nullification, the act of jurors disregarding fact-finding and conclusions under the law. They also sought to preclude evidence that Doolin acted in self-defense or the defense of others.
The motion says Doolin has not raised such an argument but added that his actions – allegedly pushing toward the Capitol entrance on Jan. 6 – undermine any potential claim that he was defending himself.
Prosecutors asked Nichols to block “improper character evidence” relating to Doolin’s previous role as an emergency medical technician. Doolin had worked for Polk County Fire Rescue as an EMT for less than two months before his arrest, after which he was dismissed. Prosecutors argued that Doolin’s past service is unrelated to the charges he is facing and that any evidence, such as letters of commendation, would be hearsay.
Finally, prosecutors asked Nichols to block any argument about his culpability compared to that of his co-defendants or acts of “good conduct” by Doolin on Jan. 6. The four co-defendants all face felony charges, including assaults on law-enforcement officers.
The motion states that during a post-arrest interview Doolin said he and others formed a wall around an officer who had been dragged into the crowd in order to defend them and that Doolin believed he might have saved the officer’s life.
“The Court should preclude any argument that the defendant’s lack of additional criminal conduct on January 6, 2021 or allegedly helpful acts negate his criminal conduct,” prosecutors wrote, adding that “many Capitol Riot defendants acted both violently and helpfully towards law enforcement at different times on January 6, 2021.”
Doolin has requested that his trial be moved from Washington, D.C., to Florida. In the motion, Orenberg argued that Doolin could not receive a fair trial in the nation’s capital. Nichols has not yet ruled on that request.
Doolin is one of six current or former Polk County residents charged with crimes related to the U.S. Capitol riot. Corinne Montoni of Lakeland faces misdemeanor charges, and Brian Boele of Lakeland is separately charged with one felony and three misdemeanor offenses.

3 Chandler candidates refuse to share stance on election integrity; 1 raises the possibility of fraud
Of the eight people running for office in Chandler, four say there is no evidence of widespread fraud in Arizona during the 2020 presidential election, one raises the possibility of it and three didn't answer — including both mayoral candidates.
Election integrity has become a hot button issue in Arizona, even though claims of widespread election fraud were dismissed in dozens of courtrooms in the state and around the country after the 2020 presidential election. A months-long ballot review and hand recount in Maricopa County attempted to raise questions about election security but found no widespread fraud.
Yet some candidates for office across Arizona in 2022 continue to challenge or question the results of the 2020 presidential election. Some candidates for local office are no exception.
The Republic posed the question of election integrity to each of the people running for leadership positions in Chandler. That includes Mayor Kevin Hartke, who seeks a second term, and mayoral challenger Ruth Jones, who moved to Chandler two years ago from Clearfield, Utah, where she served on the city’s planning commission.
Council candidates include Angel Encinas, Darla Gonzalez, incumbent Matt Orlando, Jane Poston, Farhana Shifa and write-in candidate Cody Hannah.
Chandler election:Where mayoral, City Council candidates stand on housing, LGBTQ protections
Hear from Chandler's candidates
The Republic asked Chandler's candidates if they believe President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and whether they believe there was widespread election fraud in Arizona.
Here's how each of them responded.
Poston: "I believe Biden won the election, as reports show there was no widespread election fraud.
"This isn’t an issue that councilmembers oversee, but I am committed to ensuring voting integrity. It’s critical that Chandler voters trust the election process.
"I will focus on the issues that I can influence, including public safety staffing, fiscal responsibility and responsiveness to residents and businesses."
Encinas: "While I understand the concerns and need for election integrity to foster faith and trust in our electoral process, there has been zero evidence of fraudulent election results in 2020 in both courts and recounts across the country. My time and effort are dedicated solely to a clean and positive campaign to build community in Chandler, not continued divisiveness."
Hannah: "I do believe Joe Biden won the 2020 general election against Donald Trump. The AZ GOP has been grasping at straws attempting to find some evidence of election fraud for going on two years now, and they have presented nothing substantial while making a mockery of our state in the process. I would think after spending so much time looking for that evidence, the AZGOP would have found and presented it by now, but I have not at this point seen any evidence that I believe backs up the claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 election.
"Now, do I believe that means our electoral system has integrity? Absolutely not. We do not have election integrity, or even a functioning democracy.
"Our elected officials are bought and paid for by corporations and special interests, and they work on behalf of those donors, not the working people of Arizona. Further, the Democratic and Republican parties have time and again passed legislation that made it more difficult for independents and third party candidates to get on the ballot, robbing voters of true choice. Similarly, our 'first-past-the-post' system of voting is undemocratic and does not accurately reflect the will of the whole of the voting public like ranked choice voting with proportional representation and multi-member districts would. For all those reasons, I would conclude that the system that we have is not a democracy, but an oligarchy, and that is not what I would define as an election system with integrity."
Orlando: "Yes, I believe Joe Biden won the election. As a candidate who’s run in six-plus issue free elections, I believe in the multiple impartial audits and investigations that proved there was not widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. I want to move away from issues in which the City Council has no involvement and work on things that are important to the residents of Chandler — public safety, a better quality of life, safe and stable neighborhoods, education of tomorrow’s workforce and creating jobs for a better future."
Gonzalez: "I think fraud has been happening for a long time from both sides. Election integrity is not a new issue. People cheat, they are fallible. There is always room for improvement."
Hartke and Jones did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
Shifa declined to answer the question, saying that the presidential election is a "nationwide" issue and that she is focused on the role of City Council, which "takes care of the everyday, local issues of the voters."
"It is so hard to bring voters' minds to local politics," she said. "It's a nationwide tension, and through our campaign trail, we are trying to educate people on the local (necessities) that (we) need to pay attention (to), so it's going to dilute all of our efforts; again, we are diverting people from our local issues to the national questions."
Election 2022:These Arizona candidates still say Donald Trump won in 2020, or they're not sure
Gonzalez's involvement in radio show
Gonzalez, the only candidate to directly raise the possibility of widespread voter fraud in response to The Arizona Republic, appeared twice on a conservative radio show hosted by Brian Sussman, a former Bay Area radio personality and meteorologist, in her capacity as grassroots director of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club.
Immediately before her first appearance on "Straight Talk Sedona" on Jan. 7, Sussman said referring to the U.S. Capitol riot as an insurrection was propaganda.
Gonzalez was on the show to promote her organization's efforts to engage Arizona conservatives on tax reform and related issues. She told The Republic that she wasn't aware of Sussman's comments before appearing on that show, but that Sussman "has a right to his opinions" and that Chandler voters can trust her to accept the results of the upcoming Aug. 2 election, no matter the outcome.
"If I didn’t believe there were some integrities in elections, why would I even run for an elected position?" Gonzalez asked.
Four months later, Gonzalez would again appear on the show, this time to touch on elections.
During her appearance, Gonzalez expressed opposition to the Arizonans for Free and Fair Elections Act, a ballot initiative that proposes more than four dozen changes to election and voting procedures with the goal of broadening voting access. The initiative is currently going through signature review to appear on the November ballot.
Sussman said the initiative would make it easier for "illegal aliens" to vote, and Gonzalez expressed agreement. Later in the show, she said the initiative would "allow for ballot trafficking" and that the initiative's push to eliminate precinct voting is "a recipe for fraud" that could "confuse" the counting of ballots.
The ballot initiative would allow voters to cast their ballots at any "in-county precinct." Maricopa County has already switched from precinct polling sites to vote centers in recent years, allowing voters to go to any of the county's vote centers to cast ballots, rather than having an assigned polling precinct.
Gonzalez urged listeners to support a different ballot measure, the Arizonans For Voter ID Act, which, among other changes, would require proof of identification if somebody drops off a mail-in ballot in person "to prevent ballot harvesting," according to the initiative's website. That measure was referred to the November ballot by state lawmakers.
"We're fighting for freedom and we're not going to stop," Gonzalez said on the show. "We're going to have our voices heard and we're going to equal that playing field, and we're going to have a red wave go over Arizona. We're keeping this state red and we're fighting to the end."
Currently, early ballots must be returned by the voter, a family member, household member or designated caregiver, according to state law. Voters are required to show ID when voting in person but not while dropping off mailed ballots.
In emailing The Republic, Gonzalez pushed back on the assertion that "2000 Mules," a widely debunked documentary that alleges without proof that widescale ballot harvesting occurred during the 2020 presidential election, contained misinformation.
"I am my own fact-checker," she said. "I think '2000 Mules' was eye opening for many people and people should watch it and decide for themselves if they deem it credible or not. Ballot harvesting happens, I know people who have witnessed it right in their office or place of business."

30-year-old man set on fire outside of Circle K in Glendale dies
The man who was set on fire at a bus stop outside of a Circle K in Glendale earlier in July has died, according to police.
Blake Angerer, 30, died after a man poured gasoline over him and set him on fire with a blue butane torch on July 3. Jose Miguel Santiago, a spokesperson for Glendale police, said in an emailed statement that Angerer has died from his injuries.
Luciano Simmons was arrested as a suspect in the case and was booked into Maricopa County Jail facing charges of aggravated assault. It is unclear if the charges will change due to Angerer's death.
Court documents obtained by The Arizona Republic state witnesses told police that Simmons was at the bus stop near the Circle K when he went to purchase gasoline. Another witness told police they saw when Simmons lit Angerer on fire.
Surveillance video released by police shows Angerer and another man running in the direction of the store, away from the bus stop. Other footage released by police shows a person running into the store and grabbing gallons of water before Angerer makes his way into the store, half his body covered in flames.
In a 911 call audio released by police, the owner of the store is heard calling for help. The owner told the dispatcher they poured water over Angerer and put out the flames.
A water bottle that had a strong scent of gasoline was recovered at the scene, according to the documents.
After being arrested, Simmons admitted to police that he was at the Circle K and purchased the $1 of gasoline. He did not say more on the matter.

'We are demanding our freedom': Arizona women share their abortion stories at Planned Parenthood event
Lindsey Nelson never thought she would want or need an abortion.
“I was raised in a very anti-abortion household,” she said. “So when I got very sick and pregnant with an IUD, my parents and I had a very hard decision to make.”
If current Arizona laws were in place at the time, she said that she and her doctors would not have been able to make a clear decision because the gestational age could not be determined. She would have had to spend months in the hospital waiting for her body to naturally miscarry her nonviable pregnancy, she said.
“I couldn’t tell you my first name, couldn’t eat or walk,” she said, alluding to how physically sick she was at the time. “They would have had to take care of me in the hospital for months. I would have gone into countless dollars of medical and business debt, and I’m sure that I would have had a substantial mental health crisis.”
Nelson was among those who shared their stories on Monday at Planned Parenthood in Phoenix. “I am out here talking because I know that people that don’t think that Roe is important are going to need it,” she said.
The event came one month after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and as Arizona hangs in limbo on which abortion law will rule — a state law from 1864 banning nearly all abortions and criminalizing abortion providers, or a 15-week ban signed into law in March by Gov. Doug Ducey.

Abortions halted, but Planned Parenthood is advocating for choices
Planned Parenthood has stopped providing abortions in Arizona while it waits for legal clarity. In the meantime, it is connecting people with abortion services in other states through its patient navigation program — mostly in southern California, according to Planned Parenthood CEO and President Brittany Fonteno. It is also continuing to support patients seeking its other healthcare services through its volunteer clinic escort program.
Next, the organization is looking to the ballot box, endorsing 35 candidates for local and statewide office in the upcoming midterm elections.
In the past month, Planned Parenthood Arizona has seen a surge in requests for birth control, specifically long-acting reversible contraception like IUDs, Fonteno said. Its centers will introduce vasectomy services in the fall.
Last week, the organization filed a court challenge to block the Arizona attorney general’s attempt to return to enforcing the 158-year-old law.
Women at Monday's event spoke of how their abortions allowed them to leave unhealthy relationships, become financially stable, finish their education and further their careers, to ultimately provide for children they decided to have later on in life.
They encouraged those who feel helpless to volunteer as a clinic escort, donate to abortion funds (especially in states with the most restrictive abortion laws) and to call and email legislators.
Nelson and others expressed concerns about the type of healthcare Arizonans will receive during pregnancy in a post-Roe world
“Abortion is central to our ability to create the families and communities that we want, and to live the lives that we want to live,” Fonteno said. As the CEO of Planned Parenthood Arizona, she said that people often assume that she must have had an abortion.
“The truth is, I’ve never had an abortion,” she said. “But I know what it is to have my bodily autonomy stolen from me. As a young person in college, there was that experience that led me into this movement."
Fonteno also cited her father — a civil rights activist — as an inspiration for her work.
“Like many Black and Brown families, I saw inequities in access to healthcare, education, and opportunities in my own family. So I set out to do my small part to contribute to a fight, a brighter and more equitable future for my community.”
“Bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom are the freedoms from which so many other freedoms flow,” Fonteno said. “Today we are sharing our stories. We are speaking out. And we are demanding our freedom.”

Officer Zachary Anderson testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee during a hearing on violence against police on Tuesday. Andersen was a Grundy County deputy when Sgt. Jim Smith was killed in Grundy Center. Andersen is now with the Cedar Falls Police Department.

Zachary Andersen described seeing Sgt. Jim Smith yell “gun” and then hearing the sound of a shotgun during trial on May 11. Anderson was a Grundy County deputy at the time. He is currently an officer with Cedar Falls Police.
GRUNDY CENTER — Zachary Andersen said he reconsidered his career in law enforcement after he watched Sgt. Jim Smith die in a standoff at a Grundy Center home in April 2021.
“I did question if I wanted to continue in this field as a direct result of this incident. Is it worth it? What is being done to support us after a major incident like this?” said Andersen, who was a Grundy County sheriff’s deputy at the time of the shooting and is now a public safety officer with the Cedar Falls Police Department.
His comments came Tuesday as he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C., as the nation experiences a rise in attacks on law enforcement.
Committee chairman Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois is pushing for a bill to address illegal firearms trafficking. The bill is named after Ella French, a Chicago officer killed with a straw-man-purchased gun during a 2021 traffic stop.
Committee member Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa is proposing his own bill -- titled the Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act -- to gather more data on violence against police officers, including information about nonfatal assaults.
Other bills in the works would make attacking police a federal offense.
Andersen was part of a team led by Smith, a trooper with the Iowa State Patrol, that entered Michael Thomas Lang’s home to arrest him after he fought with a Grundy Center police officer in an earlier traffic stop.
Lang shot Smith in the chest and leg with shotgun slugs when Smith opened a door to the kitchen and then fired another slug at a trooper driving an armored vehicle. Lang was convicted for murder in Smith’s death during a trial earlier this year and was sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years.
“Today I can tell you that I’m doing OK, but I know others are not. Actions need to be taken to protect those of us in this line of work. We need to have the right support and resources opposing ‘defund the police.’ The image of an officer has been tarnished in recent years. The rhetoric used by the media doesn’t do us any favors with clickbait headlines of what an officer did or didn’t do without painting the rest of the picture,” Andersen said.
Andersen testified at Lang’s trial and on Tuesday was asked about the shooter’s motivation in the attack.
“He had a clear, known disdain for law enforcement in the community, very well known. And on the day of that incident, he baited an officer into a pursuit purposefully to draw that officer out of town to attack that officer. He had a crazy idea he was going to teach that officer a lesson that day."
Grassley also read into the record a letter by Smith’s widow, Kathy Smith, urging lawmakers to take steps to protect officers from attacks.
“My husband had a love for justice and was one of the many who swore to protect others. He, along with many others, ended up giving his life for the sake of Justice. It is in honor of him and the fallen heroes that I plead with you to do something to help prevent future losses of our law enforcement officer,” the letter stated.
Her letter also recounted how her husband had been assigned to a tactical team tasked with protecting the state capital during police reform demonstrations where protestors spit on them and hurled frozen water bottles.
The hearing came as reports of violence against law enforcement continued to grow.
Nationwide, 73 officers were intentionally killed last year, the highest number since the 9/11 attacks and a 59% increase from the previous year. Also, 133 officers were shot in ambush style attacks, an increase of 123% over the previous year.
“A main cause of this violence against police is the demonization and disrespect shown to the profession of law enforcement throughout the country. When you allow hatred of a group to spread, people find it easy to justify violent attacks against them,” Grassley said.
Other witnesses called to testify at the hearing included Angel Novalez, chief of policing reform for the Chicago Police Department; Commissioner Michael S. Harrison with the Baltimore Police Department; Chief Dwight E. Henninger with the Vail, Colorado, Police Department; Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard with the Oakland County, Mich., Sheriff's Office; and Sgt. Demetrick “Tre” Pennie, director of the National Fallen Officer Foundation.
In addition to the increase in violence against officers, many talked of the challenge to recruit new officers into field and retain existing officers.
Jurors also found Michael Thomas Lang guilty of attempted murder for shooting at armored vehicle driver, assault on officer for earlier struggle with police.

DES MOINES (AP) — The chances are steadily rising that someone will win the massive $830 million Mega Millions jackpot on Tuesday night, but will it be you?
Almost certainly not.
That's because while the nation's fourth-largest lottery prize has sparked a surge in sales that will mean more possible number combinations are covered, your odds of winning remain the same. At 1 in 302.5 million, they're pretty miserable.
National Mega Millions sales rose from $116 million for the July 19 drawing to $172.1 million for the July 22 drawing, according to Marie Kilbane, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Lottery Commission. And with all the attention on Tuesday's giant prize, lottery officials expect sales to climb to $262.1 million for the drawing.
The additional ticket purchases mean that while 23% of all number combinations were covered for the July 22 drawing, about 33% will be covered for Tuesday's.
Sales likely will grow even larger if there again isn't a winner. Kilbane says the jackpot likely would top $1 billion for Friday's drawing.
The last time someone beat the staggering odds and won the Mega Millions jackpot was April 15, when a Tennessee player matched all six numbers and snagged a $20 million prize.
Since then there have been 28 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner, allowing the prize to grow week after week.
Although someone theoretically could buy all the 302.5 million possible number combinations, in practice it would be nearly impossible and would likely be a financial flop.
That's because even after coming up with more than $600 million to buy all those $2 tickets, a team of people would need to somehow coordinate their request of each number combination and payment. Considering the hundreds of millions of options, it would be a staggering chore.
Even if someone accomplished that task, keep in mind that the advertised $830 million prize is for the annuity option, paid annually over 30 years. Nearly everyone opts for cash, which for Tuesday's drawing would be $487.9 million, of which about one-third would go toward federal taxes with possibly more for state taxes, depending on where the buyer lived.
After all that, there is a chance that some of the countless people who also plunk down a few bucks for a ticket could hit the winning numbers, meaning the potential jackpot would be divided in half or in thirds.
Winless streaks have gone longer in the past, with the record being a 36-roll run that ended Jan. 22, 2021, with a $1.05 billion Mega Millions payout in Michigan. That was the third-largest prize ever won.
The biggest was a gargantuan $1.586 Powerball jackpot won in 2016 by three players in California, Florida and Tennessee.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game is overseen by state lottery officials.
Waterloo Police announced Thursday a third person had been arrested last week on felony money laundering charges related to the two-year investigation.
Three Cedar Falls family members died Friday at Maquoketa Caves State Park in apparent homicides, with a fourth person dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The mother of a man suspected of killing a Cedar Falls couple and their daughter at an Iowa state park said her son gave no indication anything was wrong prior to the shooting.
Cedar Falls Public Library patrons found the doors shut Saturday after the slaying of employee Sarah Schmidt, along with her husband, Tyler, and their 6-year-old daughter, Lula.

The payoff for Tuesday night's drawing is an estimated $830 million, the nation's fourth-largest jackpot. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/is-this-the-night-you-win-830-million-mega-millions-prize/article_d04e8506-e4be-56ac-bea7-e4c2373be16d.html | 2022-07-26T19:38:34 | 1 | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/is-this-the-night-you-win-830-million-mega-millions-prize/article_d04e8506-e4be-56ac-bea7-e4c2373be16d.html |
CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati officer’s police powers have been suspended after her body cam captured her saying a racial slur while on duty and in uniform.
Footage from Officer Rose Valentino’s body-worn camera and mobile video recording show her driving past Western Hills University High School on her way to the District Three station on Ferguson Road April 5. According to an internal report, Valentino turned on her lights and sirens to signal for parked cars waiting to pick up students to move.
“You gotta move,” Valentino said. “F****** ridiculous, f****** a*******. Is she gonna f****** just sit there?”
As she starts driving again, Valentino says, “Oh I f****** hate them so much, God I hate this f****** world.” She then rolls down her window at the station gate to enter.
When she rolls her window back up, Valentino mutters under her breath.
“F****** n******,” she said. “I f****** hate em.”
Valentino turns off her body-worn camera, but the mobile video recording in her cruiser captures her saying, “And there it is,” as she pulls into the station parking lot.
According to the internal report, Valentino admitted to cursing at drivers who didn’t move their cars. She said she used the racial slur in reference to a Black teen who flipped her off while walking down the sidewalk after school.
The internal report says Valentino claimed she had been “desensitized to racially offensive language by music and hearing people talk on the street” and “frequent exposure had allowed the slur to slip into her vernacular.”
Valentino has been a police officer with CPD since 2008. Performance reports show Valentino consistently met or exceeded standards for patrolling. She trains officers who recently graduated from the academy and her supervisors said she was dedicated and that she “does great work.”
The 14-year veteran has been reprimanded for not turning on her body camera multiple times, and she was one of three officers involved in a lawsuit involving race in November 2018.
The city settled the lawsuit with realtor Jerry Isham and prospective homeowner Anthony Edwards, who said they were illegally detained at a showing in West Price Hill after a retired police officer called 911 for a break-in. Court documents show Valentino escalated the situation by aiming her gun at the two men and putting them in handcuffs.
In March 2020, Valentino was convicted by plea of disorderly conduct after pushing and punching two family members — and using an umbrella to damage a car — while off duty. She was referred to a behavioral health center for anger management.
Cincinnati’s interim city manager John Curp said in a statement Interim CPD Chief Teresa Theetge has suspended Valentino’s police powers while a disciplinary hearing process takes place.
“Officer Valentino will not be on city streets in uniform, wearing a badge, or carrying a firearm,” Curp said.
The process, Curp said, is mandated by contractual requirements of the collective bargaining agreement between the FOP and city.
“We hold all of our employees, and especially our sworn police officers, to high standards,” Curp said in part. “The body camera video of Officer Rose Valentino is disturbing. I expect CPD to thoroughly investigate this matter and recommend discipline in strict accordance with the city’s disciplinary procedures.”
Two CPD officers are suing the city and former Chief Eliot Isaac for employment discrimination after disciplinary actions they received after using the same word while on the job. One officer is white, while the other is Black. | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/body-cam-shows-cincinnati-police-officer-use-racial-slur-while-on-duty-in-uniform/GQ2J34DIBJB4LHKWGLEGDZZ4WE/ | 2022-07-26T19:39:42 | 1 | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/body-cam-shows-cincinnati-police-officer-use-racial-slur-while-on-duty-in-uniform/GQ2J34DIBJB4LHKWGLEGDZZ4WE/ |
The U.S. House of the Representatives is scheduled to vote on a bill restoring pensions for Delphi salaried retirees, most likely Wednesday evening, according to U.S. Rep. Mike Turner’s office.
The next step would be shifting the legislation to consideration in the Senate, a spokeswoman for Turner said Tuesday.
Still, this would be a milestone vote for hundreds of Dayton-area Delphi retired managers and engineers who fought for well over a decade to restore pensions lost or reduced in the bankruptcy of Delphi. Some local retirees will be flying into Washington, D.C. for the vote, said Rachel Walker, a spokeswoman for Turner.
The history in this drama is complex. Auto parts producer and one-time Dayton manufacturer Delphi (now Aptiv Plc) filed for bankruptcy in October 2005. General Motors, which used to own Delphi, went through its own bankruptcy journey four years later.
An association of retired Delphi salaried employees sued the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. in 2009 after the agency took over employee pensions in the wake of Delphi’s bankruptcy.
The relinquishment of the pensions to the PBGC left Delphi salaried retirees with greatly diminished pensions, which stung particularly because GM continued contributing to the pensions of union-represented retirees, under the guidance of the then-new Obama administration.
The salaried retirees never begrudged their hourly counterparts their full pensions. They just wanted the same treatment.
Courts were never kind to the retirees’ legal efforts. A U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals decision sided with a March 2019 Michigan federal court ruling that dismissed the retirees’ lawsuit against the PBGC.
And in January 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
Turner first announced the legislative effort last October, although at the time he declined to put a timeline on the effort.
“Tomorrow’s vote in the House is a critical step to bringing this issue affecting more than 5,000 Ohioans to a resolution and returning to them the benefits they so rightly earned,” Turner said in a statement Tuesday.
Some observers have always maintained that this was a job for Congress.
“What happened 10 years ago was a tragedy, but what has happened since has been a scam because the politicians won’t do the one thing that will get the pensions back,” Joshua Gotbaum, who led the PBGC from late 2010 until 2014, told the Dayton Daily News in 2018.
Sen. Sherrod Brown has scheduled a phone press conference Wednesday to discuss his legislation aiming at protecting pensions nationwide. Bruce Gump, a leader in the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association, is scheduled to participate.

Their first flight demonstrations won’t happen until Saturday afternoon, but some of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight team should arrive early Thursday.
The team is scheduled to arrive at Dayton International Airport at about 10 a.m. Thursday, weather permitting, according to the CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show.
The air show happens Saturday and Sunday at Dayton International.
The Navy’s famed flight demonstration squadron will perform with their new F/A-18 Super Hornets in Dayton for the first time this weekend. Another local connection: The planes’ electric generators are made by GE Aviation employees in Vandalia.
The Blue Angels team will travel with 55 team members to orchestrate those flights.
Earlier this month, the Blue Angels selected the squadron’s first female demonstration pilot, Lt. Amanda Lee, of Minnesota. Hundreds of women have served with the Blue Angels in a variety of capacities over 55 years, but Lee is the first woman to serve as demonstration pilot, the Navy said.
The squadron’s last show was July 23-24 at the Milwaukee Air and Water Show.
Dayton Air Show gates open both days at 9 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. Aerial shows will take place from noon to 4:15 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The schedule is the same both days, except for a fly-by from a U.S. Air Force E-3 AWACS Sunday only.

BLOOMINGTON — Five Central Illinois counties are getting state funding to improve the technology and resources available for litigants who represent themselves in court.
The Administrative Office of Illinois Courts, through its Access to Justice Office, awarded two Self-Represented Litigant Coordinator grants of almost $32,000 to courts in the Eleventh Illinois Judicial Circuit . Woodford County received a grant for $11,943.22, and $20,000 was awarded to Ford, Livingston, Logan, and McLean counties, officials said.
Of those funds, the McLean County Law and Justice Center received about $2,800 to help upgrade computers in the justice center's law library on the sixth floor, said Eleventh Judicial Circuit trial court administrator William Scanlon.
Livingston County plans to focus grant money on improving the courthouse's information area for self-represented litigants, and Logan County will focus their grant money on an additional litigant workspace.
Ford County plans to add a new computer, scanner and printer that litigants can use. Woodford County plans to add a fourth public access e-filing station along with other improvements to help litigants.
Logan and Woodford counties also each hosted their first JusticeCorps Fellows, who are AmeriCorps volunteers placed in courthouses around Illinois to help people without lawyers navigate the civil justice system.
This is the fourth grant year for the Eleventh Illinois Judicial Circuit.

BLOOMINGTON — About $7 million of the city of Bloomington's $13.4 million in federal coronavirus relief funding has been committed to various infrastructure projects over the next two years.
On Monday, the Bloomington City Council approved a resolution laying out a framework for how officials want to allocate the entirety of the money the city received under the American Rescue Plan Act.
ARPA was the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package passed in 2021 to help individuals and all levels of government deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bloomington City Manager Tim Gleason recommended reserving $9 million of the funding for city infrastructure and splitting the remaining money evenly between economic development and socioeconomic opportunities. Much of the infrastructure funding has already been spent or committed, he said.
Although the resolution categorizes preferred ARPA spending, the council must still approve individual expenditures.
"Also, this is a resolution and if we find that there is a higher priority or a change in the vision by the elected officials, we can make that change," Gleason said. "But like many communities, we were asked and the expectation by the community (is) to show what value are we placing on these funds that we received from the federal government."
Infrastructure expenses targeted for ARPA include asphalt and concrete work for the 2022 and 2023 construction seasons, design work for hydraulic modeling to eliminate storm water issues within the community and the combination of two design phases for the Locust Street/Colton Avenue combined sewer overflow elimination and water main replacement project.
Some council members voiced concerns about reshuffling the purposes of ARPA funding down the road.
First Ward Alderman Grant Walch said he would like to see a set date written into a future ordinance that if the money isn't spent on one of the three categories of spending, it automatically shifts to another category.
"I think that would give some encouragement to maybe spend it on economic development," Walch said.
Seventh Ward Alderwoman Mollie Ward, however, said she was concerned that if the city doesn't market the availability of the federal funding, it could be put into a situation where no one tries to tap into it.
"I hope that we can include in whatever application and process we create a serious effort to market this rather than to sort of allow the clock to tick out," Ward said.
Communities have until the end of 2024 to commit all of their ARPA funding and until the end of 2026 to spend it.
Because allocations have to be locked in by the end of 2024, Gleason proposed introducing a running total of ARPA appropriations for each individual funding request that comes before council.
New ward boundaries
In other business, the council also voted to set new boundaries to Bloomington's nine wards.
The law requires that there should not be a 10% disparity in population between any wards. But according to 2020 census data, Ward Seven on the northwest side of town had 11.8% deviation from an average ward's population and Ward Eight in the southeast side of town had a 25.5% deviation.
Therefore, city staff developed alternative maps using GIS redistricting software.
The council settled on a map that relocated two precincts out of the eighth ward and moved one precinct into the seventh ward. Some of the biggest changes are in the sixth ward, which lost three of its districts but gained two new ones, and the fourth ward, which lost one district and gained three.
The map was approved by a 6-3 vote with council members Ward, Julie Emig of the fourth ward and Jeff Crabill of the eighth ward voting against it.
Ward said the council had talked about how important it is for neighborhoods to be connected but this doesn't seem to be the case on the west side of the approved map. | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/9-million-in-covid-relief-funding-to-fund-bloomington-infrastructure/article_b25cc72a-0c81-11ed-bd73-c3ba34a4d8f3.html | 2022-07-26T19:48:57 | 1 | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/9-million-in-covid-relief-funding-to-fund-bloomington-infrastructure/article_b25cc72a-0c81-11ed-bd73-c3ba34a4d8f3.html |

De La Cerda was taken to a hospital where he later died, Bower said.
The investigation was ongoing and there was no suspect information, according to Bower.

DALLAS — Police on Tuesday released surveillance video of the shooting at Dallas Love Field airport, showing a chaotic, tense scene as a woman fired a gun, travelers took cover and a officer returned fire.
Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia walked media through the footage, which was edited by police and did not include audio.
The video showed a woman in a hoodie and a mask walk to an area near the Southwest ticket counter.
Several dozen people were standing in the area with their suitcases at ticket kiosks. The area is adjacent to the security checkpoint at Love Field.
The video highlighted the suspect - identified by police as Portia Odufuwa - and a Dallas police officer.
The suspect then raised a gun into the air and fired three shots in the air, according to Garcia. The travelers in the area scattered and took cover; the officer took a position behind a ticket kiosk.
The suspect then pointed toward the officer; police said in an affidavit that she fired toward the officer, according to evidence of rounds collected at the scene.
The officer returned fire and the suspect went down and began to crawl, before coming to a stop.
The suspect was shot in an area between two ticket counters; a Southwest employee to the suspect's left can be seen running away behind the counter.
At least one traveler could be seen huddling behind a kiosk between the officer and the suspect.
The suspect appeared to keep moving her legs on the ground but she was staying in the same area. Other travelers in the area continued to retreat and try to take cover.
A second officer then approached where the first officer was standing, both of them pointing their weapons at the suspect. More officers arrived at the scene.
The suspect was then taken into custody and taken to a hospital for treatment.
About 14 seconds elapsed from the time the suspect raised her arm in the air to the time the officer returned fire and put her down, shooting her in the lower part of her body.
No other injuries were reported during the incident, which unfolded around 11 a.m. Monday.
An affidavit released Tuesday shed more light on the incident, saying Odufuwa threatened to blow up the airport before firing two shots into the ceiling. Police also later found a round "with a trajectory that was located in the kiosk near where" the officer was taking cover, "confirming that she was shooting at the officer during the encounter," the affidavit said.
Shortly after the woman fired her weapon, the officer, who was not injured, returned several shots, causing the woman to fall to the ground as she was shot in the lower body.
It was not initially clear where the woman was aiming with her shots, or what her motive might have been, Garcia said Monday, noting that the woman's shots did not strike anyone else in the airport.
The shooting forced airport security officials to evacuate the entire airport and re-screen everyone. The incident led to hundreds of delays of Southwest flights, impacting more than 30,000 passengers, as Love Field operations were halted for hours.
Dallas police on Tuesday asked the public for anyone else who might have cell phone video of the shooting. Police gave a link to where people can upload their videos here. | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/dallas-love-field-airport-shooting-video-shows-chaos-woman-opened-fire-inside-airport/287-67428dd9-0b9d-45e5-9d3e-1b6f9456e342 | 2022-07-26T19:50:00 | 1 | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/dallas-love-field-airport-shooting-video-shows-chaos-woman-opened-fire-inside-airport/287-67428dd9-0b9d-45e5-9d3e-1b6f9456e342 |

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK)—West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed an appeal with West Virginia’s Intermediate Court of Appeals on Tuesday asking the court to overturn an injunction granted by Kanawha Couty Circuit Court Judge Joanna Tabit on July 6.
Tabit blocked the state from launching the Hope Scholarship voucher program saying it would ultimately take public funds and use them for private education expenses.
“We are continuing to fight for the Hope Scholarship Act, an important law that gives parents the right to choose the education they see fit for their children,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “We know this law is constitutional. So, we urge the court to act because thousands of families who were supposed to receive educational funding for their children remain in limbo—with the school year just around the corner.”
The Hope Scholarship voucher program was signed into law by West Virginia Governor Jim Justice in 2021 with plans for it to go into effect for the 2022-2023 school year. More than 3,000 students have already been awarded the scholarship which would be used for education purposes this fall. Each student receives $4,300 to go toward private or homeschooled education.
In the appeal, Morrisey wrote, “The injunction will irreparably injure the public, including more than 3,000 students already approved for scholarships. With just over a month until school starts, the blessing of the Hope Scholarship these students’ families planned around has been ‘pulled out from under’ them.”
A fiscal note produced in the legislature when the bill first passed estimated that the full cost for the program could be as much as $100 million aside from public education. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/west-virginia-attorney-general-morrisey-files-hope-scholarship-injunction-appeal/ | 2022-07-26T19:56:27 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/west-virginia-attorney-general-morrisey-files-hope-scholarship-injunction-appeal/ |

SAN ANTONIO — Apparently, not everyone believes that Blue Bell Ice Cream is the best ice cream in the country. In fact, one food magazine, “Eat This, Not That!,” says the popular Texas treat is among the worst.
New York-based writer Steven John listed Blue Bell, which was founded in Brenham, Texas in 1907, among nine ice cream brands that “use the lowest quality ingredients.”
The article says, "Blue Bell Ice Cream has a popularity problem: according to a Mashed survey, a majority of people find it to be the worst store-bought ice cream. Maybe that's because they have a quality ingredient problem, too."
The writer criticized the company for using food thickening agents such as cellulose gum and vegetable gums in its Homemade Vanilla flavor. He also had a problem with the company’s use of food starch, artificial colors and other ingredients.
"How about just regular milk, cream, and sugar," said Steven John.
While he might say the tasty frozen treat is one of the worst, most Texans will say it's a taste of heaven on earth.
Have you tried any of their new flavors yet?

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The entire state of Arkansas has now been put into the 'high' risk category for wildfires.
Last week, the entire state of Arkansas was at a moderate fire danger level.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Little Rock says the recent and persistent high temperatures across the state coupled with little rain have put the state under a high fire danger level.
The Arkansas Forestry Division notes that under high risk, fires ignite easily and spread quickly. If left unattended, brush and campfires are likely to escape and spread. Officials say that these fires may become serious if not attacked early.
For areas that have announced burn bans, click here for a list of counties in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.
The Arkansas Forestry Division lists equipment malfunction, burning debris, lightning, vehicles and arson as the top instances that can spark a wildfire.
Officials say lawns, fields and wooded areas are exceptionally dry.
If you see a wildfire call and file a report at 1-800-468-8834.

PORTLAND, Maine — When you look around Hadlock Field, home of the Portland Sea Dogs, it's hard not to see Charlie Eshbach.
Eshbach, the long-time general manager and president of the Portland Sea Dogs, passed away earlier this month after a long battle with an illness, according to his colleagues. He was 70 years old.
"Charlie was the architect. People give my dad a lot of credit for founding the team, but my dad found Charlie," the Sea Dog's current co-owner, Sally McNamara, said. "I think that was our father's greatest gift, finding the right person to do the right thing, and Charlie's fingerprints are everywhere here."
McNamara and her brother, Bill Burke, are the team's current owners. It was their father, Dan Burke, who founded the Portland Sea Dogs back in 1992.
Eshbach was the first person Dan Burke hired, and he would take on the role of president and general manager.
At the time, Eshbach had plenty of experience as a leader. When he was just 22 years old, Eshbach was named general manager of the Bristol Red Sox, making him the youngest GM in the league.
Shortly after, he would take on the role of president for the Eastern League.
Eshbach agreed to work for Dan Burke.
By 1994, the Portland Sea Dogs would take their place on Hadlock Field as the official Double-A affiliate of the Florida Marlins. A decade later, the Sea Dogs would switch their affiliation to the Boston Red Sox.
Eshbach, who was a long-time Red Sox fan, started looking at ways to make Hadlock look more like Fenway. That led to the creation of the 37-foot left field wall called "The Maine Monster," resembling the famous Green Monster wall at Fenway Park.
"He made this place what it is," Bill Burke said. "It was his idea to have a mascot and my dad thought that was a bad idea. Charlie talked him into it and imagining the Sea Dogs without Slugger is just an example of the many ways he blessed this place."
"He was a GM, the league president, and then he came here and he would joke that he was so successful because he learned how not to do things by other people's mistakes," current GM and President Geoff Iacuessa said. "He knew when he came here what to do but he just had that human touch. I always say that he treated others better than he wanted to be treated and in return folks treated him pretty well."
Eshbach was the boss, and he was good at it. His friends and former colleagues say he was a visionary and someone who meant business, but he always led with kindness. At his memorial service at Hadlock Field, one of the speakers said you could go into extra innings speaking about Charlie.
His long-time friend and rival, Stump Merrill, says he was one of the most respected men in minor league baseball and that he always kept his word, especially when it came to the weather.
"It's an honor for me to have known him and to be fortunate to have spent so much time with him over the years," Merrill said. "I didn't always like him, but I respected him."
Even though he lived and breathed baseball, Eshbach is remembered at his core as a family man.
"Charlie loved Ann Marie, loved his boys, loved his grandkids, loved his sisters," Bill Burke said. "He wouldn't wear it on his sleeve, he wasn't an outwardly emotional guy, but you just knew it."
He was also the trailblazer behind Strike Out Cancer in Kids, which has raised five million dollars over the years to fight childhood cancer.
"Minor league baseball teams work when you make it a friendly family environment and that is in all the details," Bill Burke said. "We have changing tables in the men's room and the women's room, if you use foul language we kick you out, so, everything is to welcome families."
Eshbach would play one of his favorite songs every day at noon, a tradition the team said it intends to carry on at Hadlock Field, or, as others call it, 'the house that Charlie built.'
"We will miss him every day, [and] we're going to do our best to honor him every day moving forward," Iacuessa said. | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/207/remembering-charlie-eshbach-former-sea-dogs-president-and-general-manager-dies-at-70-portland-baseball/97-0b1ea3cb-6473-4baf-83df-838b600d33ca | 2022-07-26T20:05:06 | 0 | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/207/remembering-charlie-eshbach-former-sea-dogs-president-and-general-manager-dies-at-70-portland-baseball/97-0b1ea3cb-6473-4baf-83df-838b600d33ca |

WINTHROP, Maine — The Travis Mills Foundation, in partnership with Baxter Brewing Co., has announced that its annual specialty beer release, which supports America's veterans, will look a bit different this year -- and for a good cause.
According to a release issued by the Travis Mills Foundation on Monday, the annual beer, formerly known by the name of Limb-It-Less, will be available as a blonde ale this year, Travis Mills' favorite style of beer, as it was developed with and for Mills himself.
U.S. Army SSG Mills founded the Travis Mills Foundation after losing portions of all his limbs from an injury during his third tour in Afghanistan. The release says Mills set his bag down on an improvised explosive device. Now, he is only one of five quadruple amputees from the war in Afghanistan and Iraq to survive amid his injuries, the release says.
According to the release, Mills opened the Travis Mills Foundation Veterans Retreat in 2017 to serve those who were injured while serving their country just like himself.
"Through various programs, these heroes and their families overcome physical and emotional obstacles, strengthen their families and enjoy much-needed rest and relaxation, all at no cost to them," the release says.
This year, the ale's name can be recognized as Rebel for Good -- a hazy IPA, or New England IPA, that's a "newly recognized sub-style of India Pale Ales," the release says.
“We could not be more excited for a new beer, new look, and more impact for the benefit and experience of patrons and the Foundation,” Jenn Lever, president of Baxter Brewing Co., said in the release.
"As the relationship between the Foundation and Baxter has grown, so has Travis’s beer preferences," the release says. "With the launch of his new brand, Rebel for Good – a national label that Travis is developing to help give back to Maine and other communities throughout the U.S. – Lever and Travis felt it a perfect time to recreate the magic that was first made in 2018 by developing a new beer style for the same incredible cause."
According to the release, the style in which Rebel for Good was created is due to a craft brewers’ willingness to innovate, specifically amid new hopping techniques being developed.
"These hopping techniques deliver a bursting juicy and tropical hop experience without the bitterness attributed to a classic west coast IPA," the release states.
“Blonde ales are one of the most approachable styles in craft beer, easy drinking and golden in color, with no dominating malt or hop characteristics,” Lever said in the release. “Truly an American classic known for its simplicity, it’s the perfect pair for the beginning of a new partnership.”
The release says there will be a release party held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 2 at the White Duck Brew Pub in Winthrop. Mills is a partner with the pub.
Those who attend can expect to not only try the new beer but also to enjoy music and meet retired U.S. Army SSG Mills. | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/travis-mills-foundation-and-baxter-brewing-co-pair-up-to-craft-new-hazy-ipa-ale-beer-for-veterans/97-7b5ea672-0e4e-42f3-8a16-e8140a6b65d1 | 2022-07-26T20:05:21 | 0 | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/travis-mills-foundation-and-baxter-brewing-co-pair-up-to-craft-new-hazy-ipa-ale-beer-for-veterans/97-7b5ea672-0e4e-42f3-8a16-e8140a6b65d1 |

DES MOINES (AP) — The chances are steadily rising that someone will win the massive $830 million Mega Millions jackpot on Tuesday night, but will it be you?
Almost certainly not.
That's because while the nation's fourth-largest lottery prize has sparked a surge in sales that will mean more possible number combinations are covered, your odds of winning remain the same. At 1 in 302.5 million, they're pretty miserable.
National Mega Millions sales rose from $116 million for the July 19 drawing to $172.1 million for the July 22 drawing, according to Marie Kilbane, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Lottery Commission. And with all the attention on Tuesday's giant prize, lottery officials expect sales to climb to $262.1 million for the drawing.
The additional ticket purchases mean that while 23% of all number combinations were covered for the July 22 drawing, about 33% will be covered for Tuesday's.
Sales likely will grow even larger if there again isn't a winner. Kilbane says the jackpot likely would top $1 billion for Friday's drawing.
The last time someone beat the staggering odds and won the Mega Millions jackpot was April 15, when a Tennessee player matched all six numbers and snagged a $20 million prize.
Since then there have been 28 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner, allowing the prize to grow week after week.
Although someone theoretically could buy all the 302.5 million possible number combinations, in practice it would be nearly impossible and would likely be a financial flop.
That's because even after coming up with more than $600 million to buy all those $2 tickets, a team of people would need to somehow coordinate their request of each number combination and payment. Considering the hundreds of millions of options, it would be a staggering chore.
Even if someone accomplished that task, keep in mind that the advertised $830 million prize is for the annuity option, paid annually over 30 years. Nearly everyone opts for cash, which for Tuesday's drawing would be $487.9 million, of which about one-third would go toward federal taxes with possibly more for state taxes, depending on where the buyer lived.
After all that, there is a chance that some of the countless people who also plunk down a few bucks for a ticket could hit the winning numbers, meaning the potential jackpot would be divided in half or in thirds.
Winless streaks have gone longer in the past, with the record being a 36-roll run that ended Jan. 22, 2021, with a $1.05 billion Mega Millions payout in Michigan. That was the third-largest prize ever won.
The biggest was a gargantuan $1.586 Powerball jackpot won in 2016 by three players in California, Florida and Tennessee.
