DALLAS — Warning: This story contains graphic images that some may find disturbing.
The two women scalded with hot water by a north Dallas Taco Bell employee are out of the hospital. But their attorneys are talking for the first time about the extensive injuries and the lawsuit they have filed against Taco Bell Corporation and the, so far, unnamed Taco Bell employees.
"This is not just some hot water. It burned them very badly," said attorney Paul Grinke who represents Brittany Davis, Kira Davis and a 16-year-old identified in the lawsuit only as "C.T."
Grinke, speaking for the women, detailed to WFAA what they believe happened the night of June 17 at the Taco Bell at 11829 Abrams Road in Dallas. He says the women, with Kira Davis driving, went to the drive-thru and placed an order worth approximately $31. On the restaurant's own surveillance video, with a total of 12 camera angles, you can see the women drive away but return to the drive-thru a few minutes later.
It was a Sunday night after 11 p.m. and the dining room was not open. On video you can see, but not hear, the women and the employees discussing the problem they had with their order for a full seven minutes. The women drive away again and then drive around to the dining room door. Taco Bell employees unlock the door and let them in.
"Most of the time what you see is C.T. and Brittany standing peacefully and calmly at the counter," Grinke said.
But two and a half minutes later, as an apparent argument begins about the order, the women step forward into the kitchen.
"At some point a male Taco Bell employee started threatening her to a fight," Grinke said. "She's a 16-year-old girl. She's got a tough heart. She wasn't going to back down."
Which is when another employee can be seen dipping a pitcher into a sink of boiling water in the kitchen, walking toward the women and then dumping it on them. The 16-year-old falls to the floor. Then both women run for the door with employees following them. As they do, the same employee who doused them the first time can be seen filling up the pitcher again and then joining the employees who follow the women out.
In their lawsuit, the women claim that a Taco Bell employee "came outside the front door, laughing, clapping, and taunting the family."
Kira Davis, who was waiting for the women in the parking, drove them immediately to an emergency room where they say the 16-year-old "ran naked into the emergency room to get help."
And that Brittany who has a history of seizures, suffered at least 10 seizures and had to to be "sedated, intubated, and care-flighted to Parkland's ICU burn unit in Dallas." The 16-year-old was taken by ambulance to Parkland, as well.
Photos shared with WFAA show the women suffered severe burns: the 16-year-old with bubbling skin that extends from her shoulder all the way down to her left thigh, Brittany with deep burns to her chest and stomach.
In their lawsuit, the attorneys for the women also question what appears to be one of the employees pulling a handgun from his pants during the incident. Surveillance video also shows him handing the apparent weapon to another employee as the women fled.
"It's beyond comprehension to me that any employee inside of a Taco Bell store would be armed," Grinke said. He also said the two women did not have a weapon of any kind.
Taco Bell of America LLC has offered WFAA the following statement in response:
“We take the safety and wellbeing of team members and customers seriously. Taco Bell is in contact with the franchise owner and operator of this restaurant on this matter and cannot comment on specifics of pending litigation.”
"Hopefully Taco Bell will do the right thing here. If they don't, then we are prepared to go the distance," Grinke said.
Dallas police, who can also be seen on video responding to the Taco Bell approximately 10 minutes after the incident, confirm to WFAA that they are investigating potential charges of assault and aggravated assault by the Taco Bell employee.

DALLAS — Sunny Ng can't walk anymore and she's hard of hearing. She doesn't know any English except for a few words she's picked up over the years. But she's celebrating a big milestone.
She was born in Hong Kong in 1922 and moved to Dallas with her late husband, Tong, in 1962.
"They don't know how to drive a car, can't communicate with people, being an immigrant was pretty tough," her daughter Sim Jung told WFAA, as she translated for her mother.
Sunny and Tong didn't have much money either. When they moved to Dallas, they opened up The Hong Kong Restaurant on Garland Road, which still exists under the same name, but is owned and operated by a different family.
That opportunity eventually paved a path for Sunny's five kids, 11 grandkids, and five great grandchildren, most of whom speak little to no Cantonese.
Sometimes, Sunny's able to speak to her grandkids with the help of a translator.
"Sometimes, my kids look at her face, her motions, guess what she says," Sim Jung said.
Her great-grandson, Zachary Chamberlin, said he's inspired by his grandmother's attitude despite the hardships she faced.
"It's hard to imagine living like that. but still being happy? It gives me hope."
Sunny's family has given her hope and has fueled her to work hard and be happy for the last 100 years, despite any adversity.
She said her birthday wish is simple.
"World peace, that United States is good, America is good," Sunny said in Cantonese. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-woman-reflects-on-life-while-celebrating-major-birthday/287-89529920-fda2-4afd-86c0-afda707f1af5 | 2022-07-27T00:18:18 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-woman-reflects-on-life-while-celebrating-major-birthday/287-89529920-fda2-4afd-86c0-afda707f1af5 |
TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — One of the officers in an active shooter training in White Settlement is Detective Laura Gonzalez. After serving in the United States Marine Corps, she says police work is her dream job.
"Something that I have known since I was young," said Gonzalez.
Right now, she's training with multiple police departments. She's familiar with some of the officers, but there are some officers she is working with for the first time.
When the active shooter training is over, the officers will have the shared techniques to help keep each other safe in school emergencies, public gatherings, malls, office buildings and other places.
"Working with different agencies, it's important to communicate," Gonzalez said. "We get help from all different agencies when we respond to something like this."
The multi-agency training will put them on the same page during active shooter situations. The training comes just before back-to-school time and after the Uvalde school shooting -- where police have come under scrutiny for their delayed response.
RELATED: Uvalde school shooting: What is the employment status of responding officers? We asked each agency
Some of the law enforcement agencies that have officers participating in the training include Fort Worth Police Department, and officers from other cities, like Hazel, Lake Worth, Saginaw and more.
White Settlement Police Chief Chris Cook is hosting the training. He stresses there is no waiting when lives are at risk.
"Whether you are one officer, two officers who show up... There is no more waiting for SWAT or waiting for additional resources. And that's what they are teaching these officers this week," said Cook.
The teaching comes from experts from Naval Criminal Investigative Services.
Special Agent Jeremy Hauck believes the officers' biggest take-away will be the confidence to act quickly, together. This is the same training shared across the U.S. with other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.
"In your mind, you will be comfortable knowing what to do. It will cut extreme amounts of time off your response," said Hauck.
The training from Hauck and his team includes classroom instruction and best practices for breaching a classroom or office that has been locked with potential victims on the other side. The training spans over a couple of days, which will give police departments the opportunity to schedule additional officers.
Cook has scheduled some of his ranking officers to cover the streets and respond to calls in White Settlement to give his patrol officers, detectives and investigative team the chance to participate. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dfw-officers-in-active-shooter-training-ahead-of-school-year/287-8a6f21cc-cc80-4040-95b6-94ab4d5b6c93 | 2022-07-27T00:18:24 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dfw-officers-in-active-shooter-training-ahead-of-school-year/287-8a6f21cc-cc80-4040-95b6-94ab4d5b6c93 |
When it opens next year, Southeast Community College’s first residence hall at its Lincoln campus will provide housing for up to 250 students.
Growing demand for on-campus living led the SCC Board of Governors to approve the $26.5 million project last October. But with the opening of the new dormitory still months away, SCC is giving some students the chance to get a head start in experiencing on-campus living.
Beginning this fall, SCC students enrolled full-time at the Lincoln campus and who have earned at least 15 credit hours can apply to live in suite- and townhouse-style residences at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
The agreement — which echoes a similar arrangement from four decades ago — came about as the liberal arts university in northeast Lincoln realized it had space to fill and the community college located at 8800 O St. said it had students wanting to fill it.
Brandi Sestak, NWU’s assistant dean for student success and residential education, said the numbers of residents on campus can fluctuate as some students study abroad, choose to commute, or as class sizes change.
SCC students who want an “on-campus, immersive” experience will be able to live in suite-style housing for $3,684 per semester, or in a townhouse-style residence for $4,509 per semester.
Those students will also be required to purchase a meal plan for $1,960 per semester, which provides 12 meals per week, and will be charged a $90 fee to have access to wireless internet, the Wesleyan library, campus recreation center, and a mailbox.
Living on the Wesleyan campus will come with some perks for SCC students.
In addition to having an ID card that gains them free entry into home athletic and theater events, SCC students will be able to take part in other campus activities.
“We’re really, really excited to welcome SCC students into our residential communities,” Sestak said. “We believe it will make our already strong communities even more vibrant.”
Opening space in the residence halls for students from another college or university might be uncommon, but it’s not without precedent.
Wesleyan previously opened its doors to SCC students beginning in 1979 after the Lincoln campus opened, and allowed those students to continue living in its dormitories well into the 1980s.
Students from both schools were allowed to room together and take part in student activities while also having access to campus amenities, according to a 1983 story in The Lincoln Star.
Sestak said while NWU anticipates the partnership for the 2022-23 school year will be temporary, the university will continue to assess if it can help SCC meet needs and keep its residence halls full.
NWU and SCC have partnered in other ways, too.
The Pathways Partnership, announced in 2018, provides an annual $15,000 scholarship to SCC students who want to transfer to NWU to continue their education.
"We hope this agreement strengthens that partnership," Sestak said.

Gary Snyder announced an addition to his congressional run this week: new campaign manager Sean Johnson.
Snyder, the Democratic candidate running against Republican incumbent Jim Banks in the 3rd district, made the announcement Monday morning.
According to a news release, Johnson holds multiple roles in the area, including as president of Allen County Young Democrats and district president for Young Democrats. He’s also the founder of multiple organizations, a member of the NAACP and a former Allen County Parks Board member.
Johnson, who previously served as the campaign’s youth outreach liaison, got his start in politics during the 2020 protests following the death of George Floyd according to the release. He said he was “truly humbled” to take on the new role.
“We have the opportunity to help change the trajectory of the current democracy with this campaign,” Johnson said. “I'm thankful Gary has seen enough fire, energy, and enthusiasm from me that he's allowed me to take on this role.”
Snyder said he’s excited for Johnson to take on the new role and that “his life experiences, community activism and leadership skills make this a role he was born to do.” | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/democratic-candidate-snyder-announces-campaign-manager/article_a38c5030-0cf4-11ed-8701-5f620bf251c8.html | 2022-07-27T00:28:06 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/democratic-candidate-snyder-announces-campaign-manager/article_a38c5030-0cf4-11ed-8701-5f620bf251c8.html |
Superintendent Wayne Barker will lean on Northwest Allen County Schools’ elected leaders as he sets goals for the district.
And that should happen soon. Barker told the five-member board on Monday that it’s on his to-do list for his first three months.
“I know my success here, a large part of it will come – especially for this year’s success, at least – will come from the success I can have in the first 90 days of establishing myself as superintendent,” Barker said.
Barker, whose contract began July 1, replaced longtime Superintendent Chris Himsel, who retired from the role June 30.
Each 30-day block within the 90-day plan has a different focus, Barker said. He shared a photograph of someone being sprayed in the face with a firehose to illustrate his first few weeks.
“I feel like I’m drinking from a firehose, but I know that’s a normal part of the transition,” Barker said. “I’m learning from everyone.”
Barker said he needs to spend as much time listening to everyone as possible, not just the district’s 8,000 students and 1,100 employees but other stakeholders who love and are invested in NACS. He invited people to contact him as he shared his district contact information and Twitter handle, @NACS_Supt.
“I do want to be available,” he said.
Ron Felger, board president, said in a phone interview Tuesday that Barker’s willingness to talk isn’t an act.
“He truly is open to anybody,” Felger said.
For his second month, Barker wants to learn about the district’s culture. This will involve learning how things work, such as meetings and communication with various groups, such as employees and families.
Barker will devote the last phase of his 90-day plan to goal-setting.
“I’ll be relying on you to help me establish those goals as we move forward,” he told the board. “I know we’ve got a lot of pressing needs.”
Felger, whose tenure has included the hiring of four superintendents, couldn’t recall a previous superintendent presenting a plan to the board like Barker did.
“It’s just really great for the community that he has a plan,” Felger said. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/new-northwest-allen-superintendent-unveils-90-day-plan/article_3470196c-0d20-11ed-be24-97df2b0d8ecb.html | 2022-07-27T00:28:06 | 1 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/new-northwest-allen-superintendent-unveils-90-day-plan/article_3470196c-0d20-11ed-be24-97df2b0d8ecb.html |
“We are hoping for a mid-September start, due to some technology supply and installation delays,” David Braun, general manager for Connect Transit, told The Pantagraph. The Bloomington-Normal bus system initially had planned for a late summer launch.
Connect Transit purchased five buses for its new U-shaped bus route, planning to use three for the new fixed route and two for supplemental parts, Braun said in an update to the Board of Trustees.
Braun said Connect Transit had budgeted about $90,000 over the next three years to lease the buses but instead purchased the buses at about $3,500 each.
This new route will extend to service Rivian Automotive with a stop planned at the manufacturing plant at 100 Rivian Motorway, running from downtown Bloomington to uptown Normal and back again.
From Normal, the route will begin at Uptown Station, utilize West College Avenue to reach Rivian Motorway and proceed to West Market Street with a stop at Walmart. The route would end at the downtown transfer area on Front Street.
From Bloomington, the route would proceed in the inverse: beginning on Front Street, using West Market Street to reach Rivian Motorway before returning to Uptown Station via West College Avenue.
Braun said the exact locations of all the stops have not been determined, but typically they are placed every quarter mile.
A one-way trip of the full route will take 44 minutes, with a 16-minute layover to buffer the route, Braun told the board. The proposed schedule, which coordinates with Rivian’s peak times for employees, also will have an hour added before it's finalized.
Before they hit the streets, the added buses will have equipment installed and be wrapped with imagery from the city of Bloomington and the town of Normal, “a great partnership for us and I think a good partnership for them, too,” Braun said.

NEWBERG, Ore. — Tenants at a low-income apartment complex in Newberg were given eviction notices earlier this month for having air conditioning units in their windows after the Yamhill County Housing Authority found them to be a fire hazard.
Many of the tenants said they're now forced to choose between living with no air conditioning or losing their apartments.
"I get physically sick because you’re so hot," said tenant Niki Sherman, who’s lived at Haworth Terrace for about 15 years.
"In this 100-degree weather it’s horrible," added tenant Mary McGrew. "All of a sudden in the middle of July they decide to evict mostly elderly and disabled people for their air conditioners, and I just don’t think it’s reasonable."
Mcgrew has multiple sclerosis and has lived in the apartment complex for five years. In May, she received a notice that her window AC unit is a fire hazard and must be removed or else she’ll be evicted.
"It’s really unfortunate how we’re intimidated," she said.
McGrew hired a lawyer who negotiated an extension, allowing her to keep the unit until the end of this month.
"But my eviction still stands," she said. "If I don’t have it out by July 31st, I will be evicted on the first (of August)."
Sherman said she got a notice ordering her to take our her window unit by July 21, or else she would be served with eviction papers. She said she's always had the AC unit in her window.
The property management company says free-standing "floor" AC units are allowed, but those units tend to be more expensive, often costing hundreds of dollars. Many of the tenants live off $800 a month and pay about $170 in rent.
"Oh my gosh, it would take me almost six months to save up because I live paycheck to paycheck with the stuff that I already have," said Sherman, who works as a school bus driver.
"I start to get headaches around 80 degrees and bloody noses, and I’m afraid of stroke or a seizure," added tenant Chari Casto.
Casto took her window unit out in May because she feared being evicted. She now takes multiple cold showers a day and wears wet towels around her neck.
"I don’t want to be put in a position where I have to choose being sick because I can’t eat because of the heat, and being in the street," she said.
Under Oregon law, landlords aren’t legally required to provide tenants with air conditioning.
Vickie Ybarguen, executive director of Yamhill County Housing Authority, told KGW in an email that the agency has been trying to work with tenants to find solutions, but they are legally required to comply with building standards from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
"Our governing agency recently notified us that we were out of compliance with the HUD standards for units that had AC window units blocking the only secondary means of egress from rooms," she said. "For households in which their window unit prevents egress, this violation was deemed an ‘Exigent Health and Safety deficiency’ under HUD's standards requiring immediate correction."
That's what prompted the Yamhill County Housing Authority to notify tenants that they would need to remove their window units and could only use floor units, she said.
Those standards are also permissible under Oregon's Senate Bill 1536, a law passed following last year's heat dome event that prohibits landlords from banning AC units, including window units. However, there are exceptions for window units that are hazardous or out of compliance with building codes.
"For any residents who have not complied with HUD's rules, we have continued to work with them and granted extensions for their time to comply given the heat events we are forecasted to experience," Ybarguen said. "The safety of our residents is our highest priority and we are simply trying to comply with the laws while ensuring that all health and safety risks are eliminated." | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/the-story/tenants-face-eviction-window-ac-units/283-a94ed541-e91c-44d8-a0c1-ffcfbcd2a989 | 2022-07-27T00:30:50 | 1 | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/the-story/tenants-face-eviction-window-ac-units/283-a94ed541-e91c-44d8-a0c1-ffcfbcd2a989 |
BRADENTON, Fla. — The Manatee County Board of Commissioners voted to move forward with a motion that would see policy change to allow employees with concealed carry permits to bring their firearms to work.
The issue sparked serious debate including at the commissioners' meeting, Tuesday.
The commissioners voted 6-1 to have the input of the sheriff and the county attorney on options to allow for the change.
The motion was first put forward by Commissioner James Satcher in May.
"A weapon is a tool, so the question is do you want that tool in the hands of only the bad guys or only those willing to disobey our rule and our HR policy?" Satcher asked. "I want to give to good guys the right to defend themselves and for the employees of Manatee County, I think that is the right thing to do."
The current policy prohibits county employees from possessing, using, or threatening to use a deadly weapon on county property. If the policy changes around 2,000 employees would be able to have guns at work.
The move has faced opposition from some members of the community who have said it is unnecessary and not what employees want.
"Guns do not belong in the workplace or at any other public establishment," Virginia McCollum of Moms Demand Action said. "Allowing county employees to carry guns at work is a dangerous idea that will irreparably harm Manatee County."
"If employees are bringing their guns to work, we have the opportunity for employees who are having an argument or just having a bad day and then something sets them off," McCollum added.
"They're asking for things that can make their lives better, they're not asking for more guns so I think we need to listen to them," Shannon Keever of Women's Voices of SW Florida said.
Commissioner Reggie Bellamy who was the lone vote in opposition said it was necessary to hear from the employees themselves.
"Do not bring gun violence to our community, we have enough of it going on now," Bellamy said. "We need security protocols, we need screenings, we need reform. We do not want to put ourselves in a situation where we open our citizens and we open our staff up to the Wild Wild West."
The motion also had some supporters in the audience who said the policy, if passed, would help keep the workplace safe
"I want to know that I am willing and able to save the lives of those around me and that I have a possibility that someone else or myself will have an accident," Kevin Wright, a Manatee County resident, said.
"We need more than just law enforcement to ensure that our communities are protected and lives are preserved whenever the evildoers, the terrorist lunatics, and criminals try to annihilate the lives of the innocent," Nathan Igosa, a retired deputy, said.
The commissioners directed the county administrator to have the policy options presented to the board within 30 days before they could take a final vote on the issue. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/manateecounty/commissioners-vote-policy-options-conceal-carry-manatee-county/67-7d2e94d9-59fb-43bf-9ed2-7c4edfef5ba0 | 2022-07-27T00:31:43 | 0 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/manateecounty/commissioners-vote-policy-options-conceal-carry-manatee-county/67-7d2e94d9-59fb-43bf-9ed2-7c4edfef5ba0 |
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Ballad Health and East Tennessee State University announced a new partnership to provide resources to families of newborn babies.
Beginning in August, the families of newborns delivered at Ballad Health facilities will receive an information packet with resources for early college planning and an ETSU onesie highlighting Buccaneer pride.
“They’ll be receiving information over college saving plans, so 529 plans either in the State of Tennessee or Virginia, or both,” ETSU First Lady Donna Noland said. “There is a website that they can go to that provides helpful links for educational materials, on health care resources all the way from pre-natal care up to the college years.”

GREENS FORK, Ind. — Police are investigating the death of a child who fell into water in Wayne County and later died.
Deputies with the Wayne County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene near Greens Fork, Indiana Monday evening. Family members say they found the child shortly after they fell into the water and removed them from the water.
The deputies and other first responders started life-saving procedures before the child was taken to Reid Health, then flown to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
The child died hours after arriving at Riley, the sheriff's office said.
Though police are investigating the child's death, it appears to have been accidental, according to the sheriff's office. The Department of Child Services was also called to the scene as a matter of protocol, though there were no immediate signs of suspicious circumstances surrounding the child's death.

FISHERS, Ind. — At a YMCA day camp at Grace Church in Fishers, Marsha Day has an important role.
"It's a lot of fun. Keeps me young. They make me laugh," said Day.
Day helps working parents make sure their child is safe.
"The Y is essential to parents like me," said parent Heather Shockley.
Shockley said she got lucky.
"I had to reach out to the YMCA and get on a waiting list and then we got back on," she said.
Starting Thursday, some parents in Avon and Plainfield won't be able to use the YMCA for before and afterschool care.
"This is the first time starting a school year where I cannot open some programs in districts that we have contracts with," said Amy Panetta, executive director of programming with youth development at the YMCA.
Panetta said while there is a staffing shortage across central Indiana, the biggest need is at Sycamore and Maple Elementary schools in Avon. These two locations will not open for programming.
In Plainfield, there will be no afternoon program at Clark's Creek Elementary School and no morning program at Guilford Elementary School.
"Literally 20 children, 20 families could get care just from hiring one person," said Panetta.
She said there has to be one staff member for every 15 students.
"We have to maintain a ratio of 15-to-1 for our kindergartners and 20-to-1 for our older children," said Panetta. "If we have 75 students and we only have two staff, it's not a safe situation."
Shockley said the need is critical.
"As a single mother, you need them, especially with the school hours," said Shockley. "There is no way that you could do this working."
It's one reason why the program needs people like Day and encourages others to step up.
The YMCA is offering a slew of incentives for new hires, including a $400 bonus, free membership, and a flexible schedule. The organization is accepting applications on its website. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/ymca-needs-workers-for-before-and-afterschool-care-indiana/531-3915af1b-b96c-40d1-9f99-49e351ee1c6f | 2022-07-27T00:36:28 | 1 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/ymca-needs-workers-for-before-and-afterschool-care-indiana/531-3915af1b-b96c-40d1-9f99-49e351ee1c6f |

June 9, 1927 – June 20, 2022
Dolores A. Marsh Mayea, 95, passed away on June 20, 2022, in North Bend, Oregon. She was born to Nick and Catherine (Wehrly) Marsh on June 9, 1927 in Coquille, Oregon at the home of Aunt Dot Mansell, her dad’s sister and twin to Uncle Donald.
Dolores grew up in Port Orford and lived there until 2020, when she went to Sisters to live with her daughter, Julie and son-in-law, Jack Kelleher. She grew up with many special and life-long friends and her first cousin, Patricia Zumwalt Reucker, who is the same age and like a sister. In fact, Dolores called her “Sis” and their mothers used to shop together and dress the girls alike.
Dolores is preceded in death by her husband, Glenn Vernon “John” Mayea and younger brother, Blaine Marsh (Gurlah). She is survived by her younger sister, Judy Marsh Jensen (Wilbur).
Dolores attended University of Oregon for one year, where she was 100% homesick the whole time. She also attended Portland Business School until she was offered a job at Western Bank. This was the only time she lived anywhere other than her beloved Port Orford, until she moved to Julie’s.
She met her husband, Glenn Vernon “John” Mayea in Port Orford in the early forties. John enlisted in the Navy in July of 1943, with permission from his parents, at age 17. He served in the Pacific Theater in World War II. Upon John’s return to Port Orford, they married October 25, 1947. Dolores and some of her close friends of the time referred to themselves as “War Brides.”
John and Dolores had five children: Greg Mayea (Lora), Pam Podorean (Grey), Georgia Mayea Lewis (Kevin), Don Mayea (Ali), and Julie Kelleher (Jack). They had numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
Dolores was known for her cooking and baking and never made a studgy pie. She and her sister learned their pie baking skills from their mother and in turn passed them on to their daughters, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Dolores worked at First National Bank, City Hall, and owned a store with her sister-in-law, Gurlah Marsh. Dolores was an avid bowler into her eighties, was on a league and travelled to many tournaments. She liked to play cards and do a little gambling at the casino on occasion. She was a beachcomber and loved to find glass balls on the beach. She was a collector and loved her Teddy bears, but her greatest love was her family. She supported her husband John in all his endeavors, including logging, running a gas station, tree farm, and selling Christmas trees in San Francisco. In their later years they enjoyed going to many naval reunions to connect with former shipmates.
Dolores will be remembered for her sweet disposition and always finding the good in everyone (even if there wasn’t any).
There will be a Celebration of Life gathering at her longtime home at 24 Geer Circle, Port Orford on September 17, 2022 at 2 pm. Come share a memory.
In lieu of flowers, if you choose, you may make a donation in her name, to Port Orford Public Library, 1421 Oregon Street, Port Orford, OR 97465, South Coast Hospice, 1620 Thompson Road, Coos Bay, OR 97420 or Partners in Care Hospice, 2075 NE Wyatt Court, Bend, OR 97701. | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/obituaries/dolores-a-marsh-mayea/article_44ac15d2-0d35-11ed-a90d-abbbc7c3b110.html | 2022-07-27T00:41:09 | 1 | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/obituaries/dolores-a-marsh-mayea/article_44ac15d2-0d35-11ed-a90d-abbbc7c3b110.html |

The latest news from around North Texas. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fort-worth-leaders-to-talk-short-term-rental-rules/3032354/ | 2022-07-27T00:55:06 | 1 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fort-worth-leaders-to-talk-short-term-rental-rules/3032354/ |
The city of Fort Worth will be holding the first of two meetings this week over possible updates to the way it regulates short-term rentals.
A short-term rental, sometimes referred to as a “vacation rental,” is a residential property available for rent between one and 29 days. In 2018, the city updated its ordinance to clarify short-term rentals are not allowed in residential districts, though city leaders admit it can be tough to regulate.
Dana Burghdoff, assistant city manager for Fort Worth, said the current ordinance allows short-term rentals in districts that are “zoned mix use” allowing both commercial and residential uses, along with zones for commercial and industrial uses. The city essentially equates a short-term rental to other forms of lodging such as a hotel, Burghdoff said.
“It’s difficult to know what happens inside a home or inside a business, for that matter,” she said. “So, it requires a lot of site visits and monitoring to provide proper enforcement.”
Right now, city leaders are looking into a new registration requirement. Hosts of short-term rentals who are operating can register their property, assuming it’s in a zone where it’s allowed.
“If they’re not in a zone where it’s allowed, then they have the option to either stop the activity or request a zoning change or other option that the council might decide in the coming months,” she said.
Edgar Rodriguez with the Fort Worth Short Term Rental Alliance has property near the Fort Worth Stockyards. For more than a year, it has been used as a short-term rental. Rentals can be operated responsibly and his property is an example, Rodriguez said.

The latest news from around North Texas.
“The feedback from all of our guests is wonderful. I know all of our neighbors in the community. There’s really been no issues,” he said.
The alliance will be present at the meeting Tuesday night, he said. He added, he is in favor of a "sensible" ordinance.
“We’re going to try and vouch for short-term rentals in the city of Fort Worth. It’s not what you hear. It’s not what the rhetoric is. It’s not homes that are just crime-ridden and parties and meth labs. It’s not that at all. So, we’re trying to close the misunderstanding and the myths that are out there,” he said. “We understand what the neighborhood communities are saying. We don’t want crimes, we don’t want parties. I don’t either. Neither do you. Neither does anyone.”
Roy Barker of Fort Worth has lived in his home for seven years. The issues he and his wife have dealt with since their neighbor began hosting a short-term rental are two-fold, he said.
“Memorial Day, we had probably at least 18-20 [people] at one time. They didn’t do anything criminal or loud, but parking we just don’t have the infrastructure to have 10 or 12 cars up here,” he said.
There is also the issue of noise and trash pileups at times, he said.
“We’re not on constant vacation. We work. That time, my wife was getting up at six in the morning. So, it just cuts our sleep out. We always wonder too, 'who are these people?'” he added. “Let’s try to solve this before it gets that bad, where somebody has to lose their life or we have to have police intervention.”

CALIFORNIA, USA — This story was originally published by CalMatters.
California Department of Justice agents realized they were short-handed just hours after a Los Angeles police officer shot and killed an unarmed man on Hollywood Boulevard.
A 911 caller told police the man was threatening people on the morning of July 15, 2021, waving what appeared to be a pistol in a busy tourist pocket. The object in his hand turned out to be a lighter with a pistol grip.
The fatal shooting was the first test of a law requiring the Justice Department to investigate police shootings of unarmed civilians. The agents would need to interview witnesses, mark evidence and canvass nearby businesses for surveillance footage, according to documents detailing the state’s response.
The department’s budget for these complex shooting investigation teams allotted three agents; the department sent 12.
Even so, justice officials would later say, it wasn’t enough — calling their deployment “inadequate.”
“There were dozens of tasks and assignments that the … special agents could not accomplish because of limited staffing,” the department wrote in a budget request submitted to the Legislature in January.
For decades, police oversight in California began and ended within a local department. Rarely did the state step in.
That has changed. After unarmed Stephon Clark was shot and killed by Sacramento police officers in 2018, state lawmakers began taking a more active role in police accountability, passing several statewide mandates aimed at improving policing in California. Since then, they’ve tapped both the Department of Justice and California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) for new duties.
But ambitious deadlines, new job responsibilities and delayed funding are testing the limits of both agencies, officials say.
The shooting investigation on Hollywood Boulevard is still open, as are all 20 other Justice Department investigations into the shooting of unarmed civilians.
California’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training missed its deadline this year to get police departments up to speed on newly-required bias screening for police applicants. The commission has also been given new authority to decertify police officers, a responsibility that is reshaping the previously low-profile commission.
Both agencies were redirected by legislation. For the Justice Department, its new role came with Assembly Bill 1506, which mandates that its agents investigate each officer-involved shooting of an unarmed civilian. Beginning next year, upon request of a law enforcement agency, the state is also supposed to begin reviewing the local agency’s use of force policy and make recommendations.
The long shadow of George Floyd
When the Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the officer-involved shooting bill in September 2020 — four months after the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police — it was a politically important piece of legislation to the governor and to then Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Current Attorney General Rob Bonta also supported the plan while still in the Legislature.
But months before the law went into effect on July 1, warning signs went up internally at the Justice Department.
“Additional burdens are increasingly being placed on the very limited staff of the (Bureau of Investigation) and (Bureau of Forensic Services),” one Justice Department employee wrote to the Attorney General in April 2021, according to redacted emails obtained by CalMatters.
“We are already stretched incredibly thin.”
The Justice Department asked for $26 million to pay for the new shooting investigation teams. The Legislature allotted half of that, about $13 million.
Becerra complained about that discrepancy to the bill’s author, Democrat Assemblymember Kevin McCarty of Sacramento.
The $13 million budget allocation “is significantly lower than our estimates and not enough resources to stand up professional teams to perform these new investigative and prosecutorial duties,” Becerra wrote to McCarty in January 2021. “As a result, the DOJ will have limited capacity to implement this bill, short of redirecting resources from other essential, mandated work, which could compromise those operations.”
McCarty recently told CalMatters that the Justice Department should be able to find a way to fund the program.
“The Department of Justice is a multi-billion dollar agency,” McCarty said. “They have lots of other funding sources to pay for it, and we can settle up afterward.”
When reminded of the 2021 letter he received from Becerra asking for more money, McCarty was still skeptical.
“That’s ridiculous. That’s why we passed on (adding more money to the DOJ budget),” he said. “As opposed to these hypotheticals, why don’t you do the work for a year and see how much money it actually costs?”
Since 2016, police officers have shot and killed an average of 140 people in California each year. Of the people killed, about 20 are unarmed, 10 have a replica firearm and another 10 have objects that may not qualify as deadly weapons.
That amounts to about 40 shooting investigations of unarmed civilians each year.
The latest shooting took place July 15, 2022, in Anaheim, exactly one year after the first shooting investigated in Los Angeles by the Justice Department.
Dividing the $13 million budget by the number of open investigations – 21 – the cost of each investigation so far would average $619,000, an amount McCarty said is “enough to do the work.”
The department had 5,008 employees in June, according to the Controller’s Office. The Department of Justice declined to provide the number of employees in each job category, including those who would be assigned to officer-involved shooting investigations.
“Implementing AB 1506 has absolutely imposed new demands on the entire California Department of Justice and the entire office has, as necessary, adjusted admirably to the new responsibilities,” a department spokesperson wrote in an email to CalMatters.
California’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training has had similar challenges.
Small agency handed big new duties
In the past five years, many state directives aimed at improving police operations in California landed before the commission. The relatively small agency, with about 120 employees, is known for training and certifying police officers — but that job description is quickly expanding, often under tight deadlines.
For instance, in late 2020, legislators passed Assembly Bill 846, forcing police agencies to screen for bias during a potential officer’s psychological evaluation. The commission was tasked with creating bias screening materials by Jan. 1, 2022.
They missed the deadline. (In a strange twist, a legislative clerical error inadvertently wiped the bias screening mandate from the law, though that is being remedied.)
“A year seems like a long time, but it’s not when it comes to regulations,” said Melani Singley of POST, who manages all regulations and guidance for police officers. “The timeline makes it challenging to develop something that is going to meet the intent of the law.”
In May 2022, the agency’s final changes were approved by its oversight commission. Now, as the Legislature rushes to reinstate the bias screening mandate, the commission is expecting the regulation to go into effect by Aug. 1.
Other new duties are piling up. For years, the commission averaged a few legislative bills a year. Nowadays, said POST executive director Manny Alvarez, “we’re tackling a lot more now than ever before.”
Between 2015 and 2020, lawmakers introduced roughly nine officer training bills a year, almost double the average between 2010 and 2014, according to a study by the Little Hoover Commission, an independent state oversight agency.
“It’s a lot of work for a small number of people,” said Singley.
But soon the commission will be larger.
With a new directive giving the commission authority to decertify police officers, which was enacted by Senate Bill 2, the agency is expected to nearly double in size over the next six months after receiving a roughly 32% funding increase earlier this month.
“We’re hiring,” said spokesperson Meagan Poulos.
In just a few months, the agency that almost exclusively dealt with police will interact with the public as well, as citizens and police departments make their cases regarding alleged bad officers. The commission will investigate officers accused of serious misconduct and recommend if an officer should be decertified.
Several states, including Mississippi, Alabama and Montana, already have decertification processes in place.
Is the commission overloaded?
While police decertification is one of the most significant changes the commission has undergone, some are raising concerns about whether the state is overloading the agency, which is overseen by a board that meets a few times a year.
In a report addressed to the governor and the Legislature, the Little Hoover Commission recommended lawmakers “temporarily refrain” from mandating new training requirements.
“…there is little evidence to demonstrate which types of training actually achieve intended goals and positively impact police behavior — and which do not,” wrote Pedro Nava, chairperson for the Little Hoover Commission.
Instead, the Little Hoover Commission recommended California evaluate its current police training requirements.
State analysts also are concerned the small organization will not be able to make such a drastic shift as quickly and efficiently as the Legislature may expect.
“POST will likely face significant challenges implementing SB 2, primarily due to the fact that the commission’s staffing will need to roughly double by January 1, 2023 — only six months after receiving funding in the budget…” wrote the Legislative Analysts Office in a report earlier this year.
Meanwhile, several commission workers told CalMatters they are still cautiously optimistic they will make their deadline on instituting the first police decertification process in California history.
“One of the big unknowns to us is the volume of data and the volume of reviews and investigations there will be,” Alvarez said. “We’ve never collected that type of data.” | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/california/calmatters/new-police-accountability-laws-up-demands/509-89171bf9-91ec-4455-a654-8c2052e84a4c | 2022-07-27T00:57:04 | 0 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/california/calmatters/new-police-accountability-laws-up-demands/509-89171bf9-91ec-4455-a654-8c2052e84a4c |
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Out of more than 4,500 hospitals surveyed nationwide by the influential ranking site U.S. News & World Report, UC Davis Medical Center ranked as the top hospital in Sacramento.
The medical center has been ranked number one in Sacramento by the publication for the past 11 years.
“This recognition is due to the expertise and dedication of every member of our health system, who work tirelessly to provide patient-centered care every day to every single patient while we train the next generation of health professionals and scientists to treat the patients of tomorrow,” said David Lubarsky, CEO of UC Davis Health.
Additional recognitions for UC Davis Medical Center include:
- 6th best hospital in the California
- 32nd best hospital in the U.S. for cardiology and heart surgery
- 36th best hospital in the U.S. for neurology and neurosurgery
- 37th best hospital in the U.S. for ear, nose and throat care
- 39th best hospital in the U.S. for ear, nose and throat treatment
- 50th best hospital in the U.S. for orthopedics

ELK GROVE, Calif. — Despite news of a second location heading to Elk Grove, the lines for In-N-Out Burger along Bond Road still won't be changing for a while.
The burger chain has been eyeing Elk Grove for a second location since at least late 2020. It's first location along Bond Road was opened nearly 24 years ago. The popular location is known to be busy and is also flanked by a Raising Cane's and Chick-fil-A.
In-N-Out's second location is bound for The Ridge, the Costco-anchored shopping center at Elk Grove Boulevard and Bruceville Road. It's roughly three miles from the other store.
Nonetheless, the wait for a new store will continue for now, possibly for a few more months.
"We're excited to be in the initial stages of construction for our location at 7620 Elk Grove Boulevard. Once we begin construction on a new location, it usually takes us 8 months to build the restaurant and open it for business," said Mike Abbate, Assistant Vice President, Real Estate and Development.

ELK GROVE, Calif. — Outside Elk Grove, Mitchell Farms has survived war, drought and depression to supply Californians and the rest of the nation with food since the 1850s.
But it’s inflation that has fifth generation farmer Ken Mitchell wondering if the legacy ends here.
“Costs are getting so high on everything... how do I pass that on to my boys? How do they take over the family farm? Do they want to take over the family farm? So the dynamics are changing. We have investment companies coming in and buying farm ground and I may not be producing your food in the future,” said owner of Mitchell Farms, Ken Mitchell.
He says farms are struggling because they are price takers not price makers.
He’s not raising the price on the walnuts he grows and he’s not passing along the cost it takes to grow them to the consumer. If you see a bag of walnuts in the market for $5, only 80 cents per pound is going back to Mitchell Farms.
“The American public doesn’t understand that your food is made with diesel and I say that because it takes a tremendous amount of labor in producing whatever you do in agriculture, diesel running your tractors, transportation,” said Mitchell.
The state of California recognizes agriculture was already struggling with the worldwide market, drought, and now inflation. So, what resources are the California Department of Finance offering?
“A one-year freeze on the state share of diesel fuel tax so that we can hopefully reduce some of the cost of hauling those agricultural goods to market as well as good all over the state,” said H.D. Palmer, Deputy Director for External Affairs at the California Department of Finance.
Mitchell says California farmers were already struggling to compete due to higher regulatory costs, the price of land, water and now gas against the costs of those things in the Midwest. He hopes what’s happening right now will start the conversation about where you want your food coming from. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/inflation-impacts-on-farming/103-83afc17c-98a8-4e67-b0c2-9a5c73986b0a | 2022-07-27T00:57:22 | 1 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/inflation-impacts-on-farming/103-83afc17c-98a8-4e67-b0c2-9a5c73986b0a |
LEE COUNTY, Fla. — The Lee County School District has come up with a plan for transgender students who want to be identified by their teachers and principal.
Students will be required to fill out some forms that are creating some controversy.
Some parents are concerned this is a way for the district to profile students.
On Tuesday, school board members adopted an Equity Guide which outlines how gay or transgender students can receive safe guards by the district.
If transgender students want teachers to address them by the gender they identify as they’ll be required to fill out what’s called a “Gender Support Plan” the document creating much of the controversy.
Parent Crystal Czyscon called the document discriminatory and freightning.
Czyscon was among the parents objecting to the form that asks some very personal questions like does the student have support at home and who knows about the students gender and it even asks for a plan if the student is outed.
Sharon McGill sat on the equity committee and said the forms were put in place to protect children and teachers.
“There are laws now in the state that teachers can’t call a student a name if it’s not their correct name,” McGill said.
She insisted no one was singling out transgender students and she said nobody is required to fill out the forms.
However, if they want teachers and administrators to acknowledge their gender identity they will be required to fill out the form.
“If they choose not to have accommodations they can certainly use their pronouns with friends at school but now if they want to we have to involve parents,” explained Jessica Duncan who is employed by the Lee School District.
The new guide and form is in place because of the ‘Parents Bill of Rights’ which opponents call the ‘Don’t Say Gay Bill’.
A federal lawsuit was filed against the state Monday in an attempt to block the new law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
The ACLU of Florida said in a statement:
“With HB 1557 in effect, the ‘Dont’ Say Gay’ law has already begun to stigmatize LGBTQ+ people, isolate LGBTQ+ kids, and make teachers fearful of providing a welcoming and inclusive classroom. Without adequate guidelines from the school board on how this personal information will be used in schools, it is uncertain whether these forms could potentially serve as another way to isolate and harm transgender youth.” | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/07/26/lee-county-school-district-announces-plan-to-identify-transgender-students/ | 2022-07-27T00:57:33 | 1 | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/07/26/lee-county-school-district-announces-plan-to-identify-transgender-students/ |
PIKEVILLE, KY (WOWK) — After a year of investigations, Pikeville police officers gathered just before sunrise to bring their plan to light.
“Today, we’re not looking for the people walking around with it in their pocket, we are looking for the people selling it. We’re looking for the people that are causing people to overdose,” Pikeville Police Department Lt. Chad Branham said.
The Pikeville Police Department allowed 13 News to ride along with their officers as they arrested 17 suspected drug dealers and served around 30 warrants in the community on Tuesday.
“We’re dealing with the worst of the worst drugs you can deal with. Today, all these indictments are based around methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl,” Branham said.
In a press release from the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, 2,250 Kentuckians died from an overdose in 2021. They say this is a 14.5% increase from 2020.
It says around 70% of all overdose deaths in Kentucky were due to the increased use of fentanyl. “The widespread availability of potent inexpensive methamphetamine,” is also to blame for the increase.
They say more than 107,000 overdose deaths were reported in the U.S. from December 2020 to December 2021.
“A lot of these people are going to be well known on the street to people in their neighborhood and it’s going to be a big relief to these people. They are going to feel safer about their kids playing in the street,” Branham said.
Branham found his first suspect with drugs sitting outside of her apartment in her car, just about a block away from Dorton Elementary School.
Many officers shared the same sentiment that this work was rewarding. They say they are doing exactly what residents want, getting drugs off the street.
Branham says, “When you ask the community what they want nipped in the bud, so to speak, more than anything, they say the drug epidemic because everything around here and probably most other places stems from drug activity.”
They say the work does not stop here. Branham says they hope to get another drug dealer roundup later on.
“It don’t stop here. There will be another one of these before long and we just like the community to know that because somebody’s going to take these people’s place while they’re incarcerated. Those people will be the next ones we are hooking up,” Branham said. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/13-news-rides-along-with-pikeville-pd-as-they-arrest-drug-dealers-around-the-community/ | 2022-07-27T00:58:52 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/13-news-rides-along-with-pikeville-pd-as-they-arrest-drug-dealers-around-the-community/ |
CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – The debate over the bill to outlaw abortion in West Virginia continues Wednesday, with the entire House weighing in.
Since the bill’s proposal on Monday, Democrats in the House of Delegates have tried to amend the bill in both the House Health and Judiciary Committees.
One of those amendments was to change the state’s proposed abortion bill to allow victims of rape and incest the right to abortion.
“Mountaineers are supposed to be free. House Bill 302 does not show any freedom. It is oppression,” said House Delegate Danielle Walker (D) Monongalia.
Both of those attempts, however, were rejected by the majority vote.
“We’re sorry that we weren’t able to make amendments against rape and abortion in Health and Judiciary this morning,” said House Delegate Lisa Zukoff (D) Marshall. “We’re sorry that folks don’t understand that you have the knowledge and should have the power to make those decisions for yourself.”
If the bill were to become law, the only exceptions would be fetal anomalies, ectopic pregnancies and medical emergencies.
“I think, right now, Republicans are holding strong on this, and as it stands now, I think it’ll pass with no amendments,” said House Delegate Kathie Hess Crouse (R) Putnam. “I want to vote on a bill that has no exceptions on it. That’s where I stand.”
Other attempted amendments by Democrats were to repeal the bill’s criminal penalties, which subject a doctor who performs abortions or gives abortion medications to three to 10 years in prison. The mother would not be punished.
Democrats argue that this bill will leave people with one option, self-induced abortions.
“This attempt on reproductive rights is an assassination. It will kill people,” Walker said.
Republicans, on the other hand, argue that the bill will be saving millions of babies’ lives.
“I believe this is a strong pro-life bill. So, I am happy with the construction of the bill as it stands right now,” said House Delegate Jonathan Pinson (R) Mason.
The Judiciary Committee did approve an amendment that would protect the life of a baby if the abortion doesn’t terminate the pregnancy.
“My preference is that life begins at conception and I’m not going to play God and I don’t want other people to play God to take away that life,” Crouse said.
The debate will continue Wednesday, July 27, when the public can also weigh in.
“I stand before you telling you it’s time to take a stand,” Walker said.
The public hearing will start at 9 a.m. in the Capitol Building.
Once that is over, the bill will go to the full House for a vote. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/bill-to-ban-abortion-in-wv-continues-to-pass-through-legislature/ | 2022-07-27T00:58:58 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/bill-to-ban-abortion-in-wv-continues-to-pass-through-legislature/ |
MINGO COUNTY, WV (WOWK) — Creeks turned to rivers in Gilbert Creek in Mingo County on Tuesday, putting homes and roads in danger.
This comes after many parts of the Tri-State went put on severe weather alerts, including flood watches and warnings.
The flooding in the Gilbert Creek area wiped out bridges and have left people stranded without access to their homes.
Residents saw many people’s possessions floating down the flooded creeks. One resident says they saw trash cans, porch furniture, toys and more go down the river.
Neighbors helped each other out by clearing debris from bridges and yards. People in the area say this area has a litter problem, which only makes the clean-up even harder. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/mingo-county-flooding-causes-many-to-lose-possessions/ | 2022-07-27T00:59:04 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/mingo-county-flooding-causes-many-to-lose-possessions/ |
LYNCHBURG, Va. – The group One Community, One Voice focuses on keeping crime out of communities by hosting a series of E.N.O.U.G.H rallies throughout Lynchburg.
The organization held its sixth and final rally of the summer on Tuesday at the Dearington apartment complex.
“I want them [Lynchburg residents] to have hope to know that there’s always a way to change,” said Dr. James Camm, Executive Director of One Community, One Voice.
Other than having fun, the events offer people resources and aims to change lives.
“There may be a child out there that just needs us that day to change their life, so they never pick up a gun and harm somebody,” said Camm.
But are these enough rallies enough?
Coincidentally, someone has been shot and killed in Lynchburg – either on the same day or one day after – three of the past five rallies.
“You can look at that [violence] and say, ‘well are you impacting in any way?’ We believe we are. We have to be determined that just because that behavior is still going on, we can’t shift that behavior,” said Camm.
Camm’s determined to shift the behavior and impact as much of the community as possible.
“We’re still out there [in the community]. We know that it makes a difference in some lives. We’re not always going to get [everyone], but we’re going to get as many people as we can,” said Camm.
One Community, One Voice hopes to change more lives when they host their back-to-school event on August 6 at the University of Lynchburg. Camm said they’ll hand out at least 1,500 backpacks, free school supplies, shoes, and even offer haircuts. They’ll also host a clinic with NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/26/are-lynchburgs-enough-rallies-enough-to-stop-gun-violence/ | 2022-07-27T01:01:10 | 1 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/26/are-lynchburgs-enough-rallies-enough-to-stop-gun-violence/ |
ROANOKE, Va. – Law enforcement and family are taking a big sigh of relief after a 13-year-old boy with autism came home safely.
Bobby Curry was reported missing a little after 7 a.m. on Tuesday when his legal guardians did not find the boy in his bedroom.
Phyllis Reyes, Bobby’s cousin and legal guardian, said that after making the call to 9-1-1, her emotions felt like a rollercoaster.
“Hurt. Upset. Just trying to keep my mind focused on him even though everything was kind of going crazy in my mind as to where he might be,” Reyes said.
60 officers from various agencies including Roanoke City Police Department, Roanoke County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI, and Roanoke Fire-Ems set up a central meeting location at the Food Lion off of Shenandoah Avenue and Peters Creek Road.
It was there that WSLS 10 learned more details about the child from Captain Andrew Pulley with Roanoke City Police Department and about the active search to find him. One of their biggest focuses was how to safely approach Bobby when he was found.
“Yelling and running toward him would probably be a bad idea. I know you’re trying to help but think about it from his perspective,” Pulley said.
Crews started their search in the 100 block of Frances Drive and expanded beyond that point.
And just before 1 p.m., police received a call from a woman that she was with the child.
Police said that the woman had picked up Bobby on northern Shenandoah Avenue and drove him around to find his home, then took him back to her own house before receiving the Virginia State Police alert about the missing child. It was then that she called the police.
“He was safe. He was unharmed. He was returned immediately to his guardians back at their residence,” Pulley said.
Fortunately, Bobby made it home safely, but his family is still wondering why he decided to leave in the middle of the night.
“Of course we’re happy, joyful that he’s here,” Reyes said. “But as a parent, you ask yourself why. You know you’re happy but there’s also that little bit of why? What were you thinking? What was going through your mind?”
Bobby’s biological parents live down in Martinsville, and Reyes explained how the situation impacts Bobby.
“I know that he misses his mom greatly so that’s kind of hard on him as well. I’m sure there’s a lot of emotions going on with Bobby,” Reyes said. “I’m very grateful for everyone that participated in bringing him back home and getting home safe.” | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/26/missing-roanoke-boy-with-autism-returns-home-safely/ | 2022-07-27T01:01:16 | 0 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/26/missing-roanoke-boy-with-autism-returns-home-safely/ |
BOTETOURT, Va. – The front line is thinning out, and the Roanoke Valley needs more first responders.
Botetourt County Fire and EMS is just one agency that’s looking to hire. They told 10 News that the ideal candidate has a passion to serve others.
“We see things the ordinary folks wouldn’t see, however, that could be someone’s worst day but we’re there to make it better, that’s a very unique profession and we strive to be a very professional yet a family-oriented group of folks,” Chief Jason Ferguson with the Botetourt County Fire and EMS said.
The county also approved an amendment on Tuesday afternoon that allows 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds to train as junior members, which will take effect next month.
According to their website, Botetourt County Fire and EMS is actively hiring Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Paramedics.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Hundreds of sunflowers are covering an art gallery in Lynchburg to support those impacted by the war in Ukraine.
Kim Soerensen, executive director of Riverviews Artspace, said they were just hoping for 20 or 30 artists to volunteer, but had more than 150 people donate over 200 pieces of artwork.
The ‘Sunflowers for Ukraine’ exhibit ranges from paintings to jewelry and visual art, from artists of all ages and even some people from out of state.
The artwork is for sale and they’ve raised $7,000 to donate so far.
“It would be great if we could donate $10,000. What we will do is divide it up and donate it to two organizations, World Kitchen and then also for Save the Children in Ukraine,” said Soerensen.
The exhibit is free and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. until August 18.
If you’re looking to purchase any artwork, Soerensen said only about 30-to-40 percent is still up for sale. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/27/sunflowers-for-ukraine-art-exhibit-raises-thousands-of-dollars-for-those-impacted-by-war/ | 2022-07-27T01:01:29 | 0 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/27/sunflowers-for-ukraine-art-exhibit-raises-thousands-of-dollars-for-those-impacted-by-war/ |
SCRANTON, Pa. — Outside of Scranton Police Headquarters, police officers flanked the fallen officers memorial as state and local officials announced the Officer John Wilding Law.
It says if an officer or K-9 is hurt or killed during a foot chase, the offender can be charged with a felony.
John Wilding was a police officer with the Scranton Police Department. He died in July of 2015 after he was injured chasing burglary suspects.
Officer Wilding's mother, Mary Wilding, says that after her son's death, she had to do something to honor his memory and protect the men and women who put their lives in danger every day.
"After he died, we heard stories of other officers and police animals being hurt or killed. We realized this is not enough justice for them, and we have to fix that."
This new law carries a lot of weight for officers with the Scranton Police Department, especially those who worked closely with Officer Wilding.
"I was there that night that terrible incident occurred, and I think about it quite often. I love his whole family and for them to do this just means the whole world to us," said Patrolman Scott Benzeleski.
The law was amended before it was passed to include K-9 officers — welcome news for the members of the Scranton Police Department K-9 unit.
"There's something in writing, something that could be justice if something did tragically happen, which obviously we don't want to happen, but if it did, there's something in place," Ptlm. Benzeleski said.
It took six years to get this law passed. Mary Wilding is thankful for those who helped make it possible.
"Seeing this support, I knew a lot of the faces here in uniform. They have become a part of the fabric of my life, and I'm grateful for every last one of them."
Gov. Wolf signed the bill into law on July 17, five days after the anniversary of Officer Wilding's death.

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — New sets of wheels are rolling into Monroe County this week, bringing along a new service — Pony Plus.
"It's similar to what we know Uber and Lyft do, so it's a short trip on demand, so as the bus says, 'Book now, ride now.' That's the idea," said Peggy Howarth, executive director of the Monroe County Transit Authority (MCTA).
For just $2 each way, the MCTA van will take riders through the Mount Pocono and Stroudsburg areas.
"They're fairly dense with population and activities, so we thought they would be a good trip generator — areas where people need to come and go," said Howarth.
"Riders don't need to make a trip to the bus stop anymore. It's as simple as pulling out your phone, getting the app, and the ride comes to you.
"What you do is you get on the app, create your registration, and then book your trip within the zone, and within 10 to 15 minutes, we expect to be there to pick you up and bring you to your destination," Richard Schlameuss, MCTA assistant director, said.
Monroe County is just one of five counties in the state to roll out a service like this, bridging the transportation gap for certain areas with five Pony Plus vehicles set to hit the road.
"What we've been trying to do is look at new ways to provide transportation. Transportation always seems to be a barrier or a challenge for people," Schlameuss said. "Our buses don't go everywhere, so it is really important for us to make sure we create that opportunity for folks to get to their appointments, go grocery shopping, meet with their friends, and create that transit availability that we didn't have before."
The Pony Plus service will run Monday through Friday, starting August 1. Get more information here.

A Virginia appellate court has denied a request by Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney and Richmond police Chief Gerald Smith to review a Richmond Circuit judge’s ruling that would allow a $5 million wrongful termination suit against them to proceed.
Former Richmond police Maj. William “Jody” Blackwell is suing Stoney and Smith individually, saying they violated state law and policy when, according to his complaint, he was fired in retaliation “because he refused an order of Stoney that Blackwell have his officers stand guard over the emergency removal of Richmond’s city-owned Confederate monuments” in 2020.
People are also reading…
Blackwell, who served as interim police chief for 11 days at the height of the civil unrest of 2020, told Stoney at the time that it was illegal to “disturb or interfere with any monuments or memorials for any war or conflict.” That law was subsequently amended by the General Assembly on July 1, 2020, after Blackwell alleges Stoney issued the order.
On July 26, 2020, 11 days after first naming Blackwell interim chief, Stoney asked Blackwell to step down. Stoney then installed Smith as chief effective July 1, 2020, the same day the city removed a statue of Stonewall Jackson from its pedestal.
Blackwell returned to his former rank of major, and it wasn’t until February 2021 that Smith fired him, at Stoney’s direction, Blackwell alleges in his suit.
Blackwell initially filed a complaint in July 2021 seeking $5 million in damages from the city. But Richmond Circuit Judge William R. Marchant ruled March 24 that the city is protected by “sovereign immunity,” a legal doctrine upheld in Virginia by finding that municipalities are immune from civil lawsuits based on wrongdoing committed by an employee during the performance of their duties.
But in his ruling, Marchant said alleged wrongdoing “would only survive a plea of sovereign immunity if the suit was against individuals, not the city” and said he would allow Blackwell, and his attorney, Scott Crowley, to file an amended complaint. They did April 1.
On June 22, Stoney and Smith filed to petition for review by the Virginia Court of Appeals, challenging Marchant’s rulings. They argued that the city’s full immunity extends to them because they could only make and carry out employment decisions in their respective official capacities, and they were acting within the scope of their employment.
A three-judge panel of the appellate court agreed with Marchant in a ruling issued Friday.
“Contrary to the petitioner’s assertion, [Blackwell’s] amended complaint expressly alleged intentional misconduct,” the panel wrote. “Blackwell expressly alleged that ‘Stoney directed Smith to terminate Blackwell’s employment in retaliation for reporting a violation of state law, for refusing to engage in a criminal act, and refusing to violate state law.”
The panel added: “We agree with the circuit court that — for the limited purpose of addressing the sovereign immunity, qualified immunity and [Virginia Code] issues raised in Stoney and Smith’s [motion to dismiss] — Blackwell’s express allegations of historical fact sufficiently alleged an intentional tort from which the petitioners are not immune.”
The panel said it did not address other issues Stoney and Smith raised in their motion to dismiss. | https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/court-denies-richmond-mayor-chief-request-to-review-5-million-lawsuit-rulings/article_bd62b022-2094-5925-b2d0-5a985b69539d.html | 2022-07-27T01:13:23 | 0 | https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/court-denies-richmond-mayor-chief-request-to-review-5-million-lawsuit-rulings/article_bd62b022-2094-5925-b2d0-5a985b69539d.html |

VDOT’s initial assessment of the area identified the primary areas of concerns as the amount of marked crosswalks, disconnected sidewalk networks and traffic congestion at intersections.
Just two of 34 study intersections have marked crosswalks, according to VDOT.
Following its first round of surveys, which generated more than 1,200 responses, VDOT has recommended a number of alternatives to address access and mobility concerns.
The first set of recommendations featured in the survey would transform Staples Mill into a multi-modal route featuring a dedicated bus lane and bike paths.
VDOT also analyzed several intersections that were areas of concern and recommended implementing crosswalks, modifying traffic signals and providing pedestrian islands to reduce the strain on street networks.

SPRING BRANCH, Texas — Tuesday marks one week since 45-year-old Shana DiMambro vanished from her RV home in Spring Branch, just north of San Antonio.
A follow up phone call to the Comal County Sheriff's Office revealed no update in the missing persons case.
However, there are people in the community searching for her other than family. DJ Seeger is organizing a public search tonight near the only Walmart in Spring Branch, off Singing Oaks. Seeger plans to gather a group at 7 p.m.
This isn't the first search Seeger has organized since her disappearance. He held his first one last Sunday, where dozens joined him to find DiMambro. The Spring Branch native said her husband Chris Antos joined along.
"He cried for a little bit then he jumped in and tried to help the best he could. He was just helping us scan the ground looking for anything and we were asking him a lot questions about her during the entire time," said Seeger.
Seeger first learned about the missing woman after the sheriff's office posted about the case online. He realized she vanished near the area and around the same time where his company was establishing a water system last Tuesday along SH-46.
"We jumped in thinking maybe our truck dash cameras caught something but we didn't get anything from it," he said.
Later, he found the Facebook group Shana DiMambro Missing and read people were interested in hosting a search. Seeger said he's also been in touch with DiMambro's family.
"I thought well as a company, we got the GIS maps to set up a grid to organize people, so we put a post out and brought people together," said Seeger.
ATVs, trucks, drones and a tracking dog have been used in their search efforts so far. Seeger said he also checked surveillance cameras in the Shops at Faithville but nothing turned up there either.
"I'm always looking for ways to serve. I served for seven years at the Crisis Center of Comal County as a volunteer for sexual assault and domestic violence. Any time I hear of an exploitation or a missing person or an abused victim or something, it's always something I want to jump in and see if there is anything I can offer to help," he said.
For tonight, Seeger said volunteers will search a large concrete culvert and two retention ponds near the Walmart. He notified the sheriff's office in hopes they'll send deputies to assist.
"It's just a shock to the community. It's just so rare for anyone to disappear out here," he said. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/spring-branch-man-searches-missing-woman/273-4750d0ed-0f35-4ba5-89b6-2d1f1d9f4524 | 2022-07-27T01:13:29 | 1 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/spring-branch-man-searches-missing-woman/273-4750d0ed-0f35-4ba5-89b6-2d1f1d9f4524 |
Originally scheduled to take place 28 months ago before the COVID-19 pandemic prematurely put a halt to the Big Sky Conference basketball tournaments in Boise, Idaho, the Big Sky Conference officially honored the 14 members of its inaugural Hall of Fame class Saturday night as part of the Big Sky Football Kickoff in Spokane, Washington.
Fittingly, Northern Arizona's trio of inductees into the first Big Sky Conference Hall of Fame class come from the cross country and track and field programs. Angela Chalmers, Lopez Lomong and Ron Mann, whose careers in Flagstaff span 1980 to 2007 and included several conference titles, multiple NCAA championships, and eventually Olympic appearances.
One of those Olympic Games even tied together Lomong and Mann, with both representing the United States in Beijing in 2008, and they officially entered the Big Sky Hall of Fame on the same night after originally being announced as members of the class in December 2019.

"It's a great honor for both of us, with our love for Northern Arizona No. 1 and then we were on the Olympic Team together in 2008," Mann said. "To have the opportunity to be on the Olympic floor for opening ceremonies with the flag bearer, it doesn't get any better than that. And both of us from Northern Arizona University. Who would have thought it?"
Mann's coaching career at Northern Arizona began in 1980 and lasted until 2004 and followed his own running career for the Lumberjacks that included the Big Sky Conference title in 1971.
"It's a fantastic day to be a Lumberjack because this is a great coach who had a vision of this sport and where NAU needed to be on the world stage," Lomong said. "And we literally put NAU on the map. It's a great celebration, it brought it full circle, and this is exactly where it all began, because of him."
One of Mann's first athletes, Chalmers, rounded out the trio. Mann shared stories of the two-time Olympian's time with the Lumberjacks. The Big Sky's first NCAA champion in cross country, Chalmers was truly one of the first premier runners at Northern Arizona with a career that included a bronze medal in the 3,000-meter run at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
Angela Chalmers -- women's cross country/track and field, 1982-87
Chalmers became the Big Sky's first NCAA champ in cross country in 1986 and was a six-time All-American. She also placed eighth at the 1985 NCAA cross country championship meet. Chalmers finished second at the 1984 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship in the 1500m and third in the mile at the 1983 NCAA indoors meet. She placed fifth in the 1550m in 1984, second in the 3000m in 1985 at the NCAA outdoor championships, and she was third in the 1500m and fifth in the 3000m during the 1987 season.
Chalmers was a 1988 and 1992 Olympian, and captured the bronze medal in the 3000m at the 1992 Olympics. She capped her career as Northern Arizona's indoor record holder in the 1500m.
She also holds three outdoor records at Northern Arizona in the 800m, 1500m and 3000m events.
Lopez Lomong -- men's cross country/track and field, 2005-07
Lomong, a two-time Olympian, served as the U.S. delegation Opening Ceremony flag bearer at the 2008 Olympic Games. The 2012 Visa Humanitarian of the Year is one of the most decorated cross country and track and field athletes to compete in the Big Sky, as he has set American records and won numerous USATF titles.
The 2007 NCAA indoor 3000m champ and 2007 NCAA outdoor 1500m champ was named the NCAA Mountain Region Individual Champion and Mountain Region Male Track Athlete of the Year. Lomong recorded top-four finishes at the 2006 and 2007 NCAA cross country championship meets. He is a two-time Big Sky cross country individual and team champion, and 12-time Big Sky Conference Athlete of the Week.
He's one of four Big Sky triple champions -- 2007 Big Sky indoor 800m, mile and 3000m. The two-time Big Sky Indoor Athlete of the Meet won the 800m and mile in 2006. In 2007, Lomong was named the Big Sky Conference Outdoor Outstanding Athlete of the Meet. He won the 800m, 1,500m and 5,000m. In 2006 he won the Big Sky outdoor 800m and 1500m races.
He owns the Big Sky outdoor records in the 800m and 1,500m.
Ron Mann -- cross country/track and field coach, 1980-2004
Mann was the director of cross country and track and field from1980-2004 for Northern Arizona. He coached the 1991 women's cross country team to a third-place finish in the national meet, the highest NCAA meet finish by any women's cross country program in Big Sky history.
Mann's teams made history in 1998, as Northern Arizona became the first school in conference history to win all four cross country conference titles in the same year. He produced at least one Olympian in every Summer Games from 1984 through 2004. Mann coached a total of 103 student-athletes who earned All-America honors and 16 who finished among the top 10 at the national championships. He had athletes compete at 115 NCAA cross country and track and field championship meets.
Mann was inducted into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame in 2018. Overall, Mann earned 56 Big Sky Coach of the Year awards, 58 Big Sky team championships across men's and women's cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field.
Track and field
Just shy of a year to the day of his historic performance at the Tokyo Olympics, former Northern Arizona star Luis Grijalva put together an incredible performance in the 5000m finals on Sunday at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon. With a season-best 13:10.44, Grijalva nearly medaled and came away with a fourth-place finish in his first world championship appearance.
Grijalva's final time was 35 seconds off of his personal best and Guatemalan 5K national record of 13:10.09 set in Tokyo in August. Meanwhile, Abdihamid Nur's own historic season came to a close with an 11th-place finish at 13:18.05.
Entering Sunday's 5000m final at Hayward Field with the 14th-fastest season-best time (13:14.04) in the 15-runner field, Grijalva started fast and sat in second behind Tokyo gold medalist Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda through the first 1,000 meters.
Kenya's Nicholas Kipkorir took the lead at the 2,000-meter split and continued to lead the pack through 3,000 meters, with Grijalva right on his heels just .09 seconds off the lead at 8:04.59. Grijalva slipped to seventh with 1,000 meters to go before making his move on the final lap.
Displaying his signature kick in the final 400 meters, Grijalva crossed the line a 24 seconds behind Uganda's Oscar Chelimo. Immediately behind Grijalva was Canada's Mohammed Ahmed -- Toyko's silver medalist -- and Grant Fisher.
Nur's 11th-place finish capped a season that included four All-American honors and two individual national titles. After placing seventh in the fall and helping the Lumberjacks capture their fifth men's cross country national championship, Nur swept the 3K and 5K national titles at the NCAA indoor championship meet and was third in the 10K at the outdoor championships. | https://azdailysun.com/sports/local/nau-roundup-lumberjacks-trio-enters-big-sky-hall-of-fame/article_5e1a81a0-0d0f-11ed-aa04-efba17834936.html | 2022-07-27T01:18:03 | 1 | https://azdailysun.com/sports/local/nau-roundup-lumberjacks-trio-enters-big-sky-hall-of-fame/article_5e1a81a0-0d0f-11ed-aa04-efba17834936.html |
Manatee County declares 'Victory for Life Day' to celebrate Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade
Seneca Bristol sat in the third row of a crowded Manatee County meeting, and when her name was called the local 15-year-old girl quietly walked to the podium and criticized the board of county commissioners for proclaiming Tuesday as “Victory for Life Day.”
Late last month, while Manatee County was in its summer recess, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that established a woman’s right to an abortion.
In the first order of business after returning from summer break, Manatee County commissioners celebrated the controversial decision by proclaiming Tuesday as "Victory for Life Day."

Opinion:Overturning Roe puts Florida's sex-trafficking survivors at risk
Bristol was among a dozen women from different generations who attended Tuesday’s meeting in protest of the proclamation.
“I’m here for all women,” she said. "I can't even drive yet, and you are telling me that I can have a child even if I'm raped, even if it's incest, no matter what it is, you are telling me that I am forced to have that child. You are telling every woman that they are forced to have this child, and that is not OK."
Manatee County’s pro-life proclamation
Over the past year, Manatee County’s elected officials have clashed with local activists over their stance on abortion rights after commissioner James Satcher proposed a county-level ban on abortion clinics, even though there are no clinics are offer abortions in Manatee County.
Advocacy groups like the Women’s Voices of Southwest Florida frequented meetings and mounted protests on days when the county commissioners debated and advanced Satcher’s proposal.
Ultimately, the board decided not to pursue a local ban after an opinion issued by the Florida Attorney General’s office advised the county to leave the matter up to the state – and soon afterward, state-level officials approved restrictions to ban abortion after 15 weeks.
Tuesday's proclamation thanked the five supreme court justices who ruled in favor of overturning the decision, former Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump for appointing them, and other political figures who vote for pro-life values such as U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan and Florida state Rep. Will Robinson, Rep. Tommy Gregory and Sen. Jim Boyd.
Robinson attended the meeting to “proudly” accept the proclamation.
“I am very proud of the pro-life policies that we adopted in Florida including the 15-week ban, which is actually in my view a moderate proposal,” Robinson said at the meeting. “Florida, in my view, will stop being an abortion factory because of this law.”
“It’s a victory for life, but the fight moves on,” he said.
'I am pro-choice': Manatee commissioner publicly shares raw details of her own abortion as ban debated
Republican Commissioner Vanessa Baugh made the motion to approve the proclamation.
“I do feel that the right thing was done because any child, that’s a life, and we need to preserve it and protect it,” Baugh said.
Democratic Commissioner Reggie Bellamy was the lone nay vote.
“I do think we are in a very, very unfortunate time in our society if we are in a situation where we are taking the voice away from women,” he said.
Generations of women criticize Manatee County
The audience Tuesday was mostly filled by women from various generations concerned about the suppression of their reproductive rights, and a group of moms who showed up to chastise the county over separate efforts to allow employees to carry firearms while at work.
Bristol, who attended the meeting in support of Women’s Voices for Southwest Florida, expressed frustration that politicians were interfering with her autonomy.
Sarasota County resident Leah Tiberini, 22, admonished the board of county commissioners from behind the safety of a mask that said “I Support Animal Rights” with a picture of a bunny rabbit on it.
“These are things that our grandmothers, mothers, and the women before them had to fight for,” Tiberini told the Herald-Tribune. “It’s so inappropriate that they are proclaiming, celebrating, doing whatever, for this absolute attack on our constitutional rights.”
Denzil Sol, 88, was also in the audience Tuesday morning wearing a purple shirt that read: "Mind Your Own Uterus."
She has considered herself an activist since she first protested the use of napalm during the Vietnam War, and has supported many causes like the Civil Rights Movement and Women’s Movement in the 1950s and 60s.
“Now here we are again, way back to where we were 55 years ago,” Sol said. “Once you feel a responsibility to yourself and your friends, and the other people in the world, you have the choice to sit back and say, ‘My my’ or get out there and do what you can to change it. So I’ve always been one for doing what I could.” | https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/local/manatee/2022/07/26/manatee-county-commissioners-declare-victory-life-day-meeting/10156299002/ | 2022-07-27T01:24:38 | 0 | https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/local/manatee/2022/07/26/manatee-county-commissioners-declare-victory-life-day-meeting/10156299002/ |
Yuma man charged with murdering brother, sister-in-law
A 63-year-old Yuma man was charged in the recent killing of his younger brother and his sister-in-law at the home the three shared.
Jerry Klahn is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Kenneth Baese, 60, and Eileen Baese, 57, according to Yuma police.
On Sunday, police found both victims dead with multiple stab wounds in the backyard of the home on Ninth Avenue and Sixth Street. Klahn was also found with multiple stab wounds at the property, police said.
Officers on scene were responding around 5:13 p.m. to a domestic disturbance call made by a relative in another state, according to Yuma Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Lori Franklin.
Klahn and Kenneth Bease were brothers, and the victims were married, Franklin said. It was not known whether Klahn's stab wounds were self-inflicted or defensive, Franklin said.
Klahn was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center before being flown to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix for treatment, according to the police department and court documents.
An investigation found Klahn had stabbed Eileen and Kenneth Bease multiple times.
Klahn was arrested at the hospital and booked Monday at the Maricopa County Jail, according to Franklin and court documents. Jail records as of Tuesday afternoon did not show he remained in custody, but records from Yuma County Superior Court show he was released on a $2 million bond.
Klahn was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the suspected offense, according to court records.
Yuma police said the case remains an active investigation.
Police asked anyone with information on the case to call Yuma police at 928-783-4421, or 78-Crime (928-782-7463) to remain anonymous.

Mesa police: Man involved in domestic violence situation fled from officers, caused crashed
A man was arrested on suspicion of being involved in a domestic violence situation and causing a crash near U.S. 60 and Val Vista Drive after fleeing from Mesa police on Monday night.
Mesa police were called to a “possible domestic violence situation” in the area of Val Vista Drive and University Drive around 6:45 p.m., according to Sgt. Chuck Trapani, a spokesperson with Mesa police. Before officers arrived at the scene, the police helicopter spotted the suspect’s vehicle leaving the area.
Officers tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the suspect — later identified as Phillip Penneman, 45 — ran red lights and fled at a high speed, according to Trapani. Mesa police did not pursue Penneman, but the helicopter followed the vehicle from above. Help from the Arizona Department of Public Safety was also requested.
Troopers first tried a grappler deployment to stop Penneman and it was unsuccessful, according to Bart Graves, a DPS spokesperson. Trapani said troopers tried to use the grappler again, and in an attempt to avoid them, Penneman ended up crashing with two vehicles that were not involved in the chase.
When officers approached the suspect’s vehicle, they found Penneman had “apparent self-inflicted” puncture wounds in his body. A knife covered in blood was found inside the passenger compartment.
Trapani said they don’t know when Penneman injured himself. He was detained and taken to a hospital where he was in stable condition as of Tuesday afternoon.
Once he is released, he will be booked for aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, unlawful flight from law enforcement, endangerment and criminal camage, according to Trapani.
The occupants of the other vehicles declined medical treatment.

Death sentence upheld in death of Arizona girl locked in box
The Arizona Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction and death sentence handed down to a woman in the 2011 suffocation of her 10-year-old cousin who was locked in a plastic storage box as punishment and left to die.
In a decision Tuesday, the justices rejected Sammantha Allen’s claims that prosecutors had improperly suggested she was the person who killed Ame Deal and that Allen’s husband was solely responsible for punishing the child.
Ame was ordered to get into the box because she had stolen an ice pop. Allen and her husband, John Allen, fell asleep and discovered the next morning that the child had died.
The court said Sammantha Allen not only failed to provide aid to her dying relative, but she also participated in the punishment and that her failure to release her from the container is what killed Ame.
Ame Deal murder case: Sammantha Allen's family members told police about horrific abuse, defense says
“To characterize Sammantha’s actions as mere presence or a simple failure to render aid in a life-threatening situation mischaracterizes the facts,” the justices wrote.
While the court upheld all of Allen’s convictions in Ame’s death, her two-year sentence for one of her four child abuse convictions was thrown out after prosecutors conceded that they had fallen short of the number of aggravating factors needed for a tougher sentence. She will be resentenced on one of the child abuse convictions.
Two years ago, the Supreme Court upheld John Allen’s convictions and death sentence.
The 10-year-old’s death was the cruel culmination of a history of abuse that a handful of relatives heaped on her at the home they shared in Phoenix, authorities said.
Investigators say Ame was forced to eat dog feces, crush aluminum cans barefoot and consume hot sauce. She was kicked in the face, beaten with a wooden paddle and forcibly dunked after being thrown in a cold swimming pool.
She had been forced into the plastic box on other occasions. The box was less than 3 feet long (91 centimeters), less than 1 foot (30 centimeters) wide and a foot (30 centimeters) deep. Ame stood about 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall and weighed nearly 60 pounds (27 kilograms).
Authorities say Ame was treated more harshly than other children at the home, and her family members characterized her as a liar and thief.
Three other relatives, including an aunt who served as Ame’s legal guardian, were sentenced to prison for abusing the girl.
Child welfare authorities in Arizona said they didn’t receive any reports of abuse before her death. Police said child welfare reports from Utah, where the family lived before moving to Phoenix, listed Ame as an abused child.
Trial: Videotaped confession reveals details about Ame Deal's death
Ame’s mother left the family years earlier after suffering abuse by relatives and moved to Kansas without taking her daughter. David Deal, who is listed on Ame’s birth certificate as her father, is serving a 14-year sentence after pleading guilty to attempted child abuse.
Ame’s legal guardian at the time of her death was her aunt, Cynthia Stoltzmann, who is serving a 24-year prison sentence for a child abuse conviction. Ame’s grandmother, Judith Deal, was sentenced to a 10-year prison sentence on a child abuse conviction.

PHOENIX — It’s been more than 20 years since Department of Public Safety Trooper Juan Cruz lost his life in the line of duty.
In December 1998, Cruz was investigating a traffic collision on Interstate 10 at Ruthrauff Road in Tucson. His patrol car was struck behind by a driver under the influence and burst into flames. He was 48 years old.
“Juan was a one-of-a-kind person. Best brother you could’ve ever had,” said his brother, Carlos Cruz. “He dedicated his life to public service for the citizens of Arizona.”
Juan was a brother. A father. A dedicated trooper with DPS.
“He gave his life giving the ultimate sacrifice,” said Juan's brother, Armando Cruz.
Juan's brothers, along with family friend Jim Sayre, want to honor that service by naming the newly built overpass at the I-10 and Ruthrauff Road in Tucson after Juan.
They started petitioning the Arizona State Board On Geographic and Historic Names two years ago.
“To change this from a place of mourning every time we pass it and change it to a place of honoring him,” said Sayre.
It’s taken two years – in part because of the pandemic and a change in board members. Finally, the family petition went before the committee Tuesday.
There was no decision as the committee waits for an official response from the Pima County Board of Supervisors and the City of Tucson.
“He is still with us. Patrols the highways. His presence will be felt,” said Armando.
“And this would be a great tribute to Juan’s legacy and to his family,” said Carlos.
Cruz’s brothers also worked in law enforcement and have over 150 years of experience combined.

ARIZONA, USA — On a single day this past week, 38 kids came into foster care in Arizona. Many of them, the Department of Child Safety said, were in large sibling groups.
DCS is now expecting with school starting up; they’ll see more reports and more kids who will need foster care.
"There’s so many kids that just need your love"
For the past eight months since the little girl was two weeks old, Hope Kopp and her family have had a temporary addition.
“There’s so many kids that just need your love,” Kopp said.
The baby girl is the latest foster child Kopp has cared for.
“I’ve had about 32 foster placements,” Kopp said. “Sometimes they stay a week, and then they find kinship or go home. Sometimes they stay a couple of years. I had somebody for 22 months.” Kopp has even adopted four children of her own over the past 15 years as a foster parent.
“It's changed my whole life. I mean, it wasn't the path that I thought that it was going down. But it's changed my whole life,” Kopp said.
The first child she adopted was the first placed in her home.
“It's been an amazing journey. It's very rewarding. I mean, you think you're helping out these kids, but the love that they need and that you're giving them it's so rewarding, it's beneficial to both sides,” Kopp said.
But last Wednesday, Kopp saw an email from DCS detailing 38 kids needing a foster placement in a single day.
“It’s gut-wrenching. When you see kids that were just removed from what they’re used to, and then they’re in a holding pattern until they get to a foster home,” Kopp said. “And you just want to, you just want to go tell all your friends, you need to be foster parents, you need to open up your home to these kids, they need a safe place to go.”
Foster parents needed
It’s unclear what led to the 38 kids needing care last Wednesday, but Mollie Mesaros, Foster Supports Manager at DCS’ Office of Licensing and Regulation, said most kids have been placed into foster homes.
“We saw an unusual amount of children and young adults who came into care. A lot of large sibling groups, which is a constant need,” Mesaros said.
There’s a constant need too for foster parents.
According to DCS reports, bed space in licensed foster homes is at a five-year low.
The latest data shows only about 6,329 beds are available.
While the number of kids in out-of-home care is also at the lowest in at least five years, DCS records show there are still 11,722 kids in out-of-home care.
“When we don't have enough foster caregivers, we utilize congregate care group home settings,” Mesaros said.
Mesaros said there are 1,800 kids in group home settings that could be placed in foster homes if available.
“There's constantly new kids coming into the system. So just encouraging other families to if they have the means to open up their homes,” Kopp said.
Kopp encourages those considering becoming foster parents at all to just take the first step.
“Even if you're helping one child, for the time that you need to be there for them, it's so rewarding, makes a difference,” Kopp said.
DCS said the process to get licensed takes about four to six months but is self-driven. More information about what it takes to become a foster parent can be found here.
School year increases
Both Kopp and Mesaros said with the school year starting back up; usually, more kids need foster care.
That’s partly because mandatory reporters, like teachers, have more eyes on kids during school, which can lead to more calls into the hotline and kids needing care.
“None of these children are in care because of anything that they did. They're not bad kids. They are in care because of something that happened to them,” Mesaros said. “And all that they need is a loving supportive home, to help them get through what they're going through.”
DCS's latest stats show more than 2,700 cases haven’t had case notes done in two months. That’s almost three times the benchmark the state set in 2016.
“Our inactive case numbers have been inflated recently by a combination of staffing challenges and data issues after we implemented our new operating system. We have reached stability on both of those issues and expect the number to clear over the next three to six months,” a spokesperson told 12News in an email.

PHOENIX — Phoenix firefighters are called to different emergency-type situations every day.
But now they have launched a new tool that is helping them respond quicker and safer.
When it comes to emergencies, Phoenix firefighters are getting a helping hand with some new technology.
>> Live, local, breaking. Download the 12News app
"This guy is one of our three drones in our fleet," Capt. Kenny Overton said as he looked at the new aircraft.
"We're always looking for new and creative ways to serve the citizens of Phoenix," Capt. Evan Gammage explained. "This gives us another tool."
With different features like multiple cameras, thermal capabilities and a powerful zooming function, these drones are an extra set of eyes when firefighters need it most.
"So, we're looking at roughly 35 minutes of flight time per battery," Overton said.
"The dream of getting this was just as another resource for us, another tool for both structure fires and mountain rescues," Gammage said. "With structure fires, it allows us to get an elevated view and get in place pretty rapidly so we can see different sides of the fire."
Since the program's launch more than a month ago, Phoenix firefighters have used this new technology in more than a dozen service calls. And they say, so far, it's proven to be extremely helpful.
"So getting that roof view and a 360-degree view of the structure is extremely helpful not only for us in suppressing the fire but in operating it safely," Gammage said.
These eyes in the sky are taking Phoenix Fire's emergency response to new heights, making them better, quicker, and more efficient when disaster strikes.
So far there are 10 pilots who are now trained and certified to fly the drones. The department hopes to expand the program and get more of its officers involved.
They also say other departments in the area have reached out to get their thoughts on utilizing drones and to see if it would be beneficial for their agencies.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — From watching a K-9 demonstration to seeing what it’s like to be inside Fayetteville Police’s emergency response team vehicle, the kids in the Citizens’ Youth Police Academy are learning what it’s like to be a police officer.
“We are super excited to open them up to the world of what policing is... and you know, hope that they take what they learn, embrace it, enjoy it and want to continue it in the future,” said Corporal Malik Freeman.
This year was the department’s largest youth academy with 100 kids in grades five through 12 taking part in three sessions throughout the summer.
Mayar Alhwaidi is going into 9th grade at Haas Hall Academy. This is her second summer doing the academy. She loved learning about how crimes are investigated.
“I’ve just been really interested in criminal justice and I came back this year because it’s really fun and I learned a lot. It’s a lot of different stuff that you don’t experience on a daily basis,” she said.
And Shane Bartlett is going into 10th grade at Kingston High School. This was his first year in the academy.
“I see a lot of opportunity in this program for later on in my career and life because I’d like to be a cop when I grow up, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn, learn young,” he said.
Corporal Freeman says they also teamed up with Central EMS and the Fayetteville Fire Department to show the kids what they do. All the kids also get CPR certified. He says getting to be part of the academy is a rewarding experience.
“It’s awesome to see their excitement, it’s awesome to hear from parents about how exhausted the students are at the end of the day when they get them back. We see a lot of comments on Facebook when we post pictures of what they are doing throughout the week and tell us how excited their students are,” said Freeman.
The Fayetteville Police Department says they are thankful to all their sponsors for helping with their academies. Any child in 5th through 12th grade will be able to sign up for the academy next summer, free of charge.

LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. — A Lebanon County man was arrested and charged with drug and weapons violations after being arrested on a warrant, according to police.
Dakota Kauffman, 26, from Myerstown, is facing several drug and weapons charges, including two counts of possession with intent to deliver controlled substance, one count of person not to possess a firearm, one count of possession of a prohibited weapon, one count of small possession of marijuana and methamphetamines, one count of possession of alprazolam, and one count of drug paraphernalia.
According to police, on July 19 just before 1 a.m., they responded to a Sheetz in Lititz after reports that the driver of a car was acting suspicious.
Police found the car, a red 2004 BMW, and discovered it was owned by Kauffman, who had a warrant out for his arrest.
Police say they found Kauffman inside the bathroom of the Sheetz where he was placed under arrest.
Outside of the Sheetz, officers say that they saw a large amount of meth in plain view outside of Kauffman's vehicle. They then say Kauffman gave consent for officers to seize the drugs.
Police say they gathered 12.6 grams of meth from the scene. Twenty-one pills of Alprazolam were also recovered.
Kauffman was then taken to Lancaster County Prison on the warrant and his car was impounded.
On July 20, officers received a search warrant for Kauffman's BMW.
While searching the car, police say they found 1.2 ounces of crystal meth, a half pound of marijuana, packaging materials, digital scales, needles, a loaded 12-gauge shotgun, a switchblade knife, and a pill believed to be MDMA.
On Thursday, July 21, while trying to retrieve his BMW from impound, police say Kauffman admitted that he had additional drugs in the car he had driven to the police department.
Kauffman was then arrested again at the West Earl Police Department.
Officers recovered an additional two ounces of crystal meth, a small quantity of suspected heroin, and packaging material.
Kauffman was taken back to Lancaster County Prison and is awaiting trial. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/lebanon-county-man-charged-while-house-arrest-myerstown-dakota-kauffman/521-3fd6a549-5bc0-49be-91f3-433ee2273f73 | 2022-07-27T01:43:56 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/lebanon-county-man-charged-while-house-arrest-myerstown-dakota-kauffman/521-3fd6a549-5bc0-49be-91f3-433ee2273f73 |
GENTRY, Ark. — The weather has been difficult for everyone this summer, especially farmers.
“When it’s 105 and high humidity, it’s rough out there,” said Bill Taylor, Taylor’s Orchard.
And with little rain this summer, it’s making it more difficult for farmers like Bill Taylor to make sure their crops are adequately watered.
“If I hadn’t been hauling water to my blackberries, I wouldn’t have blackberries up here today…I’m hauling about 2,500 gallons every day to the blackberries,” Taylor said.
Taylor says he has already drained two of his ponds and now has to buy water from the city of Gentry.
Market Manager Teresa Maurer says since the land is so dry, some vendors have even had issues with pests ruining their crops.
“What happens too is when the environment dries out, then you have more pest problems, both the four-legged kind like deer, and other kinds of pests as well,” Maurer said.
The harsh weather conditions have also impacted pricing and availability.
“If somebody’s got a reduction in how much they can harvest, you know and their prices go up because of water, because of labor, everything else there is a little bit of a jump,” said Teresa Maurer, Market Manager, Fayetteville Farmers Market.
But that has farmers hopeful the rain will come again, and soon.
“I’m hoping and praying that we get some rain, a significant amount to do some good. I probably won’t stop watering the blackberries anyway,” Taylor said.
The vendors remain optimistic about making it through this difficult summer weather.
“There was something like this about 10 years ago, we survived it, we’ll survive again,” Maurer said. | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/record-heat-farmers-markets-impact/527-14dfd27f-c631-4176-be64-259bce6d7b5a | 2022-07-27T01:44:02 | 0 | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/record-heat-farmers-markets-impact/527-14dfd27f-c631-4176-be64-259bce6d7b5a |
MIDLAND, Texas — Several Midland students will be able to show up to school with new shoes this year.
The Salvation Army held its annual back to school drive in partnership with Shoe Carnival.
Every year the drive gives out hundreds of free shoes to children in need.
Normally the cap is at 200, but thanks to the James Buddy Foundation they were able to increase the number to 300 this year.
However the need is still great as the Salvation Army says it saw around 400 applications on the first day they were open.
Both the non-profit and the parents are grateful.
"I think it's wonderful. I think with it like this, with everything's that's going on, Covid and everything, it's going to help a lot of families and it's a great thing," said Amber Murphy, a parent of children who received free shoes.
The Salvation Army says it plans to do events like this as long as there is a need and donor support. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/salvation-army-shoes-back-to-school/513-13dced37-cac2-4b2b-a25b-d6d7089faa27 | 2022-07-27T01:44:38 | 0 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/salvation-army-shoes-back-to-school/513-13dced37-cac2-4b2b-a25b-d6d7089faa27 |
UPPER TOWNSHIP — Jake Klecko and Pat Bakey and Mike Fitzpatrick and Andrew Treffeisen made things interesting Tuesday.
Klecko and Bakey, doubles rowers from the Wildwood Crest Beach Patrol, and Fitzpatrick and Treffeisen, of Cape May, were neck-and-neck for the entire Upper Township Beach Patrol M.S. Six-Mile Bay Row at the Deauville Inn.
“The only reason we were able to push and finish as fast as we did was because (Fitzpatrick and Treffeisen) were right on our heels the entire time,” Bakey said.
Klecko and Bakey, who were in about eighth place early in the race, won for the second straight summer. Wildwood Crest’s Terry McGovern and Matt Benedetto took third Tuesday.
Klecko and Bakey finished in 1 hour, 12 minutes, 40 seconds. Fitzpatrick and Treffeisen crossed the finish line in 1:12.49. McGovern and Benedetto finished in 1:13.39.

“As soon as we took the lead (about a mile in), they were right on our stern the entire time,” Bakey said of Fitzpatrick and Treffeisen. “It was competitive. They rode a killer race. Give it to them because it could’ve been theirs.”
The bay was smooth, more so than it Monday, when the race was initially scheduled before it was postponed, Bakey said.
“It was hard to read the current at any point. It was almost like guesswork,” Bakey said
Fitzpatrick and Treffeisen also gave credit to Klecko and Bakey for helping them row faster. Fitzpatrick and Treffeisen row this summer to honor the memory of lifeguard Norm Inferrera, who died last August while on duty.
They have “Norm” painted on their stern plate.
“It was a great race. Great competition,” Treffeisen said. “It’s a race that if you know the course a bit, then it helps quite a bit. We just had a minor mistake and Crest took the lead, but it was super fun. My partner killed it out there. I’m overall pumped about the whole race.”
Tuesday was the 30th edition of the event, which is a fundraiser for the fight against multiple sclerosis. The conditions were chilly, and many spectators wore long- sleeved shirts or sweatshirts.
That did not bother the rowers.
“The conditions were perfect,” Fitzpatrick said. “It was a little chilly, but the adrenaline burned it off. It was a beautiful race. It was a dogfight the entire race.”
Klecko and Bakey had a tough start, Klecko said. But he praised his patrol mate for “playing the direction with the wind and current.
“I questioned him now and then, but I trusted his judgment all together.”
Longport’s Sean Duffy and Mike McGrath were fourth (1:13.40). Avalon’s Gary Nagle and Dave Giulian were fifth (1:13.42).
“Cape May, Longport, Avalon and all those guys, they really pushed us in this race,” Klecko said. “We were able to play the game well and use a little bit of experience to our advantage and get a win.
“It feels so awesome to go back-to-back.
Bakey called winning the race again “surreal.”
“It’s an honor to win this race with this competition of a crowd twice in a row is really cool,” he added. “We have a lot of respect for a lot of people in this field.”
Other results
Former Ventnor lifeguards Tom Sher and Kevin Prendergast won the alumni division and were sixth overall in the doubles row (1:14:28). Longport’s Madelyn Fox and Emma Barnhart won the female division (1:18.21). Edward Leap and Graziella Banchiori were the mixed doubles winners (1:18.51).
Avalon’s Sean Geary was the overall paddleboard winner. He won the open prone paddleboard division in 53:10.
“It feels good to get another win for Avalon,” said Geary, 22, a 2018 Middle Township High School graduate.
“I’ve done this race a few times, and this is my first win. I kind of got going when I took the lead. I kept my distance and made the lead as big as I could.”
Grace Emig of Brigantine won the women’s 12-foot prone paddleboard (1:01) division and was the first female finisher overall.

RENDON, Texas — Crews are working to contain a fire that spread to homes near Rendon in southern Tarrant County, officials said Tuesday evening.
According to the Rendon Fire Department, crews were working a grass fire in the 5500 block of Jessica Lane that spread to structures nearby.
In an update around 8:30 p.m., the Tarrant County fire marshal said the blaze began in the kitchen of a home and that it quickly spread to other homes and structures due to the dry conditions.
So far, at least three homes have been destroyed and five other structures were damaged by flames. It's unclear what type of structures have been damaged.
Several agencies, including Fort Worth and Crowley fire departments, were reporting to the scene.

DALLAS COUNTY, Texas — Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced over Twitter he tested positive for COVID-19 Tuesday evening.
"I'm thankful a routine test caught this infection early and I'm asymptomatic at this point," Jenkins wrote.
Jenkins, 58, said he would be isolating at home and following public health guidelines. The Democratic politician added he would be working remotely until he can return to public duties.
"This positive test stresses the importance of relying on resources like tests to identify infections early and not spread the virus to others," he wrote. "I am fully vaccinated and have received both boosters, which best protect me from severe COVID."
Jenkins stressed the importance of someone knowing whether they have the virus or not, and that current variants of COVID-19 are highly contagious.
COVID-19 tests are available to order for free through covid.gov or can be purchased at local pharmacies or grocery stores. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county-judge-clay-jenkins-positive-covid/287-4a925e0a-c9a5-45f2-ad45-2da0961beef2 | 2022-07-27T01:58:06 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/dallas-county-judge-clay-jenkins-positive-covid/287-4a925e0a-c9a5-45f2-ad45-2da0961beef2 |
BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — Work hard and get ahead. It’s the American way.
But for a group of Black professional women, the workday ends with play.
“We are ready,” Jackie Coats says. “Double Dutch!”
The 58-year-old times her leap, then, jumps between two ropes spinning opposite directions at Central Park in Brooklyn Park.
“Go, grandma!” De’Vonna Pittman, another jumper, cheers.
This small, weekly, gathering of working women is a throwback to the childhoods of the participants, when jump roping double Dutch was a key social component of their growing up years.
“When I was younger, back in Milwaukee, we lived in the projects and that was just the pastime, we did double Dutch morning, noon, and evening,” Cassandra Coats-Payne, Jackie’s sister, says.
Today, Cassandra and Jackie both work as school administrative assistants, while De’Vonna owns and runs an emerging beauty products company.
“When I was growing up in Chicago, they taught us very young,” De’Vonna says. “So, 4, 5 years old, you’re jumping double Dutch and that’s all we did all day long. We would go until the streetlights came on.”
Like Cassandra and Jackie, Babette Buckner — owner of a Twin Cities construction company — learned to jump double Dutch as a girl in Milwaukee.
After a gap of 40 years, she picked it back up again in the Twin Cities.
“This is a better workout for me than being in a gym. Treadmill. Boring,” Babette says.
The women take turns, switching off between jumping and turning the brightly colored ropes.
Conversation is constant, but rarely work related.
“You jump double Dutch with someone, you instantly develop a different kind of relationship with them,” De’Vonna says. “We really didn't know each other until we started jumping double Dutch. And now I feel like these ladies are my sisters.”
On a recent Saturday morning, the “sisters” grew their family while jumping at the invitation of the Lakeview Terrace Farmers Market in Robbinsdale.
Jessica Turner was grocery shopping at the HyVee across the street, when she spotted the women between the jump ropes.
“I saw them jumping and I grew up jumping,” Jessica, another native of Chicago, said.
After a couple false starts, Jessica quickly found her rhythm, picking up where she left off as a child.
“Memory — muscle memory,” Babette declared.
Jessica, a school secretary, promised the other women she’d be back to jump again.
Before parting, she hugged her new friends.
“It came right back to me, and I got to meet some new ladies too,” she smiled.
Watching from a few feet away, Miles Peterson, a farmer’s market shopper, had the look of a man about to leap.
“Oh, I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about it,” he said. “I'm going to jump in.”
His first few attempts to keep up with the spinning ropes proved unsuccessful before Miles put together a few jumps in a row.
Babette cheered him on. “There you go, alright!” she shouted. “Okay, Miles, okay, Miles!”
Miles left the ropes having learned at least one thing. “Way harder than it looks,” he said.
Yet for De’Vonna and the other women, their favorite childhood game comes as naturally as skipping or riding a bike.
“I never get tired of jumping double Dutch. I can do this all night," De’Vonna says. “As long as my legs hold up, and they usually do.”
Double Dutch still reminds the working women to play.

Teachers at Lincoln Public Schools will soon get their hands on spiffy new laptops with boosted processing power, more storage and a longer battery life.
On Tuesday, the Lincoln Board of Education approved the $3.2 million purchase of 3,680 MacBook Air M1 laptops for all certificated staff.
About half of the cost will be covered by the Emergency Connectivity Fund, a $7.17 billion pool of federal dollars established during the pandemic that districts across the country can access.
LPS works off a six-year life cycle for teachers' laptops, which are the main devices they use in the classroom, at professional development meetings and doing work at home.
The district buys new staff computers every three years and the old ones are then either used for three more years in elementary and middle school computer labs or sold.

A 3-year-old laptop in good shape can go for about $400, while a 6-year-old laptop sells for about $150.
"The good news is, typically in that (three-year) timeframe, you do see these kinds of shifts where you're getting a much greater value bringing in something new and selling instead of staying with what you had," LPS Chief Technology Officer Kirk Langer said.
The new MacBook models — which cost $879 apiece — have 256 GB of storage, more than double what teachers have now. They will also for the first time use Apple's own CPU, which runs more seamlessly with the laptop's operating system.
An improved battery will also mean less charging time for teachers, Langer said.
"It will take them through the day," he said.
LPS is still evaluating whether elementary school labs still need the repurposed MacBooks, as Google Chromebooks — which all students have — can handle most of the computer science lessons at that level. Kindergarteners and first graders were the last students to get their own Chromebooks last fall.
About 500 of the repurposed Apple laptops are traditionally sent to middle schools and 1,100 to elementary school labs.
The Emergency Connectivity fund — originally created to help schools go virtual during the pandemic — will provide $400 toward each device. Districts don't have a set allocation from the federal fund but apply for reimbursement.
The district will go school by school distributing the new computers throughout the first semester, Langer said. | https://journalstar.com/news/local/education/lincoln-public-schools-equipping-teachers-with-3-680-new-more-efficient-laptops/article_1a8f97ba-2419-5101-9ed5-b3d0e1ae1eca.html | 2022-07-27T01:59:06 | 0 | https://journalstar.com/news/local/education/lincoln-public-schools-equipping-teachers-with-3-680-new-more-efficient-laptops/article_1a8f97ba-2419-5101-9ed5-b3d0e1ae1eca.html |

VALPARAISO — The City Council unanimously approved amending the city's American Rescue Plan Act spending plan to expand premium pay and increase funds allocated for consulting fees on Monday night.
Valparaiso was awarded just over $7.6 million in ARPA funds. The premium-pay ordinance approved in May, originally allocated $650,000 to all currently active full-time city employees who performed in-person work during the pandemic. In July, the city decided to extend premium pay to several employees who worked during the pandemic, but have since retired.
The addition of the retired employees will bring the total premium pay appropriation to $663,147.
Councilman Robert Cotton, D-2, said employees who quit, were fired or otherwise left the city without retiring, should also be eligible for premium pay.
The ARPA amendment approved by the council also increased the consultant-fee allocation. The original draft set aside $15,000 for consultant fees to help distribute the money, but the amendment sets aside $40,000.
The city has already approved an agreement with the Indianapolis-based KSM advisory, tax and audit firm for $20,000. An additional $10,000 will cover bills incurred after working with both Barns & Thornburg and Bakery Tilly.
City Attorney Patrick Lyp said the remaining $10,000 will give the city some leeway for any "post-distribution audit requirements." Lyp said he does not anticipate the city will spend all $40,000.
Cotton said he was concerned about the increase in consultant fees.
"I realize $40,000 is a lot of money. I'm not disregarding that, but when you look around the state and you look at other communities and the guidance we received; on average you should budget anywhere from 6 to 10% of an average grant for administration," Lyp said.
Council President Casey Schmidt, R-3, said working with consultants now will help the city follow the correct procedure "so we don't run into any problems down the road, which would essentially cost us a lot more money."

A 7-year-old girl was critically injured in a crash near Corona de Tucson on Tuesday morning.
Just after 8 a.m., deputies responded to a collision involving an SUV and a passenger car at West Sahuarita Road and East Sycamore Ridge Trail.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a Dodge Journey SUV was stopped at Sahuarita Road waiting to make a left turn on Sycamore Ridge when a Hyundai Elantra rear-ended the SUV, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
The Hyundai was occupied with three people, including two children in the back seat. One of the children, a 7-year-old girl, was taken to the hospital with critical injuries. The other occupants of the car and the two occupants from the SUV were also taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

One of the largest school districts in Pennsylvania, Central Bucks, has passed a controversial policy change that could lead to the removal of books from the schools' shelves.
The board of the Central Bucks School District voted in favor of the new policy 6-3 Tuesday night.
Opponents, including members of the ACLU, called it a “book ban” as they rallied in Doylestown Tuesday afternoon. But the Central Bucks School District said that’s not the true story.
The district said the new policy will give them a way to protect new books as they are added to the educational system. It would allow a reviewing process to occur if a parent or guardian objected to the content or images in the book.
“This policy is rooted in developing a process to prioritize age-appropriate content and material that is aligned with our curriculum and really expresses the diversity of our students experiences,” Central Bucks School District superintendent Dr. Abe Lucabaugh said.
Lucabaugh said if a book is removed, it will be replaced with a similar book covering the same topic.
Critics said it is a way to censor, and fear it targets certain populations. They are also concerned with who makes up the committee and how they are chosen.

James “Skip” Wilson, who led Temple baseball to a pair of College World Series appearances and 1,034 wins in 46 seasons as the program’s head coach, has died. He was 92.
Temple said Wilson’s daughter told the school he died Tuesday from complications from a stroke.
The all-time winningest coach in any sport at Temple, Wilson guided the Owls to 12 NCAA Tournaments and 12 conference championships during his tenure, from 1960 to 2005. He earned his 1,000th win on March 14, 2004, when the Owls defeated Manhattan 10-9 and he finished his career with a record of 1,034-824-27 (.556).
He led Temple to two College World Series appearances in 1972 (third place) and 1977 (eighth) and earned four more NCAA bids during the decade. The Owls won the Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1972 and 1973 and captured four straight East Coast Conference championships from 1975-1978.
Wilson made his last appearance in the NCAA Tournament following the 2001 season. After starting the year 0-14, the Owls went 24-14 the remainder of the regular season. The team won the Atlantic 10 and reached the NCAAs for the final time in his career.
He was inducted into the Temple Athletics Hall of Fame in 1981.
A Philadelphia native, Wilson had over 100 players sign professional contracts.

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — A convenience store robbery is being investigated as a homicide after the clerk was shot dead, South Fulton Police Department officers said Tuesday evening.
Officers said they found the clerk shot several times at the Quick Pick Food Mart along Welcome All Road, which is off Roosevelt Highway and down the street from a fire station.

Officers said they don't have any information about a suspect or how many people may have been involved. They did not release any other details and said they continue to investigate.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The autopsy for Landon Eastep, the 37-year-old man from Greene County who was shot and killed by multiple law enforcement officers on Interstate 65 in Nashville on Jan. 27, has been released.
According to Metro Nashville police, Eastep pulled a box cutter on a state trooper who stopped to help him on I-65. More police showed up and tried to negotiate with him.
Nine officers shot the 37-year-old when he pulled a “shiny silver cylindrical object” out of his pocket.
Six months later, the autopsy revealed Eastep was shot 12 times. Some of those wounds were on the front of his body. Others were at the back.
In February, Eastep’s wife, Chelesy, told News Channel 11’s sister station News 2 that a mental health professional should’ve been called to the scene within minutes.
“Within the first 10 minutes, somebody should have called crisis. Somebody should have had a professional out there who knew how to handle somebody that was going through a mental crisis. There were so many options that could have been taken, that weren’t. And to me, that’s unacceptable,” Chelesy Eastep explained. “I just feel like it was way too much. I feel like there were a bunch of steps that were skipped, and I feel like there is no reason for him to be dead today.”
Records showed that Eastep lived and worked in Greene County and had several previous run-ins with police. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/autopsy-reveals-man-killed-in-nashville-i-65-standoff-shot-12-times-by-officers/ | 2022-07-27T02:19:22 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/autopsy-reveals-man-killed-in-nashville-i-65-standoff-shot-12-times-by-officers/ |
What started as a kitchen fire led to a blaze that destroyed three homes in southeastern Tarrant County Tuesday evening, firefighters say.
In a series of tweets, the Rendon Fire Department said the fire was first reported in the 5500 block of Jessica Lane. Early reports from fire officials said eight to nine structures were involved in what was reported to be a grass fire.
Neighbors say embers from a kitchen fire spread to two other homes and ignited. In all, three houses were destroyed and several structures were damaged.
Hervey Duran said he watched from his home across the street as the flames spread. His house was not damaged, though he said it was a close call.
"By the time we got over here, the entire house was on fire in the span of 15 minutes and it got to where it is now. I don't know. I was pretty shook."
Fire crews faced extreme heat combined with water supply challenges.
"The heat is a big factor. It takes a toll on the firemen," said Randy Renois, Tarrant County Fire Marshal. "We have a little bit of water but we need more tankers. So, we're shuttling tankers. We've got four maybe five tankers out here now."

On Tuesday, homeowners in Balch Springs began to survey the damage inside the Spring Ridge neighborhood where a grass fire damaged 26 homes.
Nine of those homes are considered a total loss. On Tuesday morning, the fire chief said the fire damage totaled about $6,056,300.
Rev. Fred Jackson's home is one of them. He was running errands when his home of 12 years was engulfed, sparing only a single wall. Jackson, an associate pastor at Greater Golden Gate Baptist Church and bus driver for Wylie ISD, is working with the Red Cross for temporary housing so he can resume work when school starts.
"Just trying to get ready to go back and transport these kids so the quicker I can get back in a stable situation, the better," said Jackson, who returned to his home Tuesday.
“This is our real first good look at it in the daylight," said Monica McNeil whose home is on Bell Manor Court. It backs right up to the field that caught ablaze on Monday.
"We are absolutely beyond amazingly lucky, I mean look how close it is here, my neighbors on the other side it bubbled their paint," said McNeil who lost her fence.
The mother of two said they could see the flames jumping across the field and got dangerously close to their home. She described how a tree about 50 feet away burst into flames.

The latest news from around North Texas.
"You could hear the roar, I've been to bonfires and what not, I’ve never heard anything roar like that. I’ve never felt a heat like that," said McNeil.
The father of her two sons said their oldest son, Duwayne, called him about what was going on.
“It’s a call I never want to get again," said Michael McNeil. “He said, ‘Dad keep your ears up and your truck running. I said, 'What's going on?' He said a firetruck just came into the neighborhood and there’s a grass fire out behind the house.”
The two boys, their mother, dogs and two kids who had evacuated from a nearby home that also was damaged.
Balch Springs Fire Chief Eric Neal said it's believed to have started after a commercial mower hit rocks, throwing sparks that caught the grass on fire.
"It really was unexpected, but the way conditions were yesterday with the winds, of course, the high grass line in the back, pushing this way, it was a disaster waiting to happen," Neal said.
Neal along with the mayor, Carrie Gordon, surveyed the damage and spoke with residents in the neighborhood on Broadview Drive, one of the heavily hit areas.
"It's hard to see it. Then when you see citizens that have lost and they're looking over to the other side of what they once had, it's heart-wrenching," said Mayor Gordon. She said they're working to allocate resources to help neighbors for weeks to come.
Neighbors like Wanda Blanchett-Ware, whose home on Broadview Drive is a complete loss, said she wasn't home but saw the smoke while driving. As she got closer, she saw the flames were bigger than her home and rushed to get home, because her adult son who works night shifts was asleep.
Because first responders had blocked off the road, she had to go on foot.
"So I had to abandon my car, take off running to get here and beat on the window to get my son out because he was asleep and there was no way he would have been able to get out," said Blanchett-Ware.
Despite the long road ahead due to the damage, neighbors echo that they're glad there wasn't any loss of life.
“We’ve been here since 2003 and it’s a loss, but it’s not a big loss for me because I have my family," said Blanchett-Ware.
"If anybody didn't believe there was a God before yesterday my neighborhood proves that there is," said McNeil.

GREENSBORO — In any other election year, Greensboro residents would cast their votes for local municipal candidates in November, alongside statewide runners.
But this year, the election got pushed to July due to delays with getting new census data needed to update district lines.
The timing of the election wasn’t the only oddity for voters.
On Tuesday, voters dealt with high temperatures, rain and confusion over where to vote.
Voters had mixed reasons for casting a ballot Tuesday. Some were motivated to vote because of the five bond issues or to support their favorite for the City Council. Others came out because voting is something they always do.
Alva Clark went to Brown Recreation Center to vote both on the bond issues and council races.

Clark said she would like to see more infrastructure dedicated toward schools and housing, but she also came out to vote because it is her right.
“There have been too many people on either side that fought so I could have this privilege to vote,” Clark said. “As far as women's rights, as far as just being a Black woman in general, we fought really hard to get this opportunity and this right, so why not take advantage of it?”
But the most common thread amongst voters was a craving for change.
Venita Burwell went to Hemphill Branch Library to cast her vote. She said she feels like the real change comes not from the White House, but the City Council chairs.
“We are always looking at the big picture. … (N)ormally people only vote on the big election, for president, and things don’t change,” Burwell said. “If we never do anything to change what’s happening in town, then there’s never going to be a bigger change further out. It starts on the ground level before we get to the top.”
How many came people out to vote also varied.
Some locations like Brown Recreation Center saw a much higher voter turnout, with 84 ballots cast by half past noon. Other locations, like the N.C. A&T precinct, didn’t have much of a voter turnout at all.
San Jones, an election campaigner at the precinct, said she only saw a handful of people coming in to vote — and she had been standing outside since the polls opened at 6:30 a.m.
She said she worried the hard rains that blew through in the afternoon could make the numbers worse.
“I doubt very many will come now because of the rain," Jones said.
But even before the rain started, people were having a hard time casting votes.
Jones said she saw about four or five people turned away from the precinct because it wasn’t their assigned polling location.
“(One man) this was his fourth location he’s been to today,” Jones said. “Three other locations before he came here. And they, here, were able to tell him what his issue was and where to go to get it resolved.”
Election campaigners at Brown Recreation Center said they also saw this problem, with at least 10 to 12 people being turned away in the morning.
But one voter at the center, Tonga Ramseur, was turned away and told that she didn’t have another option to vote. She was told that she wasn’t allowed to vote, because the election is only for people who live within the city limits of Greensboro, and thus, the election “doesn’t affect her.” Ramseur lives in an unincorporated part of the county.
“But they do affect me,” she said. “I have a vegan food truck, and when I go out into the city it affects me. … We (those that live in the county limits) still live in Greensboro. We still work in Greensboro. We still purchase in Greensboro. We go to the stores, we buy from vendors. It affects me totally.”
Ramseur said even though she couldn’t vote Tuesday, issues like hers and the others that were turned away is why it is important to go out and do so. | https://greensboro.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/watch-now-rain-confusion-over-where-to-vote-affect-greensboro-city-elections/article_f52e7354-0d13-11ed-becb-f37f6ba6f96c.html | 2022-07-27T02:35:30 | 0 | https://greensboro.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/watch-now-rain-confusion-over-where-to-vote-affect-greensboro-city-elections/article_f52e7354-0d13-11ed-becb-f37f6ba6f96c.html |
LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — Chris Hess showed up for work at the Country Side Quik Mart near Hunlock Creek only to find a broken front door; the store had been hit by burglars.
"And they came by the first time, they had a bag with a brick in it, and they tried to smash in the window. It didn't work, so they came back and shot out the window," said Chris Hess, Country Side Quik Mart employee.
Hess says the store's surveillance video showed two people wearing black clothing and masks going in through the broken front door and ransacking the place.
"And they smashed out our other beer cooler, and they took about four thousand dollars worth of beer and vapes," said Hess.
A similar burglary also took place in Wyoming County, where the front door was shot in, and products like beer and e-cigarettes were also stolen.
The owner of the Noxen Food Mart, Vijy Patel, got a notification on his phone when the burglars broke in early Tuesday morning.
"I got a phone call from my alarm system, like around like 2:30 a.m. and then I got a phone call from the state trooper so I said 'Hey I live in Scranton, so I said I'll be there in like 45 minutes,' and they said 'ok,' and I am, and it's already done," said Vijy Patel, Noxen Food Mart Owner.
Vijy said the thieves got in by shooting through two doors. They made off with beer and e-cigarettes.
Surveillance pictures from the store in Noxen show one thief wearing a black hoodie and a mask. The second thief wore a ballcap. His face is also visible.
"I feel bad because this never happened in like twelve years. This is the first time it happen. Everybody in the town say the kids aren't in the town because I've never seen them before here," said Vijy.
Despite the similarities between the burglaries in Wyoming and Luzerne Counties, state police have not said if they believe the crimes are connected.

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — You can't win if you don't play, and when it comes to playing, some lottery hopefuls have a plan, and they stick to it.
Whenever Tawni Johnson of Pittston plays the lottery she buys her tickets here at Friendly Food Mart in West Pittston.
"I found $3 in a pair of jeans, put it away put it away, still didn't win, and I said, yeah, I gotta go play," said Tawni Johnson, Pittston.
"I used to have a strategy. I would play birthdays, different occasions. One time I had a strategy, but they don't work for me," said Jim McManus, Forty Fort.
Now Jim McManus leaves it up to chance. And with $830 million on the line, the odds of winning are quite slim, but that doesn't stop people from buying a ticket, or two, or more.
"People are buying like crazy. The people who never buy lottery, they're buying like 10 tickets every time, it's too much," said Neeta Solanki, Friendly Food Mart.
Neeta Solanki is a cashier at a friendly food mart. She says a large jackpot is good for business with customers often buying more than just tickets.
"So it helps us with selling other stuff too. Business is increasing like 10 percent," said Solanki.
And if one of her customers wins, the store will receive a bonus, also good news.
"I hope someone does, from my store I would love to see that," said Solanki.
For this jackpot, she too is buying a ticket. Two dollars, that could change a life, generations even, with just six numbers.
There are many ways to play but only one jackpot.

MARTELL, Calif. — The people of Amador County are taking a big hit after a fire at their lumber mill left dozens of employees without a job.
Fire crews were dispatched around noon Monday at the Ampine lumber mill. The Amador Fire Protection District said the fire is completely contained at this time, but as things settle down, there's a feeling of disbelief as employees wait to hear what's next for the company.
"It was, there was - other than just getting out of the building and just sort of just this panic - Oh my gosh, like, how this happened?" said Breanne Todd, a current employee at Ampine LLC.
Todd was coming back from her lunch Monday when she and her coworkers noticed a fire start inside the building. Amador Fire Protection District said employees tried to contain it, but it was just too much.
"We're just glad they all got out safely because we know... if you work here, part of your responsibilities are to be part of a moment's notice fire brigade and try to extinguish (it) even before we get here," said Chief Walt White, with the Amador Fire Protection District.
It's a loss not just for the employees but for their families and the entire community.
This business has been around for almost 50 years, and according to a spokesperson, it's the only particleboard manufacturing plant in California to his knowledge.
"This company is one of the major employers in the county, you know, like I said, 150 employees. I don't know if there's anyone here that doesn't know somebody that works directly for the company, so they're our friends as well," White said.
For Todd, whose personal car was caught in the line of fire, the important thing here is everyone made it out alive.
"We had no idea this was gonna happen yesterday, so as you can see it's doused in fire retardant and there's a little bit of damage to the tail lights, which obviously can be replaced. But I'm so fortunate even though it's kind of a mess. I feel so blessed that my vehicle did survive it," Todd said.
And as investigators work on determining the cause of the fire, she and her coworkers look to move forward.
"It was, it was shocking. One heck of a Monday, one heck of a Monday, I'll tell you. I'm glad it's over," said Todd.
ABC10 reached out to the company Tuesday afternoon. They said they have a team with their corporate office on the way to Ampine, and they will formulate a plan to move forward once they assess the damages.

Wildfire Preps
According to Cal Fire, the 2021 fire season started earlier than previous years, but also ended earlier, as well. January 2021 saw just under 1,200 acres burned from nearly 300 wildfires. Fires picked up in the summer when the Dixie Fire burned in five Northern California counties — Butte, Plumas, Shasta, Lassen and Tehama. The Dixie Fire started on July 13 and wasn't contained until Oct. 25, burning nearly 1 million acres. It has since become the second-largest wildfire in state history and the largest non-complex fire.
Overall, 2.5 million acres were burned in 2021 from 8,835 wildfires. Over 3,600 structures were destroyed and 3 people were killed.
If you live in a wildfire-prone zone, Cal Fire suggests creating a defensible space around your home. Defensible space is an area around a building in which vegetation and other debris are completely cleared. At least 100 feet is recommended.
The Department of Homeland Security suggests assembling an emergency kit that has important documents, N95 respirator masks, and supplies to grab with you if you’re forced to leave at a moment’s notice. The agency also suggests signing up for local warning system notifications and knowing your community’s evacuation plans best to prepare yourself and your family in cases of wildfires.
Some counties use Nixle alerts to update residents on severe weather, wildfires, and other news. To sign up, visit www.nixle.com or text your zip code to 888777 to start receiving alerts.
PG&E customers can also subscribe to alerts via text, email, or phone call. If you're a PG&E customer, visit the Profile & Alerts section of your account to register.

MARIPOSA COUNTY, Calif. — Favorable conditions are giving firefighters a better chance to make more progress on the Oak Fire in Mariposa County.
As water-dropping helicopters attack the fire from above, 94-year-old Ruth Clarke and 80-year-old Chuck Bunker are hunkered down in their pick-up truck waiting to return home.
"I want to get my cats and go home," said Ruth Clarke, who left her home in Lushwood Meadows.
"I want to get my cats and go home," she said.
The Mariposa Elementary School is serving as an evacuation center, the retired fashion model and flea market owner grabbed what they could when the fire started.
"We're waiting for the OK to go back in there. No telling if it will be there," Bunker said.
Bulldozers are being used to cut containment lines and a multitude of fire resources are coming in from across the state as crews make headway against the blaze.
"They've still been able to get some good containment lines in and bring this fight to the fire, and I think you're going to see, over the next few days, those (containment) percentages increase," said Captain Keith Wade with Sacramento Fire Department.
However, the fire still leaves behind a destructive path. 25 homes are destroyed, and wildlife has been chased off by the flames.
In addition, Mariposa County relies on more than 50% of their employment to tourism.
"When you start talking about a fire canceling people's travel plans or not coming to visit, it's massively impactive not just to business owners but to the people that live and work in this community," said Tony McDaniel, with the Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau.

Teen shot and killed on Detroit street; suspects held
A teen was shot and killed in Detroit on Tuesday evening, in another round of "senseless violence" besieging cities in the U.S., the police chief said.
The suspects were in custody, police said, as investigators from the 4th Precinct combed the scene near Homer and Mullane streets.
"... We get here, shots fired, we find our victim, who was 14 or 15 — we're still trying to get clarity on that," Detroit police Chief James White said.
The victim, who was not identified, died at a hospital, he said.
"Sadly, we've got a young person once again in the city who has been shot senselessly on the streets in the middle of summer," White said. "So, no words, obviously, for the family ...
"Everyone's got a gun and everybody wants to use it," White said. "And now we've got another dead child. ...We're running down exactly what happened."
At last two of the shooters were teenagers who shot multiple times. One bullet fatally struck the victim, White said.
"There are no comforting words you can keep making when people are committing senseless violence in our community. We do great work getting them off the street, but we don't want to have to get them off the street. We want them to stop ...," White said. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2022/07/26/teen-shot-and-killed-detroit-street-suspects-held/10159667002/ | 2022-07-27T02:56:21 | 1 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2022/07/26/teen-shot-and-killed-detroit-street-suspects-held/10159667002/ |

BOTHELL, Wash. — Their love story took flight years ago, but it was cemented on a Bothell street.
The small plane Allen Kang and his fiancée Rosseana Morales were traveling in crash-landed after losing its engine on July 20 in Bothell.
"The engine was gone," said Kang, who was piloting the experimental plane.
"The prop was at a dead stop," added Morales, who was in the cockpit with him.
It all started as the couple flew their plane home from Tacoma to Everett after visiting friends.
When the engine died, the plane started plummeting.
"At first I did get a (gasp), like this is scary," said Morales, who has a background in aviation. "I just remember telling Allen that this is what you've trained for. 'I love you, just glide. Let's find the best place to land.'"
Paine Field was still about 10 miles away and Interstate 5 was packed with cars.
It was dark.
The next best option was 228th Street Southeast - a busy Bothell arterial road in the daytime but not so much at night.
So, surrounded by streets and subdivisions filled with hundreds of houses, Kang made the decision to put the plane down.
"What's running through my head is the interstate is busy and I'm not taking anyone with me. It's us and no one else," said Kang, who has been flying for six years.
They clipped some powerlines but ended up with just minor injuries.
"I see him as my hero, to be honest," said Morales. "He is a hero that saved so many lives that night. I think it made our relationship a lot stronger."
So strong, just 5 days later the couple got married on the beach in Steilacoom.
They were already engaged and planned to tie the knot about a year from now, but after walking away from a plane crash together...why wait another minute?
"At the end of it, we were just like, we just survived the worst thing possible that anyone could experience. Let's do this," the couple quipped.
Now, pilot and co-pilot begin life as husband and wife; the ultimate wedding crashers.
"It's a very scary moment but one that helped me cherish my life more and cherish our relationship together," said the newly named Rosseana Kang.
"I can't imagine if I was alone what I would do," added her husband. "I was lucky to have her there."
The NTSB and FAA are still investigating the cause of the engine failure.
There is a GoFundMe to help with the couple's medical bills. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/bothell-plane-crash-survivors-marry/281-38866ebe-ae00-4360-9cc1-e9475ac9831a | 2022-07-27T02:58:01 | 0 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/bothell-plane-crash-survivors-marry/281-38866ebe-ae00-4360-9cc1-e9475ac9831a |
SEATTLE — This week’s heat can feel different depending on where you live.
King County says that is leading to inequity in some low-income communities and communities of color. The county is working to develop its first-ever extreme heat mitigation strategy, and it will address the impact of heat inequities.
Shizuno Wynkoop is the manager at Resistencia Coffee in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood. She said hot days make the neighborhood stand out.
"I mean, it's always a little hotter in South Park than anywhere in the rest of the city, especially because of all the pavement,” said Wynkoop. "It's like a section of 99, Highway 99, that cuts through right to the middle of South Park".
Lots of concrete and a lack of trees are why it heats up more in the neighborhood according to Wynkoop.
Lara Whitely Binder, King County’s Climate Preparedness Program Manager, first explained the problem to KING 5 last year. King County conducted a heat mapping project. On a July day, drivers set out on 15 pre-determined routes at the same time, collecting temperature data and discovering that it can be a more than 20-degree difference depending on your zip code.
"We were expecting to see the urban heat island effect. I think we were surprised to see how large the temperature difference was,” Whitely Binder said in August of 2021.
"We still do have many low-income residents that live in South Park,” said Wynkoop.
Whitely Binder said heat disparity is having an impact on low-income communities and communities of color.
"There's not a lot of air conditioning down here so people have a lot of small window units,” said Wynkoop. "If King County wanted to kind of move forward with creating some initiatives to help communities such as South Park to have more green space, fresher air, less concrete, that would be amazing."
The county reports that last year’s heat wave killed more than 30 people in King County alone.
As the county develops its extreme heat mitigation strategy, the county is working with a task force to ensure the strategy is equitable. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/king-county-developing-plan-address-inequitable-impact-heat/281-35759761-3b85-4668-8fb7-6abebd69f571 | 2022-07-27T02:58:08 | 1 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/king-county-developing-plan-address-inequitable-impact-heat/281-35759761-3b85-4668-8fb7-6abebd69f571 |
MIRRORMONT, Wash. — King County Executive Dow Constantine announced a new Wildfire Risk Reduction Strategy Tuesday, recommending actions to prevent wildfires, prepare responses for when they do occur and engage in forest recovery techniques when they are complete.
The County began working on the strategy while completing its 2020 Strategic Climate Action Plan, and several leaders noted the connection between climate change and wildfire threats in the wildland-urban interface, or the area where the wilderness and developed land meet.
"As King County encounters hotter, drier summers as the result of climate change, there is a greater potential for devastating fires in communities like this one," King County Executive Dow Constantine said.
The Washington Department of Natural Resources' most recent maps significantly expand the wildland-urban interface in King County - putting about 15% of King County's population in a wildland-urban interface area, meaning those places are at greater risk when wildfires do occur.
King County says firefighters responded to more than 700 brushfires in the summer of 2021. Eastside Fire and Rescue says nearly all of its firefighters are now wildland-certified, and their personal protective equipment now includes wildfire-specific tools.
Strengthening emergency response is also a cornerstone of the plan, along with enhancing community evacuation protocols and making sure they keep up with population growth.
"That growth, coupled with the impacts of climate change, the hotter drier days, that's placing the need for wildfire preparedness and prevention at the doorstops of many of our community partners," Eastside Fire and Rescue Assistant Chief Ben Lane said.
An additional and major component of the plan is working toward forest resilience, aiming to empower a diversity of tree species in different development stages.
King County says while large-scale forest thinning and prescribed burns are common tactics throughout much of the Western United States, their experts believe those actions are not the most effective or feasible in western Washington forests.
Applying those tactics here would fundamentally alter the dense, complex structure of westside forests and adversely affect ecological functions. Vegetation recovers quickly in the central Puget Sound region, so any risk reduction would be short-lived.
King County's strategy recommends targeted fuel reduction around critical infrastructure and homes where it can reduce the potential for damage, particularly from smaller fires. Removing and controlling the spread of invasive plant species – some of which are particularly flammable – can further reduce wildfire risks, particularly in areas that are at high risk for ignition such as roadways.

KILLEEN, Texas — On Tuesday, the Killeen City Council unanimously voted against an ordinance that would've decriminalized low levels of marijuana possession.
During a public hearing held that night, council members reasoned against the ordinance because they would rather have Killeen voters decide whether or not to adopt it. As a result, the ordinance is headed to the November ballot.
The ordinance was brought on by a petition that was started by the Ground Game Texas. If adopted, the Killeen Police Department would decriminalize misdemeanor marijuana possession, which is less than 4 ounces. If passed, it would also prevent police from using the odor of marijuana as probable cause for a search and seizure.
A similar ordinance is being discussed in Harker Heights Tuesday night, as well.

The city can secure the future home of the fire station that serves the Waynedale area after City Council members approved Tuesday the purchase of land on Lower Huntington Road.
Fire Station 5 sits on less than an acre at 5801 Bluffton Road, said Chris Carmichael, the city’s property manager. The city has found an ideal location at 2000 Lower Huntington Road, he said, but it needed the Redevelopment Commission’s help to buy it.
The city is unable to buy land priced higher than the average of two appraisals, but the Redevelopment Commission can. The commission members recently approved the request.
The appraisals for the property were $110,000 and $120,000. Carmichael said Ron Stone of Adams Radio Real Properties LLC initially listed the property for $250,000 but agreed to reduce the price to $150,000 for the city. “We feel it’s a fair compromise,” Carmichael said.
Building a new home for Fire Station 5 will allow the city to update a station that has been operating since the mid-1960s, Carmichael said. The move is also expected to reduce response times.
“It will allow us to update the facilities for our firefighters and put us in a better position to service the fire zone on the whole,” Carmichael said.
The property is 7.5 acres, and Carmichael said the fire department will likely need about two acres. The land the fire department doesn’t use could be utilized by the redevelopment department or other city operations.
City Council members approved the purchase unanimously. Councilman Russ Jehl, R-2nd, was absent.
Fire Station 5 isn’t the only city firehouse that is getting a new home. In September, City Council members approved the purchase of land at 4820 E. State Blvd to replace Fire Station 14, currently located at 3400 Reed Road.
The new Fire Station 14 was estimated to cost $2.3 million, the fire department announced about a year ago. However, a construction contract for $4.3 million was introduced Tuesday and will be considered by members at an upcoming meeting. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/city-approves-lower-huntington-road-property-for-fire-station/article_86a43ad4-0d42-11ed-979a-87bdc5d0b652.html | 2022-07-27T03:13:24 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/city-approves-lower-huntington-road-property-for-fire-station/article_86a43ad4-0d42-11ed-979a-87bdc5d0b652.html |
The New Haven Police Department issued a statewide Silver Alert on Tuesday evening as it investigates the disappearance of a local teen who has been missing for three days and is believed to be in danger.
A news release said the missing youth was 14-year-old Lillian Englehart. She was last seen in New Haven at 12:15 a.m. Sunday.
A white female, she is 5 feet tall and 110 pounds, with black hair with brown eyes. At the time she went missing, she was wearing black-rimmed glasses and a hooded sweatshirt.
The news release said she was believed to be in extreme danger and may require medical assistance.
Anyone with information on the teen should contact the New Haven Police Department at 260-748-7080 or 911. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/silver-alert-issued-for-new-haven-teen/article_0bff8caa-0d3f-11ed-bcd9-6b9ee6bb89e9.html | 2022-07-27T03:13:24 | 1 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/silver-alert-issued-for-new-haven-teen/article_0bff8caa-0d3f-11ed-bcd9-6b9ee6bb89e9.html |
Amid city debate over police surveillance, can a quick arrest in one murder change minds?
The July 6 slaying of Shaheim Carr was, in the words of one of the most experienced cops on the York City Police force, perhaps the worst shooting the department had ever dealt with. Four gunmen opened fire on Carr as he walked out of his house near Philadelphia and Newberry streets and chased him into a narrow breezeway. They fired nearly 100 shots, then piled back into a car and drove away.
But out of that low point in a county that has already seen as many homicides this year as it saw in all of last year emerged a bright spot for investigators.
Using footage from more than 30 surveillance cameras operated by residents and businesses, police quickly tracked one suspect, Jaquez Brown, back to his girlfriend's house where they arrested him without incident.
The other three shooters remain at large, but the arrest of Brown led police to a stockpile of weapons and cash and revealed an operation to convert semiautomatic weapons into fully automatic weapons.
The use of the cameras was a breakthrough for a police department and city administration that has pleaded with people to share footage that can help lead to arrests. The city has offered to install cameras at the homes of senior citizens and set up a registry for people who are willing to share video.
But some community leaders, including the local chapter of the NAACP and the state chapter of the ACLU, have criticized the sharing of such footage with police, saying this could lead to an invasion of privacy, inappropriate monitoring of people who are not breaking the law, and racial profiling. Some people feared the department's surveillance program could cause more harm than good.

In the wake of Brown's arrest, many started to discuss the importance of cameras, with some changing their views about the registry form.
The goal of the camera registry program is to deter crime and promote public safety through collaboration between the police department and the community.
"Video speaks a thousand words," York City Police Lt. Daniel Lentz said when asked about the role the camera footage played in Brown's arrest. "You can take a witness testimony, you can take the evidence at the scene but when you see it for certain on video it's pretty compelling. The video is important."
The police department does not intend to share the footage with the public or the media.
The form only tracks:
- Who is registering
- Camera's location
- Camera details such as the number of cameras, the make and model, and the coverage area.
- A summary of the camera's capabilities or setup.
Registering your camera will not grant police access to footage. They still have to ask permission to view it.
York County homicides:Record tied for 2021 cases. Here's where the investigations stand
In discussions on the Fixing York PA Facebook group, a number of people shared what they thought about the registry form and cameras overall.
Resident William Padilla said that cameras offer extra security.
"I have cameras and lights all the way around my house! I think everyone should have at least 1 camera," Padilla wrote.
However, a couple of residents were not sure about residents providing police camera footage.
Ashley Jennings questioned the effectiveness of cameras.
"Why was only one suspect out of four found?" she wrote. "If we have said surveillance footage of four suspects, why don’t they plaster their pictures like they do with any other crime for the public to identify them?"
Another commenter said the community should not do the work for officers.
"We have a good community here," said Lentz. "When a homicide happens, people want justice. So if they have footage, they will most likely offer it. We try to be delicate as much as we can with the information we receive because we don't there to be any type of imitation toward them."
"We respect whoever gives us information and try to do everything we can legally to try to keep things confidential. If we don't have to give that information up, we don't give it up."

She stood in a three-hour line for medicine for her son. That's when the explosions began.
Antonina 'Tonya' Kovalenko didn't think twice before packing her bags and fleeing Ukraine with her son, Oleksandr 'Sasha' Kovalenko, 12, and their cat, Zosia.
Before the war, Kovalenko said, she had a job as a reception administrator at a dental clinic in Kyiv, an apartment and she was surrounded by friends and family.
But that all changed when Russia invaded Ukraine in February.
"How is it possible in the 21st century for there to be war?" she said.
She first learned about the Russian invasion after turning on the TV. Every channel was reporting that the war had started.
"My son couldn't believe it would last more than three days," Kovalenko said. "I couldn't understand what was happening, but I knew I had to pack what was most important to my son and me."
When she went outside her apartment, she saw that people were panicking and there were long lines at pharmacies.
"People stocked up on everything they thought was necessary," Kovalenko said. "I stood for three hours in line to buy medicine for my son."
Ukraine:New Freedom-area residents come together for a cause
While she was standing in line, she heard explosions nearby.
"And I saw planes flying overhead, I didn't know whether they were our planes or not," she said.
As a mother, Kovalenko fears for her child's safety and she wants the war to end as soon as possible so she can get her life back.
"Ukrainians have the right to live on their land," she said. "My request is for people to listen to us and understand that we have a war there."
And George Hay Kain III heard her call for help.
After Kovalenko and her son left Kyiv, Ukraine, she arrived in Poland. That's when she reached out to Kain, their sponsor through the Facebook group Helping Ukrainian refugees in the USA.
Wondering how you can help the people of Ukraine? Look no further.
After learning about her story, Kain agreed to sponsor them at his farm near Emigsville. Kovalenko said the moment they hopped on a plane in Poland headed to New York, she felt at peace but was also concerned about what lay ahead.
"There was fear about how life will be in another country," she said. "How will I be able to communicate? Since this is a new country, people have their own views, own culture and I will have to learn and understand it."
Tonya is a big city girl and was surprised to know that without a car here, you can't go anywhere.
"In Kyiv, you are able to find transportation easily," she said. "We always walked a lot during the day."
Kain said Sasha told him that cars in America are big compared to Ukraine.
"And that we have real peanuts in our peanut butter," Kain said.

During World War II, Kain said his father was an Army attorney, and in July of 1945, he was posted in Germany to start preparing cases against the Nazis that were involved in the Buchenwald prison camp.
"He quickly became aware that there were good Germans who tried to help the Jews and bad Germans who ignored the problem and allowed for terrible things to happen," he said.
Kain said he grew up in a family that was motivated to try to help people who were being abandoned or ignored by the rest of the world.
"When the situation in Ukraine developed, it seemed like an ideal opportunity to put my money where my mouth was," he said.
Kovalenko said she is very grateful for America and for the help she has received.
"And I hope I can return to my home country soon," she said.

As it stands now, there will be no universal masking requirements at Lincoln Public Schools when students return next month.
Superintendent Paul Gausman announced Tuesday that LPS will use a "targeted model" to start the school year, meaning decisions on masking will be made building by building.
The first day of school for LPS students is Aug. 15.
There is no specific threshold in COVID-19 case numbers or staffing that officials use when requiring masks or closing a classroom, program or building, said Director of Communications Mindy Burbach. Rather, LPS works with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department to examine each outbreak individually.
It's the same framework LPS used in the fourth quarter last year when the district required masks at Eastridge and Zeman elementary schools following outbreaks there.

Gausman, in closing remarks at his first Lincoln Board of Education meeting as superintendent, said the masking question is the issue he hears the most about from parents and staff. He says the district's goal is to keep schools open while following the science and data.
"This is not something that should be political," he said. "I want you to know that we have guiding priorities for this challenge. We aren't going to make a decision based on the passion of an email."
The Health Department reported 633 cases for the week that ended Saturday, down slightly from the previous week.
LPS is expected to release more details on its pandemic procedures for the 2022-23 school year later this week. | https://journalstar.com/news/local/education/lps-will-not-require-masks-to-begin-school-year-but-will-use-targeted-philosophy/article_6cdbf553-64c2-5c73-b2b4-3bc1899e76a1.html | 2022-07-27T03:33:04 | 1 | https://journalstar.com/news/local/education/lps-will-not-require-masks-to-begin-school-year-but-will-use-targeted-philosophy/article_6cdbf553-64c2-5c73-b2b4-3bc1899e76a1.html |
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas — "I read you loud and clear."
That phrase was heard multiple times inside Richland High School Tuesday afternoon.
North Richland Hills Police Chief Jimmy Perdue, the city's fire marshal and another officer patrolled the hallways radioing dispatch every now and then to ensure a signal could get out clearly.
The reason is simple: Perdue wants to ensure officers can communicate effectively during an emergency or active shooter situation.
Perdue hopes to avoid a lack of communication and coordination, as seen during the Uvalde school shooting as officers arrived.
"Something as simple as 'can you hear me?' now becomes so much more critical whenever you're in the middle of an incident," Perdue said.
The police response on the day a gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde has been heavily criticized. After starting a killing spree that resulted in 19 children and two teachers dead, arriving officers struggled to communicate, coordinate and understand who was in charge.
The district's police chief during the incident, Pete Arredondo, is now suspended and recommended for termination.
Recently released body camera footage shows arriving agencies asking who is in charge and who is communicating orders.
Multiple reports say officers had issues with their radios working correctly inside the elementary school.
According to the Texas House committee's investigative report into the incident, an officer said over a police radio, “[I]t is critical for everybody to let PD take point on this.”
Still, none of the law enforcement officers that the House investigators interviewed “indicated any knowledge of this communication or what it meant by ‘PD’ taking ‘point on this,’” the report reads.
Arredondo didn't bring his radio during the response.
In an interview with The Texas Tribune, Arredondo said he had previous experience with radios not working in some school buildings, which factored into his decision to leave his behind. He also thought it would get in the way as he ran into the school.
The report also listed how an effective incident commander outside the school might have helped by noticing that radios weren’t working well and finding a better way to communicate.
Perdue traveled to Uvalde to assist departments in the aftermath. He's also the president of the Texas Police Chiefs Association.
"We saw an issue with the radios occurring in Uvalde where officers were having struggles to communicate out and with each other," Perdue said.
The City of North Richland Hills operates under the recommendations of the International Fire Code.
Those recommendations say an annual test of police radios within high-risk targets like schools, hospitals, hotels, police or fire stations should be done to ensure first responders can communicate effectively during an emergency.
The police department and fire marshal run those checks two times a year to be safe.
The fire marshal and an officer do checks with a dispatcher in a grid pattern throughout the school.
The goal is 95% radio coverage, which isn't always easy to achieve.
Perdue said there are a lot of dead zones within schools where it's challenging to get a radio signal out due to the amount of cinder block and construction materials used.
If a signal is weak, the department can ask Birdville ISD to install a distributed antenna system that helps boost the signal.
It's happened before, and one was installed inside a middle school when coverage wasn't good.
"If you don't have these tests done, the implications can be very devastating," Perdue said.
Perdue said as president of the Texas Police Chiefs Association, more department heads are telling him they're talking security more than before with their local school districts.
If they aren't checking their radios, Perdue said they should as school gets ready to begin soon. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/do-police-radios-work-properly-inside-your-school-districts-should-check/287-17c4e80a-88d5-4fff-8809-c7edad50d2d8 | 2022-07-27T03:37:41 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/do-police-radios-work-properly-inside-your-school-districts-should-check/287-17c4e80a-88d5-4fff-8809-c7edad50d2d8 |
GARY — The Lake County coroner's office on Tuesday released the names of two people killed recently in the city.
De Shonda Lewis, 42, was found shot to death Saturday in the driver's seat of a vehicle parked outside her residence in the 400 block of Jackson Street, officials said.
Police responded about 9 p.m. to a report of shots fired and found Lewis inside a car with bullet holes in the driver's side door.
Gary firefighters helped officers get into the car, where Lewis was found to be unresponsive, police said.
The shooting was believed to be isolated, Cmdr. Jack Hamady said.
Corey D. Lackey, 36, was found shot to death July 14 inside his residence near 21st Avenue and Grant Street, a coroner's release said.
Police responded to the location for a report of a gunshot victim. Lackey was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

DALLAS — Filmmaker and North Texan Shezad Manjee had made it through security and was heading for his gate at Dallas Love Field Monday morning.
He had almost an hour before his flight to Chicago was due to take off.
He was looking down at his phone.
And then suddenly he was in the midst of a mob being pushed into a women’s bathroom in the terminal.
He heard someone say, “active shooter.”
At first, Manjee wanted to hide in the stall that was furthest from the door.
But he remembers hearing his own voice in his head telling him he needed to protect other people.
So, he grabbed an oversized trash can and laid it flat on the floor “to make sure that whoever would try to come in would have a hard time.”
Manjee was far from the ticket counter, where suspected shooter Portia Odufuwa had fired her gun.
Passenger Tiffany James, who had just arrived at Love Field to check in for a flight to New Orleans, was only feet away.
Odufuwa first shot at the ceiling.
Then police say she fired at Dallas police officer Ronald Cronin and an innocent bystander.
Cronin fired back, taking down Odufuwa moments after she started shooting.
But moments felt like long minutes for James and others who huddled together and hid behind small kiosks and suitcases.
“We hit the floor,” James said.
She and her husband eventually ran – leaving behind her shoes and all her belongings.

Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia praised Cronin and his fellow officers for the heroism they displayed.
“We can do all the training in the world to prepare for these type of events, but what it comes down to in the end is sheer bravery and courage,” he said.
Licensed counselor Leigh Richardson, founder of the Brain Performance Center, said anyone at Love Field when the shooting and subsequent evacuation happened is likely experiencing trauma.
“Emotional trauma lives at the subconscious level,” she explained. “People will say they don’t want to think about it or they’re never going to think about it, but they will because it will work its way back up.”
Talking or journaling about it is a good way to work through it, she suggested.
While James heard and saw the shots, Manjee was removed from it.
“Just because you didn’t witness it does not mean that you did not have the same traumatic impact,” Richardson said.
“Sometimes the uncertainty – like what’s causing this stampede – sometimes that adds a whole other layer of fear.”
After Manjee landed in Chicago Monday night, he admitted he hadn’t processed all that happened but he also hadn’t stopped thinking about it.
“I was thanking God that my four-year-old son wasn’t with me,” he said. “Next week we’re on a family vacation and he’d be with us.” | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/heroism-trauma-dallas-love-field-surveillance-body-camera-video-shooting/287-7ec2a915-f7e1-427c-b32a-0bbb451194c1 | 2022-07-27T03:37:47 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/heroism-trauma-dallas-love-field-surveillance-body-camera-video-shooting/287-7ec2a915-f7e1-427c-b32a-0bbb451194c1 |

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and more than 20 other Republican attorneys general filed a lawsuit Tuesday against President Joe Biden's administration over a Department of Agriculture school meal program that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Rokita said he's co-leading the 22-state lawsuit with Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery. The lawsuit claims that the federal government is attempting to force states and schools to follow antidiscrimination requirements that "misconstrue the law."
"They've [the Biden administration] reached a new level of shamelessness with this ploy of holding up food assistance for low-income kids unless schools do the Left’s bidding," Rokita said.
The coalition of attorneys general are hoping for a similar result to a separate challenge from earlier this month when a Tennessee judge temporarily barred two federal agencies from enforcing directives issued by Biden's administration that extended protections for LGBTQ people in schools and workplaces.
The judge sided with the attorneys general, ruling that the directives infringed on states' right to enact laws, such as banning students from participating in sports based on their gender identity or requiring schools and businesses to provide bathrooms and showers to accommodate transgender people.
“We are fighting for Hoosier common sense and the rule of law wherever they come under challenge,” Rokita said. “And we will continue doing the work that the people of Indiana elected us to do.”
In May, the USDA announced that it would include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as a violation of Title IX, the sweeping 1972 law that guarantees equity between the sexes in "any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." The directive requires states to review allegations of discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as update their policies and signage.
"This case is, yet again, about a federal agency trying to change law, which is Congress' exclusive prerogative," Slatery said in a statement. "The USDA simply does not have that authority. We have successfully challenged the Biden Administration's other attempts to rewrite law and we will challenge this as well."
The agency warned that states and schools that receive federal funds, which include the national school lunch program overseen by the USDA, have agreed to follow civil rights laws. Although the agency says it wants voluntary compliance, it also has promised to refer violations to the Department of Justice. It is not clear whether the federal government would hold back funding for school meal programs as part of its enforcement.
The directive followed a landmark civil rights decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2020 that, under a provision called Title VII, protects gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination in the workplace.
According to the lawsuit, the attorneys general allege that the USDA's new directive is based on a "misreading" of the Supreme Court's ruling and did not provide states and other groups the opportunity to provide public comment.
"The Biden administration’s actions will inevitably result in regulatory chaos that threatens essential nutritional services to some of Indiana’s most vulnerable citizens," Rokita claimed in a statement.
The attorneys general involved in the lawsuit filed Tuesday are from Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
According to Rokita, the National School Lunch Program services nearly 30 million schoolchildren each day, many who rely on it for breakfast, lunch, or both. Approximately 100,000 public and non-profit private schools and residential childcare institutions receive federal funding to provide subsidized free or reduced-price meals for qualifying children.
A spokesperson for the USDA did not immediately return a request for comment. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indiana/indiana-attorney-general-todd-rokita-multi-state-lawsuit-against-us-agency-lgbtq-school-guidance/531-c471d318-7b92-4d85-ad13-832f5e50a78c | 2022-07-27T03:39:04 | 0 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indiana/indiana-attorney-general-todd-rokita-multi-state-lawsuit-against-us-agency-lgbtq-school-guidance/531-c471d318-7b92-4d85-ad13-832f5e50a78c |
BUTLER COUNTY, Ohio — A medical helicopter responding to the scene of a fatal accident in southwestern Ohio crashed early Tuesday when it hit power lines, but no one aboard the aircraft was seriously injured, authorities said.
Three crew members were in the CareFlight helicopter, en route to a two-vehicle accident involving two pickup trucks that occurred around 4:15 a.m. in Milford Township, according to the Butler County Sheriff's Office. The aircraft was approaching the scene when it crashed into the power lines and went down.
According to a statement issued by CareFlight, no patients were in the aircraft, which was being operated by Air Methods, and the crew members were able to safely exit the helicopter. The cause of the crash will be investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Butler County Chief Deputy Anthony Dwyer told WXIX-TV that one crew member suffered "an unknown injury" and was taken to a hospital. The other two crew members were treated at the scene for minor injuries, and authorities said all three were expected to fully recover. Their names have not been released.
Authorities said a 69-year-old woman from Richmond, Indiana, was pronounced dead at the scene of the vehicle accident. A 43-year-old woman was also hospitalized with serious injuries and two other people were being treated for undisclosed minor injuries. The cause of the accident remains under investigation. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indiana/ohio-medical-helicopter-crashes-while-en-route-to-fatal-crash-that-killed-richmond-indiana-woman/531-551bc08b-ce81-4a4c-a520-2a639e71cb5f | 2022-07-27T03:39:10 | 1 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indiana/ohio-medical-helicopter-crashes-while-en-route-to-fatal-crash-that-killed-richmond-indiana-woman/531-551bc08b-ce81-4a4c-a520-2a639e71cb5f |
You can't win if you don't play — and the state also doesn't win if you don't play.
The Mega Millions jackpot reached a whopping $830 million, the third-largest prize in the game's history. And it has sparked a surge of ticket sales.
In New Jersey, tickets were selling at a rate of 1,700 a minute Tuesday afternoon. The rate was even faster in Connecticut, where 1,800 tickets were being sold every 60 seconds.
With odds of hitting the big jackpot going off at 302 million to one, the chances of matching all the numbers are simply astronomical. However, for the tri-state, just buying a ticket does help fund state programs that many people rely on. According to the Mega Millions website, half the proceeds from the sale of each ticket "remains in the state where the ticket was sold, where the money supports lottery beneficiaries and retailer commissions."
In New York, 35 cents of each dollar spent on lottery games goes to education, and all lottery profit goes to k-12 schools in the state.
For each $2 Mega Millions ticket sold in New Jersey, $1 goes directly toward prizes. The rest is divided up, with 20 cents going to retailers fees/overhead, and the other 80 cents goes to the state, according to the Lottery Enterprise Contribution Act passed in 2017. From there, the 80 cents is used to bolster the state's pension program, as the money provides financial stability and potential growth for the retirement system until 2047.
All lottery proceeds in the Garden State go into helping fund the pensions for retired public employees, including teachers, police, and firefighters, along with state, county and local workers, the law states.
Thus far in 2022, the lottery generated more than $1 billion for the state of New Jersey.
Connecticut divides up the prize money different as well, with the largest chunk of change (62 percent) going to prizes. The second-biggest portion (28 percent) goes to payments for state funds like health and human services, education, retired and active employee benefits, transportation, debt service and more.
Selling a winning Mega Millions ticket is also a boon for the business where the ticket was sold, as they get commission as well. In New York, that commission is $10,000 — a nice sum, but it far lowest in the tri-state. New Jersey businesses get $30,000 for selling a winning ticket, while Connecticut businesses get a cool $100,000.
The massive prize is for a winner who takes an annuity option, paid out in 30 annual payments. Most players choose the cash option, 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 lives.
A spokeswoman for the Ohio Lottery Commission said the jackpot likely would top $1 billion for Friday's drawing if no tickets hit the jackpot Tuesday.
The current Mega Millions record is $1.536 billion, sold in Oct. 2018. Tuesday's jackpot will be the nation's fourth biggest lottery prize overall. Powerball holds the U.S. record for a jackpot worth $1.586 billion shared among three winning tickets on Jan. 13, 2016. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/ahead-of-830m-mega-millions-jackpot-what-exactly-do-tri-state-ticket-sales-fund/3795979/ | 2022-07-27T03:42:09 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/ahead-of-830m-mega-millions-jackpot-what-exactly-do-tri-state-ticket-sales-fund/3795979/ |
