More than 80 artists will participate in the fair this year, exhibiting artwork that will be available for purchase. It will also have live music, food vendors and family activities.

On Sunday, Aug. 7, the fun times continue with Alexis Bratsakis, Mike Owens, Leann Stutler, and closes with Captain Ambivalent. A complete schedule is located on our website."

A bicyclist has died after he collided with a truck on Tucson’s east side Tuesday morning. On July 26, Adam Boehme, 17, was riding his electric-powered bicycle westbound in the eastbound bicycle lane of East 22nd Street when he struck a blue 2018 Peterbilt 330 flatbed truck that was exiting a private drive on the south side of East 22nd Street, Tucson police said. Boehme was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Despite life-saving efforts, Boehme was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The driver immediately stopped after the collision and cooperated with the investigation. The driver was not impaired at the time of the crash, police said. Detectives said that riding the wrong way against traffic by Boehme is the major contributing factor in the crash. Jamie Donnelly covers breaking news for the Arizona Daily Star.

CROWN POINT — An Urbana, Illinois, man charged in 2015 with six counts of child molesting pleaded guilty last week to one count of misdemeanor battery. A. Bernard Coffer, 68, admitted in a plea agreement he caused bodily injury to a girl in July 2012 at a residence in Gary. In exchange for his plea, Lake County prosecutors agreed to dismiss all six counts of child molesting. If Lake Criminal Court Judge Samuel Cappas accepts Coffer's plea agreement, he could face up to a year in jail. Coffer was charged in November 2015 after police interviewed several witnesses, who alleged he repeatedly molested a relative when she was between the ages of 6 and 12. Coffer was represented by attorney Matthew Fech. Cappas set Coffer's sentencing for Aug. 19.

CROWN POINT — A 42-year-old woman pleaded guilty last week in connection with a shooting last year that wounded her pregnant neighbor and sparked a standoff with Gary police. Pamela L. Hunter, of Gary, admitted Friday to one count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury, a level 5 felony. If Lake Criminal Court Judge Samuel Cappas accepts her plea agreement, Hunter could face a sentence of one to four years. Hunter shot her neighbor's pregnant sister in the thigh April 14, 2021, during an argument with the neighbor outside their homes in the 2000 block of Vermont Street, court records state. In exchange for Hunter's plea, Lake County prosecutors agreed to dismiss seven felony counts, the highest of which was a level 3 felony. Hunter agreed to continue to abide by a no-contact order and forfeit the semi-automatic handgun used in the shooting for destruction.

Kingman Mayor Jen Miles to resign effective Aug. 5; cites health concerns Kingman Mayor Jen Miles announced her resignation this week effective Aug. 5, citing health concerns that prevent her from fulfilling the role until her current term ends in December. Vice Mayor Ken Watkins will fill the role of mayor, vacating his position on the Kingman City Council which will remain empty until the next election unless the council fills it sooner. “It has been a privilege to serve the citizens of Kingman for almost 10 years on the Council, elected as Councilor, Vice-Mayor and Mayor," Miles said in a statement. "I am proud of the progress made during these years and believe the City of Kingman is poised to continue a trajectory of positive growth and livability.” As part of the announcement, Miles mentioned the agreements for construction of Rancho Santa Fe and Kingman Crossing interchanges as well as improvements to the airport, downtown and local parks and trails as some of the achievements of which is she is most proud during her tenure. Miles has been a resident of Kingman for almost three decades, according to the City of Kingman website. She spent nearly a third of that time serving on Kingman City Council. Miles earned degrees in chemical engineering from Auburn University and business management from Stanford University before joining Mohave Community College as the director of its Small Business Development Center. After working at the college, Miles served as Mohave County's Workforce Development Manager and helped create Mohave CARE-Net, a coalition of animal rescue organizations and the humane society that ultimately influenced the county's transition to a humane shelter contract, according to the website. In a statement announcing the resignation news, the City of Kingman thanked Miles for her years of service before wishing her well in the future.

GREENSBORO — Will there be a recount in the mayoral election? That likely won’t be clear until late next week after election officials have canvassed and certified all the ballots. While Tuesday night’s vote count included most ballots, there are still a few that may arrive by mail or that were “provisional” in status. Charlie Collicutt, the director of Guilford County's elections, said provisional ballots are set aside by elections officials to allow them to determine if the voter could legitimately participate in the election. “Maybe we didn't have them on the books or they got married and hadn't changed their name and we couldn't find them,” Collicutt explained. “But I think a big one for this election that will be pertinent is … whether or not they live inside of Greensboro.” People are also reading… Some voters who lived outside of the city tried to vote on Tuesday and were turned away because it was a municipal election and they did not live within the city limits. Incumbent Mayor Nancy Vaughan received 425 votes more than challenger Justin Outling, according to Tuesday’s unofficial results collected from 108 precincts. Outling, who represents District 3 on the City Council, has not conceded the race and may ask for a recount. “It's not about challenging the validity of the processes,” Outling said Wednesday. “The focus is really just on how many ballots are out there that haven’t been counted … and for those votes to be counted.” Vaughan, however, believes she has won the election. “I can understand he would want to make sure that all the votes are counted,” she said, “but I don't feel it will change the conclusion of the election.” Vaughan received 13,932 votes to Outling’s 13,507 — a 1.3% difference. State law says a recount can be requested if the difference in votes between two candidates is not more than 1% of the total ballots cast. Collicutt said he received 17 absentee ballots before Wednesday’s afternoon mail and about 34 provisional ballots that still have to be vetted and possibly added. Valid mail-in ballots that were postmarked by Tuesday and arrive Thursday or Friday also can be added to the vote totals, he said. “(Outling) could get within … the margin for recount, but he could also — if enough ballots came in — could change the result,” Collicutt said. “That, historically with math of how many ballots are coming in, that’s more challenging right now.” The number of votes Outling needs in either scenario is currently unknown because as votes are added, the percentages change, Collicutt said. Between now and Aug. 5, elections staff will be conducting an audit to ensure there are no counting errors, inconsistency in paperwork or other abnormalities. The Guilford County Board of Elections will hold a public vote on Aug. 5 to certify the election results. Miscellaneous write-in votes accounted for 15.2% of Tuesday’s vote total in the mayor’s race. A third candidate, Chris Meadows, waged a late write-in campaign. How many votes Meadows received won’t be known until late next week because those write-in votes have to be manually entered by elections staff. “And there’s thousands, so that’s going to take a long time,” Collicutt said. “I can tell you from observation that Chris Meadows got a lot of votes, but I cannot tell you who else may have gotten votes and how many.” Outling said he may have won the race outright had Meadows not entered. He based this on analyzing data at the precinct level from Tuesday’s election and the May 17 primary, which had no write-in candidate. “The write-in candidate likely had votes that otherwise would have went to me based on what happened in the primary,” Outling said. Vaughan said Tuesday’s vote shows residents are happy with the direction to city is moving. “The voters have basically returned the same council,” she said. “We need to just continue moving our momentum forward.”	https://greensboro.com/news/local/will-there-be-a-recount-in-the-greensboro-mayoral-race-only-time-will-tell/article_2b69bd16-0e09-11ed-9ccf-eba5d6809bac.html	2022-07-28T01:21:38	1	https://greensboro.com/news/local/will-there-be-a-recount-in-the-greensboro-mayoral-race-only-time-will-tell/article_2b69bd16-0e09-11ed-9ccf-eba5d6809bac.html
SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon Employment Department (OED) struggled with an unprecedented surge in unemployment claims when the pandemic began, leaving some beneficiaries waiting weeks or months for their checks, but a new audit says the department's outdated systems exacerbated the problem. The audit from the Oregon Secretary of State's office, released Wednesday, faults the department for failing to update systems and procedures that had been highlighted as outdated or inefficient in multiple previous audits, which limited its ability to pay out benefits quickly during the crunch. The agency also did not have enough staff or physical phone lines to deal with the overwhelming number of calls, the audit found, and its antiquated computer system couldn't be customized to adapt to new federal aid programs. "If they would've adopted a modern system several years ago, it's likely that would have more flexibility to re-code that system to enable those programs to be operated efficiently," audit manager Ian Green said during a press conference Wednesday. Some unemployment insurance claims go through an adjudication process to verify whether an applicant is eligible for benefits. The department was already struggling to complete adjudications in a timely manner, according to the audit, and the pandemic made the wait times much worse. "One thing Oregon did better than others states, or at least did relatively well in comparison, was a lower rate of fraud," Secretary of State Shemia Fagan said. "But there's a trade-off. The more fraud protections you have, the slower the controls for being anti-fraud make those processes." The audit also found that the adjudication process appeared to take longer for some racial and income-level groups. "We weren't able to identify any particular cause for why certain races and certain income levels had longer adjudications, but it was a concerning trend to us that we felt that OED should be monitoring going forward," Green said. Those demographic groups didn't show significant differences in wait times before the pandemic, he added, but during the pandemic some of them had to wait an extra two weeks on top of the already long adjudication process. The audit recommends that the department modernize its computer system, monitor data to detect when claims get stuck in adjudication and study creating an ombuds office to help applicants navigate the system. The report credits the Oregon Unemployment Department for already moving to address some of the issues outlined in the audit, and pledging to act on the rest. The report also acknowledges that every state struggled to keep up because the scale of the surge was completely unprecedented — Oregon's unemployment rate nearly tripled from February to April 2020 — but it still faults Oregon's outdated system as a contributing factor. "(Oregon Employment Department staff) care about Oregonians and they did work under very adverse circumstances to the best that they could," audits director Kip Memmott said during the press conference. "But we do need to improve it, and this report is a map to go forward with that."	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/audit-oregon-unemployment-system-struggled-pandemic/283-a38c77f5-6c7b-49c2-aa2a-b4a1aeb48297	2022-07-28T01:22:32	0	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/audit-oregon-unemployment-system-struggled-pandemic/283-a38c77f5-6c7b-49c2-aa2a-b4a1aeb48297
ROANOKE, Va. – Time has flown by for the members working on this year’s “Home for Good” project. And thanks to the help of volunteers, there has been an incredible amount of progress made since the project kicked off at the beginning of June. In fact, the project is nearly halfway complete. “The way Habitat builds those houses affordably is by using volunteer labor whenever possible,” Gina Dunnavant, the Habitat Volunteer Manager said. On average, volunteers provide 70% of the labor needed to complete each home, and there are plenty of ways to get help. “You might be framing a house. You might be putting the wallboard up. You might be painting. You might be landscaping. You might be putting a porch on the back of the house,” Dunnavant said. “But whatever you’re doing, we’ll make sure you’re doing it within your comfort level and also with the training you need to make sure it’s done right.” But there are other volunteer opportunities – no hammers or nails required – at Habitat’s ReStore. “The ReStore sells new and used furniture, home goods, and building supplies, and then the proceeds from selling those items go to fund the building of the Habitat houses,” Dunnavant said. The coronavirus pandemic impacted Habitat’s volunteer numbers. There have been more individual volunteers coming out, and fewer groups, which are typically a big part of Habitat’s volunteer force. “We’re still building back up. We are still low,” Dunnavant said. “We really would like to have those groups back out.” Because those volunteers are not just building a house, they’re building community.	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/27/wsls-habitat-for-humanity-home-for-good-project-nearly-halfway-complete/	2022-07-28T01:22:32	0	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/27/wsls-habitat-for-humanity-home-for-good-project-nearly-halfway-complete/
NEWBERG, Ore. — Earlier this month, tenants at a low-income housing complex in Newberg known as Haworth Terrace received eviction notices for having window-mounted air conditioners. The Yamhill County Housing Authority, which runs the property, said they were fire hazards and posed an egress issue. The tenants were allowed to have portable units but couldn’t afford them. A KGW News viewer watched the story, which aired Monday on KGW, and stepped up to help, purchasing three portable AC units from Ankeny Hardware. With the help of the store owner, they delivered the units for free. “Thank you so much. God bless you. Bless you,” one woman said through tears as a portable AC unit showed up on her doorstep Wednesday morning. “Thank you so much. You just have no idea how this has impacted our community here,” added another. “We’re just all uplifted. It’s done amazing things — not just cooling our house but warming our hearts,” said Mary McGrew. She has multiple sclerosis, which she said gets worse in the heat. Kim Stark was the KGW viewer who bought the three portable AC units, spending $1,500. “It’s a good day. It’s a miracle day,” Stark said. “I felt very bad for them and I wanted to help them … I’ll share what I have with people. I wish I was wealthier because I would buy more air conditioners for everybody here.” “I was amazed. I was flabbergasted,” said Norman Chusid, who runs Ankeny Hardware where Stark bought the units. “We’re happy to deliver them for free and get them into each unit and so that’s what we did today.” Niki Sherman, one of the women who faced eviction from Haworth Terrace, will finally sleep well after weeks of suffering without AC. “I won’t get migraines because I’ll be cool. My legs and feet swell when it’s hot and so I won’t have to deal with that as much,” Sherman said. “This just took such a big load of stress off our shoulders because we’ve been so worried about losing our housing.” RELATED: 'I truly never thought I would see this day': Portland woman receives first AC unit in 29 years A tenant’s right to AC has been a hot topic for state lawmakers, particularly after the deadly heat dome event last summer. They took action back in March, passing a bill allowing tenants the right to install AC in their apartments. Representative Pam Marsh chairs the legislature's Environment and Natural Resources Committee and pointed out that the bill is laced with restrictions and still needs work, leading to situations like this one. “Conditions on the ground are changing in a way that we have to make sure Oregonians are safe,” said Rep. Marsh. “After last year, and people dying from the heat, they need air conditioning,” added Chusid. State lawmakers have only just started this discussion around a tenant’s right to AC. With these rising temperatures, it’s become more of a pressing issue. So representatives like Marsh are looking for feedback. If your lease doesn’t allow you to install AC units, you're encouraged to contact your state representative.	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/miracle-day-newberg-tenants-no-longer-face-eviction-kgw-viewer-steps-up-donates-portable-ac-units-to-align-with-housing-code/283-4421f2f8-ca74-4b85-9bb2-3c05862f178c	2022-07-28T01:22:38	0	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/miracle-day-newberg-tenants-no-longer-face-eviction-kgw-viewer-steps-up-donates-portable-ac-units-to-align-with-housing-code/283-4421f2f8-ca74-4b85-9bb2-3c05862f178c

CORBETT, Ore. — The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office said that a man has died after being found unresponsive in the Sandy River on Wednesday afternoon. The sheriff's office said that it's a presumed drowning. Deputies responded around 2:40 p.m. to a report of an unresponsive person in the river near Oxbow Regional Park. While deputies fanned out across the river bank, firefighters from the Gresham Fire Department launched a river rescue boat to reach the person. The Gresham firefighters found the person, revealed to be an adult man, and were able to take him into shore where paramedics were waiting. However, the man was declared dead following a medical evaluation. Authorities haven't yet revealed the exact circumstances of the man's death, but he's believed to have drowned. Wednesday's events mirror a story from earlier this month, when 53-year-old Christopher Smaka did not return from a hike around the Sandy River. Some of his belongings were found around Oxbow Park, and his body was later discovered in the river not far from where he'd gone in. "A lot of times, in the hot weather this time of year, people underestimate the Sandy River significantly," said MCSO's head search-and-rescue coordinator Sgt. Brian Gerkman during the search for Smaka. "It is still very cold, it's glacier melt — people will see that it looks low and clear, and that river still moves pretty rapidly and it's very cold." There have been several other drownings on local waterways within recent weeks as temperatures warm up. The Northwest is in the middle of an Excessive Heat Warning that will go through Saturday. This is a developing story and will be updated with more details as they emerge.	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/sandy-river-man-dead-unresponsive-oxbow/283-0c77e137-8aba-4c9c-9d5e-e09fc0d1e126	2022-07-28T01:22:44	0	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/sandy-river-man-dead-unresponsive-oxbow/283-0c77e137-8aba-4c9c-9d5e-e09fc0d1e126
PORTLAND, Ore. — Two people have died from suspected hyperthermia in Oregon during this week's Pacific Northwest heat wave, the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office reported Wednesday. The medical examiner's office said the deaths are "potentially related" to the heat wave, which has brought temperatures in the upper 90s and 100s for the past three days, according to a news release. An excessive heat warning is in effect through Saturday. "This designation as a heat-related death is preliminary and further investigation may reveal a cause of death that’s unrelated to hyperthermia," the release said. KGW has not yet learned where the deaths took place or personal information about those who died. The official cause of death may not be confirmed until several months after the individual's deaths. The state has requested that county medical examiners keep track of deaths that are potentially related to the heat wave. This week's heat wave comes a little more than a year after the historic heat dome event in 2021, which topped out at 116 degrees and resulted in the deaths of nearly 100 people.

VANCOUVER, Wash. — The City of Vancouver has begun cleaning up homeless camps and ordering residents to move out in areas that are considered at risk for wildfires. It's the first round of enforcement under a new city ordinance aimed at ending homeless camping in public places that could quickly burn. "This is quite dangerous during fire season," said Jamie Spinelli, Vancouver’s homeless response coordinator. "It's very dangerous if someone gets caught in a wildfire and then fire trucks can't get here there's no water access." Starting early Wednesday morning to beat the heat, cleanup crews began work just outside Leverich Park, with a camp cleanup on the hillside near the entrance. They then worked their way into the park and onto the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail. There was plenty to clean up, but most of the homeless camps in the area were already empty of people, including one camp just off the beaten path. It burned earlier in the season, but fortunately the fire didn't spread. "This is an area that's been burned out, and so we're going to go ahead and get rid of all the debris that was left behind," said Sheila Andrews, encampment response coordinator for Vancouver. Homeless residents from this camp and others got regular visits from Andrews over the past few months to help them prepare for this day. "So they've known for some time," she said. "I bring out Council for the Homeless, I bring out every other outreach organization I can, to meet with everybody to get their needs met to move forward." With many of the roughly 35 former campers from this area now in better situations, a contracted cleanup crew from Rapid Response Bio-Clean came in and helped city workers reclaim the land along the popular greenway. The new city ordinance to block camping is meant to stop situations like a fire that broke out at a large homeless encampment just north of city limits a month ago. The fire injured one person and Clark County Fire District 6 had a challenge stopping it from spreading into the surrounding brush and trees. Back near Leverich Park, a lone Vancouver police officer helped out in what proved to be a low security risk cleanup. Spinelli said the clean up will make the public space better for everybody. "We've done everything that we can to make sure people have alternatives, but the reality is this place is just ripe for a wildfire and you know, people trying to stay warm at night or just cook their food will use fire," Spinelli said. "And sometimes that gets out of control, especially in dry environments like this."	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/vancouver-clears-homeless-camps-wildfire-risk/283-3d7c9d44-4a6b-4b31-a926-32a8bb722676	2022-07-28T01:22:56	1	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/vancouver-clears-homeless-camps-wildfire-risk/283-3d7c9d44-4a6b-4b31-a926-32a8bb722676
Robb Elementary Principal Mandy Gutierrez defended herself Wednesday against a Texas House committee’s finding that she failed to address security lapses at the Uvalde school — making it easier for a gunman to enter the Uvalde school and slaughter 19 students and two teachers on May 24. The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District placed Gutierrez on administrative leave with pay on Monday pending a review of the school’s security practices. The review’s conclusions could determine whether she will keep her job. In a report released July 17, the House special committee investigating the mass shooting said Robb Elementary administrators handled school security poorly. Although the school had adopted security policies — including locking exterior doors and classroom doors — the report said, “There was a regrettable culture of noncompliance by school personnel who frequently propped doors open and deliberately circumvented locks.” One of the doors cited in the report was to Room 111, which was unlocked that Tuesday morning, allowing the gunman to enter the classroom. Employees said its lock did not always work, and school officials hadn’t issued a work order for its repair. Salvador Ramos, 18, of Uvalde, committed the massacre in Room 111 and the adjoining Room 112. The report also noted that Gutierrez did not issue a lockdown order over Robb Elementary’s public address system after receiving word that a shooter was crossing the school yard, heading toward one of the campus buildings. In a letter to the Texas House committee on Wednesday, Gutierrez defended her decision not to use the PA system to alert staff and students. “Our training emphasized that using the public address system could compound the problem in creating a panic situation with students and an alert to the one or more gunmen that was present to do maximum harm,” she said in the letter, obtained by the Express-News. “I was trained to consider the PA system as communication with perpetrators that could be used to hurt more students and teachers.” Robb Elementary also had poor Wi-Fi connectivity, which the committee report said sometimes hobbled the school’s web-based danger notification alert system, known as Raptor. Gutierrez said she successfully worked around a weak Wi-Fi signal the day of the massacre. “I encountered buffering and did what I always do. I went to a window and held my phone up,” Gutierrez said. “At the same time, I called UCISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo. He picked up the phone and was already aware of the Raptor alert, saying to me before I uttered a single word, ‘Shut it down, Mandy. Shut it down.’ ’’ Gutierrez also disputed the committee’s finding that Room 111’s door didn’t lock properly. She said the door to Room 111 was locked and checked the night before the shooting, and that custodians checked all school doors nightly to ensure they were locked. The teacher in Room 111, Arnulfo Reyes, unlocked the door the morning of the shooting to let himself in — which Gutierrez said showed the door’s lock worked. “The teacher in charge of that classroom complained on more than one occasion that because the door DID lock, his work- day was interrupted because the printer for several classrooms was located in that room,” she said. “(Reyes) was severely wounded and has undergone a tremendous ordeal,” Gutierrez said. “His memory of the events have not added clarity to answer all questions on how the gunman entered the classroom, but it is inaccurate to conclude that it was because the door to classroom 111 did not lock.” “The teacher in charge of Room 111 seems to recall that he complained about the door not locking to me for the last three years,” she said. “Again taking into account his horrific ordeal, I point out that I am in my first year as principal, and my predecessor has no recollection or record of those complaints.” Calls claims ‘unfair’ Gutierrez was completing her first year as Robb Elementary principal when the shooting occurred. She has worked for Uvalde CISD for more than two decades, starting as a fourth-grade teacher at Robb. In 2018, she became assistant principal, and she was promoted to principal in 2021. She said she received an “accomplished” rating for school safety in a recent review of her performance. “It is unfair and inaccurate to conclude that I ever (became) complacent on any security issue of Robb Elementary,” she said in her letter, which was obtained by the Express-News. The committee report also faulted school officials for becoming lax about safety procedures because of the frequency of campus lockdowns stemming from “bailouts” — when human traffickers trying to outrun police crash their vehicles so their passengers can flee on foot. “I wholeheartedly deny that the numerous ‘bailout’ alerts created any complacency on my part to relax the procedures necessary to ensure the safety of the campus,” she said. “We were trained to treat every alert from any law enforcement agency as a situation with the high potential to escalate into a dangerous episode for students, teachers, and administrators.” Gutierrez ended her letter with a plea to remain a principal. “Finally, I will live with the horror of these events for the rest of my life,” she wrote. “I want to keep my job not only so that I can provide for my family, but so that I can continue to be on the front lines helping children who survived, the families of all affected, and the entire Uvalde community that I love and want to continue to protect.” guillermo.contreras@ express-news.net \| Twitter: @gmaninfedland	https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Uvalde-principal-disagrees-security-blame-17333800.php	2022-07-28T01:23:30	1	https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Uvalde-principal-disagrees-security-blame-17333800.php

Southwest Airlines and the union representing its pilots have resisted cooperating with investigations into accidents and other incidents and pushed to close the matters quickly, federal officials said Wednesday. The independent agency known as the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which represents federal whistleblowers, said it has generally substantiated claims from four whistleblowers who raised serious safety questions about the Federal Aviation Administration's oversight of the Dallas-based airline. The whistleblowers complained the FAA allowed dozens of planes to fly without verifying they were safe and also allowed the airline to hide serious incidents of pilot mistakes. A letter the agency sent to President Joe Biden sums up the allegations: that FAA officials “knowingly permitted SWA to engage in unsafe and improper actions that compromised the safety of the flying public." Some of the whistleblower complaints go back years and have been investigated earlier. But this new report says a number of issues were unresolved or were dismissed under influence from the airline. "This looks pretty serious,” said William Angelley, a former Navy pilot and now an aviation attorney in Dallas. "What jumps out at me is there's a culture here where the local FAA oversight of Southwest Airlines has become too cozy with the airline and they've allowed some of these things that are dangerous to the flying public to occur." Southwest issued a statement on the report. Local The latest news from around North Texas. "In 2018, and thereafter, Southwest cooperated fully with regulatory and Congressional inquiries into the years-old allegations now being raised again,” the statement said. “Southwest was then and remains proud of its safety record. As part of our emphasis on safety, we have maintained a transparent and professional relationship with the FAA." The airline said it has confidence in its pilots and operations and safety has been its top priority for its 51-year history. The FAA released its own statement. "The FAA took the Office of Special Counsel's concerns seriously and acted quickly to adopt the recommendations that resulted from the investigation,” it said. “The agency continues to work with the appropriate parties to resolve any outstanding issues." The union representing Southwest pilots did not respond immediately to requests for comment. CASES RAISED IN FEDERAL REPORT In one instance disclosed Wednesday, the Federal Aviation Administration cut short an investigation of a 2019 incident in Connecticut even though the agency determined that there was pilot error. Both wings of the Southwest jet were damaged as pilots battling wind tried to land at Bradley International Airport, outside of Hartford. The FAA said Southwest and union officials resisted interviews with agency representatives in that and other cases. Sometimes the delaying tactics worked. An investigation into why pilots placed duct tape over sensors outside a plane before a flight fizzled when the FAA employee took another job. It reported another accident — a plane that went off the runway in Burbank, California — in which an FAA review was “fast-tracked” under pressure from Southwest. In a separate review of that incident, the National Transportation Review Board found that the co-pilot’s conduct was “highly unprofessional.” The FAA said it agreed with some of the allegations raised by three whistleblowers and took corrective steps including more training and development of audits to ensure compliance with aviation-safety guidelines. In a response to the special counsel’s office, the FAA said it found “mismanagement and lack of oversight” by the office monitoring Southwest that has persisted despite management and staff changes over the years. The FAA said new executives will provide “a fresh opportunity to evaluate” the oversight of Southwest. Some of the whistleblower accusations have been leveled before, including Southwest’s use of planes bought overseas without verifying their maintenance and inspection records. In more than half of those cases, the airline found that the planes had undergone repair work that wasn’t documented or couldn’t be verified. The FAA said some of the whistleblower allegations couldn’t be proven, including a claim that Southwest routinely assigns too much work for mechanics to handle. A separate allegation that the FAA improperly certified Southwest for long overwater flights — approval the airline needed to sell flights to Hawaii — was examined by the Transportation Department’s inspector general, who could not verify the claim. Southwest has faced questions about safety over the years and has paid millions to settle safety violations, however, it has a good record over its five-decade history. No passenger had died in an accident involving a Southwest plane until 2018, when a woman was killed after an engine broke apart over Pennsylvania and debris shattered the window next to her seat. In 2005, a 6-year-old boy riding in a car was killed when a Southwest jet landing during a snowstorm in Chicago skidded off the runway, crashed through a fence and hit the car.	https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/federal-report-faults-southwest-airlines-faa-over-lax-safety-investigations/3033591/	2022-07-28T01:39:03	0	https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/federal-report-faults-southwest-airlines-faa-over-lax-safety-investigations/3033591/
ELK GROVE, Calif. — The Elk Grove City Council is continuing discussions on an affordable housing complex for the unhoused. The proposed Oak Rose Apartment project would bring 67 affordable housing units to an empty lot to 9252 Elk Grove Blvd, offering permanent supportive housing along with support services for homeless individuals. "I don't feel like this is the appropriate place," said Brandy Belasco, owner of Blush Salon & Spa, which sits across from where the complex would be built if approved. Similar sentiments have been echoed by many residents in the area along with business owners who are concerned about what the project would bring and attract to the area. "Concerns raised as far as safety goes and because we're all women here and sometimes we're here late at night," said Belasco. "I do feel we would probably lose some customers just out of fear." ABC10 spoke to Sarah Bontrager, Elk Grove's Housing and Public Services Program Manager, to get more context on the broader issue of homelessness in the city. At any given time, there's an estimated 100 to 150 homeless individuals in the city, according to Bontrager. "One of the challenges in recent months has been that when folks have to leave their housing for whatever reason, it's really hard to find new housing. There's very low vacancy rates. There's not much affordable housing available," Bontrager said. The city's planning commission already voted to deny the affordable housing project, but the developer has filed an appeal with Elk Grove City Council. Answers on whether the project will move forward or be rejected are expected to come from Wednesday's scheduled meeting. "I do believe in helping the homeless. I have a heart for the homeless myself — but I do feel like we just need it in a different location, maybe more in an industrial area or somewhere where it's not so close to apartments or businesses," Belasco said.

STOCKTON, Calif. — An iconic piece of architectural history that has stood firm in the heart of downtown Stockton for nearly a century, has caught the attention of an involved community member that points out the building's need for restoration and modernization. Built in honor of fallen soldiers after World War I, the Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium was built in 1925 and opened to the public in 1926 under city management. The 18,000 square foot structure was designed to host events that would accommodate from 100 to 2,800 guests, according to the city of Stockton. Now, almost 100 years later, the event space continues to be used frequently for concerts, crab feeds, wedding receptions, quinceañeras, proms and more. The auditorium is also occasionally used to host performances by the Stockton Symphony, another nearly 100-year-old asset to the city's historic character. However, Stockton Symphony board member and former president Kathy Hart said she thinks the city should consider properly restoring the auditorium to accommodate public safety and convenience. “We have been trying to use the Civic Auditorium for concerts, but there are various things wrong with it,” Hart said. “For anybody who has any kind of mobility problems, it's not a good place.” Along with the need for modernization, Hart said there has not been enough done in the auditorium enough to consider the needs of the community. The Stockton Civic Auditorium currently has several wheelchair accessible ramps outside that lead inside to the front entrance, but Hart said she is concerned with features inside the building. “There are all sorts of things about it that just need to be upgraded; it's not ADA-compliant at all,” Hart said. “It has no railings, it has no elevator, it has no ADA-compliant bathrooms and all of those sorts of things.” Hart said the supposed lack of ADA-compliance is a potential lawsuit waiting to happen for the city, fearing in that instance, the city would then not have enough funding to make the necessary repairs and have to tear it down. “There's a lot of historical stuff down there, and it just would be a shame to end up tearing it down,” Hart said. “It was built in honor of the World War I veterans, and something like that just shouldn't be allowed to decay.” City of Stockton spokeswoman Connie Cochran said she believes the essential areas needed for common use are compliant. "The building on the 1st floor is accessible and that's where most events of the primary events that go on there," Cochran said. "We have identified the areas that are appropriate for use and the accessibility, and when somebody rents the facility, we walk through that with them." Hart said she is also suggesting a number of overdue other features that would enhance safety and convenience in downtown. “Another thing we'd like is to see a parking garage down there where people would feel safe to park and possibly a bridge that would go into the auditorium from the parking garage so people don't have to go to the street if they don't want to,” Hart said. "It would revive the downtown." Downtown Stockton is known for its historic architecture, a lot of which have seen similar issues of vulnerability allegedly due to lack of preservation. "The City of Stockton is an old city with lots of historic buildings," Cochran said. "We are actively working to update our ADA Transition and Self-Evaluation Plan and assessing all City-owned buildings for opportunities to make accessibility improvements." Despite recognizing the potential need for updates, the main reason the auditorium, along with other historic buildings, in downtown are not met with restoration efforts comes down to funding, according to Cochran. "The challenge is it is recognized as a historical landmark here within the city and any kind of renovation or any significant changes to the building would require a huge amount of capital," Cochran said. "That would be something that, at this time, we don't have either the financial resources or the capacity in terms of staffing to do." Cochran said maintenance and inspection occur whenever necessary as the building is frequently used, but that the city does not have any plans for significant upgrades despite these reported concerns. She said that the city's efforts are focused on day-to-day operation and present needs. "If the facility does not currently meet the needs of those seeking rental facilities, we can recommend other public or private rental facilities in the community," Cochran said.

STOCKTON, Calif. — With nearly 40,000 students of Stockton's largest school district returning to campuses Friday, a delay in air filter installation could mean less clean air for thousands of young students and teachers. According to district officials, hundreds of ultraviolet air filters intended for classrooms are not installed over a year after being purchased for $7.3 million. In a 4-to-1 vote in July of 2021, the Stockton Unified School District's (SUSD) Board of Education approved the $7.3 million purchase of 1,891 UVC air filters from the company IAQ Distribution. The filters, said to kill viruses in seconds such as the virus that causes COVID-19, were purchased before the 2021 school year as part of the district's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The filters clean the air in classrooms using ultraviolet light which the district said disinfects the air of airborne pathogens. The ultraviolet light emitted by the filters has also been cause for concern for some staff members. Over a year after the filters were purchased, SUSD tells ABC10 that nearly $3.6 million worth of the virus-killing devices are still sitting in boxes, not installed. "The Stockton Unified School District Board of Education felt compelled to provide protection to students, teachers and staff during the COVID Pandemic. SUSD purchased 2,172 highly vetted air filtration units. 802 units have been installed," the district said in a statement to ABC10 Wednesday. "The district is currently preparing a bid to install the remaining 1,369 units because the company, IAQ, was not able to complete the install. The safety of students, teachers and staff remain a top priority." The air filters, which cost SUSD $2,667 each, according to board records, were part of the subject of a grand jury investigation into mismanagement at the district, released in June. According to the grand jury report, during a January school board meeting, a trustee endorsed a company to sell the UVC air filters to the school district. That company was unable to meet the conditions required by the district, according to the grand jury. "The practice of a trustee recommending a vendor is unusual and may be considered or perceived as a conflict of interest," the report said. Soon after, the superintendent at the time, John Ramirez Jr. who has since resigned, ordered staffers to begin the request for proposals process for the project to find a supplier of UVC air filters for the district. The process, required by law, allows companies to bid to be chosen as the district's supplier. District staffers analyze the bids by assigning each of them a score and determining which ones would be best for the district. In the end, five companies, including IAQ, went before the school board for approval to be the air filter vendor. IAQ, the company that was scored the lowest by Stockton Unified staff members, was the one that board members chose to become the district's supplier. According to the grand jury report, the school district paid IAQ $2.9 million of the $7.3 million contract in August but, a search of the California Secretary of State's website by May showed that IAQ was no longer registered to conduct business in the state. Now, SUSD said a new request for proposals must go out in order for the remaining 63% of filters to be installed by a different company. District officials said the new request for proposals is in the process of being created. Stockton Unified School District's fall semester begins Friday, two days before Dr. Traci Miller takes the helm at the district as SUSD's second interim superintendent since the month of June.

Lehigh County commissioners voted to prioritize spending over $140 million on improvement projects over the next five years during a Wednesday meeting, a plan that will likely come with a future tax hike. The board voted unanimously for the motion with little discussion. The projects are part of Lehigh County’s 2023-27 capital plan, a five-year directional plan. Though it includes amounts the projects are expected to cost, it shouldn’t be confused with a budget, in which the county allocates money in one-year spending plans. However, those budgets could reflect the capital plan priorities, county General Services Director Rick Molchany said. “I asked the department heads to look ahead, not just five years ahead, but to look way ahead so we can start to anticipate large spending and capital planning for you as you’re developing your tax strategies,” Molchany told officials July 6. Cedarbrook nursing home in South Whitehall Township would be in line for $31 million more of rehabilitation work under the spending priorities. Also on the list are upgrades to the 911 communications system, farmland preservation and more bridge repairs: - The plan would upgrade what is now an analog 911 radio system for the county to a completely digital one. The projected cost is $46 million. This change would likely go into effect by 2025, if approved. - The plan dedicates $14.5 million to farmland preservation, helping guard against continued warehouse development in the county. To date, nearly 27,000 acres of Lehigh County farmland and 381 farms have been preserved. The county wants to secure 2,000 acres over the next five years. - County-owned bridges would receive nearly $9 million in maintenance or minor rehabilitation over the next several years to keep them open. To meet the demands of its projects, the county would likely need to raise taxes roughly every 10 years, Molchany said, though unknowns such as potential project delays make it difficult to determine when taxes could be raised and by how much. During the first reading of the adoption July 13, Commissioner Jeffrey Dutt said: “I believe those needs that were stated in the Capital Plan are very necessary, and I appreciate the work that we have to do [with the projects].”	https://www.mcall.com/news/local/mc-nws-capital-plan-adopted-20220728-ja2b5l6stvaqznpp6bvxummoxi-story.html	2022-07-28T01:42:15	0	https://www.mcall.com/news/local/mc-nws-capital-plan-adopted-20220728-ja2b5l6stvaqznpp6bvxummoxi-story.html
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Around Maria Tseng’s Scottsdale home, hang pictures and mementos. “This was his official picture,” Tseng said, pointing at a man in a NASA spacesuit holding a helmet. It’s a picture of her late husband, Philip Chapman. The couple was married for 37 years. “This was probably his proudest artifact,” Chapman said. “It’s a custom-made helmet. Proves that he was really an astronaut.” Chapman, Tseng said, had space on his mind as a 12-year-old living in Australia. His dreams led him to join MIT’s Experimental Astronomy Lab and work for NASA as the first Australian-American scientist-astronaut. “Phil was among a candidate team of 906 people,” Tseng said. “But they selected eleven.” Chapman was a mission scientist for Apollo 14, and he was also selected for Skylab B’s mission to space. “When NASA canceled it, Phil was, of course, unhappy,” Tseng said. He missed the ride of a lifetime. But his death brought another chance. “His son Googled it and said, ‘Oh, well, here’s this memorial flights company. And at first, I thought, ‘eh, you know?” Tseng said. But after the canceled mission, Chapman left NASA. Tseng said Chapman worked in the commercial space sector, so Celestis, Inc.’s opportunity fit Chapman’s life. “It kind of fulfills his career goal of making commercial space real,” Tseng said. In November, Chapman’s remains will be aboard a flight going up to space and coming back down. Charles Chafer, Co-founder and CEO of Celestis, Inc., said it’s about a 30 to 45-minute trip from the launch, the flight reaching space, to staff retrieving the capsule out of the New Mexico desert. Chafer said the flight will be the 18th memorial spaceflight from Spaceport America and will have about 120 memorial spaceflight participants. Families of the participants can come to the launch site and get a tour before a memorial service. The following day, Chafer said, is when the memorial spaceflight launches. “For us, it's very fulfilling and very honoring that we're able to give Dr. Chapman his first trip to space,” Chafer said. After that, Chapman will also be making a second, permanent trip. “The launch will take more than 150 of our participants on a 300 million mile cruise past Mars, where it establishes a solar orbit, which is going to be there as long as anything in the solar system is going to be there,” Chafer said. Tseng said Chapman always was interested in the science and experiments that could have been done in space, more than the ride into space itself. But, the second launch will be the trip for the astronaut who missed the ride of a lifetime but will get the ride for eternity. “The second flight I feel very bad about – it going forever,” Tseng said. “But that’s what happens. At least he’ll be out there doing something he would have liked.” Up to Speed Catch up on the latest news and stories on the 12News YouTube channel.

With well over 17,000 riders in Mason City for RAGBRAI on Wednesday, somebody needs to fix up all of the bikes that need repairs. That's where Forrest Ridgway, the owner of Bike World, and his employees step in. Owning two stores in the Des Moines area and one in Ames, this year marks Ridgway's 47th RAGBRAI. With most of them coming as a rider and some coming as a repairman, Ridgway believes that this year stacks up with some of the better ones he's been a part of. "Weather-wise and terrain-wise, this has been one of the best ones," he said. "All of the cities have done a great job of getting set up, and we're just having a great ride... thanks to (Mason City) for organizing your city here for us." Being in the retail business means staying with or even ahead of the group, and that calls for early mornings and late nights. People are also reading… "We leave before five o'clock in the morning, and we rolled into town here at 6:30 in the morning," Ridway said. "We get set up, open up in the late morning, and we stay open until about nine or ten o'clock tonight fixing all the bikes so everybody's ready to go the next day." Spokes, tires, wheels, and just about everything you can think of get repaired on the route. Ridgway assured that if you name it, they've seen it. That's part of what he believes makes the event so interesting. There's always something new to see, whether it be through a repair or just mingling with the crowd. "On an average we're probably gonna do between 75 and 100 repairs, Ridgway said. "That's just in the overnight tent. We also have another group of our mechanics that are on the route itself, set up just like we are here, and they'll do equally as many or more. We probably service close to 200 bikes every day."	https://globegazette.com/news/local/bike-world-owner-forrest-ridgway-serving-as-repairman-in-47th-ragbrai/article_b9e33755-becd-5662-b5d4-7017d995dc47.html	2022-07-28T01:52:07	1	https://globegazette.com/news/local/bike-world-owner-forrest-ridgway-serving-as-repairman-in-47th-ragbrai/article_b9e33755-becd-5662-b5d4-7017d995dc47.html
Iowa Team Blue, which is a group of both current and retired police officers, was in Mason City for RAGBRAI on Wednesday. Starting out as part of Iowa Cops roughly a decade ago, the group split off to form Iowa Team Blue back in 2018. Getting through Century Day nice and clean, with just one tire repair needed, the group is pleased with how the event has gone so far this year. "It was a fun ride," Scott Dahlstrom said. "I'm from Mason City. I thought they did a great job the last time we stayed. The entertainment was great. There are a lot of great things about Mason City, so I expect it to be the same this year." Dahlstrom is currently a police dispatcher in Des Moines, but he graduated from Mason City High School in 1986 and served in that same role for the MCPD from 1987 to 1992. People are also reading… As a member of Iowa Team Blue, the goal is to raise money for police officers and the various needs they have. "We ride to get funds for officers to get body cameras and vests, tasers, all of that," fellow Iowa Team Blue member Steve Klimpke said. With two days left on the route, the members of the team, especially Dahlstrom, are looking forward to relaxing in Mason City after a long Century Day ride. With Don Felder and Sugar Ray providing the entertainment on Wednesday night, the group is also excited to take it all in before getting right back to it on Thursday morning's trip to Charles City. "It should be a good night tonight," Klimpke said.	https://globegazette.com/news/local/iowa-team-blue-takes-on-ragbrai-raises-funds-for-police-officers/article_bc9919ed-410d-56bb-91d6-6470c0cf8b47.html	2022-07-28T01:52:13	1	https://globegazette.com/news/local/iowa-team-blue-takes-on-ragbrai-raises-funds-for-police-officers/article_bc9919ed-410d-56bb-91d6-6470c0cf8b47.html
As hundreds of RAGBRAI riders made the turn into Central Park, one woman stood alone behind the barricade, watching for her husband. Nancy Glass of St. Louis, Missouri, has been her husband's supporter through many races throughout the decades. Jeff Glass had texted her at his last stop in Clear Lake, saying he was tired, but excited to cross the finish line. Jeff is riding through his second RAGBRAI this year, and Nancy said he had been nervous about Wednesday's century ride, but after that day it would be smooth sailing. Nancy tracked Jeff's bike on her phone as he slowly made his last trek in Mason City. He'd made various stops throughout the day, but was determined to cross the finish line. Jeff used to do triathlons, but had fallen into biking in the last few years, and Nancy cheered him on through it all. Before heading to the finish line, Nancy spent some time admiring Mason City: People are also reading… "I love what this city has done here. It's a beautiful square." With downtown packed with vendors and live music, the festivities had already begun. Nancy waited, camera ready at the finish line for her husband, supporting him on every leg of the race. Century celebration Kathy Murphy stood near the plaza, listening to a Brad Morgan song as she celebrated finishing her Century Day. "It was an amazing day. Beautiful weather, great energy, everybody should be really excited that they made it here today," Murphy said with a smile. Murphy left Emmetsburg to begin her 100 mile trek at 6:45 this morning. She rolled into Central Park around 5 p.m., having made plenty of stops along the way. Her favorite stop was the Iowa Beer Bus and eating ice cream sandwiches. She especially loved the ride into town. "I really have to thank the city, all the 100s throughout town was amazing to see and really exciting for everybody," Murphy said. Murphy said she wasn't nervous about Century Day this year. She's ridden in plenty of RAGBRAIs over the years, and trains regularly. She didn't always ride the 100 mile days throughout her time in RAGBRAI, but Murphy had plenty of experience with long days riding over the last five months. Murphy is on the inspection team for RAGBRAI, so she rode the RAGBRAI route last month with about 40 others. Though the route was the same, this ride completely changed for Murphy between June and July. "The energy is completely different, going from 40 people to multiple thousands. It was a fun ride," Murphy said. It was an exciting ride and she said the weather was perfect, with a tailwind moving everybody along faster. Compared to her trek a few months before that Murphy said, "This ride was a joy ride." "Back in March I rode across the United States, so this ride wasn't too bad," she laughed. Murphy's ride across the U.S. took her 65 days, starting in San Diego and ending in Florida. Kathy Murphy didn't spend long loitering in Central Park. After cooling down and listening to some live music she was ready to move on. She was excited to get to her hotel, shower, and come back to listen to Sugar Ray play that evening. She loved the energy and excitement from the ride, and was excited for other riders as they made their way in. "There were plenty of riders behind me, (Central Park) will fill up quickly this evening," Murphy said. Rae Burnette is a GA and Crime & Courts Reporter at the Globe Gazette.

"I don't ride, I work and help relieve sore muscles." said Mary McDermott. She has traveled with Central Iowa Charter for five years now, massaging riders in the charter as they cycle across Iowa. "I would have to say this is the busiest year (I've been here)," McDermott noted of the 49th RAGBRAI. McDermott has been with the charter for six years, but with the pandemic gap year she has worked five RAGBRAIs. This year has seen record numbers in the Central Iowa Charter. In past years the charter service has housed roughly 100-150 riders. This year the charter welcomed over 200. The influx leaves McDermott with busy 18-hour days for RAGBRAI, but she remains in good spirits throughout the event. McDermott travels with the charter, getting up at 6:30 a.m. and heading off to the next town. She helps the charter reserve space, and then sets up for massages. Usually McDermott would help the charter team set up tents, but this year, riders have been coming into town early. Rather than starting massages around 4 p.m., McDermott has started working as early as 2:30 p.m. She works through the afternoon and evening, then shuts down around 9 p.m. People are also reading… "Then I sleep for about six hours, get up and do it again," she said. "After this week, I'm gonna be taking a long nap." Over at Jefferson Elementary, a group of massage therapists who travel with the Pork Belly Ventures charter set up shop. According to the charter's website, the group "started out with a hundred riders, one rented baggage truck, and about four crew members." They also started out with just one massage therapist. That was 28 years ago. Now, they boast 11 massage therapists Julie Alexander, a therapist who has been with Pork Belly Ventures for a decade, loves making time for RAGBRAI every year. "We love it," she said. "We get a chance to see people from all over the world. They always leave us with some kind of really cool moment where, it's just a 'wow' moment. The stories of their lives, or how much they are enjoying being here with Pork Belly, or just our services." Alexander had a massage therapist friend refer her to the charter all those years ago, and since deciding to join she's been hooked. In terms of logistics, all of the Pork Belly riders get an email in June letting them know that the massage booking is open. As the team leader, Alexander fields those calls and makes sure everything is organized. The first day is always light because the riders are fresh, but things begin to pick up steam from there. With Mason City being the "Century Day" stop, those appointments went through the roof. "This is our busiest day," Ashley Guillaume, who has been with Pork Belly Ventures since 2017, said. "Today we're busy early because there are so many staggers because it's so long. Sometimes it starts later. Weather is a part of it, too." Before she was in massage therapy, Guillaume worked in events. Later on in life, the massage school she went to posted about Pork Belly Ventures need for a massage therapist for RAGBRAI. Guillaume jumped at the chance. "I've been hooked ever since," she said. "I love doing events. ... I love the whole event. It's a lot of fun. The crew is amazing. Every person is just as nice as the next and just as hard-working." The group has several massage therapists from Des Moines, a couple from Spencer, as well as Clear Lake, one from Cedar Rapids, and a pair of out-of-staters from Evanston, Ill. and Moline, Ill. And just like Alexander, Guillaume enjoys being able to meet people from all around the world. "Every single person has a different story on our table," she said. "I've had people from Germany on my table. They haven't been here in several years, but there's a couple from the Bahamas that would come up. Canada, all over the continental U.S. Really cool people with really amazing stories." With RAGBRAI being an outdoor event where people socialize and make new friends, the event provides a break from the silent massages that therapists so often give. "This is a really cool environment to do this in because it's more social," Guillaume said. "We get to actually talk to them and not feel like we're in our home studios and have to be quiet and relax. ... I don't want to say it's a lot more fun, but it's a different kind of fun than the day-to-day, in-office massage." And as far as what the future holds for Guillaume and RAGBRAI? "I'll keep doing this until my body gives out," she said with a smile. Rae Burnette is a GA and Crime & Courts Reporter at the Globe Gazette.

DALLAS — A Hawaii couple is accused of stealing the identities of dead Texas babies to obtain fake passports, DOD identity and social security cards, according to federal prosecutors. And it worked for years. A criminal complaint filed in Hawaii federal court says Walter Primrose and Gwynn Morrison assumed the identities of Bobby Edward Fort and Julie Lyn Montague, respectively. Both babies died in Texas in the 60s. A federal court filing says Primrose even wiggled his way into the Coast Guard, where he held a secret clearance as a defense contractor and as an avionics electrical technician. Former director of the CIA Porter Goss said investigators need to first determine a motive. "Whether its an economic matter or criminal matter of fraud, or whether there's some national security involved," Goss said. The criminal complaint does not explicitly say why the married couple used stolen identities. But there are clues. In 1987, their Nacogdoches home was "foreclosed by the bank," according to a court document. That's the same year the couple renamed and remade themselves, prosecutors alleged. Federal agents also seized photographs from the couple's home in Hawaii "wearing what have been identified as KGB uniforms." Goss said that alone is not enough evidence to suggest the pair were acting as Russian spies. But, he said, you also can't rule it out. "You never want to dismiss lightly the potential of a sleeper agent," Goss told WFAA. The couple was arrested on July 22 in Kapolei, Hawaii. Each face a federal conspiracy charge, false statement on a passport application and aggravated identity theft. It's painful for the family of Julie Lyn Montague, the baby girl who died in Texas in 1968, whose identity prosecutors say Morrison stole. WFAA spoke to her 92-year-old father over the phone. "I tell you what, I believe the world is full of crooks," John Montague said. "Why use somebody name that's already passed away, and bring that back? Then the family finds out... you always want them to rest in peace." Montague has two other daughters and son. His daughter, Tonda, said she was in complete shock when she saw her late sister's name in the news. "To see a photo of a person who has your sister's name in, in a KGB uniform, it's just wow. Crazy," Ferguson said. The criminal complaint does not say how the couple picked the identities they used, but noted identity thieves often go to cemeteries and look for graves with ages close to their own. Prosecutors noted the two babies whose identities were stolen were buried only 14 miles apart in Marble Falls and Burnet, Texas. That complaint also says the couple went to high school together in Port Lavaca, Texas, and attended Stephen F. Austin University together, too. Another federal court filing says Morrison, sometime ago, lived in Romania, while that country was within the Communist bloc, and that he did not report several trips to Canada, while he did report other foreign travel. Prosecutors are expected to unveil additional evidence at a hearing Thursday. Attorneys for Primrose and Morrison said they have no comment when WFAA reached out.	https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/texas/hawaii-couple-accused-using-dead-texas-infants-identities-ties-to-russia/287-ba622d43-70a3-43bf-ab14-1ad45f6663fd	2022-07-28T01:52:59	0	https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/texas/hawaii-couple-accused-using-dead-texas-infants-identities-ties-to-russia/287-ba622d43-70a3-43bf-ab14-1ad45f6663fd
June 22, 1926 – July 15, 2022 Dorothy’s departure reminds us that angels are watching over us and on Friday July 15, 2022 she received her wings and went to walk with angels. She was 96. She was born on June 22, 1926 in Rison, Arkansas. Mothers bring us into the world and it’s hard to image a life without them. They are with us when we take our first breath, and often we are with them when they take their last breath. Saying goodbye to your mother is heartbreaking. It can feel like you are alone in your grief. Learning to navigate life without their physical presence can be very difficult. Recently mom told me how much she loved us and I will forever hold that close to my heart. Jimmy added that she was the best mom ever and put our needs before herself. She always made sure we had food on the table, new clothes, and shoes; and she made me get a haircut, ha-ha. Being the youngest (Bobbie) mom was the most loving and caring for strangers as well as family. Many times she gave food or shelter to those that needed it, such loving soul who taught me the true meaning of love. Forever grateful for your love. God bless and keep you wrapped into His arms with love… We miss you momma! Her interment was held July 22, 2022 next to her husband Norman Richards (deceased) at Sunset Memorial Park in Coos Bay, Oregon. Her Celebration of Life will be held September 3, 2022 at the home of Kathy and Bud Blohm in Coquille, Oregon. Dorothy was the mother of 8 children.

Police said a 7-year-old boy, caught in the crossfire of a shootout, was shot in the hand Wednesday night in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood. Philadelphia Police Inspector DF Pace said the child was hit by a stray bullet while outside enjoying the nice weather with neighbors on the 200 block of Armstrong Street shortly after 8 p.m. Officers rushed him to an area hospital where he was listed in stable condition, Pace said. Investigators said at least 11 shots were fired in the shootout between two people, or two groups of people. The 7-year-old boy was struck in the left hand by the stray gunfire, "not playing with a gun or anything of that nature," Pace said. "There were a number of people out just enjoying the nice weather, and he was among those neighbors who were out on this street," Pace said at the scene. Two vehicles and two homes in the apartment complex were hit by the gunfire, but no further injuries were reported. Local Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.

The first cannabis dispensary in Chesterfield County could open as early as November, marking the latest expansion to Green Leaf Medical of Virginia’s growing network in the Richmond region. Only patients with written certification from a registered practitioner for medical cannabis — and government-issued identification — can purchase Green Leaf products since recreational use remains illegal statewide. Located across the street from Chesterfield Towne Center at 11601 Midlothian Turnpike, the 2,200 square-foot space is Green Leaf’s fifth planned location of six that the Virginia Board of Pharmacy has permitted the medical cannabis provider to acquire. People are also reading… One is its home base in Manchester, which houses 82,000 square feet of Green Leaf’s manufacturing operations and home delivery services. The storefront saw more than 2,000 people come through its doors during opening week in late 2020. Another is stationed in Short Pump. A third is slated to open Oct. 1 in the former Need Supply Co. space in Carytown. The fourth will take over an old Burger King in Colonial Heights off I-95. “We sought out locations that would provide the best access to our existing patients and what we believe would be our patients in the future. Those that have not yet registered,” said Phil Goldberg, Green Leaf’s co-founder and CEO. “We wanted to be positioned in areas that were easy to access.” Green Leaf’s final location is to be determined, Goldberg said, but places near Montrose or like Scott’s Addition and Ashland have been considered. He acknowledged that the process of acquiring a retail location for medical cannabis has improved in the eight years since Green Leaf has been up and running. Landlords have to approve the use of the space and sometimes, even if they do, the mortgage document could say it prohibits leasing to a medical cannabis company, Goldberg said. Local zoning ordinances can also make it difficult to operate, an issue Green Leaf has experienced in Maryland where — like in Virginia — cannabis is legal only for medical use. Back in March, House Republicans faced criticism from Democratic leaders after killing legislation that would have revved up legal sale of recreational marijuana. A Richmond man who was released in 2019 after serving 23 years for a federal drug trafficking conspiracy was sentenced Wednesday to nearly thr… At the time, House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah, chided Democrats for leaving behind a “great big mess” when they couldn’t come to an agreement on how to structure the legal market in 2021 — when Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the Governor’s office. A recent change, however, went into effect on July 1 with HB 933, which removed the requirement for patients to register with the Board of Pharmacy. Goldberg expects more shifts could be underway the more people are educated about medical cannabis, and said Green Leaf has invited pastors, police officers, firefighters and community members to explore its facilities. “That’s one common thread that runs through all of the tours is ‘Wow, I wasn’t expecting this,’” Goldberg said. “’I wasn’t expecting everyone to be in scrubs and hairnets and gloves and booties. I wasn’t expecting all these protocols for safety for the plants and for the employees. So I think that we’re slowly changing minds over time.”	https://richmond.com/business/local/a-cannabis-dispensary-is-planned-in-midlothian-heres-where/article_614cbe82-ae97-53ff-99b3-576145ff9253.html	2022-07-28T02:00:07	1	https://richmond.com/business/local/a-cannabis-dispensary-is-planned-in-midlothian-heres-where/article_614cbe82-ae97-53ff-99b3-576145ff9253.html

Mayor Levar Stoney on Wednesday said he’s following state code by not releasing certain internal city documents related to a mass shooting plot that authorities said was planned on July 4 in Richmond. The Times-Dispatch has filed two Freedom of Information Act requests for emails and other documents from Stoney and Richmond police related to a July 6 news conference about the alleged plot and the arrest of two suspects. Other media outlets have filed similar document requests. Police Chief Gerald Smith said they were tipped off by a citizen who overheard a conversation about a shooting. Smith said the shooting was to have occurred during an Independence Day celebration at Dogwood Dell amphitheater. People are also reading… But a police spokeswoman later told television station WRIC-TV that the tip did not include a specific location. A court affidavit also doesn’t give a location for the shooting. Stoney’s office opted not to disclose several documents pertaining to the request, citing one of the 150 record exemptions outlined in the state’s open records act. The exemption allows elected officials to not make public documents that are for “personal or deliberative use,” available. “We are following the code of Virginia,” Stoney said Wednesday. However, the code Stoney referenced is permissive, not mandatory. The code states that records of this nature “may be disclosed by the custodian in his discretion, except where such disclosure is prohibited by law.” So although Stoney has the ability to release some personal records, the mayor has opted not to, as is consistent with FOIA law and the mayor’s own policy. “Those documents are protected and that’s always been our policy since day one, since I took office here in 2017,” said Stoney. The alleged Richmond shooting was to occur the same day a gunman opened fire during a July Fourth parade in suburban Chicago, killing multiple people.	https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/stoney-stands-by-not-releasing-alleged-july-fourth-shooting-plot-documents/article_9c42c120-e380-549e-baf2-fd2ccf384acd.html	2022-07-28T02:00:13	1	https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/stoney-stands-by-not-releasing-alleged-july-fourth-shooting-plot-documents/article_9c42c120-e380-549e-baf2-fd2ccf384acd.html

Virginia’s Jason Miyares is among more than 20 Republican attorneys general who are filing suit against President Joe Biden’s administration over a Department of Agriculture school meal program that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The challenge, led by Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery, claims that the federal government is attempting to force states and schools to follow antidiscrimination requirements that “misconstrue the law.” The coalition of attorneys general is 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. People are also reading… 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. “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.” Video released by police show a deeply scrutinized moment from a perspective never before seen. The images contrast the narrative told by police, a lawyer says. 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. 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 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. A spokesperson for the USDA did not immediately return a request for comment.	https://richmond.com/news/local/education/virginia-ag-others-sue-usda-over-lgbtq-school-guidance/article_4bcd3818-9fb6-5da7-bc95-9fc160e04712.html	2022-07-28T02:00:31	1	https://richmond.com/news/local/education/virginia-ag-others-sue-usda-over-lgbtq-school-guidance/article_4bcd3818-9fb6-5da7-bc95-9fc160e04712.html
Since resuming its five-day-a-week deliveries of fresh meals in March, Feed More’s Meals on Wheels program has been scrambling to return to pre-pandemic volunteer levels. The number of volunteers is still about 15% below what is needed to deliver meals on its 100 delivery routes each weekday, said Timothy Bothe, Feed More’s director of volunteer services. Gas prices and the economy in general are factors that could be affecting the willingness and availability of volunteers, he said. Helping to fill the gap are drivers for DoorDash, a food ordering and delivery platform, through a partnership DoorDash has with Feeding America, a national network of food banks. The drivers are paid for their time by DoorDash, but there is no cost to Feed More, Bothe said. “When not all of the shifts are filled, we’re able to supplement by booking DoorDashers to go and deliver those meals for us,” Bothe said in an interview Tuesday. People are also reading… Feed More’s Meal on Wheels needs about 100 drivers a day to serve about 1,000 clients daily across 10 counties and four cities in central Virginia. The program helps keep homebound seniors and residents with disabilities independent and in their homes for as long as possible by providing fresh, diet-specific, made-from-scratch meals in its Community Kitchen. When the pandemic hit, Feed More scaled back to weekly deliveries of frozen food to minimize person-to-person contact to ensure the safety of clients and volunteers, an approach that lasted for two years. When daily deliveries resumed earlier this year, the number of volunteers was about 25% short of what is needed. The numbers have been gradually improving, but one area that has not returned to pre-pandemic levels is volunteering from corporations and other groups. Before the pandemic, Meals on Wheels relied on local companies and other organizations to provide a regular percentage of volunteers, but “They have not really returned in full force,” Bothe said. Feed More offers about 200 volunteer shifts a day — half of them delivery drivers — but there also are needs in the community kitchen and warehouse, though less so in the warehouse at the moment, as food donations also have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Fewer canned food drives by corporations and schools is one obvious cause, Bothe said. On the bright side, financial contributions “have still been outstanding,” Bothe said. “We have been able to offset that decline of donated products with increases in financial donations,” he said. Canned goods are among the items put together in non-perishable “care” packages for the elderly and other homebound individuals as well as new mothers, Bothe said. “We’re still feeling the impact of the pandemic,” he said. “We saw a substantial increase in food insecurity when people lost their jobs and had to rely on food banks and food pantries and Meals on Wheels for their nutritional needs.” Volunteer drivers are particularly in need in Richmond, South Richmond, Chesterfield and the Tri-Cities area. Feed More would like volunteers who can commit to at least two shifts per month. All volunteer opportunities are Monday-Friday, during daytime hours.

ATLANTA — Editor's Note: The video above is an initial report of the crash. A woman has been formally charged in a deadly Atlanta crash that killed several people, including a baby and a child. Lashandra Murray is facing 16 separate counts after prosecutors said she was behind the wheel in a March 2020 crash near Bolton Road and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, a Fulton Superior Court indictment reads. Murray "lost control of the vehicle and crossed the center lane into oncoming traffic," according to Atlanta Police Department. Murray struck a MARTA bus in a Nissan Sentra, which forced the car to veer off the road and come to a crashing stop after striking a tree, according to authorities. Three people were ejected. Murray's actions killed Kareema Floyd, Kaniyah Floyd, Kejuan Floyd, Ashanti Hill, Keshundra Murray, the indictment alleges. Though court documents do not reveal the victims' ages, Atlanta Police crash investigators initially said the youngest passengers were 19 months old and 4 years old. Officers said the vehicle did not have car seats. In connection to the five people who died, the 36-year-old is facing two counts of homicide by vehicle in the first degree, for a total 10 counts. Murray is also charged with two counts of reckless conduct for the lack of child safety seats and one count of reckless driving, according to the indictment. Two counts of involuntary manslaughter are also listed in the document. Murray is also accused of misdemeanor driving under the influence of drugs. The indictment cites "there was an amount of tetrahydrocannabinol and fentanyl, both of which are controlled substances, present in her person to the extent it was less safe for her to drive." Atlanta Police originally said speed was a factor in the crash and said there were no signs of substance abuse. A calendar notice filed Monday shows the case is set for a plea and arraignment hearing on August 15.	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/driver-in-deadly-head-on-crash-marta-bus-indicted/85-d00191f9-ef2b-49c4-82fc-51a7bb682a3a	2022-07-28T02:04:08	0	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/driver-in-deadly-head-on-crash-marta-bus-indicted/85-d00191f9-ef2b-49c4-82fc-51a7bb682a3a
ATLANTA — Georgians live under the protections of the United States Constitution and also its own version in the state. In its inception, the document helped provide the framework for Georgia to transition from a colony to a state. During the Civil War, Georgia also revised its sacred document to reflect the interest of the newly formed Confederate States of America. As a living document, the state's constitution has seen revisions and the latest version of Georgia's Constitution was last adopted in November 1982, with its changes taking effect in July 1983. It outlines the rights of the state's residents, which, in simple terms, are 27 specific protections as explained in Section 1 of its Bill of Rights. Some of these protections include the right to keep and bear arms, the right to courts and the tradition of fishing and hunting. When faced with legal challenges, Georgia's Supreme Court weighs the state's constitution with respect to protected rights and Georgia's government makeup. Take a look at Georgia's Constitution below.	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/georgias-constitution/85-d0303040-d9d1-4173-88a8-a7b7d1c4d4b8	2022-07-28T02:04:10	0	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/georgias-constitution/85-d0303040-d9d1-4173-88a8-a7b7d1c4d4b8
LOGANVILLE, Ga. — A metro Atlanta family is calling for a school to be held accountable after they said their son was attacked on campus and had bleach thrown on him. The 15-year-old's parents claims Loganville High has done nothing to ensure their son will be safe this coming year – so they're taking drastic action themselves and moving out of the district. Angel Smith lights up when she talks about her son, Andrew, as she described him as an amazing child. However, he's had a hard time seeing himself in that light for the last few months. "It makes me feel good to hear how good of a support system I have and how highly they think of me. Because I don't feel as highly about myself," he said. It started in March when he was allegedly attacked by four members of an after-school club. According to police reports, the four students locked him in the bathroom, assaulted him and threw bleach on him. "At first when it happened, I was just thinking about it all of the time," Andrew said. "It was the only thing on my mind." Andrew said he screamed for help, but no one came. "It doesn't make you feel great at all, it makes you feel really worthless," he said. Other students reported the attack to school administration the next day, but Angel said the district never called her to tell her about what happened. The only information she got was from her son. "He just kept saying what had happened, and it just kept getting worse," she said. "We kept finding out more details to the story... it was just unbearable." All four students were charged with felonies. Two have already pleaded guilty but Angel said the school won't tell her whether the other two students, whose court cases haven't been resolved could be allowed on campus this fall. "What these kids did to Andrew was horrific. And it will have a long-lasting impact on him. But what these administrators did, it's unacceptable," Angel said. A spokesperson for the Walton County School District released the statement below: Following the incident at Loganville High School, school administrators followed district and state policy to complete an internal investigation. Based on the school's findings, the students involved were disciplined appropriately per the district's Student Code of Conduct. However, the school would not answer specific questions about whether that policy includes removing students facing felony charges from classrooms. Andrew thinks the district should be held accountable. "The administrators didn't do anything – the people who were supposed to be there to protect me and to protect all of the other kids," he said. "They didn't do their job." Their house is on the market now as the family plans to move to a new district so Andrew can get a fresh start. "To see that smile all the time, that's what I wish for him," Angel said. "He didn't deserve any of this."	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/loganville-high-student-bullied-poured-bleach/85-dad898ce-21f5-44b2-8811-c4c76ff7b6ee	2022-07-28T02:04:11	0	https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/loganville-high-student-bullied-poured-bleach/85-dad898ce-21f5-44b2-8811-c4c76ff7b6ee
US Highway 67 Project at PaulAnn and Tractor Trail now complete Nearly four years after it started, the U.S. Highway 67 Project at PaulAnn Boulevard and Tractor Trail has been completed, as motorists traveled on the overpass for the first time Tuesday afternoon. The project, which began in November 2018, is the largest one that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has completed in San Angelo, coming at a cost of around $40 million. Reece Albert Inc. was awarded the project. That stretch of the highway has now been updated to freeway standards. The Curtis J. Whitlock Memorial Overpass at Tractor Trail is named in honor of an employee who worked at TxDOT for more than 30 years. "He died of cancer during the production of this project," said Karen Threlkeld, the Public Information Officer for the San Angelo district. "He was here for the groundbreaking and I know he's still watching us build it." Threlkeld said the public has been anticipating the opening of the new overpass for some time now. "People that drive this area every day notice that it's looking almost finished, so people are aware," Threlkeld said. "It really upgrades this whole area, and the overpasses at PaulAnn and Tractor Trail really improves the saftey in the area."	https://www.gosanangelo.com/story/news/local/2022/07/27/us-highway-67-project-completed-san-angelo/65383996007/	2022-07-28T02:05:15	1	https://www.gosanangelo.com/story/news/local/2022/07/27/us-highway-67-project-completed-san-angelo/65383996007/
