A Chesterfield County man was charged by federal authorities this week with making straw purchases of four pistols for three different people, including two suspects who were not of legal age to buy a handgun.
Richmond police later recovered one of the guns in a homicide investigation, authorities said in court documents.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed a criminal information against Tre’Shawn N. Brooks, 22, on a charge of conspiring to make false statements in acquiring firearms. Brooks purchased the guns from federally licensed firearm dealers but falsely certified that he was the true buyer, authorities said.
Such a transaction is known as a straw purchase, a criminal act in which a firearm is bought by one person on behalf of another who is legally unable to make the purchase themselves.
According to charging documents, a Glock 17 9 mm semiautomatic pistol that Brooks purchased on April 9, 2021, from Town Police Supply in Chesterfield for a person described as co-conspirator 3 was recovered a month later by Richmond police during the execution of a search warrant in a homicide investigation.

Brooks later admitted he had sold the pistol to the person who asked him to buy it, authorities said in court papers.
Brooks purchased at least four guns — and in one case ammunition, too — for three co-conspirators from January through June of 2021. One of the buyers was a minor and another was under the legal age of 21 to purchase a handgun, according to court documents.
In the first case, a person described in court documents as co-conspirator 1 asked Brooks if he’d purchase a gun for him after work. Brooks agreed but during an exchange of text messages, Brooks said he was not going to purchase a gun “in my name for nobody for free.” But Brooks said he wouldn’t make the co-conspirator “pay full price either,” authorities said.
The next day, the co-conspirator texted Brooks, “Ik [I know] exactly what I want....They got my John Wick gun in my favorite color.”
Brooks then purchased a Walther 9 mm semiautomatic pistol on Jan. 21, 2021, from Southern Police Equipment in Chesterfield and provided the gun to co-conspirator 1, authorities said in court papers.
Thereafter, Brooks purchased on June 27, 2021, a Pioneer Arms Hellpup 7.62x39 caliber pistol from a licensed dealer at a gun show, which was later provided to co-conspirator 1, authorities said.
On July 21, 2021, law enforcement recovered the two guns Brooks purchased for co-conspirator 1, and Brooks admitted purchasing both for that person because he was not yet 21.
In another case, Brooks agreed to purchase a gun for co-conspirator 2, who was a “minor-aged individual” not eligible to purchase a gun from a licensed dealer, according to court documents.
On June 27, 2021, co-conspirator 2 sent Brooks a text message with the make and model of three guns in which he was interested. Within an hour, Brooks sent the person a text message that he had procured a Taurus 9 mm semiautomatic pistol from iShootFirearms, an online federally licensed dealer. Brooks also purchased ammunition for the gun at the co-conspirator’s request, authorities said.
Authorities later recovered the weapon in an enforcement operation.
Brooks is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Richmond on Aug. 9 for a plea agreement hearing. | https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/chesterfield-man-made-straw-purchases-of-4-guns-for-3-people-federal-authorities-say/article_fb776ce7-09aa-5f64-82cf-7e3a86fc800c.html | 2022-07-30T02:32:57 | 0 | https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/chesterfield-man-made-straw-purchases-of-4-guns-for-3-people-federal-authorities-say/article_fb776ce7-09aa-5f64-82cf-7e3a86fc800c.html |
Richmond’s top prosecutor said Friday that she will not pursue criminal charges against police officers for their handling of protests at the Robert E. Lee and J.E.B. Stuart monuments two years ago.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Colette McEachin in a statement said: “There is no criminal liability or culpability for any individual officer who appropriately followed an order in the chain of command that was lawful but, with hindsight, in error.”
Calls to representatives of the Richmond Police Department and Mayor Levar Stoney were not immediately returned Friday night.

Police on June 1, 2020, deployed tear gas on a crowd that gathered at the monuments after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer the week before. The use happened before an 8 p.m. curfew took effect. The curfew was established after two previous days of looting and other violence.
Police recently said the use of chemical agents was not warranted and apologized. Police Chief William Smith also resigned.
Body cam videos, police documents and other records related to the case are being made public by the Library of Virginia. The release is part of a legal settlement between the city and plaintiffs who say police used excessive force.
McEachin on Friday released a seven-page review of materials related to the case, including a timeline of events. It pointed to confusion on police radio traffic about what was happening at the two monuments about 500 feet apart from each other.
“The overwhelming majority of the conversations simply referred to ‘the monument.’ This lack of clarity contributed to the overall confusion and chaos,” the report said.
The timeline said two men climbed atop the Stuart monument and used hacksaws on the legs of the statue’s horse at 7:31 p.m. Two others threw a rope on the statue.
Police department leaders, which included Smith, approved a request from a sergeant to use tear gas or oleoresin capsicum spray, referred to in the report as “OC gas.”
But neither the sergeant or others specified at which location a chemical agent was authorized, the report said.
“The authorization to deploy OC gas had nothing to do with the 8 p.m. curfew,” the document said. “Officers did not deploy OC gas to preempt the curfew, which had not yet gone into effect for that night. OC gas was mistakenly deployed at the Lee monument because of the dangerous conduct that was actually occurring at the Stuart monument.”
Having received permission to deploy tear gas, an officer threw a canister into the crowd at the Lee statue at around 7:35 p.m.
The McEachin report comes after the library recently released footage of the police response to the unrest. The Richmond Times-Dispatch during an unrelated news conference on Wednesday asked Stoney about the footage.
“I believe this is a learning opportunity,” Stoney said. “A learning opportunity not just for city government, it’s a learning opportunity for the Richmond Police Department, for our city at large and for other communities to learn from.”
Police initially had said the use of chemical agents was necessary to keep officers safe. Richmond police this month retracted their statement from two years ago, saying “it does appear, at the time tear gas was initially dispersed at the Lee monument, that the crowd was peaceful.”
The review included internal reports, an incident action plan, police radio transcripts, footage from a police airplane, drone footage and body cam footage.
McEachin, who was elected in November 2019, said the conduct of protesters, the large crowd at the Lee statue, and ambiguity and confusion in police communications were the primary factors that led to officers’ decision-making.
“The officers who deployed the OC at both the Lee and Stuart monuments did so only after receiving a lawful order and authorization,” McEachin wrote.
Although no single officer was deemed accountable in McEachin’s view, she said Smith was held responsible for his orders to deploy the gas “by being removed from office on June 16, 2020.”
“It is deeply unfortunate that, given the multiple levels of miscommunication and confusion detailed above, no one in command was able to observe the entire circumference of the Lee statue during those four minutes, realize that no one was on top of that statue or trying to pull it down, and reevaluate the situation prior to OC being deployed at the Lee monument,” the report said. | https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/richmond-prosecutor-wont-charge-officers-who-used-tear-gas-on-monument-protesters/article_254f99ac-00a5-55f3-9a16-3cdf1fd1eadd.html | 2022-07-30T02:33:03 | 1 | https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/richmond-prosecutor-wont-charge-officers-who-used-tear-gas-on-monument-protesters/article_254f99ac-00a5-55f3-9a16-3cdf1fd1eadd.html |
The Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site is unveiling two new educational films for first- and fourth-graders in late August on YouTube.
Written and produced by Richmond filmmaker Morgan Avery McCoy Harris, the films build on Standards of Learning, bringing Walker’s story to life. Walker was the first African American woman to charter a bank and serve as its president. She was also a businesswoman, newspaper editor and civil rights advocate.
In the first-grade film, “Blast into the Past: Meet Mrs. Maggie L. Walker,” Walker (portrayed by Kesha Afrika Lucas) grants an interview to a young Junior Ranger who has traveled in a time machine to meet her hero and ask questions for her student newspaper.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at (804) 365-6140 or the Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000.
The fourth-grade film, “Maggie Walker Explains Jim Crow,” features Walker meeting three present-day students, explaining the injustices and institutionalized racism she and other Black Americans faced during her lifetime and how she challenged that system.
“Maggie Walker’s life and legacy serve as a powerful reminder to all of us of the power of individuals to change history,” said Doyle Sapp, superintendent of the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, in a statement.
Both films will be available by late August on the park’s YouTube page at MaggieWalkerNPS — YouTube and on the park’s website at nps.gov/mawa. Teachers can also request to borrow a DVD by emailing Park Ranger Ben Anderson at Benjamin_Anderson@nps.gov.
The Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site is at 200 N. Second St. in Jackson Ward. It’s comprised of Walker’s historic home and several surrounding buildings. For more information, call (804) 226-5041 or visit www.nps.gov/mawa.

Richmond police are investigating the death of a woman early Friday on the Powhite Parkway and Downtown Expressway interchange.
The woman at about 12:12 a.m. had gotten out of a disabled vehicle that was stopped in the left southbound lane in the interchange, police said.
A sedan traveling southbound hit her in the left lane of the freeway. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the other vehicle remained at the scene. The man, who was the only person in the vehicle, was not hurt. No charges had been filed as of Friday. Two people in the other vehicle also were not injured, police said.

'The water has to go somewhere': Flood watch continues in Flagstaff after week of heavy rain
Flagstaff residents most at risk for flooding have worked endlessly over the past month to best prepare themselves and their properties for fast-moving flood waters flowing off the wildfire burn areas from the recent Pipeline Fire.
With sandbags and concrete barriers fortifying their properties, now these residents are left to deal with the anxiety that comes with not knowing exactly when or where the rain will fall.
Most recently, houses along U.S. 180 near Schultz Creek, particularly Stevanna Way, have become inundated with feet of water, mud and debris after relatively minor rainfalls came down the west side of the Pipeline Fire burn scar.
"We're hoping for the best and expecting the worst," said Battalion Chief Dave Wilson, of the Flagstaff Fire Department, as his crew surveyed the street's damage Friday morning.
The National Weather Service reported Friday that a flash flood watch remains in effect for all of northern Arizona until Saturday morning.
Previously: Flagstaff mayor declares state of emergency; shelter-in-place order issued
"An active monsoon pattern will continue through the weekend with scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms expected," according to a weather service forecast for Flagstaff. "Beginning next week, a slight downward trend in thunderstorm coverage is expected.
"Flash flooding will remain the main threat during this time," the forecast continued.
After less than an inch of rain fell Wednesday, Stevanna Way was flooded with about three feet of standing water after storm drains became clogged with sediment and debris.
To clear the water, fire crews and volunteer citizens had to dig a trench four feet deep and at least 75 feet long to divert the water through a resident's yard and down into a forest clearing.
"The water is going to flow so its just a matter of trying to minimize the damage to the houses as much as possible," Wilson said. "Unfortunately, whenever you put a barrier up of any type the water has to go somewhere."
On Friday morning, Stevanna Way residents, firefighters and other volunteers continued to clean up the mud left behind from the earlier storms. Still, the sky was full of dark clouds, a hint at what was yet to come.
"People are preparing, they're putting sandbags in front of their homes and planning for the worst," Wilson said.
Starting around 1:45 p.m. Friday, rains began on the south side of town before moving across the city. Within an hour, the rain gauge just above Stevanna Way already recorded around an inch of rain.
Shortly thereafter, Coconino County issued a shelter in place order for this area and the surrounding neighborhoods as heavy rains continued.
"We need the rain, it's just the fires that have thrown a giant monkey wrench into everything," Wilson said.

Longtime Fond du Lac County judge Dale English will resign in December
FOND DU LAC - A longtime Fond du Lac County judge will resign in December.
Judge Dale L. English will leave his position Dec. 1, according to an announcement Friday by Gov. Tony Evers' office. English has been a Fond du Lac County judge since 1996. His term would have expired in 2026.

Allen County residents won’t see a referendum on issuing up to $98.5 million in Allen County Public Library bonds on the ballot in November.
The referendum was discussed as a way to pay for the library’s extensive facilities master plan, which was adopted in late April. But no one formally objected to the borrowing, so a referendum became unnecessary, said Susan Baier, library executive director.
The facilities plan includes building new library branches in the Huntertown area, in Aboite Township and on the north and southeast sides of Fort Wayne. The two new Fort Wayne libraries would replace the existing Dupont and Shawnee locations.
The plan also calls for the Georgetown branch to be expanded or for a new building to be constructed nearby if expansion isn’t feasible. The Waynedale, Hessen Cassel and Grabill branches would all see renovations and/or small-scale expansions. Small-scale changes are also planned for other branches.
The building projects will likely take eight to 11 years, library board officials said this year.
Library officials published a May 3 public legal notice setting out the procedure for contesting the financing plan. Those against the bond issue had 30 days to collect at least 500 valid signatures of county residents on petitions and turn them in to county election officials in order to force a referendum.
But that did not happen, Baier said Friday. She added she was informed by election officials in an early June email there were no petitions filed.
The bond issue now will need to be approved only by Allen County Council, Baier said. She said it’s unclear when that vote will occur, but it likely will be in the next few months.
People who oppose the bond issue can persuade council members to vote against it, said attorney Pete Mallers of Fort Wayne, the library’s general counsel. But there will be no direct way for the general public to defeat borrowing via the bond.
Martin Seifert, capital projects chairman, said Thursday library officials are determining construction plan details and staging for the projects and the financing. Issuing more than one bond hasn’t been ruled out.
Baier said library officials plan to use the next few weeks to gather more public input and present the plan to more organizations. The library plans to designate about $26 million in savings and expected funds from the sale of library properties toward the projects.
She said groups who’d like to hear more details about the project or individuals with questions or comments can reach her at librarydirector@acpl.org. The facilities master plan – 200 pages long – is online at youracpl.org.
The plan was completed before Allen County residents faced the prospect of needing to spend up to $350 million on a new jail because of a mandate from a federal judge, who ruled the current facility violated prisoners’ constitutional rights.
How the two expenses will mesh is unclear.
A library consultant in June said a homeowner with a homestead assessed at $100,000 would see a property tax increase of $1.10 a month or $13.17 a year from the bond issue. For a homeowner at the county’s median assessed value of $136,700, the monthly increase would be $1.90 a month or $22.76 a year. For those who own commercial properties, including rental homes, the increases would be higher.
Baier said residents appear willing to invest in branches.
“People are really showing overwhelming support for the libraries,” she said. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/library-borrowing-wont-go-to-november-referendum/article_f65c65e0-0f7c-11ed-beb2-53df7ce97e8b.html | 2022-07-30T02:48:45 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/library-borrowing-wont-go-to-november-referendum/article_f65c65e0-0f7c-11ed-beb2-53df7ce97e8b.html |
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Authorities are investigating two suspicious deaths after a man and woman were reportedly found dead in an Oregon City apartment.
Oregon City Police Department said officers were dispatched to a welfare check at Tuscany Villa Apartments on Holmes Lane on Thursday. Once they arrived, offices say they found a 42-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man dead inside.
Both deaths have been ruled “suspicious” and the investigation remains ongoing, OCPD said.
OCPD said they will not release additional details at this time, but noted no information suggests a risk to the public. | https://www.koin.com/local/clackamas-county/2-found-dead-in-oregon-city-suspicious-death-investigation-underway/ | 2022-07-30T02:49:25 | 1 | https://www.koin.com/local/clackamas-county/2-found-dead-in-oregon-city-suspicious-death-investigation-underway/ |
DALLAS — Kyle Dail was shot and killed late Thursday after officers investigated complaints about drug deals outside LBJ Food Mart in the 13000 block of Jupiter Road.
Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia said an undercover officer saw the 30-year-old making multiple hand-to-hand drug sales. Garcia said the officer followed Dail who took off in a Nissan Versa.
The officer, Garcia said, saw a traffic violation and tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver didn't stop.
Later that night, Garcia said, Dail returned to the gas station, where an officer recognized him as the suspect who refused to stop for police.
Officers approached Dail from behind and attempted to arrest him.
Garcia said during that struggle, Dail pulled a handgun from his front pants pocket and raised it in the air in front of Officer Hoffman’s face.
Dail transitions the weapon from his right hand to his left hand, throws the weapon down another aisle in the business. A moment later, officer Hoffman fires his weapon.
Dail died the next day.
His sister, Kinesha Dail, said she doesn't believe her brother threatened anybody.
“He fell back like a paperweight,” she said. "Not only did you do one shot, you did three shots,” she said in tears, talking about officer Thomas Hoffman, who Garcia said fired the shots. “He couldn’t defend himself at all. Now i got four nieces and nephews that gotta grow up without their daddy."
Kinesha told WFAA she does not believe her brother tried to shoot anyone, but was just trying to get rid of the again.
“Not believe, I know,” Kinesha said. “He just didn’t want another gun charge. And that shouldn’t took his life.”
David Thomas, retired police officer and professor of Forensic Studies at Florida Gulf Coast university reviewed the video and told WFAA he believes the officer did the right thing.
Thomas said even though the officer fired after the gun was tossed, it happened just a quick moment after.
“It takes about two seconds for the brain to register that there is a change in the dynamic,” Thomas said. “So if I'm already engaged, and let's say I have my gun out, I'm focused on that gun, I can't stop that motor action. I'm already moving forward, I can't stop it until after in most instances that the shots had been fired, it takes two seconds to recover.”
Kinesha, though, isn’t buying it, and said she’ll continue to fight for her brother.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Garth Brooks needs no introduction to Dallas-Fort Worth. The best selling solo artist credits North Texas for his success in country music. His career now spans more than four decades dating back to 1989 at Billy Bobs, and the Texas State Fair and Texas Stadium in the 90s.
"If people accept you in Dallas, in country music, you got a good shot at having a great career," Brooks told WFAA.
Brooks met with media the day before his big show at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. He says he loves playing at large venues and small intimate ones.
"The thing that makes a spot a spot is the people that are in it," he said.
He tells WFAA it's the people who make his shows. Brooks says he hasn't sang one song in almost 25 years.
"Friends in Low Places; I haven't had to sing it. All you gotta do is play those first four notes and then watch! It's the greatest thing," he said, laughing.
Garth is married to another country superstar in Trisha Yearwood, who has also had an illustrious career in music while dabbling in acting, hosting baking shows, and starting a pet food brand.
"You've heard of lifers. She's kind of one of those, I found you in this life and I'll find you in the next one. It's funny. She's the one that can put the cape on you and the one who can break you into a billion pieces," Brooks said, choking up.
The AT&T Stadium stop is part of his Stadium Tour across the country. He says there is no venue like it.
"Size does matter. When you have 80,000 people singing 'The River' or 'Friends in Low Places'- That's a pretty sweet thing to get to witness," he said.
"In March 2019, Garth launched The Stadium Tour, which has broken stadium attendance records at every stop on the tour so far. In January 2020, Billboard announced that Garth Brooks was the first artist to make it on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in the '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s and now '20s. Garth debuted "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)" in 1989." read a statement from his press release.
Texas holds a special place in Brooks' heart. He says he's grateful a singer from Oklahoma has been embraced like he has. He says he will wait to decide which venue he likes better between Texas Stadium and AT&T Stadium, reserving judgement until he sees how things play out on Saturday.
"Texas Stadium is going to be hard to beat. For one, it was open. The sound will be better if they open the roof. So, we'll see if we can get them to crack it a little bit."
DFW will show up like it always has for Garth. After his Houston stop, he will head overseas to Dublin, Ireland. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/garth-perform-att-stadium-saturday-texas-stadium-going-be-hard-beat/287-3c6a80d4-a65b-43e2-ae54-8cf13096a66a | 2022-07-30T02:57:07 | 1 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/garth-perform-att-stadium-saturday-texas-stadium-going-be-hard-beat/287-3c6a80d4-a65b-43e2-ae54-8cf13096a66a |
In the days immediately after the Big L fire scorched 80% of her family's ranch, Amy Houston leaned on the community for help.
"There were six homes that were burned on my road and other ranchers who all got feed for their animals, supplies to rebuild fences," Houston said. "A lot of emergency needs that people needed just to be able to get up and run their day-to-day operations. And so I can say that without their support, without their connections, without their help, a lot of us would not be up and running today."
It is support that came from a group of volunteers formed just days before, when flames devastated communities in Eastland County.
“There was a Facebook page that was created to kind of gather people who were wanting to donate resources,” said Morgan Broome.
Soon, Broome said it evolved into a movement.
"It kind of just took off from there,” she said.
Coined Rancher Navy, the group of volunteers has been buoyed by support from just about every corner of the state. In the wake of her own tragedy, Houston joined the cause to help collect supplies for volunteer fire departments.
Local
The latest news from around North Texas.
“A lot of different places have stepped up and donated water and Liquid IV and baby wipes, just all the necessary supplies that these volunteer firemen and women need,” said Houston.
Especially as they have fought a seemingly endless number of wildfires this year.
“If you look at the maps and look at the wildfires that we have currently, it's a really heartbreaking situation. But I can say that, as you know, the scale of the disaster is as big as the state of Texas, but so has the response been from the community,” said Broome.
Since March, Rancher Navy estimates its donated 43,000 bales of hay, 700 tons of feed and helped more than 450 families.
“I hope someday that we don't have this need. But currently, that's what our need is, and that is what we are going to do. We are going to wake up every morning and fulfill as much of those needs as we can,” said Houston.
For now, Rancher Navy said its relief efforts have been focused in the north central part of the state, but volunteers are ready to help anywhere in Texas where they're needed. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/as-the-number-of-wildfires-grows-across-texas-so-does-the-volunteer-effort-to-help/3035815/ | 2022-07-30T03:03:57 | 1 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/as-the-number-of-wildfires-grows-across-texas-so-does-the-volunteer-effort-to-help/3035815/ |
The last survivor of the Uvalde elementary school massacre was released from the hospital on Friday.
At University Hospital in San Antonio, they lined the hallways in a grand sendoff for 10-year-old Mayah Zamora.
She passed out donated roses to nurses and other hospital staffers as she headed home.
Meanwhile, in a YouTube video, Uvalde superintendent Hal Harrell showed off new fencing being installed at all the district's schools.
"Crews and contractors have been working hard to transition from our current chain-link fence to our new 8-foot fence,” Harrell said.
The superintendent promised security improvements, including a new camera system.
"Their first stop is here at Uvalde High School but every campus is going to get enhanced camera coverage on their campuses,” he said.
The plan is to tear down Robb Elementary, the site of the massacre.
Principal Mandy Gutierrez was reinstated Thursday after she was placed on leave.
That's according to her attorney, who told Austin NBC station KXAN that she never ignored complaints about door locks not working.
"The policy of the school, she enforced it,” attorney Ricardo Cedillo said. “She would counsel them. If they did it again, she would write them up."
In the YouTube video, the superintendent said the district is looking forward to the new school year which starts the day after Labor Day.
"Always, always, always remember, I believe in you. I will continue to pray for a brighter future for Uvalde and together we will move forward,” Harrell said. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/final-survivor-of-uvalde-massacre-goes-home-from-hospital/3035811/ | 2022-07-30T03:03:58 | 0 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/final-survivor-of-uvalde-massacre-goes-home-from-hospital/3035811/ |
Keizer man's murder conviction in wife's slaying overturned for second time by state court of appeals
A Keizer man who pled guilty to murdering his wife in 2011 had his conviction overturned for the second time after the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that prosecutors inappropriately questioned an expert witness.
Peter J. Zielinski is serving a life sentence for fatally shooting his wife, Lisa Zielinski, 38. He believed his wife was having an affair with a co-worker.
Marion County Deputy District Attorney Amy Queen said in an email that once an appellate judgment is entered, Zielinski will likely be transported to Marion County Jail pending trial. The appeals court ruling was issued earlier this month.
Zielinski pleaded guilty to the murder in 2013, but the conviction was overturned in 2017 after the appeals court determined Zielinski’s anxiety disorder should have been allowed to be involved in the defense arguments.
Zielinski went on trial again in 2019, saying he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from his service in the U.S. Marines. He was again convicted and received a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole in 25 years.
The appeals court found that Marion County Circuit Court Judge Susan Tripp improperly allowed the deputy district attorney to examine the past clients of an expert witness during the second trial.
The Oregon Department of Justice is reviewing the decision and has not decided whether to seek further review. | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2022/07/29/keizer-mans-murder-conviction-overturned-for-second-time/65385707007/ | 2022-07-30T03:06:15 | 0 | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2022/07/29/keizer-mans-murder-conviction-overturned-for-second-time/65385707007/ |
Keizer mother and daughter charged for roles in international drug trafficking conspiracy
A Keizer mother and daughter are facing federal charges for their alleged roles in an international drug trafficking conspiracy.
Jennifer McConnon, 48, and Sydney Sleight, 22, were both members of a large international drug trafficking organization based in India, according to a news release from the U.S Attorney's Office in Oregon.
Both have been charged with conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances and possessing with intent to distribute controlled substances.
The leader of McConnon and Sleight's drug distribution organization was unnamed but referred to as "Bunny Jinn" in the release and has also been indicted.
Jinn would export packages of real and counterfeit pills from India into the U.S where McConnon and Sleight would receive them and then store them in Keizer, the release said. The two distributed the substances throughout the country. The pills included real and counterfeit Tapentadol, Lorazepam, Alprazolam, Clonazepam, Diazepam, Carisoprodol, Ketamine and Tramadol.
More than 275 drug parcels were received by the duo via a post office box.
McConnon was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Her first federal court appearance was Friday. She has been released pending a five day jury trial scheduled to begin Sept. 13.
Sleight's first court appearance has not been scheduled.
Both face maximum sentences of 20 years in federal prison. | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2022/07/30/keizer-mother-and-daughter-face-federal-drug-trafficking-charges/65387140007/ | 2022-07-30T03:06:21 | 1 | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2022/07/30/keizer-mother-and-daughter-face-federal-drug-trafficking-charges/65387140007/ |
DUNMORE, Pa. — The cases for two high school students from Lackawanna County charged with plotting a Columbine-inspired attack have been transferred to the juvenile system.
According to the District Attorney, the Dunmore High School students were originally charged as adults due to the serious nature of the threats.
Their alleged plot was discovered back in September.
A judge determined the two were amenable to treatment in the juvenile justice system.

SCRANTON, Pa. — A celebration at Nay Aug Park in Scranton marked the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's been 32 years since the federal law gave people with disabilities the right to the same opportunities as people without.
"We've made a lot of progress towards the inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities, sidewalks, buildings, all types of public and private structures," said Keith Williams, Lackawanna County Disability Action Committee.
"We don't want special treatment. We just want to be able to enjoy the types of things everyone else gets to enjoy. That's employment, architecture, everything the Americans with disabilities act talks about," said Bob Fox, Center for Independent Living.
Nicholas Carr's life changed in 2017 when he was paralyzed following a car crash. He now uses a wheelchair to get around.
He says had it not been for the ADA, he wouldn't be able to live a normal life and go to college and continue to pursue his dreams.
"Every day I'm living, I realize how wide my abilities can reach and how far, and I know I'll have a future that's worth pursuing," said Nicholas Carr, Clarks Summit.
A lot of progress has been made over the last 30-plus years for those with disabilities, but advocates say there's still a lot of room for improvement.
"I think sometimes this is the forgotten population, and it's important that everyone remember as a community that we're in this together, and to have the recognition and the proclamations today was very critical," said Kelly Brown, Center for Independent Living.
The folks at this gathering say raising awareness also provides an opportunity for businesses to attract more customers by making areas accessible for people with disabilities.

WISCASSET, Maine — For a military combatant, the airplane is surprisingly small and light. Two men easily wheel the reproduction, Sopwith Camel, out of the hangar and onto the ramp at the Wiscasset Municipal Airport.
The one-seat aircraft weighs less than 900 pounds, engine and all.
And for Nick Knobil, building the plane from a kit has fulfilled a longtime dream.
“As a kid, I was always interested in airplanes. I built a lot of model airplanes,” Knobil says, standing beside the real-life plane that also came in a box.
He adds that he has long been interested in planes from what he calls the “golden age” of aviation, back when airplanes were new and developing, just in time for World War One.
Enter the British designed and built Sopwith Camel, perhaps the best known Allied airplane of WWI.
“The Sopwith Camel, I think, shot down more enemy aircraft than any other design in World War One.”
Aficionados of the Peanuts comic strip will also recall that Snoopy, as the WWI flying ace, daydreamed on his doghouse of piloting the Camel against the notorious Red Baron.
All of that led Knobil to order the kit three years ago and have it delivered to his hangar at the airport.
“It came in one big box, but required a great deal of fabrication, a bunch of raw aluminum, and the steel fuselage, welded up," he said.
Knobil says it took three years for him and a few airport friends to transform the pile of raw material into a working airplane.
That process included bending and shaping the aluminum into the framework for the fabric-covered wings and parts of the fuselage, then installing a control cable, the engine, and finally the fabric covering.
The airplane then had to pass a five-hour FAA inspection to be approved for flight.
The big moment came last weekend.
Knobil had taxied the plane around the airport grass several times before, but was finally ready to take to the air.
He says he was confident of the construction, in part because of some very skilled friends who worked with him. But, as a pilot, Knobil says his training took control.
“Nervous isn’t the right word. I was very focused on what I was going to do if there was any misadventure on the aircraft, where I was going to go if something broke or the engine quit.”
None of those things happened. A video by Jeff Hunter, who helped build the plane, shows the Sopwith Camel replica taking off and climbing smoothly into the air.
“I loved it,” Hunter said, explaining how he was standing on the edge of the runway with his phone camera, a radio, and a fire extinguisher — just in case.
Then, choking up a bit even days later, says it was a moving experience.
“It was truly overwhelming to see it fly the first time… I didn’t expect that.”
Knobil says that once takeoff was over and the plane was stable and flying, he could enjoy it, too.
“[It was] awesome. Like Snoopy on the doghouse, that’s how I felt. Here’s the World War One ace,” he laughs.
There’s work still to be done. The airplane’s engine has an overheating problem, which may require a few modifications to correct. He is confident that it will be taken care of soon, and flying will resume.
When it's fixed, Knobil intends to fly the plane to the Owls Head Transportation Museum, near Rockland. Some of the old-plane experts from the museum helped him rig the wire cables that hold the biplane’s wings in alignment.
He wants them to see the final product, in flight.
But there is another piece of that trip.
The museum owns a reproduction of a WWI Fokker triplane, the kind used by the famous Red Baron. That airplane was also built in Maine some years ago, and rebuilt at the museum over the past three years.
The Fokker and Sopwith Camel dueled for real in the skies over Europe, 125 years ago. The Red Baron was also Snoopy’s cartoon nemesis.
Knobil, sitting in the Camel’s cockpit with a leather helmet and goggles, says he is ready to meet the bigger plane.
“At first it will be me and Brad [the Fokker pilot]. He’s been talking trash for several years," he said. "Hurry up and get that plane finished, I have some business with you.”
Nick made it clear that he and his homebuilt biplane, fake machine guns and all, are ready for the challenge. | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/aviation-history-recreated-as-pilot-builds-his-own-plane-aircraft-build-historic-maine-wiscasset-airplane-sopwith-camel-red-baron-snoopy/97-52214ad5-743c-4f56-8221-5d5a1992cea6 | 2022-07-30T03:30:23 | 1 | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/aviation-history-recreated-as-pilot-builds-his-own-plane-aircraft-build-historic-maine-wiscasset-airplane-sopwith-camel-red-baron-snoopy/97-52214ad5-743c-4f56-8221-5d5a1992cea6 |
ROANOKE, Va. – If you’ve traveled near Roanoke’s Valley View Mall recently, you might have noticed newly-painted green bike lanes – This is the latest project for Roanoke’s Department of Transportation.
The bike lanes are on each side of traffic, measuring five feet in width.
Cyclists in the area, like Robert Issem, are especially excited about this project.
“These bike lanes are an extension of our Lick Run Greenway, so it enables users to comfortably use these streets to access all of the beautiful things here. We’ve got all these stores and opportunities for dining,” said Issem.
Issem also serves as Roanoke’s Complete Streets and Vision Zero Coordinator for the Department of Transportation. He went on to say that the bright green color is a change he’s happy to see.
“As a cyclist I much prefer a lane to be painted bright green rather than two white stripes on the side of the road. I know it alerts drivers more effectively to my presence on the road, so I feel more comfortable,” said Issem.
The bright green color is to enhance the visibility of the bike lane, so drivers can stay aware and cyclists can feel safe while traveling along the roadway.
And the addition of bike lanes is an initiative Roanoke has been working on for a number of years.
“We have installed about 40 to 50 miles of bike lanes currently. We will continue to install bike lanes wherever we can and continue to promote multi-modal, bicycles, walking, and pedestrian crossings,” said Roanoke Traffic Engineer, Hong Liu.
Ninth Street and Shenandoah Avenue could possibly be the next locations for new bike lanes. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/30/new-green-bike-lanes-in-roanoke-promote-cyclist-safety/ | 2022-07-30T03:35:49 | 1 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/30/new-green-bike-lanes-in-roanoke-promote-cyclist-safety/ |

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — Gov. Jim Justice has released a statement regarding his personal income tax cut bill dying in the West Virginia State Senate.
In a press release, he says:
“I continue to believe with all in me that West Virginia can be like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee – with a booming economy and population, built on people moving into states with no personal income tax. We have the best people, best natural resources, four of the best seasons, and are located within a rock’s throw of two-thirds of our country’s population. Without a personal income tax, our potential is limitless.”
Gov. Jim Justice (R) West Virginia
Gov. Justice proposed a 10% personal income tax reduction on July 6, which he says would put $254 million, “back into the hands of the people of West Virginia.”
The West Virginia House passed the income tax cut bill 78-7 on Thursday.
Just one day later, the bill proposed stalled in the state Senate.
Senate President Craig Blair has decided not to hold a vote on the tax cut bill. He tells 13 News that he wants to wait until November when voters will decide whether to give the state legislature the authority to eliminate the state’s personal property tax and the business and inventory tax.
He said the state cannot afford to eliminate those as well as cut the state income tax, but, if the ballot measure that would give the legislature such authority does not pass in November, the legislature could revisit the income tax cut proposal.
The proposed tax cut would have been retroactive to Jan. 1, 2022, and Gov. Justice said it would have put $254 million back into the pockets of West Virginians. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/gov-justice-responds-to-personal-income-tax-cut-bill-dying-in-wv-senate/ | 2022-07-30T03:39:28 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/gov-justice-responds-to-personal-income-tax-cut-bill-dying-in-wv-senate/ |
CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — The West Virginia State Senate has passed the abortion clarification bill in a 21-10 vote. It now goes back to the House of Delegates and, if they agree on changes made, it will go to Gov. Jim Justice.
The bill still has exceptions for rape and incest.
The West Virginia House of Delegates passed the bill on Wednesday, July 27, in a 69-23 vote.
The bill calls for a ban on abortion along with making it illegal for doctors to perform abortions and also give out abortion medications. It says it will not punish the mother.
The exceptions in the bill are for fetal anomalies, ectopic pregnancies and medical emergencies. An amendment was also added on Wednesday by the West Virginia House that would allow for exceptions for rape and incest as long as certain criteria are met. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/west-virginia-senate-passes-abortion-clarification-bill/ | 2022-07-30T03:39:34 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/west-virginia-senate-passes-abortion-clarification-bill/ |
HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) – A former Tri-Cities state lawmaker wants to be the next attorney general of Tennessee.
Jerome Cochran represented Carter County as a state representative in General Assembly from 2002 to 2006. He has been an administrative law judge based in Middle Tennessee for seven years.
Cochran is one of six men – all attorneys – who applied for the job. On Friday, the Tennessee Supreme Court announced the names and set a timetable for interviews and a final selection.
“I think my experience makes me qualified to be the attorney general of Tennessee,” Cochran told News Channel 11 in an interview Friday night.
The Tennessee Supreme Court will choose the replacement for Attorney General Herbert Slatery, who announced he would not seek another term.
“The attorney general is the people’s lawyer in Tennessee,” Cochran said. “It’s a job that touches everyone’s life.”
Cochran said Tennessee is the only state in the nation that allows the state’s highest court to choose the state’s chief legal officer.
“Essentially you need the vote of three judges and you become attorney general of the State of Tennessee for eight years,” he said.
The six applicants are:
- Donald Q. Cochran, Jr.
- Jerome Cochran
- D. Michael Dunavant
- Culver Schmid
- Jonathan Thomas Skrmetti
- Bill Young
All the candidates except Cochran have experience in district, state, or federal legal roles. He said his background as a small town attorney, a state lawmaker, and an administrative law judge will bring a different and needed perspective.
“Just simply because you don’t represent the governor in Nashville or used to be a former U.S. attorney working in federal courts all the time here, that there are other lawyers who are just as qualified and they can handle the job also,” he said.
The Tennessee Supreme Court will conduct interviews Aug. 8–9 and then appoint the next attorney general.
The Supreme Court outlined the attorney general’s chief responsibilities in a news release Friday.
“As the chief legal officer of the state, the Attorney General and Reporter represents state officers and agencies and manages a staff of approximately 340 employees working in five offices across Tennessee. The Office of the Attorney General represents the State in criminal appeals and defends the State in civil actions in state and federal court. The Office also has the authority to investigate and prosecute civil actions for environmental enforcement, antitrust violations, Medicaid fraud, and consumer fraud. The Office has four major divisions – Civil Litigation (Civil Law, Environmental, Real Property & Transportation), Criminal Justice (Criminal Appeals, Federal Habeas Corpus, Law Enforcement & Special Prosecutions), State Services and Litigation (Education & Employment, Financial, Health Care, Public Interest, Tax) and Public Protection (Bankruptcy, Consumer Protection, Tobacco Enforcement).”
Tennessee Supreme Court news release
Cochran said if chosen, he will remain politically neutral.
“I’m there to enforce the laws that the Tennessee legislature passes,” he said. “I’m not there to make laws or give my personal opinion about what the laws should be.”
The new term for the Attorney General starts Sept. 1. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/former-state-rep-jerome-cochran-among-6-applicants-for-tn-attorney-general/ | 2022-07-30T03:42:27 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/former-state-rep-jerome-cochran-among-6-applicants-for-tn-attorney-general/ |
GARY — Lake County dispatchers received a report of a homicide in the 1300 block of Roosevelt Street about 4:15 p.m. Friday.

Flood watch continues in Flagstaff after week of heavy rains

Massachusetts man arrested on suspicion of making bomb threat against Ariz. election official
A Massachusetts man has been arrested on suspicion of making a bomb threat to a state election official in the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office last year.
According to the Justice Department, James W. Clark, 38, used a message submission form on the Secretary of State’s website to demand the resignation of the attorney general and threatened to detonate an explosive device if that didn’t occur.
“Your attorney general needs to resign by Tuesday February 16th by 9 am or the explosive device impacted in her personal space will be detonated,” Clark wrote to the election official on February 14, 2021, according to the Justice Department.
An indictment, filed on July 26, says Clark also searched for the election official’s address online, as well as “how to kill” the election official. Clark also, according to the indictment, used search terms referencing the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, a domestic terrorist attack that killed three and injured more than 200 people.
Clark is being charged with one count of making a bomb threat, one count of perpetrating a bomb hoax and one count of communicating an interstate threat.
He faces a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison for making a bomb threat and up to five years for the remaining charges.
The case is part of the Justice Department’s Election Threats Task Force, established last summer to address a rise in threats against election officials and workers. FBI Phoenix is investigating the case, with the assistance of FBI Lakeville (Mass.).
In July, two top election officials in Yavapai County resigned, citing a year and a half of threats and criticism from backers of the baseless claim that there was fraud in the 2020 election.
Go Deeper:Across AZ, elections officials leave office following harassment over 2020
Across the nation, election officials have exited their posts in response to increased and relentless vitriol from voters.
In the fourth public hearing in mid-June, several election officials testified before the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection that they received harassment and death threats in response to former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

OVIEDO, Fla. – Good Vibes Theatre Co. is set to present its rendition of the Broadway rock-musical “Rent” at Penguin Point Productions in the Oviedo Mall this August.
According to the group, the show — which is set in the East Village of New York City during the height of the AIDS crisis — is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today.

“We’re excited to put our own spin on such an iconic piece of musical theater history, especially with a show that still feels so real and relevant in today’s climate,” said Director Jamaal Solomon, who doubles as the actor for anarchist-philosopher Tom Collins in the show. “As a community theater group, our shows need to reflect both our community’s spirt and its diversity. We wanted to build an environment where people from all backgrounds feel seen and could come together to celebrate love and life.”
“Rent,” written by Jonathan Larson, won four Tony Awards in 1996 for Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score and Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical, as well as a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Actor Zach Smith, who plays the character of HIV-positive rock musician Roger Davis, said he finds a personal connection to his character through the show’s rock ‘n’ roll score.
“When I first started out in the theater community, I was drawn to ‘Rent’ because it was the first time I’d heard a musical with a ‘rock opera’ vibe,” Smith said. “My buddies and I once tried forming a band, playing out of one of our parents’ garages for the neighborhood kids, trying to make a name for ourselves and write that ‘One Great Song’ — to no avail, of course. We were just kids, after all, but it’s a memory I will cherish forever. As someone who grew up listening to a lot of classic and alternative rock music, this show was right up my alley.”
Performances for ‘Rent’ are scheduled to run Aug. 12 - 13 at 7 p.m. and Aug. 14 at 2 p.m. Admission cost $20 per person with discounts for seniors and students.

OVIEDO, Fla. – Fischer Hricko, 13, of Oviedo, and his family went on vacation Wednesday to the Florida Keys — where he suffered an unexpected shark bite while lobstering.
Bringing their boat down during lobster season is a family tradition, but this year, the family had an unexpected experience.
[TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | DeSantis targets businesses, companies ‘imposing woke ideology on the economy’ | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
While in the water to capture a lobster, Fischer told News 6 he was attacked by a nurse shark — a species usually known to be docile.
“It was scary, like, I tried getting away, but it was so fast,” Fischer Hricko said.
He said he grabbed the shark and pulled it from his face.
“Then I just swam as fast as I could back to the boat, screaming,” Fischer Hricko said.
His dad, Kent Hricko, said it was a terrifying moment for the family.
Kent Hricko said when he first heard his wife screaming about a shark, he just assumed there was one nearby. He said he had no idea a shark attacked his son.
When he saw Fischer Hricko panicking and moving toward the boat, Kent Hricko said he tried swimming back to him as fast as he could.
“When I’m approaching him, I’m just seeing blood gushing out of his face, and at that point, I’m like, ‘What happened?’” Kent said.
In a team effort, Fischer’s family got him back on the boat and rushed to shore. They then drove him to an urgent care clinic where he received at least 10 stitches on his upper lip.
“He was definitely shocked, a little bit of crying — but not much,” Kent Hricko said. “He was being tough.”
Kent Hricko said the doctors’ performance was laudable, adding they did a great job of making everyone feel calm.
After leaving the clinic, Fischer Hricko spent the night resting and recovering.
The next day, he was ready to go back out and have fun, even though he just went through a traumatic experience.
“You (have to) always stay positive,” Fischer Hricko said.
Instead of capturing lobsters that day, he decided to use a hook to catch a shark.
He got a hook in a shark that was at least four feet long, but he was unable to reel it in. Regardless, he believes it was a good way to end his family trip.
“Fischer’s going to have a cool story to tell when he goes back to school,” Kent Hricko said.
The family said that for now, Fischer cannot go back into the water while his lip is healing, but Fischer said that as soon as he recovers, he plans to get back in the water. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/07/30/it-was-so-fast-shark-bites-oviedo-teen-during-family-trip-to-florida-keys/ | 2022-07-30T03:48:39 | 0 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/07/30/it-was-so-fast-shark-bites-oviedo-teen-during-family-trip-to-florida-keys/ |
The Northern Arizona Divers had a banner season this summer, finishing the AAU national championship youth diving meet with some of the best performances in recent memory.
The youth diving club, coached by Nikki Kelsey-Huffman -- also the diving coach for the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks -- brought nine divers to the national meet of 76 teams with hundreds of divers in San Antonio from July 16 to 23. The divers, spanning different ages and genders, finished 22nd as a team with one of the smaller squads in attendance.
In about 25 years of coaching the club, this was one of the most successful and rewarding championship seasons, Kelsey-Huffman said.
“I’d say it’s the best we’ve had in a while. There are times where we’ve had three to six divers and they’ve scored well, but we had more this year. It was really exciting,” she said.

Participation in the club, at its peak in the last couple decades, has been around 20 to 25 divers. During peak times of the COVID-19 pandemic there were less, but in the past few months the numbers have steadily increased. So has the skill of the group, leading to a high number of athletes eligible to dive at a national level.
Still, facing teams from major metropolitan areas around the United States leaves Northern Arizona Divers as a numbers disadvantage. So to do so well with such a group is special for all involved.
“That’s what means the most. We call ourselves ‘small and mighty’ because we feel like we’re a very talented, small group. There’s a few families that help us pull everything off, especially when we host big meets here in Flagstaff. And it’s really fun to see the young people have that ‘ah-ha’ moment where they realize they can compete against the rest of the country,” Kelsey-Huffman said.
Now with less regulations on diving and numbers in practice, Kelsey-Huffman hopes to grow the club and continue increasing the current divers’ skills.
With the AAU national meet done, it is now the offseason. The top divers will continue to work on strength training and fundamentals -- maybe even adding new dives to the repertoire.
Kelsey-Huffman added that some of her older divers, phasing out of the youth level, will join her as members of NAU's swimming and diving team.
The excitement of the past season is worth reflecting upon as the team takes a short break.
“We were happy to have a full year back. We had some great divers, and I just love that they’ve come together as a group,” Kelsey-Huffman said.

Economic and pandemic woes have created shortages or higher prices for much-needed items for pets such as kitten formula.
Idaho Humane Society digital media assistant Laurien Mavey interacts with shelter resident, Marley, a 10-year-old male Labrador mix, in June. High prices and food shortages are affecting animal owners and shelters alike.
Even dogs and cats are feeling the pinch of inflation and supply chain troubles with higher prices and shortages of pet food as well as some key medications.
Inflationary troubles are affecting animal rescues and shelters, with some seeing increases in orphaned animals — especially cats — and others wrestling with medication and special diet food shortages.

Higher pet food prices and shortages are also prompting more dog and cat owners to make their own food and snacks. That mirrors other hacks, such as more at-home gardening and backyard farms, to navigate the job losses, inflation and distribution snafus of the coronavirus pandemic.
Pet food prices are up 10.3% compared with a year ago, according to June inflation numbers via the Consumer Price Index. Pet supplies and accessories are up 9.3%. Those are both higher than the overall 9.1% national inflation rate (which is the highest since 1981), according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Gimme shelter
Bob Zoretich, a member of the board of directors for the Langlade County Humane Society in Wisconsin, is among those seeing the trend first-hand.
“Prices are up about 20%. The main thing we usually run out of is kitten food,” Zoretich said.
Like other shelters and animal rescues, the northern Wisconsin center relies on donations from local businesses for food and other items. The shelter currently houses approximately 80 cats and 10 dogs.
He said veterinary and medical costs are also up and that inflation and economic stresses are resulting in some pet owners giving up their dogs and cats.
“That is a factor,” Zoretich said.
Other dog and cat rescues are also seeing the economy prompt more animal orphans.
Kristine Schellhaas, public relations and digital media manager for the Idaho Humane Society, cites rising housing and apartment prices in the fast-growing Boise and Nampa areas.
“These last few years, we have seen a steady increase in the number of pets surrendered due to the housing crisis here in the Treasure Valley. Unfortunately, approximately 30% of owner surrenders are due to rents being raised in conjunction with landlords curbing the amount of pet-friendly housing in the area,” Schellhaas said. “We have also seen families move in together to share a home, and not all of the family pets get along. In those cases, those pets are making their way to our shelter as well.”
The Idaho group sees more than 10,000 animals annually, including summer surges, she said.
“It’s not uncommon to receive nearly 500 felines into our shelter during the summer months, many of them vulnerable kittens that need life-saving medical and foster care,” Schellhaas said.
Housing prices have skyrocketed during the pandemic and the inflation wave, resulting in shortages of affordable housing — including in expensive coastal cities and growth markets such as Idaho, Florida, Arizona and Texas.
‘Anything for kittens’
In Maryland, Leanne Gower is director of the Caroline County Humane Society on the Eastern Shore — about 90 minutes from Baltimore and Washington D.C.
She’s seen some shortages of special diet pet foods, canned pet foods and higher prices for gloves, paper towels and other operational items.
Like other rescues and shelters, Gower has seen a surge in animals.
“We are inundated with cats and kittens,” she said, noting a need for kitten formula and heartbeat simulators which remind kittens of their moms and ease anxiety. “Anything for kittens,” she said of her group’s needs.
The shelter currently houses 200 cats and kittens and 15 dogs.
Across the country, Dee Alschuler, director of the Lucky Dog Rescue in Scottsdale, Arizona, is worried about shortages of animal medicines and prescribed diets.
“If you have a dog on, let’s say a special kidney diet and you can’t get it, it can really leave you and your dog in a bind. Also, some heart meds (Vetmedin) are hard to come by. And that is something that once a dog is on it, you can’t just stop it,” Alschuler said.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration eased some import rules related to Vetmedin in late 2021 to allow for more supplies of the heart drugs. Still Alschuler has seen weeks-long delays for some medicine and supplies.
“That’s not something we can stock up on,” she said.
Homemade food
Alschuler also has several dogs at home and makes homemade treats for them. She’s part of a wave of at-home cooks preparing foods and snacks for their pets — often in response to higher prices, shortages and concerns about preservatives in store-bought food.
“I love baking for my dogs. It’s so much better,” said Alschuler, who uses pumpkin, oats and very ripe bananas in her dog treat recipes.
Homemade dog and cat food recipes are also showing up on social media. At-home dog food recipes can include proteins such as ground turkey, beef livers, and chicken gizzards as well as brown rice, beans and mixed vegetables, chicken broth and bacon. The homemade stews can also be mixed with dry kibble.
Like other consumers, businesses, and nonprofits, Alschuler is frustrated with the higher prices and supply chain shortages and delays. She said her Arizona animal shelter has decreased the number of animals it helps because of all the pandemic impacts.
“This is something you see in countries like Venezuela,” Alschuler said.
She also wants better answers and solutions. “I really wish someone would explain this to me. I hope it’s going to get fixed.” | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/dog-days-high-prices-shortages-hit-pets-and-owners-in-idaho-and-elsewhere/article_5d2d2098-a2fb-5758-8854-d81038d62f43.html | 2022-07-30T03:59:17 | 1 | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/dog-days-high-prices-shortages-hit-pets-and-owners-in-idaho-and-elsewhere/article_5d2d2098-a2fb-5758-8854-d81038d62f43.html |
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — On Wednesday, Craig O'Neill visited Central High School on his Reading Roadtrip— where it quickly turned into a singing road trip.
The day he visited was 9th Grade Academy, a program designed to help incoming freshmen get acclimated before coming to Central High.
And who better to teach them the school's alma mater than THV11's own Craig O'Neill, a graduate from the class of '68.
The enthusiasm of the future class of 2026 was infectious, and they had a blast at the event.
Academies like this one are currently growing in popularity across Arkansas. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/outreach/reading-roadtrip/craig-oneill-reading-roadtrip-central-high/91-f205bf76-4b04-4664-b2e2-c2696374771c | 2022-07-30T04:01:38 | 0 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/outreach/reading-roadtrip/craig-oneill-reading-roadtrip-central-high/91-f205bf76-4b04-4664-b2e2-c2696374771c |
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — While Texas heatwaves can impact many things from water levels to agriculture, it can also impact your vehicle in a number of ways, specifically the interior.
The temperature of a vehicle on a hot day can reach over 145 degrees, according to AAA.
A vehicle's dashboard can begin to crack if exposed to extreme heat for too long, and that can lead to costly repairs down the road. The average cost of a dashboard replacement can range from $1,935 to $2,084, according to Repairpal.com.
Motorists can take extra precautions to protect their car's interior by minimizing its exposure to heat. Though it may seem small, the act of cracking your windows can prevent heat from building up in your vehicle.
Cars with leather interiors can have their fare share of pros and cons. While the sleek material can boast a luxurious appearance, it can also become a driver's worst nightmare in the heat. Leather is known for being a nonporous material, meaning it does not promote ventilation and can rise in temperature, according to forestlakechevrolet.com. Unless motorists opt for perforated leather, getting in your car can be a miserable and sweaty experience.
Just like your home, a car requires proper care and maintenance in order to perform at top efficiency. According to AAA, there are certain methods motorists can practice to extend the life of their car's interior:
- Park in your garage or other shaded areas.
- Use a sun visor to protect your dashboard from additional heat exposure.
- Install seat covers to prevent heat damage and keep them cool.
- Before entering your car, open your door and allow trapped heat to escape your vehicle.
- Use a leather seat conditioner to extend the life of your luxury interior.

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Humane Society said more than 30 chihuahuas were rescued from a hoarding situation at a Tempe home Thursday.
Humane Society officials said The dogs range in age from 1-week-old puppies with their moms to adults, up to approximately 8 years of age. Most of the dogs appear to be between 2 and 5 years old.
Officials said that dogs are still undergoing medical exams and testing for highly contagious diseases like Distemper.
Some of the dogs are very shy and a bit fearful, so AHS’ Behavior Team will begin working with them once they are medically cleared.
AHS said despite having been through a lot, Thursday night marked the pups' first night with air conditioning and being able to eat from actual food bowls and not on a feces-covered floor.
The Humane Society said these Chihuahuas are 31 of more than 15,000 animals AHS takes in each year and one of more than 6,900 cases of suspected animal cruelty that AHS’ Animal Cruelty Investigators respond to each year.

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Off Mill Plain Boulevard in Vancouver sits a brand new four-story housing complex, made especially for low-income seniors.
“Today is huge for me, huge,” said Beth Funk, who is about to move in. She spoke through tears of joy. “My life will be stable for the first time since I was 19.”
For most of Funk's life, she’s been in and out of homelessness. That all changed on Friday.
“I’ve got my own apartment for the first time ever and I’m really excited about it.”
The complex is called Miles Terrace. All the tenants are 55 and older and make about 50% of the area's median income, which means rent is between $1,000 and $1,400 a month.
“Since many of our residents that come into these are actually making lower than that, we are adding some rent subsidy as well,” said Roy Johnson, head of the Vancouver Housing Authority.
Monday is move-in day, and there’s already a waitlist.
“Unfortunately, the creation of affordable senior housing has not been real robust over the last couple years, so we’re happy to add this to the portfolio,” said Johnson.
But the city’s housing crisis lingers on. In fact, directly across the street is a homeless encampment.
“I wanted to have a library when I moved into a new house so I started collecting books,” said Sarah Taylor, who lives at the homeless camp across from Miles Terrace.
On Friday, Taylor was picking up the mess that someone left after they destroyed her camp.
“I came home after going out for a walk and everything was thrown around over here. This happens all the time, especially to me,” she explained.
Taylor is in the process of finding housing, which hasn’t been easy.
“I’ve called, I’ve done every assessment, I’ve done everything and they give you case managers here and the case managers are supposed to help you get into housing Section 8 and what not … they have not gotten back to me,” she said.
Taylor's tent is now a front-row seat as others like Funk who have experienced homelessness step into their new home down the street. Without an opportunity to do the same, she doesn't share any of Funk's joy.
“I think it’s absolutely disgusting,” Taylor said. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/homeless/vancouver-affordable-senior-housing-homeless/283-924733dd-2b12-4ee5-b646-bb2b4e961309 | 2022-07-30T04:05:10 | 1 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/homeless/vancouver-affordable-senior-housing-homeless/283-924733dd-2b12-4ee5-b646-bb2b4e961309 |
BELLINGHAM, Wash. — As the Northwest heat wave steams ahead, many in the homeless community are unable or unwilling to visit cooling centers.
At Bellingham's Base Camp homeless shelter, a day room was converted into a temporary cooling center. But workers haven't seen many people using it during the heat wave, and that has them concerned.
Outreach workers are now taking the relief directly to them.
With coolers loaded with ice and buckets full of juice, workers from Lighthouse Ministries hit the steamy streets of Bellingham.
"We've noticed people are pretty thirsty this week," said Lighthouse's Kilmery Miller.
At last count there were officially 859 homeless people living in Whatcom County, most of them in Bellingham.
Outreach workers loaded a van with food and cold drinks and drove around the city to familiar haunts people experiencing homelessness. They distributed drinks and sandwiches to those in need, and invited them to the cooling center.
They have handed about 100 bottles of water per day, five days per week. The bottles might be the only drinks they get on any given day, with temperatures well into the 80s or above this week.
"So, if we're the only people they're getting water from we're concerned they're not getting enough water," said Lighthouse's Adam Estrada.
One of those grateful for the handouts is Eric Ballweber, who has been homeless for the better part of the past 17 years. He suffered heatstroke a few years ago on a sweltering city bus.
Standing on the pavement beside a homeless woman wearing no shoes or socks, he knows how unforgiving the heat can be for those who have so little.
He is grateful for the outreach being done.
"They really have us dialed in," he said. "They know what we need. We have a personal relationship with these guys. They make it personal and that makes a difference."
Outreach workers also visited a shade-less street lined with cars and campers, many in various states of disrepair.
For the people living inside, the heat can easily turn deadly. They end up stuck with no way to escape the rising temperatures.
"A lot of these vehicles are stranded here," said Estrada. "They're missing parts and the AC doesn't work, so they're not able to move."
One hundred people in Washington died in one week alone during last summer's heatwave.
Along with keeping people experiencing homelessness fed and hydrated, the outreach workers are using this summer's heat wave to build lasting relationships they hope will one day lead to getting the homeless off the streets for good.
"I think it's important that we just keep showing up for them every day," Miller said. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/outreach-workers-help-homeless-heat-wave/281-ae2c0997-eb16-4308-9978-f9d129ec05a0 | 2022-07-30T04:05:16 | 0 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/outreach-workers-help-homeless-heat-wave/281-ae2c0997-eb16-4308-9978-f9d129ec05a0 |
WACO, Texas — Why not play the Mega Millions with $1.2B at stake?
Texans around the state are gearing up for the big jackpot, a record $1.28B that would certainly change anyone's life.
"First thing I'm doing is pay my mom's bills off," Waco resident Vance Simmons said. "She's free. She wouldn't have to worry about anything ever again."
Surprisingly, a lot of other Central Texans say they too would be willing to give to their families and community before they indulge in luxury homes, cars and other things.
"I would pay my tithes, and share the money with my family. I would definitely leave plenty for my kids," Angela Washington said. "I don't need much more in life, I'd be comfortable. But I've got people I'd have to look out for. I don't mind sharing."
I even found some Baylor Basketball guards who said they'd provide for others first if they hit that kind of a jackpot.
"First, I'm just gonna take care of my family really make sure they're all straight. And then eventually I would just find ways just to give back to the community," Baylor Guard Langston Love said.
"The main thing is taking care of the family. You know, people, you know, I made a lot of sacrifices for me, you know, outside of family and close friends," Baylor fiver-star guard Keynote George said.
But of course, even among the givers, there were still some who wished to indulge in some big buys.
"This might sound crazy," Simmons said. "But I'm going to Oregon and I'm buying every size 12 shoe in the Nike HQ. I'd want to wear a different pair of shoes every single day for the rest of my life."
"A brand new car. I hate my car," Alyssa Reimer said.
With taxes, you're looking at about half a billion dollars, but that's still nothing to sneeze at. Central Texans say they're not changing their tone as far as giving to others first.
"I'm just gonna move the same way. I'm gonna buy a house but it's not gonna be a million-dollar house. It'd be like a $700,000 house something comfortable. So when relatives come in, they have their own room. You know they wouldn't stay in a hotel."
The draw for the big jackpot is tonight. If nobody wins, the prize will go up once again.
As of now:
Cumulative Texas Mega Millions draw sales (this roll) up to the 9 p.m. hour July 29 are $62,376,624.
- The 8:00 – 8:59 p.m. hour included $5,456,172 in Mega Millions draw sales.
- This represents cumulative growth of 343% over last Friday at the same hourly time period.
- This represents cumulative growth of 409% over yesterday at the same hourly time period.
- Current hourly Mega Millions of sales per minute in Texas are $90,936.

TEMPLE, Texas — The City of Temple has announced Friday that they have decided to not accept outside help from Chicago consulting firm, NOVA collective.
In a letter addressed to the community, Temple Mayor Tim Davis and City Manager Brynn Myers say they're shifting efforts to have their own city staff evaluate themselves. As stated in the release:
"Focus the City's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts on only the internal operations of the City in its delivery of municipal services."
The sudden decision to back out was made after hearing the criticism from residents in the community regarding the proposal. City leaders cited "community feedback regarding the contractor, social media content, and the proposed contract price".
This comes after the city hosted its first Community Economic Resource Summit on July 28. There NOVA was introduced as a commission was considering whether to hire the firm.
The DEI agency would have focused on the internal operation of the city and its services.
The committee was originally scheduled to meet again on August 2.

No reported injuries in connection with gun incident at Arizona Mills
Reports of an armed man at Arizona Mills have prompted multiple agencies to respond Friday evening.
Tempe authorities believe the incident occurred inside the mall. Officers aided in clearing the mall, trying to find those involved. Tempe police say no injuries have been reported.
"About 6:30 this evening, we started receiving calls from folks inside the mall saying there was an active shooter," Sergeant Hector Encinas said during a press briefing. "The details are going to be muddled right now because it was such a large gathering of folks."
Encinas said that there was a fight between "several individuals" near the Starbucks area in the mall.
"Some say it was physical, some say it was just verbal... we're trying to figure that out right now," Encinas said.
Encinas said one man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at another man that he was engaged in an altercation with. Those involved then ran inside the mall, police said. People then sheltered in place within the mall and security officials made efforts to clear the building.
Hassan Odeh, the owner of the clothing store Future Rfrnce, said he hadn’t heard any gunshots but noticed people running from the mall shortly before numerous police officers arrived. Officers told Odeh and his customers to shelter in place as they searched the mall.
“We didn’t know at first that it could have been a shooting or not,” Odeh said. He only learned about a potential shooter after checking television.
Odeh said he had his employees and customers move toward the back of the store in case there was an active shooter but the heavy police presence helped allay some of his concerns.
Odeh said it was a shame that people resort to potentially lethal action during an argument — especially if the argument takes place in a public area.
Odeh said he’s seen customers openly carry firearms at the mall before and wished people would be more careful about how they used them.
It is unclear who was involved and no suspects have been identified. There are no reported injuries.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A Multnomah County auditor investigation revealed that a contractor received over half a million dollars in unallowable costs from the Joint Office of Homeless Services.
Multnomah County auditor Jennifer McGuirk, said the Joint Office approved $525,228 in unallowable costs to All Good Northwest, a group contracted by the Joint Office for alternative shelter, like Safe Rest Villages.
The investigation, spurred by a Good Government Hotline tip, found that AGNW overbilled the county $331,553, mostly in personal expenses, by duplicating payroll expenses over separate invoices. Additionally, the report claims the county also approved $193,675 in unallowable indirect expenses, or administrative costs, after the office incorrectly told the group they could bill the county.
While the auditor said the money has been recouped, McGuirk adds that the new group was “essentially a county-funded start up” with little experience and should have been watched more closely.
“AGNW was essentially a county-funded start-up. It did not exist as an operational organization until the Joint Office contracted with it to operate alternative shelter programs. Because of this, it did not have any established funding or cash flow to support operations. It appears that AGNW’s overbilling errors stemmed, at least in part, from cash flow issues within the organization due to its 100% reliance on county funding,” the report said.
The auditor added “at the time of this report, all of AGNW’s funding has come from the county, which indicates that the Joint Office should have been more closely monitoring AGNW’s invoicing from the beginning. We identified that the Joint Office knew AGNW was new and was 100% reliant on county funding, but did not provide the level of fiscal monitoring/oversight that is essential in these circumstances.”
The report also provided recommendations for the Joint Office moving forward, including that the county should not give 100% funding to an organization, unless the organization goes through a risk assessment. It also recommend detailed monitoring of invoices by Joint Office staff.
In response to the report, the Joint Office said “the Joint Office of Homeless Services (JOHS) appreciates the work of the County Auditor in following up on the original hotline call and producing this report. We would also like to highlight that upon closing her review, the Auditor concluded that not a single dollar was ultimately lost.”
JOHS added “we are grateful to the Auditor’s Office for alerting us, and we are satisfied with the swift resolution of the issue — due in part to work that was already underway at JOHS to improve our contracting systems. Those improvements, which we have proactively pursued as a necessary step to transforming a small office into a large County department, helpfully align with many of the Auditor’s recommendations.” | https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/multco-report-finds-county-wrongfully-approved-over-525k-to-contractor/ | 2022-07-30T04:29:51 | 0 | https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/multco-report-finds-county-wrongfully-approved-over-525k-to-contractor/ |

It’s a chance to meet local police informally, receive free school supplies, learn things and enjoy the evening.
Tuesday is the annual National Night Out. For the first time, the Fort Wayne Police Department will have a citywide event, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Freimann Square, 201 E. Main St.
The New Haven Police Department will hold its events, as it has for more than 20 years, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Schnelker Park, 956 Park Ave.
Fort Wayne police used to visit neighborhoods that had Night Out events, Capt. Sofia Rosales-Scatena said. When the event came around this year, the department decided to do something central.
“We just wanted to get back on track with it,” Rosales-Scatena said.
There will be a giveaway of backpacks and school supplies for kids, characters Mad Ant and Cinderella to take photos with, a balloon artist and a DJ providing music. Food trucks will also be there.
“The community stepped up for us in a huge measure for this, so we’re really grateful,” Rosales-Scatena said.
The police will have K9 officers and bike patrol officers for people to meet, as well as specialty police equipment – including a drone – for people to see, Rosales-Scatena said. The Fort Wayne Fire Department and Three Rivers Ambulance Service will also be there.
“We’re looking for it to be an annual thing,” Rosales-Scatena said.
New Haven’s Night Out, just north of New Haven Intermediate School, will be much the same as it has over the years, Police Chief Jeff McCracken said.
A couple hundred people come each year to meet officers and take photos with them, to see the inside of squad cars and meet members of the East Central Fire Department and EMS and see their equipment.
K9 officers and bike patrol officers also will be there, and there will be cornhole with a cop and giveaways. Domino’s is donating free pizzas, and Kroger has donated hot dogs and hamburgers that officers will grill. Target, a longtime partner, is donating water and some of the giveaways.
“It’s a great time for the citizens to come out and get to know their first responders,” McCracken said. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/national-night-out-will-be-celebrated-in-fort-wayne-and-new-haven-tuesday/article_f446230e-0f81-11ed-bab8-83ec4e3174f0.html | 2022-07-30T04:33:29 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/national-night-out-will-be-celebrated-in-fort-wayne-and-new-haven-tuesday/article_f446230e-0f81-11ed-bab8-83ec4e3174f0.html |
Four killed, others injured, in southern York County when tractor overturns
A woman and three children died when a tractor pulling a trailer overturned in southern York County late Friday morning, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Nine others were transported to hospitals.
Emergency responders, the county coroner and several helicopters were dispatched to the "mass casualty" event, York County 911 said.
The crash occurred at about 11:30 a.m. on Furnace Road, not far from Brogue in Lower Chanceford Township.
State police said that a man was driving an older model tractor pulling an open utility trailer when he lost control, and it traveled off the road and went over an embankment. Both the tractor and the trailer rolled. Twelve people − the woman and 11 children − were in the trailer at the time.
The children ranged in age from under one to 14, state police said.
Three individuals were flown by helicopter to a hospital. The rest were taken by ambulance.
The conditions of the victims vary, state police said. The driver of the tractor is in serious condition.
No other vehicles were involved.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — A developer has renovated two former hotels off of Ulmerton Road in Clearwater, and turned them into apartments.
“A renovated kitchen, new paint, new flooring,” Mariana Robina, a representative from Pelican Lake Apartments, said describing the renovations.
The apartments used to be two extended-stay hotels, but now it’s an apartment complex with 183 units that range from 360 square feet to 824 square feet.
Property management leaders say the price is designed to fit people in the area without breaking the bank.
“From $1,200 to $1,700, we have studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms,” Robina said. “All of the apartments have full kitchens, even the studios.”
Leaders from Pelican Lake say the deal was in the works for 20 months, but developers flipped the hotels into renovated apartments in just around three months, a process that they say should keep the prices below those of new properties popping up in the area.
“Our rents are going to be $400 to $500 lower than a brand new construction,” Humberto Cubillos, a representative from Pelican Lake, said.
Cubillos says they are also looking to place a bodega or grocery-style retail space on the property. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/hotels-clearwater-renovated-apartments/67-c9256c7f-15b2-4134-9c63-516924995c44 | 2022-07-30T04:42:57 | 0 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/hotels-clearwater-renovated-apartments/67-c9256c7f-15b2-4134-9c63-516924995c44 |
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A 24-page indictment uses 50 examples of how a Russian nationalist worked with United States political groups to promote Russian propaganda.
The FBI is investigating the Uhuru Movement Headquarters in St. Pete.
The FBI alleges the St. Pete group worked with a Russian nationalist to interfere with U.S.-based elections. Uhuru Movement members didn't deny working with Russia.
Nicolè Ford is a professor at the University of Tampa and is an expert in all things politics and Russia.
Ford said what Russia is accused of doing can be dangerous for all of us.
"They sort of pounce on existing divisions and use those to break us further apart," Ford stated.
Locally, Ford believes Russian involvement with the Uhuru group could have impacted a mayoral election in St Pete.
"In the 2017 mayoral campaign with Kriseman and Baker, they gave them the additional funding to do that," Ford explained. "Their candidate, Jesse Nevel, I believe it was, was able to garner 1.67 percent of the vote, which was unusual for him to get that much."
Ford believes that could have swayed votes away from a specific candidate.
"It created a position where Baker could have won perhaps because as the left candidate, the candidate Baker had some of those votes taken away from him and funneled to Nevel," Ford said.
The FBI's investigation continues and Ford believes the Russians will as well.
"We need to be vigilant to make sure this type of stuff doesn’t continue," Ford said. "Look at people’s sources and funding. Vote with intent. They will seize the opportunity to divide us."
It’s not just the Uhuru Movement the FBI is investigating. Other political groups in Georgia and California are also accused of working with Russians and spreading their propaganda.
The investigation is ongoing and will continue through the court system. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/russia-interfere-st-pete-politics/67-6b94f667-8e92-4879-9040-f82d70a9f448 | 2022-07-30T04:42:59 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/russia-interfere-st-pete-politics/67-6b94f667-8e92-4879-9040-f82d70a9f448 |
CLARKSVILLE, Ark. — Viewers sent in videos and pictures from the start of the fire sending up smoke that could be seen for miles.
“I’ve never seen it…it was like you could tell it was over with. With the flames coming out, they had two dormers that were starting to collapse,” said hotel guest, Gary Hamilton.
A couple from Texas had just checked in moments before the fire erupted through the hotel.
“Firemen come through and pounded on our door and I opened it and he says get out now it’s on fire,” said Juanita Van Norman.
Juanita Van Norman and her husband stay in this hotel every time they visit Clarksville and she says she’s never seen anything like this before.
“They also helped me run back in and get all of my things and our medicine in stuff, my insulin and it was scary,” Norman recalled.
The motel guests were very grateful the fire department helped them evacuate safely and put out the fire as quickly as they could.
“The firefighters…they did a hell of a job,” Hamilton said.
“We just got out, but I couldn’t have done it without the firemen’s help and getting him out because there’s not a ramp over there….so he got him in a safe spot and then helped me,” said Van Norman.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. We also learned tonight from the Clarksville police department, that a local family with two small children had to evacuate during the fire and lost their car seats.
Safe Haven and the Pregnancy Help Clinic stepped up to donate two new seats to the family. The department also says Walmart donated water for firefighters and police officers on the scene working today. | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/clarksville-motel-guests-escaping-fire/527-5a335f04-4c6f-454e-bb04-1263646f2abe | 2022-07-30T04:46:13 | 0 | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/news/local/clarksville-motel-guests-escaping-fire/527-5a335f04-4c6f-454e-bb04-1263646f2abe |
ATLANTA — It was a warm Sunday evening in late June. Movement arts teacher, Connie Palmer, decided to go skydiving as she has done for 13 years now.
Except for this time, things were different. The 35-year-old aerial performer got into an accident after deploying her parachute.
As she explains on her social media, she doesn't remember anything after entering her landing pattern, until after surgery the next day.
"All my friends on the ground said that I just didn't do anything and rode it right into the ground," she told 11Alive. "I didn't have a malfunction. I just don't remember, I really don't remember what happened.”
She explains that she couldn't remember to pull on the handles off her parachute that serve as breaks, also called flaring. In turn, she hit the ground, and broke her lower back, legs, got a concussion, and injured her lungs.
“I am bedbound. So I have not stood on my own feet for four weeks now," she said. "Not being able to just get up and walk across the room or get up and stretch is really challenging. I’m definitely stir crazy and ready to get up again."
Palmer has been a professional circus artist for 13 years and started out as a magician's assistant in Atlanta, "many moons ago." She then became an aerialist and fire performer. More recently, she began transitioning into stunt work, too.
Palmer is hopeful to be back up and moving soon but it will come with expenses.
She’s already had multiple surgeries, which have added up to at least $78,000 to date, her loved ones said. Her transportation to get to and from her medical appointments isn’t covered by her insurance, either, according to Palmer.
“I can’t sit or stand so I can’t be moved in a vehicle. I have to be put on a gurney," she explained. "I'm in a bit of a holding pattern right now. The orthopedic surgeon is trying to give me the very best chance that she can with my ankle, my ankle is in pretty bad shape. A lot of orthopedic surgeons recommended fusing my ankle entirely."
The one message she wants to get across, however, is that her love for the movement arts isn’t going anywhere and others shouldn't be discouraged by her incident.
“I don’t want this to deter anybody from doing a skydive. This was an accident that I had in a sport that I’ve been in for 13 years," she said. "So if people want to skydive or ride horses or ride motorcycles or do any of the other things that are like stunt related, I think they should still try it. This could have happened to me like you know walking down the road.”
In just three days, her fundraiser - which as of Friday night has a goal of $100,000 - has raised more than $20,000.
"The dollar amount that was put on it was based off of my hospital bills, and then the expected transport bills and out-of-pocket costs just to cover most of my medical care until after my surgery," she said.
The fundraiser was started by her friend. Palmer said she feels the support all the way from her hospital mattress.
"Oh, my gosh, I already was blown away when Julia just wanted to create the fundraiser. And then I can't believe that it's gotten to where it is. So, anyone that would consider donating, I would just be eternally grateful. I just don't know what else to say. Other than that, I'm grateful," she said.

HANCOCK COUNTY, Ga. — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has released law enforcement body camera video relating to the death of Brianna Grier. The Georgia woman fell out of a moving patrol car following her arrest on July 15. Grier, 28, died at an Atlanta hospital days later, according to authorities.
Grier was taken into custody after Hancock County deputies were called to a home in Sparta, investigators said. GBI has maintained that deputies put Grier in the back of the patrol car, but she was not wearing a seatbelt. Her hands were in handcuffs in front of her and the rear passenger-side door was not shut, the agency said. It is unclear why deputies were called to the home or why Grier was arrested, police records show her parents called law enforcement to their home.
Hancock County Sheriff Tomlyn Primus shared with 11Alive's sister station WMAZ reports of more than a dozen incidents going back years in reference to Grier’s troubles with mental illness, drugs, clashes with her parents and DFACS’ concerns with her two young daughters.
The newly released 10-minute body camera video now sheds light on Grier's interaction with the deputies.
"I'm not drunk, I haven't had anything to drink," Grier is heard saying in the video. "I haven't had anything to drink."
Grier is heard challenging deputies to "bring out (their) breathalyzer" handcuffed from the ground before the deputies are seen interacting with her. She continues to repeat herself while yelling as deputies lift her and carry her toward the patrol car, video shows.
"Now you gonna get charged," a deputy is heard saying before she's dropped to the ground. The deputies demand that she walk, when she refuses, they carry her the rest of the way toward the patrol car.
"I ain't broke no law," Grier repeats as the deputies carry her. "Get off me," she mutters between her statements as she threatens suicide. The deputy wearing the body camera takes a tender tone asking her to get up but Grier refuses.
She declares she has a heart stint, asks to see her brother and yells in distress, according to the video. The accompanying deputy threatens to use his Taser, flashing it, before tossing her in the patrol car.
Turning on the vehicle, a deputy is heard phoning dispatch to record his mileage and report he is on his way to the sheriff's office. Less than a minute later, he pulls over.
"Brianna," he said in the video, as he walked toward her body on the roadside. Video does not show when or how Grier exited the vehicle.
The deputy continues to pat Grier, calls for a medic, and continues to try to get a response from the woman.
"She's still breathing, go ahead," the other deputy said. "She gettin' up." He also questions how Grier managed to get out of the vehicle.
Body camera then shows the accompanying deputy demand Grier sit up. He grabs her and drags her a few steps away from where she was lying on the ground.
He works to take off her handcuffs, the video shows.
"Sit up! Sit up Brianna," the deputy said as he guides her into a seated position. "You alright."
At this point, the deputy wearing the body camera calls for Grady Memorial EMS again.
"How your backdoor open?" the accompanying deputy asks the one wearing the camera. The two are waiting for medics as they prop Grier up in a semi-seated position. They seem to have determined that she is conscious, according to video, and they try to keep her awake.
11Alive has clipped off the last seconds of the video that shows Grier on the ground breathing, incoherent and unresponsive for nearly a minute. This is how the video ends. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/gbi-releases-body-camera-video-brianna-grier/85-0aeecb21-a715-4a91-a489-3efd0a539ad6 | 2022-07-30T04:46:24 | 0 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/gbi-releases-body-camera-video-brianna-grier/85-0aeecb21-a715-4a91-a489-3efd0a539ad6 |
POTTSVILLE, Pa. — Downtown Pottsville will soon be packed with beer lovers for Schuylkill County's annual Brewfest.
After 8 years, this is their largest festival to date. Featuring 40 different breweries, five distilleries and three wineries.
“It really opens up everyone to craft beer. We have Tyler here with Pilger Ruh, we have Black Rock brewing company down the street, we also have Yuengling brewery in town. And it just opens up peoples minds to get away from the miller lights, the Coors lights or the Bud lites and try something new,” Dave Cantwell, Schuylkill County Brewfest co-founder, said.
“We got breweries coming from Tampa, Florida, New York, Philly, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and they're all coming here so the county can try their beers,” Tyler Budwesh, Pilger Ruh Brewery co-owner, said.
Pilger Ruh Brewery is celebrating its one year anniversary this month and co-owner Tyler Budwesh shared how the Brewfest helped his business start out strong.
“It's going to help bring in new customers. We have some breweries that aren't even open yet so it's a nice showcase for them to get their name out there” Budwesh said.
The coordinators of Brewfest say this year's festival will be double the size of last year's. Helping breweries attract more customers to help combat inflation.
“Just to help the breweries because just like everything else prices are going up and it's getting harder for these breweries to get here, even to get their beers made,” Budwesh said.
The festival will also feature over 80 local vendors. Showcasing businesses in downtown Pottsville.
“It brings over a thousand people to downtown Pottsville to see all the great businesses down here downtown. A lot of the businesses are participating in the beer festival and will be set up in front of their businesses,” Budwesh said.
The Brewfest will take place Saturday in downtown Pottsville on Center street between Market and Laurel street.

A federal appeals court ruled Friday against a group of New York parents who sued after the state made it more difficult for children to get a medical exemption from school immunization requirements, which were tightened after a major measles outbreak in 2019.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court's dismissal of a lawsuit filed by families and Children's Health Defense, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s anti-vaccine group.
The lawsuit challenged state rules adopted in 2019 that did away with religious exemptions for vaccines and narrowed eligibility for medical exemptions down to children with just a few rare conditions, like severe allergic reactions to a previous dose of vaccine or certain, severe immune system diseases. The state's allowed exemptions follow guidelines from a federal advisory panel.
The families argued the regulations violated their rights because school officials could deny requests on behalf of vulnerable children even when a doctor certified a medical need for an exemption.
The appeals panel rejected that argument, writing in the decision that "the new regulations require requests to comply with evidence-based national standards for the purpose of ensuring that physicians do not recommend medical exemptions in conclusory fashion or for non-medical reasons.”
New York's longstanding vaccination rules don't include a mandate for children to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Sujata Gibson, an attorney for the plaintiffs, who hailed from a variety of school districts around the state, said she was disappointed in the decision.
“The real question here is: Who decides when you are looking at medical exemptions?” she said. “Is it the treating physician, or is it the school principal?”
Resistance to vaccines helped fuel a measles outbreak that sickened nearly 1,300 people in 2019, the highest number of cases reported in the U.S. since 1992.
Vaccine hesitancy persists in some of the New York communities that were the epicenter of that outbreak.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Cruising is back in Sacramento.
The ordinance targeting lowriders across Sacramento streets since 1988 was overturned by the city council back in May, but today the last "no cruising" signs are coming down.
For many of Sacramento's lowriders cruising is more than just a thing you do, vibrant, lovingly restored cars that can jump up and down the street, it’s culture.
"Lowriding is all about family, we are out here just trying to have a good time," one person told ABC10. "it started way back when I was 16-and-a-half."
Something guys like Tony Bernardino start young and pass on.
"You just don’t realize how many talks I’ve had with my son in this car or in my cars during a cruise," said Bernardino.
A sign of the times?
Since 1988, cruising was banned on broadway in an ordinance many felt was targeting their community.
"It’s never too late to do the right thing," he said.
City Councilmember Katie Valenzuela was among the city leaders to hear the calls.
"This ordinance came from prejudice, and misunderstanding, and facilitated discrimination against a community that had done nothing wrong."
A community that did nothing wrong but worked for months to make this moment a reality.
"It took five months of probably putting 10 years of work in five months, almost 90 meetings."
And three months after the Sacramento City Council voted unanimously to end the anti-cruising ordinance.
There’s nothing stopping them now. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/cruising-is-back-in-sacramento/103-0bc3fd91-a144-443c-af5b-c825130fda18 | 2022-07-30T04:56:06 | 0 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/cruising-is-back-in-sacramento/103-0bc3fd91-a144-443c-af5b-c825130fda18 |
A worker at a Brooklyn produce store was attacked by a stranger who came up behind the victim and stabbed him with a screwdriver in what is believed to be an unprovoked attack.
The worker, who did not wish to be identified, could be seen on security camera arranging fruits and vegetables outside Mr. Mango near Fulton Street and Lafayette Avenue in the heart of Fort Greene on Wednesday. The attacker walked from the side of the street up behind the worker, who said he suddenly felt a sharp pain.
The video shows the assailant sneak up, swing the screwdriver and stab the man in the right arm. The victim said he had never before seen the attacker, who was wearing a dark shirt, dark pants and slippers. The suspect said nothing at any point before, during or after the incident.
"I don't know why. I don't know who this guy is. I never see (him in) this area, never," the worker told NBC New York. He said he has not idea why he was targeted by the stranger.
Neighbors who watched video of the attack said they didn't recognize the man either, and are calling for an arrest.
Crime statistics for the area where the store is located show assaults up 15 percent from 2021, while the latest numbers show robberies up almost as much, at 14 percent.
The manager of Mr. Mango said those increases sound about right, and provided video of a robbery at the store earlier in July. One of the masked suspects ad a gun, the manager said, while the other had a knife. He said they took cash, and no employees were hurt.
The worker, meanwhile, returned to work Friday, a white bandage around his arm. He said was was nervous to come back, but was pushing aside any fears because he needs the money.
"I'm no too OK, but I have to work, you know. Rent is coming and this is why I have to work," he said.
Police said that the suspect with the screwdriver was last seen rushing off toward Fort Greene Park. No arrests have yet been made. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/brooklyn-grocery-store-worker-stabbed-with-screwdriver-in-unprovoked-attack/3801734/ | 2022-07-30T04:56:12 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/brooklyn-grocery-store-worker-stabbed-with-screwdriver-in-unprovoked-attack/3801734/ |
SAN ANTONIO — Gov. Greg Abbott spent nearly three hours at a fundraiser after the shooting at Robb Elementary, according to flight records first obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
A day after the tragedy, Abbott told reporters he stopped at the event on the way from a wildfire in Abilene to Austin "and let people know I could not stay - that I needed to go."
"I wanted them to know what happened and get back to Austin so I could continue my collaboration with Texas law enforcement to make sure all the needs were being met in the Uvalde area," he continued.
But Abbott remained at the event for nearly three hours. The dinner took place in Huntsville, which is more than 150 miles east of the state's capital.
Abbott departed Abilene for Huntsville in a private plane loaned to his campaign at 4:11 p.m. At the time, KENS 5 reported at least 14 people were dead inside the school.
Abbot's plane landed at 4:52 p.m. The governor did not depart Huntsville for Austin until 7:47 p.m.
In an exclusive interview with KENS 5 Friday, Abbott defended the move. He said he wanted to let the event's attendees "know what was going on in Uvalde, and then I took questions about that."
"I was in contact constantly with either my office or the Texas Department of Public Safety, making sure we were getting all the information that needed to be obtained," he continued.
Abbott added that his campaign shut down after the shooting. His staff did not resume political messaging on social media until June 12.
The Dallas Morning News reported Abbott raised as much as $50,000 at the event on May 24. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/abbott-spent-hours-following-robb-shooting-at-fundraiser-uvalde/273-0449aa8f-5ee9-4276-8785-1f460a31d7a1 | 2022-07-30T04:57:35 | 0 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/abbott-spent-hours-following-robb-shooting-at-fundraiser-uvalde/273-0449aa8f-5ee9-4276-8785-1f460a31d7a1 |
SAN ANTONIO — Authorities in Comal County say they're investigating the discovery of a body in Spring Branch Friday evening—the same community where a 45-year-old woman has been missing for 10 days.
Local officials tell KENS 5 it's too early to determine the age or gender of the body, let alone if it might be Shana DiMambro, who disappeared from her RV home on July 19. But DiMambro's relatives have been notified about the discovery, which authorities say was made by a passerby not far from the RV park where DiMambro lived.
Public searches have been organized in the area in recent days, with relatives and neighbors hoping to find any sign of DiMambro. ATVs, trucks, drones and a tracking dog have been used in their search efforts so far.
"It's just a shock to the community," one search organizer said earlier this week. "It's just so rare for anyone to disappear out here."
This is a developing story.

HONDO, Texas — The fate of an NRA fundraiser, set for Saturday, August 6 in Hondo, lies in the hands of city council.
Monday, August 1, councilmembers will decide whether to cancel, postpone or allow the fundraiser to happen in a city-owned facility.
When word got out about the Medina Area Friends of NRA fundraiser, it didn't sit well with some Uvalde families.
In the public comment portion of Monday's Hondo City Council meeting, two Hondo residents voiced their concerns, including David Hernandez. Hernandez is the uncle of two Robb Elementary victims, Jackie Cazares and Annabell Rodriguez.
"I am not against the 2nd Amendment. I am a gun owner myself, but it is distasteful and point blank disrespectful to the families of Uvalde that just buried their loved ones to hold this event so soon and so close to Uvalde," Hernandez told councilmembers Monday. "Stand with Uvalde to show the whole world that an assault weapon is not more important than our children."
The fundraiser's flyer advertises a gun raffle. Big spenders could win an AR-15.
"What if it would have happened here in Hondo? How would we like it if Uvalde or some community would be having an event by the NRA? Especially because they're promoting the AR-15, which is the weapon that was used by the killer," said Hondo resident, Chavel Lopez. "You're letting the Area Friends of NRA and the NRA drive through Hondo like hell. You got that sign out there that you don't anybody driving through it like hell, well they are driving through it like hell because you're permitting them to have that event here in Hondo."
At a special meeting Monday, Hondo city council will debate whether the event should go on in one of their facilities.
Hondo City Manager, Scott Albert, says the city would be open to moving the fundraiser, which has taken place annually for about a decade.
Monday, July 25, city officials met with Friends of NRA representatives to see if they'd reschedule their event out of consideration for Uvalde families. John McAnelly, the Mayor of Hondo, said the organization declined.
"Maybe a handful of individuals who had concerns about the fundraiser bieng held, but we also had individuals reach out to us who support the Medina County Friends of NRA to move forward with their event," said Albert. "There's no hidden agenda here by either side."
What's also of concern, city officials say, is a possible protest should the fundraiser go on as planned. In an e-mail, McAnelly told us city leaders were informed there could be hundreds of protestors outside the the Fair Hall. Since two other birthday events are planned next door at the facility, and given the emotions involved, the mayor said council is concerned about the safety of everyone.
All net proceeds from Friends of NRA events benefit the NRA Foundation, according to the Medina Area Friends of NRA's Facebook page.
The NRA Foundation's website (https://www.nrafoundation.org/about-us/) says "Funds granted by The NRA Foundation benefit a variety of constituencies throughout the United States including children, youth, women, individuals with physical disabilities, gun collectors, law enforcement officers, hunters and competitive shooters."
Friday, KENS 5 reached out to a spokesman for Friends of NRA. He has not yet responded.
The special council meeting is set for Monday, August 1, at 5:15 p.m. at Hondo City Hall.
"This is a sensitive issue for the region and I think our governing body, our city council, is going to look at it from both points of views and make the appropriate decision in the best interest of the citizens of Hondo," said Albert. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/texas/nra-fundraiser-uvalde-local-leaders-hondo/273-79098935-ace2-4bba-ade4-0c71a6b5d64f | 2022-07-30T04:57:47 | 0 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/texas/nra-fundraiser-uvalde-local-leaders-hondo/273-79098935-ace2-4bba-ade4-0c71a6b5d64f |

Pontiac man charged in fatal shooting of co-worker
A man has been charged in connection with fatally shooting a co-worker last month in Pontiac, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office announced Friday.
Nathanial Marceal Ebarra, 27, was arraigned through 50th District Court on one count of
second-degree murder, records show.
Judge Cynthia Walker ordered him held without bond. A preliminary examination is set for Sept. 8.
Ebarra, a Pontiac resident, was arrested shortly after June 27 incident.
On that day, investigators learned he and the man he supervised at work, Daniel Leroy Brotemarkle, 25, argued at the site.
Brotemarkle then drove a company truck to his home in the 800 block of Woodland Drive in Pontiac; Ebarra went there with other co-workers to retrieve it, Oakland County Sheriff's officials said.
A confrontation between the two men escalated and Brotemarkle was shot several times, according to the investigation.
Deputies were called to the home and found the victim lying in the road with gunshot wounds. Detectives recovered multiple 9mm shell casings at the scene.
Medics rushed victim to a hospital, where he died from his injuries shortly after arrival.
Ebarra initially was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The murder charge was added Wednesday after prosecutors additional forensics, county officials said Friday. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/07/30/pontiac-man-charged-fatal-shooting-co-worker/10190680002/ | 2022-07-30T05:00:37 | 0 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/07/30/pontiac-man-charged-fatal-shooting-co-worker/10190680002/ |

WF Police graduates new Junior Police Academy cadets
Wichita Falls police graduated 22 new students from the Junior Police Academy on Friday.
The Wichita Falls Police Department celebrate 22 new members of the Junior Police Academy Friday during a ceremony at the training center. Guest speaker Wichita County District Attorney’s Office Chief Felony Prosecutor, Dobie Kosub said he hopes some of the graduates will seek careers in law enforcement.
WFPD spokesman Sgt. Charlie Eipper said the class is designed to show kids what police officers do and give them a “behind-the-scenes” glimpse of what it’s like being in law enforcement.
The WF Police Academy started in 2015, but had to put the program on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sgt. Eipper said this is the seventh year for the program. Each year the police department takes applications for two classes, one in June and the other in July. Each class has 22 students. | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/29/wf-police-graduates-new-junior-police-academy-cadets/65386996007/ | 2022-07-30T05:48:25 | 0 | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/29/wf-police-graduates-new-junior-police-academy-cadets/65386996007/ |
Wichita County COVID-19 numbers rise slightly
The Wichita Falls Wichita County Health District reported 333 new cases of COVID-19 for the week that ended Friday.
The district had reported 342 cases on July 22, but that was for a two-week period, meaning cases per week rose.
No deaths from the virus were reported in the past week. Twelve people were hospitalized.
Most of the new cases -- 297 -- were not up to date on their vaccinations.
Eighty of the new cases were reinfections, meaning the patients had been afflicted with the disease before and 91 percent of that number were people not up to date on their vaccinations. Six of those hospitalized Friday were vaccine breakthrough cases, meaning they were up to date on their vaccinations, but caught the virus anyway.
The positivity rate among those tested was 40 percent, which was slightly lower than earlier. | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/29/wichita-county-covid-19-numbers-rise-slightly/65387007007/ | 2022-07-30T05:48:31 | 0 | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/29/wichita-county-covid-19-numbers-rise-slightly/65387007007/ |
Picture-perfect career: Halsey reflects on life in photojournalism
After almost 40 years in photojournalism, 36 of them with the Times Record News, I’ve decided to take a step back and reflect on what has been one of the most fun, satisfying, scary, frustrating and interesting jobs I could ever have hoped for. I’ve often joked it was so much fun, I’d almost do it for free. Almost.
I started out shooting black and white film, making prints in the darkroom and ended up shooting high-resolution digital images with a device that seems as much computer as camera.
After entering a local photography contest, I was fortunate enough to win a two-week internship in the photography department of the TRN. I learned about deadlines and cutlines and to always get people’s names spelled correctly.
Starting out as the Advertising Photographer for the paper, I shot photos of anything that might be sold through newspaper ads. Shoes, cars, purses, houses, food and products of all shapes and sizes.
Then I moved up to News Photographer which included general news assignments, breaking news, more food, fashion, photo illustrations, new businesses and sports.
There’s nothing like capturing the spirit of competition in everything from T-ball games to the Texas Rangers. Youth soccer, Boys Club football games, up to the Dallas Cowboys and their sold-out games at Jerry World. MSU basketball to the Texans in the 80s and 90s and the heart of high school sports, Friday Night Football.
My job also required me to shoot photos of difficult things. Fatality car accidents, gunshot victims, house fires, drownings and too many other things that made it difficult to sleep at night.
I’ve met some of the most interesting, intelligent, humbling people. CEOs, politicians, presidents, homeless people, protestors, artists, teachers, movie stars, comedians and famous musicians.
I’ve been fortunate to have been to places and experienced things that the average person might never see.
Places like up in the rafters of the Kay Yeager Coliseum, three stories below the bottom of Lake Kemp, on the side of a billboard, the inside of the original Doppler radar dome, a fire truck's aerial ladder, the roofs of dozens of buildings and even rappelled off the side of Big Blue.
I’ve photographed the tears of a mother as she listens to her late son’s heart beating inside the chest of a transplant patient.
Traveled to countless small towns, several big cities and met some of the nicest people in both.
I’ve spent so many late nights, holidays and early mornings being on call. You know that here in Texoma, that means working through record-breaking heat, blizzards, floods, hail, pouring rain and an occasional super-cell thunderstorm. News doesn’t stop for bad weather.
And it happens everywhere. I’ve taken photos riding in boats, a race car, backwards on a motorcycle, a historic steam engine train, in several military aircraft, a hot-air balloon, helicopters, a powered parachute, on horseback and even upside down in a vintage, open-cockpit biplane.
There have been literally hundreds of thousands of photographs over the years. Needless to say, no two days are alike in the news business.
It does feel good though, knowing I’ve been able to record so many moments in history, whether large or small. It has been a privilege to try to capture those remarkable moments for our little corner of the world.
Not to mention my side business shooting weddings, events, lots of family portraits and more.
I’ve enjoyed working with some of the most talented, dedicated and ethical people you’ll ever find.
The news business has changed a lot over the years and hopefully it can continue to transform and adapt to whatever the future holds.
As I prepare to step away from my career in photojournalism, I’d like to thank you for supporting my work over the years. I consider myself blessed to have made a living doing something that started as a hobby.
In case I didn’t mention it, I’ve loved my job.
I’ll still be around town, but probably with better posture—that camera equipment sure is heavy. | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/30/torin-halsey-reflects-on-career-after-retiring-from-times-record-news/65386689007/ | 2022-07-30T05:48:37 | 0 | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/local/2022/07/30/torin-halsey-reflects-on-career-after-retiring-from-times-record-news/65386689007/ |

FORT MYERS, Fla. – It’s summertime in Florida. That means two things: it’s hot outside and air conditioners are working extra hard to keep it cool inside.
With the rising cost of electricity across the country, shaving a couple bucks off your bill might sound like a good idea.
“Our last one was about $200 higher than it’s been,” said Nick Becker of Cape Coral.
One idea swirling around on Southwest Florida social media pages is to put an umbrella over your outside AC unit to cast a shadow on the machine.
The idea is by keeping the outside portion of the unit, called the condenser, in the shade, it wouldn’t have to work as hard to cool the air thus saving you some money on the electric bill.
But will it really help?
We set out to investigate. Helping to get to the bottom of the theory is air conditioning expert Gordon Durant of Crowther Roofing & Cooling.
“Right now I’m hooking up the gauges so that I can check pressure and temperature relation,” Durant said as he hooked up meters to an air conditioning unit sitting in the sun.
The meters are connected to a computer that outputs readings that Durant reads to see if the A/C unit is running correctly.
According to the numbers he was getting, the unit used for the test was working efficiently. So an umbrella was placed over it and Durant waited 30 minutes before taking another test.
Will it help make the unit run more efficiently? Becker wasn’t too optimistic about it.
“It may help a minuscule but not enough as the effort it takes to put the umbrella out there,” Nick Bekcer said.
After waiting the half hour of the unit working with the umbrella overhead, the results came in.
Gage: “Are we seeing any difference on the meters?”
Gordon: “Absolutely no change.”
Gage: “Nothing at all?”
Gordon: “Not a bit.”
Gage: “So my umbrella didn’t do anything?”
Gordon: “Not a bit.”
The tests revealed that there wasn’t a noticeable difference in the air conditioning unit running in direct sunlight versus under a shade.
Durant said it’s not worth the money, but it could also make your A/C work harder.
“It’s counterproductive to what the machine is trying to perform at,” he said. “In order to make cold, you heat it up and then the removal of the heat quickly makes cold.”
There are two main factors that he pointed out as to why an umbrella wouldn’t help.
“Number one, when the sun hits the unit, it’s not hitting the actual coil, it’s bouncing off the metal,” he said. “Number two, is in essence a boiler. It boils the refrigerant first. So having heat does not necessarily mean a bad thing.”
Your A/C condenser unit also needs to breathe. The manufacturer said 18 inches all around and six feet on top of the unit need to be clear of obstructions.
Now that we know the umbrella doesn’t work, what are some ways to save money?
“Twice a year maintenance and change your filters,” Durant said. “Routine maintenance is the best way to provide longevity and a more efficient unit.”
There’s only one need for an umbrella like we used in the experiment, and it’s not in the backyard.
“Take the umbrella, go to the beach, enjoy your life,” Becker said. | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/07/29/does-putting-an-umbrella-over-your-ac-unit-really-help-lower-your-electric-bill/ | 2022-07-30T06:03:17 | 1 | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/07/29/does-putting-an-umbrella-over-your-ac-unit-really-help-lower-your-electric-bill/ |

CORBETT, Ore. — For the third time this week, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office on Friday responded for a water rescue on the Sandy River — and for the second time, someone did not survive the ordeal.
Just after 4 p.m. on Friday, deputies and firefighters from the Corbett and Gresham fire departments responded to the Sandy River near Dabney State Park and the Stark Street Bridge for the water rescue call. The caller said that a man had gone into the water by himself and suddenly began struggling. He slipped beneath the surface and did not come back up.
Firefighters took rescue boats out into the river, using equipment to scale the steep riverbank in order to access the water. Using a handheld sonar device called an AquaEye, Corbett firefighters found the man underneath the water.
The sheriff's office said that AMR lifeguards helped to bring the man up to the surface and paramedics got him back to the riverbank. He was then taken to the hospital.
Despite attempts to save the man's life, the sheriff's office said that he was declared dead at the hospital. His name is being withheld until next of kin have been notified.
On Wednesday this week, a man on a paddleboard fell into the Sandy River near Oxbow Park and drowned. The next day, a family of three "narrowly survived" after being swept down the river by the current in the same area, the sheriff's office said.
Earlier this month, another man hiked out to the Sandy River near Oxbow Park and went for a swim. After search efforts that lasted several days, his body was found in the river, also presumed drowned.
Friday's death then marks the third on the Sandy this month, all within a stretch of less than a dozen miles.
"The Sandy River is dangerous year-round, and the river bottom is rocky, uneven and surprisingly deep in some locations," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "The water may be stronger and colder than nearby rivers because the Sandy River is fed by glacier runoff from Mount Hood. Use caution when swimming in the Sandy River."
With hot temperatures continuing through the weekend, authorities urged people who plan to visit a local river or lake to go somewhere that a lifeguard is present, such as Glenn Otto Park in Troutdale.
Lifejackets are recommended at all times when in or around the water. They can be borrowed for free at Glenn Otto, Dabney, Oxbow, Dodge and Lewis and Clark Park. | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/sandy-river-man-drowns-second-third-death/283-c76e1e82-6e55-4caf-9c6f-9ee5e2b4afa9 | 2022-07-30T06:03:31 | 1 | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/sandy-river-man-drowns-second-third-death/283-c76e1e82-6e55-4caf-9c6f-9ee5e2b4afa9 |
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man who was rescued by first responders in the Sandy River on Friday has died, in what authorities say, is the third major water rescue call on the river this week.
First responders got to the scene, near Dabney State Park, just after 4 p.m. after a caller reportedly saw the man struggling in the water and had not resurfaced, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said.
Crews were able to find the man and carry him up the riverbank to paramedics. MCSO said despite lifesaving measures, he died at the hospital.
MCSO pointed out this is the third major water rescue call in the Sandy River since Wednesday.
On Wednesday, a paddleboarder reportedly fell into the river and drowned near Oxbow Park. The next day, a family of three was hospitalized after being swept by the current.
Officials urge community members to visit local rivers and parks where a lifeguard is present, including Glenn Otto Park in Troutdale. First responders also remind everyone to wear a life jacket.
Life Jackets are available for free at Glenn Otto Park, Dabney State Park, Oxbow Regional Park, Dodge Park and Lewis and Clark Park. | https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/mcso-swimmer-dies-after-water-rescue-on-sandy-river/ | 2022-07-30T06:05:55 | 1 | https://www.koin.com/local/multnomah-county/mcso-swimmer-dies-after-water-rescue-on-sandy-river/ |
MIDLAND, Texas — Oil and gas is king in the Permian Basin. Recently, the federal government announced that the Environmental Protection Agency could designate the Permian Basin as a non-attainment zone.
This would mean that the area would have to re-work how it operates in order to reduce air pollution.
"The EPA published a notice that talked about the Permian Basin possibly being moved onto the non-attainment list for ambient air quality standards because of ozone levels, and that’s a significant thing to be placed on that list," Midland-Odessa Transportation Alliance president James Beauchamp said.
It's a decision that could impact whether certain projects, whether they be oil and gas related or something else, move forward. This is because they would require an air quality permit to proceed.
"Certainly there would be a lot of things added to that list," Beauchamp said. "It has a tremendous impact cost. Things that before were a forgone certainty that we were going to move forward on something, may not be anymore."
This is one reason why MOTRAN and local leaders are working to inform people in the Permian Basin about how this could impact them and the different industries that are in the Basin.
In fact, there will be a luncheon, open to the public, at the Petroleum Museum on August 3 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. It will provide information to the public about the EPA's notice to the Permian Basin.
"We hope we’re not on that list," Beauchamp said. "Certainly from the data we’ve collected, we probably shouldn’t be, but the fact that a notice was published and it got brought up, and this process is moving forward means people need to be engaged."
One of the biggest concerns with being placed on the non-attainment list is that once an area is placed on the list, it's unlikely that the area will get off the list.
"There has never been a community placed on the non-attainment list that has ever come off of it," Beauchamp said. "Even after the air quality standards have improved, they're left on there ad nauseam."
Brooks Landgraf, one of the speakers for the upcoming luncheon, mentioned that he plans to do whatever he can to make sure that the Permian Basin is not put on the non-attainment list.
"I’m going to be working and fighting tooth and nail in the upcoming legislative session to make sure that the Permian Basin has what it needs to be successful," Landgraf said. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/permian-basin-luncheon-air-quality-issues-epa-non-attainment-zone/513-4b28662b-5106-4fa3-bf5c-6b01999d80de | 2022-07-30T06:12:19 | 1 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/permian-basin-luncheon-air-quality-issues-epa-non-attainment-zone/513-4b28662b-5106-4fa3-bf5c-6b01999d80de |

LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — More than two dozen calves and a goat were rescued from a property near Hunlock Creek after state troopers were alerted to a possible cruelty situation.
Once humane officers arrived, they found the animals living in unsanitary conditions without food or water.
"Some had no water at all, they require water 24/7. There was no hay for them when I was there the initial day, Wednesday, no food, nothing. So when I saw what I saw, it was time to move them," said Vickie Vangorder, Humane Society Officer.
Officials with the Luzerne County SPCA near Wilkes-Barre say two of the cows did not make it. The remaining 28 have a long road to recovery.
Veterinarians believe the cattle have illnesses such as pneumonia, salmonella, and e-coli infections, all of which are contagious.
"They are in very critical shape. Not so sure that all of them are going to survive, but we're doing our best that we can to make sure that happens," said Vangorder.
Todd Hevner is the Executive Director at the SPCA of Luzerne County.
He says while the organization is often called to farms, this is one of the worst cases of neglect he's seen.
"The difference is, rarely do we seize as many as we're looking at. We've certainly taken horses that were in deplorable conditions, but we're talking two, three horses. 30 head of cattle, completely different story for us," said Hevner.
Officials say it's always important to report any cruelty you might see.
"You know this came together because if you see something, say something. Our officers and this organization are only as good as the information coming into us," said Hevner.
According to humane officers, the investigation is ongoing. They do expect to file charges in Luzerne County.

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — Whether you're playing with two bucks or twenty, a lot of people say now is the time to play the lottery.
At a staggering $1.2 billion dollars, the Mega Millions jackpot kept the lines going inside the Kinsley Market Shop Rite in Brodheadsville.
There were no winners for Tuesday's jackpot of $830 million. Since then, the Mega Millions jackpot has grown by an estimated $370 million.
With this much money on the line, even the folks who play the lottery only once in a while are getting in on the action.
"Not a lot, but I do play every now and then when the pot gets pretty wealthy like it is today," said Ricky Williams, Effort.
"I think I started playing with this one when it was at 300 million. I have been playing every, twice a week," said Kathy Stephens, Albrightsville.
The Mega Millions jackpot hit $1.5 billion back in 2018; a woman from South Carolina won that. This current jackpot is the second highest in the game's history.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lottery player. Customers say it only takes one ticket and some luck to change someone's life.

MARION, Ind. — Police officers in Marion rescued a young boy from a river Thursday evening.
Marion Police Ofc. Nicholas McPike responded to a report of a 9-year-old boy who was struggling in the Mississinewa River near Ballard Field just after 6 p.m. Thursday. Bystanders directed the officer to the boy, who has autism and is non-verbal, about 20 yards from the shore.
McPike went into the water and got to the boy, who had just gone under the water. At that time, Grant County Sheriff's Deputy Jalen Ward also got into the water. McPike pulled the child out of the water and the officers brought the child to shore.
Police said the boy was checked out by medics after he got out of the water and appeared to be in good health and did not need to be taken to a hospital for futher treatment.
"Thanks to the quick actions of Officer McPike and Deputy Ward a tragedy was averted," Marion Police Chief Angela Haley wrote in a release. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/officers-rescue-9-year-old-boy-from-marion-indiana-mississinewa-river/531-5173a017-c2f8-4ad1-993f-57b4e8a806d3 | 2022-07-30T07:51:27 | 0 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/officers-rescue-9-year-old-boy-from-marion-indiana-mississinewa-river/531-5173a017-c2f8-4ad1-993f-57b4e8a806d3 |
Cold ocean water along the Jersey Shore is actually keeping some people out of the surf, and experts say the water has been pretty chilly for an unusually long period of time.
But it shouldn't stay this way all summer, and could warm up pretty quickly and soon. Though until then, surfers in Margate were seen hitting the waves while wearing a wetsuit.
"I'm wearing it because you would be very cold without it," said John Nugent, of Mays Landing.
The ocean temperature in Atlantic City on Friday, during the last week of July, was just about 58 degrees. Very few people were seen brave enough to try taking a dip.
“I came down expecting it to be a bit warmer than it was and it was a bit of a shock,” Phil Tribe, of Haddonfield, said. “It feels a little bit like daggers in your foot.”
Retired National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Eberwine said he can’t remember the cold water lasting this long into the summer, or it being so cold during summer.
Eberwine says the surf temperature took a tumble about 10 days ago — with some of the coldest water in the past 5 days.
News
The reason: an unusually long stretch of upwelling. That happens when winds push warmer surface water offshore and deeper, colder water rises up to replace it.
“This is kind of an anomaly,” said Dave Werner, a marine sciences teacher at Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science in Ocean County and an adjunct professor at Stockton University.
“We typically have upwelling in short segments, maybe two to three days where we get the southwesterly flow,” he said.
The average ocean water temperature for this time of year is about 70 degrees. Experts say parts of the Jersey Shore might finally get to that point again by the end of the weekend.
“What will really bring it back is a stiff northeast wind,” said Eberwine.
Still, there are some benefits to the colder water sticking around for longer.
“I’m hoping it warms up a bit but the colder water does keep some of the crowd out, which is nice,” said Tribe.
And for some, the biting chill comes with a different benefit — as a young girl pointed out, the cold water means fewer jellyfish. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/why-is-the-water-at-the-jersey-shore-so-cold-this-summer-and-will-it-warm-up/3801736/ | 2022-07-30T07:59:00 | 1 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/why-is-the-water-at-the-jersey-shore-so-cold-this-summer-and-will-it-warm-up/3801736/ |
BOISE, Idaho — Climate change and the human impact of that can be a divisive topic. Although the scientific community agrees overwhelmingly that human activity is impacting dangerous climate change, there will always be skeptics.
University of Idaho researchers Dilshani Sarathchandra and Kristin Haltinner interviewed climate change skeptics across the Northwest to find out more about their beliefs; they found three main reasons for skepticism. The first, conspiracy theories.
“People have this perception that some international body is seeking to acquire money and power through climate change. A second grounding is in religion." Haltinner said. "A perspective that God created Earth for us to use and therefore, wouldn't make it possible for us to ruin God's creation. And, humans are arrogant to even think we could influence God's creation. And then a third group of people really had a distrust in science. They perceived scientific research as biased in bias towards believing in climate change, having incentives that might sway scientists.”
The duo approaches the topic of discussing climate change from different perspectives. Dilshani grew up in Sri Lanka where she witnessed health issues and poverty associated with pollution and rising temperatures.
“A lot about how climate change impacts are putting significant burdens on people in the global south, especially small island nations. So I had a personal interest in the topic. Plus, my research is driven by the interest in public attitudes towards controversial science topics such as climate change,” Sarathchandra said.
Kristin took a wide view of the world as she had her first child, she worries about the planet’s health for her son’s generation.
“I started to have a lot of climate anxiety, and I was talking to Dilshani about it and about sort of where I come from in terms of my research and where she comes from in hers. And we decided to put our exact climate anxiety into action with this project,” Haltinner said.
The pair found that while some were deeply committed to their position on climate change, others were not as firm and open to discussion.
“People who are skeptical about climate change are not necessarily anti-environmental. We found that there's a lot of overlap and concern about three specific areas. One is pollution," Haltinner said. "A direct quote from someone we interviewed was, no one wants to breathe polluted air, habitat, destruction and loss. People are concerned about losing animal species, especially people who are hunters or hikers. And then a third is actually support for renewable energy. We found that half the people we surveyed supported expansion of solar and wind energy.”
Perspective is a big takeaway from the interviews and surveys with skeptics. The point can be echoed by the authors, who have a book set to be published on the topic next year, in the sense of different experiences creating a shared perspective.
“We grew up in such different environments in the United States and me in Sri Lanka," Sarathchandra said. "But we care about an issue that is really affecting everyone at a global level, is coming together from those different perspectives and working on a project together. Really, the book is like a culmination of years of work. So, we're very excited about that.”
A major takeaway is that some climate skeptics are willing to talk and change their opinion, a key to doing that is finding common ground.
“A lot of the conversations about climate change to be effective can start from places of shared, common ground. So perhaps, you know, being hunters or being hikers or enjoying the outdoors or being grandparents and worrying about the futures of your grandchildren," Haltinner said. "There is a lot of common ground that we can begin these conversations from, to sort of identify what we care about in a mutual way that can drive policy.”

BOISE, Idaho — With extreme heat comes extreme risk – especially if you are going on any sort of outdoor adventure.
For the past 60 years, the Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue Unit has made sure people are prepared and safe. Last year, the unit responded to 40 calls, search specialist Scotty Perkins said.
The unit has already responded to 18 calls this year, and twelve of those happened this month. To stay safe in the wilderness, he said preparedness is key.
“Make sure that you're thinking about the things that might go wrong in addition to the things that should be going right,” Perkins said.
If something does go wrong, emergency responders are there to help. Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue is called in as reinforcement for law enforcement, Perkins said. The entire unit is volunteer-based.
Perkins started working with the unit five years ago. As an outdoor enthusiast himself, he said helping out is an obvious choice.
“Volunteering with our unit is an excellent way to both get an appreciation of the outdoors and help people who like to spend time, but also learn about some of the dangers and be more proactive and prepared as I enjoyed on my own,” he said.
Since it is the middle of summer, the unit gets a fair amount of heat-related calls. Perkins said unreliable weather is an issue in some instances.
It is also not uncommon for someone to be on the verge of heat exhaustion before temperatures drop, thunderstorms begin and hypothermia sets in.
Water is another concern, Perkins said.
“We've had several additional missions this year relative to years past, in terms of access to rivers and swift water,” he said. “So that's an unusual observation that we've made.”
Perkins said the Search and Rescue Unit does not want to discourage people from exploring the outdoors. They merely want people to make good decisions, which often starts before stepping foot outside.
Having a solid plan is essential, according to Perkins. Other people should also be aware of that plan, so telling your friends and loved ones where you are going is a good idea.
Carrying more than enough water and food, while seemingly obvious, are also things some people forget. Perkins said he recommends finding routes close to water sources. That way, people can get in contact with emergency responders if something happens.

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho officials are looking to expand the number of participants in auctions for state lands and potentially bring in more money by allowing remote bidding.
The announcement by the Idaho Department of Lands on Wednesday comes ahead of an Aug. 13 auction in Coeur d'Alene for 10 cottage sites at Priest Lake in northern Idaho and an auction this fall for a 14-acre (5.5 hectare) "high-end" island in Payette Lake near the vacation and second-home town of McCall in west-central Idaho.
"The former live auction process limited participation to those who could attend in person," Jim Elbin, the department's division administrator for Trust Land Management, said in a statement. "Remote bidding may increase competition at endowment auctions, helping us better meet our constitutional mandate to maximize the return for our endowment beneficiaries."
The Priest Lake lots can be viewed online at Corbett Bottles Real Estate Auctions and Proxibid and the Idaho Department of Lands.
The department is overseen by the Idaho Land Board comprised of the governor and four other statewide elected officials. The state constitution requires the Land Board to maximize financial return over the long term, benefitting mainly public schools.
Statewide, the Land Board directs the Idaho Department of Lands in managing about 3,900 square miles (10,100 square kilometers) of state-owned land. The big revenue producer on those lands is timber.
The decision to use remote auctions comes at a time when the Land Board is facing increasing pressure to sell lands that have skyrocketed in value, outpacing the value of keeping the land as an ongoing asset. But state land, especially in the McCall area, is also prized as public land accessible to outdoor recreationists.
Idaho has been selling hundreds of residential home sites in recent years as it gets out of the business of leasing that land. The move began amid concerns the state wasn't getting fair-market value for the leases.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — A new baggage screening x-ray unit was just installed at the Magic Valley Regional Airport (TWF).
Officials with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) hosted a first-hand look at the new computed tomography scanner Friday, which will now automate all checked baggage screening operations.
“This is a great day for us here at Twin Falls Magic Valley Airport,” TSA Federal Security Director for Idaho Andy Coose said. “We have the latest and greatest screening technology for checked baggage installed here, which is good news for our officers because they no longer have to open every single bag that goes onboard and airplane out of this airport, and dig through passengers’ belongings.”
Prior to the new unit installation, TSA officers checked all TWF luggage through hand screening. TSA agents are required by law to screen all checked luggage for explosives and other security threats that would be dangerous onboard an aircraft.
The addition of the new machine should expedite that process.
“This greatly reduces the amount of time necessary to screen each bag," Coose said. "Before when each officer had to open a bag and go through it, it took considerably longer. Probably as much as five to ten times longer than each individual bag going through the machine does now.”
The x-ray machine is programmed to analyze the contents of each bag and scan for potential security threats. If bags are not cleared, they will be further inspected by airport staff.
“The new machine uses CT medical-type technology which does individual images, slices of the bag sort of like you had an MRI, and then give out an image of any items that need to be looked at," Coose said. "Only those bags that are found to have something that needs to be looked at are stopped."
The goal of the new technology is to ensure security threats are not able to make it onboard an aircraft.
“It’s a great thing for passengers because they can now be assured their bags are being screened to the highest possible security levels,” Coose said.

FRUITLAND, Idaho — Michael Vaughan, the now 6-year-old boy missing from Fruitland for an entire year, will have his case featured on a new REELZ series to bring attention and hopefully additional information to solve his disappearance.
His case will be featured Friday night, July 29, sometime during the 7 p.m.-10 p.m. MT showing of "On Patrol: Live."
The series joins forces with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Black and Missing Foundation to help solve ongoing cases of missing people.
It will document the work of police officers in a missing persons investigation to get the word out about the disappearances, which could lead to call-in tips and possibly the recovery of a missing person.
Producers of the show have worked previously with NCMEC and have helped return 19 children to their families through tips, executive producer John Zito said.
Vaughan was reported missing on July 27, 2021, from his neighborhood in Fruitland. The Fruitland Police Department has joined forces with Idaho State Police, the FBI and other agencies to find him.
Little has been released publicly about the details of the investigation, but Fruitland police have previously stated they have many persons of interest but no suspects.
"Nothing is absolute," Fruitland PD Chief JD Huff said during a press conference.
Vaughan's parents, Brandi Neal and Tyler Vaughan, both spoke out last week about the case a year later.
"None of us are going to stop. Not a single one of us will stop. Michael is going to come home," Neal said.
Recently, the boy's parents also said the work investigators have done are leading the family to believe that he will come home someday.
Vaughan was never given an AMBER alert when he went missing, largely due to the fact police did not think he was abducted at the time. They have reason to believe now that abduction is a possibility due to the extensive ground searches that have been conducted.
The attention that the show could generate for the boy's case could reach people nationwide.
“This is a unique opportunity for Michael’s case,” said Angeline Hartmann, who is the director of communications for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
“While he has received national attention before, this is very different. We know that the viewers of 'On Patrol: Live' are highly invested in our missing children and do what they can to find these kids. They call themselves, ‘OPNation,’ and each week, they actively share our cases on social media, generating unparalleled attention for our missing children. We ask everyone to watch the segment tonight and call us if they have any information that can help bring Michael home," she said.
Host and Executive Producer Dan Abrams, Sgt. Sean “Sticks” Larkin and Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson provide minute-by-minute live analysis and context during the show.
The series premiered Friday, July 22, and airs live Friday and Saturday Nights from 9pm to 12am ET/ 6pm PT – 9pm PT on REELZ.
REELZ is available as a live linear network in more than 40 million homes on DIRECTV channel 238, DISH Network channel 299, Verizon FiOS TV channel 692HD, AT&T U-verse channels 799/1799HD and Xfinity, Spectrum, and many other cable systems nationwide.
The library versions of REELZ can be found via major streaming platforms such as Amazon Channels, Fire TV, Roku, Pluto TV, Tubi, Samsung Smart TV+, Vizio, Crackle, Xumo, Redbox and others.
Anyone with information is asked to call NCMEC at 1-800-843-5678.

CANYON COUNTY, Idaho — Southwest District Health announced the district's first case of monkeypox on Friday. The case was detected in Canyon County.
Health officials are currently working with the patient to ensure they are treated and exposure risks are identified, a spokesperson for SWDH said. Samples are being sent to the CDC and results are expected next week.
Monkeypox usually causes a mild illness, according to a press release, but antivirals are available for people who may have a severe version of the virus or develop complications.
Southwest District Health recommends vaccination for people who have been exposed to monkeypox to help their symptoms and prevent the spread.
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare's deputy state epidemiologist, Dr. Kathryn Turner, said a shipment of monkeypox vaccine for Idaho was ordered Wednesday. When it arrives, Turner said, the vaccine will be offered in stages.
"Idaho received a small amount of vaccine, and it's prioritized for what is called post-exposure prophylactic... People who have been exposed to monkeypox and have symptoms will be given the vaccine," Turner said.
Idaho also has been allocated 1,380 doses for Phase 3 of the rollout. According to IDHW, the federal government allows the state to order 40% of those doses on Monday, Aug. 1. IDHW officials hope to receive them later that week.
Individuals with monkeypox should self-isolate until their lesions have fully healed with new skin where the lesions used to be, the Southwest District Health news release said.
Monkeypox is not a strictly sexually transmitted disease, according to the CDC, but it can be transmitted through bodily fluids. If someone has direct contact with fluids, a rash or scabs, this is the most common way it can spread.
Additionally, it can be spread through clothing, bedding or towels.
Close contacts should be monitored for symptoms for 21 days after their last exposure. Symptoms* of concern include:
• Fever ≥100.4°F (38°C)
• Chills
• Swelling of the lymph nodes
• New skin rash. Rash may look like pimples or blisters.
*Fever and rash occur in nearly all people infected with monkeypox virus.
If symptoms develop, people should immediately self-isolate and call Southwest District Health for further advice, the news release said.
People can prevent the spread of monkeypox by doing these things:
- Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash that looks like monkeypox.
- Do not touch the rash or scabs of a person with monkeypox.
- Do not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone with monkeypox.
- Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person with monkeypox.
- Do not handle or touch the bedding, towels, or clothing of a person with monkeypox.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
What should someone do if they have symptoms of monkeypox?
SWDH encourages anyone who is experiencing an unexplained skin rash with or without a fever to contact their healthcare provider and avoid contact with others. If possible, call ahead before going to a healthcare facility.

BOISE, Idaho — A bat tested positive for rabies when it was found on July 26 on a sidewalk on Bannock Street in downtown Boise, across from Cecil D. Andrus Park.
Two other dead bats were seen in the same area the week before.
Central District Health and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare are urging citizens to avoid contacts with any bats as well as their pets, since the virus can cause a fatal illness in both people and pets.
Most bats do not have rabies, but they are the species most often found to be rabid in Idaho, according to a news release by the CDH and Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
"If you handled a bat in the downtown Boise area in the last week, it is important that you contact your primary care provider immediately to discuss the situation and determine if rabies shots are warranted," said State Public Health Veterinarian Dr. Leslie Tengelsen. "Bat bites are extremely small and hard to see, so if there is any chance you handled a bat near the park, talk to your healthcare provider. If your pet picked up a bat near the park, even if currently vaccinated against rabies, talk to your veterinarian about getting your pet a rabies booster."
If someone and their pet had contact with a bat in the area around that time, they are asked to call (208) 375-5211 to speak with a Central District Health epidemiologist.
CHD also asks that people report dead or dying bats to Fish and Game, who will remove them and conduct additional testing for rabies.
This is the fourth bat this year to test positive for rabies in Idaho, the news release said. On average, 15 rabid bats are detected in Idaho each year.
To protect yourself and your pets from rabies:
• Do not touch a bat with your bare hands. Be very suspicious of any bat behaving oddly or found on the ground.
• If you come into contact with a bat, seek medical attention.
• Save the bat in a container while using thick gloves or another method to transfer it into a container without touching it.
• Contact your public health district to arrange for rabies testing.
• Always vaccinate your pets, including cats. Pets may encounter bats outdoors or in the home.
• Bat-proof your home or cabin and maintain tight-fitting screens on windows. Bats can enter through holes the size of a quarter. Typically, bat-proofing is best accomplished after most bats have migrated away in the fall.

After 'significant' fire damage, Hartman's Bakery in Manitowoc sees outpouring of support from donors, local businesses
MANITOWOC - Hartman's Bakery has remained closed after a fire early Wednesday at its Manitowoc location, but community members are stepping up to help.
The bakery's Facebook page linked several other businesses that have announced fundraisers and raffles to help Hartman's in the fire's aftermath: Catalyst Studio, Shades of Paradise Tanning Resort & Hair Studio, Luxe Beauty Bar and State of Grace Well-Being.
Several of the posts that the bakery shared from other businesses' Facebook pages announcing fundraisers stated the importance of supporting other small businesses. In a post, Luxe Beauty Bar said that when its team heard about the fire, they "immediately said 'How can we help?'"
The bakery has also announced a GoFundMe campaign, asking for $15,000 to cover lost employee wages and out-of-pocket expenses. Another nearby bake shop, Bakery on State at 439 N. Ninth St., donated $1,000 to the campaign.
In the post, the bakery also released more details about the fire.
According to the post, owner Luisa Rehrauer and another employee were working at the bakery's Manitowoc location late Tuesday night when they smelled smoke. When Rehrauer found a "huge cloud of smoke" while out on the deck, she and the employee evacuated the building, then watched outside as "big flames" started coming from the roof.
Authorities say the Manitowoc Fire Department arrived at 12:22 a.m. While the initial flames were extinguished, the fire department spent a considerable amount of time stopping the fire from going through void spaces in the building, the fire department said.
No injuries were reported, but the bakery said the fire caused "significant" damage to the roof and kitchen.
Hartman's Bakery has three locations: Manitowoc at 901 N. 11th St., Two Rivers at 1615 Washington St. and Plymouth at 201 E. Mill St.
While the bakery has briefly opened their Plymouth and Two Rivers locations to sell leftover products, they don't yet know when they can resume regular operations, the bakery said.

The Brooklyn bishop who said he was robbed during a sermon is answering questions for the first time about how he funds his lavish lifestyle, and addressed a lawsuit he is facing regarding thousands of dollars he given by a parishioner.
“Everybody wanted to talk about the bling-bling bishop that the media portrayed" said Bishop Lamor Whitehead.
Police said Whitehead, known for his close friendship with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, was robbed during a sermon on July 24 that was live-streamed online. Whitehouse says he and his family were held at gunpoint as three masked men stole at least $400,000 worth of jewelry.
Whitehead was heard sermonizing about keeping faith in the face of grave adversity, moments before the robbers entered the church, located above a Haitian restaurant in Canarsie. He’s then seen dropping to his hands and knees and repeatedly saying, “alright, alright,” before a man holding a gun and wearing a black sweatshirt enters the frame.
The man, who was also wearing a black face mask, is then seen approaching Whitehead, who was hiding behind a gold-colored lectern, and stuffing the bishop’s jewelry into his pockets. Another man, dressed in similar garb, is then seen heading toward Whitehead, lingering near him for a few minutes and then running off.
Whitehead said in a video posted to Instagram that the robbers ripped his collar off to grab his chain and held a gun to his infant daughter’s face while stealing his wife’s jewelry. In all, police said that the robbers made off with a woman's wedding ring, earrings, Rolex and Cavalier watches, a man's gold chain and wedding ring, a Cuban chain, a diamond and emerald cross, and other church items.
News
In a video posted to Instagram in the days after the robbery, Whitehead said he felt a “demonic force” enter the church and wasn’t sure if the gunmen “wanted to shoot the church up or if they were just coming for a robbery.” He said he was thankful no one was hurt, and earlier in the week offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the robbers.
As for the suspects, police said they don't have a lot to go on. They don't have a clear description of the men because they were wearing masks. No arrests have yet been made.
It was an unholy heist that made headlines around the world, mostly due to Whitehead's notably flashy lifestyle. He can often be seen driving around the Big Apple in his Rolls Royce.
But on Friday, the pastor pushed back hard against criticism on social media that he had something to do with the robbery. The bishop acknowledges that he wears high-end clothing and drives luxury cars, but says he shouldn’t be judged on his appearance. He says has multiple streams of income and does not get a church salary.
“I wear what I wear to encourage people, not laugh at people. My community work speaks for itself,” he said at a press conference. "My wife hasn't stopped crying yet, my daughter hasn't stopped crying, my members haven't stopped crying. No one is empathizing with my church."
Whitehead is also facing potential financial issues linked to his failed 2021 campaign for Brooklyn borough president. Campaign finance board records show two loans, including one from a woman named Josette Bayoro for $150,000 that has not been repaid.
State election law says loans must be repaid before Election Day, or they are considered contributions. The loan in this case would far exceed the $1,500 contribution limit for individuals.
When questioned about that money that allegedly has not been repaid, Whitehead's press person tried to stop the press conference and that question from being answered. But Whitehead proceeded to answer the question anyways.
“That’s more of a legal question. What you just stated is inaccurate, I’ll leave it there,” he said.
Whitehead’s attorney later told News 4 that he had no comment, and that would have to speak with his client.
Whitehead also responded to a lawsuit filed by a parishioner in Sept. 2021, in which a woman alleges the pastor convinced her to give nearly her entire life’s savings, promising he would help her buy a home despite her bad credit history. According to the lawsuit obtained by NBC New York, the woman wrote a $90,000 check to Whitehead in Nov. 2020.
After months went by, the complaint alleges Whitehead told the woman he treated her investment as a donation to his failed campaign for Brooklyn borough president, and that he wasn’t obligated to pay it back.
When asked about the lawsuit Friday, Whitehead only called it a “fictitious claim against me, so we gained a victory today.”
On Friday. a judge denied the woman’s motion for “default judgment” for Whitehead’s failure to answer the complaint, finding there wasn’t proof of service. Whitehead’s attorney said that his client doesn’t believe he received it, but they will oppose these actions on all merits and he is confident they will prevail. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/robbed-nyc-bishop-talks-lavish-lifestyle-alleged-huge-unpaid-loan-from-parishioner/3801837/ | 2022-07-30T09:29:58 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/robbed-nyc-bishop-talks-lavish-lifestyle-alleged-huge-unpaid-loan-from-parishioner/3801837/ |
