INDIANAPOLIS — If you are still waiting on that tax refund check from the state, you're not alone.
As of Aug. 12, officials at the auditor's office said the state expects to print 1.7 million checks for Hoosier taxpayers.
Emily Boesen is the communications director and public information officer at the Indiana State Auditor's Office. She said the printing process has, most recently, been delayed by a paper shortage. Boesen said that delay turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
That's because the original $125 check can now be combined with the latest relief money approved by the General Assembly during the most recent special session.
"People will either receive $325 or $650, if they filed jointly, in a check," Boesen said. "By only mailing one check, we are actually able to save over $1 million, because of the fees to print, postage and processing."
Boesen said the state expects to start printing checks Monday morning, which means the first checks could arrive by Thursday.
"That is relief that I'm sure everyone can appreciate," Boesen said.

Boesen said the printing and mailing process can take up to 48 hours.
"We have 1.7 million checks to print, and we are able to print about 50,000 per day. That roughly is an estimate of 35 days of printing, which again gets us to early October," Boesen said.
Boesen said if Hoosiers have not received the check by Nov. 1, they can contact the Indiana Department of Revenue to ensure their mailing and banking information is up to date.
Additionally, Boesen said more Hoosiers will be eligible for the latest relief money allocated by state legislators.
"People that were not eligible for the $125, if they were able to receive social security benefits this last year, they will be eligible for the $200," Boesen said. "How they receive that $200 will depend on how they are set up with the Department of Revenue."
In the meantime, Boesen suggests Hoosiers keep an eye on their mailboxes and bank statements. Direct deposits for the newly-approved relief will be handled by the Department of Revenue, just like the initial $125 payments.
Boesen also thanked Hoosiers for their understanding, as the auditor's office works through the remaining kinks.
"We appreciate their patience," Boesen said, "and we are doing the best we can." | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indiana-tax-refund-check-update-still-waiting-timetable/531-64ea9831-68ad-4831-a3d2-0a9bfb949297 | 2022-08-15T10:56:40 | 0 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indiana-tax-refund-check-update-still-waiting-timetable/531-64ea9831-68ad-4831-a3d2-0a9bfb949297 |

Aug. 15, 1922: Nelson Tull, old soldier and longtime DeWitt County resident, died at his Farmer City home. Tull was born in Circleville, Ohio, nearly 85 years ago, and came to Illinois in his young manhood, living near DeWitt. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he returned to his home state and enlisted in the 73rd Ohio regiment. After the war he returned to DeWitt, where he was active in land buying, selling and farming.

He starte the rather unusual hobby about a year ago when he discovered by accident that he could work with the honey harvesters without such protection as veils, gloves and other covering, and still have no stings. From then on, hiving swarms of bees that picked unorthodox places for their swarming, such as house or church walls, has been his after-work pastime.

Aug. 15, 1997: About 420 freshmen at Illinois State University will be housed in converted lounges this semester. The overflow is the result of a bigger-than-normal freshman class and the decision by many upperclassmen to remain in residence halls instead of moving off campus. University officials speculate that on-campus living has become more popular in recent years because of the food-court style dining options and overall lower cost.

BERWICK, Pa. — State police charged Adrian Oswaldo Sura Reyes, 24, with two counts of criminal homicide early Sunday morning.
Police say Sura Reyes, of Nescopeck, is the suspect in two incidents, which include driving a vehicle into a crowd at a busy fundraiser in Berwick and beating a woman to death in Nescopeck.
Two people are dead and 17 injured after two crashes in Berwick and Nescopeck Saturday evening.
The first crash happened just after 6 p.m. at Intoxicology Department along West 2nd Street in the borough.
People from the community were gathered at Intoxicology Department Saturday for a day-long event benefitting the families of the Nescopeck fire victims.
One person died as a result of that crash. Seventeen were injured and are being treated at several area hospitals.
Another crash along Ridgewood Avenue in Nescopeck happened shortly after. When police arrived, they found a woman dead and a man, later identified as Sura Reyes, who was then taken into custody.
The Luzerne County Coroner's Office identified that woman as Rosa D. Reyes, 56. According to the coroner's release, she was struck by a motor vehicle and assaulted with a hammer.
Sura Reyes was denied bail and is jailed in the Columbia County Correctional Facility. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 29 in Berwick.
Anyone who witnessed or has video of the vehicle plowing through the crowd in Berwick is asked to call state police or 9-1-1.

317 Project: Former army paratroopers find connection over weekly lunches
The 317 Project tells stories of life in all of Indianapolis’ vibrant neighborhoods – 317 words at a time.
On any given Wednesday, you’ll find a group gathered at Skyline Chili.
Every week, members of Tillman E. Beikes-Indianapolis All-Airborne Chapter of the 82nd Airborne Division Association get together for lunch. They're all former paratroopers, of many eras.
“They've got all of our orders memorized,” Ken Stiles said.
They catch up on their families, discuss their health and talk about current events.
“Just like anybody else that would get together," chaplain Gary Pitcock said, "and then (we) reminisce and talk about what we've done, or where we’ve been.”
The group remembers jump school, about the extra $55 a month in hazardous duty pay they were given to jump out of planes. They trade stories – lots of them.
What’s it like to jump out of a plane? It’s hard to explain, but peaceful and quiet, in a way.
Boynton Robson recalls jumps over many years. On his 70th, 80th and 90th birthdays, he went skydiving – but his 100th will be his last time. He turns 93 on Aug. 18.
“You always jump in sheer fear,” he said.
Chapter chairman Mike Mullins picks up the tab for everyone that day. “Thank yous” chorus around the table.
They’re back again the following week.
About halfway through the meal, another patron comes to the table to thank them. It’s not uncommon for someone to pick up their tab when they’re all out together, to thank them for their service.
As people get older, connection and friendship take on a new meaning.
“A lot of people kind of set the military back," Mullins said, "but as they get older, they want to basically go back and get with old buddies."
Despite any other differences they may have, they're all bonded by their service.
“It’s always going to be,” Gary Covey, national vice president, said, "a fraternal brotherhood."
They might not all be there every week, but some will always show up.

Motorcyclist killed in crash on West 11th Avenue in west Eugene
A motorcyclist was killed in a crash with a van Saturday night on West 11th Avenue in Eugene, according to the Eugene Police Department.
Shortly before 8 p.m., a 1995 Ford work van was going westbound on West 11th near Crow Road and made a left turn in front of a motorcycle traveling eastbound.
The motorcyclist crashed into the van and, despite attempts by bystanders to provide life-saving care, died at the scene, according to police spokeswoman Melinda McLaughlin.
The driver of the van was cooperative with investigators and the Eugene Police Major Collision Investigation Team is investigating the crash further, she said.
The department is withholding names until the family of the motorcyclist is notified.
West 11th Avenue was closed in both directions for several hours with the road reopening shortly after midnight, according to a news release. | https://www.registerguard.com/story/news/local/2022/08/15/motorcyclist-killed-crash-van-west-eugene-oregon/65403284007/ | 2022-08-15T11:17:53 | 1 | https://www.registerguard.com/story/news/local/2022/08/15/motorcyclist-killed-crash-van-west-eugene-oregon/65403284007/ |
He was a caddie in the 1940s. Now, 76 years later, he returned to play at Segregansett CC.
TAUNTON — It’s never too late to go back.
In the mid 1940s, young Rehoboth resident Les Bennett was a regular at Segregansett Country Club in Taunton. He was a caddie, sometimes hauling two bags at a time, and collected golf balls from the wooded perimeter of the course to sell to golfers. But in that time, and in all the years since, Bennett didn’t and hadn’t played a single hole at Segregansett.
On Aug. 9, more than 70 years since his last stop at the club, Bennett and his 44-year-old son Troy Bennett hit the links at Segregansett for the first time.
Temperatures were in the high 90s, with nowhere to hide from the sun, but the pair completed the 18-course. After, they were treated to lunch in the Segregansett clubhouse.
Bennett said the course has changed dramatically over the years. In his day as a caddie it was a nine-hole course. He said the current front nine was all new to him, but memories and scenes from the old days came into focus around the 12th hole.
“It was nine holes and I guess they added on later on. But I moved away from the area when I got older and went to the Air Force, so I'd never played there and I always wanted to,” Bennett said. “Every time I went by there I’d say I want to play there someday. My son always said we'll set up something and see if we can play there.
"So he set it up for us and it was fun, it was a good day. We just got in to the clubhouse and sat down to have lunch, and boy it down poured. We just beat the rain, but it was a nice day and it’s a nice course."

A golf bag on each shoulder
Bennett found his way to Segregansett Country Club in about 1944 or 1945 at age 10, and despite the protests of management found he could make good money unearthing lost golf balls in the woods surrounding the course and returning them to the Segregansett golfers who put them there… for a small fee. Not long after, he caught on with the caddie game and regularly hauled two golf bags at a time, one on each shoulder.
Bennett lived on Brook Street in Rehoboth at the time, and recalls riding his bike, his dog Smokey on his tail, from Brook Street to Route 118 and on to the intersection of Route 44. He’d stash his bike, and Smokey, who was always waiting upon return, behind a “variety store” on the corner.
"Smokey, he was my dog, and he used to follow me when I rode my bike and he followed me to where there used to be variety where 118 crossed 44 and I’d put my bicycle behind the store. They knew I had it there and the dog was there, too. He'd lay there, and when I came back he'd still be there. And I’d ride the bike back home."
From the corner store Bennett hitchhiked to the course.
“Those days you could thumb a ride and the people didn’t bother you,” he said. “So I thumbed up to the golf course, and if it was an afterschool affair I’d just walked in the woods and find golf balls and sell them to the players. I was about 10, maybe 11 years old then.
“I made money doing it. And I had 15 brothers and sisters, we lived in Rehoboth and we didn't have much money. So I’d go home and my mother would send me to the store to buy supper and I’d bring it home. It was made me feel good and it helped a lot.”
Caddies were not official club employees, but welcome, and Bennett says it was just a matter of finding a golfer or two who wanted someone to carry their clubs. Caddies worked for tips.
“I started caddying on weekends there and carrying two bags. It was only nine holes then, no carts, but the people were very good to you. I don't know whatever started me going in the beginning but it was a way to make some money and that's what I did.”
It wasn’t long before the family moved on to another town in the area, and that was that.

Then, 76 years later…
“Segregansett has made a great course that can compete with any course around here, I think, and they have some nice courses around here. It’s a wonderful course, and the people… I can't say enough good things about them. They were very nice,” Bennett said.
The property is much bigger today than in the 1940s, and Bennett said for the most part the course has completely transformed from his remaining memories from the place he used to work. But there were some familiar sights.
“It was when I crossed the street going to the 12th… in my mind I could see, and I said to my son, around this corner there was a stone house up on the hill. And I said that's where I used to come in off of 44 and go through the woods so nobody saw me coming to pick up golf balls, and that's how I left.
“I recognized quite a bit on that side, but they changed it a lot. The holes are longer, I could never caddy there today, that's a long course.”
Today, the Bennetts get out to golf about once a week.
Les started golfing in the 1960s, not until after eight years in the United States Air Force.
He made a living in the printing industry for many years and was a foreman at the Ad-A-Day Company in Weir Village in Taunton, which made calendars.
His other hobby is collecting, repairing and re-homing old wind-up Victrola-style record players. He says the interest began at an estate sale where he stumbled into and came home with his first Victrola.
“I fooled around with it, it didn't work and I found out the springs were gone in it. So I repaired the springs and got it playing and it was nice. I gave it to my daughter and then next thing I know I started looking for them.
"And a lot of people had them in the olden days. They had him in their living rooms, and then when electricity came around they put them in the cellar and left them cellar."
He says most people want the RCA Victor models, known by the company's signature dog looking into the Victrola horn scene used in ads.
But Bennett is also fond of Sonora brand Victrolas.
"It's advertised as ‘clear as a bell,’” he said. “They sound crystal clear. If you got a good needle it plays beautiful, and there's no wire, no speaker, no nothing.”

Worth the wait
All around, Bennett said it was a great day and that he looks forward to returning for another round.
“My son said he would like to play here again. He likes a challenge. On that course you can't just hit the ball far as you can hit it and just to go get it and hit it again. You gotta lay up on some holes, because there are brooks and hazards and stuff. And he likes that stuff. So he said we will have to play there again sometime.
“I never was a great golfer, but I everybody says I shoot pretty good for my age, so I say, oh yeah. I shot my age one day on a course around here. I shot an 87, so that was about my best.”

CROWN POINT — A man accused of shooting his girlfriend and two of her family members to death and setting the house he shared with them on fire in 2019 was scheduled to face a jury Monday.
Reginald J. Carter, 33, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and one count of arson.
He's accused of shooting his girlfriend Yoasha Carter and her cousin Dwayne Jones, 33, at close range and shooting her aunt Nefretiri Jones, 51, in the shoulder and chest before starting a fire at their home Oct. 25, 2019, in the 3500 block of West 20th Avenue in Gary.
All three victims did not have any soot in their tracheas, indicating they were killed before the fire started, according to Lake Criminal Court records. Their bodies were found in three separate rooms.
It wasn't the first time Yoasha Carter's residence was set ablaze, but Judge Salvador Vasquez denied Reginald Carter's motion to inform the jury this week of a suspicious fire Dec. 23, 2016, that resulted in the death of three children. Two of those kids were Yoasha Carter's.

Reginald Carter's attorney, John Cantrell, said the 2016 arson remains unsolved and a jury could get a false impression about Yoasha Carter's history if the information was withheld.
Yoasha Carter almost died as a result of the 2016 fire, and the jury should know she was an intended target, he said.
"It could leave the jury with the impression there can be no other suspects, but we believe there are other suspects," Cantrell said.
Lake County Supervisory Deputy Prosecutor Michelle Jatkiewicz said she was involved in reviewing the investigation into the 2016 arson, which involved a different residence at a different location and different suspects.
"This is just a red herring," she said. "It has no relevance to the 2019 fire."
The suggestion that there are other suspects in the 2019 fire is speculative in nature, she said.
"You can't speculate yourself into a defense," she said.
"It's a reach, without it being a logical or reasonable reach," he said.
The judge said he had not heard of any evidence suggesting the 2016 arson was connected to the 2019 arson and that the issue lacked "probative value."
Jury selection was expected to begin Monday morning. Attorneys could deliver opening arguments Monday afternoon.

An adult man was taken to a hospital in life-threatening condition after an overnight shooting on Reed Road, Fort Wayne police said.
Police were called to the 1600 block of Reed just before 1:30 a.m. on a report of a shooting, and found a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, city police said in a statement.
The man was not able to provide information about who shot him, the statement said. It said investigators were canvassing the area seeking witnesses or evidence. The shooting remains under investigation by city police and the Allen County prosecutor's office.

New Bismarck Mayor Mike Schmitz wants to make city government friendlier and more efficient.
Schmitz has released a list of three "guiding principles" for city leadership.
"We are looking to simplify, serve and streamline as much as we can," Schmitz said during last week's Bismarck City Commission meeting. "I think we're constantly doing that, and we just need to keep that top of mind."
A memo from Schmitz offers several examples for each of the principles. For example, under "simplify," guidance includes changing confusing forms, ensuring the city website is user-friendly, and reducing jargon in public materials.
Under "streamline," guidance includes being more business-friendly and creating a "one-stop approach" for city approvals. Under "serve," guidance includes acknowledging calls and emails within 24 hours, and improving customer service.

"Ideally, departments will identify areas that will improve processes and life for businesses and residents by the end of the fourth quarter and include those initiatives in their portfolio reports. If there is low-hanging fruit that is easy to resolve, get it done right away," Schmitz said in his memo. "Then identify the three initiatives that can make the greatest impact. Every quarter after that, report on the progress being made."
Schmitz said he also would like to see a section highlighting the improvements on the city website, www.bismarcknd.gov.

The sign greeted attendees of a rally at Allentown’s Stevens Park: “I was sent to solitary because I was cold.”
The sign abridged the experience of Sarah Jackson, a formerly incarcerated individual who spoke at the June 21 anti-solitary confinement protest, which was the kickoff event for a countywide campaign to gain public support to reform that type of punishment.
The campaign concluded Tuesday, falling short of getting enough signatures to put a ban on the ballot for the November election. But organizers say the reform effort will continue.
At the rally, Jackson shared an account of her tumultuous stay at Lehigh County Jail in 2021, which she called “the hardest thing [she’s] ever experienced in [her] life.”
Jackson said she spent five months out of her seven-month sentence in “the hole” — solitary — due to nonviolent actions spurred by her mental health difficulties.
She chewed through her mattresses because she was cold and was punished by being committed to solitary confinement. She was also committed for not following a direct order, although Jackson asserts that this was due to a lack of communication, rather than a problem with authority.
“I am not a rule breaker,” Jackson said. “I just suffer from mental health issues and I wasn’t given a rule book, nobody told me anything. They knew I suffered from mental health issues, and I felt like they were playing with me, taking advantage of me.”
Representatives of Lehigh County Jail and Lehigh County declined to comment and to provide information on the county’s solitary confinement policy.
The jail and county do not keep records of who is placed in solitary confinement, when or for what offense, results from a Freedom of Information Act request by The Morning Call showed.
The rally, organized and attended predominantly by women, contended that solitary confinement is an inhumane punishment, a source of trauma and an exacerbator of mental health difficulties. In signs, protesters cited the United Nations’ designation of solitary confinement as “torture.”
The punishment is “horrific” for how it induces mental strain, said Brenda “Luna” Fernandez, the founder of SELF! LV, a nonprofit that helps formerly incarcerated women reenter life in the Lehigh Valley.
“Plenty a night I sat there counting bricks or the steps of a cell, in a room with no window, alone with my thoughts and a bright, bright light,” Fernandez said. “Try sleeping with 24/7 fluorescent lights on.”
She added that she has PTSD from the experience and still feels “institutionalized.” According to Fernandez, her group wants jails and prisons to “treat people like humans.”
Lehigh Valley Stands Up, the organization spearheading the movement, hoped to collect 12,000 signatures following the June kickoff. LVSU is the Lehigh County chapter of the statewide organization Pennsylvania Stands Up, a political organizing group.
According to Ce-Ce Gerlach, lead organizer of LVSU, ending solitary confinement is a nonpartisan issue, with support from people of every political persuasion. She added that LVSU’s appeal is not to politicians, but to the public.
The campaign collected 5,000 signatures, but organizers retain hope for reforming solitary confinement in the near future.
According to Ashleigh Strange, director of Narrative and Communications for PA Stands Up, the campaign has shifted to “Plan B.” Members of the movement attended the Wednesday county Board of Commissioners meeting to present the signatures and discuss next steps.
“We had overwhelming support from the community, registered so many voters, got them engaged and involved, but we didn’t have enough to get it on the ballot this year,” Strange said. “But we showed [the Board of Commissioners] the signatures and said, ‘We did this because you acknowledged that there is a problem in the prison, and you still haven’t done anything about it. We still have these thousands of signatures from your constituents, from registered voters in your districts, so now you need to do something about this.’ ”
The Board of Commissioners agreed to discuss the issue and possible next steps at the Courts and Corrections meeting Sept. 7.
First Call
The campaign wants people to no longer be sent to solitary confinement for extended periods “unnecessarily,” meaning not for their safety or for the safety of others. The organizers also want the prison to begin keeping records on its solitary confinement practices.
According to Strange, the commissioners said they value and want to protect the mental health of incarcerated people.
“[Solitary confinement] is literal torture,” Strange said. “And it’s hidden torture because you only know about it if you are inside the prison system. Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect, and they are not doing that in the prison.” | https://www.mcall.com/news/local/allentown/mc-nws-allentown-end-solitary-confinement-movement-20220815-xkngmjucfjav3fq244ubixutna-story.html | 2022-08-15T12:01:54 | 0 | https://www.mcall.com/news/local/allentown/mc-nws-allentown-end-solitary-confinement-movement-20220815-xkngmjucfjav3fq244ubixutna-story.html |
ODESSA, Texas — At approximately 3:17 a.m. on Saturday, the Ector County Sheriff's Office and multiple fire departments got a call about a fire starting at a home in the 1500 block of Bridle Path.
"Crews were dispatched about 3:00 am this morning first arriving on scene encountered heavy, heavy fire conditions," said West Odessa Fire Chief Richard Pease.
Three people were in the trailer, and two of them got out.
"Two people were able to get out of the house and they confirmed that a third one was killed trapped inside, all rescue efforts were made that were possible they just were not successful due to fire conditions," Pease said. "We all have kids, I want to go home and hug mine. I mean, this is the worst of the worst. I'm a grown man and it just breaks my heart, it really does."
Everyone involved did what they could to try and save the 11-year-old girl that was stuck inside .
"Everybody just did everything they could do from the bystanders to the passerby on 16th street so it's a tragic situation and we will just keep the family and everybody in our thoughts and prayers and we'll help them out however we can," Pease said.
There is an ongoing investigation about how this fire started. For now, the family needs support from the community
"Keep the family in your prayers, help them out as best as you can and just reach out do anything," Pease said. "It's just tragic very tragic."
The Red Cross is helping the family and they said in a statement,
"Disaster-trained Red Cross volunteers have reached out to the family and will work with them to provide emergency assistance for their immediate needs as well as offer mental health services," said a spokesperson with the Red Cross. "In the coming days, Red Cross will continue to support the family by providing comfort and care." | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/fire-kills-11-year-old-girl/513-3a984eee-736e-497c-95be-05e12b2d3f73 | 2022-08-15T12:05:58 | 0 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/fire-kills-11-year-old-girl/513-3a984eee-736e-497c-95be-05e12b2d3f73 |

More than 300 doses of the monkeypox vaccine are available for eligible adults at a clinic in South Dallas.
Abounding Prosperity Inc. and its HOPE Health and Wellness Center are hosting a vaccine clinic for individuals at high risk and those in underserved communities in North Texas.
According to Abounding Prosperity Inc., the clinic is now open to eligible individuals by appointment only at HOPE Health and Wellness Center, located at 1619 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Clinic hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CT every Saturday while supplies last.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, monkeypox is a rare disease that can spread from person to person through respiratory secretions or direct contact with an infectious rash, scabs, or body fluids.
JYNNEOS is the only FDA-licensed vaccine in the U.S. that is approved for prevention of the monkeypox disease, Abounding Prosperity Inc. said.
Currently, there are more than 800 cases of monkeypox in Texas, according to the CDC.
Abounding Prosperity Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded to respond to social and health disparities affecting communities of color and LGBTQ+ communities in Dallas County. The nonprofit said it initially received 300 doses of the monkeypox vaccine from Dallas County Health and Human Services, and the doses will be administered at the clinic until they're depleted, the nonprofit said.
Local
The latest news from around North Texas.
"The limited supply of monkeypox vaccines is concerning for medically underserved communities and individuals at highest risk, as they are less likely to have access to care or the vaccine," said Kirk Myers-Hill, founder and chief executive officer at Abounding Prosperity Inc. "Hosting this clinic in South Dallas makes it easy for individuals to obtain the vaccine in their neighborhood. It is imperative for as many people as possible to take the vaccine to reach immunity."
Taking precautions like avoiding skin-to-skin contact with people who have symptoms, avoiding contact with objects and materials that a person with monkeypox has used, and washing your hands often can lessen your chances of contracting the disease, Abounding Prosperity Inc. said.
To determine eligibility and make an appointment to receive the vaccine at Abounding Prosperity Inc.'s HOPE Health and Wellness Center, visit the Monkeypox Vaccine Eligibility Pre-Screener.
Due to high demand that currently outweighs the available supply, only those who meet eligibility requirements will receive the vaccine, the nonprofit said. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/hundreds-of-doses-of-monkeypox-vaccine-available-for-eligible-adults-at-south-dallas-clinic/3048159/ | 2022-08-15T12:11:00 | 1 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/hundreds-of-doses-of-monkeypox-vaccine-available-for-eligible-adults-at-south-dallas-clinic/3048159/ |
HOMELESS VETERANS GRANT PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
VA published a proposed rule allowing Grant and Per Diem program (GPD) grantees to receive reimbursement for costs associated with serving the minor dependents of homeless veterans in the care of the veteran. The GPD program has provided community-based housing with supportive services for veterans since 1994 as they transition back to permanent housing. By the end of 2022, VA plans to place 38,000 homeless veterans into permanent housing. The VA GPD program provides grants to local community organizations and agencies to assist veterans in a variety of ways as they transition from homeless shelters and homelessness to regular employment and regular housing. Browse "VA Grant and Per Diem Program" or visit www.va.gov/homeless/gpd.asp for more information, including how community organizations can use GPD grants to assist homeless veterans.
PACT ACT FINALLY PASSES
The PACT Act (Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act) has been signed into law! The PACT Act expands access to VA health care services for veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their military service and waives the “income means” test for eligibility for access. While the changes reduce the number of veterans denied VA health care access, the number remains large. This means test especially impacts older veterans whose past employer no longer helps pay the cost of retiree health insurance. The act will increase compensation to Agent Orange-exposed veterans by about 600,000 of the 1.6 million living Vietnam (boots on the ground) veterans by adding to the Agent Orange exposed list, veterans who served in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Guam, American Samoa and Johnston Atoll. A significant change under the PACT ACT also includes the elimination of having to prove service connection on a claim for burn pit exposure. There are 23 new medical conditions that qualify as presumptives for burn pit exposure. This change greatly reduces the paperwork and time when a claim for service-connected disability is filed, because the veteran does not have to provide proof of exposure.

Q: I am a member of the National Guard. I received the COVID-19 vaccination as ordered by my command. I had my concerns about taking the vaccination for COVID-19 as ordered by the Pentagon directive for active-duty personnel. Unlike about 40,000 other members of the Guard, I took the vaccination. What is going on, that some members of the Guard who refused the vaccination have not been affected?
A: According to Military.com, National Guard does not have guidance policies, unlike active-duty formations, requiring Guard members to be separated under refusal to be vaccinated by order of the Pentagon. Part of the issue is that National Guard formations are under the authority of the states, not directly to the federal military. Several lawsuits have been filed by attorneys for Air Force and the Navy military members. Most of the judicial jurisdictions have ruled that members requesting a religious exemption from taking the vaccination cannot be discharged until a final ruling on their request for exemption. The Marine Corps has discharged 3,069 Marines with the vaccine refusal discharge code as of the start of July. The refusals to be vaccinated often state that the use of fetal cell lines in the creation of the vaccine is a point of contention for those with strict religious stances against abortion. Hopefully, when this issue is resolved it will not diminish the effectiveness of our military forces or be the beginning of further refusals to follow what, on the surface, appear to be legitimate orders. | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/veterans-corner-homeless-veterans-program-pact-act-q-a-on-covid-vaccines/article_3edcf9e8-1986-11ed-a6ff-87c69219aead.html | 2022-08-15T12:11:39 | 0 | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/veterans-corner-homeless-veterans-program-pact-act-q-a-on-covid-vaccines/article_3edcf9e8-1986-11ed-a6ff-87c69219aead.html |
Judge directs towing suit claiming Wilmington violates residents' rights to proceed
Nearly a year after attorneys filed a lawsuit against Wilmington and the private towing companies it contracts with claiming the city’s towing practices are unconstitutional, a federal judge advised attorneys the case will move forward.
“I don’t know when I’m going to get to this,” U.S. District Chief Judge Colm Connolly said Tuesday, remarking on how busy the court is. “The case is going to go forward – I’ll tell you that. Some aspect of the case is going forward.”
Last September, Wilmington residents Ameera Shaheed and Earl Dickerson filed a lawsuit saying the city is violating the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. According to the suit, the city allows private companies to tow legally parked cars that have unpaid parking tickets totaling over $200. If the owners do not pay the outstanding debt within 30 days, the tow companies can scrap the vehicles and keep the proceeds.
According to the suit, the city He suit by taking legally parked cars for unpaid parking tickets totaling over $200 and allowing private towing companies to scrap the vehicles and keep the proceeds if the owners do not pay the outstanding debt within 30 days.
BACKGROUND:Wilmington residents fight back, file suit challenging constitutionality of towing practices
TRAFFIC SAFETY:Are Wilmington’s red-light cameras a revenue trap or a safety measure? It depends.
Attorneys from the Institute for Justice – a Virginia-based national law firm focused on limiting the size and scope of government power – representing Shaheed and Dickerson claim the city is violating the Takings Clause by allowing tow companies to sell or scrap a vehicle without the value being credited to the owners’ parking ticket debt, which, in turn, amounts to an excessive fine.
“It comes down to the idea that someone should not lose their car for a couple of parking tickets. That is quintessentially an excessive fine, which violates the Eighth Amendment,” Institute for Justice attorney Will Aronin said following a court appearance last week. “Additionally, we have due process claims – if they’re going to just destroy someone’s car, there has to be some sort of process to say whether that is right. People shouldn’t just lose their property.”
City attorneys moved to dismiss the case in November, denying any wrongdoing or constitutional violations with its towing and impoundment practice.
Prior case law along with state and city laws allow for the towing and impoundment of vehicles, which city attorneys stressed is a “police purpose,” and courts have determined that these actions along with parking tickets are not “disproportionate to the offense,” Deputy City Solicitor Rosemaria Tassone-DiNardo said during the hearing.
According to the complaint, in 2020, 2,551 cars were towed in Wilmington and more than 38% of them were never returned to their owners, a figure that city attorneys contested in federal court but did not provide data countering those statistics.
“I don’t think it’s that high,” Tassone-DiNardo told Connolly. “These vehicles can be towed for more than tickets.”
Cars may be towed following a crash, the city attorney noted. Dismissing the data cited in the complaint, Tassone-DiNardo argued the two plaintiffs’ cases do not meet the threshold to prove that this is customary in Wilmington.
Wilmington denied a Freedom of Information Act request for data on the number of cars towed and ultimately scrapped or sold by its contractor last year citing the federal lawsuit.
The city, through its spokesman, declined to comment or provide an interview for this article.
Is towing cars a police or public purpose?
The constitutional challenges brought against Wilmington task attorneys with determining whether the city’s towing and impoundment practices are a police or public purpose.
Wilmington attorneys say the practices are a police function, therefore the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause does not apply, and the city does not have to compensate the owners for the scrapped cars. The federal clause protects citizens from government taking private property for a public use without just compensation.
They also argue that the Eighth Amendment, which prevents the government from imposing excessive fines, does not apply.
The federal judge pushed back on the city’s argument, telling attorneys, “You can’t have it both ways.”
The practice is either a “public purpose” function and the Takings Clause would apply, or it’s a “police purpose” and the plaintiffs “have a case that it’s an excessive fine,” Connolly said.
Under Wilmington’s current system, cars with more than $200 in parking tickets can be towed. While someone can appeal the ticket, the only way the towing company will release the impounded vehicle is if the owner resolves the fines, which Aronin has likened to a ransom. If owners do not claim their cars within 30 days, the private tow company can scrap the vehicle and keep the proceeds, per Wilmington’s contract.
Those proceeds are not used to pay off the alleged debt by the owner, Aronin said, nor are owners paid the surplus from the company disposing of the car.
“What our clients suffered is the loss of a car, it’s not the loss of steel and iron and leather. They lost their ability to get to the doctors. They lost their ability to get around,” he said. “A car ‒ and there are courts all over the country that have said this ‒ is really important to people.”
RELATED:1,800 parking tickets issued in Wilmington will be converted to warnings
Even if Shaheed were to purchase a new vehicle, that car could be seized as well because the city still claims she has outstanding parking tickets, Shaheed's attorney said.
While city attorneys pointed to other jurisdictions that have had their towing and impoundment practices upheld by the court, Aronin said – and the federal judge concurred – those cases are fact-based.
Other municipalities “take cars that are illegally parked and blocking traffic,” Aronin said.
They also do not include contractual language where the only way for private contractors to make money is by scrapping the cars, he said, and provide adequate opportunities to appeal those decisions.
“There really are inadequate procedural protections here,” Aronin said. “I don’t think I’ve seen a worse system.”

What are your rights as a renter in Delaware? Here’s what you need to know about that lease
As a first-time renter in Delaware, you may be a little wary about what you’re signing when it comes to your lease — a legal agreement that lays out the terms in which a tenant rents property owned by a landlord.
For help in understanding the details of leases, here’s what tenants need to know about rental rights and duties in Delaware, according to state code.
Ending the lease
If a Delaware tenant fails to pay rent when it is due, a landlord may issue a five-day notice to pay. If tenants do not pay, landlords can file for eviction.
The tenant may be able to stop the eviction by paying rent in full after the landlord has initiated the process, according to state code.
If a renter voluntarily wants to terminate their lease, state code says that written notice of at least 60 days from the end of the lease date is required.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS:Why it is so hard to find affordable housing in Delaware
Getting your security deposit back
After the expiration of a rental agreement, a Delaware renter may be entitled to twice the amount of the security deposit if the landlord doesn't return the funds.
State code states that the full security deposit much be returned within 20 days from the "forfeiture." Otherwise, landlords may be on the hook for even more.
Entering without permission
Landlords must provide at least 48 hours of advanced notice to enter a rental unit − unless repairs were requested by the tenant.
But that goes out the window if there's an emergency, in which case landlords are allowed to enter at any time.
Rental increases
A landlord or community owner must give written notice if your rent is going to increase. State code says they must do this at least 90 days before the rent increase will be enforced, but not more than 120 days.
Landlords may not increase a tenant’s rent more than once during any 12-month period, according to state code.
FOR SUBSCRIBERS:As pandemic funds dry up, hundreds face homelessness when motel vouchers expire Aug. 31
Changing the locks
Delaware does not set guidelines on who can change the locks on rental units.
State code states that “a tenant shall have the right to install a new lock at the tenant’s cost, on the condition that: the tenant notifies the landlord in writing and supplies the landlord with a key to the lock; the new lock fits into the system already in place; and the lock installation does not cause damage to the door.”

A young child is dead after a collision between a scooter and a car sent him flying Sunday night.
The accident happened around 9:30 p.m. at Bailey Avenue and West 193rd Street in the Kingsbridge Heights section. The boy was the passenger on a two-wheeled scooter driven by his father when it collided with a car.
The boy was taken to St. Barnabas and pronounced dead on arrival. His father was not injured.
Police say the driver of the car remained on scene. His brother-in-law told reporters the driver attempted CPR on the child before paramedics arrived.
Pictures from the scene show heavy damage to the scooter and to one side of the car.

'Miss Ruby,' Bealsville folk artist and farmer, dies
Produce stand launched art career that brought national fame
Ruby C. Williams created her own universe on the south side of S.R. 60, conjuring characters as adeptly as she cultivated mustard greens, strawberries and squash. The cast included the impeccably dressed Bonnie Bon Bonnie and her boyfriend, Cleaver, along with piano-toting cows, talking cats and other animals of her own envisioning.
Williams, a self-taught artist who bragged about putting her native hamlet of Bealsville on the map, died Monday at an age that remained a carefully concealed secret, though she was apparently in her 90s.
A big heart:Rick Olivo remembered for artistry, generosity
Auguste Rodin on display:Polk Museum opening Rodin exhibition
Williams embraced painting in late middle age as an outgrowth of the signs she had made for years to advertise the produce stand she operated in Bealsville, just across the county line from Polk County in Hillsborough County.
Jeanine Taylor, an art dealer who promoted Williams’ work at her Sanford gallery, recalled that decades ago a Miami gallery owner noticed Williams’ stand while driving past on S.R. 60. Recognizing the artist of the hand-painted signs, such as a single strawberry against a bright yellow background, the dealer stopped in and offered to buy some of the displays.
Before long, the man returned to buy more of Williams’ signs. Taylor said Williams grew perturbed about the need to paint replacement signs.
“So she got mad, and the then one of the next things she painted was, she said, ‘I painted the fiercest thing I could think of,’ and that was an alligator,” Taylor said.
The reptile, which would become one of Taylor’s signature motifs, stretched with its mouth open and teeth exposed, surrounded by the printed phrase: “Tired of being the good guy.”
“She didn't let people run over her,” Taylor said. “Some people said she was testy. I say she was just strong willed and looked out after herself.”
However irksome Williams initially found the sign buyer to be, she soon realized she could supplement her produce business by making and selling artwork. Thus emerged what she labeled on a large, hand-painted sign, “Ruby’s Produce and Art Gallery.”
From Bealsville to D.C.
Williams became a farmer/painter in the early 1980s but didn’t start displaying her work until the early 1990s, after receiving encouragement from another folk artist, Rodney Hardee, after he visited her produce stand. Hardee introduced her to photographer Bud Lee, who arranged Williams’ first gallery showing in Plant City, The Ledger has reported.
Williams’ paintings would later be displayed at the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum in Washington, D.C. Her simple works, usually painted on plywood, have sold for as much as $65,000 she told a Ledger reporter in 2012.
Her cousin, Precious C. Baker of Lakeland, said she knows of someone in London who bought one of Williams’ paintings.
Williams, known as “Miss Ruby,” lived her entire life on the family property in Bealsville, a rural enclave founded by people freed from slavery. She learned to farm from her parents and as an adult cultivated a range of crops — such as sweet potatoes, peppers and three types of greens — that she sold from the rustic stand along the highway between Brandon and Mulberry.
The artist’s approach was rudimentary. She used unmixed acrylic paint that she squeezed from tubes directly onto wood and then spread with large brushes. The effect, though, inspired appreciation among academics and art professionals, who in recent decades have embraced what is variously called folk art, naïve art and outsider art, work produced by untrained artists using simple materials.
Williams’ paintings generate a range of potential descriptors: buoyant, immediate, whimsical, charming, humorous, vivid, unpretentious, audacious, sly and joyous.

Among her repeated motifs, one of the most popular was a rendering of a cow with piano keys covering its back and the printed phrase: “Piano Playing Cow. I Give Better Buttermilk.” Taylor said the idea for that one arose one day as Williams gazed into a pasture across the highway from her property.
“I just get such a kick out of these,” Taylor said. “I mean, her imagination ran wild and everybody loved it. They'd say, ‘Well why do you name it ‘Piano Playing Cow?’ And she’d say, ‘Because that's what I thought up.'”
Williams came to recognize the value of her art. She posted a sign warning, “Don’t Take Photos” at her produce stand, where she customarily wore a white cap with “Artist Ruby RCW” painted on the front.
Remembered as visionary
Baker grew up in Lakeland and often visited her grandmother, who lived down the road from the Williams property.
“She was quite a — I don't even know the word to say, but an interesting lady,” Baker said. “She was very outgoing. Cousin Ruby just illuminated with adventure. She was a sightseer. Like, she could see things.”
Baker has one of Williams’ paintings displayed in her Lakeland home. It depicts a boy wearing a baseball glove on one hand and holding a racquet in the other, with the phrase, “Learn To Work Also. Hm. Hm."
“Every painting she did had a meaning behind it,” Baker said. “And she would paint as it would come to her heart and was a beautiful folk artist, just wonderful. And the price you paid for her work was worthy of, you know, what she had painted.”
The Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland owns some of Williams’ work and has exhibited her paintings in various shows. For years, the artist was a regular presence at the Mayfaire-by-the-Lake art show that the museum organizes.
As Baker recalled, Williams operated on the honor system at her stand when she wasn’t there.
“She was so faithful to trust people to come and buy her vegetables that she would leave a tin can out front when she was not there for you to put your money in that can and make your own change and get the bunch of greens or sweet potatoes or whatever was in season,” Baker said. “You’d pick your vegetables but you left your money in the can. I thought, ‘That's a very trusting heart.’”

Kathy Gibson, a St. Petersburg resident who grew up in Lake Wales, said she met Williams at her property about 25 years ago. Gibson is an independent curator and art consultant, helping to place works into businesses and homes, and she often hosted events at her home to introduce potential buyers to Williams. The art usually brought samples of her crops to supplement the paintings hung on Gibson’s walls.
“Often when people would come to my house and they’d meet her or they’d buy a piece of her art, then they would go out to her stand because they did want to learn more about her and be in her environment,” Gibson said. “And it just was kind of an adventure to be there because she was just so funny and wise and spiritual. And you'd always learn things when you were with her.”
Gibson, the daughter of Lake Wales City Commissioner Robin Gibson, helped arrange an exhibit of Williams’ work at a Hillsborough Community College campus in 2013. She also participated in a conversation with Williams recorded in Sarasota for StoryCorps, a non-profit organization that preserves interviews sometimes aired on NPR stations.
Gibson owns a few of Williams’ pieces. One is a dramatically horizontal sign merely bearing the hand-lettered phrase, “Wait on the Lord.” Gibson recalled once noticing that a chicken in one of Williams’ paintings had a “little tag” sticking up from its body.
She asked what the thing was, and Williams replied that chickens don’t have arms and therefore need something to hold their purses in place.
Taylor, the gallery owner who represented Williams, escorted her in 2005 to the State Capitol in Tallahassee, where Williams received a Florida Folk Heritage Award. Four years later, Williams collected an Award of Distinction from the Folk Art Society of America.
For more than two decades, Williams hosted a harvest celebration gathering for family and friends on the first Saturday of November. Williams and her relatives prepared a feast that included ribs, cornbread, greens and potato salad, Baker recalled.
Gibson attended many of those gatherings, which she said continued until the pandemic. The events gave Williams a chance to preach, something she had done throughout her life. Many of her paintings contain references to God or biblical allusions.
“She always said she was going to preach first and we’d get to eat after that,” Gibson said. “And then she’d say, ‘Goodbye, art,’ because she was selling art, showing art and preaching. But she was always about preaching first.”
'A million' paintings
Williams co-authored "I Am Ruby," an autobiographical children’s book full of her illustrations, with Sylvia McCardell-Thomasson.
Williams was more comfortable speaking to children in classrooms than to artistic types in galleries, friends said. Taylor sometimes accompanied Williams on excursions to schools.
“She’d come in and she'd have boards all cut for the children,” Taylor said. “And she talked about her artwork, and they really could relate to her because it was kind of primary — primary colors, no mixing, no blending of the colors.”
In 2012, Williams visited a class at Janie Howard Wilson Elementary School in Lake Wales, bringing along some of her paintings, including one of a boy carrying a green sack labeled, “Bag Full of Love.”
When a student asked how many paintings she had made, Williams answered, “A million.”
One number Williams kept closely concealed was her age. When Taylor posted about Williams’ death on her newsletter, she gave the artists’ age as 92. She soon received a text from an associate saying Williams was actually 96, and another claimed she was 94, Taylor recalled with a laugh.
“And here's the reason she said, ‘I don't want to tell anybody my age — because I want them to buy my art now,’” Taylor said. “And if I tell them my age, they'll wait until I'm older.’ That was her reasoning.”
Williams gave a different explanation when denying a reporter’s request for her age during the visit to the school in Lake Wales.
"I'm famous now,” she said. “I can say, ‘No.' That's one of the last things I've got left.”
Williams is survived by a son and many grandchildren, Baker said. Williams had a daughter who died about a decade ago. Reached by phone, the artist’s son said he was too upset to speak.
A funeral service is planned for Aug. 20. The details were not available Friday afternoon.

INDIANAPOLIS — New Element Barber opened in central Indiana in 2020, bringing the barbershop experience inside an RV.
Antwain "Kuts" Booker, who has been cutting hair his entire career, took on this venture to bring his barbershop experience to different communities in central Indiana.
"I want to change that lane and give a luxury feel to what I want to offer to the city of Indianapolis," Booker said.
Along with a great haircut, New Element Barber features multiple TVs, a full bar and music. It was a business idea he had in 2013 that finally came to fruition a couple years ago.
"I went home and Googled it," Booker said. "I was like, 'Wow, let me get this started.'"
It's been a leap of faith that's paid off.
"I'm happy that I did this, man," Booker said. "I'm happy when I see people come on here and tell me, 'Man, this truck is nice, man."
New Element Barber runs Thursday through Monday, making stops in Fountain Square, Broad Ripple, Zionsville, Carmel and Fishers.

The price tag
"The total for all 4 sites is $18,995,000, but the house site itself which is 1.51 acres is $11,995,00.

WINSLOW, Maine — The first eight months of 2022 saw 25 fatalities involving motorcyclists, while the entirety of 2021 saw 22, according to the Maine Department of Transportation.
The increased number in fatalities is a shock, even to longtime motorist Mike Perkins, who has nearly 20 years of experience teaching motorcycle safety at KMD Driving School in Winslow.
"It's always a shock when you see people killed on a motorcycle," Perkins said. "People were locked away for two years, and now they want to get away and have fun. ... They don't have time to take the course."
But at Perkin's latest class on Sunday, 11 motorists finished their training and passed the test, obtaining a motorcycle license.
One of the motorists, Ed Brown, has been biking since he was 15. He said he had to go through the process again after living outside the country.
"It feels good to get it back," Brown said.
Brown said he is a first responder and is concerned about the rise in motorcycle deaths.
"I am a firefighter for the city of Waterville. It is disturbing," he said about the motorcycle deaths. "It could be avoided with education like with this course."
Perkins adds the increase in deaths should also be considered with the higher number of riders on the road.
"Last year we did over 3,000 riders. This year we are looking at 2,700 riders," Perkins said.
Perkins said when done right, it's easy to avoid mistakes and stay attentive on the road.
"If you want to go ride, then go ride. Just enjoy the scenery but you can't be enjoying the scenery at 100 miles per hour." | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/maine-motorcycle-deaths-higher-than-2021/97-9351cb7d-ec5b-48f8-ace6-3015f811834f | 2022-08-15T12:54:39 | 1 | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/maine-motorcycle-deaths-higher-than-2021/97-9351cb7d-ec5b-48f8-ace6-3015f811834f |
LANCASTER, Texas — A man was fatally shot during an argument at a youth football game Saturday evening in Lancaster, south of Dallas, police said in a news release.
Police identified the suspect as Yaqub Salik Talib, who remained wanted by authorities on Sunday afternoon.
The shooting at the football game happened about 8:50 p.m. at the Lancaster Community Park at 1749 Jefferson Street in Lancaster, which is in southeast Dallas County.
Police said responding officers were told of a "disagreement among coaching staff and the officiating crew," according to a news release.
While the disagreement unfolded, the coaches got into a physical altercation, and one of the people involved in the fight fired a gun. One man was shot, police said.
He was taken to a hospital, where he later died, according to the news release.
While authorities haven't officially released an identification, coaches with the youth team D.E.A. Dragons told WFAA the victim was Mike Hickmon.
“We saw one of our coaches laying down on the ground right there. It was tough," Dragons' president Mike Freeman said. “More than just a coach. Great father, great man, great role model, great mentor.”
Police named Yaqub Talib as the suspect, but more information about his involvement in the shooting was not released.
Talib is the brother of former NFL cornerback Aqib Talib. Both are coaches on the North Dallas United Bobcats, the other team playing at the time of the shooting.
Tevar Watson owns the team and was on another field cleaning up at the time of the shooting. He's been friends with Hickmon for roughly a decade after the two played in a 9v9 adult football league.
“I think it’s all senseless, man. Yesterday was probably the worst day of my life man," he said. “Lost a good guy. What we call a standup guy, one of the guys that’s there for his family.”
Watson said roughly 80 kids were in the area when it happened.
“I held my son after that for 20 minutes of him just crying because no kid should have to see that," he said.
Freeman said the argument started when Hickmon went to pick up a football and someone kicked it away. That led to the fighting and eventually the shooting.
Hickmon, 43, had been an offensive coordinator on the team for two years and made a name for himself playing at Maceo Smith High School and then the University of North Texas. His son was one of the 9-year-olds on the field at the time of the shooting.
“I held his son, Little Mike Jr, and I held him like my son, and it was very, very, very hard to hold him and console him because again – just letting him know that we’ll be there for him," Freeman said.
The team will begin school Monday, just two days after the shooting, and Freeman said they're trying to get counselors for the team.
“I’m lost at words. I don’t know how to explain it to the kids. That’s the part that I’m stuck on right now. How do I explain it them. Why?," Freeman said. “This is something that these kids will remember for the rest of their life. They’ll never forget this moment.”
Police were asking anyone with information about Talib's whereabouts to call detective Senad Deranjic at 972-218-2756.
"The only thing that I want right now is just justice," Freeman said. "That’s all." | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/yaqub-talib-lancaster-football-shooting-man-wanted-in-killing-of-another-man-at-a-lancaster-youth-football-game-police-say/287-146f7389-c53d-4f04-9b7b-7e976d01de85 | 2022-08-15T12:54:45 | 1 | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/yaqub-talib-lancaster-football-shooting-man-wanted-in-killing-of-another-man-at-a-lancaster-youth-football-game-police-say/287-146f7389-c53d-4f04-9b7b-7e976d01de85 |
BEL AIRE, Kan. (KSNW) – According to the City of Bel Aire, due to concrete buckling on East 53rd St N, it has been blocked off from N Pebblecreek St to N Cypress Dr.
According to the City, “The concrete has buckled about 12 inches.”
The City is asking residents to avoid the area.
The City’s Facebook page says the buckling is considered “an emergency repair” and that they are trying to get it completed as soon as possible.
According to the Kansas Department of Transportation’s Public Affairs Manager, Tom Hein, the reason for the buckling is moisture and heat.
“Concrete is in plates, and when the moisture is down there, and then, you add heat on top of that, and you get that expansion, plates tend to act against each other, or fight against each other, and eventually, they find a way to release that pressure, and that’s what we see out on the concrete pavement,” said Hein. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/buckling-concrete-blocks-off-street-ne-of-wichita/ | 2022-08-15T12:59:03 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/buckling-concrete-blocks-off-street-ne-of-wichita/ |

Two Maryland filmmakers known for helping expand commercial advertising and the film and television industry in the Baltimore-Washington area have died in a car crash on I-95 in Delaware, according to authorities and an associate.
Martin Whittier, 37, and Nate Brubaker, 27, died Thursday night after a box truck collided with their car, which Delaware State Police said had become disabled in a lane on a stretch of Interstate 95 near Newark, The Baltimore Sun reported. The truck struck the car from behind — pushing it toward the shoulder — and then caught fire, pinning the men inside their vehicle, according to police. The truck driver wasn't injured.
Andrew Geraci, a filmmaker and friend of the men, said that Whittier and Brubaker were returning Thursday to Maryland from a production in Philadelphia.
Brubaker, of Halethorpe, was considered a pioneer in virtual production filming, and created the first large-scale LED wall in the Baltimore and Washington region, Geraci said. Whittier, of Havre de Grace, started or owned camera equipment companies in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Alexandria, Virginia, before selling his company recently, the newspaper reported. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/maryland-filmmakers-die-i-95-delaware-crash/3335138/ | 2022-08-15T13:11:04 | 1 | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/maryland-filmmakers-die-i-95-delaware-crash/3335138/ |

SAN ANTONIO — Thanks to a neighbor, a homeowner was alerted to a fire in their garage and they were able to call firefighters to prevent it from spreading to their home.
Firefighters were called out to the 700 block of W. Malone on the south side of town around 1:28 a.m. Monday.
When first responders arrived, they worked quickly to attack the fire located in the garage, hoping to prevent it from spreading to the roof of the home.
Firefighters were able to put out the fire within minutes after arriving.
The battalion chief said a neighbor alerted the resident that her home was catching fire and she quickly called 9-1-1.
Fire crews checked for signs of fire in the garage attic and found it to be all clear.
Investigators were called in to try and figure out what caused the fire.
It is unclear if the fire started inside the garage or outside.
No injuries were reported and the damage to the home was estimated to be about $5,000.
No other details were provided and the fire is currently under investigation.

SAN ANTONIO — Police are still searching for four passengers who were inside a sedan when it crashed into an Uber driver seriously injuring the passenger.
It happened around 12:46 a.m. early Monday morning at the intersection of N. Elmendorf St. and W. Woodlawn Avenue.
Police say officers witnessed a red sedan get involved in a crash in the McCullough area, then flee from the location. SAPD officers were able to locate the sedan and pulled the driver over. As soon as the officer got out of his patrol car, the driver of the sedan drove off. A police chase ensued, and the sedan ended up t-boning another car at the intersection of W. Woodlawn Ave and N. Elmendorf St.
A police sergeant on the scene said five people were inside the sedan and four of them got away after the accident. Officers were able to detain the woman driving.
According to police, an Uber driver and his passenger were in the vehicle that was t-boned. The female passenger was taken to University Hospital in serious condition and the Uber driver was treated and released on scene with only minor Injuries. The passenger had been stuck inside the vehicle until firefighters pried open the door to get her out.
K-9 and air support were both called in to aid in the search for the four who fled from the location, but police came up empty handed.
It's unclear if intoxication was a factor in both crashes but police will be investigating. No word on any charges filed on the driver.
No other injuries and no other details were provided.

SAN ANTONIO — Thousands of students in East Central ISD will be heading back to class Monday for the first day of school.
The first day is exciting for lots of teachers and students, but Oak Crest Elementary is also celebrating something exciting.
One of their own, Mr. Robert Lawson has been named Region 20’s Teacher of the Year.
The title represents all of Bexar County.
Mr. Lawson teaches fourth grade and has been a teacher for 16 years.

The school's principal, Joette Barnes, says he creates community for his students.
He also finds ways to create opportunities that others may not think about doing.

SAN DIEGO — A La Jolla mansion once owned by Dr. Seuss is for sale for the first time in 75 years.
"The front door actually has etched glass from the hat from 'The Cat in the Hat," said Jason Barry, co-owner of Barry Estates, a real-estate firm hand picked by University of California San Diego to list the home.
The long time San Diegan, Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss purchased the home in 1947. He lived there until 1991 while he worked on many of his best selling books inside the upstairs studio of the mansion.
A true La Jolla masterpiece
The 5,000 square foot property sits atop Mount Soledad.
The mansion features:
- Three bedrooms
- Offices
- Pool
- Four acres of 270 degree panorama views overlooking the La Jolla coastline
- Inside the house, behind a bookshelf, is a secret hideaway as well.
It's up for sale by its current owners UCSD, home to the Giesel Library and comes with a hefty price tag.
The price tag
"The total for all 4 sites is $18,995,000, but the house site itself which is 1.51 acres is $11,995,00.
The property is split up into other smaller lots ranging from $3.9 to just under $12 million each.
"He could have purchased anywhere in the world and this is where he chose 75 years ago," said Barry.
Proceeds from the sale will go towards the Geisel fund which will benefit UCSD campus projects.
“This is a colossal estate and one of a kind offer. So, when this is gone, it is gone!" said Barry.
As the author once wrote, "You are off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!”
How to apply
Bids are due before 5 p.m. August 17

What to know about GLWA water main break: What communities are impacted, how long until fix
A water main break Saturday near the regional water authority’s water treatment facility in St. Clair County prompted it to place nearly two dozen communities under boil water advisories.
The water main distributes finished drinking water from the Great Lakes Water Authority's Lake Huron Water Treatment Facility to communities in the northern part of the water supplier's service area.
On Sunday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Lapeer, Macomb, Oakland, and St. Clair counties due to the break.
Also Sunday, officials with the Great Lakes Water Authority said crews restored water pressure to communities impacted by the break. The pressure is not at its normal level, but there is enough for sanitary use.
They also said crews isolated the break in the 120-inch water transmission main and have started the process of removing water from the site to prepare the area for repairs. A replacement pipe has been ordered and is on its way from Texas.
What communities remain under the advisory
As of Sunday, seven communities with a total population of about 133,000 were still under the boil-water advisory. Those communities are:
► Village of Almont
► Bruce Township
► Burtchville Township
► Imlay City
► Rochester
► Shelby Township
► Washington Township
What people need to do
Under the boil water advisory, people should not drink water from faucets and taps without boiling it first. The water should be boiled for at least one minute and then cooled before use.
Boiled, bottled or disinfected water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and preparing food until further notice.
What the state of emergency means
The governor's declaration authorizes the Michigan State Police and its Emergency Management & Homeland Security Division to coordinate efforts to help residents affected by the water main break. State officials said representatives from the agency are on the scene with local emergency management officials and supporting emergency operation centers.
How long it will take
Great Lakes Water Authority officials have said it could take about two weeks before the water main break is fully repaired.
For information, contact the Great Lakes Water Authority's Water Quality Division at waterquality@glwater.org or (313) 926-8192 or (313) 926-8128. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/08/15/glwa-water-main-break-boil-water-advisory-what-to-know/10326499002/ | 2022-08-15T13:33:02 | 1 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/08/15/glwa-water-main-break-boil-water-advisory-what-to-know/10326499002/ |
WATERLOO — Gospel singer Rodney Richardson’s career is about to pick up some momentum. Richardson, whose stage name is “Reborn Rich,” has two singles that soon will be released through online streaming services.
Later this month, he starts classes in the digital mass media program at Hawkeye Community College. In December, his gospel album, “414A,” will be released.
At the same time, he is facing a series of personal difficulties that could undo his accomplishments and career plans. The owner of Rich Son Records, a debut platform for emerging artists, Richardson presented his business plan for a small business loan last week on the same day he was in court fighting an eviction notice.
“Everything is on the line,” said Richardson, a Rockford, Ill., native who has lived in Waterloo since 2005. “I have faith in God, and I believe he has led me in this direction. I want my music to help people. I’m aware of the trials and tribulations we all go through, and we’re supposed to help one another and lean on each other, or everything will fall.”
People are also reading…
Richardson was left struggling financially in the wake of the pandemic. When businesses shut down two years ago, he was no longer able to work on recordings with clients, particularly because singing in close quarters could spread the virus. His income dropped precipitously, and he fell behind on his rent. He didn’t qualify for the COVID-19 Paycheck Protection Program.
Now he is determined to persevere in face of his financial obstacles.
Richardson grew up in church singing gospel music and spirituals and learned to play keyboards, guitar and drums. His mother, the Rev. Ella Richardson, is pastor, founder and CEO of New Birth Kingdom Pentecostal Deliverance Church in Rockford, Ill.
But at some point as he grew older, he drifted away from both biblical teachings and music and made some poor choices. He served seven months for driving under the influence of alcohol at Mount Pleasant Correctional Facility, where he connected with Chaplain Joe Pranito. Pranito reignited Richardson’s faith, and the inmate ended up as his assistant chaplain.
Richardson recorded his first single, “Promise,” at Mount Pleasant, which has a recording studio he helped set up for inmates. The Courier requested an interview Pranito, but he was unable to comment at press time.
“I’d lost my way. I had to find my way back to God,” Richardson explained.
“Being inside, being incarcerated, made me think about who I wanted to be and helped me get back to God’s message. He is the one. My spirit has a heightened sense of responsibility to myself, to my family and to everyone around me to show compassion.”
Finding self-expression through music, he said, and working with aspiring artists is rewarding.
“I think it helps steer people away from violence. You can work out aggressions and get the outbursts out by channeling them into music.”
His gospel album title, “414A,” may read like an address. It actually means “For Once and For All,” Richardson said, which speaks to his soul. He composed the music and lyrics, played the instruments and produced and recorded 15 songs for the album.
Richardson wants to pre-sell at least 200 albums in a “Save Our Voices” campaign to keep his studio afloat and “save this music ministry. Being able to put God’s message into words and into songs and to use music as a tool to help others, that’s what I want to do.”
On Sept. 17, he’ll perform at the Eastside Ministerial Alliance’s African American Festival from 11 to 7 p.m. The festival will take place at the restored railroad boxcar on the African American Historical and Cultural Museum at East Fourth and Adams streets.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – The Wichita International Rescue Committee has seen an influx of refugees this year.
The Wichita IRC helps refugees resettle in Wichita year round.
About a year and a half ago, they had only 20 people on staff.
“Now, we have more than 80 staff members and still not enough just because of the number of refugees that have come to Wichita,” said Yeni Telles, Wichita IRC deputy director.
This year the IRC resettled more than 400 refugees from Afghanistan and more than 200 from countries such as Syria, Sudan, and the Republic of Congo.
This influx is not normal compared to years past, and IRC is trying to keep up by finding more staff.
They help the refugees get housing, how to use transportation, understand the education system, and help with all other things when it comes to living in Wichita.
Telles said while it can be overwhelming for staff to try and help these new families, it is helping diversify the Wichita population.
“In Wichita, we have different companies that are reaching out to us because they need staff. So, I think increasing the number is beneficial to our economy overall cause now we have more employees that we can hire,” Telles added.
The Wichita IRC takes in about five refugees a week right now.
They are expecting even more to come this fall and resettle in Wichita.
Volunteers and donations are always needed for new refugees, you can find out more here. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/wichita-international-rescue-committee-sees-influx-of-refugees/ | 2022-08-15T13:43:37 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/wichita-international-rescue-committee-sees-influx-of-refugees/ |
The Heart of Stark: Creating unity through stacks of pancakes
In partnership with The Repository, every Monday, Stark Community Foundation is highlighting positive happenings in our community. Here’s to Good News Mondays!
At the latest Jackson Local Schools Foundation board meeting, Susie Gindlesberger, Jennifer Herold and Janelle Winkhart were presented with the Jim Camp Visionary Leadership Award for their work with the Unity in the Community Pancake breakfast.
Because of their time, dedication and vision, hundreds of volunteer students, teachers, administrators and community members came together to raise money and help struggling local families through the Jackson Local Schools Foundation and other philanthropic programs.
More good news:Heart of Stark: Massillon Public Library opens new teen space
For 12 years, more than 3,000 people from the Jackson Township community gathered in the Jackson High School commons and bonded over stacks of pancakes — more than 100,000 pancakes, 1,200 gallons of syrup and 60,000 sausage links, to be exact — to better the lives of students in need.
Gindlesberger, Harold and Winkhart worked tirelessly for years to ensure the event gave the community a reason to share a meal together for a greater cause. Residents visited with each other, friends traded hugs and handshakes, students served senior citizens, children's art covered the placemats and chalk drawings lined the sidewalk to bring a sense of camaraderie to the community.
With funds raised through the breakfast, two scholarships for graduating Jackson High School seniors were created. When the event reached its end because of COVID, the Jackson Local Schools Foundation continued the generous spirit of the event by assuring the survival of the scholarships and taking care of families in need. Jackson Local Schools Superintendent Chris DiLoreto often said that the ladies were "a miracle for those families."
The award, established in 2021 and named after longtime Jackson Local Schools Foundation member and board President Jim Camp, honors his years of service and those who share his passion for the school system and its community.
Stark Community Foundation helps individuals, families, businesses and nonprofits achieve their philanthropic goals through a variety of charitable funds and strategic initiatives. Ranked in the top 10% of community foundations in the country, the foundation and its family of donors have granted $215 million to nonprofits since 1963.

Former industrial plant in Minerva could get new life thanks to Imperial Aluminum
MINERVA ‒ Traces of asbestos and lead are standing in the way of an anticipated expansion of Imperial Aluminum at a former industrial site in the 200 block of Bridge Street.
The building formerly housed Kepcor/Structural Stoneware. To fulfill plans to raze a portion of the structure, Imperial Aluminium officials first have to remove the lead and asbestos.
The company is getting help from Carroll County commissioners, who are seeking $105,000 of state grant funding to pay for the required cleanup.
"I think they have some lead-based caulking and some asbestos," Commissioner Christopher Modranski said. "They have to do some cleanup before they can utilize the property. The grant will allow them to hire a contractor to remove hazardous material."
More: About MinervaCheck out this in Minerva
Imperial Aluminium at 217 Roosevelt St. engages in recycling of aluminium. The aluminium recycling plant is in close proximity to the former Kepcor/Structural Stoneware building.
Attempts to contact Doug Wike, general manager of the Imperial Aluminium plant, were not successful. The vacant structure was acquired by Imperial Aluminium late in 2021.
"I know they plan to tear down most of that structure," said Denise Freeland, executive director of the Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce. "I think they want to keep a part of it. I believe they plan to build maybe a break room and locker rooms for their employees."
Imperial Aluminium is on the south side of Minerva. which falls within Carroll County.
The county's grant application went to Ohio Development Services.
"They have a separate grant for the demolition," Modranski said. "The demolition grant has been approved by the state."
That grant is for $113,5000.
"I think we are all in favor of expansion of an existing business in the village," village Administrator Philip Turske said.
Carroll County officials saw the need to offer assistance to Imperial Aluminium with this expansion project.
"There is a rundown factory building that is no longer in use," Modranski said. "It is helping the company and it is helping the community. There could potentially be some additional employees hired. It will provide an opportunity for additional growth for Imperial Aluminium." | https://www.cantonrep.com/story/news/local/2022/08/15/imperial-aluminum-eyes-for-industrial-site-for-expansion-in-minerva/65392523007/ | 2022-08-15T13:46:48 | 1 | https://www.cantonrep.com/story/news/local/2022/08/15/imperial-aluminum-eyes-for-industrial-site-for-expansion-in-minerva/65392523007/ |
In memory of her dad: Women's friendship blossoms to tackle unfinished kitchen project
TUSCARAWAS TWP. − There is serendipity, and then there is the universe tweaking a few things here and there to ensure people are in the right place at the right time.
Back in May, when Ronnie Hill entered into hospice care, Ashley Black was not supposed to be his case manager. But when another patient requested Black, Hill, who lived nearby, was added to her list.
While caring for Hill, Black and his daughter, Ashley Duffield, discovered they had more things in common than just their first names.

More on Charita GoshayMeet the author
Both are nurses and mothers of young children. And both are daughters of fathers who loved working with wood.
Who is Ronnie Hill?
Ronnie Hill, a Jackson Township resident, was a interior remodeler and cabinet builder for Gary Gill Construction.
"Give him a picture and he could build it," Duffield said. "He could do anything, tile, painting. He did my whole house. He's built beds, dressers, vanities, built-in cabinets, kitchens and even a 'tree' bookcase for his grandsons. He also had the biggest heart and would do anything for anyone. Always happy, go lucky and positive."
Black's dad, John Kenneweg, also builds furniture, cabinets and other custom pieces at his Tuscarawas Township shop Kenneweg's Wood Products.
Duffield said Hill had begun working on her new kitchen when he became ill with cancer.
"He started my cabinets over the winter," she said. "We're building a 1,300-square-foot addition. We were about to put in the flooring when he got sick. He had just finished his shop last fall when he got diagnosed."
In the midst of her grief, Duffield and Black became friends.
"She would blow the sawdust out of his hair and make him laugh," Duffield said of Black's care for her dad. "We loved her right away."
Black said Hill reminded her of her own father. Photos of Hill in his workshop show it was his happy place.
"When he passed away, we were in shock," Black said of Hill, who died on July 16.

Kenneweg, a driver for Nickels Bakery for 30 years, said he got started in woodworking when his wife asked him to make her a shelf. As he did more projects, word-of-mouth spread until he was able to start Kenneweg Wood Products in partnership with Jim Ryders.
The company has a following in Brooklyn, N.Y., for their custom-designed Murphy beds.
"Ashley called me; she's crying," Kenneweg recalled. "She told me about a patient who reminded her of me."
Kenneweg, who built his daughter's kitchen, decided to help Ashley Duffield finish the kitchen in her Jackson Township home.
"After Ashley told me about it, I thought, 'What am I getting myself into?'" he said, laughing.
Duffield sent Kenneweg a picture of the bottom cabinets Hill had built from white oak.
"When Ashley called her dad crying, he said would; that he 'just had to help,' especially after seeing the cabinets my dad had already built," she said.
Kenneweg remembers being impressed with Hill's craftsmanship.
"They were beautiful," he said. "I thought, 'This guy knows what he's doing.'"
In Kenneweg's workshop, there is a row of unfinished cabinets that he will install in Duffield's new kitchen.
"You're talented, just like my dad," Duffield said. "He was always very meticulous. It's indescribable. I feel like these guys are just angels, heaven-sent."
Finishing the kitchen together
Asked when he expects the project to be done, Kenneweg said he wasn't sure. He hopes to complete the project soon.
"If somebody helps me with the staining," he said, teasing Duffield.
Though the pain of losing her father is still clearly raw, Duffield has been able her to smile through her tears, thanks to Kenneweg and Black.
"I'm sure they're gonna be friends a long time," Kenneweg said.

The Monday After: Breaking into the 'big leagues'
"It's Munson All Alone!"
The issue of The Canton Repository for Feb. 18, 1969, carried that headline over a photograph gracing the sports front of the newspaper that day. The image was of a sole slugger, bat in hand but casually dressed, standing at home plate of the Florida training site for the Major League's New York Yankees.
"What, no pitcher?" the caption to the United Press International photograph asked, following the question with an identification of the "batter."
"Rookie Thurman Munson, catcher from Canton who starred at Lehman High, was the only Yankee who appeared Monday at the Ft. Lauderdale Yankee Stadium," the caption explained. "The New York Yankees planned to open their advance camp − with or without the players who have threatened to stay away until a pension agreement is reached."
Players eventually would arrive. Training would take place. Games would begin. A season would be played. A championship would be won by a New York team.
True, it would be the New York Mets that won the World Series championship when the "October Classic" arrived in 1969. But the baseball fortunes of their cross-town rivals, the Yankees, were about to change for the 1970s.
And the presence of Thurman Munson on the "Bronx Bombers" for the next decade was to become arguably the singularly most important reason why the Yankees started to achieve renewed success.
Called a future great
"He's the best looking catcher I've seen in a long time," Yankees' manager Ralph Houk said once spring training began prior to the 1969 season. "Munson's got a rifle for an arm, and he's quick as anything. He's meeting the ball. That's the main thing."
No less an authority than former Yankees catcher Elston Howard, by then the team's first base coach, raved about the rookie, according to a Charlie Powell column published in the Repository on March 30, 1969.
"The kid is going to be a hell of a ballplayer," Howard said.
And, one of the players the Yankees were platooning at catcher that season, Jake Gibbs, similarly did not hold back praise for Munson's skill set and work ethic. According to Powell's column, he said much the same thing as Howard. Both directed their comments to baseball observer Jack Bryan, who had Canton ties and penned a letter to Powell from the Yankees training camp revealing club officials' high expectations for the Stark County athlete.
"I had quite a lengthy talk with Thurman," Bryan wrote in his letter to Powell. "I didn't mention I had talked with anyone regarding his status, as I thought it might instill a feeling of complacency. I think I gave him some good advice on keeping his nose clean. You know how some of these rookies think they're on a picnic. However, Thurman is all work and guts."
Bound first for minor leagues
Munson, who had been drafted fourth overall by the Yankees in 1968 and spent the season that year hitting .301 during 71 games for the Yankees-affiliated Binghamton minor league team.
The catcher started the 1969 season with the Yankees' farm club in Syracuse, but played only 28 games for the Chiefs, batting .363 while collecting 37 hits and driving in 17 runs.
"He's catching well, throwing well and is hitting with authority," said Don Labbruzzo, then general manager of the Syracuse club, after Munson had played only a week for his team. "He's going to be a great one."
That kind of success caused him to be called up quickly to the parent club − to "The Show" − in mid-season. Munson made his major league debut on Aug. 8, 1969. According to online statistics, Munson got two hits in three times at bat, scoring two runs and batting another in, during the second game of a doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics.
"Thurm Belts First Homer in Big Time" shouted a headline in the Repository two days later.
"After Roy White broke a 1-1 deadlock with a homer in the fifth for New York, Bobby Murcer, Thurman Munson and Gene Michael hit successive homers in the sixth on five pitches. ... Munson, from Canton, Ohio, hit his first major league homer. Both he and Michael played at Kent State University."
Quickly made an impression
An article later in the month by Jim Ogle in The Sporting News, republished in the Repository on Aug. 30, 1969, reported that Munson's early performance turned heads in the baseball world.
"Thurman Munson, the New York Yankees' highly touted rookie catcher, made his major league debut earlier than expected and no unveiling created as much excitement since the first performance of 'Oh, Calcutta!'"
"Munson, on a weekend pass from Fort Dix, made his bow against Oakland when Frank Fernandez had to leave for weekend military duty and Jake Gibbs was still recovering from an injury. The 22-year-old receiver caught three games ... all victories ... then (briefly) stayed behind to help Syracuse out of an emergency while the Yankees hit the road.
"Unless all indications are wrong, it will be the last time the Yankees will make a trip without Munson for some time to come ... unless his two-week annual military duty comes at the same time."
Munson's "Big League Debut Has 'Em Buzzin'," the headline for the article said when printed in the Repository. "Munson Looks Like A Champ."
Later in the season, an Associated Press article noted that the Mets' success "has taken the city by storm and left the once-mighty Yankees in a strange position as the other team in town."
Still, "Rookies Like Thurm Ease 'Pain' from Mets," said a headline over the article, published in the Repository on Sept. 21, 1969.
"There is little doubt," the article said, "that Munson will be next year's No. 1 catcher."
Builds a stellar career
Munson was the Yankees' starting catcher in 1970 and stayed in that spot for 10 more years.
Before his death in a plane crash in 1979, Munson built a career with the Yankees that stretched across parts of 11 seasons, 1,423 games, and 5,344 at bats. According to statistics published by Baseball Reference, during that time he batted a career .292, with an on-base percentage of .346 and a slugging average of .410. He hit 113 home runs and had 701 RBI.
Munson, who was American League rookie of the year in 1970 and AL Most Valuable Player in 1976, hit safely in 27 of his 30 postseason games, en route to helping the Yankees go to the World Series three consecutive years, winning it in 1977 and 1978. He was captain of the Yankees from 1976 until his passing in 1979.
Those statistics and honors, along with praise for the player's leadership qualities and recognition of his on-field toughness, form the foundation for arguments that Thurman Munson should be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"Thurman Munson was the glue that held the Yankees pitching staff together during those championship years," notes a quote by sports book author Peter Golenbock that is posted at the website munsonhof.com. "He was a fierce competitor who was beloved by everyone on those teams.
"His greatness cannot be measured by batting average and home runs alone. Without him, the Yankees do not win those pennants and championships."

LANCASTER, Pa. — A mobile dental clinic is providing free dental checkups for children this week in Lancaster and Lebanon.
The “Healthy Smiles for Miles” clinic will stop at Union Community Care in Lancaster on Aug. 15 and at the YMCA in Lebanon on Aug. 16.
The clinic is run by United Concordia Dental and Highmark Wholecare.
About 1,000 children are scheduled for appointments, with services such as exams, x-rays, teeth cleaning, and fluoride treatments.
“A lot of these kids have gaps in care," Dr. Robert Thielen, dental director at Highmark Wholecare told FOX43. "They maybe have never been to the dentist or because of COVID or because of other things happening in our country, haven’t been able to get in to have a regular dental checkup."
The clinic serves Medicaid patients age 20 and younger who have Highmark Wholecare insurance.
Through the summer, the clinic is making 12 stops in eight Pennsylvania cities. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/mobile-childrens-dental-clinic-lancaster-lebanon/521-1501ef0f-c06c-469f-b17b-dd57caf0f8d6 | 2022-08-15T13:47:14 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/mobile-childrens-dental-clinic-lancaster-lebanon/521-1501ef0f-c06c-469f-b17b-dd57caf0f8d6 |
Even with a couple of prominent Republicans as his state campaign chairs, Tom Arkoosh is going to have an uphill battle to win his statewide race for Idaho attorney general as a Democrat running against Republican Raúl Labrador.
A Democrat hasn’t won a statewide race in Idaho for 20 years, when Democrat Marilyn Howard defeated Republican Tom Luna in 2002 for superintendent of public instruction.
“Make no mistake about it,” former Republican Secretary of State Ben Ysursa said Tuesday as he was introduced as one of Arkoosh’s state campaign chairs. “This will be a very difficult race against a well-known and well-financed opponent.”
In addition to Ysursa, Arkoosh on Tuesday announced four other state campaign chairs: Republican Lydia Justice Edwards, Democrats Cherie Buckner-Webb and Tony Park and independent Judi Danielson, formerly a Republican.
People are also reading…
It’s an impressive lineup, for sure.
Ysursa was a longtime secretary of state, Danielson a Boise County commissioner, Republican legislator for 12 years and GOP caucus chair in the Senate. Ysursa on Tuesday stepped down from the Idaho Statesman editorial board to avoid any conflict of interest, especially as we head into endorsement season.
Park is a former attorney general, and Buckner-Webb was a longtime state legislator, including stints as Democratic caucus chair and assistant minority leader. Justice Edwards is a former Republican state legislator and state treasurer.
That’s in addition to Arkoosh’s campaign treasurer Jim Jones, himself a Republican former attorney general and state Supreme Court chief justice who has of late railed against the direction his party has taken.
It was a theme oft-repeated at Tuesday’s announcement.
“I often tell people my party left me, not I who left the party,” Danielson said. “Moderates are not acceptable in my former party.”
And they all pointed to Labrador as evidence of the party’s hard-right turn.
Labrador defeated longtime incumbent Republican Lawrence Wasden, who touts his record of “calling balls and strikes,” when those on the far right want the attorney general to “throw a curveball” and be “a conservative voice.”
“The attorney general is a neutral arbiter who sits as an umpire, calling balls and strikes fairly and interpreting the law, telling agencies or the legislature what they need to know, not what they necessarily want to hear,” Ysursa said. “I sincerely believe that Tom should and would heed the advice of my good friend Lawrence Wasden.”
Many on the far right were upset, for example, that Wasden didn’t foolishly join a frivolous lawsuit filed by the Texas attorney general suing other states for their elections in 2020. The suit was quickly thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court. Even after, some on the far right still think Wasden should have wasted taxpayer money on joining the lawsuit.
That’s what most observers are expecting with Labrador in the AG’s office: more lawsuits against the federal government and more encouraging the Legislature to pass bad laws that will lose in court, such as the recent loss over a bill over transgender birth certificates, for which the state was ordered to pay $320,000 in legal bills for the plaintiffs. “Make no mistake, bringing the ridiculous lawsuits that Labrador brags about that he would bring will cost all of us dearly,” Buckner-Webb said. “It will cost every single taxpayer just to bring it and if elected, he’ll lose them and we will still pay.”
Still, it’s going to be a hard sell in Idaho for anyone with a “D” after their name, no matter how many old-guard Republican leaders line up behind him.
Strong, moderate Democratic candidates facing weaker Republican opponents haven’t been able to crack that nut over the past 20 years. I’m thinking about Democrats Cindy Wilson and Jana Jones losing to Sherri Ybarra for superintendent of public instruction, and Kristin Collum losing to Janice McGeachin in 2018 for lieutenant governor.
Republicans hold a more than 4-1 advantage over registered Democrats (575,000 Republicans compared with 129,000 Democrats). There are still 274,000 unaffiliated voters, but that’s still not enough to counterbalance Republican voters. In the 2020 election, 554,119 Idahoans voted for Donald Trump, or 64% of the total, while 287,021, or 33%, voted for Joe Biden.
Still, A.J. Balukoff, a moderate Democrat who received 39% of the vote in 2014 gubernatorial campaign against incumbent Republican Butch Otter, expressed optimism.
“Tom is a viable candidate because he is moderate, middle of the road and will appeal to both moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans,” Balukoff told me at Arkoosh’s announcement Tuesday. “I think most people in the state are really tired of the extreme partisanship that we’ve been seeing in our state. A lot of us believe that some of these statewide offices, like attorney general, should be a nonpartisan office. I think if that message gets across, and Tom’s opponent is obviously part of the extreme element in our state. People in this state are ready to be moderate and reasonable.”
Arkoosh won’t be facing a popular incumbent, like Balukoff did.
But Labrador has name recognition, and he’ll likely be well-funded. The Club for Growth PAC spent $281,996 on broadcast advertisements attacking Wasden, according to the Idaho Capital Sun.
Labrador received 140,585 votes in the primary, or 52% of the vote, to Wasden’s 104,000 votes, or 38%, even with third candidate Art Macomber 11% taking away from Labrador’s anti-Wasden vote total. Labrador received the second-highest vote total of all Republicans with opponents in the Republican primary, behind only Gov. Brad Little’s landslide in his race.
As Arkoosh pointed out to me, “many of the other extremists lost” in the Republican closed primary, which is a limited snapshot of the overall voters who will cast ballots in November.
“The Republican Party is fractured,” Arkoosh told me afterwards. “And my opponent represents the extreme in that party. And I’m counting on getting Republicans who want an attorney general invested not in extremism but in the rule of law to vote for me.”
Will those anti-extremist Republican voters cast their votes for Arkoosh in enough numbers to join unaffiliated and Democratic voters to push Arkoosh over the finish line?
It’s a tall order.
But Ysursa hopes more Republicans will take his view of this race.
“Being a lifelong Republican, it’s not easy to endorse a Democrat attorney general candidate,” Ysursa said. “But the rule of law is under attack, constant attack, both at the national level and the state level. ... Idahoans deserve and expect in their attorney general a good lawyer, not a good politician.” | https://magicvalley.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/idaho-view-uphill-battle-for-democratic-candidate-in-idaho-even-with-prominent-republican-support/article_7b615aaa-1a83-11ed-9301-1f0acb11a058.html | 2022-08-15T13:56:15 | 0 | https://magicvalley.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/idaho-view-uphill-battle-for-democratic-candidate-in-idaho-even-with-prominent-republican-support/article_7b615aaa-1a83-11ed-9301-1f0acb11a058.html |
VALPARAISO — You can't come and dine in at some of Valparaiso's newest restaurants.
There are no seats, no waitstaff and no drive-thru.
Carryout is an option, but most of the business is done by delivery, which has taken off in popularity due to many apps and the coronavirus pandemic.
Owner Eric Berindei, who previously owned the Delivery.com food delivery service in Valparaiso, launched the Lincoln Kitchen business at 704 Silhavy Road. It's boosted the number of delivery options in Valparaiso, billing itself as a "digital food court." He's potentially looking at opening more Northwest Indiana locations, possibly in Crown Point and St. John.
"Ghost kitchens have gotten big," he said, "Some restaurants are solely dependent DoorDash and Uber Eats. Others are testing it out to see if people like it. I just went to a conference in Dallas in June and they were talking about how ghost kitchens were a newer segment of the restaurant business and how there are a lot of different twists, a lot of different options as people seek the perfect model."

The 7,000-square-foot Lincoln Kitchen is home to Toothache Bakery, Big D’s Eats, Big D’s Loaded Mac, Moe's Meditterean, Wao Bao, Phat Wraps, Dickey's BBQ, Las Mamacitas, Leaf and Green Balance.
One can get everything from brisket tacos to bao buns.
"We have some good options and good variety," Berindei said. "We're adding some more choices. Families, doctor's offices, schools and offices can come in and pick up meals."
Big D's Eats, for instance, offers Nashville hot chicken, Philly cheesesteaks and breakfast fare. Big D's Loaded Mac specializes in mac and cheese, topped with meats like brisket, Buffalo chicken and Nashville hot chicken.
"We try to bring things that aren't available or hard to get in the Region," owner Dale Porch said. "You have to go to Chicago for Nashville hot chicken. You have to go to Hammond for a good Philly."
Big D's has a food truck that's appeared at dozens of festivals this year. But Lincoln Kitchen has allowed it to also handle catering options of any size, no minimum or maximum with at least 24 hours advance notice.
Lincoln Kitchen took over the former Gratz Piano space that was most recently a Habitat for Humanity Resale Shop. It's a place where restaurants rent commercial kitchens either to use for delivery-based businesses or where startup restaurants and food trucks can test the market and get off the ground.
"It's a low-cost alternative to grow a restaurant or get to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant," he said. "This is a growing trend. You see them in New York, Chicago and L.A. but it's just starting to open in smaller towns. It's a new concept having a bunch of different restaurants to order from. Some people don't understand it."
Lincoln Kitchen employs about half a dozen delivery drivers who deliver orders phoned in or made through its website. Most of the restaurants that rent space there also deliver through DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats.
"COVID really ignited the use of the delivery apps," he said. "People who never used DoorDash started using it. They probably still use it a few times a month. It's not on the same growth trajectory as it was but it's still growing. It's changing how people dine in a big way."
Not all the kitchens are open every day. But people can log on online to see what restaurants are open and what food they can order.
"The Lincoln Kitchen is a new concept to NWI and Las Mamacitas Food Truck is excited about being a part of it," Las Mamacitas food truck owner Monica Jimenez said. "It is a commissary and a space where local food vendors can operate a kitchen and sell to customers. People can preorder and pick up or order from third-party services such as Grubhub and Uber Eats, etc. The fun part is people don’t have to order from just one kitchen. There are many options including sweets and more."
It's a good opportunity for local restaurants to reach more customers, Jimenez said.
"I was a part of the kitchen from the beginning of the buildout and I’m excited to see the growth," she said. "Las Mamacitas is operational in the kitchen on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. until sold out and we will be adding hours in the near future."
It's a blend of local restaurants and chains like Dickey's BBQ and Wao Bao.
"More and more restaurants in the brick-and-mortar space are venturing into the ghost or dark kitchen world," Berindei said. "None of these are here but Chick-fil-A, Cracker Barrel, Maggiano's and Chili's are some of the national chains opening a lot of ghost kitchen locations. It's an interesting mix."
One remaining 250-square-foot kitchen space remains available for lease.
Lincoln Kitchen is open from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for breakfast and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for lunch and dinner daily.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP — One person was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation and several pets died when a fire broke out Friday evening in a home in the 800 N. block of County Road 500 East, according to the Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Department.
Firefighters arrived at the residence around around 7 p.m. to find smoke and flames visible in the basement of the two-level home, firefighters said.
"Chief (Brian) Duncan stated there was heavy fire in the basement on arrival and called for tankers to respond from surrounding departments as there are no hydrants in the area," the department said.
Fire crews reportedly entered the home wearing breathing apparatus to conduct a search and the fire was quickly contained to the basement.
"A special pet rescue mask was used by firefighters performing resuscitation efforts on the pets found during the search suffering from smoke inhalation, but the canines and felines succumbed to their injuries," the fire department reported.
"Liberty Township Fire Department is working closely with the Porter County Fire Investigation Strike Team to determine the cause," the department said.

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. – How do two software engineers celebrate a shared love of jiu-jitsu, their Asian heritage and good food while surviving pandemic isolation?
If those engineers are Jae Lee and Jason Rom, they make hot sauce and chili oil.
Lee and Rom are the creative forces behind Tapped, an enterprise they operate from their home kitchens in Melbourne and Satellite Beach that’s heating up dishes across the country.
[ADD YOUR BUSINESS TO THE FLORIDA FOODIE DIRECTORY]
The friends work in web and app design at Accent Technologies in Eau Gallie. They work out at Off the Grid gym in Cocoa Beach. One night after jiu-jitsu, Lee gave Rom a bottle of curry hot sauce he’d made. Rom thought it was great. Good enough to sell.
Rom came up with the chili oil recipe when he needed the Asian condiment to make the Chinese dish mapo tofu for a dinner party. He started to buy some at a local market, but it was the height of the pandemic. He was spending more time in the kitchen. He decided to experiment with his own version.
It came out so flavorful, the friends knew they were onto something. Tapped started to take shape.
Check out the Florida Foodie podcast. You can find every episode in the media player below:
The name is a nod to jiu-jitsu. The martial art is based on submission holds, and participants tap out when they’ve had enough and want to be released.
The brand combines Rom and Lee’s Asian cultures — Rom grew up in the Philippines, Lee’s family moved to South Florida from Korea when he was a boy.
Once they’d settled on a name and a concept, the two put their engineering minds to work, testing recipes and developing a website.
“We approached it in more of a technical way,” Lee said.
“I bought a book to find out what spices pair well with others,” Rom said.
Not like hot sauce: Chili oil is more specialized — and time-consuming
They tried different formulas and did blind tastings, deciding too much spice here, turn down the sugar there.
They studied umami, a savory flavor associated with meat broths and pickled foods.
Rom wanted to experiment with black garlic, garlic that darkens after being stored at low heat for several weeks, developing a rich, creamy taste, so he learned to make it.
[TRENDING: Become a News 6 Insider]
Lee discovered using sous vide to cook hot sauces didn’t fill his home with hot pepper fumes.
They studied texture, smearing various formulations on a tray, looking for a product that wasn’t too watery or too pulpy, and determining what size mesh strainer resulted in the perfect consistency.
They developed recipes using all-natural ingredients such as sunflower oil, Sichuan chili flakes, shallots, garlic, brown sugar, monk fruit sugar, Thai bird’s eye chili peppers and mushroom powder. Emphasis was placed on flavor, not just heat.
They created slick, fast-paced how-to videos for Instagram showing people how to use their products.
Their portfolio now includes two sauces (Arm Bar and Bow & Arrow) and two oils (Kimura and D’arce), all named for jiu-jitsu submission holds.
They started bottling and selling sauces at pop-up events in the fall of 2021, and launched an online storefront in February 2022. Tapped products also are available in Rain Tree Mercantile, 826 E. New Haven Ave., Melbourne; Sweet Heartist Gourmet Cookie Co., 1609 N. Wickham Road, Unit C, Melbourne; and Village General Store, 204 Brevard Ave., Cocoa Village.
They laugh when recalling the excitement of getting their first orders from customers who weren’t family or friends.
Now they’re in a holding pattern. They’ve maxed out their capacity as a cottage industry.
They don’t have the inventory to stock more retail outlets. Working primarily from Lee’s kitchen in Satellite Beach, it’s all they can do to keep up with online orders.
Lee and Rom considered renting space in a commissary kitchen so they can increase their volume, but they already have full-time jobs.
They’d love to spend more time on research and development and the business side of things.
They’re looking at co-packers, companies that will take their recipes and mass-batch Tapped products, though they’re concerned about quality control.
Lots of places are equipped to make hot sauces, Lee said. Chili oil is more specialized, and more time-consuming.
The plan for the next couple of years is to concentrate on farmers markets, pop-up events and online sales. Rom and Lee want to save money and find a co-packer, then expand into other products such as beef jerky, spices, oils and aged soy sauces, Rom said.
“We want to be an Asian food brand that focuses on good ingredients, umami and the jiu-jitsu community,” Lee said. “We want to go fulltime.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The U.S. Coast Guard says it suspended the search for a missing 49-year-old Naples doctor on Sunday.
Chaundre Cross disappeared while at sea on Wednesday and since then, crews covered an area of about 13,100 square miles over 100 hours, the Coast Guard said in a news release.
The initial investigation was begun by watchstanders from Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg command center on Wednesday and they found Cross' "Vitamin Sea" boat 16 miles south of Sanibel Island on Thursday, the news release said.
“It is always a difficult decision to suspend a search and rescue case,” Capt. Michael Kahle said, commander of Sector St. Petersburg. “Our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to the family and friends of Dr. Cross during this difficult time.”
Cross is a cancer doctor with offices in Bonita Springs and Naples, according to WINK-TV. Employees at Genesis care told the station in a statement that "we, of course, are concerned for the well-being of Dr. Cross."
Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, Collier County Sheriff, Lee County Sheriff and Naples Police reportedly also contributed to the search efforts. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/coast-guard-search-suspended-chaundre-cross-doctor-naples/67-19035d1f-f85e-4e40-aab6-4b91c7dcba0d | 2022-08-15T14:08:44 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/coast-guard-search-suspended-chaundre-cross-doctor-naples/67-19035d1f-f85e-4e40-aab6-4b91c7dcba0d |
The following is the opinion and analysis of the writer:
I was transferred to Louisiana in 1967. Shortly after getting settled in, we went to register to vote. In line in front of me was a young African American woman who was handed several sheets of paper and told to fill them out completely. When I stepped up to the window, I was given a single sheet, and so I asked about the additional pages. The clerk gave me a strange look and told me I didn’t need the questionnaire; I was fine as it was.
It was then that I became fully aware of the sobering fact that African American citizens in Louisiana were required to take a special, contrived exam before they could be eligible to vote. At that point I had to remind myself that I was now living in the Deep South where prejudices ran very high and where the “colored” folks were not considered as equals. Of course, that type of discrimination was strictly against the Civil Rights Act passed by Congress just three years prior.
People are also reading…
Reflecting on that experience, I began to build up a very strong admiration for the woman. She had her rights under the law to demand to be registered without the forced humiliation of taking an exam. Instead, she obviously realized that to challenge the “system” she could possibly lose her chances of ever voting again. Her tolerance and “obedience” demonstrated a very strong and commendable determination to get registered so she could vote, no matter what it was going to take. She held high the sacred honor each of us has in being able to vote, a privilege that so many other citizens around the world in countries under tight oppression desperately desire to have.
Today, I find myself wondering just how many of us would be willing to undergo and tolerate the inequities and dishonor that that woman had to suffer in order to have the right to vote. How dedicated are we? How strong are our desires to cast a ballot?
I’m afraid the time has come to where those questions will need to be answered. The reason being that state legislatures across the nation are currently passing laws and regulations that will take us back to the time when I stood in line and witnessed a woman of color being challenged and discriminated against simply because she was of a different ethnicity. The new laws being passed are designed exactly like those unjust restrictions of the past. They are purposefully created to cause confusion and difficulties in getting to vote and in some cases actually eliminating any chance of voting for many disadvantaged citizens.
Arizona’s laws, such as HB 2492 which now requires more identification to register to vote, are among the more troubling of those legislations. Another bill, HB 2596, had it become law, would have made voting worthless by allowing state legislators to overturn the results of an election.
Subsequently, until these types of laws are proven to be unconstitutional in a court of law, or overturned by a newly elected legislature with a more pragmatic mindset, we are going to be subjected to their unrealistic mandates when it comes time to cast ballots, especially in the upcoming general election. Therefore, despite all obstacles, getting registered and voting now become the most critical exercises a person can perform. The very essence of democracy is at stake.
Fifty-five years ago a determined woman tolerated the hate and prejudices imposed upon her so that she could have the right to vote. Are we any less determined than she? The next election will tell.

DALLAS (KDAF) — If you hear someone, specifically a resident of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex complaining about their pockets being heavier than normal, this might be why.
The Texas Lottery reports a resident of Arlington has recently claimed a $1.75 million jackpot-winning prize from the August 8 drawing. That ticket was bought at a QuikTrip on South Industrial Boulevard in Euless.
The big winner has decided to remain anonymous. Their ticket matched all four of the winning numbers along with the Bonus Ball to net the seven-figure win.
“Texas Two Step jackpots start at $200,000, and the jackpot amount increases for the next drawing until
there is a winner. Players win the jackpot by matching all four of the white ball numbers (1-35) and one
Bonus Ball number (1-35) to the numbers drawn,” the lottery said. | https://cw33.com/news/local/arlington-resident-pockets-1-75-million-texas-lottery-win/ | 2022-08-15T14:10:50 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/local/arlington-resident-pockets-1-75-million-texas-lottery-win/ |
The vaccine deployment in December 2020 signaled a turning point in the COVID-19 pandemic. By the end of May 2021, 40% of the U.S. population was fully vaccinated. But as vaccination rates lagged over the summer, new surges of COVID-19 came, including Delta in the summer of 2021, and now the Omicron variant, which comprises the majority of cases in the U.S.
The United States as of Aug. 12 reached over 1 million COVID-19-related deaths and 92.7 million COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins University. Currently, 67.3% of the population is fully vaccinated, and 48.3% of vaccinated people have received booster doses.
Stacker compiled a list of the counties with highest COVID-19 vaccination rates in Texas using data from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Covid Act Now. Counties are ranked by the highest vaccination rate as of Aug. 11, 2022. Due to inconsistencies in reporting, some counties do not have vaccination data available. Keep reading to see whether your county ranks among the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates in your state.

DALLAS (KDAF) — There is a lot of state pride to be found in Texas. Texans are proud to call this place their home and for good reason. There is tons of great nature, and food, and the people are some of the friendliest in the world.
Much like Texas, there are people in every state that say they live in the best state in the nation. So, in the spirit of investigation, WalletHub sought to find out which states are actually the best and worst states to live in.
Their study compared all 50 states across more than 50 metrics measuring how good (or bad) a state’s liveability is.
So, are Texans right to call their state the best? According to their report, that is a resounding no. Texas ranked 34th in the nation (with 1 being the best and 50 being the worst).
Why does Texas rank so low? Some of the key metrics that Texas ranks exceptionally low in include the percentage of the insured population (50th place), average weekly work hours (47th place), and homeownership rate (45th place).
Though there is one thing Texas is best at, according to the survey. The Lone Star State ranked 1st in the nation for the number of restaurants per capita. So at least you won’t go hungry while you’re here.
Other key rankings include:
- 24th – Housing Costs
- 39th – % of Population in Poverty
- 20th – Income Growth
- 40th – % of Adults in Fair or Poor Health
- 27th – Percentage of Residents 12+ Who Are Fully Vaccinated
We know you’re curious to see, so here are WalletHub’s top 10 best states to live in:
- Massachusetts
- New Jersey
- New York
- Idaho
- Virginia
- New Hampshire
- Florida
- Wyoming
- Minnesota
- Wisconsin

New flood risk maps being developed for Burleigh County and Bismarck could impact hundreds of properties, some of which might be required to carry flood insurance.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the North Dakota Department of Water Resources, and city and county officials will host a public open house from 4-7 p.m. Tuesday at the Bismarck Event Center. Attendees will be able to view preliminary maps, ask questions and add input on the floodplain management process that began in 2017.
The general geographical areas that are impacted include portions from the northern to southern boundaries of the county along the Missouri River, Apple Creek, Hay Creek and Burnt Creek.
Bismarck is required under state law as part of its zoning authority to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program, according to Community Development Director Ben Ehreth. FEMA develops flood risk maps, identifying a range of flooding risks, to protect residents from unforeseen natural disasters, he said.
People are also reading…
Flood insurance rate maps "help establish where individuals who would have things like ... a federally backed mortgage for their home would need to be required to carry flood insurance," Ehreth said. "They define areas where development should be limited or recommended for not occurring at all because those areas are not only prone to a high level of risk, but could also have greater impact on increasing the flood risk for others.”
Ehreth said preliminary flood risk maps put some areas in a higher level of flood risk "but also, some areas are going to be relieved of that risk."
"There’s a bit of give and take in terms of the risk for various properties in the community and the county,” he said.
The new maps would add 1,500 county and 650 city parcels to the list of those with increased flood risk.
Some of the main areas with an increased flood risk lie south of Expressway and east of University Drive, along with some single- and multi-family dwellings south of Wachter Avenue and east of Cottonwood Lake and west of 12th Street, according to Ehreth.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean the entirety of their parcel will be consumed by a floodway or a floodplain ... but a portion of a parcel will be impacted with a higher level of flood risk,” he added.
Floodway refers to the channel of a stream, including any adjacent floodplain areas, that must be kept free of encroachment in order to carry a 100-year flood -- a term that essentially means a flood that has a 1-in-100 chance of occurring in any given year, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Anything developed in the floodway would need to be modeled and verified before being constructed so it doesn't increase the base flood elevation, Ehreth said. Base flood elevation is the elevation of the 100-year flood and primarily intended for flood insurance rating purposes.
“For example, a significant structure that’s being looked at to develop in the floodway right now is the new Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Bridge. And so, those piers will be constructed within the floodway. So they had to conduct a modeling exercise to verify that the placement of those piers would not elevate that base flood elevation,” Ehreth said.
Both the city and county sent out about 1,000 notices to property owners, alerting them if their flood risk would increase, Ehreth said. Some may now be required to carry flood insurance. Ehreth couldn't provide an exact figure because he said officials don't know which properties have a federally backed mortgage.
If the property in the floodplain is not yet developed, the owner might have to elevate any structure that's built to meet the local floodplain ordinance once the new map is adopted.
FEMA will open up a 90-day appeal period following the open house, City Building Official Brady Blaskowski said. The city eventually will receive a final letter of determination, stating the effective date of the final map. It will then be the city’s obligation to adopt the final map. | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/new-flood-maps-to-impact-bismarck-area-properties-public-meeting-set-tuesday/article_b3db7092-19b0-11ed-9644-df90008d7cd6.html | 2022-08-15T14:13:38 | 0 | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/new-flood-maps-to-impact-bismarck-area-properties-public-meeting-set-tuesday/article_b3db7092-19b0-11ed-9644-df90008d7cd6.html |

University of Delaware is brewing up a new class for Blue Hens.
Foundations of Brewing Science and Brewery Operations will be offered at the university within the school's professional and continuing studies program.
The program will launch for the first time this fall. Class will run on Wednesday nights from Sept. 14 to Nov. 16.
Students will learn about various beer styles and types, the broad scope of brewing operations, a cellar man's role, brewery chemical safety, quality aspects, as well as packaging and fermentation principles, according to the university.
Instructing the course will be Brad Adelson, who has over 15 years of experience in the industry.
He has worked in important roles at a wide variety breweries, including Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, Pennsylvania.
“We are going to cover the brewing process from start to finish,” Adelson told UDaily. “The biggest goal is for the participants to learn what they need to be able to show any future boss that they have a pretty good base knowledge of beer. I thought about if I was going to hire somebody who did not need a lot of training, what would I want them to know.”

The following content is created in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition. It does not reflect the work or opinions of NBCUniversal Local stations’ editorial staffs. Click here to learn more about Hill’s Pet Nutrition and its annual Clear The Shelters campaign, a mission to help shelter pets find the loving homes they deserve.
The duality of a veterinarian’s job can be challenging—a vet must be both caring and analytical, combining scientific training and technical skills with empathy, compassion, and sensitivity towards both pets and their humans. Add the often-chaotic environment of an animal shelter, and you have a career that’s not for the faint of heart, albeit an extremely rewarding one.
“We go through so much with these animals and really help change their lives. We’re there for them when they’re scared, hurt, or injured, and we’re able to gain their trust and have them allow you to provide them with medical care and love,” says Dr. Edlin Cornejo, Shelter Veterinary Services Team Lead at the Dumb Friends League of Denver, Colorado. “The most rewarding part is seeing them go off to their forever homes and being adopted by families that truly appreciate the work you’ve put in to get their new pets where they are.”
Animals sometimes arrive at the Dumb Friends League in dire straits, either brought in from the streets by good Samaritans or rescued from cruelty. With journeys and origin stories as diverse as the kindhearted vets, technicians, and volunteers that take care of them at the shelter, these animals are ready to start a new chapter. That’s why Hill's Pet Nutrition—partnering with NBCUniversal Local—is once again working with the Dumb Friends League and hundreds of other shelters throughout August, for one of the largest pet adoption campaigns in the country, Clear The Shelters.
Seeing the inspiring and tenacious veterinary team at Dumb Friends League in action illuminated the ins and outs of shelter medicine, including the variety of roles they must embrace for a variety of animals, personalities, and even surprises. With the ultimate goal of finding homes for all adoptable animals, these vets are part doctor, part nutritionist, part animal whisperer, and all heart.
Shelter Medicine vs Private Practice
All fields of veterinary medicine provide a valuable service; however, shelter vets face some unique challenges. “The main difference between being at a shelter or working at a private practice is that shelter pets don’t have an owner at that moment who will advocate for them and provide the care they need,” explains Dr. Erin Hickey, Lead Veterinarian at Dumb Friends League. “In a private practice, those pets already have owners, they have somebody looking after and providing for them. They also have consistent veterinary care. What we’re hoping to do is to be that bridge until the adoptive parent can take charge.”
While everyone at the Dumb Friends League can’t help but fall in love with the varied personalities they encounter, their work primarily focuses on two fronts: Population-level care and getting the animals adoption-ready. That means addressing the needs of the individual animal, the shelter population, and the sustainability of the organization, all while navigating the challenges of sometimes limited resources.
Shelters are also the embodiments of second chances for animals—and for some humans as well. After a first career in finance, Hickey decided it wasn’t what she was looking for. “Life is too short not to do something you’re not passionate about,” she explains. After working in different staff and volunteer positions at the shelter, she decided to go back to school, this time to become a vet. “Shelter work can be very challenging; you tend to work long hours and see rough cases. But at the same time, it’s extremely rewarding.”
For shelter vets to provide the care and interventions that animals need, shelters across the country rely on donations, community organizing, and the support of partners like Hill’s. The Dumb Friends League, and over 800 other North American animal shelters, receive food for all the dogs and cats in their care, through Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love Program. It truly takes a village, and it’s key for shelters to generate a culture of enthusiasm for animal welfare and develop a network of support so that vets in the shelter system can help animals get ready to find their new homes.
The Road to Adoption
For shelter vets, the most heartening and rewarding part of the job is the moment an animal is matched with new parents. “Seeing families be made, it’s thrilling and so rewarding. To feel like you were a big part of that, it's huge,” says Hickey. But getting an animal from intake to home-sweet-home requires logistics, procedures, lots of pet food and indeed lots of love.
First, the team evaluates the animal, provides any immediate care that may be needed, and starts them on the appropriate Hill’s pet food. But before making any big decisions, they allow time for owners to find lost pets.
“When they come in as a stray, we hold them for a 5-day loss period to make sure that if their owner is out there, they have adequate time to look around. We also post the animal’s photo and information to our website,” explains Hickey. After the loss period is up and the animals are evaluated, the vet team can proceed to more advanced treatments such as spaying and neutering, bloodwork, and dental work. Additionally, they will develop a nutrition plan using Hill’s pet food that best addresses the animals’ needs. Once ready, they’re put up for adoption, along with the appropriate information and suggestions so they can be matched with the best possible home—for both animals and owners. “If an animal might not be good with children, then we make that recommendation,” says Hickey.
Another important role for shelter veterinarians is helping future pet parents understand that the choice goes beyond looks. “Lifestyles should be kept in mind when thinking about adopting an animal,” explains Cornejo. “If you’re an avid hiker, or if you’re looking for your very own couch potato, it’s important to recognize that all these animals have different requirements depending on breed, size, and age.”
The Power of Nutrition
A shelter vet must also provide proper nutrition for these furry friends, but it’s far more involved than just giving out kibble. Different animals have different nutritional needs, and over 800 shelters across the country rely on Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s Food, Shelter & Love Program to provide their dogs and cats with science-led nutrition to help them be as healthy as they can be.
“Good nutrition is a critical part of every healthy animal. It helps maintain their digestive system, supports their immune system, and helps them reach their ideal weight,” explains Cornejo. “It also provides the right nutrients the animals need for their organs to function properly and helps them have a healthy and shiny coat and skin.”
Pet nutrition shouldn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Specific formulations can help animals flourish at different life stages. “When choosing the right food, we consider a series of factors. They may have unique nutritional considerations or age-related concerns. Hill’s helps us provide them with the nutrients they need for their specific age and size.”
This support should go beyond the shelter. “When pets go to their new homes, as exciting as it is, it’s also a stressful experience due to all the changes. It’s important that new pet parents keep feeding the animals the same food,” says Hickey. “It’s an easy way to offer them some consistency and lower their stress levels.” Thanks to Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s ongoing support through the Food, Shelter & Love program, hundreds of shelters are able to provide new pet parents with samples of the same premium food they’ve been eating while at the shelter.
Behavior and Wellness
Because shelter animals arrive with different life experiences and exposure histories, proper behavioral care is another crucial part in getting pets adoption-ready. In fact, behavioral problems are a leading cause of pet surrenders by owners to animal shelters in the United States.
In addition to the trauma associated with experiencing homelessness or cruelty, animals can be further stressed by a high-density shelter setting and often require extra TLC as they navigate socialization with other animals as well as humans. The skills and techniques of shelter vets help to mitigate aggression, anxiety, urine marking, and other behavioral issues, so animals can put their best paw forward throughout the adoption process.
“We see a lot of pets that come into the shelter that maybe didn’t have the appropriate socialization before they got here. We’re able to work with them on how to walk on a leash, meet new people, and how to be around other animals. A lot of the socialization, especially for dogs, comes down to learning all these things and associating them with rewards that range from treats to a belly rub,” notes Hickey. In other words, shelter vets help the furry friends of the Dumb Friends League prepare for a life outside of the shelter and in the homes of loving owners. They even set up for success by providing guidance and education that owners can apply once their 4-legged friend arrives at their new home.
A Second Chance for Karmen
“For me, this is my dream job,” says Hickey.
Indeed, working with doe-eyed kittens or cuddly dogs is an ostensibly desirable career. It’s even a common misconception that veterinary medicine provides an easier path than traditional human medicine when, in fact, many of the prerequisites are the same, and veterinarians must additionally learn about a vast multitude of species. Oh, and the patients don’t usually talk.
And while Hickey and Cornejo both have achieved their dream job, they’re as familiar with the unglamorous road to veterinary medicine as they are with the reward: The incomparable joy of seeing an animal get a second chance at life. Today, Cornejo, Hickey, and many other shelter vets throughout the country can have a much larger impact thanks to programs such as Clear the Shelters and Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s Food, Shelter & Love Program.
When hope for certain animals feels elusive, Erin Hickey remembers Karmen’s story, a severely injured pup who was in the care of the Dumb Friends League for a particularly long time. “We didn’t know if she had chemical burns or electrical ones. She was antisocial, was afraid to walk on a leash and she was very timid around most people.” Karmen required a lengthy stay at the shelter, allowing time for the burn wounds on her eyes and face to improve.
While Karmen began to flourish and became a staff favorite, she did struggle to find the right home for her. “She was adopted out a couple times and returned because it wasn’t the right fit. It was hard seeing her in a shelter and feeling like she was missing out on a normal dog life in a home,” explains Hickey.
Karmen’s patience paid off when the perfect pet parent finally arrived. “It was the perfect home, it was the perfect set up,” says Hickey. So perfect, in fact, that Karmen’s new owner affectionately referred to Karmen as her soul dog. “It made sense to me. Now I realize the reason why she was here as long as she was. It’s because she was waiting for that perfect person.”

The following content is created in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition. It does not reflect the work or opinions of NBCUniversal Local stations’ editorial staffs. Click here to learn more about Hill’s Pet Nutrition and its annual Clear The Shelters campaign, a mission to help shelter pets find the loving homes they deserve.
The duality of a veterinarian’s job can be challenging—a vet must be both caring and analytical, combining scientific training and technical skills with empathy, compassion, and sensitivity towards both pets and their humans. Add the often-chaotic environment of an animal shelter, and you have a career that’s not for the faint of heart, albeit an extremely rewarding one.
“We go through so much with these animals and really help change their lives. We’re there for them when they’re scared, hurt, or injured, and we’re able to gain their trust and have them allow you to provide them with medical care and love,” says Dr. Edlin Cornejo, Shelter Veterinary Services Team Lead at the Dumb Friends League of Denver, Colorado. “The most rewarding part is seeing them go off to their forever homes and being adopted by families that truly appreciate the work you’ve put in to get their new pets where they are.”
Animals sometimes arrive at the Dumb Friends League in dire straits, either brought in from the streets by good Samaritans or rescued from cruelty. With journeys and origin stories as diverse as the kindhearted vets, technicians, and volunteers that take care of them at the shelter, these animals are ready to start a new chapter. That’s why Hill's Pet Nutrition—partnering with NBCUniversal Local—is once again working with the Dumb Friends League and hundreds of other shelters throughout August, for one of the largest pet adoption campaigns in the country, Clear The Shelters.
Seeing the inspiring and tenacious veterinary team at Dumb Friends League in action illuminated the ins and outs of shelter medicine, including the variety of roles they must embrace for a variety of animals, personalities, and even surprises. With the ultimate goal of finding homes for all adoptable animals, these vets are part doctor, part nutritionist, part animal whisperer, and all heart.
Shelter Medicine vs Private Practice
All fields of veterinary medicine provide a valuable service; however, shelter vets face some unique challenges. “The main difference between being at a shelter or working at a private practice is that shelter pets don’t have an owner at that moment who will advocate for them and provide the care they need,” explains Dr. Erin Hickey, Lead Veterinarian at Dumb Friends League. “In a private practice, those pets already have owners, they have somebody looking after and providing for them. They also have consistent veterinary care. What we’re hoping to do is to be that bridge until the adoptive parent can take charge.”
While everyone at the Dumb Friends League can’t help but fall in love with the varied personalities they encounter, their work primarily focuses on two fronts: Population-level care and getting the animals adoption-ready. That means addressing the needs of the individual animal, the shelter population, and the sustainability of the organization, all while navigating the challenges of sometimes limited resources.
Shelters are also the embodiments of second chances for animals—and for some humans as well. After a first career in finance, Hickey decided it wasn’t what she was looking for. “Life is too short not to do something you’re not passionate about,” she explains. After working in different staff and volunteer positions at the shelter, she decided to go back to school, this time to become a vet. “Shelter work can be very challenging; you tend to work long hours and see rough cases. But at the same time, it’s extremely rewarding.”
For shelter vets to provide the care and interventions that animals need, shelters across the country rely on donations, community organizing, and the support of partners like Hill’s. The Dumb Friends League, and over 800 other North American animal shelters, receive food for all the dogs and cats in their care, through Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love Program. It truly takes a village, and it’s key for shelters to generate a culture of enthusiasm for animal welfare and develop a network of support so that vets in the shelter system can help animals get ready to find their new homes.
The Road to Adoption
For shelter vets, the most heartening and rewarding part of the job is the moment an animal is matched with new parents. “Seeing families be made, it’s thrilling and so rewarding. To feel like you were a big part of that, it's huge,” says Hickey. But getting an animal from intake to home-sweet-home requires logistics, procedures, lots of pet food and indeed lots of love.
First, the team evaluates the animal, provides any immediate care that may be needed, and starts them on the appropriate Hill’s pet food. But before making any big decisions, they allow time for owners to find lost pets.
“When they come in as a stray, we hold them for a 5-day loss period to make sure that if their owner is out there, they have adequate time to look around. We also post the animal’s photo and information to our website,” explains Hickey. After the loss period is up and the animals are evaluated, the vet team can proceed to more advanced treatments such as spaying and neutering, bloodwork, and dental work. Additionally, they will develop a nutrition plan using Hill’s pet food that best addresses the animals’ needs. Once ready, they’re put up for adoption, along with the appropriate information and suggestions so they can be matched with the best possible home—for both animals and owners. “If an animal might not be good with children, then we make that recommendation,” says Hickey.
Another important role for shelter veterinarians is helping future pet parents understand that the choice goes beyond looks. “Lifestyles should be kept in mind when thinking about adopting an animal,” explains Cornejo. “If you’re an avid hiker, or if you’re looking for your very own couch potato, it’s important to recognize that all these animals have different requirements depending on breed, size, and age.”
The Power of Nutrition
A shelter vet must also provide proper nutrition for these furry friends, but it’s far more involved than just giving out kibble. Different animals have different nutritional needs, and over 800 shelters across the country rely on Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s Food, Shelter & Love Program to provide their dogs and cats with science-led nutrition to help them be as healthy as they can be.
“Good nutrition is a critical part of every healthy animal. It helps maintain their digestive system, supports their immune system, and helps them reach their ideal weight,” explains Cornejo. “It also provides the right nutrients the animals need for their organs to function properly and helps them have a healthy and shiny coat and skin.”
Pet nutrition shouldn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Specific formulations can help animals flourish at different life stages. “When choosing the right food, we consider a series of factors. They may have unique nutritional considerations or age-related concerns. Hill’s helps us provide them with the nutrients they need for their specific age and size.”
This support should go beyond the shelter. “When pets go to their new homes, as exciting as it is, it’s also a stressful experience due to all the changes. It’s important that new pet parents keep feeding the animals the same food,” says Hickey. “It’s an easy way to offer them some consistency and lower their stress levels.” Thanks to Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s ongoing support through the Food, Shelter & Love program, hundreds of shelters are able to provide new pet parents with samples of the same premium food they’ve been eating while at the shelter.
Behavior and Wellness
Because shelter animals arrive with different life experiences and exposure histories, proper behavioral care is another crucial part in getting pets adoption-ready. In fact, behavioral problems are a leading cause of pet surrenders by owners to animal shelters in the United States.
In addition to the trauma associated with experiencing homelessness or cruelty, animals can be further stressed by a high-density shelter setting and often require extra TLC as they navigate socialization with other animals as well as humans. The skills and techniques of shelter vets help to mitigate aggression, anxiety, urine marking, and other behavioral issues, so animals can put their best paw forward throughout the adoption process.
“We see a lot of pets that come into the shelter that maybe didn’t have the appropriate socialization before they got here. We’re able to work with them on how to walk on a leash, meet new people, and how to be around other animals. A lot of the socialization, especially for dogs, comes down to learning all these things and associating them with rewards that range from treats to a belly rub,” notes Hickey. In other words, shelter vets help the furry friends of the Dumb Friends League prepare for a life outside of the shelter and in the homes of loving owners. They even set up for success by providing guidance and education that owners can apply once their 4-legged friend arrives at their new home.
A Second Chance for Karmen
“For me, this is my dream job,” says Hickey.
Indeed, working with doe-eyed kittens or cuddly dogs is an ostensibly desirable career. It’s even a common misconception that veterinary medicine provides an easier path than traditional human medicine when, in fact, many of the prerequisites are the same, and veterinarians must additionally learn about a vast multitude of species. Oh, and the patients don’t usually talk.
And while Hickey and Cornejo both have achieved their dream job, they’re as familiar with the unglamorous road to veterinary medicine as they are with the reward: The incomparable joy of seeing an animal get a second chance at life. Today, Cornejo, Hickey, and many other shelter vets throughout the country can have a much larger impact thanks to programs such as Clear the Shelters and Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s Food, Shelter & Love Program.
When hope for certain animals feels elusive, Erin Hickey remembers Karmen’s story, a severely injured pup who was in the care of the Dumb Friends League for a particularly long time. “We didn’t know if she had chemical burns or electrical ones. She was antisocial, was afraid to walk on a leash and she was very timid around most people.” Karmen required a lengthy stay at the shelter, allowing time for the burn wounds on her eyes and face to improve.
While Karmen began to flourish and became a staff favorite, she did struggle to find the right home for her. “She was adopted out a couple times and returned because it wasn’t the right fit. It was hard seeing her in a shelter and feeling like she was missing out on a normal dog life in a home,” explains Hickey.
Karmen’s patience paid off when the perfect pet parent finally arrived. “It was the perfect home, it was the perfect set up,” says Hickey. So perfect, in fact, that Karmen’s new owner affectionately referred to Karmen as her soul dog. “It made sense to me. Now I realize the reason why she was here as long as she was. It’s because she was waiting for that perfect person.”

Emma Langley’s first bike race still sticks in her mind — and especially its eventful conclusion.
It was just less than 10 years ago, and Langley was a student at William & Mary, a member of the cycling club. The group was hosting this particular race, and Langley was just 500 meters from her first finish line when a crash unfolded in front of her.
She avoided the crash itself, but the resulting carnage — an errant bike — took her out. The spill, for obvious reasons, wasn’t super pleasant as Langley put it.
But what happened next was a sign of the passion for the sport that paved the way for a pursuit that’s become a career.
“I remember just popping right back up and thinking, 'All right, when's the next race?'” Langley said. “Like, not phased. I still wanted more."
People are also reading…
By her senior year in Williamsburg, Langley was enjoying success in that same collegiate racing series. She settled in Richmond after graduation, a place she considers a hidden gem for cycling. And after progressing from local and regional races, to national races — while still working — Langley reached a level in which she was able to turn pro last year.
She’s become known for her dedication to the hours upon hours of training it takes to be successful in cycling, and her patience with the results that have steadily come in return — growth that positioned her to be able to reach her highest pinnacle to this point, earlier this summer.
Competing in the USA Cycling Professional Road National Championships on June 26 in Knoxville, Langley broke free in the final stretch to grab first place — a significant victory that could help set her up for more success in her burgeoning pro career.
“I will never forget that feeling of crossing the finish line,” Langley said this past Tuesday. “It was surreal. I was taking it in as it was happening but, at the same time, it was an out of body experience of knowing even in that moment how big of a deal it is.”
Langley was born in England, but moved around to multiple countries in her early childhood because of her father’s job, with a French bank. Her family went from England, where both her parents are from, to Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden and then the U.S.
She was 7 when they arrived in America, and her family settled in Connecticut.
Langley was a competitive swimmer growing up, and transitioned to triathlon late in her time in high school, adding the cycling and running disciplines.
At William & Mary, though, there wasn’t an expansive triathlon club. But there was a solid cycling club, a group that Langley did her triathlon cycling training with and that became a social circle for her.
Members of the cycling club encouraged Langley to try some cycling races, which she did.
“And that’s kind of what then made the pieces click and made me think, ‘You know what? I want to see if I can be the best at just riding rather than spreading myself through three different sports,’” Langley said.
Racing with the club at William & Mary helped because she always had a structure, with a race season to count on, events during which she gained experience and confidence.
James Petersen began coaching Langley when she was still a triathlete, and continued to work with her in the shift to cycling. The move allowed Langley to up the intensity and hours of work on her bike, because she didn’t have swimming and running to worry about as well.
“I think what separated Emma was she kind of was always patient,” said Petersen, the head coach and founder of New Hampshire-based JP Elite. “She always got better, and it didn’t have to happen the next day or the next year even. She’s just always been patient, and her growth has just always been steady.
“And that’s probably one of the best qualities in the great athletes.”
Langley moved to Richmond after graduating from William & Mary in 2017, with a degree in kinesiology. She worked full time, first as a personal trainer and then as a physical therapy technician, while squeezing in training in her off time and traveling to races on the weekends.
She took what she called a leap of faith in 2019, transitioning to a part-time job as a writing tutor to be able to devote more time to training and be able to travel to national-level races.
Langley secured a victory in the Green Mountain Stage Race in Vermont in September of that year, her first on a national stage.
“That's where I was like, 'You know what? I think I might have it if I keep going,’” Langley said. “And kind of take this all the way to the professional ranks."
The pandemic wiped out competition in 2020, but Langley was able to rely on her results from 2019 in her search for a race team home. She landed with her current team, EF Education-TIBCO-SVB — going pro last year and turning riding into a full-time gig, while still based in Richmond.
In May, Langley claimed the overall title in the Joe Martin Stage Race in Fayetteville, Ark., which is considered one of the premier stage races in the U.S.
In Knoxville, then, in June she, frankly, didn’t expect to win. Though she knew any of the five members of her team who were in the race could do it, she wasn’t necessarily the focus of the game plan.
“It’s a team tactics thing. It’s playing chess at 25 miles an hour,” said Brantley Tyndall, a friend of Langley’s, and also director of Bike Wike RVA with Sports Backers and president of the Virginia Bicycling Federation.
EF Education-TIBCO-SVB’s plan, Langley said, was to race conservatively until the halfway point. At that point, the team had the green light to race harder.
The pace was high but not so much that it was difficult to increase it, Langley said. She saw a chance and jumped. Two other competitors went with her in the breakaway. Then, with Langley out ahead, her teammates began working to help her, ensuring that the riders behind wouldn’t increase the pace to catch the group out front with Langley.
And Langley pulled out ahead of Cinch Rise’s Lauren De Crescenzo at the conclusion to win.
“It was picture perfect,” said Tyndall, who was watching on TV.
Langley’s schedule has remained busy since. The 26 year old raced in the CIC-Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées in France Aug. 5-7, where she finished ninth overall. She has more races in Belgium and France in the coming weeks.
She also has a cycling coaching business called Blue Ridge Coaching Co., that she devotes time to, sending her athletes workouts even when out of town.
As her own career continues to blossom, Langley has goals of competing in the world championships, the Tour de France Femmes and in the Olympics, for Team USA.
There’s always been a quiet confidence with Langley, Petersen said. And now, he said, people are starting to see what she’s capable of.
What she accomplished in Knoxville was an important step.
“I get to say for the whole next year that I'm the current national champion,” Langley said. “And, even after next year, I can still say I was a former national champion. Which is, it carries a lot.
“So it's really special to me and it means a lot.” | https://richmond.com/sports/local/richmond-rider-emma-langley-is-a-national-champion-cyclist/article_a9ccaf08-1a4b-11ed-8ff4-4311060c902b.html | 2022-08-15T14:37:04 | 1 | https://richmond.com/sports/local/richmond-rider-emma-langley-is-a-national-champion-cyclist/article_a9ccaf08-1a4b-11ed-8ff4-4311060c902b.html |

SEATTLE — Three boats were destroyed in a fire at a marina on Lake Washington Sunday night. A building at the marina was also badly damaged.
The Seattle Fire Department responded to the fire at Parkshore Marina, located on the 9000 block of Seward Park Avenue South near the Rainier Yacht Club, just after 9:40 p.m. Sunday.
Seattle Fire said crews laid more than 300 feet of hose to battle the fire from the shore. The Seattle Police Department Harbor Patrol responded and helped fight the fire from the Lake Washington side. The fire was contained and under control in about an hour, Seattle Fire said.
Two people were on the dock at the time of the fire but they escaped unharmed.
All three boats are “a total loss,” according to Seattle Fire. Two of the boats were mostly submerged Monday morning.
First responders deployed a boom in the water to contain the oil and gas from the boats. Department of Ecology was at the scene of the fire Monday morning.
Rob Reed, a spill responder with the Department of Ecology, said crews were securing the source of any oil and gas spilled from the fire and cleaning up any “surface water pollution.” Reed said there was a “significant” amount of oil and gas contained in the boom.
Reed said the owner of one of the vessels hired a contractor to assess the damage and cleanup from the fire.
No injuries have been reported. However, Seattle Fire said the boats had not been searched by early Monday morning due to the extent of the damage.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – NASA is getting ready for another rollout of the rocket for the Artemis I mission on Tuesday — but this time the rocket’s next destination is expected to be the Moon.
Crews at targeting as early as 9 p.m. Tuesday for the start of the rollout of the Space Launch Systems rocket with the Orion spacecraft on top.

The rocket, considered the most powerful ever built, is heading to Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center.
NASA has three possible launch dates for this first mission for the Artemis program:
- Aug. 29: Two-hour launch window opens at 8:33 a.m., 42-day mission with an Oct. 10 splashdown
- Sept. 2: Two-hour launch window opens at 12:48 p.m., 39-day mission with an Oct. 11 splashdown
- Sept. 5: One-and-a-half-hour launch window opens at 5:12 p.m., 42-day mission with an Oct. 17 splashdown
The first launch will be an uncrewed flight to orbit the Moon with three mannequins on board, including one named “Commander Moonequin Campos.”
The mission will be intensive for the crews back on Earth as they test the spacecraft systems, including the heat shield, which can not be properly tested back on Earth.
If successful, the next mission — Artemis II — will take two astronauts to the Moon’s orbit. Artemis III will see the first woman land on the Moon.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is selling viewing packages for the Artemis I launch. Prices for the three packages start at $99 per person and go as high as $250. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/08/15/rollout-of-artemis-rocket-ahead-of-1st-launch-expected-tuesday/ | 2022-08-15T15:36:22 | 1 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/08/15/rollout-of-artemis-rocket-ahead-of-1st-launch-expected-tuesday/ |
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Superintendent Dr. Carmen Balgobin was at the school bus depot on Monday in Volusia County and while she greeted bus drivers back, she explained just how the district is managing staff shortages.
Balgobin said the district needs over 200 teachers and eight school bus drivers.

“Every classroom has a teacher so what we did as a district level is we looked at those classrooms that we couldn’t hire teachers for yet and they have been filled with district personnel, certified folks,” Balgobin explained.
Balgobin stopped at several schools on Monday to welcome back students, including Atlantic High School.
“We know we have our challenges like other districts, but we will work through them together. We’re going to ensure that we are accomplishing our goals, but we are going to be doing this together as a team,” she said.
Lorenzo Neal, a Volusia County fifth grade student, said he’s looking forward to a fun school year.
“I was very excited to go to school when Sunday had came. I miss my friends and also my teachers,” he said.
Tiffany Greene, also known as “Miss G,” said it’s good to be back on the bus and behind the wheel.
“We came a long way, so it’s going to be a good year for us,” Greene said.
She’s been a school bus driver for more than a decade and has been with the district for 6 years.
Greene said she’s also looking forward to seeing her students.
“Just building new relationships with new kids, especially my kindergarteners, my babies! I love the little ones, I like the big ones too,” Greene said.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A Volusia County woman was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the death of her 5-month-old son, who was hit repeatedly and dropped on the floor when he wouldn’t stop crying.

The infant’s father, Calib J. Scott, was found guilty earlier this year of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and neglect of a child causing great bodily harm. According to prosecutors, Scott was taking care of Damon in Ormond Beach in 2019 when the infant wouldn’t stop crying. Prosecutors said he then hit the 5-month-old repeatedly and dropped him on the floor to get him to stop crying.
When first responders got to the scene, they found Damon unresponsive and dehydrated. He was taken to nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
According to the arrest report, while at the hospital, staff found the infant had bruises at various stages of healing, cuts on his face and a suspected cigarette burn behind his ear.
Holly, Scott’s ex-girlfriend, was arrested in 2020 in Michigan. Holly was questioned by Ormond Beach police in June 2019, when she and Scott called 911, reporting their child wasn’t breathing.
She told officers the child’s injuries were due to a box fan accidentally falling on his face. She added she was not aware of the child’s cigarette burn and explained she believed his injuries were “not that bad,” according to a police report.
Holly was sentenced to 12 years in prison followed by 8 years of probation with inpatient treatment, according to the State Attorney’s Office.

FLORAL CITY, Fla. — A man barricaded inside a Floral City home with a gun was arrested after a standoff with deputies, the Citrus County Sheriff's Office said in an update.
The sheriff's office says 46-year-old Cameron Stanhope was taken into custody. He will be arrested on his Ohio warrant for theft, criminal use of personal identification and illegal use of credit card.
Local charges are also pending, the agency explains.
"Thank you to our community for your patience during this critical incident. We are pleased to report the peaceful resolution of this situation and that all of our deputies will be returning home safely," the sheriff's office wrote in a Facebook post.

LAKELAND, Fla. — A Polk County Sheriff's Office deputy who was hit by a car Sunday evening likely will be able to leave the hospital with no serious injuries.
Deputy Katie Reese was outside her patrol car with other deputies around 9:20 p.m. on Combee Road near Old Combee Road outside of Lakeland when another driver crashed into her, according to a Polk County Sheriff's Office news release.
The agency says deputies parked their cars on the northbound shoulder with their lights on while Reese and another deputy were on the shoulder of the southbound side outside of the white fog line.
Reese was hit from behind while on the roadway, the sheriff's office said.
The oncoming car's driver, who stayed behind after the crash, said he didn't notice the deputies because he was looking at the other cars on the other side of the road, the news release states. As he came up on the scene, he reportedly moved his car closer to the shoulder — and hit Reese.
"We are very happy that Deputy Reese was not seriously injured. This is a reminder of the dangers that law enforcement officers face every day, and for drivers to approach cautiously when emergency vehicles are present," Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement.
The crash remains under investigation. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/polkcounty/polk-county-deputy-katie-reese-hit/67-7c7959c0-d7f0-4977-b8f3-0681d96f2d77 | 2022-08-15T15:53:07 | 0 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/polkcounty/polk-county-deputy-katie-reese-hit/67-7c7959c0-d7f0-4977-b8f3-0681d96f2d77 |
WATERLOO --- A Waterloo man who was shot and killed by police after pointing what appeared to be a pistol at them has been identified.
The deceased has been identified as 32-year-old Michael Ahrens. He was pronounced dead at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, according to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
Authorities said the weapon Ahrens was holding turned out to be an air-soft gun designed to look like a SIG Sauer pistol.
Police had yelled for him to drop the weapon multiple times and fired a less-lethal round at him before the shooting.
Two officers fired on Ahrens, and investigators haven’t released the identities of the officers involved.
DCI is investigating the incident, which is standard procedure for officer-involved shootings.

According to the DCI, Waterloo police were called around 4:30 p.m. Saturday after Ahrens, who court records indicate was homeless, was waiving the gun around at the Flavor Stop ice cream store on Lafayette Street.
Officers found the man walking in the area of Dubuque Road, and he walked away from police and ignored orders to drop the weapon as he continued walking.
During the confrontation, an officer fired a less-lethal bean-bag-type round at Ahrens, apparently striking him, according to the DCI. Ahrens when pointed the weapon police and was shot.
Authorities provided first-aid, and he was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.
This is the third officer-involved shooting for the Waterloo Police Department in less the two years.

Veterans Voice: Westerly couple recalls the 'miracles' of Feb. 10, 1945
John and Mary Stellitano (known as Guy and Mimi to their families) celebrated their 78th anniversary on May 29. John will be 100 years old next March, while Mary turns 98 this December.
Things did not look good for 21-year-old B-17 bomber pilot John Stellitano and his crew that February day in 1945. They had just completed a four-hour flight to their target —Leipzig, one of the most heavily defended cities in all of Germany.
Enemy anti-aircraft fire was brutal, and accurate. Three of their four engines were damaged and they were limping back to Allied lines on one engine. Bad weather was closing in and they could no longer see the ground.
That same day, back in Westerly, Rhode Island, John’s 20-year-old wife, Mary, went into labor with their first child, daughter Sherron.
Many years later, Mary wrote: “I know now she was the angel flying with my husband and his crew that day, as it was one of the worst missions they had ever been on. Many bombers were lost, and my husband‘s plane was badly hit by flak.
“I think miracles do happen! My husband and his crew will always remember that day and our daughter’s birthday.”
How this story started
John Stellitano was born March 28, 1923, in Westerly.
Raised on Pierce Street, he went on to excel at Westerly High School, graduating in 1941. He lettered in basketball baseball, and was captain and quarterback of the football team. His yearbook entry described him as “the most athletic boy in the class.”
In high school, he also met the love of his life, Mary Capalbo. She was a year behind him in school and they had gone steady for two years.
Stellitano went on to URI (Rhode Island State College then). He studied aeronautical engineering and played freshman football.
“Little did I know I was only going to be there for four months,” he said many years later.
“I was pretty much oblivious to what was going on in the world. We didn't really concern ourselves with Adolf Hitler, or the taking over of Poland or anything like that.
“We were college freshmen with typical freshman concerns.”
That all changed on Dec. 7, 1941.
John and a dozen or so of his fraternity brothers were listening to the radio when President Franklin Roosevelt announced the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The “day of infamy” speech was especially traumatic to them. “We looked at each other and seriously considered terminating our formal education at the university and applying for duty in the military that day,” Stellitano said.
Mimi was home with her Dad that Sunday.
“President Roosevelt came on,” she said. “We were all stunned. As seniors in high school, we knew there was a war over in Europe, but we figured it wasn't going to harm us. We had no idea.”
Most of John’s fraternity brothers enlisted at practically the same time. “Some went into the Marines, some went in the Navy,” he said. “I chose Air Corps, because my major was in aeronautical engineering.”
John goes to war
He enlisted in the Air Corps in February 1942 and was inducted at Fort Devens. Over the next two years, his training took him to Mississippi, Wisconsin, Arizona, California and Texas. Finally, in early May 1944, he earned his wings and was commissioned as a flight officer, assigned to multi-engine, heavy-bombardment aircraft.
John and Mary got married a couple of weeks later. “We were going to wait until he got out of college,” she said. “Then we decided we’d get married while he's in service, not realizing what the war was all about.
“We figured, 'Let's just get married.' The parents tried to talk us out of it. But we said, ‘No, we're gonna get married.’
“And I got pregnant right away,” she added.
The newlyweds went to Florida, where Stellitano received specific training on the B-17. “This was very intense, replicating everything we would have to do to fly and navigate an aircraft to a target and bomb it,” he said.
Each crew picked up a new plane right off the assembly line and flew it to a particular air base in England.
Their air base was Deopham Green, about 100 miles northeast of London. Stellitano and his crew were assigned to the 728th Bomb Squadron, 452nd Bomb Group.
When they arrived in late November 1944, their unit was suffering from a shortage of crews.
Consider this statistic: The 8th Air Force in Europe lost more men than the entire U.S. Marine Corps did in World War II.
“I started flying combat missions in December,” Stellitano said. “We flew almost daily for about 17 days. When I wrote home, I said we were still in training to relieve Mimi’s concerns. But by then, we had 17 missions, meaning we moved from rookies to seasoned veterans in less than three weeks.”
John named his plane "Little Mary,” for his wife of course.
“We were only hit by fighters six times out of the 36 missions we flew, and we were lucky to survive those attacks,” Stellitano said.
Back to Feb. 10, 1945
Because they could not see the ground, they did not know the terrain below them, and they were losing altitude fast. Their one functioning engine was straining, and the crew chief warned it might explode at any moment.
“We had to make a decision; fly as far as we could or jump,” Stellitano said. “The crew wanted to bail out.
“But if we jumped, we would most likely land in enemy territory, and end up as POWs.”
If they flew on, they increased their chances of reaching friendly lines.
“We decided to stay with the aircraft and we finally broke out of the clouds at about 700 feet. We saw a big open field and decided we would try to bring her in. We crash landed going into the ground at 114 miles an hour, wheels up [I will never forget that speed].”
They had landed just 15 miles into friendly territory.
“We were lucky that nobody got hurt, no scratches, nothing. God must have been watching over us … or perhaps a guardian angel.”
It was two weeks before Stellitano finally made it back to Deopham Green.
That was when he learned Sherron had been born — two weeks early. He knew Mary was pregnant with their first child, but the due date wasn't until Feb. 24.
“It was just fate that we were in trouble on Feb. 10 and our baby was born the same day.
“People will ask me when was Sherron born, and immediately I say Feb. 10, 1945. If you ask me about Kathy or Stevie, I scratch my head and try to remember what the date was.
Completing the mission
The shortage of crews was fortunate in a way because Stellitano and his crew were in combat only from December 1944 to March 1945. “In that short period, we flew 36 missions — enough to get us home.”
Earlier in the war, the magic number was 25 missions; you may recall the famous Memphis Belle, the first bomber and crew to reach that goal in 1943. As the war swung in the Allies’ favor, that number was increased to 30 missions, then 35.
When they finished those missions, they had the option of learning to fly B-29s to help finish the war against Japan, or they could request a discharge and go home.
“For me, that was a no brainer,” Stellitano said with a laugh. “I just requested a discharge and came home as fast as I could.”
He was discharged in April 1945.
His first impulse was to become a pilot with a major airline. He asked for an application and they sent him a big package.
“The work you had to do was just mind boggling," he said. "I was a hot pilot who had just flown some 5,000 hours in multi-engine aircraft and now I'm going to have to go back to flight school and start all over again.”
That changed his thinking.
He spoke with his old coach and mentor, Bill Mudge. “He got me interested in working with youngsters. He convinced me that teaching would be a good career for me. And it turned out that it was.”
John returned to the University of Rhode Island and earned a bachelor of science degree in education. He taught at Lockwood High School in Warwick before returning to Westerly. There, he taught math and physics, but also began coaching football and basketball.
During his 11 years as basketball coach, his teams won four state championships — 1955, 1956, 1958 and 1960. They also won eight straight Class A championships. Westerly honored him by proclaiming April 30, 1965, as “John Stellitano Day.” The Westerly High School fitness center is named in his honor.
He also continued to expand his educational credentials, earning a master’s degree and a doctorate in educational administration. He accepted an administration position at Roger Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, Connecticut, where he remained until his retirement in 1991.
John and Mary have three children, Sherron (married to Robert Fair), Steven (married to Kathryn Ennis) and Kathryn (married to Michael Ladd). They have seven grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
One of those grandchildren, Nick Stellitano, flew Harrier jets for the Marines, serving three combat deployments in Iraq.
“We flew 150 mph on a bomb run,” John said. “Nick flew between 400-500 mph on his missions. That’s a little faster than I want to go.”
John and Mary still reside in Westerly and also spend time at their cottage in Misquamicut. John still appreciates visits from his former students and players, and for many years, he was a frequent speaker at school and community events.
His message: Freedom doesn't come easily. And it's the responsibility of every generation to take that upon themselves.
“Luckily enough, we lived to enjoy the aftermath of the war and to enjoy the family we have. Both Mary and I thank God for that.
“I just would like to see our national leaders, state leaders and local leaders all try to bring back the respect we used to have for one another, so that we can resolve the difficulties that our country is now facing.”

BOYD COUNTY, KY (WOWK) – The Ashland Police Department is warning of a scam going around on social media that is being posted to community groups allegedly to create a scare.
According to the Ashland PD, the scammers go into a community group and post a warning of alleged criminals in the area. Specifically, the APD says this scam reported from the “Boyd County Sale & Trade” group was a message posted about an alleged “serial killer and abductor,” alleged “mugshot” included, in the Boyd County area allegedly kidnapping women. The poster even says their “friend was almost taken.” The APD says their is no indication of anything like this happening in the area.
The APD says other agencies have had similar reports of the exact same post with only the location changed in the wording.
This is not the first time a false post warning of criminals has reached the area, just last month, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office investigated reports from a post circulating that a woman had been targeted by a man in the Teays Valley Kroger parking lot and that her husband had intervened seeing the same thing happen to another woman a different night.
In that case, the PCSO said they were unable to locate any evidence of the alleged suspect, alleged suspect vehicle, or even the supposed complainant. There was also no evidence on Kroger’s video surveillance that matched the account of the alleged incidents.
Anyone who sees posts like these should take caution to see if they are actually real before sharing the post. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/ashland-kentucky-police-warn-of-scam-creating-a-scare/ | 2022-08-15T16:01:39 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/ashland-kentucky-police-warn-of-scam-creating-a-scare/ |

Turnout for early voting in Natrona County’s primary is higher this year than most other non-presidential election years, the county clerk’s office said.
As of Friday, with just two days of early voting left before Tuesday’s election, nearly 4,000 people had voted early in Natrona County, chief deputy clerk Cindy Rissler said. The early voting period began at the start of July.
Around 300 people voted at the county courthouse on Thursday alone, another election worker said.
It’s unclear how many absentee ballots have been submitted so far, though the county had sent out 1,500 mail-in ballots and received 200 back by mid-July.
The county has seen a significant number of people change their party affiliation, mostly from Democratic or unaffiliated to Republican. Wyoming voters can change parties, or register to vote, on the day they cast their ballots.

TIJUANA, Baja California — The United States Consulate General in Tijuana has lifted a shelter in place order for government employees that went into effect on August 12. The government warned U.S. citizens to reconsider travel to Baja California due to crime and kidnapping.
The order was put into effect after a wave of chaos across Baja California, at least 19 vehicles were set on fire in Mexicali, Ensenada, Tecate, Rosarito, and Tijuana, according to Mexican government officials.
Officials confirmed that a total of 17 suspects have been detained from different cities in Mexico. Seven of those suspects were detained in Tijuana.
Mexican government officials attribute the violence to organized crime, saying this has been the third time this week that Mexican cities have witnessed arson and shootings by drug cartels.
However, this is the first time Tijuana was included in the recent wave of violence.
The Mayor of Tijuana, Montserrat Caballero, posted a video on Twitter condemning the violence. She added that she would deploy as many as 2,000 police officers and 3,000 National Guard troops to Tijuana if necessary.
Over the weekend, Caballero ruled out a curfew in the city and said locals can continue with their daily activities.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Note: The video is from June 2021.
A historic building in Harrisburg has a new look thanks to the efforts of a local artist and a nonprofit group.
Sprocket Mural Works announced the completion of a soaring, three-story mural on the historic "Carpets and Draperies" building at 1507 N. Third Street.
The mural, entitled "We Are Connected by Rope Bridges," was created by Harrisburg artist Tara Chickey, Sprocket Mural Works said in a press release.
“Using her signature color palette, which is bright and cheery, Tara Chickey’s mural is all about color and shapes, and the way they interplay with each other,” said Meg Caruso, Sprocket’s President and Co-Founder. “I think it’s important to appreciate art that’s more loose and colorful, which makes this mural stand out from the entire Third Street mural corridor.”
The mural marks the 15th mural located directly along a mural-dense, mile-long stretch of N. Third St. in Midtown Harrisburg, forming the backbone of the Harrisburg Mural Trail which extends into the Capital District, Allison Hill, Steelton and Penbrook neighborhoods.
“What Sprocket has done on Third Street has had a major influence on the streetscape—it’s made a big impact on how Harrisburg feels—and right away, I knew I wanted this building to be part of that,” said Nathaniel Foote, owner of the newly renovated "Carpets and Draperies building.
Foote plans to move into the building's top floor, and also will be leasing four additional apartments and retail space to Broad Street Market bakery vendor Raising the Bar.
According to Foote, the “Carpets & Draperies” building—known by the remaining portion of its original signage—is the former Gerber’s Department Store which opened its doors exactly 100 years ago, in October of 1922.
“This building used to be a showpiece—it symbolizes what Midtown used to be, 100 years ago, and the potential it still has 100 years later—and the mural is a big part of that,” said Foote, whose legal firm, Andreozzi & Foote, sponsored the mural’s creation.
Although the building was vacant for at least 15 years, Chickey added murals to its front windows during Sprocket’s first full-length summer festival in 2017. Those murals were removed during renovations, so Caruso said it only made sense to invite Chickey back to create new artwork, in a full-circle moment.
Additionally, the building has special meaning for Chickey, who had one of her first art exhibits there, in the early 2000s — during which she met her now-husband. Their daughter’s artwork inspired Chickey’s mural design.
“I think murals make a city—make it more welcoming and inspiring — so I’m happy to be part of that legacy by bringing some joyful color to the city,” said Chickey.
This is Chickey’s largest mural to-date, and she admits the size and scope of the project was intimidating at first.
“My paintings are always very intuitive and atmospheric, so it was a bit of a challenge to see if I could translate that into a bigger scale,” Chickey said. She describes the process of becoming OSHA lift-certified in order to paint from the ground level, up to the top of the third floor, as “pretty wild at first.”
“We Are Connected by Rope Bridges” is Chickey’s second full-scale Sprocket mural—she previously painted a mural depicting birds in flight, behind 333 Market St., at 28 S. Dewberry St., during the fall of 2020.
Chickey serves as art director at Harrisburg gallery, restaurant and brewery destination The Millworks and is a former Central Dauphin High School art teacher.
Sprocket organizes a biennial mural festival (occurring every other summer); the 2021 Harrisburg Mural Festival by Sprocket Mural Works added 10 mural projects to the city landscape. The Carpets & Draperies mural was to have been part of that celebration, but construction delays were a factor.
This fall, Sprocket is coordinating with the nonprofit Parliament Arts Organization to produce two murals in the city of York. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/dauphin-county/sprocket-mural-works-harrisburg-north-third-street/521-5224e149-a54f-4ab5-8473-ad64085d75e0 | 2022-08-15T16:06:50 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/dauphin-county/sprocket-mural-works-harrisburg-north-third-street/521-5224e149-a54f-4ab5-8473-ad64085d75e0 |

A Chesterfield man has been identified as the victim of a two-vehicle crash Saturday in the 1100 block of South Providence Road.
Killed was William E. Trivett III, 39.
Police said Trivett, driving a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier, was traveling on South Providence Road at a high rate of speed when his vehicle crossed the double-yellow line into the path of a 2011 Chevrolet Express van about 7 a.m.
Trivett, who lived in 500 block of Pullbrooke Road in Chesterfield, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the Cavalier's only occupant.

The crash remains under investigation and anyone with information is urged to call Chesterfield police at (804) 748-1251 or Crime Solvers at (804) 748-0660. Tips can also be provided through the P3 app.
The case, which had been watched nationally, tested the constitutionality of a "geofence" warrant that allowed Chesterfield County police to obtain Google location records of 19 cellphones near the bank at the time of the heist.
Reported violent crime rose from 522 offenses during the first six months of 2021 to 531 for the same period this year. By comparison, property crime surged from 3,119 offenses to 4,134, the chief reported.

Police have identified a Petersburg man as the passenger of a pickup truck who was killed when the vehicle plunged down an embankment and landed on its roof onto Interstate-295 in Chesterfield County.

The Duneland School Corp. has added a year to the construction schedule for Liberty and Westchester middle schools as a result of "supply chain challenges."
The school corporation also announced that planned facility improvements for athletics and performing arts areas at Chesterton High School will not be undertaken due to rising construction costs.
Seventh- and eighth-grade students will now move into the schools in fall 2024, instead of 2023, Superintendent Chip Pettit announced at a School Board meeting last week. Fifth- and sixth-grade students will continue attending Liberty and Westchester this year and next, and Chesterton Middle School will remain open.
The construction delay also means a redistricting plan impacting some Yost Elementary School and Liberty students will not go into effect until the 2024-25 school year.
The long-term facility plan, which reduces the district from nine schools to eight, also includes a new Yost Elementary School in Porter and renovations at Bailly, Brummitt, Jackson and Liberty elementary schools. Yost construction is underway, and work at the other elementary is scheduled to begin in spring 2023.
The school corporation facility plan calls for the continued use of the eastern portion of the middle school building, located between West Morgan and Porter avenues, for offices and various programs, and will keep the 25-meter competition pool. Meanwhile, school officials have begun talks with the Duneland Family YMCA on the possibility of transforming the school building into an education, health and wellness hub.
"The development of the CMS site as the new home of the YMCA would be a continuation and expansion of the relationship between the two organizations," the school corporation announced.
The Y is discussing the possibility of other organizations joining it at the site. "Included in this group of potential partners are the town of Chesterton, Duneland Chamber of Commerce, Franciscan Health, Northshore Health Centers, Jacob’s Ladder, Porter Starke Services and the Visiting Nurses Association," DSC said.
“To better address the expectations of the Y’s members, and meet the needs of the community, the Y was looking to renovate or replace our current facility,” YMCA Board Chairwoman Elizabeth Adcock said as part of the school corporation's announcement. “The opportunity presented by the Duneland School Corp. and the middle school site will allow the Y to exceed member expectations as well as meet current and emerging needs in collaboration with providers and employers whose work compliments, supplements and supports our own.”
“The school corporation is excited about the possibilities this partnership presents for extended and innovative use of the CMS site in service to the entire community,” Pettit said. “The School Board and I look forward to participating in the development process with the Y and its impressive list of potential partners.”
