Andrew Benintendi hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the seventh inning and the New York Yankees got a win they desperately needed, beating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 Sunday to avoid a four-game sweep.
On the day Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was booed while the team retired the No. 21 of former star Paul O'Neill, the AL East leaders won for just the 10th time in 30 games since the All-Star break. They top the division by eight games over Toronto.
After New York's frustrations reached the point of ace Gerrit Cole punching the dugout roof twice and manager Aaron Boone pounding his hand on the podium during a postgame news conference Saturday, the Yankees' only qualms were with Toronto starter Alek Manoah.
In the fifth, Manoah plunked major league home run leader Aaron Judge in the left elbow with a sinker. Judge glanced at Manoah as Cole started yelling and a few other Yankees came over the dugout railing.
Cole was intercepted by bench coach Carlos Mendoza before reaching the umpires. During the commotion, Judge and Manoah, who were teammates in the All-Star Game last month, appeared to diplomatically discuss the pitch.
The Yankees came back quickly after Wandy Peralta walked ninth-place hitter Jackie Bradley Jr. to force in the tying run in the top of the seventh.
Jose Trevino beat third baseman Matt Chapman’s off-balance throw for an infield hit and was sacrificed to second. Benintendi hit a long foul ball, then sent a slider from Adam Cimber (9-5) into the second deck in right field.
News
Benintendi, who also doubled, hit his fourth homer of the season. It was his first home run since June 20, more than a month before Kansas City traded him to New York.
Anthony Rizzo scored on a throwing error by Toronto left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr in the first. and DJ LeMahieu hit a go-ahead RBI single in the fourth.
Whit Merrifield hit a bizarre home run in the Toronto fourth on a ball that twice bounced on the fence before going over. The Blue Jays had won four in a row.
Lou Trivino (2-7) got the final seven outs.
New York starter Nestor Cortes allowed one run and three hits in six innings. He struck out five.
Manoah allowed two runs, one of them earned, and four hits in six innings.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Blue Jays: OF/DH George Springer didn’t start for the third straight game after fouling a ball off his knee while going 5 for 5 in Thursday. He singled as a pinch-hitter in the seventh… LHP Tim Mayza (dislocated right shoulder) threw 10 pitches in his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Buffalo Friday.
Yankees: OF/DH Giancarlo Stanton (left Achilles tendinitis) went 0 for 3 as the DH in his first rehab game for Double-A Somerset on Saturday night and was expected to get three to five at-bats Sunday. Stanton will work out Monday afternoon in New York and face RHP Luis Severino (right lat strain) in live batting practice Tuesday but is unlikely to play in the Subway Series. ... RHP Clay Holmes (back) threw 10 pitches in a bullpen session, a day after playing catch for the first time since going on the IL Wednesday. … LHP Zack Britton (left elbow) threw 18 pitches in a bullpen session Saturday at the team’s spring training complex in Florida. … RHP Albert Abreu (right elbow inflammation) was placed on the IL and RHP Luke Bard had his contract purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
UP NEXT
Blue Jays: open a three-game series in Boston Tuesday.
Yankees: RHP Domingo Germán (1-2, 4.45) opens the Subway Series against Mets RHP Max Scherzer (9-2, 2.15), who is going for his 200th career win. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/sagging-yankees-win-for-just-10th-time-in-30-games-top-jays/3833007/ | 2022-08-21T23:18:12 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/sagging-yankees-win-for-just-10th-time-in-30-games-top-jays/3833007/ |

Jerome High School Alumni takes on the Jerome First Responders during the 2nd Annual Friday Night Lights game Friday evening, Aug. 19, 2022, at Jerome High School.
JEROME — The second annual Friday Night Lights charity games took place Friday at Jerome High School.
The Guns and Hoses team of first-responders from Jerome and the surrounding area took on Jerome's Alumni team. With players ranging from the classes of 1988 through 2015, the night was filled with sounds of laughter and high-fives from both teams.
The game was simple; with two 12-minutes halves, the offense had five seconds to snap the ball while the defense only needed to get one hand on the ball carrier to stop the play. In the end, the Alumni defeated the First-responders in a tight back-and-forth contest.
Two more games were played that evening that included the Jerome High School Junior Varsity and C teams.

A University of Idaho Extension weed scientist has some promising leads in trials evaluating potential herbicides for use in Idaho’s new hemp farming industry.
Pamela Hutchinson, a potato cropping systems weed scientist at the U of I Aberdeen Research and Extension Center, and Chad Jackson, the facility’s operations manager, are among a small group of growers licensed to raise hemp in Idaho.
This is the first season in which hemp production has been allowed in the state, and no herbicides are currently available to Idaho hemp farmers.
Unable to find funding for large-scale trials, Hutchinson planted some small industrial hemp plots under irrigation, using seed supplied by IND Hemp of Fort Benton, Montana. In addition to her encouraging herbicide-tolerance results, businessmen involved in the new industry have taken notice of the exceptional quality of Hutchinson’s crop, which shows potential for Idaho to become a major hemp-production state.

“I met with an agronomist from IND Hemp," Hutchinson said. "They’re really excited about how good the hemp looked in my trial and the possibilities of raising hemp under irrigation.”
This winter, university will work out details of an Extension program with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes in southeast Idaho, teaching members how to register to produce hemp through the Idaho State Department of Agriculture and how to grow a successful crop. The tribes plan to raise hemp starting next spring.
“There has been some interest in growing it but we don’t know how to grow it here in Idaho,” Hutchinson said.
Although many people are interested in growing the new crop, there were concerns about the number of steps the Idaho State Department of Agriculture requires to get a license.
Interested in growing or using hemp? Magic Valley farmers are ready to grow it and there's a meeting soon for more info.
Tim Cornie, co-owner of 1,000 Springs Mill in Buhl, planted about 10 acres of hemp this season for research. He plans to use grain from the hemp he grows to produce a gluten-free hemp meal-replacement bar. He explained hemp is highly nutritious and tastes good, and he anticipates Idaho will be a significant player in the production of hemp for food. He’ll use the hemp fiber to make insulation.
“I can see a lot of people growing it. The acres will start to double every year for a while,” Cornie said. “It will be a great rotation crop behind wheat and corn.”
Ben Brimlow, lead agronomist with IND Hemp, sees potential for Idaho to be among the top five U.S. states for hemp production. He likes the Gem State’s volcanic soils, access to irrigation, climate and latitude.
“What Pam Hutchinson is doing is just phenomenal. Her trials are amazing,” Brimlow said. “We’d be happy to support any further research with seed. It’s so important to us just to get this industry moving quicker and further.”
Fiber hemp grows in dense stands and can reach up to 20 feet tall. Herbicides will be most important before the crop establishes and can outcompete weeds. Hutchinson planted plots with eight treatments, including both pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicides. She made an early season planting in mid-May and a later planting in mid-June.
She’s been encouraged by a pair of herbicides labeled for use in potatoes: Prowl H2O and Linex. Stinger, a herbicide labeled for use in some other crops, has also shown promise.
She’ll be working through the IR-4 Project, which was established to ensure specialty crop farmers can access crop protection products, to get the top-performing herbicides labeled for hemp production.
Xi Liang, a cropping systems agronomist, will assist in future trials to answer hemp production-related questions for Idaho farmers. Hutchinson also plans to study the best methods to terminate hemp to make certain it doesn’t escape fields and become weedy. | https://magicvalley.com/news/local/state-and-regional/university-of-idaho-trials-show-the-states-potential-for-hemp-production/article_0b9f457a-2180-11ed-88cf-5fadb6ebbb0b.html | 2022-08-21T23:21:41 | 0 | https://magicvalley.com/news/local/state-and-regional/university-of-idaho-trials-show-the-states-potential-for-hemp-production/article_0b9f457a-2180-11ed-88cf-5fadb6ebbb0b.html |
ATLANTIC CITY — The two most-anticipated fights Saturday were saved for last.
In the eight-bout Boardwalk Boxing: Rising Star Series card at a packed and energetic Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall’s Adrian Phillips Ballroom, Justin "Time" Figueroa earned a first-round knockout to win his professional boxing debut.
Figueroa (1-0), who is a 2017 Holy Spirit High School graduate a lifelong Atlantic City resident, threw some strong jabs and fast punches as Ohio's Tavaris Smith (0-6) quickly went to the floor.
The fight was over in 1 minute, 34 seconds.
"Before it started, there was so much anxiety going through my mind. I did not want to underestimate anybody," Figueroa said. "But I knew all the hard work I put in and all the sacrifices I made. And I put too much work into this to let this moment bypass me. So, I knew what time it was. It was Justin 'Time.' I got it in and I got the job done. That was it. Thank you to everyone who came out. Stand up, Atlantic City. We did it. Onto the next."

Millville's Thomas "Cornflake" LaManna (32-5-1, 13 KOs) won the main event with an eight-round unanimous decision over Mexico's Saul Roman (46-16, 38 KOs). The three judges scored the fight 78-73, 77-74, 77-74.
LaManna, a 2011 Millville graduate, has not fought in the resort since 2018, but his last fight was in August 2021, which was the longest he went without fighting, LaManna said. On Saturday, he said he had some "ring rust," but was able to shake some of that off as the fight unfolded.
"I keep saying it, but I'm just glad to be back," said LaManna, who thought he would never fight again after he suffered a loss in the World Boxing Association middleweight title bout in May 2021. "After that, it took a lot. That's why I give myself a C, maybe a B, on the performance.
"I also knew I had more skill than (Roman), it just came down to me believing in myself and putting it together," said LaManna, who lost 60-plus pounds and has not gone eight rounds in a long time. "I felt good going up to eight rounds."
After Figueroa won, he did a planned celebration — the worm. The 23-year-old had done the celebration when he fought at the amateur level. Then Figueroa motioned to his home crowd.
Figueroa is a member of the Atlantic City Beach Patrol.
"I’ve seen guys do the backflip and stuff. But I’ve never seen a guy do the worm as good as I do,” said Figueroa, who last fought in December 2021 but took time off to "get things right outside (the ring) and sharpen up my mindset."
When the fight started, Figueroa admitted Smith "was better than I thought." But this fight was the first time he wore smaller gloves and no headgear, he said. (A fighter wears headgear at the amateur level.)
"My feet were too quick. He couldn’t catch me," said Figueroa, who did not know how long the fight would last but he did know "it would not go the distance. The first couple punches I threw, he went down."
Added Figueroa in excitement, "It was that easy? It was that easy?"
There were a lot of supporters for Figueroa.
“I love Atlantic City. You can call me Mr. Atlantic City,” Figueroa said. “ The crowd was great. … The crowd's energy really boosted me up like crazy. I can’t believe my energy. I felt superior in there.”
Figueroa trains in the resort and runs on the Boardwalk everyday.
“I feel like I’m in a dream right now,” he added.
Millville-based company Rising Star Promotions, along with Atlantic City Sports Commission, staged the event. LaManna runs Rising Star, which has promoted cards since 2015.
LaManna is scheduled to fight for a WBA Regional title in Colombia in two weeks. He plans to be at 160 pounds for that fight. On Saturday, he was 170. He said Saturday's fight helped prepare him, and he will get back to training this week.
"All in all, I feel good," he said. "I'm happy to be back and put on another event. … I just need to find myself again. This is what I needed."

ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. — A 28-year-old man's body was found in Boca Ciega Bay in the St. Pete Beach area at around 6 a.m. Sunday, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
Deputies say they first received a report of Jackson Philip Christman missing around 9:53 p.m. Saturday.
Christman left his home on Friday in his 13-foot Carolina Skiff boat and did not show up for plans the next day, according to detectives.
Authorities then found his body about 30 feet from the shore in Boca Ciega Bay and about 50 feet from his boat on Sunday.
The 28-year-old was reportedly not wearing a life preserver.
Detectives say they were able to determine that Christman crashed into a pillion in the water and was thrown from the boat, likely causing him to hit his head on the pillion. The boat was kept in gear at the shoreline until it ran out of gas, the news release mentioned.
The sheriff's office says the investigation remains ongoing. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/jackson-philip-christman-body-found-st-pete-beach-boat-crash-boca-ciega-bay/67-01417462-4662-4752-b29d-0adcada8463a | 2022-08-21T23:27:36 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/jackson-philip-christman-body-found-st-pete-beach-boat-crash-boca-ciega-bay/67-01417462-4662-4752-b29d-0adcada8463a |
Originally published Aug. 18 on IdahoCapitalSun.com.
As more people migrate to Idaho, counties like Ada and Kootenai are seeing the effects of the rising population on the areas’ already diminishing water sources. Whether water is coming from groundwater sources like aquifers or surface water sources like rivers and reservoirs, local officials say Idaho’s water is being used faster than it can be replenished.
In 2015, Idaho had the highest water usage per person in the nation with an average of 184 gallons of water being used a day, according to a report from the U.S. Geological Survey. While 1.6% of Idaho’s water withdrawals were used for public supply and domestic water, meaning water used in and out of a home, as well as any water withdrawn for the public water system, nearly all of Idaho’s water is used for agricultural irrigation.
Of the water being used for domestic and public supply in 2015, 89% was pulled from groundwater sources. Springs, wells and aquifers are what fuels the water supply in Idaho’s homes. However, more homes are being built in Idaho as the population booms in areas like the Treasure Valley and around Coeur d’Alene Lake.
Ada and Kootenai counties are among the fastest growing counties in the state since 2010, with Ada County’s population increasing by nearly a third and Kootenai County close behind with a 29% population increase. Teton County is the fastest growing county in the state with a 34% population increase since 2010. While Teton County’s population is significantly lower than Ada’s and Kootenai’s, the growth rate exceeds those areas.
All three counties are experiencing a shortage of water, even in Teton County where there are 27 people per square mile, compared to Ada’s 447 and Kootenai’s 131 people per square mile. According to the Teton Water Users Association’s website, less snowpack, higher demand and irrigation are the top reasons for the continuing decline of Idaho’s aquifers.
Wells in quickly expanding areas are running dry
All three counties are facing water accessibility issues, whether that be wells going dry because the water table has diminished or water rights being passed to private owners.
Stan Ridgeway, former mayor of Eagle, said people in his subdivision are having to pay tens of thousands to drill new wells because theirs had dried up.
“My neighbor here, who had their well drilled last year, told me that the estimate to have that well drilled was $20,000,” Ridgeway said. “I don’t know if they spent that much for it but, with supply and demand and all of the building and things that are going on, it was just outrageous.”
A neighborhood in southwest Boise has pushed for local officials to stop developing land historically used for agriculture as a way to help prevent the more shallow wells from drying up, according to reporting from CBS 2 IdahoNews. Data from the Department of Water Resources shows the water levels in the aquifer system in southwest Boise drop about a foot every year.
Other solutions include using deeper community wells instead of a private well for each individual property, or paying the tens of thousands of dollars it would take to either drill a deeper well or hook up to city water.
Kootenai County Commissioner Chris Fillios said wells in an area of his community south of Coeur d’Alene, called Cougar Gulch, have been drying up, too. In response to dry wells and the approval of a small subdivision nearby after public opposition, the representatives of the Cougar Gulch subdivision are trying to raise the minimum lot size from two acres to five acres.
This could accomplish a couple of goals, according to Fillios. One solution could be one individual owning more land and water rights, and another solution could be limiting the population of new neighborhoods without significantly impacting and decreasing growth, he said.
Fillios said he has two wells on his 10-acre property: a private well and a community well that supplies water for up to seven other lots.
He said for a developer to receive a building permit for the Cougar Gulch area, the Kootenai County Land Use and Development Code requires the developer to prove the well can run five gallons of water per minute for four consecutive hours.
“The situation in Kootenai County has quite a bit to do with whether or not a particular property or area is over the aquifer,” Fillios said. “If properties are over the aquifer, which extends into Washington, usually those wells, and especially since many are situated on five acre minimum lot sizes, are generally OK. When you get outside of that sphere, it’s a different situation.”
Conserving water could mean getting rid of grass lawns
Idahoans may need to begin looking at other measures to take to protect the water supply.
For example, many homeowners associations have requirements to keep neighborhoods aesthetically similar, and grass lawns are part of that, but keeping that fresh, green look means wasted water, according to Ridgeway.
He said that when agricultural land is turned into new subdivisions, the water rights purchased along with that land are used to install ponds that feed the neighborhoods’ sprinkler systems.
“They’re all required to put in sprinklers to water their lawn, and they get the water from those ponds,” Ridgeway said. “But 10 years ago, before that subdivision was built, it was a farmer’s field. All of the irrigation that went in there was flood irrigation, and it eventually went back into the aquifer. With sprinklers, it never makes it back to the aquifer because it’s just putting (out) enough water to water your lawn and your trees.”
Miranda Gold, a former Eagle City Council member, agreed with Ridgeway, saying she believed the amount of water being used for landscaping was having an impact on the area’s water security. Ridgeway said many people in Eagle, if they are able to, are switching out their grass for species that are native to the arid high desert habitat in the Treasure Valley. The switch, often called xeriscaping, allows for customized landscaping without requiring so much water.
In 2008, the city of Moscow established its Wisescape Concepts program to encourage water conservation through landscaping specifically for the Palouse. Latah County also relies on aquifers to support its growing population, but they aren’t recharging swiftly enough, according to Moscow Public Works and Services.
The concepts used in xeriscaping still allow for an aesthetically pleasing environment, but it also helps to create biodiversity, save on water, reduce someone’s carbon footprint and saves time on yard maintenance, according to the city of Moscow’s website.
“We like to use a lot of water here,” Gold said. “Especially in areas like Star and Eagle that are growing quite a lot. They want low density housing and big lawns and lots of nice landscaping and things like that. That takes a lot of water because that’s not our area’s natural landscape.” | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/exploding-population-boom-in-idaho-is-affecting-domestic-water-supply/article_a800e85c-7276-598c-8bd4-1c772a819e8e.html | 2022-08-21T23:30:27 | 0 | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/exploding-population-boom-in-idaho-is-affecting-domestic-water-supply/article_a800e85c-7276-598c-8bd4-1c772a819e8e.html |
DEL RIO, Texas — A Corpus Christi attorney is back home after spending six days behind bars. He was arrested Aug. 13 near the border in Del Rio with four migrants in his rental car.
Attorney Timothy Dan Japhet said he was cited on four cases of human smuggling but has not been indicted or formally charged. He was released Friday after posting a $40,000 bail bond.
"I'm out on bond until they indict me," Japhet told 3NEWS. He added he does not think they will ever indict him and thinks the case will eventually get dropped.
News of the arrest went viral on Saturday when a constable from Galveston posted about it on Facebook to congratulate his deputies. They were in Del Rio as part of Operation Lone Star, the task force that Gov. Greg Abbott created to combat illegal immigration.
Japhet was arrested while wearing an orange Corpus Christi Hooks jersey.
Japhet said he was actually heading to an Eagle Pass casino and had his dog with him. He said he mistakenly agreed to give some hitchhikers a ride, got nervous about his decision and then tried to get pulled over.
He said a man approached him when he had stopped to let his dog use the bathroom. The man asked if Japhet would give him and his friend a ride. Japhet said yes, but then two more people suddenly appeared. Japhet said he protested but felt pressured to take them.
"I thought, this is not looking good for me right now," Japhet said. "I made a bad decision."
Japhet said he tried to drive fast to get the attention of law enforcement.
"There were cops every turn. There was DPS, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, city, county..."
Japhet says deputies working with the Department of Public Safety stopped him initially and then Border Patrol showed up. He said he allowed Border Patrol to search his phone, look at his apps, and read his text messages and call log.
He thought they were going to let him go -- until the tow truck showed up.
A 'federally appointed immigration magistrate?'
Japhet said Galveston County Constable Jimmy Fullen got two things wrong in his viral Facebook post. Japhet said he was not cited for resisting arrest and that he is not a "federally appointed immigration magistrate."
He said the only immigration law he practices is property-based when someone owns property in Mexico.
3NEWS was not able to independently confirm Japhet's charges, but both Fullen and Japhet agree he was arrested for human smuggling. Japhet says it was four counts of human smuggling since there were four people in his car. He said it's a third-degree felony.
Attorney has not gotten his car or dog back
Japhet said when he was locked up for six days, his dog was also taken away. Japhet still has not gotten his animal or his rental car back, although he hopes to possibly get his dog back on Monday.
"I'm missing my dog terribly. I'll go back to Del Rio, I'll get a car and go back [Monday] and get my dog. And find out how much it's going to cost me." | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/bad-decision-corpus-christi-attorney-arrested-for-human-smuggling-says-he-gave-ride-to-hitchhikers/503-ea5ad239-01d5-4384-a3f6-c2b0f1722df5 | 2022-08-21T23:35:08 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/bad-decision-corpus-christi-attorney-arrested-for-human-smuggling-says-he-gave-ride-to-hitchhikers/503-ea5ad239-01d5-4384-a3f6-c2b0f1722df5 |
LAKE WORTH, Texas — Police in Lake Worth need help identifying a suspect who stole a delivery driver's vehicle, which had the driver's four children inside.
Police said a delivery driver was picking up a food order around the area of Boat Club Road and Rocky Point Trail on Friday when an unknown suspect stole the driver's vehicle.
The suspect, however, quickly abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, police said. The driver's four children who were inside were unharmed, according to police.
Police released surveillance video of the suspect running through a parking lot.
The suspect is described as a man with tattoos on his arms and a goatee. He was seen running north on Boat Club Road.

AUSTIN, Texas — A report from the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office found drug overdoses are the number one cause of accidental death in our community.
To shed some light on this issue, three Austin mothers organized a walk on Sunday to educate the public and raise awareness of the rising number of fentanyl overdose deaths.
"Our goal is to save one life," said Carilu Bell, one of the organizers who also lost her son to fentanyl.
Bell said her son died back in October. He was 44 years old.
"My heart breaks even more for the mothers that are losing their teenagers and their young children that really haven't had a chance to live life," she said.
Fentanyl is often added to other drugs because of its extreme potency, which makes drugs cheaper, more powerful, more addictive, and more dangerous, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Stephanie Turner, who also lost her 19-year-old son, said fentanyl overdose is the number one cause of death for 18 to 45-year-olds.
"It's being added to all drugs," she said. "I think it's really important that people understand the dangers of it."
Many times people don't know the drugs they're buying are laced with fentanyl, and the CDC said it is nearly impossible to tell if drugs have been laced with these opioids unless tested with fentanyl test strips.
"The mass production of it is unreal," said Becky Stewart, who also lost her son to this opioid. "It's super, super cheap and highly addictive. And our son's deaths were nothing more than them doing business for these dealers."
Earlier this year, Travis County and the City of Austin declared fentanyl a public health crisis, putting more resources toward stopping overdose deaths. Part of that includes expanding access to harm reduction supplies and Narcan, the nasal spray that can reverse symptoms of a possible overdose.
In an effort to reduce overdose deaths, the NICE Project set up the City's first Narcan vending machine. The Narcan is free and the vending machine can be found at Sunrise Navigation Center near Ben White Boulevard and Menchaca Road.

GARY — Leon Wolek hopes to create on 9/11 the most patriotic national park in the country.
"The goal is we can never do enough. Our goal is to take it to the next level with even more patriotism," Wolek said.
Wolek, the founder of Leon's Triathlon, is partnering for the second year in a row with the National Park Service to hold Leon's Heroes Obstacle Course Race on Sept. 11.
Leon's American Race Series, including the one held on June 5 in Hammond, supports the U.S. military, veterans, injured veterans, first responders and law enforcement.
"Never give up honor, respect, or patriotism. ... We want people to understand in a humble way that this is about America and maybe support it by being there or taking part," Wolek said.
The obstacle-course race he is holding is part of a national recognition of the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The event, which starts with opening ceremonies at 9:30 a.m. and continues with the 10 a.m. race, will be held at the Indiana Dunes West Beach, 376 N. County Line Road.
Included in the opening ceremony will be some 300 motorcycle riders sponsored by the Indiana Fallen Heroes, president Paul Rosenwinkel said.
The motorcyclists, who will meet first at Mission Barbeque on U.S. 30 in Hobart, will be riding 90 miles and making stops along the way to honor the Sapper Six.
The Sapper Six were members of the Indiana National Guard 713th Combat Engineering company in Valparaiso who were killed in two separate incidents in Afghanistan, Rosenwinkel said.
"It was the largest amount of casualties from one guard," Rosenwinkel said.
Also to be part of the opening ceremony will be the presentation of a number of law enforcement and military K-9 dogs including military working dog, Jimi, with his handler, Sgt. Ryan Early of the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office Special Operations Bureau in Columbus, Georgia, Wolek said.
Jimi served in the United States Special Forces Group in Afghanistan and was retired in 2018 due to combat trauma then reassigned to the Muscogee County Sheriff's office.
The dogs, with their handlers, will lead the way taking part in the obstacle course that is conducive to their abilities.
"They will pave the way," Wolek said.
The 5K and 10K championship races for human participants will feature obstacles and various scenarios representing numerous American conflicts, Wolek said.
American flags, including large ones mounted on scaffolds, will be set up at both the beginning and end of the race.
Race participants will fight their way through the forests of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
They will crawl through the trenches of WWI and negotiate the obstacles of Normandy Beach.
Participants will also go on patrol in Vietnam; run up sand dunes in the Middle East and climb the stairs of the Twin Towers.
"We want to make sure American history is never forgotten and that the people who fought for America are not forgotten," Wolek said.
Wolek is encouraging people wanting to sign up for the race to register now because the number of participants will be limited.
New this year will be a free event for those who own a Jeep and want to be part of a Jeep Club event with other Jeep owners.
"The only thing we are asking is that Jeep participants fill out a registration form and print it out. ... Just bring your patriotism," Wolek said.
Leon's Triathlon was started nearly 40 years ago by Wolek, a New Chicago native.
His first triathlon was held in 1983 in Hobart and later moved to the Wolf Lake Memorial Park location in Hammond.
The inaugural USA Triathlon Military and First Responders National Championships was held on June 6, 2021 on the 77th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy, at Wolf Lake Memorial Park.
Leon's Triathlon partners with a variety of other local, state and national initiatives and organizations throughout the year to recognize and give back to military and first responders.

FORECAST OVERVIEW:
FORECAST OVERVIEW: A rather active and somewhat difficult to forecast pattern is shaping up across the state of Alabama for the majority of this week. Tropical moisture from the un-named tropical wave that moved onshore in Texas will push eastward this week across the Southeast. Models differ on the organization of this system as it moves eastward, but regardless, deep tropical moisture will move into Alabama through this week. That, coupled with a stubborn front that stalls across the state and an upper-level pattern that supports lift, will mean a heavy rain threat could pose a flooding risk for parts of the state this week. Storms could drop over 6″ of rain on some communities in Central Alabama over the next 7 days, and that could lead to some flash flooding concerns. Highest rainfall totals this week are likely to be focused along and west of I-65, but any one spot could deal with a stalled storm that produces flash flooding this week. Some of the best rising motion exits the state Friday into the weekend, but lingering tropical moisture means scattered heavy storms will remain in the forecast for the foreseeable future.
TONIGHT: Scattered showers and storms likely before midnight, then a few lingering scattered showers and storms possible after midnight. Lows in the upper 60s and low 70s.
MONDAY: A few waves of scattered, heavy downpours will move through Monday. Rain is possible at all hours of the day and evening. Rain may be heavy at times. Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s.
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY: The stormy pattern continues through mid-week as tropical moisture combined with lift in the upper levels of the atmosphere supports much heavier than normal rainfall. Storms will be capable of some gusty winds, but the heavy rain threat remains the largest concern, with some spots potentially seeing 6″ of rain over the next 7 days.
This could lead to some flash flooding concerns, particularly in spots that have poor drainage or are typically flood-prone. The excessive rain and cloud cover will keep temperatures below average through the week, with highs only reaching the low 80s Tuesday through Thursday.
FRIDAY & THE WEEKEND: While it may not be quite as widespread, scattered storms will remain in the forecast for the end of the week. Because it won’t be quite as rainy, temperatures are forecast to climb back into the upper 80s, but passing downpours could still produce locally heavy rain through the end of the week.

Being a mountain biker on Coach John Urkuski’s team is fun. The members are motivating and the atmosphere is light. It's part of what makes the Eagles so successful.
If there’s one thing talking with the fourth-year head coach will tell you, it’s that the Flagstaff Eagles mountain biking team has a blast day in and day out.
During its three-days-per-week practices, the team often plays a game called “Footdown.” Bikers line up in a circle and begin pedaling clockwise. Anyone who lifts their foot off the pedal and onto the dirt is out. The cycling gets faster and the circle gets smaller. The last person to keep their foot off the ground wins the game. It’s an activity that teaches balance while pedaling in tight spaces.
The game is just one example of how the team keeps things light. The group works on skills and practice with high intensity, but they never stray away from the fun, upbeat atmosphere that athletics are supposed to have.
People are also reading…
The team is successful, too. Last fall, the Eagles earned their first ever state championship trophy while going undefeated in the season’s races. This year, the team has a record 42 members.
Both the large size of the team and its success can be equated to Urkuski’s relaxed style of coaching. He doesn’t place expectations on members, as he’d rather them go out to practice everyday and simply have fun.
“I just want them to come out and do the best they can every practice,” he said. “They keep it fun and give it their all.”
Each day, the team works on skills such as uphill inclines or downhill coasting for about 30-45 minutes. Then, the rest of the practice is for cooldown, games, and working on individual skills.
There’s plenty of aspects of the team that stand out. For one thing, the team’s staff is made up of about 12 regular coaches, meaning there is plenty of coaching available for each athlete.
Secondly, Urkuski says that 28% of the roster is female.
“The league average is around 20%,” Urkuski said. “So we're really excited about being above the average.”
Urkuski said he and the coaches purposely try to recruit female athletes by employing female coaches and reaching out to students during the offseason. Urkuski says the effort is a push for inclusivity and diversity.
The team doesn’t have tryouts and accepts anyone, regardless of skill level or experience. They can even join and practice if they don't want to race.
If students have conflicts that interfere with either a practice or a race, Urkuski doesn’t mind.
“We don't stress about it. Most of these kids are out riding on the weekends where they get their time on the bike anyways, so we don't put a lot of pressure on it,” Urkuski said.
During the offseason, Urkuski encourages riders to actually lay down their bikes for a while and focus on something else.
“Hiking, snowboarding, cross country skiing or hitting baseballs at a batting cage. Just mix it up," he said.
The team started practice back in early July for the upcoming season. The team’s first meet takes place on Sept. 10 at Fort Tuthill, with 79 high schools planning to attend the event. The season will consist of five meets across the fall.
Goals are not so tangible for the team, looking for specific results. He doesn’t expect a repeat of last year’s State Championship, and he doesn’t want his riders to expect a trophy out of themselves. He just wants riders to put in effort at every practice and to stay positive.
Being a rider himself for over 20 years, Urkuski understands what biking means to him, and therefore has inspiration to coach.
“One thing about biking and cycling in general is that it’s something they can do for a lifetime.” Urkuski said.
This season, the team is planning to donate 10% of the money it raises to the SiiHasin Bike Program located in Indian Wells. Urkuski also has his sights set on winning the league’s annual raffle, which would earn the team a customizable Strike Visuals tent. Fittingly, if the team wins, Urkuski would give the tent to the SiiHasin program.
Last year, Urkuski donated more than $400 to SiiHasin, which helped fund a trip to Sierra Vista for the State Championship race.
As the season quickly approaches, Urkuski looks forward to another season under the helm of the team. He believes in biking being more than just a sport.
“It's about building community and building relationships,” he said. “If there’s one thing I'm really proud of it’s that these kids have made friends all over the state.”
“It takes a village -- the kids, the coaches, the parents -- I can't do it without them,” he added. “Everybody has really come together to support this team and it's been amazing the last couple of years.” | https://azdailysun.com/sports/local/eagles-mountain-biking-prepares-for-fall-season/article_be3671de-20b5-11ed-8773-1beb33354b72.html | 2022-08-22T00:04:20 | 0 | https://azdailysun.com/sports/local/eagles-mountain-biking-prepares-for-fall-season/article_be3671de-20b5-11ed-8773-1beb33354b72.html |
SPRINGDALE, Utah — Authorities have been searching for days for an Arizona woman reported missing after being swept away by floodwaters in Utah’s Zion National Park as strong seasonal rain storms hit parts of the U.S. Southwest.
National Park Service officials said rangers and members of the Zion Search and Rescue Team were in the Virgin River area Sunday looking for Jetal Agnihotri, 29, of Tucson.
They said Agnihotri was among several hikers who were swept off their feet Friday afternoon by rushing water in the popular Narrows area in the park, known for its spectacular red-rock cliffs and narrow canyons, in southern Utah near the Arizona border.
All of the hikers except Agnihotri were found on high ground and were stranded until water levels receded.

Rain can turn hiking in the park deadly when the moisture runs off the desert landscape and quickly fills canyons with water, rocks and debris, especially during the summer when seasonal afternoon thunderstorms develop. The storms can lead to flooding in normally dry washes and in areas stripped of vegetation by wildfires that have plagued the drought-stricken region.

Drought, wildfires, heat and monsoon storms: Arizona has seen its fair share of severe weather. Learn everything you need to know about the Grand Canyon State's ever-changing forecasts here:
Flooding Safety:
The Arizona Fire & Medical Authority has provided the following tips on what hazards to watch out for during and after a flood, including fire, electrical and chemical safety:
Generators and alternative heating devices can create fire hazards during flooding if they aren’t used correctly or maintained properly. Pools of water and appliances can become electrically charged and can cause electrical fires.
On electricity, residents in flooded areas should turn off the power to their homes if they can reach the main breaker or fuse box. All wiring in the house may be electrically charged and hazardous. Residents should have a professional technician check their home for damages before turning on the power.
Make sure potentially combustible liquids like paint thinner, lighter fluid or gasoline haven’t spilled within or near your home. Keep combustible liquids away from electrical or alternative heat sources as to not start a fire.
All smoke alarms in the home should be tested monthly and batteries should be replaced yearly. Some smoke alarms are dependent on your home’s electrical service and may go out when power is turned off.
Make sure the fire hydrant near your home is cleared of debris so the fire department can assess it easily in the event of a fire. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/arizona-hiker-missing-in-utah-flooding-monsoon-weather-august-2022/75-c51de303-40fc-4dcb-b056-58b7eee7de67 | 2022-08-22T00:06:30 | 0 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/arizona-hiker-missing-in-utah-flooding-monsoon-weather-august-2022/75-c51de303-40fc-4dcb-b056-58b7eee7de67 |
DEL RIO, Texas — A Corpus Christi attorney is back home after spending six days behind bars. He was arrested Aug. 13 near the border in Del Rio with four migrants in his rental car.
Attorney Timothy Dan Japhet said he was cited on four cases of human smuggling but has not been indicted or formally charged. He was released Friday after posting a $40,000 bail bond.
"I'm out on bond until they indict me," Japhet told 3NEWS. He added he does not think they will ever indict him and thinks the case will eventually get dropped.
News of the arrest went viral on Saturday when a constable from Galveston posted about it on Facebook to congratulate his deputies. They were in Del Rio as part of Operation Lone Star, the task force that Gov. Greg Abbott created to combat illegal immigration.
Japhet was arrested while wearing an orange Corpus Christi Hooks jersey.
Japhet said he was actually heading to an Eagle Pass casino and had his dog with him. He said he mistakenly agreed to give some hitchhikers a ride, got nervous about his decision and then tried to get pulled over.
He said a man approached him when he had stopped to let his dog use the bathroom. The man asked if Japhet would give him and his friend a ride. Japhet said yes, but then two more people suddenly appeared. Japhet said he protested but felt pressured to take them.
"I thought, this is not looking good for me right now," Japhet said. "I made a bad decision."
Japhet said he tried to drive fast to get the attention of law enforcement.
"There were cops every turn. There was DPS, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, city, county..."
Japhet says deputies working with the Department of Public Safety stopped him initially and then Border Patrol showed up. He said he allowed Border Patrol to search his phone, look at his apps, and read his text messages and call log.
He thought they were going to let him go -- until the tow truck showed up.
A 'federally appointed immigration magistrate?'
Japhet said Galveston County Constable Jimmy Fullen got two things wrong in his viral Facebook post. Japhet said he was not cited for resisting arrest and that he is not a "federally appointed immigration magistrate."
He said the only immigration law he practices is property-based when someone owns property in Mexico.
3NEWS was not able to independently confirm Japhet's charges, but both Fullen and Japhet agree he was arrested for human smuggling. Japhet says it was four counts of human smuggling since there were four people in his car. He said it's a third-degree felony.
Attorney has not gotten his car or dog back
Japhet said when he was locked up for six days, his dog was also taken away. Japhet still has not gotten his animal or his rental car back, although he hopes to possibly get his dog back on Monday.
"I'm missing my dog terribly. I'll go back to Del Rio, I'll get a car and go back [Monday] and get my dog. And find out how much it's going to cost me." | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/bad-decision-corpus-christi-attorney-arrested-for-human-smuggling-says-he-gave-ride-to-hitchhikers/503-ea5ad239-01d5-4384-a3f6-c2b0f1722df5 | 2022-08-22T00:06:36 | 0 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/bad-decision-corpus-christi-attorney-arrested-for-human-smuggling-says-he-gave-ride-to-hitchhikers/503-ea5ad239-01d5-4384-a3f6-c2b0f1722df5 |
TRUCKEE, Calif. — A specialty search and recovery team announced Sunday that they found a body during a search in Nevada County.
According to Adventures with Purpose, the body of Kiely Rodni was found along with a car upside down in 14 feet of water, and they said they have notified the family about the discovery. The search and recovery team said they have been searching the waters around the Prosser Family Campground after she vanished. However, the Placer County Sheriff's Office has not confirmed any update regarding the search for Rodni at this time.
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office said they were aware of the update from Adventures with Purpose and have staff on the way to meet up with them. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
Rodni vanished after attending a party near the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee and was last seen around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Officials said her phone is out of service, and her 2013 Honda CRV with license plate "8YUR127" cannot be found.
Despite Rodni having been at a party of up to 300 people, deputies said there have been few clues for investigators to follow.
Rodni is a 16-year-old who stands at 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs around 115 pounds with blonde hair and hazel eyes. Anyone with knowledge of her disappearance is asked to call the anonymous tip line at 530-581-6320 and press option 7.

Bags of antisemitic literature were thrown onto properties throughout a Jersey Shore town, police said.
The culprit spread the bags in in Brigantine in the overnight hours, the Brigantine Police Department said on Facebook Sunday morning.
“The literature does not contain any threats, but it is consistent with anti-Semitic flyers that news outlets have reported as having been distributed in similar manners throughout the United States in recent weeks,” the BPD said. “It appears that these flyers are being randomly distributed publicly and are not targeting any specific residences or businesses.”
The department declined to show the flyers, but the relative of someone staying in Brigantine sent photos of the literature to NBC10, saying they were left on cars. They contained several antisemitic tropes, including references to the country and the media being controlled by Jews.
The BPD said it was investigating the incident as a bias crime and asked that anyone with surveillance video that could help track down the perpetrators contact the department at 609-266-7414. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/antisemitic-flyers-distributed-in-jersey-shore-town/3341310/ | 2022-08-22T00:14:56 | 1 | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/antisemitic-flyers-distributed-in-jersey-shore-town/3341310/ |

QUESTION: I’ve started a small business, and things seem to be going well. My accountant gives me P&Ls each month, but I don’t really understand how to read them. Do you have any tips?
ANSWER: Yes, we can give you a few basic tips to help you understand P&Ls.
All P&Ls are based on a very simple formula, Sales minus Costs equals Profit. It really is that simple. Everything else is a matter of breaking out sales or cost into more detail and adding subtotals. Sales are typically shown at the top of the P&L. Costs are shown below Sales and Profit is at the bottom. You may see a number of subtotals as you look down the column, but it is still Sales minus Costs equals Profit.
Unfortunately, we sometimes use different words for Sales, Costs and Profit. This can make accounting seem more difficult than it really is.
People are also reading…
For example, Sales can also be called Revenue or Income. Costs may be called Expenses, and Profit may be referred to as Net Income.
In fact, the P&L itself (technically a Profit and Loss Statement) can also be called an Income Statement. All of these AKAs can be confusing, but don’t let it throw you.
Your company’s Sales may be broken into several different sources. For example, the Sales of a restaurant may come from customers who dine in, customers who take out and from catering. Such a business may choose to break Sales into those three pieces. Typically, these three components would be added together in a line called Total Sales.
Similarly, Costs are usually broken into various components. For example, you may see Material Costs, Labor Costs and Overhead broken out separately. There are an infinite number of ways to break out costs, but once you get below the Total Sales line, everything else you see is a cost, broken out in one way or another.
One of the most useful ways to subdivide costs is into those costs that are directly associated with delivering your product or service and those that are not. Consider a company that makes and sells different types of widgets. It will have the cost of the components used to make the widgets, the cost of the workers who assemble the widgets, and the costs of the production facility.
These costs are referred to as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) because they can be tied directly to the production of widgets. If you sell more widgets, these costs will go up. If you sell fewer widgets, these costs will go down.
In a service business, this is called the Cost of Service (COS). For example, a lawn maintenance service would include the cost of the employees who do the work, fuel costs and the cost of other supplies such as fertilizer and grass seed in its Cost of Service.
Sales minus COGS is known as Gross Profit (or Gross Margin). This is the money the business earns after the cost of delivering its product and/or services. It is also the money needed to cover the other costs associated with running the business and still generate a profit.
Other costs of the business are not associated directly with the production of widgets. Such costs might be the cost of the people who sell the widgets, the cost of the accountants who produce the P&Ls and even the president’s compensation (assuming he/she isn’t making the widgets). These costs are often referred to as Selling, General and Administrative costs (S,G&A).
With this addition, the P&L is now broken down into two parts Sales minus COGS equals Gross Profit, and Gross Profit minus Selling, General & Administrative (S,G&A, also known as overhead) equals Profit.
P&Ls are really quite straightforward (Sales minus Costs equals Profit). However, they can seem complex for two reasons: (1) the Sales and Costs can be broken down into many subcomponents with subtotals added, and (2) an item on the P&L can often be called by more than one name. Understanding P&Ls is essential to being able to successfully run your business. The tips above will help. | https://richmond.com/business/local/ask-doug-polly-reading-p-ls/article_ceacebd6-8799-515d-b228-545db1335936.html | 2022-08-22T00:17:19 | 1 | https://richmond.com/business/local/ask-doug-polly-reading-p-ls/article_ceacebd6-8799-515d-b228-545db1335936.html |
Mother Nature drenched Midland with more than 2 inches of rain in less than 24 hours Saturday and Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
The NWS office in Midland reported that 2.43 inches of rain fell at Midland International Airport between 6 p.m. Saturday and 4 a.m. Sunday. That total was record-breaking, more than the 1.72 inches that typically falls in August and just short of the rainfall that had fallen this year in Midland prior to Aug. 20.
The NWS reported that the 2.00 inches that fell on Saturday was a new record for Aug. 20. And extra 0.43 inch fell Sunday morning for the 10-hour total of 2.43 inches. The NWS reported that 2.8 inches had fallen in Midland this year prior to Saturday.
The NWS also is reporting a 50% chance of rainfall today and tonight, a 50% chance on Monday and 30% chance on Monday night and Tuesday. | https://www.mrt.com/news/local/article/NWS-More-than-2-inches-of-rain-falls-in-Midland-17388044.php | 2022-08-22T00:18:08 | 0 | https://www.mrt.com/news/local/article/NWS-More-than-2-inches-of-rain-falls-in-Midland-17388044.php |
State trooper crashes his vehicle, stops wrong-way driver
An Arizona state trooper collided his vehicle with a wrong-way driver Sunday morning on Loop 101 between Guadalupe and Baseline roads to bring the car to a stop.
At 4:35 a.m., Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers received reports of a wrong-way vehicle traveling eastbound on westbound Interstate 10 near Broadway Road in Tempe.
A trooper located a red Cadillac sedan traveling southbound on northbound Loop 101.
"The trooper intercepted and made the courageous decision to collide with the vehicle, successfully bringing it to a stop," said the Arizona Department of Public Safety in a statement.
The wrong-way driver is a 22-year-old man who is suspected of impairment. He sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital.
The state trooper also sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the collision and was transported to a hospital.
An investigation is ongoing.

ROANOKE, Va. – A fresh new look can boost your confidence and help you tackle the day. That’s why a Roanoke barbershop opens their doors to offer free back to school haircuts for kids.
Barbers turn on their razors and wipe off their seats at First Impressions as children lined up on Melrose Avenue to get a free haircut.
But with the music playing and food sizzling, a contagious vibe brought the community together.
For the past 23 years, George Harrington has not only cut hair but changed lives.
“When the kids see themselves with a nice cut they feel good,” he said.
He said when you step in you are not just a client, you are family.
“We are more than just me cutting your hair,” he said. “I might be your brother. Nine times out of 10 you will be best of friends.”
With every rinse or snip of hair, barbers and hair stylists spoke words of encouragement to the children.
A way to boost their confidence before they head back to school.
Growing up, Sheniqua Cunningham remembers the disappointment she felt when she couldn’t afford to go to the salon.
So, after laying down gel and braiding 8-year-old Amelia’s hair, Amelia’s glowing smile said it all.
“It makes my heart just go,” Cunningham said. “It means so much. I love it. I love seeing all the little girls look so pretty and happy when going back to school.” | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/21/roanoke-barbers-and-hairstylists-offer-free-haircuts-to-give-students-a-confidence-boost/ | 2022-08-22T00:44:59 | 0 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/21/roanoke-barbers-and-hairstylists-offer-free-haircuts-to-give-students-a-confidence-boost/ |
VINTON, Va. – More than a dozen food trucks lined up at Vinton War Memorial for the first Vinton Palooza.
Drinks, crafts and local bands helped set the energy for people to stretch out in the heart of Vinton.
Bouncy houses and yard games entertained children for hours.
The new event aims to put Vinton back on the map and boost the local economy.
“Get them back out and exposed to everybody,” Vinton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Angie Chewning said. “Get everybody back out in an environment where everyone can have fun.”
Chewning said fun will continue next week at the farmer’s market with Mingle at the Market. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/21/vinton-palooza-takes-sunday-funday-to-a-new-level/ | 2022-08-22T00:45:05 | 0 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/21/vinton-palooza-takes-sunday-funday-to-a-new-level/ |

A 70-year-old woman riding in a Ford Custom Roadster died Saturday in a two-vehicle crash near the Highway 22 E on-ramp and Gold Club Road SE, Oregon State Police said Sunday.
A preliminary investigation determined the roadster driven by Thomas Schmid, 70, of Aumsville, was southbound on Golf Club Road SE at about 11 a.m. Saturday and unable to stop from crashing into a Dodge Caravan that was westbound toward the on-ramp.
The roadster then rolled onto its side.
Passenger Arminta Schmid, 70, was pronounced deceased at the scene, OSP said. Thomas Schmid was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the van was not injured.
Oregon State Police was assisted by the Aumsville Fire Department, Santiam Medics, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Man drowns in first of two rip current rescues in Seaside
A man in his 50s died Saturday afternoon at Seaside in the first of two rip current rescues, Seaside Fire & Rescue said Sunday.
Rescue units received a call at 2:33 p.m. Saturday of a water rescue in progress on the beach from 6th Avenue. When they arrived, three Seaside lifeguards were in the water with two victims and multiple bystanders who were trying to assist.
Jet skis were used to assist the lifeguards in bringing everyone to the beach. Two people were taken to Providence Seaside Hospital for treatment and evaluation, the department said in a press release. A man in his 50s who was found unconscious in the water was declared dead after efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
Another water rescue occurred later in the day at the south end of Seaside’s beach off Avenue U. One of the rescued swimmers from the second incident, a 27-year-old female, told fire personnel that "they were in waist-deep water one minute and struggling in water over their heads the next," the release said
“We cannon stress the unpredictable dangers of the ocean enough,” said Genesee Dennis, Division Chief of Prevention for Seaside Fire & Rescue. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family for their tragic loss yesterday.”
The Seaside Police Department and Medix assisted Fire & Rescue on the initial call. Signs have been posted in the incident area advising of the immediate rip current danger. | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2022/08/21/man-die-rip-current-rescue-seaside-oregon/65412826007/ | 2022-08-22T00:46:33 | 0 | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/local/2022/08/21/man-die-rip-current-rescue-seaside-oregon/65412826007/ |
Salem woman charged with killing the father of her children at Woodmansee Park
Updated at 1 p.m. Sunday: This article has been updated to correct the spelling of the victim's last name
A 29-year-old Salem woman was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder in the death Saturday morning of her former partner during a custody argument in the parking lot of Woodmansee Park, Salem Police said Sunday.
Branda Myshelle Myers, 29, and Vince Edward Fouts, 38, also of Salem, were attempting to resolve a custody dispute when the argument escalated, police said in a release.
"Myers used her vehicle to run over Fouts several times," the release said. Witnesses directed officers responding to a report of a hit and run collision at about 9:15 a.m. to Fouts and Myers.
Myers was booked into the Marion County Jail on Saturday night and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon.
The police press release said Meyers and Fouts were former spouses. Fouts family members told the Statesman Journal the pair had never married.
Woodmansee Park was closed for about seven hours Saturday while detectives investigated. It reopened a little after 4 p.m.

A horror movie convention promoter says it is assisting authorities following charges against actor Gary Busey involving alleged sexual offenses at an event in New Jersey earlier this month.
Busey, 78, was charged Friday with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment following alleged actions Aug. 12-14 at the Monster Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel in the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill, police said Saturday.
Monster-Mania Convention said in a Facebook post that after attendees complained, an unspecified “celebrity guest was removed from the convention and instructed not to return."
“Monster-Mania also encouraged the attendees to contact the police to file a report," the company said, adding that behavior that compromised the safety and well-being of attendees would not be tolerated. “Monster-Mania will continue to assist the authorities in any and every way possible," it said.
“It was about contact. It was about touching,” Lt. Robert Scheunemann told The Philadelphia Inquirer of the muliple complaints police had received about Busey’s conduct.
Busey, who lives in Malibu, California, was scheduled as a featured guest for all three days of the event.
Police did not immediately respond to a message seeking details. It also wasn’t clear whether Busey has an attorney to comment on the charges, and a representative didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment Saturday.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Storms are making their way into the North Texas region on Sunday and will stick around until Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. They shared an outlook of the flooding threat and timing on its webpage:
“The flooding and heavy rain threat will be confined to areas along and north of I-20 throughout Sunday afternoon and evening. During the overnight hours into Monday, a system will move in from the west and allow the flooding and heavy rain threat to cover almost all of North and Central Texas. Over the course of Monday afternoon through Tuesday, the flooding and heavy rain threat will shift south and east into portions of East and Central Texas.”
The center also says that a Flood Watch is in effect in the region as rainfall amounts are expected to reach 2-5 inches with isolated areas seeing 8-plus inches possibly. Here’s what you need to know about the potential for flooding in North Texas:
“A Flood Watch is in effect along and north of I-20 through 12 PM on Monday. A second Flood Watch is in effect for our counties south of I-20 beginning 7 AM Monday through 7 PM Monday evening. The heaviest rain and greatest flood risk will occur Sunday night through Monday. Rain amounts of 2 to 5 inches are the most likely total at any one location, but isolated amounts of 8+ inches are possible. Everyone in the watch area should plan on plenty of extra time to travel, especially on Monday morning as the commute will be disrupted. Know your alternate routes should your normal roads be flooded, and never drive through flooded roads or barricades. If you’re in a location that has flooded in the past, monitor the weather and be prepared to move to higher ground.”
The center also shared an outlook of all the potential heavy rainfall the region will see early in the week.
“The flood risk early this week is significant across the red shaded area of North Texas with less potential farther south into Central Texas. In this weather pattern, the rain totals are going to vary widely from location to location. Most areas will get 2-5 inches but slow-moving storm clusters may dump 8+ inches in isolated areas over North and Central Texas during Sunday and/or Monday. It will be in those areas where flash flooding will be a serious concern. Thankfully, most locations will not see anywhere near that much rain, and just about everyone should see at least an inch of much-needed rain.” | https://cw33.com/news/local/north-texas-under-flood-watch-sunday-to-monday-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-incoming-storms/ | 2022-08-22T00:50:31 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/local/north-texas-under-flood-watch-sunday-to-monday-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-incoming-storms/ |
ATLANTIC CITY — The two most-anticipated fights Saturday were saved for last.
In the eight-bout Boardwalk Boxing: Rising Star Series card at a packed and energetic Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall’s Adrian Phillips Ballroom, Justin "Time" Figueroa earned a first-round knockout to win his professional boxing debut.
Figueroa (1-0), who is a 2017 Holy Spirit High School graduate a lifelong Atlantic City resident, threw some strong jabs and fast punches as Ohio's Tavaris Smith (0-6) quickly went to the floor.
The fight was over in 1 minute, 34 seconds.
"Before it started, there was so much anxiety going through my mind. I did not want to underestimate anybody," Figueroa said. "But I knew all the hard work I put in and all the sacrifices I made. And I put too much work into this to let this moment bypass me. So, I knew what time it was. It was Justin 'Time.' I got it in and I got the job done. That was it. Thank you to everyone who came out. Stand up, Atlantic City. We did it. Onto the next."

Millville's Thomas "Cornflake" LaManna (32-5-1, 13 KOs) won the main event with an eight-round unanimous decision over Mexico's Saul Roman (46-16, 38 KOs). The three judges scored the fight 78-73, 77-74, 77-74.
LaManna, a 2011 Millville graduate, has not fought in the resort since 2018, but his last fight was in August 2021, which was the longest he went without fighting, LaManna said. On Saturday, he said he had some "ring rust," but was able to shake some of that off as the fight unfolded.
"I keep saying it, but I'm just glad to be back," said LaManna, who thought he would never fight again after he suffered a loss in the World Boxing Association middleweight title bout in May 2021. "After that, it took a lot. That's why I give myself a C, maybe a B, on the performance.
"I also knew I had more skill than (Roman), it just came down to me believing in myself and putting it together," said LaManna, who lost 60-plus pounds and has not gone eight rounds in a long time. "I felt good going up to eight rounds."
After Figueroa won, he did a planned celebration — the worm. The 23-year-old had done the celebration when he fought at the amateur level. Then Figueroa motioned to his home crowd.
Figueroa is a member of the Atlantic City Beach Patrol.
"I’ve seen guys do the backflip and stuff. But I’ve never seen a guy do the worm as good as I do,” said Figueroa, who last fought in December 2021 but took time off to "get things right outside (the ring) and sharpen up my mindset."
When the fight started, Figueroa admitted Smith "was better than I thought." But this fight was the first time he wore smaller gloves and no headgear, he said. (A fighter wears headgear at the amateur level.)
"My feet were too quick. He couldn’t catch me," said Figueroa, who did not know how long the fight would last but he did know "it would not go the distance. The first couple punches I threw, he went down."
Added Figueroa in excitement, "It was that easy? It was that easy?"
There were a lot of supporters for Figueroa.
“I love Atlantic City. You can call me Mr. Atlantic City,” Figueroa said. “ The crowd was great. … The crowd's energy really boosted me up like crazy. I can’t believe my energy. I felt superior in there.”
Figueroa trains in the resort and runs on the Boardwalk everyday.
“I feel like I’m in a dream right now,” he added.
Millville-based company Rising Star Promotions, along with Atlantic City Sports Commission, staged the event. LaManna runs Rising Star, which has promoted cards since 2015.
LaManna is scheduled to fight for a WBA Regional title in Colombia in two weeks. He plans to be at 160 pounds for that fight. On Saturday, he was 170. He said Saturday's fight helped prepare him, and he will get back to training this week.
"All in all, I feel good," he said. "I'm happy to be back and put on another event. … I just need to find myself again. This is what I needed."

WOODSTOCK, Ga. — A Georgia jury has returned a $1.7 billion verdict against Ford Motor Co. involving a pickup truck crash that claimed the lives of a Georgia couple, their lawyers confirmed.
Jurors in Gwinnett County, just northeast of Atlanta, returned the verdict late last week in the yearslong civil case involving what the plaintiffs’ lawyers called dangerously defective roofs on Ford pickup trucks, lawyer James Butler Jr. said Sunday.
Melvin and Voncile Hill were killed in April 2014 in the rollover wreck of their 2002 Ford F-250. Their children Kim and Adam Hill were the plaintiffs in the wrongful death case.
“I used to buy Ford trucks,” Butler said on Sunday. “I thought nobody would sell a truck with a roof this weak. The damn thing is useless in a wreck. You might as well drive a convertible.”
Ford did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday. But in closing arguments, lawyers hired by the company defended the actions of Ford and its engineers.
The Michigan-based automaker sought to defend the company against accusations “that Ford and its engineers acted willfully and wantonly, with a conscious indifference for the safety of the people who ride in their cars when they made these decisions about roof strength,” defense lawyer William Withrow Jr. said in his closing arguments, according to a court transcript.
The allegation that Ford was irresponsible and willfully made decisions that put customers at risk is “simply not the case,” another defense lawyer, Paul Malek, said in the same closing argument.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs had submitted evidence of nearly 80 similar rollover wrecks that involved truck roofs being crushed that injured or killed motorist, Butler’s law firm, Butler Prather LLP, said in a statement.
“More deaths and severe injuries are certain because millions of these trucks are on the road,” Butler’s co-counsel, Gerald Davidson, said in the statement.
“An award of punitive damages to hopefully warn people riding around in the millions of those trucks Ford sold was the reason the Hill family insisted on a verdict,” Butler said. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/georgia-jury-awards-17-billion-in-ford-truck-crash-case/85-1bb236ac-2091-4c7d-b66c-3e16ade81fb1 | 2022-08-22T01:10:14 | 1 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/georgia-jury-awards-17-billion-in-ford-truck-crash-case/85-1bb236ac-2091-4c7d-b66c-3e16ade81fb1 |
INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD's Chief Communications Officer Alexa Greenberg sat down with IMPD Officer Thomas Mangan and his wife, Emory, to check in with them and see how they are doing. It's the first time we're hearing from Mangan since he was shot in the line of duty in Fountain Square on Feb. 27.
Mangan was critically injured in the shooting. According to IMPD, the gunshot caused significant damage to Mangan's laryngeal cartilage — commonly known as the "Adam's apple" — and voice box. At the time, IMPD said his injury could have made him unable to speak, swallow, or breathe normally again.
Mangan was released from the hospital on March 11. Since then he's slowly been regaining his strength and his voice.
In the interview he opened up about his health, faith and the incident that he and Emory say has changed their lives forever.
"Health-wise, [I'm] doing so much better than doctors even thought and each time we go and see them, we're reminded or when we have people with IMPD's teams, like mental health unit or others visit, they remind us how much change has occurred - how much improvement there is," Mangan said.
The past six months have been trying, he said.
"It hasn't been easy. The load has seemed very heavy at times but being able to have faith and have that load be lightened is, I believe, the only way that it is possible to make it through. Not only make it through, but grow stronger through it," he said.
Along the way, he's had his wife by his side.
"She was there for me every day and I wouldn't change that for anything. We've known a deeper love and known God's love more through all of the letters and phone calls and people stopping by," Mangan said.
The couple has received support from people across the country, sending letters to show their support.
"Just to read the kind words of people we don't even know and how they're praying for us and thinking of us, that support and encouragement was so uplifting," Emory said.
She said on their most challenging day, being able to end it with words of encouragement made a huge difference.
"We were still reeling with what had happened and grappling with the changes, not knowing what the future would hold in terms of Tommy's health and so to have that encouragement and those words was so meaningful," Emory said.
During his recovery, he said he's been thinking about the officers at IMPD who have offered him overwhelming support during this time.
"Every day when you put on your vest, you put your belt on, your holster, and are ready to take on the challenges of each day, you're not alone, you also have a community that is backing you up. Also, allow each other to bear your burdens and open up to them because I've learned by doing that that it all is worth it," Mangan said.
His road to recovery is far from over. This September, Mangan will undergo another surgery to revise the scar on his neck. He'll also continue his daily physical therapy and speech exercises.
"One day at a time," Mangan said, "being faithful in that and seeing how that healing goes. Getting back behind the wheel and letting us see what we're called to do and where we can be used best."
While it's not clear if Mangan will put his uniform back on, he and his wife are certain these challenges have made them stronger than ever before. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/impd-shares-update-on-officer-injured-in-february-shooting-officer-thomas-mangan/531-6ff1ddcd-ce49-4d9c-a4b3-34877262e439 | 2022-08-22T01:10:20 | 1 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/impd-shares-update-on-officer-injured-in-february-shooting-officer-thomas-mangan/531-6ff1ddcd-ce49-4d9c-a4b3-34877262e439 |
Metra is planning to convert as many as six of its diesel locomotives to battery power.
The Illinois commuter railroad’s board approved a contract last week with Progress Rail that includes a base order of three locomotives with options for three more at a total cost of $34.6 million for all six conversions, which will be performed in Patterson, Georgia.
The first three are expected to be completed in about 3½ years, according to the railroad.
“This procurement puts Metra on the cutting edge of battery-powered technology and demonstrates our commitment to innovation and cleaner energy,” Metra CEO/Executive Director Jim Derwinski said in a statement on the board’s action. “If these locomotives prove themselves, they could play a significant role in our fleet and in our future, and the concept could serve as a template for other railroads to follow.”

Metra plans to test the battery-powered locomotives on the Rock Island line, which runs from downtown Chicago to Joliet.
The locomotives will have an estimated range of 150 miles per charge. Charging stations will be placed in the main yard and at an outlying point, the railroad said.
In addition to reducing emissions, the battery-powered locomotives are expected to be less noisy and have lower operating costs and lower maintenance costs than diesel locomotives.
The railroad is requiring that the battery-powered locomotives provide a safe and comfortable ride at all speeds up to the maximum speed of 79 mph.

PORTAGE — A Portage man, who appears to have been driving at an excessive speed, died early Sunday after rolling a vehicle on the Willowcreek Road bypass, police say.
Portage police say they were called out at 2:30 a.m. and discovered a 2004 Jeep Liberty rolled over on its roof in the middle of the roadway. The driver, 39-year-old Felix Anselmo, was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The preliminary investigation shows the vehicle was northbound from the area of the toll-road entrance when it lost control entering into a right-hand curve at the south end of the bypass," police said.
"The vehicle crossed all lanes of travel before striking the guardrail on the west side of the roadway," according to police. "This collision resulted in the vehicle rolling onto its roof."
Police say Anselmo not wearing a seat belt. Toxicology test results are pending.

HOBART — City officials are examining options to potentially increase pay for firefighters and provide other benefits to entice more people to the department.
In July and so far in August, there have been 39 times in which a rig has been shut down because there weren’t sufficient staffing levels, he said. There also have been 13 times in which a station was shut down, and three times that two stations had to be shut down, he said.
“We’ve had eight people leave to go to other departments and we did exit interviews with them, and every single one of them said that pay and staffing was one of the main reasons that they left,” Degrauwe said.
He said the base pay for firefighters is $69,839 in Hammond, $67,467 in Crown Point and $63,421 in Portage.
“Ours is $59,396,” Degrauwe said.

He said he understands Hobart is working to hire more firefighters, but he’s unsure how attractive the job is when other departments offer higher pay.
“Since 2019, we’ve gotten a 2% raise,” Degrauwe said.
Mayor Brian Snedecor said Degrauwe has “valid points,” and the city is working on ways to become a more attractive destination for firefighters.
“We do want to be competitive in attracting good talent, just like the other communities around us,” Snedecor said. “We don’t want to lose good talent either.”
Snedecor said a city subcommittee reviewing firefighter pay will discuss the situation, but Hobart has financial limitations caused by the property tax appeal for the Southlake Mall.
“I know (employees) deserve more, but I also understand that we’re dealing with a $9 million situation with the mall where there is no money to pay that without having to go through a potential bond,” Snedecor said.
He said Hobart leaders have discussed the possibility of using American Rescue Plan funding for a one-time stipend for employees in 2023.
“There’s been talk about maybe $3,000 an employee,” he said.
Among other options the city is exploring is enhancing benefits for firefighters who transfer to Hobart from a different fire department.
“It may not just be a lump sum of money that we can offer as much as maybe there’s some creative packages that we can (offer to) transfers,” Snedecor said.
Snedecor also believes addressing the staffing issue could involve reviewing how the manpower is used in the city.
He believes there have been occasions in which too many firefighters are allowed to be off at a time. That can create staffing problems when other firefighters also aren’t working because they are on sick leave.
Degrauwe said firefighters don’t pick their time off weeks or a month in advance. Instead, they put in their vacation and time-off requests in December for all of the following year. | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/hobart/hobart-reviewing-firefighter-pay-benefits/article_04ecedc3-eae3-5709-88de-b03f0643d43f.html | 2022-08-22T01:21:32 | 0 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/hobart/hobart-reviewing-firefighter-pay-benefits/article_04ecedc3-eae3-5709-88de-b03f0643d43f.html |

Do you think you have a good handle on identifying trees by merely looking at their leaves? Do you know the difference between coniferous and deciduous, or can you tell the difference between pines, beeches, and dogwoods? If so, Stacker has put together a quiz for you. The quiz features 25 trees commonly found in the United States from forestry and landscaping sites.
Each clue slide comes with information about the texture, size, and color of the trees’ leaves, as well as where in the country they can be found. While some trees are evergreen, they can be distinguished by the hardness of their needles and whether they grow in groups or individually.
Many of the trees included in this quiz are valuable for lumber or as pulpwood. One tree is highly sought after by musical instrument makers for its durability and tonal quality. The bark of another tree is waterproof, making it a prime candidate for the building of canoes. Other trees are useful sources of food for birds and mammals, providing roosting and shelter in colder climates.
Tree location ranges throughout the country, and one tree type once accounted for nearly a quarter of all the trees in the Appalachian Mountains. However, diseases beginning in the 1800s have rendered it all but extinct.
Several state trees and one of the most massive trees in the country like the Boogerman, which extends 191 feet above the forest floor, are also featured in this quiz, as is a tree that is part of the largest living thing on Earth: a grove in Utah that spans over 100 acres and includes 50,000 trees from a single root system.
Read on to see if you have the tree chops to identify the leaves of these 25 trees.

Kerr County sheriff’s deputies have arrested a suspect charged in the fatal shooting of a Wisconsin man in April and are seeking his brother, also wanted for murder.
Gustavo Cantu, 39, and his brother, Alejandro Cantu, 31, were charged with murder in a drug-related killing in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on April 30, according to Kerr County authorities. Wisconsin news stations have identified the victim as Randall Denny, 34.
Gustavo Cantu was arrested Saturday during a traffic stop in the 100 block of Candlelite Drive in Ingram, according to a Kerr County release. Cantu has been charged with murder, jumping bail and possession of drugs. A passenger, Naomi Rose Cadotte, 33, also was taken into custody on a drug possession charge. Both are currently in the Kerr County jail.
A special response team searched a house where the brothers were reported to be staying, but the remaining suspect was not at the residence. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 165 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. “Cantu” is tattooed on his left forearm along with other tattoos.
Sheriff Larry Leitha said law enforcement teams were pleased to have Gustavo Cantu in custody to face the “justice system for his alleged crimes in Wisconsin.”
Anyone with information about Alejandro Cantu can call the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office at 830-8896-1216 or the Kerr County Crime Stoppers at 830-896-TIPS.

Crews work on stalled train blocking traffic along 10 Mile Road in Novi
Hayley Harding
The Detroit News
A train is blocking traffic Sunday along 10 Mile Road along a three-mile stretch in Novi, and it could be hours before it gets going, officials said.
Crews were working Sunday night to get the train moving, police said.
It was not immediately clear Sunday why the train was stopped. It had been halted for at least an hour as of 7 p.m. Sunday evening, officials said.
A police dispatcher said crews were working to get it moved "within the next few hours," although no estimate was given for when the road would be passable.
The train is stalled between Novi and Meadowbrook roads, WDIV reported Sunday.
Drivers were advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes. | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/08/21/stalled-train-blocking-traffic-10-mile-road-novi/7861936001/ | 2022-08-22T01:28:51 | 1 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/08/21/stalled-train-blocking-traffic-10-mile-road-novi/7861936001/ |
Angela Perkins is on a mission straight from the heart. She almost lost her life on July 9, 2013, when she went into cardiac arrest.
“I was at work in a meeting, just a routine meeting at work, and all of a sudden I collapsed and went into sudden cardiac arrest,” said Perkins.
Someone called 911 and before co-workers could perform CPR, Dallas Fire Rescue arrived within minutes.
“Over the next 20 minutes they continued CPR, and [shocked] me multiple times with an AED trying to get my heart started back,” said Perkins.
Dr. Ann Marie Navar, Associate Professor of Cardiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland, said people don’t always jump in because of concerns over inappropriate touching, injuring a person or COVID-19. Not enough people rush to help because of these fears, or simply not knowing how to perform CPR.
“It’s important for people to get training in bystander CPR because you learn where to put your hands to get adequate chest compressions, but proper training can also protect you in the event of another outbreak, like COVID-19 for example,” said Dr. Navar.
The North Texas division of the American Heart Association trained over 55,000 people in bystander CPR last year.
Local
The latest news from around North Texas.
“Start compressions as quickly as possible, and you want to do them hard and fast. We’re looking for between 100 and 120 compressions a minute,” said Dr. Navar.
Both Dr. Navar and Perkins will be at this year’s American Heart Association annual heart walk. It’s a full-circle journey for Perkins.
“This will be my ninth walk to participate in. My first heart walk was actually in 2013. Just six weeks after I got out of the hospital. I’d already planned to walk before my cardiac arrest, which is pretty neat,” said Perkins.
Dr. Navar says heart disease is the number one cause of death of women and men in the United States.
The heart walks for DFW take place Sept. 24 in Dallas at Reunion Tower Lawn and in Tarrant County at The Shops at Clearfork. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/cardiac-arrest-survivor-on-a-mission-to-raise-awareness-education/3053532/ | 2022-08-22T01:52:10 | 0 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/cardiac-arrest-survivor-on-a-mission-to-raise-awareness-education/3053532/ |
In February, on a Meridian road near Carl’s Jr., a silver Subaru chased by police ran a red light and collided with a black Honda, leaving the back metal of the Honda ripped open, according to police records. Both drivers survived.
But six months later, Caldwell man Ruben Garcia was being chased by Kuna and Meridian police when he crossed into oncoming traffic and hit a pickup truck, killing himself and the driver of the truck.
It's unclear how many police chases result in a death. But they kill about 323 people a year. That's more than floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and lightning combined, according to the Washington Post.
Police pursuits are not a huge part of law enforcement, but they have high risks and high rewards. After an incident, it's common for people to question what the underlying procedures and risks are for law enforcement chases. The Idaho Press reached out to various police departments in the Treasure Valley to see what the training and policies are.
“I guess from an officer’s perspective, they’re kind of intense and very dynamic and very challenging at times because you’re balancing a lot of different things,” Meridian Police Department Lt. Jamie Leslie said. “When somebody chooses to flee from us, then that risk and danger to not only ourselves and the public is intensified.”
There are benefits to police pursuits, said Lisa Growette Bostaph, Boise State Criminal Justice professor. First, there's arresting and apprehending the suspect.
Plus, there's the idea of deterrence — where there are no chases, people may be more likely not to respond to police officers. Officers could risk legitimacy by not pursuing someone who commits a violent crime.
However, there are also potential costs, including injury, damage to vehicles, death, and the potential for lawsuits. If the police kill a bystander, they may lose some legitimacy in the community.
Blanket policies create problems, but most policing agencies have policies that set boundaries but allow officers to make the decision to pursue.
"It's not an easy calculation at all," Growette Bostaph said. "It's difficult because every situation is different."
Pursuing
An officer's adrenaline kicks in during a police chase, Nampa Patrol Division Lt. Oren McGuire said. After that, the first thing to do is to calm down and control breathing.
It’s a rush being in a chase, he said.
“You’ve got to be able to think and make decisions quickly,” McGuire said. “Things are moving really fast. They can change in a heartbeat … it’s almost like controlled chaos.”
For many Treasure Valley law enforcement officers, a big decision is whether to continue the pursuit. McGuire said within 15-20 seconds of the chase starting, Nampa police is deciding whether to discontinue it. And the overarching principle of most area policies is that police should weigh whether the chase or the suspect pose a greater risk to the public.
Several policies, including Boise’s, said officers have to continually weigh whether immediate apprehension of the suspect is more important than stopping the chase.
Most of the policies require the officer to take into account factors that could affect the pursuit, including weather, their capabilities, the familiarity with the area, the speed, traffic, whether there is a school zone and the vehicle’s capabilities.
“When you start a pursuit, your vehicle is essentially in its prime,” McGuire said. “As a pursuit goes on and lasts longer, you know, the engine gets hot and the brakes get hot.”
Many of the policies recognized the risk involved in a chase and identified specific instances where the risk is heightened.
Many policies state something similar, including Boise’s, which says most violations don’t warrant a continued pursuit and that officers should not pursue for infractions, misdemeanors or non-violent felony crimes.
“Deputies must not forget that the immediate apprehension of a suspect is generally not more important than the safety of the public and other pursuing deputies,” the Ada County Sheriff’s Office policy says. “No deputy or supervisor shall be criticized or disciplined for deciding not to engage in a vehicular pursuit because of the risk involved.”
The Ada County Sheriff’s Office also in its policy says chases expose bystanders, law enforcement and suspects to the risk of “serious injury or death.”
“Pursuits in residential or business areas, pursuits of or by motorcycles, and pursuits of juveniles are typically more hazardous to the public and the trooper,” Idaho State Police’s policy states. “More potential danger is involved, and a heightened level of caution and scrutiny is required.”
That doesn’t mean higher-risk chases don’t happen. In 2017, Ada County chased a 15-year-old girl from Overland near Maple Grove to Ten Mile near Amity, as previously reported. During the 20-minute pursuit, the girl was allegedly driving over 100 miles per hour.
But despite the danger of police chases, McGuire said he has never really been scared during a chase.
“A lot of times, if you really have a hankering to be a police officer you like to run, chase people and catch them,” McGuire said. “So usually, it’s excitement. I’ve never pushed myself in a pursuit to the point that I felt like I was out of control.”
Training
Several high-profile police shootings in the area have followed car chases, most notably when Boise police chased and shot Somali refugee Mohamud Hassan Mkoma last summer. Police had been trying to locate him in relation to a missing teenager whom the department believed was in danger. Four officers chased Mkoma until one of them, a sergeant, used a pursuit intervention technique to rotate and stop his car.
Of the four, two officers were exonerated of any wrongdoing in the pursuit by the Office of Police Accountability. The other two failed to turn on their body cameras, a report said, but were exonerated for all other actions.
“You use your vehicle to take the weight off of the rear tires of their vehicle, which then causes the vehicle… it goes into a circle,” Leslie, the Meridian officer, said. “Mechanically, the vehicle will then turn off because of the counter rotation of the tires are working against the transmission and the engine of the vehicle.”
The maneuver, also known as PIT, has its risks, Leslie added.
The Idaho State Police policy said the pursuit intervention technique should not be used under certain conditions unless deadly force is justified. The conditions include a vehicle traveling at speeds 45 mph or higher or on ice-covered or slick roads.
If a suspect is shooting or has a gun, it can be risky for police to get their vehicle too close to the fleeing car.
But for impaired drivers, the technique can be more effective, he said.
Police officers train in a 40-hour class that covers driving in various speeds and conditions and pursuit scenarios, Leslie said. Officers also learn how to do a pursuit intervention technique. Training continues on a yearly basis where officers go through updated legal liability training or any improved techniques.
Boise Sgt. Loren Hilliard said training starts with the policy.
Many Treasure Valley agencies do have similar policies, though sometimes they have different specifics.
For example, Idaho State Police have more specified policies, including that ISP cannot chase a car past the Canadian border.
After learning the policy, officers transition into training in the field or on the track at the Idaho POST facility in Meridian. Then there’s training in the vehicles involving and stopping pursuits.
“We have vehicles that are designed so that we can actually conduct PIT maneuvers with those vehicles and then we use other vehicles that we can do the other blocking or vehicle force methods” Hilliard said. ”We train and we set up scenarios for the officers to go through situations.”
McGuire said emergency vehicle operational classes training involves steering, braking, or things that would happen to the vehicle during a chase. He said officers are taught to pay attention to their vehicle and how it’s performing.
“I don’t want to drive above what my vehicle can do and I don’t want to drive above what my abilities are,” McGuire said. “Because if you’re doing either one of those things, you’re putting yourself and the other people in danger.”
Danger
Bystanders and people in the chased vehicle represent most of the fatalities.
In a 2007 study analyzing police chase data from 1982 to 2004, 72% of the 323 deaths deaths were occupants of the chased vehicle, 27% of the deaths — 87 people — were bystanders, and 1% of the deaths were police officers.
The Idaho Press analyzed Treasure Valley police chases from 2018 to 2022 to determine what the Idaho numbers would look like. The analysis does not include police chases that were not reported publicly, police chases where the arrest came hours later or police chases that became officer-involved shootings.
In all 15 publicly reported cases, the suspect was either arrested or died. Six people died, three of whom were innocent bystanders and three of whom were the person fleeing or a passenger in their car. No police officers died.
The numbers include the recent deaths after the aforementioned Kuna and Meridian chases. The Meridian chase is under investigation by the Critical Incident Task Force. The Boise Police Department is leading the investigation.
In many cases, managing the risk is a balancing act.
For example, for a drunk driver, McGuire said the question is more of, am I making a bad situation worse?
But there are some laws and regulations regarding police chases. For example, the Supreme Court in Brower v. County of Inyo, dealt with the death of William James Caldwell in 1984. Caldwell died when the stolen car he was fleeing in crashed into a police roadblock, according to Oyez, an online Supreme Court archive. The roadblock was an 18-wheel truck police had placed across the highway and behind a blind curve, Oyez said.
The Supreme Court said creating a roadblock in the path of a driver and pursuing the driver into it constitutes a seizure, violating the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. The unanimous decision said police violated the Fourth Amendment when the police “intentionally acquire physical control of a person or possessions,” according to Oyez.
Boise's policy mentioned “extreme measures,” which included ramming and roadblocks. Meridian said a roadblock should be a last resort and must be authorized by a supervisor.
For roadblocks, officers must follow minimum visibility, placement and illumination requirements established in Idaho code.
“Roadblocks will allow time for the suspect to safely react and present a clearly marked, intended course of travel,” the policy said.
But each situation is different.
“There’s no black or white answer on when a pursuit is or is not justified,” Hilliard said. | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/to-chase-or-not-to-chase-idaho-officers-talk-police-chases-after-deadly-pursuit/article_84e6829e-4417-5f7c-9d55-ae424b04fb28.html | 2022-08-22T01:53:05 | 1 | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/to-chase-or-not-to-chase-idaho-officers-talk-police-chases-after-deadly-pursuit/article_84e6829e-4417-5f7c-9d55-ae424b04fb28.html |
Look for the green silk leis.
They’ll be part of Husker fans Natalie and Phillip Butterfield's game-day outfits, somewhere amidst the sea of red in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Saturday when the Huskers take on Northwestern in the season opener across the ocean.
The Butterfields will be wearing their Husker shirts, of course, but the silk leis will be a nod to their hometown of O'Neill, where residents bleed Husker red but also a very bright, very Gaelic sort of green.
They are, after all, residents of the Irish capital of Nebraska.
The northeast Nebraska town was named after its founder, Gen. John O’Neill, a native of Ireland and a Civil War veteran who encouraged other Irish immigrants to settle in the area.
Natalie Butterfield’s great, great grandfather – a coal miner in Scranton, Pennsylvania – was among those who followed him to O'Neill in 1877.
People are also reading…
Some 145 years later, Natalie – a local history buff who got the bug from her dad, who loved his Irish heritage – decided the Huskers game in Ireland was the perfect reason to visit the home of her ancestors.
“I’m not sure we would have made a trip like this without the Husker game being here,” she said.
But there will be other highlights, not the least of which will be a trip to Blessington, O’Neill’s sister city 40 miles south of Dublin.
That’s the home of Gerry O’Neill, the general’s great grand nephew who has been to O’Neill more than once, the last time in 2019 when the historic floods trapped everybody in town and led town officials to weigh going ahead with the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade, Butterfield said.
They did have the parade, along with a fundraiser for flood victims, and the Butterfields got to know Gerry O’Neill.
“Having a keen interest in John O’Neill myself we had lots to talk about,” she said. “We’ve kept in touch. When we found out the Huskers were playing in Ireland we determined we would go for our 25th anniversary.’’
They’ll celebrate their anniversary with a visit to Blessington, where there will be a “twinning” event and an exchange of city banners.
Butterfield is involved with O'Neill's Historical Society, teaches a non-credit course on the O’Neill cemetery at the local Northeast Community College campus and was president of a group that raised money to have a life-size bronze sculpture of the town’s founder commissioned and dedicated this summer.
Her love of history is why she'll combine the first Husker game with a visit to O’Neill’s sister city, and to John O’Neill’s birthplace, as well as the home of some her own ancestors. She'll also visit Father Flanagan visitor’s center (of Boys Town fame). Turns out O’Neill was Father Flanagan’s first parish, Butterfield said, and she’ll bring a small book from the parish for the new visitor’s center.
“It’s going to be super cool,” she said. “This is a like a bucket list.”
Back home in O'Neill – which does St. Patrick’s Day proud each year – city officials don't have any particular plans for the Husker game day. But a tailgate to cheer on Michelle and James Liewer's son -- fifth-year Husker wide receiver Wyatt Liewer -- will embrace the green.
The Husker plates and napkins, T-shirts and hats will share space with bright green and white tableware and all manner of Irish paraphernalia.
“After 22 years of doing St. Patrick’s Day, you tend to accumulate a few beads,” Michelle Liewer said.
Reuben sandwiches will be served, and maybe even some green beer if Liewer can convince the local distributor to make some ahead of St. Patrick's Day.
Liewer figures it will be particularly special for her son to play in Ireland, even if his personal heritage is German.
He did, after all, grow up in a town that is home to the world’s largest shamrock painted at the intersection of U.S. 281 and U.S. 20, with a town sign that heralds its Irish roots and not long ago added green sidewalks.
“This town has been known to triple or quadruple in size during St. Patrick’s Day,” Liewer said. “He’s grown up with that.” | https://journalstar.com/news/local/residents-of-irish-capital-of-nebraska-cheering-on-huskers-visiting-sister-city/article_ab0d4e36-e1ca-5ccf-bfe2-f83473d7a03e.html | 2022-08-22T01:53:30 | 0 | https://journalstar.com/news/local/residents-of-irish-capital-of-nebraska-cheering-on-huskers-visiting-sister-city/article_ab0d4e36-e1ca-5ccf-bfe2-f83473d7a03e.html |
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Pinellas County Urban League President Rev. Watson Haynes II has died at age 69, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist announced in a news release on Sunday.
Haynes was a St. Petersburg native and committed his career to address generational poverty and inspiring young people in the Pinellas County community.
The cause of the death has not yet been said, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
“Today our community mourns the loss of a great man," Crist said in a statement. "Reverend Watson Haynes was a humble public servant, someone who woke up each and every day with a commitment to fight for freedom, justice, and equality for his neighbors in Pinellas County. But above all, he was my dear friend."
During his time as Florida governor, Crist appointed Haynes to the Florida Commission on Human Relations in 2008, the news release said. Haynes was then reappointed in 2011 by Sen. Rick Scott, who was the governor of Florida at the time.
Haynes grew up in the former Gas Plant neighborhood and was one of seven children of a single mother who had “a third-grade education, a stern work ethic and steely determination that her children would amount to something,” according to the Times.
"St. Petersburg has lost a giant, with the passing of Rev Watson Haynes II," St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch said in a statement. "For decades, he has been a faith, business, political and civil rights leader. Watson was a counselor, advisor, peacemaker and bridge-builder."

As model rockets intermittently screeched into the sky above the Concordia Theological Seminary grounds on Sunday afternoon, Ismar Chew diligently provided a more constant soundtrack – sandpaper on plastic.
The Trine University mechanical engineering student brought a rocket to the Summit City Aerospace Modelers' monthly gathering, hoping he would obtain a certification with his launch. But first, he had to solve the problem of an ill-fitting plastic nose cone.
"Stuff like this happens," Chew said, his hands dirty from the sanding.
As Chew focused on his rocket, Valerie Law assigned launchpads to rockets ready for flight, and she documented the participants' names, the rockets' names, motor and any special notes.
Launches are flown at the Concordia site under Federal Aviation Regulations as Class 1 rocket launches. This limits propellant mass to 125 grams and the liftoff weight to less than 3.3 pounds, according to the club's website.
When 10-year-old Zac Blackman declined Law's invitation to place his rocket on a launchpad, citing a missing motor, Law encouraged the crowd of about 30 people to help.
"Hey guys, we need to put a motor in for this little guy," she said into a microphone.
More experienced hobbyists also came to Chew's rescue. Someone had the part size he needed, and others helped him prepare the model for launch.
"I need to thank them thoroughly," Chew said of getting the part he needed.
Spectators craned their necks as successful rockets – including Chew's and Zac's – streaked overhead, sometimes leaving plumes of exhaust in their wake.
Although Zac didn't have to walk far to retrieve his rocket after landing, Chew had perhaps the farthest hike – across grassy athletic fields to the St. Joseph River.
Emily Blackman cheered Zac's achievements, which she recorded on her phone. She and Zac learn something new, such as how to fold a parachute, each time they attend the monthly event.
"It's fun to experience science," Blackman said. "Fighting gravity."
The family-oriented rocketry club's next launch is set for 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sept. 18 with Sept. 25 as a rain date. Anyone is free to attend or participate. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/model-rockets-fight-gravity-in-fort-wayne/article_a2b3fdba-2195-11ed-97ca-8f9923640657.html | 2022-08-22T02:00:21 | 1 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/model-rockets-fight-gravity-in-fort-wayne/article_a2b3fdba-2195-11ed-97ca-8f9923640657.html |
HOUSTON — A man was taken into custody after Houston police said he was found in a motel room with a missing girl who had been at the center of an AMBER Alert.
What happened
According to Houston police, they got a call about a missing 3-year-old girl at about 5:30 a.m. Sunday.
The girl's parents told the police they went to sleep at about 11 p.m. Saturday, and when they woke up early Sunday morning, the door to their apartment was open and the girl was missing.
After searching the complex, they called the police and officers began to search the area.
An apartment resident told officers they saw a man with the girl. Officers were able to use that information to identify the suspect as Holman Hernandez.
At about 2 p.m., officers found Hernandez's vehicle about a block away from where the girl had gone missing.
A nearby motel manager alerted officers that they had rented a room to Hernandez at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday.
Officers approached the room and knocked on the door, but Hernandez didn't answer. Officers forced their way inside, where they found the missing girl and Hernandez.
The child was rescued and taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Police said Hernandez put up a fight but was eventually taken into custody. No officers were injured.
Authorities didn't say what charges Hernandez would be facing. They also said they're not sure if he's related to the girl. No weapons were found in the motel room.
Here's the update Houston Police Chief Troy Finner provided at the scene where the girl was found and Hernandez was taken into custody:

What to do when someone goes missing
Thousands of people go missing every year across the United States, and there are organizations and law enforcement agencies that work to bring them home to loved ones.
The Texas Center for the Missing is an organization with Houston roots that works to educate loved ones and authorities on finding the lost.
From resources that deal with missing children to endangered adults, the non-profit organization has compiled a wealth of resources to help.
There is no 24-hour waiting period required to report a person missing, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/houston-texas-missing-child/285-d5d2b06b-160c-4a92-a868-e22d95959bf3 | 2022-08-22T02:08:13 | 1 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/houston-texas-missing-child/285-d5d2b06b-160c-4a92-a868-e22d95959bf3 |
AUSTIN, Texas — A report from the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office found drug overdoses are the number one cause of accidental death in our community.
To shed some light on this issue, three Austin mothers organized a walk on Sunday to educate the public and raise awareness of the rising number of fentanyl overdose deaths.
"Our goal is to save one life," said Carilu Bell, one of the organizers who also lost her son to fentanyl.
Bell said her son died back in October. He was 44 years old.
"My heart breaks even more for the mothers that are losing their teenagers and their young children that really haven't had a chance to live life," she said.
Fentanyl is often added to other drugs because of its extreme potency, which makes drugs cheaper, more powerful, more addictive, and more dangerous, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Stephanie Turner, who also lost her 19-year-old son, said fentanyl overdose is the number one cause of death for 18 to 45-year-olds.
"It's being added to all drugs," she said. "I think it's really important that people understand the dangers of it."
Many times people don't know the drugs they're buying are laced with fentanyl, and the CDC said it is nearly impossible to tell if drugs have been laced with these opioids unless tested with fentanyl test strips.
"The mass production of it is unreal," said Becky Stewart, who also lost her son to this opioid. "It's super, super cheap and highly addictive. And our son's deaths were nothing more than them doing business for these dealers."
Earlier this year, Travis County and the City of Austin declared fentanyl a public health crisis, putting more resources toward stopping overdose deaths. Part of that includes expanding access to harm reduction supplies and Narcan, the nasal spray that can reverse symptoms of a possible overdose.
In an effort to reduce overdose deaths, the NICE Project set up the City's first Narcan vending machine. The Narcan is free and the vending machine can be found at Sunrise Navigation Center near Ben White Boulevard and Menchaca Road.

ERWIN, Tenn. (WJHL) – An Erwin landmark is lighting up Main Avenue again and people are looking forward to the day the doors are back open.
“The day I bought it I stood across the street,” owner Robert Fury said. “I turned the lights on on the marquee and I stood across the street and I watched people look at this theatre, and that left me with such a sense of responsibility to understanding what this building means.”
Fury said since then he’s been busy. He plans to renovate the building, while maintaining its vintage feel. Live music will be the focus but Fury said he wants it to be multipurpose.
Fury said it’s hard to put a time frame on its opening, but they are making progress.
“In the last two weeks, we’ve had the most productive time of me owning the theatre,” Fury said. “We have the core team put together. It’s almost all local people.”
Getting the community involved is something that’s going to be instrumental to its opening. While they are privately funding, they’re also fundraising by selling t-shirts and renting the marquee sign to bring their dream to fruition.
“We have partnered up to make this a reality, and it’s a passion project,” partner Jen Pojedinec said. “It’s not going to happen overnight. It’s something that’s going to take a lot of grit, and a lot of time, energy and effort and passion like ours.”
For now, they’re taking it day by day, looking forward to when opening night finally comes.
“It’s a place that everybody can congregate, forget about the outside world, enjoy some entertainment, forget about the hustle and bustle, and just sit down and have a good time,” Fury said.
Fury said he plans to have a booth at this year’s Unicoi County Apple Festival to meet the community and fundraise. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/erwins-capitol-theatre-is-currently-a-work-in-progress/ | 2022-08-22T02:09:07 | 1 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/erwins-capitol-theatre-is-currently-a-work-in-progress/ |

CAMP HILL, Pa. — New employment opportunities will be available to survivors of sex trafficking this fall and in the coming year.
Harrisburg area nonprofit Peace Promise is working to open two businesses that will employ victims: Soaps by Survivors and Ruby Coffee + Co.
Survivors of sex trafficking often never learned how to function in jobs and careers and have trouble holding down employment once free.
Peace Promise has been addressing this issue since 2008 by providing economic empowerment to victims and teaching them the life skills necessary to sustain gainful employment.
“I think what Peace Promise does really well is their care and kind of how they just do life with these girls,” said Rachel Reatty, co-founder of Ruby Coffee + Co.
The nonprofit's latest venture involves purchasing a building to house Soaps by Survivors and Ruby Coffee + Co.
Soaps by Survivors is a preexisting survivor-led soaps and bath brand owned by Peace Promise. They have been in operation for five years and currently sell their products at Route 174 Roadside Market in Mechanicsburg. Online ordering is also available but requires in-person pickup at the Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ Church.
Ruby Coffee + Co. was created by two Messiah University students who envisioned an opportunity to employ and teach job skills to trafficking survivors. They partnered with Peace Promise to bring this vision to life.
"Peace Promise is such a cool organization, and we feel so incredibly blessed to be part of it," said Rachel Ferrence, co-founder of Ruby Coffee + Co.
Peace Promise has helped hundreds of women go through rehab and find employment. The organization also strives to educate women and young girls about their vulnerability to traffickers or other exploiters—especially women suffering from childhood trauma, substance abuse or living in lower socio-economic areas.
They offer women therapy and education in foundational skills such as problem solving, social/interpersonal relations and critical thinking, along with an occupation.
“We have always talked about economic empowerment, from the very early days,” said Brooke Dunbar, the Director of Marketing and Communications for Peace Promise. “That’s what we do, that looks like so many different things. Sometimes it’s helping somebody get an education so that they can, you know, go on and have the career that they want, sometimes it starts with drug and alcohol rehab.”
Soaps by Survivors is projected to open for business sometime this fall, with Ruby Coffee + Co. following in early 2023.
The two businesses will be housed together in the same building located at 244 S. 17th St. in Camp Hill. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/harrisburg-nonprofit-peace-promise-employ-sex-trafficking-survivors-opportunity-job/521-901d1983-b6e4-4749-8c09-cec96cecbd97 | 2022-08-22T02:28:51 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/harrisburg-nonprofit-peace-promise-employ-sex-trafficking-survivors-opportunity-job/521-901d1983-b6e4-4749-8c09-cec96cecbd97 |
SEATTLE — Some residents of West Seattle are hopeful regarding the scheduled reopening of the West Seattle Bridge, while others are skeptical.
Sarah and David Hecht moved to West Seattle during the pandemic with their rescue pup Big Mama. Their weekends are spent exploring with their 4-month-old daughter, Madelyn. They stay close by.
“The bridge will be nice once the bridge is open, it’ll make such a difference. It’ll open our world,” said Sarah.
David works in Ballard with the option to work from home, an option he’s been utilizing.
"I wake up in the morning and I’m just like I’m not going to go in today because you see the red on Google Maps and it’s like, I give up,” David said.
His commute would normally take 20 to 30 minutes, but now it’s over an hour. David said he’s just lucky to have the option to work from home.
Even with the September 18th reopening announcement, there’s some hesitation.
"We’ve heard it’s going to open three times like the date has changed three times. So we’re hopeful but it’s hard to believe,” said Sarah.
Bus driver Rob Redmond is counting down the days.
“I’m 100% certain it’s good to go. I have to live on that,” Redmond said.
Redmond drives to and from West Seattle every day, all day long.
“The day it opens is the day it’ll go back to normal,” said Redmond.
According to the city, when the bridge reopens, it will also lift all restrictions on the Spokane Street Swing Bridge.
"We'll be thankful once the bridge is open so we can venture out, but in the meantime, we're loving West Seattle," said Sarah.
According to the city, the bridge closed suddenly March of 2020 because a routine inspection showed structural cracks.
Historically, this bridge carries over 100,000 cars a day. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/residents-react-scheduled-west-seattle-bridge-reopening/281-865d94a0-6f53-4bc9-aaa4-5c831097efe2 | 2022-08-22T02:52:41 | 1 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/residents-react-scheduled-west-seattle-bridge-reopening/281-865d94a0-6f53-4bc9-aaa4-5c831097efe2 |
KING COUNTY, Wash. — Washington State Patrol troopers have seen a significant increase in drivers illegally using high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes just this past week, as they caught 170 HOV violators in just a 2.5-hour span in King County.
"By the time that HOV violators sees us there's a very good chance we already saw them," said Trooper Robert Reyer, the Public Information Officer with Washington State Patrol District 1.
Reyer believes drivers in Washington need a quick refresher on who can use HOV lanes.
"Those vehicles include public transportation vehicles, motorcycles, cars that don't have less than a pre-specified number of occupants inside them and some private transportation providers, if their vehicles can carry eight or more passengers," said Reyer.
Passengers don't include dummies or skeletons either, which some drivers have tried to use in the past and just because roads are getting busier, doesn't mean that's an excuse to break the law.
"Now that we're going back to pre-COVID numbers it seems like this patience has faded and now if you're stuck in traffic, it's very tempting to hop over into that HOV lane and then use that," said Reyer.
Last year in King County there were 6,035 HOV violators. Summer is not even over yet, and King County is already nearing that mark at 5,614. Meanwhile, Pierce and Thurston Counties have surpassed their totals from 2021, which was 750. This year alone, there have already been 801 HOV violators.
"We're looking at a fine about $189 for the first violation, if somebody gets caught a second time within two years of violating this law then we're looking at a fine of $339," said Reyer.
Reyer wants drivers to know, there are troopers working around the clock to ensure rules are being followed, and the roads and highways are safe. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/washington-state-increase-hov-violations/281-a0630da3-dba5-46a2-bd6c-b1dd2afe1a7c | 2022-08-22T02:52:47 | 0 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/washington-state-increase-hov-violations/281-a0630da3-dba5-46a2-bd6c-b1dd2afe1a7c |

GARY — Darren Washington was selected to replace At-Large Gary City Councilman Mike Brown during a Saturday morning caucus.
Washington, president of the Calumet Township Board, was chosen from a pool of six candidates after two rounds of voting. Lake County Democratic Party Chairman Jim Wieser said the caucus had "a great turnout," as 45 of Gary's 49 precinct committee people attended.
In the first round; Washington received 20 votes, Lori Peterson Latham received 17, Carl Weatherspoon Jr. received three, LuJuan Clemons and Johnathan Boose each received two and Mark Spencer received one.
The four candidates who received less than 10% of the vote were eliminated. In the second round, Washington received 26 votes and Latham received 19.

Washington said he will resign from the Calumet Township Board at the start of the week. Another caucus will be held in the next few weeks to fill Washington's Township Board seat, Wieser said.
Washington will participate in his first City Council meeting on Aug. 24.
"The first thing that I want to do is meet with the administration because budget season is coming. We need to look at what the administration is proposing and compare that to the needs of the community," Washington said, adding that he wants the council and Mayor Jerome Prince's administration to present a united front.
"The administration and Jerome Prince, they are the executive branch of our government ... they are responsible for the vision of our city. We (the Gary City Council) need to work with our current administration. We can give our ideas, but the residents voted to put him (Prince) in this office, so we need to let him do his job," Washington said. "My goal is to use my gifts to help move his plan forward."
A resident of Gary's 2nd District, Washington is the Senior Pastor of the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in South Bend. He ran for Indiana Senate District 3 in 2016, losing to current state Sen. Eddie Melton. He ran for Calumet Township Trustee in the April primary, but lost to incumbent Kimberly Robinson. He also served on the Gary School Board for eight years.
Washington said he has ample experience with crafting and evaluating budgets. His top funding priorities are: public safety, improving city infrastructure to attract development and employment opportunities, and continuing efforts to demolish vacant buildings.
"I want our residents be proud of the community where they live," Washington said.
Brown, Washington's predecessor, was caucused in to replace former Lake County Circuit Court Judge Lorenzo Arredondo as Lake County clerk on Aug. 6. Arredondo resigned on July 14 due to continued health issues following a Jan. 13 fall.
Brown previously served as Lake County clerk from 2010 to 2018. He resigned in 2018 after he was caucused in to fill the at-large Gary Common Council seat previously held by current state Rep. Ragen Hatcher, D-Gary. | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/gary/president-of-calumet-township-board-selected-to-fill-vacant-gary-city-council-seat/article_4d690914-8c65-5e1c-9b7d-0f981b25a399.html | 2022-08-22T03:02:51 | 1 | https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/gary/president-of-calumet-township-board-selected-to-fill-vacant-gary-city-council-seat/article_4d690914-8c65-5e1c-9b7d-0f981b25a399.html |
LOWELL — Labor Day is approaching, which means Lowell is gearing up to celebrate.
Many activities are planned in town for that long holiday weekend, and one of the biggest attractions is Lowell’s annual Labor Day parade.
The parade starts at 10 a.m. Sept. 5, and the route travels on Commercial Avenue from Lowell High School to the railroad tracks near the American Legion, 108 1/2 E. Commercial Ave.
Sue Peterson, a parade organizer, said were 105 entries as of Friday. Among those committed are the Jesse White Tumblers, Mi Ranchito horses, Lowell High School marching band and close to 20 unions.
“And they bring a ton of people,” Peterson said of the unions.
She said the theme of this year’s parade is “I Love My Community,” and students and teachers from the Tot Spot Preschool will ride on the grand marshal float.

A kiddie parade also is planned in town. It starts at 1 p.m. Sept. 4 at Old Town Square, which is located at Fremont Street and Commercial Avenue. The parade is open to children 12 and younger. Registration starts at 11.
“We have people who are bringing their grandkids; they were in it and now they’re bringing their grandkids to be in it,” Peterson said.
Children can dress in costumes to represent four different categories — fictional/storybook, farm/tractors/agriculture, first responders/military and historical/patriotic. Prizes will be awarded in each category.
“We’re also going to have a huge fireworks show on Sunday night (Sept. 4) at dusk,” Peterson said.
The fireworks show takes place on the old middle school property behind Oak Hill Elementary School.
“We’re looking forward to everything,” Peterson said.
Organized separately from the parade is a Labor Day Festival at the American Legion grounds.
There will be live entertainment, a beer garden, kids zone and other attractions. The festival is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sept. 3, and there will be a car show running from 5 to 9 p.m. on Mill Street. There will be a worship service at 10 a.m. Sept. 4, and the festival continues from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. A corn hole tournament is scheduled to begin at noon Sept. 4. The festival will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 5.

WOODSTOCK, Ga. — Ford Motor Co. plans to appeal a $1.7 billion verdict against the automaker after a pickup truck crash that claimed the lives of a Georgia couple, a company representative said Sunday.
Jurors in Gwinnett County, just northeast of Atlanta, returned the verdict late last week in the yearslong civil case involving what the plaintiffs’ lawyers called dangerously defective roofs on Ford pickup trucks, lawyer James Butler Jr. said Sunday.
Melvin and Voncile Hill were killed in April 2014 in the rollover wreck of their 2002 Ford F-250. Their children Kim and Adam Hill were the plaintiffs in the wrongful death case.
“While our sympathies go out to the Hill family, we do not believe the verdict is supported by the evidence, and we plan to appeal,” Ford said in a statement to The Associated Press on Sunday.
Butler said he was stunned by evidence in the case.
“I used to buy Ford trucks,” Butler said on Sunday. “I thought nobody would sell a truck with a roof this weak. The damn thing is useless in a wreck. You might as well drive a convertible.”
In closing arguments, lawyers hired by the company defended the actions of Ford and its engineers.
The Michigan-based automaker sought to defend the company against accusations “that Ford and its engineers acted willfully and wantonly, with a conscious indifference for the safety of the people who ride in their cars when they made these decisions about roof strength,” defense lawyer William Withrow Jr. said in his closing arguments, according to a court transcript.
The allegation that Ford was irresponsible and willfully made decisions that put customers at risk is “simply not the case,” another defense lawyer, Paul Malek, said in the same closing argument.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs had submitted evidence of nearly 80 similar rollover wrecks that involved truck roofs being crushed that injured or killed motorist, Butler’s law firm, Butler Prather LLP, said in a statement.
“More deaths and severe injuries are certain because millions of these trucks are on the road,” Butler’s co-counsel, Gerald Davidson, said in the statement.
“An award of punitive damages to hopefully warn people riding around in the millions of those trucks Ford sold was the reason the Hill family insisted on a verdict,” Butler said. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/georgia-jury-awards-17-billion-in-ford-truck-crash-case/85-1bb236ac-2091-4c7d-b66c-3e16ade81fb1 | 2022-08-22T03:23:44 | 1 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/georgia-jury-awards-17-billion-in-ford-truck-crash-case/85-1bb236ac-2091-4c7d-b66c-3e16ade81fb1 |

Woman dies after running red light, investigation ongoing
A 45-year-old woman is dead after sustaining "significant injuries" following a car crash in the area of Cactus Road and 79th Avenue Saturday night.
Peoria Police and Fire Department responded to the scene at approximately 9:45 p.m. to an accident involving a red SUV and black SUV.
According to a preliminary investigation conducted by Peoria Police Department, the driver of the black SUV was driving northbound on 79th Avenue through the intersection at Cactus Road and had a green light. The driver of the red SUV was traveling westbound on Cactus Road and failed to stop for a red light, which caused both vehicles to collide at the intersection.
The driver of the red SUV was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle, sustaining "significant injuries." She was transported to a local hospital for treatment where she later died of her injuries. The driver was identified as Cynthia Tapper, 45.
The driver and passenger of the black SUV sustained minor injuries and remained on scene.
Peoria police said the intersection was closed for several hours during the investigation but opened for normal traffic at approximately 3 a.m.
An investigation is ongoing. It is unknown whether impairment is a factor in the accident.

MULBERRY, Ark. — Two Crawford County Deputies were suspended and a Mulberry Police Officer is on administrative leave after a video surfaced showing a violent arrest, causing outrage on social media.
In the video, the three law enforcement officers are seen on top of the suspect, allegedly using excessive force, at a convenience store in Mulberry, Arkansas on Sunday, Aug. 21. The suspect is identified as Randall Worcester, 27, of Goose Creek, South Carolina.
According to Sheriff Jimmy Damante with the Crawford County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), around 10 a.m. Sunday, Alma police officers were called about a man making terroristic threats to a convenience store employee. Worcester allegedly spit on the employee and threatened to "cut off their face."
Sheriff Damante says Worcester then traveled on a bike to Mulberry, near Exit 20, where the Mulberry officer and the deputies met with him. The conversation began calm, but the sheriff says Worcester then began attacking one of the deputies by pushing him to the ground and punching the back of his head, leading to what was seen in the video.
In the video, the deputies and the officer are seen holding Worcester down on the ground, kneeling on him and slamming his face to the ground.
WARNING: Video below contains graphic content some may find disturbing:
Arkansas State Police are now investigating the incident while CCSO holds an internal investigation.
The CCSO released the following statement on Facebook:
"In reference to the video circulating social media involving two Crawford County Deputies, we have requested that Arkansas State Police conduct the investigation and the Deputies have been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. I hold all my employees accountable for their actions and will take appropriate measures in this matter."
Sheriff Damante says the deputy was told to go to the hospital to get checked for their injuries.
The man, whose identity has not been released at this time, was booked into jail and then taken to an area hospital. The extent of his injuries is not known at this time. He faces charges of terroristic threatening, resisting arrest, 2nd-degree battery, trespassing, aggravated assault and being in possession of an instrument of crime, according to Sheriff Damante.
The Mulberry Police Department released the following statement regarding the incident:

The Mulberry Mayor, Gary Baxter, released the following statement:
To the Citizens of Mulberry,
I was contacted by Mulberry Police Chief Shannon Greggory around 1:30 p.m. this afternoon making me aware of an incident with one of our officers that took place around 11 a.m. this morning.

I immediately coordinated with our police chief to ensure appropriate policy was followed resulting in the officer being placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation and requesting investigation by the Arkansas State Police as an outside agency. I then coordinated a response with Chief Greggory to inform the media and our citizens, via social media, to make them aware of city actions. The Arkansas State Police are investigating the incident and will provide the results when completed. I have been coordinating all afternoon with appropriate individuals and agencies ensuring the City of Mulberry is taking the proper actions. Once the investigation by the Arkansas State Police is completed, we will take the results of the investigations very seriously and take any actions necessary to ensure this never happens again. We have continually instructed our officers to respond professionally in all situations. I want to assure you, the citizens of Mulberry, and those who visit our city, that Mulberry Police Officers will treat all people with dignity and respect. Should this ever show not to be the case action will be immediate and decisive. Our officers are trained and briefed on how to respond appropriately to any incident. The safety and security of all who come in contact with our officers is our top priority and will endeavor to the best of my ability to make sure this is always the case.
No further details have been released at this time. We will update you with more information as it becomes available.

BIRMINGHAM Ala. (WIAT) — Sylacauga city leaders are working to boost their downtown area with two new entertainment districts. The Sylacauga Commercial Development Authority is partnering with the city council to move forward with these plans.
City councilman, Nate Brewer, says initial thoughts of the entertainment districts began 12 years ago. He says the plans to add what the Sylacauga Commercial Development Authority calls “fun zones” will likely be finalized in October.
Brewer says before plans are finalized, all partners must come to an understanding of how they want everything to be laid out.
He says neighbors can look forward to entertainment districts that will host events like concerts in addition to play areas for kids. Places for people to go out, eat, and shop are also in the works.
“Whatever you need it to be,” said Brewer. “That’s the whole part of this entertainment center, is to have different things on each part of it to do for the citizens.”
Pizza and pint employee, Matthew Hebert, says he feels the addition could have a positive impact on local businesses.
Hebert says he hopes this will allow the city to continue on a path of growth.
“I remember, like, this place used to be so small,” said Hebert. “There wasn’t that much things to do around here and now it’s just so much more growth and everybody benefits”
Brewer says local businesses are the heart of their town and they hope to bring more traction to those businesses with the new entertainment districts.
“We want to try to keep everyone here in Sylacauga, and we want to bring other people from other cities here because if you have an event, you can have different things going on at one time,” said Brewer. “And then you have something at every place for certain groups of people.”
Brewer believes the addition of the entertainment districts will have a wonderful impact on their community and thinks they will take Sylacauga to the next level. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/sylacauga-works-to-finalize-plans-for-the-addition-of-two-entertainment-districts/ | 2022-08-22T03:59:12 | 0 | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/sylacauga-works-to-finalize-plans-for-the-addition-of-two-entertainment-districts/ |

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — A person driving a pickup truck in Palm Harbor struck and killed an 11-year-old boy on a bike at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release.
The 21-year-old man driving the pickup truck towing a boat trailer was heading northbound on U.S-19 on the right lane, south of Grand Cypress Boulevard when he drove off onto the shoulder of the road to avoid hitting slowing traffic and to avoid a crash, troopers say.
When the driver swerved off the road, he collided with an 11-year-old boy on his bicycle who was riding on the sidewalk next to the road, FHP says.
The 11-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died due to his injuries suffered from the crash. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/11-year-old-boy-killed-palm-harbor-car-crash/67-18b5f80c-4267-450a-aaa7-7a36bb78905a | 2022-08-22T04:12:13 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pinellascounty/11-year-old-boy-killed-palm-harbor-car-crash/67-18b5f80c-4267-450a-aaa7-7a36bb78905a |
AUSTIN, Texas — COVID-19 long haulers are people who contracted the virus and have lingering health problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), post-COVID conditions for some people can last weeks, months and even years.
Some patients with long-haul COVID-19 are getting help by receiving treatments at a new clinic in Austin.
It has been more than two years since the pandemic started and Max Castellanos is still dealing with the effects of COVID-19.
"I've always lived such an active lifestyle and to just feel tired every day, it's, it's tiring feeling tired," Castellanos said.
Castellanos was a student-athlete who played soccer before contracting COVID-19 twice in 2020. After recovering from the virus he continued to feel tired and had shortness of breath. He said that finally changed after receiving treatment at 4REGEN in Austin, which is a new clinic that offers regenerative therapies for long-haul COVID-19 patients like Castellanos.
"I can finally go for a run, for a three-mile run, and feel like I'm fine," Castellanos said.
Sydney Fernarld is a nurse practitioner who is board certified in family medicine and a chiropractor. He serves as the South Texas Director of Operations for 4REGEN. Fernarld said the treatments rejuvenate the body and help regenerate problem areas.
"It's been working for our long COVID patients. It's giving them their energy back. It's getting rid of their brain fog. It's giving them the ability to take a deep breath," Fernarld said.
Andrew Ranken experienced something similar to Castellanos. He also contracted COVID-19 in 2020 and felt some of the same lingering health problems. With the regenerative therapies, he said he's noticed a significant difference.
"I've actually been able to get a little bit back to cardio, which is something I hadn't done in a while. So just overall, I'm excited to be a healthier person," Ranken said.
These therapies are not just for COVID-19 long haulers.
"We also utilize it for neurological problems like Alzheimer's, dementia and traumatic brain injuries from auto accidents," Fernarld said.
Roberto Mola got into a serious car accident in August 2021. He said as a result of the crash, he got a concussion and a serious back injury. Mola said he's had several appointments with a chiropractor that didn't seem to help. After receiving treatment, he said he was feeling better.
"My back is loosened up a lot. My head is much clearer. I feel like I'm not like trying to remember what I was talking about," Mola said.
Now that people are beginning to leave the pandemic in the past, patients like Castellano and Ranken said they're happy to be closer to feeling the way they did before getting COVID-19.
"I would say that for people like us that have been dealing with like long COVID, that there's hope and, you know, you can get back to feeling like yourself again and that's great," Castellanos said.
According to the CDC, while there is no test to diagnose long COVID-19, it's best to see your health care provider to determine if you're experiencing lingering health problems.
"I would recommend it to anyone who's had really bad long-haul COVID symptoms. You know, you don't have to settle for the hand that you've been dealt with," Ranken said.

TEXAS, USA — As more rain moves over Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott held a statewide weather briefing on Saturday with more than 350 city and county leaders along with first responders from around the state to plan for severe weather.
Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to mobilize state resources to assist Texas communities expected to receive heavy rain and flooding through the coming week.
During the call, Abbott assured locate officials and first responders that the State is ready to ensure all needs are met amid the heavy rain potential. He spoke directly with Cameron County, El Paso and Amarillo officials to discuss any needs their communities might have as they face inclement weather.
"I urge Texans to remain alert about changing weather conditions, take the active weather threats seriously, and heed the guidance of local officials as storms bringing rain and flood concerns push through our state," Abbott said in a media release. "The State of Texas is using all means necessary to support local community efforts to protect life and property, and it’s essential that communities across the state take proactive measures to keep all Texans safe."
According to the release, the TDEM has coordinated and positioned more than 250 personnel and more than 100 pieces of equipment. Resources have been placed across the state for activation if needed:
- Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX): 6 Texas A&M Task Force 1 (TXTF 1) swiftwater boat squads
- Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD): 2 Search & Rescue Boat Teams
- Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS): Tactical Marine Unit; 3 Helicopters with hoist capabilities
- Texas National Guard: 3 Helicopters and 3 Ground Transportation Companies totaling more than 60 vehicles and more than 150 personnel
- Texas Emergency Medical Task Force (TX-EMTF): 2 Severe Weather Packages including ambulances, ambulance buses, and emergency medical service personnel
Here are flood preparedness and safety tips to follow during severe weather events:
- Know types of flood risk in your area. Visit FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center for information.
- Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provide emergency alerts.
- Build an emergency supply kit. For more information on how to build a kit, visit: ready.gov/kit
- Keep important documents in a waterproof container. Create password-protected digital copies.
- Protect your property. Move valuables to higher levels. Declutter drains and gutters. Install check valves. Consider a sump pump with a battery.
- Be extremely cautious of any water on roads or in creeks, streams, storm drains, or other areas – never attempt to cross flowing streams or drive across flooded roadways and always observe road barricades placed for your protection. Remember, Turn Around Don’t Drown.

SCIO, Ore. — Authorities said Sunday evening that one person died and another person was severely injured after a small plane crashed near the Linn County community of Scio that afternoon.
The Linn County Sheriff's Office was notified around 2 p.m. of a single-engine plane crash east of Scio along Richardson Gap Road. Fire crews and medical staff from the Scio Rural Fire Department, along with neighbors who witnessed the crash, were quick to arrive on the scene.
Deputies arrived minutes later, the sheriff's office said, finding the pilot of the aircraft dead at the scene. He was later identified as Dennis Jackson, 78, of Independence.
The plane also had one passenger, identified as Dennis' wife, Amy Jackson. Amy suffered life-threatening injuries and was airlifted from the scene by LifeFlight Air Ambulance to Salem Memorial Hospital.
LCSO said that the plane was registered with the Federal Aviation Administration as an Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft, described as a "Dennis Jackson RV-8" single-engine airplane, manufactured in 2004.
The FAA maintains a list of certain aircraft kits that are produced by companies and can be purchased and assembled by pilots. A company called Van's Aircraft does produce a model RV-8, but it's unclear if this was the same or similar type of craft.
Deputies will remain to secure the scene overnight, the sheriff's office said. Linn County detectives expect to be joined on Monday by investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA to complete the investigation.
The sheriff's office said it expects to release more information around 10 a.m. on Monday.

KING COUNTY, Wash. — Washington State Patrol troopers have seen a significant increase in drivers illegally using high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes just this past week, as they caught 170 HOV violators in just a 2.5-hour span in King County.
"By the time that HOV violators sees us there's a very good chance we already saw them," said Trooper Robert Reyer, the Public Information Officer with Washington State Patrol District 1.
Reyer believes drivers in Washington need a quick refresher on who can use HOV lanes.
"Those vehicles include public transportation vehicles, motorcycles, cars that don't have less than a pre-specified number of occupants inside them and some private transportation providers, if their vehicles can carry eight or more passengers," said Reyer.
Passengers don't include dummies or skeletons either, which some drivers have tried to use in the past and just because roads are getting busier, doesn't mean that's an excuse to break the law.
"Now that we're going back to pre-COVID numbers it seems like this patience has faded and now if you're stuck in traffic, it's very tempting to hop over into that HOV lane and then use that," said Reyer.
Last year in King County there were 6,035 HOV violators. Summer is not even over yet, and King County is already nearing that mark at 5,614. Meanwhile, Pierce and Thurston Counties have surpassed their totals from 2021, which was 750. This year alone, there have already been 801 HOV violators.
"We're looking at a fine about $189 for the first violation, if somebody gets caught a second time within two years of violating this law then we're looking at a fine of $339," said Reyer.
Reyer wants drivers to know, there are troopers working around the clock to ensure rules are being followed, and the roads and highways are safe. | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/washington-state-increase-hov-violations/281-a0630da3-dba5-46a2-bd6c-b1dd2afe1a7c | 2022-08-22T04:34:47 | 0 | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/washington-state-increase-hov-violations/281-a0630da3-dba5-46a2-bd6c-b1dd2afe1a7c |
Noise Pop’s 20th Street Block Party is back, and this time, it has a new home in San Francisco’s Mission District.
The annual outdoor music festival, typically held between Harrison and Bryant Streets, will now descend on Valencia Street between 18th and 21st Streets, with San Francisco-based hardcore punk band Destroy Boys taking over as this year’s headliners. Since the group’s inception in 2015, vocalist Alexia Roditis, guitarist Vi Mayugba and drummer Narsai Malik have developed a cult following and made a fan out of Billie Joe Armstrong with their raw, unfettered noise that falls somewhere between the Linda Lindas and Minor Threat. Their set is not to be missed.
Excelsior District surf rockers Hot Flash Heat Wave, electronic R&B six-piece the Seshen, local rapper Ricky Lake, singer-songwriter Marinero and Pitchfork-lauded bedroom rock trio Sour Widows will round out the lineup. (This writer recommends psychobilly-meets-post-punk band Juicebumps and ‘80s influenced jangle-pop group The Umbrellas.)
The event, taking place on Oct. 15 from noon to 6 p.m., is now in closer proximity to Noise Pop’s new headquarters just across the street from Mission Playground, where they relocated during the pandemic after 12 years at their space on Bryant Street. A benefit for neighborhood nonprofits 826 Valencia and La Cocina, the 20th Street Block Party is free and open to all ages, though like previous years, you’ll need to reserve a spot online to attend. VIP headliner passes are also available for $69 and include access to exclusive outdoor viewing areas as well as a private lounge and bar, plus complimentary beverages and hors d'oeuvres from local restaurants.
“With a continued focus on all things local since the event’s inception in 2013, the fall Block Party will continue to highlight the small businesses, food, music, art, and rich culture that not only inspires the Mission District community but residents across the Bay Area and far beyond,” the event description reads.

GALVESTON, Texas — A man went missing Sunday after going into the water to rescue his daughter near the San Luis Pass bridge.
According to Galveston officials, the man went into the water on the north side of the bridge to try to get his 3-year-old daughter.
They said it happened around 7 p.m. when the girl was on a float that was being blown to the northeast by the wind.
Rescue crews spotted her and went after her on a jet ski. They got to her on a sandbar and brought her to safety.

TEXAS, USA — As more rain moves over Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott held a statewide weather briefing on Saturday with more than 350 city and county leaders along with first responders from around the state to plan for severe weather.
Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to mobilize state resources to assist Texas communities expected to receive heavy rain and flooding through the coming week.
During the call, Abbott assured locate officials and first responders that the State is ready to ensure all needs are met amid the heavy rain potential. He spoke directly with Cameron County, El Paso and Amarillo officials to discuss any needs their communities might have as they face inclement weather.
"I urge Texans to remain alert about changing weather conditions, take the active weather threats seriously, and heed the guidance of local officials as storms bringing rain and flood concerns push through our state," Abbott said in a media release. "The State of Texas is using all means necessary to support local community efforts to protect life and property, and it’s essential that communities across the state take proactive measures to keep all Texans safe."
According to the release, the TDEM has coordinated and positioned more than 250 personnel and more than 100 pieces of equipment. Resources have been placed across the state for activation if needed:
- Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX): 6 Texas A&M Task Force 1 (TXTF 1) swiftwater boat squads
- Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD): 2 Search & Rescue Boat Teams
- Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS): Tactical Marine Unit; 3 Helicopters with hoist capabilities
- Texas National Guard: 3 Helicopters and 3 Ground Transportation Companies totaling more than 60 vehicles and more than 150 personnel
- Texas Emergency Medical Task Force (TX-EMTF): 2 Severe Weather Packages including ambulances, ambulance buses, and emergency medical service personnel
Here are flood preparedness and safety tips to follow during severe weather events:
- Know types of flood risk in your area. Visit FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center for information.
- Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provide emergency alerts.
- Build an emergency supply kit. For more information on how to build a kit, visit: ready.gov/kit
- Keep important documents in a waterproof container. Create password-protected digital copies.
- Protect your property. Move valuables to higher levels. Declutter drains and gutters. Install check valves. Consider a sump pump with a battery.
- Be extremely cautious of any water on roads or in creeks, streams, storm drains, or other areas – never attempt to cross flowing streams or drive across flooded roadways and always observe road barricades placed for your protection. Remember, Turn Around Don’t Drown.

Scott Stallings finishes 2nd at BMW Championship to qualify for Tour Championship
WILMINGTON, Del. – Scott Stallings isn’t a numbers guy, but when he saw PGA Tour rookies Harry Higgs, Maverick McNealy and Robby Shelton qualify for the 2019 BMW Championship by finishing in the top 70 and he didn’t yet again, the Oak Ridge High School graduate realized those three golfers shared one common trait: a stats coach.
“I need to know what you did with them that’s going to help me,” Stallings told Hunter Stewart, a former player turned stats guru.
Three years later, after hiring Stewart, Stallings not only made it to the BMW Championship, he nearly won the tournament, shooting a final round 2-under-par 69 to finish second to Patrick Cantlay on Sunday.

But there was a pretty sweet consolation prize for Stallings, who in his 12th year on the PGA Tour booked his first trip to the Tour Championship, which is reserved for the top 30 in the season-long FedEx Cup point standings.
“That was my No. 1 goal to start the year,” said Stallings, who entered the week at No. 47 and vaulted to No. 12 in the FedEx Cup. “To compete with the best players in the world and make it to East Lake was better late than never, I guess."
He also won $1,620,000 in prize money.
Stallings, 37, opened with a pair of 68s and climbed within a stroke of the lead with a 66 on Saturday as he searched for his first victory since the 2014 Farmers Insurance Open. Stallings tied for the lead early with a 6-foot birdie putt at the third hole, but gave a stroke back with a bogey at the fifth. He bounced back by stiffing a pitch from 72 yards to inside 3 feet for birdie at the sixth. Stallings built a two-stroke lead with a birdie at 11 and a bogey by Cantlay, playing a group behind him, at No. 10.
But Cantlay, who successfully defended his title and won for the eighth time in his career, carded three birdies on the way to the clubhouse, including a 6-foot putt at 17, which turned out to be the difference. Stallings made a three-putt bogey at 13 and a birdie at 14, but couldn’t buy a putt down the stretch. Stallings missed a 9-foot birdie putt at 18 to tie Cantlay, one of four birdie tries from 18 feet or less that didn’t drop.
"It did exactly what we thought it was going to do,” Stallings said of the final birdie effort, “it just did it behind the hole." | https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/local/2022/08/21/scott-stallings-bmw-championship-qualify-tour-championship/7862255001/ | 2022-08-22T05:00:52 | 0 | https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/local/2022/08/21/scott-stallings-bmw-championship-qualify-tour-championship/7862255001/ |
Police chase ends after suspects crash into tree in Detroit
A police chase from Southfield into Detroit ended Sunday night when suspects crashed the vehicle into a tree, authorities said.
Police were called to a gas station after receiving calls that it appeared two men were trying to force a woman into a car at the intersection of Eight Mile Road and Shiawassee Street in Southfield.
When officers arrived, "the vehicle ended up taking off," said Lt. Jared Lanzon of the Southfield Police Department.
"They attempted to stop it, but (the car) fled from them eastbound on Eight Mile," Lanzon said.
Police chased the vehicle into Detroit, where it came to a stop after it crashed into a tree at the intersection of Pilgrim Street and Ashton Road, Lanzon said.
One of the men and a woman were found after they allegedly tried to hide from police; it was not immediately clear what happened to another man.
No one was injured in the crash, Lanzon said.
He said it appeared no attempted kidnapping had occurred.
An investigation is ongoing.

National Fentanyl Awareness Day is on Sunday, Aug. 21. Across the country, communities rallied to shine a light on a problem plaguing countless families.
In Flower Mound, teens and their parents gathered to gain understanding about the deadly drug and tools to hopefully avoid tragedy.
It was the pain of her own loss that moved Kathy O’Keefe to action. When her son died of a drug overdose twelve years ago, fentanyl wasn’t on the radar. Today, the drug has infiltrated communities with deadly consequences.
“I want people to understand it can happen to you. It does happen in Flower Mound. It does happen to good families that go to church and are close," O'Keefe said. "It can happen.”
O’Keefe hosted a panel discussion at Flower Mound High School where law enforcement said they’ve seen an increase in fentanyl over the last eighteen months. Eduardo Chavez is a special agent in charge of the Dallas Drug Enforcement Administration and was a part of Sunday’s panel.
HEALTH NEWS
“Ask that question. Make it uncomfortable,” said Chaves. "Because people's lives depend on it.”
He said in the DFW region last year, the Dallas DEA seized more than 600,000 pills containing fentanyl. This year, they’re on track to double that number.
“That is alarming, only because there is no experimentation when it comes to fentanyl,” Chaves said. “Two milligrams are a lethal dose.”
According to the United States DEA, fentanyl is about 100 times more potent than morphine. NARCAN was available to families in Flower Mound as a life-saving measure in the event of an overdose.
“It takes hard conversations at home. It takes not avoiding that elephant in the room,” said Chaves.
On National Fentanyl Awareness Day and beyond, O’Keefe said her hope is that less families experience what hers has.
“It’s so important for us to open those doors,” she said. “Make people pay attention.”

CALDWELL, Idaho — People are still talking about The Chicks concert at Ford Idaho Center Amphitheatre in Nampa. It was back on August 6, and the outdoor concert was absolutely packed with fans singing their hearts out in the summer heat.
Two of those fans were extra thrilled to be there. Angie Adams and her 12-year-old daughter Charlize got to go to the concert thanks to our incredible community.
"I want to start out by saying thank you to the community for helping us make this surprise for Charlize become a reality," said Angie Adams, Charlize's mother.
Charlize is a huge fan of The Chicks.
"The Chicks are one of my favorite bands," said Charlize, 12.
The 12-year-old Caldwell girl has been on a complicated medical journey since she was born.
"It's been a long journey," Angie told KTVB. "She has multiple rare diseases."
On top of a diagnosis of several rare diseases, she was also dealing with cancer, but Charlize and her mom finally got some good news recently. Charlize was told she is cancer free! Angie wanted to do something really special for her.
"Charlize loves the band The Chicks, and I got thinking what the heck, let's make a post and see if anyone has any extra tickets that I can surprise her with," said Angie.
Angie knew the band was coming to town, and her post about tickets for Charlize was shared all over the valley. So many people wanted to help, including Christopher Ozuna with Camping World. The company had some great box seats to donate!
"We ended up getting some amazing tickets from Christopher Ozuna at Camping World. So Christopher, thank you so much for giving us those box seats, they were amazing," Angie said. "We didn't have a lot of people around us, so staying safe being immunocompromised was still a big relief for her. She was able to enjoy the concert and not worry about getting sick."
Ozuna told us Camping World was just happy to be a part of this special night.
"I knew that we would be able to put something together for her, so I went ahead an commented on the post, and things took on a life of their own," said Ozuna. "I was happy to be the vessel to be able to he help her out. We hooked her up with some box tickets, they were well taken care of and I'm so grateful that I had the chance to meet them."
But that's not all, Boise bar and nightclub owner Ted Challenger made sure this mom and her daughter rode to the concert in luxury! He donated his limo, and he picked up the tab for a special dinner, too.
"I do have a limo and I thought it was best for them to go in the limo, and go have some dinner that we paid for so that they would have a great evening, anyone battling cancer deserves a great evening." Challenger told KTVB. "So, we all got a chance to show what the community can do, and we like to do that."
People in our community also donated to Charlize's Go Fund Me. Those donations will go to help pay down Charlize's current and future medical bills. She often travels for treatment.
"I've been so touched, I don't even feel that thank you says what we need to say to everyone," said Angie. "The support the blessings the prayers, everything. It's been amazing."
Charlize says it was an incredible night she will always remember. This was a big bright spot in her life!
"I'm really appreciative of this and I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone," said Charlize.

JOHNSTON, Iowa — Families across Iowa are finding school supply prices digging a bigger hole than usual in their bank accounts. Fortunately, parents and community members are banding together to make it work, even with the start of the school year so close.
The second annual "J-Rock the Block," hosted at the Simpson Barn on Sunday, gave families a chance to get ready before the school year starts in just a few days, whether that meant getting some school supplies or a free haircut.
Organizers with Johnston Parents for Equity and Antiracism (J-PEAR) said they wanted to provide a resource for families who might otherwise have slipped through the cracks.
"We felt like our community sometimes gets looked over because we're a suburb, and we know that there are families who need help," said Lya Williams, a member of J-PEAR.
And the need for that sort of help is high right now: According to the National Retail Federation, the average household is expected to shell out $864 in total for school supplies this year. That's a lot for families who are already struggling. One speaker shared that community giveaways once provided a lifeline to his own family.
"Stuff like this is how we survived," said Pascha Morgan. "Going there and getting free supplies, and not just getting the supplies, just community events like this."
Organizers told Local 5 that they prepared about the same amount of supplies as last year, but they were running a lot lower by the end of the event. They hope that the kids who attended today walk away feeling that their community is helping look out for them.
"I hope the kids that showed up today walk away knowing that their are parents in their community who care about them and want to succeed and we are here to fight for them when it feels like no one is there to fight for their rights," Williams said.
Kids in Johnston won't have long before they put those school supplies to use; classes start up on Tuesday, Aug. 23. | https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/local/school-supply-drive-johnston-parents-for-equity-and-antiracism/524-f7e687c9-cfc3-4f8f-8fb5-b09b7eaca866 | 2022-08-22T06:12:47 | 1 | https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/local/school-supply-drive-johnston-parents-for-equity-and-antiracism/524-f7e687c9-cfc3-4f8f-8fb5-b09b7eaca866 |
CONWAY COUNTY, Ark. — The end of August means it's almost time for kids to head back to school. Not only is this season a busy time for children and parents, but it's also a busy time of the year for officers with the Conway County Sheriff's Office.
For many students, that first bell is a sign that the new school year is beginning, and Deputy Miranda Trafford said the ringing of the bell is always a good reminder for her too.
She's excited for students to head back to school, and said that back-to-school time is always very busy but exciting.
"It's an exciting time," Trafford said. "Safety on the road, safety online, safety within the school, making sure everybody's accounted for, everybody's being safe."
Safety doesn't just start when students get to school or even when they're on their way there. It starts with something many parents do on the first day- take pictures of their students.
"We want parents to be cautious with the information they put out there because there are predators and there are schemes and there are thieves that are awaiting the opportunity to take advantage of people," Trafford explained.
Many parents post pictures of their kids on boards that share information like their teacher, their school, their favorite color, etc. Trafford added that there's a lot of information on there that those with bad intentions could use in the wrong way.
"I would put just my name, my first name, and I would put what I wanted to be when I grow up," Trafford said. "The parents know the rest, just redact what you don't want social media to have."
The Conway County Sheriff's Office shared this post as an example of what they suggest you should, and should not do.
On it, you can see things like a grade, a teacher, the name of the school and even identifying things about the deputy – Trafford said to take precautions and that people shouldn't post any of that to social media.
"That's just a lot of information to be putting out there to strangers," she said.
Various law enforcement agencies across the country have also shared similar tips.
The FBI has also encouraged online safety, though their tips are more overarching.
While they also stressed that people should not post sensitive information online, they also recommend that everyone update their devices and not click any links that may seem suspicious. If someone s being exploited, they said to call them at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
Trafford wants to make it clear that you can absolutely post first day of school pictures, but to remember to be smart when posting them.
"You can post the picture, you can use social media for your memories, just don't put the school they're going to and how old they are, and you know, all that identifying things on there," she said. "Be cautious." | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/arkansas-law-enforcement-encourages-online-safety/91-dc1b0a11-9dfc-4197-a687-52ae174e2c03 | 2022-08-22T06:20:12 | 0 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/arkansas-law-enforcement-encourages-online-safety/91-dc1b0a11-9dfc-4197-a687-52ae174e2c03 |

TURLOCK, Calif. — A Turlock High School student is on life support after nearly drowning in the school's diving pool, officials said.
According to a message from Principal Gabe Ontiveros, the incident happened late Friday night and left the student in critical condition.
Turlock Unified School District spokesperson Marie Russell said a group, which included THS students, entered the locked swimming complex around 11:30 p.m.
Some of the people noticed that one of their peers hadn't come back up from the water and tried to find the THS athletic trainer, who Russell said was on campus after football game that evening. According to Russell, the group said they weren't able to bring the student back up to the surface due to the water's depth and the student's weight.
"The Athletic Trainer immediately called 911 and emergency responders arrived, retrieved the student, and began CPR. Although a pulse was recovered before leaving in the ambulance, the student is listed in critical condition at this time," Russell said in an email to ABC10.
The school is communicating with the student's family to get updates on the student's condition.
"We know that news of an event like this can be very difficult and traumatic. Counselors will be available tomorrow for any student needing support. We continue to keep this student and his family in our thoughts and prayers," Ontiveros said.

DEL RIO, Texas — A Corpus Christi attorney is back home after spending six days behind bars. He was arrested Aug. 13 near the border in Del Rio with four migrants in his rental car.
Attorney Timothy Dan Japhet said he was cited on four cases of human smuggling but has not been indicted or formally charged. He was released Friday after posting a $40,000 bail bond.
"I'm out on bond until they indict me," Japhet told 3NEWS. He added he does not think they will ever indict him and thinks the case will eventually get dropped.
News of the arrest went viral on Saturday when a constable from Galveston posted about it on Facebook to congratulate his deputies. They were in Del Rio as part of Operation Lone Star, the task force that Gov. Greg Abbott created to combat illegal immigration.
Japhet was arrested while wearing an orange Corpus Christi Hooks jersey.
Japhet said he was actually heading to an Eagle Pass casino and had his dog with him. He said he mistakenly agreed to give some hitchhikers a ride, got nervous about his decision and then tried to get pulled over.
He said a man approached him when he had stopped to let his dog use the bathroom. The man asked if Japhet would give him and his friend a ride. Japhet said yes, but then two more people suddenly appeared. Japhet said he protested but felt pressured to take them.
"I thought, this is not looking good for me right now," Japhet said. "I made a bad decision."
Japhet said he tried to drive fast to get the attention of law enforcement.
"There were cops every turn. There was DPS, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, city, county..."
Japhet says deputies working with the Department of Public Safety stopped him initially and then Border Patrol showed up. He said he allowed Border Patrol to search his phone, look at his apps, and read his text messages and call log.
He thought they were going to let him go -- until the tow truck showed up.
A 'federally appointed immigration magistrate?'
Japhet said Galveston County Constable Jimmy Fullen got two things wrong in his viral Facebook post. Japhet said he was not cited for resisting arrest and that he is not a "federally appointed immigration magistrate."
He said the only immigration law he practices is property-based when someone owns property in Mexico.
3NEWS was not able to independently confirm Japhet's charges, but both Fullen and Japhet agree he was arrested for human smuggling. Japhet says it was four counts of human smuggling since there were four people in his car. He said it's a third-degree felony.
Attorney has not gotten his car or dog back
Japhet said when he was locked up for six days, his dog was also taken away. Japhet still has not gotten his animal or his rental car back, although he hopes to possibly get his dog back on Monday.
"I'm missing my dog terribly. I'll go back to Del Rio, I'll get a car and go back [Monday] and get my dog. And find out how much it's going to cost me." | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/bad-decision-corpus-christi-attorney-arrested-for-human-smuggling-says-he-gave-ride-to-hitchhikers/503-ea5ad239-01d5-4384-a3f6-c2b0f1722df5 | 2022-08-22T06:21:51 | 1 | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/bad-decision-corpus-christi-attorney-arrested-for-human-smuggling-says-he-gave-ride-to-hitchhikers/503-ea5ad239-01d5-4384-a3f6-c2b0f1722df5 |

LEHIGHTON, Pa. — The American Ukrainian Relief Association held a Ukrainian Festival on the grounds of the Ukrainian Homestead in Lehighton.
There were traditional Ukrainian foods and many vendors for visitors to check out.
There were also several stage performances.
The festival happens every year during the third weekend of August to celebrate Ukrainian Independence Day declared more than 30 years ago.
The organization also hoped to raise money to help Ukraine during its current conflict with Russia.
"It's very significant because everybody has this pain in their chest right now, and they're trying to do as much as they can, so we're trying to support all the organization, and the Homestead has been here for a number of years. So we just wanted to all get together and see if we can raise as much money as we can," said Yuliya Pemchak, treasurer, American Ukrainian Relief Association.
A portion of the proceeds will go to humanitarian aid for Ukraine as the war there continues.
