After two years of pandemic restrictions and difficulties in finding permanent employees, Bay Area Hospital announced last week it was being forced to make changes to stay financially sound.
The hospital, which primarily serves Coos Bay and North Bend, announced it was going to stop using contract labor, primarily nurses that charge a rate significantly higher than regular personnel.
As a result, the hospital said it was being forced to close its behavioral health services and many other parts of the hospital will be impacted.
In a press release, the hospital said the financial strain was primary due to two aspects. First, government action on COVID-19 restricted surgical services for more than two years. Second, the inability to hire and keep full-time personnel forced the hospital to hire temporary labor, or traveling nurses.
Since September 2021, the hospital has spent $19 million on contract labor, with many charing rates twice as high as a year ago. The hospital announced it was canceling contract of all 56 of its temporary personnel, with the contracts ending within 14 to 30 days.
The impact will be seen throughout the hospital, but behavioral health will be the biggest loser as the hospital is closing that service completely. That closure is expected by the end of June.
“These changes will reduce the organization’s annual expenses and align our cost of operations with our budget,” the press release read. “Bay Area Hospital remains committed to serving this community’s healthcare needs and honoring the people that join the organization in that mission. We recognize that these past two years have been very challenging for many people but know that there continues to be a bright future ahead as we reposition Bay Area Hospital for continued success.”
State Rep. Boomer Wright said he was stunned to hear the news, especially after the Legislature approved up to $1 billion for behavioral health in Oregon.
“As a Legislature, we set aside up to $1 billion in a couple of bills to help with behavioral health in Oregon,” Wright said. “We have agencies responsible for disbursing the money that have done very little to get it out. As usual, our agencies are slow to help people out. I’m not sure why that is.
“That’s what drives me crazy on a daily basis. I’m angry. I’m just absolutely pissed off about some of our agencies and how little they’re doing with some of their responsibilities. We need to do more. There’s no oversight. There’s no mechanism for making sure our agencies have control. I’m a little mad about this whole process.”
Wright said with the money already approved, he will work to ensure the money is dispersed, hopefully with some of it going to the South Coast.
“There’s so many agencies involved, so it’s difficult to get it going. Next week, we have legislative days on all our committees. One committee I will be attending is behavioral health. I’ve already notified our chairperson that we have a problem. We have agencies like Bay Area Hospital that provide services. I’m not going to let this go. This is important. The Coast has been ignored for so long and I don’t have a problem speaking up loud and clear.”
On Thursday, the Oregon Health Authority announced it was going to begin dispersing the behavioral health funds, but calls to OHA to see if Bay Area Hospital was receiving any were not returned.
According to OHA, the funding to be released includes:
The funding includes:
• Approximately $132 million in one-time grants to stabilize a behavioral health workforce that was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which are currently being distributed to treatment providers.
• Approximately $155 million in behavioral health provider rate increases to sustain and support behavioral health services, some of which would begin to take effect July 1.
• Approximately $230 million for supportive housing and residential treatment programs, which they will begin to receive later this summer.

Performance is splendid one
Members of Little Theatre win new honors
Dramatization of Louisa Alcott’s “Little Women” is given last night
Out of the yesterdays of each boy and girl who has read and loved Louisa Alcott’s wonderful book, and straight into the hearts of their audience, walked the “Little Women” of last night’s performance, when players of the Little Theatre Association presented the play of that title.
Parts were particularly well cast, and the playing was so very real that frank tears or warm rejoicing accompanying the scenes, were general among the hearers. The suggestion of the period was well sustained through the old-fashioned furniture of the set and the quaint gowns, shawls and bonnets worn by the characters.
The orchestra kept the thought in mind as well, by playing old time airs, the war songs of the civil war mingling with plantation tunes and the more familiar heart songs of an older day.
Tower to sell Studebakers
Change in Coos county agency is made
Ford dealer will add higher priced car to his line — expects shipment soon
It was reported today that Isaac R. Tower has been given the Coos county agency for the Studebaker. Official announcement of it is expected soon.
Mr. Tower has for some years handled the Ford exclusively in this territory and has built up a large business in Coos and Curry counties.
However, recently his agency has felt the need of a higher priced car to meet the demand of customers. The new Studebaker has been attracting much favorable attention locally as well as elsewhere and is understood to have been selected by Mr. Tower as the new line which he will handle.

Coquille Sawdust Theatre opens summer season with benefit
COQUILLE — Sawdust Theatre will open for its summer season May 26 with a benefit premiere and champagne party, it was jointly announced this week by Harold Schneiderman, Oregon Coast chairman for the Special Olympics fund which will benefit and John Moore, president of Sawdust Enterprises.
Tickets are on sale for the premiere at $12.50 each at Huggins Insurance or The Hub in Coos Bay or at Maynard Real Estate in Coquille. Tickets will be limited to 210 and proceeds will go toward sending U.S. entrants to the Summer Olympics to be held in Munich, Germany, in late summer.
Marshfield bags girls’ state track crown
SPRINGFIELD — “We ate our Wheaties this morning,” explained a laughing female Pirate as she and her Marshfield teammates ate up the opposition Saturday at the girls’ state AAA track and field meet.
Fabulous Fran Auer Sichting cleared the way for the Pirates, sweeping to firsts in the long jump (18-5), 220 (24.9) 100 (10.9) before getting set to anchor the 880 medley relay in the competition at Silke Field.
Though the Pirates had already clinched the team title, and Mrs. Sichting had already had top individual honors in hand, Marshfield coach Kay Chambers said, “watch Fran run the anchor. She wants to bring the relay home in a new record.”
It wasn’t hard to watch the senior take the baton for her final 440 leg as most of the other handoffs had already taken place and Marshfield was running a lonely lane eight, anyway. But the married speedster quickly raced across seven lanes and passed several rival runners to settle into a comfortable second-place position, and everyone knew the Pirates were the team to beat.
With about 200 yards left, Mrs. Sichting stepped out in front and never looked back. She hit the tape in 60-flat to wrap up a new state AAA medley relay record of 1:53.9 for her squad, betting the old mark she had set with three different teammates in the 1970 state meet.
Joining her this time around were Vic Hunt, Diane Walke rand Tina Rausch.
Victorious Marshfield also collected valuable points from Cheryl Bates who took fourth in the 880 (2:23.0) and third in the mile (5:25.7).
Stan Solomon is named head track coach at Marshfield High School
Stan Solomon, assistant track coach since 1966, has been named head track coach at Marshfield High School to replace Walt McClure, head coach the past 21 years who is leaving the school system to go into the life insurance business.
The appointment of Solomon to the head position and Phil Pursian as cross country coach was announced by Coos Bay District 9 Supt. John Crowley at a board meeting Monday night.
Solomon said of the appointment, “I think it will be a great challenge for me. Walt has done a tremendous job at the high school. He has been a good man to work with an a tough one to try to keep up with. It will be hard filling his shoes, but I’m going to make an effort at it.”
Solomon, 33, started his coaching career in District 9 in 1962 after graduating from Willamette University. He coached seventh and eighth grade basketball, football and track two years at the old Johnston School and then moved to Millicoma Junior High School when it opened, coaching the same sports.

Look what’s new at Bandon Dunes
As Bandon Dunes kicks off its high season for the fourth year, the world-renowned golf resort has enjoyed continued success since opening in 1999.
According to General Manager Hank Hickox, with golfers flocking to the area to try out Pacific Dunes, the new course that opened last July to favorable reviews, and the steady stream of golfers who play Bandon Dunes, the resort has been bursting at the seams.
Construction on a $10 million expansion is expected to be completed in July. More than 80 new rooms are under construction (20 have been completed) and work on a new upscale brew-pub, started in February, will be completed on July 11.
The additions will bring the total number of rooms available at the resort to 153.
The Chrome Lake cottages feature two downstairs rooms and a two-bedroom suite upstairs. Some of the rooms overlook the placid lake and all the cottages are nestled among the trees. Architect Bill Church from Portland said the idea was to give the feeling of cabins in the woods that one happens upon rather than buildings that stand out obtrusively.
Two win crowns at state
Track & Field: Roberge, Baumgartner get titles on final day
EUGENE — South Coast athletes Nathan Baumgartner and Celina Roberge each claimed individual titles on the final day of the state track and field championships on Saturday in Eugene.
But they did it in remarkably different fashion.
Baumgartner, the speedy junior from Reedsport High School left no doubt in the Class 3A 400 meters, running away from the field to win in 49.06 seconds.
Baumgartner caught his toughest challenger, Brandon Nystrom of Junction City, halfway down the backstretch on Saturday.
“I just wanted to get out fast and try to end it early,” Baumgartner said.
Roberge, meanwhile, went through several tense moments as she completed her comeback from a strained muscle and a stress fracture to capture her first state title in the Class 4A pole vault.
Roberge, a senior for Marshfield, missed her first two attempts at both 10 feet, 6 inches and 11 feet before getting over the bar on her final try. She then was the only vaulter to clear 11-3 to win the state championship.
“It was a little nervous for a while,” Roberge said after winning her crown. “I didn’t plan on cutting it this close.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — As inflation continues to hit everyone in the US, the high prices are putting a burden on Alabama farmers.
This is causing them to raise the prices on many of the produce enjoyed by Alabamians.
“The way fertilizer is right now we had to increase our prices also,” local farmer Walter Postell said. “Prices are up a little bit so people may be a little hesitant to come out but as it goes along people will start to come out more.”
Labor and fuel prices are also driving the prices up. According to the US Department of Agriculture, prices will continue to rise at least 5-6% throughout 2022. Local farmer vendors at the Alabama Farmers Market say they’re doing the best they can to make prices reasonable for consumers.
Though times have been tough, they say customers have been understanding and are still supporting.
“That doesn’t stop the customer, usually the customer tries to get here every day and we take in nice produce every day,” Farmhouse employee Edna Basques said.
Currently, the most popular produce sold at farmer’s markets are plums, peaches and watermelon.

BOAZ, Ala. (WIAT) — The Boaz Police Department is reminding drivers to move over for emergency vehicles after one of theirs was involved in a crash during a traffic stop over the weekend.
According to the Boaz PD, an officer was attempting to pull over a driver on US Hwy. 431 at Seay Avenue Saturday. While at the traffic stop, the patrol car was rear-ended by a speeding vehicle.
The officer, as well as the two other drivers, were all taken to a nearby hospital for treatment for their injuries. They have all since been released.
Boaz PD said that it is Alabama state law to move over or slow down when approaching an emergency vehicle on the road when flashing lights or other visual signals are present.

A 39-year-old Lincoln man spent the night in jail after allegedly pointing a gun at a man walking his dog in an alley near 31st and P streets.
Lincoln Police Sgt. Chris Vollmer said officers were sent to the area just before 6:45 p.m. on a 45-year-old man's report that he had been walking his dog in the alley from 31st to 32nd between P and Q streets when dogs in a fenced yard started barking.
Then, the 45-year-old said, a man came outside and pointed a gun at him.
Vollmer said he continued to the end of the block and called police, who found Tony Huisman sitting on his front porch armed with a handgun.
Police arrested him on suspicion of terroristic threats and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
The 15-year-old shot into a car outside the stadium, causing a grazing gunshot wound to the left side of the 17-year-old victim's face, police said in court records. The feud stemmed from a stolen vape cartridge.
The charge stems from April 14, when the 22-year-old reported he heard sawing noises in his driveway and saw three men underneath his car, according to police.
The top official at Nebraska’s second-largest state prison got reassigned to an assistant warden role at a different facility in November. Then he left the department to run a county jail in Indiana.
The station, originally built in 1958 and designed to house only four firefighters, has deteriorated from antiquated to unsafe in recent years as it's housed a crew of 10, Lincoln Fire Chief Dave Engler said.
Investigators intercepted the package at a local UPS facility and found about 1,832 grams of suspected meth in it, according to the Nebraska State Patrol.
Lancaster County District Judge Andrew Jacobsen also gave 19-year-old Felipe Vazquez 59 to 86 years for attempted assault on a second officer, escape and four gun charges.

Lincoln Police arrested a 54-year-old man Saturday night on suspicion of shooting his neighbor in the head with a BB gun.
Sgt. Chris Vollmer said at 11:14 p.m. they were called to the 300 block of North 44th Street on a weapons violation, where a 50-year-old woman and her 48-year-old boyfriend said a neighbor had shot their home with a BB gun.
Police had been called to the same place three hours earlier about neighbors fighting.
Vollmer said the 48-year-old man told officers he had been struck in the head with a BB and they could see a cut behind his ear with what appeared to be a BB under his skin.
He said a review of home security cameras showed Henry going outside with a handgun-style BB gun before the sound of several shots could be heard and then going back inside.

High-speed chase on I-80 ends in arrest of Minnesota man
State troopers arrested a Minnesota man Friday morning after he fled a traffic stop and led them on a high-speed chase on Interstate 80 near Aurora.
Police found cocaine and marijuana following the pursuit that started at about 10:20 a.m., the patrol said.
Corey Davis of Redwood Falls, Minnesota, was arrested and is being held in Hamilton County Jail.
Troopers initially noticed Davis' vehicle driving along the shoulder on I-80 near Giltner. After a traffic stop, he allegedly drove off, reaching speeds of about 110 mph and weaving through eastbound traffic before exiting on the southbound ramp near mile marker 332.
A trooper performed a tactical vehicle intervention to stop the vehicle. The trooper used a Taser on Davis after he exited the vehicle.
Davis was arrested on suspicion of felony flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, possession of a controlled substance, tampering with physical evidence, failure to obey a lawful order, obstructing a peace officer, resisting arrest, driving under suspension and several other traffic violations.

If the Arizona Cardinals advance to the NFL playoffs, so will HBO’s “Hard Knocks In Season.”
On Monday morning, Warner Media announced that the team would be the subject of their upcoming in-season edition of “Hard Knocks.” This will mark the second installment of the in-season version, with the debut last fall centered around the Indianapolis Colts, who didn’t advance to the postseason.
“If the Colts had won that game in Jacksonville,” Keith Cossrow, NFL Films Vice President and Senior Coordinating Producer, told Cronkite News, “(Hard Knocks) would have kept going (into the playoffs). As long as the Cardinals play, Hard Knocks will be airing. So if they go to the Super Bowl, you will get your first ever Hard Knocks Super Bowl episode.”
Unlike its training camp counterpart, the in-season edition of “Hard Knocks” will follow a team through the second half of its season, when most teams play their most meaningful football games.
“They’re filled with charismatic, colorful leaders, starting with the owner Michael Bidwill,” Cossrow said. “We worked with Michael Bidwill and Steve Keim before in the show All or Nothing seven years ago, and it was a great experience. So we’ve always looked forward to working with Michael and the organization again.”

The previous series started with the Colts for their Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars and followed them through their regular season. That experience provided HBO Sports and NFL Films with the knowledge and tools to improve on upcoming seasons.
“We had to rethink, ‘What are the focus of these episodes?’” Cossrow said. “One thing we never had in Hard Knocks previously was a meaningful football game. In the preseason, what you care about is the rookies trying to make the team. With the veterans and stars, it’s more ‘Hey, let’s spend time with these guys as they get ready for a season.’ Well, in the season, it’s the stars who have everything on the line, so they have to be the focus of the show.”
The Arizona Cardinals expressed excitement about their selection for the upcoming season of Hard Knocks In Season.
“I think it’s exciting,” Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday. “Obviously, any time you get a chance to highlight the great people that work in this building, not just players, but coaches and staff, tell their stories and see a different side of them, I think it’ll be really good TV.”
Some Cardinals players are also very excited about being featured on this year’s show.
“Oh, that’s going to be fun,” wide receiver Antoine Wesley said. “There’s a lot to know about everybody. I’m really excited to hear a lot of other people’s stories.”
Even though the Colts series ended at the end of the regular season, Cossrow said that had things gone differently, the show would’ve gone longer.
No definitive date has been set for the first episode as of yet, but if the season’s Hard Knocks In Season follows the same format as last season, the first episode will air Wednesday, November 13, recapping the Cardinals’ Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
That also means the episodes will begin after the suspension of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has ended.

"Movies in the park have become a summer tradition for families. We are excited to invite our city's new community members to join us," Recreation Coordinator of Meridian Parks & Recreation, Renee White said.
The Meridian movie nights are scheduled to begin at dusk, with various activities happening before the action starts on screen. The pre-movie activities are hosted by rotating sponsors, according to Tuesday's news release.
Movie attendees can also enjoy Settlers Park's Adventure Island Playground, which includes Idaho's first universally-accessible playground area, a climbing rock, sound garden and splash pad.

For nearly 40 years, Wolfgang Otto brought his artistic vision to Hess’s, the Allentown department store that for many residents was the city’s beating heart until its 1996 demise.
Otto, an Upper Saucon Township resident who died Sunday at 90, was Hess’ vice president of visual merchandising, meaning he was charged with capturing the imagination of would-be shoppers by painting the five-floor store as a one-of-a-kind destination, full of elegant clothing, marvelous toys and a restaurant that served a legendary strawberry pie.
One of the ways Otto helped make Hess’s a major attraction was by creating arresting window displays of new and exotic fashions that halted people in the streets and drew them inside.
The displays were far more than mannequins in dresses. They were often almost surrealistic tableaus, as elaborate as stage sets. Otto designed the enchanting floor displays, too. His keen eye, along with celebrity guests and special events, were key ingredients in the lasting success of owner Max Hess Jr.’s store.
“Max Hess had two things,” Otto said in a 2016 story marking the 20th anniversary of Hess’s 1996 closing. “He loved his store and he liked to be the first in the vicinity to bring in something nobody had seen.”
First Call
Pip the Mouse, for instance. Otto was responsible for persuading Hess Jr. to buy Pip, who was part of a Christmas puppet show created for the Bliss Window Display Co. of New York.
Pip made his Hess’s debut in 1962 in “The Mouse Before Christmas,” a wildly popular short puppet show created by puppeteer George Creegan and performed in the store’s front window at Ninth and Hamilton. Pip survived Hess’s closing, moving to the nearby Liberty Bell Shrine at Zion’s Reformed United Church of Christ in Allentown, along with the toy soldier statues and other holiday favorites that once graced the store.
Otto was proud of Hess’s success. In 1976, he noted, the store was invited to hold a Bicentennial fashion show in Philadelphia’s Logan Circle, earning the honor over that city’s major department stores.
The celebrity guests who attended events at Hess’s over the decades included George Reeves, television’s Superman, who wore his cape and tights and helped restaurant servers dish out salad in the Patio Restaurant. Johnny Carson and sidekick Ed McMahon visited. So did Rock Hudson, “Bonanza” stars Lorne Greene and Dan Blocker, and Barbara Eden from “I Dream of Jeannie.”
Otto met them all in a career spanning 37 years.
“A big loss for the community,” he told The Morning Call as he remembered Hess’s sad decline. The store, victim to retail changes and the departure of many city residents for suburbs served by shopping malls, closed on Jan. 15, 1996, less than two years after Otto retired.
Morning Call reporter Daniel Patrick Sheehan can be reached at 610-820-6598 or dsheehan@mcall.com

A 72-year-old Queens woman is recovering from a gunshot wound she received when she was hit by a stray bullet as she sat in her own home.
The victim's South Ozone Park home was riddled with at least 10 bullet holes. Police say they are looking for a man who apparently got out of a black sedan Monday night and opened fired into the home before driving away.
According to the woman, she heard a barrage of bullets and was then hit -- the latest in a growing list of innocent gun violence victims.
The victim's son, Desmond Drew, speaking exclusively with News 4 New York, said his mother is expected to be fine and will be discharged from the hospital.
"It hurts. I'm actually at a loss for words," Drew says of the incident.
Drew's mother was watching TV Monday night when bullets flew through the window. However, as she leaned back in her chair to escape the bullet, one of them went through her arm, her son said. She ended up calling police and then her son to notify them of what just took place.
"She said they're shooting and she realizes it's the house she is in, so she leans back a little and one of the bullets was able to hit her," he said.
News
A neighbor's doorbell camera caught the sound of a few of the bullets after dark car drove by just before 11:30 p.m. Minutes later, dozens of officers flooded the street.
Longtime neighbors enjoying Memorial Day said it was quite Monday night -- as they say is the usual case in their quiet South Ozone Park block.
"It sounded like 10 pops. We thought it was fireworks. My daughter was asleep in her room and she comes running downstairs, 'What was that?'" one of the neighbors said.
The NYPD does not believe the 72-year-old woman was the intended target.
Drew said he is grateful that his mom is OK.
"It's a blessing, but at the same time, it's just a little bit confusing. I don't feel good inside because basically this gun thing is getting really out of control now. This is ridiculous," he said.
The investigation is ongoing.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — A Franklin County woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of children after police say she did not adequately feed an infant girl in her care.
Kayla Ann Evans, 23, of Chambersburg, was charged on May 27, after and investigation by Chambersburg Police, according to a criminal complaint affidavit filed against her.
Evans is accused of neglecting to feed a seven-month-old infant that was diagnosed with malnutrition and failure to thrive. Franklin County Children and Youth Services contacted police about the baby on May 2, after she was hospitalized in critical condition due to inadequate nutrition.
Doctors told police the baby was malnourished to a "near-fatal degree" when she was admitted to Harrisburg Hospital for treatment on April 22, according to the complaint.
The baby's health had stabilized by the time police were contacted, the complaint states.
An investigation by police determined Evans had a history of missing follow-up appointments for the baby. Childcare advocates who met with Evans and the baby in April, before she was hospitalized, were concerned that "the baby would die if left with (Evans) without medical intervention," according to the criminal complaint.
Evans allegedly told a certified pediatric nurse practitioner that her doctors' suggested feeding schedule for the baby (every 2-3 hours) was "just too much" and that she left the baby in another room when she cried, police say.
The CPNP described the baby as exhibiting a "high-pitched miserable cry" and that she was "wide-eyed crying, likely due to hunger" during a visit on April 22, before the baby was hospitalized.
The baby was placed in foster care after being hospitalized. In a follow-up visit on May 12, the baby displayed a "remarkable" difference in appearance and health, the CPNP told police. The child had solid foods added to her diet and was showing no issues, the nurse practitioner said.
The baby had gained more than three pounds between April 22 and May 12, police say.

Just one more step and the stroller would have been on the curb.
The thought haunts Latanya Byrd years after a driver racing down Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia struck and killed her 27-year-old niece, Samara Banks, and three of Banks’ young sons as they crossed the 12-lane road. Today, many of the conditions that led to the fatal 2013 crash still exist.
Since the crash, Byrd became an advocate for safer streets, fighting to get automated speed cameras placed along the boulevard where 10% to 13% of the city's traffic fatalities happened each year prior to the coronavirus pandemic, city officials said.
And now, amid a national surge in traffic fatalities that federal officials have called a crisis and studies showing Black communities have been hit even harder during the pandemic, plans to redesign the city's “corridor of death” — as some residents and safety advocates call Roosevelt— could be gaining traction.
Roosevelt Boulevard is an almost 14-mile maze of chaotic traffic patterns that passes through some of the city's most diverse neighborhoods and census tracts with the highest poverty rates. Driving can be dangerous with cars traversing between inner and outer lanes, but biking or walking on the boulevard can be even worse with some pedestrian crossings longer than a football field and taking four light cycles to cross.
“You would not design a street or a road like that today,” said Christopher Puchalsky, policy director for Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability. “It feels like an expressway, but it’s in the middle and between neighborhoods.”
Roosevelt Boulevard was first designed in the early 1900s, but as the northeast neighborhoods grew and it was connected to a major highway in the 1950s, lanes were repeatedly added to handle the growing number of cars.
Many of the city's ideas for fixing Roosevelt have been championed under new federal strategies. In the wake of increasing fatalities, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has pushed a “safe system” approach, encouraging cities and states to take into account more than just driver behavior when designing roads.
The Biden administration also created funding for safety improvements, including the bipartisan infrastructure law and a $5 billion federal aid package to cities over the next five years. Federal officials have pledged to prioritize equity when making funding decisions in the wake of a disproportionate 23% jump in Black traffic fatalities in 2020.
“We’ll certainly remind the federal government when we are applying for grants of the equity priorities that the leadership has set out,” Puchalsky said.
Kelley Yemen, director of Philadelphia’s Complete Streets program, said the city is hoping for federal money to begin a long-term redesign of Roosevelt outlined in a study released in 2019. The two options would either make the center lanes a restricted expressway or cut speeds and convert car lanes to bicycle and transit lanes. Both carry billion-dollar price tags.
The study includes a series of smaller projects to improve safety at high-fatality stretches on the road by 2025, some already started, but residents are skeptical.
Eva Gbaa has been impatient to see changes. Her 17-year-old nephew, John “JJ” Gbaa Jr., was killed in a November 2018 hit-and-run as he tried to cross Roosevelt while walking home after hanging out with friends. He was alone at the time, and a lot of the circumstances of the crash were unknown.
A passerby found JJ and called the police, but he died at a hospital. No arrest has been made, and the family still agonizes over how someone could leave the big-hearted boy to die.
“JJ would ask me for money ... but I didn’t know until his friends told me after he passed that he would buy them food if they didn’t have any," said John Gbaa Sr., JJ's father. "He loved people. He’d give out his last dollar to his friends.”
JJ and his father had moved to Philadelphia in 2017 to be closer to family, and JJ was making huge strides in school. He loved being near his cousins, and he would hang on his aunt as she cooked traditional African rice dishes.
“He would say, ‘Auntie, when I graduate, I will go to college and then I will take care of you.’ But he never had the chance,” Eva Gbaa said, tamping down tears. “I hope, I hope they do something to make sure no family goes through this, so it doesn’t happen again.”
The family has started a school in JJ's honor in their home country of Liberia, the John G. Gbaa Jr. Academy for kindergarten through eighth grade, in hopes of giving his dream of education to others. They pay the teachers and send food, clothing and books to the students with the help of small donations.
Around Philadelphia, aggressive driving during the pandemic drove fatalities to 156 in 2020, a sharp increase from 90 deaths in 2019. Preliminary data from the Philadelphia Police Department showed a decrease in 2021 to 133 fatalities, still above pre-pandemic levels.
The data doesn’t include the race or ethnicity of the people killed, but an Associated Press analysis showed fatalities in neighborhoods where more than 70% of residents are people of color increased from about 50% in 2019 to more than 67% in 2021. The number of accidents happening in the poorest neighborhoods also increased slightly.
Sonia Szczesna, director of active transportation for the Tristate Transportation Campaign, a nonprofit transportation advocacy organization, said Black and brown communities and low-income communities are often the most impacted by high-fatality roads.
“They divide these communities, and often residents have to travel these roadways by bike or by foot without access to high-quality public transportation. So there is an inequity in this infrastructure,” Szczesna said.
Data for the first four months of 2022 showed more pedestrians died on Philadelphia roads so far this year than people in cars. And hit-and-runs were higher in the first four months of this year than the same timeframe in the previous two years, worrying police and other city officials.
But fatalities on Roosevelt stayed steady during the pandemic rather than increasing, Yemen said, largely because, she believes, of the pilot speed cameras.
Byrd, who co-founded the nonprofit advocacy group Families for Safe Streets, lobbied hard for the speed cameras, writing hundreds of personal letters to legislators telling them about her niece and her kids. The cameras went live at eight intersections in June 2020, but only after state legislation, a city ordinance and negotiations with the Philadelphia Parking Authority, which manages the program.
More than 224,000 warning tickets for driving more than 11 mph over the speed limit were issued in the first 30 days of a 60-day warning period, but by February 2021, that number had dropped to fewer than 17,000 tickets, according to data from the parking authority. Overall, speeding is down by more than 91% on the road, city and parking authority officials said.
Despite the impact, the cameras will sunset in 2023 unless extended by the Legislature.
The Federal Highway Administration gave states the green light this year to tap into federal funding to install speed cameras, saying they can reduce the number of injury crashes by 50%.
Byrd’s niece Samara Banks was 21 and pregnant with her first child in 2007 when she found a four-bedroom house a few blocks south of Roosevelt Boulevard.
Her family had reservations because she'd have to cross the boulevard any time she wanted to visit. But Banks' mother had just died and she needed the larger home so she could take in her four younger siblings and raise her own family.
Byrd said Banks was the kind of mom and auntie who always had something planned. “At all of the family get-togethers, she would always get all the kids in a circle and have them playing games and doing dances, or she'd make up these little skits for them to do. She always had a plan and the kids always came first,” Byrd said.
After spending a hot July day visiting and swimming and having water balloon fights with the kids, Banks decided to walk home rather than calling a cab to take her the mile (1.6 kilometers) across Roosevelt, as she usually did.
She was pushing her 7-month-old, Saa’mir Williams, and 23-month-old, Saa’sean Williams, in a double stroller. Her 4-year-old, Saa’deem Griffin, was holding onto the stroller and walking beside her.
Witnesses told police that two cars had been racing, weaving between other cars and speeding down the boulevard. One of the drivers lost control and slammed into the family, throwing Banks more than 200 feet and crumpling the stroller. She and the three children died.
Banks’ younger sister and 5-year-old son, Saa’yon Griffin, were walking ahead and survived the crash.
Officials have since installed a traffic signal and pedestrian crossing at the intersection, renamed Banks Way in honor of the young mother. The two men accused of racing were eventually convicted or pleaded guilty to charges in the deaths. One of the men was a teenager when his own mother had died crossing Roosevelt Boulevard.
“It was hard. I would tell Saa'yon he needed to be strong, and I remember there was this once he just stomped his foot and said no,” Byrd said. “He told me he was tired of being strong and he just wanted his mom and his brothers back. We all do.”
Associated Press researcher Jennifer Farrar and Race & Ethnicity Team video journalist Noreen Nasir in New York and data journalist Angeliki Kastanis in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Cobb Police came out to show their support at graduation last week for the daughter of a former officer in the department who died of COVID complications last year.
According to the department, former Cobb officer Chuck Smith died last September after contracting COVID while serving in the Cobb County School District Police Department, where he was assigned to Osborne High School.
Last Friday, his daughter Kaylee graduated from North Paulding High School with honors.
"Since her father, Officer Chuck Smith, who undoubtedly would’ve been there for this occasion could not be there, several officers with the Cobb County Police Department and Cobb County School Police were there to stand in his place to watch Kaylee walk across the stage to receive her diploma," Cobb County Police wrote on Facebook.
The department also provided a special message for the new graduate: "Congratulations Kaylee, we know your father is very proud of you. We are all very proud of you, and can’t wait to see where you go from here."

SEFFNER, Fla. — The 9-year-old boy recently rescued from a Seffner house fire has walked for the first time since the terrifying ordeal.
Earlier in May, two Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office deputies pulled Owen Ares through a window to save him from a smoke-filled bedroom at a burning home. His mother was outside, praying on her knees, when somebody shouted "We got him."
Owen suffered second-degree burns to his face and arm, as well as smoke inhalation. He was "heavily" sedated and hooked up to a ventilator when he first began undergoing treatment at Tampa General Hospital.
His lungs cleared up in the subsequent days, as his condition improved. He still has a long road ahead, but good news came Tuesday when Owen sat up and walked – with some help – for the first time since the fire.
Owen has been doing physical therapy to help prepare him to walk on his own. Loved ones confirm Owen is now able to eat some soft foods again.
Community members recently joined together to help the family rebuild their lives. About a week ago, supporters held a fundraiser at the family's store called Florida Farmhouse Market at 1020 US-92 in Seffner.
The family's house, which was 110 years old, was a total loss. Multiple cars were also destroyed.
Body camera video of the dramatic rescue was previously released by law enforcement. Below, you can see how Deputies Kevin Reich and Alexander Maldonado worked quickly to save Owen's life.
"I could not be more proud of the quick actions and bravery these deputies displayed, never giving up until they were able to pull the child to safety. It is because of their heroism that this young boy made it out alive," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a previous statement.

CROWN POINT — A Hammond man was arrested last week on child molesting charges after a 12-year-old girl told school staff she didn't want to go home because of him.
Timothy B. Montson, 25, is accused of getting into bed with the girl and fondling her overnight May 24 to 25.
He has not yet entered pleas to three felony counts of child molesting.
Police began investigating after the girl sent a message to a principal at a Hammond elementary school saying she was afraid to be at home because Montson molested her, Lake Criminal Court records state.
Police went to the girl's residence and arrested Montson.
The girl was taken to a hospital for a sexual assault examination, court records state.

As of the last week of April 2022, just over 1,100 children in the United States have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For comparison, nearly 1 million adults have died in the same time frame. Lower death and hospitalization rates among people 18 and younger may indicate that children experience COVID-19 less severely.
Despite a generally milder illness, schools have been upended during the pandemic, and children have suffered socially, emotionally, and academically from two years of shutdowns and social distancing measures. To combat more systemic disruptions and protect communities on a larger scale, the Food and Drug Administration fully authorized the Pfizer vaccine for people 16 and over and granted emergency authorization for children between 5 and 16. Neither the Moderna nor Johnson & Johnson vaccines are authorized—even on an emergency basis—for those under 18.
Citing data compiled by the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services, HeyTutor looked at vaccination rates among children in every state in the U.S. and Washington D.C. Booster shots are not yet recommended for children under 12. States are ranked by vaccination rates among children ages 5-11 as of Apr. 29, 2022.
There are 73 million children under the age of 18 in the U.S., representing almost one-quarter of the total population. Nationally, about 30% of children between the ages of 5 and 11, and 60% of children between 12 and 17 are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Still, concerns about the vaccine persist, with parents questioning its efficacy as well as both its short- and long-term side effects. And while many parents share the same concerns, the strength of those misgivings varies by demographic, geographic, and political lines, according to a recurring survey conducted by the COVID States Project. The project consisted of a multi-university group of researchers from Northeastern, Harvard, Rutgers, and Northwestern Universities. The survey polled nearly 23,000 individuals from the end of December 2021 to late January 2022.
College-educated parents are more likely to vaccinate their children than parents without a college degree, for example. And when looking at parental income as an indicator of vaccination likelihood, 81% of the highest earners—people making at least $150,000 annually—reported they are likely to vaccinate their children compared to 46% of parents earning $25,000 or less.
Parents in the Northeastern and Western U.S. are more likely to vaccinate their teenagers than parents in Midwestern and Southern states. Vaccine likelihood varies significantly between urban and rural breakdowns as well, with parents of teenagers in rural areas reporting they are less likely—by nearly 20 percentage points—to vaccinate their children.
Vaccine hesitancy is higher—and growing—among parents of children between 5 and 11. When looking at the parental political affiliation of this age bracket, 42% of Republican parents surveyed in January 2022 say they are likely to vaccinate their kids compared to 55% of Independents and 76% of Democrats. Among all three groups, the proportion of parents expressing the likelihood of vaccinating their children declined since September 2021.
Politics is playing an increasingly large and sometimes disproportionate role in communication about the COVID-19 vaccine for children. An Associated Press investigation found the anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense—run by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—more than doubled its revenue in the first year of the pandemic to $6.8 million. AP reported the group targets and spreads misinformation to people already more likely to not trust the vaccine, including mothers and Black Americans.
Since the fall of 2021, Asian and Hispanic parents are consistently more likely to vaccinate their children, while white and Black parents report a lower likelihood.
As the end of this school year approaches and administrators plan for the fall, COVID-19 vaccine mandates for students will be an ongoing conversation. Currently, four states—California, Illinois, Louisiana, and New York—as well as Washington D.C. have implemented some type of mandate that will be implemented in the fall. Nineteen states have banned them.
Read on to learn more about child vaccination rates in your state.

CROWN POINT — Gold Star dad Dana Stewart reined in until the end of his speech the emotions of losing his son, Ian, a U.S. Marine on Dec. 12, 2004.
It was then that Stewart couldn't contain his deep grief.
"I miss him," Stewart said.
Stewart, of Crown Point, was one of several speakers, local and state officials, veterans and others who gathered Monday at Historic Maplewood Cemetery to remember fallen soldiers, sailors and Marines.
The Memorial Day service began with a parade that included local Boy Scouts and the Crown Point High School Royal Regiment band.
The parade started at the Cal Ripken parking lot and ended at the cemetery entrance.
Opening remarks at the service were made by American Legion Post 20 Kevin Dvorak.
Dvorak spoke of the history of Memorial Day, formerly known as Decoration Day, following the Civil War.

The holiday has continued to be a day to honor with flags and flowers the gravesites of those who paid a personal price for us and our nation, Dvorak said.
The loss of servicemen and servicewomen through the history of the United States is 1.2 million, Dvorak said.
He asked everyone at the service to later in the day pause at 3 p.m. to reflect and remember those who served.
"Thank a veteran today. Thank them for making our lives better," Dvorak said.
Crown Point Mayor David Uran spoke of honoring at the service a melting pot of sorts since all branches of the military come together.
Uran thanked those who volunteered their time to put together the service and also thanked those who came to the service to honor the military who sacrificed their lives.
"Your presence today is a tribute to the lost troops and their families," Uran said.
Uran spoke about losing his own grandfather, who served in World War II.
Uran read a letter, signed by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in honor of his grandfather's ultimate service to his country.
"This is what today is all about," Uran said.
Stewart, who had also lost his grandfather to war, said his son, Ian, was only 17 years old when he decided in 2000 to join the U.S. Marines.
"I told him that our country is at peace now but that may not always be the case," Stewart said.
His son joined the service and was in boot camp on Sept. 11, 2001.
Ian was later sent to Iraq, and it was there that he lost his life on Dec. 12, 2004 when Ian was shot and killed by a terrorist.
Ian's assignment had been to train Iraq soldiers.
"On one of his last phone calls, home he told us he understands why he was there. I'm thankful he could see a point," Stewart said.
Many veterans were in attendance at the service, including retired U.S. Navy Commander David Stanton, of Lafayette.
Stanton, who grew up in Crown Point, said he's been coming to the Crown Point service since 1971
"I've only missed eight times, and those were when I was in active duty," Stanton said.
Stanton said he comes to his hometown each year because he loves Crown Point and Memorial Day.
"It's the most important secular day of the year," Stanton said.
Veteran Catherine Miller, of Crown Point, who served in the U.S. Air Force for 22 years, said she comes to the service each year.
"Just to remember my fellow servicemen who died," Miller said.
Mary Ann Graden, of Crown Point, who serves as an American Legion honor guard, said she has been coming to the Memorial Day service for more than 30 years.
Graden said her late husband, Donald Graden, served in both World War II and the Korean War and is buried at the cemetery.
"It's a sad day but a happy day because he's at peace," Graden said.
In addition to her husband's military service, Graden had a brother who served in the U.S. Navy and two grandsons who served or are serving in the military.
"We have a lot of military in our family," Graden said.
Music was provided by the Crown Point High School Royal Regiment, which performed a patriotic salute and the Star-Spangled Banner.
The service closed with a prayer by Perry McLemore, of Southlake Christian Church, a salute to the dead by Post 20 and Taps.

GARY — The new "This is Gary" awards aim to highlight contributions to the Steel City and rewrite narratives about the city.
Joslyn Kelly created the Gary Trailblazer Community Impact Awards and announced the first crop of nominees.
"I was so overwhelmed by the response to the creation of this award," Kelly said. "The nominees are diverse and have all made great contributions to our great city."
Nominees include the Rev. Dwight Gardner, Takia "KiKi" Smith, Dr. Janet Seabrook, Dr. Mike McGee, Elder Carrell Cargle, Jerla Freeman Disco, Bahiyah Shabazz, Mark Spencer, Earline Rogers, Wallace D. Johnson, Kendra S Johnson, Coach Earl Smith, Carmen McKee, Louis Robb, Kevin Bradley, Catisha Toney, McKenya Dilworth-Smith, Linda Jones, Chelsea Whittington, Ludeen Kilgore, Saundra Starling, Shirley Moorehead, Dominique Wilson, Bentley Ellis and Brandon Bee Bowen.
An awards ceremony will take place June 25 at the Hard Rock Casino in Gary.
“'This is Gary’ was created to educate, collaborate, motivate, and be the change that many talk about, but few take the steps to do,” Kelly said. “We are carefully curating events to address the community, starting with the uplifting and motivating of our youth, capturing the energy of transforming physical spaces and places, and celebrating these same physical spaces and places connected to the story of our rich heritage. We will conclude with a party on purpose with a purpose and a finale of praise and worship with a Gospel Explosion concert.”
She is planning several events in conjunction with the awards such as a Youth Empowerment Day, Be the Change Day, Heritage Day, Vision Ball and Gospel Explosion Concert featuring a mass choir. A coffee table book featuring the stories of Gary natives also will be released.
“I am calling on our community to embrace the vision to transform the current narrative of our city,” said Kelly. “This transformation involves the whole village, and the reward will be great. Together, we can produce and showcase what’s good while working towards being the change.”
Joseph S. Pete is a Lisagor Award-winning business reporter who covers steel, industry, unions, the ports, retail, banking and more. The Indiana University grad has been with The Times since 2013 and blogs about craft beer, culture and the military.
"This building will once again illuminate with light on the southernmost shores of Lake Michigan, not with the fire and fury of the open hearth but with the amber glow and hypnotic flow of iron ore."

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A couple Clackamas County residents are big lottery winners after the drawing on May 18.
A Wilsonville woman said her late mother helped her win the $5.6 million Megabucks jackpot.
Kathleen Whitney was making invitations for her mother’s celebration of life when she remembered she had a lottery ticket. After scanning her ticket with the Lottery’s app, Whitney said “Hollywood lights and balloons” started to appear on her phone screen.
When she told her husband she won $5,600, he quickly corrected her and exclaimed “No. You won $5.6 million!”
“I can’t help but think that my mom was part of us winning,” said Whitney.
Whitney plans to use her one-time lump sum of $1,904,000.24 on home remodeling, paying off a few bills and travel.
Meanwhile, Larry Meisel of Milwaukie won the Win for Life top prize of $1,000 a week for life.
After playing the same numbers for the past five years, Meisel swapped out one number before this drawing — his age. With Meisel recently turning 73, he played 11-28-47-73.
When given the choice between a once-a-year $52,000 prize or $1,000 a week for life, Meisel settled for the weekly payments.

Mortgage rates dipped for the second week in a row, but applications for mortgages stayed flat and for refinanced loans dropped.
“Currently, higher rates, low inventory, and high prices are keeping prospective buyers out of the market,” Joel Kan, the associative vice president of economic and industry forecasting for the Mortgage Bankers Association, said in a statement.
Rates continued to top what they have been over the last two years, with a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 5.46%. That was down from 5.49%.
Applications for a new mortgage were flat compared to the week before and down 16% compared to a year ago. Refinancing applications have fallen in the nine of the last 10 weeks, Kan noted. Compared to January of 2022, mortgage refinancing is down 66%, he said.
Higher mortgage rates and soaring home prices left sales of new single-family homes at a two-year low in April. First-time buyers were forced out of the market. Sales dropped 16% to 591,000 homes, Reuters reported, even as there is record low housing inventory.
A similar trend prevailed with the sales of previously owned homes, which also fell to a two-year low in April.
Builders, facing shortages and higher prices, have been unable to begin construction on all of the homes already approved.
To help you stay current on the market, ZeroDown compiled a weekly real estate market report in Dallas, TX metro area using data from Redfin. Statistics are as of the four weeks ending May 22, 2022. Metros with more than 50 homes sold during this time period were considered for metro-level rankings for each statistic.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Sweet tooth, everyone has one… well, unless you don’t, but that’s okay.
This one is for those with a craving for all things sweet. Mashed has released a new report saying the best bakeries in every state according to online reviews.
Because we love North Texas so much and are competitive, we wanted to see if North Texas made the list and sadly no, but that’s okay, there are still a lot of great bakeries in our area.
According to the report, though, the best bakery in Texas is Mi Tierra Café y Panadería in San Antonio. This bakery has a storied past, rich in character.
As stated on their website, this bakery dates all the way back to 1941, when Pedro and Cruz Cortez opened a humble, three-table cafe for workers and farmers in the area. Since then the establishment has grown and seats more than 500 people.
Talk about a Texas icon. To see what bakeries are the best in other states, visit mashed.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone; now we’ve come to the end of May and the start of June with some potential storms and showers to begin the month, according to the National Weather Service center in Fort Worth.
To end May, on May 31, it’s going to be a warm Tuesday across the regions with temperatures reaching into the 90s with some winds from the south ranging from 15-25 mph. “Morning clouds will diminish around midday, leading to mostly clear skies and plenty of sunshine through the afternoon. Ongoing storm activity to the north and west may extend into the Red River area Tuesday evening and night,” the center said.
As Wednesday comes into the picture, so do some chances for stormy weather. NWS Fort Worth says, “Some occasional breaks in the warm, dry, and windy weather may occur during the middle to latter part of next week as a weak cold front eases south into the area and brings periodic chances for showers and storms. The severe weather probabilities are fairly low, but some storms could still be strong with gusty winds.”
Thursday will see some isolated to scattered showers and storms as a cold front enters the region. Some strong storms are possible, but, “A wash-out is not expected.” A small chance of storms will be present Friday as the front stalls.
“Turning cooler to end the work week before the hot temperatures return to North and Central TX. Expect highs to return to mid/upper 90s by the weekend.”

DENTON, Texas — Your friendly neighborhood Denton Spiderman is on a mission: a mission to help as many children as possible in Uvalde, Texas when he visits in June.
"God put this in my life to give it," said Jeremy Sons.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, personal trainer Sons and his wife started their own superhero business after his gym shutdown. He and his wife, who is a third-grade school teacher, started doing public appearances in Denton for the character "The Denton Spiderman."
Since starting the business two years ago to spread love and happy memories, they've never charged anyone and made their appearances 100% donation-based.
Now, the couple plans to turn their entertainment into a blessing in Uvalde.
"It hit me more because when you hear of a mass shooting at a school when your wife's a schoolteacher, it sets alarms off and something has to change," said Sons.
After posting help for a June 12 appearance in Uvalde, the Denton Spiderman has collected hundreds of toys and other giveaways.
In fact, donations filled the Spidey Mobile three times. More than one of their rooms at home is packed with toys, but they are hoping for even more donations.
Some supporters are fulfilling their Amazon wish list for Uvalde kids. You can learn more about The Denton Spiderman at their website.
Jackie Johnson came across the Denton Spiderman while visiting Denton from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She and her children posed for photos in downtown near the square.
Johnson believes in Spiderman's mission.
"I think him being out in the community will bring some light back during this dark time," said Johnson.
Sons said, "Sunday, June 12th, and put Spider-Man on top of the Spidey mobile and just drive the streets, pulling a trailer full of toys."
The goal for the Denton Spiderman is to basically provide a distraction for kids in Uvalde, which includes some Spidey surprises.
Part of the Denton Spiderman's presentation includes getting sprayed with silly string. It's an auto laugh maker, too.
But Spiderman isn't the only one in North Texas hoping to be a blessing to Uvalde children.
"We have to support," said Rev. Kyev P. Tatum, "If we were going to be a blessing."
Toys are also part of the blessing the Fort Worth pastor at New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church has planned for Uvalde.
He visited Uvalde within 48 hours of the shooting that left two teachers and 19 students dead to learn how he could help. He prays their fundraiser is successful, too, after visiting with other pastors in the small Texas city.
He's also looking for volunteers with a heart to help.
Tatum said, "We'll get our assignments based on what they're telling us, listening, what they're telling us, learning what they need, and then going to work. But we can't do that without feet, finances and people who'll be faithful."
Tatum and other local clergy are inviting the public to a Circle of Compassion Bowl planning meeting for Thursday, June 2, at 11 a.m. with the Ministers of Justice Coalition at New Mount Rose at 2864 Mississippi Avenue in Fort Worth.
Anyone who wants more information can contact Tatum at 817-966-7525, or email kptatum1@gmail.com.
Although the pastor is on a separate mission than the Denton Spiderman, both believe they've heard from heaven to help.

NORMAL — Rivian Automotive received its final property tax abatement from the company’s 2016 economic incentive agreement with the town of Normal.
In a brief meeting, the Normal Town Council voted unanimously Monday to approve an ordinance abating the levy for Rivian’s 2021 property taxes, resulting in an estimated $202,000 reduction in property tax revenue for this fiscal year.
According to council documents, the revenue represents $142,000 from the town’s general fund and $60,000 from Normal Public Library.
The incentive agreement included expense and employment benchmarks Rivian was required to meet. For this year, the electric vehicle company was required to invest at least $40.5 million in project expenses and employ 500 full-time employees with an average salary “equal to greater than the average weekly salary in McLean County as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.”
The Bloomington-Normal Economic Development Council determined Rivian, which now exceeds 5,000 employees in west Normal, had met the requirements to qualify for the 2021 tax abatement.
Normal is one of several taxing bodies to participate in the 2016 economic incentive agreement with Rivian. The McLean County Unit 5 school board, the Heartland Community College Board of Trustees and the Bloomington Normal Airport Authority Board of Commissioners are among those that have voted to approve the 2021 property tax abatements thus far.
Trustees Kevin McCarthy and Stan Nord were absent from the special meeting held Monday.
5 summer-ready recipes to try this week
Summer is here, unofficially at least. So this week's recipe roundup features meals that are perfect for the warm weather ahead.
Fire up the grills; Memorial Day weekend fast approaches. We’re gathering outside to sear some steaks and toast summer’s arrival.
With sausage, halloumi, pita bread, veggies, and more, this spread isn’t just a combination of my favorite grilled foods — it’s a strategic assortment of flavors and textures that guarantees every bite is delicious.
Omitting meat and heavy melting cheese, and swapping in roasted vegetables, gives the classic crowd-pleaser some warm weather appeal.
Steaming fresh clams with garlic, miso, and wine means that when the clams release their juice, everything combines into a quick clam broth that is perfect for tossing with pasta.
In China, salt and pepper shrimp is traditionally made with tongue-numbing Sichuan peppercorns. This recipes opts for a combo of easier-to-find white and black pepper.

Police say an employee at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution reported uniforms, an ID badge and duty belt stolen from a truck while parked in Lincoln on Friday night.
Sgt. Chris Vollmer said the victim made a report the next afternoon.
He said the 28-year-old told police he ate at a restaurant at 62nd and O Street the night before, then began noticing items missing from his pickup, including uniform pants, work shirts, a ballcap, ID badge and duty belt.
The loss was estimated at $3,100.
Police saw no damage to the truck.
Vollmer said there are no suspects, but the investigation is ongoing.
Tom Casady's list of the 10 most infamous crimes in Lincoln history
Crimes of the times
This is simply one man’s perspective from the early 21st century (first written in 2010). I had to make a decision about crimes that occurred at locations that are inside the city today, but were outside our corporate limits at the time they occurred. I chose the latter.
Before beginning, though, I have to deal with three crimes that stand apart: the murders of three police officers in Lincoln. I’m not quite sure how to place them in a list. They all had huge impacts on the community, and on the police department in particular. Because these are my colleagues, I deal with them separately and in chronological order.
Patrolman Marion Francis Marshall
Shot in the shadow of the new Nebraska State Capital, Gov. Charles Bryan came to his aid and summoned additional help.
Lt. Frank Soukup
Marion Marshall was technically not a Lincoln police officer, so Lt. Soukup was actually the first Lincoln police officer killed on duty. One of his colleagues who was present at the motel and involved in the gunbattle, Paul Jacobsen, went on to enjoy a long career and command rank at LPD, influencing many young charges (like me) and leaving his mark on the culture of the agency.
Lt. Paul Whitehead
In the space of a few months, three LPD officers died in the line of duty. Frank Soukup had been murdered, and George Welter had died in a motorcycle crash. Paul Whitehead's partner, Paul Merritt, went on to command rank, and like Paul Jacobsen left an indelible mark at LPD and the community.
No. 1: Starkweather
The subject of several thinly disguised movie plots and a Springsteen album, the Starkweather murders are clearly the most infamous crime in Lincoln’s history — so far. One of the first mass murderers of the mass media age, six of Charles Starkweather’s 11 victims were killed inside the city of Lincoln, and the first was just on the outskirts of town. I didn’t live in Lincoln at the time, but my wife was a first-grader at Riley Elementary School and has vivid memories of the city gripped by fear in the days between the discovery of the Bartlett murders and Starkweather’s capture in Wyoming.
The case caused quite an uproar. There was intense criticism of the police department and sheriff’s office for not capturing Starkweather earlier in the week after the discovery of the Bartletts' bodies. Ultimately, Mayor Bennett Martin and the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners retained a retired FBI agent, Harold G. Robinson, to investigate the performance of local law enforcement. His report essentially exonerated the local law officers and made a few vanilla recommendations for improving inter-agency communication and training.
Now I know that many readers are mumbling to themselves “how obvious.” Hold your horses, though. It’s not quite as obvious as you might think. I had two experiences that drove this fact home to me. The first was a visit by a small group of journalism students. Only one member of the class had any idea, and her idea was pretty vague. You need to remember that the Starkweather murders were in 1957 and 1958 — before the parents of many college students were even born.
The second experience was a visit by a Cub Scout den. I was giving the kids a tour of the police station one evening. We were in the front lobby waiting for everyone to arrive. As I entertained the boys, I told the moms and dads that they might enjoy looking in the corner of the Sheriff’s Office display case to see the contents of Starkweather’s wallet — discovered a couple of years ago locked up in the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office safe. After a few minutes, one of the confused fathers asked me who Starkweather was, and why it was significant.
No. 2: Lincoln National Bank
On the morning of Sept. 17, 1930, a dark blue Buick carrying six men pulled up in front of the Lincoln National Bank at the northwest corner of 12th and O streets. Five of the men entered the bank, while a sixth stood outside by the Buick, cradling a machine gun. Observing the unusual events, a passerby called the police. The officer who responded, Forrest Shappaugh, was casually instructed by the machine-gun-toting lookout to just keep going, which he wisely did. Returning with reinforcements, he found that the robbers had already made good on their getaway, netting $2.7 million in cash and negotiable securities.
Ultimately, three of the six suspects were arrested. Tommy O’Connor and Howard Lee were convicted and sentenced. Jack Britt was tried twice but not convicted by a hung jury. Gus Winkeler, a member of Al Capone’s gang, winged a deal with County Attorney Max Towle to avoid prosecution in exchange for orchestrating the recovery of $600,000 in bearer bonds. The following year, Winkeler was murdered in Chicago, the victim of a gangland slaying. The final two robbers were never identified.
The Lincoln National Bank robbery stood as the largest cash bank robbery in the United States for many decades. It precipitated major changes at the Lincoln Police Department. Chief Peter Johnstone was rapidly “retired” after the robbery, the department’s fleet was upgraded to add the first official patrol cars, the full force was armed and a shotgun squad was organized. Forty-four years later when I was hired at LPD, the echo of the Lincoln National Bank robbery was still evident in daily bank opening details, and in the Thomspon submachine guns and Reising rifles that detectives grabbed whenever the robbery alarm sounded at headquarters.
No. 3: The Last Posse
My first inkling about this crime came when I was the chief deputy sheriff. One of my interns, a young man named Ron Boden (who became a veteran deputy sheriff), had been doing some research on Lancaster County’s only known lynching, in 1884. I came across a reference in the biography of the sheriff at the time, Sam Melick, to the murder of the Nebraska Penitentiary warden and subsequent prison break. Melick had been appointed interim warden after the murder and instituted several reforms.
Several years later, a colleague, Sgt. Geoff Marti, loaned me a great book, Gale Christianson’s "Last Posse," that told the story of the 1912 prison break in gory, haunting and glorious detail.
To make a long story short, convict Shorty Gray and his co-conspirators shot and killed Warden James Delahunty, a deputy warden and a guard on Wednesday, March 13, 1912. They then made their break — right into the teeth of a brutal Nebraska spring blizzard. Over the course to the next few days, a posse pursued. During the pursuit, the escapees carjacked a young farmer with his team and wagon. As the posse closed in, a gunfight broke out and the hostage was shot and killed in the exchange, along with two of the three escapees.
There was plenty of anger among the locals in the Gretna-Springfield vicinity about the death of their native son, and a controversy raged over the law enforcement tactics that brought about his demise. Lancaster County Sheriff Gus Hyers was not unsullied by the inquiry, although it appears from my prospect a century later that the fog of war led to the tragedy.
Christianson, a professor of history at Indiana State University who died earlier this year, notes the following on the flyleaf:
“For anyone living west of the Mississippi in 1912, the biggest news that fateful year was a violent escape from the Nebraska state penitentiary planned and carried out by a trio of notorious robbers and safe blowers.”
Bigger news on half the continent than the sinking of the Titanic during the same year would certainly qualify this murder-escape as one of the most infamous Lincoln crimes in history.
No. 4: Rock Island wreck
The Aug. 10, 1894, wreck of a Rock Island train on the southwest outskirts of Lincoln was almost lost in the mist of time until it was resurrected in the public consciousness by author Joel Williams, who came across the story while conducting research for his historical novel, "Barrelhouse Boys."
The wreck was determined to be the result of sabotage to the tracks, perhaps an attempt to derail the train as a prelude to robbery. Eleven people died in the crash and ensuing fire, making this a mass murder, to be sure. G.W. Davis was arrested and convicted of the crime but later received a full pardon. The story was told in greater detail earlier this year by the Lincoln Journal Star.
A historical marker is along the Rock Island Trail in Wilderness Park, accessible only by foot or bike from the nearest trail access points about a half-mile away at Old Cheney Road on the north, or 14th Street on the south.
Here’s the big question that remains unanswered: Was there really significant evidence to prove that George Washington Davis committed the crime, or was he just a convenient scapegoat? The fact that he received a gubernatorial pardon 10 years later leads me to believe that the evidence must have been unusually weak. If he was railroaded, then my second question is this: who really pried loose the tracks with the 40-pound crowbar found at the scene?
No. 5: Commonwealth
On Nov. 1, 1983, the doors to Nebraska’s largest industrial savings and loan company were closed and Commonwealth was declared insolvent. The 6,700 depositors with $65 million at stake would never be fully compensated for their loss, ultimately receiving about 59 cents on the dollar for their deposits, which they all mistakenly believed were insured up to $30,000 through the Nebraska Depository Insurance Guaranty Corporation, which was essentially an insurance pool with assets of only $3 million.
The case dominated Nebraska news for months. The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of three members of the prominent Lincoln family that owned the institution, the resignation of the director of the State Department of Banking and the impeachment of the Nebraska attorney general and the suspension of his license to practice law. State and federal litigation arising from the failure of Commonwealth drug on for years.
At the Lincoln Police Department, the Commonwealth failure led to the formation of a specialized white-collar crime detail, now known as the Technical Investigations Unit. At the time, municipal police departments in the United States had virtually no capacity for investigating financial crime and fraud of this magnitude, and we quickly became well known for our expertise in this area. The early experience served LPD very well in the ensuring years.
No. 6: Candice Harms
Candi Harms never came home from visiting her boyfriend on Sept. 22, 1992. Her parents reported her as a missing person the following morning, and her car was found abandoned in a cornfield north of Lincoln later in the day. Weeks went by before her remains were found southeast of Lincoln.
Scott Barney and Roger Bjorklund were convicted in her abduction and murder. Barney is in prison serving a life term. Bjorklund died in prison in 2001. Intense media attention surrounded the lengthy trial of Roger Bjorklund, for which a jury was brought in from Cheyenne County as an alternative to a change of venue. I have no doubt that the trial was a life-changing event for a group of good citizens from Sidney, who did their civic duty.
I was the Lancaster County sheriff at the time, involved both in the investigation and in the trial security. It was at about this time that the cellular telephone was becoming a consumer product, and I have often thought that this brutal crime probably spurred a lot of purchases. During my career, this is probably the second-most-prominent Lincoln crime in terms of the sheer volume of media coverage.
No. 7: Jon Simpson and Jacob Surber
A parent’s worst nightmare unfolded in September 1975 when these two boys, ages 12 and 13, failed to return from the Nebraska State Fair. The boys were the victims of abduction and murder. The case was similar to a string of other murders of young boys in the Midwest, and many thought that these cases were related -- the work of a serial killer. Although an arrest was made in the case here in Lincoln, the charges were eventually dismissed. William Guatney was released and has since died.
No. 8: John Sheedy
Saloon and gambling house owner John Sheedy was gunned down outside his home at 1211 P St. in January 1891. The case of Sheedy, prominent in Lincoln’s demiworld, became the talk of the town when his wife, Mary, and her alleged lover and accomplice, Monday McFarland, were arrested. Both were acquitted at trial. The Sheedy murder is chronicled in a great interactive multimedia website, Gilded Age Plains City, an online version that builds upon an article published in 2001 by Timothy Mahoney of the University of Nebraska.
No. 9: Patricia McGarry and Catherine Brooks
The bodies of these two friends were found in a Northeast Lincoln duplex in August 1977. Their murderer, Robert E. Williams, was the subject of a massive Midwest manhunt during the following week. Before his capture, he committed a third murder in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and raped, shot and left for dead a victim who survived in Minnesota. He is the last man to be executed in Nebraska, sent to the electric chair in 1997.
No. 10: Judge William M. Morning
District Court Judge William Morning was murdered in February 1924. He was shot on the bench by an unhappy litigant in a divorce case. His court reporter, Minor Bacon, was also shot, but a notebook in his breast pocket deflected the bullet and saved his life.
Many other crimes
Choosing Lincoln's 10 most infamous crimes was a challenge. Although the top two were easy, the picture quickly became clouded. We tend, of course, to forget our history rather quickly. Many of the crimes I felt were among the most significant are barely remembered today, if not completely forgotten.
Some readers will take issue with my list. In choosing 10, here are the others I considered, in no particular order. They are all murders:
-- Mary O'Shea
-- Nancy Parker
-- Charles Mulholland
-- Victoria Lamm and Janet Mesner
-- Martina McMenamin
-- Regina Bos (presumably murdered)
-- Patty Webb
-- Marianne Mitzner
I also thought about the five murder-suicides in which a mother or father killed multiple family members before taking their own life. Though tragic, these crimes did not command the same kind of attention as the others, perhaps because there was no lengthy investigation, no tantalizing whodunit, no stranger-killer, nor any of the details that come out in the coverage of a major trial.

San Francisco music festivals don't get much more beloved than Stern Grove.
Now in its 85th year, the free summer concert series has been a staple in the Bay Area, but its status was put in jeopardy last year after a flood severely damaged the park grounds. Thankfully, renovations are nearing completion, and the reopening party is going to be one to remember.
The June 12 kickoff features two historic Bay Area acts — rap legend Too $hort and prolific horn section Tower of Power — both of whom were originally scheduled to perform for the 2021 season finale. The rest of the lineup was announced in unconventional (and accidental) fashion with an advertisement on Muni.
Traditionally, the Stern Grove concerts were first come, first serve. As a result, attendees would arrive in the early morning hours to secure a parcel of grass for picnic blankets and coolers. That changed with the pandemic, which led the organizers to launch an online reservation system. Tickets are still free, and go on sale 12 days before each show, with additional tickets released throughout the week prior to the event.
Ticket reservations will open for the June 12 event at 2 p.m. at Stern Grove's website.

A great grandfather and a historic military career: Tuskegee airman Asa D. Herring, Jr. remembered
Former U.S. fighter pilot and Tuskegee airman, Asa D. Herring, Jr. died Friday at his home in Phoenix "surrounded by his family," a family member told The Arizona Republic.
"He was a wonderful man and has the greatest legacy to leave behind, not only for American history but for our family," said Jenna Herring, his granddaughter. "He just lived a life of honor. We always looked up to him. He was just the greatest grandfather."
'Grandpa mode'
His grandchildren looked up to Herring.
"To me, he was the epitome of black excellence and the American dream," said Jenna Herring. "You know, he was able to overcome so much, and still through all his struggles, he always remained neutral through politics. It was never black and white, it was always do the right thing."
Herring is preceded in death by his wife, Honor Herring and his parents, Asa D. Herring, Sr. and Lucy S. Herring. He is survived by his two sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
His granddaughter, Martina Blasingame, said he didn't often speak about his historic military service unless asked.
"When we hung out, if you wanted to know stories about his past and his life and his Tuskegee career, you had to ask him questions to pry it out of him," Blasingame said. "Otherwise, he was grandpa mode and we played puzzles and ate ice cream together. "
According to Blasingame, Herring "suffered from dementia" but had a great long-term memory of his life.
"Even at the end of his life, he remembered his past and he could tell you several stories even though they were from decades ago," said Blasingame. "His short-term memory wasn't so great but his long-term memory, just being able to tell you about his past, was sharp and on point."

22 years in the military with one break
Herring volunteered for military service in June 1949 and remained on active duty in the U.S. Air Force until June 1970 when he retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, according to a statement from Archer-Ragsdale Arizona Chapter, a non-profit organization that aims to preserve and honor the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.
As a student at Tuskegee Institute's Aircraft Maintenance program, Herring began active duty status on Dec. 27, 1944, as an aviation cadet.
When it became clear that World War II was in its final stages and Germany had surrendered, the "Tuskegee Experiment" was one of many other flying schools scheduled to be eliminated. Because of segregation policies in the military and the desire to further his education, Herring chose to be honorably discharged from the program in 1946.
"I did not want to be in a segregated military, so that is the principal reason I left," he said in a 2013 article from Luke Air Force Base.
After he was discharged, Herring graduated from several technical schools and received his credentials from the Civil Aeronautics Administration as a certified Aircraft and Engine Mechanic and Aircraft Ground Instructor. Despite his certifications, he was unable to obtain employment with an airline or fixed base operator, said the Archer-Ragsdale Arizona Chapter in a statement.
When the Air Force became its own autonomous branch of the military and segregation was banned in the military, Herring volunteered for military service in June 1949.
In his 22 years of military service, Herring served in England, Korea, Germany, Vietnam and worked other assignments worldwide.
He was the first Black Squadron Commander at Luke Air Force Base and trained pilots from several European countries in the F-104G Jet Fighter Gunnery Program.
To honor Asa D. Herring, Jr.'s life and legacy, his family is asking that people donate to Archer-Ragsdale Arizona Chapter's various scholarship funds to help further the education of high school students looking to pursue careers in aviation, science, technology, engineering, math, and various other disciplines.

WOODLAND, Calif — A Woodland man was arrested after a fire burned burned portions of the Woodland Public Library.
According to the Woodland Police Department, miscellaneous items were gathered and burned next to the Woodland Public Library around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday, May 31. Police and fire reports said the fire swiftly burned up the side of the wall.
Also, according to the Woodland Police Department, those who called in to report the incident mentioned the suspect wearing a red sweatshirt, walking away from the area of the fire. As police investigated the area, they found the suspect who matched the description and arrested Joel Michel, a 27-year-old Woodland resident, on charges of arson.
Michel had set a recliner or piece of furniture on fire, which seemed to have started the overall fire, according to Sergeant Damsel with the Woodland Police Department.
At the time of the fire, the library was closed and there was no activity around the building in the morning, so there was no threat to the surrounding area.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) – News Channel 11 viewers have been reporting an increase in bear sightings over the past week.
Photos and security camera footage have spotted black bears trekking across front yards and even coming up onto porches.
Officials with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency told News Channel 11 that the increased sightings are typical for this time of year. They attribute the increase to the region’s proximity to The Cherokee National Forest and the fact that summertime berries have yet to ripen.
Due to the limitation on berries, wildlife officials say this is leading bears out of the woods and into society in search of an easy meal. Whether it be your leftover dinner in your curbside trashcan, birdseed on your porch or pet food outdoors, they come for it.
Matthew Cameron, a spokesperson for TWRA, said it’s crucial people do not make an effort to feed these bears.
“Most people know that, they’ve heard that. Don’t feed the bears,” Cameron said. “They do a good job at it, but there’s always a percentage of the population that thinks the bears are starving or they’re hungry, so they try to do their part to try and ‘save’ them and help them, but they’re only compounding the problem.”
He strongly recommends securing trash and putting away any type of food that is outside on your property.
Cameron also said when you do encounter a bear, your presence will usually spook them and they will run away. However, that is not always the case.
If a bear approaches you, Cameron said to try to intimidate it by making yourself appear larger, making a loud noise or using bear spray.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (WJHL) – On Monday night, officials with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) confirmed that 23-year-old Samantha Hess died on South Holston Lake. It was a busy time out on the water as South Holston saw an increase in boaters for the holiday weekend.
“The water’s a very unforgiving environment, and while we’re out there to enjoy ourselves and have a good time, you could be seriously injured or you could die in an incident,” said Matthew Cameron, TWRA spokesperson.
Officers told News Channel 11 that she appeared to be out on the water with friends for the holiday.
“The deck boat, which is similar to a pontoon boat and has a deck on it and one single haul underneath it, and the personal watercraft were traveling together, and they were in the same party so somehow they crossed paths with one another, and the man was injured and the young lady lost her life,” said Cameron.
He said investigators are still questioning those who were there to find out exactly what happened. When asked about charges, he said anything is possible but it’s still early in the investigation.
“The officers will investigate it and present the case to the district attorney’s office and let them see if there is any culpability involved, and if so, charges could be placed,” said Cameron.
Reports indicate Hess was a passenger on the personal watercraft involved in the collision, and she was wearing a life jacket. The driver of the watercraft was airlifted to Johnson City Medical Center with serious injuries, and he was also wearing a life jacket at the time of the crash.
When accidents like this happen, especially one resulting in the death of someone so young, officials say it takes a toll on both the community and the officers who worked the scene.
“We’re trained to have nerves of steel, but we’re human at the same time, and it really pulls on your heartstrings when you deal with young folks and you have to go and make death notifications to families when people are just out there trying to enjoy themselves,” said Cameron.
In total this holiday weekend, TWRA reported two fatalities, two incidents with serious injuries, one event of property damage and 25 boating under the influence charges.

Jury selection began Tuesday for the trial of a Connecticut state senator and his 2018 campaign treasurer on federal fraud charges alleging they lied in efforts to obtain nearly $180,000 in public funds for his election bid.
Bridgeport Democratic Sen. Dennis Bradley and Jessica Martinez, his 2018 campaign treasurer, began picking jurors in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport, where their trial could begin as soon as Wednesday. Both deny the allegations and have pleaded not guilty.
Federal prosecutors allege Bradley and Martinez improperly received about $84,000 from the Connecticut Citizens’ Election Program for the 2018 Democratic primary for the Senate seat, then improperly sought to obtain another $95,700 for the general election that year.
Authorities say in court documents that Bradley and Martinez made “material misrepresentations and omissions to hide prohibited campaign activities” that would have barred them from receiving the public campaign funds.
Bradley knew his personal spending was limited to $2,000, and he and Martinez — a former Bridgeport school board member — took various steps to conceal the violation, prosecutors said.
Another former campaign worker for Bradley, Tina Manus of Stratford, pleaded guilty to a wire fraud conspiracy charge last year and agreed to testify against Bradley and Martinez.

A New Jersey used car dealer pled guilty Tuesday to a $45 million scheme to sell personal protective equipment in the darkest days of the pandemic to New York City at a massive markup.
Ronald Romano of Manalapan pled guilty in federal court in Manhattan to conspiracy to violate the Defense Production Act. Prosecutors alleged Romano tried to sell 3M-brand face masks to NYC officials at a 400 percent markup over list price -- even though he was not an authorized distributor and did not actually have the masks.
The city did not pursue the purchase, after contacting 3M and verifying Romano's company was not a certified reseller.
Romano, 60, will be sentenced in September.

Mauldin, Simpsonville and Fountain Inn are proposing very different budgets
As the Golden Strip prepares for growth in fiscal year 2023, the three cities are planning to operate with very different budgets.
While the proposed budget in Mauldin shows a 0.02% decrease from the year before and Fountain Inn's proposed budget dips 5%, Simpsonville's proposal reflects nearly 10% growth over last year.
Investments in infrastructure and staffing are included in each city, though not all of those city employees are guaranteed pay raises.
Golden Strip development:New tavern, new QuickTrip, new headquarters come to Mauldin, Simpsonville and Fountain Inn
None of the cities plan on tax increases, but Fountain Inn has two proposed fee increases in its budget.
All three cities have held first readings on their respective budgets, but public hearings are to come, and the budgets must pass second readings before they take effect this summer.

SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. — A man from Tyler, Texas, drowned in Flint Creek, near Siloam Springs, Arkansas, over the Memorial Day weekend.
According to the Grand River Dam Authority Police Department (GRDA), 42-year-old Jose James Flores drowned while trying to rescue his son after the son jumped into the water from the top of the Flint Creek Dam.
GRDA says crews received a call about Flores drowning at approximately 1:09 p.m. Saturday, May 28.
Both Flores and his son were underwater for five to seven minutes before being rescued by a group of citizens in the area. Both received CPR from the group of people at the scene. They were able to revive the son, but Flores was taken to the Siloam Springs Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
GRDA says it is continuing to investigate the incident and no further details are available at this time.

JACKSON -- The duck wranglers -- both official and aspirational -- were out in force Sunday during the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce’s 32nd Wildquack Duck Race & Music Festival that saw thousands of plastic, brightly colored waterfowl temporarily filling the Wildcat River.
A fundraiser for the chamber of commerce and several local charities, the festival took place under a warm, bright sun and clear blue sky and also included food, kid’s activities, live music, a silent auction and arts-and-crafts vendors.
The real draw, however, was the duck races, which began on the upriver side of the cobblestone bridge over Route 16-A and which ended a quarter mile or so downstream.
The ducks were released in three waves: the "Big" and “Olympic” sized ducks went first, followed by 2,500 regular ducks.
The first regular duck to cross the finish line won its purchaser $1,000 cash, which was the same prize as for the Big ducks, although only 25 of them were offered for sale. There were 130 Olympic ducks at $20 each, with the winner receiving half of all sales, potentially up to $1,300.
Before the races, a parade of tie-dyed shirted members of the Stuck Duck Patrol that was led by event mascot Wildquack from Jackson Village onto to the cobblestone bridge. The mission of the Stuck Duck Patrol is to make sure that the ducks flow freely down the river, which meant getting into the river and using their hands, sticks, and other implements to get the ducks out of the many eddies where they collected.
In addition to the sanctioned wranglers, there were dozens of other people in the river when the ducks were dropped in, although they cautioned each other not to intervene.
“Oh my God,” said one youngster as the regular ducks came down the Wildcat. “There’s too many of them,” she observed.
Despite those concerns, the glut of ducks did not last, thanks to the actions of the Stuck Duck Patrol.
Kathleen Flammia, who is the executive director of Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce, said the demand for ducks was huge, possibly record-setting, as was overall attendance at the festival. Canceled only once in its history because of low water levels, the festival -- which is free, although the ducks are not – averages between 2,000 and 4,000 visitors, she said.
Years ago, several B&B’s came up with the idea of the Wildquack festival as a way of promoting their businesses, and by extension the Town of Jackson, Flammia explained. She said the 2022 festival saw more ducks sold than ever and, with several hours left in the event on Sunday, what was shaping up to be a sell-out of festival T-shirts.
Given the weather, the turnout and the duck sales, “I couldn’t be happier,” said Flammia.

[TRENDING: Man killed in alligator attack at Florida park: report | Tropical tossup: Models differ on how area in tropics could impact Central Florida | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
Police said they were called Harbor Village Apartments, 200 E. University Blvd., around 9 p.m. A man and a woman said they were outside their apartment when their neighbor, Sharifian, confronted them, records show.
Sharifian accused the couple of calling the cops on him for a previous incident, police said. Jail records show Sharifian was arrested on Sunday on a battery charge, but no other details on that arrest were available.
The couple went back inside their home, but then tried to speak with Sharifian again, officers said. Sharifian punched the woman, pulled out a knife and stabbed her, then slashed the man’s arm when he tried to intervene, records show.
The couple managed to get Sharifian back into his apartment, police said. Officers ordered him out of the apartment but Sharifian refused to come out or even speak with officers, according to investigators.
Officers said after several failed attempts to negotiate with Sharifian, SWAT entered the apartment and cuffed him.
Sharafian faces 2 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count of attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling and one count of battery.

A common device used to take the pulse and oxygen levels made nonwhite patients appear healthier than they were and may have delayed the need for COVID-19 treatment, according to a new study out of Johns Hopkins University.
Pulse oximeters are small devices that are clipped to a finger and used to measure a patient’s blood oxygen levels using light wavelengths. However, some studies have recently found accuracy issues in pulse oximeters because of skin pigmentation, according to the FDA.
[TRENDING: Man killed in alligator attack at Florida park: report | Tropical tossup: Models differ on how area in tropics could impact Central Florida | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
In the analysis conducted at Johns Hopkins and Baylor University, researchers compared the blood oxygen levels of over 1,200 patients with COVID using a pulse oximeter and arterial blood gas tests.
The researchers found that the pulse oximeters overestimated the blood oxygen levels in Black patients by 1.2%, 1.1% among Hispanic patients, and 1.7% among Asian patients.
That small percentage can be enough to decide not to use COVID-19 treatments more associated with severe cases because COVID affected oxygen levels in the blood.
The researchers then looked at another 6,600 COVID-19 cases and, through a statistical model, found that Black patients were 29% less likely than white patients to be eligible for treatment based on a pulse oximeter reading. Hispanic patients were 23% less likely.
Because pulse oximeters are less invasive than arterial blood gas tests, the researchers said the devices had become gatekeepers for COVID-19 treatment.
“We’ve shown that biases in pulse oximeter accuracy can mean the difference between receiving a necessary medication and not — and, critically, we were able to quantify how much this disproportionately affects minority communities,” said Dr. Tianshi David Wu, a study co-lead author.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

YORK, Pa. — As the Pennsylvania moves towards the start of summer, community Covid-19 spread in in the south central region is on the rise.
Four counties -- York, Mifflin, Juniata, and Adams -- all have increased their transmissibility rate from "low" to "medium" in the past few days, according to the latest CDC data.
Dr. Raghavendra Tirupathi, an infectious disease expert with WellSpan Health, says the rising is troubling.
"It makes me concerned that the rates in all of our neighboring counties...are increasing in terms of Covid-19 numbers, especially the positivity rate," Tirupathi said.
"If you are looking at transmissibility data, especially data from PA Department of Health, the rates are pretty high -- as high as 17 to 18 percent."
He says that some of the increased case count and infection spread could be attributed to immunity waning after months without vaccination.
"I think we need to attribute some of this increase to some waning immunity over the weeks…because many people are five months or beyond five months from the last booster dose."
Dr. John Goldman, infectious disease expert with UPMC, agrees this rise is concerning.
"One of the things that's a little worrisome is we're still seeing this in summer."
He says the good news is that the rise in cases is not translating to increased hospitalization or severe disease.
"We're seeing an increase in cases, but we aren't seeing the same degree of increase in severe disease. We aren't seeing the same increase in hospitalizations. We aren't seeing the same increase in deaths."
As summer travel hits its stride, his advice overall is to be cautious.
"If you're going on vacation with your elderly parent, your elderly grandparent, you’ve got to be more careful," Goldman said. "If you are doing just the vacation with yourself and your kids, you can probably take more chances."

LANCASTER, Pa. — Tuesday marked another steamy afternoon in Central Pennsylvania, with temperatures soaring into the 90s. One more day of this heat and we are officially in a heat wave.
Experts are reminding people about the warning signs of overheating in pets. Dogs can suffer a heatstroke in a matter of minutes, they say.
“When it’s this hot out, you want to keep their outdoor activity to a minimum and you want to think about the times of the day," explained Lindsay High, Development Director for the Pet Pantry of Lancaster County. "So 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. is incredibly hot, both for us and our pets."
Symptoms of overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, unresponsiveness, or even collapse.
Dogs suffering from heatstroke can have elevated breathing rates, dry or sticky gums, abnormal gum color, bruising in the gums, may appear lethargic or disoriented, and can have seizures.
Cats suffering from heatstroke can have muscle tremors, bloody nose, red tongue, and pacing.
“Approaching a heat stroke, you’ll see that they sort of sway or wobble or even collapse. If that happens, you need to act really quickly,” High said. “Apply cool washcloths or a cool towel to them. Not ice cold, but just cool to the touch. You don’t want to shock their system.”
Take your pets for shorter walks during the day when temperatures are at their peak and limit exercise during these hours. Reserve longer walks for the early morning and evening, when temperatures are cooler.
Make sure your pets drink plenty of water. Use a plastic water dish for outside versus metal so that it does not heat up. Also, feel the pavement. If you cannot keep your hand flat on the ground for more than five seconds, it is too hot for your pet’s paws.
A few minutes in this heat can be all it takes before people start to experience symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Seniors, especially those with dementia, are most at risk for a heatstroke.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
- Feeling faint or dizzy
- Excessive sweating
- Cool, pale, clammy skin
- Rapid, weak pulse
- Muscle cramps
Symptoms of heat stroke include:
- Throbbing headache
- No sweating
- Red, hot, dry skin
- Rapid, strong pulse
- May lose consciousness
As temperatures climb, having enough water bottles on standby is necessary for both you and your pet.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK)—A former Kanawha County teacher accused of abusing a special needs student at Holz Elementary has agreed to plead guilty to 10 counts of battery on Tuesday.
These charges include Boggs hitting a student with a cabinet door, pulling a student by the hair, slapping a student on the face, slapping a student on the shoulder, driving a student’s head into a desk, and jerking a chair out from under a student.
All 10 counts are misdemeanors, and each could count could come with up to one year in jail.
Boggs’ sentencing will take place on Aug. 2 at 9:00 a.m.
Nancy Boggs, 67, of Charleston, was arrested in connection to a criminal investigation stemming from a case of alleged abuse reported from Holz Elementary in September of 2021. In mid-November 2021, the parents of a special needs student at Holz Elementary filed a lawsuit against Boggs and Kanawha County Board of Education stemming from the alleged abuse.
Boggs was charged with 23 counts of Battery and 1 count of Verbal Abuse of a Noncommunicative Child, police say.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – West Virginia Health Right and Remote Area Medical are teaming up to provide a large, two-day clinic offering free medical, dental and vision care to the public.
The clinic is happening on June 4 and 5 at the Bible Center School on Oakhurst Drive in Charleston. You don’t need insurance or an I.D. to attend. Organizers say they put on this clinic because they saw a significant need in the community.
“A lot of people will go several years, we’ve seen people come in and went without glasses for like 8 years. And crying because they’re so excited that they got glasses and they can see. Last year I saw a whole family. It was like a mom and dad and like four little kids they all got glasses so it was a really great event, it’s really important,” says Angie Settle, the CEO of West Virginia Health Right.
“We’ve found testicular cancers, breast cancers and things where people are just reluctant because they’re concerned about the cost of healthcare and they’ve let things go too far,” says Sen. Tom Takubo, D.O., Pulmonary Physician.
The clinic is targeted to serve people from a nine-county area around Charleston.
Doors will open at 6 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Services will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

HARALSON COUNTY, Ga. — A Cartersville man has been arrested after law enforcement said he took them on an early morning chase through northwest Georgia and into Alabama.
The Haralson County Sheriff's Office said deputies spotted the driver while doing a speed check along Interstate 20 around 7:20 a.m. Tuesday. The driver was clocked in at 140 mph, speeding past the deputy in a green Honda Accord, according to authorities.
Law enforcement decided to pursue the driver, with the chase going into Cleburne County, Alabama, the sheriff's office said. The driver left I-20 and went through backroads before getting back on the highway heading eastbound. Deputies continued to tail the driver and called Georgia State Patrol to help by the Haralson and Carroll County line, the sheriff's office said.
Investigators said GSP performed a precision immobilization technique, or PIT maneuver, to stop the car. This maneuver is typically used by law enforcement to force a fleeing vehicle to turn 180 degrees, often to stall or stop it.
When the car came to a stop, the 24-year-old driver ran off. Law enforcement from several agencies helped search for him, even closing the Center Point Bridge area in Carroll County. The driver was eventually arrested within the county limits, according to deputies.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – Drivers could expect some delays on I-64 near the Nitro-St. Albans bridge for pothole repairs this week.
According to the West Virginia Department of Transportation, contractors will be repairing potholes between mile markers 41 and 44.5 on I-64 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1, through Friday, June 3. This area is just west of the Nitro-St. Albans bridge.
Officials say work mill and fill work will begin on the westbound lanes first, and then contractors will move to the eastbound lanes. The WVDOT says they will be working on one lane at a time to minimize the impact on drivers.
WVDOT says the repairs are part of the widening project between the Nitro-St. Albans Bridge and the US 35 interchange.

SPOKANE, Wash. — A nine-year-old girl, who was attacked by a cougar in Stevens County over the weekend, has been released from the intensive care unit.
Lily Kryzhanivskyy was attacked on Saturday around 11 a.m. at a kids camp near Fruitland, Washington. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) said prior to the attack, Lily was playing hide-and-seek in the woods with two other children. When Lily jumped out to surprise her friends, the cougar suddenly attacked.
Lily was rushed to a hospital and is currently in stable condition.
Her mother described Lily's recovery as "amazing" and told WDFW that Lily wants people to know she was “very brave and tough.”
“We are extremely thankful for this little girl’s resiliency and we're impressed with her spunk, in the face of this unfortunate encounter,” Capt. Mike Sprecher of the WDFW Police said in a written statement. “It happened fast and we are thankful that the adults at the camp responded so quickly.”
The family has started a GoFund Me to help cover medical expenses and time off work. To donate to Lily's GoFund Me, click here.
The cougar that attacked was killed at the scene. Tests on the young male cougar showed the animal did not have rabies.
According to WDFW, this is the first cougar attack in Washington state this year.
WDFW says cougar attacks are extremely rare in Washington. In the past 100 years, there have only 20 cougar attacks in the state. Cougar attacks have only resulted in two know deaths in that same period of time.
If you do encounter a cougar here are some important tips to prevent an attack:
- Don't run. Face the cougar. Talk to it firmly while slowly backing away.
- Do not take your eyes off the cougar or turn your back. Do not crouch down or try to hide.
- Try to appear larger than the cougar. Get above it. If wearing a jacket, hold it open to further increase your apparent size.
- If the cougar does not flee, be more assertive. Shout, wave your arms and throw anything you have available.
- If the cougar attacks, fight back. Be aggressive and try to stay on your feet. Cougars have been driven away by people who have fought back.

SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. — A man from Tyler, Texas, drowned in Flint Creek, near Siloam Springs, Arkansas, over the Memorial Day weekend.
According to the Grand River Dam Authority Police Department (GRDA), 42-year-old Jose James Flores drowned while trying to rescue his son after the son jumped into the water from the top of the Flint Creek Dam.
GRDA says crews received a call about Flores drowning at approximately 1:09 p.m. Saturday, May 28.
Both Flores and his son were underwater for five to seven minutes before being rescued by a group of citizens in the area. Both received CPR from the group of people at the scene.

GRDA says it is continuing to investigate the incident and no further details are available at this time.

CROWN POINT — Three weeks after pleading guilty to a felony count of official misconduct in connection to allegations he illegally signed off on salvage auto title applications, a Gary police officer remained on unpaid administrative leave, officials said.
Officer Nicholas M. Range, 32, pleaded guilty May 10 to official misconduct, a level 6 felony, and was placed on probation for six months.
In exchange for his plea, Lake County prosecutors agreed to dismiss a felony count of perjury filed against Range in February 2021.
Gary Police Chief Brian Evans filed an administrative complaint seeking Range's termination in January 2021, Gary Police Civil Service Commission records showed.
At the time, the commission unanimously voted to accept the complaint and assign a hearing officer.
However, the commission had not scheduled a hearing on the complaint as of late last week, said Angela Brown, the commission's administrator.

When Lake Criminal Court Judge Natalie Bokota accepted Range's plea agreement earlier this month, she thanked him for entering public service and urged him to find a way to forgive himself for a "dramatic mistake."
Deputy Prosecutor Douglas Shaw said Range would not be able to seek employment as a police officer as a result of his conviction.
Range's attorney, Russell Brown, said the crime was a result of a lapse in judgment and Range was facing the consequences.
Range had no previous criminal history, Shaw said.
Bokota entered Range's conviction as a misdemeanor, which was a condition of his plea agreement. Prosecutors also agreed to allow Range to petition the court to expunge his conviction upon successful completion of probation.
According to charging documents, Range signed off on 18 individual affidavits for restoration of a salvage vehicle that were subsequently submitted by a Gary car lot to the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
On each form, Range certified he was a law enforcement officer in Indiana and had personally examined each vehicle, its major components and ownership documents, according to court records.
Range attested that the salvage restoration of each vehicle conformed with the law and that making a false statement on the form could result in a perjury charge, records state.
Salvage title applications help ensure stolen auto parts are not being used to restore wrecked vehicles, police said.
Indiana State Police determined Range had used the computer in his police car to check the vehicle identification numbers of just two of the 18 vehicles, according to documents.
A business owner told police he paid Range $30 for each salvage title, but Range never visually inspected the vehicles.

DALLAS — As gas prices rise across Texas and the country, one of the hardest-hit industries continues to be the trucking industry. Some companies are now having to make adjustments to how they run their businesses day-to-day.
The statewide gas price average in Texas is $4.24 for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA).
And when it comes to diesel prices, these are even higher as the current average price in Texas is $5.07. This is a cost that directly hits truck drivers across the country.
Life of a trucker
Andy Felker knows what it's like to deal with high gas prices on a daily basis. He lives in North Texas but is an over-the-road truck driver, meaning he carries and picks up items from all around the country.
"I've actually driven in all lower 48 states," Felker said. "I've driven in Canada. I've driven in Alaska. Everywhere but Hawaii. This is a job that needs to be done. It needs smart people. It needs reliable people. I want to be a part of that."
With all of that driving, making stops at the gas pump is a part of his daily routine.
"It's long days, but if you plan your trips right and you hold yourself accountable, your days can look a lot more like how you want them to look than rather than some sort of scheduled sort of thing," Felker said.
Billy Mason, who grew up loving trucks, is known as a local driver. This means he doesn't drive outside of the North Texas area. He can make most of his trips within a day.
"I wanted to get out over the road," Mason said, speaking to why he wanted to get into trucking. "Do things. Get out of the office."
Even though he drives fewer miles day-to-day compared to Felker, he's also feeling the pain at the pump.
"Gas prices are outrageous," Mason said. "It's really hurting."
Gas prices impact on a trucking company
Felker and Mason both work for Summit Trucking, a Dallas-based trucking company founded in 1997. Summit Trucking has about 200 trucks and 500 trailers with about 150 trucks on the road a day.
Bart Plaskoff is the CEO of Summit Trucking, saying his company moves a variety of items, such as furniture, dog food and cleaning supplies.
"Being a truck driver is the backbone of the economy," Plaskoff said. "A lot of people don't realize that everything you touch every day was delivered by a truck. It's a thankless job, and they keep us rolling. They keep America going."
Plaskoff said due to the rising diesel prices, he implemented a fuel surcharge for his drivers to help absorb some of the cost of gas.
"It's definitely cut into our profit," Plaskoff said. "The cost of everything we purchase has gone up over the past two years. Tires, trailers, trucks, insurance, fuel. Across the board, everything is up. And unfortunately, we're having to pass that onto the consumer."
Summit Trucking has pre-existing deals with some Texas gas stations and truck stops to give them a discount at the pump. Plaskoff said he is working to try and help get other North Texas truckers onto his deal as well.
"We are out there extending a hand to the smaller guys," Plaskoff said. "We're able to get a discount at the larger truck stop chains as far as a price per gallon on diesel. And the smaller guys aren't able to do that."
Plaskoff said his drivers purchase between 35,000-40,000 gallons of diesel a week. Excluding discounts at truck stop chains, the rise of diesel prices from this day last year to now comes out to about $85,000 a week more going into fuel costs.
"We're definitely out there spending more money on diesel," Plaskoff said.
Truckers hurting across Texas
The Texas Trucking Association said of the 753,150 truck drivers in the state, many are accepting jobs based on a set price for gas only for the increase to cut into their expected pay for the trip.
"One of the highest costs that anybody in trucking is looking at is labor, one or fuel, John Esparza said, the president of the Texas Trucking Association. "Depending on where we are in the economy, one can easily surpass the other."
Esparza said independent truck drivers and smaller, independent contractors are facing similar situations within the context of the "spot market," which is when a trucker or company gets a one-time fee to move a load or shipment.
The slowed supply chain has forced many to be stuck with paying for their fuel without any work on the road.
"Things are going to get more and more expensive over the summer," Esparaza said.
Diesel's impact on the U.S. economy
Diesel fuel is one of the most important factors when it comes to the world economy, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Most items transported by trucks and trains run off diesel engines. Most construction, farming and military vehicles also use diesel fuel.
In 2020, distillate fuel consumption by the U.S. transportation sector, which is pretty much diesel fuel, was about 45 billion gallons, an average of about 122 million gallons per day, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said.
Diesel fuel is also used in diesel engine generators to generate electricity. Many industrial facilities, large buildings, institutional facilities, hospitals, and electric utilities have diesel generators for backup and emergency power supply, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Preparing for the worst
Since he's been in the business for more than two decades, Plaskoff said he's always tried to stay prepared for a "rainy day" and have flexibility on what he needs to spend money on.
"Trucking is a very cyclical business," Plaskoff said. "Wall Street usually looks to trucking to see where the economy is going to go."
Before the recent rise in inflation and gas prices, Plaskoff already has invested in some auxiliary-power units, or APUs, for all of his trucks.
Since truckers have to regularly stop at truck stops to get some sleep in their vehicles, these units allow for the engine to be turned off but the driver to still have the air conditioning or heater running. This uses less gas while also releasing fewer emissions into the atmosphere.
"So when the truck parks at a shipper or receiver overnight, the engine will shut off and the APU will kick on," Plaskoff said.

RICHARDSON, Texas — A Richardson family is honoring the victims of recent mass shootings across the U.S., including Uvalde, by creating a memorial on their front lawn.
The homeowner, Brandon O’Neil, said he and his family are trying to “spark a conversation” concerning gun violence.
In the last two weeks, Americans have mourned the loss of several victims in a nation that has been plagued with hate crimes and massacres -- especially in the last few years.
On May 14, 10 people were killed, and three people were injured in a racially-motivated attack at Tops Market in Buffalo, New York. The shooter, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, wore military gear and livestreamed with a helmet camera when he opened fire, targeting Black people.
Gendron surrendered to police and has been indicted on first-degree murder charges. He’s due back in court on June 9.
On May 24, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos went into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and opened fire in classrooms, killing 19 children and two teachers and injuring several others before being fatally shot by law enforcement.
The O'Neil family's memorial is called “31 bags for Change,” in which the family has placed 19 maroon backpacks to represent the 19 children killed at Robb Elementary School, two pink backpacks to represent the two teachers killed, and 10 canvas shopping bags to represent the 10 Black people killed in at a grocery store in Buffalo on display in their front yard.
O'Neil said the backpacks are in order similar to a classroom photo, and remain nameless to show, "it is an every town problem."
O'Neil also said the grocery bags are set up to represent a shopping aisle.
“I know many of us are struggling with how to cope and looking for ways to help, and I hope that this inspires conversation and action for change,” O’Neil said in an email to WFAA.
The family has also set up an Instagram page on the memorial.

A Lincoln North Star teacher was named the recipient of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Freda Battey Distinguished Educator Award, which recognizes an exemplary Nebraska secondary teacher.
Rachel Hruza, teacher and chair of North Star's family and consumer sciences department, was honored with the annual award presented by UNL's College of Education and Human Sciences.
The Battey Award is named after Freda Drath Battey, a 1923 graduate of Nebraska's Teacher College and longtime Ashland educator. Her family established the award in 1986.
The honor recognizes "excellence in teaching coupled with recognition in other complementary education activities, such as counseling of students or initiation of student-oriented programs."
Candidates are nominated by students in the College of Education and Human Sciences.
Hruza, who started teaching at North Star in 2017, was noted for her involvement at Lincoln Public Schools beyond the classroom. She is a committee member on North Star's Restorative and Trauma-Informed Cohort and has served as an interventionist for teen parents.

“In all aspects of her education career, she is such a strong teacher, leader, friend and confidant,” said Associate Principal Rachel King.
Hruza will chair the family and consumer sciences department at Lincoln Northwest in the school's inaugural year this fall.
Winners of the Freda Battey award receive an inscribed school bell as well as a cash award for themselves and their school.
Meet more graduates who are 'Voices of Change' within LPS
Voices of change: Q&A with Lincoln Northeast senior Armon'e Dean
This weekend, seniors across the city will walk across the graduation stage and receive their diplomas. Earlier this month, the Journal Star sat down with six seniors who have worked to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in their schools (Interviews have been edited for length and clarity).
Armon'e Dean, Lincoln Northeast
What are your plans after graduation?
Going to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to study mechanical engineering.
Three words you want to leave the Class of 2022.
We did it.
What is a moment from your time at LPS that you will look back on with pride?
I wasn't the best kid in elementary school. So going into middle, it was a whole change of everything. And it was in my sixth grade math class (at Culler) and my teacher, she told me and my mom that she thought I should be transferred to a (differentiated) class. I thought it was really cool, because I've never really been recognized or anything like that before. And it definitely kick-started my schooling.
What is one piece of advice you would give to students — especially students of color — who feel like their voices aren't heard?
It's to engage in a conversation and to gain confidence in your own opinion. ... It's just simply having a conversation with people who you don't necessarily feel comfortable around, instead of expecting them to.
You were sophomores when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. What kind of impact did that have on you and your classmates?
Genuinely, I think that the place where we are now could have been reached way sooner if we weren't as held back as we were by the pandemic. That completely just kind of paused everything for everybody.
What would you like to see improved upon at LPS under a new superintendent in terms of educational equity?
I think one of the biggest strategies for me is making the student voice more heard ... but I feel like to a more personal level, for schools more specifically, not necessarily the district as a whole. What Northeast has done is they have surveyed the whole school and kind of left a drop box where if you ever have any issues, this is what we're going to do to address them. We would grab those issues, we would sort through the reoccurring ones, and then we would have discussions where we would have students come and they would be able to offer their input and be part of the change they want to see.
Voices of change: Q&A with Lincoln Southeast senior Kayla Treat
This weekend, seniors across the city will walk across the graduation stage and receive their diplomas. Earlier this month, the Journal Star sat down with six seniors who have worked to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in their schools (Interviews have been edited for length and clarity).
Kayla Treat (Ojibwe: aabawaate), Lincoln Southeast
What are your plans after graduation?
I'm going to UNL to study pre-law, with plans to transfer to another school for law school.
Three words you want to leave the Class of 2022.
Be yourself, unapologetically.
What is a moment from your time at LPS that you will look back on with pride?
I was able to handle both my numerous activities I do as well as keeping academic integrity. I did archery, volleyball, basketball, StepChain, piano. I read and write. I do art, drawing sketchbook stuff. I'm on the leadership team at my church. I'm also a part of the Indigenous Food Sovereignty project.
What is one piece of advice you would give to students — especially students of color — who feel like their voices aren't heard?
Sometimes people will not reach out to you. It's a harsh reality that sometimes, if you stay to yourself, you will be left to yourself, and that's how it was for me. ... But sometimes reaching out is what you need to do.
You were sophomores when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. What kind of impact did that have on you and your classmates?
I think the pandemic was a time for thinking and growing as a person and also noticing the outside world. ... Everything was hyper-focused, and then we had the Black Lives Matter movement with the death of George Floyd and the outcry with that. I've always been somebody who's invested in world events; I've always been somebody who's wanted to be educated. But that was really my diving board for kind of going off the deep end with knowing that this is what I need to do. ... and it even spurred my passion to go to law school.
What would you like to see improved upon at LPS under a new superintendent in terms of educational equity?
Early education curriculum on issues like race, as well as support for teachers.
Voices of change: Q&A with Lincoln Southwest senior Eiman Nour
This weekend, seniors across the city will walk across the graduation stage and receive their diplomas. Earlier this month, the Journal Star sat down with six seniors who have worked to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in their schools (Interviews have been edited for length and clarity).
Eiman Nour, Lincoln Southwest
What are your plans after graduation?
I'm planning on going to the University of Nebraska at Omaha to study neuroscience.
Three words you want to leave the Class of 2022.
Speak your truth.
What is a moment from your time at LPS that you will look back on with pride?
My parents came to Lincoln (from Sudan) because they thought that it was very safe and it was a good city to raise a family. So I've been here my whole life. One thing that I would look back on with pride is being part of the LPS Scholar Equity Cadre. I think we have done a lot of things that have shaped LPS and its future.
What is one piece of advice you would give to students — especially students of color — who feel like their voices aren't heard?
There is one quote that was plastered all over my middle school and it's always stuck with me. It was, "Be the change in the world that you want to see." Meaning if you want something, you have to chase it. Nobody's just going to hand it to you. ... I think that when I was a child, I always felt like I wasn't represented. I've only had one (teacher of color) throughout my whole life.
You were sophomores when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. What kind of impact did that have on you and your classmates?
COVID was not a good thing, but for some things it was a blessing in disguise. ... For me (the Black Lives Matter movement) was definitely an awakening. I've definitely understood myself more after that. It's allowed me a space to kind of just live and facilitate my racial identity and where I stand in America.
What would you like to see improved upon at LPS under a new superintendent in terms of educational equity?
The prioritization of student voice and equitable teaching practices.
Voices of change: Q&A with Lincoln East senior Guor Chuol
This weekend, seniors across the city will walk across the stage and receive their diplomas. Earlier this month, the Journal Star sat down with six seniors who have worked to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in their schools (Interviews have been edited for length and clarity).
Guor Chuol, Lincoln East
What are your plans after graduation?
Studying sports media and broadcasting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Three words you want to leave the Class of 2022.
Be the difference.
What is a moment from your time at LPS that you will look back on with pride?
Just moving from middle school to high school, going through that phase. I was like 'OK, I'm doing well in these classes, so why don't I take the next step?' I had a conversation with my teachers and they said, 'Oh, you probably should take that next step,' and then I took that next step in high school.
What is one piece of advice you would give to students — especially students of color — who feel like their voices aren't heard?
I would say to have no fear and persevere, because something that comes along with feeling that you're not heard is feeling you have no one with you. As soon as you find those people that you can rely on, people that are going to be with you, there's nobody against you. Because you just have that support system.
You were sophomores when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. What kind of impact did that have on you and your classmates?
In terms of equity, I think it definitely held us back from our fullest potential because we're having the conversations ... and then all of sudden, we'd shut down. And then there was no physical interaction. I think the physical interaction is a really big part, because you couldn't see the people who look like you and feel the way you do in-person.
What would you like to see improved upon at LPS under a new superintendent in terms of educational equity?
I just want them to pursue this mission of equity with the same burning passion that we have the last three years. ... I think we've grown so much, not only us scholars, but educators and district professionals. And even community members, honestly. I think the community sees our work and they just want to learn more.
Voices of change: Q&A with Lincoln High senior Marisol Barron-Perez
This weekend, seniors across the city will walk across the stage and receive their diplomas. Earlier this month, the Journal Star sat down with six seniors who have worked to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in their schools (Interviews have been edited for length and clarity).
Marisol Barron-Perez, Lincoln High
What are your plans after graduation?
Planning on attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I'm going in undecided, currently between dentistry and secondary math education.
Three words you want to leave the Class of 2022.
Thankful for everything.
What is a moment from your time at LPS that you will look back on with pride?
I've always been in higher-up classes ... but as soon as I entered middle school and high school, I realized I wasn't that special compared to everyone else. So I had to give myself that uniqueness. And so I joined the music programs at my schools. Rather than just have that narrowed mind, I have widened my view of things. ... I've never been open with my own thoughts until very recently.
What is one piece of advice you would give to students — especially students of color — who feel like their voices aren't heard?
I would say just look for people like you, try to find that support system young rather than having to learn how to find it in the future. That way you just have that upper hand in those classroom settings where you're not going to be alone. If you raise your hand, you're able to speak out.
You were sophomores when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. What kind of impact did that have on you and your classmates?
Just the way teachers were forced to figure things out as they went, because, previously, teachers had that backup of being like, 'I know how to teach' ... they're right there for me and I can control a classroom. Instead, a teacher would focus only on Zoom kids while the in-class kids did whatever. Even now I don't remember some of the things I learned my sophomore year.
What would you like to see improved upon at LPS under a new superintendent in terms of educational equity?
I honestly just want to see students be able to go to their upper admins and their counselors and their superintendent. I want everything to be open and honest. I just want students to have that voice and continue to fight for what they believe in.
Voices of change: Q&A with Lincoln North Star senior Zein Saleh
This weekend, seniors across the city will walk across the graduation stage and receive their diplomas. Earlier this month, the Journal Star sat down with six seniors who have worked to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in their schools (Interviews have been edited for length and clarity).
Zein Saleh, Lincoln North Star
What are your plans after graduation?
Studying political science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I also hope to go to law school. The plan is to go outside Nebraska. I think I want to go into (education) law.
Three words you want to leave the Class of 2022.
A phrase instead: Don't be afraid to reach out.
What is a moment from your time at LPS that you will look back on with pride?
I was born in Damascus, Syria, and I moved here when I was 3 years old because my parents planned to study for their graduate degrees. ... There have definitely been times as I grew up where I didn't necessarily feel represented by staffing that I was exposed to or the curriculum that I was learning. And so a sort of memorable experience for me has just been engaging myself in the work of educational equity and educational activism.
What is one piece of advice you would give to students — especially students of color — who feel like their voices aren't heard?
A lot of the opportunities that I've had, those weren't given to me, those were things I had to advocate for myself. I had to reach out to people that I knew had connections in order to get myself up there. ... You will be left behind if you don't advocate for yourself. So I think that it can be uncomfortable, it can be a step that you have to cross, but at the end of the day, people who are successful usually had to work that way.
You were sophomores when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. What kind of impact did that have on you and your classmates?
I think (the pandemic) and George Floyd was an awakening for a lot of people. ... I think it goes to show that while that may have been the catalyst for change, for a lot of people, particularly white people, it was never the defining moment for a lot of people of color who had experienced that sort of fear or that was their entire life.
What would you like to see improved upon at LPS under a new superintendent in terms of educational equity?
Facilitating more student voice. I feel like this was the first year where I and a few other students really got input on such important decision-making at the district that traditionally students are just excluded from.

COLFAX — Bumpers Pub, 110 E. Main St. in Colfax, is this week's pick for Eats of the Week.
Opened on Christmas Day 2018, the combination restaurant and bowling alley is owned by Jim Kirkpatrick and managed by Carrie Busick. The property was previously occupied by Colfax Lanes, and half of its eight lanes have now been transformed into the pub.
Kirkpatrick worked as a mechanic for 30 years prior to opening the restaurant. His son mentioned that people wanted to see a nice restaurant in the community, so Kirkpatrick decided to build one with his son.
The name, Bumpers, refers not only to the bumpers used at some bowling alleys to keep the ball within lanes, but also to car bumpers and bumper crops, Kirkpatrick said. Ironically, the four remaining lanes don't have bumpers, as they had been left up too long.
"The food is great. We have an arcade for kids, a bowling alley, a gaming room and we have a good atmosphere," Kirkpatrick said. "It's one of the nicest bars I've seen in a small town, and we have the coolest employees."
Popular menu items include the corn fritters, fried chicken, burgers, tenderloins, all-you-can-eat chicken or fish and homemade hush puppies. The pub offersdaily and weekly specials as well including Taco Tuesdays with tacos and taco salad; chicken fried chicken with homemade mashed potatoes on Wednesday; tenderloins on Thursday; fried chicken on Friday; all-you-can-eat-fish on Saturday; and wings on Sunday.
The pub has a full-service bar with monthly specialty drinks as well as a beer garden.
"The atmosphere is calming and not too bright," Busick said. "It's a place for kids to come on school break and an attraction for events; it's a congregation area; everybody meets here."
The pub also hosts the Bumper Car Show one Sunday each month in the summer. There are no specifications as far as what kinds of vehicles can be entered; if you think it's cool, you can bring it to the show, Busick said.
The tables and bar tops at the pub are made out of repurposed wood from the bowling alley.
"The staff is amazing and I love how big our kitchen is," Kirkpatrick said. "The customers, the people that are involved are regulars and have been loyal to us since day one."
There are hopes for expansion, including the addition of live music acts. A pavilion that could be used as a performance space is being built next to the pub.
The COVID-19 pandemic was hard on the business, but it survived. "It's like a comeback story for us, we're getting back to where we were," Kirkpatrick said.
Bumpers Pub is open 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday for the kitchen and bar until 1 a.m.; 12-8 p.m. Sunday and 11-1 a.m. for the bar; and closed Monday. They offer indoor and outdoor dining, carryout and delivery services.

Authorities on Friday arrested a Bismarck man after taking reports that he was looking through the window of an outhouse at a campground south of the city while young children were inside.
Barry Zacher, 56, is charged with felony surreptitious intrusion, according to court records. He made his initial court appearance Tuesday. He faces the possibility of five years in prison if he’s convicted.
The Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department responded about 11:20 p.m. to a call that a man was standing on an elevated external part of an outhouse at General Sibley Campground and looking through the window, according to an affidavit. Children ages 9 and 4 were inside. Zacher allegedly told police he stood on the platform but it was before anyone was in the bathroom, the document states.
Zacher is in custody at Burleigh Morton Detention Center. Court documents do not list an attorney for him.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento native is performing her one-woman show at The Sofia, Home of The B Street Theatre.
Written and performed by actress Danielle Moné Truitt, "3: Black Girl Blues" is about three close friends, Keisha, Jill and Stephanie, who grew up together and are confronting and figuring out their difficulties through life. The show highlights mental illness, abuse, and unsuccessful relationships by how these three women overcome these difficulties face-on.
"They're extremely beautiful and extremely flawed like most of us are, but the play is super entertaining," Truitt said. "You are going to laugh, you are going to cry, and you are going to holler."
As a Sacramento native and as an African American actress, Truitt said because she is portraying all three characters, it is a very universal story. Her excitement to perform this one-woman show at The Sofia, home of B Street Theatre in her hometown stems from her love of theater.
Truitt went to California State University, Sacramento, where she got her degree in theater with an acting emphasis. She then started working at the B Street Theatre, which was her first professional theatre gig.
Truitt performed there for a few years, mainly in their children's theatre department, before venturing off to Los Angeles for further acting gigs. She would later return to create and perform her first own one-woman show.
"I feel this is part of my life's purpose," Truitt said. "People relate more to people who go through the same experiences as they do and it is part of the human condition to make mistakes, pick yourself up and make something of yourself in spite of it."
One of Truitt's purposes is to show people of color these issues are particularly real in communities and they're not a façade, but can overcome these hardships.
"I think a lot of times, because of what we've been through in this country, there's been an effort to make people of color look either flawed or perfect," Truitt said. "Almost as if we have to be a doctor or a lawyer, or the hero to make up for how we think the world sees us."
"3: Black Girl Blues" is scheduled to run from June 2 through June 12. Showtimes and tickets are available on the B Street Theatre's website.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — May is Stroke Awareness Month and according to the American Heart Association, someone in the US has a stroke every 40 seconds. Which accounts for 1 out of every 19 deaths.
Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability nationwide and around the world. But it’s important to know that strokes are about 80% preventable, according to health experts.
Signs of strokes can include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination
It is important to act quickly when someone might be suffering from a stroke as the longer it takes to treat a stroke, the more damage there will be to the brain. It is extremely important to get to the nearest emergency room immediately if you notice these signs in a friend or loved one.
While a stroke could impact you at any moment, it is important to know some of the indicators that are associated with the medical condition, including:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Common heart disorders
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Sickle cell disease

Tonight: Any afternoon downpours fizzle out by 8 pm. Mostly clear and muggy. Lows will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy and hot. The upper-level wave/disturbance will help set off a few stray showers or storms across Central Alabama again. High temperatures will remain in the lower 90s.
Thursday: A weak cold front will move across the state. This will tap in to the warm and humid air, and that will set off scattered showers and thunderstorms. A few storms may be able to tap into unstable air in place and produce some gusty winds and small hail in addition to heavy downpours and frequent lightning. Widespread severe weather is not expected. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Friday/Weekend: We cool off on Friday as drier and more comfortable air moves in briefly behind the cold front. This relief will be brief, though. High pressure will build back over the Eastern U.S. but stay north of Alabama this weekend.. We will have high temperatures in the upper 80s. Saturday evening will be mostly clear and mild for the Garth Brooks concert with temperatures falling into the 70s. Sunday will be hot and a little more humid with a slight chance for a pop-up shower as a weak upper-level wave/disturbance moves across the state. High temperatures will be back in the lower 90s.
Storm Team 7-Day
Tropical Outlook/Gulf Coast Forecast: Agatha’s remnants will re-emerge over the far southern Gulf of Mexico and Northwest Caribbean Sea tomorrow. It remains unclear just how this system will re-organize, but regardless of organization, strong westerly shear will prohibit these remnants from any rapid development. We expect gradual organization of this disturbance back into a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm within the next 5 days. The National Hurricane Center says this disturbance has a 70% chance of re-development by this weekend. The steering currents for this disturbance will keep any direct impacts well south of Alabama, with the biggest impacts likely being heavy rainfall over the Florida Peninsula. Still, the Gulf has been rough the past few days, and this system won’t help that trend. Expect red flags on Alabama beaches most of (if not all of) this week, and we still have a moderate risk of rip currents in place over the next several days.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (WJHL) — A Northeast Tennessee utility district under state scrutiny for contract payments it made to companies owned by its paid manager now faces state allegations that it completed a waterline without being granted a permit.
In a May 24 letter addressed to South Fork Utility District (SFUD) Manager Garry Smith, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) area environmental manager Dane Cutshaw writes that TDEC inspected an area along Cant Hook Hill Road after someone complained about line construction occurring without prior TDEC approval.
The letter says SFUD had submitted a drinking water plans review worksheet for the project on April 29 but had not submitted additional required documentation to TDEC when the agency conducted its inspection.
The letter cites a state law prohibiting new construction or changes to existing public water systems “until plans for such new construction or change have been submitted and approved by the Department.”
The notice of violation requires SFUD to submit “as-built plans for this project” by June 30.
It also occurred less than a month after Tennessee’s Utility Management Review Board (UMRB) called for the resignation of all SFUD board members and for SFUD to seek a merger with Bristol-Bluff City Utility District. Since then, only the board’s chairman, James Graham, has resigned.
A Tennessee Comptroller’s Office (TCO) spokesman said to TCO’s knowledge, the other four board members have not resigned. Neither has Smith, who was at the center of a TCO investigation of SFUD that found more than $1.5 million in “questionable payments” to two companies owned or partly owned by Smith.
At its April 28 hearing — which occurred two days after UMRB’s staff lead Ross Colona drove to Blountville for a called SFUD meeting only to have the board and Smith fail to appear — UMRB board member Bruce Giles said the investigation revealed “what appears to be the worst case of abuse” in his nine years on the board.
The TDEC violation involves the construction of 1,480 feet or slightly more than a quarter-mile of new water line. The notice says SFUD did submit a “drinking water plans review worksheet” for the project on April 29.
News Channel 11 contacted SFUD Tuesday to ask about the notice of violation and to request an interview with Smith.
The district’s Denise Jordan said she would pass a message on to Smith and confirmed he was still the utility’s manager. The station has submitted questions about the 3,400-customer utility’s plans for a potential merger, Smith’s future status, costs and invoices related to the recent waterline project and when the utility’s next meeting will be held.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — A new fire truck will soon hit the streets of Johnson City.
The new Truck 2 ladder truck was recently purchased for around $1 million and will replace the existing Truck 2, a 1999-model ladder truck. It will be stationed at Fire Station 2, located on Cherokee Road near Pine Oaks Golf Course. The truck will be put into service in about three weeks as firefighters are still training on it.
“Everybody has got to go through a rigorous training session with it so they know how to operate it and know all the safety features of it and be able to handle any situation they may encounter,” Fire Chief David Bell said.
The new Truck 2 features a 100-foot ladder with LED lighting and has safety features the older fire truck lacks.
“The biggest thing is just the cab itself, the chassis. Because there are safety features involved in it with airbags and everything else that is new for these apparatus. The older ones that we have did not have that,” Bell said.
The ladder on the new truck can also handle more weight than the one on the old truck.
Bell said the truck was supposed to cost $1.2 million, but the fire department worked with a consortium and got it for $1,051,000. It is one of the most expensive vehicles the city has purchased.
An official “push in” ceremony for the new truck will take place at a later date.

A New York project in the works for decades officially has a brand new name.
“I’m proud to announce this new terminal is called Grand Central Madison," Gov. Kathy Hochul said Tuesday.
News 4 New York was granted an exclusive look inside the East Side Access project terminal that will allow LIRR riders to have shorter commutes back in April -- at that time, the name change to Grand Central Madison was just a possibility.
Sitting hundreds of feet below Grand Central, the East Side Access terminal aims to bring 60 percent more traffic into Manhattan from Long Island at peak times, with the added bonus of cutting down on congestion at Penn Station at rush hour. It is slated to open sometime in late 2022.
"The physical structure is mostly done," MTA Chairman Janno Lieber told News 4 at the time, adding that the end is in sight.
Teams are currently polishing the columns, testing the fire alarms, and booting up the control room in the one of the biggest infrastructure projects ever -- a project with an $11 billion price tag.
The hefty expense is worth it, according to Lieber.
"The value of that wasted time alone is in the many, many millions," he said at the time.
The construction is one of the largest transportation infrastructure projects undertaken in the United States in recent years, according to the MTA. It is the largest new train terminal to be built in the United States since the 1950s and the first expansion of the LIRR in more than 100 years.
It will provide new, direct LIRR service into a new concourse below Grand Central Terminal on Manhattan’s East Side. The project encompasses work in multiple locations throughout Manhattan and Queens, and includes more than eight miles of tunneling. It will bring all 11 branches of the LIRR through a new East River tunnel with a final destination below the current Grand Central. This new route will save commuters headed to the East Side precious time.
"My commute used to be two hours this will shorten it by a half hour - gives me a full hour free," Eileen Burkhardt, an LIRR commuter, previously told News 4.
On Tuesday, the MTA not only showed off some merchandise with the project's new name, but more relevant to riders — they’re about to unveil new schedules.
All this even though ridership is only 2/3 of its pre pandemic level.
Grand Central Madison allows for a 40 percent increase to LIRR capacity, with the morning rush going from 113 trains to 158, and the afternoon rush going from 98 trains to 158. The railroad president says details coming soon.
“This is the First time in 30 years we are taking a fresh look at its schedules," LIRR President Cathy Rinaldi said.
The project is a component of the broader LIRR system expansion to help reduce passenger crowding, train congestion and car traffic, and to provide connections with regional transportation such as Metro North Railroad and New York City Transit subways. East Side Access will also reduce train and passenger congestion at New York Penn Station and neighboring subway stations.
The project will allow for the amount of LIRR trains into Manhattan to double with up to 24 trains per hour, while reducing the commute time by 40 minutes, according to Cuomo. He said that commuters will now have two stations to go into.
The new project will also for people to get to JFK from Grand Central in 40 minutes.
The Manhattan concourse includes a 350,000-square-foot LIRR passenger concourse just below street level in the Grand Central area that will offer new entrances along Madison Avenue, 25 retail storefronts, WiFi and cell service, new art installations and digital signage with real time train information. The entrance in 347 Madison Avenue being built at 45th Street as part of the redevelopment of the MTA's former headquarters alone is expected to serve 10,000 people a day.
Major construction of the East Side Access project is complete -- with the grand opening taking place at some point this year.
When completed, East Side Access -- which has been in the works for years and is on schedule -- will serve approximately 162,000 customers a day, according to the MTA.
"When I came to the MTA in 2018 one of my first actions was to do an in-depth review of East Side Access," Janno Lieber, President of MTA Construction & Development, previously said. "We doubled down on this project - expressing faith in its fundamentals but overhauling the way we were pursuing it. In the past, when challenges were encountered, the answer was to push back the project completion date. We put an end to that and committed this project would be completed in 2022 as had been promised."

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — Are you in need or know of someone in need of baby wipes, diapers, or even formula?
The Metro Valley Gabriel Project is distributing all of these baby necessities to Charleston families in need at the Asbury United Methodist Church.
The non-profit organization assists families in need through immediate, practical and compassionate assistance.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) – Jury selection is set to begin this week for the trial of a man accused of shooting and killing a Charleston Police Officer.
Joshua Phillips, 39, appeared in Kanawha County Court today, May 31, 2022, for another pretrial hearing. His trial is scheduled to start in two weeks on June 13, 2022.
He is charged with murder in the death of CPD Patrolman Cassie Johnson. Johnson was shot in the line of duty on Dec. 1, 2020, and died of her injuries on Dec. 3, 2020.
On Dec. 12, 2020, Phillips was formally charged with first-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty to those charges in April 2021.
Phillips’ trial was previously scheduled to start back in March 2022, however, Judge Jennifer Bailey said at that time there were not enough jurors available to begin the trial. Judge Bailey also ruled that the case will remain in Kanawha County following a change of venue request from the defense.

ORLANDO, Fla. – When you travel by plane, is your biggest worry your luggage?
The Orlando International Airport’s state-of-the-art baggage handling system at the soon-to-open Terminal C should eliminate a lot of checked luggage fears.
[TRENDING: Man killed in alligator attack at Florida park: report | Tropical tossup: Models differ on how area in tropics could impact Central Florida | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
You’ll never see it and never know it, but as soon as you hand over your luggage at the check-in counter in Terminal C, your bag will be dropped off into a yellow “smart” bin — a plastic sled that has its own RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking — to automatically go whizzing around the six miles of internal converter belt.
MCO provided News 6 behind-the-scenes video.
Think of it like your bag is taking its own trip, on a highway, getting off at certain exits at different places under the new terminal.
It will be shuffled to a robotic storage spot where bags will wait if passengers check them in early more than three hours before a flight.
Or it will be transported directly to the tarmac to a waiting plane, potentially at the same time as other bags headed to that plane so airline baggage handlers can load a plane quicker.
Or, a bag will be directed to the exit: the luggage carousel.
There are more automated luggage collection points closer to more planes on the tarmac, so bags will be driven a much shorter distance from planes to collection points compared to Terminals A and B.
Scott Goodwin, MCO Airport Operations Manager, said once a bag is loaded onto the sled, it will pass through the entire Terminal C in five minutes.
“Think of it like bumper cars.,” Goodwin said. “These bins run into each other and they just bounce off each other. And when they do, the system will pick up that RFID chip and say now I know what this bag is, I can still treat it differently. So your bags aren’t going to the wrong places all over the country. We always know where the bags are in the system.”
Goodwin said the sled, with your bag, will get to and from your plane faster compared to Terminals A and B.
“With these high side-walls, it gets contained in here,” Goodwin said. “One of the things I like to talk about, [with the old system in Terminals A and B] we get two bags on a conveyor system that may run together that might get hooked together, and when the system says one is going to Philadelphia and one is going to Atlanta on another airline, will they become as one bag and go to that location.”
But not in Terminal C.
“The RFID chip will match up your bag tag with bin, and we have over several thousand data points so we know where the bag is throughout the data process,” Goodwin said.
The new smart bins won’t get jammed — no loose straps or strollers will be sticking out of the bins to get snagged and stop the conveyor belt. Hundreds of bags are delayed, caught, or lost every day in the old terminals.
“In Orlando, we get more car seats, more strollers and more golf clubs than anywhere else in the country,” Goodwin said. “That is a challenge of the Terminals A and B because the conveyor system, the straps that are in car seats, can get lodged in the system and delay the system. This is contained [with the yellow bins], no straps or wheel or anything hanging out.”
So how many delays or losses or misrouted baggage does Goodwin expect in Terminal C?
“Near zero,” Goodwin said.
Goodwin said the early baggage storage area will ease the strain of travelers arriving at the airport hours early. MCO leads the country in passengers arriving at the airport excessively early, according to Goodwin.
“People have to check out of their hotels at a certain time, the cruise ships are a big one that come in at Port Canaveral in the morning, and just based on the flight schedules if somebody has a flight that might leave at 6 or 7 at night or they’re out of their hotel or they don’t have a cruise ship, they might get here at noon,” Goodwin said.
The TSA signed off on the new Terminal C baggage handling system in March. Goodwin continues to test it.
Terminal C is scheduled to open Sept. 19.
