SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – As summer rushes in and families get ready to have fun in the water, News 6 spoke to local officials about what parents can do to keep their children safe.
Officials with Seminole County Fire Rescue encouraged parents to not be complacent. They said drownings can happen at any time, and it’s important to have multiple safety measures in place.

“It’s so horrible, and it affects your life in every way possible, especially this type of accident,” said Jennifer Peacock.
Jennifer and David Peacock lost their son Wesley in 2020. They said at 26 months old, he got out of their screened porch and past a pool fence to get into the water in their backyard.
“It was the first week of lockdown in 2020,” Jennifer Peacock said. “I was cooking dinner, and I just had this strong feeling to go check on Wesley.”
The couple, who live in Longwood, are now committed to making sure no other families experience their grief.
“We believe this happens to the best parents,” said David Peacock. “That’s the heartbreak of it.”
According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages four and under. In Florida, a state report showed 98 deaths in 2021, compared to 69 in 2020.
“Drownings don’t just happen in back yards. They happen in lakes, rivers, streams, anywhere,” said Toni Loudermilk, a firefighter and paramedic with Seminole County Fire Rescue.
Seminole County Fire Rescue has responded to 4 pediatric drowning calls so far in 2022.
“It’s high,” Loudermilk said. “It is something that definitely should be alerting to a lot of parents.”
Loudermilk said a drowning can happen in just a few seconds. She encouraged parents to be involved and teach their children to be aware of the water around them.
“If you have a pool at home, I encourage you to take your child to the pool and start making them more cognizant of what’s around them,” she said.
Jennifer and David Peacock tell parents to think of what they call “five to survive:” swim lessons, pool fencing with a self-closing gate, locked doors and alarms, supervision, and CPR.
“‘Five to survive’ gives other options,” said David Peacock. “It helps prepare you for situations that you can’t control.”
“It can be avoided if they know how to float on their back,” added Jennifer Peacock. “If they can self-rescue from 6 months, when your baby can sit up, they can start survival swim.”

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A Malabar man was arrested Saturday after he shot at children with a BB gun, according to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said a boy and his friends were throwing water balloons at one another, when one of the balloons was accidentally thrown into the home of Lawrence Perry, 50.

According to deputies, Perry came out shortly afterward with a black airsoft BB gun and began shooting it.
Deputies said the boy told them he and his friends ran away after Perry began shooting.
Perry told deputies he fired BBs in the air above the boys with no intention of hitting them, records show.
Video surveillance of the shooting showed Perry pointing the BB gun at the children, deputies said.
Investigators said they found that the gun Perry used could have pierced the skin if one of the children were hit.
Perry faces charges of aggravated assault and child abuse with a weapon.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The school board for Orange County Public Schools held a workshop Tuesday to discuss their safety program and, in the wake of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, board members had a lot of questions regarding their policies.
School Board Chair Teresa Jacobs started the conversation.
“I’m going to use the term errors were made, I think that is safe to say at this point in time,” Jacobs said.
[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!)]
Board member Angie Gallo said she’d like to see the district’s policy include language to make it so that the school safety specialist is a law enforcement officer.
“A certain level of expertise that would be required to do this job, that I believe should only be done by a law enforcement officer,” Gallo said.
Other board members, like Johanna Lopez, wanted to make sure their policy is up to date.
She said the types of drills currently used in schools are the drills that were in place when she was an educator.
Lopez called for there to be further discussion, possibly in the form of another session on the matter, to more thoroughly discuss the policies in place when it comes to school safety.
Safety in schools is top of mind for many districts, not just Orange County.
News 6 spoke with Principal Jordan Rodriguez of Seminole High School, who’s retiring in September.
“This issue continues to be a reoccurring issue in our country. We obviously dealt with our incident where we had a shooting on campus earlier this year,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said following the shooting at their school on Jan. 19, when police said 16-year-old Da’Raveius Smith opened fire inside the hallway, hitting 18-year-old Jhavon McIntyre, they’ve made changes.
He told us they’ve since upgraded their surveillance and have added an additional team member to their security team.

OCALA, Fla. – Police saved a 6-day-old baby from choking at a Golden Corral restaurant in Ocala Saturday evening, according to the department.
Police said Officers Patterson and Coughlin arrived at the restaurant after hearing reports of the child choking on his mother’s milk and turning purple.
[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!)]
Patterson grabbed the baby and started patting the boy’s back, which caused the child to “make a noise” before finally crying, according to officers.
Coughlin took over, continuing to pat his back, police said, which caused the boy to cry even more and open his eyes.
The boy was taken to the hospital, where the agency said he is expected to be OK.

AUSTIN, Texas — As of Tuesday afternoon, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) has received at least three stolen catalytic converter complaints in the past 24 hours, all in the economy parking lots.
Affected travelers are asked to contact the Austin Police Department to file a report. Airport and ABIA Parking staff will be assisting the police with their investigation, an airport spokesperson told KVUE.
The spokesperson said the three complaints included:
- An email at 7:07 p.m. on Monday night regarding a theft in an economy lot (not in a garage)
- A phone call on Tuesday morning around 9 a.m. for Lot D
- Another phone call on Tuesday afternoon for a catalytic converter threat out of Lot F.
AUS said ABIA Parking representatives patrol all lots and garages to respond to customers needing assistance and will alert the police if they witness a crime, such as a vehicle theft, in progress. Customers can all APD or Airport Communications at 512-530-2242 if they notice suspicious behavior at the airport.
APD officers are stationed at the airport and an APD office is located on the airport property.
The airport said all parking lots and garages are equipped with CCTV cameras that monitor the operations 24/7.
AUS had two of its five busiest days ever over Memorial Day weekend. Monday, May 30, was the airport’s third busiest day, with 33,828 fliers, while Friday, May 27, was the airport’s fifth busiest day, with 33,621 fliers.

(The Texas Tribune) The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked a Texas law that prohibits large social media companies, such as Facebook or Twitter, from banning or removing the posts of users because of the users' political viewpoints.
The justices, in a 5-4 vote, granted NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association’s request to reinstate a block imposed by a federal district judge the law as the lawsuit makes its way through the courts.
“No online platform, website, or newspaper should be directed by government officials to carry certain speech,” Matt Schruers, president of the association, said in a statement. “This has been a key tenet of our democracy for more than 200 years and the Supreme Court has upheld that.”
The two industry trade groups that represent companies such as Google and Twitter sued to block the law last fall. In December, a federal district court judge ruled in favor of the groups and prevented the law from going into effect, reasoning that the First Amendment protects a company’s right to moderate content and calling parts of the law “prohibitively vague.”
As a result, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed the district judge’s decision to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which reinstated the law.
Passed during a special session last year, House Bill 20 also requires social media platforms with more than 50 million monthly users to publicly disclose information about content removal and account suspensions.

A Coatesville man is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend in front of their child as well as the woman’s pregnant friend.
Mamadou Kallie, 23, was arrested and charged in the murders of Tiara Rodriguez-Diaz, 20, and Kimberly Ortiz-Zayas, 21, both of Coatesville. Kallie is also charged in the killing of Ortiz-Zayas’ unborn child.
On Saturday at 9:21 p.m., police responded to the 300 block of Mount Pleasant Street in Coatesville for a domestic dispute between Kallie and his girlfriend Rodriguez-Diaz.
Rodriguez-Diaz, who was inside a Toyota Corolla with their 22-month-old child in the backseat, told police that everything was fine, according to the criminal complaint.
Investigators said Kallie became annoyed when police questioned Rodriguez-Diaz. He then walked away from the Toyota Corolla and went inside a black Ford Edge, according to police.
After the responding officers finished speaking with them, Rodriguez-Diaz drove off with their child in the backseat and police cleared the scene.

Thirty minutes later, police responded to an accident and a report of shots fired along the 300 block of East Glencrest Road in Valley Township. A witness told police she heard nine gunshots while another witness reported seeing a black SUV fleeing the scene.
Police then found Rodriguez-Diaz in the driver’s seat of a Toyota Corolla suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to Paoli Hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly after.
Investigators also found a trail of blood from the Corolla’s front passenger door to Ortiz-Zayas who was lying on the side of the road. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ortiz-Zayas was five-months pregnant.
Investigators found fired cartridge casings inside and outside the car as well as a cell phone covered in blood on the center console. Rodriguez-Diaz’s child was not inside the Corolla however.
At 10:45 p.m. that night, West Chester Police responded to a reported carjacking on Rt. 162 and Telegraph Road in East Bradford Township. A man told police that he was detailing his black Infiniti along the 100 block of Pennsylvania Avenue when a gunman, who investigators identified as Kallie, pulled up in his black Ford Edge. Kallie then allegedly went into the victim’s Infiniti and ordered him to drive to Philadelphia and asked him for a change of clothes.
The victim told police he and Kallie knew each other prior to the incident.
“Bro, drive. I just killed someone,” Kallie told the man, according to the criminal complaint.
Kallie allegedly pointed a gun to the victim’s head while he was driving and ordered him out of the car in East Bradford Township before fleeing the scene.
Responding officers later spotted the stolen Infiniti, leading to a police chase.
Kallie was then stopped in Caln Township that night at 11:04 p.m. He exited the car and held a gun to himself, investigators said.
After police negotiated with him, Kallie surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody at 11:41 p.m. Police recovered a Taurus G2C 9mm gun which contained a live round in the chamber and a live round in the magazine, according to the criminal complaint.
Police also said they spotted red stains that appeared to be blood on Kallie’s shirt.
Coatesville Police later located Kallie’s black Ford Edge near the 100 block of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Kallie and Rodriguez-Diaz’s 22-month-old child was later found uninjured in Coatesville with relatives. Investigators believe Kallie removed the child from the car after shooting the two women.
Kallie is charged with two counts of 1st degree murder, murder of an unborn child, carjacking, fleeing and eluding, endangering the welfare of a child and other related offenses.
Kallie is being held without bail at Chester County Prison.
Prior to Saturday’s shootings, Kallie was on probation for assaulting both women, sources told NBC10.
“The senseless and tragic murders of two women and an unborn child are outrageous. Domestic violence continues to plague our communities and homes, and its ripple effect has life-altering consequences for too many people,” Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan said. “We will do everything in our power to hold Mamadou Kallie accountable for these premeditated, intentional, and cold-blooded murders.”
Chester County detectives and Valley Township Police continue to investigate. If you have any information on the incident, please call Chester County Detectives at 610-344-6866.
If you feel unsafe around someone you love, contact the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County’s 24/7 hotline at 888-711-6270 or 610-431-1430. Call 911 if you are in immediate danger.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), visiting www.thehotline.org or texting LOVEIS to 22522.

GARDEN CITY, Idaho — The Boys & Girls Club of Ada County announced Tuesday it will provide free summer meals to children in Garden City, beginning June 7.
All children between the ages of 1 and 18 may utilize the organization's summer meals, regardless of membership status with the Boys & Girls Club.
The free lunches will be served at Pam Beaumont Park, Monday through Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The program starts on June 7 and runs through August 5.
Pam Beaumont Park, formerly known as Riverfront Park, is located at 7559 West Riverside Drive in Garden City. Boys & Girls Club of Ada County will prepare all meals at its Moseley Center.
Children utilizing the summer program must eat the meals at Pam Beaumont Park, according to Tuesday's news release.
“The summer is a particularly vulnerable time for kids who rely on free or reduced-price meals during the school year,” Boys & Girls Club of Ada County Nutrition Director, Tracy Yost said. “At Boys & Girls Clubs, we know that children who receive daily nutrition are set up to succeed. That’s why we’re grateful to partner with the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) to provide free access to free healthy meals when school’s out for summer."
According to the Boys & Girls Club of America, one out of six children in the United States struggle with food insecurity.
For children on free or reduced lunches at school, the risk of going hungry during the summer break is especially high.

BOISE, Idaho — After being detained in China since September 2019, Idaho resident Alyssa Petersen landed back in the United States on Monday.
Petersen is the former director of a Rexburg-based English teaching organization called China Horizons. Petersen and Jacob Harlan, the former owner of China Horizons, were arrested by police in the eastern province of Jiangsu nearly three years ago on suspicion of organizing others to illegally cross the border.
"Alyssa is HOME!!!!! We picked her up today. We are all so incredibly happy," Alyssa's sister, Saren, wrote in a GoFundMe update. "She is doing good and in good spirits. We are going to take a week or so to be with family. We will update again soon."
In October 2019, China Horizons posted on Facebook, announcing the program was ending "because of increasing political and economic problems between the USA and China."
The Rexburg-based teaching organization said "we are no longer able to send teachers to China safely."
However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Geng Shaung, downplayed the possibility of outside factors weighing on Petersen and Harlan's cases.
"I did not see any specific connection between this matter and the current China-U.S. relations," he told reporters at a 2019 press briefing.
RELATED: 2 Idahoans detained in China on suspicion of organizing others to illegally cross the border
According to Alyssa's sister, Saren, more than 700 donations were made to the GoFundMe account for legal fees and supporting Alyssa's finances while she was detained.
Petersen's GoFundMe page says she was held incommunicado for two weeks after being taken away by police and was located only after her family went to the State Department for assistance.
The charge of organizing others to illegally cross the border carries a minimum sentence of two years, with punishment as severe as life imprisonment under certain circumstances.
Katherine Harlan, Jacob's wife, last posted an update on the family's GoFundMe page in October 2021. The update said Jacob's trial "took place in May of 2021. However, we have yet to receive the results of that trial."
Saren posted on Alyssa's GoFundMe page on May 13, announcing her sister would be released and turned over to the U.S. Embassy after being detained for almost three years in China.
The GoFundMe account set up to support Alyssa can be viewed by clicking here.

NAMPA, Idaho —
The Idaho Lottery announced on Tuesday that Mark Wood of Nampa won a one-million-dollar prize from the Mega Bucks scratch game.
"I hadn't bought a scratch ticket in a year," Wood said when he claimed the million-dollar top prize. "A buddy of mine had been playing this game, so yesterday when I was looking for something to do, I thought I'd give it a try. So, I bought just one."
After winning, Wood said he could not believe his luck.
"I thought I was going to have a heart attack.” Wood said. “I wore the ticket out with my eyes looking over it and checking it again and again. I didn't get a lot of sleep either."
Wood is a third-generation Idaho family business owner with his brothers in Nampa.
"I never thought I'd win something like this. I won $100 on a Powerball ticket once, but that was it. This has a lot more zeroes to it," Wood said.
After winning, Wood said he is working with his financial advisor, but that he might end up taking an extended vacation with his prize money.
Wood purchased his winning Mega Bucks ticket from the Stinker store on 12th street in Nampa.
Stinker Stores receives a $20,000 bonus for selling a winning ticket.
Idaho Lottery said that Mega Bucks is the lottery’s first-ever $50 scratch ticket. This was the first million-dollar top prize in the game, but there is one more million-dollar top prize available to win.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — The Shoshone Falls will once again illuminate southern Idaho with the Shoshone Falls After Dark light show, starting June 3.
Southern Idaho Tourism, along with Idaho Central Credit Union, Idaho Power, and the City of Twin Falls, have partnered with David Henry, a professional lighting artist, to immerse visitors in lights, music and the natural beauty of Shoshone Falls.
This year's lights are comprised of newer and more capable LED models, which allow for better color coverage, efficiency and a greater ability to program color changes. This time, they are also adding more lights so more of the park becomes part of the show.
According to Southern Idaho Tourism executive director, Melissa Barry, this year's water levels made the annual flows uncertain.
"We've been in close contact with officials awaiting their decision," Barry said. "We are incredibly grateful for Idaho Power's partnership earlier in May and that we'll be able to feature additional nights in June."
The May preview nights sold out quickly, and Shoshone Falls will be flowing even more during both the day and night. Shoshone Falls opens for ticketed entry from June 3-12.
Barry said the bigger flows, reaching nearly 1,000 cubic feet per second versus the May preview's 300 CFS, will make the lights brighter and put water on the right side of the falls.
"The Snake River provides a lifeline to many industries in Southern Idaho," Barry said. "The annual flows provide a great deal of benefit to the river and we are happy to showcase the falls with bigger water."
For more details and ticket information, visit the southern Idaho tourism website, which will be updated each day with news about available nights and flows.
There is limited space in the park, so Barry advises patrons to purchase tickets in advance.
"The rainbow falls have become a favorite by visitors and locals," Barry said. "This May's preview nights with lower water levels sold out quickly, so we expect a lot of interest with bigger flows."
Chief marketing officer at Idaho Central Credit Union, Michael Watson, said the financial institution is excited to help bring this popular attraction back for the second consecutive year and hopes it will become an annual tradition.
"Shoshone Falls After Dark has really taken off," Watson said. "We are looking forward to being part of it again and showing off one of Idaho's best spots."
Shoshone Falls stands 212 feet tall, 36 feet higher than Niagara Falls, and is renowned as the "Niagara of the West".
The lights run until 11 p.m. every night, and food vendors will be set up for drinks and snacks. Visitors can also visit the Shoshone Falls After Dark website for information on advance vehicle passes, light sneak peeks, and more information on what to expect.
Barry said to stay tuned for announcements about the 2022 Lights & Lasers Festival in the fall.

For the first time since 2019, the Great Southside Sale is on.
On June 4, Lehigh Valley bargain hunters can buy items ranging from furniture to electronics to pots and pans at the one-day sale, which this year will be held at Broughal Middle School in Bethlehem. Items, some of which are donated in new or like-new condition, will be sold at “thrift store prices” according to a press release.
The sale, which was first held in 1996, is organized by Lehigh University community services director Carolina Hernandez and retired Lehigh professor Kim Carrell-Smith. The sale was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
Carrell-Smith said the idea for the sale first came from her husband in 1996: he was walking the dog and saw “perfectly good stuff” thrown into a dumpster at Lehigh. They rescued the dumped items and brought them to the local thrift shop, and decided they would not let any more go to waste.
Lehigh’s Community Service office collects donations from staff, students and faculty throughout May to be sold during the sale. Proceeds of the sale go toward Bethlehem schools, to help with funding school field trips, after-school homework clubs and weekend food programs.
Organizers expect to raise over $20,000 this year — the most recent sale in 2019 raised $23,000.
The sale will be held June 4 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Broughal Middle School playing field, 114 W Morton St.

ATLANTA — Construction is beginning on a northeast segment of the BeltLine that will connect the north end of Piedmont Park to the area near the Sweetwater Brewery.
According to Atlanta BeltLine Inc. (ABI), the development agency that oversees the BeltLine, the currently unpaved portion of the trail between Piedmont Park and Ansley Mall will close on June 1 as the construction begins.
"The paved section of the trail will remain open while lighting is installed," an ABI release said. "The unpaved sections will remain open to trail users until construction commences on those segments."
A 0.7 mile of the segment that runs through the Ansley Park neighborhood opened in an "advanced interim" stage last year, according to ABI.
That initial stage included a paved portion of the trail and an ADA access point to Montgomery Ferry Road. This next phase will include "a paved trail, a connection to Piedmont Avenue, lighting and security cameras, bridgework, duct bank, planting and stormwater management systems" for the full 1.2-mile section of the trail.
ABI said construction of the trail segment, which officially runs from Westminster Drive at the north end of Piedmont Park to Mayson Street, which is just beyond the Buford-Spring Connector near the Sweetwater site, would take about 16 months.
The ABI release laid out the rest of the future plans for the Northeast Trail:
The remaining two segments of the Northeast Trail are at 30 percent design. Once design and other pre-construction activities are complete, construction on Segment 1, between Monroe Drive and Westminster Drive, could begin in late 2023. It will connect the current paved Eastside Trail to the segment now under construction. As funding is secured, Segment 3 and connecting trails will connect to the Lindbergh MARTA station, PATH400, and the future Northwest Trail. Design on these segments will reach 60 percent design this summer.
Segment 1 will essentially run the full eastern length of Piedmont Park.
A recent $30 million donation by the Cox Foundation is expected to provide most of the rest of the push to complete the full city-length loop by 2030.
“My Administration is drawing circles of inclusion, and the Atlanta BeltLine is the best physical example of that in our city,” Mayor Andre Dickens said in a statement. “The investments in the Atlanta BeltLine - including the recent $30 million donation from the James M. Cox Foundation - have made the expansion of the Northeast Trail possible, bringing more greenspace, accessibility and opportunity to all corners of Atlanta.”

SPOKANE, Wash. — A cougar attacked a 9-year-old girl who was playing hide-and-seek at a church camp in Washington state, seriously wounding her and sending her friends running in fear.
Lily A. Kryzhanivskyy and two other children were playing in the woods Saturday at the camp near the small town of Fruitland, northwest of Spokane. Lily jumped out to surprise her friends when the cougar attacked, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said.
Adults rushed to help and found the girl covered in blood. She was airlifted to a hospital, where she had surgery for multiple wounds to her head and upper body.
Lily was released from the intensive care unit Monday and remains hospitalized in stable condition, the department said Tuesday.
Following the attack, adults staying at the church camp found the young male cougar and killed it.
"We are extremely thankful for this little girl's resiliency, and we're impressed with her spunk in the face of this unfortunate encounter," Fish and Wildlife Police Capt. Mike Sprecher said. "It happened fast, and we are thankful that the adults at the camp responded so quickly."
Tests completed over the weekend showed the animal did not have rabies, the agency said.
Cougar attacks on humans are rare. There have been just two fatal attacks on humans in Washington state in the past 100 years, in 1924 and 2018, the agency said. State records show another 20 cougar attacks on humans resulting in injuries.
The cougar, also known as a mountain lion, is the second-largest cat in the Americas after the jaguar. Secretive and largely solitary by nature, cougars are rarely seen in daylight. The ambush predator eats deer and smaller animals. While cougars generally avoid people, attacks on humans have increased in North America as more people enter cougar habitat.
"In this instance, this little girl did nothing wrong," said Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Staci Lehman. "It happened so quickly, and there's nothing she could have done to prevent it."
If attacked by a cougar, you should yell at the animal and try to make yourself look bigger, she said. If it attacks, stay on your feet and fight back.
"Do not turn around. Don't take your eyes off the animal," Lehman added. "Don't run."

Several families and children celebrated the opening of the first long-awaited splash pad in the city of Idaho Falls Tuesday.
The City of Idaho Falls Parks and Recreation Department held a ribbon cutting for the splash pad, located at Reinhart Park where guests kicked off the summer with hot dogs, music and their first look at kids playing at the splash pad before rain cut their time at the park short.
“This is a huge moment for not only our department but I think for our community as a whole,” said Idaho Falls Parks and Recreation Director PJ Holm. “This has been in the (city’s) plans for more than a decade.”
Holm said the first splash pad was originally planned to be located near the Idaho Falls River Walk, but city officials decided that it wasn't a suitable location, which delayed the construction of a splash pad as a new location was sought.
Construction of the splash pad was done with water conservation in mind, Holm said. Most of the water used at the splash pad is captured through a drainage system, exposed to ultraviolet light, a sand filter and chlorinated to be reused, he said. Two 1,500 gallon tanks supply the splash pad with its water.
“We should lose between 150 and 300 gallons (of water) a week which is not very much for as much fun and as much water will be put through this facility,” Holm said.
Idaho Falls Mayor Rebecca Casper said the splash pad is an example of the city’s larger efforts to conserve water as Idahoans experience drought conditions.
“I’m really proud to say this uses less water than a swimming pool,” Casper said.
In comparison, an Olympic-size swimming pool uses 660,000 gallons of water.
The splash pad replaces the old swimming pool at Reinhart Park which closed in 2014 due to irreparable conditions with the concrete. The Idaho Falls City Council approved $300,000 to construct the splash pad in August 2020 and an additional $200,000 to build new restrooms and add a parking lot to the park.
Splash pad users can turn on the water through a push button on site, which has 12 different settings that run in 3-minute cycles. The splash pad is expected to run from 10 a.m. to sunset.
Holm said several other splash pads are planned in Idaho Falls and he hopes people can feel a sense of ownership of their nearby community splash pad when they are constructed. Through a show of hands, about half of Tuesday’s guests traveled by vehicle.
“We want to serve the neighborhood, but this is the only one we have in the city right now so we want to serve the entire community,” Casper said.

CARLISLE, Pa. — A Cumberland County woman has been charged with child endangerment, public drunkenness, and disorderly conduct after police say she left a 2-year-old child alone in her hotel room while she got drunk in the lounge.
Vanessa Acosta, 38, of Carlisle, was charged following the alleged incident at a Days Inn on Harrisburg Pike, according to Middlesex Township Police.
Police say an employee at the lounge called 911 after Acosta, who had earlier been asked to leave the bar, tried to force her way back inside.
Responding officers first encountered Acosta as she exited a men's bathroom at the hotel at about 1:30 a.m.
Police say she was visibly intoxicated and needed to lean on the wall to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Acosta told police she was staying at the hotel in a room with the 2-year-old boy and his sister, but when police escorted her back to the room there was only the 2-year-old boy present.
Police say the child was found in a dirty diaper and displayed signs that he'd been crying. There was no food or drink appropriate for a 2-year-old child visible in the room, according to police.
Police say they looked for another child, but hotel staff reported that Acosta had only been seen with the boy, and no one else was registered in the room.
The child was turned over to Cumberland Youth Services, and Acosta was taken into custody, according to police.
While being transported to Central Booking for arraignment, Acosta allegedly began kicking at the windows of the police vehicle and spat in the direction of arresting officers, according to the criminal complaint affidavit.

STEELTON, Pa. — A Harrisburg man wanted for murder in connection to a June 2021 shooting that killed a woman and injured her 6-year-old son has been captured by U.S. Marshals.
Deron Derekem Scott was apprehended Tuesday at about 3:20 p.m. by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane said in a press release.
Scott was taken into custody without incident at a home on the 200 block of Ridge Street in Steelton, Pane said. He was turned over to Harrisburg Police for processing and arraignment.
Scott is charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, firearms violations, and other offenses in connection to the June 28, 2021 shooting death of Erin Walsh on the 1400 block of Berryhill Street in Harrisburg, Pane said. Walsh's son was injured in the same incident, according to police.
Walsh succumbed to her injuries a few days after the shooting.
Attempts to find Scott were unsuccessful and the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force was asked to apprehend him, according to Pane.
A second suspect, Raymeir Haynes, 30, was also charged with homicide and six other felonies in the incident, according to Pane.
Haynes was captured on Dec. 9, 2021 and is awaiting trial.
“The U.S. Marshals Service is the nation’s primary fugitive investigative agency and arrests more than 4,000 alleged murderers each year," said Pane. "We add Scott’s name to that list and by doing so we are making our communities safer.”

The sky in Phoenix does look a little dusty. Here's why
You might have noticed the blue Arizona sky was slightly hazy and a bit browner than usual over the holiday weekend. Those familiar with Arizona weather may have been expecting a dust storm since they tend to happen later in the year.
So then what was it?
Here's what you need to know:
Why was the sky in Arizona hazy?
The National Weather Service credits the haziness to two weather events over the weekend. NWS observed a dust channel in Southern California about two hours east of San Diego. This area is largely agricultural with swathes of acres of farmland.
The windy conditions continued throughout May 29, carrying dust across southcentral Arizona, according to the weather service in Phoenix.
The other contributing factor was a fire burning 14 miles southwest of Parker. The Lost Lake Fire is burning along both sides of the Colorado River in California and Arizona. The fire started May 26 and is approximately 5,856 acres in size.
According to InciWeb, a government website that tracks wildfires, the fire is 50% contained as May 31.
Stay un:Arizona wildfire updates: Elgin Bridge Fire fully contained
What is a haboob?
A "haboob" typically occurs in Arizona during monsoon season. From June to September large dust storms happen across the state as high winds pick up loose dust and create clouds over the state.
Haboob is a word in Arabic that translates to big, blasting winds as Andrew Deemer, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Phoenix and former linguist explained in an episode of Valley 101.
Terminology:When did we start using haboob to describe dust storms in Arizona
What should I do in a dust storm if I am driving?
The Arizona Department of Transportation has a list of helpful tips for drivers who may get stuck in a dust storm as they are driving. The "Pull Aside, Stay Alive" campaign aims to save drivers from dangerous situations by providing tips to survive a blowing dust event.
- If you encounter a dust storm, immediately check traffic around your vehicle (front, back and to the side) and begin slowing down.
- Do not wait until poor visibility makes it difficult to safely pull off the roadway – do it as soon as possible. Completely exit the highway if you can.
- Do not stop in a travel lane or in the emergency lane. Look for a safe place to pull completely off the paved portion of the roadway.
- Turn off all vehicle lights. You do not want other vehicles, approaching from behind, to use your lights as a guide and possibly crash into your parked vehicle.
- Set your emergency brake and take your foot off the brake.Stay in the vehicle with your seat belt buckled and wait for the storm to pass.
- Drivers of high-profile vehicles should be especially aware of changing weather conditions and travel at reduced speeds.
More information on dust storm safety can be found at PullAsideStayAlive.org and safety tips for driving in rainstorms can be found at azdot.gov/monsoon.
Is there a dust storm today? Here's how to know
The best way to stay up to date on weather patterns is to check with your local National Weather Service.
At the Republic, we use various different tools to check ongoing weather and other climate related questions we may have.
One said tool comes from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
ADEQ's Air Quality Snapshots give accessible and accurate readings of Air Quality Index (AQI) and Air Quality Risk-Based (AQR) for various different cities and towns across Arizona.

“I’m your boogie man, I’m your boogie man, that’s what I am.”
— K.C. & the Sunshine Band
A contributor to this newspaper’s Squawkbox feature sent in a submission recently that I think perfectly addresses a non-issue that many have tried to turn into an issue ... for personal gain, of course.
This person said, in general, that he/she voted for Republican David Perdue for governor in the recent GOP primary election because he/she is less than overwhelmed with the job Brian Kemp has done in that position for the last 3 1/2 years. He/she went on to say that he/she will leave his/her ballot blank in the general election rather than vote for Kemp, even if his/her non-vote helps Democrat Stacey Abrams in her quest to become governor.
The person pointed out that he/she did not vote for David Perdue because of the endorsement of Donald Trump. In fact, the person took pains to point out that the former president had absolutely nothing to do with his/her vote.
That, I believe was the case for a lot of Republican voters who went to the polls to cast ballots in the primaries. In fact, I’d venture a guess that probably as many Democrats elected to choose Republican ballots during the primaries just so they could vote against candidates Trump endorsed as Republicans who voted for candidates solely because they were endorsed by the former president.
Which points to a phenomenon that is becoming more and more apparent as we move closer to the mid-term general election in November: Democrats, who have for the past six years accused Republicans of blindly following Trump, are so caught up with making the former president their boogie man, they’ve lost sight of their own party’s shortcomings.
Like Jack Nicholson told Tom Cruise that “you need me on that wall” to keep the Cubans and Communism at bay in “A Few Good Men,” Democratic leaders are trying to scare their base by telling them “you need me in office to keep Trump from taking back over.”
It’s common knowledge that, unless there is a period of unprecedented good economic news during the first two years of a sitting president’s administration, the “other side” is typically going to enjoy gains during mid-term elections. And with America’s economy in the toilet and a period of national and even global unrest having settled in during the tenure of Democratic President Biden, it doesn’t take a crystal ball to predict GOP gains, perhaps even enough to take control of the House and the Senate, in November.
Republicans are licking their chops (although why anyone would want Mitch McConnell as head of the Senate again, I’ll never understand), and Democrats are reading the writing on the wall. So what they’re trying to do is use the threat of a Trump return to scare voters into ignoring all the bad news that’s happening all around them.
GOP voters — at least a large number of them and at least for the time being — have moved on from Trump and his cult of personality and are instead looking for leaders in their party whose politics are more in line with their own. Meanwhile, the chickensh — Republican politicians, whose lust for power, not constituents’ concerns, dictates their moves, are scared to denounce the ills of Trump’s four years in office because they’re afraid of encountering his wrath if he makes some kind of miraculous comeback.
Democrats, who don’t have a whole lot of good juju to stand on, are instead preaching the evils of Trumpism moreso than they’re trying to fix the wrongs that are all around them. They figure if they can stir up fear of a Trump return, they can rouse their base to get out in record numbers again and not vote for them but vote against Trump.
That strategy worked in 2020 when voters had four years of Trump’s antics to consider as they went into the voting booth. This time around, it’s Democrats who are dredging up the ghost of Trump in an attempt to keep their voters in line. It’s a poor strategy, and it’s one that’s likely to backfire in a big way unless some dramatic changes are made before November.

SEATTLE — Dan Price, a Seattle CEO known for cutting his salary and raising his employees' pay, pleaded not guilty to assault and reckless driving after a woman reported he attempted to forcefully kiss her earlier this year.
Additionally, a harassment no-contact order was issued.
His bond was exonerated under conditions of release.
According to the police report, a 26-year-old woman met with Price in January after they exchanged messages on Instagram. The woman told police she met with Price after he told her he wanted to talk about "professional matters" in person.
The woman allegedly met with Price at a restaurant downtown on the night of Jan. 20. The woman told police Price got "very drunk" at the restaurant, according to documents.
The woman attempted to order an Uber, and Price suggested waiting in his Tesla until it arrived. Once inside his car, Price allegedly attempted to force a kiss on the woman and grabbed her throat when she pushed him away. Documents say the woman told police he became "incredibly angry," and his demeanor completely changed.
According to documents, Price then drove the woman to a North Seattle parking lot and did "donuts" with his car before attempting to kiss her again.
The documents say the woman's boyfriend was eventually able to make contact with her and drove her away.
Price allegedly texted the woman the next day, “Thanks for meeting me last night."
Price's attorney, Mark Middaugh, called the allegations "absolutely false" after Price was initially charged, adding they have evidence that contradicts details of the police report and raises "serious doubts about the complainant's credibility."
Following Price's not guilty plea, Middaugh said, "Dan looks forward to his day in court."
Price, the CEO of Gravity Payments, a credit card processing service, gained national recognition in 2015 when he publicly announced he would raise all of his employees' salaries to $70,000 while cutting his own.

BOISE — The shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which killed 19 students and two teachers, is very traumatic for survivors, their friends and family. It also has created questions and anxiety for students across the country.
The CEO of the Idaho Youth Ranch, a counseling service for youth and families, offers parents and guardians advice on how to approach the topic with their kids.
“Caring adults are really important for kids, especially in a moment like this,” CEO for Idaho Youth Ranch CEO, Scott Curtis said.
When Curtis heard about what happened at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday afternoon, his heart sank.
“I really just started thinking about the parents and the teachers and those kids — the trauma that they experienced,” Curtis said.
Then he began to think about the kids and teens hearing about this traumatic event and the anxiety they may now have.
“Most young people are hearing the news and they’re plugged in,” Curtis said.
Curtis believes it’s important for parents and adult family members to have these conversations surrounding mental health.
“We don’t want kids to ever feel like there’s something they can’t talk about to adults in their lives,” Curtis said. “We’re the outlet they need.”
Curtis advises parents to not be afraid to ask their kids how they feel and to even share their own feelings.
“I think it’s okay just to say, ‘hey, I really want to talk to you. There’s something that happened that really bothered me and I know you know about it. So, let’s talk about it. What have you heard? More importantly, what are you feeling about it?’” Curtis said.
However, Curtis said it is crucial to make sure parents are aware of their own emotions and concerns before approaching their kids. He added it’s important to make sure they don’t overwhelm the child — which could add more fear to the situation.
“That’s too much to lay on a kid,” Curtis said.
With many school years ending or already over, Curtis advised it’s best to approach this topic as soon as possible.
“Don’t put this off and wait until maybe they’re going back to school, because they’ll be processing this all summer,” Curtis said.
He said by taking these conversations on as soon as possible, kids should feel better and less anxious by the new school year.
“Particularly if the adults reassure them of how rare this is and what kind of safety there really is out there for them,” Curtis said.
Parents also need to be aware of signs of anxiety in their kids when an event like this happens. It could be a change in the pattern of behavior, sleep or irritability. Curtis pointed out every child is different and they all handle grief and anxiety differently, but at some point, most children begin to feel better.
“If anxiety and fear or other responses are staying the same, and it’s at a high level or getting worse, that’s when they need to get help,” Curtis said.
Idaho Youth Ranch offers resources for talking with children in response to Uvalde tragedy on their website.

Popular eatery Meraki Greek Street Food in downtown Boise moved from its current location on Tuesday.
According to restaurant owners Farrah and Aki Kalatzakis, their property owners raised the rent and decided to go with a tenant who had bigger sales projections.
“We put so much money and everything into just making it exactly how we wanted it,” Farrah Kalatzakis said. “We are in the process of moving everything out, it looks chaotic and crazy.”
The family owned and operated restaurant, located at 345 S Eighth St., has been in Boise for 5 ½ years. The owners had planned on renewing their lease because business was booming.
“Five months ago, when we started the negotiations, no way did I think we would be here, that we would be right here packing and leaving,” Aki Kalatzakis said.
“It’s something that’s happening across the board, across the Treasure Valley, business owners especially are dealing with the rents going up high,” Farrah Kalatzakis said.
The couple said their landlord presented them with a new lease that had a 30% monthly increase in rent from $6,300 a month to $8,190.
“We did not want to leave, so we found a way that we could make that work. They accepted our offer for the rent but we needed to make some concept changes to our front and our backline, and at that time they said they had another interested party,” Aki Kalatzakis said.
According to Aki, after two weeks of letting the landlord know they would deal with the rent increase, he was notified by Hendricks Commercial Properties that they were going with a different tenant.
Hendricks Commercial Properties is based out of Wisconsin and owns property across the street from Meraki, which the company plans to turn into a food hall, showcasing over 20 local restaurants and retailers. According to the Kalatzakises, they were unable to secure a spot in that building.
“We tried to negotiate, there wasn't really any budging on it, it was just, 'this is what it is,'” Farrah Kalatzakis said.
Hendricks Commercial Properties denied an interview with KTVB but sent a statement on the matter.
“The notification period for the Tenant to exercise their renewal option lapsed and subsequently the Tenant did not accept the renewal terms offered by our leasing team. We wish Meraki the best in their future endeavors - they are a great asset to the Boise community," Hendricks Commercial Properties said in the statement.
“I came here for the small family business feel, you know, passion,” said Butch Reichard, a manager at Meraki who’s been there for five years. “The small businesses are being pushed out and the bigger businesses are being brought in.”
Employees say they will stand by the couple's side and stick it out for a few months to before looking for a new job.
“To us, we are not done, we love what we do and the food that we bring the customers, the community, so we will find a new home,” Aki Kalatzakis said.

David A. Ruth has been named the next president of Northampton Community College, the school said Tuesday in a news release, succeeding Mark Erickson, who plans to retire next month after about a decade in charge.
Ruth, who began his postsecondary career with an associate degree from Hagerstown Community College in Hagerstown, Maryland, will become the school’s fifth president in its more than 50-year history.
The college conducted a nationwide search for the position.
“As a community college graduate, he identifies with our students and their needs; as someone who has worked at NCC in an executive role, he well understands the heart and soul of our college; and as someone who has been part of the leadership team at a major university, he brings a fresh perspective that will forge our successful future,” said Robert Fehnel, the Northampton board chair.
Ruth, who joined Northampton in 2016 as vice president and chief of staff, previously served 23 years at Drexel University in Philadelphia, including more than a decade as dean of students and chief student affairs officer. At Drexel, he led more than 120 staff members who provided curricular and co-curricular programs and services across multiple campus locations for 26,000 students.
Besides his associate degree, Ruth holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Maryland; a master’s degree in secondary education and mathematics from Lehigh University; and a doctorate degree in educational leadership from Drexel.
Ruth credited Erickson for leaving a legacy that includes doubling the school’s endowment in the last decade to $86 million, one of the largest among community colleges nationwide.
“This is such a special place with so many great past achievements and so many outstanding opportunities,” Ruth said. “It is a college of possibilities, of incredible promise, enormous potential and a depth of talented, truly committed people that are the life blood of NCC.”
Ruth takes over July 1 as president. He and his wife, Christine, have four children: Nick, 22; Nate, 18; Abby, 16; and Andy, 13.
Northampton, which was established in 1967, has campuses in Bethlehem Township, south Bethlehem and Monroe County, serving approximately 30,000 students each year from 25 states and 42 countries.

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.

Lincoln police say a Ford Taurus, driven by 18-year-old Kyvell Stark of Omaha, struck Siebenhor's Toyota. She had been turning north onto 52nd Street. The impact sent both cars off the road and onto the sidewalk, hitting onlookers there for the Memorial Day weekend cruise.
Stark hadn't been ticketed as of Tuesday. But in the crash report, police said he was speeding over the 40 mph limit when he went through a yellow light headed west.
His car rolled over several people and came to rest upside down.

Police said in the crash report that a breathalyzer test was negative. But he did test positive for marijuana.
Siebenhor was a junior in communication studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and has played in the Cornhusker Marching Band.
She and Hermosillo both were from Cozad and living in Lincoln. It's unknown if they were wearing seat belts.
Dustin Favinger, who was the victims’ junior high cross country coach and high school counselor, said they were both great kids.
“It’s never easy to lose anybody and when you lose someone who is young, it’s that much more difficult and mind boggling to try and wrap your head around,” said Favinger. “They were just two really wonderful kids and it’s a big loss to our world to have them gone.”

Congressman Frank Mrvan made a second recent appearance before the International Trade Commission to testify on the continuation of tariffs on cold-rolled steel imports last week.
Mrvan, co-chairman of the bi-partisan Congressional Steel Caucus, argued that targeted tariffs should be maintained on cold-rolled steel flat products from Brazil, China, India, Japan, Korea and the United Kingdom following a surge that hurt domestic steelmakers economically.
The tariffs were initiated during an import crisis in 2015. Tariffs grabbed a record 29% of the market share that year, plunging the capacity utilization rate as low as 70%.
"I am here today in support of our American steel manufacturers and workers and members of the United Steelworkers in this case regarding the continuation of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on cold-rolled steel flat products from Brazil, China, India, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom," he said during his testimony. "Similar to last week, six years ago to this very day, on May 24, 2016, Congressman Pete Visclosky, my mentor and predecessor for the First Congressional District, testified in person before you during the initial proceedings for this case."

The tariffs help preserve steel mill jobs in Northwest Indiana and across the nation, Mrvan said. They are now up for a five-year sunset review on whether they're still needed.
"The Steel Caucus has long advocated for the importance of ensuring that American workers can compete on a level playing field, and that is why we have adamantly supported the value of and continuation of the Section 232 steel tariffs," he said.
More than 50 members of Congress from both parties signed a letter in support of the duties to protect American steel jobs. They noted imports rose 43% last year and are up 28% so far this year.
"We note in the letter how global overcapacity remains a significant issue, and that a recent Steel Committee meeting at the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development heard reports that producers in Southeast Asia expect to bring over 90 million metric tons of steelmaking capacity online over the next 5-6 years," Mrvan said. "The letter also states that we encourage you to give these steel industry trade cases full and fair consideration, and that we believe they are critical to ensuring our domestic steel sector remains strong."

White Lodging has sold its last five remaining suburban hotels, after selling 25 suburban hotel management contracts to Pennsylvania-based HHM for an undisclosed sum earlier this year.
The Merrillville-based hospitality company is pivoting to focus on upscale urban hotels, such as high-end downtown properties in cities like Indianapolis, Austin, Louisville, Chicago, Denver, San Antonio, Nashville and Charlotte.
“White Lodging’s vision and focus are clearer than ever,” said Jean-Luc Barone, White Lodging’s CEO of hospitality management. “In addition to business clarity, our focused portfolio is tailored to support clearer career paths for associates with multiple hotels in concentrated urban markets — most just blocks away from each other.”
The company now has 50 premium hotels, 40 restaurants, 10 rooftop bars and luxury ranches across the nation. It shifted to primarily serve urban markets with upscale properties catering to business travelers and tourists.

Last year, the company opened four new hotels, including J.W. Marriott Charlotte, Canopy San Antonio Riverwalk, Moxy Austin University and Austin Marriott Downtown at the convention center. It also opened nine restaurants and bars.
Flush with proceeds from the sales on the suburban management contracts, the company plans to invest $750 million in hotels in San Antonio, Austin and Nashville, President Ken Barrett said.
It's renovating a 251-room in Texas into The Otis Hotel San Antonio, Autograph Collection, which is expected to open next year. It will start construction on another luxury hotel in the Texas city where they never forget the Alamo before the end of the year.
White Lodging also is working on projects in August and Nashville, where it purchased a large parcel of land in the SoBro entertainment district. It also acquired land near the convention center in Austin.
Founded by Bruce White in 1985, White Lodging is one of the country's largest hospitality companies.

GARY — Two men were killed and a third was wounded in three separate shootings from Friday to Sunday across the city, police said.
A 25-year-old Merrillville man died Monday night at Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus in Gary after he was shot just before 6:30 p.m. in the 1900 block of Missouri Street, police said.
Witnesses at the scene told police they heard gunshots and went outside to find the man on the ground, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, Cmdr. Jack Hamady said.
The man was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, he said.
Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call Detective Sgt. Daryl Gordon, of the Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit, at 219-755-3855.
On Sunday, Gary police were dispatched about 3:45 p.m. to the hospital for a 17-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the top of his left foot, Hamady said.
The boy told police he was playing basketball about 1 p.m. when he heard gunshots and realized he'd been hit.

Officers found Davis unresponsive and seated inside a silver vehicle, Hamady said.
Anyone with information about Davis' homicide is asked to call Detective Sgt. William Poe at 219-755-3855.

VALPARAISO — A former Porter County police officer is going to prison for child neglect that left his young son severely disabled.
Lake Superior Court Judge Michael A. Fish imposed a 10-year sentence Tuesday on 52-year-old Curtis Jones for delaying medical aid to the then 6-month-old Braxson.
The boy, who is now 6 years old, is blind and unable to walk, feed himself or communicate on his own.
Jones, speaking publicly for the first time since his trial began in April, demanded the judge overturn two neglect counts now on his record and free him from what his lawyer described as an irrational, hate-filled prosecution.
“For the last six years, I have been living in this hellish nightmare,” Jones said.
The boy’s mother, Susan Jones, called Curtis Jones a “monster” and demanded he receive the maximum prison term of 15 years.
Fish chose the middle ground.
People are also reading…
The judge suspended five years of a 15-year judgment and refused to declare Braxson a victim of shaken baby syndrome since last month’s jury acquitted Jones of battering the child.
Fish also rejected defense claims Jones did nothing wrong, and was the real victim in a six-year legal drama.
He said Jones, a nursing student and former police officer, should have acted immediately when his then 6-month-old son began having breathing problems early July 24, 2016, in their home.
The judge said Jones ignored the danger signs and displayed a leisurely attitude about his son’s medical difficulties when he finally called 911 for help.
“He has shown zero remorse today. Nor has he apologized. This was a tragic case. It will be difficult to believe justice can be done because I can’t return Braxson Jones to good health,” the judge said.
The judge said only Jones and the boy know what happened between midnight, when Jones took over from a babysitter, and when he called his wife at her overnight nursing job to say Braxson was cold, stiff and barely breathing. He then called 911.
The paramedic who responded to the distress call testified at last month’s trial he did not notice any injuries or suspect child abuse.
But doctors found bleeding and a swelling of the child’s brain they said could only be explained by head trauma.
A Porter Superior Court jury heard three weeks of evidence and deliberated 28 hours before acquitting Jones May 13 of battery, but convicting him of neglect verdicts that left neither the prosecution nor defense dissatisfied.
The mother said afterwards she remains upset it took six years to achieve, blaming a former prosecutor and judge in the case of handling the former police officer too leniently.
She said Braxson survived a recent bout with COVID-19, but still requires 24-hour care, faces major surgeries and a shortened life expectancy. “He’s trapped in a body that doesn’t work,” she said.
She said she will sue to terminate Jones’ parental rights and hopes Indiana law will be changed so Jones could be prosecuted for homicide if Braxson does die prematurely.
Jones, wearing orange Porter County Jail coveralls and handcuffed for most of the hearing, told the court, “What am I guilty of? Please see that I was innocent. The whole (prosecution) case was to show I was so stressed out that I snapped … that I hurt my son."
He argued Braxson had been a sickly child previously and he and the mother took him to hospital emergency rooms, only to be told it was a minor infection and the child was otherwise healthy.
So he said he wasn’t overly alarmed that morning: “I didn’t know how sick Braxson was.”
He said he called the boy’s mother and then 911 that morning. "If I had wanted to neglect him, I wouldn’t have called anyone. I would have left him sleeping in his swing and he wouldn’t be here today,” Jones said.
The boy sat quietly in the courtroom audience section in a child-sized mobility chair, only moaning occasionally during the two-hour sentencing.

UVALDE, Texas — The El Progreso Library in Uvalde may have been the noisiest place in town Tuesday.
All day long, nobody told anyone to be quiet.
From the parking lot, where a barrel train rumbled around the grounds all day long, to the squeals of shock related to a magic show, kids of all ages were able to escape from days of distress in a lively event to kick off the library's summer reading program.
Organizers say this summer they will be about far more than books.
Volunteer Lorena Auguste said "All of us have had to re-evaluate and restructure our whole lives, and that's impossible to do in one week. And we thought we can't just let them stay at home. We can't just let the parents carry on emotionally. We need to keep the engaged."
Auguste said she got the idea to go big with the summer program while talking with a friend who was using arts and crafts to help her daughter cope with the trauma of the last week.
"She said 'I have to distract her,' and I thought a positive distraction. You know? Focus on something else! What if we did this on a bigger scale?" Auguste said.
Auguste said face painting, magic tricks, popcorn making and more all help establish a sense of new normal.
"It doesn't mean that life is over. We're showing them that yes, life still goes on. That through these small little creative processes, they're learning to process their own ideas, their own feelings and thoughts. They're learning that it is okay to express themselves," Auguste said.
A mom named Nan was delighted to find her young son transformed into a tiger by a face painter.
Nan said "It's a sad time right now and it's nice to get out and have people here that help the kiddos see there is still light and happiness and our community can survive this."
Nan said she has been bringing her kids to the library for years, but this year feels more important than ever.
"It's pretty fun here and I feel totally safe and it's such a special place for kids and a great escape from tv and the sadness everyone is feeling in their homes right now," Nan said.
Auguste said the special activities planned for the summer will help both kids and adults.
"Parents are encouraged to come to all the activities! This didn't just happen to your children. It happened to you too!" Auguste said.
As memorial services continue for the 21 people who died one week ago, Auguste said even though the immediate crisis is over, now is the time to look to the future and work on showing kids how to heal.
"We saved them physically but now we need to save them mentally and emotionally. That is so crucial, because they are our future! They can't be carrying this emotional baggage and drama for the next 10, 15, 20 years and then they end up doing something terrible because they shoved it down," Auguste said.
The theme of the El Progreso Memorial Library summer reading program is "Oceans of Possibilities." A giant cloth octupus is suspended from the ceiling in the kid's area, and child art hangs around a bright, colorful space.
In addition to the plans already in place, they have added a new campaign they are calling The Los Angelitos Robb Memorial Fund, for people who want to support their efforts after the shooting at the elementary school last week.
The library website said any resources donated between now and July 1 will be added to a fund to help children.
Donations will be used to acquire books, programs, activities and performances that will benefit kids left vulnerable by recent events.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) – Headlines have been circulating with whispers of a potential new public health threat – monkeypox.
The World Health Organization’s top monkeypox expert said she does not expect the 550 cases in 30 countries reported to date to turn into another pandemic but said that there are still many unknowns about the disease.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported one case in Virginia and no cases in Tennessee. Local health officials told News Channel 11 that so far, no cases have been reported in the Tri-Cities region.
At Ballad Health, Chief Infection Prevention Officer Jamie Swift is working to prepare for anything, even though she does not anticipate a great impact on the hospital system.
“I relate this back to how we were preparing for Ebola in the health system,” Swift said. “The risk is low that we’re going to have a case but what we don’t want to happen is for a case to be in our facility and us not know it.”
Swift explained that the hospital system has been working with emergency room and outpatient care providers to ensure they ask patients about their travel in the last few weeks to limit any potential spread since summer travel is expected to pick up.
Dr. Stephen May, the Sullivan County Regional Health Department’s medical director, told News Channel 11 that part of preventing the spread of this virus is that important questionnaire.
“Should we have a physician, emergency room, clinic, that feels that they may be dealing with the case of monkeypox, we have a standard questionnaire that we look for where they traveled, how they had unknown exposure to someone else with monkeypox?” May said. “Did the disease progression match clinically what we would think of the disease with that?”
May said certain permissions are needed at the local level to send specimens away for testing to determine if they are seeing a case of monkeypox or another similar virus. He said the confirmation is then sent to the CDC, which conducts the conformational testing.
May added that monkeypox is more serious than a bout of chickenpox but nothing to panic over.
Virginia Department of Health Population Health Manager for the Mount Rogers Health District Breanne Forbes Hubbard told News Channel 11 that symptoms include fevers, chills, and “sort of blisters or lesions on the skin and monkeypox specifically, you can get some swollen lymph nodes associated with that.”
She added that May is correct; there’s nothing for the general public in the region to worry about.
“We want physicians to be evaluating with a careful eye for anything that looks like it could be monkeypox, but this is not something where we in public health are going ‘Oh my gosh, we’ve got to rev up for the next big monkeypox emergency’ at this point,” Forbes Hubbard said.
The reaction to headlines of monkeypox cases popping up worldwide may be a form of panic based on the novel coronavirus pandemic and the similarities with how cases were systematically reported.
“The reaction to it might be a little bit because we’re so sensitive to COVID-19,” Forbes Hubbard said.
Experts said the spread of monkeypox is not as easy as with COVID-19.
“Right now, we don’t have any known cases. It really does take close contact, so even though it’s airborne, it’s gotta have prolonged exposure,” Swift said. “So you’re not gonna get monkeypox passing someone in the grocery store. It does not spread that easily. It’s going to be those large droplets.”
The public health department’s role in monitoring the spread of the monkeypox outbreak is case investigation, contact notification and isolation assignments.
“Should we see a particular case, the good news about monkeypox is [it’s] rarely respiratory. Orally transmitted is primarily a disease of close contact,” May said.
There are two vaccines currently available. Both are contained in the Strategic National Stockpile should it be needed, May added.
“Of course, with smallpox, it was completely eradicated because there’s no other host. However, with monkeypox, there are certain animal vectors that can harbor the disease, and we really don’t want that to get started,” May said. “We do know that there is an element of protection with those who had smallpox vaccine. Now the smallpox vaccine generation though is waning and rapidly decreasing, which means we have a very, very large element of the population that could be susceptible.”
Experts suggest speaking with primary care providers if you experience any potential symptoms of monkeypox, especially after traveling to places like Asia or Africa.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) – A regional organization dedicated to fighting poverty in Northeast Tennessee was recognized Tuesday.
Sullivan County Mayor Richard Venable and Kingsport Mayor Pat Shull issued a proclamation to the Upper East Tennessee Human Development Agency (UETHDA), thanking the organization for almost six decades of continued assistance to communities. The proclamation was made as part of Community Action Month.
Organization leaders say the UETHDA strives to help individuals experiencing hardships and difficulty sustaining themselves without government assistance.
“We’ve had a lot of people since COVID hit that have approached our doors or contacted us through the website, and they have never reached out for assistance before,” said UETHDA Executive Director Tim Jaynes.
“It’s OK. We understand that people are going to struggle. Let us help you get through those struggles and provide the resources that are there.”
Jaynes told News Channel 11 that one way the agency helps people is by creating a plan for them to become more self-sufficient, which may include pursuing an education or building job skills.
The UETHDA has assisted more than 22,000 families.

OXFORD • Legendary performer and philanthropist Dolly Parton captured the hearts of two University of Mississippi audiences during her recent visit to accept the Legacy Award from the Ole Miss Women's Council for Philanthropy.
"Storytime with Dolly" featured the special guest reading "The Little Engine That Could" by Watty Piper and talking about literacy to a packed Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts. Sponsored by Regions Bank, the event was part of the OMWC Rose Garden Literacy Project.
"Regions Bank has served Oxford and communities across north Mississippi for decades, and community engagement is part of Regions' mission to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve," said Brett Shaffer, community relations manager for Regions Bank. "Education is a key part of our work, so we were honored to sponsor 'Storytime with Dolly.'
"We salute the Ole Miss Women's Council for Philanthropy and the University of Mississippi for their work to support education and opportunities for all," Shaffer added.
Then, Parton was honored at the Legacy Award dinner at The Jefferson event venue, where she surprised the audience by performing two songs and playing guitar. The C Spire Foundation was the presenting sponsor.
"The C Spire Foundation is very pleased to support the Ole Miss Women's Council and the Legacy Award since its very beginning," said Beth Pickering, the foundation's executive director. "Our values align similarly in a belief in education and mentorship that will inspire and develop students' leadership skills and future success."
Pickering called Parton a "living legend" and "an amazing example of philanthropy for all of us."
The Legacy Award recognizes individuals who epitomize the council's goals of philanthropy, leadership and mentorship. Although Parton is known as a successful country music singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, record producer, actress and author, her commitment to elevating other people is a major part of her life.
The 2020 award presentation was postponed twice because of the pandemic.
"Having Dolly here will be remembered as one of those magical Ole Miss moments, which makes the Ole Miss Women's Council family unique and illustrates the widespread appeal of the mission to create a more caring and ethical society one scholar at a time," said Liz Randall, the council's chair.
Parton and Mary and Sam Haskell are longtime friends and business associates. Mary Haskell is a member and former OMWC chair. Sam Haskell, of Magnolia Hills Productions, is the executive producer of Parton's movies and specials and recently won an Emmy for Outstanding Television Movie for the 2021 "Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square."
Haskell and Parton met 42 years ago, and he became her agent with the William Morris Agency in 1995. After he retired from the agency business in 2005, the two segued into a production partnership with Warner Brothers Studio and have successfully executed movies together for the past decade.
One focus of the popular entertainer's philanthropy is her Imagination Library, a program that sends free, high-quality books to children from birth to age 5, regardless of their family's income. The organization sends books monthly to children around the world.
"I see the unparalleled and universal appeal of Dolly Parton due in large part to her consistency in being respectful and kind to all people, and her lifelong commitment to philanthropic efforts," Randall said. "Dolly has been honest about why literacy, for example, is so meaningful to her family by citing candidly that her father could not read."
Randall said Parton transformed her childhood hardships into a way to help children all around the world.
"She took that hardship in her life and turned it into an organization, the Imagination Library, which has distributed close to 200 million books around the world – the perfect example of a philanthropist doing it for all the right reasons," Randall said. "She is elevating the lives of children, who are the most important part of society."
Parton was hosted for the weekend by the Haskells, who took her to several local spots.
"Dolly loved the beauty of Oxford and the Ole Miss campus, but she especially responded to the hearts of all the people involved that she met," Mary Haskell said. "She was overwhelmed by the generosity she experienced here during her Legacy Award weekend."
Philanthropy was on display by the Ole Miss family throughout the OMWC Legacy Award weekend.
At "Storytime with Dolly," the council surprised Sarah McLellan, executive director of the Lafayette County Literacy Council, with a $25,000 contribution for the Imagination Library program. Haskell shared the inspiration behind the gift.
"When the OMWC held our 20th anniversary in 2020, Dolly allowed us to auction a dinner for 10 people to dine with her at our home the evening before the Legacy Award dinner," Haskell said. "It seemed only right that we share the proceeds of that successful fundraising opportunity she provided us, so the $25,000 donation to her Imagination Library, supporting the local chapter here in Lafayette County, was determined.
"Dolly said, 'This is the first time I've ever seen one charity donate to another charity; now that's something,'" Haskell added.
Besides the OMWC gift, title sponsor C Spire Foundation announced it would make a $25,000 donation to the North Panola County Imagination Library program in honor of Parton.
"Philanthropy is contagious and works the best when it serves in all directions – this creates a compounding effect in the impact," Randall said.

Parties have reached a settlement in a federal lawsuit brought by a former Bismarck police sergeant who alleged gender discrimination and wrongful termination against the department and its former chief.
The agreement between Robyn Krile and the Bismarck Police Department comes about a week before the matter was to go to trial. Full details of the agreement, including the amount of the settlement, were not immediately disclosed. Attorneys are finishing the necessary paperwork and have 45 days to file closing documents with the court.
Krile in January 2019 filed the lawsuit, alleging the department used “a systemic ruse of performance/supervisory/misconduct allegations to devalue” her and keep her from advancing to the rank of lieutenant.
She filed after losing a discrimination case before the state Department of Labor and Human Rights, a finding that was upheld by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Her lawsuit sought more than $100,000 in damages for pain and suffering, lost pay and other reasons.

The city admits no liability in the suit but will provide a cash settlement, according to City Attorney Jannelle Combs.
“The lawsuit was settled in the best interests of all the parties,” she said. “This allows all the parties and witnesses to focus back on working together and making our communities in Burleigh County safer with the great law enforcement members in our local police departments.”
Krile in November 2019 became police chief in Lincoln, a bedroom community just southeast of Bismarck.
Her attorney, Chris Redmann, said the settlement with Bismarck recovers for his client “a suitable amount when compared to a jury verdict at trial,” without having members of the department testify about their knowledge of discrimination, disparate discipline, or personal situations involving preferential treatment.
“It was never our desire to embarrass or drag through the proverbial mud the many hardworking, dedicated officers and sergeants who keep our city safe,” Redmann said. “However, it was always our desire to obtain some accountability for what occurred and to shed light on gender-motivated stereotypes and discrimination that still occur in the modern workplace, particularly in law enforcement.”
The settlement also instructs the police department to remove two disciplinary letters placed in Krile’s file during the time when the discrimination is alleged to have occurred, Redmann said.
Krile was a sergeant and a 13-year veteran of the Bismarck force when she was fired in March 2017 after then-Assistant Burleigh County State’s Attorney Julie Lawyer deemed her not to be a credible witness in court. That led Krile to file a defamation case against Lawyer, who is now Burleigh County state’s attorney. A judge dismissed the case, and the state Supreme Court in February upheld the dismissal.

WASHINGTON — An important conversation being held in the shadow of the funerals for the 21 victims of the Uvalde massacre is happening on Capitol Hill. A bipartisan group of senators met remotely Tuesday to talk about a path forward on gun safety legislation.
Leading the Republican response will be Sen, John Cornyn of Texas, with Sen. Chris Murphy from Connecticut leading the side for the Democrats.
President Joe Biden grieved with the shattered community of Uvalde on Sunday, mourning privately for three hours with anguished families of the 19 schoolchildren and two teachers killed by a gunman. Faced with chants of “do something” as he departed a church service, Biden pledged: “We will.”
Cornyn told reporters Monday that he hopes they can come up with a basic framework for gun proposals in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting. The idea is for Republicans and Democrats to reach a compromise on something that can pass in the Senate.
"We will, in the course of investigations and oversight, and in terms of legislation that may be considered, be looking to try to find ways to try to make events like this less likely to happen in the future," Cornyn said.
It's a compromise that Murphy believes is possible.
"Right now, parents in this country and kids are desperate for us to do something," Murphy said. "They are frightened. They're anxious. And we will just add to their anxiety if nothing happens again."
Bi-partisan efforts
The bi-partisan effort is a step forward in trying to get a framework to pass legislation through a 50/50 Senate.
"Trying to find some common grounds on changes to our gun laws to make sure that dangerous people don’t get their hands on dangerous weapons," Murphy said.
Actually reaching a point where gun legislation can pass and become law will take some time and potential concessions.
"There are limitations under federal law of what sort of firearms you can buy and own and maintain ... if you have a criminal or mental health record. And we’ll be looking at all of that," Cornyn said.
Universal background checks, red flag laws and regulation of high-powered guns could also be considered.
"I’m also realistic about what we can accomplish. We don’t have to end the epidemic of gun violence in this nation with one piece of legislation. What we need to do is break this log jam," Murphy said.
Both senators said they're not going to negotiate publicly but mental health funding and toughening school infrastructure could be a start.
Cornyn released this statement:
“Senators Murphy, Sinema, Tillis, and I had a very constructive conversation about the best response to the horrific events in Uvalde last week. We’ve asked our staff to continue to work together to address some of the details that we hope to be able to discuss at some point soon."
What's happening in Texas?
Meanwhile, Texas State Senate Democrats, including Sen. Roland Gutierrez who represents the Uvalde community, are calling on Gov. Greg Abbott to convene a special session on gun control. That task could prove difficult given the Republican majority in the legislature.
Among the proposals that Democrats are pushing for include tightening the background check system used for buying guns, and providing federal money for states to set up red flag laws. which would allow judges to order guns to be seized from people deemed dangerous.
But some Republicans, including Rep. Troy Nehls, say they aren't convinced more gun control is the answer.
"If you think the felons out there, and the bad hombres out there ... the ones that mean harm to their fellow Americans and other people ... if you think they're going to abide by your rules and your laws forget it they're not going to happen," Nehls said.
At this time, Abbott has not said whether he will call lawmakers into a special session.
What's happening in Houston?
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner is also weighing in on what he thinks the deal should look like, much of which echoes what many Democrats are pushing for:
- Raising the age to buy an assault weapon to 21
- Red flag laws
- Universal background checks
- Texas Legislature should repeal permitless carry

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — The Fayetteville Police Department is advising citizens to look out for shareholders traveling in for the Walmart 2022 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
Sergeant Anthony Murphy with the Fayetteville Police Department says the event will bring a lot of traffic to Northwest Arkansas and advises citizens to look out for the traffic.
“A lot of the shareholders that come into town are pedestrian traffic so we’re going to need citizens to look out for those pedestrians as they’re crossing our crosswalks, as they’re walking up and down the streets of Fayetteville,” said Sgt. Murphy. “They’re going to be exploring, a lot of them have never been here, and it’s a real beautiful area.”
According to Sgt. Murphy, some of the locations likely to be affected by traffic include Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Dickson Street, the Entertainment District, and the University of Arkansas.
The Walmart Shareholders’ meeting is being held virtually on Wednesday, according to their website.
Leading to Friday, many in-person events are being held in Northwest Arkansas as Shareholders travel into the region. On Friday, June 3, they’ll hold their traditional Friday Associate Celebration at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
“If someone looks lost, stop and help them. A lot of these individuals are not from the united states so it might be their first time to the United States,” said Sgt. Murphy. “And they get to come to Fayetteville Arkansas so we can really give them a good impression of the people that live here in and of our community”
Sergeant Murphy explained the Fayetteville Police Department would be assisting the University and other involved agencies with the events this week. He said the police department would be staffing extra officers who sometimes find their duty enjoyable. He explained speaking to shareholders is a good opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Focused and determined, 23-year-old Danny Steele is getting ready to compete in front of hundreds at the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games.
The event is taking place at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, but the golf tournament will be at the Orange County National Golf Center starting June 6.

“This makes my heart feel happy and I’m only one child and alone and I can (connect) with my people. You know it makes me feel good,” Danny Steele said.
It was April 2021 that Danny Steele showed News 6 some of his swings before he was selected to play for the Special Olympics.
He works a part-time job at Publix and practices golf every week. His father, Jim Steele, said he’s ready to give it his all.
“He’s hitting about 500 balls a week and he’s playing once a week and he’s working 24 hours a week at Publix so he’s busy and that’s fantastic a young, autistic young man,” Jim Steele explained.
There are cell phone videos that show the golfer practicing throughout the last couple of months, some of which are posted on social media to motivate other athletes.
“I’m working extra hard,” Danny Steele said.
Jim Steele said his son will be playing nine holes for four days at the Special Olympics.
“As I told him, we are not trying to win. We know... there are some really good players. We’re just going to hopefully try and play the best he can and have a lot of fun,” Jim Steele said.
The Special Olympics USA Games will take place June 5-12.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Rep. Val Demings, who has served as a Democratic congresswoman for part of Orlando since 2017, is officially looking for a higher office.
Demings formally filed to run for U.S. Senate Tuesday in Tallahassee.
“Only in America can the daughter of a maid and janitor have such an amazing opportunity,” Demings said in a tweet after filing paperwork.
Demings is looking to replace Florida’s senior senator, Republican Marco Rubio, who is up for re-election. Rubio has not filed his campaign paperwork yet, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
“This race is between (Rubio) and me,” Demings said afterward. “And at the end of the day, the voters will have a clear choice, between someone who has been in elected office since 1998, God bless him, or someone who has put on a bulletproof vest at night, left my sons at home, tucked them in bed and (went) to work to protect our community.”
— Val Demings (@valdemings) May 31, 2022
So far, six Democrats have filed their intention to run for U.S. Senate. Demings is heavily expected to be the nominee after the August primary.
Before Demings was a congresswoman, she was chief of the Orlando Police Department.
The Florida qualifying period for the 2022 Election runs from June 13 through June 17.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – The office manager of a marine towing company in Ormond Beach is facing charges for stealing more than $200,000 from the company by increasing her own pay without the owner knowing, deputies said.
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office reported that Jamie Mann, 35, changed information in the company’s payroll to give herself three $5 hourly raises — overpaying herself more than $165,000 between September 2019 and April 2022.
[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!)]
Investigators said Mann gave the owner different payroll records to hide how much she was actually receiving from the company.
In addition to the raises, investigators stated Mann also gave herself extra pay for “on-call” time and overtime.
The department reported that while Mann had a salary of approximately $41,000 for 2021, she received more than $122,000 for a reported 4,127.2 hours of work.
Mann stole more than $201,000 in undue pay raises, extra compensation and payroll tax costs, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies who reviewed Mann’s bank records said much of the money was spent on Amazon purchases, amusement park tickets, decorations and other recreational expenses.
Mann was arrested Friday and taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail before being released Saturday after posting $50,000 bail. She faces a charge for grand theft.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — As students in the Mountain State are walking across the stage and getting their high school diplomas, one thing is weighing on many of their minds. “Will I stay in West Virginia?”
“I think it took forever and I’m really glad it finally got to this point,” said Hurricane High School graduate Allison Pauley, about graduation day.
Pauley is enlisted in the Navy and will be leaving the area right after graduation. Her friend, Hannah Holstein, is headed to college in the state. After that, she plans to teach school in West Virginia.
“It is just where I feel safe. My family is here, everybody I know is here and I’m excited,” Holstein said.
The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission tracked 2014-2015 graduates by the highest degree level earned in the Mountain State.
After five years, they found that 46% of those with only a high school diploma were working in West Virginia, and 41% of those with a bachelor’s degree stayed.
Students say the decision sometimes comes down to where they can find work.
“I feel like it is probably more difficult to find a job here than in bigger cities where there are more opportunities getting out of college,” said graduate Kaylee Dawson.
Students like Hannah Holstein say more could be done to help her and her classmates stay close to home.
“Someone needs to come in and make a change and really make a growth in the economy,” she said.

PRICHARD, WV (WOWK) – Bulletproof backpack sales are up as parents across the country appear to be sending their children to school with extra protection following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas that killed 19 students and two teachers.
Each backpack insert can cost between $100-$400.
Shop owners describe them as “lighter than a textbook” and explained they come in different shapes to fit into the backpack perfectly and different sizes depending on the child’s size and to protect against certain types of bullets.
One local shop says whereas these would typically sit on the shelves, recently, they’ve been going quick.
“If we get 24, we’ll sell 24 in a week,” explained Bobby Zeek, the tactical consultant for Sportsman Gun and Pawn in Barboursville.
He says, before this point, they had never seen this type of demand.
“It was pretty slow moving, and then once the shootings happened, they’re gone. I mean it was daily, twice, two to three times a day. Now, we’re getting phone calls constantly,” Zeek explained.
And a little further south, a bulletproof insert maker in Virginia say they’re getting requests like never before.
“We are getting more calls, but we’re also not just getting calls for the ballistic panels. We are getting more calls from police departments for their SRO’s (school resource officers), as do we offer products that can help them in an active shooter situation, since they are by themselves when all of this first happens,” says Erin Mckee, with CW Armor in Roanoke, VA.
She says after school shootings across the country, her children have had plates in their backpacks since preschool.
And now, with demand growing, they’re putting in more time to ensure they can supply.

Gas tax in Maryland set to increase on July 1. Comptroller says hike tied to a 'bad law'
Memorial Day travel may have been pricey this year for Marylanders, but the Fourth of July travel may be more expensive because of an automatic increase in the state’s gas tax.
Legislative leaders appear to be content with accepting the scheduled tax hike for another year despite pushback from some elected officials.
On Thursday, the price of a gallon of gas in Maryland was $4.59, according to AAA, less than a cent below the national average. But a 2013 law, which ties the state’s gas tax to inflation, is set to push prices up roughly six more cents per gallon on July 1 if state lawmakers don’t take additional action.
In a May 24 letter to state leaders, State House Republicans called for a special legislative session to address the automatic inflationary increase, but the Democratic leadership all but nixed that idea in a joint statement on Wednesday.
“The problem is not the marginal impact of $0.06 inflation adjustment to the wholesale gas tax,” said Senate President Bill Ferguson and House Speaker Adrienne Jones in a statement. “The problem is big oil companies exploiting global uncertainty to drive the price of gas to more than $4 a gallon.”
In the three weeks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, gas prices in the U.S. rose roughly 60 cents per gallon from about $3.60 to around $4.20, according to GasBuddy, an app that tracks price and fuel availability. Russia supplies about 12 percent of the world’s oil (used to make gas), according to J.P. Morgan estimates. Prices nationally have not dipped back below $4 since the invasion and the subsequent White House ban on Russian oil.
No gas tax suspension planned
Marylanders, however, had relief in the form of a gas tax holiday, which the legislature approved earlier this year. The “holiday” suspended the state’s 36 cent gas tax from March 18 until April 18, bringing the price of a gallon of gas under $4.
House Republicans in their letter urged the gas tax to be suspended again — this time for up to an additional 90 days. But only the governor, Larry Hogan, can call a special session of the legislature at the request of the majority from each house to address the issue. And Ferguson and Jones, at least temporarily, seem to disagree with another gas tax suspension.
“Temporary tax holidays have long-term consequences,” their statement said. “We cannot have a reliable transportation network that regularly experiences failing conditions due to insufficient funding and deferred maintenance.”
The gas tax contributes to the state’s Transportation Trust Fund, used for road maintenance and other transportation projects. The issue of tying the gas tax increase to inflation has come under scrutiny in recent months.
“The time is now to end the automatic gas [tax] increase,” said State Senator Mary Beth Carozza, R-38-Worcester, in a March 20 press release. Republican gubernatorial candidate Kelly Schulz, the state's former labor secretary, has also called for repeal.
The state’s tax collector, Comptroller Peter Franchot, who is required to announce the increase to the gas tax based on the inflation requirement on or before June 1, called for lawmakers to use the state’s budget surplus this year to pay for the increase.
“We’re going to do the absolute wrong thing and increase the price of gas,” Franchot said. “The state could pay the equivalent of 7 cents per gallon.”
Franchot, a Democrat who is running for governor in the July 19 primary election, said the legislature that instituted this law years ago never anticipated this situation of rapid inflation.
He called the projected increase from 36 cents to 42 cents per gallon, a “tax increase without any justification.”
“This happened by like a robot, just like a computer, it was automatic,” he said. “Hopefully, inflation will calm down and next year we can have a rational discussion as to whether the law [tying the gas tax increase to inflation] should actually exist. I don’t think it should.”

Eastern Shore millionaire: Lucky winner claims life-changing Maryland Lottery prize
Wicomico County has at least one more millionaire this week with a huge winning Maryland Lottery ticket sold in Mardela Springs.
That lucky winner purchased the life-changing, $1 million-winning Show Me $1,000,000 ticket at the Goose Creek store at 24948 Ocean Gateway in Mardela Springs.
That winning ticket has been claimed, but wasn't the only $1 million-winning ticket sold in Maryland in the most recent week. A $1 million ticket was also sold in the Mega Millions game in Rising Sun, but that prize had yet to be claimed.
And that gigantic Mardela Springs prize was one of just four winning tickets sold on the Eastern Shore in the latest Maryland Lottery week.

Season opens for Gaylord Farmers Market at the Pavilion
GAYLORD — Farmers markets are becoming economic and community centerpieces in cities and towns across the nation, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The farmers market in downtown Gaylord was scheduled to open on May 28 at the Pavilion on Court Avenue. It will operate from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturdays until October, according to Mike Burzynski, who is in charge of the market.
Wednesday markets will come later in the summer, he added.
About 20 vendors are currently lined up for the Gaylord market.
"I want the people to know that vendors are coming here to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy products that are grown and raised locally," said Burzynski. "Obviously some of the vendors will be from outside (of Gaylord and Otsego County) but the majority are local."

The theme for the opening of the market was maple and honey. Baked goods and other items made of or with maple and honey were featured.
In addition to produce, Burzynski said the market will include some new items like kettle corn along with poultry, meat products and even flower arrangements.
"We want to increase the options available to shoppers," said Burzynski.
Some of the vendors have been involved with farmers markets for over 40 years "so they bring a wealth of experience" to the Gaylord market, noted Burzynski.
Burzynski is encouraging nonprofit organizations to come down to the market and do some fundraising.
"They don't have to pay a large fee," he said. "We have made it reasonable for (nonprofits and vendors) to be here."
Burzynski is hopeful he can get a fresh fish vendor to come to the market and he is looking for a fruit grower.
"It's hard for fruit growers because in some cases they just don't have the staff," he said.
Bobby McNamara of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), which leases the Pavilion to Burzynski, said the farmers market is critical to luring people downtown in the summer.
"A lot of communities have a market and I think it is almost an expectation of residents and visitors to have a place to go and get local produce. Anything we can do to draw people downtown is good. It's also important for local farmers who need an outlet to sell their crops," said McNamara.
Farmers markets provide opportunities for small farmers and businesses to sell their products directly to the consumer and help meet the demand for locally-produced food. Being able to quickly and directly market to the consumer gives farmers important income opportunities without the added costs of shipping, storage and inventory control, according to the agriculture department.

SEATTLE — Dan Price, a Seattle CEO known for cutting his salary and raising his employees' pay, pleaded not guilty to assault and reckless driving after a woman reported he attempted to forcefully kiss her earlier this year.
Additionally, a harassment no-contact order was issued.
His bond was exonerated under conditions of release.
According to the police report, a 26-year-old woman met with Price in January after they exchanged messages on Instagram. The woman told police she met with Price after he told her he wanted to talk about "professional matters" in person.
The woman allegedly met with Price at a restaurant downtown on the night of Jan. 20. The woman told police Price got "very drunk" at the restaurant, according to documents.
The woman attempted to order an Uber, and Price suggested waiting in his Tesla until it arrived. Once inside his car, Price allegedly attempted to force a kiss on the woman and grabbed her throat when she pushed him away. Documents say the woman told police he became "incredibly angry," and his demeanor completely changed.
According to documents, Price then drove the woman to a North Seattle parking lot and did "donuts" with his car before attempting to kiss her again.
The documents say the woman's boyfriend was eventually able to make contact with her and drove her away.
Price allegedly texted the woman the next day, “Thanks for meeting me last night."
Price's attorney, Mark Middaugh, called the allegations "absolutely false" after Price was initially charged, adding they have evidence that contradicts details of the police report and raises "serious doubts about the complainant's credibility."
Following Price's not guilty plea, Middaugh said, "Dan looks forward to his day in court."
Price, the CEO of Gravity Payments, a credit card processing service, gained national recognition in 2015 when he publicly announced he would raise all of his employees' salaries to $70,000 while cutting his own.

SEATTLE — The Seattle City Council unanimously approved first-of-its-kind legislation requiring companies like UberEats and DoorDash to pay their workers the city's minimum wage.
The legislation, brought forward by Seattle City Councilmembers Lisa Herbold and Andrew Lewis, establishes a formula that considers factors like a per-minute amount, a per-mile amount and engaged minutes and miles to determine an app worker's compensation.
App workers who begin their trips in Seattle are required to be compensated based on the formula regardless of where the end destination is. App workers who begin their trips elsewhere will be required to be compensated based on the portion of the trip they spent in Seattle.
The legislation will also create more transparency about how payments are split between workers and app-based companies.
Herbold and Lewis held meetings and public hearings with app workers and stakeholders for over a year while drafting the legislation.
“We live in an expensive city; many delivery workers earn below the minimum wage after expenses and tips are accounted for,” said Herbold. “App-based work is one of the fastest-growing sectors of our economy with more workers turning to this type of work. The passage of this legislation will help tens of thousands of delivery workers make ends meet while maintaining their flexibility.”
Companies like UberEats and DoorDash have come out against the legislation, saying the payment requirements could lead to "dramatically increased costs" of delivery, consequentially leading to less work for drivers.
Several other pieces of legislation related to app-worker protections are expected to follow. The next bills will seek to address restroom access, anti-discrimination policies, background checks, deactivation protection and the creation of a gig-worker advisory board for the city of Seattle.

Last year, beekeepers in New York and across the country had their 2nd worst losses on record. Beekeeper Scott Hart knows the bees are under attack by humans and nature.
"There’s pesticides, there’s lack of habitat which is a big one for me. There is the varroa mite which is bringing seven different viruses with it."
Scott's been working on a natural way of dealing with the varroa mites, but there’s a mixture of pesticides, slated at the most ecologically damaging pesticides ever created, that are threatening the survival of the species.
"There’s some neonicotinoids that are killing them off, but they’re not as bad as some of the fungicides, and then when they get mixed there’s a synergistic effect, and that kind of compounds things to where we don’t really know what the effect is."
The Moses Quinby Bee Convention is a place where beekeepers can discuss what they’re doing to combat the death rates, and the practices beekeepers are using to improve the health of bees.
"I’m going to be going over a little bit of what I’ve done with my bees, and the genetics that I’ve done, and some of the test results I’ve gotten out of them."
Beekeeping has been around for ages, but there is new developments in technology.
"There is a lot of new technologies. I really am not that much into them, so I don’t really know. I know there is a lot of different stuff. There’s hive tracking tools, there’s like scales you can put underneath them to tell the weight, the humidity, and such in the hive. I’ve never used it. I’m kind of an old fashioned simple beekeeper."
Hart suggests planting more flowers, stop using pesticides on your lawn, and maybe attend the convention.
"Well without the bees we have no food pretty much because even food that comes or is made for agriculture purposes such as horses and cows. They need bees. Fruits need bees. Everything needs bees, and they’re in a great decline."
The Moses Quinby Bee Convention will be on the grounds of Fort Klock in St. Johnsville on Saturday July 23rd from 10 AM until 4 o’clock PM. General admission is free.

FRISCO, Texas — Across the country we’ve been hearing from employers saying, they’re trying to hire, but there aren’t enough candidates out there. The military is having the same problem.
Officials told WFAA they are trying to recruit, but they’re having a hard time.
“I appreciate each and every one of you for your recommitment,” said the commanding officers.
Outside of the Ford Center in Frisco Tuesday, 50 men and women from Fort Hood reenlisted in the Army.
“I do solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” said the officers.
“This is something I really want to do,” said Alexia Booker, with the 13th ESC at Fort Hood.
Booker is a mother of four, who is passionate about her service in the Army, despite an injury.
“It was due to ventilation with a partner, and I injured my spine,” said Booker.
She and all the other soldiers at the Ford Center are passionate about their service for the U.S.
“Until I feel like I’m fully fulfilled, I’m going to continue to re-enlist,” said Booker.
As those soldiers are reenlisting, part of the challenge for the Army is trying to get new soldiers to join. The problem -- all the competition out there.
“It’s a lot of competition as far as in the civilian sector, different jobs, opportunities and things like that,” said Staff Sgt. Travis Grant, with III Corps, at Fort Hood.
According to the Fort Hood command staff, for decades, Texas was number one in recruiting soldiers, now the state is falling behind.
“Recently, Texas was surpassed by Georgia and North Carolina, as the third most state to put people in uniform,” said Capt. Christian Gordon, with the Dallas recruiting company.
Companies in nearly every sector are working to revamp recruiting. They’re offering perks like more vacation time, better benefits, and even sign-on bonuses. The military is trying to compete.
“We’re offering $50,000 bonuses, and 50K in student loan debt repayment,” said Christian.
Recruiters are hitting high schools and even partnering with the Dallas Cowboys, trying to do whatever they can in a job market where workers have the advantage.
“We go everywhere. We look for career fairs, businesses to partner with,” said Christian.
Back on the field, it’s about keeping a positive mindset for the soldiers.
“I respect your duty, I respect your honor. I respect your courage,” said the commanding staff.

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — The family of Tony Timpa's civil suit case against the City of Dallas may go forward, as the Supreme Court denied review of the Fifth Circuit Court's decision regarding the case.
In December, the appeals court had ruled that DPD officers had violated Tony Timpa's Constitutional rights and may have used deadly force against him, meaning they can be sued for his death. The city then asked the Supreme Court to review the decision, arguing for qualified immunity protecting the officers.
Timpa died in August 2016 following a confrontation involving four Dallas police officers who held him face-down on the ground while he was handcuffed for 14 minutes before he fell unconscious and was later pronounced dead.
"At last!" Geoff Henley, the Timpa family's lawyer said. "The family has waited for years on this decision just to get their day in court."
The case has been pending in trial court, Henley said, but has not been given a court date yet. Timpa's family was hoping the case would be tried sometime this summer but a release from Henley stated the City Attorney's Office has been pushing to delay it by another year.
“There’s nowhere else for the City to go now—except to trial,” Henley said. “We still have a long way to go, but the road to the jury box is clear.”
According to court documents, Timpa, 32, called 911 for help in August 2016, saying he was a schizophrenic, was off his prescriptions and had taken cocaine.
The family claims that there was excessive force used, and bystander liability. The four officers at the scene were Dustin Dillard, Raymond Dominguez, Kevin Mansell and Danny Vasquez.
An autopsy report stated that Timpa died due to the toxic effects of cocaine and physiological stress associated with physical restraint. Timpa also had an enlarged heart, medical reports show.
In 2019, three officers were indicted on misdemeanor deadly conduct charges relating to Timpa's death, but those charges were dismissed by Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot.
The officer whose footage from the body camera showed Timpa on the ground, Dillard, was recently promoted to senior corporal.
Henley said Timpa's family is expected to speak this week.

(The Texas Tribune) The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked a Texas law that prohibits large social media companies, such as Facebook or Twitter, from banning or removing the posts of users because of the users' political viewpoints.
The justices, in a 5-4 vote, granted NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association’s request to reinstate a block imposed by a federal district judge the law as the lawsuit makes its way through the courts.
“No online platform, website, or newspaper should be directed by government officials to carry certain speech,” Matt Schruers, president of the association, said in a statement. “This has been a key tenet of our democracy for more than 200 years and the Supreme Court has upheld that.”
The two industry trade groups that represent companies such as Google and Twitter sued to block the law last fall. In December, a federal district court judge ruled in favor of the groups and prevented the law from going into effect, reasoning that the First Amendment protects a company’s right to moderate content and calling parts of the law “prohibitively vague.”
As a result, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed the district judge’s decision to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which reinstated the law.
Passed during a special session last year, House Bill 20 also requires social media platforms with more than 50 million monthly users to publicly disclose information about content removal and account suspensions.

After Northern Arizona's Anthony Sweeney was sidelined with an injury in the fall, both he and his teammates have been eager for his return.
The All-Big Sky Conference defensive back suffered a season-ending injury while lifting during fall camp last year and now couldn't be more ready to be back on the field for his fourth season with the Lumberjacks.
"Excited is an understatement," Sweeney said. "Being back out there with my team, wearing my helmet again, it's the little things."
Sweeney said he didn't dwell on his initial emotions when he suffered the injury ahead of the fall schedule last summer.
"I told myself that I had like two days to sulk and complain about it, and then after that it's back to work," Sweeney said. "It was tough, but I had to turn all of my focus on to what it takes to get back in the best shape possible."
Sweeney gave a testament to everybody who supported him throughout his journey back from injury and mentioned how incredibly grateful he is.
People are also reading…
"My family, teammates and coaches were constantly checking in." Sweeney said. "The positive thoughts and all of the great energy that was around me kind of forced me to keep my head up."
Sweeney is known throughout the program as a leader -- something he prides himself on. With the injury taking away his ability able to show that leadership on the field, Sweeney was forced to find new ways to lead.
"I had to understand that my role as a leader didn't go away, it just changed," Sweeney said. "I needed to learn how to constantly support my teammates and be there in different ways."
One of the best parts of returning to the field for Sweeney is getting to line up in the secondary again with his close friend and fellow All-Big Sky Conference defensive back Morgan Vest.
The duo are the team's two most recent tackles leaders, with Sweeney finishing the 2019 season at 83 tackles, while Vest led the way in the shortened spring season with 53 and this past fall with 106 tackles. During their time in Flagstaff, the duo has only played a total of five games together, with Vest missing all of 2019 when he first arrived at Northern Arizona University and Sweeney missing last fall. All five of the games came during the 2021 spring season, where over the five games they combined for 77 tackles.
"I don't have enough good things to say about Morgan; he's my brother." Sweeney said. "We always talk about how Morgan is the standard, and to be able to turn around on the field and see a guy like Morgan Vest holding it down is such a confidence booster."
The two have an inseparable bond, and with the upcoming season being Morgan's last, they are looking to make up for lost time.
"I wish that we would've had a few more games to play together," Sweeney said. "I'm just very excited to go out there and play ball with my brother again."
Sweeney was one of the first players Vest met when he arrived at Northern Arizona, with the senior praising his teammate as a brother to him.
Vest referred to Sweeney as "without a doubt" the best leader he's ever been around. He emphasized how important it was to have Anthony around last year, and how even from the sidelines his presence was certainly felt.
"Having him around not only makes me better, but he makes this team better. The guys just gravitate towards him, they trust him, they listen to him and they respect him," Vest said. "Having that type of leader back out on the field is going to pay dividends."
It didn't take long for Anthony's return to be felt by the rest of the program, and Vest spoke to it firsthand, as well as the sense of security that Anthony brings to the defense.
"From the first day he stepped back on to the field there has without a doubt been a noticeable different," Vest said. "He's the type of player that guys can count on day in and day out, and on every play for every single game."
For Sweeney, the team's secondary as a whole and the upcoming season are cause for plenty of excitement.
"We have a lot of talent back there, but we also have a lot of wisdom and maturity within the group," Sweeney said. "You can expect some big things from our secondary."
Track and field
LiNay Perry, Miracle Onyemaobi, Melanie Loff and Kyairra Reigh shattered the school and Big Sky Conference women's 4x400-meter record with a time of 3:34.97 to finish 16th in the NCAA West Regional Saturday after respectively splitting 53.7, 53.0, 53.8, and 53.9 seconds to close the evening at John McDonnell Field in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Earlier in the day, Nikita Moore (10:29.79) and Jenna McCaffrey (11:08.65) respectively finished 25th and 45th in the women's steeplechase. Maggi Congdon (2:05.38) placed 16th overall in the women's 800m, and Jesselyn Bries (16:22.13), Elise Stearns (16:31.90), Delaney Rasmussen (17:02.89), Meagan Van Pelt (17:09.06) and Annika Reiss (17:12.91) finished 14th, 20th, 38th, 40th and 42nd in the 5000m.

BOISE, Idaho —
Walleye fish have been located in Lake Lowell and Lake Cascade, according to Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG).
IDFG said the fish is nonnative, can be destructive to other fish species, and are only allowed in very limited locations across Idaho.
Last week, IDFG received a report of an angler who caught a walleye in Lake Lowell in mid-May. The angler was fishing for bass on the Caldwell Dam when he landed a 17” walleye, according to IDFG. It is the first-ever report of a walleye being located in Lake Lowell and comes after two other walleye were found in Southwest Idaho.
The angler threw the fish back, but took photos prior. After reading a recent press release about walleye being caught in Lake Cascade, the angler called and reported his recent catch, according to IDFG.
"We are definitely concerned with this report," said Art Butts, Regional Fisheries Manager. "Lake Lowell is one of the better largemouth bass fisheries in the state, and it produces some quality bluegill as well. Throughout the West, there are numerous examples of introduced walleye negatively impacting established panfish and largemouth bass fisheries, so this is something we will be monitoring closely."
IDFG asks that anglers report any unexpected walleye catches. Anglers who catch walleye in locations where they are not supposed to be are asked to kill, remove and report their catch to a regional office.
IDFG said anglers can keep the fillets, but are asked to save the carcasses and bring them to a regional office, or notify department staff and arrange for a pick up.
"We are particularly interested in those carcasses if anglers catch a walleye in Lake Cascade or Lake Lowell," Butts said. "But because we do not have any established walleye fisheries in the entire Southwest Region – and these fish shouldn't be present here – we would also like walleye carcasses if anglers happen to catch one in another waterbody."
Lake Lowell feeds into multiple canals, which could potentially provide walleyes passage to other fisheries, including the Snake River or Boise River, according to IDFG.
"While we did not see any walleye during our electrofishing surveys earlier in the spring, we will be doing some additional sampling in the next couple weeks to try and get a handle on the potential abundance of walleye in Lake Lowell," Butts said.
IDFG staff may also be able to determine from which body of water a walleye originated and determine whether the fish naturally migrated, or were illegally transported by an irresponsible angler.

YOLO COUNTY, Calif. — The Sacramento-Yolo County Vector control confirmed Tuesday morning that a dead bird found in Yolo County has tested positive for the first case of the West Nile Virus (WNV) in the area of 2022.
An American Crow, one of few species of birds in the region susceptible to WNV, was found in Davis and confirmed to have been carrying the first sign of the virus officials have seen this year.
“Finding the first positive bird is always significant because it provides an early warning sign for the disease,” said Gary Goodman, district manager. “It confirms that the virus is present, provides a good indication of where we may find positive mosquito samples and where human cases may develop later in the season.”
While WNV is most commonly spread through mosquitoes, some species of birds including crows, jays and magpies can carry and spread the virus as well.
Although most people do not develop symptoms, one in five people infected with WNV can experience symptomatic fever while one in 150 people can develop a severe illness that can become fatal, according to the CDC.
According to Sacramento-Yolo County Vector Control, other areas across the country have begun reporting cases of WNV in birds and insects as well.
Officials are now making an effort to increase mosquito trapping and surveillance as well as encouraging the public to report dead birds in the area to better inspect the transmission rates now that its first case in the district has been confirmed.
In response to the now present virus, Sacramento-Yolo County Vector Control recommends practicing its “District D’s of Mosquito Prevention” including
- DRAIN standing water that may produce mosquitoes.
- DAWN and DUSK are times to avoid being outdoors.
- DRESS appropriately by wearing long sleeves and pants when outside.
- DEFEND yourself by using an effective insect repellent. Make sure to follow label directions!
- DOOR and window screens should be in good working condition.
- DISTRICT personnel are also available to address any mosquito problems
More information on WNV can be found on the district’s website and dead bird findings can be reported through California Department of Public Health hotline.

NAPA COUNTY, Calif. — A wildfire in Napa County has triggered evacuations in a part of the county.
The so-called Old Fire in Napa County has reached 100 acres. Cal Fire's Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit said structures are threatened, but it's not clear how many.
The fire is near Old Soda Springs Road, northeast of Napa in Napa County. However, the Napa Fire Department said there is currently no threat to the City of Napa this time.
Officials with the Solano County Office of Emergency Services said the Old Fire is not threatening Solano County at this time, but smoke from the fire is visible.
The fire is currently 5% contained.
Evacuations
The Old Fire in Napa County has currently caused evacuations from 1300 Old Soda Springs Road to the top/end of the road. There is also a road closure at Silverado Trail.
Evacuation Map
An evacuation map for Napa County is available below.
STAY INFORMED:
FIRE MAP
This map from the National Interagency Fire Center shows fire activity.
WILDFIRE PREPS
According to Cal Fire, the 2021 fire season started earlier than previous years, but also ended earlier, as well. January 2021 saw just under 1,200 acres burned from nearly 300 wildfires. Fires picked up in the summer when the Dixie Fire burned in five Northern California counties — Butte, Plumas, Shasta, Lassen and Tehama. The Dixie Fire started on July 13 and wasn't contained until Oct. 25, burning nearly 1 million acres. It has since become the second-largest wildfire in state history and the largest non-complex fire.
Overall, 2.5 million acres were burned in 2021 from 8,835 wildfires. Over 3,600 structures were destroyed and 3 people killed.
If you live in a wildfire-prone zone, Cal Fire suggests creating a defensible space around your home. Defensible space is an area around a building in which vegetation and other debris are completely cleared. At least 100 feet is recommended.
The Department of Homeland Security suggests assembling an emergency kit that has important documents, N95 respirator masks, supplies to grab with you if you’re forced to leave at a moment’s notice. The agency also suggests signing up for local warning system notifications and know your community’s evacuation plans best to prepare yourself and your family in cases of wildfires.
Some counties use Nixle alerts to update residents on severe weather, wildfires, and other news. To sign up, visit www.nixle.com or text your zip code to 888777 to start receiving alerts.
PG&E customers can also subscribe to alerts via text, email, or phone call. If you're a PG&E customer, visit the Profile & Alerts section of your account to register.

For veterans: Don't lose this important VA document, or know how to replace it
One of the most frequent services that I provide is to help veterans or their next of kin find their DD-214 Discharge documents. When I was serving, I remember being told the DD-214 is the most important document I would receive from my military service. It turns out that the DD-214 is genuinely an essential document.
The DD-214 is a summation of a veteran's time served in the military. It records such important information as awards, promotions, combat and overseas service, military occupational specialty, and training and schools completed. This document also contains codes used by the Armed Forces to describe a former service member's reason for discharge and their re-enlistment eligibility.
The DD-214 is also used when applying for all sorts of veterans benefits, everything from property tax deductions to VA disability compensation — you simply must have a DD-214 to apply for benefits.

Often, veterans lose track of their DD-214; the good news is that in the vast majority of cases, a replacement DD-214 can have by the veteran. There are four main places for Hoosier veterans where a replacement DD-214 may be found: the county recorders office, the Indiana State Archives, the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Archives. The process to retrieve a DD-214 from each of these entities varies, but my office is knowledgeable of the various processes and we are happy to help you get a copy of the DD-214.
If you are a Monroe County, Indiana, resident and need assistance filing a VA disability claim or if you have questions about federal, state or local veterans benefits, please reach out to my office. Steven Miller, Monroe County Veteran Service Officer, 812-349-2537, smiller@co.monroe.in.us.

RANDOLPH TOWNSHIP — A 44-year-old man died Tuesday morning in a two-vehicle collision near Heyworth, Illinois State Police said .
The McLean County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Jay C. Fitzgerald of Heyworth.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A class-action lawsuit was filed against YouTube and Google on behalf of two Oregon men, claiming the defendants were engaging in an “illegal automatic renewal scheme” with respect to their subscription plans.
The lawsuit, filed last week in the U.S. District Court in Portland, seeks at least $5 million or “punitive damages to be determined by the court and/or jury.” The plaintiffs also requested an order declaring the defendants’ conduct violated specific statutes and common laws, along with reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses with the cost of the suit.
According to the complaint, when consumers sign up for the auto-renewal membership programs, YouTube and Google enroll consumers in a program that automatically renews the subscriptions from month-to-month or year-to-year and results in monthly or annual chargers to the person’s credit card, debit card or third-party payment account.
In doing so, added the document, the defendants fail to provide the requisite disclosures and authorizations required to be made to Oregon consumers under Oregon’s Automatic Renewal Law, which is in direct violation of Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act.
The lawsuit says Oregon law requires online retailers — who offer automatically renewing subscriptions to Oregon consumers — must provide the complete automatic renewal offer terms in a clear and conspicuous manner and in visual proximity to the request for consent prior to the purchase.
The suit says they must also obtain consumers’ affirmative consent to the purchase prior to charging their payment methods in connection with the subscriptions and provide an acknowledgement that includes the automatic renewal offer terms and identifies a cost-effective, timely and easy-to-use mechanism for consumers to cancel their subscriptions.
“Defendants also make it exceedingly difficult and unnecessarily confusing for consumers to cancel their (auto-renewal membership programs),” the document stated.
The complain lists Victor Walkingeagle from Portland as one plaintiff in the class-action lawsuit.
Walkingeagle said he signed up for a free trial of the defendants’ monthly YouTube Music subscription from the defendants’ website while in Oregon.
After providing his debit card information, Walkingeagle said the defendants did not disclose to him all the “required” automatic renewal offer terms associated with the subscription program or obtain his affirmative consent to those terms. Walkingeagle has not been able to cancel his subscription “due to the defendants’ confusing cancellation policy.”
The complaint says he’s still enrolled in and continues to receive monthly renewal charges for his subscription to this day, “despite the fact that he does not want to remain subscribed or pay any further renewal fees.”
Nathan Briggs of Klamath Falls is also listed as a plaintiff in the case, which was a similar case as Walkingeagle.
However, the class-action lawsuit said Briggs was only able to stop the automatic payment by cancelling his debit card through his bank.
KOIN 6 News reached out to Google and YouTube for comment but did not hear back as of this writing.

Great Lakes steel production rose by 20,000 tons last week, while steel capacity utilization improved, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Steel mills remained at over 80% capacity, a key threshold they operated at for most of last year, following the latest wave of industry consolidation, imposition of blanket tariffs of 25%, strong demand and generally favorable market conditions. Imports have been rising again after steel prices soared to record highs, contributing to inflation and leading the U.S. to switch to a quota system with some trading partners.
Locally, steel mills in the Great Lakes region, clustered mainly along the south shore of Lake Michigan in Northwest Indiana, made 587,000 tons of metal in the week that ended May 28, up from 567,000 tons the previous week.
Overall, domestic steel mills in the United States made 1.798 million tons of steel last week, up 0.5% from 1.789 million tons the previous week and down 2% compared to 1.834 million tons the same time a year prior.
People are also reading…
Nationally, steel production so far in 2022 totals 37.093 million tons, a 1.5% decrease over 37.677 million tons through the same period last year.
U.S. steel mills have run at a capacity utilization rate of 80.6% through May 28, up from 78.7% at the same point in 2021, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Steel capacity utilization, a key metric of the industry's profitability, was 82.4% last week, up from 81% a year earlier and up from 82.1% a week prior.
Steel production in the southern region, a wide geographic swath that encompasses many mini-mills and rivals the Great Lakes region in output, totaled 767,000 tons last week, down from 772,000 tons the week before, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute. Volume in the rest of the Midwest fell to 205,000 tons, down from 208,000 tons the week prior.

CROWN POINT — Authorities have identified a man who died in a fatal crash at U.S. 231 and Interstate 65 in Crown Point on Thursday night.
John Petro III, a 29-year-old Crown Point resident, died in the wreck, according to the Lake County coroner's office.
A Medicolegal Death Investigation Team from the Lake County coroner's office was dispatched to the busy intersection where a silver 2003 Mitsubishi and a red 2018 Ford vehicle got into a crash on the evening of May 26.
Two others were injured in the crash, including a 42-year-old Kouts man and a 22-year-old Gary woman who suffered "multiple serious injuries."
The two vehicles collided when the Mitsubishi drove east on U.S. 231 and the Ford turned left at the traffic light to enter the northbound I-65 ramp, according to Crown Point police.
Petro III was pronounced dead at 10:10 p.m. Thursday, according to the Lake County coroner's office.

CHESTERTON — One person is in custody after SWAT team members and officers converged in a Chesterton neighborhood for report of an armed individual at an apartment complex Tuesday.
As of 6:05 p.m. one person was taken into custody and the scene was secured by authorities, police said. There were no injuries in the incident, Chesterton Spokesman Kevin Nevers said.
The person's name has not yet been released and it was unclear what charges might result from the incident.
Chesterton officers and the Porter County SWAT Team responded around 5 p.m. to a report that an armed individual was at the Eagle Crossing apartment complex.
Chesterton Chief of Police Tim Richardson instructed people to avoid the area while the incident was ongoing Tuesday afternoon.
Richardson said Kelle Drive between Sidewalk Road, also known as County Road 1050 North, and Rail Road was temporarily closed to traffic, as was Rail Road itself.

"David (Dalton) stated multiple times that he was going to do whatever to help his son, who just got jumped by the large group of juveniles," according to Chesterton police.
A person was shot at one of Northwest Indiana's most popular beaches as people started to flock back to the Lake Michigan lakefront on Memorial Day weekend.
The judge said he watched a video of the 36-minute beating April 27, 2021, at the couple's apartment in Gary and was stunned by how casual and cool defendant Sylvester Okafor appeared to be.
A custodial worker told police he only knew the defendant from passing at work and wasn't sure why the defendant stabbed him multiple times in a locker room.
Pastor John Lowe II got a standing ovation initially after saying he had sinned and committed “adultery.” Then a woman walked up to the microphone and said she was 16 at the time. A prosecutor is investigating.
A federal appeals court has declined to disturb an Indiana Supreme Court ruling declaring the shoreline of Lake Michigan is, and always has been, owned by the state for the enjoyment of all Hoosiers.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – During a Seminole County school board meeting Tuesday evening, updates were given on security guidelines for local schools.
Capt. Tracey Fortenberry, a deputy with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, announced these updates in response to last week’s elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
[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!)]
Fortenberry said the security procedures will not be like those in Uvalde, where officers waited more than an hour to breach the classroom the gunman barricaded himself in.
“We will go toward the threat,” he said. “We will eliminate the threat. That’s what we are trained to do.”
Two school resource officers or deputies will be posted at each high school in the county, with one in each elementary school and one in each middle school, according to Fortenberry.
He added that “floaters” will go back and forth between middle and high schools, so there might be three officers or deputies at a given time in some schools.
“We train totally different from some of these other agencies. We have professionals,” he said. “We have people that know what to do when an incident occurs. We continue to upgrade our training. We continue to provide training to the teachers and to the administrators at these schools, so everyone knows how to respond, what to do — not just on an active assailant but anything that occurs at these schools.

Federal appeals court overturns RI man's conviction for murdering teenager in 2011
A federal appeals court on Tuesday vacated the 2013 murder conviction of a Rhode Island man, finding that a prosecutor used race as a factor for excluding the only Black potential juror in the case.
In its decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals gave state prosecutors 90 days to retry Leron Porter or set him free.
During a jury selection process, lawyers for both the prosecution and the defense are allowed to strike a certain number of potential jurors from consideration – but their reasoning cannot be based on race.
“This is the rare case in which the prosecutor's explanation for his peremptory strike was not race-neutral on its face and, thus, violated” Porter’s rights, the court wrote in its decision.
“An explanation for a strike that assumes a prospective juror's bias in favor of a defendant because both are members of the same race is not race-neutral under clearly established Supreme Court precedent.” said the court.
Shooting death of Tiphany Tallo
In 2013 a jury convicted Porter, then 33, of the shooting death of 17-year-old Tiphany Tallo during a violent brawl two years earlier in a Providence churchyard.
Prosecutors said Porter and several relatives confronted Tallo’s sister after she had an argument with Porter’s sister over a man. Authorities said Porter, who had recently been released from federal prison on weapons charges, shot and killed Tallo when she tried to help her sister.
He was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences plus 25 years.
Black potential juror excluded
On appeal Porter argued that the prosecutor had violated his rights when he referred to race in his explanation for excluding the only Black potential juror, identified as Juror 103, from sitting on his case.
During the jury selection process Juror 103 had expressed reservations about serving on the jury, telling the judge and the lawyers that he worried about possible retaliation.
He explained he worked as an attendant at Eleanor Slater Hospital, where some patients were from the state prison, following the high-profile case, and were likely to discover his service on the jury.
Juror 103 never referred to his race as a reason why he didn’t want to sit.
But the prosecutor did, when recalling his reasons for omitting him.
The prosecutor said in an oral explanation: “Essentially, what he was saying is that — and, again, this is the State's take — he's a member of the African-American community, the defendant ... is a member of the African-American community, he's the only one on the panel who is, and if he were to vote guilty there could be consequences to it.”
The state Supreme Court denied Porter’s appeal and the U.S. District Court let that decision stand, while noting the problem with the prosecutor’s explanation.
“To the extent the state court interpreted the record differently, we consider that interpretation an "unreasonable ... determination of the facts," wrote Judge Bruce Selya for the appeals court.
“The prosecutor's reason for the strike did not mirror Juror 103's stated concerns. It purported to dig below the surface of what Juror 103 had articulated, supposedly unearthing a hidden layer of bias against finding the defendant guilty — notwithstanding Juror 103's explicit disclaimer of any such bias. And the prosecutor used race as his shovel to dig there.”

PHOENIX — Senate Republicans quashed a bid Tuesday to force a vote on legislation to forbid people from buying firearms unless they first have a background check.
The party-line vote came on a bid by Sen. Martin Quezada, D-Glendale, to get a roll-call vote on his SB 1546. It was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee but Sen. Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert, who chairs that panel, never agreed to even give it a hearing.
So Quezada used a procedural motion to waive the requirement for a committee hearing and demand the measure be brought immediately to the full Senate for a vote.
Only thing is, first it had to survive a vote to waive the rules. And none of the Republicans who control the Senate agreed to support that move, shutting down any chance of debate.
Federal law requires licensed firearms dealers to run a background check on would-be buyers before completing a purchase. But none of that covers person-to-person sales.
More to the point, that exception applies to sales made at gun shows, where individuals can bring their collection of guns to sell to those in attendance. Quezada called that an unacceptable “loophole’’ given the number of mass shootings.
People are also reading…
A series of surveys have shown strong support for universal background checks. Most recently that included a poll from Morning Consult and Politico, conducted one day after the killing of 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, which found 81% said they want to make private gun sales and sales at gun shows subject to background checks.
Petersen, in explaining his opposition to bringing the bill to the floor, said the restriction would stop law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves.
“Criminals do not follow laws,’’ he said. “It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun.’’
Sen. Rebecca Rios, D-Phoenix, called that “utter nonsense.’’
“There was an entire parking lot of police officers that didn’t even approach the building because of the type of firearm this guy had,’’ Rios said. She said there were dozens of “good guys’’ with guns standing outside the Texas school and that didn’t stop the killing.
“Bring something that will work,’’ said Sen. Vince Leach, R-Tucson, in opposition to what Quezada wanted. He cited the number of shootings in Chicago which have some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
But Quezada said Republicans appear ready to blame anything — and everything — other than access to guns, calling them “regurgitated gun lobby talking points.’’
“I was especially troubled by one specific diversion tactic that we saw members cling to for dear life last week,’’ he said. “That was this latest mass shooting, and mass shootings in general, are happening because God has been taken out of our schools or because we don’t pray enough in schools, and because our nation has drifted too far from its Christian founding.’’
That refers to comments by Senate Majority Leader Rick Gray, R-Sun City, who said mass shootings occur because children can’t pray in school.
Rios said foes of additional gun regulations always seem to have a litany of reasons why there are mass shootings, like video games and mental illness.
“Fact of the matter is, every other country in the world suffers with people that have mental illness,’’ Rios said.
“Every other country in the world has video games. Every other country in the world has religion or lack thereof,’’ she continued. “Those are all red herrings.’’
But Sen. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, said what is lost in all this is that the Texas shooter purchased his firearms from licensed gun dealers. He called the argument that requiring universal background checks “a myth and a smokescreen.’’
While GOP lawmakers have refused to consider new gun restrictions, they have voted for measures to protect gun rights, like allowing people to drive onto school campuses without having to first unload a firearm.

GPS helps police track down armed robbery suspect
Wichita Falls Police tracked down a stolen car and a robbery suspect with GPS.
According to allegations made in the arrest affidavit:
Just before 11 p.m. Saturday, police were sent to an aggravated robbery in the 1100 block of Central Freeway. The victim told officers she was sitting in her vehicle in her driveway when a man wearing a bandana to cover his face pointed a gun at her. She said he told her, “get the [expletive] out of the vehicle.”
The victim said she could not remember her license plate number, but said she could track the vehicle using her laptop and the GPS tracker in the stolen car. The tracking device showed the vehicle had stopped at several locations around town before tracking it down to an apartment complex on East Central Freeway. When the officers approached, the suspect tried to flee but he was stopped and removed from the vehicle.
While searching the vehicle, officers found a .9-millimeter handgun between the driver’s seat and center console. The serial number listed the firearm as stolen. Police arrested Nicholas Torres and charged him with Theft of a Firearm, Aggravated Robbery, and Evading Arrest. His bond was set at $115,000 by a judge.

Pursuit ends in arrest
An early morning pursuit Saturday lands a driver in jail on evading and marijuana charges.
According to allegations made in the police report::
Around 1:30 a.m., Saturday, Wichita Falls police attempted to stop a vehicle for driving on the wrong side of the road on Iowa Park Road. The vehicle fled leading them on a pursuit through the north side of town. The chase reached speeds around 50 m.p.h. and ended when the suspect crashed into a telephone pole on East Scott Avenue.
The driver was taken into custody. She said she fled because she had marijuana in her car. It was found in the glove compartment. She was taken to the hospital where she was medically cleared before going to jail.
She is charged with Evading Arrest in a Vehicle and Possession of Marijuana. Her bond was set at $10,750 by a judge.

SEASIDE, Ore. — The reader board outside Seaside High School flashed a farewell to beloved teacher Kyle Rieger this week. The 26-year-old band teacher died over the weekend from injuries he sustained in a car crash on Saturday.
Investigators said Rieger was driving eastbound on Highway 26 near milepost 10 when he was hit by a vehicle that had crossed the center line after losing control in the westbound lanes.
School officials said Rieger was rushed to Seaside Providence Hospital and subsequently airlifted to Oregon Health and Science University, where he later died after his injuries proved to be too severe to overcome.
"I understand completely what these poor students are going through," parent Jennifer Paluch said.
Paluch, who has two kids in the district, lost a teacher when she was in high school. She said her heart aches for Rieger's students and family.
"I feel for the family and I'm sorry for their loss," Paluch said. "It's definitely heartbreaking."
Seaside H.S. principal Jeff Roberts echoed that sentiment.
"Although Kyle was here for a short time he had already had a great impact on students and colleagues alike and he had a bright future ahead of him," Roberts wrote in a letter to families.
"He was a gifted composer and wonderful teacher," read a statement posted on the Seaside High School Choir's Facebook page. "He'll be greatly missed by staff, students, and community."
The driver of the car that hit Rieger died at the scene. Oregon State Police identified him as Frederick Scheffler II, 49, of Portland.

PORTLAND, Ore — A Portland-area Boy Scouts executive is making national history.
Gary Carroll is the newly selected scout executive and CEO of the Cascade Pacific Council, connected with Boy Scouts of America (BSA).
He is not only the first Black CEO of the Portland-area chapter, but is also the first openly gay man selected for a scout executive role in the country.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be a first of anything," Carroll said.
For him, serving the Boy Scouts organization has been a calling of both duty and adventure.
"You're going to see things that you've never seen before," he described. "People from all walks of life."
Carroll became a Boy Scout at age 7, then returned to work for the Boy Scouts organization as an adult in 2006.
"I knew that I loved this community and wanted to be part of it again," Carroll explained.
He worked his way up, eventually becoming field director in the Portland area, and most recently serving as chief operating officer of the Greater Los Angeles Area Council.
His historic appointment marks change at BSA. The national organization did not formally allow scout youth to be openly gay until 2014, nor adults until 2015.
"Scary back then," Carroll said.
BSA later also allowed transgender youth in 2017 and all genders, including girls, in 2019.
"To see how we've evolved and how really embraced I've been since I was announced is really heartening and I have a lot of high hopes," Carroll said.
Those hopes include inspiring and including youth who have not always felt included, of all colors and identities.
"I'm a first, not a last, but I also know there's work to be done between now and when they become leaders," Carroll said. "I want to do a good job, not because I'm gay, not because I'm Black, but because I care about the Scouts."
It's a sense of duty with the promise of adventure.
"Now is the time," Carrol said. "This is just the beginning."

PORTLAND, Ore. — A new program on Portland’s streetcars works to prioritize safety while increasing ridership. It’s called the Streetcar Ridership Ambassador Program and it provides support for vulnerable riders.
The program is also meant to make riding the streetcar more appealing for people, since ridership has dropped over the past two years.
The ambassadors work in teams of two, wearing purple vests and backpacks filled with supplies such as granola bars, socks and water bottles.
“I just kind of serve as a presence on the streetcar, kind of balancing the needs of all the riders,” said Zeyaad Moussa, one of the rider ambassadors.
Each day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Moussa rides the streetcar and helps those experiencing homelessness, struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues.
“We look for people who might be sleeping or have a lot of possessions scattered around, people who look like they may be in pain or struggling somehow," said Jack Blashchishen, another rider ambassador. “We are not acting towards people in a discriminatory way, we’re not kicking people out.”
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, about 14,000 people rode the Portland streetcar daily. During the peak of the pandemic, that number dropped to 3,000. Now, the numbers have stabilized somewhat. The Portland streetcar sees about 8,000 riders on an average weekday.
“It’s ticking back up quite a bit, so that’s been encouraging for us,” said Andrew Plambeck, the streetcar public affairs manager.
Portland's streetcar system received $440,000 dollars from a federal COVID grant, and about $175,000 went toward starting this rider ambassador program.
“We’ve heard from a lot of regular riders that they’ve seen these new people in purple vests on board and it’s made them feel safe,” said Plambeck.
Portland Streetcar only has enough funding to keep the program going until the end of the year. They’re working to secure enough money to make it permanent.

SAN ANTONIO — South Texas blood banks are grateful after receiving hundreds of donations after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas one week ago.
Since the shooting at Robb Elementary School, more than 2,500 donors visited all of South Texas Blood and Tissue centers. Minutes after the shooting was first reported, 15 units of blood were sent to the scene and to Uvalde Memorial Hospital. An additional 10 units were sent hours later.
“We saw an influx of people coming in to donate, and since then it’s been overwhelming,” Roger Ruiz, senior communications specialist with South Texas Blood and Tissue said.
At a time where blood supplies are already low, the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center says it is improving slowly.
Last week the center expanded its capacity here at the donor pavilion on the northwest side and appointments for blood donations were full through the weekend.
Donations not only supported the victims of the shooting but hospitals across 48 counties served by the Blood Center.
Staff have been working around the clock accepting donations.
“I think a lot of us are running on adrenaline right now and trying to get the blood collected and out to the hospitals that need it. Staff have been great, they’ve been working long hours to make sure we have an adequate blood supply, we’re giving back, this is their way of giving back and helping our community,” Ruiz said.
Currently, Ruiz says they have a five-day supply of blood but want to encourage donations so they can reach a 7-day supply.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. – A Cape Coral neighborhood is on the lookout for trespassers after people were caught on camera stealing mangoes.
The incident happened Monday night around 6:30 p.m. on SE 13th Street.
Ken Coles caught a man and child on video sneaking to the side of his home where several fruit trees grow. They took off with handfuls of limes and mangoes.
“God forbid if I should ever find the guy in the middle of what he was doing it wouldn’t have been a pretty situation,” said Coles.
Coles said fruit isn’t the issue.
“Had he knocked on the door, I would’ve gladly given him anything he wanted, but to steal it from me that’s a different story,” said Coles.
Several reports of mango thieves have been made in the city over the last few weeks.
Coles says theft needs to stop before someone gets hurt.
“That’s how people get shot – when you walk around somebody’s property. I don’t know if you’re there for mangoes or if you’re there for stealing something else,” said Coles.
Cape Coral police said thieves can face trespassing and petty theft charges if caught.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. – Preventing a mass shooting could be in the hands of a single school resource officer. That’s why deputies and police in Charlotte County are coming together to train Tuesday like it’s really happening.
The front entrance to Punta Gorda Middle School was blocked off with crime scene tape and a sign that read ‘danger, live ammo hazard.’ It’s a warning to anyone walking up to the doors that law enforcement is in training mode.
“Obviously the main goal is to neutralize any further violence or any further acts of shooting,” Lt. Jason Zakowich said, from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office training division.
“God forbid it ever happens, I pray it never does but obviously we want to train so we are on top of our game,” Deputy First Class Justin Morse added, a school resource officer at Murdock Middle School.
Lt. Zakowich said the goal is to make the training as realistic as possible. They bring the SROs in for a safety briefing, then one by one they go into the simulation.
“Hey you’re going to be responding to this area, there may or may not be an active assailant, and we make them run down the hallway, get their heart rate going, run back and they’re getting ready, they’re going,” Zakowich said. “So the idea is to provide the fastest response that we can, they’re the first ones that would be responding to that situation.”
“We utilize the weapons we actually carry each and every day,” Morse added. “We carry a backpack with a rifle in it, we also carry our sidearm. So we use both of those same weapons in our training so it’s as lifelike as possible.”
While they have their weapons on hand, SROs have to be looking for the gunman while assessing what’s next and then rendering aid to the injured.
“They need to continue to maintain proficiency with that, the only way to do that is through training. If you ride a bike one time, and then haven’t ridden in 10 years, it’s not going to be as easy to remember,” Zakowich said.
Morse said one key takeaway for him is continuing to learn how to overcome hurdles.
“We train frequently so it helps us also to get over that fight or flight situation so we don’t just freeze up when something happens, we know what we have to do and respond accordingly,” Morse said. “Ultimately we’re the front line, were the ones who know who our teachers are, who our students are, and we know when someone doesn’t belong, make sure to address them and make sure kids are safe.”
This training was on the books before the mass tragedy in Uvalde last week. CCSO said they do this every year after school gets out for summer.

LEHIGH ACRES, Florida – During Memorial Day it’s common to see tons of flags and flowers placed at the graves of veterans.
“We always make sure that my daddy’s grave has a flag on it,” said Jan Eash.
However when the Eash family got to Hodges Funeral Home at Lee Memorial Park on Monday to place a flag on their father’s headstone, they noticed something else had happened.
“The vase that is on the headstone was missing and there weren’t any flowers anywhere. So I guess someone just took the vase I don’t understand that at all,” said Eash.
Eash’s father Earl Horner was a United States Army and Air force veteran that served during World War II.
“He was a bomber pilot and has a Purple Heart that he was awarded too,” said Eash.
After our visit to Lee Memorial Park and explaining to staff what happened, they replaced Eash’s father’s vase and put new flowers in it. The staff also placed a flag next to the headstone.
“That was very kind of them even though it probably isn’t even their fault it was missing,” said Eash.
NBC2 spoke to the cemetery staff who would not go on camera, but sent us this statement for the story:
“Our associates care very much for the families we are privileged to serve. Replacing missing flowers with an American Flag on a veteran’s grave may seem like a small gesture but clearly it meant a great deal to our client family. This is the kind of compassionate care we strive for everyday at Hodges Funeral Home at Lee Memorial Park.”

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Residents in Downtown Fort Myers are upset after receiving a notice from their apartment complex that the fountain in First Street is being removed. City of Fort Myers officials say the fountain and lot are private owned and the property owner has plans on building a hotel in the spot.
Michael Doria, who lives in Downtown Fort Myers says he was caught off guard when he received a notice of removal from his apartments property management.
“So when I heard that it was being removed, I kind of panicked. You remove crime. You remove litter. You remove blight. You don’t remove fountains.”
Doria says he’s upset because the fountain draws in so many people downtown but it also serves as a place of peace and serenity.
“You come outside at any given time day or night, there’s people sitting around it. People take pictures by it, graduation photos used for a backdrop, weddings all the time. It’s just a cool thing to look at.”
City officials say they are working with other entities to found a storage for the fountain until it has a new home. The removal of the fountain is set for June 3rd.
