Henrico police have released the name of the victim in Saturday's shooting in the 300 block of Buffalo Road.
Officers responded to the call at about 8 p.m. and were flagged down by the victim's friend, who led them to the person, said Lt. Matt Pecka. A man who had been struck by gunfire was found with wounds determined to be life-threatening.
Ja’Shaun Jermaine O’Neil, 29, of Henrico County, later died at a local hospital, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 804-501-5581. Community members also can call Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000 or submit tips online at p3Tips.com. Both methods are anonymous.
In October 1951, workers constructed a section of Forest Hill Avenue in South Richmond. The segment sits between Westover Hills Boulevard and Prince Arthur Road.
In February 1953, Richmond Department of Utilities workers used a 65-foot hook-and-ladder firetruck to install new lights on Broad Street after attempts to secure other ladder equipment from private companies had failed.
In May 1954, Scoop sniffed around the pet food aisle at a grocery store in Richmond’s West End. The store offered a large selection of pet foods, a relatively new concept for the era. The accompanying article said: “Gone, apparently, are the days that Fido took the scraps from the table and liked them.”
In September 1942, members of Richmond Hotels Inc. donated typewriters to the War Production Board and the Office of War Information in response to an appeal for businesses to let the government have any machines they could spare.
In August 1981, children enjoyed outdoor recreation at Camp Happyland in the Richardsville area of Culpeper County, not far from Fredericksburg. The Salvation Army started the camp in the late 1950s to improve children’s health through exercise and proper nutrition.
In March 1971, a crowd estimated at several hundred waited outside City Council chambers at City Hall in downtown Richmond. Residents of the recently annexed Broad Rock area were protesting the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s proposal for low-rent public housing in the area.
In March 1969, a sign went up to mark the site of Henrico County’s first permanent designated library, on Laburnum Avenue near New Market Road. On hand were (from left) Varina District Supervisor Edwin Ragsdale, library board trustee Mrs. F.M. Vaughan, library assistant Virginia Liles and county libraries director David Rowland. The library opened in December 1970.
In June 1969, a Trappist monk at the Holy Cross Abbey near Berryville in Clarke County began his daily meditation. The monks spent their days balancing quiet prayer, spiritual reading and manual labor.
In June 1956, the Rev. Lawrence V. Bradley Jr. of Grove Avenue Baptist Church in Richmond and his secretary, Jean Bolton, got out the summertime heat beater: a simple cardboard fan. The pews were liberally stocked during the warm months because the church had no air conditioning.
In July 1959, the normally bustling downtown Richmond business district, including this stretch along Eighth and Main streets, was much quieter as motorists stayed home because of triple-digit heat.
In April 1966, Union Bag-Camp Paper Corp. officials oversaw manufacturing at a new plant in Chesterfield County. The facility produced millions of bags for supermarket chains and other clients on the East Coast. At the time, about 265 employees worked in two local company plants; the old factory at 13th and Canal streets in Richmond was open for limited operation until it was sold.

In 1960, the Town School and the Country Day School merged, operating on the campus off River and Mooreland roads in Henrico County. It remains the location today.
In November 1970, a Richmond officer rode his horse by the police bureau’s new stables, which were under construction. The facility near Brook Road and Chamberlayne Avenue included eight stalls, a scrub area, a horseshoeing area and a tack room. The bureau had been looking for an established home for its horses since the mid-1960s, when the Virginia National Guard moved from the Richmond Howitzers downtown armory, where the horses had been stabled for two decades.
In March 1971, a crowd estimated at several hundred waited outside City Council chambers at City Hall in downtown Richmond. Residents of the recently annexed Broad Rock area were protesting the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s proposal for low-rent public housing in the area.
In November 1948, Army Lt. Charles D. Smith Jr. administered the oath to the first set of postwar draftees processed at the Richmond induction station at First and Broad streets. Several of the men were immediately sent to Camp Pickett in Blackstone.
In December 1938, Richmond Glass Shop had a new home at 814 W. Broad St., site of the old Ashland Railway Station. The shop, run by brothers Frank R. and A.G. Bialkowski, had glass of many types, and offered bath and kitchen installation, storefront construction and paint products.
In March 1979, corrections officer Howard Alexander held the homemade rope used by convicted murderer Michael Irwin Cross to escape from the State Penitentiary, then located along Spring Street in downtown Richmond. Cross was captured two months later after attempting to free a fellow convict who was being treated at Medical College of Virginia Hospital.
In June 1986, “Mr. Newspaper” greeted a young girl and her mother at a Richmond-area mall. The RTD mascot often traveled around town promoting the newspaper.
In July 1951, Alonzo Moore, 74, walked down a street in Cape Charles on Virginia’s Eastern Shore and blew his horn, alerting locals to his sale of the fresh catch of the day.
In July 1960, the Schellenberg family of Highland Springs prepared to have a bomb shelter installed in their yard, one of Virginia’s first privately owned radiation fallout shelters. The enclosure was designed to accommodate up to six people during a nuclear attack. The horizontal steel tank (rear) was 7 feet in diameter and 16 feet long. Once installed, the only elements aboveground would be a domed entrance and air filter and exhaust pipes.
In June 1979, Terry Woo set bricks for a walkway as construction of Kanawha Plaza in downtown Richmond continued. The $4 million dollar city-financed plaza linked the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond building and the Virginia Electric and Power Co. building.
In June 1968, workers welded boilers at Old Dominion Iron and Steel Corp., located on Belle Isle under the Lee Bridge in Richmond. At the time, Old Dominion’s owner was interested in expanding operations, and the city was interested in using the island as part of a James River park. The company’s history on Belle Isle spanned from before the Civil War to the 1970s.
In November 1972, after the remnants of Hurricane Agnes had washed out a bridge, a barge carried vehicles and workers across the James River from Tredegar Street toward Belle Isle in Richmond. A day earlier, a welder for Old Dominion Iron and Steel Corp. drowned after a boat carrying him and others capsized on the same route.
This December 1973 photo shows the front counter in Roaring Twenties, a new restaurant and nightclub on state Route 10 in the Hopewell area. It was designed to resemble a 1920s speakeasy, with features including an antique cash register, a diving girl and even a dining table from Al Capone’s Florida home.
In October 1969, cadets at John Marshall High School in Richmond posed with their ribbon-bedecked sponsors after an awards ceremony. The school’s Corps of Cadets was established in 1915 — it was the first military training program in a public school in Virginia — and disbanded in 1971.
In May 1989, a transformer exploded under the sidewalk on the Fourth Street side of the Richmond Newspapers Inc. building downtown. The ensuing fireball charred two cars parked on the street and sent flames up the side of the building. No one was hurt in the nighttime explosion, and delivery of the next morning’s Richmond Times-Dispatch (which was printed in the building) was only slightly delayed.
In August 1972, motorists approaching construction on Interstate 64 south of Bryan Park in Richmond were greeted by a robot signalman waving a bright red flag. “Silent Sam,” as the decoy was nicknamed, was used by the state Department of Highways to slow drivers as they neared workmen building an I-195 interchange and bridge near the Acca rail yards.

Lauren Winstead, 23, of Henrico County, and Sarah E. Erway, 28, of Chesterfield County, went missing about 3:15 p.m. May 30. They plunged over Bosher’s Dam on paddleboards. They were among a group of 12 people on a float trip that started out at Watkins Landing in Powhatan County.

A Richmond fire truck leaves Huguenot Flatwater Monday morning, June 6, 2022. Earlier Richmond Fire crews pulled a body from the James River east of the Huguenot Bridge. The remains are presumed to be Sarah E. Erway.
The body was found about 8:50 a.m. in the middle of the river, about 200 yards east of the bridge. Richmond Fire crews put a boat into the water at 8 a.m. at Pony Pasture and went to the Huguenot Bridge. They responded after a citizen called Richmond authorities at 7:48 a.m. to report seeing a body in the river.
Said Henrico police spokesman Matt Pecka: "However, as with any investigation we must work very closely with the state medical examiner to confirm the identity."
Authorities said Monday's discovery "concludes a week-long multi-agency search" for Erway and Lauren E. Winstead, 23 of Henrico, who also was lost in the river. Winstead's remains were found in the river Wednesday just west of the Powhite Parkway bridge.
Winstead and Erway went missing about 3:15 p.m. May 30 after plunging over Bosher’s Dam on paddleboards. They were among a group of 12 people on a float trip that started out at Watkins Landing in Powhatan County.
Their 10 companions, riding paddleboards or inflatable rafts, also plunged over the dam but were rescued or got to safety on their own.
On Monday, authorities said the "enormous effort" in locating the two women brought together search groups from surrounding jurisdictions as well as out-of-state agencies.
They included Henrico Police, Henrico Fire, Richmond Police, Richmond Fire, Virginia State Police, the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, Chesterfield County, Hanover County, Goochland County, Powhatan County, Henrico's Marine Unit, Metro Richmond Aviation, Metro Richmond Flying Squad, the James River Park System, the US Coast Guard, Richmond City Emergency Management and Henrico County Emergency Management.

A 15-year-old Bismarck boy died from injuries suffered Sunday in a two-vehicle crash in which speed played a factor, according to Bismarck police.
Police say the boy was driving east in a pickup truck near the intersection of Century Avenue and Ontario Lane at about 10:30 p.m. A Bismarck woman, 45-year-old Jolene Stockert, was westbound making a left turn to go south on Ontario Lane. The pickup struck the back passenger portion of her car, police said.
The teen was pronounced dead at a Bismarck hospital. Stockert was not injured. Police under state law cannot release the name of a juvenile killed in a crash.
Speed “appears to be a significant factor in the crash,” police say. The pickup after impact spun out and hit a utility pole several hundred feet east of the intersection, according to Lt. Jeff Solemsaas of the department’s traffic unit.

The attorney for a Bismarck imaging studio accused of bilking customers by shutting down without offering refunds to clients says the attorney general has filed a "grandstanding lawsuit" that mischaracterizes the studio’s business failure as intentional fraud.
Fargo attorney Tim O’Keeffe, who represents Glasser Images, on Friday filed a 10-page answer to Attorney General Drew Wrigley’s lawsuit. He added in a separate statement that business owner Jack Glasser and his partner and employee Jace Schacher have been working “seven days a week for the past eight months to help their clients get their photographs.”
“Sadly, a vast majority of the AG’s allegations in their lawsuit are based on their opinions, not the facts,” O’Keeffe said.
The attorney said he issued the Friday statement "to set the record straight in regards to what he believes is a grandstanding lawsuit by the ND Attorney General."
Wrigley claims the company had financial problems long before the COVID-19 pandemic, which Glasser blamed for the October 2021 closing of the business. In a lawsuit filed in May Wrigley accused Glasser and Schacher of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of company money on personal expenses -- travel, high-end dining, luxury vehicles -- while seeking loans to keep the business going. The lawsuit asks the court to bar the company from future photography services and force Glasser and Schacher to make restitution to customers and contractors who took photos for the company. It also seeks an unspecified monetary penalty. The suit further names as plaintiffs “John and Jane Does 1-100,” who were contracted by Glasser Images to provide photographic services.

Clients have filed with the attorney general's office more than $1.4 million in complaints against Glasser Images.
The accusations that Glasser and Schacher were living lavish lifestyles “is another mischaracterization of the facts,” O’Keeffe said, adding that Glasser and Schacher have “cut out all expenses in their life now as they focus on making sure their former clients get the images they are due.”
Wrigley “also fails to mention that a significant number of past customers have been reimbursed their monetary investments from the credit card companies,” O’Keeffe said.
The attorney in his answer to Wrigley’s complaint says any damages or wrongdoing “may in whole or in part be the result of the acts, omission, negligence or fault of John and Jane Doe 1-100, or other parties, known or unknown.” Contractors may hold photographs that belong to Glasser Images, or may have been paid by and provided services to clients without the company's knowledge, the document states.
O’Keeffe in his answer to the lawsuit seeks its dismissal and compensation for costs, disbursements and attorney fees, the document states.

TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — A New Mexico man has filed a lawsuit against American Airlines after being wrongfully identified and arrested as a shoplifting suspect, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Tarrant County court.
Michael Lowe is accusing American Airlines of negligence, mental, physical and financial damages after being jailed for 17 days for a crime he didn’t commit in 2020, the lawsuit said.
On May 12, 2020, Lowe boarded an American Airlines flight departing form Flagstaff, Arizona to Reno, Nevada, with a layover and change of plane at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Once on board his flight, Lowe took a selfie and sent it to his girlfriend, pictured below:
On May 13, 2020, DFW Airport police began investigating a burglary committed ahead of Lowe’s flight at a duty-free store in Terminal D of the airport, according to court records.
DFW police had a surveillance photo of the alleged suspect -- which showed a man with a low buzz cut, blue-navy shirt and light-colored jeans. DFW police then used surveillance video to track the alleged suspect’s location to the terminal that boarded the same flight as Lowe.
To identify the suspect, a DFW detective obtained a search warrant, which ordered American Airlines to produce any and all recorded travel data for all of the people on Lowe’s flight.
But Lowe’s attorneys said the airline failed to produce “any and all recorded travel data for all individuals,” and instead, provided the DFW detective with only Lowe’s data.
As a result, on June 30, 2020, two arrest warrants were issued for Lowe for felony burglary of a building and misdemeanor criminal mischief, according to court records.
On July 4, 2021, Lowe was on vacation in Tucumcari, New Mexico attending a Fourth of July celebrations, when he encountered police who were searching for someone who had caused a disturbance. When officers ran Lowe’s name and came across the warrants out of Tarrant County, Lowe was arrested.
Lowe was transported to the Quay County, New Mexico Detention Center, where he told authorities he was unaware of the charges and they had the wrong person in jail.
In the lawsuit, Lowe’s attorneys said, “The terror Mr. Lowe experienced while imprisoned in Quay County for the next 17 days was existential. Placed in a quarantine pod, the facilities contempt for the health, safety and well-being of its inmates was immediately obvious, as not a single staff member nor inmate wore a face covering.”
The lawsuit stated that Lowe also had to sleep on a concrete floor, witness violent confrontations and the unfair treatment of inmates.
When Lowe was released on his 17th day in prison, he was given no further information on the charges he faced and had no way of getting home, according to court documents.
After returning to his home in Arizona, Lowe launched his own investigation into the case to work on clearing his name. He called the Tarrant County jail, clerk’s office and the DA’s office before reaching the DFW police detective in charge of the case.
The detective told Lowe that another warrant had been issued for his arrest because Lowe was supposed to appear in Tarrant County court the same day he called. But Lowe continued to insist they had the wrong suspect, and the detective informed him that the information on Lowe was provided by American Airlines.
After weeks of trying to find representation for his case, the DFW detective had obtained Lowe’s mugshot from Quay County and compared it to the surveillance photos of the suspect wanted in the airport store burglary.
The detective and the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office determined that Lowe was innocent, and all charges were dropped.
But the damage had been already done, he alleged.
The lawsuit went on to explain Lowe’s changed outlook on police, his issues with aches, anxiety, fear and nightmares following his days in jail. Lowe was once an outdoorsman and was preparing to take clients on tour in Alaska with his business as a National Park Service leader before his arrest. But the trip was cancelled, and Lowe lost a substantial amount of income as his warrants remained active for some time.
Now, American Airlines is accused in the lawsuit of breaching its duty by failing to comply with DFW police's warrant, failing to protect the safety of its passengers and causing Lowe's mental, physical and financial problems.

Originally published May 31 on KTVB.COM.
In the wake of the mass shootings at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and at the grocery store in Buffalo, New York, the topic of gun control is at the forefront of many minds.
While it is a highly debated topic, some people may be surprised to hear what laws Idaho does or does not have when it comes to firearms and the Second Amendment.
Idahoans do not need a state permit to purchase or possess any rifle, shotgun or handgun in the state.
Subsection 3 of Idaho statute 18-3302 explains that Idaho is an open carry state, so people 18 and older can carry weapons without a license, open or concealed, as long as they’re not banned from having a gun.
The law writes that people can carry “any deadly weapon located in plain view, any lawfully possessed shotgun or rifle, any deadly weapon concealed in a motor vehicle, a firearm that is not loaded and is secured in a case and a firearm that is disassembled or permanently altered such that it is not readily operable.” A law in 2016 made Idaho the eighth state in the U.S. to allow permitless carry in cities.
According to the National Rifle Association, the state made an amendment to the law in 2020 that changed the open carry law from “a resident of Idaho” to “any citizen of the United States” while in the state.
Idaho state law said the only exception would be people are not allowed to legally carry when on a K-12 school campus, courthouse or jail facility.
Idaho has no state laws regulating assault weapons or large-capacity magazines, according to the NRA.
There are some restrictions on who may legally have a gun in the state.
Idaho law does not allow people and businesses to sell any weapon directly or indirectly to someone under 18 unless their parent or guardian gives written permission or is with them when they have the weapon. However, a minor can not have a handgun, fully automatic weapon or sawed-off shotgun regardless of parental consent, unless they’re in a class or competition, on private property or legally hunting.
It’s also against the law for someone to carry a concealed weapon when they’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Idaho law bans most people convicted of a felony from carrying a gun unless it is restored upon final discharge from a sentence, a pardon or a set aside of a conviction or guilty plea and dismissal of charges.
However, when it comes to most misdemeanors, even including some violent crimes, those with convictions can still carry and purchase firearms legally in the state, according to Everytown for Gun Safety. One of the few exceptions would be someone with a hate crime conviction.
“The people have the right to keep and bear arms, which right shall not be abridged; but this provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to govern the carrying of weapons concealed on the person nor prevent passage of legislation providing minimum sentences for crimes committed while in possession of a firearm, nor prevent the passage of legislation providing penalties for the possession of firearms by a convicted felon, nor prevent the passage of any legislation punishing the use of a firearm. No law shall impose licensure, registration or special taxation on the ownership or possession of firearms or ammunition. Nor shall any law permit the confiscation of firearms, except those actually used in the commission of a felony,” it says under Article 1, Section 11 of the Idaho State Constitution.
Idahoans still need a concealed weapon license when traveling to other states that require one. Licenses are available at the local county sheriff’s office and are valid for five years.
Everytown for Gun Safety ranks Idaho as No. 2 for states in the U.S. with the least-restrictive gun laws.

An Ada County judge dismissed a public records lawsuit against Rep. Priscilla Giddings, R-White Bird, in May, saying there’s no evidence she withheld records or acted in bad faith.
District Judge Peter Barton dismissed the case “with prejudice,” meaning it cannot be refiled.
The action stemmed from a public records request that Boise attorney Erika Birch filed last summer.
Birch represents the House intern who last year accused former Lewiston Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger of rape. She also filed a tort claim on behalf of her client, alleging that Giddings “conspired with von Ehlinger” to release information detrimental to the intern.
The records request asked Giddings for any written or electronic communications she’d had with von Ehlinger or von Ehlinger’s former attorney, David Leroy.
Giddings replied that her office “does not have any public record related to your request that isn’t already public.” The Legislative Services Offices, which handles records requests for lawmakers, also failed to find any relevant documents in Giddings’ House email account.
After Giddings ignored follow-up letters requesting clarification, Birch filed a motion to compel disclose of any records.
Judge Barton held a hearing in May for attorneys to argue the case.
Court documents indicate that Giddings stated under oath that she didn’t have any written communications with von Ehlinger, and that she deleted two emails from Leroy before receiving the records request from Birch.
Although the emails were public records, the Idaho Legislature hasn’t adopted a records retention schedule — meaning lawmakers can delete records whenever they want, so long as they aren’t the subject of a pending records request.
“There is no evidence currently before this court that ‘certain public records are being improperly withheld from a member of the public,’ ” Barton noted in his ruling, quoting from the relevant section of Idaho Code. “This court will not grant Ms. Birch’s request for an order compelling disclosure.”
Barton also rejected Birch’s request for attorney fees, as well as a request to impose a civil fine on Giddings.
“It has not been shown that Rep. Giddings acted ‘in bad faith improperly’ refusing Ms. Birch’s request,” he wrote. | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/public-records-lawsuit-against-giddings-dismissed/article_21397c94-911b-50cf-a88a-39aadfd3c3bc.html | 2022-06-06T19:28:25 | 0 | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/public-records-lawsuit-against-giddings-dismissed/article_21397c94-911b-50cf-a88a-39aadfd3c3bc.html |

An investigation continues in Queens where police say a 21-year-old male was shot and killed in front of a recording studio.
The incident occurred in front of 1080 Wyckoff Avenue in Ridgewood at around 1:30 a.m. on Monday, police say.
The victim, who has yet to be publicly identified, was shot in the head and was pronounced dead on arrival at the scene.

New York lawmakers have passed a bill targeting the use of warehouse productivity quotas in the state, a move aiming to curtail metrics employed by Amazon that has come under more scrutiny in the past few years.
Labor and safety advocates have long criticized the e-commerce giant’s use of productivity quotas that log how workers pack and stow packages. If workers are inactive for a set period of time, the company’s “time off task” tool can ding them for taking too many breaks, which critics have blamed for the company’s injury rates.
A report released in April by Strategic Organizing Center, a coalition of four labor unions, found Amazon employed 33% of all U.S. warehouse workers in 2021, but was responsible for 49% of all injuries in the industry. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has pushed back on those findings, but acknowledged in his shareholder letter that month the company’s warehouse injury rates “were a little higher than the average” and said they’d work to improve them.
The legislation, passed Friday, would require the retail giant and other companies to provide workers with information on quotas they’re assigned, how those quotas are developed and how such things could be used by the employer to discipline them. It would also prohibit employers from putting in place quotas that prevent workers from taking bathroom breaks or rest periods.
The legislation heads to Gov. Kathy Hochul, who hasn’t indicated her support but has cast a critical eye towards the Seattle-based company. Last month, she announced a state agency complaint against Amazon, which alleged the company discriminated against pregnant and disabled workers by denying reasonable accommodations and forcing them to take unpaid leave.
The legislation mimics a similar bill that was signed into law last year in California. State lawmakers in Washington and New Hampshire have also introduced similar bills.
In New York, Amazon workers in the New York City borough of Staten Island are attempting to get recognition by the company following their union victory in April. But Amazon has filed objections over the election with the National Labor Relations board, seeking to overturn the labor win and schedule a new election.

The Portland Tribune is a KOIN 6 News media partner
PORTLAND, Ore. (Portland Tribune) — It’s an immeasurable fear to not know whether you’re going to be able to find any baby formula — let alone the right formula — for your newborn.
“It is heartbreaking to hear people tell you that they’re going from store to store to store to try to feed their baby,” says Lesley Mondeaux, director of the Tigard-based nonprofit Northwest Mother’s Milk Bank.
But amid the ongoing formula shortage, mothers in the Portland area have been stepping up in huge numbers to donate breast milk, helping to ensure regional reserves remain available to feed babies, Mondeaux says.
The shut down of Abbott Nutrition’s Michigan baby formula plant in February triggered the nationwide shortage after bacterial contamination concerns at the facility prompted a recall of several of the most-used formulas in the country.
Out-of-stock rates for formula in Oregon topped 85% for the week ending May 28, according to data from the retail data tracker Datasembly.
As the only milk bank in the Northwest, Mondeaux’s organization works to supply donated breast milk to mothers in need across Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Idaho. The milk bank prioritizes the most vulnerable newborns to receive donations, requiring a doctor’s prescription because donated breast milk is a limited resource.
One of the biggest populations the milk bank serves is families with babies born prematurely. Many of those families still need to supplement breast milk with formula because their babies require so many extra calories and nutrients for growth, Mondeaux said.
The milk bank’s hospital orders, which account for roughly 75% of what it supplies, have increased substantially in recent weeks as hospitals react to continued shortages of formula, according to Mondeaux.
Meanwhile, calls from mothers interested in donating milk have increased threefold, she said. Also, the milk bank is screening about two times as many potential donors compared to this time last year.
“Milk donors are heroes,” she said. “Families just want to help other families. It’s very heartwarming.”
Need, and donations, up
On a recent Thursday morning, with several walk-in storage freezers containing racks of frozen milk buzzing in the background, workers in the milk bank’s intake area were unpacking boxes of donated milk. The 18 boxes received that day was higher than the daily average of 10 to 12, one worker said, adding that she’s received as many as 54 boxes in a day.
There are many reasons why families might feed their babies formula, said Dr. Shaili Rajput, a pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente and child health advocate with the Oregon Pediatric Society.
Many mothers don’t produce enough milk to supply all of what their baby needs or have trouble sustaining production for the time — at least four to six months of a newborn’s life — for which exclusive breastfeeding or formula use is recommended, Rajput said.
Mothers also can have anatomical issues that make providing milk difficult or painful. If a mother has twins or triplets, chances are high that she is going to need to at least supplement breastfeeding with formula, Rajput said.
There also are a lot of socio-economic factors that make lower-income mothers more likely to rely on formula, she said. Many employers don’t give mothers any paid maternity leave. Also, many mothers work multiple jobs to make ends meet, and finding the time to pump or breastfeed can be difficult.
It’s those same factors that can put mothers at a loss for what to do to feed their babies if they don’t have time to drive to multiple stores or long distances to find formula, Rajput said. About 15% of her patients are in low-income situations and use the Oregon Health Plan for insurance, she said.
“Those photos of empty shelves are a really stark picture of what the situation is looking like,” Rajput said. “That’s nothing I ever imagined I would see. This is basic, essentially life-sustaining nutrition that should be readily available at all times.”
For the most part, her patients have been able to find the right amount of formula, Rajput said, adding that doing so has come with a lot of stress.
“We screen every patient for food insecurity to make sure they have what they need,” she said. “But when you are struggling to feed your baby, you might not be coming into doctor’s visits. It’s challenging to get places when you’re struggling to meet your child’s most basic needs.”
Mondeaux said that, within the last couple of weeks, the milk bank has increasingly received calls from mothers with newborns who’ve so far been able to find enough formula but are anxious about whether they’ll be able to find it in the future.
Expectant mothers who are planning to breastfeed also have been increasingly calling to try to establish backup plans in case breastfeeding doesn’t go well, she said.
Where help is needed most
The milk bank is always trying to expand the number of people it can serve outside of hospitals, Mondeaux said, adding that the increased donations help. Sometimes, the milk bank is able to provide families with a short-term supply of milk until they’re able to establish breastfeeding or to find formula, she said.
The milk bank’s clients pay a small processing fee to cover the costs of donor screening, milk pasteurization and distribution. But the nonprofit also has programs that allow families to pay a discounted rate or forego payment to ensure that income is not a barrier.
A high percentage of families who feed their babies with formula turn to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) to pay for it.
Multnomah County’s WIC program currently serves about 9,000 families, including 2,500 families with infants, said Sarah Hallaj, a program clinic supervisor with the county. About half of those infants rely 100% on formula for their nutrition, with another portion using some formula, she said.
WIC staff have been going out to stores in the area to check on formula supplies, fielding reports of where it might be available to pass on to families and calling families to ask how they can help, Hallaj said.
“Our call center has been busy,” Hallaj said, adding that they have a call list to make sure everyone gets a response. Staff also have been texting clients to make communication easy.
Oregon WIC received USDA approval to temporarily add 80 different formula types and sizes to the list of products families can purchase with their WIC cards.
Veronica Lopez Ericksen, interim nutrition programs manager for the county, attributes those changes in part to the ongoing advocacy she and other WIC officials across the state are doing to boost WIC participants’ access to formula.
Officials also are advocating for expanding how WIC participants can use their benefits, including purchasing formula online, Lopez Ericksen said.
“It provides that opportunity to bring more equity to our participating families,” she said.
On Saturday, June 4, Abbott Nutrition said it had restarted the production of several formulas.

The federal government is providing tens of millions of dollars in aid to Nebraska ethanol producers.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced last week that it is giving more than $700 million in relief to more than 100 biofuel producers and nearly 200 facilities, including nearly $100 million to 11 biofuel producers with Nebraska operations.
The largest amount, more than $27.4 million, went to Omaha-based Green Plains Inc., which has facilities in Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and Iowa. Chief Industries, which has ethanol plants in Hastings and Lexington, got more than $18 million, while E-Energy Adams received $14 million.
The money, which was made available through the Biofuel Producer Program, created as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, is meant to help offset losses caused by the pandemic. USDA said in a news release that the U.S. biofuels industry sustained combined losses of 3.7 billion gallons because of the pandemic.
"The investments we’re announcing today will pave the way to economic recovery for America’s biofuel producers, stimulate a critical market for U.S. farmers and ranchers, and support our nation’s transition to a clean-energy economy,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a news release.
The owners of the former Sears building at Gateway Mall have filed a $4.5 million building permit for work to transform it into a mixed-use, multiple-tenant building.
The Lincoln-based student finance company cut jobs in multiple states, with a “small number in Nebraska." A spokesman for the company attributed the layoffs to the student loan payment moratorium.
The utility said a number of companies operating in the Lincoln area are using aggressive sales tactics and misrepresenting the benefits customers receive from installing solar panels on their homes.

SPRINGDALE, Ark. — The Wear Orange event is part of a national movement meant to honor gun violence victims. Community partners came together to offer services for victims and to educate the public in Springdale this weekend.
“We have voices and we want them to be heard, and so it's powerful to see our elected officials saying that there is more to be done,” said Anthony Dinicola.
Anthony Dinicola and Monica Thomas are relatively new to Northwest Arkansas. Dinicola lived in Chicago for thirteen years where gun violence was normal for him. They attended this event because they want to see change in the community and become more aware of this ongoing issue.
“I want to be involved in a community that is saying 'we are coming together in a place of love and connection,'” Dinicola said.
Their be S.M.A.R.T. program is an acronym used by Moms Demand Action for gun safety. The letter S for secure, M for model, A for ask, R for recognize, and T for tell.
“A lot of private organizations offer classes in gun safety in the area and I would just say if you’re going to take the step of going to get trained and getting a gun, just be trained on how to properly secure it," said Ellen Weintraut, a volunteer with Moms Demand Action.
The message that Moms Demand Action wants to get across is not about removing guns. It’s about being smart with weapons.
“If you’re going to have a gun just be safe. Lock it up because kids will find them,” said Weintraut.
If you would like to get involved with Moms Demand Action text “act” to 64-43-33 and you will be added to the national Mom’s Demand Action organization.

CALIFORNIA, USA — This story was originally published by CalMatters.
On a Thursday night in May, at least 16 San Francisco police officers responded to a fight underneath a freeway overpass.
Two men were struggling on the ground, one armed with a knife. In body camera footage released by the San Francisco Police Department, officers fired bean bag rounds at the man with the knife and pleaded with him to drop the weapon.
After more than 10 minutes, San Francisco police said later, the man with the knife drew the weapon closer to the other man. Three officers fired pistols and a fourth fired a rifle. Both men were killed.
The San Francisco incident was the latest shooting investigated under Assembly Bill 1506, the 2021 law that compels police departments to turn over investigations of the killing of unarmed civilians to the state Department of Justice.
It was the 17th such investigation launched since July, out of 31 incidents examined, the department said Friday.
Attorney General Rob Bonta was appointed to the vacant AG’s post in March 2021 by fellow Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom. Now he is up for his first election, facing a slate of candidates further to the political right amid a new national focus on police transparency around their use of force.
Bonta, while in the state Assembly, helped shepherd the bill into law, but his challengers from the right are divided on the law’s effectiveness.
Conservative independent and Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said she supports the law but worries about investigations being “politicized.”
Bonta, who did not comment for this story, has said previously that the law is strengthening accountability and transparency in police shootings.
Nathan Hochman, the candidate with the state Republican Party endorsement, believes the law could lead to an overreach of state power. The candidate furthest to the right, Eric Early, worries that AB 1506 investigations could make police officers hesitate “in the heat of battle.”
In 11 months since the law was enacted, the Department of Justice has not filed any charges against officers out of the 17 cases they have investigated.
That includes the first AB 1506 case, when Matthew James Sova was allegedly threatening people with a pistol-shaped butane lighter on a busy section of Hollywood Boulevard in July. He was shot and killed by Los Angeles police.
A University of California, Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies/Los Angeles Times survey released Friday found that Bonta maintains a commanding lead among likely voters in Tuesday’s top-two primary, including 38% of voters not affiliated with any party.
Among Republican candidates, Early led Hochman, 16%-12%, with a nine-point lead among likely Republican voters. Schubert, running without party affiliation, had just 6% of the vote among likely voters, the survey showed.
In her role as Sacramento County District Attorney, Schubert decided not to file charges against two officers for the shooting of Stephon Clark, a Sacramento man killed by police in March 2018 while holding a cell phone that officers said they thought was a gun. In fact, she has never charged a police officer after an officer-involved shooting since being elected in 2014.
Schubert came to national attention when she declined to file charges in the Clark case. In the following months, then-California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and the FBI both made the same decision.
But to protesters, Schubert remained the symbol of a system that failed to hold police accountable for the shooting deaths of unarmed civilians.
After the initial Clark protests, Schubert’s office constructed an eight-foot-tall, chain-link fence around the district attorney’s building. Protesters came back, this time to protest the fence. And they brought a piñata of Schubert.
“I’d never had a piñata made (of) my head,” she told CalMatters in April. “And so for me, you have to be willing to recognize that these are difficult conversations, and there’s community anger.”
In January 2019, less than one year after Clark’s death, Sacramento Democrat Kevin McCarty introduced AB 1506. At the time, McCarty said he was dissatisfied when the Department of Justice refused to conduct independent investigations of several police shootings, despite requests from community activists.
Schubert said in April she supported the bill and generally isn’t troubled by taking fatal police shootings out of the hands of the locals.
“I think it’s perfectly fine going to the attorney general as long as you’re getting a full, fair and independent investigation, and things are not politicized,” she said.
Hochman, a former assistant U.S. attorney, told CalMatters in April that he has experience prosecuting rogue officers, especially the case of six Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies convicted of conspiring to steal cash from drug dealers in 1990.
He worries that the state could overreach, bulldozing over local authorities.
“These are very tough cases,” Hochman said. “If the state attorney general comes in like a cowboy and decides, ‘I’m just going to do this myself and not cooperate or work with anybody else,’ it’s a bad way to deal with this situation.”
Early, the leading Republican candidate in the UC Berkeley/Los Angeles Times survey, said the law isn’t necessary, since the attorney general can still investigate individual shootings. In the meantime, he said, AB 1506 investigations only serve to slow down officers when they should be thinking fastest.
“Laws such as AB 1506 may plant an additional seed of doubt in an officer’s mind which could cause them to hesitate at a moment when their life may hang in the balance of a split decision,” Early said. “There are often times when a split second decision could mean life or death for the officers involved.”

CALIFORNIA, Ky. — This story was originally published by CalMatters.
Michael Shellenberger was once a self-professed young radical, studying abroad in Nicaragua for a semester in high school in solidarity with the Sandinistas and advocating early in his career for drug decriminalization and needle exchange programs.
But the Berkeley author and activist finally left the Democratic Party last year, disgusted with its embrace of what he calls the “victim ideology” of “wokeism.” In his second long-shot bid for governor — he received less than 1% of the vote in the 2018 primary — Shellenberger is running as an independent, hoping to appeal to Californians frustrated with the failures of its political hegemony.
A poll published Friday by the Los Angeles Times and the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies found that he is running a distant third, the choice of 5% of voters, with Gov. Gavin Newsom well ahead of all his challengers in Tuesday’s top-two primary.
“I’m a liberal in my compassion for the vulnerable. I’m libertarian in my passion for freedom. I’m conservative in my belief that civilization is required for both,” Shellenberger said during a 90-minute interview last week at the CalMatters office in Sacramento.
Shellenberger said a major turning point for his ideological shift was the sharp rise in overdose deaths nationwide in recent decades and a response by progressives that he considers too accepting of addiction. He said that on issues ranging from poverty to the racial achievement gap in schools, Democrats in California have embraced a “pity narrative,” sending a message to people that they are inherently victims and shouldn’t take steps to improve their lives.
“It seemed to me that what was being said was, we shouldn’t promote the idea that people can overcome adversity,” Shellenberger said. “It’s unhealthy psychologically.”
Here are five policies that he would pursue if he is elected governor.
‘Consequence for them to get into rehab’
Shellenberger’s central campaign plank is to completely overhaul the state’s approach to the homelessness crisis, which he blames mostly on a permissive attitude toward drug use rather than a housing shortage.
As governor, Shellenberger said he would immediately declare a state of emergency and tap into disaster response funds to build vast amounts of new shelter space across California. Then he would send in law enforcement to dismantle encampments, which he refers to as open-air drug scenes, offering residents the choice between moving to a shelter or getting arrested.
“I’m going to be very firm that we’ve got to be enforcing these laws, because if you don’t enforce the laws, people don’t follow them, you don’t have a civilization,” he said.
Under Shellenberger’s plan, homeless people would only be offered permanent housing if they first received treatment for any drug or mental health problems. He also wants the state to take over local homelessness services, under a new agency called Cal-Psych focused on psychiatric and addiction care that could coordinate placements throughout the state rather than in a single county.
Shellenberger said the goal of his controversial approach is not to put homeless people in prison, but to force them to accept treatment.
“It’s all about carrots and sticks. Consequence for them to get into rehab,” he said. “Arresting somebody is not the same thing as incarcerating them. Could be. … You might be arrested. You might be brought to jail. You might be brought in front of a social worker. You might be brought in front of a psychiatrist. You might be given a ticket. It’s going to depend.”
‘Defend nuclear power plants from closing’
Before running for governor, Shellenberger rose to prominence as an advocate for nuclear power. Though he concedes he has no formal training in nuclear engineering, he said he came to his fierce conviction that nuclear is the best source of power for a clean energy future by interviewing experts around the world. He is currently writing a book on the subject, which he said he plans to finish this year if he doesn’t make it past Tuesday’s primary.
“The most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do in my life is defend nuclear power plants from closing,” an unpopular position among the environmental movement and the public, Shellenberger said. He’s even on the fringe among pro-nuclear activists, who generally favor transitioning to new plants with more advanced reactor designs, because he believes the existing cooling technologies are sufficient: “I’m a heretic among heretics.”
If elected, Shellenberger would push to increase California’s reliance on nuclear power, which he said provides far more reliability than renewables in the transition to a decarbonized energy system. In addition to a reprieve for Diablo Canyon, California’s only operating nuclear power plant which is slated to close in 2025, he wants to add new reactors there and reopen the shuttered San Onofre nuclear plant.
But Shellenberger also favors increasing oil and gas production in the state in the meantime to cut down on imports and bring down energy prices.
“We need a vision of energy abundance,” he said.
‘Build a societal consensus’
How can California better reflect the will of its residents as the state tries to solve its most pressing problems? Perhaps with “citizen juries,” randomly selected samples of the electorate who would participate in town hall meetings across the state to debate solutions and develop recommendations for the Legislature.
Shellenberger wants to create three sets of panels to “build a societal consensus” around how to address housing, education and energy and water issues in California. If the Legislature didn’t pass those proposals, Shellenberger said he would take them to the ballot and campaign to elect new lawmakers.
“My calculation is that the opposition will be reduced and support will increase if people see that it’s a California-wide proposal,” he said. “If 2024 comes around and we need legislators that are going to implement the will of the people as has been shaped by those citizen juries, then I’ll be able to go out there on the road and help to get the legislators elected who are going to be more aligned with the will of the voters.”
‘Raise the esteem of the police’
As Californians debate the role of law enforcement, Shellenberger is all in on expanding police forces — a move that he argues would not only make the public safer, but also address many of the problems that critics highlight with current policing practices.
Shellenberger believes that hiring more officers would reduce incarceration by preventing crime and decrease police violence, because departments would have more time for training and a greater ability to fire those who break the rules. As governor, he would propose directing state funding to local law enforcement agencies and lean on cities to bulk up their police departments.
“We need more police. We need to work very hard to expand policing,” Shellenberger said. “I want to raise the esteem of the police. I want to do whatever we need to do to get more police.”
‘Get students studying more’
Shellenberger blames California’s “atrocious” math and reading proficiency rates on lowered standards that have undermined expectations for students to achieve. To raise these “civilization-destroying numbers,” he wants to extend the school day, lengthen the academic year and shift school schedules so they better align with parents’ work hours.
“Get students studying more,” he said. “We know that there is a direct relationship between the amount of time students do math or reading and their performance. This seems obvious, but sometimes, it feels like the obvious thing is the thing that nobody wants to talk about.”

BOISE, Idaho — This article originally appeared in the Idaho Press.
Although the longstanding Boise Pride Festival will be held in September again this year, there will still be events to mark Pride Month in June.
On June 13, the Boise Pride organization and the Boise Gay Men’s Chorus and the affiliated Boise Women’s Chorus will host a “Taproom Takeover” at Payette Brewery, starting at 6 p.m. The event is designed to “highlight positive community LGBTQ awareness,” according to Donald Williamson, executive director of Boise Pride.
The event is open to all ages.
The Boise Gay Men’s Chorus often focuses on keeping its events family friendly, according to Doug Rinard, the group’s treasurer.
“It bridges that gap,” he said.
Holding the pride event at a brewery also puts it in a space not normally associated with the gay community, he said, which can potentially open it up to a broader audience.
“We feel like maybe we can educate people who might not normally feel comfortable,” he said.
Live performances by the chorus will begin at 7 p.m., and there will be a raffle for prizes such as tickets to the Lumineers concert and VIP passes to the hospitality tent for the pride festival.
“Those are very popular,” Rinard said of the VIP passes. “People who win it get treated like royalty.”
Tickets will be $5 for one or five tickets for $20.
Payette Brewery will also donate 50% of beer sales that night to the choruses.
On June 25, the Boise gay men’s and women’s choruses will perform a free Broadway in the Park concert at Julia Davis Park. The Pride Month concert will be free and open to all ages.
The performance will also feature Common Ground Chorus, a local diversity group.
This is the second performance that’s been funded through a grant from the Boise City Department of Arts and History, Rinard said.
This year’s concert will center around show tunes, he said, but sometimes with a unique spin.
“It’ll be fun, upbeat and family friendly,” he said.
The event will also feature a raffle drawing.
Both events are designed with the same intention as the pride festival, according to Williamson. This year’s festival will take place Sept. 9-11. The Treasure Valley event has been around since 1989 and has grown significantly in the more than 30 years in existence, Williamson said.
“We’re striving to promote unity and celebrate the diversity of the Boise community,” he said. “... It’s important to let members of the LGBTQ community know that they’re seen, that they’re heard and that they’re not alone.”

BOISE, Idaho — This article originally appeared in the Idaho Press.
Idaho native Shirley Law was serving with the Navy in Norfolk, Virginia, when she heard World War II had ended.
Law, who was born in 1924 and grew up in Homedale, enlisted when she was 20 years old. At the time, women couldn’t go overseas.
“I remember going downtown in Norfolk and the streets were crowded and everybody was celebrating,” Law said. “It was a lot of fun.”
The Idaho Press spoke to female veterans in the Treasure Valley ahead of the 78th anniversary of D-Day on June 6. One of them was Law, 96, who served in the Second World War.
Law first went to training in New York City. She was transferred to Cedar Falls, Iowa, for more training and then went to Norfolk. In 1946, she was discharged. She moved back to Idaho and married a man who served in the Air Force. She currently calls Boise home.
“I really felt important working in the Navy,” Law said. “I enjoyed it and I met a lot of interesting people.”
She’s not the only female veteran with Treasure Valley ties who served at a time when it was rare for women to be in the armed forces.
Another Idaho woman, Judith Eighmy, was born the same year D-Day occurred. Eighmy also served in the Navy, but from 1964 to 1969.
She was born in Michigan in 1944, grew up in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and now lives in Meridian. She moved here 17 years ago to help out her daughter after her daughter’s husband was deployed and the couple’s first son was born.
Eighmy initially joined because she needed money or she was going to have to drop out of school. The Army and Navy were both looking for nurses, and had programs to help pay for college.
As soon as she got her registered nurse credentials, Eighmy went to Newport, Rhode Island. There, she trained and was commissioned as an ensign. After Newport, she went to work at a Navy hospital in Oakland, California.
“The Vietnam war was ramping up,” Eighmy said. “There were so many amputations … and you always think about what is their life going to be like after?”
The Bay Area was a hotbed of opposition to the war. But as a woman, it was easier to hide her involvement.
“Nobody thought you could ever have been there,” she said.
Then, Eighmy requested to go to a hospital ship off the coast of Vietnam.
“I really wanted to go. It was like an adventure and I also wanted to continue taking care of these young soldiers and sailors and Marines,” Eighmy said. “I was really honored to get to go.”
On the ship, wounded and sick soldiers came aboard, almost all by helicopter. If the ship was in a port, the patients could come by boat. Eighmy took care of some Vietnamese civilians when she could.
It was challenging to serve as a woman, Eighmy said.
“In those days, women tolerated things that they don’t tolerate anymore. We kind of normalized certain bad behavior on the part of the males,” Eighmy said. “You didn’t like it, but you tolerated it because you didn’t think there was any other way it could be.”
After the war, Eighmy left the military. Women at the time couldn’t serve and have children and Eighmy thought a family was something she wanted.
She remained a nurse, but only worked bedside for a year.
“It was just very hard to go back to a hospital when you’d been in the military and when you’d been in a war. In a war you do whatever is necessary,” Eighmy said. “When you come back to the United States, there’s a lot of concern for this rule, that rule, this law, that law.”
Overall, though, Eighmy loved her time in the Navy.
“It was a great adventure. It was also a test,” she said. “I was always testing myself to see what I’m made of.”
The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, where Peg McCown and her husband Don both volunteer, has plenty of military history.
Peg McCown is originally from Glendora, California. She was born in 1950 and joined the Navy at age 18. She had an uncle she admired in the Navy and her sister saw some literature in the post office about joining the Navy and got it for her.
She went to boot camp in Cambridge, Maryland, enduring a tough winter for an L.A. girl.
“I was nervous,” McCown said. “I’d never left home before.”
After boot camp, she was stationed in Pensacola, Florida. Then, doubting whether or not to continue, she went home for three months and decided the Navy was what she wanted. McCown moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and became an aviation supply specialist. She moved all over the country, from San Diego to North Island.
In North Island, her husband retired from the Navy. McCown went out because she was going to be shipped overseas.
They went to Austin, where she re-affiliated with the Navy. The couple then moved to Colorado, where McCown worked at Buckley Airfield. Later they moved to Point Mugu and then Dallas, where she retired.
“You don’t form really solid relationships because you know you’re not going to be there,” McCown said.
Their latest move brought them to Nampa.
In the Navy, McCown said there were catcalls and whistles, but she ignored them and they didn’t bother her. She had wanted to be an aircraft mechanic, but that job was closed to women. Still, a lot of jobs have opened up to women, which she said is very nice.
“I can’t say it was a negative experience as a female,” McCown said. “After a while, you do your job.”

TEXAS, USA — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is directing an active shooter training center to provide training to all Texas school districts before the next school year.
Editorial note: The above video is from a previous story.
The directive comes after the Uvalde school shooting that left 19 students and two teachers dead at Robb Elementary School.
In a letter to the ALERRT Center at Texas State University, Abbott said the state can benefit from the center's expertise.
In 2013, ALERRT was named the gold standard in active shooter response training by the FBI.
"We sadly recognize we cannot do anything to bring back previous lives that were taken," Abbott wrote in the letter. "However, we must do everything in our power to prevent the same tragic ending from happening again."
RELATED: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushing to provide every school police officer with a bulletproof shield
Abbott requests that ALERRT debrief school administrators, law enforcement personnel and other school safety decision-makers to prioritize school-based law enforcement training.
Abbott also said the training must start before the next school year begins.
ALERRT is designed for first responders to use effective strategies in response to active attacks, according to their website.
They've trained over 200,000 first responders nationwide with their 16-hour program. The training includes team movement, room entry techniques, shooting and moving, and how to approach the crisis.
The letter to ALERRT comes days after Abbott requested state leaders form a special legislative committee, but stopped short of calling for a special legislative session.
"I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
- School safety
- Mental health
- Social media
- Police training
- Firearm safety
It is important the process begins immediately," Abbott wrote.
Abbott recently requested a complete safety review of Texas public schools -- including random, unannounced security checks -- in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting. | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/gov-abbott-requests-texas-school-districts-complete-active-shooter-training/285-abe87cec-8498-4bea-a40f-a32b5505ead7 | 2022-06-06T19:57:35 | 1 | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/gov-abbott-requests-texas-school-districts-complete-active-shooter-training/285-abe87cec-8498-4bea-a40f-a32b5505ead7 |

The Gary Public Transportation Corp. recently launched Access219, its redesigned and rebranded paratransit service.
It's a service in which Gary Public Transportation vans pick up disabled residents at their homes when they are unable to make their way to a bus stop on a fixed route.
The public transit service started redeveloping the program in 2020, approving changes last year. It was just rebranded as "Access219" to highlight accessibility and symbolize movement.
"Access219 was our way of creating a more visible brand for the paratransit and reimagining," Planning and Marketing Manager David Wright said. "Access219 is regional because we operate in 10 communities in Northwest Indiana."
Access219 vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts and securement devices to be accessible to people with disabilities. Riders pay fares to go anywhere within 3/4 of a mile of an existing transit route the bus service runs.
"The vehicles have the new brand," Wright said. "It makes it a bit more of an identity for that mode. It's always been an add-on to our fixed route system but now it is its own mode."
Gary Public Transportation aims to offer paratransit riders "the same safe, clean, reliable, efficient and courteous transportation services that is afforded to fixed-route customers."
"We might try to elevate it," he said. "We might try to expand eligibility, looking at ways of working with veterans organizations of making it accessible to veterans as well. But that brand is the first step in imagining how we reach out to the customers that do more than ride our fixed-route buses."
The Gary Public Transportation Corp. currently runs four paratransit vans.
"If you are physically or otherwise unable to make it to a regular bus stop, you can apply with a doctor's eligibility to use our paratransit system," he said. "It's basically for people who are unable to get to a bus stop because of a disability."

GARY — Charges were filed Monday in Lake Juvenile Court against two boys arrested after a shooting wounded two people Sunday outside the U.S. Steel Yard following a high school graduation ceremony, police said.
The boys, ages 16 and 17, were taken into custody by Lake County sheriff's police, who were working security at the stadium during West Side Leadership Academy's commencement, according to police and the Lake County prosecutor's office.
They were charged with criminal recklessness and dangerous possession of a firearm, the prosecutor's office said. They were being held at the Lake County Juvenile Detention Center.
"We are in the process of reviewing the evidence to determine if one or both of the juveniles will be charged as adults," said Myrna Maldonado, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office.
A 20-year-old Hammond man remained in custody pending further investigation, Gary police Cmdr. Jack Hamady said.
A 19-year-old Gary man was shot in the chest, and a 19-year-old Gary woman suffered a graze wound to her ankle, police said. They were the only two confirmed victims in the shooting.
Both victims were released from a hospital Sunday night, Hamady said.
Police completed interviews Monday with the three people in custody and continued to talk with witnesses and review video footage from the area.
Additional charges against the two boys remained under review, he said.
Police could be seen late Sunday collecting a number of spent bullet casings from the crime scene on East Fifth Avenue.
Analysis of ballistics evidence was being conducted, Hamady said.
More than 200 students graduated Sunday from West Side Leadership Academy, officials said.
Police responded about 6:15 p.m. to reports of shots fired and a man down on East Fifth Avenue in front of the stadium. The woman was found minutes later near a rib restaurant.
Gary Mayor Jerome Prince vowed Sunday night to use all available law enforcement resources to bring whomever was responsible to justice.
"It's infuriating to me to hear of violence and injuries on a special night for our young people and their families," Prince said. "I pray for a full and speedy recovery for anyone who was injured."
Brian Lyter, president of Gary SouthShore RailCats parent company Salvi Sports Enterprises, said the shooting was unfortunate.
The stadium employs its own security during ballgames, and there have been no other violent incidents at the park, he said.
Councilman Ron Brewer, who spoke with police officers at the crime scene, said security shouldn't be blamed.
"It's sad it came to this," he said. "Somebody came here with the idea that this is what they wanted to do."
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Gary detectives at 219-881-1210. To remain anonymous, call 866-CRIME-GP.

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (WJHL) — A heavily-traveled intersection in Elizabethton will be closed overnight beginning Tuesday.
City officials said the intersection of West Elk Avenue and Bemberg Road will close to traffic around 7 p.m.
Crews will be replacing the traffic signals at the intersection.
The project is expected to take around 12 hours. The intersection will reopen once the project is complete. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/crews-to-replace-signals-at-elizabethton-intersection-tuesday-night/ | 2022-06-06T20:20:42 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/crews-to-replace-signals-at-elizabethton-intersection-tuesday-night/ |
BRISTOL, Va. (WJHL) – Governor Glenn Youngkin visited Southwest Virginia on Monday to help break ground on a new school within the Bristol Virginia Public School System.
According to Superintendent Keith Perrigan, this project has been in the works for over two decades. He said it became one of his main missions back in 2017, but like any project, it faced its hurdles.
Years later, in the summer of 2022, the ground has been officially broken on the new intermediate school that will one day host the district’s second through fifth graders.
The groundbreaking Monday took place at the future site of the school which sits adjacent to Van Pelt Elementary. Once this facility opens, Van Pelt will shift to a primary school, teaching students in Pre-K through first grade.
Three current schools within the district will consolidate into the new intermediate school. Those schools are Highland View, Washington Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The fate of those buildings will be decided by the city council once they are empty.
According to Perrigan, the facilities within the Bristol Virginia Public School system happen to be the fourth-oldest in the entire state.
Van Pelt is the newest school in the district, and construction began on it nearly 50 years ago to the day.
Now that progress is finally underway on this new facility, officials with the district expect to welcome students in the fall of 2024.
“It’s a historic day in the city of Bristol, Virginia,” Perrigan said. “We’ve gone way too long without updating our schools and thankfully we’re going to have some assistance from the state to help make this project more affordable.”
Amid school safety concerns fresh on the mind because of the shooting in Uvalde, the new design makes safety measures the number one priority.
“We’re going to have a lot of different safety options that aren’t part of our old buildings to make sure that our students are as safe as can be, but the number one thing that we can do to ensure our students and staff are safe is to have an armed and trained resource officer in our building,” said Perrigan. “And we’re going to have an officer at every single school in Bristol Virginia Public Schools.”
Governor Youngkin said this is a monumental move for the school district.
“This is a very important moment for us to be investing in our facilities, and that’s why our budget, I’m so proud of,” Youngkin said. “There’s an opportunity for us across the Commonwealth to provide support for the construction of schools that have been crumbling for 50 years or as we heard, 80 and 90 years.”
The new capacity will be just shy of 700 students with additional rooms being built in anticipation of population growth in Bristol.
“This truly is a big deal. I want to congratulate the city of Bristol and Bristol City schools for providing the best education possible in facilities that students deserve,” said Senator Todd Pillion. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/groundbreaking-ceremony-held-for-new-bristol-va-intermediate-school/ | 2022-06-06T20:20:48 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/groundbreaking-ceremony-held-for-new-bristol-va-intermediate-school/ |
BRISTOL, Tenn. (WJHL) — Advanced Call Center Technologies (ACT) will add 650 total jobs to its Tri-Cities workforce and fill an empty call center as the company opens new “inbound contact centers” in Kingsport and Bristol.
“These are new projects serving new clients of ACT,” NETWORKS-Sullivan County CEO Clay Walker told News Channel 11 Monday. ACT has more than 2,000 current employees at sites in Boones Creek and Johnson City.
One of the sites will occupy the former Agero call center. That company still has a large number of employees in the area but shifted its model to home-based work during the COVID-19 pandemic and has decided to retain it.
Walker said local leaders teamed with people from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (ECD) and worked on the new project for about a year after the company told them it was growing and would need new call center space wherever it ended up.
“Agero needed out of their lease, which was coming up for renewal, so we told the property owner,” Walker said.
The building met ACT’s needs for one of the new call centers, and with the state “deeply involved in both of these deals,” Walker said the other one landed in Kingsport’s Holston Medical Group headquarters building.
“They’re already hiring people and they’re serving clients in Kingsport,” Walker said.
He said workforce was a particular focus for ACT.
“Workforce is everybody’s issue,” he said. “They still felt confident enough in our labor to choose this location.”
ECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe agreed.
“In Tennessee, we are fortunate to have a skilled workforce that is capable of meeting the needs of the companies that call our state home,” Rolfe said.
ACT’s CEO, Hunter Croft, said 20 years of success in Johnson City had helped ACT develop “appreciation for these thriving communities (of the Tri-Cities).”
Croft said ACT and the industry face “explosive market demand for skilled customer experience employees.”
ACT is employee-owned and Croft said the new centers will offer competitive pay and benefits, including shares in the company.
“We’re confident that our company culture and values will be a great fit for the hardworking people of Bristol and Kingsport, and we’re proud to join these special communities at a very exciting stage in our organization’s growth,” Croft said.
Bristol Mayor Mahlon Luttrell said while filling an employers’ building that comes on the market is always a positive, “it often means the loss of jobs for a community.
“In this case, not only do we have one contact center with several hundred people who are now able to work from home thanks to our fast and reliable fiber infrastructure, but we’re also welcoming a new partner bringing roughly 400 jobs to fill vacant seats at that facility.” | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/new-clients-new-jobs-act-adding-350-jobs-in-kingsport-300-in-bristol/ | 2022-06-06T20:20:54 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/new-clients-new-jobs-act-adding-350-jobs-in-kingsport-300-in-bristol/ |
NICHOLAS COUNTY, WV (WOWK) – The man arrested in connection to the shootout that killed a Nicholas County deputy Friday night has been charged with first-degree murder.
Brent Tyler Kelly, 28, was arrested Friday, June 3, 2022, following the shootout that happened shortly after 7:30 p.m. that evening. Deputy Thomas Baker and suspect Richie Holcomb were both killed in the incident, and Cpl. J. Ellison received an injury to his leg.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Nicholas County Magistrate Court, the incident began when Nicholas County 911 dispatchers received a call regarding alleged destruction of property on Holcomb Street in Birch River. The complaint states deputies were advised the two suspects, Kelly and Richie Holcomb were allegedly “held up in a camper with a possible 9mm AR-15.”
Four deputies, including Baker, responded to the location of the camper on Fire House Road in Birch River. One of the deputies contacted dispatchers around 7:05 p.m. stating two men were inside the camper and talking with authorities and that authorities were waiting on Ellison and his K-9 to arrive at the scene, the complaint says.
Deputies say during that time, the men allegedly became “non-cooperative and barricaded themselves within the camper.
According to the 911 log, shots fired from within the camper were first reported around 7:35 p.m. The log states the first report of an officer hit came in at 7:40 p.m., and that by 7:42 p.m., a second officer had been hit. The log states an officer was reportedly pinned down at 7:45 p.m.
The complaint states that Kelly was taken into custody around 8:26 p.m. The camper was then cleared for officers’ safety. Authorities say they then found Holcomb dead near the rear of the RV and allegedly in possession of a semi automatic assault-style rifle. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/man-charged-with-1st-degree-murder-in-nicholas-county-deputys-death/ | 2022-06-06T20:24:08 | 0 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/man-charged-with-1st-degree-murder-in-nicholas-county-deputys-death/ |
SCIOTO COUNTY, OH (WOWK)—A prisoner is still on the loose after five men escaped from the Star Community Justice Center on Saturday.
According to the Scioto County Sheriff’s Department, 46-year-old Thomas Charles Comberger, of Wilmington, is the only suspect not in custody. They say that he is 6’4″ and weighs 245 pounds. They also say that he has brown hair and blue eyes.
Sheriff Thoroughman says that if anyone sees Comberger, they should call 911.
The sheriff’s department says Star Community Justice Center reported that 2-3 male inmates had escaped around 8:06 p.m. on Saturday. The center said that they thought the inmates escaped by possibly climbing a fence.
Scioto deputies and Ohio State Highway Patrol searched for the inmates, and the center provided them with the escapees’ names along with a description of a woman that they saw near the fence line just before the men escaped.
Deputies say they found a woman who matched the description and detained her. They say that the woman, Allie Elizabeth Angelo, came to the center with her ex-husband Matthew Daniel Sladen to help her fiancée, Jeffrey Randle Fields, escape. Deputies found and detained Sladen at a Walmart in Waverly, and they found Fields and another escapee, Clifford Tyler Morris, on Junior Furnace Road.
Angelo was charged with aiding escape, a 4th-degree felony, and Sladen was charged for aiding escape and possession of criminal tools.
The next morning, deputies responded to a report of two suspicious people on the Norfolk and Southern property off Hayport Rd. They say that the two people ran from deputies, so the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office asked Portsmouth PD for their K-9 unit to track the suspects.
Portsmouth PD and Ohio State Highway Patrol tracked the suspects and found Aaron Brigeman along the wood line near US 52 and Walker Pence in the woods next to a mobile home on Selby Ave.
This incident will be investigated by Ohio State Highway Patrol since it happened on state property. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/one-escapee-still-on-loose-in-scioto-county/ | 2022-06-06T20:24:14 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/one-escapee-still-on-loose-in-scioto-county/ |
KANAWHA COUNTY, WV (WOWK) — Sierra McCoy, who is facing attempted murder charges, pled guilty to wanton endangerment in Kanawha County Circuit Court Monday afternoon.
Two people are facing charges related to the I-64 shooting, including Sierra McCoy, 20, and Michael Parsons, 21. McCoy and Parsons both face three counts of attempted murder and two counts of wanton endangerment.
McCoy will be sentenced on July 18 and faces up the five years behind bars.
According to a criminal complaint, On Sept. 14, 2020, authorities were dispatched to the 56 mile-marker of I-64 westbound in South Charleston where the victim told authorities the vehicle she had been in had been shot at.
It says the victim and another woman allegedly got into a physical altercation at Kenna Elementary School, and then got into a vehicle with two other people who she said witnessed the altercation and left the parking lot.
The complaint states the victim then stated she saw a vehicle following her from the school and believed the other woman was inside it.
Authorities say the victim said while approaching the Montrose Drive exit of I-64, she saw a dark Toyota sedan pull beside her and heard what she believed were “one or two gunshots” near the vehicle and said she thought something struck the vehicle.
Authorities went to the apartment complex where the other woman lived and found her exiting the apartment and walking to a vehicle with four other people, including McCoy and Parsons.
Authorities say during questioning, they received a statement from McCoy allegedly admitting to obtaining the firearm from Parsons and firing while on the interstate beside the moving vehicle the victim was in.
Parsons also allegedly admitted the suspect vehicle was his and that he had supplied McCoy with the firearm.
Authorities say they also found audio on a cellphone of a female believed to be McCoy allegedly saying she was “going to shoot at them.” The other three in the group also stated McCoy allegedly fired the gun. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/woman-involved-in-i-64-shooting-pleads-guilty-to-wanton-endangerment/ | 2022-06-06T20:24:20 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/woman-involved-in-i-64-shooting-pleads-guilty-to-wanton-endangerment/ |
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — West Virginia businesses were among those victimized in a fraud scheme involving stolen credit card numbers and drivers who, in many cases, didn’t realize they were transporting illegally-purchased items.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Charlotte Division said just this year, more than 100 businesses were victimized, including tire stores, furniture stores, lumber companies, trailer businesses and appliance stores out of West Virginia as well as Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida.
In the scheme, large orders are placed over the phone using stolen credit card numbers. The FBI said oftentimes, drivers who were hired through online job sites and paid using third-party cash applications, took the merchandise to other states for resale, unaware of the scheme.
Days later, the FBI said, the businesses learned that the sales were fraudulent.
The FBI said its investigators believe there may be additional victims. Since the investigation is ongoing, the names of specific businesses or locations that were ensnared in the scheme are not being released by the FBI at this point in time.
Businesses that may have fallen victim to this scheme can call FBI Charlotte at 704-672-6100 or file a complaint online at tips.fbi.gov. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/wv-businesses-victimized-in-fraud-scheme-fbi-warns/ | 2022-06-06T20:24:26 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/wv-businesses-victimized-in-fraud-scheme-fbi-warns/ |
LEEDS, Ala. (WIAT) — A popular splash pad in Leeds was forced to close twice over the weekend because of children defecating on the site’s slide.
According to a Facebook post from the city of Leeds, officials were forced to close the splash pad on Saturday and again on Sunday due to two separate incidents.
“Saturday, Leeds Splash Pad had an incident where a kid pooped on the slide,” the post said. “When that happens, the Splash Pad has to close for 24 hours for health reasons.”
The city said that children who wear diapers at the splash pad must wear swim diapers.
“PLEASE DO NOT bring your children to the Splash Pad that wear diapers without proper swim diapers,” the post said.
The city apologized for the sudden closure of the splash pad and said it hopes “that parents will take appropriate action so that this does not keep happening.” | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/double-doody-leeds-forced-to-close-splash-pad-twice-after-poopoo-hullabaloo/ | 2022-06-06T20:26:28 | 0 | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/double-doody-leeds-forced-to-close-splash-pad-twice-after-poopoo-hullabaloo/ |
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — A longtime deputy with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has died following a recent illness.
Deputy Chad Allinder, 50, died Sunday after a “brief and sudden illness,” the JCSO reported. He had worked for the department for 18 years.
“Chad was known for his mischievous personality and never met a stranger,” JCSO Sgt. Joni Money said. “He lived each day as if it were his last and he was incredibly kind and giving.”
JCSO tweeted a video of a radio dispatch of Allinder’s ‘End of Watch” call on Monday.
According to the department, Allinder was fond of animals and adopted many over the years. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/longtime-jefferson-county-deputy-chad-allinder-dies-at-50/ | 2022-06-06T20:26:34 | 0 | https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/longtime-jefferson-county-deputy-chad-allinder-dies-at-50/ |
SAN ANTONIO — A family's pet has died after a house fire on the city's west side, the San Antonio Fire Department said.
Fire crews arrived to the home in the 3100 block of Neptune Street around 12:15 p.m. on Monday.
Authorities saw heavy flames coming out of the home and carport, also affecting several vehicles. The fire also spread to a nearby house.
Three people inside one of the homes made it out safely. But, SAFD said at least one pet was killed.
It's unknown what caused the fire, but SAFD said it does not seem suspicious. However, they do believe it may have been one of the vehicles in the carport that led to the fire. But, that is under investigation. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/animal-killed-house-fire-west-san-antonio-texas/273-f64a2390-80d4-4f22-8035-9e063e91354a | 2022-06-06T20:46:44 | 0 | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/animal-killed-house-fire-west-san-antonio-texas/273-f64a2390-80d4-4f22-8035-9e063e91354a |

State police in Bethlehem are searching for a child who was last seen Sunday leaving a KidsPeace facility in North Whitehall Township.
Kaley Cronin, a 14-year-old boy from York County, left the youth facility around 2:30 p.m., according to Trooper Nathan Branosky.

ROANOKE, Va. — A company building a natural gas pipeline in Virginia and West Virginia is seeking a new panel of judges to hear the next round in its legal battle with environmentalists.
The 303-mile (487-kilometer) pipeline, which is mostly finished, would transport natural gas drilled from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations through West Virginia and Virginia. Legal battles have delayed completion by nearly four years and doubled the pipeline’s cost, now estimated at $6.6 billion.
The company argues that the three-judge panel that has presided over 12 challenges of government approvals for it and the now-defunct Atlantic Coast Pipeline has vacated or stayed all but two of the permits. It argues that effectively killed the Atlantic Coast project and threatening to do the same for Mountain Valley.
“The perception created by this Court’s deliberate formation of a special ‘pipeline panel’ – actually a ‘Mountain Valley panel’ – threatens public confidence in the Court’s legitimacy,” the motion states.
Three-member panels are randomly assigned for incoming cases, but rules sometimes allow for the same judges to remain with a case when it comes up again. However, the company asserts that the Fourth Circuit didn’t follow its internal operating procedures.
The rule states, in part: “Every effort is made to assign cases for oral argument to judges who have had previous involvement with the case” to preside over a motion made before oral arguments or a prior appeal in the matter. Mountain Valley contends that the current cases involve neither a pre-argument motion nor a prior appeal and asks that the court to “correct this departure from its own procedures.”
The Sierra Club and other environmental groups, which are contesting the latest permits for water crossings, urged the court not to grant the request. Mountain Valley’s calculations that it won only two of the 12 cases decided by the panel omits most of some half-dozen cases that involved eminent domain, distorting the panel’s record, a motion from the Sierra Club states. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/mountain-valley-pipeline-seeks-new-panel-for-challenges/2022/06/06/917d1176-e5d6-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html | 2022-06-06T20:58:32 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/mountain-valley-pipeline-seeks-new-panel-for-challenges/2022/06/06/917d1176-e5d6-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html |
North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler on Monday announced free, upgraded software for students, teachers and families to access online learning tools.
The ClassLink system uses a single-user identification and password on any device from a school desktop computer to a students' smartphone app or tablet, according to the state Department of Public Instruction.
Many students use multiple usernames and passwords in different classes for separate software programs, often written on paper, which poses a security risk.
“This will make it easier, faster, more convenient, and more secure for students and their families to use classroom technology,” Baesler said in a statement. “This will mean less stress and wasted time for students and their teachers in the classroom and at home.”
North Dakota school districts will have free access to the software, covered by a $90,000 grant to the state Information Technology Department derived from federal coronavirus aid.

YORK, Pa. — After a harrowing search on June 5 for missing child from York County, an AMBER Alert was issued by Pennsylvania State Police and within hours, the missing child was found.
Myles Snyder, communications director for the Pennsylvania State Police, says several major factors have to be weighed before issuing an AMBER Alert.
“Does it meet the criteria for issuing an AMBER Alert? Will getting this information out there quickly help us find the child? Is this information reliable? Is somebody making part of this up?" Synder explained.
"There are things that need to be investigated before the alert is issued.”
According to the Deptartment of Justice, AMBER Alerts have contributed to the recovery of more than 1,100 children in the U.S.
That success has led companies like Instagram and Facebook to aid in the process.
Instagram announced they will have a partnership with several organizations dedicated to finding and rescuing missing children. The alerts will include details of the missing child, including a photo and a description.
“Instagram is a platform based on the power of photos, making it a perfect fit for the AMBER Alert program,” said Michelle DeLaune, President and CEO at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
“We know that photos are a critical tool in the search for missing children and by expanding the reach to the Instagram audience, we’ll be able to share photos of missing children with so many more people.”
Utilizing social media, Pete Anders, who served with the Lancaster Police Department for 20 years, he says is a great thing.
"I think the use of social media to broadcast messages is a phenomenal asset in general for law enforcement and the community," Anders said.
"I think as far as AMBER Alerts – it’s difficult for me to see a negative because at that point, law enforcement is looking for anything to get that information out.”
A technological breakthrough, Synder notes, that will benefit the law enforcement agencies, the community & the families involved.
“The timing is absolutely critical," Synder said.
"So the faster information can get out there to people who can then spot either the child, the vehicle that may be involved, or the perpetrator, the faster police can find that child and ensure their safety.” | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/social-media-amber-alerts-missing-kids-instagram-facebook-york/521-94adef67-ad93-4b7c-9f09-919e0e2907d9 | 2022-06-06T21:07:58 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/social-media-amber-alerts-missing-kids-instagram-facebook-york/521-94adef67-ad93-4b7c-9f09-919e0e2907d9 |

The NYPD is searching for a man they say targeted a few community centers during a string of burglaries in Brooklyn.
The crime spree allegedly started on April 26 at around 9:15 p.m. when the unidentified man entered a community center on 13 Avenue through a side window, forcibly entered an office, and stole around $15,000.
The second related incident, according to the NYPD, took place that same night, at around 11:20 p.m., when the unidentified man entered a U-Haul and storage facility at New Utrecht Avenue by breaking a window. Although he searched around the location, he fled without stealing anything.
Weeks later, on May 13, at around 3:40 a.m., the unidentified man entered the same community center as the first incident by going through a side window and stole laptops as well as cash with a value of $6,000 and $5,000, respectively.
The fourth related incident took place on May 13 at 5:13 a.m. at a realty office on 70 Street when the unidentified man entered the location through a window and removed checks worth $4,300 as well as $6,875 in cash.
Police describe the man they are searching for as being about 5'8" tall and 150 pounds.
Police shared surveillance images of the individual taken shortly before the second incident.

DALLAS (KDAF) — What would you do if you won $25,000? Now, let’s preface this by omitting the cliche “pay off debt” type of answer and have a little fun with it. Example: Rent out a movie theater and host a MarioKart tournament on a Friday night in your hometown.
Well, if you recently bought a Texas Lottery ticket just south of Dallas-Fort Worth, that might be a reality for you. The lottery says a $25,000 winning Cash Five ticket was sold in Midlothian from Saturday’s drawing.
The ticket matched all five of the winning numbers from the June 4 drawing to net the big win. It was sold at a Kroger on 2200 FM 663 in Midlothian. In case you were wondering it was a Quick Pick ticket.
There were also 66 secondary prize winners who matched four of the five winning numbers to win $350 each. | https://cw33.com/news/local/25000-winning-texas-lottery-ticket-sold-just-south-of-dfw/ | 2022-06-06T21:19:31 | 1 | https://cw33.com/news/local/25000-winning-texas-lottery-ticket-sold-just-south-of-dfw/ |
DALLAS (KDAF) — Chicken and waffles is an iconic breakfast food. There’s something about the combination of the sweet flavors of the syrup and waffles that goes so well with the savory fried chicken.
If you are on the fence about the flavor pairings, do not fret. It is a major game-changer. And if you are trying it for the first time here is a suggestion.
Love Food released a report looking at the best place to get chicken and waffles in each state and they say Maple Leaf Diner in Dallas serves the best in Texas.
What may come as a surprise to many Dallasites, this American dish seems to have been perfected by a restaurant specializing in Canadian cuisine.
According to their website, owner Michael Delaurier is a native of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He opened Maple Leaf Diner in 2015 after not being able to find food in his wife’s hometown of Dallas that felt authentic to the food he grew up with.
And it looks like Dallas wasn’t the only one with an appetite for Canadian food, with more than 3,300 Google reviews the restaurant has a 4.7/5 rating. On Yelp, with more than 2,800 reviews, it sits at 4.5/5.
Here’s what Love Food had to say about it:
A Canadian diner in the heart of Texas, Maple Leaf is a perfect match for the Lone Star State, with its oversized plates of incredibly delicious food. Thankfully breakfast here is served all day, so you’re never too far away from the diner’s famous chicken, bacon and waffles. The fried chicken breast is served with crispy bacon on Belgian waffles with a generous helping of strawberries, whipped cream and cream puffs, and customers absolutely adore it.

Members of the St. Joseph Catholic Academy's Class of 2022 toss their mortarboards in the air upon graduating Sunday. The high school held it's commencement ceremony Sunday afternoon.
Daniel Gaitan
Student Sarah Ryan read the names of the graduates at St. Joseph Catholic Academy's Class of 2022 graduation ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
The members of St. Joseph Catholic Academy's graduating Class of 2022 earned millions of dollars in scholarships to colleges and universities.
The school at 2401 69th St., held it's commencement ceremony Sunday afternoon. The Class of 2022 had 58 graduating students. A graduation mass was held before the commencement ceremony, which drew hundreds of the friends and families to the school auditorium.
"The SJCA graduate is a lifelong learner with a work ethic, intellectual integrity and moral compass to approach adulthood fully equipped for an ever -hanging world," said Principal Bridget Bartholomew.
Bartholomew said the Class of 2022 had a 100% college acceptance rate and earned more than $4 million in scholarships.
"We are confident these students will make a positive mark as they go out in the world," Bartholomew said. "This year and the past few years certainly have been full of challenges, yet the Class of 2022 has risen to the occasion.
"I want to commend you for successfully navigating your senior year. I know that it was not necessarily exactly what you had anticipated. I also know that the lessons you learned during this time and during your high school years: perseverance, dedication, appreciation for the little things. All of that will stay with you, strengthen you and serve you well in college and beyond," Bartholomew said.
The Rev. Todd Belardi offered a blessing for the graduates before sending them out into the world.
"Heavenly Father, send your Holy Spirit upon these graduates of St. Joseph Catholic Academy," Belardi prayed. "Fill them with your wisdom and blessings. Grant that they may be witnesses of your Gospel to the world through how they love all people. May they be true disciples of the Lord Jesus that allows them to pursue holiness in life and become they saints they are destined to be. May they find that true happiness always comes from serving others and living according to the truth of the commandments."
Andrew Alia, a salutatorian, said it feels "crazy, surreal" to graduate.
"I don't think it's hit me, yet, that it's all done," he said. "It went by so fast."
Sarah Ryan, a salutatorian and mistress of ceremonies, said the Class of 2022 is incredibly close because many of them have been friends since grade school.
"I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world," she said. "I loved the tight knit community we had at St. Joe's. I've been with my friends since kindergarten and it's been awesome."
Martina Harrington, a salutatorian, said "she's excited for the new things coming but will definitely miss all my friends."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Almost 14 years after a Lee County girl was severely injured when she was hit by a truck, the U.S. Supreme Court said Monday that Florida’s Medicaid program will recover a portion of the money it paid for her initial care.
The crash occurred in November 2008 when 13-year-old Gianinna Gallardo was hit by a truck after getting off a Lee County school bus.
Florida’s Medicaid program paid $862,688 to cover Gallardo’s initial medical bills. The crash left Gallardo in a “persistent vegetative state,” according to the Supreme Court.
Gallardo’s parents filed a lawsuit against the truck’s owner, driver and the Lee County School Board. An $800,000 settlement was reached with $35,367 of it going towards past medical expenses. | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/06/06/us-supreme-court-rules-in-favor-of-lee-county-girl-who-was-hit-by-truck-in-2008/ | 2022-06-06T21:23:43 | 1 | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/06/06/us-supreme-court-rules-in-favor-of-lee-county-girl-who-was-hit-by-truck-in-2008/ |
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – The former Florida leader of the Proud Boys, alongside other leaders of the far-right group, is charged with a seditious conspiracy charge in the Capitol Riot as of Monday, court documents show.
A federal jury indicted Joseph Biggs, of Ormond Beach, and four other Proud Boys members with seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties, two of the biggest charges to come out of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol Riot investigation, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

According to new court documents, federal prosecutors said Biggs and Tarrio called for “war” and planned to interrupt President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory during the coordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol.
All five men were previously charged with different conspiracy counts, but the latest riot-related indictments are among the most serious filed so far.

Castillo
MCLEAN COUNTY JAIL
Prosecutors said a man reported to police that he was seated in his parked car Saturday at a restaurant in the 1400 block of South Main Street in Bloomington when Castillo climbed onto his vehicle and sat on the hood and roof before he opened the driver’s door and repeatedly punched the man.
Castillo also stole the victim’s shoe, according to a probable cause statement.
After resisting arrest with Bloomington police, Castillo repeatedly struck his head into a police vehicle, denting the car, prosecutors said.
He was jailed in lieu of posting $5,035 and he was ordered to have no contact with the victim.
An arraignment is scheduled for July 1.

AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin Police Department is searching for a female victim and a man accused of aggravated assault after an incident in southeast Austin on Saturday, May 28.
Police said APD officers responded to an apartment complex in the 12200 block of Heatherly Drive around 2 p.m. and located two victims.
The two victims told police they were in the apartment complex office when an unidentified woman ran into the office and begged them to lock the door. The woman was bleeding from the head and said a man she knew was coming after her.
A man then approached the door and began pounding on it and making threats, police said. He had a gun and began pointing it at all three victims and threatened to kill them.
The woman reportedly said she should go with him or he might kill all of them. She unlocked the door and left with the suspect.
The other victims told police the suspect drove away in a silver SUV. Detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in locating the man and the woman victim.
She is described as a white woman, 5 feet, 6 inches tall to 5 feet, 8 inches tall with blondish brown hair. She was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt, black leggings and white shoes.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic man with black hair dyed brown, shaved on the sides and pulled back into a bun. He has tattoos on both arms. He was last seen wearing a black tank top and black jeans.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477 (TIPS). You may remain anonymous.

TORONTO (AP) — Jacob Hoggard, the frontman for the Canadian band Hedley, was convicted Sunday of sexual assault causing bodily harm to an Ottawa woman but acquitted of the same charge involving a teenage fan.
Hoggard, 37, was also found not guilty of sexual interference, a charge alleging the sexual touching of someone under 16, in an incident involving the same teen fan when she was 15.
The singer hugged his wife in the courtroom after the jury’s verdict was read.
Prosecutors alleged Hoggard groped the teen after a Hedley show in Toronto in April 2016, and then raped her in a Toronto-area hotel room later that year after she turned 16. They alleged he raped the Ottawa woman in a Toronto hotel in November 2016.
Both complainants testified they were left bleeding and bruised. They each said that among other things, Hoggard slapped them, spit in their mouths and called them derogatory names, and that he restricted their breathing at one point.
During the roughly month-long trial, Hoggard testified his memory of the encounters wasn’t clear, but he said that he had consensual, “passionate” sex with the complainants and that he didn’t touch the teen sexually until after she turned 16.
“I knew when she turned 16,” Hoggard testified, adding he made sure “to be responsible and not break the law. ”
He denied choking or restricting the complainants’ breathing, but said some of the other things they described were among his sexual preferences and therefore could have happened.
The jury began deliberating Tuesday and twice indicated it was deadlocked on “some” counts. Each time, jurors were asked to keep trying. They went on to replay the bulk of the testimony given by the two complainants and Hoggard and also asked several questions on legal issues, including the definition of consent.
Hoggard’s band, Hedley, rose to fame after he came in third on the reality show “Canadian Idol” in 2004. | https://www.cbs42.com/local/canadian-singer-jacob-hoggard-convicted-of-sexual-assault/ | 2022-06-06T21:53:13 | 1 | https://www.cbs42.com/local/canadian-singer-jacob-hoggard-convicted-of-sexual-assault/ |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Another sign America’s entertainment landscape is returning to normal: President Joe Biden will make his first in-person appearance on a late-night talk show since taking office.
Biden will be a guest Wednesday night on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” the White House said.
Kimmel tweeted Sunday: “Our very elected President @JoeBiden visits @JimmyKimmelLive Wednesday night. No malarkey.”
Biden travels Wednesday to Los Angeles to host the Ninth Summit of the Americas, and Kimmel’s show tapes in Hollywood.
In December 2021 Biden appeared virtually on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon, his first late-night appearance while in office.
Government leaders from across the hemisphere will gather to discuss economic prosperity, climate change, the migration crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, the White House said. Biden will give the summit’s opening address on Thursday. | https://www.cbs42.com/local/biden-to-appear-on-jimmy-kimmel-live-during-western-trip/ | 2022-06-06T21:54:49 | 0 | https://www.cbs42.com/local/biden-to-appear-on-jimmy-kimmel-live-during-western-trip/ |

EDITOR'S NOTE (2 p.m., June 6, 2022): New details and developments in the mass shooting on South Street that left three dead and 11 others wounded can be found in this story.
Three people were killed and at least 11 others were wounded when gunmen opened fire on a crowded stretch of South Street in Philadelphia late Saturday night.
Philadelphia Police Department Commissioner Danielle Outlaw identified the deceased victims as 34-year-old Gregory Jackson of Philadelphia, 27-year-old Alexis Quinn of Philadelphia, and 22-year-old Kristopher Minners of Elkins Park.
The American Federation of Teachers said Minners was a resident advisor for 6th and 2nd grade boys at Girard College.
Minners had been celebrating his birthday with family and friends on South Street prior to the shooting, according to Girard College's Interim President James Turner.
"Our hearts are broken for Kristopher and his family, and our thoughts are with everyone who was impacted by this appalling act of violence," Turner wrote in a statement. "I visited with Kris’ parents this morning and the College will continue to offer them every support."
Tracy Medley, an employee at Millennium Skate World in Camden, told NBC10 Gregory Jackson was a longtime customer.

"He would be very happy when he would walk in the door," Medley said. "Just light up and be so excited to be here and then just walk around, shake hands, hugs with everybody. He had a lot of friends here. A lot of his family would come here and skate as well."
The 11 shooting victims who survived were a 17-year-old boy; two 18-year-old men; two 20-year-old men; three men aged 23, 43 and 69; two 17-year-old girls; and a 19-year-old woman. Their medical conditions ranged from stable to critical, Outlaw said.
An assistant district attorney, Joanne Pescatore, said on Monday that Jackson, one of the three people killed, was involved in the initial fight that led to bullets flying chaotically on South Street.
Pescatore also said an 18-year-old man shot by police allegedly was a secondary actor to the initial brawl involving Jackson and another gunshot victim, Micah Townes. It is unclear if that 18-year-old, identified as Quran Garner, is among those 11 people listed by police as wounded in the shooting.
Townes has not been charged. Both he and Jackson had licenses to carry firearms, Pescatore said. She did not provide any more details about Townes, Jackson or Garner.
A 49-year-old old woman also suffered injuries after being struck by shattered glass, police said.
One of the gunshot survivors was 69-year-old Rusty Crowell. The South Philly resident told NBC10 he was at the bar Dobbs on South to see a friend perform when he stepped outside shortly before midnight and heard the gunshots.
"I thought everybody's having a good time. It's fireworks," Crowell said. "But then I looked down at my leg and there was blood just gushing down the back of my leg."
Crowell told NBC10 he was lucky to be alive and grateful for the support he's received from his community.
Well we are the city of Brotherly Love and that's what I see," Crowell said. "And it gets you. They're good people, Philadelphia."

“We are very pleased that NITCO can play an integral role in partnering with Hoosier Net and providing access to critical fiber infrastructure," NITCO President Tom Long said. "Indiana is the Crossroads of America and that includes thousands of miles of fiber infrastructure that is now available to carriers and ISP’s to bring broadband access to Hoosiers.”

"Hoosier Net and current owner-member fiber systems span thousands of miles across Indiana and are well-positioned to enable the expansion and extension of Indiana middle-mile infrastructure to reduce the cost of connecting unserved and underserved areas," said John Greene, chairman of Hoosier Net, LLC and CEO of New Lisbon Telephone Co.
Other founders include Central Indiana Communications, Citizens Telephone Corp., Craigville Telephone Company, RTC Communications, Geetingsville Telephone Company, Independents Fiber Network, Monon Cooperative Telephone Company, Mulberry Cooperative Telephone Company, New Lisbon Broadband and Communications, NP Tech, Perry Spencer Rural Telephone Cooperative, Inc., the Pulaski-White Rural Telephone Cooperative, Inc., Rochester Telephone Company Inc., SEI Communications, Fiberhawk and The Sweetser Rural Telephone Company.

PetSmart plans to open a big-box store in Valparaiso soon.
The national pet retailer is taking over the former Pier One and AT&T Store spaces next to Barnes & Noble in the Valparaiso Marketplace shopping center. It will combine both vacant storefronts into a bigger, 12,000-square-foot space.
Petsmart, a chain that has locations in Schererville, Hobart and Michigan City, is renovating the retail space at 150 Silhavey Road in Valpo. It's building a loading dock, adding drainage and remodeling the facade, including by switching out the window frames, according to plans filed with the city of Valparaiso.
Phoenix, Arizona-based PetSmart operates more than 1,600 stores across North America. Founded in 1986, it sells pet supplies, dog and cat food, treats, pet accessories and small pets like birds, hamsters and rabbits. It also offers a variety of pet services like adoption, pet boarding, grooming, training classes, dog daycare and third-party pet hospitals at some locations.
David Holzem with Wispo Investors told the Valparaiso Site Review Committee the big-box store in Valparaiso will not have any veterinarians on staff.
The main competitor of Petco, PetSmart carries scores of leading brands for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, gerbils and other pets. It stocks everything from collars, crates and flea and tick treatments to dental treats, rawhides, bowls and beds.
It will be located in the outdoor Valparaiso Marketplace shopping mall at Ind. 49 and LaPorte Avenue along with many other big-box retailers, including Target, Home Depot, Kohl's as well as smaller retailers like Shoe Carnival, Hair Cuttery, Maurice's and Pet Supplies Plus.
Valparaiso Marketplace lies next to the outdoor Valparaiso Walk shopping mall that's home to Menard's, Best Buy, Marshalls, Michael's and Bed, Bath & Beyond and across the highway from the Porters Vale Shopping Center.

BIG STONE GAP, Va. (WJHL) — A new miniature golf course has opened in Big Stone Gap thanks in part to a grant from the Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority (VCEDA).
According to the VCEDA, a $10,000 grant was recently approved for Big Stone Gap Golf, which opened last month. It features 18 miniature golf holes, games like cornholes and ladder ball, a book nook for kids, and a picnic area. The course also has its own mascot, “Golly Gopher.”
The business plans to offer a modular, portable travel set of golf holes for rent in the future, according to the VCEDA.
“Big Stone’s Gap Golf, Miniature Golf Course, LLC presented a strong business plan to provide an entertainment option not now available in Big Stone Gap that would appeal to visitors and locals alike, while at the same time creating local jobs,” Jonathan Belcher, VCEDA executive director/general counsel, said in a release. “The business projects three full-time jobs and five part-time jobs within five years.”
Each of the 18 golf holes has a marker telling a piece of town history.
“We wanted to create a kind of living history of the town as we created the golf holes on the course,” said Debra Ramsey, who co-owns Gap Golf with her husband Philip Ramsey.
The Ramseys built the course and clubhouse with help from friends and family members.
It costs $7 per person to play.
Big Stone Gap Golf is located at 706 Cherokee Avenue West. More information can be found on the business’s website or Facebook page. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/new-big-stone-gap-mini-golf-course-gets-vceda-grant/ | 2022-06-06T22:13:52 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/new-big-stone-gap-mini-golf-course-gets-vceda-grant/ |
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Jakeith Hairston stood before a large painting in his hometown Saturday, reflecting on art, culture and a Johnson City that had just shown tremendous interest in a show comprised of work by people of color.
The night before, more than 200 people had streamed through the new Fischman Gallery across from King Commons Park on Commerce Street for the opening of “Art is Our Voice,” a Juneteenth Art Show engineered by UMOJA and sponsored by the Tennessee Arts Commission.
A 2002 Science Hill High School graduate, the self-taught Hairston has been away from Johnson City for years, including 14 of them in New York. The former star Science Hill and college athlete was in front of his “Something About Nature,” a complex work that is one of five Hairston works up at the gallery through June 26.
Hairston, who recently moved to Greensboro, N.C., said it was “an instant yes” when he learned UMOJA’s Angelitti Bradley and Nancy Fischman, who runs the gallery, were planning a Juneteenth-themed show for the gallery’s first major exhibit.
“This was my priority, just to be able to come back and show and share and be a part of my community again,” Hairston told News Channel 11 as a small group of people browsed the show featuring more than a dozen artists.
“That’s what you leave to come back for. You leave to grow and come back and share and learn and pass it on.”
For Hairston, part of that joy included reconnecting with school friends like Tramel Fain and Jason Flack as well as the older Lynn Bachman, whom he called a “hero to a budding creator.” All of them also have work in the show.
“Javan Collie as well,” Hairston said. “These are my good friends that I grew up with. It’s amazing to see that we all had our own life experiences but we’re able to come back in an expressive fashion, a creative fashion.”
Hairston, who said his artistic journey has been one of “going off feel and being a vessel,” said his art is very personal.
“I call my exhibition here a collection of mile markers,” he said. “For me, these are kind of snapshots of different growth periods in my life — just a lot of energy right there in those colors and lines and expressions.”
Hairston said he loves Fischman’s vision of sharing the community’s artists through the gallery’s shows and exhibits. And he said the UMOJA community, whose leaders he grew up around, is “just showing what they’ve already known has existed” in its celebration of Black artists.
“We’ve always been creatives, we’ve always been smart, intelligent, so it’s just putting it out for others to see and love as well,” he said.
“This (art) is part of everyday life. This is regular, this is breathing, so for the fact of UMOJA just tapping into a market where they can showcase it, I think that’s amazing.”
Asked about whether art could play a role in helping bridge some of the divides that currently plague society and culture, Hairston said art was about “feeling something.”
“I think art can be healing. It should be healing, I think. It’s all from a real place, it’s from us — thoughts become things. But I think it’s all necessary, it can be used as tools and I think that we should utilize these tools of expression to communicate, to relate.”
The Fischman Gallery, located at 133 Commerce Street, is normally open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturdays. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/umoja-new-art-gallery-collaborate-for-juneteenth-show-through-june-26/ | 2022-06-06T22:13:58 | 0 | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/umoja-new-art-gallery-collaborate-for-juneteenth-show-through-june-26/ |

BOISE, Idaho — This article originally appeared in the Idaho Press.
The Idaho woman who survived one of the state’s most infamous killing sprees will be featured in an upcoming television special.
The sixth season of “People Magazine Investigates” will debut Monday, June 6 and feature Shasta Groene, whose mother, stepfather and two brothers were killed in 2005 in North Idaho and Montana.
Groene, 25, was 8 years old when the murders took place. After her mother, stepfather and one of her brothers were killed, she and another brother, Dylan, were kidnapped and tortured before Dylan was killed in front of her. Groene endured weeks of captivity and sexual assault before she was spotted with the killer, Joseph Edward Duncan, at a restaurant in Coeur d’Alene and rescued.
Duncan died of cancer last year while on death row.
Groene now resides in the “Boise area” with her husband, Michael, and four children, according to People. A fifth child is due in August.
The TV special will chronicle Groene’s story and she “hopes it will empower other victims of violence and serve as her own catharsis.”
“You’re not your past,” Groene told People. “Every day is a new chapter.”
The two-hour special airs at 7 p.m. Mountain Time on Investigation Discovery and will stream on discovery+.

The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs today announced 17 projects and individuals in 14 Iowa communities received the state’s highest honors for historic preservation during the 2022 Preserve Iowa Summit held last week in Mason City.
Mason City provided the perfect backdrop for this year’s conference, which highlighted numerous architecturally significant properties in and around the community, including Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Park Inn Hotel, the 1939 Egloff House and the Rock Glen/Rock Crest Historic District.
The community’s architectural history is so strong, Conde Naste Traveler listed it as one of the world’s 20 best cities for architecture lovers, along with Miami, Paris and Dubai. The department has also designated Mason City as an Iowa Great Place, and its downtown area as a Cultural & Entertainment District.

“Mason City has done a fantastic job of incorporating its architecture, history, art and culture into its creative placemaking,” Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs Director Chris Kramer said. “Those efforts serve residents, draw tourists from around the world, and build a foundation for future generations to enjoy. It’s easy to see why its leaders and residents have so much pride in their community.”
The summit, presented annually by the department’s State Historic Preservation Office, is the state of Iowa’s premier conference for professionals and volunteers involved in historic preservation.
During the awards ceremony on Thursday, the State Historical Society of Iowa’s Board of Trustees awarded four projects – in Bettendorf, Council Bluffs, Davenport and Mason City – with a Preservation Project of Merit Award, which recognizes projects that exemplify the best practices of historic preservation, meet federal standards, and make use of state tax credits for historic preservation.
The board also presented Leah Rogers of Mount Vernon with the Petersen-Harlan Lifetime Achievement Award for her 40-year career in historic preservation, scholarly research and educational outreach programs.
“We are delighted to honor our award recipients for their accomplishments in preserving Iowa’s historic properties,” State Historical Society of Iowa Administrator Susan Kloewer said. “Their efforts ensure that these properties will continue to be highly valued community assets now and into the future.”
In addition, the nonprofit group Preservation Iowa presented 12 awards for “Preservation at its Best” in Bloomfield, Centerville, Des Moines, Dubuque, Keosauqua, Mt. Pleasant, Newton, Red Oak and Sioux City. The annual awards honor properties and educational efforts that meet the highest standards of preservation practices.
“Preservation Iowa is thrilled to honor the people and projects that truly demonstrate preservation’s power to change the future,” Preservation Iowa board president Bruce Perry said. “These awards honor thousands of volunteer hours and more than $120 million of investment in Iowa’s economy. Without the combination of private funding, historic tax credits, grant awards, and public dollars, projects like these would be impossible.”
Among the award recipients was Mason City's Egloff House, given the Judith A. McClure Award. This award recognizes outstanding preservation of a residential property using State Historic Preservation and Cultural & Entertainment District Tax Credit Program incentives.
Built in 1938-39, the Egloff House incorporates parts of three contemporary styles from the period: Art Moderne, Art Deco, and International styles that emerged following World War I. The house contains several classic elements of Streamline International architecture and is one of the style’s few remaining examples in the United States. In 2008, after a flood damaged the house, volunteers successfully moved it to its current location between the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Historic Park Inn and the Rock Crest/Rock Glen Historic District.
The 2022 Preserve Iowa Summit is coordinated by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs’ State Historic Preservation Office, the city of Mason City and the Mason City Historic Preservation Commission. It’s funded in part by the National Park Service, a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior.

As Forest City prepares for the influx of visitors for Country Thunder Iowa Friday through Sunday, UScellular is equipped to accommodate the spike in demand for wireless access around the area.
Since the majority of attendees will rely on their smartphones to stay connected with family and friends, share photos and post social media updates, UScellular has brought in a Cell on Light Truck, also referred to as a COLT, to increase wireless capacity during Country Thunder Iowa.
“We want to help ensure that everyone who comes to enjoy Country Thunder Iowa can use their smartphone like they want to,” said Steve Zimmer, UScellular’s senior manager system performance. “The COLT will help provide a better wireless network experience for all attendees at Country Thunder Iowa.”
The COLT provides added network capacity for the increased data usage and to support the large volume of additional phone calls and texts from concert attendees. This temporary site also will increase UScellular’s network capacity in Forest City.

While a COLT is helpful for large events such as this, it can also be deployed to establish instant communication for responders to natural disasters and emergency situations when landline communications are interrupted.
UScellular plans to deploy the COLT for 12 events throughout this spring, summer and fall in Iowa. A COLT also will be deployed for the ABATE of Iowa Freedom Rally in Algona, IndyCar race weekend at Iowa Speedway in Newton, RAGBRAI, IGHSAU Softball State Tournament in Fort Dodge and Guthrie’s River Ruckus.

The Virginia Department of Transportation is starting to repair and replace portions of the bridge on North Fifth Street this month.
About 7,800 vehicles use the Fifth Street corridor every day, the transportation department says.
Commuters can expect delays as one of Richmond's main gateways headed westbound off Interstate 64 is reduced to one lane during construction.
Long-term shoulder closures will also occur overnight on Interstate 95 as crews replace concrete, streel beams and parapets underneath the bridge.
The work on Fifth Street is a continuation of VDOT's $49 million, multi-phased project to rehabilitate five bridges over I-95 in Richmond.
Work has started on the First Street and Fourth Street bridges, with additional plans set for Seventh Street and East Broad Street. The estimated time of completion for all five bridges is sometime in fall 2024. | https://richmond.com/news/local/expect-traffic-delays-as-5th-street-bridge-repairs-begin-heres-where/article_c3b6b66f-4dda-5737-bc5d-aba7d47c8566.html | 2022-06-06T22:21:31 | 0 | https://richmond.com/news/local/expect-traffic-delays-as-5th-street-bridge-repairs-begin-heres-where/article_c3b6b66f-4dda-5737-bc5d-aba7d47c8566.html |
Gov. Mike DeWine on Monday said Ohio has been given a federal waiver that will give families enrolled in the state’s WIC program more options for baby formula.
A shortage of baby formula in the United States, created largely by the stopped production at a Michigan plant, has caused big problems for mothers, especially women socioeconomically disadvantaged.
Ohio’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, better known as WIC, is a federally funded program that provides free baby formula and food to over 164,000 children and women. The waivers are an attempt to address the strict guidelines of the program that say what brand and how much of infant formula a mother can purchase at a time.
“While it is good news that the formula factory that caused the shortage is operating again, it will take weeks for formula to restock, in the meantime we will continue our work to ease the burden on families,” DeWine said. “There are few things scarier than the thought of not being able to provide food for your children. I feel for the many families impacted by the formula shortage. I am pleased that the USDA has granted our additional waiver requests to allow eight more WIC-approved products for families enrolled in the program.”
The Ohio Department of Health applied for waivers back in February.
Abbott Nutrition restarted infant formula production at its Michigan facility Saturday after the company reached an agreement with the FDA last month. The factory, the largest in the U.S., had been closed since February due to contamination. The company said Saturday that it will take about three weeks to get its first shipment out to consumers, with its initial batch of EleCare products shipping around June 20.
Abbott is prioritizing specialty and metabolic formulas, with plans to restart production of Similac and other formulas as soon as possible, the company said in a statement.
In May, mothers in the region said they have been scrambling for months to find baby formula.
Kimbia Ingram, a Springfield mother of 4-month-old twins, hunts for a can of formula for her babies every day. If she can’t drop off Alonni and Aleyea with a babysitter, she loads up their stroller, diaper bag and other necessities. She often has to check five stores in town, and sometimes travels to Urbana or even parts of the broader Dayton area. She said she’s lucky if she finds even one can on a shelf during her search.
“They’re hungry, they’re crying,” she said. “And I have nothing to feed them, and I can’t let my babies go hungry. It’s frustrating.”
Madilynn Harrison of Kettering found formula by joining Facebook groups and finding other moms with extra formula for her son. Her son, who is two months old, was breastfed until he began having reflux issues, and Harrison switched to hypoallergenic formula Nutramigen.
“Since we have been breastfeeding, we had not even thought about formula until we had no other option,” she said. “After his appointment, I rushed around for hours and felt defeated when I couldn’t find anything. His pediatrician didn’t even have a sample can for us.”
Harrison looked at over 20 stores within an hour drive of her home in Kettering, and only found one can of off-brand hypoallergenic, which she says might last four days.
“Every morning before work, I check stores to see if it has been restocked, only to find out it has been on backorder for months now. They order it and it never shows up on the truck. It’s unavailable on Amazon, and on the Enfamil website,” she said. “The uncertainty of if my baby will have food is so scary.”
The state is also working with the USDA to temporarily remove burdensome requirements for WIC families who use prescription formula. Currently, a WIC participant can only purchase the specific brand prescribed by the child’s healthcare provider. The waiver allows families enrolled in WIC to purchase store-brand equivalents of certain formulas without returning to their doctor for a new prescription.
“There’s nothing more aggravating or more scary for a family to need food for their children and not being able to do that,” the governor said at a press conference Monday in Cincinnati.
The Ohio Department of Health is also working with Mead Johnson to allow Ohio families to purchase alternate, non-contracted brands. Mead Johnson is contracted with the Health Department to provide formula for the WIC program. The Department of Health has urged formula manufacturers, the USDA, and U.S. Department of Health to “reduce the barriers” to formula access, DeWine said, adding that WIC program staff across the state have been working with healthcare providers and families enrolled in WIC to find alternative formulas.
During the press conference, Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff advised against diluting formula to make it last longer, or making formula from scratch, for safety reasons.
“It’s a very bad idea,” he said.
WIC participants are encouraged to reach out to their local WIC office for information about their benefits and what formula is available.
Additional formulas approved
The USDA approved Ohio’s WIC program for eight additional Mead Johnson products that will be covered beginning June 13, including:
- Enfamil Infant Powder 29.4oz
- Enfamil NeuroPro Infant Powder 28.3oz
- Enfamil NeuroPro Infant Powder Box 31.4 oz
- Enfamil Gentlease Powder 27.7oz
- Enfamil NeuroPro Gentlease Powder 27.4 oz
- Enfamil NeuroPro Gentlease Powder Box 30.4 oz
- Enfamil AR Powder Box 30.4 oz
- Enfamil Prosobee Powder 20.9oz

The downtown Berkeley CVS pharmacy is slated to close June 15, Berkeleyside reported after spotting a sign posted on the store.
Back in late 2021, the pharmacy chain announced it was planning to shut down 900 stores across the country, including at least six in San Francisco that closed in January. The wave of closures is due to “too many overlapping locations” and an unsatisfactory in-person shopping experience with "bad lighting, depressing interiors, messy merchandising, and a weak assortment of products," reported CNN.
"We’ve made the difficult decision to close our pharmacy at 2300 Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley on Wednesday, June 15, 2022," read a statement provided to SFGATE from CVS spokesperson Monica Prinzing. "... Maintaining access to pharmacy services in underserved communities is an important factor we consider when making store closure decisions. Other factors include local market dynamics, population shifts, a community’s store density, and ensuring there are other geographic access points to meet the needs of the community, including COVID-19 testing and vaccinations."
CVS still has four remaining locations in Berkeley. All prescriptions at the 2300 Shattuck Ave. location will be transferred to the 2655 Telegraph Ave. location, about 0.9 mile or a 20-minute walk away. Store employees at the closing Berkeley location are also being offered jobs at other CVS stores, according to Prinzing's statement.
CVS is not the only pharmacy to downsize recently. Walgreens shuttered two downtown San Francisco locations in February, adding to a string of five closures in November 2021. | https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Downtown-Berkeley-CVS-to-close-17222822.php | 2022-06-06T22:34:25 | 0 | https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Downtown-Berkeley-CVS-to-close-17222822.php |
The Portland Tribune is a KOIN 6 News media partner.
PORTLAND, Ore. (PORTLAND TRIBUNE) — Sandy High School administrators say an incident that students have labeled an issue of LGBTQ+ discrimination is actually a misunderstanding of the campus dress code.
The controversy began on Friday morning, June 3, when two students arrived at school wearing flags — one in a Pride flag and one in a Trump flag.
Because “students are not allowed to wear (actual) flags,” both were asked to remove them, according to Oregon Trail School District communications director Julia Monteith.
Monteith said the student wearing a Trump flag removed it when asked and went back to class. However, Zayn, the student wearing a Pride flag refused to remove theirs and ended up in the office.
Zayn, a sophomore who uses he/they pronouns, told the Sandy Post that school administrators asked them “to remove the flag because it was a ‘tripping hazard.’ And I understand why.”
Because Zayn is a minor, the Sandy Post is not using their last name.
However, Zayn added: “Whenever I walk with my flag as a cape, I always carry it on the side to prevent tripping. A couple times I haven’t carried It and that’s on me, but no one tripped because of it.”
Monteith said Zayn was sent to the office after refusing to comply with dress code.
This action was taken because he was “wearing a flag, not because it was a Pride flag,” Monteith said. “We support kids if they want to show their pride, but they are not allowed to wear flags.”
Principal Sarah Dorn said when Zayn refused to remove the Pride flag, “I offered to allow the student to complete classwork in the office, but the student refused.”
“I refused to complete classwork online because I just wanted to go back to class,” Zayn said. “I don’t want to have to be isolated like a rabid animal because I am proud of who I am. I told her I wanted to go back to class, and she said I couldn’t until I took off my pride flag. So, I just refused. Then she sent me home.”
Classmates who reached out to the Students Advocating For Equality (SAFE) group earlier today claimed they’d received pre-approval to wear the Pride flag to school and “the school had been okay with it for weeks.”
“If a student was given prior approval from a staff member, that was given by mistake,” Dorn said.
“I feel that you shouldn’t be able to wear flags that contain political, racial, or just discriminative comments,” Zayn said. “Pride flags are just colors. I feel if we’re (going to) ban colorful flags we should just skip ahead and ban color. It’s ridiculous. I’m trying to make a stand for all those people who suffered due to LGBTQ+ discrimination.”
Zayn and members of SAFE have put a call out asking for their affirming peers to wear Pride colors and clothing on Wednesday, June 8, to show support for LGBTQ+ students and fight against homophobia in the school.
After Zayn was sent to the office Friday afternoon, photos of a fellow student wearing a Trump flag while sitting at a classroom desk began to circulate on Instagram. Many alleged in the comments that the student had been asked to remove the flag but was not punished after they later put it back on.
Monteith said Dorn was investigating this matter to find out if this was the same student previously warned about how their attire violated the dress code.
“If a student who was spoken to about wearing a flag put it back on later, they would receive a consequence,” Dorn said. “If a student wears a flag in the future, we will hold on to the flag until it can be picked up by a parent/guardian.”
In an email to school administrators, SAFE managers said: “The events of this morning were deeply upsetting for many students. Pride Month is an extremely important time for students who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, as it is a time for us to celebrate who we are, and how much we have accomplished. All week students have worn items celebrating their pride, but today, members of our community were mocked and harassed by students demonstrating bigoted behavior. Instead of protecting and defending the LGBTQ+ students of Sandy High, it seems our school has yet again chosen the side of the oppressor. This is unacceptable.”
SAFE was formed by students in 2020 as an advocacy group for marginalized students. In the past, the group has led a petition effort to ban Confederate flags from school campus and hosted Pride and anti-racism events.
Monteith said the district has not received any reports of mocking from students, though “it’s not uncommon for a student who feels they’re being mocked to post about it on social media, but not actually report it (to the school).”
Zayn told the Sandy Post that “I’ve experienced a lot of slurs from people for wearing Pride, people have called me a f****t, a disgrace. … A group of people walked past me in the halls and commented ‘f***ing disgusting.'”
Of his experience at Sandy High, Zayn said: “It’s been a lot of hate. I have a non-binary flag that I like to wear and when some people see it, they will yell: ‘Go, Lakers’ to try and insult me.”
Despite ongoing mocking from his peers, Zayn explained that he has only reported incidents of hurtful comments. “Here and there I will vaguely speak about the events. But I’ve never done a full report. I’m nervous to and just feel like nothing will come of it,” he said.
Zayn said that as a middle schooler, he reported an incident about a classmate and suffered because of it.
“The school did something about it but all the friends of the person I reported screamed at me and harassed me,” he said. “Ever since it’s been difficult to report things.”
While the district maintains that students are protected from discrimination within its schools, students say there is still work to be done in terms of how administrators and staff handle incidents among peers involving marginalized students.
“The incident on June 3 is complicated … and is scary for all LGBTQ+ students in our community,” said SAFE co-manager Amaya Peralta. “There is a long history of bigotry within SHS, but it is time to push for change and protect marginalized students. The administration needs to acknowledge the issue. There will never be change if we do not band together to protect students and hold perpetrators accountable.”
In an email, SAFE managers requested an explanation from administrators as to how the incident involving their Pride flag-wearing peer was handled.
“If ‘Students Thrive Here’ means anything, then we must apply it to ALL students, including, and especially, those who are a part of a community which has experienced so much hatred already,” the SAFE team said.
As the school day began to wrap up, Dorn sent an email to The Post containing a statement that will be read to students and has been shared with staff already. It reads:
“A logo of a flag that is printed on a piece of clothing or displayed on an item like a water bottle or binder is considered appropriate at school. Due to safety concerns, full-size flags may not be worn as an item of clothing or attached to clothing. All logos, as well as flags, etc., must be school appropriate. We want all students to feel welcome and accepted.”
Dorn added: “All students are protected from unlawful discrimination and harassment based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability and age. This includes students who are LGBTQ+. All reports are fully investigated and students who participate in that behavior receive consequences in accordance with policy and practice. Information regarding students’ consequences and outcomes of investigations are confidential due to student privacy.” | https://www.koin.com/local/clackamas-county/conversation-sparks-over-dress-code-policy-prohibiting-wearing-of-flags/ | 2022-06-06T22:44:11 | 0 | https://www.koin.com/local/clackamas-county/conversation-sparks-over-dress-code-policy-prohibiting-wearing-of-flags/ |
An investigation that started with an anonymous tip more than a year ago led to the arrest of two people who are now charged with promoting prostitution.
David Coble, 54, and Yanhong Liu Coble, 48, both of Bismarck, face possible five-year sentences on the felony charge. A conviction could also bring a fine of up to $10,000.
Police began investigating Cherry Blossom Spa in February 2021 after a man reported he’d been inappropriately touched, according to an affidavit.
Police during the investigation interviewed three men they saw leaving the establishment. The men said they’d paid by credit card for massage services and provided cash tips for sex acts. One man told police in April he’d been to the spa and paid for sex acts four times in the previous nine months.
The investigation included information from the department’s anonymous Tip411 reporting system. The tipster told police the clients at the Mapleton Avenue business were middle to older-aged men. On one day four different vehicles all from Montana visited the business, the tipster allegedly told police.

Police also used bank transaction records and information from the North Dakota Secretary of State’s office to verify ownership of the business. David Coble was once the registered agent but Yanhong Liu Coble is now the owner, police say.
Two women, ages 43 and 44, were at the spa when police executed search warrants on Friday. One allegedly told investigators she puts cash in a purse at the office and “only gives money to the owner and the boss,” according to the affidavit. If money is missing “she has to pay up,” the document states.
The Cobles denied knowing about sex acts at the business. David Coble admitted to some financial involvement, such as writing checks, police said.
Defense attorney Lloyd Suhr, who represents David Coble, said he couldn’t make any statements about the case “other than to make it clear that Mr. Coble absolutely denies the charge.” Court records do not list an attorney for Yanhong Liu Coble.
A search of the business revealed a room with two beds, cellphones, prepared food and clothing in it, authorities said.
Authorities in September 2020 raided the Hong Kong Spa in south Bismarck after reports that massage therapists there were offering sexual acts to customers in exchange for tips.
Owner Craig Grorud, of Bismarck, was charged with felony facilitating prostitution and ultimately pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of misdemeanor promoting prostitution. Lance Jacobson, 65, and Jiang Jennings, 57, both of Hanover Park, Illinois, pleaded guilty to facilitating prostitution, and charges of human trafficking were dismissed. All three suspects got two years of probation.

TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — An Arizona man has filed a lawsuit against American Airlines after being wrongfully identified and arrested as a shoplifting suspect, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Tarrant County court.
Michael Lowe is accusing American Airlines of negligence, mental, physical and financial damages after being jailed for 17 days for a crime he didn’t commit in 2020, the lawsuit said.
On May 12, 2020, Lowe boarded an American Airlines flight departing form Flagstaff, Arizona to Reno, Nevada, with a layover and change of plane at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Once on board his flight, Lowe took a selfie and sent it to his girlfriend, pictured below:
On May 13, 2020, DFW Airport police began investigating a burglary committed ahead of Lowe’s flight at a duty-free store in Terminal D of the airport, according to court records.
DFW police had a surveillance photo of the alleged suspect -- which showed a man with a low buzz cut, blue-navy shirt and light-colored jeans. DFW police then used surveillance video to track the alleged suspect’s location to the terminal that boarded the same flight as Lowe.
To identify the suspect, a DFW detective obtained a search warrant, which ordered American Airlines to produce any and all recorded travel data for all of the people on Lowe’s flight.
But Lowe’s attorneys said the airline failed to produce “any and all recorded travel data for all individuals,” and instead, provided the DFW detective with only Lowe’s data.
As a result, on June 30, 2020, two arrest warrants were issued for Lowe for felony burglary of a building and misdemeanor criminal mischief, according to court records.
On July 4, 2021, Lowe was on vacation in Tucumcari, New Mexico attending a Fourth of July celebrations, when he encountered police who were searching for someone who had caused a disturbance. When officers ran Lowe’s name and came across the warrants out of Tarrant County, Lowe was arrested.
Lowe was transported to the Quay County, New Mexico Detention Center, where he told authorities he was unaware of the charges and they had the wrong person in jail.
In the lawsuit, Lowe’s attorneys said, “The terror Mr. Lowe experienced while imprisoned in Quay County for the next 17 days was existential. Placed in a quarantine pod, the facilities contempt for the health, safety and well-being of its inmates was immediately obvious, as not a single staff member nor inmate wore a face covering.”
The lawsuit stated that Lowe also had to sleep on a concrete floor, witness violent confrontations and the unfair treatment of inmates.
When Lowe was released on his 17th day in prison, he was given no further information on the charges he faced and had no way of getting home, according to court documents.
After returning to his home in Arizona, Lowe launched his own investigation into the case to work on clearing his name. He called the Tarrant County jail, clerk’s office and the DA’s office before reaching the DFW police detective in charge of the case.
The detective told Lowe that another warrant had been issued for his arrest because Lowe was supposed to appear in Tarrant County court the same day he called. But Lowe continued to insist they had the wrong suspect, and the detective informed him that the information on Lowe was provided by American Airlines.
After weeks of trying to find representation for his case, the DFW detective had obtained Lowe’s mugshot from Quay County and compared it to the surveillance photos of the suspect wanted in the airport store burglary.
The detective and the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office determined that Lowe was innocent, and all charges were dropped.
But the damage had been already done, he alleged.
The lawsuit went on to explain Lowe’s changed outlook on police, his issues with aches, anxiety, fear and nightmares following his days in jail. Lowe was once an outdoorsman and was preparing to take clients on tour in Alaska with his business as a National Park Service leader before his arrest. But the trip was cancelled, and Lowe lost a substantial amount of income as his warrants remained active for some time.
Now, American Airlines is accused in the lawsuit of breaching its duty by failing to comply with DFW police's warrant, failing to protect the safety of its passengers and causing Lowe's mental, physical and financial problems.
American Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/american-airlines-facing-lawsuit-after-mans-wrongful-arrest/287-89bbad98-782e-486e-a941-6b79389c3c53 | 2022-06-06T22:50:26 | 1 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/american-airlines-facing-lawsuit-after-mans-wrongful-arrest/287-89bbad98-782e-486e-a941-6b79389c3c53 |

TEXAS, USA — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is directing an active shooter training center to provide training to all Texas school districts before the next school year.
Editorial note: The above video is from a previous story.
The directive comes after the Uvalde school shooting that left 19 students and two teachers dead at Robb Elementary School.
In a letter to the ALERRT Center at Texas State University, Abbott said the state can benefit from the center's expertise.
In 2013, ALERRT was named the gold standard in active shooter response training by the FBI.
"We sadly recognize we cannot do anything to bring back previous lives that were taken," Abbott wrote in the letter. "However, we must do everything in our power to prevent the same tragic ending from happening again."
RELATED: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushing to provide every school police officer with a bulletproof shield
Abbott requests that ALERRT debrief school administrators, law enforcement personnel and other school safety decision-makers to prioritize school-based law enforcement training.
Abbott also said the training must start before the next school year begins.
ALERRT is designed for first responders to use effective strategies in response to active attacks, according to their website.
They've trained over 200,000 first responders nationwide with their 16-hour program. The training includes team movement, room entry techniques, shooting and moving, and how to approach the crisis.
The letter to ALERRT comes days after Abbott requested state leaders form a special legislative committee, but stopped short of calling for a special legislative session.
"I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
- School safety
- Mental health
- Social media
- Police training
- Firearm safety
It is important the process begins immediately," Abbott wrote.
Abbott recently requested a complete safety review of Texas public schools -- including random, unannounced security checks -- in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting. | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/gov-abbott-requests-texas-school-districts-complete-active-shooter-training/285-abe87cec-8498-4bea-a40f-a32b5505ead7 | 2022-06-06T22:50:38 | 0 | https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/gov-abbott-requests-texas-school-districts-complete-active-shooter-training/285-abe87cec-8498-4bea-a40f-a32b5505ead7 |

BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — Editor's Note: The video above originally aired on KARE 11 on Aug. 21, 2021.
Can't stand waiting in long drive-thru lines to grab a quick bite? A soon-to-open Taco Bell location hopes to solve that problem and give new meaning to "fast" food.
On Tuesday, June 7, the first-of-its-kind Taco Bell Defy will open in Brooklyn Park, a two-story restaurant that reinvents the drive-thru.
Here's how it works.
This Taco Bell has four drive-thru lanes, each of which serves a different purpose. There are lines for customers who preorder their Crunchwrap Supremes and Quesaritos ahead of time on the Taco Bell app, a spot for delivery drivers to pull up and quickly grab orders made with third-party partners, and then a single traditional drive-thru lane.
But there's a twist – a drive-thru attendant isn't handing you your food through a window. Instead, orders are dropped down to your car.
Yup, dropped.
Minneapolis-based Vertical Works designed a proprietary lift that lowers food from the second-story kitchen, located above the drive-thru line, down to your car. The goal is to keep service times to two minutes or less by using digital check-in screens and two-way audio between customers and employees.
Border Foods, the Minnesota-based company and one of the largest Taco Bell franchises in the country, is behind the new gravity-defying concept. The family-owned Taco Bell franchisee has 230 locations across the upper Midwest and is headquartered in New Hope.
Taco Bell Defy is located at 94th Avenue North in Brooklyn Park.

The familiar sound of the mechanical street sweeper will soon fill the streets of New York City, as the city will resume the full schedule of street sweeping.
The news comes as a relief to residents who saw dirt piling up -- and a disappointment to drivers who got a two year break from having to move their car every Monday.
Pedro Blyden, a driver from the Upper West Side, said he enjoyed the break "because it's hard to park."
For the past two years it’s worked like this: on blocks where there are two cleaning days scheduled — the NYC Sanitation Department would only visit on the second one.
“We are doing back to pre-pandemic regulations because we need to clean up our city," NYC Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who has been on the job for a month, said.
“It’s a pain for car owners and drivers but people are complaining about the state of our streets," Tisch said.
For contractor PJ Niebling it’s about time the rules went back to normal. For him, the city that never sleeps has also become the city that never moves its cars and because of this he says he can’t find parking.

For the first time in five years, College of Eastern Idaho is increasing its total for tuition and fees.
The CEI board of trustees recently approved a general fee increase of $11 per credit hour effective for the Fall 2022 semester. The new total for tuition and fees will be $140 per credit hour.
According to a Monday news release, the fee increase brings CEI in line with the other three Idaho community colleges and CEI has not increased the general fee since 2017.
In 2021, the tuition and fees estimated total for one semester was $2,789 for Bonneville County residents, according to CEI’s website. Total cost of attendance for an associate degree ranged between $7,077 and $9,628 for dependent and independent students.
Todd Wightman, CEI's communications and marketing director, said the new one semester estimate will increase to about $3,173. The $140 per credit hour cost matches College of Southern Idaho and is one dollar more than College of Western Idaho's per credit hour cost. North Idaho College's per credit hour cost is $141.50.
"It comes down to the college trying to maintain a quality instruction," Wightman said about the increase "Rising costs and inflation are affecting everything and the college is no different."
Wightman also said it was unusual for a college to go five years without increasing tuition fees. The increase was necessary for CEI to catch up and be unified with other state community colleges, he said.
"We're still a great value to earn an associate degree and then transfer into a four-year university," Wightman said. | https://www.postregister.com/news/local/college-of-eastern-idaho-increases-tuition-costs/article_46c85cb4-84df-5dc9-a9f5-fafe91eca404.html | 2022-06-06T22:55:15 | 0 | https://www.postregister.com/news/local/college-of-eastern-idaho-increases-tuition-costs/article_46c85cb4-84df-5dc9-a9f5-fafe91eca404.html |
A Greater Idaho Falls Transit On-Demand van is photographed parked at the city's ribbon cutting ceremony of the splash pad at Reinhart Park on May 31. Residents can schedule a ride through the service with the "GIFT On-Demand" app or by calling 208-269-9729.
Public transportation has returned to the city of Idaho Falls and users can schedule a ride with the new service anytime from their cellphone.
City officials kicked off the Greater Idaho Falls Transit On-Demand point-to-point rideshare service on Friday. Local residents can now schedule a ride by calling 208-269-9729 or download the “GIFT On-Demand" app from the Apple App Store or Google Play to set up a ride.
“Unlike the former transportation service that had fixed routes and bus stops, GIFT is an on-demand service that can be scheduled from the comfort of your own home or wherever you are doing business in Idaho Falls. You can even schedule up to one week in advance,” said GIFT Transit Coordinator Kade Marquez in a Friday news release.
Users schedule rides through the app by going to the Apple App Store or Google Play and search “GIFT On-Demand” to find and download the app. Rides also can be scheduled by calling 208-269-9729.
The general fare is $3 a person per one-way ride and is collected through the app. The fare is less if the individual qualifies for a discounted rate based on the federal funding regulations, such as individuals over the age of 63.
The service will be available 14 hours a day, six days a week. The hours of operation are 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays.
GIFT vehicles are ADA compliant for individuals with disabilities. All drivers are trained in basic medical transport to assist users from the front door to the vehicle and to the door of their destination.
Each of the seven GIFT vehicles in Idaho Falls will be equipped with bike racks to transport users to and/or from the various pathways in Idaho Falls, such as the River Walk.
The city’s previous public transit system, Targhee Regional Public Transportation Authority, shut down services in April 2019 due to financial restrictions following a failed audit. The public bus service provided regularly scheduled routes through the city and non-emergency transit services for riders with disabilities.
GIFT is a $4.2 million service funded by federal COVID-19 relief funds and requires no further taxpayer dollars to operate the service. It is a pilot program city officials will test over the next two years to determine future demand, user groups, funding options and service delivery. | https://www.postregister.com/news/local/new-public-transit-service-launches-in-idaho-falls/article_11411567-b794-5e35-a65c-92e08b46c6aa.html | 2022-06-06T22:55:21 | 1 | https://www.postregister.com/news/local/new-public-transit-service-launches-in-idaho-falls/article_11411567-b794-5e35-a65c-92e08b46c6aa.html |
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, Calif. — San Joaquin County's Registrar of Voters, Heather Ditty, has passed away just one day before the primary election.
San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors Chairman Chuck Winn said in a statement that Ditty passed away on Saturday morning due to unforeseen health complications.
Ditty was with Sacramento County for 26 years before taking on the Registrar of Voters position in San Joaquin County for 6 months.
She was known as "a gifted leader, beloved civil servant and adored by the election’s community," he said in the statement.
Going into June 7, San Joaquin County's Assistant Registrar of Voters, Olivia Hale, is stepping in to finalize the work Ditty already put in place.
San Joaquin County's former Registrar of Voters, Austin Erdman, has also returned to provide support with the process.
"Heather's 26 years of experience, she channeled that through me and shared all she could with me, and I believe she has prepared me to be fully prepared to step in on her behalf when needed," Hale told ABC10.
Hale had nothing but amazing and sentimental words for Ditty and her family, mentioning how personable Ditty was. Hale also mentioned how Ditty's death, to her organization, feels like they had lost a family member.
Many other former colleagues and current staff have shared admirable words about Ditty as well, according to Winn. Many said she was kind, funny, outspoken and a true friend and mentor.
"She was a wonderful boss," Hale said. "I am honored to be able to walk in her footsteps to get this election done, but I am definitely sad that she's not here to do it with us. I just keep reminding myself she's here in spirit guiding us along the way."

A 63-year-old man was arrested and charged last week after three women alleged he had sexually abused them as children, police said in court records.
Delbert Taylor was charged with two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a child and one count of third-degree sexual assault of a child.
His first accuser told Bryan West Campus staff in September 2021 that Taylor had sexually abused her as a child, and later told Lincoln Police the abuse began when she was about 6 years old, investigator Jake McCord said in the affidavit for Taylor's arrest.
The girl was in high school when she disclosed the alleged abuse, according to court records.
Another girl, now 15, told police in February that Taylor began abusing her when she was 7 or 8, McCord said.
And a third woman, who is now in her 20s, told investigators in April that Taylor had repeatedly sexually assaulted her at his central Lincoln home and at nearby parks and trails, McCord said.

The woman told police that Taylor threatened to abuse her younger sister if she didn't allow the assaults to continue. Her sister is among Taylor's accusers, according to the affidavit.
Police contacted and arrested Taylor at his apartment Wednesday. He was taken to the Lancaster County Jail, where his bond is $750,000. He must pay $75,000 to be released.
Tom Casady's list of the 10 most infamous crimes in Lincoln history
Crimes of the times
This is simply one man’s perspective from the early 21st century (first written in 2010). I had to make a decision about crimes that occurred at locations that are inside the city today, but were outside our corporate limits at the time they occurred. I chose the latter.
Before beginning, though, I have to deal with three crimes that stand apart: the murders of three police officers in Lincoln. I’m not quite sure how to place them in a list. They all had huge impacts on the community, and on the police department in particular. Because these are my colleagues, I deal with them separately and in chronological order.
Patrolman Marion Francis Marshall
Shot in the shadow of the new Nebraska State Capital, Gov. Charles Bryan came to his aid and summoned additional help.
Lt. Frank Soukup
Marion Marshall was technically not a Lincoln police officer, so Lt. Soukup was actually the first Lincoln police officer killed on duty. One of his colleagues who was present at the motel and involved in the gunbattle, Paul Jacobsen, went on to enjoy a long career and command rank at LPD, influencing many young charges (like me) and leaving his mark on the culture of the agency.
Lt. Paul Whitehead
In the space of a few months, three LPD officers died in the line of duty. Frank Soukup had been murdered, and George Welter had died in a motorcycle crash. Paul Whitehead's partner, Paul Merritt, went on to command rank, and like Paul Jacobsen left an indelible mark at LPD and the community.
No. 1: Starkweather
The subject of several thinly disguised movie plots and a Springsteen album, the Starkweather murders are clearly the most infamous crime in Lincoln’s history — so far. One of the first mass murderers of the mass media age, six of Charles Starkweather’s 11 victims were killed inside the city of Lincoln, and the first was just on the outskirts of town. I didn’t live in Lincoln at the time, but my wife was a first-grader at Riley Elementary School and has vivid memories of the city gripped by fear in the days between the discovery of the Bartlett murders and Starkweather’s capture in Wyoming.
The case caused quite an uproar. There was intense criticism of the police department and sheriff’s office for not capturing Starkweather earlier in the week after the discovery of the Bartletts' bodies. Ultimately, Mayor Bennett Martin and the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners retained a retired FBI agent, Harold G. Robinson, to investigate the performance of local law enforcement. His report essentially exonerated the local law officers and made a few vanilla recommendations for improving inter-agency communication and training.
Now I know that many readers are mumbling to themselves “how obvious.” Hold your horses, though. It’s not quite as obvious as you might think. I had two experiences that drove this fact home to me. The first was a visit by a small group of journalism students. Only one member of the class had any idea, and her idea was pretty vague. You need to remember that the Starkweather murders were in 1957 and 1958 — before the parents of many college students were even born.
The second experience was a visit by a Cub Scout den. I was giving the kids a tour of the police station one evening. We were in the front lobby waiting for everyone to arrive. As I entertained the boys, I told the moms and dads that they might enjoy looking in the corner of the Sheriff’s Office display case to see the contents of Starkweather’s wallet — discovered a couple of years ago locked up in the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office safe. After a few minutes, one of the confused fathers asked me who Starkweather was, and why it was significant.
No. 2: Lincoln National Bank
On the morning of Sept. 17, 1930, a dark blue Buick carrying six men pulled up in front of the Lincoln National Bank at the northwest corner of 12th and O streets. Five of the men entered the bank, while a sixth stood outside by the Buick, cradling a machine gun. Observing the unusual events, a passerby called the police. The officer who responded, Forrest Shappaugh, was casually instructed by the machine-gun-toting lookout to just keep going, which he wisely did. Returning with reinforcements, he found that the robbers had already made good on their getaway, netting $2.7 million in cash and negotiable securities.
Ultimately, three of the six suspects were arrested. Tommy O’Connor and Howard Lee were convicted and sentenced. Jack Britt was tried twice but not convicted by a hung jury. Gus Winkeler, a member of Al Capone’s gang, winged a deal with County Attorney Max Towle to avoid prosecution in exchange for orchestrating the recovery of $600,000 in bearer bonds. The following year, Winkeler was murdered in Chicago, the victim of a gangland slaying. The final two robbers were never identified.
The Lincoln National Bank robbery stood as the largest cash bank robbery in the United States for many decades. It precipitated major changes at the Lincoln Police Department. Chief Peter Johnstone was rapidly “retired” after the robbery, the department’s fleet was upgraded to add the first official patrol cars, the full force was armed and a shotgun squad was organized. Forty-four years later when I was hired at LPD, the echo of the Lincoln National Bank robbery was still evident in daily bank opening details, and in the Thomspon submachine guns and Reising rifles that detectives grabbed whenever the robbery alarm sounded at headquarters.
No. 3: The Last Posse
My first inkling about this crime came when I was the chief deputy sheriff. One of my interns, a young man named Ron Boden (who became a veteran deputy sheriff), had been doing some research on Lancaster County’s only known lynching, in 1884. I came across a reference in the biography of the sheriff at the time, Sam Melick, to the murder of the Nebraska Penitentiary warden and subsequent prison break. Melick had been appointed interim warden after the murder and instituted several reforms.
Several years later, a colleague, Sgt. Geoff Marti, loaned me a great book, Gale Christianson’s "Last Posse," that told the story of the 1912 prison break in gory, haunting and glorious detail.
To make a long story short, convict Shorty Gray and his co-conspirators shot and killed Warden James Delahunty, a deputy warden and a guard on Wednesday, March 13, 1912. They then made their break — right into the teeth of a brutal Nebraska spring blizzard. Over the course to the next few days, a posse pursued. During the pursuit, the escapees carjacked a young farmer with his team and wagon. As the posse closed in, a gunfight broke out and the hostage was shot and killed in the exchange, along with two of the three escapees.
There was plenty of anger among the locals in the Gretna-Springfield vicinity about the death of their native son, and a controversy raged over the law enforcement tactics that brought about his demise. Lancaster County Sheriff Gus Hyers was not unsullied by the inquiry, although it appears from my prospect a century later that the fog of war led to the tragedy.
Christianson, a professor of history at Indiana State University who died earlier this year, notes the following on the flyleaf:
“For anyone living west of the Mississippi in 1912, the biggest news that fateful year was a violent escape from the Nebraska state penitentiary planned and carried out by a trio of notorious robbers and safe blowers.”
Bigger news on half the continent than the sinking of the Titanic during the same year would certainly qualify this murder-escape as one of the most infamous Lincoln crimes in history.
No. 4: Rock Island wreck
The Aug. 10, 1894, wreck of a Rock Island train on the southwest outskirts of Lincoln was almost lost in the mist of time until it was resurrected in the public consciousness by author Joel Williams, who came across the story while conducting research for his historical novel, "Barrelhouse Boys."
The wreck was determined to be the result of sabotage to the tracks, perhaps an attempt to derail the train as a prelude to robbery. Eleven people died in the crash and ensuing fire, making this a mass murder, to be sure. G.W. Davis was arrested and convicted of the crime but later received a full pardon. The story was told in greater detail earlier this year by the Lincoln Journal Star.
A historical marker is along the Rock Island Trail in Wilderness Park, accessible only by foot or bike from the nearest trail access points about a half-mile away at Old Cheney Road on the north, or 14th Street on the south.
Here’s the big question that remains unanswered: Was there really significant evidence to prove that George Washington Davis committed the crime, or was he just a convenient scapegoat? The fact that he received a gubernatorial pardon 10 years later leads me to believe that the evidence must have been unusually weak. If he was railroaded, then my second question is this: who really pried loose the tracks with the 40-pound crowbar found at the scene?
No. 5: Commonwealth
On Nov. 1, 1983, the doors to Nebraska’s largest industrial savings and loan company were closed and Commonwealth was declared insolvent. The 6,700 depositors with $65 million at stake would never be fully compensated for their loss, ultimately receiving about 59 cents on the dollar for their deposits, which they all mistakenly believed were insured up to $30,000 through the Nebraska Depository Insurance Guaranty Corporation, which was essentially an insurance pool with assets of only $3 million.
The case dominated Nebraska news for months. The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of three members of the prominent Lincoln family that owned the institution, the resignation of the director of the State Department of Banking and the impeachment of the Nebraska attorney general and the suspension of his license to practice law. State and federal litigation arising from the failure of Commonwealth drug on for years.
At the Lincoln Police Department, the Commonwealth failure led to the formation of a specialized white-collar crime detail, now known as the Technical Investigations Unit. At the time, municipal police departments in the United States had virtually no capacity for investigating financial crime and fraud of this magnitude, and we quickly became well known for our expertise in this area. The early experience served LPD very well in the ensuring years.
No. 6: Candice Harms
Candi Harms never came home from visiting her boyfriend on Sept. 22, 1992. Her parents reported her as a missing person the following morning, and her car was found abandoned in a cornfield north of Lincoln later in the day. Weeks went by before her remains were found southeast of Lincoln.
Scott Barney and Roger Bjorklund were convicted in her abduction and murder. Barney is in prison serving a life term. Bjorklund died in prison in 2001. Intense media attention surrounded the lengthy trial of Roger Bjorklund, for which a jury was brought in from Cheyenne County as an alternative to a change of venue. I have no doubt that the trial was a life-changing event for a group of good citizens from Sidney, who did their civic duty.
I was the Lancaster County sheriff at the time, involved both in the investigation and in the trial security. It was at about this time that the cellular telephone was becoming a consumer product, and I have often thought that this brutal crime probably spurred a lot of purchases. During my career, this is probably the second-most-prominent Lincoln crime in terms of the sheer volume of media coverage.
No. 7: Jon Simpson and Jacob Surber
A parent’s worst nightmare unfolded in September 1975 when these two boys, ages 12 and 13, failed to return from the Nebraska State Fair. The boys were the victims of abduction and murder. The case was similar to a string of other murders of young boys in the Midwest, and many thought that these cases were related -- the work of a serial killer. Although an arrest was made in the case here in Lincoln, the charges were eventually dismissed. William Guatney was released and has since died.
No. 8: John Sheedy
Saloon and gambling house owner John Sheedy was gunned down outside his home at 1211 P St. in January 1891. The case of Sheedy, prominent in Lincoln’s demiworld, became the talk of the town when his wife, Mary, and her alleged lover and accomplice, Monday McFarland, were arrested. Both were acquitted at trial. The Sheedy murder is chronicled in a great interactive multimedia website, Gilded Age Plains City, an online version that builds upon an article published in 2001 by Timothy Mahoney of the University of Nebraska.
No. 9: Patricia McGarry and Catherine Brooks
The bodies of these two friends were found in a Northeast Lincoln duplex in August 1977. Their murderer, Robert E. Williams, was the subject of a massive Midwest manhunt during the following week. Before his capture, he committed a third murder in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, and raped, shot and left for dead a victim who survived in Minnesota. He is the last man to be executed in Nebraska, sent to the electric chair in 1997.
No. 10: Judge William M. Morning
District Court Judge William Morning was murdered in February 1924. He was shot on the bench by an unhappy litigant in a divorce case. His court reporter, Minor Bacon, was also shot, but a notebook in his breast pocket deflected the bullet and saved his life.
Many other crimes
Choosing Lincoln's 10 most infamous crimes was a challenge. Although the top two were easy, the picture quickly became clouded. We tend, of course, to forget our history rather quickly. Many of the crimes I felt were among the most significant are barely remembered today, if not completely forgotten.
Some readers will take issue with my list. In choosing 10, here are the others I considered, in no particular order. They are all murders:
-- Mary O'Shea
-- Nancy Parker
-- Charles Mulholland
-- Victoria Lamm and Janet Mesner
-- Martina McMenamin
-- Regina Bos (presumably murdered)
-- Patty Webb
-- Marianne Mitzner
I also thought about the five murder-suicides in which a mother or father killed multiple family members before taking their own life. Though tragic, these crimes did not command the same kind of attention as the others, perhaps because there was no lengthy investigation, no tantalizing whodunit, no stranger-killer, nor any of the details that come out in the coverage of a major trial.

Marlboro church looks to connect Marlington community through home improvement projects
MARLBORO TWP. – A church wants to bring businesses, organizations and members of the Marlington communities together through home restoration this summer.
Marlboro Christian Church is seeking students entering grades seven through 12 and adults with home rehabilitation experience to participate in Mission Marlington – a program that involves completing outdoor home improvement projects for residents in need.
"The vision is for skilled laborers to come together with students, with middle school and high school students, and teach them skills that will impact the community through restoration," said Rev. Ed Carter of Marlboro Christian Church. "We will do simple projects that are outside."
These projects could include painting, landscaping, building wheelchair ramps and working on porches. Carter said the goal is to complete four or five projects from July 6-9.
Students from any school district are invited to participate in the program. Work days will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. Lunch will be provided at the worksite. Afterward, participants will be fed dinner and have the opportunity to partake in non-work evening activities.
They will also take a trip to Cedar Point on July 11.
The cost for participation is $75 per student. This covers lunches and dinners and the Cedar Point trip.
Carter said Mission Marlington was inspired by a similar program led by a church in Wellsville.
"We go to different places on mission trips, we take our kids to different places on mission trips pretty far away," he said. "We do a lot of this type of work there. But if you look at it locally you see there's still kind of a pretty big need for it here, too."
He wanted the program to be a collaboration between Marlboro Christian Church and other places of worship in the area. Several churches already work together on a weekly basis to pack bags of food for elementary students in the district to take home on the weekends.
"We want people to understand that we come together, we love our community," Carter said.
Rev. Gary Bush of Grace Community Church of Alliance said Mission Marlington is a tremendous program that will bring together various groups in the community.
"I think it's a wonderful way for churches in the community to pull together and work and serve the individuals in the community, especially those that are experiencing difficulties. (It's) a way that we can connect and help them with projects at their homes," Bush said.
Carter hopes to keep the project going for years to come.
He said Mission Marlington will conduct background checks on any adults who wish to participate. Applicants who want to be considered for home projects must own their homes, not rent them.
Applications must be submitted by June 13.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida Sen. Annette Taddeo, a Democrat from South Florida, is dropping her campaign for the party’s nomination for governor and is now running for Congress.
As first reported by CBS Miami, Taddeo will instead challenge Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a Republican who represents the 27th U.S. House district in Florida, which encompasses part of Miami.

Taddeo’s campaign for governor never really picked up steam. She came in third in polls behind Rep. Charlie Crist and Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried.
Crist and Fried remain the frontrunners in a race that includes eight other, lesser-known Democrats, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
The winner of the Democratic primary, which takes place Aug. 23, will take on the winner of the Republican primary for governor in the November general election. Incumbent Gov. Ron DeSantis is facing a primary against two other candidates.

OCOEE, Fla. – Family members of a couple killed in a crash during the 2018 Founders’ Day Festival in Ocoee are frustrated after an Orange County Judge accepted a plea agreement from the suspect in the hit-and-run crash.
Prosecutors say Tammer Mansour drove into a crowd and killed Richard Giannazzo and Diana Cole during the event. Ocoee police say Mansour sped off after the crash until he was forced to stop by witnesses, but they say even then he ditched the SUV used in the crash in a parking lot and ran from the scene.
[TRENDING: $5 a gallon ‘very real possibility’ as Florida gas prices break another record | Hidden Gem: Everything Weeki Wachee Springs State Park has to offer | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
Frank Giannazzo is Richard’s brother.
“I think it was a great miscarriage of justice. My brother was worth more than that. He was the best one in the family. We lost a good man,” he said. “No remorse, he didn’t even apologize. He didn’t even say I’d like to say I’m sorry to the family. Nothing.”
Under the agreement, Mansour was ordered to spend 4 years in prison, with credit for 361 days time served, followed by 20 years probation. The judge also ordered his driver’s license be permanently revoked.
A decision was reached by attorneys on both sides. The prosecutor said he agreed to the deal because there could have possibly been no justice.
“This case may have ultimately ended up dismissed if it goes to the district court of appeals,” said Assistant State Attorney David Fear.
“It’s a fair resolution based on the actual facts of the case. Mr. Mansour is apologetic and it’s not a day that goes by that he doesn’t think about what happened that night,” said Mansour’s attorney Kendell Ali.
During the hearing, Mansour watched on as the victims’ families tried to convince the judge why they felt the plea agreement was not right.
“I’m sorry, your honor. My sister’s life was worth more than a slap on a wrist and a don’t do that again,” said Deb Cole, Diana Cole’s sister.
“That man right there, deserves to be punished,” said Carl Giannazzo, Richard’s brother. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/06/family-frustrated-as-judge-accepts-plea-deal-in-fatal-2018-ocoee-founders-day-crash/ | 2022-06-06T23:07:41 | 0 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/06/family-frustrated-as-judge-accepts-plea-deal-in-fatal-2018-ocoee-founders-day-crash/ |
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A leukemia survivor has spent the last thirteen years cycling to recruit more donors ever since a transplant saved his life.
Bob Falkenberg started his latest ride in Jacksonville pedaling his way to the Florida Keys.
[TRENDING: $5 a gallon ‘very real possibility’ as Florida gas prices break another record | Hidden Gem: Everything Weeki Wachee Springs State Park has to offer | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
“Once you get going, it’s fun,” Falkenberg said.
Now that he is retired, Falkenberg is a volunteer for the Be The Match patient-assistance grant program. All funds donated to the program help patients with expenses that aren’t covered by insurance, like travel to transplant centers.
“When I was being treated for the cancer, I made a decision that, if I got through all of that, I’d do whatever I could to help other people that are going through it,” Falkenberg said.
This is not his first 100+ mile ride. In 2011, Falkenberg rode from Boston to Key West, and in 2017, he rode from Vancouver to San Francisco. In 2021, he did thirteen courier trips delivering bone marrow stem cells from collection centers to transplant centers. He wears a wristband during his rides for another patient looking for a donor.
“I promised him when we were there visiting that we would find him a match, and fortunately, just a couple of months ago, they found a match for him,” Falkenberg said.
Falkenberg said when he was looking for a donor, he had thirteen perfect matches his doctors could choose from. But not everyone in need of a transplant faces the same odds.
“I’m of European decent, and there’s a lot of donors that are of a similar ethnicity, and a similar genetic makeup, so if you’re African American right now, there’s only a 29 percent chance of finding one donor on the registry,” Falkenberg said.
According to Be The Match, anyone aged 18-44 can register to be a donor. It’s a simple swab test to check eligibility.
Falkenberg said the process to donate is not painful — something most people ask him about.
He said it’s similar to donating plasma, and you can save a life. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/06/florida-man-cycles-to-help-patients-in-need-of-transplants/ | 2022-06-06T23:07:47 | 0 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/06/florida-man-cycles-to-help-patients-in-need-of-transplants/ |

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Weeks after Florida lawmakers passed a bill requiring older condominiums to undergo safety inspections to ensure the buildings’ structural integrity, Central Florida condominium association members have many questions about how the new requirements will impact owners.
“It all depends on how intrusive the inspection is, and how expensive it’s going to be,” said Daniel Rogers, a member of the Sand Pebbles Condominium Association board. “Is it feasible for these associations to afford it?”
In response to last year’s partial collapse of a beachfront condominium in Surfside that killed 98, Gov. Ron DeSantis recently signed new legislation into law requiring certain condominiums three stories or taller to be recertified.
[TRENDING: $5 a gallon ‘very real possibility’ as Florida gas prices break another record | Hidden Gem: Everything Weeki Wachee Springs State Park has to offer | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
Condominiums older than 30 years, or 25 years if the building is within 3 miles of the coast, must be visually inspected by a licensed engineer or architect, and every 10 years thereafter.
Evidence of substantial structural deterioration will require a more thorough, secondary inspection.
The new law also requires condominium associations to study their reserve funds every 10 years to ensure they can pay for any major repairs.
Professional engineering inspections can potentially cost tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the building and the scope of work involved.
“We have only 30 residents here, so a very invasive inspection could be very expensive for everyone,” Rogers said.
State lawmakers expect to provide more detailed information about inspection criteria before the new law is scheduled to take effect in January 2025.
The Florida Building Commission, in consultation with the State Fire Marshal, is required to review the new inspection requirements and make any recommendations to the governor and legislature by the end of this year.
“We’re going to be back in regular session at least one more time before any of this really kicks in, which gives ample time to tweak, amend, hear from the public and people on the ground,” said Jason Pizzo, the Democratic state senator who represents Surfside.
Pizzo and other state legislators plan to host a public forum on the new law later this month.
Until the new state law was passed, only Miami-Dade County, Broward County and a few cities required older condominiums to undergo mandatory inspections.
“I understand there are people who don’t want regulation, in terms of a government agency,” Miami-based engineer John Pistorino told News 6 last year. “But [other] regulations are already there.”
Pistorino, who was involved in the creation of Miami-Dade County’s ordinance requiring condominium inspections after 40 years, investigated the 1974 roof collapse at Miami’s U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency office that killed seven people.
“The salt gets into the concrete through the water, and the salt is very corrosive,” said Pistorino. “The building was almost 40 years old, and that’s what it took to create this deterioration. So that’s why I picked 40 years as being the criteria.”
Florida’s law will require much newer condominiums statewide to be recertified.
Like many condos in Brevard and Volusia Counties, the Sand Pebbles has sat on the beach for nearly 30 years enduring sun, hurricane-force winds and salty ocean air.
Following the Surfside condo collapse, Rogers said the Sand Pebbles Condominium Association voluntarily hired an engineer to verify the condo’s safety.
“These buildings show wear after a while, and so we have them take a look at these signs of wear to make sure there’s not a problem structurally, that the foundation is sound, there are not sinkholes,” said Rogers, who generally opposes government mandates like the new condo inspection requirement. “We take good care of it. We stay ahead of it. We have good reserves. We take care of the building.”

MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. – The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating surveillance of a 56-year-old bicyclist recorded at a 7-Eleven minutes before the hit-and-run crash that killed him.
Troopers said the collision Friday around 9:35 p.m. ejected the bicyclist off of the State Road 520 causeway and into the Indian River, an estimated 30 to 50-foot fall.
[TRENDING: $5 a gallon ‘very real possibility’ as Florida gas prices break another record | Hidden Gem: Everything Weeki Wachee Springs State Park has to offer | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
“I couldn’t believe it,” 7-Eleven employee Karen Watson said.
Watson showed News 6 the surveillance of who she described as a regular customer stopping in Friday night, she said, after he waited tables at the Merritt Island Red Lobster.
“He’d even tip us bagging his groceries,” she remembered.
When he left 7-Eleven, the man is seen heading toward the causeway on his way home to Cocoa.
State troopers said the driver was going west too when that driver hit the bicycle and never stopped.
Watson said she later drove by the scene.
“I saw lights and stuff at the top of the bridge, bicycle in the middle between the right and the left lane kind of twisted, but I didn’t see a person,” Watson recalled.
Troopers Monday did not release the name of the man and the only description troopers said they have of the vehicle is that it was white or another light color.
The FHP said the bicyclist did nothing wrong riding on the shoulder, but Lt. Channing Taylor also pointed out just how narrow that shoulder is.
“That’s probably one of the more dangerous bridges. There’s really no shoulder to ride on,” Taylor said.
Watson offered suggestions for making the bridge safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.
“It would be nice if we had cameras up there,” she said. “It would be really great if they put lights and lit the bridge up more.”
Anyone with information about Friday’s hit-and-run is asked to contact FHP at 407-737-2213, or Crimeline at 800-423-8477. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/06/surveillance-shows-bicyclist-before-hit-and-run-fall-from-causeway-into-indian-river/ | 2022-06-06T23:08:06 | 0 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/06/surveillance-shows-bicyclist-before-hit-and-run-fall-from-causeway-into-indian-river/ |

ATLANTA — A tree came toppling down in a Buckhead neighborhood after some storms moved through Monday afternoon.
The tree was spotted on Huntington Road and Wakefield Drive NE in the Brookwood Hills neighborhood.
A neighbor said she was driving home when she saw the tree down. She said it hit her neighbor's yard but didn't do any further damage to their home. They were not home at the time, she said.
"They were not happy but it could've been far worse," she said. "They just want to figure out how to get it cleaned up so I'm helping them as much as I can." | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/buckhead/tree-falls-down-buckhead-brookwood-hills-neighborhood/85-63af8542-9d97-472e-8916-ec6b8f50cb6d | 2022-06-06T23:20:06 | 1 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/buckhead/tree-falls-down-buckhead-brookwood-hills-neighborhood/85-63af8542-9d97-472e-8916-ec6b8f50cb6d |
