Escaped murderer fatally shot, other on run MALONE, New York AP — One of two convicted murderers who staged a brazen escape from an upstate maximum-security prison 3 weeks ago was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent in a wooded area about 30 miles from the prison on Friday, and the other is on the run, authorities said.
Author ities tracked down Richard Matt after a person towing a camper reported that there was a bullet hole through the back of it, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state police said at a news conference. David Sweat is still miss-. There was an indication that someone had recently been there and fled out the back door, he said. While searching the property, officers heard coughs and tactical teams came upon Matt in the woods. Johnson said his friend, correction officer Bob Willett, told him he immediately alerted police, about an hour before Matt was fatally shot. Authorities sent a team to the camp area, and Willett and police later heard a gunshot in the woods, Johnson said.
Officers then flooded the woods, and then Willett heard more shots, Johnson said. Charles Guess said earlier Friday that the search area had shifted slightly northwest to Malone after investigators found evidence left behind by the escapees. Items were found Thursday at a cabin and Friday morning in a field, both in Malone, he said.
Matt and Sweat used power tools to saw through a steel cell wall and several steel steam pipes, bashed a hole through a 2-foot-thick brick wall, squirmed through pipes, and emerged from a manhole outside the prison. Then a second lieutenant, Longenbaugh, 92, had to fly his twinengine Lockheed fighter — designed to go more than miles an hour — on just one engine more than once.
In fact, on three of his first five missions, an engine was hit. He flew over the Alps into Germany, and flying back on one engine was a test of his abilities — weaving through the Alps because he could no longer fly over them. In the end, he spent more than 30 years in the Air Force, and another 35 at the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District, from which he retired only recently. When he first heard that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor, it was in a house that had only recently gotten electricity. But a year later, on a brutally cold day, he drove a friend to Chanute Field to take a test for the Army Air Forces.
It was so cold outside, he came in to Grissom Hall, and a sergeant cajoled him into taking the test. The pair escaped early June 6 from the prison in Dannemora, near the Canadian border. Police blocked off roads in the area as officers hunted for Sweat. The search area for him is centered on Titusville Mountain State Forest in Malone and spans 22 square miles, down from 75 square miles earlier this week, authorities said. Mitch Johnson said one of his best friends checked on his hunting cabin in Malone on Friday.
The friend failed, but it turned out Longenbaugh was made to be a pilot. He was called to active duty 2 months after enlisting, and was trained for 13 months on a variety of planes. He felt no compunction about dive-bombing the rails in front of and behind a train, then strafing the train itself. The Ps also flew as bomber cover, but Longenbaugh said he rarely saw German planes, with. Once, when he was hobbled with only one engine, he was grateful that a Messerschmitt he saw never took off after him.
He returned the favor by not attacking it. After the war, he stayed in the Air Force. He flew in Korea but was eventually grounded as his depth perception deteriorated when he got too tired. He then had the distinction of being involved in a third war, Vietnam. In that war, his role was mainly covert, as he managed a CIA motor pool in Thailand.
He barely resisted an invitation to join the spy agency, he recalled. Married in to Marjorie Dillman — their first date was at Kickapoo Park — he fathered three daughters. District Judge James Zagel on Friday also ordered Dennis Egan of Topeka to spend a year of supervised release after completing his prison sentence in the charge involving the death deckhand Alex Oliva. Authorities said Egan illegally allowed Oliva to use a propane torch to unfreeze a cargo pump. They say that set off an explosion that killed Oliva, sank the barge, and dumped , gallons of oil into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
Chuck Tucker, vice provost for undergraduate education, says that includes 12 percent more state residents. The number of black students planning to attend is 35 percent higher than a year ago. The university has been criticized for a declining black student population, which was below 5 percent last year. The Illinois resident population had also declined, from nearly 90 percent in to 71 percent last fall.
Joseph Memorial Hospital in Murphysboro after being struck by the car Thursday evening. Deputies say the boys were killed on a lightly traveled, dead-end street. Speed is not being considered as a factor. As recently as last October, just over one-. The dissenters accused their colleagues of usurping power that belongs to the states and to voters, and short-circuiting a national debate about same-sex marriage.
Roberts read a summary of his dissent from the. Sophie Jesty foreground and Val Tanco, plaintiffs in the U. Supreme Court case on gay marriage, listen as their attorney, Regina Lambert, speaks during a news conference in Knoxville, Tennessee on Friday. The Supreme Court ruling legalizes gay marriage nationwide, including in the 14 remaining states with bans.
Jesty and Tanco moved to Tennessee for work after marrying in New York. It had nothing to do with it. And he said the couples seeking the right to marry should not have to wait for the political branches of government to act. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution requires states to allow same-sex couples to marry on the same basis as heterosexuals, he said. Illinois has allowed gay marriage since last year.
The ruling means 14 other states will have to stop enforcing bans on same-sex marriage, essentially approving it in all 50 states. Since the law took effect in June of last year, more than 10, same-sex couples have married in Illinois, according to an analysis of state records by the Equality Illinois group. Cook County Clerk David Orr says more than 7, marriage licenses have been issued in the Chicago area. The ruling closes the door on any possibility — however remote in Illinois — that the Legislature could one day reverse the law if political winds were to shift.
If relocating, a spouse could be denied employer-provided health and other benefits, for example. Others have complained the bans complicated everything from adoption and school enrollment to medical care and survivor benefits. James Darby and Patrick Bova, who have been a couple for 52 years and are now married, said it was always a concern when they traveled to their farm in Michigan. They wondered if one of them would be allowed in a hospital room if the other was ill or injured.
Expect even larger crowds than usual at the parade and festival in the North Side Boystown neighborhood. Open Daily at 8: Obama also called for gun control and efforts to eliminate poverty and job discrimination, and said the Confederate battle flag — long a symbol of Southern pride — must be removed from places of honor. The president came to eulogize the Rev. Clemente Pinckney, a state senator whose church was found-.
After the Civil War,. Pinckney himself came from a long line of preachers and protesters, and the eight people slain beside him drew no distinctions between their work in church and their efforts to improve society, Obama said. It was an act that drew on a long history of bombs and arsons and shots fired at churches; not random, but as a means of control, a way. The shootings in the Tunisian resort of Sousse happened at about the same time as a bombing at a Shiite mosque in Kuwait and an attack on a U. The attack, which hit the capital of Kuwait City, was one of three deadly.
The attack triggered an explosion that wounded two people. The suspect, who was apprehended soon after setting off the blast, is the latest French citizen implicated in extremist bloodshed in recent years after being flagged to authorities, then falling off the radar. His no pressure, courteous approach is reassuring and he welcomes all his many friends and past customers to call or visit.

AN DIEGO — Ted Giannoulas was working part-time at a radio station while making his way through journalism school 41 years ago when he first put on a chicken outfit. Thursday, he was still wearing a chicken outfit while talking about how he went from hoping to one day break big sports news to spending his life mimicking urinating on umpires.
The success of the San Diego Chicken since he started on a whim by a station manager is that no matter the changing times and social climates, he reminds folks attending ballgames across the country that sports are supposed to be fun. On Friday, we had another reminder, as Bill Walton — who seems to live in a world where human-sized chickens probably feels like a perfectly normal idea — introduced Bob Ryan, the longtime Boston Globe reporter, who was the recipient of the Red Smith Award.
Listening to folks like the Chicken, Walton, and Ryan are all benefits of attending the conference, but reminders that sports are meant to be fun are some of the longterm benefits I get from coming here. The folks at Sauk Valley Media support my inclusion in this organization, and my participation in conferences like this, for a lot of reasons.
After 4 decades, years of hijinks and escapades, the San Diego Chicken is still a reminder that sports are supposed to be fun. Contact us at Sports Editor Dan Woessner, ext. The hope is that doing this will make me a better sports editor, our staff better journalists, and, ultimately, will improve our product for the readers.
If none of that works, who knows — maybe I can give wearing a chicken suit a try. Exercise is medicine that leads to improved cardiovascular health, weight loss, and increased physical strength. Studies show running vastly improves the quality of life both emotionally and physically, and even helps you live longer. It also boosts serotonin levels, which can reduce anxiety and stress. Running increases physical strength. As a runner, your legs and core are your powerhouse. Running helps strengthen your muscles, which produces more strength throughout the body, as well as increased endurance.
Increased joint strength and stability. Federer breaks the record he shared with Bjorn Borg, the five-time Wimbledon champion who won 41 straight matches on grass from Running is a great way to improve strength, as well as physical and mental health. Running helps increase bone mass, leading to stronger, healthier bones. You may hear that running is hard on the knees, but studies show that incorporating running into your workout routine actually improves knee strength.
Running burns mega calories. The bonus is that when you exercise, you continue to burn calories for several hours post-exercise. Running sharpens focus and improves mental stamina. When running, your circulation increases, boosting blood flow to the brain. This is why going for a run helps you clear your head. Whether you choose to run for exercise, mental clarity, or to meet new people, the fact is that running is a good thing. With the many mental and physical benefits of running, the question should really be, why not run?

Amy Rodriguez started up top with Alex Morgan, injecting more pace, while Abby Wambach did not enter until the 86th minute.
Julie Johnston lofted a long ball into the penalty area, and Lloyd met it with her head 10 yards from the goal line and bounced the ball off the artificial turf and past goalkeeper Fei Wang. That brought cheers from the overwhelmingly pro-American crowd of 24, at Lansdowne Stadium. Before that, the best American chance was by Johnston in the 26th minute that was cleared in front of an open net by defender Li Dongna. Johnston also had a header off a corner kick in the 31st minute that popped over the crossbar. Brian had a chance to double the lead in the 73rd, but her long strike hit a post, and.
Lloyd missed high on the rebound. The Americans face a considerable challenge in Germany, which lost to Japan in overtime in the quarterfinals. The United States has an overall record against the Germans, including a advantage in World Cup matches. The giant man-made cooling reservoir, located just south of the Illinois River, plays home to some very good blue catfishing, as well as some good striped bass action. There are some tremendous smallmouth bass numbers, and some good bluegill swimming around as well.
Heck, I even shot a television show there several years ago with the Illinois Outdoor crew. The lake has recently suffered from a depleted forage base, as the extremely warm and dry summer a few years back triggered a fish kill, with water temps rising near degrees. Catching bait there was once a foregone conclusion, but now taking bait with you is a very wise idea.
The shad are making a comeback, but their numbers are nowhere near what they were, or what they need to be. So finding shad in advance is the way to go. Live bluegill or cut gills are a good bet as well as shad guts, G and S cheese bait, creek chubs, cut carp, and chicken liver, which also is a favorite of the striper population. The lake is really a sight to behold. If you are looking for something different, you really should try it out. Just head south on any. He can be reached at flatheadmechanic40 gmail. Put her in the wind until you reach the Seneca exit. At the stop sign off the exit, head south until you run into Seneca.
At the stop sign in Seneca, turn left and proceed across the Illinois River. Two miles or so after you cross the Illinois River, you will come to your first stop. Turn right and proceed toward all the windmills. About 2 more miles and the lake entrance will be on your right. The lake is super deep, running anywhere from 15 to 50 feet, enabling anyone to run virtually any boat you may have. I hate to complain, though, because we are liable to be in a drought a month from now.

Peter Bourjos scored the winning run from third on a throwing error by Mike Baxter in the 10th inning to lift the Cardinals to a win over the Cubs on Friday night in St. Bourjos began the inning with a double off Justin Grimm Kolten Wong followed with a single off the second base bag, and Matt Carpenter was walked to load the bases. Jhonny Peralta then hit a slow roller to second base, where right fielder Baxter was positioned with the bases loaded and no one out to give the Cubs five infielders.
Baxter charged hard and threw off-balance, but it went wide of home plate. Kevin Siegrist got the win as St. Louis won its fourth in a row overall and seventh straight at home, where the Cardinals are a major-league best Chicago lost its third in a row after a four-game winning streak. The Cards won in 10 innings. Ryan , 3: Martinez hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning, and Joakim Soria worked out of a jam in the ninth to lift the Tigers over the White Sox in Detroit.
The Tigers trailed in the seventh, but Rajai Davis led off with a homer that inning, and Martinez went deep off Zach Duke in the eighth. Bruce Rondon pitched a perfect top of the eighth for Detroit, earning his second major league win, and first since Soria finished for his 17th save in 19 chances. Soria allowed a leadoff.
Martinez now has 19 homers on the season, including six in the last five games. Nationals 5, Phillies 2: Max Scherzer took a. Shuck hit a one-out single, putting men on first and third. But Carlos Sanchez popped up a bunt for the second out, and Adam Eaton grounded out to. On a day Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg resigned, Scherzer stole the show.
The Nationals right-hander allowed two runs and five hits in eight innings. Scherzer tossed a nohitter last Saturday against Pittsburgh, falling one strike shy of a perfect game before hitting Jose Tabata on a pitch with two outs. He threw a one-hitter, striking out 16 in his previous start, and went 54 batters between hits allowed. The deepest a pitcher took a no-hitter after throwing one was Nolan Ryan in , when he allowed a hit with no outs in the eighth. An emotional Sandberg resigned as Phillies manager on Friday in his third season as Philadelphia struggles with the worst record in the major leagues.

The year-old Sandberg was drafted by the Phillies in , but was traded to the Chicago Cubs, where he became a Hall of Fame second baseman. The Phillies gave Sandberg his first managerial job in the majors in August after they fired Charlie Manuel, who led them to the World Series title. I enjoyed coming to the ballpark every day. I had excellent work from my coaching staff. The goal was to get the most out of my players. I also take responsibility for the things that are happening on the field.

But he will draw interest on the open market, and it sounds like the Bulls are willing to spend. Hoiberg said he has talked to every player on the roster, most in person.

At the bridge table, during the bidding, a player should judge how high to go by assuming that his partner holds a suitable minimum for the auction so far. And usually a defender should work out the minimum that his partner needs to hold so that they can defeat the contract.
How does that second possibility apply to this deal? What should happen in four hearts after West leads the spade king? Note that North did well to employ the Stayman convention to locate the heart fit. Three no-trump would surely have lost five spades and one club for down two. My rule is to use Stayman with a.
The defenders need four tricks to defeat the contract. East should hope that his partner holds either the club ace or heart ace. East, after encouraging his partner to continue spades by signaling with his eight, should take the second spade and shift to his singleton club. Here, West wins with his ace and gives East a club ruff, which is the fourth defensive trick. Alternatively, if West has the heart ace, he wins fourth trick with it and gives his partner the lethal ruff.
Finally, yes, East could overtake the spade king with his ace at trick one and immediately shift to his club. If anything, that is a more dynamic, delightful defense. Milwaukee 10, Minnesota 4 N.

And grandmothers share their crochet tricks and tips with the entire family. The art of crocheting or making fabric from yarn has been around for centuries.

So each actor may slip into another role or another time in an instant from the upstage tables to the main table. Therefore, each actor must step up to a seamless flexibility at the drop of a hat. That kind of talent always finds a path to TLP. Miles are the ideal models of stubbornness that we all love to hate, as well as Cullen Rogers, who tries to escape the madness at various junctures. Boy Jaguer Heier and Girl Victoria Kuzlik round out the family as the charming and sometimes not so charming youths soaking up all that happens around them.
This baggage takes on an ominous life of its own as we clearly identify ourselves in the same situations.

Two days later, Kari, age 33, a close friend of Chad, passed away reportedly from the same affliction. Her funeral service was at the same church exactly one week later. There had been many deaths from overdose within 2 years, but the close proximity of these two deaths caused the communities of Dixon and Lee County to be motivated to come together in an effort to create effective program-.

Matt did a great job obviously during the nearly 2 years he was here, covering Dixon city government during a period when lots of interesting things were going on to keep a reporter busy. He also tackled some big projects outside his Dixon beat — the Ogle County coverage and nursing home project are examples.
Both required Matt to examine hundreds of pages of public records that he obtained under state and federal Freedom of Information laws. Readers can expect us to continue that tradition. Advocating for public access to government meetings and records is one such strength at Sauk Valley Media.

Crybabies who are not getting their way, so they cry, cry, cry. The police corporal does not need to say he is sorry or quit the d e p a r t m e n t.

The public should know that there are caring and compassionate health care workers inside, but they are caught between their employer, who wants to maximize profits, and IDOC officers, who are concerned about good order, discipline, and an equally tight budget.

The plaintiff asserted that his First Amendment rights were breached after law enforcement deleted two posts on the county page that criticized the sheriff, and consequently banned him from commenting, the report reads.
The late-night update was removed a half hour. Read more online Go to saukvalley. But instead of deleting or pulling down the posts, the city could have simply edited a single entry, and updated it, and kept the record intact, much like the Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce did. Residents can voice opinions, Watts wrote, but the goal always has been to direct them to the appropriate city department.

The prosecution called as their last witness Ashley Moser, who was paralyzed and suffered a miscarriage in the attack. Her 6-year-old daughter, Veronica, was killed.

After almost 4 inches of rain came down on the Sauk Valley on Monday, city of Rock Falls maintenance crews and leadership sprang into action — day and night — to deal with a rapidly failing water system. Water service eventually was shut off Tuesday morning, and gradually was turned back on Tuesday night. Still, not everyone received full pressure at 8: The status of repairs trickled out through news releases, in local TV broadcasts, and online, where Facebook pages for the police department, city, and Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce provided as much information as possible.
But they also performed a virtual crowdcontrol in fielding a volley of critical comments from agitated residents. A wide range of responses flooded government social pages — some were innocuous, wondering why the water was shut off; others were looking to the city for accountability. About a half hour later, all comments on the post were removed by a page administrator, and shortly after that the post was deleted. An update 7 hours earlier had been similar, but left out the part about defending city employees. What message does the quick post-and-delete send to residents?
In an era where news is increasingly consumed through social platforms, should there be a higher expectation for these types of public communications, or do you consider it a passing fad?

Always have the right tools for the job before you start!
The more sets you make, the cheaper the project becomes! Before the fun starts, place the circle attachment on your woodburning tool and plug it in. Set it to the highest setting and give it a chance to get good and hot before you use it. While your tool is heating up, start sanding down the edges to get rid of any splinters. Depending on how dramatic they are, grab a medium or heavy grit sandpaper to knock them down.
Woodburning kit; circle attachment; saw To start, I stopped in at our local Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts store with a 60 percent off coupon I found online and purchased a woodburning kit with a circle attachment. They were more than accommodating, and the process took hardly any time at all! You can really go about the burning process two ways: Your first option would be to just freehand the dots. Your other option would be to use a guide so that your marks are nice and even on every side.
I did this by deconstructing a clothespin and setting them up along the corners. Holding the tool straight up and down so that the circle attachment sits flush with the wood , I nestled it right up against both sides of the clothespins and marked my corners. I finished out the remaining dots by freehand. See the photo below:. A handy little tidbit to remember when marking the sides of your die: The opposite sides will always add up to 7. So, 6 is opposite 1, 5 is opposite 2, and 3 is opposite 4. If your die is sitting flat on the table with 3 side on top, the surrounding side numbers should read, in order counterclockwise: The game consists of 13 rounds.
In each round, you roll the dice and then score the roll in one of 13 categories. You must score once in each category. To paint, cover portions of the sides of your block with small dot labels. Once the paint is dry, remove the stickers to reveal the numbers. Finish by spraying with a protective acrylic sealer. And, oh, maybe let Dad win a few rounds on Sunday.

UOI offices are being set up above the store, after the upper level was gutted and restored. The clothing store even has its own photo studio, where shoots are done for the website.
The restoration of the UOI building started 3 years ago, and the classic charm is now being brought back to the rest of the space. Many historical treasures have been uncovered throughout the process, and Brady plans to showcase the antiques upstairs against a backdrop of huge exposed brick archways and tin ceilings. Brady has a collection of bottles that were found, circa s, that he guesses were used for moonshine during the Prohibition. An old city parking meter is also now part of the decor.
Young Brylee sits at a computer in one of the offices, working on a sandwich. With the confidence of a 6-year-old who has a business bearing her name, she announces her future plans.
