A tornado siren in Oakland County. (Oakland Press file photo)
The siren will sound across Michigan at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19th.
That would be a tornado siren and its only a drill, which is a part of Michigans Severe Weather Awareness Week.
Sara Stoddard, Oakland County chief of emergency management, said this week works great as an educational tool.
This program is geared toward educating individuals about severe weather safety and the Oakland County Outdoor Warning System, said Stoddard. Oakland County wants to provide accurate timely warnings to everyone to help save lives. Oakland County has 275 outdoor warning sirens, that are intended to inform people who are outdoors of inclement weather in or approaching Oakland County.

Stoddard said she encourages schools and businesses to test their emergency preparedness plans and tornado drills in conjunction with the 1 p.m. statewide test on Wednesday.
Oakland County Homeland Security Division will sound the sirens, said Stoddard. In the event there is inclement weather in or around Oakland County at 1 p.m., the test will be canceled,
If the test is cancelled, it will be rescheduled for Thursday at 1 p.m.
To be ready for a tornado includes:
 Identify the lowest place to take cover during a tornado. If a basement does not exist, find an interior hallway away from windows, doors, and outside walls.
 Go under something sturdy such as a workbench or stairwell when taking shelter in the basement or designated spot.
 Conduct regular tornado drills. Make sure each household member knows where to go and what to do in the event of a tornado.
Tornadoes can occur during any time of the year, but are especially common during the late spring and early summer months, according to Michigan State Police.
Tornadoes can develop rapidly, with little or no warning, said Capt. Chris A. Kelenske, Deputy State Director of Emergency Management and Homeland Security and commander of the Michigan State Police/ Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division. Due to their unpredictable nature, we must be ready well in advance. Were asking residents and businesses to take a few extra steps during the week to ensure theyre prepared.
For more information about being safe before, during and after a tornado, follow the Michigan Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division on Twitter at @MichEMHS or go to michigan.gov/miready.
Emergency preparedness information is also available at ready.gov/tornadoes.
We (Oakland County) have a great deal of information related to weather emergencies and preparedness efforts on our websites at oakgov.com/homelandsecurity, said Stoddard.

CRESTVIEW, Fla. (WKRG) — A Walton County man has been arrested for a Saturday night rampage in Crestview.
The rampage caused more than $100,000 in damage to a liquor store under construction at the Crestview Walmart and to construction equipment.
Around 9:10 p.m., police say 32-year-old Mathew Horace Jones of Freeport used a forklift to damage the building under construction.
According to police, Jones allegedly broke into the fenced-in construction site using a JCB extendable forklift parked at the job site.
The building under construction was destroyed. Additionally, the suspect damaged a city fire hydrant and a 2-inch water meter worth about $3,200.
Crestview Police received calls that the suspect was “throwing cinder blocks off the scaffolding in the construction zone.”
According to a building contractor, the damage included $40,000 in scaffolding and materials, $15,000 in block and mortar, a $15,000 forklift, a $7,500 mixer, $1,500 in mud pans and $4,000 in damaged fencing.
The suspect also caused about $60,000 in labor to clean and rebuild the site.
When Crestview Police Officers arrived on the scene, Jones aimed the forklift toward officers. The officers stopped Jones at gunpoint and were able to detain him.
Jones stated his name was “Alice Wonderland” and said he was told to commit the offenses by a hookah-smoking caterpillar.
Crestview Police Sgt. Don Howe said, “the defendant stated Walmart was building a place to sell alcohol and he had a problem with it.”
The suspect was on probation but is now charged with felony grand theft, use of a motor vehicle to damage property of another in excess of $1,000, criminal mischief with damage greater than $1,000, and violation of felony probation.

Question: Homicide charge dismissed in cyclist’s death after lawyers argue Washington state troopers made false statements

As a result of the botched investigation, the woman who crashed into and killed a bicyclist on New Year’s Day last year will no longer face a charge of vehicular homicide.
The woman who crashed into and killed a bicyclist on New Year’s Day last year on Highway 2 in Eastern Washington will no longer face a vehicular homicide charge after defense attorneys successfully argued that State Patrol troopers made false statements in affidavits to obtain search warrants.
As a result of the botched investigation, the Spokane County Prosecutor’s Office did not oppose a request in December to dismiss the vehicular homicide charge against Melissa A. Paul, 28, with prejudice, meaning it cannot refile those charges against her in the future.
“Instead of saying they lied, that the information in the affidavit was wrong, (prosecutors) dismissed it,” Assistant Public Defender Anna Nordtvedt said. “I would expect that it would at least be investigated because, certainly, the video does not show what is reflected in the affidavit.”
State Patrol spokesman Trooper Jeff Sevigney said his office learned that the case had been dismissed under allegations of false statements by troopers only after a reporter’s inquiry Friday.
“We will be following up with the prosecutor’s office next week to determine what happened in the matter,” he said.
Around 4 a.m. Jan. 1, 2017, Paul’s 2004 Toyota 4Runner drove deep onto the shoulder of westbound Highway 2 near Flint Road. The SUV then struck 44-year-old Ty M. Olds, who was either riding or walking next to a bicycle, near the Rusty Moose Bar and Grill.
The collision forced Olds’ body into and partially through the Toyota’s windshield, and he was declared dead at the scene.
Nordtvedt said she never learned why Olds was riding or walking with a bicycle at 4 a.m.
Trooper Joe Leibrecht initially responded to the wrong location but eventually located the damaged 4Runner about 30 minutes after the collision. Troopers Robert Spencer and Troy Corkins later arrived to assist the investigation.
Also inside the SUV was a passenger Stephan A. Goodwin. Troopers reported finding baggies with small amounts of both methamphetamine and cocaine in the car and later charged Goodwin with felony possession with intent to distribute.
When the troopers asked Paul to undergo field sobriety tests, the case began to fall apart.
According to charging documents, Leibrecht noted that Paul missed one step in the “walk and turn” test. The documents say Trooper Spencer later conducted a second test, and she again missed a step in the “walk and turn” test.
The troopers then had Paul blow into a portable device that showed Paul had a blood alcohol content of 0.067 percent. The legal limit to drive is 0.08 percent.
A WSP sergeant then “asked Trooper Spencer to complete a blood warrant for Paul.”
Paul and Goodwin were booked into the Spokane County Jail, and both were initially held on $150,000 bonds. Paul later had her bond reduced to $30,000, but she served three months in jail and temporarily lost custody of a child, Nordtvedt said.
“I just got into the case late in the game,” Nordtvedt said, noting she assisted another public defender, John Whaley. “Then I watched the video. They have her in the affidavit wobbling and missing steps. She did perfectly, not just once, but twice.”
The video also contains audio of the troopers discussing how well Paul performed on the tests.
“One says that he does not see any impairment, that he thought he smelled alcohol, but doesn’t think it was her,” Nordtvedt wrote. The troopers “decided that based on the lack of impairment” the portable breath test “would not be administered.”
But they later gave Paul the test anyway.
“The affidavit does not state that a trooper shoved a PBT machine in Ms. Paul’s face without cause to administer the test, and also fails to mention that the trooper did not inform Ms. Paul that the test was purely voluntary,” Nordtvedt wrote.
At one point, one of the troopers says on the video: “I don’t know how I am going to get a warrant,” she wrote.
“One only need view the body camera of Trooper Leibrecht … to see that there are numerous false statements and omissions in the affidavit in support of the blood warrant,” Nordtvedt wrote.
She filed a motion to dismiss the case in November, and Deputy Spokane County Prosecutor Katherine McNulty did not object. Superior Court Judge James Triplet dismissed the case on Dec. 19.
“Because impairment cannot be established by the probable cause affidavit, the warrant for blood is therefore invalid,” Triplet wrote. “Aside from impairment, there are no other grounds to support further action.”

CPD moves to fire officer accused of lying in Darius Pinex shooting

Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson has moved to fire an officer who shot and killed a man during a South Side traffic stop in 2011, and then allegedly lied about the circumstances to investigators.
Johnson filed the motion to terminate on Friday, about six months after the Independent Police Review Authority recommended Officer Raoul Mosqueda for firing in the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Darius Pinex on Jan. 11, 2011.
The case now falls before the Chicago Police Board, which has the final say on police firings.
Mosqueda, who was stripped of police powers in February and suspended without pay over the weekend, could not immediately be reached for comment.
In February, IPRA released a report saying Mosqueda provided false testimony about the Englewood shooting several times throughout the investigation, and in subsequent depositions and trial.
Though IPRA found Mosqueda lied, the agency ultimately ruled that “there is insufficient evidence in the record to prove by a preponderance that [Mosqueda’s] use of deadly force was excessive and outside of the Use of Force Model,” the report said.
Mosqueda said he and his partner, Gildardo Sierra, curbed the Oldsmobile Aurora in the 1100 block of West Marquette because the car matched the description broadcast over police radio of a car possibly involved in a shooting that other officers tried to stop about three hours earlier in a different police district.
The officers said they fired at Pinex, the driver, because he tried to drive away and was endangering their lives. Pinex was shot four times, and he died at the scene.
In trial and deposition testimony, Sierra said that although he didn’t see Pinex’s vehicle commit any traffic violations before it was curbed, Mosqueda “was adamant that the vehicle was wanted for a shooting from another district,” according to IPRA’s findings.
Though the agency did ultimately decide Mosqueda should lose his job for lying, some of his questionable testimony could not be definitively proven false, IPRA said. “[Mosqueda’s] inability to definitively recall [Sierra’s] position in relation to [Pinex’s] vehicle, although dissatisfying and perhaps unconvincing, is still plausible in light of the quickly evolving tense circumstances in which these kinds of incidents unfold.”
Sierra resigned from the department in August 2015. Pinex’s mother, Gloria Pinex, filed a federal lawsuit against the city and two officers.
City attorneys had previously said police radio dispatch recordings from the night of the shooting would have been “recycled a long time ago,” but a recording later surfaced.
Confronted with the recording, Mosqueda admitted it did not contain the specifics about the car he initially claimed it did.
A jury concluded that the two officers were justified in their actions, but in January 2016, U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang reversed that decision, saying a lawyer for the city, Jordan Marsh, intentionally misled the court when he concealed the recording. Marsh later resigned.
The finding led the city to commission an exhaustive review of its law department’s civil rights division, and the City Council eventually reached a $2.4 million settlement with Pinex’s family.

Question: Trinidad and Tobago's Newsday : newsday.co.tt :

Father of drowned toddler granted $75,000 bail
by Shane Superville Tuesday, August 15 2017
THERE was a brief uproar in the Port of Spain Magistrate’s Eighth Court yesterday as relatives of Atiba Gorkin, the father of 3-year-old Josiah Messi Gorkin who drowned during a family outing to the Chaguaramas boardwalk last month, expressed their outrage at an objection to bail by a prosecutor.
Gorkin appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Maria Busby Earle- Caddle charged with manslaughter arising out of the death of his son.
His attorney Samuel Pete Thomas requested that his client be granted bail as he was the bread-winner of his family and was struggling to come to terms with his son’s death. He said Gorkin’s experience has been made even more traumatic since his arrest last Tuesday.
“Your worship while my client may have had matters before the court in the past, these matters have been resolved and all but two were ruled in his favour.
“He is employed with the Port-of Spain City Corporation.
“He is still in a state of grief and shock and I am making this bail application so that he has the opportunity to catch himself.” However Prosecutor Inspector Dillon objected to the bail application and suggested that if granted, Gorkin may use the opportunity to interfere with witnesses.
Several of his relatives who were in the public gallery expressed their discontent prompting Earle-Caddle to intervene.
“Listen if you all don’t know how to behave in this court, well then I suggest you don’t stay here for the remainder of the proceedings,” she said. In response to Dillon’s objections, Thomas argued the offence was bailable and said the claims of potential witness interference were baseless.
Earle-Caddle granted Gorkin bail in the sum of $75,000 and he is expected to reappear in court on September 11.

Question: How Trump Can Keep His Vows on Opioids and Infrastructure

Photo
President Trump has correctly identified two big challenges that Americans want him to tackle this year — the opioid epidemic and the country’s dilapidated and overstretched infrastructure.
Mr. Trump promised to address these vexing issues last year, too, but made almost no progress. Perhaps this year he will take them seriously because he and his party want to impress voters ahead of the November elections. If so, there are many good ideas the White House and Congress ought to consider.
The Opioid Crisis
This is a daunting epidemic that has steadily gotten worse. Drug overdose deaths nearly doubled in 10 years, to more than 64,000 in 2016, a large majority of them from heroin and other opioids.
“My administration is committed to fighting the drug epidemic and helping get treatment for those in need, for those who have been so terribly hurt,” Mr. Trump said in his State of the Union address. “The struggle will be long, and it will be difficult — but, as Americans always do, in the end, we will succeed, we will prevail.”
Advertisement Continue reading the main story
Mr. Trump doesn’t have to look far to figure out what has to be done. His Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis released a detailed report in November on this very issue. One recommendation was for the government to increase access to substance abuse treatment. The administration could do so by demanding that health insurance companies cover such care. Federal law already requires insurers to cover addiction treatment and other mental health services, but many do not include those services in their networks of doctors and hospitals, according to a recent report. The commission said the administration and Congress should give the Department of Labor the authority to penalize insurance companies that do not adequately cover addiction treatment. The president should also ask Congress to dedicate more money for treatment. But that’s unlikely since the White House is reportedly considering slashing the budget of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, which coordinates the federal government’s activities in this area.

The commission also called on the government and insurers to encourage greater use of opioid alternatives like physical therapy and nonaddictive painkillers. Some doctors and hospitals have been moving in this direction. But experts say many health care providers are still prescribing opioids when they ought to be using alternative treatments. That’s because government programs and private insurers do not cover these alternative services and drugs. Other areas the government ought to focus on include cracking down on drug trafficking and the delivery of potent opioids, like fentanyl, through the postal system.

Question: Subway paleontology: LA construction unearths fossil trove

LOS ANGELES — As part of the crew digging a subway extension under the streets of Los Angeles, Ashley Leger always keeps her safety gear close by.
When her phone buzzes, she quickly dons a neon vest, hard hat and goggles before climbing deep down into a massive construction site beneath a boulevard east of downtown.
Earth-movers are diverted, and Leger gets on her hands and knees and gently brushes the dirt from a spot pointed out by a member of her team. Her heart beats faster because there's a chance she'll uncover what she calls "the big find."
Leger is a paleontologist who digs for fossils in the middle of a city rather than an open plain or desert. She works for a company contracted by Los Angeles transportation officials to keep paleontologists on hand as workers extend a subway line to the city's west side.
"They're making sure that they're recovering every single fossil that could possibly show up," Leger said of her team of monitors. "They call me anytime things are large and we need to lead an excavation."
Since work on the extension began in 2014, fossilized remains have routinely turned up from creatures that roamed the grasslands and forests that covered the region during the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago.
They include a partial rabbit jaw, mastodon tooth, camel foreleg, bison vertebrae, and a tooth and ankle bone from a horse.
But the discovery that still makes Leger shake her head in disbelief came about a year ago, shortly after construction began on the project's second phase. She was at home getting ready for bed when a call came in from one of her monitors.
"It looks big," he told her.
The next morning, Leger knelt at the site and recognized what appeared to be a partial elephant skull.
It turned out to be much more. After 15 hours of painstaking excavation, the team uncovered an intact skull of a juvenile mammoth.
"It's an absolute dream come true for me," said Leger, who spent the previous decade at a South Dakota mammoth site with no discoveries even close to the size of the one in Los Angeles. "It's the one fossil you always want to find in your career."
California's stringent environmental laws require scientists to be on hand at certain construction sites.
Paleontologists have staffed all L.A. subway digs beginning in the 1990s, when work started on the city's inaugural line, said Dave Sotero, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Paying for the paleontologist staff from Cogstone Resource Management is factored into the project's cost, he said. When scientists are brought in to see what crews might have unearthed, work on the project continues, albeit in a different location.
"Our crews try to be as mindful as possible to help them do their jobs. We get out of their way," Sotero said, adding that when the mammoth skull was uncovered, construction workers helped deliver it to the mouth of the site.
From there, the skull was hauled a mile or so to Los Angeles' La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, home to one of America's most fossil-rich sites.
Assistant curator Dr. Emily Lindsey called it a "pretty remarkable find," noting that while thousands of dire wolf and saber-toothed cat remains have been uncovered in L.A., there have been only about 30 mammoths.
A few hundred pounds and the size of an easy chair, the skull is especially rare because both tusks were attached. It's being studied and is available for public viewing inside the museum's glass-walled Fossil Lab.
With a nod to Hollywood, the 8- to 12-year-old Colombian mammoth was named Hayden, for the actress Hayden Panettiere, featured in the TV series "Nashville" and "Heroes."
The Cogstone monitor at the construction site had been watching her on television before spotting the speck of bone that turned out to be the intact skull.
Similar endeavours have turned up subterranean treasures during digs in other cities.
Workers at a San Diego construction site found fossils including parts of a mammoth and a grey whale and multiple layers of ancient seashells.
Last year, crews working on a development near Boston's seaport uncovered a 50-foot (15-meter) wooden boat possibly dating as far back as the late 18th century.
Lindsey praised California's efforts to ensure science and urban development overlap, while bemoaning what bygone treasures may have been lost before the regulations went into place in the early 1970s.
"Most of the past is below the ground, so you're only going to find it when you dig," she said. "As the city grows, I'm sure we'll find more exciting fossil material."

CBS Local — Paleontologists say that “the force” is strong with a newly discovered fossil in Idaho. The 245 million-year-old remnants of a prehistoric horseshoe crab have been named after the infamous Star Wars character, Darth Vader.
Researchers from New Mexico and Colorado named the four-inch-long fossil Vaderlimulus tricki after noting how much the crab looked like the helmet of the sci-fi villain.
“Vaderlimulus… has unusual body proportions that give it an odd appearance,” study author Allan Lerner of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science said in a press release.
The out-of-this-world fossil reportedly comes from the Mesozoic Era, when the landmass that’s now present-day Idaho actually had a coastline. While many crab fossils discovered are much older than the Vaderlimulus — some at least 470 million-years-old — scientists believe this Vader-shaped creature belongs to the Austrolimulidae family of crab, which is now extinct.
IMPORTANT NEWS ALERT! A 245-Million-year-old Horseshoe Crab Fossil has been officially named after Star War’s Darth Vader by @NMMNHS– the similarities are uncanny! pic.twitter.com/0miNAUDttN — Daily Planet (@dailyplanetshow) December 5, 2017
The Star Wars-themed name isn’t the first time scientists have reached into a galaxy far, far away for inspiration. Other creatures named for the movie’s characters include the Trigonopterus chewbacca (a tiny weevil discovered in New Guinea) and the Tetramorium jedi (an ant that lives in the rainforest of Madagascar).

Question: A DISCUSSION ON THE PLIGHT ON INDIAN FARMERS

Shri. Sanjay Dalmia, leading philanthropist and industry leader hosted an afternoon for activist and author Kota Neelima’s book Widows of Vidharbha: Making of Shadows, that chronicles the life of 16 widows of Indian farmers. The evening was followed by a panel discussion between Ms. Neelima and Mr.Dalmia offering an insightful perspective. The panel was moderated by senior journalist Ms. Gargi Parsai, who has extensively written on farmers’ suicide, agriculture, food, water resources, rural development, gender and health issues.
They tabled their views on the various development lead policies of the government on farmers. Ms. Kota Neelima said, “The government and political parties deal with farmers like patrons, deciding who does and doesn’t deserve support. However, when it comes to corporate, the same state trusts businessmen with not just massive loans but friendly policy. The question has to be asked: Is it really a democracy where the rich get what they want and the farmers commit suicide because he is invisible to the state?”
Mr. Sanjay Damia talked about the initiatives and contributions by the industry leaders towards the farmers. His recommendations to the governing bodies as well as other fellow Indians looked at enhancing and uplifting the status of farmers in our country. He said, “Farmers’ suicides and government apathy are closely linked to each other. Progressively, governments have, in their quest of appeasing the city denizens and corporate India neglected those who till the land and fill our plates with food.”
Hard loan terms, shifty markets, and zero progress in the technology enhancement of the agricultural sector have rendered the farmer helpless. Even the proposed reserve price is too small a support to offer.
The talk was attended by city’s significant personalities including Ms. Anshu Khanna, Ms. Sushmita Clays, Laxmana Dalmia, Jai Madaan, Parul Mahajan, Amber Paridhi Sahai at the Dalmia House, 9 Tees January Marg, New Delhi.

NEW YORK Bankruptcy for Puerto Rico is looking ever more likely as the clock ticks down toward a May 1 deadline to restructure $70 billion in debt, ramping up uncertainty for anyone betting on returns from the island's widely held U.S. municipal bonds.
When U.S. Congress last year passed the Puerto Rico rescue law dubbed PROMESA, it froze creditor lawsuits against the island so its federally appointed oversight board and creditors could negotiate out of court on the biggest debt restructuring in U.S. municipal history.
The freeze expires on May 1, however, and an extension by Congress is "not going to happen," said a Republican aide to the House Committee on Natural Resources, which is in charge of territory matters.
A round of mediated talks is scheduled to begin on Thursday. But absent an agreement soon, a growing number of analysts say Puerto Rico will seek protection from creditors under PROMESA's court-sanctioned restructuring process, akin to U.S. bankruptcy.
Forbearance deals could let negotiations continue past May 1, but a source directly involved in the talks said avoiding an eventual bankruptcy is "impossible."
The source, who declined to be named because the talks are private, said parties have grown further apart since Governor Ricardo Rossello took office in January.
The negotiating tactics of Rossello and the board have jarred investors who expected more creditor-friendly approaches from both. The board is pushing debt repayment cuts more than double those proposed by former Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla, a populist whose policies had already alienated creditors.
Disparate stakeholders have united to question the legality of a fiscal turnaround blueprint approved by the board, and to resist mediation efforts.
Hector Negroni, whose Fundamental Credit Opportunities fund holds Puerto Rico debt, said he recalled "constructive comments" from Rossello and board members "about protecting the priorities of creditors" during the board's early days. "But their words are not being followed up by their actions," Negroni said.
Bankruptcy is now "the most likely outcome," said Height Securities analyst Ed Groshans, who increased loss projections for bond insurers like MBIA Inc and Assured Guaranty Ltd in an April 3 note.
Elias Sanchez, Rossello's liaison to the board, said the government holds out hope for at least partial compromise. "We feel very confident we can strike some deals by May 1, maybe not all of them," Sanchez said.
The oversight board is committed to pursuing agreements out of court, its spokesman, Francisco Cimadevilla, said. "A transaction is always better than a lawsuit," he said.
But with myriad creditor classes competing for priority, compromise over Puerto Rico - once a rising star of U.S. high-yield muni funds - could be tough.
"The more creditors insist that part of their position is that no one fare better than they do, the more difficult that is to effectuate outside of bankruptcy," said restructuring expert Melissa Jacoby, a professor at the University of North Carolina School of Law.
Puerto Rico is trying to escape a crisis marked by a 45 percent poverty rate and rampant emigration.
Since bankruptcy gives debtors the ability to impose payment cuts over creditor objections, it is seen as a negative for bond markets, Jacoby said.
Trading prices of Puerto Rico's benchmark 2035 general obligation bonds have reflected that concern, falling precipitously in recent weeks.
But risk cuts both ways and Sanchez said the government wants to avoid bankruptcy as much as creditors.
Putting Puerto Rico's fate in the unpredictable hands of a judge "could go really bad for the government too," he said.

Question: Ont. towns struggle to pay for infrastructure

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

As communities age and money for big projects dries up, top municipal officials are saying “something has to give.”
A report on the perspective of chief administrative officers (CAOs) — by Strategy Corp. — found that just as Toronto is struggling to find ways to pay for much-needed infrastructure work, smaller communities, too, are finding it increasingly difficult to come with badly-needed cash.
“You thought Toronto was just having these problems,” said John Matheson, report co-author and a principal at Strategy Corp. “Actually, the report indicates it’s the municipal sector as a whole ... These problems are fairly common across Ontario which is why it’s important people pay attention to them.”
The group interviewed 26 CAOs — the top bureaucrats of towns, counties or cities — to get their views on the future of municipal government. The report focuses on small- to medium-size communities, and was provided exclusively to the Toronto Sun.
The report says CAOs are seeing a gap between what the public expects of local government and what they are prepared to pay for has grown. One participant told the authors “something has to give.”
The report says councillors in those communities are hesitant to raise taxes or create new revenue streams to pay for the work which isn’t surprising, he added.
“There’s a lot of infrastructure put in the ground between 50 and 75 years ago,” Matheson said, adding that years of deferring infrastructure work are catching up with communities.
The CAOs also expressed concern about the rise of a divisive brand of populism in city halls across Ontario. A number of councillors are mimicking U.S. President Donald Trump’s brash style, often publicly attacking bureaucrats and questioning their work.
“(Municipal governments) are not designed to have a somebody on council who is structurally opposing everything,” he said. “It’s contributing to only half of them saying they had good relations with their councils.”
The interviews used for the report were conducted confidentially. The findings offer a rare, unvarnished view of major issues taking place in these towns and cities, said Ron Shaw, a senior advisor with Strategy Corp who co-authored the report.
Shaw, a former CAO with over 30 years experience in Stratford and Kincardine, said top municipal bureaucrats don’t want to be critical of their communities publicly.
“They’re not going to say much different than what their councillors may be saying,” he added. “They want to make sure they represent the views of the municipality. Speaking confidentially, they can speak to us ... and give honest, open feedback.”
Releasing the report at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s annual meeting in Ottawa this week will help bring the concerns of the CAOs into focus, he said.
Matheson added that the concerns raised in the report will need to be addressed through a variety of means, including the provision of more cash to municipalities.

The city needs to find millions of dollars to separate rail from roads in the southern suburb now that the Barrhaven Rail Safety Program has council’s endorsement.
The first step is to free up money in the 2018 municipal budget, possibly in the $3-million range, to order environmental assessments for the crossings at Woodroffe Avenue, the southwest Transitway, and Fallowfield, Merivale and Jockvale roads.
The next step is to convince the upper-tier governments and Via Rail to help cover the construction tabs.
Building overpasses or underpasses at five rail crossings could cost $430 million, but that estimate is highly preliminary and doesn’t take into account the complete scope of work that might be required.
Council’s vote Wednesday means the city has a general blueprint to do the work, including a priority list for the crossings.
Woodroffe Avenue and the southwest Transitway — the site of the fatal collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via Rail train in 2013 — are at the top of the list. The city would build a road and Transitway overpass there.
Jockavale Road is last on the priority list, but the city wants to advance a study in the shorter term to build a $6-million pedestrian and cycling underpass at the intersection.
Via wants to increase the number of trains passing through Barrhaven as part of its regular service plans, but it also has dreams of running additional trains through the corridor through a high-frequency train proposal to the federal government.
Council puts more money into asset repairs, trying to close a major funding gap
Some councillors batted around the idea of a separate tax to pay for asset repairs, but there was no way an infrastructure levy was going to fly in the current political climate.
Kitchissipi Coun. Jeff Leiper brought up a staff position from 2012 that suggested an infrastructure levy might be required if there isn’t more upper-government funding for asset maintenance.
City treasurer Marian Simulik said she doesn’t support an infrastructure levy, largely based on history.
A levy was attempted during Larry O’Brien’s mayoral term but it fizzled out.
The levy “created too much pressure on your taxpayers,” Simulik told council Wednesday.
The city is short $70 million to keep the assets in good condition. It will try making up the difference over the next 10 years.
Council voted in favour of spending $10.5 million more in the 2018 budget on asset maintenance and $7.8 million annually starting in the 2019 budget for nine years. There will also be inflationary increases to the spending.
College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who’s skeptical about the city’s approach to funding repairs, voted against the strategy.
Watson highlights ‘extraordinary’ efforts by city on drug overdose prevention, calls for sustained effort
Mayor Jim Watson promoted the “extraordinary” efforts by the city to prevent opioid drug overdoses, announcing a larger effort this summer during the festival season.
Watson said the health unit will be working with festival organizers again to distribute “party safe information.” The city ramps up its public awareness campaign about substance abuse around this time of year before the festival season begins.
Ottawa Public Health learned this week that it will receive $350,000 more in base funding from the provincial government for opioid response programs.
“We’re ready to turn this funding into support on the ground,” Watson said.
All Ottawa firetrucks now carry naloxone kits and the city is preparing to train police on administering the drug antidote.
Watson said more help from the federal and provincial governments is “badly needed.”
The city will continue to work with community agencies on public education.
“Ongoing and sustained efforts will be required,” Watson said.
Late-night patios get consideration for Canada Day weekend
Restaurant patios on city sidewalks have a shot at staying open until 4 a.m. during the Canada Day weekend.
According to the bylaw, patios on city-owned property and within 30 metres of a residential zone must close by 11 p.m. No one can be on the patio after that time.
The Fox and Feather on Elgin Street asked to extend its patio hours until 2 a.m., instead of the mandated 11 a.m. cutoff, between June 30 and July 2.
Council on Wednesday agreed to the pub’s request and it also gave the planning department the authority to assess any other requests from businesses with patios on city-owned property. The drop-dead closing time for a patio would be 4 a.m., but only for the Canada Day weekend.
Alcohol at licensed establishments can only be served until 2 a.m. under provincial law.

Question: Tesco stop selling baby sleep aids linked to 12 deaths

Sleep aids linked to the deaths of 12 babies have been pulled from Tesco shelves.
eBay has also withdrawn the items from sale, but other British supermarkets and high street retailers as well online firms are still selling the baby sleep positioners.
Tesco and eBay say they have stopped selling the baby sleep positioners, which have been linked to 12 deaths in the US, with Mothercare reportedly following suit.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had previously advised parents not to use the products, and renewed its advice this week, re-emphasising its warning that the pillows can cause newborns to suffocate.
The sleep positioners, also called “nests” or “anti-roll” cushions, are supposed to help babies to get to sleep, but instead there are fears that they could cut off a baby’s oxygen.
According to the FDA, the deaths occurred when babies rolled from their sides onto their fronts before they stopped breathing.
The Lullaby Trust (www.lullabytrust.org.uk), a cot death charity which advises the NHS, offers an advice sheet which states: “There is no need to use any type of equipment or rolled up blankets to keep your baby in one position unless you have been advised by a health professional for a specific medical condition.
“It is much safer for your baby to be in their cot with just the sheets or blankets, and no extras which could be pulled over their face or cause an accident.”

Deaths from strangulation show safety standards are inadequate, say US researchers.
Child are at risk of strangulation, according to the study. APTN
Window blinds with cords should be completely banned to prevent children being strangled, a new study has recommended.
Between 1990 and 2015, nearly 17,000 young children in the US were hurt by window blinds and almost 300 died, according to the study.
Most deaths occur when children become entangled or strangled by the cords.
Although the US study found no rise or fall in the number of child deaths or injuries from window blinds, it says the fact they are still occurring means current safety standards are inadequate.
Dr Gary Smith has called for a ban. APTN
Dr Gary Smith, one of the lead authors of the study, said: "A curious child can quickly get entangled in a window blind cord. This can lead to strangulation within minutes, and the parent may not hear a thing because the child often can't make a sound while this is happening."
The research, carried out by the US Child Injury Prevention Alliance, the Ohio State University and the Nationwide Children's Hospital, was published in the journal Pediatrics.
Researchers concluded: "Despite existing voluntary safety standards for window blinds, these products continue to pose an injury risk to young children.
"Although many of the injuries in this study were non-fatal and resulted in minor injuries, cases involving window blind cord entanglements frequently resulted in hospitalisation or death.
"A mandatory safety standard that eliminates accessible window blind cords should be adopted."
The study's results were based on data from 100 A&E departments in the US, which were used to make national estimates.
It noted that the dangers window blind cords pose to children had been highlighted as long ago as 1945.
"It is unacceptable that children are still dying from window blind cord strangulation," said Dr Smith. "We have known about this problem since the 1940s
"It is time to eliminate the hazard."
Cords have caused thousands of injuries. APTN
EU regulations introduced in 2014 mean new blinds must be "safe by design" or be supplied with appropriate child safety devices installed, such as ones that break under pressure.
However, many UK homes are still fitted with older blinds that do not meet these standards.
Research by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents shows that there have been at least 21 deaths across the UK due to looped blind cords since 2010.
In 2016, 16-month-old Bronwyn Taylor died after getting entangled in a window blind cord at her grandparents' home.
In 2010, Leah Edwards was strangled to death by a blind cord while in her cot next to her 17-month-old twin brother.

Question: Face of Defense: Marine Trains for High-Intensity Competition

By Kaitlin Kelly, Marine Corps Systems Command
MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va., Aug. 14, 2017 — Marine Corps Sgt. Justin Odom is one fit Marine. Odom, the training noncommissioned officer for Marine Corps Systems Command here, has earned a spot at the Corps’ 3rd Annual High Intensity Tactical Training Athlete Championship, scheduled to take place at Camp Pendleton, California, Aug. 28-31.
The event brings together the top male and female tactical athletes from each region to compete to be the best tactical athlete in the Marine Corps. Competitors are challenged on their mental and physical capabilities through strength and conditioning activities that mirror the seven foundational movements in the HITT program. All activities support combat readiness by increasing Marines’ physical capabilities.
Odom earned his place at the preliminaries here this summer, where he participated in a number of events, including a prone three-cone drill, prone agility drill, kneeling power ball throw, board jump, 25-yard dash and 300-yard shuttle. Although he signed up two days before the competition and had little time to prepare, Odom came out on top.
“I wasn’t really nervous at all, but did struggle a little with the cone drill because I hadn’t practiced agility drills since my high school days,” he said. “But I still tried my best and stayed focused.”
Odom was selected to represent Quantico as the top male competitor alongside the installation’s top female Marine, Maj. Kerry Hogan from Manpower and Reserve Affairs.
“I was very proud he wanted to participate in the competition and execute the course,” said Odom’s supervisor, Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Lodovico. “I hope he looks forward to the big competition in California, because the sky is the limit for him.”
High-Intensity Training
Through the Force Fitness Instructor program, the Corps seeks to promote innovative healthy physical fitness alternatives, such as HITT, to enhance operational fitness levels and optimize readiness for all Marines and, in turn, improve physical fitness and Combat Fitness Test scores, and Body Composition Program productivity. The program focuses on flexibility and agility, as well as strength and stamina.
In addition to the command’s PT program, Odom takes part in CrossFit and local competitions, which, he says, help him stay motivated in his career and face any challenges that come his way.
“The competitive nature of CrossFit is rewarding because I get to see my progress as my repetitions increase in weightlifting and my numbers increase in different moves on the board,” he said. “My coach actually heard about the HITT challenge and encouraged me to sign up because of the similarities in both workout routines.”
Odom joined the Corps four years ago, just one year after graduating high school. Physical fitness has always been a priority, and he wanted to serve his country. The Corps allowed him to forge his interests into a career.
“The Marine Corps is the best branch of the military there is,” Odom said.
Up Next: Special Operations
In March, the Florida native completed Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command selection school at Stone Bay, North Carolina. For now, he is in charge of Marine training at MCSC, but will soon head back to Stone Bay for the next portion of MARSOC training.
Working at MCSC is a different type of challenge, Odom said -- one where he gets to work his mind by learning about computers, while staying focused on physical training.
“Sergeant Odom is excellent, motivated and does whatever it takes to get the job done,” Lodovico said. “His job while in MARSOC training and the HITT competition will be to perform the best he can. He really builds upon basic knowledge, and I know what he’s capable of.”
Odom credits his success the physical and mental training he has received in the Corps, as well as the extra workouts he puts in during his off-duty time.
“I think it’s cool that I get to go to California and represent the command and base,” he said. “I love competing; that’s totally my wheelhouse, so I’m pretty excited for it.”

Question: Santana sorry for saying Beyonce is 'not a singer'

Carlos Santana has angered the Beyhive.
The legendary guitarist seemingly dissed Beyonce in an interview with Australian media following the Grammys Sunday night when he said Beyonce was "very beautiful to look at" but "not a singer, singer."
Santana says he was only trying to congratulate Adele on her big win for Album of the Year when he made the statement.
In the interview, Santana told the Australian Associated Press, "I think that Adele won because she can sing sing...With all respect to our sister Beyonce, Beyonce is very beautiful to look at and it's more like modelling kind of music – music to model a dress – she's not a singer, singer, with all respect to her."
He added: Adele “doesn’t bring all the dancers and props, she can just stand there and she just stood there and sang the song and that’s it, and this is why she wins.”
That statement did not go over well with the Beyhive.
"The fact that Carlos Santana said those comments after he's performed on stage with Beyonce at halftime and witnessed her talent is baffling," said one Twitter user.
"Carlos Santana is TRASH about those @Beyonce comments! Especially since he's one (won) all his Grammys for someone else's vocals!" said another.
Carlos Santana is TRASH about those @Beyonce comments! Especially since he's won all his Grammys for someone else's vocals!🚮 — Dominick Deveraux (@Sir_Deveraux) February 15, 2017
Santana clarified his stance on Facebook Tuesday , writing that his “intent was to congratulate Adele” and that his comment about Beyonce “was regretfully taken out of context.” He adds that he has “the utmost respect” for Beyonce.
"She deserves all the accolades that come her way."
-With files for the Associated Press

Solange Knowles has vented her anger at Beyonce being overlooked for the Album of the Year gong at this year's Grammys.
In a series of now-deleted tweets, the 30-year-old sister of Beyonce criticised the Record Academy for giving the night's most prestigious award to only two black artists since 1997.
Solange wrote: "There have only been two black winners in the last 20 years for album of the year. There have been over 200 black artist[s] who have performed."
Solange's statement was factually inaccurate as Lauryn Hill, OutKast, the late Ray Charles, and Herbie Hancock have all won the gong over the last 20 years.
However, the singer-songwriter continued with her rant after Beyonce's Lemonade album was overlooked in favour of 25 by Adele.
She said: "Create your own committees, build your own institutions, give your friends awards, award yourself, and be the gold you wanna hold my g's. (sic)"
Solange's criticism of the annual awards bash came after she came out in support of a Tumblr post from Grammy boycotter Frank Ocean, who took aim at the event's producer Ken Ehrlich and writer David Wild.
Solange wrote "Wuddup frank (sic)" next to a post which read: "I'm one of the best alive and if you're up for a discussion about the cultural bias and general nerve damage the show you produce suffers from then I'm all for it."

And Solange's obvious frustration was given further credence by Adele during her acceptance speech for the Album of the Year gong, when she admitted she thought Beyonce deserved the title.
The London-born star said: "I can't possibly accept this award, and I'm very humbled, and I'm very grateful and gracious."
"But my artist of my life is Beyoncé and this album, for me, the Lemonade album, was just so monumental."

Question: Did the Nunes memo undermine its own core argument?

Beyond the controversy over the timing, wisdom and true purpose of its Friday release, the Republican memo alleging anti-Trump corruption at the FBI and Justice Department contains one remarkable detail that undermines its core assertion.
Scroll for more content...
In the first two sentences of the document's final paragraph, its authors note that the application to monitor former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page included a reference to another former campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos.
It goes on to confirm, in the next sentence, earlier reports that the same "information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok."
That the Papadopoulos "information" also played some role in helping to secure the FBI's desired warrant throws into doubt claims by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and other Republicans that law enforcement officials leaned too heavily on the contents of a dossier funded, indirectly, by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
The timeline here is key.
The FISA application, under protracted scrutiny in the memo, was granted in October 2016. But, as confirmed here by Nunes himself, a potentially related investigation had begun months earlier, in July. And while the memo states that "there is no evidence of any cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos," it does not articulate the degree to which evidence gleaned from the Papadopoulos probe weighed on the court's decision to grant the Page warrant. Nor does it address whether that intelligence might have corroborated details from the dossier, compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
On Thursday afternoon, Republican Matt Gaetz, a vocally pro-Trump Florida congressman who hasn't seen the underlying FISA application and related materials, speculated in an interview with CNN that the "entire universe of Papadopoulos claims" might well have been enough to win over a FISA court judge -- at first.
"It may have been sufficient to start it," he said. "But it certainly would not have been a basis for the intelligence gathering and the continuation of that investigation."
Maybe so, but even then it remains unclear -- going by the memo's contents -- what precisely investigators presented to the court as they successfully sought three renewals of the initial warrant at hearings after the November 2016 election.
The sum result is a document that falls self-evidently short of proving its heavy and heavily-touted thesis. If Nunes and his allies have been successful at anything here, it is in further muddying the public's view of the ongoing special counsel investigation, and, perhaps in the eyes of the White House, carving out a little more space for a move to end it.

The political row over the memo Donald Trump ordered be released has renewed calls for him to publish his tax returns, in light of the apparent new-found desire for a culture of transparency at the White House. The President’s decision on Friday to approve the declassification of a Republican-authored memo that alleges the Justice Department and FBI inappropriately spied on a member of the Trump campaign, is in stark contrast to his stance on potentially damaging documents on himself.

Defending the decision to release the memo, House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Tuesday: “Transparency can reign supreme.”
Do reporters ever ask Paul Ryan why he's blocking the bill to disclose Trump's tax returns? https://t.co/aJfbWS0oUU — Jonathan Chait (@jonathanchait) December 20, 2017
Trump is the first President in four decades to refuse to publish his tax returns. They are currently under heavy guard by the Inland Revenue Service (IRS). Outgoing IRS Commissioner, John Koskinen, told Politico last year: “It’s in a locked cabinet in a locked room that nobody’s in. You’ll need a key to the room and the cabinet to get it. “We’re in the process of turning that cabinet into a safe. We keep all the returns from every President in there.” During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump claimed he would release his tax returns when they had been “audited”.
In interview I told @AP that my taxes are under routine audit and I would release my tax returns when audit is complete, not after election! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 11, 2016
He has still refused to do so and has not mentioned them since April of last year.

Refused to disclose relationships between the Trump Organisation and foreign businesses But the President has had no such qualms about releasing the GOP memo. Speaking shortly after it was made public, he said:
I think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country... A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that.

Your daily reminder that Trump is the first president elected since Nixon to refuse to release his tax returns, and any payments from Russia remain secret. — Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) February 3, 2018
The memo has been hyped by Republicans for weeks as “worse than Watergate,” but is largely a damp squib and Trump observers see it as an attempt to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s presidential campaign at a time when his investigation zeroes in on key figures in his inner circle. HuffPost’s Jessica Schulberg and Ryan J. Reilly wrote: “The resulting document is boring and tendentious, and it’s hard to understand why Republicans were so excited to get it out and why the FBI and Democrats were so determined to keep it secret. It’s such a dud that it was probably more valuable to Republicans when it was still a secret document.” Despited ‘UNCLASSIFIED’ being dramatically stamped across the bottom of the memo, it actually contains virtually nothing that was not already known. It contains inaccurate statements full of mischaracterisations and key omissions and its central premise, that there was an anti-Republican conspiracy within the FBI, is at odds with the fact that the most of the main players it seeks to discredit are themselves Republicans, many of them appointed by Trump himself. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on Friday: “The memorandum raises serious concerns about the integrity of decisions made at the highest levels of the Department of Justice and the FBI to use the Government’s most intrusive surveillance tools against American citizens.” But a tweet from Sanders in 2016 hints at how the sentiments of those surrounding the President can drastically change.
The problem with being a nasty paid liar for a careless con man is that your own tweets come back to haunt you. pic.twitter.com/Gl6qq66grP — Steve Silberman (@stevesilberman) February 3, 2018
FBI Director Christopher Wray sent a message to bureau employees apparently aimed at boosting morale after the memo’s release. “I stand by our shared determination to do our work independently and by the book,” Wray said in the message, excerpts of which were seen by Reuters. MORE ON THE MEMO: The memo focused on court-approved surveillance of Carter Page, the former campaign advisor, and said the FBI used a source who was strongly biased against Trump, former British spy Christopher Steele, to justify the action. It alleged that a dossier of alleged Trump-Russia contacts compiled by Steele, and funded in part by US Democrats, formed an “essential part” of requests to a special court to be allowed to conduct electronic surveillance on Page that began in October 2016. It said the initial application and subsequent renewal applications, signed off on by various senior Justice Department officials, did not mention the link between Steele and the Democrats. It also portrayed Steele as “passionate” about Trump not becoming President. Despite the memo’s charges, neither the focus on Page nor the FBI’s investigation of Trump-Russia ties began with the Steele dossier. Page came to the FBI’s attention as early as 2013, when he met in New York with Russians who were officers of the Kremlin’s foreign intelligence service, sources have said. Despite this, Trump supporters gleefully declared it a victory with some even claiming it was “bigger that Watergate”.
Memo proves everything we've been saying. The Obama administration conspired with the Clinton campaign to abuse the power of government in an effort to to sabotage Trump's campaign.

Damn, you’re terrible at reading comprehension — Leo (@leomontano21) February 2, 2018
The memo acknowledges that the FBI counterintelligence investigation began in July 2016, three months before the request for electronic surveillance on Page, as a result of the activities of another Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat in May 2016 that Russia had political dirt on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, information Australian officials passed to the US government, the New York Times reported in December. “The selective release and politicisation of classified information sets a terrible precedent and will do long-term damage to the Intelligence Community and our law enforcement agencies,” House intelligence committee Democrats said in a statement. House intelligence committee Democrats said they hoped the panel would vote on Monday to release their own memo responding to the allegations. Shah, the White House spokesman, told CNN Trump “would be inclined” to let that memo be released if it clears a security and legal review. Meanwhile, on by Saturday, the whole saga had spawned the entertaining #YoMemoJokes.
