Question: Ont. towns struggle to pay for infrastructure

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: Trudeau calls van attack ‘horrific and senseless’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau makes a statement on the incident involving pedestrians being struck by a van in Toronto, in the Foyer of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his public safety minister are delivering messages of sorrow — but not panic — in the aftermath of a Toronto man’s deadly rampage through city streets in a van.
In an early morning statement, Trudeau said there is no apparent link to terrorism, adding that all Canadians are standing with Toronto as it continues to reel from the attack.

“The events that took place yesterday in Toronto were a senseless attack and a horrific tragedy,” Trudeau said, extending condolences to the victims and thanks to the first responders on the scene.
“They handled this extremely difficult situation with professionalism and bravery. They faced danger without a moment of hesitation, and there is no doubt that their courage saved lives and prevented further injuries.”
Related: Officer’s actions ‘one shining moment’ after Toronto van attack
But while Trudeau says the investigation into the incident is still underway, he says there is no evidence to suggest there is a “national security element” to the situation.
“All Canadians are with Toronto today — in our hearts, in our prayers and in our thoughts.”
Meanwhile, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, who happens to be in Toronto for a meeting with other G7 national security ministers, says the attack has led to “a very large homicide investigation,” with city police at the helm and every level of government taking part.
Goodale thanked other countries, especially the United States, for their condolences and offers of help. And he, too, commended the first responders.
Like Trudeau, he reiterated that the investigation “what happened and why” has only just begun, but sees no reason to draw any links to a national security risk or organized attack.
The @TorontoPolice and first responders faced danger without hesitation today, and I want to thank them for their courage and professionalism. We’ll continue working with our law enforcement partners as the investigation continues. — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) April 24, 2018
The attack began Monday afternoon when a man allegedly drove a van down a busy stretch of sidewalk on Yonge Street in the city’s north end.
Toronto police have arrested 25-year-old Alek Minassian in the incident.
Minassian is due to appear in court later today.
MEDIA ADVISORY:
Alek Minassian, 25
-He will appear in court Tuesday, April 24, 2018
-10 am at 1000 Finch Avenue West court
-Information on charges to be released at that time

Alek Minassian, the 25-year-old man accused of steering a rental van into pedestrians Monday in North Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 15, was charged on Tuesday with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 more of attempted murder.
WATCH LIVE: Justin Trudeau will deliver a statement in Ottawa on the Toronto van attack at 8:25 a.m. ET. https://t.co/l81iAwQmws — Global News Toronto (@globalnewsto) April 24, 2018
Officials confirmed that the event did not involve national security but “definitely looked deliberate.”
Toronto police confirmed Minassian is from Richmond Hill, Ontario, and that he does not have a criminal record. Former classmates described him as socially withdrawn, but not particularly prone to violence when they knew him. He was a special needs student at Thornlea Secondary School in Toronto, according to Reuters.
Minassian graduated from Thornlea in 2011 and apparently attended Seneca College after that, specializing in developing software. All of that information came from an Internet Archive restoration of his now-defunct Facebook page.
However, his profile on the popular social network may have revealed more. Not long after the attack, a Facebook post seemingly from Minassian’s account expressed admiration for online hate groups. The post is gone now, but a Facebook employee reportedly confirmed its authenticity to Buzzfeed News.
“The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!” the post read.
Photo: Lars Hagberg/AFP/Getty Images
“Incel” is an abbreviation of “involuntary celibacy,” or some variation thereof. The word gained traction in recent years in certain online communities to describe men who hold misogynist views stemming from a lack of sexual activity. Reddit banned the site’s large Incels community in 2017.
Elliot Rodger infamously published a manifesto detailing his views on women before killing six people in Isla Vista, California, in 2014. Rodger’s manifesto referenced a lack of sexual attention from women.
Buzzfeed also spoke to a woman who attended elementary school with Minassian. She noted that, as a child, he was prone to tantrums and was known to hit people. The woman did not attend school with him after the age of 10.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the deadly attack Tuesday morning, emphasizing that it did not indicate any terroristic threat towards Canadian national security.
“The events that took place yesterday in Toronto were a senseless attack and a horrific tragedy,” Trudeau said, according to Global News. “On behalf of all Canadians I offer my deepest heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of all those who were killed and we wish a full recovery to those injured and stand with the families and friends of the victims.”

In Connecticut this program is called the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) and is housed under the Department of Social Services (DSS). The state's Community Action Agencies administer the $74M+ program locally in all 169 cities and towns. CAAs are now accepting CEAP applications for the 2017-2018 winter season and expect more applications in the coming weeks, especially as temperatures begin to drop. Homeowners and/or renters may apply, and funds may be used to pay for whatever source of heating residents have in their homes. This includes wood, electric, oil, kerosene, or natural gas. CAAs will certify oil deliveries beginning Wednesday, Nov. 15, for those who heat with oil, propane, and deliverable fuels. May 1, 2018, is the last day households can apply for benefits unless the household is utility heated and has a shut off notice for its primary source of heat. May 15, 2018 is the last day a utility heated household with a shut off notice for its primary source of heat can apply for benefits. Another protection for Connecticut's struggling families is the utility moratorium, or winter hardship, which provides protection for eligible households against heat source shut-offs between November 1st and May 1st. Gas and electric utilities cannot be shut off (summer or winter) if lack of the utility creates a life-threatening situation. If a customer is having trouble paying their utility bills during the winter moratorium period, Community Action Agencies will work with them on affordable utility payment programs, including the Matching Payment Program (MPP) and Below Budget Payment Plans. MPP is a payment incentive program that allows eligible utility customers to maintain year-round electric and gas service and pay an agreed-upon amount each month to pay down the balance on their heating bill. If customers cannot afford the utility payment plan, CAAs work with the customer and can submit a Below Budget Payment Plan based on the household income and expenses.
A CEAP benefit to a household automatically makes that household eligible for weatherization services. So, in addition to heating assistance, CAAs will refer customers to those agencies providing weatherization services, which helps minimize energy-related costs and fuel usage in homes through retrofits and home improvement measures. Additionally, there are funds available this year through the CAA for heating system repair and replacement if such services are deemed necessary and as the amount of funds allocated allow. Lastly, when a customer comes to a CAA for energy assistance, the agency will also assist customers in accessing other benefits for which they may be eligible including SNAP and other food programs, financial counseling, child care, and case management. Connecticut's poorest families struggle each and every year to heat their homes in this a state with one of the highest utility rates in the country; customers many times having to choose between heating and eating or heating and paying for their medicines. CEAP allows them to not only cover high home energy costs and keep warm during the cold winter months, but gives low-income families the opportunity to address other critical, basic needs, rather than having to choose between them. Any resident who needs help paying their heating bill this winter should contact their Community Action Agency immediately.

Question: Killer’s warning: ‘You’re all going to die’

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

THEY'RE the trio of grim videos which show Florida school shooting suspect Nicolas Cruz plotting to become the next mass school killer and make a world to sit up and take notice.
Prosecutors have released the chilling mobile phone videos in which the 19-year-old outlines his intentions of the blood he is about to spill, detailing his plot to kill at least 20 people and saying, "You're all going to die … can't wait."
The three videos released by prosecutors were found on Cruz's mobile phone after the February 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that killed 17 people and injured 17 others when Cruz, armed with an AR-15 style assault rifle, allegedly stormed the school, evading police for about an hour after the shooting stopped.
His mobile phone was taken from him when he was arrested.
In the first video, the teenager wears a baseball cap, and introduces himself.
"My name is Nik and I'm going to be the next school shooter of 2018," he calmly announces.
Then laughs.
He goes on to say that he wants to "kill at least 20 people with an AR-15" and specifies the high school in Parkland.
"You're all going to die," he says, and makes the sound of gunshots.
'THE DAY OF MY MASSACRE SHALL BEGIN'
The videos are undated, but on one he says: "Today is the day. Today it all begins. The day of my massacre shall begin."
He also says: "When you see me on the news, you'll all know who I am," and then laughs. "You're all going to die. … Can't wait."
In another video, Cruz briefly discusses logistics.
"Here's the plan. I'm going to take Uber in the afternoon before 2.40pm," he says.
"I'll go onto the school campus, walk up the stairs, load my bags, and get my AR and start shooting people at the main courtyard and people will die."
School surveillance video has since shown that was almost exactly what happened - except that the suspect arrived at the school at 2.19pm on Valentine's Day.
In the third video, with his camera apparently pointed at the footpath, he talks about his loneliness, anger and hatred.
'I HATE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING'
"I live a lonely life. I live in seclusion and solitude," Cruz says.
"I hate everyone and everything.
"With the power of my AR you will all know who I am.
The plot is outlined in detail on the videos, with Nikolas Cruz saying he would ‘get my AR and start shooting people at the main courtyard and people will die’. Picture: Broward County State Attorney’s Office via AP
"I had enough of being told what to do and when to do.
"I had enough of being told that I'm an idiot and a dumbass. You're all stupid and brainwashed by the political and government programs."
He ends that clip with a reference to a former girlfriend, proclaiming his love for her.
"My love for you, Angie, will never go away," he said. "I hope to see you in the afterlife."
The former Marjory Stoneman Douglas school student is charged with 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder in the attack. His lawyers have repeatedly said he would plead guilty if guaranteed a sentence of life without parole, but prosecutors refuse to waive the death penalty.
The Broward State Attorney's Office released the videos because under Florida law, with few exceptions, evidence becomes public record when it is turned over to the defendant's lawyers as part of the pre-trial discovery process.
The teen's lawyers have said they did not request evidence such as video from inside the building where the massacre happened and autopsy reports so they would not become public and "further hurt and inflame the victims' families and the community".
"This is an awful case and today is more of that awfulness and further shows how severely broken a human being the defendant is," Broward County public defender Howard Finkelstein, whose office is representing Nikolas Cruz, said in a statement.
The suspect spent several years at a school for children with emotional disabilities before being allowed to transfer to Stoneman Douglas. He attended the school for several months before being kicked out. His late mother also called 911 on him almost 20 times over the years.

A hit-and-run killer who celebrated his birthday in prison on social media just three months after being locked up has been labelled “so disrespectful” by the mother of his four-year-old victim.
Aidan McAteer marked his 24th birthday by posting on Instagram an image of a card apparently from fellow inmates in which he is called HMP Birthday Boy.
Violet-Grace Youens
In May, he was jailed for nine years and four months after he drove a stolen vehicle at 80mph in a 30mph zone and hit Violet-Grace Youens and seriously injured her grandmother Angela French, from Golborne, in St Helens.
He left both his victims lying in the road in March this year and within hours was on a plane to Amsterdam before he later gave himself in after his own mother made a public appeal to him to come back to the UK.
The Liverpool Echo reported McAteer had posted more than a dozen images on Instagram since his sentence, which were thought to be made on a mobile phone smuggled into prison.
Bringing a mobile phone into prison or transmitting sounds or images from within a prison using a mobile phone can carry a maximum sentence of two years in prison.
Floral tributes where Violet-Grace Youens was fatally injured in a hit-and-run crash in St Helens
Prison officials are investigating the matter.
Writing on Facebook, Violet-Grace’s mother, Rebecca Youens said: “Well happy birthday to you Aiden Macateer... nice how you are actually alive and can hug your mum and contact friends and family on your birthday.
“My beautiful innocent Violet-Grace who you killed, you child killer, is reduced to ashes ... you are so disrespectful, and obviously do not care what you have done.
“If you had to see the images and have the nightmares I have on a constant basis maybe you might have a slight insight to our pain and suffering!!! Your (sic) not sorry, only sorry you were caught.
“If you must know, I have a big birthday coming up, which I cannot face to celebrate without my baby girl. I just about get through each hour!!! We are eagerly awaiting her headstone, instead of shopping for her school uniform.
“Oh and her birthday is not far away in the autumn ... she would be 5, and settling into Reception class with all her friends. Instead they are traumatised by your actions and scared ‘the bad man will get them too’!!!!”
She added: “You have not learned your lesson ... only a few months in prison and already breaking the rules and disrespecting my daughter who you killed!!!
“You are evil and I hope one day you realise the devastation and carnage you have caused.”
Violet-Grace’s father, Glenn, also wrote on Facebook: “You’ve got no remorse what so ever. You got out of the car and you stepped over Violet’s lifeless body in the road and ran off while other people was running to help her!!!
“While she was in a hospital bed after 3 cardiac arrests and was unable to breathe or her heart beat for herself, you was in Amsterdam “smoking weed to clear your head” what kind of man are you!!!
“I hope MOJ make an example of you and not let us down for having a phone in prison and give you more time than just an extra 3 months as we all have a life sentence, and anything extra you get inside is no less than you deserve.”

Question: Late offer proving beneficial for England, UAB

× Expand Photo courtesy of UAB Athletics. Spain Park alumna Destini England is reaping the benefits of a late offer from UAB, establishing herself as one of the Blazers’ top players.
Destini England spent nearly all her life roaming the outfield grass until her 11th grade year.
That’s when a need arose for the Spain Park High School softball team. At a team camp in the offseason, coach CJ Hawkins looked around and wondered aloud about the Jags’ vacant catching position.
“I’ll do it,” England said.
Being the natural talent she is, England excelled in the role.
“What she brought was speed and versatility,” Hawkins said. “She showed a willingness to take over at catcher, which is not an easy thing.”
England saved the best for last when it came to her high school career. Her dynamic abilities were on full display as she helped lead Spain Park to a runner-up finish at the 2016 state tournament her senior season.
“Destini’s just an incredible athlete,” Hawkins said. “She had a remarkable junior season and we were really excited about her senior year.”
When it was time for England to take the next step in her career, she originally committed to West Florida. UAB had always been a dream destination for England, but the Blazers had yet to extend an offer as of late January. But with National Signing Day approaching, UAB decided to offer England. It didn’t take her long to accept.
“Now I’m here and it’s been fun,” England said following UAB’s game against Alabama on Feb. 27.
It’s safe to say UAB hasn’t regretted the decision, either. England played in all 54 games last season as a freshman and started 50 of them, as she moved back to her familiar place in the outfield. She got a chance early in the season and never relinquished her role.“A teammate got sick and I was told, ‘You’re going to play now,’” England recalled. “I got an opportunity and made it big.”
England finished the season with a .279 batting average (50-for-174) with a double, seven triples and 13 RBIs. She wasn’t caught on any of her nine stolen base attempts.
England has even improved her game as a sophomore, cementing her status as one of the Blazers’ top players. She hits leadoff and reaches base nearly half the time she steps to the plate.
“She is the spark of a game,” said first-year UAB head coach Amanda Ellis. “Destini has come into her own.”
England was named Conference USA Player of the Week for her performance in the UTEP series March 17-18. Over three games, England racked up nine hits and drove in eight runs. Through the Alabama game on March 20, England had posted multiple hits seven consecutive games.
As of April 8, England was hitting for a .416 average, with a .453 on-base percentage. She was third on the team with 17 RBIs, an impressive number for a leadoff hitter..
England said she has worked on improving her bunting in an effort to better utilize her speed. Ellis has also seen an uptick in England’s defense in center field.
“She’s gotten to balls this year that she wasn’t getting to last year or maybe she didn’t trust herself to get to,” Ellis said. “Her defense has definitely changed and been for the better.”
With her college career not even half over, England is sure to keep improving. That likely won’t please opponents.

Speaking on the occasion, Javed Ahmed Junejo said that farmers’ organisations had played key role in the formation of SIDA, but SIDA still preferred to bypass them. He alleged that representatives of farmers were not invited to the meeting because SIDA want to constitute a fake committee. The meeting demanded the CM to immediately disband the committee of SIDA and give an opportunity to the farmers to expose the corruption of concerned officers.\nThe participants also expressed deep concern over delay in the lining work of West Jamrao Canal and gross irregularities in lining work of Digri Shakh.\nThey lamented that the growers were being destroyed by not releasing the water into canals.' should be close to 'Farmers blast SIDA for not inviting them to its meeting'", 'Altair Engineering has released the 2018 versions of its electromagnetic force (EM) simulation software FEKO, WinProp, Flux and FluxMotor.

The set of features in the 2018 release of these HyperWorks EM simulation solutions, Altair says, broadens functionality, simplifies workflows and enhances the user experience.\nFEKO, a comprehensive computational EM solution, provides several frequency and time domain EM solvers. Hybridization of these methods, the company explains, enables the efficient analysis of a broad spectrum of EM problems, including antennas, microstrip circuits, RF (radio frequency) components and biomedical systems.\nThe company reports that FEKO 2018 implements a novel workflow that facilitates characterizing multilayered dielectrics. Altair explains that this functionality enables users to compute transmission loss and bore-sight error for arbitrarily shaped radomes more efficiently and with greater flexibility. Additionally, version 2018 introduces various improvements for cable modeling, including the ability to define a reference direction for a cable path and a new cable cross-section mesh library.\nBeginning with FEKO 2018 the WinProp wave propagation modeling toolset is included with the FEKO HyperWorks installation. A new “FEKO + WinProp” launcher utility reduces the number of Windows icons onscreen and contains options to launch the various FEKO and WinProp components.

Question: Sears and Kmart Join Retailers Trimming Trump Merchandise

The list of retailers dumping some Trump products continues to grow.
Sears and Kmart announced over the weekend that they're removing 31 items in the "Trump Homes" brand from their websites, though many remain.
"We constantly monitor products for productivity, adding products that are in demand and removing products with lesser demand," said Chris Brathwaite, Vice President, Corporate Communications at Sears Holdings Corporation (SHC), in a statement. SHC owns Kmart and the Shop Your Way website.
Trump Homes consists of furniture, lighting, bedding and chandeliers, some of which are made by manufacturers who supply Trump Hotels. The lines were not sold in physical Sears and Kmart stores.
A search of the Sears website Monday turned up four items currently for sale, including a $248 "pendant in weathered umber" that incorporates "rustic Tuscan charm in the intricate leaf details and metalwork;" and a six-inch Slovenian-made crystal bowl that promises "Donald Trump's signature attention to detail and high quality" for $171. Both items are currently discounted for about $20 off. Each indicated they were sold on the website via third-party online retailers and not directly by Sears or Kmart.

The company stressed that its product pruning "included a very small number of Trump products" and that it was not getting out of the Trump business but still sold "hundreds of products" from "Trump" and "Ivanka Trump" brands online.
In other words, they're selling lamps and shoes, not a point of view.
"We prefer to remain focused on serving our members and our marketplace sellers and leave the politics to others," Brathwaite said.
His company has been in streamline mode lately as Sears tries to stave off bankruptcy, shutting 150 stores and selling its popular in-house Craftsman tool line to Black & Decker.
It's not the only company to make headlines recently for putting daylight between themselves and Trump brand lines over poor performance.
Ivanka Trump sales reportedly dropped 32 percent at Nordstrom prior to its decision to stop carrying her line for the next season, the WSJ said, citing internal Nordstrom figures provided by a third party.
A Nordstrom spokesperson told NBC News, "We haven't and won't be sharing specific sales results for this brand or any other. We don't know where these numbers came from and we did not share them."
A comment wasn't available from an Ivanka Trump spokesperson.
After the news broke publicly, President Trump slammed Nordstrom on Twitter for treating his daughter "unfairly."
The luxury retailer's stock took a momentary ding before soaring 7 percent.
Other companies who have recently removed some Trump-branded products from their websites or stores include Belk, Burlington, Marshall's, Neiman Marcus, and T.J. Maxx, with some citing poor performance.

Question: Oklahoma woman found safe after alleged kidnapping by man following 'domestic dispute,' police say

An Oklahoma woman, who was previously believed to be in "imminent danger" after she was allegedly kidnapped Monday after a domestic dispute, was reportedly found safe Tuesday.
Morgan Rower, 29, was located at a residence and was safe, Fox 25 News reported, citing Broken Arrow Police. Justin Korf, 36, who was suspected of kidnapping the woman, was reportedly not found.

Mayor Chris Beutler will urge residents to stand against hate and violence at the opening of the Pulse Tribute Tour at 6 p.m. this evening at the Nebraska Union in the Crib on the first floor. The event honors the 49 people who were killed in the mass shooting June 12, 2016 during “Latin Night” at The Pulse, an LGBT night club in Orlando, Florida. The Tribute features artist James Nocito’s exhibit “Orlando: 49 Farolitos,” a set of 49 luminaries with portraits of those whose lives were lost.
The Mayor will also address the recent mass shooting that took the lives of 58 concert-goers in Las Vegas.
“As we mourn the loss of the 49 people killed last year in Orlando’s Pulse night club, I ask that we also mourn those who were killed in Las Vegas, and all the other victims of this kind of senseless violence,” Mayor Beutler said. “Let’s share, also, our appreciation for those who came to their aid. But most importantly, I ask that each one of us recommit to fighting the hate, the division and the injustice that plague our society today. The American people must continue to stand for liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness for ALL who call this country home -- people of every race, ethnicity, faith tradition, gender identity and sexual orientation.”
The Pulse Tribute Tour is sponsored by PFLAG, Star City Pride, Outlinc, Common Root, Plymouth Pride, Unitarian Universalists and Vine Congregational Church’s VERGE. The luminaries will also be on display throughout the next week:

Mariah Carey's former manager threatens to sue, claims singer sexually harassed her
Just a year ago, Mariah Carey was on such good terms with her then-manager, Stella Bulochnikov-Stolper, that she threw her a birthday party where she presented her with a $34,000 Louis Vuitton trunk as a gift. Shortly after the bash, Mariah unexpectedly fired Stella, along with a slew of other longtime employees. Now, Stella's going after Mimi for money she believes she's owed from their long-running, now defunct professional relationship, which she claims was cut short by the firing. Stella recently filed documents announcing she intends to sue Mariah for violation of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, a Violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act and breach of contract, according to TMZ. The suit reportedly hinges on "a huge amount of money" Stella says she's still owed for her work. The website also reports Stella says she was sexually harassed by Mariah, whom she claims was regularly naked around her and "did sexual things in [Stella's] presence." Finally, Stella has reportedly accused Mariah of having a substance abuse problem and failing to take her medication for bipolar disorder. A rep for Mariah has already denied Stella's assertions are valid, telling TMZ: "If this frivolous and baseless claim is filed, we will defend against it vigorously and successfully."

Question: Final push for Moore and Jones in Alabama Senate race

represent this text to find a news title for it

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Alabama Democrats see Tuesday's special Senate election as a chance to renounce a history littered with politicians whose race-baiting, bombast and other baggage have long soiled the state's reputation beyond its borders.
Many Republicans see the vote as chance to ratify their conservative values and protect President Donald Trump's agenda ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
At the center are Republican Roy Moore, a former jurist twice removed as state chief justice and now accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls decades ago, and Democrat Doug Jones, an erstwhile federal prosecutor best known for prosecuting two Ku Klux Klansmen responsible for killing four black girls in the 1963 bombing of Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church.
The winner will take the seat held previously by Trump's attorney general, Jeff Sessions. Republicans control the Senate with 52 seats.
In truth, the matchup mixes both Alabama's tortured history and the nation's current divisive, bitterly partisan politics, and it has made a spectacle of a Deep South state well acquainted with national scrutiny but not accustomed to competitive general elections.
"This is an election to tell the whole world what we stand for," Jones told supporters at one stop Sunday, adding that his campaign "is on the right side of history." At an earlier appearance, he declared Alabama is "at a crossroads" and that Moore, an unapologetic evangelical populist, tries only to "create conflict and division."
Jones, 63, stops short of explicitly comparing Moore to the four-term Gov. George Wallace, whose populism was rooted in segregation. But Jones alluded Sunday to that era of Alabama politics.
"Elect a responsible man to a responsible office," Jones said, repeating the campaign slogan of another Alabama governor, Albert Brewer, who nearly defeated Wallace in 1970 in a contest Alabama liberals and many moderates still lament as a lost opportunity.

Some of Jones' supporters put it even more bluntly. "I thought Alabama's image was pretty much at the bottom," said Pat Lawrence, a retired software engineer in Huntsville. A Moore win, Lawrence added, "will be a whole new bottom."
Those concerns extend even to some GOP quarters. Alabama's senior senator, Richard Shelby, confirmed Sunday that he did not vote for Moore, saying he wrote in another "distinguished" party figure he declined to name.
Yet for many Republicans, Moore is a paragon of traditional values. They reject accusations that he molested two teenage girls and pursued relationships with others decades ago. Moore denies the charges.
"Everyone has to vote their convictions," said Kevin Mims of Montgomery, as he held his Bible outside his Baptist church Sunday in Montgomery. "My conviction is he's the right man for the job."
Where Moore's critics see a state judge who defied federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court's decision legalizing same-sex marriage, Mims see a stalwart who stands "on the word of God." Other conservatives see an anti-establishment firebrand in the mold of Trump, who won Alabama by 28 percentage points.
Moore encourages that view with fundraising emails that urge backers to help him "defeat the elite," a swipe at both Democrats and the establishment Republicans who tried to deny him the GOP nomination earlier this year.
Ultimately, Republicans from Moore to Trump himself are betting on a simple bottom line: Most Alabama conservatives simply won't defect to a Democrat.
"If Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped cold," Trump says in a robocall the Moore campaign plans to push out Monday.
The president also invokes a common fear among Republicans, calling Jones "a puppet of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer," the Democratic House and Senate leaders in Washington, both of them reviled by conservative voters. "Roy Moore is the guy we need to pass our Make American Great Again agenda," the president insists.
Moore's baggage could make it difficult to draw conclusions about what the results might mean beyond Alabama, but both parties are watching closely.
Democrats need to flip 24 GOP-held seats to reclaim a House majority, and they're trying to dent the slim Republican advantage in the Senate and its dominance of statehouses around the country. In many of those races, they'll need the same thing Jones must get to win in Alabama: strong turnout among young and non-white voters, along with improved performance among suburban moderates.
A Jones victory would be hailed as a potential precursor, and Democrats have indicated they have a post-Alabama strategy even if Jones loses: They'll take Alabama's brand national, hammering Republicans as "the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore."
