text: Citadel Broadcasting traded for the last time Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange, being booted by the NYSE as of today. And what a finish it was! The stock fell 90% in a single day to close at one cent per share. Late yesterday Citadel finally announced the stock symbol for its trading today on the over-the-counter market. So, if you’re looking for a Citadel stock quote today, the NYSE symbol of CDL will no longer work. Try CTDB on the OTC market. What’s the company worth? With 269.9 million shares outstanding, at a penny a share, Citadel – and we’re talking about the entire company – is valued at $2.7 million.

This is a Title One school. We have a high number of students receiving free and reduced lunches.
I have a wonderful group of students who are thrilled to be learning new techniques and concepts.
I want to open their eyes to new reading material. My students dread learning about poetry and I want to show them the exciting poetry books available to them. My classroom library is full of fiction books, but to have biographies will truly open their eyes to what people, just like them, can do! I also want to incorporate digital media to them. We spend time researching projects and I need to show them what reliable sources look like. My goal is to make sure that each and every student has a positive, nurturing environment to learn and grow. I’m not only teaching educational skills, but life skills as well.
After I read, ‘The Book Whisperer’, I challenged my students to a 40 Book Challenge. Each student is given a number of books to read in a particular genre, but they can select ANY book in that genre! Students are having a great time challenging each other and making book recommendations to each other. I’m lacking poetry and biographies in my classroom library, so I would like to add to those sections. We recently got ten Chromebooks that my class of 19 use. I’d like to teach them how to find reputable sources for information and research. Adding the Time Life digital edition will allow me to show students proper research techniques, while also safely teaching them about current events in the world.

The insurer has published 14 documents for brokers detailing the most common reasons a claim is denied
AXA has launched a transparency initiative, Making Claims Clear, to help brokers improve their clients’ understanding of what is and isn’t covered by a policy.
The insurer has rolled out a suite of 14 documents that explain the most common reasons for a claim being repudiated as well as the most important exclusions that customers should be aware of when taking out a policy.
The initiative was launched in partnership with Biba off the back of research on the main complaint triggers during the claims process.
It was found that the main cause of complaint was a lack of clarity on the part of customers over what was and wasn’t covered by their policy.
Although repudiated claims account for a low percentage of all claims handled, they result in almost 50% of all complaints received.
AXA head of commercial property claims Martin Ashfield said : “It is so important that customers understand not only what they are covered for but what they are not covered for when they take out a policy.
“As an insurer, we have a responsibility to be absolutely clear with our customers about what cover they can and cannot expect and we want to work with brokers to ensure that this largely needless friction is avoided as much as possible. These documents will go some way to achieving that goal.”
And Ashfield said the 14 documents already released were just the first step in the Making Claims Clear initiative.
“We made the broker market aware of our intentions in this space some time ago and I am delighted that we are now in a position to make these documents available to all our broker partners,” he said.
“But this is just the start. We have 25 more documents relating to claims currently in production and these will be made available on Connect over the coming months. We intend to apply the same principles of transparency, clarity and simplicity to our fraud, risk management and underwriting processes as the project develops over time.”
Biba chief executive Steve White said: “We welcome the new guides from AXA. They will be a helpful tool for brokers to use with their clients and will play a key role in enhancing clarity with customers.
“The Claims Working Group, chaired by Biba, has placed improved customer understanding at the top of its agenda so we are pleased that these guides will take an important step towards addressing this issue.”
The documents already released are available for download on the AXA Connect website.

|Billy Ray Hardway, 45, will appear in Calhoun Circuit Court today over an indictment this month, one count of possession with a firearm by a felon.|
He is scheduled for arraignment on the charge before Judge David W. Nibert.
Three counts of wanton endangerment with a firearm, related to an alleged incident involving juveniles, were dropped.
DNR officer John Apgar filed the endangerment charges after he investigated an incident in early August, alleging that Hardway had threatened three Daniel's Run juveniles with a gun.
Misdemeanor charges against Hardway for assault on DNR officer John Apgar are still in magistrate court, filed by investigating officer Cpl. Doug Starcher of the WV State Police.
Apgar, according to police reports, shot Hardway in the shoulder after he allegedly resisted arrest and threatened to wield a knife against the officer.
Hardway is currently in Central Regional Jail.
Also appearing court today is Greg Springston, who has multiple charges related to the vehicular death of a Spencer man, DUI, and failure to appear. Today's appearance is related to the status of his case.
Other cases on today's docket:
- State vs. Dennis Cottrill, arraignment
- State vs. Gary Lee Nicholson, pre-trail
- State vs. Josh Haymaker, disposition
- State vs. Sherry Davis, motion for reconsideration
- State vs. James D. Hall, pre-trail

Most large countries have three principal cities – a political capital, an economic capital and a much less official “fun” capital. In Brazil, Sao Paolo is a bustling financial metropolis; Brasilia is all policy and government, while Rio de Janeiro – with the festive lounges, clubs and restaurants that punctuate the iconic beaches along its South East coast – has the party scene on lock.
With so many nightlife and entertainment options at your fingertips, planning your evenings out in Rio can be a challenge. We’re here to break it down for you…
Ipanema remains the most widely coveted social destination in Rio de Janeiro. It’s where the young, the beautiful and the surgically enhanced (not necessarily mutually exclusive) come out to play on the beach, mingle in the streets and show off their hot-bods. As a result, it’s also one of the most expensive places to lay your head after a night of guzzling Caipirinhas along Visconde de Piraja St.
For easy access to Ipanema’s trendy nightlife without the price tag of its accommodation options, consider lodging options in nearby Copacabana, just a modest walk or a quick drive away. The Cariocas (locals) may refer to area as a tourist trap, but if your wallet is doing the talking, be prepared to do the walking.
If you’re more of an exclusive scenester that prefers to rub elbows with wealthy locals away from the tourist-types, Leblon is where you’ll want to spend your evenings. The area has some of the highest real estate values in all of Brazil (and much of South America), so it’s only appropriate that it also boast some of Rio’s finest dining and designer shopping.
Less than a half-hour drive north of Rio’s famous beach towns you’ll find Lapa, a historic area that’s become known as a bohemian neighborhood. The Carioca Aqueduct located there serves as a symbolic photo backdrop, paying homage to Brazil’s colonial days with its smooth, double-tiered Roman arches. By night, the resident music scene is best absorbed at Lapa 40o and Carioca da Gema, both of which feature some of the best live performances around.
We’re kind of obsessed with Brazil these days with our OneTravel iPhone App contest still underway. Enter now and look out for more Brazil “inside scoops,” coming soon!

The Ankeny Centennial wrestlers crowned three individual champions in the Don Miller Invitational on Saturday at Fort Dodge, where the Jaguars earned a second-place finish in the 12-team tournament.
Top-ranked Ben Monroe at 132 pounds, third-ranked Logan Neils at 170 and fifth-ranked Nic Leo at 182 each captured an individual title. Teammate Lane Pruisner added a runner-up finish at 285 for the Jaguars.
“We did all right,” said Centennial coach Jay Groth. “We were a little bit down from what I was hoping, but we have time to figure out where we need to go.”
Sixth-ranked Fort Dodge racked up 214.5 points to win its home tournament for the fourth straight year. No. 9 Centennial finished with 183.5 points, 24.5 more than Emmetsburg.
The Dodgers gained a measure of revenge with their victory. The defending Class 3A state champions had opened the season on Nov. 29 with a 33-32 loss at Centennial.
“We wrestled a lot better than we have been (recently),” Dodgers coach Bobby Thompson told the Fort Dodge Messenger. “The big thing we want right now is to continue to grow and improve. We had two huge weekend tournaments up to this point, so our records weren’t anything to write home about. We’ve faced some tough competition.”
Monroe remained unbeaten on the season with a 16-7 major decision over Bradley Brown of Storm Lake. The junior improved to 15-0 and is just five wins shy of the 100-victory mark for his career.
Neils posted a 5-2 decision over Carson Devine of Algona to raise his mark to 15-1. He defeated ninth-ranked Kaden Smith of Fort Dodge in the semifinals to avenge his only loss of the season.
Leo then followed with an 8-1 decision over fourth-ranked Zach Needham of Dallas Center-Grimes. He improved to 16-1.
“Nic beat the kid who placed fourth at state a year ago and really dominated him,” Groth said.
Pruisner (14-2) also reached the finals before falling to Justin Jones of Humboldt, who is ranked third in Class 2A. Jones got an escape in triple overtime to post a 4-3 decision.
Centennial got fourth-place finishes from Jackson Bresson at 113, Noah Blubaugh at 120, ninth-ranked Eric Owens at 145 and Carter Cahill at 152. Jackie Wells also took fourth at 220 while wrestling unattached.
“We took a few JV guys and a couple of them wrestled really well,” Groth said. “Jackie got first at the Indianola JV tournament the night before and then got fourth, so that was awesome.”
Owens is now 14-3 on the season and needs just two more wins to reach the 100-victory career mark. Blubaugh (14 wins away) and Neils (24 away) are also within striking distance of the milestone.
“We should have four 100-match winners before the end of the season,” Groth said.
Fort Dodge was led by top-ranked sophomore Drake Ayala, who claimed the title at 113 to become a two-time Miller champion. The nationally-ranked Ayala was named the Tim Ascherl/Brent Helmkamp Outstanding Wrestler of the Meet.
The award is named after the father of Centennial wrestler Jackson Helmkamp, who placed seventh at 106. The late Brent Helmkamp was a state champion at Fort Dodge in 1986.
“It’s really cool to be recognized in that way,” Ayala told the Messenger. “I will try to honor their legacy as the recipient.”

- Puppy Cam
We recently visited our National Breeding Centre and were right in the heart of where our pups spend most of their time! Here are our favourite moments of our pups taking some downtime, playing with their brothers and sisters and even taking a siesta.
Here at Guide Dogs National Breeding Centre, our pups love nothing more than to play with their brothers and sisters. This is important in their younger years as it increases their social skills and teaches them how to approach other dogs and how to play.
We have put together a compilation of some of our lively little pups playing with their siblings at our National Breeding Centre over the past few years. Enjoy!
Share this video of our adorable pups on Facebook and Twitter.
In the litter
Whilst talking to the team there, we found out that they are hoping to link behaviours seen in new born puppies with their adult temperament. For example, they are finding out whether a pup who likes hanging out with their siblings would grow to be a more outgoing social dog and likewise if the pup is happiest relaxing on their own with a toy would they have a more sweet and loyal nature. The answer to these questions and more will help Guide Dogs to tailor their socialisation programme to the individual puppy’s needs, ultimately giving them the best possible start in life and helping them grown up to become even better guide dogs.
Our staff at the National Breeding Centre do the most amazing job helping our brood bitches bring their adorable puppies into the world. They look after and care for these amazing mums and their new pups, before they go on to their puppy walkers and embark on a new journey to become life-changing guide dogs. We have teamed up with these incredible people to give you some exclusive videos of our litters from the first time they open their eyes, to the loveable age of six weeks.
We caught up with some of the NBC staff, behind the scenes at our latest puppy photo shoots. Here is a sneak peak as to what happens when our cheeky puppies just can’t sit still! Check out the outtakes video below.

We are fully into our National Recovery Plan after ONE year, SIX months and SIXTEEN days of Movement Control Order. I can sense the difference - traffic jams are actually happening (!) and kids are returning to school for the real educational experience.
December 31st 2019: Wuhan Municipal Health Commission informed WHO of a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown origins.
January 7th 2020: The culprit was temporarily named “2019-nCoV”, later renamed COVID-19 (CO = Corona; VI = Virus; D = disease; 19 = 2019).January 30th 2020: WHO declared Covid-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
February 11th 2020: The disease was named SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). COVID-19 is genetically related to the SARS virus in 2003 but different in some characteristics, much like siblings in the same family who are genetically related but possess different traits.March 11th 2020: WHO declared the Covid-19 outbreak a GLOBAL pandemic.

The pandemic has robbed us of many things - but NOT our kindness and responsibility to look after our communities.
I watched "High School Musical" a zillion times with Savvy K! It was excruciating. But, If there is one thing I learnt from the movie, it was the lyrics of their song:


(From KSP Post 13) (Jackson, KY) – Three Breathitt County men are dead following a single vehicle collision late Wednesday evening. Kentucky State Police Post 13 in Hazard received a call advising of the collision on KY 3193, at approximately 9:20 p.m., on August 27th. Troopers from Post 13, along with Breathitt EMS responded to the scene.
Troopers determined that a Ford Ranger pick up truck was traveling north on KY 3193, when the vehicle swerved across the roadway and into a ditch on the opposite side of the road. The driver appeared to overcorrect while attempting to gain control of the truck, which caused the vehicle to overturn. The pick up entered a residential yard, where it came to rest against the dwelling there. Jonathan Campbell, age 24, Adam Fugate, age 31, and Pearl Armstrong, age 19, all of Jackson, were passengers in the bed of the truck. All were ejected during the collision, and were pronounced deceased at the scene by the Breathitt County Coroner. Joshua Thorpe age 20 of Jackson, was air lifted to University of Kentucky Medical Center, where he is listed in critical condition, as was 25 year old Marcus Jones of Campton. Jones is listed in stable condition. The driver of the truck, Shawn Hardin, age 19 of Jackson, was arrested and lodged in the Three Forks Regional Jail. He has been charged with three counts of Murder, 2 counts of Assault 1st Degree, and one count of Operating a Motor Vehicle under the Influence 1st offence.
Autopsies will be performed on the deceased victims by the State Medical Examiners Office in Frankfort. Alcohol appears to be a contributing factor in this collision, and seat belts were not in use. This incident remains under investigation by Trooper Tony Russell with KSP Post 13.

On June 11, Cincinnati-based Federated Department Stores signed a definitive agreement to sell low-end general merchandise catalog Fingerhut to FAC Acquisitions, a firm led by Ted Deikel and Thomas Petters.
Deikel is no stranger to Fingerhut. He was its chairman from 1990 to 1999. Petters heads up Eden Prairie, MN-based wholesaler RedtagBiz and operates discount online shopping club BoomBuy.
FAC is acquiring Fingerhut’s name; mailing list; Website; existing inventory; Minnetonka, MN, headquarters; distribution centers in St. Cloud, MN, and Piney Flats, TN; and data center in Plymouth, MN.
Although terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, the St. Paul Pioneer Press estimated the transaction price to be less than $500 million. That’s because the sale excludes Fingerhut’s accounts receivables, which are worth about $1 billion. The sale also doesn’t include Fingerhut’s subsidiary catalogs, such as food title Figi’s and apparel books Arizona Mail Order, Lew Magram, Bedford Fair, and Brownstone Studio. Federated also has those titles on the selling block, but it plans to continue operating them until it finds a buyer or buyers.
Deikel and Petters plan to integrate RedtagBiz and BoomBuy with Fingerhut “to make use of some of the Fingerhut assets,” says RedtagBiz spokesperson Mary Pernula — in particular, Fingerhut’s warehouses.
As for the catalog…
The new owners are evaluating the viability of the Fingerhut catalog itself. “We can’t just reopen the doors and expect the business to be at the level it once was,” Pernula says.
Federated put the Fingerhut book in a wind-down phase in January, when it announced its intention to unload the company. As a result, the names on its house file has not been contacted in at least five months. “We have to do our homework here, but at the same time we have to move very quickly” in deciding the Fingerhut catalog’s fate, Pernula says.
If in fact Deikel and Petters plan to resuscitate the catalog, “they have to get the Fingerhut catalog back in the mail as soon as they can with a credible offer,” declares Jim Adams, managing director of Wellesley, MA-based investment bank Tulley & Holland. “There’s been a gap between the time the last book mailed, so it may have lost some credibility. I would also imagine that a file as large as Fingerhut could bring in some income for these guys. But a lot depends on how quickly they could get back in the mail.”
Several sources point out that in the past when catalogs have been killed by one owner only to be brought to life by another, the initial response to the new mailings was much lower than expected.
In almost every case, says a source who insisted on anonymity, as those companies went out of the mail and shut down, they disappointed some customers “who would get angry with them and not want to buy again — even if the new owners offered coupons or discounts off first purchases. That’s why it’s often tough to get things going again with a relaunch.”
New York-based catalog industry mergers and acquistions consultant Larry West believes that FAC should “shrink Fingerhut way down to a very small company.” That way, the new company could mail the best selects of Fingerhut’s house file above breakeven. “And I have to believe that even though the Fingerhut book has been out of the mail for a while, the very best repeat buyers will be mailable above breakeven again.”
A smaller catalog, West continues, “could be launched like a spin-off catalog. With such a massive database, one could argue that any mailing will be a lot like prospecting.” West also believes that FAC should consider specialty mailings, solo mailers, or Website offers touting the best-selling products from when Fingerhut was still active.
An earlier bid led by Peter Lytle to buy all of Fingerhut, including the subsidiary catalogs, fell through in May. More than half of Fingerhut’s 6,000 employees have been laid off since January.

Spring has sprung in the Blue Ridge Mountains. While Mother Nature is still in her bipolar phase in May, we lucked out for session and got one of those warm Spring days that feels like it’s straight out of a movie. It’s ended up being one of my all-time favorite engagement sessions. I had the pleasure of working with this amazing couple, Alex and Andrea, who were just a dream to work with. They were so much fun and up for anything, which made for some truly amazing photos. I’m all about prompts over posing… Which means I’ll say something like “I want you guys to just hold hands, and walk up that hill like you can’t keep your hands off each other.” Then I just let couples interpret that however they like… it can get some weird looks but the name of the game is just creating movement and authentic smiles.
Their session was a beautiful reflection of their relationship. The way they looked at each other was gentle, sweet and warm, and you could feel the love and connection between them. I felt like we were straight out of a summer teen romance movie. In the best non-cringey way. The photos perfectly captured the essence of their relationship and the love they so clearly share. It felt sweet, and innocent in a way… but playful.
Alex and Andrea’s positivity and energy made the whole experience feel like we were just out for a fun adventure together. It was an honor to capture such a beautiful and genuine love story, and I am grateful to have been a part of their journey. Even for a night. I swear I was racing home to get these uploaded because I just knew they were magic.

Ship of Dreams- Titanic Fiction
In 2008, Irish fiction writer
, Martina Devlin published a novel based on the story of her grandmother’s uncle. “Ship of Dreams”
published by Poolbeg Press tells the story of Tom O’Brien and his fiancée, Johanna (Hannah) Godfrey who eloped together from Pallasgreen in County Limerick bound for America on board Titanic. They were steerage passengers who were going to live with one of Tom’s sisters in Chicago. When Titanic hit the iceberg, Tom was lost whereas Hannah and her best friend found a place on the lifeboat. Hannah was expecting a baby. Martina fictionalises Hannah’s early life in New York, the job she gets in a laundry, her interaction with fellow survivors from the same lifeboat and the birth of her daughter, Marion.
Martina says, “When I was writing Ship of Dreams, there was a real sense of blood calling to blood. I had a photo of my granny's Uncle Tom O’Brien in front of me as I wrote, and I felt that telling his story was a way of reclaiming a family member who was lost to us. Both literally, and almost in family memory too. There wasn’t even a body – steerage class tended not to have anything to identify them, like wallets or shirt collars with initials. There is a mass grave in Halifax in Nova Scotia where unidentified bodies are buried, and I sometimes wonder if he might lie there.“
Many of the details about Tom and Hannah had been lost over the years and little was known about how Hannah managed to build a life for herself in 1912 New York. That allowed Martina to give her family story a fictional bent. Real characters from the Titanic are woven in to the narrative. For instance, she writes about the actress, Dorothy Gibson and her silent movie interpretation of the Titanic disaster, “Saved from the Titanic”. A version of Lady Madeleine Astor also receives a storyline. Martina had artistic licence to fill in the blanks of her great great aunt’s endeavours to earn a living and bring up her daughter alone.
She says, “I became a Titanic anorak. Fortunately there was a lot of contemporary information available, from books to newspaper articles. But I was more interested in steerage passengers, and their voices weren’t heard. Survivors’ accounts were written by first and second class passengers, not by penniless emigrants. So I had a lot of digging round to do there. While the other main characters in Ship of Dreams are fictional, they are representative of the types of people who were on board. For example there was an Englishman in second class who was a teacher, and he wrote about the sinking. He complained about the lack of a lifeboat place for every passenger. I used him as the basis for one of my characters. But this is where fiction comes in, and where characters take on a life of their own. The real teacher sounds a bit stuffy, and initially my character has a prim and proper streak a mile wide – but when he meets the Irish girls in my story, his outlook broadens and he becomes more likeable.”
Hannah is a feisty character who can definitely be viewed as a survivor. She came from steerage class which meant the odds were automatically stacked against her. Not only did she manage to find a place on the lifeboat, but beyond that, she managed to bring up her daughter without accepting help from anyone else. She never succumbs to grief or self-pity about the loss of her husband.
Family who remained behind in Ireland never met Hannah Godfrey’s daughter, Marion. Martina says, “I would have loved Marion to know her father’s people – Tom had four sisters in Chicago, one of them my great-grandmother. They offered a home to Hannah and her baby, but Hannah declined it and there was a rift between the families. However, I always felt glad for Tom O'Brien that, although he never set foot in the US, he had a child born there who thrived; a child who gave him grandchildren and in turn great-grandchildren. So some part of him made it to that new life in the US after all. “
The names of Tom O’Brien and Hannah Godfrey appear on a memorial in Cobh, formerly Queenstown, where Titanic made her last stop and where the Irish steerage passengers boarded. Passengers who died have a cross beside their name. Martina visited Cobh especially to pay tribute to Tom and Hannah, but what she would like to do next is visit Halifax, Nova Scotia to pay her respects at the graves of all those unnamed, unclaimed Titanic passengers and crew members gathered up from the sea.
“Ship of Dreams” is still available from Poolbeg Publishers
and a centenary edition is being considered.

Our reticulation mobile service teams cover the Perth metropolitan area so if you need a new reticulation controller we can help you promptly, simply call 9246 0111.
We carry parts and can replace your reticulation controller whether it is hard wired or it is a plug pack model that is plugged into a power point. We can replace retic controllers that run mains water or water from a submersible water bore. Pictured are a coupe of types of retic controllers but there are many available we can talk you through.
If your Perth reticulation controller needs replacing call us on 9246 0111 with details of your controller and we can give you an idea of a fully installed replacement.
Does it matter that my irrigation controller’s battery has gone flat? What does a retic timer need a battery for anyway? There is a lot of misunderstanding about what a retic controller’s 9 volt battery does. Retic controllers have batteries to preserve the memory of that has been programmed in the event of a mains power fail. The battery is normally only 9 volts and does not have the power to operate solenoid valves or pump start relays. Solenoid valves and most other irrigation devices operate on 24 volts. Most retic controllers are 240 volt mains powered with a transformer that steps down to 24 volt to operate the individual irrigation devices. It may seem like a minor inconvenience if you have a flat 9 volt battery in your controller as at first glance one would think it is not a big issue if you lose mains power and the controller has to be reprogrammed.
BUT it can have nasty consequences if the controller operates a bore. If mains power is lost to quite a few brands of retic controllers and there is no back up battery then when mains power is restored the controller resets all programming to factory default which is often 10 minutes per station per day. This may then turn the bore on to stations that don’t exist and the pump runs with nowhere for the water to go. This can damage the pump or pipe work of the bore. This season we attended 3 bores that had been affected like this from Ocean Reef alone. All after a power fail. These bores, incidentally should have had the unused stations ‘looped out’ to safeguard against this. Remember it is wise to change your disposable 9 volt battery at least once a year. Some newer model controllers have rechargeable batteries. You can test both types by simply turning mains power off and checking whether the display to the retic controller is still working and whether customer program’s have been retained when mains power is turned back on.
If you’re having a problem with your reticulation controller it’s worth trying a factory reset.
This drops all programming and brings the retic controller back to factory default. Different brands and even individual models of the same brand controllers have ways of resetting. Your irrigation / reticulation controller manual should list how to reset the controller.
This info from Hunter relates to their most common models.

Stamford woman dies after getting struck by own car
STAMFORD — An 84-year-old Stamford woman was killed by her own car after it rolled backward in the driveway of her home.
Stamford police say Virginia Bellas exited her 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue sedan at about 4 p.m. Tuesday and left it in the driveway of her condominium unit at 2539 Bedford St.
While talking to a neighbor who was standing outside the car, the vehicle rolled backward on the downgrade of the driveway with the driver’s door open, police said. The door struck both the driver and the neighbor, knocking them both to the ground.
The collision was reported to the police at 4:05 p.m. Both women were transported to Stamford Hospital.
According to police, Bellas was treated by the hospital’s trauma team, but succumbed to her injuries. The pedestrian was treated for non-life threatening injuries and was released.
Sgt Andrew Gallagher, supervisor of the Stamford Police Department’s Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Squad, said it appears that Bellas didn’t have the vehicle in park.
Bellas was physically active and mentally sharp, according to her family, Gallagher said.
The investigation remains open and any witnesses or persons with information are asked to contact investigating Officer Hugh Mullin at (203) 977-4712.
