Officer Ashley Kozlowski
Coral Springs Police Officer – 6.5 Years
Bachelor’s Degree, Psychology, Florida Atlantic University
Prior Experience – Victim Advocate Internship, Chemical Dependency Counseling Internship and Youth Group Home Volunteer
Experience with CSPD – Road Patrol, Youth Liaison Officer, RAD Instructor (Rape, Aggression, Defense)
Why did you pursue a career in Law Enforcement?
I have always had a passion for helping others. Initially my degree in psychology led me to an internship as a Victim Advocate with another police agency, counseling victims of violent crimes. While working at that police department, I gained a true understanding of what a police officer's job function was. I realized that I would have so many more opportunities to help the community on a regular basis if I became a law enforcement officer. The fact that police work brings different challenges everyday was also very appealing.
Why did you choose to work for the Coral Springs Police Department?
The Coral Springs Police Department has a fantastic reputation. During my initial application phase, I interviewed many officers and no matter what agency they worked for, mostly all of them said CSPD was the best!
What is your favorite part of the job?
The department has given me the opportunity to be an instructor for RAD, (Rape Aggression Defense). RAD teaches females in our community self-defense moves to protect themselves in dangerous situations. I am proud to be a part of a program that could potentially save someone's life one day.
What do you like to do outside of work to alleviate the stress encountered on the job?
I love to exercise. I enjoy a variety of different activities from running, weight and circuit training, kick-boxing, and boot camp.
As a female officer do you have any words of encouragement or advice for prospective female applicants about becoming a police officer?
Male and female officers respond to the same types of calls, and are expected to react to the same physical demands. I never considered my gender as a possible roadblock to a career that I was determined to excel in.

text: A few nights ago I posted about and made Martha Stewart's One-Pan Pasta dish. I made a few changes to it that I thought I would share. It was a hit and I cannot wait to make it again next week! I did not add the red pepper flakes because a few of us aren't big on spicy dishes and I didn't want to chance it. I figured if anyone wanted to add a little extra heat, they could sprinkle some on their own plate. I also added about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of tomato paste to add a little something extra to it, especially since the hubs wouldn't be eating the grape tomatoes already in the meal. Everyone loved it and I passed the recipe along. It is such an easy recipe, either the original or using my changes and will definitely be a repeat on our table, especially on nights I know I will need something quick!

China’s struggles in the build-up to January’s Asian Cup finals continued on Saturday when Italian coach Marcello Lippi’s side were held to a 0-0 home draw by India in a friendly in Suzhou.
It was the first meeting between the countries in more than two decades and has been dubbed ‘The Earth Derby’ as it features nations that are home to a third of the world’s population.
However, for the third match in a row Lippi’s team failed to break down their opponents, with India holding on for a draw thanks to their Bengaluru goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh.
The two teams are preparing for the finals of next year’s continental championships in the United Arab Emirates.

Meh....once you add a trigger frame and even basic pneulatics, you have resale value of a complete one anyway. But if you like orange or already have the other parts on hands....

Ehh, I wasn't really looking to shell out the $$$ all at once though even if its what I'll be paying in the long run. May just build it as time goes on so I can distribute the cost over periods of time.

By DON McCORMACK - email@example.com
The other night at Edgewood, a man whom I had not seen in more than two decades approached me.
He stuck his hand out, put an arm on my shoulder and said, “Don, it’s so great to see you. We’ve emailed, etc., but I know it’s been more than 20 years since we’ve seen each other.
“You look great!”
His poor eyesight not withstanding (he is 55, after all), we chit-chatted about this, that and the other. He lamented his now-all-gray hair, with a smile, of course. He asked about how things are at the newspaper and I asked him how he’s feeling.
Then, I asked him about his basketball team and a huge smile immediately ran across his face.
“I am soooo thrilled and, yes, fortunate to have the chance, to get back into coaching,” John Bowler, coach of the Edgewood boys, said. “I mean, I guess I never realized just how much I truly love it until I came back after being away for a bit.”
“A bit” was two decades, in fact. John Bowler’s last head-coaching gig was when he capped a five-season run as head coach of the St. John Heralds after the 1991-92 season.
“I couldn’t have imagined it could be as special as it is for me when I came back,” he said. “But it is.
“It really is.”
I congratulated John, himself and his brother, Tim, fine players for Ashtabula County Basketball Foundation Hall of Famer Bob Walters during their playing days as Ashtabula Panthers, on the success of his 2012-13 Warriors.
“Yes, the wins are nice... it’s always nice to win,” he said. “But, really, that’s just icing in the cake.
“The chance to be with and around these guys on an everyday basis and to see them grow, not just as players, but more importantly, as young men, just means the world to me.”
In Bowler’s first season back in the game, his Warriors went 8-14 a year ago.
This season, though, it’s a different story, at least in terms of the bottom line.
“The transformation from coming in as The New Guy to this year, wow!... It’s like night and day,” he said. “Last year, I’d say something, tell them we’re going to run a certain drill, and I’d get the wide-eyed, deer-in-the-headlights look.
“This year, it’s an instant reaction from the guys — they just go and do it.”
Without hesitation, almost in the same breath, Bowler offered proof.
“The other day, we were running,” he said. “And when I signaled we were finished, a couple of the guys came to me and said, ‘Coach, we haven’t run enough, yet. We ran more than we did today earlier in the season. Can we run some more?’
“I was floored.”
Which speaks volumes as to why Edgewood improved 14-6 with a 62-59 road triumph against Cardinal on Friday night, the most wins since former Warrior Kevin Andrejack’s 2004-05 Edgewood team went 16-5.
Having played for a Hall of Famer in Bob Walters, arguably one of the five greatest players in Ashtabula County history, Bowler cut his teeth as a coach while serving as the junior-varsity coach at St. John for the late great Larry Daniels, who was posthumously inducted into the Amanda Clearcreek High School Hall of Fame this winter, for three years at St. John.
How special was their relationship? After three seasons, they did something almost unheard of — they switched positions, Bowler taking over as head coach of the Heralds and Daniels running the JV squad before the 1987-88 season
And it was Daniels’ idea.
“John’s ready to be The Man,” Daniels, one of my high school teachers, said. “He’s more than paid his dues. He’s pretty much carried me the last two years, anyway, and the kids love and look up to him.
“My time is about up. It’s his time, now.”
Though Bowler’s “his time, Part I” lasted but five seasons, it was not without dramatics.
His 1988-89 St. John team, a squad that featured three guys who are or will be down the line members of the ACBF Hall of Fame in point guard Jim Chiacchiero (already inducted), center Steve Hanek (being inducted this year) and power forward Dave Golen, went 18-3 and shared the Northeastern Conference championship with Bowler’s alma mater, Ashtabula, coached by John Higgins, who will enter the ACBF HOF this spring with Hanek.
That NEC championship in 1988-89 remains the only boys basketball conference championship in the 57 seasons the Heralds have been hitting the hardwood.
Bowler’s “his time, Part II” will not include a conference championship, at least not this season — Edgewood is still an independent.
Without a league crown to chase, it can make things difficult. However, Bowler’s bunch has turned what is perceived as a negative into a positive — to them, every game is important, including tomorrow night’s trek to Grand Valley, a game which will have even more meaning as it features a fellow Ashtabula County squad.
“These guys really are a great group of kids,” Bowler, who was brought to Edgewood by Edgewood principal Karl Williamson, said. “They make me appreciate each and every day I have with them.
“Together, we have a blast.”
Bowler, whose JV coach is good friend Paul Stofan, a fellow Ashtabula graduate and player and a former coach at St. John, Madison and now as the head volleyball coach at Conneaut, then walked me over to cleancut young man.
“Don, have you met my son, Jay?” he said.
I shook hands with Jay, instantly scanning my memory banks in an effort to recollect the last time I had seen him.
In actuality, it was his pre-kindergarten days.
Jay, a 2012 Perry High School graduate, is coaching with his dad at Edgewood — and putting a golf scholarship on hold to do so. The 19-year-old is majoring in finance as he takes classes at Kent State University-Ashtabula Campus.
“Having Jay by my side... ” John said, not being able to finish the sentence as his eyes glassed over.
“Having been given the opportunity to get back into a game, a game that has meant to much to me all my life, is special,” he said. “But having the chance to do so with my son... I’m not sure... no, I know, I cannot describe how much this means to me.
“It is truly a blessing. Basketball has given so much to me.
“I don’t need to coach, I want to coach. And the chance to do so here, with these guys, while working with Paul and Jay... I couldn’t ask for more.
“I’m having the time of my life.”
“His time, Part II.”

This week's tutorials continued the theme of Willow's birthday week, with a tutorial for the cardboard shields that the kids painted and played with at her dragon-themed birthday party--
--and another tutorial for the giant organic flannel pillowcase that we all helped make for the giant pillow that she sleeps on every night (her grandmother made her a gorgeous, fuzzy and fluffy pillowcase for this pillow, correctly thinking that it would be just the thing for leaning against while reading, but fluffies get in one's mouth while sleeping):
I've got another luxurious swath of terrycloth that I also need to write up a project for, so I'm thinking some sort of hooded bath towel or capelet or robe for Syd. I do have a bit of that nice flannel left, though, and a girl who worked SO hard on her sister's dragon pillow without a single peep about what she might get for herself, so I'm thinking that whatever I make for Syd, it needs to have a decorated flannel piece appliqued onto the back of it.
A unicorn, perhaps?

A Long Valley man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault on police officers following a three-car accident that led to an altercation with police on the evening of Thursday, March 22 in Long Valley, police said.
Shikhar Mishra, 19, driver of the vehicle, was involved in an accident on Schooley's Mountain Road. He fled while police were investigating the crash and his passengers, Justin Abbate, 19, and Samuel Tawiah, 20, did not immediately tell police that he had left, police said.
When officers found Tawiah, he attacked one officer and broke into a house to avoid arrest. Once inside, Tawiah continued to assault two officers before being restrained and arrested, police said.
The two officers that arrested Tawiah were treated for a broken hand and leg injuries, police said.
An investigation found that Mishra had disposed of marijuana and drug paraphernalia at the scene of the accident, police said.
Tawiah was charged with two counts of aggravated assault on police officers, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, and hindering apprehension and awaits a court date at the Morris County Correctional Facility, police said.
Shikhar was charged with possession of marijuana under 50 grams, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with evidence and obstruction. He was released pending his court date, police said.
Abbate was charged with obstruction and released pending his court date, police said.


A strange one this, as although there are two new tracks – which make up side one – the second side of the album is merely a re-release of Greek black metal titans Melan Selas’ debut EP. Obviously the band think enough of those songs to try and get them to a wider audience, but I for one would have liked to hear some more new music.
That’s because the opening two tracks here, Orkos and Aema, are both absolutely excellent. Strident, mid-paced Hellenic black metal is the order of the day on side one of Reon, and I’m racking my brains trying to remember a band that does this type of metal better at the moment. Both tracks have a bellicose, Manowaresque epicry about them – Manowar circa Into Glory Ride, that is – mixed with hints of Rotting Christ which is a real delight to listen to.
There’s an obvious development between sides A and B, but not so much as to annoy or ostracize longer term fans. Side B is rawer but no less fundamentally melodic, with Ancient Spirit and Of Wither in particular hitting the spot nicely. The latter track brings a stirring intensity to the table, incorporating some rattling bass playing which adds ballast to the traditionally treblesome overall sound. Multi instrumentalist D.K. plays some great guitar on this track.
Of course, no new ground is being broken here; but Melan Selas do what they do incredibly well, and thus I have no reservations in recommending this releases to black metal fans everywhere!
Reon is out now on Iron Bonehead.

The difficulty level in Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection matches that of the classic original games, but it can be alleviated by collecting the umbral bees that you can find throughout the levels.
These umbral bees are hidden, and you need to walk to a certain place to trigger their appearance; once they show up, they can require some fast footwork to collect. The number of bees you can find is indicated at the beginning of each level, and they can be used to upgrade your hero Arthur with spells and abilities.
The Execution Grounds is one of the first two levels that you can choose to start on along with the graveyard. Collect the bees from both levels for maximum upgrades.
Here are the locations of the four umbral bees in the Execution Grounds.
After the first two grave traps you see, when you reach the falling ruins, head up the ladder with a tombstone at the top and the bees will appear. The bee will float to the right of the screen and you will need to chase it down or it will disappear once it hits the tree.
After the set of four guillotines, you will reach the platform that breaks off and begins moving. Once you get to the first guillotine on this platform, the bee will appear above you. Reaper enemies will continue to spawn around you, so be careful here.
Once you reach the waterfall area, head up the path to the left, take out the big enemy (if it spawns) and the vines, and check above for falling cages. They don’t hurt you, but they can leave you vulnerable to the vines.
As you go over the waterfall, the bee should appear on the platform just past it. There’s a falling cage just above this ledge, so you’re likely to get trapped by it, but the bee will fly into it, so you will be able to jump and collect it.
At the chase section, triggered on the bridge that breaks where the pig enemies are rolling at you, jump off the end to get on the big platform at the bottom of the ramp. From here, jump across to the platform furthest to the right and the last bee will appear. Missing the jump at the end of the ramp will make getting this bee near impossible, so make sure you make the first leap.

Good organizational meeting features. Smooth presentation, video performance. Easy wizard-style meeting organizer.
Desktop application performance is a bit quirky. Making direct voice and video connections is not as easy as it could be.
While this online meeting solution's easy-to-use interface and smooth performance show its maturity, direct voice and video connections could use some improvement.
Whatever your Web-conferencing needs, WebEx, the senior player in this arena, probably has a product for you. The company offers products for online meetings, seminars, training, and audio-conferencing. There's even a version with integrated remote-control technology for staffers who need to support customers over the Web. That sounds fine, but it means you need to be careful to choose the platform that's right for you, because they're all priced differently. WebEx MeetMeNow will likely be the most popular product with small businesses because it covers all the basics for groups up to ten. There's no support for event management or lead tracking, though; WebEx offers other services with those features. This makes MeetMeNow a bit of a hit-or-miss proposition, but fortunately, its price is low enough that this shouldn't be a big roadblock to most users.
The company offers two closely related versions. The first, called Pay-Per-Use Meetings, has the same features as MeetMeNow, but you pay a per-minute charge (33 cents), and your meeting must have 10 or fewer members. The second, Meeting Center, is still a Web-collaboration product, but it has more features than MeetMeNow, supports from 5 to 500 attendees, and is priced differently. I chose MeetMeNow for this review because it's a newer platform and best suited to the typical small-business collaborative meeting.
Meetings take place online, but the application isn't online-only. Immediately after you sign up, you need to download the WebEx MeetMeNow software to schedule and start a meeting. That's a bit different from the entirely browser-based approach taken by solutions like HearMe, which keep the whole process online, thus letting you easily schedule meetings from any PC.
Once installed, the MeetMeNow client walks you, wizard-style, through setting up a Web meeting. Clicking on the Start Meeting Now button presents you with tools for sending invitations, which you can do via e-mail or by pasting the Web link and time information into an IM message. Either way, attendees can join the meeting just by hitting a Join link. On the upside, MeetMeNow drops a Start Meeting button onto your Windows taskbar as well as into your Windows Live Messenger and AIM instant-messaging client.
Participants in meetings don't require the MeetMeNow software; that's just for folks who initiate meetings. The first time they attend a MeetMeNow session, they have to click on an invite link, enter some identification information, and then install an ActiveX plug-in. Even with the download, however, the whole process takes less than 2 minutes. IT administrators just need to be sure that their users have the system rights necessary to install the software.
In a meeting, collaboration works much as it does with the other tools reviewed here. The person designated as Presenter can share documents within the meeting space. The meeting initiator can change who is presenting, though, so anyone can share documents. Sharing supports document, presentation, and full-motion video files. Also, given a PC user's permission, an attendee can remotely control that person's computerhandy when, for example, someone needs to demonstrate software.Next: The WebEx Meeting Workspace

Christophe Robino appointed Minister of Social Affairs and Health
Christophe Robino replaces Didier Gamerdinger, who was in office since 2017.
New Prince’s Government reshuffle. By decision of Prince Albert II, Dr. Christophe Robino, a Nephrology and Medical Resuscitation specialist and current Head of Department at the Princess Grace Hospital, will become Minister of Social Affairs and Health from April 20.
He replaces Didier Gamerdinger, who had been in office since 2017, and to whom the Prince extended “warm thanks for his dedication at the head of the Department of Social Affairs and Health” stressing that his “dedication has been particularly exemplary for over two years, in response to the unprecedented health crisis that has affected the Principality and the world.” The Palace press release adds that Didier Gamerdinger will soon be appointed to other duties.

Christophe Robino was also Vice-President of the Order of Physicians of Monaco. He has sat on the National Council since 2013, first on the Education, Youth and Sports Commission, then as Chair of the Committee on Social Aims and Other Matters.
He also took part in the vote and drafting of several major pieces of legislation, including on accessibility of the built environment, to strengthen the independence, rights and freedoms of persons with disabilities, and on coordinated working time adjustment.
The President and elected representatives on the National Council congratulated him on the appointment in a press release and thanked him for his investment: “throughout the pandemic crisis period, Christophe Robino took part, in an active and responsible manner, within the National Council delegation, in the many meetings of the Joint Covid-19 Monitoring Committee, contributing his expertise as a doctor faced with the realities in the field. All the members of the National Council wish him every success in his new role.”

An audit of a forest service road in the Clearwater area has been closed after an audit of BC Timber Sales (BCTS) and timber sale license holders in the Clearwater Field Unit portion of BC Timber Sales’ Kamloops Business area.
Chair of the Forest Practices Board Kevin Kriese says auditors found one timber sales license holder did not ensure a section of the Oliver Creek forest service road was safe for industrial use. “The Oliver Creek forest road in the North Adams had a section that had some landslides and terrain instability,” Kriese says, “This slide went back to about 2015 when there was very wet conditions, and that’s the kind of thing seen in the Cariboo with all sorts of slides around Williams Lake, and stability issues in lots of roads. The more moisture you have the more that tends to happen, but this is an ongoing situation that probably stems from the terrain the road sits on and made worse when you have high water flows.”
According to Kriese, the area affected by the closure is quite large. “It’s one of the tributaries of the upper Adams, it’s a good chunk of the area, and there are ongoing forestry activities serviced by this road.
To fix this issue, Kriese says an engineer will need to be brought in to assess the terrain, and decide which steps are necessary to stabilize the slope.

Reviewby Theron Martin,
King of Eden
Here and there it happens: remote villages where all of the residents are massacred in brutal fashion, apparently by each other. At each site, an Asian man appears, kills the last survivor, and torches the bodies. Is he covering something up, or eliminating a terrible threat? As word spreads through terrorist networks about a potential new weapon – a sort of biological bomb called the Wolf virus – various intelligence organizations start moving in search of the arms merchants who seem to be involved. Dr. Rua Itsuki, a half-Korean, half-Japanese archeologist and doctor, gets called upon because of her studies on how viruses intersect with ancient history. Discovering that a former classmate may also be deeply involved in the mystery is only the first surprise in an investigation that leads to ghoulish creatures, werewolves, and a military expedition more than 2,500 years into the past.
This manga/manhwa (both terms technically apply) represents a collaboration between Japanese author Takashi Nagasaki and Korean artist Ignito, so one of the main characters being half-Korean, half-Japanese seems like a pointed statement. That is about the extent of the impact that the nationalities involved in the collaboration has on the project, however. This is, on the whole, a straight-up horror story flavored with some mild mystery elements, one which distinguishes itself a bit from others of its ilk by basing its backstory far back in history while also making connections to modern terrorism.
Though there are scattered stories throughout antiquity of people being turned into wolves, the earliest versions only temporarily involve the Neuri, a tribe that lived in the area that is now northern Ukraine and southern Belarus. While the stories about them turning into wolves for a few days each year are likely not true, King Darius I of Persia could have theoretically come into contact with them during his Scythian Campaign in 513 B.C, and he almost certainly traversed what is now eastern Romania in getting to that area. This story fits all of those details into its backstory to explain a Persian tomb in Romania and how that could be tied to the origin of the Wolf virus, a rabies-like disease which turns people into ghoulish creatures prone to extreme violence, though if they survive long enough they can achieve a werewolf-like form. That's some pretty involved research on which to base a story and is easily the most interesting and novel aspect of the story.
The writing further posits that the real threat to archeologists in discovering ancient tombs is long-sealed-away pathogens. The merits of this as the explanation for a mummy's curse are dubious, but it is an interesting theory that provides the second leg of the story's foundation. Still, the notion that diseases have shaped human history is hardly a novel one, and that lends a semblance of credibility to the explanations offered here. The story also throws the biblical Cain in for good measure, with the fanciful notion that the land Cain wandered in after being cast out by God was inhabited by nonhumans like werewolves. The title of the series might be a reference to this, but that has not been firmly established yet.
The one other interesting aspect of the story is the efforts to package and repurpose this virus as a weapon. Because it works fast but also burns out fast (because victims take to killing each other), it could make for an ideal terrorist weapon if handled properly. Indeed, efforts to test the Wolf virus out for precisely such an application explain the scattered hot spots, and one major subplot involves Middle Eastern terrorists angling to get their hands on it. That thread largely gets ignored in the later stages of this volume, however.
All of this is probably making the story sound more involved and academic than it is. The bulk of the content is actually standard monster story shenanigans: there are bursts of people turning into flesh-eating monsters, a mysterious figure who goes around cleaning those messes up, a bad guy who thinks he has more control over the monsters than he does, and a female scholarly type called in as an advisor who soon finds herself neck-deep in all of this mess, including being familiar with the mysterious guy. Fortunately, Dr. Itsuki is not a helpless victim here; she is shown being quite capable of performing a couple of martial arts styles, and credit to the artist for the precision in depicting some of the moves she makes. She does not use these techniques against the ghouls and werewolves, as those fights are always done with weapons, but she stays more active than heroines in these stories commonly do.
The real attraction of this series is, of course, its extreme graphic violence. The cover art suggests this, and only a few pages are required before a doge with its limbs chewed off and entrails exposed shows up. While not pervasive, piles of bodies with chewed-up limbs, exposed bones, and other grotesqueness are regular visual features; I advise against eating while reading this unless you have an especially strong stomach. Ignito's artistic talents are not just limited to the horror elements, either. He favors a realistic rather than interpretive or manga-styled approach to character designs and has the skill to pull it off, even to the point of subtly working in racial features usually not easy to depict in drawn form, and is equally skilled at depicting characters of all ages. While his staging of action scenes is not the most dynamic out there, they are nonetheless easy to follow, and background art lacks for nothing. This is a quality artistic effort.
The digital version available for review from Yen Press clocked in at a heady 409 pages, of which the first 70 or so are done in color (albeit mostly restrained and earthy coloring.) It offers nothing for extras, not even an author/artist Afterword. Despite a basic story, it looks good enough, and has an involved enough base to its premise, that I can give it a mild recommendation for horror fans.
Overall : B
Story : B-
Art : A

Burglars steal 40 firearms from Rapid City gun store Wednesday
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - Rapid City police are investigating a burglary at First Stop Gun and Coin on Wednesday, where suspects stole 40 guns.
Around 3:25 a.m. Sept. 23, police arrived at 701 Main Street after receiving a call. Upon arrival, police found the store’s glass door shattered. There was no one in the store.
Surveillance video shows three suspects.
Two of them entered the store; one had a baseball bat. The suspect holding the baseball bat struck various display cases, and the other grabbed handguns and stuffed them into a duffel bag. At one point, one of them cut their arm on the glass of a display.
The third suspect stayed outside and fled the scene with the other two, according to police.
Both suspects that entered the store appear to be slim-built males, who could be aged anywhere from 15-years-old to their early 20s. They were wearing light-colored hooded sweatshirts and masks. Both were wearing pants with distinctive holes in them, as seen in the surveillance video.
“Any time you have a large-scale gun theft like this, it’s highly concerning for local law enforcement,” says Captain John Olson, Commander of the RCPD’s Criminal Investigations Division. “We have around 40 guns that are now unaccounted for in the hands of our criminal element. It’s imperative that we, as a community, take steps to properly secure firearms while they are left unattended.”
Police are working with the business to determine the specific number of firearms taken during the burglary. This remains an open and active investigation.
From 2012 to 2019, 180 guns were stolen from firearms dealers in South Dakota according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Only four of those came last year.
Gun theft is always a concern for law enforcement as stolen guns can be used in further crimes.
Back in 2016, three handguns stolen in a Rapid City robbery turned up in the Denver area after being used in a murder and a police-involved shooting.
With 40 guns missing from First Stop Gun & Coin, that creates a lot of opportunities for crime.
“The thing that causes us the most concern is that often times when it comes to a stolen firearm, law enforcement doesn’t encounter that gun usually until it’s used in some sort of another criminal offense or it’s used to victimize someone else, so these people aren’t taking these guns and then donating them to charity,” said Brendyn Medina, RCPD community relations specialist.
Anyone with any information about this burglary or the identity of the suspects involved should contact Detective Jim Ingalls at 394-4134. An anonymous tip can also be submitted by texting the letters ‘RCPD’ and the information to 847411.

Kampala – Parliament has announced a special sitting to pay tribute to slain Arua Municipality Member of Parliament Ibrahim Abiriga.
In a notice issued Saturday morning, the Clerk to Parliament called on MPs to attend the sitting on Sunday June 10 at 9am.
“The Clerk to Parliament informs Members of Parliament that there will be a special sitting on Sunday, 10 June 2018 at 9am to pay tribute to the late Arua Municipality MP, Hon Ibrahim Abiriga. The body of the late will be brought to the House,” the notice reads.
The jovial Arua Municipality and National Resistance Movement NRM Member of Parliament was gunned down in the outskirts of Kawanda, Matugga in Wakiso District on Friday evening, about 50 meters away from his home.
Abiriga, a man who donned yellow from head to bottom over his love for both the party and President Yoweri Museveni met his death in the gruesome murder by yet to be known assailants.
Abiriga a soldier at a level of Colonel served in the army forces of then-Ugandan head of state Gen Idi Amin Dada at the rank of Staff Sergeant until he was elevated to the rank of Major under National Resistance Army NRA to Colonel in now Uganda People’s Defense Forces -UPDF.
The comical NRM legislator told the media that his warddrobe is of predominately yellow outfits ranging from suits, shirts, shoes, hat and socks
“Everything on me has at least had yellow if it is not fully yellow. The plate I use, the cups, my bed is yellow, house and everything must be yellow”, he asserted.
A dedicated member and supporter of the NRM party, Col Abriga was assigned a security guard at the peak of the constitutional amended debates after he aggressively supported and defended the removal of the age limit caps.
Abiriga, whose life has been ended in the cold murder alongside his body guard, was named by President Museveni the most disciplined Member of Parliament when he gifted him a pair of locally made sandals during the 2017/18 Budget reading at Kampala Serena Conference Centre.
Abiriga for his dressing and yellow Volkswagen has been a “darling” for the media and the public over his open-minded statements; “he would stop over and talk to us, give money to children,” a resident in Kawanda said in the aftermath of his brutal assassination on Friday.
Abiriga while in Senior Three at Kabalega Secondary School in Masindi joined the Army in 1971 on orders of his father and later deployed in the Secret Service at Makindye Military Police in Kampala after nine months of training.
Abirga a former Resident District Commissioner of Arua and Yumbe resigned his position for politics where he beat a strong force of the FDC to win the Arua Municipality seat to secure a spot in the 10th Parliament.
Abiriga has been a practicing Muslim murdered in brutal manner similar to many other Muslim leaders killed since 2012.
By press time, investigators from different security organs were still at the scene of crime trying to comb for any clues that could help in nabbing the assailants.
Unconfirmed eyewitness reports indicate that one of the assailants dropped their phone at the scene, however, police is yet to confirm this development.


Torsion springs have three advantages over extension springs: They’re quieter, safer and easier to fine-tune. Torsion springs are quieter because you don’t have a spring knocking against a roller track. They’re safer because when a spring breaks, it usually stays on the bar. Finally, you can fine-tune the tension on a torsion spring so the door is perfectly balanced. Setting the tension on torsion springs has always been very dangerous, but torsion and extension spring systems with easy, do-it-yourself tensioning (Photo 7) are available. If you don’t use one of these DIY-friendly, easy tensioning systems (Clopay EZ-Set Spring and Wayne-Dalton TorqueMaster are two brands), you should hire a professional to release and set the tension on a torsion spring.

Great! We specialize in all sorts of garage door repair work. Working around the garage door can be fairly dangerous if you’re trying to repair this issue on your own. Most garage door companies will quickly remind folks about this, and it’s true. Their are some hazards to watch out for when working around these heavy and high tension doors. We recommend you give an expert a call to address the issue in a safe and timely manner for you.
10The type of garage door shown provides the necessary lift assistance with a “torque tube.” If you intend to use an opener, wait to install the tube. Otherwise, install the torque tube according to the manufacturer’s directions. Roll up the door about 4 feet to check for the alignment of the tracks, and make any adjustments. Then tighten all fasteners.
Squealing, screeching, or grinding noises from your garage door are usually indicative of a lack of lubricant or an accumulation of dirt or debris in the tracks. When removing debris, do not use harsh chemicals to clean the tracks. Once the track is clean, coat it with lubricant designed especially for garage doors, if possible. If you do not have access to this special type of lubricant, you can use WD-40 on the tracks and hardware.
Mechanical garage door openers can pull or push a garage door with enough force to injure or kill people and pets if they become trapped. All modern openers are equipped with “force settings” that make the door reverse if it encounters too much resistance while closing or opening. Any garage door opener sold in the United States after 1992 requires safety eyes—sensors that prevent the door from closing if obstructed. Force settings should cause a door to stop or reverse on encountering more than approximately 20 lbs (9.07 kg) of resistance. Safety eyes should be installed a maximum of six inches above the ground. Many garage door injuries, and nearly all garage door related property damage, can be avoided by following these precautions.

At Menards®, you will find a wide variety of door sizes ranging from 4 feet to 9 feet wide, 10 feet to 16 feet wide, and over 16 feet wide.

TALLADEGA, Ala. -- When an engine failure knocked title favorite Martin Truex Jr. from NASCAR's playoffs, the rest of the top contenders got a little bit of breathing room.
Then Brad Keselowski suffered the same cruel elimination when his engine failed Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.
There was suddenly a wide-open competition to earn the final transfer spots into the third round of the Chase, and Denny Hamlin and Austin Dillon raced a tense final two laps in overtime to fill the bracket. With each pushing for every last point, it was Hamlin who advanced into the round of eight on a tiebreaker over Dillon.
Dillon was ninth, but lost the right to move into the next round based on average finish over the last three races.
Hamlin had told his Joe Gibbs Racing team not to give him points updates, and that lack of knowledge forced him to scramble through the final turn as he was undecided on how aggressive he needed to be.
"I wasn't sure whether I needed to finish third," he said. "I told them I didn't want points updates. But that's almost when I probably should have got one to figure out what I was going to do. (Dillon) is in the middle of the pack. He's fighting and getting positions. He could change two positions in the last hundred yards.
"So you can't really predict it. I knew I just had to try to finish as good as I could."
With Truex and Keselowski out of the playoffs before the checkered flag, the suspense came down to final finishing order. Logano was not in a must-win situation, but the victory sure didn't hurt.
Dillon, on a frantic dash over two overtime laps to gain as many spots as possible, called the outcome "heartbreaking."
"It sure stinks to lose it on a tiebreaker," Dillon said.
Also eliminated Sunday was Chase Elliott. Advancing are: Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Logano and Hamlin. There are four Toyotas remaining in the field, all from Joe Gibbs Racing. Stewart-Haas Racing has Kurt Busch and Harvick -- but the two had a heated exchange after the race over alleged contact on the last lap -- while Hendrick Motorsports has Johnson for three Chevrolets in the field. Logano is the only Ford driver.
"Feels good to win on a clutch moment like that with the pressure on," Logano said. "I think we ran like a champ."
The race was stark difference from the spring stop in Alabama, when 35 cars were involved in at least one accident and two cars went airborne . And last year, it appeared that Kevin Harvick intentionally caused an accident on an overtime restart to help his championship chances.
But for mile after mile Sunday, the drivers behaved.
The only glitches came in a harried sequence early in the race in which three championship contenders had uncharacteristic gaffes within minutes of each other. First Logano left pit road with a jack wedged under his Ford, and he had to return to pit road to have it removed. Then Hamlin was flagged for speeding, then Truex lost an engine .
Keselowski's engine went with 43 laps remaining after he'd battled climbing temperatures on his car because of debris on his front grille.
"It is unfortunate for Brad," Logano said. "It happens as a leader picking some (debris up). We picked it up just not as much."
Keselowski was dominant for a huge chunk of the race, even as he battled climbing temperatures on his Ford. Then, with 43 laps remaining, his engine blew and Keselowski was sent to the garage.
Kasey Kahne spun with six laps remaining to bring out the caution for a heart-pounding final restart.
The caution had terrible timing for Hamlin, and was a gift for Dillon. Hamlin was trying to hold off Dillon for the last transfer position and the Kahne spin gave Dillon another chance to gain points that would keep him in contention and bump Hamlin from the playoffs.
The restart was with three laps remaining.
The push was intense for a lap, then a spin by Alex Bowman brought out the caution for an overtime finish.
Over the team radio, Dillon was told to concentrate.
"Focus forward, man. Focus forward on what we've gotta do. That's what matters, OK?" Dillon was told by a team member.
Dillon gained two spots in overtime, but it wasn't enough to pass Hamlin in the standings.
TREUX MAKES EARLY EXIT: His engine failure ended his title chances -- one round after he'd moved to the top of the list of favorites.
Truex won a pair of races in the opening round of the Chase, and was above the elimination line Sunday and only needed a decent day to advance into the third round. He appeared to be in good shape after winning the pole -- overcoming a qualifying day distraction when his team had trouble in inspection -- but the engine blowing on his Toyota sent him to a last-place finish.
"We had a team capable of competing for the championship, and unfortunately we're not going to be able to show that," he said.
KESELOWSKI ELIMINATED: Faced with a must-win situation at Talladega two years ago, Keselowski stepped up and grabbed a monumental victory.
He was certain he could do the same on Sunday and after leading 90 laps, Keselowski was definitely in play for the win.
When his engine failed, his championship chances were done .
"A lot of fun to be leading at Talladega," he said. "We were doing the best we could to have some fun and lead some laps."
OH WHAT A FEELING: Toyota celebrated its 1,000th race at the Cup level by advancing a manufacturer-high four cars into the round of eight.
All four Joe Gibbs Racing entries moved into the third round, with Truex's blown engine the only hiccup on the day.
Having four drivers, from the same team, still in the playoffs led winning car owner Roger Penske to poke the Toyota camp on the stakes.
"They've got more to lose than I do, I guess," Penske said. "They've got four."
UP NEXT: The opening race of the third round of the Chase on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. Logano swept the second round last year and seemed headed to the win at Martinsville until he was intentionally wrecked as payback by Matt Kenseth. The feud between the two ultimately cost Logano a spot in the championship round.


September 5 edition of KHOI's "Capitol Week" is online
Political ads, voting deadlines, a lawsuit dismissed, and more
Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend! I took most of the holiday off from writing, but Dennis Hart and I were on KHOI Community Radio for the live broadcast of “Capitol Week.” The show airs from 7:00 to 7:30 pm Central on Mondays. KHOI rebroadcasts the show on Wednesdays at noon, and producer Mike Murphy uploads the audio files, so anyone can listen to any of the 70+ shows we’ve recorded anytime on the station’s website.
During our September 5 broadcast (audio file), Dennis and I discussed:
New television commercials that Senator Chuck Grassley and Democratic challenger Mike Franken released this past week;
Some of Grassley’s comments at his last town hall meeting in Taylor County;
Franken finishing his own 99-county tour with a stop in Grassley’s home town;
Mike Pence’s political advocacy group spending big on a tv ad attacking Representative Cindy Axne in Iowa’s third Congressional district;
Axne’s latest commercial, which opened a new line of attack against GOP challenger Zach Nunn;
Challenges in modeling turnout for this November’s election;
Iowa House and Senate districts that are uncontested (I will be reporting later on the legislative races most likely to be competitive);
Rules surrounding voting in Iowa: important early voting deadlines, tips on registering to vote, how to request an absentee ballot, and what counts as a valid ID, which Iowans will need to vote early or on election day;
The unusually large number of challenges to voter registrations in Black Hawk County and Linn County;
A District Court dismissing former Iowa Department of Human Services Director Jerry Foxhoven’s wrongful termination lawsuit;
My exclusive reporting on Governor Kim Reynolds reappointing Cheryl Arnold to the Public Employment Relations Board, continuing her pattern of playing “musical chairs” to keep people on the board who haven’t been confirmed by the Iowa Senate;
The Iowa Corn Growers Association endorsing proposed carbon capture pipeline projects, despite opposition from many farmers and landowners.
The link to the whole 30-minute program is here. You can listen to this week’s show and any past editions of “Capitol Week” at your convenience on KHOI’s website.
Over at Bleeding Heartland, I hope to publish more campaign coverage this week, and will be watching for developments in the litigation seeking to reinstate Iowa’s 2018 abortion ban. (Planned Parenthood is supposed to file a response to the state’s motion by next Monday.)

In 2016, on the proposal of the Ministry of defence of the Russian Federation government adopted the decision on the resumption of the tradition of national celebration of the day of Navy of Russia. Prior to that, the festival did not have such status, but still noted sailors of all fleets. In the Soviet Union the celebration of Navy Day were of great importance.
last year the celebration has not passed not noticed by the population of the country and received a high rating among the citizens of guests. Everyone liked the idea and this is the last Sunday of July, which falls on 30 number this year in all major locations of the Navy of the country: St. Petersburg, Sevastopol, Severomorsk and Vladivostok, Baltiysk, Novorossiysk and many others, there will be a parade of military ships.

About: cedar falls, iowa
Cedar Falls is located in northeastern Iowa. The city was founded in 1845 by William Sturgis and was originally called Sturgis Falls in honor of the first family to settle in the area. However, when the family moved a few years later, the city was renamed Cedar Falls after the nearby Cedar River. Because of its proximity to the river and therefore its availability of water power, Cedar Falls quickly developed into a milling and industrial center.

not sure how you and Tim found #4 so quickly. It was definitely in the wrong place in relation to other features. Not that the right place was obvious either. A new clearer map is required.
We saw you in Pateley Bridge out of our Tea Shop window...
#4. I went through finish (following Louise) across track, through open area and into woods to edge of crags. Had a look over the edge then slid down a rock with dob scratches on it. Wandered under crags and saw Louise climbing up to control. It may well have been further N, but I was in no position to judge.
As with the rest of the course the crag/boulder in the middle of the circle seemed to be the one with the kite at it!


Of all the wonders in the Galapagos Islands, one of the most spectacular is that this equatorial archipelago, with its tropical forests, barren deserts, and temperatures reaching up to 38°C (100°F), is able to support a species of Equatorial tropical penguin. Penguins can be found in several locations, but the Galapagos penguin is the only species that lives so far north- and even more miraculously, right on the equator. The story seems like a natural history fairy tale.
Equatorial tropical penguins are built for cold climates- the farther south you travel, the bigger they get in both individual size and population size with the mighty Emperor Penguin down in Antarctica surviving temperatures as low as −40°C (−40°F). As such, the Galapagos penguin has a range of specific physical and behavioral adaptions that allow it to survive in such warm temperatures.
But, how can it live here in the tropics?
Several adaptations enable this penguin species to survive here at equatorial latitudes. The Equatorial tropical penguin is the third smallest in the world, a vital adaptation to surviving in the warm Galapagos climate. Its small size – no more than 20 inches in height – allows it to squeeze into small caves and crevasses to hide from the strong sun. Furthermore, the populations do not require as much space as larger penguins, which is particularly important in the Galapagos where the Galapagos penguin has the smallest breeding range of any penguin species. Furthermore, their smaller size requires smaller amounts of food, increasing the Penguins’ chance of survival during times of scarcity.
The Penguins also have a few techniques to protect themselves from the hot equatorial sun. They can frequently be seen holding their flippers away from their body to release heat through the exposed underparts of their flippers or, on the other hand, using their flippers to shade their delicate feet. Heat is further dispensed by increased blood flow to these exposed areas. Additionally, Galapagos penguins pant much like dogs do, as a way to release heat by evaporation from the throat and airways. However, their best technique to stay cool is simply taking a swim. Like all penguins, they spend the majority of their time in the water, which is cooled by the Humboldt Current and oceanic upwelling.
The Cool Side of Galapagos – The Humboldt Current
Experts believe that the ancestor of the Equatorial tropical penguin arrived at the islands via the Humboldt Current, and this current continues to play a vital role in the Penguins’ lives. The Galapagos penguin primarily feeds on krill and small crustaceans, along with larger organisms such as fish and squid, but the presence of this food is directly related to the presence of the Humboldt Current. The Humboldt Current carries cold Antarctic water northwards along the western coast of South America, also displacing surface water and allowing deep, nutrient-rich waters to upwelling to the surface, creating one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the world. This current and the nutrients it brings to the islands are vital for the Penguins’ survival. Indeed, their distribution throughout the archipelago correlates directly to the current’s flow. Over 80% of the population inhabits the western islands of Fernandina and Isabela (the remaining penguins live on the Bartolome, Santiago, Santa Cruz, and Floreana islands), which are strongly influenced by upwelling processes and the Humboldt Current.
Not Everything is Picture Perfect for Penguins
Like many species in the Galapagos Islands, the penguin population has suffered greatly in recent decades due to climate change. The Galapagos penguin is the rarest and most endangered penguin species in the world and has been having trouble adapting to the increasingly drastic climate changes in their environment. Events as Super El Niño have become increasingly common over recent decades, drastically affecting their supply of food during such periods. During the 1982-1983 El Niño, approximately 77% of the population died and, just 15 years later, the population decreased an additional 66% as a result of the 1997-98 El Niño. However, these significant losses in population further affect the penguin by decreasing the population’s genetic diversity, thus indirectly hindering its ability to adapt to future problems such as disease. This, combined with their highly restricted breeding ground has made the Galapagos penguin extremely vulnerable. A significant number of the nests that the penguins used 40 years ago have since been destroyed, are used by iguanas or are flooded. Conservation efforts have been undertaken to increase their numbers, such as through the construction of artificial nests to increase reproductive success. The penguin’s numbers have slowly been increasing in recent years, but the population remains very fragile, with just 1,000 individuals in 2007. However, the impact of introduced species can be more harmful than all these natural factors combined. The volcanic shores of the islands virtually have no escape routes on land, at least for penguins, and therefore the only two options of escaping are to head rapidly in the water, which chicks and juveniles won’t handle well at all, or find small cracks in the rocks or empty lava tubes to hide.
Nothing Tops Snorkeling with an Equatorial tropical Penguin
Spend a wonderful day snorkeling along with the iconic Galapagos penguin!
Of all wildlife encounters in Galapagos, perhaps finding penguins on land and in the water is one the most unique experiences for explorers. The reason is rather simple: where else can you snorkel with a penguin right in tropical latitudes? It seems quite odd, for example, to look at the underwater world of Galapagos and see a parrotfish, a true tropical fish species, and then a penguin swimming torpedo-like next to you. This is like watching a polar bear on a tropical beach. Snorkeling with penguins is a true “only here” wildlife experience, and luckily several expedition itineraries offer the possibility of accomplishing this. Popular visitors sites for penguins include Punta Vicente Roca, Bartolome, Chinese Hat, Floreana, Punta Espinoza.
