The Olathe Police Department sponsored the sixth annual Cy Middleton Memorial Basketball Tournament Saturday – this year's event is raising funds for three area law enforcement families.
The players participating in the eight teams said it's a very competitive tournament with huge bragging rights on the line, but that's not as important as the money they'll raise for fallen officer's families.
"My family lost my son in December, it's very, very nice of all these wonderful people to come out and do this for all these families. We appreciate it so very much," Joy Beery said.
Joy Beery's son Randy Beery died in December in a car wreck. He was a major with the Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office.
"Randy left a wife and four kids," she said. "None of us wanted to lose anyone, but it's good to see there's a family of people around everybody."
Randy Beery was being remembered Saturday along with two Topeka, KS, officers, Cpl. David Gogian and Officer Jeff Atherly, who were shot and killed in December.
"There's so many people out here and we appreciate it so very much. It means a lot that they're remembered and they want their families taken care of," Joy Beery said. "Randy had played in this event and so had my other son Bob. They both played in it for other officers in the past."
The tournament started six years ago after Olathe Officer Cy Middleton lost his battle with leukemia. His wife Mikki Middleton returns to Olathe North High School, where the event it held, every year.
"It's so important to us to give back to the people who helped us so much when we needed it and just show support for the other families. It's a good way to stay involved because it was so important to Cy," she said. "It's exciting that everyone comes out year after year and great to see people sometimes you only see once a year."
Sgt. Brian Wessling with the Olathe Police Department runs the Cy Middleton Memorial Basketball Tournament. He says it's critical to make sure families who've lost loved ones know they have support.
"It goes to pay medical bills if they have those, also goes for kids' scholarships for college. The families can use it however they want, but it usually goes to their children," Wessling said. "It's a very important day to know we can give back to our brothers and sisters and help them out in their time of need. This tournament has created a lot for the moral support. When these families show up, they see us all here to support them."
The event, which also includes a bake sale, silent auction, BBQ lunch and more, usually raises anywhere from $6-$7,000, but organizers said they hope to raise over $10,000 this year.
They were successful. About $12,000 was raised including $5,000 from McCarthy Auto Group.
Donations can also be sent to:

Diner Reviews
Waitress was attentive best
service I received in miami"
Dined on 7/24/2014
Always inconsistent with fairly
constant turnover of wait staff who are rarely properly trained though usually friendly. Had to wait an inordinately long time for entrees in a restaurant that was 2/3 empty at that time. Food is generally quite good, however, with reasonable prices. substandard and overpriced wine list for the most part. They have outdoor tables that can be pleasant. Will return for reasonably priced and good food; it is in the neighborhood. You have to be willing to put up with the uneven service- I would not sit inside-can be noisy."

On the corner of Espanol and
Drexel. Food and service is always great! Get Sebastian the bartender to make you one of his Martinis! Owner is always present and friendly and makes you fell welcomed... make sure you say hello and come back again and again!"

The hostess was a little rude,
food and service made up for the cold reception. "

I choose this place for my 18th
birthday. I loved our waitress but the service was kind of slow. It was also unprofessional that there were chicken dishes on the menu but we were then told there was no chicken available and we saw someone walk in with supermarket bags full of chicken. I feel like the overall ambiance could've been better. I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be."

My wife and me stayed here for
dinner. The restaurant is located at the end of the Espanola Way and we reserved a table for 8.00pm. After a Short Time Witting at the Bar we geht a Tabletten outside. We enyojed our dinner , bevause the startet and the Main course was very delicious. Also the waiter was very obliging. Thanks for a great evening"
Dined on 4/11/2014
Didn't even eat! AVOID! We
approached the restaurant where the hostess gave as two menus and sat us down.... down hill from there. The menu looked great value and a fabulous selection, but after 10 mins waiting I asked if we could get service. I was told that there was a problem but that a waitress was on her way out. Another 10 mins passed and we'd had enough so handed the menus back and left. Poor, poor experience, in what looked like a great restaurant in a fabulous location, damn shame"
Dined on 4/4/2014
While on vacation we chose to
visit this establishment. They were understaffed and had 1 waitress, who appeared to be very new, to service all the tables. After an hour the manager came over and told us that the printer that prints out the orders for the kitchen had run out of tape and no one noticed. He was expediting the orders. Food arrived luke warm and they tried to pass off inferior meat as prime filet mignion Avoid this restaurant at all costs"
Dined on 3/24/2014
We were in SOBE for the boat show
and wanted to try a different restaurant. This one sounded good and we like the area it's in. We had a drink at the bar and got to know the manager a bit...nice guy. Then went outside for dinner. Appetizers were great and we were looking forward to some great beef as our entrees...unfortunately, that didn't happen. Mine skirt steak was okay, but my husbands steak was way overdone and sent back. The replacement was nearly raw and sent back. The third time was barely edible and we called it quits. The manager gave us a discount on the entire bill, but we would not recommend this place."
Dined on 2/16/2014
We liked it so much we went back
the following evening again. Nice people, nice servers, and hostess Niani was very friendly. Food was good - especially the fresh oysters - outstanding ! Recommended."

Came here on Valentine's Day
completely expecting a long wait, slow service, and limited menu but was surprised to be completely wrong! Great food and great service even on one of the busiest nights out of the year!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
My husband and I ate here on
Valentine's Day. It was a great outdoor spot, with great service and food. The portions were great for the price. We had the French onion soup - very good, Pear Salad -tasty, Filet Migneaut - cooked very nice, very flavourful, came with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and Salmon - on a bed of risotta - very large portion. Cooked very well. Ambiance was great, and good for people watching. Would return again. Highly recommend this restaurant. Where you actually get good size portions and delicious food for very reasonable prices. A rare find in South Beach."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I chose this restaurant after
reading many positive reviews on line. We were not disappointed. The service left a little to be desired--- our waiter seemed very unsure of himself, and deferred many of our questions to the hostess. Our food was delicious!! Everything was fresh, and flavorful. Serving portions large enough to allow for leftovers. Would definitely return if in the area again."
Dined on 2/13/2014
I was very dissappointed by this
resturant. It had received good reviews, which lead me to try it, but the food, service and overall atmosphere was not up to standards. The bread only arrived to the resturant halfway thru the meal, the server, although trying hard, seemed to be his first night as a waiter. The beef was tough and the paella was dry. I would not recommend this resturant as there are plenty of other options in the area."
Dined on 2/13/2014
The food was really great. My CEO
was in town and we wanted a nice casual place in South Beach to eat, Flame was a great choice. I had the Tuna and it was yummy. My coworker had a good ole fashioned bacon cheese burger and he said it was great."
Dined on 2/4/2014
Our terrific waiter never told us
it was 2 for one happy hour but that didn't matter. Our shared calamari was delicious. .the seafood paella was filled with seafood... The sesame encrusted tuna was plentiful and cooked just right. For dessert we shared creme brûlée"
Dined on 2/1/2014
Smaller than expected, quite
cordial / friendly. Food presentation better than taste. Think a little of everything on menu means not great at anything. Not bad, just, not at all memorable. Too many other choices to return here."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Located at the end of very active
Espanola Way. We ate outside and thought the ambiance was great. The foot traffic was high but not too distracting. The waiters were very attentive. I ordered the Filet Mignon and added a Lobster tail. The Filet was slightly dry but cooked as ordered. The brandy pan sauce was amazing. The potatoes, asparagus were cooked perfectly. My only issue was with the Lobster. It was soggy and cold. My wife ordered the skirt steak with spinach and sweet potato fries. Her meal was cooked to perfection. The herb and merlot marinade was delicious. For dessert we split the apple cobbler. It was amazing. Overall the experience was very good and we'd eat there again, skipping the lobster next time."
Dined on 1/5/2014
Flame Caffe & Grill is a
restaurant that you will never forget. Located on Espanola Way, one of the most versatile locations in Miami Beach. Great Food, awesome atmosphere, excellent service, and many more. If you visit Miami Beach, make sure you have dinner there with someone who is really special and you will be the star for your guest. My wife and I were there on December 31 2013 counting down the last few hours before the new 2014 year came."
Dined on 12/31/2013
It's located at the end of the
very busy and touristy Espanola Way. We're new locals and live just a block away. My fiancée and I were able to get reservations for New Years Eve. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had a set menu that was amazing and included an open bar, including Absolut, which is what we drink. Everything was delicious. French onion soup, tuna tartar, surf and turf, chocolate soufflé and apple cobbler with ice cream. All were delicious and the set price was only $65pp. A great deal, especially on New Years Eve. I highly recommend this place and I'm excited to go back soon."
Dined on 12/31/2013
My husband and I ate here on NYE.
We chose Flame because of its location. The food was ok. I had steak and lobster. Neither was the best I'd ever had, nor was it the worst. We did have good service, and they make a really good mojito."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Totally awesome place to eat. Food
was great, wine was corked, but soon replaced. New server, so a little worried, but all very good indeed. Would not hesitate to return or recommend."
Dined on 12/29/2013
Our experience was lovely. The
hostess and the waiter were extremely professional and friendly, and the food was superb. Even though the restaurant is on a touristy street called Espanola Way, I would go there even if I were a local. My husband had the skirt steak in a perfectly balanced wine sauce with goat cheese polenta. I had the New Orleans style jumbo -- perfect for a warm tropical night that featured sudden drenching rains! We wanted to sit outside under the tent and the staff made that work for us, very comfortably. We will definitely come back here when we return to South Beach."
Dined on 12/27/2013
Located in the middle of a vibrate
walkable street in Miami Beach, the restaurant offers a good menu for affordable prices. If they improve their plates presentation probably could reach better rates."
Dined on 12/24/2013
It was good but not enough
according to what we are are looking for a special ocassion."
Dined on 12/6/2013
Nothing special, good or service.
Just average overall. Lots of other great places to choose from in the area."
Dined on 11/25/2013
Fabulous find. My wife and I
thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful service, food and drinks. We chose to return for a second visit because our first was so good and we wanted to try the steaks which were great. We chose Flame Grille over Smith & Wollensky! Sebastion is a wonderful, friendly bartender/manager. Highest recommendations."
Dined on 11/15/2013
Great food and service. Away from
the touristy area. Located in the Art Deco District. Would definitely return."
Dined on 11/9/2013
I was a bit apprehensive to make
the reservations due to the mixed reviews but decided to take a chance because of the variety of the menu and price range (as we were treating out of town guests). I'm glad I did!! First, I expressed my concerns to management prior to arriving and they assured me the issues previously reported had been resolved. Understandably, most of the negative reviews were during Miami Spice and they admitted they weren't ready for the influx of diners. Mario, our waiter, was attentive and knowledgeable about recommendations. The food did not disappoint. Our selections varied from the burgers to the Surf & Turf and all were delicious, perfectly cooked to order, and of the utmost quality. Definitely will return!!"
Dined on 10/18/2013
Enjoyed the food, drinks and
location. Nice in the midst of a lot since I like to ppl watch"
Dined on 9/28/2013
Very nice place right at the end
of espanola so no people all around you. The food was good-appetiser was better than entree. The dessert (key lime pie and apple cobbler were absolutely divine!!) service needed some help. I had a reservation at 9 and got there exactly at 9 but they didn't have any tables available and had to drag a table and chairs from back. Then we sat for around 10 min before anyone came to our table. Our waiter was very pleasant but could tell they were understaffed as different people came by and had to wait for check. In their defense a "help wanted" sign was on the door."
Dined on 9/14/2013
We had a very nice evening at
Flame. We had the MiamiSpice deal and all three courses were wonderful. Our waiter was not the best but it didn't detract from our evening."
Dined on 9/7/2013
Took Longer Than I Would Have
Expected To bring My Glass Of Wine. Mushroom Appetizer Was Good For Something Different. I'm Not A Fan Of Heavy Mushroom Dishes But Still Enjoyed It. Chilean Sea BAss Was Excellent. It Was Enjoyable To Sit Outside."
Dined on 9/5/2013
Went there on Saturday night and
the service was so bad we walked out. Very unprofessional service. I will not return and will not advise anyone to eat there."
Dined on 8/17/2013
I was celebrating my 13th year
wedding anniversary and was not pleased with how the night went. first it is very hot inside the restaurant that it is hard to enjoy the food. Next the food takes a very long time to arrive. After 20 minutes that I ordered my dessert, I was told that there was no more dessert. That information should have been told earlier in the night not after waiting so much time. I really was not happy with the experience and I wished I had gone somewhere else to celebrate my special day."
Dined on 8/17/2013
The food was delicious with many
menu options to chose from I would definitely go back."
Dined on 8/17/2013
Have been to Flame several times.
This time was a Friday, it was during Miami spice restaurant period, they participate, and they were not adequately staffed for the crowd. This interfered with service and food. The tuna was excellent as always, the fish special mahi mahi was small and overbooked. We will go back because this experience was atypical, however, we will not go on a weekend during Miami spice."
Dined on 8/16/2013
Went to The Flame for our
anniversary celebration, and took advantage of the Miami Spice specials. Wow, we were quite pleased indeed. The quality of the food, the quantity and the presentation were all better than we could have hoped for! We will go back!! Thanks to Adrian for the very professional service, he did a GREAT job!!"
Dined on 8/16/2013
Came here for the first time with
a reservation. They didn't have my reservation but they sat us anyway. Food took two hours to arrive, a supposedly hot dessert came out ice cold and our waiter disappeared the whole time after our orders were taken. He even incorrectly charged our bill and we had to wait another hour to get our bill back. The food was okay but I wouldn't come back again with such poor service and waste 3 hrs here."
Dined on 8/9/2013
The food took over an hour to
arrive and when we complained the staff were not helpful at all"

SELMA — When musical groups perform on this stage, the audience listens. And that caught the attention of the two who are taking over.
A little-known but well-loved concert venue in downtown Selma will reopen soon. Called The Ice House Theater, the venue closed briefly last month but will reopen April 18. The family-friendly country music hall is in an old white building still painted, for now, with "Selma Ice, Coal & Oil Co."
The building, built around the 1940s, was formerly used for ice breaking. Now old church pews line the floor, all facing a stage that looks like a front porch. Walk in through the sealed door, and a chill still lingers in the air.
People come here for the country music, friendly environment and the sense of family.
"It feels like you're back home, like you know everyone," said Erin Wise.
Wise and her husband, Phil, have taken over the Ice House Theater. They're adding new lighting and sound but otherwise will keep the same theme and feel, a place they can bring their 11-year-old daughter, Scarlet.
The couple lives in Selma and first came to the Ice House to perform. Unlike the crowds at bars, people actually listened to their music. The two loved the atmosphere and came back, and by the second time on stage, they were getting hugs from the regulars.
When the couple heard the venue was closing, they felt compelled to jump in. "When we heard the place was closing, we, like everyone else. were sad to hear that," Phil Wise said. "We hated to hear such a treasure would be removed from the community."
Jonathan and Candace Parker of the Bentonville community ran the show until March, when they decided to close shop after life got too busy. Jonathan Parker is the lead singer for Jonathan Parker and the Bel-Airs. His band is picking up more gigs, and his wife, Candace, recently got a new job.
"I didn't know if someone would come in and try to change the format and the whole nine yards, but when Phil approached me, I could tell immediately that he was really interested in making sure these people knew that he was going to do the same thing we did with it," Jonathan Parker said. "Which is really a relief to me, because as a musician, I'd love to see the place go on."
When the Ice House reopens, music fans will be able to come for shows once again every Friday, from 7:45 to 10:15 p.m. The theater will sell concessions but not alcohol. Wise hopes to offer more shows on nights other than Fridays.
The building's story starts before the Parkers. Billy Yeargin bought it in 2000. "It had actually been sitting empty, except for a rusted metal crane and saline and ammonia," he said.
Yeargin turned the inside into a theater, using the veneer from old farm buildings to give the place a country ambiance. He said he loves that the Wises are there to take it over. "I'm fully expecting Phil and his wife to make it grow," he said.
The theater can seat about 170 people but had about 70 regulars for the Friday shows. Doug and Trish Jones of Goldsoro were among the regulars. Doug said they went for the music and the camaraderie. "Everybody's friends and knows each other, and we visit and catch up on the news," he said. "We're like a big family."
Jones said he was sad when he heard the Parkers were shutting the theater down. "I felt like I was going to lose a friend," he said. But he's excited now that the Wises are bringing the tradition back. "I've already got our seats reserved for every Friday night," he said.
As the Wises prepare to reopen, the two are working days and nights on the theater. Phil Wise, who plays guitar, said he's loving the business side of music – the task is not like work at all.
Wise said many people drive to Raleigh for concerts, but he wants to show people they can stay in Selma and Johnston County. "There's some really good music coming through, and we're hoping to also get some higher-profile acts coming through as well," he said.
Wise said he has been amazed at the support from the community, including local musicians who have reached out, asking how they can help. "You don't find that kind of love for a place typically," he said.

Christian recording artist Guy Penrod has a line in one of his songs that says "A man makes his living by the work he does, but leaves his mark because of who he was."
Mike Lightfoot, Bethel College men's basketball coach, is a perfect example of that sentiment.
Lightfoot makes his living teaching young men about the game of basketball. He is leaving his mark because of the quality young men he is turning out that are in turn leaving their own mark, many of them as basketball coaches that will ensure the Lightfoot Legacy lives on.
When it comes to turning out quality young men who are leaving an impression on their communities and in the sport of basketball few can match the accomplishments Bethel's legendary coach can lay claim to.
Bethel is developing a reputation as a "Cradle of Coaches. Indiana high school state championship coaches such as Jack Edison, Pete Smith, Jason Groves and Travis Hannah all have roots that started at the NAIA Division II school located in Mishawaka.
According to a recent press release from the school, more than 50 Bethel graduates are active in coaching or administrative work from elementary to collegiate levels. More than 30 are presently head coaches.
Seven of the past nine state boys basketball championship finals have included a Bethel graduate on the sidelines.
In 2005, Edison led Plymouth to the state championship game for the first time since Scott Skiles in 1982. The contest would end in one of the most memorable endings in state finals history when Indiana Mr. Basketball Luke Zeller would hit a half-court shot to upend the Pilgrims.
In 2007, two Bethel graduates would win state championships just hours apart. Bethel grad and Oregon-Davis head coach Travis Hannah would lead his team to a 1A state championship with a 63-52 victory over Barr-Reeve. Just one game later Edison would return his team to Indianapolis and capture Plymouth's second state championship crown with a 71-62 win over Evansville Bosse. Jack's son Michael Edison, who was a 1999 Bethel grad, was also a key member of the Pilgrim coaching staff.
In 2008, Groves would begin to make his mark on Indiana high school basketball winning the state championship and making his first of many appearances in Indianapolis for Triton High School. The Trojans would defeat Indianapolis Lutheran 50-42.
In 2009, Groves would once again return his Triton team to Indianapolis to have another shot at the state title, but suffered a 66-55 loss to Jac-Cen-Del.
The 2011 season would once again see two Bethel graduates in the state championship games. Groves would return a very youthful Triton team to the 1A finals while 1995 Bethel grad Mark Galloway would lead Culver Military Academy to the finals in his first season with the program. Before Galloway's arrival CMA had never even won a sectional title in their history.
In 2012, former Penn head coach Pete Smith continued the great run of Bethel alumni by guiding Guerin Catholic to their first state championship with a 64-48 victory over Norwell.
The streak continued this past season as Groves once again had Triton in the state finals. The Trojans dropped a 55-50 decision to Borden in the 1A finale.
Besides all of those coaches, Bethel women's coach Jody Martinez is a former Pilot as are Lightfoot's sons Robbie and Ryne who work in the program with their dad. Goshen boys coach Brian Bechtel is also a former Pilot.
Just looking at all those accomplishments there is enough evidence to consider Lightfoot's coaching career a successful one. Once you start examining the actual numbers from his career it becomes even more impressive.
The Pilot program has been under Lightfoot's guidance for the past 26 seasons. He has more wins (658) than all the previous Bethel coaches combined (441). During his tenure the Pilots have won three NAIA national championships, four NCCAA national championships, 10 Crossroads League (formerly Mid-Central Conference) regular season titles and seven league tournament championships.
His career record is a noteworthy 658-243.
Lightfoot is the fastest collegiate coach at any level to 300, 400, 500 and 600 career wins. He reached those milestones in 10, 13, 18 and 22 season respectively. He is tied for the quickest to 100 wins (four seasons) and 200 (eight).
Lightfoot's influence extends beyond the basketball court and into the classroom. In his first 25 years at Bethel, a noteworthy 98.7 percent of his players who completed their eligibility also left the Mishawaka campus with their degree.
That's a rather remarkable accomplishment in this day and age when more people seemed concerned more with a player's points per game average than his grade point average. The purpose of college after all should be to obtain a degree not mattered how good of an athlete you are.
One of the major underlying reasons for Lightfoot's success is his Christian faith. He wears his faith on his sleeve whether it be on his suit coat when he is on the sidelines coaching the Pilots, on the T-shirt or sweatshirt he wears in practice when he is teaching the game or on the T-shirt or sweatshirt he wears on the mission trips he takes the Pilots on when he is sharing life lessons.
Among the places he has taken teams on mission trips are the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Alaska and Ecuador.
In the Bethel men's basketball media guide a short section of Lightfoot's three-page biography sums up his feelings about turning out quality young men.
"I heard Coach Joe Paterno respond to this question once: How successful will your team be? His response was 'I don't know. I will have to wait about ten years and then I can tell you.' That says it best," said Coach Lightfoot.
"We need to look at the product years after graduation. What are my players doing in their communities, their churches and how are they leading their families? The journey really begins after our players finish their basketball careers, graduate and start applying the lessons they have learned."
There no doubt in my mind when Lightfoot looks back on the kids he has turned out there will be nothing but a big smile on his face.

Shirley Holcomb's daughter just started singing that popular Elmo & Patsy song to her children, not for the catchy lyrics with Sonoma roots, but because it happened.
Holcomb, a 46-year-old grandmother of three, was run over by a black-tailed deer — not a reindeer, as the song famously says — near her office in Oakmont last week and still has hip and leg bruises to show for it.
"She hit me so quick, I didn't see her coming at all," Holcomb said at the scene of the collision along Oakmont Drive. "It kind of freaked me out a little bit."
Oakmont, home to more than 4,500 residents in the Valley of the Moon, is also a haven for herds of deer on its lush golf course, while smaller groups of deer feast on residents' ornamental plants and gardens.
Deer also get killed by cars along Oakmont Drive, the senior community's main drag, and what happened to Holcomb on Sept. 18 came close to turning the tables.
At lunch on the patio behind the Tenant Screening Center, where she works, Holcomb had seen an antlered buck, doe and smaller deer in an adjacent creekbed. Feeling threatened when the buck crossed onto her office property, Holcomb said she went back inside.
A bit later, Holcomb walked to the Oakmont Village Market on the other side of the creek, and saw the doe "staring at me" as she crossed the parking lot.
On her way back from the market about 1 p.m., Holcomb said she "heard some rustling" in the creekbed. Suddenly, she was bowled over by the doe, catching a glimpse of the deer's posterior as it bolted across the road.
Holcomb fell into the roadway, and was nearly run over by a car that stopped close to her head.
A passerby helped her up, and Holcomb said the bruising from the deer's impact and her fall "felt like my body was one fire."
Holcomb missed two days of work, and her daughter, Brandy Wood of Clearlake, is now singing "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" to her children.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- Washington voters approved a historic move to legalize recreational marijuana last week.
All the rules and enforcement details are still being ironed out, but many prosecutors across the state are throwing out their pending misdemeanor cases. As of December 6th, it will no longer be illegal for adults 21 years and older to possess less than ounce of marijuana.
For those who already have it on their record, nothing will change. Technically, anyone who is caught with marijuana between today and December 6th is still breaking the law and can be charged.
Possessing less than 40 grams is considered a misdemeanor and is usually handled by city attorneys. County prosecutors do handle some cases that fall outside city limits. Many prosecutors across the state have decided to drop those pending cases, specifically those in King and Pierce County. But each municipality will make their own decision.
Benton County Prosecutor Andy Miller says they handle about five pot possession cases a week, and they'll be handled on a case by case bas. "We're giving them all a second look with the purpose of 502 in mind. We're looking at criminal history, the circumstances of the arrest, whether or not there is other criminal activity at the time," Miller said.
Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant says his office will handle their 10 open cases on a case by case basis as well.
Yakima City prosecuting attorneys says they're not sure what they're going to do yet, but they don't have to dismiss the 26 pending cases if they don't want to.
Yakima County has also not reached a decision on whether they'll dismiss the misdemeanor 133 cases. has been made whether or not they'll dismiss the cases. But prosecutor said not all for those 21 and older and some do have other criminal circumstances involved as well. They will likely decide on a case by case basis as well.

A few of the 14 games on the NHL's Thursday night slate had significant playoff chances and seeding ramifications. Most of them did not. But the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche were eliminated from postseason contention, the Chicago Blackhawks got seed clarity and the Boston Bruins topped the Ottawa Senators in a likely playoff preview.
Dallas fell in a 2-0 shootout to the Nashville Predators to officially end its run at a playoff spot. The Stars needed at least a point to stay within range of the San Jose Sharks for the Western Conference's final seed, but Pekka Rinne's 28 saves scuttled those chances.
That wasn't nearly as bad a loss as the Avalanche, in the same 88-point position, suffered: Colorado took a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets, a squad that remains the NHL's cellar-dweller by more than 10 points despite the victory. The Avalanche were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss.
In the East, the Florida Panthers fell to the Washington Capitals, leaving the Southeast Division title up for grabs. However, thanks to the Buffalo Sabres, who fell to the Flyers in Philadelphia, both Florida and Washington clinched playoff spots.
Chicago's 2-1 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild, which came after a goal late in the third period by Minnesota, left the Blackhawks sitting on 99 points instead of 100 heading into the season's final game. That means Chicago can't catch Nashville, at 102 points, for the West's No. 4 seed, and will have to win in regulation or overtime on Saturday to beat Detroit, at 101 points with more wins, by having more non-shootout wins and taking the season series with the Red Wings. If they can't do that, the Blackhawks will look forward to a date with the No. 3-seeded winner of the Pacific Division.
Chicago still has a chance to be the No. 5 seed because of the New Jersey Devils' 2-1 win over the Red Wings. Petr Sykora's third-period goal was the difference in that contest.
The Vancouver Canucks' chances of claiming the Presidents Trophy and home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs took a hit with a 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames, who rallied with three third-period goals to upset the 2011 Western Conference champions. Vancouver and the New York Rangers both have 109 points with one game to go, but the Rangers have more non-shootout victories.
The Bruins' 3-1 victory over Ottawa was likely a snapshot of what could be a quick playoff series between the two Northeast Division foes. The Bruins are locked into the No. 2 seed in the East, and the Senators need just one point in their final game to clinch the No. 7 seed, which means the two teams will almost certainly renew a series that Boston took by a 5-1 count in the regular season in the postseason's first round.
Elsewhere, Anaheim got a 3-2 overtime win over Edmonton, Carolina prevailed 2-1 in a shootout over Montreal, Toronto claimed a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay, and the New York Islanders won a 5-4 game with Winnipeg.

I remember... Â *blah-blah-blah*Sincerely, Keeponbucn
LOL I suspect Simms pissed in Keeponbucns cheerios at some point.
I remember when the Bucs picked you in the 3rd round out of Texas. You were upset that teams didn't take you earlier, I'm sure that was tough to go through. You wanted to prove those teams wrong and had the chance in NO during the 2004 season. What a first series! You looked quick and threw a few nice balls to Clayton and I couldn't wait for you to go through the season. Of course you then got injured and the season was lost. The last game in Arizona you played wasn't your fault, it was a bad o-line and you were rusty. I understand. Unfortunately Griese played well enough to start the 2005 season leading the team to a great start and then your time came against the Dolphins. I thought you played well in that game and lead the team to some thrilling wins over the next 8 games. It was the big-time for you, although you were riding a great defense it seemed you were a bright and up-coming young QB. The playoff game was one of the most ridiculous games I've ever seen, and that was the downfall for you. That was the game your true talents of getting balls batted at the line and throwing awful int's came to form, the blueprint was laid. "He's having a great camp", "he's going to have a break-out year" were things we heard all off-season and TC. You had 4 years to learn and grasp this system, 4 years to understand the speed of the NFL, 4 years to at least be half of Tony Romo, but you didn't pull it off. You proceeded to lay the biggest turd in the history of the NFL. Sure, you've got a strong arm but that only leads to flat rockets that get batted back before it even reaches the LB's. 4 years we waited for you to have "your turn" and you blew it. Now we have a rookie 6th round QB out of Toledo producing better results than what you did in your 4th year. You showed your true talent. I'm asking you to test the FA market Chris, get all the money you can and leave Tampa. You're not wanted on this team anymore to get the hopes up to only lay eggs all season long. We as Buc fans don't want a QB to need 4 games to get warmed up to being mediocre so please, go. Sincerely, Keeponbucn
Karen is gonna have a coronary!!!!!!

Six men charged with sex crimes
7:50am Thursday 26th June 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Six men have been charged by child exploitation officers investigating a catalogue of alleged sex crimes against teenage girls.
Dawn raids were carried out on properties in Banbury, Oxfordshire, yesterday by around 45 officers, Thames Valley Police said.
The six local men arrested - aged from 19 to 21 - were held on suspicion of sex offences against five girls aged from 13 to 15 between 2011 and this year.
Those charged include Ahmed Hassan-Sule, 20, of Glyndebourne Gardens, Said and Mohamed Saleh, 20, both of Orchard Way, and Takudzwa Hova, 21, of Broughton Road.
In addition, police also charged Kagiso Manase, 20, of Warwick Road, and Alexandru Nae, 19, of Broome Way. All the men live in Banbury.
They will appear at Banbury Magistrates' Court today charged with a total of 22 offences, including rape, sexual activity with a child and inciting sexual activity with a child.
The operation heralded the first multiple arrests made by the Kingfisher team, set up in 2012 to tackle child sex exploitation.
The 20-strong team is made up of staff from Thames Valley Police, Oxfordshire County Council and the health sector.
Together they share information, work with potential victims, investigate and detect crime and disrupt the activities of the perpetrators of child sex exploitation.

A Tucson woman suspected in the death of a 65-year-old woman was back in court today for different charges, unrelated to the murder. Michelle Price was charged with second degree murder in the death of Linda Daley almost a month after it happened.
According to a police search warrant obtained by Tucson News Now, Tucson Police searched the hotel room where Price lived the day after Daley died. Today, Price was given 60 days probation for a case that has nothing to do with the murder.
Price was already in jail for violating probation on an aggravated assault charge.

The Relay For Life movement features community and campus events that offer an inspiring opportunity to honor cancer survivors, promote how individuals can reduce their cancer risk, and raise money to help end cancer. Today, with the support of thousands of volunteers, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day. And we won't stop until we finish the fight against cancer!
