Woman charged with slapping teacher at Hazel Park school
A 34-year-old Missouri woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly slapping a teacher at a school in Ferndale.
Police said Leandra Creer, of Kansas City, Mo., is facing charges of assault and battery for the incident at Webb Elementary School.
Although part of the Hazel Park School District, the school is on Woodward Heights near Hilton in Ferndale.
Police said a teacher at the school noticed Creer, who was wearing pajama bottoms, and asked her what she was doing there. Creer told the teacher she was there to take a student to lunch and mentioned a name the teacher had never heard of, police said.
When the teacher asked Creer to follow normal visitor procedure and check in at the school's office, police said Creer refused and kept walking.
When the teacher went to the office to report Creer, Creer confronted her and slapped her in the face, police said.

Can best friends really move on after a guy gets in between them?
When we last saw Hellcats, Marti had broken girl code by sleeping with Savannah's boyfriend, Dan. Why? Turns out Dan and Marti have history.
But is that any excuse? Or is her act unforgiveable? Star Aly Michalka says that somehow her character will redeem herself.
Being in a relationship with the roommate of your best friend, with whom you also have a past, can be complicated — especially when there are unresolved feelings. While Hellcats' Dan Patch is dating peppy cheerleading captain Savannah (Ashley Tisdale), it may not compare to his longtime friend and first love, Marti (Aly Michalka). Star Matt Barr tells TVGuide.com he's personally torn between which way his character should go, but that Patch will make a decision soon that he calls "radical."

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE -- The Gwinnett County Board of Education will conduct its annual Elementary and Middle School Gateway Review this week.
At its monthly meeting Thursday, the school board will decide whether to waive local promotion requirements for students who did not do as well as expected on standardized tests based on their classroom grades.
The vast majority of the more than 46,000 fourth-, fifth-, seventh- and eighth-graders earned passing scores on the county's mandatory Gateway tests and were promoted to the next grade level.
Gwinnett County Public Schools requires fourth- and seventh-grade students to pass each section of the state's Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests to be promoted to the next grade level. Additionally, the school system requires fifth- and eighth-graders to pass the Georgia Writing Assessments.
The state only requires third-graders to pass the reading portion of the CRCT and fifth- and eighth-graders to pass the reading and math portions of the CRCT to be promoted.
In the school system's annual Assessment Review Procedure, committees of teachers, principals and central office administrators review the records of any student with a minimum of a C semester average in the subjects tested by the Gateway who failed any part of the Gateway test.
The school board will meet in executive session Thursday to conduct the review. Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks will give a report of the review during the 7 p.m. business meeting.
The board's meeting will be held in the board room of the Instructional Support Center, 437 Old Peachtree Road N.W., Suwanee. Before the 7 p.m. meeting, the board will hold a 6:30 p.m. open forum for anyone who wishes to speak.
To view the complete agenda, visit www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us/board.nsf.

Soundchaser on tour supporting RAGE
Is obviously not a secret about my passion and love for Rage… I started listening to this band when I was 18; The first song I heard was "In A Nameless Time" from the album Lingua Mortis (1996). In Venezuela Back then,used to be very difficult to find european metal, had to be through the friend of a friend, who can find you a copy of the cassette of any european metal band. anyway… my friend Jorge Romero (from my former band Torre de Marfil) found the "Lingua Mortis" CD and we spend the whole night listening to it and drinking red wine … like 4 times in a row :) … but back then in 1998, Rage was about to release the XIII album, and I still remember that little preview on their website of the song "From the cradle to the grave" …
I became into a diehard fan of Peavy and his music, I bought most of the Rage's albums at once and I discovered their entire career, and even nowadays I still collecting those rare editions of news and old albums!
Just to name a few of my favourites songs:
*Changes (Sign of Heaven/Incomplete/Turn the Page)
*Saddle The Wind
*Gentle Murders
*Empty Hollow (Entire)
and so on, and on… I like them all actually!
My love is that big for this band that in my left arm I've a Tattoo of Rage XIII and the Soundchaser of "End of All Days"…
Rage has been a huge influence on my music, (just look at the name of my band… ;)) so just imagine how do I feel to share with all of you this lovely news on their 30th anniversary…

I wanted to let you know that on Sunday June 29th, St John UCC will be hosting Pioneer Day on church grounds from 9:30 to 4:00 including cemetery walks. I'm trying to get as many people with ties to the cemetery to attend. Were are digging deeper into the history of all the graves and need help from those tied to it. I can send you a pdf of the event info if you'd like.

Explanation for edit requests. Marietta (Heath) Witherspoon was first married to Rev. Frederick Witherspoon. Their son Fredrick Witherspoon #14526642 died in the civil war. Marietta 2nd married Isaac Lewis Olmstead. I don't have knowledge of her 1st husband's memorial to link wife and son to him. Her obituary is a bit confusing as to which children were from which marriage.

RE: Veronica at Dixon
Hi! Thank you for updating the memorial. While obviously not the happiest of places, at least all 2,189 who are buried there are now at peace.
It was interesting to read about Mr. Mabley and what he was able to do to bring the severely disabled a much greater measure of dignity and a chance to lead a productive life instead of a life chained to a bed or worse. I am hoping to obtain the records for all of the burials and to put them online. They all deserve to be remembered.
I hope and pray that God will bring you peace and happiness in your journey with your child.

The Unknown married to Benjamin Cawood was a woman by the name of Mary "Polly" McNew. She was born 10 APR 1790 in Washington County, Virginia. She was the daughter of Edward McNew and his wife Nancy. Sorry I don't know Nancy's maiden name.
Thank you for all you do for genealogists like me who can not get to Virginia to research.
Do you know the outcome of the trial of the four accused of her murder? Was her husband convicted? She was my husband's GGGG aunt.

The Season of Pentecost began with the Holy Spirit rushing in on the Day of Pentecost. During this longest season of the Church year we will look into Jesus' teachings and discern how they alter our lives and how we can follow them to be the people God calls us to be in God's world. Jesus' words are so familiar and so dear to us. We guard against their becoming so comfortable that they lose their power to change our lives.
We continue the worship service we began on Easter Day in our Rose Garden. It's "billed" for 9:00, but we usually begin about 9:20-9:30 — whenever a few people come and gather for Communion and prayer together. It's an informal service where we share our burdens, pray together, discuss the Gospel lesson and share Communion. Come join us on Sunday mornings!
We will continue to celebrate with our neighbors in the garden and in the church when the weather is bad. The door is wide open; we'll see what comes and how it shapes up. We'll see how our neighbors give us hope in Jesus' Resurrection.
Hope House, our day shelter on Austin Street, is going well and smoothly under the new management of Donna Earnest, with help from some of our friends who come in for services. A steady stream of neighbors come on weekdays to use the showers, telephone, mail services and laundry; a calm, quiet and upbeat atmosphere as Donna talks with and prays with our friends. We will be providing more services to increase hope in the lives of our neighbors. Stay tuned!
The Seeds to Success Garden on our lot behind the church building is looking at its third planting! Four new beds were built this spring and planted with vegetables for our neighbors. The fall Occupational Therapy class at LSU Medical School will offer their ideas and energy, along with our continuing partners: Project-ING, the LSU Agricultural Center and Shreveport Green. Classes on healthy eating and cooking are being offered to our neighbors by the Ag. Center, and plans are being laid for new possibilities as the garden in expanded. All for the glory of God and the health of our neighbors!
In the Season of Pentecost:
Every Wednesday: Holy Eucharist in the Chapel, using Enriching Our Worship liturgy, 12:15 pm
Every Saturday:
5:00 pm in the Chapel: Holy Eucharist, Rite I
Every Sunday
Around 9:20 am Communion in the Garden (or in the church if the weather is bad.) Informal; all are welcome!
11:00 am in the Church: Holy Eucharist, Rite II with hymns and sermon
9:45-12:30 Nursery in the Education Building
The Continuing Feast in the Undercroft: On the first Sunday each month we continue the Eucharistic Feast with a pot luck lunch after the 11:00 service — the best in town! It's a good time to meet and get to know one another. Please come!

Introducing the #selfiecasebrought to you by fashion blogger Beth Jones and caseable
Lets face it. We all do it, whether admittedly or not. Were talking about those selfies we all shamelessly take and share with the world. Lets just blame it on our narcissistic society. Were okay with that and so is our guest collaborator, fashion blogger and selfie addict Beth Jones of BJones Style. We love Beths attitude about selfies, Instead of hiding my selfie addiction, I decided to laugh about it and team up with caseable to let the world know were proud selfie addicts!
Thats exactly what we did. Together, we conceptualized and designed our very first #selfiecase.
#selfiecase is the case every selfie-obsessed individual needs. Its designed with your best selfie in mind; case in point with the fingers we traced onto the case. Youll also notice the bold reversed selfie hashtag, so itll read properly on that mirror you pose for your shot. But most importantly, your selfies dont deserve to be ruined with that boring case taking up space in your carefully edited photo. This one-of-a-kind #selfiecase design was influenced by Beths favorite art movement, pop art. Let the #selfiecase take your selfies to the next level.
Beths selfie tip: Hold the phone like so (see case), peer into the mirror and show off your latest outfit, haircut or favorite tee and snap away!
Designed by Beth Jones and caseable. Hand-crafted in Brooklyn. Made for the selfie-obsessed.
Available on iPhone 4/4s and iPhone 5/5s.

|Cookbook:Ginataan Ginataan
Ginataan, alternatively spelled guinataan, is a Filipino term which refers to food cooked with gata - the Filipino word for coconut milk.[1] Literally translated, ginataan means "done with coconut milk". Due to the general nature of the term, it can refer to a number of different dishes, each called ginataan, but distinct from one another.
Ginataan usually refers to viands, which are eaten with rice during the major meals of the day. It normally follows the form "ginataan na/ginataang + (whatever it is cooked with)". For example, ginataang hipon refers to shrimp cooked in coconut milk, ginataang gulay to an assortment of vegetables cooked in coconut milk, ginataang alimango is mud crabs cooked in coconut milk, while ginataang manok is chickens cooked in coconut milk . Coconut milk can also be added to existing dishes, as in ginataang adobo.[citation needed]
Ginataan is also a name shared by various desserts;[1] for example, binignit, a soup made with coconut milk, tubers, tapioca pearls, and sago. This soup is also called "giná-tan" in Bikolano, "ginettaán" in Ilokano, and "ginat-an" in Hiligaynon. If gummy balls made of pounded glutinous rice are added, it becomes a dish called bilo-bilo. Ginataang mais is another example of a dessert soup; a warm, sweet, thick gruel made with coconut milk, sweet corn and glutinous rice.
There are other dishes that are known by their own unique names, such as Bicol Express and pinakbet, which also nonetheless fall under the ginataan category because of the nature of the main ingredient, which is coconut milk.

Thermal Management
Indium Corporation is the leader in metal thermal interface materials (TIMs). All of our thermal interface materials are metal-based, which means they have a very high conductivity as compared to polymer-based thermal interface materials. Indium metal, for example, has a conductivity of 86W/mK and is 4 times softer than lead. It's ductility and thermal conductivity make it ideal as a compressible thermal interface material. For the thermal K values of other thermally conductive materials, check out our thermal K list.
Metal TIMs can be divided into two categories:
- Solder TIMs that reflow and melt to form a mechanical bond
- Compressible TIMs that serve as gap fillers and do not need heat to form a bond
Solder interconnects can also act as a thermal interface. Indium Corporation makes over 200 different alloys for solder preforms. These alloys can be pure indium, indium alloys, Pb-free, or Pb-contained. Please consult one of our technical support engineers to identify the best metal TIM for your application. Solder TIMs include:
- Solder Preforms
- Flux-Coated Preforms
Compressible (or non-reflow) TIMs include:
- Heat-Springs®
- Liquid Metal
Indium Corporation's metal TIMs can be used in the following applications:
- Solder Materials used for Die-Attach
- Re-usable Compressible TIMs for Burn-in and Test
- Solder Materials and Thermal Materials for IGBT Power Devices
- Solder Materials and Thermal Materials for RF Type Devices
- Solder for TIM1, TIM2 and TIM1.5 in Microprocessors

A 57-year-old former Sarpy County official has been given jail time and probation for stealing from the county.
Court records say Patrick Clarke, of Bellevue, on Monday was sentenced to 90 days in jail and three years of probation. He'd pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of theft and official misconduct after making a deal with prosecutors.
Prosecutors say Clarke used a county-issued gas card to fill up his personal vehicle from May 2011 to September 2012. He also was accused of stealing tools from the county. Clarke was the county's fleet services director.

By James Gibney

In the annals of failed nominees -- from Robert Bork and Tony Lake to Kimba Wood and John Tower -- Susan Rice's "withdrawal" from consideration for a nomination that was never actually made would rate as an asterisk.

That doesn't mean she wasn't treated remarkably badly, both by her Republican tormenters Senators John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham, who were more interested in blood than truth, and by President Barack Obama, who let her play a human pinata while he weighed the pros and cons of her formal nomination as secretary of state.

As unedifying and sordid as this spectacle was, is the U.S. the worse for Rice's withdrawal? I would argue not. Especially for this administration, Susan Rice was the wrong woman for the job. Don't get me wrong. She's clearly smart, tough, capable and experienced. And there's nothing wrong -- and something occasionally so right -- with giving vent to strong disagreements, even if that means flipping off an arrogant colleague. That's just what I'd look for in a national security adviser, someone who has to rap knuckles and crack heads for the president.

But that's not what I'd want in the secretary of state for Obama, a president known more for his tight control of big decisions than his backslapping rapport with foreign leaders. Give Hillary Clinton props for logging the miles, cultivating the relationships (especially in Asia), and not rocking the boat. If some man steps into her Manolos, he could do worse than to follow in her footsteps.

And who better than Senator John Kerry, with his rock jaw, salt-and-pepper hair, deep voice and not very active policy imagination.

So, here's my free advice, Mr. President: Make Rice your national security adviser -- and be sure to invite McCain and Graham to her swearing in. Nominate Kerry as Sec O'State. Take your very smooth, capable Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, former ambassador to Russia and a diplomat's diplomat, and put him at the United Nations. Problem solved. Next?

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks trade for Angels' outfielder Mark Trumbo
The Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday traded for Los Angeles Angels' outfielder Mark Trumbo, as first confirmed by the Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro.
The D-backs sent starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs to the Angels and outfielder Adam Eaton to the Chicago White Sox, who sent pitcher Hector Santiago to Los Angeles. The D-backs will also receive a player-to-be-named from each team, according to reports.
Trumbo, who can also play first base, is a power-hitter who's notched 95 home runs in his past three seasons, including a career high 34 in 2013. Trumbo is under team control for three seasons -- one on his rookie contract and two arbitration-eligible years.
The 27-year-old from Orange, Calif., was drafted by the Angels in the 18th round of the 2004 MLB Draft. He made his debut on Sept. 11, 2010, and has played in more than 140 games in each of the three seasons since.
Trumbo finished second in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2011 and was an All-Star in 2012.
Trumbo sports a career .250 batting average with a .469 slugging percentage. He does strike out at a high clip, getting punched out in 27.1 percent of his plate appearances.
He's split his time between first base, left field and right field in his career. Trumbo also registered eight games at third in 2012, but is not expected to return to that position with Martin Prado manning it for the D-backs.
The D-backs could acquire three players after Thursday's Rule 5 draft -- both prospects from the Trumbo trade, and a player to be named from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Heath Bell trade.
Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro believes the D-backs will acquire outfielder Brandon Jacobs from the White Sox and pitcher A.J. Schugel from the Angels.
Good possibility the prospects coming to Arizona could be Brandon Jacobs OF with White Sox and AJ Schugel pitcher from the Angels.— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) December 10, 2013
Jacobs has hit .262 with 49 home runs over six minor league seasons, with career-best .303 average and 17 home runs in 2011.
Schugel, a 5-foot-11 right-hander out of Central Arizona College, was a 25th-round pick in the 2010 draft. Schugel is still transitioning as a pitcher after playing infield in high school and college, but has a low- to mid-90s fastball with good movement, according to MLB.com.

Last year: Rose won his first major championship, closing with an even-par 70 at Merion for a two-shot victory over Phil Mickelson and Jason Day. He became the first Englishman in 43 years to win the U.S. Open, finishing at 1-over 281. Mickelson had the 54-hole lead and reclaimed the lead by holing out for eagle on the 10th hole. But he made bogey twice with a wedge in his hand and closed with a 74. It was his sixth runner-up finish in the U.S.Open.

It's not easy to see it now, but there's opportunity galore for a watershed U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 this week.
It's looking less and less likely that the era of Tiger and Phil will endure much longer. And while no one has truly filled golf's superstar void yet, the U.S. Open is a great place to start doing that.
Tiger Woods won't even tee it up because of an ominous back injury. And Phil Mickelson, who hasn't played well this season, comes in saddled with the added distraction of an insider-trading investigation.
If Mickelson, who has six painful second-place finishes in his unrequited U.S. Open quest, were to complete his personal grand slam with a victory at Pinehurst, there'd be no bigger story. But that also would be a seismic surprise with his game and his baggage.
''I don't see him hitting on all cylinders well enough to win,'' two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange said. ''He hasn't been playing well, and this [insider-trading report] on top of it. I really believe he probably is [innocent], but it's still weighing on you. It's not good timing for Phil.''
What golf needs now is a new hero. There would be no better place to usher in a new standout than a national championship at a revered Donald Ross design.
Rory McIlroy, who seemed poised to ascend when he lapped the U.S. Open field at Congressional in 2011, has fallen back into the pack. Justin Rose, a heart-warming champion on Father's Day at Merion a year ago, could make a big statement with another U.S. Open, but a repeat would be a bigger surprise than last year.
McIlroy, Adam Scott and Mickelson are the betting favorites, but that's more about bettors than golfers. If Bubba Watson decides to hit it straight, the two-time Masters champion could make a major statement without shocking the golf world.
Then again, the U.S. Open trophy has regularly been the domain of one-hit wonders lately. Webb Simpson (2012), Graeme McDowell (2010) and Lucas Glover (2009) all caught lightning with a golf club for a week, then returned to mere-mortal status.
What this tournament could use is a more inspirational surge, by a Matt Kuchar, a widely admired everyman veteran who's vaguely similar to Payne Stewart, who won at Pinehurst in 1999.
''Is there a dominant player who's playing better than anybody else right now? I don't think so,'' two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North said. ''This is as open an Open as we've ever had, and a guy like Matt Kuchar has to be one of the favorites. He has great patience. He's a good solid ball-striker. And he has grown immensely the last three or four years.''
Kuchar, 35, who's third in the FedEx Cup standings, is due to break through to a major win. But if you want a champion with a chance to resonate for a long time, Jordan Spieth, the 20-year-old who burst on the scene with a dramatic playoff win at the John Deere Classic last year, is a player to watch. Spieth, fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, is exceptionally young. But in leading the Masters by two strokes on Sunday before finishing tied for second, Spieth showed he has game.
''I'm a huge Jordan Spieth fan,'' former Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger said. ''He's exactly the role-model-type player this tour needs. He's a mega-talent. He's replaced for me what [two-time U.S. Open champion] Retief Goosen used to be in his demeanor, the way he goes about things. I love to watch Jordan Spieth.''
Adding extra spice to this week's U.S. Open drama is the course makeover by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Forget that cliche about "U.S. Open rough.'' The rough at Pinehurst has been supplanted by pine straw, wiregrass, sandy scrub, hardpan — which will produce all manner of interesting lies and options.
''It is what they want to call undergrowth,'' Strange said. ''I call it weeds — [the] worst-kept lawn you've ever seen. It's going to be difficult. If it stays firm, it's going to be a tough challenge.''
This Open also will be marked by a first and a last. For the first time, the Women's Open will be played on the same course, a week after the men. And this will be the last Open televised by NBC. In 2015, Fox Sports, which signed a 12-year mega-deal to enter the golf world, takes over America's national championship.
With Tiger and Phil on the wane, you can be sure Fox execs are hoping a star is born at Pinehurst this week.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WICHITA, Kan. -- The man accused of killing a Derby mother and stabbing her teenage son last year has pleaded guilty to the crimes.
Charles A. Beck Jr., 40, suffocated to death Lonnie Staggs in her home in Derby on September 1, 2013. He also tried to strangle the woman's 15-year-old son with a cord. He did cut the boy's face and neck with a knife before the boy ran to a bedroom and shut the door.
Beck pleaded guilty Friday to charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. He will be sentenced May 21.
The man accused of killing a Derby mother and stabbing her teenage son earlier this week was charged today with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.
Charles Alfred Beck, Jr., 40, is accused of strangling Lonnie Staggs and attempting to strangle and then stabbing her 15-year-old son, Nathan, court documents said. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 19.
Police were originally called to a disturbance just before 10 a.m. Sunday in the 1400 block of North Nixon Street, near K-15 and 71st Street South.
The mother was taken to a Wichita hospital in extremely critical condition where she later died. Her son was released after being treated for a stab wound to the neck.
Beck was arrested Sunday evening in Houston County, Missouri.

Let me tell you a not very politically correct story. Almost 30 years ago, when I was still living in Baton Rouge, I had a friend who worked on the LSU campus. LSU was proudly hosting the International Special Olympics that year, and staff who spoke a second language were urged to volunteer as translators. My friend was fluent in French, and, eager to miss a morning of Clerk/Typist II drudgery, he dutifully signed up and was assigned to a soccer game. Well, by the luck of whatever, one of the teams – the French one, I think – happened to be mostly young girls, and the other, from a country I can't recall, was mostly older boys – really, Keith said, men. So the whistle blew to start the game, and the older boys' team, God love them, proceeded to literally trample their opponents. Irate parents rushed down onto the field, screaming things the officials couldn't understand, and…well. That's the story. Maybe you had to be there.
I couldn't help but think of that incident when DH read me this article from the sports page. Two Christian schools girls' basketball teams played a mismatched game, and The Covenant School ended up beating Dallas Academy (which only has 20 girls in the whole school) 100-0. They just couldn't quit scoring. (Favorite quote: "'I think the bad judgment was in the full-court press and the 3-point shots,' said Renee Peloza, whose daughter plays for Dallas Academy.")
I am happy to report that Covenant is feeling winner's remorse and has now asked to forfeit the game.
In the statement on the Covenant Web site, [the Covenant headmaster] said the game "does not reflect a Christ-like and honorable approach to competition. We humbly apologize for our actions and seek the forgiveness of Dallas Academy, TAPPS and our community."
Isn't that nice? I'm not being sarcastic. We all get carried away and do things we wish we hadn't, and then we try to make amends as best we can. I think it's lovely that in this age where win-at-all-costs sports is seen as beneficial to building children's character, a Christian school (or at least its headmaster – there's no quote from the coach) is behaving in a Christ-like fashion. Of course, Christ would have probably held back in the fourth quarter, but still.
Happily, the Dallas girls are putting it behind them, viewing the game as a "learning experience." What's more, all the hoorah has scored them an invitation from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to see an NBA game from his suite

Suspect arrested in Middleburg neighborhood crime spree
Updated On: Jun 04 2014 11:56:36 PM EDT
Clay County Sheriff's deputies have arrested 23-year-old Joshua Yezbick in connection with a series of burglaries and thefts in a Middleburg neighborhood.
Yezbick (pictured below) faces four counts of burglary and four counts of grand theft, and investigators said he didn't go far to find his victims — he lives within walking distance of all of them.
"I went out there and all of our lawn equipment was gone," said Jeff Arp, one of Yezbick's neighbors in Pine Ridge. "They took a weed eater, they took our edger, our blower was left there. Some of the other neighbors cleared their blowers, too. They took everything out of the sheds."
Arp said his first thought after his backyard shed was targeted by a thief was protecting his four children.
"I've got a privacy fence on the side of my yard, so my first concern was did they walk through my gate?" Arp said. "I have children in the house, so that's a concern."
Arp was one of four homeowners hit in the tight-knit Middleburg neighborhood of Pine Ridge. He said he lost more than $200 worth of items, but others lost more.
"Somebody had a pressure washer that was stolen, so you know about $400-$500 there," Arp said. "We believe, somebody had a handgun taken, and we believe that's probably tied to it as well."
According to Yezbick's arrest report, he was pawning the stolen goods and pocketing the cash.
"He's young," Arp said. "Hopefully he's going to learn from this. Hopefully this is that slap on the wrist that some young boys get and hopefully it'll straighten him out."
With a newly formed neighborhood watch in place, Arp said the crime spree has taught the neighbors a valuable lesson and brought them closer together.
"We had a good talking with them, so it's opened up everybody's eyes to let them know, 'Hey, let's keep the garage shut,'" Arp said. "When you're done with your bikes, let's get them in the garage. Where before we took that all for granted."
Yezbick is currently being held on $120,000 bond.

Mushroom Soup--Diet Friendly Version???
One of my favorite lunches is the amazing cream of wild mushroom soup at a local place. I can't even imagine how many calories it has...but it is so fantastic. Does anyone know how to make an amazing mushroom soup that isn't ridiculously fattening? Please share!
Though I've not done this with creamy mushroom soup, one trick is to replace heavy cream with evaporated skim milk. You could always add a small amount of cream for richness without instant artery blockage. It probably won't taste exactly the same, but then again, you're reducing a lot of the saturated fat.
I usually start by sauteeing onions in olive oil, then add garlic, then add a mix of mostly crimini/some white button mushrooms. Meanwhile, I soak some good quality wild mushrooms in boiling water. When the stuff in the pan is done, I blend it with the soaked wild mushrooms, and just enough of the soaking liquid to get everything moving. I blend till it's smooth and add liquid till it's just a touch thicker than I like, and then add a swirl of half and half. The mushrooms have enough body that you don't really feel cheated...I usually top it off with fresh thyme and a Parmesan crisp
re: bex109
That sounds great! I'm going to a mushroom festival this weekend and I'm going to buy a variety to try it. I'm thinking that it would be nice to also have some pieces of whole mushrooms in there, too. Thanks again....
re: bex109
I second this.
An alternative might be to try puree roasted or sauteed cauliflower. I makes a nice, creamy blend that might be great with mushrooms. For seasoning mushroom I like a little sage and cajun spice blend.
If you add about 1/4 white rice/per quart of liquid to the mix ...depending on what recipe you use it will be added at a different time....you need about 25 minutes at simmer. Then, when you are closer to finished, blend it. That will give you the thickness you want and you probably only need a tiny bit of milk or cream to get where you want to go.
That was a Julia Child solution.
re: The Old Gal
Great trick! Deborah Madison's asparagus soup also calls for rice. It gives it a nice "creaminess" without adding any fat.
re: The Old Gal
I use JC's technique for all my "cream of" soups and they turn out great. Pure veggie essence -- she suggests adding a dollop of sour cream to enrich when serving.
If you use some potato in the soup, puree it with the broth, and enrich with low-fat crème fraîche, it should be lovely. That last is hard to find in the US, but you could look at the fat content of your locally available crema mexicana -- it might just be low-fat, for reasons of cheapness. Or use low-fat plain yogurt (although, again, I know that's tough to find in the US, of good quality at least).
I've had good luck with substituting the cream with either fat free greek yogurt or fat free half & half. Personally, I like the tang that the yogurt gives the soups. Plus, it gives it a bit of body.
I just want to say thank you for all the suggestions. I ended up adding a little rice to the soup and cooked it. I then blended it and it turned out to be so creamy and delicious. I even needed to add more chicken broth to it because it was so thick. Thank you to everyone.
if you put equal parts cashews and water in a blender and blend long enough you get cashew cream. That along with some nutritional yeast makes a nice substititue for heavy cream. Finish your soup with it. Don't boil it.
Silver Palate has an excellent mushroom soup with no cream. It also freezes well. Let me know if you want a paraphrase.
Well, I know I'm over two years late for this, but my all-time favourite, fat free "creamy" mushroom soup is so good I really wanted to share for anyone who stumbled across the thread! It's a modification of one served at the Oliver & Bonacini restaurant empire in Toronto.
Wild & Tame Mushroom Soup
Serves 4
1/2 large, sweet onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 sprig fresh thyme, chopped
1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
2 1/2 cups (6.5oz) assorted mushrooms, chopped (I like a mix of lobster, cremini, porcini, morel, shiitake and white button - rehydrate any dried ones in boiling water)
2 cups water
2 cups mushroom stock
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large, non-stick pot, saute onions, garlic and herbs in 1/3 - 1/2 cup water until onions are translucent.
Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, 10 minutes. Add the water and stock, cook 20 minutes.
If using an immersion blender, puree in pot. Otherwise, allow to cool slightly, then puree in batches in a blender before returning to pot and reheating.
Season to taste before serving.

re: jo_jo_ba
I love the idea of "tame" mushrooms
re: jo_jo_ba
This is basically how I make my mushroom soup... but I use all mushrooom broth.
this is one of the best and healthiest i have bookmarked in my online recipe collection:
It's not a creamy mushroom soup, but still has plenty of mushroomy flavor!
The changes I make are: just using a bit of olive oil instead of the margarine, use veggie stock, and crimini mushrooms (not fresh porcinis).
re: danna
Hi Danna,
I use vegetable broth because I am a vegetarian but I imagine beef broth would lend a deeper flavor and make it even better. I've also used the Pacific Natural Foods mushroom broth with great results. Isn't it nice when eating healthfully doesn't feel like a sacrifice? :-)
re: arp29
That mushroom broth sounds good...I need to keep some around in case i'm cooking for my veg friends. A few years ago I had one over at the last minute and was all pleased with myself because in addition to the venison my husband and I were having, I had cooked lentils, butternut squash soup and these (weird) apple sauce and sourdough bread charlottes. About half way through the soup I realized i was poisoning her w/ chicken stock and began obsessing over what I would say if she decided to ask me !!
I like to make a wild mushroom and barley soup. You can puree a portion of the soup to get that creamy texture without the cream.
Here is a good recipe: http://books.google.ca/books?id=YVGVF...
