New details are being revealed about the case of a teenager accused of killing his stepbrother.
In an interview with police, Joshua Young describes smoking marijuana with his father.
"It started off on my first home visit on Christmas Eve. And then every time I was visiting, we smoked. And then when I moved in, it was every day," said Young.
Young also told investigators his father, Joshua Gouker, gave marijuana to Trey Zwicker.
Gouker confessed in court to killing the 14-year-old and said he acted alone.
Gouker also told investigators he killed Zwicker because the teenager had stolen his marijuana and a lighter.

The month of June ended with a bang this year, and many of us learned a new word: derecho. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as "a line of intense, widespread, and fast-moving windstorms and sometimes thunderstorms that moves across a great distance and is characterized by damaging winds."
Um, yep.
We weren't the only ones affected by the June 29 storms—there were millions of people in several states without power for quite a few days and the damage was dramatic. Here on the hill, summer scholars were sent home; petrie dishes suffered; offices were closed, and trees broke. The campus and most of Granville, didn't get full power back until six days later, and most of those days saw the thermometer top 100 degrees.
But we plan for these things, so even though the campus was shut down for a week, there were generators in action, and the fine folks in Facilities and Security were hard at work in spite of the extreme heat, keeping people safe, clearing the roads, and restoring Denison to its lovely self. In addition, senior officials in Security and Safety, Student Development, Finance and Management, and Dining Services also jumped in to help students and staff endure the conditions.
So, here's a view of Denison you don't usually see. We'll call it the "windblown" look.

Sustainability Curriculum
Sustainability in the Curriculum
Faculty Sustainability Learning Communities
During the 2011-2012 and 2013-2014 academic years, faculty met monthly to work on integrating sustainability into their teaching. As a result of this work, faculty have developed new sustainability focused lessons, courses, and programs. Below are some resources from these learning communities.
Click here for 2011-2012 participants and projects
Click here for 2013-2014 participants and projects
A definition of sustainability in three parts:
1. The Brundtland Commission defined sustainable development in 1987 as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
2. More recently the sustainable business community has endeavored to replace business's traditional focus on profit with an alternative logic balancing three Es: Environment, Equity and Economy.
3. Informing all these ideas about sustainable practice is an overarching commitment to equilibrium. Sustainable systems of any sort balance inputs with outputs, and achieve a reproducible condition in a durable, balanced cycle.
Characteristics of Quality Sustainability Education:
· Builds awareness of implications beyond the self
· Interdisciplinary
· Empowering not overwhelming
· Action oriented
· Focuses on long term not short term
· Emphasizes systemic thought
· Considers intergenerational equality
· Provides tools for thoughtful living

5 Reasons I'm Not Sorry for Burning Down Your Walmart
Dear Walmart #6908,
You don't know me. Not by name, anyways. The police are referring to me as a person of interest. Internally, you're probably referring to me as the guy who set fire to your store.
You're probably quite reasonably asking why I did this. "Who would commit such an act?" I imagine you saying. Well, notwithstanding my love for committing acts, this time I had some pretty good reasons. Here they are.
#5. You Kind of Deserved It
Let's get this one out of the way early. You, the management of Walmart #6908, are a huge bag of dinks.
The biggest.
You may have noticed that your Black Friday event was on a Thursday. That seems to me an odd mistake to make; after all, the name "Black Friday" itself contains some pretty valuable clues as to what day of the week it should occur on. Anyone who's taken an introductory calendar skills course should be able to schedule such an event properly.
"No, the squares represent days. Do we ... do we have to start again?"
In fact, I'm pretty sure that you deliberately scheduled your Black Friday event on a Thursday, knowing full well that your employees and customers would be forced to skip Thanksgiving to be there. I have a hard time imagining why you'd do this -- profit alone can't be enough, surely -- and am forced to conclude that you were actually trying to steal Thanksgiving, like some kind of turkey-loathing Grinch, living in your hilltop cave, listening to us in the city below as we sing our traditional Thanksgiving songs.
So I think you can agree that you were acting at least a little bit like a bag of dinks, and any damages you suffered on that dark and mis-scheduled night could be considered an act of karmic retribution.
#4. I Didn't Even Start the First Fire
Admittedly, none of your customers seemed to have a problem skipping Thanksgiving, although that may simply be because they had trouble with the concept of "thanks," much as they did with concepts like "please" and "Sorry for spitting in your hair." Now, on an individual basis, I'm sure these are all excellent, upstanding people; there's no crime in wanting to save money. But en masse, I'm sad to say that their excellence wanes and fades and farts away.
A situation you put them in, I might point out. Stacking your customers 200 deep, ensuring that they have less turkey in their bellies than they would normally prefer and telling them that only the fastest and punchiest will get the best deals? You knew what was going to happen even before you opened those doors.
Being near the back of the crowd, it took me a couple of minutes to get to the doors, so I didn't see how it started. But by the time I made it inside the store, it already looked like a Gomorrah of Everyday Low Prices.
"And lo, they came, and demanded that the Rollbacks be brought forth, so that the men might have intercourse with them."
#3. Seriously, You Assholes Deserved It So Much
The primary reason I was there on Mislabeled Friday was to secure one of your "door-crashers," specifically the Crap-E-Print Printer you advertised for $29.99.
It was going to be a gift.
It was probably the printers themselves causing the fires, I now realize, so shoddily built they were, bursting into flames with even the slightest of mishandling. Indeed, by the time I found the pallet of them, the surrounding area was already littered with printers bursting into shoddy, low-quality flames. So crappy, low-quality products -- that's another strike against you.
Also, could you assholes not come up with a better way of putting door-crashers on display other than by hastily unwrapping a pallet of them in the middle of a mob? Animals at the zoo are fed with more dignity.
And more creativity.
I won't go into all the details of how I secured my own printer, but know that it involved no small amount of guile and childish screaming.

NIAGARA FALLS – New York State may at last be preparing to undo the namesake project of its "master builder."
New plans for the Robert Moses Parkway – which whisks tourists into and out of Niagara Falls and separates the city from its precious waterfront – could spell the end for the controversial stretch later this week.
State officials are mum on the plans, but government and business leaders hope Wednesday's announcement will include the removal of the four-lane highway along the upper Niagara Gorge rim from the waterfalls to the northern city line.
It's a change locals have been screaming about for decades – and one that could create a new tourism corridor while saving residential neighborhoods that are slipping into decay.
"The Robert Moses Parkway has become the Peace Bridge of Niagara Falls," said Mayor Paul A. Dyster. "It's become symbolic of our inability to get big projects done. So managing somehow to get something done on the Robert Moses … would be very, very positive psychologically, as well as practically."
The state does not have funding set aside for the project and is by most accounts years away from any type of real construction.
But Dyster and others say that could come quickly if New York decides to grant the city its decades-old wish of removing the concrete ribbon that walls off pedestrians from the gorge.
Business owners are skeptical – the state has announced grand plans for the roadway before – but excited about the possibilities.
"It'd be great," said Rick Crogan, president of the Main Street Business Association. "I would reap the benefits of it, I would see development. … Just the potential of the empty buildings that would become storefronts or the empty houses that would have kids living in them. That's what we're going to see."
As it stands, the Moses stretches from the North Grand Island bridges through Niagara Falls and north to Lewiston and Youngstown. The stretch bringing tourists from Interstate 190 to Niagara Falls State Park would remain but would soon include a lower speed limit and pedestrian access points to the Niagara River.
But the northern stretch – from the Niagara Falls tourism district north to Lewiston – could be removed under new plans the state will unveil at a public open house from 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Conference Center Niagara Falls, 101 Old Falls St.
The highway was built by the state Power Authority – and named after Moses, its chairman – during the 1960s as a way to provide unparalleled views for motorists across the Niagara Frontier.
But along with the collapse of the Schoellkopf Power Plant and the flight of city residents to the suburbs, the road project would eventually become identified as a major factor in the decline of business and residential life in the Niagara Falls core.
"Those three things, all working together, brought about very dramatic changes to the North End of the City of Niagara Falls," Dyster said. "And for most of the years since, there's been a consensus, at least within the city, that trying to undo those changes is a prerequisite for moving forward with the revitalization of that part of the city."
After years of complaints, the state has taken up the task in recent years with public meetings and the unveiling of six designs for the northern stretch, ranging from total reconstruction of the roadway to total removal from Niagara Falls to Lewiston.
After public comment, the state has narrowed those designs and will present them Wednesday. Another round of changes and public comment will follow, with construction to take place within a few years in the best-case scenario.
Meanwhile, city leaders, U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, are all trying to corral funds for a project that could top $100 million. They and many residents just want state officials to make up their minds so a plan can begin to take shape.
"Even just arriving at a decision on what we're going to do would have a positive effect," Dyster said. "[You'd see] more people moving into the neighborhood, more people investing in the neighborhood."
Crogan, the business leader, did so six years ago, moving from Atlanta after hearing the promise of a redesigned waterfront along the Niagara Gorge.
He sees the removal of the parkway – and the proposed creation of a two-lane park road set back from the gorge rim – as a key to connecting both residents and tourists to the untapped asset that is the gorge.
"Eco-tourism is so big, with the younger generation that's graduating college now, they believe in that stuff," Crogan said. "There's so much opportunity for restaurants, shops, you'll have hiking stores, all that stuff on side streets."
"How cool [would it be to] be able to walk to the gorge again?" he asked. "It's just a whole different lifestyle we're not accustomed to that we've lost for years."

I bought this primarily to give to my mother, who suffers somewhat with arthritic hands, which have caused problems when she has to open jars, etc. She told me that, after only a week on these tablets taking one per day, her pain was drastically reduced and she felt more dexterously capable than she had in years. Clearly, this is one powerful anti-inflammatory, along with other things. The price was also unbeatable for 90 tablets at 500mg, which makes the price you'd typically pay on the high street (often for only 30 tablets) look like a joke minus the amusing punchline. I shall definitely be back for more-these are highly recommended.
Excellent product and will definitely buy again. Great value for money and like how the capsules don't have any kind of after taste like some products do.
The gold standard as far as Omega 3 supplements go. I am using this as part of my pre contest for mens physique, I take 3 in morning, 3 lunch time, and 3 before bed. Thanks Goes Well With:I also use peptopro, whey impact protein and alpha men.
Having conducted research into the benefits of Krill Oil, and reputable retailers of such a product, I was relieved to discover that Krill Oil was offered for sale by My Protein at a price that I considered reasonable, in comparison to other retailers. Following receipt of the product, on Friday 3rd January 2014, I've taken one 500mg capsule daily. Thus far, I've reported the following benefits: I've witnessed a marked improvement in the overall condition of my skin, hair and nails; After three days' consumption, I'd noticed that my body didn't seem to be as stiff and as achy following a night's sleep; and Upon beginning consumption, during which I'd begun to suffer from a head cold, the associated symptoms remained restricted to a blocked nose, which has since subsided. Additionally, since beginning consumption, I'm also pleased to report that the capsules have not produced any un-welcome reflux, something which I've previously encountered with triglyceride forms of fish oil. Unfortunately, due to my recent head cold, I'm unable to comment upon the effectiveness of Krill Oil and its sub-component, Astaxanthin, as a supplement to support one's sporting goals, however, due to the anti-inflammatory properties displayed by both, I'm hopeful that they will provide support as I begin my quest to venture from the confines of the swimming pool to open-water swimming. Goes Well With:Water.
Started having knee pain due to excess walking in my job. Has been going on for 6 months. Tried these and within about 2 weeks the pain was gone. I thought it may just be coincidence so I came off them and the pain returned.......back on and the pain went. That's all the proof I need! Taking two a day. Such a great product.
I have been taking Antarctic Krill Oil since July and I have noticed a great improvement with my skin, hair and nails. I have also noticed that my weight is now shifting again after being in limbo for some time and the injury to my knee which happened in March is finally feeling much better. I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening, a great product and will buy again.
Have had this about 2 weeks now and have found my lower back pain has reduced a huge amount I have never been this pain free for years. This has to be the best value out there I used to take code liver oil but I shall now be taking this for the foreseeable future. I am very impressed with the service I receive from Myprotein and I will always buy my supplements from them.Goes Well With:glucosamine
Great. Does what it says on teh tin. Started two weeks ago and my joints feel better, not as much cracking and aching the day after the gym.
very fast delivery,easy to take,much cheaper than other brands that mask the krill smell with another/and taste,man up and get them down your neck.you have more than likely smelt and tasted much worse[and not complained]Goes Well With:any drink or food
Best value on the web, like for like. Good service & delivery. Most importantly, the product does the job it supposed to do. Nuff said ;o)
Potent source of DHA/EPA. Proven to be more effective than Omega 3 alone. Highly recommend, the science is there. All my joints are great and it takes a while for serum levels to rise. This is a long term solution.Goes Well With:A good lifestyle and nutrition plan.
This Antarctic Krill Oil is one of the best krill oils I have ever had. The taste is good and not so disgusting like other products.
It's Krill Oil. It's not going to be ultra-tasty and filled with butterfly nectar and unicorn tears. However, it gets the Omega-3 into you, and it does so without giving you fishy breath and a feeling as though you swallowed the contents of your aquarium.Goes Well With:Breakfast.
Previous to my order I had started using krill oil capsules to help look after my knee joints which had started to show signs of painful arthritis. I bought my first supply from Holland and Barrett, so they were quite expensive but started to work brilliantly after about two weeks of regular use (1000mg a day). Since transferring to using MyProtein krill capsules the improvements have, well, improved! Not only are my knees totally pain-free, the actual movement of the knee joint has returned to completely normal. I will now stick with MyProtein krill capsules, partly because they are cheaper, but also because they seem to be working even better than the Holland and Barrett alternative.
yeah so once you get accustomed to the smell, and mind you it has a strong smell of a shrimp-like nature. got 250 pills one a day so should be good for half a year or so. don't know if i should be taking 2? on the diet and weight loss goal they say take 1-2 pills a day in the morning. Will try 2 when trying to shred fat. small pill, easy to swallow, funky smell but i don't mind.Goes Well With:water
This is a great product for those that suffer from dry or achey joints, miles better than high strength omega fish oils in this respect. I'd recommend these to anyone lifting heavy on the regular, those recovering from a joint injury and those that want to protect themselves from all of the above. Tiny tablets, big punch, allow at least a week or so for the effects to become apparent. Enjoy!
Would recommend this product. Skin looks much better since taking these and also helping with hip pain I have. Plus point is no after taste. Don't be put off by the fish smell when opening bottle.
Only been using it for a week or so but can already feel the benefit. Can't wait to review in a month.
Seems to work fine. No colds / flus so far this winter season. Fingers crossed. I keep product in the fridge, but there is still a "fishy" odour every time I open the bottle. However, no fishy aftertaste, which is much more important to me. Product arrived promptly and safely and I will certainly be using MyProtein again in the future
I've ordered this oil for the first time and I am very satisfied. Excellent service! I hope in future in free shipping all across the EU with no restrictions.
Has a positive effect on the muscles and brain activity.
The first batch I got of these from Mp included some capsules that leaked, so they all got very messy and smelly. This batch is fine, just a faint fishy smell. Like other krill oil I have used krill doesn't give any fishy reflux like some fish oil I have used. There's good evidence that it is an excellent source of omega 3 and it's more sustainable than many fish oils. It would get a full 5 stars if it was MSC or MCS certified. I don't often eat enough fish in a week to get my Omega 3 so taking one of these daily and eating some fish covers me I think.Goes Well With:Water, with/after food.
Excellent product, very easy to consume and leave no after taste which is a result on its own
Excellent product. Keeps my finger joints free for playing my bagpipes and .my knees free for marching. I only need one a day too
Excellent product, they do everything cod liver oil does and more, I had palpitations quite often so I looked into what I could do to fix it as the hospital couldn't find anything wrong with me (not doing their job properly), I came across Krill oil, they took about 2 weeks to start working and now after many months consuming this product I have a healthy heart, I also had elbow pain from body-building and now I don't get elbow pain any more. They don't taste of anything, easy to swallow but they smell strong which isn't a problem as it is derived from fish, makes sense.Goes Well With:anything
They're easy to swallow and they don't repeat on you like other fish oils. When you open the bottle it might reek but you don't get the taste when you actually consume it - thankfully.Goes Well With:any drink - probably better with water
This Antarctic Krill Oil smells terrible but there's no taste or after taste and no fishy burps. It works great and has worked wonders on my dodgy knees. Goes Well With:water
Astounded! Training for a half marathon and since upping my runs from 6 to 8 now ten miles 3x per week I developed aches in and just above my knees on post run days. I started the kill oil on a non run day and the following day did my ten miles in a personal best time without any soreness in my knees. The personal best I can't attribute to the kill oil but the knee aches haven't come back. I'm no whisp of a runner either at 16st my knees endure some serious stress. I've not adjusted any other training variables so It can only be down to the kill oil. It however doesn't feel as though it minimizes muscle soreness from weight training but for joint pain its a saviour. I'm currently on Warfarin (blood thinner) and because of those I'm not able to take anti inflamatories like iburofen or aspirin. I'm therefore very pleased that the oil works especially as quickly as it did.
Got this for my heart palpitations and it definitely works.Goes Well With:any drink
I bought these Antarctic Krill Oil capsules as I've read that krill oil is more effective than fish oil, so you don't need to take such large quantities to get the benefits, both to mind, joints etc. I'm very pleased with the product. They're easy to swallow and they don't repeat on you or make you burp. Just take one each morning, it couldn't be easier.
This Antarctic Krill Oil was recommended by my chiropractor after a fall. I've been taking 2 a day for 2 years now along with my wife who has arthritic ankle which plays up in the winter, and we both feel 100% better. We have recommended it to friends and family.
I have been taken these Antarctic Krill Oil tablets for a few weeks now and I really love the results. My knee has been so much better despite all the training I am doing. I didn't see the results straight away, it took a week and a half to start feeling the improvements. It's highly recommended.
After starting on Antarctic Krill Oil, I feel more alert and more healthy.
Antarctic Krill Oil is a great product with no fishy after taste. Works wonders for my knee's on high mileage cycling.
Antarctic Krill Oil is a fantastic product that set me back on the road to sound health just after a week's usage. The delivery was a bit later than planned, but the goodness of the product compensated.Goes Well With:Just normal water
I found that these stopped any clicking or joint aches and took about a week to notice the effects.
"Make no mistake, at £50 for 4 months supply this is not a cheap way to get your daily dose of fishy oils. However, it is worth every penny. I'm on my third 240 capsule pot of this now, my second in succession after trying it out last year. At 45 years old, I do tend to creak a little getting up in the mornings. Or at least I used to anyway. Since using this product, I'm a lot more fluid in my movements, morning creaks have disappeared and the beginnings of aches in my joints have vanished. I haven't picked up any colds or viral infections either but that might just be coincidence. I cannot recommend this product highly enough, particularly to older fitness freaks, those with joint issues and those who dislike fish. If you do take the plunge, don't expect to see results overnight - it took about four to six weeks before I began to notice the improvements in my well-being. Oh, and no fishy burps either! This supplement for me is an essential and one that I shall keep on using. Shame there are no multi-buy discounts available."
I have not been taking this long enough to give valid assessment of its efficacy
Alot of positive reviews on here but cant help but think they are either fake or massively swayed. The product is as stated, great quality and fair price point in comparison to the competition. Down points: Capsules are not halal- If it were these would definately sell more. AS for benefits: It is an oil based product and it takes atleast 2-4weeks to notice any effects let alone reviews stating "massive improvement in hair skin and nails". BS!! Nails take around 3 months to grow through so for someone to say they have major improvements as such is either lying or getting the benefits from another product they have been using for a long while. Not sure how superior this product is over standard fish oil but 2 caps a day along with fish oil is the current protocol along with msm glucosamine and chondroitin. Will review back in a month and see if any improvements. I have been on this 2 weeks now and nothing noticeable.Goes Well With:msm, glucosamine and chondroitin- after a meal along with fish oil

This review is from Badge Holders - Neck Hanging Style 2922:
I used the Avery online design service to design name tags for a few employees. I was very happy with the result - the design was simple, clear and attractive. I was able to upload our logo into the design easily, and finding colors to match our theme wasn't difficult either. The finished product arrived yesterday and so far I am happy with the quality - we'll have to see how it holds up on construction sites (I'm doubting they'll withstand those rigors, but since I only needed two name cards and the minimum order is 24 badges, I have extras to replace them should anything happen).

This review is from Badge Holders - Landscape 2921:
I'm not sure why Avery keeps changing these badge holders. Now both sides of the pocket are the same height so you have to insert the paper name badge and then insert the clip. Or, in order to have a supply ready to go, I just inserted the clip into the one side so I can access the pocket to insert the paper badge. It isn't as clean or professional a look. A step down in my opinion - and very disappointing for what is supposed to be the industry leader.
This review is from Badge Holders - Landscape 2921:
Great product! I use this for all of our company meetings.

Comments about essie nail colour Polish, Bordeaux, .5 fl oz:
This is my all-time favorite red polish when I don't want any shimmer (when I want shimmer, I go to OPI's I'm Not Really a Waitress). It looks good on EVERYBODY. It's a beautiful true blue red (not orangy at all). Because it's this clear beautiful red, it looks great on both fair and tan skin. I have fair skin and I love to have red polish on my toes. A pedi with this polish lasts 3-4 weeks on me. This polish goes on smooth, doesn't chip and lasts and lasts. You'll love it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Among the most popular tracks from his extensive song catalog are "I Need Love," "I Can't Live Without My Radio," and the GRAMMY-winning "Mama Said Knock You Out" and "Hey Lover," just to name a few.

Miley Cyrus and fiancé Liam Hemsworth stepped out for dinner with friends Saturday night at Mercado di Vetro in Los Angeles.
Stationed in the private dining room, the couple dined with several of Hemsworth's visiting friends from Australia and Cyrus's friend, Cheyenne Kimball.
Although they were with a group, Hemsworth and Cyrus made their affection clear.
"They were very affectionate with each other all night," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "And they were also very sweet to the servers."
Hemsworth sipped red wine while the group enjoyed several different dishes, including the meatballs made with veal and beef.

Innovations in Global Health and the Global Governance System
Kenneth W. Abbott
Arizona State University
Civil Society Organizations and Global Health Governance, Wall Summer Institute, 2007
The growing role of civil society in global health governance reflects profound and well known changes in the overall system of global governance. In many respects, however, health governance is actually leading those changes. This paper uses the lens of Liberal international relations theory to explore innovations in global health governance that are not only interesting and significant in their own right, but are also of broader importance for global governance. These include (1) the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) as 'proponents' or advocates of policy and the advocacy partnerships formed by CSOs and public organizations; (2) the changing nature of inter-state regimes, such as the WHO/international health regime, due to the growing participation of domestic, non-state actors; (3) the strategies of organizations like the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria to engage with and empower domestic CSOs in dealings with their own governments; and (4) the emerging role of CSOs, private sector firms and other non-state actors as 'protagonists' or direct participants in international governance, independently or in collaboration with states and international organizations. The paper uses the Governance Triangle to map and analyze the forms and patterns of private and private-public governance arrangements.

NIAGARA FALLS – City narcotics detectives gave a Valentine's Day present Thursday to three neighborhoods that have weathered drug dealing.
Police said they raided three houses in succession after complaints about drug dealing and drug use at those addresses. They did not find drugs at one of the addresses, though that home was condemned.
Narcotics investigators, along with the department's Emergency Response Team, forcibly entered and served warrants between 1 and 5 p.m. at 519 Memorial Parkway, 2264 Falls St. and 1361 Ashland Ave.
"Sometimes you need to send a message," said Narcotics Detective Lt. Theodore Weed. "Just because they are running a small operation doesn't mean it's not going to be addressed. When people complain, we are going to address the problem."
Officers seized nearly an ounce of crack cocaine and a loaded .357 Magnum on Memorial Parkway, police said, and charged residents Frank M. Thomas, 32, and his wife, Pamela A. Litzsey-Thomas, 39, with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. Frank Thomas also was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Narcotics Detective Jay Reynolds said he and his partner, Detective Joseph Giaquinto, had been investigating the house since November and seized 22 grams of crack cocaine that the couple allegedly planned to sell out of the home.
On Falls Street, investigators said, officers found a small marijuana growing operation and seized two marijuana plants. Samantha L. Pelton, 23, was charged with violating public health laws for growing cannabis. The investigation was conducted by Detectives Thomas Rodriguez and Joseph Palermo.
In the third case, Weed said, police received complaints for months about the Ashland Avenue house. Although no drugs were seized, several people were charged with obstruction and loitering, and suspected stolen property was seized. City inspectors were called, and condemned the house.
"What the guy was doing was letting people set up in there. It had crazy traffic," Weed said. "The dealers would set up there and sell, and they were smoking crack cocaine."
Fabian Carter, 43, of 15th Street, and Donald Harper, 50, of 21st Street, were each charged with loitering. Carter also was found with suspected stolen items and additional charges may be filed, Rodriguez said.
Donald Lewis, 44, and Lysander Scott, 28, both of LaSalle Avenue, were charged with obstruction of governmental administration.
Rodriguez said the investigation into activities at the house, which started in August, continues.
City Building Inspector Patrick Ciccarelli called conditions at the house "very unsanitary." He said "sewage was backed up in the basement. There were serious electrical issues downstairs, and no smoke detectors, no carbon monoxide testers," he said. Ciccarelli said the house was temporarily condemned until the violations are fixed. He said, residents are allowed to go inside to remove property.

I don't know why he does it. I don't know whether there's some gene that disposes people to generosity. I have no idea whether giving is genetic or a learned behavior.
Yes, Russ Salvatore is in a better position than most of us to be philanthropic. But there are folks richer than the restaurateur who have tighter pockets.
Yes, the 79-year-old Salvatore grew up not having much, which might dispose him to give more. But many others who went from rags to riches do more hoarding than giving. So the man, in a sense, is a mystery.
Maybe when his time is up, scientists can examine his brain. They might get further if they examine his heart.
People will watch the Bills game on television Sunday at nursing homes, in bars and in countless living rooms because of Russ Salvatore. The upscale restaurant/hotel owner spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy enough tickets to lift the local TV blackout. He did the same thing two years ago, donating the tickets to military and youth groups. Last month, he bought 350 TVs for patients' rooms at ECMC.
These are just recent milestones in a history of generosity. A history that he has no special insight into or explanation for.
"People have been good to me," he said in our conversation Wednesday. "It feels good to be able to do this."
We met in his wood-paneled office inside Russell's Steaks, Chops and More on Transit Road. He sat schoolboy-straight in a black leather chair, Florida tan offset by snow-white hair, dapper in a custom-made suit and diamond-clustered pinky ring. He exuded an air of unforced authority, chatting with the just-folks ease of someone who has come far in the world without forgetting where he started.
I got the sense that he has received more from life than he anticipated, and is happy to share the proceeds.
He started working in his father's East Side saloon when he was 15, shining shoes and cleaning spittoons. He dropped out of Kensington High School – "I think they eventually gave me an honorary degree," he says, chuckling – taking over the bar/restaurant at 19. He soon replaced the paper cups with glass and the throwaway napkins with linen.
"Even then," said the man renowned for high-end glitz, "I couldn't help myself."
Economic liftoff came after he bought a hot dog stand and 8 acres on Transit Road in 1967. The local population of cows may have outnumbered people. "I wanted to be out by the airport," he said. "I thought good things were coming."
I'll say. The stake grew into the mini-empire of culinary kitsch called Salvatore's Italian Gardens. Known as much for its excess of statuary as the prime-cut steaks, the place – later sold to his son – became a destination. Despite success, the infusion of humility that comes with struggle never wore off. Salvatore mentioned friends, uncomfortable with the spotlight, who give more than he does for less attention.
"Sal [Alfiero] just donated $5 million to Children's Hospital," he said. "That's really something. … I just bought a bunch of tickets so people could see a football game."
It may not seem like much to him. But it means a lot to us.

MARTINSBURG - A Martinsburg man convicted of second-degree murder in June, who was later tried as a recidivist in October under West Virginia's "three strikes rule," was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole Monday during a sentencing hearing in Berkeley County Circuit Court.
James G. Cross Jr., 34, who is currently incarcerated at Eastern Regional Jail, and a co-defendant, Thomas Anthony Grantham, 36, also of Martinsburg, were found guilty of second-degree murder, attempted murder and malicious assault following a jury trial June 18 in connection with a fatal stabbing.
The April 23, 2011, incident on Rock Cliff Drive left Andre Jackson, 21, of Hedgesville, dead and Jacques Taylor, of Kearneysville, wounded.

Berkeley County Prosecuting Attorney Pamela Games-Neely filed a recidivist action against Cross in August following his murder conviction, alleging he had two prior felony convictions.
Under the state's recidivist statute, sometimes called the "three strikes rule," a person convicted of two felony offenses can see their sentence enhanced to a life sentence if they are convicted of a third or subsequent felony offense.
A jury deemed Cross to be a recidivist following a single-day trial on Oct. 23.
He was sentenced Monday by West Virginia 23rd Judicial Circuit Court Judge Christopher Wilkes to the maximum 40-year prison sentence for his conviction for second-degree murder, one to three years in prison for his attempted murder conviction and life in prison for his malicious assault conviction, which was the conviction the state chose to enhance through the recidivist proceedings.
Wilkes ordered that the sentences for attempted murder and malicious assault run concurrently. but consecutive to Cross' sentence for second-degree murder. Cross was also ordered to pay $8,322 in restitution.
"I think - given the circumstances of this case - it's the most appropriate sentence," Wilkes said.
Prior to sentencing, the court heard a victim impact statement from Jean McCray, Jackson's maternal grandmother, who told Wilkes that her entire family was torn apart by the murder of her grandson.
"We couldn't even believe that this had happened," McCray said.
McCray said she is a Christian "saved since 1981," but said she finds it very difficult to forgive Cross for killing her grandson, whose daughter just celebrated her second birthday in November and will never know her father.
"My desire is that this man gets all the time that he can get. I don't have sympathy for him. Right now, I don't forgive him, and I pray that he gets the longest sentence he can get," McCray said.
The court also heard from Prezioso, who said that his client was very remorseful for what occurred.
"Obviously, we went through a trial, a very emotional trial. He is remorseful and very apologetic. This affected him very, very deeply," Prezioso said.
Cross, who appeared in court shackled and wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, also read a statement to the court. He first apologized to his family and thanked them for sticking by him, and he later said he was sorry that Jackson died.
"To the Jackson family, I want them to know that I'm sorry for their loss," Cross said.
He stopped short of accepting responsibility and reasserted his claim he was acting in self-defense, stating he was "not a violent person," he was attempting to flee the altercation and that there was no intent for Jackson to die.
"By all intents and purposes, at no time was I the aggressor," Cross said.
Games-Neely described the attack that left Jackson dead and Taylor wounded as "brutal," and said that was no reason for the crime to have occurred.
Prior to handing down his sentence, Wilkes was unable to reconcile Cross' claim of self-defense with the evidence presented at his murder trial.
"I just can't wrap my mind around that. The evidence just doesn't show it," he said of Cross' version of events.
He said all the evidence at trial, including eyewitness testimony, indicated that the fatal altercation occurred when Cross and Grantham got out of their car and ran to the victims' car. He also said all of the physical evidence, including blood, was located in the victims' car and nothing was found in the car Cross was in.
"A long period of incarceration is necessary. That's why have a recidivist statute," Wilkes said.
Cross' co-defendant, Grantham, was sentenced in August to 40 years in prison for his conviction for second-degree murder, one to three years in prison for his conviction for attempted murder and two to 10 years in prison for his conviction for malicious assault.

Mark Reis/Colorado Springs Gazette
COLORADO SPRINGS (AP) � In a little more than a week, Doherty High School students transformed pounds of lumpy clay into physical reminders of genocide.
Eventually, the more than 2,000 bones made by students will be part of a massive nationwide project called One Million Bones intended to increase global awareness of the victims and survivors of genocide.
�People need to wake up,� said 16-year-old Hailey Buer, a Doherty junior. �It makes your heart break.�
She said the project has been interesting because the bones represent real people.
One Million Bones grew out of a 50,000-bone art installation in Albuquerque. The larger project is aimed at sharing the experience with people across the country.
Colorado students will contribute about 7,000 pieces. Bones will be displayed temporarily in state capitols before they are taken to Washington, D.C., for the main installation in the National Mall next summer.
�It�s a good project to help people see what�s going on,� said 17-year-old Ethan Silva, a Doherty senior.
Students learned the history of genocide, as well as what is happening around the world in countries including Sudan, Somalia, Burma and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Doherty�s nearly 2,000 students attended an assembly and watched videos of young people who have been victimized by genocide talking about their experiences.
Making bones is a small part of a very big idea, said 15-year-old Anna Pope, Doherty sophomore.
Art teachers Sarah Stevens and Cassidy Jones led the Doherty project after many art teachers around the state were asked to participate. Students started making the bones in October and wrapped up production in November.
They brought friends to participate and taught others how to make the bones. In all, more than 800 students pitched in. Some were enrolled in art classes, but most came from other classes and brought friends, Stevens said.
�It made it real to them,� said Doherty Assistant Principal Kim Southard. �In this hectic world we can get a little complacent.�
The bones project offered opportunities for interdisciplinary work, Southard said. For example, students in an English class worked on bones, then used the experience for writing assignments.
Stevens said the project shows students how art can be political or social, and used as a tool to promote change.
�It�s political, but not partisan,� Southard said.
Doherty students plan a somber ceremony in mid-November to set up all the bones made at the school before the bones are sent east for the larger display.
�When they lay it out, it symbolizes a mass grave,� Stevens said.
The project made a lasting impression on those involved, including adults. Students said they want to do more, and said it was inspirational to work on a project that could encourage people to take action to stop genocide around the world.

After a rough opening weekend at home, Stetson baseball hits the road for a mid-week tilt against intra-state rival FIU, 5 p.m., Wednesday, in Miami.
The Hatters (0-3) are looking to bounce back after being swept at Melching Field by SEC power Ole Miss over the weekend. FIU (4-0) opened the season by sweeping Rutgers in a four-game series in Miami last weekend.
Freshman right-hander Mitchell Jordan is expected to get the start on Wednesday after an impressive debut in relief on Friday. Jordan tossed 3.1 scoreless innings of relief against the Rebels, limiting Ole Miss to three hits while striking out five without a walk.
FIU is expected to counter with fellow freshman righty Chris Mourelle (0-0).
Junior RHP/1B/DH Josh Powers was one of the few Hatters who enjoyed a strong weekend against the Rebels. Powers was 4-for-5 with a double, RBI and two walks at the plate in his career offensive appearances on Friday and Saturday, and tossed five solid innings on Sunday in his season's first start.
Junior shortstop Tyler Bocock enjoyed the first three-hit game of his career on Sunday, collecting a pair of doubles and scoring a run as well.
Audio for Wednesday's game will be available at www.GoHatters.com. Fans can also follow the action via Stetson's live stats or the @StetsonBaseball Twitter feed.

The days of massive subdivisions popping up on the hillsides with several spec home models and triple-digit growth every year have not returned, but Greeley's housing market is quite robust, officials say.
The numbers bear it out — from appreciation of sales prices, to building permits, to builders' waiting lists.
"We're there," said Robbie Miner, a Sears Real Estate agent who represents Baessler Homes in Greeley. "The boom is already here."
Consider the following:
» So far this year, median housing prices in the Greeley/Evans area have continued to jump — 16.8 percent in July from the same time last year, after a 17.4 percent jump in June and a 18.9 percent jump in May. Overall from January, when median housing prices were at $160,000, the Greeley/Evans area saw a 7.7 percent increase to $172,263 at the end of July.
» Compared to more than 250 housing markets across the country, Weld County showed the third-highest growth in Colorado housing prices behind Denver and Boulder, according to numbers compiled by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Among those housing markets, Weld was No. 64 in sales price increases in the first half of the year.
» Chalice Springfield, CEO and managing partner at Sears Real Estate, said her company has seen rising closing numbers this summer, with July sales rising 33.5 percent to 926 from the same time last year, with similar increases in May and June.
"Those are very good," said Matt Revitte, a real estate agent with Pro Realty in Greeley, of the price increases. "From probably 2005-06 to 2009 (numbers), we have probably corrected 35-40 percent.
"In other words, we were in a depreciating market. At that time, the only difference between the Greeley housing market and the Titanic was that the Titanic had a band."
The ship has most definitely turned.
Inventories of resale homes continue to be at record lows, which is driving up demand for new homes. Adding to the new formula that seems to capture 2013, some builders also have been busy lately with multi-family projects to keep up with demand on the rental side as the area's vacancy rate stumbled close to zero. J&J and Journey Homes, as an example, started working on their first apartment complex this year, while continuing to sop up available land for single-family housing.
Building permits for single-family homes are starting to pick up. Through July, the city of Greeley reported 66 permits, more than double last year at the same time. But it still has a long way to go. Building permits for homes all but slowed to a trickle during the recession.
Greeley-based Baessler Homes, as an example, is building in several subdivisions throughout northern Colorado, and has a three-month waiting list to break ground, which Miner says is healthy and manageable. Its contracts so far this year mirror building permit numbers: 68 contracts from January to August, more than double than the 32 contracts written up in the same time last year.
"We'll close to $25 million in sales this year," Miner said of Baessler's sales.
Builders are still a bit wary, however, and a little more prohibited by circumstances to really hit the area with the gale force of many hammers and nails.
The lending market hasn't completely eased up on potential buyers and builders want to hold out until demand is steady. At the same time, when the housing market washed out with the recession, so too did the workers. They went elsewhere, many to the oil fields in the eastern plains where they make more money and enjoy steady hours.
"The builders are building and pretty happy about (the rise in demand), but they're a little tense about lot supply and labor and subcontractor supply, quite frankly," said Greg Miedema, executive officer for the Homebuilders Association of Northern Colorado. "New home-buying really hasn't come up. We just don't have that many builders going yet. If there were more new homes, we'd sell them. But I don't think builders are anxious to ratchet up until they're sure there is sustainable demand."
But there are more signs of life. Richmond American Homes recently purchased some lots, and other smaller but local builders are dipping their toes back into the waters. J&J and Journey have been building up, as well as St. Aubyn Homes and Park Place Homes.
"We're starting to see people move dirt, and we haven't seen that in six years, where they actually take platted lots and develop them, and create more lots," Miner said. "It's exciting to see some movement in the development arena."
It may be a while longer before the big guns, the national builders, really set sails back to the area, though Richmond has popped up in Promontory with a model home recently.
"Appreciation will allow the developers to develop projects again. That's when you'll see bigger nationals come in and do 100 lots at a time and build 20 foundations at once," Miner said.
As demand for housing continues to ramp up — especially with oil and gas companies hiring in the area — housing will follow.
"You bring Noble Energy in with 200 or more employees, and we'll really have inventory problem," Miner said. Noble announced new employees with impending expansion of its Greeley headquarters in recent months.
Builders' biggest competition is the resale market, but inventories continue at all-time lows. Sears CEO Springfield reported there were only 482 homes on the market at the end of July. A typical summer sales season would have 900 to 1,000 homes, she said.
"I would anticipate that the housing market and prices will continue to remain healthy," Springfield said. "We are still seeing high buyer demand for properties with multiple offers, and 'highest and best' conditions on many contract situations, which will also keep prices steady."
Appreciation already is helping the inventory problem. Builders and sellers are seeing demand push up sales prices.
"I listed one home for $145,000 in Hunters Reserve and I had it under contract in one day. I couldn't even get the sign in the yard," Miner said. "The next trend is who can provide the affordable project."

A gray fog rolled through Charleston on Christmas Day, a thick, wet blanket that cast a pall over the entire city.
Cold rain blowing in from the harbor kept most people indoors, save for those children who were able to "escape the parental roof" and sneak outside, roaming damp sidewalks to gaze at the festive decorations in misty shop windows.
It seemed, the Charleston Mercury reported, that "the elements had conspired to make the merriest day of all the year the most gloomy and forbidding."
The city had been quiet in the week following the secession vote. Other than the occasional unveiling of a new flag or banner, most of Charleston's attention had turned to the holidays. It appeared the remainder of 1860 would pass quietly.
To be sure, the ramifications of South Carolina's secession continued to spread across the country. Robert Barnwell Rhett and other delegates had departed for Washington, where they hoped to negotiate a peaceful transfer of federal property within the state's borders.
Across South Carolina, more federal employees resigned their commissions every day. Slowly, the state was cutting all ties to the Union.
The news in the Mercury reinforced local opinion that the state would not stand alone for long. Every day Charleston residents read reports that other states were planning their own secession conventions -- six in January alone. Florida would meet just after the New Year, while Mississippi and Alabama would meet concurrently on Jan. 7.
Texas, Georgia and Louisiana would follow by the month's end. North Carolina was still pondering its next move.
For the moment, however, South Carolina was in a state of limbo, its future as murky as Charleston's streets. The Mercury noted that this did nothing to quell the holiday spirit for most of the city's residents.
"Within doors there was the usual frolic and enjoyment, and the fact that they were no longer people of the United States did not diminish a whit of the zest with which people relished their turkeys and demolished their plum puddings and mince pies," the paper reported. "We venture to predict that next Christmas they will eat them with a still keener enjoyment."
It would be the last peaceful Christmas in Charleston for many years. Within two days, the entire city would be consumed by rumors of a coming war.
A more defensible fort
Maj. Robert Anderson felt a sense of unease.
The new commander at Fort Moultrie had been on the job little more than a month, and in that time everything had changed. He had monitored the events in Charleston closely and was disturbed by the animosity toward the United States -- and its military.
Still, he kept the fort's gates open to anyone who wanted to wander in, a symbolic gesture perhaps.
But in the days following the secession vote, rumors circulating on Sullivan's Island forced Anderson to reconsider. First, he heard that the state's militias had moved cannons to the north end of the island.
Others claimed that 2,000 riflemen had been dispatched to the houses and sand dunes surrounding Moultrie, their guns trained on the fort's parapet, ready to shoot at the first sign of action.
Even if Anderson dismissed those stories as fanciful conspiracies, he could not ignore the Mercury. The newspaper had begun to publish detailed diagrams of the harbor forts on its front pages -- this in a newspaper that seldom, if ever, used illustrations. What purpose could that serve, Anderson wondered?
Nothing good, he concluded.
Anderson, 56, was a Southerner to the core. A native of Kentucky, he had fought the Seminoles in Florida more than 20 years earlier. Before that, he had served with Abraham Lincoln in the Black Hawk Indian war of 1832.
Personally, Anderson had much in common with South Carolinians, save for the fact that his loyalty to the United States was unwavering. The military man thought this secession business was dangerous, the action of extremists. And he worried about what sort of extremism these secessionists might inspire next.
Whether the rumors were true, it was a reasonable assumption that Moultrie might be a target. The fort dated back to colonial times, had famously repelled the British in the early days of the American Revolution. Fort Moultrie was a symbol of the state and its independence.
The latest incarnation of the fort was more than 50 years old but still a potent force. Situated on the southern end of Sullivan's, it was in perfect position to defend the channel leading into Charleston Harbor.
But it was not built to defend itself from the very people it was supposed to protect.
The walls at Moultrie were notoriously low, and dunes had built up against some walls to the point that an occasional cow wandered onto the parapet. Even worse, Anderson was woefully undermanned. Designed to house 300 men, there were fewer than 100 U.S. soldiers stationed at the fort in December 1860.
As capable as Moultrie was, Anderson felt the more defensible position lay just across the channel.
Fort Sumter was an intimidating presence. Built on a man-made island, the walls of the five-sided giant towered 50 feet over the water, as if they had sprung from the sea.
Built to hold 650 soldiers and more than 130 guns, Sumter was solid and menacing. And it was surrounded by a natural moat -- Charleston Harbor. The only trouble was, it had not been finished.
Construction of the fort, named for Revolutionary War hero Thomas Sumter (the Carolina Gamecock), had begun in 1829. But more than 30 years later, it sat unoccupied. And, following the secession vote, that is exactly how South Carolina expected it to remain. State officials said they had assurances from the federal government that no troops would occupy Sumter.
Anderson later would say he knew nothing of any such agreement.
Late on the afternoon of Dec. 26, 1860, Anderson told Capt. Abner Doubleday, one of Moultrie's two battery commanders, to gather his men -- they were moving to Sumter. They had 20 minutes to prepare.
Anderson had finally had enough. The rumors, if they were just rumors, were distressing enough. If Moultrie was attacked, he knew it would be a slaughter. So despite the diplomatic implications, Anderson made the decision -- on his own, he later maintained -- to move his base of operations to Sumter.
Until the last possible moment, Anderson kept the decision largely to himself, telling only a few officers charged with getting the women and children out of the fort. He wanted to move fast and make sure that word of their plans would not leak.
Most of Anderson's troops snuck out after nightfall, making their way to boats hidden behind a pile of rocks on the shore. Five men stayed on the island to cover the boats in case Southern troops tried to stop them. But no one would see.
The men who remained behind did their best to sabotage Fort Moultrie. They spiked the cannons, driving plugs into the guns' touch holes to prevent them from being fired, then burned their wooden carriages. They left the fort a wreck.
Finally, Anderson's troops sawed down Moultrie's flagstaff, then made their escape.
It was the next morning before Charleston noticed anything was amiss.
The Riot Act
On Dec. 27, the city awoke to panic.
Confusing and contradictory rumors drifted across the peninsula as residents made their way to The Battery to see what was happening on Sullivan's Island. Others raced to the tops of buildings and a few even climbed the Holy City's church steeples. A couple of men had their own telescopes.
At first, there was little to see -- the smoke pouring from the ramparts of Fort Moultrie covered the horizon. Through the haze, however, someone spotted a small group of men at Fort Sumter, unloading supplies from a schooner. Slowly, the picture was coming into focus.
A reporter from the Mercury reached Moultrie by the early afternoon. State troops already controlled the fort and refused to allow him inside. From what he could see, the journalist later reported, it looked as if Moultrie had been ransacked.
Sullivan's Island seemed oddly quiet that day, but that may have been because South Carolina officials were plotting their retaliation elsewhere.
That afternoon, Col. J.J. Pettigrew gathered 150 men at The Citadel. He told these troops -- some from the Washington Light Infantry, others from the Meagher Guards or the Carolina Infantry -- only that he had a mission for them and that he was acting on orders of Gov. Francis Pickens.
Pettigrew marched the men to a wharf on the Cooper River, where they boarded the steamer Nina. Shortly after the ship cast off, it became clear to most of the troops that they were headed directly for Castle Pinckney.
The small fort on Shutes' Folly Island stood barely a mile from the Charleston peninsula. On that day, the 1810-era fort was occupied only by Lt. R.K. Meade and a couple dozen laborers -- not exactly a fighting force. As the Nina approached the Shutes' Folly dock, the troops could see a man on shore waiting to greet them.
He was "observed holding what appeared to be a paper in his hand," the Mercury later reported. "This was said to be the Riot Act."
The gate to Pinckney was locked. Pettigrew sent a few men to fetch storming ladders from the Nina and, when they returned, he ordered them to scale the fort's walls. Soon the gate was opened and 150 South Carolina soldiers rushed inside to find the surprised laborers.
Pettigrew found Meade and immediately began to read Gov. Pickens' order, but Meade stopped him.
He would not recognize the governor's authority to take control of the fort, Meade said, but he would not fight it either. Pettigrew allowed the man to gather his personal belongings and watched as Meade set out in a small boat for Sumter.
It was a rather peaceful takeover, but historians later would cite the taking of Castle Pinckney as the first overt act of war between South Carolina and the federal government.
But the Southerners thought that Anderson's retreat was the first act of aggression and that they were only reacting to it.
First steps
The Charleston newspapers refused to speak ill of Anderson or question his decision from a military point of view -- perhaps it was Southern courtesy.
But the newspapers claimed the symbolism of his action spoke volumes about the state's predicament and proved the secessionists' claims that the United States harbored hostile attitudes toward the South.
"The events of the past few weeks, and the developments they have occasioned, have served, in a remarkable degree, to clear up and remove all doubts concerning the designs and temper of the North towards the South," the paper opined.
In the final days of 1860, the Mercury reiterated the secessionists' arguments against the United States: the North meant to force higher taxes upon the South and end slavery.
If the North was so opposed to the peculiar institution, the paper argued, secession should have relieved its consciences of the "dreadful moral responsibility - simply by quitting the connection."
Instead, it appeared that the North was determined to hold its ground and impose its will, and its whims, on the South.
"The question not only of self-respect, but of self-preservation, is forced upon the people of the Southern states," Rhett wrote.
Soon after South Carolina took Castle Pinckney, volunteer troops set up outside the U.S. Arsenal at Ashley Avenue and Mill Street to make sure no ammunition or weapons were sent to Anderson and Fort Sumter.
There had been rumors that some of the ammo had been destroyed by the federal troops barricaded inside, but the Mercury reported that those stories were "wholly without foundation."
The standoff lasted only a few days. On Dec. 30, Col. John Cunningham of the 17th Infantry Regiment delivered a message from Gov. Pickens to arsenal personnel: The governor demanded that the federal troops surrender the arsenal.
F.C. Humphreys, an ordnance sergeant temporarily in charge of the arsenal, admitted to Cunningham that he didn't have the manpower to fight. But he would comply only under protest -- and only if he could salute the U.S. flag as it was lowered.
Cunningham not only allowed the salute, he gave Humphreys permission to fire 32 guns as the flag went down, one for every state that remained in the Union. For the moment.
As 1860 ended, South Carolina was a nation unto itself. In addition to Moultrie, Pinckney and the arsenal, state troops had taken control of the U.S. Post Office and the Customhouse.
Even The Daily Courier, Charleston's more even- handed newspaper, could not ignore the implications.
On the final day of 1860, the Courier reported, "The people of South Carolina have thus taken the first step in civil war."
U.S. troops spike the guns at Fort Moultrie on Dec. 26, 1860, before the evacuation of the fort. Maj. Robert Anderson, worried that South Carolina troops would attack the fort, moved to Fort Sumter, a more defensible position. State officials would consid×
