Special Press Release
- May 10, 2018
- Drug Safety
On May 2, the Chillicothe Police Department partnered with Gateway
Recovery and members of our community - Kati Johnson and Willy Deardorff
- to present a drug safety talk to the Lifepoint Church Aftershock Youth Group. The presentation detailed the consequences of drug use, our
goals as officers to combat the drug problem, and get the word to them before peer pressure gets to them. Kati and Willy told the youth their addiction
stories and their roads to recovery from their addictions. They provided advice on how to
avoid getting hooked on drugs and ways to assist in stopping issues before they begin. Gateway representative Maggie McCoy told the youth
about the recovery process and how strict it is but how well it helps.
The team did a great job. Our goal is to get into the lives of our youth and let them know the
pressures they will face and the life-long consequences they face from making one poor decision.
Our hopes are that we spread the word before they face peer pressure and go down the wrong
path. Chief Maples told the group, "I could just stand here and tell
you that we'll arrest you for using drugs but how would that help? We want you to see
it from our community members who have experienced it and are in
recovery." The Chillicothe Police Department takes pride in keeping our community safe and clean which is why we take proactive and preventative measures.

CPD to
Receive Advanced 911 System That Allows Text, Photos,
By BRITTANY TUTT
April 1, 2016
The Chillicothe City Council approved the
city's 2016-17 budget on Monday night. The new fiscal year begins
today, Friday, April 1. Included in the budget's expenses was a new 911 system for the Chillicothe Police
Department, projected to cost $45,360. According to the Chillicothe Police
Department's Office Manager, Cindy Hanavan, the police department has
not made a final decision on which 911 system to purchase yet but the
search has been narrowed down to two options. Hanavan said the options are night and day differences, but the
department is leaning toward the less costly of the two.
According to Hanavan, the equipment the department currently has is about eight to ten years old and was given to them
used by the Livingston County Sheriff's Office. Hanavan said the age of the equipment is a concern for the department
because computers and systems that are on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year wear out quickly.
If the system does quit, calls will roll over to the Trenton Police Department as back up.
The system the CPD currently has shows land line phone numbers and pulls the location of the caller up on a map; however,
the system only sometimes shows a cell phone number and location. The current system also allows deaf persons to type to
the police, but doesn't allow text messages. A new system that will be able to show both number and location for land lines
and cell phones, and will allow one to text, send video and photos to 911 would be very useful for the police,
according to Hanavan. She said a system allowing one to text and send video and photos would greatly benefit
the department and victims. For example, if one had an intruder in his
home and he was hiding, he could quietly text the police department instead of risking a call. Videos and photos would
allow citizens the ability to take photos or video of a crime being committed and send it to the police department as
evidence. "We will do our best to choose the right program to benefit both the
department and the citizens of Chillicothe."

Local Children Receive Christmas Gifts Through Shop With a Cop

Thirteen police officers, including detective Jon Maples (pictured above),
assisted the children in their shopping adventure on Saturday,
December 19, 2015.
The Chillicothe Kiwanis Club hosted its annual Shop with a Cop event on Saturday at Wal-Mart. Through a fundraiser hosted by the Chillicothe Elks Lodge and grants from Wal-Mart, the Kiwanis Club was able to take 51 underprivileged children Christmas shopping. The number of children involved in the event almost doubled from last
year's total of 26. The Shop with a Cop event was created about 15 years ago to help local, underprivileged children and their families have a good Christmas, according to Kiwanis member, Alice Swartz. Shop with a Cop allows children to buy gifts for themselves (and their family) that they would otherwise not be able to afford. Because children are able to purchase these gifts, they can wake up excited Christmas morning. The children involved with Shop with a Cop were from Livingston County, the majority being from Dewey Elementary, Field Elementary and Central Elementary schools. These children are selected by school staff, and are students who would benefit from this event the most. Every year, Kiwanis informs the schools on how many students they can help and school staff picks the students and makes phone calls to parents. At the event there were 13 officers from the Chillicothe Police Department and their families, 15 Kiwanis members and their families and eight Wal-Mart employees who assisted the children in their shopping adventure around Wal-Mart. Officers, Kiwanis members and Wal-Mart employees helped children shop for the items on the their Christmas list that was prepared prior to the event, and made sure children
didn't over or under spend, as each child is given a certain amount to spend. After the gifts were purchased, they were wrapped. The gift wrapping supplies were provided by Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart employees wrapped the gifts. Wal-Mart also made sure Santa made an appearance at the event and supplied refreshments. The Shop with a Cop event can be humbling to witness, as these children who
don't generally have a lot, shop for not only themselves but their families, too.
"The children buy for everyone in their family," Swartz said.
"A lot of children will not even buy for themselves, because they want everyone in their family to have something
to open Christmas morning. But, we try to get them to buy something for themselves
too," Swartz said. Though Kiwanis is the organizer of the event, Swartz said they
wouldn't be able to do it without everyone who was involved.
On December 3, 2015,
the City of Chillicothe held an awards luncheon for the City of Chillicothe Employees.
Detective Jon Maples was recognized as a City of Chillicothe Employee of the Year Nominee.
Detective Maples received the second place award for Employee of the Year representing the Chillicothe Police Department.
Employees of the Chillicothe Police Department were recognized and awards presented for years of service.
Sergeant Curtis Hays was recognized for 5 years of service, and Officer Lena Turpin and Communications Dispatcher Wanda Urton
were both recognized for 10 years of service. We would like to commend these individuals for their service.
City of Chillicothe Battle of the Badges
August 10, 2015
By BRITTANY TUTT,
C-T Reporter
If one were to drive by Danner Park
Friday night, August 7, 2015, he or she might have thought a major emergency situation was occurring with all the emergency vehicles filling the
park's parking lot. However, Friday night was the first annual Battle of the Badges fundraiser event where the Chillicothe Police Department played against the Chillicothe Fire Department in a slow pitch softball tournament to raise money for the Grand River Area Family YMCA Backpack Buddies program. Backpack Buddies is a program that, in partnership with Second Harvest Community Food Bank and Grand River Vocational Technical School, provides easy-to-serve breakfasts, lunches and snacks to more than 100 needy children each weekend during the school year, including extended breaks. These meals are sent home with children on Friday afternoons after school in backpacks.
The Battle of the Badges fundraiser raised over $1,300 for the program Friday
night according to Chillicothe Police Department Detective, Johnny Maples. The $1,300 raised was from free-will donations provided by the supporters that packed the bleachers and the nearly 30 players that battled it out on the field Friday night.
"This event was a good way for departments to come together and raise money for a program that needed it, and it was another way to show the community that we
care," Det. Maples said. Both Fire Chief Darrell Wright and Police Chief Rick Knouse thought the event went over very well with the public. Chief Knouse said he was overwhelmed by how many people came out to support the departments and the Backpack Buddies on Friday. On the field there was a lot of high-fiving and encouragement from one department to another.
"Friendly competition" would be the perfect way to describe the game. Ultimately, the fire department won the game by 9 runs with the final score being 30-21;
however, both teams were winners as they were able to provide hundreds of children with food.

Police Gather Input About Troubled Traffic Areas After Facebook Posting
By Brittany Tutt
June 19, 2015
CAPTION: The Chillicothe Police Department as been making efforts to get feedback from the public on areas in Chillicothe that people feel are dangerous and need to be patrolled more frequently. Pictured above is Chillicothe Police Department Detective Johnny Maples patrolling the intersection of Dickinson and Third Street where many children play outside and ride their bikes.

The Chillicothe Police Department is using social media to help improve traffic safety by asking the public to identify areas where
they'd like to see greater enforcement. The department posted on their Facebook page the morning of June 9 requesting feedback from the public in reference to traffic complaints and violations in high traffic areas. The post read:
"If you notice specific locations near you or your neighborhood where you would like traffic enforcement conducted in efforts to make the streets of Chillicothe safer please post here, message us or contact the police
department...". The post received more than 30 comments from concerned citizens, and according to Chillicothe Police Detective, Johnny Maples, the police department also received several calls as a result of the post. Maples said the police department decided to post this on its Facebook page in order to give the public the opportunity to voice their opinions and extend to people the opportunity to give their input on the topic. Maples said public input is important because it helps officers better protect the city by enforcing the law in areas in which citizens feel are most dangerous.
"Our main job is to keep the streets of Chillicothe safe, and the best way to do that is through public
feedback," Maples said. Upon reviewing the comments received, the police department determined that the
top five most complained about areas in Chillicothe were: Third Street from Washington to Grandview, Dickinson Avenue from Bryan to Third, Hickory Street from Third to Cowgill, Fair Street from Bryan to Dorney Drive and Chillicothe park areas. Maples said the police department already knew a few of these areas to be dangerous, high traffic areas, and tended to catch motorists speeding in said areas. However, he said comments from the public opened up their eyes to how dangerous other areas were getting. Maples said the police department is not staffed in a way that allows them to put an officer at every school during pick up and drop off time to control traffic. However, he said officers do try to patrol school zone areas and usually catch several people speeding or not obeying traffic signs. He said the police department patrols Polk Street heavily during school hours because Polk runs by the middle school, Dewey and Field Elementary School. Maples said that
road's speed limit drops down to 20 mph when school is in session, and officers ticket a lot of people not obeying that rule. Maples also said that since the police department has received comments from the public, stops in the areas complained about have increased
significantly. Most of the stops have been due to speeding and stop sign violations. This is the first time the police department has asked for the
public's input; however, Maples said it was a success, and the department plans on doing it more often. Maples said
the police department is trying to become more, "public
friendly," and this was a good step in achieving that.

On 09-30-2013, the 2013 Highway Safety traffic grant period ended for the State of Missouri. From the date of 10-01-2012 until
10/03/13, the Chillicothe Police Department was allocated $3,000 to spend on traffic related overtime with an emphasis on DWI enforcement using funds received from this grant.
As a department, we utilized $2,723, or
91% of the funds that were available to us. 100% of those funds were dispersed as payroll in the form of overtime wages, which converted into approximately 187 man hours on the streets that resulted in the issuance of 212 traffic citations and multiple arrests.
In addition to the DWI grant above, our agency participated in 10 different state wide traffic mobilizations. These mobilizations included
"Click it or Ticket" and "Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over" traffic safety campaigns. During said functions, we received $2,800 in grant money ear marked for traffic related overtime. We utilized $2,145.67, or 77% of the funds available to us. These funds attributed to approximately 100.3 man hours dedicated to specifically patrolling the streets for the purpose of traffic enforcement that resulted in 1037 traffic stops and approximately 399 traffic citations and multiple arrests.
In short, from the timeframe extending from 10-01-2012 to 09-30-2013; the Chillicothe Police Department utilized $4,868.67 in grant funding that required a 0% match by the City of Chillicothe. 100% of those funds were dispersed as payroll for the enforcement of traffic safety
allowing us to provide approximately 287.3 man hours of additional coverage with the issuance of approximately 586 citations at virtually no cost to our citizens.
For the 2014 fiscal year, the Chillicothe Police Department will have $5,000 dollars allocated to us for traffic safety with an emphasis on Occupant Protection and Hazardous Driving. We have planned enforcement operations over the future period and will continue to use these funds in a productive manner to promote safety for the citizens of Chillicothe.

Special News Release
The Chillicothe Police Department received grant funding for traffic enforcement to be conducted on the
streets and highways of Chillicothe Missouri. The grant money was received through a joint effort with the Missouri Department of Transportation and the Missouri Department of Public safety.
The goal of this money was to be used for officers to conduct extra traffic enforcement in areas of Chillicothe where we primarily have the most traffic accidents. The goal was to promote safer driving and reduce the number of accidents where bad driving habits are a key factor in the crashes. These efforts by the Chillicothe Police Department were intended to make it safer for motorist and pedestrians in Chillicothe. The majority of traffic crashes that occur in Chillicothe are during Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm.

Grant Funding Received for Chillicothe Police/ Livingston County Sheriffs / Chillicothe Fire
The Chillicothe Police Department recently authored a grant to the State of Missouri, MOSCAP (Missouri Statewide Communication Assistance Program) to ask for financial assistance for gaining access to the Missouri Statewide Interoperability Network. The Grant was written to benefit all of the emergency responder entities for Livingston County.
The grant was written by Capt Tony Kirkendoll with input from the Chillicothe Emergency Services Director Darrell Wright and Chief Deputy Michael Claypole for the Livingston County Sheriffs Department.
Capt Kirkendoll was recently notified that the grant application has received $12,600.00 to allow for 14 radios to be upgraded to operate on the
state-wide communications network.
This is an excellent foundation for the future plans for the Livingston County Radio Communications network. These funds will allow the Livingston County Sheriffs Office and a portion of the Chillicothe Emergency Services to be able to begin communicating on the State wide Communication digital radio network when the upgrades are installed. These upgrades will have an immediate and needed impact and greatly increase radio communications between emergency personnel and Chillicothe 911 dispatch.
These funds are a zero match requirement and will cost the citizens of Livingston County nothing.
The capability to communicate across jurisdictional and discipline lines (interoperability of communications) is one of the top priorities of
Missouri's homeland security program. Ensuring that neighboring jurisdictions and multiple disciplines can communicate with each other leads to better emergency and disaster response and ultimately makes for safer communities.
Missouri has built a statewide public safety interoperable communications system, known as the Missouri Statewide Interoperability Network (MOSWIN). MOSWIN is a network of communications towers, base stations and communications software. The project is providing the infrastructure that will provide interoperable communications throughout the state to both state public safety agencies and any local jurisdictions that wish to use the system for their interoperable communications. The system meets a Federal Communications Commission mandate that all public safety agencies in the U.S. operate only in a
"narrowband" mode after Jan. 1, 2013.
The Statewide Interoperability Network serves two primary functions:
Providing internal communications capabilities for state agencies, including the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Department of Natural Resources and State Emergency Management Agency.
Providing a statewide interoperability platform and access for local agencies to achieve interoperable communications with local, state, regional and federal agencies.
Keeping up with
today's technology is important and crucial for public safety officers. We feel that by utilizing grant funding when it becomes available, we can update our communications network and keep the out of pocket cost to a minimum for the citizens of Livingston County.

On 05/31/13, at approximately 19:22 hrs, Chillicothe Police
officers were dispatched to a hold-up alarm at Advance America Cash Advance located at 518 S Washington Street in Chillicothe Missouri.
officer's arrival at the location, it was reported that a
6'5" 250 lb Hispanic male had entered the business and forced the female employee into the back room and then stole approximately $5000.00 in cash and approximately $1200.00 in gold jewelry. The suspect had reportedly fled out the front of the store on foot.
Chillicothe Police
officers conducted the investigation into the reported robbery and have concluded the investigation on 06/04/2013 by arresting store employee, Athena Rose Chandler, for her involvement in the fabrication of the robbery to steal the money from the business.
The investigation revealed the robbery was a planned hoax for the money and jewelry to be stolen from the store while she was working. Then as a cover up, a past boyfriend of Ms.
Chandler's came into the store and acted out the robbery so that it could be seen on the video surveillance camera.
A portion of the money and jewelry have been recovered; and the other person involved is being sought at this time.
Investigating Counterfeit Money in Chillicothe
March 27 2012
The Chillicothe Police Department is currently investigating possible monetary counterfeiting at several businesses in the Chillicothe community. Officers with the Chillicothe Police Department were dispatched to a business in the 200 block of North Washington
Street in reference to a counterfeit bill on Monday. Further investigation by the C-T into the matter revealed the business to be
Seventh Heaven Gas Station and Convenience Store, and the reason for the visit to be a video surveillance tape viewing. According to
Chillicothe police, the incident remains under investigation.
Officers have recently taken multiple reports of counterfeit bills being passed at local businesses in the community. The other known
business that has been targeted by counterfeiters is the Casey's Gas and Convenience Store on Elm Street. The suspect bills have
been of both large and small denominations, the CPD reports.
Cashiers and store owners are advised to be on the lookout for bills that appear or feel fake in nature. Anyone with information on the
matter is urged to contact the Chillicothe Police Department at 660-646-2121.

Hold New Siren Training

Dave Cates (middle, pointing to computer screen), a service
manager with Blue Valley Public Safety, met with persons at the
Chillicothe Police Department and (above) the Chillicothe Fire
Department on Tuesday discussing the city's new storm siren
warning system and answering questions. The city has 11 sirens.
The system can warn citizens, as well as play the national
anthem. It also shows when sirens may be defective, or offline,
and in need of repair.
Two informative personnel meetings regarding Chillicothe's new storm siren
system took place at the Chillicothe Police Department and Chillicothe
Fire Department buildings before noon on Tuesday. The training sessions brought together multiple officers,
firefighters, and EMS workers in the Chillicothe area. Blue Valley Public Safety
service manager Dave Cates spoke with both of the departments, guided
them through the systems, and answered questions along the way.
city now has 11 warning sirens at the following locations: 500
West Mohawk (Green Hills Golf Course), Simpson Park (near the
Aquatics Center), 1862 Litton Road (Danner Park), Belair Drive
(in the Christensen Addition), at the intersection of Grandview
and Webster, atop Chillicothe City Hall, near the intersection
of Missouri and Bridge, at the intersection of Mack and Linn
(Shaffer Park), Graves Street (Walmart), at the intersection of
Industrial and McCormick, and at the intersection of
Willow Avenue and Birch Drive (Lowes Acres). The sirens they replaced were from the 1950s and 1960s.
At the training sessions, Cates pointed out the features of the new
system, including the playing of the national anthem at the three
major ballparks in town, the duration of the system's vocal warnings (only set
for one round of repetition), and the siren sounds and durations. Sirens
with the BVPS system are set on a three-minute loop. After three minutes,
the system must be reactivated again, if a siren longer than that
timeframe is needed or wanted. The sirens may be engaged via key-box or
computer monitor.
Starting the sirens is a three-step process. Persons at the station must
first turn a key to the "on" position, then select the
corresponding siren button they wish to use (options include: all sirens - tornado,
monthly testing, and growl test; electronic park sirens - severe weather,
lightning, thunderstorm approaching, thunderstorm warning, National
Anthem Simpson Park, National Anthem Danner Park, and National Anthem
Shaffer Park; and electronic sirens - tornado watch, tornado warning,
HazMat Simpson Park, HazMat Danner Park, HazMat Shaffer Park, HazMat
Walmart, and HazMat Industrial Park). He or she must then also press a
"send" button, to avoid accidental siren alerts.
Computer monitors within the stations track the condition of the 11 siren
entities. Each siren is marked within the computer on a map of the city
of Chillicothe, with a green dot on their specific location. When the dot
turns red, it means that there is a problem with the siren. When the dot
turns pink, the siren is not connected to the system. The computers keep
logs of each of these changes and alerts, and must always be connected to
the siren system, even if it is minimized on the screen, Cates said.
Operation Nets Traffic 25 Stops
March 19, 2012 CT
The Chillicothe Police Department conducted a series of traffic
enforcement saturations on Saturday as a part of a statewide drunk
driving crackdown. Officers made 25 traffic stops, issued 15 citations, and issued 27
written warnings for various traffic violations, according to Sgt. Scott
Chubick. Officers also conducted license checkpoints at various locations.
Fifteen contacts were made during that time, and 2 felony arrests were
made. Those arrests led to the seizure of one pound of marijuana.
Law enforcement agencies throughout Missouri participated in this
statewide effort to get drunk drivers off the road and make Missouri
roads safer. The sobering fact is that impaired driving contributes to nearly 30
percent of all Missouri traffic fatalities. In 2011, 220 people were
killed and 916 seriously injured in crashes involving an impaired driver. Visit the website:

Parents Unite Against Substance Abuse
The Chillicothe Police Department is partnering with
TestMyTeen.com, an
organization that has donated more than $5,000 worth of free home drug
test kit vouchers to be shared anonymously with parents who need them. Unfortunately,
"friends" often try harder to make kids who say "no" to
drugs, alcohol and tobacco feel like outcasts, according to Police Capt.
Tony Kirkendoll. Home testing kits have emerged that protect privacy and
provide kids with a socially acceptable excuse: "My parents test
"For years, police have been the first to know when local kids used
drugs, while their parents were often the last to know. We found a
way to work together, and we can turn that around," Kirkendoll said. Employers use testing to rid the workplace of substance abuse.
Schools, police, community leaders and parents can now work together to ensure
safer schools and homes. Youth can use it to prove their trustworthiness
to their parents, and to dissolve unwanted pressure from peers.
Private and confidential vouchers for free test kits are available at the
Chillicothe Police Department, 613 Walnut Street. The voucher has
instructions and an access code for the parents. The parent will then
enter a web site from their home computer and order the free test kit,
which will be discretely shipped to their address. Answers to frequently
asked questions about home-based substance abuse testing are available at
Peer pressure to try drugs, alcohol, or tobacco
doesn't end when kids say, "no," Kirkendoll said. In fact, pressure can often increase
when "friends" try harder to make youths feel like outcasts when they
don't go along with the crowd.
Parents can access helpful information and get testing kits for detecting
drugs at no charge (limit one per family, only shipping fees apply) using
electronic vouchers provided by TestMyTeen.com, and by picking up a
voucher at the Chillicothe Police Department.
On-going random testing continues to provide youth with the excuse they
need and parents with the peace of mind they deserve.

- Cracking Down on Impaired Drivers August 19 to September 5,
The sobering fact is that impaired driving contributes to 30 percent of all Missouri traffic fatalities. In 2010, 234 people were killed and 957 seriously injured in crashes involving an impaired driver.
That's why the Chillicothe Police Department will join other Missouri law enforcement agencies to crack down on drunk driving August 19th through September 5th, 2011.
The Chillicothe Police Department will participate in statewide sobriety checkpoints and DWI saturation patrols enforcing
Missouri's DWI laws and keeping impaired drivers off the road.
Consequences of drunk driving include jail time, loss of their driver licenses, or being sentenced to use ignition interlocks. Insurance rates go up. Other financial hits include attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of job or job prospects. When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators can also face tremendous personal embarrassment and humiliation.
"Driving drunk is simply not worth all the
consequences," stated Chief Rick Knouse. "Our message is simple and unwavering: You Drink and Drive. You

It is illegal for someone under 21 to possess or consume alcohol in Missouri, yet youth make up a significant portion of drunk drivers causing traffic crashes on Missouri roadways. Missouri has a Zero Tolerance Law. If you are under 21, your license will be suspended if
you're caught driving with even a trace of alcohol in your system.

Chillicothe Police Department is selling 2011 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special
Olympics, short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirts. According to Special Olympics Missouri (2009),
"The vision of the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) was brought to life by Col. Ralph Biele of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. He and the Missouri Police
Chief's Association decided to rally all law enforcement to hold a fundraiser for Special Olympics - and the rest is sort of history. What began in 1968 as a 30-mile run is now a four-day relay covering more than 950 miles with 1,000 runners. It originates in more than 42 locations and culminates in Springfield, the site of the State Summer Games. But,
it's more than a run; the Torch Run is a campaign to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics. The mission of the LETR is to raise both dollars and awareness for Special Olympics. Nearly 200 agencies and 2,500 officers work year-round in Missouri to accomplish this goal; they are some of our greatest volunteers. Col. Biele once said,
'A lot of people get involved with Special Olympics because they feel they need to give something back. I have found that I have gained and learned more from these Special Olympics athletes than I could ever give or teach
them.' In 1986, the LETR raised $15,000 and in 2009 they raised $1,547,877 ranking them No. 7 in the world for funds raised. All funds raised go toward supporting Special Olympics Missouri's year-round sports training and athletic competition program for more than 15,000 athletes across the
state." All proceeds collected by the Chillicothe Police Department will go toward this campaign. Short sleeve shirts cost $10 and long sleeve shirts cost $15. To purchase a 2011 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics shirt, contact Lieutenant Matt Rodriguez at the Chillicothe Police Department at 660-646-2121.

A former Northumberland barrister convicted of assault and fraud has been disbarred from the profession following a hearing.
An independent public disciplinary tribunal has ordered the disbarment of Ms Frances Brough, of Shilbottle, who had previous criminal convictions for fraud; a string of assault-related offences, including assaulting two police officers; and using threatening words and behaviour.
The five-person panel heard how Ms Brough had been convicted of a number of serious criminal offences between August and October 2013.
Ms Brough was, on November 22, 2013, sentenced by Newcastle Crown Court to a Community Order for three years and required to be supervised by the probation service for 18 months.
Later that year, on December 3, Ms Brough was convicted of fraud and was sentenced in April 2, 2014, to 15 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
The former practising solicitor was called to bar in 2005, but never practised as she had not completed pupillage – the final stage of a barrister's training.
However, commenting on the sentence, the barristers' regulator, the Bar Standards Board (BSB), which prosecuted Ms Brough at the disciplinary tribunal, said she could no longer remain a member of the profession.
Director of professional conduct for the BSB, Sara Jagger, said: "While Ms Brough did not practise as a barrister, it is clearly not appropriate that she remain a member of the Bar. The panel's decision to disbar her is absolutely the right one."
The BSB's rules dictate that all individuals who are called to the Bar must act in accordance with the BSB Handbook and barristers' Code of Conduct.
The tribunal heard that, contrary to the Code of Conduct, Ms Brough had also failed to promptly report these convictions to the BSB.
She was also found to have engaged in conduct discreditable to a barrister by failing to pay a fine of £350, imposed on her by a previous tribunal on April 30, 2013.
Ms Brough was also struck off by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) in January.
The solicitor defrauded the Law Society out of more than £22,000 in a string of fraudulent claims for rail travel, accommodation and care allowance costs.

KERSHAW – Great Falls used a blazing start to fuel a 60-48 win over Conference III-A foe North Central to claim the boys title in the Comporium Christmas Classic on Friday night at Andrew Jackson High School.
HEATH SPRINGS - The Lancaster County Council on Aging will continue its services at the Heath Springs Senior Center after all.
The board of the Catawba Area Agency on Aging, the purse holder of federal and state funds for the Lancaster County Council on Aging, requested Dec. 18 that the local council continue its services at the Heath Springs Senior Center.
The next day, the agency received confirmation that the board of the local council had agreed to the request, said Catawba Area Agency on Aging Director Barbara Robinson.
Each year, The Lancaster News staff tries to take the events of the past 12 months, catalog them and determine what we, as a newspaper, consider the most important.
The news staff has selected, in our view, the top 10 stories of 2007, along with 10 other significant stories we covered this year.
In some cases, these news events have impacted or will impact a large number of county citizens; others were chosen because they attracted the public's attention and held it. Still other stories changed our way of life forever.
Here's our list:
Lancaster police are still looking to make an arrest in a Dec. 21 incident in which a Lancaster man was shot in the stomach.
Police responded to a call to a shooting around 9 p.m and found the man on the ground behind an abandoned home on Hazel Street.
A witness told police that he heard shots fired and saw a man running and screaming that he had been shot, according to an incident report.
Other witnesses said they heard about 10 shots and saw both the victim and another man shooting at each other, the report said.
The 52nd annual meeting of the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 10 will feature keynote speaker Crandall Bowles, former chief executive officer of Springs Global, U.S.
The event will be held at the Fairway Room at the Lancaster Golf Club. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a reception preceding the dinner meeting.
Bowles now serves as chairwoman of Springs Industries Inc. and Springs Window Fashions. She retired from Springs Global earlier this year.
The songs belted out by the Salem AME Zion youth choir complemented the occasion well.
As they sang "Get Ready for Your Miracles" and "God's Got a Blessing with Your Name On It," four teenagers waited to receive certificates while reflecting on the strides they made over the last several months.
Eastside Academy, Lancaster County School District's alternative school, held its transition/graduation ceremony Dec. 17 at the multipurpose room of the Barr Street campus.
With the generosity of individuals and local groups, the Ward Faulkenberry Memorial Christmas Basket Fund brought in nearly $10,000 during this year's drive.
This annual fund, which just finished its 48th running, takes donations to give local families assistance with food during the holiday season.
Recipients are given $25 food vouches that can be used at local grocery stores. As of Thursday afternoon, this year's grand total was $9,254.
Most food historians agree that hoppin' John has its roots in Lowcountry South Carolina cuisine. But just how did this rich-tasting, luck-bringing, poor-man's New Year's dish get it's name?
Made of peas, rice, pork and simple spices, hoppin' John is closely related to African and West Indian dishes with similar ingredients and was introduced to America by African slaves who toiled on rice plantations.
KERSHAW - The Lancaster Lady Bruins made it two straight, capturing the girls' title in the Comporium Christmas Classic at Andrew Jackson High School on Friday night.
The Lady Bruins, 6-2, rolled to a 58-41win over the host Andrew Jackson Lady Volunteers.
The LHS girls' 17-point win gave them a sweep of the AJ girls this season.
Lancaster defeated the AJ girls, 55-14 and 52-35 in a pair of regular-season games.
A year ago, Lancaster captured the girls' title with a 61-46 victory over Class A foe North Central High School.
What are the two images on the SC flag and what do they represent? Which war do they reflect?
The winner is:Debbie Anderson- she was the first to get it right!
Others who got it correct are:
Corey Hall - United States Marine
Terry Bowers
Brian Hammond - Science teacher from A. R. Rucker *Go RAMS!*

Due to their design too much additional weight could cause them to collapse.
Folks are welcome to visit, and often there are bus loads of people coming and going here. Admission is free!

What makes a good yoga mat?
The most important qualities in my opinion are: Cushion (enough to protect joints but not too much that it throws off balance), weight (easy to carry to class), and durability. The $15 mats may see breakdown after a few weeks, so consider this when purchasing.
The question isn't necessarily what makes a good yoga mat, but what qualities in a yoga mat make you feel good in a practice designed to make you feel good. A good yoga mat is relative to the individual. If you want to invest in a high-quality yoga mat, I've outlined the most important features below.
The 8 Most Important Features
- Durability and longevity — A yoga mat's ability to withstand even the toughest of practices over time.
- Comfort and support — Just enough cushioning for your joints can reduce squirming in kneeling postures and provide padding for impact, but not so much that it compromises support.
- Stability — A firm, dense mat can help you feel stable throughout standing and balancing poses.
- Portability — Consider how much travel you will be doing with your mat. A mat's weight and size will dictate whether or not it is toteable. Since most people walk, bike, and travel to class, an easy-to-carry mat is an important feature.
- Traction and stickiness — It's important for a mat to provide traction both to keep you from slipping and in staying connected to the ground. The last thing you want is for your mat to function as a Slip N' Slide.
- Texture — Mats have different surfaces, but most yogis agree that it's best to have a mat that feels most natural.
- Environmental consideration — Buying an eco-friendly yoga mat is important to many practitioners. If this holds true to you, consider purchasing a mat made from all-natural materials.
- Size — Your yoga mat should cover the length and width of your entire body. Not every yoga mat comes in various widths and sizes, so make sure to check measurements before purchasing.
Bonus Features to Look For
These don't make a yoga mat "good" per se, but they add a nice touch, depending on your own interests and beliefs.
- Giving back: Many brands are part of a greater cause, participate in recycling programs, or give back for every mat that's sold. Consumers often like to both feel good and do good!
- Color selection: Not every brand provides an assortment of colors, patterns, and sizes, although most provide neutral colors. It's nice to have options.
- Smell: This seems like a weird one, but depending on the material used, mats can have an undeniably strong scent. It's not out of the realm for shock to set in after taking a nice big inhale through your nose in child pose. Although, most of the manufactured smell disappears over time.
Final Thoughts
Best All-Around Yoga Mat
Manduka PROliteThe best yoga mat that will support your asanas and be your new place to call OM for a lifetime.
Like your practice, your yoga mat should be one that you invest in, one that you keep coming back to, and one that supports you through every inhale and exhale. It should feel like a little island you want to call home for every practice.
The Manduka PROlite allows me to take my practice in a variety of settings and teach to a number of yoga styles, while ensuring a long-lasting relationship with my mat. Another favorite among yoga professionals, the Jade Harmony Professional Mat is a heavy duty mat made of 100 percent rubber.
If things get extremely hot and sweaty, I suggest turning to Liforme Yoga Mat to ensure you don't slip and slide around.
Don't be afraid to test a few mats on your own and ask around before making a purchase.
When a yoga mat feels just right for you, it can make all the difference in your practice.

We welcome you to one of Sweden's hottest food destinations!
5 places to taste
- Helsingborg has one of the highest "bistro counts" in Sweden and is also home to a plethora of famous restaurants. Many of these are highly placed in White Guide, the country's top publication for restaurant recommendations. Sofiero Slottsrestaurang, Fridas, Gastro and La Petite are just some of our entries. We can also brag about Koppi, owned by Swedish barista champion Anne Lunell, and Chocolatte, which has two world championship pralines. A couple of micro-breweries, Helsingborgs Bryggeri and Brewski, have put the city on the beer map. Clearly enough, Helsingborg is full of fine taste experiences! Find your favourite restaurant here.
- Growers and farm shops lie side by side in Kullabygden. Lamb at Kullalamm, asparagus at Kullasparris, tomatoes at Vikentomater and beer at Höganäs Bryggeri. The Höganäs Saluhall indoor market brings many of the region's goodies together. Buy some to take home with you. Or enjoy them at lunch in the market's dining hall. What do Grand Hotel in Mölle, Rusthållargården, Rut in Skäret and Strand Hotell have in common? They are all in White Guide and like to use ingredients grown and picked just around the corner.
- The climate on the island of Ven is so mild that durum wheat grows well here. Hvens Durum uses it to conjure up delicious breads, pastries and pastas. But that is not the end of the local produce! Barley is also grown here and turned into the island's own whisky at the Spirit of Hven distillery. Its Sankt Claus was chosen as the whisky of 2015 by Whisky Advocate. At the harbour, hop of your classic yellow Ven bicycle to enjoy a smooth ice cream and buy some freshly smoked herring to take home with you. A large culinary world on a tiny island.
- Skåne's soil and our long growing season are very good for grapes. We turn them into red, white, rosé and even sparkling wines. Visit some of our vineyards to see for yourself! Arilds Vingård, Kullahalvöns Vingård, Vejby Vingård, Södåkra Vingård, Aplagårdnes Vinhus, Villa Mathilda and Vingården i Frillestad will teach you more about the craftsmanship behind a really good wine.
- We like things to be home made. Some of our producers are entirely ecological, others use nothing that is not immediately local. Some are by the sea, some in the town, others in villages and quite a few in the heart of the countryside. We are a haven for White Guide eateries such as Flickorna Lundgren in Arild and Helsingborg's 1950's diner, Ebbas. On Ven, there is Café Tycho Brahe while Båstad has Solbackens Wåffelbruk and Café Utsikten. Not to mention Klåveröds Café, Koppi in Helsingborg, Vildrosor & Höns in Perstorp, Krapperups Kaffestuga… Yes, you have probably realised. We like our café moments!

With the current implementation of XP, the ship stats are what determine whether a round becomes an XP round or not. Since those are under 'our' (Jintao's) control, I don't see the problem.
A few more rounds that you´ve not mentioned where XP has been competative with value even though it is a value round.. such as round 75, we did it with zonny. round 72 several XP planets in top 10 and a hybrid won. Round 67 which you mentioned was a travesty and 66 was also competative with xp planets. The other rounds i mentioned XP seems to be competative with value, which is great.. 1 more road leading to rome as one would say.. i´d love for there to be several ways to win in this game, however my gripes with XP is that its something you cant lose.. which means there is no defensive element to the gameplay. its just att att att, deliberately let people land you cause that means you get less value.. its a bad game mechanic. But if we could come up with something to alter that dynamic that would be great.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Oxford (UK) investigating how architecture affects health and well-being from a Hindu-Christian spiritual perspective, after living in India where I studied their Vedic architectural system. I received my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, where I studied. It was precisely in this school of architecture where I started to have existential questions regarding the psychological and emotional impact of architecture on health and well-being.
My professional career took a radical turn after traveling for the first time to India in 2013 for 6 months, alone, backpacking and ready to live the adventure. There I started the practice of yoga and meditation as a lifestyle and discovered a new architectural concept based on the great spiritual teachings of India, awakening in me a greater interest for my Christian tradition. Since then my professional, spiritual and personal experience with the academic research in sacred space has been nourishing, evolving and combining each other. I look beyond what the eye can see with what the heart can feel in the search of Truth.
My wanderlust lifestyle has led me to live, study and work in England, France, Spain, Italy and India. After working for many years in large international architectural studios such as Foster + Partners and CTE, Dalalba was created thanks to a project selected by the business department of the Vicerectorado de Investigación de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in 2010. Its first technological essence has changed a lot since then, transforming over time into a design studio to promote the personal and spiritual growth of people through space.
My nature seeks the aesthetics to please the eye and the beauty to nourish the soul.

Snoopy and the Red Baron is an Atari 2600 game which includes Peanuts comic strips' Snoopy and his aviation rival, the Red Baron. It is a single player game with the player guiding Snoopy on his doghouse with four variations of difficulty to play. The objective is to shoot down Snoopy's rival, the Red Baron, controls being the stick to maneuver Snoopy and the button to fire. The game starts out with the player having four doghouses, otherwise known as lives. It takes eight hits to destroy the Red Baron, and eight hits from the Red Baron to have the player lose a doghouse.
An alternate notion is to collect 'treats' the Red Baron drops while falling, and to avoid skulls and crossbones. Touching the skulls and crossbones or being shot down will undo the player's progress in collecting treats. If the player collects all of the treats and downs all of the Red Barons, bonus points are rewarded. A Gold Baron is earned when the player downs fifty Red Barons.
In the game, the Red Baron often flies above the clouds; however, Snoopy cannot fly above the clouds in the play setting. An exclamation mark appears whenever one million points are scored.
Snoopy and the Red Baron is frequently criticized for its seemingly loopy AI and low difficulty; however, it is notable to include that Snoopy is resembled rather well for the limitations of the Atari 2600.

Janoris Jenkins' injured back improved enough since Sunday that he was able to partake in Tuesday's practice as a limited participant, but the Giants' top cornerback still isn't sure whether he'll be able play Thursday night against the Eagles.
"I'm just focused on getting better every day and see what happens," Jenkins said. "I feel good sometimes, but then again it is pain. I just have to take treatment."
Jenkins, who left in the second quarter of Sunday's win after taking an inadvertent knee to the back from teammate Trevin Wade, said he is just dealing with a bruise, but he remains very sore and he hasn't tried to run yet.
Though the quick turnaround gives Jenkins less time to recover, he hadn't considered sitting out to rest up for a potential playoff run.
"I was scared, but I'm glad it wasn't anything serious," Jenkins said. "I'm glad I got the result that I got."
Giving the Giants some optimism is that Jenkins tried to return after halftime of Sunday's game, but he was stopped by the team's medical staff. Coach Ben McAdoo said Jenkins would have more say in returning for Thursday's game.
"He's a veteran player who's played a lot of football, so he'll have some input in it," McAdoo said. "But it's ultimately a medical decision."
Odell Beckham Jr. was laughing when he saw Ezekiel Elliott jump into a Salvation Army kettle on Sunday as part of a touchdown celebration – which resulted in a penalty for excessive celebration – and the NFL's decision not to fine the Cowboys star was just as funny to Beckham, who is sure he wouldn't have received the same treatment from the league.
"It's just the way the world works. There's double standards everywhere," Beckham said Tuesday. "It's just how life is. I'm absolutely positive if I would've done that, I would've been fined. It's whatever. It's nothing against Zeke. Zeke is my boy.
"You set rules and limitations, but you don't follow them."
Giants running back Shane Vereen was placed on injured reserve with a triceps injury. Vereen, who missed nine games earlier in the season with a torn triceps, will undergo surgery this week.
LB Jonathan Casillas (knee) was a limited participant in practice, along with LB Keenan Robinson (shoulder), S Nat Berhe (concussion), OT Marshall Newhouse (shoulder), LS Zak DeOssie (hamstring) and OT Will Beatty (leg). … The Giants signed running back George Winn, and promoted linebacker Ishaq Williams from the practice squad.

No longer do I flinch unintentionally when a man tries to touch me. No longer do I spend hours in the shower trying to scrub unsought fingerprints from my body. I remember those days years with graphic detail. Sunken on the shower's floor, sobbing and shamed. The bruises were long gone but I swear I could still see them, feel them, even under my abraded skin. I wanted to disappear and take up as little space in the world as I could. I could only justify becoming invisible. Instead of falling in love with myself, I initiated a torrid love affair with the void in my stomach. The emptiness felt like a field of flowers, satiating my search for healing. My ribcage and spine represented a pristine lesson in skeletal anatomy.
While I am no longer a portrait of skin hanging off of bones like wispy clothes from wire coat hangers, the memories are stored in my body. There are nights I wake up with a tourniquet around my chest. Hyperventilating. Pressing my hand in to my stomach to remind myself I am safe; there's no baby in there.
Instead, there's a burning desire in my belly to rebuild all of the pieces of myself I had been convinced were stolen from me. Years of therapy later and a long, arduous journey into the depths of my soul painted a portrait of attainable fortitude. Had someone told me over a decade ago the work I'd have to go through to recover, I'd like to think I would have made different choices. Because fuck is it excruciating. Yet, I do not think I would alter my decisions for it has been this grueling exploration of being human that has shown me true beauty in life and the gravity of connection.
I remember my therapist use to tell me there is life after an eating disorder. There is life after trauma. There is a life where I can drive my own bus; a bus not dictated by my past. She was right. I have found a different sort of void to fall in love with – rock climbing. I can fill the void of the rock with my body, because I am enough. I have a compassionate tenderness for the bruises that decorate my skin from climbing. They are a beautiful colour of black and blue, and I chose them. And, they always heal. Instead of a field of flowers, I have found a desert full of sagebrush and abounding nothingness. That is where my heart lives, so full at times it's hard to remember where I came from.
To remember I no longer spend days in bed unable to do anything but gaze at the scars on my wrists. To remember the certainty I had in convincing myself I deserved the atrocities. To remember what it was like to starve, slowly dying. It is a humbling process to remember to be gentle with myself and to grant grace in healing.
This passage through time has taken years. I have most certainly come a long way with an even longer way to go. Living with myself day in and day out, progress is not always obvious to recognize. There are still some days where I simply can't bring myself to eat. And there are days where I feel utterly insatiable. This passage of healing isn't a straight line; it's a circle constantly coming back to carve its way deeper in to the very roots of letting go. There are still nights I wake up with a tourniquet around my chest. Pressing my hand to my heart to remind myself there's a fire in my belly and I am whole. I am wild. I am weightless.
