#Jay County Fair Grounds

[general-kalani]

[towel] - Sender catches receiver in nothing but a towel.

{ Prompt from here! }

To be fair, no one had ever intruded in his private space before like this. Or, well, since he'd gotten to this shithole of a County.

Jay had been lucky that he'd found him in a towel at all, lazily done up where a single wrong move will have it dropped to the ground.

His hair was still dripping wet as well as his body from the shower he'd just had.

But looking at Jay, he just grinned, not giving a single fuck that he was in such a compromising position, just one single towel away from revealing everything to the other.

"See something you like~?"

New Young Justice Headcannons

They give the Justice League a headache basically every week.

They have shelves for their own food, but basically everything else at their base is fair game to steal from each other.

Jon is really good at baking, and bakes all the time.

They all have their own rooms, which they all decorated.

Maya is the best cook on the team, and can make a meal out of basically anything .

They have a secret treehouse called the treehouse of solitude and no one except them know where it is.

The team meets every weekend

Maps and Suren are reserve members, which means they aren’t always there every weekend, and will show up more just when they want to.

Maps doesn’t tell her parents for over a year that she’s working with a superhero team. It’s safe to say she was grounded for a very long time after that.

Colin also doesn’t tell his foster families/the orphanage about his hero work, but he just leaves for the weekend and no one seems to mind too much.

Damian, Jon, and Kathy go to the same school...and let me tell you that doesn’t always go so well.

Lian, Irey, and Jai have know each other the longest on the team (technically Lian has know them since they were babies because of their speed aging)

Following that above hc, Irey and Jai aged 4 or 5 years in a couple months due to a malfunction with their powers. They were able to get help to stop it, but it definitely messed them up a little despite them aging physically and mentally.

Pretty much all of them have some sort of pet because it helps with the trauma of being a hero and being out in the field so young.

When some of them start dating each other, they are teased relentlessly.

Kathy has three brothers, so she takes absolutely no ones BS.

Two of them (Damian and Lian) have died and then been revived. And they sometimes joke about making sure they keep it at just two.

(A bit angstier) During an off world mission when they are teenagers that about half of them go on, there were a lot of complications that end up with 4/5 of them fatally injured. They all recover but there was a really good chance that none of them were going to make it.

They all go to the hamilton county fair together.

All of them have a time around each holiday where they celebrate as a team (because they are each other’s found family fight me) and anyone who doesn’t have family to celebrate a holiday with is always welcome at their teammates house.

That applies for any day too. The parents of the kids all have a no question asked policy if any of their kids teammates want to stay for dinner or need to stay the night for any reason.

Milagro joined the team late, and says that is was simultaneously the best and worst decision of her life lol

Tooling Around Jay County Indiana

Tooling Around Jay County Indiana

Keith and I went to Jay County for the Tri-State Gas, Engine & Tractor Association Inc. show and saw so much more!  Connecting with Gyneth Ausburger Director of the Jay County Visitor & Tourism Bureau, she cooked up lots of fun plans.

Before heading to Portland, we stopped at the Swiss Heritage Village in Berne, IN, but that is a story in itself! After our stop at this amazing place, we headed…

#TBT Bishop-Mausell-Meredith-Lerner House, Pomona, c. 1970

Photo from the John McCabe collection of the HSRC

This house’s most famous owner was Burgess Meredith, who lived in Ramapo for about 30 years. It was largely because of New City playwright Maxwell Anderson that Meredith and his then-wife Margaret Perry moved to Rockland and bought this house in the early 1940s. Anderson won New York Critics Circle Awards for two of his plays in which Meredith starred "Winter-set" in 1935 and "High Tor" in 1937, the latter of which also earned Meredith a Drama Critics Award. Meredith also starred in Anderson's 1938 play "The Star Wagon," with Lillian Gish.

Meredith's film credits include "Of Mice and Men" in 1939 and "Advise and Consent" in 1962. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of a boxing manager in the 1976 film "Rocky." He’s also well known for his campy portrayal of the Penguin in the Batman TV series.

When Meredith was married to actress Paulette Goddard, he sold this house to Broadway lyricist Alan Jay Lerner and built a new home close by on the property. Bud Widney of Wesley Hills, production manager for Lerner in the 1950s, recalled the parties Meredith gave at both houses and the horse farm he established at Camp Hill.

During the years Lerner lived in Ramapo, he wrote "My Fair Lady" with composer-collaborator Fritz Loewe, who rented another house nearby.

Historian Craig Long said, in 2000, that there is enough historical evidence to demonstrate the house's importance as a Ramapo landmark.

“Even if the stories about Generals George Washington and Anthony Wayne having stayed there are tradition and folklore," Long said, "there's no denying the fact that Revolutionary soldiers camped at Camp Hill."

According to the Rev. David Cole's history of Rockland, Meredith's house was "the old home of the Bishop family," likely built by Ebenezer Bishop, who lived from 1749 to 1829. Bishop and his family are buried in a small plot nearby.

“The house looks out over a spacious lawn and once was part of a large farm," said historian Marianne Leese of Suffern. "The area has historical significance for the encampment of Lafayette and his troops during the Revolution."

In the 19th century, Leese said, the house was owned by Capt. J. Mausell, an early steamboat captain on the Hudson River. Mausell was the second captain of the Rockland, the second steamboat to be built in the county, she said. In 1845, Leese said, Mausell became captain of a steamboat named the Warren, which sailed out of Haverstraw.

The house and grounds are owned by The Town of Ramapo.

Black Roses and Hail Marys

Inspired by artwork @xbullet-01​

Jason Peter Todd, age 15, died on Saturday, December 22 while on an overseas trip with adoptive father, Bruce Wayne. He is preceded in death by parents Catherine and Willis Todd. He is succeeded in life by adoptive father Bruce Wayne and adoptive brother Richard Grayson. A closed-casket visitation will take place at Newcomer Funeral Home from 10 AM until 7 PM on Thursday, December 27. The funeral will take place on Friday, December 28, at 9 AM at the Gotham Cathedral with graveside service to follow. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to the Hudson County Department of Child Services.

He crumpled the two-week old paper in his hands and threw it onto the floor, not caring where it had landed. It couldn’t be true. Jason wasn’t dead. Just a month ago, they’d been laughing together at the manor, Dick finally having warmed up to his replacement. Just two weeks ago they’d gone on patrol together and talked about all of the things Dick would be doing off-planet.

And now he was cold and stiff and pale and dead.

And Bruce hadn’t even bothered to give him a damned phone call.

He hadn’t even been able to go to the funeral.

His heart was pounding in his chest, and it wasn’t fair. He was able to stand there, complaining about something Jason would never be able to experience again.

He started to reach for the phone, teeth clenched. He rehearsed everything he wanted to say to Bruce in his head three times over. But his hand wouldn’t wrap around the receiver. He swore and punched the wall next to where the phone sat hanging, the pain in his knuckles not registering for several moments.

 ********

Dick had gone home to visit the family after a rough case with the Titans. He’d found out about the new kid from the papers and from some tense phone calls with Bruce and Alfred, but knowing and experiencing were two completely different things. “Hey,” he greeted Bruce and threw his bag onto his bed.

“You could’ve at least said hello to him,” Bruce crossed his arms and Dick rolled his eyes.

“Yeah, well you could’ve at least told me about him,” he snapped.

He didn’t even regret it when he saw the younger boy’s head quickly duck out of view of the doorframe, when he heard the footsteps all but running down the hall.

*********

 The rain was pouring down, but the water was hard to see against the black night sky. His suit clung to his skin, and he didn’t even care about how hard it was going to be to take off that much wet spandex once he got home. He had debated the outfit for hours. A suit was more appropriate, more formal, more traditional. But Jason had never done anything the traditional way.

Enough people would have worn suits to mourn him, people that sent flowers and Hallmark cards and pretended to care until the next big tragedy popped up. Jason’s name would fade away. Dick could see the future galas clearly in his head. “Oh, and remember that one boy? The one from Crime Alley? Such a shame what happened to him,” some woman with a diamond ring on her finger and diamond studs in her ears would say. “Ah, yes, a shame to die so young. What was his name? John? James?”

He wandered through the cemetery, long deserted by that hour, looking for the stone he least wanted to see. He passed the smaller graves with the tiny headstones. He passed the monuments for people that history had already forgotten.

And he saw it, gray and cold and unfeeling. Jason P. Todd. August 16, 1994 – December 22, 2009. May You Forever Soar the Skies.

Dick shook his head and stared at the stone. It wasn’t right. Jason had been fire. And now he was surrounded by ice.

 *********

 “Oh my God, we’re going to die,” Dick muttered and shut his eyes tightly, leaning his head against the back window of the car. On the list of bad ideas Bruce had come up with that week, Jason driving them to the gala was definitely near the top. By his count, they’d run two redlights (it was different when they were civilians) and nearly rammed into an elderly lady.

 Bruce turned and shot him a glare. “At least he didn’t wreck the car two minutes after getting onto the freeway and use the goddamn brake!”

 “Sorry,” Jason squeaked out, and Dick couldn’t help but smirk. At least Bruce was consistent with being tough on them.  

 He got out of the car, hanging behind Bruce, and waited for Jason to step out of the driver’s seat. “You did… okay,” he managed. “Just, I don’t know, relax or something, okay?”

 “Hard to do when you’re being screamed at,” Jason muttered and crossed his arms. For a moment, Dick wondered what the kid’s deal was. All Bruce had told Dick was that Jason’s parents were dead and that he came from the bad part of town.

 “Yeah, well, he does that,” Dick shrugged. “It’s how he shows he cares. Now let’s get inside. The sooner we make appearances the sooner we can disappear with Roy.”

 He thought he saw a glimmer of a smile on the younger boy’s face. And just for a moment, he thought maybe having someone on his side wouldn’t be so bad.

 **********

 He clutched a single, long-stemmed rose in his hand. The thorns had torn through his glove and made his hand bleed, but he didn’t care. He hadn’t been sure of what to bring. A bouquet seemed too impersonal.

 His chest was tight and his mouth was dry. Jason was just a kid. He’d just gotten his learner’s permit. He was going to ask the kid from his class out on a date. Now he was never going to get his license and he was never going to go on that date. He’d never get married. Never have kids. Never be the person Dick knew he could have been.

 And it was so damn unfair. Jason was starting to get better. Bruce was getting through to him. The anger and aggression and impulsivity were all getting better.

 Death was something that happened to other people, not to them. Not when enough had been taken from them already.

 He threw the rose onto the grave and sat on the cold, wet ground, staring at it. “I’m so sorry, Jay,” he heard his voice crack and he hated himself for it. He felt like the air had been knocked out of him, like someone had ripped his chest open and grabbed him by the heart.

 And he could feel the rage that Bruce always warned him about boiling in his veins because Jason had died and Bruce hadn’t done a goddamned thing about it.

 ******

 “If you flick your wrist they’ll fly better,” Dick leaned against the wall and watched as Jason practiced throwing his Birdarangs. Bruce had a Wayne Enterprises event. Alfred had been given the night off. And Dick had been less than thrilled at Bruce’s attempt to force him to bond with Jason.

 “Can you go five minutes without criticizing me?” Jason snapped, green eyes full of fight and fire.

 Dick blinked and crossed his arms, impressed that he’d finally stood up to him.  “Will you just trust me?” he asked.

 Jason sighed and let out a resigned “Fine.” Dick smiled and stood behind him, guiding his arms and his right wrist. He felt Jason’s breath catch when he saw the weapon fly and land, sticking into the wall. Alfred would be upset that they’d damaged the new paint, but Dick didn’t care.

 He stepped back and watched Jason turn to face him. “Did you see that?” the younger boy asked, eyes full of wonder.

 “You know,” Dick laughed. “Sometimes I do know what I’m talking about.”

 *******

 He shouldn’t have driven to the manor. Rationally, he knew that. He was angry and upset and not in his right mind. But he needed to have that conversation in person. “Dick?” Bruce frowned and glanced over at him from his desk. “I didn’t hear you come in.”

“When were you planning on telling me?” Dick slammed his helmet onto the desk in front of him.

“How did you…”

“The damn paper, Bruce!” he snapped and shook his head furiously. “Not to mention it’s all over the damn media. Did you think I wouldn’t find out? He’s dead and you couldn’t even come to tell me yourself…”

“I didn’t know what to say,” Bruce sighed and rested his head in the palm of his hand. And for a second, Dick felt sorry for him. He’d lost a brother, but Bruce had lost a son. “It was quick,” he said, but wouldn’t look back up at Dick. “He wasn’t in pain.”

“And I’m sure that’s exactly what you told all your stupid fake friends,” Dick said, trying to keep his temper in check. “What really happened?”

“Why do you need to know the details?”

“Because he’s my brother, and he’s dead, and you don’t even care enough to tell the damned truth about it!”

He’d crossed a line. He knew it as soon as he saw Bruce’s eyes flash, something dangerous in them. Bruce Wayne, caring father and public figure had left the room. Cold, terrifying Batman had replaced him. “You want to know what happened?” the older man demanded. Dick wondered if Alfred would pop his head in to make sure they were both okay. “He went off on his own. He was kidnapped by the Joker. He was beaten within an inch of his life, and he was blown up. Are you happy now?”

 And Dick wanted to scream, to demand how Bruce could keep himself so far away from the situation. But fighting wouldn’t solve anything. It wouldn’t bring Jason back.

He grabbed his helmet and he left.

 ******

They had fought just before Jason had died. Dick had told himself he’d cool down while he was off-planet. That they could work it out and go back to their regular, twisted lives. You could have killed him, he could still hear his voice shouting at Jason, dressed as Robin.

Yeah, well I didn’t. Even if he deserved it.

The rain was falling harder. It was late and he needed to get back home. But he didn’t want to leave Jason there alone. He should have been nicer. Maybe then Jason wouldn’t have gone off on his own. Maybe then he’d still be alive.

Dick never hugged him. Dick Grayson, the most touchy-feely person on the planet, had never hugged his little brother, the person he was supposed to protect and love and care for no matter what.

His arms were wrapped around the headstone before he knew what he was doing. His breaths were shuddering and ragged, and he knew that the rain wasn’t the only thing making his face wet.

He rested his head against the cold, hard concrete. “I’m sorry, Jay,” he spoke, voice barely above a broken whisper.

Jason was gone.

And it was all his fault.

“Dick?” he jumped when he heard Bruce’s voice behind him. He pulled himself away from the headstone, trying to act as though nothing had ever happened. He started to stand, but Bruce pushed him back down. He watched as his adoptive father sat on the ground beside him. What a sight it must have been, Nightwing and Batman staring at the grave of a boy time would forget. “I’m sorry.”

He wanted to fight. He wanted to scream for Bruce to leave him the hell alone, to never talk to him again. But all the fight had been drained out of him. And when Bruce pulled him into a tight hug, he did nothing to push him away. “I’m so, so sorry.”

About Missouri’s defeat of Proposition A

What is Right to Work?

“Right to Work” is a disingenuous name for a specific type of anti-union law. See, if your workplace is unionized, you benefit from the union contract whether or not you’re a union member; you get the same benefits, the same protections, and even access to the grievance process if your boss screws you over.

Since labor unions need money to exist (and pay their full-time staff, hire lawyers on behalf of workers, etc.) you either have to join the union and pay dues, or pay an “agency fee” (also called a “fair share fee”) to support the work the union does on your behalf.

“Right to work” laws forbid unions from collecting those agency fees, usually by arguing that workers who aren’t members have no say over how their fees are utilized (and playing up how much unions spend on political activism, to make this seem like a free-speech issue). This is meant to starve unions of the money they need to operate, since, by federal law, they can’t deny services to these freeloading non-members.

What happens in states with Right to Work laws?

Union membership drops, as unions can no longer afford to pay for recruitment, maintain regional offices, etc. Without unions, average wages drop as well, and many workers lose employer-sponsored health insurance or have to pay more for less coverage.

Advocates of Right to Work often claim that the law will create jobs or attract new investment to their state once the “burden” of dealing with unions is lifted. There’s not actually much evidence for this. Depressing wages, especially for lower-income workers, also ultimately starves state and local governments of tax revenue, which has a ripple effect on other parts of the economy.

How many US states have Right to Work laws?

As of 2018, 27 states and Guam have some form of Right to Work law on the books or enshrined in their state constitution. In sixteen of these states (and New  Hampshire, which later repealed its law) the provision was enacted in the late 1940s or early 1950s, when labor unions were under pressure to distance themselves from Soviet-style communism and racists were throwing tantrums about being “forced” to join unions with black membership. In eight states, including Missouri, these laws were enacted or embedded in the state constitution after 2012 with the backing of ALEC and other far-right interests, many of which take money from billionaires like the Koch brothers. It isn’t hard to see how undermining labor unions serves the needs of the would-be billionaire oligarchy.

What about Janus v. AFSCME?

This was a recent (2018) Supreme Court case over agency fees in a public-sector union. By a 5-4 margin, the Court threw out forty years of precedent by deciding that all union activity is inherently political speech. This means that members of public sector unions, such as public school teachers and government workers, can no longer be asked to pay fair-share fees. This only applies to government employees, however; state-level Right to Work laws apply to the private sector as well.

What happened in Missouri?

In 2015, Missouri’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a Right to Work bill which was vetoed by Democratic governer Jay Nixon.

In 2016, a Republican, Eric Greitens, was elected governor. The new legislature immediately passed another Right to Work bill, SB19, and Greitens signed it into law on February 2, 2017. It was set to take effect on August 28 of that year.

A coalition of labor unions, civil rights groups and progressive organizations, together with the state and local Democratic party committees, spent the spring and summer of 2017 collecting signatures on a petition for a veto referendum. On August 11, over 300,000 signatures were presented to the Secretary of State’s office, three times the minimum number needed. It was announced that SB19 would not go into effect until the referendum was voted on in 2018. It was put on the ballot as Proposition A.

Republican and business interests did relatively little to campaign for Prop A, though they did succeed it moving the vote from the November general election to the August primary. The language on the ballot was also deliberately confusing and emulated pro-Right to Work talking points. The No On A campaign, by contrast, spent more than three times as much money to mobilize labor unions and volunteers across the state to canvas neighborhoods and educate voters about the implications of the law.

On August 7, 2018, Prop A was defeated by a 2-to-1 margin.

What does this mean for other states?

Unclear. Missouri law allows for a veto referendum to be initiated by citizens through a petition procedure, but only 22 other states have the same or similar process, and signatures must generally be submitted shortly after a bill is passed for the referendum to take effect. In addition, some states have Right to Work language in their constitutions, which are much more difficult to amend.

That said, the law was defeated even in counties with sky-high Republican turnout. (In comparison, Trump won Missouri with 57% of the vote in 2016). This hopefully signals to labor organizations, and also Democrats, that battles such as these aren’t hopeless, and a good ground game can defeat schemers in high places.

It also sets a blueprint for how future attempts to enact Right to Work can be challenged.

What’s next?

Missouri still has a Republican governor, Mike Parson. (Greitens resigned after it was revealed he broke fundraising laws and tried to blackmail his mistress with revenge porn.) So Right to Work could simply return next legislative session. However, the large margin of defeat may make that less likely, and it probably puts some pressure on Parson to veto a second attempt if he has any hope of getting properly elected in 2020.

Half of Missouri’s state senate seats and all its state house seats are up for election this November, and term-limit laws mean a large number of incumbents can’t run for re-election. However, Democratic candidates would need to gain nine house seats and three senate seats just to eliminate the Republican supermajorities; actually gaining control would require a net gain of 36 house seats, or nine of the 17 senate seats up for grabs.

The Heat Was Hot and the Ground Was Dry - Chapter 1 (Horse With No Name)

Written for @desertkeithweek - Day 1 (Next Chapter) Read on AO3

The shack wasn’t exactly much of a home. When Keith had first opened the door to shack, he had behind greeted by a flood of dank heat humidity from the shack having sat idle for so long, baking in the desert heat, and the rattling air conditioning unit was taking its time getting it back to livable temperatures. The place has been dusty as well, and sandy. The windows and doorways were supposed to be pretty much air-tight to keep the dust and dirt out, but it seemed that a good bit had managed to seep in through whatever cracks it could find during the interim years since Keith had last been there. The place was almost bare of furnishings, and the few posters that functioned as personal touches on the drywall were so faded he could no longer tell from looking at the what they were originally supposed to depict.

To be fair, it wasn’t supposed to be a home. It was supposed to be a workshop-slash-storage area. His dad had cleared out a good portion of the shack to store shelves and boxes of books and papers and haphazardly stack monitors and equipment from that repurposed electronics store the next county over. For work, his dad had told him, for a project. Keith had no idea what the work had been, and hadn’t been particularly interested, not back when he was a kid.

The rest of the shack was used to pile high the sort of things that probably would have gone into a garage or shed if the house had had one and had started gathering dust from disuse even when Keith’s dad was still around. Hardware and tools, spare parts for the hoverbike, outdated electronics that his dad was sure he could still recycle into something useful someday; the shack was insulated well enough that they wouldn’t get warped beyond usability in the heat. And a stock of food, non-perishables in tightly sealed tins.

When he’d asked his dad what those were for, he’d simply replied, “Just in case.” Keith had left it at that. He idly wondered now if the “just in case” had included, “Just in case you get kicked out of school and have nowhere or no one to go to, and you’re feeling a little peckish.”

The house proper used to have some of these tins in the pantry as well, but those were long gone now. Them along with the house itself. Arson, the police had said. Culprit: person or persons unknown. It was a shitty answer, but it was the only one they would offer Keith.

The only furniture in the shack was a couch, the kind with a stiff metal frame and flat cushions that you would find in an office or a waiting room. It was far from an ideal bed, but Keith supposed it would have to do.

It wasn’t like he had anywhere else to go.

He was relieved when he flicked the light switch to the shack to see that the power was still working here. The little solar unit outside that was source of electricity for the shack had been practically obsolete even when his dad had first installed it, and Keith hadn’t been certain it would have held itself together all this time. He would have to test and see if he could use several of the outlets at once without it overcharging, but he was optimistic. In this desert sun, the panels had plenty to power them. Thank you, Arizona.

The first thing Keith did after starting up the air conditioning was decide he ought to get started on cleaning. The dust and sand had to go first. He located a push broom in one of the storage piles, right in the back corner, its handled propping up an old AM/FM radio that was balanced on a sagging cardboard box.

On a whim, he decided to grab the radio as well. Might as well; there wasn’t exactly much by way of entertainment here. He hadn’t really given much thought to how he was going to occupy his time out in the desert – he had been a lot more focused on just finding somewhere to go and hoping that the state would let him slip through the cracks again enough that they wouldn’t notice he still had months to go before he legally aged out of the foster system. He would much rather spend the rest of his life in a run-down one-room shack than another few months in one of those group homes.

The sound from the radio speakers crackled a bit, but otherwise came out fine. It took him some time exploring the dials to find a station to listen to, though. Most of the frequencies were just white noise. AM and FM radio stations weren’t nearly as common as they used to be, and probably would be gone entirely if enough radio enthusiasts weren’t still around to cling to them for the sake of nostalgia.

There were a couple of news and talk radio stations that he passed over immediately. He knew exactly what was going to be on them – the only thing that the local news had been talking about for days: the Kerberos mission. The Kerberos Tragedy, some of the media outlets were calling it. And Keith was sick of hearing about it.

The first music station he found was a country station, and Keith would rather have dug his eardrums out with a screwdriver than listened to that.

He finally settled on a station that was halfway through playing “Smoke on the Water” when he turned to it. Classic rock, he figured, confirmed when the song faded out and “Edge of Seventeen” started up in its wake. Wasn’t his favorite genre, but he didn’t dislike it either. He could probably acquire a taste for it.

He let the station play as he swept and dusted, pausing to cough when he kicked out a particularly bad cloud of the dust or dirt. There was no dusting spray he could find, and no mop. Sometime he would have to make a trip out to town to pick up what supplies weren’t already in the shack, but it could wait.

Once he decided he had sufficiently cleared off the surfaces of the shack’s interior, he went outside to get a drink. He had to crank the slightly rusting pump several times before it started gurgling up water from the artesian well below the ground – he didn’t know if the shack was just too far away from town to use the reservoir or if it had just been more convenient not to have to worry about water bills, but as a kid he’d gotten by just fine solely on well-water. He took a drink from the spigot and then ducked his head under the water flow, sighing at the relief of the cool water after the heat of the shack.

He would have to figure out how to get that pump to work for him as a showerhead. There were some pipes in the shack’s storage, and he thought he could probably fathom up some way to fashion a make-shift shower stall if he partitioned off this area around the pump.

That would be a project for tomorrow, though. He shook the dripping water out of his hair and went back inside, ready to get a start on sorting through the piles of junk stored up here and figuring out what he could use and what should be cleared away.

The music was no longer playing when he entered, and instead the two deejays were engaging in some sort of between-song banter. Keith tuned it out as he went about his work.

Or, at least, he tried to, until one particular phrase caught his attention.

“ – petition going around to have statue made for the crew of the Kerberos mission,” one of the deejays was saying.

“A statue,” the other one said. “See, I like that. If I went to outer space and died, I’d want a statue. And I’d want them to build it out of those rocks they brought back from the moon when they sent Apollo up there.”

“You want a statue made of moon rocks,” the first one laughed.

“Well, why not? It ain’t like they’re doin’ anythin’ with them but lettin’ them sit in storage or somethin’.”

“I’m pretty sure they’re using them for, like, science.”

“‘Like, science’, you’re so eloquent.”

“I’m a poet.”

“Sure you are. Listeners, if you call now we’ll send you a poetry anthology by Electric Eddie, only nineteen-ninety-nine.”

“All profits go toward building Bennie Jay a statue out of moon rocks.” The second deejay snorted.

Keith gritted his teeth, but he kept up with his work. They were local deejays, of course they were going to talk about Kerberos. At least they’d be getting back to playing music soon. And at least they weren’t badmouthing Shiro. Keith certainly wasn’t crazy about the fact that they were being so blasé about the event, but he would take that over listening to someone lament over the ‘pilot error’ that had supposedly brought the mission down.

“You know we’re legitimitely going to get someone to start lobbying to make the Kerberos statue out of moon rocks now, and it’ll be your fault,” the first deejay said.

“The Kerberos statue that probably isn’t even happenin’.”

“They won’t care, stuff like this brings the crazies out of the woodwork.”

“Ooh, speakin’ of, I don’t know how much you’ve been following social media the last few days – ”

“Little to none.”

“ – but the conspiracy theories have officially gotten into full swing,” the second deejay continued.

“Oh, well, naturally. So what’s the conspiracy, did the Garrison fake the Kerberos launch?”

“Oh, nah, nah, this time there’s a cover-up. We’ve got a good chunk of people sayin’ that the Garrison was lyin’ about what caused the mission to fail.”

“You don’t say.”

“So, dependin’ on who you ask, either they’re coverin’ up the fact that they built the ship wrong to try and protect their reputation, or they had planned for the mission to fail all along as some sort of tax scheme.”

“A tax scheme.”

“Yeah.”

“What the hell kinda tax scheme would that even be?”

“I dunno, I didn’t come up with that. But hey, you gotta admit, if anyone were gonna figure out a way to do that and cover it up, it’d be the Galaxy Garrison.’

“Oh, yeah, you’re right on that mark. Do they have any research going on that’s not ‘top secret’?”

“Nope, all real hush-hush. They’re the big exclusive secret hideout in outer space.”

“Space CIA.”

“Space CIA, that’s it.”

“So tell me, Bennie, which theory do you subscribe to?”

“Neither, I’ve got my own theory.”

“And what’s that?”

“Just a sec.”

There was a rummaging sound, and after a moment the first deejay asked, “What are you doing?”

“Startin’ up the next song.”

“But you said you – ” He stopped as a piano riff started playing, and then burst out laughing. “Okay, you heard it here first, folks. The Kerberos mission failed due to alien abduction.”

“You owe me ten bucks if I’m right,” the second deejay said.

“Will do. Here’s ‘Come Sail Away’. Enjoy.” He finished right as the singer started up, and the deejays went silent while the song played.

Keith sighed, releasing a tension he hadn’t realized he’d been holding in his shoulders. It seemed maybe he wasn’t the only one who wasn’t satisfied with the ‘pilot error’ explanation the Garrison had given. Sure, he was being marked ‘crazy conspiracy theorist’, but at least he wasn’t alone.

He half-listened to the music as he focused on rearranging the storage piles, catching just a couple of phrases of the lyrics.

“I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies.”

Keith had never understood prog rock.

He ended up working well into the night, the sun already set by the time he stood back from the piles of storage which he’d sorted meticulously by function and usefulness. There was more space now that the shack was organized, leaving the area feeling just a little less suffocatingly cramped. And he could take better stock of his inventory now; he figured he had at least a few weeks before he would have to find a way to buy more supplies.

He realized only once he had finished how worn out he was, and he flipped the light and flopped right down onto the couch. He didn’t bother with a blanket. The air conditioning was working, but it still wasn’t cool enough in the shack for him to want to sleep with bedcovers.

It wasn’t until he had settled onto the couch that he realized he had left the radio on, the upbeat rhythm of “Listen to the Music” bouncing off the walls, the only sound in the shack. For a moment he debated getting up to turn it off, but he ultimately decided against it. He was already in his sleeping position, and he wasn’t up to moving it. He opted instead to just fall asleep to the sounds of the radio.

“That was the Doobie Brothers, celebrating the anniversary of the release of their fifth studio album Stampede on this day in music history,” the deejay said – Electric Eddie, Keith was pretty sure this one was. “And we’re gonna keep the soft rock theme going for the next half hour. Here’s America with a transatlantic hit from their debut album – I think you know the one.”

A guitar started strumming, a little slower and softer than the previous song, and Keith closed his eyes and let the crooning voice of the singer act like something of a lullabye. The tune and lyrics went in and out of his head as he faded, but he knew this song, so he didn’t really need to pay attention to catch the words.

“You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain”

He was asleep before the song ended.

Disneyland as a Vaccination Site? Airports as Test Centers? The Travel Industry Pitches In

Other parts of the travel industry are helping, too

Many corners of the travel industry are looking for a way to pitch in to help end the pandemic.

More than a dozen U.S. airports now double as virus testing sites, including Chicago O’Hare and Chicago Midway, Los Angeles International, Tampa, Newark and Minneapolis-St. Paul. Inside many terminals, XpresSpa has pivoted from offering airport massages and manicures to rapid coronavirus tests.

Covid-19 Vaccines ›

Answers to Your Vaccine Questions

If I live in the U.S., when can I get the vaccine?

While the exact order of vaccine recipients may vary by state, most will likely put medical workers and residents of long-term care facilities first. If you want to understand how this decision is getting made, this article will help.

When can I return to normal life after being vaccinated?

Life will return to normal only when society as a whole gains enough protection against the coronavirus. Once countries authorize a vaccine, they’ll only be able to vaccinate a few percent of their citizens at most in the first couple months. The unvaccinated majority will still remain vulnerable to getting infected. A growing number of coronavirus vaccines are showing robust protection against becoming sick. But it’s also possible for people to spread the virus without even knowing they’re infected because they experience only mild symptoms or none at all. Scientists don’t yet know if the vaccines also block the transmission of the coronavirus. So for the time being, even vaccinated people will need to wear masks, avoid indoor crowds, and so on. Once enough people get vaccinated, it will become very difficult for the coronavirus to find vulnerable people to infect. Depending on how quickly we as a society achieve that goal, life might start approaching something like normal by the fall 2021.

If I’ve been vaccinated, do I still need to wear a mask?

Yes, but not forever. The two vaccines that will potentially get authorized this month clearly protect people from getting sick with Covid-19. But the clinical trials that delivered these results were not designed to determine whether vaccinated people could still spread the coronavirus without developing symptoms. That remains a possibility. We know that people who are naturally infected by the coronavirus can spread it while they’re not experiencing any cough or other symptoms. Researchers will be intensely studying this question as the vaccines roll out. In the meantime, even vaccinated people will need to think of themselves as possible spreaders.

Will it hurt? What are the side effects?

The Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine is delivered as a shot in the arm, like other typical vaccines. The injection won’t be any different from ones you’ve gotten before. Tens of thousands of people have already received the vaccines, and none of them have reported any serious health problems. But some of them have felt short-lived discomfort, including aches and flu-like symptoms that typically last a day. It’s possible that people may need to plan to take a day off work or school after the second shot. While these experiences aren’t pleasant, they are a good sign: they are the result of your own immune system encountering the vaccine and mounting a potent response that will provide long-lasting immunity.

Will mRNA vaccines change my genes?

No. The vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer use a genetic molecule to prime the immune system. That molecule, known as mRNA, is eventually destroyed by the body. The mRNA is packaged in an oily bubble that can fuse to a cell, allowing the molecule to slip in. The cell uses the mRNA to make proteins from the coronavirus, which can stimulate the immune system. At any moment, each of our cells may contain hundreds of thousands of mRNA molecules, which they produce in order to make proteins of their own. Once those proteins are made, our cells then shred the mRNA with special enzymes. The mRNA molecules our cells make can only survive a matter of minutes. The mRNA in vaccines is engineered to withstand the cell’s enzymes a bit longer, so that the cells can make extra virus proteins and prompt a stronger immune response. But the mRNA can only last for a few days at most before they are destroyed.

Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, Calif., has been closed to guests since March; in December, they lent one of their ultracold freezers to a hospital in nearby Salinas; the special freezer can maintain temperatures of minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit, which are required to safely store some coronavirus vaccines.

In the early weeks of the pandemic, the State Fair of West Virginia signed an agreement with the Greenbrier County Health Department, pledging the use of their facilities for testing, vaccination and even a surge hospital, if needed. Closed in 2020, their grounds have since been the site for three free drive-through testing clinics, and are now currently operating as a vaccination center for local residents.

Many of the Orange County residents who get their vaccine jabs at Disneyland will have gone for coronavirus testing at the Anaheim Convention Center, which, like convention centers across the country, saw traffic screech to a halt in March. Jay Burress, president and chief executive of Visit Anaheim, estimates the freeze cost the city $1.9 billion in lost revenue. He responded by donating unused supplies to local nonprofits. In July, the convention center parking lot was converted into a mass testing site.

“How do we reopen safely? That’s been our goal all along,” said Mr. Burress. “To market our destination, either as a leisure destination or a convention destination when hotels aren’t even open for leisure travel, is spinning your wheels.”

Sharon Decker is president of North Carolina’s Tryon Resort, which includes 250 rooms and an equestrian center, as well as a 300,000-square-foot indoor arena, on 1,600 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She wasn’t surprised in October when Polk County, N.C., officials reached out to see if she would be willing to donate that arena as a vaccination site, although she knew it would present logistical challenges. The site opened in mid-December.

“We forged a real partnership with public health officials,” she said. “It had to be true public-private partnership to pull this off. But when you have shared goals, for a healthy economy and healthy businesses, you can figure it out.”

3 more linked to neo-Nazi group arrested in Georgia

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three men linked to a violent white supremacist group known as The Base were charged with conspiring to kill members of a militant anti-fascist group, police in Georgia announced Friday, a day after three other members were arrested on federal charges in Maryland and Delaware.

A senior FBI national security official said police and federal agents intentionally moved to arrest the men ahead of Monday’s rally because they believed some of them intended to commit violence there. It was unknown if the men arrested in Georgia planned to attend the rally in Richmond.

The Base, a collective of hardcore neo-Nazis that operate as a paramilitary organization, has proclaimed war against minority communities within the United States and abroad, the FBI has said. Unlike other extremist groups, it’s not focused on promulgating propaganda — instead, the group aims to bring together highly skilled members to train them for acts of violence.

There’s an intensified focus on The Base after the three members were arrested Thursday in Maryland and Delaware on federal felony charges. A criminal complaint included details of how some of the men built an assault rifle using parts, purchased thousands of rounds of ammunition, and traded vests that could carry body armor.

“A big reason why we disrupted it now was based on the timing of the rally on Monday and the intent of some of the individuals to potentially conduct violent acts down in Richmond,” said Jay Tabb, the executive assistant director for national security at the FBI.

Speaking at a homeland security event in Washington, he said the FBI has “got a fair sense of worry” because agents “can’t account for everybody and everything.”

“We have a degree of interest of some individuals that we know are at least saying that they will be there and we have no way to predict where rhetoric turns to violence,” Tabb said.

Organizers of The Base recruit fellow white supremacists online — particularly seeking out veterans because of their military training — use encrypted chat rooms and train members in military-style camps in the woods, according to experts who track extremist groups.

The group, which has the motto “learn, train, fight,” brings together white supremacists with varying ideologies.

The arrests show an intensified focus on the group from law enforcement officials who are concerned that the supremacists may go beyond plotting to violent acts, a threat made more urgent ahead of a pro-gun rally Monday in Richmond, Va.

The arrests only added to rising fears that Monday’s rally could quickly devolve into violence, with thousands of protesters planning to descend on Virginia’s capital, and become a repeat of the 2017 white nationalist rally when a man drove his car into counter-protesters in Charlottesville, killing Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal and civil rights activist.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed an executive order banning guns from the state Capitol grounds for Monday’s rally, but pro-gun groups filed an appeal seeking to overturn the ban. The Virginia Supreme Court upheld the ban Friday.

“These extremists are going to try to attach themselves to these events in order to exploit these strong feelings, to try to bring in new recruits,” said Oren Segal, vice president of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.

In encrypted chat rooms, members of The Base have discussed committing acts of violence against blacks and Jews, ways to make improvised explosive devices, and their desire to create a white “ethno-state,” the FBI has said in court papers.

On Friday, police in Georgia confirmed that the three other men linked to The Base were arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and participating in a criminal street gang. Authorities said the men planned to kill a married couple who were anti-fascist protesters — part of the Antifa movement — and believed killing the couple would send a message to enemies of The Base.

The arrests came after an undercover FBI agent infiltrated the group and participated in shooting drills in the mountains of northern Georgia, according to a police affidavit obtained by the AP. The drills were being done in preparation for what they believe is an impending collapse of the United States and ensuing race war. At the end of the firearms training, the Georgia men wore tactical gear and balaclava hoods that expose only part of the face while posing for photos with the undercover agent and the photos were later used in the group’s propaganda, the affidavit says.

The men were identified as Luke Austin Lane, Michael Helterbrand, and Jacob Kaderli. The three remained in custody and it was not immediately clear whether they had attorneys who could comment on the allegations.

Lane, Kaderli, and the undercover agent drove to the couple’s home in Bartow County to scope it out, according to the affidavit. After checking out the property and the surrounding neighborhood, Lane suggested using a sledgehammer as one way of breaching the door, then kill them with revolvers, according to the affidavit. Kaderli suggested they should burn the house down after the killings, it states.

While other extremist groups are focused on getting people together to produce propaganda and make a name for themselves around a specific ideology, The Base is focused on action, the experts say. They are interested in training their members to use firearms and explosives.

“To have that kind of broad tent, that’s incredibly dangerous,” said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a researcher with the Counter Extremism Project, a policy group formed to combat online extremist ideologies.

Members of The Base also believe in an extreme form of survivalism and preparation, offering real-life survivalist training to resist the “extinction” of the Caucasian race, the FBI has said.

“I think what marks The Base as a particular concern is that it is very blatant about its embrace of accelerationist ideas. This concept that societal collapse is not only imminent but that they have a role to play in furthering it - so that we can have a race war in this country,” Segal said.

“There are many groups active online that have an on-the-ground presence, but it’s the sub-culture that the base is embracing is so vividly militant,” he said. “It’s so blatantly hateful it’s going to attract a certain type of extremist, one who is looking for action.”

A New Jersey man who authorities say was a recruiter for The Base was arrested by the FBI in November after he allegedly used the group to find fellow neo-Nazis to vandalize synagogues in Michigan and Wisconsin. Authorities said the group’s plan to vandalize synagogues with anti-Semitic graffiti and break windows was part of what the group called “Operation Kristallnacht,” a reference to a 1938 incident when Nazis torched synagogues in Germany, vandalized Jewish homes and business and killed close to 100 people.

The man, Richard Tobin, 18, had also discussed carrying out a suicide bombing and said he had saved manuals about how to carry out an attack, filling the back of a truck with barrels packed with explosive materials similar to the Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people in 1995.

Separately on Friday, the Justice Department charged a Wisconsin man who they say was also a member of The Base who spray-painted swastikas, the group’s symbol, and anti-Semitic words on a synagogue in Racine, Wisconsin in September, at Tobin’s direction. The man, Yousef Barasneh, 22, was arrested on a federal civil rights charge.

Tobin is not specifically named in the charging papers against Barasneh, but the details match those in the criminal complaint that was filed against him in November. Authorities said Tobin and Barasneh were supposed to meet in person at one of the group’s meetups in in Silver Creek, Georgia, from Oct. 30 until Nov. 2. Tobin ultimately didn’t attend.

Prosecutors said recruitment posters for The Base were put up at Marquette University in Milwaukee and the group also held a separate training session for members in Wood County, Wisconsin.

Trump attacks California homeless crisis, picking new fight with state

Trump officials look to fix California homeless problem, state officials say back off

Marco della Cava, Michele Chandler and John Fritze USA TODAY

Published 8:36 PM EDT Sep 10, 2019

SAN FRANCISCO — Trump administration officials confirmed Tuesday they are on the ground in California looking at ways to intervene in the state’s mounting homelessness issue, which President Donald Trump has criticized as “disgusting” and a “disgrace to our country.”

But many elected officials and homelessness experts in the Golden State said any White House assistance would be disingenuous given federal housing cuts have helped exacerbate the problem. Some also accused Trump of using the homelessness issue to win over conservative supporters ahead of the 2020 election. 

“We need federal support and resources to build more housing for people living on the streets," San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement. “But simply cracking down on homelessness without providing the housing people need is not a real solution.”

In this 2016 file photo, a man stands outside his tent on Division Street in San Francisco. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, outlined his plans in his proposed budget to spend $1.75 billion on housing in a state that is woefully short on units and $500 million on homelessness. In Newsom's first 100 days as governor, he's placed a moratorium on the death penalty, set aggressive goals to increase housing and battled with the Trump administration on immigration.

Nathan Click, chief spokesman for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, also in part blamed the president for the state's poverty woes. “If the president is willing to put serious solutions, with real investment, on the table, California stands ready to talk. He could start by ending his plans to cut food stamps, gut health care for low-income people and scare immigrant families from accessing government services,” he said.

State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) was even more blunt.

“Trump needs to back off and focus on his own mess of an administration," Wiener said. "Rounding up homeless people into federal facilities won’t solve the problem. We need to get people the help they need, including shelter, housing, and other services.”

Trump plans still unclear

Trump officials have not specified what kinds of actions or solutions they would implement in California. 

A senior administration official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations confirmed to USA TODAY that a team of federal officials was on the ground in California assessing local homeless camps. The official said the team was conducting a fact-finding mission to learn more about the crisis.

The news was first reported by The Washington Post, which cited unnamed officials describing a coming crackdown, particularly in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, which have some of the nation's largest homeless populations.

The report did not specify what actions officials planned to take, but suggested that camps could be razed with homeless individuals moved into either new facilities or refurbished buildings.

According to last year's survey by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, some 130,000 Californians were homeless, or nearly a quarter of the national total.

Officials said Los Angeles' "Skid Row" was a particular priority. The area has seen a growing number of homeless as housing prices there and in most California cities continue to skyrocket. Los Angeles County saw nearly 59,000 homeless residents during a June count, up from approximately 55,000 people in 2017. 

Late Tuesday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti released a letter written to Trump that outlined a number of things his administration could do to help the homelessness issue in Los Angeles, which with some 79,000 homeless residents, trails only New York City. 

Garcetti, who recently led administration officials on a tour of a range of homeless shelters and housing complexes, said that although "this crisis is decades in the making," solutions could include protecting existing fair-housing laws, rescinding proposed HUD rules to evict mixed-status immigrant families from assisted housing, and supporting measures that would expand the housing safety net for veterans and the poor.

No where in Garcetti's letter did he address the prospect of L.A. homeless encampments being razed and its population's moved to federal housing projects.

White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement Tuesday that "like many Americans, the president has taken notice of the homelessness crisis, particularly in cities and states where the liberal policies of overregulation, excessive taxation and poor public service delivery are combining to dramatically increase poverty and public health risks."

Deere added that Trump has "directed his team to go further and develop a range of policy options for consideration to deal with this tragedy."

First reaction: 'Internment camps'

But critics are far from eager for the president's help.

Bob Erlenbusch, executive director of the Sacramento Regional Coalition to End Homelessness, fretted that president was looking to round homeless people up.

"My first reaction is that it felt like internment camps for people experiencing homelessness," he said. "The president doesn’t seem to have any grasp of the homeless crisis not only in California but around the country."

Some, however, welcomed the possibility of federal intervention.

When asked about whether razing homeless camps could be seen as a violation homeless peoples’ civil rights, U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) said Democrats across the state might be overreacting.

“Civil rights based on people squatting on land that isn’t theirs, that is a bit of a reach there,” he said.

A meeting held this earlier this year on homelessness in California seemed to presage the administration's interest in potentially stepping in.

Jonathan Anderson, executive director of the Redding-based Good News Rescue Mission, the only homeless shelter in Shasta County in northern California, said that during a national homelessness conference in April, officials from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development asked to meet with the 30 executive directors of rescue missions from California, Washington and Oregon about possible future partnerships.

The discussions touched on “how could these faith-based nonprofits co-locate and partner and bring the government agencies into sharing the workload that we’re doing. That was very encouraging. No decisions were made. It was just very open dialogue," he said. 

“They did say," Anderson added, "that no matter what happens, the majority of this is going to be focused around the L.A. region."

Trump has had a long running feud not only with California's governor, but also with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who represents San Francisco. California has filed roughly 50 lawsuits against the Trump administration in the past two years over matters ranging from immigration to the U.S. Census.

The president has not hesitated to blast the largely liberal state, whose importance in the 2020 election has grown since its primary was moved to March.

A homeless man sits at his tent along the Interstate 110 freeway in downtown Los Angeles. California Gov. Gavin Newsom met with the mayors of some of California's largest cities to discuss the homeless situation last month.

Richard Vogel, AP

“Nearly half of all the homeless people living in the streets in America happen to live in the state of California," Trump said during a rally in Ohio last month. “What they are doing to our beautiful California is a disgrace to our country. It’s a shame.”

Newsom ran for governor on a range of liberal platforms, including addressing homelessness, which in Newsom's hometown of San Francisco has led to needles and feces being strewn along main business and tourist thoroughfares such as Market Street. 

The governor has pledged $1 billion from his budget to tackling homelessness, including allocating $650 million to local governments to deal with emergency homelessness aid and shelter, and $265 million for mental health support.

It's unclear how much authority a federal entity might have in trying to implement anti-homelessness measures in California. 

"If you're not doing anything illegal, authorities can't just pick you up to tell you where to go," says Steve Berg, vice president for programs and policy with the National Alliance to End Homelessness in Washington, D.C., a non-profit that works with communities to tackle homelessness.

"Having people at all levels pay attention to this issue is good," he says. "But only if you're approaching it in a solution-oriented way."

Feds can help — with money

David Garcia, policy director at the University of California, Berkeley's Terner Center for Housing Innovation, said he was skeptical about the Trump administration's aims. 

"Any strategy that focuses on removing homeless camps and displacing the homeless lacks compassion at best, and at worst exacerbates the challenges," says Garcia. "Based on this administration's rhetoric, they don't seem to be focused on really solving the homelessness crisis."

Nine months after Robert Pruitte was evicted from the Coachella encampment, a new shack he was staying at was similarly demolished. Pictured here is the third makeshift shack that he has called home since the Caltrans eviction.

Garcia notes that the administration's increasing pressure on immigrant populations within the U.S. has only added to the growing legions of homeless, as federal assistance continues to dry up and immigrants fear applying for aid.

"If the federal government is interested in helping, that's great," says Margot Kushel, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and director of the Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, a research center founded by a donation from Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and his wife Lynne.

"What they can start with is dramatically increasing their financial support for affordable housing," says Kushel.

Since Trump entered office, the White House budget has proposed slashing funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development in each year's budget. The White House's 2020 budget proposes slashing the department's funding by $9.6 billion.

Amid these cutbacks, the Trump administration has expanded grant programs for local agencies working to help individuals experiencing homelessness. The 2020 budget proposed increasing funding for services for people experiencing homelessness by 9% to $2.6 billion.

Despite widespread skepticism over the Trump administration's potential plans for homeless people in California, some officials acknowledged that the problem may well now be beyond the scope of local and even state officials.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, a Republican, has been critical of the Trump administration and said he didn’t vote for the president in 2016. But like Trump, the San Diego Mayor also says California politicians have largely failed to address the state’s homelessness crisis. In 2018,  the homeless population in San Diego dropped to 8,576 people, down by 600 people from the year before. 

Nora Soliz and David Rodriguez lived under a bridge on Golf Center Drive in Indio in 2014 after both lost their jobs.

Jay Calderon/The Desert Sun

“San Diego has taken significant action over the last few years to reduce homelessness, but cities can't do it alone," said Faulconer, who has funded shelters and storage facilities for individuals experiencing homelessness and implemented policies to curb tent encampments and people sleeping in their cars. "We welcome additional federal resources to help us move more individuals off the streets and into housing."

In nearby Palm Springs, City Councilwoman Christy Holstege said the president was likely attacking state lawmakers for political gain as the 2020 election creeps closer. 

“He’s using talking points to rally his base," said Holstege. "That’s what he’s doing here, trying to shame California about our homelessness crisis."

The number of individuals experiencing homelessness in Palm Springs has skyrocketed in recent years, growing to 196 homeless people earlier this year. On Monday, state lawmakers earmarked $10 million to be used to fund homelessness services and infrastructure in the city.

“My question to the president would be if he’s going to raze camps, then where will those people go," Holstege said. "The reason there are tent camps is because there isn’t sufficient housing."

ATV Accident Lawyer Herriman Utah

Herriman is a city in southwestern Salt Lake County, Utah, United States. The population was 21,785 as of the 2010 census. Although Herriman was a town in 2000, it has since been classified as a fifth-class city by state law. The city has experienced rapid growth since incorporation in 1999, as its population was just 1,523 at the 2000 census. It grew from being the 111th-largest incorporated place in Utah in 2000 to the 32nd-largest in 2010. Herriman was established in 1849 by Robert Dansie, Henry Harriman, and Thomas Jefferson Butterfield. A monument located in the Herriman City Cemetery lists the original four families of Herriman as the Thomas Jefferson Butterfield, John Jay Stocking, Robert Cowan Petty, and Henry Harriman families. Rosecrest is a land developer who acquired some rights in large amount acreage around Herriman, and started large scale residential development. Rosecrest is owned by parent company Sorenson Companies founded by the late James Levoy Sorenson and currently managed by his son. In 2007, Rosecrest won a lawsuit with partner land owners/developers that likely will allow about 4,000 acres to be annexed out of neighbor city Bluffdale into Herriman to further expand the Rosecrest/Herriman housing projects.

The lawsuit stemmed from a struggle between Bluffdale city officials, strict city building requirements, and Rosecrest. Herriman was the first settlement in the spring of 1851 by Henry Harriman, Thomas Butterfield and John J. Stocking. These three men built a log cabin each, fenced some land, raised a crop and called their location Butterfield Settlement. They also made a mountain road up what they called Butterfield Canyon, where they found some timber. In the fall of 1853 the settlement was strengthened by the arrival of some twenty other families. This increased the population to 71 souls. The following year a fort, enclosing 21/2 acres of ground, was built of concrete as a protection against Indians, who stole several bands of horses and cattle from the settlers. In the spring of 1853 the settlement was abandoned because of Johnston Army troubles, but was reoccupied the same year when peace was restored. Shortly afterwards the present town site was surveyed and called Herriman in honor of Henry Harriman. Since then the population has increased slowly as scarcity of water has retarded the growth of the settlement to a great extent. Leadership in Herriman settlement was first held by Henry Harriman, next Thomas Butterfield and in 1855, McGee Harris, who took charge until 1858. Alexander F. Barron served until 1861, Henry Arnold until the spring of 1866.

Ensign I Stocking for ten years until 1876. Reorganized on June 17, 1877, James Crane served until July 6, 1886 when he died. William C. Crump succeeded him until 1886, Robert Danzie in 1897, James S. Crane until June 1, 1906, Thomas Butterfield, 1916 Franklin T. Crane until Dec 31, 1930. Herriman remained a small community until 1999 when proactive citizens including Brett Wood and J. Lynn Crane went door to door asking people to sign a petition to be incorporated into a town. Rosecrest is a land developer who acquired some rights in a large area around Herriman, and started large scale residential development. Rosecrest is owned by parent company Sorenson Companies founded by the late James Levoy Sorenson and currently managed by his son. In 2007, Rosecrest won a lawsuit with partner land owners/developers that allowed about 4,000 acres (16 km2) to be annexed out of neighboring city Bluffdale into Herriman to further expand the Rosecrest/Herriman housing projects. The lawsuit stemmed from a struggle between Bluffdale city officials, strict city building requirements, and Rosecrest. The addition of Rosecrest greatly brought up Herriman’s population and enabled the town to be turned into a city. Herriman has two high schools, Herriman High School and a Mountain Ridge High School which will open 2019-2020 school years. Herriman also is home to Fort Herriman Middle School and Copper Mountain Middle School. Elementary schools include Herriman, Butterfield Canyon, Silvercrest, Blackridge, Bastian, and one additional elementary school next to Mountain View High School which will open in the 2019-2020 school year. All the public schools in Herriman are run by the Jordan School District. Herriman also is home to 4 charter schools: Providence Hall High School, Providence Hall Junior High School, Providence Hall Elementary School and Athlos Elementary. Another, Advantage Arts, is coming on 1800 South. The City of Herriman is located in the southwest portion of Salt Lake County.

A master-planned community balancing small-town appeal while aggressively pursuing economic development opportunities. The City’s high quality of life, scenic environment, and abundant community amenities has made it one of the fastest growing communities in Utah. Understanding the importance of planned growth in our City, the Mayor and Council created an Economic Development department. This department is devoted to unequaled customer service, fast-track permitting and expanding business opportunities. There are 18.60 miles from Herriman to Salt Lake City in northeast direction and 27 miles (43.45 kilometers) by car, following the I-15 N and US-89 route. Herriman and Salt Lake City are 28 minutes far apart, if you drive non-stop. This is the fastest route from Herriman, UT to Salt Lake City, UT. The halfway point is South Jordan, UT. Herriman, UT and Salt Lake City, UT are in the same time zone (MDT). Current time in both locations is 3:37 am. If you want to meet halfway between Herriman, UT and Salt Lake City, UT or just make a stop in the middle of your trip, the exact coordinates of the halfway point of this route are 40.566441 and -111.899055, or 40º 33′ 59.1876″ N, 111º 53′ 56.598″ W. This location is 13.67 miles away from Herriman, UT and Salt Lake City, UT and it would take approximately 14 minutes to reach the halfway point from both location.

Causes of ATV Accidents

The following are leading causes of injury and fatal accidents: • Driving an ATV on a paved surface. ATVs are designed for off-road use only and handle poorly on pavement. • Riding double on an ATV that isn’t designed to carry a passenger. Most ATVs are designed for only one rider. • Letting inexperienced operators ride without an experienced riding partner. • Riding without adult supervision. • Performing dangerous stunts and maneuvers. • Operating in unfamiliar areas or terrain. • Failing to observe state laws and local ordinances.

ATV Safety Tips Every Rider Should Know

Riding an ATV can be fun, but if you don’t take the proper precautions, it can also be dangerous. These ATV safety tips can help make your riding experience safe and enjoyable:

• Enroll in an ATV Safety Course: Before climbing on an All-Terrain Vehicle, complete a hands-on training course to help prepare you for both on-road and off-road situations.

The ATV Rider Course, offered by the ATV Safety Institute, offers hands-on training, instructions on protective gear, local rules and regulations, and even a list of riding sites in your area.

• Wear Protective Gear: Along with experience and skills, you need proper protective gear. Here is some required equipment: Helmet – Make sure your ATV helmet, motorcycle helmet or other motorsports helmet is certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation.

Goggles – Since many ATV trails are in wooded areas filled with branches, bugs, rocks and dirt, wear snug-fitting goggles to keep debris out of your eyes. Over-the-ankle boots – Protecting your feet and ankles requires protective footwear. Since you’ll likely be riding in muddy terrain, your boots need nubby soles for a more substantial grip. Make sure they’re not too tight, which could make a long ride very uncomfortable. Long-sleeve shirts and pants – Covering your arms and legs helps protect against abrasions and scratches. Gloves – Full-fingered gloves not only help you grip on your handles, they can protect against calluses, muscle cramps, sore joints and thumb fatigue. Look for gloves with palm padding, which helps prevent the glove from bunching up at the grip.

• Avoid Paved Roads: While some states allow ATVs on paved roads, it is actually unsafe and can increase chances of an accident. Since these vehicles are designed for off-road use, they can more easily overturn or collide with another vehicle.

• Stick to the Right Number of People: Unless your ATV is designed to carry more than one person, don’t take on a passenger. Most ATVs are single-rider vehicles and are not meant to carry additional people. Some single-rider ATVs have longer seats – not to accommodate a passenger, but to give the driver more room to shift around. Riding with a passenger increases the risk of rolling over and getting into an accident. • Inspect Prior to Riding: Inspect your ATV before every ride. Here are some key things to check for: Handlebars – Move them from side to side to make sure there are no issues with mobility or steering.

Tires – Follow the tire manufacturer’s recommendation for air pressure. And check signs of wear and tear.

Fuel and other fluids – Gas, oil, coolant and brake fluids should be full. What to do if you are involved in an ATV rollover accident • Get Medical Attention: Often, ARV accidents happen in remote places that are difficult for medical personnel to access, but try to get medical assistance as soon as possible.

• Take Pictures: Take pictures of the ATV, the scene of the accident, and any injuries you sustained as a result of the crash. Pictures and video can help an attorney investigate the cause of the accident. • Contact an Attorney: Not all ATV crashes are “accidents.” If you believe you were injured as a result of a defective design or a reckless operator, contact an attorney. Our law firm offers free consultations for potential clients. We can listen to the specifics of your incident and determine whether you have a case.

A monument located in the Herriman City Cemetery lists the original four families of Herriman as the Thomas Jefferson Butterfield, John Jay Stocking, Robert Cowan Petty, and Henry Harriman families. Rosecrest is a land developer who acquired some rights in large amount acreage around Herriman, and started large scale residential development. Rosecrest is owned by parent company Sorenson Companies founded by the late James Levoy Sorenson and currently managed by his son. In 2007, Rosecrest won a lawsuit with partner land owners/developers that likely will allow about 4,000 acres to be annexed out of neighbor city Bluffdale into Herriman to further expand the Rosecrest/Herriman housing projects.

The lawsuit stemmed from a struggle between Bluffdale city officials, strict city building requirements, and Rosecrest. Herriman was the first settlement in the spring of 1851 by Henry Harriman, Thomas Butterfield and John J. Stocking. These three men built a log cabin each, fenced some land, raised a crop and called their location Butterfield Settlement. They also made a mountain road up what they called Butterfield Canyon, where they found some timber. In the fall of 1853 the settlement was strengthened by the arrival of some twenty other families. This increased the population to 71 souls. The following year a fort, enclosing 21/2 acres of ground, was built of concrete as a protection against Indians, who stole several bands of horses and cattle from the settlers. In the spring of 1853 the settlement was abandoned because of Johnston Army troubles, but was reoccupied the same year when peace was restored. Shortly afterwards the present town site was surveyed and called Herriman in honor of Henry Harriman. Since then the population has increased slowly as scarcity of water has retarded the growth of the settlement to a great extent.

Herriman remained a small community until 1999 when proactive citizens including Brett Wood and J. Lynn Crane went door to door asking people to sign a petition to be incorporated into a town.

The lawsuit stemmed from a struggle between Bluffdale city officials, strict city building requirements, and Rosecrest. The addition of Rosecrest greatly brought up Herriman’s population and enabled the town to be turned into a city.

Unsure How Your Accident Will Affect You?

If you have been hurt in an accident, it’s normal to suffer pain and financial difficulties. You wish your life would just return to the way it was before you were injured. Dealing with pushy insurance companies with their puzzling policies can be both stressful and dispiriting to deal with.

Did you know that without an attorney by your side, you risk getting a settlement 3X smaller for your accident than you would if you had legal representation?

Their efforts make it virtually impossible for you to get fair compensation without the expertise of a skilled personal injury lawyer.

Causes of ATV Accidents

The following are leading causes of injury and fatal accidents: • Driving an ATV on a paved surface. ATVs are designed for off-road use only and handle poorly on pavement. • Riding double on an ATV that isn’t designed to carry a passenger. Most ATVs are designed for only one rider. • Letting inexperienced operators ride without an experienced riding partner. • Riding without adult supervision. • Performing dangerous stunts and maneuvers. • Operating in unfamiliar areas or terrain. • Failing to observe state laws and local ordinances.

ATV Safety Tips Every Rider Should Know

Riding an ATV can be fun, but if you don’t take the proper precautions, it can also be dangerous. These ATV safety tips can help make your riding experience safe and enjoyable:

• Enroll in an ATV Safety Course: Before climbing on an All-Terrain Vehicle, complete a hands-on training course to help prepare you for both on-road and off-road situations.

The ATV Rider Course, offered by the ATV Safety Institute, offers hands-on training, instructions on protective gear, local rules and regulations, and even a list of riding sites in your area.

• Wear Protective Gear: Along with experience and skills, you need proper protective gear. Here is some required equipment: Helmet – Make sure your ATV helmet, motorcycle helmet or other motorsports helmet is certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation.

Goggles – Since many ATV trails are in wooded areas filled with branches, bugs, rocks and dirt, wear snug-fitting goggles to keep debris out of your eyes. Over-the-ankle boots – Protecting your feet and ankles requires protective footwear. Since you’ll likely be riding in muddy terrain, your boots need nubby soles for a more substantial grip. Make sure they’re not too tight, which could make a long ride very uncomfortable. Long-sleeve shirts and pants – Covering your arms and legs helps protect against abrasions and scratches. Gloves – Full-fingered gloves not only help you grip on your handles, they can protect against calluses, muscle cramps, sore joints and thumb fatigue. Look for gloves with palm padding, which helps prevent the glove from bunching up at the grip.

• Avoid Paved Roads: While some states allow ATVs on paved roads, it is actually unsafe and can increase chances of an accident. Since these vehicles are designed for off-road use, they can more easily overturn or collide with another vehicle.

• Stick to the Right Number of People: Unless your ATV is designed to carry more than one person, don’t take on a passenger. Most ATVs are single-rider vehicles and are not meant to carry additional people. Some single-rider ATVs have longer seats – not to accommodate a passenger, but to give the driver more room to shift around. Riding with a passenger increases the risk of rolling over and getting into an accident. • Inspect Prior to Riding: Inspect your ATV before every ride. Here are some key things to check for: Handlebars – Move them from side to side to make sure there are no issues with mobility or steering.

Tires – Follow the tire manufacturer’s recommendation for air pressure. And check signs of wear and tear.

Fuel and other fluids – Gas, oil, coolant and brake fluids should be full. What to do if you are involved in an ATV rollover accident • Get Medical Attention: Often, ARV accidents happen in remote places that are difficult for medical personnel to access, but try to get medical assistance as soon as possible.

• Take Pictures: Take pictures of the ATV, the scene of the accident, and any injuries you sustained as a result of the crash. Pictures and video can help an attorney investigate the cause of the accident. • Contact an Attorney: Not all ATV crashes are “accidents.” If you believe you were injured as a result of a defective design or a reckless operator, contact an attorney. Our law firm offers free consultations for potential clients. We can listen to the specifics of your incident and determine whether you have a case.

ATV Accident Lawyer Herriman Utah

Herriman is a city in southwestern Salt Lake County, Utah, United States. The population was 21,785 as of the 2010 census. Although Herriman was a town in 2000, it has since been classified as a fifth-class city by state law. The city has experienced rapid growth since incorporation in 1999, as its population was just 1,523 at the 2000 census. It grew from being the 111th-largest incorporated place in Utah in 2000 to the 32nd-largest in 2010. Herriman was established in 1849 by Robert Dansie, Henry Harriman, and Thomas Jefferson Butterfield.

Causes of ATV Accidents

The following are leading causes of injury and fatal accidents: • Driving an ATV on a paved surface. ATVs are designed for off-road use only and handle poorly on pavement. • Riding double on an ATV that isn’t designed to carry a passenger. Most ATVs are designed for only one rider. • Letting inexperienced operators ride without an experienced riding partner. • Riding without adult supervision. • Performing dangerous stunts and maneuvers. • Operating in unfamiliar areas or terrain. • Failing to observe state laws and local ordinances.

ATV Safety Tips Every Rider Should Know

Riding an ATV can be fun, but if you don’t take the proper precautions, it can also be dangerous. These ATV safety tips can help make your riding experience safe and enjoyable:

• Enroll in an ATV Safety Course: Before climbing on an All-Terrain Vehicle, complete a hands-on training course to help prepare you for both on-road and off-road situations.

The ATV Rider Course, offered by the ATV Safety Institute, offers hands-on training, instructions on protective gear, local rules and regulations, and even a list of riding sites in your area.

• Wear Protective Gear: Along with experience and skills, you need proper protective gear. Here is some required equipment: Helmet – Make sure your ATV helmet, motorcycle helmet or other motorsports helmet is certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation.

Goggles – Since many ATV trails are in wooded areas filled with branches, bugs, rocks and dirt, wear snug-fitting goggles to keep debris out of your eyes. Over-the-ankle boots – Protecting your feet and ankles requires protective footwear. Since you’ll likely be riding in muddy terrain, your boots need nubby soles for a more substantial grip. Make sure they’re not too tight, which could make a long ride very uncomfortable. Long-sleeve shirts and pants – Covering your arms and legs helps protect against abrasions and scratches. Gloves – Full-fingered gloves not only help you grip on your handles, they can protect against calluses, muscle cramps, sore joints and thumb fatigue. Look for gloves with palm padding, which helps prevent the glove from bunching up at the grip.

• Avoid Paved Roads: While some states allow ATVs on paved roads, it is actually unsafe and can increase chances of an accident. Since these vehicles are designed for off-road use, they can more easily overturn or collide with another vehicle.

• Stick to the Right Number of People: Unless your ATV is designed to carry more than one person, don’t take on a passenger. Most ATVs are single-rider vehicles and are not meant to carry additional people. Some single-rider ATVs have longer seats – not to accommodate a passenger, but to give the driver more room to shift around. Riding with a passenger increases the risk of rolling over and getting into an accident. • Inspect Prior to Riding: Inspect your ATV before every ride. Here are some key things to check for: Handlebars – Move them from side to side to make sure there are no issues with mobility or steering.

Tires – Follow the tire manufacturer’s recommendation for air pressure. And check signs of wear and tear.

Fuel and other fluids – Gas, oil, coolant and brake fluids should be full. What to do if you are involved in an ATV rollover accident • Get Medical Attention: Often, ARV accidents happen in remote places that are difficult for medical personnel to access, but try to get medical assistance as soon as possible.

• Take Pictures: Take pictures of the ATV, the scene of the accident, and any injuries you sustained as a result of the crash. Pictures and video can help an attorney investigate the cause of the accident. • Contact an Attorney: Not all ATV crashes are “accidents.” If you believe you were injured as a result of a defective design or a reckless operator, contact an attorney. Our law firm offers free consultations for potential clients. We can listen to the specifics of your incident and determine whether you have a case.
