"So my craft is something that I call the contemplative process of candle making. The process of getting here or the route to getting to this place is a bit long and winded so I'll try to make it as brief as possible. I was an artsy kid, I was born in the bustling metropolis of Danville, Virginia. That's a huge laugh line for your listeners. It's not a bustling metropolis, but it's Southern Virginia right on the North Carolina border, and had a wonderful childhood. However, there wasn't an affirming environment for an artsy kind of kid growing up in rural Virginia in the south. So I kind of left those longings except for music and those desires kind of along the way as I grew older and couldn't imagine a life for myself as an artist or as a maker. But still had this longing. I would literally be driving in my car as an adult and I would look at my hands and say, I'm supposed to be doing something with my hands. I would have just kind of this inner knowing and you know, I used to play piano for churches, I used to draw and make paintings and do all kinds of artsy stuff, but just got older and just got farther and farther away from that. Long story short, about six years ago, I was in a department store and the candle section is always the first section that I go to because candles have been a part of my content. My writing process, my meditation process, my unwinding process for as long as I can remember. So went to the candle section picked up a candle and I don't tell everyone this because some folks may turn their heads a little bit. But I literally heard a voice that said, you can make this, and making a candle was nowhere on my radar. But as clear as I can hear my voice, I heard that voice and I went home like a madman and got on Google and "googled" -- how to make a candle. And, you know, watch tons of videos, I went to Barnes and Noble and scrounged around for books and got a few candle making supplies and ordered some things online and made some things for myself and friends and family and said, hey, you know, what do you think about this, and didn't know what I was going to do with it, but knew that I wanted to be a maker and knew that I wanted to do something with my hands. So just it was just itching to come out of me.," said Kendal Brown, owner and founder of 228 Grant Street Candle Co.Kendal was continually searching for something to do with his hands and stumbled upon the craft of candlemaking. His studio and storefront are in the heart of Baltimore off of 228 Grant Street. The scents within his collection remind him of memories with his grandmother, she was quite the baker and canner. There was always something on the stove or in the freezer that could be magically put together for sustaining nourishment at his grandmother's. Her front porch served as a neighborhood therapy office. Candlemaking was quite the fit for Kendal with his upbringing in mind.Tune in to learn more about Kendal's journey building 228 Grant Street Candle Co. You can learn more about his business by heading over to their website and visiting their Facebook and Instagram.Also, tune in to the end to listen to Deanna Bogart, the featured musician of the episode.

Tonight we are taking the train back to true-crimeville. Unsolved as per the usual, the case, or cases if you will, also has a crazy connection to one of our own here in the midnight train family. First we are going to talk about the Springfield 3. The Springfield 3 is an unsolved missing persons case that began on June 7, 1992, when friends Suzanne "Suzie" Streeter and Stacy McCall, and Streeter's mother, Sherrill Levitt, went missing from Levitt's home in Springfield, Missouri. Then we are going to roll into a talk about a giant hunk of shit named Larry Dewayne Hall. And in our discussion of Mr. Hall we shall get to the personal connection to us at the train! So without further ado… Let's get into today's episode!   29 years ago Suzie Streeter, 19, her mother Sherill Levitt, 47, and her friend Stacy McCall, 18 disappeared without a trace from their central Springfield home. Authorities have gathered many theories to explain what could have happened. Some people have even gone as far as blaming alien abduction and the rapture. Can't we go a single unsolved true crime episode without an alien abduction theory?    Anyways, the day before the three went missing, the two girls were celebrating. They had graduated from highschool that day and were planning on going to a friend's house for a party later that day. The two initially intended to head to their friend Janelle Kirby's house, but it was too crowded, and instead, they went back to the home Streeter shared with her mother, Sherrill Levitt. The next day the girls were supposed to meet up with Kirby and her boyfriend to go to a water park. They did not show up at Kirby's house so Kirby and her boyfriend went to the girl's house to see what was going on. They assumed the girls had just overslept.  When they got to the house the girls were not there and there was no sign of the mother either. When they arrived at the home, Kirby found the front door unlocked and entered the house to find it empty despite the women's cars still being outside. The family dog, however, was present and was described as agitated. Kirby also noticed that the porch light was smashed and there was glass everywhere. She decided to go ahead and clean up and unfortunately, not realizing it, may have destroyed some evidence while cleaning the mess. Kirby and her boyfriend started to look around the house and the phone rang. Kirby answered the phone call and said that the call was full of "sexual innuendo". She hung up and then another call came through and it was basically the same as the first. A few hours later, McCall's mother arrived at the property after she failed to reach her daughter on the phone. She noted Suzie's clothes, purse and cigarettes were still in the house and decided to call the police. While doing so, she noticed there was a message on the answering machine. Listening to it, she later described it as "strange" but inadvertently deleted it. Police believe the message may have contained evidence and it was unconnected to the sexual calls made when Kirby was present, which are largely dismissed as a prank.    It was now 16 hours since the two girls had been confirmed to have been seen. The mother had been last heard from at 11:15 the night before when she had called a friend of hers. When Kirby first accessed the property at 9 a.m., more and more friends and relatives came looking for their loved ones, with up to 20 people walking through the house. The crime scene became utterly compromised, and, needing a warrant, police were unable to enter until June 8. By June 9, they had called the FBI.    "The only thing unusual about this house was that three women were missing from it," retired Springfield Police Capt. Tony Glenn told News-Leader in 2006. "You had this feeling as you looked around that something was missing, that something had to be missing. But there wasn't. Just them."   Regardless, there was very little evidence at the property, with no signs of a struggle or blood present. All three women owned a car, and all three vehicles were still present; Levitt's blue Corsica was in the carport, Streeter's red Ford Escort and McCall's Toyota Corolla were in the circle drive. The keys were all in the house. Their purses were at the bottom of the stairs, and an inviting graduation cake was waiting in the fridge.   Meanwhile, Levitt's bed had been slept in, and her book was even turned over on the nightstand, ready to be resumed. The two young women had also certainly gotten prepared for bed, washing their make-up off and leaving their jewelry by the basin. McCall left her shorts and placed them by Streeter's waterbed, and given that no other clothing appeared to be missing, she is likely to have vanished in just a t-shirt and underpants. The only sign of any disturbance at all was the shattered porch light. The possibility exists that the light was deliberately broken to draw Levitt, Streeter and McCall out of the house just after the two young women arrived home, or another deception was used to the same effect, yet that can only be speculation.   Thousands of posters went up throughout Springfield. Police logged 5,200 tips in the case and gave polygraphs to numerous people. They searched woods and fields throughout the Ozark area and made inquiries in 21 states. All to little avail.   One potential piece of evidence was a letter left at a News-Leader rack at Smitty's. The letter had a drawing of the Bolivar Road Apartments with the phrase "use Ruse of Gas Man checking for Leak" written on. What it may have meant is unknown.   An image of a transient man in the area was distributed, as was a photo of a retouched dodge van seen by the home on June 7. The van is seemingly crucial to the case as an eyewitness claims to have seen Streeter driving a green Dodge later in the day on June 7 and, apparently under duress, a male voice telling her not to do anything stupid. Another witness reported seeing the van with a blonde female driver at a local grocery store and was suspicious enough to write down the license plate on a newspaper. Unfortunately, he threw the newspaper away before contacting authorities.   The hunt for the three women was relentless, with police logging 1,632 hours of overtime on the case over ten days, theorizing the transient might have been involved or the answer lay in the background of Sherrill Levitt.   A new lead appeared on June 24 when a waitress came forward to say the three missing women had been at George's Steakhouse between 1 a.m., and 3 a.m., with earlier evidence on the timing of the younger women's movements suggesting this is likely to have been near the end of that window. The witness said Streeter appeared to be drunk, and her mother tried to calm her. The sighting has never been confirmed.   Going nowhere, the investigation was featured on the Dec. 31 edition of "America's Most Wanted" and produced 29 calls. One stood out above the others when a caller claimed he had information about the three disappearances. However, attempts to link the caller with investigators failed, as he became spooked and hung up. Police appealed for him to get in touch again, but he never did, and his identity remains a mystery.   Another program, "48 Hours," shadowed police for weeks as they investigated the case, showing pictures from the search and officers sifting through the many leads. Nothing led to a workable angle, and the case went cold. Five years later, Springfield police announced it could no longer justify the money spent on the matter, officially shutting the case down.   Ok so that's fucking odd… Three women just disappeared. No signs of a struggle… No robbery… No blood.. everything left in place. Maybe it was aliens!   No you may be asking yourself...but guys… There's gotta be a suspect or something, well we found a couple.   Here's what we found:   Gerald Carnahan: A businessman, he was convicted in the 1985 killing of Jackie Johns 25 years after it happened. He has ties to Springfield and a long history of legal troubles including: Jan. 13, 1994, second-degree burglary of a business, two-year prison sentence;   -- Jan. 13, 1994, stealing from that business, four-year prison sentence;   -- Jan. 13, 1994, arson at that business, three-year prison sentence;   -- Jan. 10, 1994, attempted kidnapping of a girl in Springfield in 1993;   -- June 1, 1994, assault of a law enforcement officer, 11 months in county jail;   -- June 1, 1994, unlawful use of a weapon, one-year prison sentence; and   -- other prison sentences for attempted kidnapping and tampering with evidence. So, he's an all around, grade A butthole   Then there's Dustin Recla, Michael Clay and Joseph Riedel: Recla is the ex-boyfriend of Streeter who told police he wanted her dead because she gave officers a statement about the men, who were charged with the felony institutional vandalism of a cemetery in February 1992. Which seems a bit excessive to want to kill someone over. Riedel is accused of breaking into a mausoleum at Springfield's Maple Park Cemetery on Feb. 21 1992 and stealing a skull and some bones. Police have said Dustin Recla sold 26 grams of gold teeth fillings from the skull at a Springfield pawn shop for $30. So, these jerks were working together, breaking into graves and stealing their gold fillings. In the early 90s.    Steven Garrison:   Garrison told police a friend had confessed to killing the three women during a drunken party. He told police information unknown to the public that led investigators to serve three search warrants at two sites in western Webster County; that info was that they would find the women's bodies and clues about their abduction and deaths. He also said a moss green van believed used to take the women would be found about 12 miles away, south of Fordland.   The property searched was the same site where in 1990 LE searched for two of three missing Springfieldians. Property owner Francis Lee Robb Sr. pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder in a case authorities said at the time they believed involve a drug deal gone awry.   Garrison was believed enough that a gag order concerning the three search warrants was issued by a judge.“…certain aspects of the information we received fit with other (private) aspects of the case,” Springfield Police Capt. Todd Whitson said. Whitson said the gag order was rare, but he could not say why it was issued,“other than to say there is such an order, and it governs the operation and everything related to the operation out here.” Added Webster County Sheriff C.E. Wells:“We can't tell you anything about it until the order's lifted.”   Garrison is serving 40 years in prison for raping, sodomizing and terrorizing a female Springfield college student in the summer of 1993.   After tracking him and several associates almost exclusively for more than a year, police have since backed off Garrison. But not all the way off. They last approached him last summer. Six months ago, investigators looked to Colorado for information on Garrison, who is in a Missouri prison.   "They've never let up on me," Garrison says.   But even with all these buttholes on the list, there is one main suspect that the police and many others like in this case, Robert Craig Cox. It's always about Cox on this fucking show…   In 1995, Cox was arrested for holding a gun on a 12-year-old girl in Decatur, Texas. He is presently serving a life sentence for that robbery and a consecutive 15-year federal sentence.    Robert Craig Cox was convicted of killing a 19-year-old Florida woman who was somehow intercepted while driving home from work at Disney World one night in 1978. Cox - who lived in Springfield the summer of 1992 - walked away from death row in 1989 after the Florida Supreme Court said the jury didn't have enough evidence to convict him.   Through the years, Cox has toyed with Springfield police - saying he knows the women are dead and that they're buried near the city. Having discovered that Cox lied about his alibi on the morning of June 7, 1992, officials are skeptical about his claims. Cox declined to be interviewed by the News-Leader, but in recent letters to the newspaper, he acknowledges police consider him a suspect and that years ago he worked as a utility locator in south-central Springfield. Get that? Remember the “gas ruse” note??   Robert Craig Cox was convicted in 1988, of first degree murder, in the 1978 beating death of Sharon Zellers, 19, an employee of Walt Disney World.  The case was weak, and Cox was not charged until eight years after the murder. Cox and his family were staying at a motel in Orlando where the victim's body was found. He had a cut on his tongue, and hair and blood samples found near the victim were compatible with his. Cox testified he bit through his tongue during a fight.   The Florida Supreme Court reversed Cox's conviction, ruling that, at best, the evidence created “only a suspicion” of guilt. The court ordered his acquittal and release from death row in1990    He was immediately taken into custody to complete a prison sentence in California for an unrelated 1985 kidnapping. Then he returned to his boyhood home of Springfield, Mo., where he came under suspicion — but was never charged — in the 1992 disappearance of the three females. Texas police also questioned him about an abduction in Plano. In 1995, Cox was arrested for holding a gun on a 12-year-old girl during a robbery in Decatur, Texas. He is serving a life sentence for that robbery and is not eligible for parole until 2025.  A couple years After being sent to prison in 1995, Cox claimed he knew what happened to the three women. Cox claimed all three had been murdered and buried, taunting that their bodies would never be found. Cox was living in Springfield at the time of the murders and didn't claim to be the killer, saying he was in church that morning as corroborated by his girlfriend.   However, that would not discount his involvement earlier in the morning, and in any case, the girlfriend later recanted her statement and said Cox asked her to lie for him. Cox said he was at his parents' home when asked where he was earlier, which was again corroborated.   Police remain uncertain as to Cox's involvement with the crimes, observing that he only ever tells them enough for them to believe he knows something but never enough to incriminate himself. Some believe Cox is merely seeking infamy through a false confession. For his part, Cox said he will reveal the truth once his mother dies, but the bodies are buried somewhere around Springfield. wow what a stand up fella. Someone kill that old lady! I'm kidding… Can we at least fake her death??   Also one more interesting tidbit. In 2007, investigators revealed they'd received a tip that the bodies were buried in the foundations of the Cox Hospital parking lot. (yay more Cox) That same year, crime reporter Kathee Baird had a corner of the parking lot scanned with ground-penetrating radar and found three anomalies. However, it remains doubtful that the site is the burial location as construction didn't begin there until September 1993, over a year after the disappearances. Equally, the tip came not from anyone connected with a burial but somebody professing psychic abilities. So there's that…   While the claims of Cox possibly have merit, there is no evidence to say for sure. Despite 50,000 tips from the public, the case remains unsolved, and with nearly 30 years having now passed, the case of the Springfield Three may never actually be resolved.   Ok so by now you may have forgotten that there is a personal connection to this case. You're kind of getting a twofer today.    Let's talk about another fine upstanding citizen, scratch that, a huge giant hunk of shit, Larry DeWayne Hall. Larry DeWayne Hall was born on December 11th 1962 in Wabash, Indiana, US. He was born 2nd of 2 children and raised by both parents. He was raised as a youngest child and had one older (by a few seconds) twin brother, Gary Hall. His father, Robert Hall, was an abusive alcoholic. His mother, a homemaker. His father abused alcohol and/or drugs. He had a speech defect. During his education he had academic, social or discipline problems, including being teased or picked on. Larry DeWayne Hall was physically and psychologically abused at some point of his life. Sound like the makings of a serial killer, what say ye passengers!   Police believe that Hall, 54, may have killed 30 to 40 women. He's confessed to rapes, murders and abductions of women all over the Midwest to reporters, book authors and police investigators. He was convicted in federal court of abducting and raping a 15-year-old Illinois girl.   But he's never been convicted of murder.   Hall is serving a life sentence in federal prison in North Carolina for the 1993 kidnapping of school girl Jessica Roach, whose ravaged body was found in a cornfield. She had been out riding her bicycle. In Hall's confession, which was read to the jury, he admitted that he raped Jessica and strangled her with a belt, the ends of which he held from behind a tree where the child was forced to sit so he wouldn't have to see her face. He was not tried for murder because the teenager's remains were mangled by a farmer's combine to the extent that a cause of death could not be determined. HOLY HELL!! That's a new and extremely disturbing one on this show, folks.  Without a cause of death, the case was transferred to federal court and Hall was charged with bringing a minor across state lines for purposes of sex.   However, in 1996, the federal Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled that Hall should be given a new trial because the trial judge erred by not allowing the testimony of a psychologist that Hall's mental condition led him to falsely confess, to please police. He was convicted again at a second trial and sentenced to life without parole.   Hall also confessed to police to killing 20-year-old Laurie Depies after abducting her in Menasha in northern Wisconsin. But he was never charged in connection with her 1992 disappearance, even though he said he killed her and scraps of paper were found in his van on which he had written “Lori” and “Fox River Mall,” where Depies worked. Authorities said they could not corroborate his confession, a legal requirement to bring murder charges.   The strange, 30-year odyssey of Larry Hall, a twin who once lived in an Indiana cemetery and wandered the Midwest in a van, involved occasionally attending Civil War re-enactments dressed as a Union soldier, and toying with police despite a low IQ of 85, according to a police report. Hall sent a letter to author Christopher H. Martin, who is from Hall's hometown of Wabash, Indiana. Martin wrote a book about Hall's alleged murderous sprees titled, “Urges: A Chronicle of Serial Killer Larry Hall.”   On page 39 of the book, Paulette Webster, 19, is listed as a victim. She was walking to a local bowling alley to meet a friend when she disappeared. Hall's letter to Martin was taunting, noting that, “If I did it, I would have put her in a river or in a field.”   Eulalia “Lolly” Chavez was found in a field near Summerfield.   Paulette's mother, Mary Webster, 68, said she and her husband William first learned about Hall when Martin visited them, around 2010. Martin had the letter from Hall, but Mary Webster declined to look at it.   Hall also confessed to a television reporter that he killed and sexually mutilated Chavez, who was known for years as the Summerfield Jane Doe until her exhumation in 2008 led to her identification. He later recanted.   St. Clair County Sheriff Rick Watson recently revived an investigation involving Hall and the murder of Chavez, which happened 31 years ago.   So where are we going with this? Well well tell you.    Larry was also a suspect in the Springfield 3 disappearances after his twin brother, who people claim looked exactly like Larry, said his brother claimed to have murdered the three women. They were in the area for a civil war reenactment at the time of the disappearances. Twin brothers that traveled around the country doing Civil War Reenactments, known serial killers. Larry claims his brother Gary was stalking one of the teens that night. There are many that believe both men were involved as it would have been hard for one man to subdue and kidnap and murder three women at once. The disappearances fit Larry's mo. And he's a giant piece of shit that's definitely capable. So that brings us full circle to the disappearance of Tricia Reitler. The following details of her disappearance we're taken from the Charley project. Org website:    Reitler was a freshman psychology major at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana in 1993. She was a good student with a high grade point average. She was last seen at approximately 8:00 p.m. on March 29, 1993.   Reitler was writing a term paper that evening, and decided to take a break. She walked to Marsh Supermarket, which was approximately half a mile from the university's campus. She purchased a soda and a magazine and left the store, intent on returning to her dormitory in Bowman Hall.   She never made it there and has never been seen or heard from again. Reitler's bloodstained jeans, shirt and shoes were discovered in a field near Seybold Pool and Center Elementary School, which is located between Marsh's Supermarket and the campus.   Investigators said six or seven unidentified people were playing basketball in the Center School playground adjacent to the pool at the time Reitler disappeared, but none of the possible witnesses have come forward with information regarding her case. Authorities believe that Reitler was taken against her will while walking back to campus. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance.   Donald W. Grenier was considered a possible suspect in Reitler's case at one time. Grenier was arrested in 1999 and charged with the abduction and molestation of a young girl from the Marion area. His home was searched for evidence connecting him to Reitler's case and the 1987 Indiana disappearance of Wendy Felton, which seemed to share common traits.   Nothing was discovered in the search and Grenier has since been cleared of involvement in both Reitler and Felton's cases. Grenier has always maintained his innocence in both cases.   Tony R. Searcy, a habitual criminal offender, has also long been considered a possible suspect in Reitler's case. He has denied all involvement and authorities have never arrested Searcy in connection with Reitler's disappearance.   Another possible suspect emerged when authorities discovered materials related to Reitler's case in a van owned by Larry DeWayne Hall several months after her 1993 disappearance. Hall resided with his parents in the 300 block of Grant Street in Wabash, Indiana at the time.   Investigators found maps, ether, photos and newspaper articles concerning Reitler inside Hall's vehicle. A photograph of him is posted with this case summary. He was arrested in December 1994 and charged with abducting Jessica Roach, a teenager whose remains were discovered in an Indiana cornfield in 1993.   Hall signed a statement confessing to Reitler's kidnapping and murder, but he later recanted and was never charged in connection with her disappearance due to a lack of evidence. Investigators searched an area of Grant County, Indiana near the Mississinewa Reservoir for Reitler's body. Hall led them to the scene, saying he'd buried her body there, but no evidence was located.   Hall is presently incarcerated in a psychiatric prison in North Carolina, serving a life sentence for Roach's kidnapping. He is still considered a suspect in Reitler's presumed abduction. He confessed to the murder of Laurie Depies, who disappeared from Wisconsin in 1988, and implied he was involved in the 1988 disappearance of Paulette Webster from Illinois. Police believe he may have killed thirty to forty women, but he hasn't been charged in any cases besides Roach's.   Reitler's case remains open and unsolved. She has never been located. Her family lived in Olmsted Township, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland, at the time she disappeared. She is the oldest of four children in a conservative Christian family. Her parents believe she is deceased.    Now you may say to yourself… Olmsted falls? That sounds awfully familiar.. Well friends that's because that's where the train station is located and where both I and Logan live. And now the crazy connection to the case and today's episode? Tricia was Grace, my wife's, babysitter!

Will is back, and not a minute too soon as this week sees a bumper episode of Balls & Whistles! We kick off this week's show with a look at the Loch Ness Marathon, which is back for the first time in two years after the pandemic forced its cancellation last year, where over 7500 runners will be taking part in the Festival of Running. For the SPFL teams, it is a similar story to previous episodes. Inverness Caledonian Thistle are still unbeaten at the top of the Championship, and Ross County are still looking for their first win in the Premiership - but are we at the point in the season where Caley Thistle fans can dream of the title and Staggies supporters should be worried? Nairn County certainly are worried after drawing 3-3 with Fort William midweek, keeping them near the bottom of the Highland League. Ronnie Sharp has a job on his hands at Station Park, as does Clachnacuddin with table toppers Fraserburgh heading to Grant Street, while Brora Rangers are putting in their final preparations for the North of Scotland Cup final. It has also been a busy week in women's football. Clach Women are gearing up for their own cup final against Sutherland in the Highlands and Islands Cup, a week after ICT Development took the league crown from them. ICT's senior squad lived up to the hype of making their Caledonian Stadium debut last time out too, beating Grampian 12-2. Kinlochshiel made history last month with their first ever Camanachd Cup victory, but can they complete the set and add a second trophy to their collection in 2021? Caberfeidh will be desperately hoping to stop them to reach the final of the MacTavish Cup themselves if they can shore up their defence. There's also just enough time for a brief rundown of Highland, Ross Sutherland and Inverness Craig Dunain Rugby Club's fixtures this weekend.

The race for mayor of the city of Pittsburgh is heating up!  He knew the city well from his earliest days but was never exposed to politics until his first day of college.  Efforts to help save an HBCU he attended paid off and sparked a passion for civic involvement. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, he didn't leave the city until he went to college to see what the world had to offer.  That journey ended with a gift for his mom: his diploma.  Now a veteran of state and city politics, Rep. Ed Gainey sets his sights on the big office on Grant Street.  Voters will decide if the man who defeated Mayor Bill Peduto in the Primary should serve as Pittsburgh's leader.   So, what did he learn and how did working in two previous administrations help mold his work ethic and build his vision for government?  Will he be able to bridge state and city politics or build relations with Harrisburg to benefit Pittsburgh?  How does he view the city's bridges and topography?  What are his thoughts on football, food, and vaccines?  I truly appreciate the time Representative Gainey set aside for me.  We had a great conversation about growing up in the 70's & 80's.  I really enjoyed meeting him face-to-face to discuss a wide range of topics including his journey.  I hope you enjoy ‘Kevin Battle Goes One-on-One With: Ed Gainey.'  Thank you!

The race for Mayor of Pittsburgh is heating up.  Tony Moreno helped innovate policing while a detective with the City of Pittsburgh Police Department.  However, he admits that he was not part of the inner circle.  How will he fill the holes in the Pittsburgh Police Command Staff caused by recent resignations and retirements?  Is nepotism a problem within the ranks? I once wrote an editorial based on criticisms of Mr. Moreno.  Many felt I was endorsing him.  They obviously were pushing their own agenda and never read my article.  I would have written the same editorial had his competitor been slandered in the same manner.  So, how does race play a role in this competition for the most powerful office on Grant Street?  Regardless, in January 2022 either be the first African-American mayor or first Hispanic mayor will be sworn in on the steps of the City/County Building in Pittsburgh.   The city is relatively affordable but what can be done  to keep it home for Pittsburghers?  Are crime rates kept high so people flee which opens areas for redevelopment?   How will he ensure the south sections of the city are not forgotten?  What is 90=1? It was a great conversation with a visionary man who loves this city and is determined to lead and listen should votes go his way in November.  I hope you enjoy ‘Kevin Battle Goes One-on-One with: Tony Moreno.'

As a kid in the suburbs he had a deep passion for the city of Pittsburgh.  That has obviously grown with time.  To Bill Peduto, The job is magical.  However, at what point did he begin to wonder if his dream as mayor was actually worth the effort and aggravation?  After all politics has changed since he entered the scene years ago.   Honestly, I was somewhat surprised yet extremely pleased that my request/invitation for an extended sit-down was accepted without hesitation.  I very much enjoyed meeting Mr. Peduto in-person to discuss a wide range of topics: his youth, family, college, goals, first car, plans after he leaves Grant Street, Afghanistan refugees, and the sister-city of Wuhan, China, among many other things.   Yes, I declared that he was the ‘Brett Keisel' of mayors due to his famous beard.  How did he take that?  And, why does the color of the beard not match the hairs on his head?  And, speaking of color: what is up with the city's vehicle fleet?  And, what was it that the Dalai Lama found so infatuating? What is ‘the spot' in Pittsburgh that truly signifies ‘home' to him?  What about the riots, the demonstrations in front of his house, or the issues with policing?  And, when did he know that the recent primary would not end favorably?  Don't worry: the vacation he has planned will more than make up for any disappointment. On a very busy afternoon, the mayor of Pittsburgh spent much more time with me than was actually allotted.  It was a great conversation.  I cannot thank him or his staff enough for opening up the schedule to me.   I hope you enjoy this episode of ‘Kevin Battle Goes One-on-One With: Mayor Bill Peduto.'  (Photo: © Mykal McEldowney/IndyStar via USA TODAY Network)

NFL Alumni Association HQ Coming to Canton ------------------------------------------ A national headquarters for the NFL Alumni Association will be built at Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village. There is a hall of fame villiage? 22 People Charged For Violating Stay at Home Order -------------------------------------------------- Violating an order from the health department is prosecuted as a second-degree misdemeanor, and records from the three municipal courts in Summit County show 22 people have had charges filed against them by local police as of Thursday. The common thread between the cases is that every person charged with violating the order also was charged with another crime. Barberton Police Public Information Officer Marty Eberhart said the majority of people who are out and about have nothing to worry about; officers are not stopping people simply to enforce the order. One man was stopped by police for leaving a grocery store with the “distinct imprint of large cans in each pocket,” according to a police report. He was found to be shoplifting and since his “sole reason for visiting Giant Eagle was to steal beer” he was charged with violating the order along with theft, the police report said. Barberton has cracked down on the most people for violating the order in Summit County, with 13 charged in Barberton Municipal Court. SEXTORTION SCAM MAKING THE ROUNDS AGAIN --------------------------------------- Several individuals have reported to the Summit County Sheriff's Office that they have been targeted with emails attempting to extort money from them. Recipients are told that spyware has monitored their computer activity and a video has been recorded of them visiting porn sites. Unless the recipient pays $2000.00 in bitcoins, the hacker will share his video with your family, friends, employer, etc. Once payment is made, the hacker promises to delete the video and go away. These so-called 'sextortion' scams are nothing more than 'phishing' expeditions whereby millions of emails are sent to random individuals in the hope that someone with a guilty conscience will panic and pay. If you receive one of these emails - DO NOT RESPOND, DO NOT PAY, DELETE. VOTING DEADLINES ---------------- Important BALLOT RETURN deadlines for the Ohio 2020 Primary : *Getting a Ballot:* In order to receive a ballot by mail for the 2020 Ohio Primary Election, your request for an absentee ballot application must be physically at the board office by NOON on Saturday, April 25th.

It's been almost ten years since LUS Fiber began rolling out what is known as the "4th Utility -Fiber to the Home (FTTH)," which gave Lafayette residents access to the gold standard of internet connectivity: high-speed fiber optic internet service. In this episode of Discover Lafayette,  Terry Huval, recently retired Director of Lafayette Utilities System, outlines the history of how the City of Lafayette invested in its future by creating Louisiana's first community-owned broadband system, LUS Fiber. The City of Lafayette and its leaders have a strong history of stepping up to provide great technological services to its residents. In fact, Lafayette Utilities Systems was proposed by city leaders after the world watched in awe as the 1893 Chicago’s World Fair was lit up by electricity; the desire for pressurized water, as well as the ability to light its towns and streets, drove the public to demand its own electrical system. By 1897, Lafayette Utilities System was operational with the opening of its Grant Street plant. The ability to offer electricity placed Lafayette in the lead position to be selected as the site for the Southwest Louisiana Industrial Institute (now UL - Lafayette) which opened its doors in 1901, and set Lafayette apart from neighboring cities as electricity attracted commerce, opportunity and growth. Jumping forward a century, Terry Huval had been with LUS for 10 years when Joey Durel was elected mayor and took office in 2004.  Terry seized upon the opportunity to pitch the idea of a community-owned broadband network to bring fiber directly to the homes of Lafayette residents.  An existing fiber ring around Lafayette had already been built in 1998 to support communication between LUS's electric substations, and by 2000, LUS worked with LEDA and the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce to establish a wholesale and governmental retail network. Businesses needing high-speed connectivity were clamoring for access to this fiber optic broadband capability to be able to stay in Lafayette and still communicate effectively with clients around the U. S. and the globe. The large, private telecommunication providers servicing Lafayette had repeatedly declined the city's offer to utilize LUS's existing fiber ring for their customers, nor to invest in upgrades to provide Fiber to the Home which was deemed cost-prohibitive given the size of this market. Durel was hesitant to see government compete with private business in the telecommunications sector, but agreed to do a feasibility study and move forward until a roadblock may prove too great to overcome. That day never came even though many hurdles had to be faced and, as they say, the rest is history. The Lafayette City-Parish Council approved a plan to request up to $125 million in funds to be financed through bonds, and the project went to the voters for approval. Non-partisan groups such as Lafayette Yes! and Lafayette Coming Together campaigned enthusiastically to support the project in the face of intense opposition from existing telecommunication providers. In July 2005, the voters of the City of Lafayette approved the plan for LUS to move forward to borrow money by issuing bonds to pay for the FTTH project by a 62 to 38% margin.  A lawsuit to stop the FTTH initiative by LUS was filed in 2006 and the Supreme Court eventually ruled in February 2007 that LUS could sell bonds to finance the fiber initiative. By February 2009, the first residents were offered cable, telephone and internet service. Stay tuned for the second part of this interview, in which details of the arduous path to building LUS Fiber's broadband service is explained in more detail by Immediate Past Parish President Joey Durel and City-Parish Attorney Pat Ottinger, and current Parish President Joel Robideaux. Special Thanks to our Sponsors:

First Lt. Marina Hierl has reportedly made history by becoming the first woman in the Marine Corps to lead an infantry platoon. The 24-year-old is one of four platoon commanders in Echo Company, a group of 175 Marines and Navy sailors who were recently sent to northern Australia, The New York Times reported Thursday. Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School on Grant Street announced the change Tuesday in a statement from elementary campus president Lara Zelski. The decision was made “in an effort to begin our day as a fully inclusive and connected community,” Zelski said. “Over the past couple of years it has become increasingly obvious that more and more of our community were choosing to not stand and/or recite the pledge.”

Radio Wolinsky 11: A conversation with the creators of The Unfortunates, playing at ACT's Strand Theater through April 10, 2016.   Jon Beavers, Ian Merrigan, Ramiz Monsef and Casey Lee Hurt, co-creators of The Unfortunates, a theatrical piece at A.C.T.'s Strand Theatre through April 10, 2016, join Richard Wolinsky for an in-depth look at the creation of this musical play, from its inception at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival through its subsequent production in San Francisco. They also discuss the themes of the piece, which revolve around anti-war concepts, triumph over adversity, and acceptance of death. Conceived by performers indebted to all kinds of music, ranging from country to rock to hip-hop to American folk melodies, the piece also owes a great debt to the world of comic books, early 1930s cartoons, and the graphic novel. A graphic novel of The Unfortunates is even available in the lobby of the Strand Theatre. This interview was recorded in a rehearsal room at ACT's headquarters on Grant Street in San Francisco. More information about The Unfortunates can be found at the ACT website. A shorter version of this interview airs on Monday, March 7th at 3 pm as part of Arts-Waves. The post The Unfortunates at A.C.T. appeared first on KPFA.

The murals in the United States Post Office and Courthouse on Grant Street are pretty hard to get to. There’s security, now, unlike when the Department of Treasury’s Section of Painting and Sculpture commissioned the three works in 1934. Two of the octogenerian paintings survive on the 8 th floor; one disappeared. That’s the thing about murals, said Sylvia Rhor, associate professor of art history at Carlow University. They’re large, but they’re not immune to time’s vagaries. They can go missing, be discarded or painted over. “Some of the styles are outdated. Some of the topics don’t seem to fit with the community, so sometimes they’re painted over for that reason. Some of them are offensive. Some of the buildings were destroyed so some murals were lost. Many murals were lost,” she said. The murals Rhor referred to were part of a vast national output in the 1930s and commissioned by a number of agencies created by the federal government, the most famous of which was the Works Progress
