This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, May 5th, 2023. Watch out for the revenge of the 5th if you’re into that… or cinco de mayo, take your pick. https://tvpworld.com/69620835/us-navy-deployed-drag-queen-influencer-to-boost-youth-recruitment As part of a recruitment drive aimed at the country’s youth, the U.S. Navy deployed a "drag queen influencer" to assist in boosting lagging numbers in the military. In November of last year Joshua Kelley aka “Harpy Daniels”, who has over 1,300,000 likes on TikTok, revealed that he was to be the Navy’s ‘Digital Ambassador’. Whilst the U.S. Navy only recently revealed about approaching Kelley, the drag queen claims to have danced in drag in front of an audience of service officers on a number of occasions, even sharing one video from 2018 on his Instagram. Kelley was part of a Digital Ambassador initiative that lasted from October 2022 to March 2023, “designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates,” a Navy spokesperson told Fox News. The spokesperson also said that the Navy is navigating “the most challenging recruiting environment it has faced since the start of the all-volunteer force.” “The Navy did not compensate YN2 Kelley or any others for being Navy Digital Ambassadors. The pilot has concluded and we are now evaluating the program and how it will exist in the future," the spokesperson added. Regarding his role as Digital Ambassador, Kelley wrote on his Instagram page: “Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity! I don't speak for the Navy but simply sharing my experience in the Navy! Hoorah, and let's go Slay!”. Not only the Navy but more broadly the U.S. military face big problems in convincing young people to join. Only 13 pct of 18-29-year-olds are “highly willing” to join the military, whilst 25 pct declared themselves “somewhat willing” and 26 pct are “not willing at all.” Gender ideology has become a hot topic in the Navy and all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. In March, a group of House Democrats proposed legislation to prevent the Department of Defense from standing in the way of transgender people who want to serve in the military. Some critics have argued that the purpose of the U.S. military is to provide security for the country, not to be a tool for gender ideology politics. Whilst others have suggested that in an unstable world, where a lot of military strategy is played out through bravado, such as with military drills, it is perhaps surprising that the U.S. would do the opposite of striking fear into their enemies. It’s a good thing we have Joshua to scare off said enemies, which ties in nicely for this next story! https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2023-05-03/second-oil-tanker-in-a-week-seized-by-iran-in-gulf-u-s-navy Iran Seizes Second Oil Tanker in a Week in Gulf -U.S. Navy Iran seized a second oil tanker in a week on Wednesday in Gulf waters, and the U.S. State Department called for its release, in the latest escalation in a series of seizures or attacks on commercial vessels in Gulf waters since 2019. The Baa-rain-based Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Navy said the Panama-flagged oil tanker Niovi was seized by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) at 6:20 a.m. (0220 GMT) while passing through the Strait of Hor-mooz. In Iran's first response, Tehran's prosecutor announced the oil tanker was seized on a judicial order following a complaint by a plaintiff, the judiciary's Mizan news agency said. No further details were provided. The incident comes after Iran on Thursday seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman called the Advantage Sweet. That tanker is being held by Iranian authorities in Bandar Abbas, the Marshall Islands flag registry said on Tuesday. Maritime security firm Ambrey has said it believed the Advantage Sweet's seizure was in response to a recent seizure via a court order by the United States of an oil cargo aboard the Marshall Islands tanker Suez Rajan. The Niovi oil tanker seized on Wednesday had been travelling from Dubai toward the UAE's Fujairah port when it was forced by IRGCN boats to change course towards Iranian territorial waters, the Navy said. The Niovi last reported its position at 0231 GMT on Wednesday off the coast of Oman in the Strait of Hormuz with the UAE as its destination, Refinitiv ship tracking data showed. According to the International Maritime Organization shipping database,, the Niovi's owner is Grand Financing Co, and the ship is managed by Greece-based Smart Tankers, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Vedant Patel, a deputy spokesperson at the U.S. State Department, told reporters the Biden administration and the "international community" call on Iran and its Navy to release the ships and their crews. "Iran's harassment of vessels and interference with navigational rights in regional and international waters are contrary to international law and disruptive to regional stability and security," Patel said. About a fifth of the world's crude oil and oil products passes through the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point between Iran and Oman, according to data from analytics firm Vortexa. Since 2019, there have been a series of attacks on shipping in the strategic Gulf waters at times of tension between the United States and Iran. Indirect talks between Tehran and Washington to revive Iran's 2015 nuclear pact with world powers have stalled since September over a range of issues, including the Islamic Republic's violent crackdown on popular protests, Tehran's sale of drones to Russia and acceleration of its nuclear program. https://justthenews.com/nation/crime/alleged-texas-killer-captured-following-manhunt Fugitive illegal alien accused of mass killing in Texas captured Authorities on Tuesday apprehended an individual suspected of killing five people in Cleveland, Texas, following a Friday evening altercation. Authorities arrested Francisco Oropesa without incident on Tuesday evening, NBC News reported, citing the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. His arrest marks an end to the manhunt that had baffled law enforcement for days. Authorities indicated earlier this week that they had "zero leads" as to his whereabouts. As of Monday, it was believed that Oropesa had slipped past a network of roadblocks in the Cleveland area, despite extensive efforts by law enforcement to contain him within a set perimeter. During the manhunt, reports emerged that the fugitive had been deported four times, twice in 2009, and again in 2012 and 2016. The manhunt ensued following Oropesa's alleged killing of five of his neighbors after reportedly being asked to stop shooting his firearm. Authorities indicated that four adults were found dead at the scene while one child died at the hospital later. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-05-03/gun-rights-advocates-renew-legal-fight-over-californias-10-day-wait-on-firearm-purchases Gun rights advocates renew legal fight over California’s 10-day wait for firearm buyers Renewing a legal battle that some had considered settled, gun rights advocates filed a federal lawsuit this week challenging a California law that places a 10-day waiting period on most firearm purchases. The law, which requires people to wait the prescribed “cooling off” period even if they’ve passed a more immediate background check, is aimed in part at deterring people from rushing to harm themselves or others with newly purchased weapons during periods of sudden distress or anger. Gun control advocates and state officials say the law reduces gun violence, including suicides, and the law has been upheld in the face of legal challenges before — including by the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 2018 declined to hear an appeal to a lower court decision upholding it. However, things have changed since the high court ruled last year — in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. vs. Bruen — that restrictions on firearms violate the 2nd Amendment if they aren’t deeply rooted in the nation’s history or analogous to some historical rule. According to the San Diego gun owners and advocacy groups suing the state, the high court’s 2018 decision allowing the waiting period law to stand was “abrogated,” or undone, by its more recent Bruen decision, and, therefore, the law is unconstitutional under the court’s newer historical standard. The plaintiffs argue enforcement of the law “prevents law-abiding people from taking possession of lawfully acquired firearms for immediate self-defense and other lawful purposes — even after [state officials] know the individual is eligible to exercise their fundamental, constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.” The office of California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said it was reviewing the lawsuit Tuesday but could not otherwise comment. Bonta is the lead defendant in the lawsuit. According to legal experts, the revived challenge reflects how massively the legal landscape around gun laws has changed since President Trump shifted the Supreme Court to the right and the court issued its Bruen decision. It also reflects the increased confidence among gun rights advocates that the high court is ready and willing to overturn more gun laws, the experts said — even those it may have allowed to stand in the past. Jake Charles, an associate professor at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law and an expert in firearms law, said he was “surprised it took until May of this year” for the waiting period law to be challenged again under Bruen — in part because it is obviously vulnerable. Prior to Bruen, federal courts across the country judged gun laws not only through a historical lens, but by assessing whether they served a well-reasoned purpose of modern government. When the California-based U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld California’s 10-day waiting period law in 2016, it did so based on such a review. Writing for the court, Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder found that the 10-day waiting period was “a reasonable safety precaution,” and therefore constitutional. Now, however, Bruen has changed the relevant legal analysis and Schroeder’s reasoning is now irrelevant, the plaintiffs argue. The law rvive, they argue, because waiting period laws were not enacted in the country until 1923 — making them too recent to be considered part of the nation’s tradition under Bruen. Gun law experts said it’s a strong argument. Attorneys for California may still argue the law is similar enough to some historical law that didn’t institute a waiting period for purchased weapons but restricted the purchase of them in some other way. The state has already argued that other modern gun laws being challenged — including its bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines — are similar enough to other historical laws to survive Bruen’s test, even if they aren’t exactly the same.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Friday, May 5th, 2023. Watch out for the revenge of the 5th if you’re into that… or cinco de mayo, take your pick. https://tvpworld.com/69620835/us-navy-deployed-drag-queen-influencer-to-boost-youth-recruitment As part of a recruitment drive aimed at the country’s youth, the U.S. Navy deployed a "drag queen influencer" to assist in boosting lagging numbers in the military. In November of last year Joshua Kelley aka “Harpy Daniels”, who has over 1,300,000 likes on TikTok, revealed that he was to be the Navy’s ‘Digital Ambassador’. Whilst the U.S. Navy only recently revealed about approaching Kelley, the drag queen claims to have danced in drag in front of an audience of service officers on a number of occasions, even sharing one video from 2018 on his Instagram. Kelley was part of a Digital Ambassador initiative that lasted from October 2022 to March 2023, “designed to explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates,” a Navy spokesperson told Fox News. The spokesperson also said that the Navy is navigating “the most challenging recruiting environment it has faced since the start of the all-volunteer force.” “The Navy did not compensate YN2 Kelley or any others for being Navy Digital Ambassadors. The pilot has concluded and we are now evaluating the program and how it will exist in the future," the spokesperson added. Regarding his role as Digital Ambassador, Kelley wrote on his Instagram page: “Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity! I don't speak for the Navy but simply sharing my experience in the Navy! Hoorah, and let's go Slay!”. Not only the Navy but more broadly the U.S. military face big problems in convincing young people to join. Only 13 pct of 18-29-year-olds are “highly willing” to join the military, whilst 25 pct declared themselves “somewhat willing” and 26 pct are “not willing at all.” Gender ideology has become a hot topic in the Navy and all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. In March, a group of House Democrats proposed legislation to prevent the Department of Defense from standing in the way of transgender people who want to serve in the military. Some critics have argued that the purpose of the U.S. military is to provide security for the country, not to be a tool for gender ideology politics. Whilst others have suggested that in an unstable world, where a lot of military strategy is played out through bravado, such as with military drills, it is perhaps surprising that the U.S. would do the opposite of striking fear into their enemies. It’s a good thing we have Joshua to scare off said enemies, which ties in nicely for this next story! https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2023-05-03/second-oil-tanker-in-a-week-seized-by-iran-in-gulf-u-s-navy Iran Seizes Second Oil Tanker in a Week in Gulf -U.S. Navy Iran seized a second oil tanker in a week on Wednesday in Gulf waters, and the U.S. State Department called for its release, in the latest escalation in a series of seizures or attacks on commercial vessels in Gulf waters since 2019. The Baa-rain-based Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Navy said the Panama-flagged oil tanker Niovi was seized by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) at 6:20 a.m. (0220 GMT) while passing through the Strait of Hor-mooz. In Iran's first response, Tehran's prosecutor announced the oil tanker was seized on a judicial order following a complaint by a plaintiff, the judiciary's Mizan news agency said. No further details were provided. The incident comes after Iran on Thursday seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman called the Advantage Sweet. That tanker is being held by Iranian authorities in Bandar Abbas, the Marshall Islands flag registry said on Tuesday. Maritime security firm Ambrey has said it believed the Advantage Sweet's seizure was in response to a recent seizure via a court order by the United States of an oil cargo aboard the Marshall Islands tanker Suez Rajan. The Niovi oil tanker seized on Wednesday had been travelling from Dubai toward the UAE's Fujairah port when it was forced by IRGCN boats to change course towards Iranian territorial waters, the Navy said. The Niovi last reported its position at 0231 GMT on Wednesday off the coast of Oman in the Strait of Hormuz with the UAE as its destination, Refinitiv ship tracking data showed. According to the International Maritime Organization shipping database,, the Niovi's owner is Grand Financing Co, and the ship is managed by Greece-based Smart Tankers, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Vedant Patel, a deputy spokesperson at the U.S. State Department, told reporters the Biden administration and the "international community" call on Iran and its Navy to release the ships and their crews. "Iran's harassment of vessels and interference with navigational rights in regional and international waters are contrary to international law and disruptive to regional stability and security," Patel said. About a fifth of the world's crude oil and oil products passes through the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point between Iran and Oman, according to data from analytics firm Vortexa. Since 2019, there have been a series of attacks on shipping in the strategic Gulf waters at times of tension between the United States and Iran. Indirect talks between Tehran and Washington to revive Iran's 2015 nuclear pact with world powers have stalled since September over a range of issues, including the Islamic Republic's violent crackdown on popular protests, Tehran's sale of drones to Russia and acceleration of its nuclear program. https://justthenews.com/nation/crime/alleged-texas-killer-captured-following-manhunt Fugitive illegal alien accused of mass killing in Texas captured Authorities on Tuesday apprehended an individual suspected of killing five people in Cleveland, Texas, following a Friday evening altercation. Authorities arrested Francisco Oropesa without incident on Tuesday evening, NBC News reported, citing the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. His arrest marks an end to the manhunt that had baffled law enforcement for days. Authorities indicated earlier this week that they had "zero leads" as to his whereabouts. As of Monday, it was believed that Oropesa had slipped past a network of roadblocks in the Cleveland area, despite extensive efforts by law enforcement to contain him within a set perimeter. During the manhunt, reports emerged that the fugitive had been deported four times, twice in 2009, and again in 2012 and 2016. The manhunt ensued following Oropesa's alleged killing of five of his neighbors after reportedly being asked to stop shooting his firearm. Authorities indicated that four adults were found dead at the scene while one child died at the hospital later. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-05-03/gun-rights-advocates-renew-legal-fight-over-californias-10-day-wait-on-firearm-purchases Gun rights advocates renew legal fight over California’s 10-day wait for firearm buyers Renewing a legal battle that some had considered settled, gun rights advocates filed a federal lawsuit this week challenging a California law that places a 10-day waiting period on most firearm purchases. The law, which requires people to wait the prescribed “cooling off” period even if they’ve passed a more immediate background check, is aimed in part at deterring people from rushing to harm themselves or others with newly purchased weapons during periods of sudden distress or anger. Gun control advocates and state officials say the law reduces gun violence, including suicides, and the law has been upheld in the face of legal challenges before — including by the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 2018 declined to hear an appeal to a lower court decision upholding it. However, things have changed since the high court ruled last year — in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. vs. Bruen — that restrictions on firearms violate the 2nd Amendment if they aren’t deeply rooted in the nation’s history or analogous to some historical rule. According to the San Diego gun owners and advocacy groups suing the state, the high court’s 2018 decision allowing the waiting period law to stand was “abrogated,” or undone, by its more recent Bruen decision, and, therefore, the law is unconstitutional under the court’s newer historical standard. The plaintiffs argue enforcement of the law “prevents law-abiding people from taking possession of lawfully acquired firearms for immediate self-defense and other lawful purposes — even after [state officials] know the individual is eligible to exercise their fundamental, constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.” The office of California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said it was reviewing the lawsuit Tuesday but could not otherwise comment. Bonta is the lead defendant in the lawsuit. According to legal experts, the revived challenge reflects how massively the legal landscape around gun laws has changed since President Trump shifted the Supreme Court to the right and the court issued its Bruen decision. It also reflects the increased confidence among gun rights advocates that the high court is ready and willing to overturn more gun laws, the experts said — even those it may have allowed to stand in the past. Jake Charles, an associate professor at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law and an expert in firearms law, said he was “surprised it took until May of this year” for the waiting period law to be challenged again under Bruen — in part because it is obviously vulnerable. Prior to Bruen, federal courts across the country judged gun laws not only through a historical lens, but by assessing whether they served a well-reasoned purpose of modern government. When the California-based U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld California’s 10-day waiting period law in 2016, it did so based on such a review. Writing for the court, Circuit Judge Mary Schroeder found that the 10-day waiting period was “a reasonable safety precaution,” and therefore constitutional. Now, however, Bruen has changed the relevant legal analysis and Schroeder’s reasoning is now irrelevant, the plaintiffs argue. The law rvive, they argue, because waiting period laws were not enacted in the country until 1923 — making them too recent to be considered part of the nation’s tradition under Bruen. Gun law experts said it’s a strong argument. Attorneys for California may still argue the law is similar enough to some historical law that didn’t institute a waiting period for purchased weapons but restricted the purchase of them in some other way. The state has already argued that other modern gun laws being challenged — including its bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines — are similar enough to other historical laws to survive Bruen’s test, even if they aren’t exactly the same.

In part 2 of this series, Sgt. Celestina Rossi and Det. Fadi Rizk shares their thoughts about the pain that must have been felt by the family of Lesia Jackson and the guilt they must have felt for leaving the swimming pool during the argument causing her death.It is often said that forgiveness is the key to unlocking inner peace and healing. It is a powerful emotion and a difficult process to go through. When a tragedy occurs, such as the murder of a family member, it can be difficult to forgive and move on. It can be even more difficult when the family believes that the perpetrator has escaped justice for years. This was the case for the family of Lesia, who was murdered 43 years ago.The family of Lesia had two brothers who were at the swimming pool when the tragedy occurred. It is believed that they had an argument with Lesia and left, leaving her alone. For 43 years, they have carried the guilt of not being there to protect her, and have not done any interviews since. It is understandable why they would feel so much guilt and remorse, and why they would not want to speak about it as it was a painful reminder of the tragedy that happened.The family had gone through the process of forgiving and moving on, but the news of the real perpetrator being found brought back all their pain and guilt. Forgiveness is an important part of healing and moving on, but it is not an easy process. It takes time, and it is often difficult to forgive when it feels like justice has not been served.Sgt.

There's also a lot happening in the future, so you won't want to miss this episode. Things going on today actually start about 30 minutes from this episode's release, so tune in and listen now!  Transcript:   Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm Arch Grieve and I'm your host, and today's episode is the weekly news roundup for Friday, May 20th, 2022. A lot happened recently, including stories about an uptick in Covid cases, an EPA report about our local waterways, and new inductees into the Dayton Walk of Fame. You won't want to miss it as there's a lot happening today, including in about 30 minutes from this episode's release, so tune in now!   To start off this week's news I'd like to say Happy National Bike to Work Day! If you're listening to this before 7:00-9:00am you still have time to make it to the Five River MetroParks Bike to Work Day celebration, which is happening this morning. The first 500 riders to register and check in at the event receive a gift, and you can pre-register now online at MetroParks.org. The event takes place from 7:00-9:00am at the RiverScape Metro Park on Monument Ave. and features a free pancake breakfast, live music, a bike expo, and more, so hopefully I'll see you there!   Well in a reminder that Covid-19 is still unfortunately with us, Coronavirus cases in Ohio have been going up steadily for the past 6 weeks in a row, with weekly cases being over 15,000, as reported about a week and a half ago. That's up a lot from where they were at the beginning of April, when the state averaged a little over 3,500 cases per week. According to the Ohio Department of Health, over 7 million Ohioans have gotten at least one shot, but only 3.56 million have received two shots and a booster.    If you remember a while back me talking about Dayton Public Schools possibly reopening the World of Wonder school to serve students who are learning English as a second language, well that plan is now official after school board members voted unanimously to do so this past Tuesday. The school will be open to students in grades K-6 who live in Residence Park, but also open up to 12th grade for English language learners. Superintendent Lolli explained that the school will have separate English-native and English-learner classes, but that those will be combined during lunch, recess, and possibly classes like art and extracurriculars.    Also in DPS news, if you're interested in mentoring a Dayton Public School student, DPS is starting the Transform Career Mentoring Program, which will match about 100 high school students with local mentors. Mentors will be matched with 10th and 11th graders to help them with decisions on things like colleges and careers and mentors and mentees are expected to connect for a minimum of five minutes per week.    The locally-organized TEDxDayton event will be taking place on October 14th, which is a ways out, but more pressingly they are now accepting applications for speakers. TED is a nonprofit dedicated to spreading ideas, and TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. So, if you're interested in being a TEDx speaker, you can apply at tedxdayton.com. Applying is no guarantee to speak, and I would know because I've applied and not made it in the past, but a volunteer-run committee will review your application if you apply and then may invite you to audition. If selected, they'll work with you to prepare to tell your story, so maybe give it a shot!   The Ohio EPA recently released a report about our local waterways that said that they're about as healthy as they were two years ago, although that's not necessarily a great thing. The report is required by the Clean Water Act to be released every two years, and in it they explained that in terms of local waterways, the stretch of the Great Miami from Tawawa Creek in Sidney to where Mad River joins it in Dayton is classified as “not impaired,” but that from Dayton to where it enters the Ohio River it is impaired by polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCB, a toxic industrial chemical that does not go away easily. The Mad River and Little Miami are also considered impaired by PCBs, although the Stillwater is not. In good news, one section of the Little Miami is being delisted because it meets a different set of cleanliness goals, so it's not all bad news at least completely.    A local Dayton couple is suing rapper Travis Scott after they allege that his Astroworld musical festival last fall resulted in the death of their unborn child, as well as 10 people who also died. The couple, Shanazia Williamson and Jarawd Owens, filed suit against Scott, the festival organizers, and the security companies that were hired, and are seeking over $1 million in damages. They explain in their suit that Williamson was trampled and crushed during the event, which resulted in her unborn child's death. So far, over 700 other concert-goers have filed suit as well, and Rolling Stone reports that nearly 5,000 people suffered some type of injury. Scott denies responsibility and has performed this month for the first time since the tragedy, which also resulted in the death of a UD student, Franco Patino, of Illinois. His family is also filing suit against the rapper.     There were protestors at the Ohio Statehouse on Saturday protesting against the likely adoption of abortion bans by the Ohio state legislature. Those protests were joined by others, including in Xenia and one here in Dayton at the Courthouse Square, where hundreds gathered to protest against abortion bans. In the wake of the leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, many states such as Ohio are considering banning abortion, and in Ohio the bills that seek to do just that are Senate Bill 123 and House Bill 598. Ohio's version of the abortion ban, if it passes, which seems likely, will outlaw abortion except in cases where the mother's life is in danger or to prevent irreversible bodily impairment of the pregnant person, but no exceptions in the case of rape or incest.    Well it will be at least another year until marijuana is legalized in Ohio fully as state officials recently settled a case with the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, who had been pushing to have their signatures accepted on this year's ballot for voters to weigh in on. In exchange for delaying until 2023, the coalition will not have to re-collect signatures again for next year and the state will accept the over 140,000 signatures they've already collected.    The Carillon Historical Park here in Dayton has some new exhibits you might want to check out now. There is now a new industrial block of buildings on the grounds where you can see an expanded print shop, a new demonstration foundry, a soap shop, and a landscaped plaza where Carillon will hold programs for children. The Gem City Letterpress Company was the first hands-on experience the museum offered to visitors back in 1988, but it's now expanded and will be joined by the new Rubicon Foundry and Air City Soap Company. Paper printing was a big business in Dayton years ago, and Dayton History's Vice President, Alex Heckman, explained to the Dayton Daily News that due to Dayton's location next to the river, there were a lot of of paper mills here in the 1930s, in fact 25 out of Ohio's 36 paper mills were in Dayton, and because it was easier to do the printing next to where the paper mills were, there were 77 paper printing companies at one point as well. If you're interested in getting involved you can volunteer at Carillon as well, simply call volunteer coordinator Kay Locher at 937-293-2841 ext. 102. For more information about the museum, visit daytonhistory.org.    The Dayton Playhouse is bringing back its annual event, FutureFest, for the first time since the pandemic, the event where they produce six previously unproduced plays over the course of three days. FutureFest is a nationally-recognized all-volunteer event, and they received 378 play submissions this year. They have their six finalists who will be performing at the festival selected now, and at the festival those plays will be judged by professional adjudicators. One of the plays is particularly timely, and is called “Griswold,” which is about Estelle Griswold of the Supreme Court case Griswold v. Connecticut, which enabled unmarried couples the right to obtain birth control. You can learn more at wordpress.thedaytonplayhouse.com.    Salem Avenue in Dayton is now undergoing what will likely be over a year-long reconstruction process on the strip between Riverview and North Avenues. A reconstruction is not a simple repaving and actually involves much more work, hence the length of the project. Traffic will be down to a single lane during the construction process, so city leaders urge people to find alternate routes. The rebuilding is overdue, however, as some sections of the underlying base pavement are reported by the city to be over 100 years old. Once reopened, the road will have five lines, with two on each side and a center lane in between, as well as a two-way 10-foot wide cycle track. This is just phase 2 of the entire project, and the final phase 4 is not expected to be done until the end of 2025.    The Dayton Walk of Fame recently inducted some new members, including one of my favorite local bands, Guided by Voices. The walk began in 1996 and recognizes individuals with outstanding achievements in the arts, education, invention, community or military service, philanthropy, and more. The inductees this year as follows: Phyllis G. Bolds - a black woman who graduated from Dunbar High School in 1950 and went on to become internationally-known for her work in aircraft dynamics.  Neal Gittleman - artistic director and conductor of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra for almost thirty years.  Roger Glass - president and CEO of Marion's Piazza who is known for his philanthropy work, including helping to found Equitas Health.  A.B. Graham - who was considered the founding father of 4-H youth programming.  Sharon Rab - the founder and co-chair of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize.  Guided by Voices - known as the “forefathers of lo-fi rock,” who are headed by frontman Bob Pollard. They're still active of course and just this past March released Crystal Nuns Cathedral.  The inductees will be formally inducted and honored at a luncheon at Sinclair in October. Visit daytonregionwalkoffame.org for more information.    Well if you're into BBQ then you're gonna want to hear this next story, but a Dayton woman, Erica Roby, recently competed in World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest in Memphis, Tennessee, where she took fourth place in a competition that the USA Today calls the “most prestigious BBQ contest.” She came in fourth place for ribs out of 104 teams. Roby also competed in the Food Network's season 2 of BBQ Brawl, which she won. If you want to try her BBQ, she plans on cooking for the Yellow Springs Juneteenth Celebration this year as well as having some local popups in August. You can find her on Instagram at @bluesmokeblaire. Also in related news, I will be having an interview with AJ Bauer coming up soon, and he's the owner of Smokin BBQ in the Oregon District, so if you're a fan of BBQ don't miss that one!   Well apparently there's a thief in Dayton who is in possession of a key that can, quote, “unlock all Dayton-area mailboxes,” who has been stealing checks from people. So far the Montgomery County Sheriff's office has reported that at least 26 checks have been stolen from outdoor mailboxes since February. US Postal Service spokespeople say that there is an active investigation that is ongoing, and while they argue that mailing checks is still secure, the sheriff's office is telling people they should go inside the post office to mail checks for the time being.     And finally in our news stories for this week, I actually just got back from a week of birding in northern Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa, which I mention because while I was gone apparently the bird flu popped up in Dayton. The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus has been found in birds locally, which can infect chickens, duck, geese, pheasants, quail, and guinea fowl, and there is no cure. It can infect humans, so City Manager Shelley Dickstein warned recently in a commission meeting for people not to handle dead birds, so stay safe out there if you come across one.     And now for local events happening soon:   Well today, Sideshow, one of the Dayton Yellow Cab's annual shows, is coming back this month today and tomorrow after taking several years off due to Covid-19. This year performers will include Far From Eden, Tino, Nautical Theme, Snake Oil Revival, and more. Ticket information is available at yellowcabtavern.com.   If you're looking for something fun to do with friends tomorrow that has an opportunity to win prizes, then you're in luck, because there's a downtown Dayton scavenger hunt going on, which is being put on by the Downtown Dayton Partnership. The scavenger hunt takes place from 11:00am-5:00pm and starts in the Oregon District but will lead you all over downtown Dayton. Answers will be recorded on a clue sheet, although some hunt locations will require you to text photos of the things you find. The 1st place prize is $300 cash, so nothing to sneeze at. There is a $10 registration fee per team, although in return you receive $10 in Downtown Dollars, which you can use at any participating downtown business. All teams also get entered into a raffle prize drawing as well. There's no limit on the number of people per team. Visit downtowndayton.org to sign your team up and learn more.    Well if you're in town on Sunday, May 22nd, which happens to be my birthday, then you can go to the Branch and Bone brewery's Brunch with Chef Dane event, which is happening from 12:00pm noon until they run out. They'll be serving up dishes like donut breakfast sandwiches, country ham, polenta eggs, and more.

This event is $25 and features a guest speaker, T. Douglas Toles of Toles Media, who will be talking about Dayton's Founding Mothers. It goes from 3:00-5:00pm on Sunday and you can learn more at daytonwomansclub.org.    Once again on Sunday, Dayton's Bach Society will be performing “Renewed,” a tribute to Paul Laurence Dunbar. This event features three world premiers of works set to Dunbar poems by composer Adolphus Hailstork and the winner's of the Bach Society's Young Composers Competition. Tickets are $25 and can be found at bachsocietyofdayton.org.    Standup comedian, actor, and TV show host, Donnell Rawlings, will perform at Wiley's later this month on May 27th and 28th. Tickets go for $45 and can be purchased online at wileyscomedy.com.    Next Sunday May 29th at Carillon is the Dayton Heritage Festival, which goes from 12:00-8:30pm.

Please call me at 513-400-3538 and leave me a voice message explaining who you would like me to contact, why you want me to have them on the show, and one question you'd like me to ask them.

Between 1980 and 1983, the slayings of five young women baffled Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Investigators. Similarities between a few would have police theorizing a connection. The most striking and grisly commonality shared among three of the victims was the fact that when they were found, the victims were ablaze. Another unfortunate and investigation-stifling commonality between four of the five victims was a serial-confessor sometimes called “The One-Eyed Drifter.” The newscast audio heard this episode is from the NBC5/KXAS Television News Archive at the University of North Texas Special Collections.

A story of how a local Captain at the Montgomery County Sheriff's jail made a difference in the lives of those less advantaged and motivated other agencies and charities to participate. Here's the transcript. Interview with Captain Kim Haug Hugh: This is Hugh Ballou, and my guest for this session is Captain Kim Haug. I am at the Montgomery County Sheriff's department. I met Kim the other day, and I was quite impressed with the work she has done outside of her regular job, demonstrating how leaders can make a difference. Let's start with talking about what your job title is here. Kim: I am captain, but my job title is the Chief Correctional Officer of the Montgomery County Jail. Hugh: That's your work-work. But we are going to talk about what you have done outside your work. Do you have a title or description for that program we are going to talk about? Kim: The program that we have started is called Effort. It stands for Enabling Friends for Our Response Teams. Hugh: Enabling Friends for Our Response Teams. Clever. What was the situation that came up that was the inspiration to start this? Kim: We have a lady who works for the sheriff's office. She has a son who is autistic. She requested that we do something for the special needs community. She didn't give us a whole lot other than that. she just wanted us to do something with the special needs community, so that started some thoughts going and some programs. We started thinking of some things. We got together with a lot of people in the community and came up with the EFFORT program. Hugh: Whoa. So she came and talked to you about it. What was the problem you were addressing? Kim: She had had a couple bad experiences with her son. He is a teenager, and they live in a town. There had been a couple incidents with law enforcement. They were pretty scary for her. At one point, her son was not responding to a command, not because he didn't understand it, but because he was afraid. He had something in his hand that was like a comfort item, and the command was to put it down. He refused to do it. The situation started to escalate pretty quickly. She was concerned that maybe in the future, ash e got older, that situation could have gone really bad. She just wanted us to do something for the special needs community, including individuals with intellectual disabilities because she saw the need. Hugh: We read about things when they go bad with law enforcement. We want to balance it out with things that we do to prevent those situations. This is really important. what was next? How did you start this initiative? Kim: First, I approached the sheriff with the idea of having a fun day at the sheriff's department. I the nquickly realized that I was out of my element with the special needs community, that I needed some help and some guidance, as I didn't want to do anything wrong. I knew that I would have one chance at this. You mess this up, and that could be really bad. I invited a lo of people from the special needs community, from schools, the Special Olympics, DARS and IDA and some other agencies in our area that work with special needs, along with law enforcement and first responders. We had a big brainstorming session. I told them some ideas, what I would like to do. They were really excited about it. We went forward with it, but always with the guidance of the people in the special needs community already to make sure we did everything that was going to be helpful and right, and that we wouldn't do anything silly that would make the situation worse. Hugh: Our audience are people who are leaders in various types of organizations like those that you reached out to. What is DARS and IDA? Kim: DARS is the Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services. What they do is they work with a lot of individuals who have special needs on assisting them and getting them employment. IDA is Individuals with Disabilities Association, and they do a lot of really neat programs for individuals with disabilities. Special Olympics, everyone knows what that is. We invited those people to come and guide us along. Hugh: One of the things that we highlight in our work is that leaders are first and foremost people with influence. You did not have any official relationship that you could say, “Do this.” You just influenced them because of your clarity of vision for this. Speak to that. They voluntarily stepped up, is what I am hearing. Kim: They did. When we met, I first shared with them what I wanted ot do and the purpose of what I wanted to do. I wanted to bridge that gap. I wanted to reach out to the special needs community because as I started this research, I found out that there wasn't a lot of trust between the individuals and the families of the individuals with special needs and law enforcement due to those bad experiences. I was just afraid that we wouldn't know how to handle it. I am not just talking about law enforcement, but fire and rescue as well. Those can be really scary situations for anyone, but you throw in the special needs aspect. Even a parent getting pulled over for a parcking ticket could be traumatic for somebody with autism. When you pull over behind that car with the lights and the siren. Car accidents. A fire in the home. We bring in an element that is unfamiliar and scary. What I wanted to do was on this day, make sure there were fire trucks and abumalcnes and police cars and officers in uniform and everybody was in uniform. The firemen were in uniform, the rescue people were in what they wear, and law enforcement was in uniform. They got to ineract with us on a fun level, and they got to learn about the jobs that we do. They did the obstacle course that the law enforcement officers do when we go to the academy. They got to use the fire hose. It was just incredible what the fire department did. They got to go into the back of an ambulance and see it. They had a photo with the cops, where they got their picture taken and got to take it home with them when they left the site. They got certificates and medals and awards for doing all the obstacle courses. What I wanted to do was like I said bridget that gap and show them that we are not scary, that we are not there to make a situation worse, but rather, make it better. Hugh: This is an activity, or is it housed under the sheriff's department or connected to any official entity? Kim: It's a program that the sheriff's office does. It's something that we do in partnership with all first responders in the county. Hugh: It's your baby? Kim: It's my baby. Hugh: We're talking in 2017 early in the year. How long has it been going? Kim: Last year was our pilot program. We did it in jUly of last year. We start meeting next week to start planning this year's EFFORT event. Hugh: What will you do to create sustainability and enable transitions as you bring on more programs nad need other leaders to take other parts? What will you do to introduce that sustainability with the transitions? People aren't goin to do it forever, so how do you bring on fresh people and have a rotation system? Kim: One of the things that we do throughout the year is we do training for the new officers who come in. one of the things we will definitely do is it's open to volunteers. Anyone can come and continue to go in the fire departments and rescue departments and provide training. Ongoing training bout the need that we have in our community that we need to be better trained to handle individuals with disabilities. We want those families to trust us on that level. What we will definitely be doing is the continuing training, which will be the key part of keeping this going. Hugh: Good. I see you going over and above the training because you have created and built on relationships. Kim: The other organizations that we have developed relationships with have been phenomenal. I have actually been relaly surprised at how important those connections with the DARS agency and the IDA and Special Olympics have been. We partner with them in some things, but it has been small. The partnership with them has been huge. We have used them for training purposes, and they have used us for training purposes on their side. But the partnership that the sheriff's office has wit hthese agencies now is phenomenal. I see that continuing to grow as well. Different programs will change throughout because we already have this established partnership. That will make transitions easier for programs in the future. Hugh: Good. One of the strong leadership principles I'm seeing is that you don't have to be the expert in everything. You are the visionary, and you brought in people with particular expertise to fill in those gaps. Kim: Yes. It was the smartest thing that I have learned to do. If you want to do something, you find the people who are really good at it and partner with them. Hugh: That's a key statement right there. Leaders are catalysts for some of the things to happen. What I am hearing is you were very clear on what the need was and what we can do about it. But you let other people play into the content and the methodologies and the process piece wit hexpertise. Part of what I wanted to highlight in this interview is we sometimes get in a vacuum with our churches, our charities, thinking, whether it's government or other, that we have to do it all. The key message I want to highlight here is this is a collaborative community effort. Kim: Correct. Hugh: Collaboration really enables us all to do a whole lot more. What are some of the results that you have seen so far? Kim: We extended our program to a degree by doing a GTO program, called Growth through Opportunity, which was really positive for the sheriff's office, and also for three individuals. Through the DARS relationships, we had three cadets come through a program through the sheriff's office called Grow Through Opportunity. We took in three cadets, all three with intellectual disabilities, and we spent four month with them where they came in and learned job skills and social skills through job coaches. The job coaches were the deputies. They would spend several hours a day with us, Monday through Thursday, and they graduated the program. The whole purpose of that was to get them job-ready. We went to different agencies throughout the county, other police agencies and the fire departments, and they would have work for them to do. Under the supervision of the job coach, they did jobs. These three individuals are actually out there interviewing for jobs now, aso they learned everything from eye contact to shaking hands to how to fill out applications to interacting with strangers and how to talk to business leaders when they go into the county. That was a pretty neat program. That is a huge thing that has come out of the EFFORT program and the training we have done. I have also seen the positive impact on the deputies who work here and the experiences they have had with individuals in the community. When they have had to go on calls and they have encountered someone with autism or another disability and their confidence on being able ot handle that better and knowing how, I have been trained on how to interact with somebody who is autistic, and they feel comfortable in doing that. Hugh: Something most of us don't even think about. As you are talking about the skills about eye contact and all of that, we could all use that, but that is giving people a leg up who might not have been taught that. Kim: Or it's more difficult for them due to their disability. It's harder for them to reach out and hsake someone's hand. They may know they are supposed to, but it's the reminder that they should be doing this. Hugh:That's huge. We want to reach out and do something for other people. What you said also is there is a change internally with people who are working with these people. Have you ahd any stories from any of your officers? Kim: I do. I had one deputy who called me after an interaction. The call was a teenager who was out of control. You never eally know, when you are going on those calls, what you are going to encounter. Are they just acting up, or are they really out of control? When he got there, he found out the young lady was autistic. He remembered his training, and you feel more confident knowing you know how to handle the situation the way it should be handled. He left the situation, and it was positive for the mother, the daughter, and the deputy. They have an ongoing relationship. We now know that if we are called to this house, that his young lady has autism, and we know some of her triggers, some of the things we can do or say to calm her down, and it is a positive all the way around. The flip side of it is we are better trained to handle these situations. The parents see us as somebody who is coming in to help and not make a situation worse. Hugh: What is your vision for the future? How do you see this going in the future? Do you see it growing or impacting different segments? Do you see it impacting more people without growing? What do you see? Kim: I definitely see it growing and impacting more people. I would love for this to grow into other counties. I would love to see other counties either come here for the training or open up their departments for the training, for the GTO program, or for something similar to EFFORT. I did have a lady from South Carolina call me and ask me how to do it because she wanted to do it there for her department. That was very encouraging, and that is what I would like to see continue. I would like to see all departments realize there is a whole segment of our community that we don't normally deal with unless it is an accident or something like that. it's not necessarily the criminal side of it, but there is a whole segment of our community that really desires to have a relationship with us and that we need to have that trust. They need to be able to trust us to handle that situation well. Hugh: There is a natural barrier between law enforcement and citizen. When you are on the street and see a police car, you slow down. We are always thinking about ourselves. What am I doing wrong? We are in a different mindset. What I am hearing you saying is you are bridging some of those gaps. Kim: Fighting crime is a huge part of what law enforcement does. We do enforce the laws of the land, the speed limits. We do have to interact in that way. That is not all that we do. We are here to serve the community. With Sheriff Pardon's vision for where he wants to take this department is definitely in that direction: being there for the community. We do have that one part of what we do, but it's only a part of what we do. It's not all of what we do. We serve the community, and there was a need in our community to connect with the special needs individuals. We are trying to bridge that gap and fulfill that need. Hugh: A person in your organization brought that need to your attention, and you paid attention. Why you? Why did you say, “I want to do this?” What was inside you that was the voice that said, “Kim, do this”? Kim: She came to me a few times. She was pretty persistent. Then I started to think about it. We had had a meeting at the beginning of the year with the sheriff, and he laid out his vision for the sheriff's office. It was definitely community-driven. That was at the forefront of my mind, that we were going in a different direction. But she came to me a few times. I know her son on a personal level. I have met him. I guess it just struck achord that we do need to do this. Why not me? Hugh: You don't know this, but I talk about leadership, and I summarize it in three things. Leaders get things done. Leaders figure out how things get done. That is the illusive part. Leaders influence others. I see all those traits. You didn't just say, “Oh, there's an idea.” You took action. So if there are people ou there that are hearing this story, what advice would you give people if they have got an idea? What is the leadership piece that you would enourage people to embrace to move on the idea? Kim: It's really hard to say because I feel like this is part of who I am. If there is a need, look for ways to address it. I have come across some things where I have handed them off. There is a need here. You look for ways that you can address it, and sometimes there are things that I can move forward with. Sometimes I see somebody who is better equipped to move forward with it, and you hadn it off. But you still want to follow through and make sure that need gets met. It doesn't take much. Get people around you who are experts and say, “Hey, this is a need. This is how I see we can fix it.” Then start getting some advice and some experts around you and a good team. You just get it done. Hugh: A good team. Well, this is inspirational. Thank you for spending time to share the story and your humility in getting out of the way and letting it happen. You brought people together around a vision, and you have been a catalyst for things to happen. I am sure you have been a cheerleader when things didn't quite go together at some point. We are in the sheriff's department and are watching sirens. That is the validation of where we are. Any other things you want to share before we end this story? Kim: Thank you so much for the opportunity to share it. If I can promote EFFORT, I am going to promote it any place that I can because I really think this is going to change lives. We got no negative feedback from the event, which was huge. This was a pilot event, and we stepped into uncharted territory for a law enforcement agency that we had never done before. We got no negative comments, and the only thing that I have gotten is I have gotten comments from other organizations and some individuals saying that they realy want to be a part of it he next time we do it. I have already ahd people calling me asking when we are going to start again. Hugh: The event happens once a year? Kim: Yes. Hugh: What time of year? Kim: After school. We did it in July this year. I think we are looking at the end of June this time. Hugh: What happens between events? I am sure there is some ramp-up time to the event. But does anything happen now for instance? Kim: WE are going to start meeting and planning the next event. We will be looking for donations. Everything was donated for the event pretty much. We had food donated, like a hot dog vendor, ice cream, drinks. We will start making the rounds and getting all those things lined up. We really won't change a lot. Other than changing maybe the layout of where people were, we had this at Christiansberg High School. Very few changes will be made. Between now and June, we will start getting our flyer ready, start making our contacts, start getting the word out. After June in the fall, we will look at doing the GTO program again. Hugh: I love it. It's a great story. I want to do a post-script for this and talk about leadership in general. Let's move in another direction. We are broadcasting this on YouTube, so it will be inspiring some other departments to want to call you. You will be teaching this to some others. You are also active in the community. You spoke to me about a leadership cohort that you get together with. Could you speak to me a little bit about that? Kim: WE do. It's called Project 14. It started at the beginning of last year with myself and Lieutenant Louie Hesslup. We started a leadership workshop where we met once a month and ahd a two-hour workshop. We invited indiviudals from the community, clergy, and other agiences of course to come. We would put together a two-hour workshop. Louie passed away in May, and now his wife is on board. We have changed the name to Project 14 because Louie's number is Unit 14. Once a month, typically the last Thursday of the month, for two hours, we have a leadership project. We have a leadership workshop. We invite speakers in, and it could be anyone from one of the departments. There is a group of us: Lieutenant Andy Wilgram from Bradford PD, Officer Heath Hyatt from Christiansberg PD, and Bryan Roe from Blacksford PD> we have some of the chiefs. Chief Wilson and Captain Ramsey from Christiansberg PD. Other people have come on board. We get together once a month, decide what our topic is going t obe. One of us will do the project, or we will bring in an outside speaker. We just do a leadership project once a month. That has been great collaboration with different departments and us working together in a different way. Hugh: What have you learned there that helps you in your job and helps you in your volunteer work with this project you talkd about? Kim: One of the great things about the leadership project is the different topics that have come in. we have covered everything from the Bernard Bershard and just preparing for some of the events has been pretty challenging, just getting all the departments nad law enforcement to want to attend something like that. the collaboration has been pretty impressive with the different departments walking together. Nobody is really in charge. It's here at the sheriff's office. It's kind of sponsored by the sheriff's office, but it' really a collaborative effort. It's that teamwork thing. It's getting people around you who know how to get things done or have expertise where you don't and then working together and putting on a good project.
