Adopt James Island moratorium | Editorials

It will take a supermajority of Charleston City Council votes tonight to approve a badly needed six- month moratorium on large new developments on James Island. Council members should not hesitate to lend their wholehearted support. The Town of James Island unanimously passed a moratorium in May. So did City Council, although the city Planning Commission rejected it in June. County Council inexplicably has remained largely silent on the issue. But no one should be under the illusion that a half-year ban on multi-family developments will somehow straighten out the island’s longstanding, growth-related woes in and of itself. Rather the moratorium is simply an opportunity to do what City Council should have been doing for decades — develop a workable strategy to preserve James Island ’s livability and unique character in the face of a booming population. That strategy must involve infrastructure upgrades , like pushing forward the stalled but crucial Rethink Folly Road plan in coo

Dozens of Cloverleaf apartment residents faced with uncertainty a day after devastating fire | FOX 4 Kansas City WDAF-TV

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A day after a devastating fire at the Cloverleaf Apartments destroyed their homes, some renters say they don`t know where they will live. "That`s something that will be with me forever," said Aaron Melbert. Melbert didn't get much sleep overnight. The images of young children falling three stories to the ground keeps replaying in his mind. He was outside the Cloverleaf Apartments as the building burned. He caught two young kids dropped from a third floor balcony by a mother who was desperate to save them. "I congratulate that mother," Melbert said. "That mother knew her children were in danger, that was the only way. I couldn`t even make it up to the second floor without choking out so I knew for a fact the third floor couldn`t even open their door." Twenty-four people spent the night at an emergency shelter set up by the Red Cross at the Hillcrest Community Center . Like many at the shelter, Chelsea Mayberry and her six kids a

Image
A woman who was housesitting in Oceanside suffered a critical gunshot wound Tuesday night when an upstairs tenant accidentally fired a round through his floor as he was starting to clean his gun. The man raced to her aid before police and medics got there. Paramedics took her to a hospital with a life- threatening wound , police spokesman Tom Bussey said. The 63-year-old woman, from Huntington Beach, was staying at her daughter’s apartment on Bush Street about a block east of Interstate 5. Shortly before 11 p.m., a tenant in the apartment above her sat down to clean his 9mm Glock pistol and accidentally fired a round that was in the chamber, Bussey said. The round went through his floor and hit the victim while she was sitting on the couch, watching TV. The bullet hit her leg. By the time medics got her into an ambulance, she was unconscious and barely breathing, Bussey said. The 25-year-old gun owner was interviewed but not arrested because the shooting appeared accidental , Buss

Riviera Beach Man Held Without Bond After Allegedly Setting Fire To Apartment With Children Inside

A Florida judge denied bond for 22-year-old Velmando Williams, who is being accused of locking three children in a bedroom before setting fire to their apartment after an argument with their mother, according to the Palm Beach Post . Last week, a Stonybrook Apartment fire nearly took the lives of three children. It was reported that Tranice Smith, 19, and Williams, who is the father two of her children, was in a heated argument. Smith stated that she was cut in the back of the head and held down by her shirt. When she was able to break free, she said she ran out of the apartment and told Williams that she was going to call the police. That’s when Williams told her that he was going to set the apartment on fire before slamming and locking the door. Williams allegedly locked the three children in a bedroom inside the Stonybrook Apartment before setting fire to the couches in the living room by using cooking oil. Afterward, he jumped from an open window and fled the scene, according t

Grandmother’s boyfriend shoots her, grandson in head before turning gun on himself | News

Three people, including a 10-year-old child, are dead after what police are now calling a murder/suicide inside a Woodhaven apartment on Monday. According to police, dead are 49-year-old Sharry Multop and her grandson, Christopher Baltzer. Police said Terry Lee Wyatt , 62, was the woman’s boyfriend and shot them inside his apartment at Marsh Creek Village Apartments in the 25000 block of Marsh Creek Blvd . before turning the gun on himself. “He shot himself in the chin/head, so all three had wounds to the head,” Detective Lt. Scott Fraczek said. The bodies were discovered at about 7:45 p.m. when the boy’s mother returned to the apartment with her 8-year-old daughter just after the shooting occurred. Police said the boy’s mother lived there with her two children, her now-deceased mother and her great-grandmother. Fraczek said the great-grandmother was inside the apartment at the time of the shooting, but in a different room and was not injured. Police received several 911 calls about h

How I’m Learning to Trust God’s Plan as a Man With Depression

Life with depression is filled with more rollercoasters than an amusement park . There are the days when life is great. You’re full of optimism. Hope runs supreme . You feel like you can take on the world. For me, that was a couple weeks ago . Life was awesome. I’d finally got a job in a city I adore like no other — Lincoln, Nebraska. As a born and raised Nebraskan, and as a diehard Cornhuskers sports fan , I was finally “coming home” after 17 years of living in Iowa. My hopes were sky high. A new job, a new career, a new life. It was an opportunity to be back close to my roots, close to family and dear friends, to have my support system closer to me than I’ve had in ages. My first night back in Lincoln, I snapped a picture — one I had missed taking roughly three months earlier. Memorial Stadium (home of the Nebraska football team ) was on the left, followed by the Nebraska state capital building , Pinnacle Bank Arena , then capped by the stately lit Haymarket Park baseball park ,

Is Canadian Apartment Properties REIT a Buy After a Strong Q2?

Canadian Apartment Properties REIT  (TSX:CAR.UN) released its quarterly results earlier this month. I’ll look at how the company did, the strength of its financials, and if you should consider buying the stock. The company owns and operates residential rental properties , including apartments and townhomes, in many large urban centres in various locations across Canada. Although it’s predominantly in Canada, Canadian Apartment Properties has locations in Europe as well, specifically in Ireland and the Netherlands. The stock is a little different than many other REITs in that it focuses on apartments and residential spaces; other trusts rely more on commercial tenants.

Criscimagna was upbeat, the first two units had residents and 17 leases were signed. The model units were recently finished and one floor a month was coming online in the first, six-story building.

'City' living in the 'burbs? Try an aging office park

By Katherine Shaver The Washington Post From the rooftop terrace of their new townhouse, Keisuke and Idalia Yabe take in their suburban Maryland neighborhood : a staid, 1970s- era office park of glass office buildings and concrete parking garages . The Yabes say they have found the advantages of urban living in a shorter commute and the ability to walk to shopping centers and a park. They also have what feels like the best of suburbia -- mature trees, plentiful parking , Bethesda's sought-after schools and a more affordable mortgage. From the Washington and New York suburbs to North Carolina's Research Triangle Park , traditional corporate campuses that have struggled since the Great Recession are trying to transform from sterile worksites into vibrant mini-towns. In addition to housing, they're adding restaurants, grocery stores, playgrounds and outdoor concert spaces -- anything to draw people in and make them want to stay. Although it might sound strange at first, th

DA: Cobb robberies land Oklahoma man life sentence | News

A repeat felon from Oklahoma is set to spend the rest of his life in prison over three Marietta robberies in 2016, Cobb County District Attorney Vic Reynolds announced Monday . On Friday, a Cobb jury convicted 40 -year-old Rodney Kinchelle Howell of stealing purses from three women outside three Marietta stores in April of last year. All three robberies occurred in the daytime, and in one instance, a stolen purse yielded a handgun used in a later attack, said Kim Isaza, spokesperson for the DA’s office. Howell’s codefendant, Cheyenne Nicole Rogers , 23, also of Oklahoma, pleaded guilty earlier this month to charges related to the robberies. The first robbery occurred at 11 a.m. on April 5, 2016, when Howell and Rogers went to the Walmart on Cobb Parkway near the Big Chicken. As the two followed an 86-year-old woman and her 64-year-old daughter out of the store, Howell grabbed the mother’s purse and ran. Rogers got into a 2007 Cadillac Escalade with Oklahoma tags, and both fled th

PD: Woman hides in locked bathroom while Tempe apartment burns

TEMPE, AZ - A woman was able to escape an attack by her ex-boyfriend and the Tempe apartment he set on fire. Tempe police report that on August 19 they received a call from a resident of an apartment complex, near McClintock and University drives. When police arrived, they smelled smoke, heard a fire alarm and a woman screaming as she escaped an apartment unit engulfed in flames. The woman told police that her ex-boyfriend, 38-year-old Micheo Deangelo Cooper came home for the first time after she broke off their relationship two days prior. After a long argument, Cooper reportedly broke into her bedroom breaking the door and allegedly shoving her against a wall. Cooper allegedly threatened to kill her and burn her belongings while flicking a red lighter on and off. The woman locked herself in the bathroom to get away from Cooper and came out when she thought it was safe. Upon exiting the bathroom she saw her closet on fire, blocking her exit from the apartment. She managed to ge
