Brown on Cleveland

Cleveland, OH. An Ohio man who killed his sister, her husband, and unborn niece was sentenced today in the Courtroom of Cuyahoga County Judge Rick Bell. Jason David Iverson was found guilty of three counts of aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. As family members on both sides of the aisle awaited sentencing, the question was "why." What happened on September 4, 2023, caused so much turmoil that it cost the lives of three innocent people.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Victory church pastor Rodney Locklear has been indicted. The Richmond Times Dispatch reports that a Virginia church has closed its doors, but not for the same reasons other congregations in the Commonwealth have been shuttered. It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters. Victory church has ceased to exist because the pastor has been accused of s$x crimes against a minor and now faces six additional charges.

It's not unusual for national publications to weigh in on the best places to retire in Florida. But they usually mention well-known cities that aren't a surprise in their inclusion. However, Southern Living has just named a lesser-known city - Clermont - that is an under-the-radar choice for some.

JACKSON HOLE—A scrunched, humbled look broke out on Tim Mangold’s face as he gripped the little, lone antler he carried out of the western Wyoming mountains on Wednesday. The 59-year-old affable Darby, Montana man — a hunting outfitter, woodworker and father of seven — had had quite the day.

Kentucky coach Mark Pope never played high school basketball in the Bluegrass State. If you didn’t know any better, you would think he has bled Blue all of his life. His three seasons at Kentucky from 1994-96, including a year he had to sit out because of NCAA transfer rules in place at the time, was all it took for Pope to understand what it means to wear the Blue-and-White jersey.

Ten-year-old George arrived at FAAS in February, terribly scared and with his coat in horrendous condition. The neglect he’d been through broke our staff’s hearts. Luckily he was almost immediately swept up by a very kind regular FAAS foster, Jamie Minas, and has been getting back on his feet ever since. (Those feet are very little, as you can see from the photo of his visit to the Thrifty Kitty, where he got his paws measured on the foot-sizing device.)

When homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it usually means there will be an intended purpose to keep the structure alive whether it’s through historic restoration, repurposing, or general maintenance. Sometimes, too, these places get demolished.

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone. It's hard to tell if it's true or false without personal experience, or at least whether someone in a family's long history line was treated with one of these stones.

In recent years, many monuments have been vandalized, mocked, and in need of protection due to civil unrest about their meaning and representation. There once was a tall Civil War Monument in the front entry of the Colorado State Capitol building. What happened to that monument and why was it removed?
