Keep all those involved with these sudden streaks of strange weather, in your Prayers. The loss of property is sad, but the loss of life is hard to deal with. We feel so hopeless in these times. How do you stop nature. You can't. These are times when its so hard to console one who has lost everything. It's up to all of us to show them they are not alone...That God and his children are here to help.

At least 3 dead as storms pummel much of the South

Severe storms raking a wide swath of the South with damaging winds killed at least three people Wednesday in Tennessee, battered homes and businesses in Kentucky and knocked out power to thousands of people across the region.

Authorities also said at least a half dozen people were injured by the rapidly moving storms that dumped pingpong ball-sized hail in some areas and were accompanied by downpours, thunder and lightning.

The weather was part of a vast system that spawned tornadoes earlier in the day in Missouri, Illinois and Kansas, killing nine. The system threatened to bring more damaging winds and rain to the Southeast amid warnings the region "could definitely get a tornado here and there," said Ryan Jewell, a meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center in Oklahoma from the storms.

In Tennessee, seven homes were destroyed and about 50 damaged in Cumberland County, Jill Lewis of the county Emergency Management Agency said. Emergency crews worked after nightfall to rescue injured people trapped inside homes. A medical helicopter was seen helping some of the injured.

Doug Scarlett of the Cumberland County American Red Cross said a shelter was being set up in anticipation of some victims being left homeless.

"We have no idea what the damage is because this happened just before dark," he said.

Already, it appeared to be the most deadly weather outbreak in Tennessee since 37 people died in tornadoes last April 27-28. Tennessee is one of the U.S. states considered by experts most vulnerable to tornadoes.

School Shooting Ohio

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:28:03 +0100

CHARDON, Ohio — The fatal shooting rampage in a high school in this quiet suburb of Cleveland remained a puzzle on Tuesday, with prosecutors saying that a student had confessed to the killings and had told them that he did not know his victims and chose them at random.

T. J. Lane, 17, being escorted into court on Tuesday. The authorities have until Thursday to file charges against him in the shooting.

Prosecutors said the student, T. J. Lane, 17, admitted taking a .22-caliber Ruger semiautomatic pistol to Chardon High School on Monday and firing 10 rounds at four students at a cafeteria table. He has not been formally charged, but prosecutors said it was likely that he would be tried in an adult court.

Three of the victims — Russell King Jr., Demetrius Hewlin and Daniel Parmertor — have died. Two others were wounded. One has been released from the hospital.

“This is not about bullying, this is not about drugs,” said David P. Joyce, the Geauga County prosecutor. “This was an effect of one lone gunman. He chose his victims at random.”

Mr. Lane appeared in court for the first time on Tuesday, wincing as the prosecutors read the accusations against him. Dressed in a crisp khaki-colored shirt and dark low-slung pants with a thick belt, he sat in a wooden chair with his back straight, speaking in barely audible tones to the judge, Timothy J. Grendell, in Geauga County Juvenile Court. His face crumpled briefly into tears as he was led away, and he appeared to whisper the words “I am so sorry” to two aunts and his grandfather, Jack Nolan, who is also his legal guardian.

The authorities have until Thursday to charge Mr. Lane.

The day brought more questions than answers to this blue-collar town of 5,000 east of Cleveland. Mr. Lane is a sophomore at Lake Academy, an alternative high school for at-risk youths, some of whom take a bus from Chardon High School. Students interviewed at both schools described him as quiet but friendly, and interested in Nascar and hunting.

CNN reported on Tuesday that Mr. Lane had taken the gun from a family member, who had bought it legally, but Mr. Joyce said he could not confirm that.

“By all accounts, T. J. is a fairly quiet and a good kid,” said Robert N. Farinacci, the Lanes’ lawyer, who added that he had not been in trouble before.

David Rafail, 17, of Willoughby, Ohio, a student at a vocational school next to Lake Academy, said he used to take smoking breaks with Mr. Lane. He called him a quiet student who “was always alone.”

Jarod Mausolf, 17, a student at Lake Academy, said he had taken American history with Mr. Lane and called him a good student, though far more quiet than most.

“He never talked at all,” Mr. Mausolf said. “The expression on his face, it was sad. A sad face. Kind of blank.”

Another student, Damien Stewart, 16, a sophomore at Lake Academy, said he had an English class with Mr. Lane.

“He was pretty cool,” Mr. Stewart said. “Very quiet. Nobody really talked to him. Not because we didn’t like him, he just wasn’t a talker. He was very sweet, very nice, very friendly.”

Mr. Lane’s lawyer said the teenager had no prior trouble with the law. Mr. Lane’s father, Thomas Lane, was arrested in 2002 on charges of attempted murder, and a restraining order was imposed forbidding him to contact his former wife, according to court records. Mr. Lane struck a plea bargain for a lesser charge and was sentenced to four years in jail. He served nine months of his sentence and was released in June 2003.

The families of Mr. King and Mr. Hewlin issued statements on Tuesday that included a note of pride that their sons would be able to help others through organ donations. “We ask that Russell be remembered for who he was, a strong boy with a big heart,” the family of Mr. King said.

Mr. Hewlin’s family described him as a “happy young man who loved life and his family and friends.”

Joseph Bergant II, the superintendent of schools, said Chardon High School would reopen on Friday. Parents and students were invited to the school on Thursday to meet with counselors.

“We’re not just any old place, Chardon,” Mr. Bergant said “This is every place. As you’ve seen in the past, this can happen anywhere.”

“School Shootings: Let’s Not Forget the Others”

Following the terrible school shooting in Ohio this week in which three students were killed and two others injured, the nation again tries to understand the tragedy of violence in schools. Our Florida member The Children’s Campaign has a meditation on the nature of school shootings in America and abroad, drawing from trends and recommendations from experts.

“Whether the cause is chronic bullying, social alienation, disruptive homes, access to lethal weapons or mental dysfunction, the sad reality is that law enforcement is called upon from the cell phones or urgent text messages of students during or immediately after these shootings. Home, school, and community-wide solutions are necessary to prevent them in the first place,” writes Roy Miller, president and founder of The Children’s Campaign. Read the whole piece online.

Justice for Brian, Missy and JoJo

The following is a request from Linda, Missy's Mom:

I need a favor from all my family and friends. Here is the address to Judge Sheehan. If you would, PLEASE send a letter to Judge Sheehan on Brian and Missy's behalf. Everyone should start writing letters to him to show their disappointment in the fact that the defendant was allowed to keep his license when clearly, after seeing his driving record, he is a menance to society. Judge Sheehan need...s to know that Missy and Brian are real people, decent and hard working and didn't deserve what happened to them. Not that anyone does, but especially by someone who shouldn't have been on the road anyway. Please feel free to pass this message on to your friends and family. Myself and my husband appreciate all of your help and support for Missy and Brian. We love them and miss them both so much and we just want some justice for them. They DESERVE at least that. Thanks everyone. It really really means alot to us. The next court date is April 30th. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Below you will find the injustice happening...Please, keep this case in your Prayers...We never want to push for anything that might hurt someone, but I think this boy not being able to drive anymore, would be a good and safe thing for everyone. Come on Judge I know people who get there license taken for having a decorative blue light in their car or for not covering themselves with insurance. Here we have the deaths of a family. I don't think just a $154.00 fine and $5000 bond is equal to what this family has lost. Our continued thought's, letters and Prayers go out to all those involved.

COVINGTON — A 20-year-old Independence man accused of killing a couple after running a red light will be allowed to keep driving.

Richard Michael Beers was arraigned on two counts of reckless homicide Monday in Kenton Circuit Court. He is out of jail on $5,000 bond.

Despite requests from prosecutors, Judge Martin Sheehan declined to change the condition of Beers’ bond to prevent him from getting behind the wheel.

Beers is charged in the deaths of Brian Hehman, 29, and Melissa Hehman, 27, who died Aug. 5, 2011 after police say Beers ran a red light at the intersection of Ky. 17 and Ky. 3035.

Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Leanne Beck said the light had been red for “several seconds” when Beers went through it striking three vehicles. The Hehmans were the second car that was hit, a Ford Probe. Their basset hound Jojo also died in the accident.

In court Monday, Beers attorney Mary Rafizadeh told the judge that Beers needed to be able to drive to get to work and church.

When Sheehan questioned Beers’ driving record, Rafizadeh said that he has had three or four speeding tickets and a reckless driving charge. Prosecutors did not have a copy of Beers driving record in court.

Since he got his learner’s permit in 2007, Beers has been cited for speeding three times, according to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet records. In those four years, Beers has been pulled over 13 times.

In addition to speeding, his infractions included not wearing a seat belt, not having his insurance card, not having his license with him, running a stop sign, improper passing, careless driving and reckless driving.

Two weeks before the fatal accident, Beers was charged with running a stop sign at Maher and Graven roads in Kenton County. He received the ticket at 1:23 p.m. and less than an hour later he paid the $154 fine at Kenton District Court in Covington.

Beers’ driving record shows that he was not cited for the Aug. 5 accident and he has received no citations since the accident.

If convicted on both counts of reckless homicide, Beers could face 10 years in prison.

He is scheduled to appear again in court April 20.
