Ocala Homeowners Insurance Claim Lawyer

Regional News 9/14/11

The Kitsap County sheriff's office says a fast-moving SUV ran through a stop sign, across an intersection and struck a natural gas meter at a Port Orchard, Wash., home, causing a gas leak that ignited with an explosion. The east end of the house caught fire Tuesday, as did the SUV. The Kitsap Sun reports that two passing motorists stopped and pulled the 23-year-old driver from the vehicle. The sheriff's office says he was sent to a hospital but his injuries were not considered life-threatening. No one was in the home at the time. The sheriff's office is investigating. A 59-year-old Ocala, Fla., man was taking pictures with his son on a cliff above waterfalls in Washington's Mount Rainier National Park when he fell and died. Park spokesman Kevin Bacher says rangers recovered Roger Alan Wagner's body Tuesday morning. Bacher says Wagner was on a cliff above Christine Falls around 7 p.m. Monday when he fell 40 feet into the water below. By the time rangers arrived at the scene, it was too dark to retrieve the body. During the night, Wagner's body was swept over the 69-foot double falls, coming to rest 100 yards downstream. Washington officials are preparing to release details on the state's employment situation in August. The information from the Employment Security Department on Wednesday comes after recent months showed conflicting signals about the economy. The number of jobs has grown for 11 consecutive months but the unemployment rate has grown from 8.8 percent in March to 9.3 percent in July. The unemployment rate had fallen through much of 2010 after hitting a peak of 10 percent at the beginning of last year. State economic forecasters have lowered their growth projections for the rest of this year. Lawmakers are now closely watching economic indicators, especially a new revenue forecast due to be released Thursday. Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulghum has been reprimanded for not promptly sending an Amber Alert in the 2007 deadly abduction of Zina Linnik. The Tacoma News Tribune reports that a sergeant called Fulghum at 4 a.m. on July 5, 2007, telling him to issue an alert for Linnik, who had been reported abducted six hours earlier. But Fulghum had taken an over the counter sleep aid and fell back asleep, even though he was on call. The alert was issued at 10 a.m. The alert informs the public about abducted children and provides details that might help law enforcement find them. Linnik, 12, was kidnapped near her home the night of July 4, 2007 and later killed. Convicted sex offender Terapon Adhahn confessed to and was convicted of kidnapping, raping and killing the girl. He is serving a life sentence. Thousands of students in Washington state's third-largest school district will be spending a second day out of class as school officials seek a court order to force hundreds of striking teachers back to work. A Superior Court hearing is scheduled Wednesday morning on the Tacoma School District's request for an injunction to order nearly 1,900 teachers back to work. The district's lawyers contend public employees cannot legally strike under state law. Tacoma Education Association spokesman Rich Wood says union lawyers will be ready with a response. Teachers hit the picket lines Tuesday after voting overwhelmingly Monday night to strike over issues that include teacher pay, class size and the way the district's teachers are transferred and reassigned. Tacoma teachers had been working without a contract since school started Sept. 1. The strike is keeping 28,000 students out of class. The King County medical examiner's office says a 49-year-old man found dead in his King County Jail cell committed suicide by hanging himself. The Seattle Times says jail records show Domenic Vittone of suburban Des Moines was booked into the jail Sept. 6 for investigation of criminal contempt, failure to appear and theft. Jail Cmdr. William Hayes said the man was found unresponsive Monday during a routine security check and declared dead about 20 minutes later. An investigation is planned. Hayes says this was the second suicide this year. A 29-year-old man killed himself in May at the King County Regional Justice Center in Kent. Authorities say that a man who attacked a guitarist on stage in Mukilteo did so because he didn't like the song the band was playing. The Daily Herald of Everett reports that authorities say the man may have mental health issues. The Seattle Times says 33-year-old Adam K. Sampson of Mount Vernon was charged Tuesday with first-degree assault in Friday's attack. Police say the assailant jumped over a fence and blackberry bushes during the performance to reach the stage, where he attacked guitarist Josh Clausen of the Seattle band Flowmotion with a small knife. The guitarist was able to fend off the attacker with his instrument, but did receive two stab wounds near his neck. Prosecutors say a man who tried to run a uniformed Marine and another officer off a Seattle road in July had apparently been in contact with a terrorism suspect. Michael D. McCright was charged Tuesday with swerving his car at a government sedan on July 12. Prosecutors say the Marines had just left a military recruiting station in South Seattle that was the target of what authorities described as a foiled terror plot by two men, Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif of Seattle and Walli Mujahidh of Los Angeles. They were arrested in June. In asking for bail to be set at $2 million, prosecutors wrote that McCright's cell phone had been used three times to contact Abdul-Latif prior to his arrest. McCright has not been charged in connection with any terrorism but authorities say they are investigating. It was not immediately clear if McCright had obtained a lawyer. The Olympic National Forest has closed the Brothers Wilderness Area because of a wildfire. The fire is burning in the wilderness next to Olympic National Park. The U.S. Forest Service said Tuesday that visitors to the closed area can be fined between $5,000 and $10,000 and imprisoned up to six months. The fire started Aug. 31 and has burned 1,230 acres. East of the Cascades, a wildfire that has burned 29 homes and 79 outbuildings near Satus Pass is 70 percent contained. A smaller management team will take over the fire on Thursday. Western Pacific Timber Company has donated $25,000 to the Klickitat Valley Fire Victims Fund to help those who lost their homes. The company will match additional contributions to the fund up to another $25,000. After flirting with the idea of seeking a congressional seat in Washington state, U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich may stay in Ohio after all. In a Tuesday statement issued after the release of a new GOP-proposed congressional map, Kucinich calls the decision not to dismantle his Cleveland district "an amazing turn of events." The proposal would instead create a district along Lake Erie, forcing a likely face-off between Kucinich and U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo. Kucinich says he had been praying for a chance to continue representing his district. The eight-term congressman has attended political events in Washington and told constituents he wouldn't wait for the Ohio legislature to decide the future of his political career. He had previously told The Associated Press that he believed he was being "proactive." A Delaware judge has refused for the second time to approve a plan from bank holding company Washington Mutual Inc. for its reorganization. In a 139-page ruling late Tuesday, the judge said it's possible that hedge funds supporting the plan engaged in insider trading of WMI securities during the bankruptcy as opponents of the plan claim. The reorganization plan is based on settling lawsuits that pitted Washington Mutual, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and JPMorgan Chase against one another after the FDIC seized WaMu's Seattle-based flagship bank in 2008 and sold its assets to JPMorgan for $1.9 billion in the largest bank failure in U.S. history. The judge previously said certain revisions to the plan were needed before it could be approved. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has picked an executive with pharmaceutical company Novartis Pharma AG to be president of its global health program. The foundation said Tuesday that Dr. Trevor Mundel starts his new job Dec. 1. He succeeds Tadataka "Tachi" Yamada, who left the foundation in June after five years as head of the global health program. In a statement, foundation CEO Jeff Raikes said Mundel's "deep understanding of the complexities, challenges and opportunities to improve global health made him a prime match for us." Mundel will lead the foundation's efforts to develop and deliver drugs, vaccines and other tools to fight developing world diseases. He has been a senior executive and scientist with Novartis since 2003, serving most recently as global head of development. It's long been a sore spot for the federal government and hunger-prevention groups: Each year, children who qualify for free meals at school go without during summer break. The U.S. Department of Agriculture pays schools, churches and other nonprofits to serve summer meals to children in low-income neighborhoods, but many children don't have a way to get there. Partly as a result, less than one in five of the 20.6 million children who receive free or reduced-price school lunches gets meals in the summer. To address the problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture spent $6.3 million this year to test new approaches in 13 states. Some grant recipients distributed food in backpacks. Others delivered meals to children's homes or served them to participants in arts and sports programs. Spokane's top two police officials will leave the department within the next few months. The Spokesman Review reports that both Chief Anne Kirkpatrick and Assistant Chief Jim Nicks will step down from their posts. Spokesman police Officer Jennifer DeRuwe says 51-year-old Kirkpatrick is sticking to her five-year plan and notified city leaders that she was stepping down, and talked to Mayor Mary Verner about finding a replacement in early 2012.Nicks said he is retiring after 30 years in law enforcement.
