Antioch learns it can’t change how it selects a mayor — for now

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:42 GMT

A discussion Tuesday on whether Antioch’s mayor should be elected or rotated among council members turned into a civics lesson on what was even legally possible. And, in Antioch’s case, nothing can change until at least 2032.That was the message from an outside legal expert, Mal Richardson of Best Best & Kreiger, who told the council that once a city has redistricted, a council cannot redraw the election boundaries until the next federal census, which would be in 2032. Exceptions are only allowed if a city annexes land, is sued or is ordered by a court to redraw its districts.“Unless you qualify for one of those three exceptions, as a general law city, there’s no redistricting allowed by the council except for every 10 years,” Richardson said.Had the mayor’s role been switched to a non-elected position — which first would require a voters’ approval — the city would have had to redraw electoral districts. In that scenario, the mayoral position would then r...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:42 GMT

By Lauren Mascarenhas | CNNAfter police found a body in a black steamer trunk in a wooded area in Florida 53 years ago, the mystery of the “trunk lady” became a cold case that captured the attention of the public for decades. Using DNA evidence, police have now identified the victim as Sylvia June Atherton, a mother of five, from Tucson, Arizona.On Halloween 1969, St. Petersburg police were called to a wooded area behind what was then a restaurant named the Oyster Bar, Assistant Chief Michael Kovacsev said at a news conference Tuesday. He said two children reported seeing two White men in a pickup truck unload the trunk in the field and leave.When the officers opened the trunk, they found a woman’s body, wrapped in a large plastic bag, police said in a statement.

Quick Cook: A vegetarian Mushroom and Leek Paella

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:42 GMT

I remember each and every paella I’ve ever had — where I was, who served it, how hot or breezy the day was, the sound of the waves or of laundry flapping on an airy patio, the bright design made by the lemon and peppers adorning the steaming rice. That’s because a paella is a full sensory experience, the kind that gets etched in you forever.Usually cooked outdoors over a charcoal or wood barbecue or a gas ring, the making of paella is as much a social and sensory experience as the consumption of the dish. The more people standing around commenting on whether the rice is getting too burnt or is not done enough, the better.This vegetarian version is perhaps my favorite of all. The rich umami flavor of leeks and mushrooms has floored many of my guests when they find out it has not a single morsel of seafood or meat. Not having to stop and open a clam or peel a shrimp means more time to just enjoy everyone’s favorite part — the rice.This recipe, which serves eight people, is made ...

Preview: ‘Immortals of Aveum’ is more than just ‘Call of Duty’ with magic instead of bullets

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:42 GMT

Some of the best fantasy and sci-fi are created when genres mix. “Star Wars” is heavy on swashbuckling sci-fi, but it melds that with fantasy elements through Force-using space wizards. “Warhammer 40,000” presents a darker and grittier take on the distant future, but it’s one that also includes star-traveling elves and orcs.The fledgling Ascendant Studios has its own take on the fantasy genre. It’s mixing swords and sorcery with a military shooter in “Immortals of Aveum.” Players will be trading guns for the ability to shoot magic from their fingertips, but don’t mistake this for fantasy “Call of Duty,” the title does more with its themes and settings than just replacing bullets for mana.THE STORY OF JAKIn “Immortals of Aveum,” players take on the role of Jak, a street urchin who manifests his abilities late in life as an Unforeseen. Not only is he a later bloomer, but he has the rare ability to wield all ...

Climate Change and Conflict Are Wreaking Havoc in Somalia

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:31:42 GMT

Al-Hidaya Camp for Displaced Persons, MOGADISHU, Somalia — Nurta Hassan Ebow held her hand over her daughter’s face, shielding her from the sun. As the temperature neared 90 degrees, the tiny child, who has never known a permanent home, lay motionless. Two months ago, Ebow gave birth to her on the road, after fleeing her village in the Lower Shabelle region of southwest Somalia. They had only made it to this camp on the outer fringe of Somalia’s capital the night before we spoke earlier this month.“We had to leave because of the drought and the conflict,” said Ebow, 25, referring to the current offensive by the Somali government against the terrorist group al-Shabab. “We had no food. Our livestock is dead.” Their first night at the camp, Ebow and three of her children slept in a makeshift shelter. When we spoke on May 10, they were waiting for their own small wood-and-plastic-tarp bivouac there.The Horn of Africa is experiencing a historic drought, one of the worst in six decades. A...
