Migrant summer school in Centralia aims to give head start The children make moves at least every three years to accompany their parents or guardians who are migratory workers, reported The Chronicle (http://bit.ly/2bh4y0a). The large number of moves and other responsibilities at home make it difficult for the students to graduate, said Shelley Habenicht, the school district's director of special programs and assistance.

Brother’s girlfriend fact-checks everything we say How should I respond to someone who keeps her smartphone on and “fact-checks” anything that is mentioned in a group conversation? Whether what Marla is doing is rude would depend upon why she feels compelled to fact-check during a conversation. If she does it as a form of one-upmanship, it’s rude. If that’s not the reason, she may do it out of insecurity or a desire to participate in the conversation. Last year, I gave her some simple coloring books and crayons... Читать дальше...

Normally the party wouldn't make a play, the Republican presidential nominee told those at an evening rally inside a sweltering Fairfield gym. Trump's sojourn into Connecticut on Saturday raised eyebrows among many Republicans nervous about his slipping poll numbers in a series of key swing states and battlegrounds — and even some usual GOP turf. The wealthy southern coast of Connecticut, made up of tony New York City suburbs, has long been fertile fundraising ground and Trump held an event nearby before the rally. Читать дальше...

(AP) — Emergency crews plucked motorists from cars stranded by high water along a seven-mile stretch of south Louisiana interstate, pulled others from inundated homes and waist-deep waters and braced for more of the dangerous work Sunday after conducting at least 2,000 rescues. Pounding rains swamped parts of southeast Louisiana so that whole subdivisions and shopping centers appeared isolated by floodwaters, which have claimed at least three lives. The governor toured flood-ravaged areas by helicopter... Читать дальше...

(AP) — A fast-moving wildfire threatened scores of homes at a Northern California lake community that was evacuated because of a devastating nearby wildfire last year. Authorities issued four evacuation orders for an unknown number of homes Saturday as the wildfire south of Lower Lake, a town of about 1,300, spread to at least 600 acres. Firefighters aided by water- and retardant-dropping air tankers were trying to keep the fire away from homes north of the lake, said Suzie Blankenship, a spokeswoman... Читать дальше...

U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz says his win in the Hawaii primary is a validation of all the hard work he has done on behalf of the state, and he looks forward to continuing a robust campaign into the general election. If he wins the election in November, Schatz says he will continue to focus on combatting global warming by making the United States a global leader on clean energy. Inouye's dying wish was to have U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa take the spot, but Abercrombie instead chose Schatz, his lieutenant governor. Читать дальше...

MILWAUKEE (AP) — City leaders pleaded for calm after violence erupted for several hours Saturday night on Milwaukee's north side following a man's fatal shooting by police earlier in the day, with the mayor imploring parents of anyone at the scene to "get them home right now" after at least four businesses burned and one officer was hurt. At a news conference just after midnight, Mayor Tom Barrett said the situation appeared to be calming after a riotous scene in which as many as 100 protesters skirmished with police...

The desperate-for-offense Giants got some key hits and beat the Orioles 6-2 on Saturday night, even though Crawford’s bat remained in Cooperstown. Denard Span had a pair of two-out, two-run singles to help Madison Bumgarner get his first win since July 10, exactly what was ordered by manager Bruce Bochy, who preached about producing with runners in scoring position. Brandon Belt took it a step further in the seventh inning with a two-run homer into the arcade that gave the Giants a 6-0 lead. “With guys’ track records... Читать дальше...

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Standing atop the medal podium for the 23rd time, Michael Phelps teared up, bit his lip and gave a little nod. Phelps put the United States ahead to stay on the butterfly leg of the 4x100-meter medley relay, giving the most decorated athlete in Olympic history his 23rd career gold medal Saturday night. He plans to marry Johnson after the Olympics and said he wants to watch his son grow, maybe even dole out a swimming lesson or two. The comeback endured a huge setback with his second drunken-driving arrest in 2014... Читать дальше...

At least four buildings were burned and one officer was hurt as up to 100 protesters skirmished with police. Footage from a news helicopter also appeared to show a small grocery store had been looted. Читать дальше...

Could moving up in A’s order help Marcus Semien’s average? Shortstop Marcus Semien has good power, with 23 homers, and his defense has improved this season, but his batting average has been in the .230s much of the season. Semien has hit ninth most of the year, but with Jed Lowrie on the disabled list, he’s getting more time batting second. “When you hit down in the lineup and the middle-of-the-order guys are on base, it’s your job to knock them in, it’s more production,” Melvin said, and in the two-spot it’s a little different.

Turns out, the less-than-glittering times at the U.S. trials were no indication of how fast they would swim once they got to the big stage. [...] all those who thought they were too inexperienced to shine on the international stage totally missed the mark.

In what he again insists will be his final Olympics, the 31-year-old piled up five golds and a silver... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Police in New York City are searching for the man who fatally shot the leader of a mosque and a friend as they left afternoon prayers, setting off fear and anguish among the community's Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants. "There's nothing in the preliminary investigation to indicate that they were targeted because of their faith," said Deputy Inspector Henry Sautner of the New York Police Department. Members of the Bangladeshi Muslim community served by the mosque said they want the shootings to be treated as a hate crime. Читать дальше...

Saturday, he hit his 29th homer of the season in Oakland’s 4-3 loss to the Mariners, and he appears poised to finish with the A’s best power numbers maybe going back as far as 2006, when Nick Swisher hit 35 and Frank Thomas 39. “He’s one of the few guys in the game who only needs to touch the ball and get it in the air and he can hit home runs,” Melvin said. Davis’ homer total is an ongoing career high, as is his RBI total of 73. Over his past 161 games, Davis has hit 49 homers and driven in 114 runs, dating back to Aug. Читать дальше...

George Atkinson III found the expressway Friday night, and if he keeps doing that, it’s going to be hard for the Raiders to keep the running back off the 53-man roster. With the Cardinals’ defense leaning one way in the preseason opener, Atkinson bounced a running play outside, making a defender miss. When receiver Joe Hansley took out another defender with a block, Atkinson had reached the right sideline, the expressway. The 53-yard touchdown run in the third quarter was only the start for the running back... Читать дальше...

Firefighters were working from the ground and air Saturday night to prevent the spread of a small wildfire outside the community of Lower Lake, just north of where last year’s deadly Valley Fire roared through Lake County.

Fagg told the newspaper that while he's disappointed Boelter hasn't been in the office as much, her absence really hasn't affected the office. Deputy County Attorney Kevin Gillen said elected county officials may not be required to be in the office as long as they perform their duties.
