AUSTIN (KXAN) -- On Thursday, the Austin City Council approved a plan to bring back retired police officers to work special events, like Austin City Limits and the Austin Marathon, as the Austin Police Department faces a staffing crisis.Those officers will go through training and are required to have retired honorably, meaning they didn't leave under investigation, according to the council.“I think that we’re at a point with our staffing at the police department where we need all the help we can get,” Council Member Mackenzie Kelly said earlier this week, “and by creating a reserve police officer program, we will get additional officers who’ve previously worked for the department and are retired and able to assist with the staffing needs.” PREVIOUS STORY: Austin City Council to vote on creating ‘police reserve’ of retired officers for events It’s something even a co-founder of the Austin Justice Coalition, APD’s self-prescribed “harshest critic,” said he can get behind.All tempora...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Can I use my neighbor's pool when they're on vacation?

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Marlene and it's about swimming. Here's her email. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have great neighbors that often invite us over to use the pool on a hot day. It's very kind of them. Well, they went on vacation to Europe for two weeks, and the weather has been very humid. About two years ago they gave us the key to their fence because they were expecting a delivery and wanted us to open it up.  We still have that key, and we're thinking of using it to go in the pool for a swim.  We know they don't mind us swimming there because, as I said, they've invited us. So, do you think it's okay for me and the kids to just jump in to cool off while they're away? Let me know what you think? It's hot! Thanks.MarleneI admit, not proudly, that when we were kids, we would do this. Not my parents, just us kids. Everyone did back then. But these days....absolute...

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:19:12 GMT

Roman Harper picked up the phone on a sweltering 2006 summer day and called home.The rookie’s first NFL training camp had just started and he wasn’t sure how he was going to make it through.“I don’t know if I want to do this anymore,” the New Orleans defensive back told his dad, listening on the other end of the line.“Just look at that check they just cut you,” the newly minted second-round pick’s father responded.Fair enough. But Harper, a central part of first-time head coach Sean Payton’s inaugural draft class, was just learning what he and the other Saints were in for.“We were in Jackson, Mississippi, it was hot every day, it didn’t rain, there was no days off,” Harper told The Post recently. “We were practicing at Millsaps College, where the facilities weren’t great. The turf field was like 114 degrees. It was melting cleats. We had to go uphill like 100 yards to another practice field or 150-200 yards to get to the down field. For rookies it was like a mile walk, the inc...

Editor’s note: Tenth in a series previewing the Broncos’ position groups entering training camp. Today, safety.On the roster (seven): Kareem Jackson, P.J. Locke, Justin Simmons, JL Skinner, Caden Sterns, Delonte Hood, Delarrin Turner-Yell, Devon KeyHow many on the 53?: Four. Maybe five.Most impactful offseason move: Bringing back JacksonThe Broncos improved their depth in the secondary in May when they brought back Jackson on a one-year deal. His return gives the Broncos a dependable player who can be another veteran presence in the locker room. Despite Jackson being 35, he has proven he can still be a durable and productive player. Last season, he led the Broncos in defensive snaps (1,139) while recording the third-most tackles (94) in 17 games. Jackson has started in 61 games since 2019.Biggest question to answer in camp: Who takes the other starting safety job: Sterns or Jackson?Sterns has what it takes to start alongside Simmons.

Letters: Packing the U.S. Supreme Court: Equal justice under law, more or less?

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:19:12 GMT

Equal justice under law, more or less?I am writing to urge you to join me in supporting the Keep the Nine Amendment and to express my concern about the many attempts to undermine the authority of the Supreme Court. As a fundamental part of our judicial system, one that protects our rights and upholds democracy, an independent judiciary system is crucial to our democracy.Court-packing poses a serious threat to our democracy. By tampering with the composition of the court, it damages the credibility of the court, allowing for political opinions to influence decisions. Such actions will have significant consequences that could undermine the integrity of the court.The Keep the Nine Amendment, proposed in Congress by Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., aims to address this fundamental issue, and it has gained support from over 200 members of Congress and 800 state legislators who are committed to preserving the current Supreme Court composition.I hope your audience will participate and show supp...
