It has been a wild ride for 4 Bells, the Southern-leaning eatery at the edge of Loring Park that first officially opened in 2015. The restaurant replaced the former occupant of the address, Joes Garage after undergoing a massive renovation. The construction took long enough that the opening chef and business partner departed between announcing the plan (and an original name of The Triton) before finally opening with three dining levels, front and rear patio space, two kitchens, and a gorgeous year-round rooftop space.

Begun as a partnership between the ownership of Butcher and the Boar, Tim Rooney and Doug Van Winkle along with Joes Garage owner Joe Kaplan, the restaurant was described as, a seemingly endless series of welcoming spaces. The menu was Southern styled with plenty of Lowcountry nodes, seafood, and a much beloved fried chicken.

Sadly, Rooney passed away in 2017.

More recently, chef Scott Pampuch had taken over the kitchen in 2019 and revived life into the menu with hearty brunches, a chefs counter, and the return of the fried chicken - that had inexplicably been taken off the menu.

Today Mpls/St. Paul Magazine made note that all of the restaurants social media pages have been deleted, and that the restaurant will not return to business after the coronavirus restrictions are lifted. The restaurants website says it has closed indefinitely and that any outstanding private events should contact management.

Shortly before 11 p.m., Rogersville police responded to a residence on Park Boulevard Circle on a report of a man beating on the door asking to come in.

By the time Officer Wesley Seals arrived, the man was gone, but Seals located a gold 1999 Toyota Camry wedged between a back porch of the residence and a retaining wall.

The alleged driver, Eric William Squirrel Rector, 37, of White Pine, was located in the nearby Hardees restaurant parking lot by Hawkins County Sheriffs Office Deputy Casey Carter and taken into custody.

Seals stated in his report that video surveillance from the ABB plant at 100 Baldor Drive revealed that Rector was the driver of a gold Toyota Camry that was being sought by police that evening after it passed through the plant security checkpoint without stopping earlier that night.

Rector then allegedly exited the site by crashing through a locked metal gate at the opposite end of the property.

When police searched the Camry, they reportedly observed a syringe on the drivers side floorboard and a glasses case under the seat that contained meth in two separate baggies as well as two more syringes, a Buprenorphine pill and other drug paraphernalia.

A pill bottle with four more Buprenorphine pills was found in the center console.

Rector, whose license has been revoked since 2010, was charged with two counts of failure to give immediate notice of an accident, possession of meth, possession of Schedule III narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving on a revoked license, and no insurance.

As of Friday, he remained held in the Hawkins County Jail without bond pending arraignment in Sessions Court Monday morning.

PORTLAND, Maine An anonymous, spray-painted mural appeared on a retaining wall beneath the sewage treatment plant on the East End this week. The yards-long image is a thank you card to essential workers still on the job amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

Dedicated to the helpers and the heroes, it simply reads thank you in 6-foot-high letters on a purple background. On the sides of the written words are cartoon depictions of some of those heroes and helpers.

A mural thanking essential workers adorns a retaining wall below Portland's sewage processing plant on the East End on Tuesday.

The 100-foot wall is a city-sanctioned surface for spray-can graffiti artists. In 2016 it bore a controversial depiction of then Gov. Paul LePage in Ku Klux Klan regalia. The city refused to remove it citing the First Amendment, but it sparked a controversy over the wall that spilled into 2017. Ultimately the city and the Portland Water District, which operates the sewage treatment plant, decided to keep the wall open to artists.

New Knicks President Leon Rose decided to exercise leftover GM Scott Perrys option for next year, which was a mistake.

The New York Knicks took another plunge in renovating their front office after the reassignment of Steve Mills and the hiring of Leon Rose to the role of President of Basketball Operations. Last week, the Knicks hired Cavaliers salary cap expert Brock Aller to a high-ranking role, which was met with praise due to Allers role in some of Clevelands salary cap maneuvers to re-acquire LeBron James.

The latest move, however, will be met with confusion from the basketball world and the Knicks fanbase.

On Wednesday, Newsdays Steve Popper reported that the New York Knicks would retain General Manager Scott Perry for the 202021 season, amidst front office turnover. There were concerns that the new team president, Rose, would move on from Perry after replacing Mills, who was reassigned to a non-basketball role on February 4th.

It feels as if the Knicks are wasting another chance to make a true change among their front office and roster.

Since hiring Perry to the GM role on July 14, 2017, the Knicks have failed to win more than 30 games in any of his three seasons there. While their draft pick selections have been buoyed by the selection of Mitchell Robinson in the second round of the 2018 draft, Kevin Knoxthe eighth overall pick of the same draftremains one of the worst players in the league.

Under Perry and Mills watch, the Knicks have failed to develop two lottery picks and 2019 first-round pick R.J. Barrett during his abbreviated rookie season. That, and the 2019 offseason, remain an abomination to team construction, as the Knicks spent close to $70 million on new players, winning just four more games than the previous campaign.

SNYs Ian Begley suggested that the move was based more on the relationship between Perry and Leon Rose, leading back to the Carmelo Anthony trade of September 2017.

Take a closer look at Perrys track record and the question looms larger: Why are the Knicks saving a front office member who has lacked success in any of his previous two tenures?

With Perry as the second in command to Rob Hennigan, the Orlando Magic hit on two of their four draft picks (Victor Oladipo and Aaron Gordon) and the former didnt truly develop until his departure from the franchise. In his three-month stint in Sacramento, Perry oversaw the selection of franchise point guard DeAron Fox but clogged the roster with failed veteran moves like Vince Carter, Zach Randolph, and George Hill.

Its hard to divvy up the blame among front office members, but while Scott Perry has been the second-in-command in his previous stops, theres no track record over the last decade to suggest that he should be in charge of anything outside of being a voice in the draft room, where his success has been hit or miss recently. Placing him in a GM role, even with Rose at the top of the food chain, is a lackluster move.

The bigger, underlying issue here is the lack of initiative by New York, Leon Rose, and ownership in truly revamping this front office. Instead of conducting an actual search and loading up on talented front-office members, the Knicks remain aloof, continuing to eschew a true talent search for hiring people based solely on past relationships.

The general manager position is important to the team presidents role because of Roses inexperience. Rose needs to solidify his front office with experienced front-office members who have succeeded in multiple aspects. Aller has had success as a salary cap expert, which will assist in rebuilding the roster around a group of young talent. The decision to retain Perry doesnt do much for that. Even his recent draft record has been spotty at best.

The New York Knicks have an important offseason ahead of them and so far, mistakes have been made when it comes to renovating the front office. The decision to offer Leon Rose the job before interviewing anyone else was puzzling at the time, but one can justify it based on the trend of former agents-led front offices and Roses power during his tenure as an agent. The decision to retain and extend Scott Perry after one of the worst seasons in Knicks history is confounding.

Deciding to keep Perry as the GM after a dubious free-agency haul this past offseason and lackluster draft selections is a puzzling move from Leon Rose and the New York Knicks.

I-66 Lane Closures and Traffic Changes, Week of May 3 - Prince William Living

After weeks of getting creative to stave off cabin fever backyard grass skiing, living room campouts, retaining wall rappels, neighborhood trip reports Washingtons outdoor adventurers finally have some good news. On May 5, some state parks and public lands will reopen for day use, with a list expected by the end of this week, Gov. Jay Inslee announced at a Monday news conference, where he also signaled that hunting, fishing and golf can resume.

Outdoor recreation is one of the best things people can do to promote their health, both mental and physical, during this time of isolation, Inslee said.

But as hikers lace up their boots and mountain bikers pump up their tires, this early experiment with resuming everyday activities in the midst of a pandemic will look and feel different. For starters, outdoor events and camping remain prohibited. Dont expect to roast smores over a fire at Deception Pass State Park or compete in a trail running race at Moran State Park for the foreseeable future.

There were also no new announcements Monday about national forests and national parks, where most of Washingtons most prized outdoor destinations are located.

Catherine Caruso, a spokesperson for the Pacific Northwest unit of the U.S. Forest Service, said, We dont have a timeline we can announce today but indicated that Inslees announcement would allow the federal agency, which oversees most of the hiking terrain in the Cascades and some in the Olympics, to begin putting in place its own plans to reopen trailheads that have been closed since March 27. (Gifford Pinchot National Forest closed so-called developed sites on April 9.)

Washingtons three national parks also closed shortly after Inslees March 23 stay-at-home order. Decisions on a phased resumption of operations will be made on a park-by-park basis and regularly monitored, said North Cascades National Park chief of visitor services Denise Shultz. Olympic National Park spokesperson Penny Wagner referred The Seattle Times to President Trumps Opening Up America Again plan but offered no specifics. Mount Rainier National Park officials did not immediately return a request for comment.

On the county level,We have been working through phased-in reopening scenarios for some King County Parks locations, likely starting with natural lands and regional trails, said Logan Harris, a spokesperson for King County Parks, which include popular trail destinations like Rattlesnake Mountain and parts of the Issaquah Alps.

How should hikers, bikers and equestrians behave on the public lands that will soon open? Largely the way we were asked to behave in March, when public health measures like physical distancing were brand new. On Monday, Inslee encouraged Washingtonians to stick with day trips with household members and not to meet up with hiking buddies.

Be prepared has never been more important: Pack extra hand soap, hand sanitizer and toilet paper. Dont expect bathroom facilities to be open. Skip the aprs-hike brewery stop and bring your own food and drink to avoid visiting businesses far from home. That recommendation is a bitter pill for local economies, but another public health necessity to minimize the risk of viral transmission between communities. The face mask or at least a bandana that can be pulled over your face may become the 11th essential on the trail.

The Washington Trails Association (WTA) was out in the lead during the confusing days of late March when state residents struggled to parse how they should apply Inslees Stay Home, Stay Healthy order to their everyday lives. With the impending reopenings, they are ready to lift the lockdown rule of thumb that if you have to drive to the trailhead, its too far.

The real challenge is going to be showing that we can use our trails safely and responsibly, said WTA director Jill Simmons.

Overcrowding on trails, once just an annoyance, is now a public health liability that could lead to public land access being shut down again.

The good news, Simmons said, is that we now have a much better understanding of the importance of social distancing and what that looks like than we did early on. Expect to see downhill hikers stepping aside when its safe to do so without trampling fragile vegetation to allow uphill hikers to pass at a 6-foot distance and for hikers to pull bandanas over their faces when passing. Above all, Simmons said, communication is key. Now more than ever, verbally signal to another party how you intend to pass on the trail.

Im hoping folks will get the hang of what its like to hike with social distance, she said. Its going to be a tough balance.

WTA hopes its extensive trail library will encourage hikers to get creative beyond the usual, crowded suspects.

If youre walking down the road quite a ways to get to a trailhead, thats probably an indication the trail is too full, Simmons said, adding that personally, she is anxious to return to Dosewallips State Park and eventually the Olympic National Forest, to get lost in mossy dales far from the crowd.

Crowding at the few remaining outdoor recreation options drove Bellingham-based professional mountain biker and Olympic medalist Jill Kintner indoors to train. She curtailed her riding in nearby Galbraith Mountain Bike Park, which did not close, to off-hour sessions solo or with her husband.

Opening more land access to keep people apart will be great, she said. It was a bit of zoo, [everyone] flocked to the very few things that were open.

Kintner has been sticking to easy trails. Ive dialed it back because some of my favorite trails are pretty aggressive and technical, but its not worth having to go to the hospital, she said. I dont mind keeping it chill for a while.

That same mindset will apply at higher elevations for Tom Vogl, CEO of The Mountaineers, who was eager to make a ski ascent of Mount Baker this summer but is prepared for that goal to be off the table. Under normal conditions, if the weather and overall conditions were good, you might take some additional risks to meet a given objective, he said. This is one of the times where stepping back our level of risk is more prudent.

The Mountaineers had to cancel all in-person classes and trips and restrict use of its well-equipped Seattle Program Center. The 114-year-old outing club continues to adjust its offerings holding knot tying seminars via videoconference and will continue to incorporate safety measures for instance, individual tents instead of share tents on overnight trips when in-person activities finally return.

Were going to try and be as creative as we can while maintaining our focus on safety, Vogl said. Were all going to have to be patient with our land managers and government officials.

Similar adjustments will be necessary for trail work, which takes advantage of spring, summer and fall to maintain existing trails and build new ones.

The Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance is already a month behind on planned work to build new trails at Port Gamble Heritage Park, Tiger Mountain State Forest, Raging River State Park, and No. 2 Canyon outside Wenatchee. The statewide organization hopes to restart these volunteer efforts next month with smaller crews of one to two people.

How we introduce that back in a sustainable and safe way has taken some thought, executive director Yvonne Kraus said. Engaging volunteers for work parties is no doubt going to look different than how it has been in the past, from group size to shared food to carpooling.

Among the most controversial outdoor-activity restrictions lifted Monday was a statewide ban on recreational hunting and fishing, which prompted Let Us Fish rallies across the state, including one Sunday on Lake Union.

Twisp resident Carmen Vanbianchi, a board member of the Washington chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, was more patient. Its been disappointing for people to have those activities restricted, she said. Everyone has to make sacrifices in this weird time.

Since opening in 1959, Daytona International Speedway has been the home of the Daytona 500, the most esteemed race in NASCAR. Many drivers have tried to take on the Daytona 500 title and succumbed to grave accidents their efforts.

Most recently Ryan Newman was involved in a very serious accident while fighting for the Daytona 500 win. Thankfully, he is recovering well and will be making his comeback soon. However, not everyone was this lucky.

40 individuals have been lethally harmed in on-track incidents. The list includes 23 car drivers, twelve motorcyclists, three go-kart drivers, one powerboat racer, and one track laborer. Here is a list of drivers who lost their lives fighting for the Daytona 500 winner title.

The most unfortunate demise may have been that of Dale Earnhardt, who was killed on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 on February 18, 2001. Going into the last turn, the back of Earnhardts Chevrolet Monte Carlo reached Sterling Marlins front guard, which caused Earnhardt to quickly slide towards the cover before shooting up the banking. Earnhardt died on the spot. However, he wasnt announced dead until his landing in Halifax Medical Center, caused by a Basilar Skull Fracture.

Dale was succeeded by his son Dale Earnhardt Jr who won the race twice during his career.

He was the 1993 NASCAR Goodys Dash Series champion and was a contender for the 94 Winston Cup. He was killed in an accident during the practice of the 1994 Daytona 500. While making a mock qualifying run he spun entering the turn two. His car lifted up in the air and slammed heavily into the outside retaining wall roof first at over 175 mph. He succumbed to his injuries right on the track.

He was a famous American NASCAR driver who won 18 races and 20 poles over his 18-year career. He was a famed TV personality with multiple TV appearances in movies and as a commentator for CBS, TBS, and TNN in the years until his death. he had an accident during the first practice session for the 1994 Daytona 500. A surprise mechanical failure caused him to lose control of his Chevrolet on the tracks high-banked fourth turn. The car smashed into the track apron, and then up the steep bank before crashing into the wall. He didnt survive the incident.

The track was conceptualized in 1959 by NASCAR founder William Bill France, Sr. The idea was to have a racing track which would be an improvement over the Daytona Beach Road Course. The tracks legendary banking design allows for higher speeds and give fans a superior view of the track action.

Top Drivers Who Lost Their Lives Fighting For The Daytona 500 Title - Essentially Sports

Aged just 34 at the time, the Williams driver was, then as he is now, considered to be one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, winning 41 races and three championships over a 10-year Grand Prix career. But hand in hand with his success went humility, and no-one knows that to be truer than Erik Comas, whose life Senna undoubtedly saved during qualifying for the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix.

When the Frenchman crashed into the barriers at Spa-Francorchamps Blanchimont corner at close to 200mph, he was rendered unconscious, his foot pinning down the accelerator and an explosion becoming ever more likely as the seconds ticked on. As other drivers wound their way around the wreck, Senna stopped his car on the live circuit, ran to the wreckage and searched frantically for Comass Ligier engine cut-off switch, before supporting his opponents head until the medical crew arrived.

Comas later credited Senna with likely saving his life, but in a cruel twist of fate was unable to do the same when he came upon Sennas crash less than two years later. In an interview years after the accident, Comas said: When I just arrived it looked like a bomb had exploded in Tamburello. There was a very strange atmosphere in that area and without knowing the details at that moment, I knew that something very bad had happened.

A certain paralysis hit me because I was standing next to the man who had saved me from death two years earlier. At that moment there was nothing I could do and I felt terrible. I had the feeling that I came too late, I am not a doctor but I knew that he was in much worse shape than me in Belgium two years earlier.
