For 48 years, Dave Matson has been making the rounds, mowing lawns. Maybe youve seen him in downtown Salt Lake City on his riding mower, going between the roughly 50 lawns hes responsible for maintaining.

My doctor says its good physical therapy, Matson said, which is important, because Dave was born with cerebral palsy.

Back in 1992, Matson started selling flowers to make a little extra money, which has earned him the nickname Dave The Flower Guy when hes appeared on X96s Radio From Hell Show every Friday for the past 22 years to pick the Boner of the Week awarded to the stupidest or worst person in the news.

Since he was 14, Matson lived with his stepmother, Erma, who raised him after his father, Jerry, died of a brain tumor. Erma worked as an elevator operator at the Hotel Utah and then, for a long time, as a nursing assistant at a nursing home, where she and Jerry first met, according to her sister, Donna Elcock.

Dave and Erma shared a one-bedroom apartment, living off their respective Social Security checks and the money Dave earned from his lawn-mowing and flower-selling jobs.

A few weeks ago, Dave came home to find his mother had fallen. He called an ambulance. Bloodwork taken at the hospital revealed she had acute leukemia and she was transferred to Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Ten days later, she died, leaving Matson on his own, really for the first time in his 61 years, and in a tough spot financially.

My Social Security is only $750 and my rent is a thousand bucks, Matson said, so I gotta get a cheaper place.

Elcock said she and her husband, who live in Wyoming, have tried to line her nephew up with some additional assistance, but ran into programs with enrollment freezes in place or other dead ends.

Matson doesnt want to leave the city where hes grown up. People support me here, he told me when we spoke, before he headed out to mow a couple more lawns.

I really feel like he could be alone, Elcock said, but I just wish there was some kind of help he could get.

His friends from Radio From Hell launched a GoFundMe page for Matson and listeners and friends have rallied to help in other ways, as well, a testament to the kind of person Dave is, Bill Allred, co-host of the morning show, told me.

If you were just to judge him after 30 seconds of talking he would seem to have everything against him, Allred said. He has difficulty walking, he has difficulty talking sometimes, just getting the words out. He obviously has some disability and he would be easy to dismiss.

But if you give him a second, hes the most relentlessly upbeat, positive, hard-working, honest person that you would ever come in contact with.

He gets up and he goes every single day, his aunt said. I think my sister was always a real positive person even though they didnt have very much, and I think hes like that too.

Its inspiring to see a community rally around Dave but it shouldnt have to be this way.

We live in a state where people help their family and neighbors, and thats a good thing, Andrew Riggle, an advocate with the Disability Law Center, told me. But it means often people dont get connected with the social services and support systems available and they dont know what to do when like in Daves situation they lose that support.

Add to that the fact that Utahs system to help disabled individuals is badly underfunded. By the most recent estimate, there are more than 3,600 Utahns on the waiting list to receive services from the states Division of Services for People with Disabilities, and the waiting list has grown by about 1,500 in the past six years. The average wait is five years.

The gaps in the system have become more acute during the pandemic, Riggle said. It has made it much more difficult to provide face-to-face services or assistance in group settings.

One of our concerns is that individuals may be losing out on opportunities for education, for community engagement, for all these different opportunities, Riggle said.

The Legislatures solution is asking voters to approve Amendment G to the constitution, which would allow lawmakers to spend education funds on social services but in reality it just pits disabled Utahns against schools and doesnt guarantee any added funds for either.

We need a real solution, and that means adequate funding. GoFundMe campaigns and relying on the goodwill of our community cant fill the gaps in our frayed social safety net. And until we get serious about the issue, people like Dave are going to keep falling through those gaps.

If youd like to help Dave The Flower Guy, you can contribute through the X96 GoFundMe page. If you would like adequate funding for social services for Utahns with disabilities, vote.

The Greater Brewton Area Chamber of Commerce is in the final planning stages for this years Porch Fest.

The event will take place on the porches of homes along historic Belleville Avenue on Saturday, November 7.

Performances will begin at 2 p.m. and continue until 8 p.m.

Judy Crane, Chamber Executive Director, said the group is working out the final performance line up, with the main act ready to take the stage.

We are working on which performers will be on which porches for the day, Crane said. But we do know that our main act, Tobacco Rd., will take the main stage at 6 p.m. and perform until 8 p.m.

The main stage will be set up at the Downing House in its usual spot, Crane said.

With many events being canceled across the country, Crane said special precautions are being taken for this event.

We want to do these kinds of things for the public, but we need their help to make that happen, Crane said.

There will be hand-washing stations set up throughout the festival area, Crane said.

We are asking that everyone practice social distancing as much as possible, Crane said. We also encourage masks for this event.

For those looking for a little refreshment during the event, there will be concessions available, Crane said.

The police department, fire department, Battered by the Bay and Kona Ice will be on hand for concessions, Crane said.

The annual event usually hosts a kids area, but, Crane said, that will not be available for this year.

We are doing our best to make this a safe event, Crane said. With the Corona virus, we agreed that it would be safer not to offer a kids area this year.

Along with Tobacco Rd., singer/songwriters, Brooke Brown and Buddy Barnes will be performing. Others will be performing through the district and will include a variety of musical genres. There is no admission charge to enjoy the musical presentations.

A detailed list of performers and their performance locations will be released in the coming days, Crane said.

When Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected as pope in 2013 at the age of 76 and took the name Francis in memory of St Francis of Assisi (1181 or 1182-1226), a beloved relative proclaimed: Pope Francis is not just going back to St Francis. He is going all the way back to Jesus and the gospel of love and mercy.

Throughout his papacy Pope Francis has emphasised the priority of love and mercy, and the radical dignity of and respect for all human beings, especially those marginalised and stigmatised. Like St Francis, the poor are at the heart of his priestly and papal ministry.

Pope Francis pastoral, warm and compassionate leadership has manifested itself in myriad ways, sometimes controversially. In the past few weeks, he has again provoked the conscience of the world and his church.

He recently released Fratelli Tuti, his latest encyclical, on fraternity and social friendship, inspired by St Francis and his abiding commitment to care for creation and the poor. He signed the new encyclical at the tomb of St Francis.

Pope Francis noted: I was in Assisi to sign the new encyclical, Fratelli tutti, on fraternity and social friendship. I offered it to God on the tomb of Saint Francis

The encyclical and its critique of the degradation of the planet, rampant materialism, vast global inequality, the various forms of rapacious capitalism, the mistreatment of migrants and minorities and other manifestations of discrimination, among other topics, provoked criticism from various quarters, including some corporate interests who benefit from an unjust social order.

In the encyclical, Pope Francis also sought to provoke the consciences of the rich and middle classes and how we all use the worlds goods and care for or abuse the environment through our personal and social habits, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and the global climate emergency, both of which are devastating the poor.

Like Jesus and St Francis, Pope Francis invites us to feel the sting of conscience and the demands of love and justice.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church has pressed the demands of racial equality, spoken of how the arms race continues to deprive the poor of basic goods and consistently spoken out against capital punishment and inequities in criminal justice.

There is a seamless gospel of love and mercy in the heart of Pope Francis. The call to fraternity and social friendship evidenced in Fratelli Tuti, is the same spirituality and love for those who are discriminated against, such as gays and lesbians. For Pope Francis, love must be the animating force of our being and our attitudes and actions.

FAMILY

Yesterday, as noted in an Associated Press story: Pope Francis became the first pontiff to endorse same-sex civil unions in comments for a documentary that premiered Wednesday, sparking cheers from gay Catholics and demands for clarification from conservatives, given the Vaticans official teaching on the issue.

The papal thumbs-up came midway through the feature-length documentary Francesco, which premiered at the Rome Film Festival.

Pope Francis stated: Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God. You cant kick someone out of a family, nor make their life miserable for this. What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered.

The Popes comments are remarkable and will stir considerable reaction. They are reminiscent of other comments he has made about love for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.

In 2013, on a flight back to Rome from Brazil, Pope Francis sparked controversy in response to questions as to whether there was a gay lobby in the Vatican. He responded in part: If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?

His fellow Jesuit Fr. James Martin, SJ, noted in a commentary at the time in The Washington Post in response to criticism of the Pope, including from various prelates and some religionists:

Throughout the exchange on the plane, Pope Francis, speaking in fluent Italian, used the English word gay. Previous popes and the majority of church leaders have been more likely to use words like homosexual, homosexually oriented and even persons suffering from same-sex attraction.

The pope moved rather quickly from a question about a gay lobby in the Vatican to a comment about gay people in general. That is, he did not say, If a gay priest is searching for God, but If a gay person is searching for God. Then his remarkably compassionate comment: Who am I to judge them?

Fr Martin continued: So there is something new. ... But there is also something old. Pope Francis has not changed church teaching on homosexual activity. ... Instead, he turned to a portion of the old teaching that often goes overlooked: The Catechism says that gays and lesbians are to be treated with respect, compassion and sensitivity.

HYPOCRITE

Even older is the unwillingness to judge... Jesus uses hyperbole to make sure his listeners understand, saying that you must take the log out of your own eye before you can take the speck... from another persons eye. In other words, if you want to judge someone, judge yourself. And just to be clear, Jesus adds: You hypocrite!

Fr Martin directly addressed the question of judging: The pope also knows that Jesuss comment does not mean any of us will escape judgment. The Gospels are greatly concerned with judging moral activity... Gods judgment of our actions means that God is concerned about what we do. A God who doesnt judge is a God who doesnt care.

But in the Gospels, it is God (or Jesus) who does the judging, not us. Jesus counsels his disciples not to judge but rather to show mercy. Indeed, Jesus not only counsels this, he demonstrates it by consistently approaching public sinners with an offer of forgiveness rather than condemnation.

In 2013, when the Pope demonstrated this love for and compassion toward gays and lesbians, some religious ministers at home called him reckless. He is in good company. Both St Francis and Jesus were also reckless with extraordinary acts of love.

Gays and lesbians are not so much seeking an affirmation of their so-called lifestyle a derisive terms often applied by homophobes and those ignorant about many aspects of human sexuality as much as they are seeking and rightly deserving of an affirmation of a shared humanity.

While prejudice, ignorance and hatred are still directed against homosexuals, we have made moral progress in The Bahamas in terms of loving and seeking to protect from abuse and discrimination our gay brothers and sisters. But we still have a long way to go to ensure greater justice and equality for gays and lesbians.

Pope Francis has called on the peoples and nations of the world to search their hearts, consciences and legal codes to root out injustice and to secure love and mercy for all of Gods children, including those who are gay and lesbian, and who will continue to demand justice and equality.

FRONT PORCH: Pope Francis and the Gospel of Love - Bahamas Tribune

Walter Scott, 15 months, takes his responsibilities seriously.

When youre the junior feline in the family and in charge of entertainment, mischief and cuddles, its a full-time job and then some.

Knowing that Thor, the senior tabby in the clan, keeps a scornful eye on him, Walter adheres to a strict daily schedule.

His first job of the day is to assist Thor in obtaining breakfast. Around 7:30 a.m., they take their positions outside my bedroom door and commence polite requests for food. If none is forthcoming, Thor ratchets up the volume and intensity, while Walter sticks his paws under the door and grabs at the carpet. If that doesnt work, they take turns scratching and banging on the door.

When I emerge, they both enter manic mode, careening through the house and dashing around the kitchen table. Then comes the wrestling.

I have to feed them in separate rooms, because Thor will wolf down his breakfast and finish Walters, too, and Walter will just sit and sadly watch his food disappear. Though he passively lets Thor take charge of food once its served, before it appears is another matter. As I dish up their kibble, Walter pounces on Thor, attempting epic takedowns.

Thor is a lover, not a fighter, so its a good thing hes bigger and has a longer reach. While Walter sizes up the best way to pin him, Thor bats him away. Undaunted, Walter stretches up into full Godzilla mode and tackles. Thor hisses, which scares both of us.

Im not sure why Walter decided this was his job, but Thor is not thrilled to find himself headlining these twice-daily bouts.

Walters next self-appointed chore of the day is sweeter morning cuddles with me.

I return to bed after feeding them, because I mean, its 7:30 (or 8, but still). By this time, Derek is getting ready for work, so Walter has me all to himself. He jumps up on the bed, lays his head next to mine on my pillow and curls up in my arms. He purrs contentedly, while kneading his sharp little claws under my chin. Usually, he falls asleep and sometimes so do I.

We take turns deciding when its time to get out of bed. If I dont have a deadline or an appointment, I doze until Walter brings me a toy and pats my face to let me know its playtime. If I get up first, I bring my coffee and my phone back to bed and check emails and messages. Walter fetches a toy because playtime is next on his agenda.

He usually brings a small white mouse with a rattle and bats it around until I throw it down the hall. Then he tears off and brings it back. Walter is a fetch champion until he gets bored.

After Im ready to face the day, Walter follows me to work in my downstairs office. His favorite thing is stalking the printer and waiting for it to whir to life. He doesnt grab the paper, he just likes the hunt.

He takes his editorial responsibilities seriously and prefers to plant himself in front of my screen or on my keyboard. Obviously, this is not an ideal working situation, at least not for me. I repeatedly scoop him up and put him on the floor until he gets the hint and wanders off to nap.

Im usually out in the afternoon, so Walter takes advantage of my absence to forage for carbs. Ive previously written about his carb addiction, and Im sad to report hes had a relapse. Weve taken to storing our bread in the microwave and securing any open chips, rolls or baked goods in a cupboard he cant open. All was well until one afternoon when I went to the pantry for dinner ingredients and found a bag of barbecue potato chips scattered on the floor.

It seems Sam had left the shopping bags on the floor instead of putting the items on the shelves, and Walter got the munchies. He tore open the bag, sampled a few chips, but evidently didnt care for their tang.

Bedtime brings a nightly dilemma.

My husband likes to sleep with me. So does Walter. Im usually in bed first, so Walter saunters in and makes himself comfortable. Then Derek arrives.

Okay, buddy, time to go, he says.

Walter rolls over on his back and looks at Derek. Upside-down kitty is universally irresistible, but Derek is made of sterner stuff.

Night, night, Walter, out you go, he says.

Walter stretches, then curls up next to me.

Finally, Derek scoops him up and takes him to the living room.

Just as we turn off the light, we hear a faint scratching at the door and the saddest, most forlorn meows.

Go to sleep, Walter, Derek says.

And eventually he does. After all, he knows he has a full slate of responsibilities awaiting him in the morning.

A Lancaster man charged with fatally shooting his neighbor earlier this month after an argument will face the accusations in court, prosecutors said Thursday.

Authorities said Geraldo Rosario shot Josean Martinez in the chest Oct. 3 after a confrontation on his porch on the 600 block of High Street. Martinez died of his injuries.

During a Tuesday preliminary hearing, Lancaster County District Judge Adam Witkonis ordered Rosario to face homicide and reckless endangerment charges in court, according to a news release from the Lancaster County District Attorneys Office.

Lancaster City police officers found Martinez wounded inside his High Street home, with Rosario kneeling over him.

Prosecutors said a child was outside at the time of the shooting and saw what happened.

Rosario is being held at Lancaster County Prison without bail. His formal arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 13.

TAMPA The people who investigate home package thefts are getting into the business of helping prevent them by offering to hold your online orders for you.

With the holiday shopping season approaching, the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office announced Monday that people can direct shipments to two of the sheriffs five Patrol Services offices from Nov. 9 through Dec. 21. The locations are the District 3 Office, 7202 Gunn Hwy, and District 5 Office, 10128 Windhorst Road.

Items will be accepted and safeguarded for free until residents can pick them up from a deputy at the front desk.

Package distribution times will be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. A government-issued photo identification card and an order tracking number will be required and packages must be less than 50 pounds.

An increase in package deliveries during the holiday season brings an increase in package thefts, the Sheriffs Office said in a news release. In 2019, there were 274 reports of package theft in Hillsborough County for more than $76,000 in losses to the victims.

Five hours after the Sheriffs Office announced the new service, it reported in a news release that a 31-year-old woman had been arrested Monday afternoon in connection with a package theft from a Riverview home caught on camera. The woman left on foot and changed her shirt to avoid detection, but was soon arrested. The package was recovered and returned.

The new service from the Sheriffs Office, dubbed Operation Pinch-A-Grinch, comes on the heels of steps taken by shippers to help reduce package thefts from homes.

Amazon offers an app called Key through which homeowners get an alert when an Amazon package is being delivered so they can remotely open their garage door and close it after the delivery is made.

UPS and FedEx allow customers to have packages delivered to their local offices for pickup. UPS has 38 locations in Hillsborough County, according to postlocations.com, and most are open by 8:30 a.m. FedEx packages can also be delivered to select Walgreens, Dollar General and grocery store locations.

Packages will be held for up to five business days, according to the shippers' websites.

The U.S. Postal Service offers hold-for-pickup service, but only for Priority Express mail.
