EAST CHICAGO, Ind. – The smell of burning bacon stirred Demetra Turner from her makeshift bed on the floor, a stack of quilts the only padding between her body and the ground. Long gone was her mattress, tossed into a dumpster with her couch, her recliner, her favorite theater chairs , her kids' beds. She had thrown them out on instructions from health officials , who said everything in the West Calumet Housing Complex was poisoned with arsenic and lead. Everyone must move, Mayor Anthony Copeland said last August, because the land was too dangerous to live on. But now it was May, and Turner and her children were still trying to escape. She shuffled past barren walls , packed boxes and cases of bottled water. "Who cooked that bacon?" Turner, 44, asked her 18-year-old son, Jeremiah. He sheepishly replied, "I did." She smiled and shook her head. He was just trying to help, she knew. Her overnight job at a gas station left her exhausted, and everyone in the fami...

8 1586 W Maggio Way Chandler , AZ 85224 (855) 823-3048 I have been a resident for the last three years. This new office staff is inexperienced and uncaring to the needs of their residents. They will not send out communication to their residents for fear of it "pissing more people off." This kind of behavior can also be seen in the care they have for their complex. The bug situation is disgusting and I am find at least 1"+ cockroaches, dead and alive, in my apartment at least once a week. Please see the other Arches at Hidden Creek's Yelp reviews for a more accurate depiction of how far things have been degrading. One resident, who has been here for the last 11 years left a 1 star-rating just 6 months ago! How horrible are the conditions that an 11 year resident loses that kind of loyalty? If I could give this place negative stars , I would. Unfortunately, I have 8 months left on my lease and I can't wait to GET OUT. first off.... BUGS, SPIDERS, AND ROACHES, LO...

by Jean M. Twenge Jean M. Twenge has been writing about generational differences for 25 years, producing bestsellers like Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic . In her latest book, Twenge zeroes in on iGen, the kids born in 1995 and later who have grown up with smartphones, had an Instagram page before they started high school and do not remember a time before the internet. The average teen checks her phone more than 80 times a day. The oldest iGen-ers, as she calls them, were early adolescents when the iPhone was introduced in 2007 and high school students when the iPad entered the market in 2010. Twenge argues the complete dominance of the smartphone among teens has had ripple effects across every area of iGen-er lives, from their social interactions to their mental health. Twenge draws on national surveys of 11 million Americans, conducted since 1960, to reach her conclusions. From about 2012, she started seeing "large, abrupt shifts in teens' behaviour and emoti...

Published: Friday, August 25, 2017 @ 5:41 PM By: Will Garbe, Lawrence Budd - Staff Writer A neighbor held back tears Friday as she talked about her friend, Karen Osorio-Martinez, the Procter & Gamble scientist who called 911 Wednesday and said she found her 15-month-old daughter dead in a car that had been in the work parking lot all day. “I don’t know what happened,” said the neighbor, who declined to be identified. “I don’t know if she was distracted. I don’t know.” In a search warrant affidavit filed Friday morning , Mason Detective Jeff Wyss said Osorio- Martinez told police she was running late to work that day and usually drops off her daughter, Sofia Aveiro, at day care. RELATED: Mother’s call says baby died in back of the car No charges have been filed, though the investigation is continuing. Police seized a Graco 4Ever car seat , a car seat pad, sunscreen and Mickey Mouse shoes from Osorio-Martinez’s vehicle, according to the affidavit. The rear- facing car seat was...
