GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Thieves beware - this Chihuahua may be little but he won't mess around if you threaten his owner. Gainesville Police say 7-year-old Coco was out with his owner this week when a robber approached them from behind as they walked near their apartment complex, struck her over the head with a glass bottle and demanded money. Little Coco bit the man's leg, sending him running into nearby woods. The woman, who did not want to be identified for safety reasons, suffered a bruise on her temple. The dog actually belongs to her caretaker who lives with her. Coco was rewarded with lots of treats. The Gainesville Sun reports the dog had been abused before being rescued four years ago. His owner said he plans to get Coco a badge. Copyright 2017 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

It has been a busy few weeks for the Wagoner Elks Lodge , and members are excited about what they are doing in the community. In July, the Lodge partnered with Autumn Wood Apartments Manager David Nickerson and the Women of Wagoner to help supply children in the apartment complex with much needed school supplies . “Thanks to the ENF 150th Anniversary Grant , the Women of Wagoner and the support of Elk’s members, we were able to fill 81 backpacks with school supplies ,” member Betty Cox reported . Elks Lodge members Ann Gendron , Debi McGlothlin, Penny Kumrow, Marilyn Nickerson , Betty Cox, Debbie Baugh and Brett Baugh were joined by Elroy the Drug Dog to help hand out bags. They also served a free hotdog meal to all the families who attended. “We are proud to be a part of supporting our youth of tomorrow,” Cox said. In other Lodge news, members held their annual Lake Poker Run Saturday , Aug. 5. While the weather was nice, some stops had to be moved due to the wind....

A teenager was unable to save her 5-year-old sister from their burning apartment Tuesday night when roaring flames turned the apartment into an inferno, making it impossible to get to the second-floor where the child was watching television, officials said. East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner Dr . "Beau" Clark identified the girl as Treasure Garner, although her family says her last name is Hadley. She died in the fire at the Cedarwood Apartments on Cedarcrest Avenue . The fire started around 7 p.m. and burned for more than three hours, spreading to more than 10 apartments before firefighters could bring it under control. Treasure's 18-year-old sister had earlier helped the child get ready for bed, then turned on a television on the second floor of the apartment for the little girl to watch while the teen went to the first-floor kitchen to prepare dinner, said Brant Thompson, chief deputy of the State Fire Marshal 's Office, according to accounts gathered by the F...

Eventually the Civic Arena, which many came to see as a harbinger of the community’s destruction, was torn down and replaced with the modern PPG Paints Arena . Half a block away, the Freedom Corner was dedicated in 2001, commemorating the civil rights leaders of the 1950s and 1960s who sought to maintain the Hill District. It is also a symbolic gateway to the neighborhood. In 2006, a proposal to build a casino in the lower Hill District was overwhelmingly rejected by residents. To this day, the sphere of influence from downtown generally stops at Crawford Street, which for me was a jarring reminder of how ghosts from the past don’t easily dissipate. Though much of Wilson’s Pittsburgh is gone, you could use his words to tour the district. I did so, led by Kimberly C. Ellis, a digital consultant and founder of the preservation- minded Historic Hill Institute , who is also the playwright’s niece. “The neighborhood has changed a lot,” she said, adding that “there is a renewed level of p...

SEMINOLE HEIGHTS — When Mary Myles became program manager of The Graham Home 25 years ago , 30 adults with special needs occupied 65 square-foot apartments. "It was tough on Mary when the place closed," said Gracepoint project manager Susan Morgan . "She'd be the one putting a bucket out when it leaked." Today, a partnership between Gracepoint and DDA Development has brought about a suitable replacement for the senior living facility . The Graham reopened last month and now Mary Myles sits in a corner office on the same property, overlooking a community garden and lush landscape. The 80 residents now occupy 646 square-foot apartments. No need for a bucket. "We wanted to create something better for them," Myles said. Gracepoint privately funded the project, the first affordable housing units Gracepoint built from the ground-up using low income housing tax credits and a loan from the state of Florida. "Mary had been making do with nothing,...

Last week, we sponsored the 11th annual Points Summer Book Club , a community discussion of Matthew Desmond's piercing Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City . We debated the causes of eviction, the effect on children, how to view landlords' role, and what this discussion means for a city like Dallas. The book club also included an event with the author, in a partnership with Southern Methodist University 's SMU Reads program . On Thursday, Desmond spoke to a crowd of more than 900 people, laying out his research and his experience with evictions' damaging effect on people's safety, family, jobs and mental health. "When you add all that up, we have to conclude that eviction -- which used to be rare in this country, which used to draw crowds — it's not just a condition of poverty, it's also a cause of it. And it's making it worse. It's leaving a deep and jagged scar on the next generation — which means that we can't fix poverty in A...

Mark Painter (Photo: (c)Pamela Ebel) Mark Painter served as a judge for 30 years. He is the author of six books and a member of the Enquirer’s Board of Contributors. In 1965, I lived in a basement apartment in Corryville. It was a vibrant neighborhood – a doctor’s office, two delis, an actual mom-and- pop dry cleaner , and perhaps the best bar and restaurant ever – the original Lakewood Tavern at Jefferson and Lakewood. What’s there now? The entire tax-paying environment was destroyed to build the Environment Protection Agency . Not that it couldn’t have been built on empty land nearby – UC and the Feds just wanted it as close to the university as possible. It’s sterile and ugly to boot. The small businesses were gone. The homeowners gone. Tax- paying property replaced by non-taxpaying property. Population lost. When you destroy a neighborhood, you tear the fabric of the community. Connections lost. Roots lost. And so it goes. Buy Photo Several dozen houses in Avondale -- abandoned ...

Dallas-based AT&T is facing allegations that it discriminates against low-income neighborhoods by not providing the high- speed home internet options that are available in nearby wealthier areas . A civil rights attorney filed the complaint Thursday with the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of three black women who live in Cleveland.  The three women say that they have slow broadband speeds , even though they pay for premium service. One of the women, Joanne Elkins, said she purchased a $1, 500 home security system , only to discover that she couldn't use it because her internet was too slow. Another, Hattie Lanfair, said her daughter, who is a teacher, cannot stay at her home during the school year because she can't download homework. The complaint refers to a March report by two nonprofits, the  National Digital Inclusion Alliance and Connect Your Community, that mapped internet availability and speeds in Cleveland.   The groups alleged in the report that A...

Ten people have been displaced by a fire that resulted in damage to four apartments in the Arden Arcade area . The two-alarm fire was reported shortly before 4 p.m. Monday in the 2200 block of Hurley Way. The fire started in an upstairs unit and spread to an adjoining unit, causing extensive damage , said Capt. Chris Vestal, a spokesman for the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire Protection District . Two other units sustained moderate fire damage , and others suffered smoke and water damage, he said. A second alarm was issued because flames were reported coming through the roof of the upstairs apartment and some vegetation near the building was also burning, raising concerns that the fire would spread, Vestal said. An off-duty firefighter from another agency called in the fire report and tried to keep people who had evacuated the building from going back into apartments. Vestal said firefighters determined that no one was trapped inside the apartments, and he urged people not to go back into...

Purdue University freshman Brandon Wolter waits at a bus stop outside Blackbird Farms Apartments on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017. Wolter is one of 240 students who were placed in Blackbird apartments due to overflow in on- campus residential halls . (Photo: Meghan Holden/Journal & Courier) WEST LAFAYETTE , Ind. — Brandon Wolter 's living situation is unlike that of most Purdue University freshmen who choose to live in residential housing. Rather than sleeping in a cramped dorm room, Wolter shares a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with three other freshmen.  The residence comes with amenities one would expect in a luxury apartment, such as a balcony, a full kitchen with a dishwasher, a washer and dryer, and free parking. There's also a pool and fitness center across the street. The catch? He lives about two miles outside campus and is a 10- minute bus ride  away from the thousands of other freshmen living in the dorms. "The worst part is planning ahead,...

UNION SPRINGS, Ala. (AP) — A missing Alabama woman found alive after surviving for weeks in the woods is lucky to have survived and is back home with her family recovering, police said Wednesday. Lisa Theris, 25, of Louisville was covered in scrapes and bug bites and dropped as much as 50 pounds to her current of 110 pounds during the ordeal, said Sgt. Chad Faulkner of the Bullock County Sheriff ’s Office. “She was in really, really bad shape,” Faulkner said. Sheriff Raymond Rodgers  tells WSFA-TV  that Theris was lost in the woods of southeast Alabama for almost one month. She was found Saturday walking along a highway outside of Union Springs, located about 45 miles (70 km) from Montgomery. Rodgers said Theris survived by drinking water from a brook and eating berries and mushrooms. Faulkner  tells WTVY-TV  that the two men Theris was last seen with are being questioned, but haven’t been legally implicated in the case. Theris was facing a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in...

The city of Tampa is on the cusp of a total makeover. With billions of dollars in investment and dozens of new apartment, condo, office and cultural buildings in the pipeline, the city's skyline and surrounding communities are poised to look a whole lot different than what it does today. But dreaming up the future of Tampa doesn't come without its challenges. For all the promises of a new urban core filled with hotels, parks, food halls and stores, there are also potential pitfalls. The Tampa Bay Times identified the five key obstacles that stand in the way of some of the biggest projects proposed in Hillsborough County . Many of these challenges are ones local politicians and business leaders have been fighting for years to find a solution. Others are fairly new territory, but still pose a real threat to the region's continued growth. [LOREN ELLIOTT | Times] A construction site is seen just north of Amalie Arena in downtown Tampa , Fla., on Monday, May 1, 2017. Curr...
