Naugatuck Man Involved In Illegal Campaign Contribution Scheme Is Sentenced Deirdre M. Daly , Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut , announced that HARRY RAYMOND SOUCY , 61 , of Naugatuck , was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven to three years of probation , the first six months of which SOUCY must spend in community confinement ( a “ halfway house ” ) , for his role in a scheme to direct illegal contributions into the campaign of a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives . SOUCY was also ordered to pay a $ 5,000 fine . According to court documents and statements made in court , in August 2011 , the State of Connecticut applied for a court order enjoining Roll Your Own ( “ RYO ” ) smoke shops from continuing to operate without complying with state law governing tobacco manufacturers . RYO smoke shops are retail businesses that sell loose smoking tobacco and cigarette-rolling materials and offer customers the option of paying a “ rental ” fee to insert the loose tobacco and the rolling materials into a RYO machine , which is capable of rapidly rolling large quantities of cigarettes . Customers did not pay a tax on the RYO cigarettes when rolled by the RYO machines , in contrast to cigarettes purchased over-the-counter . Fearing that the Connecticut General Assembly would enact legislation harmful to RYO smoke shop owners ’ business interests during the 2012 legislative session , certain RYO smoke shop owners and their associates , including SOUCY , engaged in a scheme to direct conduit campaign contributions into the campaign of Christopher Donovan , a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives . At the time , Donovan was also the Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives . As part of the scheme , the co-conspirators recruited multiple individuals to serve as conduit contributors to the campaign . These individuals permitted checks to be written in their own names to the campaign and were then reimbursed with cash , thereby concealing the fact that RYO smoke shop owners were contributing to the campaign . In November and December 2011 , participants in the scheme made four $ 2,500 conduit contributions to the Chris Donovan for Congress campaign . On approximately January 31 , 2012 , the campaign submitted to the Federal Election Commission ( “ FEC ” ) a report of campaign committee ’ s receipts and disbursements for the period October 1 , 2011 through December 31 , 2011 . The report falsely stated the source and amount of the four $ 2,500 contributions that were received and deposited by the campaign committee during that time period . In late April 2012 , SOUCY was approached by investigators and began cooperating with the investigation . With his assistance , the RYO owners directed an additional $ 17,500 in conduit contributions to the Donovan for Congress Campaign , as well as a conduit contribution in the amount of $ 2,500 to a political party . On July 24 , 2012 , SOUCY waived his right to indictment and pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud deprivation of honest services , and one count of conspiracy to make false statements to the FEC and to defraud the United States . Seven other individuals , including two employees of the Donovan for Congress campaign , have also been convicted of charges stemming from this scheme . This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S . Attorneys Christopher M. Mattei and Eric J. Glover .

Merle Haggard Billy Bob 's Texas , Fort Worth Saturday , June 28 , 2014 Country music is built on a bedrock of incredible artists like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings , but you 'd be an idiot to not consider the tremendous influence of everyone 's favorite former felon , Merle Haggard . His career has certainly seen its peaks and valleys over the years , but Haggard 's tires still have plenty of tread after over five decades of making music and being on the road . The years may not have been kind to the 76-year-old country legend , but his picking hand remains in near-pristine condition . During his entire one-and-a-half hour set at Billy Bob 's in Fort Worth on Saturday , Haggard played his signature Fender Telecaster with surprising precision and ease . Sometimes his old age was pretty evident , like when he struggled with an instrument or missed a few notes , but for the most part , he was comfortable and collected . The evening was also a family affair for Haggard . Merle 's son Noel Lee Haggard opened the night with a face and voice that was so reminiscent of his father 's youth that it was almost spooky . Benny Haggard , the youngest of the bunch , plays lead guitar in Merle 's band with inherited skill that will no doubt have him headlining shows of his own one day . Benny 's mother and Merle 's wife Theresa sang back-up and brought energy to a show that could have been really uninspired . But it was n't . That Bakersfield sound was almost as fresh last weekend as it was when it was pointing a big middle finger at Nashville 's slicked-up sound all those years ago . After years of hard living and being on the road , Haggard lives up to his name in appearance only . His stage presence has only been diminished slightly with age , and vocally he was strong . Other reviews of this tour across the country have remarked that Haggard forgot the words to a few songs or misplayed a few notes , but maybe he felt at home at Billy Bob 's , where he was almost completely on point . Haggard 's rendition of `` Folsom Prison Blues , '' a song he first heard Johnny Cash play while incarcerated at San Quentin , was particularly respectful and well-received . I have no doubt that the Man in Black would have approved of his old buddy 's version . After playing tributes to his contemporaries like Cash and Jimmie Rodgers , Haggard 's `` If We Make It Through December '' paid homage to his influences , particularly Bob Willis . Not surprisingly , Haggard also proved to be a great storyteller too . Before `` Workin ' In Tennessee , '' arguably one of the best songs ever written about a guitar , Haggard told the story of an old Martin guitar that was ruined when the Country Music Hall of Fame was flooded in the early 2000s . Whoever had the unfortunate job of informing Haggard that his prized guitar was gone told him that they 'd last seen the guitar floating down the Cumberland River and that Marty Stuart jumped in to save it and got his hair wet , adding a little humor to a really sad situation . In his signature song , `` Okie From Muskogee , '' Haggard reminded the audience that this is a song written about marijuana , which elicited the usual amount of hollering . `` I 'm not giving you any , '' he laughed . `` It 's just a song about it . '' Most of the audience seemed to miss out on the fact that this song is actually a tongue-in-cheek jab at the uninformed nature of simple small-town life , but no matter ; everyone who is a fan of Merle Haggard should see him perform this song live . It 's a shame that the real Willie Nelson was n't in attendance for a duet of `` Poncho & Lefty , '' but that 's just about the only thing that could have made it better . On `` Momma Tried , '' though , Haggard left the singing mostly up to the crowd , which they were happy to do . This was one of the only times that he seemed to be a little tired , but who could blame him ? It was probably well after every other 74-year old on the planet 's bedtime , and he was still playing a show . Unfortunately , when I look at the set lists that Haggard played in other cities , it seems like the Fort Worth crowd may not have gotten all of his best . My very favorite Haggard song , `` Silver Wings , '' and close second `` Footlights , '' were played in other sets across the country but not on Saturday night . Considering that the stop at Billy Bob 's was toward the end of his touring schedule , it 's really not all that surprising that he played a much shorter show , if still disappointing . In retrospect , the crowd was relatively subdued considering that we were in the world 's largest honky-tonk , with one major exception . Something about country music makes 40-something soccer moms from the suburbs want to let their hair down and get a little crazy . Saturday night 's show was no exception , with crowds of blonde suburban wives with bottle beers somehow managing to be more rowdy than the packs of TCU frat boys . Maybe it 's the cowboy boots . All the same , the night ended rather abruptly as Haggard left without coming back to play an encore and the crowd did not do much to demand one . Perhaps everyone figured that it was time for the old man to retire for the evening . His band , the Strangers , played him off with an oddly jazzy version of `` Okie From Muskogee , '' which added a little unnecessary cheese . Still , even with these missteps that could have made any other show insufferable , Haggard is a living legend in the truest sense of the word . Merle Haggard 's place as one of the most transformative figures in country music has been settled for at least a few decades now , but that does n't mean that he 's gotten lazy in his old age . It 's true that his best years are behind him and he did n't do anything new or revolutionary on that stage at Billy Bob 's , but that 's because he did n't have to . This is the kind of country music that is good for the soul and that is always good enough on its own . 2520 Rodeo Plaza Fort Worth , TX 76164 817-624-7117 www.billybobstexas.com Catch up on the day 's news and stay informed with our daily digest of the most popular news , music , food and arts stories in Dallas , delivered to your inbox Monday through Friday .

Six former employees of the Florida State Fire College have joined a class-action lawsuit against flame retardant manufacturers , alleging their exposure to toxic chemicals caused serious medical conditions including thyroid disease , breast cancer and kidney cancer . The complaint , filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida on Dec. 20 , alleges the manufacturers knowingly made and sold flame retardants that release harmful — and long-lasting — chemicals into the air , soil and groundwater . The suit , first reported by the Ocala Star-Banner , was filed as state health officials have been conducting water testing for the same contaminants in the surrounding area . At least three wells outside the fire college tested positive for elevated levels of those chemicals two months ago , and the local health department has been soliciting requests from local residents who also wish to have their own water tested . Early tests of the — chemicals perfluorooctane sulfonate ( PFOS ) and perfluorooctanoic acid ( PFOA ) — have suggested that they can be carcinogens . Other effects in humans include high cholesterol , thyroid disorders , adverse reproductive and developmental effects and some types of cancer . PFOS and PFOA are easily absorbed after consumption and accumulate primarily in the bloodstream , kidney and liver . The chemicals are primarily used in flame retardants . According to the complaint filed by Miami personal injury attorney Jan Paul Portal , the plaintiffs call for a jury trial , award for damages totaling more than $ 5 million and a medical monitoring program — paid for by the manufacturers — for those who came in contact with the chemical but have n't been diagnosed with illnesses yet . The plaintiffs are asking to certify the suit as a class action for those who claim injury by the chemicals and for those who were just exposed to it . Portal could not be reached for comment Wednesday . In 2002 , the primary U.S. manufacturer of PFOS voluntarily phased it out of production because it was aware of the looming chemical exposure and health effects on the public . In 2006 , eight major companies in the PFAS industry voluntarily agreed to phase out production for the same reason . They joined the Environmental Protection Agency 's PFOA Stewardship Program , making voluntary commitments to reduce product content and facility emissions of PFOA and related chemicals by 95 percent no later than 2010 . But the chemicals are made up of compounds that do n't biodegrade , which allows them to remain in air , soil and groundwater for decades . The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency refers to the contaminants as those of `` emerging concern . '' The case names 10 defendants , including the 3M Company , Tyco Fire Products and Chemguard , who all distributed the chemicals for use at airports , fire departments and industrial facilities across the country . `` They understood far more about the properties of and the biodegradability of their additives than any other customer , '' the lawsuit says . `` They chose not to use their knowledge to design safer products . '' Water contamination near the State Fire College was made known to officials in early October , after results came back from testing done by the state 's Department of Environmental Protection . Of the roughly 80 to 90 wells in a mile radius around the college , 17 wells were tested . According to emails obtained by the Herald/Times , levels of PFOS and PFOA in the water at the college were found to be between 250,000 and 270,000 parts per trillion , more than 3,000 times higher than the advisable 70 parts per trillion for drinking water . In November , the Department of Health tested some surrounding wells and found four , including the fire college , that showed elevated PFOS and PFOA levels . Those wells belonged to a private home , a mining business and a local fire station , which have received filters for their wells and a regular supply of bottled water for drinking , cooking , bathing and other household activities . To date , 40 samples have been collected from homes and business in Marion County , but results are still pending . While no specific number of class members is listed , the suit suggests the class includes hundreds of firefighters , instructors and administrative employees exposed to the chemicals through contaminated groundwater around the college . One of the plaintiffs , a former firefighter instructor at the college , drank from the college 's well water , which was contaminated by the chemicals . David Battisti , who now lives in Broward County , alleges his thyroid disease is a direct result of exposure . The five other plaintiffs , all Ocala residents , suffer from thyroid disease and various forms of cancer , which they allege is a result of the contaminated water . They could not be reached for comment Wednesday . All six plaintiffs claim they came in contact with the chemicals through water from the college 's pipes , faucets , showerheads , appliances , sinks and drinking water fountains . Two spouses are also named as plaintiffs in the suit . In August , the state 's Department of Environmental Protection conducted tests at the college and found high levels of the chemicals in two of the three wells that provide the college 's water supply . The Governor 's Office declined to comment on the matter , as the Fire College is not a party in the suit . Times/Herald staff writer Elizabeth Koh contributed to this report .

Advertisement FOLLOW ON In Paris , France , on Nov.18 , 2014 . ( Jacques Brinon / AP ) PARIS -- Airbnb says hosts in central Paris can now only rent out their homes for up to 120 nights a year , a new cap introduced to comply with city regulations . The company 's director for France and Belgium , Emmanuel Marill , said Tuesday the cap would apply to the 1st , 2nd , 3rd and 4th districts , or arrondissements , of Paris . Hosts will have a `` ticker '' on their home page showing how many nights they have remaining available . City council member Sylvain Maillard tweeted praise for the decision , though critics said it should be extended to all 20 Paris arrondissements . Residents and regulators in tourist destinations worldwide have protested services like Airbnb , saying they drive up housing costs and that hosts use them to run commercial businesses . Other cities have instituted caps or require permits .

Defendant Sentenced for Illegally Buying and Transporting Guns to Buffalo , New York Firearms That Charles Horton Acquired Using Straw Purchasers Were Later Recovered from Buffalo Crime Scenes ATLANTA - Charles Horton , 36 , of Buffalo , New York , was sentenced today by United States District Judge Thomas W. Thrash , Jr. to serve over 17 years in federal prison for the offenses of being a felon in possession of firearms , transporting guns from Georgia to New York without a license , and using straw purchasers to make false statements to gun dealers . United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said that , “ Horton persuaded four women , one of whom was homeless , to buy twenty firearms on his behalf , and when he learned he was under investigation , he attempted to tamper with a witness who agreed to testify against him at trial . Law enforcement officers later recovered some of these firearms at crime scenes in the Buffalo area , including at the scene of a murder. ” “ Gun traffickers commit a worse crime than the illegal purchase , sale and transportation of firearms . These criminals provide an iron pipeline of potentially deadly weapons for their own selfish profit at the expense of law abiding citizens and their families , ” said Scott Sweetow , Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives ( ATF ) in Atlanta . “ The unlawful trafficking in firearms is a serious crime which feeds and amplifies the violence experienced in so many cities today . I applaud the efforts of the agents and the prosecutors who brought the Mr. Horton to justice. ” Horton was sentenced to 17 years , 1 month in prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release . Horton was convicted of these charges on May 18 , 2012 , after a trial . According to United States Attorney Yates , the charges and other information presented in court : Horton , a convicted felon who was prohibited by federal and state law from possessing firearms , recruited four women to act as straw purchasers and buy a total of twenty firearms on his behalf . Horton gave the straw purchasers the money for the guns , drove them to various gun stores in Georgia and South Carolina , and told them which firearms to purchase . At the time of the gun sales , the straw purchasers falsely claimed that they were buying the guns for themselves . Horton was captured in video surveillance footage as he escorted three of the women to several gun stores . A tip from a gun dealer about a car tag resulted in ATF determining that during the time of the straw purchases Horton used various rental cars to travel back and forth between Buffalo and Atlanta on multiple occasions . Law enforcement officers subsequently recovered these weapons at crime scenes in Buffalo , New York . When Horton learned that he was the subject of an investigation by ATF , he attempted to interfere with the investigation by asking one of the straw purchasers to falsely claim that the guns he purchased through the straw buyers had been stolen . Unbeknownst to Horton , the straw purchaser was cooperating with the ATF . This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives . Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Plummer and Department of Justice Trial Attorney Luke Jones prosecuted the case .

STOUGHTON , Sask . — The Saskatchewan government says it has confirmed which pipeline leaked 200,000 litres of crude oil on First Nation farmland . It says it belongs to Calgary-based Tundra Energy Marketing Ltd . The company has been leading cleanup of the spill near Stoughton in southeastern Saskatchewan . The government says so far 174,000 litres of oil have been recovered and 185,000 cubic metres of contaminated soil removed . It says further assessment and cleanup , including excavation work , will follow until the site is restored . Tundra confirmed on its website that it is the operator of the pipeline and is working with regulatory bodies and the Ocean Man First Nation to determine the cause . Chief Connie Big Eagle said a band member who worked in the oil industry detected the smell of oil days before the leak was discovered . The member eventually found the site of the spill contained in a small slough and reported it to officials on Friday . She said emotions among the 540 band members range from disappointment to anger . “ Many of our people grew up in the oil industry and have made their careers in the oil industry and currently work in the oil industry , so there ’ s lots of knowledge , ” she said in an interview Tuesday . “ I don ’ t know about things returning to normal , as far as the environment goes , but I know we ’ re all co-operating at this point , ensuring it ’ s cleaned up properly and no further damage is caused to the land or the environment. ” Tundra has said it immediately notified government officials and residents when the leak was reported and began removing surface oil with vacuum trucks . Tundra is a subsidiary of grain and energy conglomerate James Richardson & Sons , Ltd. , of Winnipeg . The Ocean Man spill is almost as big as a 225,000-litre leak of heavy crude oil and diluent from a Husky Energy ( TSX : HSE ) pipeline into the North Saskatchewan River last July . The leak forced the cities of North Battleford , Prince Albert and Melfort to shut off their water intakes from the river and find other water sources for almost two months . Husky said it spent about $ 90 million responding to the spill , which it said was caused by shifting ground .

SC Public Radio News - The South Carolina House will begin debate on the state 's $ 14 billion budget Monday , but one billion-dollar bit of business probably wo n't get settled until well into the spring . Lawmakers have an unprecedented amount of money to spend between the booming economy , federal stimulus money and cash lawmakers saved over the past few years . There is $ 1 billion set aside to improve roads , money for salary increases for state employees , law enforcement and teachers . But the difference in the income tax cut plans passed by the House and Senate likely wo n't be resolved for more than a month . The House sets aside $ 600 million , while the Senate wants to spend $ 2 billion . - Two lifelong Republicans representing neighboring congressional districts in South Carolina are unlikely players in the fierce debate over the future of their party . Reps. Nancy Mace and Tom Rice are both facing spirited primary challenges from rivals backed by former President Donald Trump . For Rice , the sin was his support for Trump 's second impeachment after the violent Jan. 6 insurrection ignited by the then-president . Mace drew the ire of Trump and his backers by voting to certify President Joe Biden 's win in the 2020 election . Trump held a rally Saturday in Florence , South Carolina , with their primary challengers and laced into both as insufficiently loyal . - A man who shot and killed three people in a South Carolina home and then used their smartphones to send himself money for a plane ticket has been sentenced to life in prison without parole . Jeffery Powell pleaded guilty Friday . Prosecutors say Powell killed his aunt 's husband , a cousin and his cousin 's daughter in their Greenwood home last August . Investigators say he also shot and wounded an 8-year-old boy who hid in a bathroom with his dead sister for several hours before going to a neighbor 's home to look for help . The 37-year-old Powell sobbed as he apologized in court for the killings . - When South Carolina announced the first two coronavirus cases on March 6 , 2020 , rural Kershaw County was a surprising name on the list .

Open Space Institute works in concert with others to protect South Carolina 's scenic , natural , and historic landscapes The Open Space Institute ’ s mission is to protect scenic , natural , and historic landscapes to provide public enjoyment , conserve habitat and working lands , and sustain communities . Over the past 40 years , the institute has saved 2,285,092 acres of land through direct acquisition , grants , and loans . Having begun by focusing on land in New York State , they have in recent years saved significant , complex , and large-scale tracts in South Carolina , Florida , and New Jersey through direct acquisitions . In December 2022 , the Open Space Institute ( OSI ) and The Nature Conservancy ( TNC ) announced the purchase of three properties along the Santee River in South Carolina , expanding the largest contiguous block of protected coastal lands in the state . OSI ’ s Vice-President and Director of the Southeast , Maria Whitehead , joins Walter Edgar to talk about the acquisition and about the Institute ’ s plans for land protection in the state .
