Universalists to consider the mandate of the Golden Rule - Ashland Daily Press

A six-year-old boy who was attacked with a baseball bat last month allegedly by his adult neighbor has died from his injuries.

In an update posted on GoFundMe on Tuesday, Jeremy Diaz's father announced that the boy had a sudden neural storm following weeks of recovery from his various injuries. After six hours, the attempts to resuscitate Jeremy failed and he was pronounced dead, Jeremy's father wrote. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office also confirmed the young boy's death.

He fought for over 60 days and was improving, but at the end, the odds seemed against him, the GoFundMe update written by Jeremy's father reads, later adding: I was there when he took his first breathe and saw him take his last no parent should see their children buried before them. Thank you all for supporting us, and most especially for supporting Jeremy. He was a wonderful and loving child that practiced the Golden Rule. In him I am well pleased.

Jeremy was set to get his ventilator out on Wednesday, because his vital signs were much improved and at normal levels," the GoFundMe states. As of Wednesday, the GoFundMe has earned $316,000 to go toward medical expenses.

The alleged random attack occurred on September 11 around 5 a.m. in Georgetown, Texas. The Williamson County Sheriffs Department responded to a call of a disturbance in a residential area where police identified 39-year-old Daniel Logan as the man who entered his next-door neighbors house and attacked two people, including Jeremy, according to a statement from the department.

Williamson County Sheriff's Office

Logan was charged with two first-degree felonies: Injury to a child and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a family member. Logan also allegedly struck his 65-year-old mother, Cynthia Logan, with the bat, according to local news station Fox 7.

"As the investigation continues, we are in constant communication with the District Attorney's Office while awaiting autopsy results," The Williamson County Sheriffs Department's newest statement reads. "Upon receipt of the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office's findings, and if warranted, the Williamson County Sheriff's Office, in cooperation with the District Attorneys Office will present the case to a grand jury for the charges to be enhanced to Capital Murder."

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the young boy as well as his family during this trying time," Logan's attorney, Marc Chavez, told PEOPLE in part in a statement before Jeremy's death. "While the allegations sound troubling, we ask everyone to reserve judgment until all the facts come to light especially while we investigate issues related to serious mental illness."

Jeremy's GoFundMe page described him as a bright, vibrant child with a heart full of dreams and a future brimming with potential.

6-Year-Old Boy Dies a Month After Adult Neighbor Allegedly Beats ... - PEOPLE

Published 7:30 am Sunday, November 19, 2023

Several years ago, groups of people from various churches in our county traveled to Haiti some on medical mission trips and other groups to help with construction of churches in Jacmel and Anse Du Clerce. The week they spent there made a lasting impact on their lives.

They told about the tent cities where thousands were living due to the destruction caused by an earthquake in Haiti in January 2010. The day after returning home from the trip, my husband, Greg, went into a local grocery store and commented that he saw more food in that one grocery store than he had seen the entire week in Jacmel. The stark comparison was like a cultural after-shock.

Pastor Franky Jeune, the mission teams interpreter in Haiti, has spoken in many churches in our county. He shares how the Haitians must trust God every day for their food because they never had enough set aside for tomorrow.

I was reminded, once again, how much I take for granted each day. Pastor Frankys statement also reminded me of the request in the Lords Prayer, Give us this day our daily bread, (Matthew 6:11). Its something most Americans do not have to do. We are basically in the one percent and the rest of the world in the 99 percent, when it comes to having plenty of food.

Too often, I have to be reminded of what others do not have to be reminded of why I should be thankful for all I do have. Helen Keller once said, I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during their early adult life. It would make them more appreciative of sight and the joys of sound.

Someone once said that the words thank and think come from the same root. Author Max Lucado has asked, Arent you glad that God doesnt give you only that which you remember to thank him for?

Ralph Waldo Emerson once observed that if the constellations appeared only once in a thousand years, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because theyre visible every night, we rarely give them a look.

Maybe we should consider celebrating Thanksgiving year-round by thanks-living. Make giving thanks a part of daily living. First, theres vertical thanks, directed to God each day as we think of at least one thing for which we are thankful to Him.

Secondly, theres horizontal thanks, toward our fellowman. Say thank you to the person who opens a door for you. Thank the waitress for serving your meal, and then return thanks to God for providing it. When I see a soldier in uniform, I say, Thank you for serving our country. When we grow our gratitude, we are living the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12).

Thanks is the easiest thing to give a simple spoken word to express gratitude. Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote, In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.

FILE - In this Feb. 28, 2017 file photo, President Donald Trump walks past Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. on Capitol Hill in Washington following the president's address to a joint session of Congress. Manchin said Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2023, that if voters give Trump another term in Washington, he will destroy Democracy in America. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, file)

It probably wont surprise you that Im not likely to vote for either of our senators. What may surprise you, however, is that I think, as wrong as they are on issues I care about, they are probably decent people who dont swear or belch loudly in church, never litter, dont drive above speed limits, and pay their taxes on time.

But before I nominate either one for sainthood, I have a simple question for them: Do you agree with Donald Trump who recently said, we pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Racists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country, lie, steal, and cheat on Elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American dream . Despite the hatred and anger of the Radical Left Lunatics who want to destroy our country, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Senators, do you believe Communists and Marxists are stealing our elections? Do you see a lot of vermin or lunatics wandering our streets or in the countryside? I dont know how smart Donald Trump is, but I do know he is ignorant and a danger. You have an obligation to speak out, to save your political party and our democracy. You will not be judged, by how long you serve, but how courageous you were in saving your party and the country from the curse of Donald Trump.

That is not a partisan view. Here is what a Republican who worked in the White House for Mr. Trump recently said, He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring. He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events, or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in our nation and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy and the rule of law.

Trumps probable cabinet members, Steve Bannon and Mike Davis, talk of deporting 10 million people in a second Trump term. When Jenna Ellis lamented that their election challenges failed, Dan Scavino, deputy chief of staff in Trumps White House, apparently answered: Well, we dont care, the boss is not going to leave under any circumstances. We are just going to stay in power. When Ellis responded Well, it doesnt quite work that way, you realize? he answered: We dont care.

They really dont care about things you must consider as citizens and senators. They would build sprawling camps housing people and families waiting to be expelled, include Muslims who came legally. Trump refers to this, with pride, as the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.

Since 1860, newly elected Senators take an oath that begins I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,

Donald Trump is a domestic enemy of our democracy. Sens. Ernst's and Grassleys silence is the luxury of political cowards and makes your oath meaningless. Please speak out to maintain your honor and democracy.

My job means that I talk to professional home organizers and declutterers every single day. As a result, I pick up some pretty good tips that I then implement around my home.

After a year of separating what works from what doesn't, I have settled on four firm decluttering lessons that have completely changed how I live in my home, and how I deal with the clutter that used to leave me in a constant cycle of feeling overwhelmed.

These are the four decluttering tips I now swear by as someone who works with expert organizers, and why they changed my home.

From knowing what to do with the items you are decluttering to understanding how to declutter when feeling overwhelmed, professional organizers have done it all which is why their advice can almost always be trusted.

(Image credit: Ted Todd)

Guilt was something I really struggled with when it came to decluttering and it wasn't just when decluttering sentimental items either, it was for everything I had ever spent money on, be it decluttering my closet, or clearing out my kitchen.

One of the most important things I learned from organizers is that this feeling of guilt that I havent used something or that something doesn't fit is a surefire sign that it needs to be decluttered. After all, the item will only continue to make me feel guilty and remain unused.

After starting to stick to this rule and forcing myself through the difficult moments, I feel a lot happier with what I do keep around me.

Sentimental items are one of those home items people never want to declutter but need to and I certainly used to be guilty of hanging on to every ticket and travel map with the intention of putting it in a scrapbook but never did.

These items are hard to let go of, but experts reminded me that I can still reminisce on those trips and events without having to have a physical item to remind me of them. Besides, the fact I never put it in a book or digitized the memory suggests I would never look at it again if I had anyway.

The memories stick with me and don't take up space in my essential home storage making letting go of stuff easier.

When it comes to the process of decluttering, I used to wait until I got overwhelmed by a space or physically couldn't use a storage unit before I gutted it out as a matter of necessity. This is the furthest thing from a practical solution imaginable.

When I started talking to the experts, I discovered that every one of them has a system that they depend upon and works for every space in every home. I have tested out a fair few of these around my space for work but settled on the ski-slope organizing system as my ultimate favorite for reestablishing order around my home and decluttering without making a mess.

Finding one that works for you can be trial and error, but it is worth the time you invest to sustain a calm home.

I never used to be a big planner when it came to cleaning and decluttering my home, opting to dive in head first instead. This was a huge mistake, however, as it meant I frequently got distracted and never ended up getting rid of very much at all.

It turns out that, while it may be time-consuming, planning where I wanted to tackle and writing out my goals (be it on paper or my phone) does set you up for a successful decluttering session and not much else beats it.

When starting with decluttering, it helps to read tips from professional organizers to learn more about their process. From there, you can start to try out different approaches to clearing out your home to work out what works best for you and helps you to achieve your goals. You might also want to hire a professional organizer to get a head start and learn from them directly.

The golden rule of decluttering is to always put things back where they belong when you have finished with them to prevent visual clutter from accumulating around your home. This helps you to keep things organized while also making it simpler to find things when you need them helping you to avoid feeling overwhelmed at home.

There are plenty of other decluttering rules and approaches that professionals love for keeping order in a home, so it is a good idea to try different things out to see what works best for you. They are professionals for a reason, after all.

You might want to combine approaches, for instance, to make decluttering fun or learn how to encourage family to declutter with you to take the load off.

Its time Bennington stood up against hate. The world is boiling over with it. Dont we all wish we could stop it? The world cannot tolerate it much longer. Innocent people are being killed everywhere.

This isnt the world I grew up in and this isnt the world the next generation should grow up in. This isnt the way government was supposed to work. This isnt the way modern countries should deal with each other.

I know there is little we can do here in the State of Vermont to solve the problems of Israel and Palestine, or to give more than moral support to the war to preserve Ukraine. Governments are going to continue to spin out of control, no matter what we do here in Bennington.

Still, we cant just sit and stew, in the face of hate crimes, the racist attacks on Jewish, Black, Asian people or any race or nationality, and the rising tide of hatred that spews forth out of the media.

When the murder of George Floyd led to the Black Lives Matter movement, Bennington took a stand. It allowed painting on a roadway to support Black Lives Matter. That was no small gesture. Its rare to see principles displayed that way, and it had an impact.

Its time Bennington stood up against hate. Perhaps the process could begin with a strongly-worded resolution by the select board. We then can find ways as a community to underscore the public need for tolerance.

Vermonters have always been known as a tolerant people. Still the whitest state in the Union, Vermont was a leader in the abolitionist movement and has welcomed peoples from all nations into our communities.

But even here in Vermont we sometimes see signs of hate. Those who are afraid of people who dont look like them, who practice a different religion, will sometimes lash out with hate with ugly words. Thats just not acceptable it cannot and should not be tolerated.

Vermont has laws against hate crimes. They must be enforced. They must be matters of regular public discussion. We must show our disapproval publicly, but also we ought to look within. As adults we must find ways to keep this hate from spreading to our children.

Like others, I think about my own prejudices, which have changed over the years. Some of what I once thought what everyone around me thought was wrong. Even now, I have to be careful what I say and what I think. Everybody seems to be so sensitive lately. Sentences sometimes come out backward.

Ive been told that human beings are the only animals that hate. It cant be that we, as the supposedly most advanced form of life on the planet, have evolved to hate each other. It's not as if that was some kind of advance rather than a weakness something that is entirely impractical in addition to being unacceptable.

Each of us should be honest enough to admit our prejudices. And each should be willing to change if necessary. Thats not as nave as it sounds. Was I ever wrong about anything? Of course I was. Everybody has been wrong sometime. When what I thought turned out to be a mistake, I changed, but I never gave up my basic values.

Those values include a basic, sincere tolerance for others, especially those who are not like me, who come from different cultures, different families, different ideas. Thats what we are taught as a basic part of being an American. And a Vermonter.

We can say loudly and clearly we will not tolerate hate. Why cant we all live under the Golden Rule, treating others the same way we deserve to be treated. I believe that is a good place to start.

Cooking with Love Nello's Continues Impress Diners - St. Albert Gazette

With nearly 100 acting credits to his name, James Garner was thriving during Hollywood's Golden Age. In addition to his work in the entertainment industry, the Golden Globe winner was a military veteran and racer. Behind the scenes, he fought through a number of health issues to be a doting dad and husband.

Garner was born in 1928 in Oklahoma. At age 16, he joined the Merchant Marines at the end of World War II. After the war, he attended high school but dropped out during his senior year to enlist in the National Guard. Garner went on to serve in the Korean War but was wounded twice in action, earning two Purple Hearts during his service.

After his military career came to an end, Garner appeared in a few plays and commercials and managed to snag minor parts in television series. Some of his earliest acting roles included 1956s Toward the Unknown, Conflict and Cheyenne.

In 1957, Garner began portraying the lead role of Bret Maverick in the western TV series Maverick. He appeared in 63 episodes of the show until 1962. Several attempts were made to revive the program with Garner in the decades that followed, but none of them found the same success as the original iteration.

He turned his attention to films throughout the 60s, landing roles in The Great Escape, The Americanization of Emily, 36 Hours, The Art of Love and more. Sharing the screen with the likes of Julie Andrews, Steve McQueen, Dick Van Dyke, Eva Marie Saint and many other film veterans led Garner to become one of Hollywoods most in-demand leading men.

The Marlowe actor returned to television from 1971 to 1972 with the series Nichols. He also starred in the detective drama The Rockford Files from 1974 to 1980. In 1985, Garner scored his first and only Oscar nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Murphys Romance. In his later years in Hollywood, Garners acting credits included First Monday, 8 Simple Rules and The Notebook.

Garners career spanned more than six decades, and he had his supportive wife, Lois Clarke, by his side through it all. The pair met in 1956 and got married just two weeks later.

From a previous marriage, Clarke was already a mom to daughter Kim when she met Garner. He later adopted her and raised her as his own. The couple also welcomed daughter Greta, whom they called Gigi, during their marriage.

I really hit the jackpot with my dad, Gigi told Closer in October 2021. He was the type of father that got down on the floor and played with you. He was very present. The greatest father in the world.

Throughout his life, Garner opened up about experiencing a number of health issues, with multiple knee operations, a quintuple bypass surgery and he suffered a stroke in 2008.

Im constantly in pain. I have arthritis in my back, and my knees, and my hands. I had ulcers this year and once an ulcer patient, always an ulcer patient, he told People in April 1985. I get depressed. Very.

He was very thankful for the support of his longtime wife during his health battles.

Shes just stuck with me all these years, he said. I guess shes stubborn too.

Garner died on July 19, 2014, at his Los Angeles home at the age of 86 from a heart attack. Seven years later, Clarke died on October 21, 2021.

My father was an all-around good guy and a big animal lover, Gigi said. He was just a genuine person who lived by the Golden Rule. You just dont get people like that nowadays.
