Changes coming this weekend to Columbia Co. Spring Fair
In a statement they said, 'Fair families, our goal in producing the Columbia County Fair is to provide a fun, family-friendly, safe experience for everyone. With that being said, we are implementing some changes to ensure we remain committed to achieving that goal. Due to the number of unattended youths last Saturday that seemed intent on disrupting the fair, we feel these changes are necessary to continue to provide a family friendly atmosphere and safe environment for all. On Friday and Saturday at 6:00PM, all guests 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent. One parent will be allowed to bring a maximum of 4 children. Purchase of admission and ride tickets will be required at the gate to allow entry to guests ages 11-17. IDs for youths 18 and above will be required to enter the fair.'
Attendees who were there last weekend told NewsChannel 6 that they saw a gun or heard gunshots, but investigators say they have no proof that weapons were shown or fired at the Fair.
The Columbia County Sheriff's office said they plan to provide more officers this weekend to ensure the safety of people who want to attend the Fair.
The Spring Fair runs through Sunday, April 27th. For more information on Spring Fair go to https://columbiacountyfair.net/.

Greedy landlords — not Bronx residents — were really to blame for the fires that ravaged NYC in the 70s and 80s: New book
In the early hours of an April morning in 1975, New York landlord Imre Oberlander and his associate, Yishai Webber, donned disguises — wigs and blackface — and set out in their car from Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They planned to burn down one of the six buildings Oberlander owned, but their illicit efforts were thwarted when a police officer pulled them over for a broken taillight, only to find firebombs in their car. Both men were promptly arrested. 'Oberlander became one of the first landlords charged in connection with the decade's epidemic of arson,' writes historian Bench Ansfield in 'Born in Flames – The Business of Arson and the Remaking of the American City'(W.W. Norton). Advertisement 5 Building fires were common in the 70s and 80s in NYC, especially in the Bronx (pictured). The book disputes the long-held notion that tenants were responsible for many of the notorious fires that burned in NYC in the '70s and '80s, many of them in The Bronx. Instead, Ansfield places the blame on flawed and inadequate legislation and greedy landlords. After the protests and civil unrest in New York City in the 1960s, many smaller landlords had cut their losses in areas like The Bronx to seek new opportunities in the suburbs, leaving large amounts of cheap property waiting to be snapped up. Advertisement Eager to breathe life back into the area, a new federal and state initiative, the Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR), was launched in 1968 to encourage new investment by providing a state-backed safety net for property owners who could not obtain insurance in the standard market. The policy aimed to rectify inequalities, but Ansfield exposes how the policy instead deepened them, leading to widespread displacement and housing insecurity that continues to shape urban landscapes today. FAIR was fundamentally flawed. While it ensured new owners and tenants could get state-backed insurance for properties, it valued buildings at much higher sums than their actual market value, leading, inevitably, to corrupt landlords exploiting the policy. That was what happened with the building at 1895 Belmont Ave. Advertisement 5 They were such a regular occurrence that 'fire-watching' was a popular pastime. The bank valued it at just $5,000, but it was covered for $250,000 by insurance. Inevitably, it was targeted by its unscrupulous landlord. On Aug. 29, 1976, Carmine Lanni, the owner of the building and a landlord who specialized in buying run-down buildings, hired handyman Popo Vega to torch the place. That night, Vega hauled a five-gallon container of gasoline up to a vacant apartment on the fifth floor, dousing the unit with the fuel. When he tried to ignite it, the build-up of fumes resulted in a huge explosion instead. Advertisement Vega escaped, and, remarkably, nobody died. But some of the 17 families living in the building witnessed him doing it and reported him to the police. Soon after, Vega was arrested. He accepted a reduced sentence on the condition that he wear a wire when he next met with Lanni. 5 A new book examines the arson of the era and puts the blame on landlords, not residents. It wasn't long before Lanni had another job for Vega, asking him to burn down 2025 Valentine Ave., a building he had bought for just $7,000 but was now worth $100,000 if the insurance paid out. When police heard the conversation, Lanni was arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Evidence also revealed that Lanni was one of six landlords who ran an arson-for-hire business out of a Bronx storefront directly responsible for 17 fires in the area. Landlords, keen to insulate themselves from prosecution, routinely sought out young men or boys of color who lived near the buildings to do their dirty work, paying them to carry out the attacks. 'It was exceedingly difficult to incriminate anyone but the person who struck the match,' adds Ansfield. 5 The Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) made obtaining insurance easier — but it also overvalued buildings and made them a target for arson and insurance fraud. The trend also had the effect of deepening the impoverishment in The Bronx. 'To be a young person in The Bronx was to be shut off from most socially sanctioned means of earning money,' says Ansfield. 'For the young torches who made up the rank and file of the arson industry, the money they could scrape together burning buildings was a significant enticement.' Advertisement That, argues Ansfield, is the real reason Black and Brown tenants were blamed for the arson wave, not just in New York but across the country. 'All these decades later, the vague impression that Bronxites burned down their own borough endures,' he writes. 'Yet the evidence is unequivocal: the hand that torched The Bronx and scores of other cities was that of a landlord impelled by the market and guided by the state.' 5 A cartoon that ran in The Post in 1980 portrayed the issue. Advertisement More worrying, argues Ansfield, is that the inequality that fuelled the fires in the 1970s hasn't gone away. 'The wave of landlord arson has receded,' he says. 'Yet its source – the lethal alchemy of race and capitalism – endures.'

FAIR Investigative Report: Federal Takeover of DC Police Presents Opportunity to Dismantle Unlawful Sanctuary Policies and Align with National Immigration Priorities
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released a new investigative report examining the immigration enforcement implications of President Donald Trump's August 11, 2025 executive order federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) amid D.C.'s escalating crime crisis. The report argues that this bold federal intervention provides a pivotal chance for D.C. police and prosecutors to comply with federal immigration mandates, override the District's unlawful sanctuary policies, and prioritize the deportation of criminal illegal aliens — restoring public safety in the nation's capital. 'President Trump's decisive action to federalize MPD is a game-changer for immigration enforcement in D.C., where sanctuary policies have long shielded illegal aliens from accountability and turned our capital into a haven for criminals,' said Dale Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of FAIR. 'Our report exposes how these policies violate federal supremacy and outlines clear steps for MPD and prosecutors to align with national priorities, ensuring that no one gets a free pass based on immigration status.' Key findings and recommendations from the report include: 'Sanctuary policies in D.C. not only endanger residents but also undermine America's sovereignty,' said Mateo Forero, FAIR's director of investigations. 'We will continue to monitor developments in the District and will expand our investigation where appropriate — including through possible public records requests to hold government stakeholders accountable.'

‘Stunning survival': California man missing for two days rescued alive from behind a waterfall
In what authorities are calling a 'stunning survival story,' a man who was trapped behind a roaring waterfall in the Southern Sierra for two days was rescued on Tuesday. The man, identified by the Tulare County Sheriff's Office as 46-year-old Ryan Wardwell of Long Beach, had set out on Sunday in Sequoia National Forest with plans to rappel down the Seven Teacups, a series of tumbling granite waterfalls in a tributary of the Kern River north of Kernville. During periods of lower flows, the stair-step falls are a popular objective for rappellers who descend each feature via ropes and harnesses. Partway down the fall, Wardwell got stuck in a cavern behind one of the surging falls. He 'had come off his rappel lines and got trapped behind the waterfall because of the extreme hydraulics of the river,' according to a statement from the Sheriff's Office. Tulare County authorities were alerted about Wardwell being missing on Monday. After searching the river from above with an aircraft equipped with an infrared camera, they identified his 'possible location.' But 'due to the late hours of the day and technical difficulty of the area,' officials opted to wait until first light Tuesday morning to attempt a rescue. Early Tuesday, search teams were deployed to the area and were able to fly a drone behind the waterfall where Wardwell was trapped. He was 'found alive and responsive,' according to the Sheriff's Office. Next, a California Highway Patrol helicopter flew into the river canyon and lowered a rescuer on a hoist cable down into the cavern where Wardwell was stuck. The rescuer secured the stranded man onto the hoist cable and the helicopter was able to extract him safely. He emerged with 'only minor injuries and dehydration,' according to the Sheriff's Office. In the wake of the incident, Tulare County authorities want to remind 'the public to always be aware of their environment and capabilities, especially when navigating white water rivers.'
