A Memorial Day Wreath Brings Military Families Together to Heal Through Their Grief
It's a powerful feeling to know you're needed—especially when you're needed by a grieving child. Amanda Carnes tenderly held onto the young boy as he cried for his military father who had died from suicide. Carnes wanted to give him the same kind of love and care that she would give to her own daughter during times of need. She held him tightly—and it meant the world to him. She is a volunteer for Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), an organization dedicated to the bereaved who have lost a loved one in the military. As a Marine Corps officer who has witnessed the loss of colleagues and the impact that loss has had on their families, Carnes knows the importance of connecting with these military families and remembering their sacrifices. She feels blessed to be part of their grief journey toward finding healing and peace. 'It may not seem like you're making a difference at first, but you do,' she said. 'You see them transition through … it and you're there with them in their moments.' Carnes had learned about TAPS's mission early in her Marine Corps career. In 2013, the native Texan decided to volunteer as a 'military mentor' for the organization, offering emotional support to families with a loved one in the military who has passed away. She also acts as a chaperone for TAPS's annual Memorial Day weekend camp for children who have lost their military parents—which is where she met the young boy. Hand-drawn messages created for the TAPS Honor Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Memorial Day Weekend 2023. Courtesy of TAPS Children and teens from ages 5 to 18 are divided into small peer groups where they participate in recreational activities, as well as healing exercises to verbally express their grief, gain new coping skills, and connect with others who have experienced loss too. At the same time, their parents and guardians attend their own sessions on-site at what's called the Annual National Military Survivor Seminar, to better navigate their own grief journeys through counseling and workshops. Carnes said not all children are in places of grief, so you meet them where they are, to be a positive, uplifting presence in their lives. 'You're there to be a big brother or sister to them. To hear these stories of resilience is incredible. It … keeps you coming back even if you don't have the answers.' The activities reach a crescendo with the creation of the annual TAPS Honor Wreath that is presented at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. Rain or shine, without fail for the past 30 years, TAPS coordinates a special wreath-laying ceremony for hundreds of families who have experienced the loss of a loved one who served in the United States Armed Forces. During Memorial Day weekend, each participant at TAPS's camp event draws a silhouette of their hand and crafts a message in remembrance of their loved one. Courtesy of TAPS The wreath is created from every child who attends the weekend camp. They scribble, write, and draw heartfelt handwritten messages on a paper silhouette of their own hand. Hundreds of silhouettes are then assembled together by dedicated volunteers. This remains the weekend's most touching representation of love, gratitude, and thanksgiving. Carnes said one of the greatest honors of her life was when she was tapped to carry and lay the TAPS Honor Wreath in 2023. That morning, she wore the Marine Corps 'dress blues' uniform with medals, ribbons, and badges and arrived by bus to the Arlington cemetery. According to Carnes, the creation almost didn't make it through security due to its large size. She was an active duty Marine at the time; she feels she was put in the right place at the right time, as it was her last act on active duty. 'It felt so surreal that the chapter I was closing signified everything I believe in: servant leadership, giving back to others, and standing up for those who served and did not die in vain.'

Eerie graffiti spotted near where toddler vanished while playing hide and seek
Little William Tyrrell was just three when he vanished from the garden of his foster grandmother, where he had been playing with his sister and wearing a Spider-Man outfit Eerie graffiti was spotted close to where a toddler vanished 11 years ago while playing hide and seek. A man noticed four red words sprayed on a tree stump two years after William Tyrell went missing, and says he alerted police but never heard anything more about it. Bob Carnes said he came across the graffiti about just over half a mile from Bird Tree, a landmark in Kendal, New South Wales, about 230 miles northeast of Sydney, where three-year-old William was last seen. Mr Carnes added his "stomach churned" when he learned the area close to the site became subject to renewed search calls. Mr Carnes told that he found the stump with the words "Jesus Saves William Tyrrell" in 2016, two years after the boy went missing. He had been on a family trip before coming across the "eerie" graffiti. "We reported it to the police, they went out and looked at it, called me for directions and we never heard another thing about it again," he told the outlet. "Then today I read this and think 'just imagine if this stump was somehow connected?' What an oversight it may have been. "It sent chills through me when we came across it all those years ago and still does when I think about it today. Who writes something like that on a stump in the middle of the bush? We still don't know what happened to the young fella but whoever sprayed this stump obviously had formed an opinion." Little William vanished from the garden of his foster grandmother's home in Kendall on September 12, 2014, with a huge search operation being mounted to find him. Over 10 days locals and officials searched the rural area, looking in forests and creeks. But no trace of the toddler - who had been wearing a Spider-Man outfit while playing hide and seek with his sister - have been found, despite the efforts of emergency services over the years. Many theories have been shared over the circumstances around his disappearance as well as what happened to him. An inquest into his death at the New South Wales Coroners Court, held between 2019 and 2024, heard allegations the foster mother - who cannot be named - hid his body away after he "died from a fall," amid concerns she would be unable to access more children through the care system. According to CrimeStoppers Australia, some 38,000 missing persons reports are made each year across the country. While the overwhelming majority of these people are found within a short period of time there are about 2,600 who remain missing for more than three months.

Frankfort man charged in hit-and-run death of Elwood teen
ELWOOD — A Frankfort man has been charged in the Saturday night hit-and-run that killed an Elwood teen. Michael A. Carnes, 77, faces a charge of leaving the scene of a fatal accident, a Level 4 felony. Darken Jeske, 16, was pronounced dead at St. Vincent Mercy Hospital in Elwood. Jeske was running at the time of the incident — just before midnight — at Ninth and Main streets, according to a Madison County Sheriff's Department media release. A 2017 Ram 1500 pickup driven Carnes struck Jeske but did not stop at the scene of the crash, police said. The Frankfort man was followed by a witness and later apprehended by police in Windfall, the sheriff's office reported. "Mr. Carnes spoke with investigators this morning and has been cooperative since the time of the crash," a Tuesday press release from the sheriff's department related. "It has been determined Mr. Carnes was aware he struck something on the night of the crash prior to leaving the scene." Jeske was a freshman at Tipton High School, where he was a member of the wrestling team. A post on the Elwood schools Facebook page noted that Jeske had attended Elwood schools. Jeremiah Nunemacher, head wrestling coach at Tipton High School, said he was heartbroken by the news of Jeske's death. 'He was always eager to learn,' Nunemacher said. 'He was always helpful, wanting to be in, always wanting to help out the other kids.

Superior Court judge rejects Chevron's motion to dismiss landmark climate change lawsuit
The Chevron logo is displayed at a Chevron gas station on May 22, 2023 in Burbank, Calif. A Rhode Island Superior Court judge on April 22 rejected Chevron's attempt to gut the state's complaint against Chevron and 20 other oil and gas companies named in a 2018 lawsuit brought by Rhode Island's attorney general on alleged procedural violations. (Photo by) Rhode Island's first-in-the-nation state lawsuit against fossil fuel companies continues into its seventh year after surviving an attempt by one of the defendants to gut the state's case on alleged procedural violations. Rhode Island Associate Justice William E. Carnes in an April 22 decision rejected all of the arguments made by Chevron Corporation. Chevron was one of 21 oil and gas companies sued for its role in exacerbating climate change in a landmark state climate change lawsuit brought by then-Attorney General Peter Kilmartin in 2018. The complaint seeks damages from fossil fuel companies on the assertion that for each company, 'a substantial portion of fossil fuel products are or have been extracted, refined, transported, traded, distributed, marketed, promoted, manufactured, sold, and/or consumed in Rhode Island.' After years of appeals, concluding after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up the case in April 2023, Chevron returned to state court seeking to have a portion of the case thrown out. The company contended the state failed to investigate or prove that any fossil fuel extraction, refinement or production occurred in Rhode Island, violating a clause of state court civil procedure known as Rule 11. Attorneys for both sides made their case before Carnes in an April 16 hearing in Providence County Superior Court. Carnes in his 15-page decision concluded there was no evidence of improper actions by the state — at least, not enough to meet the 'high bar' of imposing penalties for Rule 11 violations. 'The Court must balance competing concerns when evaluating whether to issue sanctions because sanctions 'can haunt an attorney throughout his or her career' with 'ramifications [that] go far beyond the particular case,'' Carnes wrote, quoting from a 2017 state Supreme Court decision reversing a lower court's sanctions against an attorney in the case. Carnes' rejection of Chevron's pleadings does not signal an outcome on the overall decision in the case, including potentially awarding damages from fossil fuel companies. The next hearing in the case is slated for May 8, according to the public court docket. Timothy Rondeau, a spokesperson for the Rhode Island Office of the Attorney General, praised Carnes' decision. 'We are grateful for Judge Carnes' careful consideration, evaluation, and ultimate conclusion that the State acted properly,' Rondeau said in a statement Thursday. 'We look forward to continuing to fight on behalf of Rhode Islanders and for environmental justice.' While legal precedent demands a specific standard to penalize attorneys for procedural violations, there is no formal court ruling or history on the use of 'and/or,' another key part of Chevron's legal arguments. Attorneys for Chevron insisted the state's use of 'and/or' in its original complaint meant it must prove that all of listed fossil fuel activities — manufacturing, refinement, sales and more — were performed by each company in Rhode Island. Attorneys for the state countered that the 'and/or' caveat meant at least one, but not all, of the listed activities, could be proven. Carnes' conclusion? 'Rhode Island has not formally adopted any legal precedent around the use of 'and/or,' and, even if Rhode Island courts had done so, the State's Complaint is not improper because the contested allegations are well grounded in fact based on the State's interpretation of paragraph 21(g) and Chevron's filings with the State of Rhode Island,' he wrote. He also pushed back against Chevron's citations from the websites of the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources and the U.S. Department of Energy, both of which said there is no oil production or refinement in Rhode Island. Carnes' noted that the federal information was outdated — based on data from 2011 to 2014 — while the state website information does not specify if petroleum-based fuels were ever produced in Rhode Island, simply that they are not locally produced at present. Other exhibits filed by attorneys for the state, including business filings with the Rhode Island Department of State, suggest Chevron and its subsidiaries have done sales business in Rhode Island as recently as 2024. 'It cannot be fairly said that the allegations which Chevron has moved to strike have no relation to the controversy because the State provided evidence that Chevron may have had Rhode Island manufacturing, refining, and other raw material activities,' Carnes wrote. Carnes on April 16 ordered Chevron to hand over additional documentation regarding its business activity in Rhode Island. The company has 90 days to turn over evidence to the state for its case. Judges in four other states, including New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and New York have tossed similar state, county or city-level challenges against fossil fuel companies. But dozens more remain under consideration in state-level courts across the country, including in Massachusetts. And in March, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up the bid led by Republican state attorneys general that would have blocked these lawsuits from proceeding. Theodore Boutrous, an attorney with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP in California representing Chevron, pointed to the dismissals in other state courts in a response Thursday to Carnes' decision. 'As the New Jersey Superior Court held in dismissing New Jersey's similar state lawsuit, 'the leading and most persuasive case supporting dismissal is the Second Circuit decision in City of New York,'' Boutrous said in an emailed statement. 'There, the federal appeals court rejected the availability of state tort law in the climate change context.' SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
