Affordable housing fund passes part of goal
HIGH POINT — The David R. Hayworth Foundation will commit $1 million to a new affordable housing initiative being organized by a local nonprofit, putting the initiative over part of its fundraising goal. The goal of the High Point Community Foundation's Housing Impact Fund is to raise $10 million from public and private sources and $30 million from banks and other lenders, and the Hayworth donation pushes it to $10.5 million from public and private sources, the foundation said. Since longtime High Point philanthropist David Hayworth died July 1, 2022, his private foundation has been investing in projects that he would have supported, and it is the High Point Community Foundation's goal to keep his name and spirit alive in the community he so loved, community foundation President Paul Lessard said. 'David loved High Point and always looked for ways to make our community stronger. I know he would be pleased that this money will go to provide high-quality housing for children and families,' Lessard said. The concept is for the fund to be used to provide loans for developers to build multifamily 'workforce housing' rental units in High Point for teachers, firefighters, police officers and others who earn less than the area median income. The loans would carry low interest rates and terms that make affordable projects attractive for developers. Its goal will be to generate 1,000 housing units over 20 years. Self-Help Ventures Fund, a nonprofit lender based in Durham, will lend the money. High Point University announced a $500,000 gift to the fund in February, and the City Council committed $2 million last month. The Hayworth Foundation's commitment brings the total raised to about $8.5 million.

Slain California fire captain's fugitive wife 'scared' ex mother-in-law
The former mother-in-law of a California woman, who is on the run for allegedly murdering her Cal Fire captain wife, said she was "scared" of her. The mother of James Joseph Olejniczak Jr., who was fatally stabbed by Yolanda Marodi, shared her interaction with her former daughter-in-law before she killed her son in 2000. "My son was a good man. He was, everybody wants to say that about their children, but my oldest boy was my good boy," his mother, Nancy Hayworth, told Kgtv. Hayworth described Marodi as "scary," noting Rebecca "Becky" Marodi, 49, a Cal Fire captain who was found stabbed to death inside her home on Feb. 17, and her son's murder were eerily similar. "Scary, very scary, she scares me," Hayworth said. "She always has."

She served more than 13 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter before her release in 2013, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Hayworth said that her 13 years in prison was not enough time for killing her son. "I thought, how could someone take someone's life and only be in a few years and then be let out and get to live your life, and my son will never have that," Hayworth said. Yolanda Marodi's murder of Olejniczak came nearly 25 years before Rebecca Marodi was stabbed to death in her home on Feb. 17. An arrest warrant, obtained by KABC, details that Rebecca told Yolanda she was leaving her and ending their marriage nearly a week before she was murdered.

The couple then disappeared for nearly 10 minutes before Yolanda was seen gathering belongings, dressed in a different outfit and loading up the Chevrolet Equinox and fleeing the scene. The San Diego Sheriff's Office believes Yolanda Marodi is driving a silver 2013 Chevrolet Equinox with California license plate "8BQJ420."

The Department of Homeland Security reported spotting her car as it crossed the border. "At this time, Olejniczak's whereabouts are not known. Out of an abundance of caution, the Sheriff's Office has alerted authorities on both sides of the border about this suspect," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
