Man accused of kidnapping, beating, trying to strangle girlfriend at Barstow motel
A woman escaped from a Barstow motel room where police say her boyfriend beat her, held her against her will and tried to strangle her with a plastic zip tie. The incident was first reported as a "domestic disturbance" about 12:15 a.m. Monday at a motel in the 1200 block of West Main Street, according to the Barstow Police Department. The victim has been involved in an argument with her boyfriend, identified as Timothy Loring, 34, of Barstow, officials said. Loring began punching and kicking the woman, police said in a written statement. "During the assault, the victim stated she was able to run away from Loring, but he soon caught up with her and threatened to kill her if she did not return to the room," according to the statement. Once back in the room, police said the suspect continued assaulting the victim while "brandishing a knife, insisting he would kill her." "At one point, Loring wrapped a zip tie around the victim's neck, and he tried to cinch it down to choke her," the statement said. "The victim placed her hand between the zip-tie and her neck, preventing the zip-tie from completely cinching down. The victim fled from Loring and contacted police." Evidence corroborating the woman's account was found at the scene. Loring tried to run from officers but was captured following a brief foot chase, authorities added. He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, kidnapping, domestic violence and making criminal threats, San Bernardino County booking records show. Bail was set at $1 million pending legal proceedings.

Tasmanian Netball League 2025 live stream: Cripps v Karana, Round 16
Don't miss out on the headlines from Netball Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. While they may not have secured a win so far this season, Karana could very well play a major part in shaping the TNL's top four. And while he'd clearly love to have a few wins under the belt, Karana coach Rick Loring is just ensuring his players 'stay in the moment'. The Flames will get the chance to both turn their fortunes around and cause an upset when they face finals-bound Cripps on Saturday. Both the Opens and U19s matches will be available live and exclusive on KommunityTV from 4pm. Despite their poor record, Loring believes his side's best is good enough. 'We have played some really good moments throughout the season,' Loring said. 'When we have zipped through the defence of other teams we have looked really good and it shows we can match it with them. 'It isn't something we have really looked at, the ladder, but it could be a way to motivate the girls for the rest of the season. 'They have been really good at sticking together, we have had injuries that have impacted us definitely but they have stayed pretty close as a group which is great to see.' Cripps sit fourth and on the same amount of points as fifth placed Devon, who will be taking on the third-place Hawks this weekend. The Hawks are two games clear in third spot. With five rounds to go, the top three look almost set on the ladder with fourth place still up for grabs between Cripps and Devon. 'We play (Devon) after the Kings Birthday bye weekend, a road trip up there which will be nice for the group,' Loring said. 'I wish we had to travel earlier in the season as it bonds the group together. 'It is a long trip, four hours up on the bus and then four hours back and we will do it in a day as well. 'But maybe I can use the motivation about the ladder to get the girls up as well. 'Hopefully it creates a bit more for the girls and we can jag a win.'

Spell of the ball: Hancock County student wins Maine State Spelling Bee
Mar. 22—BRUNSWICK — Seventh grader Esme Filippo from The Bay School in Hancock County is headed to the nation's most prestigious spelling bee after securing a win on Saturday at the Maine State Spelling Bee with the word "domesticity." Saturday's competition, held at Bowdoin College in Brunswick and presented by the Maine Trust for Local News, lasted 22 rounds and featured 13 middle school-age students from 13 different counties. The annual Maine State Spelling Bee determines which of the state's savviest spellers will go on to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in National Harbor, Maryland, in May. Students qualified for the state bee through winning their school and county competitions. Filippo and her parents were thrilled following her win and excited to make the trip to the Scripps bee. "My friends said they'd watch me on TV," Filippo said. The contest kicked off with a few perfect rounds. Competitors slowly tapered off as they attempted to spell more and more difficult words. There were some tough misses, like "kernel" spelled "colonel" and "phishing" spelled "fishing." Former longtime Press Herald sports writer Glenn Jordan led the judging team alongside his wife, Nancy Jordan, managing editor at National Geographic Learning English Language Teaching. Jeannine Uzzi, Thomas College president, served as the word pronouncer. "I think it's great for them to stand on stage in front of a microphone, and you're pretty vulnerable out there," said Glenn Jordan, who has been judging the Maine State Spelling Bee for about a decade. "And some kids really love spelling; it's fun for them to learn words and learn about words and languages." At the round 10 break, there were just five spellers remaining in the bee. Students could ask for clarification on definitions, word origins and word use — but the spelling was all them. Kytanna Loring, an eighth grader at Central Middle School in Corinth, represented Penobscot County and was among the final few spellers. Loring won second place in her school bee, qualifying for the Penobscot County bee, which she won. "I like trying to memorize all the letters, trying to guess what the words are going to be that they're going to ask. I think it's very fun," Loring said. Nerves were high leading up to the big competition. "I'm incredibly nervous. I'm also excited," Loring said before getting on stage. "This is an amazing opportunity, but I definitely got some jitters." By the time the competition whittled away to the final two contestants — Filippo from Hancock and sixth grader Addie Rosato, representing Cape Elizabeth Middle School in Cumberland County — it was neck-and-neck. Both students made it through one round with the words "polyester" and "embryo." When Rosato slipped up on "chemise," Filippo had a chance to secure the win with "depreciate," but missed. The two continued spelling for four more rounds, reciting words like "stegosaur" and "schooner" with ease. At round 21, Rosato misspelled "cochin" and Filippo spelled "pinnate" correctly, followed by her final word, "domesticity," and was named Maine's spelling bee champion. "I did not think I was going to win; (Rosato) definitely knew what she was doing," Filippo said following the bee. Filippo said she was studying her words throughout the car ride to the Bowdoin campus on Saturday. Her parents said she's loved spelling bees from a young age. "She started participating when she was a little kid, and then COVID hit, and she didn't for a while," said her mom, Alison Rudel. "This year, at her school, she actually requested that they do the spelling bee, because they don't always." Filippo will head to the Scripps National Spelling Bee on May 27-29 for a chance of taking the win — and the $50,000 prize — home to Maine. The finals will air live on the ION network.
