Developer files lawsuit against Fayetteville, city attorney to ask council to reconsider vote
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A lawsuit has been filed against the City of Fayetteville after the City Council denied an appeal for a Dickson Street student-oriented housing proposal. A lawsuit filed on May 30 states that real estate developers Trinitas Ventures, LLC are seeking damages after a planned 611-bed housing development on 151 W Dickson St was denied multiple times. The suit claims that the project was submitted in full compliance with Fayetteville's Unified Development Code and met all required conditions for approval. It further states that although the development was recommended for approval by city staff, it was still ultimately denied at an April 14 meeting, through a 4-3 vote. Trinitas appealed the Planning Commission's denial of the project to the City Council on April 22. Adam Fire Cat to open drive-thru coffee shop in Fayetteville The Appeal from the Planning Commission's denial of the project then came before the City Council on May 20. The suit alleges that at that meeting, council members acknowledged that the project was in compliance with Fayetteville's UDC. However, five council members, Monique Jones, Sarah Moore, Bob Stafford, and Mike Wiederkehr voted against approving the project. Council members Scott Berna, Sarah Bunch, and D'Andre Jones voted in favor of granting the appeal. While council member Teresa Turk voted in abstention. Therefore, the appeal was rejected by the council in a 4-3-1 vote. However, the suit filed against the city claims that 'Turk illegally abstained from the vote.' In count one of the suit, Trinitas is asking for an 'Appeal of Final Administrative Decision.' Count two asks that the judge rule that Trinitas is facing 'Deprivation of Property Rights.' Through the suit, Trinitas is seeking damages 'including, but not limited to, lost rental revenue, increased loan carrying costs, and travel expenses required for the appeal.' It further states, 'The plaintiff should also be entitled to award of their cost of litigation and reasonable attorney's fees for this litigation and for the appeal to City Council due to the Planning Commission's violation of Fayetteville's UDC.' Now, Fayetteville's City Attorney, Kit Williams, says he plans to ask the city council to reconsider their vote regarding the development. In an interview with KNWA/FOX24, Williams says this would allow Turk to remand her vote, and choose to vote 'yes' or 'no.'

Clerk at govt school among 3 held in jail-to-hotel case
Jaipur: City police Thursday arrested three persons, including an upper division clerk (UDC) posted at a govt school, in connection with the case in which four Jaipur Central Jail inmates were last week found at hotels instead of SMS Hospital after being granted medical referrals. SHO (Lal Kothi) Banna Lal said identified the arrested persons as Hanuman Sahai Meena (25), the UDC, Shambhu Dayal (52), and Rahul Meena. All three are accused of helping route money for jail inmate Anandi Lal, who allegedly arranged forged medical referral slips. Police said Anandi Lal was working as an assistant at the jail dispensary and used his access to get fake referral slips issued. Investigations showed that four inmates paid Rs 20,000 each to Anandi through online transfers. "The inamtes made payments to Anandi's father Shambhu Dayal and his two friends Hanuman and Rahul," an officer said.' Police said records show a series of digital transactions linked to the three accused, suggesting that the arrangement may have been running for several months. On May 24 morning, four inmates—Ankit Bansal, Karan Gupta, Rafiq, and Bhanwar—complained of minor ailments such as headaches, stomach aches, and leg pain. These complaints, officials noted, were non-serious and could easily have been treated at the jail's dispensary.

Using power of dance to bring people together
Universal language: Malaysia's largest street dance event will be held on June 2 to promote unity among Malaysians. KUALA LUMPUR: For performers like Sherry Tay Ee Xue, the beauty of dance lies in its universal language of bridging diversity among the people. 'Despite the different style of every dancer, they come together to learn, collaborate and share each other's uniqueness through it,' she said. Reflecting on her recent experience performing in a unity-themed concert, she described it as a deeply meaningful venture. 'It reminds me why I dance in the first place: to express and connect. It's powerful to be a part of something that promotes togetherness, especially when the world feels divided,' said Tay, 31. And that, in essence, is the significance of Malaysia's largest street dance event to be held on June 2, aimed at promoting unity among Malaysians, in which Tay will be one of the dancers. This is the biggest version of the United Dance Concert (UDC) which took place with about 250 performers led by 17 instructors, each choreographing routines in various street dance genres. 'We named it as such because we wanted an event to bring the young together in the spirit of unity. 'There is no better way than to gather and dance,' said founder and director of UDC Sien Mar Vin. He said the dance event had been progressing since its inception eight years ago. The event, he said, was initially aimed at breaking boundaries between classes and cliques within the academy. 'Even though we had quite a number of students, they were always separated into their own groups. There was no real sense of unity. 'So we came up with this idea – to bring everyone together, not just within our academy but also from outside. 'One night, one show, all together. It brings meaning back to the art form,' said Sien, who heads a dance academy specialising in street style moves like hip-hop. The scale of the production was huge this year, he said. He said the show will take place at Zepp, which could fit about 1,800 people. 'For a street dance concert, that's huge,' he added. Another highlight is UDC's collaboration with REPZ – short for 'Repz Your Style' – Malaysia's leading street dance festival. Sien said the street dance scene in Malaysia was growing and taking on a whole new scale. 'When we come together like this, it gives everyone a sense of purpose. It's what keeps the community alive,' he said. Dancer Trezshur-Ann Leong said the beauty of dance lies in its universal language. 'It is one that transcends barriers and brings people together through shared movement and emotion. Dance ultimately boils down to the connection between people and their bodies,' said Leong, reflecting on the unifying power of the art form. 'When dancing, whether observing or doing, whatever baggage you have from life can be set aside for a moment, and you can just connect with the movements.' Recalling a standout moment from her dancing journey, Leong, 21, pointed to the 2023 UDC concert – the first held after the Covid-19 pandemic. 'Preparing for that piece was challenging as I hadn't gone through the tough training in years. 'But in the weeks leading up to the concert, the team's bond strengthened and everyone was motivated to put on a good show. The concert was one of the peak moments where we felt like one,' she added. Tickets for the concert can be purchased via by selecting the 'United Dance Concert' under the concert tab, where seat and standing options are available.
