Henderson Police Honor Fallen Officers

Henderson Police Honor Fallen Officers

 

Henderson Police remembered the officers who gave their lives to protect their community by wearing black bands on their badges Wednesday.

The remembrance was part of National Police Week, which started Sunday and will wrap up locally with a Southern Nevada Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony May 23 at Police Memorial Park.

There has been only one Henderson Police officer to die in the line of duty. Officer Edward F. Meagher died while driving a fire truck to a fire in 1956.

He was collided with a milk truck at the intersection of Boulder Highway and Vegas Wash Drive, which is now Lake Mead Parkway.

8 on Your Side: Woman Victimized by Alleged Scammer

HENDERSON, Nev. - A few weeks ago, Sandra Berrigan's life turned upside down.

"I am living in an empty house, or should I say I am not living?" she said.

Berrigan put her home on the market. She planned to move to North Carolina to be with her daughter and grandchild. One day before closing, she says her whole life was robbed.

Her realtor needed Berrigan's trust documents to close the sale, but Berrigan didn't have a trust - or so she thought.

She soon discovered someone had taken her home right from under her, and she never knew it. The problem dates back to 2003.

"I had taken out a loan ten years ago," she said.

The loan came from Eric Alpert, a former real estate agent and lender whose license was revoked in 2004. Berrigan learned Alpert obtained ownership of her home.

Greenspun Students Campaign for Lake Mead Health

Greenspun Students Campaign for Lake Mead Health

 

A group of local middle school students wants southern Nevadans to be aware of what they call an environmental hazard at Lake Mead.

Greenspun Junior High School Leadership Club students are launching a public campaign about “the dangers and the damage done by the use of carbureted 2-stroke engines.”

In 2013, a ban on personal watercrafts with carbureted 2-stroke engines went into effect to help reduce pollution at the lake. Leadership Club students, led by educators Gwendolyn Buckles and Katie Litzenberg, started an educational campaign named “Lake MEad.” It focuses on the effects pollution has in southern Nevada’s public recreation areas.

The students created a multimedia campaign to spread the word about the 2-stroke engine ban at the lake. During their after-school club, students chose this cause as their annual community project.

Supreme Court Schedules Arguments on Dog Case

HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Nevada Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments in the case involving a dog that killed a 1-year-old baby.

The arguments will be heard Wednesday, July 3, at 11:30 a.m. in Carson City.

An animal rights group is trying to save the dog, named Onion, from being put down. A judge ruled in August that The Lexus Project could appeal the City of Henderson's decision to euthanize the dog.

The city determined the dog was dangerous after it killed a baby boy in April 2012.

Henderson Family Mourns Victims in PA. Deadly Fire

LAS VEGAS -- A Henderson family is grieving the loss of a six people killed in a fast moving fire.

The raging fire consumed a home in Pennsylvania killing two adults and four young children Sunday.

Rodney Brown sits in his Henderson home thousands of miles away and is still processing what's happened to his nephew, Eric Brown and his family.

The fire happened on Mother's Day in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles Northwest of Philadelphia. 

The YouTube video is a real-life nightmare, with the screams, orange flames shooting from the home, and firefighters powerless against the intense heat.

"Obviously it's disbelief, you don't want to believe it," Brown said. "After a while the reality sets in, and there are actually hardly any words that I can come up with that describe the feeling at the time when you finally make the realization."
