Bobie Jo Arnoux Sentenced in U.S. District Court Bill Mercer , United States Attorney for the District of Montana , announced today that during a federal court session in Great Falls , on August 31 , 2009 , before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon , BOBIE JO ARNOUX , a 35-year-old resident of Browning , appeared for sentencing . ARNOUX was sentenced to a term of : - Prison : 8 months - Special Assessment : $ 200 - Restitution : $ 38,900 - Supervised Release : 3 years - Community Service : 80 hours ARNOUX was sentenced in connection with her guilty plea to conspiracy to defraud an Indian tribal organization and theft from an Indian tribal organization . In an Offer of Proof filed by Carl E. Rostad , the government stated it would have proved at trial the following : Between January 7 , 2008 , and May 5 , 2008 , forty-six fraudulent checks totaling $ 62,270 were written off the accounts of the Blackfeet Tribal Credit Department , an agency of the Blackfeet Tribe tasked with providing short-term loans - to a maximum of $ 1,500 - to qualifying tribal members . Alex Good Rider was a staff employee of the Blackfeet Tribal Credit Department , ARNOUX was a Treatment Admissions Clerk for the Crystal Creek Lodge Treatment Center , and Clarice Hall was an Administrative Assistant at the Blackfeet Tribal Credit Department . The scheme began when Good Rider and ARNOUX approached tribal members and , in exchange for a portion of the fraudulent loan proceeds , had them fill out a short-term loan application . These `` nominee borrowers '' were tribal members - generally friends , relatives or co-workers of the three - who would agree to have their names used to complete loan applications and to transact a tribal check representing the proceeds of the loan in exchange for a share of the proceeds . Nominees would be assured that they would not be called upon to repay the debt to the tribe . Good Rider would process the applications , knowing that there was no bonafide need on behalf of the borrower for a loan and no intention to have the loan repaid . The processed loan would then be forwarded to the Blackfeet Tribal Treasurer who , believing that the applications were legitimate loan requests from qualified borrowers , would sign a tribal check for the amount of the loan . Good Rider , ARNOUX , or Hall would then have the nominee sign the tribal check and split the proceeds . Good Rider would then shred all of the paperwork at the Credit Department so there was no record of the check being issued . As the scheme progressed without discovery , the conspirators began taking shortcuts to expedite the thefts . Good Rider would steal blank tribal checks from stock on hand at the Credit Department . The checks were then completed using either a Credit Department typewriter that Good Rider had removed from the office , or a second typewriter he borrowed from a friend . Both typewriters were analyzed and determined to be the mechanical source of fraudulent checks . Several previously unknown fraudulent checks were discovered from the ribbon of the second typewriter . Good Rider would then forge the signature of the Blackfeet Tribal Treasurer to the fraudulent check . The check would be negotiated and the proceeds divided up between the principals and the nominee . Thirty-two of the forty-six checks contained the Treasurer 's forged signature . ARNOUX was one of the masterminds behind the scheme which involved a loss of $ 62,270 . Good Rider and Hall pled guilty to federal charges and have been sentenced . Because there is no parole in the federal system , the `` truth in sentencing '' guidelines mandate that ARNOUX will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court . In the federal system , ARNOUX does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for `` good behavior . '' However , this reduction will not exceed 15 % of the overall sentence . The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Inspector General 's Office for the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Blackfeet Tribe Criminal Investigation Division .

Farewell : The stage is set for my departure As theatre critic , Pat Donnelly was privileged to witness one of the most exciting periods in Quebec theatre history So many plays , so many books , so many circuses . And now , at last , I ’ m done . It dawned on me long ago that I was working within a changing industry . Reading the newspaper that landed on the doorstep in the morning was once a sacred ritual . Now , with many readers , that has given way to feverish scanning of cell phones and iPads . All must be reinvented , reimagined , repackaged , yet ultimately sold to someone . Therein lies the journalistic challenge for the next generation . After 31 years of writing about the arts , it ’ s time to kick the daily newspaper writing habit , an addiction that has driven , defined and scheduled my life for far too long . Burnout is for other people ; journalists just keep going as long as they can . According to our ( incomplete ) database , I ’ ve written 4,200 stories since 1990 . My journey with The Gazette began seven years before that , in the spring of 1984 , with a review of a silly comedy called the Owl and the Pussycat at La Diligence dinner theatre . I was a freelancer back then , paying the rent by teaching drama at Montreal Children ’ s Theatre while writing a play with the support of a Canada Council grant . I had already learned that making a decent living in theatre as an actor , director or playwright was incredibly difficult . Poet Ann Diamond had introduced me to recently hired Gazette theatre critic Marianne Ackerman , a fellow single mother who was already feeling the burden of the job and wanted freelance backup . I learned how to review plays , one painful sentence at a time , because it paid well and I had a child to support . To this day , I hate writing , especially on deadline , although I love seeing the finished product in print . In those days , I wrote on a typewriter at home , used liquid whiteout to cover mistakes , and delivered the copy by hand . Someone at the paper transcribed and edited it before typesetters prepared it for print . Four years later , after Ackerman opted for a life as a playwright and novelist , I was hired by arts editor Jim Baine as Gazette theatre critic , a position which I held until 2001 . After that , I took on the literary beat as the Gazette ’ s first full-time book critic for six years . When Matt Radz , who had taken over the theatre beat , retired in 2007 , I was asked by arts editor Mark Tremblay to return to the cloistered life of writing during the day and seeing countless plays at night . Looking back , it was all ( to borrow a title from the late Eugene O ’ Neill ) a strange interlude , from start to finish . As a theatre critic , I was privileged to witness one of the most exciting periods in Quebec theatre history , when Robert Lepage was first making waves , the Montreal Fringe Festival was born and Montreal ’ s bilingual Les Misérables won the admiration of the world . Sylvie Drapeau starred in all the best French plays . The Cirque du Soleil went from one triumph to another . Montrealer Richard Monette ruled the Stratford Festival . The biennial Festival TransAmériques , founded by the indomitable Marie-Hélène Falcon , expanded to became an annual hybrid of theatre and dance . And La Licorne , my favourite francophone theatre , began to lead the way with English surtitles . Meanwhile , Montreal ’ s subscription season theatres ( Centaur Theatre , Théâtre du Nouveau Monde , the Segal Centre , Théâtre du Rideau Vert , etc . ) provided a steady , eclectic selection of works to their loyal customers . Smaller anglophone companies , such as Teesri Duniya , Imago , Infinitheatre , Persephone Productions and Black Theatre Workshop struggled to do more with less . And they continue to do so , often with exciting results . Countless others expired along the way . Last weekend , I took in Robert Lepage ’ s Jeux de cartes : Coeur , a second time , at our unique circus/theatre venue , Tohu , to scrutinize its progression . It was good to be reminded that among the best francophone theatre artists of Quebec , global awareness and sensitivity to other cultures has been around for decades . And yes , Coeur is now a stronger show , but there ’ s no time left to say more . Tick tock . As a literary critic , I reviewed many memorable books ( such as The Book of Negroes ) , interviewed some of the world ’ s top authors ( Peter Carey was a riot ) , and applied my theatre-festival-covering strategies to the fledgling Blue Metropolis Literary Festival . Some things I won ’ t miss . Like standing on St-Laurent Blvd . corner at midnight searching for a bus or taxi after seeing my fourth Montreal Fringe Festival show of the day . It may take years to re-establish regular eating habits . At press time , I am still partly in denial about leaving . But I ’ m eager to catch up on movies , books and music and looking forward to spending quality time with my two adorable grandchildren , Lennox and Aimée . Many thanks to editor-in-chief Lucinda Chodan who has allowed me to make a graceful exit before the spring festival rush , and to all of the Gazette staff who have put up with me . Especially the sharp-eyed copy editors who caught my mistakes before the presses rolled , the photographers who made my stories look far more interesting than many of them actually were , and our computer wizards like Rob Ramsey who rescued me so many times from technical glitches . If I don ’ t do something interesting with the rest of my life , it ’ s my own damned fault . Farewell , adieu , et bon spectacle ! Stay tuned . And do stay in touch .

Riverside Man Arrested on Federal Charges Alleging He Sold Fentanyl-Laced Pills that Led to Student ’ s Fatal Overdose RIVERSIDE , California – Authorities this morning arrested a Riverside man who allegedly sold counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl that caused the fatal overdose of a college student who was visiting her family for the holidays two years ago . Brandon Michael McDowell , 22 , was arrested at his residence without incident , and he is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon in United States District Court in Riverside . McDowell was named in a grand jury indictment filed Wednesday that charges him with one count of distributing fentanyl resulting in death . The fentanyl-distribution charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in federal prison and a maximum possible sentence of life without parole . McDowell allegedly distributed fentanyl in the form of counterfeit oxycodone M30 pills on December 22 , 2019 . The 19-year-old victim in this case , who is identified in the indictment as “ A.C. , ” died after ingesting the drug at her Temecula home . Investigators believe she crushed at least one of the pills and snorted the drug shortly before succumbing to the powerful opioid in the pills . The investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration , the Riverside County Sheriff ’ s Department , Homeland Security Investigations and the Riverside County District Attorney ’ s Office found evidence that the victim ordered the pills from McDowell on Snapchat . “ This is another incredibly sad case that demonstrates the deadly threat of fentanyl that is now seen in a wide array of drugs sold on the street , ” said United States Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison . “ My office and our law enforcement partners will continue to investigate fatal overdose cases to identify and bring to justice every individual involved in the trafficking of fentanyl. ” Assistant United States Attorney John Balla and Special Assistant United States Attorney Stephen Merrill of the Riverside Branch Office are prosecuting this case .

SAND ISLAND , OAHU ( HAWAIINEWSNOW ) - By : Jim Mendoza Container Storage Company of Hawaii has started retrofitting the first two shipping containers the city will use at its Hale Mauliola transitional housing center on Sand Island . `` We 're basically putting in drywall , doors and windows and some LED lights , '' Chris Thometz said . Each container will have a three foot by three foot aluminum sliding window with a screen . The entrance will have a steel door outfitted with a combination lock and a screen door . `` The main security door will open inward . The screen door will open outward . And when you open the window and the main door you can have flow through ventilation nicely , '' Thometz said . By November , 25 containers will be on the Sand Island site , where paving is being completed and lighting has been installed . `` We 're waiting for Hawaiian Electric Company to tap in the high voltage line , install the riser power cable , and install the transformer , '' Department of Facility Maintenance deputy director Ed Manglallan said . Drywall partitions will divide the containers into two or three units . Walls will be insulated and painted and vinyl floors will go down . `` Outside then we 're going to paint it , put roof coating which cuts down heat gain and protects the roof from leaks , '' Thometz said . A roof tent will connect the containers , provide shade , and help cool the units . `` Between the insulated interior walls and roof coating and the shade cloth , we 're going to have some very comfortable units , '' Thometz said . Container Storage is getting paid about $ 500,000 to transform the containers into modular dwellings , then deliver and install them . The first two will be finished in a week or two .

When the Federal Reserve announced it would shave $ 10 billion off its next round of purchases of asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasurys , the markets cheered . Presumably , that ’ s because investors interpreted the taper as a sign that Ben Bernanke thinks the economy is finally on the path to decent growth . But if things are looking up , why is inflation so dreadfully low ? There are several schools of thought on the matter : Inflation is low because of an ingenious new Fed policy . In 2008 , writes Martin Feldstein , the Fed started doing something it hadn ’ t done before : Paying interest on the excess reserves of commercial banks . Let me explain . Banks are required to hold a certain percentage of customers ’ deposits at the Fed . It used to be that if the banks parked money at Fed beyond the required amount , they wouldn ’ t earn any interest on it , giving them an incentive to lend out anything they could to businesses and households . That , though , changed in 2008 . Feldstein and others argue that paying interest on excess reserves gave the banks a reason to pile up money at the central bank rather than let Americans borrow it . This , goes the theory , allowed the Fed to mop up the extra money it has been printing to stimulate the economy . Had that extra money been allowed to circulate through the economy , it would have pushed up prices . This way , it didn ’ t . Catch : This doesn ’ t really explain why inflation at one point shot past the Fed ’ s target of 2 % — it averaged 3.2 % in 2011 — and then started slowing . Inflation is low because the economy is still struggling . A vast cadre of economists has been arguing that stubbornly low price growth is a predicament of slow-growing economies . America ’ s GDP is expanding , but still at a moderate rate , they say . Businesses have plenty of spare capacity and high inventories . American workers are facing high unemployment and slow or no wage growth . Neither can afford higher prices . Catch : Things might not be good yet for the U.S. economy , but they ’ re certainly been looking up , both in terms of GDP growth and labour market conditions . Shouldn ’ t inflation be inching up as well ? Inflation is low because the U.S. is importing inflation from abroad . The price of U.S. services , which is mostly tied to domestic factors , has actually been growing around and even above the Fed ’ s target of 2 % for the past two years ( hat-tip to Barry Knapp at Barclays Capital ) . It ’ s the price of goods that has been plummeting . There are couple of obvious reasons for that : Lower commodity and energy prices , plus cheaper imports from recession-stricken Europe as well as Japan , where Abenomics has severely weakened the yen . Catch : Inflation looks low even when you take out food and energy , two very big components of the consumer goods ’ basket that are heavily influenced by commodity prices . Also , Europe might still be in dire straits , but the Euro has been strengthening throughout 2013 , which should have cancelled some of the disinflationary pressures coming in via imports . Conclusion ? As St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said : “ There is no widely accepted reason why inflation is running as low as it is in the face of extraordinarily accommodative policy from the Fed. ” And , I might add , in the face of improving economic conditions as well .

Four Men Sentenced for Violent Crime Spree Last Summer Kidnappings and Armed Robberies took place throughout Albemarle and Greene Counties Charlottesville , VIRGINIA – Four of the six individuals responsible for a crime spree in Albemarle and Greene counties last summer that included a series of armed robberies , kidnappings , an armed home invasion , and a carjacking were sentenced today in federal court in Charlottesville , Acting United States Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle announced . In separate hearings today in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Charlottesville , Terence Tyree , Kentavia Jones , Jaquarius Johnson and Isaiah Wilson were sentenced to federal prison time for their various roles in the conspiracy . Tyree , 19 , of Ruckersville , was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison . Jones , 19 , of Earlysville , was sentenced to 225 months in federal prison . Johnson , 19 , of Charlottesville , was sentenced to 126 months in federal prison . Tyree , Jones and Johnson were also ordered to pay $ 4,079 restitution joint and severally to the victims of these crimes . Wilson , 24 , of Charlottesville , was sentenced today to 68 months in federal prison . Demetrius Steppe will be sentenced on Friday , July 28 , 2017 . “ This prosecution is an example of the application of Attorney General Sessions ’ March 8 , 2017 Memorandum announcing the Department of Justice ’ s Commitment to Targeting Violent Crime , ” Acting United States Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle said today . “ The Albemarle County Police Department , the Greene County Sheriff ’ s Office , and the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked together to identify and quickly apprehend these violent criminals before they could do more violence to our citizens . The Albemarle and Greene County offices of the Commonwealth ’ s Attorney worked together with our office to decide to bring this case in Federal court and our Assistant United States Attorneys ensured that these defendants received appropriate sentences under federal law so that they no longer present a danger to our citizens . The Department ’ s violent crime strategy targets violent criminals such as these in a common-sense way to make our communities safer for law-abiding citizens. ” “ The facts of this case are egregious . These violent criminals – who terrorized our central Virginia communities with handguns , sawed-off shotguns , and even an assault rifle– thankfully , no longer pose a threat . The FBI is committed to the Department of Justice ’ s renewed emphasis on removing violent criminals like these from our streets , ” said Adam S. Lee , Special Agent in Charge of the FBI ’ s Richmond Division . “ I want to thank our colleagues at the United States Attorney ’ s Office for the Western District of Virginia for their expert prosecution of this case and I want to thank our outstanding partners at the Albemarle County Police Department and the Greene County Sheriff ’ s Office for their collaboration . I ’ ve said this in similar FBI cases over the past year ; Virginia is not a safe place for criminals to operate and victimize our citizens . We are mobilized against you and we will put you in prison for a long , long time. ” These four men were responsible for the armed robbery of five commercial establishments throughout June and July 2016 . The targets were comprised of convenience stores and pizza restaurants in Albemarle and Greene Counties . In each armed robbery , the defendants – wearing masks , gloves , and dark clothing – entered local businesses and threatened the employees at gunpoint . They stole cash and cell phones from the employees , and fled the store . This violent crime spree culminated with a home invasion , carjacking , kidnapping , and armed robbery , all of which took place on the evening of July 18 , 2016 . That night , defendants Tyree , Jones , and Johnson broke into an Albemarle County residence by throwing a propane tank through a sliding glass door . The homeowner was inside , alone , and heard the loud explosion . When he went downstairs , he saw three men – later identified as Tyree , Jones , and Johnson – in his living room , armed with a firearm . They forced the victim against the wall and struck him , and then ransacked the house . Afterwards , the defendants commanded the victim to enter his own vehicle in his garage , and they then drove him away from home -- at gunpoint -- to a nearby ATM located at the Wells Fargo bank at the intersection of Route 29 and Airport Road . At that location , the defendants spotted another victim , who was a passerby walking through the parking lot , having just come from the nearby airport with his luggage still in hand . The defendants abducted the man , forcing him into the car at gunpoint . When the first victim was unsuccessful at getting money from the ATM machine , the defendants again forced him back into the car . With the two kidnapping victims in the car , the defendants drove to a nearby 7-11 convenience store and robbed the employees at gunpoint . Soon thereafter , in a nearby neighborhood , the defendants stopped the car and told both victims to get out and both complied . The defendants later abandoned the vehicle , which was later recovered by law enforcement . The investigation of the case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation , the Albemarle County Police Department and the Greene County Sheriff ’ s Office , with assistance from the Albemarle County and Greene County Commonwealth Attorneys Offices . Assistant United States Attorneys Ronald M. Huber and Christopher Kavanaugh prosecuted the case for the United States .

U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain Announces DOJ Statement of Interest Filed in Lawsuit Challenging Philadelphia ’ s Public Event Moratorium PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney William M. McSwain announced that the U.S. Department of Justice has filed a Statement of Interest ( “ SOI ” ) today in a case pending in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania that challenges the City of Philadelphia ’ s “ Event Moratorium ” that prohibits issuing permits for expressive gatherings of 150 or more people on public property . The lawsuit claims that the Moratorium violates the rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly guaranteed by the First Amendment . The SOI was filed in support of the plaintiff , the Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Society ( “ PVV ” ) , an organization that seeks to promote , honor , and dignify the memory of military veterans who served in Vietnam . PVV does so by sponsoring honor guards and rifle teams to attend veteran burial details and by participating in parades and other public events . PVV contends that it and other groups are adversely impacted by the City ’ s blanket ban on issuing permits for public gatherings . On July 14 , 2020 , in response to the COVID-19 pandemic , the City of Philadelphia instituted the Event Moratorium , imposing a blanket ban on issuing permits for any public gatherings through February 2021 . While the City claims that the Event Moratorium does not apply to First Amendment protected activity , nevertheless it will not issue permits for any such activity – and it simultaneously cancelled all festivals , parades , and public gatherings on City property initially involving 50 ( but now 150 ) people . At the same time that it has imposed the Event Moratorium , the City has explicitly allowed a group of any size to take to the streets without a permit if their stated purpose is to protest -- even if that group ignores social distancing , masking , or any other CDC guidelines . This is true even though concerns about virus transmission obviously apply with equal force to groups protesting without a permit and those parading with one . As set forth in the SOI , this disparate treatment ( and double standard ) is illogical , not narrowly tailored to serve a legitimate public health purpose , and unconstitutional . “ This is a case about more speech , not less , ” said U.S. Attorney McSwain . “ The City ’ s double standard – whereby is treats protests one way and any other First Amendment gathering a completely different way -- is illogical , favors particular messages , does not serve public health purposes , and is unconstitutional . The solution is not to limit protests . Rather , the solution is to eliminate the Event Moratorium and allow all speakers to express themselves in accordance with their constitutional rights. ” “ The First Amendment to United States Constitution makes illegal any attempt by government to abridge the rights of the people to speak and assemble peacefully . Our Founders established these rights to enshrine in our law a very simple ideal : tyranny has no place in this free country . At a small town west of Philadelphia , at Gettysburg in 1863 , President Abraham Lincoln observed that this United States of America was ‘ conceived in liberty , ’ and he challenged all of us ‘ to be dedicated ’ to a ‘ new birth of freedom. ’ We must and do accept President Lincoln ’ s challenge , ” said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband for the Civil Rights Division . “ The Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Society honors those brave patriots , living and dead , who fought , suffered , and died for our freedom and for the freedom of all humanity . The United States Department of Justice stands with them , and we will continue to fight for their liberty and the liberty of all people. ” The case is docketed as Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Society v. Kenney , et al. , Civil Action No . 20-cv-05418 .

On Thursday , Premier Heather Stefanson offered Manitoba ’ s support to the democratically elected government of Ukraine , noting moves by Russia to send troops into Eastern Ukraine are a violation of Ukraine ’ s territory and sovereignty . “ Manitoba is home to thousands of citizens of Ukrainian descent who have watched Russia ’ s buildup of military forces in the region and repeated threats to the sovereignty of Ukraine , ” said Stefanson in a statement . “ It is unacceptable behaviour and I thoroughly condemn those actions. ” Advertisement 3 Article content In Ontario , Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy said he was directing the Liquor Control Board of Ontario to withdraw products produced in Russia . “ Ontario joins Canada ’ s allies in condemning the Russian government ’ s act of aggression against the Ukrainian people and we strongly support the federal government ’ s efforts to sanction the Russian government , ” Bethlenfalvy said in an emailed statement . “ We will continue to be there for the Ukrainian people during this extremely difficult time. ” A spokeswoman for Bethlenfalvy said the LCBO carries approximately 25 Russian-produced products , and said the government was told stores could remove them within 24 hours . – with files from The Canadian Press

Domestic abuse Regarding `` NFL drops ball again on domestic abuse '' ( Thursday , Page B1 ) , headlines from the presidential campaign trail have ignited conversations across the country about domestic and sexual violence . And last week , Josh Brown 's release from the New York Giants for abusing his wife , has again highlighted the insidious epidemic of domestic violence . According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control , nearly 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men have experienced sexual assault , and 1 in 4 women experience domestic abuse at the hands of a current or former partner . Media outlets could increase awareness of available resources for victims , such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline 800-799-SAFE ( 7233 ) . In Houston , we have effective resources for survivors and perpetrators of sexual assault and domestic violence . For example , the Houston Area Women 's Center and The Bridge offer hotline numbers , counseling and shelter services . AVDA provides legal advocacy for victims and batterer intervention for abusers . We can debate whether or not appropriate behavior is being modeled on the campaign trail , but our behavior at home and in our communities will have the greatest impact on our children . We can not tolerate sexual or domestic violence and we should not accept being `` helpless bystanders . '' Dr. Joslyn Fisher , associate professor of medicine and medical ethics , Baylor College of Medicine Voting lessons Regarding `` Rigged election fears rejected '' ( Page A3 , Thursday ) , I have been reading about the complaints some people have about the electronic voting machines not counting , or changing , their votes . Reports on this say these problems have all been due to user error . It would be a great idea for each polling place to have a demonstration voting machine , along with an election official to show voters how to use it , so that voters unfamiliar with the electronic voting machines could learn , or relearn , how to use them before casting their votes . Wayne Fluke , Stafford Democracy lives Regarding `` Fewer justices on high court ? '' ( Page A1 , Friday ) , Ted Cruz 's pitch for a smaller U.S. Supreme Court is even more irresponsible than Donald Trump 's claim of a rigged election . A successful democracy is a fragile thing . We are fortunate in the United States to have a democracy that works and is stable . Divisiveness is a serious threat to a democracy . The Muslim world is a political mess because of religious sect divisiveness . Venezuelans are suffering from the democracy-versus-socialism standoff . If we start attacking the pillars of our democracy , it may not be long until we have political warlords waging battle in our streets . Jim Varnon , Kingwood Public trust Regarding `` Trump-inspired anger will persist awhile '' ( Page A13 , Tuesday ) , I have to take issue with Esther Cepeda 's column in no small way . She writes , `` Trump 's insinuation of rigged elections and his call for his supporters to monitor polls for fraud ... are eroding what little public trust in government is left .
