Liberty County woman killed by dog she had adopted

Posted on by

A 63-year-old woman was found dead in her Liberty County home with dog bite wounds covering nearly every inch of her body - and a hunt mounted for the large black-and-white stray whom she'd adopted and is believed responsible for the attack.

The aggressive dog, described as a "Labrador retriever" mix, twice charged at investigators who were trying to rescue the woman, Linda Oliver, officials said. A deputy was only able to stop the animal by repeatedly firing his weapon and eventually wounding it before it escaped under a fence into the surrounding Woodland Hills subdivision near Dayton.

The stray had appeared hungry when it wandered onto their property about two weeks ago, Oliver's husband, Leland Oliver, told police. The couple started feeding it.

But then Monday morning, authorities say the stray attacked the couple's other small brown "wiener" dog. When Linda Oliver tried to rescue it, the stray turned on her.

"She was pretty ripped up, but managed to somehow crawl from the yard into the house to telephone her husband that she'd been bitten," said Liberty County Sheriff's Office Capt. Ken DeFoor. "He said she sounded real weak and then the phone went dead."

When investigators arrived, they found the stray in the front yard with blood on its body. The dog charged at them, refusing to let anyone enter, until a deputy fired his weapon at the dog.

Charged a second time

The dog then backed off and ran to the far side of the yard as the deputy and a medical worker approached the front door. The dog then came charging back a second time. The officer fired again, believing the dog was hit at least twice, before it escaped under the fence.

Linda Oliver was found on the living room floor.

Nervous residents in the subdivision have reported several sightings of the bloody dog roaming in the area. However, the animal had not been found as of Monday night.

Lady Liberty to reopen July 4

Posted on by

Statue of Liberty National Museum

Restorations to Superstorm Sandy-racked Liberty Island are scheduled to be mostly completed in time for the statue's July 4 reopening.

The huddles masses of New York tourists yearning to breathe free can take a sigh of relief the Statue of Liberty reopens on Independence Day.

The tempest-tossed icon had been closed since Hurricane Sandy clobbered Liberty Island on Oct. 29.

On July 4, when I am once again greeted by my amazing staff, and those first visitors step off the ferry onto Liberty Island, any residual pain will disappear, said National Park Service Superintendent David Luchsinger, reflecting on the myriad challenges he faced in getting the historic destination reopened.

Docks, buildings, walkways and security screening facilities were destroyed by the storm. The islands infrastructure electrical, heating and sewage was wrecked.

The ongoing repairs cost $59 million.

Remarkably, Lady Liberty as strong as the day she was dedicated, Oct. 28, 1886 emerged unscathed.

And now shell be surrounded by a new perimeter walkway, repaired or replaced railings and filled-in seawalls. New docks are also in the process of being replaced.

Security screenings at Battery Park of visitors boarding the ferry bound for the island will now go much faster, Luchsinger said. The issue of ferry security was resolved last month following a protracted dispute between the NYPD and the National Park Service.

Liberty 67, Storm 62

UpdatedJun 29, 2013 1:21 AM ET

Although the New York Liberty still haven't solved their turnover problems, it didn't matter against the Seattle Storm.

New York overcame 22 turnovers as Cappie Pondexter scored 23 points to help the Liberty beat the Storm 67-62 Friday night for their first road win of the season.

''That's the most frustrating thing as a coach to ever go through to see the players just turn the ball over and many of them were just ridiculous turnovers,'' New York coach Bill Laimbeer said. ''But our defense again is carrying us at the moment and, hopefully, it doesn't catch up to us at some point.''

New York, which had 17 turnovers in an 87-74 loss at Chicago on Wednesday, entered the game averaging a league-worst 19.5 per game.

Kara Braxton added a career-high 14 rebounds and eight points for the Liberty (5-4), who were 0-3 on the road. New York also snapped an eight-game losing streak at Seattle, with its first road win against the Storm since 2002.

The Liberty used defense and their height to outrebound Seattle 46-26.

''They're not very big,'' Laimbeer said. ''That's going to be their problem all year long is rebounding. We knew that going in that we could dominate the glass if we put our mind to it.''

Temeka Johnson had a season-high 22 points to lead Seattle (4-5), which shot just 1 for 18 on 3-pointers and lost its second straight. Camille Little added 12 points and Tanisha Wright had 10.

Liberty Center ready to revel

BY JANET ROMAKER BLADE STAFF WRITER

LIBERTY CENTER, Ohio The spirit of Liberty flaps red, white, and blue from flagpoles in this Henry County community where the personality of people and places proudly proclaims, Hometown America.

There is everything you need right here in Liberty, long-time village resident Louisa Strock said.

Cut your finger fixing farm equipment? Theres a doctor in town. Chip a tooth? Theres a dentist. Check out books at the library. Order a pizza. Cash checks at a bank. Consult with an attorney. Get gas and groceries at local stores. Get religion. A sign at a local church proclaims it is prayer conditioned. Grain moves at the local elevator near the restored Wabash Depot, a community project that has taken blood, sweat, and years.

At 97, Mrs. Strock is a striking example of the spirit of Liberty. Her energy, enthusiasm, and extensive recollections of village life can make your head spin and your heart sing. She talks about her childhood fascination with the clattering key of the depot telegraph. Of her excitement while awaiting arrival of her new baby doll via a train from Toledo. Of her beloved Papa, John S. Mires, editor and publisher of the Liberty Press for nearly 45 years.

Today, the restored depot on Wabash Street will be a focal point during Liberty Centers Founders Day. It would take 150 candles to mark the towns birthday. But never mind a cake. An old-fashioned, Hi neighbor ice cream social, topped off with a sing-a-long, will be the celebrations centerpiece, beginning at 5 p.m. Activities on tap include walking tours of the historic town and live entertainment.

That Liberty Center, population about 1,000, has not only survived but thrived pays tribute to what Mrs. Strock calls determination, perseverance, cooperation, and leadership.

Roger Fisher, 65, who grew up in the village and lived in big cities for years, retired and returned to Liberty.

Ive lived all over and I knew when I retired, I would go back to Liberty. For me, its home, said Mr. Fisher, planner-coordinator for sesquicentennial activities, including monthly summer salutes to the village.

Liberty Media Slips to Underperform

Posted on by

We downgrade our recommendation on Liberty Media Corp. (LMCA) to Underperform primarily based on its current valuation. Liberty Media currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

Why the Downgrade?

The stock price of Liberty Media has soared nearly 26% in the last year. At present, Liberty Media is trading at extremely high multiples compared to both the S&P 500 and the industry average with respect to several valuation metrics. We believe that the stock is overvalued at this stage and the multiples must converge toward its peer average.

Nevertheless, the company reported excellent financial results for the first quarter of 2013, easily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Liberty Mediais gradually restructuring its business model, targeting to control the subscription-based companies.

Currently, Liberty Media controls a 50.2% stake of SIRIUS XM Radio Inc. (SIRI), a 27.3% stake of Charter Communications Inc. (CHTR) and a 27% stake of Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (LYV).

Moreover, management is pursuing a systematic share buy-back program to boost shareholders wealth. The spin-off of the Starz segment as a separate entity has helped the company to improve its financial position.

On the other hand, Liberty Medias businesses are susceptible to rapid technological changes. Large cable TV operators are increasingly deploying digital TV networks, which are rapidly gaining huge market traction. This may adversely impact the channel positioning of Liberty Medias networks.

Increasing deployment of personal video recorders, video-on-demand technology and IPTV network are systematically changing the distribution and viewing habits of the common people. Further, the multi-channel video market in the U.S. is almost saturated.
