Delivering his State of the City Address to the Bradley Sunrise Rotary Club on Thursday, Jan. 23, Cleveland Mayor Kevin Brooks had the benefit of a couple weeks having passed since his initial remarks.

Brooks had previously delivered his State of the City Address to the Rotary Club of Cleveland on Jan. 7, and the Cleveland Daily Banner covered his remarks in two articles, published on Jan. 9 and Jan. 11.

In the time since he first gave his speech, the Bradley County Commission has determined that it will recommend making "no change" to the urban growth boundary, which was last amended in 2010, after having been established in 2000.

CLAIMED - 1/24/25

EMERGENCY HOLD UNTIL ?
Dog #230, Kennel 11
"Kiki"
Female, Adult, Chihuahua

This pet is currently in our care under an emergency hold. This type of hold means that this pet was involved in a situation where Animal Control responded with the Cleveland Police Department to obtain the pet. In these situations we may already know who the owner is but we may be holding the pet for the owner until the situation has been resolved. These pets will remain on this hold until we receive further information or instruction regarding the pet’s owner. We often receive these pets under this type of hold due to the owner being arrested, the pet was involved in a car wreck, a medical emergency, structure fire, etc. In some situations, the pet may not be claimed by the owner due to either the amount of jail time from their arrest, owner is deceased, or lack of family in the area to continue caring for the pet. If this is the case the pet may become available for adoption, but only after all other efforts to reach a family member have been exhausted.
Please be kind and respectful towards these pets and their families as they have both been through the emergency together. If you adopt a pet that has been on an emergency hold please be patient with them while they are adapting.

When Bradley County Sheriff Steve Lawson conducted a routine county jail inmate population count Thursday morning, he noted 480 inmates were currently being held at the 500-bed facility.

And when the Tennessee General Assembly convenes next week for a special legislative session to consider Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s illegal immigration agenda, Lawson is wondering where he will house undocumented immigrants who have been captured.

“I'm worried about how many we're going to have,” Lawson told members of the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland on Thursday.

BREAKING FROM THE CLEVELAND POLICE DEPARTMENT:

On Thursday, the Cleveland Police Department responded to the death of customer at the Walmart at 2300 Treasury Drive SE in Cleveland.

The incident took place at 7:40 p.m., according to Lt. Evie West, public information officer for the CPD.

West identified Pamela Judge as the deceased individual.

"Police officers attempted to find a pulse, but were unsuccessful,” she said. “Our Criminal Investigations Division responded to the scene, along with the medical examiner, and deemed that no foul play was involved in the death of Mrs. Judge.”

West said CPD officers also reviewed Walmart’s security cameras, which verified and supported the conclusion made by the investigators and Medical Examiner’s Office deeming the incident as a death from natural causes.

Photographs of the N***s' concentration camp victims — some with blank facial expressions as they gaze toward the camera lens while others cast uneasy glances at an individual outside of the frame — are testaments to their collective experience as seen on Holocaust-related websites.

During that era, the victims were witnesses to unimaginable atrocities humans inflict on others, which was documented by armies that liberated concentration camps and death camps with such names as Dachau, Treblinka, Bergen-Belsen, Sobibor and Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Last week, Julie Mitchell, the Museum & Cultural Center at 5ive Points’ education programs manager, was at the Rotary Club of Cleveland meeting to discuss the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz-Birkenau’s liberation by the Soviet Union's Red Army as World War II drew to a close.
