Cynthiana incentivizing businesses to invest revitalizing downtown
CYNTHIANA, Ky. (FOX 56) – Officials in Cynthiana are using a unique program to try and revitalize the city's downtown. It's called the Downtown Incentives Grant Program. Mayor Isaac Dailey said this program is the continuation of the work the city has previously done to bring some new life to downtown. Having had success in the past, the city has grown the program from giving out a maximum of $1,000 in grants to a maximum of $2,500. Recipients are required to match the funding for each project. Every submitted proposal will be scored out of 100 across a number of factors, such as economic impact, readiness, feasibility, and long-term maintenance.

These grants aren't just meant for building facelifts but also incentivize businesses to utilize their spaces to the fullest. 'We've expanded this grant to protect and recreate or replace existing rooms,' Dailey said. 'Also, to address other problems like a shortage of housing or short-term rentals.' 'We want to, more or less, use this as a way to plant seeds for change, but also to make it a beautiful place for people to want to visit and to be excited about,' explained tourism director Samantha Lunger.

New splash pad opens at French Memorial Park in South Knoxville
KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WATE) — A new splash pad opened at French Memorial Park in South Knox County. The official opening was at 10 a.m. Thursday with representatives from the Knox County Mayor's Office and the Parks and Recreation department as well as former Knox County Commissioner Carson Dailey. It is scheduled to be open every day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. until mid-September. Smoky Mountain Thunder Memorial Ride gears up for final tribute 'This morning has been a vision for eight years that we would have a splash pad in South Knoxville,' Dailey said, a group of children playing in the water behind him. 'Nothing better than hearing kids having fun.' He said this project means a lot to the people of South Knoxville. With this new splash pad, the county will have one in all four geographic regions. The others are at the following locations: New Harvest Park (East) Carl Cowan Park (West) Powell Station Park (North) Joseph Mack, Senior Director of Parks and Recreation for Knox County, said that splash pads were one of the county's most frequently requested amenities, so they thought it was important to get one in every quadrant. Emory Valley Center continues to serve disabled community in Anderson County The splash pads in Carl Cowan Park and New harvest Park are currently closed while the department is 'working out the kinks.' The mayor's office announced the splash pad in March 2024, and officials broke ground in June 2024. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Suspects appear in court after police raid locations across RI
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Several arrests in Rhode Island on Thursday were a result of a monthslong investigation that police said was related to 'a series of gang-related shootings' in Providence and Pawtucket, according to police reports obtained by Target 12. Providence's Detective Bureau, Organized Crime and Intelligence Bureau, and Violent Crime Task Force, plus the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), worked in conjunction with the R.I. Attorney General's Office and Pawtucket police to make the arrests. Police said they identified several subjects affiliated with street gangs 'as being drivers in an ongoing violent feud.' BACKGROUND: Providence police raid locations across Rhode Island Around 6 a.m. Thursday, authorities executed a search warrant in Woonsocket in an attempt to locate 18-year-old Depriese Dailey, but said they were unsuccessful. However, evidence led them to another residence where Dailey was found and detained. Police seized an iPhone and several 'items of interest' from a shoebox they said was inside Dailey's closet, including firearms with obliterated serial numbers, a ghost gun, high-capacity magazines, automatic weapon conversion attachments, and ammunition. Dailey was charged with seven felony weapons charges. He faced a judge in Providence District Court on Friday morning. Prosecutors said when Dailey spoke with police, he admitted to possessing the guns and related items. They asked Judge Stephen Isherwood to set bail at $70,000 with surety, more than triple the state guidelines. 'I am going to exceed the guidelines today, making a finding that Depriese Dailey, based on what the police claim they have discovered via search warrants, is a danger to the community,' Isherwood said. The judge set bail at $70,000 with surety. Police also searched a home on Carolina Avenue in Providence on Thursday, which prosecutors said was the site of a May 2021 shooting where nine people were wounded. Police noted the home had been raided by law enforcement several times over the years. Police said they forced their way into the home after no one answered and located Dhylan Carides, plus some others. According to prosecutors, police seized several items including an iPhone, spent shell casings, credit cards, rifle slings, a loaded magazine, an AR-15 style rifle, ammunition, and a bag with suspected cocaine. Additionally, more than 4,000 grams of marijuana was found inside the home. An attorney representing Carides argued there wasn't evidence to prove the items were his, as there were other people inside the home when police showed up. He was charged with 16 felony drug and weapons-related charges. Isherwood entered no plea on his behalf, and Carides was ordered held without bail. Two more suspects, Daniel Carides, 30, and Brandon Brierly, 18, were also arraigned at Kent County District Court. Daniel Carides, who police noted was the brother of Dhylan Carides, faces 14 felony weapons and drug-related charges. A judge entered no plea on his behalf, and Carides was ordered held without bail. Brierly faces five felony weapons charges and a judge set bail at $70,000 with surety. Police are not releasing the names of the juveniles involved.

Newcastle preview: Doyle's promising filly Sosueme to bounce back
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Things couldn't have worked out any worse for Sosueme last start but a nice draw on her home track can see the Nathan Doyle-trained filly bounce back according to racing manager, David Dyson. Sosueme drew barrier 9 in the field of ten and endured a very tough run throughout before fading to finish eighth behind Matima and Impact Zone over 100m at Hawkesbury on April 5. Prior to that run, the three-year-old filly led before being run down late by fellow debutant Gandalf over 1100m at Hawkesbury on March 18. 'Her first-up run at Hawkesbury was very good and I reckon she was beaten by a half smart one. They put a bit of a gap into the rest of them,' said Dyson. 'She went back there and had no luck at all off the gate last start. She was four and five deep all-the-way. The Form: Complete NSW Racing thoroughbred form, including video replays and all you need to know about every horse, jockey and trainer. Find a winner here! 'She was entitled to knock up and she did.' The daughter of Capitalist has drawn ideally in barrier 4 in the Tooheys Midway 3YO Maiden Handicap (900m) and will give a bold sight. 'There has been nothing wrong with her since that run. She has worked well,' Dyson said. 'She has drawn much better this time back on her home track so she will roll forward. 'She is more than capable of bouncing back.' The stable is looking forward to the debut of fellow three-year-old Bohemian Art to kicks off her career in the Dailey Family Funerals Provincial 3YO Maiden Handicap (1300m). The filly has been given plenty of experience at the trials dating back to April last year when fourth to Star Venture and Harlem Queen and had a couple last spring include a win in a Wyong heat. The time in, Bohemian Art was given an easy time when fifth to Infinite Echo at Newcastle before closing strongly late when a head second to Impressionism on the Beaumont on April 16. 'Nathan has always had a lot of time for her and thinks she will get out over a trip in time. She looks like a filly who will love the mile,' said Dyson. 'In saying that, her trials have been sharp enough to suggest she will do something first-up.' 'She doesn't have to leave home and the 1300m is suitable. Anything shorter and she would just be chasing all-the-way. 'This distance gives her a chance to work through her gears.' The daughter of Deep Field is a granddaughter of Monsoon Wedding, herself a sister to champion racehorse and sire Redoute's Choice as well as Group 1 winner Platinum Scissors and a half-sister Manhattan Rain. 'She is a lovely type and out to a mile, you will see her at her best but this is a really nice starting point for her,' he said.' Owen County will make his debut for the Doyle stable in the Peter Evens Solicitors Benchmark 64 Handicap (1400m) provided a suitable apprentice is available. The five-year-old has 63kg for his first-up run and bringing that weight down is imperative, especially with a likely heavy track. 'We scratched him from Gosford yesterday where he drew the outside gate and are hoping we can find a suitable apprentice,' Dyson said. The son of Dundeel ended his last campaign with back-to-back wins at Gosford and Hawkesbury in this same grade carrying 59kg over 2100m and 60.5kg over 2000m respectively. 'It's not often you get a new horse in the stable that has won its last two starts. He's obviously got plenty of ability,' he said. 'It will be nice to see him under race day conditions but his work and trials say he is going to hold his own, especially at this level.'
