Grant for Law Library saves county money
WILMINGTON The Clinton County Law Library was recently awarded a grant which will save the county money.
Clinton County Law Librarian Martha Worstine wrote a grant for technology improvements offered by the statewide Consortium of County Law LibraryResource Boards (CCLLRB) in Columbus to all 88 county law libraries.
The grant request was for a new photocopier for this law library to replace one which is eight years old.
The local Clinton County Law Library Resources Board members Lauren Raizk, Brian Shidaker, Brett Rudduck, John Porter and Mary Ann Foland voted and approved the proposed grant and it was submitted in February. The Law Library received notice April 19 that it had been awarded $3,202 for the specific purchase of a new photocopier.

The 16th Judicial Circuit court system in Monroe County court has its first in-person criminal trial scheduled to begin next month, after a year of disruption because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the past year, a large amount of proceedings relegated to Zoom and other video-conferencing platforms.
The scheduled trial is a sign of an eventual return to full normalcy for the courts, but when exactly that will happen is still unknown, said Mark Jones, chief judge of the 16th Judicial Circuit. Jones will be presiding over the felony trial next month. He said one trial was already on the schedule for April, but it ended in a plea agreement.
In a turnaround, members of the Key West Housing Authority have voted 4-0 this month to change the name of the J.Y. Porter Place Apartments after concerns were raised that the man the housing complex is named after was a leader in the 1921 local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.
Housing Authority board members voted to change the name to honor Lang B. Milian, the first Black man to serve on the housing authority board and who elected to the Key West City Commission in 1971. Now deceased, Milian was only the second Black man to serve on the Key West City Commission in the 20th Century at that time. He is also the father of current Housing Authority board member Annette Mobley.

Our top tipster believes finding both Guineas winners could prove key 1 of 1 6:00PM, APR 26 2021
If you can get off to a flyer by landing both Guineas that will set you up well for the rest of the season because it’s likely those winners will go on to land even more bonus race points.
The 2,000 Guineas, in particular, is often one of the strongest races run all season and even the beaten horses are usually worth following. For that reason I’ll put two in for that contest.

Wembley finished second and third behind St Mark’s Basilica in the Dewhurst last season but I suspect both might be better than they showed that day. Wembley looks likely to improve as the season goes on, but Thunder Moon might be an earlier type.
