Russell mayoral candidate faces threats amid election push
Yoram East, a mayoral hopeful in Russell, released an anonymous threat letter in the Russell Banner and reported two menacing phone calls the same day. East vows to press on, saying threats will not deter him. Four other local families also report similar intimidation. A separate accident at Brightstone Colony leaves a 5½ year old boy missing a foot after a lawn mower incident, requiring prosthetic use. A Space Shuttle Atlantis invitation reaches Ross Bond due to ties with Chris Hadfield's brother, with attendance uncertain. Reston hosts a public meeting on a proposed youth centre at the Drop In, outlining rules and schedule for Friday and Saturday nights.
