First family departs Freemen site as standoff nears end
A Ward family of four left the Freemen ranch in eastern Montana amid a 75 day siege after the FBI cut power and intensified pressure. Authorities said the exit could push authorities toward a surrender, while still pursuing a peaceful resolution. Gloria Ward Courtine and Jaylynn, 8, rode away with Elwin Ward and an unknown helper, with law enforcement guiding them to Miles City.

Turnback program may reopen Eckert Bridge Road
Pennsylvania could fund reopening Eckert Bridge Road in Slippery Rock Township via the PennDOT turnback program. State Rep. Frank LaGrotta questioned why the idea wasn’t pursued 10 years ago while PennDOT officials and local leaders met to discuss road safety and cost. The road and two bridges have been closed since 1979 due to crumbling surfaces, raising concerns about maintenance and safety.
