It’s 2016 and the 8-year-old poses for a photo during a break at Wisconsin’s volleyball camp. She’s having a ball, so much so that over the years she becomes a regular. The streak went to eight years earlier this month. During that time the native of suburban Chicago not only became a fan of the program but also one of the top middle blockers in the country. Her worlds converged June 15 when UW offered a scholarship and she accepted a few hours later. "Why Wisconsin? It’s just everything," she said. "That is my honest answer. I think Wisconsin has everything. I think they have a mix of people. I think they have great coaches and the city of Madison, there is just so much in it. And then the team culture. Everything checked the boxes for me. There was nothing really left out. Even friends of mine have said I could see you at Wisconsin." Tarnow was the second player to commit to Wisconsin’s 2025, making her announcement about 90 minutes after middle blocker/right-side hitter Kymora Scott did on June 15. Since then the Badgers have added two outside hitters, Audrey Flanagan from Redondo Beach, California, and Halle Thompson from Spring, Texas. Tarnow is part of the USA Volleyball national team development program and is ranked No. 6 in the 2025 class by PrepDig and No. 33 by PrepVolleyball. At 6-feet 5 inches she could bring an imposing and powerful presence to the roster when she arrives in two years. Here are a few tidbits to know about Tarnow. Tarnow plays her high school ball at Benet Academy, which produced former Badgers Lauren Barnes and Tiffany Clark, and club ball with 1st Alliance, 2024 Olympian Dana Rettke’s former club. When Rettke, also a middle blocker, was at UW she ran some of the drills Tarnow participated in at camp, though the two didn’t chat much. “There are definitely similarities,” 1st Alliance recruiting director or recruiting Meghan Keck said. " I think Dana had a really, really good arm. Dana was quite good at the slide. I think Lynney is good at the slide, but she’s probably even better in front off two feet. Both of them have the same kind of physical stature. They move very similar. We’re hopeful that Lynney can progress to what Dana obviously continued to progress to late in her career.” Playing for highly-regarded teams helps, Tarnow helped her cause with a breakout sophomore season. It started in the fall when she helped Benet Acadmey post a 39-3 record and reach the Class 4A state final.  She led Benet in total kills (226) and average kills per set (3.2) while hitting .364. Her play carried over the to club season when she first shined against players her age and then in April played in the open 18 division and showed she could score against older players at a time when coaches were deciding which players to offer. “The one thing people recognize is she can score points, which is what you could see at the 18 open level, that she could score points against some of the top 18 middles of the country, which will obviously transition to the next level,” Keck said. “And for her size she does really have a quick first step and laterally is quite impressive for her size. Those are two things college coaches are looking for.” UW camp visits pay dividendsThe volleyball recruiting calendar is such that players field offers before they’re allowed to take official visits. But Tarnow’s experience as a UW camper gave her a sense of how the Wisconsin coaches work with the players. She also feels the experience gave her insight into culture of the team. She liked the competitiveness and teamwork she saw. “They were angels off the court. They were so sweet, but when we got on the court they were working hard and they were completely locked in,” Tarnow said. “I just really appreciated that because they weren’t being mean to each other, they were just ready to work and they were making each other better and it’s something that people sometimes have a hard time with.” June 15 was a busy day for top prospectsJune 15 is the first day college programs can contact 2026 players, and the race for the top players not only is competitive, but it often goes quickly. The process starts at midnight when players often begin to receive emails or texts from programs. Wisconsin scheduled an 8 a.m. meeting with Tarnow, her first of the day. UW coach Kelly Sheffield got to the point, quickly offering the scholarship, talking about the program and answering questions from Tarnow and her parents. “Every coach that I talked to, I wanted to know who I would primarily work with, what their team culture looks like, what playing time might look like,” Tarnow said. “Nothing can be promised, but it’s nice to know what they see for the future with you and just a little bit about living (set up). … All those picky questions, just good things to know before you’re just committing blindly.” Tarnow had two other calls that day. Then she called Wisconsin back. She was all in. "It’s such a huge compliment to me that I get to fit into this program and I think I would be a good fit for this program," she said, "so actually having that dream come true is amazing.” Your Ads Privacy ChoicesIMDb Personalized news alerts with our mobile app Please subscribe to continue reading… The University of Wisconsin volleyball team was all smiles after edging Oregon in an NCAA Tournament regional final on Saturday in Madison Lynney Tarnow has been a Badger ever since she was 8 years old bouncing around the UW Field House to the sounds of “Jump Around.” That connection to the University of Wisconsin volleyball program took a major leap forward Saturday, when she became the first player to make a verbal commitment on the first day coaches were able to make scholarship offers to the 2026 recruiting class. It was the culmination of a process that began when she attended her first volleyball camp in 2016. “I remember my first camp,” Tarnow said Sunday. “I was in a Nike outfit and I came with my mom and I was super nervous coming in, but then I just had so much fun. I was acting like an 8 year old. They were playing 'Jump Around' in the gym and we were all jumping and dancing. I can remember that, and that’s what made me keep coming back. I feel like I’ve been a part of the program for a while now.” While she was attached emotionally to the Badgers from an early age, it wasn’t until the past year or so that her game rose to the point where she became a no-brainer recruit for coach Kelly Sheffield and his staff. Tarnow said a turning point for her came at last year’s Elite Camp, where she started to see her own potential. “I got to scrimmage with the (Wisconsin) players and I was just in awe,” she said. “I went home and I was like, 'Mom and dad, this is crazy, but that was the best experience of my life.' This year I took it very serious and worked really hard because if there was a possibility to be a Wisconsin player, that’s what I want and I’m going to work really hard to get the offer.” That 8-year-old wannabe has sprouted into a 6-foot-5 powerhouse who is ranked the No. 6 player in the nation by Prep Dig. The resident of Downers Grove, Illinois, attends Benet Academy in nearby Lisle and plays for 1st Alliance, the same club program that produced another Badgers middle blocker, Dana Rettke. That connection has become a familiar one for Tarnow, something she finds a little humbling. “She’s an amazing player, so her name does come up quite often,” Tarnow said. “I have been compared to her, just because of my height and people have said some things. I wouldn’t compare myself to her quite yet because she’s so amazing.” Trish Samolinski, who also coached 2025 Wisconsin recruit Addy Horner, is confident that Tarnow will be an impact player for the Badgers. “She’s really had a breakout season this year,” Samolinski said. “I would say that her 15s year she was figuring out how to work that body. She’s really tall, and 16s is where you’ve really seen her take off. “She’s really worked hard to improve her lateral speed and how fast she transitions and makes herself available in any situation. I think the biggest area she showed that she was ready was when she went to the 18s national with our 18 Gold team and she was named to the all-tournament team. She had a dominating performance and was able to hang with all those 18-year-olds. “I think that really showed how hard she’s been working in the gym. I mean, the kid never stops. She’s the type of kid who’s been doing extra lessons every week, always pushing herself to technically become better. I think that’s what Kelly and (associate head coach) Brittany (Dildine) recognize. The rapid growth she made is what is the most intriguing. She hasn’t stopped getting better, and I don’t think she’s going to.” Tarnow and Samolinski both pointed to the Badgers tradition of developing topflight middle blockers, from Haleigh Nelson to Tionna Williams, Rettke, Danielle Hart, Carter Booth and others, as added appeal. Tarnow sees a common thread among those players. “I think it’s the work ethic of Wisconsin,” she said. “The middles are always busting their butts, working really hard. You can see that on TV. So that definitely was appealing because you see the middles grow in the program. What’s not to like about seeing middles go up and get better and better from their freshman to their senior years? That was so attractive to me and it still will be. I’m excited to work when I get there.” She’s also looking forward to getting to know future teammate Kymora Scott, who became the second 2026 commit just a few hours later. Scott lives in Flossmoor, about 40 miles away. “I haven’t met her, but I’m excited to get to know her,” Tarnow said. “It’s kind amazing that we are so close. That’s great because we can build a friendship before we even go there. I’m excited for her. Middles have to stick together.” Tarnow’s longstanding familiarity with the Wisconsin program and coaches helped make Saturday a little more comfortable for her, especially compared to players who were speaking to coaches for the first time ever on that day. She scheduled Wisconsin as her first of three calls, hoping for the best. Still, she had to catch her breath a bit when Sheffield made the scholarship offer. And at that point, the other programs on her list didn’t stand a chance. “It was like, Oh my gosh, it’s real,” she said. “I called my parents in the room and I was just so grateful. Things are circling in your mind and you’re just so happy in the moment that you can’t even think straight. I was like, I need my parents here with me. He said it again and my parents heard. It was just a really, really great feeling that I don’t think I can compare with many others.” Fans wait outside the UW Field House before the Wisconsin Badger-Penn State Nittany Lions match in the third round of the NCAA tournament in Madison, Wis., Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023.

The University of Wisconsin volleyball team was all smiles after edging Oregon in an NCAA Tournament regional final on Saturday in Madison. On the first day of the 2026 recruiting season, the Badgers turned to the Chicago area. Here are 16 frontcourt players Wisconsin could target Saturday at 12:01 a.m., when coaches can start contacting 2026 recruits.  Recruiting is a little different in volleyball. Here's how the Badgers have prepared to bolster their future roster. This Wisconsin volleyball commit isn't a highly ranked recruit, but it didn't take the Badgers staff long to be impressed by her talents.  Nick Ripke was born in 2005 with a defective organ. How a tragedy led to this future educator receiving "the best heart I could have gotten" a… History wasn't on the side of the 'underdog' Badgers as Kelly Sheffield tried to lure one of the premier players in the 2026 class to a state … Two Wisconsin Badgers will play for Team USA in a tournament that's seen as a jumping off point for the 2028 Olympic roster. The outside hitter was competing in the Olympic trials in two events, but will be the Badgers' third player at the position.

The All-American libero didn't have much time to process her club national championship before she became "the bottom of the food chain" with … It will be the second time this former Badgers hitter plays in a professional league's inaugural season. The reigning national player of the year was injured while playing for a gold medal with Team USA. Here's what we know about her diagnosis. A third former Badgers player will play professionally in Madison, and hope to get back to an All-American level. The former Wisconsin volleyball star was a generational player in college but had a tough time adjusting professionally. A pair of Wisconsin volleyball commits grew closer by helping power Team USA to gold at an international competition.  Sarah Franklin has had a meteoric rise since joining Wisconsin volleyball. Her youth coach saw it, even when she was "awkward." The Wisconsin volleyball program's run of Big Ten titles ended last season. A look at what the Badgers need to do to start another streak. Benet middle hitter Lynney Tarnow approaches every game the same way, regardless of who the opponent is. “I just always want to get the ball,” Tarnow said. “I always want to put the point away. “I don’t care how long the rally is. I’m going to transition hard and I want to get that last kill and really put an emphasis, an exclamation point on that last hit.” The Wisconsin-bound Tarnow delivered a lot of exclamation points on Wednesday, when she led all players with 11 kills and also had two blocks to lead Benet to a 25-21, 26-24 victory over host Metea Valley. The Redwings make no secret of their intention to feed the 6-foot-5 Tarnow as much as possible, not that it would make a difference if they tried. “We’re not hiding it from anybody – the kid going to Wisconsin might get the ball a few times,” Benet coach Brad Baker sad. “I think everyone in the gym kind of knows, so there’s no hiding it.” Knowing about Tarnow and trying to stop her are two different things. The first is easy and the second is, well, exceedingly difficult. The Mustangs (5-3) were reminded of that again. Tarnow had five of her kills, including the clincher, in the first set. But she really put on a show in the second set when the Redwings (8-0) needed it most. With her team trailing 8-3, Tarnow ripped off six consecutive kills and did so in a variety of ways. The first three kills came on typically run plays to the middle, with two power kills followed by a tip. Then came a pair of kills on overpasses. Tarnow used both hands to press the first one down and got the second on a one-armed, left-handed lunge. That was followed by a backslide kill. “I kind of just got in the zone,” Tarnow said. “I was like, ‘Anything that crosses this net, I’m not letting it. Or if it does, I’m going to put the kill away.’ “It’s just a killer mindset to go after it. No matter how I’m hitting the ball, I’m just trying to put it away and get the point for my team.” Colorado-bound senior Audrey Asleson, who shared the setting duties with junior Ellie Stiernagle, a Northwestern recruit, has plenty of weapons she can use but is comforted knowing she has a big bopper in the middle. “She always comes ready to play and compete,” Asleson said. “I can always trust her to put the ball away. She’s super positive and brings good energy to the team.” So Asleson had no qualms about doing what everyone expected. “She had the hot hand,” Asleson said. “She was scoring pretty much every time, so we kept going back to her.” And yet, the Mustangs nearly forced a third set, rallying to take a 21-17 lead. Tarnow tied the game at 21 with a block, but the Mustangs held a set point at 24-23. Stiernagle responded by feeding Asleson for a kill and then finishing the match with an ace. “We kind of beat ourselves a little bit tonight,” Metea Valley coach Dave Macdonald said. “A couple hitting errors and service errors toward the end, but we played our hearts out. “They gave it all they got and that’s all we ask for. I’m very proud.” Maddie Hoskins paced Metea with nine kills, while Addison Torain and Olivia Stewart each added five kills and Katie Schuele had 18 assists. Asleson had three kills and 11 assists for Benet, which also got three kills, six assists and three aces from Stiernagle, 10 digs from Indiana-bound libero Aniya Warren and eight service points from Taylor Kunka. It’s hard to stand out on a team that has so many NCAA Division I recruits, but Tarnow is literally several inches taller than everyone else. “She’s really talented,” Baker said. “She keeps getting better. “We hope that as the season goes along, that’s a trend that we see. She’s gotten better during the first seven matches and we hope by the end of the season that’s she’s even better than she is right now.” the curly-haired actor-comedian best known as one of the Kids in the Hall invited a few people to a rehearsal in a tiny hotel room in lower Manhattan One guest’s knock had a rhythm similar to “shave and a haircut.” McDonald knocked back “two bits,” then opened the door was in town to perform his rock opera in progress “Kevin McDonald Superstar,” at the SoHo Playhouse with friends like his fellow-comedians Dave Hill and Janeane Garofalo and he was wiry and energetic in an oversized hoodie The hotel room was angular and spare—one bed “I opened the curtains so we could see the view,” McDonald said “Kevin McDonald Superstar,” with music and lyrics by McDonald centers on a few days of youthful idiocy in 1991—when the “Kids in the Hall” series was on HBO—during which he and his fellow-Kid Dave Foley travelled from Toronto to New York to appear on Joan Rivers’s talk show the pair attended a gala charity event—an AIDS benefit “Kevin McDonald Superstar,” like one of its inspirations “Jesus Christ Superstar,” has themes of fame Wlaysewski began strumming a plaintive ballad with an air of foreboding do you want to start out being Lorne Michaels?” Tarnow asked (Michaels produced “The Kids in the Hall.”) “No—’cuz we’re drunk,” McDonald and Tarnow sang and wooziness; the last line was “Get them off my set!” Other numbers were more rollicking; McDonald danced in a style that suggested a frenetic hybrid of the frug and the mashed potato “I cheated on you / with a Howard Stern fan / at an AIDS benefit,” he sang never cheat again / Except on taxes / But only if it’s done quasi-legally,” he hit an operatic series of notes “That’s the first thing I thought of—Ol’ Blue Eyes,” Wlaysewski said Then another knock at the door: the comedian Frank Conniff but I sang a lot on ‘Mystery Science Theater,’ ” he said Wlaysewski reassured him: “I play defensive guitar.” They began “Why are those silly heteros / Fucking up this AIDS benefit?” everyone sang the gang went to Harney & Sons for a vocals-friendly round of tea then sat at a table and recalled his musical journey “I’ve always had a knack for melody,” he said “I’d hum songs and write lyrics I thought were witty I’d sing them to my mother as she was washing the dishes.” Artistic revelations came early “Jesus Christ Superstar,” which blew his mind “The relationship between Jesus and Judas—ambiguous!” he recalled I went to Sam the Record Man and bought the movie soundtrack like I’d done with ‘Young Frankenstein.’ It made me love rock opera.” Kids in the Hall had a punk comedy sensibility—and punk is part of what later bonded him with Dave Hill who would open that week’s shows and play multiple roles duetting on “Institutionalized,” the Suicidal Tendencies song from “Repo Man.” “I had a comedy crush on him,” McDonald said when Hill caused a punkish ruckus at a hockey game in Anaheim because the Leafs were playing,” McDonald said In an electric-guitar performance that circulated online and Canadian national anthems Hendrix style “You see the players on the ice—they’re like this.” He made an “agog” face “They were like the guys at the AIDS benefit.” ♦ A long-ago crime, suddenly remembered A limousine driver watches her passengers transform The day Muhammad Ali punched me What is it like to be keenly intelligent but deeply alienated from simple emotions?

MADISON – Saturday marked the first day college volleyball coaches could contact 2026 recruits Wisconsin volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield and his staff made the most of the opportunity by scoring commitments from two Chicago-area standouts a 6-foot-2 middle hitter/right-side hitter from Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Flossmoor She plays club ball for Xtreme Performance a 6-5 middle blocker who attends Benet Academy in Lisle She was part of USA volleyball's girls indoor national team development program training program this past spring District Judge Arthur Tarnow had a way with words — and his courtroom was rarely dull because of it he used those traits to make people feel comfortable in the often intimidating federal court system and was known to catch many off guard with his colorful remarks — like telling a defendant who was upset about his jail conditions the Pontchartrain Hotel is full.”  knowledgeable and humble jurist who believed in second chances, treated prominent and common folks the same and ruled on everything from child slavery and sex escort cases to public corruption and civil rights “He was the most truly human person in the courthouse,” said longtime criminal defense attorney Bill Swor whose relationship with Tarnow dates back 40 years when the judge was a lawyer with the state's Appellate Defender's Office and the two played in a lawyer softball league together “He understood the power his office held and truly wanted to use his superpowers for good,”  said Swor "He was always the smartest guy in the room," Swor said a Detroit native and onetime preeminent criminal appellate lawyer who was appointed to the federal bench in 1998 died Friday morning at Henry Ford Hospital where he was being treated for heart issues.  “Our whole court grieves at the loss of Judge Arthur Tarnow,” Chief U.S District Judge Denise Page Hood said in a statement. “Judge Tarnow was an excellent judge fair in all ways and ever cognizant of the hurdles facing men and women returning to the community after serving a sentence in prison." She added: "He was also a loyal friend and a had a sense of humor that could sometimes catch you off guard or was just plain corny.”  as he recalled a comment that Tarnow once made as he approached him at the bench during a proceeding 'I know where you got that tie,' " Swor recalled More: Veteran Wayne County prosecutor dies: 'She was a hell of a lawyer' More: Retired federal judge Marianne Battani dies after long illness: 'We have lost a gem' This is the Tarnow that hundreds of defendants and lawyers caught glimpses of during his distinguished career on the bench where he delivered opinions in landmark cases sometimes stirring controversy with his decisions Tarnow took some heat for granting compassionate release to numerous inmates during the COVID-19 pandemic including a convicted murderer whom Tarnow had previously given two life terms That inmate was locked back up after prosecutors appealed issued a rare clarification in that case, explaining that he freed the man — who had already served 22 years — because he had turned his life around in prison and presented "compelling and extraordinary" reasons for releasing him "As this court often reminds the attorneys who appear before it in compassionate release hearings not as they were at the time of their original sentencing but as they are now," Tarnow wrote in his clarification Perhaps this is what Tarnow is remembered for most — his willingness to believe that people could change "Judge Tarnow had a tough exterior but a heart of gold He was always interested in giving offenders second chances," said former U.S "He devoted his life to serving indigent defendants and that empathy for the least powerful members of society came through in all of his work." McQuade was no stranger to Tarnow's deadpan humor "His dry wit could sometimes knock you off balance you realized that he used humor to put people at ease in the courtroom," said McQuade adding the two connected over their shared love of the Detroit Tigers Longtime criminal defense attorney Mike Rataj echoed those sentiments noting defense lawyers often relished the opportunity to have their cases heard by Tarnow He was extremely intelligent and fair," Rataj said the son of a successful electrical supply business owner grew up on the edge of the Boston Edison District. Neighbors included famed UAW President Walter Reuther whose driver occasionally drove Tarnow to school in the labor leader’s bulletproof Packard He graduated from Mumford High School in 1959 then enrolled at the University of Michigan, returning home a year later to attend Wayne State University he earned his bachelor's degree in 1963 and went on to earn his law degree with honors in 1965 to try to help people,” Tarnow told the federal court’s historical society in a 2017 interview working at universities in Australia and New Guinea Upon his return to the states in the late 1960s,  Tarnow was recruited by law school friends to work for the Legal Aid and Defender Office in Detroit where he represented criminal defendants in  their legal appeals. In 1970 Tarnow became the first full-time director of the newly created State Appellate Defender’s Office He ran for Detroit Recorder’s Court but lost the general election so he spent the next 26 years in private practice President Bill Clinton nominated Tarnow to the federal bench in Detroit where he would oversee numerous high-profile cases He was often spotted walking downtown alone and buying his lunch chose to keep his first-floor courtroom rather than move higher up - he didn't like elevators and enjoyed being across the hall from the candy store -  and installed two miniature cowbells in the jury box of his courtroom so jurors could let him know when it was time for a restroom break “I was overwhelmed,” Tarnow said of his early days on the bench “It takes a lot of time to become an effective federal judge The key thing is to listen and recognize that you don’t know everything Tarnow handled several high-profile cases over the years he temporarily blocked a new state law that would have banned so-called partial birth abortions and imposed a maximum penalty of up to life in prison for violations Tarnow ruled that proponents of Proposal 2 tricked voters into signing petitions to put an anti-affirmative measure on the statewide ballot While he concluded that the deception didn’t violate federal discrimination laws  he said those who were misled could rectify the situation by voting against the issue in the November election The decision was upheld on appeal and Michigan voters went on to approve the measure which banned race and gender preferences in government hiring and public-university admissions Tarnow presided over the sensational Miami Companions sex-ring case which involved a nationwide escort service that sold sex for $500 an hour had a black book of 3,000 customers and raked in more than $4 million with metro Detroit being among its busiest ports Tarnow oversaw the child slavery case of a U-M janitor who was convicted of sneaking four west African children into the U.S. a toilet plunger and ice scraper. Tarnow sentenced the man to 11 years in prison but an appeals court struck down the slavery conviction forcing Tarnow to reduce the man's sentence to 21 months in prison " 'You got a huge break," Tarnow told the defendant adding:  "I trust that you've learned your lesson as to your form of Asked in 2018 how he would like to be remembered Tarnow said: “Being a public servant with great power is a large responsibility the family is hoping to hold a memorial gathering this summer Contact Tresa Baldas: tbaldas@freepress.com who oversaw landmark and lurid cases during a 24-year career on the federal bench handling everything from civil rights and sex discrimination matters to permanently sealing a black book listing thousands of sex ring customers He was 79  and died at Henry Ford Hospital after being treated for heart issues The Detroit native was nominated to the lifetime position by President Bill Clinton in 1997 following a distinguished career as an appellate lawyer representing indigent defendants a son of a successful electrical supply businessman was raised in the affluent Boston Edison district One neighbor was United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther whose chauffeur occasionally drove Tarnow to school in a bulletproof Packard Tarnow graduated from Wayne State University Law School in 1965 and spent the next three decades largely working on behalf of indigent defendants and was the first full-time director of the state Appellate Defender Office dry sense of humor and eschewing the trappings of a job in an industry with lifetime appointments and big egos He worked in a marbled building with private judges-only elevators and security escorts, but Tarnow was often spotted alone including on the streets of downtown Detroit strolling through a community garden before returning to his courtroom where he had installed a bell so jurors could alert him for bathroom breaks “Everyone would agree Art did not suffer from the dreaded judicial disease of ‘robe-itis,'” friend and Detroit defense lawyer Steve Fishman said “Art Tarnow was one of the finest people I ever had the privilege of knowing," Fishman added "In addition to being a great appellate lawyer and a terrific judge but it still pains me greatly to hear of his passing.” The judge handled several notable cases and was criticized, in recent months, for freeing nearly three dozen inmates during the COVID-19 pandemic — including a convicted drug dealer accused of shooting two women after being freed from prison District Judge Denise Page Hood said in a statement “Judge Tarnow was an excellent judge fair in all ways and ever cognizant of the hurdles facing men and women returning to the community after serving a sentence in prison He was also a loyal friend and a had a sense of humor that could sometimes catch you off guard or was just plain corny." Tarnow temporarily blocked a new state law that would have banned partial birth abortions and imposed maximum penalties of up to life in prison he permanently blocked the law from taking effect he agreed there was fraud in a Michigan petition drive to ban the use of race and gender preferences in university admissions and government hiring and contracting But he said the fraud did not violate federal anti-discrimination laws because it was perpetrated on both Blacks and Whites Tarnow presided over the cases of a husband and wife who built one of the country's largest escort services The case lingered for months and caused anxiety amid a fight over whether the prostitution ring's black book — a database containing more than 30,000 customer names — would become public.  Tarnow eventually ordered the black book indefinitely sealed from public view "The country and the state of Michigan have suffered the loss of the consummate jurist," said lawyer Paul DeCailly who defended Miami Companions co-owner Greg Carr "Judge Tarnow was truly fair and impartial someone who listened to both sides and ruled within the bounds of the law.  It is a sad day indeed." an administrative law judge with the Social Security Administration recalled Tarnow’s encouragement and firm sense of right and wrong “He encouraged his law clerks to be engaged in current events and to view the world in a humanistic way,” Foley wrote in an email to The Detroit News.  “To his law clerks he was the penultimate mentor Tarnow's dry sense of humor extended to his fashion sense He liked old cardigans and braved Detroit winters without a coat Someone suggested Tarnow must have lost a glove Twitter: @robertsnellnews Log in and download the free e-publication of the latest A&B The

Tarnów after a difficult season secured promotion to METALKAS 2 and one of the architects of this success was Marko Levishyn who decided to stay with the club for another year spoke during the team’s presentation with ekstraliga.pl about his preparations for the season and the exceptional support from Tarnów’s fans Weronika Cich (ekstraliga.pl): AUTONA UNIA Tarnów last season had to face a series of off-track challenges What made you decide to stay with the club or perhaps faith in the team’s rebuilding guide you Marko Levishyn (AUTONA UNIA Tarnów): First and foremost This is what most influenced my decision to stay with the club I knew I couldn’t abandon the club despite these problems I believed and knew the management would find the funds to make next year significantly lighter Have you introduced any new elements to your training Or have you focused more on recovery after last season I haven’t introduced any major changes to my training Everything within my power I do at 110 percent I think this will help me achieve the best results Zapraszamy na dużą porcję zdjęć z wczorajszej prezentacji naszej drużyny od Foto Janusz Tokarski 📸 Looking at AUTONA UNIA Tarnów’s lineup this year how do you assess its strength compared to other teams in the league Do you think the team has a realistic chance to fight for promotion or is the main goal to stabilize after a difficult period How do you assess the atmosphere in the team and cooperation with colleagues I assess our lineup and atmosphere very positively I will add that some say I’m a mystery and you have to do your best for the best results Every athlete sets different goals – is your priority to improve your running average There must be a result – that’s the most important A rider constantly works on their mistakes Everything must work together for the result to be satisfactory Poland is considered one of the strongest leagues in the world but are you considering competing in other countries Which leagues do you consider attractive in terms of rider development Or do you already have specific offers that you’re considering I need to show myself here so that later it will be easier for me to ride and compete elsewhere This season you surpassed the age to compete as a U24 rider What challenges do you see associated with this I think it will be more of a challenge for the team I rode here for two seasons as a U24 rider now I’ve passed that age and I need to take on the role of a senior I don’t look at it any differently because whether I was 23 or 21 I just wanted to race very well on speedway AUTONA UNIA Tarnów fans are known for their commitment What does their support during competitions mean to you Do you have any particular memories associated with Tarnów fans The fans in Tarnów are really great people we could also see how many of them came to support us because all tickets were sold out Every athlete has someone who inspired them early on – were they famous speedway figures What have you learned from your mentor and how does it impact your career today He especially had good starts and I remember him fondly Although I didn’t get the chance to meet or compete with him he has been my idol and inspiration from the very beginning nurse at Springfield Elementary School in Michigan City Laurie Tarnow has been with Michigan City Area Schools for almost 28 years an RN at Springfield Elementary School was inspired by her grandmother For young kids who aren’t feeling well during the school day there can be an added layer of anxiety in being away from their parents or caregivers That’s why it is so important that they know they can turn to their school nurse and feel comfortable and cared for For students at Springfield Elementary School in Michigan City Laurie Tarnow of LaPorte is that comforting presence with a needed bandage or medication and assurance that they’ll be OK handling emergency situations and guiding kids through the everyday trials of having a chronic illness are just a few Tarnow has now been with Michigan City Area Schools for almost 28 years Before that she worked at Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie and St Tarnow also spent two years with Charter Behavioral Health Tarnow’s sister-in-law told her a school nurse was retiring in MCAS and she applied It turned out to be a perfect schedule as she raised her two children and was able to be on holiday and summer breaks with them Tarnow’s grandmother was a factory nurse and county health nurse “She was so giving and charitable,” says Tarnow Tarnow was able to take a nursing class that allowed her to also spend a half day working at a nursing home and hospital She loved it and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ball State University “Laurie is a dedicated professional,” says Springfield Elementary Principal Lisa Emshwiller She cares deeply about the health of our students and staff I appreciate her positive attitude and hard work.” a preschooler fractured her arm on the playground and Tarnow accompanied the girl in the ambulance And though not every day has been so eventful A few of her overall great relationships with students stick out “I can think of one in particular whom I had the privilege to watch grow and who summarized all the positive parts of this profession,” she says “He was diagnosed with type I diabetes in kindergarten and together he his family and I learned to enable him rather than disable him to live his best life He was such a smart/teachable student and I watched him become independent in dealing with his diabetes Every day I was amazed by him and his wonderful family we bonded and I was reminded why I truly love being a school nurse.” nursing chair for Michigan City Area Schools sees Tarnow as a huge asset to the school and student population “She has an exceptional work ethic and she is kind and empathetic with our students “She really has a heart for school nursing.” That is one reason Tarnow was chosen as a top nurse in the Region by popular vote Her children have followed careers that are a blend of hers with a son who is a nurse on an orthopedic med/surg floor and a daughter who is a 4th grade

The city’s mayor, along with his counterparts in nearby Kraków and Oświęcim, appealed to the province of Małopolska Polish city offers support to LGBT youth as part of equality month campaign Such actions reflect the fact that larger towns and cities in Poland tend to be more liberal with local authorities from centrist and left-wing opposition parties Smaller towns and rural areas are more conservative and more likely to vote for PiS As a result, Poland has been ranked as the worst country in the EU for LGBT people by ILGA-Europe LGBT “deviants don’t have same rights as normal people”,

DVIDS, must comply with the restrictions shown on https://www.dvidshub.net/about/copyright Detroit — A convicted drug dealer is accused of shooting two women earlier this month after being freed from prison two years early by a federal judge who granted compassionate release because of the COVID-19 pandemic Federal court records and interviews reveal a violent end to a second chance for a serial felon freed from prison by a federal judge who has freed more than two dozen federal inmates during the pandemic Data obtained by The Detroit News show U.S District Judge Arthur Tarnow has approved at least 27 requests for compassionate release from inmates out of 30 applications The status of the remaining three requests was unclear Tuesday.  Since March, orders by federal judges freeing inmates in Metro Detroit have resulted in deadly and dangerous outcomes, including one inmate killed days after being released from jail after his lawyer cited the “unprecedented and extraordinarily dangerous" COVID-19 pandemic The shooting that police say involved Segars happened six months after the judge freed him from a West Virginia federal prison Segars sought compassionate release due to medical concerns in May but his prison warden said no later that month Segars had spent more than two years in prison after being sentenced to five years for conspiring to sell heroin and illegally possessing a firearm. His projected release date was June 2022 The judge credited Segar's "spotless" disciplinary record behind bars and "low risk of recidivism," according to court records that indicate Segars planned to move in with his fiancée in Detroit "Considering the number of infected people Segars is unknowingly in contact with, continuing to incarcerate him under these conditions could be a lethal decision," Tarnow wrote "The court refuses to join FCI Morgantown in its ignorance of a deadly virus hidden in plain sight extraordinary and compelling reasons exist for Segars’s immediate compassionate release." Tarnow also credited Segars with enrolling in several classes while in prison "Considering that Segars has taken responsibility for his crimes, has resolved to stay away from crime and his family is willing to take him in and support his reentry, the court sees no reason why he cannot serve the remainder of his sentence at home," the judge wrote The brick colonial-style home Segars moved into after leaving prison became acrime scene Dec Segars and his fiancée were arguing on the first floor of the home according to a federal court petition written by his probation officer The mother saw Segars pulling his fiancée's hair yelled for him to stop and said she was going to call the police "Segars then produced a handgun and fired four to five shots at (the fiancée) and then two to three shots at (the mother)," the probation officer wrote Segars went outside and fired several more shots before leaving the neighborhood Segars was arrested at a nearby gas station and charged with 14 state crimes which is punishable by up to life in prison His court-appointed lawyer did not respond to a message seeking comment Federal prosecutors, meanwhile, charged him Tuesday with being a felon in possession of ammunition The charge is punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine The violent attack clashes with court records portraying Segars as a frail man suffering from hypertension and the effects of a stroke that paralyzed the right side of his body Segars walked with a cane and was unable to work as a window washer in prison Assistant U.S. Attorney Brant Cook opposed Segars' release, calling the three-time felon a danger to the community "who has consistently armed himself with multiple firearms despite the illegality of so doing." "He has proven that he is not amenable to deterrence," Cook wrote "and there is little reason to believe that he will abide by the law if released." Tarnow, a former chief deputy defender nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1997, declined comment through a court spokesman so Judge Tarnow is prohibited by the judicial canons from commenting publicly about this case," court spokesman David Ashenfelter wrote in an email to The Detroit News Ashenfelter referred the media to a transcript of the June hearing that ended with Segars being approved for release the judge focused on Segars' employment prospects and risk of returning to the drug trade.  “I am not that same person that I once was,” Segars told the judge I will find a job if you decide to let me out.” noted Segars did not have a history of committing violent crime Tarnow encouraged Segars to inquire about obtaining disability benefits and taught Segars a history lesson after learning the inmate had served time in a state prison in St “Do you know what Saint Louis is famous for?” Tarnow said “There is a big sign that says it's the exact middle of the lower peninsula," the judge said the judge approved Segars’ release “You are vulnerable because of your medical condition,” Tarnow said The judge released Segars even though there were no reported cases of COVID-19 in the West Virginia prison, which he said likely reflected a lack of testing “And you have displayed an attitude today and before of having both taken responsibility and acknowledging that you are not going to do this again,” the judge added “And I am not naive enough to think that somehow that makes you completely safe it's a much lower risk than when you went in "You know that you should never be anywhere near a gun," the judge added the region’s top federal law enforcement officer has warned against a mass release of defendants or convicted inmates.  In a letter to the chief federal judge in Detroit earlier this year Schneider said he would "strongly urge the court to pause and consider the risk that a mass release of criminal defendants would pose to public safety right now Judicial and law enforcement resources are already under strain and our district suffers from more violent crime than almost any other district in the nation." faulted the federal prosecutor’s office for failing to fully consider compassionate release requests “It’s shocking to me how few are granted and how little consideration the U.S Attorney’s Office gives them,” she told The News on Tuesday Twitter: @RobertSnellnews once a hub of Eastern European Jewish life lost nearly all of its 25,000 Jewish inhabitants in the genocide of World War II In the last years of a 500-year-old bustling Jewish center there were round-ups in the central square the remaining 10,000 Jews were liquidated—7,000 to Auschwitz and 3,000 to Plaszow was transported to a work camp and then Auschwitz last-minute selection inside the gas chambers to join a girls’ work force in a Sudetenland labor camp and recovered little information about their ultimate dispensation during her lifetime But families like ours have new opportunity to discover their histories as a community with roots in Tarnów through a collaborative preservation project and social media campaign The non-Jewish citizens and mayor of Tarnów in partnership with American and Israeli Jews—many of whom lost relatives—are restoring the Tarnów Jewish Cemetery: painstakingly cleaning and documenting graves;
