The sentence includes 27 years for first-degree assault in connection to Bartell's death in addition to 5 years for second-degree assault and 8 years Kwak and two other accomplices, Nicholas Karol-Chik and Joseph Koenig – all three teenagers at the time of the incident, were initially charged with first-degree murder for the April 19 who died after a landscaping rock was thrown at her car Kwak agreed to a plea deal in May of 2024 and was only convicted of first and second-degree assault and attempted second-degree assault He said he didn’t throw any rocks that night but acknowledged he acted in a way that created a grave risk of death telling the court that Koenig was the one who threw the fatal rock that also caused Bartell’s vehicle to leave the road and crash the trio took photos of the scene without checking on Bartell Describing Bartell as "the most polite person to strangers" Bartell's brother spoke about the immense pain he has have felt over the last two years while reading a note he wrote to his sister "The pain of your loss may never fade but I hold onto the beautiful memories we made together," he read "Your memory remains a beacon in my life — I take solace you found eternal peace in Heaven." spoke of the bond she had with her older brother and the many missed moments and milestones since her death always looking up to him — always wanting to be a part of his world," Kelly Bartell told the packed courtroom "Every morning I wake up and relive the same horrible nightmare I find it difficult to feel joy without also feeling guilt as if any happiness I experience is wrong — like the world has no business moving on without my beautiful daughter." addressed Bartell family on the loss of Alexa and did not ask the judge for leniency "I make no request pertaining to sentencing or punishment we are at your mercy — this court's mercy." Zachary Kwak took to the podium to express remorse for what he said were his actions and for handing the rocks to the other defendants "I knew what they were doing had the potential to cause harm and it was dangerous and yet I did it anyway," said Kwak "I feel truly crippled for the remorse I feel for what happened and the role I played in it I let everybody down in the most devastating way." Koenig was found guilty of first-degree murder and several other charges, including attempted murder, after jury deliberations Friday following an 11-day trial. He is facing life in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced in June.

Read our Privacy notice A school board in Arkansas put the superintendent on leave after her husband a former teacher and registered sex offender The Hot Springs School District placed Dr. Stephanie Nehus on administrative leave Friday after mounting public calls for the superintendent to resign after her husband, Zachary Nehus, was arrested on Tuesday, KARK 4 reported in 2016 for possession of sexually explicit images of children he’s being held in Garland County Detention Center for allegedly violating his parole The school board had opted to keep the superintendent in her post on Thursday Her husband was arrested in 2014 on more than two dozen counts of child pornography He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and 10 years of probation His parole violation involves “evidence” that was found at his home relating to his original conviction during a routine check by police But the board reversed course after parents expressed outrage, placing Nehus on leave and naming Becky Rosburg, the assistant superintendent, as interim superintendent until the end of the school year. Dr. Mike Hernandez will take over from then until June 2026, THV11 reported. Parents stood outside the school board’s meeting calling for Nehus to be removed. One parent, captured by THV11, held up a sign that read: “Integrity in schools starts at the top!” According to the school district's website, Nehus obtained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Henderson State University and her Doctor of Education degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Before becoming superintendent, she worked as a math teacher, assistant principal, and principal at schools in the state. The website says she has been with the Hot Springs School District for 15 years and was named the Arkansas Rural Education Association Superintendent of the Year for 2021-2022. Nehus and her husband have three children together. “This time, parents are finally feeling heard,” Sara Jeffers, a parent, told KARK. “I definitely do feel like people are finally listening to us.” However, the issue isn’t totally resolved, as some parents are still frustrated by the lack of transparency regarding the terms of her leave. “While I’m happy at the moment that some kind of action has been taken, there are so many more layers of corruption,” Jeffers added. “I still feel defeated, and I’m not going to not feel defeated until she is gone.” “There was a lot of questions as far as if it's going to be a paid administrative leave or it's not,” Emilie Boyett, another parent, told THV11. After her appointment, Rosburg sent out a statement, obtained by the outlets, to the Hot Springs community. “Our students, families, and staff deserve consistency during this time of transition, and I am committed to honoring the work already underway while ensuring our continued progress. I, with the help of the entire administrative team, will work diligently to renew your trust and support in our District,” she said.

development in higher education at UMaine while working as a graduate assistant in COEHD’s Advising Center I chose UMaine for its tight-knit community encouraging and inspiring people who cultivate a deeply connected and supportive environment and every visit to UMaine before I started my college career here reinforced my desire to be part of such a community or scholarly pursuits in which you have participated How have they prepared you for future opportunities in your chosen field I completed my student teaching internship which was a full-time placement at a local high school This intensive internship has prepared me for my future career in education The UMaine faculty and cooperating teachers have been nothing short of amazing This internship allowed me to put my classroom knowledge into practice deepening my learning and confirming my passion for education while becoming a part of a local school community Have there been other students who supported and inspired you or exposed you to something new other students—whether they are my classmates or fellow members of the clubs I’m involved in—inspire me to create change within our community and state My peers who are student teaching have inspired me to improve this experience by advocating for a paid student teaching internship Their passion for education and the struggles they face in this unpaid role have exposed me to the challenges students pursuing careers in education encounter I’ve worked to raise awareness of these issues and I hope to create meaningful change in this area or role model who made your time at UMaine better But my student teaching mentor teacher Shana Goodall has made the most significant impact on my education a dedicated high school social studies teacher and a mentor for future educators like myself Her guidance has shaped me and prepared me for the next stage of my life and career The amount of time she consistently dedicates to supporting her students fellow staff and future educators speaks for itself She embodies everything I admire in an educator and hope to be as a future teacher The mentorship she has provided has been pivotal to my time at UMaine and it is something I will forever be grateful for What has coming to UMaine enabled you to explore beyond academics UMaine has allowed me to explore my interests in public education beyond the classroom through extracurriculars like the Student Maine Education Association (SMEA) This club has given me the opportunity to learn about organized labor organizations such as the Maine Education Association I began to understand public education more holistically and explored the politics of education What experiences have you had at UMaine that really highlight the ingenuity of Mainers One experience that highlights the ingenuity of Mainers occurred when my classmates in the College of Education and Human Development came together to start a food pantry for fellow students in field placements who were struggling financially Their quick action shows the compassion and ingenuity of Mainers Did you have an experience at UMaine that shaped or changed how you see the world Being a resident assistant and helping students navigate UMaine as first-years and upperclassmen has truly opened my eyes to how far a little help can go in ensuring someone’s success Residents come to me daily with questions about dining halls or roommate issues residents have come to me with serious concerns about their academics and feel like they need to end their education and go home I’ve had the honor of helping them access the resources they need to succeed such as Student Accessibility Services or tutoring I’ve sat with students to help them write an email to their professor asking for help These experiences have shown me the power and importance of being there for your community deepening my passion for helping those on an educational journey Maine’s harsh winters and tight-knit communities embody resilience The UMaine community always comes together to support each other Students are encouraged to embrace this resilience learning to adapt and thrive in a world that is constantly changing and often uncertain UMaine reminds us that we are resilient together The strength of the UMaine community and everyone within it is evident in our success in the classroom I could not be more proud to be part of this resilient community What are your plans for after you graduate I will return to the University of Maine to pursue a Master of Education in Higher Education and will take a graduate assistant position in the College of Education and Human Development Advising Center I’m excited to continue my education and diversify my skill set in the education field I’m especially excited to help cultivate the next generation of educators so early in my career It’s a way I never imagined I’d be able to give back to UMaine Contact: Casey Kelly, casey.kelly@maine.edu ScrantonMeet

brothers and Nathan Tesmer; He also leaves behind grandparents Ken (“Pete”) and Nellie Eising; mother-in-law Zach was also the cherished nephew of Dave and Dawn Eising Zach didn’t reserve his love and loyalty for just blood relatives — his friends were every bit as much a part of his family to him His “tribe” included friends Colin  Though his time with us was far too short Zachary packed more living into 27 years than many do in a lifetime He showed everyone that life is meant to be embraced with joy and the love he spread to everyone lucky enough to know “Dean-o.” In our grief we take comfort in knowing that his spirit lives on whenever we share a funny story about him or crack a joke in his honor “It never hurts to be kind; you never know when it will come back to you.” And we think that sums Zach up pretty well but we will honor him by continuing to laugh and live a little bit like Dean-o every day 2025 at Hampton-Gentry Funeral Home beginning at 3:00 p.m. where friends and family may visit from 11:00 a.m ZACHARY - The East Baton Rouge Communications District broke ground on a new tower in Zachary on Wednesday afternoon.  The 300-foot tower will fill coverage gaps in the area It benefits residents and emergency responders.  Director Jim Verlander says the connection will help reach areas far from the capitol city The prpoject has been in the works since 2015.  Zachary Dennis Vail passed away on the morning of January 2 at his home with his loving and devoted mother by his side Zachary and Christina have lived in the Ogden area throughout Zachary’s life Zachary found great joy and pleasure in being a skillful and knowledgeable “Gamer.” He loved to play and talk about gaming on any system—console He also loved to sketch and paint and had a depth of artistic style all his own He loved talking with people and never met a stranger because he found a commonality and conveyed his kindness and love to everyone He always looked forward to spending time with his cousins Zachary had a special bond with his grandparents he spoke often of his love for both of them Christina;
