Authorities say Maricopa County Assessor Paul D. Petersen has been indicted in an adoption fraud scheme.The Department of Public Safety raided Petersen's home and businesses on Tuesday evening.During that raid, eight pregnant Marshallese women were located.According to the Attorney General's Office, the raids are related to a multi-state investigation, arrest, and criminal indictment involving Petersen and another person -- Lynwood Jennet. Petersen also faces charges for related offenses in Arkansas and Utah.According to the indictment, Petersen and Jennet face 32 counts, including conspiracy, fraudulent schemes and practices, theft, and forgery.Officials say in addition to being County Assessor for Maricopa County, Petersen is also an adoption lawyer.In a press conference held Wednesday, Attorney General Mark Brnovich said none of the women who gave birth did anything illegal, and none of the families that adopted children are accused of any crimes. Adoptions that are pending in other states involving children from these schemes will be looked at on a case by case basis. 1100

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The eldest son of President Donald Trump has received a permit to hunt and kill a grizzly bear in Alaska. Officials said Monday that Donald Trump Jr. was granted the permit to hunt north and east of Nome later this year. Trump applied for one of 27 licenses designated for out-of-state residents in the Nome area. Director of Wildlife Conservation Eddie Grasser says the remoteness of the location and the amount of marketing likely figure into the lack of interest. Non-resident hunters killed 11 grizzlies in the area last year. 567

BARTLETT, Ill. — For parents who are caregivers of adults with disabilities the question about who will care for them after they’re gone is haunting. And even for those who understand the system and plan ahead, the course is challenging. It’s something Liz Mescher knows all too well.“It should not be this hard,” she says as she puts on display the stacks of forms, denials and appeals she has organized in piles and folders in her kitchen. Mescher says trying to get the benefits her sons need is a never-ending battle. “I mean that's all I do, my counter gets filled with paperwork,” Mescher says.Caring for her two sons is more than a full-time job. “We're on top of them all day long. So, they're really not out of our eyesight,” she explains.Both her sons Eric and Ryan, are in their 20s and have autism.“The younger one has a lot of anxiety and the older one just can't tolerate being touched,” Mescher says. And as they’ve grown older, caring for the men under the same roof has become increasingly difficult.“So the goal is to get placement for Eric to go into housing so he can be happy, and we could probably get a little break,” the mother says.But the wait lists for services like group home placement are long. As of 2017, 707,000 people were on waiting lists in 40 states. That’s an increase of 8% from the previous year.In Illinois, where the Meschers live, the wait list is more than 19,000. Meg Cooch, the executive director of Arc Illinois, says the state is not unique. Cooch’s advocacy organization focuses on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. “There are lawsuits around the country looking at waiting lists and looking at people getting access to community services because it's such a problem,” Cooch says.Resources, funding and housing options for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are dwindling. Professional caregivers are becoming less willing to do the job for what states are willing to pay. “It's not a minimum wage job,” Cooch explains. “And as a result, we are competing with fast food and with Amazon paying an hour to be able to find people to be able to provide these supports.”With one in four cared for by family members who themselves are aging, experts say we are in the midst of a full-blown caregiving crisis.“It's going to be a crisis now and it's going to be even more of a crisis in the future,” Cooch warns.Approximately 39.8 million caregivers provide care to adults with a disability or illness. What’s startling is that more than half of these families say they have no plan in place for when the caregiver passes away. Over the last eight months Mescher has applied to 16 group homes. She hasn’t heard back from any of them. “These kids have to have a place to go," Mescher said. "They have to have a place as adults to go. What are you going to do with them? You know one day we're not going to be here. Where are they going to be? They have to be settled.”For parents like Mescher it’s that uncertainty of what will happen to her children when she’s gone that’s most unsettling. 3109

Breweries around the country are leading the charge to save more water, while keeping the same great taste. MillerCoors in Colorado has been taking on water conservation one barrel at a time.MillerCoors has been known as the Rocky Mountain beer, using snow-melted water to brew their beer for decades. "We collect a lot of snow throughout the winter; that snow is now melting and flowing down Clear Creek,” says Ben Moline, senior manager of water resources and environmental compliance at MillerCoors.The rushing water from Clear Creek is used not only by MillerCoors to brew beer, but the entire city of Denver, too."Being a large brewery in a metropolitan area, it’s our responsibility to be a good corporate citizen,” Moline says. “To make sure that we use water most efficiently. So that as the Denver area grows, there is water available for other people."The company brews 10 million barrels of beer a year. Currently, their water use is just below 3 barrels of water use per every barrel of beer produced.Beer is 90 percent to 95 percent water. Usually, it takes about five to six barrels of water per every barrel of beer. So, MillerCoors is conserving about two barrels each time.Since the 1950s, MillerCoors has been leading the way in water conservation."We do that by tracking water throughout the entire brewery,” Moline explains. “We are making sure we are not wasting water or spilling water. We make sure we recover as much water as we can and return it back into the Clear Creek system."What people don’t realize is that a majority of American breweries share the same water as the rest of the surrounding communities. When there’s a drought, like the 2015 drought in California, breweries experience a major hit in that state.In order for a drought not to effect MillerCoors, they have filled two large reservoirs with water next to their brewery for emergencies. They could continue brewing for three years if they had to use only the water from the reservoirs.Moline says there’s a great demand for sustainable beer. The competition among breweries across the country to use less water is heating up. "Without great water, you can't brew great beer," Moline says. 2196

BEIJING — China has reported another sharp rise in the number of people infected with COVID-19, commonly known as the coronavirus, as the death toll neared 1,400. The National Health Commission said Friday that 121 more people had died and there were 5,090 new confirmed cases. The number of reported cases has been rising more quickly after the hardest hit province changed the way it is counting them Thursday. There are now 63,851 confirmed cases in mainland China, of which 1,380 have died. Hubei province is now including cases based on a physician's diagnosis and before they have been confirmed by lab tests. Of the 5,090 new cases, 3,095 fell into that category.Hundreds of cruise ship passengers long-stranded at sea by fears over COVID-19 have finally disembarked and were welcomed to Cambodia by the nation's authoritarian leader, who handed them flowers. Prime Minister Hun Sen agreed to let the Westerdam dock after Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and Guam barred the ship over fears it might spread a virus. The passengers cheered as they walked toward buses to take them to the airport and waved goodbye to other passengers watching from the ship's deck. The Westerdam was unwelcome elsewhere even though operator Holland America Line said no cases of the COVID-19 illness had been confirmed among its passengers and crew. 1360
