Miss Universe pageant, Sheriff says driver told valet host sorry for mistake to call 911 after Vegas crash The Associated Press The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Miss Universe pageant and host Steve Harvey doubled down on the apologies Monday after an excruciating live television moment — announcing incorrectly that Miss Colombia had won and then taking the crown from her head to give to a rival from the Philippines. The fallout from Sunday’s show made Harvey an online symbol of “oops” moments, drew a reaction from Colombia’s president and even a gloating tweet from Donald Trump, the pageant’s former owner. As televised on Fox, the contest was down to Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo of Colombia and Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines when Harvey, a first-time Miss Universe host, proclaimed Gutierrez the winner after a long dramatic pause. Music swelled, Gutierrez was fitted for a sash,
given flowers and a crown was placed on her head. That made it two straight Miss Universe winners for Colombia, where the pageants are taken seriously. She bathed in applause for nearly two minutes before Harvey slowly made his way back onto the stage. “I have to apologize,” he said. “The first runner-up is Colombia.” The camera switched to a bewildered-looking Wurtzbach, who came back on the stage to get the crown as the same celebratory music repeated. Harvey said she’d be taking her first walk as Miss Universe, but mostly she stood immobile. A woman stood in between the two contestants, trying to comfort Arevalo by rubbing her back. Two minutes later, the comedian who hosts his own daytime talk show as well as the game show “Family Feud” returned, saying “let me just take control of this.”
WOULD YOU DO WHAT HE DID? If you were told exactly what to do to inherit eternal life, would you do it? In the case of the rich young ruler, he did not (Mark 10:17-25). As Jesus was preparing for a journey, the young man runs up to Jesus, bows and asks what he should do to inherit eternal life. Jesus responded with, seemingly, the standard answer, most of which was straight from the Ten Commandments. The young man’s response is intriguing. “And he said to Him, ‘Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up” (Mark 10:20). He is saying that he is already doing those things. It makes me wonder why he even asked. It appears that something inside him knew
Harvey explained on the air that he misread the card he was given with the names of the winners. Colombia was listed as the first runner-up, and he’d been confused with how it was written. He held up the card for the camera. “It is my mistake,” he said. “Still, it’s a great night. Please don’t hold it against the ladies. We feel very badly, but it’s still a great night.” Harvey later tweeted an apology to the women and viewers. “I feel terrible,” he wrote. The Miss Universe organization also issued an apology on Monday. Wurtzbach later said she was happy to win, but confused and concerned for her rival. She said she tried to approach her backstage, but the Colombian contestant was crying and surrounded by a crowd of women. “I did not take the crown from her,” Wurtzbach said. Celebrations quickly turned to anger in Colombia, where the hashtag “Respect the Crown” was the country’s top trending topic on Twitter. Even the president was upset. “They put the crown on her head,” President Juan Manuel Santos said Monday. “The photos are there to prove it. To me, as a Colombian, she is still Miss Universe.”
LAS VEGAS — A woman with her 3-yearold daughter in the car smashed into crowds of visitors on the Las Vegas Strip, then drove to a hotel and told a valet to call 911 after killing a woman from Arizona and injuring dozens of others, authorities said Monday. People jumped on the car and banged on its windows, but Lakeisha N. Holloway, 24, would not stop driving on the sidewalk, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told reporters. Video appeared to show the crash in front of the Paris and Planet Hollywood casino-hotels was intentional, he said. The 1996 Oldsmobile sedan was fully on the sidewalk twice Sunday night, including once when it traveled for 200 feet, police said. The child in the car was not hurt. The crash happened on a busy stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard across from the dancing water fountains of the Bellagio hotel-casino where visitors crowd sidewalks as they head from one casino to another. The Miss Universe pageant was being held nearby at Planet Hollywood. Holloway drove a few blocks to a hotel, parked and asked a valet to call
police, saying she had run over some people on the Strip, Lombardo said. She was stoic when she was arrested, he said. Lombardo said police did not have a definitive motive but that they believe she had a falling out with the father of her child before the crash. A drug recognition expert on the scene determined Holloway was under the influence of a “stimulant,” but blood test results were pending. Holloway last lived in Oregon and had been in Las Vegas for about a week, where she was believed to be homeless and living in the car, authorities said. She faces a charge of murder with a deadly weapon and is being held without bail, prosecutors say. District Attorney Steve Wolfson said he also is considering a slew of other charges. “When a person drives a 2,000-pound-plus motor vehicle intentionally onto a sidewalk, killing and injuring scores of people, that’s murder,” Wolfson said. At least 35 people injured in the crash were taken to hospitals, including three people still in critical condition with head injuries, officials said The crash killed Jessica Valenzuela, 32, of
Buckeye, Arizona, according to Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg. The suburban Phoenix woman was visiting Las Vegas with her husband. Victims hailed from Oregon, Florida, Colorado, California, Washington, Mexico, and Quebec, Canada. Five were Canadian citizens and four were Oregon college students in town to compete in a wrestling tournament. Justin Cochrane, a visitor from Santa Barbara, California, said he was having dinner at a sidewalk restaurant outside the Paris hotel when he saw the car smashing into pedestrians. “It was just massacring people,” he said, adding that the car appeared to be going 30 to 40 mph. The Oldsmobile then went farther down the road and drove back into another crowd of pedestrians on the sidewalk, he said. Cochrane said he couldn’t understand why the car went into the crowd a second time. “Why would it slow to go around and then accelerate again?” he said. “I thought, ‘It’s a crazy person.’” Cochrane said he saw children and adults injured on the ground as the car drove away.
that he needed to do more. Mark’s account tells us that Jesus, “looking at him, had love for him” (Mark 10:21). At this point, we do not know what Jesus was thinking. It could be the case that He was happy to be talking with someone who knew that there was more to serving God than just the outward show of righteousness. The self-righteous acts of the religiously elite of the day drew a lot of negative attention from Jesus. “But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe

nothing. Do you remember the story of the rich man who “yielded plentifully” and made plans to build bigger barns to store his goods (see Luke 12:1521)? I wonder what kind of barns we have, and I wonder how big our barns are and if we have ever needed to build bigger ones.
