Officers injured detaining suspect Several Aberdeen police officers suffered injuries from a combative suspect who had threatened his neighbors Friday evening, according to Aberdeen Police Lt. Dale Green. Police were called to a report of a man “screaming and throwing items at nearby neighbors” in the 1700 block of Aberdeen Avenue around 8:49 p.m., according to Green. “Upon arrival, the suspect, a 60-year-old Aberdeen resident, was yelling at neighbors that he was going to kill their cat then went into his residence,” said Green. Officers followed followed the suspect into the residence and the suspect “charged at the officers, punching one in the face while yelling at officers as they attempted to detain him,” said Green. A Taser was used to no effect as three officers attempted to detain the suspect. He was eventually taken into custody as more officers arrived to assist. “While escorting the male outside, there was large pane of glass resting next to the house,” said Green. “As they walked past the glass toward the patrol car, the suspect kneed the glass and was able to shove an escorting officer into the broken pane. This caused the suspect and officer to both sustain lacerations.” Officers attempted to treat the suspect for his injuries, but he resisted, eventually requiring him to be restrained to a stretcher while paramedics from the Aberdeen Fire Department treated the suspect, said Green.

Flyovers, military bands … and tanks? Here’s what we know about D.C.’s July 4 celebrations By Chris Cioffi CQ-Roll Call

WASHINGTON, D.C. —President Donald Trump’s presence will be felt at this year’s July Fourth celebrations in Washington, but some of the details on exactly what will happen and how he will participate remain murky. Trump plans to make a speech from the Lincoln Memorial Thursday evening —the first time a president has spoken during the festivities since 1951 —before the Capitol Fourth Concert on the West Lawn and fireworks show. There will also be a flyover by the Blue Angels and Air Force One, and did someone say tanks? “This is going to be a fantastic Fourth of July with increased access across the National Mall for the public to enjoy music, flyovers, a spectacular fireworks display, and an address by our Commander-in-Chief,” Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said in a release. Ever since the president’s February tweet

announcing the event, details about the plans have been trickling out. Here are some of the things we do (and don’t) know about the festivities planned for Trump’s “A Salute to America.”

Flyovers, military bands … and tanks? According to the Interior Department, the celebrations on the Mall will “honor each of the nation’s five service branches with music, military demonstrations, multiple flyovers including a flight demonstration by the Blue Angels and much more.” The “A Capitol Fourth” concert begins at 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 4, and gates will open to the public at 3 p.m. Public entrances to the West Front of the U.S. Capitol are at the North side of Capitol Square (Third Street, NW, and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW) and the South Side of Capitol Square (Third Street, SW, and See D.C., Page A5

Paving projects set to begin soon in Aberdeen By Louis Krauss Grays Harbor News Group

A few major paving projects will be getting underway in Aberdeen by the end of the month. The Aberdeen City Council approved a contract at last week’s meeting to pay a company $1,196,000 for its Transportation Improvement Fund (TIF) projects for 2019. The list of projects include repaving and constructing new sidewalks on Cushing Street between Clark and Lawrence streets; improvements to the curb and sidewalk of Arthur Street between B and Grant streets; repaving Market Street between Division and Park streets; Cherry Street between Myrtle and Oak streets; and Graves Avenue between Purkey and Lee Avenue.

Director Rick Sangder said about $500,000 of the money is from state grants, and added that the approximately $800,000 for the rest comes from the new higher Transportation Improvement Fund sales tax, which rose from 13 cents to 18 cents for every $100 of taxable goods. Mayor Erik Larson added that the city received more in state funding because of the higher Transportation Improvement Fund tax that allowed them to leverage more by offering more match funding from the city. That tax increase was approved by the council and then a special election in February sent to Aberdeen voters. Sangder said the work by Nova Contracting should begin by the end of the month, and that all projects would occur in 2019.
