Marine Corps posthumously honors Capt. Robert M. Secher Just over a year ago, two Marines wearing dress uniforms eased out of their government-issued vehicles and walked up separate driveways -- one in Cordova, one in Germantown -- to deliver devastating news to the family of Capt. Robert M. Secher. A sniper's bullet killed Secher in October 2006 in Iraq's Anbar province. He was 33. On Wednesday Secher's mother and father were joined by 75 family, friends and fellow Marines, as the Corps honored Secher posthumously with a Bronze Star with Valor.

This article is part of an occasional series examining the impact of immigration on Memphis and the Mid-South Williams-Sonoma, a high-end retailer of everything from candlesticks to mahogany dining tables, produced $3.7 billion in sales last year. Christina Arce, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, says she helped generate some of that revenue. For years, Arce says, her life revolved around her job at one of Memphis' huge warehouses -- sewing monograms onto backpacks, sheets, pillowcases and other goods for Williams-Sonoma. Most workers in the monogram department, Arce asserts, were Hispanic immigrants sent by a staffing agency -- just like she...

NEW YORK - Employers have begun to discover troubling racial differences within their 401(k) retirement plans, a gap they say could leave today's black workers far less financially prepared for retirement than whites. Investor surveys and research by two large employers strongly suggest that blacks participate in retirement plans at far lower rates and are much less likely than whites to invest in the stock market. An industrywide study of 401(k) plan activity by race has never been conducted. Exelon Corp., the country's largest operator of nuclear power plants, discovered this year that about 15 out of every 100 black...

A man was shot in an exchange of gunfire with police in Germantown’s leafy Oakleigh subdivision this morning. The suspect was alert enough to struggle with paramedics as he was loaded onto an ambulance about 9:30. The ordeal started at 8:35 when police received a 911 call from 8670 Tan Oak. The man calling threatened to shoot his wife and himself, inspector F. R. Hester said. Police arrived to find a man in the back yard of the two-story brick home wielding a shotgun and an automatic pistol. That’s when the shooting started. No one else was injured. More details...

She vows to take her case to federal court, win office in November vote NASHVILLE -- The Tennessee Senate voted 26-6 Wednesday to void the District 29 election, but ousted senator Ophelia Ford vowed to challenge the action in federal court today -- and to win election in November. There was a bit of high drama after the vote as Ford initially did not leave the chamber during a recess designed to let her exit gracefully. But after a few minutes, she addressed the Senate, collected her things and left. "I just thank and praise God that He chose me...

Election commissioner aided ex-congressman Sealed records couldn't keep former congressman Harold Ford Sr. from tapping precise, sensitive details of a voter fraud investigation surrounding his sister's narrow win in a Tennessee state Senate race. Newly obtained documents show Ford spoke with keen accuracy this month when discussing five suspicious ballots cast in the Sept. 15 election that Ophelia Ford won by 13 votes. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the ballots cast in a heavily Democratic North Memphis precinct, including two cast in the names of elderly voters who had died weeks before the election. Ford had told a...

Marine's help to comrades in Fallujah firefight earns medal Abraham McCarver is slightly uncomfortable with the fuss. He understands discomfort. He's had three tours in Iraq. So the 23-year-old Marine lance corporal is putting up with the attention that comes with being awarded the Silver Star -- the third-highest combat decoration given by the military -- presented to him last month. He came home Thanksgiving Day for a weekend of family and food. On Saturday, the White Station High School graduate was at his grandparents' home in the Sea Isle area, joking around with aunts, uncles and cousins. But to...

County undecided if it will appeal The Tennessee Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned a 1994 law -- passed by 81 percent of Shelby County voters -- that enacted term limits for the County Commission and Office of Mayor. In a split 2-1 decision that will echo across the state, the court ruled it is unconstitutional for counties with a charter form of government, such as Shelby County, to adopt term limits for constitutional officers. The 1994 referendum amended Shelby County's charter to impose a limit of two 4-year terms for commissioners and the county mayor. The appeals court decision...

I just got this in from my sister..... Mom’s boss, Tom Murray, has been given about a week to live. I know, as well as you do, that God is not limited by time, but his battle against cancer and his bone marrow transplant recovery has taken its toll on his body and it really doesn’t look good for his time left here on earth. Please pray for his family: wife, Jeannie; son, Hunter & his wife Kristin (2 kids); daughter, Kristen & her husband Matthew (4 kids); and daughter, Courtney. The coming weeks will be tough for all of...

Forced at gunpoint to bank, man kills back-seat suspect He said they'd gotten him two weeks ago in his front yard, forcing him to the ground with a gun and stealing $400. But this time, 59-year-old Jacob Evans was ready. Tuesday, the same two robbers returned, telling him to withdraw $10,000 from his bank, or die, he said. Instead, Evans deposited six bullets in one of them. "I got prepared for them," Evans said, standing outside the Criminal Justice Center Tuesday night. "Today they acted a damn fool and came back." Shortly after 2 p.m., Memphis police arrived at First...

Petitions push city for hourly minimum pay By Magen Howard July 24, 2005 Have your pen ready -- Memphis's living wage campaigners might be asking for your signature. Groups are going door to door about twice a month this summer to gather at least 3,000 signatures supporting a living wage ordinance. They will be submitted to the City Council in the fall. "Paycheck to paycheck, I'm barely making ends meet," said Percy Banks Jr., a Memphis City Schools warehouse worker who volunteered this month. "The living wage bill struck my interest." Banks wants to take the information to his union...

By Wednesday afternoon, Spc. William Brooks was at his brother's house in Southaven, watching himself on TV. "Turn it to Fox 13!" his mother, Carolyn, yelled from the kitchen, not knowing he; his brother, John; his father, Larry and his best friends, Jeremy Johnson and Chris Tapper, were already watching his feted homecoming at Memphis International Airport earlier that day on Channel 3. There the 23-year-old military policeman was -- three months removed from March 29 when he drove his military vehicle over a roadside bomb near Baghdad, literally leaving himself half the 6-foot man he used to be. There...

Supreme Court ruling may allow Memphis to take land for project A U.S. Supreme Court decision backing the use of eminent domain for a riverfront project in Connecticut opens up new options for Memphis as it pursues a similar initiative along the Mississippi River, officials said Thursday. By a 5-4 vote, the court held Thursday that New London, Conn., could seize homes and businesses for a private development project because of the potential boost in tax revenues and jobs that could result. The decision was viewed as expanding the limits on eminent domain. Municipal leaders said it would help...

Parental consent is not always required in Tennessee Circuit Court Judge Rita Stotts was floored when an unwed teenage mother wound up in her courtroom earlier this year seeking approval for an abortion without her parents' consent. The shock was learning that Tennessee law allowed it and that it was a matter for circuit judges to decide. "I demanded to see the statute because I had no clue, and I would imagine there are a lot of other citizens who are not aware of it." Judge D'Army Bailey also recalled his surprise the first time a pregnant girl and several...

Clark Plunk wants the state to ban smoking in restaurants. He wants it so much that he planned to run for the legislature when he found out that his representative wasn't of a similar smoke-free mind. Rep. W.C. 'Bubba' Pleasant, a smoker, "told me his view is if you own a restaurant or bar, it should be your prerogative to say if you want smoking or non-smoking," says Plunk. Plunk's view is that smokers' rights stop at the tip of his nose. When Cuba, land of the fine cigar, bans smoking in restaurants, but bills to do the same in...
