Duard Goble Judith E. Forell LOS ANGELES (TNS) — In the days before Robin Williams hanged himself in his stepson’s bedroom, the troubled actor had become increasingly paranoid and had difficulty sleeping, according to a coroner’s report released Friday. Williams’ sleeping problems included talking in his sleep. The nightly disruptions had gotten so bad for him and his wife that Williams took to sleeping in the bedroom of his stepson, who was away, according to newly released details included in the Marin County Coroner’s autopsy report. The day before he was found dead in his Tiburon, Calif., home Aug. 11, Williams put a few of his wrist watches into a sock and dropped it off at an associate’s house — an odd incident his wife chalked up to his increasing concern about the safety of his valuables. Later that evening, Williams handed his wife some magazines he’d bought her and toyed around on his iPad for a bit. Then, he retired to his son’s bedroom and locked the door. The next morning, his wife out running errands, William’s assistant and a second person at the home became concerned when the actor didn’t leave his bedroom. They slipped him a note under the door to see if he was OK, but got no response. cemetery, with military honors courtesy of the Legion Riders of Hays and the Kansas Army National Guard.

Vera Florence Dawson Veda Marie (Smith) Miller Voters in north Texas town OK fracking ban By Molly Hennessy-Fiske Tribune News Service nents formed a coalition of environmentalists and HOUSTON — Voters conservatives against what approved bans on hydraulic they saw as big government fracturing in California, infringing on their health, Ohio and Texas last week, safety and land rights. most notably in a north “People recognize this is Texas town at the heart a mainstream issue,” said of the nation’s oil and gas Adam Briggle, 37, vice presboom. ident of the group behind The fracking ban in the ban, Frack Free Denton. Denton, a college town Briggle, an associate of 121,000 approximately professor of philosophy at 40 miles north of Dallas, the University of North passed with 59 percent of Texas, said the ban was a the vote. last resort. He and other “This is unprecedented,” organizers had worked for said Bill Kroger, an attorney years to strengthen industry for the Texas Oil & Gas As- regulations, but the industry sociation, which is fighting found ways to work around the ban. them, he said.

Andrew Fryberg, 15, died Friday evening. He had been in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Harborview in Seattle since the shooting two weeks ago. Fryberg is the fifth student to die, including Jaylen Fryberg, who shot his friends Oct. 24 in the school cafeteria before fatally shooting himself. Zoe Galasso, 14, died that day in the cafeteria. Gia Soriano, 14, died at Everett’s Providence Regional Medical Center two days later, and Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14, died at Providence one week after the shooting. Additional services wells are closer, Briggle said. His group’s biggest concerns: fracking’s impact on air and water and the potential for industrial accidents, especially close to homes and playgrounds. When Denton residents brought a proposed ban before the city council in July, it failed, 5 to 2, so they gathered nearly 2,000 signatures to place the issue on Tuesday’s ballot. “What we would like to see is that local communities, the people most vulnerable to the risks of fracking, are empowered to have a greater say over this,” Briggle said. Those who complain the urban fracking ban infringes on their mineral rights can shift to conventional drilling, Briggle said, or “they can come up with a safer way to maximize their profits that doesn’t encroach on other people’s rights.” The anti-fracking ordinance is set to take effect Dec. 2. Energy companies and the state are fighting it. Already, separate lawsuits have been filed in two district courts — by Texas Oil & Gas Association and the state’s General Land Office — challenging the ordinance. The leader of the state commission that approves drilling permits pledged this week to continue issuing them in Denton. Thomas Phillips, an attorney for the association and former chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court, issued a statement questioning the ordinance’s legality. “Many of the wells in Denton cannot be produced without hydraulic fracturing, so a ban denies many mineral interest owners the right to gain value from their property, despite the state’s public policy in favor of developing natural resources,” Phillips wrote. Kroger, the lead law- yer on the case, said the association had asked for a permanent injunction blocking the fracking ban, arguing it was trumped by state laws that “encourage and promote the practice in the state.” “There’s a lot of fears that are not justified or not based in science and fact” about fracking, Kroger said, adding the legal battle “is really about who should make decisions about how we not only protect mineral rights, but the public.” Denton city officials, including Mayor Chris Watts, who initially voted against it, have vowed to defend the fracking ban in court. “The democratic process is alive and well in Denton,” Watts said in a statement after the vote. “Hydraulic fracturing, as determined by our citizens, will be prohibited in the Denton city limits. The city council is committed to defending the ordinance.” MEADOWLARK ASSISTED LIVING The best kept secret in Ellis County!
