Her son along with his friend were brutally beaten near court avenue in february. His physical wounds have healed but mentally, i think its something that will be with him the rest of his life. And just days after thanksgiving one man was shot and killed, another sent to the hospital. Its just a shame and shouldnt have to happen to anyone else, its just senseless. It caused several businesses along court avenue to pitch in and hire two off Duty Officers during weekend nights. We are hoping that as we go through this and into next season we will be fullforce. Police say the city and county are attempting to be proactive. Weve got some discussions with public and private partnerships weve had in place for quite some time and going to continue those and see if we can identify some funding and different strategies to make things a little safer down there. Its poorly lit areas such as this parking lot off of court avenue that worry some the most. It can change a persons experience from fun to being a targeted victim in the hospital. They shouldnt have to worry about how safe it is to walk to their car, there should be security cameras, welllit parking lots, police presence. In the meantime. The onDuty Officers are there and well step up that and hopefully new years eve we will have a plan in place, we always do i just dont want to see another family have to sit in the emergency room and have to go through what we went through. The Polk County Board of supervisors met this morning to discuss court avenue. But apparently safety is a reason for secrecy. None of the members would des moines could have at least one more officer on the payroll next year.

The federal government might want to update its own cybersecurity plan. It follows a report that hackers were able to access a new work dam. And had the ability open the flood gates. Rene marsh has the story. Iranian hackers infiltrated Computer Software that controls the flood gates of this rye, new york dam, just 20 miles outside of new york city. A former u. S. Official familiar revealed the classified details from 2013 first reported by the wall street journal. Paul rosenberg is mayor of the village of rye brook. What it says to me is theyre looking at everything. Was this a dress rehearsal for something larger . It also makes me concerned about the security of our infrastructure that is significantly more critical than the bowman avenue dam. Investigators believe the intruders were just probing to see what they could get into but no damage was done. Hacking of dam controls have long been a Homeland Security concern. In 2013 hackers penetrated a sensitive database of u. S. Dams maintained by the army corps of engineers asked about the breach involving the dam in rye, ny the department of Homeland Security told cnn by email it has no comment on the alleged incident. Obviously its fairly scary to us as a nation to imagine somebody sitting on the other side of the world could hit a keystroke and all of a sudden water could start flooding through a major breach at Computer Company juniper networks. The Company SellsComputer Network equipment and routers to the defense department, justice department, fbi and treasury department. U. S. Officials worried that hackers working for a Foreign Government were able to spy on the encrypted communications of the u. S. Government and private years. Other Critical Infrastructure also constantly under siege. It makes me wonder about what would be potentially next and that makes me concerned.
