LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) A serial arsonist is accused of targeting dozens of doorsteps across Louisville.

The latest fires happen March 20 along Weather Way and Silver Springs Drive around 1 a.m. where investigators say the door wreaths were intentionally set on fire.

A charred front door is an all too familiar sight for neighbors in Hikes Point.

"Typically they are spaced anywhere from 10 to 30 days apart," said Major Henry Ott with Louisville Metro Arson.

Since December of 2012 arson investigators have been trying to catch the person responsible for now setting a total of 40 fires on people's front porches.

"We've had descriptions of females, we've had possible descriptions of males, but at this point we are not eliminating anything," said Ott.

It's happening between Six Mile Lane and Hikes Lane and Taylorsville Road and Hurtsbourne Parkway.

Helen Klapheke walked to check out the damage to her neighbor's house on Weather Way.

"It's much worse than what we had in our home," said Klapheke.

9:18pm, Fri 21 Mar 2014 Russia agrees for security monitors to go to Ukraine - last updated Sat 22 Mar 2014 Fracking's supporters believe as America becomes the world's biggest producer of natural gas it can rival and even supplant Russia. Photo: Reuters/Pablo Martinez Monsivais

The Stars and Stripes flutter over the shaded porches of clapper board homes.

Wilkes-Barre in Pennsylvania could be Anytown, USA. It is by any measure an unlikely front line in what some see as a looming Cold War.

They call the hills round here the Endless Mountains.

No one knows how big are the supplies of shale gas hidden beneath, but supporters of the controversial fracking industry here believe they could be America's most potent weapon in the stand-off with Russia.

The theory is seductive. As America becomes the world's biggest producer of natural gas it can rival and even supplant Russia.

Moscow derives huge income and influence from the energy on which Europe is dependent.

But what is a source of Russian power could also be a source of Russian vulnerability.

Some even draw a lesson from history.

Just as the nuclear arms race in the 1980s bankrupted the old Soviet Union, so America's dash for gas could eventually cripple Putin's Russia.

Q: My husband and I have been saving for years, and now were in the planning stages for our master-bathroom remodeling job.

Our decorator has suggested glass vanity sink tops for a dramatic look.

But I want to get a plumbers opinion on using glass for the countertops and sink. What do you think about using glass?

Anna

A: Glass vanity tops can make a unique design statement in your bathroom because of the wide variety of color and texture choices. Glass also has another advantage: Because its translucent, special backlighting can be used under the vanity top to create a very dramatic effect.

As far as durability goes, thick and heavy glass slabs are usually used to create the sink and top.

The final product is called a slumped glass bathroom sink because the sink and vanity top are one seamless piece. You can get glass vanity tops with faucet holes installed, or use wall-mounted faucets to eliminate having any faucet holes on the sink top.

Glass is considered a higher-end material for vanity tops, so get prices up front to help with your final decision.

BOTKINBURG On the morning after an EF2-rated tornado tore through his church last April, reducing much of the structure to rubble, Ester Bass stood by the devastation and vowed to build back.

Less than a year later, the 64-year-old Bass is proving to be a man of his word.

The Botkinburg Foursquare Church, where Bass has served as pastor for about 17 years, will hold a grand opening of its new facility April 6, just four days short of the anniversary of the 2013 tornado that destroyed its previous incarnation.

Bass isn't quite sure yet what words he'll deliver to the congregation that Sunday morning. But he expects it will incorporate themes he's experienced over the past year about finding the strength to overcome a terrible loss.

"It's all by the grace of God that we're here and where we're at now," Bass said. "If he can do that with how he's worked, then he can do anything in our lives. That's the focus."

The tornado touched down in the small Van Buren County town north of Clinton the afternoon of April 10, 2013, destroying much of the church, taking the roof off an adjacent home, obliterating a nearby residence and damaging about 30 other structures. Four injuries were reported, but none was life-threatening.

That was a Wednesday and the church still held service the following Sunday. A large tent was set up on the grounds of the damaged building, which was only 10 years old, and a crowd of 300 people came out to hear Bass' sermon. The congregation usually draws about 100.

"That was just a way of showing them we're here to stay," Bass recalled in a recent interview. "We're going to come through this."

It took a little while to get the wheels in motion, but a few weeks later, demolition and removal of the damaged church began. Before long, the structure was reduced to the concrete slab it had been built upon and rebuilding could commence.

The congregation, meanwhile, didn't miss a Sunday. First, they moved to a gymnasium at a nearby church, but it didn't have air conditioning. Then, they moved to a church in nearby Dennard. The space was small, but it was enough for Bass to keep his congregation going in a tumultuous time.

Man searches for missing drone in Fayette County

HOUSTON -

Harris County sheriff's investigators are searching for the thieves who broke into a storage container behind a local church and got away with thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

It happened at around noon Monday at the Church of Champions on Cutten Road in northwest Harris County.

Church surveillance video shows two men getting out of a Ford F-150 pickup after backing up to the steel cargo container. Workers found the locks had been cut and more than $4,000 in equipment, including a welder and generator, were missing.

The surveillance video shows men loading up the equipment and driving off.

"I hope people return the stuff. If not, our church, we're a strong church," said church member Tremayne Dortch.

Volunteers were using the tools to build an obstacle course beside the church.

The equipment belongs to Sam Sann. Sann tried out for "Ninja Warrior," owns his own gym and wants to share his passion for fitness. He is building an obstacle course beside the church for the community.

"I guess there are a lot of desperate people out there," said Sann, of IronSport. "Just get a real job instead of going around stealing people's stuff."

If you recognize the men in the surveillance video, please call the Harris County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. You can remain anonymous and could earn a cash reward.

As Ann Northrup stood in the middle of an empty, blighted, pothole-filled lot in Spring Garden nestled between a church and school, Ann Corcoran, who lives nearby, shouted at her from a sidewalk.

"Stop spreading lies, Ann!" said Corcoran, her miniature schnauzer, Clooney, in tow.

For the next few minutes, the two went at each other over the future of the decades-vacant lot on the 1800 block of Green Street. The clash was another skirmish in a long-simmering squabble that has pitted residents against each other over the future of the property.

On one side is the Spring Garden Community Development Corp., which wants to buy the quarter-acre parcel from the Philadelphia School District and turn it into an off-leash dog park. The CDC has a long list of allies in its corner, including City Council President Darrell L. Clarke and several hundred area residents.

On the other side is a group led by Northrup that opposes the park.

They and members of the Enon Baptist Church and parents with children at Laura Wheeler Waring School say a dog park between a church and a school poses serious safety and hygiene concerns.

"It's not only a bad idea, it's disrespectful to the school and church," said Northrup, 65, a 30-year Spring Garden resident.

The fight has been going on for months, and there is no clear end in sight.
