A cordless microphone, a clock and a bottle of wine were taken during a burglary at a Southwest Side church.
Police received a call about 8:10 am Sunday that someone broke a window and burglarized St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church, 8550 S. Kedvale Ave., police said.
The Rev. Peter Berg said nothing was damaged in the church’s sanctuary.

Church trustee Lawrence Ruger said the suspects broke into the church through a window located behind a bush in front of the church.
Other windows were broken in the organ loft and the minister’s office but no one was injured,...
DOSWELL, Va. –
Petersburg firefighter Kevin Roberts slowly rappelled down the roller coasters support structure toward the mannequin hanging from a safety harness about 20 feet above the still pond.
Using a mechanical system, Roberts and other members of the Crater Regional Technical Rescue Team pulled the 185-pound dummy to safety.
The team, which consists of fire and emergency medical service personnel from the cities of Hopewell, Petersburg and Colonial Heights; Prince George County; and Fort Lee, then lowered Roberts and the victim along a trackline to shore.
From start to finish, it took them less than two hours Monday morning to complete the first of eight...

The team was in the water at North West River Park on Indian Creek Road Monday.

Officer Schock was with the Chesapeake Police Department for 16 years and with the Dive Team for eight.
The Chesapeake Chief of Police says an investigation revealed two equipment failures contributed to Schocks death. An inflatable vest that...

Issue of women’s work consumes campaign
Sometimes you almost feel bad for Mitt Romney. Even when his campaign stumbles onto a winning talking point, something he said in the past inevitably comes back to bite him in the ass. After Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen said this week that Mitt’s wife, Ann Romney, had “never worked a day in her life,” the Republican presidential frontrunner spun the comment into an attack on stay-at-home moms that gave him a few days of political traction. But then his past reared its ugly head — a fate that befalls all tragic heroes — as numerous sources pointed out that just a few months ago, Romney stated that mothers...
