• City: JCPD data shows crime decline since last call change (wjhl.com) — Johnson City officials say police data show significant drops in late-night aggravated assaults, DUIs and other offenses since last call for alcohol sales was moved from 3 a.m. to 1 a.m. City leaders argue the change has improved safety, while downtown bar Capone's is suing, claiming the ordinance and enabling state law unfairly harm Johnson City bars.
• ETSU researcher sheds light on extinct marine mammal's ancient journey (elizabethton.com) — From her base in Johnson City at ETSU, Dr. Kumiko Matsui has reinterpreted a decades-old fossil from northern Japan as belonging to a juvenile Desmostylus, an extinct marine mammal. By pairing the bone with rediscovered archival records, her team pieced together how this unusual herbivore grew, migrated across the North Pacific, and ultimately vanished millions of years ago.
