Second, instead of placing your charcoal in the middle of the grill, put it to one side.

Summer barbeques are a fun way to celebrate many different occasions. However, if proper safety measures are not followed then that fun day of grilling can come to a quick end.

LIBERTY — Leonard Walls isn’t accused of a crime but he was on trial much of Tuesday morning in Casey Circuit Court.   Defense attorney Mark Stanziano spent nearly two hours cross examining Walls, trying to paint a portrait for jurors of a man tortured, unstable and desperate enough to drink antifreeze in hopes of regaining his granddaughter’s waning affections.   Stanziano did not question Walls aggressively or score any major “gotcha” moments, but he did press him steadily, jumping from topic to topic — sometimes very personal ones — until Walls finally seemed weary and confused.
