[caption id="attachment_90247" align="aligncenter" width="662"] RISD districts[/caption] Election Day for Richardson ISD’s school board is Nov. 5, and forums have been scheduled to enable voters to meet their candidates. The newly created District 5 surrounding Lake Highlands High School has just one candidate, incumbent Karen Clardy, but two other districts will host forums this month. In District 4 containing historic Hamilton Park, four African-American women are on the ballot – Regina Harris, Patricia Price Hicks, Taler Jefferson and Sakennia Reed. One forum, to be held Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. at Hamilton Park United Methodist Church, will be hosted by the North Dallas Suburban Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and by Brewer Attorneys & Counselors. Bill Brewer represented former RISD trustee David Tyson in the lawsuit which led to the new system of 5 single member districts and 2 trustees elected at-large . Another District 4 forum, sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Richardson (LWVR), will be held Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at Hamilton Park Pacesetter Magnet. In District 2, which surrounds Berkner High School, incumbent Eron Linn faces newcomer Vanessa Pacheco. The LWVR will host a forum Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Berkner Lecture Hall. Early voting begins Oct. 21.

Q: Police: Attacker bit off man's pinky at DART station

[caption id="attachment_88667" align="aligncenter" width="326"] Hubert Warren, Dallas County Sheriff's Office[/caption] One man bit off the pinky finger of another man at DART’s Forest Lane Station Sunday, the Dallas Morning News reports. Hubert Warren, 50, has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. DART officers were notified about 10 a.m. Sunday that a man had been bitten and attacked with a metal pipe at the DART station at Forest Lane near 75. The victim pointed out where his assailant had fled, and an officer detained Warren. Warren admitted fighting with the other man and biting off the tip of his finger, which was found by officers “unattached from his person,” according to the arrest warrant affidavit. Warren remained in the Dallas County jail Tuesday, with bail set at $5,000. He is also accused of violating his probation for a 2015 harassment case in which he spat on a DART officer.
