The group buying a long-delayed Lawrence County racetrack and casino project from Indianapolis-based owners consists of local behind-the-scenes movers in politics, horse racing and development. According to documents filed with the state Harness Racing Commission, the buyers are: Charles Knoll Jr., a lawyer and son of the late Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll; Christine Biros, a McKeesport real estate developer; Downtown restaurant owner and former lobbyist Nicholas Geanopulos of Mt. Lebanon; Daryl Price, former owner of a Washington County horse stable; and Ted Arneault, former CEO of a West Virginia casino company who now lives in Florida.
The developer of a proposed Lawrence County racetrack and casino told state and local officials that it secured the necessary $150 million in financing by its Monday deadline. American Harness Tracks, a coalition of stakeholders with local ties that bought the Valley View Downs project in Mahoning Township from a bankrupt Indianapolis-based casino company, still must get approval for its financing project from the state Harness Racing Commission. After that, it has to be approved for the last state casino license earmarked for a harness racing track.
The state Superior Court ordered the trial for a 14-year-old Lawrence County boy accused of killing his father's pregnant fiancee to wait while the court considers arguments from the Tribune-Review and two other newspapers to open the proceedings to the public. Jordan Brown was 11 years old when he was charged as an adult with the February 2009 slaying of Kenzie Houk, 26, and her unborn child. State police said Brown shot Houk in the back of the head as she lay in bed in the family's New Beaver home then got on a bus and headed to school.
The Tribune-Review said on Friday that it will challenge a Lawrence County judge's decision to close this month's juvenile court trial for a boy who was 11 years old when police say he shot and killed his father's pregnant fiancee. Common Pleas Judge John Hodge issued an order barring the public from Jordan Brown's trial, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 27.

The tree-lined road in front of Eugene and Peggy Johnson's house in rural Lawrence County is quiet. A little too quiet for them.
