A fire was also set at a ballot box in Portland, Oregon where three ballots were damaged.

"The Portland Police Bureau reported that officers and firefighters responded to a fire in one ballot drop box at about 3:30 a.m. and determined an incendiary device had been placed inside. Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott said a fire suppressant inside the drop box protected nearly all the ballots; only three were damaged, and his office planned to contact those voters to help them obtain replacement ballots.

A few hours later, across the Columbia River in Vancouver, television crews captured footage of smoke pouring out of a ballot box at a transit center. Vancouver is the biggest city in Washington's 3rd Congressional District, the site of what is expected to be one of the closest U.S. House races in the country, between first-term Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican challenger Joe Kent."

The All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Parish of Bellis, part of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada under the Patriarchate of Constantinople, was reduced to a charred foundation and pile of ash after suspects used an accelerant to torch the historic building, according to the RCMP and fire investigation company Firestorm, reports Global Storm. The arson occurred during a series of crimes that began with vehicle thefts in the area. Smoky Lake RCMP received reports of one attempted and one successful vehicle theft on Sunday morning. When officers attempted to stop the suspects’ vehicles, the perpetrators fled, leading to a chase involving spike belts, a ramming attack on a police car, and the deployment of bear spray. Three suspects were eventually arrested with the help of police dogs and drones, while at least one more remains at large. [full article]

Please pray for those affected by this awful arson attack, as well as that all perpetrators might be brought to justice.

I can't find a fundraiser for the Church itself, but the Diocese does have a general donation link where they will no doubt use the funds to help support this community:

Donate - Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada (UOCC)

Enid approaches Wednesday nervously

Wednesday: Enid it is clear you need to tell me something, do it before you give yourself a panic attack

Enid: Okay-okay there's something I need to tell you if we're going to get married and if it makes you see me differently and you don't want to talk to me anymore I completely understand in fact I'll just go pack my things

Wednesday: Just tell me

Enid: *deep breath* I killed a bunch of people

Wednesday: *raises an eyebrow* . . . When you were stuck in your alpha form?

Enid: No this happened when I was a lot younger, I didn't really kill them not on purpose but it was my fault.

Enid is working herself up into a frantic state so Wednesday gets up and sits down with hee on a couch

Wednesday: I do not believe you possesses a murderous bone in your body tell me what happened

Enid: *deep breath calming slightly* Before my family moved to San Francisco we lived in Oakland, I was the reason we gad to leave

Wednesday: what could you have done as a child that warranted such

Enid: It was, one day I stole some matches from one of my brothers, I was playing with them I was eight I swear didn't mean to *choking up*

Wednesday: shhhh I believe you, if you need to stop

Enid: No I want you to know who your marrying, I was in an alley playing with matches and someone had left out some bucket of grease and the building caught fire, there was an illegal rental situation and

Wednesday: *freezes doing calculations* You are the Oakland Child Arsonist, over thirty people died

Enid: Of course you know the stupid name

Wednesday: A camera caught grainy footage of you running away, it was on the news I had ever seen adults express such vitrial hatred and fear towards a child

Enid: I was so scared, that's why my parents moved us, I think it's why it took so long for me to let my wolf out

Wednesday: *not quite hearing her* I can't believe it's you

Enid: If-if this changes things between us I understand

Wednesday: *grabs her* At the time I told myself if I we're ever forced to marry I'd find you because if we got married you would be able scare anyone that tried to change me

Enid: *blinks* And how do you feel seeing the real thing?

Wednesday looks at Enid in her pink sweater with added black trim around the hands, puppy slippers, and a few tears on her face

Wednesday: I believe I'm sufficiently scary for the both of us *wipes away remaining tears and kisses her*
