Youth Coach in NY Accused of Stalking Rival

YAPHANK, N.Y. (AP) -- A youth baseball coach from Long Island, N.Y., arrested on charges of stalking his rival's family and sending threatening text messages, has been arraigned and released without bail.
   The 45-year-old Robert Sanfilippo, who manages a team of 10- and 11-year-old boys, was arrested during a game in Yaphank on Friday. Police said he was arraigned Saturday. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney.
   Police say Sanfilippo got into a dispute with another coach, then later bought an untraceable phone and started sending text messages threatening to harm the coach, his son and his wife.
   The other coach, John Reardon, told Newsday that the texts included pictures of his family and one that said the sender was going to pick up Reardon's 10-year-old son at his bus stop.

May 23, 2013 15:40 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Friends and family are attending funeral services for a 9-year-old girl killed by Monday's tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb.

Thursday's funeral for Antonia Candelaria was the first since the storm that killed 24 people. Ten of the victims were children.

Relatives and friends huddling under umbrellas amid a downpour hurried into a chapel where mournful country songs played. The front of the chapel was filled with photos of a smiling Antonia.

Candelaria was one of seven children who perished when the tornado flattened an elementary school in the city of Moore.

A family photo released by her mother shows the girl beaming with a big smile and wearing a white sun hat.

Authorities say the tornado caused $2 billion in damage and destroyed or damaged up to 13,000 homes.
