Shortly before 2 p.m. today City crews repaired a southside water main break and restored service in the Wilshire area.

Residents who experienced disrupted service are advised to turn a faucet on in their home or business for a few minutes to allow pipes to clear.

At least eight people have been exposed to rabies after a feral kitten that was being fed by several Wilmington Park residents tested positive for the disease.

Those exposed have been advised to contact their health care providers, said Sally Silbermann, spokeswoman for the Coastal Health District.

It’s possible the kitten got rabies after being exposed to a potentially rabid raccoon, she said.

Savannah-Chatham Animal Control is attempting to capture the raccoon along with as many as six other cats in the same Wilmington Island neighborhood that may have been exposed to the rabid kitten, Silbermann said.

The health department and animal control want to remind residents to always avoid contact with wild or stray animals, watch for unusual behavior in pets and wildlife and get pets vaccinated against rabies.

Animal Control officers are advising anyone in the area that had such contact with the kitten, a raccoon or other animal, to contact them.

Rabies is a potentially deadly virus that is primarily spread by infected animals. Symptoms of rabies in animals include a change in behavior, biting, aggression, showing no fear of natural enemies (such as humans), foaming at the mouth, and paralysis.

The Chatham County Health Department Environmental Health Division offers these tips to protect you and your family from rabies:

• Avoid contact with animals you don’t know.

• Make sure your pets receive the proper immunizations. Dogs and cats should get rabies vaccines by four months of age, followed by a booster shot one year later, and another one every one to three years as prescribed by your veterinarian.

• Do not handle, feed, or unintentionally attract wild animals with open garbage cans or by leaving pet food out at night.

• Never adopt wild animals or bring them into your home. Do not try to nurse sick animals to health. Call animal control or a properly licensed animal rescue agency for assistance.

• Teach children to never handle unfamiliar animals, wild or domestic, even if they appear friendly. “Love your own, leave other animals alone” is a good principle for children to learn.

If an animal ever bites you, seek medical care immediately and contact Savannah-Chatham Animal Control at 912-525-2408 and the Chatham County Health Department Environmental Health Division at 912-356-2160.

Known for his "American Idol" season 11 victory (that started in Savannah after he auditioned here for judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler) and smash hit single "Home," Phillip Phillips is set to headline the 4th annual Rock 'n' Roll Savannah Running Festival at Forsyth Park on Nov. 8. The Georgia native will perform at the finish line concert with more than 20,000 marathon and half-marathon participants.

New in 2014, Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah will feature a second day of running over marathon weekend, with 5K and 1-mile races taking place on Sunday. Participants who finish the marathon or half-marathon Saturday and run either Sunday’s 5k or 1-mile events will earn a special Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Festival challenge medal to commemorate their accomplishment.

All events will include a post-race beer garden, entertainment on course and finish line celebration party, which will be headlined by Phillips on Saturday.

“We are thrilled to have Phillip Phillips, one of the hottest musical acts on the charts, headlining Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah this year,” said Malain McCormick, VP for event organizer Competitor Group.

“This year’s event will feature two-days of running with a variety of distances and events for the many participants and their entourages who return year after year to experience everything Savannah has to offer.”

Raised in Leesburg, Georgia, Phillips took up guitar at 14. After graduating high school, Phillips began studying industrial systems technology at Albany Technical College in Georgia and continued playing music. With encouragement from his family and friends, Phillips took a break from working in his family’s pawn shop and auditioned for American Idol in summer 2011—and soon found himself tearing through full-throated performances on the Idol stage.

One of the biggest singles of 2012, the quadruple-platinum "Home" was the lead single from Phillips’ debut album “The World from the Side of the Moon” that also featured the hit song Gone, Gone, Gone. Phillips released his new album “Behind the Light” in March featuring the lead single “Raging Fire,” which debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 when it was released.

The fourth annual Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah Running Festival will take place November 6-9, 2014. Marathon weekend festivities kick off Thursday with a two-day Health & Fitness Expo at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center. The expo is free and open to the public, featuring over 80 exhibitors showcasing the latest in running gear and nutritional products.

Saturday’s races start in downtown Savannah at City Hall. Open to runners and walkers from novice to professional, live bands entertain marathon and half-marathon participants along each mile of the scenic course that winds through Savannah’s historic neighborhoods and finishes at Forsyth Park. Adding to the excitement, neighborhoods and cheer squads line the route motivating athletes all the way to the finish line.

Marathon weekend concludes on Sunday, November 9 with 5k and 1-mile races. For more information or to register for the event, visitRunRocknRoll.com or follow us on Twitter @RunRocknRoll.

The Atlanta Falcons announced Wednesday night that they have traded linebacker Akeem Dent to the Houston Texans in exchange for quarterback T.J. Yates. The club has also agreed to terms with free agent linebacker Tim Dobbins.

Yates (6-foot-4, 217 pounds) was originally selected by the Texans in the fifth round (152nd overall) of the 2011 NFL draft. He completed 101 of 166 passes (60.8 percent) for 1,100 yards with three touchdowns, six interceptions, and a 71.4 quarterback rating in 13 career games with Houston.

Yates played in six games as a rookie in 2011, four games in 2012 and saw action in three games in 2013 as a backup.

The Marietta native threw for 9,377 yards and 58 touchdowns while setting 37 school records during his career at the University of North Carolina. He attended Pope High School in Marietta, where he earned first-team all-region and first-team all-area honors after completing 160 of 289 passes (57 percent) for 2,305 yards, and 17 touchdowns as a senior.

Dobbins (6-1, 234) was selected by the San Diego Chargers in the fifth round (151st overall) of the 2006 draft. He has played in 110 games with 22 starts while totaling 253 tackles (195 solo) with three interceptions, two sacks, and 12 passes defensed. Last season, Dobbins played in three games as a reserve linebacker. In three seasons with the Texans (2011-13), he played in 32 games with six starts and totaled 55 tackles with one interception and four passes defensed.

Dobbins spent his first four seasons in San Diego where he played in 62 games with 10 starts. In 2008, he registered career highs with 78 tackles (42 solo), one interception, and three forced fumbles. Dobbins spent the 2010 season with the Miami Dolphins, where he played in 16 games with six starts and finished the year with 43 total tackles. The Nashville, Tenn., native earned All-Big 12 honors during his senior season at Iowa State.

Dent (6-1, 239) was selected by the Falcons in the third round (91st overall) in the 2011 draft. He played in 47 games with 20 starts totaling 130 tackles (87 solo), with 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and three passes defensed in three seasons in Atlanta.

As much as $3,500 cash is available anonymously for information that leads to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for Brown’s death.

About 11:29 p.m. Dec. 7, Brown was killed as he and two other men left a party on the 1200 block of East 39th Street.

A light gray or light blue newer model four-door Chevrolet truck with tinted windows pulled up to the victims and started shooting.

Brown died while being transported to a hospital, and the other two men were treated for injuries.

CrimeStoppers and Savannah-Chatham police are still seeking information that will lead to the arrest of Brown’s assailant.

Animal Control officers from the Savannah-Chatham police department have secured five cats and are looking for more and additional victims after a kitten from a neighborhood colony tested positive for rabies this week.

Nine potential victims have been identified as having contact with the infected kitten or other cats in the small feral colony that frequented yards near the 200 block of Winchester Drive on east Wilmington Island, said Julian Miller, police spokesman.

The cats were fed by neighbors but they were not provided medical treatment or vaccinations, said Miller and health department spokeswoman Sally Silbermann. Now, Animal Control officers are concerned for the safety of residents in the area and even their pets that might have been vaccinated.

Four additional cats were recovered by Animal Control Thursday morning but others were seen in the neighborhood, Miller said. Traps have been set for other cats and a raccoon that may have had exposure to the infected kitten last week.

“It’s a good idea to keep away from these cats as we get this colony removed,” said metro police Lt. Cary Hill, who commands Animal Control. “We don’t know how they might be affected if they come into contact with these cats or even other animals. Residents in the area should not handle or feed stray or unknown animals or wildlife. And anyone who has come into contact with the cats and/or wildlife in the area should contact us.”

People can be infected with rabies by contact with an infected animal ranging from a slight scratch to a bite. Anyone with concerns that they may have been exposed

or who sees one of the homeless cats should call Animal Control at 912-351-6750 or Chatham County Environmental Health Division 912-356-2160.

Three men were arrested and an assortment of drugs, drug paraphernalia and weapons were seized after police stopped a vehicle moving through an intensive patrol operation Wednesday afternoon in east Savannah.

One of them, said Savannah-Chatham police spokesman Julian Miller, was bitten by a K-9.

John James Monahan Jr., 20, of Dallas, Ga., was charged with possession of drug-related objects for use and having illegally tinted windows on his car. Kenneth Michael Robinson, 23, of the 1100 block of East 53rd Street, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Both of them and Napoleon Ramon Graham, 24, of an Eagle Street address, were charged with obstruction. Graham was transported to Memorial University Medical Center for a bite from a K-9 officer stemming from his resistance, Miller said.

The three men and a female were in a car with illegal degrees of window tinting driving slowly through a heavy patrol of the Edgemore-Sackville neighborhoods about 4 p.m., Miller said. Crime Suppression Unit officers on bicycles and in cars pursued it to Waters and 66th Street where they performed a traffic stop.

Each of the men initially refused to cooperate with police, Miller said.

The investigation into the assortment of drugs and weapons found in the vehicle is continuing, Miller said.

A Bluffton, S.C., tow truck driver was sentenced to 26 years in prison on Thursday for killing a man during a towing dispute on Christmas Eve 2010.

At the conclusion of a four-day trial, jurors convicted 30-year-old Preston Oates of manslaughter and possession of a firearm during commission of a violent crime for the shooting death of 34-year-old Carlos Olivera, said Daniel Brownstein, spokesman for the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office.

At about 8:30 p.m. on December 24, 2010, Oates placed a boot on Olivera’s minivan on Live Oak Walk in the Edgefield subdivision in Bluffton. Olivera and his wife and children were visiting his brother, Nelson, and his family.

Both Carlos Olivera and Nelson Olivera pleaded and argued with Oates to remove the boot and let them move the van. During a confrontation, Carlos, showed that he was carrying a handgun, but put it away after his older brother told him that it wasn’t necessary, according to Nelson Olivera’s testimony.

While Nelson Olivera attempted to remove the boot, Oates shot Carlos Olivera six times, Brownstein said. One shot grazed him from the side, but the remaining five were to the back, including one shot in the center of his back that the pathologist testified could only have occurred if Olivera had been lying on the pavement.

Several eyewitnesses and family members testified that Oates fired as Olivera walked away from the confrontation and that Oates continued to fire in a downward angle as Olivera landed on the pavement face-down.

“This was senseless hyper-vigilance,” said deputy solicitor Sean Thornton, who prosecuted the case. “Preston Oates is a dangerous person who deserves every day of the 26-year sentence. Although it took a long time to get here, I am glad we were able to deliver justice and some measure of closure to the family.”

It took jurors approximately three hours to render a verdict. Judge Brooks Goldsmith handed down the sentence. By law, Oates must serve at least 85 percent before being eligible for early release.

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The Savannah Sand Gnats began the second half of the Class A South Atlantic League season with a 6-3 victory over the Greenville Drive before 5,781 at Fluor Field at the West End.

With the promotion earlier Thursday of six players who participated in the league’s all-star game Tuesday, Savannah went with a lineup of veteran Sand Gnats plus the addition of shortstop Yeixon Ruiz.

The pitchers were all familiar, as Robert Gsellman got the start and improved to 5-3 (2.95 ERA) by going 5 2/3 innings and allowing four hits and three runs (all earned) with one walk and five strikeouts.

Four pitchers combined for Savannah and totaled one walk and nine strikeouts. All-Star reliever Akeel Morris (0.28 ERA) earned his third save.

Designated hitter Jon Leroux went 2 for 4 including an RBI-triple in the sixth inning that scored Dominic Smith (double). The Gnats took a 6-1 lead in the three-run inning, as Jorge Rivero walked, Stefan Sabol doubled home Leroux and Rivero scored on Pete Ruiz’s wild pitch.

Notes

Four former Sand Gnats made their debuts Thursday night for the St. Lucie Mets of the Advanced Class A Florida State League. In the Mets’ 7-4 home win over Fort Myers, the first three Mets in the batting order were shortstop Gavin Cecchini (1 for 4, double, sacrifice fly, two RBIs, one run scored), third baseman Jeff McNeil (0 for 4, walk, one run) and second baseman L.J. Mazzilli (1 for 4, homer, three RBIs, one run scored). Closer Robert Coles earned his first save (1 1/3 innings, one hit, one walk, two strikeouts, no runs).
