As Florida drifts closer to the Arctic Circle, let's see what's happening in other local news:

  • The man who was shot and killed by a Pembroke Pines police officer Monday afternoon was Clifford Sheldon McLean, a 24-year-old North Miami man suspected in the torching death of his mother earlier that day. [Miami Herald]
  • Derek Black, a white nationalist leader from West Palm Beach, is making another bid to join the Palm Beach County Republican Party, a year after his much publicized victory in that election was disqualified on a technicality -- his failure to sign a loyalty pledge before a deadline. [Palm Beach Post]
