## Resource

A tragic carnival ride accident in Butte claims the life of 13-year-old Clayton Phillips, sparking a legal storm as both the ride operator and manufacturer gain access to all investigative files — including medical records and videos — under a court ruling prioritizing public transparency. Though no criminal charges are expected, the sheriff’s probe continues, and the faulty Yo-Yo ride has been removed after safety concerns were raised just days before the fall. Clayton, remembered for his joyful spirit and six years with the Orphan Girl Theatre, will be honored at a July 17 memorial, with a scholarship fund established in his name. Civil lawsuits loom, and Butte-Silver Bow County may soon face scrutiny as the legal battle begins. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
