Known forRed Hill water crisis litigation

Kristina Archena Baehr (née Scurry, born 1980 or 1981) is an American trial attorney who specializes in bringing class actions on behalf of people who allege they were poisoned by environmental toxins. She has brought several lawsuits representing victims of the Red Hill water crisis at Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam on Oahu.[1]

Early life, education and career

[edit]

Kristina Scurry was born to Pamela M. Scurry and Richardson G. Scurry Jr.; her father worked for an investment firm in Purchase, New York, and co-founded the Bible Literacy Project. She graduated from Princeton University and Yale Law School. At Yale, she authored a law review comment that examined the effect of mandatory minimum sentencing of sex crimes in South African criminal law.[2] She argued that the existing structure favored judicial consideration of mitigating factors and should be replaced with a framework centered on aggravators.[3] In 2007, she married fellow Princeton alumnus Evan Baehr.[4]

Baehr began her career with the Carter Center helping the Liberian Ministry of Justice launch a sex crimes prosecution unit. She was then a clerk for federal district judge Nancy Gertner.[5] The Baehrs moved to Austin, Texas, where they had four children and where Kristina joined McKool Smith as a corporate litigator.[6]

Baehr believes that she and her children were being harmed by indoor "toxic mold", which is considered a myth by experts.[7][8] The Baehrs said they spent $700,000 on home mold remediation.[9][6]

In 2021, the Baehrs, represented by counsel, sued 11 builders and contractors involved in their home's construction. All but one defendant settled prior to trial. In August 2023, a Travis County jury proportionally awarded $3.1 million to the Baehrs from the remaining defendant, an HVAC contractor.[6]

Environmental law career

[edit]

After finding that few Texas attorneys specialized in environmental toxic torts, Baehr in 2021 founded a boutique law firm called Just Well Law to focus on this area of practice.[6]

Red Hill water crisis

[edit]
Main article: Red Hill water crisis

After CNBC featured her in a 2021 segment, Baehr said that she received many calls, including from Hawaii, where military families at Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam claimed serious harms from tap water contaminated by a jet fuel leak.[6] In 2022, Just Well Law and local counsel filed suit in federal court on behalf of military families and civilians who claimed harm from the leak.[10] The number of claimants grew over the next year,[11] reaching 7,500 represented by Just Well Law in three separate cases. The suits were filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act.[12]

Some of the plaintiffs against the Navy in the Red Hill litigation are active-duty service members.[13] Although the Feres doctrine bars most tort claims by active-duty personnel, Baehr has argued that it cannot be used to bar claims by service members for injuries they suffered off duty in their own homes.[14]

A bellwether trial for a limited number of plaintiffs began on April 29, 2024.[1] Media outlets have described Baehr as "lead counsel" for the plaintiffs.[15][16] The U.S. government admitted to liability for negligence at the fuel storage facility and that residents using the water line suffered injury.[1] Baehr described the government's stipulation to liability as "historic".[11] The trial is set to determine the extent of harm experienced by plaintiffs and whether the government failed to warn residents of the military base.[1]

Wendell Kimbrough is an American singer-songwriter, hymnwriter and worship leader. As a church musician, he is known for writing lyrics and music for several psalms adapted for contemporary worship settings. Christianity Today has described Kimbrough as a "case study" in church support for original music, noting that "the church is one of the few settings of organized corporate singing in the US; it may also be a much-needed patron of independent musicians in this new music industry landscape." https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/september-web-only/independent-worship-artists-music-streaming-integrity-wings.html

Hymns and worship music

[edit]

Kimbrough was artist in residence at Church of the Apostles in Fairhope, Alabama, where in addition to leading music during worship services, he had time to write original congregational refrains and responses to be sung alongside psalms during services. https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/september-web-only/independent-worship-artists-music-streaming-integrity-wings.html


As a songwriter, Kimbrough publishes his music independently. Most of his royalties come from Christian Copyright and Licensing International, which licenses copyrighted music to churches for performance during services. https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/september-web-only/independent-worship-artists-music-streaming-integrity-wings.html

You Belong

[edit]

In 2023, Kimbrough released You Belong, a collection of original psalm compositions set to folk, country and gospel tunes and produced by Isaac Wardell. In Rabbit Room, Chris Slater described the album as "kind, deceptively simple, unwavering, and acutely aimed at enriching the lives of the children of God. . . . The gift of cultural chaos is that it can reveal what we really need, and I am learning that I am hungry for songs that are earnest, patiently crafted, communal, and timeless." https://www.rabbitroom.com/post/you-belong-in-god-s-neighborhood-thoughts-on-the-newest-wendell-kimbrough-hymns

Josh Balogh said You Belong "helps capture the crackling organic energy that a live performance would bring. It's in these upbeat moments that Wendell and his vocals shine best." However, despite being "well done," Balogh noted, "only half of it is arresting enough to keep me coming back. . . . [T]he album is largely missing the simplicity and immediate 'hook' that congregations need." https://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/indiemusic/YouBelong.asp

Reception

[edit]

Slater has written that Kimbrough "prioritizes congregational singing over dramatic compositions. The melodies are easy to pick up on the first go-round, while still having enough nuance to stand out and stick well into the workweek. . . . There is nothing groundbreaking about his music because it is more concerned with gently guiding us down well-worn ancient paths."

In Worship Leader, Ron Rienstra compared Kimbrough's music positively to "much of the popular worship music I hear," noting that "Wendell writes singable, memorable melodies that have shape and character rather than a loosely connected series of musical motifs. . . . That makes it both more accessible to the human heart, and to the worship band that doesn’t have eight musicians, four techs and a fog machine."

Michael Gerald Ford (born March 14, 1950) is the oldest of four children of U.S. President Gerald R. Ford and Betty Ford. Prior to his birth, Ford's mother wanted to name him after his father. However, Ford's father had always disliked being called "Junior" and he refused to "inflict the nickname on any son." The Fords settled on his name as a compromise.[1]

Ford is an alumnus of Wake Forest University (BA, 1972) and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (MDiv, 1977). He was the president of Sigma Chi while a student at WFU. President Ford, his father, spoke at Ford's commencement when he was still in Congress. Ford retired from Wake Forest University in June 2017 after 36 years as student life administrator and campus leader.[2] The Office of Student Development, where he served, oversees all student organizations. He is now a minister.

Since December 2024, he has been the third diocesan bishop of Mahajanga, Madagascar, in the Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean. Prior to his election as bishop, he was the founding rector of the Anglican Church of the Good Samaritan in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Early life, education and ordained ministry

[edit]

Critch is a native of Newfoundland.[1] After receiving music degrees from Memorial University of Newfoundland[2] and an M.Div. at Nashotah House, he was ordained in the Anglican Church of Canada's Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] He later received a D.Min. from Nashotah House.[2]

During the Anglican realignment in 2008, while serving as rector of St. Mary the Virgin in St. John's, Critch was removed as rector by then-Bishop Cyrus Pitman. Critch then joined the Anglican Network in Canada and planted Good Samaritan.[3] Good Samaritan worshiped at 27 different locations during its first 12 years, but in 2020, the church received an anonymous CAD2.5 million gift that allowed it to purchase the former Anglican Church of St. Michael and All Angels on 10 St. Clare Road in St. John's.[4] The church, built in 1959, had been deconsecrated and used as a fitness center.[5] The church is also the home of Packer College, ANiC's diocesan seminary, where Critch was founding chaplain.[6][7] Critch was also a regional archdeacon for ANiC.[2]

Episcopacy

[edit]

In August 2024, Critch was elected as the third missionary bishop of Mahajanga. He was encouraged to discern a call to Mahajanga by Bill Atwood, the ACNA's dean of international affairs, during the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches' Cairo assembly in June 2024. Critch will continue to live part-time in St. John's, serving at Good Samaritan and fundraising in North America for the Diocese of Mahajanga.[1] According to ANiC Bishop Dan Gifford, part of Critch's role will be to prepare the diocese―which has just 12 priests―to elect indigenous leadership in the future.[8]

Archbishop James Wong consecrated Critch as bishop at the cathedral in Mahajanga on 15 December 2024. Critch was the first priest from the Anglican Church in North America, a GAFCON and Global South province not recognized by the Archbishop of Canterbury, to be made a diocesan bishop in an Anglican Communion province.[1]

Personal life

[edit]

Critch is married to Sarah; they have one son and are foster parents.[2]
