 • As deadlines loom for the dismantling of several riverfront homeless camps, the Rev. Larry Rice jumped into the fray again, saying the closures will only lead to more camps.

"Even if the city comes and places these people (in housing) tomorrow night, there is going to be more," Rice said Wednesday at a press conference held at his New Life Evangelistic Center on Locust Street.
Rice, a longtime and outspoken advocate for the homeless, has also scheduled a Friday march on City Hall to renew his demand for the city to designate a piece of land where homeless people can live outdoors.
