The George Washington Parkway has fully reopened to traffic Saturday after disruptive closures caused by a large sinkhole that compromised the road Friday morning.
The George Washington Memorial Parkway has fully reopened to traffic Saturday after disruptive closures caused by a large sinkhole that compromised the road Friday morning.
“We worked through the night to address drainage issues and fill in a large sinkhole that was 10-foot deep, 12-foot wide and 30-foot long,” Jonathan Shafer of the National Park Service said.
For about four hours Friday morning, a portion of the Parkway was closed in both directions between Virginia Route 123 and the Beltway near the American Legion Bridge. The sinkhole was discovered before 6 a.m. in the northbound lanes near Dead Run. After assessments determined the southbound lanes were safe, traffic re...
Shafer said road repairs wrapped up sooner than expected after a damaged stormwater drainage pipe was replaced, the hole filled in and more than 350-square-feet of new asphalt laid down in the area.
The National Park Service will monitor the repaired area for settling and fix the damaged median in coming weeks. Drivers should expect single lane, overnight closures then, for that work.
A young boy and his mum who got into trouble in the sea off Bexhill beach were rescued by lifeguards on Monday (July 9).
The RNLI said the young boy was struggling beyond the flagged swimming area with his mum trying to keep him afloat.
Two lifeguards swiftly made it to the pair and were able to bring them both safely back to the shore, the RNLI said.
Dominic Richard, East Sussex lifeguard supervisor for the RNLI added: "With the hot weather set to continue and school holidays in full swing, many beach visitors are taking to the sea to cool off. The red and yellow flags show the safest areas to swim on each beach and we’d advise that swimmers stay in this area so th...
"We want everyone to have a great summer on our beaches and we’re here to help you do that – always respect the water so we can make sure you head home safely at the end of the day."
The incident came just days after Bexhill's brand new lifeguard tower opened for the first time over the weekend.

You might think the largest charitable organization in the United States is a billionaire’s foundation or a brand-name charity. The truth is, it’s a bank.
In 2016, a division of Fidelity Investments with more than $16 billion in assets became the largest charity in the United States, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, thanks to a financial tool that has come to dominate giving in America over the past decade: donor-advised funds.
“They’re a fast-growing philanthropic vehicle for the Jewish community — for philanthropy in general in the country, but especially for the Jewish community,” said Andres Spokoiny, president and CEO of the Jewish Funders Network, a national consortium of Jewish community donors.
Donor-advised funds, or DAFs, are funds held by nonprofit organizations in the name of a private donor, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Although a so-called “sponsoring organization” assumes control over the money, donors can advise it to disburse funds to other nonprofits of their choice. And while donors g...
Although DAFs have been available to donors since at least the 1990s, they have seen an explosion in the last decade, not least in the Jewish community.
Dan Rothblatt, senior vice president of philanthropic services for the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles, said in an email to the Journal that DAFs make up $536 million of The Foundation’s profile of $1.1 billion in charitable assets, or more than half, as of Dec. 31, 2016.
That number is up sharply from five years ago, with a nearly 50 percent increase since 2012, Rothblatt said.
The national growth rate in DAFs has at times been even greater. Between 2010 and 2015, contributions to DAFs nationally more than doubled, from $9 billion to $22 billion, according to a study by the National Philanthropic Trust.
“DAFs are one of the fastest-growing segments of philanthropy for numerous reasons,” Rothblatt wrote. “They’re quick and easy to establish and avoid the costs and administrative complexities of charitable instruments such as private foundations.
DAFs represent a particularly valuable tool for small and mid-sized donors whose wealth is insufficient to make setting up a private foundation worthwhile, Spokoiny said.
Spokoiny noted that DAFs face a number of practical limitations. For one, a DAF cannot employ staff to issue grants or vet potential donation recipients, he said. Moreover, they fundamentally rely on trust: Once a donor signs over his or her funds to a sponsoring organization, they legally belong to that organization, ...
Even detractors acknowledge the effect the funds have had on the charitable giving.
This arrangement can — and does — lead to complications, for instance when a donor wishes to give to a nonprofit seen as contrary to the mission of the sponsoring organization.
DAFs also may be problematic because of a feature that often is seen as an advantage: Unlike private foundations, which are required by law to disburse 5 percent of their holdings each year, DAFs have no such restriction. In a letter to Congress in July, Ray Madoff and Roger Colinvaux, law professors at Boston College ...
Overall, though, the philanthropic sector remains bullish on the funds. Spokoiny said that all major Jewish community foundations now offer donors the option of setting up DAFs.
And even their detractors acknowledge the effect the funds have had on the charitable giving.
