Demand for grocery delivery cools as food costs rise
Video above: How to cut the grocery bill down
Karen Raschke, a retired attorney in New York, started getting her groceries delivered early in the pandemic. Each delivery cost $30 in fees and tips, but it was worth it to avoid the store.
Then earlier this spring, Raschke learned her rent was increasing by $617 per month. Delivery was one of the first things she cut from her budget. Now, the 75-year-old walks four blocks to the grocery several times a week. She only uses delivery on rare occasions, like a recent heat wave.
"To do it every week is not sustainable," she said.
Raschke isn't alone. U.S. demand for grocery delivery is cooling as prices for food and other necessities rise. Some are shifting to pickup — a less expensive alternative where shoppers pull up curbside or go into the store to collect their already-bagged groceries — while others say they're comfortable doing the shopping themselves.
Grocery delivery saw tremendous growth during the first year of the pandemic. In August 2019 — a typical pre-pandemic month — Americans spent $500 million on grocery delivery. By June 2020, it had ballooned to a $3.4 billion business, according to Brick Meets Click, a market research company.
Companies rushed to fill that demand. DoorDash and Uber Eats began offering grocery delivery. Kroger — the nation's largest grocer — opened automated warehouses to fulfill delivery orders. Amazon opened a handful of Amazon Fresh groceries, which provide free delivery to Prime members. Hyper-fast grocery delivery companies like Jokr and Buyk expanded into U.S. cities.

But as the pandemic eased, demand softened. In June 2022, Americans spent $2.5 billion on grocery delivery — down 26% from 2020. For comparison, they spent $3.4 billion on grocery pickup, which saw demand drop 10.5% from its pandemic highs.
That's causing some turmoil in the industry. Buyk filed for bankruptcy in March; Jokr pulled out of the U.S. in June. Instacart — the U.S. market leader in grocery delivery — slashed its own valuation by 40% to $24 billion in March ahead of a potential IPO. Kroger said its digital sales — which include pickup and delivery — dropped 6% in the first quarter of this year.
Some think delivery demand could drop further. Chase Design, a consulting firm, says its surveys show the number of U.S. shoppers who plan to use grocery delivery "all the time" has fallen by half since 2021.
Cost is the biggest reason. Peter Cloutier, the growth and commercial strategy lead at Chase Design, said it's difficult to get groceries to a customer's door for less than a $10 premium, which covers labor and transportation. Often, that cost is higher.
Consider a basket of eight staples from Target, including a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs and a pound of ground beef. In store, the order would ring up at $35.12. Target offers curbside pickup for free. Delivery costs $9.99, not including a tip.
DoorDash also offers delivery from Target, but it charges more for each item on its website. The cart rings up at $39.90 from DoorDash, which then adds $12.18 in taxes and delivery fees. If the consumer adds a $10 tip, that totals $62.08.
Both DoorDash and Target offer free delivery through subscriptions, but those come with a monthly or yearly fee.
The premiums are tough to swallow on top of skyrocketing food prices. In June, U.S. grocery food prices were up 12.2% over the last 12 months, the largest increase since April 1979, according to government data.
Cynthia Carrasco White, an attorney for a nonprofit in Los Angeles, got accustomed to grocery delivery during the pandemic. She still prefers it, since her youngest child isn't fully vaccinated and it saves time.
But earlier this summer, as gas prices approached $7 and a box of strawberries neared $9, she got serious about cutting costs.
White now toggles between Instacart, Uber Eats, Walmart and others, using whichever has the best offers and coupons. She will sometimes spend two hours filling a delivery cart and then wait to see if more promotions are posted before she finishes her order. And she has cut back on the amount she tips drivers.
"The economy has definitely taken the wind out of our sails," she said. "It's just this endless pressure."
Retailers are responding by varying delivery prices by time of day. On a recent morning, Walmart offered to deliver a $35 order within two hours for $17.95; that dropped to $7.95 if the order could be delivered between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
But cost isn't the only reason some consumers are moving away from delivery. Cloutier says many customers are wary of the quality of items selected by workers.
"There's a trust gap between what the shopper wants to get and what the retailer fulfills," Cloutier said.
Delivery companies are trying to improve that. Last month, Uber Eats announced upgrades to its online grocery offering, including the ability for consumers to see the products as workers scan them.
But even that may not entice some shoppers.
Diane Kovacs, a college lecturer in Brunswick, Ohio, has been using curbside pickup for nearly a decade. It saves her money, she says, because she doesn't get sucked into impulse buys inside the grocery.
She got her groceries delivered briefly during the pandemic and she didn't mind paying $10 or $15 a week for the service. But she still prefers pickup. She likes driving her dogs to the store and chatting with the employees.
"I think that people are not using delivery because they want to get the heck out of the house," she said.
True demand for grocery delivery is tough to calculate. Usage can swing wildly when COVID cases rise or companies offer discounts, said David Bishop, a partner at Brick Meets Click.
But he sees some patterns emerging. Households with young children and people with mobility issues are sticking with delivery. People over 60 have generally gone back to shopping in person.
Bishop says delivery saw five years of growth in the first three months of the pandemic, and demand is probably still elevated. Eventually, he expects delivery sales to settle into more regular growth of about 10% per year. But delivery won't go away, he said.
"I don't see it moving all the way back to pre-COVID levels. That can has been opened up," he said.

More human remains discovered in Lake Mead's receding waters
Video above: Bodies keep turning up at Nevada's Lake Mead
More human remains have been found in the receding waters of Lake Mead, authorities announced Saturday.
This is the fourth time human remains have been found at Lake Mead National Recreation Area since May.
In the latest incident, park rangers got a call Saturday morning about skeletal remains at Swim Beach area, National Park Service officials said in a statement.
Rangers set up a perimeter at the beach to recover the remains with help from divers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, according to the Park Service. A coroner was also called to determine the cause of death.
At least three different sets have previously been found at the lake, where water levels have plunged to unprecedented lows amid an unrelenting water crisis in the West.
The previous remains discovered, including a body that was found in a corroding barrel with a gunshot wound, were in advanced stages of decomposition and thus difficult to extract DNA from, officials said.
It's unclear how long the latest remains found have been in the lake. The homicide division of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police is not currently handling the investigation, Lt. Jason Johansson told CNN.
The police department is, however, leading the investigation into a different body, one found in the barrel on the lake's Hemenway Harbor on May 1. The body had an obvious gunshot wound and investigators immediately treated it as a homicide investigation, Johansson previously told CNN.
"Anytime you have a body in a barrel, clearly there was somebody else involved," he said.
Since then, Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse has preliminarily ruled the cause and manner of death a homicide by gunshot. The remains, dubbed Hemenway Harbor Doe by the coroner's office, belonged to someone who died in the mid-'70s to early '80s, according to police.
A second set of remains -- found on May 7 at Calville Bay -- are believed to belong to someone who was approximately between ages 23 and 37, according to Rouse.
It's unclear how that person died. The Calville Bay remains are more skeletal than the other two sets, which both still have organ tissue available for examination, Rouse said.
A third set of remains -- found at the lake's Swim Beach on July 25 -- are only partial and are still at early stages of examination, according to Rouse.
The lake straddles the border of Nevada and Arizona.
While the grim discoveries in the shrinking lake quickly generated theories of mob involvement, Johansson said those ideas are "mere speculation" at this point in the investigation.
A National Park Service spokesperson told CNN one possible explanation for the remains could be that they belong to people who previously drowned at the lake when water levels used to be high.
At its height in '80s, Lake Mead -- the largest manmade reservoir in the country -- was 1,225 feet above sea level. But as the mega-drought persists, water levels have plunged this year to the lowest level since the reservoir was filled in the 1930s.
Lake Mead was filled to just 27% of capacity as of July 18, 2022, according to NASA.
Water levels have plummeted so much that, in addition to several bodies, they have exposed a sunken World War II-era vessel, the Park Service announced in early July.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael Langley was promoted to the rank of general in a ceremony Saturday, becoming the first Black four-star general in the military branch's 246-year history.
Langley will take command of the US Africa Command, which oversees the nation's military presence in Africa, in a change of command ceremony at its Germany headquarters on Monday.
Speaking after the ceremony at Marine Barracks in Washington, DC, Langley said he was "humbled and honored for the opportunity to take on the stewardship of command of AFRICOM" as a four-star general.
"But the milestone and what it means to the Corps is quite essential. Not just because the mark in history, but what it will affect going forward, especially for those younger across society that want to aspire and look at the Marine Corps as an opportunity," he added.
Langley was nominated by President Joe Biden for the promotion in June. The US Senate confirmed his promotion to four-star general by a voice vote earlier this week.
In remarks during Saturday's ceremony, Langley paid homage to "those who have gone before," recognizing Frederick C. Branch, the first commissioned Black Marine, and the Montford Point Marines, the first African Americans to enlist in the Marines who trained at a segregated facility in Montford Point, North Carolina.
He also spoke of the importance of diversity in the military to "maintain a decisive advantage over our strategic competitors."
The Marine Corps had refused to recruit African Americans and other minorities until a 1941 executive order signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt that "forced the Corps, despite objections from its leadership," to start recruiting Black Marines the following year.
Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Langley graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington and has served with the Marine Corps since 1985.
He has commanded at every level and served in multiple continents, being deployed to countries such as Japan and Afghanistan over the course of his career.
He most recently served as commander of the US Marine Corps Forces Command and Marine Forces Northern Command and as commanding general of Fleet Marine Force Atlantic.

2023 Kawasaki Z900RS arrives with sporty looks: Check price, features
Kawasaki has taken the wraps off the 2023 iteration of its retro-looking Z900RS in the US market. The two-wheeler retails at $11,949 (approximately Rs. 9.48 lakh). The updated version of the motorcycle receives an all-new dual-tone paint scheme called Metallic Diablo Black/Metallic Imperial Red. However, the Japanese bikemaker has kept the design, features, and mechanicals of the bike unchanged.
- Kawasaki introduced the Z900RS as a neo-retro cafe racer at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2017. It sits in the Z series of motorcycles along with other capable offerings such as Z650RS, Z900, and Z H2.
- The motorcycle is a retro-inspired model from the Japanese bikemaker and caters to customers graduating from the 650cc category.
- It rivals BMW R nineT and Triumph Speed Twin.
The 2023 Kawasaki Z900RS sits on a high tensile steel trellis frame and features a sculpted 17-liter fuel tank, a wide handlebar, circular mirrors, an upswept exhaust, a ribbed-pattern seat, chrome-garnished round LED headlamp, and a sleek LED taillight. The motorcycle houses a dual-pod instrument console and tips the scales at 215kg. The two-wheeler rides on 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels.
The Kawasaki Z900RS is powered by a 948cc, 4-cylinder, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled engine that generates a maximum power of 108hp at 8,500rpm and 95Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The mill is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch.
In terms of safety equipment, the 2023 Kawasaki Z900RS comes equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS and Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) for better handling. Suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by adjustable inverted forks on the front side and a preload-adjustable horizontal back-link unit on the rear end.
Kawasaki has launched the retro-inspired 2023 Z900RS with a price tag of $11,949 (approximately Rs. 9.48 lakh) in the US market. The motorcycle is expected to make its way to India soon.

India beat West Indies in 5th T20I, win series 4-1
India clinched a comprehensive 88-run win over West Indies in the fifth and final T20I. Batting first, the Men in Blue hoarded 188/7, with Shreyas Iyer (64) smashing the bulk of the tally. For WI, Odean Smith pocketed the best figures (3/33). Barring Shimron Hetmyer (56), none of the Windies batters had a decent show on offer (100/10). Here's more.
India lost Ishan Kishan early on, but paced their innings well, credits to Iyer and Hooda. Stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya was a huge plus for the visitors. He belted 6, 4, and 6 off Jason Holder in the 19th over. Later, the Indian spin trio of Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, and Kuldeep Yadav put WI out of the chase to snatch an easy triumph.
Iyer, who struggled for a decent show in the T20I leg versus WI, came all guns blazing in Lauderhill. He marched his way to a 40-ball 64, reaching the 50-run mark in 30 deliveries. He smacked eight fours and two sixes. Notably, it was Iyer's seventh T20I fifty and first against the Windies. He has breached the 1,000-run mark (1,029) while averaging 33.19.
Iyer (1,029) has become only the eighth Indian batter to attain 1,000 or more runs in the format. Rohit Sharma (3,487), Virat Kohli (3,308), KL Rahul (1,831), Shikhar Dhawan (1,759), MS Dhoni (1,617), Suresh Raina (1,605), and Yuvraj Singh (1,177) are the others.
Hooda slapped a 25-ball 38, courtesy of three fours and two sixes. He weaved a crucial 76-run stand with Iyer at the other end. The right-hander now holds 274 T20I runs across seven innings, averaging a monstrous 54.80. Meanwhile, Hardik thumped a quickfire 28 off 16 deliveries, hitting two fours and two sixes. The hard-hitter has raced to 834 runs (SR: 144.04).
Smith has had expensive outings in this format. However, the bowling all-round shrugged off his inconsistencies to dish a career-best effort. Sanju Samson was bowled out by Smith's pace in 18th over. A slower one got Dinesh Karthik out LBW. Axar routed back to the pavilion after ill-timing a wide full toss. Smith now holds 13 T20I wickets at 35.38.
Axar Patel bowled superbly as he swept the Windies' top order. He concluded with 3/15 in three overs, including a maiden. He now has 21 scalps (economy: 7.33). Ravi Bishnoi snared career-best figures of 4/16 in 2.4 overs. He holds 15 scalps at 16.53. Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav aced his return, bagging figures worth 3/12 in four overs. He has 44 wickets at 14.02.
India's spin trio of Kuldeep, Axar, and Bishnoi uprooted the entire Windies' batting order. As per Kausthub Gudipati, it's the first instance in men's T20Is wherein spinners have claimed all 10 wickets in an innings. Also, Iyer's 64 is the highest score by an Indian batter in his maiden innings as an opener in men's T20Is. He bettered Ajinkya Rahane'a 61 (vs England, 2011).

China launches long-range airstrike drills around Taiwan on fourth day of military exercises
Chinese forces took part in drills focused on land attacks and long-range airstrikes around Taiwan on Sunday, its military said, on what was expected to be the final day of extensive exercises rolled out in response to a visit to the island by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese military said on Sunday around noon local time that it conducted live-fire drills in the waters and airspace around Taiwan "as planned."
"The drills focused on joint fire land strikes and long-range air strike capabilities," the command said in a statement posted to its official account on the social media platform Weibo, without specifying whether the drills have ended.
The exercises, planned to take place in six zones around the island, began Thursday and were scheduled to last until Sunday at noon local time in Beijing, Chinese state media reported.
Taiwan's Defense Ministry on Sunday said it detected multiple Chinese aircraft, naval vessels and drones operating around the Taiwan Strait that morning, in what it called a "simulated attack against the main island of Taiwan and Taiwan's naval vessels" -- a slight dial-up of language from Saturday when it said that Chinese military drills around the island could be a "possible simulated attack."
Taiwan's military "closely monitored" the situation and deployed aircraft and vessels to "appropriately" react to Chinese military drills around the island, the Defense Ministry added. It also said drones "intruded" into outlying islands controlled by Taiwan.
The ministry did not immediately provide an exact number for the Chinese aircraft, vessels or drones that were detected on Sunday morning or say whether they crossed the sensitive median line in the Taiwan Strait that separates the island from the Chinese mainland.

China announced the drills -- whose scale marks a significant escalation from past activities -- within an hour of the arrival of Pelosi and a congressional delegation in Taiwan on Tuesday evening. The stop, which was expected but not announced beforehand, was part of a larger Asia tour.
Chinese officials had repeatedly warned Washington of unspecified repercussions in the lead-up to the expected trip. In addition to the drills, Beijing also launched a raft of diplomatic penalties, including canceling future phone calls between Chinese and U.S. defense leaders and suspending bilateral climate talks.
The Chinese Communist Party views self-governing Taiwan as its territory, despite never having controlled it, and has long vowed to "reunify" the island with the Chinese mainland -- by force if necessary.

The previous days' drills had seen a number of air and maritime operations around the island, including the launch of 11 ballistic missiles on Thursday -- some of which flew over the island of Taiwan and landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone. That marked the first time China had sent missiles over the island.
On Saturday, 14 vessels and 20 planes operated by the Chinese military were detected around the strait, according to Taiwan's Defense Ministry. Of the 20 aircraft, 14 crossed the median line, it added.
On Friday, 68 Chinese warplanes were reported in the Taiwan Strait, according to the ministry. Of those, 49 entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone -- a buffer of airspace commonly referred to as an ADIZ. That was just a few planes short of the record set last year when 56 Chinese warplanes entered the ADIZ on the same day.
Taiwan's Premier Su Tseng-chang on Sunday reiterated Taiwan's condemnation of the drills.
"Not only Taiwan but other countries in the region, as well as freedom-loving countries like the U.S. and so on, have vehemently protested and condemned China's arrogant military operations disrupting regional peace and stability," he said during a press engagement.
"We call on the Chinese government to not flex its military muscles and disrupt regional peace."
A U.S. National Security Council spokesperson on Saturday called China's recent military activities around Taiwan a "significant escalation in China's efforts to change the status quo."
"They are provocative, irresponsible, and raise the risk of miscalculation," the spokesperson said. "They are also at odds with our long-standing goal of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, which is what the world expects."
U.S. allies have also come forward to condemn China's actions, including in a joint statement issued Friday by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, and Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa following their meeting on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Cambodia.
The diplomats "condemned (China's) launch of ballistic missiles," including those the Japanese government said landed in its exclusive economic zone, for "raising tension and destabilizing the region," and called on China "to immediately cease the military exercises," according to the statement released by the US State Department.
China hit back on Saturday evening, with its embassy in Australia calling the US "the biggest saboteur and destabilizer of peace in the Taiwan Strait" and disputing the "legal basis" for Japan's claims regarding the missile landings.
"China is the victim of political provocation from the US. The actions taken by the Chinese government to safeguard state sovereignty and territorial integrity and curb the separatist activities are legitimate and justified," a statement from the embassy read.

Demand for grocery delivery cools as food costs rise
Video above: How to cut the grocery bill down
Karen Raschke, a retired attorney in New York, started getting her groceries delivered early in the pandemic. Each delivery cost $30 in fees and tips, but it was worth it to avoid the store.
Then earlier this spring, Raschke learned her rent was increasing by $617 per month. Delivery was one of the first things she cut from her budget. Now, the 75-year-old walks four blocks to the grocery several times a week. She only uses delivery on rare occasions, like a recent heat wave.
"To do it every week is not sustainable," she said.
Raschke isn't alone. U.S. demand for grocery delivery is cooling as prices for food and other necessities rise. Some are shifting to pickup — a less expensive alternative where shoppers pull up curbside or go into the store to collect their already-bagged groceries — while others say they're comfortable doing the shopping themselves.
Grocery delivery saw tremendous growth during the first year of the pandemic. In August 2019 — a typical pre-pandemic month — Americans spent $500 million on grocery delivery. By June 2020, it had ballooned to a $3.4 billion business, according to Brick Meets Click, a market research company.
Companies rushed to fill that demand. DoorDash and Uber Eats began offering grocery delivery. Kroger — the nation's largest grocer — opened automated warehouses to fulfill delivery orders. Amazon opened a handful of Amazon Fresh groceries, which provide free delivery to Prime members. Hyper-fast grocery delivery companies like Jokr and Buyk expanded into U.S. cities.
Video above: "Rossen Reports: How to find lower prices on Instacart"
But as the pandemic eased, demand softened. In June 2022, Americans spent $2.5 billion on grocery delivery — down 26% from 2020. For comparison, they spent $3.4 billion on grocery pickup, which saw demand drop 10.5% from its pandemic highs.
That's causing some turmoil in the industry. Buyk filed for bankruptcy in March; Jokr pulled out of the U.S. in June. Instacart — the U.S. market leader in grocery delivery — slashed its own valuation by 40% to $24 billion in March ahead of a potential IPO. Kroger said its digital sales — which include pickup and delivery — dropped 6% in the first quarter of this year.
Some think delivery demand could drop further. Chase Design, a consulting firm, says its surveys show the number of U.S. shoppers who plan to use grocery delivery "all the time" has fallen by half since 2021.
Cost is the biggest reason. Peter Cloutier, the growth and commercial strategy lead at Chase Design, said it's difficult to get groceries to a customer's door for less than a $10 premium, which covers labor and transportation. Often, that cost is higher.
Consider a basket of eight staples from Target, including a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs and a pound of ground beef. In store, the order would ring up at $35.12. Target offers curbside pickup for free. Delivery costs $9.99, not including a tip.
DoorDash also offers delivery from Target, but it charges more for each item on its website. The cart rings up at $39.90 from DoorDash, which then adds $12.18 in taxes and delivery fees. If the consumer adds a $10 tip, that totals $62.08.
Both DoorDash and Target offer free delivery through subscriptions, but those come with a monthly or yearly fee.
The premiums are tough to swallow on top of skyrocketing food prices. In June, U.S. grocery food prices were up 12.2% over the last 12 months, the largest increase since April 1979, according to government data.
Cynthia Carrasco White, an attorney for a nonprofit in Los Angeles, got accustomed to grocery delivery during the pandemic. She still prefers it, since her youngest child isn't fully vaccinated and it saves time.
But earlier this summer, as gas prices approached $7 and a box of strawberries neared $9, she got serious about cutting costs.
White now toggles between Instacart, Uber Eats, Walmart and others, using whichever has the best offers and coupons. She will sometimes spend two hours filling a delivery cart and then wait to see if more promotions are posted before she finishes her order. And she has cut back on the amount she tips drivers.
"The economy has definitely taken the wind out of our sails," she said. "It's just this endless pressure."
Retailers are responding by varying delivery prices by time of day. On a recent morning, Walmart offered to deliver a $35 order within two hours for $17.95; that dropped to $7.95 if the order could be delivered between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
But cost isn't the only reason some consumers are moving away from delivery. Cloutier says many customers are wary of the quality of items selected by workers.
"There's a trust gap between what the shopper wants to get and what the retailer fulfills," Cloutier said.
Delivery companies are trying to improve that. Last month, Uber Eats announced upgrades to its online grocery offering, including the ability for consumers to see the products as workers scan them.
But even that may not entice some shoppers.
Diane Kovacs, a college lecturer in Brunswick, Ohio, has been using curbside pickup for nearly a decade. It saves her money, she says, because she doesn't get sucked into impulse buys inside the grocery.
She got her groceries delivered briefly during the pandemic and she didn't mind paying $10 or $15 a week for the service. But she still prefers pickup. She likes driving her dogs to the store and chatting with the employees.
"I think that people are not using delivery because they want to get the heck out of the house," she said.
True demand for grocery delivery is tough to calculate. Usage can swing wildly when COVID cases rise or companies offer discounts, said David Bishop, a partner at Brick Meets Click.
But he sees some patterns emerging. Households with young children and people with mobility issues are sticking with delivery. People over 60 have generally gone back to shopping in person.
Bishop says delivery saw five years of growth in the first three months of the pandemic, and demand is probably still elevated. Eventually, he expects delivery sales to settle into more regular growth of about 10% per year. But delivery won't go away, he said.
"I don't see it moving all the way back to pre-COVID levels. That can has been opened up," he said.

Greensboro man arrested following overnight barricade situation
A man from Greensboro is in custody after resisting arrest and barricading himself inside a home Saturday night, according to a news release from police.
Greensboro police responded to a disorder call at a home on Amberhill Drive. Officers determined a domestic assault had occurred prior to their arrival after meeting with the parties involved.
Police say Colin Wood, 39, had resisted officers, retreated back into the residence alone and barricaded himself inside when officers attempted to take him into custody. Officers immediately began negotiation attempts before the Special Response Team and Hostage Negotiation Team arrived at 2:15 a.m.
Authorities were able to peacefully take Wood into custody two hours later without further incident. He has been charged with domestic assault on a female as well as resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer.
Officers say this is an ongoing investigation, no additional information has been released at this time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pushed their election-year economic package to Senate passage Sunday, a hard-fought compromise less ambitious than President Joe Biden's original domestic vision but one that still meets deep-rooted party goals of slowing global warming, moderating pharmaceutical costs and taxing immense corporations.
The estimated $740 billion package heads next to the House, where lawmakers are poised to deliver on Biden's priorities, a stunning turnaround of what had seemed a lost and doomed effort that suddenly roared back to political life. Democrats held united, 51-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote.
“It's been a long, tough and winding road, but at last, at last we have arrived,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., ahead of final votes.
“The Senate is making history. I am confident the Inflation Reduction Act will endure as one of the defining legislative measures of the 21st century.”
Senators engaged in a round-the-clock marathon of voting that began Saturday and stretched late into Sunday afternoon. Democrats swatted down some three dozen Republican amendments designed to torpedo the legislation. Confronting unanimous GOP opposition, Democratic unity in the 50-50 chamber held, keeping the party on track for a morale-boosting victory three months from elections when congressional control is at stake.
“I think it’s gonna pass,” Biden told reporters as he left the White House early Sunday to go to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, ending his COVID-19 isolation. The House seemed likely to provide final congressional approval when it returns briefly from summer recess on Friday.
The bill ran into trouble midday over objections to the new 15% corporate minimum tax that private equity firms and other industries disliked, forcing last-minute changes.
Despite the momentary setback, the "Inflation Reduction Act" gives Democrats a c ampaign-season showcase for action on coveted goals. It includes the largest-ever federal effort on climate change — close to $400 billion — caps out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors on Medicare to $2,000 a year and extends expiring subsidies that help 13 million people afford health insurance. By raising corporate taxes, the whole package is paid for, with some $300 billion extra revenue for deficit reduction.
Barely more than one-tenth the size of Biden’s initial 10-year, $3.5 trillion rainbow of progressive aspirations in his Build Back Better initiative, the new package abandons earlier proposals for universal preschool, paid family leave and expanded child care aid. That plan collapsed after conservative Sen. Joe. Manchin, D-W.Va., opposed it, saying it was too costly and would fuel inflation.
Nonpartisan analysts have said the “Inflation Reduction Act” would have a minor effect on surging consumer prices.
Republicans said the measure would undermine an economy that policymakers are struggling to keep from plummeting into recession. They said the bill's business taxes would hurt job creation and force prices skyward, making it harder for people to cope with the nation's worst inflation since the 1980s.
“Democrats have already robbed American families once through inflation, and now their solution is to rob American families a second time," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., argued. He said spending and tax increases in the legislation would eliminate jobs while having insignificant impact on inflation and climate change.
In an ordeal imposed on all budget bills like this one, the Senate had to endure an overnight "vote-a-rama" of rapid-fire amendments. Each tested Democrats' ability to hold together a compromise negotiated by Schumer, progressives, Manchin and the inscrutable centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz.
Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., offered amendments to further expand the legislation's health benefits, and those efforts were defeated. Most votes were forced by Republicans and many were designed to make Democrats look soft on U.S.-Mexico border security and gasoline and energy costs, and like bullies for wanting to strengthen IRS tax law enforcement.
Before debate began Saturday, the bill's prescription drug price curbs were diluted by the Senate's nonpartisan parliamentarian. Elizabeth MacDonough, who referees questions about the chamber's procedures, said a provision should fall that would impose costly penalties on drug makers whose price increases for private insurers exceed inflation.
It was the bill's chief protection for the 180 million people with private health coverage they get through work or purchase themselves. Under special procedures that will let Democrats pass their bill by simple majority without the usual 60-vote margin, its provisions must be focused more on dollar-and-cents budget numbers than policy changes.
But the thrust of their pharmaceutical price language remained. That included letting Medicare negotiate what it pays for drugs for its 64 million elderly recipients, penalizing manufacturers for exceeding inflation for pharmaceuticals sold to Medicare and limiting beneficiaries out-of-pocket drug costs to $2,000 annually.
The bill also caps Medicare patients' costs for insulin, the expensive diabetes medication, at $35 monthly. Democrats wanted to extend the $35 cap to private insurers but it ran afoul of Senate rules. Most Republicans voted to strip it from the package, though in a sign of the political potency of health costs seven GOP senators joined Democrats trying to preserve it.
The measure's final costs were being recalculated to reflect late changes, but overall it would raise more than $700 billion over a decade. The money would come from a 15% minimum tax on a handful of corporations with yearly profits above $1 billion, a 1% tax on companies that repurchase their own stock, bolstered IRS tax collections and government savings from lower drug costs.
Sinema forced Democrats to drop a plan to prevent wealthy hedge fund managers from paying less than individual income tax rates for their earnings. She also joined with other Western senators to win $4 billion to combat the region's drought.
Several Democratic senators joined the GOP-led effort to exclude some firms from the new corporate minimum tax.
The package keeps to Biden's pledge not to raise taxes on those earning less than $400,000 a year.
It was on the energy and environment side that compromise was most evident between progressives and Manchin, a champion of fossil fuels and his state's coal industry.
Clean energy would be fostered with tax credits for buying electric vehicles and manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines. There would be home energy rebates, funds for constructing factories building clean energy technology and money to promote climate-friendly farm practices and reduce pollution in minority communities.
Manchin won billions to help power plants lower carbon emissions plus language requiring more government auctions for oil drilling on federal land and waters. Party leaders also promised to push separate legislation this fall to accelerate permits for energy projects, which Manchin wants to include a nearly completed natural gas pipeline in his state.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip appeared headed toward a cease-fire Sunday night after Egyptian officials said both sides agreed to a truce to end a three-day flare-up of violence that has killed dozens of Palestinians.
The cease-fire would end the worst fighting in Gaza since an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas last year. Since Friday night, the violence has killed 43 Palestinians, including 15 children and four women.
Egyptian officials said the truce was set to begin at 11:30 p.m. (2030 GMT; 4:30 p.m. EDT). An Egyptian intelligence official said both sides had agreed to the truce. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the cease-fire talks.
Since Friday, Israeli aircraft have pummeled targets in Gaza, while the Iran-backed Palestinian Jihad militant group has fired hundreds of rockets at Israel in response. The risk of the cross-border fighting turning into a full-fledged war remained as long as no truce was reached. Israel says some of the dead were killed by misfired rockets.
Gaza’s ruling Hamas group remained on the sidelines, possibly because it fears Israeli reprisals and undoing economic understandings with Israel, including Israeli work permits for thousands of Gaza residents, that bolster its control.
Israel launched its operation with a strike Friday on a leader of the Islamic Jihad, and followed up on Saturday with another targeted strike on a second prominent leader.
The second Islamic Jihad commander, Khaled Mansour, was killed in an airstrike on an apartment building in the Rafah refugee camp in southern Gaza late Saturday, which also killed two other militants and five civilians.
Mansour, the Islamic Jihad commander for southern Gaza, was in the apartment of a member of the group when the missile struck, flattening the three-story building and badly damaging nearby houses.
“Suddenly, without warning, the house next to us was bombed and everything became black and dusty with smoke in the blink of an eye,” said Wissam Jouda, who lives next to the targeted building.
Ahmed al-Qaissi, another neighbor, said his wife and son were among the wounded, suffering shrapnel injuries. To make way for rescue workers, al-Qaissi agreed to have part of his house demolished.
As a funeral for Mansour began in the Gaza Strip on Sunday afternoon, the Israeli military said it was striking suspected “Islamic Jihad rocket launch posts.” Smoke could be seen from the strikes as thumps from their explosions rattled Gaza. Israeli airstrikes and rocket fire followed for hours as sirens wailed in central Israel. As the sunset call to prayer sounded Sunday night in Gaza, sirens wailed as far north as Tel Aviv.
Israel says some of the deaths during this round were caused by errant rocket fire, including one incident in the Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza in which six Palestinians were killed Saturday. On Sunday, a projectile hit a home in the same area of Jebaliya, killing two men. Palestinians held Israel responsible, while Israel said it was investigating whether the area was hit by an errant rocket.
Israel's Defense Ministry said mortars fired from Gaza struck the Erez border crossing into Israel, used by thousands of Gazans a day. The mortars damaged the roof and shrapnel hit the hall's entrance, the ministry said. The crossing has been closed amid the fighting.
The Rafah strike was the deadliest so far in the current round of fighting, which was initiated by Israel on Friday with the targeted killing of Islamic Jihad's commander for northern Gaza.
Israel has said it took action against the militant group because of concrete threats of an imminent attack, but has not provided details. Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who is an experienced diplomat but untested in overseeing a war, unleashed the offensive less than three months before a general election in which he is campaigning to keep the job.
In a statement Sunday, Lapid said the military would continue to strike targets in Gaza “in a pinpoint and responsible way in order to reduce to a minimum the harm to noncombatants.” Lapid said the strike that killed Mansour was “an extraordinary achievement.”
“The operation will continue as long as necessary,” Lapid said.
Israel estimates its airstrikes have killed about 15 militants.
Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas, and little is known about its weapons arsenal. Both groups call for Israel's destruction, but have different priorities, with Hamas constrained by the demands of governing.
The Israeli army said militants in Gaza fired about 580 rockets toward Israel. The army said its air defenses had intercepted many of them, with two of those shot down being fired toward Jerusalem. Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas.
Air raid sirens sounded in the Jerusalem area for the first time Sunday since last year’s Israel-Hamas war.
Jerusalem is typically a flashpoint during periods of cross-border fighting between Israel and Gaza. On Sunday, hundreds of Jews, including firebrand ultra-nationalist lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir, visited a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. The visit, under heavy police protection, ended without incident, police said.
Such demonstrative visits by Israeli hard-liners seeking to underscore Israeli claims of sovereignty over contested Jerusalem have sparked violence in the past. The holy site sits on the fault line of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is central to rival narratives of Palestinians and Israeli Jews.
In Palestinian cities and towns in the West Bank, Israeli security forces said they detained 19 people on suspicion of belonging to the Islamic Jihad during overnight raids.
By Sunday, Hamas still appeared to stay out of the battle. The group has a strong incentive to avoid another war. Last year's Israel-Hamas war, one of four major conflicts and several smaller battles over the last 15 years, exacted a staggering toll on the impoverished territory’s 2.3 million Palestinian residents.
Since the last war, Israel and Hamas have reached tacit understandings based on trading calm for work permits and a slight easing of the border blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt when Hamas overran the territory 15 years ago. Israel has issued 12,000 work permits to Gaza laborers, and has held out the prospect of granting another 2,000 permits.
The lone power plant in Gaza ground to a halt at noon Saturday due to lack of fuel. Israel has kept its crossing points into Gaza closed since Tuesday. With the new disruption, Gazans can use only four hours of electricity a day, increasing their reliance on private generators and deepening the territory’s chronic power crisis amid peak summer heat.

More human remains discovered in Lake Mead's receding waters
Video above: Bodies keep turning up at Nevada's Lake Mead
More human remains have been found in the receding waters of Lake Mead, authorities announced Saturday.
This is the fourth time human remains have been found at Lake Mead National Recreation Area since May.
In the latest incident, park rangers got a call Saturday morning about skeletal remains at Swim Beach area, National Park Service officials said in a statement.
Rangers set up a perimeter at the beach to recover the remains with help from divers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, according to the Park Service. A coroner was also called to determine the cause of death.
At least three different sets have previously been found at the lake, where water levels have plunged to unprecedented lows amid an unrelenting water crisis in the West.
The previous remains discovered, including a body that was found in a corroding barrel with a gunshot wound, were in advanced stages of decomposition and thus difficult to extract DNA from, officials said.
It's unclear how long the latest remains found have been in the lake. The homicide division of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police is not currently handling the investigation, Lt. Jason Johansson told CNN.
The police department is, however, leading the investigation into a different body, one found in the barrel on the lake's Hemenway Harbor on May 1. The body had an obvious gunshot wound and investigators immediately treated it as a homicide investigation, Johansson previously told CNN.
"Anytime you have a body in a barrel, clearly there was somebody else involved," he said.
Since then, Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse has preliminarily ruled the cause and manner of death a homicide by gunshot. The remains, dubbed Hemenway Harbor Doe by the coroner's office, belonged to someone who died in the mid-'70s to early '80s, according to police.
A second set of remains -- found on May 7 at Calville Bay -- are believed to belong to someone who was approximately between ages 23 and 37, according to Rouse.
It's unclear how that person died. The Calville Bay remains are more skeletal than the other two sets, which both still have organ tissue available for examination, Rouse said.
A third set of remains -- found at the lake's Swim Beach on July 25 -- are only partial and are still at early stages of examination, according to Rouse.
The lake straddles the border of Nevada and Arizona.
While the grim discoveries in the shrinking lake quickly generated theories of mob involvement, Johansson said those ideas are "mere speculation" at this point in the investigation.
A National Park Service spokesperson told CNN one possible explanation for the remains could be that they belong to people who previously drowned at the lake when water levels used to be high.
At its height in '80s, Lake Mead -- the largest manmade reservoir in the country -- was 1,225 feet above sea level. But as the mega-drought persists, water levels have plunged this year to the lowest level since the reservoir was filled in the 1930s.
Lake Mead was filled to just 27% of capacity as of July 18, 2022, according to NASA.
Water levels have plummeted so much that, in addition to several bodies, they have exposed a sunken World War II-era vessel, the Park Service announced in early July.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Janice Bluestein Longone, who is credited with collecting thousands of items chronicling the culinary history of the United States, including cookbooks, menus, advertisements and diaries, has died at age 89.
Longone died Wednesday, according to Nie Family Funeral Home in Ann Arbor. The cause and location of death weren't announced.
Longone's collection formed the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where her husband, Daniel T. Longone, was a chemistry professor.
Longone said that she believed the collection showed how American agriculture and culinary practices defined regional customs and traditions. Her collection included cookbooks from the 1800s and early 1900s called “charity cookbooks” that were sold as fundraisers and immigrant cookbooks.
“Our hope is we have gathered materials that offer researchers access into a new way of looking at American history,” she said in a 2010 University of Michigan article. “That could be the rethinking of the role of women, who were publishing more than 150 years ago charity cookbooks, which often reflected the pressing issues of the day, or simply, the impact of refrigeration on American tastes and lifestyles.”
The collection included early U.S. cookbooks, such as one printed in 1796, one published by an African American woman in 1866 and a Jewish cookbook published in America in 1871, according to the university.
Longone's activities as a culinary historian included being a founding member of the American Institute of Wine and Food, an author of entries for “The Oxford Companion to Food,” and hosting the National Public Radio show “Adventures in Gastronomy” in the 1970s.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Triston McKenzie held Houston to two hits and struck out eight in eight innings, Luke Maile homered for the first time in three years and the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Houston Astros 1-0 on Sunday.
McKenzie (8-8) retired 15 straight hitters before pinch-hitter Kyle Tucker walked with one out in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Jose Altuve then bounced into an inning-ending double play, and McKenzie let out a yell and pounded his right hand into his glove as he headed to dugout behind a loud ovation from 22,688 fans.
McKenzie walked one and threw 91 pitches. He struck out Alex Bregman to begin the second, but Trey Mancini and Chas McCormick followed with one-out singles to put runners at first and second. McKenzie struck out Mauricio Dubón and Jake Meyers to end the inning.
The 25-year-old right-hander was 3-1 with a 1.34 ERA in July, but had allowed a three-run homer in each of his last two starts — both losses.
Maile’s fifth-inning home run off Christian Javier landed on the home run porch in left field for his first homer since May 20, 2019.
Emmanuel Clase struck out two of the three hitters he faced in the ninth for his 24th save in 26 opportunities.
The win gave Cleveland a split of the four-game series against the AL West leaders. Houston won the first two games of the series by a combined score of 15-3 and is an AL-best 36-23 on the road. Javier (6-8) is 0-5 over his last six starts. The right-hander gave up six hits, struck out four and didn't walk a batter over six innings.
BAKER UPDATE
Bench coach Joe Espada spoke on the phone Sunday morning with Astros manager Dusty Baker, who was out for the series after testing positive for COVID-19 on Friday.
“He’s in good spirits,” Espada said. “He’s feeling a lot better. Hopefully he gets to travel back to Houston sometime this week.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Astros: Altuve and 1B Yuli Gurriel were out of the starting lineup. Houston is off Monday. Mancini started at first while Díaz played second.
Guardians: OF Steven Kwan returned after not playing Saturday and being pulled from Friday’s game after fouling a ball off his leg. Kwan was 0 for 2 on Friday, ending his 18-game hitting streak. The rookie singled in the third and fifth Sunday.
UP NEXT
Astros: Houston opens a three-game home series against Texas on Tuesday night. RHP José Urquidy (10-4, 3.82) is the scheduled starter.
Guardians: RHP Shane Bieber (6-6, 3.39 ERA) is scheduled to start in the opener of a three-game series in Detroit on Tuesday.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The National Weather Service extended a flood watch through Sunday evening for areas of eastern Kentucky ravaged by high water more than a week ago and said there's a threat of thunderstorms in the region for much of the coming week.
There's a “persistent threat of thunderstorms” through Thursday that could produce heavy rain and cause flash flooding “especially if multiple storms pass over the same area,” the weather service in Jackson said.
The forecast includes Monday, when President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are scheduled to join Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and his wife, Britainy, at a Federal Emergency Management Agency State Disaster Recovery Center in eastern Kentucky to survey the damage and meet with those affected.
Meanwhile, the federal government on Saturday promised more aid for flood-ravaged eastern Kentucky. Biden authorized an increase in the level of federal funding for emergency work and FEMA added five counties to those eligible for individual assistance for a total of 12.
“This is good news and will be a big help,” Beshear said in a tweet Sunday after visiting the day before with some displaced residents who are staying at state parks since the catastrophic flooding.
“These Kentuckians have been through the unimaginable. My priority is being there for them,” he said.

At least 37 people lost their lives in the flooding after 8 to 10 1/2 inches of rain fell in just 48 hours in the Appalachian mountain region. The flooding also hit areas just across the state line in Virginia and West Virginia.
The National Weather Service said radar-based rainfall estimates suggesting that 14 to 16 inches of rain fell from July 26-29, totals that are “historically unheard of.”
More than 1,300 people were rescued in the days after the storm as teams searched in boats and combed debris-clogged creekbanks. Work crews were still trying to restore power and water connections as residents look to repair their homes and lives after the floods.
Power outages were down to 300 on Sunday, Beshear tweeted. The number of fatalities stood at 37, but Kentucky State Police reported at least two people were still missing.
“The devastation is enormous. We will be there for our Eastern Kentucky neighbors in the weeks, months and years ahead,” Beshear said.

WWII veteran in Mount Vernon, Mo. celebrates his 100th birthday on Sunday
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - According to the National WWII Museum, around 234 WWII veterans die daily. One WWII veteran in the Missouri Veterans Home in Mount Vernon defies these odds.
Raymond “Bud” Clauson turned 100 years old on Sunday. Bud served in the U.S. Navy and went overseas when he was only 20.
“I was on the USS Neville for 2 1/2 years,” Bud said. “We made four landings while I was on there.”
Bud said while deployed, he went to Sicily, Macon Islands, Enewetak Islands, and Saipan.
However, Bud said while the experience was remarkable, it was also tough to witness. He said he saw many dead while in Saipan.
“There were hundreds of bodies floating in the ocean out to sea,” Bud said.
Bud’s daughter, Sally McFarlen, said her father did not talk much about his time in the military growing up, but he started to open up about it as she and her brother, Gary Clauson, grew older.
McFarlen said her father exemplified strong qualities that she’s thankful every day to have been taught.
“He was a great dad, my brother and I had wonderful classic American childhoods,” McFarlen said. “He taught us to have strong values, to love the Lord, and to have a strong work ethic.”
McFarlen recalled when she was only a teenager, she worked up to afford a horse, and her brother worked to afford his Jeep. She said without having that strong work ethic, and perseverance Bud always taught her to have, she wouldn’t be the person she is today.
Bud said he was married to Sally and Gary’s mother for 60 years, and even when their mother, Marilyn, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Bud was there by her side. Marilyn passed away in 2018 due to the disease, but Bud still remembers her as a smart, strict, and kind wife and mother to their two children.
Bud now resides in veterans home in Mount Vernon. He said he is grateful every day for all of his blessings.
“I’m thankful that I had the opportunity to live in this beautiful country and that we had the opportunity to travel to other countries,” Bud said. “This country is better than any other place on Earth.”
McFarlen, Bud, and his caregivers at the veterans home are extremely excited to celebrate his milestone 100th birthday on Aug. 7. Bud will be surrounded by many of his family and friends on that day.

“Misinformation is eroding the public’s confidence in democracy”.
The anti-abortion fanatics just don’t care at all about the life and health of the mother.
“Do Vending Machines Really Kill More Americans Than Sharks Every Year?”
“A collective of more than 400 television creators and showrunners sent a letter to top-level executives at Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, NBC Universal, Apple and more, demanding specific protocols to protect pregnant employees in states where abortion is outlawed.”
By the way, if you got to the bottom of that list and asked yourself “where are all the dudes?”, the answer is here. And good for them.
A brief history of recessions, and how something gets to be called a “recession”.
“The infant mortality rate in states banning or expected to soon ban abortion is 6.3 per 1,000 births. In states that aren’t going to ban abortion, it’s 4.7 per 1,000.”
RIP, Nichelle Nichols, actor best known for playing Lt. Uhura on Star Trek, one of the first Black female leads on TV. A bunch of well-deserved tributes from across the Star Trek universe is here.
RIP, Pat Carroll, Emmy-winning actor who provided the voice of Ursula in The Little Mermaid.
Welp, Netflix is now suing the creators of that Bridgerton: The Musical production.
RIP, Paul Coker, character and production designer for the classic Rankin/Bass stop-motion and animated holiday specials and longtime MAD Magazine artist.
“It’s Time For a National Gun Buyback“.
“It’s hardly new to point out that algorithmic trending lists can amplify bad stuff to huge audiences. So why does Twitter still have this feature in 2022?”
RIP, Vin Scully, iconic and legendary broadcaster for the LA Dodgers.
Schadenfreude. Pure, unadulterated, blissful schadenfreude. Try not to injure yourself stifling giggles.
“This is a foundational principle in the United States: That while voters should be able to pick their president and their representatives in Congress and at the state level, and have the power to vote on various state-level laws, our Constitution protects the rights of minority and other historically mistreated groups as well. No one should see their basic rights subject to the tyranny of the majority.”
“I can only speak for myself, but I never believed their infinitely repeated protestations that they didn’t want to ban abortion, just make reasonable regulations about it. I didn’t believe it because they didn’t even believe it themselves. Apparently, about six out of 10 voters didn’t believe them either.”
“After passing the House with the support of 47 Republicans, the Respect for Marriage Act, which would protect marriage rights for same-sex couples if the Supreme Court were to overturn its 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, faces much dimmer prospects in the Senate. There is one reason why: the Christian right still controls the Republican Party.”
