HONESDALE, Pa. — This time last year - the Honesdale Borough Pool still hadn't opened. Kids wouldn't take their first dip of the summer until the end of July. There weren't enough lifeguards to staff the pool.
"Which was a disappointment to a lot of the community members, since this has always been a place for them to come and get a break from the sun," pool manager Dana Pratt said.
This summer - it's a different story. The borough hired just enough lifeguards to open the pool on time.
Pool manager and college student Dana Pratt started recruiting people virtually from her campus in January.
"We utilized social media as much as we could. We also were able to cover the up-front costs of training this year through the Honesdale Lion's Club - they donated money to do that. And we were also able to have sign-on bonuses until May 1st of this year," Pratt said.
The only reason the borough could even open the pool at all last year was thanks to some help from staff at the Wayne County YMCA. That partnership will continue.
"We got certified, and we opened it up to our camp, and the community," YMCA Day Camp Director and pool lifeguard Jordan Joyce said. "We are very glad to have this going, and hopefully it goes on for many years."
Not all pools have been as lucky. The Lackawanna State Park announced last week it will not open its pool at all this summer.
The nationwide lifeguard shortage has kept a lot of pools closed, and that means more visitors to pools like Honesdale's.
Lifeguard Madison Meagher said "the more, the merrier."
"I really enjoy being able to see all the kids use the pool, and they always have a smile on their face," Meagher said.
She recruited her sister Elizabeth to pick up a whistle, who went through the American Red Cross three-day certification program.
It does cost a pretty penny for a high school or college student - the borough hopes that by covering the cost, it'll remove some of the barriers for future lifeguards.
The Honesdale Borough Pool is open daily and will be closed on July 4. Tickets are $5 for residents and $8 for non-residents. The borough is still hiring lifeguards. Click here to find out more.

South Florida’s housing crisis has caught the attention of U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge.
Fudge met with local leaders this week to tour affordable housing projects in Congresswoman Frederica Wilson’s district and discuss how the Biden-Harris administration plans to lower costs and increase the supply of affordable housing units.
“I decided today to come down to the epicenter of the housing crisis in this country,” she said at a press conference on Tuesday. “It is a shame that people who work hard every day cannot afford to live in the communities in which they work.”
The visit comes two months after Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava declared an affordable housing crisis and announced an additional $13 million in rental assistance for residents through the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP).
Earlier this year, the RealtyHop housing affordability index named Miami as the most expensive housing market in the U.S., surpassing New York City and Los Angeles.
According to Levine Cava’s office, local rents increased over 30% just in the last year, forcing the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners to pass legislation to require fair notice of rent increases for tenants and create for the first time a Tenants Bill of Rights.
“We live in a nation now where one of the fastest-growing groups of people [in this country] is homeless people,” said Fudge, explaining that the U.S. has not invested enough resources into housing as it should have but admitting that there has been more support trickling in with this administration.
To lower housing costs, Fudge said, there must be more affordable housing projects for low-income families and support from the federal, state, and local governments to make it happen.
Wilson and Levine Cava pointed to the Liberty Square Redevelopment Project as an example of bringing more housing options to Black communities while also building a thriving economy.
Fudge revealed that the administration is prepared to request another $35 billion in federal funding to build more housing, in addition to the dollars provided through the American Rescue Plan.
“We are working to do our part, but you have to do yours,” she said to leaders, explaining that some cities have not yet used up all its allocated funding to address the issue locally. “Don’t blow this opportunity. There are plenty of resources in [this] state [and] in your cities. | https://www.miamitimesonline.com/news/local/hud-secretary-marcia-fudge-calls-miami-the-epicenter-of-the-housing-crisis/article_3cd9172e-f750-11ec-a0b4-43d9d5a654d2.html | 2022-06-29T16:12:39 | 0 | https://www.miamitimesonline.com/news/local/hud-secretary-marcia-fudge-calls-miami-the-epicenter-of-the-housing-crisis/article_3cd9172e-f750-11ec-a0b4-43d9d5a654d2.html |
Nebraska’s low-profile special election to fill the remainder of former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry’s term was not supposed to be close. Republicans have held the district for nearly 60 years.
Yet Republican Mike Flood (pictured) defeated Democrat Patty Pansing Brooks by only 4 percentage points on Tuesday.
The specific cause of the margin wasn’t immediately unclear, although there was evidence of higher turnout in one Democratic-leaning county that could be related to the Roe decision.
Heading into election day, Flood appeared to have a strong edge in the district, which includes Lincoln, parts of suburban Omaha and dozens of smaller, more conservative towns. The district has nearly 68,000 more Republicans than Democrats and hasn’t elected a Democrat to the House since 1964.
What happened? Lancaster County, home to the state capital and the University of Nebraska, offers some clues.
In 2020, Fortenberry won the district by nearly 22 percentage points, but he lost Lancaster County by less than 1 percentage point. In Tuesday’s special election, the Republican Flood lost Lancaster County by more than 13 percentage points.
In the end, the swing wasn’t enough to move a heavily-Republican district, but Democrats could look to the results for hope that the Roe decision will be a significant motivator for the Democratic base.
Incidentally, Fortenberry was sentenced to two years of probation on Tuesday for lying to the FBI. Flood and Pansing Brooks are expected to face off again in the November general election. | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/structure-fire-reported-in-bloomington-wednesday-morning/article_2bb8b5ec-f7c0-11ec-8af0-5379fce9cf15.html | 2022-06-29T16:17:25 | 0 | https://pantagraph.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/structure-fire-reported-in-bloomington-wednesday-morning/article_2bb8b5ec-f7c0-11ec-8af0-5379fce9cf15.html |
SEATTLE — Seattle City Light is on a mission to make owning an electric vehicle more equitable by bringing curbside charging stations to neighborhood streets.
Research from the US Department of Energy shows up to 90% of charging happens at home. But some homes don't have driveways or garages in Seattle's Central District or Queen Anne neighborhoods.
"If you rely entirely on street parking, it's almost impossible to provide your own electric vehicle (EV) charging," said Jacob Orenberg, senior capital projects coordinator at Seattle City Light.
The new pilot program is part of the city's goal to reduce transportation emissions 83% by 2030 and has been a year in the making.
A similar program by National Grid in Melrose Massachusetts helped the team in Seattle lay down the technical framework.
"If we can pull the appropriate power to the location and if there's any bike lanes or transit lanes already planned, we don't want to interfere with that," said Angela Song, team member with Seattle City Light.
So how does it work?
Homeowners and landlords who either own an electric vehicle or plan to own one in the next 12 months can submit a request for one of 30 curbside charging stations. The city plans to install the level two stations early next year.
Submissions have been open since June 1. The city said they have received more than 300 requests.
"It's going to be tight," said Orenberg who adds selection will be based on community needs. "Is it near condos and apartments? Is it near public amenities like a park or school? Is it near shopping and restaurants?"
While installation won't cost the public anything, the charging fee will be .20 cents per kilowatt equal to about $1.80 a gallon of gas for a similar type vehicle.
With gas prices reaching record highs, it's good news for electric vehicle drivers. Violators could face a $124 fine in neighborhoods where parking is already scarce.
"Yes these spaces will be restricted for EVs only but those EVs that are parking there would have parked somewhere else," said Orenberg who is hopeful the program will be enough for someone thinking about buying an EV to do so.
The pilot is accepting requests through the end of August. | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/curbside-charging-coming-seattle-neighborhoods-why-it-matters/281-b90aa259-b284-4b7c-9ba9-244105b23919 | 2022-06-29T16:19:13 | 0 | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/curbside-charging-coming-seattle-neighborhoods-why-it-matters/281-b90aa259-b284-4b7c-9ba9-244105b23919 |
DALLAS (KDAF) — Fourth of July weekend is fastly approaching but before that, midweek is still taking place and a warming trend is expected before the long weekend takes place.
The National Weather Service center in Fort Worth says North Texans will see mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower to mid 90s with winds from the east ranging from 5-10 mph. “A warming trend will begin today as an upper level ridge strengthens overhead. Highs in the lower to mid 90s are expected today, followed by mid to upper 90s on Thursday.”
As night falls, clouds will partly cover the sky as lows set in ranging from the upper 60s to mid 70s with light southeast winds. Before Friday arrives, Thursday will see some isolated thunderstorms across the southeast portion of North Texas.
“Rain chances will arrive across the southeast on Thursday as a swath of Gulf moisture moves into the area. Severe storms are not expected, but a few strong storms with brief heavy rain and frequent lightning may occur,” the center said. | https://cw33.com/news/local/midweek-north-texas-forecast-to-bring-warming-trend-ahead-of-4th-of-july-weekend/ | 2022-06-29T16:22:29 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/local/midweek-north-texas-forecast-to-bring-warming-trend-ahead-of-4th-of-july-weekend/ |
MIDLAND COUNTY, Mich. (WJRT) - Police say a Midland man died after his motorcycle collided with a pickup truck in Midland County on Tuesday evening.
Michigan State Police say 52-year-old Gerald Sian was riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Meridian Road around 5:40 p.m. when he collided with a Ford Ranger near Young Road.
An ambulance rushed Sian to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead of his injuries. The 64-year-old Midland man who was driving the Ford Ranger did not report any serious injuries.
Michigan State Police did not say what caused the collision Wednesday morning. Investigators will continue looking into the crash and forward reports to the Midland County Prosecutor's Office. | https://www.abc12.com/news/local/52-year-old-motorcyclist-dies-after-collision-with-pickup-truck/article_ba19dbbc-f7b7-11ec-b1f7-0f7b43eaeeb5.html | 2022-06-29T16:23:11 | 1 | https://www.abc12.com/news/local/52-year-old-motorcyclist-dies-after-collision-with-pickup-truck/article_ba19dbbc-f7b7-11ec-b1f7-0f7b43eaeeb5.html |
HERNANDO BEACH, Fla. — Editor's note: The image above is a stock photo.
Hernando deputies say a woman could be facing animal cruelty charges after leaving her dog in a hot car for eight hours.
Around 10 p.m. Saturday, deputies responded to Linda Pedersen Park in Hernando Beach after receiving a call about a dog alone in a car.
The caller, who spotted the animal in the car around 2 p.m., reportedly told deputies that the dog was still there when he returned from fishing at 10 p.m. He added that all the windows were closed except for the driver's side window, which was cracked slightly, according to the sheriff's office.
The outdoor temperature during that time reached 95 degrees.
Deputies say they immediately removed the dog from the car through a previously damaged window that was sealed with plastic sheeting. They said the animal had defecated throughout the car's interior.
The owner of the dog, a 49-year-old woman, reportedly returned while deputies were still on scene. According to the sheriff's office, she told them she left the park around 2 p.m. to ride with her boyfriend to make DoorDash and GrubHub food deliveries in Wesley Chapel.
The owner said neither company allows dogs in the car while working.
Animal enforcement officers responded to the park to take custody of the dog and complete a fitness petition. The sheriff's office says an arrest warrant for the dog's owner is forthcoming on a charge of animal cruelty.
So far this year, there have been at least 23 reports of animals dying after being left in hot cars, according to PETA. There have been 168 rescues.
According to Florida law, someone who enters a car, including by force, can be immune from penalty for saving a person — and the law applies to rescuing an animal, too.
Florida is one of 14 states with laws providing protection from lawsuits or charges for people who try to rescue an animal from a hot car, according to data compiled by the Michigan State University Animal Legal & Historical Center.
However, there are steps you need to take to protect yourself from liability. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/hernandocounty/dog-rescue-hot-car-hernando-beach/67-31543fea-4237-49bd-b77e-85ee4d54ed4f | 2022-06-29T16:24:54 | 1 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/hernandocounty/dog-rescue-hot-car-hernando-beach/67-31543fea-4237-49bd-b77e-85ee4d54ed4f |
PASCO COUNTY, Fla — The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services confirms the detection of a giant African land snail in the New Port Richey area of Pasco County.
If you're wondering what harm a snail can do — it's a lot.
This species of snail is known to consume at least 500 different types of plants. Not only will they eat through your backyard, but they could also be nibbling at your home too. The snails can eat the paint and stucco off of a home.
These mollusks can also bring serious health risks to humans. They can carry a parasite rat lungworm, known to cause meningitis in humans. The snails shouldn't be handled without gloves or proper sanitation procedures in place.
According to the state department, the giant African land snail has been eradicated twice in Florida: once in 1975 and then again in 2021.
A quarantine has been enacted to prevent the snails from popping up in other areas. The quarantined area is in a portion of the southwest region of the county.
On Wednesday, the agriculture department will begin treatment of the area for the giant African land snail by use of metaldehyde-based molluscicide, which is snail bait. The treatment is meant for residential use. The state department says property owners inside the treatment area have been notified.
Treatment can be tricky. The snails can bury themselves in soil and stay there for up to one year. They are primarily active at night and hide away in cool, damp places. Giant African land snails can reproduce as young as 4 months old and are able to lay thousands of eggs in its multiple-year life span.
The snail's eggs are pea-sized. Adults can grow more than seven inches in length.
If you think you've seen one of these snails, email a photo of it to DPIHelpline@FDACS.gov to confirm identification. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pascocounty/pasco-county-giant-african-land-snail-sighting/67-5809da02-8f26-472e-bb9d-4570cf05b3bd | 2022-06-29T16:24:58 | 0 | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/local/pascocounty/pasco-county-giant-african-land-snail-sighting/67-5809da02-8f26-472e-bb9d-4570cf05b3bd |
Alliance City Schools to renovate elementary school soccer field, bus garage
ALLIANCE – Two renovation projects are in the works at Alliance City Schools facilities.
A new soccer field will be installed at Alliance Elementary School on South Rockhill Avenue. The district plans to complete a $1.3 million project to replace the existing field's sod turf with synthetic turf.
Cheyanne Gonzales, communications liaison for the school district, said in an email that the project will be paid through a variety of funds, which might include coronavirus relief funds.
The soccer field has been used for more than 20 years. It is used by second- and third-grade students at Alliance Elementary School, as well as high school age students enrolled in soccer programs.
The project is expected to be finished by Oct. 31.
The work will be carried out by The Vasco Group, a sports construction company based in Massillon.
"We are looking forward to this being another field that the community can use to promote and encourage youth to play soccer," said Alliance City Schools Superintendent Rob Gress in a prepared statement.
Another project is expected to take place at the bus garage at 326 Walker Ave.
The district plans to add a 6,800-square-foot building and a 1,200-square-foot building to the bus garage, according to plans submitted to the city.
Todd Rainsberg of Sol Harris/Day Architecture said during a recent Alliance Planning Commission meeting that the project will allow the district to expand offices, restrooms and maintenance space and storage areas at the garage.
"There is no plans for addition tobus fleet. This will allow the district to maintain more buses at one time," he said.
The proposed project received conditional approval from the Planning Commission, with a contingency that the district submits a detailed landscaping plan within the next 90 days.
The project is expected to be completed by August 2023.

CONKLIN, N.Y. (AP) — A missing golden retriever named Lilah, discovered deep inside a culvert pipe in upstate New York, could not be lured out by her owner with peanut butter dog treats or cheese.
In the end, State Trooper Jimmy Rasaphone decided to crawl about 15 feet (5 meters) into the pipe under a rural road to rescue Lilah, despite the extremely tight fit.
“He crouched down and literally disappeared into the hole with a lead that had a choker on it,” said Lilah’s owner, Rudy Fuehrer, who called 911 for help on Sunday morning. “He was able somehow to manipulate his arms and get the choker around the dog’s head.”
The trooper and retriever both emerged soaking wet, but safe.
The 13-year-old dog had been missing since Friday afternoon. Fuehrer was walking his two other dogs — both Lilah’s offspring — a few hundred feet down the road from his house Sunday when he heard a plaintive yelp.
“I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s Lilah!’” he recalled Tuesday.
Fuehrer, who lives near Binghamton, tried the get the weary and confused dog out but eventually called 911.
Rasaphone and his partner showed up within minutes. Rasaphone said he’d go into the pipe since he was the smallest of the three of them. Fuehrer estimates the pipe’s diameter was under 2 feet (60 centimeters). He was able to pull Lilah out after Rasaphone emerged.
Fuehrer said he was grateful Rasaphone had the compassion and initiative to go nose-to-nose with his dog in a drainage pipe.
And he said Lilah is recovering nicely and out walking.
“Needless to say, I took her out on a leash,” he said, “because I didn’t want any more escapades.” | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/ny-state-trooper-crawls-into-drainage-pipe-to-rescue-missing-dog/ | 2022-06-29T16:29:53 | 0 | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/ny-state-trooper-crawls-into-drainage-pipe-to-rescue-missing-dog/ |

Investigators are working to figure out what caused a large fire Wednesday at a bus garage used by Richmond Public Schools.
The fire was at 1903 Chamberlayne Ave. Crews arrived at about 6:30 a.m. to find heavy smoke and flames, said Richmond Fire Department spokeswoman Amy Vu.
A second alarm brought more crews to the scene, and the fire was brought under control after about an hour, she said.
A person believed to be a school district employee was able to get out of the building safely. No injuries were reported.
Here's how much a noise violation penalty could cost under a plan being proposed by Mayor Levar Stoney.
Several streets were closed. Thick smoke from the fire could be seen throughout the area.
The school district is leasing the building and a connected warehouse with multiple bays that is used for maintenance, Vu said. At least four school buses, two other vehicles and a bus outside of the structure were damaged beyond repair.
Numerous reports of explosions were head in the area, but Vu said there were no signs of explosions on the scene.

"At this time, we cannot say whether foul play was suspected or not," Vu said.
A city building inspector is determining if the building is a complete loss.

ARLINGTON, Texas — A man who got caught with a machine gun converter device for his pistol has been convicted on a gun charge in a Fort Worth federal court, officials announced.
Keidric Brown, 25, was found guilty of possessing a machine gun, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
Officials said an Arlington police officer pulled Brown over on Jan. 17 after seeing that his insurance had expired.
The officer then "noted the smell of marijuana" and began searching Brown's car, the news release said.
As she searched the car, she found a Glock 9mm pistol under the driver's seat. The gun had a 31-round high-capacity magazine with a red plastic switch attached to the back of the gun's slide, officials said.
When the gun was tested by an officer with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the officer "concluded it was a machine gun that fired in a fully-automatic fashion," the news release said.
Federal law classifies switch-equipped Glocks as machine guns, which are mostly banned for civilians under the National Firearms Act.
Investigators also searched Brown's phone, finding texts about the purchase of a Glock switch.
During Brown's trial, prosecutors played Brown's rap videos, which contained lyrics about "My Glock, it came with a switch" and "I aim, I don't miss," the news release said.
Judge Reed O'Connor found Brown guilty in a bench trial. Brown's sentencing date has not been announced.
“I cannot stress enough how dangerous machine gun conversion devices are and the levels at which they are being used in our communities," said Jeffrey C. Boshek II, the ATF's Dallas Field Division's special agent in charge.
Boshek earlier this month told WFAA that the rise of machine gun converters are "the scariest thing I've seen in my time as an ATF agent."
Boshek said the device kits can be imported from China and made at home in under an hour with a 3D printer.
The device makes a gun unstable so that even trained ATF SWAT members have trouble controlling it. Boshek said a suspect firing one into a crowd sends bullets flying everywhere, and that scenario happened recently in a shooting in Deep Ellum in May. Five people were shot, and some of them were innocent bystanders.
"It makes it a fully automatic machine gun," Boshek said. "So, instead of pulling the trigger once for each shot, you hold the trigger once and the whole magazine will go out." | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/north-texas-keidric-brown-man-who-had-a-machine-gun-converter-and-rapped-about-it-gets-convicted/287-b364d69e-597c-4efa-a15f-4105d7ad34e8 | 2022-06-29T16:44:21 | 0 | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/north-texas-keidric-brown-man-who-had-a-machine-gun-converter-and-rapped-about-it-gets-convicted/287-b364d69e-597c-4efa-a15f-4105d7ad34e8 |
TEXAS, USA — A man who was acquitted for murder by reason of insanity has escaped a state hospital in Vernon, Texas, according to police.
Alexander Scott Ervin, 29, escaped from the North Texas State Hospital and hasn't been seen since Sunday.
Surveillance footage shows Ervin escaped from his room Sunday night, then was seen scaling an 8-foot security fence around 9:15 p.m. He was last seen heading north.
Ervin is described as standing between 5 feet 8 inches tall and 6 feet. He's approximately 206 pounds, bald and has a mustache. He was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, black shirt and tan pants with black shoes.
Vernon police say Ervin is armed and dangerous.
Ervin was acquitted of stabbing his father to death in 2013 in the Austin area, claiming that his father, Ray Ervin, was an imposter. He also claimed to be a trained member of the CIA on a mission to kill his father, according to testimony from his brother Maxwell Ervin.
Maxwell said Alexander attacked their dad with a pipe wrench and a folding knife. When police arrived at the home, they found Alexander calm and quiet, but scratched, beaten and covered in blood, according to the Austin American-Statesmen.
A Travis County jury found Alexander Ervin, who is autistic, not guilty of murder by reason of insanity.

No charges will be filed against police officers who shot and killed a man who investigators said cut himself and was holding a broken glass bottle in Ventnor, New Jersey, in 2020.
A grand jury made the decision to not file charges against the three officers who shot and killed 30-Year-Old Amir Johnson of Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. The grand jury’s decision was made public Tuesday by the state attorney general’s office.
According to the AG’s investigation, officers from the Ventnor and Atlantic City police departments responded to a call of a man acting erratically near Wellington Avenue and West End Avenue in August of 2020.
When they arrived, Johnson was walking in and out of a marshy area near the roadway. Johnson had self-inflicted cuts to his arms and neck as he held a broken glass bottle, according to the investigation.
The investigation concluded that police offered Johnson assistance, but he refused. Police said the man continued to walk in and out of the roadway, which they closed down. For several minutes the man threated to inflict additional self-harm, according to the AG’s investigation.
One officer tried to deploy a Taser, which the investigation said was unsuccessful. According to the investigation, police officers said Johnson was near a vehicle occupied by civilians when he rapidly advanced at officers with the broken bottle in his hand.
Three officers fired their weapons, shooting Johnson multiple times. He was rushed by ambulance to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s Atlantic City campus, where he was pronounced dead.

The grand jury found that the actions of officers Michael Arena, Pierluigi Mancuso and Robert Scarborough should not result in criminal charges.
A 2019 law requires the attorney general’s office to conduct an investigation if a person dies during an encounter with police or if they're in police custody. The law also requires the evidence to be taken to a grand jury to determine if there should be an indictment against the officers involved. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/no-charges-for-officers-who-shot-killed-man-in-ventnor-in-2020/3285276/ | 2022-06-29T16:51:34 | 0 | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/no-charges-for-officers-who-shot-killed-man-in-ventnor-in-2020/3285276/ |
Police are searching for a gunman who they say killed another driver in a road rage shooting in Delaware County Wednesday morning.
The shooting happened on State Road (Route 1) near Meetinghouse Lane in Springfield, Pennsylvania, around 9 a.m.
The Delaware County District Attorney's Office said the victim was taken to the hospital where they later died.
The suspect left the scene in a black SUV, District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said.
Law enforcement officials are asking for the public's help in locating that black vehicle. There wasn’t an immediate description of the driver, the DA said.
Springfield Police Department tweeted that although the suspects left the shooting scene, “there is no current danger to the community.”
SkyForce10 was overhead as the police activity surrounding a white sedan and truck closed State Road.
Stollsteimer said preliminary information states the shooting started at West Springfield and State roads and ended up at Meetinghouse Lane.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The American Red Cross on Wednesday offered safety tips for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Whether you're planning a day at the beach, launching fireworks, or just having a backyard picnic, the American Red Cross wants to you enjoy your celebration safely.
Here are the organization's safety tips:
FIREWORKS SAFETY
The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public firework show put on by professionals, the Red Cross said. Many states outlaw most fireworks. If you do attend a professional show, stay at least 500 feet away from the launching area.
The Red Cross advises you to leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks.
If you are setting fireworks off at home, follow these safety steps:
- Never give fireworks to small children, and never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.
- Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.
- Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.
- Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight "a dud."
- Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.
PICNIC SAFETY
- Wash your hands before preparing the food.
- Don’t leave food out in the hot sun. Keep perishable foods in a cooler with plenty of ice or freezer gel packs.
- If you are going to cook on the grill, never grill indoors. Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches or anything that could catch fire.
- Always supervise the grill when in use. Don’t add charcoal starter fluid when coals have already been ignited. Use the long-handled tools especially made for cooking on the grill to keep the chef safe.
- Make sure everyone, including pets, stays away from the grill.
BEACH SAFETY
Watch the weather and get out of the water at the first sign of lightning or the rumble of thunder. Stay indoors and away from water for 30 minutes after the last lightning flashes or thunder roars. Plan ahead for aquatic activities:
- Swim only at a beach with a lifeguard, within the designated swimming area. Obey all instructions and orders from lifeguards and ask them about local conditions.
- Always designate a “water watcher” whose sole responsibility is to keep a close eye and constant attention on everyone in and around the water until the next water watcher takes over.
- Children, inexperienced swimmers, and all boaters should wear properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets.
- Protect your neck – don’t dive in headfirst. Walk carefully into open waters. Watch out for and avoid aquatic life.
- If you are caught in a rip current, stay calm and don’t fight it. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. Then, turn and swim to shore. If you can't swim to shore, float or tread water until you are free of the rip current and then head toward shore. Draw attention to yourself by waving and calling for help. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/american-red-cross-offers-tips-for-celebrating-july-4-safely/521-ca1f9813-73e0-4f34-add5-7451af1a34b5 | 2022-06-29T16:52:19 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/american-red-cross-offers-tips-for-celebrating-july-4-safely/521-ca1f9813-73e0-4f34-add5-7451af1a34b5 |
CARLISLE, Pa. — Dickinson College will partner with the American University of Sharjah (AUS) for a virtual exchange program.
The Stevens Institute announced on Wednesday that AUS is one of its newest grantees to receive funding for virtual programs between young people in the United States and the Middle East and North Africa.
AUS's program, which is partnering with Dickinson College, gives undergraduate college students in the United Arab Emirates and the United States the tools to transform their local and global contexts into more sustainable communities.
Participants in the program receive hands on experience tackling issues that they otherwise would not engage with in their everyday lives.
“Virtual exchange can be very effective in creating immersive experiences that leave a lasting and meaningful impression," said Kristina Katsos, the Program Manager of the TSP and Instructor in the Department of International Studies of the American University of Sharjah.
"With the TSP grant, we are looking forward to engaging, challenging, and enriching bright young minds across the world on all aspects of Sustainable Development."
Dickinson College defines their teaching system as a focus on global education and study of the environment and sustainability. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/dickinson-college-exchange-program-united-states-middle-east-north-africa/521-3636fc34-71e5-44d4-b4e9-b19b1478e60d | 2022-06-29T16:52:25 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/dickinson-college-exchange-program-united-states-middle-east-north-africa/521-3636fc34-71e5-44d4-b4e9-b19b1478e60d |
LANCASTER, Pa. — A Fine Wine & Good Spirits store in downtown Lancaster that was closed for nearly a month will re-open Friday, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board announced.
The store, located at 252 N. Queen St., had been closed for renovations since May 30, the PLCB said.
It will be open for business again at 9 a.m. on Friday.
Its weekly hours will be from 11 a.m to 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, according to the PLCB.
The store will remain closed Sundays.
Additional locations and store hours can be found at FWGS.com.
The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol in Pennsylvania, operates 600 wine and spirits stores statewide, and licenses 20,000 alcohol producers, retailers, and handlers.
The PLCB also works to reduce and prevent dangerous and underage drinking through partnerships with schools, community groups, and licensees. Taxes and store profits – totaling nearly $18.7 billion since the agency’s inception – are returned to Pennsylvania’s General Fund, which finances Pennsylvania’s schools, health and human services programs, law enforcement, and public safety initiatives, among other important public services.
The PLCB also provides financial support for the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, other state agencies, and local municipalities across the state.

LANCASTER, Pa. — A Lancaster County woman convicted of exposing herself outside Lancaster County Prison last year will serve up to a year in prison after a sentencing hearing earlier this month, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Elisabell Berrios, 36, of Elizabethtown, was convicted of a misdemeanor count of open lewdness after a trial on June 17, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office. The jury deliberated for eight minutes before rendering its verdict.
Lancaster County Judge Thomas Sponaugle sentenced her to a prison term of two months to a year at a recent hearing, prosecutors said.
According to evidence presented at trial, officers responding to a call at the intersection of North Franklin and East Orange streets at 10:19 p.m. on Sept. 16, 2021 found Berrios lying on the hood of a silver Volkswagen sedan, with two young children in the back seat.
The car was parked in view of the backside of the prison, and inmates could be heard yelling from inside the building, according to police.
A K9 officer who witnessed the incident told responding officers that Berrios had climbed on top of the vehicle and exposed her breasts, resulting in increased yelling from inmates inside the prison.
An investigation determined Berrios was at the prison to see a specific inmate who was in jail for a separate case involving her.
During the time where she was exposing herself, the children with Berrios were running around the car and swinging from nearby road signs, according to the officer who witnessed the incident.
Assistant District Attorney Fritz Haverstick, who prosecuted the case, argued that Berrios showed no remorse, was belligerent toward the responding officers, and bragged about her behavior afterward.
Haverstick then stated jail time was warranted, to which Judge Sponaugle agreed, according to the DA's Office.
Defense argued that jail time was not warranted as Berrios needed to care for her children, but Sponaugle disagreed.
“I don’t think people are able to use their children as shields from going to jail,” Sponaugle said.
Sponaugle also mentioned the fact it was around 10:30 p.m. on a Thursday, which was a school night, and the defendant drove all the way from Elizabethtown to expose herself at the prison with her children in the car.
Lancaster City Bureau of Police Officer Charley Darkes-Burkey filed charges. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/lancaster-county/woman-who-exposed-her-breasts-outside-lancaster-county-prison-last-year-will-serve-up-to-a-year-in-prison-herself/521-9a9525c6-f87d-43a1-96d3-aa304c9c701a | 2022-06-29T16:52:38 | 1 | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/lancaster-county/woman-who-exposed-her-breasts-outside-lancaster-county-prison-last-year-will-serve-up-to-a-year-in-prison-herself/521-9a9525c6-f87d-43a1-96d3-aa304c9c701a |

Plano-based First Guaranty Mortgage Corp. laid off the majority of its staff on Friday.
The mortgage lender terminated 428 of its 565 employees who work for its Plano office, according to a notice the company provided to the Texas Workforce Commission. Some of those employees work remotely from out of state, according to the letter.
The notice said the layoffs were caused by “significant operating losses and cash flow challenges due to unforeseen historical adverse market conditions for the mortgage lending industry, including unanticipated market volatility.”
Additionally, the notice said recent efforts to obtain funding that could have prevented the layoff have been unsuccessful.

There’ll be no shortage of caffeine in Casper anytime soon. Currently listed online, there’s over 25 different coffee places scattered around the city. Downtown alone features four spots to get a cup of joe, and three more on the way, all within walking distance of each other.
With more coffee shops popping up left and right, here’s a short refresher of downtown’s lineup:
Metro
While Metro Coffee Company wasn’t the first coffee store in downtown Casper, it’s the longest standing one, first opening its doors in 2002. Additionally, Metro has established three locations in the City of Casper since the current owner, Sean Peverley bought the company in 2017.
Descriptions of the shops according to Peverley included having a lounge, laid back and home feel. While two of the stores also offer drive-through, inside features couches, murals and hours that last until 10:00 p.m. The locations are especially popular among local teens and students, but whether it’s for studying or just hanging out varies.
People are also reading…
“As far as competition, I feel like we’ve separated from that,” Peverley said. “Other places are eating each other up and I don’t think Metro’s taking much of a hit on any of that stuff because we’re established.”
Today, Metro is currently the top result when looking up “Casper coffee shops” on Google.
“I wish you luck,” Peverley said about watching other coffee shops pop up. “I don’t ever feel like it’s a competition per say. It’s just a matter of if you can run a better shop… if you think it’s easy, do it to it. We work pretty hard to get what we get.”
The Perfect Cup
Located about a block away from Metro on West First Street is The Perfect Cup, a coffee hut established in 2005. Current owner Sierra Harvey first bought the company in December of this year. The hut itself has gone through many changes over the years, including the ones that Harvey has made to the menu, staff and look of the building. It even moved to Sunrise Drive a few years ago, but returned downtown.
“It’s the perfect spot for the Perfect Cup,” added barista Madisen Stein from inside the hut.
Harvey laughed and agreed, but joked that she wished it was just five more feet to the left.
“I don’t really think of coffee as competition,” she said. “I think coffee’s part of the community and you know, everyone has their different preferences. I believe every coffee shop in Casper has their own unique things that they offer.”
While most of the shops were able to describe what their atmosphere felt like, Harvey said that coffee huts were a whole different ball game. She originally went to classify the shop as “friendly,” but added that it was so much more than that. Those who visited set the vibe.
“My customers are honestly one of the best parts about this,” Harvey said. “And all my regulars, I would say 85% of the people who come through here, I could start making their drink before they go to the window… we’re ever changing and ever evolving.”
Scarlow’s Gallery, Art & Coffee
Back on Second Street is Scarlow’s Gallery, Art & Coffee. It sits right next door to Goedicke’s Custom Framing & Art Supply, a business that has been around for 70 years, and they’re connected by a doorway in the middle of the wall between the two.
The current owner of both stores, Claire Marlow, bought Goedicke’s back in 2013, but then introduced the coffee bar as a part of the art gallery side in 2019.
“I knew that space was pretty special, so it’s been nice to share that,” Marlow said. “People just enjoy how the space makes them feel and that was definitely my intent, having that be an art gallery for six years before I opened the coffee.”
The space was described as light, airy and quiet by Marlow, with an emphasis on art and a tentative “no-blenders” policy. Nothing against smoothies, Marlow said, just an effort to maintain the chosen ambience. Coffee wise, the focus remains on traditional technique, a style that she said fits more of a European feel.
“We offer something totally different than everybody else and I think that will sustain us,” Marlow said. “We’re not trying to do a million drinks. We’re not trying to do blenders or red bull, which is fine. We just wanted to create a different model than what was already down here… We’re really focused on the perfect espresso shot every time.”
The Bourgeois Pig
The Bourgeois Pig first opened up around the same time as Scarlow’s, back in 2019. The building previously belonged to Crescent Moon Coffee Stop, a shop that opened in 2017, but shut down after about a year and a half.
Often, the shop hosts events open to the public such as concerts from local musicians, meet-ups for groups and other types of shows. The walls of the building feature posters from a wide range of timelines, hanging lights and lamps and many different cushioned couches.
The Casper Star-Tribune was not able to reach The Bourgeois Pig for comment by press time.
Coming soon
The newest addition to the downtown coffee lineup is Barbarian Coffee Roasters, taking over the store on South Center Street that previously belonged to Cartoonz. If you look in the windows, the lights are still off, but owner Jon Ramsey said they were aiming to open their doors within the next several weeks.
At the moment, the space will be used exclusively as a roastery, but he and his wife Gayle Ramsey hope to add on a coffee bar later down the line.
Jon currently works part time as an officer with the Casper Police Department and served as a Marine during two tours in Afghanistan. Being a veteran owned business, Jon said that’s where they want their focus to lie too.
“Our main goal, other than selling a good cup of coffee, is being able to give back to the community,” Ramsey said. “We’re hoping to donate a certain percentage of profits through certain organizations and faith based organizations.”
The space doesn’t have a specified atmosphere yet, but photos shared on Facebook feature many different spaces to sit and a large chessboard. And, like all of the different coffee shops around Casper, “we’re really kind of providing a different type of service,” Jon added.
Two more shops to look forward to include The Copper Cup and Scooters. Both will be opening in upcoming months.
“I don’t think there can be too many coffee shops in Casper. Everyone just goes on a rotation, whatever they need,” Harvey remarked. “Because it’s just, what are you feeling today? What time frame do you have? Who do you want to support? Which I think is something really great about Casper.” | https://trib.com/news/local/casper/with-four-shops-already-open-and-three-more-coming-soon-theres-no-shortage-of-coffee/article_0c7e3548-f735-11ec-8352-87b6dd9824de.html | 2022-06-29T17:00:39 | 0 | https://trib.com/news/local/casper/with-four-shops-already-open-and-three-more-coming-soon-theres-no-shortage-of-coffee/article_0c7e3548-f735-11ec-8352-87b6dd9824de.html |

H-E-B Grocery is committing $10 million in funding toward a new elementary school in Uvalde in the wake of the massacre at Robb Elementary School in May that killed 19 children and two teachers.
Following the shooting, city officials said teachers and students would not be asked to return to the campus and that the school building would be torn down.
The company made the announcement Tuesday morning via Twitter. The donation is being made through the Uvalde CISD Moving Forward Foundation.
The Butt family and H-E-B said in a statement that "it's our honor to serve Texas and the great communities throughout the state."
"We know how deeply this tragedy has impacted so many. We are humbled to be able to help our fellow Texans," H-E-B said on Twitter.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a former state trooper to sue Texas over his claim that he was forced out of his job when he returned from Army service in Iraq.
The justices ruled for Army veteran Le Roy Torres under a federal law that was enacted in 1994 in the wake of the Persian Gulf war to strengthen job protections for returning service members.
By a 5-4 vote, the high court rejected Texas' claim that it is shielded from such lawsuits. "Text, history, and precedent show that the States, in coming together to form a Union, agreed to sacrifice their sovereign immunity for the good of the common defense," Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the court.
Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by three other conservative justices, dissented, arguing that "when the States ratified the Constitution, they did not implicitly consent to private damages actions filed in their own courts--whether authorized by Congress' war powers or any other Article I power." Article I refers to the part of the Constitution that spells out Congress' power.
Torres says he suffered lung damage from exposure to open burn pits on his base in Iraq. He spent a year in Iraq and was discharged as a captain after nearly 19 years in the U.S. Army Reserve.
Separately, Congress is nearing final passage of a sweeping expansion of health care and disability benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who were exposed to the open pits that were set ablaze with jet fuel to dispose of tires, batteries, medical waste and other materials.
The state and Torres dispute what happened when he returned to Texas, unable to resume his job as a state trooper because of the damage to his lungs. He eventually resigned and later filed his lawsuit. A state appellate court dismissed it, and the justices stepped in.
Texas News
News from around the state of Texas.
Congress first allowed returning service members to sue states to keep their jobs in 1974, recognizing discrimination because of opposition to the Vietnam War.
In March, the court allowed the Navy to take account of sailors' vaccination status in deciding on deployments, narrowing a lower court order. Three justices, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Thomas, dissented from the high court's order.

Titusville man indicted by grand jury on murder charge; state to decide if it will pursue death penalty
A Brevard grand jury indicted a Titusville man Tuesday on a first-degree murder charge following the death of his girlfriend, a decision that could lead the state to seek the death penalty for him.
Alteric Johnson, 22, was arrested June 2 when Titusville police responded to a call about a man shooting a woman on Willow Street, police said.
They discovered Johnson had attacked Ty'Kara Madden, 21, with a machete, partially amputating her hand. When she ran to a neighbor's house, he shot her, police said, wounding her in the back of her head. She died at a local hospital June 6.
Machete attack:Titusville man charged with murder after woman dies following shooting, machete attack
Gunman fatally shot:Gunman fatally shot by deputies knew at least one of his hostages, Sheriff's Office says
Johnson was initially charged with attempted murder; the charge was upgraded to first-degree murder following Madden's death.
Investigators found that the incident began as an argument between the couple at Johnson's home, where Johnson nearly severed Madden's right hand, the state attorney's office said in a statement.
Her death was ruled a homicide by the Brevard County medical examiner.
The medical examiner, a Titusville police detective and a crime scene investigator testified before the grand jury returned with their indictment, the state attorney's office said.
A trial date has not been set. The state has 45 days to decide if they will pursue the death penalty for Johnson.
Johnson's attorney, Jay Yenor, at the Fifth District Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel did not respond to a request for comment.

INDIANAPOLIS — There's growing concern among many families in Indiana about the future of their right to an abortion following the Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade.
There is big concern from the team at All Options Pregnancy Resource Center in Bloomington, an organization that helps families with both parenting and pregnancy options, and they're now worried they'll lose their option to help families navigate abortion.
The center said they've received an increase in calls since Friday's ruling, with families needing help with abortion funding.
Most of these families already have kids of their own and are early on in their pregnancy, but they have questions as to what will happen if restrictions take place in the Hoosier state. Those questions include if families will lose their rights to an abortion and if there will be criminal charges for the centers or clinics helping people navigate their options.
If the state does decide to move forward with restrictions, the center says it may force families to travel to other states, requiring other resources for help.
"We will be leaning more heavily on each other with funds and with practical networks, and we'll certainly need more people supporting practical support. That means giving rides or providing hotels and meals, things like that if people have to travel," said Jessica Marchbank, with All Options Pregnancy Resources.
Right now, it is still legal to get an abortion in Indiana. Neighboring states Kentucky and Ohio have already put in place some form of ban or are likely to soon.
Another question still up in the air is if there could be criminal charges for traveling to another state where abortion is legal to have the procedure.
Gov. Eric Holcomb has called a special session for July 6, during which the state legislature is expected to pass some form of abortion ban. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/pregnancy-resource-center-concerned-indiana-abortion-law-following-roe-v-wade/531-bd071105-2c00-4018-b5f8-fce3a30cccfe | 2022-06-29T17:03:36 | 1 | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/pregnancy-resource-center-concerned-indiana-abortion-law-following-roe-v-wade/531-bd071105-2c00-4018-b5f8-fce3a30cccfe |

OVIEDO, Fla. – The Oviedo Police Department shared new details in a road rage shooting that critically injured a woman Tuesday evening.
The department said Keegan Johnson, 22, was arrested in the shooting near State Road 434 and Alexandria Boulevard.
[TRENDING: Loud music and take-out alcohol. Here are all the new Florida laws going into effect | Florida dominates list of best East Coast beach towns | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
According to police, Johnson was a passenger in a vehicle driven by a 23-year-old woman, who began “aggressively honking” behind the victim’s vehicle at a red light.
When the light turned green, the department said the vehicles traveled south on SR-434 and the 23-year-old driver “overtook the victim vehicle.” The victim’s vehicle approached the other vehicle at the next light and came up next to it “occupying the same lane and the bike lane,” according to police.
Oviedo police said the victim, Johnson and the other driver began arguing. During the argument, the 41-year-old woman got out of her vehicle and continued arguing next to the other car.
According to a release, the other driver and Johnson threw water bottles and a can at the woman. The woman threw the can back inside the vehicle and Johnson fired two shots toward the woman.
Officers said the vehicle drove off, but the two waited for law enforcement to arrive near Chapman Road and Rawlson Lane.
The police department said Johnson told officers he fired at the woman after she began punching him. However, police said his statement was not consistent with what witnesses said happened and cell phone video taken during the incident.
Oviedo police said “there do not appear to be any additional strikes/punches” made by the victim when officers reviewed cell phone video captures by a nearby driver.
The 23-year-old woman driving the vehicle Johnson was in has not been arrested.
Johnson faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and attempted homicide. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/29/oviedo-police-release-new-details-in-road-rage-shooting-that-critically-injured-woman/ | 2022-06-29T17:05:49 | 1 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/29/oviedo-police-release-new-details-in-road-rage-shooting-that-critically-injured-woman/ |
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Stroll down the stairwell from the second-story Moon Room at Pineapples in Eau Gallie, and you’ll encounter an MTV-themed mural of an astronaut holding a flag on the lunar surface amid a cosmic backdrop.
Look closely: The astronaut’s spacesuit bears the name “S. Young” — and he sports a distinctive goatee behind his helmet visor.
[TRENDING: Loud music and take-out alcohol. Here are all the new Florida laws going into effect | Florida dominates list of best East Coast beach towns | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
Life imitates art for Pineapples owner Steve Young, who opened the Highland Avenue three-story restaurant-bar-music venue in April 2021.
The longtime Indialantic resident, who recently sold the telecommunications-installation giant Y-Com, has been selected for a seat on a future Blue Origin rocket-capsule trip into space, according to News 6 partner Florida Today.
“With the sale of the company came lots of stupid money. And with stupid money, you can do stupid things,” Steve Young said during an interview in his restaurant, Pineapples, in Eau Gallie.
Check out the Florida Foodie podcast. You can find every episode in the media player below:
“I have always been a bit of a braggart-slash-showoff. And what’s better than to be able to say you went to space when your buddies can’t?” he asked, laughing.
Young, 59, has been confirmed as a customer aboard a future flight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, said Sara Blask, company spokesperson.
New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket that launches from a spaceport pad outside rural Van Horn, Texas, and climbs 62 miles above the Earth’s surface beyond the Kármán line — delivering its passengers several minutes of weightlessness. Then the parachute-equipped, fully autonomous capsule descends to the West Texas desert.
Previous New Shepard space tourism passengers include Amazon-Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, “Star Trek” icon William Shatner and “Good Morning America” co-anchor Michael Strahan.
Blue Origin successfully completed its fifth human spaceflight on June 4. The six-person crew included former NASA test lead Katya Echazarreta, who became the first Mexican-born woman to fly into space.
Young’s flight date has not been announced. Neither have the identities of Young’s five fellow crew members, Blask said.
He did not divulge how much his seat cost aboard the rocket.
Young designed Pineapples, a three-story dining-entertainment venue with rooftop deck, as a modern version of the long-defunct Dr. Joe’s Intra-Coastal next door. The business employs about 120 workers as an economic anchor of downtown Eau Gallie.
His father, Gene, and uncle Bill founded Young’s TV Cable in 1972 in Melbourne. After Steve Young graduated from Melbourne High in 1981, he went into the business and ascended to the top leadership position by the early 1990s, expanding and evolving Y-Com into a fiber optics-installation giant.
“I took a $1 million annual company and turned it into $100 million,” Young said.
“We are the largest telecom contractor in the state of Florida. And the new owners are taking it to new heights,” he said.
Young completed the sale of Y-Com last year. He applied for an astronaut’s seat with Blue Origin in September, then learned he was approved in November.
Since finalizing paperwork in December, he has awaited his launch date announcement — and he was sworn to secrecy until he broke the news Monday on Facebook.
“I have been officially told that I can now share some EXCITING news. I am taking a real life rocket ride into space,” Young said in his post.
In March, Winter Park residents Sharon and Marc Hagle became the first married couple to take a commercial spaceflight aboard Blue Origin’s fourth crewed mission.
Young’s wife, Melodie, will accompany him to West Texas, but she will not fly aboard the rocket. He will initially attend New Shepard briefings, followed by two days of astronaut training.
“Most of that is all spent in the capsule, letting you know what to do in-case-of-this and in-case-of-that. It’s all safety features,” Young said.
“The launch takes place very early in the morning. And then, land — and they have a celebration,” he said.
Young said he is “not nervous at all” about his upcoming launch.
“With all the great minds and all the safety precautions, I feel safer than driving in Miami,” he said. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/29/with-stupid-money-you-can-do-stupid-things-brevard-county-businessman-to-fly-on-blue-origin/ | 2022-06-29T17:05:55 | 1 | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/06/29/with-stupid-money-you-can-do-stupid-things-brevard-county-businessman-to-fly-on-blue-origin/ |
New York Attorney General Letitia James, alongside New York City Mayor Eric Adams, have filed lawsuits against numerous online gun distributors for fueling the gun violence crisis.
In her lawsuit, James invokes a newly enacted Public Nuisance statute to hold 10 gun retailers responsible, alleging that these gun distributors sold tens of thousands of illegal, unfinished frames and receivers to New Yorkers who converted them into what are known as "ghost guns" at home by using basic tools. These "homemade" guns are untraceable due to the fact that the lack serial numbers.
According to James, the gun distributors violated a number of laws by selling weapons to felons and without a background check.
“While families mourned loved ones lost to senseless gun violence, gun sellers avoided accountability for the illegal and dangerous weapons they sold,” James said in a statement. “There should be no more immunity for gun distributors bringing harm and havoc to New York. Today’s lawsuit holds 10 gun sellers accountable for fueling the gun violence crisis and endangering New Yorkers. Illegal guns do not belong on our streets or in our communities and we will use every tool necessary to root them out.”
Through her lawsuit, which was filed in New York County Supreme Court, James wants to prohibit each of the businesses she is suing from selling, shipping, distributing, or supplying unfinished frames or receivers lacking serial numbers to New Yorkers. James is also asking for restitution and damages. Through her lawsuit, James also looks to obtain public corrective statements from the businesses when it comes to what she describes as false and misleading statements as well as omissions on their part.
In addition, James’ lawsuit seeks to require each of the gun distributors to contribute to an abatement fund to eliminate the public nuisance they are accused of, which will also be used to combat the state's gun violence crisis.
The lawsuit comes as New York is grappling with a gun violence, with a major culprit, according to the state, being "ghost guns." New York City said that the NYPD recovered 17 ghost guns in 2018, 48 in 2019, 150 in 2020, 263 in 2021, and has already recovered 180 this year as of June 26 — a 181% increase over the same time period last year.
Simultaneously, Adams filed his own lawsuit in federal court against five of the same online gun distributors as James.
“We are not going to let gun companies turn New York City into a city of mail-order murder,” Adams said. “Whether they are hidden in the trunks of cars or packed in a plain brown box, ghost guns are illegal in our city, and we will take every lawful action possible to stop gun retailers from profiting at the expense of the safety of our city. That’s why, this morning, the City of New York filed its own lawsuit against five online gun retailers that are illegally selling and delivering ghost gun components to addresses here in this city. We will not stand by while illegal operators flout the law, endanger our communities, and kill our young people.”
New York City is asking the court to issue a preliminary injunction and order the gun distributors to immediately stop selling ghost guns into New York City. According to the city, although it has been illegal to sell ghost guns into the Big Apple since February 2020, a Sheriff Office’s undercover investigation revealed that the five gun distributors being sued by the city continue to ignore the city’s restrictions.
The NYPD announced earlier this month that there was a slight increase in gun arrests compared to the same time period last year, a continued upward trend in gun arrests that is at a 28-year high.
"There were 414 gun arrests in May 2022, bringing the total number of citywide gun arrests in 2022 to 2,007 – a 4.4% increase compared with the 1,923 gun arrests through the first five months of 2021," the NYPD said earlier this month when releasing their latest data for the month of May. "In its continuing work to eradicate gun violence, the NYPD has seized approximately 3,080 firearms so far in 2022, at a time when its gun arrests are at a 28-year high."
While there has been an increase in gun arrests, there has been a reduction in shootings last month, compared to the same time period last year. The NYPD attributed this to the rollout of the new Neighborhood Safety teams, the NYPD's Gun Violence Suppression Division, and the Ghost Gun Team of the department's Criminal Intelligence Section, which all continue to intersect illegal firearms coming into the city though what the department calls the "iron pipeline" as well as the "plastic pipeline."
Adams said that these weapons are "being used by murderers."
This latest development comes mere days after the Supreme Court of the United States struck down a New York law that regulated who is allowed to carry a concealed weapon in public, expanding gun rights nationwide at a time when the country is reeling from a series of recent mass shooting. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/ny-ag-adams-sue-national-gun-distributors-for-fueling-gun-violence-epidemic/3755020/ | 2022-06-29T17:06:04 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/ny-ag-adams-sue-national-gun-distributors-for-fueling-gun-violence-epidemic/3755020/ |
Yavapai County deputy fatally shot in Cordes Lakes identified; suspect in custody
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office deputy who died after being shot on Tuesday in Cordes Lakes has been identified as 51-year-old Richard Lopez, known as "Arlo."
Lopez was trying to detain a person suspect of theft when he was shot, Sheriff David Rhodes said in a press conference late Tuesday. It is unclear exactly what led to the shooting.
"We don't have a lot of facts about what happened at that time," Rhodes said.
Members of the community called 911 and said an officer was in distress. When deputies responded, they found Lopez unresponsive and he was taken to a hospital in Phoenix, Rhodes said.
Kristen Green, spokesperson for the sheriff's office, said the deputy died surrounded by loved ones.
The suspect, whose identity hasn't been released, barricaded himself in a home in the area for several hours. Rhodes said the Sheriff's Office detained him with the help of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The suspect was facing first-degree murder charges.
DPS is handling the investigation. More information is expected in the coming days, according to Rhodes.
'Our agency is hurting,' sheriff says
Lopez, a Prescott Valley resident, left a career in management to work in public safety. He had been at the Sheriff's Office for 14 years, Rhodes said. He served as a detective and negotiator on the SWAT team.
"One of the most impressive things though is he was a regular volunteer with shop with a cop, which is one of our biggest fundraisers for at-risk youth and he never missed that," Rhodes said.
Lopez leaves behind a wife and two daughters who Rhodes said were "absolutely devastated." He also said their agency has been very affected by Lopez's loss.
"I can't think of anything low enough to speak of this shooter, of this person who decided to take this life," Rhodes said. "We are hurt, our agency is hurting. Absolutely unnecessary."
Arizona's second line of duty death of 2022
Lopez' death marked the second line of duty death so far this year in Arizona.
White Mountain Apache police Officer Adrian Lopez Sr. was shot and killed on June 2 while conducting a traffic stop on East Fork Road in Whiteriver.
Two Arizona officers were feloniously killed in 2021, which was one less than the year prior, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which collects and compiles the data from various law enforcement agencies across the country.
Those officers were likely Chandler police Officer Christopher Farrar and Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Juan Miguel Ruiz.
During the Tuesday press conference, Rhodes said the violence against law enforcement is escalating and has to stop.
"These are community services, people that are out there serving the community, protecting live, liberty and property, and they do not deserve this," Rhodes said.

Two more people found in a sweltering tractor-trailer on the Southwest Side late Monday have died, bringing the death toll in one of the deadliest human-smuggling incidents in recent history to 53.
Authorities initially said they discovered 46 dead migrants from Mexico and Central America inside the abandoned tractor-trailer, which could fit around 100 people.
Around 16 people were transported to area hospitals — at least five of whom have died, local hospital officials said.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office said 40 of the dead are male and 13 are female. Staff has potentially identified 37 of the victims — though they are working with consulates of Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador to confirm.
The medical examiner’s office has asked for assistance from authorities in Travis and Dallas counties to handle all autopsies in a timely manner.
Police were first called to the scene on Quintana Road near Lackland Air Force Base — a desolate area marred by illegally dumped trash, with at least one salvage yard close by — around 5:50 p.m. Monday. Federal authorities later arrested three people in connection with the deaths.
Homero Zamorano, 45, was arrested after officials say he abandoned the tractor-trailer and fled the scene while high on meth. Zamorano, who has a long criminal history, may appear Wednesday in federal court on human-smuggling charges.
Juan Francisco D’Luna-Bilbao and Juan Claudio D’Luna-Mendez — who were seen leaving an address in San Antonio listed on the tractor-trailer’s registration — were charged with illegal possession of a firearm. It’s not yet clear what role they could have played in the incident.
All three suspects remain in federal custody.
Also on Wednesday, details continued to trickle out about the conditions of individuals who were transported to area hospitals.
- Of the two patients who were transported to University Hospital, a 23-year-old woman remained in fair condition, and an adolescent boy was in critical condition.
- Of the three patients at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan downtown, one male was in critical condition on Wednesday morning, and another male and a female were in serious condition.
- One patient at Texas Vista on the Southwest Side remains in critical but stable condition. Another patient, who was originally transported to the hospital, died overnight, a spokesperson said.
- Of the five patients at Baptist Medical Center downtown, two patients were in critical condition as of Tuesday afternoon. Three other patients have died.

The eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 northwest of downtown between the Fresno Street exit and the Hildebrand Avenue exit are completely shut down due to a major accident, the San Antonio Police Department said in a tweet.
Officials are asking drivers to find an alternate route.
According to Sigalert, drivers should expect delays of up to 30 minutes with stop-and-go traffic congestion as cars are forced off I-10 to the frontage road.
The story will be updated when more details are available.

Parts of the San Antonio area finally received a soaking Tuesday with thunderstorms that knocked out power to about 10,000 CPS Energy customers.
The National Weather Service says not to expect much more rain the rest of the week. Meteorologist Keith White said the weather service doesn't expect storms like the area experienced Tuesday.
White said the chances for rain in San Antonio and Bexar County are low, but there is a 20 to 30 percent chance of rain on Friday.
There is, however, a better chance for isolated and scattered thunderstorms in the eastern portions of South Central Texas through Saturday with minimal impacts, the NWS said.
Officials are keeping an eye on a tropical system off the Texas coast. White said forecasters are unsure if it will develop into a tropical depression but expect it to move northward along the coast. He added that there is a 40 percent chance of development, but it is not expected to have an impact on San Antonio.
The NWS and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are predicting a more active-than-normal Atlantic hurricane season. Fourteen to 21 named storms are predicted, with the potential for three to six of those storms to become category 3 hurricanes or above.
"We are expecting a more active than average hurricane season, but that doesn't mean it will impact our region, but it increases the chances of that happening," White said. "We'll be keeping a close eye on the tropics in hurricane season."
For the rest of the week, most of the region will get a reprieve from the triple-digit temperatures. The high is expected to be 96 degrees on Wednesday. The highs will be 92 and 93 on Thursday and Friday, respectively. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Thunderstorms-San-Antonio-weather-17274060.php | 2022-06-29T17:19:34 | 1 | https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Thunderstorms-San-Antonio-weather-17274060.php |
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Hershel W. “Woody” Williams, the last remaining Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, died Wednesday. He was 98.
Later that year, at age 22, Williams received the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award for military valor, from President Harry Truman at the White House.
“For me, receiving the Medal of Honor was actually the lifesaver because it forced me to talk about the experiences that I had, which was a therapy that I didn’t even know I was doing,” Williams said during a 2018 Boy Scouts recognition ceremony in Fairmont, according to the Times West Virginian.
Iwo Jima was where Marines planted the American flag on Mount Suribachi, a moment captured in one of the most iconic war photographs in history. Williams said he saw the flag from a distance after it went up as troops around him celebrated.
Williams’ actions in battle to clear the way for American tanks and infantry were detailed on the military’s Medal of Honor website: He was “quick to volunteer his services when our tanks were maneuvering vainly to open a lane for the infantry through the network of reinforced concrete pillboxes, buried mines, and black volcanic sands. Williams daringly went forward alone to attempt the reduction of devastating machinegun fire from the unyielding positions.”
Facing small-arms fire, Williams fought for four hours, repeatedly returning to prepare demolition charges and obtain flamethrowers.
“His unyielding determination and extraordinary heroism in the face of ruthless enemy resistance were directly instrumental in neutralizing one of the most fanatically defended Japanese strong points encountered by his regiment and aided vitally in enabling his company to reach its objective,” the website said.
Williams remained in the Marines after the war, serving a total of 20 years, before working for the Veterans Administration for 33 years as a veterans service representative.
In 2018, the Huntington VA medical center was renamed in his honor, and the Navy commissioned a mobile base sea vessel in his name in 2020. In February 2018, Williams was joined by 14 other recipients of the Medal of Honor to be honored by the NFL and the nation during the coin toss before the Super Bowl in Minneapolis.
Williams may not have gotten as much attention nationally as Air Force Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager, the flamboyant World War II fighter pilot ace and West Virginia native who became the first person to fly faster than sound in 1947. Yeager died in December 2020. Yet in his home state, Williams was a household name.
“Woody Williams will go down in history as one of the greatest West Virginians who ever lived, and we salute him for everything he gave to our state and our nation,” Gov. Jim Justice said in a statement.
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said Williams “was the embodiment of a true American hero. Americans like Woody answered the call to serve our great nation and their sacrifices allow us to enjoy the freedoms we hold dear.”
Williams was born the youngest of a family of 11 on a dairy farm on Oct. 2, 1923, in the Harrison County community of Quiet Dell. Prior to joining the military, he served in the Civilian Conservation Corps and worked as a teenage taxi driver in Fairmont, sometimes delivering Western Union telegrams to the families of fallen soldiers.
It was that passion that later led Williams and his Louisville, Kentucky-based nonprofit foundation to raise money and establish more than 100 Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments in recognition of relatives of lost service members across the United States, according to his website.
When asked his motivation for the foundation, Williams adopted the motto: “The cause is greater than I.”
“Woody’s family would like to express their sincere gratitude for all of the love and support,” the foundation said in a statement. “They would also like to share that Woody’s wish is that people continue to carry on his mission.”
Although his two older brothers were serving in the Army, Williams wanted to take a different path. He knew some Marines from his area and admired their blue uniforms whenever they returned home. But at 5-foot-6, Williams was rejected because of his height when he tried to join in 1942. A year later, the Marines allowed him in at age 19.
Williams relied on his fiancée, Ruby, to get him through the often anxious times during the war, saying he had to get back to the girl in Fairmont that he was going to marry.
Their marriage lasted 62 years. Ruby Williams died in 2007 at age 83. The couple had two daughters and five grandsons.
Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

HOUSTON — Chevron says it's willing to pay its employees who are willing to relocate to Houston.
Editorial note: The above video is from a related story.
The U.S. oil company is planning to sell its headquarters located at Chevron Park in San Ramon, California, so it can move to a more modern space.
Chevron tells KHOU 11 News that the current real estate market on the West Coast provides the opportunity to find a better suited office space to meet the requirements of its employees based in San Ramon.
Those employees who are voluntarily willing to relocate to Houston, will be compensated for doing so. According to The Wall Street Journal, Chevron will cover moving costs for employees who opt-in.
Chevron says it plans to keep its headquarters in California, so it can maintain its 140-year history of operations and partnerships in the state.
The move is expected to occur in late 2023.
Chevron did not say how many employees it anticipates moving to Houston. Its current downtown Houston office holds about 8,000 employees, which is about triple the size of its operation in California.
Chevron isn't the only one making moves.
Back in January, ExxonMobil announced it was moving its headquarters from North Texas to the Houston area.
The announcement was part of the company’s plan to further streamline its business structure by combining chemical and downstream companies and centralizing technology and engineering.
ExxonMobil said the move from Irving to the Houston area will be completed mid-year 2023.
“We greatly value our long history in Irving and appreciate the strong ties we have developed in the North Texas community,” Darren Woods, chairman and chief executive officer, said. “Closer collaboration and the new streamlined business model will enable the company to grow shareholder value and position ExxonMobil for success through the energy transition.” | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/chevron-paying-employees-to-move-to-texas/285-61b9a0bd-fb07-41a8-a833-d171348bc48a | 2022-06-29T17:23:20 | 1 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/chevron-paying-employees-to-move-to-texas/285-61b9a0bd-fb07-41a8-a833-d171348bc48a |
LARGO, Fla. — A forensics excavation is ongoing at a construction site for a new home after the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office received a tip about a 1980s cold case.
The agency responded Wednesday morning at a location adjacent to the Pinellas Trail and Gooden Crossing.
Dana Hiers – whose mother, Retha, disappeared in 1982 after going out to buy laundry detergent – said the sheriff's office received a tip in recent days that her mother's body may be at the site. She credited 10 Tampa Bay coverage earlier this year that highlighted the case for someone providing a tip.
An aerial view from the Sky 10 helicopter showed several sheriff's office vehicles, including a forensics unit, responded to the scene. Much of the grass in the lot was overturned with dirt as Habitat for Humanity planned to build a home at the site.
The sheriff's office confirmed detectives and forensics are following up on cold cases from the 1970s and 1980s regarding three missing women: Retha Hiers, Margaret Dash and Donyelle Johnson. The suspect, Cleveland Hill, is dead, it added.
Clearwater police, however, later clarified that detectives have no reason to believe Dash is connected to Wednesday morning's excavation.
10 Tampa Bay recently profiled the Retha Hiers case in an episode of "The Missing" with anchor Carolina Leid.
Retha Hiers left her Largo home in 1982 to go to the store and never returned.
“None of it adds up. It is a mystery. I can remember the day at the age of 14 when she disappeared...I can remember her standing at the door waving goodbye that was my last time seeing her,” Dana Hiers told 10 Tampa Bay's Carolina Leid.
Retha's car was found four months later in Clearwater. Investigators say she had an affair with Hill, an asphalt contractor and former minister. Detectives say two other women he dated also disappeared: Dash in 1974, Retha Hiers in 1982, and Johnson vanished in 1989.
Hill was never charged with a crime in the women's disappearances; he was later sentenced to drug trafficking in 1992. Hill was released from prison in 2008 and later died in Virginia.
The sheriff's office said it expects to continue its investigation at the site during the next day or two. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/largo-cold-case-tip-excavation/67-494647de-ea1b-4e6c-a263-d98c5bf48511 | 2022-06-29T17:23:26 | 1 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/largo-cold-case-tip-excavation/67-494647de-ea1b-4e6c-a263-d98c5bf48511 |
ROANOKE, Va. – On Wednesday, Appalachian Power released a statement that advised river-goers to air on the side of caution beginning Thursday.
Downstream of Claytor and Leesville dams, the New River and the Roanoke River, could begin to rise rapidly on Thursday and could continue to fluctuate throughout the week to follow, according to the release.
The statement said that National Weather Service is calling for high temperatures and Appalachian Power may need to increase power generation at its hydroelectric plants to maintain the reliability of electricity across the area.
According to Appalachian Power, below Claytor Dam, water levels could increase up to two feet in a matter of minutes, and water levels below Leesville Dam could increase as much as eight feet in just seven hours.
Those considering hitting the water on Thursday or in days to follow can monitor AEP’s website for additional information regarding water levels and conditions, according to the release. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/06/29/river-goers-beware-appalachian-power-says-water-levels-may-rise-rapidly-starting-thursday/ | 2022-06-29T17:27:12 | 0 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/06/29/river-goers-beware-appalachian-power-says-water-levels-may-rise-rapidly-starting-thursday/ |
SALEM, Va. – In a press release Monday, Roanoke College announced its partnership with Carilion Clinic to provide healthcare across the Roanoke Valley, as well as prepare students for future careers.
Jeanne Armentrout, Carilion Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, talked about how partnerships can make a huge impact, both in communities and in education.
“In many ways, our region’s success has been built on a foundation of partnerships between health care and higher education,” said Armentrout. “Carilion has benefited from hiring many talented Roanoke College graduates in the past. Their skills and abilities, combined with a passion for serving others, make them an excellent fit for our culture and mission.”
According to the press release, the Roanoke College-Carilion Clinic partnership will:
- Utilize Roanoke College’s health-related programs and Carilion’s expanding medical education collaboratives, to address community health, well-being, and the area’s growing community of healthcare professionals.
- Build a pipeline for employees in a non-clinical healthcare setting through internships and technical training that prepares students and graduates for careers, demonstrating Carilion’s and Roanoke College’s position among the founding stakeholders of the Blue Ridge Partnership for Health Science Careers.
- Create ongoing education opportunities at Roanoke College for Carilion employees, expanding on the opportunities that are already available.
- Monitor program goals, including increased placement of non-clinical professionals in growing healthcare careers and career development training for Carilion employees to meet the needs of both organizations and the Roanoke Valley.
Dr. Shannon Anderson, the coordinator of public health studies at Roanoke College, expressed her confidence in the potential success of the program.
“Roanoke College and Carilion Clinic understand the deep connections between health, wellness, education, employment, and the regional economy,” said Dr. Anderson. “The partnership will build on shared goals and values and find ways to serve the needs of the most vulnerable in our community by leveraging the resources of both organizations.”
Roanoke College will also explore the potential impact new majors and programs could address the current and ever-changing needs of health care employers, as well as the growing biomedical and biotechnology ecosystem in the region, the release said.
“This expanding partnership between Roanoke College and Carilion Clinic illuminates the power of higher education and professional health care to support critical community needs through meaningful work,” said Roanoke College President Michael C. Maxey. “There is no greater purpose than serving our communities and fellow citizens. I know President-elect Shushok is committed to regional growth and meeting partnership goals. I am excited to witness the ways Roanoke College and Carilion will carry out this partnership to launch productive careers and serve the growing healthcare sector.” | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/06/29/roanoke-college-partners-with-carilion-clinic-to-advance-education-workforce-development/ | 2022-06-29T17:27:22 | 1 | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/06/29/roanoke-college-partners-with-carilion-clinic-to-advance-education-workforce-development/ |
The mother and brother of a 7-year-old Bronx girl who died at a hospital, where she was brought with trauma to her face and right side of her body, last year were arrested Wednesday on murder with depraved indifference and other charges in the disturbing case, according to three law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation.
Julissia Batties was taken to Lincoln Hospital on Aug. 10, 2021, after cops responding to a 911 call at her Alexander Avenue apartment found her unconscious. She was pronounced dead within an hour. At the time, doctors told police Batties had dilated pupils and apparent trauma to her face and the right side of her body. Her internal temperature was 96.6 degrees and she was cold to the touch, the doctor reported.
Two days after Batties' death, the medical examiner's office ruled her case a homicide, saying she died of blunt force abdominal trauma after being struck with some object.
Wednesday's arrests are the first in the Batties' case and come after a grand jury indictment was unsealed last week. The girl would have turned 8 this past April.
Now her mother, Navasia Jones, and her brother, Paul Fine Jr., both face charges of murder with depraved indifference -- meaning they allegedly acted with no regard for the little girl's life even if they didn't explicitly intend to kill her -- manslaughter and acting in a manner injurious to a child. Fine is also accused of sex abuse and assault.
It wasn't immediately clear if either defendant had an attorney who could comment on the allegations against them.
There was a history of abuse in Batties' home, a law enforcement source said in the wake of the girl's death. Fine, who was 17 at the time, had told investigators he beat his sister because he thought she took his snacks, the source said.

The mother, though, had said her daughter fell and hit her head on a desk, The New York Times reported at the time. She said the girl began to vomit hours later. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc-mom-brother-accused-of-murdering-7-year-old-girl-with-depraved-indifference/3755064/ | 2022-06-29T17:30:55 | 1 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nyc-mom-brother-accused-of-murdering-7-year-old-girl-with-depraved-indifference/3755064/ |
Firefighters from several agencies around the region are working to contain a wildfire in Malheur County, Oregon, north of Vale. Smoke from the fire also is noticeable in much of southwestern Idaho.
The Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and local rural and rangeland firefighters responded Tuesday night to what is now called the Willowcreek Fire. The fire was reported on private land at about 4 p.m. and spread to land managed by the Vale District BLM.
Shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday, the BLM estimated the fire to be 15,000 acres with zero containment. As of 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, the fire's estimated size was 40,000 acres, said Larisa Bogardus, public affairs officer for Vale District BLM.
However, cooler weather and calmer winds overnight helped firefighters position themselves strategically to contain the fire, Bogardus said Wednesday morning.
The Oregon Department of Transportation closed Interstate 84 from Ontario to Baker City due to smoke. The highway reopened by 11 p.m. Tuesday night.
The fire is burning in grass and sagebrush. The BLM says it's not threatening any structures, and no evacuation orders are in place.
The Oregon State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
More ground and air firefighting crews are being sent to the Willow Creek Fire. The following resources had been dispatched for the suppression response as of Tuesday night: nine Vale BLM engines, two engines from the Payette National Forest, two engines each from Burns District and Boise District BLM, ground resources from Vale Rangeland Fire Protection Association and Vale Rural Fire Department, two water tenders and two dozers. Air Attack, Single Engine Air Tankers and Large Air Tankers were assisting those ground resources.

A woman who loved root beer, high heels, having her hair and nails done and who may have been the oldest living person in Idaho, died Saturday at the age of 109.
Tasha Carper, of Lewiston, Dielman’s granddaughter, said Dielman, who was living at Royal Plaza, tested positive for COVID-19 on June 13. Carper said Dielman apparently recovered and was released from quarantine Friday but before she and her sister, Debbie McLean, could get permission to visit her, Dielman died.
“She’s been doing OK but the winter was hard on her, just being cooped up,” Carper said. Residents at the care center have been on lockdown off and on recently because of the coronavirus, Carper said, and when Dielman tested positive, she was put into a room all by herself, which she did not like.
Carper said her sister took Dielman out to get her nails done the day before she tested positive. At that time, Dielman appeared to be in good spirits and quick-witted as ever. But her appetite had been tapering off for awhile.
“We’d always get her a smoothie and we had noticed in the last couple of months, she’d still drink it but not like she did before,” Carper said.
Last year at Dielman’s 109th birthday party, the family took her out to dinner at Ernie’s Steakhouse where, Carper recalled, Dielman drank two root beers.
“She wolfed those down before the meal got there,” Carper said. Dielman also had potato prime rib soup that her other granddaughter mushed up so she could eat it.
“She’s on pureed food,” Carper said. “She’s so worried about choking but she had ice cream — she gobbled that down and she said, ‘That sure was sweet.’ ”
Last year, the Lewiston Tribune attempted to verify whether Dielman actually was the oldest person in Idaho by contacting several state and federal agencies. None of them — including the governor’s office; Idaho Commission on Aging; Idaho Labor Department; Social Security Administration; census records and other websites — could provide that information.
Dielman was born to Walter and Edna Brown in Stevensville, Mont., in 1912. Dielman was one of 13 children and she and her twin brother, Earl, were third place in the lineup.
The family lived on a farm and Dielman attended school through the eighth grade, and in 1931 she married Van Bailey.
The couple lived on a wheat farm in Montana, where Dielman cooked for the hired hands. They had one daughter, Vanita, before they divorced. During World War II, Dielman worked as a crane operator in Portland and later as a nurse at a veterans home in Stevensville.
In 1949, she married Byron Dielman and they spent summers mining for gold in Arizona. After her husband died in 1982, Dielman moved to Lewiston to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren.
Her granddaughters remembered that Dielman had a feisty temperament and was always full of life. She wore high heels everywhere, even to clean the house, the granddaughters said, and they remember walking to the A&B grocery store with their grandmother and she wore high heels all the way.
Carper said Dielman “had a hard time giving up her high heels, that was a little bit of a fight. Kind of like when she had to give up her license and she couldn’t drive her Cadillac anymore.”
Her daughter, Vanita, died at the age of 83 in 2014, and one sister, Doris, 94, is living in Anaconda, Mont. She had four grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 15 great-great grandchildren.
Carper mentioned that someone at Royal Plaza told her that Dielman still yodeled on occasion.
McLean was told that on Friday, Dielman was out of quarantine and “was happy and bubbly.” On Saturday morning, the Royal Plaza staff got her up for breakfast and laid her back down after the meal.
“When they went back in to check on her,” Carper said, “she had passed.
“We’re not sure if it was COVID or just her age, but I’m sure COVID didn’t help,” Carper said. “I was hoping we could make it to 110, but she had other plans.” | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/woman-who-may-have-been-oldest-person-in-idaho-dies-at-109/article_5c571e67-f90c-590c-83cf-d07ecd29ad19.html | 2022-06-29T17:32:27 | 0 | https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/woman-who-may-have-been-oldest-person-in-idaho-dies-at-109/article_5c571e67-f90c-590c-83cf-d07ecd29ad19.html |
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A road was closed and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was on scene after police got a call about a suspicious bookbag near a counseling center and women's health clinic.
Johns Creek Police Department are investigating the scene at 2750 Old Alabama Road. That's the address for the Women’s Clinic of Atlanta and Summit Counseling Center.
The department said they were called to the counseling center around 9:15 am about the backpack lying against the wall.
Police were given the all clear just after noon and said it was a bag full of baby supplies.
They reiterated that this was not an abortion clinic.
A bomb dog with the Roswell Police Department was also sent over earlier to do a sweep, and Johns Creek officers said nothing was found. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/backpack-bookbag-women-clinic-counseling-summit-2750-old-alabama-road/85-d4d129eb-7f2f-438f-8bc6-f50a62cf3cbd | 2022-06-29T17:34:12 | 0 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/backpack-bookbag-women-clinic-counseling-summit-2750-old-alabama-road/85-d4d129eb-7f2f-438f-8bc6-f50a62cf3cbd |
ATLANTA — The Fourth of July is just around the corner, which means one thing; fireworks!
However, before stocking up for a weekend of festivities, be sure you're aware of the various laws surrounding where you can set off these combustible items and which you can legally purchase in the first place.
You wouldn't want the Fourth of July fun to come to a swift end by hurting someone or getting in trouble with local authorities.
What fireworks can you buy in Georgia?
All fireworks classified as DOT 1.4G (consumer fireworks) in Georgia are legal to purchase and use as stated in the Georgia General Assembly House Bill 727. The fireworks that you can legally buy in retail stores across Georgia include:
- Bottle Rockets
- Sky Rockets
- Roman Candles
- Firecrackers
- Sparklers
- Smoke and Punk
- Fountains
- Missiles
- Novelties
- Crackle and Strobe
- Parachutes
- Wheels and Spinners
- Sky Flyers
- Display Shells
- Aerial Items (Cakes)
Who Can Buy Consumer Fireworks in Georgia?
In Georgia, you must be 18 years or older to purchase fireworks. There is not an exact age for igniting them, but Georgia.gov reminds residents to remember that most injuries happen to kids under 16.
It is illegal to light fireworks under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
When Can You Light Fireworks in Georgia?
While technically, you can ignite fireworks all year, they were meant for the holidays. In particular, July 4 and New Year's. On those days, the hours are extended:
New Years: until 1 a.m.
Fourth of July: until midnight
Any other day: Between 10 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. Note: New legislation effective July 1, 2018, gives local authorities the option to restrict the use of fireworks at certain times, provided the restriction is part of a general noise ordinance that does not apply solely to fireworks.
Where Can You Light Fireworks in Georgia?
It depends on where you live. Some private communities, including HOAs, condos or apartment complexes, may prohibit fireworks, while others may set aside a spot to ignite them. Bottom line: check your communities laws and bylines to be sure.
Fireworks are banned in some places, including on roads and highways.
It is illegal to light fireworks within 100 yards of a:
- Electric plant
- Water treatment plant
- Waste-water treatment plant
- Gas station
- Refinery
- Electric substation
- Jail or prison
- Helipad
- Hospital
- Nursing home
- Other health care facility
Fireworks are strictly prohibited in state parks, according the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, State Parks and Historic Sites. They are also banned in other public parks except for those with a special license.
Remember that while they may be legal, consumer fireworks are considered hazardous materials (hazmat) division 1.4G explosives. Be mindful of the laws when purchasing and lighting them off to ensure the safety of everyone. | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/georgia-fireworks-laws-july-4-holiday/85-b588702f-0c5f-42bd-a21a-54d46b291c3f | 2022-06-29T17:34:18 | 1 | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/georgia-fireworks-laws-july-4-holiday/85-b588702f-0c5f-42bd-a21a-54d46b291c3f |

DALLAS (KDAF) — Fourth of July is upon and many Texans plan to spend the weekend outdoors with friends and family.
If you plan to bring your furry little friend along for the festivities it’s important to be aware of the heat for the safety of your pet. That’s why Operation Kindness has put together some tips on how to keep cool in this Texas heat.
- Keep water readily available. Just like us, pets need to stay hydrated.
- Watch for signs of heatstroke. Excessive panting, difficulty breathing, drooling, weakness or even collapsing can all be signs of overheating in animals. Allow your pet plenty of time to rest and cool down inside and in the shade.
- Avoid walks during the hotter hours of the day. Walking your pet early in the morning or later in the evening can help your pet avoid high sun exposure and high temperatures. Walking during these periods and keeping your pet on the grass can help keep your pet’s paws from burning on hot asphalt.
- Properly groom your pet. Pets shouldn’t be shaved entirely; however, reducing the amount of fur they have with hair cuts and brushings can help reduce the heat a heavy fur coat can trap. Proper grooming helps your pet stay cool while still allowing their coat to protect against sunburns.
- Let your pet play in the water. All pets should be monitored when playing with water. Letting your pet splash around in a kiddie pool, run through the sprinklers or even just lay on a cool, wet towel can help your pet beat the heat while having fun with water.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Fourth of July is this weekend and we’re sure that you have tons of exciting plans to celebrate, like food, drinks and of course fireworks.
That all may seem like fun to you; however, for many dogs, fireworks are scary and dangerous. So, in the effort of safety. Operation Kindness has released a list of some Fourth of July pet safety tips.
Fireworks cause pets a lot of anxiety, and when a pet is scared they react with their instincts, which includes running away, digging in the yard or (in severe cases) breaking through windows.
To make sure your forever friend is safe while fireworks are going off make sure to:
- Microchip your pet and make sure your pet has proper identification and is wearing a collar with tags.
- Secure your pet in a safe and quiet place, like a kennel or bathroom. This will also help prevent your pet from darting outside should visitors come to your house.
- Turn on your TV or some music to distract from the firework noise. Getting your pet toys and treats to chew on can also be a great distraction.
- Leave your pet at home! The noises and excitement of firework display events can cause your pet to panic and get separated from you. They’ll be more comfortable at home!
- Be patient with your pet; remember this can be a scary time for them. For severe cases, talk to your veterinarian about medication options.
In the event that your pets do get lost, Operation Kindness officials say to contact your local animal shelters immediately. | https://cw33.com/news/local/tips-to-keep-your-pets-safe-from-4th-of-july-fireworks-from-dallas-operation-kindness/ | 2022-06-29T17:40:36 | 1 | https://cw33.com/news/local/tips-to-keep-your-pets-safe-from-4th-of-july-fireworks-from-dallas-operation-kindness/ |

Kawasaki officials say comments in a published report stating that labor issues at its plant in Lincoln are causing delays in the delivery of rail cars to New York City are not true.
The New York Daily News reported Monday that Metropolitan Transit Authority officials are unhappy with the pace of rail cars being delivered from Lincoln to New York and are blaming that on labor problems and mismanagement.
The MTA approved the purchase of 535 state-of-the-art, next-generation R211 subway cars from Kawasaki in 2018, in a contract valued at the time at $1.4 billion.
They were supposed to go into service next summer, but that has been pushed back to January 2025.
The company is also 17 months behind schedule on cars for the Long Island Rail Road, an MTA subsidiary, according to the newspaper.

The Daily News reported that Jim Allen, head of rolling stock for the Long Island Rail Road, said during an MTA committee meeting Monday that Kawasaki would hire employees only to have them leave after a week, leading to a "real systemic problem."
Siu Ling Ko, chief mechanical officer for NYC Transit, was quoted as saying Kawasaki loses about 45 workers every month from its rail car operation, while Joseph Devito, the MTA’s independent engineering consultant, said the company's problems have forced the MTA to provide "constant oversight and supervision."
A Kawasaki official told the Journal Star that it meets monthly with all of its customers to provide status updates and recently hosted MTA officials.
"Last week we hosted NYC Transit members at our facility and we successfully completed the first car review for the R211T open gangway subway cars, which is a large milestone in the progress of the project," Jason Hellbusch, corporate director of administration for Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Corp., U.S.A., said in an emailed statement. "Joint understanding is key to progress and during this last visit by NYC Transit we provided a detailed update regarding status and progress of the project, which included supply chain and manpower status."
But it appears something must have been lost in translation for the MTA officials to come away with the impression that Kawasaki has labor problems.
"The New York Daily News article does correctly highlight that a major reason for delays has been supply chain issues," Hellbusch said. "However, we take exception to the comment regarding labor problems at Kawasaki here in Lincoln. We currently have sufficient manpower for all projects in our facility and we continue to hire personnel as our production rate increases."
Hellbusch acknowledged that Kawasaki, like many other companies, faces challenges finding enough workers in the current labor market. Nebraska's 1.9% unemployment rate in May was tied for lowest in the country, while Lincoln's metropolitan area unemployment rate is among the 20 lowest in the country.
The company in July 2020 announced an expansion, partially driven by the startup of the R211 contract, that would require it to hire 550 new employees.
Hellbusch said Kawasaki is committed to fulfilling its contracts with the MTA, and the agency appears committed to the company, despite the quotes from officials.
The Daily News reported that the MTA plans to exercise an option to buy an additional 640 subway cars from Kawasaki later this year, largely because the company is one of only two that it works with.
“The universe of competent, qualified car builders that are in the U.S. are down to two. We’re all very mindful of some of those consequences,” said MTA chairman Janno Lieber. “What we’re trying to do is help Kawasaki get back on the straight and narrow.”

Deputies who stopped a car without license plates or a functioning taillight northeast of Lincoln early Wednesday morning uncovered more than 200 grams of suspected methamphetamine, the sheriff said.
Authorities pulled the car over at 2 a.m. Wednesday on U.S. 6 near North 98th Street, where deputies observed an open alcohol container behind 39-year-old Gary Payton, who was driving on a suspended license, Sheriff Terry Wagner said.
After detaining Payton, deputies searched the car, Wagner said, finding 205 grams of suspected meth in a purse in front of the passenger seat.
"That's a lot of meth," the sheriff said.
Payton, an Omaha man, and 39-year-old Angelica Agena, of Lincoln, were both arrested on suspicion of possession of meth with intent to deliver.
Payton was cited for driving on a suspended license, Wagner said. Both were taken to the Lancaster County jail.

Lancaster County's biggest drug seizures
I-80 bust turned up $100K, led to 1,830 pounds of drugs, sheriff’s captain says
The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office says it found $103,194 in suspected drug money and arrested a 25-year-old North Carolina man in a traffic stop on Interstate 80 west of Lincoln shortly before 10 a.m. Friday.
Capt. Ben Houchin said Brandon Montoya, of Charlotte, was stopped in a westbound Toyota Tundra for following too closely and driving on the shoulder. During the stop, Houchin said, the deputy developed suspicions Montoya was involved in illegal activity. A search turned up the money, which was sealed and in a suitcase, and a ledger.
Houchin said deputies reached out to law enforcement in Charlotte, where Montoya lives and rents a storage unit, believing that there was a strong possibility they would find a large amount of narcotics there.
He said the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department took the information, got search warrants and found 1,290 pounds of marijuana and THC edibles in Montoya's storage unit and at his home, tens of thousands of empty and loaded bottles of THC oil, marijuana cigar tubes and THC vape cartridges, 10 pounds of THC wax, 40 pounds of marijuana, packing materials, a 9mm Glock handgun and $90,000 in cash.
Houchin said the drugs added up to 1,831 pounds.
Pair accused of hauling 645 pounds of pot on I-80 through Lincoln area
Two men remained at the Lancaster County jail Thursday, a day after prosecutors charged them in connection with 645 pounds of marijuana found in their rental truck.
Brandon Arrington, 30, of McDonough, Georgia, and Edward Babb of Houston both are facing four felonies: two counts of possession with intent to deliver and two counts of no drug tax stamp.
In an affidavit for their arrests, a Lancaster County Sheriff's deputy said he stopped a GMC Penske rental truck with Virginia plates Tuesday after seeing its passenger side tires cross onto the shoulder of Interstate 80 near the Lincoln Airport exit.
During the traffic stop, the deputy became suspicious the men were involved in criminal activity.
They both denied a request to search the truck, but the deputy deployed his police dog around it after seeing what he believed to be marijuana residue on the floorboard.
The search turned up 645 pounds of marijuana and 4.74 pounds of THC vapor pens in the truck's cargo area inside cardboard boxes wrapped in plastic wrap, according to court records.
On Wednesday, at their first court appearances on the charges, Lancaster County Judge Matt Acton set their bonds at $250,000.

Lancaster County deputies find 109 lbs of pot in I-80 traffic stop
A California woman was arrested Friday morning after Lancaster County sheriff's deputies found more 100 pounds of marijuana in her vehicle during a traffic stop.
At about 9:30 a.m., Pakou J. Yang, 37, of Oroville, was pulled over on Interstate 80 about three miles east of the Pleasant Dale interchange for following another vehicle too closely.
During the stop, a deputy determined the 2018 Nissan that Yang was driving was a one-way rental, which the deputy described in court records as a common sign of drug trafficking. She also became "extremely nervous" while being questioned by the deputy.
Deputies searched the vehicle after a drug-sniffing dog indicated the presence of drugs. They found 109.5 pounds of vacuum-sealed marijuana in the trunk, according to court records.
Yang was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and no drug tax stamp. She remained in jail Friday on $50,000 bail.
Lincoln drug bust nets an estimated $125K in pills, pot, LSD and mushrooms
Investigators with the Lincoln/Lancaster Narcotics Task Force carried a search warrant into a home on the 2800 block of North Third Street on Friday, and they carried out a lot more.
They found more than 4 pounds of marijuana, nearly 3 pounds of psilocybin mushrooms, 3,604 oxycodone pills, 1,281 Alprazolam pills, 855 hits of LSD, 209 THC syringes, nearly $2,300 in cash and four firearms.
The drugs had an estimated street value of about $125,000, Lincoln Police Officer Erin Spilker said Tuesday.
The seizure started just before 9 a.m., when investigators visited the home on a tip that someone was selling drugs out of it, she said.
They contacted three men: 22-year-old Gustav Rockey, his roommate and a 20-year-old visitor.
The visitor had an outstanding warrant — and THC wax in his wallet — and was arrested. Rockey and his roommate each turned over a glass pipe and bags of marijuana and were allowed to leave.
Investigators then applied for the search warrant and found the drugs, guns and cash in the home.
They found Rockey three days later near First Street and Cornhusker Highway and arrested him on three counts of suspicion of possession of drugs with intent to deliver, possession of money while violating a drug law and possession of a firearm with a drug law violation.
They’re still searching for others who live in the house, Spilker said.

Father and son arrested in cocaine bust, Lincoln police say
A father and son were arrested Thursday by the Lancaster County Narcotics Unit after investigators found 6.8 pounds of cocaine, a pound of marijuana and almost $4,000 in cash at an apartment complex near Capitol Beach.
Police arrested Russell Rucks Sr., 50, and Russell Rucks Jr., 28, on suspicion of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver and money during a drug violation.
Officer Erin Spilker said the Lincoln/Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force served a search warrant at the apartment where both live at 500 Surfside Drive as part of an ongoing drug investigation.
Investigators had been looking for the elder Rucks and ended up arresting both men prior to the warrant being served. Spilker said Rucks Sr. had 8.9 grams of cocaine and over $1,600 cash in his pocket.
She said the search at the apartment turned up drugs throughout the apartment they shared. | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/lancaster-county-traffic-stop-turns-up-more-than-200-grams-of-meth-sheriff-says/article_ada17ef1-5e39-5f5b-b466-4662bfec4e7d.html | 2022-06-29T17:42:59 | 0 | https://journalstar.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/lancaster-county-traffic-stop-turns-up-more-than-200-grams-of-meth-sheriff-says/article_ada17ef1-5e39-5f5b-b466-4662bfec4e7d.html |

A company specializing in precision metal components for the medical and vehicle industries, among others, will locate in southeast Fort Wayne.
Boston Centerless is developing its first manufacturing facility outside its headquarters in Woburn, Massachusetts, at 6901 S. Hanna St., a Wednesday news release from Greater Fort Wayne says.
The address also houses Fort Wayne Metals, said Dan Watson director of marketing for GFW. Boston Centerless will use about 16,000 square feet of the building, he said.
The company plans to invest $619,000 in equipment by the end of 2023 and create up to 20 new jobs. Its location within the Summit City Entrepreneur and Enterprise District qualifies the company for local tax abatements.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation also has committed up to $250,000 in incentive-based tax credits based on the company's employment plans. | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/precision-metals-company-coming-to-southeast-fort-wayne/article_b64a2aa0-f7c1-11ec-ac60-7716ecb9b722.html | 2022-06-29T17:43:08 | 0 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/precision-metals-company-coming-to-southeast-fort-wayne/article_b64a2aa0-f7c1-11ec-ac60-7716ecb9b722.html |
Thursday's Blessing of the Fleet to welcome summer, honor maritime traditions
HARBOR SPRINGS — An annual event will return to the shores of Harbor Springs this week, honoring tradition while also preparing boats and boaters for the summer season.
Harbor Springs' Blessing of the Fleet — a parade and event that celebrates the area's maritime history while blessing participating watercraft for a safe boating season — is slated for this Thursday, June 30 in the bay in Harbor Springs.
"So, 10 years ago we embarked on this boat parade as a way to bring traditions back to the Harbor Springs community," said Harbor Springs Area Historical Society Executive Director Kristyn Balog.
"It was something we could also offer to the community to participate in for free and as a great way to celebrate the beginning of summer," she said.

Balog added that the event follows the society's mission in that it has revived a longtime tradition — a worldwide tradition even — in their local community.
It's also a way to not only revive traditions but to honor the area's local history and give a voice to those included in the town's history.
"This event really speaks to a large part of our lifestyle in Northern Michigan, which largely includes water recreation," said Balog.
"However, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians still have their own blessing ceremony which more traditionally recognizes fishing commerce and they actually kick off our event and parade where they will smudge their jiimaan (canoe) with singers who will perform a ceremonial water song for a safe season on the water," she said.
At the time this story was written, the event and parade had about 50 boats registered to participate. However, Balog is expecting over 140 participating boats to fill the waterfront to take part in the festivities.
This year, Balog explained, the event will have both Father James from Holy Childhood of Jesus Church and bishop Jeffery Walsh joining and blessing each boat that passes by in the parade.
The upcoming Blessing of the Fleet kicks off at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 30 and is actually the culmination of a week of events put on by the society.
Both today, Wednesday, June 29 and Thursday, June 30, those interested are still able to take part in free dockside hands-on tours of the Schooner Madeline between 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Reservations are not required but it is encouraged to call (231) 526-9771 to schedule a tour.
Wednesday also gives people a chance to step aboard the historic Canim and Eleganté yachts at 5 p.m. This specific event is ticketed with limited space but gives ticket holders entry to the yachts, a cocktail party and a commemorative gift.
Similarly, during the Blessing of the Fleet event on Thursday, tickets are available for those interested to cruise on board the Isle Royale Queen III. Tickets give people the chance to view the event from the yacht while enjoying a full-service bar and snacks.
Tickets for both the Wednesday and Thursday offerings are available online at www.harborspringshistory.org. More information on all Blessing of the Fleet week events and on society offerings can also be found at the same website.
"It's been a great week and we are excited to see everyone out again for the culmination of it all with the blessings and parade," said Balog.
"It's always a great community event and something to look forward to each year," she said.

Greater Fort Wayne Inc. issued the following Wednesday, June 29, 2022 –
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – A precision material provider has chosen Fort Wayne as its gateway to nationwide growth.
Boston Centerless today announced the opening of its production facility in southeast Fort Wayne, creating up to 20 new jobs and investing up to $619,000 by the end of 2023.
Located at 6901 S. Hanna St. in Fort Wayne, the plant is the company’s first production facility outside its headquarters in Woburn, Mass. The 16,000-square-foot facility features state-of-the-art equipment and brings Boston Centerless closer to its customers in the Midwest and beyond.
“Our Midwest and western customers in the U.S. will now benefit from even shorter lead times,” said Laurent Cros, chief commercial officer of Boston Centerless. “This investment in a substantial amount of increased capacity and an additional strategically located base of operations represents our commitment to continuously strengthening our supply chain services for our customers.”
Boston Centerless provides high-quality metal bar to customers in industries including medical, dental, aerospace, defense, and automotive. For example, their products are used in spinal implants, fuel injection valve seats, and fluid control components – all of which require precision materials.
The Fort Wayne plant will provide precision grinding, straightening, and chamfering services. Chamfering is a type of beveling at the ends of a metal bar.
Boston Centerless is currently hiring. Positions at the Fort Wayne facility include machine operators, quality inspectors, and more. Interested candidates can learn more and apply at the Boston Centerless careers webpage.
"Indiana has a strong reputation for making products that build our world, while advancing innovative technologies that are driving industries forward," said Ann Lathrop, executive vice president of global investments for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). “Our skilled and robust manufacturing workforce makes the Hoosier state a great place for cutting-edge companies, like Boston Centerless, to grow and expand.”
Based on the company’s job creation plans, the IEDC committed an investment in Boston Centerless of up to $250,000 in the form of incentive-based tax credits. These incentives are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired and trained. Northeast Indiana Works will provide the company with additional hiring and training assistance. Boston Centerless’ location within the Summit City Entrepreneur and Enterprise District (SEED) also qualifies the company for investment-based local tax savings. The SEED offers real estate and personal property tax benefits for commercial investments to enhance manufacturing, innovation, technology, and logistics.
“Boston Centerless will be a welcome addition to our community. Their commitment to investing in southeast Fort Wayne as the first production facility outside of Massachusetts is a strong statement that our City is moving in the right direction as an attractive location for businesses,” said Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry. “Advanced manufacturing is one of our strong business sectors locally, and it’s vital that we continue to help provide the necessary opportunities and partnerships that facilitate growth and success.” | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/verbatim-boston-centerless-to-open-southeast-fort-wayne-facility/article_26a33c5e-f7a6-11ec-ae7a-5bb02df564e5.html | 2022-06-29T17:43:27 | 1 | https://www.journalgazette.net/local/verbatim-boston-centerless-to-open-southeast-fort-wayne-facility/article_26a33c5e-f7a6-11ec-ae7a-5bb02df564e5.html |

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP — A driver was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after their car crashed into a tree off the Atlantic City Expressway.
The crash was reported at 9:42 a.m. westbound near milepost 17.2, short of the Egg Harbor City Toll Plaza and Exit 17, State Police Trooper Brandi Slota said.
An initial investigation indicated a black Honda lost directional control, causing it to run off the roadway, overturn and strike the tree, Slota said.
The unidentified driver, who was the vehicle's sole occupant, complained of pain and was taken to an area hospital for evaluation, Slota said.
The crash remains under investigation. | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/atlantic-city-expressway-crash-injures-driver/article_69bc08c2-f70b-11ec-a15a-bb331728312d.html | 2022-06-29T17:48:02 | 0 | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/atlantic-city-expressway-crash-injures-driver/article_69bc08c2-f70b-11ec-a15a-bb331728312d.html |
BRIGANTINE — City police, firefighters and lifeguards will have an increased presence at the popular jetty and Cove beaches this Fourth of July weekend.
City officials cited beach erosion and possible overcrowding as causes for concern, and said authorities would be focused on alcohol violations, beach parking and public conduct.
Vehicle access to the beaches may need to be shut down or rerouted for a brief period of time to ensure that law enforcement can do its job in the event of an emergency, police said.
Enforcement at the The Cove has been an issue in recent years, with residents complaining of crowding, excess noise, fights and trash, especially during holiday weekends like July 4. In 2019, city officials updated their beach rules, allowing authorities to inspect larger coolers and to close or limit access due to overcrowding. They also increased beach parking permit fees to cover the cost of enforcement.

WILDWOOD — Morey's Piers this week donated $1,000 from last September's Doggie Splash Pool Party to Beacon Animal Rescue.
With the donation, the volunteer-run, no-kill shelter in Ocean View can contribute more funds toward its animal services and initiatives, Morey's said in a news release Wednesday.
"We believe that pets live their best lives when having fun in safe and loving environments," Maggie Wisniewski, a spokesperson for the beachfront amusement park franchise, said in a statement. "Our love for creating pet-friendly events and environments is why we seek to partner with organizations like Beacon. We share the same passion and commitment for wanting to better the lives of animals and their families."
Morey's annually turns its Raging Waters water park over to the dogs on its last weekend of operation for the season, letting them splash and play among the slides as their human masters would.
Beacon's staff uses donations to help feed, train, house and care for its animals.
"As Cape May County's leading no-kill rescue, it has been Beacon's honor to partner with Morey's Piers, Cape May County's premier amusement-and-water park, at their events summer after summer," Ryan Parker, executive director of Beacon Animal Rescue, said in a statement.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) — City officials on Wednesday revealed they hope to return to 30-day water billing cycles by the end of the summer.
The $3-million water meter replacement project was launched when some of the batteries started failing in December 2020, preventing the water services department from detecting water usage.
In the spring of 2021, the city began replacing water meters; to date, 16,700 water meters have been replaced.
“All of these new water meters have been programmed by the company and we’ve started using the drive-by reading system this week,” said Deputy City Manager Ryan McReynolds. “This should allow us to greatly speed up the water meter reading process.”
City workers will be able to read the meters remotely after reprogramming some of the meters.
Kingsport expects to have all remaining water meters in its 39,000-count system replaced within the next couple of years.
A release from the city states that water meters have been registering the correct water usages, and no one is being overbilled.

FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. – The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has sided with a Fort Myers Beach Man in his battle against the town’s ban on portable signs.
On December 17, 2020, Adam LaCroix was cited after sharing his religious message on a public sidewalk. That prompted LaCroix to sue Fort Myers Beach, claiming the citation violated the First Amendment, Equal Protection Clause and Florida’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
In his argument, LaCroix compared the use of his signs to those of real estate, garage sale and other temporary signs which he felt didn’t not face the same scrutiny.
After the suit was rejected by the District Court, it was brought to the Appeals Court, where it was decided that Fort Myers Beach’s ban on portable signs did in fact limit free speech.
In making its decision, The Court stated that, “The ban on these signs leaves the residents of Fort Myers Beach without an effective alternative channel of communication; it very likely violates the First Amendment.“
The Court also mentioned the rich history of using portable and handheld signs in the political landscape and how these items are one of the “most common methods of free expression”.
ADDITIONAL COVERAGE: Beachfront businesses deal with impacts of Fort Myers Beach ‘street preachers’
Fort Myers Beach businesses had taken issues with LaCroix signs which they say had featured graphic imagery. They had previously claimed that his actions were actually driving away potential customers.
The case has been remanded back to the District Court for further proceedings. | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/06/29/appeals-court-rules-against-fort-myers-beach-ban-on-portable-signs/ | 2022-06-29T17:52:13 | 1 | https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2022/06/29/appeals-court-rules-against-fort-myers-beach-ban-on-portable-signs/ |

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — There is a new scam happening in West Virginia, and this time, tricksters are making false claims about the West Virginia Attorney General, Gov. Jim Justice and the publishing company Publishers Clearing House.
According to Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, scammers are sending a letter supposedly signed by Gov. Justice and stamped with the state seal. The letter claims the recipient won a financial prize from Publishers Clearing House. The letter further purports that Morrisey traveled to New York to negotiate the prize total with the publishing company.
“That is false, I never went to New York to negotiate any sweepstakes winnings for consumers,” Morrisey said. “We will never contact consumers to notify them of their winnings. Indeed, it can be a welcome surprise to unexpectedly win something but it’s crucial that consumers don’t let the excitement overshadow caution and smart thinking.”
The letter then asks consumers to pay $55,913.53 to claim the prize of about $212,000, which will seemingly be “delivered to the recipient’s doorstep.” The Office of the Attorney General says one victim sent $8,000 to claim the supposed prize, but the check payments went to an address in Stockton, California.
Scammers apparently “often use a familiar name to trick consumers into a false sense of trust and unquestioned acceptance.” There were also grammatical errors in the letter, Morrisey’s office reports.
“That’s one of the warning signs of a scam letter—it usually contains inconsistencies and grammatical errors,” Morrisey said. “Look for warning signs such as unusual word choices or improper grammar. Most importantly, never give money to a scammer or allow them to access your credit card or computer.”
Morrey’s office says that although Publishers Clearing House does give prizes, there are some factors to keep in mind when verifying the legitimacy:
- Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes are free. Winners will never be asked to pay to receive their prize.
- Publishers Clearing House does not call winners to ask for personal information. They instead notify recipients in person or via certified mail.
- Consumers should NEVER agree to send cash or wire money. They should also never provide bank account information or credit card numbers.
Anyone who thinks they may have been a scam victim should contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at (800) 368-8808 or the Eastern Panhandle Consumer Protection Office in Martinsburg at (304) 267-0239. Reports can also be made on the Attorney General’s website. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/a-g-morrisey-warns-of-scam-letters-falsely-claiming-to-be-signed-by-gov-justice/ | 2022-06-29T17:52:43 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/a-g-morrisey-warns-of-scam-letters-falsely-claiming-to-be-signed-by-gov-justice/ |
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources announced that another catfish record has been broken in the state.
The 17-year record for the largest channel catfish caught in West Virginia was broken fittingly on West Virginia Day, June 20, during free fishing weekend.
Allen Burkett of Criders, Va., caught the record channel catfish that weighed 36.96 pounds and measured 40.59 inches in length. The DNR said he was fishing with chicken liver from the shore of South Mill Creek Lake in Grant County. Burkett’s record fish was measured by DNR fishery biologist, Brandon Keplinger.
The previous record channel catfish of 33.42 pounds and 40.3 inches was caught by Michael Sears in 2005 at Patterson Creek.
This record-breaking fish joins a long list of other big catch records that have been broken in 2022, including:
- Heaviest catfish, caught in the Kanawha River
- Largest musky, caught in the Little Kanawha River
- Longest carp, caught in Preston County
Prior to the catfish record being set in May, it was also broken in April, although the record only stood for one month. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/man-catches-largest-channel-catfish-ever-in-west-virginia/ | 2022-06-29T17:52:49 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/local/man-catches-largest-channel-catfish-ever-in-west-virginia/ |

QUIET DELL, WV (WOWK) – Medal of Honor Recipient and World War II Veteran Hershel “Woody” Williams died at the age of 98 on Wednesday, June 29, 2022. Born Oct. 2, 1923, in Quiet Dell in Marion County, West Virginia, Williams was the last surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient.
Williams died early this morning at the VA hospital named in his honor, the Hershel “Woody” Williams VA Medical Center.
He joined the United States Marine Corps and served in the Battle of Iwo Jima with the 21st Marines, 3d Marine Division. Williams received the Medal of Honor on October 5, 1945, from President Harry S. Truman for his “actions, commitment to his fellow service members, and heroism,” the Woody Williams Foundation website says.
Following his service in the US Marine Corps, Williams dedicated his life to serving, supporting and honoring his fellow veterans, service members and their families.
Throughout the morning, tributes honoring Williams have been flooding social media both in his home state and across the nation.
The U.S. Marine Corps has also released a statement on William’s passing, saying “Today, the Marine Corps pauses to honor Woody’s legacy and contributions to the Corps and fellow Marines.”
“On behalf of all Marines, Sgt. Maj. Black and I are heartbroken to learn of Woody’s passing. From his actions on Iwo Jima to his lifelong service to our Gold Star Families, Woody has left an indelible mark on the legacy of our Corps. As the last of America’s “Greatest Generation” to receive the Medal of Honor, we will forever carry with us the memory of his selfless dedication to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to our great Nation. The Marine Corps is fortunate to have many heroes, but there is only one Woody Williams. Semper Fidelis, Marine.”
Gen. David H. Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps.
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society also released a statement on behalf of the 63 surviving Medal of Honor recipients
“Growing up in Quiet Dell, friends and family of Woody Williams knew him as a West Virginia farmer’s son and the youngest of 11 children who dutifully supported his family after his father died.
Fellow Marines knew him as the corporal who volunteered for a mission on Iwo Jima to clear a lane through enemy pillboxes that were destroying American tanks.
Veterans in West Virginia knew him as their advocate through his work as a Veterans Service Representative.
Gold Star families knew Woody through his work raising money for scholarships and other programs through the Woody Williams Foundation.And the nation knew him as a hero and the last living World War II Recipient of the Medal of Honor.
We, his fellow Medal of Honor Recipients, knew him as our friend and one of our heroes. We will miss him greatly.Semper Fi and Godspeed, Woody.”

Woody was a true friend of the West Virginia National Guard and his life inspired so many within our ranks. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Woody and his foundation and for all that he has done for West Virginia, our United States military and for Gold Star Families across the United States. He will forever be an example of the embodiment of West Virginia values and is a hero to not only us, but so many across the country. Our hope is that Woody’s life and service will continue to inspire future generations of West Virginians to serve and serve others for as he would say, ‘The cause is greater than I.” Semper Fi, Woody.”

A Twin River Casino union is threatening to strike. Here are their demands
LINCOLN — Workers represented by one of the unions at Bally's Twin River Casino voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to authorize a strike over staffing and wage issues, according to a union spokeswoman.
The workers, who cast ballots from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, voted 92% in favor of striking as soon as Friday, the day their contract with the casino expires, according to spokeswoman Lynette Ng.
The union, Local 26 of UNITE HERE, seeks increased staffing, with more full-time schedules, as well as wages that match increases in the cost of living.
Bally's spokeswoman Patti Doyle decline to comment on the strike-authorization vote, saying the company would "speak to our union colleagues at the negotiating table.

Doyle said that the union represents about 200 of the 1,900 employees at the Lincoln casino. She said the union does not have members at the company's Tiverton casino.
The union and management met last week on Friday for talks and plan to meet again this week on Wednesday. | https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/local/2022/06/29/twin-river-casino-lincoln-ri-union-local-26-workers-vote-authorize-strike/7765762001/ | 2022-06-29T17:55:20 | 1 | https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/local/2022/06/29/twin-river-casino-lincoln-ri-union-local-26-workers-vote-authorize-strike/7765762001/ |

Gov. Glenn Youngkin is demanding that the board overseeing Virginia's community colleges welcome his administration into the search for a new leader or resign Thursday, drawing accusations from Democrats that he's bypassing the state's layered governance structure.
For the past three months, Youngkin has tried to inject his presence into the hiring of a new chancellor to lead the state's 23 community colleges. Current chancellor Glenn Dubois is retiring Thursday.
In a letter sent two weeks ago, Youngkin told the 15 members of the Virginia Community College System board to work with the administration – or else.
"If for any reason you feel like you cannot commit to this mission, I will accept your resignation by June 30 with gratitude for your service," Youngkin wrote. Thursday is the end of the state's fiscal year.

Democrats in the state legislature said the governor is attempting to short-circuit the organizational chart of higher education. The governor nominates board members each year, and the boards oversee the community college system and four-year colleges.
"This is not how we run schools in Virginia. This isn't Carlyle," said Sen. Scott Surovell, D-Fairfax, referring to the private equity firm where Youngkin was co-CEO before winning public office. "This isn't a corporate takeover. The governor doesn't run schools. The boards do."
Youngkin first expressed concern with the state's community colleges in March, noting their significant decline in enrollment and the jobs that have been unfilled since the economy began its recovery. One candidate for the job, according to two sources, was Anne Holton, a former Virginia first lady, secretary of education and interim president at George Mason University. But she never got the job.
Youngkin asked the board to restart its hiring process and appoint an interim chancellor. In an act of defiance, the board continued its search and two weeks later named a Michigan community college president, Russell A. Kavalhuna, the new chancellor.
But Kavalhuna never took the job. Last month, he began negotiating with his school to remain in Michigan, and he declined to say why. The Virginia community college board named an interim chancellor, Sharon Morrissey.
The development was a victory for Youngkin, who had successfully intervened in the hiring of a new chancellor. Now he's renewing his request to help find a permanent one.
"While I know that the final decision rests with the VCCS board, our team is excited and eager to work with you to find this exceptional leader as soon as possible," Youngkin wrote.
The governor already laid the groundwork to fire the current board. In March, he said the board's decision to exclude the administration from the search process demonstrates "misfeasance," an offense a governor can use to fire a board member.
Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, a former community college administrator, said it would be an unprecedented decision – never has a Virginia governor forced the hiring of a college president or chancellor.
Democrats have asked for clarification on Youngkin's plans for Thursday and whether he will fire them if they don't capitulate. A spokesperson for Youngkin did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Members of the board did not immediately respond either.
Of the 15 board members, three will leave as early as Thursday because their terms are up - Nathaniel Bishop, Adnan Bokhari and Eleanor Saslaw. Others have terms that are ending but can be renewed.
Should the governor fire the board and appoint new members, Democrats in the Senate could refuse to confirm his appointees, said Sen. Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria.
Del. Schuyler VanValkenburg, D-Henrico, a high school teacher, said Youngkin is needlessly forcing a political agenda into higher education.
"At the end of the day, he'll insert culture-war politics in our community college system like he's done with K-12," VanValkenburg said.
Democrats in the legislature acknowledged that the state's community college system needs help. Enrollment is down by a quarter in the past 10 years, and some schools have seen their number of students chopped in half.
But the woes aren't limited to Virginia – they're being felt throughout the country, where total college enrollment is down. Community colleges are working to fix themselves and to train future employees, Hashmi said.
Last year, then-Gov. Ralph Northam signed into law the G3 program – "Get skilled, get a job, get ahead" – which pays a student's entire tuition and fees if he or she comes from a low- or middle-income family and is enrolled in a high-demand field such as nursing or information technology. Though the numbers are small, programs that cater to G3 students are growing.
Democrats agree change is needed, and that's why G3 was implemented, VanValkenburg said. | https://richmond.com/news/local/education/youngkin-to-community-college-board-work-with-his-administration-or-resign-thursday/article_ecb41027-65b7-53c2-ae6a-ed2dd1a88449.html | 2022-06-29T18:14:32 | 0 | https://richmond.com/news/local/education/youngkin-to-community-college-board-work-with-his-administration-or-resign-thursday/article_ecb41027-65b7-53c2-ae6a-ed2dd1a88449.html |

Rehoboth Beach's beloved Dolle's sign moves to new home
When the Rehoboth Beach community learned their beloved Dolle’s sign would be coming down from its longtime perch at 1 Rehoboth Ave., there was much anxiety about its future.
All that was put to rest Wednesday, when the 1960s-era orange lettering sign was mounted on the side of the Rehoboth Beach Museum, where it will remain for the foreseeable future.
Dolle’s Salt Water Taffy existed on the north corner of Rehoboth Avenue and the boardwalk for nearly half a century, but closed last year after owner Tom Ibach's lease expired and the building was sold.
Everyone wanted to know: “What will happen to the sign?” It was originally erected in 1962 and many associate it treasured memories of Rehoboth Beach, “The Nation’s Summer Capital.”
Ibach explored the possibility of moving the sign a few doors down to his other store, Ibach’s Candy By the Sea, but the 30-foot-by-15-foot structure was permitted only through grandfathering. It wasn’t compliant with modern city laws and would have required Ibach to seek a variance, not to mention the cost to move and re-erect it.
Ultimately, he donated the sign to the Rehoboth Beach Museum, which has a collection of historic signs. The city granted the museum a variance and over 250 donors contributed more than $35,000 to move the Dolle’s sign to and erect it at the museum.
That finally happened Wednesday, when Milton’s Rogers Sign Company hoisted the lettering onto the western façade of the museum and secured it in place. It will now be one of the first and biggest signs visitors see when they arrive in Rehoboth Beach and drive across the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal bridge.
“The Dolle’s sign represents many happy memories for people who visit the city,” said Rehoboth Beach Historical Society and Museum Director Nancy Alexander. “Whether it is their first visit or one of many over the years, the sign is a symbol to so many people that vacation has begun.”

A Center man died when his pickup truck collided with a train in Kidder County.
The 24-year-old was driving north on 30th Avenue Southeast about 4 miles east of Steele around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday, according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol. The 2007 Chevrolet pickup he was driving struck the second car of an eastbound BNSF Railway train that was traveling at 50-60 mph, the Patrol said. The pickup and the stock trailer it was pulling entered the southeast ditch and rolled. Three cattle in the trailer were killed.
The Patrol did not immediately release the man’s name.
The train had 10 cars and one engine and weighed about 757 tons, according to the Patrol. It was repaired and continued east to Dilworth, Minnesota.
The Kidder County Sheriff’s Office, Kidder County Ambulance and Sanford Air Flight also responded to the scene. The Patrol is still investigating the crash. | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/center-man-dies-in-pickup-train-collision-in-kidder-county/article_70adfbe4-f7c0-11ec-9c65-bb1c90d7152b.html | 2022-06-29T18:19:13 | 0 | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/center-man-dies-in-pickup-train-collision-in-kidder-county/article_70adfbe4-f7c0-11ec-9c65-bb1c90d7152b.html |
Authorities on Tuesday closed a portion of Interstate 94 in Billings County while a pickup truck fire was extinguished.
Jason Cronk, 23, of Everson, Washington, was eastbound shortly before 10:30 p.m. when he heard a noise and saw sparks and flames coming from his 2004 Ford F-450, according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol. He pulled over and got out of the vehicle.
The eastbound lane of the interstate was shut down for about 30 minutes while emergency responders put out the fire. The Billings County Rural Fire Department, Billings County Sheriff’s Office and Golden Valley Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene, which is about 6 miles east of Medora. | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/i-94-closed-briefly-during-tuesday-vehicle-fire/article_1df826ea-f7ca-11ec-ab6e-cb2a6bcd3bad.html | 2022-06-29T18:19:19 | 0 | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/accident-and-incident/i-94-closed-briefly-during-tuesday-vehicle-fire/article_1df826ea-f7ca-11ec-ab6e-cb2a6bcd3bad.html |
State health officials have confirmed the first human case of West Nile virus in North Dakota this season.
The person lives in Richland County, in the southeast, and was not hospitalized. The Health Department does not release names for medical privacy reasons.
“This is the time of year when (West Nile) activity increases, so it is important to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites,” said Amanda Bakken, West Nile virus surveillance coordinator for the state Health Department. “Warmer temperatures contribute to increased risk of being bitten by an infected mosquito.”
There were 30 West Nile cases in the state last year, with 14 hospitalizations and one death -- a southwest North Dakota resident over the age of 60, according to Health Department data. Burleigh County had five cases and Morton County two cases last year. In 2020 there were seven West Nile cases statewide and no deaths, and no cases in Burleigh-Morton.
Precautions against the mosquito bites that can cause West Nile include the use of insect repellents; wearing protective clothing; limiting outdoor activities at dusk and dawn; eliminating stagnant water where mosquitoes lay eggs; installing and maintaining window screens; and maintaining a well-trimmed yard.

Most people infected with West Nile virus experience no symptoms. Those who develop symptoms commonly report fever, headache, body/joint aches or rash. People who develop severe illness may experience a stiff neck, altered mental status, paralysis, coma and possibly death. People over 60 or those who have underlying health issues are at greater risk for developing West Nile neuroinvasive disease.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo — A Colorado man was recovering after he was gored by a bison at Yellowstone National Park Monday, park officials said. It happened near Giant Geyser at Old Faithful.
The man, a 34-year-old from Colorado Springs, was walking with his family on a boardwalk when a bull bison charged the group. The family did not leave the area, and the bison continued to charge and gored the man, park officials said.
The man sustained an injury to his arm. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
"This is the second reported incident in 2022 of a visitor getting too close to the animal and the bison responding to the perceived threat by goring the individual," park officials said in a release.
Video of the incident is below:
A 25-year-old Ohio woman was gored and tossed into the air by a bison at the park over Memorial Day weekend. Park officials said as the bison walked near a boardwalk, the woman approached it. The bison then gored and tossed her 10 feet into the air. She suffered a puncture wound and other injuries.
The park reminded visitors that wildlife in Yellowstone is wild and can be dangerous when approached. When an animal is near a campsite, trail, boardwalk, parking lot or in a developed area, visitors should give it space.
Stay more than 25 yards away from all large animals – bison, elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and coyotes – and at least 100 yards away from bears and wolves. If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal.

A motorcyclist has died after striking a traffic signal pole on Tucson’s northwest side earlier this week.
On Sunday, June 26, James H. Sturgill, 50, was traveling west on West Wetmore Road on a black 2014 Harley Davidson FLHXS when he failed to negotiate a slight shift in the roadway at the intersection of North Fairview Avenue, driving onto and over the raised traffic island and striking a traffic signal pole, Tucson police said.
Sturgill was taken to Banner-University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, police said. He was pronounced dead Tuesday, June 28.
Failure to reduce/control speed to avoid a collision and probable impairment are the major contributing factors in the collision, police said.

TEXAS, USA — A man who was acquitted for murder by reason of insanity has escaped a state hospital in Vernon, Texas, according to police.
Alexander Scott Ervin, 29, escaped from the North Texas State Hospital and hasn't been seen since Sunday.
Surveillance footage shows Ervin escaped from his room Sunday night, then was seen scaling an 8-foot security fence around 9:15 p.m. He was last seen heading north.
Ervin is described as standing between 5 feet 8 inches tall and 6 feet. He's approximately 206 pounds, bald and has a mustache. He was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, black shirt and tan pants with black shoes.
Vernon police say Ervin is armed and dangerous.
Ervin was acquitted of stabbing his father to death in 2013 in the Austin area, claiming that his father, Ray Ervin, was an imposter. He also claimed to be a trained member of the CIA on a mission to kill his father, according to testimony from his brother Maxwell Ervin.
Maxwell said Alexander attacked their dad with a pipe wrench and a folding knife. When police arrived at the home, they found Alexander calm and quiet, but scratched, beaten and covered in blood, according to the Austin American-Statesmen.
A Travis County jury found Alexander Ervin, who is autistic, not guilty of murder by reason of insanity.

AUSTIN, Texas — Railroad Commissioners of Texas approved a weatherization rule Wednesday.
The rule would help implement weather emergency preparation measures and require a facility to contact the RRC if a weather-related stoppage occurs during a weather emergency.
This rule, if finalized, would apply to all critical facilities currently on Texas' Electricity Supply Chain Map and any subsequent versions.
Operators must weatherize their facilities in a manner appropriate to the type of facility, its location and weather data for its area among other factors.
Among these facilities are gas processing plants, underground storage facilities and natural gas wells and oil leases producing casinghead gas.
Any facilities not meeting these standards could see fines of up to $1 million for each day of non-compliance.
After the rule was approved, it will now be open for public comment until August 15. After the cutoff date the comments will be reviewed and commissioners will adopt a final rule.
“Today’s proposed rule strikes an appropriate balance to ensure facilities are prepared for extreme weather events while providing needed flexibility for operators to ensure compliance with Commission standards,” Commissioner Jim Wright said in a press release.
The ruling comes after nearly a year and a half of scrutiny from Texans after the power grid was unable to handle the strain during the February 2021 Winter Storm.
In the year since, ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission have been working to winterize equipment to prevent a repeat of that event.

The tractor-trailer carrying the migrants in San Antonio may have been cloned.
KHOU 11 Investigates talked to the owner of a South Texas trucking company who claimed someone stole his federal and state identification numbers and put them on the truck found outside of San Antonio.
The truck has been making headlines since Monday evening. It has especially caught Felipe Betancourt, Jr.'s eye in Alamo, Texas.
“It's sad, you know, just knowing how many people died inside that truck,” Betancourt said.
Bentancourt sent KHOU 11 cell phone video showing how strikingly similar the truck found in San Antonio is similar to the one his father uses to ship products for his company Betancourt Trucking and Harvesting. He notes, though, that there is one big difference.
“That truck does not belong to us. I know that wasn't my truck because my truck’s been here in the valley running grain and sorghum since last Friday,” Betancourt said.
The truck in San Antonio is the same color and has the same identifying numbers from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Texas Department of Transportation.
The duplication is known as cloning.
CEO of the Texas Trucking Association John Esparza says it’s a real problem.
“There's been a rash of these cloning activities. I know roughly 73% of these cases, as far as cloning goes, are passenger vehicles,” Esparza said.
Esparza said like with VINs, technology is making it easier to do.
“It seems to me that if it's on the rise that more and more people are figuring out how to do that. With things occurring out there, you have to be more concerned that this will happen again, and we've got to raise awareness over what has occurred,” Esparza said.
With the exception of updating their registration numbers, there is not much that truckers can do to protect themselves, Esparza said.
Betancourt says the ordeal is frustrating and worrisome.
“I mean, nobody has spoken to us about that. We are not worried about the investigation. We have nothing to hide. We welcome any law enforcement, anybody that wants to speak to us. We're willing to cooperate with them,” Betancourt said.
Betancourt believes his truck’s identification numbers may have been cloned during a shipment to Laredo last week. | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/texas/truck-carrying-migrants-in-san-antonio-may-have-been-cloned/285-003164ee-bd86-4fba-8072-ab5667bd48af | 2022-06-29T18:36:53 | 0 | https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/local/texas/truck-carrying-migrants-in-san-antonio-may-have-been-cloned/285-003164ee-bd86-4fba-8072-ab5667bd48af |
DELAND, Fla. – A DeLand fireworks store employee confessed to stealing fireworks that are estimated to be worth $14,239.42 total, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
The Four Seasons Fireworks business manager reported to deputies on Tuesday that Jessica Clark, 33, was stealing the products, the sheriff’s office said.

Clark reportedly told management that she intended to resell the fireworks to pay off personal debt, deputies said.
“I made a big mistake and I own up to it... I am truly sorry and it’s nothing against you... I will load them backup in the car in the morning and make a couple loads back to the store. I’m just (dealing) with a lot of stuff,” Clark wrote in a series of texts to management after an employee told them about the incident. I know it’s not excuse, but I was just trying to make a lot of extra money and I was gonna pay you for them on top of it.”
The sheriff’s office said that Clark loaded her vehicle with fireworks on multiple occasions.
Deputies said Clark, who faces a charge of grand theft of more than $10,000, returned what she took and confessed to the thefts after being confronted by an employee.
Clark was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail on Tuesday afternoon and was later released on a $5,000 bond, deputies said.
