As artificial intelligence becomes more common in our daily lives, some members of Congress are pushing to regulate its use in the workplace.
A new proposal dubbed the No Robot Bosses Act aims to protect employees from being fired or having hiring decisions solely made by an automated system.
Supporters of the measure point to examples such as a company’s recruitment software automatically rejecting an application because of a gap in the person’s resume.
The bill would require employers to disclose when and how these automated systems are being used and it would require employers to use human oversight over the use of AI in the workplace.
Our Washington News Bureau spoke with Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), who sponsored the bill in the Senate.
“We got to make sure that workplace security and the dignity and value of workers are protected,” Casey said. “We want to make sure that we have a focus on taking steps to make sure that when artificial intelligence is used, as it will be and continues to be used throughout society, that we have some check on that when it comes to the workplace so someone is not fired by a robot.”
This comes as the AI industry is cautioning against too much government regulation.
We spoke with Josh Jackson, co-founder of The AI Association, about the proposal.
“I think there’s opportunity to obviously enhance his proposal because we don’t want too much regulation to hinder employers,” Jackson said. “This looks like it’s leaning more toward putting more constraints on the employer, which does not help the cause to increase innovation and help the employees do their job better.”
Jackson said the industry supports having a framework that outlines best practices without discouraging the growth of new technology.
“It’s good to have something in place that outlines sort of like a contract, right, of we’re agreeing to these terms and these rules and that helps make things clear,” Jackson said.
Another proposal introduced by Sen. Casey called the Exploitative Workplace Surveillance and Technologies Task Force Act would create a task force to oversee workplace surveillance through artificial intelligence.
That task force would be led by the Department of Labor and the Office of Science and Technology Policy and would have to submit reports to Congress.
The goal of the proposal is to shed light on how and when algorithms and automated systems are being used by employers to surveil employees and their impact.
Republicans in Congress, meanwhile, have warned against too much government overreach regarding artificial intelligence.
A spokesperson for Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he is focused on educating lawmakers about AI and has hosted House-wide briefings where members of both parties can question industry experts to discuss the best path forward.
“We want to work collaboratively together on being able to craft legislation that fosters the growth of AI, while protecting it from any fears that some might have,” McCarthy said during a press conference on July 17.

PITTSBURGH — A new $50 million grant will demolish old apartments and create beautiful new housing for the already existing residents of Bedford Dwellings and many more units still to come.
“We do need housing, we need more housing, and we need more housing,” Randall Taylor from the Hill District Consensus Group said.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE >> PA officials say $50 million will be put towards building affordable housing in Bedford Dwellings
Affordable housing is a term used a lot but what does it really mean? For advocates of the Hill District, it’s an opportunity to create vibrant, safe and thriving neighborhoods, and recently state leaders announced $50 million to go towards that vision.
The neighborhood revitalization grant will be used to rehab Bedford Dwellings housing complex by creating more than 800 new affordable housing units.
Current residents told Channel 11 that this is needed.
Advocates say for this to be a true success there is still work to be done. In the future, they also want lawmakers to ensure that there is a pipeline for affordable homeownership.
City officials estimate that the project will be completed over the next six years.

INDIANAPOLIS — On Tuesday, city leaders and developers hosted a ribbon cutting for the Wesley Place Apartments on the near north side.
The $43 million project from Chatham Park Development and Arrow Street Development sits in the heart of the city's new health district on the corner of 18th and Illinois streets.
It consists of 244 units, with 25 of them being categorized as affordable. The new complex is also located near two IndyGo Red Line stops.
"Wesley Place fulfills many of our goals for a more equitable and accessible Indianapolis, as housing remains a top priority," said Mayor Joe Hogsett. "The city's and Arrow Street's shared commitment to enhancing quality of life will shape the Health District for decades."
Wesley Place also sits just steps away from IU Health Methodist Hospital and the company's $4.3 billion hospital expansion.
"We are thrilled to welcome residents to the Wesley Place Apartments today," said Rodney Byrnes, founder and president of Arrow Street Development. "Combined with IU Health's multi-billion dollar hospital complex expansion, we are proud to be early leaders in the largest neighborhood development in the history of Indianapolis."
Arrow Street also plans to add another apartment complex on the southwest corner of 18th and Illinois streets. It is called Hall Place and is scheduled to break ground later this year with 280 units.
"Wesley Place and soon-to-be-built Hall Place are the most significant residential investments in history in this part of town," said Chatham Park president Paul Vezolles. "We're replacing acres of old asphalt with new residents and walkable vibrancy. Placemaking is what we're all about and these combined 520 units are just the beginning."
Recently, the city also approved a new tax-increment-financing (TIF) district for the North Meridian corridor. Leaders hope it will spur more projects like Wesley and Hall Place.
"This will keep property taxes in the neighborhood for projects that the community supports," said Rusty Carr, director of the Department of Metropolitan Development.
Other projects also include the construction of "1827 Lofts" near 18th and Meridian streets and the renovation of the old Drake Apartments near 30th and Meridian streets. Last week, the city officially became the new owner of the property.
IU Health's downtown Indianapolis hospital campus is set to finish in 2027. It stretches across 44 acres.

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – With three “disturbances” reported in the tropics this week — one of which could impact Florida going into this weekend — Flagler County officials are pushing for residents to prepare for storms.
“While it is too early to tell what sort of impacts, if any, these disturbances will pose for Flagler County, now is the perfect time to make sure you are ready for any potential hurricane,” Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord said. “We are still approaching the peak of hurricane season.”
Flagler County is introducing a new map to help the community understand who may need to evacuate in the case of a hurricane or severe storm.
Residents can access the map and enter their address to see whether they may be ordered to evacuate for a hurricane. That map can be accessed by clicking here.
[EXCLUSIVE: Become a News 6 Insider (it’s FREE) | PINIT! Share your photos]
“Historically, the busiest part of hurricane season for (the county) is between mid-August and mid-October,” Lord said. “But we shouldn’t be complacent, as tropical storms can strike any time during the season. They cannot even be ruled out outside of the June-through-November window.”
In addition to using the map, county residents are urged to take steps ahead of potential disasters, including:
- Build a disaster supply kit that has food, water, medications, flashlights, batteries and clothes to live off of for at least seven days
- Make a plan for how to fortify your home, evacuate to nearby shelters, communicate with loved ones and consider special needs
- Sign up for emergency notifications through the county’s alert system and have a battery-powered AM/FM radio
For more information on how to plan for an emergency, visit the Flagler County website here or pick up a copy of the county’s Emergency/Disaster Preparedness Guide at a local county library.

BLOOMINGTON — A 18-year-old Peoria man is facing felony charges after police said he confronted someone in McLean County with a stolen shotgun.
Sincere L. Walker appeared in a Monday bond court hearing before Judge Scott Black, who found probable cause for his arrest.
Assistant State's Attorney Brad Rigdon said Normal Police Department officers were dispatched at 1:45 am. Sunday to a report of an armed subject in the 1300 block of Dalton Drive. He said a witness reported the suspect got into a white vehicle that left the area.
The prosecutor said the vehicle was located later by officers, as a male suspect later identified as Walker was seen exiting it and fleeing again before police ultimately took him into custody. Rigdon said officers were told Walker was upset that he loaned his car to someone who crashed it, and he confronted the person with a shotgun.
He said police found an unloaded and uncased 12 gauge Pardus shotgun that had been discarded at a nearby apartment building, and had been reported as stolen.
Walker is charged with possession of a stolen firearm, a Class 2 felony; violating the Illinois FOID Act, a Class 3 felony; and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, a Class 4 felony.
Judge Black set his bond at $100,000, with 10% to apply for release. He also ordered him to have no contact with the victim.
His next hearing is 9 a.m. Aug. 11.
A failed Republican candidate who authorities said was angry over his defeat and made baseless claims the election last November was rigged against him was arrested in connection with a series of drive-by shootings targeting the homes of Democratic lawmakers in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Solomon Pena, 39, was arrested Monday evening, just hours after SWAT officers took him into custody and served search warrants at his home, police said.Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina described Pena as the mastermind of what he said appears to be a politically motivated conspiracy leading to shootings at the homes of two county commissioners and two state legislators between early December and early January.No one was injured in the shootings but in one case three bullets passed through the bedroom of a state senators 10-year-old daughter.Pena ran unsuccessfully in November against incumbent state Rep. Miguel P. Garcia, the longtime Democrat representing House District 14 in the South Valley. Garcia won by 48 percentage points, or roughly 3,600 votes.After the election, police said, Pena showed up uninvited at the elected officials' homes with what he claimed were documents proving he had won his race. There was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in New Mexico in 2020 or 2022.The shootings began shortly after those conversations.SEE MORE: Calls to protect Congressional members grow in wake of Pelosi attackThis type of radicalism is a threat to our nation and has made its way to our doorstep right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico," Mayor Tim Keller said. But I know we are going to push back, and we will not allow this to cross the threshold.Four men conspired with Pena, who is accused of paying them cash to carry out at least two of the drive-by shootings in stolen vehicles, while Pena pulled the trigger during one of the crimes, Deputy Police Commander Kyle Hartsock said.Detectives identified Pena as their key suspect using a combination of cellphone and vehicle records, witness interviews and bullet casings collected at the lawmakers homes, police said. His arrest came one week after Medina announced they had identified a suspect in the shootings.A lawyer for Pena who could comment on the allegations wasnt listed Monday night in jail records.No one was injured in the shootings, which unfolded amid a rise in threats to members of Congress, school board members, election officials and other government workers around the nation. In Albuquerque, law enforcement has struggled to address back-to-back years of record homicides and persistent gun violence.The shootings began Dec. 4, when eight rounds were fired at the home of Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa. Days later, state Rep. Javier Martinez's home was targeted, followed by a Dec. 11 shooting at the home of Bernalillo County Commissioner Debbie OMalley. More than a dozen rounds were fired at her home, police said.The final related shooting, targeting state Sen. Linda Lopez's home, unfolded in the midnight hour of Jan. 3. Police said more than a dozen shots were fired and Lopez said three of the bullets passed through her 10-year-old daughters bedroom.SEE MORE: 2022 Year in Review: Gun ViolenceInvestigators received a break in the case after technology that can detect the sound of gunfire led an officer to Lopez's neighborhood shortly after the shots were fired.The officer found bullet casings matching a handgun found later that morning in a Nissan Maxima registered to Pena. Around 1:30 a.m., about an hour after the shooting at Lopez's home, police stopped the Nissan about 4 miles from the lawmaker's neighborhood.The driver, identified Monday night as Jose Trujillo, was arrested on an outstanding warrant, leading to the discovery of more than 800 fentanyl pills and two firearms in the car, police said.A criminal complaint outlining the exact charges against the former political candidate was expected to be released in the coming days. Additional arrests and charges also were expected, but police declined to elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation.Detectives also were investigating two additional shootings they initially believed could be related to the Pena case: one in the vicinity of New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrezs former campaign office and another at state Sen. Antonio Maestas office. Police on Monday said the shootings do not appear to be connected.The New Mexico Republican Party condemned Pena in a statement Monday night. If Pena is found guilty, he must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.Additional reporting by The Associated Press.
A guide to the US military guns most often lost or stolen
M4 CARBINE
The U.S. military’s go-to rifle, used by most units, especially within the infantry and special operations. The M4 is related to the AR-15, the civilian rifles that many American mass shooters have used. One defining difference: M4s can switch to fully automatic or fire a three-round burst.
Evolved from the M16s first introduced during the Vietnam War, the M4 also was born from combat necessity. Engagements in Panama and Somalia in the late ’80s and early ‘90s showed the need for a more compact firearm suited to close-quarters combat. The M4 and its shorter barrel debuted in 1994.
Each weapon costs the military around $700. At 7 pounds when loaded with a 30-round magazine, it weighs less than a gallon of milk. That magazine is loaded with 5.56 mm “green-tip” bullets, which can penetrate hard targets such as body armor. The rifle’s effective range is 500 meters (1,640 feet) -- more than five football fields -- but its bullets can reach 3,600 meters, or nearly 12,000 feet.
In November 2015, a civilian broke into an Army armory and stole six M4 carbines and 10 M11 pistols. All six of the M4 carbines were recovered but five of the 10 M11 pistols remain at large.

M240 MACHINE GUN
A product of the late-70s, this fully automatic machine gun is still used today by every branch of the U.S. military. The modern-day versions of the weapon -- the M240 Bravo and Golf respectively -- is used extensively by ground, air and sea forces.
Originally manufactured as a secondary weapon for tanks and light armored vehicles, the M240’s reliability as a medium machine gun was later adopted for use by ground and mobile infantry units seeking to replace the Vietnam-era M60 machine gun.
Each weapon costs roughly between $6,000 and $9,000 depending on the version and can weigh upwards of 23 pounds unloaded. The M240 can commonly be seen mounted on vehicles, watercraft and aircraft. While the machine gun is equipped with bipods to assist in stability and accuracy, use of the weapon in infantry units can fall to a crew which helps carry the weapon’s ammunition and tripod.
The M240 is the only weapon outside long-range sniper rifles to use a 7.62 round -- which can essentially be compared to .308 Winchester ammunition used by civilians to hunt big game like elk, bear and deer. The machine gun effective range is 1,800 meters (5,905 feet) -- more than 16 football fields -- but its bullets can reach a maximum range of 3,725 meters or 12,221 feet and is capable of firing between 650 to 950 rounds per minute.
Branches of the U.S. military are looking at options to retire the machine gun for a more modern replacement.

M16 RIFLE
A staple of the American military arsenal since 1964, the M16 is the longest-serving standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military until October 2015. That’s when the M4 carbine was chosen to replace the M16 as the primary weapon among infantry and support units.
Rivaled in international recognition and popularity perhaps only to the AK-47, the M16 became an icon via the photographs and film reels of mud-soaked GIs navigating the jungles of Vietnam.
Born out of Colt’s AR-15 design with input from DARPA, the Pentagon’s research agency, the M16 was designed as a replacement for the heavier M14 rifle. Since its controversial debut during the early years of the Vietnam War when many soldiers reported misfires, the improved and expanded M16 variants became the primary rifle for ground combat forces in Somalia and the Gulf War, and the post 9/11 wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Weighing in at roughly 9 pounds when loaded with a 30-round magazine, the M16 and its variants are capable of either automatic fire (three-round burst or fully auto) or semiautomatic (single shot). The rifle’s effective range is 800 meters (2,624 feet) but its rounds -- 5.56mm NATO -- can reach 3,600 meters, or more than 11,800 feet. The current version of the rifle, the M16A4, has been slowly marching towards retirement over the past several years to be replaced by the M4 carbine.

M9 SERVICE PISTOL
Until recent years, the Beretta M9, officially known as the Pistol, Semiautomatic, 9 mm, M9, and its different versions has been the primary sidearm of the U.S. military since 1985. The M9 is the military version of the Beretta 92 FS made in the mid-’70s in Italy, where Beretta, a company founded in 1526, is headquartered. The defining difference between the two models: the finish and the sights.
In the late-1970s, the House Committee on Appropriations recommended that the Defense Department adopt a standard-issue sidearm for every branch of service to replace its aging stock of M1911, an iconic .45 caliber Colt pistol that saw wide use from World War I to the Vietnam War, and the Smith & Wesson .38 Special used by the U.S. Air Force.
The M9 has seen a variety of mechanical and overall design upgrades since the ’80s, but generally speaking, the M9 sports a 15-round magazine capacity and weighs just over 2 pounds when fully loaded with 9mm NATO rounds. The M9’s effective range is 50 meters (164 feet) but can achieve up to 100 meters, or 328 feet. The M9 is currently being phased out of military service in favor of pistols made by Sig Sauer, a German firearms company.

M203 GRENADE LAUNCHER
A product of the Vietnam War, the M203 is a single-shot, pump-action grenade launcher that can be used as a stand-alone weapon or mounted to the under-barrel of M16 rifles and M4 carbines. From explosive to illumination and signal, the M203 can fire 40mm rounds.
In May 1963, the U.S. military wanted a grenade launcher that could be mounted to the under-barrel of the AR-15 that was already in early field testing. At the time, grunts in Vietnam were using the M79 grenade launcher; the soldier who carried the “thumper” commonly only had a sidearm to use in firefights, unless they chose to carry both the M16 and M79. After years of extensive design and field testing, the Army first adopted the M203 in 1969.
With a maximum effective range of about 350 meters, or 1,148 feet, the M203 is slowly being phased out for the new M320 Grenade Launcher made by Heckler Koch, a German defense manufacturing company.

MOSSBERG SHOTGUN
The Mossberg is one of the most widely used tactical shotguns in the U.S. military and law enforcement. In the military, the Mossberg and its variations are deployed in close-quarters combat and as a breaching tool for doorways.
With a legacy dating back to trench warfare during World War I, the U.S. military has a long history of including shotguns in its arsenal. The Mossberg is a 12-gauge, pump action shotgun with various barrel lengths and magazine capacities. It has an effective firing range of about 40 meters, or 130 feet.
Investigative documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests showed that at least 53 Mossberg shotguns have been lost or stolen in the 2010s.

BROWNING M2
The .50 caliber Browning M2 and its variant models have been used by the U.S. military for over 100 years. This heavy machinegun can be mounted on aircraft, watercraft and vehicles and is capable of firing between 450 to 600 rounds per minute.
Designed near the end of World War I, the Browning M2 is an air-cooled, belt-fed heavy machine gun firing .50 caliber rounds. The effective firing range is about 1,800 meters (5,905 feet) but its rounds are capable of reaching out to 7,400 meters, or 24,278 feet. The average cost of a Browning M2 is roughly $14,000.

URBANDALE, Iowa — In May of 2022, the Urbandale Police Department installed more than a dozen traffic scanning cameras around the city to improve public safety.
Just over one year later, city officials are now confidently saying that the investment is paying off.
“They've been quite successful, not only in our investigative work, but also in getting warrants off the street, in assisting in finding missing children, as well as assisting in finding people that have warrants out for their arrest,” Community Resource Officer Holly Pickett told Local 5.
When a car is stolen or a suspect is on the loose, Pickett says they rely on license plate information to identify the vehicle as criminals tend to move from city to city.
With this in mind, Urbandale police added 14 traffic scanning devices, called “Flock” cameras, throughout the city at various intersections. Alongside other local agencies who have done the same, all the cameras in the Des Moines metro area can be accessed at any time.
And after 14 months of testing the cameras out, officer believe the success is speaking for itself.
“They have assisted in a total of 59 warrant arrests, a total 14 recovered stolen vehicles, and one missing child that has been recovered, due solely because of that flat camera system," Pickett said.
On July 11, the Urbandale City Council approved a request from law enforcement for six additional cameras, which will cost the city around $250,000.
The devices will now cover nearly every corner of the city, in all directions, at all times.
Officials and officers hope the additions will further enhance a system that is producing results and cracking cases.
“The more intersections that we can cover, the more cameras that we can cover," Pickett said, "Then, obviously, the more places that we are weeding out, that people can travel through while committing crimes in the city."
A full list of Flock camera locations in Urbandale, including those set to be installed, can be found here.

The family of Jarrell Garris is demanding justice after their son was shot and killed by police after allegedly stealing some fruit -- their calls come as new body camera footage of the shooting has been made public.
The three pieces of police footage put out Tuesday, which altogether last less than four minutes, were released by the New York Attorney General's Office nearly two weeks after Garris died and three weeks after the violent exchange with police in New Rochelle.
Garris died on July 10, exactly one week after being shot in the back of the head when multiple officers responded to a reported store theft on Lincoln Avenue.
The man's family said they have watched not just the few minutes of footage released to the public, but more than 20 minutes of recorded video from the three officers involved. They want all the video disclosed.

Raymond Fowler, the 37-year-old's father, characterized his death as a "modern day lynching."
"My son was shot behind the ear, he was paralyzed instantly," Fowler said. "I have to carry that for the rest of my life."
Conn had arrived on the scene after two female officers responded to a complaint that Garris, who has mental health issues, had taken fruit from a grocery store without paying.
News
The New Rochelle Police Department sparked outrage by only releasing video that cut off the moment before the shooting, and claiming Garris had reached for an officer's gun. The family and community members demanded release of the video in its entirety.
Family attorney William Wagstaff III said the real story is what Conn did and said after the shooting.
"You see Officer Conn arrive at the scene, immediately escalate the situation by physically grabbing Jarrell. [Conn] places a handcuff on [Garris], there's a scuffle, and then as the scuffle starts to unfold, he shoots him in the back of his neck," Wagstaff said.
"That's when he then tries to narrate his way out of the murder he just committed by saying, 'Oh, he's got your gun, he's got your gun.' The officer in response says, 'No dude, I got my gun,' and turns and shows she still has her firearm in her holster. It was a blatant lie."
The three officers involved are currently on paid administrative leave.
A spokesperson from the New Rochelle Police Department said officials are waiting on the state's investigation before making any personnel decisions.
Garris's funeral will be held on Saturday at the same church where he was baptised, and only steps from where he was shot.

MUKILTEO, Wash. — Counterfeit drugs with fentanyl are often made with a tool called a pill press. Now a law is in effect banning pill presses in the state of Washington.
It comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that Washington recently saw the single highest spike in reported drug overdose deaths of all U.S. states.
One Mukilteo mother said, for her, the fight against counterfeit pills is personal.
"He was like the fun leader he was the glue that kind of kept our family together," said Gen Pehlivanian, whose first-born son died in 2019.
Trygve Pehlivanian from Mukilteo was dealing with a terrible sore and swollen throat that would not go away after visits to the ER, said his mother Gen Pehlivanian.
"He was just trying to, ya know, get some pain relief," Gen Pehlivanian said.
So he turned to a person he knew who dealt drugs.
"And bought what he thought was Percocet," Gen Pehlivanian said.
Trygve Pehlivanian died at just 20 years old from the fentanyl in that pill.
"And that's why I tell his story because I know he'd want me to use his story to prevent other kids and other families from going through what we've gone through," Gen Pehlivanian said.
Soon after, her pain turned to action.
"People should know about this," Gen Pehlivanian said. "I need to get into the schools and have them teach these kids awareness and prevention."
Gen Pehlivanian was invited Monday to share her story at a round-table discussion and listening session hosted by U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-WA, about the fentanyl crisis.
She pushed for a state-mandated fentanyl awareness prevention and education plan.
"I kind of gave my spiel and there were not really any questions on her side about it," Gen Pehlivanian said.
A spokesperson for Cantwell’s office told KING 5, “Throughout the listening tour, the senator has talked about the need for educating everyone, especially young people, on the deadliness and ubiquitous nature of fentanyl.”
In a press release ahead of the roundtable, Cantwell cited better education as part of the solution: “We need to take a multi-pronged approach to tackling this crisis. That means increasing capacity for treatment centers, better supporting first responders and law enforcement, including stocking them with naloxone and Narcan, and helping people before they become addicted by increasing our mental health care workforce, affordable housing, and better educating the public on how deadly fentanyl is. We also need to cut off the supply of this scourge before it gets into our communities in the first place.”
Under Washington state law, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) oversees and develops the state’s learning standards. In 2022, OSPI published guidelines on overdose treatment and training. That move came after the Washington state legislature passed Senate Bill 5380 requiring all school districts with 2,000 students or more to maintain opioid overdose reversal medication starting in the 2020-2021 school year. A statewide awareness requirement could follow that same path to implementation.
In the meantime, Gen Pehlivanian's efforts for awareness will continue, in hopes of making her son proud.
"I'm sure he's saying, 'Good job Mom. That's what I would have done,'" Gen Pehlivanian said.

PORTLAND, Oregon — One of the four women found dead in Oregon made an accusation of assault against the man identified as a person of interest in the investigations just months before her death.
The Willamette Week newspaper reports that in November of last year Ashley Real, 22, filed an allegation of domestic violence against 38-year-old Jesse Calhoun.
Real's remains were discovered by deputies on May 7 in a heavily wooded area near Eagle Creek, off Southeast Judd Road in rural Clackamas County.
Her father, Jose Real, told The Associated Press on Friday that he called police on Nov. 11 after she showed up, crying, at his Portland home, saying she had been choked by Calhoun. She had marks on her throat, he said, and he took her to a hospital.
A Portland police officer took an initial report from Real and his daughter and she gave the officer Calhoun’s name. Police wanted her to help find him but she was scared to do so, he said.
Because the location of the alleged assault was outside Portland police jurisdiction, the department referred the case to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. Real said he never heard back from the sheriff's office, even though he and his wife called repeatedly.
Real had last been seen in late March and a missing person report was filed with Portland police on April 4, 2023.
Authorities are not releasing the domestic violence report because of the pending death investigation.
Real said he was grateful his daughter was found and he can visit her remains in a Clackamas County cemetery.
“I can tell her, ‘Daddy’s here, mija ... you know how much I miss you,'” Real said, using an affectionate Spanish term for daughter.
Calhoun is a person of interest in the deaths of four women who's bodies were found over over the past six months. He has not been charged with any crimes connected to their deaths, and police have yet to publicly identify him as the person of interest. The Willamette Week was the first to report his name after authorities released information saying they had connected the four cases to one person.
Calhoun is currently back in prison, having been arrested in early June on unrelated parole violation charges.
KGW has obtained court documents dating back to 2007 that show Calhoun's previous criminal history. A former girlfriend claims that while drinking in a bar in Baker County in November of 2007, Calhoun grabbed her by the throat to the point she could not breathe. A short time later, Calhoun punched her repeatedly in the head and arm. Court documents show that a year later, Calhoun was accused of pulling her off a bike and dragging her 50 feet across a parking lot.
Much more recently Calhoun is accused of threatening the father of another girlfriend's children. It's all laid out in a stalking protective order filed in Clackamas County court in May of 2022.
"I know everything about you dude," Calhoun texted the father in April of last year. "Everywhere you go. What you do. Stop f****** with Krista dude. I'm going to tell this to you only once."
"You are a cocky son of a b**** that will always get yours when the time is right," Calhoun texted one day later.
A judge would eventually deny the father's request for the stalking protective order, saying he did not prove a basis for the order.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dallas removed shared scooters and bikes from the streets years ago after many problems and complaints but they returned in May with new rules and new vendors.
In a Friday memo, the Dallas City Council Members said 674 complaints about shared scooters or bikes were reported to Dallas 311 by phone or online from May through July 17th.
Jessica Scott with the Dallas Transportation Department said many complaints centered on improper parking or storage of the vehicles.
The complaints are forwarded to vendors who must promptly address the issues.
“We’re extremely satisfied with the response that the operators are showing. They’re improving rapidly. And for now, we’re satisfied with that response and really just allowing some time for these growing pains to resolve,” Scott said.
The so-called “dockless vehicle program” is much different than in years past. Instead of thousands of bikes or scooters and many vendors competing for customers there are only three companies, each limited to 500 scooters for bikes for a total of just 1,500. The companies are Bird, Lime and Superpedestrian.
Details on all the rules can be found here.

The latest news from around North Texas.
New technology is supposed to shut them off if they operate in places or times they are not allowed.
Stephanie Keller Hudiberg who leads the Deep Ellum Foundation said that feature is not working properly on many scooters.
“The scooters are not all shutting off at 9 p.m. like they are supposed to. There’s still changes that need to be made in the program,” Hudiberg said. “So far in Deep Ellum, our stakeholders are not pleased to see the firms are not always abiding by the rules the city has set, that the city worked for a year to set.”
She said more parking corrals are also needed to keep scooters from cluttering sidewalks. Riders are told not to ride on sidewalks and not to park the vehicles blocking sidewalks.
Most of the complaints have come in the Deep Ellum and Downtown Dallas area.
Jennifer Scripps leads the downtown business group, Downtown Dallas Inc.
“There are challenges, and I think a little bit of it is continuing to change user behavior to things like ‘please don’t ride on the sidewalk’” she said.
Scripps said the vendors have been responsive to her group’s efforts to improve the program as a low-emission mobility option.
“It’s that last mile of transportation. It gets them from a DART stop to a job site or a school,” Scripps said.
Scott said the City of Dallas wants to see the program succeed to boost mobility and help improve air quality.
Fines are possible for vendors or users who violate the rules.
“There haven’t been penalties per se but we have been in communication with the operators outlining our expectations,” Scott said.
Officials are gathering data on shared scooters and bikes to help decide if changes in the rules if necessary.

Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey are asking people to mail in deceased butterflies, moths and skippers to establish a research collection.
The Lepidoptera Research Collection will help USGS scientists identify contaminants and environmental factors contributing to the decline of insect populations.
"There are some questions that can't effectively be answered without help from a lot of people. It's what makes citizen science so special and valuable," said Julie Dietze, USGS scientist-in-charge of the effort. "Collections like this one are important because they have the potential to provide scientists now, and 20 years from now, access to specimens. Without the specimens, it will be far more difficult to answer questions related to contaminants and environmental health."
Butterflies, moths and skippers from the following states are needed: Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas, though specimens that are protected under the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Endangered Species Act or listed as threatened or endangered under state law cannot be accepted. To see a listing of protected species in Texas, click here.
The deadline to mail the specimens is Nov. 1. Collection and shipping instructions can be found in the document embedded below:

WILKES-BARRE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — There's a different kind of penguin attracting folks to Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township for a Christmas in July supply drive for United Way of Wyoming Valley.
These donations will go toward 'nurses pantries' that United Way has set up at 27 schools in 8 districts in our area.
"We found out there was an attendance problem in the Wyoming Valley, and we said how can we keep kids in school and what we did was we developed the nurse's pantry," said Yvette Magistro, United Way of Wyoming Valley VP of Resource Development.
As an in-school resource that helps at-risk children meet, basic hygiene and school supply needs to keep them in school.
"What is keeping them out of the classroom was very basic things like brother sharing one pair of shoes, so only one can go one day, the other can go another day," said Magistro.
Folks dropping off donations here were able to get a discount on tickets to upcoming events at the arena.
"You give back, and you get it back in return, so 25% off can't beat that and plus give a donation to help somebody out, so it's a win-win for everybody," said Ryan Kratz, Kingston.
As a teacher himself, Ryan Kratz says a nurse's pantry is a worthy cause, especially if it helps children feel more comfortable in school.
"It's a lot, yeah. And I try to like there's like donations and stuff like that like they want to, so it's yeah, it's nice to get back. Let kids have a date. You know, you don't want everyone's been in school, everyone's been picked on, so you want to make sure that everyone doesn't have that happen to them," said Kratz.
Donations made here will then be added to the larger collection dropoff taking place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday at United Way of Wyoming Valley in Wilkes-Barre.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (WJHL) — A Christmas in July block party took place in Bristol on Tuesday to support the Johnia Berry Toy Drive.
Community members brought toys to the Bristol TN/VA Association of Realtors (BTVAR) to donate to the drive, which provides presents to children in need during the holidays. The block party was a collaboration between BTVAR and Bristol, Tennessee City Schools, and featured multiple local food trucks.
President of BTVAR Kashia Bordwine said the block party turned out to be a success for both the community and the toy drive.
“It turned out wonderful, anything from past clients to just community members who have seen our signs out, realtors had buggies full of stuff [to donate] today,” she said. “Several agencies in our area and of our membership contributed to the gifts. There was a lot of love poured onto that porch.”
The toy drive was founded to remember Johnia Berry, a woman who was killed during an apartment robbery in 2004. Leaders of the organization said the robbery case led to the creation of the Johnia Berry Act in 2007, which requires a person arrested for a violent felony to provide specimens for DNA analysis.
Berry was known for her generosity and kindness, and the drive was created to keep her name and admirable qualities alive. To this day, the Johnia Berry Toy Drive provides hundreds of local children with Christmas presents that otherwise would not have any.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – The heat is making its way into town and continues to hit communities across the world.
“To put it into context, it will probably be the coolest year we will have for the next couple of decades,” said Craig Ramseyer, a climate expert at Virginia Tech.
Experts said this year is one of the hottest years on record, and it is only going to get hotter.
“All the research suggests the magnitude of this heat wave we are experiencing is only going to get more frequent and worsen over time,” said Ramseyer. “What a heat wave looks like in say 15 years may be much worse than what we currently define it as.”
Ramseyer said these types of extremes in weather are starting to become more prevalent in our everyday lives.
“Something we hear all the time is ‘well, it’s summer. It‘s supposed to be hot,’” said Ramseyer. “However, we are starting to see, for example in Blacksburg, 90-degree temperatures used to be a very rare occurrence. Probably this week we are going to hit 90 degrees three times.”
With these high temperatures here to stay, air conditioning units are working harder and longer.
Ted Puzio, owner of Southern Trust Home Services said being proactive with your AC unit is key when extreme temperatures hit.
“It’s good to be prepared for it, be proactive, and have your systems checked before it’s needing a cooling in your home,” said Puzio. “Make sure that grass isn’t growing up high alongside the units. Make sure when you mow your lawn you mow away from your outside units, and make sure there are not a lot of bugs or spiderwebs on that.”
Officials from Appalachian Electric Power said there are several ways to help keep your home cool and to keep your bill low.
They said to keep your thermostat set to one temperature throughout the day, change your air filters, and make sure your windows and doors are sealed tight.
Customers can also sign up for AEP’s average monthly plan which will keep your bill roughly the same each month.

VINTON, Va. – A local business is helping to make sure students have everything they need to start the school year off right.
Allstate Gillespie Agency kicked off their ‘Put the Kids in Good Hands Back to School Fundraiser’ Monday.
The fundraiser is taking place at both their Vinton and Franklin County locations.
They say 36% of children are unable to get school supplies in Virginia, and they are hoping to change that percentage.
“It’s just something that I feel like everybody should be able to do. Walmart has notebooks for 35 cents, there’s notebooks for 15 cents, so I feel like it’s very doable,” Erinn Johnson, an insurance agent, said.
For every five items you donate, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a gift card.
The drive goes until Aug. 4.

Coralville and Iowa City police staff up for RAGBRAI's largest crowd, severe weather
Get riders in, show them a good time, and get them out safely.
That’s the mantra Coralville police chief Shane Kron has adopted with RAGBRAI set to roll through town Friday. The city is celebrating “Cheers to the Years” in honor of the 50th RAGBRAI ride and the 150th anniversary of Coralville's founding.
For police, it’s all hands on deck to accommodate 25,000 registered riders, making it the largest group in the event's history.
Coralville police will deploy 34 officers to work extended shifts Friday and Saturday to field usual calls while also monitoring the large crowds at ST Morrison Park. They'll control traffic flow as well for riders and vehicles crossing paths at key roadways, Kron said. This includes Highway 6 at Camp Cardinal Boulevard on Friday afternoon and Highway 6 at First Avenue on Saturday.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office will assist riders as they navigate Oxford into Coralville, though Coralville police won't receive outside assistance from other departments.
Kron has been with the police department for every one of the six visits RAGBRAI has made to Coralville. The biggest difference this time will be the sheer size of the group.
“It's a lot of bikes even in a year when it's not the 50th,” Kron said. “What we don't know is how many unregistered riders are riding week-long [and] how many people just jump in for a day.”
Think Iowa City’s Josh Shamberger told the Press-Citizen last week Coralville could see as many as 40,000 people, which means thousands of unregistered riders could join the pack.
“That's part of just police work in general,” Kron said. “If you had a plan for the day, forget it.”
Iowa City police are also ready to assist riders on their way out of Johnson County early Saturday morning, though their experience with gameday crowds should help, public safety information officer Lee Hermiston told the Press-Citizen.
"Iowa City is no stranger to big crowds and we’re well-equipped to manage it," Hermiston said. "We’ll have officers stationed along to the route to ensure our visitors can move safely and swiftly through town."
He compared it to a Hawkeye football weekend, with closed streets and downtown traffic delays before 10 a.m.
Weather could play a huge part on sixth day, with sweltering heat and potential for storms
A point of concern also could be weather, Kron said. Forecasters are predicting triple-digit highs on Friday that would approach the 1916 record 103-degree weather recorded in Waterloo, the closest National Weather Service site with historical data. Des Moines' record high for July 28 is 107, recorded in 1931.
Accuweather also predicts a threat of heavy thunderstorms in the evening hours on Friday, factoring inti the department’s workload. Coralville will bring in a National Weather Service representative from Davenport to help forecast and if necessary, decision-making.
“Our people have to be prepared for that to be able to move quickly and change gears and get to where they need to be to make sure we're protecting the cyclists,” Kron said. “We'll walk through all of those things. We'll have a million contingencies and 99% of them are never going to happen. But it's better to have a plan that you don't need than to not have a plan.”
Saturday’s forecast seems more forgiving, with highs topping out at 90.
Hermiston urges riders to enjoy the experience but take precautions.
"For riders, particularly those not familiar with the rigors of RAGBRAI, we encourage folks to stay hydrated, listen to their bodies for signs of overheating and exhaustion, and not overdo it on the ride," Hermiston said.
Kron said the job of the police department is ultimately the same as every other piece of Coralville's RAGBRAI committee and city government — to enhance the fun at the heart of RAGBRAI.
“It is a hoot. If you have the opportunity to come out and participate in RAGBRAI or be any part of it you absolutely should not pass up the opportunity,” he said. “Big bands, unbelievable food, great people from all over the world that will just strike up a conversation with you and talk about anything and everything. That's my favorite part.”

What to Know
- The Camden County Police Department Intelligence Team determined 93 percent of the guns they recovered in the city in 2022 and 2023 were from out of state, with 20.6 percent from Pennsylvania, 15.9 percent from Georgia and 8.7 percent from Virginia, according to the data they compiled.
- They also noticed that teenagers made up a substantial portion of the people they were arresting in the city for weapons offenses.
- Among their efforts to curb the gun violence, Camden County Police met with the city’s school district, enlisted federal partners and visited victims of crime who, according to Camden County Police Chief Gabe Rodriguez, often become future suspects.
The majority of illegal guns recovered in Camden, New Jersey, are from out of state, according to a recent report from Camden County Police.
In an interview with NBC10’s Cydney Long, Camden County Police Chief Gabe Rodriguez said his department recovered nearly one illegal gun each day in 2022 for a total of 314 last year. Currently, Camden is on pace to match that number this year with 150 weapons seized so far in 2023, officials said.

“We’re almost at capacity here and this is just one of two vaults that we have,” Chief Rodriguez told NBC10 while showing the evidence vaults in the basement of the Camden County Police headquarters.
One of the seized weapons was an assault rifle capable of firing 30 rounds in ten seconds.
“These are the type of weapons that are out there that blow my mind on how this weapon ends up in Camden City or is even sold to someone when they should just belong in the military,” Chief Rodriguez said. “We did just get, I think it was a 15-year-old, that had [the assault rifle] shoved in his pants.”

Chief Rodriguez told NBC10 his department noticed an increase in gun recoveries in the spring of last year.
“We started to make a lot of gun recoveries in a very short period of time which heightened my awareness that there’s something going on here,” he said.
The Camden County Police Department Intelligence Team determined 93 percent of the guns they recovered in the city in 2022 and 2023 were from out of state, with 20.6 percent from Pennsylvania, 15.9 percent from Georgia and 8.7 percent from Virginia, according to the data they compiled.
They also noticed that teenagers made up a substantial portion of the people they were arresting in the city for weapons offenses.
“That’s also something that was quite alarming because we’re finding 13, 14 year olds are the ones being armed, a majority of them being armed with the weapons, committing various crimes,” Chief Rodriguez said.
Among their efforts to curb the gun violence, Camden County Police met with the city’s school district, enlisted federal partners and visited victims of crime who, according to Chief Rodriguez, often become future suspects.
“We learned that there were several hundred kids not attending school during the same period of time. Close to 700 kids just stopped going to school,” Chief Rodriguez said. “So we’re knocking on their doors. We’re trying to do some outreach. We’re letting them know, ‘Listen, look at our partners that are with us.’ Because we have the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshals, everyone standing beside us to show them, ‘We know what you’re up to. We want to keep you on the right track.’”
Chief Rodriguez told NBC10 his department works with DRPA by using license plate readers on area bridges. He also credited the department’s “Eye in the Sky” citywide surveillance system with disrupting a mass shooting plot as well as out of state residents who are driving into New Jersey and offloading guns.
“Luckily sometimes we have officers that are alerted to the strange behavior,” Chief Rodriguez said.
Glen Jackson Sr., a Camden resident, also told NBC10 the community is doing its part to help curb the violence. The city is hosting a two-day basketball event this weekend called “The Peace Games.”
“We get the community involved,” Jackson said. “The community then helps raise the children so we get them more involved, back into the schools.”
Chief Rodriguez told NBC10 his department is currently working with several corporations and temp agencies on job training and hiring. He hopes to gain approval for the destruction, melting and burning of many of the illegal weapons within the next few months.

LINCOLN -- Rat-tails, faux-hawks, and perms, step aside, because the mullet is back and more popular than ever!
Six year old Vance Pelkey from Mattawamkeag is stepping up to the plate in a national mullet competition, and he's swinging for the fences.
But, if you think he grew out his mullet just for the contest, you're wrong.
According to Vance, "One day I went in the barber shop, and I got a haircut, and I asked if I could have one when I was four."
Yup, since the age of four Vance has been rockin' the mullet!
Vance is competing in the USA Mullet Championship, and it's all for a good cause too.
All proceeds go to the nonprofit organization, Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors.

In the meantime, Vance will be staying cool, and keeping his eye on the prize, having the best mullet in the country.

AUGUSTA -- Last Wednesday July 19, Governor Mills vetoed a bill that would place limits on mandatory overtime and set a minimum wage and overtime rate for agricultural employees.
This Tuesday afternoon, the Maine Senate was unsuccessful in overriding the Governor's veto. They were deadlocked at 61 votes a piece.
The bill would have phased in overtime pay for individuals employed in the agriculture industry and related industries.
Bangor native, Representative Amy Roeder says she wished the bill received the two-thirds support needed.
"State by state, we have to undo the damaging work of the 1930's. I was hoping Maine would step into the 21st century and do that," said Representative Roeder.
The Maine Farm Bureau has since weighed on this decision, applauding the legislature for sustaining Governor Mills' veto.

AUGUSTA -- Maine voters rallied at the State House Tuesday ahead of a Senate vote to override the Governor's veto on a bill that aims to make Maine elections safer.
"Today, we are here to ask the legislature a simple question: will you choose to stand with us, the Maine voters that are trying to protect our elections, or will you choose to stand with the very foreign governments that are disrupting our democracy?" said Kaitlin LaCasse, Campaign Manager for Protect Maine Elections.
If signed into law, it would prohibit a government-foreign entity from making any form of contribution to influence the nomination of a candidate or approval of a referendum.
It would also help promote an anticorruption amendment to be added to the united states constitution, allowing citizens to regulate the cost of money in elections.
This initiative has received bi-partisan support from both Republicans and Democrats within Maine Legislature.
"Mainers are more than capable of making their own decisions. We don't need governments from other countries telling us how to vote," said Representative Grayson Lookner of Portland.
"We've been willingly holding the door open for them [foreign governments] to manipulate our elections and to change the culture and character of our great state of Maine, said Representative Nathan Carlow of Buxton.
However, the vote came up short of overriding the Governor's decision.
"I'm disappointed but not surprised. This is a measure which is common-sensical to Maine people," said Representative Rick Bennett of Oxford.
Despite not seeing the results he wanted, Representative Bennett says he's happy with the amount of attention this has received.
"I thought we did quite well getting a 73 to 50 vote and we affirm the vast majority of the legislature in both the House and Senate are with the people of Maine on this," said Representative Bennett.
Though the veto override was not successful, it does not mean the fight is over. Because it's a citizen's ballot initiative that's received 80,000 signatures, this question will be back on the Maine ballot in November's election.

BALTIMORE — More than a thousand customers in Bolton Hill have dealt with power outages the last few days, creating problems for neighbors and local businesses.
"The power outages started last week for us," Tariq Syed, part-owner of the Park Avenue Pharmacy in Bolton Hill, told WMAR-2 News.
Syed couldn’t get into his business, which has an electric-powered security door, and had to close last Thursday and part of Friday.
That meant a day and a half of business was lost, and neighbors were unable to pick up medicine.
"You can imagine -we are a pharmacy here, trying to serve the community. Thursday, we are not able to open our door," Syed added.
Syed and many others in part of the Bolton Hill neighborhood have faced power outages as of late.
In a statement, Baltimore Gas and Electric told WMAR-2 News that the outages were caused by 'cable splice failures due to prolonged extreme heat.'
"BGE recognizes that neighbors in the Bolton Hill area have recently experienced several electric service outages. Outages in the area were caused by cable splice failures due to prolonged extreme heat. We are identifying opportunities to ease the stress on the system, as well as making adjustments to equipment in the area to ensure proper load response as temperatures climb through the end of the week. We are increasing staffing in this area should additional outages related to this issue occur.
BGE is committed to providing customers with safe and reliable electric and gas service. We work daily to maintain and improve our equipment, though outages may still occur. If customers do experience a service interruption in the future, you can quickly and easily report your outage at bge.com, on the BGE Mobile App, via text message to MyBGE (69243), or by calling customer service at 1-877-778-2222. These reporting services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
BGE tells WMAR-2 News around 1200 customers may have been affected by the outages, but they didn’t affect every customer each time. They say recent outages happened Monday, Tuesday, and last Thursday.
"You just have to deal with it, or you can go somewhere else," said Jessica Merkel-Keller, a Bolton Hill resident.
Merkel-Keller said most of the last ten days, she’s faced at least one outage, and they usually last a few hours, sometimes overnight.
"I worry about how many zaps my appliances can take, the time it takes to reset everything in the house. I also worry about food safety," Merkel-Keller added.

ROYSE CITY, Texas — A local AMBER Alert has been issued for a missing 16-year-old girl out of Royse City.
Caylee Lynne Sellers is described as a white female, 5-foot-3, 110 pounds and has black hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a white hoodie with Colorado written on it and black pants and was carrying a black packpack.
Royse City police said Sellers was last seen around 5 a.m. on Saturday, July 22. According to police, Sellers was spending the night at a friend's house in the 300 block of North Houston Street when she told her friend that her mother wanted her home. Sellers told her friend that her mother called an Uber to take her home, police said.
The friend told police that Sellers may have gotten into a black passenger car with chrome wheels. Police said that the friend stated Sellers was texting her about the ride home and that Sellers texted she arrived home in Caddo Mills.
Police said around 4 p.m. on that same Saturday, Sellers' mother arrived at the friend's home to pick up Sellers. It was there that the mother learned Sellers had left around 5 a.m.
The mother called Sellers' father to see if she went to his home, but the 16-year-old was not there, according to police.
Police said that the father checked the location of Sellers' cell phone, which showed that it was turned off and that its last location was somewhere in Euless around 7 a.m. that morning.
Sellers' mother called Euless police and then drove to Euless but could not find her. The mother then contacted the Royse City Police Department, where the 16-year-old was entered as a missing person/runaway.
"The Royse City Police Department has now exhausted all leads including possible sightings in Royse City, Fate, Rockwall, Heath, Forney, Garland and Greenville and are asking for assistance in locating Caylee Sellers," police said in a news release.
Royse City police said they have no information that Sellers was abducted but are concerned for her safety, which led to the local AMBER Alert.
"A local area AMBER Alert is new and allows law enforcement to submit a request through the Texas Department of Public Safety for an AMBER Alert even when all the criteria for a state wide alert has not been verified," police said.
Anyone who may have information is asked to call Royse City police at 972-636-9422 or their local law enforcement agency.

BALCH SPRINGS, Texas — It’s been one year since the Balch Springs fire started in an empty field, spreading quickly to homes at Interstate 20 and South Beltline Road.
Aerial views of the fire showed flames spreading through backyards and homes. In total, 26 homes were affected. Some burned to the ground while others were damaged.
It's believed the fire started after crews cutting grass on the nearby field may have struck a metal object, causing sparks, according to the Balch Springs city manager at the time.
Adut Kual said she still feels anxiety from July 25, 2022. She said her two-year-old son was the first to notice something wrong that day.
“He was like, ‘mommy, fire!’,” Kual said.
Kual said her son was, ironically, playing with his firetruck toy. She thought he was playing around, but he kept repeating the word ‘fire.’
“I was like, what do you mean fire?” Kual said.
When Kual finally looked out the window, her back fence had already burned down. Flames were spreading quickly toward her home, and black smoke filled the air.
“Us, we’re running out, we didn’t have no shoes, nothing,” Kual said.
Kual said a neighbor gave her and her family shoes to wear as people began to gather at a distance to watch the fire burn in their neighborhood.
On Kual’s property, the fire burned down her fence and charred her backyard. The flames made it to the back walls of her home but stopped there. Burn marks in her yard and a blackened fence post remind Kual of how scared she was that day.
“The house, the things that I have inside, the most important memories, you know the pictures we brought from back home – brought here..." Kual said of her fears that day. "Everything will be gone."
Homes on either side of Kual's were damaged or destroyed.
Willie Brooks watched the fire from his house down the street. He said when he walked outside that afternoon, the smoke in the air was so dark you could hardly see in front of you.
Brooks said it was a helpless feeling.
"There was nothing you could do about it except sit there and watch it burn down," Brooks said of the homes.
Brooks said he was concerned the fire may jump the street and burn other homes.
"Just about everyone around was getting their water hose and spraying houses," Brooks said.
He hoped if that happened, a wet roof and wet grass would help salvage his property.
Brooks said he knew two people who did not have a home to return to after the fire. One is rebuilding, the other decided not to return.
He said he understands why.
“It was gonna be traumatic," Brooks said. "Unless you are unhuman, you couldn’t help but feel bad."
While a lot has changed in the area of the Balch Springs fire, what remains is the memory of what a hot, dry day can bring.
"It feels like it was yesterday," Kual said.

CROWN POINT — Judge Gina Jones described 51-year-old Christopher “Kit” Degenhart as someone who meticulously planned to groom young women when she sentenced him to four years for child seduction on Tuesday.
The former Crown Point High School theater teacher was arrested in July 2022 on two charges of child seduction.
Degenhart entered a plea agreement on May 30 , which stipulated that he’d plead guilty to one count of child seduction, a level five felony. The second count of child seduction, a level six felony, was dismissed after Degenhart was sentenced on Tuesday.
He will serve a year in Lake County Community Corrections, six months in Kimbrough Community Corrections and two and a half years’ probation.
Charging documents allege that Degenhart engaged in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student in 2020.
During her victim impact statement, that student described theater as her safe haven when she was in high school. She said, over time, she grew close to Degenhart and spent more time with him than anyone else.
The two then started contacting via personal email, charges stated. The relationship progressed to meetings before, during and after school, according to the probable cause affidavit.
They kissed and hugged but did not have sex until the victim turned 18, according Degenhart in his interview with police. Jones said that was a meticulous choice by Degenhart.
Degenhart told the officer that he’s had four affairs at the high school, one with a co-worker and three with former students.
“People looking up to you, that’s how it all starts,” Degenhart said to police, according to the video.
Degenhart told the officer his three separate relationships with former students took place from 2005 to 2007, 2009 to 2011 and then the most recent incident in 2020.
The student he had a relationship with in 2005 also testified in court ahead of his sentencing.
“I, like many other students looked up to him, and it was nice to feel like he noticed me,” she said.
The woman, now 36, described how her relationship with Degenhart became physical after she graduated.
“The relationship — I don’t even know if you can call it that — lasted two and a half years,” she said.
Eventually, she stopped speaking to him, but she eventually heard from him again when he was purportedly under investigation by the school district. She said he coached on her on what to say, and he threatened suicide and said she could ruin his life if she didn’t cover for him.
Ahead of his sentencing, Degenhart said he is “greatly sorry for the pain that I’ve caused and the aftermath that came from my awful choices.”
He added that he suffers from a sex addiction, and he got treatment and therapy for it beginning in August 2020.
“My life has changed for two reasons only — my lord and savior Jesus Christ and my ability to enter recovery,” he said.
Jones said that Degenhart calling what happened an affair or a product of addiction diminishes the predatory nature of his actions.
Degenhart indicated in court on Tuesday that he does not wish to appeal his conviction.

MOROCCO — A driver was killed Friday in fiery crash after completing a timed solo run on the track at the U.S. 41 Motorplex, Newton County police are reporting.
"The preliminary investigation by Deputy (Kaleb) Sanders indicates a 1996 Mustang (driven by a 45 year old Mackinaw, Ill. man) was performing a solo timed run on the track," police said.
An autopsy was to be performed Monday.
"The vehicle, for an unknown reason, lost control after crossing the finish line," according to officials. "The vehicle then collided with the guardrail causing it to become airborne before coming to rest in a nearby wooded area."
"The crash resulted in the vehicle catching fire and the death of the sole occupant."
Police said they responded to the scene around 5:29 p.m. Friday.
The identity of the deceased has not yet been released, according to Newton County Coroner Scott McCord.
"If the court should find the state responsible for an additional 101 days, then the charges must be dismissed."
"We are truly devastated," track operators posted in the wake of Friday's crash. "We send our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the racers family and friends during this most difficult time."
The track reportedly remained closed as of Tuesday morning for repairs and safety improvements.
"We are trying to get the front area completed ASAP to run the street car brawl this Saturday as they run on the shutdown that is past the major repair area," track officials reported. "We will have a further post later this week regarding that race."

GARY — When Rickie Keith lived in the Carolyn Mosby Senior High-Rise, heat only reached half the building and there were bats living in the top floor.
"We needed a lot of upgrades," Keith, who now serves on the Gary Housing Authority resident commission, recalled. "We needed new cabinets, new stoves, new flooring and a new heating system."
Over the past 14 months, the affordable housing complex has received all that and more.
Built by the Gary Housing Authority in 1970, the Carolyn Mosby apartment building was the city's first public housing high-rise and the first public housing complex built specifically for the elderly. Today the eight-story structure consists of 142 units, serving adults over 55 who have an income of 30%, 50% and 60% of the annual median income.
People are also reading…
While the Carolyn Mosby complex has seen some upgrades, GHA Executive Director Taryl Bonds said the building has never undergone a renovation of this scale. Bonds said the GHA knew the organization would never be able to complete the project without outside assistance. In 2017, the GHA began to discuss a potential renovation with the Wisconsin-based Gorman & Company developers. The Carolyn Mosby High-Rise is Gorman's first project in Indiana.
The GHA and Gorman entered into a public-private partnership to complete the project; the GHA owns the property where the apartment complex is located and 51% of the building, Gorman owns the remaining 49%.
The $22.1 million renovation began in May of 2022 and is largely complete, though Gorman Illinois Market President Ron Clewer said they are still waiting on some final pieces of furniture. The entire building has new bathrooms, kitchens, air conditioning and heating systems, energy-efficient lighting and improved insulation.
A number of units were also redesigned to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, meaning a person with a physical disability could live there.
Clewer said workers also removed asbestos from the walls, powerwashed the outside of the building and did some landscaping.
Exterior improvements had to be limited because the apartment complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May of 2022.
The complex was named after Carolyn Mosby, a Gary native who served as both a state representative and senator in the Indiana General Assembly. She was known as an advocate for both seniors and minority businesses. Originally named after its street address, 666 Jackson, the building was renamed in Mosby's honor shortly after she passed away in 1990. The address was also changed.
The renovation was funded in part with historic tax credits. The project also received money from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, Merchants Bank, Merchants Capital, Zions Bank and some of Gary's HOME-American Rescue Plan Program funding.
A plaque commemorating Mosby will hang in the building's lobby. The iconic lawmaker's daughter, also named Carolyn Mosby, traveled from Georgia to attend a Tuesday ribbon cutting celebrating the renovation. She said her family has a long history with the building as her great grandmother was once a resident.
"This is a huge honor for our family," Mosby said. "Thank you so much for helping keep our mother's legacy alive."
Clewer Gorman wants to do more work in Indiana and is currently considering a project in Hammond.
"If we continue to do good work together, then residents in need of affordable housing will have more options," Clewer said he hopes the resident's new apartments are what they "dreamed of."

The concrete restoration projects on Interstate 65 will require new lane and ramp closures, the Indiana Department of Transportation has announced.
Between 61st Ave. and the I-80/94 interchange
The ramp from northbound I-65 to westbound I-80/94 will temporarily close from approximately 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday to shift a barrier wall and place pavement markings.
On or after Sunday, the ramp from eastbound I-80/94 to southbound I-65 will be restricted to one lane during daytime hours and closed completely from approximately 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Work on the ramp will take up to four weeks, INDOT said. Work on I-65 southbound between mile markers 260 and 258 will constrain traffic to a single left lane.
During the work, the ramps from southbound and northbound Broadway to eastbound I-80/94, eastbound I-80/94 to southbound I-65 to Ridge Road collector ramp, and southbound I-65 to Ridge Road will also be closed.
People are also reading…
The ramp from Ridge Road to northbound I-65 is closed through late October, and the ramp from Ridge Road to southbound I-65 is closed through mid-September.
Between 137th Ave. and 73rd Ave.
The ramp from northbound I-65 to U.S. 231 and the ramp from 109th to northbound I-65 will be closed overnight Thursday to set up a temporary traffic configuration through the work zone. Travel lanes for northbound I-65 traffic will be realigned to the northbound side of the interstate instead of crossing over to the southbound side.
Friday morning, all ramps at the U.S. 231 and 109th interchanges will be open, INDOT said, including the ramps from northbound I-65 to 109th and U.S. 231 to northbound I-65, which have been closed since May. The new traffic configuration will require closure of the passing lanes, with two lanes of traffic shifted to the right in each direction.
The temporary barrier wall will be shifted from the southbound side to the northbound side, work that will take approximately one week. Once the barrier wall is reset, southbound traffic will be cross to the northbound side through the work zone.
The ramp from 109th to southbound I-65 and the ramp from southbound I-65 to U.S. 231 will close on or after Aug. 3, and traffic will remain in the new configuration through late November.

A break from the heat: When does summer officially end?
Whether it's the slow descent into earlier nightfall or an escape from the scorching high temperatures of summer, fall is always something Arizona residents are longing for during the peak of summer. So, when will autumn officially begin this year?
The summer solstice, signaling the beginning of summer, fell on June 21, 2023, in Arizona. Just around three months later, the autumnal equinox will occur in Arizona on Sept. 22 around 11:50 p.m. signaling to residents that relief from burning temperatures has arrived.
So, as we enter into another week of record-breaking temperatures, here's what you need to know about the slowly impending end of summer.
When is the last day of summer?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the autumnal equinox falls around Sept. 22 which can sometimes fluctuate by a couple of days due to leap years. This year, we can expect fall to begin on Sept. 22 meaning our last day of summer will be on Sept. 21.
The equinox is designated as one of the two times of the year when Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in almost an equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes, according to the National Weather Service. This definition is known as the astronomical start of the season.
Yet, there is another way to categorize the beginning of fall and that is the meteorological start to the season which is based on the annual temperature cycle and the 12-month calendar. With this definition, each season begins on the first of a particular month and lasts for three months meaning summer will end on August 31 and fall will start on Sept. 1, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
Climate scientists and meteorologists created this definition to make it easier to keep records of the weather, but the cycle of the sun places the start date of the season much later in the month.
When will temperatures cool?
With a late start for monsoons and a record-breaking heatwave ongoing almost all of July, this summer in Arizona has been brutal with residents craving an escape from the 115-degree days.
This is an ongoing trend as Arizona summers often exceed 100 degrees with July and August being particularly hot. On brand with the nickname "Valley of the Sun," Arizona weather starts getting warm as soon as late May and grips on, not dipping into 90 degrees or lower until well into September or October.
The National Weather Service forecasts that the average time Phoenix breaks into less than 100-degree weather is around Sept. 20. Last year, due to a record-breaking monsoon season, Phoenix reached temperatures under 100 degrees a couple of times in August, notably hitting 97 on August 31 and continuing that streak with a high of 95 into Sept. 1.
Although in 2022, on Sept. 22, the high was 103 degrees, the temperatures cooled as low as 80 degrees the following week.
As for this year, the only estimate as to when we will break 100 degrees depends on that daily average calculation which predicts a high of 99 degrees on Sept. 20. The averages show that temperatures in the lower-mid 90s range would not appear until October.
It is possible we could see lower temperatures before September if heavy monsoon storms rolled into the Valley, but the season has been predicted to be drier than average, according to National Weather Service Phoenix meteorologist Chris Kuhlman.
Is Sept. 22 an equal amount of day and night?
Just about.
During the autumnal equinox, the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun meaning the sun will rise exactly due east and set exactly due west and should be overhead the equator at noon. This would mean the day is directly split in half, with 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
The Earth's axis tilts the northern hemisphere toward the sun in June and away from the sun in December, making those solstices the longest and shortest days of the year. The equinoxes in September and March are the times when the axis is perfectly aligned in the middle.
Unfortunately, the hours will not be split perfectly even due to refraction of sunlight which causes the sun to appear above the horizon when the actual position of the sun is below the horizon. At higher latitudes, the days become a little longer because it takes the sun longer to rise and set, according to the National Weather Service.
Last year, the autumnal equinox fell on Sept. 22 and Phoenix experienced 12:08 hours of daylight and 11:52 hours of darkness, according to data from the Astronomical Applications Department of the U.S. Naval Observatory.
Why is it called the autumnal equinox?
The word equinox is derived from two Latin words - aequus (equal) and nox (night) which directly describes the occurrence seen twice a year during the start of fall and spring.
The autumnal equinox, which always falls between Sept. 21 and Sept. 24, is one of two equinoxes. The other, known as the vernal equinox or March equinox, occurs each year between March 19 and March 21 and marks the start of spring in the northern hemisphere.
On these two days, the day is split by nearly an exact equal 12 hours of daylight and darkness.

Parts of Tonto National Forest closed due to the spread of the Diamond Fire on Tuesday
With fires raging across the state, the Diamond Fire is one of many incidents causing closures and evacuations. On Tuesday afternoon, the Tonto National Forest announced closures due to the spread of the fire.
In a tweet from the forest, an emergency closure order was announced by the forest running until the night of Aug. 7. But these closures do not impact the whole of Tonto National Forest or even State Route 87.
The Diamond Fire has grown to more than 1,000 acres as of Monday night with crews continuing to engage the fire.
Officials cite the need to provide safety to the public while firefighters continue to fight the blaze. Stage 1 fire restrictions have been in place at the national forest since July 6 and are slated to end by the end of September.

Teen girl's car retrieved after submerging into Lake Mary in Coconino County
A vehicle rolled into Lake Mary at one of the boat ramps on Monday.
At approximately 4:13 a.m., Coconino County Sheriff's Office responded to a residence off E. Burris Lane. The resident called because their daughter's car had rolled into Lake Mary at one of the boat ramps. Officers said they learned the 18-year-old daughter had told her parents the vehicle rolled into Lake Mary around 3 a.m.
The information provided to officers was vague and it was unclear which of the three boat ramps the vehicle rolled off of according to Coconino County Sheriff's Department.
The car was a four-door, silver Nissan Rogue. Coconino County Sheriff's Department said the vehicle was reported to be unoccupied at the time and completely submerged.
The United States Forest Service and the Coconino County Sheriff's Department spent the day searching for the car between the three boat ramps. Coconino County Sheriff's Department said they were unable to locate the car due to the murky conditions of the lake.
At the request of the United States Forest Service, Gila County Sheriff's Office dive team responded to assist with the search around 3 p.m. A member of the dive team located the vehicle around 5:20 p.m. but the car was still not visible due to the water's conditions according to Coconino County Sheriff's Office.
Coconino County Sheriff's office said a towing company responded, and the car was removed from the lake around 8:30 p.m.
Alcohol is believed to be a possible factor in the incident according to investigators. The incident is still under investigation and no further information is available at this time.

2 suspected gang members arrested in connection to fatal drive-by shooting in Tempe
Police arrested two men on July 21 who authorities believe were involved in a drive-by shooting last month, leaving a rival gang member dead and another injured.
Tempe and Phoenix police say 21-year-old Zyonn Colbert and 20-year-old Makhyi Hinkle followed the occupants of a Ford Edge — some of whom were believed to be members of the gang Park South Crips — while driving a Kia Optima before firing multiple rounds into the vehicle near Baseline Road and 48th Street in Tempe.
Documents say one man who was seated in the middle-rear seat was killed after a bullet struck him in the head while another man also seated in the back was struck but later treated at a hospital and was in stable condition.
Documents say Colbert and Hinkle, whom authorities say belong to the rival gang Southern Crips, then turned south on 48th Street and sped away. Police recovered 24 bullet casings at the scene.
Authorities later received an anonymous tip that Hinkle was involved in the shooting and obtained a warrant to track his cellphone location history, which matched the time of the shooting. Police also obtained a warrant for Colbert’s cellphone location history, which placed him at the drive-by shooting as well.
Documents say the shooting stems from a yearslong war between the two gangs sparked by the death of a Southern Crip member named “Tre.”
Documents note the drive-by shooting was but one of many between the two gangs since Tre’s death. Police arrested Hinkle and Colbert on July 21 in Phoenix.
Both men have been booked into jail with the following charges:
- First-degree murder.
- Drive-by shooting.
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
- Assisting a street gang.
- Criminal damage.
Hinkle and Colbert are being held on a $1 million cash-only bond according to court documents. Their next scheduled hearing is on Thursday in Maricopa County Superior Court.

A day after kids in a summer day camp moved into a new space — the $10.5 million Air Park Community Center just east of Arnold Elementary — Honor Mazuch found herself sharing the new space with a bunch of adults and cameras and microphones.
After some of those adults made speeches lauding the community center — which replaces the longtime recreation center in the former military barracks built in 1954 as part of the Lincoln Air Force Base —the woman at the podium asked reporters if they had any questions.
They didn’t. But Honor, a third-grader participating in the summer day camp, did.
“Are you the mayor?”
Yes, was the answer, followed by a query from another of the blue T-shirt-clad summer camp observers: “Can anyone come here?”
Yes, answered Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird, arguably one of the best things about the 25,000 square feet of new space that includes a city library branch, a full-size gym, three smaller fitness rooms, meeting spaces and a multi-purpose and game room with the requisite pool, ping pong and foosball tables.
Construction workers were still putting finishing touches on the building, installing playground equipment and finishing a park area Tuesday, but city officials got an occupancy permit Friday, and Honor and her friends took up residence Monday.
Gaylor Baird said that when she was still on the City Council she worked to make building a new Air Park center a priority and seeing it open and full of people it was intended to educate and empower was a huge victory.
The new center was paid for with about $6.2 million in non-voter-approved bonds called certificates of participation and nearly $1.4 million raised in a capital campaign, in addition to general fund dollars, keno funds and impact fees that paid for the playground equipment.
The new center is on parkland called Huskerville Park. Lincoln Parks and Recreation Director Maggie Stuckey-Ross said the playground equipment outside will be accompanied by a picnic shelter, an artificial turf playfield and a walking trail.
The programming at the old center — the before — and after-school programs, the open senior programs, rock-steady boxing for people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease and karate classes — will move to the new center.
But the new center will allow for more programs, Stuckey-Ross said, including group fitness classes, dance classes and still-to-be designed programming in collaboration with the library.
This is the first community center co-located with a library. The Williams Branch was co-located at Arnold Elementary, but there were numerous challenges with security and hours, so officials decided to move it to the community center. It also frees up space for the increasingly crowded elementary school.
The new library includes a fenced-in outdoor space with a chalk wall for kids or adults to write on, and two meeting rooms will be shared with the community center.
Heather Keele, an architect with Clark Enersen and one of the project managers, said there is a kitchenette and transition rooms for young people with behavioral issues that need them. The artificial turf outside will be a great space for outdoor movies and everything is located one floor for easy access.
“There’s something here for everyone,” she said, and why they named it a community center instead of a recreation center.
That was what Honor liked best, that it's a place to make new friends, where people can be kind to each other. It’s why, she said, her favorite spot so far was the “cozy corner,” furnished with bean bag chairs to sit in and chill.
“I really think it’s going to be really fun,” she said.
Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird claps with day camp participants after announcing the opening of the Air Park Community Center and Williams Branch Library on Tuesday.

MCPHERSON, Kan. (KSNW) – House Bill 2024 was passed in May of this year and allows for the installation of newborn safety boxes at fire and police stations in the state of Kansas.
The first safety box was installed in Indiana in 2016 by Safe Haven Baby Boxes. They now have over 156 boxes across the country. However, they have installed zero in Kansas.
The McPherson Fire Department played a key role in the passing of the new bill. It was important to them because they responded to a call in 2008 where a newborn had been left in a dumpster.
“A law enforcement officer actually found that child face down in one of the poly cart trash cans, she was still alive, and then they brought them over to us, and we rendered aid to her. That moment stuck in my mind,” said McPherson Police Chief T.J. Wyssmann.
McPherson Fire Department has raised the $15,000 in funding needed to create and install the box. They are in talks with Safe Haven Baby Boxes and a local company on constructing the box.
Their goal is to have the box up and operational by January 1, 2024.

Authorities are looking for two men accused of stealing about $1,600 worth of cigarettes from a northwest side convenience store.
On July 12 shortly before 1:45 a.m., two men entered the Circle K at 5801 N. Oracle Road, according to a news release from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
Surveillance footage showed one man wearing a black shirt, jumping over the counter and taking the cigarettes while a man in a white shirt began taking alcohol bottles and lighters, according to the release.
Both men then left the building, walking southbound away from the business, officials say.
The man in the black shirt is said to have a tattoo on his hand. No other tattoos were visible and no known vehicles are currently associated with the incident, officials said.
PCSD is asking anyone with information on the incident to the department's non-emergency line, 520-251-4900.

ROYSE CITY, Texas — A local AMBER Alert has been issued for a missing 16-year-old girl out of Royse City.
Caylee Lynne Sellers is described as a white female, 5-foot-3, 110 pounds and has black hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a white hoodie with Colorado written on it and black pants and was carrying a black packpack.
Royse City police said Sellers was last seen around 5 a.m. on Saturday, July 22. According to police, Sellers was spending the night at a friend's house in the 300 block of North Houston Street when she told her friend that her mother wanted her home. Sellers told her friend that her mother called an Uber to take her home, police said.
The friend told police that Sellers may have gotten into a black passenger car with chrome wheels. Police said that the friend stated Sellers was texting her about the ride home and that Sellers texted she arrived home in Caddo Mills.
Police said around 4 p.m. on that same Saturday, Sellers' mother arrived at the friend's home to pick up Sellers. It was there that the mother learned Sellers had left around 5 a.m.
The mother called Sellers' father to see if she went to his home, but the 16-year-old was not there, according to police.
Police said that the father checked the location of Sellers' cell phone, which showed that it was turned off and that its last location was somewhere in Euless around 7 a.m. that morning.
Sellers' mother called Euless police and then drove to Euless but could not find her. The mother then contacted the Royse City Police Department, where the 16-year-old was entered as a missing person/runaway.
"The Royse City Police Department has now exhausted all leads including possible sightings in Royse City, Fate, Rockwall, Heath, Forney, Garland and Greenville and are asking for assistance in locating Caylee Sellers," police said in a news release.
Royse City police said they have no information that Sellers was abducted but are concerned for her safety, which led to the local AMBER Alert.
"A local area AMBER Alert is new and allows law enforcement to submit a request through the Texas Department of Public Safety for an AMBER Alert even when all the criteria for a state wide alert has not been verified," police said.
Anyone who may have information is asked to call Royse City police at 972-636-9422 or their local law enforcement agency.

BOISE, Idaho — Boise Police Department announced Tuesday they have arrested a man who they believe kidnapped two people, holding them against their will in a home for several hours.
Craig Stevenson, 30, was arrested on charges of aggravated battery, resisting and obstructing arrest and two charges of kidnapping.
BPD said in a release they responded to a hospitalized man who said he was stabbed -- officers learned he and another woman were kidnapped and held in a home near Warm Springs Avenue for hours. The two were later able to escape and the man is in stable condition.
Following a brief description of the suspect, police found Stevenson -- but he began to run, BPD said. Officers arrested him and discovered he had a knife.
Stevenson is currently being held at the Ada County Jail.
“I am grateful my officers were able to safely take a violent subject into custody in this case. All officers and BPD Crime Lab personnel investigating this incident performed admirably under difficult circumstances, ultimately apprehending a dangerous felon who had only recently been released from prison when he committed this violent act,” BPD Chief Ron Winegar said.

Alachua County educators discuss how anti-LGBTQ bills will impact upcoming school year
Some Alachua County teachers and educators are uncertain about how new legislation will impact their classrooms as the laws begin taking effect.
Alachua County Public Schools held a presentation on Monday with Brian Moore, the general counsel for the Florida Association of District School Superintendents, where officials explained how the legislative updates in Florida and some new rules will affect classroom procedures and instruction.
Here’s a look into some of the most contentious and impactful bills:
More:Alachua County schools cope with new DeSantis-backed library book law
More:It's time for Florida's back-to-school sales tax holiday. Here's what you need to know
Changing pronouns
A new bill signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, House Bill 1069, deals with topics related to gender and sexuality. Included in the text is an instruction that school faculty may not use pronouns other than those that match a student’s sex at birth to refer to that student.
As such, transgender students, many of whom already use pronouns other than the ones that match their sex at birth, will no longer be allowed to request those changes.
The bill says that sex is an immutable biological trait, despite expert groups such as the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association agreeing that gender-affirming care and treatment can be medically necessary and even life-saving for some people.
“We had ‘Don’t Say Gay,’” Moore said, referring to 2022’s HB-1557 which banned classroom discussion on sexuality and orientation. “Now we have ‘Don’t Say They.’”
One audience member asked how the new rule could be upheld given the “Parents’ Bill of Rights,” a piece of legislation that says a child’s parent has the right to direct the education and upbringing of their child.
“If you want to know where the Parents’ Bill of Rights ends, it’s with parents who support transgender students,” Moore said. Any name changes for students, including nicknames, will have to be explicitly allowed by the student’s parent.
Challenging books
Another part of HB-1069 deals with the types of books that are allowed in schools.
Last year, after HB-1467 was passed, schools were forced to create a database for all its books, implement a formal complaint process, and mandate media specialists undergo training about what constitutes an “age-appropriate” book.
Now, the new law says that if a book is challenged on the basis of sexual content or pornography, it will need to be evaluated and taken off the shelves within five days.
“And trust me,” Moore said, “their idea of what's pornographic is not the legal standard.”
An audience member said only one book has been challenged in Alachua County so far — the Bible.
Bathroom use
Another controversial piece of legislation, HB-1521, deals with bathroom use.
Across the state, the law says people may only use bathrooms that are designated for their assigned sex at birth. Bathrooms must be designated for females, males or be unisex. As such, schools will have to enforce this rule, too.
The law makes going into a different bathroom than one that matches your sex at birth a trespassing misdemeanor for adults.
Schools must incorporate using the wrong bathroom into their codes of conduct, according to the bill. Students will face disciplinary action if they enter the wrong bathroom and refuse to leave when asked by a teacher, administrator or officer.
Classroom Instruction
HB-1069 also includes provisions that will influence classroom instruction.
For starters, all sexual education materials will need to be approved by the Florida Department of Education. It also must teach that sex is an immutable trait determined at birth, and describe sex as a male impregnating a female with a sperm-fertilizing egg.
“It is really denying the existence of transgender kids in particular, essentially the whole community, but really transgender kids,” Moore said. “Under the law, they don't exist. It's not real. And that's kind of where we are.”
Traditionally a “gateway AP” and well-loved course, Moore said, AP Psychology will now have some contentious content given the state law.
One chapter of the course deals with gender identity and sexual orientation. Teaching this chapter in Florida, Moore said, is illegal.
The College Board has acknowledged this also, saying anyone who teaches AP Psychology without this chapter will be stripped of their AP designation. Teachers will have to decide for themselves what they want to do.
Moore said the definition of what constitutes “classroom instruction” is shifting too. Last year, he said, if a teacher had a photo of their same-sex spouse on their desk and a student asked about it they would be permitted to explain their relationship, as it wouldn’t be considered classroom instruction. Now, he said, teachers should probably divert from the question and redirect the student’s focus to the classroom instruction.
“You’re asking inappropriate questions, Billy,” Moore said as an example. “Sorry, William. Your mom hasn’t signed the form.”

ORLANDO, Fla. — Education Commissioner Manny Diaz publicly recognized the African American History Task Force for helping to craft the state’s new controversial Black History standards.
However, two task force members told Channel 9 they had nothing to do with creating the new standards.
Dr. Donna Austin and Dr. Brenda Walker said they were never given the opportunity to read the standards until they were made public.
Diaz publicly thanked the African American History Task Force for their work prior to the state Board of Education’s vote to approve the new standards.
“I want to commend Dr. Burns, the African American History Task Force, and the workgroup,” Diaz said.
>>> STREAM CHANNEL 9 EYEWITNESS NEWS LIVE <<<
The state Board of Education and Gov. Ron DeSantis have been under fire since the new standards were approved last week. Critics say the rules try to re-write the history of slavery because the standard includes “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
The Florida Department of Education has previously said these new standards were created by a separate 13-member “workgroup” with input from the African American History Task Force.
“This is very, very serious and very dangerous for people to say that we had a part hand in this, when in fact, we honestly did not,” Austin said.
“I don’t want my name and reputation associated with the new African American history standards, or the statements that have emanated therefrom,” Walker said.
Former vice chair Dr. Sam Wright said traditionally, the task force has served in an advisory role, making suggestions to the Department of Education and providing resources to educators teaching Black history.

“That’s been the nature of our work. I mean, you got educators, those of us who live the experience of being black or African American in America. So, we’re the best to say what needs to be done,” Wright said.
He said that changed when Diaz appointed six new members to the African American Task Force this summer. Five of them are Republican. None of them have taught in a classroom.
Walker and Austin said the original task force has been left in the dark about decision-making. Wright said that’s why he stepped down from his seat in June.
“It’s been horrific. It’s been a nuisance,” Wright said.
“It’s like them against us,” Austin said.

Task Force members said they were told a workgroup of 13 educators and scholars crafted the language of the new standards, but as of Monday, they still did not know who those 13 members were.
“I think that fans the flames of public distrust. The Department of Education, my recommendation would be to discuss this issue head-on, no anonymity, discuss it head on, because it’s causing many of us angst,” Walker said.
Channel 9 filed a records request with the state Department of Education for a roster of the 13 people in the workgroup.
Channel 9 is working to confirm who the members are and ultimately where the language of the controversial standard originated.

Warren man bound over for trial on human trafficking charges
A 29-year-old Warren man was bound over for trial on charges of human trafficking involving a youth allegedly forced into commercial sex, the Michigan Attorney General's office said Tuesday.
James Earl Madison-Cranford faced a preliminary examination Monday before Judge Shelia Johnson in 46th District Court in Southfield, records show.
He has been charged with:• Human trafficking a minor for commercial activity, a 20-year felony• Accepting earnings from prostitution, a 20-year felony• Transporting a person for prostitution, a 20-year felony• Three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, a 15-year felony• Assault by strangulation, a 10-year felony• Felonious assault, a 4-year felony• Conducting a criminal enterprise, a 20-year felony
Madison-Cranford is being charged as an habitual third offender.
Authorities accuse him of targeting a teenage runaway.
"The state alleges he created an online account offering for sale sex with the minor, set up appointments between other adults and the minor, facilitated logistics for the appointments including her travel, and took the money paid to her," the Attorney General's Office said in a statement.
"The state further alleges Madison-Cranford was physically abusive towards the victim and when she talked about leaving him, he strangled her and held a knife to her neck, leaving bruises on her face and neck."
The case was initially investigated by the FBI’s Southeast Michigan Trafficking and Exploitation Crimes Task Force.
“Human trafficking is a uniquely horrific offense, and its perpetrators often prey upon the most vulnerable in our communities,” said Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Tuesday. “I am thankful for our continued partnership with the FBI’s SEMTEC Task Force, and my Department will continue to use the full resources of the law and the state to uproot the scourge of human trafficking from our communities.”
Madison-Cranford has been at the Oakland County Jail since August 2021, records show.
An attorney listed as representing him did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.

Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
Crews with Pennsylvania American Water were making repairs to a main break in Valley Township, Pennsylvania, when they discovered a loss of positive water pressure in a storage tank.
“Loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back pressure or back siphonage,” a spokesperson for Pennsylvania American Water said.
Where can impacted residents find bottled water?
Bottled water is available at 100 Cheshire Court, Suite 104 in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.
What should impacted customers do before using their water?
Impacted customers should not drink water in their homes without boiling it first. Bring the water to a rolling boil and let it boil for one minute and cool before using or use bottled water. Customers should use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing their teeth and preparing food until further notice.
What is Pennsylvania American Water doing to resolve the problem?
The company is working to repair the main break and also collecting and analyzing additional water quality samples, including bacteria samples. They will inform impacted customers when they will no longer need to boil their water.
Impacted customers can find more information on the Pennsylvania American Water website or call the company’s customer service center at 800-565-7292.

OKLAHOMA, USA — Oklahoma’s new Republican attorney general accused Gov. Kevin Stitt on Tuesday of failing to follow state law and said he’s stepping into a long running legal dispute over tribal gambling agreements Stitt signed in 2020.
In a letter and personal phone call to the fellow Republican, Attorney General Gentner Drummond said he notified Stitt that he’s joining the lawsuit to represent the state’s interest at the request of House Speaker Charles McCall and Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat.
“As you should fully understand, this long running and costly litigation is a direct result of your refusal to follow Oklahoma law,” Drummond wrote. “The four tribal gaming compacts you signed were invalid from the start because you did not have the approval or authorization from the Oklahoma Legislature to enter the gaming compacts.”
Stitt’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Drummond’s action.
The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Citizen Potawatomi and Choctaw nations filed a federal lawsuit in federal district court in Washington over the governor’s gambling compacts with four other tribes: the Comanche Nation, the Otoe-Missouria, the Kialegee Tribal Town and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. Private law firms hired by Stitt to defend the compacts have already racked up nearly $600,000 in legal fees, Drummond said.
Stitt entered into those agreements after his failed attempt in 2019 to renegotiate the gambling compacts with all of the Oklahoma-based tribes, seeking a greater share of revenue for the state and arguing that the compacts approved by voters in 2004 had expired. A federal judge ultimately sided with the tribes and said the compacts automatically renewed.
Since then, Stitt’s relationship with tribal leaders has continued to worsen, prompting criticism from fellow Republicans about his hostile approach to tribal negotiations. Treat, the Republican leader of the state Senate, said this week lawmakers may consider taking control of negotiating tribal compacts away from the governor.
Casino gambling is a booming industry in Oklahoma, with more than 130 casinos dotting the state, ranging from gas station annexes to resort-style hotel casinos, many of them in border communities, since voters approved a gambling expansion in 2004. The fees the tribes paid to the state for the exclusive right to casino-style gambling totaled nearly $200 million last year, most of which was earmarked for public schools.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — For several days now, a barn fire right off Highway 72 between Bentonville and Pea Ridge has been catching the attention of many drivers.
The Pea Ridge Fire Department (PRFD) has been fighting the fire at Jac’s Ranch all week. They say the cause of the fire is hay, and hay fires take a long time to put out.
PRFD Chief Clint Bowen says his department sees hay fires more often during rainy summers like this one.
“As the hay is stacked closely together, it compacts, and as that starts to mildew, bacteria starts to break it down,” Bowen said. “In that moisture, it builds up enough heat to where it finally starts to combust.”
Then, he says, the heat from that combustion dries out the rest of the hay, creating a perfect environment for a fire that just keeps reigniting.
“It could take up to a week for it to burn. We've had several of them that have gone a week or maybe a little bit longer,” Bowen said.
Being a farmer himself, Chief Bowen says he also understands what this means for the ranch.
“Hay has just skyrocketed over the last few years as far as prices,” Bowen said. "With how many [bales] were in that barn... it's definitely a small fortune. I mean, it's very devastating.”
Chief Bowen says hay fires are not only financially damaging, but they can also cause problems as the ranch looks to the future.
“There’s a lot of planning that goes into that,” Bowen said. “You look at each head of cow … and if you’ve already made your plans, and you’ve already got ‘x’ number of tons of your roughage taken care of to get them through the wintertime, well, now you don’t. You’re starting all over again.”
Now that the fire is contained, Chief Bowen says all they can do is monitor and wait.
“We make sure the ground is super wet around and make sure there's not a huge ember or wind problem,” Bowen said. “… We have some great guys from the ranch out there who are gonna sit there and basically babysit it for us, and they'll keep an eye on it.”
He says now, more of a safety concern than the fire is slowdowns on the highway as people stop to look.
“Try to keep your eyes on the road. Obviously try to maintain the speed limit, and just drive safely because that was catastrophic enough to deal with right there. We don't want to deal with any car wrecks also,” Bowen said.
Chief Bowen says his department has received many calls from the community about the fire.
He says they appreciate the concern, and they’ll continue to keep an eye on it as it goes down.

Anne Brown crossed and uncrossed her arms as she watched sweat trickle down the faces and necks of a dozen people in line before her.
On Tuesday, Brown was one of more than 25 senior citizens waiting in the heat of the day for something that would give them relief later: free fans.
“If you think to yourself, ‘Who’s going to show up for something like this when it’s so hot out, you’d be surprised,” said Joe Barnes, a vice president at United Way, the responsible charity. “You know there’s a real need when people show up for $25 fans.”
Brown — a lifelong resident of High Point who is currently retired and on disability — is no stranger to problems with air temperature in her home. In the winter, her heater might break down when it’s around 30 degrees; then in the summer, the heat can linger throughout multiple rooms.
People are also reading…
“I need a fan to blow the air throughout different rooms,” Brown said. “I don’t want it to stick around in one room.”
The “Fans For Seniors” event, hosted by UnitedWay and Senior Resources of Guilford at West End Ministries, gave out nearly 50 packaged, 20-inch box fans to seniors and disabled citizens in Guilford County. Residents were asked to provide photo ID and documentation proving that they have a disability and are above 60 years old.
It’s UnitedWay and Senior Resources’ fourth giveaway this summer in their 10-year long partnership. One more giveaway may be held in August. Members of the community helped by donating fans to the initiative.
“Many seniors in our community live in homes without sufficient air conditioning, leaving them at risk of heat-related illnesses during the summer months,” wrote Jane Liebscher, president of United Way of Greater High Point in a press release. “We are proud to offer this affordable solution to help them stay cool and healthy.”
Barnes, who led the giveaway by guiding seniors to the tent with fans, directing traffic in the small parking lot, and helping with registration, said that the event is essential for the community.
“Several people have told us that the fan has saved their lives when temperatures get hot like this,” said Barnes.
James Watkins, another High Point resident who had come to get a free fan said that it’s too expensive to get someone to fix existing fans and air conditioning.
“$1,300 is too much,” said Watkins. “Where am I gonna get that money? I’m on disability.”
“You go up to social services, they look at you like you’re crazy,” Brown added. “But as long as the Lord’s on your side, you’ve got nothing to worry about.”
Record-breaking temperatures and untenable living conditions across the country were a hot topic among the seniors in line.
According to data from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Climate Forecast System, the last two weeks were among the Earth’s hottest on record.
Some seniors in the High Point community and beyond could be made vulnerable to other fatal conditions like heart failure if they don’t have relief from the summer heat.
United Way of Greater High Point is also looking for people to support this initiative by donating box fans. Fans can be dropped off at the United Way office located at 815 Phillips Ave. in High Point or at any of the designated fan drop-off locations throughout the community.
United Way asks that all donated fans be 20-inch box fans, new in the box, and UL-approved. Twenty-five-dollar donations to purchase fans are also being accepted. Donated fans can be dropped off at United Way of Greater High Point. Please call beforehand to schedule a drop-off time. Monetary donations are also accepted ($25 per fan) and can be made at the United Way in High Point or online at www.unitedwayhp.org.

PORTLAND, Ore. (PORTLAND TRIBUNE) — The annual music festival Pickathon returns to Pendarvis Farm, 16 miles outside of Portland in Happy Valley, for Aug. 3-6, and organizers are flirting with the idea that this may be the last one.
The 10-year land use permit expires this year, but no one is forcing the landowners to sell. That narrative may just be a marketing ruse, but Pickathon really is one of the premium festivals on the West Coast. Stages are scattered throughout the wooded hillside, so it feels like you are stumbling up hidden gems. Bands might play in an air conditioned barn, then join the crowds for three days to check out what’s new. Everyone dips in and out of the shade, which keeps the event bearable even on 100-degree days.
The festival has outgrown its folksy, old-timey music origins. Now there is as much shredding of electric guitars and slapping of funky bass as there is string picking and yodeling.
Weekend tickets for adults are $440, day passes are $195 f or Friday and Sunday and $225 Saturday. Weekend parking is $120. There is a free shuttle bus from Clackamas Town Center which avoids hot, traffic jam hell. Pendarvis Farm is at 16581 SE Hagen Rd., Happy Valley.
The artists speak
We talked to three acts about why they are excited to play Pickathon: Tatiana Hargreaves, who plays with Allison de Groot; Kevin Murphy of Small Paul; and Erich Huffaker of Orchestra Gold. For taste of more artists try the Pickathon Spotify playlist.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Three men suffered overdoses of an unknown substance early Tuesday morning, and despite an emergency use of Narcan, one man died in the parking lot of a local bar, Woodburn police said.
Officers responded to Rumor’s Bar and Grill at 327 North Pacific Highway around 1:27 a.m. and found an unconscious 31-year-old man. Witnesses told officers he had been with two other men, who were later found unresponsive in a vehicle in the parking lot.
All three men were given Narcan, police say. The man inside the bar and the 29-year-old man outside were taken to the local hospital, but 32-year-old Ivan Garcia-Cruz died at the scene.
The details of the men’s drug use are still under investigation, but witnesses told police that all three had done drugs prior to the incident.
Woodburn Police issued the following statement Tuesday afternoon:
“WPD strongly reminds the public that the use of any illicit substances can lead to a substantial risk to their lives. Illicit drugs are often ‘cut’ with other substances that are often more inexpensive to increase the profits of drug dealers. Among the variety of substances that are mixed with illicit drugs, fentanyl has been on the rise. Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid that has been linked to a substantial rise in overdoses in Oregon and throughout the country.”
An investigation is still ongoing. Stay with KOIN 6 as this story develops.

Community members are raising money on behalf of a Casper teenager who survived a "life-altering car accident" Thursday that left him in a coma for two days.
Brendin Lehman, 17, has a severe head injury and facial lacerations, two broken femurs, bruised lungs and several other fractures and cuts, the GoFundMe page, organized by his uncle Michael Lehman, states.
He was taken off sedation Saturday morning "and, by the grace of God, responded to the voices of the doctors and family at his bedside," the page states. Brendin remains in the intensive care unit.
"Although alive, Brendin is facing a long uphill battle to recover," the page states. "...The prognosis of the neurologist in charge of Brendin’s case was bleak at best."
People are also reading…
The most critical concern is Brendin's head injury, as the family is unsure if his full faculties will recover and if the traumatic brain injury will have any lasting effects such as personality shifts or mental disabilities, the page states.
Brendin's father, Zachary, is the sole provider for him and his 14-year-old sister after they suddenly lost their mother four years ago, the page states.
"The medical expenses and emotional toll are more than the family can bear," the page states.
Brendin is described as a young man with "a heart full of dreams," the page states. He could always be found working on his car or his truck, and he is a dedicated older brother.

A lightning strike from a passing storm caused a 143-acre wildland fire Monday night in the area of Westwind Road near Bar Nunn, the Natrona County Fire District announced.
Several homes in the area were evacuated as a result. There were no reports of injuries to first responders or civilians.
Casper officials received multiple reports from the public last night "that they could see a fire in the field near the concrete plant, north of Bar Nunn," the fire district said in a statement Tuesday.
At about 6:44 p.m., multiple fire departments were dispatched to the area, and fire crews started identifying routes into the fire to begin battling the blaze, the statement said.
The fire spread rapidly with the passing storm, and the fire became wind driven.
"More resources were requested immediately," the statement said.
People are also reading…
Officials determined the homes along the northwest section of Barn Nunn were threatened at that time, which prompted evacuations along the west side of Antelope Drive between Lakota and Zuni trails, and seven homes along the north side of Zuni Trail.
"Those residences were placed into the "Set" phase of the "Ready" "Set" "Go!" evacuation phase," the statement said.
Eight different agencies, including City of Casper Fire-EMS Department and Wyoming Highway Patrol, were requested to the scene.
The initial arriving units started attacking the fire, and the newly arriving units were put to work on containing it, the statement said. Structure units also arrived to prepare to protect the evacuated homes.
It took about one-hour to put out the fire, which was logged as contained at 7:46 p.m.
Officials asked the public to give them space to work and operate in the future, and "to watch for emergency vehicles that are responding," the statement said.
"When there are active incidents, like yesterday’s wildland fire, we ask that you please avoid the area and not enter the incident area to take photos or watch," the statement said.

Education materials from PragerU Kids will be allowed in Florida schools, according to the Florida Department of Education on Monday.
PragerU is a political nonprofit that openly advocates for conservative political beliefs, offering a “free alternative to the dominant left-wing ideology in culture, media, and education,” the group’s website reads.
The website features documentaries, opinion pieces and interviews with many other conservative commentators, though it also provides educational materials for children in grades K-6.
Its “PragerU Kids program” offers online videos like “Cash Course,” “Leo & Layla’s History Adventures” and “Street Smarts” to teach younger students about topics like civics and finance.
[EXCLUSIVE: Become a News 6 Insider (it’s FREE) | PINIT! Share your photos]
On Monday morning, PragerU CEO Marissa Streit announced that PragerU turnkey lessons had been approved as educational resources in Florida.
BIG NEWS: America’s students will be watching PragerU videos in school!
— PragerU (@prageru) July 24, 2023
Our new turnkey lessons are becoming approved educational resources — starting with Florida!
The establishment is trying to prevent this from happening. We need your help!
👉https://t.co/sstKRiFVWj pic.twitter.com/wLApt2blTn
In a message to News 6, the Florida Department of Education confirmed that PragerU Kids materials matched with the state’s educational standards for civics and government classes.
While the lessons aren’t instructional materials adopted for the state’s curriculum, they can supplement the existing curriculum if district leaders allow it, FDOE officials noted.
“PragerU Kids is no different than many other resources, which can be used as supplement materials in Florida schools at district discretion,” the message from FDOE reads.
However, some education officials have pushed back against the approval, citing PragerU’s political advocacy as a potential conflict of interest.
“I think this is to promote a political ideology and not to promote the education of our children...” said President Andrew Spar of the Florida Education Association. “I think teachers right now are concerned about the lack of materials and the types of materials that are being approved.
The example Spar gave was a video discussing the Boston Tea Party, which showed people with “plastic bottles of iced tea.”
“Well, I don’t think there was iced tea back in the Boston Tea Party, and I certainly know there was not plastic bottles back during the Boston Tea Party,” he said.

MAYFLOWER, Ark. — There's an old rivalry between police and fire departments, but in Mayflower, that's being set aside for anyone passing through town.
It's a chance for them to get ahead of their everyday operations.
"Mainly quick response," Mayflower Fire Chief Ashton Tolliver said. "Soon as the call comes in, we're en route."
Rather than responding, they want to be ready.
"We just need to be ready for it in case it does happen," Tolliver said. "It's better to be proactive."
Tolliver said staying ready involves a Safe Haven Baby Box, a device installed on a building so those unable to care for an infant have a safe and discreet way to surrender their child.
"It'll give us a safe, reliable option for mothers in crisis who need to surrender," Tolliver said.
According to the Safe Haven Baby Box website, adding a baby box in Mayflower would bring Arkansas to 18 total boxes.
And the Mayflower Police Department is getting help from their old rivals across the street.
"We give each other a hard time," Mayflower Police Chief Douglas Hunter said. "At the end of the day, we work together to achieve the end goal, and that's to get the job done."
Hunter said they saw other cities installing them in fire stations. After a conversation with the fire department, they decided to push for one themselves.
"The chief and I, and several others, were talking about [it]," Hunter said. "We saw the number of babies being surrendered around the country... Then we started seeing them surrendered in Arkansas."
The box costs about $11,000, something they're fundraising to get. Hunter said it doesn't matter if no one uses the box. They want the option available.
"Any child that may be put into this situation," Hunter said. "We want them to be safe."
Two departments readying a response before an emergency ever happens.
"It'll help greatly," Tolliver said. "If any mother is traveling or who lives in our community, the option will be here."
Less than two months ago, a mother traveled from out of state to make a drop-off at Benton's Fire Station 3 box because her state didn't offer anonymous and safe surrender options.
"I am so thankful this parent chose a safe option for their child," CEO and Founder of Safe Haven Baby Box Monica Kelsey said. "We may never know why they used this baby box, but we do know how much they loved their baby."
With over 100 Safe Haven Baby Boxes located nationwide, the organization aims to take face-to-face interaction from the surrender and protect the parents' identity. The Safe Haven Baby Box said its primary goal is to raise awareness of the safe-haven law, which allows parents to relinquish an infant without fear of arrest or prosecution.
The law is designed to protect babies, and infants surrendered must not have been abused or neglected.

BLOOMINGTON — Efforts to round up cows that escaped after a vehicle crash have prompted police to divert traffic at a highway intersection on Bloomington's south side.
The crash occurred at 6:31 p.m. on Interstate 74 near U.S. 51, said Bloomington police, whose officers were assisting with traffic control. Additional information about the crash itself was not immediately available from Illinois State Police, the agency in charge of the scene.
A semitrailer truck carrying an estimated 25 to 30 cows was involved, and an unknown number of cows were still loose about 8 p.m., police said.
Transportation to take the cows from the scene also was being arranged.

ROYSE CITY, Texas — A local AMBER Alert has been issued for a missing 16-year-old girl out of Royse City.
Caylee Lynne Sellers is described as a white female, 5-foot-3, 110 pounds, with black hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a white hoodie with Colorado written on it and black pants and was carrying a black backpack.
Royse City police said Sellers was last seen around 5 a.m. on Saturday, July 22. According to police, Sellers was spending the night at a friend's house in the 300 block of North Houston Street when she told her friend that her mother wanted her home. Sellers told her friend that her mother called an Uber to take her home, police said.
Something her family says isn't true.
The friend told police that Sellers may have entered a black passenger car with chrome wheels. Police said that the friend stated Sellers was texting her about the ride home and that Sellers texted she arrived home in Caddo Mills.
Police said at about 4 p.m. on that same Saturday, Sellers' mother arrived at the friend's home to pick up Sellers. It was there that the mother learned Sellers had left at about 5 a.m.
The mother called Sellers' father to see if she went to his home, but the 16-year-old was not there, according to police.
Police said the father checked the location of Sellers' cell phone, which showed that it was turned off and that its last location was somewhere in Euless at about 7 a.m. that morning.
Sellers' mother called Euless police and drove to Euless but could not find her. The mother then contacted the Royse City Police Department, where the 16-year-old was entered as a missing person/runaway.
"The Royse City Police Department has now exhausted all leads, including possible sightings in Royse City, Fate, Rockwall, Heath, Forney, Garland, and Greenville, and are asking for assistance in locating Caylee Sellers," police said in a news release.
Royse City police said they have no information that Sellers was abducted but are concerned for her safety, which led to the local AMBER Alert.
"A local area AMBER Alert is new and allows law enforcement to submit a request through the Texas Department of Public Safety for an AMBER Alert even when all the criteria for a state-wide alert have not been verified," police said.
The criteria and use of a local AMBER Alert became law during the most recent legislative session and was inspired by the murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand.
Late Tuesday, Sellers' father, Craig, told WFAA he's concerned someone might have taken his daughter or coerced her to run away.
"We're very worried about her. This is not her behavior," Craig Sellers said. "With everything that's going on in the world right now, with the abduction of girls and them being sold into sex trafficking -- it's terrifying. All we want is for Caylee to come home."
Anyone with information is asked to call Royse City police at 972-636-9422 or their local law enforcement agency.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Record high heat and only one Lee County-run park with a splash pad open. Now a mother is fighting for more to be done so families can cool off.
A petition to open one of the more popular splash pad areas at Lakes Park is up to over 100 signatures. The splash pads at Lakes Park are currently closed off with orange fencing and signs that say they’re still awaiting repairs from Hurricane Ian damage.
“It’s a little disappointing that it’s been several months and that we don’t have access to the splash pads still,” said Alison Baker, a mother who lives in Cape Coral.
After finding out the splash pads were closed at Fellowship Park in the Cape, Baker took her daughters to Lakes Park.
“I was hopeful that they’d have it up and running by now. I feel like they probably haven’t made it a priority,” she said.
Started by Jane D’Alonzo, who lives in Lee County, the petition states: “It’s imperative to provide safe and enjoyable outdoor spaces for children to play and beat the heat,” and calls for the immediate repair of the Lakes Park splash pad.
“There’s really a limited amount of things to do with young children in Fort Myers in general, both indoor and outdoor,” said D’Alonzo. “This was just a primary spot for us. Other counties out there are prioritizing parks and recreational areas because they know how important they are.”
Her petition also asks for more splash pads to be built, sharing data about Fort Myer’s growing younger demographic, and stressing the importance of outdoor play spaces.
“I grew up in New York, and I can tell you that Brooklyn certainly has more splash pads than Fort Myers and that is crazy to me!” She said. “I realize there wasn’t enough being done, so why not get the voice of the families of Fort Myers out there, to see if we can get the county to respond and give us an update as to what their plans are?”
The splash pads at Lakes Park have been shut down for ten months and the county does not have an update to share on the repairs.
The county said the splash pad is open at Veterans Park in Lehigh Acres. They couldn’t tell us when the splash pad area at Lakes Park will reopen to families.

PHOENIX — A cat injured in a fire earlier this year is ready for adoption, according to the Arizona Humane Society.
Libby, an 11-month-old domestic shorthair, was burned in a fire in downtown Phoenix in April. She has been receiving treatment and recovering for the past four months.
"AHS veterinarians immediately treated Libby for her wounds, administered subcutaneous fluids, antibiotic and pain medications, as well as observed for possible respiratory damage due to smoke inhalation," the humane society said.
The cat suffered significant injuries in the fire, according to the humane society. Her ears and nose were burned and she had melted plastic throughout her body.
"Libby has undergone dozens of medical procedures from surgeries to remove damaged digits, sedation to clean and clip her burns as well as daily bandage changes," the humane society said.
A month into her recovery, Libby was ready to be placed with a Foster Hero who got her ready to be adopted by a loving family.
The formerly black cat now sports a distinctive look.
In the area where she was burned her coat has grown back in white.
The humane society said Libby will need to have her nails trimmed regularly because of scarring on her feet. This is so her nails do not grow into her paws.
If you are interested in adopting Libby, you can give her a visit at AHS’ South Mountain Campus to see if she is a fit for your family.
For more information on Libby and the hundreds of other pets available for adoption, click here.
Thanks to a donation from Bissell Pet the humane society is running a $20 adoption special until July 31.

PORTLAND, Oregon — Neighbors in Northeast Portland are still picking up debris and ash from the a large fire that gutted the old Kmart near Northeast 122nd Avenue and Northeast Sandy Boulevard Wednesday morning. Sending chunks of ashy material as far as two miles from the building.
“It kind of speaks to the biggest systemic problem that’s affecting our neighborhood,” said Aaron Blew, who lives in the Argay neighborhood. “We can still smell smoke in the air. We are worried about what this means for our garden and for the air quality for ourselves and our neighbors.”
On Thursday, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) confirmed debris found in the surrounding neighborhoods, on Parkrose School District property and in Luuwit View Park tested positive for asbestos. Officials now say, additional testing from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is showing less contamination than the initial results suggested.
But residents of the area are still left to pick up potentially contaminated debris off their properties.
“I would have loved to have seen an equitable response to what Ted Wheeler would want in his own neighborhood," said Blew. "Like if it was a more affluent neighborhood, I think there would be a different response. And I think it's unfair to all the neighbors who we have here in this great neighborhood.”
On Friday, the EPA contracted environmental scientists to walk the area and record where they visually found debris. Here’s a map of their findings. Its spans from Northeast Sandy Boulevard to Northeast Halsey Street.
KGW reached out to DEQ for clarification on how many of the samples tested, both times, came back positive for asbestos but did not get a response.
Rather, someone from the EPA clarified over the phone that the initial asbestos testing was conducted by Portland Parks and Recreation, but wasn’t “done to EPA’s specs.” Adding, they don’t know whether this information collected by a contractor can be relied upon.
“I think we need to see more urgency and more desire from the city council and DEQ to take care of folks in this neighborhood,” said Blew.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Portland Fire said it's conducting a joint scene examination Wednesday morning. They are still looking for anyone with video of the Kmart lot between 5:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Especially anything prior to the fire department arriving.

EL MIRAGE, Ariz. — A video of police performing life-saving measures on a 2-year-old girl pulled from a swimming pool over the weekend has been released by the El Mirage Police Department.
The girl was pulled from a backyard pool near Northern Avenue and El Mirage Road in El Mirage by police on Saturday.
Body camera video shows officers rushing into the home and quickly jumping into action to help the girl.
Police said the child was not breathing when pulled from the pool. The responding officers immediately began working to resuscitate her.
According to police, officers revived the child after performing CPR and she was transported to a local hospital.
“The relentless life-saving efforts by officers shows their dedication to protecting the lives of our community members,” police said in a release.

Drowning Prevention Tips:
Drowning is the leading cause of death for children between ages 1-4 aside from birth defects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Three children die every day as a result of drowning. Here are some tips from the CDC on how to protect children around water:
Learn life-saving skills.
Everyone should know the basics of swimming (floating, moving through the water) and CPR.
Fence it off.
Install a four–sided isolation fence, with self–closing and self–latching gates, around backyard swimming pools. This can help keep children away from the area when they aren’t supposed to be swimming. Pool fences should be completely separate the house and play area from the pool.
Life jackets are a must.
Make sure kids wear life jackets in and around natural bodies of water, such as lakes or the ocean, even if they know how to swim. Life jackets can be used in and around pools for weaker swimmers too.
Keep a close watch
When kids are in or near water (including bathtubs), closely supervise them at all times. Because drowning happens quickly and quietly, adults watching kids in or near water should avoid distracting activities like reading books, talking on the phone, or using alcohol and drugs.

PORTLAND, Oregon — Portland's famous Belmont Goats may be on the move yet again, and this time, there's a chance they could be moving into some luxury digs. The owner is considering a Northwest Portland mansion up for auction this week known as Blackberry Castle.
The goats have been a popular attraction for years. They also serve as therapy animals that people can visit. They currently reside in a neighborhood near St. Johns in North Portland.
The woman who owns the herd of 14 goats has been looking for some property that would allow them to have more space.
“We bought the goats to keep them together in Portland and that has been our mission statements the last ten years,” said owner Jess Kurtz.
She has been working with investors the last several months to find property where she’ll be able to run her nonprofit called The Belmont Goats.
One place she’s looking at is Blackberry Castle, a sprawling mansion that sits on more than six acres on Germantown Road and is on sale for five million dollars. The property has been for sale since 2015.
The castle goes up for auction on Wednesday. It's received plenty of attention over the years and was owned by an adult film actress for a short time. Now Kurtz is hoping the house gets into the hands of one of her investors.

“We want to entertain and see where it takes us. Essentially, we’re trying to raise money to buy land, we need a permanent home, “ Kurtz said.
The Belmont Goats have moved locations several times in the last years. The nonprofit, aimed at creating a rural oasis amid Portland's urban core, started on Southeast Belmont Street 10 years ago, then moved to the Lents area. When their lease ended in 2018, they moved to North Portland in the University Park neighborhood.
They're currently leasing the property the goats are on to the city for at least the next three years.

A group of booksellers and publishers filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block a new Texas book ratings law they say could ban such classics "Romeo and Juliet" and "Of Mice and Men" from state public school classrooms and libraries over sexual content.
The law is set to take effect Sept. 1. It would require stores to evaluate and rate books they sell or have sold to schools in the past for such content. Vendors who don’t comply would be barred from doing business with schools.
The lawsuit argues the law is unconstitutionally vague, a violation of free speech rights and an undue burden on booksellers. It seeks to block the law before it takes effect.

The lawsuit argues the law is unconstitutionally vague, a violation of free speech rights and an undue burden on booksellers. It seeks to block the law before it takes effect.
A book would be rated “sexually explicit” if the material is deemed offensive and not part of the required curriculum. Those books would be removed from school bookshelves.
Critics of the Texas bill predicted when it was signed into law that the new standards would mostly likely be used to target materials dealing with LGBTQ+ subject matter.

“We all want our kids to be accepted, embraced, and able to see themselves and their families in public school curriculums and books,” said Val Benavidez, executive director of the Texas Freedom Network.
State officials would review vendors’ ratings and can request a change if they consider it incorrect. School districts and charter schools would be banned from contracting with booksellers who refuse to comply.
State Rep. Jared Patterson, one of the Republican authors of the bill, said he’s been expecting the lawsuit but believes the law will be upheld in court.
“I fully recognize the far left will do anything to maintain their ability to sexualize our children,” Patterson said.

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WJHL) — Apple Creek Creamery took to social media on Tuesday night to announce it will be relocating after the owner of the car wash they were stationed at was arrested.
The ice cream shop said it was leasing land space at the car wash, but has since decided to move following news of the car wash’s owner, Cheila Garcia, being arrested on numerous drug charges.
Apple Creek Creamery owners said they’ve not yet decided on a new location but will keep the public updated on social media when they plan to reopen in their new spot.

Amid recent attacks and crimes, residents in New Castle County, Delaware, have been saying they don't feel safe in local parks. Several politicians are now pushing for a safety plan.
On July 5, Tom Baker was randomly attacked and robbed by three teens wearing ski masks while visiting Glasgow Park in Newark. They punched and kicked Baker repeatedly, he said.
He told NBC10 that he had to wait over an hour for police to arrive.
The three teens were later arrested and identified by police as 18-year-old Gregory Brown of Newark and two 15-year-olds. They were each charged with robbery and conspiracy among other charges.

"The two things I wanted to see were I wanted more security at the park and I wanted the guys to get caught," Baker said.
Following this attack and several other crimes in the county's 250 parks, more local officers started being more visible.
New resolution calls for safety

Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
New Castle County Councilmember David Tackett called for a resolution to force the county to figure out a tangible park safety plan to cut down on crimes.
"Why is this happening? Why are we not hearing about it in municipalities and state parks? Why are our parks so vulnerable? That's what we need to isolate and bring to the table," Tackett said.
All of the parks are different sizes with varying needs. There are a lot of ideas on the table, including gates on the driveways that lock at night or more surveillance cameras.
New Castle County officials told NBC10 that a good plan is in place and a resolution isn't needed.
The county's police chief said that it's getting increasingly difficult to recruit new officers, but his team is working to keep all parks safe.
As for Baker, he told NBC10 he's glad that sharing his story is leading to change.
"It looks like people are taking more interest in this and that they're going to be making changes," he said. "But time will tell."

'Jealousy and unfounded paranoia': 88-year-old Taunton man pleads guilty to murdering wife
TAUNTON — An 88-year-old Taunton man has pled guilty to murdering his 71-year-old wife in a jealous rage, the Bristol County district attorney's office said.
Edmund Silveira pled guilty in Fall River Superior Court on Friday, July 21, 2023, to second-degree murder in the death of his wife Dianne Silveira, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn said in a written statement Tuesday afternoon.
"This was a case based on jealousy and unfounded paranoia that resulted in the defendant murdering his wife," Quinn said. "The defendant's selfish actions resulted in a terrible loss for her many family members and friends."
Judge Susan Sullivan sentenced Silveira to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years.
What happened on the day of the murder?
'Out of Control'Taunton councilor sounds alarm over speeding cars plowing into homes
"The evidence showed that shortly before 9 p.m., the victim's sister called the victim on the phone and heard the victim scream before the phone went dead," the DA's office said. "After trying to reach the victim several times, the sister contacted Taunton Police."
A neighbor saw Dianne Silveira "lying motionless in the driveway" and then "saw the defendant walking away from the victim's body," the DA's office said.
When police arrived, Edmund Silveira retreated into his home and Dianne Silveira was rushed to Morton Hospital, where she was declared dead at 9:23 p.m.
"The defendant, now inside his home, turned off all the lights and did not respond to any efforts by law enforcement to make contact with him," the DA's office said.
A tactical team used a camera-equipped robot to enter the home and found Edmund Silveira in the kitchen with an apparent self-inflicted laceration to both his arm and neck, the DA's office said. He later told police "he first attempted to shoot himself, but the gun jammed."
'Don't think it's natural'Police report sheds light on Taunton murder
Who was Dianne Silveira?
According to her obituary, Dianne Silveira attended daily mass and was devoted to God and her faith — and had a gift caring for children.
Doreen Barbrick, a neighbor who was also a friend of Dianne Silveira's, said the two went to the same church, St. Jude’s.
“She was a very nice person and very religious,” Barbrick told the Gazette shortly after the murder.
A previous domestic disturbance call
According to the affidavit, Taunton police had previously responded to the home back on March 19, 2021, for a domestic disturbance call, and at that time Dianne Silveira appeared to be visibly upset and said to the officers, “I need to leave.”
She told police Edmund Silveira had become extremely controlling over the years and did not allow her to go for walks or even use her cellphone and appeared to have paranoid fears about another man she had no ties to, the affidavit said.
In fact, Dianne Silveira did leave — moving to Connecticut out of fear that her husband would attack and kill her. But Edmund Silveira lured her back in the summer to take care of him after he broke a hip — the same summer that he killed her.
"In a recorded confession, the defendant admitted to suspecting his wife of having an affair (she was not) and didn’t want her to tell her sister that they had been arguing," the DA's office said Tuesday.
The DA's office said Edmund Silveira will serve his sentence in a state prison to be determined by the Department of Correction. He has been held in the Bristol County Jail since his arrest, the DA's office said.

LANCASTER, Pa. — Transportation was driving discussion at a town hall meeting in the Lancaster Airport. County and state officials heard from a dozen people about the need to make traveling easier throughout Lancaster County.
“Whether it’s bike lanes or traffic jams on the streets, those are issues people are concerned about," said Pa. House Representative Mike Sturla, a Democrat from Lancaster County.
“Our charge is to get people safely and efficiently from point A to point B, and I’m not sure that’s happening now," said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll.
The town hall comes as the Lancaster Airport looks at ways to expand services to potential flyers.
“There’s an unmet need for the community here, so what we’re trying to do is match that," said Ed Foster, the executive director for the Lancaster Airport.
Foster told FOX43 the Lancaster Airport is already the third busiest airport in the Commonwealth, and that there’s an appetite for more travelers to go through the terminal.
“We want that hometown feel, and we want to capture the unmet need of the people that are already traveling to other airlines," said Foster.
Foster says the airport is negotiating with numerous airlines and is confident more destinations will be added. He believes increased service will help improve travel for the people of Lancaster County.
“There’s nothing worse than landing and having to get in a car to drive two or three hours, especially when it’s eleven o’clock at night," said Foster. "You want to get in your car and drive five minutes to get home, and that’s what we want to address.”

Steel production declined by 5,000 tons in the Great Lakes region last week in its fourth straight week of decline, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Locally, steel mills in the Great Lakes region, clustered mainly along the south shore of Lake Michigan in Northwest Indiana, made 530,000 tons of metal in the week that ended July 22, down from 535,000 tons the previous week and 571,000 tons four weeks prior.
Steel mills remained below 80% capacity, but have been inching back toward that key threshold for financial success for the steel sector.
After years of record profitability, the industry saw imports grab 24% of the market share last year as prices fell back down from all-time highs. Steel prices have since been on the mend as automotive orders have picked back up as automotive production has ramped back up and appliance manufacturing has held steady.

Overall, domestic steel mills made 1.741 million tons of steel last week, up 1.5% from 1.716 million tons the previous week and down 1.2% compared to 1.721 million tons the same time a year prior.
U.S. steel mills have run at a capacity utilization rate of 75.8% through Saturday, down from 80% at the same point in 2022, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Steel capacity utilization was 76.6% last week, down from 78.1% a year earlier and up from 75.5% the week prior.
Steel production in the southern region, which encompasses many mini-mills and rivals the Great Lakes region in output, totaled 785,000 tons last week, up from 768,000 tons the week before, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Volume in the rest of the Midwest rose to 222,000 tons, up from 214,000 tons the week prior.

PORTAGE — Police are investigating after a Horizon Bank location was robbed Monday afternoon.
A white male suspect entered the bank shortly before 2:25 p.m. at 2650 Willowcreek Road and handed a bank teller a note, demanding currency. Once he had the money, the suspect fled the scene.
The suspect did not make any threats or pull out any weapons during the robbery, Portage police said.
Lt. Rob Maynard said police have identified a suspect and are trying to find him. Once formal charges have been filed, the suspect's name will be released to the public.

SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, Pa. — It was supposed to be a normal day of work for Luke Updyke of Union Dale.
The excavation worker was on his way to pick up his equipment when he found this mess near his parents' home along Route 492 near New Milford.
"I mean, they had two trees down. We had 4, 5 trees down. They do, and then I went all the way up our neighbor and picked up 10 trees with my skid steer. It's, you know, not normal, but it's pretty weird how it's just pocketed in this area," said Luke Updyke, Uniondale.
The Stormtracker 16 team says Monday night's thunderstorm hit northern Susquehanna County and part of Wayne County.
Strong winds split fully-grown trees, leaving telephone poles looking more like broken toothpicks.
"You go up the road here, and it's the same thing that way, but in this stretch right here. All of our neighbors had trees down, and you never really see that thought we had a tornado for sure I thought something was going on like we're not in Kansas anymore," explained Updyke.
But just as quickly as the storm ripped through the area, Updyke tells us construction crews and neighbors were out helping bring everything back to normal.
"It was one of those situations I was like, oh my God, but you know I've never seen anything like this, but luckily everyone came together. We all got it done really quick, which is nice," added Updyke.
Updyke says, thankfully, there was no major damage from that storm, and crews were able to get everything cleaned up.

GEORGETOWN, Texas — Around 23,000, or 35%, of Georgetown’s water customers are under Stage 3 restrictions.
If a customer's home falls west of Williams Drive, they are under those restrictions. Those east of Williams Drive are under Stage 2.
Cameron Krog, who has moved from Liberty Hill, is under Stage 3 restrictions.
"I don't know why it’s being applied to some of us," said Krog.
Stage 2 customers are allowed to use irrigation systems and sprinklers once a week. Stage 3 customers are supposed to stop outdoor watering. Hand watering is still allowed.
Krog said he is concerned about his lawn under Stage 3.
"I spend a lot of time and money trying get a yard established. I have done the aeration. I have done the top dressing. I check my sprinkler system weekly to make sure I am watering the right spots. It is a new yard – only two years old. I am trying to get it established where it has healthy roots, and by killing it I am kind of moving back on it," said Krog.
City Manager David Morgan said the water restrictions were put into place because of high demand for water.
"I definitely appreciate the concerns that those customers have, but our effort is to get as many people out of Stage 3 as possible,” said Morgan.
Morgan explained why customers west of Williams Drive are under tighter restrictions.
"We looked at our pressure system and looked at the pressure plains and where the infrastructure is, and based it on that. We will continue to work with those customers as best as we can," he said.
City leaders said they have noticed the water restrictions are already helping the city's water supply. For now, the restrictions remain in place until Sept. 4.
Krog said he wants go to back to using his irrigation system.
"I am worried about the grass dying between now and Sept. 5 when I can start watering again, hopefully," said Krog.

PORTLAND, Maine — The mission of the Salt Bay Chamberfest is straightforward: "To enrich the cultural life of midcoast Maine by producing musical concerts of the highest artistic level."
In August, the festival will return for its 29th season, bringing singers and musicians from around the world. It’s all quite a change from its earliest days when musicians performed in a cow barn.
"It really just came naturally out of a love of performing chamber music with good friends and colleagues," festival founder Wilhelmina Smith said, who is also a cellist. "We were all students at the time. Now, it’s just grown and developed into a professional organization."
For Smith and opera singer Kate Aldrich—who live in the midcoast but have both performed in Europe, Asia, and North and South America—this festival provides the rare opportunity to put on a show for friends and neighbors.
"It’s a very odd sensation," Aldrich said. "But you look out into the crowd and see all these faces that you know and they’re just there to cheer you on."
The Salt Bay Chamberfest runs from Aug. 7-19, with concerts in Damariscotta and Rockland. Watch our 207 interview to learn more.

BANGOR, Maine — The City of Bangor is welcoming a new art installation downtown.
Dozens of umbrellas will hang over Cross Street from now until October. The piece is a part of the global Umbrella Sky project first unveiled in Agueda, Portugal in 2011.
Bangor’s adaptation is the result of a joint effort between Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center — which recently launched its "#How Are you?” campaign — and the Downtown Bangor Partnership.
“We’re creating a space to draw attention to self-care, but also create a community [gathering] and a focal point.” Betsy Lundy, the executive director of the Downtown Bangor Partnership, said Tuesday.
Lundy also hopes the installation will stimulate business downtown, where there are still some vacant storefronts.
“We’ve already had property owners tell us that they’ve already had people reaching out to fill some of those empty spaces that are here on the corner and around the corner at Columbia Street,” Lundy said.
As construction gets underway — it shouldn’t last more than two days at most — business owners are starting to take notice.
Rick Vigue is the owner of Rebecca’s, a home goods boutique a few blocks away from the project on Maine Street. A gregarious gray-haired man, he says that business has been good this summer and that a piece of public art will make the city a destination.
“As long as they advertise well, I think the tourists are going to really enjoy it. You know, it kind of puts Bangor on the map.” Vigue said from his store on Tuesday.
Northern Light and the Downtown Bangor Partnership are hosting a launch party for the Sky of Umbrellas installation on Monday at 4:30 p.m. near the intersection of Cross and Main streets.

MAINE, USA — Maine game wardens have responded to two separate drowning incidents within the past 48 hours. One incident was in Lincoln, and the other was in an area known as Big Eddy.
Game wardens responded to Little Narrows Pond in Lincoln Sunday afternoon after Brian Minott, 61, of New Gloucester, did not resurface when swimming, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) said in a news release.
At about 2:30 p.m., Minott was reportedly swimming near the middle of the pond with four other people when he approached the stern of an anchored pontoon boat, went under the water, and did not resurface, according to the release.
"The Maine Warden Service, the Maine Forest Service, Lincoln Fire Department and the Howland Fire Department all responded to the scene and searched for Minott, but were initially unsuccessful," the MDIFW said.
The Maine Warden Service Dive Team reportedly located, then retrieved Minott's body around 10 p.m. approximately 1,000 feet from the shore and under 30 feet of water.
"Minott was brought to the Lamson Funeral Home in Lincoln, and was to be examined by a state medical examiner," the release stated.
On Monday afternoon, game wardens responded to the west branch of the Penobscot River in an area known as the Big Eddy for a man who had drowned after a raft flipped shortly after launching.
"Scott Newton, age 38 of Madison was whitewater rafting on a private trip with two other people, when the three of them were thrown into the water," the MDIFW said.
Two of the rafters reportedly made it to shore after moving through the "'dryway' gorge" area of the river, but Newton was seen in the water moving past them, the release said.
Several people retrieved his body at the Big Eddy after a man fishing called 911 from the Chewonki Big Eddy Campground, the MDIFW said. Game wardens and EMS personnel responded to the scene.
"... Newton was taken to the Lamson Funeral Home in Millinocket where he will be examined by a state medical examiner," the MDIFW said.

BROWNFIELD, Maine — Joyce Parker's canoe rental and campground hasn't seen as much use as it does in normal years.
At River Run Canoe Rental in Brownfield, Parker said many of her campsites have been flooded, and recent rains have made the Saco River too dangerous for canoe rentals.
"It's been very hectic because I've had to cancel campgrounds and I've had to move campers from one camp to another because of the flooding," Parker said. "I think this is the worst summer since '85 that I can remember."
Parker said with the cancellations she's had to make and the lack of people coming amid the flooding, she's lost out on around $25,000 of her tourism income. Despite losing money, she is determined to keep patrons safe from the river.
"It's an easy decision because I'm not putting anyone in the river I feel won't be safe, there's just no question about it," Parker said.
Meanwhile, there has been a slim percentage of canoe rental companies offering people to go in the river. In Fryeburg, 11 people were rescued out of the Saco River during the third week of July. Multiple agencies including Conway and New Hampshire's Swiftwater Rescue Team responded.
The Fryeburg Police Department told NEWS CENTER Maine it is charging the rental company that gave the 11 people canoes thousands of dollars for the rescue.
The rescues have also continued to pile up on the Saco, with eight people rescued over Monday and Tuesday morning in Brownfield.
Maine State Game Wardens launched an airboat Tuesday afternoon to warn people about the dangers of the river, and make sure people had proper safety equipment on board.
"Make sure people are taking it seriously, assessing hazards," Sergeant Kyle Hladik said.
Sergeant Hladik said common dangers under flood conditions are submerged trees that may only be inches below the surface and could trap or tip people over.
"Take time to put some thought and planning into your trip," Sergeant Hladik said.
Other canoe rental companies, like Saco Bound in Conway, keep tabs on the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS offers updated statistics on watersheds throughout the country, including in Maine and New Hampshire, where the Saco River flows.
"We make the call every morning of what the youngest age customer will be for the day," Kyle Day, the general manager for Saco Bound, said.
Day said while this week is easier on the New Hampshire portion of the Saco River than last week, they are still closely monitoring the situation.
"This is for the public, we always recommend all of our customers look at this... everyone can be safe on the water and take the right precautions."

PLYMOUTH, Maine — A Winterport man was seriously injured Tuesday afternoon when his vehicle was struck by a tractor-trailer while using a crossover on Interstate 95 in Plymouth.
At approximately 2:45 p.m., troopers responded to a crash located on I-95 southbound in Plymouth at mile marker 161, according to a news release from the Maine Department of Public Safety.

"Johnson was extricated by Newport and Plymouth Fire and Rescue and transported to Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield," according to the release.
The crash remains under investigation.
