DALLAS (KDAF) — Another Ozone Action Day is active in parts of North Texas on Monday, including the Dallas-Forth Worth area; NWS Fort Worth says reduced wind speeds will result in elevated ozone levels. The weather center says, “Low-level ozone develops when pollutants are exposed to sunlight. With sufficient wind speeds, this ozone can be dispersed.” It adds that this has been the case for most of the summer in North Texas, however, as the wind speeds will be low, ozone concentrations will be high on Monday. “Ozone levels steadily rise during the day and peak during the late afternoon and evening. Without sunlight, ozone no longer develops, and a separate chemical reaction reduces the ozone concentrations over the course of the night.” What you need to know to reduce exposure Air Central Texas says, “On Ozone Action Days, it is important to take precautions’ to limit exposure, especially if you are sensitive to ozone pollution.” - reduce the amount of time that you spend outside - when you are outside try not to exert yourself - make sure that your A/C filter is properly maintained Sensitive groups include: - Children and teenagers - Older adults - Adults with respiratory or cardaiovascular illneess - Outdoor workers	https://cw33.com/news/local/what-to-know-about-ozone-action-day-for-north-texas-weather-on-monday/	2022-07-11T15:55:24	0	https://cw33.com/news/local/what-to-know-about-ozone-action-day-for-north-texas-weather-on-monday/
GREENWOOD, Ind. — Johnson County deputies are investigating a deadly crash Monday morning in Greenwood. According to Johnson County Sheriff Duane Burgess, a box truck was stopped to make a delivery for Home Depot in the 3000 block of Olive Branch Road, near State Road 135, shortly after 9 a.m. Burgess told 13News three people were at the back of the box truck when another truck rear-ended the parked truck. Burgess said one person with the box truck died at the scene, while the other two were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The driver who hit the box truck told deputies the sun was in his eyes, causing him not to see the parked truck. Burgess said the driver of the truck was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Moving the contents of a 75,000-square-foot furniture store is, well, no easy task. “To put it in perspective, I tell people, ‘Imagine moving 30 2,500-square-foot homes at the same time, and that’s basically the equivalent of what we had to do,” said LaDIFF founder Andy Thornton of the relocation of the contemporary home furnishings retailer from Shockoe Bottom across the river to Manchester. “It was …” As Thornton searched for the just the right word to describe the experience, his wife and business partner, Sarah Paxton, had one ready. “Arduous,” she said. “Probably the hardest four-to-seven months either of us has ever gone through,” said Thornton, “but we did it.” The move itself is complete – “after many, many, many truckloads crossing the river,” Paxton said – but the move-in phase is still in progress. LaDIFF was closed for about six weeks before opening for business in the new space on June 22, though it was an opening so soft, Paxton joked, it was “squishy,” as they unpacked and set up in their new home. People are also reading… “We’re welcoming customers, and we’re delighted to show people around, give them a sneak peek of what’s out so far and just ask for their patience,” said Paxton, LaDIFF’s president. The new location is quite a shift for LaDIFF, which had been in the three-story, 19th-century building at 14th and Dock streets for 24 years. The new place is a 40-year-old building that once housed State Electric Supply, is less than one-third the size of the old building, but comes with five acres, plenty of parking and no streets for pedestrians to cross. It also has a “a phenomenal view” of the downtown skyline, Paxton said. “It is just a different feel,” she said. “The word that some of the customers have used … is that this store feels a bit more ‘intimate.’ It has been completely renovated to have more of a LaDIFF vibe. Instead of concrete floors, it’s fully carpeted. We’re trying to aim to be a retail store/design studio, and it’s cozy.” The move is just another in the evolutionary steps that have been hallmarks of LaDIFF’s history. Since Thornton opened LaDIFF in Charlottesville in 1980 – back then it was LaDifference; the name was officially changed in 2014 to what many people called it anyway – the retailer has gone through a metamorphosis: from a small shop selling Haitian handcrafts to a full home store with kitchen equipment and bath towels, then the 1992 move to Richmond and a shift more into the furniture business, first to Tobacco Row, then to 14th Street. Its physical spaces have ranged from ultra-modern to century-old architecture, its locations suburban and urban. “Each time that we move, it gives us a chance to showcase a new side of us and reinvent a little bit,” said Paxton, who started working at the store in 1991 and became a partner the same year. She and Thornton married in 1995. Thornton, who is now officially retired, had been wanting to retire for a few years, while Paxton wanted the store continue. They both wanted to reduce the scale of LaDIFF, and the result is a smaller showroom, which means an “edited mix of furniture,” according to the LaDIFF website, but also “few sacrifices in availability.” Paxton said LaDIFF will lean on its online resources to serve as an “enticement” for customers, not as a substitute for in-person visits. “We’re trying to use technology as much as we can, but I’m still a firm believer in not buying a mattress until you’ve actually laid on it first and not buying a chair until you sit in it,” she said. Thornton said he senses a “swing back to brick-and-mortar” experience for some shoppers after a pandemic-inspired emphasis on E-commerce, which, by design, is not what LaDIFF is. “It wouldn’t make much difference if we were selling used tires or gidgets or widgets or gaskets or furniture,” Thornton said they were endeavoring to be an online operation. “It would just be coming in in the morning and looking at the numbers. That’s what this whole thing has ever been about to either one of us. It’s about human interaction and design and making people happy and having that actual one-on-one.” Remaining in the city was “an absolute must,” Thornton said. The new location is still convenient for customers coming from all over the state via Interstates 64 and 95 and only about a 1.5 miles from the old place – or, as Thornton says, “With green lights, it’s 4 minutes; with red lights, it’s 5 minutes” – and it’s a “little bit down the Commerce corridor” from some of the other booming Manchester development. “We’re betting to a large extent that it’s all going to come this way,” he said. “It’s one of the few directions the city can grow, and it’s primed for it.” Paxton and Thornton envision future development on the new property: a currently unused structure could become a restaurant, and there’s enough space for a residential component elsewhere. For now, though, they’re just looking to get LaDIFF settled into its new home.	https://richmond.com/business/local/ladiff-makes-a-big-move-across-the-river-to-manchester/article_ee4be545-2d6d-58b9-a132-34c73da903bb.html	2022-07-11T16:04:44	0	https://richmond.com/business/local/ladiff-makes-a-big-move-across-the-river-to-manchester/article_ee4be545-2d6d-58b9-a132-34c73da903bb.html
One of the region’s largest property managers has merged its operations with two other companies in the industry. Three divisions of Virginia-based Dodson Property Management have joined forces with Evernest, a national property manager based out of Birmingham, Ala. The merger includes divisions overseeing single-family properties, small multi-family apartment buildings, and association management of homes and condominiums. Dodson is active in Virginia and Florida. In addition, Dodson merged its multi-family business — which oversees larger apartment buildings, typically with an on-site property manager — with Orlando-based Atrium Management Company. Terms of the deals were not disclosed. “We have a vision for our own company’s growth, and felt scale was necessary to build the best leadership team in the industry and to provide our residents and clients with all of the resources possible to ensure that they have a quality experience,” Duke Dodson, President and CEO of Dodson Companies, said in a statement. He said the mergers would allow Dodson, Evernest, and Atrium to share resources and create efficiencies “to best serve our owners and residents.” All employees and offices remaining in place, according to the companies.

In a joint agreement signed by both the prosecution and defense, Richmond Circuit Judge Claire Cardwell revoked a $15,000 bond that had been granted to Julio Alvarado-Dubon on July 5. Monday’s hearing was scheduled after Richmond prosecutors appealed the bond granted by Richmond General District Court Judge David Hicks. In response to a question from the Circuit Judge Cardwell, defense attorney Jose Aponte confirmed that U.S immigration authorities last week placed federal detainers on both suspects. Immigration Customs and Enforcement said both men are from Guatemala and were illegally residing in the U.S. In a separate hearing Monday in Richmond General District Court-Manchester, the second defendant, Rolman Balcarcel Ac, was briefly arraigned via video from Richmond Jail. It was his first appearance in a Richmond courtroom since he was arrested in Albemarle County. His next hearing date was set for Aug. 8. Both men are charged with possession of a firearm as a non-citizen. A “concerned citizen” who tipped Richmond police off about a mass shooting planned on Monday at Dogwood Dell told investigators that one of the suspects showed him two rifles, a red dot sight and a “longer higher caliber gun” with a kickstand on June 21, according to a court affidavit filed Thursday.	https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/bond-revoked-for-man-accused-in-richmond-mass-shooting-plot/article_cddd9f67-3c6e-5ff1-842e-75773a43755d.html	2022-07-11T16:04:56	1	https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/bond-revoked-for-man-accused-in-richmond-mass-shooting-plot/article_cddd9f67-3c6e-5ff1-842e-75773a43755d.html

Watch out for orange signs around Casper starting this week. Two road projects will affect traffic in the area starting on Tuesday, the Wyoming Department of Transportation said in a release Friday. Wyoming Boulevard repaving The first, a repaving project on Wyoming Boulevard between Poplar Street and Casper Mountain Road, is expected to last just two days — Tuesday and Wednesday. There will be one lane of traffic open in each direction during the project, and the speed limit is set to be reduced to 30 mph. You won’t be able to turn into the Rocky Mountain Car Wash or the Blue Ridge Coffee shopping center from Wyoming Boulevard during the construction. For a detour, take Poplar north to Yesness Court, turn left and then head south on Tranquility Way. Salt Creek bridge replacement Crews are set to begin replacing the deck of the Salt Creek Highway bridge over Casper Creek on July 18. People are also reading… The project will completely close a small section of the highway starting at the Yellowstone Highway intersection for 112 days, or roughly six months, according to WYDOT. The bridge crosses the creek in Mills, near Pepper Tank and Excal and just south of the railroad tracks. A detour via the U.S. Highway 20/26 Shoshoni bypass will allow drivers to access Salt Creek Highway north of the construction. “The project is part of a multi-year effort to rehabilitate bridges around the state,” WYDOT said in Friday’s statement.	https://trib.com/news/local/casper/wyoming-boulevard-salt-creek-highway-to-see-construction-this-month/article_9a634580-fedb-11ec-8d71-dfa3b5cc126b.html	2022-07-11T16:13:27	1	https://trib.com/news/local/casper/wyoming-boulevard-salt-creek-highway-to-see-construction-this-month/article_9a634580-fedb-11ec-8d71-dfa3b5cc126b.html

Janet Drake's quilt is composed of cyanotypes or sun prints made as part of a community art project at the Hearst Center for the Arts. She will display the quilt at next Sunday's Artisans in the Garden & Summer Expo at the Hearst. CEDAR FALLS — The Hearst Sculpture Garden will be blooming with artists Sunday for Artisans in the Garden and Summer Expo. This will be the third “art al fresco” event and expo in the garden. Hours are 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Admission is free. “We will showcase local artisans who will display and sell their work. We love to do things outdoors, and this is another way to invite the public to see the sculptures and enjoy the garden,” said Sheri Huber-Otting, Hearst programs coordinator. A community art project in the form of a quilt will be a special feature at the expo. Quilt artist Janet Drake designed and created the quilt from cyanotypes or sun prints made at the Hearst Center’s Biological Diversity Celebration in May. “People used foliage, leaves and other items for the designs. The items were placed on 8- by 8-inch fabric squares that were coated with an emulsion. The squares were weighted down and left in the sun for a few hours to create the prints,” Huber-Otting explained. Painting, ceramics, glass, jewelry, fiber arts, mixed media and graphics are among categories to be represented. Exhibitors will include Art By Ann, Blue Lily Glass Art, Caylin Jade, ceramist Claire Elise, Janna Bowman’s Green Earth Glass, Iowa Authentic, Jewels by Jenny, Keepsake Quilters, Northeast Iowa Weavers & Spinners Guild, Rachel Stumme Art, and Matejka Farms and Farmers Daughter. Prairie Rose Middle Eastern Dance Troupe will perform at 2 p.m. Scoopski’s Ice Cream will be available for purchase. While the focus will be on the gallery of artists, the Hearst garden itself is a hidden gem. Visitors can appreciate nature in summer’s full flush of bloom and stroll through shade gardens, as well. There’s also the garden of steel and stone — a collection of public art sculptures in stainless steel, bronze, aluminum and concrete created by local, regional and national artists. Artisans in the Garden took place in 2019 and 2021, but was canceled in 2020 because of COVID.

Three people died in a violent crash on the Garden State Parkway that sent one vehicle into a guardrail and then off the road, where it flipped over and smashed into a tree, authorities say. New Jersey State Police troopers responding to a report of a two-vehicle crash on the highway in Monmouth County's Aberdeen Township, near milepost 119.7, around 7:15 p.m. Sunday, found a Nissan Sentra overturned in the grass. The Sentra had been traveling south in the parkway's local lanes when it and a Nissan Maxima, also traveling south in the local lanes, side-swiped each other, state troopers said. It didn't appear there were any serious injuries to the Maxima driver. State Police said two passengers in the Sentra and the driver of the vehicle died of injuries suffered in the crash. No details on their identities were available. Officials say their investigation is ongoing.	https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/garden-state-parkway-car-accident-crash-death/3768928/	2022-07-11T16:50:51	0	https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/garden-state-parkway-car-accident-crash-death/3768928/

HOUSTON — Protesters and counter-protesters showed up in downtown Houston on Sunday, each group on opposite sides of the aisle over an issue that has recently been in the headlines: drag shows. Despite the extreme heat, the groups showed up at Hamburger Mary's on Prairie Street to make their stances known. Temperatures and tension were running high as they lined the streets near the restaurant that advertised a Sunday drag brunch on its website. There was a heavy police presence and about 150 people showed up. Protect Texas Kids was among the groups protesting. Each side consisted of several groups that weren't necessarily together, but on Sunday decided to stand on the same side of the issue. Tracy Shannon, with Mass Resistance Texas, was there in opposition to the themed brunch. “We know that we don’t need a drag queen as an example to children or to show children what inclusion looks like. We do not market certain things to children," Shannon said. Others voiced support for inclusion. “Freedom ... freedom of expression, freedom to be who you are. Freedom to not be intimidated by anybody,” another attendee said. KHOU 11 political expert Bob Stein said the social issue has turned political. “Parents can take their children wherever they want. They have privacy over their behavior with it in some broad guideline," Stein said. “Very much like the politics of abortion, of guns, or even something as simple as wearing a mask ... it does mobilize people in serious political debate.” Stein said it’s possible legislation could emerge that’s similar to other age-restricted laws -- like buying alcohol or tobacco. “That kind of regulation is subject to the public’s support and it’s conceivable that we will ban children under the age of -- pick an age 21, 18 -- from going to these drag shows,” Stein said. According to Stein, the bigger picture is the social issue itself. “The lifestyles that we’re talking about are not going away. They’re becoming more mainstream," he said. Someone from inside the restaurant said there was no organized protest for or against the event. They said it was done online. Police officers ended up stepping in a few times when things got heated.	https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/drag-brunch-downtown-houston-hamburger-marys-protesters-counter-protesters/285-b82bd8db-c10f-400b-93a7-f5a208b866f6	2022-07-11T16:51:40	0	https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/drag-brunch-downtown-houston-hamburger-marys-protesters-counter-protesters/285-b82bd8db-c10f-400b-93a7-f5a208b866f6

LAPORTE — A 52-year-old Gary man is behind bars and faces 18 counts of felony incest stemming from allegations of repeatedly sexually abusing a younger female relative, a newly-filed court document says. The female, who is now 27, accuses Emerson J. Limbrick Jr. of abusing her starting when she was in middle school and continuing until she was 19, Michigan City police said. "She said in order to do anything she wanted to do she had to submit to sexual abuse by (Limbrick)," the court document reads. The woman said she finally decided to reveal the years of abuse out of concern for her sister, who is 11 and having difficulties that could be a sign of her own abuse. Journals provided by the woman detailing the dates of the abuse in coded form, read in part, "No you dnt knw how bad I hate him 4 wat does to me. And if this rapest bastered ever touch my sister his life will end and I really don't care if I go to jail." Limbrick was arrested in Gary Friday by members of the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Michigan City Police Department Fugitive Apprehension Street Team, according to GLRFTF member Nicolas Gonzalez. He is being held on a $20,000 cash bond, LaPorte County jail records show. The woman reportedly told investigators that during her first year of middle school, Limbrick began kissing, touching and hugging her "in a different manner than he had prior." She said further that he would tell her that family members can marry. The woman said she was homeschooled during her eighth and ninth grade years, during which time the sexual abuse began, according to a charging document. She described Limbrick as an alcoholic who beat her unconscious and was still striking her when she regained awareness, police said. The woman said Limbrick would require her to take part in sexual acts with him to avoid beatings and to gain permission to take part in social activities such as visiting friends, police said. She said the abuse continued until she began dating at the age of 19. The charges list the abuse as occurring from February 2010 through November 2010.

PORTAGE — After over five years of training at Dream Big Gymnastics in Portage, 9-year-old Jasmin Ward placed in the top three at the National Gymnastics Association (NGA) National Championship in June. Jasmin, a Gary resident, competed with her teammates from Dream Big Gymnastics in eight competitions total this past season, giving herself the opportunity to qualify for the national championship that was held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The level two gymnast competes in floor exercise, vault, beam and bars. “My favorite event to compete in is floor exercise because I like tumbling,” Jasmin said while eating a cup of watermelon after an early morning practice. Jasmin had placed 13th overall during the state tournament after missing an extra jump from her routine that would have given her a higher score. Jasmin’s father, James C. Ward III, said that leading up to the regional competition, she informed him that she wanted to come in first place. People are also reading… “I never have been nervous, ... but when she told me that I thought, ‘Oh my goodness,’ because she had never said she wanted to come in first before,” James said. “I didn’t want her to be disappointed, so I told Jade (Jasmin’s younger sister) whatever she places, we’re going to be happy for her.” James enrolled Jasmin and Jade at Dream Big Gymnastics when Jasmin was 4 years old to keep them occupied. James said Jasmin now has a balance beam at their house and practices in the gym for around three hours, three to four times per week. “I gave Jasmine two rules with gymnastics: One, have fun, and two, smile,” James said while Jade held his hand. “As long as she’s having fun and enjoying it, we’ll continue to do what we have to, to make sure she gets to the next level.” Jasmin, who admires Olympic gymnasts Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles, turned her dreams into reality by placing first overall at the regional championship held in Indianapolis in May. During this competition, she broke a personal record by scoring a 9.725/10 on the beam. “Going into regionals, I felt more confident with my routines,” Jasmin, who wore a red and blue ombre leotard, said. “The state meet was a big meet, and I knew if I could do that, I could do regionals.” Leading up to nationals, Jasmin gave herself the objective to place in the top three of the competition. Jasmin again achieved her goal and placed third overall, receiving a personal best score of 9.4/10 on vault. “She’s done amazing and gotten a lot stronger,” Erin Gross, head coach and team director at Dream Big Gymnastics, said. “She works really hard, and every meet she’s gone to she’s pushed herself harder.” Jasmin said her next goal is to receive a perfect score for one of her events during the upcoming season where she will be competing as a level three gymnast. “It’s so exciting to see her make her dreams come true,” James said. “I told her, ‘If you ever doubt yourself again, remember you were 9 years old when you placed first in the regional championship and third in nationals. ... You can make all things happen if you put your mind to it.’”	https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/porter/portage/9-year-old-turns-dreams-into-reality-at-national-gymnastics-association-championship/article_1e9f9637-b280-5a78-b32a-065c5baf0d7e.html	2022-07-11T16:53:53	1	https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/porter/portage/9-year-old-turns-dreams-into-reality-at-national-gymnastics-association-championship/article_1e9f9637-b280-5a78-b32a-065c5baf0d7e.html

BANGOR, Maine — Part of Harlow Street in downtown Bangor was shut down for most of the day on Saturday for the return of the city's Sidewalk Art Festival. The event, hosted by Downtown Bangor Partnership, is back after a two year hiatus due to the pandemic. More than 40 vendors filled the streets and sidewalks with their artwork. Artists brought paintings, handmade creations like jewelry and clothing, photography, and printed goods to put on display. Live performances also took place throughout the day. Some of the musical performances included Bangor Symphony Orchestra, Maine Academy of Modern Music, Firefly the Hybrid, and LVLGHTS. Ten Bucks Theatre also performed scenes from Romeo and Juliet in the afternoon. This year's event included more programs for kids to participate in. There was an instrument petting zoo, kids yoga, rock painting, face painting, and a chance for kids to learn how to bead. Betsy Lundy is the executive director of Downtown Bangor Partnership. "We wanted to do something that would highlight the arts and culture environment that exists here by creating the Sidewalk Art Festival. So even a lot of the artists that you see walking around, they are artists who have studios in Bangor and they're in the upper stories of buildings and this gives them an opportunity to come down on the street and interact with people," Lundy said. Downtown Bangor Partnership also has a "First Fridays" event on the first Friday of every month where local restaurants and shops offer special deals and discounts as a way to draw people to the city.	https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/bangor/bangor-sidewalk-art-festival-returns-after-two-year-hiatus/97-e2e75ed3-3abb-4827-bfaf-880b0f74e093	2022-07-11T17:12:15	0	https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/bangor/bangor-sidewalk-art-festival-returns-after-two-year-hiatus/97-e2e75ed3-3abb-4827-bfaf-880b0f74e093

COLLIN COUNTY, Texas — Brandy Bottone was 34 weeks along when she alone took the high occupancy vehicle lane, or HOV lane, on Central Expressway in Dallas County. She felt it was right to think the child she's carrying is a passenger in a lane designed for vehicles with two or more passengers. When pulled over by a Texas DPS officer on June 29 at 8:15 a.m. she was asked who else was in the car. "I was like, 'Uh, this!,'" pointing to her belly. "I was like, 'Right here, here she is.' He just looked at me, 'How do I answer this?'" Brandy recalled. Bottone of Plano tells WFAA that in the moment she wasn't trying to take a stand but only trying to fight a ticket. For context Roe v. Wade had just been overturned several days before, and Texas has an impending ban on abortions. "One law is saying that this is a baby and now he's telling me this baby that's jabbing my ribs is not a baby. Why can't it all make sense?" she posed rhetorically. The officer wasn't buying her explanation, and she was handed a $275 ticket for an HOV violation. "'Ma'am, it's two people outside of the body,' which is a weird way of wording it," she recalled the officer telling her at the time. The Texas Department of Transportation's online description of the HOV rule isn't entirely clear. It reads simply, "A vehicle occupied by two or more people." Even the officer admitted she could fight the ticket and hundreds, even thousands, of people on social media feel that, too. "Just the outpour of support from women all over the world... all sorts of emotions. I'm trying to keep my blood pressure down, let's not go into labor yet," Brandy laughed. The mother of three is taking a neutral stance politically. In the last several days, she's heard from both sides of the abortion debate. But, what she will say is, "If there's a pro-women category, that's my stance." Now at 36 weeks along, Bottone has hired an attorney and has a court date in late July to fight her ticket. That is, if her daughter doesn't come first.	https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/pregnant-plano-texas-woman-fighting-hov-lane-violation/287-7e71edf3-6a92-43b2-824d-f566897d963f	2022-07-11T17:15:43	0	https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/pregnant-plano-texas-woman-fighting-hov-lane-violation/287-7e71edf3-6a92-43b2-824d-f566897d963f

ORLANDO, Fla. – A new number arrives this week that is meant to be a 911 for behavioral health crises. The nationwide 988 hotline goes active July 16. [TRENDING: Florida park temporarily closes due to ‘aggressive alligator’ \| Florida man tries to flee deputies on a riding lawn mower \| Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] When people call the number for help with suicide prevention or a mental health or substance abuse crisis, they’ll reach trained call-takers who can refer callers to behavioral health providers, or send a mobile response to help de-escalate the crisis and provide further services. The lifeline will also utilize a system to provide translation services for people who don’t speak English or Spanish. People who need help can also text 988, or chat via the Lifeline website. Texting or chat services are currently only available in English. “This is the first time anything like this has been attempted and it’s long overdue,” said Marni Stahlman, president of the Mental Health Association of Central Florida. While the country has had a national suicide prevention hotline for years, this is a simpler number that’s easier to remember and meant as more of a behavioral health care hotline, Stahlman said. The hope is also to provide some relief to 911 and law enforcement agencies when dealing with behavioral health crises. The Florida Mental Health Advocacy Coalition says about 20% of current 911 calls are behavioral health and suicide calls, so 988 would take those calls on. The hotline, however, is supposed to connect callers to local lifeline call centers based on their zip code. While some states have provided dedicated funding for their call centers, Florida did not. “Florida has 12 lifeline centers and they’re all understaffed and underfunded, and the expectation is they are all going to see increased volume when (988) goes into effect,” Stahlman said. Backup national centers will also be available to take phone calls and refer callers, so no call will go unanswered. Stahlman says state mental health groups have been spending the last year getting ready, and she’s also hoping the lack of an effective media campaign will also prevent a surge of calls to the new number and give them time to work out the kinks. “Our agencies are ready to take the calls. The thing is it’s so new, we don’t know how it will work out. There will be bumps, but we’ll get to it,” Stahlman said. The most important thing, Stahlman said, is to call 988 if you need to. “Don’t hesitate, make the call, for you or a family member,” Stahlman said. If you have more questions about 988, you can go to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline website. If you need help now, you can also call or text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – An Osceola County man was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for producing and possessing child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida. Judge Carlos E. Mendoza sentenced 63-year-old Michael Belmares, of St. Cloud, after evidence showed he took lewd pictures of multiple children in shopping center parking lots across the county as well as had thousands of pictures of children being sexually abused as far back as 1996. [TRENDING: Florida park temporarily closes due to ‘aggressive alligator’ \| Florida man tries to flee deputies on a riding lawn mower \| Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] Belmares pleaded guilty on March 15 and was sentenced to 25 years in prison and a subsequent 10-year term of supervised release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. He also must register as a sex offender following his time in prison. The investigation was led by the FBI and the St. Cloud Police Department and was brought to light as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide effort spearheaded by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

NEW SMYNA BEACH, Fla. – A record-breaking 1,106 sea turtles nests have been deposited on Volusia County beaches, and nearly half of them are in New Smyrna Beach, according to county officials. This record comes two months into nesting season and after fluctuating numbers since 2019. About 500 sea turtle nests are laid on the county’s beaches in a typical year between May 1 and Oct. 1, according to a news release. [TRENDING: Florida park temporarily closes due to ‘aggressive alligator’ \| Florida man tries to flee deputies on a riding lawn mower \| Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] There were 780 nests in 2021, a drop from 2020 and 2019. County officials said that there are similar trends on other nesting beaches in Florida. Volusia County staff and volunteers who mark and monitor nests also ask the public for help in ensuring the turtles’ safe passage to the ocean. The hatchlings’ journey to the ocean can be faced with problems such as trash, holes left by beachgoers and disorienting lights from beachfront homes, according to the release. “We ask beachgoers to make sure the beach is dark, clean and flat at night so hatchlings can find their way offshore to the floating sargassum seaweed where they will spend the first portion of their lives,” Jennifer Winters, Volusia County’s protected species manager, said in the release. Many of the young turtles will be washed back to shore when summer storms send seaweed toward the beaches. This will make a busy washback season as the young turtles blend in with the seaweed, making them difficult to spot. Winters said in the news release that beachgoers should contact Beach Safety instead of trying to put the turtles back in the ocean. “These animals are often exhausted and can barely lift their heads to breathe. Holding them in water or putting them in the ocean can be fatal,” Winters said. Beach Safety can be called at 386-239-6414, or the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office can be called between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. at 386-248-1777.	https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/07/11/sea-turtle-nests-break-record-as-volusia-county-preps-for-washback-season/	2022-07-11T17:26:44	0	https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/07/11/sea-turtle-nests-break-record-as-volusia-county-preps-for-washback-season/

MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — It couldn’t rain on organizers’ Sunflower Festival Saturday as craft vendors and food trucks lined Main Street for the 18th year in a row. The event celebrates summertime and all the natural beauty that comes with it. Sunflowers used to grow in nearby fields, and event coordinator Renee Proffitt said that although they no longer do, the Sunflower Festival kept its name within the town and neighboring communities. “One time we had sunflower fields, but we do not have any now,” she said. “We just remain the name because sunflowers make you happy, so it’s just a good thing we kept the name, and everyone knows it as the Sunflower Festival.” More than 250 vendors participated in the event, which also featured a sunflower pageant and live music.	https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/rain-didnt-stop-18th-annual-sunflower-festival-in-mountain-city/	2022-07-11T17:38:55	1	https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/rain-didnt-stop-18th-annual-sunflower-festival-in-mountain-city/

SAN JUAN, Wash. — Orca organizations had been losing hope about the future of a family of Southern Resident Killer Whales knowns as the K Pod. However, on Saturday, the Center for Whale Research shared photos of the newest member of the pod. It's the first calf born into the K Pod since 2011. Video shared by the Orca Behavior Institute shows mom and baby off the shores of the San Juan Islands along the Haro Strait on Saturday. The Center for Whale Research said the two were also spotted on the west side of Vancouver Island. "It's always a rush of excitement when we see a brand new baby in this endangered population.," said Monika Wieland Shields with the Orca Behavior Institute. Shields caught a glimpse of the calf Saturday night. "I knew even from a distance when I saw that tiny whale pop up that it was going to be the newest calf and it was super exciting to see it next to K20 who's the presumed mother," said Shields. For the first time this summer, members from all three orca pods local to Puget Sound were spotted together in the Haro Strait, but K20 and the new calf, named K45, stood out. It's believe this is K20's first calf in 18 years. "We hope that this is a sign that K Pod is turning a corner and that they're able to get enough to eat to successfully reproduce and raise offspring," said Shields. "We'd kind of given up. I mean, tentatively, you never give up, but not really sure if K20 would have another calf because it's been so long," said Howard Garrett, the Co-founder of the Orca Network. K20 is 36 years old. Garrett said K20 was believed to be a male until she had her first calf in 2004. Garrett hopes the newborn is a female, however, the sex of the newborn is still unknown. "The frosting on the cake was at that calf looks good," said Garrett. "Where an Orca is white, this calf is white and when they're newborn, they're very orangey...when they get that, that nice white tone, that's a good sign that they're developing well" It's estimated the young calf is only a few months old. It's future is still up in the air and the next several months will be crucial for survival. From a distance, researchers will be keeping a close watch. "We're looking for energy levels. We're looking to see if that little calf begins to explore a little bit," said Garrett, "Of course, mom will keep very close tabs and call baby back if there's any need, but just to see if there's, you know, a lot of spark in that little calf."	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/orca-calf-spotted-off-san-juan-islands/281-6ff60881-040d-4355-9471-00709f505330	2022-07-11T17:43:37	0	https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/orca-calf-spotted-off-san-juan-islands/281-6ff60881-040d-4355-9471-00709f505330
