LUTZ, Fla. — A local Army veteran and his family were handed the keys to a brand-new home, mortgage-free, thanks to the Gary Sinise Foundation. Sinise, you might remember, famously played Lieutenant Dan in the movie "Forrest Gump." His foundation works toward building homes for real-life wounded warriors and their families. It was a heart-warming moment for former Army Chief Warrant Officer Romy Camargo, his wife, Gaby, and their two children. The family received the keys to a brand-new house in Lutz, which was custom built with a design and technology to allow Camargo to live a more independent life. “Just the space that I can go through. I don’t have to worry about getting yelled at for scratching the door, or scratching the walls or anything,” Camargo said. “You know, I can go ahead and do 360s in almost every part of this house. That’s what I wanted and what I dreamed of.” “Oh my God, beyond expectations, honestly,” Gaby said. “They did an amazing job. We’re so grateful that I don’t think saying thank you is enough.” Camargo became paralyzed when he was shot in the spine during a humanitarian mission 14 years ago. The Gary Sinise Foundation selected Camargo, not just in tribute for the sacrifices made in combat, but for his ongoing service to help other wounded warriors. The couple operates the Stay in Step Spinal Cord Injury Recovery Center in Tampa. Sinise also surprised the Camargo’s with a $25,000 donation to their organization. He thanked them in a personalized video message. “Romy and Gaby —I’m thrilled that you’re finally here today about to begin this brand-new chapter in your life,” he said. “I look forward to a time in the future when I can come visit. Take a little tour of your home and personally thank you for all you’ve sacrificed on behalf of this nation.” The house is enormous. It’s packed with high-end appliances and materials. There’s a beautiful lakefront view and smart technology that gives Romy the independence he works to bring others facing similar challenges. “This is a testament to what they do and how they do it,” Camargo said. “And to make — you know, our reality — to make it our reality.” This is the 79th home dedicated by the Gary Sinise Foundation, but they have around eight to 10 wounded warriors and first responders accepted into the program each year. Their efforts allow them to live up to their motto: “While we can never do enough, we can always do a little more.”

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol troopers are investigating a deadly crash involving a motorcyclist on southbound U.S. Highway 19. Law enforcement responded just after 1:30 p.m. Wednesday on the highway just north of Alderman Road, according to an agency spokesperson. Troopers say a car heading north turned into the path of the motorcyclist, a 26-year-old man from Palm Harbor, at Colonial Boulevard. The motorcyclist then crashed into the right side of the car, the crash report reads. The three outside lanes on U.S. 19 are closed to traffic while the inside lane remains open. Drivers in the area are said to expect delays or find an alternate route in the area.

Murdered Grand Blanc teen 'was not lured to Detroit,' police say Detroit — Police authorities said Wednesday they do not believe an 18-year-old Grand Blanc teen whose body was found in a Detroit basement early Monday was lured to the city as his mother feared. On Saturday, Jacob Hill was with his family before he decided to come to the city, Detroit Police Cmdr. Michael McGinnis said during a Wednesday press update. Police continue to investigate Hill's death, which was ruled a homicide. "There has been some discussion about him being lured to the city. Our investigation does not support that information. The information we're working with indicates he willingly came to the city and encountered someone that decided to take his life," McGinnis said. On Sunday, Hill's vehicle was found and a missing person's report was filed in Dearborn Heights. On Monday, his body was discovered by police in the basement of a home in the 2200 block of West Warren with gunshot wounds. Hills' mother, Sadie Hills told The Detroit News Tuesday that her son recently connected with an acquaintance, a 17-year-old boy from Oxford. "He made a real bad choice to hang out with somebody he thought was a friend," she said. Police are interviewing a person of interest in the presence of an attorney and are searching for an associate of Hill's who was with him prior to the event, McGinnis said. "At this time, there are no suspects for us to release but as we learn more information, we will share that with you," he said. Prior to the Friday party, Hills bought an AR-15 from ACME Shooting Goods in Oxford in preparation for boot camp with the National Guard, Sadie Hills said. The next day Hills spent time with his father before going to a shooting range with the gun, she said. After the shooting range, he picked up the 17-year-old and went into Detroit, Sadie Hills said. Hills had the Life360 app on his phone, which his mom said allowed her and his father to track his phone to his unlocked car in the parking lot of the Blue Moon Hookah Lounge in Dearborn Heights on Sunday. After not hearing from their son and finding his abandoned phone and car, they called police. Hills' gun was not found with the body or in the car, Sadie Hills said. "I have a child that's a little bit older than 18, and I can't imagine them possessing such a high-powered firearm," McGinnis said. "The choices that were made, I can't speak to that. It's all part of the investigation." 'We have to put a stop to this' McGinnis spent the majority of the 15-minute Wednesday update speaking on two other gun violence incidents that occurred Tuesday afternoon and early Wednesday. A triple shooting occurred in the 300 block of Riverplace early Wednesday and left one dead and two injured. An investigation determined one of the victims acted in self defense, fatally shooting another, McGinnis said. "The two non-fatal victims were together and they were approached by the assailant who was armed, elected to use a long gun to fire shots at the victims for an unprovoked reason," he said. "We interviewed the mom. She's devastated, and we know the deceased suffered from mental illness and we believe that had a significant factor in the circumstances." Tuesday afternoon, a 13-year-old was fatally shot on Homer Street. One juvenile shot another juvenile over what's alleged to have stemmed from a stolen cell phone. Four suspects, including the assailant, are in police custody. Three are minors and one is 18 years old, McGinnis said. "Juveniles are in possession of guns. We have to put a stop to this," he said. "We anticipate charges will stem for one or more individuals that we have detained." Detroit police were on scene of another fatal shooting Wednesday afternoon on Pickford Street and Evergreen Road. No further information was available. "The rash of violence in our community is extremely concerning, and I know our citizens are concerned. Many Detroit families are devastated. Law enforcement are held to a high standard but also know we can't be everywhere, all the time," McGinnis said. Too often, McGinnis said, they're seeing juveniles in possession of firearms committing the violent acts. "We need the community's help. We need the parents' help in making sure they do not have access to firearms," he said, adding the police appreciate the efforts of Ceasefire, a partnership between community members and law enforcement that's focused on deterring gun violence. "But it's not enough." srahal@detroitnews.com Twitter: @SarahRahal_ Staff Writer Hannah Mackay contributed.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – In an effort to promote tourism and involvement in the city, Lynchburg has introduced a new way for residents and tourists to learn more about the area. The City of Lynchburg’s Office of Economic Development & Tourism said they have installed seven new digital kiosks to offer information to residents, visitors, businesses, and students. The seven digital kiosks will feature information, trail maps, QR codes for guides, and upcoming events and festivals, the release said, and the kiosks will be located at the Precival’s Island Trail entrance, Lynchburg Community Market, Old City Cemetery, Kemper Street Amtrak Station, University of Lynchburg, Randolph College and Lynchburg General Hospital. The kiosks were partially funded by the 2020 CARES Act, which was for projects that are meant to assist with economic recovery and tourism promotion from the coronavirus pandemic, according to the release. Anna Bentson, Assistant Director of the City of Lynchburg Office of Economic Development & Tourism, said that the kiosks are a result of partnerships between organizations in the area, and explained the potential impact the installation could have on the community. “In an effort to reach more people and drive traffic to the wonderful businesses, events, and attractions in our city, we partnered with our anchor institutions like Centra and our local colleges and universities to install digital kiosks in strategic locations to reach our residents, visitors, businesses and students,” said Bentson. “These kiosks will serve to engage users of these frequently trafficked sites and further promote all of the things happening in the City of Lynchburg.” You can find more information about the City of Lynchburg on their website.

DANVILLE, Va. – Pittsylvania County-Danville officials are taking more action in response to the rabid fox incident that happened in Danville. On Sunday, 10 News reported that Pittsylvania-Danville Health District said at least two individuals were bitten by a fox that tested positive for rabies on July 21. And on Wednesday afternoon, area officials advised the public near the Walmart on Mount Cross Road to keep their cats contained within their property as they try to gather feral cats that they say could have had contact with the rabid fox. The release said that the move to gather the feral cats is a public health precaution and that local animal control officers are working with the Danville Police Department to place traps where feral cats have been spotted over the next three weeks. Because of the trapping period, officials said that domesticated cats in the area that are not contained may find the traps, which will result in them being transported to an animal shelter. If a cat goes missing, the release said that owners are encouraged to call the Danville Aerea Humane Society at (434)799-5306. The Pittsylvania-Danville Health District said they encourage pet owners to get their pets vaccinated, not only to protect them, but to also protect family members, loved ones, and the community from rabies, and Virginia law requires domestic animals to be vaccinated against rabies, according to the release. To learn more about the disease, visit the Virginia Department of Health website.

DoorDash to provide free at-home grocery delivery to qualifying Indy households Correction: A previous version of the article incorrectly spelled the last name of Merlin Gonzales. The city of Indianapolis will partner with DoorDash and nonprofit organization Faith, Hope, and Love to provide free at-home delivery of food and other household items to qualifying families, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett announced during a press conference Wednesday at Cross Church. The partnership, named Project DASH, aims to deliver these items provided by local pantries to Marion County families that are unable to access food, Hogsett said. "This resource will be especially important for those who are home-bound, for those who lack transportation or who are otherwise unable to access nutritious, healthy food options, " he said. "This collaboration can bring relief literally to your doorstep." More:Mayor Hogsett launches food insecurity initiative for Marion County To qualify for this free delivery service, households need to be located within a 10-mile radius of the pick-up site, which is the distance at which DoorDash covers delivery fees. As of now, Cross Church and the Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center are the sole pick-up locations. Households can sign up to receive free deliveries by contacting Faith, Hope, and Love or by getting referred through another pantry. Merlin Gonzales, president of Faith, Hope, and Love, said it's important that other food pantries get involved in Project DASH so that they can expand the program and food access. "We would like to multiply this because we would like to reach the different sectors or sections of Indianapolis, of Marion County, because our goal is to deliver 1,000 boxes or packages of food a week by the end of 2022," Gonzales said. The Office of Public Health and Safety's Division of Community Nutrition and Food Policy donated more than $100,000 to Faith, Hope, and Love, which trains and supports faith-based food pantries, to support this project and others. This money came from funds delegated to the city through the American Rescue Plan. More:Op/Ed: Eradicating hunger, food insecurity in Indiana requires bipartisan effort According to a 2021 survey conducted by the Indy Hunger Network, 9.8% of Indiana households were food insecure. The number is twice as high for African American households. Reports like these are why the city wanted to support this organization and start Project DASH, Hogsett said. "The city of Indianapolis believes that access to healthy and to affordable food cannot be a luxury in our city," Hogsett said. "It is a right that we all have reason to expect." Following the press conference, DoorDashers lined up outside of Cross Church. The first driver was Ariel Coppess, 25, who said this was her first DoorDash trip of the day. "Now I'm a part of something in the community, I guess," she said while smiling. Contact IndyStar reporter Madison Smalstig at MSmalstig@gannett.com or 765-7172758.

Popular Noblesville restaurant closing as Pleasant Run road rebuilding project takes shape A popular restaurant in downtown Noblesville is closing after nearly 25 years to make room for road rebuilding on Pleasant Street. El Camino Real, 797 S. 10th St., announced on its Facebook page that July 31 would be its last day open. The owners said in the post they were “heartbroken” to shutter “our place of work and second home for many of us for almost 25 years.” The business has long known it was in the path of the $113 million Reimagine Pleasant Street project, which will reconstruct the roadway from State Road 37 to over the White River. More:Where road construction, closures are happening in Indianapolis in July The city spent $10 million to buy 80 pieces of the property on the first leg of the project to clear the way for the road. Among other businesses in the path are the Dairy Queen at 798 S. 10th St. and Firehouse Pizza, 807 S. 10th St. Another downtown business recently closed, but not because of the road project. Barley Island Brewery shut its doors on July 23. El Camino Real has another location in Fishers at 11681 Brooks School Road.

Food and music at festival It’s time for one final Taste of Wisconsin, today through Saturday at Celebration Place in Kenosha. It’s not all about food, even though there will be close to 30 food vendors spread out on the festival grounds. You think that’s a lot? How about "food" for the ears and soul, too? The festival has that covered, too, with about 80 bands on four stages. Oh, and there is no admission charge. Live music at the free festival runs from 3 to 10 p.m. today and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. There is something for most tastes in music.

People are also reading… Skerryvore at McAuliffe's Pub First off, happy birthday, big fella. For JJ McAuliffe, a birthday celebration involves many friends, including the Scottish band Skerryvore at JJ’s venue McAuliffe’s Pub in Racine. This will be the first date in the band’s U.S. tour. While the band performs mainly rock music (not Scotch on the rocks), they have incorporated pop, jazz, Cajun and country influences as well. Skerryvore is consistently a top draw in the U.S. and Europe and is known for great live performances, having won Scotland’s Best Live Act multiple times. Tickets for the show in an intimate environment are only $22 and are available at eventbrite.co.uk/e/skerryvore-jjs-birthday-bash-tickets-379999076467. Skerryvore performs at 9 p.m. (Doors at 8 p.m.) Friday, July 29, at McAuliffe’s Pub, 3700 Meachem Road in Racine. Symphony in the park You want different? How about a symphony orchestra's collaboration with a rock band? That’s what you get Saturday at Petrifying Springs Park. "Symphony in the Garten" is a mash-up of local pop and rock bands Betsy Ade and the Well-Known Strangers and Spare Animals along with the Kenosha Symphony Orchestra. According to the Well-Known Strangers’ management, it’s been “a bucket list item for the band to perform with an orchestra.” Spare Animals will open the show followed by a one-hour set by the Kenosha Symphony Orchestra and ending with a 12-song set with the Well-Known Strangers and the orchestra. The band wrote the scores for the collaboration. The Kenosha Symphony Orchestra, Betsy Ade and the Well-Known Strangers and Spare Animals all perform starting at 4 p.m. and running to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, July 30, at Petrifying Springs Park, 5555 Seventh St. in Somers. There will be a large stage set up just north of the park's Biergarten for this free show. Punk rock at George's Tavern Michael Gibson and the staff of George’s Tavern in Racine have been knocking out great concerts regularly. All sorts of styles are welcome at the venue that helped give The Violent Femmes their start. The Saturday night show this weekend will be hard rocking punk with three bands performing. The Rustix, Anti-Everything and Warplot will entertain the crowd, and donations for Planned Parenthood will be collected. All of that in three hours. Milwaukee band The Rustix play "street punk" music; Kenosha’s Anti-Everything calls itself "obnoxious shortbus thrash punk"; Warplot is a Keno-Core band. (What's that, you say? Look it up.) The Rustix, Anti-Everything and Warplot perform 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday, July 30, at George’s Tavern, 1201 N. Main St. in Racine. Friday night concert What’s more all American than a Friday fish fry? How about a Friday fish fry along with a top-shelf Americana band performing an early evening show in the Biergarten at Union Park Tavern? I am talking the Rocky Rose Trio here. I was confused by that "trio" part and reached out. I’m guessing the band is concerned about noise levels when playing an outdoor concert and are going without a drummer. But no; it turns out the band's drummer, Steve Comeau, will be there on percussion. Rocky Rose Trio performs 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 29, in Union Park Tavern’s Biergarten, 4520 Eighth Ave. in Kenosha. That’s it for this week.

RUSTON, Wash. — Days after receiving backlash for directing the Tacoma Farmers Market to stop selling "Mexican style" food, Point Ruston said in a statement Wednesday that it's reversing the decision. "We are pleased to have worked with Taco Street to reach an agreement that will allow for El Guero and Burrito Boy to set up shop at future Sunday Markets at Point Ruston," Point Ruston said in a statement posted to Facebook Wednesday morning. "We will always strive to support the small businesses that earn their living as full time brick and mortar shops within the Point Ruston neighborhood and are excited to be able to support the pop-up shops at the Sunday Market. We look forward to continuing to celebrate all cultures and communities at the waterfront." The controversy began when Tacoma Farmers Market announced Saturday a directive from the Point Ruston Owners Association to stop selling what they described as “any Mexican style food” at their Sunday market. As a result, two vendors selling Mexican food were removed. RELATED: Point Ruston under fire after directing Tacoma Farmers Market to stop selling 'Mexican style food' The announcement came despite the Tacoma Farmers Market being a completely separate entity from the Point Ruston Owners Association. Point Ruston's initial statement said the organization had an exclusivity clause with the contracts of their brick-and-mortar vendors in regards to Mexican cuisine. The announcement caused an uproar on social media, with many declaring that they will not visit until the issue is resolved. When Amelia Escobedo of the Leagues of United Latin American Citizens PNW got wind of the announcement, the message was clear. “To me, that says, ‘No Mexicans Allowed,'” she said. “That means no Brown people allowed. That means you’re not welcome here.” >> Download KING 5's Roku and Amazon Fire apps to watch live newscasts and video on demand None of the restaurants on Point Ruston’s website serve that style of cuisine exclusively. In fact, the only restaurant that does is Taco Street, located at the Waterfront Market in Ruston, which is its own entity. “It’s completely separate from Point Ruston,” said Paul Kunitsa, general manager of Waterfront Market at Ruston. “The Farmers Market happens in that Breezeway. So it’s obviously pretty far from us. We don’t even have an access point to get there right now.” Kunitsa said news of the announcement caught him by surprise and he hopes his vendors aren’t impacted by the controversy. “It’s frustrating,” Kunitsa said. “We mind our business, take care of our market, build up our vendors, and focus on us, so all this stuff just came out of the blue.” Civil rights attorney Molly Matter said Monday that enforcing a clause like this would be nearly impossible because it amounts to discrimination on race and national origin, which is illegal. “You can’t say I’m only serving white people, or I’m not serving this particular racial ethnicity. This is what we’re talking about, it’s completely illegal,” Matter said. “I’m not a contract lawyer, but I can’t imagine that this would hold up in court. I can’t imagine a judge would look at this and not see the pretext for racial discrimination.”

TACOMA, Wash — Authorities have arrested a Tacoma man for murder in connection to a woman's death in a shooting over the weekend. The Tacoma Police Department said a 42-year-old woman was shot on July 23 just before 9 p.m. Officers found the woman in the driver's seat of a car along the 8800 block of South Hosmer Street, but she was pronounced dead by emergency crews. Detectives found the suspect's vehicle on July 25 just after 2:45 p.m. Officers tried to stop the car in the area of South 56th Street and Tacoma Mall Boulevard, but the suspect fled and struck the bumper of a vehicle stopped at a light at South 56th and South Alaska Street. Police said the suspect continued driving to the northbound Interstate 5 onramp before the car was disabled. The 20-year-old man driving the car was taken into custody, police said. Officials booked the suspect into the Pierce County Jail for charges, including felony eluding, hit-and-run and other charges not related to the shooting. Detectives later added a first-degree murder charge for the woman's death on July 23. Tacoma Police Chief Avery Moore announced his plan to reduce crime in front of the City Council on July 12. As of July 3, there were at least 24 homicides in Tacoma. That was more than a 118% increase compared to the same time last year. The chief first outlined his plan three months ago. The first phase will focus on extra patrols in city "hot spots." The second will focus on violent offenders through local and state partnerships. The third phase encourages community engagement.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — People in nearly every county in Alabama should go back to wearing masks indoors again due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases statewide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend. On the CDC’s COVID Data Tracker, all but 17 Alabama counties are listed as having a high COVID-19 transmission rate. The tracker has three different levels: low, medium and high. With the high distinction, the CDC recommends that people wear masks while inside, get tested when symptoms present themselves and staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccine information. The following Alabama counties are designated at low or medium designation: - Lauderdale County - Colbert County - Franklin County - Winston County - Lamar County - Pickens County - Tuscaloosa County - Greene County - Hale County - Butler County - Macon County - Lee County - Elmore County - Tallapoosa County - Coosa County - Clay County - Talladega County Alabama’s statewide mask mandate expired last May. As of Wednesday, there have been nearly 11,000 positive COVID-19 cases collected statewide in the last week, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health. There have been 494,860 COVID cases reported in Alabama so far in 2022 with over 3,000 deaths attributed to it.

COVID-19 weekly update: Cases increase by 17,249 as 30% of weekly tests return positive Arizona continues to see significant COVID-19 spread because of highly contagious subvariants, and a greater portion of tests returned positive last week than seen since January, according to the state's weekly update. On Wednesday, health officials added 17,249 new COVID-19 cases and 70 new known deaths over the weeklong period ending July 23. June and July have seen relatively similar weekly case additions, with the past couple weeks being slightly higher. Case counts are still far below the winter, state data shows. Case numbers in recent months likely are not showing the full picture of infections as many more people have used at-home test kits and may not report positive results to county health departments. Arizona, like other states, is seeing an ongoing case increase largely driven by two contagious subvariants of the virus, BA.4 and BA.5, with BA.5 the more dominant of the two. It's also likely contributing to reinfections given its contagiousness and ability to evade antibodies. Residents in 10 of Arizona’s 15 counties, including Maricopa County, should be wearing face masks indoors in public because of COVID-19 levels, according to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of July 21. The CDC’s “community level” guidance is updated weekly and ranks counties as low, medium and high, or green, yellow and orange. The Arizona counties designated as “high,” where masks are recommended, are Maricopa, Pinal, Apache, Coconino, Gila, La Paz, Mohave, Navajo, Yavapai and Yuma. Greenlee, Santa Cruz, Pima, Graham and Cochise were “medium,” and no counties were “low” as of July 21. The metrics are based on a county’s COVID-19 hospital bed use, COVID-19 hospital admissions and case rates for the virus over the past week. Reported cases since the pandemic began are at about 2.2 million. Known deaths in Arizona are nearing 30,800. Wednesday marked the 22nd of the weekly updates to the state's data dashboard, instead of daily updates that Arizonans became accustomed to following for the latest data on infections, illnesses and deaths. The previous week's update added 18,135 cases and 66 deaths, compared with 15,280 cases and 60 deaths, 20,198 cases (high because old cases were added) and 57 deaths, 16,514 cases and 63 deaths, 15,373 cases and 52 deaths, 16,334 cases and 28 deaths, 14,677 cases and 40 deaths, 13,042 cases and 33 deaths, 11,498 cases and 40 deaths, 7,204 cases and 29 deaths, 5,490 cases and 41 deaths, 3,911 cases and 238 deaths, 2,350 cases and 99 deaths, 2,377 cases and 29 deaths (low because of a processing error), 2,777 cases and 142 deaths, 6,840 cases and 413 deaths, 10,143 cases (high because of a reporting catch-up) and 385 deaths, 4,566 cases and 336 deaths, 5,153 cases and 457 deaths, 6,549 cases and 382 deaths and 9,647 cases and 449 deaths the 20 weeks prior. This week's update shows the differences between data reported for the week of July 17-23 and July 10-16. Health officials say weekly updates match how public health monitors trends and other disease reporting. Case numbers generally were relatively lower in the past couple of months, and public health experts estimate cases of the highly contagious omicron variant peaked in Arizona around mid-January. The state data dashboard no longer shows key hospitalization information since Gov. Doug Ducey ended the COVID-19 emergency declaration on March 30. State health officials said hospitals are no longer required to report some COVID-19 surveillance data to the state, meaning certain graphs showing weekly hospitalization levels for the disease and bed usage by COVID-19 patients are no longer updated. At the time that data reporting stopped, hospitalizations for the disease had dropped steadily since late January. The CDC still reports state hospitalization data for Arizona and showed no change in the seven-day average of COVID-19 hospital admissions during July 18-24 compared with July 11-17. Hospital admissions last week were down 78.9% from the peak seven-day average in early January 2021. Reviewed:Why you need an air purifier during a heat wave The number of known deaths in the state was at 30,768 as of Wednesday, after passing 30,000 known deaths in the May 4 update, 29,000 deaths in the March 30 update, 28,000 deaths in the March 9 update, 27,000 deaths on Feb. 10 and 26,000 deaths on Jan. 28. The state surpassed 25,000 deaths on Jan. 13. Deaths are now reported with a four-week lag. Arizona's overall pandemic death rate since early 2020 is the third-highest nationwide. State data on breakthrough infections The state in December began publicly disclosing data on breakthrough COVID-19 infections, and state officials say the data underscores the effectiveness of the vaccine — especially for people with booster doses. Data from May show that 25.6% of cases, 24.9% of hospitalizations and 19.2% of COVID-19 deaths were among fully vaccinated people without a booster, with much of the rest among unvaccinated people. Fully vaccinated people with a booster made up 36.4% of reported cases, 31.5% of hospitalizations and 26% of deaths in May. The COVID-19 virus' disproportionate impact on older adults, who are also more likely to have a booster dose, could help explain why a higher percentage of people who were fully vaccinated and boosted died of COVID-19 in April than those who were fully vaccinated and not boosted. The effectiveness of boosters also appears to wane after several months. But the precise explanation for those percentages of deaths is unclear. Looking at the proportions of deaths by vaccination status does not tell the risk, though. State health officials recommend considering the rates of death among boosted individuals versus unvaccinated individuals, which show significantly lower death rates in vaccinated and boosted individuals compared with unvaccinated individuals. Health officials emphasize the best protection against severe illness from COVID-19 is to remain up to date with recommended vaccinations, including second booster doses for those 50 and older and people who are immunocompromised. Should travelers worry about monkeypox? Here's what experts are saying Unvaccinated people 12 and older in Arizona had a 1.8 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19, 8 times greater risk of hospitalization from COVID-19 and 21 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19 in May compared with fully vaccinated people with a booster, according to a state analysis. Unvaccinated people had a 3.4 times greater risk of testing positive, 6.6 times greater risk of hospitalization and 15 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19 compared with individuals who were fully vaccinated without a booster. As of July 13, there had been 2,057 breakthrough deaths in fully vaccinated individuals, according to state health officials’ preliminary data, which works out to a breakthrough death rate of about 0.04% among fully vaccinated people. Case rates and death reports Contagious omicron subvariants, particularly BA.5, are contributing to many of the cases in Arizona, according to results from sequencing labs. Percent positivity, which refers to the percentage of COVID-19 diagnostic tests that are positive, varies somewhat based on how it's measured. It was high in the winter months, a sign of more community spread. Then it was much lower but has been climbing upward since April. For most of December, Arizona's percent positivity for COVID-19 testing was at 11%-13%, before rising to 22% for the week of Dec. 26, 29% for the week of Jan. 2, 32% for the week of Jan. 9, 34% for the week of Jan. 16, 29% for the week of Jan. 23, 22% for the week of Jan. 30, 16% for the week of Feb. 6, 11% for the week of Feb. 13, 7% for the week of Feb. 20, 4% for the week of Feb. 27, 3% for the week of March 6, 3% for the week of March 13, 3% for the week of March 20, 3% for the week of March 27, 3% for the week of April 3, 4% for the week of April 10, 5% for the week of April 17, 6% for the week of April 24, 8% for the week of May 1, 11% for the week of May 8, 15% for the week of May 15, 18% for the week of May 22, 21% for the week of May 29, 22% for the week of June 5, 23% for the week of June 12, 27% for the week of June 19, 26% for the week of June 26, 28% for the week of July 3, 29% for the week of July 10 and 30% for the week of July 17. The percentages are now for all diagnostic tests conducted, rather than for unique individuals tested, following a change to the state dashboard. A positivity rate of 5% or less is considered a good benchmark that the disease's spread is under control. The state's overall COVID-19 death and case rates since Jan. 21, 2020, still remain among the worst in the country. The COVID-19 death rate in Arizona since the pandemic began is 421 deaths per 100,000 people as of Tuesday, according to the CDC, putting it third in the country in a state ranking that separates New York City from New York state. The U.S. average is 308 deaths per 100,000 people as of Tuesday, according to the CDC. New York City has the highest death rate, at 488 deaths per 100,000 people, followed by Mississippi at 423. Arizona's first known death from the disease occurred in mid-March 2020. Many of the reported deaths occurred days or weeks before because of reporting delays and death certificate matching. A total of 2,196,429 COVID-19 cases were identified across the state through July 23. Vaccination update Arizonans ages 6 months and older are eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, while the Moderna vaccine is approved for children ages 6 months to 5 years and people 18 and older. The CDC has recommended the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on a more limited basis for people 18 and older. Many individuals are eligible for booster doses, too. The state reported over 5.2 million people in Arizona — about 73.2% of the total state population — had received at least one vaccine dose through July 23, with about 4.5 million residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The state’s data dashboard now separates out doses administered to Arizona residents versus all doses administered in the state. Arizona's rate of fully vaccinated people out of the total population was 62.6%, which was behind the national rate of 67.2%, according to the CDC as of July 20. Out of people ages 5 and older, 66.6% of those in Arizona were fully vaccinated, compared with 71.4% at the national level, CDC data shows. Health experts strongly recommend booster shots for those eligible, especially with the omicron variant spreading. About 47.4% of fully vaccinated Arizonans over the age of 18 had received a first booster shot as of July 20, below the national rate of 51.4% for that same age group. What to know about latest numbers Reported cases in Arizona: 2,196,429, as of July 23. Cases by county: 1,383,592 in Maricopa; 279,033 in Pima; 142,228 in Pinal; 65,768 in Yuma; 61,998 in Mohave; 52,857 in Yavapai; 48,160 in Coconino; 42,174 in Navajo; 34,557 in Cochise; 29,107 in Apache; 18,603 in Gila; 17,720 in Santa Cruz; 12,672 in Graham; 5,586 in La Paz; and 2,347 in Greenlee, according to state numbers. The rate of cases per 100,000 people since the pandemic began is highest in Apache County, followed by Navajo, Gila, Santa Cruz, Graham and Coconino counties, according to state data. The rate in Apache County is 40,534 cases per 100,000 people. By comparison, the U.S. average rate since the pandemic began is 27,220 cases per 100,000 people as of Tuesday, according to the CDC. The Navajo Nation reported 60,339 cases and 1,854 confirmed deaths as of Tuesday. The Navajo Nation includes parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. The Arizona Department of Corrections reported 15,234 inmates had tested positive for COVID-19 as of Tuesday, including 2,471 in Tucson, 2,278 in Eyman, 2,240 in Yuma, 1,784 in Lewis and 1,458 in Phoenix; 57,382 inmates statewide have been tested. A total of 5,414 prison staff members have self-reported testing positive, the department said. Sixty-two incarcerated people in Arizona are confirmed to have died of COVID-19, with 16 additional deaths under investigation. The race/ethnicity breakdown of cases since the start of the pandemic in 2020 is 40% white, 29% Hispanic or Latino, 5% American Indian, 4% Black and 2% Asian/Pacific Islander. Race/ethnicity of positive cases since the onset of the pandemic is unknown in 14% of cases and listed as other race in 6% of cases. Of those who have tested positive in Arizona since the start of the pandemic, about 21% were younger than 20, 42% were 20-44, 13% were 45-54, 11% were 55-64 and 12% were age 65 or older. Laboratories had completed 20,298,342 total diagnostic tests for COVID-19 as of July 23, 12.5% of which have come back positive. That number includes both PCR and antigen testing. Percent positivity was at 30% for the week of July 17, the highest it's been since January. The state numbers leave out data from labs that do not report electronically. The state Health Department includes probable cases as anyone with a positive antigen test, another type of test to determine infection. Antigen tests (not related to antibody tests) use a nasal swab or another fluid sample to test for current infection. Results are typically produced within 15 minutes. A positive antigen test result is considered very accurate, but there's an increased chance of false-negative results, Mayo Clinic officials said. They say a doctor may recommend a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test to confirm a negative antigen test result. Arizona as of Tuesday had the 14th highest overall case rate in the country since Jan. 21, 2020. Ahead of Arizona in cases per 100,000 people since the pandemic began are Alaska, Rhode Island, North Dakota, Kentucky, Guam, New York City, Tennessee, Florida, Utah, South Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Delaware, according to the CDC. Arizona's infection rate is 29,939 cases per 100,000 people, according to the CDC. The national average is 27,220 cases per 100,000 people, although the rates in states hard hit early in the pandemic may be an undercount because of a lack of available testing in March and April 2020. Reported deaths in Arizona: 30,768 Deaths by county: 17,616 in Maricopa; 3,924 in Pima; 1,693 in Pinal; 1,500 in Mohave; 1,249 in Yavapai; 1,191 in Yuma; 918 in Navajo; 619 in Apache; 583 in Cochise; 485 in Coconino; 390 in Gila; 234 in Santa Cruz; 180 in Graham; 147 in La Paz; and 39 in Greenlee. People age 65 and older make up 21,899 of the 30,768 deaths, or 71%. About 16% of deaths were among people 55-64 years old, 8% were 45-54 and 5% were 20-44 years old. While race/ethnicity was unknown for 4% of deaths, 56% of those who died were white, 26% were Hispanic or Latino, 7% were Native American, 3% were Black and 1% were Asian/Pacific Islander, the state data shows. The global death toll as of Wednesday was 6,391,491. The U.S. had the highest death count of any country in the world, at 1,028,139, followed by Brazil at 677,494 and India at 526,167, according to Johns Hopkins University. Arizona's 30,768 deaths represent about 3% of COVID-19 deaths in the United States. Republic reporter Stephanie Innes contributed to this article.

Flagstaff mayor declares state of emergency, shelter-in-place order issued for flood areas As flash flooding continued throughout much of northern Arizona, Flagstaff mayor Paul Deasy officially declared a state of emergency Wednesday in connection with post-wildfire flooding around the Pipeline Fire burn area. At around the same time, the City of Flagstaff first issued shelter-in-place orders for neighborhoods in the Museum Fire flood area with flash flooding expected as rains continue throughout the day. The neighborhoods impacted in the order include Mt. Elden Estates, Paradise, Grandview and Sunnyside. Deasy posted an update on Twitter from Grandview Drive and Linda Vista Drive culvert shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday. Shortly after mayor Deasy's update, the shelter-in-place order was extended to include the Cheshire, Coconino Estates, Creighton Estates, Coyote Springs, Anasazi Ridge and U.S. Route 180 on the west side of town. The Schultz Creek watershed nearby overflowed a little before 2 p.m., closing U.S. 180 in both directions until further notice. With a state of emergency declaration, Flagstaff can now receive additional resources for disaster response including funding assistance for costs associated with damage, recovery and restoration after flood events. Extensive flood mitigation efforts have continued over the past two weeks throughout the community with more than 5 miles of concrete barriers and around 420,000 sandbags distributed, according to Coconino County Flood Control District administrator Lucinda Andreani. With storms still to come, Andreani is hoping to fill around 1 million sandbags total, she said Tuesday. More to come.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) – Several streets in the west Lynn Garden community of Kingsport will receive a paving preservation treatment through the end of August. Holbrook Asphalt Co. will spray a high-density mineral bonding agent onto the asphalt which will have great benefits in the long run, according to project superintendent Ryan Jones. “Two benefits are number one beautification, it’ll make the roads night look nice and new. The other one, more importantly, is the preservation of the asphalt. It helps seal in the oils and that litter inside the asphalt to preserve it. So it has a longer life expectancy,” Jones said. The city’s public works department yearns for that longer life expectancy. “We’re having to do a lot of complete re-pavement because so many streets are in bad shape,” said Public Works Director Michael Thompson. “Oxidative damage” from moisture and UV rays are two of the biggest issues pavement in a community experiences, both the city and company officials explained. Limiting this damage is an effective pavement management strategy to preserve our infrastructure. Thompson said he is anxious to see the outcome of the project. “This particular treatment is a new treatment to us that we’ve not done before. So we’re going to be looking at this one very closely to decide if that’s what we’re going to do to streets going forward or use a different method because there’s a vast array of things you can do,” Thompson said. He said the city would try to set residents’ minds at ease should they have any questions. “You got to this 12-hour window that we’ve got to have you off the street. But at the same time, it’s going to be, you know, we get done with that and you’re done. It’s so it is an impact, but it’s if you’ll bear with us, it’s a short time and then you’ll be in good shape for years,” Thompson said. Flyers were distributed to residents of Allgood Lane, Allgood Drive, Harrison Ave, Paris Ave and any others impacted by the project. “We section off just sections of the road so we don’t have just one long section so the people are inconvenienced and have to walk a long distance to get outside of the project,” Jones said. “Cars on the road are a problem for us because we have to get them moved so if the residents would pay attention to those notices that we hand out, we’ll try to make it as smooth and seamless as we can for them.” Local community locations have volunteered to be shuttle coordination points, Holbrook Asphalt Co. representatives said and the company will be responsible for shuttling residents to and from their vehicles. Residents in need of the shuttle service are asked to call the company 30 minutes before they would require the service, and the contact information was provided to residents on the flyers that were distributed. The city hopes to implement this treatment on all roadways if the preservation agent is successful.

(WJHL) — Several area Boys and Girls Clubs will share a $100,000 grant from the Taco Bell Foundation. The funds aim to establish college prep sessions, campus tours, workforce readiness programs, tutoring and other programs geared toward supporting the youth of the Tri-Cities. Clubs that will receive parts of the grant include locations in Kingsport, Johnson City, Elizabethton, Greeneville and Mountain Empire. Tacala Companies, which operates over 325 Taco Bells across the South and Southeast, announced the grant is part of an effort to give young learners the tools necessary to achieve their goals. “It’s a privilege to partner with the Taco Bell Foundation in educating and inspiring young people nationwide,” said Marjorie Perlman, Chief Marketing Officer of Tacala Companies. “Together, we are working to break down barriers to education for future leaders.” The donations do not stop with these Boys and Girls Club locations, however. A news release on Wednesday revealed they make up five out of more than 400 youth-serving organizations that will receive a grant, which stems from $7-million community grants presented by the Taco Bell Foundation this year. “We are proud that the work we do through our Community Grants program connects young people with the resources and opportunities they need to learn and drive change,” said Jennifer Bradbury, Executive Director of the Taco Bell Foundation. Since 1992, the Taco Bell Foundation has awarded more than $130 million in grants and scholarships, reaching 5 million young people in the process. Taco Bell and the Taco Bell Foundation launched the Live Más Scholarship in 2015. In May 2022, the Taco Bell Foundation awarded $8 million in scholarships to 772 students.

BLOOMINGTON — Irish eyes will be smiling Saturday. Pull up a chair and have a listen to Turas. That’s a five-piece traditional Irish music band that takes its name from the Gaelic word for “journey.” In the past, players of the Peoria-based group had joined up for Irish music sessions at Lucca Grill in Bloomington, according to their guitarist and vocalist AnneMarie Brinton. But they would eventually meet all together at Donnelly’s Irish Pub in Peoria, when sessions were still held there. Next up for Turas is a free show Saturday at Normal’s Connie Link Amphitheatre, just off the Constitution Trail. It’ll be a whale of time. Songs of Gaelic origin exhilarate the heart and soul like no other. Turas delivers fantastic flurries of woodwind melodies, and an ample arrangement of strings that includes a mandolin and an Irish adaption of the Greek bouzouki — a long-necked lute. They published their first music video in 2020 with WGLT’s Stay at Home Concert Series. “Cold Frosty Morning / John Riley” tells the tale of Seán Ó Raghailligh, a vagabond who deserted the Union Army during the Mexican-American War. It’s a tune that captures the essence of the Irish-American immigrant experience and their struggles within. Then in 2016, Peoria’s WTVT hosted Turas for its State & Water video music series, when their lineup included a bassist and a guitarist who have since left the band. Turas took on the technically challenging yet toe-tapping “Jig of Slurs” in a lively set of tunes. They were followed by a moving rendition of “Foggy Dew,” a beautifully-sung ballad lamenting the 1916 Easter Rising and British involvement in World War I. Turas is answering the call to their Celtic roots. And, the beat of their Irish bodhràn is sure to lift your spirits up and away with the fairies. BloNo Beats invited Turas to answer several questions about their experience playing Irish music. Brinton responded with the following answers: Give me a very brief history of your band. Where do your members come from, and how did you meet each other? Early on, we participated in sessions at (Lucca's Grill) and what was then known as the “Slow Session” at the Whistle Shop in Bloomington. However, we all met at the Peoria music session while it was still being hosted at Donnelly’s restaurant. Mike Bergstrom (bouzouki, guitar), Lauri Gannon (penny whistle, bodhràn, accordion) and Rose Fahey Wright (flute, penny whistle, vocals) have been part of Turas since its inception in 2008. AnneMarie Brinton (vocals, guitar) joined the band shortly after moving to Peoria in 2010, and Jeff Calhoun (banjo, mandolin, vocals, guitar) joined in 2012 and still commutes in from the Quad Cities. Over the years, we’ve been fortunate enough to play all around Illinois as well as a few of our neighboring states. We are a Peoria-based band with quite a few connections to Bloomington-Normal. We have played many places in the area, including the Bloomington Country Club, Miller Park, Connie Link Amphitheatre, Crawford’s Pub and the uptown Normal music fest, Make Music Normal. How have you researched and built your repertoire of songs? Much of what goes into building a catalog of music is taking traditional tunes and making them your own. We accomplish this in several ways. First we pair tunes together into unique sets. We are very fortunate to have several multi-instrumentalists in the band, so we can choose from a variety of different instrumental combinations; we can switch around melody and harmony players not only from tune to tune, but within the tunes. Then we can start adding dynamics, ornamentations and rhythmic variations to really make them our own. When we’re playing shows, we like to make sure we’re playing a variety of different kinds of tunes as well. We’ll go from a jig to a reel and then maybe a polka or a waltz. We’ll even throw in a slip jig or a hornpipe periodically. Each style of tune falls on the ear differently, so we’re able to mix things up quite a bit. Are there any songs in particular you really love to play, or have a cool backstory to them? At the start of the pandemic, we were invited to participate in the WGLT Stay at Home Concert Series with Ariel Jones. It was our first time recording a music video, which was a lot of fun. We collaborated with some incredible videographers, Troy Phillips and Mike Dwyer from LMV Productions, and recorded with our good friend Bob Lindsay. With their expertise, we were able to bring the story of the music to life in a whole new way. So if you’re ever on our website or Facebook page, be sure to check out “Cold Frosty Morning / John Riley.” Tell me about the instruments your band brings on stage. There’s an interesting history behind how instruments are incorporated into the Irish music tradition. For example, keyless wooden flutes, like the one Rose plays, lost popularity in other countries once keyed silver flutes were introduced. The wooden flutes then flooded the secondhand markets, and Irish musicians capitalized on the opportunity. The bouzouki, which Mike plays, is a Greek instrument. The Irish flattened the back on it to make them easier to transport. The four-stringed tenor banjo, which Jeff plays, is based on the banjo brought to the U.S. by enslaved Africans... It was first produced in Chicago at the turn of the century. It was then brought back to Ireland by returning immigrants. However, the banjo wasn’t truly considered part of the Irish tradition until the mid-20th century, making it a newer instrument for Irish music. All in all, we have members who play flute, whistle, accordion, bodhràn (the Irish hand drum) guitar, bouzouki, banjo, mandolin and vocals. What do you love most about playing traditional Irish music? For many of us, playing Irish music is a way to connect with our roots and honoring where our families originated. For others, it was the love of American folk and bluegrass music (both stem from traditional Irish music after it was brought to the U.S. and specifically Appalachia) that eventually led to a love of Irish music. But for all of us to some degree, playing Irish music feels almost like a calling. It is a tradition that we enjoy and believe in and feel is worth spreading and keeping alive.

BUDA, Texas — The Hays County Sheriff's Office says that first responders are working to put out a grass fire in Buda. The fire is estimated at around 50 acres. The fire was reported on FM 967 near Coves of Cimarron in Buda. That's in northwest Buda off of 1626. A KVUE crew on the scene reports that multiple fire trucks and law enforcement officers from Buda, Kyle and the sheriff's office are at the scene. Helicopters are also there assisting in the response. The HCSO is asking drivers to avoid the area until further notice. Hays County officials originally stated that evacuation orders were issued out of an abundance of caution and reverse 911 calls are being made, however, they later clarified that they were incorrect in stating so. A temporary shelter has been set up at Hays Hills Baptist Church at 1401 N. FM 2626 in Buda. Pets are allowed but officials ask that cats be held in carriers and that dogs remain on leashes at all times. Meanwhile, fire crews are also fighting an 11-acre fire near Hornsby Bend on Wednesday afternoon. STAR Flight was on the scene assisting by conducting water drops at the scene at 13404 FM 969, behind Sunbelt Rentals. That fire is threatening some structures and a small number of evacuations were ordered, according to Travis County ESD 12.

A man has been charged with four felony counts of arson for allegedly going to two car lots in Fort Wayne and setting vehicles on fire. The alleged arsons were apparently because of a grudge that Dewey R. Fredrick, 79, has held since 1986 when he bought a Jeep from the O’Daniel dealerships and also committed acts of vandalism then, according to the probable cause affidavit. Fredrick allegedly told police he’d bought a Jeep with a bad motor from O’Daniel, and the business refused to make it right. So shortly after that, he went to one of its lots and put Loctite, superglue and other accelerants in the door locks of vehicles. The recent arsons happened on July 17. Surveillance cameras first caught Fredrick driving his 2002 white four-door Chevrolet S10 pickup to the O’Daniel lot in Fort Wayne, according to court documents. The video shows him putting a lit road flare into the gas tank of a 2019 Jeep Compass. The resulting blaze ignited a 2013 GMC Acadia and a 2020 Jeep Cherokee Limited next to it. Fredrick then allegedly drove to the O’Daniel Mazda dealership where he used a knife to cut an opening in the roof of a 2008 Pontiac Solstice Base Convertible. He then threw an ignited flare into the hole.

FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) - The two largest unions representing Flint municipal employees reached their first labor contracts with the city in over a decade. AFSCME Local 1600 and 1799 agreed to contracts with the city and Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley signed them on Wednesday. "I’m proud to be able to support hardworking women and men, prioritizing their needs so they can focus on the needs of our community," he said. A state-appointed emergency manager in charge of Flint's day-to-day operations imposed the last contracts, which remained in effect until June of 2016. City workers have waited since then to begin bargaining for a new labor contract. AFSCME Local 1600 President Sam Muma said the previous imposed contract "shattered us" and cost workers a lot. He praised the new contract as "very fair." AFSCME Local 1799 President Don Lewis said his members also are "excited" to move forward with a new contract.

AUSTIN, Texas — KVUE News on Wednesday confirmed that after reports of recent incidents involving luggage at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), the airport will be working to update its baggage handling system. What is a baggage handling system, you may ask? This is the part of the belt passengers don't see when they drop off their bags before they are sent off to be screened and sorted. AUS said these new updates aim to make the system more efficient and reliable. The project will begin this summer, with the first of two phases to be completed by summer 2024. Some of these updates will include a new and upgraded system for the outbound/checked luggage as well as demolishing existing office space to house the new system. Officials added that the benefit to passengers is a more reliable system for checked luggage, saying that flights are less likely to be delayed for takeoff because bags haven’t arrived to the aircraft and passengers will be less likely to arrive at their final destination without their luggage.

Originally published July 26 on IdahoEdNews.org. Nampa’s middle and high schools will return to a traditional grading system this fall, after a school board decision Monday night. The trustees’ 4-1 vote went against recommendations from administration, who wanted to retain a standards-based grading system. The decision allows Nampa elementary schools to continue using standards-based grading, as they have since 2014. Nampa secondary schools introduced standards-based grading in 2019. The goal of the system, according to the district, was to measure students’ mastery of content standards through progress, rather than one-time scores. Teachers graded on a 1-to-4 scale, and expected scores to improve as students learned and mastered class content. At the end of the semester, scores were averaged and converted into a percentage, which became the student’s letter grade. Though the district intended to measure achievement more clearly, many in the district expressed confusion about the system. Waylon Yarbrough, a former Nampa High School principal now serving as the district’s interim deputy superintendent, spoke Monday in favor of standards-based grading. He acknowledged that the district had not streamlined the system, and its implementation was rocky due to COVID-19 interruptions. A lack of communication was also a top concern. Ultimately, though, he argued the system was best for students. “While admittedly we’re not where we want to be as a district … standards-based grading does support clarity in giving what kids know and are able to do,” Yarbrough said. “If we don’t find out where the student is struggling from a learning perspective, that really handcuffs our teachers and their ability to give the appropriate intervention.” Yarbrough asked the board for time to develop a committee on standards-based grading, to streamline the system and communicate changes to teachers, parents and students. He also expressed concern about the existing contract the district has with Otus, a learning management system designed for standards-based grading. Canceling the contract could cost the district up to $114,000. Eight people showed up for public comment Monday; six spoke against standards-based grading. Board chairman Jeff Kirkman also read a letter from a recent graduate who wrote against the grading system. Many criticized the district’s lack of communication, and others argued that the system harmed students’ chances of getting into college. One mother of two Nampa students suggested the standards-based system made her high-achieving students “apathetic” to learning. Another argued that she felt disconnected from her students’ education. Kristen Young, another Nampa mom, said standards-based grading set students up for failure and didn’t reflect the “real world.” Jaci Johnson spoke in support of the system. “Improving education can sometimes be a bumpy road,” Johnson said. “But it doesn’t mean change shouldn’t happen for the benefit of kids.” The board deliberated for around an hour before voting. Trustee Mandy Simpson was the lone vote against removing standards-based grading. “It’s not a grading problem that we have,” said Simpson, a teacher in the Boise school district. “It’s a communication problem.” The board’s decision leaves the district to rewrite policy and approve edited handbooks with only three weeks until the Aug. 18 start of the school year.

Originally published July 27 on IdahoEdNews.org. Boise State University is hoping for strong fall enrollment. But some factors are beyond the university’s control — such as a superheated Treasure Valley housing market. A shortage of on-campus housing and a scarcity of affordable off-campus options could keep some potential students from showing up this fall. “We’ve heard from some very vocal parents,” said Kris Collins, Boise State’s associate vice president for enrollment services. Boise State officials won’t know what enrollment really looks like for several more weeks. Fall classes don’t begin until Aug. 22. And from there, it’s usually several weeks before the four-year schools wrap up their fall numbers. However, the signs seem promising. Applications and admissions spiked early, although those numbers have since tapered off, Collins said. Boise State expects an increase in in-state admissions, Collins said. One possible reason: This year, in-state students were given preference for Boise State’s scarce housing spots. That scarcity isn’t new; in 2020, Boise State began working with a consulting group, which identified a need for an additional 738 beds for students. And the problem won’t go away overnight. In October, the State Board of Education approved a 450-bed, $4.5 million first-year residence hall, but Boise State doesn’t expect to open another dormitory before the fall of 2025. Meanwhile, another troubling trend continues to affect Boise State’s enrollment. Idaho’s college go-on rate remains in a free fall, dropping to only 37% last spring. This rate has dropped by 13 percentage points in four years, and Collins says she can see a link between this plunge and Boise State’s enrollment. That was the case last fall, when a majority of Boise State’s first-year students came from out of state for the first time in school history. “That was because our Idaho students didn’t show up,” Collins said. This fall, Boise State expects a majority of its first-year students to come from Idaho. About that State Board enrollment study … In an interview last week, Collins talked about a State Board of Education report on long-range demographic trends and their implications for Idaho universities. One surprise, she said, is Boise State’s footprint in the Treasure Valley. About 80% of Boise State’s in-state students come from the Treasure Valley — a number so high that university officials double-checked it after the report came out. The State Board report said the Treasure Valley’s growth is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it gives Boise State a vibrant local recruiting base. On the other hand, Treasure Valley newcomers might not have a baked-in affinity to Boise State, so they might not be as inclined to attend their local university. The State Board report pointed to another challenge for Boise State: A disproportionate share of its West Coast student recruits are white, a demographic group that is likely to shrink in the years to come. This forecast wasn’t a surprise, Collins said. And Boise State is looking to step up its recruiting of Latino students, in Idaho and out of state. One key to recruiting Latino students, wherever they live, is to use word of mouth and a personal touch. Latino students want to feel like they’re part of a community, Collins said. “Slick marketing campaigns aren’t what they’re looking for.”

FLOYD COUNTY, KY (WOWK) — Residents of Cow Creek in Floyd County will have restored power around 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. on Wednesday after a significant outage. Officials with Big Sandy Rural Electric Cooperative Cooperation (RECC) say the outage started on Tuesday when a whole circuit blew out in Cow Creek, leaving 300 people without power. Floyd County officials closed a road in Cow Creek where water, erosion and trees created hazards. Electricians could not access the road to make repairs. Big Sandy RECC officials tell 13 News that neighbors gave workers rides on side-by-side vehicles, helping them get into the area to restore as much power as possible. Late Tuesday night, electricians were able to back-feed and get the majority of people’s power on. There were still several broken poles, and throughout Wednesday the electrical workers cleaned up storm damages. As of 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Big Sandy RECC has the power disconnected for about 20 more minutes while finishing up the work. Power should be fully reconnected within an hour or two, officials say.

ATLANTIC CITY — Since Derek Grady was younger, he always wanted to own a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card, but it was out of his price range no matter the grade or condition. Grady may not get to purchase one, but he will help auction the prized card. Heritage Auction is selling a mint-condition Mickey Mantle baseball card, which could break records when the auction ends Aug. 27. The decades-old card was graded 9.5 out of 10 by SGC Card Grading, which is very good as the grading scale is very strict, and is estimated to sell for $10 million or more. The rare card is on display until Sunday at the 42nd National Sports Collectors Convention being held this week at the Atlantic City Convention Center. The show, which opened with a preview show Wednesday, will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. this week. The record for a sports memorabilia item is a Diego Maradona 1986 Argentina World Cup game-worn jersey that sold for $9,284,536. People are also reading… Maradona wore the shirt during the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal match between Argentina and England. During the second half, Maradona scored a goal with his hand. It became known as the "hand of God" goal. The second-most expensive item, but highest-selling card, was a T206 Honus Wagner card that sold for $6.6 million in 2021. The Mantle card's highest bid was $1.5 million as of Wednesday. "It's special because, being a (1952) Topps Mantle, which is his most popular card, and just being a super-popular player in the collectible industry and an iconic New York Yankee, that has been one of the key cards in the collecting hobby," said Grady, who is the executive vice president of Heritage Auction. Anthony Giordano, the owner of the card, purchased the item for $50,000 at a Father's Day Show in Madison Square Garden in 1991. Grady called the Mantle "one of the most iconic cards in the hobby," and no matter the grade is very expensive. Al Rosen, one of the pioneers in the card collecting industry, found the card in the 1980s. He bought a huge collection of mint cards, and the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle was one of them. Rosen was known as "Mr. Mint" by other collectors because of his finds. This edition is considered Mantle's rookie card, Grady said. Giordano was not there Wednesday, but is expected to be at the show Thursday. "It is really special," Grady said. Paul Ware has been a security guard for high-priced items for 20 years at Heritage. He was one of the many guards at the convention watching the exclusive card, along with the many other items Heritage had on display. "Every show they have, there is always something interesting or better than the last time," said Ware, who noted he is not used to guarding cards. "I just find it amazing from the outside looking in at just the history of the cards and seeing and meeting people. I enjoy that." The reactions of fans are the best. When people come up to the case, they ask for photos and are "blown away," Grady said. They are documentary crews and other TV stations going to do reports about the card this week, Grady said. The card was one of the main images on the advertisement for the National Sports Collectors Convention, which is known as the National. "It's that special of a card," said Grady, who owned a card store in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and later worked at SGC. "I don't think there is a more valuable card in this building. I always loved cards as a kid. "I never grew up I guess. I'm still collecting," Grady joked. Mantle, also known as “the Mick,” was a Triple Crown winner, a three-time American League MVP and a seven-time World Series champion. The Hall of Famer and switch-hitter died in 1995, and is considered one of the greatest players in baseball. Ware grew up in the 1950s and 1960s and watched Mantle play. "This crowd here, they are amazed by this card," Ware said. "The words I hear are 'spectacular, incredible, amazing.' You can tell it has meaning and value and how much it's worth to everyone." "I'm a sports fan, too, so I love this atmosphere." Heritage public relation specialist Steve Lansdale noted that anyone looking to add to their collection or make the next step in collections should look at this, if they have the money to do so, because "the condition is absolutely incredible." "Tens (on the SGC grading scale) are few and far between, and this is a 9.5, so it is about as clean and pristine as you can get," Lansdale said. "It just holds a very significant place in the card collecting hobby. Heritage has signed basketballs, baseball and game-worn jerseys on display, like Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo, Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner and former NBA standout Tim Duncan. There are multiple championship rings on display, including a 2016 New England Patriots Super Bowl and a 1992 Toronto Blue Jays World Series rings. Heritage has a lot of great things, but nothing beats the Mantle card in regards to worth. "Watching the faces of the collectors, they get into this because they are finding and collecting things they love. So when they see a card with this much history and significance and in great condition, these people know what they are looking at," said Lansdale, who has been collecting cards since he was younger. "If you understand the hobby, you can't help but appreciate how special it is."

Members of several local fire departments, as well as firefighters from across the state, met in Harrisburg to load fire equipment and other supplies. Some members of the group will be heading west to assist with the Sugarloaf Fires outside of Laramie, Wyoming. The team traveling west is made up of a few volunteers from each department. Despite the distance from home, the firefighters are happy to accept the assignment. "I love the challenge, I love meeting new people, I love working with different people, and just to go out there and be able to do something that I love to do, and be able to put that towards helping others in the community... can't really get any better than that," said Jacob Novitsky with the DCNR Fire Forester Crew. The Wyoming group will include four fire trucks and one SUV. The assignment is expected to last anywhere from 18 to 21 days. The volunteers will hit the road Thursday morning around 9 a.m.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — The Franklin County Sheriff's Office warned residents to be wary of a phone scam on Wednesday. The office has reportedly received several reports of a phone scam circulating the county. Posing as a sheriff's deputy, the scammer will typically accuse the caller of missing a court date and that they are facing a warrant for arrest unless they pay the scammer with gift cards. This is a scam that should not be followed. If the Franklin County Sheriff's Office needs to contact someone, they will make an attempt to visit the individual at their home. If the individual is not home, the deputies will leave a card asking for the homeowner to contact or visit the sheriff's office at 717-261-3877 or at 14 North Main St. in Chambersburg. The sheriff's office is reminding residents to be alert and cautious when answering phone calls. If something seems suspicious, report it to the local police department or sheriff's office.

MOUNT JOY, Pa. — The second week of April was a busy one for Heather Lewis and her family. They were getting ready for their next flock of chickens, which was scheduled to come in the next few days. “And that was when the first case of avian influenza was found in Pennsylvania, more specifically in our neighborhood," said Lewis. Plans were put on hold as the family waited to see what their future would look like. “What’s stopped our world and brought our days of farming as we know it to a halt, turned other people’s worlds upside down," said Lewis. “However there are many, many others that had direct income losses due to the proximity to these positive flocks," said Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. The financial impact of the outbreak was about $34 million. “That is only for the loss of the poultry, and some of the cleanup and response effort, it does not address any of the recovery," said Redding. The Agriculture Secretary, PEMA, U.S Department of Agriculture, and industry partners announced a new $25 million recovery and reimbursement program for poultry farmers and integrators impacted by highly pathogenic avian influenza. The HPAI recovery reimbursement grant program is comprised of two rounds: The first round is for poultry farmers and integrators and to only those premises located in the 3-kilometer infected zones as defined by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s general quarantine order. Round two will be open to those who suffered losses in the control zones. “The funding was designed to be flexible enough to cover various related costs, and we’re moving quickly to get the money into the hands of the farmers who need it," said Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity. Lewis and her family say words will never be enough to express the gratitude they feel. “I never thought I’d have the opportunity to thank the people who worked so hard to ensure that our way of life could continue and we could get back to the business of raising America’s number source of protein…but here I am," said Lewis.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland is working to uplift the voices of women of color this summer by hosting a diverse series of speakers and performers. The program series, called “This is She,” will feature five presenters, including entrepreneurs, musicians, actors and more. The presenters will share their craft and their perspectives on issues that affect minority communities. “We want to bring the spirit back to the garden. And this year, it has been a very challenging year, especially for women of color in Portland, so we really do feel that and we want to speak to that voice,” said Venus Sun, the senior director of culture and community engagement at Lan Su Chinese Garden. She said the platform provides the presenters a space to share their life stories, their struggles and their art. While it’s always been a place of tranquil beauty and meditation, the Lan Su Chinese Garden is hoping to provide more for the community, by emphasizing the need to support Black, Indigenous people of color and Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. “What’s happened in the past few months maybe even served as an extra push to take a look at what our community needs and at the same time, what kind of role can Lan Su be playing in new conversations or new dialogues going forward,” Sun said. The talk series began July 23, but continues for the following four Saturdays, through August 20. All events begin at 2 p.m. During the first event, Sun said the garden expected 20-30 people to attend, but was pleasantly surprised when an audience of at least 100 people came to watch Sherrie Davis Morningstar, a multicultural Indigenous American musician. She said the line to get into the event wrapped around the building. The following people will be presenting during the This is She series: - July 30th, 2-3:00 pm: Yuan-Chen Li, Taiwanese American composer - August 6th, 2-4:00 pm: Barbie Wu, Taiwanese American actor and creative producer of Repertory Theatre - August 13th, 2-4:00 pm: Leialoha Ka’ula, Native Hawaiian educator and community leader, Ka Lei Hali’a O Ka Lokelani - August 20th, 2-4:00 pm: Kamelah Adams, founder and creative director of Mimi’s Fresh Tees Sun said she’d like to see the series become an annual event.

A Richmond man who was released in 2019 after serving 23 years for a federal drug trafficking conspiracy was sentenced Wednesday to nearly 3 years more for possessing a gun he bought on the streets of Richmond. He admitted he was again engaged in selling drugs. Following a sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Richmond, Judge John A. Gibney Jr. sentenced Keith L. Hopkins Jr., 54, to 33 months in prison for his earlier guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The punishment was within discretionary federal sentencing guidelines, which called for an active term of between 30 and 37 months. Richmond police caught Hopkins with a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol on Oct. 27 as they were executing an arrest warrant on an unrelated person at the 301 Express Convenience Store in the city. Officers observed Hopkins reach into his waistband, pull out a holstered gun and discard it in a vehicle occupied by two people, according to the government's statement of facts. People are also reading… Hopkins subsequently told police that he purchased the gun "off the street" for $325. He "further stated that he sells illegal narcotics and makes approximately $500-$600 per day doing so." Two years earlier, Hopkins was released from federal prison after serving 23 years for conspiring to distribute heroin and cocaine. "The defendant, a now 54-year-old man, has a substantial and serious criminal history that includes an armed robbery, malicious wounding with a firearm where he shot a man three times, assault, brandishing a firearm, and a far-reaching federal drug trafficking conspiracy where he not only sold heroin and crack cocaine but also possessed firearms in furtherance of that narcotics trafficking," Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Simon Jr. wrote in the government's sentencing memorandum. Simon added: "His offenses have largely been violent offenses in addition to narcotics trafficking. There does not appear to be a single year of his adult life that he did not commit a serious crime." In 1995, at age 28, he was convicted in federal court of engaging in a multi-year, large-scale drug trafficking scheme that netted him 384 months, or 32 years, in prison. But his sentence was later reduced to 278 months, and he was released on May 10, 2019. "The defendant's recidivism is pronounced," Simon said. "Stated differently, when the defendant is not imprisoned he is more often than not committing serious crimes." Amy Austin, Hopkins' attorney, said in a sentencing memorandum that Hopkins initially did well after his release from prison, and at the time of his arrest, was working part-time as a UPS truck loader earning $400 a week. But his progress began to change in March 2021, when he found his mother dead in her home of cancer. He began abusing heroin to cope with the loss, and "this renewed drug use led to Mr. Hopkins making very bad decisions ... during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Austin, who urged a punishment at the lower end of the guidelines. He was able to maintain employment, but he faced difficulties of "living in a state of lock down, wherein any support systems Mr. Hopkins had in place ground to a complete halt in 2020, less than one year after his release from a 23-year sentence," she said. "The loss of his mother, the loss of certain freedoms due to the pandemic, isolation due to the pandemic, and not being supervised as closely, all had an effect on Mr. Hopkins' continued success," Austin said. To make matters worse, Austin said, Hopkins was shot and wounded in September 2021 as he was standing outside a store. He was caught in the crossfire of a shooting and struck in the buttocks; his wound has still not healed. "This shooting caused Mr. Hopkins grave concern for his safety and, unwisely, [he] began carrying a gun for protection." A Richmond man has been accused of dumping a body that was found in Caroline County in early May, court records show. Newport News animal welfare officers seized more than 80 animals from two Poquoson homes last week, with an investigation now underway.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Rainbows United unveiled a miniature and very artistic Keeper of the Plains to celebrate its 50th birthday. Rainbows United unveils Keeper of the Plains (KSN Photo) Rainbows was founded in 1972 as a developmental training center for children with disabilities who are ineligible for special needs services provided through the public schooling system. Over time, special education in public schools has improved, and so has Rainbows. Not only do they assist children from birth through age 21, but they also assist their families. According to the President of Rainbows, Gay Kimble, this Keeper was a way to give back to the community. “It’s our hope to draw attention to Rainbows. We provide amazing services in the community, and the community has supported us in so many different ways in over 50 years, so this is a way to recognize that and to have more people on our campus and learn about us,” said Kimble. The miniature Keeper was painted by a local artist Delilah Reed. Her design includes 51 items that represent the children and programs at Rainbows United, including some special handprints. “We feel like it’s a beautiful addition, and our children are loving it. They’ve been a part of the process. We have handprints on the statue from six different stakeholders that were part of the process,” said Kimble. This Keeper is part of the Keepers on Parade, a public art project by Together Wichita where local artists paint a unique design on a 10-foot tall fiberglass version of the Keeper on the Plains for businesses and organizations around the city. The unveiling celebration also included the children of Rainbows singing Happy Birthday to the organization: You can find this Keeper mounted at Rainbows United, 3223 N Oliver.

SOUTHPORT, Ind. — Southport is remembering the sacrifice of Lt. Aaron Allan, who died in the line of duty five years ago. The city posted that it will never forget its fallen brother. Allan was killed July 27, 2017, while he and an officer with the Homecroft Police Department were responding to a crashed car near Madison Avenue and Maynard Drive. Allan, 38, reached into the car to help the driver, when the driver shot him multiple times. Allan, a six-year veteran of Southport Police, with more than 20 years of law enforcement experience, had earlier walked his son to the bus stop for the first day of kindergarten. In May 2022, the man accused of shooting and killing Allan was sentenced to 58 years in prison. He had earlier waived a jury trial and was found guilty of murder by a judge. That man is now appealing.

Lakeshore Public Media President and CEO James Muhammad is stepping down after nearly a decade at the helm. Muhammad will leave on Sept. 7 to head west and become president of the University of Southern California Radio Group. “Lakeshore Public Media has made great strides across both Lakeshore Public Radio and Lakeshore PBS in recent years under James’ leadership,” Lakeshore Public Media Board Chairman Larry Brechner said. “While he will truly be missed, we have an amazing team that is fully committed to the success of the organization and they will continue to put in the work each and every day to ensure the organization continues moving forward.” Muhammad has led the Merrillville-based affiliate of PBS and NPR since 2013. Under his leadership, the 35-year-old public broadcasting company has won a number of awards, including a Public Media Award, Gold Telly Award, two Communicator Awards of Excellence, a Chicago/Midwest Emmy Award, 14 Silver Telly Awards, five Communicator Awards of Distinction and the Spectrum Award for community engagement. The Crossroads Regional Chamber of Commerce named Lakeshore Public Media the 2022 Nonprofit of the Year. Muhammad also won the 2022 Richard Allen Award from Allen University in Columbia, South Carolina for his public media stewardship. During his tenure, the broadcaster expanded digital offerings, boosted its radio signal, landed funding for a new television antenna and led community conversations on race, justice and policing. He also updated Lakeshore Public Media's public relations efforts. “It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland. My focus has always been on creating meaningful impact and presenting the stories of Northwest Indiana in an exceptional way,” Muhammad said. “I believe we achieved that.” In his new role, he will run Classical California, the top classical music radio station network in the nation. A service of USC, its flagship stations are in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Muhammad got his start in public radio as a classical music announcer and arts content producer at the University of Alabama’s NPR station.

Lowell Animal Hospital is planning a major expansion that will double its size. The animal hospital at 17645 Morse Street in Lowell will soon break ground on a 7,000-square-foot clinic that will double its size. A groundbreaking ceremony is slated for August 1. "We are opening a new clinic on the property to the north that will be twice the size," Practice Manager and Co-owner Nicole Schaff said. It will have eight exam rooms, two surgery suites and a dental suite. It will have an ultrasound machine and a digital X-ray. "It will be much bigger than the old one," Schaff said. "We're going to put in a drive-thru for the pharmacy and have a nice retail area with a bigger food selection." The larger clinic is expected to open next year, likely sometime in the spring or summer. "We opened in 2017 and just exploded," she said. "We're non-appointment-based. There aren't many of those in the area. We're open six days a week. We just ran out of room. We need the space to be able to facilitate more care." People appreciate being able to pop in for veterinary care, she said. The clinic also offers endoscopy and laparoscopic surgeries normally only found at universities and specialized hospitals. "Those are the two big things that set us apart," she said. "We get people all the way from Chicago. We take patients from Crown Point, Munster, Rennsealar, Gary, Highland, Merrillville and Grant Park in Illinois." Lowell Animal Hospitals treats dogs and cats, offering services like spaying, neutering, wellness exams, vaccines, soft tissue surgeries, dental work and ultrasounds. It also has a low-cost feral cat program. It plans to add more veterinarians and about 10 more staffers as a result of the expansion. "We'll definitely be able to do a ton more surgeries and more dental surgeries," she said. "We'll be able to do surgeries in a more timely fashion. Right now surgery and dental take place in the same room. And instead of seeing three at a time we'll be able to see eight at a time." Lowell Animal Services also will look to expand other services like orthopedics and more specialized advanced dentistry. "I think the area is just in need of good high-quality medicine at an animal hospital," he said. "There's not much around here except for small mom-and-pop places that will see you on a non-appointment basis. The quality of our medicine is second to none. That is not the case at 90% of the clinics I've worked at. The doctors and staff we have are phenomenal."

A 65-year-old New Jersey man is facing various charges for allegedly posing as a doctor and sexually assaulting a woman who wanted medical services, prosecutors said. Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone and Old Bridge Acting Police Chief, Scott Gumprecht, jointly announced Tuesday that Orger Sibaja-Bolanos of Old Bridge has been charged with one count of second-degree sexual assault, one count of third-degree aggravated assault and one count of third-degree unlicensed practice of medicine.

HAMMOND — A federal court jury convicted a Hammond man Tuesday night of helping plan a street-gang shootout that killed two innocent bystanders. Jurors returned guilty verdicts Tuesday night against 33-year-old Eduardo “Count Eddie” Luciano for the June 29, 2015, homicides of 16-year-old Lauren Calvillo and 33-year-old Christopher White, both of Hammond. Jurors also found Luciano guilty of conspiracy to participate in racketeering activity and conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine and marijuana. Jurors arrived at their guilty verdicts about 7 p.m. on the seventh day of a trial that revolved around a tragic chapter in the murderous rivalry among the Latin Counts, Latin Dragons, Latin Kings, Imperial Gangsters and Two Six Nation, who were competing for turf on which to sell illicit drugs.

Authorities say Latin Counts members traveled to the intersection of Kane Street and Wood Avenue near Hammond’s Jacobs Square neighborhood and opened fire on a group. At least one Latin King returned fire with a handgun. Calvillo, a junior at Hammond High School, was fatally hit in the chest while sitting on her front porch in the 5500 block of Beall Avenue in Hammond as she was attempting to shepherd neighborhood children into her home to take cover. White, who was visiting family on Bealle Avenue, was shot in front of the family member’s home. He died less than six months later at a Dyer nursing home. Defense attorney John Cantrell denied his client had any involvement in that crime. He said Luciano wasn’t present at the shooting and the two homicide victims may have been shot by Latin Kings members, not the Latin Counts. Previously, co-defendant and Latin Count member Ivan Reyes pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and two counts of murder in aid of racketeering. Co-defendant Jeron Williams pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and admitted his involvement in and responsibility for the Cavillo and White murders. Co-defendant and Latin Count member Robert Loya pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy. All three are awaiting sentencing. Federal prosecutors also argued Luciano had a leadership role in the Jackson Street Latin Counts, a Hammond affiliate of the larger Chicago-based Latin Counts gang. A federal indictment alleges Luciano procured firearms for other gang members and was involved in the illicit sale of marijuana and cocaine. Ryan Holmes, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, said in a prepared news release that this case is the result of the investigative efforts of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives/High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force and the Hammond Police Department. It also received assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation/Gang Response Investigative Team Task Force, Gary Police Department, Indiana State Police, East Chicago Police Department and Chicago Police Department.

A 7-year-old girl who was injured in a crash near Corona de Tucson on Tuesday morning has died, officials say. On July 26 just after 8 a.m., deputies responded to a collision involving an SUV and a passenger car at West Sahuarita Road and East Sycamore Ridge Trail. The preliminary investigation revealed that a Dodge Journey SUV was stopped at Sahuarita Road waiting to make a left turn on Sycamore Ridge when a Hyundai Elantra rear-ended the SUV, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release. The Hyundai was occupied with three people, including two children in the back seat. One of the children, the 7-year-old girl, was taken to the hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. The other occupants of the car and the two occupants from the SUV were also taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. People are also reading… The department did not release the child's name. Jamie Donnelly covers breaking news for the Arizona Daily Star. Contact her via e-mail at jdonnelly@tucson.com

In one classroom at the Ott Family YMCA, elementary-aged kids divided into groups and quietly began working on STEM kits packed in boxes, each presenting a different scenario and project to build. Next door, a group of kids had just finished making mini glow-in-the-dark lightsabers and had broken into a dance party with the lights off, so students could show off the colors of their newest creations. The activities taking place on July 20 at Ott, in east side Tucson, illustrated only one portion of the much bigger Az OnTrack Summer Camp, a state program that funded free summer camps across Arizona for students in pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. Gov. Doug Ducey budgeted $100 million earlier this year of federal COVID relief money to create the statewide program, in an effort to help students overcome the academic and social losses they faced during disrupted learning caused by the pandemic. People are also reading… The goal is to help kids catch up on their academics and become reengaged in learning, said Lisa Graham Keegan, a former state schools superintendent appointed by Ducey to lead Az OnTrack Summer Camp. The state offered 800 camp sessions at roughly 680 campsites. As of last week, about 100,000, or roughly 6.2% of Arizona schoolchildren, have participated in the program, The Arizona Republic reported. Ducey had said earlier this year that the program's budget was enough for about 250,000 students to enroll. “When this opportunity came up, we as a statewide alliance of YMCAs decided to move forward and apply for this funding,” said Carolyn Schwartz, vice president of impact and engagement for YMCA of Southern Arizona. “We got approved based on children learning through play and that experiential learning, and not necessarily that they’re going to sit down in a classroom-type setting,” she said of the YMCA camp models. Several other nonprofit organizations and Tucson-area public schools also stepped up for a chance to secure some of the funding and take part in the effort. High demand Keegan said a total student enrollment count for camps in Pima County and elsewhere will become available once all programs wrap up at the end of the summer. For the Ott Family YMCA, according to multisite supervisor Erica Hurt, the demand for summer camp skyrocketed as soon as Ducey announced in the spring that the YMCA would take part in the statewide effort. Before that announcement, Hurt said, the site had about 20 students registered for its summer programs. Overnight, it reached its capacity of 90 students and had an additional 50 registered on the waitlist. Plus, she said, the center was flooded with phone calls and emails from parents asking how they could get their kids in the program. “It got to a point where they had to shut down the waitlist because we were not going to be able to ever serve as many kids,” Hurt said. But thanks to the state funding and a bit of networking, Hurt said they were able to hire more staff and secure a second site to accommodate more families about a week after the Ott camp started on June 6. She said the Ott Family YMCA partnered with Booth Fickett Math-Science Magnet School, located a couple of blocks away, to host additional students in the camps. The school allowed them to use its campus, while the YMCA was in charge of staffing. “The downside was it was free, no cost to families, so they registered for everything, but now they’re not showing up for everything,” Hurt said of student attendance at both programs. “We had families that were waiting to get it and kids that weren’t showing up.” So, she said, they expanded their capacity to make room for students on the waitlist. Throughout the summer, the two sites accommodated 80 to 90 kids each day. Learning through fun activities Hurt said the two camps aren’t modeled as bootcamps for students to catch up on disrupted learning, but rather as a way to teach kids to connect with others while engaging in activities that offer STEAM-related lessons. STEM represents science, technology, engineering and math, while STEAM adds the arts to that list. “As far as math and literacy, that’s all stuff that we’ve built into games and things that they don’t really think of as school or learning. In their eyes, they think of it as a game,” Hurt said, adding that much of the focus is on social-emotional learning, known as SEL. Brooklyn Wood, a 9-year-old who walked around the Ott camp showing off her newly made blue lightsaber to the camp supervisors earlier this month, said making it had been her favorite activity of the camp so far. She added that she missed lying around at home all day, but still preferred to be at camp. “We’re doing fun things and I like that,” she said. Jaiden Carnes, a 13-year-old who has spent his past three summers at the Ott Family YMCA, said his favorite activities this year were catching up with friends, playing basketball and going on a field trip to a local trampoline park. And, he added, he’s learned a lot of new things. “We had to get materials and create a safe place for an egg, so it doesn’t break when you drop it. I did pretty good on that,” he said, explaining that he used cardboard, styrofoam and tape for his project. About one week before the camp ended, Jaiden said he felt ready to tackle the coming school year at Leman Academy of Excellence. “I feel social here, so I don’t have to be shy when I get to school,” he said. “And then I’m also ready for school because my mind is in that learning state. When I get there, I’ll already be catching on new things.” At the end of camp, Hurt said, the students will be tested on their math and reading comprehension skills, as the Az OnTrack program has required all camps to do. Moving forward Once the Ott camp is wrapped up, site supervisor Jenny Jackson said she hopes the kids will be able to leave with improved social-emotional skills that will help them at their schools and overall in life. She noted that she’s heard a lot of students putting themselves down, thinking that they’re “bad kids” when they make mistakes. She said she saw a lot of improvement during the camp, and believes the students will be equipped with much better skills at the end of it. “We do so much positive reinforcement here,” Jackson said. “I think that is really going to help the kids come out better because they see that we see the good in them.” And moving forward, Hurt said, the YMCA plans to continue to hold this style of summer camps — focused on fun SEL- and STEAM-related activities — whether the same state funding is available or not. Parents concerned about learning gaps during the pandemic enrolled their children in summer school in high numbers, officials say. Though details are still being worked out, the $100 million proposal seeks to help Arizona schoolchildren catch up in math, reading and other skills. Arizona governor pledges $100 million in federal COVID-19 relief funding to help students catch up. Have any questions or news tips about K-12 education in Southern Arizona?

HANCOCK COUNTY, Georgia — Brianna Grier died days after reports say she fell from the back seat of a Hancock County Sheriff’s car on July 15. The rear passenger-side door of the sheriff's car was never closed, according to a release from the GBI. RELATED: Hancock County Sheriff’s Office releases report in the death of woman who fell out of cruiser According to a news release from the GBI, agents conducted interviews, reviewed body camera videos and performed mechanical tests on the car. Automotive experts and the Georgia State Patrol assisted in the test to determine if there were possible mechanical malfunctions. The GBI said Grier was placed in the back of the car, handcuffed in the front with no seatbelt. The investigation revealed that after she was arrested, they tried to put her inside the back seat of the deputy's car on the driver's side. One of the deputies walked around and opened the rear passenger side door. The deputy went back around to the driver's side. Both deputies put Grier in the back seat and closed the rear driver's side door. The deputy thought he closed the rear passenger side door, and the deputies left the scene. They drove a short distance before Grier fell out of the moving car. Body camera footage reveals the deputies had no contact with Grier from the time she was placed in the car until he fell out of the car. The GBI investigation remains active and ongoing.

LOS ANGELES — Tony Dow, who as Wally Cleaver on the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” helped create the popular and lasting image of the American teenager of the 1950s and 60s, died Wednesday. He was 77. No cause was given, but Dow had been in hospice care and announced in May that he had been diagnosed with prostate and gall bladder cancer. “Although this is a very sad day, I have comfort and peace that he is in a better place,” Dow’s son Christopher said in a post on his father’s official Facebook page. “He was the best Dad anyone could ask for. He was my coach, my mentor, my voice of reason, my best friend, my best man in my wedding, and my hero.” A post on Dow’s Facebook page on Tuesday prematurely reported that he had died, but his wife and management team later took down the post and explained that it was announced in error. Dow’s Wally was an often annoyed but essentially loving big brother who was constantly bailing out the title character, Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver, played by Jerry Mathers, on the show that was synonymous with the sometimes hokey, wholesome image of the 1950s American family. Dow was born and raised in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles — his mother was a stuntwoman who acted as a double for silent film star Clara Bow — but his parents did not push him into show business. He had done just a little stage acting and appeared in a pair of pilots. After attending an open casting call, he landed his career-defining role as Wally. Dow would play the part for six seasons and more than 200 episodes from 1957 to 1963 on primetime on CBS and ABC, then for more than 100 episodes in the 1980s on a syndicated sequel series. On the show, Wally, sometimes the center of the plot himself, navigated the worlds of junior high and high school — his two-faced best friend Eddie Haskell at his side — with just a little more wisdom than his little brother. The show’s plotlines suggested Wally was bound for great things — he mentions wanting to become an aerospace engineer — and he tended to find himself in moral dilemmas that stemmed from his essential goodness. Dow’s favorite episode was one in which the always-ready-to-teach father, Ward Cleaver, played by Hugh Beaumont, wants his boys to know what his childhood was like. He takes them into the wilderness, despite their having what they felt was pressing business at home. “The boys didn’t want to go because ‘Zombies From Outer Space’ was playing in the theater,” Dow said in a 2018 interview with Sidewalks Entertainment at Silicon Valley Comic-Con. After the trip, at the end of the episode, Ward discovers the boys on a hilltop with binoculars, thinking they’re taking in some nature. “They were watching Zombies from Outer Space at the drive-in,” Dow said with a laugh. The show was still popular when it went off the air, but it had naturally run its course with Wally about to go to college and Beaver bound for high school. Dow’s death leaves Mathers and Rusty Stevens, who played Beaver’s friend Larry Mondello, as the only surviving members of the show’s core cast. Beaumont died in 1982. Barbara Billingsley, who played mother June Cleaver, died in 2010. Ken Osmond, who played Haskell, died in 2020. Dow would appear as a guest star on other TV series throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s, including “My Three Sons,” “Dr. Kildare,” “Adam-12,” “Emergency,” “Square Pegs” and “Knight Rider.” He took a break from acting to serve three years in the U.S. National Guard in the late 1960s. From 1983 to 1989, amid a cultural craze for nostalgia television, Dow reprised the role of Wally in “The New Leave it to Beaver.” He began writing and directing episodes of that series, and would work as a director in television throughout the 1990s on shows including “The New Lassie,” “Babylon 5,” “Harry and the Hendersons” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” At a time when such disclosures were rare, Dow went public with his clinical depression in the 1980s and made self-help videos on accepting and dealing with the illness. Along with appearances in later years at pop culture conventions, often alongside Mather, Dow worked as an artist, gaining a sterling reputation as a sculptor. One of his bronze pieces was accepted at 2008′s Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts, a 150-year-old art show staged annually at the Louvre. Dow told The Associated Press in 2012 that his openings brought out as many people anxious to rub shoulders with the Beaver’s big brother as to see his art. “I think it’s hard, especially with the Wally image, to be taken seriously at pretty much anything other than that,” he said with a chuckle and a shake of his head. Dow is survived by his wife of 42 years, Lauren, son Christopher, daughter-in-law Melissa, and brother Dion. ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL)- As Ballad Health sees a surge in COVID-19 cases again, the healthcare’s infection prevention team is eyeing another disease: monkeypox. As of Wednesday, the World Health Organization has declared it to be a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” which is one step below a pandemic. “It’s not something that you’re going to get simply passing someone in the store, it’s that prolonged face-to-face contact, that skin-to-skin contact,” said Jamie Swift, Ballad Health’s Chief Infection Prevention Officer. “As it becomes more prevalent in our community then certainly there’s that risk of spreading to household contacts. Then you think about as children, if a child is exposed and goes back to school, then there’s all those things and different ways that it starts to spread once it’s really introduced to a community.” Monkeypox isn’t new. There have been outbreaks in the United States and other countries in the past. So far, Ballad Health has only treated two confirmed cases, and tests are pending from some urgent care facilities and doctor’s offices. It also must be reported to the health department. As of Wednesday, Swift says there isn’t much concern locally. “I do not think we’re going to see large outbreaks or school exposures of monkeypox,” she said. “I think the risk is low where we stand right now. But, I think it’s always an important time before school starts to have the basic infection prevention discussion with children– washing your hands, not sharing items, not eating and drinking after each other.” The most common symptoms are rash, blisters, fatigue and fever. Symptoms could last between two and four weeks. People are contagious until the last blister clears and must quarantine for 21 days. Not everyone will need treatment. “There’s actually a post-exposure prophylaxis treatment. Those high-risk contacts may be offered that prevention treatment through the department of health,” Swift said. Contact tracing among medical providers and the community is a must. “That post-exposure prophylaxis is actually the vaccine. So if you are identified as a high-risk contact with high-risk exposure, then you may be offered the vaccine to prevent you from illness,” Swift said. “There are certain cities that are offering the vaccine to high-risk groups right now to really try to limit spread.” The Personal Protective Equipment for medical providers is similar to what is worn for COVID-positive patients like eye protection, gloves and masks. The best thing to do is get tested if you’re concerned about a new rash. “If you have a rash that’s progressing to these blisters, you want to have that looked at,” said Swift. “There are lots of things it could be. It may or may not be anything of concern.”

BUCHANAN COUNTY, Va. (WJHL) – Oakwood, Virginia in Buchanan County is experiencing further flooding Wednesday. Fire Chief Jeremy Cook of the Oakwood Virginia Fire and Rescue said that as of 3:45 p.m., a few homes on Big Branch Road in Oakwood are being threatened by the flooding. “We have responded to several reports of trees down, mudslides, standing water and power lines down but so far no major damages,” said Cook. The area is in close proximity to the parts of the county that were devastated by floods earlier in July. Those floods most severely impacted areas like Whitewood, Jewell Ridge, Jewell Valley and Clifton Fork. The Virginia Emergency Management Agency reported earlier in the week that damage assessments from the first bout of flooding found that 32 structures had been destroyed, with another 95 either damaged or affected. News Channel 11 has a crew on the way to Buchanan County and will provide updates as they become available.

Lee esta historia en español aquí. Following a high-profile case of alleged racial discrimination against two Black girls, SeaWorld is being sued for other alleged instances of “pervasive and appalling” discrimination against children at Sesame Place Philadelphia. The plaintiffs named in the lawsuit are Baltimore, Maryland, residents Quinton Burns and his 5-year-old daughter, who allege that four performers refused to engage with the girl and other Black children during a meet-and-greet last month. The performers did “readily” engage with “numerous” white kids, according to the suit. “Racism is horrible when it’s perpetrated against adults, but it’s in a separate category altogether of horror when it’s perpetrated against kids who can’t fight back and who have to struggle to understand how ugly it is and how it must be eliminated from every aspect of American life,” William Murphy, one of the lawyers for the Burns family, said at a Wednesday afternoon press conference in Philadelphia. The plaintiffs are seeking at least $25 million in damages from SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment – which owns Sesame Place – on behalf of all Black people who visited Sesame Place since July 27, 2018, and “suffered disparate treatment” from SeaWorld employees who ignored Black children “while interacting with similarly situated white children.” They're demanding a jury trial. The suit states that on or around June 18, Burns bought two tickets to the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, theme park, which entitled him and his daughter to meet-and-greets. They tried to participate in a meet-and-greet, but the performers – dressed as Elmo, Ernie, Telly Monster and Abby Cadabby – ignored them and other Black children while interacting with white children, the lawsuit asserts. “SeaWorld breached its contracts with the Burns and Class Members when, solely due to their race or color, and by and through its agents and/or employs, it publicly and discriminatorily denied Plaintiffs the opportunity to enjoy the experience of meeting and greeting the Sesame Street costume character performers as promised,” according to the suit. The suit also says SeaWorld knew the performers harbored racial bias against Black people. The Burns brought the suit after seeing a viral video of another incident of alleged discrimination that happened to a family from New York. That video showed a performer dressed as the character Rosita seemingly ignoring two young Black girls while then reaching toward another girl – who the family’s lawyer said was white – and giving her a hug. The lawyer for that family, B’Ivory LaMarr, called the incident a “racist act.” The girls’ mother and aunt has demanded the performer be fired, but she has said that she would rather avoid a lawsuit. LaMarr said Sesame Place should be made to cover any expenses related to the mental health of the girls, who he said are now dealing with “severe emotional distress.” Sesame Place originally said the performer’s costume may have made it difficult to see the girls and that the “no” gesture made by the character in the first video was not specifically aimed at the pair. The gesture, the park said, was made in “response to multiple requests from someone in the crowd who asked Rosita to hold their child for a photo which is not permitted.” Asked for comment about the new video on July 22, the theme park pointed NBC10 to a statement saying that it “wholeheartedly” apologized to the family and that what the girls experienced was “unacceptable” and “antithetical to our values, principles and purpose.” Get updates on what's happening in Philadelphia and the region in your inbox.

The park said it was reviewing its practices and instituting mandatory training for all employees to deliver an “equitable” and “inclusive” experience to guests. Since then, other families have come forward to allege racism at Sesame Place Philadelphia. LaMarr said that more than 150 families have reached out to him and his law firm alleging similar conduct from performers at the park. Meanwhile, Burns, the plaintiff from Maryland, said he was “hurt” and “devastated” by the alleged treatment of his daughter. The lawsuit also seeks an order requiring SeaWorld to implement mandatory cultural sensitivity training for its employees.

Two of southeastern Pennsylvania's biggest brands are coming together on a deal, as SEPTA and Wawa announced a naming rights deal on Wednesday in which the convenience store giant chain will get a station namesake and its name in a Regional Rail line. The new "Wawa Station" will be added to the end of the existing Media-Elwyn line which previously terminated in Elwyn, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The new station will open to SEPTA passengers on Aug. 21. It is located about three miles west of the Elwyn station stop. Wawa is paying $5.4 million to have the station name for the next 10 years, the entities said in a statement. The Regional Rail line currently known as the Media/Elwyn line will be known as the Media/Wawa line once the name change is made official next month. The new station has been under renovations since 2018. The station building is ADA-accessible and includes a 600-space parking lot. SEPTA bus routes 111 and 114 will connect at the station. This is the fifth naming rights for a station sold by SEPTA in the last 10 years. The first was AT&T Station at the Sports Complex terminus of the Broad Street line. Since then, that station has been renamed for NRG Energy while the former Market East station in Center City is now Jefferson Station and the former University City Regional Rail station in West Philadelphia is now the Penn Medicine Station. The new Wawa Station is across from a recognizable Wawa Dairy facility that has been a big part of the convenience store chain's local ties for a century. “Wawa is thrilled to partner with SEPTA to relaunch the Media/Wawa Line and provide our friends and neighbors a convenient way to travel from Wawa, Pennsylvania, to Center City Philadelphia and all stops in between,” Wawa President and CEO Chris Gheysens said in the statement. “Located across from the Wawa Dairy that has been bottling and distributing milk for more than 100 years and adjacent to our home office campus, this rail line has meant a lot to Wawa and to our founding family throughout the years. We cannot wait to celebrate its return and look forward to being a part of new history through this new station.” Local Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood. Wawa is headquartered in Delaware County, with its name lending to a community in Middletown Township and Chester Heights Borough. The new station is in Middletown.

Newsroom diversity report for The Herald-Times in 2022 For The Herald-Times to succeed, we must have an inclusive and diverse workplace where employees are valued and feel empowered. We are committed to building and sustaining a workforce that is reflective of the diversity in the communities we serve. As part of our commitment to an inclusive culture, we are annually publishing the makeup of our newsroom staff. That same commitment is being carried out across the USA TODAY Network, which is made up of more than 200 local publications and USA TODAY. This information, a snapshot as of July 1, 2022, includes the gender and racial makeup of our news workforce, as well as for managers within our newsroom. More:Newsroom diversity snapshot shows no change in workforce makeup A diverse and inclusive workforce helps us better connect and serve you, our readers and our community partners. Not much has changed since our last report, except The Herald-Times currently has two open positions and is actively recruiting diverse candidates to join our newsroom. Our small newsroom staff was 41.7% male, 58.3% female and 100% white at the time of the July 2022 survey. Last summer we reported our newsroom was 100% white, with 54.5% being male and 45.5% female. Management of our newsroom was 100% female in 2021 and remains so in 2022. The American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau asks two separate questions, one about Hispanic origin and one about race, allowing individuals to self-select from multiple options. However, to compare with internal Gannett employee information that asks individuals to mark only one option, we used the following categories: Hispanic or Latino (for ACS, regardless of any other race selected), White (not Hispanic or Latino), Black or African American (not Hispanic or Latino), Asian (not Hispanic or Latino), American Indian or Alaska Native (not Hispanic or Latino), Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander (not Hispanic or Latino), or two or more races (not Hispanic or Latino). All information on racial identity is provided voluntarily by employees. Gannett also allows an individual to not disclose their race or ethnicity.

The Bismarck City Commission has approved a preliminary 2023 budget and advanced a proposal to use reserves to support a homeless shelter in the city. The preliminary budget focuses on public safety, raises to retain city workers, cybersecurity and equipment replacement, while having no mill levy increases. A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for Sept. 13 before the commission decides on final approval. The preliminary general fund budget -- funded largely by property and sales taxes -- is nearly $63 million. The preliminary total budget is about $303 million. City Finance Director Dmitriy Chernyak told the Tribune that the total budget was calculated with current water rates and may change after the city finishes conducting a water rate study. The 2022 general fund budget was just over $71 million, and the total budget was $330 million. Chernyak told the Tribune the decrease this year is due to projects funded in last year's budget that aren't in the 2023 budget. People are also reading… Bismarck's budget impacts a portion of Bismarck property owners' tax bill. Property valuations and the budgets for Burleigh County, Bismarck Public Schools, and Bismarck Parks and Recreation also impact property taxes. The commission voted 4-1 on Tuesday to approve the preliminary budget, with Commissioner Mark Splonskowski voting against it. He did not cite his reasons during the meeting and did not immediately comment to the Tribune on Wednesday. Shelter funding Commissioners during Tuesday's meeting discussed using reserve funds to help maintain the Missouri Slope Areawide United Way emergency shelter. The discussion came after United Way Vice President John Weber asked for the city's support with operational costs. Weber said that the shelter this month went from being open 24/7 to just overnight hours. He asked the commission to add $250,000 to the 2023 city budget so that the shelter can return to being open 24/7. Chernyak in the meeting said United Way made a budget request for a capital project during the 2020 budget cycle. The city had budgeted $250,000 for both 2020 and 2021, but United Way did not request the 2021 money, he said. Weber explained that United Way did not need the allocated funds then because of other grants and federal COVID-19 funds. Commissioner Greg Zenker suggested amending the current budget to add an expenditure for United Way -- the $250,000 that was funded in 2021 but not asked for. The money would come out of the city's cash reserve. He said having the shelter open all day is better for the community. Bismarck's fund balance policy says the city will strive to maintain a minimum reserve balance equal to 60% of the general fund revenue. Chernyak said the city is above the threshold by 3%, or about $1.2 million, but he added that it is based on preliminary numbers and could fluctuate. If reserves go below 60%, the city must replenish the funds within five years. Splonskowski said he feels that at least some of the money over the threshold should go back to taxpayers. "I think we have that 60% cutoff for a reason and anything that we’re keeping over above that is, in my head, taking too much away from the taxpayers," he said. "If anything is going to happen with that money, I would like to see that go back into next year's budget in an effort to keep property taxes as low as possible. I think going too much above that becomes dangerous because that extra is on the back of the taxpayers." The commission voted 3-2 to move forward with the proposed budget amendment, with Commissioners Steve Marquardt, Anne Cleary and Zenker voting in favor. Mayor Mike Schmitz and Splonskowski voted against. A public hearing will be held, possibly on Aug. 23. "My concerns around a request coming in from any not-for-profit organization is what our role is and does this become an ongoing request, which I’m afraid it is," Schmitz said. "I’m not sure that’s our role given that there are other not-for-profit organizations who may also want to come to this table for the same thing. That's heartburn for me."

RICHMOND, Va. – The federal government is taking steps to heal the economy as prices for everyday necessities continue to rise. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates another three-fourths of a point. This is the third hike in interest rates in 2022 alone, with the government trying to avoid a recession. But some politicians fear that it is too little too late when it comes to combating inflation. “The most powerful tool that can be used against inflation, and this is whether it’s a Democratic president or a Republican president, is slowly raising interest rates. And I think the FED waited too long,” Senator Mark Warner said. “This is as much an art as it is a science.” The hope is that with increasing interest rates, spending will decline, causing prices of everyday goods to eventually fall.

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. – As summer break soon ends and focus shifts to the new school year, Franklin County Public Schools is in need dire need of help getting students to the classroom. The transportation department for Franklin County Public Schools is down twenty contract drivers. Office staff and mechanics will drive routes to offset the shortage until new drivers are hired, which may time some time – Certifications and hours of specialized training are needed before drivers can go on their routes. Cherie Whitlow, the supervisor of transportation, said routes will be consolidated this Fall, which will create longer routes and more students onboard the buses. Some parents may be asked to drop off and pick up their students, but only in extreme cases. STAR Routes – secondary transportation alternate routes – are also on the table, and Whitlow explained what would happen with the STAR Routes. “We’re asking you to bring them in 10 miles and then we’ll have an elementary driver who will drop at their school by 8,” Whitlow said. “They will run from that elementary school, make the 2-3 stops in town gathering those students and get them to the high school.” The system also needs help with activity bus drivers for sporting events and other extra-curricular activities. To apply, contact Janet Robertson at 540483.5541.

RICHMOND, Va. – Over 30 teens from across the Commonwealth got the unique chance to watch the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team land their helicopter outside the Richmond office. The FBI Teen Academy is a two-day program allowing high school students an opportunity to get a comprehensive look into the functions of the FBI. Students come from all across the state, including a couple from Southwest Virginia. Kayla Cundiff drove from Christiansburg to take part in this year’s academy. She said watching the helicopter touchdown is like a scene from a movie. “Then I looked up and it was coming. And then you see like on TV and stuff all the wind and stuff, but it really, I mean you could see the trees over there it looked like they were about to fall from all the wind,” Cundiff said. Another student, Yesenia Iniguez, is from Lynchburg. She has wanted to be an FBI agent for over two years now. Iniguez said that her anticipation continued to build as they waited for the helicopter to arrive. “Oh my gosh … I was waiting for it and I was like I don’t know where it’s coming from but I know it’s coming. As soon as I saw it up there in the sky I was like yes it’s finally here,” Iniguez said. The FBI continues to reach more students throughout the state – Looking for the next generation of agents is always on their minds. FBI Special Agent in Charge, Stanley Meador, said bringing kids in with unique backgrounds and different perspectives is crucial to the FBI. “I always tell folks when you look about coming to the FBI for a job think about a book versus a pamphlet. Bring us a book of your life versus the pamphlet,” Meador said. Students of the academy are provided with several presentations on topics including terrorism, cybercrime, public corruption, polygraph exams, evidence response, SWAT, and the day-to-day operations of a typical FBI office. And Meador said the students also learn about what it takes to work for the FBI. “What makes a good agent, a good FBI employee whether you’re a professional staff or looking to an agent position is the ability to take initiative,” Meador said. Many of the students who come to the academy have dreams of becoming an agent one day, and the academy often reassures them of that dream. “It definitely pushed further that this is where I want to go with my career,” Cundiff said.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – A new animal rescue in Fort Myers is working to help animal intake numbers in Lee County. Right now hundreds of pets are in need of permanent homes. Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue says many people are unable to adopt or keep pets, as they balance higher food and rent prices. Local shelters and rescues are working together to give each pet a fair chance, but are struggling to find enough help. “The need for fosters is great and we couldn’t find any. No one can find any. Rescues are struggling and so that’s when we decided we needed to go far and go further,” said Sherri-Lee Mercuri, Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue president. The new facility has more than 70 kennels and accommodates mostly dogs. Anyone interested in adopting, fostering, or volunteering is asked to contact the rescue here.

Charlotte man sentenced to jail for Michigan Capitol bomb threat A Charlotte man who pleaded guilty to calling in a bomb threat at the Michigan Capitol has been sentenced to a year in jail, investigators announced Wednesday. Michael Varrone, 49, will be housed at the Ingham County Jail with no possibility of early release, the Michigan Attorney General's Office said in a statement. A judge also ordered him to serve three years' probation and receive mental health treatment, according to the release. “Threatening the lives and safety of our elected officials and innocent bystanders is deplorable,” said Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. “We treat every instance as a serious threat and will prosecute those who perpetrate such crimes to the fullest extent of the law.” Early last year, Varrone was charged with two counts of false report or threat of terrorism, a 20-year felony, as well as a false report or threat of bomb/harmful device, a four-year felony. One of the counts was related to a threatening phone call to state Rep. Cynthia Johnson, prosecutors reported. Authorities allege Varrone called the Michigan House of Representatives six times on Dec. 12, 2020, and on at least one occasion threatened Johnson. The Detroit Democrat was outspoken at a hearing days earlier involving Rudy Giuliani, the personal lawyer of then-President Donald Trump, when he provided testimony and witnesses at a Michigan House Oversight Committee hearing on the presidential election. Varrone threatened to "take over the (expletive) building" and left his first and last name, spelling his last name, according to an affidavit. "If I'm threatened by another senator or anybody like Cynthia Johnson, I'll personally take care of that (expletive) and their whole (expletive) family. There'll be no Johnsons left in Michigan," Varrone said, according to the affidavit. On Jan. 7, 2021, Varrone called a control operator at the state Capitol complex and said everyone needed to evacuate since it was about to explode, officials said. The employee immediately reported the bomb threat to Michigan State Police properties security officers stationed at the Capitol. Authorities searched the premises and determined there was no real threat before reopening the site. The threat came a day after rioters disrupted a joint session of Congress in Washington, D.C., to certify Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election. Varrone told police he was upset with the "current political climate" and the insurrection. He was bound over for trial in August and last month pleaded guilty to false report or threat of bomb/harmful device.

Hope-fest returns to York, suspended by pandemic but revived amid gun violence Shiloh Baptist Church and the City of York are bringing back Hope-fest, with a focus on the community's progress and a reminder that things will get better. "This event is a week-long celebration designed to inspire, ignite, and instill a spirit of hope within our community," chairwoman Janique Walker said in a news release. Hope-Fest started in 2019 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 race riots, which took the lives of Lillie Belle Allen and York Police Officer Henry Schaad. After a two-year break forced by the pandemic, this year's festival will focus on community, culture, and citizenship. Police:Amid city debate over police surveillance, can a quick arrest in one murder change minds? "We have more ethnicities here, a lot more people are moving here from different parts of the country and we want to be able to embrace, enjoy, and grow from that," Pastor Larry Walthour said. He also wants the community to hold on to their hope for change. "We wanted to do something this year to get the youth off the street," Walthour said. "There has been a lot of community violence here, a lot of shootings. Because of the violence, a lot of people are feeling hopeless and we want to instill hope for the next generation." York State Fair 2022:What you need to know about ride inspections The week of Aug. 1-7 is filled with activities, including a movie night at Bantz Park, a basketball championship in partnership with The Kennedy Project, a mentorship program for young men, a community cook-out, a volunteer community clean-up of the west side of the city, and free bus passes and Rutter's gas cards for 100 people. The event also coincides with National Night Out on Tuesday, when police departments and the communities they serve come together for a night of fun. "What we want to see happen after this week of activity is to see York more unified," Walthour said.

Man dies after being trapped under forklift at J & K Salvage A 59-year-old man has died after being trapped underneath a forklift at J & K Salvage in Spring Garden Township on Wednesday. According to the York County Coroner's Office, witnesses said the man was working on the forklift when it suddenly collapsed onto him around 7:40 a.m. Although co-workers at the salvage yard were able to remove the forklift, the man died at the scene from his injuries. His name has not been released, and an autopsy is scheduled for Thursday morning. OSHA is investigating, according to the coroner's office. J & K Salvage did not comment.

Mike Comet is in the midst of his 12th RAGBRAI. He biked all 100-plus miles of "Century Day" on Wednesday. It was unlike any other Century Day. "This was an easier elevation than elevations of past," Comet said. "We had a great tail wind for two-thirds of the day." The ride from Emmetsburg to Mason City was officially 105 miles. Cyclists rolled into Mason City starting early Wednesday morning. Elevation was relatively flat. That was a perk, but the bonus of the day was the weather. Temperatures were around the 60s when Comet, Chris Hamelberg, Matt Markell and Joel Pritchard left Emmetsburg around 7:15 a.m. Wednesday morning. They got into Mason City in the early afternoon. All four are from Champaign, Illinois. People are also reading… "I haven't seen a 100 this flat in a long time," Hamelberg said. Markell was riding RAGBRAI for the first time with this group. "I loved it," he said. "I've ridden several (races) with these guys. The people were so nice." Two riders from Eau Claire, Wisconsin – Amy Rantala and Beth Hougen – were on their first RAGBRAI. Each has an Iowa connection. Hougen is a native of Sioux City, and Rantala's son, Max Savaloja, was on the North Iowa Bulls team that won the Fraser Cup two years ago. "We have been blessed with weather that I don't think anyone will ever be able to believe," Rantala said. "The wind today pushing us in was great. When you were going east-west it was great." The two of them ski for a living, part of a team called Rusty Edges, and are using RAGBRAI as a training method. They signed up for RAGBRAI 2022 two years ago. "By 2022, the pandemic has got to be over," Rantala said. "We've heard so many fun things about RAGBRAI." Century Day is the beast of the trip. It has been optional in years previous, but not this time. Rantala was ready for the challenge of what triple-digit mileage would be like. Hougen embraced the ride. "It is good for you, good training," Hougen said. As first-timers, Hougen and Rantala have a different experience. They are taking in the atmosphere and enjoying the camaraderie with people from across the country. "I'm really impressed with every single town," Hougen said. "How friendly people are. It makes me proud. I'm really tickled." Meanwhile, the four bikers from Illinois aren't taking this week for granted when it comes to bonding. For the most part, they bike as a pack. None of them would trade it for anything. "I love town centers like this," Comet said. Zach Martin is a sports reporter for the Globe Gazette.

Carol Slegh celebrated her 41st RAGBRAI this year, pushing through injuries and surgery to prepare for the weeklong ride. Slegh has participated in RAGBRAI since the seventh annual ride in 1979. "I think I got my first helmet for that ride" Slegh said. Slegh has ridden almost every year since then, and she stayed in the race this year despite knee surgery and multiple injuries during training. "I've ridden about half days this year because of my knee and being out of shape, even though I put 1,000 miles in before coming up here" Slegh said. The first legs of the ride went well. She said with her knee surgery, she hadn't trained enough on hills and had to walk up one slope. The second day Slegh made it through, no walking. People are also reading… "Beautiful weather (Tuesday), though I guess the riders had a headwind at the end. The day before was nice and overcast," Slegh said. "You can plan the best route but the weather can still make it tough." Through the years Slegh has ridden through all types of weather. There was a small shower during dinner last night, but luckily it was after the ride. Other than a bit of wind, Slegh said, the weather has been perfect for a bike ride. She said over the years recovery time has extended. With age and injury, riding across Iowa has become more difficult. But like many riders in RAGBRAI, Slegh continues on, mile after mile.

Sitting on the sidewalk west of East Park on Wednesday was a little lemonade stand run by Addi and Gus. Addi and Gus each have their own half of the stand to learn about sales firsthand. They began by finding a place to set up that was on the RAGBRAI route, at their aunt's house. Each made their own poster promoting lemonade. Addi also had peanut butter and honey sandwiches for sale, while Gus sold his own snacks. Each sat in their chair, one pitcher on each end. Their first customer of the day was a city worker, who helped Addi earn her first dollar. The two were excited for the day, both to see thousands of bicycles ride by and to earn some cash. When asked why they were out selling lemonade, Gus replied, "to make money." His mother laughed, and when asked what he was making money for, Gus replied again, "to buy toys." Gus said he wanted to spend his earnings on a radio controlled car, and Addi wanted to buy a Nintendo Switch. Their mother, on the other hand, had said the two were raising money to buy tickets to Adventureland for vacation, an idea they'd forgotten about in their quest to sell lemonade.

EL DORADO, Kan. (KSNW) — Starting in August, Butler Community College (BCC) will be offering a 16-week Fire Academy. Students in the Fire Academy will earn four certifications and 1/3 of the two-year degree in one semester. “Our Fire Academy is designed to move students through the same progression as our standard one-year or two-year program,” said Zachary Lindsey, the head of Butler’s Fire Science program. “Typically, students attend maybe three days a week. Our Academy students are going to hit it hard. They’ll be working on becoming firefighters four days a week from 9 a.m. to — 4 p.m. It’s intense, and it’s meant to be.” According to BCC, courses include Firefighter 1, Firefighter 2, Hazardous Materials, and Emergency Medical Technician Basic (EMT-B). Butler’s fire training facility is attached to El Dorado Fire Station 2. In the fall of 2021, Lindsey partnered with the City of El Dorado to add a Live Fire Training Prop, a formidable, 1,100-square-foot structure made of five shipping containers stacked two stories high and can be made to emulate a two-story house fire or a basement rescue. “Virtual training is valuable, but putting our students into controlled, live-fire environments is what I want my graduates to leave with,” said Lindsey. “That means the first time they enter a burning home at night. It won’t be the first time they’ve entered a burning structure with loss of visibility. That’s critical in my book.” Students in the Fire Academy will experience fiery, smoky situations in a progression, beginning with elementary and moving to more difficult challenges, according to BCC. For more information about Butler’s 16-week Fire Academy, call Angie Martin at 316-323-6150 or email her at amartin50@butlercc.edu.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A Wichita church has taken over a former hotel just north of Wichita. Word of Life Church is turning the former Best Western at I-135 and 53rd Street North into a church, school, and student dormitory. The church’s Life Prep Academy on North Meridian will move into the new site sometime before the 2023-2024 school year starts. Pastor Rob Rotola Sr. said the college prep school will continue serving kindergarten through 12th-grade students, plus expand its service to international families. The new location will include a dormitory for 160 international high school students, a counseling center, the school, and a large church. Life Prep is also planning to add a gymnasium to the site. Rotola said Life Prep Academy is already the largest international school in the Midwest. Its current preschool through 8th-grade classes includes 375 local children and 150 international students from more than 30 countries. He said parents in other countries choose Life Prep because they want their children to attend an accredited American school so their children can get into a notable college in the U.S. Rotola said the conservative-Christian curriculum attracts some of the “most exotic-type students,” making Life Prep the most diverse private school in Kansas and the seventh in the nation. The church is keeping the property where the school is currently located, 3841 N. Meridian. One of the plans is to expand the child care facility, which only has openings for 99 children. Rotola said they had to turn away day care requests for 300 children last year. They are still determining the best way to use the rest of the building.

LEHIGHTON, Pa. — The pavement is swept, and the stencils are laid to make way for a new interactive walk through the Grove in Lehighton. "I think it is a great idea. This is something for the kids; the grove is meant for the kids," said Lehighton Mayor Clark Ritter. "This is adding to what they can do out here." People with the borough's parks and rec department, with the help of volunteers from My Works Living Unlimited, are painting fun creatures like snakes, caterpillars, and flowers, encouraging kids to get moving while incorporating the ABCs, colors, and numbers. "We have these really great wide walkways and we thought, 'Yeah, that is great. The kids can walk up and down the park through the walkways and interact with the games," said Lehighton council member Autumn. "the kids will be able to hop, skip, jump, leap, walk on a tight rope, and not even know that they are learning in the process, and I think parents will really like that too." The parks and recreation department is adding a splash of color to the walkways and next week they'll be adding more playground equipment. "In addition, we had some grants and budgeting funds we came up with, so we will have a new integrated surveillance here in the grove too." Painting will wrap up Thursday.

CARBON COUNTY, Pa. — The popularity of e-bikes is growing, giving riders an extra boost out on the trails. "As we get older, these legs can't do these hills," said Joe Miller. "We retired to the Pocono area and it's a little hilly up here. The e-bikes afford us the opportunity to get back out on the trail and help us up the hill." But the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) says, "Not so fast." The state agency is looking to put some regulations on the use of e-bikes throughout all of its 121 parks. We found people biking in the Lehigh Gorge State Park near Jim Thorpe who say they welcome the idea. "It depends on how high-speed they are. It's like you're competing with a motorcycle out on the trail or a like a small motorcycle on the trail, and I don't own an e-bike, but it could be a concern if they are going too fast," said William Richards of Summit Hill. DCNR will allow e-bikes on trails already open to bicycles as long as users follow some guidelines: - E-bikes can't go faster than 20 miles per hour. - The motor can't be more than 750 watts and must have working pedals. - If the trail says no bikes, that means no e-bikes either. "A lot of the stuff is common sense, but when you have a lot of people, you have to regulate common sense it seems," said Joe Miller. Others just want families to be safe along the way, whether they're walking or biking the trails. "If they overtake you on a curve or something like that, or if they're not paying attention to you on the path, they could knock you right off your bike." DCNR has a full draft of its proposed regulations, and they want to hear from you Written comments on the draft e-bike policy also are welcome and can be submitted to RA-NR_PolicyOffice@pa.gov. The deadline to submit comments is August 31. Check out WNEP’s YouTube channel.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — New Luzerne County Manager Randy Robertson is addressing another change to the county's elections office. Last December, the county hired Michael Susek as director of elections, but last week he submitted his resignation. It's the second resignation from the position in less than a year. Bob Morgan left his post as election head last September. "There are challenges in the election system, and 50% of the people don't like what you do, and 50% of the people do like what you do," Robertson said. "My hypothesis is, to a large extent, some of the turnover is [due to] the challenges we're seeing on the electoral process." Robertson said the frequent changes may also be the result of salary constraints. The latest change comes just a few months ahead of the general elections. Robertson remains confident in elections staff. "I'm seeing a tremendously diligent core staff who have been trained and have done it before. They will provide flawless service," he said. "Will some try to pick at 'we should've done this' or 'we could've done that?' There's no question in my mind. Will it be a fatal flaw? Absolutely not." The search for a new director of elections has already begun. Robertson said the job will be posted for more than a month, and the county will do what's necessary to find the right candidate. "If we don't have the best that we think is available that we can get for this county, then we'll continue to work as we best can in-house, and we'll get by," he said. "We'll figure it out." Polls open for the general election on November 8. See news happening? Text our Newstip Hotline.

MIDDLEBURG, Pa. — A national traveling memorial paid tribute to Middleburg's former police chief. Tony Jordan died from complications related to COVID-19 last year. Police officers from Snyder and Union Counties escorted the vehicle through Middleburg Wednesday afternoon. The End of Watch Ride pays tribute to law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty. "This is day 57 for us. We are on the road 79 days. We will have a little over 23,000 miles, and we're going to be visiting 268 departments to honor 608 beautiful men and women," said Jagrut Shah, chairman of Beyond the Call of Duty, the nonprofit from Washington that organized the tour. The group is in Middleburg, paying tribute to former Police Chief Tony Jordan, who died from COVID-19 last year. Jordan was believed to have contracted the virus while on duty. "We sincerely appreciate them making us part of their tour. Chief Jordan was a staple, a pillar in the community. That's evident by the turnout here today," said Middleburg Police Chief Mark Bailey. Jordan was on the force for more than 40 years. "It's nice they have this in memory of him, and Beyond the Call of Duty, I want to thank them for coming and all the people who showed up. It's an honor to celebrate," said Tony's brother Gary Jordan. Tony's fiancée Michelle Keister believes he would have been honored to be part of this memorial. "He was not the center of attention. He always took the back seat. He's probably blessing us right now for doing this," Keister said. The trailer features pictures of more than 600 law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty last year. This is the fourth year for the ride. The group was also in Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday to honor a member of the Wilkes-Barre Police Department. Sgt. Christopher Mortensen died last December, also from complications related to COVID-19.

The Dallas Independent School District and first responders trained Wednesday on how they would respond to a school shooting. “We can never stop, never train enough to protect our children in the school district,” said Jerry Cockrell, the assistant chief of Dallas ISD police. Inside the halls of a middle school, police and paramedics practiced their response to a shooting on campus. Officers with the Dallas ISD Police Department, the Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue joined together for the exercise with the events of Uvalde fresh on everyone’s mind. “We want to show the community that we’re taking the responsibility as first responders seriously and that we’re learning as these events unfold around the country,” said Dallas Fire-Rescue Chief Dominque Artis. Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia was asked his thoughts on law enforcement’s response inside Robb Elementary. “It certainly does not coincide with everything that we have learned. We talk oftentimes about everything we will learn with every incident that arises. I’ve yet to see or learn things that we didn’t know in 1999.” Local The latest news from around North Texas. Garcia said training breeds confidence, but response is also a mindset. “At the end of the day we need officers to have it in their hearts, regardless of the amount of training that they have that we are the ones that are supposed to save lives,” Garcia said. Garcia said that message went out to his officers following the shooting in Uvalde and highlighted the quick-thinking actions of a Dallas police officer on Monday who confronted a woman who opened fire inside Dallas Love Field Airport. “The best example I can give you is that all my men and women know what Officer Cronin did [Monday],” Garcia said. “That’s the standard that we’re holding them to.”

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate by three-quarters of a point in an effort to tamp down inflation, according to economists. The central bank’s decision Wednesday to enact its second consecutive 0.75 percentage point interest rate increase follows a jump in inflation to 9.1%. The latest report was released in July, and it shows a new four-decade high in June due to rising prices for gas, food, and rent. Michael Davis, a professor of Economics at the SMU Cox School of Business, said the Fed’s decision Wednesday is an effort to curb inflation and it reflects efforts to slow price gains. The move is significant, but Davis said it’s not unexpected. “The Fed has been signaling for a long time now that they were going to clamp down on the economy because they’re so worried about inflation,” Davis said. “The surprise would have been anything other than the number today.” This is the Fed's fourth rate hike since March. Interest payments many consumers have to make on mortgages or credit cards are often tied to the Fed’s benchmark rate, Davis said. By raising borrowing rates, the Fed makes it costlier to take out a mortgage or an auto or business loan. Consumers and businesses then presumably borrow and spend less, cooling the economy and slowing inflation. “So, when you see this rate going up, you should anticipate that the credit card rate and ultimately mortgage interest rates, car loan rates, those kinds of things will go up too,” Davis said. “People always need to be careful with their money, but especially in the current conditions. These are troubled times, and people need to take that into account when they make buying decisions.” Local The latest news from around North Texas. HOW DOES THE INTEREST RATE AFFECT CONSUMERS? Pashun Starling of Bedford shopped for her family at a Fort Worth grocery store Wednesday. A mom of two, Starling said she has had to be extra attentive on budgeting and spending ever since prices at stores began climbing. “It can be very expensive,” she said. “It’s been pretty stressful. I have to get up in the morning and make a list, you know. Make sure I get everything I need and budget.” Even with a list Wednesday, Starling said she spent about twice as much as she would have liked. The groceries she purchased will likely not be enough to feed her family through the week, she said. “I just bought stuff for the kids. Pizza, cheese, what I was going to make today for us,” she said. She also tends to shop at multiple stores to find the best deals. "Kroger’s, Albertson’s, Walmart, you name it. Whoever has the deals," she said. “I also do coupons. Digital coupons, regular coupons.” Davis said, for the time being, consumers with tighter budgets need to be extra attentive to their spending habits. He said the Federal Reserve typically meets about eight times a year and rates are not adjusted at every meeting. “It’s more common for them to say, ‘eh…the economy is doing this, or that…but we don’t see the need for a big intervention.’ This is a big intervention,” Davis explained. The next meeting is in September.

Federal investigators are asking that two people living in Hawaii under the assumed names of dead Texas children be held without bail. According to government documents, Walter Glenn Primrose and Gwynn Darle Morrison were arrested Friday morning. Government records allege the couple used the identities of babies from Texas who died in the late 1960s to obtain Social Security cards, passports, and driver’s licenses. Bobby Edward Fort, the baby investigators allege was used by Primrose, was born in Dallas, government records indicate. He was born in 1967 and died during that same year. Julie Lyn Montague, the child investigators allege was used by Morrison, was born in 1968 in Burnet, Texas, outside of Austin. She also died shortly thereafter and is buried in Marble Falls. Citing government records, federal investigators allege that in the late 1980s Primrose and Morrison were issued driver's licenses and identification cards with the identities of Fort and Montague. Government documents also allege that Primrose fraudulently enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1994 under Fort's name and remained there until his retirement in 2016. After retirement, investigators said he used that experience to gain employment with a Department of Defense contractor. In a Motion to Detain Defendants Without Bail, federal investigators said Primrose and Morrison are a flight risk. They added that Primrose held a secret clearance and was a highly skilled avionics electrical technician who "would be able to communicate surreptitiously with others if released from pretrial confinement." Investigators also said it is believed that the couple had additional aliases, that Primrose did not report all of his international travel and that a close friend of Morrison's told federal agents that she lived in Romania while it was within the Communist Bloc. Local The latest news from around North Texas. Pictures in court records entered as evidence to support the Motion to Detain showed Primrose and Morrison in uniforms that allegedly belonged to the KGB, the former Soviet Union spy agency. Hawaii News Now, the NBC affiliate in Honolulu, cited an unnamed state department official claiming the couple was actually Russian spies, though those allegations are not listed among the current charges filed by the U.S. Attorney. Both Primrose and Morrison have been charged with aggravated identity theft, lying on passport applications, and conspiracy to commit crimes against the United States, the latter dealing with conspiring with each other to make false or fictitious statements and representations within the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense. A hearing on the Motion to Detain is expected to be held Thursday. Get updates on what's happening in North Texas to your inbox. Sign up for our News Headlines newsletter.

A year ago, the Dallas City Council authorized changing the city limits so a Dallas neighborhood isolated on the other side of a lake from the rest of the city might become part of Grand Prairie instead. New information obtained by NBC 5 indicates Dallas city staff broke off the negotiation over money. The Bella Lagos neighborhood is 250 homes west of Mountain Creek Lake. Dallas emergency and service vehicles must drive through Grand Prairie to get there. The homes have Grand Prairie mailing addresses. Residents say Dallas collects trash and tax money in the neighborhood, but they complain most service delivery is weak. They cite several examples of slow response to past public safety calls. “I can't bring my son back, but you know what, if those minutes could save somebody's life, give them that opportunity,” said Jenny Morgan. Her 21-year-old son JePatrick Morgan Wright was murdered 6 years ago beside a park on the west side of Mountain Creek Lake when it was still part of the city of Dallas. The park land was switched to adjacent Grand Prairie 4 years ago. Local The latest news from around North Texas. Morgan said the border confusion caused a delay in emergency response the day her son was shot. “One of the neighbors did call the police and he said they sent him to Dallas and they rerouted him to somewhere else,” Morgan said. Bella Lagos resident leader Fred Allen said the same delays still occur for emergency calls from the homes that are still in the city of Dallas. And Allen said a Dallas plan to improve service and reduce Bella Lagos resident complaints has not worked. “No, as a matter of fact, services have gotten worse. Considerably worse,” Allen said. After meetings with Bella Lagos residents who supported a border change for their neighborhood, the Dallas City Council on August 25, 2021, approved a resolution that directed the city manager to execute a border adjustment with Grand Prairie. The specific language of that Dallas City Council Resolution made it pretty clear that the change was to occur: SECTION 1. That the city manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute a boundary adjustment agreement with the City of Grand Prairie on behalf of the city. SECTION 2. That the city agrees to the release of a tract of land, along with all extraterritorial jurisdiction pertaining thereto, located west of Mountain Creek Lake and east of Hardy Road in the City of Dallas into the city limits of the City of Grand Prairie. SECTION 3. That the agreement authorized by this resolution shall be ratified by future ordinance, thus effecting an exchange of this tract of land with the City of Grand Prairie. Grand Prairie officials told NBC 5 in June that Dallas broke off negotiation. On June 24, 2022, Dallas spokesperson Catherine Cuellar emailed this statement and said an open records request would be needed for additional detail. “The City of Dallas did not back out of the deal; however, the City of Grand Prairie wanted advance money and guarantees to annex the land without any benefit to the City of Dallas, so there were no further negotiations,” Cuellar’s statement said. Now, NBC 5 has obtained internal email records from the City of Dallas through that open records request which detail the city of Dallas staff objections that stopped negotiations. The Dallas emails said Grand Prairie expected to receive annual tax revenue from the homes, upfront costs, a contingency fund and liability coverage for future erosion issues along Mountain Creek Lake. “We could not move forward under those terms,” said an e-mail message from Dallas Chief Financial Officer Elizabeth Reich to Dallas City Councilman Casey Thomas who represents Bella Lagos. Upfront cost included a switch to a different type of water meters used by the city of Grand Prairie. Allen said the city of Dallas has received many years of tax benefits from Bella Lagos where homes were built between 2007 and 2011. He said Dallas should not expect to receive future benefits if the neighborhood instead becomes part of Grand Prairie which would provide services. “Dallas has not taken care of its business out here, so if we were to go into Grand Prairie, I think it would only be fair that Grand Prairie would receive that money,” Allen said. Grand Prairie’s property tax rate is lower than Dallas and residents would end up paying less than they have. “It would be abundantly clear we’d be better off because we would get the services that we so desperately need out here that the city of Dallas is simply not providing,” Allen said. Jenny Morgan said she hopes the change happens before the next tragedy. “I think they're being greedy. I think they're worried about the dollar more than people's lives,” she said. Councilman Thomas said the issue will be reviewed at a Dallas City Council Quality of Life Committee meeting in August. Grand Prairie Spokesperson Amy Sprinkles said Grand Prairie is still open to talks about the change.

“Many of my best friends are clowns,” Sister Dorothy Fabritze earnestly told the crowd at Sacred Heart Church in Bethlehem Township. On the wall, she projected an old photo of herself, in which she stood grinning next to a man in white makeup and a candy red wig. While clown/nun companionships might seem unlikely, but the pairing is more common than one would expect. Fabritze is part of the Catholic Church’s Circus and Traveling Shows Ministry, missionaries who travel with and provide religious services for circus performers. She conducted this pastoral ministry for 20 years, from 2000-2019, with multiple traveling circuses, such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Roberts Bros. and Circus Vargas. Fabritze visited Sacred Heart on Wednesday afternoon to speak about her religious work and share photos of her life. Fabritze had a different job at each circus she travelled with. Sometimes she was a tent crew member, sometimes a nursery teacher. With Ringling Bros., her job was to open and close the curtain for each act — close to 100 times per show. “I had the best biceps of any sister,” Fabritze said. On top of her official job, she provided a number of religious services for circus employees, including celebrating Mass, and leading Bible studies and prayers. Once, she blessed a circus’s animals, trapeze and trailers with holy water at the request of the owner’s daughter. Fabritze even got special permission from the Vatican to hold the Liturgy of the Eucharist in her trailer. “I called a sister who was staying in Rome and asked her to go to the Vatican and do the official documentation for us,” she said. “Then we were allowed to have the liturgy on the road.” Fabritze, 74, was born in Allentown and educated at St. Elizabeth’s Parish School in Whitehall Township. Called to religious life early, she attended the Aspirancy of the Missionary Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Reading after high school. She spent 16 years early in her career in Papua New Guinea, teaching religious education, training women to be nuns and serving as secretary for Archbishop Karl Hesse. Soon after returning to the U.S., Fabritze was offered the position of traveling with circuses, which she initially turned down. However, after three years, she said “God pursued and convinced [her].” She then raised funds for a truck and trailer, and learned how to operate and maintain the vehicles. Traveling was the most difficult part of Fabritze’s career as a circus nun, she said. With smaller circuses, she set up the show, packed up the tent and relocated to a new location every day of the week. With larger circuses like Ringling Bros., she relocated once a week, but each trip could be 200-300 miles. She slept in a bunk bed — the top bunk — for decades, and worked physically demanding jobs. “If anyone suffers from insomnia, I would highly recommend getting a job at a circus,” Fabritze said. “You’ll never have trouble sleeping again.” Fabritze, who lives in Reading, is now retired from the circus and is the provisional supervisor for the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, an international ministry based in Radnor Township, Delaware County. She looks back on her travels fondly, calling them deeply rewarding. She said that the most touching moment of her career was when a staunch atheist joined her in prayer on 9/11.

Training to prepare first responders for mass casualty and active shooting events will take place Saturday at Springhouse Middle School. The Lehigh County EMS Association will conduct the Rescue Task Force training from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to a news release from the South Whitehall Township Police Department. Crackersport Road will be closed between Buck Trail Road and Springhouse Road because of the training, the release stated, with pedestrians advised to avoid the immediate area around the school. The training will focus on preparing the “integrated response” that would be required among law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and EMS agencies during these events, according to the release. Training organizer Chris Peischl said the drill will have about 100 first responders from across the county focus on practicing going through a dangerous area while being escorted by police in order to rescue people and send them to a hospital, if necessary. “We want people to know we’re doing everything we can to be as prepared to save lives as we can,” he said.

A colony of bees has taken over a small section of Fort Stanwix. The Soldiers Barracks on the East side of the Fort has been temporarily closed down, and while there’s not much to see inside the barracks, the outside is buzzing with activity. The Fort closed down on Sunday for a couple hours, but it’s not really affecting business because admission is free. Park Ranger Kelly Cardwell also sees the invasion as an opportunity. "I think it’s a positive thing because even though you might be allergic to bees, it’s an educational opportunity. We can teach you how to keep yourself safe here. We can teach the kids who come through about the food chain a little bit more." Bees have been around since before the fort was built, and they continue to play an important part in the survival of this country. "Bees are a very important of our ecosystem, of our agricultural landscape, of our economic landscape. A lot of food wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the bees." The temporary closure didn’t ruin the experience of visiting the fort, but California Native Emerson White was hoping to see it all. "Most of the places are like very old, and there’s stuff here that you don’t see regular today." Other visitors like New Hartford Resident Reggie German found the bee invasion intriguing. "To me that’s incredible because you’re taking in nature. You’re not pushing them away. You’re kind of inviting them to your fort, to your town, to your community. Letting them be their own community, so just from somebody that knows nothing about that it sounds very awesome!" Once the bees establish a hive, a beekeeper will come in and relocate the bees, but for now the bees are getting positive attention. Gary Storsberg is visiting from Trenton. "It sounds really sweet that the bees moved in, but no, they’re honey bees I take it, and the way they take the hive once it’s developed right. So the beekeeper will take the hive, and then they’ll prorogate and create more honey, so it’s part of life. The life process." Honor America Days is scheduled to end their celebration with a concert on the lawn of Fort Stanwix, and while the bees are swarming now, Kelly Cardwell says it shouldn’t be a problem for concert-goers. "The band shouldn’t bother the bees. They tolerate all the noises of Downtown Rome anyway, so maybe they’ll just rock out when the concert begins." A beekeeper will be coming in about a week to check up on the bees and make sure they’re not too settled in, and once they’re ready he’ll move them to a new home.

FALMOUTH, Maine — Debbie Cupo was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2021. "That really took me back because I felt wonderful, I didn't feel sick or anything, didn't have any loss of sleep, or energy," Cupo said. She began her treatment at the MaineHealth Cancer Care Network. "My cancer team went into full gear and just embraced me with compassion that I really wasn't quite ready for. They were the best," she added. Of course, Maine is a large state. During her course of chemo and radiation, Cupo realized that not everyone had the easy geographical access to the MaineHealth facilities that she did. "You're coming down every week, every three days," Cupo said. "You're staying for three to five hours, it's a big, big journey, and a lot of expense. Some of the young women I saw worried about their children, who is picking them up at daycare." So, Deb Cupo, a founding member at the Falmouth Country Club, turned her passion for golf into a chance to raise funds that can help people get the treatment they need. That was welcome news to Dr. Scot Remick, the chief of oncology at MaineHealth. "What is so unique about this tournament is that it will bring that kind of personal perspective out to the community, to the residents of Maine," Remick said. "We've had good fortune the past couple of years to recruit the finest doctors I've ever been around," Remick added. "I like to say they're better people than they are excellent docs. And we're growing in many ways." The Women's Member-Guest Day is Thursday, July 28. The goal is to raise $50,000 targeted at breast cancer care. Then on Aug. 21 and Aug. 22, the Drive Fore The Cure golf tournament and gala will be held, with a $100,000 goal to support the MaineHealth Cancer Care Network.

BRUNSWICK, Maine — When E. Faye Butler went to work as the director of the musical “The Color Purple” at Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick, she knew what she was looking for while casting: blazingly talented performers, the kind who make you sit up in your chair. “I was really kind of critical in the audition process,” Butler said. “I like to hire people who are going to do the job I hired them for. I don’t want to have to do their job and tell them every little step to take, every little emotion to feel.” Although Butler is demanding, she gives her performers plenty of encouragement. That’s why she’s been described as being like everyone’s aunt. “Aunt, mom, teacher,” Jaden Dominique, who plays the lead role of Celie, said. “Everything you could ask for in a director.” During auditions, Butler knows what she wants and sets her standards extremely high. She’s not unkind, but she is blunt. “There were lots of people who called me and said, 'I want to do ‘The Color Purple.’ I said you can’t sing it. That was the end of that conversation. And they were friends of mine!” Butler said. “The Color Purple” is at Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick through Aug. 6.

HUEYTOWN, Ala. (WIAT) — Following recent mass shootings, including the one in Uvalde, Texas in May, area law enforcement officers are working to keep everyone safe for the school year ahead. Today’s yearly resource training with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office focused specifically on law enforcement responses to active shooters. The training took place at Hueytown High School. Law enforcement from various jurisdictions completed what they titled ‘single officer response to active shooters.’ Officers were taken through various modules one-by-one throughout the day. The modules placed law enforcement in life-like simulations, allowing them to practice familiar and new techniques they have learned when responding to active shooter situations. “Based on, you know, the information and the different videos they’ve seen, they’ve tried to help adapt to, you know, new ways to keep as many people as we can safe,” said Fultondale Police Department Sergeant, Kenny Philips. Hueytown Chief of Police, Mike Warbrough emphasizes the importance of multiple agencies training together as not every school in Jefferson County has a school resource officer. “Everybody right now is short on personnel,” said Warbrough. So, we can bring people when the sheriff’s office is taking a little longer to get here. They can help us. They can get places sometimes that we can’t get to. It’s paramount that all these agencies train together because when it comes down to it, we’re all here for the same reason.” Warbrough made clear their intentions to protect the public in active shooter situations. He says they focus not only on prioritizing the safety of civillians in trouble, but also on the safety of all law enforcement involved. “We are training as hard as we can,” said Warbrough. It’s very important. The kid’s safety here is very important. Other businesses, churches, it’s very important to all of us, and that’s why we come together.” Although today’s training took place in a school building, Warbrough says this training will apply to any active shooter situation that may occur within the community.
