U.S. Steel made $978 million in the second quarter, or $3.42 a share. That was down slightly from the $1 billion, or $3.53 per share, it made during the second quarter of last year, but it was still a record-setting quarter financially. The Pittsburgh-based steelmaker made a record $1.1 billion in second-quarter adjusted net earnings, or $3.86 per share. It also pulled a record second-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 billion. “As we continue to demonstrate the execution of our strategy, it is timely to reflect upon just how much progress we’ve made over the past twelve months, exhibiting continued record safety performance, generating nearly $6.7 billion of adjusted EBITDA and over $4 billion of free cash flow, building over $3 billion of cash, and returning nearly $850 million to stockholders, including July's buyback activity," President and CEO David Burritt said. U.S. Steel repurchased $400 million of its stock in the second quarter and has repurchased $127 million in the third quarter. It announced a new $500 million stock buyback authorization. “The well-timed acquisition of Big River Steel created a best-in-class sustainable Mini Mill segment representing nearly 30% of U. S. Steel’s domestic flat-rolled steel EBITDA over the past 12 months," Burritt said. "We invested in state-of-the-art electric arc furnace steelmaking through challenging energy dynamics, and our tubular segment is now profitably serving the resurging oil and gas markets." He said the company's Slovakian operations "are navigating challenging conditions and continuing to implement resiliency plans and cost mitigation actions in the event of continued economic slowdown in the region.” In the second quarter, U.S. Steel's flat rolled segment, which includes Gary Works and the Midwest Plant in Portage, made $777 million in net income, up from $579 million in net income during the same period last year. Burritt said the company is "bullish" on its future. “While some consumer-oriented markets like automotive and appliance are softer, line pipe and energy demand is accelerating. We have demonstrated a commitment to achieving and maintaining a strong balance sheet, a supportive debt maturity profile, and a balanced approach to capital allocation," he said. "We are a ‘show me’ story, which gives us the opportunity to continue to consider our stock as an attractive investment. Through passion and perseverance, we look forward to demonstrating the power of our strategy and the improvement in the value of our company.” NWI Business Ins and Outs: Southlake Mall restaurants, Morkes Chocolates, Pandora Jewelry and Junkluggers of Greater NW Indiana opening Coming soon Coming soon Historic roots Many different sweets A place where people are going to be motivated to try every single different piece of chocolate Joseph S.

CROWN POINT — A Chicago man admitted Thursday he struck two police cars during a chase last year in Lake Station. Dandre M. Hunter, 27, pleaded guilty to two counts of battery by means of a deadly weapon, a level 5 felony. Level 5 felonies typically carry a sentence of one to six years, but Lake County prosecutors agreed to a cap of four years on each count. If Lake Criminal Court Judge Natalie Bokota accepts Hunter's plea agreement, defense attorney Kirk Marrie and Lake County Deputy Prosecutor Doug Shaw will argue the length of Hunter's sentence at a hearing set for Sept. 13. He could face one to eight years. Hunter admitted in his plea agreement he was driving a silver Buick with no rear license plate that was stopped Jan. 31, 2021, in the area of Central Avenue and Howard Street obstructing traffic. Hunter fled from officers when they attempted a traffic stop and intentionally struck a Lake Station officer's patrol vehicle, records state. As more police officers joined the chase, Hunter spun the Buick around and accelerated head-on into another officer's patrol car, according to court documents. Both officers suffered soreness to their bodies as a result of being struck, and one cut his finger. The Buick Hunter was driving had been reported stolen in a carjacking in Chicago, police said at the time of Hunter's arrest.

CROWN POINT — A 20-year-old man was wanted Thursday on charges exchanged punches with another man and shot him in the face last month in Gary. Michael A. Jackson, of Gary, was talking to a 34-year-old man June 24 in an alley behind the 2200 block of Pennsylvania Street when the conversation turned physical, according to Lake Criminal Court records and police. Jackson opened the door of a sedan he was riding in, grabbed a gun, turned and shot the man in the face, according to court documents. After firing the shot, Jackson picked up his spent shell casing, put it in his pocket and left the area, records allege. The 34-year-old man fled to a residence, where a person called 911 for him. He was unable to speak to police when they arrived because of the extent of his injuries. The man initially was taken to a local hospital and was later flown to the University of Chicago Medical Center in Chicago for treatment. He suffered a bullet entry wound to his right cheek, damage to his tongue and multiple teeth, and an exit wound near his chin, court records said. Jackson was charged Tuesday with felony counts of aggravated battery, battery by means of a deadly weapon and battery resulting in serious bodily injury. Jackson was last known to be in Gary, police said. Anyone with information about his immediate whereabouts is asked to call 911. Those with information about Jackson's possible whereabouts are asked to call Detective Sgt. Douglas Drummond at 219-881-1210. To remain anonymous, call 866-CRIME-GP.

INDIANAPOLIS — A local nonprofit wants to put an end to childhood sexual abuse. Abundant Life Institute will host a "Unity Gala" on Sunday, July 31, to bring awareness to the issue. The theme is "All Boots on Deck." "We are uniting service professionals to come together as a united force against childhood sexual abuse," said Tonya Hill, executive director for Abundant Life Institute. The event will bring awareness to the issue, and help the organization raise money. "We've learned that when we work with someone who has a substance abuse problem, mental health problems, homelessness, domestic violence, re-entry crime problems, youth who are struggling ... the common denominator for most of these people have been that they have trauma associated with childhood sexual abuse," said Hill. Gloria Haynes, a certified peer recovery coach, is one of several being honored at the Unity Gala. Haynes also works for the Regenstrief Institute as a research assistant focusing on lowering the infant mortality rate. "There are a lot of the participants in this study that have experienced trauma in the way of sexual abuse as a child," said Haynes. "When a child experiences sexual abuse they tend to lean toward substances to numb the feelings of that. The substances are used as a coping mechanism to block out those memories." Haynes and Hill want the public to know there is help available. "Prevention is possible," said Haynes. "If parents or family members are uncomfortable talking to youth about this you can reach out and seek help from a mental health provider or other agencies to help start this dialogue within your family." "If we come together as a united front, I believe we will be more impactful and effective in the services that we provide the people we serve and we'll see greater success," said Hill. The Unity Gala is from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on July 31 at Community Life Center, 10612 E. Washington Street in Indianapolis. Tickets are still available to attend the event for $40. Dinner tickets have sold out. Click here for more information.

Michael Herrera, owner of Phil's Small Engine Repair on Ammon Road, will be impacted by the blocked portion of the road. Herrera worries that the construction will harm business. Michael Herrera, owner of Phil's Small Engine Repair on Ammon Road, will be impacted by the blocked portion of the road. Herrera worries that the construction will harm business. Ammon Road will be closed Monday between 49th Southand Sunnyside Roadstarting at 7 a.m. and continuing for approximately two months. This section of road will be closed for a sewer line extension project. The extension project is an effort to prepare for new housing developments within the city. But some residents and business owners in the construction zone have voiced concerns about what they perceive as a lack of communication about the work and its impact. Knife River, an MDU resources company, was awarded the project with a bid of $1.2 million. "They are installing a new 24-inch sewer line in preparation for new developments along the road," said James Hammer, project manager and estimator for Knife River. "The current sewage system would not work for larger developments." The intersection ofAmmon Roadand 49th South will not be impacted during this closure. "Traffic should be able to flow through the intersection at Ammon and 49th … but between 49th and Sunnyside will be closed to all public traffic," Hammer said Construction will last all of Augustand a majority of September with access to the road only being available for the owners of homes on the road, Hammer said. "(Residents)will be able to access their homes," Hammer said. "But the road will be closed to all public traffic." Michael Herrera, owner of Phil's Small Engine Repair, was concerned that he hadn'treceived more information about access to the road. Herrera owns a business on the section of road that will be closed. "I hope that they let my customers through," Herrera said. "I have to keep working, people need to pick up their property, they can't just block my business." Other residents on the street also are concerned about the construction work'seffects. Margaret Holmes has owned her home on Ammon Roadfor more than 50 years. "I have heard rumors that they might have to dig up lawns; I would be really frustrated if that happened," Holmes said. "It's already going to be inconvenient, but that would be terrible." The city of Ammon has asked for drivers to "please be cautious while in the area and choose alternate routes at this time." Knife River will close off the road northof 49th South for construction for two months working on 4,000 feet of sewer line. There will also be 1,000 feet of sewer lineplaced south of 49th South. That work will add a month onto the construction timeline. The total project is estimated to cost $1.2 million and last around three months, Hammer said.

BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — Bexar County is receiving federal dollars to address affordable housing. Staff have been directed to decide how $20 million from the American Rescue Plan Act will be spent to address the issue. Local advocacy groups are hoping it can help some of the most vulnerable populations in San Antonio. At the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center on the west side, Kayla Miranda fights for those families on low or fixed incomes. “I’m still in public housing and I’m one of them. I’ve walked a mile in their shoes,” Miranda, the housing justice coordinator said. She has experienced her own housing difficulties over the years. “We were living in our car for about a year and a half, car, motel one month when we could afford it,” Miranda said she had to leave her job due to one of her sons having epilepsy and autism. She learned about the Esperanza Center after facing another setback. “In 2019 I was evicted for pet fees that were assessed to my account about $1,200, and at the time my rent was $168,” Miranda said. The Esperanza Center is hoping they can receive money to help west-side families like Miranda’s. The plan for the $20 million is currently in the works and it’s not clear when it could be presented to the county commissioners. Several people signed up to speak at the last commissioners court meeting to express how deep-rooted the housing issue is. “I’m able to pay rent for 30 years; I’m able to pay for a house,” Araceli Herrera, leader of the group Domesticas Unidas said through a translator. Miranda hopes those solutions will help the poorest families in the area. “There are a lot of people still making $8 or $9 an hour in San Antonio, and I can tell you, they can’t afford it,” Miranda said.

A former Marine on Long Island has been accused of recruiting for a neo-Nazi group and planning an alleged attack on a synagogue, with the heinous plan involving illegal guns, tactical gear and raping women. Matthew Belanger, the 25-year-old facing federal weapons violation in the disturbing allegations, is the leader of the hate group that at times trained in the woods on Long Island, federal officials said. Belanger once lived in the Suffolk County town of Selden. Some of the disturbing details showed that Belanger’s group talked of attacking a synagogue and sexually assaulting women to "reduce the number of minority residents in the U.S.," according to court documents. Prosecutors said that the group had racist ideologies and a desire to inflict violence on Jewish people and other minority groups. "What’s the problem with Jewish people, with minorities, that we’re gonna rape and kill and burn (them)? There’s some screw loose. There’s something wrong," said one woman who didn't want to share her identity, but said she knew Belanger before his family left Long Island. Federal prosecutors said Belanger used Facebook accounts to conspire with others to commit hate crimes. He allegedly authored a hate group manifesto that read in part, "to be successful in this battle for survival, the white man must learn to hate," according to the federal criminal complaint. The Anti-Defamation League reacted to his arrest with a tweet saying they were "horrified to read about the alleged racist, antisemitic & violently misogynistic plots by a #NY man and reported member of a neo-Nazi group." The charges against Belanger detail how he allegedly worked with an unnamed New York police officer to illegally buy an assault rifle and pistol for himself through a now-closed gun shop in Port Jefferson Station. News The arrest was announced as Nassau County police investigate the delivery of antisemitic flyers in 3 communities. Belanger appeared before a federal judge in Hawaii, where he served as a Marine. He pleaded not guilty to weapons charges, and was ordered held without bail. He faces 20 years in prison if convicted. His lawyer did not immediately respond to request for comment.

SAN ANTONIO — Dozens of San Antonians walked in with resumes and left with new careers at Edgewood Independent School District on Thursday. Anthony Arguello is Edgewood ISD’s newest automotive Career and Technical Education teacher. “I used the QR code and signed in – very fast – sat down, within minutes I was speaking with representatives from the district,” Arguello said. “We discussed my position, my work experience, and I ended up with my dream job.” He may not have realized what he was walking into, but he was exactly what they were looking for in an employee. "I said, 'Oh, my God, you have no idea how happy I am to see you,'” said Edgewood ISD's Director of Recruitment and Hiring Patricia Mendoza. “And I told him, I said, 'You're like a gem for Edgewood,'" she said. Arguello has been teaching elementary for four years, but says he sees himself teaching older students. "Transitioning from a younger age group to this age group has been the next step. I wanted to see myself going through. I expected it to maybe be a five-year plan. And it happened instantly right now." Especially because it means he gets to work in the passion for automotive work he picked up from his father. "My dad was a huge influence,” he said. “It's a big passion of all of us, it's a family thing." He came in during the morning session while they were hiring positions like bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers and police, but Mendoza said the type of teaching position he was looking for is particularly hard to fill. "But since he showed up during this time, we jumped on it,” Mendoza said. "We didn't want to let him go. And we didn't. We hired him." Mendoza said they have been enticing teachers in with the pay structure the Edgewood ISD board just approved. Entry-level teachers with no prior experience will be earning $58,000 a year. As a bilingual teacher, Arguello will also qualify for an additional $8,000 stipend to be paid over two years. If you missed this one, Edgewood ISD is holding another job fair on Saturday August 6 at EISD Fine Arts Academy. You can find more information here.

From a location that by any measure is considered small, Herman Brown thinks he has a pretty good vantage point of the bigger picture. “With the recent prices in food going up and things like that, business has been kind of slow.” It’s something any business owner and cook, and Brown is both, notices. He opened Tha Neighborhood Kitchen at the height of the pandemic. Two years later, he says his little soul food place in Joppa is facing a new challenge. “The economy right now, gas prices and the feds going up on percentage of the dollar, people are not spending like they used to,” Brown said. Brown says to stay open in an area with few restaurants, he works to keep costs low. Payroll is manageable because he and his business partner Katrina Cheney are the employees. “The store prices are way up,” Brown said. “Our supply chain tries to work with us,” he says. But Brown adds his small business doesn’t have the purchasing power of larger buyers so he has limited leverage. Local The latest news from around North Texas. Numbers out Thursday reveal a contracting economy nationwide for the second consecutive three-month period. Most economists say a reduction in the gross domestic product (GDP) alone doesn’t equate to a recession just yet but it’s close. Back at the Tha Neighborhood Kitchen, customers like Mavis Polk say he’s noticing signs of a possible recession too but is dedicated, for his love of good food, to keep spending here. “It’s a neighborhood business,” Polk said. “I like to keep the money into the neighborhood as well.”

BRADENTON, Fla. — A Sarasota non-profit is expanding its housing program into Manatee County to help those dealing with homelessness. Second Heart Homes just secured its seventh home, this time in Bradenton. The home is a four-bedroom house with a shared living room and kitchen to help those struggling with homelessness and addiction have a place to start putting their lives back in order. "So this is the new house," Tony McFadden, a nursing student at USF who was formerly homeless, said. "This is the living room, we have set up and things are a little bit under construction." McFadden who is 35 years old has been in recovery from a decade of marijuana and alcohol addiction. He said he picked up substance abuse when he was in high school and it led him down the wrong path. He would stay with friends or family when he didn't have a place to sleep but later ruined those relationships. "I started to experience mental health issues and then slide to homelessness and not finding, what's the word, gainful employment," McFadden said. Now with the help of Second Heart Homes, which is assisting a total of 43 men and women to stay off the streets, McFadden not only has a job, and a roof over his head, but he has also been sober for nearly a year. A $300,000 grant from the Barancik Foundation helped purchase the home which would house only men while the organization works on ways to assist women in the county. "I never had the opportunity to just do the dishes and make my bed and actually have a place to sit down and read a book," McFadden said. "It made me feel very excited to know that I am bettering myself." "I think through COVID we're about to experience a significant increase in homelessness like we've never seen before," Founder of Second Heart Homes Megan Howell said. Howell said there's a huge need for affordable and mental health housing in the area. According to statistics from the group's research, homelessness in Manatee County is up 25% with around 65% of those being homeless for the first time. "What we provide is so much more than a house," Howell said. "It's a stable environment where we can focus on what the individual needs to live a productive and purposeful happy and safe life." Full-time case managers help the clients navigate daily challenges, accomplish academic or career goals, and work towards self-sufficiency. "Realizing that I have the opportunity now to just sit down and have a little space to myself, to be with God, and to just experience safety has changed how I look at things a lot and makes me more excited to achieve my goals," McFadden said. Last year, the group helped 12 women who struggled with homelessness and mental health challenges move into a home in Sarasota. The organization has plans to acquire more homes in different parts of the community to lend a helping hand where it's needed the most. In the meantime, the Manatee County Government is in negotiations with the design team, HDR, to convert the old jail into a shelter for homeless veterans. A county spokesperson said the company has requested access to existing plans and specifications for the building to assist with their preparation of a design proposal which would be presented to the county commissioners.

(WJHL) — Floodwaters were receding in both Wise and Dickenson counties as of Thursday evening, according to emergency officials. Wise County EMA Director Jessica Swinney said water had receded in areas that were under evacuation and people were able to return to their homes. She said the evacuations were voluntary. Eight people were rescued from the water in Pound. In Dickenson County, between 35 to 40 homes were damaged in the floods, according to Sheriff Jeremy Flemming. While the damage was limited, floodwaters caused debris to pile up against homes, ripped siding off some homes, and flooded basements. VDOT crews were seen removing debris from roadways. Flemming said some homes in Dickenson County won’t have power until Friday evening. “We have had some power outages. AEP is currently working on restoring the power for the area. Estimated time is about 5 o’clock tomorrow evening,” Flemming said. With more rain possible overnight, there are concerns about more flooding.

MCKINNEY, Texas — A Dallas man accused of repeatedly stalking his ex-wife, including changing his appearances while he did so, was sentenced to 20 years in prison this week, prosecutors announced. Damon White, 50, was convicted on charges of burglary, stalking, repeated violation of a protective order and criminal mischief, according to a news release from the Collin County District Attorney's Office. The release said White stalked and harassed his wife after their 2019 divorce and then received probation. While on probation in 2021, he continued to harass his ex-wife and her family, at one point White "issued a graphic threat to kill the victim" over the phone, the release said. Police tried to find White, but he cut off his GPS leg monitor, which was part of his probation terms. Authorities eventually found White's vehicle in Allen, and police relocated the victim and her family to a safe area. White was arrested on Oct. 30 on a new stalking charge. When he was taken into custody, he had changed his appearance, cutting his hair and dying his hair beard, officials said. While White was being sentenced, prosecutors had evidence from his cell phone, which included "harassing text messages" to his ex-wife and Google searches for "spying on someone's phone" and "reverse license plate search." Judge Angela Tucker sentenced White to 20 years in prison, the maximum allowed by law. “This stalker used probation as an opportunity to make life hell on earth for his ex-wife," District Attorney Greg Willis said. "He inflicted years of harassment and threats and made her feel unsafe wherever she was, including in her own home."

MCDONOUGH, Ga. — Residents in over 100 units at a McDonough apartment complex said they have lived without working air conditioning units for about a week. Gemecious Watkins, a resident at Sable Chase Apartments, reached out to 11Alive and said their issues are not being fixed in a timely manner and they feel stuck. Watkins said he has lived at the apartment complex for over four years. He said the AC issues began with a power outage on July 20. "When the power was restored in our neighborhood, I guess it sent such a power outage to a lot of the apartments that it knocked out the AC," Watkins said. Watkins reached out to several city officials, including McDonough Mayor Sandra Vincent. Vincent said she's in the process of coordinating with the property manager's office to create a food pantry among other efforts to help residents. Georgia Power also responded to the claims. In a statement to 11Alive, Georgia Power confirmed that an equipment problem at a substation caused the power outage at Sable Chase Apartments. The company said they are working with the apartment complex to resolve any power-related issues. See Georgia Power's full statement below. "An equipment problem at a Georgia Power Substation recently caused a power outage at the Sable Chase Apartments complex. We recognize how challenging an outage can be – especially in the summer heat. That's why our crews work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Last Wednesday, Georgia Power crews responded and restored power within several hours to the apartment complex. We are in contact with the complex to better understand their continuing concerns and are working with them to resolve any power-related issues. As always, if customers have any questions related to their electrical service, they should contact Georgia Power at 888-660-5890." Chair of Henry County Board of Commissioners Carlotta Harrell said Henry County Code enforcement has been out at the complex and that they will continue to cite the complex's property manager every day until the AC issue is fixed. As of Thursday, 93 units are still without AC. The apartment complex has been working to get portable AC units to elderly residents and those sick first. So far, it has purchased 15 units. Henry County is offering elderly residents the option to stay at its senior homes during the day, offering free transit transportation to take them there and back. The county is also extending the same opportunity for kids to hang out at its complex facilities. Additionally, Harrell said nonprofit organizations in the county have also provided gift cards, water and other supplies to the residents. Harrell will be at the apartment complex Friday to talk to the property manager. This is a developing story. Check back often for new information.

DANVILLE, Va. – People living in a Danville apartment complex are on edge. Police are still searching for the gunman in Wednesday night’s deadly shooting at Woodside Village. Darick Richardson II, 23, died Thursday morning after being shot several times in the parking lot at the complex. Police were back in the area to help comfort neighbors that afternoon. However, many said it was just a matter of time before something like it happened again. “I don’t really come outside a whole lot because there is a lot of fighting, arguing and just craziness going on in the parking lot most days,” one neighbor, Holley Hooker, said. Hooker moved to the Woodside Village Apartments at the end of April and said that it isn’t the first time there’s been a shooting at the complex, but this one was a little too close. “Me and my neighbor were sitting in our cars right next to each other. We were just on our phones kind of minding our business. There were some guys out in the parking lot, but they didn’t sound like they were arguing,” Hooker said. “We didn’t pay no mind to it. Everything was completely fine. Then out of nowhere, gunshots just start going off.” Fearing she’d be caught in the crossfire, Hooker ran inside to hide. It wasn’t until later that she learned the news about her neighbor’s passing. “A lot of anxiety, people have problems sleeping and fear that they’re going to be a victim when things happen,” Danville Police Department’s Captain Steve Richardson said. “When we know that these incidents are not random acts we want to get that out.” On Thursday afternoon, police took a HEART – healing and engaging after recent trauma – walk around the complex to offer resources to neighbors in need. “We’re making sure everyone has the facts and gets their questions answered, not hearing things on the street,” Captain Richardson added. “We want to be transparent with everyone out here about what’s going on.” And while police said this is the first homicide at the complex, they said they’re no stranger to the area – something neighbors would like to change. “I was just scared. Mainly because we have small children,” Hooker said. “My daughter isn’t even two yet. Stuff like that is scary especially when it happens right there.” Police are asking anyone with information or video from Wednesday night’s shooting to reach out to them so that they can find the person responsible.

BLOOMINGTON — A 31-year-old woman is charged with several felonies after authorities said she battered multiple police officers on Tuesday. Prosecutors said police were called to an apartment unit in the 700 block of Douglas Street after a resident there reported a violation of a protective order. An assistant state's attorney said Angela M. Owens, of Bloomington, was served the order on June 21, and was first charged for violating it Thursday, July 14. He said Owens was released after that violation on the condition she have no contact with the victim. The prosecutor said the victim called police on Monday to report that he believed Owens was at his residence again, and officers saw through a window that she was inside the apartment. He said Owens refused to come out to talk to police, and they left. On Tuesday, the assistant state's attorney said police returned, and the victim unlocked his apartment for them. Authorities said officers found Owens barricaded in a bathroom, and police talked with her for 30 minutes, negotiating with her to come out. Police eventually forced their way into the bathroom, the prosecutor said, where they smelled a strong order of bleach. He said Owens then began throwing objects and bleach liquid at the officers, and they were struck by both. He said bleach landed in the eyes of one officer, who felt a burning sensation in them. As police tried to arrest Owens, the assistant state's attorney said, Owens swung her arms and tried pulling away; she also kicked an officer twice in the leg. Owens is charged with four counts of aggravated battery to a police officer, a Class 2 felony, and two counts of violating an order of protection, a Class 4 felony.

Concrete manufacturer Unilock will establish a manufacturing campus in Hanover County, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced on Thursday. The Toronto-based company will spend $55.6 million to establish up to four new production facilities at 17000-17500 Washington Highway in Doswell, according to a state news release. The project will create 50 new jobs. Youngkin signed off on a $340,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Development Opportunity Fund, a “deal-closing” fund used at the governor’s discretion to land company locations or expansions in Virginia, for the project. The fund is intended to offset or reimburse costs such as site acquisition, utility extension or training. People are also reading… Virginia competed against Georgia and Maryland for the Unilock project. The 17-year-old also is charged providing false information during a criminal investigation. “When international manufacturers like Unilock choose Virginia, it reinforces our competitive advantages like access to key markets, sophisticated infrastructure, and a high-quality workforce,” Youngkin said in a statement. “The Commonwealth’s advanced manufacturing sector continues to play a significant role in our economic vitality, and we are honored to add this impressive company to the roster as it establishes a new campus in Hanover County.” Hanover welcomes @UnilockLife! The Toronto-based hardscape manufacturer has announced plans to invest $55.6 million to establish a #mfg campus in #HanoverVA, and create 50 new jobs. Thank you to our partners @grpva and @VEDPVirginia!

Thankfully, Doswell checks all the boxes. Our experience with both the county and state officials has been remarkable both in professionalism and cordiality. We look forward to a long relationship as a great business and contributor to the community.”

Jennifer McNinch announced Thursday that she’s running for the Midlothian seat on the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors. She’s the second candidate to publicly join the race. In a statement, she described herself as a “mother, businesswoman, and community leader who has been a life-long conservative.” The first was Tara Carroll, who filed her intent to run the first week of July and currently serves as the interim Midlothian board member. Both are Republicans, like most of the board and Leslie Haley, who was the Midlothian supervisor before she resigned to take a job at the Virginia Attorney General’s Office in early June. People are also reading… Haley’s departure moved the board to approve a petition for a special election on Nov. 8 that would allow residents to choose who will take over the Midlothian seat for the remainder of Haley’s term, which expires December of next year. McNinch was born in North Carolina on the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and grew up in Tennessee before moving to Leesburg. She settled in Chesterfield and now works as the division director for a government contract managing a $12.6 million budget, according to a release. On her website, which went live on Thursday, McNinch vowed to oppose the “implementation of Critical Race Theory and other radical curriculum in our schools” but did not provide further examples outside of voicing a commitment to ensuring schools are a place where “our children learn and explore ideas.” Critical race theory is a graduate-level concept asserting that legal systems have upheld racial inequalities in the U.S. but was denounced by the all-white, predominantly Republican Chesterfield School Board — which presides over a majority non-white student population — in 2021, a year after condemning racism. With a daughter in Chesterfield County Public Schools, McNinch said she began regularly attending School Board meetings to be involved in policy decisions. In an online public comment form last August, McNinch urged School Board members to vote against the mask mandate because people should have a choice on whether to wear one or not — mirroring the major platform of “parental rights” that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin ran on. The latest candidate for the Midlothian seat also promised to stand by law enforcement, create more business opportunities across the county, and work to reduce the “tax and regulatory burden” on residents. “As a mom, I want our children to grow up in a safe county with the best funded and trained Sheriff’s Office and Police Department, the most economic opportunity, and the best schools,” McNinch said in a statement. “I may not be a political insider with connections to the party bosses, but I believe that my friends and neighbors are looking for a choice in who represents them, not to have someone appointed for them.” Carroll was appointed by Chesterfield supervisors at the end of June following a speedy and unanimous vote. Her first board meeting was on Wednesday night. The interim Midlothian supervisor comes from a politically active family, was the chair of the Chesterfield County Republican Committee from 2018 to 2020 and has represented Virginia’s 1st Congressional District, which is served by Republican Rep. Rob Wittman, in the State Central Committee. “Chesterfield County has been my home since 1982,” Carroll said in a statement. “Throughout this time, I have watched our county leaders make smart investments in our education system and public safety sector, while simultaneously fostering a pro-business environment.” Only one of the two candidates will be nominated for the Republican ballot for the special election on Nov. 8. Early voting starts at the end of September. The Chesterfield County Republican Committee’s canvass will elect the Republican nominee on Aug. 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Midlothian High School. This means only one of the two candidates will be nominated to appear on the Republican ballot for the Nov. 8 special election. Early voting starts at the end of September.

Dozens of children took a break from the summer fun to make art that will add to an influx of public art in the community. The children came to Coos Head Food Co-Op on Thursday to participate in a project coordinated by the co-op and the Coos Watershed Association. The young artists painted different animals in the Coos watershed and the paintings will be permanently displayed on the fence near the co-op. Jamar Ruff, community organizer with the co-op, said mixing art with education was the goal Thursday. “We were looking at where we wanted and how to have some art and make it educational as well,” he said as he helped supervise the event. We were inspired by the school in Elkton, where they have fish painted by the students.” Ruff said he decided to partner with the watershed association, and the idea took off from there. “It’s happening today, and we’ve had all the kids,” he said. By 2 p.m., midway through the event, Ruff estimated 50 children had come out to paint at the event. Alexa Carlton, outreach and marketing manager with the watershed association, was thrilled to see the turnout. “We really love the idea of getting a bunch of Coos Watershed creatures up as artwork,” she said. “Every piece was chosen because it is something living in our watershed.” The animals being painted included salmon, crab, deer and Carlton’s favorite, the mayfly. “We’re pleasantly surprised,” she said while watching the children paint. “It worked out great. Any chance we can teach science through art, it’s a great opportunity.” Ruff said he impressed with the knowledge the children brought as they came to paint. “Surprisingly, a lot of the kids came out and said, ‘that’s a mayfly or that’s a salmon,’” he said. Carlton said after the painting event Thursday, the artwork would be treated to be safe from the weather and then permanently attached to the fence separating the co-op from its parking lot.

The fifth grader with a streak of blue in her hair was just trying to win a friendly race when she found herself in the path of the car. Sage Stanley had challenged her younger brother Ian to a first-to-the-other-side contest at the 13th Street crosswalk in front of Saratoga Elementary School. It was the start of another school week in late September — fall was a couple of days away — and Jade Stanley had dropped off her kids a couple of blocks away and let them walk to school. But before the race could begin, the two siblings pressed the crosswalk button and waited. “It was all proper on their end,” she said. When the signal changed, Sage beat her brother into the street — and into the direct line of a 2007 Hyundai Elantra that blew through the red light. "Surprisingly, she didn't break anything," Jade Stanley said. "She had a couple of bad gashes on her face. ... The side that had gotten hit (had) a lot of marks and road rashes, scrapes, bruises. She was in a lot of pain for that next week, especially the first few days." People are also reading… While Sage, who was 10 years old at the time, wasn't seriously injured, the moment scarred her and fourth grader Ian, who witnessed the Sept. 20 crash. "That phone call was terrible," said their mother, who still gets emotional thinking back on it. "It was so scary seeing the ambulance down the road trying to get her." The crash in part prompted Lincoln Transportation and Utilities to enact a number of improvements to the school's traffic zone in hopes of creating a safer environment for pedestrians and motorists alike, Transportation Planner Roberto Partida said. The changes include shortening the 13th Street crosswalk by merging two lanes of southbound traffic and extending a bike lane from South Street to Saratoga Avenue, the street just south of the school. Reflector poles will delineate the crosswalk to motorists, too. "Anytime we can take students and children out of the path of traffic, it's a great way to improve safety," Partida said. The city is also reducing the speed limit at pick-up and drop-off times from 25 mph to 20 mph, and the posted speed limit on 13th Street from South Street to Stillwater Avenue will go from 35 mph to 30 mph. The 16-year-old girl driving the Elantra was going the speed limit at the time of last year's crash, but was cited for running the light. New reduced-speed flashers will be installed for drivers heading south on 13th Street just before South Street. And, as part of the improvements, street workers will construct curb ramps and install a crosswalk at 11th Street and Saratoga Avenue to the southwest of the school. The enhancements are expected to be ready for the start of the school year Aug. 15. The city's transportation department is in the continuous process of reviewing and updating all school zones, Partida said, especially when roadway projects are planned in the area. But last September's put a focus on Saratoga. "We really made a cognizant effort to go to the community and hear their thoughts on things," he said. Each school has a designated area where parents are encouraged to safely drop off their children, said Lincoln Public Schools Security Director Joe Wright. At newer elementary schools, long drives away from the street allow parents to drop off their children directly in the front of the building. But at older schools -- like Saratoga -- it's usually just a side street that abuts the school with a drop-off lane. "The old schools are kind of surrounded by the city already," Wright said. "You can't change that city infrastructure. You can't build new streets or add lanes." At Saratoga, parents are told to drop off and pick up their children at the southwest corner of the school going west on Saratoga Avenue, said Principal Marci Imel. Jade Stanley originally dropped off her children there for breakfast at 7:45 a.m. But when the pandemic hit, breakfast service was temporarily halted and children could not show up until 8 a.m., so she started dropping them off a couple of blocks away so they didn't arrive early. The family used to live close to Saratoga and were used to walking to school, but after her daughter was hit, Stanley went back to dropping her kids off at the school. LPS staff are usually assigned by school administrators to monitor high-traffic crosswalks and intersections, but not every crossing can be watched and staff can't by law direct traffic. "Principals have to do a huge math problem of 'Who do I have coming in?'" Wright said. "It's probably a heck of a computation." On the morning Sage Stanley was hit, there was no guard posted at the crosswalk, Jade Stanley said, but there is usually someone there in the afternoon when more students are using it. After the car-pedestrian crash, the school responded promptly. It placed a crossing guard there in the mornings and later that fall held a meeting with city officials and parents to discuss changes to the school zone. "The responsiveness of Saratoga has been great," Jade Stanley said. Crossing guards are now usually placed at the the 13th Street crosswalk, at 13th and Saratoga and 11th and Saratoga, with greater emphasis during the afternoon pick-up because students are leaving the building at the same time. In the morning it's more of a "trickle," Imel said. Luckily, incidents like the one last September -- while "gut-wrenching" -- are rare, Wright said, although this is the second car-pedestrian crash there in recent memory. In December 2016, a pickup struck a 7-year-old there, but no major changes to the school zone were made then. Sage Stanley is now 11. She'll be starting the sixth grade at Irving Middle School in less than a month. While she healed quickly after the crash -- she was back at Saratoga in a couple of days -- the memory of that day in September still lives with her and her brother. "When we go to a store or something and we have to walk through a parking lot, cross the road, that's really hard for them," Jade Stanley said. She hopes the improvements to the school zone will make a difference and that drivers will stay focused on the road. "I'm always thinking about it when I drive by," she said. "My daughter is very strong and she forgave the driver before we even left the emergency room. Other than replaying it in her head, she's kind of accepted what it was and moved on. "She's been incredibly strong in this whole situation."

A stolen U-Haul cube truck fled Pleasant Prairie Police Officers across the state line Thursday morning before being abandoned according to Sgt. Chad Brown. Brown said Pleasant Prairie officers attempted to stop the vehicle, which didn’t have license plates, for speeding near the 9900 block of 39th Avenue at 12:09 a.m. Friday. It fled southbound, and a spike trap was deployed at 116th Street, puncturing two tires, but the vehicle did not stop. Officers terminated the chase at the state line, determining the reckless driving was a danger to the public, and notified Illinois law enforcement departments. The vehicle was eventually located abandoned. Mugshots: Racine County criminal complaints, July 27, 2022 Today's mugshots: July 27 These are images of people charged with a crime in Racine County.

Roughly two dozen Gremlins of all colors lined the parking lot of the Kenosha Unified School District elementary school, which has as mascot “The Gremlin.” John Schlater, who likes to attend the event, was part of the class at Jeffery Elementary who voted for the mascot to be the Gremlin imp from the classic car. “Everybody was really pumped about the Gremlin, everybody wanted the Gremlin,” Schlater said. “I don’t own a Gremlin but I always come to this event because of my connection to the school and their mascot.” The homecoming event, which is normally held once every three years, was rescheduled from 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been five years since the last AMC Homecoming Car Show. Joyce Ludwig attended Thursday’s special Gremlin event with her husband, both driving from Missouri with her Gremlin, which was black with blue flames on the hood of the car. Ludwig has owned that car since May 1970. When she was 27, Ludwig’s husband said he would buy her a Gremlin if she went and got her license. She landed on a Gremlin after seeing an image in Time magazine and thinking they were, “So ugly but so cute.” Joe Mattison drove from upstate New York to attend the Gremlin gathering for the first time. “With this being the big homecoming, I couldn’t miss it,” Mattison said. “Wherever they got a show, I’ve been trying to hit them, especially this one with Gremlins only.” Mattison has only owned the Gremlin he brought to the show for about five years, but he owned a separate one in the past. “I had a ‘73 that I had for 12 years and drove it 215,000 miles, but that finally rusted out,” Mattison said. “I sold the parts and then I got hold of this one five years ago.” Mattison bought the car from a man who died of cancer two months later. In his honor, he did not change any aspect of the vehicle. The red-orange paint on the vehicle at the show is the same paint it was made with, according to Mattison. Some Kenosha natives, like Kurt Kreuser, also arrived with their Gremlins. Kreuser’s 1978 dark green and gold accent-striped Gremlin is one of many he’s owned over the years. “This is my second one. Well, I probably had about 50 over the years,” Kreuser said. “I graduated high school (and) I got my first one.” Kreuser said, contrary to popular belief, he does not own the car because it is the Packers’ team colors. Rather, he just liked the dark green color. He actually worked at the Kenosha AMC plant at different times before it closed. “I just miss AMC not being here,” Kreuser said. “It’s a different city without it.” Chrysler purchased American Motors Corp. in 1987 and closed the main Kenosha automotive manufacturing plant in 1988. Chrysler had an engine plant in Kenosha until it shuttered in 2010. Schlater remembered AMC as being a big part of the city’s identity. “AMC was a major part of our culture and community back then,” Schlater said. “And although the company is gone, it’s still really an important part of our identity.” 1 of 12 GREMLINS AT JEFFREY Bill Cressman, of Kitchener, Canada, holds a large, stuffed “Gizmo” from the movice “Gremlins” as he exits the passenger seat of his wife’s Gremlin during a AMC Gremlin car show at Jeffrey Elementary School on Thursday.

IN PHOTOS: 2022 AMC Homecoming Week events and shows in Kenosha The largest AMC show in the world is back in Kenosha this week after an extended time away due to the pandemic. Hundreds of vehicles and collectors are descending on the city for the 2022 Kenosha Homecoming Car Show. Automobile manufacturing took place in Kenosha for more than 100 years, ending full production when Chrysler shuttered its lakefront plant Dec. 21, 1988. Engines were still produced here until the engine plant closed in 2010, putting the last 500 out of work and ending the final vestiges of automaking in Kenosha. 1 of 12 GREMLINS AT JEFFREY Bill Cressman, of Kitchener, Canada, holds a large, stuffed “Gizmo” from the movice “Gremlins” as he exits the passenger seat of his wife’s Gremlin during a AMC Gremlin car show at Jeffrey Elementary School on Thursday.

AUSTIN, Texas — Austin ISD Interim Superintendent Anthony Mays announced Thursday that he has chosen Austin ISD Police Department Lt. Wayne Sneed to lead the school district's police department. Chief Sneed is the first Black police chief to serve the district. He steps into the role on Aug. 1 and will lead the department of 76 officers. “When we start trying to represent diversity and equity, having someone that has a different life path and vision based on the life path is important,” Sneed said, who referenced his upbringing as giving him a different perspective. “I went to school to eat, I didn’t go to school to learn.” Sneed is taking over the position at a time when school safety is a top priority following the tragic Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde. "Safety is everyone's top priority for our schools, and that's why it's critical to have a police chief in place before the start of school," Mays said in a media release. “I would like to thank Lieutenant Beverly Freshour for her service as interim chief.” A committee made up of principals and district leaders made the recommendation to Mays to hire Sneed following interviews with internal and external candidates. Sneed has been with AISD PD for the past 10 years, most recently leading the mental health and community engagement unit. Sneed also teaches law enforcement at Texas State University. He has 40 years of experience, which includes experience in Austin and San Marcos. Sneed also served as a special agent with the National Insurance Crime Bureau and director of internal affairs for the Office of the Inspector General with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Sneed was also appointed to the Texas Juvenile Advisory Board in 2017 but is not currently serving on the board. AISD said Sneed knows the Austin ISD community well and has always wanted to be in law enforcement. Sneed is taking over for Ashley Gonzalez, who led the department for four years. Gonzalez announced on May 24 that he was leaving to lead another agency in New England. PEOPLE ARE ALSO READING:

AUSTIN, Texas — Many schools in Central Texas begin school in less than a month, and safety is top of mind for school leaders across Texas. On Thursday, staff at Lake Travis Independent School District held an active shooter training. Lake Travis held the training with Bee Cave and Lakeway police at Bee Cave Middle school. Andy Michael is the chief of police with the Lake Travis ISD police department. He said the kids and staff mean so much to him and safety is his priority. "My kids go to school here, the people I know, their kids go to school here. This is beyond a job for me. This is personal. These are my people," said Michael. In the event of an active shooter, he said a quick response is also a high priority. "Our training is to immediately go into a school, whether it’s one officer, five officers or 100 officers. That first officer on scene is going to enter the school, that officer is going to completely engage the threat immediately," said Michael They also went over tactical approaches to get into a classroom if needed. In Uvalde, there were reports of doors not working properly. Michael said they are checking all their doors in preparation of the upcoming school year. "We did a complete door audit of the entire district this summer. It was more of an official audit than we usually do, but we check them every summer and all through the year. What we are going to do this year is, our officers have always checked the exterior doors and interior doors to make sure everything's functional throughout the school year. Several times a week, generally, as time allows, but this year, we are going to bring in campus administrators and campus personnel that are also going to be assigned to do those same checks," said Michael. Michael said they are constantly reminding students and teachers not to prop any doors. He said he and the district are making sure everything is good to go for the school year, which begins Aug. 16.

AUSTIN, Texas — More than 100 staffers working for Beto O'Rourke's campaign for Texas governor officially formed a union, becoming the first statewide campaign in the state to do so. The 129 staffers in organizing, canvassing, press, finance and other positions, ratified a union contract through Office & Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU). "We are proud to join the labor movement and to be the first Texas statewide campaign to unionize," Rocio Dumey, an organizer on the campaign, said in a media release. "Like Beto, we practice what we preach. We want to send a message that every worker in this state should have the right to demand better wages, benefits and working conditions. We want to join them in that fight.” The Texas AFL-CIO congratulated the newly-formed union on approving a union contract, saying that "staffers laboring long hours in a high-pressure political environment should have a voice in the workplace." According to OPEIU, the contract includes overtime pay, a five-day work week, paid time off to vote early, severance pay, gas stipends and an additional week's salary if O'Rourke wins the Texas gubernatorial election in November. The contract also includes clauses on safe working conditions, parental leave, protections for immigrant workers and established arbitration and grievance procedures. "Under Greg Abbott’s failed leadership, four in 10 working Texans don’t make a living wage. We're running this campaign for a Texas where every worker has a living wage, great benefits, the right to join a union, and dignity on the job," O'Rourke campaign spokesperson Chris Evans said. "We’re proud to be walking the talk, and as governor, Beto will fight to raise the state’s minimum wage for the first time in more than 13 years, make Texas a Right to Organize state, and ensure our economy finally works for all Texans." Democrat O'Rourke will face incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott in the upcoming November election. According to a recent University of Houston poll, the race is tightening as Abbott holds a five-point lead over his challenger. The Texas gubernatorial election will take place on Nov. 8 with early voting starting on Oct. 24 and ending on Nov. 4. PEOPLE ARE ALSO READING:

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Birmingham health and medical experts are partnering to launch a hospital-based violence intervention program. They share a hope for making a positive impact on those who fall victim to gun violence. Jefferson County Public Health Officer, Dr. Mark Wilson, says UAB’s trauma center is seeing over 1,000 gunshot wounds yearly. He says the violence intervention program will be used to help victims who want a way out of violent environments. Help may be provided through counseling, relocation, job training or financial assistance- all to help change the trajectory of survivors’ lives. “Our hope is that we can help to reverse some of that cultural violence that we see and the trauma that it’s having on the overall community which unfortunately can lead to more violence,” said Wilson. The Offender Alumni Association has been designated to hire violence interventionists that will work with shooting victims before discharge from the hospital. The program will start small with just three interventionists leading the way, but Wilson says he has hope this program will expand its impact over time. “We are not going to be able to engage with the majority of people that have been victims of a violent crime, but again, this is a starting point- something we hope can be expanded over time, but it has to start fairly small to make sure we get it right.” Data will be collected over time in order to gauge the success of the program, but for now, Wilson says they are focused on changing lives within our community, one shooting victim at a time. “Any life that we impact and turn around and help them get on a better course and help them stay safe-that is a success story, and that is worth it.” Wilson says the violence intervention program is expected to officially begin in December of 2022 or January of 2023.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Congress on Thursday passed the CHIPS Act and sent it to President Joe Biden for his signature. The act boosts the semiconductor inductor industry and scientific research with the goal of increasing the production of computer chips in the United States and helping to ease supply chain issues. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] But tucked in the bill is something for Florida’s space industry as well — a new NASA authorization bill. The authorization bill is the first for NASA since 2017. It gives the space agency direction and directives from congress, which helps with oversight of the agency. Among the provisions in the NASA authorization bill: - Formally extending the life of the International Space Station to 2030. Congress had previously authorized the ISS through 2024. This has been a longstanding priority for lawmakers focused on the space program. - Establishing a Moon to Mars Office and program to implement missions for the Artemis program and other deep space exploration initiatives. - Require NASA to pursue certain research and science goals, including the search for life in the universe and continuing Earth science research related to climate. - Continuing forward with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. - Implement a near-Earth object survey to detect and track potentially hazardous near-Earth objects. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said this authorization bill was important in supporting a new era of space exploration “that will last decades.” “This act shows continued bipartisan support of NASA’s many missions, including our Moon to Mars approach, as well extension of U.S. participation in the International Space Station to 2030,” Nelson said.

In 2014, Steve Smelski and his wife experienced what no parent ever wants to experience — the loss of their young son to what’s commonly known as a brain-eating amoeba. “On Monday night, he started hallucinating, which is just about seven days after swimming,” Smelski recalled. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] Jordan Smelski was 11 when his life was cut short after he contracted naegleria fowleri — a brain-eating amoeba — while on vacation in Costa Rica. “He was seeing things. He though there were spiders on the ceiling. He goes, ‘Oh, mom, look; that restaurant, all the tables had 3 seats,’” Steve Smelski said. According to Steve Smelski, the day before his son began to feel sick, they had been at the resort pool, which used water from a waterfall that wasn’t chlorinated and water that came from underground that had a temperature of about 96 degrees. Jordan Smelski was a young boy who had a passion for sports, zip lining, art and video games. “He was our only child, and we felt like everything ended for us, and we’d always thought up until that point, he was our purpose in life,” the father said. After their painful loss, Steve Smelski and his wife founded the Jordan Smelski Foundation for amoeba awareness. “It took us a couple months to realize he was still our purpose — just in a different way. So we get to talk about him to share the Jordan story,” he said. “We try to help others more and not think so much of ourselves now. We do a community give-back every Christmas, and we open Jordan’s sporting goods store, and we give away used or gently used equipment for kids.” Through their efforts, the foundation also organized the first amoeba summit in Central Florida in 2015. “We had Orange County public health and Seminole County public health both involved, and we got involvement from doctors. We brought in experts from around the country,” he said. “We shared information, and the next boy that came into the hospital was Sebastian Deleon, and he lived.” Steve Smelski told News 6 he’s now trying to get the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to develop an early detection test. The fatality rate of someone infected with this disease is 98%. “You can have three kids swimming in a lake, and one gets it, and the other two don’t. We don’t know why. There’s no research that’s been funded,” he said. For more information on the Jordan Smelski Foundation for Amoeba Awareness, visit the group’s website here.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Robert Burck, better known as the Naked Cowboy, says he doesn’t hold any grudge after he was arrested during Daytona Beach’s Bike Week in 2021. “I have no hard feelings,” Burck said in an interview Thursday with News 6. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] The city of Daytona Beach recently agreed to settle a lawsuit filed on Burck’s behalf, ultimately paying the performer $90,000 for the arrest. For his part, Burck wants people to know that the lawsuit was not his idea, but rather a move made by his management. “It was my management company and the attorneys themselves who basically orchestrated the proper action,” he said. Despite that, the iconic street performer said that he does believe his 2021 arrest was inappropriate. “I recognize that they (the officers) did violate my constitutional rights,” Burck said. At the time of his arrest, police said Burck was taking photographs with bystanders near Main Street and Fern Lane as they put money in his guitar. Officers said his actions violated a Daytona Beach city ordinance on panhandling. “I wasn’t soliciting money — certainly wasn’t aggressive panhandling, by any stretch of the imagination,” he said. “People were coming to me, willingly handing me money.” You can listen to every episode of Florida’s Fourth Estate in the media player below: Burck admits he may have been “mouthy” with officers but said he was “being pushed around.” “I’m the type of person who doesn’t have any complaints with anyone. I’m not somebody who holds grudges,” he said. “I just kept a smile on, spent the night in jail, patiently waited all day till I got out.” Burck said he plans to continue to operate as usual and even intends to return to Daytona Beach. “It’s just water under the bridge and I was there in Daytona this year. Again, no problems,” he said. As for the officers who arrested him, Burck said he has no hard feelings toward them and hopes “everyone is back to work as usual.” “Remember, I never sued anyone. The lawyer did. I just supplied the briefs,” he said.

MELBOURNE, Fla. – A judge sentenced a man to 20 years in prison for a 2018 shooting in Melbourne. During the sentencing hearing Thursday, the mother of Reginald Little apologized to the family of Lemonta Wynn while also standing by her son. “I am so sorry that a life has been lost,” Nakebia Cloud said. “Reginald is a good man. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. I would like him to know that his family loves him.” [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] In August 2018, Melbourne police said Little shot Wynn inside Wynn’s home on Lipscomb Street. Police said the motive was robbery and Wynn’s roommates, which included two of Little’s family members, tried talking Little out of it. A 911 caller reported Wynn was shot in his side and the shooter was no longer there. Police caught up to Little two months later and he was initially charged with first-degree murder. Then earlier this month, Little accepted a plea deal and lessened his murder charge to second-degree. “You’ve agreed to adjudication of guilt, 20 years in the Department of Corrections,” Judge Charles Crawford said as he read Little’s sentence. Little responded to the reading by thanking the judge and addressing his family. The Wynn family did not comment in court. “I just want to tell my family that I love them,” Little said. “Thank you for what you did and my lawyer, thank you.” Included in Little’s 20-year sentence is a mandatory ten years because of the firearm involved.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla – Two white-nosed coatis have made their debut at the Brevard Zoo and are now part of the coati band, according to the zoo’s website. Sky and Rita came to join Brevard Zoo’s older coati residents Lupita and Katie and their 1-year-old trio, Tito, Agave and Romi, the zoo said Thursday. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] The newest smaller coatis were born in a private facility in Texas and are now part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ White-Nosed Coati Species Survival Plan managed by the director of animal programs of the Brevard Zoo. The introduction process between Sky and Rita and the rest of the coati band has begun, so there will be a howdy period where all interactions occur with a barrier between them before a monitored in-person meeting, the zoo said. Experts said white-nosed coatis are highly adaptable animals that can be found in different areas ranging from northern South America up to Arizona, according to the zoo. The Brevard Zoo said wild populations of coatis are decreasing due to large-scale habitat loss and in some areas hunting.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County Commissioner Emily Bonilla held a news conference at Lake Eola Thursday to continue her push for a rent stabilization ordinance. The ordinance stems from a commission meeting back in April, at which Bonilla introduced the proposal as a way to alleviate the ongoing housing crisis. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] She said she expects the board to vote on the ordinance at their next meeting on Aug. 9, which will also be a public hearing. Bonilla told News 6 that commissioners have decided what that draft ordinance will include. “Nothing remains to be decided. It’s not exactly what I would hope for, but it’s what our attorneys say is the best case scenario to be able to move forward and survive a legal challenge,” Bonilla said. She said that while she’s not happy about where they’ve landed, commissioners have decided on what the rent cap will be. “It will be the CPI, and that would be the rent cap, and, unfortunately, again, that’s what the attorneys said would have to be needed in order to survive a legal challenge,” Bonilla said. Bonilla explained that the draft says the rent cap would only impact apartments and landlords with four or more rental units; luxury apartments would be exempt. The ordinance has received pushback from landlords, market experts and even other members of the commission, who said the proposal may do more harm than good. News 6 asked the commissioner if she’s confident the ordinance will be placed on the ballot in November, though Bonilla was unable to provide an answer. “I do feel that the people of Orange County really need to lobby their elected officials,” she said.

STOCK ISLAND, Fla. – A 27-year-old snorkeler died earlier this week after suffering a head injury that was possibly caused from being struck by a boat, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed on Thursday. News 6 partner WPLG said according to FWC spokesman Rob Klepper, FWC officers were checking two boats Monday during lobster sport season near Stock Island. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] He said an officer was notified that a 27-year-old man from Port Orange who was snorkeling in the area had not yet surfaced. “Search efforts were immediately initiated, and additional FWC units, an FWC aircraft and a U.S. Coast Guard aircraft were brought into the area to assist,” Klepper said in a news release. The victim’s body was recovered from the water several hours later. While authorities believe the head trauma on the victim’s body appears to be from a boat, the investigation remains ongoing. “Due to the FWC vessel in proximity at the time and location the accident may have occurred, the FWC has requested that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement conduct an independent investigation of the incident to ensure complete transparency,” Klepper said. “This is an active and ongoing boating accident investigation. All of us at the FWC extend our heartfelt condolences to the friends and family of the victim during this time.” Get today’s headlines in minutes with Your Florida Daily:

Royal Caribbean announced Thursday it’s no longer requiring vaccinated guests to take a COVID-19 test prior to embarking on cruises six nights or less. This protocol will go into place starting Aug. 8. Cruise officials said any cruise guests departing before then must adhere to the current protocols in place, which differ depending on where you are leaving from. The cruise line will still require unvaccinated guests and vaccinated guests embarking on cruises six nights or longer, to take a COVID-19 test within three days of their departure date. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] Royal Caribbean also said it will continue to maintain a high percentage of fully vaccinated guests, and crew members will continue to be fully vaccinated and boosted as well as tested regularly when eligible.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Body camera video released by Volusia deputies shows the arrests of several teens accused of stealing two Kias as part of a social media trend on Tuesday. The sheriff’s office said the suspects were taking part in a TikTok and YouTube trend that shows people how to steal Kias and Hyundais. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] The body camera video shows deputies approach the boys, two 14-year-olds and a 17-year-old, who are parked in a red Kia. “Driver, with your left hand, open the door on the outside,” a deputy tells them. “All the passengers, keep your hands out of the window so we can see your hands. Now, exit the vehicle.” In the video, the deputy can be heard telling each person in the car to exit the Kia individually. The suspects can be seen leaving the car with their hands and shirts pulled up to show there were no weapons in the waistbands of their shorts at the same time the deputies have their guns drawn. News 6 is not naming or showing the suspects because of their age. Deputies said the red Kia had been stolen in DeBary around 6 a.m. and was involved in a hit-and-run around 6:40 a.m. Deputies said the three minors had a “joking demeanor” and laughed saying “Kia boys,” which refers to a group known to steal Kia cars and post about it on social media, according to the incident report. It’s a trend law enforcement said is growing nationwide. Deputies recovered 2 Kia Souls stolen from homes in DeBary. 3 defendants ages 14-17 laughed and indicated they used instructions they found on YouTube. — Volusia Sheriff (@VolusiaSheriff) July 28, 2022 Yesterday, a Kia Optima in Deltona had its window shattered and steering column damaged, but the theft attempt was unsuccessful. https://t.co/5rXZSr45wG The teen who was driving the Kia told deputies he watched a YouTube video to learn how to start Kia cars without a key. The red Kia was the second car the teens allegedly stole that morning. Deputies said the teens had stole a white Kia, then the red Kia, and then stashed the white Kia behind a Deltona gas station. The sheriff’s office also released bodycam video of deputies finding the white Kia. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office recommends vehicle owners of 2011 or newer model Kias and 2015 or newer Hyundais “use a steering wheel locking device; always park in well-lit areas if possible; keep your doors locked at all times; and remove all personal items or valuables from your vehicle.” Kia also issued a statement with information on what Kia vehicles owners should do if they have any questions. “Kia America is aware of the rise in vehicle thefts of a subset of trim level vehicles in your area. As of the current 2022 Model Year, all Kia vehicles have an engine immobilizer fitted as standard. All Kia vehicles for sale in the U.S. meet or exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,” the company said in a statement. “Kia customers with questions regarding their Kia vehicle should contact the Consumer Assistance Center directly at 1-800-333-4542 (4Kia).

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – As more investment companies and individuals purchase homes across Central Florida, an Orange County homeowner’s association is considering a proposal that would restrict new property owners from renting their homes for the first 13 months. Alvin Little remembers moving into Waterford Lakes nearly three decades ago. “I’ve been here since 1993. I’ve watched this community grow into something really phenomenal,” Little said. The east Orange County community has grown to 3,100 homes made up of 25 individual neighborhoods. The community offers residents several amenities, including a pool, pickle ball courts and much more. “Waterford has a real good family vibe,” Little said. [TRENDING: Is it illegal in Florida to back into a parking space? | Trust Index: Do COVID booster shots make you more susceptible to the virus? | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] Little said he wants to protect the community while serving as president of the Waterford Lakes Community Association. He said the goal of the HOA is to maintain property values. But a few months ago, he noticed a trend of companies and individual investors purchasing properties to turn into rentals and not taking care of the homes. “We started seeing a lot more rentals and it was really hard to get a hold of these people to find out who is maintaining the property, who is doing this, who is paying the dues, what’s going on,” Little said. According to real estate brokerage Redfin, investors purchased 25% of the homes sold in metro Orlando during the first quarter of 2022. Orlando ranked in the top 10 US metros for percentage of homes bought by investors. As for Waterford Lakes, Matt Firestone, the general counsel for the Waterford Lakes Community Association, said that led to some challenges. “Didn’t have phone number, email, contact person and it was becoming a problem,” Firestone said. That is why the HOA is proposing an amendment that would restrict new property owners from renting their homes for at least 13 months. The amendment would not apply to current property owners who are renting their homes. Firestone, who also represents other neighborhood associations, said this is all about balancing property rights and home values. “On the one hand we don’t want to infringe upon somebody’s right to rent the property out if that’s how they want to make some income, but you have to balance that against the interest of the neighborhood as a whole in making sure the property’s maintained,” Firestone said. Little also hopes this will level the playing field and give families a better shot at purchasing homes instead of investors. He adds if this amendment passes, he believes other communities could follow similar rental restrictions. “If we restrict them, they’re going to (go) somewhere else, so other communities will probably start looking at it and hopefully they’ll use us as a role model,” Little said. Firestone said if the amendment passes, anyone violating the rule will have to pay half of the rent received to the HOA. The neighborhoods are set to vote on the proposed amendment on Saturday, Aug. 6. Check out the Real Talk, Real Solutions podcast in the media player below:

Native American tribal members battling memory loss in Arizona have a new tool that aims to improve quality of life: a newly released album of music by Native American artists. "Walk With Me," launched by the Native American Outreach Program at Banner Alzheimer's Institute, will be distributed in tribal communities for dementia patients and their caregivers. Studies indicate music therapy may help improve behavioral issues and can provide a way for patients to connect with others when they're not able to verbally communicate. The project, which began during the pandemic, hopes to help increase the quality of life for both the patient and their caregiver, especially for those families isolated on reservations. There is no cost for the CD. "With the ongoing and varied changes a person with dementia can experience as they progress, music can be used as a tool to connect, communicate, move, modify mood or even help with self-care," said Heather Mulder, associate director of outreach services at Banner Alzheimer's Institute. She explained that the songs for the "Walk With Me" CD were chosen by a team that listened to songs for therapeutic value and cultural relevancy. People are also reading… It includes upbeat songs to start each morning on a positive note, and soothing songs to cue the body and mind that it is time to wind down and go to sleep, explained Mulder. She said certain songs may be effective for challenging activities such as bathing or performing other types of personal care. "This CD is really the first of its kind, especially in the Native American community," Mulder said. "We're still in the process of distributing and will be partnering with the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona so we can reach as many families as possible." The council has 21 tribes as members and the organization provides a voice for tribal governments to address common issues of concerns. Mulder said the institute and council will develop an in-depth education program which will be showcased at an annual conference on Alzheimer's disease in Native American communities in October. She said those in attendance will receive a copy of the CD. The work is in collaboration with Canyon Records, which has underwritten the project. Canyon Records, Sunshine Music Therapy and Banner Alzheimer's Institute partnered to help Indigenous people who are living with some form of memory loss, said Kathy Norris-Wilhelm, director of promotions with Canyon Records. There were 1,000 copies made in the first run and more runs may be done based on the demand and need, Norris-Wilhelm said. Robert Doyle, owner and president of Canyon Records, dedicated the project to his mother, Corazon Esteva, and Jean Norris-Wilhelm, Kathy's late wife. Both women died from Alzheimer's disease. "Music itself is a tool and music in the Native American communities is an integral part of daily life," said Kathy Norris-Wilhelm. The CD is a compilation of music from various Native American artists, and songs include "Winter Camp," featuring R. Carlos Nakai on Native American flute and Cliff Sarde on keyboards, as well as "Road Less Traveled," with Aaron White on guitar and Kelvin Bizahaloni on Native American flute. White, a member of the Diné (Navajo) of Northern Arizona (Blacksheep Clan) and the Northern Ute tribe Whiteriver band, is a Grammy-nominated musician. He was a close friend of the Norris-Wilhelm couple and said he wanted to pay his respects through his music. "I've known people in my family from way long ago who had Alzheimer's. When things start to go wrong, you feel for them," he said. He wrote the instrumental piece "Road Less Traveled," which is about a person's journey in life. "Some will follow the common trail in life and go with the flow, and those who choose the road less traveled is because it is more of a challenge and a learning process. It is an adventure of the unknown and seeking out wisdom and strength and all we need to survive in this world. It is a determination of strength, peace and harmony that all human beings need to live on this Earth," said White. Award-winning performer of the Native American flute, Nakai, of Navajo-Ute heritage, said of "Winter Camp:" “This music is my awareness, my voice, my spirit and it comes to me from those who have gone before and will go on to those who come after. Performing this music requires that I reach deep within the impressions and thoughts that reflect my past experiences. My hope is that those who listen to the voice of the flute are inspired to find their own expression and perhaps reclaim what was lost or find something new.” Music has been shown to be a powerful tool when it comes to helping dementia and Alzheimer's patients, says the Alzheimer's Association. According to the association, "One in five Native American adults aged 45 and older reports experiencing memory or thinking problems that might be a sign of dementia." The Alzheimer's Association also says: - Native Americans are more likely to develop Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia than white or Asian Americans. At the same time, American Indians overall have less access to health care and health services and are less likely to be diagnosed once they show symptoms, creating unique challenges in addressing Alzheimer's and other dementias. - As many as one in three Native American elders will develop Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia. - By 2060, the number of American Indian/Alaska Native individuals aged 65 and older living with dementia is projected to increase fourfold. This Tucson nonprofit provides programming designed to heal, restore and preserve Indigenous identity for Native American youth, families and adults. The cancer studies need 500 Hispanic participants. Candidates crowd most fields in state legislative districts 16, 17 and 18.

HAWAII, USA — A former Texas couple accused of living for three decades under the identities of two dead infants and tied to Russian intelligence had an invisible ink kit, maps of military bases and told family members they were in the witness protection program, a prosecutor said Thursday. The prosecutor told this to a federal judge during a hearing to determine if the husband should be held pending trial. The judge found that Walter Glenn Primrose, 66, was a flight risk and ordered him to remain in federal custody on three charges related to identity theft. Primrose and his wife Gwynn Darle Morrison face up to 17 years in prison if convicted on all charges, a prosecutor said. The couple is accused of assuming the identities of Bobby Edward Fort, who was born in Dallas in 1967 and died that same year and is buried in Marble Falls, and Julie Lyn Montague, who was born, died and buried in 1968 in Burnet. Neither is charged with espionage, but in court documents released this week, prosecutors included Polaroid photographs from the 1980s of both Primrose and Morrison in what are believed to be KGB uniforms. “I know there’s been a lot of speculation and innuendo out there in the media about Mr. Primrose,” defense attorney Craig Jerome told a Hawaii judge during a telephone hearing Thursday. “The government has provided no evidence to support that speculation and innuendo." Prosecutor Wayne Myers told the judge Thursday that “according to witness interviews, the defendants had a longstanding interest in espionage and expressed anti-government and anti-military sentiments.” Court documents say that the pair attended Calhoun High School in Port Lavaca, Tx., from 1970 to 1973. They both also attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches from 1976 to 1979. They were married Aug. 19, 1980, in Nacogdoches and bought a home there in 1981. Myers said Thursday that in the 1980s, both left Texas “suddenly.” “They reportedly told one family member that they were entering the witness protection program,” Myers told the judge. “They gave that family member keys to their house and told the family member take anything that they wanted." The house was eventually foreclosed on by the bank, he said. Myers said Morrison used her real name to open a post office box and told family to only use that to communicate with her. Myers said that according to witness interviews, she lived in Romania in the 1980s when it was part of the Communist bloc. The couple told people that they changed names for “legal and financial reasons,” Myers said, and that they remarried under the new names, he said. From 1994 to 2016, Myers said Primrose served in the U.S. Coast Guard as Bobby Fort. After the Coast Guard, Primrose worked for a Department of Defense contractor, Myers said. In both roles, Myers said Primrose had access to classified military information. Prosecutors have provided no evidence, however, that Primrose or Morrison divulged any government secrets to anyone. The Polaroids found in the couple’s home in Hawaii showing both in KGB uniforms appear to be authentic, Myers said. Myers said that in addition to the photos, law enforcement also discovered: - an invisible ink kit - documents that contain coded language - maps showing military bases - correspondence between the defendants referencing an associate that believed Primrose may have joined the C.I.A. “or became a terrorist in Bolivia" - additional correspondence that appears to reference other aliases used by the couple Myers said agents also found receipts of undisclosed foreign travel. Also, while agents were executing a search warrant, Myers said while in a room together the couple were recorded "making references to things consistent with espionage." He did not elaborate. Primrose “may have some troubling foreign connections” and may use those to leave the country, Myers told the judge. He said the government believes Primrose has a passport from 1999 in his real name, but it hasn’t been found. Myers also said Primrose has “significant financial assets” which could also aid in him fleeing the United States to avoid prosecution. “The weight of the evidence warrants detention,” Myers said. “The government has said a lot of things, but I haven’t seen any evidence of anything,” defense attorney Jerome said following Myers’ presentation. The judge sided with the prosecution and ordered Primrose held pending trial. A hearing to determine if Morrison will also be held pending trial is set for Tuesday in Hawaii.

PALO PINTO COUNTY, Texas — Sunlight magnified by glass bottles in an open garbage can ignited paper trash, starting a 500-acre North Texas wildfire that destroyed five homes, fire officials said Thursday. The July 18 fire on Possum Kingdom Lake’s western shore, about 70 miles west of Fort Worth, took eight days to fully contain. Chief Bonnie Watkins of the Possum Kingdom West Side Volunteer Fire Department found a trash can packed with party trash that included paper goods, food and numerous glass bottles, according to a department statement Thursday. Watkins concluded that a wind gust opened the can lid, allowing sunlight magnified by the glass bottles to ignite the paper. The fire built rapidly until the fire spilled from the can and spread to nearby cedar trees, the statement said. Rich Johnson, a spokesman for the Insurance Council of Texas, a nonprofit insurance industry association, said he had never heard of such a freakish cause for a wildfire. “A fire started in a trash can is one thing, but one caused by sunlight magnified by glass bottles? That's a new one,” Johnson said. North Texas has been plagued by numerous explosive wildfires fostered by extreme drought conditions combined with temperatures topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit and wind gusts. Another fire that began the same day as the Possum Kingdom Lake fire continued to burn Thursday about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. However, a multi-agency firefighting team continued to make slow by steady progress in containing the Chalk Mountain Fire that has blackened 10 1/2 square miles, destroyed 16 homes and damaged five others. In a statement, team officials said crews had improved containment from 50% to 53% from Wednesday to Thursday and crews suppressed a particularly stubborn portion of the fire with bulldozers Thursday. However, they also continued to strengthen fire lines and attack hotspots as conditions remained critically conducive to ignitions and spreading. The cause of the Chalk Mountain Fire has not yet been determined.

A Floresville woman has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for driving drunk and killing a man who had pulled over to check on a vehicle he was towing, the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday. Blanca Juanita Torres was 38 when she was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter after she hit Mauricio Rodriguez Zuniga on Oct. 16, 2018, as he attempted to get out of his vehicle on Northwest Loop 410 near Vance Jackson Road. Zuniga, 26 and the father of two, died at University Hospital. According to police, he was pulling a sedan with a tow strap when his car broke down around 10:30 p.m. He pulled over to the side of Loop 410, and as he emerged to check on his vehicle was hit by Torres and thrown several feet from the impact. At the time of the crash, police said Torres “failed to maintain (her) lane of travel, drove onto the improved shoulder and struck” Zuniga, his car and the car he was towing. Officers conducted a field sobriety test and arrested Torres. Torres’ blood-alcohol content at the time of the crash was .017, more than twice the legal limit. As part of an agreement reached between prosecutor Sade Mitchell Bogart and defense attorney Jonathan Watkins, Torres in March entered a plea of no contest to intoxication manslaughter. State District Judge Jennifer Peña later found her guilty. In a pre-sentence investigation hearing conducted Wednesday, Torres, now 42, expressed remorse to the Zuniga family. She admitted to the court that she had continued drinking after participating in several treatment programs, and added that she had been demoted at her place of employment for drinking while on the job. Online court records indicate that Torres sought probation but was denied. Bexar County District Attorney Joe D. Gonzales said in a statement that he hopes the family can “find some peace and closure” now that Torres accepted responsibility and has been sentenced. “When people make the decision to get behind the wheel after drinking, innocent lives can be ruined,” he said. “Mr. Zuniga’s family will never forget that night.” ezavala@express-news.net | Twitter: @elizabeth2863

MIDLAND, Texas — Emergency landings aren't something pilots have to do often, but in the rare chance they do, there are steps in place to make sure their landing is a safe one. Aviation Instructor Ed Munoz, said the first thing the pilot must do is notify the control tower and, as hard as it may be, remain calm. "All you can do is keep calm and do what you have to," Munoz said. As for where exactly to land, he said highways and open fields are the safest routes. "The highways, especially interstates, are good places to land, and usually you can land in-between cars anyway because they usually see you coming down and say 'uh oh' and then they start slowing down and the ones in front speed up," Munoz said. "So highway landings are usually pretty safe." "You looking for a good place to land, if you have an empty field." Munoz said. "Depending on where you land, some places you’ll have to put the gear up and slide in, and that will cause least damage to the plane and won’t flip it over." Munoz said pilots usually have enough time to put a plan into action. "You have a glide ratio, so you have plenty of time to figure out what you’re going to do," Munoz said. Ed's wife, Sylvia, used to fly planes in the Air Force. She knows firsthand how to make an emergency landing, as she's had to make some in her time flying. "If you have an emergency when you're a passenger, stay calm and let the crew handle it," Sylvia Munoz said. "They’ll get you down, they’ll take care of you. That’s what they’re trained to do. You’re not, they are. It’s just staying calm and using your head, don’t panic. If you panic, you lose everything."

DES MOINES, Iowa — With World Day Against Human Trafficking on July 30th, Secretary of State Paul Pate says he's teaming up with the Department of Public Safety and the State Department of Transportation to create a greater awareness around human trafficking. They plan on doing this by working with businesses and community members to recognize and stop the issue. In January 2022 Pate launched the Iowa Businesses Against Trafficking (IBAT) initiative. Pate says he has recruited hundreds of businesses across Iowa to help spot and stop human trafficking through. "We have over 500 businesses doing that now. But we can do better, we can do more. It's like a neighborhood watch initiative," said Pate. Pate's office is also working with other state agencies to combat human and labor trafficking. With interstates 80 and 35 intersecting in Iowa, Sergeant Joe Nickell with the Iowa DOT says he works to train truck drivers on what human trafficking looks like. Through training and national non-profits like Truckers Against Trafficking, DOT hopes to put the brakes on trafficking on the road. "We've had the opportunity to partner with most large tech companies in Iowa. We have over 40,000 of our drivers trained here in Iowa, we've either done directly or facilitated that training," said Nickell Chris Callaway, special agent of the Iowa Department of Public Safety, says he's seeing a slight increase in the amount of tips the department is receiving. "Could be because we're coming out of COVID, could be the training that has been done to the Hotel and Lodging providers, could be the increased awareness among the general public. All those things, we hope can lead to an increase in tips," said Callaway. The Public Safety Office also provides free online training for lodging providers to learn and recognize the signs of human trafficking. Pate says collecting data surrounding this issue is complex making it even more important that if you see something say something. "It's one of those crimes, it's very hard to get statistics on, because so much of it slips between the cracks," said Pate. "These operators are using social media. So they're not easy to track down." All three departments say fighting this mission has been increasingly difficult as social media posses more opportunities for recruiting individuals for human trafficking. The human trafficking organization, Recognize and Report, lays out top recruitment tactics. Someone acting as a romantic partner and possibly proposing marriage A family member who influences another member into a trafficking situation Someone offering to help with money, food or a job If you or someone you know need help please call or text the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-373-7888 or text "IOWAHELP" to 20121.

PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. — The federal government is pledging $401 million in grants and loans to expand the reach and improve the speed of internet for rural residents, tribes and businesses in remote parts of 11 states from Alaska to Arkansas. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told reporters Wednesday, ahead of the Thursday announcement, that farmers, store owners, schoolchildren and people seeking telehealth medical checkups will benefit from the ReConnect and Telecommunications Infrastructure Loan and Loan Guarantee programs. “Connectivity is critical to economic success in rural America,” Vilsack said in a statement tallying the number of people who could be helped at about 31,000 in states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota and Texas. The statement said the Department of Agriculture plans more spending on high-speed internet in the coming weeks as part of a $65 billion Biden administration plan to expand affordable, high-speed internet to all communities in the U.S. U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto joined Vilsack and Mitch Landrieu, White House infrastructure coordinator, to point to the effect the grants and loans are expected to have in the northern Nevada community of Lovelock, home to fewer than 2,000 people, and the Lovelock Indian Colony. “There is a need for this connectivity on so many levels,” Cortez Masto said, “whether it brings telehealth, telemedicine, e-learning, workforce development. A connection is so important for so many Nevadans.” Internet provider Uprise LLC will receive more than $27 million to connect almost 4,900 people, 130 businesses, 22 farms and seven public schools in Lovelock and surrounding Pershing County, officials said. Masto, a Democrat seeking reelection in November, said federal funds will offer eligible Nevada residents a $30-per-month discount on their internet bill discount and up to $100 toward a computer. Elsewhere, Midvale Telephone Co. will get $10.6 million to bring high-speed fiber-optic internet to people, businesses and farms in four central Idaho counties — Elmore, Blaine, Custer and Boise — and five southeast Arizona counties: Gila, Graham, Pinal, Cochise and Pima. The Arkansas Telephone Co. will receive $12 million to connect almost 1,000 people, 10 businesses and 145 farms to high-speed internet in Searcy and Van Buren counties, with low-cost with voice and voice/data starter packages. Alaska Power & Telephone, Unicom Inc. and Cordova Telephone Cooperative, combined, are slated to receive almost $55.4 million in to connect almost 3,300 people, 118 businesses and seven schools in remote areas by fiber-optic network. In New Mexico, Continental Divide Electric Cooperative and ENMP Telephone Cooperative are due to receive a combined $18 million in grants to install affordable fiber networks, and Penasco Valley Telephone Cooperative will get a nearly $29 million loan to connect “socially vulnerable communities” in Chaves, Eddy, Lincoln and Otero counties. Vilsack said the programs will particularly help residents in what he called “persistent poverty counties,” where he said most have access to broadband, but about one in three don’t have the high-speed networks needed for telemedicine and distance learning. He said the goal was “to do what is necessary to make sure every rural resident, regardless of ZIP code has access to affordable, reliable high-speed internet.”

A little boy reported missing by his parents in Spring was later found dead inside a washing machine in their home Thursday morning, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Seven-year-old Troy Khoeler had been missing for a few hours from the home on Rosegate Drive in the Birnam Wood subdivision, according to Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman. Troy was found in the top-load machine in the garage of the same home he was reported missing from, an HCSO homicide detective said at the scene. Investigators wouldn't comment on whether there was water inside the machine or whether the lid was closed, but did say Troy was clothed. "We don't know what happened, but we intend to find out," HCSO Lt. Robert Minchew said. The boy's body was found by Precinct 4 deputies when they searched the house. The boy's parents were taken in for questioning which is standard procedure, according to Minchew. He wouldn't comment on whether there were any injuries or signs of foul play, and said it's too soon to determine if it was an accident. "Whether he was killed by the washing machine or killed and placed in it, we're just so far from that, I can't comment," Minchew said. WATCH: Full HCSO news conference The parents told investigators Troy first turned up missing around 4 a.m., according to Minchew. They reported it to the constable's office at about 5:20 a.m. After questioning the parents, deputies searched the neighborhood, but didn't find any sign of Troy. That's when they did a more thorough search of the house. Troy lived in the home with both parents and no other siblings. Minchew said he had been a foster child and was adopted by the couple in 2019. He said the boy's mother was wearing a work uniform but he doesn't know yet if she had returned from work to find the boy missing or if she was getting ready for work. A spokesperson with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services said "CPS does have history with the family." A neighbor, who's lived on the street for more than 40 years, said he'd often seen Troy playing in the neighborhood. Rudy Chupa was surprised when he learned the child's body had been found. "It's bad, I mean, I've got great-grandkids, I don't know how they're coping with it," Chupa said. "It shouldn't happen to anybody. Wow. Troy attended Spring ISD. Thursday afternoon, the district released the following statement: Spring ISD is deeply saddened about the tragic passing of our student, Troy Khoeler. The Harris County Pct. 4 Constable's Office and Harris County Sheriff's Office are currently investigating the case. His death represents a great loss for our district, and we are providing ongoing counseling and grief services for students and staff members impacted by this tragedy.

GREENSBORO — If you live in the unincorporated area of Guilford County or Pleasant Garden, you may soon pay more to get your garbage and recyclables picked up. The three companies Guilford County contracts with to provide these services — Republic Services, GFL Environmental Services (formerly Waste Industries) and Randolph County Garbage Service — are all seeking a rate increase. The license agreements would be through July 2025. The fee increases for weekly garbage collection and twice monthly recyclables pickup are as follows: • Republic Services is proposing an increase from $21.50 to $26.56 — a rise of 23.5%. • GFL Environmental offered two possible increases from its current rate of $21.50: An increase of $26.05 — a 21.2% bump — along with an annual "urban consumer price index adjustment" beginning next July; or $27.35 without the consumer price index adjustment — a 27.2% increase. People are also reading… • Randolph County Garbage Service wants to go from $18.50 to $21.50 — a 16.2% increase. At a work session earlier this month, Environmental Services Program Manager Clyde Harding told Guilford County commissioners the companies cited increased costs for labor, diesel fuel, plastic carts, truck parts and waste disposal as reasons behind the increase. Republic Services provides service to about 85% of the unincorporated areas, while GFL Environmental and Randolph County cover 14% and 1% respectively in Guilford County, Harding said. He said the complaints he receives about service range from company representatives not being reachable to missed pickups to contents blowing out of collection trucks. The last rate increase was $5 more per month in 2019 for Republic and GFL Environmental, Harding said. During a July 14 work session, commissioners grilled representatives of GFL Environmental and Republic Services about the rate increase. "Those are your customers. They're our constituents," said Chairman Melvin "Skip" Alston, adding that he wanted to hold a public hearing about the rate increase. Norma Yanez of GFL Environmental told commissioners that the company's costs have "gone up tremendously." "We've had to provide bonuses. We've had to adjust rates. We've had to pay extra bonuses on Saturdays for them to come in on weekends," said Yanez, noting that labor costs have increased by 41% from 2019 for a residential truck driver. Joe Salamone of Republic Services told commissioners the company has hired a customer service manager, an extra dispatcher and an extra supervisor to service mostly Guilford County. The company also bought six new trucks since 2019, he said. "That's over a $1.75 million investment," Salamone said. "Without our customers, we don't survive. ... But our costs continue to go up." GFL Environmental and Randolph County Garbage did not respond to emails seeking comment on their rate requests by early Thursday evening. However, Republic Services said: "Many industries are facing challenges with increased operating expenses at this time, and the recycling and waste disposal industry is no different. In an effort to sustain the current service levels, the necessity for a price adjustment is resolute and critical to our ability to continue serving the residents of the county."

The City of Flagstaff received notification that the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will provide $2.4 million in flood mitigation assistance, a city press release reported Thursday morning. The funds have been granted through the NRCS's Emergency Watershed Protection program and will go toward the construction of Schultz Creek sediment and flood mitigation detention basins These Schultz Creek detention basins will help to mitigate post-wildfire flooding from the Pipeline Fire, which burned more than 1,000 acres of the Schultz Creek watershed in June. This burn resulted in an increased risk of post-wildfire flooding for neighborhoods downstream, including Coyote Springs, Coconino Estates, Downtown and the Southside. Already, some of these have seen significant post-fire flooding in current monsoon season. According to the release, the proposed detention basins will “detain over 40 acre-feet of water and sediment, thereby reducing life and safety threats as well as the risk of post-wildfire flooding.” People are also reading… The city intends to construct these basins on a 20-acre parcel of city-owned land at the northeast corner of the intersection of Mt. Elden Lookout Road and Schultz Pass Road. This location reportedly “allows for significant detention of flood waters and retention of debris before they flow downstream into neighborhoods.” The release also noted that “flood modeling shows considerable post-wildfire flooding impacts to the 20-acre parcel, regardless of the installation of the detention basins, with a recent rain event resulting in significant scouring and other erosion impacts at this location.” Part of the grant agreement is that the city will provide a match of at least $750,000, said city stormwater manager Ed Schenk. He’s hopeful that the combined funds will be sufficient to complete the project. “Assuming that there's not a bunch of bedrock,” Schenk said. “We have what's called a rock clause. If there is a fair amount of rock, the cost could escalate, and the city will pick up that extra cost.” Schenk also reported that the city will be designing the detention basins with “multiple beneficial use” in mind. “There is a lack of trail access to all the trails around Dry Lake hillside,” he said. “So the hope is for it to be multiple beneficial use as for recreation in the future. But obviously, right now, the primary need is for flood mitigation.” According to the release, the basins are scheduled to be “installed and delivered in late summer and fall of 2022.” A 90-day project period is actually mandated by the grant, Schenk explained. “The type of funding is NRCS emergency watershed protection exigency funding,” he said. “With that, the original project is for 10 days. We were able to get a 90-day extension.” The City of Flagstaff continues to pursue funding opportunities and identify mitigation projects in the Schultz Creek watershed, but Schenk said, “it’s a little too early to release that.” “We're very excited to be working with NRCS,” he added. “We think [this project] is going to have real meaningful impact for the folks that have seen some flooding recently.” Detention basins similar to those proposed have been implemented with success in other flood-impacted areas, including in the Timberline area east of Flagstaff and in Spruce Wash. Formal grant award agreements from NRCS are still pending. The forecast from the National Weather Service continues to call for a high likelihood of rain in the Flagstaff area into the middle of next week, with at least a 60% chance of precipitation each day through Thursday. The official tally, based out of the airport, has the city on pace for a normal July of rainfall, but still several inches behind the average year to date.

116 homes, other structures burned in wildfire near Yosemite; thousands remain evacuated JERSEYDALE, Calif. — At least 116 homes and other structures have been destroyed by a California forest fire near Yosemite National Park, officials said Thursday. The Oak Fire in Mariposa County has charred more than 29 square miles of trees and brush, with 39% containment, Cal Fire said in an incident update. Assessment teams are moving through remote communities in the Sierra Nevada foothills looking for more damage. How big is big?:Oak Fire near Yosemite is California's largest wildfire this year. But how big exactly? As of Wednesday, about 2,200 residents remained under evacuation orders, fire spokesperson Chris Garcia said. Some 6,000 people fled their homes when the blaze erupted last Friday near the town of Midpines. Firefighters have significantly slowed the spread of the fire, allowing officials to lift some evacuation orders for residents of remote mountain communities. Fire spokesperson Chris Garcia said around 3,800 people were allowed to return to their homes starting Tuesday. About 2,200 residents remain under evacuation orders. Ground crews with air support got a break from increased humidity and lower temperatures as monsoonal moisture moved through the Sierra Nevada foothills early this week. Dig deeper:Wildfire, pandemic, gas prices, repeat: It's been a tough run for Yosemite businesses “They’re definitely making good progress,” Garcia said of firefighters working in steep, rugged terrain. Officials were investigating the cause of the fire sparked last Friday southwest of the park, near the town of Midpines.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Dozens of school library books were found in a dumpster outside a Lee County high school. The images were taken outside South Fort Myers High School. The books in the images range from Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five” to historical reference books to biographies like one of former President Bill Clinton. “The first ones you see are very obviously political and historical based. It’s very troubling to see,” said Solana Millia, a former Fort Myers High, now political science college student. “It’s shaking me up talking about it,” said a Lee County school teacher who did not want o be named. She says the tossed books are a waste of resources. “If its happening at one school, you can guarantee that its happening at many other schools.” District leaders said South Fort Myers High School’s library floors were being replaced and that gave staff the opportunity to get rid of books that were not being checked out. A Lee County School District spokesman said in a statement: “Following District protocols, South Fort Myers High School is removing library books from circulation that have not been checked out in six years and recycling them. Through Overdrive on their District issued Chromebooks, students maintain digital access to many of these books and the many more available online in their school library and the Lee County Library system.” People we spoke with said they felt there were better options than the dumpster. “I wanna hope that they’re in bad condition but the ones you see there don’t look like it,” said Millia. “When i was in high school at Fort Myers you know we’d set up a bunch of books on tables and see how many would take them. And those look like pretty interesting books.” “I will tell you this there are so many different places. Homeless shelters, there are the Acts shelter that would love to have things like that,” said the teacher. The district spokesman said the school is planning on “holding back some books to give to students or let them take them home at next week’s open house.” Lee County schools said they do not have information regarding each of the district’s 80 traditional schools and how often or how many books are removed from circulation after not being checked out for six years. Also adding that “donating the books is also an option that schools can employ when taking books out of circulation.”

ATLANTIC CITY — A city man was arrested Thursday after he ran from officers investigating gunshots, police said. At 12:06 p.m., Sgt. Michael Tracy was in the area of Pennsylvania and Arctic avenues when he heard what he believed to be several gunshots a block away at Pennsylvania and Baltic avenues, police said in a news release. Moments later, a notification from the city's gunshot-audio detection system alerted Tracy to several rounds fired in the area of Pennsylvania and Baltic. Tracy immediately responded. Detectives Eric Evans, Christian Ivanov and Darrin Lorady were also in the area and responded, police said. As detectives began to check the area north of Baltic, they saw TajMalik Harris attempt to hide in an alley adjacent to an abandoned church, police said. As the detectives approached Harris, he began to run south, toward Pennsylvania and Baltic. As Harris ran, detectives noticed he was holding an object in his waistband consistent with a pistol. People are also reading… Tracy, who was now at the intersection, intercepted Harris and attempted to apprehend him. Harris assaulted Tracy, and a brief struggle ensued, police said. With assistance from Evans, Harris was ultimately taken into custody. ATLANTIC CITY — James Sarkos has been named acting chief of the Atlantic City Police Departm… During the struggle, a loaded handgun fell from Harris’ waistband, police said. The .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun, loaded with hollow point bullets, is believed to have been used in the earlier shooting. Evidence of gunfire was located at Pennsylvania and Baltic. A search of Harris revealed he was in possession of 50 wax folds of suspected heroin and $588 believed to be proceeds of narcotic sales, police said. As of Thursday night, a shooting victim had not come forward, and there were no reports of property damage. Harris was previously wanted in an April 4 incident in which detectives found a handgun in a vehicle Harris was driving. The investigation led to a search of the vehicle and charges being filed against Harris. Harris, 28, was charged Thursday with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of hollow point ammunition, certain persons not to possess firearms, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession with intent to distribute, possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school zone, possession of a weapon during a drug distribution offense, two counts of aggravated assault, resisting arrest by force, two counts of obstruction and money laundering. He was sent to the Atlantic County jail.

A Millville man was sentenced to 35 years in prison Wednesday in a 2017 Vineland killing, Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae said. Judge Cristen P. D'Arrigo gave Jules Black, of Millville, 25 years for aggravated manslaughter and 10 years for witness tampering. Once released, Black will be subject to five years of parole supervision, Webb-McRae said in a news release. On April 9, 2017, Vineland police and members of the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office responded to a shooting death in the 1000 block of Chestnut Avenue in Vineland. The victim, Christian Rodgers, 26, of Millville, was found dead from a gunshot wound in the rear of a residence, Webb-McRae said. Investigators determined Black shot and killed Rodgers. On Aug. 24, 2018, a witness in the case told the Prosecutor's Office that a threatening letter was sent to their home. Said letter contained violent threats against the witness in an effort to get them to recant and/or not testify at trial, Webb-McRae said. Investigators determined the letter was written by a paramour of Black, Keilah Brooks, at Black's behest. People are also reading… Brooks pleaded guilty to her role in the witness tampering in 2019 and is scheduled for sentencing in October, Webb-McRae said.

The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission approved a strongly worded letter Thursday night questioning Bethlehem developer Lou Pektor’s plans to erect about a dozen industrial-size buildings on green space in Upper Mount Bethel Township. “The township clearly desires this development, as indicated by municipal zoning of the property,” Senior Community Planner Jillian Seitz read from the Valley board’s 11-page letter to the Upper Mount Bethel planning commission. “However, a development of this scale and impact must be thoughtfully and deliberately planned.” She noted any final township approval for the project will affect not only the Slate Belt but adjacent regions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Pektor’s proposed River Pointe Commerce Park is expected to include 12 buildings totaling 5.8 million square feet on about 800 acres. Pektor acquired the property, beginning in fall of 2019, for the project initially known as River Pointe Logistics, along River and Demi roads, about 1 ½ miles from Interstate 80. The project has been heralded by local officials as a possible savior in an area that has struggled to attract jobs and spur economic development. But many residents in the municipality of 6,500, the largest in Northampton County in terms of land size, have opposed the project almost since it was first announced. They have also said they would support new business, but on a smaller scale. “I just wish [Pektor] would downsize this development,” resident Fran Visicario said. The letter from the planning commission, an advisory group that issues recommendations to municipal planners, carries no legal authority. But it is filled with suggestions on how Pektor should consider proceeding, including steps on sewage treatment, road improvements, emergency access and more. Before commissoners unanimously approved the comments, several members outlined concerns ranging from how to deal with sewage, increased traffic and whether Pektor’s proposal will actually pay for itself or lead to higher property taxes. “This is important for the [township] elected officials, that the potential for this development to pay for itself now or in the future is questionable,” commission Vice Chair Christopher Amato said. “I’m concerned that this could become a burden to the taxpaying public.” Through a spokesperson, Pektor, who attended the virtual meeting, declined to comment. The land has been zoned industrial since the 1970s and is in a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance zone, which gives property owners a break on real estate taxes associated with improvements or new construction. The taxes are phased in at 10% a year over a decade. Martin Pinter, Upper Mount Bethel supervisor chairperson, said supervisors in the past chose not to change the zoning from industrial to open space. He said the project would bring high-paying jobs to township residents and others. Township resident Judy Henckel was among others who thanked the Valley planning group for its letter. “This gives us a way to say we are not just shooting off our mouths,” Henckel said. “We have something to back us up.” Pinter and others encouraged future dialogue among local and regional planners. “I want to say that the board does take a serious look at your comments,” he told the Valley group. “We may be at odds on certain things, but we do take them into consideration.” The controversial development was also reviewed Tuesday during the planning the commission’s monthly comprehensive planning meeting.

LOGANSPORT, Ind. — A statewide Silver Alert has been declared for a 19-year-old man missing from Logansport. Police say 19-year-old Nicodemus Smith was last seen at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 28 and is believed to be in danger and may require medical assistance. Smith is described as a 6-foot, 1-inch, 160-pound white male with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen driving a silver 2013 Toyota Corolla with Indiana license plate BUP928. Anyone with information about Nicodemus Smith or his location is urged to contact the Logansport Police Department at 574-722-6060 or call 911. Amber Alert vs. Silver Alert: What's the difference? There are specific standards a person's disappearance must meet in order for police to declare an Amber Alert or a Silver Alert. Amber Alerts are for children under the age of 18 who are believed to have been abducted and in danger. Police also need to have information about a suspect and their car to issue an Amber Alert. Silver Alerts are for missing and endangered adults or children. They are much more common for missing people. It was not until last year when the standards for Silver Alerts were expanded to include children. In both situations, these alerts must be issued by police.

The smoke is often visible from miles away. The effects are devastating. Structure fires leave behind more than just rubble and embers after they are put out, they can leave behind heartbreak and life-disrupting decisions. “You can see the emotion on their face,” Boise Fire Department Fire Marshal Mike Bisagno said. “We try everything we can to stop the fire, to first and foremost save lives. And then also trying to save property.” Fire departments in the Treasure Valley have responded to multiple structure fires in recent weeks. The Boise Fire Department alone has had three large fires: the Idaho Youth Ranch warehouse on July 18, a double house fire on July 21 and a two-story house fire on July 23 . But according to data provided by the Boise and Meridian fire departments, this year’s structure fire numbers seem to be tracking with previous years. In Boise, there have been seven structure fires in July as of July 23. In previous years, Boise had 10 structure fires in July 2021, five in July 2020, 10 in July 2019 and eight in July of 2018. In Meridian, the numbers appear to go up a little with each year. In the months of June and July of this year, Meridian has had nine structure fires. This is up from six in 2021, five in 2020 and two in 2019. “Although Meridian is largely new construction, that doesn’t always mean safer,” Meridian Fire Chief Kris Blume said in an email. “Modern lightweight construction, which is most of what Meridian is seeing, actually burns hotter, faster and is much more dangerous for residents and firefighters than what is considered legacy construction.” The effects of structure fires can be devastating. On July 27, there was a structure fire in Meridian that displaced five individuals, according to a press release from the Meridian Fire Department. But there are some preventative measures that can be taken to reduce the risk of structure fires. According to Bisagno, most of the recent fires’ causes are still under investigation and the department ruled the cause of the Idaho Youth Ranch fire as "undetermined" on Thursday. But there have been several fires this year that have occurred from people trying to put out their cigarettes in the potting soil of planter boxes. “Potting soil is almost all combustible. You think it's dirt, but it's not. It's a lot of wood product in it and there's Styrofoam,” Bisango said. “So a lot of people don't know what they're doing. It'll combust and next thing you know, oftentimes you know our flower beds are right next to the house. Crawls right up the house and next thing you know you have a structure fire.” Bisagno instead recommends using a noncombustible container with sand in it or an ashtray to put out the cigarettes. Smokers should also keep an eye on their cigarette to make sure it’s out and “out safely.” Similar principles apply for disposal of smoking materials like coals. A noncombustible container, specifically used for coals, should be used. It should also be kept away from the side of the house. Bisango said coals should still be monitored when dumping the container. Blume recommended wetting the items down before disposing of them. Another thing to pay attention to in order to prevent home and structure fires is items that can spontaneously combust, like rechargeable batteries and oil-soaked rags. “I make sure to use the manufacturer's chargers and then I also remove the batteries from the chargers and place them in a place where if they were to ignite they're not going to catch anything else on fire,” Bisagno said. He also said people should take care not to overload power strips and extension cords. Oftentimes, overloading a power strip is not determined by whether there are still open outlets on the strip. It all has to do with how many amps the power strip can take. “The safest way to (prevent overload) is plug equipment directly into the wall,” Bisagno said. “Your breakers are there to protect you and not all of these power strips and extension cords have that capability.” In terms of oil-soaked rags, Bisagno said, if someone is going to use rags to stain wood, they need to lay the rags out flat to dry outside away from anything that could catch on fire. Rags should never be crumpled up into a ball. Finally, basic house upkeep and repair will help homeowners prevent house fires. This upkeep can even temper the severity of the fire, according to Bisagno. “Honestly, again, that depends on how you treat your house. You know, sometimes it's just bad luck,” Bisagno said. “But as far as the severity of it, it honestly depends on the way the building was at the time that the fire began ... If you practice good housekeeping and keep everything in repair, the chances of these accidents happening diminish greatly.”

Call 9 1 1. && Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," speaks at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, Saturday, April 30, 2022, in Washington. "The Daily Show" stopped in Boise to film a segment about the Greater Idaho movement. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah sent correspondent Ronny Chieng to downtown Boise to ask residents the hard questions, like “would you guys be OK with having to drive an extra six hours for legal weed?” Chieng was sent by the Comedy Central show to investigate the Greater Idaho movement. The movement’s stated goal is to have parts of the more-rural and conservative eastern Oregon join Idaho, leaving behind the more-populated and liberal part of the state. “No, that doesn’t sound good,” a woman said to Chieng, about driving the extra distance for legal recreational marijuana. “At that point you might as well drive to Mexico and get some fresh cocaine,” Chieng replied. The video is full of humorous moments, like when Chieng narrated his journey to “downtown – uh – Idaho.” But leaders of the movement have been working on their case for at least two years. Several Oregon counties have voted on whether to explore moving the border, with at least two counties rejecting ballot measures and nine others voting in favor of studying the issue. However, the movement is unlikely to succeed, according to an expert quoted in the show. The segment aired on Wednesday's episode of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. The full episode can be seen on Comedy Central's website.

Wednesday was Rachel Murphy’s fourth trip to the Meridian Foodbank – a resource helping to provide for her family. “This helps save money on groceries so that we can still pay our bill,” she said. Murphy said she makes a good living, but with expensive groceries and gas, something had to give, and she’s not alone. Meridian Foodbank Executive Director Dan Clark said the food bank went from serving about 2,800 people each month to 4,200 per month in the last year. The food bank is located at 133 W Broadway Ave. Fifteen miles to the west, Care House Food Bank at Nampa First Church of the Nazarene is seeing a similar increase. “We’re going to three to four grocery stores three times a week to get food to fill our shelves, and then we are purchasing food also, so that we can make sure we have enough on the shelves,” Care House Food Bank spokesperson Tony Johnson said. Care House and the church are located at 1524 6th St. S. During the pandemic, Clark said, fewer people visited food banks because some received food through government programs like “Farmers to Families.” But now that those programs are over, food banks are back to filling the need. Johnson said he believes inflation is partly to blame. “We’re finding out that with the rising rent costs and the rising gasoline costs, the rent eats first, the gasoline eats second," Johnson said. "So, the family has very little to buy food to eat." In addition to helping families, Care House serves a significant number of senior citizens. Johnson said 30% of its customers are over the age of 65. JJ Maquina started going to the Meridian Foodbank about three months ago. He receives a monthly Social Security payment. He said that money only goes so far. Maquina said he gets $861 per month and after paying rent and other expenses, he has "very little" left. “Not that I'm starving to death, but I have very little money left over for food," he said. The food bank not only benefits Maquina, but also his whole family. He said he helps his grandkids, great grandkids and daughter make sure they have food on the table. To help meet increased demand, community donations are important. Johnson said giving left over bulk food, canned items or fresh produce from your garden to food banks can help a family in need.

Michigan lawmaker requests probe into NMU land deal tied to $8M state grant Concerns around a land deal involving Northern Michigan University's foundation, a former Upper Penninsula hospital and a Marquette-based developer who serves on the NMU board have prompted a state lawmaker to ask Attorney General Dana Nessel to investigate. The deal has raised questions of a "potential conflict of interest" and "possible misuse of state and local public funds," according to a 13-page letter that Rep. Sara Cambensy, D-Marquette, wrote Thursday. Part of the concern involves the recently signed $76 billion budget, which included $8 million allocated for vacant building demolition at the site of the former hospital in a $1 billion pork barrel spending part of the bill. At issue is the property of the old Marquette General Hospital, which is located near the university's campus. The community-owned hospital was purchased in 2012 by the for-profit Lifepoint Health. The company built a new hospital downtown, UP Health System-Marquette, and the old hospital building has been for sale for several years. Enter Robert Mahaney, who was appointed in 2015 by then-Gov. Rick Snyder to an eight-year term on the NMU board. McHaney is president of the Veridea Group, a Marquette-based real estate development and hotel management firm, according to NMU's website. Mahaney entered into an agreement with Lifepoint to buy the property three years ago. "While I am unclear and not aware of the private nature of that transaction, that sale did not conclude," Cambensy wrote. "What is clear is that Bob Mahaney and Veridea Group remained interested in acquiring that property." Last summer, Brad Canale, CEO of the NMU Foundation, began discussions with Lifepoint to buy the property for $1 and transfer it Veridea and Mahaney, an ex-officio member to the NMU Foundation Board, according to Cambensy's letter. The plan included Lifepoint providing a $10 million “donation” to the NMU Foundation on the condition that the NMU Foundation provide over 52,000 square feet of office space for seven years. The transfer of the property from the NMU Foundation to Veridea also was to include that Veridea would received tax considerations for the demolition of the property. Mahaney, Canale and the Attorney General's office could not be reached for comment. In a $1 billion part of the state budget set aside for lawmakers' pet projects, $8 million was dedicated to demolish a vacant building at the former hospital site. "It is now my understanding that the MEDC is prepared to award the NMU Foundation and this project another $5 million for the demolition of the buildings as well," Cambensy said. NMU spokesman Derek Hall said university leaders received Cambensy’s letter on Thursday, the same day it was released publicly. "The details provided in the letter are under review," Hall said in an email. "The hospital redevelopment project is an NMU Foundation effort. The NMU Foundation is a separate entity with their own leadership and governing board." Reached by phone, Cambensy said there are several questions that don't sit well with the public including the involvement of the NMU foundation to negotiate a deal in 2019 between two private entitites; the conflict of interest involving Mahaney in his role as NMU board member and CEO of the company involved in the deal, and the whether "an insider was trying to negotiate a deal to benefit himself or his company." Lastly, the taxation piece is a concern along with the lack of transparency from the NMU foundation and Mahaney, the lawmaker said. "All government bodies and those that are serving in those positions, appointed or elected, have the obligation to operate in the public eye and always put the public’s best interest first and not a private interest," said Cambensy. "A lot of people are questioning if we have appointed board members at Northern Michigan University that are using their position to benefit financially." kkozlowski@detroitnews.com

We've all seen (and heard, and even smelled) them throughout the city, and the problem is only seemingly getting worse — but one city department is offering a new idea on how to deal with New York City's ongoing rat problem. The Department of Sanitation wants to change the times that trash is hitting the curbs at night, so that the waste is not out as long and giving the rodents less time to smell and go after it. Currently, garbage can go to the curb at 4 p.m. the day before it is scheduled for collection. But the DSNY wants New Yorkers to start putting out their trash later at night, around 8 p.m. Their idea does come with an exception: If the refuse goes into a can or bin, it could be put out a little earlier, at 6 p.m. The department believes that by limiting the amount of time the garbage is out on the street, the rats will be seen less and have less access to food. The idea is just a proposal, for now. Any rule change would take six months to go into effect, if approved.

PORTLAND, Oregon — Another Portland neighborhood became the city's latest scene of deadly gun violence Wednesday evening. Police converged on Southeast 126th Avenue near the intersection with East Burnside Street just after 8p.m., following multiple calls reporting gunfire. Emergency dispatchers said they could hear gunfire in the background on more than one of the calls. Witnesses in the vicinity gave a first-hand account of the violence. "He pulled out basically multiple guns one after the other and emptied whatever clip or ammunition that he had," said Matthew McGill. Other neighbors who spoke to KGW on Thursday said gunfire is not uncommon in that part of the city, but neighbor Rick Kallen said the gunfire on Wednesday seemed more random. "This was like bang bang bang bang bang and it was hard to tell where it was coming from," he said. Kallen said he and his wife soon realized the shooting was coming from a neighbor's property right across the street, and then an officer in armored response gear arrived their back door, asking to come inside to get a better view of the situation. Kallen said the only thing he could see was the neighbor's young daughter, who he said is about five or six years old, out on the porch near her armed dad. Taking cover, Kallen couldn't see. But he could hear. "During the last round of shots, we heard the sound I’d become familiar with, the sort of banging sound. And then there was one really loud bang, and my car alarm went off. And when I looked out the front I saw officers removing the daughter from the scene and I could see somebody on the porch face down," he said. The incident rattled Kallen and other neighbors, including a man living next to the home where the shootout occurred, who did not want KGW to use his name. "His daughter was really nice, his wife was really nice when they were out, and it just blows my mind that possibly a neighbor got killed," he said. The impact of guns and violence can be felt in this neighborhood and across Portland, where police have been sent rushing to call after call. The past week has seen multiple other police shooting incidents including a domestic violence call for a 19-year-old with a gun that may have gone off in a scuffle with officers. An officer then shot and killed him. In another case in North Portland, an officer fired on a suspect fleeing in a truck, who police said tried to run the officer down. That suspect got away. In the heat of summer, it's never been worse, according to Portland Police Bureau North Precinct Commander Tina Jones. She asked for community support of officers she said are overburdened and frustrated. "We are in uncharted waters and it's so scary; each and every day it just feels like our team is going out and doing the best they can to handle the emergency calls for service that keep piling in (and) they're trying to stay safe," she said. Back in the Hazelwood Neighborhood, residents like Dotti Williams said they too are tired of the violence. "Having guns is not the answer to your problems, I don't like guns anyway, I don't like people shooting at each other, I don't like none of that, violence at all really," she said.

PORTLAND, Ore. — After 69 people died in Multnomah County from the June 2021 heat wave, county leaders said it would be critical to "enhance" door-to-door checks and other outreach efforts to help at-risk people during the next heat crisis. Now that the county, city of Portland and state have declared emergencies due to the heat wave, how is the Portland area handling these in-person checks? "Events of last summer were heartbreaking and I think it just made a change of mind and change of heart, it motivates people so much to be proactive in this incident," said Jonna Papaefthimiou, chief resilience officer for the city of Portland. Papefthimiou said the city and county spent more time preparing for intense heat this summer, and housing providers are more actively checking on residents. She said Portland is leaving much of the in-person checks to nonprofit groups, volunteer organizations and housing providers, while municipal resources have focused on expanding cooling areas. Additionally, she said the city is sending out tens of thousands of automated to calls to people in high-risk "heat islands" — places that get hotter than the rest of the city — to encourage people to check on their neighbors and loved ones. "There’s never going to be enough firefighters or even enough trained volunteers to go and knock on every single door, but everybody has somebody who cares about them and that has to be the solution," she said. Caleb Coder and volunteers from nonprofit organization Cultivate Initiatives loaded up coolers with ice and water bottles Thursday. A group of four, including Coder and two local nursing students, drove to an East Portland mobile home park on Thursday; rolling wagons of supplies around and offering water, electrolytes, food, and supplies to anyone who might need them They're part of the network of people the city and county rely on for door-knocking in the heat, reaching people who might not have air conditioning or access to other resources and emergency notifications. "It's hot, we're just seeing what people need," Coder said. The group described what they had to offer in English and Spanish, asking residents if they knew of anyone who could use a cool-down. "So many of the deaths we saw last year are people that lived alone, didn’t have people to check on them, and so what we have to do is create a cultural shift where people recognize heat is a life-threatening emergency," Papefthimiou said. Multnomah County and Portland leaders said they shifted their messaging this year away from alerts telling people to stay cool and safe, instead emphasizing that people should check on family members and neighbors near them. Papefthimiou said rather than trying to reach people who are already difficult to contact in a heat emergency, encouraging community outreach and check-ins are most effective. Most people who died from the 2021 heat wave lived alone and were over 60 years old. In addition, the city's effort to send out thousands of robocalls through the emergency alert system to people in targeted areas is an attempted widespread strategy. "In this case, it’s the best way for us to reach hundreds of thousands of people in one day and remind them to check on their neighbors, to check on people that they care about," Papefthimiou said.

RICHMOND, Va. – Southwest Virginia has seen its fair share of flooding this year, and the line of storms from July 27 caused even more flooding. In response to the floods, the Governor has taken action to send relief. On Thursday, Governor Glenn Youngkin declared a state of emergency to assist with response and recovery efforts due to the impacts of heavy rainfall and flooding in the Southwest region of the Commonwealth. The state of emergency will allow for the Commonwealth to mobilize resources and deploy people and equipment to assist with recovery efforts, the release said, and it also allows Virginia officials to coordinate the distribution of resources with state and local partners. Youngkin’s office said that the Virginia Emergency Support Team has been monitoring the situation and that the weather has already caused flash flooding and significant impacts on roadways and utilities in several localities. According to the release, the Commonwealth is assisting with ongoing response and recovery operations by providing assets and supplies to partners in the area, and the VEST will continue to support the incident. “Southwest Virginia continues to be impacted by flooding after heavy rainfall in the area yesterday,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. “With more rainfall forecasted over the next few days, we want to lean forward in providing as many resources possible to assist those affected. Our team will continue to monitor the situation and provide assistance as needed.” You can read the full order here.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Fishers who like to go to Sand Key Park may have to find new spots to cast their lines starting in August. Two fishing docks located near the Clearwater Pass at Sand Key Park will be demolished beginning Aug. 1. City leaders say this decision was made because of the deterioration and safety concerns with the docks. Back in 2021, a dock inspector completed an underwater inspection and determined the docks weren't in good condition. They reportedly said there were problems with rotting framing, hardware and pilings. Anyone interested in looking at the inspection report can click here.

PATRICK COUNTY, Va. – A new booth at FloydFest aims to address nationwide sexual assault by spreading awareness to thousands of people. The new booth, SoulShine, is offering consent education and resources for survivors. Licensed counselors have early evidence kits on-site for DNA collection after a sexual assault. People can also contact a staff member through the radio at the festival if they want immediate intervention or mental health resources. The state health department and other health partners provided 7,000 condoms for distribution and Plan B pills at the event. Sexual assault is not prevalent at FloydFest, but with up to 15,000 people visiting the festival this week, SoulShine Founder Lisa D’Alessio said she wants to push out negative stigmas on the topic. “I think empowerment is really important in the healing process,” she said. “This is a human issue not just a gender issue. It happens to everyone and we just want people to feel seen and heard. Leda Health partnered with Soulshine to offer anonymous consent violation forms to keep cases discreet. In a statement, the CEO and co-founder of Leda Health, Madison Campbell, expressed her thoughts on the new partnership at the festival. “Leda Health is thrilled to be partnering with Soulshine Event Services to educate FloydFest attendees about sexual assault resources and address the mental health needs of survivors. It’s remarkable to see the steps FloydFest has taken this year to provide the resources to ensure concertgoers feel safe and protected, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact of making these critical services accessible to attendees,” Campbell said.

ROANOKE, Va. – Roanoke County Schools is looking to help train the next generation of students. School leaders are looking for businesses to step in and help participate in an apprenticeship program to help students become productive in life. Phoenix Angell now works at Balzar and Associates in Roanoke, but he got his start as a student apprentice in Roanoke County Public Schools. “The student registered apprenticeship program was extremely helpful in getting me where I am now,” Angell said. Angell is now running a crew and making a decent living right out of high school. “I don’t know where I would be if the program didn’t exist, probably still in college, not enjoying it, just trying to force myself down a career path that I wouldn’t like,” Angell said. Angell is one of the dozens of students who went through the student registered apprenticeship program. “It really was an opportunity that was brought to us by local businesses. We would love to employ your high school-age students,” Roanoke County Schools Superintendent Ken Nicely said. Nicely said students get hands-on experience in different industries, like manufacturing and construction, and their goal is to ensure the students have options like entering the workforce or continuing their education after graduating. To have the program be as successful as possible, they want companies to get more students involved. Last year, 23 students and 13 businesses took part in the program. “We want businesses to be aware of the opportunities they had to work with these students and create opportunities, later on, again it’s a win, win,” Nicely said.

A U.S. defense contractor and his wife charged with fraudulently living for decades under the stolen identities of two dead infants told family they were going into the witness protection program before abruptly abandoning their house and leaving Texas about 40 years ago, a federal prosecutor said Thursday. At some point, Walter Glenn Primrose and Gwynn Darle Morrison reemerged with new names and other explanations for lives cloaked in mystery. The couple told people they were dodging legal and financial trouble, Assistant U.S. Attorney Wayne Myers said. Primrose told someone he was a government agent who couldn't be photographed. Intriguing details that emerged during a bail hearing in a Honolulu court were enough to get Primrose detained without bail but provided little clarity on why the couple shed their past and whether the criminal case against them is more serious than identity theft. Myers successfully sought to have Primrose detained because his "life has been a fraud for the last several decades," including more than 20 years in the U.S. Coast Guard where he earned a secret-level security clearance. After retiring in 2016, he used secret clearance for his defense job. A search of the couple's Hawaii home turned up Polaroids of the couple wearing jackets that appear to be authentic Russian KGB uniforms, Myers said. An expert determined the snapshots were taken in the 1980s. The search also yielded an invisible ink kit, documents with coded language and maps showing military bases, Myers said. Local The latest news from around North Texas. When the couple was left in a room together, they were recorded saying "things consistent with espionage," Myers said. "We think the defendant is obviously quite adept at impersonating other people, obtaining government ID documents, fraud, avoiding detection," Myers said. "He may -- we're not saying for sure -- but he may have some troubling foreign connections. And if he does, he might be able to use those to enlist help." Federal defender Craig Jerome said the government only provided "speculation and innuendo" that the couple was involved in something more nefarious than "purely white-collar nonviolent offenses." "If it wasn't for the speculation that the government's injected into these proceedings without providing any real evidence ... he would certainly be released," Jerome said. Morrison faces a bail hearing Tuesday. Her lawyer said the couple -- regardless of their names -- had lived law-abiding lives. Attorney Megan Kau told The Associated Press the couple posed for photos in the purported KGB jacket for fun. "She wants everyone to know she's not a spy," Kau said. "This has all been blown way out of proportion. It's government overreaching." The couple, who were arrested Friday at their Kapolei home, are charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the U.S., false statement in a passport application and aggravated identity theft. They face up to 17 years in prison if convicted of all charges. Inside their house, investigators discovered correspondence in which an associate believed Primrose had joined the CIA or had become a terrorist, Myers said. When they left Texas in the early 1980s and claimed they were protected witnesses, they handed over the keys to their Nacogdoches house and told family members to take anything they wanted. The house was later foreclosed on. In 1987, Primrose took on the identity of Bobby Edward Fort, an infant who died in 1967 in Burnet, Texas. Morrison took the identity of Julie Lyn Montague, who died in 1968 at the same hospital as Fort. Primrose and Morrison, both born in 1955, were more than a decade older than the birth dates listed on their new IDs. "The defendant and his wife reportedly told yet other associates that they needed to change their names because of legal and financial reasons," Myers said. "And that going forward they can be contacted using their new names, Fort and Montague." They remarried under their assumed names in 1988, according to court records. Morrison used her real name to open a post office box, where she told family to contact her. When her father died, her family couldn't reach her and enlisted local law enforcement to track her down. "Even the defendant's family cannot find him when they need to," Myers said. Prosecutors feared Primrose would flee if freed. They noted in court papers that he was an avionics electrical technician in the Coast Guard and was highly skilled to communicate secretly if released. The judge said he based his detention order on the alleged fraud "over multiple occasions spanning a long period of time."

Providence council sends question on partially-elected school board to voters PROVIDENCE — The City Council voted in favor of putting the question of a half-elected, half-appointed school board on the ballot in November. Now, the issue will be sent to the secretary of state and the voters will answer. Councilwomen Helen Anthony, Rachel Miller, Kat Kerwin and Nirva LaFortune and Councilmen David Salvatore and Oscar Vargas were absent, meaning more than a third of the council was not part of the vote. The nine members present all voted in favor. Previously:Providence Charter panel recommends hybrid school board, 5 members elected, 5 appointed The question asks voters whether they'd support expanding the city's school board from nine members to 10. Five would be elected during the November 2024 election "from each of the five (5) equal electoral regions representing the North, South, East, West and Central areas of the City," the question reads. The other five would be appointed by the mayor. Appointees would be limited to one per region. Other questions on the ballot The council also approved seven other questions to be sent to the ballot related to construction contracting, the hiring of consultants, the application of personnel regulations, and other matters. Earlier this month, Mayor Jorge Elorza voiced his objections to a hybrid board, concerned it would become political. School, think tank, full-time council:Providence reparations panel's growing agenda "I get the sense that we got to do something different because the schools are just not getting any better, so I share that sentiment," Elorza said. "However, I think this idea of an elected school board, whether it’s hybrid or all elected, is just a terrible idea. I don’t see how injecting more politics into public schools is a solution." Providence School Board leaders have also opposed the proposal. Vice President Diagneris Garcia has said it would "eliminate diversity" and that it is a "misguided" idea. Meanwhile, President Kinzel Thomas has said he is "skeptical that an elected school board is a better path to this end."

PORTLAND, Maine — After a Catholic priest was recently cleared of sexual abuse allegations brought by two women, advocates are pushing for the alleged victims to seek justice in civil court. Attorney Mark Randall represents one of the two women who accused Father Robert Vaillancourt of sexual abuse in the 1980s. He tells NEWS CENTER Maine that the conclusion of the internal investigation by the Maine Catholic Diocese clearing Vaillancourt was shameful. "They are really invalidating, or trying to invalidate, these victims' claims publicly," Randal said. Last September, NEWS CENTER Maine spoke exclusively to Randall's client, who came forward after being silent for 39 years. The alleged victim, who did not want to be identified, told us she was just 15 when Vaillancourt sexually assaulted her in the basement and in the rectory of the former St. Andre's Catholic Church in Biddeford. She says Vaillancourt was in charge of the youth program and had befriended her. "I felt like I could trust him, and eventually, he raped me," the woman said. According to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, interviews with 30 individuals, reviews of records, and documents did not find evidence that the alleged events occurred. The Diocese of Portland's Review Board upheld the findings and cleared Vaillancourt, who had been on administrative leave, to return to ministry services. Randall's client filed statements with both the Biddeford Police Department and the Maine Catholic Diocese investigators, but says she didn't participate in the investigation because she believed it would be a one-sided process. NEWS CENTER Maine has reached out for a statement regarding the investigative process, but a spokesperson for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland has not responded to our request. "They are eyewitnesses to their own crime," said Paul Kendrick. Kendrick, formerly of the Voice of Faithful, is an outspoken advocate for victims of clergy sex abuse. He calls the decision to reinstate Vaillancourt a travesty. But he says the two women can file a civil claim against the long-time priest, under a new Maine law that removed the statute of limitations for survivors of child sexual abuse. "In the civil courtroom, he will be called to the witness stand," Kendrick explained. As for Randall's client, she's even more determined to pursue the civil court system as a means of justice. "There is a disappointment, but she has the conviction to see it through," Randall said. Randall says there are plans to file a civil suit against Vaillancourt and the Maine Catholic Diocese, but is not saying when. According to the Portland diocese, Father Vaillancourt is returning to active ministry effective immediately, but he has not yet been assigned to a new post.

BATH, Maine — The organization, Maine’s First Ship, located in Bath, was invited to share a historic ship at the Colonial Pemaquid event on Saturday. The event will celebrate European and Indigenous watercraft from the 17th century, perfect for "Jane Stevens," a 17th-century-inspired rowing shallop. Instead of driving the boat to the event, the crew at Maine’s First Ship had an idea to instead row across the coast of Maine to the event. “And they started to get excited, and I was like, ‘Absolutely, let’s do it.’ What a great way to get people together and get people excited to continue to share the history of this place and to promote the event in Colonial Pemaquid." Kirstie Truluck, executive director of Maine’s First Ship, said. Truluck is part of the first leg of the three-day journey from Bath to Bristol along with five other rowers and a helmsman. Everyone involved is a volunteer from the public or associated with Maine’s First Ship. “I love traditional wooden boats, and I love rowing, and I love adventure. So the combination of the three brought me here today,” Nicolle Littrell, owner of DoryWoman Rowing in Belfast, said. “I’m excited! I’m hoping to see some seals,” Mandy Reynolds, a friend of Maine’s First Ship, said. “Kirstie Truluck is a very convincing executive director.” “It didn’t take much convincing for me,” Sean Ireland, an advisory board member of Maine’s First Ship, said. Jane Stevens started rowing out of Bath a little before 2 p.m. on Thursday to the sound of a single shot from a cannon. The first crew of seven plan to travel about seven miles to their first destination between Georgetown and Macmahan Island. From there, a second seven-person crew will take over for the next two days of rowing to finish at Fort William Henry in Bristol, where the historic watercraft event will take place.

DAMARISCOTTA, Maine — The Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta announced that they launched a scholarship fund in memory of Paris Pierpont. According to a release issued Thursday by the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest and Regatta, Pierpont's aspiration was to become an EMT and nurse, and this newly established scholarship fund was created to help others achieve that goal. "The Paris Pierpont Memorial Scholarship will provide financial assistance to awarded individuals enrolled in EMT, AEMT, or the Paramedic programs offered by United Training Center in Maine, and who will serve in Lincoln County," the release says. According to the release, Paris Pierpont was a rising senior at Medomak Valley High School in Waldoboro. When she died in a car crash in 2021, she had plans to pursue her EMT certification following graduation in order to serve Lincoln County. RELATED: Edgecomb crash kills Jefferson teen "The interest, dedication, tenacity, and commitment of Paris Pierpont, to the science of producing giant pumpkins, alongside her father, Edwin Pierpont, was an inspirational key in breaking the state record with a whopping 2,121-pound pumpkin," the release states. "Paris attributed the science of pumpkin growing, as well as the ability to help others, as elements of her goal of becoming an Emergency Medical Services professional." "She, along with her family, have been integrally involved in the Pumpkinfest for years," Suzanne Gandy, a public relations officer with the Damariscotta Pumpkinfest, said in an email on Thursday. "Incidentally, they hold the state record for growing the largest pumpkin recorded in Maine!" The release says the scholarship awards will range from $1,000 to $6,500 and will provide support for the careers of emergency medical staff in the Damariscotta community.

BANGOR, Maine — Kids in Bangor on Thursday were able to experience something out of this world. Campers at the Challenger Learning Center of Maine made a connection to space, live chatting with International Space Station Astronaut Bob Hines. Bob Hines called in using amateur radio, giving kids at Challenger Centers across the country the opportunity to ask questions. "This is really a, I don't want to say once in a life opportunity, but a really rare opportunity that an astronaut is currently aboard the ISS and able to talk live with them," Lead Flight Director at the Challenger Learning Center of Maine Sarah Raymond-Boyan said. Elin Main, a camper going into second grade, asked the first question live from Bangor. "Going to space must change your perspective of the world. What is your favorite experience of living in space you like to tell your family and friends? Over,” Main asked. “I like especially watching sunsets and watching the Aurora -- the northern and southern lights," Hines responded. "Those are really, really beautiful.” Raymond-Boyan says she hopes this opportunity will help the kids aim for the stars one day. “Being able to be that spark to get them excited in science whether it's through space or through something else just to know that that could be them up there someday,” Raymond-Boyan said. Today, Hines may have already inspired a future generation showing them they, too, can reach past the stars. Elias Porter, a fourth grader, says he has a new dream that’s out of this world. “Talking to real astronauts is a dream, but my dream is to become the first person on Mars,” Porter said.

ORONO, Maine — Maine Central Institute’s (MCI) Bossov Ballet Theatre is set to perform “Giselle” at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine in Orono. Shows times are Friday, July 29 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, July 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $23 to $33 and can be bought at the door or on the Collins Center for the Arts’ website. “It’s an iconic ballet. The story is sad, but at the same time, it is uplifting because it moves you as a person, it moves all kinds of different emotions within you," Natalya Getman, Bossov Ballet Theatre’s artistic director, said. The ballet is based on a story by Theophile Gautier and Jules Henri Vernoy de St. Georges, according to MCI, and tells the story of love and heartbreak. These performances will mark the second time the Bossov Ballet Theatre has performed at the Collins Center for the Arts. “This is all part of our summer intensive at Bossov Ballet that we do every year ... Bossov Ballet has existed for more than 25 years ... I think the quality of performances are improving from year to year," Getman said. The lead role of the character Giselle will be performed by two different Maine native performers -- one taking on the role Friday and the other Saturday. Cumberland native Taylor Pronovost will be performing the character Giselle Friday night. Pronovost says performing the part of Giselle has been her goal since a young age. She says they also performed "Giselle" during one of her first and most memorable years at Bossov. “I was a younger dancer and I was trying very hard to get into the corps de ballet ... If you come and see the show, you’ll see its beauty and its technicality, and so for me, that was so important and I was lucky enough to be able to dance that. And so now that I’m dancing the lead role, Giselle, it’s almost like a full circle,” Pronovost said. Saturday’s "Giselle" will be performed by Jane Weymouth of Pittsfield. Weymouth was just 10 years old the first time she saw the ballet "Giselle" performed. She was captivated from that point on and would study online videos of the ballet in her room to learn the part. All that effort and passion would follow her to Bossov Ballet Theatre and land her the role. “I’m really looking forward to it. It’s actually my dream role. It’s very exciting for me. I’ve told all of my family and I’m very happy to be able to dance with a cast like this and with all of these wonderful people. It’s really exciting.” Weymouth said.

BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Maine — For most of us, our knowledge of a lobster's life begins when they’re large enough to eat, and that’s usually at least seven years into their lives. Researchers with the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR), along with partners from Hood College, the University of New England, and Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, work from June through October each year since 2018 to catch and study the crustaceans in their tiny larval stage to understand how temperature influences where they choose to move and live at the bottom of the ocean. Jesica Waller is the director of the division of biological monitoring and assessment within DMR and has been excited to dive into the work. That work begins with dragging a net across the top of the ocean's surface to catch the nearly invisible larvae. "It just feels like a little mystery that you're solving every time," Waller said, describing each time her team checks their nets. Back in the lab, Waller's team wants to know how temperature affects lobsters in their youth. "So, we know that lobsters are really sensitive to temperature," Waller explained. "It really impacts both their growth, their development, their behavior, where they choose to live in the water column, and, we think, ultimately where they choose to settle." Within the last two decades, the Gulf of Maine has been warming faster than 99 percent of the rest of the world’s oceans, according to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute. This research could help scientists and fishermen alike understand if climate change pushes lobster populations to cooler waters.

The fifth grader with a streak of blue in her hair was just trying to win a friendly race when she found herself in the path of the car. Sage Stanley had challenged her younger brother Ian to a first-to-the-other-side contest at the 13th Street crosswalk in front of Saratoga Elementary School. It was the start of another school week in late September — fall was a couple of days away — and Jade Stanley had dropped off her kids a couple of blocks away and let them walk to school. But before the race could begin, the two siblings pressed the crosswalk button and waited. “It was all proper on their end,” she said. When the signal changed, Sage beat her brother into the street — and into the direct line of a 2007 Hyundai Elantra that blew through the red light. "Surprisingly, she didn't break anything," Jade Stanley said. "She had a couple of bad gashes on her face. … The side that had gotten hit (had) a lot of marks and road rashes, scrapes, bruises. She was in a lot of pain for that next week, especially the first few days." People are also reading… While Sage, who was 10 years old at the time, wasn't seriously injured, the moment scarred her and fourth grader Ian, who witnessed the Sept. 20 crash. "That phone call was terrible," said their mother, who still gets emotional thinking back on it. "It was so scary seeing the ambulance down the road trying to get her." The crash in part prompted Lincoln Transportation and Utilities to enact a number of improvements to the school's traffic zone in hopes of creating a safer environment for pedestrians and motorists alike, Transportation Planner Roberto Partida said. The changes include shortening the 13th Street crosswalk by merging two lanes of southbound traffic and extending a bike lane from South Street to Saratoga Avenue, the street just south of the school. Reflector poles will delineate the crosswalk to motorists, too. "Anytime we can take students and children out of the path of traffic, it's a great way to improve safety," Partida said. The city is also reducing the speed limit at pick-up and drop-off times from 25 mph to 20, and the posted speed limit on 13th Street from South Street to Stillwater Avenue will go from 35 mph to 30. The 16-year-old girl driving the Elantra was going the speed limit at the time of last year's crash but was cited for running the light. New reduced-speed flashers will be installed for drivers heading south on 13th Street just before South Street. And, as part of the improvements, street workers will construct curb ramps and install a crosswalk at 11th Street and Saratoga Avenue to the southwest of the school. The enhancements are expected to be ready for the start of the school year Aug. 15. The city's transportation department is in the continuous process of reviewing and updating all school zones, Partida said, especially when roadway projects are planned in the area. But last September's incident put a focus on Saratoga. "We really made a cognizant effort to go to the community and hear their thoughts on things," he said. Each school has a designated area where parents are encouraged to safely drop off their children, said Lincoln Public Schools Security Director Joe Wright. At newer elementary schools, long drives away from the street allow parents to drop off their children directly in the front of the building. But at older schools — like Saratoga — it's usually just a side street that abuts the school with a drop-off lane. "The old schools are kind of surrounded by the city already," Wright said. "You can't change that city infrastructure. You can't build new streets or add lanes." At Saratoga, parents are told to drop off and pick up their children at the southwest corner of the school going west on Saratoga Avenue, said Principal Marci Imel. Jade Stanley originally dropped off her children there for breakfast at 7:45 a.m. But when the pandemic hit, breakfast service was temporarily halted and children could not show up until 8 a.m., so she started dropping them off a couple of blocks away so they didn't arrive early. The family used to live close to Saratoga and were used to walking to school, but after her daughter was hit, Stanley went back to dropping her kids off at the school. LPS staff are usually assigned by school administrators to monitor high-traffic crosswalks and intersections, but not every crossing can be watched and staff can't by law direct traffic. "Principals have to do a huge math problem of 'Who do I have coming in?'" Wright said. "It's probably a heck of a computation." On the morning Sage Stanley was hit, there was no guard posted at the crosswalk, Jade Stanley said, but there is usually someone there in the afternoon when more students are using it. After the car-pedestrian crash, the school responded promptly. It placed a crossing guard there in the mornings and later that fall held a meeting with city officials and parents to discuss changes to the school zone. "The responsiveness of Saratoga has been great," Jade Stanley said. Crossing guards are now usually placed at the the 13th Street crosswalk, at 13th and Saratoga, and 11th and Saratoga, with greater emphasis during the afternoon pickup because students are leaving the building at the same time. In the morning it's more of a "trickle," Imel said. Luckily, incidents like the one last September — while "gut-wrenching" — are rare, Wright said, although this is the second car-pedestrian crash there in recent memory. In December 2016, a pickup struck a 7-year-old there, but no major changes to the school zone were made then. Sage Stanley is now 11. She'll be starting the sixth grade at Irving Middle School in less than a month. While she healed quickly after the crash — she was back at Saratoga in a couple of days — the memory of that day in September still lives with her and her brother. "When we go to a store or something and we have to walk through a parking lot, cross the road, that's really hard for them," Jade Stanley said. She hopes the improvements to the school zone will make a difference and that drivers will stay focused on the road. "I'm always thinking about it when I drive by," she said. "My daughter is very strong and she forgave the driver before we even left the emergency room. Other than replaying it in her head, she's kind of accepted what it was and moved on. "She's been incredibly strong in this whole situation."
