Reports of low test weight and sprout damage have tempered once lofty expectations for this season’s wheat and barley crops in southern and eastern Idaho. Juliet Marshall, a University of Idaho plant pathologist and head of the Department of Plant Sciences, conducts wheat and barley variety trials in Kimberly, Rupert, Aberdeen, Soda Springs, Idaho Falls, Ririe and Tetonia. At each location, she’s seen crop quality problems associated with kernels accumulating starch amid excessive heat, compounded by untimely rains and hail late in the season. Despite the reports, industry officials are still optimistic. "We are happy with the harvest," said Casey Chumrau, Idaho Wheat Commission executive director. "We hope incidents of low test weights and sprouting will be isolated." She has talked to multiple wheat growers, who said they have seen "acceptable" test weights, although some below the ideal 60 pound mark. "Most have been 58 pounds and higher," she said. People are also reading… “Overall, I think this crop is still going to be acceptable for end users,” she said. Sean Ellis of the Idaho Farm Bureau is not feeling glum about the wheat harvest either. "It is certainly better than last year's," Ellis said, with farmers reporting "fantastic" yields. The 2021 crop was hampered by hot temperatures and drought. He said officials won't know the full extent of crop quality until the end of harvest. According to the USDA's National Agriculture Statistics Service, grain harvest is far behind average, due to Idaho's cool spring delaying crop maturity. For the week ending Aug. 21, spring wheat harvest was just 27% complete compared to a five-year average of 52%. Barley harvest is 38% complete compared to an average of 62%. Test weight measures the pounds of grain in a bushel. A test weight above 60 pounds is considered optimal. After recently finishing her fall grain harvest, Marshall reported the average test weight was low overall, and in hard white fall wheat varieties in her trials at Rupert was just 53 pounds. Some hard white test weights came in below 48 pounds – evidence that thunderstorms just before fall grain harvest contributed to sprouting, thereby depleting kernels of their starch. Sprout damage has ranged from 5% to 20% throughout some production areas. In malt barley, which requires kernels to sprout uniformly during the malting process, sprout damage is especially concerning and can be cause for rejection at such high levels. Furthermore, when starch content falls due to high heat during grain-fill, the amount of protein as a percentage of the kernel increases. High protein levels can be cause for rejection of soft white wheat varieties. Fall grains are typically ready to harvest prior to the arrival of August monsoons. This season, however, a cool and damp spring considerably delayed crop progress, pushing back harvest and elevating the risk of thunderstorms contributing to sprout damage. “Our beautiful winter crop held quite a lot of promise and still does if a grower was able to get the harvest in before any rains, but the changing weather and impacts associated with these August monsoons really emphasizes how our odd spring has resulted in additional problems,” Marshall said. Optimism abounded among grain farmers in the state’s southern and eastern growing areas earlier in the season. The unusually cool and damp provided ideal conditions for plants to produce more seed-bearing stalks, called tillers, potentially setting the stage for big yields. Foliar diseases such as stripe rust and scald were also very low despite the favorable weather. But the spring conditions also stymied fall grain growth and delayed emergence of spring grain crops by more than two weeks, and the weather abruptly turned from below normal to excessively hot at a time while plants were filling or at flowering, shocking them at crucial points in their development. During May, average temperatures were well below normal for 21 days at the National Weather Service’s Burley location in southern Idaho. On May 30, for example, Burley’s average temperature was a whopping 20.1 degrees below normal. The heat, however, arrived with a vengeance. In southeast Idaho, at Pocatello Regional Airport, temperatures were above average for 28 days of July. In eastern Idaho, Idaho Falls set record high temperatures of 97 degrees on July 17 and 96 degrees on July 29. “The heat hit it late in the growing season and that contributed to a shorter window for grain-fill,” Marshall said. “We still had excellent yields in winter wheat, but the final couple of weeks of grain-fill and carbohydrate accumulation happened in the heat, which hurried the crop toward maturing but resulted in lower test weight.” Marshall warns the outlook could be worse for spring crops. Delayed from emerging by the cool spring, spring crops were exposed to even more hot days during the critical starch-accumulation period, and there’s still more opportunity for them to sustain sprout damage. “Spring wheat and barley yields were not as high as we were hoping, and we also have sprout damage later on top of it,” Marshall said. In northern Idaho, UI Extension cropping systems agronomist Kurtis Schroeder said fall grain has avoided sprout damage. Crop quality has generally been acceptable, aside from some fields in the Camas Prairie that aren’t salvageable from recent heavy rains and hail. “I’ve heard of some issues with test weights that are a little lower, but they’re not bad,” Schroeder said, adding test weights throughout his region were extremely low last season due to water stress amid a drought. Spring wheat in northern Idaho was planted two to three weeks late due to spring rains, and Schroeder anticipates the delayed planting could hurt test weights. However, he said yields are significantly better than last year.

BOTETOURT COUNTY, Va. – These days, the Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney for Botetourt County has a new four-legged partner by her side. Seamus is Gillian Deegan’s new buddy, and they both spend a lot of her time in the courthouse. The poodle is training to be a courthouse facility dog, comforting victims and witnesses of crimes, with the help of local dog training company Wags by Wegel. “For kids, a lot of times, it’s easier to talk to a dog than a human,” said Deegan. “You can see when people start petting him, everything kind of calms down. The anxiety goes away.” When the Virginia General Assembly approved the use of “certified facility dogs” in court back in 2018, Deegan knew she wanted to find the right dog for the job. Fast forward to May of this year, Deegan met Seamus and knew he was the one. “If there was ever going to be a dog, he has the calm demeanor, the disposition. He truly just wants to be with people,” said Deegan. ”So I decided to give it a try and I adopted him.” Deegan has seen just about every side of the criminal justice system as a police officer, an attorney, and a victim. “When I was 20, I was the victim of a violent crime. And I went through the court system and, of course, I didn’t know anything about it. I was a college student,” said Deegan. “It was scary. It was intimidating. It was, in some instances, a little dehumanizing. You know, it was almost as if there were times where you felt like you were being re-victimized.” Deegan didn’t want anyone to suffer as she did. Throughout her career, she’s worked to help victims through the process. “It’s not by choice that they’re here, but let’s make it better,” said Deegan. Seamus has lived through trauma of his own. He was picked up as a stray by the Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection emaciated. Angels of Assisi took him in and cared for him. “He was in rough shape,” said Lisa O’Neill, the executive director at Angels of Assisi. “His hair was long and matted. And at the time you really couldn’t tell how thin he was because he had so much hair and dirt and grime and matting on him.” Despite all that, O’Neill said employees at the shelter could see there was something special about Seamus. “You could see that little spark in him. He was very unsure of things, but there was that little spark that was like, ‘Hey! Underneath all of this, I’m pretty cool.’ So once we saw that, we knew he had a lot of potential,” said O’Neill. Deegan spotted him on their website, met Seamus at his foster home, and the rest is history. Deegan said the court system has come a long way since she went through it. She hopes other courthouses will consider four-legged employees too. However, funding for the new furry friends poses a challenge. Training a service animal is time-consuming and expensive. As a result, Deegan said she’d like to see corporate sponsors help others cities and counties fund their own courthouse facility dogs. “There is so much trauma involved, that we don’t need to re-traumatize,” said Deegan. “We need to make things easier.” Three months later, Seamus has put on 20 healthy pounds and found where he belongs. “We have phenomenal animals that are just languishing in shelters,” said Deegan. “Go and find your own Seamus.”	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/26/botetourt-countys-new-court-therapy-dog-helping-victims-witnesses/	2022-08-27T22:25:56	1	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/26/botetourt-countys-new-court-therapy-dog-helping-victims-witnesses/

PORTLAND, Maine — The city of Portland received national recognition for supporting school children living in public housing. The National Civic League named Portland one of ten winners across the country of the 2022 All-America City Award, Portland ConnectED Executive Director Matt Dubel said in an email. Portland community leaders were presented with the award Friday by Chris Gates, the former President of the National Civic League, at a ceremony held at Riverton Park housing community in Portland. Community leaders said Portland won because of its local groups' commitment to helping children and their families thrive. The groups worked together to make tutoring, internships, and other after-school activities easier to access during the pandemic. “We are happy to designate Portland as an All-America City," President of the National Civic League Doug Linkhart said. "They showed, even in the face of a global pandemic, that they can bring people together to help kids and families thrive.” "Portland was recognized as an example of community collaboration for its partnerships between Portland Housing Authority, the Portland Public Schools, and a network of community organizations that are part of the Portland ConnectED partnership," Dubel said. “The good news is that even as challenges persist, community organizations in Portland have come together as never before to support school success for students in public housing,” he was quoted saying. “The All-America City Award recognizes communities that leverage civic engagement, collaboration, inclusiveness and innovation to successfully address local issues,” according to the National Civic League website.	https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/portland/portland-included-in-2022-all-american-city-winners/97-a188e263-a368-4a1f-85e2-39fc6b02e226	2022-08-27T22:27:19	0	https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/portland/portland-included-in-2022-all-american-city-winners/97-a188e263-a368-4a1f-85e2-39fc6b02e226
ROANOKE, Va. – A new restaurant is bringing a taste of Puerto Rico’s island flavors to the Star City. With arms wide open and loud cheers, Delicias Boricuas owners and staff are welcoming new customers to their new restaurant situated in Downtown Roanoke. For nearly seven years, Karyna Nevarez and her family ran a catering service offering tropical flavors and herbs of Puerto Rico. Now, they have a place to call their own at the Crafteria on Church Avenue. “It is just very exciting,” Nevarez said. “It is something we have dreamed about for a very long time.” From savory rice and meat dishes to sweet desserts like tembleque, a coconut pudding, Nevarez recreates popular island cuisines in the kitchen. Posted by Delicias Boricuas VA on Monday, May 23, 2022 In minutes, customers were nodding their heads and cleaning their plates. The name alone brings a taste of the island: Boricua means Puerto Rican people, and it’s a term used with pride as it derives from indigenous roots. “We are always very engrained with our culture and it means a lot to us,” Nevarez said. “We try to expand it. We try to spread it everywhere we can.” With flags draped around the restaurant, Nevarez’s roots from Bayamon are on full display. This is a tradition Nevarez gets to pass down to her children, and now she can encourage local customers to support Puerto Rico. “We can actually motivate people to do a little bit of tourism in Puerto Rico as well,” Nevarez said. “That would be our little grain of salt into all that the island needs at this moment.” Delicias Boricuas is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/25/new-restaurant-with-puerto-rican-food-opens-in-downtown-roanoke/	2022-08-27T22:30:24	0	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/25/new-restaurant-with-puerto-rican-food-opens-in-downtown-roanoke/
ROANOKE, Va. – An act of kindness by Roanoke Fire & EMS caught on camera was shared on social media, touching the hearts of those in the Roanoke community and beyond. First responders were called to help a woman having a medical emergency while she was mowing her yard, but their work didn’t stop when the call was over. After she was taken by ambulance to the hospital, Engine 8 stayed back to make sure the yard work was finished, and that her house was locked up. Humble Lieutenant Dennis Haynes told 10 News that they were just doing their job. ”It’s good every once and a while to have some good press hit the radar for everyone to see that lots of good things still occur and there are a lot of appropriate positive people still here to help you out and do what you are supposed to do,” Haynes said. The photo had been shared nearly 500 times on Facebook as of Friday evening, receiving many thank-you notes from those in the community. Earlier this week, Engine 8 and Medic 4 were dispatched to an EMS call for a patient who experienced a medical emergency...

ROANOKE, Va. – The Virginia Latino Advisory Board visited the Star City to relay concerns from the Latino community to the governor. One by one, Latinos in the Roanoke Valley stood up to voice the troubles they face to the Virginia Latino Advisory Board Thursday night at Casa Latina. Affordable housing was a big topic. Families expressed their troubles with housing applications and financial aid without a social security card. “It’s just one barrier after another after another,” Casa Latina Board President Dr. Gresilda ‘Kris’ Tilly-Lubbs said. “And knowing where it’s good to live. All of that is just difficult when there are language barriers.” Another main concern is the lack of mental health counselors available for Latino students. Some students are facing trauma from the chaos of immigration and separation from their families. “They still need real assistance with navigating our society,” Tilly-Lubbs said. Councilwoman Vivian Sanchez-Jones pointed out the extra funding and organizations northern Virginia has in comparison to the Star City. “The economic backgrounds are different,” Sanchez-Jones said. “The amount of money northern Virginia has cannot compare to what Roanoke has.” This issue bleeds into the entrepreneur realm. Latinas Network Founder Kat Pascal called for more resources to help business owners build up financial capital to keep businesses around. “While we are getting together and trying to move it forward and propel, it’s still a slower process where we are at,” Pascal said. “We must continue to speak,” Virginia Latino Advisory Board Member Rev. Jonathan Avendano said. “It doesn’t matter what language we do it in. But speak. It’s very important.” The Board will review the concerns and then finalize a report, which will be given to the governor in the Fall.	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/26/latino-families-in-roanoke-voice-issues-in-meeting-with-virginia-latino-advisory-board/	2022-08-27T22:30:37	1	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/26/latino-families-in-roanoke-voice-issues-in-meeting-with-virginia-latino-advisory-board/

DANVILLE, Va. – Nine new police officers are already making a difference in Danville by focusing on community policing. “Without the community, the police can’t do their job,” said Officer Erica Lewis. Lewis was one of nine rookie officers to graduate Friday from the Community Leadership and Immersion Program, otherwise known as C.L.I.P. The month-long session helps Danville’s new officers engage with nearly 50 local leaders. “It was easier for people to connect with me and feel comfortable to talk to me,” said Lewis. The program is a partnership between Danville Police and Averett University. “We want to immerse ourselves in the community prior to our officers even stepping foot in the field, so that they can have a better understanding of the background of the Danville community,” said Jennifer Bowles, public relations specialist for the Danville Police Department. As part of the training, officers completed a group project to help the community. They built four ‘Peace Pantries’ around Danville, where you can donate non-perishable food items to those in need. “It’s a learning lesson, but it’s also an experience and gives back and helps everybody,” said Lewis. Officers identified local organizations, including the Salvation Army and House of Hope Homeless Shelter, that help to combat food insecurity, but they’re not open 24/7 and some require applications. The new pantries are outdoors, never locked, and you do not need permission to access them. “You need a meal late at night, or you need to just get the kids through a weekend to get them back to school for a meal? Go to the pantry. That’s why it’s there,” said Officer Clint Carty. Officers said that more than 6,600 people in Danville are considered ‘food insecure’ each day. That means they’re either struggling to find food or going without a meal. One-in-three children living in Danville are also considered ‘food insecure.’ The graduates see the new pantries as one way of building a relationship with people. “We’re just people, too, and we want the best for their community as much as they do. How can we work together?” said Carty.	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/26/new-danville-police-officers-focus-on-building-relationships-fighting-food-insecurity/	2022-08-27T22:30:56	0	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/26/new-danville-police-officers-focus-on-building-relationships-fighting-food-insecurity/

But Roanoke College economic professor Michael Enz said that it’s still too early to pinpoint the exact effects. “When people ask these questions, they really want a number to put with it and a lot of that depends on first and foremost who takes advantage of this program,” Enz said. As the questions roll in, so do the critics. “Some people benefit from programs, some people don’t,” Enz said. “Any time there’s a program that excludes at least some people that isn’t universally accessible to everyone, you get into the idea of fairness. I’ve seen the idea of fairness a lot more with this issue than with others, so that confuses me a little bit.” Some critics include those who have already paid off their loans and will not receive any sort of credit, but Enz said that’s not the point of the relief program. “If you’ve already paid your loans, then it’s no longer an issue,” he said. “We’re targeting particular people who are suffering from current conditions.” Virginia Tech Economics Professor Nicolaus Tideman has similar thoughts. “You can’t change the rules without creating comments of unfairness,” Tideman said. “But we want to change the rules from time to time because we think we can do things better.” Another point of contention comes from who really pays for this relief. “We can make up this money in the future by either raising taxes or issuing greater debt,” Enz said. Changing the rules of student loans means changing things like inflation as well, but not as much as you may think. “Drivers of inflation that took us over 90% are much much stronger than what we’re seeing with this particular executive order,” Enz said. Neither Enz nor Tideman think that this plan is an end all be all. “I’ve heard the comment, and I would endorse it, that this is a Band-Aid when we need a permanent fix,” Tideman said. “Do I think it’s unfair? Am I looking at it from my own standpoint and saying that it’s fair? No, and I’m not displeased in that case,” Enz said. “Am I looking at it as good economic policy? No. I think we could be doing other things. And those to ideas can be consistent with one another.” There is no clear-cut answer when it comes to a permanent solution, but Tideman said that it starts at the decision to go to college. “I think the way to do that is to ask people who are somewhat dubious to go to community college rather than a four-year college because the cost is so much lower,” Tideman said.	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/27/economic-experts-weigh-in-on-the-effects-of-bidens-student-loan-relief-plan/	2022-08-27T22:31:53	1	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/27/economic-experts-weigh-in-on-the-effects-of-bidens-student-loan-relief-plan/

LEXINGTON, Va. – Eyes before Friday night’s football game were turned to a new memorial and sign outside Veteran’s Stadium honoring the lives of Chase Prasnicki and Drew Ross. Moments before kickoff, a celebration, and dedication to name the Prasnicki-Ross field at Veteran’s Stadium. Debbie Arthur, Chase’s mom, said she’s so grateful her son’s name will be remembered. “As long as you can ... there’s a name said, they’re never gone. So he’s never really gone,” Arthur said. Just steps away was a memorial with plaques of the two former Rockbridge County High School students. Drew’s sister Sarah Geisen waited to see the memorial after the dedication. “Some things you just need to experience with a clean heart,” Geisen said. “If it was Drew’s choice he’d make everything about Chase. If it was Chase’s choice he’d make everything about Drew. So we’re going to be here to make everything about them.” Pack stands filled the air with chants of U-S-A and love for the boys. “It makes me feel wonderful. They’re not just here for the football game, they’re here to...they want to know more about this,” Arthur said. Prasnicki and Ross both played sports in high school, both pursued military careers at West Point, and both died in Afghanistan, serving their country. “Drew and Chase are synonymous with each other,” Geisen said. Their legacies are now etched in stone. The Prasnicki-Ross field at Veteran’s Stadium plays home to the Wildcats and home of the brave.	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/27/prasnicki-ross-field-to-serve-as-a-reminder-of-rockbridge-county-heros/	2022-08-27T22:32:13	0	https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/08/27/prasnicki-ross-field-to-serve-as-a-reminder-of-rockbridge-county-heros/

ORLANDO, Fla. – Pfizer asked U.S. regulators Monday to approve its combination COVID-19 vaccine that adds protection against the newest omicron strains after the Food and Drug Administration ordered the minds behind the vaccine to tweak their shots. The tweaked vaccines aim to target BA.4 and BA.5 and bolster immunity better than earlier vaccinations and infection do. [TRENDING: Homeowners insurance company exits Florida market \| Win gift cards to Orlando’s Magical Dining Month \| Gov. DeSantis announces SunPass toll rebate program for Florida commuters \| Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] Pfizer and Moderna submitted their applications this week. Pfizer wants to offer the updated boosters to people ages 12 and older, while Moderna wants to offer them to adults. The U.S. has a contract to buy 105 million of the Pfizer doses and 66 million Moderna doses, pending FDA approval. This comes as Moderna sues Pfizer and BioNTech, accusing them of copying Moderna’s technology to make their own vaccines. Prior to the battle between these companies, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dropped quarantine and social distancing recommendations from its COVID-19 guidelines, as officials focus on the monkeypox outbreak. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Below is a breakdown of Florida COVID-19 data reported by the CDC and the state on Aug. 26: Cases There were 89,119 new coronavirus cases over the last two weeks. Florida has seen 6,998,561 cases since the virus was first detected on March 1, 2020. Deaths The Florida Department of Health reported a cumulative death toll in Florida of 79,573. There were 1,014 fatalities recorded over the past two weeks, which we get by subtracting the number of deaths reported by DOH two weeks ago (78,559) from the current cumulative death toll. The state stopped reporting the number of non-residents who died in Florida when the new weekly reporting method began. Hospitalizations The state Agency for Health Care Administration deleted its current COVID-19 hospitalization database and the state is no longer reporting how many patients have been hospitalized with the virus. However, Florida is still required to report that information to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the CDC continues to release that information online. The most recent hospital numbers show 3,122 adult and 89 pediatric patients in Florida. Positivity rate The Florida Department of Health reported the percent of positive results from coronavirus tests was 16.2% for the week of Aug. 19 but did not provide how many people were tested during the past two weeks. Health officials say the rate should remain between 5% and 10% to prove a community has a hold of the virus and is curbing infections.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – The Artemis I mission rocket launch is scheduled for Monday morning, and NASA experts are calling it the most powerful rocket to ever launch. From Walter Cronkite calling the first Saturn V launch to the space shuttle generation feeling the final heat of Atlantis, Cliff Lanham said that after 55 years of monster rockets, the Space Launch System will shake the Space Coast like never before. [TRENDING: Homeowners insurance company exits Florida market \| Win gift cards to Orlando’s Magical Dining Month \| Gov. DeSantis announces SunPass toll rebate program for Florida commuters \| Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] “I think it’s going to be amazing,” Lanham, NASA’s senior vehicle operations manager, said. “I think you’re going to feel it, and I think you’re going to hear it as much as you see it.” Hundreds of thousands could judge for themselves as soon as 8:33 Monday morning when NASA reports the two-hour Artemis I launch window will open. Saturday, teams will begin working the 46-hour countdown ahead of NASA’s most powerful rocket to ever launch to the Moon. It’s ready to go, and it’s a matter of going through the sequence on the countdown,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said. And for every rocket, big or small, it’s also a matter of the weather. Right now, the Space Force predicts mostly favorable conditions. “I hope everybody can make it out and bring your families, as well,” retired NASA astronaut Doug Hurley said.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Two people accused of voting illegally in the 2020 election told News 6 they believed they were eligible to vote. They were both mentioned by Gov. Ron DeSantis during his announcement of 20 felons who were arrested on suspicion of illegally voting in the 2020 election. It was the first public outcome of the state’s newly formed Office of Election Crimes and Security. [TRENDING: Homeowners insurance company exits Florida market \| Win gift cards to Orlando’s Magical Dining Month \| Gov. DeSantis announces SunPass toll rebate program for Florida commuters \| Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)] Orange County records show Peter Washington, 59, pled no contest to a felony offense of attempted sexual battery of a child in 1996 and served 10 years in prison. For the last 12 years, Washington turned his life around, held down a job and started a family, he told News 6. A series of events led him to believe he was eligible to vote after Amendment 4 passed, he said. “I’m angry, but I’m also hurt,” Washington told News 6. DeSantis announced the arrests at a press conference in Ft. Lauderdale last week. “They are disqualified from voting because they’ve been convicted of either murder or sexual assault, and they do not have the right to vote,” DeSantis told reporters. Washington said he thought his rights had been restored. “Why am I being accused of something that I didn’t deceitfully do?” Washington asked. In 1996, Washington pled no contest to the felony offense and was given probation, but he kept violating probation by not registering with the state properly, according to the probable cause affidavit and state records. Because of the violation, in 2001, he served nearly 10 years in prison and was released in November 2010. Washington said he has tried to be a model citizen by starting his own business and starting a family. “I’m just trying to live and be successful,” Washington said. In 2018, Florida voters passed Amendment 4 to automatically restore the right to vote for people with prior felony convictions upon completion of their sentences, except those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense. Under the law, felons are not allowed to sit on juries, but “Washington received jury summons on three separate occasions which he reported for,” according to the probable cause affidavit. “That’s what made me think that I was eligible to vote or my rights were reinstated. Because you can’t be on a jury duty unless your rights are being reinstated,” Washington said. Urged by his wife, Washington said that in 2019, he filled out a Florida Voter Application and received a voter information card with a Voter ID, according to the affidavit. Washington went to the polls with his wife in person and asked questions. “We showed them the ID. We showed them the voter card. We said, ‘Is this valid?’“ Washington said. Election workers told him it was valid, according to Washington. “That’s the only reason I walked in there and voted,” Washington said. Michelle Stribling Michelle Stribling, 52, also told News 6 she legitimately thought she was eligible to vote. “This is a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean no harm about this.” Stribling said. Orange County records show Stribling was convicted after admitting to second-degree murder in 1993 and served 11 years in prison. “I’m doing the right thing. I stay out of trouble. I do right by the law. I don’t get in trouble no more,” Stribling said Stribling said that she cannot read or write, and she registered to vote at church. She asked for assistance in completing the application, and the individual who was getting people registered would not assist her, according to Stribling’s probable cause affidavit. Watch our previous coverage by clicking the media player below “I just marked whatever I marked on the paper,” Stribling admitted. Stribling checked the box saying she is not a convicted felon but says she didn’t know what it said. She told detectives she thought her rights were restored “when she later received a voter registration card,” according to the affidavit. “Now, all of a sudden, they say I can’t vote. That don’t make no sense,” she said. Why were Stribling and Washington issued a Voter ID? Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles released a statement after the arrests. “Once a new or current registered voter is identified with a criminal record, the Florida Division of Elections prepares a packet with the individual’s documentations for the appropriate Supervisor of Elections,” Cowles wrote. “If we do not receive a packet from the state, we remain unaware of the individual’s conviction,” Cowles wrote. After the arrests, Sen. Jeff Brandes, who authored Amendment Four, tweeted video of the governor’s press conference. “It was our intent that those ineligible would be granted some grace by the state if they registered without intent to commit fraud,” Brandes wrote. “Some of the individuals did check with (supervisors of elections) and believed they could register,” Brandes wrote. Washington said the worst part has been unintentionally hurting his wife. “I don’t even want to talk about that it hurts,” Washington said. “It hurts. I tried to be strong for her, but it hurts... She has been nothing but an angel to me.” Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, which supported the passage of Amendment 4, said it is raising funds to provide bail for those arrested on accusations of voter fraud. During a scheduled weekend convention at the Doubletree Seaworld in Orlando Friday, FRRC discussed the recent arrests with News 6. “There’s one instance where a gentleman was talking about how he hadn’t voted in decades, and he had been told by his government that he could,” FRRC Deputy Director Neil Volz said. “And what an experience. He was like, ‘I want to be a part of my community.’” According to Volz, those arrested for voter fraud don’t seem to be wholly responsible. “That isn’t the sound of somebody committing voter fraud,” Volz said. “That’s somebody operating in a system that doesn’t work right.”	https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/08/27/2-people-accused-of-voter-fraud-say-they-were-allowed-to-register-to-vote/	2022-08-27T22:34:43	1	https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/08/27/2-people-accused-of-voter-fraud-say-they-were-allowed-to-register-to-vote/
ORLANDO, Fla. – A Delta plane flight from Orlando to Salt Lake City Friday afternoon resulted in reports of three people being injured after the plane experienced turbulence, a Delta spokesman told News 6.

He told News 6 at last check, the district needs about 56 teachers, 25 paraprofessionals and 70 bus drivers. “We want to make sure we have highly qualified teachers in front of our kids, so this is just another opportunity to get some additional staff,” Russi said. When asked how the district was filling the teacher shortage, Russi said substitutes and even others in non-teaching roles are picking up the slack. “In the classroom right now... we’re using substitutes also and also other people who are in non-teaching positions, so like our coaches, resource teachers...” Russi said. He said the starting pay for teachers is around $47,500. They get about $4,000 more annually with a master’s degree and $11,000 more per year with a doctorate. Russi said bus drivers start at more than $16 per hour and the starting pay for a paraprofessional is $15 per hour. Sunjeeta Bhatia was one of many who attended the job fair Saturday. She wants to work as a high school teacher and said she has the experience and creativity to do so. “I’m a qualified teacher, I’ve come from India, so I was just searching for teaching positions,” Bhatia said. “I love to be with kids and I love to share knowledge and I enjoy doing it.” Anette Rios said she got some good news at Saturday’s job fair. “I was offered a position as a guidance counselor and I’m very excited,” Rios said. “I just think because there’s a critical shortage, I was drawn to come to the school district and help.” District leaders in Seminole County say, based on the need, there may be more job fairs to come.
