FORT WORTH (KDAF) — For the last two years, the Fort Worth Memorial Day Services have not had a public audience because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year, that changes. This year, the 93rd annual Fort Worth Memorial Day Service at Mount Olivet Cemetery will be open to the public.
Located at 2301 N. Sylvania Ave, the service will be from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. this Memorial Day.
Officials say Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker and Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley will make remarks followed by an address from Capt. Mark McLean.

DALLAS (KDAF) — The storms are gone and it’s about time for Memorial Day Weekend to get underway in North Texas and if you didn’t know, the heat is back in action.
Before the weekend takes off taking care of Thursday is still in order and it’s going to feel good. North Texas can expect a sunny day with highs ranging from the upper 70s to upper 80s. As night falls, it will be seasonably cool with lows from the mid 50s to mid 60s.
Then, Friday arrives and the temps will slowly turn back up. It’ll be a sunny and warm day with highs ranging from the lower 80s to the mid 90s. “A nice end to the work week can be expected with mostly sunny days, clear, cool nights, and seasonable temperatures,” NWS Fort Worth said.
As the weekend truly gets started on Saturday, so does the 90-degree weather! The center says, “It will be dry through this coming Memorial Day Weekend with abnormally warm temperatures in the 90s to around 100 degrees far west Saturday and Sunday.”
North Texas shouldn’t see any rainfall thanks to an upper high keeping showers and storms deflected well to the west and north of the region. “So if you’re planning outdoor activities, you’re in good shape, just remember to stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in the shade or air-conditioning!”

DALLAS (STACKER) — Few announcements have rocked the automotive industry as hard as the one-two punch of General Motors’ notice of intent to exclusively produce electric-powered vehicles by 2035 and the Ford Motor Company’s $30 billion investment in electric vehicle development. The latter has thus far resulted in the release of an all-electric F-150 and Mustang, the automaker’s two top-selling models. Of course, other automakers have taken a dip into the EV pool, among them Chevrolet, Volvo, Porsche, Mazda, and Mercedes Benz, and it would seem that Tesla set a gold standard for the development and marketing of the electric vehicle.
CoPilot ranked each state (and Washington D.C.) by the number of registered EVs as a percentage of total registered private and commercial vehicles to offer a quick look at where the nation stands on electric vehicle adoption, using data from the Department of Energy and Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Ties were broken at the thousandths of a percent level which, for brevity, are not shown. Charging station and charging port data came from an Alternative Fuel Stations report issued by the BTS. The U.S. Department of Energy also maintains a live map of all AFS locations nationwide. It should be noted that the stated number of ports per 100 EVs is not necessarily inversely related to the overall quantity of EVs in a given state, but rather the number of highway miles running through the state or the number of established “alt-fuel corridors.”
While Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar Tesla “experiment” has without question forced the auto industry to rethink the public’s appetite for EVs, it’s the anteing up of the big players that has the potential to permanently change the nation’s approach to vehicular travel. Just 30 years ago the industry dismissed electric vehicle investment as though it were an allowance given to an unruly child so they wouldn’t ask for something more expensive.
In its December 2021 sales report, Ford showed a 121.1% increase in total EV sales year over year. Not only does this mark the best-ever EV sales for the company, but it also represents 36% faster growth than the entire segment—meaning Ford, the nation’s largest carmaker, has already begun to dominate this sector. The Mustang Mach-E has become second only to Tesla’s Model Y in total EV sales, and the F-150 continues to be the top-selling truck in America (which it has been for more than 40 years running). Orders for the F-150 Lightning EV have vastly exceeded expectations. Ford not only anticipates 40% of its overall sales to be electric by 2030 but has recently invested deeply in both manufacturing and battery production and recycling. It is more than clear that an irreversible revolution in car manufacturing and ownership is now upon us.
Continue reading to find out the state of electric vehicle adoption in your neck of the woods, or check out the national list here.
Texas by the numbers
– Percentage of registered vehicles that are electric: 0.24%
– Total registered electric vehicles: 52,190 (#3 overall)
– Number of statewide charging stations: 2,316 (#4 overall)
– Number of charging ports per 100 EVs: 10.5 (#45 overall)
On a wider scale, global EV sales reached 6.6 million in 2021, a more than threefold rise over the previous year. This number is impressive in and of itself but becomes staggering when you consider that in 2012 only about 130,000 EVs were sold across the globe. There are now an estimated 16 million EVs on the road, and if sales trends pan out as predicted, that number is going to get a whole lot bigger. When it does, naturally the other side of the equation will be a decrease in gas-powered vehicle sales.
The need for a nationwide network of charging stations to allow cross-country travel has emerged alongside the expansion of electric vehicle ownership. At best, the longest range a current EV (the Lucid Air Dream Edition) can go on a single charge is 520 miles—but it also comes with a $170,000 price tag. The Tesla Model S, one of the most popular EVs on the market, can get 400 miles to a charge, which is no small feat. But without the right kind of charging infrastructure, it still won’t get you from the Rockies to an East Coast vacation spot, to say nothing of making it across a state as expansive as Texas (where, incidentally, the most popular truck is the F-150).
In its December 2021 Action Plan, the Biden-Harris administration outlined its strategy to “put [the country] on the path to a convenient and equitable network of 500,000 chargers and make EVs accessible to all Americans for both local and long-distance trips.” This strategy includes a $5 billion investment in the national EV charging network and a further $2.5 billion to be made available through a grant program to ensure states’ ability to support rural charging and charging access in disadvantaged communities.
Read on to see which states have the most and least electric vehicles.
States with the most electric vehicles
#1. California: 1.43% of registered vehicles are electric
#2. Hawaii: 0.86% of registered vehicles are electric
#3. Washington, D.C.: 0.74% of registered vehicles are electric
States with the fewest electric vehicles
#1. North Dakota: 0.02% of registered vehicles are electric
#2. South Dakota: 0.03% of registered vehicles are electric
#3. West Virginia: 0.04% of registered vehicles are electric

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — One local woman is trying to make a difference after her nephew died from a fentanyl overdose.
Shari Young — a.k.a. Mrs. Portland 2022 — is using her pageant title to try and get businesses to carry a life-saving drug in the event of an overdose. Young spends most of her time visiting various businesses in the area with the sole mission of saving the lives of those who overdose on fentanyl.
“I can’t just walk into these businesses and say ‘Hi, I’m Shari Young, RN, can I talk to you about Narcan?’ but if I walk in as Mrs. Portland — it’s an immediate calling card.”
Young entered the pageant circuit a few years ago to meet people when she first moved to Portland.
Sadly, tragedy struck her family in 2021.
“I will never forget that my brother sounded like a wounded animal as he was telling me how he ‘did CPR and did CPR.’ He said he was just dead.”
Narcan could have saved her nephew, who had unknowingly taken a pill with a lethal amount of fentanyl in it.
Young says her nephew had had substance issues in the past, and her brother actually had tried to get Narcan from the pharmacy to be prepared. However, it was a rural pharmacy — and the workers didn’t realize that most states have so-called standing orders for Narcan or the pharmacist can prescribe it.
“Sometimes they don’t know and they send you away and tell you to get go get a prescription and that’s what happened in our case,” Young explained. “We didn’t have Narcan when my nephew passed because my brother was turned away.”
Washington state does have a standing order so you can walk in and get Narcan at the pharmacy. In Oregon, the pharmacist can prescribe it to you.
After Young was crowned as Mrs. Portland, she took her cause on the road, visiting as many businesses as she can. She’s armed herself with a Narcan nasal spray sample along with information about the drug.
The businesses she visits vary, but she is trying to get it in all bars — where people are sometimes mixing drugs with alcohol.
“In many ways, it would have been easier to jump in the grave with him,” she said. “But I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to share the information that I know to have.”
If Young can help just one person avoid going through the pain of losing someone, she says it’s worth it.

In 1909, Louis Chevrolet stood on the east steps of the Crown Point Courthouse after winning the Cobe Trophy Race, a 25-mile automotive road race that was a predecessor to the Indianapolis 500.
The Swiss-born mechanic would of course go on to found the Chevrolet Motor Company.
The Cobe Cup Race only lasted for two years as a competitive auto race but continues to be commemorated in Northwest Indiana on Memorial Day weekend every year.
The Regional Streets Car Club of Indiana, a car enthusiast club that promotes street-rodding and good citizenship, will host the 112th running of the Cobe Cup Race as a commemorative cruise this weekend. People will drive along the original route of the race through Crown Point, Cedar Lake and Lowell. It will feature historic cars like Marktown resident Paul Myer's 1929 Model A Ford.
The cruise kicks off at about 11 a.m. Saturday from the Lake County Fairgrounds at 889 S. Court St in Crown Point. Registration starts at 8 a.m.

The Hobart Wolfgang Choir will perform at the fairgrounds, where awards will be distributed after the cruise.
Named after car enthusiast and Chicago Automobile Club President Ira M. Cobe, the race south of the courthouse has been described as "the first major auto race in the United States" though it was modeled after New York's Vanderbilt Cup Race. It ran at the Crown Point Road Race Circuit in Northwest Indiana in 1909 and then was moved to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the next year. The club meant to bring it back to the Chicago area in 1911 but it never took place again after losing $25,000 the first year and getting displaced by the Indianapolis 500 the next year.
Only Chevrolet, who drove a Buick, and teammate Bob Burman competed in both races.
Cobe opted to hold the first race with the trophy bearing his name just across the state line from Chicago in Lake County to take advantage of the natural topography and because of concerns the city's railroads would interfere with a road course there. Grandstands were built for thousands of fans but they mostly picnicked alongside the roads instead, according to Indiana Landmarks.
"If only briefly then, the world recognized the oft-overlooked Northwest Indiana locales of Crown Point, Lowell, and Cedar Lake as the mecca of Midwestern motorsport," Indiana Landmarks said in a historical article. "Today, the original Cobe Trophy resides at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, prominently displayed as but one of many intriguing artifacts of Indiana’s rich auto racing history."
The cost is $15.

Certified technicians will install free car seats while supplies last. Parents or caregivers have to bring their children so the technician can assess how the kid fits into the current car seat and make adjustments to a new one.
"The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration recommends that whether you’ve just installed a car seat or need help installing or using one, you get help at a car seat inspection station near you," Franciscan Health said in a press release. "Children should remain rear-facing as long as possible. Children under age 2 should always ride rear-facing and should remain rear-facing until they reach the top weight and height allowed by the seat manufacturer. Children between 4 and 7 should be in a forward-facing car seat with a harness and tether. Once the child outgrows the forward-facing seat, it’s time to travel in a booster seat, but still in the back seat. Children 8 to 12 should remain in a booster seat until they are big enough to fit in a seat belt properly."
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 800-931-3322.

This Memorial Day weekend is expected to be the busiest for travel in years, despite surging gas prices that are causing widespread pain at the pump.
AAA forecasts travel will return to pre-pandemic levels after a travel resurgence that started earlier this year. It's predicting travel will increase to the busiest level in three years, which would be the second-highest single-year increase in travelers since 2010, behind only the spike last year as coronavirus restrictions eased.
About 34.9 million Americans will hit the road and travel more than 50 miles to get away for fun and frolic this weekend.
“By the looks of this Memorial Day travel forecast, the summer travel season is off to a sizzlin’ start,” said Debbie Haas, vice president of travel for AAA–The Auto Club Group. “People are more comfortable traveling now than any other time in the past two years, and travel bookings are a reflection of that. Reservations for flights, hotels and cruises for Memorial Day weekend are twice as strong as last year’s holiday, and that momentum will likely carry into the summer.”
An estimated 90% of travelers will drive this Memorial Day weekend, despite record-high gas prices. Airfare is down 6% with an average price of $184 per ticket.
It's estimated that 835,000 people in Indiana will travel at least 50 miles this Memorial Day weekend, including 771,000 by car and 41,000 by air, according to AAA. That's short of the 2019 record of 910,000 travelers, including 824,000 by car and 48,000 by air but near the 2017 numbers of 858,000 total travelers, including 775,000 by car and 45,000 by air.
“Surging demand and weather have challenged flight schedules since the beginning of the year,” Haas said. “With the type of volume we anticipate going forward, we still recommend the safety net of a travel agent and travel insurance. Both are lifesavers if something unexpectedly derails your travel plans.”
The average price of gas is $4.58 per gallon in Indiana and $4.97 per gallon in Illinois as of Wednesday, according to AAA. Memorial Day gas prices averaged $3.30 per gallon last year, $3 a gallon in 2019 and $3.10 per gallon in 2018.
The highest price on record was $4.10 per gallon back in 2008.
“Coming out of this two-year pandemic, people are eager to travel again, and it doesn’t seem like record-high gas prices or other inflationary pressures will stop them,” said AAA spokesperson Molly Hart. “Many may look at cost-cutting measures to offset the added expense, like driving shorter distances, staying in a less expensive hotel, or spending less on shopping, dining and entertainment.”
INRIX forecasts traffic could double travel times in major metropolitan areas like Chicago. The longest delays will likely take place Thursday and Friday.
“Even with a significant increase in gas prices, we expect a large jump in holiday driving compared to the last few years,” INRIX Transportation Analyst Bob Pishue said. “Drivers should expect congestion on major roadways around big cities and popular destinations. Knowing when and where congestion will build can help drivers avoid the stress of sitting in traffic.”
The average price of mid-rants hotels is up 42% this year to a range of $199 to $257 a night. Car rental rates fell 16% to an average of $100 a day.
Memorial Day marks the beginning of the traditional summer travel season.
About 69% of Americans plan to travel this summer with 60% likely to take more vacations, according to a survey conducted by Morning Consult and commissioned by the American Hotel & Lodging Association.
Higher gas prices however meant 57% said they were likely to take fewer leisure trips and 54% shorter trips.
“The pandemic has instilled in most people a greater appreciation for travel, and that’s reflected in the plans Americans are making to get out and about this summer. But just as COVID’s negative impact on travel is starting to wane, a new set of challenges is emerging in the form of historic inflation and record-high gas prices. We will be keeping a close eye on these issues and urging Congress and the administration to do the same in order to help ensure they don’t negatively impact hotels’ continued pandemic recovery,” said Chip Rogers, president and CEO of AHLA.

MERRILLVILLE — One person is in stable condition and another is at-large facing multiple felony counts following an assault with a knife Monday at Southlake Methodist Hospital at 8701 Broadway, Merrillville police say.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Diandre Smith, who is from Glenwood, Illinois, according to police and court records.
He faces felony counts of aggravated battery when the assault poses a substantial risk of death, battery by means of a deadly weapon and battery resulting in serious bodily injury, court records show.
Police said they arrived at the hospital to find a male victim with multiple wounds. The suspect, identified as Smith, had fled the scene by the time police arrived.
The victim was treated for his wounds and was in stable condition Thursday morning, according to police.
No one was immediately available Thursday at the hospital for comment.
A $50,000 bond has been set in the case, according to court records.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Merrillville Police Detective Alexander Van Rite at 219-769-3531, extension 349 or at avanrite@merrillville.in.gov .

CHESTERTON — Chesterton police recently stopped 18 trucks and issued 22 citations over a 12-hour period as part of an effort to crack down on traffic violations along the local stretch of Ind. 49, the town is reporting.
Indiana State Police also took part in the recent truck blitz and issued their own citations.
"I recognize that we’ve got our work cut out for us, given the sheer volume of truck traffic at all hours," Chesterton Police Chief Tim Richardson said.
"Though it might seem easy to target scofflaw truckers, the configuration of Ind. 49 in the town of Chesterton makes enforcement more difficult than we’d like it to be," he said. "It’s hard for officers to execute quick U-turns from the southbound lanes, for example, to the northbound. And there aren’t any really good places in the median to sit in wait."
Richardson said, "The officers have to be creative in being at the right place at the right time, watching for stop-light violations while at the same time navigating heavy traffic safely."
The stretch of highway has been the scene of a number of accidents, including one May 8 that resulted in retired longtime Chesterton High School swim coach Kevin Kinel being airlifted to a Chicago hospital.
Kinel had the green light and was crossing the highway eastbound on East Porter Avenue at 10:49 a.m. when the crash occurred, police said.
A 27-year-old Florida truck driver reportedly told police when he saw the northbound traffic signal at Porter Avenue change from green to red, he applied his brakes. He realized he was not going to be able to stop for the red light and began to blow his horn to warn other drivers, police said.
"Truck traffic is absolutely growing on Ind. 49, however," Richardson said. "And the CPD is fully committed to conducting as much extra enforcement as possible as we enter the busy summer months."

ST. JOHN — More than 800 students were asked to rewrite narratives of the future at Lake Central's 2022 commencement Wednesday night.
Graduate Kyle Kennedy led a student address during which he said that the graduates' time at Lake Central High School has been the foundation to let them lead successful lives in the future.
"Never let anyone say you are finished constructing. Continue to renovate your house as you lead your future. Class of 2022, never let anyone tell you you are aiming too high because there will be times when people will try to stop you from achieving your full potential, but never let anyone bring doubt to your success by geographic location, your sexual orientation and certainly not by the color of your skin," Kennedy said, interrupted by applause from the audience.
In total, there were 839 graduates in the Class of 2022. Of those graduates, 574 plan to continue on to a post-secondary institution to continue their education. Several are also planning to serve in the United States military.

The ceremony began with a moment of silence for those who were not able to attend, as well as those who lost their lives in the Texas school shooting Tuesday.
Principal Erin Novak welcomed graduates to the ceremony, emphasizing the unconventional high school experience they had. Students were only given half of a sophomore year, as well as junior years that were partially or fully virtual.
"Know that you have gained the strength, and in turn power, to push through tough times and find better days ahead," Novak said.
As the ceremony was inside due to rain, Novak emphasized how rain brings good luck and renewal for the graduates' futures.
Kimberly Hestermann, senior class president, and Elizabeth Solia, senior class vice president, provided remarks regarding the class motto and presented the class gift.
The Class of 2022 motto was "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can," from Arthur Ashe.
The class gift went to groups within Lake Central, such as the Class of 2025 and the incoming Class of 2026. In addition, the class contributed a monetary gift to Phil's Friends, a nonprofit that helps provide support to individuals with cancer.
Student Kaitlyn O'Drobinak reflected on the students' time at Lake Central and how they had an unusual experience due to the impacts of the pandemic. She also discussed the lockdown that occurred at LCHS in September and how students felt fear they had never experienced before.
O'Drobinak emphasized how even though students are moving on, they can always come home to Lake Central.
"One thing I think all of us sitting here can say is that these four wacky years were not anything like High School Musical. And always remember — once an Indian, always an Indian," O'Drobinak said, referencing LCHS's mascot.
Superintendent Larry Veracco also provided several remarks to the graduates, emphasizing how they need to leave the world kinder than they found it.
"Your efforts and participation in activities to assist others did make Lake Central a kinder and gentler place," Veracco said, mentioning several service events that occurred this year. "Please know that your commitment to helping others has made a positive impact."
Several members of LCTV, a student-run television station at Lake Central High School, contributed a video tribute to the graduates. LCHS Counterpoints also performed "In My Life" in a video.
Lake Central High School is the biggest individual high school in Lake County. The enrollment at LCHS was over 3,000 for 2021.

LOWELL — Utility work is ongoing ahead of a road repaving project planned for Commercial Avenue in Lowell.
Indiana American Water is in the midst of relocating about 1,900 feet of water main along Commercial Avenue (Ind. 2). The main is being replaced with 8-inch and 10-inch ductile iron pipe between Lincoln and Burr streets, said Joe Loughmiller, external affairs manager at Indiana American Water.
“This section of water main has had a history of some main breaks and is being replaced/relocated ahead of an (Indiana Department of Transportation) repaving project,” Loughmiller said.
Loughmiller said the final length of the water main should be in place by the end of the week. After it’s installed, the contractor will begin final tie-ins to the existing water main and connect customers to the new line. All of that work should be finished by the end of June.
No full street closures are anticipated, but lane restrictions have been in place while the utility work continues.

After the water main work wraps up, INDOT plans to start its repaving project in July, Loughmiller said. That paving will take place on Commercial from U.S. 41 to Mississippi Street.

A Minnesota man listed in court documents as an armed career criminal has been sentenced to nearly three decades in prison on charges stemming from a September 2020 shooting in Bismarck.
A federal jury in February convicted Javaar Watkins, 32, of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland on Wednesday sentenced him to 27 years behind bars and five years on supervised release.
Watkins’ brother, Teeanthony Watkins, 29, was acquitted on the same charge.
The two were charged with attempted murder in state court after a Sept. 27, 2020, incident in which a man suffered several gunshot wounds, police said. The Rochester, Minnesota, brothers allegedly went to the man's North Third Street apartment building in Bismarck to retrieve a cellphone that had been picked up during an altercation in the parking lot of a Bismarck bar earlier that night. Police alleged that shots fired by the brothers caused wounds to the man’s mouth, hand and lower back.

BOISE, Idaho — KTVB is delighted to announce Justin Corr will be returning to the Channel 7 family as co-anchor for Wake Up Idaho.
From his previous 13 years on the team, many of them as an on-air personality, he’s a familiar face to many long-time KTVB viewers.
Justin grew up in the Treasure Valley and is an Eagle High and Boise State graduate. He got his start in broadcasting at Channel 7 back in 2002 as a producer and assignment editor. In 2005, after a short stint in Twin Falls, Justin joined KTVB’s sports team. In 2010, he made the move to news as a reporter and later the weekend anchor/producer.
He is no stranger to morning news. Justin spent three and half years as a morning and breaking news anchor at KY3/KSPR in Springfield, Missouri before moving back to Idaho. Back in Boise, Justin served as a strategic communication specialist for Bilbao & Co. and most recently as the Communications Director for the City of Boise.
Justin enjoys time spent with his wife, Katie and their sons, Noah and Phillip. He loves the simple things like playing board games with his family and taking hikes with his dogs, as long as there’s some sort of treat at the end of that hike (for both him and the dogs).
“I have absolutely loved serving this community alongside the incredible people at the City of Boise, but this was an opportunity to serve the larger community that I could not pass up,” said Justin Corr. “Co-anchoring with a longtime mentor of mine and the finest anchor working today, Maggie O’Mara, is a dream job. The fact that I also get to work with Jim Duthie, Brenda Rodriguez, all the great young journalists there, the experienced management team, and everyone else who creates the gold standard of news, makes this a perfect fit. I cannot wait.”
“From my years working with Justin, I have no doubt he’s the perfect fit for this role and the KTVB team. We are thrilled to bring him back home to where he started his broadcast career,” said Lisa Chavez, KTVB Director of Content. “He will cover our communities with the utmost care and integrity. His wealth of experience and knowledge as a journalist and an Idahoan is invaluable. I have no doubt our viewers will appreciate his contributions to KTVB’s local news coverage and appreciate his authentic, upbeat personality.”
Boise Mayor Lauren McLean sent out a statement Thursday morning.
“I am heartbroken to lose Justin as a member of my team," McLean said. "He has been a trusted advisor to me, and to everyone he’s worked with during his time at the city. Justin is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I know and has worked tirelessly on behalf of our community. KTVB is lucky to have a communicator of his caliber co-anchoring their morning show and I look forward to fielding his tough questions in that capacity.”
Justin will be joining the Wake Up Idaho team beginning on the morning of June 20.
Wake Up Idaho can be watched live Monday – Friday from 5-7 a.m. on KTVB, KTVB.com, the KTVB mobile app, and on Roku and Amazon Fire streaming services.

Young wildlife are rarely orphaned, so leave them where you find them. The advice you are likely to hear if you bring a young wild animal home is “put it back,” and you might get a warning or citation from Oregon State Police, too.
Because of the damage it can do to both wildlife and people, removing an animal from the wild is illegal under Oregon wildlife laws. (ORS 497.308 – No person shall remove from its natural habitat or acquire and hold in captivity any live wildlife in violation of the wildlife laws.)
Unfortunately, every year around this time, ODFW offices, licensed wildlife rehabilitators, and even Oregon State Police are flooded with calls from people who picked up a deer fawn, elk calf, fledgling bird learning to fly, or other young animal they assumed was orphaned because it was alone. When removed from the wild, the animal misses the chance to learn where to seek cover, what to eat and how to escape from predators and other dangers.
Here's how to help instead:
Keep pets and other domestic animals away to help wildlife this time of year. Pets will stress wildlife, especially if there are young wildlife or fledgling birds in your yard. Keep dogs on a leash when recreating outside.
If you are certain an animal is orphaned because you saw its parent die, or you see an animal that is injured, please call ODFW, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, or OSP for advice.
Deer and Elk
Oregon’s deer and elk give birth from May through July. It’s natural for mother animals to leave their young alone and hidden for extended periods of time while they go off to feed, so never assume a young animal is orphaned when you see it alone. The mother will return when it’s safe to do so—when people, pets or predators aren’t around. Deer and elk see dogs as a threat to their young so may act aggressively in response to disturbance from a dog.
Marine Mammals
The advice to leave animals in the wild applies to all wildlife—including adult and young marine mammals that are commonly seen alone resting on rocks or the beach in spring and summer. Beachgoers should stay away from resting seals and sea lions and keep dogs away from these animals as well. Marine mammal strandings should be reported to OSP's hotline at 1-800-452-7888.
Birds
Some baby birds, called fledglings, may become separated from their parents as they learn to fly. These are sometimes mistaken as abandoned birds. Unless obviously injured, fledglings should be left where they are or lifted carefully back into the nest or onto a branch to avoid predators, so they have the best chance at survival.
Ducklings and goslings frequently become separated from their mothers due to disturbance from humans or predators. If you spot young waterfowl without a mother, please leave them alone and leave the area so the mother can return.
With the recent detections of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Oregon, it is more important than ever to avoid close contact with waterfowl (ducks and geese) this spring and summer. Do not feed ducks and geese. Feeding congregates susceptible birds and enables the disease to spread between birds more easily. Also, note that Oregon's wildlife rehabilitators are not currently accepting sick ducks and geese to protect other avian patients and education birds in their care.

Oregon taxpayers can expect to share a $3 billion kicker.
The kicker tax credit goes into effect when the actual state revenue exceeds the forecasted revenue by at least 2%. An amount is then returned to the taxpayers through a credit on their tax returns.
The new kicker tax credit figures are announced in the just-released state revenue forecast.
“The economy continues to boom. Jobs, income, spending, and production are all rising quickly. However, pessimism about the expansion is growing,” that is the openinåg statement in the June 2022 Oregon Economic and Revenue Forecast issued by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis.
“Inflation is at multi-decade highs, eroding household budgets,” the summary reads. “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine created an oil shock and raised fears of increased conflict. A new round of pandemic-related shutdowns in China is set to exacerbate global supply chain struggles.”
The summary states that the economic dynamics are shifting.
“No longer is the U.S. or Oregon in recovery mode, but in net expansion territory,” the summary reads. “The challenges, risks, and trends associated with a mid-cycle expansion are different than those faced during the initial recovery.”
The summary claims the 2022 personal income tax filing season “has been shocking.” The tax season payments will come in more than $1.2 billion (70%) larger than last year.
The summary states that the unexpected revenue growth seen this year has left Oregon with unprecedented balances this biennium, followed by a record kicker in 2023-25.
Kickers
The projected personal kicker is $3 billion, which will be credited to taxpayers when they file their returns in Spring 2024.
The projected corporate kicker is $931 million and will be retained for educational spending.
Even so, if balances are not spent, net resources for the 2023-25 biennium will have increased by $427 million relative to the March 2022 forecast, according to the summary.
Reaction
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said the revenue forecast indicates that Oregon continues to experience economy strength as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Strong state revenues, coupled with an unemployment rate that is back down to pre-pandemic levels, should be welcome news for Oregonians, Brown stated.
“However, I know that not all Oregonians are feeling these positive effects, especially given rising costs of living,” she said.
Brown said the continued strength in the economy will allow the legislature to look at additional one-time investments in the coming budget cycle.
“Like those we’ve recently made in housing, behavioral health, and child care—to further spur growth and support working families, so that all Oregonians see and feel the benefits of our economic bounce back,” she said.
Brown warned that even with revenue growth, the state needs to proceed with caution and plan for the future.
“Strong leadership in Oregon has led the state to a place where we have ample reserves to help us weather unprecedented times,” Brown said. “We need to continue that forward-looking leadership as we head into the next budget cycle. We have to be careful.
“Experts are seeing storm clouds on the horizon. Oregon has done a good job saving. We’ll keep moving forward.”
Oregon Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp (R-Bend) said the $3 billion kicker will be a much-needed break from the increasing burden of inflation.
“The kicker continues to act as a check against the Democrat’s continuous urge to blow out the spending,” Knopp said. “Now, more than ever, it’s essential to protect the kicker. Too much spending got us into this inflation mess, it’s not going to get us out.
Knopp also urged caution.
“Our economists are predicting an economic downturn soon,” he said. “We must budget wisely for the future.”

As the United States Supreme Court moves closer to overturning 50 years of precedent set by the Roe v. Wade decision and states across the country aim to fully ban abortion, Oregon House Speaker Dan Rayfield (D-Corvallis) today announced the formation of the Reproductive Health and Access to Care Work Group.
“It was truly inspiring this past weekend to see thousands of Oregonians take to the streets to protest ongoing attacks against reproductive freedom,” Rayfield said. “Time and again, Oregonians have clearly affirmed their support for making abortion and other care safe and accessible to all. While other states roll back protections and attempt to criminalize health care access, this collaborative process with providers, clinics and elected leaders will make sure Oregon is prepared to support access to care in this changing landscape. We can’t be complacent.”
“This is an ‘all-hands on deck’ moment,” Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said. “Oregon can and must continue to be a leader for reproductive justice. I pledge to work alongside our elected champions and community partners to help keep Oregon a safe and welcoming place for anyone from anywhere who seeks access to abortion care.”
The work group of providers, clinics, community organizations, and legislators will focus on making recommendations to the Speaker for consideration in the 2023 legislative session and beyond. Recommendations may include policy, administrative, and budget proposals to protect, strengthen, and expand equitable access to all forms of reproductive care, gender-affirming care, and quality of care.
Recommendations may also include protections for populations being targeted, including LGBTQ+ children, families, and adults; reproductive and gender-affirming care patients and providers; health navigators and assisters; and more. The work group may also evaluate risks and mitigate legislative and legal gaps in the event that the U.S. Supreme Court attempts to overturn other landmark decisions protecting the rights to use of contraceptives and more.
“Justice Alito’s draft opinion has made clear that many freedoms are no longer safe, including basic access to contraceptives,” Rep. Travis Nelson (D-N/NE Portland) said. “We have to prepare for a future in which opponents of reproductive freedom are committed to turning the clock back even further. It’s outrageous and unprecedented, and we will be prepared if these nightmares become reality.”
The work group will aim to build on the protections and funding Oregon lawmakers have passed in recent years.
In 2017, legislative leaders and advocates recognized long-term threats to abortion access and passed the Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA), which codifies the right to an abortion in state law and makes family planning, abortion, and postpartum care available to all Oregonians.
In March, Democratic leadership established and made a $15 million investment in the Reproductive Health Equity Fund to mitigate harm from the looming Supreme Court decision, address urgent patient needs for abortion funds and practical support – like travel and lodging – and to expand provider network capacity.
Eastern Oregonians who rely on Boise and Meridian as the closest health centers could see an up to 35% decrease in access to care when Idaho bans abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute, Oregon could experience a potential 234% increase in people traveling to the state depending upon the bans that go into effect, creating added barriers for people seeking abortion care locally. Abortion restrictions have a disproportionate impact on Black, Indigenous and other people of color, who continue to be most harmed by gaps in access to abortion care.
“Wealthy individuals and those with resources and power will always be able to access abortion,” Rep. Andrea Valderrama (D-East Portland) said. “The impact of overturning Roe will be felt largely by Black, Latino and Indigenous people, immigrants, people living with low incomes, and people in rural areas. Our communities have long faced barriers to abortion access and will be a focal point of this work.”
Additionally, over half of U.S. state legislatures have considered banning best-practice medical care for trans youth, prompting some families with resources to move across state lines.

The Washington Crossing Historical Site will hold it's annual Memorial Day observance on Sunday, and the ceremony will honor men who lost their lives while George Washington's Continental Army camped in Bucks County during the winter of 1776.
American flags will be placed at the gravesite of the soldiers buried there. All but one are buried in unmarked graves, their identities lost to history.
The only known soldier at the site was 26-year-old artillery captain James Moore. During the ceremony, the Daughters of The American Revolution will dedicate a plaque at Moore's gravesite.

Milder weather has helped firefighters further suppress the Elgin Bridge Fire and stop its forward movement.
The blaze, which broke out Monday morning northeast of Elgin, was 30% contained as of Thursday morning and hadn't grown from the previously reported 2,149 acres.
Firefighters continued working through the day on Wednesday and overnight doing hand line construction around the fire to keep it within its current footprint, officials said.
The threat to structures and infrastructure has significantly decreased, but crews remain alert for any possible rekindles or wind shifts that could ignite any hot spots.
The fire is still south of State Route 82, smoldering and creeping within grass, brush, and chaparral in steep and semi-remote terrain in the Mustang Mountain range. The cause has yet to be determined.
An estimated 200 personnel remain assigned to the fire and aircraft is on standby.

Few comics have generated as much controversy in the past few years — or ever — as Dave Chappelle.
After years of walking on the comedic edge between insightful and offensive, his last streaming comedy special, "The Closer," was widely condemned by LGBTQ groups for its offensive and harmful comments towards transgender people.
Despite the backlash, Chappelle's career has seemed largely unaffected by the outcry, aside from adding a new thread of victimhood to his sets. His previous performance in the Bay Area, which kicked off his first tour after the special aired, was a sold-out affair at the Chase Center featuring an all-star cast of local guests, ranging from Too Short to E-40.
Tonight he returns to San Francisco for a late-night performance at the Punch Line following the Golden State Warriors playoff game. At time of publication, tickets are still available, but they don't come cheap. General admission tickets through Live Nation cost $150 each plus fees.
Chappelle has a long history with San Francisco and the Punch Line specifically. In the period after leaving his Comedy Central show in the mid-aughts, he came to SF to sharpen his stand-up chops. Chappelle has also frequently referenced his friendship with late San Francisco comedian Daphne Dorman to contradict accusations that he is prejudiced against the transgender community.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Birmingham’s population is continuing to drop, now making it the third biggest city in Alabama behind Huntsville and Montgomery, the U.S. Census Bureau report.
On Tuesday, the bureau released estimates for 2021, which placed Huntsville at approximately 216,963; Montgomery at 198,665 and Birmingham with roughly 197,575. Behind the Magic City is Mobile, whose population was estimated to be 184,952 last year. Meanwhile, Tuscaloosa’s population is estimated to be 100,618.
In the 2020 Census, there were approximately 130 people separating Montgomery and Birmingham. In the latest estimate, Montgomery topped Birmingham as Alabama’s second-largest city.
Birmingham’s latest drop represents a 1.6% drop since the 2020 Census report was released, as well as the first time the city’s population has dipped below 200,000 since the 1920 Census. Mobile lost the second-highest number of people behind Birmingham with a 1% drop in population. In the 2010 Census, the city had roughly 195,111 people.
Huntsville and Tuscaloosa were the only two major Alabama cities whose populations are estimated to have risen, with Huntsville’s rising 1.2% and Tuscaloosa’s population rising 0.9%.
Although Birmingham was Alabama’s biggest city for decades, the city has been slowly losing population over the years, first starting in 1960, when the city was at its largest with nearly 341,000 people.
In 2010, Huntsville was the fourth largest Alabama city with approximately 180,105 people. By the 2020 Census, the city had claimed the top spot with an estimated 215,006 residents.
However, the population of the different cities’ metropolitan areas tell a different story. As of 2020, Birmingham’s metro population stands at nearly 1.1 million, making it the most populous metro area in Alabama and consists of towns and communities in Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, St. Clair, and Shelby counties. Meanwhile, Huntsville’s metro population is estimated at approximately 481,681, the second largest in the state, and includes Madison and Limestone counties. Mobile’s metro population stands at roughly 428,692 while Montgomery’s is approximately 372,583.

Keilan Schultz, 17, of Wymore, was pronounced dead at the scene of Saturday's crash. Billy O'Keefe Jr., 18, also of Wymore, was taken to Bryan Campus West in serious condition.
Police said 45-year-old Rodney Badberg punched the man three times and kicked him once before fleeing the area on foot, leaving the man bleeding on the sidewalk.
The mission to show Tom Cruise a good time as he prepared to film "Top Gun" in 1985 fell to Lt. Walter E. Carter, Jr., known to his fellow naval aviators as Slapshot, and to the Cornhusker state as University of Nebraska President Ted Carter.
The charge stems from April 14, when the 22-year-old reported he heard sawing noises in his driveway and saw three men underneath his car, according to police.
Henry Lee Jones, a resident of 2801 F St., was pronounced dead at a local hospital after a fight broke out around 6:30 a.m. Thursday near the intersection in front of his house, Assistant Police Chief Jason Stille said.

ALBANY — Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center, the internationally recognized, state-funded technology business incubator, has expanded its reach into southwest Georgia with the hiring of Albany native Jud Savelle as the new catalyst for ATDC@Albany.
ATDC is a part of Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute, the nation’s largest, most comprehensive, university-based program of entrepreneurship and startup development, business and industry growth, and international outreach. Through the ATDC@ program, the incubator’s expertise and resources are available around the state, with catalysts seeking out tech entrepreneurs in Alpharetta, Athens, Augusta, Forsyth County, Macon, Peachtree Corners, Savannah, and now, Albany.
“Historically, to do a tech startup, being in a large metropolitan area has been a key part of that,” Ben Andrews, ATDC’s statewide program manager, said. “You need access not just to talent, but also resources like law firms and accounting firms that have specialized skills to work with scaling companies. We help make those connections for you, even if you're not in an area like Atlanta.”
Savelle said he sees lots of potential in Albany for the ATDC.
“We're agriculture,” he said. “And I think there are a lot of really smart, sharp entrepreneurs here that — given the right tools and resources, and just knowing about the resources that are available to them through Georgia Tech — could really expand on what our community is capable of doing. I just want to be a part of that."
Savelle, a Georgia Tech graduate with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in industrial engineering, said he also is excited about working for his alma mater. He and his family own Bishop Clean Care, a residential and commercial cleaning and restoration company in Albany.
The Albany Area Chamber of Commerce is part of the excitement as well.
"ATDC’s expansion to Albany indicates the wealth of innovation and opportunity that exists here for entrepreneurs to launch and grow their companies,” Bárbara Rivera Holmes, president and CEO of the Albany Area Chamber, said. “We're thrilled to partner with ATDC and Jud to maximize the impact of this unmatched Georgia Tech resource for our community and our region."
Savelle and the chamber have been brainstorming on the types of industry that might be a good fit in the area.
“We have a big opportunity with agriculture and AgTech,” Savelle said. “There's a lot of traction, really nationwide, right now in AgTech. I think my role is to find these companies or these individuals, in any industry, who are eager to solve a problem and use the ATDC through its coaching resources, its educational resources.”
The Advanced Technology Development Center is the state of Georgia’s technology startup incubator. Founded in 1980 by the Georgia General Assembly, which funds it each year, ATDC’s mission is to work with entrepreneurs in Georgia to help them learn, launch, scale, and succeed in the creation of viable, disruptive technology companies. Since its founding, ATDC has grown to become one of the longest-running and most successful university-affiliated incubators in the United States, with its graduate startup companies raising $3 billion in investment financing and generating more than $12 billion in revenue in the state of Georgia.

GREENUP COUNTY, KY (WOWK) – A new startup business is coming to Greenup County.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear says Omnis Building Technologies (OBT) Ashland is set to build a new facility in Greenup County. The governor says the new 100,000 square-foot facility at the Wurtland Riverport is expected to be an investment of $45.5 million into the commonwealth and to create 55 well-paying jobs.
“We are working to create economic opportunities and quality jobs in every region of the state, and this investment by OBT Ashland in Greenup County helps move us toward that goal,” Beshear said. “I am thrilled the company’s leaders see the great advantages of locating in this community, and I look forward to OBT’s growth in Northeast Kentucky for years to come.”
According to Beshear’s Office, OBT Ashland uses renewable resources and advanced materials to manufacture economical, sustainable and fire-resistant doors and cabinetry. The governor’s office says the doors and cabinets produced at the facility will be available for wholesale, but will primarily be used in OBT’s own energy-efficient homes.
Those energy-efficient homes, Beshear says, are made with a type of panel called Composite Insulated Building Units, which are produced at a facility in Bluefield West Virginia. The governor says the two facilities in neighboring states will complement each other and provide affordable, high-quality, energy-efficient homes to satisfy a growing housing market.
According to OBT President Jonathan Hodson, major factors in choosing Greenup County as the location for the new facility included existing infrastructure, such as direct rail and river access, and the ability to serve a substantial portion of the U.S. population.
“We are excited to expand our presence in Appalachia and to bring family-sustaining jobs to Kentucky by manufacturing revolutionary products to assist in solving the nation’s housing crisis,” Hodson said. “Our collaboration with successful local businesses like Wright Concrete is ensuring our mission will be achieved.”
OBT says they also have a goal to support growth in communities impacted by declines in the coal industry and to create a more economically diverse ecosystem through job creation, capital investments, workforce development and re-employment opportunities.
Greenup County Judge/Executive Robert Carpenter says he expects the company will have “sustained success” at its new facility.
“We are happy to welcome Omnis Building Technologies to Greenup County,” Carpenter said. “This cutting-edge technology is a great fit for our area’s workforce. We look forward to their long-term success and growth.”
The governor’s office says the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority also preliminarily approved a 15-year incentive agreement with the company under the Kentucky Business Investment program as an effort to encourage investment and job growth. Beshear says the performance-based agreement could provide up to $2.1 million in tax incentives based on the $45.5 million investment and annual goals of creating and maintaining 55 full-time jobs filled by Kentucky residents across 15 years and paying an average hourly wage of $33, including benefits, across those jobs.
Beshear says if the company meets those annual targets, it will can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates and can receive resources from the state’s workforce providers.

Former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in New York state’s civil investigation into his business practices, a state appeals court ruled Thursday.
A four-judge panel in the appellate division of the state’s trial court upheld Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 17 ruling enforcing subpoenas for Trump and his two eldest children to give deposition testimony in Attorney General Letitia James’ probe.
Trump had appealed, seeking to overturn the ruling. His lawyers argued that ordering the Trumps to testify violated their constitutional rights because their answers could be used in a parallel criminal investigation.
“The existence of a criminal investigation does not preclude civil discovery of related facts, at which a party may exercise the privilege against self-incrimination,” the four-judge panel wrote, citing the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Message seeking comment were left with lawyers for the Trumps and with James’ office. The Trumps could still appeal the ruling to the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals.
James, a Democrat, has said her investigation has uncovered evidence Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, used “fraudulent or misleading” valuations of assets like golf courses and skyscrapers to get loans and tax benefits.
Thursday’s ruling could mean a tough decision for Trump about whether to answer questions, or stay silent, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Anything Trump says in a civil deposition could be used against him in the criminal probe being overseen by the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
At a hearing prior to Engoron’s Feb. 17 ruling, Trump’s lawyers argued that having him sit for a civil deposition is an improper attempt to get around a state law barring prosecutors from calling someone to testify before a criminal grand jury without giving them immunity.
A lawyer for the attorney general’s office told Engoron that it wasn’t unusual to have civil and criminal investigations proceeding at the same time, and Engoron rejected a request from lawyers for the Trumps to pause the civil probe until the criminal matter is over.
Last summer, spurred by evidence uncovered in James’ civil investigation, the Manhattan district attorney’s office charged the Trump Organization and its longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, with tax fraud, alleging he collected more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation. Weisselberg and the company have pleaded not guilty.

The results from the environmental study that was conducted at a New Jersey high school campus enveloped in a brain tumor cluster mystery among graduates and workers at the school will be revealed Thursday.
Colonia Mayor John McCormac will announce Thursday afternoon the findings of the Environmental Assessment Study that was conducted to investigate if Colonia High School buildings and grounds.
The analysis was conducted after more than 100 former high school students and staff over a 30-year period were diagnosed with cancers. The study was to see if the area possibly had radiological contaminants that would contribute to diagnoses of brain cancers and other central nervous system tumors or disorders among these alumni, teachers and current students.
The announcement comes on the heels of the development that a New Jersey man who graduated from the high school that he believes is linked to a mysterious cluster of brain tumors dating back decades -- and to his own diagnosis -- says he's gotten a New York City-based foundation signed on to offer free brain scans to people in the community who may not otherwise have access. He just needs a place.
More than 100 former Colonia High School students and staff have been diagnosed with brain cancer over a 30-year period. That decades-long stretch ended in the early 2000s, but recent publicity around the cases prompted an exhaustive new investigation and radiological testing at the Woodbridge Township School District building. The analysis took several weeks.
Al Lupiano is a Colonia High School graduate and environmental scientist who was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. His wife, Michelle, who also attended Colonia high, got a benign diagnosis as well, though the two came 20 years apart.
Lupiano's sister, however, another Colonia alumnus, recently died from brain cancer -- and MyCentralJersey.com reports brother Al promised her before she died that he'd find out why the tumors were occurring in the specific community. He thinks the cases stem from contaminated soil, but there's no data to prove that at this point.
Even though the cluster cases ended almost two decades ago, Lupiano appears as determined as ever to uncover the cause -- and he understands that parents who send their kids to school there now may have some concerns despite what officials tell them.
The school has stayed open because there's no evidenced or discernible threat at this point, parents have said district officials told them, citing reports from local, state and federal investigators. But as the study continues, a number of people in the community are looking for some kind of reassurance.
Lupiano says he has a solution, that he's negotiated with the Manhattan-based Brain Tumor Foundation to provide free MRI brain screenings to anyone who may want one.
"Dozens of people have asked me to help them find a way to have a brain scan since they have been having signs and symptoms something may be wrong, but due to lack of insurance or not being able to afford the deductible, have not been able to have an MRI scan," Lupiano wrote in a Facebook post. "With that in mind, and after many weeks of work, I was able to negotiate an agreement with BTF to provide this service completely FREE of charge."
But where? He's looking for a place to host the screenings in early June and says he's had trouble working with local officials to find one. According to MyCentralJersey.com, the issue stems from legal concerns over the potential risk of offering a medical procedure with which municipal officials have no experience.
A Change.org petition launched earlier this month on behalf of "concerned Colonia High School parents, alumni, and township members" demands a public meeting with state officials in New Jersey and federal authorities. It now has more than 3,500 signatures. It had a little more than 200 in the first few days after it started.
Those who have signed the petition say the drips and drabs of information they're getting -- via detail-bereft statements released to the press or other mediums -- don't meet the standard of attention and transparency they say is merited "when children’s health and lives are at stake."
"We appreciate the NJDOH, NJDEP, ATSDR, and CDC assistance to the Woodbridge Township’s environmental investigation that is currently ongoing, but strongly believe that this is not enough," the petition says in part. "The agencies acknowledged their concerns regarding the potential cancer cluster, but are not conducting any testing aside from radiation and radon that the Township undertook, even though the school remains open. Because the school remains open, we demand greater urgency to find out if potentially harmful substances are harming our children and staff at Colonia High School."
More Coverage
Despite the number of possible cases, officials say they must first determine if there is any scientific evidentiary connection between the school grounds and the brain tumors.
The city of Woodbridge says it has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for testing at a school that graduated roughly 15,000 people over the last 30 years.
Parents like Dawn Genoni are willing to wait for that critical update.
"I have full faith they will get to the bottom of this and they will figure out what is going on," she previously told News 4.
Gov. Phil Murphy, whose administration has also been pushed to get more involved, recently described the tumor cluster as disturbing but echoed Woodbridge Township officials in stressing it was too soon to make definitive conclusions about the cause.
"We absolutely have concerns,” the Democrat told NJ.com. "I don’t know that we know enough yet to be definitive in terms of causation, et cetera."
Ultimately, if it isn’t a radiation source that is causing these illnesses, Lupiano says other tests can be done to pinpoint a cause.
"This is only the tip of the iceberg. This is only one of many, many tests that can be performed. Frequently, in hazmat, you never find it in the first shot," Lupiano said.

A 59-year-old New Jersey woman has been arrested on bias intimidation and child endangerment charges in a nail salon attack on two teenage boys who were wearing hijabs, the Passaic County prosecutor's office announced Thursday.
Nancy Jones is also accused of simple assault, harassment and petty disorderly person offenses in the April 30 attack on the 13- and 15-year-old boys in the Clifton salon near Lakeview Avenue and East Ninth Street.
Cops responded to the area that day after getting a report of an assault. According to prosecutors, the 13- and 15-year-old boys they met when they got there told them Jones approached them in the salon, harassed them and told them to go back to their country. She allegedly hit the 13-year-old in the head during the altercation.
A warrant was issued for Jones' arrest once she was identified as the suspect. She surrendered to authorities Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
Jones is expected to be arraigned Thursday and will be released on conditions, prosecutors said. The charges have been referred to a grand jury. Information on a possible attorney for her wasn't immediately available.
Prosecutors ask anyone with information on the case to call their tips line at 1-877-370-PCPO or email tips@passaiccountynj.org.

A New York City patient has been presumptively diagnosed with the highly contagious monkeypox virus even though CDC tests were inconclusive, health officials said Thursday.
The CDC, which is responsible for confirming cases of the disease, which typically isn't found in the United States, did not conclusively identify monkeypox in its testing, New York City health officials said, but earlier tests did detect orthopoxvirus, the family of viruses to which monkeypox belongs, and the case presented as monkeypox.
In a conference call earlier this week, the CDC told reporters that such examples should be treated as probable cases.
The New York City patient is being treated in isolation in New York City and contract tracing, an all-too-familiar term in the city amid the COVID-19 pandemic, will continue.
Health officials say an "astute provider" alerted them to the case, launching the investigation. It continues to work with healthcare providers to investigate other reports and warns it is possible additional cases of monkeypox may be identified.
Most New Yorkers aren't at risk of becoming infected, officials say.
"Monkeypox is rare but can spread through close prolonged contact with an infected person or animal. This might include contact with the skin lesions, body fluids or sharing clothes or other materials that have been used by someone who is infectious, and also through respiratory droplets in prolonged face-to-face contact," the health department statement said. "As a precaution, any New Yorkers who experience flu-like illness with swelling of lymph nodes and rash occurring on the face and body should contact their healthcare provider."
The CDC issued a similar message Monday, urging people to seek treatment if needed as it expects to see more rare monkeypox cases emerge in the United States. Just the Massachusetts one has been confirmed so far. A second potential New York City monkeypox case was quickly ruled out by testing, health officials previously said.
The first U.S. confirmed case in 2022 of the contagious monkeypox disease, which is caused by a viral infection similar to those that cause smallpox and cowpox, was reported last week in Massachusetts. According to the CDC, the sample is the West African strain, which is the milder of the two monkeypox strains. Most people who become infected recover within two to four weeks with little or no intervention.
Monkeypox is rare in the U.S. because it doesn't occur naturally here, according to the CDC. Any cases confirmed in America typically are associated with international travel or animal imports from areas where the disease is more common.
Most potential cases the CDC is investigating do not involve recent travel to countries that typically see a lot of monkeypox, so it says it is working diligently to track the connections. The risk to the general public appears to be low at this time.
Monkeypox is rarely identified outside of Africa, but as of last week, there were 80 confirmed cases worldwide, including at least two in the United States, and another 50 suspected ones.
The World Health Organization says the outbreaks in North America and Europe may stem from sex among men -- with a total of about 200 confirmed and suspected cases now reported globally.
President Joe Biden issued his first public comments on the outbreak when asked about the investigation on Sunday At the time, he said monkeypox was something about which Americans should be "concerned."
“They haven’t told me the level of exposure yet but it is something that everybody should be concerned about,” the Democrat said.
Biden added that work was underway to determine which vaccine might be effective. He was also quick to assure the public that the threat from monkeypox doesn't rise to the same threat level as COVID.
More Coverage
What Is Monkeypox?
Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958, when outbreaks occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research -- resulting in its name. (What you need to know about monkeypox.)
The first case in a human was reported in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which still has the majority of infections. Other African countries where it has been found: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Liberia, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo and Sierra Leone.
Human symptoms of monkeypox are similar to but milder than the symptoms of smallpox, the CDC says. It presents itself as a flu-like illness accompanied by lymph-node swelling and rash on the face and body.
Monkeypox starts off with fever, headache, muscle aches, and exhaustion. Monkeypox also causes lymph nodes to swell, something that smallpox does not. The incubation period is usually 7−14 days but can range from 5−21 days.
Typically, cases recorded outside of Africa have been linked to international travel or animals that have been imported.
The CDC is urging healthcare providers in the U.S. to be alert for patients who have rashes consistent with monkeypox, regardless of whether they have traveled or have specific risks for monkeypox. See more information from the travel notice here.

13-year-old Prescott boy charged after threatening to 'shoot up' school, Sheriff's Office says
A 13-year-old boy was charged with terrorism for threatening to shoot a middle school in Prescott last week, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.
On May 17, a school driver for the Prescott Mile High Middle School told school administrators that before dropping off the boy near his home, he threatened three times to "shoot up the school." School administrators contacted authorities and the boy's mother.
The boy was arrested and booked into the Yavapai County Juvenile Detention Center. He was charged with threatening or intimidating, interference or disruption of an educational institution and making a terrorist threat.
“I want to speak to directly to the young people out there. I cannot stress enough the seriousness of making a threat to a school, even if you are ‘just kidding,’” said Sheriff David Rhodes in a statement. “You will be arrested and charged for making these types of dangerous threats. ‘I wasn’t serious’ isn’t a defense, so please be aware that your words have consequences.”
The Sheriff's Office said they met with the boy and his mother at their home, and he admitted to making the threat.
Authorities said the boy told them he did it to distract the driver when his friend was moving to the back of the bus, and that he had no intentions of harming anyone at school.
His mother told authorities there were guns locked in a safe in the home. A deputy suggested to change the combination in case the boy knew it. All parents with gun safes should do that routinely, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The charges out of Prescott come as 19 children and two teachers were killed Tuesday when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
"In the wake of the latest deadly school shooting in Texas, we cannot be too careful and diligent. YCSO extends our condolences to the families of the victims in Uvalde tragedy," the sheriff's office said in a news release.

Tempe leaders to vote June 2 on negotiating with Arizona Coyotes on proposed arena
Tempe leaders will take their first public vote June 2 on the Arizona Coyotes' bid to build an arena and entertainment district on city-owned land.
If the City Council votes "yes," it would trigger a months-long negotiations process between representatives of the NHL team and the city. Public meetings would be held and community input gathered in that time, according to the city.
A "no" vote would mean the council rejects the Coyotes' proposal. The council could seek more proposals to develop the city-owned land at Rio Salado Parkway and Priest Drive, along the dry Salt River just west of Tempe Town Lake.
The city issued a call for proposals last summer for a professional sports-anchored entertainment district. The Coyotes were the only respondent, proposing a $1.7 billion project with a hockey arena, hotels, apartments, restaurants and shops.
The proposal in September came just after Glendale officials announced they would not renew the team's lease to play at Gila River Arena. The team's tumultuous 19-year run in Glendale ended April 29.
For subscribers:Why airport officials are worried about Arizona Coyotes' proposal
Nearly 9 months of review
Tempe staffers have been analyzing the proposal since last September with the assistance of sports, legal and financial consultants.
The council got its first look at the proposal in April. It met behind closed doors to consult with attorneys and to review the staff's analysis. The city released a statement following the meeting indicating the council requested clarifications from the team.
Tempe officials announced Wednesday that it's now at a point where the council must decide whether to move forward with negotiations.
The 46 acres of city-owned land proposed for the arena and entertainment district is currently a compost yard and previously was used as a dump. Extensive remediation will be needed.
Although the Coyotes have committed to footing most of the bill for the project, they seek $200 million in city sales tax revenue generated by the development that would go toward remediation.
If Tempe leaders move forward with negotiations and ultimately OK a deal, the team would need approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to develop the site since it's located under Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's flight path.
Airport officials have already raised concerns over the proposal, citing the site's proximity to runways, building heights, construction equipment potentially impacting air traffic and fireworks and lighting that could interfere with aircraft performance.
The Coyotes recently addressed concerns about potential economic impacts that construction of the project could have on the airport. However, airport officials still assert the main issue is air traffic noise interfering with the apartments the team is proposing to build on the site.

The organization is looking at two initiave petitions that would limit magazine capacity, require permit to purchase firearm and background checks.

ANKENY, Iowa — Following the fatal school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, two advocates for safer gun laws are hoping changes start to be made.
Chloe Gayer, a soon-to-be grad in the Ankeny Community School District and national advisory board member with Students Demand Action, said she was sad in the minutes after learning of the shooting because innocent lives were taken.
"I spent the day grieving for children I never knew because I knew they would never get to have the day I'm having today."
The group Gayer is a part of is comprised of teens and young adults who have been fighting to end gun violence. Hearing about gun violence is a common theme she has known about growing up throughout her school years.
"The first memory I have of public school back in second grade was the Sandy Hook shooting," Gayer said. "That's the generation I've grown up in, and now the last memory I have is the same thing."
As someone who has been advocating for gun safety and changes for a while, Gayer wants to do more and make sure something like this doesn't happen again. And she hopes other community members want the same, by demanding their elected officials do more.
"People should always reach out to their legislators about the issues that matter to them," Gayer said. "That is a foundation of our democracy is that we have this ability to reach out to our legislation."
Art Roche, a board member for Iowans for Gun Safety, said this most recent shooting has him more devoted to his cause.
"I’m angry that we have let things get to the position in all the states,” he said.
Roche is putting his energy toward a project his group has been working on.
"Oppose what we're calling the reckless gun amendment," Roche said. "It's kind of a sham depiction of the United States Second Amendment to be enacted in Iowa …it would strip the Legislature's ability to pass any kind of common-sense gun laws."
And Gayer said though it's important to demand change from elected officials, it's important to remember the 21 people who lost their lives.
"We have to take time to honor these families and honor these children and these teachers."
Gayer said Students Demand Action is planning a nationwide walkout from schools on Thursday, May 26.

'We are the solution.' Goodwill annual breakfast touts nonprofit's services, achievements
JACKSON TWP. – After two years of being an online event, Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland & East Central Ohio hosted its annual breakfast in-person Thursday at the Kent State Stark Conference Center to highlight its accomplishments over the past two years and to recognize some outstanding clients, employees and employers.
More:Five questions with ... Maureen Ater at Goodwill Industries
Steven Preston, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International, was the keynote speaker.
Local President and CEO Anne Richards told the crowd of more than 1,000 that the breakfast's theme, "Rise & Shine," describes what the nonprofit has done in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We never stopped serving clients at the time they needed us the most," she said.
More:Coming Together Stark County becomes a Goodwill mission
The local Goodwill serves 14,000 people in its 10-county region. It operates 28 programs which are supported by retail stores and individual donations.
Richards said Goodwill received 815,454 donations last year, totaling more than 800,000 pounds of clothing, housewares and furniture recycled f.
"We need 1 million pounds to keep the stores full," she said.
Richards said new stores in Canton, Westlake, and Lyndhurst have opened, with plans to open stores in Massillon and Garfield Heights.
"We're also looking for additional space for new stores," Richards said. "We believe there are millions in untapped revenue for our stores."
'Our collective impact is massive.'
Preston, who oversees 155 Goodwill CEOS, 3,300 stores and 600 job centers, lauded Richards as one of Goodwill's top leaders.
"Our collective impact is massive," he said. "The individual impact is what makes the work exciting."
Goodwill was founded in 1902 in Boston by the Rev. Edgar J. Helms.
"He was tireless in his efforts to reach every person," Preston said. "He wanted to help everyone reach their full potential."
He said Goodwill, which offers a number of job training programs, still upholds Helms' principles.
"I believe he dedicated his life to Goodwill because he knew the power of work in the life of an individual," he said. "Work is a central part of a human flourishing."
Preston noted there are 11.5 million job openings across the country, the highest in U.S. history.
There's "a huge 'opportunity gap' between opportunity and need," he said, adding that the while the economy is strong, a large segment of "invisible workers" are not thriving due to underemployment or a lack of marketable job skills.
That was reinforced in the results of a national poll conducted by the nonprofit.
"Across all groups, one overriding message people told us was the lack of skills and training prevented them from getting better jobs," he said. "We dug deeper and we found that people wanted to get better skills. People want to do better, but they're not finding a pathway to get there."
Preston said obstacles include childcare and mental health.
Tackling the opportunity gap
"Something we've known at Goodwill for a very long time is that people need help navigating their skills," Preston said. "They need coaching and someone to cheer them on."
Richards said the pandemic made Goodwill stronger, more tenacious and adaptable than its ever been in its history.
"But we're not satisfied with that until everyone is served," she said. "People in our community rise and shine every day to overcome obstacles, to learn new skills and to beat the odds."
Preston said Goodwill is the perfect place to do it.
"This is a huge opportunity for employers and people," he said. "Can we make it happen? The answer has huge implications for us. Our communities need strong Goodwills because we are the solution for closing the opportunity gap for so many people."
Goodwill hands out awards
The breakfast included an auction, and highlighted the 25th anniversary of Compass, which serves survivors of sexual abuse. Goodwill also handed out several annual awards:
- The Tuscarawas County Victims' Assistance program received an Excellence in Collaboration award.
- Kaylee Frazier was recognized as Achiever of the Year.
- Marlene Sullenberger, a survivor of domestic violence, was given the Edgar J. Helms Outstanding Achiever Award.
- Casi Barbera won the Graduate of the Year Award.
- Goodwill employee Patty Lohr was named the winner of the Ken Weber Servant Leadership Award.
- Dioguardi's Italian Market & Deli in Canton was named Employer of the Year.

Manatee County names Sheila McLean as interim Chief Financial Officer
Manatee County has promoted Sheila McLean to an interim chief financial officer position to replace Jan Brewer, who resigned earlier this week.
McLean takes over the role immediately and brings 35 years of accounting experience. She has worked in local government for 24 years, including 16 years working in the Finance Department at the Manatee County Clerk of Circuit Court's office and 8 years in the county's financial management department, according to a press release.
Most recently, McLean worked as the county's deputy director for the budget.

Manatee clerk criticizes County Administrator Scott Hopes in letter to commission
“I love my county,“ McLean said in the press release. “This is the place that allowed me to create a career and to make a difference.”
McLean's appointment comes days after Brewer resigned from the role.
In her resignation letter, Brewer expressed concern that Manatee County Administrator Scott Hopes was withholding information from her, and said that issues that were raised by Manatee County Clerk of Circuit Court and Comptroller Angelina Colonneso over the weekend made her uneasy about continuing in the role.
Manatee County is in the midst of its budget preparation season, and as interim CFO, McLean will be tasked with spearheading the process. The county's first budget workshop is scheduled for June 8.

Manatee school's armed guard gains attention following Uvalde, Texas school shooting
Following the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Harold Verdecia took his post as an armed guard at Manatee School for the Arts.
Armed with a Kel-Tec “Bullpup” rifle and a Glock 19X, Verdecia's duties are different from that of a typical school resource officer. He's there for the sole purpose of stopping an active shooter.
Kelly Hillman, Manatee School for the Arts director of communications, confirmed Verdecia was still employed Thursday. She declined any further comment out of respect for the families affected by Tuesday's shooting.
On Tuesday, a shooter killed at least 19 children and two adults at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The tragedy re-ignited interest in Verdecia on social media and on the Herald-Tribune's previous coverage.
Because Manatee School for the Arts is a charter school, it has the freedom to allow its armed guards to carry rifles. Resource officers in district schools carry 9-millimeter Glocks.
Following the Parkland shooting, the Florida Legislature passed a law requiring all schools in the state to have armed security. Most schools achieved this through a school resource officer. Sarasota County met the requirement by creating its own police force.

In 2019, the state expanded guns on school campuses by allowing teachers and staff to carry guns in classrooms provided they had training. The next year, Florida passed "Alyssa's Law", which requires schools to have a silent alarm system in place to contact police.

Coast guard search from Brevard to Fort Pierce for missing Vero Beach boater suspended
The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search for a 68-year-old missing Vero Beach boater whose vessel washed ashore with a running motor in Melbourne Beach last week.
The Coast Guard canvassed an area the size of Connecticut for over 132 hours.
The search was suspended Sunday after the Coast Guard was expected to discuss the case with the man's family, according to a news release.
The 29-foot boat ran ashore in Brevard County on Thursday with the engines still running, less than four hours after Dale Hossfield left the Fort Pierce Inlet for a solo boat trip.

He left about 2 p.m. Wednesday, according to Coast Guard officials, who were alerted that his boat had washed ashore in Melbourne Beach without him at 5:45 p.m. that evening.
"We have made the difficult decision to suspend the search for Dale Hossfield," said Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Delgado, Coast Guard Sector Miami search and rescue coordinator.
"We extend our deepest condolences to Dale's family and friends during this difficult time."
Indian River County records show Hossfield lives at an address just southwest of Vero Beach city limits and owns a rental home in the county. Efforts to talk to family and neighbors were unsuccessful.
Hossfield retired from Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York City. Records from New York show he has long enjoyed the outdoors. He owned at least one boat there, and he had a fishing license there as of 2014.
Florida Fish and Wildlife also joined in as searchers spanned 4,264 miles of ocean from Fort Pierce to south Brevard County. Several small Coast Guard boats from Fort Pierce and Cape Canaveral and a helicopter from Miami were called in to look for the missing boater.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Coast Guard at 1-305-535-4472.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — THV11 announced this week that central Arkansas native Brooke Buckner will join the reporting team at Little Rock’s CBS affiliate.
Brooke comes to THV11 after reporting and anchoring in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
She’s an Arkansas State graduate and said she’s always loved news and the importance of local journalism. She even interned at THV11 during her time as an undergrad.
Longtime viewers have perhaps known Brooke for some time, as she is the daughter of former Chief Meteorologist Ed Buckner, who was a part of the THV11 weather team for more than two decades.
In early 2020, he announced a leave of absence for health complications stemming from Tourette’s Syndrome and later determined he would step down from his role as chief.
“We have watched Brooke grow up here in central Arkansas, and we’re thrilled to welcome her back home,” THV11 News Director Shayla Teater said. “She’ll be an excellent addition to our unique reporting team.”
Brooke said that in her free time, she loves playing tennis and guitar. Viewers can catch her reporting beginning in early July.

UVALDE, Texas — Tragedy struck Robb Elementary in Uvalde on Tuesday.
At least 21 people, including 19 children, were killed in a shooting, according to law enforcement officials. Several others, both students and adults, are being treated for injuries.

Renfro said Uziyah last visited him in San Angelo during spring break.
“We started throwing the football together and I was teaching him pass patterns. Such a fast little boy and he could catch a ball so good,” Renfro said. “There were certain plays that I would call that he would remember and he would do it exactly like we practiced.”

“She was adventurous. I would definitely say those wonderful things about her. She is definitely going to be very missed,” said 34-year-old relative Amber Ybarra, of San Antonio.
Ybarra prepared to give blood for the wounded and pondered how no one noticed trouble with the shooter in time to stop him.

And she was excited because there were gonna, I guess, announce the ones that made it to all stars. And she was also saying like, 'what if I make it? I'm gonna be so nervous.'

Sissy I miss you so much, I just want to hold you and tell you how pretty you are, I want to take you outside and practice softball, I want to go on one last family vacation, I want to hear your contagious laugh, and I want you to hear me tell you how much I love you. Tessy mom, dad, and I won't be the same without you but we are comforted knowing you are waiting for us up in heaven and have a spot for us. We have one sassy guardian angel that I know is going to protect our family. Till we meet again Tess Marie, love your Big Sister"

100-year rain every few months: How Ellettsville is trying to fix its flooding problem
Zach Kortea has lived in Ellettsville for about four years but his place is still packed up in plastic containers and his walls are bare.
It's not that he hasn't unpacked, but rather he can't predict the next time his downtown apartment will flood, displacing him and damaging his belongings. He's moving soon, and the flooding was a factor in that decision.
"You got your whole life piled up in boxes like you're going to move," Kortea said. "But really you're just trying to look out for this again, so you don't lose anything."
New town development plans are in the works, and a path to control the flooding problem is intertwined within other beautification and growth efforts. Efforts to curb this environmental problem may begin later this year.
Almost a year after Kirkwood flooding: Meteorologist: Deadly June 18/19 Bloomington storms were a once-in-a-century event
The Envision Ellettsville Vision Plan, which was presented to the community last week, maps out the community's potential residential and commercial growth. Revitalizing downtown, one of the target areas for improvement, is dependent on controlling the often unexpected and burdensome flooding issues.
"Flooding is a primary challenge for downtown business owners but not because of the physical damage that it could do but because flood insurance is so expensive," the plan reads. "Most small businesses can’t afford it, therefore they can’t locate downtown."
What's Envision Ellettsville? More housing, retail, independence part of Ellettsville's vision plan
Why does Ellettsville flood and what can be done about it?
Jack's Defeat Creek runs through a large part of Ellettsville, including its lowest point: downtown. Since most of the land surrounding the town center slopes down, water drains into the area, making flooding worse. The most flooding typically is on Vine Street between Park and Sale streets.
In the past, Mike Farmer, Ellettsville town manager and utilities operation manager, said the town would go years without intense floods. However, he estimated it has gotten worse and has occurred more often within the last decade. It's not a gentle rain anymore, he said, and the town recently received 2 inches in about 20 minutes. He and other residents have to pay attention every time it rains in case a flood develops.
"It's a known fact that it'll flood," he said. "The joke around here is we have 100-year rains about every three or four months."
Now that the town has American Rescue Plan Act money and a plan for the future, officials hope to fix this persistent problem through four phases.
A flood mitigation plan developed by the Indianapolis firm, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, would mitigate flooding seen downtown by about a foot, Farmer said.
This includes constructing wetlands and strategically manipulating the existing waterways through banking. Adding this new infrastructure will create a larger reservoir area, so the water has more room to pool before it breaches and overflows. Some sloping will also be included behind affected homes.
In addition to flood mitigation, the plan also will attempt to beautify the area through greenery, a park and boardwalks, all of which is aimed to make downtown a gathering place residents and visitors will gravitate toward, Farmer said.
After the initial phase is complete, the town will look to place box culverts on the county-owned McNeely Street Bridge.
The engineering firm is working to get permits for the project, Farmer said, and then the town will bid the job out. He hopes to break ground in late fall.
While this will not completely solve an unsolvable problem, Farmer said it would substantially reduce flooding in the area. He said work will continue on this infrastructure decades from now, but new funding and direction provides a great opportunity to make a significant impact in the near future.
"This is the first time, I believe, that we've put a serious look at trying to mitigate the problem," Farmer said. "It coincides with our growth, and it opens up some opportunities for development that might have been inhibited because of the flooding."
Residents hopeful mitigation will succeed
This plan, if executed as written, could make Ellettsville Fire Chief Mike Cornman and his department's lives much easier.
Cornman, a lifelong resident, said the town is on the right track to address the flooding problem. His department has dealt with a number of flood rescues and emergencies over the years, but that experience made them more capable and better at responding, he said.
"We expect anything," he said. "It's always challenging, but we have a decent handle on it."
Many times, Cornman said, people will drive on flooded streets or medical emergencies will occur, making it harder for that person to get help. Sometimes, he said, it's just that people get stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time.
As for advice for those who could be affected by a flood, Cornman said residents need to be weather aware and pay attention to warnings. He said people shouldn't drive into rushing or still water, even if others are doing it.
Not all flooding in Ellettsville is downtown though. Cornman said there are dips in the land or pockets with poor drainage that are known to fill with water.
On the lake: Algal blooms threaten Bloomington's drinking water. Can you do something about it?
Resident Becky Kehrberg lives near one of those areas where water pools. What is normally a greenspace will begin to fill with water and could be considered a temporary pond. A drain was installed, but she said the problem persists. She said she and others are worried it presents a risk, specifically for children.
When it's raining and she drives downtown, Kehrberg tries to avoid the right lane since it can pool water. She has seen flooded streets filled with debris and water collecting in the area around the Old Town Hall.
She isn't optimistic a solution exists. Current plans sound like they could make a difference, she said, but she doesn't see how it's possible.
Even though he's moving and likely won't see the benefits of flood mitigation efforts, Kortea said he hopes the town finds a way to alleviate the flooding problem, so residents can stop worrying about it.
"The best way you get to know your neighbors is during an emergency as they're helping each other out," he said. "It sucks we had to meet that way, but there's a lot of good people there that it would help them out a lot."

A second man is in custody and charged with attempted murder in a November 2021 shooting at Bismarck’s Keelboat Park that police say was part of an internal gang conflict.
Jonathan Sanchez, 19, of Williston, was arrested in Oklahoma. He was booked into Burleigh Morton Detention Center on Wednesday night after Burleigh County sheriff's deputies brought him back to North Dakota. Authorities had issued an arrest warrant for him in December.
Sanchez also is charged with terrorizing and reckless endangerment, court records show. Another man, Deanthony Claiborne, 19, of Bismarck, is scheduled for trial Aug. 9-11 on the same three charges.
Bismarck Police Detective Jacob Bratsch testified at Claiborne’s preliminary hearing in February that the man who was allegedly fired upon told police he knew Claiborne because the two were members of a gang. Witnesses corroborated the man’s account of a car pulling up next to his, and three people getting out and firing multiple shots at the vehicle.

The shooting was retaliation because the man wanted to get out of the gang and had recently fought with another gang member, the detective testified. Police did not name the man, who was not hurt. The man told police he could not identify the third person who got out of the car.
Sanchez was in custody pending payment of $500,000 cash bail. No attorney is listed for him in court records.

VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. — An elementary school student in Valley Springs has been banned from campus for the remainder of the school year after allegedly being found with a list of names of people to harm, Calaveras Unified School District Superintendent Mark Campbell said in a statement to ABC10.
On Wednesday, the principal at Valley Spring Elementary School in Calaveras County received information that a student had a list of names of other students and a written indication of a potential threat to harm them, school district officials say. According to the school district, the principal reported the information to law enforcement which investigated the allegations and obtained the list in question.
In his statement, Campbell said the student was being dealt with by law enforcement and school administration, adding that he or she will not be returning to campus for the remainder of the school year.
"At no time was there any indication any students were immediately at-risk for any viable threat to their health or safety," the statement reads. "We appreciate the quick and collaborative work done by the VSE (Valley Springs Elementary) Principal and by local law enforcement to bring closure to this issue and ensure that there was no further escalation of this issue that might have posed a threat to student safety."
The incident at the Valley Springs elementary school comes during an unnerving week for families and students in Northern California and throughout the country.
On Wednesday, officials in Woodland said there was no risk to students at Gibson Elementary School after a threat was posted on social media, aimed at the school. Another threat posted to social media Wednesday, later deemed not credible by police, was aimed at Elk Grove's Fortune Charter School.
On Tuesday, officials with the Sacramento City Unified School District said that a gun and a loaded magazine were found in the desk of a second-grade student. Also Tuesday, a student who had previously brought a gun to Roseville's West Park High School was booked into juvenile hall after police said they found him with a list of students he wanted to harm.
The incidents come in light of Tuesday's massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas which left 19 students and two adults dead.

A computer monitor square that lights green on the edges when he speaks has become Steven Zylstra’s de facto office.
Zylstra is one of a sizable number of Arizonans who have yet to go back to the office two years after the start of the pandemic, opting instead to meet all his clients, co-workers and other professional connections in the digital space.
The latest Census Household Pulse Survey found that slightly more than 60% of Americans were working on-site in the first week of this month, with the rest either working from home or not working at all.
In Arizona, the number was even lower, with just 58.1% of people zooming back to the office, as opposed to Zooming to the office. The rate for the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler region was virtually the same, at 58.2%.
“Some CEOs want their people back right in the office,” said Zylstra, the president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council. “I don’t think that’s going to bode very well for those CEOs in the long run. Because there’s, you know, too many advantages for us to work from home.”
People are also reading…
Only eight states and the District of Columbia had a lower percentage of on-site workers than Arizona. Participation rates ranged from a high of 70.7% of onsite workers in Utah to a low of 51.6% in Mississippi.
Experts attribute Arizona’s popularity among the sweatpants set to the early days of the pandemic, when relative affordability and less-competitive real estate markets attracted workers to the state.
They also say the types of jobs available in a state also affect the ability to telework for employees. And Arizona has recently experienced a steady growth in the tech industry, where remote working was ubiquitous even before the pandemic.
“More tech supports more remote work,” said Dennis Hoffman, an economics professor at Arizona State University. “But really, the driver is quality of life and great internet connectivity.”
Last year, the number of tech jobs in Arizona increased by 3.09%, according to a Arizona Technology Council report, which said there are currently more than 207,000 tech jobs in the state. The Phoenix-area alone is home to 795 software companies and 275 new startups, according to Gregslist, a directory of tech firms and jobs.
Travis Laird, vice president for business consulting firm Robert Half, has seen the demand for remote work rise in Arizona. And in the current state of candidate-friendly job markets, Laird said, companies need to offer perks, like work-from-home, for new hires or to keep the people they already have.
“We hear from candidates all the time that, ‘If my employer changes my work setup – which is fully remote – they want me to be hybrid or they want me to work back on site full time, I will immediately consider a job change,'” Laird said.
Data from Robert Half show roughly 50% of employees want to continue remote working or experiment with a hybrid work environment.
However, following two years of disruption to the traditional work model, managers are now craving the bygone days. According to Robert Half, 73% of employers in the Phoenix-metro area want and expect workers to return to the office shortly. That number was about 60% a year ago.
“What we went through in 2020 was one of the biggest shifts in how people work,” Laird said. “And I think those that are more successful on the other side of this will continue to embrace that mentality of factoring in that employees are now going to view how they work or where they work as a critical component.”
But Hoffman said that’s going to be a tough sell to workers who were attracted to the state by the possibility of working without going to an office.
“Remote work has resulted in an acceleration of domestic in-migration to Arizona,” Hoffman said. “People can now, in many cases, live where they want and remote work. No need to be in large cities, commuting, etc.”
Zylstra said he thinks remote work “is here to stay,” as Arizona continues to attract companies and competition for workers remains high.
“Now people can live in Prescott or Flagstaff or anywhere and live in an environment that’s conducive to their desires and work from those remote areas,” he said. “So it creates an advantage for building a workforce for Arizona.”

SEGUIN, Texas — Seguin Police said a student is facing charges after investigators say he made threats to bring a weapon to school Wednesday.
Police say a teacher reported a student, later identified as 19-year-old Joel Plascencia, made a comment that he was "going to bring an AK-47 to the school."
The student reportedly made the same comment about bringing a gun to school the next day several times, investigators said. Police said he was warned by staff that the comments were not humorous, but he continued to make them.
Seguin High School administrators told officers that Plascencia was banned from all campuses for the remainder of the school year.
Seguin Police say they obtained a warrant for one count of Terroristic Threat. He was taken into custody and charged.
Seguin Police Department encourages citizens to report any suspicious activity, alarming social media postings, or concerning comments at 830-379-2123.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — A Tennessee family just doubled in size after a pretty eventful Mother’s Day weekend.
Meredith “Bo” and Clay McCord had spent the past four years trying to have a child. During that time, they suffered immense heartbreak with three separate miscarriages and multiple attempts of in-vitro fertilization in their efforts to become parents.
That’s where Birmingham residents Katie and Thomas Morse come in. Thomas Morse had been friends with Bo McCord when the two were students at Samford University. The couples had remained friends even with the McCords living in another state.
Katie had been a surrogate for two other families in the past, it was during the second surrogacy that Bo reached out to her about possibly being their surrogate as well. Katie says she knew she was game for ir because the families had become so close.
But shortly after Katie became pregnant with the McCords’ child, Bo herself then became pregnant.
“With this surrogacy as with my second, the mom got pregnant too! Something about the stress being
lifted, I guess,” Katie said.
Bo was due two weeks after Katie was set to give birth, but doctors told the McCords that they would do a C-section at 37 weeks. It became a race to see who would deliver first and how traveling would work out as the families were still a state apart.
Then on May 7, Katie’s contractions began and the McCords quickly hopped in the car to come to Birmingham. Katie was admitted to Brookwood Women’s Center and a day later, on Mother’s Day, Bo McCord became a mom. Both families welcomed James Wakefield McCord into the world.
After recovering in the hospital, the McCords went back up to Tennessee where on May 11, Mary Clark McCord was born.
“We were all crying in the delivery room because it was such a special moment and then I later delivered
our little girl,” Bo said. “Thinking about our journey, we just want to share encouragement to other
couples who need a reminder to continue to trust God and put all your faith in Him. We are living proof
of His goodness!”

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — For 75 years, West Virginia International Yeager Airport (CRW) has been serving Mountain State travelers. As part of the anniversary celebration, CRW will do a travel giveaway in which a family of four can win a round-trip to Orlando International Airport.
Groundbreaking for CRW, then Kanawha Airport, was held on October 18, 1944. On October 1, 1947, the first flight landed at CRW. Exactly three months later, flights started regularly operating at CRW.
Since then, CRW has become the Mountain State’s largest airport and continues growing. An international Customs facility and Marshall University’s Bill Noe Flight School were added to airport grounds.
“This year, and for the next 75 years, we are putting our community, our passengers, and connectivity first,” said Nick Keller, Airport Director and CEO.
CRW started the 75th-anniversary celebration by surprising travelers with cookies and swag. The airport has planned several more events, including historic aircraft tours and an open house for the Bill Noe Flight School. More details are below.
- May 28-29 (Memorial Day Weekend): B-17 Yankee Lady tour
- June 18-19: C-47 Hairless Joe tour
- July 2-4: DC-3 Flagship Detroit tour
- July 2: Bill Noe Flight School open house
- August 13-14: B-25 Rosie’s Ripley tour
- October 25-30: CAF Red Tail Exhibit
In addition, airport visitors can stop by the viewing area off Eagle Mountain Road to see aircraft taking off and landing.
More announcements and events will be made throughout the year and posted to CRW’s News and Information page.

The Lincoln Airport is finally getting its long-desired flight to Texas.
The Airport Authority on Thursday approved a contract with United Airlines, which plans to start new daily service to Houston around Sept. 1.
Airport Executive Director David Haring said United still has to sign off on the deal, something he expects to happen next week.
Haring said details are still being worked out, but the once-a-day flights, which will be on 50-seat regional jets, will likely depart Lincoln early in the morning, around 6:30 a.m., and return around 8:30 p.m.
"That's an ideal schedule for us as a business market," Haring said.
Airport Authority Chairman Zachary Mora James called the new service "a shot in the arm" for the airport, which lost Delta Air Lines earlier this year and is in the midst of a $55 million terminal renovation and expansion project.
"This is a huge deal for us," Mora James said.

Airport officials have been trying for several years to entice an airline to start service to the Lone Star State.
In 2018, the airport received a $750,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration aimed at getting American Airlines to start service to Dallas.
But the airline never showed much interest, and last year, the airport convinced the FAA to amend the grant to allow Lincoln to pursue flights to any hub airport in Texas.
That opened the door for United, which already serves the airport with flights to Chicago and Denver, to consider starting Houston service.
Haring said United will utilize the grant, which provides a revenue guarantee to make up any losses it incurs in starting up the flight. The airport also will provide other perks, such as free marketing and waiving gate and landing fees for the first year of the service.
Business or leisure? Lincoln Airport will likely need to shift focus to attract airlines, passengers
United will not, however, be receiving any of the $3 million in stimulus funds the city and county have earmarked to help the airport attract air service.
Another factor that Haring said played a big role in United agreeing to start the service is the location of a CommutAir maintenance base at the airport.
CommutAir, which is a regional airline that flies for United, opened the four-bay maintenance hangar last year to service the company's 50-seat regional jets.
"I don't believe (the Houston flight) would be possible without that maintenance base being here," Haring said.
In addition to Denver, Houston is one of CommutAir's main base of operations.
Charlie Denton, the airline's Lincoln base manager, said in a statement that Lincoln "has quickly become a strategic link in support of our growing route network."
Haring said the announcement of the Houston flight is the first tangible evidence the airport has been able to show the public that it is recovering from the pandemic.
Though passenger traffic at the airport remains about 50% below where it was in 2019, it continues to grow from the depths of the downturn in 2020 and early 2021. Through April, the airport had seen more than 47,000 passengers, which was double the number it had in the first four months of last year.
Haring said the airport continues to work to bring more air service to Lincoln, and he hopes the Houston flight won't be the only one.
"I'm hopeful that this service is the first of several opportunities to come to fruition in the near future," he said.

TIFTON — Donna Webb, assistant vice president for student affairs, recently received the additional appointment of dean of students at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
Webb joined the ABAC administration as director of enrollment services in 2008. She was appointed to a new position as assistant vice president for student affairs in 2020. Now with the retirement of long-time Dean of Students Bernice Hughes, Webb has taken on added duties.
“Throughout my career, I have always been focused on students,” Webb said. “In these two roles in Student Affairs, I will be striving each and every day to make certain our students connect with the larger ABAC community and find meaningful ways to be involved and give back.
“I have especially enjoyed working closely with the Student Government Association this year, and I want to continue to play a role in strengthening this important student organization, which serves as the voice of our students on campus.”
ABAC SGA President Jaci Martin selected Webb for the prestigious President’s Award at the recent student leadership event.
“I partnered with SGA Faculty Advisor Diantha Ellis in working with the SGA this year, and I was honored to receive that recognition,” Webb said. “Jaci was a wonderful leader, and it was a pleasure to support her as she worked to make ABAC better for all of our students.”
Webb’s duties include providing oversight and leadership for all student affairs activities, including recreational sports, residence life, and student leadership programs. She is also a point of contact for providing resources for mental health issues on campus.
“We want our students to be at their best mentally, physically and emotionally,” Webb said. “Dealing with mental health issues is a real need on any campus.”
A Donalsonville native, Webb received her bachelor’s degree in communication from Valdosta State University and her master’s degree in public administration from Georgia College and State University.
Webb began her career in higher education at Middle Georgia College in 1993 as an admissions counselor before becoming assistant director of admissions. She moved from Cochran to Atlanta in 1997 to become the assistant director of undergraduate admissions at Georgia Tech.
In 2003, Webb took on the role of coordinator of academic programs at the Tifton campus of the University of Georgia. In 2006, Webb became the admissions director at the University of South Carolina Beaufort prior to moving back to Tifton in 2008 to work for ABAC.

THOMASVILLE -- Thomasville has a history of joining forces to help others during times of need. Through a continued partnership with the Salvation Army, city of Thomasville Utilities would like to remind everyone about participating in Project SHARE.
Utilities customers have the opportunity to add a charitable donation to their monthly utility bill. Customers can contribute $1, $2, $5, or more per month, and the donation will be billed monthly on a participating customer’s utility bill. Collected funds will be provided to the Salvation Army to help those in our community that need basic necessities such as aid in paying for utilities, housing and prescription medications.
“The city of Thomasville is very proud to partner with the Salvation Army through Project SHARE,” Assistant City Manager Sheryl Sealy said. “This program provides our community with resources to assist with basic necessities during unforeseen circumstances and serves as the perfect example of neighbors helping neighbors.”
Customers who wish to contribute to the fund can sign up by calling the city of Thomasville’s Customer Care team at (229) 227-7001. Customers can also complete a Project SHARE contribution form online at Thomasville.org/ProjectShare.
“Our highest contributions to date have been in 2020 and 2021, which saw us collect over $24,000 to assist our community, many of whom were directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Sealy said. “This is a perfect example of our community coming together to help others in need.”
Since 2010, city of Thomasville Utilities has collected more than $108,000 through Project SHARE.
Project SHARE began in 1985 as a statewide partnership between the Salvation Army and power companies in Georgia to provide emergency needs such as shelter, medical and utility payments. Money collected stays in the county from which it originates, so the donations go to work in the local community.
For more information about Project SHARE, contact the Salvation Army at (229) 226-3772.

A Philadelphia franchise ranks among the top 25 most innovative sports teams in the world, according to an annual list released Wednesday by Boston fan intelligence and market research firm Sports Innovation Lab, the Philadelphia Business Journal reports.
The 76ers rank fifth, the highest placement for a pro team in the United States. The NBA team climbed seven spots from No. 12 last year.
Soccer powerhouse FC Barcelona took the top spot in this year's ranking, a list based on Sports Innovation Lab's proprietary methodology to score and rank properties based on their ability to win the future fan — which it calls the "the fluid fan."
FC Barcelona was recognized for its "continued investment into evolving fan-experience domains." The four teams ahead of the Sixers are all soccer clubs.
Teams were scored based on a proprietary algorithm that covered three categories:

NORMAL — Six Normal police officers were recognized Thursday morning for their dedication to public safety under difficult circumstances.
“We owe those individuals and all of you that put on that uniform a great debt and appreciation of what you do and the risk that you go through every day,” said state Rep. Dan Brady, R-Bloomington, speaking to officers and their loved ones at the Normal Police Department.
Five of the six officers were recognized for their role in ending the active shooter incident in north Normal last summer.
The McLean County State’s Attorney's Office has stated the police were justified when officers fatally shot the armed suspect, 66-year-old Ronald J. Reiner, on Aug. 30. The honored officers included those who were first on the scene at the Landing Estates Mobile Home Park where two women were killed and three men were injured.
Sgt. Jonathan McCauley and Officer Kyley Hepler received the town’s meritorious award “for bravery and actions in helping injured victims” the day of the shooting.
Officers Cory Phillips, Evan Easter and Shane Bachman received the Combat Cross medal for their role in pursuing and confronting the armed suspect.
Earlier this year, Phillips was also recognized by the town as the 2021 Officer of the Year. Then-Chief Rick Bleichner said Phillips was “quick to render aid to victims there and he also performed valiantly in the face of danger and critical risk.”
“This situation, the shooting that occurred in the Landings, because of training (and) professionalism, was something that did not become worse,” Brady said Thursday. “They protected the entire community. The officers did that.”
Officer Melanie Crays also received the meritorious award, recognized for her work during a separate incident in which she talked a man out of taking his own life “and for going above and beyond the duty in an act of bravery and selflessness.”
Brady said he had hoped to recognize the officers in Springfield, but when the scheduling didn’t work out, he still wanted the chance to show his appreciation for their work back in Normal.
“The state of Illinois needs to let officers know across the state that we appreciate the men and women in law enforcement,” he said. “Those are the types of situations that we need to highlight. We need to let the community know that these officers stepped up, they risked their lives to protect others.”
Normal Mayor Chris Koos said the department has a long tradition of professionalism, service and duty.
“You really stand out in that regard, and the five of you from what you have experienced that day definitely showed that professionalism, that dedication to duty, dedication to public safety, so thank you for that,” he said. “I know this is a very, very tough time to be a police officer in this country, and you doing your duty steadfastly as you did is greatly appreciated by the community.”
Normal Police Chief Steve Petrilli said he was proud of his department and glad to have an opportunity to bring the department together to recognize the officers’ courage in the line of duty in these two different situations.
“As a community, as a department, I think that we have begun the healing process and this is part of that,” he said of the Landing Estates shooting. “The after-action report, if you will, looking at what went well, what didn’t go well. It allows us to debrief and make some tweaks. … At the end of the day, the awards and things that happen, it’s also a source of healing, I think, for not only the community, but the victims in this incident and the officers themselves. (Nearly) a year out, we’re starting to heal.”

INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly and Company plans to invest $2.1 billion in two new Indiana manufacturing sites, a move that's expected to create hundreds of new jobs in the Hoosier state, the company announced Wednesday.
The new facilities will expand the Indianapolis-based company's manufacturing network for active ingredients and new therapeutic drugs, including those used to treat diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's and cancer, Lily officials said during a news conference at the governor's residence.
"We're fortunate to have had a very successful run lately in our laboratories in our pipeline... we have tremendous growth at Lilly, but we have even more promise ahead," said David Ricks, Lilly's chair and CEO, emphasizing that the company has called Indiana home for 146 years. "There's a lot of work to do. But I think it exemplifies what's special about Indiana, which is people come together to solve tough problems.
The LEAP Lebanon Innovation and Research District in Boone County, located 30 miles northwest of Indianapolis, was selected for its "strategic proximity" to downtown Indianapolis, Purdue University in West Lafayette, and the Interstate 65 corridor, Ricks continued.

Ricks did not provide a timeline for construction and said it could be three of four years before the facilities begin producing medicine for patients. He said groundbreaking in Boone County is expected "much sooner," however.
The project depends on zoning and annexation approvals by local officials. The Indiana Economic Development Corp. said it is working with Lilly to finalize a performance-based incentive package, which Indiana Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers said could happen within the next 30 days.
The proposed project is expected to create up to 500 new Lilly roles with an additional four indirect jobs for every Lilly position created, Ricks said. An estimated 1,500 construction jobs will additionally be required while the facilities are being built.
Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb commended Lilly on the announcement, noting that the company "has been an anchor in Indiana's economy for generations." He said the announcement "invest in our home state" is a likely sign that the company will continue to stay in Indiana long-term.
"I am incredibly proud Lilly continues to make exciting investments in Indiana that will better the lives and opportunities of Hoosiers for decades to come," Holcomb said. "And in turn, the very research and pharmaceutical manufacturing spearheaded here in our state will improve lives worldwide."

CROWN POINT — A Gary man was sentenced Tuesday to 75 years in prison for murdering a man who came to pick up his child's mother last fall after she'd been on an all-night drug bender with the defendant.
Antonio West, 54, refused to leave his jail cell and was sentenced in absentia for fatally shooting 39-year-old Shawn Rhyan Pewitt on Sept. 8 in the 2500 block of Connecticut Street in Gary, attorneys said.
Senior Judge Michael Bergerson sentenced West to 60 years for Pewitt's murder and 15 years for a firearm enhancement. The terms must run consecutively.
A Lake Criminal Court jury convicted West in April after a weeklong trial.
According to trial testimony, West pulled a gun from his pocket about 4 p.m. Sept. 8 and fatally shot Pewitt after Pewitt arrived at West's basement apartment to pick up the woman.
The woman had been smoking crack cocaine with Pewitt and a Lowell man at a different Gary residence the night before, but she left them to go smoke crack with West.
After she smoked crack all night, West demanded payment, Lake County Deputy Prosecutor Jacob Brandewie said during the trial.
Brandewie tried the case with Deputy Prosecutor Arturo Balcazar.
West drove the woman to Lowell twice Sept. 8, first to pick up a $400 check and a second time after a bank refused to cash the check.
"He wasn't going to let (the woman) go until she paid that money," Brandewie said.
One of West's neighbors testified he didn't hear a gunshot, but he saw West run out of his apartment and heard West yell, "I just shot someone. Call 911!"
The man walked over to a stairway leading down to West's apartment and saw the woman cradling Pewitt, who appeared to have a gunshot wound. West fled before police arrived.
West was represented by attorneys Kerry Connor and Sonya Scott-Dix.

HOBART — Investigators have released surveillance images of two suspects after a man was shot while intervening in a Hobart theft, police said.
At 4:44 a.m. Monday officers were dispatched to a report of a man who was shot at Tobacco Town at 3901 West 37th Ave., according to the Hobart Police Department.
Officers arrived to find a 40-year-old Hobart man who was shot in his ankle. Police said the victim was a bystander who tried to intervene when two males stole from the store.
The man said he was shot after following the suspects out of the store and confronting them. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment for an injury that was not life-threatening.
Authorities said the males are teens or possibly young adults. One of the suspects was wearing a black hooded long sleeve top and jeans. police said.
The other suspect was wearing a light gray hooded long sleeve top and black pants, police said. Surveillance images from the store show the males carrying matching cross-shoulder black bags.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Detective Cpl. Brandon Kissee at 219-942-4588 or bkissee@cityofhobart.org .

ST. JOHN — St. John Police Chief Steven Flores is calling on his peers in law enforcement across the Region to set aside other goals in favor of better addressing the issue of mental health, which he feels is playing a key role in mass shootings such as Tuesday's incident that left 21 dead at a Texas elementary school.
"I, quite frankly, am very tired of seeing these same tragic and possibly preventable stories making the news over and over again and I am sure all of you feel the same, but we get nothing but political lip service in the aftermath," Flores said in an email he sent to area police chiefs, sheriffs and state and federal elected officials.
"With that being said, the mental health crisis in this country is out of control," he said. "I feel as law enforcement leaders, we are obligated and need to continue to do what we can to address it."
Flores said that "red flags" are typically discovered in the wake of mass shootings that if noticed ahead of time, might have prevented the violence.
People are also reading…
"I feel we need to fight for additional funding that will assist us with combating the mental health crisis and funding for additional technological resources that specifically seek out these perpetrators before they strike."
Democrats in Washington are responding to the Texas school massacre by reviving efforts for background-checks for gun buyers, while acknowledging Congress' rejection of such efforts in the past to curb the national epidemic of gun violence.
"If the slaughter of schoolchildren can't convince Republicans to buck the NRA (National Rifle Association), what can we do?" Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday.
Authorities say the 18-year-old gunman in Tuesday's Texas school shooting had no known criminal or mental health history.
In deciding to release his email publicly, Flores said, "Our residents here in Northwest Indiana and across the entire State of Indiana need to know that their law enforcement leaders are not taking this lightly. We need to be upfront by letting them know that we are doing everything we possibly can to prevent another horrific event such as the incident in Ulvade, Texas from happening again."
"I have instructed two of my officers who have the experience and education in mental health to begin to come up with a plan that partners law enforcement and mental health professionals to work together to make meaningful change," he said.

MERRILLVILLE — One person is in stable condition and another is at-large facing multiple felony counts following an assault with a knife Monday at Southlake Methodist Hospital at 8701 Broadway, Merrillville police say.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Diandre Smith, who is from Glenwood, Illinois, according to police and court records.
He faces felony counts of aggravated battery when the assault poses a substantial risk of death, battery by means of a deadly weapon and battery resulting in serious bodily injury, court records show.
Police said they arrived at the hospital to find a male victim with multiple wounds. The suspect, identified as Smith, had fled the scene by the time police arrived.
The victim was treated for his wounds and was in stable condition Thursday morning, according to police.
No one was immediately available Thursday at the hospital for comment.
A $50,000 bond has been set in the case, according to court records.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Merrillville Police Detective Alexander Van Rite at 219-769-3531, extension 349 or at avanrite@merrillville.in.gov .

VALPARAISO —The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana hosted an alumni event recently for the closing of its Valparaiso building, which served the youth of Porter County in the Old Gardner School for more than 50 years.
The event, hosted by the Valpo Capital Campaign Community Outreach Committee, saw roughly 150 alumni and friends tour the second and third floors of the building. On display were old art projects and woodworks, photos from the past, and various other types of memorabilia.
A small program was held in the middle of the event, which saw the introduction of the organization’s highest award.
“It is only fitting that as we close this Club building forever, we recognize and honor the one person most responsible for its history and legacy,” said President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana, Ryan Smiley.
"Please join me in congratulating the first recipient of the Chuck Leer Lifetime Achievement Award to Chuck Leer."

Future recipients of the Chuck Leer Lifetime Achievement Award will have large shoes to fill, as the award requires at least 30 years of extraordinary influence to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana.
Leer, whose long career saw 40 years of service, is best known for his work within the Porter County Clubs, for which he was able to provide what are described as "massive" capital improvements.
He was also the first to allow girls to attend the Clubs, even before the national organization approved females as members.
While gathered alumni reflected on their memories, the program took a look at the future.
Smiley invited members of the audience to take a virtual tour of the new Valparaiso Boys & Girls Club, located at 708 Evans Ave in Valparaiso.
The club offers modern equipment like a STEM lab, rock wall, full music recording studio, a teaching kitchen, and two full-sized gymnasiums.
Rob Thorgren, of Thorgren Tool & Molding, and Rick Urschel, of Urschel Laboratories, served as co-chairs for the Valpo Capital Campaign Community Outreach Committee.

SEATTLE — Alan White, the longtime drummer for progressive rock pioneers Yes who also played on projects with John Lennon and George Harrison, has died. He was 72.
White joined Yes in 1972, replacing original drummer Bill Bruford. In a band noted for frequent lineup changes, White was a constant and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes in 2017.
Though he didn’t play on “Close to the Edge,” he performed on every subsequent Yes studio album over nearly five decades, including the band’s latest release, “The Quest,” which came out last year.
White stayed with the band through its many iterations. A trailblaizing act in the progressive rock scene in England that grew in popularly in the early 1970s alongside bands like Genesis, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull, Yes was especially know for its intricate arrangements and the musical skill of its individual members.
When progressive rock fell out of fashion in the late 1970s many of the bands associated with the genre struggled.
Following another lineup change, Yes, with White still behind the drum kit, reinvented itself in the 1980s as a harder edged band that appealed to younger listeners more attuned to heavy metal and the visual cues of music videos. In 1983 Yes released the smash hit album “90125.”
A longtime Seattle-area resident, White was born in Pelton, County Durham, England, in 1949. His family said he began piano lessons at age 6 and playing the drums when he was 12.
White played with bands in England throughout the 1960s. In 1969, he was asked by John Lennon to join his Plastic Ono Band. In an interview with The Seattle Times in 2021, White said he thought the call from the famous Beatle was a prank.
“A voice announced, ‘Hello, this is John Lennon,’” White said. “I thought it was a mate pulling my leg, put the receiver down, and went back to the kitchen.”
White played a 1969 concert in Toronto with Lennon’s band, which also included guitarist Eric Clapton. White also played with another Beatle, contributing drums to George Harrison’s 1970 solo album “All Things Must Pass.”
In the statement announcing his death, his family wrote: “Alan was many things to many people: a certified rock star to fans around the world; band mate to a select few, and gentleman and friend to all who met him.”

Reactions to the death of “Goodfellas” star Ray Liotta:
“I was very saddened to learn of Ray’s passing. He is way too way young to have left us.” — Robert De Niro, in a statement.
“I can’t believe Ray Liotta has passed away. He was such a lovely, talented and hilarious person. Working with him was one of the great joys of my career and we made some of my favorite scenes I ever got to be in. A true legend of immense skill and grace.” — Seth Rogen, who worked with Liotta on 2009’s “Observe and Report,” via Twitter.
“Ray Liotta has died. What a gentle human. His work as an actor showed his complexity as a human. A beautiful artist. We made the lovely film, Dominic and Eugene in 1986. Sad news.” — Jamie Lee Curtis on Instagram.
“I feel so lucky to have squared off against this legend in one of his final roles. The scenes we did together were among the all time highlights of my acting career. He was dangerous, unpredictable, hilarious, and generous with his praise for other actors. Too soon.” — Actor Alessandro Nivola, star of “The Many Saints of Newark,” one of Liotta’s final films.
“This is a massive, unexpected shock. I have been an admirer of Ray’s work since I saw him in ‘Something Wild,’ a movie he wrenched by the tail. I was so glad he worked on ‘The Many Saints of Newark’... Ray was also a very warm and humorous person. A really superior actor. We all felt we lucked out having him on that movie.” — “Many Saints of Newark” director and “Sopranos” creator David Chase, in a statement.
“Ray Liotta. Man. Just met dude for the first time last year. GREAT actor. Nice to have had a chance to say that to him.” —Actor Jeffrey Wright, via Twitter.

A section of Route 611 in Monroe County closed after a slope and retaining wall washed out in heavy rain has reopened, PennDOT said Thursday.
Repairs to the 4.5 mile stretch between Delaware Water Gap in Monroe County and the borough of Portland in Northampton County had been going on since the April 7 washout.
The repairs involved four sections of the road. Two were shored up with fill material, and the others had concrete slabs constructed to provide support of the road.
During repairs, traffic was detoured onto routes 512, 22, 209 and Business 209, as well as Interstate 80.
The opening comes ahead of predictions that repairs could take until the end of spring — good news for business owners in the area, who held a news conference a week after the washout urging repairs be expedited so summer tourism wouldn’t be affected.

The intersection of farming and technology converged Thursday on land once reserved for making steel.
Innovative agri-business Bowery Farming officially unveiled its first indoor commercial farm in Pennsylvania during a ceremony filled with speeches, thank yous and praise at the new facility in south Bethlehem, near Interstate 78.
State, federal and local officials heralded Bowery’s 156-000-square-foot building that sits on nearly nine acres on Feather Way in Lehigh Valley Industrial Park VII. Officials with the New York company say it is the largest vertical farming company in the U.S., and that the new farm is the largest, most technologically advanced and sustainable farm in Pennsylvania.
[ Vertical farm bringing up to 70 jobs slated to open on former Bethlehem Steel land ]
It looks like a warehouse on the outside. Inside, according to Bowery, the site grows leafy greens such as varieties of lettuce using its proprietary software, sensors, robotics and more. Its produce consumes a fraction of water, and the farming operation creates less waste than traditional agriculture.
“I am glad to be at a warehouse I can actually stand in front of and be really happy about it,” Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure told CEO Irving Fain and about 100 people who attended the ceremony. McClure is among other officials who to decry warehouses planned for previously undeveloped land, but he said Bowery’s warehouse/farm, on a brownfield site that was part of major Bethlehem Steel operations, helps to preserve open space while fulfilling the county’s obligation of growing jobs and development.
“This project, this company, is emblematic of the coming together of those two concepts,” McClure said of Bowery.
Vertical farming is the practice of growing plants in vertically stacked layers or inclined surfaces in which crops are grown indoors, using artificial light and a fraction of the water that traditional farming requires.
Privately owned Bowery plans to create 70 full-time jobs in Bethlehem. Fain declined to say what those jobs pay; he said during remarks that “many” workers — Bowery calls them “farmers” — are from the Valley, but he wasn’t more specific. He also declined to provide average wages for the workers.
Fain said Bowery was drawn to the Lehigh Valley in part for its strategic location, which will enable it to deliver locally produced, pesticide-free food to an estimated 50 million people in the Northeast. While it sells to large supermarket chains, the company tries to build community partners, he said.
Among community leaders who attended, Maison Allen, development director of Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania, said Bowery officials reached out to the agency to develop the partnership. Bowery, which began ramping up production about two months ago, plans to provide Second Harvest, which is in East Allen Township, with “quite a few pallets” of lettuce for pickup Friday, Allen said. Bowery officials said they can produce lettuce and other greens every 30 days.
After remarks by several other officials, including Fain, Gov. Tom Wolf and Bethlehem Mayor J. William Reynolds, visitors were able to tour the facility.
Wolf said agriculture is Pennsylvania’s top industry, contributing $132.5 billion to the economy and nearly 600,000 jobs. But Bowery’s farm, he said, is taking the industry to a new level, using a brownfield site to potentially helping to feed 50 million people per year supports more than 590,000 jobs.
First Call
Wolf also said while the state is providing more than $450,000 in grants and tax credits, Bowery has pledged to invest $32 million.
“This is a big thing for Pennsylvania,” the governor said. “It’s a big deal for Bethlehem’s economic revitalization.”
State Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said Bowery isn’t the first indoor farm in Pennsylvania; at least one other farm exists in Snyder County.
But others involved in the specialized businss aren’t of the “scale and sophistication” of Bowery, Redding said. “It’s in a special class.”
Bowery and the state first announced the plan for Bethlehem in December 2020. Area developer J.G. Petrucci Co. constructed the facility, which is off Route 412 and Interstate 78.
“We never could have envisioned an agricultural operation on a brownfield site,” said Kerry Wrobel, LVIP president and CEO. “When we started [LVIP VII] 20 years ago, there was no such thing as an indoor farm.”

What a Florida man's school shooting database can tell us about gun violence on campuses
While gun violence in schools has been an issue since at least the 1970s, it was only within the past few years that information about shootings was compiled in a database.
David Riedman, 37, of Titusville, a graduate of the Naval Postgraduate School and current PhD student at University of Central Florida, created the K-12 School Shooting Database following the Parkland shooting, where users can view information about every incident involving a gun at a school in the United States since 1970.
Developing the database
In 2018, Riedman was involved in the Homeland Security Advanced Thinking Program at the Naval Postgraduate School, which he described as a "think tank around emerging homeland security issues."
While he was there, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people and injured another 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Feb. 14, 2018. His trial is underway in Fort Lauderdale in Broward Circuit Court.
Following that mass shooting, Riedman's goal was to find better strategies for conducting threat assessments and to find out what red flags may have been missed.
He and his colleague, Desmond O’Neill, found there was a lack of data compiled in one place on school shootings. They began the tedious process of collecting data on their own and putting it in a Google spreadsheet for their own research.
They soon realized the value in what they'd created.
"After a couple of months, we realized that we had created a unique resource that didn't exist," Riedman said.
The spreadsheet sparked the idea to make a database, but it wasn't an easy process.
The two spent months extensively searching newspaper archives to collect data on school shootings back to 1970. Their research didn't just encompass mass shootings, but covered any time a gun was fired on school property.
Now, the K-12 Shooting Database is available on the Center for Homeland Defense and Security's website as a tool for information on every school shooting across the country, including the number of fatalities and injuries in a shooting, the age of the shooter, what time a shooting occurred and a brief summary of the shooting.
Data Map - K-12 School Shooting Database
What the data shows
The information on the database has been referenced by numerous studies and groups.
It's been cited by about 60 peer-reviewed publications, the Government Accountability Office, Congressional Research Service and the presidential commission established after the Parkland shooting in its report to Congress on school safety.
Reidman said he's noticed a few specific points as he's spent years immersed in the data.
Planned attacks at schools are not new and have been happening for decades, Riedman said. There have been eight other "significant attacks" against elementary schools other than the Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut in December 2012.
"They've occurred back to the 1970s," he said. "This is not a problem that is new. It's not a problem that relates to the internet or social media or violent video games or violent movies ... it's a much deeper, generational issue."
Mass shootings, which involve at least four fatalities, get a lot of attention. Other serious shootings often do not if there aren't many fatalities, despite the number of injuries suffered during the incident, Riedman said.
An attack similar to the one that occurred Tuesday in Uvalde, Texas — in which an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers —. almost took place several weeks ago in Washington, D.C., Riedman said.
A sniper positioned himself on the sixth floor of an apartment building across from Edmund Burke School with six automatic rifles and 1,000 rounds of ammunition. He fired 230 shots, wounding four people, before taking his own life.
"He was a terrible shot," Riedman said. "But that had the potential to be an incident that had dozens killed."
Riedman said his data shows incidents like the one in Washington, D.C., happen all the time, where serious attacks are "narrowly averted."
Because these attacks are avoided, they don't gain the attention that major shootings do.
"If we could see the types of gun violence that's occurring in schools, kind of week in and week out, there might be more attention and commitment to making meaningful steps to solve this problem," he said.
"If we could see those warning signs, understand those incidents, and kind of galvanize our national attention toward some kind of preventative measures, we wouldn't have to be here again today."
Riedman said his data shows there's systemic gun violence on campuses that has gotten "significantly worse" since the pandemic. It involves disputes among students who are armed without the intent to attack. However, the disputes escalate, and a shooting occurs.
Unlike planned attacks, these shootings were not happening over approximately 50 years of data, Riedman said.
"That type of systemic gun violence is an entirely new challenge that schools really need to deal with," he said.
At this point, it's too early to tell why a spike in systemic gun violence has occurred following the pandemic, Riedman said.
Taking preventative measures
Every time a shooting happens at a school, Riedman manually enters it into the database.
So far, there have been 137 school shootings in 2022. Of those, 135 were non-active shooters, meaning they were isolated fights or disputes.
"It's just tragic that the same thing plays out over and over," Riedman said.
Riedman said he hopes preventative measures can be put in place, such as making sure people in crisis get the help they need and mental health problems don't fester for years untreated.
"It's not somebody that just snaps one day and decides to commit a mass shooting," he said. "Mass shooters are people that have months and years of trauma, violence, depression, suicide, self-harm, and their behavior escalates as they continue to degrade, and then an attack occurs," he said.

Florida officials urge boaters to watch for manatees this Memorial Day weekend as starving sea cows seek seagrass
State wildlife officials are urging boaters to remain alert over this Memorial Day weekend for manatees and heed go-slow boating zones amid signs the sea creatures may be finding enough seagrass to fend off an ongoing famine.
There are still concerns though. One seemingly starving sea cow was rescued Monday on Merritt Island. And officials said already stressed manatees will be searching the shallows for seagrass.
"We don't want to add any extra stress to that situation by not following that regulation," Jon Wallace, joint unified command co-commander with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "We want to keep everyone safe, manatees included."
Feeding in the wild: Florida ready to wrap up manatee feeding efforts, leaving sea cows to fend for themselves
Starved to death: At least 1,100 manatees have died. Finally the pace slows
Biologists say pollution and excess nitrogen and phosphorus from runoff, seepage from septic tank systems, sewage spills, fertilizers and other human sources choked out the manatee's main diet — seagrass — by fueling excess algae growth.
Island outcroppings in Brevard became mass manatee graves, as Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists could not keep up with all the carcasses floating up.
The death toll grew so bad that in April of 2021, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared the die-off an Unusual Mortality Event.
It also prompted the first-of-its kind pilot project to try to stave off further starvation by feeding manatees, which state and federal biologists began doing at the FPL plant in mid December. From the effort's onset, the plan was to feed them through the end of March.
FWC's best efforts aside, death rates, presumably most from starvation, are still unacceptably high. Through May 13, a total of 551 manatees have died this year. Of those, 324 (59%) were found in Brevard County. Roughly a third of the state's manatee population is in Brevard at any given time, biologists say, because of the vast quantity and quality of seagrass habitat within the 72-mile long coastal county.
Last year was worse: 738 manatees had died in Florida by May 13, 2021.
While the death rate at first blush appears like an improvement, the number represents a big chunk from a dwindling population. Last year, the seagrass famine claimed an estimated 10% of Florida's manatee population.
At least 1,101 manatees died last year in Florida, most from starvation, including 358 (a third of them) in Brevard County.
Biologists hope they won't have to give manatees any more handouts but the question remains: Will manatees fed at the FPL power plant find enough seagrass elsewhere to sustain them? Or will they return to the power plant desperate for the hand-fed lettuce that got them through the winter for the first time in their imperiled natural history?
State biologists vowed to keep a close eye on that and to study what worked and didn't work. They also plan to watch the status of seagrass beds in the Indian River Lagoon, especially in Brevard.
"That's one of the data points we'll be looking at this summer," Ron Mezich, FWC's imperiled species management section leader, said Wednesday during an online update about the manatee die off. "What we're hearing is that there's still good coverage of macroalgae. Anything that's using nutrients other than algal blooms is a good thing."
There are some reports of seagrass growing in multiple areas in Brevard, Mezich added. "It is very small, and it is not very dense. We continue to hope that algae blooms do not occur and water quality stays good throughout the growing season," he said.
Wallace urged patience. "Restoring the Indian river Lagoon is going to be a process that's going to take years," he said. "Let's keep our eyes on the prize for Indian River restoration."

Hoping for some drive-on surf fishing this weekend? These State Park entrances are closed
Thinking about driving onto the beach for Memorial Day weekend? Know that many of the Delaware State Park beaches from Cape Henlopen to Delaware Seashore are still recovering from the nor'easter earlier this month.
Multiple beach entrances – both for driving and walking – will be closed at the State Park beaches this weekend, according to the state Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
As of Thursday, the following dune crossings remain closed due to beach erosion:
- Navy crossing at Cape Henlopen State Park
- The northernmost pedestrian crossing at The Point in Cape Henlopen
- Keybox, Conquest and Faithful Steward crossings at Delaware Seashore State Park. The Conquest pedestrian crossings are also closed.
Like other beaches down the coast, these closed dune crossings led to "unsafe drop-offs," as people try to walk from the dunes to the beach.
The closed locations also have very limited space for drive-on surf fishing because of narrow beaches even during low tide, said spokesperson Shauna McVey.
DNREC’s Shoreline and Waterway Management Section beach crew is working to reopen drive-on and pedestrian crossings along the coastline, including at other damaged beaches.
BEACH EROSION:After nor'easter lingers at Delaware beaches, towns focus on repairing dune crossings
Rehoboth Beach and South Bethany also reported a few closed beach entrances as of Thursday.
The Delaware State Parks encouraged visitors to follow the Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore state parks Facebook pages for updates on closed dune crossings.
The following access points were open as of Thursday:
- The Point, Herring Point and Gordons Pond crossings at Cape Henlopen State Park.
- 3Rs crossing at Delaware Seashore State Park.
- North (York), Middle and South crossing at Fenwick Island State Park.

Alliance Middle School staff member accused of 'inappropriate' communication with students
ALLIANCE – An Alliance Middle School staff member has been placed on administrative leave following allegations of inappropriate communication with students.
Alliance City School District Superintendent Rob Gress wrote in a letter addressed to parents that the Alliance Police Department notified the district about the allegations earlier this week.

The allegations include "sharing of inappropriate imagery and engaging in inappropriate communications with students."
"The district takes allegations of any kind very seriously, and as such, the administration took swift action to place the staff member on immediate administrative leave," the letter said.
The staff member, who is not identified in the communication, is not permitted on campus or to interact with students, families or other staff members, per the district's policy.
Gress said the school district is working cooperatively with the city's police department.
The district has started an internal investigation and contacted families who may have been affected by the allegations.
The letter says the district cannot share any further details at this time to protect the privacy of students and integrity of the investigation.
"We thank our families for their understanding as our district navigates through this sensitive matter," Gress said. "As always, if you have questions, concerns or additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact us."

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Kevin Peterson Jr.’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court against Clark County, claiming that its law enforcement has a “policy, custom and established practice” of allowing officers to wrongfully wield deadly force.
The lawsuit comes about nine months after prosecutors declined to charge the Clark County deputies who shot and killed Peterson during a drug sting in October 2020.
The 21-year-old Black man was shot and killed by two Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies after running from police during a drug bust on Oct. 29, 2020, near the U.S. Bank on NE Highway 99 in Hazel Dell.
The family filed a wrongful death claim against Clark County in March 2021, and in August, the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office deemed the shooting to be “justified and lawful.”
The prosecutor said there was no legal requirement for the officers to wait until Peterson opened fire, and that given the facts of the case, it was reasonable for officers to believe deadly force was necessary.
The federal lawsuit filed Thursday cites two other deadly shootings from Clark County deputies and an alleged “unwarranted use of force:” Jenoah Donald, who was shot and killed by Clark County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Sean Boyle following a traffic stop near NE 68th Street and NE 2nd Avenue, and the shooting death of off-duty Vancouver police officer Donald Sahota.
A similar complaint was filed by Jenoah Donald’s family in February against Clark County, alleging a civil rights violation and a pattern of excessive force used by its law enforcement officers. Attorney Mark Lindquist is working with both families.
Clark County Deputy Jonathan Feller, who shot and killed Sahota after a police response to a robbery went wrong, was also one of the three deputies involved in Peterson’s shooting. One of the other deputies was Jeremy Brown, who was killed in the line of duty in July.
Peterson’s family and their attorney are set to speak on the federal complaint at a press conference Thursday at noon.
KOIN 6 News will have more later in the day.

ARLINGTON, Texas — An Arlington elementary school was placed on a brief lockdown after a parent's gun accidentally discharged on campus, district officials said.
Around 11:45 a.m. Thursday, Arlington police officers responded to Duff Elementary, in the 3100 block of Lynnwood Drive off Park Row Drive, for a reported shooting.
When officers arrived, they learned a parent came to the school with a concealed weapon and while on campus, the weapon “accidentally discharged, striking him in the leg,” police said.
Police believe there was no malicious intent on the parent’s part or any threat to the elementary school.
Police said the lockdown has since been lifted and no students or staff were hurt in the incident. There was also no damage reported to school property.
Police said the parent was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The investigation is ongoing, and police said criminal charges are pending.
The students were released from campus early as already planned.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) – Kingsport’s former city hall has a new purpose – retaining and attracting local creatives and helping them develop creative businesses.
Create Appalachia is a non-profit organization with interest in the business of creativity.
“That can be anything from fine art to game design and animation illustration. We’ve set up the center to be a resource for people,” Create Appalachia Executive Director told News Channel 11 Thursday.
Opportunities for many people working in a creative field in the region are limited, with many having to move to other parts of the country or jump ship completely because the industry is lacking.
Hoffman is an avid scholar of Appalachian Studies and hopes to eliminate stereotypes linked to the people of the region.
“What I noticed was that there is a deep and broad vein of innovation and creativity in Appalachian culture. So I suggested that maybe we say let’s retain and attract. So we want to retain the talent we’ve already got here and there’s so much of it,” she said.
The nonprofit’s founder, Cher Cornett, has been on East Tennessee State University’s digital media faulty for 20 years. She hoped to keep local artists local and offer business and networking opportunities for them.
“She got really tired of seeing her really talented students go off to work somewhere else because they felt like there wasn’t a way for them to be here, especially people who wanted to stay here. And sometimes those are people who grow up hear the people who graduate and want to stay here. Sometimes. There are people who came here to go to college, and then fell in love with the place and decide they’d like to stay,” Hoffman explained.
Old city hall looks completely different with splashes of color and modern design elements adorning the walls. Along with the update in aesthetics, the former government offices now offer the ability for small local businesses to grow.
Some tools necessary to do work can be expensive, so Create Appalachia offers pay-to-use access to computer labs, specialized printers, media streaming studios, conference rooms, office spaces, and much more.
“They can come in and have access to things like Adobe and Photoshop and Maya and blender and some of these other things that people use when they’re combining art and technology to make a living right. But that they can’t afford just as an individual entrepreneur right out of school, or right [at the] beginning of a business. So we’re excited that we’re going to be able to offer them the opportunity to come here and use those kinds of resources,” Hoffman said.
She explained that some of the offices or workspaces will be available to rent by the hour or just for a day or two a week for those who don’t need office space or don’t want to pay for full-time office space.
For remote workers who hope to get out of the cluttered home office, Hoffman said the space can be used to mingle with others and create a sense of community after two years of social isolation created by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Create Appalachia also aims to host a series of classes, one of them is called “Arts at Work.”
“These are sort of basic skills that creative entrepreneurs need to get themselves set up in a business, how to price your work, how to keep your financial record straight, how to create your branding, how to write an artist statement or an about statement for your business, those kinds of things. So just things that if you’re thinking about making your creativity, your business, this is just a little bit of information on how to get started doing that,” Hoffman said.
She added that it would be free, but that other class series’ would be paid classes and would yield professional or continuing education certifications or opportunities.
The nonprofit has locations in Kingsport and Johnson City but serves East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, a small portion of Eastern Kentucky, and a small portion of western North Carolina.
“It’s not just supposed to be an economic driver. It’s supposed to be a creative community, where people can come together and find out about each other and collaborate because one of the things that we found out is that there are so many people out there in the region with their heads down doing awesome things, but they don’t always know about each other. And so if we can get them connected, it’s just gonna be amazing,” Hoffman said.
The Kingsport location is currently hosting the Leaf & Root & Berry Botanical Art Exhibit 2022 until June 3, and a panel to promote the understanding of murals on June 13 called Making Murals: The Why and How of Large Art and Design.
Fiber internet cables have been the only setback the nonprofit has experienced at the old city hall facility and the hiccup has created a delay in offering all of the planned resources, but Hoffman said the entire project will be up and running within a few weeks.

OREGON, USA — As anti-LGBTQ+ efforts and rules ramp up across the country and in Oregon, local transgender youth are sharing their experiences.
"Very difficult process," 16-year-old Emelia said about coming out. "My dad still doesn't really understand it."
Emelia came out around age 12.
Others came out even sooner, such as 13-year-old Emma, who told her parents at age 5.
"I am a girl, I am your daughter, I am not a boy," Emma said.
Thirteen-year-old George did the same at age 9.
"I always kinda knew, my parents always kinda knew," he said.
These youth knew who they are without anyone teaching them about gender identity.
A study published this year in the journal Pediatrics followed kids, ages 3-12, who socially transitioned. Over a five-year period, only 7.3% retransitioned.
Despite knowing their identities, it's a difficult road to walk.
Time reported that 2021 was the deadliest year on record for transgender people in the U.S.
George explained many trans and nonbinary youth experience disproportionate bullying and discrimination in the community and at school.
"Writing my name on the walls of the gender-neutral bathroom calling me slurs," he described of some peers.
Many transgender people, including these underage youth, also face invasive and inappropriate questions.
"Are you going to have surgery?" Emma recited. "Do you have a penis?"
"I'm just like, 'I'm not going to answer that because that’s none of your business,'" George said.
On top of the social scrutiny, politics weigh heavily on the trans population.
The Human Rights campaign reported that a record 34 states introduced anti-transgender bills in 2021, with more added to that list in the first few weeks of 2022.
Texas enacted a law criminalizing some gender-affirming health care, despite opposition from medical experts.
"The impact is huge," said Beth Russell, a school counselor of 17 years now based in Oregon. "We've seen a huge increase in students coming in to talk about gender and gender identity."
Russell made the tough choice to come out as nonbinary at work.
"Sometimes it's exhausting, sometimes it's incredibly rewarding," Russell said.
Russell helps all students, but through lived experience, also offers unique visibility and support to transgender and nonbinary youth and their families.
"Parents don't want their kids' lives to be harder," Russell said.
There is no pushed agenda or identity, simply support for trans and nonbinary youth, who are at significantly higher risk of depression and suicide.
A national survey from the Trevor Project showed about 94% of LGBTQ+ youth reported recent politics negatively impacted their mental health. Half of trans and nonbinary youth seriously considered suicide.
"A lot of times, we're just surviving,” Russell said. "We have to stop making this about politics and rules and start making it about connection...It's not our job to discuss the validity of their identity. It's our job to love them."
Youth like George, Emma and Emelia are watching these debates play out about their identities and rights.
"The fact that we don't even get a say in that is entirely unfair," Emelia said.
"It's not right," Emma agreed.
George offered encouragement to other youth who are struggling.
"There's always going to be one person who’s there for you," he said. "You can’t face the giant monster called 'gender identity' alone without a companion."
Russell said as an educator, the work is about doing good and leading by example.
"I'm not trying to change what other people believe. I’m just asking to be treated with respect for who I am," Russell said. "I hope to continue to offer that message of hope and positivity."
Through the challenges and misunderstandings, they all hold this one thing close:
"The pleasure of knowing who I am," Emelia said.
The TransActive Gender Project at Lewis & Clark College recently announced it will offer a training certificate program to help the transgender and nonbinary population.
"Specifically focused on helping professionals that work with children and youth, [providing] them with the tools and the information and the history to better serve the needs of these youth," said Jenn Burleton of TransActive. "First in the nation. We think it’s going to be a game changer."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash that left a driver dead and a child passenger injured on Thursday morning in Sacramento.
According to the CHP the male driver of a white pickup truck was driving recklessly when he ran a light causing him to collide with an SUV at the intersection of Elise Ave and Power Inn Road.
The collision caused the SUV carrying two passengers to flip over.
When officers arrived on the scene the diver of the SUV was pronounced dead and the child passenger was taken to the hospital with injuries.
"Driver of the pickup fled on foot after good samaritans pulled him out of the vehicle," California Highway Patrol told ABC10. "The same Good Samaritans followed him after he attempted to flee. They stopped him and didn't let him leave until officers arrived on scene."
After being apprehended the driver was detained by CHP and is now being investigated for possible DUI and other potential charges.
The extent of the child and the suspect's injuries are unknown and no other information has been shared as police continue to investigate the incident.

“In 2021, we were honored to be asked to apply for this recognition and were surprised and thrilled to be named a finalist,” said Robin Anderson, President and CEO of the local chamber. “When we received another invitation to apply this year, we knew going in that being a back-to-back finalist was a tall order. I am so proud of our team and our incredible cadre of volunteers. This is a big deal in our world.”
Chambers of commerce interested in competing for the award first must qualify by participating in a vigorous multi-stage process says the release. Organizations entering the Chamber of the Year competition must meet minimum thresholds in at least three of five key performance areas in ACCE's Annual Chamber Operations Survey, including net revenue and assets, membership, account retention and membership dollar retention.
Qualifying chambers enter the competition with a written application addressing all aspects of organizational operation and programmatic work. Applications are scored by peer chamber executives to determine finalists. Winners are selected from among finalists based on an interview before a panel of experienced chamber professionals.
To ensure a fair competition, applicants are grouped into four categories based on: annual revenue, membership area, population and other factors.

After four years on East Congress Street, Ten55 Brewing Co. is leaving downtown Tucson and heading to a 12,000-square-foot space in midtown.
A downtown restaurateur, meanwhile, is opening a new venture in the space that will focus on classic American cuisine.
Ten55 at 110 E. Congress St. will close at the end of business Sunday, May 29. Sometime this summer, Patricia Schwabe, who owns Penca at 50 E. Broadway, will open Blue Front, a restaurant with a menu of burgers, classic tuna melts, milkshakes, salads and soups that Schwabe said will be recreated with an attention to detail and quality.
Rio Nuevo is supporting Schwabe's restaurant with $300,000 for the remodel as part of its mission to revitalize downtown, according to a Rio Neuvo press release.
Ten55 managing partner Chris Squires would not say specifically where he and partner John Paul Vyborny are moving their brewery, which they launched nine years ago in an industrial space on the south side. The pair have agreed to lease terms but have not yet signed the lease, he said.

"It's bittersweet, of course," Squires said. "I love downtown; we are sad to be leaving."
The move comes after Ten55 changed its business model during the pandemic when it was forced to close the dining room. The brewery pivoted to production and signed a deal with the regional behemoth Finley Distributors to sell beer in local restaurants and resorts and retail outlets including Safeway, Sprouts, Trader Joe's and Albertsons.
"If I'm being honest, this little brewery restaurant is not built to feed that capacity," Squires said. "We need more production space. With a larger production facility, I can make pitches that I haven't been able to make because I wasn't sure we would be able to fulfill those commitments.”
The new location, which will include dining and a beer garden, will allow Ten55 to triple its production.
Squires said they will continue brewing at the Congress Street location "right up to the last minute until I have to move those tanks."
The multimillion-dollar move will include removing doors at both locations to accommodate the brewing tanks and equipment, building out the new space and buying new brewing and kitchen equipment.
Schwabe said she will renovate the front part of 110 E. Congress and hopes to open in 45 days or so. Once Ten55 removes its tanks from the back end of the space, she will expand the restaurant.
Blue Front gets its name from the clothing store of the same name that sold women's and men's fashions on East Congress Street in the early 1900s.

FRIDAY: Drier, more comfortable air moves in behind the cold front, leading to fantastic weather on Friday. A few clouds may pop up in the afternoon, but we stay dry and comfortable with highs in the upper 70s.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: We kick off the holiday weekend with some fantastic weather on Saturday. The sky will be sunny to mostly sunny all weekend long, but Saturday remains comfortable with highs only reaching the low 80s. We start to warm things up a bit more on Sunday with the thermometer reaching the mid to upper 80s, and by Memorial Day, we’re back in the upper 80s with a few of us approaching 90°.
NEXT WEEK: Things start out hot and dry next week. Temperatures reach the low 90s by mid-week. Humidity starts to creep back up a bit by mid-week as well, and scattered downpours return to the forecast Wednesday and Thursday.
GULF COAST FORECAST: For those headed to Alabama’s Beaches for the holiday weekend, the good news is that the weather looks dry, and the Gulf is calming back down after a rough week. Surf should be subsiding and the rip current decreasing as we head into next week. Remember to heed the advice of beach patrol, know the flag system, and use caution when in the Gulf of Mexico.

CHARLESTON, WV (WBOY) — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced a $19.2 million multistate settlement, Thursday, with Ford Motor Company regarding claims that Ford falsely advertised the payload capacity of 2011–2014 Super Duty F-series pickup trucks.
West Virginia will receive $231,562.73 from the settlement.
“West Virginians should be able to rely on the truthfulness of the claims that car manufacturers make in advertising,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “When people bought one of these Ford cars or trucks, they put their faith in what Ford represented. But Ford falsely advertised the pickups were capable of hauling more.”
The multistate investigation looked into Ford’s misleading “Best-in-Class” payload claims on its 2011–2014 Super Duty pickups, which includes the F-250, F-350 and F-450 models, a line that caters to consumers hauling and towing heavy loads.
Ford’s methodology to calculate maximum payload capacity for advertising purposes was allegedly based on a hypothetical truck configuration that omitted standard items such as the spare wheel, tire and jack, center flow console (replacing it with a mini console), and radio. Although advertised as available to all customers, only fleet customers could order the special configuration, according to Morrisey’s office.
The settlement also resolved claims that Ford falsely advertised the real-world fuel economy of model year 2013-2014 C-Max hybrids.
Morrisey joined this settlement along with his counterparts from 41 other states.

WHITESBORO, N.Y. – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Click It or Ticket campaign has started, and drivers can expect to see checkpoints around the area to ensure people are buckled up.
State troopers set up a roadblock on Mohawk Street in Whitesboro Thursday morning to check passing vehicles and make sure all occupants had their seat belts on. As of 2020, all passengers in a vehicle must buckle up regardless of where they are sitting.
According to NHTSA, nearly 11,000 unbuckled passengers were killed in crashes in the United States alone last year.
The Click It or Ticket campaign continues through June 5.

Note: The video is from May 25.
The Cumberland County Bureau of Elections will begin a recount of ballots for United States Senator at noon on Tuesday, and will continue each day until the recount is completed, the county's office of communications said today.
The recount of the ballots is from the General Primary on May 17. In the GOP primary race, the difference in vote totals for the top two finishers -- celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick— fall within the margin in state law for a mandatory recount.
Oz, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, led McCormick by 902 votes, or 0.07 percentage points, out of 1,343,643 ballots reported by the state as of Wednesday.
The Department of State estimated that counties had about 10,000 provisional and absentee ballots from military and overseas voters remaining to count, but it did not know how many were cast by Republican voters.
With 65 of the state's 67 counties reporting, there are another 860 Republican mail-in ballots with undated or misdated envelopes that are the subject of court cases, department officials said.
A federal court ruled Friday that the undated and misdated ballots should be counted. The Pennsylvania Department of State also recommended counting those ballots.
In Cumberland County's case, after all ballots from the polls, mail-in, absentee, military, overseas and provisional are recounted, the results will appear on the county's Bureau of Elections website.
The candidate or their attorney and two representatives from the party are permitted to witness the count, the county said.
The recount of ballots will be held in the Bureau of Elections Conference Room, 1601 Ritner Highway, Suite 201, Carlisle.

LANCASTER, Pa. — Gas prices hit new records—again—this week.
In Pennsylvania, the high was $4.77 per gallon on May 22, according to AAA.
Energy experts predict costs will eventually go down, but not anytime soon.
Gas prices are mostly set weeks or months in advance due to long-term planning around production.
During the pandemic, people drove less. Vehicle miles traveled fell 11 percent from 2019 to 2020, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Accordingly, oil companies cut production.
Two years later, cars are back on the road in nearly pre-pandemic numbers. Oil companies have still been hesitant to restart or increase production, wary that tougher environmental rules could force them closed or cut down future demand.
EIA forecasts U.S. oil production will increase 0.7 million barrels per day in 2022 to 11.9 million b/d. They predict production won’t exceed pre-pandemic rates until 2023.
During an energy industry briefing on May 26, oil producers called for reassurance from government regulators that domestic oil production can continue.
“Policy makers can send a signal that we’re invested open for investment in oil and natural gas into the future,” said Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of Policy, Economics and Regulatory Affairs at the American Petroleum Institute.
Russia’s war on Ukraine is another major factor inflating gas prices. It cut off oil supplies both directly to the U.S. and to other countries that must now compete for the same remaining oil stores. It also spooked investors on the short-term prospects of oil. “The bottom line is that crude oil is traded on a global market where prices are offset by worldwide supply and demand, and influenced by Wall Street traders’ perception of supply and demand,” said Rob Underwood, president of Energy Marketers of America.
EIA also predicts drivers will spend 2.9 percent of their disposable income on gas in 2023, up from 1 percent during the pandemic, but still well below 5.3 percent during the Great Recession in 2008.
That’s not much comfort to drivers like Phil Gray of Perkasie, Pa. While filling up his truck on Thursday, he lamented that he may have to cut some planned summer travel.
“That gas money is coming out of somewhere,” he said. “So you don’t go out to dinner, you don’t go somewhere with the kids.” He looked forlornly at the final price on the pump display: $112.64.
