Fears Premier League 'could be reduced to 18 TEAMS amid FIFA's plans to restrict global top-flights to ease Club World Cup congestion - as stars threaten strikes' An expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup will be held in the US next summer Clubs fear league participations will be reduced to combat fixture congestion Sunday league, grassroots, pub football… how Pep’s influence has trickled down the pyramid - Listen to the It's All Kicking Off podcast There are reportedly fears that FIFA want to impose 18-team leagues around the world, including the Premier League, due to the expansion of the Club World Cup. The governing body - headed by president Gianni Infantino - announced plans to hold a 32-team tournament in the US next summer to determine the best club side in the world, with the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid and Chelsea all due to take part. According to The Sun, clubs are worried that FIFA will try to combat this issue by reducing the number of teams in every league to 18, meaning each club would play 34 games instead of 38. One source said: 'We all think that this is the ultimate aim from Fifa, to find a way of making us drop to 18. There are reportedly fears that FIFA want to impose 18-team leagues around the world An 18-team Premier League would mean each club plays 34 games instead of the usual 38 'What you can put your money on is the working group saying there is too much domestic football, that we should all go down from 20 clubs to 18 and that the least impact on players comes from international matches. 'We wouldn't be shocked if they have already written their conclusions.' It comes after FIFA were threatened with legal action by player unions and world leagues if it does not move the expanded 2025 Club World Cup. Premier League and LaLiga chiefs have also have threatened to pull their teams out unless the revamped competition is rescheduled Last month Premier League chief executive Richard Masters declared that football is at a 'tipping point' with players being asked to play more games than ever before. 'It stands to reason if you overload the calendar and the players, at some point, something has to give,' said Masters. Richard Masters (left) and Javier Tebas (right) have concerns over the newly-expanded Club World Cup and are reportedly threatening to boycott the tournament altogether 'It is getting to a tipping point. The feedback we have from players is that there is too much football being played and there is constant expansion.' The Club World Cup will run from June 15 to July 13 2025 and take away some clubs' chance of recuperating in the off-season and preparing for the new Premier League campaign. If FIFA enforce the rule, the Bundesliga, Portuguese league, Belgian league among others will be unaffected as they already have 18 or less teams competing in their respective leagues.

Why Parramatta Eels star Mitchell Moses believes Nicho Hynes can guide NSW Blues to victory in Origin opener - 'will do the jersey proud' Star halfback Mitchell Moses backed Nicho Hynes to deliver for NSW Comes as the Cronulla Sharks playmaker, 27, is battling a calf injury Eels playmaker Moses looms as a replacement if Hynes doesn't perform Mitchell Moses says Nicho Hynes 'deserves the opportunity' to play halfback for the Blues, with the returning Eels star backing NSW to get the job done. The Parramatta No.7 is the incumbent Blues halfback - but was unavailable for selection for the series opener after he fractured his left foot in round three. Moses would have been the obvious choice to play with Panthers superstar Nathan Cleary out injured, but as hard as he pushed for an early return, it wasn't meant to be. Hynes will instead steer the side around the park at Accor Stadium, despite carrying his own calf issue. 'I hope they win. I think the team Madge [Blues coach Michael Maguire] has picked is unbelievable,' Moses said, with the Eels star likely to be considered for game two if NSW don't win on June 5. Mitchell Moses says Nicho Hynes 'deserves the opportunity' to play halfback for NSW in the Origin series opener on June 5 Hynes is battling a calf injury and has barely trained with the Blues in the lead up to Game One against the Maroons 'I've got to play well myself to be in the conversation, but I really hope they get the win. I wish them all the best. 'He's picked a great side and I think they'll get the job done. 'It's a big opportunity for him (Hynes). He won a Dally M a few years ago and is playing great footy, so he deserves the opportunity. 'He's going to go out there and do the jersey proud.' Moses also said he felt 'helpless' as he watched long term mentor Brad Arthur recently get sacked by the club's board. 'It was really hard to watch,' he said. 'I was helpless to see the coach [go] that I had pretty much since I came to the club....I had such a good relationship with him. 'He taught me a lot about footy, and I'm probably not the player I am today without him. 'It was pretty tough watching on the sidelines and not being able to help at all, and then to see what happened. 'That's footy I guess, I had to move on and we had to move on as a club.'

A man in Florida has been indicted on a second-degree murder charge in the 2009 killing of his uncle in New York City after authorities say DNA collected from a discarded fork linked him to the crime. Rosario Prestigiacomo, 64, was stabbed to death at his Queens home on Feb. 10, 2009, according to a news release from the Queens County District Attorney's Office. A neighbor heard a disturbance and called police, who found Prestigiacomo face down in a pool of blood. The investigation found that he had been stabbed 16 times in the face, neck, torso and extremities, and that he had blunt-force injuries as well. Blood swabs were collected from the location, according to the district attorney, and the city's medical examiner used the material on them to create DNA profiles for the victim and an "additional unknown male." The second profile was entered into databases, but did not match any profiles currently in the system. The case remained cold until March 2022. That's when the district attorney's office and the NYPD cold case squad joined forces with Othram, a private laboratory, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to use to try to learn more about the second person. uses genetic research and DNA analysis to try to identify DNA profiles. Othram was able to use advanced DNA testing to create a "comprehensive genealogical profile" from blood left at the murder scene, the district attorney said. Meanwhile, the NYPD's Forensic Investigations Division used databases and public records to build a family tree of the victim to try and determine possible suspects. That family tree helped lead investigators to Anthony Scalici, Prestigiacomo's nephew. Scalici, now 41, lived in Boynton Beach, Florida. Detectives from the NYPD and the Boynton Beach Police Department surveyed Scalici in Florida, working to obtain a DNA sample. On Feb. 17, 2024 — almost exactly 15 years after his uncle was murdered — police were able to retrieve a discarded fork that Scalici had used. That fork was analyzed and a DNA profile matched the unknown DNA found at the murder scene, the district attorney said. Matching DNA was also recovered from under Prestigiacomo's fingernail. United States Marshals, the Boynton Beach Police Department and the NYPD's Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Scalici on May 14. He was extradited to New York City on Wednesday. The New York Times reported that Scalici's lawyer, David Cohen, said his client had pleaded not guilty. He is being held at Rikers Island, the Times reported, and will next appear in court on July 8. Scalici faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted. Invesitgators say at this time the motive is unclear, CBS New York reported. The district attorney's office said this is the first time forensic genetic genealogy has been used to identify and arrest a homicide suspect in New York City. "I formed a Cold Case Unit to bring closure to grieving families and seek justice on behalf of victims," said district attorney Melinda Katz in the news release. "This case is an example of the perseverance and determination of the investigators on this, and every cold case, and highlights the successful partnership formed between my office and the NYPD Cold Case Squad. Defendants should not be able to evade justice no matter how much time has passed."

With the BJP government in Rajasthan claiming that the situation is under control amid the searing heat this summer, the Opposition Congress on Friday accused the health authorities of suppressing the number of deaths caused by heat stroke. Pradesh Congress Committee president Govind Singh Dotasra said more than 100 persons have died of heat stroke in the State. While accusing the State government of failing to manage the heatwave situation, Mr. Dotasra said the health authorities were hiding the actual number of deceased persons under pressure from the State government. “The government wants to avoid paying compensation to the next of kin of those dying of heat stroke as directed by the Rajasthan High Court,” Mr. Dotasra said. The High Court had on Thursday taken suo motu cognisance of the heat-related incidents and directed the State government to pay compensation to the dependents of those who had died because of heatwave. The single judge bench of Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand also said there was a need to declare heatwaves and cold waves as “national calamities”. Amid the Congress’s allegation that the authorities had failed to take appropriate steps to protect the public from the ongoing heat wave, Director (Public Health) Ravi Prakash Mathur said only nine persons had died of heat stroke in the State so far and the reports about a higher toll being circulated and published were “beyond facts”. Dr. Mathur said the authentic figures of deaths were released by the Death Audit Committee after investigating the causes of death in the suspicious cases as per the parameters set by the Union government. “If any death is found to be due to heat stroke, it is certified and its report is sent to the Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP) portal. Only those figures are authentic,” he said. “According to medical experts, deaths can also occur because of serious diseases and other reasons during extreme heat. They cannot be considered as caused by heat stroke, as per the protocol,” Dr. Mathur said. The Health department has released the figures of heat stroke cases reported in the State since March 1 this year. It said the total number of heat stroke patients reported so far was 4,911, of whom 93 were admitted to the emergency wards on Friday. The total number of confirmed heat stroke deaths was nine, and four of them had occurred on Friday, the department said. However, Mr. Dotasra said the bodies of as many as 40 unidentified persons were lying in the mortuary of Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Hospital — the biggest government hospital in the State — after their death because of the heatwave. “About 20 to 25 bodies are coming every day, but they are disposed of with post-mortem within three days to avoid paying compensation,” he said. “The situation in the entire State is horrific and worrying. The government is officially stating that only nine persons have died [of heat stroke]. The truth is that the number of deaths due to the scorching heat is very scary,” Mr. Dotasra said in a video message posted on X. The PCC chief said the BJP government was on an “auto mode”, instead of being on alert, compelling the High Court to take cognisance of the situation and pass orders. The State government had completely failed in protecting the people from the heatwave and managing adequate supply of power and water, he said, adding that the Opposition had been constantly demanding that proper arrangements be made for protection and relief in the hot weather.

Violence, disorder, disruption, not permitted," said Rebecca Weiner, NYPD deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism. NYPD data shows -- 154 crimes so far this year, compared to 96 crimes during the same period last year.

"To someone who is afraid to come on Sunday, what is your message?" CBS New York's Mahsa Saeidi asked. "My message is that we have the greatest police department in the world, the NYPD. The NYPD is really moving heaven and earth to make sure that this event on Sunday is as safe as humanly possible," Treyger said. Parents of hostage hope to see support at Israel Day On Fifth Parade Omer Neutra, of Long Island, was taken hostage by Hamas 238 days ago.

Eight are still there," father Ronen Neutra said. "I'm really hoping that on Sunday, we'll see a large turnout from other communities as well," Orna Neutra said. Friday, President Joe Biden .

NEW YORK - The U.S. will . New York is in the grip of cricket fever. Saturday, , with on Monday. The matchup is Sri Lanka versus South Africa The sport has been thriving among immigrant communities for generations, with local leagues hosting competitions at neighborhood parks across New York City for decades. Cricket as family tradition "My dad was one of the first organizers of the Trinidad against Guyana game," Sunil Maharaj said. "Cricket came to me because we would always be with my dad when he was playing games." Sunil's father Jimmy Maharaj started playing the centuries-old sport in the 1970s, both in Trinidad - his family's homeland - and at neighborhood parks around New York. "Cricket was my dad's first love, then my mom came second," Sunil Maharaj said. Sunil's father received local and international recognition, and had lots of local fans. Even when he became ill with cancer and was no longer able to compete, he still found joy in the game by watching his sons play. "He would come and enjoy cricket, watching us. Sometimes he would give us little tips," Maharaj said. In 2006, the family founded a windball cricket team. That's a form of cricket that uses a softball instead of a traditional hardball. They've been playing in weekly competitions in Brooklyn and Queens ever since. In one word, how would he describe cricket? "Exhilarating," he said. "Because at any moment the game could go either way." The Maharaj family is just one of many families from South Asian and Caribbean communities proud to see the T20 World Cup matches being played in New York for the first time. "I think he would be amazed at how far this game has come, and it's finally in the U.S.," Maharaj said. They hope the competition at Eisenhower Park on Long Island will take the sports popularity to the next level in the U.S. Some basic rules and terms of cricket Cricket, a bat-and-ball game similar to baseball, is played on a 22-yard pitch, which is a rectangular area in the middle of the field. It is played with wickets - sets of three sticks - at each end that batters must defend during the game. Each tea takes turns batting and bowling, which is similar to pitching. The goal is to score the most runs. "There's boundaries. Like baseball has a home run, we have fours and sixes. If you hit the ball and it bounces before it hits the rope, it's four runs. If it goes over the boundary rope, it's six runs," Maharaj said.

READ MORE: Mad Max: Furiosa fans left 'disturbed' A long time Mad Max fan has had his dream come true after scoring a small role in Furisoa: A Mad Max Saga the latest instalment of the hit franchise. Paul Price was just ten years old when he first encountered the famed action film series. Forty years later Price has ended up sharing scenes with Hollywood legend Chris Hemsworth who plays a villain in the blockbuster directed by veteran Australian filmmaker George Miller. Price, 53, is from Silverton, near Broken Hill, 1167kms Sydney. The desolate area around the tiny town was one of the locations used while filming the $333 million (US$168million) mega-production. A long time Mad Max fan has had a dream come true after scoring a small role in Furisoa: A Mad Max Saga the latest instalment of the hit franchise. Pictured: Chris Hemsworth Silverton was also used to film the second Mad Max film in 1981, Mad Mad 2. Price remembers as a ten-year-old seeing cast members in their bizarre costumes parked outside Silverton pub, which is now owned by his parents. 'I woke up that morning and walked outside, (and saw) all the bikers, it just sort of stuck with me for years from there,' he told The Daily Telegraph on Friday. Paul Price was just ten years old when he first encountered the famed action film series. Forty years later Paul has ended up sharing scenes with Hollywood legend Chris Hemsworth who plays a villain in the blockbuster. (A scene from Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) In Furisoa, Paul got a role as a 'featured extra' as a 'police biker' who is employed by the character of Dementus in the film, played by Chris Hemsworth. Meanwhile, Furiosa's initial box-office in the U.S. has been below expectations. It made an estimated $25.5 million over the Memorial Day Weekend just beating out the family film, The Garfield Movie which earned $24.8 million.

Pictured: Price far right in a scene from the film However, according to Box Office Mojo Furiosa is performing better in other territories across the globe. Its world wide gross to date is $71,717,619. According to Screen Rant , Furiosa wasn't as successful as anticipated because of the wait time between this sequel and the previous one. Fans have had to wait almost 10 years for the Mad Max prequel since Fury Road was released back in 2015. Fans have had to wait almost 10 years for the Mad Max prequel since Fury Road was released back in 2015 Many box office analysts had projected a debut for Furiosa in the $40 million to $50 million range, but like The Fall Guy it fell well under expectations. Critics have embraced Furiosa, earning an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Anya Taylor-Joy plays a younger version of the title character Furiosa in the film, first played by Charlize Theron. It is set over a 16-year period in Furiosa's life, years after a global catastrophe that has turned Australia into a radioactive wasteland. The film follows Furiosa from when she was just 10 years old (played by Alyla Browne) and was abducted by Dr Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), leader of the Biker Horde. The film also stars Tom Burke as Praetorian Jack, Lachy Hulme as Immortan Joe and Angus Sampson as the Organic Mechanic. It's the fifth film in the Mad Max series which began with Mad Max (1979), followed by Mad Mad 2 (1981) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. All three starred Mel Gibson. Mad Max: Fury Road followed in 2015. All of the films have been conceived and directed by original Mad Max creator 79-year-old George Miller.

'We share a brain - maybe too much - and we share a heart. But you are all you and the world is a much more sparkly and magnificent place because you are here,' she continued. Jenna Dewan took to Instagram to celebrate her daughter Everly's eleventh birthday with a sweet message and a carousel of throwback snaps on Saturday The 43-year-old actress penned a heartwarming message for her first born, thanking the youngster for making her a mother 'My first baby is 11,' she began, 'I am honestly so emotional today it will be a small miracle if i can get through this day without blabbering and crying how proud of you I am and how much I love you every single second of the day…!'

Dewan added a heartwarming snap of little Everly hugging her baby bump, just days away from her due date. The tribute post she shared with her 9.5million followers was a hit racking up over 73.5k likes and 536 comments. Fans flooded the comments with birthday wishes and support for Everly with one writing, 'Happy Birthday. Such a pretty girl with a beautiful soul. So grown up.' Another fan penned well wishes and pointed out the similarities between the youngster and her famous father, Channing Tatum. 'Happy birthday gorgeous you are a twin of your dad,' the wrote.

The ex-couple has both since moved on as Dewan is expecting her second baby with fiancé Steve Kazee and Tatum is engaged to actress Zoë Kravitz. Jenna and Steve welcomed their first child together - son Callum, four, born March 6, 2020. 'We share a brain - maybe too much - and we share a heart.

Tatum, who was then an up-and-coming leading man, starred in the first Magic Mike movie in 2012, which was directed by Steven Soderbergh. Just weeks ago, Tatum's attorneys denied his ex's claims that he hid proceeds in an irrevocable trust. They also claimed the Magic Mike actor 'has never denied' Dewan's share of community assets or income. His attorney, Jacqueline Combs, also said the Magic Mike franchise made most of its money after the couple had already separated, according to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com. During an April hearing, Combs said Tatum has tried multiple times to resolve the issue with his ex without having to go through a separate trial, but were instead met with Dewan's 'unnecessarily litigious conduct and delay tactics. 'This has been going on for six years and it's very important to move the case to trial,' a frustrated Combs told the judge. Dewan's attorneys said they also were prepared to go to trial, but alerted the judge that the actress is set to give birth in mid-June. The judge said he was 'very aware' of her due date and ordered time to depose the actress before she has her baby. He added that both Dewan and Tatum should be deposed no later than July 26.

For now, a trial date has been set in December. Dewan and Tatum have indicated they plan to call the other to the stand. 'This is your last chance,' Judge Wasserman told both sides. 'This is it.'

You're so tired and you try to get up and don't know if your leg is going to walk because you've got no strength and everything hurts,' she said.

'I have been very vocal about members of my community going to Qatar and promoting it with everything that's going on in the world and the human rights atrocities.' 'I've got hypocrite tattooed on my hand for a reason. I can very well say this stuff, but I'm going to Qatar later this year to experience it firsthand.' 'Not in five-star hotels, but with members of the trans community and those who can't express who they are because of fear.'

Chloe Goodman arrives at the airport with her fiancé Grant Hall ahead of their wedding in Portugal - but where's her sister Lauryn? Chloe Goodman looked every inch the doting mother as arrived at the airport with her two children and her fiancé Grant Hall ahead of their wedding in Portugal. The former glamour model, 30, appeared in top spirits as she hauled her luggage across the airport on Friday as they prepared to tie the knot in June. But as the family prepared for the big day, her influencer sister Lauryn Goodman, 33, was nowhere to be seen as their family feud seemingly continues as it is believed that she has been uninvited to the wedding. Chloe, who became engaged to the Rotherham United player in February 2020, wore a figure-hugging black lycra one piece with some Nike socks and Air Jordan trainers. She proved she could handle her role as a mother and her tasks of being a bride in her stride as she carried boxes of luggage and took care of her little ones. Chloe Goodman looked every inch the doting mother as arrived at the airport with her two children and her fiancé Grant Hall ahead of their wedding in Portugal But as the family prepared for the big day, her influencer sister Lauryn Goodman , 33, was nowhere to be seen as their family feud seemingly continues as she it is believed that she has been uninvited to the wedding Chloe is a mother to Hudson, two, and Isla, three, who she shares with her footballer fiancé. For the big day she was spotted shipping a large box from Hummingbird Bridal studio, alongside several monogrammed suitcases. MailOnline has contacted Lauryn's representatives for a comment. The feud between the two sisters followed the reveal that footballer Kyle Walker was the father of Lauryn's baby daughter - despite him being married to Annie Kilner. The Manchester City defender, 33, was rumoured to be the biological dad since Lauryn gave birth in August, however she claimed to have welcomed the child with 'another footballer'. Kyle and Lauryn already share son Kairo, three, but he was conceived during Kyle's temporary split from Annie in 2019. Relations have turned frosty between the siblings in recent months, with Chloe and Amelia both unfollowing Lauryn on Instagram and scrubbing any images of her from their accounts, while Lauryn then did the same. Chloe, 30, appeared in top spirits as she hauled her luggage across the airport on Friday as they prepared to tie the knot in June Chloe, who became engaged to the Rotherham United player in February 2020, wore a figure-hugging black lycra one piece with some Nike socks and Air Jordan trainers She proved she could handle her role as a mother and her tasks of being a bride in her stride as she carried boxes of luggage and took care of her little ones Chloe is a mother to Hudson, two, and Isla , three, who she shares with her footballer fiancé For the big day she was spotted shipping a large box from Hummingbird Bridal studio, alongside several monogrammed suitcases The sisters have also made many subtle digs at one another and shared several cryptic posts, hinting at their fallout. In February, Amelia stoked the fires after claiming Lauryn refused to allow Kairo to attend Chloe's son's birthday party. Chloe threw a Sing 2 themed party to celebrate her son Hudson turning two years old, and while Amelia was in attendance, neither Lauryn or Kairo, three made an appearance, in the wake of the alleged sibling fallout. Amelia took to her Instagram Stories to add more credence to the feud claims, as she hit out at Lauryn for not allowing Kairo to go to his cousin's birthday. She insisted that he had been invited and would always be, because 'we love him will all our hearts'. However, she implied that Lauryn herself would not have been welcome at the party, by saying she had offered to take Kairo herself. 'Of course Kairo was invited to Hudson's birthday party and I had offered to take him and look after him myself. 'The invitation was declined. He will always be invited to everything we do as we love him with all our heart.' Following the statement, Lauryn shared a cryptic quote to her own Instagram Stories, that seemingly hinted at the drama. It read: 'Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems.' The feud between the two sisters followed the reveal that footballer Kyle Walker was the father of Lauryn's baby daughter - despite being married to Annie Kilner In January 2020 the football player got down on one knee during their baby gender reveal party and popped the question. The pair confessed their happy relationship has lifted them both from the depths of depression, with Grant going as far as to say Chloe 'saved his life'. Chloe told The Sun: 'We met at a really bad time in our lives; I had just broken up with my previous fiance and also lost a child. I moved back to my Brighton home town and had to pack up and close my clinic and start again. 'He had just gone through a break up as well and was dealing with a terrible time in terms of football - he didn't know if he was going to play again.' Grant admitted being diagnosed with chronic tendonitis in his knee in April 2017 forced him to face up to the fact he might never play again. He explained: 'I was going out five, six weeks in a row, using it as a coping mechanism to distract myself from my injury, just drinking and trying to forget about football because I didn't want to be around it, and that's when I met Chlo.' The pair soon became inseparable and believe they only 'got through things' because they had something else to focus on. The defender's career struggles lasted for almost two years, but he kept the worst of his crippling depression a secret from Chloe. Chloe revealed she cried when Grant sent her a link to a radio interview he had done about his mental health battle. Grant says he always knew he wanted to marry Chloe, but she was so surprised she nearly 'keeled over' when he proposed in front of their friends and family. Her outing comes amid her family feud with Lauryn, 32, (right) with it being claimed both Chloe and their other sister Amelia, 25, (centre) have have fallen out with her (pictured together in 2017) Chloe revealed she is engaged to her footballer partner Grant after he popped the question at their baby gender reveal last month The pair confessed their happy relationship has lifted them both from the depths of depression, with Grant going as far as to say Chloe 'saved his life'

Caroline Manzo details sexual assault allegations against Brandi Glanville in new court filing as she claims Real Housewives co-star 'forcibly fondled my vagina against my will' Manzo, 62, claims Glanville, 51, 'locked' her in a bathroom 'where she forcibly fondled her vagina' The reality star claimed Bravo producers 'watched and kept filming' the assault during Ultimate Girls' Trip production Manzo said her costar was encouraged by production who plied them with alcohol as they filmed in Morocco 'When Glanville was sexually assaulting me on the sofa, she was rubbing her vagina on me,' Manzo wrote in the filing, per the outlet. 'The producers just watched and kept filming. They saw that I was in distress and yet, they continued to film.' Manzo said production failed to intervene, allowing Glanville to persistently consume alcohol and follow her into the bathroom, where Glanville allegedly pushed her against the door, resulting in a head injury. '[Glanville] then locked me in the bathroom where she forcibly fondled my vagina against my will,' Manzo continued in the legal documents. Caroline Manzo (left) provided a detailed account of the alleged sexual assault by Brandi Glanville (right) that occurred while they were filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls' Trip in Morocco. The RHONJ alum, 62, claimed the former RHOBH star, 51, forcibly groped her vagina while producers were filming the Bravo series in a signed affidavit filed on May 28, according to Page Six 'Glanville maliciously sexually assaulted me for her own sexual gratification,' she added. 'She did this by forcibly kissing me, rubbing her vagina on me and then fondling my vagina against my will.' DailyMail.com has reached out to Bravo, as well as Manzo's and Glanville's reps, for comment. The affidavit comes after Glanville's attorney claimed she was 'used and abused by NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros., and Shed Media' as they accused the network of 'hiding evidence' that would clear her name in an explosive legal letter threatening a lawsuit. Manzo made headlines in 2023 when she alleged that Glanville kissed her without consent and even 'forced her vagina against her back' during filming of the Housewives spin off show in Morocco. In January, Manzo officially filed to sue Bravo over her claim that production encouraged Glanville to sexually harass. In legal documents filed a month later, Glanville's attorney's appeared to suggest Manzo was lying, insisting no assault took place, as they demand the network release to them 'all existing documents and data' pertaining to the accusations. 'Ms. Glanville and Ms. Manzo engaged in "dirty dancing," flirting, and playful touching,' the letter reads. 'Throughout the night, they shared a couple of kisses. Glanville's attorney claims that the TV star has been 'used and abused by Bravo' and they are accusing the network of 'hiding evidence' that would clear her name in a new legal letter (pictured 2023) Manzo is suing Bravo and claims production encouraged Glanville to sexually harass her during filming the Housewives spinoff Ultimate Girls Trip (pictured 2021) 'We have heard about a supposed "bathroom incident" through press leaks, but Shed Media has repeatedly refused to allow Ms. Glanville or her counsel to see the footage in question; there is no truth to any allegations of impropriety'. The letter continued: 'It is apparent some allegation was made; however, neither the nature nor the source of that allegation has been clarified by NBC, Shed Media, or Warner Bros. 'We can glean from the press coverage—seeded by malicious and deliberate leaks—that Ms. Manzo formally accused Ms. Glanville of sexual misconduct and that Ms. Glanville was sent home as a result.' They continued: 'It bears emphasis that Ms. Glanville and Ms. Manzo were never alone together; anything that happened took place in the presence of the cast and crew. All the events were captured on camera or picked up via microphone.' Glanville's legal team maintain her innocence and insist that the TV star was never alone with Manzo, and that her costar 'did not manifest a lack of consent at any point.' The letter also sees Glanville's reps accuse Manzo of 'feeding a defamatory narrative' to the media and of being the source behind the press leaks regarding the claims. The letter states: 'We have every reason to believe that Ms. Manzo, with the tacit or express support of Bravo and Shed Media, is the source of the early and voluminous press leaks that began immediately upon Ms. Glanville’s return home. 'Yet Ms. Glanville was admonished to remain entirely silent and to refrain from defending herself. She was further told that assuming her compliance with that directive, she would have the opportunity to work for Shed Media/Warner Bros. again on the condition that she completes 6-months of outpatient therapy with a Warner Bros.-affiliated therapist. Ms. Glanville did so. 'It became apparent afterward, however, that this was a false promise intended to ensure Ms. Glanville’s silence.' Glanville previously revealed that her face was left disfigured due to stress-induced angioedema - a condition which causes swelling under the skin The star, pictured left in 2017, has been working with a plastic surgeon to conquer her condition - pictured right in 2024 It continues: 'All the while, Ms. Manzo, Bravo, and Shed Media were feeding a defamatory narrative that destroyed Ms. Glanville’s reputation, employment prospects, mental health, and financial stability and caused untold harm to Ms. Glanville and her family.' In a statement shared with DailyMail.com, attorney Bryan Freedman called for other 'victims' of Bravo and NBC to reach out to their team and join the 'fight' against the network. He wrote: 'This is yet another example of the abusive practices of the reality TV industry. Mark Geragos and I have heard from thousands of current and former cast members on reality shows about the physical and emotional harm inflicted on them by virtue of their participation. NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros., and Shed Media intentionally obscure their legal rights, bind them to illegal contracts, and knowingly cause them to suffer in silence. 'We know there are untold numbers of innocent victims who have yet to tell their stories or seek legal redress. We encourage all of them to contact us and join our growing team as we fight for change in this sordid industry.' The letter highlighted how Glanville has been plagued with health issues ever since Manzo's allegations went public, and said she has been in 'dire straits' after Bravo tried to 'humiliate and ruin her publicly.' The reality star has talked openly about how her face was left disfigured due to stress-induced angioedema - a condition which causes swelling under the skin Glanville's team accuses the network of having a 'reckless disregard for the mental and emotional health' of employees - adding that Glanville has been treated like a 'sacrificial lamb' and has faced 'social and economic death.' They are seeking evidence from the network's servers, storage, personal computers, portable systems. The legal letter warns that 'Ms. Glanville is uniquely positioned to reveal more revelations' and is just one of thousands of stars to come forward against the network in recent years. According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Manzo claims Glanville 'forced her vagina against her back' and 'proceeded to mount Manzo on the couch holding Manzo down with her body, forcibly squeezed Manzo's cheeks together and thrust her tongue in Manzo's mouth, while humping her.' The documents state: 'Defendants, including Bravo, regularly ply the Real Housewives cast with alcohol, cause them to become severely intoxicated, and then direct, encourage and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because that is good for ratings.' 'Caroline Manzo is a victim of those harmful actions,' it added. In her full statement in response to the suit at the time, a representative for Glanville told DailyMail.com: 'Sadly, Brandi had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her. While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault. 'She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without word of support from Peacock, Shed or Bravo.' The statement concluded: 'This painful storytelling seems endless and needs to stop. She is looking to move on and upward and get her life back.' This isn't the first lawsuit filed against the network over the Housewives franchise. Last year butler Marco Vega - who worked and appeared on season two of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip - filed a lawsuit for sexual assault and harassment. In his lawsuit, Vega said he was 'sexually harassed and abused' while shooting the show at Dorinda Medley's Blue Stone Manor claiming he was slapped on the buttocks by Phaedra Parks and that he was 'forcibly stripped' by Glanville, who ripped his shirt off. In her lawsuit, Manzo alleged that the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum kissed her without consent and even 'forced her vagina against her back' Glanville insists she is innocent and 'vehemently denies any wrongdoing' - pictured in 2009 Leah McSweeney filed a discrimination complaint with Bravo last year, alleging she was forced to miss her grandmother's funeral due to filming commitments. A lawsuit filed by McSweeney is said to be imminent, Page Six reported at the time. Back in August, a bombshell letter revealed that 80 reality stars had teamed up to accuse the network of 'covering up sexual violence, condoning revenge porn, exploiting minors and denying mental health treatment'. Bethenny Frankel was believed to have led the charge, though the former RHONY star has since clarified that she is not one of the people who is officially taking legal action against Bravo or NBC.

JoJo Siwa confirms that she does NOT write her own songs as she compares the process to buying clothes versus sewing them JoJo Siwa confirmed that she does not write her own music following claims her latest single, Karma, was 'stolen.' After denying 'stealing' the track, which was released in April, to TMZ, the Dance Moms-star-turned-pop-star, 21, took to TikTok to 'confirm' that she is not responsible for coming up with her lyrics. 'I don't WRITE my songs. I SING them. I have an incredible team of songwriters that write songs and pitch them to me to see if [they] wanna make the song mine!!' she explained in her post. She continued: 'It's kinda like when you buy clothes... you don't "MAKE" it, but it's yours after you buy it! They also ALWAYS get their credit and, of course, their check.' 'I do enjoy the writing process, however for me as an artist that is not my specialty so I like to work with different songwriters to sing their lyrics, add a feeling to it, and ultimately bring the song to life!' the Dancing with the Stars contestant concluded. JoJo Siwa confirmed that she does not write her own music following claims her latest single, Karma, was 'stolen' from Miley Cyrus (seen in 2024) In the video, the Boomerang hitmaker could be seen dancing and lip synching to her upcoming track, Choose Your Fighter, while rocking rainbow face paint across her eyes. 'In the video, the Boomerang hitmaker could be seen dancing and lip synching to her upcoming track, Choose Your Fighter,' she captioned the footage. This comes after Siwa emphatically denied 'stealing' her song, Karma, which was originally recorded by performer Brit Smith. 'Honestly, it's an old song,' the reality star explained. 'I was pitched it. I loved it, was obsessed with it, so I grasped onto it.' Siwa added: 'That's a very normal thing… What happens is, people write songs and then they just don't do anything with them. And then, a few years later, it makes more sense for another artist.' 'I just knew that song was a special song, I knew it was a work of art, and I knew that it fit exactly the vision I wanted to create for the world,' said Siwa. Smith recorded the song and video for 'Karma's a B**ch' with Rock Mafia and Timbaland in 2012 as her scrapped debut single, after Miley Cyrus passed on the track for her third album Can't Be Tamed in 2010. Label execs encouraged her to go with another song, titled Provocative, as her debut in 2013, but the single ultimately underperformed and Smith left the industry. After denying 'stealing' the track, which was released in April, to TMZ, the Dance Moms-star-turned-pop-star, 21, took to TikTok to 'confirm' that she is not responsible for coming up with her lyrics (seen on April 01, 2024) 'I don't WRITE my songs. I SING them. I have an incredible team of songwriters that write songs and pitch them to me to see if [they] wanna make the song mine!!' she explained in her post 'I do enjoy the writing process, however for me as an artist that is not my specialty so I like to work with different songwriters to sing their lyrics, add a feeling to it, and ultimately bring the song to life!' the Dancing with the Stars contestant concluded (seen in 2024) In April, Smith came to Siwa's defense as she filmed a video setting the 'record straight once and for all' about the plagiarism allegations surrounding Karma. 'JoJo did not steal my song,' she said in a TikTok video. 'There's been a lot of talk and a lot of comments and they just keep going, so I just thought let me come on here and hopefully put an end to this.' Smith continued: 'She was totally in the right to record her version, and I hate to see that anybody would think that I'm a part of any kind of bullying or anything like that.' 'I was bullied in high school and I know what that feels like, and I would never want to be thought to be part of any part of that,' she added. 'I just want to make it clear that JoJo has done nothing wrong to me,' she concluded. Meanwhile, Siwa insisted she didn't 'know who Brit Smith is' to TMZ.

TAMPA, Fla. — Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that affects hundreds of thousands yearly. The infection comes from a deer tick bite and though cases are highest in the northeast and upper Midwest, we also see people with the disease here in Florida. LIVING WITH LATE-STAGE LYME DISEASE “I got my PhD in public health at the University of South Florida which was a wonderful experience,” said Tara Foti. With 20 years of experience in health care, Foti scored her dream job working at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California, one of the United States’ leading healthcare providers. “I got to work with a dream mentor and we did really impactful research about substance use during pregnancy,” said Foti. Life was great until she started feeling chronically fatigued and experiencing unbearable physical pain. “I had to request work accommodations to have a flexible schedule,” explained Foti. However, soon, it became clear that she wouldn’t be able to perform at work. So, she moved back to Tampa to be close to family and her established healthcare providers. “So, I got a call from the health department saying, ‘We got your blood work. You are CDC positive with Lyme disease.’ And I was very surprised,” said Foti. She was diagnosed with late-stage neurological Lyme disease in January of 2023, though, she said she doesn’t know how she got it. “And I’m like, ‘Ok, that makes sense.’ I have neurological symptoms,’ said Foti. “‘But what does one do with late-stage neurological Lyme disease?’ And they said, ‘The goal, actually, would just be to keep you comfortable.” HOW TO PREVENT GETTING LYME DISEASE “If there’s ticks there, you have a chance of being bit by those ticks and when you’re bit by those ticks then it can spread the disease,” said George Springer with Spectra Wellness Solutions. I wanted to learn about this disease, which was first identified in Lyme, Connecticut in 1975, and how to prevent getting it. So, I went to Dr. George Springer’s office. He’s an expert on the matter. “What I tell people to do all the time if they want to try and prevent it is if you’ve been out hiking – certainly out in the woods or those areas – is just to do an inspection of each other,” said Dr. Springer. Dr. Springer said you’d be looking for a red spot or rash. If they’re present, it’s important to see a doctor immediately to possibly get started on antibiotics. CONTROLLING THE TICK POPULATION IN FLORIDA “Generally, if somebody has Lyme disease in Florida, it’s because they have been infected from a tick with that bacteria in a different state,” said Dr. Deby Cassill with the University of South Florida. But how common are the ticks that spread Lyme disease in Florida? “So, in Florida, it actually turns out to be really quick common north of, essentially, the I-4 corridor. So, from Tampa working your way northward up to, essentially, Tallahassee,” said Dr. Greg Glass with the University of Florida. Both professors said there aren’t any tick population control programs with high efficacy like we have for mosquitos. “And they can show that they have some effect, but they really don’t have, what we call, a population effect. They don’t really knock the population down to a level that really reduces the risk for the human population,” Dr. Glass. “I will say one thing about Florida, we have fire ants and it turns out that fire ants love to eat juveniles and the eggs of ticks and mites. So, they have become our best friends when it comes to Lyme disease,” said Dr. Cassill THE ROAD AHEAD AND THE FIGHT AGAINST LYME DISEASE As for Foti, well, she still feels fatigued, but she’s recently found a specialist who gives her hope for the future. “He really was the first one that I felt could put the whole picture together, but the trouble with that is he’s not in Tampa. He’s across the state, he’s in Miami, doesn’t take insurance, you know, so this becomes challenging in other ways,” explained Foti. Foti said her family spent nearly $26,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses. The Foti family has a GoFundMe page to help offset the cost.

An allegedly intoxicated speeder landed himself under water after trying to escape from police on Interstate 82. The driver, Nicholas A. Corley, 31, was heading east going about 90 mph when he approached a construction zone about 2 miles outside of Prosser, Washington State Patrol Trooper Sarah Clasen told the Tri-City Herald. A trooper saw Corley speeding in the construction zone and pulled out behind him to stop him. He allegedly didn’t stop, but did lose control and ended up in the Chandler Canal. Corley was able to escape from the car while emergency crews made their way down to the area to check on him, Clasen said. They were able to find him down the river. She said he appeared to be intoxicated. Columbia Basin Dive Rescue was asked to help with attaching towing cables to the vehicle to pull it out. He was arrested on suspicion on eluding police, DUI and driving on a suspended license.

May 31—LAKE ANDES, S.D. — An 18-year-old Lake Andes man has been arrested in connection to a homicide that occurred in Charles Mix County in May. According to the Charles Mix County State's Attorney's Office, Mackenzie Antelope has been charged with first-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter for the May 22 death of 22-year-old Quinlan Ream of Lake Andes. Antelope was additionally charged with aggravated assault against 33-year-old Dylan Oullette of Lake Andes. The incident occurred at the Landing Strip Motel in Lake Andes. According to court documents, Antelope, Ream, and Oullette were all consuming alcohol at the motel on the evening of May 21. According to witnesses, Oullette and Antelope engaged in a verbal altercation, during which Antelope reportedly grabbed a knife. Antelope cautioned Oullette that he would "poke" him if he approached. Subsequently, when Oullette seemingly raised his arms, Antelope proceeded to stab him multiple times. Documents further detail that as Antelope was stabbing Oullette, Ream intervened by jumping onto Antelope's back. Consequently, Antelope redirected his attack towards Ream, stabbing him as well. Oullette managed to escape and went across the street to the Gus Stop gas station, where an employee called 911. Reports from witnesses regarding the presence of a red car parked outside the motel room directed authorities to Antelope's grandmother's residence. Although Antelope initially denied being present at the motel during the stabbing, authorities linked him to the crime scene by matching the pattern on the sandals he wore during the interview to footprints discovered inside the crime scene. During his initial interrogation by authorities, Oullette initially claimed that he had passed out drunk and awakened to an unidentified individual stabbing him. However, in a subsequent interview, Oullette identified Antelope as his assailant. The South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, along with Yankton Sioux Tribal Police and the Charles Mix County Sheriff's Office, worked together to apprehend Antelope. "This case is a prime example of Tribal, State, and County governments working together," Charles Mix County State's Attorney Steve Cotton said in a statement on Friday, May 31. "Due to this collaborative effort law enforcement officers from multiple agencies were able to act swiftly in order to protect the public." Antelope is currently being held at the Charles Mix County Jail on a $500,000 bond and will have an initial court appearance next week. If convicted, a Class A felony such as first-degree murder, carries a penalty of life in prison and can be subject to the death penalty.

May 31—PRESTON, Minn. — Three students from Winona Middle School were injured in a school bus rollover crash on Friday, May 31, 2024. The sixth-grade class was on a field trip to Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park when one of the buses "ended up on its side" on 212th Street near Preston, according to Winona Area Public Schools Communications Coordinator John Casper and Fillmore County Sheriff John DeGeorge. Thirty-five students and four adults were on the bus. Casper said the class is about 150 to 200 students, though not all students attended the field trip. The three students injured were transported to Mayo Clinic Hospital-Saint Marys with "minor injuries." The students on the bus were transported in vans to Winona Middle School where parents can pick up their children. Casper said students also had "some bumps and bruises" which were treated at the crash scene. "We are grateful for the immediate and compassionate response of Fillmore County law enforcement," the district wrote in a message to families. "Safety is our top priority, and we are thankful for all the individuals who work together to keep our students and staff safe." DeGeorge said the right side tires of the bus likely "drove off the gravel road in an area with a steep shoulder, causing the bus to tip" on its side around 10:11 a.m. Friday. The crash is under investigation. The Minnesota State Patrol will inspect the bus, according to Sgt. Troy Christianson. The Fillmore County Sheriff's Office, Wykoff Fire Department, Spring Valley Ambulance, Spring Valley Fire Department and Preston Emergency Services responded to the crash. As of 1 p.m. Friday, students are arriving at Winona Middle School. The last day of school for Winona Middle and High School students is Thursday, June 6. "When we send out messages, I always try to give parents resources to deal with it because this can be a scary situation, even if you just hear about it," Casper said. "(My kids) heard about it and they were alarmed just because they take school buses for field trips. The site that we like to use is the National Association of School Psychologists. (It) has a lot of great resources for parents talking about situations like this with their kids. I'd just say check in with your kids even if you don't go to Winona Middle School or Winona Area Public Schools. Just the thought of a school bus getting into an accident, it's a good way to check in with kids and make sure they're OK." Below is the message Winona Area Public Schools shared with families: Hello families, This morning, a bus taking Winona Middle School sixth-grade students on a field trip to Mystery Cave and Forestville State Park was involved in an accident on a Fillmore County highway. The bus ended up on its side. Three students were transported by ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester. The families of the three students have been contacted by either law enforcement or school administration. Other students and staff who received minor injuries were treated on site. Ready Bus Company, which provided the buses for the field trip, sent another bus to take students back to the middle school. Some students were understandably not comfortable getting back on a bus, and alternate forms of transportation were being arranged to return them safely back to Winona Middle School. Students and staff were waiting in a safe space away from the road. Families who would like to pick up their 6th grade middle school student early may do so by contacting the attendance secretary at 507-494-1030. We are grateful for the immediate and compassionate response of Fillmore County law enforcement. Safety is our top priority, and we are thankful for all the individuals who work together to keep our students and staff safe. This is a traumatic experience for the students involved in the event and for those who witnessed it. It can also be unsettling for students who hear about it. Please check in with your child throughout the weekend to see if they need help processing what happened. The National Association of School Psychologists has many great resources for parents. This resource provides tips for discussing school violence, but many of the same strategies are applicable to this situation. Again, we want to thank Fillmore County law enforcement and the emergency first responders for their immediate and compassionate response to help our students and staff during a scary situation. Thank you, Winona Area Public Schools

A Bowie teenager was killed in a three-vehicle crash Friday in Clay County, according to a media release from the Texas Department of Public Safety. In addition, a Fort Worth man was injured in the wreck just after noon on U.S. Highway 287, about a quarter mile south of Bellevue. A 2020 Volvo truck-tractor towing a 2016 CIMC semi-trailer was stopped on the right shoulder of the highway when a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu failed to drive in a single lane, according to allegations in a DPS preliminary investigation. The Malibu struck the back end of the Volvo truck-tractor, spun clockwise in the travel lane and then struck the trailer of a 2017 Freightliner truck-tractor towing a 2008 JLTL semi-trailer. The Malibu came to rest across both southbound lanes. The 16-year-old passenger in the Malibu was pronounced dead at the scene from injuries sustained in the wreck. She was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The DPS will not release the name of minors involved in the crash, according to the media release. The agency cited department policy and courtesy to the families of those involved. So the name of the 16-year-old who died was not available from the DPS on Friday. Donald Anthony Shelton Jr., 47, of Houston was driving the Volvo truck-tractor and was not injured. He was wearing a seatbelt. James Clifton McGlothlin, 48, of Fort Worth was the driver of the Malibu. He suffered incapacitating injuries in the crash and was transported to Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth. McGlothlin was not wearing a seatbelt. Matthew Gavin Lowe, 45, of Decatur, Alabama, was driving the Freightliner truck-tractor. He was not injured. Lowe was wearing a seatbelt. The posted speed limit was 70. This article originally appeared on Wichita Falls Times Record News: Crash on U.S. Highway 287 takes life of teen

May 31—Three judges from northeast Oklahoma have been assigned to preside over the cases against Pittsburg County Sheriff Chris Morris, with prosecutors filing two new felony charges. Morris, 50, was charged May 14 with a felony count of embezzlement of state property in connection with the alleged sale of a UTV to the Pittsburg County Sheriff's Department, a move investigators say personally benefited him. Court records show two additional felony charges of bribery by public official were filed Friday against Morris. In the first count, Morris is accused of receiving a discount for a lift kit on a personal side-by-side in exchange for up charging repair invoices on sheriff patrol vehicles. The second count involves hail damage being repaired for free on a personal vehicle owned by Morris "in exchange for his promise to provide future business" from his department for future repairs. Pittsburg County Commissioners voted May 20 to file a document titled "Accusation for removal of sheriff of Pittsburg County, Christopher Morris, by the Pittsburg County Board of County Commissioners." The petition alleged that Morris willfully and habitually, "with bad or evil purpose," neglected the duties of his office by acting in "an inexcusably reckless manner." Court documents filed Friday show the hearing for the petition is currently set for the July trial docket at the Pittsburg County Courthouse. All Pittsburg County District Judges recused themselves from the case with Kelly Hake, the presiding judge for the East Central Judicial Administrative District given the task of assigning judges to the two cases. To serve as magistrate judge in the criminal case, Hake assigned Cherokee County Special Judge Jerry Moore. Serving as district judge in the criminal case is Wagoner County District Judge Douglas Kirkley. Creek County Associate District Judge Laura Farris was assigned by Hake to preside over the petition to remove Morris. District 27 District Attorney Jack Thorp, who is prosecuting the criminal case against Morris, will represent the commissioners during the removal proceedings. He also signed the petition. Morris is represented in both cases by the McAlester-based law firm Gotcher and Beaver. Morris in statements has said the truth will come out and said politics was behind the criminal charge filed against him. The sheriff also said he was disappointed in the Board's decision "after only hearing one side of the story." "I've done nothing wrong, and I am concentrating on winning the election June 18 and my day in court. The sheriff is elected by the people, the people elected me and the people should be the only ones to be able to remove me. Whether it's by trial or election!" No additional hearings in the criminal cases have been scheduled as of Friday afternoon. As of now, all hearings will be held in Pittsburg County.

It’s not often students get to spend a school day riding rollercoasters at an amusement park. But it’s all in the name of science. “We’re thrilled to marry the concept of an amusement park and education,” said Bob Williams, the general manager of Calaway Park. Around 1,900 Calgary high school students were at the park on Friday for a physics and science day – a hands-on lesson featuring rollercoasters and other rides. It’s a partnership between the park, located just west of Calgary, and the University of Calgary, that gives students a chance to earn a mini degree in “rollercoasterology.” “We wrote (a) curriculum on physics and science, workbooks, that students can use to mix science and physics and fun all in one day,” Williams said. The booklet is filled with questions based on rides in the park, with students needing to use their skills in math, science and physics to get the answers. “Our rollercoaster, the vortex rollercoaster, when you go up the chain and the chain releases you, you are gravity fed. There’s no engine driving the coaster. So, it’s all based on physics that is does the two loops where you go upside down and then come into the station where it brakes. That’s all gravity and that’s physics,” explained Williams. “I feel that’s a real good way to show that the stuff that we learn in school is very applicable in everyday life,” said Zana, one of the students at the park. The science and physics day at Calaway Park has been running for over 10 years.

It’s a way to honour a fallen fellow biker; a memorial ride organized by family and friends. “Usually when we do a group ride like this, a lot of people are impatient. Today when they see the coffin, they’ll understand what we’re really doing and understand we’re out here for a good cause,” said James Fiddy. Fiddy is one of many bikers who took to the road on Wednesday to honour the life of his friend Chris Wills. To break away from a traditional hearse, his coffin was carried by a motorcycle. “You should be celebrating the life that they lived. Myself, if I could be on my motorcycle 24/7, I would,” said Brad Chalcraft, owner of One Last Ride Ltd. Chalcraft bought the hearse a few years ago from Ontario. He saw it as a unique way to give bikers one last ride. So far, he said the reaction on the road has been positive. “Even driving down the highway, people are taking pictures, videos. It’s just kind of a shocking look when you see it. It’s not something you see every day,” said Chalcraft. It’s a final farewell, but for Chris’s wife Kristy McGregor, it is so much more. “I wasn’t riding with him when he passed, so for me it’s my last ride with my love,” she said. Chris is remembered by his family and friends as caring, full of integrity and a philanthropist. He died in late April, in a motorcycle crash on Highway 21 and Highway 16, on his way to collect charity donations. “There’s always purpose in our rides and the purpose is always doing good things,” McGregor said. “That’s what my husband would have wanted.”

A former Knox County sheriff charged in connection with the death of a 1-year-old child in a wreck in Wichita County was granted lower bail. Michael Lloyd Carlson, 64, testified Friday in 78th District Court he could not come up with the $30,000 it would take to arrange his $300,000 bond. Carlson was jailed on a manslaughter charge on April 22, 2024, in connection with a wreck on May 17, 2023, on U.S. Highway 287 northwest of Electra. Carlson was still being held Friday evening in the Wichita County Jail, according to online jail records. According to allegations in affidavits, Carlson was driving at an unreasonable speed at the time of the collision and not looking out for traffic controls. The Texas Department of Public Safety said traffic was being diverted from the main highway to U.S. Business Highway 287 due to another wreck shutting down the northbound lanes. Carlson's pickup was traveling in the left northbound lane, and approaching the detour, the pickup had to move into the right-hand lane, according to allegations. The driver didn't see an SUV in the right-hand lane that was stopping because of slowed traffic. The pickup struck the SUV in the rear, causing it to slam into the utility box trailer of a truck ahead of it. Two women and two children in the SUV were injured. Aveline Hill, 1, was taken to a Fort Worth hospital where she died the following day. Carlson, of Truscott, formerly served as a deputy sheriff and sheriff in Knox County. He was on probation on a deadly conduct charge in Knox County when the wreck occurred. In that incident, Carlson is accused of firing several shots into a camper trailer, wounding one man. A pair of law enforcement officers testified on Carlson’s behalf as did his wife. Judge Meredith Kennedy agreed to lower Carlson’s bail to $150,000 on the condition he stay in Knox County and abide by other restrictions.

Flowers are accumulating outside the home of a Vernon, B.C., woman who died earlier this week. Kaylee Bannister, 32, lived along the 5500 block of Heritage Drive until Tuesday, when she died in what are officially undisclosed circumstances. RCMP said only that there was a woman’s death and there was no known risk to the public when asked Wednesday about a significant police presence in an otherwise quiet neighbourhood. On Friday, they still had little to offer, but a makeshift memorial in Bannister’s driveway has seen flowers and notes with the words Justice4Kaylee. Those offerings to the mother of a 12-year-old and a six-month-old speak to the nature of the investigation police have embarked upon. Global News reached out to Bannister’s friends. To date, only one was willing to speak, but under the condition of anonymity due to safety concerns. “I’m pretty heartbroken. I have my moments of rage where I’m angry,” said the friend, who knew Bannister for the better part of a decade. She believes Bannister was killed in a situation that she’s advocated for others to escape: Domestic violence. Police have not confirmed this. “She was loved by many. She lit up any room she would walk into, she had a heart of gold,” the friend said. Witness of deadly Ontario boat crash says it was a matter of ‘when, not if’ Chad Daybell found guilty of killing ex-wife and 2nd wife’s kids Ontario cold case: DNA technology helps solve woman’s murder 25 years later, police say Montreal billionaire Robert Miller arrested on sex charges involving 10 victims “She would give the shirt off her back if she had to. Her kids and her dog were her life.” The friend said that Bannister’s case is evidence that “the justice system needs to do better.” “She didn’t deserve to die the way she died,” the friend said. “She deserves every bit of justice and our justice system needs to show that.” Angela Marie MacDougall, the executive director of Battered Women’s Support Services in Vancouver, said it’s another sad example of an “epidemic of violence against women in B.C., but also Canada.” “We know that one in three women have experienced domestic violence, and, of that, there is a significant portion who are at risk of lethal violence,” MacDougall said. Women in abusive relationships are at heightened risk when they leave, when they’re pregnant and in the early months of mothering, something they’ve noticed through their crisis lines in the Vancouver area. And, she pointed out, it’s not looking better in the North Okanagan. “Just last week we were discussing another killing of a woman within the vicinity of the greater Vernon area,” MacDougall said. “There have been far too many femicides here this year. We know that domestic violence and intimate partner violence is not a policy priority right now, for the province of British Columbia.” MacDougall said there is a provincial action plan on gender-based violence that, at the moment, doesn’t highlight domestic intimate partner violence as a priority for this first year. That, she said, needs to change. “Right now femicides in British Columbia aren’t registering on the provincial government at all, unfortunately,” she said. “We have what is certainly a serious social problem of which femicide — or the killing of a woman by a partner, current or ex — should basically be alarming to any of us out there. “For every woman who is killed, we know that there are thousands more who are living in fear.” MacDougall said there needs to be bigger and more thoroughly funded community-based interventions.

MINNEAPOLIS — Jamal Mitchell's friends remember him as a changemaker. His family knew him to be a peacekeeper. The 38-year-old Minneapolis police officer was determined to make the city a better place for all its residents. " had a big heart," said his mother, Janet Edwards. "He really loved people." Mitchell was killed in a in the Whittier neighborhood of south Minneapolis on Thursday evening that left two others dead, including the shooter. Four people were injured. Police say he was trying to provide medical care to someone when that person shot him. He died later at the hospital. His parents said getting the call that their son died doing what he loved was a shock, but at the same time, it wasn't. "It was a career that he wanted to pursue, and he chose that," said his stepfather, Dennis Edwards. "Like they say, he never turned away from people, helping people, or being there to serve with people." Mitchell grew up in New Haven, Connecticut; one of 12 children in a blended family. He had a twin, Jamel, but he was the quieter of the two. His parents said he was the peacekeeper of the family. "He always had a positive attitude about everything. He was never negative," said Janet Edwards. "He would always turn that around and make it better for everyone." Janet and Dennis Edwards say Mitchell was proud to wear the uniform. He wanted to change community-police relations. Mitchell was a regular at Lotus Restaurant in Loring Park, where he quickly became a favorite of all who worked there. "He had that sense of humor and that human factor to him that's easily approachable," said Yoom Nguyen with Lotus Restaurant. "He goes above and beyond, if that makes sense. You know you could count on him." Now, an empty chair sits where Mitchell once enjoyed his favorite meal. Nguyen said Mitchell made sure people hanging outside the restaurant were treated with dignity and respect by connecting them with the resources to improve their lives. Civil Rights activist Michael Wilson says MPD needs more officers like Mitchell. "He wanted to make change. True change," Wilson said. "We talked a lot about these changes." Wilson said his bravery, compassion, and love of people will be remembered. Mitchell's parents want people to never forget their son's sacrifice. "I'm grateful that he went, that he did his job," said Janet Edwards. "I want to say, 'well done Jamal. Well done, well done.' I'm proud that he was my son." Mitchell was a father of three: two boys and one girl. He was a fiancé, a brother, an uncle, and a dear friend to many.

Alberta’s police watchdog is investigating after a pregnant woman was given prescribed medication in cells then taken to hospital, where she lost her baby. Officers found the woman the next morning, on May 13, appearing to be having seizures. It says an examination at the Lloydminster Hospital in Saskatchewan determined the woman was pregnant. She had an emergency C-section, and the baby was delivered but died a few hours later. The woman had been arrested four days earlier on outstanding warrants and was waiting for a court appearance. The response team says it will examine the conduct of police, including the circumstances surrounding the woman’s arrest and her time in custody.

Regina’s Newo Yotina Friendship Centre, which includes a supervised injection site, sent out a public warning following recent drug overdoses in the city. Using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) machine, the friendship centre tests samples of street drugs in Regina as part of its harm reduction. Recently, they have tested substances containing fentanyl, xylazine and benzodiazepines. “There’s been some stuff going around that’s been dropping a lot of people,” said Emile Gariepy, the friendship centre’s harm reduction manager. “We’ve had many overdoses around on the streets and the safe injection site as well, too. It’s been busy the last little while.” Gariepy calls it a potent mixture that Narcan can’t always reverse. “Xylazine is the animal sedative or tranquilizer (that) we’re noticing more than fentanyl,” he said. “About 95 per cent of all fentanyl has Xylazine right now.” Gariepy encourages local residents to test their drugs to avoid any more drug overdoses. Although none of them have been fatal, he said it’s always a risk when using. “Our message with our harm reduction is just know what you used before. Know what you’re taking, know what’s inside of your drugs and use them safely,” he said. “We have places for you to use it safely, and we have our FTIR drug-checking machine to check what’s inside of it and to give you the education that you need to use and safely as well, too.” Regina Fire Chief Layne Jackson said crews have responded to 14 overdose incidents in the last week. They have seen a higher frequency of reports in the inner city and Regina’s city centre.

May 31—LIMA — A Lima man pleaded guilty Friday in the Allen County Common Pleas Court to one count of rape, a first-degree felony. The plea deal for Anthony Elliott, 74, included removing the language in the charge that said the victim was under 10 years old and dismissing the additional charges of rape; public indecency, a third-degree misdemeanor; and gross sexual imposition, a third-degree felony. Judge Terri Kohlrieser will sentence Elliott on June 27. A prison sentence is mandatory for the charge. The state recommended a seven-year minimum prison sentence, and Kohlrieser has the option of sentencing him anywhere between three to 11 years. Elliott will also have to register as a tier-III sex offender for the rest of his life. Reach Charlotte Caldwell at 567-242-0451.

Police say they arrested 14 people at a protest blocking a railway line in East Vancouver on Friday. About 100 people had gathered at the Canadian National Railway crossing at Kaslo Street and Grandview Highway late Friday morning in support of Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In a media release, police said the demonstrators refused orders to clear the road and tracks, and alleged some protesters became “hostile” with police. Video from the scene showed police forming a line and directing protesters to “step back” from the rail line. When protesters refused, police then advanced into the crowd and arrested several people as scuffles broke out. “Unlawful protests that block vital infrastructure put peoples’ safety at risk,” Const. Tania Visintin said. “Our officers worked quickly, with help from CN Police and Metro Vancouver Transit Police, to prevent a prolonged blockade on the train tracks and to keep traffic moving.” Police said they aimed to recommend mischief charges against the 14 people arrested at the scene.

Jody Wade is a free man as far as Wichita County is concerned. On Friday, 78th District Court Judge Meredith Kennedy granted the former wrecker-truck business operator early release from probation related to hindering a secured creditor. Wade had pleaded guilty in 2022 to charges he tried to remove the bed of a heavy-duty wrecker truck that was listed as collateral against an outstanding loan and received three years of probation, deferred adjudication. That kind of community supervision allows a person to avoid a conviction on his record if he successfully serves his probation. The case was one of several legal skirmishes the one-time high-profile and controversial businessman encountered in Wichita Falls. He has previously been charged with DWI, public intoxication and for unlawfully carrying a firearm. Wade was arrested in Washington, D.C., in 2020 after a bike police officer making a sweep in advance of former President Donald Trump’s motorcade noticed Wade’s ankle monitor. A weapon was found in Wade's vehicle. Wade testified Friday he was not aware he had crossed into the District of Columbia, which has strict gun laws. “It was kind of funny but not really,” he said. He spent more than a month behind bars for that incident. Wade, who has admitted to problems with alcohol, told the court Friday he was remorseful for his actions. Defense attorney Dustin Nimz told Kennedy that Wade had paid all fees and restitutions as required. Wade is no longer in the wrecker business and now lives in Young County. Kennedy terminated the probation after Wade tested clean Friday for alcohol and drugs. Before he became mired in legal problems, Wade had held an exclusive contract for the city of Wichita Falls towing needs from 2013 to 2018.

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday filed a new indictment against Robert Krop, a co-owner of The Machine Gun Nest, alleging that he conspired with Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins to illegally acquire machine guns. Krop was originally indicted alongside Jenkins in April 2023. On May 3, 2024, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher dismissed without prejudice the charges against Krop after she found that his right to a speedy trial had been violated. In a May 21 court filing, prosecutors wrote that the statute of limitations on the dismissed charges would not expire until six months from the order of dismissal, allowing the federal government to file a new indictment against Krop as long as its attorneys did so before Nov. 3. In her order dismissing the original indictment against Krop, Gallagher agreed to hold his Oct. 15 trial date for three weeks while prosecutors decided whether to file a new indictment. Three days before the deadline in Gallagher's order of dismissal, federal prosecutors requested a one-week extension. On May 24, Gallagher denied the prosecutors' request for an extension because it was filed in the form of an informal letter, rather than as a motion, and because the request was made too late. The new indictment filed on Wednesday lists the same five charges against Krop that were in the indictment that was previously dismissed, including one count of conspiracy to violate federal laws regarding machine guns, three counts of making false statements and one count of illegal possession of machine guns. In the new indictment, prosecutors allege that Krop and Jenkins conspired "to acquire machine guns by means of fraud and materially false statements and representations and to rent those machine guns to private citizens in exchange for money." Dan Cox, an attorney who is representing Krop in the conspiracy case, could not immediately be reached for comment on Friday afternoon. When reached by phone on Friday, Angelina Thompson, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland, said there had been no scheduling order in the new case against Krop. Jenkins’ trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 27, 2025. It is expected to take seven days. The cases against both Jenkins and Krop center on a series of "law letters" in which Jenkins requested demonstrations of machine guns that Krop would not have otherwise been able to acquire. At the time, The Machine Gun Nest held a license that allowed the business to import, transfer and possess machine guns for the purpose of providing demonstrations to law enforcement agencies or military branches looking to purchase the weapons for use in their official duties. Federal prosecutors allege that, despite Jenkins' statements that the Sheriff's Office wanted a demonstration of the machine guns for purposes of "evaluation and familiarization," he never actually requested a demonstration from Krop. Instead, prosecutors wrote in the new indictment, "Krop had requested the letter so that he could acquire the machineguns and rent them to customers." Prosecutors wrote that in 2018 and 2019 alone, The Machine Gun Nest collected over $100,000 in profits from renting out the machine guns. Prosecutors say the conspiracy began in August 2015 and lasted until May 2022. Krop has previously stated in court filings that he contacted Jenkins in an attempt to set up demonstrations of the machine guns for the Sheriff's Office.

Throughout her diving career, Margo Erlam knows what it’s like to take a leap of faith. Moving provinces from her hometown of Calgary to Saskatoon at 16 years old, Erlam joined a new diving club and community with few previous connections all in the hopes of bettering her training in the pool. Erlam is one of five athletes who will be wearing the maple leaf in diving at the 2024 Olympics, meeting the Olympic standard in the three-metre springboard at the Canadian trials earlier this month in Windsor, Ont., to achieve a dream that’s been in the back of her mind since her earliest days in the pool. “That was probably one of the most emotional days I’ve had in my career,” said Erlam. “It was something special, I knew when I hit the water that I had done it. This is something that I’ve been working for my whole life.” It was an emotional moment for her Saskatoon-based coach Mary Carroll as well, knowing the path that it took for Erlam to reach the Olympic level. “I couldn’t be more proud and pleased with Margo,” said Carroll. “She’s had a little bit of a rough go, shoulder surgery and the whole bit. She’s come back really strong and it was a Cinderella story.” With the Paris Games looming, Team Canada has taken their training camp out west for the first time with practice sessions at the Shaw Centre in Saskatoon. It’s a rare chance to train at home for Erlam, Carroll and Pike Lake product Rylan Wiens. “I know the Olympics is a dream come true but this is a pre-Olympic dream come true,” said Wiens. “We don’t often get to have those people from Montreal come out here and train in our facility other than at competition.” “I was excited Sunday night, coming in Monday morning just like a kid going to his first day of school.” Joining Wiens and Erlam in the Saskatoon pool were Wiens’ synchro teammate Nathan Zsombor-Murray, along with women’s national team members Caeli McKay and Kate Miller. Pending official selection by the Canadian Olympic Committee, Wiens will be off to his second Olympics after representing Canada at the 2020 Tokyo Games. In the three years since the Tokyo Olympics were held, Wiens has become one of Canada’s top medal threats with the national record in the men’s platform and a pair of silver medals won at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. “Rylan, compared to his first go-around at the Olympics, he was a boy and now he is a man,” said Carroll. “That’s the biggest difference I see. Technically and competitively he’s matured, he’s showed that he has medal potential.” Wiens will be getting a much different Olympic experience this time around, as the postponed 2020 Tokyo Games were riddled by COVID-19 protocols and zero fans in attendance. Meanwhile, he will be aiming to improve on his 19th place showing in the 10-metre platform. “Since the Olympics I’ve been travelling to every international competition doing well,” said Wiens. “Medalling here and there, really showing everyone that I deserve to be there and deserve to be fighting for a medal. I’m three years older, three years more experienced, three years more confident.” It’s a historic year for Saskatchewan’s diving community with two of the five national team slots belonging to athletes from the province, emblematic of the talent coming out of Saskatoon and Regina according to Carroll. “It says a lot if we’re saying 40 per cent of the team is from Saskatoon, that’s huge,” said Carroll. “Rylan was the only one not from Montreal last time, so it’s a statement.” Before wrapping up their Saskatoon portion of the training camp, Team Canada members met with young divers from the Saskatoon Diving Club on Thursday night to answer questions and form connections with the next generation of national athletes. “They can see that you don’t need to live in Montreal to be able to go to the Olympics,” said Erlam. “You can follow in the path that Rylan and I have done, we stayed in the west and we’ve made it this far. So I think it’s very inspiring for them.” Diving competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics will begin on July 27 with the Canadian Olympic Committee expected to formalize the team in the coming weeks.

May 31—BLUFFTON — If all goes as planned, a new Heritage Center will adorn the grounds of the Swiss Community Historical Society's Old Schumaker Homestead by the time the annual Bluffton Fall Festival rolls around on the last weekend of September. That $1 million plan, however, hinges exclusively on the support of corporate and individual donors, who thus far have provided approximately 80% of the funding necessary to transform a barn built in the 1850s into an educational/cultural center to display artifacts and advance the history of Swiss settlers in Allen and Putnam counties. In 2019 the historical society's board of directors, with their collective eyes on the future, purchased the barn from descendants of Peter Bixel Jr. It was a structure that had stood along Phillips Road for 170 years. The board's vision was to have the barn dismantled, piece-by-piece, and then re-constructed at the Schumacher historical site at 8350 Bixel Road — some two miles down the road from the barn's longtime home. Five years years later the project is nearing completion. Following a ground-breaking ceremony in August of 2023 crews began the task of reassembling hand-hewn oak beams taken from the Bixel barn. By mid-November the structure was under roof, with window and door framing and other tasks being completed. Earlier this year new flooring was installed, a heating system was installed and bathroom walls were framed. Work continues today, but funds are running short. Board member Jeff Althaus, who along with Seth Bixel serve as project managers for the Heritage Center, this week said initial estimates for the project set the cost for the center at $850,000. Mandated additions, many of which focused on requirements contained in the Americans With Disabilities Act, boosted the cost to more than $1 million. Gary Wetherill, president of the historical society board, expressed his appreciation to donors whose contributions have made the project possible. "This project turned out to be a little bigger than we thought it would be, but it is being financed totally by donations. A town of 4,500 people (Bluffton) really stepped up for us," he said. Additional funding is still needed, and Wetherill is confident it will be secured. "There are quite a few followers of this project who played in that old barn as kids and who have said they are looking forward to seeing it again. I think there is some entity out there — be it corporate or an individual — that is happy that this barn is being saved and will step up." "We're the best kept secret in Ohio," Althaus said of the not-for-profit historical society, "and our pocketbook is about empty." The repurposed barn when finally compete will be heated and air-conditioned and will include a large event space, classroom, artifact storage space and public restrooms. "We don't want it to be a full-blown event center, but we will gladly open the barn for people who want to hold reunions and similar gatherings," said Wetherill.

A dog is back home safe after running away, having embarked on a 10-day long journey traveling from Washington state to Canada on foot. Just 30 minutes after being adopted by his new owners, Barley ran away from his home in Tonasket, Wash., embarking on a 10-day, over 100-kilometre-long journey from Tonasket crossing the border to Penticton. “That is an incredible distance to travel. He’s lucky he didn’t get clipped or have something more dangerous happen to him,” said Jacenda Byer, Petra’s Pawdicures owner, who assisted with the rescue. Following multiple sightings on social media, Rita Kessell, a dog rescuer based in the U.S., made contact with Barley during his trip to Canada, but she came up short. “That dog, the night before he moved into Canada, he absolutely would not go in the trap, and I was using a different trap from the local sheriff’s department; it was a longer trap. He still would not go in it,” said Kessell. Once Barley made it into Canada, he was spotted in Penticton’s Sage Mesa area. “I did see a post it was 15 or 20 minutes old that he was right near me I happened to be near there,” said Darren Sweet, who assisted with the rescue. Byer, who is from Kelowna, was called in to help trap Barley, who used her dog Petra to lure him in. “We let Petra go back and forth on the side of me with my friend, and he started to relax. He saw she was happy,” said Byer. Barley’s fears eased and Byer finally got ahold of him. “We finally got him on (a) lead. We picked ticks off him, I rubbed his belly — he’s the most gentle boy,” said Byer. Barley was treated for exhaustion and some leg pain, and he has since been picked up by his owners. They told Global News he’s doing well back home in Tonasket.

May 31—VALDOSTA — Former President Donald Trump has a long history of popularity in Lowndes County, and the chief of the county's Republican Party organization doesn't see that changing in the wake of Trump's conviction. Trump was found guilty Thursday by a jury in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal another crime, specifically paying "hush money" to porn actress Stormy Daniels to keep voters from finding out about an alleged sexual affair between them. "Those charges were, to use a phrase, 'trumped-up,' " said Gary McMillan, chairman of the Lowndes County Republican Party. "He didn't do anything wrong. This was a political act, not criminal." The conviction would have no effect on this November's presidential race, in which Trump is a candidate, McMillan said. The county GOP leader said his own vote in November — for Trump — would not be changed. McMillan also said he expects Lowndes County's vote to go to Trump this November. "That's because we're predominantly a Republican county." In the 2016 presidential race, when Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Republican candidate carried the county with 25,692 voters, or 57.9% of the electorate, while Clinton took only 14,614 votes, or 39.7% of voters. Trump won the presidency that year. In the 2020 race, Trump carried Lowndes again with 25,692 votes, or 55%, while Democrat Joe Biden took 20,116 votes, or 44%. Trump lost the presidency that year, but has never admitted defeat. During the 2016 election, Trump visited Valdosta, addressing a rally at Valdosta State University's P.E. Complex. The removal of several Black people from the rally caused accusations of racism nationwide, which the Trump camp and Valdosta's then-Police Chief Brian Childress denied. In December 2020, not long after losing the 2020 presidential election to Biden, Trump again visited Valdosta to back state GOP candidates in runoff races. Terry Richards is the senior reporter for The Valdosta Daily Times.

The controversial tiny homes community for the homeless in Kelowna, B.C., was officially opened this week. Announced last November, STEP Place took North End residents and businesses by surprise when the city and province announced the housing project for the 700 block of Crowley Avenue. The site — which began accepting residents earlier this year — features 60 single-room units. It’s also located across from the homeless camp along the Okanagan Rail Trail. According to the city, STEP Place will provide “a safe, stable environment,” where residents “will receive the support they need to prepare for and find more permanent homes.” “For those who have experienced the uncertainties and challenges associated with homelessness, the act of moving into STEP Place signifies far more than a change of location,” said city spokesperson Colleen Cornock. “It is the start of a new chapter in their lives and will act as a springboard towards brighter, more stable, futures.” The site is fenced, with the city noting it has on-site staffing plus security monitoring 24 hours a day. STEP stands for Supported Transitional Housing with Embedded Programming. The site is run by the John Howard Society and offers programs and numerous services. The city says the site’s lease with BC Housing is for a decade. Also Friday, the city announced that move-in day has arrived for controversial homeless housing project. Trailside, which is located along Highway 97 North, features 60 individual living spaces. The site is fenced and is focused on seniors and those with disabilities. “Trailside and STEP Place align with council priorities around homelessness,” said the city, “including advocating for wrap-around supports and graduated housing options.”

Military life often means moving every few years. It’s a requirement that can get expensive for military families. Now, they are a step closer to getting more help to cover the cost of housing. A measure to restore the monthly housing stipend back to 100 percent recently passed a key House committee. Amy Shick knows firsthand about the expenses facing military families. Her husband serves in the U.S. Army, and they live near Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington State. It’s an area of the country that, like so many others, has had skyrocketing housing costs. “Inflation has hit our economy really hard and military families are feeling it,” said Shick. Shick is a board member of the Military Family Advisory Network (MFAN). The group has been pushing for years to help military families keep up with rising costs. A big focus is on the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). It is based on the location, level of service in the military, and whether there are dependents. In 2019, BAH was lowered to cover 95 percent of housing costs down from 100 percent, leaving military families with higher out-of-pocket expenses. “Our BAH dollars have not caught up and so our spending power is a lot less, which means it can turn into a financial hardship for military families,” said Shick. But this month, there was progress in the House to restore BAH. The House Armed Services Committee passed H.R. 8070, the FY25 Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes the measure to restore BAH to 100%. Our Washington News Bureau spoke with Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-WA), who has been leading the effort to help fully restore BAH in the House. “We know it is long overdue,” said Strickland. “Restoring it to 100% is one way to put a couple hundred dollars a month back into the pockets of families who are serving our country.” Shick says the move is critical to help families. “This just gives military families some more breathing room financially. These moves are just very expensive,” said Shick. The next step in the process is for the full House to vote on the measure. That could happen as soon as early-mid June. “Basic housing is a fundamental right that all people have especially those who are serving our country,” said Strickland.

A man was arrested at Frederick County Public School's central offices Thursday, in what he said was an effort to raise awareness of the county Board of Education's elimination of a virtual learning program Wednesday. Adam Carter-Campbell was charged with one misdemeanor count of trespassing at a public agency and released on his own recognizance, according to online court records. Carter-Campbell said Friday that he was trying to bring attention to the Board of Education's elimination of the school system's Remote Virtual Program as part of efforts to balance its fiscal year 2025 budget. The program, which serves children who are unable to learn efficiently in a typical classroom environment or who prefer to complete their schooling online, was eliminated for students in grades 3 through 8, but remains in place for high school students. Carter-Campbell said a child he knows attends the RVP program and has benefited enormously from it. The boy was being bullied and distracted at his normal school, which was affecting his performance, he said. “It just wasn't working well,” Carter-Campbell said. Since entering the program, the boy's grades have improved tremendously, he said. Carter-Campbell said he entered the vestibule of the building on East Street Thursday and sat down. When an official asked if he had any business to conduct at the building, Carter-Campbell said he replied that he did not. After police were called, he was arrested by an officer from the Frederick Police Department. In an emailed statement Friday, FCPS spokesman Eric Louérs-Phillips wrote, “Yesterday, an individual entered the vestibule of our Central Office and sat down without attempting to enter the building or communicate with FCPS staff. Despite multiple attempts to offer assistance and requests to leave, they did not respond. After exhausting all options, Frederick City Police were contacted and the individual was arrested for trespassing.” Carter-Campbell said being arrested definitely wasn't fun, but he felt like he had to do something. “I was just trying to raise awareness, I guess,” he said.

May 31—Esther Marks is a senior at Mead Hall Episcopal School who has received a full ride scholarship to a private South Carolina university. Marks received the Griffith Scholarship, which will allow her to attend Presbyterian College with all expenses paid. She was additionally accepted into Furman University, Wingate University, Winthrop University, Bryn Mawr College and Davidson College. "I was really happy to get into those colleges too," Marks said. At Presbyterian, Marks plans to study biology on the pre-medical track with a dream of becoming a doctor. The Griffith Scholarship is Presbyterian's most prestigious award, given each year to two high school seniors. The scholarship is by invitation exclusively, meaning that only select students are asked to apply. "It felt really great," Marks said about learning she'd received a full ride. "I was very excited, because it takes a lot of pressure off, not having to worry about which student loans you're going to have to take, and it makes a lot of the decision making easier." Marks has been attending Mead Hall since 5k. "I think this school has definitely given me a place where I can just stand out a lot, it gives a lot of opportunities for me to lead certain groups like taking a role in [the] Environmental Club," she said. Marks said that she learned a lot as a younger student about interacting with adults, which helped her out during the interview-heavy application process for the Griffith Scholarship. "Mrs. Gordon, our old headmaster, she used to always greet us at the carline and be like, 'OK, now shake my hand. Say good morning Mrs. Gordon!' And you know, as a kid, that's a big deal ... it's interacting with an adult in a professional way," she said. "Being able to use some of those skills that Mead Hall taught me helped a lot." Marks said that she's been enjoying finding things to put in her future dorm room and that she's "really looking forward to seeing the campus on PC and the community there." She said that once she's at the school, she's interested in getting involved with the Ecology Club and its composting and pollinator garden. "I just love being able to help out wherever I can," she said. Marks credits her mom for helping her find her charisma when talking with people, and her dad for teaching her that hard work will eventually bring in results. "I definitely want to say thank you to my parents," she said. Lindsay Tucker, Academic Dean and Registrar at Mead Hall, said: "Esther is a phenomenal student. She has worked really hard all of her years here at Mead Hall. I have only witnessed this two years, her junior and senior years, but Esther is always willing to pitch in, she's always willing to help, and just run things and you can always count on her leadership abilities and her drive." "The scholarship is amazing, but it's not a shock, because she has worked so hard," added Tucker. "It's well deserved, and we're very proud of her...we know she will go to do bigger and better things."

PORTERSVILLE, Pa. (KDKA) -- On a sunny day, the Snowman shaved ice stand is a cool beacon of icy hope, proudly along Route 488 in Butler County. Co-owner Brain LaChance said that the idea to open this little refreshment spot came to him while he cut the grass on his property, and watched all the cars go by with people heading to nearby parks. "The origin of it was, what would be the thing to put here?" LaChance said. "What's the thing? What's the missing thing, then it kind of dawned on me that there are ice cream places nearby or close enough, but no one was doing shaved ice at the time." Once LaChance knew what he wanted to serve up, he started looking into building a brick-and-mortar shaved ice shop, but after a trip to Ohio, he settled on buying a giant, 13-foot fiberglass snowman on top of a trailer. "So, it is a roadside attraction, and the color scheme was off from when we looked at it," said LaChance. "It had black motorcycle gloves on, it had a hunter green snow cone, which is a weird color for shaved ice, and the hat was blue." Quickly, the colors were fixed, and the Snowman opened in Portersville in 2013. It has been doing a steady summertime trade ever since. They have even expanded the business to have a mobile trailer that they take on the road to local fairs, festivals, and events. The Snowman not only serves shaved ice with many different flavors, but they also serve ice cream, sundaes, and milkshakes. Anything to help people beat the heat of the summer sun. "I got the Yeti Sundae," said patron Lindsey Gasparovich. "Chocolate ice cream with the red shaved ice. It's absolutely wonderful. And my pup got the pup cup!" "This place is great because where else can you go, stop by a giant snowman, and get the best ice cream on a hot summer day," said Abby Boucher, who brought her kids out for a cool treat. "It's Instagram-able!" The Snowman is open every day except Mondays in Portersville from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, click here.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- By now you know , but how soon does the planning start for keeping everyone safe? The event is getting more popular every year and is expected to bring more than 300,000 people to the city. KDKA-TV spoke with Detroit Police about how they got ready from a public safety standpoint. It's estimated more than 700,000 fans packed Detroit. was a year in the making. Prior to that, it was talking with past cities who have hosted it. "We still have to operate the entire city, so we really had to balance that out. Look at what you need in the downtown area to put the draft on but you also have to service the entire city of Detroit," Detroit Police Commander Matthew Fulgenzi said. Every week they were having meetings with the NFL. Detroit police is about three times the size of Pittsburgh police, but they say it was a team effort to secure everything. They had help from other local departments, state police and agencies like the FBI, ATF and Homeland Security, so they had thousands of officers. In addition to law enforcement, they stay in communication with businesses, so everyone was on the same page. "Bringing everyone in, not operating in mini silos, working together as a team, and that's what made this event successful," Fulgenzi said. Now there were some arrests during the event, but Detroit police say it was nothing that wouldn't be expected when you have nearly three-quarters of a million people coming together. They had officers in uniform and undercover to keep everyone safe. "Sometimes people have too many drinks. We had a couple issues, nothing major," Fulgenzi said. Now Detroit police are talking with Green Bay, who is hosting the draft next year. to speak with leaders out there about hosting the draft. Pittsburgh Public Safety said they are in the early stages of planning now but add they have hosted big events before so they have some understanding of what may be needed. Any specifics are not expected quite yet. "Understanding you can't do this alone as an agency, partnerships are key," Fulgenzi said.

Milwaukee School Board members could fire Superintendent Keith Posley or take other disciplinary action against him at a meeting Monday night, according to a meeting notice updated Friday evening, days after board members found out MPS had failed to submit key financial reports to state officials. According to the meeting notice, board members could discuss Posley's employment in a closed door meeting, before possibly returning to a public meeting to take action. At the meeting, board members may consider "dismissal, demotion, licensing or discipline" of the superintendent. They may also discuss Posley's compensation and performance evaluation data, and confer with legal counsel, according to the meeting notice. The meeting, at 5:30 p.m. Monday at MPS' Central Office, will also include a public hearing on the district's budget and financial situation. Board members delayed voting this week on a district budget for the 2024-25 school year to get more information about where the district's finances stand. Also at the meeting on Monday, board members plan to announce the hiring of an outside financial consultant that will help the district get its financial reports in order. Some community members have called for Posley to resign, or for school board members to fire him, since news broke this week that the district has failed to submit financial reports to the state Department of Public Instruction, some of which were due more than eight months ago. DPI warned that it could suspend funding to MPS if the reports are not filed promptly. MPS has not granted the Journal Sentinel an interview with Posley. Milwaukee School Board members have said they didn't find out about the missing financial reports until May 24, when DPI notified board members, which DPI spokesperson Chris Bucher called an "extraordinary step" as the department urged MPS to submit its reports as quickly as possible. State officials could withhold a special education payment to the district June 10 and a general aid payment June 17 if the district does not have a corrective action plan in place, Bucher said. If MPS later completes its missing reports, it will be able to recoup any of the payments that had been withheld. MPS board held two closed meetings this week about Posley Milwaukee School Board members have already convened two closed-door meetings to discuss Posley's employment on Tuesday and Thursday. They didn't share developments from those meetings. In addition to the late financial reports, DPI has said that MPS made errors in its reported costs for the 2022-23 school year, which could result in a "significant reduction" in state aid for the 2024-25 school year. Asked how significant the reduction could be, Bucher told the Journal Sentinel the amount could be in the "tens of millions" of dollars. Bucher said he cannot confirm what the errors were until there is more information from the district. "It is possible grant dollars were coded into the incorrect fiscal year, there are journal entries without complete documentation, and we believe there are incorrectly coded revenues and expenditures," Bucher said. If state aid is reduced, the district could maintain its total revenue by relying more heavily on local property taxes, which could result in a tax hike, according to Rob Henken, president of the Wisconsin Policy Forum.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel announced foreign approvals for the Japanese acquisition of the American company on Thursday. But the companies still need approvals from the U.S. government. In a joint press release on Thursday, Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel announced they secured needed regulatory approvals from foreign governments and agencies outside the United States for Nippon's $14.9 billion acquisition of the Pittsburgh-based steel company, approved by U.S. Steel shareholders in April. In a statement, U.S. Steel CEO Dave Burritt noted, "We are pleased with the regulatory approvals received, as they are a clear indication that the transaction with Nippon Steel is pro-competitive and supports the strategic merits of foreign investment." But it's U.S. government approvals that are more important, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is leading an inter-agency panel examining the national security implications of the deal, as she told KDKA-TV in February. "We take national security very seriously, and our job is to protect it, and we will do that," she said in February. Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump oppose the deal, along with the United Steelworkers International Union. But there is no indication yet whether the Yellen-led committee on foreign investment in the U.S. or the Justice Department will block the transaction. "I know that they are going through their regulatory process," Lt. Gov. Austin Davis said. "But the chief concern of mine is making sure we protect the jobs, we grow the industry to make sure American-made steel continues to be made in the Mon Valley here in western Pennsylvania." Davis, who lives in the Mon Valley, shares the concerns of many local lawmakers about the future of local steelmaking and jobs if a foreign acquisition goes through without safeguards. No word on when U.S. agencies will complete their review.

Antoinette Dromo's family immigrated to the U.S. from Ghana before her freshman year of high school in search of better education and services for Dromo, who is deaf. Her family moved to Columbia in Howard County. Dromo said she tried attending a "mainstream," or hearing, school. But after a few days and several Individualized Education Program meetings, she said, Dromo and her family decided she should go to the Maryland School for the Deaf instead for high school. On Friday, Dromo was one of the 25 graduating seniors in the school's class of 2024. She plans to enter the workforce before going to college and is considering taking online classes. She isn't sure what career she wants to pursue yet, but is interested in design. Going to the Maryland School for the Deaf opened up a world of opportunities for Dromo, she said. It allowed her to connect with other people who are deaf, socialize and participate in clubs like the Junior Black Deaf Advocates and the cosmetology club. "I'm able to learn better, I was able to improve my skills, really be who I am," Dromo said in American Sign Language (ASL). "... Deaf people can. They can do anything, and they can learn here." Graduates hailed from around the state. Some were from Frederick and others were from other counties. John Serrano, the school's superintendent, said in ASL that part of what makes this class unique is that some students started their MSD journeys as pre-kindergarteners and others began attending years later as adolescents or teenagers. During his speech to the graduates, Serrano talked about the idea that life is linear and moves forward in a constant, upwards direction — but really, there will be obstacles along the way as the graduates enter adulthood. He also mentioned the theme for this school year — "Level up" — and the idea of continuing to push past one's comfort zone to grow and improve in the face of challenges. "Life is not always predictable. ... Reality teaches us that life is not linear. There are many roads less traveled, and sometimes those paths are not clear," he said. "Ending this chapter of your journey at MSD does not mean you stop leveling up. As a concept, that will continue. It's important for all of you as you go through different chapters and stages in life." Kaylieah Fuller and Ian Guettler, the featured student speakers, both spoke in ASL about how graduates have the power to choose the person they want to become. Guettler, who will attend Gallaudet University to study business administration, brought up a quote he saw on social media talking about how many words that are polar opposites — love and hate, chaos and peace, enemies and friends — have the same amount of letters in them. "Sometimes, you feel like there's not a choice, but really, there are choices, and it's how you react to situations," he said. "... For every negative aspect, there's an equal, positive counterpart." Fuller, who will study exercise science at the Rochester Institute of Technology, spoke about how leadership requires accountability and perseverance. The graduates will have so many opportunities presented to them, she said — but "it's your responsibility to seize that opportunity." Neva Whittaker has been attending MSD since she was in second grade and already has a clear vision of what she wants to be. Whittaker wants to become a social worker to help deaf people have better access to mental health services, something she said is sorely lacking and that she's seen through her own experiences trying to get mental health help. She said in ASL that she plans to attend Gallaudet University to study psychology. On Friday, she wore a turquoise cord, her mother's favorite color, in honor of her mother who recently died. Whittaker plans to get a master's degree and eventually a Ph.D., something her mother always wanted to do, but for which she never had time. "I'm kind of going to take and carry that torch for her and get my Ph.D. in her honor," she said. "I'm super excited. I'm ready for college — very excited to start the next chapter."

May 31—A nondenominational Aiken church with 12 other locations in South Carolina will move to a new and bigger church in the fall of 2025. Newspring Aiken's new campus will complete construction on a 40-acre lot late next year on the corner of University Parkway and Trolley Run Boulevard beside Springside apartments. "The city and the county are growing a lot right there," Aiken Campus Pastor Matt Steelman said. "We want to be a multiethnic, multigenerational church and we want to reach different cross sections of the socio-economic [population] ... the outwork of what that could look like, I think, is a congregation that represents the full population of Aiken and not just a portion of it." The Newspring campus is now behind Ollie's Bargain Outlet on Cedar Lane. It can only "squeeze in" 300 seats for the auditorium and 100 seats in the kids' space, Steelman said. "The reason we're building it very practically is because we're out of space and there weren't existing spaces to house us," Steelman said. "Thankfully, there's other churches like Fearless Church right around the corner ... there's no territorialism." Newspring averages 600 to 650 people on Sundays. The new campus could hold 1,500 to 2,000 people across two services each Sunday, Steelman said. The church offers a contemporary service with a live band and sermons from Newspring pastors from across South Carolina. The church has posters of sleek lime green logos with a lowercase "N," featuring modern illustrations of leaves sprouting or springing. Steelman said he wants to improve the ability of Newspring — a relatively young congregation — to bring in college students and expand the young congregation, though the church welcomes anyone. "That's a contingent we want to be a little bit more effective in reaching," Steelman said. "We've seen really good fruit, but at the same time, it feels like a shadow of what could be." How the new campus looks doesn't deprive the church of its mission: helping people have an everyday relationship with Jesus. "We want it to be a place that's known not for the name on the wall, but about the God who it points to," Steelman said. "If it's a blessing to our community and not a curse, then it's a successful thing. If it's just about becoming a bigger church and that's it — that's an incomplete target."

May 31—EDITOR'S NOTE — This story is the final of three profile stories on Mitchell's mayoral candidates to be published prior to the June 4 city election. MITCHELL — Throughout his four decades of working as the vice president of Muth Electric, Terry Sabers helped the Mitchell company grow from four employees to 400. The big growth he facilitated at Muth Electric is what he's aiming to bring to Mitchell on a larger scale. The mayoral candidate's campaign is centered around growth, and he believes he has the formula to help the city begin to grow at a more rapid pace than it has over the past three decades. "We are at a critical point to take Mitchell to the next level in growth," Sabers said. "I have learned the skills to grow something small into something much bigger. It's my goal to do that for Mitchell." Sabers is convinced a lack of affordable housing options is the culprit to Mitchell's slow growth. And he's aiming to address the housing issues he's identified from the mayor's office, if elected. "We've been stagnant for 20 years due to a lack of housing. I've visited 1,400 homes in the last five weeks and the resounding need expressed is the lack of single-family homes at the lower end of the prices," Sabers said. Prior to entering the mayoral race, the retired businessman helped create a local organization he now leads that focuses on building more affordable homes in Mitchell. As president of Mitchell Area Housing Incorporated (MAHI), Sabers has demolished a handful of unoccupied dilapidated homes and had the lots redeveloped with a new affordable home. Sabers has also come up against some challenges while leading MAHI. The latest challenge was getting backlash from some residents along Lake Mitchell who were being asked by MAHI to pay between $14,000 and $10,000 for future infrastructure for a MAHI-led housing development. Sabers said he's shown the ability to handle challenges with effective communication, which he noted has helped resolve issues among residents near the South Lake development. "I've had to work through perception issues with neighbors regarding (the South Lake) housing development and had multiple meetings with them to work through it. You have to know how to problem-solve," Sabers said. Providing more affordable housing options isn't the only goal Sabers has laid out to grow Mitchell. "We have a Corn Palace to fix, a lake and watershed to work on and a secondary water source to implement. We need more restaurants and businesses," he said. He said a "team effort" among city leaders and organizations like the Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce and other nonprofits aimed at creating a friendly business environment is a key to growth. Sabers believes there is opportunity for the city to foster a more business friendly environment that he said would lead to new businesses coming to Mitchell. "As a city, we need to make sure we work with potential businesses and not drive them away with regulations that are too strict," he said, emphasizing his ability to work as a team with others. City leaders working with Davison County officials and school district officials is something Sabers said he would like to see more of. "I can work as a team with everybody. I've sat on the state Board of Education and other committees, and it's allowed me to work well with a wide range of people sharing a common goal," he said of his past experiences serving on boards and committees. Sabers highlighted his community involvement with numerous local organizations such as youth 4-H, Jaycees, Boy Scouts and Mitchell United Way as valuable experiences for developing leadership qualities. The Salem native has grown to love the community since moving to Mitchell over four decades ago. He is a husband and father of two sons who reside in Mitchell. Sabers' brother, Dan Sabers, is a member of the city council seeking re-election on June 4. If elected, he emphasized there would be no collusion and conflicts with his brother serving on the council. The council ultimately approves agenda items, and the sitting mayor only votes on non-expenditure items if the council has an evenly split vote. A couple months into his mayoral campaign, Sabers declared his stance on the proposed $25 million Lake Mitchell dredging project. During the May 14 mayoral candidate forum, Sabers said he will be voting in favor of the lake dredging loan that's on the June 4 ballot. While Sabers emphasized the city must focus on reducing the runoff entering the lake from the neighboring Firesteel watershed, he said the lake has reached a point of despair that demands action now. "We need to finally take some actions to improve the lake. The voters of Mitchell will decide if this is the right project or not. I am very disappointed that we did not get a filtering project completed on the watershed quicker," Sabers said in reference to the city's 37-acre wetland project that's being built along Firesteel Creek to reduce runoff flowing toward the lake. Sabers has aspirations to continue efforts of revitalizing downtown and redeveloping vacant lots scattered along Main Street. He bought a historic Main Street building where his daughter-in-law operates a well-known boutique and clothing store and has experience with maintaining a historic building. Sabers is well aware of the challenges downtown has faced over the past few years, and he's pleased with some of the progress being made to the key corridor. He said the major million-dollar building renovations being led by California developer, John Adamo, are among the wins helping downtown. With over a handful of corroding downtown buildings being demolished in the past few years, Sabers said the city needs to focus on redeveloping the vacant lots. "For example, if we can get the Third and Main vacant parking lot fixed up and redeveloped, it will be a very nice addition to downtown. How can we replace these buildings that went away with new buildings or usable things? That's what we have to do," Sabers said of his goals for revitalizing downtown.

Wisconsin is within the aurora viewline for places most likely to see the northern lights on Friday night, however those chances are slimming due to the evening's forecast. The Space Weather Prediction Center has forecast a possible geomagnetic storm beginning Friday and lasting until the early morning hours of Saturday morning. A handful of state in the northern U.S. could see the northern lights during that span. The phenomena would be the result of the same cluster of sunspots responsible for the nationwide May 10 aurora display, as they have rotated back in view of the Earth. But this time the storm is weaker, given an intensity level of 2 out of 5. The moderate storm is the result of a coronal mass ejection, or, "huge bubbles of coronal plasma threaded by intense magnetic field lines that are ejected from the sun over the course of several hours," according to NASA. The ejection is the result of a solar flare on May 29. Friday's lights should be observable between 11 p.m. Friday and 1 a.m. Saturday, though they can be seen up until about 3 a.m., according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. However, the state is expected to have cloud coverage Friday night, especially up north, where the chances of witnessing the northern lights is higher. The overnight forecast in northwestern Wisconsin is cloudy and rainy, according to Marcia Cronce, meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "The northwest part of the state is not as good for viewing any northern lights," she said. While southern Wisconsin, and east through Door County, will have thin cloud coverage that will develop, but the region is expected to stay dry, Cronce said. USA Today contributed to this report.

A Moore Police Department officer has been affectionately labeled "Kool-Aid Man" and "Officer Bulldozer" after a video of him shouldering through a fence to apprehend a suspect has gone viral. Earlier this month, a group of officers were attempting to stop the driver of a stolen vehicle near NW 12th Street and Janeway Avenue in Moore. When the driver didn't stop, a short pursuit began, according to MPD. The driver narrowly missed hitting another vehicle in an intersection, then crashed the stolen car near Sunrise Drive and ran on foot. As four officers pursued the driver on foot, the driver jumped over a fence in a residential area near First Christian Church of Moore. One officer nimbly crawled through the damaged fence, but a second officer arrived and immediately blasted through the fence, shoulder first. On May 19th, MPD was in a pursuit & foot chase involving a stolen car near NW 12th & Janeway. Taser deployment was utilized as pursuing officers ran through & over fences. 20-year-old Dontavious Smith was taken into custody & taken to the Cleveland County Jail. #moorestrong pic.twitter.com/lITTIZ80oD — Moore Police Dept. (@MoorePolice) May 31, 2024 In the comment section, residents shared a laugh at the officer's successful tactic. "I love how the first 2 officers were trying not to break the rest of the fence then the 3rd one just plows right thru it," one commenter posted. Another commenter posted a gif of the Kool-Aid Man bursting through a brick wall. "He shall now be called Officer Bulldozer lol," another wrote. According to the MPD's Facebook post, the subject was taken into custody in a resident's backyard. "Taser Deployment was utilized twice during this arrest, with Officer Sternburg caught briefly in the deployment crossfire and tased during the incident," the Facebook post read. In response to a question about repairing the damaged fence, the Moore Police Department responded that they are "working with the homeowners and the city to get the fence mended."

Vicki Román-Lagunas, who is currently Indiana University Northwest’s Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, will succeed outgoing IUN chancellor Ken Iwama in an interim capacity, starting July 1, the university announced Friday. Iwama is leaving for a new role as Indiana University Vice President for Regional Campuses and Online Education. “With more than 28 years of experience in faculty and administrative positions, Vicki is known — throughout the IU system — for her passion for higher education administration, her strong commitment to shared governance, her talent for collaborative leadership and her continued commitment to strategic enrollment and student success initiatives,” Iwama said in the release. “As a trusted colleague, I have witnessed firsthand her enthusiasm, her compassion, her dedication, and her ability to lead and guide; characteristics that will prove to be extremely helpful to the campus as she leads IU Northwest forward during this time of transition.” The university stated that it will soon start a search for a permanent Chancellor of IU Northwest and will utilize a nationally recognized search firm to ensure the most robust and qualified pool of candidates possible. Román-Lagunas’ term at IU Northwest started in July 2017. Prior to IU Northwest, she was acting provost and professor of Spanish at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) in Chicago, the release stated. Román-Lagunas has a Ph.D. in Latin American Literature and Culture from Florida State University and graduate and undergraduate degrees in Spanish from University of Arizona and The College of William and Mary.

Police are looking for a suspect in wave of robberies up and down Manhattan’s East Side. The man is suspected in at least nine robberies since May 19 in which he simulates a firearm, said police, who released images of a suspect Friday. The suspect frequently uses a CitiBike to approach his victims and make his getaway, according to cops. The man targeted his first victim on May 19 around 2:30 a.m. near E 24th St. and Second Ave., according to cops, when he rode up on a CitiBike and demanded a credit card from a 25-year-old man. In that incident, the suspect said he had a gun. Around eight hours later at 10:15 a.m., the suspect barged in to a store on Second Ave. near 38th St. and flashed a gun before taking off with $200 from the register. He fled on a CitiBike northbound, according to cops. The same man struck again the following Tuesday around 2:35 a.m. on Broadway and W. 86th St., but was unable to take anything from 52-year-old male victim. On May 23, again around 2:05 a.m., the suspect intimated that he had a gun and threatened to shoot before he took $250 from a store register on Lexington Ave. near 85th St. In the fifth incident on May 26, the suspect approached a 17-year-old on Ave. A and E. Third St. in the East Village on a CitiBike and demanded his cash. He rode away, but returned and grabbed $35 from the teen around 7:05 a.m. Thirty minutes later and about 30 blocks away, the suspect again simulated a gun and took $200 from a store on Second Ave. near E. 35th St. That time, he fled on foot, according to cops. Just after 8 a.m., the suspect struck again, demanding cash from a 28-year-old man walking on Lexington Ave. near E. 95th St before taking off on a CitiBike. Two days later on May 28 at around 3:46 a.m., the suspect rode up to a store on Third Ave. and E. 106th St., displaying the outline of a firearm and making off with $300, cops said. At 5:50 a.m. the same morning, he failed to grab cash from a store register on Third Ave. near 57th St. Cops say they’re looking for a man about 6 feet, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a black hat, black sneakers, and blue pants. Robberies are slightly up in the northern section of Manhattan year-to-date, with 820 this year compared to 704 in 2023. In the lower portion of the borough, robberies were down 13 percent, from 701 this time last year to 610 so far in 2024. Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

Abigail Castaneda, 19, was booked into the Fort Worth city jail, on suspicion of murder, just after 1 p.m. Friday according to logs from the jail. A spokesperson for the Fort Worth Police Department said that since it is a homicide case, additional details on Castaneda’s arrest are not yet available. Castaneda was the second person arrested in connection with the death of Gabriel Cardenas Jr. on March 15 at Rosen Park on the city’s northwest side. Fredrick Harris, 19, was arrested in early April in connection with the fatal shooting.

Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. Prosecutors have renewed their request to a federal judge to order Donald Trump to stop making false claims that the FBI was authorized to kill him when it executed a search warrant at his Florida home in August 2022. The motion Friday from special counsel Jack Smith’s team comes four days after U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon spurned a similar request from prosecutors, using unusually blunt language to fault them for failing to make an adequate effort to resolve the issue with Trump’s lawyers before coming to the judge. The new motion, filed Friday evening, makes the same central argument: that Trump’s claims about an approval to use deadly force pose a danger to FBI agents who took part in the search or are connected in other ways to the pending criminal case in which Trump is accused of hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence and obstructing an investigation into the subject. “These deceptive and inflammatory claims expose the law enforcement professionals who are involved in this case to unjustified and unacceptable risks: they invite the sort of threats and harassment that have occurred when other participants in legal proceedings against Trump have been targeted by his invective,” prosecutors Jay Bratt and David Harbach wrote. They also warned that the claims could impact potential jurors in the case, which is not currently set for trial. In the new filing, the prosecutors list a series of social media posts and political fundraising emails where Trump has made inflammatory and false claims, like “Biden’s DOJ was authorized to shoot me!” and “Joe Biden was locked & loaded and ready to take out me & put my family in danger.” Trump’s comments appear to have been triggered by language in an FBI operations plan related to the search that described when agents were allowed to use deadly force. However, FBI officials have said that language is included in virtually all such plans and is designed to limit the use of force, not expand it. In addition, they note that agents deliberately chose to execute the warrant when Trump was not at home in order to prevent any confrontation. Prosecutors asked the judge to change Trump’s release conditions in the case to prohibit him “from making statements posing a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.” While the new filling describes prior threats to witnesses and law enforcement in connection with legal matters involving Trump, it does not point to any actual threats received by FBI agents that appear related to his assertions about the raid. Prosecutors also complied Friday with a request from Cannon, a Trump appointee, that they relay the views of Trump’s defense without editorializing. The end of the motion contains language in which Trump’s attorneys say they oppose the judge issuing a gag order in the case. “President Trump’s position is that the requested modification is a blatant violation of the First Amendment rights of President Trump and the American People, which would in effect allow President Trump’s political opponent to regulate his campaign communications to voters across the country,” the statement from Trump’s lawyers said. For the second time, Smith did not request that Cannon consider the request on an expedited basis. Trump is asking for two weeks to respond to the gag order request and asked the judge not to start that time until officials in the court’s probation office determine whether they concur with the prosecutors about the need for a gag order.

Micah Parsons quickly became one of the best defensive players in football. The 11th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft has finished in the top three in each of his three seasons for the Defensive Player of the Year Award, and he's trying to get a new deal. The common practice for players in his situation is to not touch the field until pen goes to paper. And the Dallas Cowboys pass rusher has not taken the field at their practice complex. Parsons was at the complex Wednesday, and head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday Parsons has been there more than people realize. But he still threw a jab at his prized possession, saying Parsons is missing an "opportunity to improve." "I think anytime you have a chance to be together, it's an opportunity to improve, whether it's in the mental realm, the physical realm, which is limited obviously this time of year, and the emotional connection and so forth," McCarthy said. "But, you know, it's a long year. Training camp is really the heightened focus for all of that. But, yeah, it's definitely an opportunity that's been missed." Shortly after Dallas lost in the wild-card round to the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers, Parsons said he wanted to be more of a leader. CeeDee Lamb is also absent because he is looking for a new deal after the best season of his four-year career. Parsons has had 13, 13½ and 14 sacks his first three years. He made first-team All-Pro in 2021 and 2022 but slipped to the second-team last season. He finished behind T.J. Watt for the Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 and Nick Bosa in 2022, while falling behind Myles Garrett and Watt last season. Amon-Ra St. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Nico Collins are the only players from the 2021 draft class to receive contract extensions.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A woman who was walking her bike across a road was hit and killed by a suspected DUI driver, but authorities said the man was not at fault for the incident. The family of Haylee Concepción, the victim in the crash, said their daughter knew the intersection was dangerous and had long feared something like this would happen. “She would come home and tell us there was another crash right in front of the store today and she was so terrified of it,” Concepción’s mother, Abbyja Henry said. “She was concerned about her safety,” her father, Michael Henry added. “She was an advocate for herself. She tried to prevent something like this from happening,” her mother said. Now Concepción’s parents say they are living their daughter’s worst nightmare. Police said the 25-year-old was trying to cross 54th Avenue South in a marked crosswalk when a driver hit her around 9 p.m. Tuesday. Police determined the driver, Richard Wilson was not at fault for the crash, but they still charged him with misdemeanor DUI. Wilson also had a prior DUI. “The city had an opportunity to get him off the road, and he’s still out hurting people. It’s not fair. Where is the justice in that?” Concepción’s mother said. Residents who live and work nearby said crashes in that area are common. “It is like the devil’s playground. If you are not paying attention to how you are moving, you can get caught up,” Corion Jordan said. The victim’s parents and residents tell 8 On Your Side they are hoping that city officials can reevaluate the intersection and make it safer. Copyright 2024 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

May 31—ROCHESTER — A festering dispute between grassroots activists and the local Republican Party in Otter Tail County has migrated south to the Olmsted County GOP. The ensuing feud has pitted the Republican Party of Olmsted County against 1st District and statewide GOP leaders. It began on April 13 when Olmsted County GOP Chair Wendy Phillips chaired a political convention in Otter Tail County in defiance of state party leaders, who called the gathering "illegitimate" and "unsanctioned." In response, a 1st District committee booted Phillips off the GOP State Executive Committee, which controls the statewide party. In May, the Republican Party of Olmsted County's Central Committee retaliated, voting overwhelmingly in support of a resolution backing Phillips. The local party also gave a vote of no-confidence regarding 1st District GOP Chair Aaron Ferris. The intraparty strife is unfolding at an inauspicious time for the GOP with an election looming. GOP Party leaders say that as a 1st District representative on the State Executive Committee, Phillips had an ethical obligation to represent the views and decisions of the board she sat on. But instead, Phillips undermined the board by serving as chair of an unsanctioned Otter Tail convention and inserting herself in an imbroglio that 1st District leaders wanted nothing to do with. "There was no gray area or confusion on this. It was very clear that this was not a legitimate convention. End of story," Farris said. Phillips' ouster and the Olmsted GOP's no-confidence measure in response stem from a long-brewing clash between grassroots party activists and the local party in Otter Tail County over endorsements. Tensions in Otter Tail boiled over earlier this year when a group calling itself Otter Tail County Grassroots took over the GOP party's precinct caucuses, removing people who led the proceedings and picking delegates who pledged to endorse their candidates. But there were problems with the caucuses, GOP Party leaders say. The forms used to document the proceedings were illegible or improperly filled out. The state Republican Party stepped in, and the Otter Tail GOP agreed to a recommendation that there would be no conventions this year. The delegates elected in 2022 would serve in 2024, party leaders said. The move angered the activists, who in defiance decided to host their own unsanctioned political convention, for which Phillips agreed to serve as chair. The vote to remove Phillips from the State Executive Committee was made by the 1st District's Central Committee. It takes a two-thirds vote to remove a person from the State Executive Committee and the committee voted 44-13 to evict her. Phillips ran for a seat in the Minnesota House in House District 25A and lost to DFL Rep. Kim Hicks in 2022. A report to the CD1 Central Committee on the motion to remove Phillips makes clear that the CD1 Central Committee wanted to avoid entanglement with the Otter Tail situation as much as possible. Otter Tail is in Minnesota's 7th Congressional District. It saw both sides in the Otter Tail dispute as wrong and "we didn't want anything to do with it," the report said. "At no point was there any support voiced for Mrs. Phillips to insert herself in another CD (Congressional District), in a situation that she had nothing to do with, and begin playing around in a very toxic situation that, due in part to her involvement, escalated to the point that it delayed a CD convention by several hours," the CD1 report said. The report added that Phillips has used her position as "more of a launching pad for own ambitions." It concluded that she didn't have the skills for a position "where she is supposed to be voicing other people's positions rather than her own." In an email to the Post Bulletin, Phillips said the convention she chaired was called by the "duly elected" of the Otter Tail BPOU (Basic Political Organization Unit). She said state Republican Party leader David Hann's recommendation that no convention be called this year was a violation of the Otter Tail and state constitutions. "BPOUs holding an annual Convention is a requirement of a major party to retain its major party status under Minnesota State law," she said. Phillips has her defenders. In a letter signed to Farris and the 1st District executive board, GOP state Reps. Jeff Backer and Tom Murphy said they opposed Phillips' removal as CD1 State Executive Committee representative. "She was (at the Otter Tail convention) in an individual capacity to listen to the concerns of frustrated Republican voters — the type of people that we need to be working for the party this upcoming election," the letter said. Party leaders say a convention can only be called by the GOP State Executive Committee, the State Central Committee, the Congressional District committee or the BPOU committee under the state party's constitution. The illegitimacy of the convention was underscored by its "convention call" disclaimer that said the convention was being called by "Precinct Chairs and Delegates." "That's not legit," Farris said. GOP leaders say Phillips' decision to chair the convention was particularly ill-timed because the two sides in Otter Tail were working to resolve their dispute. The infighting is also a distraction from the GOP's main goal of winning back the state House and putting a check on what it views as DFL excesses in taxes and spending. Minnesota is currently a one-party state, with the DFL controlling the governor's mansion and both houses of the Legislature. The no-confidence resolution by the Olmsted GOP Central Committee also accuses Farris of thwarting an effort to remove Lukas Severson and Nathan Peterson from their CD1 leadership posts. Both are members of the CD1 Central Committee and wrote the report calling for Phillips' removal. Farris said he is at a loss as to why he was targeted for no-confidence. He was not an author of the report calling for Phillips' removal. He received the report in an email at the same time Phillips received it. Action 4 Liberty, a conservative group, has sought to portray Farris as the primary figure "behind the whole thing," he said. Phillips said the no-confidence resolution against Farris was prompted by his breach of due process that "smacks of a dictatorial style of administration." Farris lamented what he described as the fallen state of the Olmsted GOP BPOU. It once was a political driving force not only in southern Minnesota but in all of the state. Of the five House districts within Olmsted County, he noted, there was only one contested endorsement, an indication of an inability to recruit candidates. "It's not a functioning group. It's not run by serious people," Farris said about the Olmsted County GOP BPOU. "It has proven to be a consistent problem every step of the way, which is really disappointing."

The Kansas City Chiefs have made another trip to the White House. President Biden hosted the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday to commemorate their most recent title. Travis Kelce was on hand for the festivities, but this time the president invited the star tight end to speak at the podium. "My fellow Americans…," he said. "I’m going to be honest President Biden, they told me I’d get tased if I came up here, so I’m going back to my spot." Last year, Kelce approached the podium and said, "So, I’ve been waiting for this," before quarterback Patrick Mahomes intervened. Jason Kelce, Travis' brother and "New Heights" podcast co-host, took notice of the latest exchange. "Man, Im not gonna lie, that was tight. Well done @tkelce, doesn’t get much cooler than that!" the former Philadelphia Eagles center wrote on X, the company formerly known as Twitter. Pop star Taylor Swift did not attend the celebration at the White House as she continues the European leg of her "The Eras Tour." But, Swift did make it to the 2024 Super Bowl and celebrated on the field with Kelce after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime. During a June 2023 edition of "New Heights," Kelce shared some details about what he planned to do at the podium during last year's White House visit. "Obviously, the president, at the podium, it’s iconic, and how he addresses the public — ‘to my fellow Americans.’ That’s all I wanted to say, dude," Kelce said. Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who rallied against the president over his stance on abortion during a commencement speech, also made the trip to the White House. But, Biden did not acknowledge the kicker or any criticism that was mentioned in the speech. The Chiefs have been open about their hopes of winning a third consecutive Super Bowl. Earlier this month, Mahomes reaffirmed his belief that his team will contend for another title in 2024. "Next year in New Orleans, we’re going to do it again," Mahomes declared during an appearance with Logan Paul on the "Impaulsive" podcast. "Put it on the table. We’re going to do it again. I’m telling you now." Kansas City opens the NFL season on Sept. 5, when they host the Baltimore Ravens.

Despite several delays and technical hiccups, Boeing is getting ready to launch its first crewed test flight to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of its agreement with NASA. Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is set for launch on Saturday, June 1 at 12:25 p.m. ET from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The crew capsule will ride atop United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket, carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the space station and back. NASA will broadcast the launch live on its website and the space agency’s YouTube channel, and you can also tune in through the feed below. The launch coverage will begin at 8:15 a.m. ET. Boeing will also be airing the launch live through its website. It’s been a nail-biting journey to make it to this point, and frankly the upcoming launch has us quite anxious. The company was originally targeting May 6 for the liftoff of Starliner but a last minute anomaly with one of the Atlas V rocket’s pressure valves delayed the crewed test flight to May 17. Just days before the launch, however, Starliner teams detected a small helium leak in the spacecraft’s service module, prompting them to push the launch to May 21 before it was delayed indefinitely. Earlier this week, Boeing announced that it decided to proceed with flying the astronaut crew on the leaky Starliner spacecraft without resolving the issue. Boeing’s vice president Mark Nappi said that fixing the leak would require taking apart the Starliner spacecraft at its factory, AFP reported. Instead, Starliner teams will monitor the leak ahead of the launch on Saturday. Boeing’s Crewed Flight Test is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program and is meant to transport crew and cargo to and from the International Space Station (ISS) under a $4.3 billion contract with the space agency. NASA’s other commercial partner, SpaceX, just launched its eighth crew to the space station. Starliner’s first uncrewed test flight in 2019 managed to reach space, but a software automation glitch caused the spacecraft to burn excess fuel, preventing it from making it to the ISS. Starliner miscalculated its location in space due to a glitch caused by a faulty mission elapsed timer. The botched first flight prompted NASA to call for a second test flight of the empty spacecraft before a crew rides on board. In May 2022, Boeing completed the Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2), the second uncrewed test flight of Starliner, setting the stage for a crewed test flight. But OFT-2 suffered a few hiccups, including the failure of a thruster used for orbital maneuvering. Boeing’s crewed Starliner launch was initially set for February 2023, then postponed to late April, and finally rescheduled for July 21, 2023. A few weeks before liftoff, however, the company announced that it was standing down from the launch attempt to address newfound issues with the crew vehicle, including a mile’s worth of flammable tape that had to be manually removed. Despite all of these failures, NASA remains dedicated to the Starliner program and having two commercial partners transporting its astronauts to low Earth orbit. With the leaky spacecraft, Saturday’s launch is a major test of NASA’s relationship with its entourage of private companies.

Robert Burke, a retired four-star Navy admiral, was arrested Friday for bribery involving a government contract, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Yongchul "Charlie" Kim and Meghan Messenger, co-CEOs of a company not named by the DOJ who allegedly participated in the scheme to get a government contract in exchange for offering Burke a position with the company, were also arrested, a DOJ press release said. "The law does not make exceptions for admirals or CEOs. Those who pay and receive bribes must be held accountable," Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said. "The urgency is at its greatest when, as here, senior government officials and senior executives are allegedly involved in the corruption." Burke, who served as vice chief of naval operations, was once the Navy’s second-highest ranking officer. The company provided a training program for a small part of the Navy from 2018 and 2019, before their contract was terminated. The company was told by the Navy not to contact Burke, but the three met in Washington, D.C., in July 2021 and Burke allegedly agreed to use his influence to get the company a sole-source contract and urge other Naval officers to use the company for a more widespread training program that Kim estimated would be worth "triple digit millions." In December 2021, Burke allegedly ordered his staff to award the company a $355,000 contract to train Naval personnel under his command in Italy and Spain and made an unsuccessful attempt to convince a senior Naval commander to give them another contract. Burke allegedly implied that he had no role in awarding the contract, and that his discussions with Kim and Messenger didn’t start until after the contract started. He was later hired by the company in October 2022, with a $500,000 salary and $100,000 in stock options after retiring from the Navy. Burke has been charged with conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery and performing acts affecting a personal financial interest and concealing material facts from the U.S., according to the DOJ. He could face 30 years in prison if convicted. Kim and Messenger were charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and bribery and could face 20 years in prison. Burke made his initial court appearance in Miami on Friday and his attorney said he intends to clear his name at trial. "I think a jury will see through this," defense attorney Timothy Parlatore said. "There was no connection between this contract and his employment. The math just doesn’t make sense that he would give them this relatively small contract for that type of a job offer." Rear Adm. Ryan Perry said in a statement the Navy has fully cooperated with the investigation. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Navy for further comment. He added, "We take this matter very seriously and will continue to cooperate with the Department of Justice." The Associated Press contributed to this report.

May 31—MITCHELL — Despite facing obstacles along the way, the long-awaited groundbreaking ceremony for Safe Place of Eastern South Dakota's new facility finally came to fruition on Friday. In response to increasing demand for their services, Safe Place initiated a "Build a Safe Future" campaign in 2020, aiming to construct a new facility. Securing a $2.02 million Community Block grant in 2021 through the South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development, the organization advanced its plans for the multimillion-dollar facility. Since the campaign's launch, there have been changes in leadership within both the organization's board and foundation board. Additionally, the federal grant funds allocated for the project were initially delayed but have recently been approved for disbursement. "We're really excited to see this big project moving along. We have plenty of work ahead yet, but it's exciting to see the vision of the Safe Place coming together," said Coleen Hoffman, Safe Place of Eastern South Dakota executive director. Safe Place of Eastern South Dakota offers essential support services including emergency shelter accommodations, transitional housing, and advocacy for individuals and families impacted by domestic abuse, sexual abuse, or human trafficking. Additionally, the organization oversees the Family Visitation Center, providing a safe and supervised space for children to maintain contact with a noncustodial parent in cases involving a history of domestic violence. Founded in 1984, Safe Place, formerly known as the Mitchell Area Safehouse, underwent an expansion in the late 1990s thanks to contributions from local philanthropist Tanta Osterhaus. Those donations enabled the organization to expand and construct its current facility on North Wisconsin Street. In 2021, the organization transitioned to become Safe Place of Eastern South Dakota, aligning its name with the broader nine-county region it serves. According to Hoffman, the name change better reflected the mission as a vital resource and sanctuary for victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking, while also emphasizing its role as an advocate for individuals and families' healing. Marking its 40th anniversary this year, Safe Place finds the demand for increased space and modernized amenities continually on the rise, according to Hoffman. In 2023, Safe Place provided shelter for 173 women and children, assisted in 15 cases related to sexual assault, human trafficking, and stalking, facilitated 23 protection orders, and facilitated over 52 families with visitation and monitored exchanges. "The building itself is showing wear and tear," Hoffman said. "Plus we are on top of each other now. We will finally have more space and amenities to serve our clients in comfortable, safe surroundings." The current Safe Place facility offers seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. It has the capacity to house up to 27 residents concurrently. Located on Mitchell's north side, at the junction of North Kimball Street and East Green Drive, the new facility will provide a convenient location for the clients served by Safe Place. "That was one of the deciding factors when we chose this location," Hoffman said. "It's close to the Department of Social Services, the job service office, and the grocery store." According to Hoffman, the upcoming facility will span nearly 17,000 square feet, an increase of 4,000 square feet from the current space. It will comprise 10 shelter rooms, three visitation rooms and an additional playground. Currently, there is one playground available, requiring the need for careful coordination when multiple families utilize the visitation center simultaneously. "This new facility will allow us the space we desperately need to better serve our clients," Hoffman said. The new facility will also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring accessibility for all individuals served by the Safe Place. Among the ten rooms, two will be specifically designed to meet ADA standards. Additionally, separate entrances will be provided for custodial and non-custodial parents during visitations, replacing the current practice of utilizing a single entrance with staggered arrival times. One feature that Hoffman eagerly anticipates is the inclusion of a kitchenette, providing families with the opportunity to cook together. The project is slated for completion in June of 2025. Puetz Design + Build serves as the project's contract manager, while Ciavarella Design Architects handled the building's design. The project carries a price tag of $5.3 million. "Despite the challenges we have faced, we never lost focus on the building project and the vital services that are hallmarks of our organization," Hoffman said. The "Build a Safe Future" campaign remains active, currently seeking an additional $1.5 million to achieve its overall goal. Theresa Berndt, development director at Safe Place, outlines three key components of the campaign: the construction of the building, educational outreach across the nine counties served by Safe Place, and staffing, programming, and daily necessities for clients at the Safe Place shelter and family visitation center. These components, alongside the implementation of a high-quality security system for the building, are encompassed in the funds still being raised. "A building without those pieces is just a building and not a safe place that serves multiple needs of those entering the doors" Berndt said.

As we witness the parade of uber-rich benefactors lining up to throw their support — and their wallets — behind Donald Trump’s blatantly authoritarian presidential agenda, it’s important to remember what many of these people stand to gain. Trump’s galling proposition to oil CEOs at a private event that they give him a $1 billion campaign investment was a reminder that shrewd capitalists who run companies might see Trump’s deregulatory agenda as a prime reason to back him. And voters can't afford to underestimate what that could mean for everyday working people. As the Washington Post reported earlier this month: I suspect the propaganda of Reaganomics has convinced some people (even those who may not consider themselves to be conservative) that the word “regulation” means “unnecessary red tape that diminishes profits." I want to combat that by highlighting the human cost of deregulation, which isn’t felt only by communities that suffer most directly from weakened environmental protections, for example, but is also felt by the actual workers who labor in what tend to be poorly regulated industries. The AFL-CIO published its “Death on the Job” report in April, which chronicles the rate of on-the-job deaths per year up to 2022. And a disproportionate number of those who’ve died on the job are Black and Latino. As NBC News reported, “Black workers’ job fatality rates are the highest they’ve been in nearly 15 years, and Latino workers die on the job more than any other group.” The report largely focuses on hazardous working conditions but also includes workplace homicides and suicides, both of which increased in 2022. That year, the industries with the highest worker fatality rates were "agriculture, forestry, and fishing and hunting." The second-highest fatality rates were found in the group including "mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction" (to relate things back to Trump's private meeting). The report also contrasts President Joe Biden's efforts to improve worker safety standards with Trump’s weakening of worker protections as president. The data just underscores a distinction I’ve highlighted recently, which is that Biden has fashioned himself as a pro-labor candidate while Trump continues to position himself pretty openly as the candidate of rich executives. As the AFL-CIO’s workplace death report shows, this distinction might mean the difference between life and death for not a few workers. This article was originally published on MSNBC.com

That time the FBI ran a cell phone company for criminals : Planet Money There is a constant arms race between law enforcement and criminals, especially when it comes to technology. For years, law enforcement has been frustrated with encrypted messaging apps, like Signal and Telegram. And law enforcement has been even more frustrated by encrypted phones, specifically designed to thwart authorities from snooping. But in 2018, in a story that seems like it's straight out of a spy novel, the FBI was approached with an offer: Would they like to get into the encrypted cell phone business? What if they could convince criminals to use their phones to plan and document their crimes — all while the FBI was secretly watching? It could be an unprecedented peek into the criminal underground. To pull off this massive sting operation, the FBI needed to design a cell phone that criminals wanted to use and adopt. Their mission: to make a tech platform for the criminal underworld. And in many ways, the FBI's journey was filled with all the hallmarks of many Silicon Valley start-ups. On this show, we talk with journalist Joseph Cox, who wrote a new book about the FBI's cell phone business, called Dark Wire. And we hear from the federal prosecutor who became an unlikely tech company founder.

May 31—MITCHELL — The Palace City will soon have a brewery of its own. After two years of teases and decades of hopes that Mitchell would develop its own local brewery, Palace City Brewing Company will hop into that void later this year. The local ownership group of Doug Beck, Brett Farnham, Tim Bottum and Kyle Claussen has developed the business since 2022 and the brewery hopes to have construction finished by August and be open to the public later in the fall. When the 227 W. Railroad Ave. facility opens, it will be the conclusion of a two-year renovation of a 110-year-old brick building that once was a warehouse for fruit to be distributed around the Mitchell region. Included in the renovation is a first-floor tap room that will include the brewing operations, a second-floor event facility, and a two-story outdoor deck and patio area. All together, the facility hopes to bring something completely new to downtown Mitchell. "We've all grown up here and lived here and been successful," said Farnham, a Mitchell dentist. "We've lost so many places in town, and this is going to be a place that will be family friendly, dog friendly. ... We will have this outdoor space and once this south end of downtown gets changed, I think this will be a place where people will want to spend a gorgeous night in Mitchell." The emphasis will be on a location and a building unique to Mitchell and a place that will be friendly to families, along with locals and visitors. Once it opens, the plan is for the brewery to have many of its 20 tap lines, emphasizing local creations that will run the gamut for style and taste, along with non-alcoholic options. The brewery won't have a kitchen of its own upon its opening, but intends to partner with local businesses to offer snacks and pizzas. "We want it to be as welcoming a place as we can, with our community in mind," Beck said. The brewery was a long-held idea for the owners, with Beck and Farnham being passionate about homebrewing and feeling that Mitchell could make a local brewery work. In 2022, they became more serious about starting a business and when they looked for the name Palace City Brewing Company for a potential website, it was already snatched up. It turned out that Bottum and Claussen, both attorneys in Mitchell, were also interested in starting a brewery and had bought those domain names two-plus years earlier with an eye toward contract brewing a local line of beers. "It turned out that Tim and Kyle had intentions with the same name, so we visited with them and that's how we got on the same page," Farnham said of the name. "We're kind of known as the Palace City, so it's something that is recognizable, even to people from out of town." Soon, the four locals decided to join forces with the Palace City name and found a local building, and they approached Jason Greenway about becoming Palace City's lead brewer. With the venture coming together, it led to the discovery of the Railroad Avenue warehouse building, which hadn't been used for anything other than storage for decades. The mix of exposed wood and brick in the walls and ceilings pointed to the building having some potential but once they worked with architects from DesignArc, which recently opened a Mitchell office, ideas for an expanded outdoor spaces came alive. Greenway said the brewery design drew some inspiration from a nearly identical building in Burlington, Vermont and the Drekker Brewing location in Fargo, North Dakota, which started in a converted locomotive repair building from a former railroad facility. The brick building dates back to the mid-1910s, around the start of World War I, based on the type of elevator in the building and through looking at historical fire insurance maps of the city. The basement of the building, where Palace City Brewing will house its kegs and parts of the brewing system, already had sectioned-off storage rooms and keeps a cool temperature year-round. Not every original charming quirk about the building will make it to opening day. The 100-year-old industrial elevator in the center of the building failed earlier this year, requiring the owners to replace it with something modern, and the second floor's original wood floors couldn't be refinished and have been replaced with new wood. However, the exterior of the building will be repainted, with some of the paint being restored to its original status, balancing billboarding the new brewery and honoring the history of the building. The renovation and improvements of the site were also delayed as the brewery and its next-door neighbor, the BNSF Railway, worked out right-of-way issues to make sure both parties had access to their locations. The building is about 10 feet from a defunct set of railroad ties and about 50 feet from the active rail line. A small white brick building between The Depot and the brewery was torn down to make room for the brewery's extended patio area and for brewery parking. "We will probably have bean bags and other games for people to enjoy and it will be a little bit like artificial turf we will put down, fire pits," Farnham said. "It will just be a comfortable space, I think, for people to enjoy." Greenway and Beck said maybe the brewery could have opened sooner, especially if it was a different location. But the building, they said, is a major part of what the brewery hopes to show off and they think the extra time and care into the building's upgrades and details will be worth it when the first glass is poured. "Some places will have better beer than others and we certainly want to be one of those places," Greenway said. "But the location and the atmosphere matters a lot. We think it adds value to what we're doing." Coupled with other improvement projects in the downtown district, notably the outdoor city streetscape renovation planned in front of the neighboring Depot Pub and Grill, Palace City Brewing hopes to capitalize on the momentum for Mitchell that can be created downtown. Greenway, a Mitchell High School graduate himself who returned to the community a few years ago, is keenly aware of the criticisms often floated by residents about how Mitchell "doesn't have enough things to do." "We hope it adds to life in Mitchell," Greenway said. "There are other businesses in Mitchell that are making an investment into the community as well. When people talk about something to do, I think we're helping fill that hole."

Teachers across the country are reporting an increase in physical violence and verbal harassment by students, according to a new study released Thursday by the American Psychological Association. The data shows it’s become a problem after the pandemic. The group heard from thousands of educators through two surveys—one in 2020, asking about what educators experienced pre-pandemic, and another in 2022. This month, in our series Teachers under Attack, 9 Investigates has revealed the harsh realities teachers are facing in the classroom. In our exclusive survey, we heard from more than 8,000 teachers nationwide. 2,500 of them teach in Florida. Many of them told us, they’re afraid to go to school and have considered quitting because of violence from students. “I’ve been hit and kicked, pushed a lot, pinched, bitten, scratched. I have had things thrown at me a lot,” said Brevard County teacher Christa Luke. Luke agrees the violence in schools has only gotten worse. She’s been a teacher for more than 20 years. She’s taught in Brevard County Public Schools for 10 of those. She said the increased violence has pushed her-- at some points-- to consider quitting the profession. “It was like a volatile storm every single day, on top of the crazy amounts of paperwork that I had to do and the actual trying to actually teach and caring,” Luke said. “It’s like being abused every day.” Despite having supportive staff and administrators, Luke said she asked her supervisor for a different position at her school-- because of the violence. Now, she’s taking it year-by-year on whether she’ll stay in the profession. According to the study, 42% of teachers surveyed reported at least one attack prior to the pandemic. That number rose to 56% by the time pandemic restrictions were lifted. Dr. Susan McMahon helped lead the study. She’s the chair of the American Psychological Association task force on Violence against Educators and School Personnel. McMahon believes the increase in violence is caused by stresses produced by the pandemic. “With going remote and teaching online, and then you combine that with learning losses, all of the challenges that we experienced in during the pandemic with loss of life and stress-- think that those kinds of things contributed to an overall, even more challenging time in schools,” McMahon said. Teachers are also reporting more verbal attacks by students. Pre-pandemic, 65% of teachers surveyed reported verbal harassment or threatening behavior from a student. By 2022, 80 percent of teachers reported it. “I get called an idiot by, you know, on a daily basis, in other things that you can’t see on camera,” Luke said. “I might be doing breakfast duty and saying, ‘hey, we can’t go there’ or ‘clean up your mess’ and it becomes a tirade.” The study found the verbal harassment isn’t only caused by students-- but parents too! Pre-pandemic, 53% of teachers surveyed reported at least one incident of verbal harassment or threatening behavior from a parent or guardian. By 2022, 63% of teachers reported it. McMahon says verbal harassment and threatening behavior can include intimidation, bullying, threats, or even sexual harassment. “You just have some parents who are like, ‘my kid wouldn’t do that’ or, ‘well, what did the teacher do?’ The big thing is that teachers are looked at as the enemies,” Luke said. The study found parents’ bad behavior towards teachers have gone beyond verbal harassment. Prior to the pandemic, only 1 percent of teachers reported violent encounters with parents. That number jumped to 26% post-pandemic. McMahon says the data points to the need for schools to develop relationships with parents. In our exclusive nationwide survey, two-thirds of the teachers surveyed blame lack of parent involvement or discipline as a key factor in student behavior. McMahon added there also needs to be more awareness about the violence teachers experience. “If we can recognize what’s going on for them, we might be able to have more empathy and might be less likely to lash out when there’s an issue,” McMahon said. “Teachers need support from parents. We’re on the same side,” Luke said. As we’ve reported earlier in our series, 58 percent of Florida teachers who took our survey said they have considered retiring or quitting because of the violence. The study by the APA is reporting a large amount as well. McMahon says they found teachers are feeling unprepared for the violence and harassment they experience. She said all of this points to the fact policy changes are urgently needed from the school districts to the state level. Teachers consistently asked for more training in de-escalation strategies, threat assessments, and trauma-informed strategies.

Hundreds of rugby league playing rangatahi and wāhine are participating in a whānau Waipareira two-day rugby league challenge, being played at Avondale Racecourse. Players have come from as far afield far Rotorua and Northland, as well as teams from Tāmaki Makaurau. Around 1000 players are participating today and tomorrow. Waipareira chairman Raymond Hall said one of the tournament’s highlights is the inclusion of open-age women’s teams. “These talented women will showcase their passion for the sport, highlighting the fact that women can excel in rugby league, further empowering female athletes within the community,” Hall told the Herald. He said Waipareira was always looking for ways to connect with its community - Māori and non-Maori - and rugby league was a healthy way to engage. “Te Whānau o Waipareira Trust is proud to support and promote this rugby league tournament, catering to ages ranging from under 10 to under 17, with additional open age groups,” Hall said. “This initiative aims to promote physical activity, build self-confidence and provide opportunities for young people to engage in positive and healthy competition. “We are thrilled to host this tournament, which goes beyond the game of rugby league. “Our primary focus is to foster a sense of belonging and empowerment among our youth, allowing them to grow and thrive in a supportive environment.” “The tournament features participation from local schools, clubs, and community groups, serving as a testament to Whānau Waipareira’s commitment to inclusivity and community collaboration.” The tournament ends on Sunday.

Dunedin-based artist Simon Richardson has been announced as a finalist for Australasia’s prestigious portraiture award, the Archibald Prize, with a painting of renowned New Zealand photographer Fiona Pardington. The annual Archibald Prize was first awarded in 1921. It is administered by the trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and valued at A$100,000 ($108,000). Richardson is one of 10 New Zealand artists shortlisted for the Archibald Prize in its more than 100-year history, and only one Kiwi has ever won an associated award: Auckland-based Martin Ball, who took out the Packing Room Prize in 2008. Richardson was one of 57 finalists announced yesterday from more than 1000 entries received. The egg tempera painting features Pardington (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Māmoe and Ngāti Kahungunu) MNZM, Chevalier Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, reclining on a couch with her dog Minerva. Richardson has also painted huia on the painting frame, referencing the celebrated artist’s still-life photos of the now-extinct native New Zealand bird. “I am extremely honoured to be a finalist for this year’s Archibald Prize,” Richardson said. “Painting Fiona was a huge privilege in itself, and it is incredible for it to be shortlisted for such a coveted prize. “For the last few years, I’ve been working on portraits of artists living in the South Island. I got in touch with Fiona through a mutual friend and seeing her reclining on her couch with her dog Minerva, I knew that was how I should paint her, surrounded by all her interesting and beloved things.” Richardson has painted full time since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Otago Polytechnic School of Art in 1996. He lives and works in Broad Bay, Dunedin, with his wife Gepke and children Mila and Eben. In 2016, his portrait of his daughter was selected for the BP Portrait Award at the National Gallery, London. He has also previously won the Canadian Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant three times, which enabled him to visit European museums, helping to inform his approach to portraiture. Pardington said as an “extremely private person”, she felt “excited and overwhelmed” to sit for the portrait. “Simon’s portrait is therefore unique. My house is my citadel. This is me, with my darling Minerva. I’m honoured and hope everyone can see Simon’s intuitive rapport with his subjects – right now it’s Minerva and her doting owner. “Simon’s technical excellence and ease, his exquisite sensitivity as he carefully considers and therefore honours each person he paints, this is how he expresses his strength as a master painter. He’s one of us, not above us, but on a life journey with us. He’s the consummate portrait painter. “Minerva and I did our very best to meet him halfway in this very private portrait, at our off-the-grid home up in the Hunter Hills just north of Waimate, Te Waipounamu.” The winner of the Archibald Prize will be announced on Friday, June 7.

WARNING: This article discusses violence towards children and may be upsetting to some readers. A father is alleged to have subjected his five sons to extreme psychological terror - including lining them up for execution the day after the 1990 Aramoana massacre and telling them he was going to do the same to them. “I’m just playing mind games with you,” he is alleged to have said as the children screamed in terror. Cohen is accused of subjecting his five sons to severe physical and psychological abuse over more than a decade. The abuse allegedly took place between 1988 and 1999 in various locations in New Zealand including Fielding, Himitangi Beach in Palmerston North and Te Kōpuru. It was another 15 years before the boys came forward as adults and made statements to the police. Some of the charges involve sharp weapons, firearms, injuring with intent or reckless disregard, threatening to kill and 16 charges of cruelty to a child, including shooting a cat while a child held it. Crown lawyer Trelise Needham opened her case to the jury by laying out the background of the relationship between Cohen and the boy’s mother as violent. She said the children were exposed to violence from an early age. After their parents separated the boys were placed in multiple foster homes before coming back into the full-time care of their father. The Crown alleges the sons endured brutal punishments for minor infractions such as failing to complete school assignments, leaving clothes on the floor, or getting hurt while playing. Cohen is alleged to have used his fists, bamboo sticks and jug cords to inflict pain and the boys were allegedly threatened with a shotgun on multiple occasions. On day two of the trial, one son recalled the “Aramoana incident” where Cohen is alleged to have lined his children up near the breakfast bar and said he was going to do the same to them, but would only need one bullet. He allegedly told them to keep their heads still before leaving the room to get a rifle and returning saying: “I’m going to f****** do it! Say goodbye to each other!”. The complainants were reportedly terrified before Cohen allegedly said: “I’m just playing mind games with you”. “Thinking back as a kid, I was baffled and sh** scared. I was fearful of running away and leaving my brothers there,” the eldest son said in evidence. Another key allegation in the trial revolves around an incident where Cohen allegedly made his children walk 10 km each way along Himatanga Beach in Palmerston North. One of the children was only four years old at the time. Cohen allegedly had a knife and did not tell the boys why they were walking so far and the Crown said he made comments about burying them in the dunes. The son gave evidence that it was not normal for them to do a 20 km walk. “It was completely different,” he said. “It felt like we were being marched out for him to do us in.” Cohen shook his head as the testimony was being given. In an evidential interview played to the jury, another son, and the one who reportedly took most of the alleged abuse, recounted significant memories of trauma. “The reason for his excuse for his abuse was that I reminded him of my mother and that used to infuriate him. “I was not good at times tables and everyone I got wrong, I got the jug chord across the hands. “He taught me to hold my breath by the sheer fact he used to hold me around the neck until I almost passed out telling me: “Go to sleep”. “There wasn’t a day that went by that I wouldn’t get a hiding.” The son said the only memory he has of his mother is a photo Cohen allegedly put along a fence line and fired gunshots at. He also claims Cohen would make him eat his faeces when he soiled the bed, which the defence refuted. Cohen’s lawyer Arthur Fairley said although his client admits to disciplining the boys, many allegations are exaggerated. “It was a different time, this was a time before the anti-smacking laws and he was a father raising five boys on his own,” Fairley said. Fairley suggested to the witness that nothing to do with faeces ever occurred. “That’s wrong. It did,” he responded. “Your dad’s case is, he never used to kick you,” Fairley put to the son. “That’s false,” he responded. “Your dad’s case is he never used to punch you.” “That’s false.” “Your dad’s case is he never held you up against the ground.” “That’s false. He’s lying.” The trial is expected to continue into next week. Shannon Pitman is a Whangārei based reporter for Open Justice covering courts in the Te Tai Tokerau region. She is of Ngāpuhi/ Ngāti Pūkenga descent and has worked in digital media for the past five years. She joined NZME in 2023.

|
If you don’t like rain, snow, or getting cold, you might just love this city. But after 4000 hours of annual sunshine, you might just hate it. Because of this, the bright city has a sunny atmosphere and warm weather all year long, making it a great place for travellers who want to avoid cold winters. While relatively unheard of, the sunny spot is the 11th largest city in Arizona and is nestled between Phoenix, Arizona, and San Diego, California, creating a diverse cultural scene for locals and visitors alike. Yuma is also renowned as the winter vegetable capital of the world. Because of the generous sunlight it receives every year, agriculture is Yuma’s top industry, growing more than 175 types of crops and producing 91 per cent of leafy vegetables eaten in North America during the winter season. However, locals have warned interested individuals against flocking to the sunny city because it’s not as idyllic as one might presume. The city spends 91 per cent of its year with the sun beating down, and the city experiences an arid climate, similar to a desert, with less than 200mm rainfall per year and temperatures regularly exceeding 40C. In fact, the sunny facade can be deceiving. A recent Reddit thread about Yuma had locals and tourists sharing their personal experiences in the city. One of the most upvoted comments said: “‘Sunny’ makes it sound all nice. In actual fact, you’re just kind of slowly baking to death.” Another commenter said: “I lived in AZ for 7 years after coming from the northeast. It is kinda surreal: there is no weather. The weather is hot or less-hot.” Despite being the sunniest city on earth, Yuma is not the hottest place in the world. The aptly named Furnace Creek in Death Valley, California, holds that record with a daily high average temperature of 45C during the summer. Yuman residents and tourists avoiding cold winters often spend their days outdoors, entertaining themselves on the Colorado River and lakes, tubing, canoeing and boating, or hiking and biking at the Imperial Sand Dunes. If you’d like to join them, the journey from Auckland to Yuma takes about 22 hours and requires taking three flights. Pack sunscreen.

The Football Ferns preparation for the the upcoming Paris Olympics has started with a defeat against world number 7, and Fifa Women’s World Cup 2023 quarter-finalists, Japan, in a 2-0 loss. With head coach Jitka Klimková opting to take a leave of absence from the team for this tour, assistant coach Michael Mayne stepped into the role for the game. Of concern for the Ferns will be that yet again they have failed to find the back of the next, this time unable to register a shot on target. To look to deal with the threat of the dangerous Japanese side, Mayne picked an experienced defence with a combined 413 caps across the back four of Ali Riley, Rebekah Stott, Katie Bowen and CJ Bott. The first half saw Japan dominating the game with their passing style but the New Zealand defence held firm, giving away few clear cut chances. It wasn’t until added time in the first half that the Asian side managed to finally make a breakthrough, to the disappointment of the Ferns to had held them off for all of normal time in the first 45. A neat interplay of passes around the Ferns box found Tanaka who finished neatly past Anna Leat in the New Zealand goal and give Japan the advantage at the break. Just after half-time Japan made it two. A corner was swung in from Kitagawa and found Koga at the back post who had lost her marker for an easy headed finish low into the Ferns goal. The Football Ferns battled to try and find a way back into the game, one of the best chances falling to substitute Gabi Rennie who was picked out by fellow sub Ally Green with a great cross but couldn’t beat her marker to the ball. The final moments saw Japan push for a third but Anna Leat produced a good save in added time to keep it at two. Speaking after the match, acting head coach Michael Mayne praised his side for the way they adapted to the challenge Japan presented: “Once we adjusted to some of the problems they were posing us, and were able to figure out how to get good ball in the middle third, I actually think we played really well. “Obviously a world class side like Japan will really punish us if we get small things wrong, so we expected that, but I thought the reaction to those moments was really good.” The Ferns have a chance to test themselves again against the same side on Tuesday morning NZT.

A men’s pair will be missing when the New Zealand Olympic Committee announces its rowing squad selected for the Paris Games on Tuesday afternoon. A shock result at last weekend’s World Cup regatta in Lucerne saw New Zealand’s number two pairing of Campbell Crouch and Ben Taylor upset the top pairing of Phillip Wilson and Dan Williamson by 1.26 seconds to win the B final. Wilson and Williamson, who before the World Cup meet were largely expected to be automatic selections for Paris, finished ninth overall. The unexpected result in the team’s first international regatta of the season has forced Rowing New Zealand to delay nominating its men’s pair for selection, and will instead wait until the next World Cup meet in Poland later this month to confirm which crew to nominate. The men’s pair is one of nine boat classes New Zealand has qualified for Paris, and the rest of the eight crews will be formally announced by the NZOC at a ceremony alongside Lake Karapiro on Tuesday afternoon. “Post World Cup II [in Lucerne] was when Rowing New Zealand considered nominating athletes to the Games Team. RNZ has since nominated eight of the nine qualified crews to the NZOC for consideration for selection,” a Rowing New Zealand spokesperson confirmed. “The men’s pair nomination to the NZOC will be held over until after World Cup III in Poznan, Poland between June 14-16.” Wilson and Williamson were a part of the gold medal-winning eight crew at the Tokyo Games, but with the absence of an eight crew for Paris, the duo linked up in the two-man boat through the recent summer season. Rowing New Zealand sent the back-up pair of Crouch and Taylor to Lucerne to compete alongside Wilson and Williamson, who’ve dealt with injuries and a short timeframe to link up and prepare for the Olympics. Both pairings will head to Poznan as part of a smaller squad for the final World Cup meet of the season, while other team members head home to continue preparations for Paris. It gives Wilson and Williamson a final chance to bid for selection, with Rowing New Zealand selectors to then nominate to NZOC the pair it believes has the best chance of winning a medal at Paris. The nomination then needs to be ratified by NZOC, on the condition the nominated crew is capable of achieving a top-16 position at the Olympics.

Columbia College Chicago lays off 70 faculty and staff members amid budget deficit The school faces an expected $38 million budget gap, which in part was caused by declining enrollment, it said. Another 32 vacant positions will be eliminated. Columbia College Chicago announced this week it is laying off 70 faculty and staff members to reposition itself as a decline in enrollment has led to a growing budget shortfall. Another 32 vacant positions will be eliminated, a school spokesperson said in a statement. The school’s budget deficit has ballooned to an expected $38 million from about $20 million last year. The layoffs come a few months after Columbia College President Kwang-Wu Kim announced he is stepping down this year after more than a decade on the job. Kim was the target of criticism during a six-week strike by adjunct faculty that upended the school’s fall semester and left many students to question whether they would return in the spring. Staff members being laid off work in positions “across the college,” leaving 1,340 faculty positions after the layoffs, the college said. It wasn’t immediately clear how many of the laid-off employees were faculty or staff. Impacted workers will receive severance packages. “Declining enrollment trends, which have affected much of U.S. higher education, have contributed to deficits and administrative adjustments are needed to reflect the fact that the college serves fewer students,” the school spokesperson said in a statement. Enrollment has declined from 11,400 in 2010 to 6,400 as of 2022, according to federal data. Adjunct faculty workers at Columbia College went on strike last year after the school cut hundreds of classes to help fill the school’s budget gap. The strike ended in December after the union approved a deal with Columbia that, according to union leaders, included restoration of some spring classes that had been slated for cancellation, a health care benefit and a guarantee of instruction for adjunct faculty members.

Poor, aggressive baserunning decisions prove costly in Cubs' 5-4 loss “But today, it’s on me,” third-base coach Willie Harris said. “I know those guys in the clubhouse; they know me, and they know I’m for them. They’ll pick me up tomorrow.”
Poor baserunning decisions cost the Cubs a winnable game in Friday’s 5-4 loss to the Reds. After right fielder Seiya Suzuki doubled to left field in the ninth inning, third base coach Willie Harris sent third baseman Nick Madrigal home. But Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz was the relay man and threw a 93.3-mph rocket to home plate to catcher Tyler Stephenson for the out. Harris — who always has an aggressive mindset — sensed an opportunity to score and tie the game. The play backfired. Instead of having runners on second and third with one out and first baseman Cody Bellinger up to hit, it was just Suzuki on third with two outs. Bellinger flew out to end the game. It’s a questionable call when you factor in that Madrigal is in the 58th percentile for sprint speed, according to Baseball Savant. “Willie has been fantastic, and his aggressiveness has got us a lot of runs this year,” said manager Craig Counsell, who earned his second ejection this season protesting whether or not a ball hit Madrigal during his at-bat. “It didn’t work this time.” Harris said he felt confident in the send because of left fielder Jacob Hurtubise’s arm strength and because with Bellinger up in the lineup, he figured the Reds would walk him. Harris said he wouldn’t make that decision again. “I’m trying to score right there,” Harris said. “It didn’t work out for us, unfortunately. But you have to be aggressive; you have to try to score runs.” Harris took accountability for shortstop Dansby Swanson’s baserunning gaffe in the fourth inning. With two outs, center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong singled on a groundball to second baseman Jonathan India, who made a diving stop and threw to third base. Swanson came too far around third base and was tagged out to end the inning. “Coming around third, if that ball scoots through centerfield or he bobbles it a little bit, we’re safe at home, but he made a play,” Harris said. “It’s the big leagues, they make plays sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t work out for us. Today, it was one of those days where it didn’t work out for me particularly.” It’s been a frustrating May for the Cubs, who finished the month at 10-18. The margin for error for the Cubs is small, especially when they’re making errors running the bases. There’s not much the Cubs are doing right at the moment. The bullpen gave up three runs Friday, the defense is ranked 25th in defensive runs saved (-13), and the offense is scoring below league average. But the baserunning miscues are inexcusable because they’re the one aspect of the game the team and players can control. Entering Friday’s game, the Cubs had the second-most outs on base in the majors (25). “With Willie, we’ve sent runners aggressively, and that’s gotten us runs,” Counsell said. “The play at third with Dansby, that’s a tricky play. Now, there’s been some others throughout the season that we made some mistakes for sure.” Their struggles with runners in scoring position (2-for-12) continued Friday. The team has to clean up the sloppiness on the base paths. It’s one thing to lose; it’s another to beat yourself. Whether it’s the bullpen, the sluggish offense or baserunning miscues, the Cubs continue to give away games within their grasp. “Moving forward, I’ll be less aggressive with one out, knowing the situation a little bit better,” Harris said. “But today, it’s on me. I know those guys in the clubhouse; they know me, and they know I’m for them. They’ll pick me up tomorrow.”

Coworking space for women opens in Beverly with services to support entrepreneurs Founder LaTanya Orr launched FoundHERS Suite as a place that fosters entrepreneurship and a sense of community among women. Coworking space FoundHERS Suite launched Friday with the goal of growing female-led businesses and fostering collaboration among entrepreneurs. The 2,300-square-foot space in Beverly, at 1808-10 W. 103rd St., has a lounge area, two conference rooms that can be booked for other uses like private events or yoga, a podcast studio and a spa/therapy suite. “We believe in empowering women to become entrepreneurs and promoting a sense of community and shared goals,” said founder LaTanya Orr. Dozens of people attended FoundHERS Suite’s grand opening, including Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) and resident Karyn Pettigrew, CEO of ZoeGoes, a sustainable women’s clothing brand. “I had been lamenting the fact that there was no shared office space on the South Side,” Pettigrew said. “LaTanya has solved that. The space is lovely and in a super friendly neighborhood.” Orr said there’s no other office in the area that has business services for women entrepreneurs such as those offered through FoundHERS Suite’s Rehoboth Center for Women’s Entrepreneurship. The center offers accounting, legal, marketing and nonprofit management support for a fee. FoundHERS Suite memberships range from $29 per month for access to virtual events to $199 for a hot desk and other offerings and $400 for an office with access to amenities on-site. Orr, who grew up east of Beverly, is a strategy coach and designer. She lived in Michigan for more than 30 years before moving to Chicago in 2021. She began her career in marketing and public relations at the University of Michigan and eventually started her own strategy business. She first saw a coworking space in Southfield, Michigan, 30 years ago and the striking concept and space left a lasting impression. After reflecting on her career last year, Orr decided to rekindle her vision to create a coworking space but one geared toward women. She envisioned a hybrid of virtual and in-person services and events, such as trainings and seminars, to build community. For example, FoundHERS Suite will host a free screening of Netflix’s “Black Barbie: A Documentary,” executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, on Juneteenth. Orr invested $40,000 from her savings and retirement funds to launch the coworking space. Although she’s been an entrepreneur for 20 years, creating FoundHERS Suite was “a whole other level. I didn’t have a brick-and-mortar space before. I’m responsible for something bigger than myself,” Orr said. She also wanted to invest in her former neighborhood that she describes as a diverse and thriving community for businesses and families. She scouted sites in the Loop, South Loop and the southwest suburbs, among other areas. But Beverly felt right, as did the location in a vintage building that didn’t have a commercial feel and had the right amount of space. “It was perfect. It just felt like this was it,” Orr said.

Jennifer Lopez's canceled summer tour is putting an end to upcoming shows in July at LA's Kia Forum and the Honda Center in Orange County. The 54-year-old singer said Friday she was "heartsick" and "devastated" to announce she was no longer performing in more than 30 cities as part of a tour set to begin June 26 in Orlando, Florida and end Aug. 31 in Houston, Texas. The tour was meant to promote her new album, "This is Me...Now." She's canceling it to have more time with "children, family and close friends," Live Nation said Friday. "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down," Lopez wrote on her website, OntheJLo. "Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary." She goes on to write, addressing fans, that she will "make it up" and "we will all be together again." "I love you so much. Until next time.." the message ends. Among the canceled shows across North America are tour dates on July 11 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood and July 13 at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Other concerts were planned in major cities including Miami, New York City and Toronto. Fans who bought tickets through Ticketmaster will automatically be refunded, according to Live Nation. Meanwhile, people who purchased tickets through third-party vendors such as StubHub, SeatGeek and VividSeats will need to reach out to those sites.

While it might be one of Colorado's most picturesque water recreational locations, Dillon Reservoir also boasts some of the coldest water in the state, as it's fed directly from an alpine snowpack melting down. "This cold water temperature in this lake, we are in the high forties," explained Summit County Sheriff's Office Boat Ranger Kevin Kelble. While that temperature eventually does warm up, it means if folks fall into the reservoir, they're in for a shock. A cold shock. "Your survival time without (snow) run-off is probably one to two minutes before you lose the ability to swim," Kelble said, detailing a condition called "cold shock." "It is not hypothermia, but because the water is so cold you are going to lose that ability to use your muscles and you just sink like a stone." It's a concern every time someone is blown off their paddle board or kayak, especially if someone is not wearing a lifejacket (as mandated by law.) Already Colorado has seen eight drownings, six of which were recreational. Of those six, none of the victims were wearing life jackets. Kelble said it's a terrible trend to see this early in the season. "A trend we need to stop, best way to stop that is prevention," Kelble said. Just over Memorial Day Weekend, the SCSO recorded multiple rescues from the reservoir due to a popup storm in the afternoon, when winds and waves sprouted in the matter of a few minutes. "All of the sudden the wind went up to 30 to 40 mph and we had two to three foot waves, we ended up with multiple rescues going on at the same time," Kelble said. While they were able to get to every person that day, rangers are hopeful that the importance of life jackets are not lost on people; that includes actually wearing them, not just having them nearby. Kelble said he has seen it too many times, where the wind will pick up, knock someone off their water craft, and leave them stranded without a way to get back. "If you choose to put that life jacket on stuffed up under the canue or kayak, there goes your life jacket," Kelble said. "It is blowing exactly where your paddle board is, you are not going to be able to swim to it, especially in this lake, you are going to lose that ability to swim and you are going to drown, it is that simple. "

Newcastle prop Jacob Saifiti avoids suspension for headbutting serial NRL pest Reed Mahoney Was sinbinned late in the match against the Bulldogs Coach said he was baited into the action Was lucky to escape a ban for striking Newcastle Knights' prop Jacob Saifiti is lucky to have avoided suspension after an all-time brain fade in his club's 32-2 loss to the Bulldogs on Friday that saw him headbutt serial pest Reed Mahoney. Despite this being Saifiti's second offence, he will avoid suspension if he accepts a $3000 fine from the NRL Judiciary for an early guilty plea. If he contests and loses, he faces a two-game suspension. Bulldogs rake Reed Mahoney is known for irritating his opponents, despite his small stature at 5ft 9in. 'It's not like you're not gonna know that that fella is going to be involved in it. He does it every week,' Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien said after the match. 'We need to be better there.' Mahoney's tactics provoked Saifiti in the final minute of the game, resulting in the headbutt. Bulldogs hooker Reed Mahoney is known for being a pest on the field and had words with Newcastle prop Jacob Saifiti late in the game Saifiti took the bait and headbutted Mahoney, getting sinbinned for his trouble but escaping a suspension from the NRL's Match Review Committee As Mahoney attempted to score near the tryline, a scuffle ensued, with a referee intervening: 'Boys, boys, boys. Come on. There is a minute to go. Away we go.' he said. But Saifiti was seeing the red mist and after exchanging words with the Bulldogs hooker he retaliated with a headbutt. Commentator Dan Ginnane said: 'Oooooh! Jacob, Jacob you can't do that. You cannot do that! Oh my goodness. One of the most unnecessary actions of the year.' 'Reed Mahoney has got into the minds of the Newcastle Knights and it's going to cost Jacob Saifiti a sin bin here – and he might have a little worrying to do overnight.' Fellow commentator Cooper Cronk said: 'With a minute to go on the clock, Saifiti has let his team down with a bad, bad decision. 'And the worst thing is what could come of it. It obviously wasn't a lot of contact but still.' Mahoney had a previous altercation with Newcastle's Jack Hetherington in April, receiving a yellow card for inciting the prop forward. He also clashed with Wests Tigers' Alex Seyfarth the following week. Mahoney was just happy to break Newcastle's four-game winning streak and keep the Bulldogs finals hopes alive Newcastle coach Adam O'Brien said his players needed to be better than taking the bait When asked about the incident with Saifiti, Mahoney said, 'I'm not sure. We'll enjoy the win and get back Monday. 'We've got a big game coming up into a bye, so we'll be looking forward to that.' O'Brien felt his men had lost some mental sharpness after a bye the previous week and become distracted by the adulation coming their way after four consecutive wins. 'The thing for now is we've got to make sure that we go down (to Melbourne Storm) with a really good mindset, that we can play well, and we need to prepare and train that way,' he said. 'We probably need to batten the hatches down and get off social media and don't read too much what you guys are gonna write. Maybe we were reading too much of that leading up to this one about how good we were going. So now we'll look inwards and try to fix it.'

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — 31-year-old Angela Klickner turned herself in to local law enforcement after Mesa County Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for her arrest. Klickner is facing 10 charges, including sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, related to an incident at Landmark Baptist Church where she volunteered from 2022 to 2023. On Thursday, Angela Klickner appeared in Judge Barrett’s Mesa County courtroom for a bond hearing. Klickner, along with her family, requested the court to lower the bond or allow a Personal Recognizance bond with GPS monitoring. Her family, including Klickner’s four children, wrote letters to the court explaining how much they needed her. A mother of one of the victims addressed the court on behalf of all the victims and their parents, asking for a higher bond, as they do not feel that GPS monitoring can keep their children safe. Judge Barrett ruled to keep Klickner’s bail at a $100,000 cash bond. Klickner’s husband stormed out of the courtroom, throwing something to the ground as he walked out. When he returned to the courtroom, Judge Barrett asked him to remain outside for the rest of the hearing. Copyright 2024 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Jasper Health, a cancer care platform startup, laid off a substantial part of its workforce, TechCrunch has learned. Engineering and product design were among the departments impacted by the cuts, according to posts on LinkedIn from impacted employees. TechCrunch was unable to independently verify the exact number of people who were cut, but an industry source who knew impacted people believes it was approximately half of Jasper Health's small team. According to PitchBook data, Jasper Health had about 48 employees before the cuts. The company's co-founder and CEO, Adam Pellegrini, didn't respond to TechCrunch's request for comment. TechCrunch's attempts to reach Jasper Health's chief operating officer, chief growth officer, and head of marketing via email were unsuccessful, with messages bouncing back. A little over two years ago, in February 2022, Jasper Health raised a $25 million Series A led by General Catalyst, with participation from Human Capital, W Health Ventures, Redesign Health and 7wireVentures. At that time, the company said it raised a total of $31 million in venture capital. Most significantly, Jasper is a General Catalyst portfolio company. The VC firm is one of the most active healthcare investors. It is so serious about bringing new startup-led technology into the US healthcare system that earlier this year, the VC firm purchased an Ohio-based health system called Suma Health, an unprecedented move in venture capital. But clearly, that doesn't mean that all GC-backed health tech startups will flourish up-and-to-the-right without setbacks. Jasper is also notable because it was conceived and launched in 2018 by Redesign Health, a venture firm and studio that creates new healthcare companies. Run by CEO Brett Shaheen (previously at Lone Pine Capital and Carlyle Group), Redesign says it's built 50 healthcare startups that have collectively raised $1.3 billion. Redesign, which is itself backed by LPs like General Catalyst, CVS Health Ventures, and Samsung Next, also had its own layoffs earlier this year, Fierce Healthcare reported. Jasper's digital but human-led platform offers care navigation, patient support and remote patient monitoring. The company also provides psychosocial care. It says that approximately 12% of its users are in remission from cancer. Pelligrini, the company's founder, started his career as a surgical specialist in the US Army. He also helped build the American Cancer Society's website, which provides information to patients and caregivers about the disease. Before founding Jasper, he was the senior vice president of virtual care and consumer health innovation at CVS Health. Jasper Health's competitors include Thyme Care and Reimagine Care.

Thurston County’s public health director resigned Friday just 17 months after taking on the role. The county hired David Bayne to lead its Public Health and Social Services department in December 2022 after a nationwide search. He submitted his resignation letter to County Manager Leonard Hernandez on Friday, according to a news release. “While we are disappointed to see David leave the county, we appreciate his leadership and contributions to our county, especially as we continue to work through the recovery phase of the COVID pandemic,” Hernandez said in a prepared statement. The release says Bayne chose to “pursue a new opportunity” outside the county. Jennifer Freiheit, assistant director of PHSS, has reportedly agreed to serve as interim director for now. “The leadership team looks forward to supporting Dr. Freiheit and all the hardworking employees of PHSS through this transition,” Hernandez said. “The work they do is vital to our community.” Bayne and Freiheit began their roles at about the same time and have been working together since then, per the release. The county reportedly offered Freiheit the assistant director position after the same nationwide search that led the county to Bayne. This is the second time within the last three years that a PHSS director has resigned. Former PHSS director Schelli Slaughter announced her resignation in December 2021, citing personal reasons. Slaughter left the role in January 2022 after leading the department through the early years of the pandemic. The county initially said it wanted to replace Slaughter in early 2022, but it took a long nationwide recruitment process for them to find a replacement. It’s unclear if a similar process will follow Bayne’s resignation. The release only says the county is assessing the department’s next steps. Bayne previously worked over four years for the Washington State Department of Health and nearly seven years at the Georgia Department of Public Health, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Denis Bouanga scored on a first-half penalty kick, Mateusz Bogusz added a late goal and Hugo Lloris notched his fourth straight clean sheet to help Los Angeles FC up its win streak to four and snap Minnesota United's six-match unbeaten run with a 2-0 victory on Wednesday night. LAFC (8-4-3), which lost to the Columbus Crew in the championship match last season, dropped a 3-1 decision on the road to the San Jose Earthquakes to begin the month and has not lost or surrendered a goal since. Minnesota United (7-3-4) had used a 4-0-2 run to climb into a second-place tie in the Western Conference. The loss drops the club into fourth place — one behind LAFC and two behind the Los Angeles Galaxy. Real Salt Lake leads the conference with 30 points. LAFC grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 38th minute and took it into halftime when Bouanga scored on a PK. Bouanga's kick followed a foul on Minnesota United defender DJ Taylor. Bouanga has nine goals and five assists this season. That was it until Bogusz scored unassisted in the 82nd minute for a two-goal lead. It was his sixth netter this season. Lloris finished with two saves for LAFC. The 37-year-old Lloris has allowed just 19 goals in 15 starts in his first season in the league. Dayne St. Claire saved four shots for Minnesota United. Both keepers had one save in the first half. LAFC played without midfielder Eduard Atuesta because of a red-card suspension. Minnesota United returns home to play Sporting Kansas City on Saturday. LAFC will host FC Dallas on Saturday.

The between former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and social media star Jake Paul has been postponed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare up last weekend, Netflix announced Friday. "Tyson's recent ulcer flare up has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks," the streaming giant, which was slated to livestream the fight in July, announced in a statement posted to X. Netflix said the fight "will be rescheduled for a date later this year after Mike's able to resume training with no limitations and both fighters can have equal time to prepare." Paul's company, Most Valuable Promotions, also confirmed the news. "The recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations," the statement read. "The new date of the fight will be announced by next Friday, June 7th." First announced in March, the fight was initially scheduled to take place in AT&T Stadium in Texas on July 20. The 27-year-old Paul, a YouTube star who turned to pro boxing four years ago, has won nine of his last ten fights. Tyson, the undisputed world heavyweight champ from 1987 to 1990, retired in 2005. The 57-year-old suffered on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles Sunday due to an ulcer flare up, his representatives said in a statement. "Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good," Tyson said in a statement. "I'm heartbroken, speechless, gutted. We've been working so hard over here," Paul said in a video posted to X Friday. "I do value Mike's health first and foremost. Love that guy, I have so much respect for him…I'm ready whenever you are."

|
Aaron Judge hit his 275th home run, Juan Soto broke things open with a bases-clearing triple in the seventh inning and the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-3 on Thursday night. Judge joined Lou Gehrig as the only Yankees players to have at least 12 home runs and 12 doubles in a calendar month with a two-run shot off Patrick Sandoval (2-8) in the fourth inning. Gehrig accomplished the feat in July 1930. It also was Judge's 18th long ball of the season, which is tied with Baltimore's Gunnar Henderson and Houston's Kyle Tucker for the MLB lead. "Just a special player doing special things," manager Aaron Boone said. "I thought we needed a shot of energy. Judge's homer got them going. Put together another big inning (in the seventh) and then Carlos (Rodón) giving us another strong start was big." Despite the win, the Yankees had a pair of streaks snapped. Anthony Volpe went 0 for 4, ending his hitting streak at 21 games. He matched Arizona's Ketel Marte for the longest in the majors this season. Rodón (7-2) gave up three runs in six-plus innings, ending the starting staff's MLB-record run of 16 games going at least five innings and allowing two runs or fewer. "Volpe, what a run it has been for him, too. To get over 20 games, especially now is pretty impressive," Boone said. "As far as the pitchers, sign me up for six-plus innings and three runs Carlos got us. Another strong outing for one of our starters." Logan O'Hoppe hit his fourth home run in eight games, but the Angels' home woes continued. They dropped five of six during their homestand and are 7-21 at The Big A this season. After Soto led off the inning with a walk, Judge put the Yankees on top when he connected on a sweeper by Sandoval that didn't have much break and drove it 433 feet into the stands in left-center. The homer also tied Judge with Jorge Posada for eighth in franchise history. "We were a little slow, a little flat, really couldn't get anything rolling," Judge said. "Hitting that homer to give us a lead, especially Carlos, with the way he was dealing ... The (four) strikeouts (Judge had) will stick with me, but I'm happy with the win." Sandoval struck out seven in six innings and allowed two runs and two hits. The homer to Judge, though, loomed large. "One mistake pitch that he got to, probably shouldn't have thrown it," Sandoval said. "Logan wanted changeup and I should've thrown it. I didn't have a lot of confidence or feel for it early. I had confidence in the sweeper, got him on it last time and just left it over when he hit it." O'Hoppe's solo shot in the second was the only hit Rodón allowed in six innings. The left-hander hit the wall in the seventh, when the first three runners to reach base. He was lifted after Kevin Pillar's RBI double. The Angels had the bases loaded with two outs in the seventh when Cole Tucker's base hit to left drove in Pillar to end the starters' streak. Rodón, who has won his last five starts, allowed only three hits, walked one and struck out five. The Yankees had a 2-1 lead after six innings before breaking it open. Adam Cimber, who came in for starter Patrick Sandoval, allowed five of the six hitters he faced to reach base, including four via walk. Cimber walked Oswaldo Cabrera and Volpe with the bases loaded to make it 4-1. José Suarez then came in and was greeted with Soto's three-run triple into the right-field corner. TRAINER'S ROOM Yankees: RHP Clarke Schmidt went on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, due to a right lat strain. Angels: 3B Miguel Sanó (left knee inflammation) has had his rehab stint delayed after he accidentally burned himself with a heating pad Sunday while trying to treat the knee. UP NEXT Yankees: RHP Marcus Stroman (4-2, 2.76 ERA) gets the call for Friday's series opener in San Francisco. Angels: A short three-game road trip in Seattle. RHP José Soriano (2-5, 3.61 ERA) takes the mound Friday.

Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. Mexico's upcoming presidential election has already attracted a lot of media attention due to the fact that it is expected to deliver the country’s first female head of state. Opinion polls have given the frontrunner, Claudia Sheinbaum, and her main rival, Xóchitl Gálvez, such a large lead over their male rivals, that a female president looks like a foregone conclusion. But whoever wins this coming Sunday will have to deal with the sensitive relationship with the United States, which is not only Mexico’s northern neighbour but also its top commercial partner. How to handle the Mexican drug cartels – largely blamed by US authorities for the deadly epidemic of fentanyl overdoses and deaths in the US – is not the only daunting issue for the Mexican presidential candidates. The winner will also have to deal with the record flows through Mexico of US-bound foreign migrants that are a burning topic in the US’ own 2024 electoral race. The scenario is complicated by the possibility of the return to the US presidency of Donald Trump, whose strident positions on migrants and drugs have raised eyebrows south of the border. Mr Trump has vowed to carry out the "largest deportation operation" in US history to remove undocumented migrants already in the country if he returns to the White House. Some Mexican media commentators are calling a possible second Trump presidency "the elephant in the room" for Mexico's presidential hopefuls. Both Ms Sheinbaum and Ms Gálvez have emphasised the importance of Mexico's relationship with the US, and they have both pledged to broadly pursue good bilateral cooperation. Ms Sheinbaum, who is running for the governing Morena party, has vowed to continue with "pride" the foreign policy of her mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Relations between the US and Mexico during the six years Mr López Obrador has been in power have not been without tension, with disagreements flaring over US counter-narcotics operations inside Mexico, as well as over measures taken by the US on its border to try to control migrants. Opposition contender Xóchitl Gálvez has called the outgoing government's foreign policy a "disaster". But like Ms Sheinbaum, she has also taken a strongly pro-migrant stance, particularly with respect to Mexican migrants in the US. Aware that nationalist pride plays strongly in Mexico, both candidates made a point in a recent presidential debate of stressing that their governments would not let themselves be cowed or bullied by the US, especially over migration. Ms Sheinbaum declared that there would be "no more submission in foreign policy", saying that centre-right predecessors of Mr López Obrador had allowed themselves to be "humiliated" by the US. "Coordination yes, subordination no," she said, summarising her vision of relations with the US back in March. “We will always tell them [the US] it’s better to build bridges rather than walls," she added a few weeks later. Opposition contender Xóchitl Gálvez has also pledged a “frank, direct and clear” relationship with the US, which she has recognised as "our most important market". In one of the presidential debates she reproached the current government for having "caved in" to then President Donald Trump by agreeing to keep US-bound migrants in Mexico after the right-wing US leader threatened to slap tariff penalties on Mexican goods. She has also said that, as president, she would not "bow down without putting up a fight". However, she added that "authoritarian governments like Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, [and] Nicaragua won't be coming to parade here", indicating that her government would be less friendly to such overtly anti-US leaders than the current Mexican government and its candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum. The two rivals have also sparred over immigration and security policies, key areas in which Mexico has periodically faced US complaints of not providing enough cooperation. Ms Sheinbaum has repeated President López Obrador's calls for the US to invest more in Mexico and Central America to help reduce the pressure for northwards migration. The "United States can do more," she has argued. Ms Gálvez too has listed "protection of migrants" among her priorities, including a call for the "regularisation [of the status] of our compatriots who live in the United States". In their public statements at least, both of the leading Mexican presidential contenders have promised cooperation with the US against drug-trafficking. While critics in Mexico and the US have accused President López Obrador of putting curbs on counter-narcotics cooperation, especially on the activities in Mexico of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Ms Gálvez has said she would not limit exchange of information with the US. Across the border in the US, Republican Party candidate Donald Trump has made it clear that he would double down on plans to secure the US border with barriers and troops, even reportedly suggesting he might send "kill teams" into Mexico to eliminate cartel leaders. When asked about a possible Trump victory, both Ms Sheinbaum and Ms Gálvez said they could handle and maintain good ties. “President López Obrador in the end had a good relationship with Trump and I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to have it as well,” Ms Sheinbaum said recently. Ms Gálvez has also said she was “not afraid of Trump nor of Biden”, and would work with either.

Cristiano Ronaldo left the field in tears after his Al-Nassr team lost the King’s Cup final to Al-Hilal and ended a second successive season in Saudi Arabia without any major silverware on Friday. Al-Hilal won a penalty shootout 5-4 to decide a final that finished 1-1 after extra time in Jeddah. Ronaldo, who signed for Al-Nassr in December 2022, fell to the ground in despair and was consoled by teammates at King Abdullah Sports City. The loss came just four days after the end of a Saudi Pro League season in which Al-Nassr finished second, 14 points behind Al-Hilal. There was some consolation then as Ronaldo scored twice to set a new league record of 35 goals in a season. There was no such comfort this time at the end of a tempestuous encounter that saw two goals and three red cards. Aleksandar Mitrovic headed Al-Hilal ahead after seven minutes. It got worse for Al-Nassr early in the second half when goalkeeper David Ospina, formerly of Arsenal and Napoli, was sent off for handling the ball outside the area. Al-Hilal was also reduced to 10 men after 86 minutes when Ali Al-Bulaihi was red-carded for an apparent headbutt on Sami Al-Najei. Seconds later, Ayman Yahya headed Al-Nassr level. Al-Hilal had another defender sent off in the 91st minute after Kalidou Koulibaly, signed from Chelsea last summer, received a second yellow card. There were no goals in extra time and the final went to a shootout. Ruben Neves missed Hilal’s first attempt as did former Manchester United defender Alex Telles for Al-Nassr. Ronaldo, who earlier hit the post with a spectacular overhead kick, converted his penalty but could only watch as Bounou, a hero of Morocco’s march to the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup, saved twice, the first from Ali Al-Hassan and then from Al-Nemer. The saves gave Hilal an 11th King’s Cup triumph while Ronaldo and his team will have to wait until next season.

|
With summer just around the corner, San Clemente residents are grateful that the beach restoration project continues to move along and soft, white sand has finally returned to their beloved shores. The project, which started in late 2023, aims to replace sand and widen the beach by up to 50 feet from an area that had previously eroded near the pier, down to just about 10 feet in some places. The completion of the project's first phase, which was celebrated by city leaders and beachgoers alike on Friday, comes after hitting a snag earlier in 2024, when were brought to the beach from Oceanside, which caused some outrage amongst residents. "I'm not coming to lay on the rocks," said Hannah Brown at the time. "My toddlers, my kids aren't coming to play in the rocks." Now though, people are rejoicing with the returns of the beach that they grew to love over the years. "I'm really grateful that we have the sand," said Amanda Quintanilla, a San Clemente resident. "There's shells in the sand, which reminds me of when I used to walk here as a little child. It's just fantastic." Congressman Mike Levin, who helped spearhead the project by securing federal funds to expand the beach's shoreline, was on hand at Friday's ceremony. He says that apart from the ample amounts of beach now available for visitors, the sand also helps secure the rail corridor heading through the area, which has been a constant spot of frustration in recent months because of the eroding land. "We have one of the busiest rail corridors anywhere in the United States that connects San Diego to LA, it's so critically important," Levin said. "Eight million passengers a year, but also a billion dollars in economic activity for our region and so, keeping it up and running in critically important." After the earlier issues came to light, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, who oversee the work, moved the dredging site north of Oceanside to Surfside in order to get finer sand. "The new borrow site is great," said Colonel Andrew Baker with USACE. "It produced all this wonderful sand you see in front of you here today, but it is a little bit far away, so hopefully by the time we roll around to the next 5-6 year replenishment cycle we'll have located something a little bit more convenient." The project will finally be completed in October, when 100,000 more cubic yards of sand are dumped on the stretch of beach.

A "heartsick and devastated" Jennifer Lopez canceled her upcoming summer tour to spend more time with her "children, family and close friends," Live Nation announced Friday. Lopez released a statement to her fans on her OntheJLo apologizing for deciding to pull the plug on her tour weeks before it was set to kick off. "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down," she wrote. "Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary." She continued: "I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…" The 54-year-old was set to embark on a 30+ city tour on June 26 in Orlando, Florida, to promote her new album "This is Me…Now," which dropped in February.

The co-worker who was with "General Hospital" actor Johnny Wactor the night he was killed said he died in her arms after one of the people trying to steal a catalytic converter from his car fatally shot him in downtown Los Angeles. Wactor, who played Brando Corbin on the daytime soap opera, was going home from a bartending shift when he and his co-worker saw a group of people surrounding his car around 3:30 a.m. near Hope Street and Pico Boulevard. She wrote on Instagram that, at first, they thought his car was being towed. Just moments later, someone from the group opened fire. "Everything happened in an instant," his co-worker, Anita Joy, wrote in a post Wednesday. The suspects in Wactor's killing remain at large and the Los Angeles Police Department finding them. They had Wactor's car propped up with a floor jack when he and his co-worker saw them, according to LAPD. Investigators have determined a catalytic converter from the vehicle. In an Instagram post, Joy wrote that she and Wactor "cautiously" approached the group before questioning them. "We were no threat and Johnny kept his cool as he always did, simply stating that it was his car and for them to leave, hands open to his sides in peace," Joy wrote. "Johnny was between me and the man who shot him -- as I heard the shot ring into the night, he forcefully tumbled back into my arms and as I grabbed for him, I shouted `hunny you ok?!' And he only responded `Nope! Shot!'," "We toppled onto the street where I pushed my legs under him and tried to hold his body up while screaming for help and screaming at him to stay with me," she wrote. Joy wrote that one of the security guards from the bar where they worked was crossing the street afterward and saw them. He ran over while calling 911 and they tied a denim jacket around Wactor's body to stop the bleeding. The security guard also tried performing CPR on Wactor, she wrote. "It was too close range, too extreme of a wound for him to survive it but my god, he fought to stay." He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Joy called for justice in her friend's killing, saying she's "heartbroken" and "angry" over his loss. "He was killed senselessly by a coward who reacted without care of the gorgeous life he was taking," she wrote. According to LAPD, the three suspects were all wearing dark-colored clothing and driving a dark-colored sedan as they fled northbound on Hope Street. A statement issued Sunday by Wactor's talent agency, BRS/Gage, "committed to his craft" as well as "a real moral example to everyone who knew him." "Standing for hard work, tenacity and a never give up attitude," the statement read. "In the highs and lows of a challenging profession he always kept his chin up and kept striving for the best he could be." Joy wrote Wactor had a rare ability "to make anyone and everyone feel so special in his eyes," and reflected lovingly on their friendship and time working together. She added that he had a "magnetic" energy, saying he "treated everyone with love, respect, compassion and he really `saw' you." "My friend of 8 years went from laughing together, working side by side, leaving our bartending shift and walking to our cars, to him dying in my arms in the streets of DTLA in the dark hours of 3 am," Joy wrote. "He was beautiful, goofy as hell, full of work ethic and values, he never put people down, even when joking, he never made you feel unsure of yourself -- he knew how to be hilarious in such a positive way and it just made him that much more lovable." Wactor also appeared on shows including "Westworld, "NCIS" and "Criminal Minds." Anyone with information is urged to call LAPD's Central Station at 213-486-6606. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call LA Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.

Friday's weather was a preview of what's to come when looking ahead to next week. Sacramento Valley highs climbed back into the upper 90s for a very warm finish to May, but we're expecting an even warmer start to June. Before next week, temperatures will cool off slightly this weekend. Enjoy it while it lasts as our pattern will change fast with heat rebuilding by Tuesday. The pattern A ridge of high pressure built in Friday giving a hot finish to the week across Northern California. High pressure backs off this weekend, allowing cooler air to move inland from the coast. Delta breezes return Saturday and Sunday evenings and will help to keep temperatures a bit milder during the afternoons. This cooldown will be short-lived. As we get closer to Tuesday another ridge of high pressure rebuilds, bringing us our hottest temperatures of the year, so far. This ridge will build over the Southwestern U.S. and hover over California, staying in place for several days and keeping the heat around. First heat wave of the year? It may be. As the forecast becomes clearer, high pressure strengthens Tuesday and temperatures will soar to the upper 90s and triple digits. What we'll be watching the next few days is how long the heat stays around. We have the potential for multiple days of 100-degree highs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday across the valley. This is about 10 to 20 degrees above normal for early June. An Excessive Heat Watch is already in place for most of the valley from Tuesday to Thursday as these days will bring moderate to major heat risk across the valley and lower foothills. The bulk of the heat will be felt in the northern valley where Colusa to Chico could reach 105-106 degrees on Wednesday. It'll be a big change from a warm, yet mild weekend. Next week will bring our first 100-degree day of the year in California's capital city. This is right on par as Downtown Sacramento typically hits 100 degrees around June 5. Last year, the heat came at the end of June. The peak of next week's heat should occur on Wednesday and Thursday before the ridge of high pressure breaks down on Friday. Make sure to stay with us for the next few days as there are still some uncertainties with timing being a little less than a week out. Preparing for the heat Now is the time to get you and your family ready for our first big heat-up of the year. With widespread triple-digit heat, there is the potential for heat-related illnesses. Know the signs and keep yourself and your loved ones cool and hydrated. Test your air conditioner now to make sure it is working properly. Also, wear sunscreen and stay hydrated if spending time outside. Fire danger will be high this weekend as grasses continue to dry out. Be careful to limit the start and spread of fires. The slightly cooler weekend Before the heat arrives, this weekend will be great to get outside. Many of us will reach the upper 80s across the valley with plenty of sunshine overhead. It will be dry and sunny, perfect for any outdoor plans. If you are traveling up to the foothills and Sierra this weekend, it will be beautiful. Warm in the afternoon with highs in the 70s and 80s. A few passing clouds will be possible but expect lots of sunshine throughout the day. Delta breezes will help keep neighborhoods surrounding the Delta mild this weekend. Expect warm afternoons and breezy evenings. Plenty of sun through the weekend with a few passing clouds. Highs reach the 70s and 80s on Saturday and Sunday. Stay with the CBS Sacramento First Alert Weather team through the weekend as we keep you updated on what's to come next week.

SACRAMENTO — Insurance is to blame for the confusion surrounding Sacramento State's cheer and dance teams. The cheerleaders were told they would no longer be considered athletes but rather a club or student-run team. "I was really shocked and disappointed to see that's what they decided to do with the program," said Sac State cheer alumni Tieya Hairston. This recent Sac State grad is sharing her frustrations over where the cheerleading program was headed. "(Athletic Director) Mark Orr came to one of our practices and informed us they would be moving us to a club," she said. The current members of the team didn't want to speak out for fear of retaliation. The team, formed only earlier this week after tryouts ended Sunday, was told they wouldn't be considered athletes and would become a club team due to insurance issues, which wouldn't allow them to sideline cheer like usual. "Just because they realized after two decades that whenever we were going to competition in Florida, we did not have insurance to go, which seemed really interesting to know you didn't know this about your students, your athletes all this time," Hairston said. Outrage from parents had the athletic department take a second look. "They don't understand the traditions. They don't understand the deep-rooted history of cheer on this campus," said parent Denise Miller. This concerned parent said they already pay out of pocket for competitions, uniforms, you name it, and to take away their title as an athlete was extremely disheartening. "One of the things that had brought athletes and students to this school was the gameday experience," Miller said. "If they knew that this was going to happen, they might not have gone with Sac State to cheer," Hairston said. In a statement to CBS13. Sac State said: "Members of the cheer and dance teams will still have the ability to perform at athletic events for the upcoming year and the competitive programs will have the opportunity to showcase their skills on a national level." "They work hard together. They trust each other with their life, literally, when they're throwing each other up 10-15 feet in the air and then get caught," Miller said. "To have this is so disheartening for all of them. They are hopeful the school is going to make the right decision but fearful they're not." At an afternoon meeting on Friday, the teams and the athletic department were able to come to a resolution. the cheer team will be insured through the university and will be allowed to both sideline cheer and compete. So you can expect to see the cheerleaders on the sidelines and hyping up crowds.

A video of the president making his way to the chopper went viral after it showed around 10 people joining him as part of his the entourage, including White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre. The aides think that having themselves walk between Biden and journalists' cameras will draw less attention to Biden's halting and stiff walk, Axios reported in April. The president was headed to Philadelphia for a campaign event to launch 'Black Voters for Biden-Harris,' as recent polling showed the Democratic ticket sagging with that group compared to four years ago. It was just days after Biden was seen slowly shuffling out of a clothing store in his native Delaware. The posse of aides surrounding Joe Biden appears to be growing, a month after it was reported they are now joining him on the march from the White House to the presidential helicopter. At 81 and as the oldest president in American history, Biden was seen slowly shuffling out of a Jos. A. Bank in Greenville holding a bag and accompanied by multiple Secret Service agents on Memorial Day Weekend. The president flipped on his famous aviator sunglasses before getting back into his vehicle. Greenville is a short drive away from Wilmington, where the Biden family compound is located. Biden is notorious for preferring his weekends in his home state to Washington or Camp David during his presidency. Voters have expressed concern about Biden's age as he seeks a second term. An NBC poll in April found that the idea that Biden 'may not have the necessary mental and physical health to be president for a second term' was a top concern for voters. It was Biden who suggested aides walk with him as the president seeks to counter the concerns. 'Weeks ago, the President mentioned to aides that he'd prefer a less formal approach and said they should just walk with him,' a White House aide told DailyMail.com Since mid-April, he's had deputy chiefs of staff Annie Tomasini and Bruce Reed, top adviser Mike Donilon and press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at his side as heads to Marine One. A video of the president making his way to the chopper went viral after it appeared around ten people were in the entourage, including White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre Joe Biden was spotted leaving after going clothes shopping in his home of Delaware, as the president was seen in his usual weekend haunts for the Memorial Day holiday In March, Biden's five walks to and from Marine One at the White House were by himself, or with family members. Starting April 16, Biden was joined by staff or lawmakers nine out of 10 times he walked to and from Marine One, per Axios' count. The White House has tried to turn questions about Biden's age into an argument that he is the most experienced person to hold the office. But as voters continue to fret in a way about Biden that they don't about Trump, who is 77, there's been a subtle shift in strategy. If Biden wins a second term, he would be 86 at its completion. Biden is now making jokes repeatedly about his age. At an event in New York on Thursday, when talking about the size of microchips being made at the factory he was visiting, Biden quipped: 'It's 4,000 times thinner than a single hair on your head and I got some very thin hair on my head.' He also likes to tell crowds that he knows 'he looks 40.' President Joe Biden walked solo toward Marine One in March President Joe Biden walks on the South Lawn after landing on Marine One with senior members of his staff including Bruce Reed and Karine Jean-Pierre The president has also taken to wearing sneakers or hiking boots. He's been spotted lately sporting the Hoka 'Transport' sneakers, which typically retail for $150. He's also been using the shorter stair case on Air Force One, which has fewer steps, and doing balancing exercises. The president, 81, has taken several stumbles in his nearly three years in office - falling while boarding Air Force One, tripping on various staircases, and taking a dramatic tumble at the Air Force Academy when he encountered a sandbag. That smaller staircase - which goes into the belly of the 747 - is about half the size of the stair case that is used to access the upper part of the plane: 14 stairs versus 26. Biden's doctor has admitted the president has a stiff gait. In both reports on Biden's physicals, the president's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, noted the president has suffered from a 'stiffened ambulatory gait.' Biden fractured his foot during the 2020 presidential campaign and had to wear a boot. Otherwise, Biden has been declared fit to hold office. President Joe Biden arrives at the White House in his sneakers President Biden also uses the shorter stair case on Air Force One O'Connor recommended physical therapy - specifically 'proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers' - and shoe orthotics to help with his walking. Proprioception training focuses on the sense of body positioning in space and can involve balancing exercises, tai chi, and yoga. Biden, who works out most mornings at the White House gym, has been doing balancing exercises with Drew Contreras, who was a physical therapist in the Army and worked with Barack Obama when he was in the White House.
