GARY — The shootings of two young men early Sunday in the 1400 block of Jackson Street have been ruled homicides by the Lake County Coroner's Office.
Gary police said they were called out shortly before 6:30 a.m. to the site in question and found one of the men shot dead in a vehicle and the other man in a grassy area of Froebel Park.
"Sexual activity was engaged in and during the course of the contact Derek (Hartz) was struck with the brick and stabbed multiple times with the knife," police said.
The men were identified by the coroner's office as Jaquamold White and Ja’Markis Hackett, both of Gary. Hackett reportedly lived in the area of the shooting.
The determination of the fatal injuries is pending autopsies scheduled for Monday.
The shootings are being investigated by the Lake County Prosecutor's Homicide Task Force.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call 219-755-3855.

Boat that caught on fire at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to be removed
A boat that caught on fire near Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Munising over the weekend, forcing the U.S. Coast Guard to rescue five people aboard, will be removed Monday.
According to a tweet from the Coast Guard's Great Lakes' district on Sunday, Sector Sault pollution responders determined that all diesel fuel had burned off in the fire and no pollution threat exists.
The burning boat was spotted during a routine patrol around 7 p.m. Saturday. A crew from the Coast Guard's Marquette station saw smoke rising from a nearly 30-foot vessel and responded, the station said on Facebook.
The crew wasn't able to extinguish the fire and the vessel became engulfed in flames, but everyone aboard was rescued with no injuries, said U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Christopher Yaw.
"As the flames grew, our crew transferred over all passengers on board the distressed vessel to our 29’ RBS-II. All 5 passengers were safely transported back to the local marina with no injuries," the station posted.
It's unclear what caused the boat to go up in flames, according to the Coast Guard.
"The people on board did report smelling diesel (fuel) just before seeing any flames," Yaw said. "National Park's service vessel did remain on scene until dusk. They weren't able to secure the vessel to anything because it was against the rocks. …
"It looks like they were just out enjoying a trip and something went wrong to cause a fire on the vessel," Yaw said.
The U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes tweeted that the vessel contained up to 250 gallons of diesel.

(CNN) — One lucky winner could nab a massive $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot that’s up for grabs in Tuesday night’s drawing.
If won, the mammoth jackpot would equal the fourth-largest prize in Mega Millions’ history, the lottery said in a news release Saturday.
A grand prize winner could choose to spread it in annual payments over 29 years, or take a lump-sum option of an estimated $527.9 million,Mega Millions said.
The jackpot soared past a billion dollars after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Friday night. Tuesday’s drawing will be the 30th since the jackpot was last won in New York on April 18, according to Mega Millions.
Although no one scored the jackpot Friday, there were still big winners. One ticket sold in Pennsylvania won $5 million by matching the first five numbers and activating the optional Megaplier, which is available in most states with an extra $1 purchase.
Another four tickets sold in Arizona, California, New York and Pennsylvania matched the first five numbers to win $1 million.
The top Mega Millions jackpot to date was $1.537 billion won in South Carolina in 2018. It’s followed by a $1.348 billion ticket that was sold in Maine in January and a $1.337 billion prize last July.
In fourth place on Mega Millions’ list is a $1.05 billion prize won by a ticket sold in Michigan in 2021.
Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing for the massive prize comes after a Powerball ticket sold at a convenience store in Los Angeles matched all numbers to win a $1.08 billion prize – the third-largest Powerball jackpot.

Milwaukee River Greenway Trail: Feel like stepping out of the city but don't want to go far? Try the Milwaukee River Greenway Trail. There are 28 miles of trails that hug the Milwaukee River and run from near North Avenue and through Lincoln Park. There are trails on both banks and you wont even realize you're still in a city.

History: Started in 2015, FEAR MKE was created by the fitness consulting group Social X to promote fitness and increase diversity and exposure to runners who may not be at the front of the pack. In addition to having various pace groups, it focuses on making running a social activity rather than just fitness.
"We've created a safe space for anyone that considers themselves a runner and really advocate for people of color to continue to get out, be active and feel safe while running," said group co-founder Tenia Fisher. "We also encourage those who don't identify as runners or don't have runners' bodies to feel safe to run and start on their journey."
Dues: Runs are free.
How many runs a week? There's a weekly Tuesday run at 6 p.m. that starts at Mobay Cafe (1022 S. 1st St.). It also hosts track workouts once a month at Riverside High School and long runs every Saturday from Atwater Park. You can find an up-to-date schedule on the group's Eventbrite page. Fisher said runs usually have 25 to 40 people but can have as many as 80.
Does the group host other events? Fisher said that, though unofficial, members of the group will often plan trips to run races together and plan runs outside of the scheduled ones.
How do you get involved? To get involved, Fisher recommends showing up to a run and trying it out.
Brew City Hash House Harriers
History: We won’t go fully into the history of this group since it dates back to the 1800s. We will tell you that the group’s Malaysian history is based on a game of chasing a hare. Today, there are Hash House Harrier groups all over the world, and the Brew City one lives out the group’s motto of “a drinking club with a running problem.”
“It’s a social club, not a competitive running club,” said group general manager, or grand tyrant, Zachary Frankowski. “We want to have fun on a scavenger hunt for beer.”
Dues: No annual dues. However, weekly runs are about $10 each to cover the cost of beer. Other events vary, like its half marathon to 13 bars for 13 miles.
How many runs a week? H3 typically has one run a week and it moves around the area. As Frankowski put it, runs, or hashes, are "essentially a scavenger hunt for beer." Each week, "the hare" is tasked with creating a route marked with flour chalk symbols on the ground that lead the runners, "the hounds," to the finish. The start or finish can be anywhere from a bar or brewery to someone's backyard or a parked car. Frankowski said that new runners are not left behind, and everyone gets to the finish, no matter what pace.
Does the group host other events? Yes. In addition to weekly group runs, the group does have social activities outside of the runs and hosts events like a beer mile and group runs with other hashing groups, known as Inter Hashes, in Wisconsin (like Madison and Waukesha), the Midwest or even internationally. It also runs across a frozen Pewaukee Lake each February with a beer stop on the route and hosts a Summer Slam event in August.
How do you get involved? Show up to a run. Runs are posted each week on the group’s Facebook page.
Milwaukee run stores
Performance Running Outfitters: Locations in the Third Ward, Shorewood, Brookfield and Delafield. It also hosts weekly group runs: Mondays at Lakefront Brewery, Wednesdays at its Third Ward location and Saturdays at the Brookfield location.
Rodiez's Running Store: Operating since 1986, this run store has been a staple for decades in West Allis. Owner Tony Rodiez was inducted into the Wisconsin Cross Country Hall of Fame in 2008.
Stan's Fit for Your Feet: It has been operating as an every-shoe store since 1950. The Sajdak family owns multiple locations and brands in the area like Goodmiles Running Company (locations in Brookfield and Greenfield) and The Vionic Store in Brookfield.
Andare Sports: Located in Fox Point. A store with a background in running that also services many athletic abilities and endeavors.
Notable races in the Milwaukee area
Lakefront Marathon: One of Milwaukee biggest races. The race traditionally stretches from Grafton to Milwaukee but is expected to feature a new route in 2023 that includes the Hoan Bridge. It's one of the few marathons in Milwaukee, though it, like others, has run into permitting issues with the city in recent years.
Brew City Marathon: The Brew City Marathon attracts many runners to the lakefront for routes that explore the Oak Leaf Trail and finish in Veterans Park. It features a marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K courses.
Storm the Bastille 5K: This is one of the most popular 5Ks in the area. It's hosted at night during the annual Bastille Days festival. You'll experience running or walking through the city at night with thousands of others. Plus, you finish at the best place to enjoy some beignets and other festival foods.
Six Days in the Dome: The Pettit National Ice Center is home to many runners in the colder months. The center has a running track around an Olympic speedskating long track, providing ideal running temperatures year round. This includes events like Six Days in the Dome, which has runners complete as many laps in 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, six-days. The Pettit is also home to the Pettit Indoor Marathon which is 26.2 miles worth of laps.
Are there any famous Wisconsin runners?
Absolutely! Molly Seidel, from Brookfield, won a bronze medal at the 2021 Olympic marathon, the third American woman ever to win a medal in the event. Speaking of Olympians, Gwen Jorgenson, originally from Waukesha, won the gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics in the triathlon, the first American to win the event.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Sedgwick County used Civic Ready Alerts last week in a deadly shooting and standoff in Wichita’s Riverside neighborhood. Nearly 2,000 people received the text, call, or email alerting them to the situation.
Cod Charvat, operations manager for Sedgwick County Emergency Management, said it was the first for a public safety alert. However, it has been used for prior weather alerts since it went live back in May.

The second winner was Rosa Guia of Lancaster, she won on July 29.
"I'm not sure what I am going to do with the money, but I have four children and 12 grandchildren. I think I will take them somewhere," she said.

The latest news from around North Texas.
The 23-year veteran of an embroidery graphics company said she's been visiting Choctaw Durant for more than 10 years and it's not her first win, but it is the biggest.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Kingsville ISD will be starting their school year tomorrow, July 31, but their school year will be looking a little different from other districts around the Coastal Bend.
"We're excited about it. I think parents are excited, students are excited. It's only going to be as effective as the work that we put into it and how we make that Friday work for us and the students. You know, it's going to be a good experience for all of us," Kingsville ISD Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Juan Sandoval said.
Dr. Sandoval spoke with 3NEWS and said with this year's four-day school week going into effect, some changes will need to be made to accommodate half day Fridays that the district is calling innovation station days.
"Teachers are going to have the autonomy to make and use that time to support and serve our kids. Our core area teachers will be providing some kind of interventions that need that extra help, but they'll also be able to do that fun stuff as part of the calendar," he said.
Support from community organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Kingsville will help in giving some students somewhere to go when they have their Fridays off.
Director of Operations, Jill Seals explained that with the district's new school week, enrollment numbers are up from last year.
"We're excited about the change. We're excited to be able to help the community. Initially we knew that we need to start doing some planning, get some staffing in place, and work on a few of the logistics," she said. "We're excited and ready to see what it brings."
Seals said that while the district does usually bus kids to the club during the regular school week, on the Fridays that the district is completely closed, parents or guardians will have to bring their students to the club.
The club currently has around 20 staff members to guide and mentor the kids that come through their doors, but that number could change.
"We're kind of planning for the first two weeks and we'll kind of reevaluate and see if we need to bring on some more staff or see how we can restructure. We will just have to jump in and see," Seals said.
While this change is one that parents, students, and teachers will have to get used to, Sandoval is hoping that these innovation station days put the fun back in learning for the district's students.

MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Editor's note: The shark used as the main image for this article was not the one involved in the incident.
A man is recovering at a hospital after he was attacked by a shark in Manatee County, officials say.
The man, who is described as being in his early 20s, was bitten in the lower leg by the shark near Bean Point on the north end of Anna Maria Island, a spokesperson for the West Manatee Fire Rescue told 10 Tampa Bay on Sunday evening.
After he was attacked, someone who was with the man applied a tourniquet to his injury, fire rescue says.
The man was then reportedly brought into Kingfish Boat ramp where he was transported by Manatee County emergency medical services to a hospital.
"His condition is unknown at this time and we are uncertain as to the type of shark or circumstances leading up to the bite," the spokesperson for WMFR said in a statement.
The investigation of the shark bite remains ongoing, officials say.
Shark encounters have been making headlines lately in Florida, so what should you do if ever spot a shark while out in the water?
Although shark bites are uncommon, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says there are some ways to reduce the risk of being bitten or attacked, such as always staying in groups since sharks are more likely to bite a solitary individual and not wandering too far from the shore.
Get the full list of tips here.
In 2022, there were a total of 57 confirmed unproved cases worldwide, according to the Florida Museum. The website says that the U.S. leads the world in the number of unproved bites in the world with Florida being the state with the most bites.
10 Tampa Bay's BriShon Mitchell contributed to this report.

WHITE SETTLEMENT, Texas — Two White Settlement police officers are being called heroes after they rescued a man from a burning car in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 29.
Police said officers responded around 2:40 a.m. in the 1700 block of South Cherry Lane to a crash where a car struck a pole. The crash caused the car to catch fire, police said.
According to police, arriving officers learned there were two occupants in the vehicle at the time of the crash and that the driver was able to escape. The front passenger, however, was unconscious inside the car, police said.
Police said officers were able to pull the man out of the burning vehicle as medical crews arrived.
Watch video from the incident below:
"I want to highlight the heroic actions by the brave police officers who serve our community," said White Settlement Police Chief Christopher Cook. "As you can see from the video, had it not been for the quick and decisive actions by police, this crash could have had a very different outcome."
Both the driver and passenger were transported to a hospital for treatment and are expected to survive, police said.
Investigators are looking into the cause of the crash and have not ruled out that speeding may have been a factor, according to police.

NORMAL — Freshly-sharpened pencils, new crayons with every color intact, uncracked rulers and bright highlighters not yet dulled from use — the sure signs of a new school year quickly approaching, and volunteers are hard at work preparing for one of the biggest school supply giveaways in Bloomington-Normal.
Community members have spent recent weeks collecting school supplies, hosting supply drives and filling backpacks at the Midwest Food Bank ahead of the 2023 Back 2 School Alliance school supply giveaway.
“Our community is so wonderful and so sharing. We put out that need and people just come from far and wide and support us, so we feel very fortunate,” said Jan Meadows, chairwoman of the Back 2 School Alliance.
The organization will give away about 4,000 backpacks filled with new school supplies from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 8, at the north parking garage of State Farm Corporate South, 3 State Farm Plaza in Bloomington.
Meadows said the Back 2 School Alliance is about partnering with parents and families to ensure their students are ready for the first day of school.
Eligible students entering grades pre-kindergarten to eighth grade at Bloomington District 87 and McLean County Unit 5 must be registered with all immunizations and physicals completed and qualify for free or reduced lunch to receive an invitation from their district. Families interested in receiving supplies should contact their school office.
“This is not a handout but a hand up. We work as partners with our parents,” Meadows said. “They do what they need to do to get the kids ready as far as records and requirements, and we’ll help you with school supplies.”
Meadows said when the roughly 2,000 vehicles that she’s expecting roll through the giveaway, the alliance's promise is to have more than enough backpacks available so they never run out and families never have to worry about getting in line too late.
During a shift of packing backpacks this week at the Midwest Food Bank warehouse in Normal, Kathy Rasch said she’s seen firsthand how these donations make a big difference for students.
“When the kids come in the first day of school, everyone is so excited about their school supplies. They can’t wait, and that is part of our getting started for the school year — labeling everything and getting everything organized in their desks,” said Rasch, who teaches third grade at Prairieland Elementary School.
When students don’t have the supplies they need but their classmates do, it can make for a difficult first day, she said.
“It’s very important,” Rasch said. “They’re excited and you don’t want to quell that excitement, and if they don’t have the proper supplies, that can do that.”
Laura Beal, who has taught at Parkside Elementary for 14 years, agreed, saying the donations help to “even the playing field” for students.
Now heading into her first year teaching at LeRoy Elementary, Beal said it was “nice to be on this side” of the supply giveaway, volunteering alongside her mother, Jenny Pettinger of Normal, and her son, Jack.
Nearing the end of his summer break, Jack said he was excited to start first grade at Colene Hoose Elementary and happy to be able to help out other students.
Pettinger, volunteering for the first time with the Back 2 School Alliance, noted the process was a true community effort, from the local organizations donating supplies to the volunteers filling the backpacks one supply at a time.
Another volunteer, Sarah Boesdorfer of Bloomington, said she was glad to be able to help the alliance get the supplies to the students who need them most, “and just provide that help wherever I can.
“I just appreciate trying to make kids feel as much a part of the school as they can from day one, so they have what they need and don’t feel like they have to ask for it,” she said.
This is the third year of the alliance hosting the giveaway as a drive-thru rather than the party that previously was held at Grossinger Motors Arena, a change that was made because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We really made it a party the best we could, but our families stood out in line outside the building for hours and we didn’t like that,” Meadows said. “The drive-thru line provides our families privacy that we were unable to do at the (arena). While we gave up some of the joy of the party, we exchanged that for privacy, which is important, too.”
A crew of Disney princesses plan to make an appearance at the giveaway, as well as mascots from several area businesses, to try to bring more of a “party-type atmosphere,” Meadows said. Like they used to at the arena, social agencies will set up tables along the line this year with representatives offering pencils, suckers and information on their resources.
But even without the traditional party, Meadows said the joy is still there.
When the kids are handed their new backpacks — “those faces,” she said, smiling. “They’re excited; they can’t wait to rip them open and see.”
Depending on their grade level, inside they’ll find notebooks, folders, glue sticks, crayons, rulers, colored pencils, notecards, markers, sticky notes and pencils, as well as a toothbrush and toothpaste and a water bottle donated by Rivian Automotive.
Incoming freshmen at Illinois State University have also spent the summer helping to fill backpacks, leaving little extras like Redbird stickers and handwritten notes for the students.
The Back 2 School Alliance will also provide supplies directly to Bloomington, Normal Community and Normal West high schools, so students in need can contact their school counselors to get some supplies.
To contribute to the giveaway, community members can drop off new school supplies at Hy-Vee, 1403 N. Veterans Parkway in Bloomington.

For the first time, the Salvation Army in Kenosha, 3116 75th St., will host National Night Out activities.
The free event is 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 1.
National Night Out events take place annually on the first Tuesday of August across thousands of communities in all 50 states.
The campaign was created with the purpose of hosting community-building events promoting police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie in order to make neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.
At the Salvation Army, visitors will find “food and giveaways, like bikes and Apple Air Pods,” said David Hamilton, the local Auxiliary Captain.
Other local National Night Out sites — all coordinated by Kenosha County — include:
The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha, 1330 52nd St.
People are also reading…
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 8760 37th Ave.
The Shalom Center, 4314 39th Ave.
Lakeside Lutheran Church, 3833 Eighth Ave.
All events are 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at each site and will feature free food, games, activities, prizes and entertainment.
Visitors will also find community resource tables with information from agencies including the Kenosha Unified School District, the Racine-Kenosha Community Action Agency, Kenosha County Public Health, UMOS Energy Assistance and Kenosha Area Family and Aging Services.
Kenosha County Gang Intervention Supervisor Donna Rhodes said Kroger’s grocery home delivery service will be at the Boys & Girls Club and Shalom Center sites, providing information about the delivery service in areas that are considered “food deserts” due to a lack of nearby grocery stores.
A limited number of backpacks with school supplies will also be available at the Boys & Girls Club and Shalom Center, Rhodes added.
Kenosha hosted its first National Night Out event in 2009 at McKinley Elementary School.
“There was a house near McKinley Elementary School that neighbors and community members were very concerned about,” she said. “It ended up being Kenosha County’s first official nuisance property. We decided to host a National Night Out event at McKinley Elementary School that year to show the community that we cared about them, and wanted them to have a safe neighborhood.”
Since the first event in 2009, Kenosha’s National Night Out event has continued to grow and expand.
Note: All children must be accompanied by an adult to participate in National Night Out events, Rhodes said.
“We’re looking forward to connecting with many families during a great night of community building,” she said.
The bikes to be raffled off were donated by County Executive Samantha Kerkman; Judges Angelina Gabriele, Bruce Schroeder, Jason Rossell and Gerad Dougvillo; Sheriff David Zoerner; Kenosha Police Chief Patrick Patton; Clerk of Courts Rebecca Matoska-Mentink; the Kenosha Professional Police Association; the Kenosha Safety Fund (Officer Friendly); and Walmart. Helmets were donated by the Kenosha Police Supervisory Officers Association and Total Cyclery. Other donors include Amazon, Kroger, Sam’s Club, Rust-Oleum and Aurora Health Care.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Oil prices have risen 15% in the past five weeks, and that’s translating to higher prices at gas stations around Florida.
According to AAA, Florida gas prices have risen nearly 30 cents per gallon in the past two weeks. Friday’s average was $3.67 a gallon — still lower than the highest price so far this year at $3.72 a gallon, but still translating to pain at the pump.
AAA said on Friday oil settled at $80.58 per barrel, driven by strong economic data leading to higher fuel demand expectations.
The travel group also said the summer heat along the Gulf Coast has led to some refinery outages, which is leading to reductions in fuel output.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, refinery operations last week were at 93.3%, which is lower than the 97% rate that refineries were operating at last year.
Here’s a look at average gas prices around Central Florida, according to AAA.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando dates back to 1838, according to the city. It got its start during the height of the Seminole Wars.
The city says its history is not as clear on where the name Orlando came from.
The Town of Orlando was incorporated in 1875 with a total population of 85 people, a far cry from today’s almost 310,000 people.
According to the city, “Orlando has evolved from the hub of Florida’s citrus industry in the 19th century to a mecca for tourism in the 20th century.”

BEVERLY SHORES – It's been a Barbie world, with writer/director Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie hitting a yearly high of $155 million on its opening weekend at the box office and projected to bring in $700 million globally by Sunday.
The hit cinematic adaptation of the doll generations of girls grew up playing with has spawned a slew of marketing tie-ins that's included beauty products, salon services, clothes, pink burgers, coffees, cocktails, frozen yogurt, cars, Airbnbs, rugs and even Progressive Insurance, which purposes to insure the Barbie Dreamhouse.
The Region has its own real-life Barbie Dreamhouse.
The Florida Tropical House in Beverly Shores is bright pink from roof to foundation. A pure example of Barbiecore long before there was a doll or associated design aesthetic, the flamingo pink beach house sits right on the coast overlooking Lake Michigan, a shock of pastel in the type of tony beach town where Malibu Barbie might cruise around in her convertible.
Given its pink hue and coastal location on Lake Front Drive against the oceanic backdrop of a glistening blue Great Lake, it's drawn comparisons to the Barbie Dreamhouse over the years, including from Indiana Dunes Tourism, Porter County's tourism agency, and local artists.
"At The Depot Gallery and Museum, there is a lovely show of artist interpretations of Beverly Shores architecture, many of this iconic home. There’s even one fabulous embroidery of it called 'Barbie's Dream House!'" artist Nancy Natow-Cassidy said.
The flamboyant Florida Tropical House was designed in the Art Deco style by Miami architect Robert Law Weed, who was responsible for many similar houses in the palm tree-lined streets of Miami Beach. It was originally displayed at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair and has long been a local landmark – by land and by sea.
"I grew up in the Cypress Log Cabin across the street so I'm very familiar with it," said Beverly Shores resident Paul Zucker. "The paint color makes it stand out. It's the first thing everybody notices. I sail and it's a landmark for sailors we use to get home. You can see it anywhere in the lake. It stands out."
The Florida Tropical House greets visitors to Lakeview Beach, Kemil Beach and the sparkling Lake Michigan lakefront. It's part of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress Homes District that developer Robert Bartlett ferried from the World's Fair across Lake Michigan to the resort community he was building on the shores of Porter County as a getaway for well-heeled Chicagoans.
The curious can park in 15-minute spots and snap pictures of the retro-futuristic homes that were built to display cutting-edge building materials at the World's Fair. Interpretative signage explains the significance of the House of Tomorrow and the Florida Tropical, Rostone, Armco-Ferro and Cypress Log houses.
For more in-depth information, Indiana Landmarks and the National Park Service lead an annual tour through the homes.
"You can tour all five of the World's Fair Homes. It's really nice to get to go inside," said Carol Rusic, who helped save The Depot Museum and Gallery from the wrecking ball and has curated many exhibits in the historic but working South Shore Line commuter train station that doubles as an art gallery and local history museum.
The Florida Tropical House long predates the actual Barbie Dreamhouse, which Mattel debuted in 1962 three years after the Barbie doll first hit the market, giving young girls an idealized grown-up woman to play with.
It debuted three decades earlier at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, where it was seen by millions of paying visitors to the Home and Industrial Arts Group exhibition. At the time Florida was still a backwater swamp with only about 1.5 million residents – a far cry from the nearly 22 million people who live there today. It was a brick-and-mortar ad for tropical getaways and warmer climates long before millions of Americans flocked to Walt Disney World or migrated to the Sunbelt.
The Florida Tropical House featured many entertaining spaces like a living room, dining room and rooftop terrace to promote the Sunshine State's potential for recreation and relaxation. Florida Governor David Sholtz touted it as a "showroom of the state," inviting World's Fair-goers to "visit the playground of the nation."
"It was exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair to promote Florida tourism and bring people to the state of Florida," said Blake Swihart, director of the Northwest Field office of the Indiana Landmarks preservationist group. "Air conditioning was just coming into vogue so people could live in Florida. They were looking to capitalize off that to promote Florida."
The other 1933 Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress Homes were built to showcase homes built with metal, stone, cypress logs or new features like natural lighting, indoor appliances and a personal airplane garage that never quite took flight. The pastel stucco-clad Florida Tropical House was built with Floridian building materials like limestone, travertine, clay tile and Portland cement.
Inspired by the Florida lifestyle, the beach house at 210 Lake Front Drive had a roof modeled after the deck of an ocean liner with large outdoor terraces with sweeping lakefront views.
"Companies would go to extremes to promote the latest technology or latest craze," Swihart said. "The idea was maybe having a house would grab all kinds of attention."
Bartlett took the houses over by barge to his burgeoning community of Beverly Shores, today a beach town with four different Indiana Dunes National Park sites that has a median income a third higher than the rest of the state of Indiana, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
"The bright pink is not what we would think of in Indiana," Swihart said. "It fuses the outside and inside environment, which was new in 1933 and would become much more prominent when mid-century modern took off 20 years later. It had a flat roof that was forward-thinking for its time, that kind of broke from the traditional triangle roof and would become more common when the modern style came into vogue. It was built for entertainment, for the quote-on-quote Florida life. Its large windows were another distinctive feature."
Bartlett chose one of the most prominent spots for it along Lake Shore Drive on the coast.
"He stuck a bright pink house right there on the shore. It's a beacon that sticks out there," Swihart said. "It was a stereotypically idyllic place, so in that sense it's a dreamhouse. In the way that Barbie idealized women, it reflected optimism about life in the 1930s and beyond."
The Florida Tropical House was abandoned for several years but is occupied and kept up today. Indiana Landmarks and the National Parks Service teamed up in the 1990s to preserve the 1933 Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress Homes at a time when the original owners were beginning to age out. They set up a 30-year lease system in which an occupant can live there long term in exchange for restoring and maintaining them.
"It was the best time to save them. They had been used for 50 years but the owners were running out of steam," he said. "The then-Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and Indiana Landmarks came together to ensure the buildings would be preserved."
The program has been a success, he said.
"They're lived in and used and properly maintained and loved by the people who live there," he said. "People can drive by, see the houses and take pictures but should be respectful. They aren't museums. Residents actually live there."
As part of the program, the houses are opened up for a public tour once a year to the general public to access the interiors of the homes, including the Florida Tropical House. This year's tour is slated for Sep. 30 with tickets going on sale on Aug. 7.
"It's very popular," he said. "There's an obligation to open them up to the public. The Florida Tropical House is definitely a big draw."
Like the other 1933 Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress Homes, the Florida Tropical House wasn't meant to still be standing 90 years later. It wasn't even built with the poured concrete walls the architect's design called for, which was swapped with a wood frame to save money, Swihart said.
"All of the Century of Progress Homes were supposed to be torn down after the Chicago World's Fair was over," he said. "But they're still here and that's a pretty good feat of historical preservation."

Kids throughout Tucson are headed back to school, marking the end of summer break, but it's still sweltering outside.

ARENAC COUNTY, Mich. (WJRT) - A Grand Blanc man died Friday in a traffic crash in Arenac County.
The crash happened around 12:30 p.m. on M-65 near Townsend Road south of Twining.
Investigators say a semi-truck rear-ended the Grand Blanc man's car as he was driving north on M-65. The collision forced the car into the oncoming lane, where it hit a southbound pickup truck hauling a camper.
The 63-year-old man from Grand Blanc, who was in the northbound car, was pronounced dead of his injuries. Authorities did not name him by Monday morning.
Police did not say whether anyone in the semi-truck or the northbound pickup truck sustained any injuries. Investigators will continue looking into what caused the semi-truck driver to hit the Grand Blanc man's car.

GREENWOOD, Ark. — James Fork Regional Water District (JFRWD) has announced the implementation of Phase II water conservation for the City of Greenwood on Monday, July 31. JFRWD says this is due to "extreme high temperatures and excessive water usage."
Here's what that means:
Residents are prohibited from:
- Lawn watering
- Car washing
- Filling pools
- Filling fountains
- Fire hydrant testing
- Hosing down hard surface areas such as sidewalks, walkways, driveways, patios, parking lots, or any "hard surface areas."
JFRWD says gardens, plants, trees, and shrubs should only be watered with a "handheld hose."
Why?
Severe storms caused damage near the dam at Greenwood Lake on July 14.
The four inches of rain in less than two hours on July 14 caused the water to pour over the spillway, according to Mayor Doug Kinslow.
“The water was running very rapidly over the top of that, that much rain that quickly eroded its concrete apron that goes down to the stream to the creek,” said Kinslow.
This caused water transmission pipes to be submerged.
Due to the scarcity of water right now, Greenwood residents are asked to limit their water use in general.
“We're not telling you not to use water, we're just telling you to be careful with it and be conservative with it,” said Mayor Kinslow.
How long?
JFRWD says these restrictions will be in place "until further notice."

DUBOIS COUNTY, Indiana — Indiana Conservation officers are investigating a deadly off-road vehicle accident that happened Saturday in Dubois County.
First responders arrived to the area of County Road 900 East and learned a 15-year-old was operating a side-by-side ORV when they lost control and struck an embankment.
According to officers, the teen wasn't wearing safety gear prior to the crash.
Indiana Conservation Officers remind the public that ORV operators and passengers should always wear a helmet, protective riding gear and use all ORV safety restraints.
Dubois County is roughly 125 miles southwest of downtown Indianapolis.

The debate over how best to use 49 acres of land in the middle of Lincoln began more than 70 years ago, shortly after Margaret Rogers offered it to the city in memory of her husband — and Frank H. Woods donated $65,000 to the city to buy it.
The deed, signed in 1948, said the land bounded by 33rd, O and J streets was to be used for public purposes and almost immediately the lines of debate were drawn: Should it be a sprawling green space in the heart of the city or the site of a civic auditorium? Park or school district athletic stadium?
The green space won out in those early debates and the land became Woods Park, with a 1954 master plan showing a swimming pool, tennis courts and a baseball field, all added in the 1960s.
Two decades later, Mary Anne and Gary Wells moved into a home about three blocks east of the park — around the same time a group known then as the Woods Park Tennis Corp. entered into an agreement with the city to enclose six outdoor courts in “bubbles” and build a modern clubhouse.
People are also reading…
Neighbors called the bubbles an eyesore; tennis advocates said they offered everyone — not just people associated with private clubs — a chance to play tennis year-round.
So new lines of debate were drawn over a desire to expand those facilities and worries that expansion would come at the expense of urban green space.
The Wellses were among those who opposed previous expansions — at least twice since the bubbles were added — and now they’re spearheading opposition to the latest proposal that calls for not only an additional indoor facility but also more outdoor courts.
They started early — well before Friends of Woods Park, the non-profit that operates the Woods tennis facilities, submitted a formal request to the city in June.
“This time we decided to organize and show that it isn’t just a couple of concerned neighbors but a community,” Gary Wells said in an email because he and Mary Anne are traveling overseas.
Mary Kay Roth, who remembers pushing her now-grown children in strollers as she protested the bubbles, wrote a blog making the case for maintaining the existing green space.
She called it a turning point, a “milestone moment to decide whether we savor this park or continue to nibble away at it piece by piece, tree by tree.”
The Wellses said they heard of the plans in November 2021 and started a group called “Woods Park: Keep it Green.”
They and other residents in the neighborhood reached out to 200-some people interested in the environment and climate issues, asking them to help. They researched and made yard signs and created a Facebook page that now has 489 members. They worked with the Nebraska State Arboretum to get the park named a landscape affiliate site.
In addition to opposing the expansion plan, the group has planted 60-70 trees in the park — which has more than 750 — and helped revamp the pollinator gardens.
The city took note and decided to hire The Mediation Center to help navigate the two perspectives.
“I just knew from the energy we’d been receiving from the neighborhood that this would be quite a conversation,” said Lincoln Parks and Recreation Center Director Maggie Stuckey-Ross. “It is really important just because of the volume of voices we were hearing.”
Stuckey-Ross said she wants people to trust the parks department and feel city officials are being impartial and listening to all sides.
“Master plans are designed not only to set the vision for amenities in the park, but to ensure the ecological sustainability of the park,” she said. “So it matters. It is a big deal. We need to listen to all voices.”
The mediation process, which will start in earnest after Labor Day, will involve public meetings, and with neighborhood associations and the tennis center. Mediators will look for points of consensus and write a report with their conclusions — but not specific recommendations — for city officials.
Any changes to the Woods Park master plan require approval of both the parks and recreation advisory board and the City Council.
Members of Friends of Woods Park say the proposal is the second phase of a $6.3 million capital campaign that in 2017 resulted in a 90,000-square-foot building with six indoor courts that replaced the aging bubbles.
The second phase, included in the master plan update, was for four additional indoor courts.
But the plan didn’t account for the loss of three outdoor courts as a result of the new building, said Kevin Heim, executive director of Lincoln Tennis Center, nor steady growth of the program, so the plan was changed to add six more outdoor courts as well as additional parking.
Heim said indoor courts are operating at 84% capacity, more than twice the industry average, and there are waiting lists for school-year programs.
The expansion also would allow the facility to draw more and larger regional tournaments, driving tourism in Lincoln, Heim said.
If the plan comes to fruition, there will be a total of 15 outdoor courts (three more than now) and 10 indoor courts. The plan — which would include a $15 million capital campaign — also would include three indoor practice spaces, adjoining meeting rooms, locker rooms and bathrooms. A Lincoln Parks Foundation endowment would contribute $600,000 to replace the aging asphalt on the nine existing outdoor courts.
Heim and Todd Peterson, president of Friends of Woods Park, stress the rendering showing the new courts on the north end of the existing courts, along with extended parking, is just a starting point, and the final proposal could look different.
Heim said he wants to work with the neighborhood associations, and he began talking with them about the plans nearly two years ago, which was important to Peterson.
“We’ve always wanted to be a good steward and a good neighbor,” Peterson said.
The Wellses and other members of Keep it Green have suggested the tennis program expand to other parts of town or partner with Lincoln Public Schools to share their facilities.
“We are not against tennis. Many of our members play tennis and have utilized Woods tennis,” Gary Wells said. “Our concern is the open space and access to the park is being reduced to a point that it is no longer a park but a pay-for-use sports complex.”
Heim said the tennis program already offers programming at 35 sites across the community through its outreach programs that serve more than 2,000 non-paying players and it would be difficult to duplicate all the staffing and maintenance at another location.
He said the group's mission is to make tennis available to people of all abilities and income levels, and includes donating free racquets, $175,000 in scholarships and wheelchair programming. This year, the U.S. Tennis Association recognized the program as a National Junior Tennis and Learning Center.
Heim said that's why it's important to remain in the heart of Lincoln.
“We love being able to offer tennis, a lifetime sport for everyone, from the center of town,” Heim said. “And not just providing what’s oftentimes stereotyped as a country club sport for the few in only one portion of town.”
Marg Donlan, a longtime volunteer and president of the educational foundation, noted that a 2002 capital campaign made improvements to many areas of the park in addition to adding courts.
Members of Keep it Green say the new plan encroaches even farther on the park and they worry about the impact expanded parking would have on a row of oak trees along 33rd Street. They also fear the addition could result in the loss of up to 50 trees.
Because the master plan for Woods keeps changing, it's difficult for neighbors — or prospective neighbors — to know what to expect, said Mary Anne Wells.
“People that buy homes across from Woods Park believe they will be near a beautiful park that has been there since the 1950s,” she said. “They have no idea what is planned for the park’s future because there has never been a complete plan.”
The Wellses live where they do because of the park — their kids grew up playing tennis and baseball and swimming there, and today the couple walks through the paths that snake through the trees and green space.
Roth said that’s important, and worth keeping.
“If you cherish and value the specialness of having that kind of treasure in the middle of your city you shouldn’t let it go."

SAN ANTONIO — The family of the 4-year-old girl SAPD said drowned in a pool Wednesday night on the Southwest side is raising money to pay for the funeral.
The family held a plate sale Sunday afternoon at their family business, Little Fish Factory.
Across the restaurant’s counter were photos of Jazida Hernandez Cervera.
“We’re trying to stay strong, for her,” Cassandra Cervera said.
Cassandra and Terri Cervera are Jazida’s aunts. They said Jazida’s mother was at work Wednesday night when she got a call that her daughter had gone missing.
“She has to work, she’s a single mom with two children,” Terri Cervera said. “She’d rather die than her own daughter.”
San Antonio Police said the family, who was watching the four-year-old in a backyard, called them around 8 p.m. that night. Police said the family told them Jazida had only been missing for 30 minutes before they called.
Once police got to the home off Ocean Gate, they found her face down in an above the ground pool. She was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to police.
“She was mama’s best friend,” Cassandra Cervera said. “Mama loved her very much took care of her very much.”
The family is now focused on planning and paying for a funeral. Along with the plate sale, they set up a GoFundMe.
“She’s going to need the prayers for many many years to come, that’s her only daughter,” Terri Cervera said.
Police said the drowning appears to be accidental, but they are investigating. So far, no charges have been filed.

SAN ANTONIO — The owner of San Antonio’s only brick and mortar magic shop is looking to retire, which leaves the fate of the store uncertain if he can’t find someone to buy it.
He'll be the first to admit: it's a fun job.
"It's a very unique art.” Julio said, “It can be fun, it can be mysterious."
But he stresses that it is still a job, and that it comes with its own unique challenges.
“I don't think I ever took a solid weeks’ vacation off,” he said.
Julio announced he was putting the business up for sale on July 27th. Posting the announcement to the store’s Facebook page and its website.
“I'm ready to retire,” he said. “I don’t feel so bad that I have to. But I want to.”
Julio got into the magic business in 1997 after another magic store went up for sale. He said the owner showed him a simple trick that blew him away.
He didn't buy that shop, but months later it did inspire him to open his own. He said he set his shop apart by having it open and accessible. He said many of the stores at the time had all of the tricks hidden away, so people wouldn't be able to buy something unless they already knew what they were looking for.
In 2018, Julio was featured on Great Day SA. When Paul Mireles asked him about the future of his shop, Julio said to keep going until "whenever." Whenever, it appears, has arrived.
"It's been amazing for our family,” said Julio’s Son David Ramirez.
“I mean, I started when I was 12, I was demoing. I had that was like my first job. He was paying me."
David said he was conflicted when he found out his dad put the store up for sale.
know, my dad's been doing it for a long time,” he said. “And so, it's kind of his time."
he said taking over the shop himself has crossed his mind, but he worries juggling it with his full-time job and his six-month-old baby will be too much to handle.
"There's plenty of thoughts that kind of go through my mind," said David. "Haven’t got a chance to really kind of vet them or, ... even get close to making this sort of decision on that."
"for me, it was great, it was a turning point,” said JCR Magic regular Kevin Bryan.
Bryan has been coming to Julio's store for twenty years. The Vietnam Veteran said performing magic has helps him with his PTSD.
"I got to where I could interact with people by performing. By becoming…” Bryan paused to put on a brown bowler hat before deepening his voice.
“…Professor Baffle," he proclaimed.
For Professor Baffle, the Ramirez's and everyone involved, the future of JCR Magic remains an open question. But Julio is hopeful that the magic won't have to disappear.
"Hopefully I can get a buyer that will continue the magic shop in San Antonio," he said.

BOISE, Idaho — Worship leaders held a concert on the steps of the Idaho State Capitol building Sunday evening, as part of a nationwide tour bringing worship music to every state.
Sean Feucht is the Christian singer who's spearheading the Kingdom to the Capitol tour. He drew roughly 1,000 people to Idaho's capital - and a few dozen counter-protesters.
The Kingdom to the Capitol tour is organized by TPUSA Faith.
"Our mission is to get the church to engage civically, we believe the church should shape culture," Caleb Collier, Cascade regional manager of TPUSA Faith said. "We're out here empowering churches and pastors to address moral issues from the pulpit."
The tour is hitting every state capital over the next two years, Idaho was its 24th stop. It's part of 'Let Us Worship' - a movement that started in July of 2020.
"The church has been a place where people can go in their time in need, and they can seek comfort, and they can seek prayer, and the government shut it down," Collier said. "Sean was out there worshipping Jesus out in the public and the movement caught on, because there were a lot of people that were hungry for truth. And as Christians, we believe the greatest truth is Jesus Christ."
The concert drew a counter-protest organized by Satanic Idaho and Idaho Abortion Rights.
"Really, it's about creating space for marginalized folks and people who are impacted by Christian nationalism," Rowan Astra, co-organizer of Satanic Idaho said. "People who want to speak out against the harm that Christian nationalists do in our legislature against abortion rights, LGBT rights - especially in Idaho. I feel that it's important to counter these folks. We're not going to make it easy for them to be bigots, not in our town."
Both groups had permits to be there. The concert was in front of the statehouse steps, while the counter-protesters were at Cecil Andrus Park.
"Honestly, we live in the freest country in the world, and we all have that ability of freedom of speech," Collier said. "So they have every right to be out here. But when you look at the message of what they believe versus what we believe, there are a group of people that unfortunately are just in the chains of sin and addiction, and they're confused about so many different issues. What we offer over on this side is freedom - true freedom."
Astra said the majority of the counter-protesters are not against religion or Christianity.
"We're against Christian nationalism, something that Sean Feucht has defined himself as," Astra said. "Christian nationalists believe only Christians should be legislators, only Christian doctrine should apply to U.S. citizens, and we simply are for the Constitution - and believe that's unconstitutional. It's not about hating Christianity. It's about fighting for everyone's rights and preventing a theocracy."
The Kingdom to the Capitol tour is making its next stops in South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa.
"We're actually on the third stop of this leg," Collier said. "So Friday, we were down in Olympia, we had about 6000 Christians in Olympia worshiping God right there. Yesterday, we were in Salem, and we had about 3000 Christians show up to that one. And it's so empowering to be a part of this movement to see so many people."

RISING SUN, Md. — A wound-up electrical cord is blamed for a fire that killed a dog in a camper trailer in Cecil County over the weekend.
It was reported on McGrady Road in Rising Sun at about 4:35 p.m. July 29, said the Maryland State Fire Marshal's office.
The Fire Marshal's Office is reminding residents to "always fully extend any electrical cord prior to using. Current traveling through an electrical cord generates heat and by unwinding the cord, the heat is able to dissipate."
The fire caused an estimated $8,000 in damage, and took 25 firefighters about 10 minutes to control. It was discovered by a neighbor, on the rear electrical cord reel.

ATLANTA — Editor's Note: The above video is from a previous version of this story.
A new reactor at a nuclear power plant in Georgia has entered commercial operation, becoming the first new American reactor built from scratch in decades.
Georgia Power Co. announced Monday that Unit 3 at Plant Vogtle, southeast of Augusta, has completed testing and is now sending power to the grid reliably.
At its full output of 1,100 megawatts of electricity, Unit 3 can power 500,000 homes and businesses. Utilities in Georgia, Florida and Alabama are receiving the electricity.
Nuclear power now makes up about 25% of the generation of Georgia Power, the largest unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co.
A fourth reactor is also nearing completion at the site, where two earlier reactors have been generating electricity for decades. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Friday said radioactive fuel could be loaded into Unit 4, a step expected to take place before the end of September. Unit 4 is scheduled to enter commercial operation by March.
The third and fourth reactors were originally supposed to cost $14 billion, but are now on track to cost their owners $31 billion. That doesn’t include $3.7 billion that original contractor Westinghouse paid to the owners to walk away from the project. That brings total spending to almost $35 billion.
The third reactor was supposed to start generating power in 2016 when construction began in 2009.
Vogtle is important because government officials and some utilities are again looking to nuclear power to alleviate climate change by generating electricity without burning natural gas, coal and oil.
“This project shows just how new nuclear can and will play a critical role in achieving a clean energy future for the United States,” Southern Co. CEO Chris Womack said in a statement. “Bringing this unit safely into service is a credit to the hard work and dedication of our teams at Southern Company and the thousands of additional workers who have helped build that future at this site.”
In Georgia, almost every electric customer will pay for Vogtle. Georgia Power currently owns 45.7% of the reactors. Smaller shares are owned by Oglethorpe Power Corp., which provides electricity to member-owned cooperatives, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and the city of Dalton. Oglethorpe and MEAG plan to sell power to cooperatives and municipal utilities across Georgia, as well in Jacksonville, Florida, and parts of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
Georgia Power’s 2.7 million customers are already paying part of the financing cost and elected public service commissioners have approved a monthly rate increase of $3.78 a month for residential customers as soon as the third unit begins generating power. That could hit bills in August, two months after residential customers saw a $16-a-month increase to pay for higher fuel costs.
Commissioners will decide later who pays for the remainder of the costs of Vogtle, including the fourth reactor.

ATLANTA — Multiple tragedies were reported on Lake Lanier over the weekend with two people now dead and one still missing.
Man electrocuted
A man was killed last Thursday after jumping off a dock into the lake, according to Georgia DNR.
This happened near Lanier Beach South Road in Forsyth County.
Officials provided limited details on what precisely occurred other than to say the victim, 24-year-old Thomas Milner entered the water from his family's dock and was heard screaming shortly after.
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said neighbors took a boat over to help Milner, jumped into the water, and described "a burning sensation he recognized as an electric shock."
Authorities add that the neighbor swam ashore and turned off a power box before pulling Milner from the water.
DNR adds that the victim was taken to Northside Forsyth Hospital where he later died.
Man drowns
A 61-year-old drowned in Lake Lanier Saturday, game wardens said.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said game wardens along with Hall County fire rescue personnel were called to a drowning call near East Bank Park. They began searching for a man who was swimming from a boat and did not resurface.
Authorities searched for the man, identified as Tracey Stewart, 61, using boat-mounted sonar. Hall County fire officials also used ROV.
Just after 9 p.m., Stewart was recovered under 46 feet of water.
27-year-old missing
Search were on the water working to locate a 27-year-old man Sunday.
Game wardens and Hall County fire crews were first called to the search near Van Pugh Park on Saturday after the man was swimming and never came back up, according to DNR.
DNR has not shared any other details about the man but said updates would be forthcoming.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Brookview Elementary School is a tight-knit community, where Principal Jovita Wallace describes the students as "our babies."
For many students and teachers, back to school feels more like coming home.
The Fulton County school forges a bond through thick and thin - 100% of the student body qualifies for free breakfast and lunch, and Brookview has a 70% transiency rate.
Brookview also provides clothes, laundry and even transportation to kids who can't get to a bus route - trying to meet as many needs as possible.
"My parents work extremely hard, but when life is 'life-ing,' it is a survival moment," Wallace explained. "And so as a school it is important for us to provide those resources."
The end result, as Keimiyah, a fifth grader, put it: "I feel protected when I'm here."
"There are kids who are truly in situations that we call crisis – dire situations. We have kids who are living in homeless states," Wallace said.
11Alive's Back to School supply drive will benefit Brookview this year, helping a school that helps its community in ways that go far beyond the classroom.
Please visit our donation link here to support Brookview and the Back-to-School drive.

The Brookview family
Donesha Green is raising four girls. She said Brookview has changed their lives.
“This is where we need to be," she said. "I know my kids are cared for here.”
The Brookview family stares down a lot obstacles - and is overcoming them, even being named a distinguished school.
"We are moving the needle when it comes to academic," Principal Wallace said. "I love that my kids understand that in spite whatever they come through, it doesn’t depict the story of who they will be."
She said providing a path for these students is "definitely possible."
"But it takes support."
It’s why this year’s 11Alive’s school supply drive will help Brookview.
"This sets the trajectory for their lives," Wallace said. "The support is a blessing, a real blessing."
Making a school that provides the stability of home – stronger.

BOULDER, Colo. — A 17-year-old National Team bicyclist was hit and killed by a car while training in Boulder County this weekend, USA Cycling said.
Magnus White was preparing to compete in the Junior Men’s Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Championships in Scotland on Aug. 10, and was set to start his senior year of high school in a few weeks.
The crash happened Saturday in his home of Boulder, according to a GoFundMe page set up for his family.
White is survived by his parents Jill and Michael, his brother Eero "and countless friends worldwide," the page says.
"White fell in love with cycling at an early age through Boulder Junior Cycling. He was a rising star in the off-road cycling scene and his passion for cycling was evident through his racing and camaraderie with his teammates and local community," USA Cycling said.
"We offer our heartfelt condolences to the White family, his teammates, friends, and the Boulder community during this incredibly difficult time," the organization said.

PITTSBURGH — The defense and prosecution have rested their cases in the final phase of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial.
The prosecution does not have any rebuttal witnesses. The next step in this phase will be closing arguments.
The judge said he will go late into the night if needed to finish closings today.
On Friday, Dr. George Corvin, a psychiatrist who examined Bowers on multiple occasions and diagnosed him with schizophrenia, returned to the stand.
Corvin said that Bowers’ delusional thinking made him believe that Jews were possessed by Satan, which led to the shooting.
Corvin said a history of mental illness, specifically schizophrenia, led to this distorted thinking.
Bowers’ uncle and aunt also testified Friday, with his aunt continuing testimony today.

PITTSBURGH — How much of an impact the events of March 2023 had on the banking sector may not have completely played out. Uncertainty around the economy, despite a July surge in the stock market, continues.
But second-quarter earnings reports are yielding some clues, particularly when it comes to the ability to lend.
There’s good news locally, at least for now. A look at nonperforming loans, charge-offs, delinquencies and provision for credit losses at the four largest publicly traded banks headquartered in the Pittsburgh region indicates some minor slippage compared with the start of the year, but certainly nothing significant or worrisome.

FRISCO, Texas — The Frisco Police Chief is apologizing today to a family from Little Rock pulled over and held at gunpoint this past Sunday because the officers mistakenly believed they were in a stolen car: a mistake Frisco PD says happened because an officer entered the vehicle as being from Arizona, not Arkansas.
On Sunday, a Frisco police officer saw a black Dodge Charger with an out-of-state license plate leaving a hotel. Police said due to recent burglaries and vehicle thefts in which Chargers are frequently stolen, the officer conducted a computer check of the vehicle’s Arkansas license plate. However, when entering the information, the plate was mistakenly entered out of Arizona, according to police. The error resulted in an incorrect registration return, leading the officer to believe that the vehicle was possibly stolen.
The officer then reportedly initiated a "high-risk traffic stop" on the Dallas North Tollway, which police said is standard procedure for stolen vehicles.
The officer who pulled over vehicle waited inside her squad car for nearly four minutes until additional officers arrived. In body cam videos released Friday, the officers use their PA system to shout commands at the family.
"Everyone put their hands outside, do it now," an officer yells. "Walk a little faster. The tollway is shut down," the officer shouts at the female driver. "Keep walking backwards."
After the driver is out of the vehicle and placed in a squad car, officers yell at a teen in the back seat to get out next. He turns out to be the 6th grade son of the driver.
"If you reach in that car, you may get shot so be careful. Do not reach in the car," the officer shouts once they have been told, by the driver, that her licensed handgun is locked in the glove compartment.
Then, 10-minutes into the traffic stop, you can hear the officers in the body cam videos realizing their mistake.
"Are you serious," an officer asks.
"The wrong tag was written. This isn't a stolen vehicle," another officer tells him.
The passenger in the front seat, the driver's husband, breaks down in tears. The boys in the back seat are his son and a nephew. He is their basketball coach and they were headed to a youth basketball tournament and were supposed to be playing their first game at 9AM.
"Listen but we're just here for a basketball tournament," he tells the officers. "Man don't do this to my sons bro," he says as he beings to cry. "Y'all put a gun to my son for no reason."
"So it looks like I made a mistake," the officer who made the initial computer entry tells them.
"We're so sorry it happened like this," another officer says. "We're human as well and we make mistakes."
On her TikTok account the driver, who identifies herself as Demi Janale, recounted what she called a traumatizing encounter.
"It's just I can't make sense of it. And why my son was treated that way. Why he was not treated as a child," she said. "It's not OK. And I thank God that we were not physically injured but we have suffered a lot of mental and emotional trauma from this."
"I've cried so much today I don't know if I have any more tears to cry. Every time I see the video of my baby, I just can't believe it. I feel like this is a very bad dream."
“We made a mistake,” said Frisco Police Chief David Shilson in a written statement. “Our department will not hide from its mistakes. Instead, we will learn from them. The officer involved quickly accepted responsibility for what happened, which speaks to integrity. I’ve spoken with the family. I empathize with them and completely understand why they’re upset. I apologized on behalf of our department and assured them that we will hold ourselves accountable and provide transparency through the process. This incident does not reflect the high standard of service that our officers provide on a daily basis to our residents, businesses and visitors.”

SAN DIEGO — The "Barbie" premiere has painted the world hot pink.
From high heels, to glasses, pink blouses and pants to match, movie theaters have transformed into a Barbie world.
The movie has motivated thousands of people nationwide to dress up for the occasion. Some people are digging into their closet and even wearing their old quince gowns to the theater, adding a little touch of Latino culture to the pink craze.
Viral TikTok videos have made headlines of girls recording the moment they walk into theaters with their quinceañera dresses.
Aly Jurewicz is one of those people, she posted this video showing off her pink sparkly quinceañera dress.
“I just had to wear it. I was really debating on whether or not I should go out while wearing it. You know a lot of people are going to be looking at you,” she said.
Watching Barbie as an adult sent childhood memories flooding back for some, reminding them too that Barbies come in all shapes and colors.
“Even though I'm 65 I'm a child at heart and I've always loved Barbies,” said Debby Valentine who was decked out in pink.
It has become a fashion statement for Aly and other women wearing quinceañera dresses.
“It's really nice to be able to spread my culture and expose it to people who might not know,” said Aly.

ALABAMA (WHNT) — A new law aimed at correcting a shortage of doctors is going into effect in Alabama on August 1.
Governor Kay Ivey signed the Physician Workforce Act in May of this year – after it was passed in the Alabama Legislature. The law makes changes to some of the requirements for practicing medicine, in hopes of putting more physicians in place sooner.
“There’s a shortage of physicians in the state of Alabama and anything we can do to increase the number of physicians and the quality of physicians in our state will be a service to our citizens,” said the President of the Alabama Medical Association, Dr. George Koulianos.
The law makes three main changes.
The first is to establish an apprenticeship-like program for medical graduates who don’t match into a residency program. This will allow them to be able to start working while training under a licensed physician.
“There are more medical school graduates now than there are residency spots, so sometimes it takes a resident a year or two,” Koulianos said.
“A young physician, it takes them a year or two to obtain a residency slot and we don’t want to lose those doctors to other states. We want them to stay in the state so they can train in the state because where the physician trains the majority of the time is where they settle.”
The new law will also change the timeline for international medical graduates. They will now be able to apply for a medical license after two years, rather than three.
“They could actually start working in urgent cares and ER shifts in some of the hospitals after two years because they would be able to obtain a state license,” said Robert Chappell, the Chief Medical Officer for the Huntsville Hospital Health System.
International medical graduates actually make up about 20% of the current physician workforce in Alabama, according to the Alabama Medical Association.
The law also makes it easier for physicians in other states to be able to start practicing medicine in Alabama. It eliminates the Special Purpose Exam (SPEX), which is a knowledge test.
However, Chappell said people don’t need to worry about this because all hospitals go through a rigorous hiring process.
“We have a very rigorous credential criteria for the hospital,” Chappel said. “I think what the state is trying to do is be more in line with other states. I think they’re trying to reduce that extra red tape, and of course, we’ll still have standards consistent with other states in the U.S.”
Chappell said having access to medical care and physicians is paramount in Alabama.
“Right now, Alabama has some of the highest numbers in terms of chronic disease, like hypertension, diabetes, but yet we have some of the lowest numbers in terms of physicians to take care of those,” Chappell said. “Patients often don’t have anywhere to go, they don’t have access to a specialist or a primary care doctor, and they end up in the emergency room.”
The new law goes into effect on August 1st.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Five months after Stromboli was rescued after eating a fishing net, the green sea turtle is back in the ocean and off to the races.
Stromboli, now known as “Zee,” was released by the Brevard Zoo Sea Turtle Healing Center on Sunday at Melbourne Beach. The turtle took with them an extra piece of hardware, a satellite tag that will track the turtle across the globe as part of the “Tour de Turtles.”
>>> STREAM CHANNEL 9 EYEWITNESS NEWS LIVE <<<
Created by the Sea Turtle Conservancy, the Tour de Turtles tracks sea turtles on their “migration marathon” allowing sponsors and the public to follow along online.
“The Tour de Turtles competitors will swim with the goal of being the turtle to swim the furthest distance during the migration marathon,” organizers said. “You can get involved by supporting a turtle to help raise awareness about their cause. While we may not know the outcome of the race, one thing is certain: saving sea turtles is a marathon, not a sprint!”

AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) – “The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas!”
For over 80 years, “Deep in the Heart of Texas” has been a familiar refrain in the Lone Star State, standing as one of the most reliable ways to summon a chorus of clapping and answering shouts. However, the catchy tune also holds true; according to experts such as those with the International Dark-Sky Association and other agencies, Texas is home to some of the best places to stargaze in the world.
Here are a few of the best locations in Texas to turn your gaze skyward this summer.
The stargazing areas have also been included with their “Bortle Scale” rankings from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, a measurement used to convey the level of light pollution in a location from Class 1 (stars are the most visible) to Class 9 (stars are the least visible.)
Panhandle Plains and North Texas
Copper Breaks State Park (IDSP)
The IDA designated Copper Breaks State Park in Quanah as an “International Dark Sky Park,” a protected area open to the public that has an exceptional quality of starry nights. The park has a Class 2 Bortle Scale ranking, meaning it is just barely removed from the darkest skies that can be viewed without a telescope on planet Earth.
While those dark skies can be seen at any time for those visiting the park, its organizers have also noted that it has regular “star parties” and stargazing-focused events throughout the year.
Caprock Canyons State Park & Trailway
While Caprock Canyons State Park in Quitaque isn’t designated as an IDSP, it still holds a Class 2 Bortle Scale ranking and stands as one of the most popular outdoor destinations around the High Plains and Texas Panhandle region.
Not only can visitors to the park participate in assorted history and wildlife programs, and enjoy nearly 90 miles of trails open for hiking and biking, horseback riding, and camping, but it also offers year-round beautiful sunsets and stargazing opportunities. Caprock Canyons State Park is also home to Texas State Bison Herd, the last remaining example of the Southern Plains buffalo.
Hill Country and Central Texas
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area (IDSP)
Established in Fredericksburg, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area stands as another of the IDSP-designated parks around Texas. Often known for its massive pink granite dome rising above Central Texas and other geological draws, the park also has a Class 3 Bortle Scale Ranking.
While its Class 3 ranking means that the area’s sky is considered “rural,” with some light pollution obscuring the view compared to some other areas, park officials with the TPWD have said that they have taken steps to minimize nighttime lighting in the park. Further, the park has a “dark sky monitor” to measure its relative darkness and regularly hosts its own “Rock Star Parties” for the benefit of community spectacle and education.
South Llano River State Park (IDSP)
On the southwestern edge of the Hill Country, the South Llano River State Park in Junction offers activities and habitats for regional wildlife and locals alike. Many visitors to the park enjoy swimming, floating, paddling, and fishing along the river, though they also take advantage of the area’s after-dark events and opportunities.
The South Llano River State Park also has a Class 3 Bortle Scale ranking, like its regional neighbor in Fredericksburg, and is similarly designated as an IDSP. Dark sky monitoring through the Putman Mountain Observatory has further allowed visitors to see real-time sky darkness measurements along the South Llano River and curate their best stargazing experience.
Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area
In the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area in Rocksprings, many visitors flock to see the approximately 3 million bats swirl in search of food on warm Texas nights. Although the bats rule the night in the park, the sky is also speckled with a magnificent array of stars.
Aside from a ready view of the Mexican free-tailed bats in the sinkhole itself, the park has a Class 2 Bortle Scale ranking, meaning its summer skies offer a rare view of the Milky Way as well as other astronomical objects, such as the Triangulum and Andromeda galaxies.
East Texas and Gulf Coastal Plains
Brazos Bend State Park
Only 45 miles from downtown Houston, Brazos Bend State Park in Needville stands among the most reliable areas in Texas for city-dwelling nature lovers to travel for hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking, and camping – albeit while sharing space with the local alligators.
Although Brazos Bend State Park has a Class 5 Bortle Scale ranking, considered a “suburban” sky with much of the Milky Way obscured, it is home to the George Observatory. Weather permitting, the observatory is open on Saturday nights all throughout the year and offers guides through the night sky through deck and dome telescopes as well as live camera feeds.
Mission Tejas State Park
Settled at the north end of the Davy Crockett National Forest, the Mission Tejas State Park in Grapeland is a center for Texas history in the Pineywoods. The Civilian Conservation Corps has worked to preserve remnants of Spanish efforts to settle in the area as well as a log home built in the early 1800s, alongside activities for visitors such as hiking, fishing, and camping.
Mission Tejas State Park is also noted by the TPWD to have a Class 3 Bortle Scale ranking, the highest among the parks in the Pineywoods region, meaning visitors to the area will be able to get an astronomical look back in history during their visit by looking up past the forest canopy.
Southwest Texas and Big Bend Country
Big Bend Ranch State Park (IDSP)
Coming in with the only Class 1 Bortle Scale ranking in Texas, Big Bend Ranch State Park is not only an IDSP but arguably one of the very best places to be to stargaze in the Lone Star State.
Nestled away with entrances in Marfa, Terlingua, and Presidio, the Big Bend Ranch State Park is just a short drive northwest of Big Bend National Park, which is also designated as an IDSP. Remote and rugged, Big Bend Ranch State Park was noted by the IDA to have once been among the 15 largest working cattle ranches in the U.S. Now, it’s one of the numerous hotspots in the Big Bend region for stargazing, camping, hiking, off-roading, and other outdoor activities.
Barton Warnock Visitor Center (IDSP)
Right between Big Bend Ranch State Park and Big Bend National Park, the Barton Warnock Visitor Center in Terlingua is another Class 2 Bortle Scale ranking area for the stargazing adventurers of Texas to visit.
While the park cautions that visitors may experience dangerously-high heat from April to September, even after sunset, it does offer a number of trails, a two-acre desert garden, river paddling, and an uninterrupted view of the desert skies.
Devils River State Natural Area (IDSS)
While not designated as an IDSP, the Devils River State Natural Area in Del Rio is certified as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary.
Like its siblings with the IDSS designation, the Devils River State Natural Area is in a remote location with few nearby threats to its dark sky. Considered to have a Class 2 Bortle Scale ranking, visitors can fish and paddle along the river, camp, hike, and share in one of the clearest views of the starry sky in Texas.
However, as noted by park officials, visitors wishing to access the area or the paddler camps will need to have a Devils River Access Permit.
A full list of Texas state parks and their dark sky rankings can be found here, alongside further information on observatories in Texas, the TPWD Dark Skies program, and other notable resources for stargazers in the Lone Star State.

NEW YORK (AP) — A week later, the “Barbenheimer” boom has not abated.
Seven days after Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” conspired to set box office records, the two films held unusually strongly in theaters. “Barbie” took in a massive $93 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Oppenheimer” stayed in second with a robust $46.2 million. Sales for the two movies dipped 43% and 44%, respectably — well shy of the usual week-two drops.
“Barbenheimer” has proven to be not a one-weekend phenomenon but an ongoing box-office bonanza. The two movies combined have already surpassed $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore, call it “a touchstone moment for movies, moviegoers and movie theaters.”
“Having two movies from rival studios linked in this way and both boosting each other’s fortunes — both box-office wise and it terms of their profile — I don’t know if there’s a comp for this in the annals of box-office history,” said Dergarabedian. “There’s really no comparison for this.”
Following its year-best $162 million opening, the pink-infused pop sensation of “Barbie” saw remarkably sustained business through the week and into the weekend. The film outpaced Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” to have the best first 11 days in theaters of any Warner Bros. release ever.
“Barbie” has rapidly accumulated $351.4 million in U.S. and Canadian theaters, a rate that will soon make it the biggest box-office hit of the summer. Every day it’s played, “Barbie” has made at least $20 million.
And the “Barbie” effect isn’t just in North America. The film made $122.2 million internationally over the weekend. Its global tally has reached $775 million. It’s the kind of business that astounds even veteran studio executives.
“That’s a crazy number,” said Jeff Goldstein, distribution chief for Warner Bros. “There’s just a built-in audience that wants to be part of the zeitgeist of the moment. Wherever you go, people are wearing pink. Pink is taking over the world.”
Amid the frenzy, “Barbie” is already attracting a lot of repeat moviegoers. Goldstein estimates that 12% of sales are people going back with friends or family to see it again.
For a movie industry that has been trying to regain its pre-pandemic footing — and that now finds itself largely shuttered due to actors and screenwriters strikes — the sensations of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” have showed what’s possible when everything lines up just right.
“Post-pandemic, there’s no ceiling and there’s no floor,” Goldstein said. “The movies that miss really miss big time, and the movies that work really work big time.”
Universal Pictures’ “Oppenheimer,” meanwhile, is performing more like a superhero movie than a three-hour film about scientists talking.
Nolan’s drama starring Cillian Murphy as atomic bomb physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer has accrued $174.1 million domestically thus far. With an additional $72.4 million in international cinemas, “Oppenheimer” has already surpassed $400 million globally.
Showings in IMAX have typically been sold out. “Oppenheimer” has made $80 million worldwide on IMAX. The large-format exhibitor said Sunday that it will extend the film’s run through Aug. 13.
The week’s top new release, Walt Disney Co.’s “Haunted Mansion,” an adaptation of the Disney theme park attraction, was easily overshadowed by the “Barbenheimer” blitz. The film, which cost about $150 million, debuted with $24 million domestically and $9 million in overseas sales. “Haunted Mansion,” directed by Justin Simien (“Dear White People,” “Bad Hair”) and starring an ensemble of LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito and Rosario Dawson, struggled to overcome mediocre reviews.
“Talk to Me,” the A24 supernatural horror film, fared better. It debuted with $10 million. The film, directed by Australian filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou and starring Sophie Wilde, was a midnight premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and received terrific reviews from critics (95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). It was made for a modest $4.5 million.
While theaters being flush with moviegoers has been a huge boon to the film industry, it’s been tougher sledding for Tom Cruise, the so-called savior of the movies last summer with “Top Gun: Maverick.” “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I,” which debuted the week before the arrival of “Barbenheimer,” grossed $10.7 million in its third weekend. The film starring Cruise and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, has grossed $139.2 million domestically and $309.3 million oveseas.
Instead, the sleeper hit “Sound of Freedom” has been the best performing non-“Barbenheimer” release in theaters. The Angel Studios’ release, which is counting crowdfunding pay-it-forward sales in its box office totals, made $12.4 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its haul thus far to nearly $150 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Barbie,” $93 million.
2. “Opppenheimer,” $46.2 million.
3. “Haunted Mansion,” $24.2 million.
4. “Sound of Freedom,” $12.4 million.
5. “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One,” $10.7 million.
6. “Talk to Me,” $10 million.
7. “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” $4 million.
8. “Elemental,” $3.4 million.
9. “Insidious: The Red Door,” $3.2 million.
10. “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,” $1.6 million.

What do you do when you can't beat the heat? Cumberland County's homeless speak out
As Cumberland County bakes in a sweltering heat wave in the final days of July, many are taking preventive measures to stay safe and out of the record-breaking heat indices — but hundreds of residents can’t.
The county’s homeless population might take advantage of cooling stations at county libraries, Parks and Recreation centers, the Department of Public Health, the Department of Social Services and the Fayetteville Area System of Transit lobby, but those options are only available during business hours. Furthermore, with fares now in effect for city buses, not all homeless residents may be able to get to those locations to take shelter.
On Thursday afternoon, Tiffany Miller, 38, dabbed at rivulets of sweat with the hem of her T-shirt as she sat inside the downtown library, after walking three blocks from the Manna Dream Center, where she'd eaten a free lunch. Miller said she has been homeless since her house was foreclosed on in February.
“I’m sweating a lot because of the heat,” she said apologetically.
Miller and other homeless residents said the heat is not only uncomfortable but further perpetuates the stereotype that homeless people are dirty and disheveled.
“Your clothes don’t look appropriate when you’re out there trying to get a job and do everything you can to not be homeless,” said Jessica Benge, 41, one of the many homeless people who use the library to stay cool during the day.
Benge said she has been homeless for three weeks after domestic violence forced her out of her Scotland County home. The shelter she was staying at transferred her to Cumberland County, but the shelter here had no space for her, Benge said.
Benge said the heat sometimes makes her lightheaded, and even if she finds somewhere to take a shower, she quickly gets so sweaty that would-be employers turn up their noses.
“I don’t have a place to try to look better to be better,” she said. “I know that everyone wants their city to look pretty, but wouldn’t we all look pretty with jobs?”
Dangerously hot
Toby Carter, program director at LifeLINK Air and Specialty Care, which provides emergency healthcare under Cape Fear Valley Health, said Thursday that the high temperatures can be life-threatening.
“The danger is real,” he said. “When we’re seeing heat indices of over 100, it goes without saying that, that affects everyone.”
All groups are at risk when temperatures are this high, Carter said, but the elderly and very young children may be more easily affected because they can struggle to regulate temperature.
According to Carter, those exposed to high temperatures can suffer from heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, sunburn and heat rash, with heat stroke and heat exhaustion being the most severe of the two categories.
“In any of these cases, they are preventable,” he said.
Carter said residents should watch out for the following symptoms, which can be signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke:
- Rapid heart rate
- Fast or shallow breathing
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Headache
“It’s good to know the signs,” he said.
Those with symptoms should immediately find a cool source of shelter, hydrate and take a cold shower or bath, Carter said. Anyone with dizziness or a headache should not hesitate to call 911, he said.
Is prevention possible?
Carter said proper hydration before going outside and generally “taking care of yourself” can prevent heat-related illness, but some homeless residents say their situations make that task near-impossible.
Staying properly hydrated and fed can be a problem for homeless members of the community regardless of the temperature, some said. Curtis Stobie, 63, has been staying at the Manna Dream Center shelter but can struggle to find food on the weekends because local nonprofits and shelters only offer meals on weekdays, he said.
“On Saturday and Sunday, there are no food resources,” Stobie said. “Once in a while, somebody’ll show up in a car and they’ll pass out meals, but we don’t know when or where that will be.”
Nelson Montanez, 52, cried as he spoke of his experience with homelessness in Cumberland County. He said he moved here from Miami for a fresh start.
Montanez said he tries to get food from local churches on the weekends, but feels stuck in his circumstances, with the heat and his status as a felon making it even more difficult to search for jobs and potential apartments.
“It’s horrible right now,” he said. “People need help.”
If you suspect you are suffering from heat stroke, call 911. Government watchdog reporter Lexi Solomon can be reached at ABSolomon@gannett.com.

PORT ANGELES, Wash. — An 8-year-old suffered minor injuries after being attacked by a cougar while camping at Lake Angeles in the Olympic National Park on Saturday.
The cougar "casually abandoned" the attack after the child's mother yelled at it, according to the National Park Service.
"Luckily, the mom responded perfectly and quickly and started yelling and screaming at this cougar. It let the kid go and walked away," said Amos Almy, acting public information officer for Olympic National Park.
Park personnel responded and escorted the child and their family back to the trailhead. The child was then taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. It was confirmed the child only had minor injuries.
"Minor abrasions, scrapes, punctures, stuff like that," said Almy. "I think they realized that it was a pretty scary incident... we're so happy that it was not a huge incident, and that the kid is safe."
All remaining campers in the Lake Angeles area have been evacuated and access to the Lake Angeles and Heather Park areas are closed to the public until further notice.
“Due to the extreme nature of this incident, we are closing the Lake Angeles area and several trails in the vicinity,” said Olympic National Park Wildlife Biologist Tom Kay. “Out of an abundance of caution, the Lake Angeles Trail, Heather Park Trail, Switchback Trail, and the entire Klahhane Ridge Trail are closed until further notice.”
Almy said those areas will remain closed until the cougar is found or they're certain the cougar has moved to another area of the park.
Law enforcement and wildlife personnel specializing in cougar tracking were dispatched to the cougar's last known location Sunday morning. If the cougar is located it will be euthanized and removed for necropsy, according to the National Park Service.
Almy said people should keep in mind that cougar sightings are extremely rare, and cougar attacks even rarer.
"That almost never happens, and it's a sign of very, very unusual behavior," Almy said. "And when you have an animal like that behaving so unusually, you have to kind of take extreme measures and for this, unfortunately, it will be euthanization if that cougar is found. It's also important to remember, we're park rangers, we're wildlife biologists, we don't enjoy killing wildlife. That is not why we signed on to this job. But in circumstances like this, it is warranted."
The Olympic National Park is considered cougar territory. The National Park Service recommends visitors do not hike or jog alone and to keep children within sight and close to adults.
Cougar/human interactions are rare in the northwest. But if you encounter one, officials say to do the following:
- Do not run
- Make noise and appear large
- If attacked, fight back
- Carry bear spray

WASHINGTON, USA — Fires sparking throughout the state have kept fire crews busy this summer.
Officials with the state's Fire Marshal's Office believe this could be just the beginning of an extended wildfire season.
"The second half is the most challenging,” said Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz. “We're heading into the most difficult we always have. And I'll tell you it's already been a very busy fire season."
It's not even August yet and the Department of Natural Resources has already had its fair share of wildfires to respond to.
"We've already had 1,000 fires to date, 80,000 acres burnt," said Franz.
The Washington Fire Marshal's Office is also reporting an early start to fire response this year, providing a helping hand to DNR crews and local fire agencies.
“Our fire season for mobilization usually starts after Father's Day, it started in May," said Gregory Baruso, the public information officer with the Fire Marshal's Office.
The Fire Marshal’s office has already responded to 150,000 burned acres throughout the state.
"But the acres are going up,” said Baruso. “When folks talk about climate change and global warming, it's here."
Franz said her biggest concern is where some of these fires are taking place. "I think one of the things that's really concerning for us is a lot of the fires we've had to date are in the west side of the state, we don't usually see that many fires this early on the west side," said Commissioner Franz.
Both agencies said they’re concerned for a potentially extended fire season. "I expect it to be a little bit warmer, we're probably going to see more still and our season doesn't stop mobilization until the first week until October, so that gives you an idea where we're at," said Baruso.

BOULDER, Colo. — A 17-year-old National Team bicyclist was hit and killed by a car while training in Boulder County this weekend, USA Cycling said.
Magnus White was preparing to compete in the Junior Men’s Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Championships in Scotland on Aug. 10, and was set to start his senior year of high school in a few weeks.
The crash happened Saturday in his home of Boulder, according to a GoFundMe page set up for his family.
White is survived by his parents Jill and Michael, his brother Eero "and countless friends worldwide," the page says.
"White fell in love with cycling at an early age through Boulder Junior Cycling. He was a rising star in the off-road cycling scene and his passion for cycling was evident through his racing and camaraderie with his teammates and local community," USA Cycling said.
"We offer our heartfelt condolences to the White family, his teammates, friends, and the Boulder community during this incredibly difficult time," the organization said.

TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Downtown Partnership announced Monday a new option coming this fall to help with traveling around the downtown Tampa area.
Downtown Area Shared Hubs, known as DASH, will move passengers through the city with low-cost shared rides between more than 20 different hubs found across the area, according to a news release.
People will be picked up in bright yellow Tesla SUVs with "expert driver-ambassadors" behind the wheel. Each driver reportedly undergoes a background check and is trained.
DASH is set to go live in October with future passengers only needing to use a mobile app to catch a ride to their destination. Rides will pair up to four passengers to share the hub-to-hub trip.
And for people wondering how much the rides will cost, city leaders say it'll cost just a "few dollars per trip." Information about hub locations, pricing and operating hours will be announced in the coming weeks.
“Whether you live, work, play or learn here, DASH will help everyone who comes to Tampa’s Downtown by giving them a new mobility option," Tampa Downtown Partnership Interim President Shaun Drinkard said in a statement. "A ride in a DASH Tesla will be low-cost, protected from the weather, and ideal for medium-length trips within downtown."
Along with the new service comes new job opportunities with hiring for driver-ambassadors beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 1.
After going through extensive safety and driving training, workers will also have to complete in-depth training as an ambassador to downtown Tampa's seven neighborhoods, the release says.
Job applicants can apply starting Tuesday at tampasdowntown.com. Training will start in the next few weeks.
“DASH is designed to add to the growing number of mobility options in Downtown Tampa — not replace any of them,” Karen Kress, senior director of transportation & planning for the Tampa Downtown Partnership, said in a statement. “From scooters and e-bikes to the TECO Line Streetcar and Pirate Water Taxi to HART bus service and bicycle lanes, we know that a growing urban center needs a wide range of ways to get around.
"That’s how we avoid congestion, reduce pollution, and help people enjoy everything their city has to offer.”

Wichita County names Elections Administrator
WIchita County Commissioners have appointed the county's first ever Elections Administrator.
They appointed Robin Fincannon to the post at Monday's meeting.
Robin Fincannon is the wife of Wichita County Commissioner Mickey Fincannon.
Wichita County Judge Jim Johnson said he knew the appointment of the spouse of a current county commissioner might cause some consternation, but he asked the public to keep an open mind.
Commissioner Mickey Fincannon was not present at the meeting and did not participate in the vote to hire his wife.
Previous elections have been managed by the County Clerk in addition to numerous other responsibilities that come with the office in a county the size of Wichita County. The creation of the new position comes in the wake of considerable criticism over the handling of past elections.
One group of citizens filed a complaint about elections with the Sheriff's Office. The complaints have ranged from criminal acts to sloppy paperwork.
Robin Fincannon was hired by and is accountable to a newly formed County Elections Commission. By Texas law, that commission consists of the county judge, the county clerk, the county tax appraiser-collector and the chairpersons of the county Democratic and Republican parties. The commissioners’ court retains the power to abolish the position if members decide to do so.

Warm summer days bring back memories of listening for the ice cream truck. Upon hearing the jingle, I’d grab my money and run down the block to buy a frozen treat. The toughest decision was choosing between a Creamsicle or ice cream bar. On Sundays, my parents would make ice cream and invite friends to share in the delightful concoction. Fresh peach, banana or vanilla were the typical flavors. Chocolate syrup drizzled on banana was my favorite. Summer days and ice cream go together like Ben & Jerry. Everyone I knew enjoyed dairy products, especially ice cream.
Now, a growing number of people cannot tolerate dairy or choose to omit it from their diet. The sugar content outweighs the nutritional benefits of a soup bowl full of homemade ice cream, but what about nutrients in the milk? So often we hear that cheese, yogurt, milk and whey protein are needed for optimal health. How does one get these when dairy is not part of the diet?
People are also reading…
Lactose intolerance, milk allergy/sensitivity, health conditions exacerbated by dairy, veganism or other dairy restrictive diets, digestive sensitivities from aging and distaste for milk are among reasons for skipping dairy.
Fortunately, many other foods supply the necessary nutrients found in dairy products. The primary one is calcium, necessary for strong bones and teeth, muscle function, blood clotting and more. Alternative sources of calcium include fortified plant-based milks such as almond, rice and oat; leafy greens (spinach, kale, collard greens, turnip greens, etc.); broccoli; almonds/almond butter; sesame seeds/tahini; chia seeds; canned sardines with bones; canned sockeye salmon with bones; blackstrap molasses; bok choy; cooked white beans; oranges; rhubarb; calcium-set tofu; dried figs and broccoli rabe.
Vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption, bone health, muscle function, immune system support, mental and overall health. While dairy products may be fortified with vitamin D, you can also obtain it from other sources. The primary natural source is through sun exposure, which triggers the body's natural production of vitamin D. Additionally, this nutrient is in fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), egg yolks and fortified plant-based milks. Vitamin D supplementation is often recommended by health-care professionals and can be influenced by factors such as geographic location, time of year, skin pigmentation and sunscreen use.
Protein, the building block of body tissues, helps promote muscle growth, strength and bone mass. It is essential for a healthy immune system and crucial for numerous functions in the body. Protein helps to promote feelings of fullness and satisfaction after a meal, aiding in weight management. Good sources of protein include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), nuts, seeds and quinoa.
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential nutrient that plays several crucial roles in the body including red blood cell production, nerve function, energy metabolism, heart health, cognitive function and brain health. Dairy products, especially milk, are often fortified with vitamin B12, which is found primarily in animal-based foods such as red meat, fish, poultry, eggs. Plant-based sources of vitamin B12 are limited, and vegans or individuals following strict vegetarian diets may need to get vitamin B12 through fortified foods or supplements.
Dairy products such as yogurt and milk contain potassium. Good non-dairy sources of potassium include bananas, coconut water, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, beets, watermelon, avocados, beans, legumes, spinach and tomatoes. Potassium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and proper body function.
Vitamin A, which supports vision, skin health and immune function, is found in liver, fish, eggs, orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, leafy greens and fortified foods.
Phosphorus is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in bodily functions, including bone health, energy production and DNA synthesis. Good sources are salmon, tuna, trout, sardines and shellfish such as shrimp and mussels. Meat, poultry, organ meats, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains and egg yolks also contain this mineral.
Probiotics can be beneficial for supporting gut health, and while dairy products such as yogurt are known for probiotic content, non-dairy options include fermented foods such as naturally fermented raw sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, miso and tempeh. Additionally, some non-dairy yogurts may contain probiotics.
In summary, if you do not consume dairy, many other foods offer the nutrients essential for optimal health. Enjoy a varied diet with foods you can eat. As for the ice cream truck options, you may be choosing between the dairy-free banana or root beer Popsicle.

HAMMOND — Controversy is surrounding the School City of Hammond’s new cellphone policy.
In June, the school board approved revisions to Hammond schools' student handbook for the upcoming school year. The revisions included a complete ban on cellphone use within school buildings. Students will have to turn off and put away their cellphones during school hours and will not be allowed to have them in the classrooms.
Elementary students will have their cellphones collected by their teachers, while middle school and high school students will be expected to store their phones in their lockers.
According to Superintendent Scott Miller, cellphone use was the number one complaint from teachers during the past school year, and they asked it to be addressed. And he believes students just don’t need their phones in school.
“Students are immature,” Miller told The Times. “They don’t have the self-control adults have. … So why are we equipping them with devices that just sometimes throw things in their face that they’re not able to process?”
Miller believes the new policy will provide benefits, such as putting a focus back on learning and taking out what he thinks is one of the roots of bad behavior in the schools.
The committee of teachers, principals and school district administrators that is tasked with revising the student handbook yearly told the school board in May they had looked at cellphone policies of surrounding school districts when coming up with Hammond schools’ new policy.
Surrounding school districts have some form of restrictions on cellphone use. East Chicago, Munster and Griffith school districts do not allow cellphone use at all, while Gary and Whiting school districts allow cellphone use with a teacher or administrator's approval.
Some parents have expressed approval for the new policy.
Miranda Morley is the mother of three children who attend Hammond schools. She believes the cellphone ban is a good policy since cellphones have been connected to mental health challenges, which her children have faced. “If none of the kids are allowed to have phones in school, this will encourage them to interact more with each other in a healthy way,” Morley told The Times.
But other parents disagree.
Chari Roman has a daughter at Morton High School. Her concern is the new policy will limit communication between a parent and their child in the event of an emergency. She views cellphones as a student’s only lifeline to call for help and inform their parents.
“The child should always have communication right away with their parent,” Roman said.
However, according to Miller, he has been told by school safety specialists the worst thing kids can do during a crisis situation is to be on their phones, as it could jam phone lines with the sudden influx of phone calls and texts, and it could alert an intruder of a child’s location.
Roman wishes parents would have had more input when the school district was revising the policy so they could have reached a “happy medium.”
Ultimately Miller knows that many parents disagree with the new cellphone policy and that many students will push back on it.
“I know it’s not popular with everyone, but I’m not in this role to be the most popular, I’m in this role to do what’s best [for] kids,” Miller said.

Salem to get $6 million to complete Pringle Creek Path
Salem is getting $6 million in state grant funding to help complete the Pringle Creek Path — a trail that could serve as the missing link connecting miles of biking and walking paths to Wallace Marine, Riverfront and Minto-Brown Island parks.
Paths along Pringle Creek and Mill Race already connect to Bush's Pasture Park, Salem Health, Willamette University and downtown Salem.
The new path would wind along Pringle Creek as it flows toward the Willamette River near the south end of Riverfront Park.
Public works officials said the segment west of Commercial Street is the "one missing link to connect these existing paths and parks" to Riverfront Park and from there to both the Peter Courtney Minto Island Bridge and the Union Street Pedestrian Bridge.
City officials said the project, which would start along Pringle Creek under Commercial Street SE and end at Riverfront Park near the Eco Earth, would cost about $9.5 million. The grant will cover the majority of the cost.
Plans for the path include terraced plantings, wall treatments, an overlook and a seatwall. The path could also pave the way for another future access point to the south side of Pringle Creek.
The move to create the path follows the city's efforts in 2019 to complete the Pringle Creek Daylighting and Restoration Project between Commercial Street and the rail line. The project's removal of the concrete slab from the former Boise Cascade building and restoration of the creek set the stage for connecting the existing trail along Pringle Creek to Riverfront Park.
Salem also getting planning funds for pedestrian path over Highway 22
The city also is receiving $269,190 to develop a refinement plan to create a pedestrian path over Highway 22 in east Salem. The path would connect Bill Riegel Park to the neighborhood near Miller Elementary School.
Those living near the proposed bridge, which would arch over the highway between Cordon Road and Lancaster Drive, say it is vital for having a safe, equitable and connected neighborhood.
Thousands live in the neighborhood surrounding the proposed bridge, many in lower-income households.
Students living in this area south of the highway attend Miller Elementary School and Houck Middle School north of the highway. The entire area is classified by the school district as a "Hazard Walk Zone," meaning students require busing to school, city staff said in a report.
The grant will help fund project refinement costs necessary to determine the alignment and prospective location of the overpass, city officials said.
Oregon's Community Paths Program
In January, Salem City Council voted to submit requests for $300,000 for project refinement costs for the pedestrian bridge over Highway 22 and $6 million for the construction of the Pringle Creek Path through the Oregon Department of Transportation's Community Paths Program.
The grant program by ODOT funds investments in "off-system" biking and walking projects, meaning the paths are not primarily on or along a roadway.
ODOT's Paths Program is giving $36.9 million in grants this year to support investments like the bridge and Pringle Creek Path.
The program requires cities to match 10.27% of the project total. The required match of $30,810 for the Highway 22 bridge project will come from the city's share of the state gas tax. The remainder of the project costs for the Pringle path, an estimated $3.5 million, will come from funding from the infrastructure bond passed by Salem voters in November and include possible funding from the Urban Renewal Agency.

Oregon fines BP $205,800 for double-counting renewable fuel volumes
Oregon environmental regulators said BP Products North America has paid a $205,800 fine for inaccurately reporting renewable fuel volumes to the Oregon Clean Fuels Program, generating 11,821 illegitimate credits.
BP impermissibly double-counted the same volumes of imported renewable fuel to both Oregon and California, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality said in its penalty order. It also failed to report fuel that was exported out of Oregon by barge.
DEQ also cited BP, without a financial penalty, for additional reporting violations under the Clean Fuels Program and Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.
“DEQ issued this penalty because inaccurate reporting undermines the integrity of the Oregon Clean Fuels Program, a signature component of Oregon’s efforts to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector,” the state wrote in the order.
The Clean Fuels Program, which has been in place since 2016, provides incentives to companies that develop transportation fuels with lower carbon intensity, such as electricity or biofuels. The incentives come in the form of credits that can be sold to other companies as a way to comply with state rules requiring reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s not the first time DEQ has fined a company for violating the program’s rules.
In September 2022, DEQ issued a $2.7 million fine, the largest in its history, to a Lincoln City electric vehicle charging company it said sold fraudulent credits through the Clean Fuels Program.
Thompson Technical Services, which went by TTS Charging, illegitimately claimed 16,089 Clean Fuel Program credits for operating three electric vehicle charging stations in Sheridan, the department said.
At the time the company claimed and sold the credits, the three charging stations had not been installed and had not dispensed any electricity to vehicles.
TTS Charging then sold most of those credits to Elbow River Marketing for nearly $1.8 million.
DEQ issues 18 fines in June
The BP Products fine was among 18 fines DEQ issued in June, totaling $632,056.
Other violations included a Portland food processor that discharged hummus and bleach to the Columbia Slough; a McMinnville steel mill that failed to install air pollution control equipment; and a city that discharged raw sewage to the Willamette River.
Recipients can appeal their fines by requesting a hearing within 20 calendar days of receiving their penalty letter. DEQ sometimes reduces or eliminates fines after appeals.
Recipients also may be able to resolve part of their fines by sponsoring an environmental improvement project instead of paying a penalty.
These are the other citations:
Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, McMinnville, $181,604: For failing to implement its pollution prevention plan; for repeatedly omitting from its permit applications fluoride and hydrogen fluoride emissions associated with the use of fluoride-containing flux in the mill’s steel-making process; and for failing to submit motor vehicle scrap provider information requested by DEQ. The company is appealing the penalty.
Anodex Finishing, Medford, $122,961: For illegally treating and storing large quantities of toxic and corrosive hazardous waste at its facility without a permit. DEQ also ordered the company to complete hazardous waste determinations, label tanks and containers of hazardous waste, properly dispose of hazardous waste at the facility, provide hazardous waste training to staff and submit annual hazardous waste generator reports to DEQ. The company did not appeal the penalty but has not paid it. DEQ has sent it a notice of default.
Oregon Harvest, dba Lilly’s Hummus, Portland, $28,752: For discharging bleach and waste, containing food particles, from its food processing facility into the Columbia Slough, and placing waste where it was likely to be carried into the slough.
Justin Willett, Hillsboro, $13,558: For failing to implement erosion and sediment control plan at adjacent home construction sites at 221 and 235 NE Evergreen Road in Hillsboro.
Warren Scott Hunter and Judith DeBrey, Cloverdale, $10,509: For storing waste tires and solid waste without a permit, despite DEQ’s warning letter in 2019 and pre-enforcement notice in 2022.
Burnside Auto Wrecking, Portland, $9,792: For storing waste tires without a permit. DEQ also ordered the company to either apply for a permit or dispose of the tires.
St. Charles Medical Center Bend, $8,993: For underground fuel storage tank violations, including failing to initially test spill prevention and overfill prevention equipment, failing to have adequate release detection on tanks for emergency generators, failing to conduct annual line tightness testing and failing to keep fuel release detection records.
City of Hood River, $8,800: For discharging raw sewage to Indian Creek.
City of Coquille, $8,044: For discharging more pollution than allowed by its wastewater permit and failing to conduct required monitoring.
Fujimi Corporation, Wilsonville, $7,600: For exceeding permitted levels of aluminum in its wastewater, which is discharged to channelized portions of an unnamed tributary of Coffee Lake Creek, which flows to the Willamette River.
Duckwall-Pooley Fruit Co., Hood River, $6,800: For failing to conduct all required monitoring of wastewater discharges from the Van Horn Cold Storage Facility.
Home Depot U.S.A., Bend and Portland, $6,218: For failing to submit required annual reports for its stormwater underground injection control system.
City of Estacada, $4,825: For discharging more pollution than allowed by its wastewater permit.
City of Albany, $3,900: For repeatedly exceeding permitted limits of E. coli bacteria and total suspended solids in effluent discharged from its sewage treatment system to the Willamette River, for discharging raw sewage into the river, and for failing to conduct required monitoring.
Coastal Housing Solutions, Garibaldi, $3,000: For failing to implement an erosion and sediment control plan at construction site.

FORT DAVIS, Texas — Right next to the visitor’s center at the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center in Fort Davis, people will find an exhibit dedicated to the mining history of the Chihuahuan Desert.
This exhibit exists because of Korean War veteran and former mining geologist, Joe Mussey and his friends.
Though he hasn’t been involved in mining for decades now, his passion for it never went away.
“Well it was just so great, the people I worked with and the places that I worked during my career was just great and I loved every minute of it,” Mussey said.
When the Nature Center was still in its early days and they were still trying to come up with some more exhibits, Mussey approached them with the idea for the mining exhibit.
“It got started whenever we saw that they needed something out here that had to do with the Chihuahuan Desert,” Mussey said.
But his involvement with the exhibit didn’t stop after its construction.
He and his wife used to give presentations about mining history to kids who would visit the nature center either with their families or during field trips.
It was during these presentations in fact that he got his famous nickname Miner Joe.
“Well the kiddies called me that," Mussey said. "They would say, ‘We want to see Miner Joe!’ So we just stuck with it. That’s my name out here now, Miner Joe.”
Despite being 93 now, Mussey still makes his way out to the Nature Center with his wife every other week to maintain the exhibit.
He says that age hasn’t stopped him from doing what he loves, which is helping to teach people about the history of mining and geology.
“It really makes me feel good that I’ve done something with my life that I can enjoy and other people can enjoy… This is my passion,” Mussey said.
Mussey also appeared in the 2007 movie "There will be Blood". He loaned some of his collection of old mining equipment to be used in the film and even got to share a scene with actor Daniel Day Lewis in the film as well.

SAN DIEGO — The "Barbie" premiere has painted the world hot pink.
From high heels, to glasses, pink blouses and pants to match, movie theaters have transformed into a Barbie world.
The movie has motivated thousands of people nationwide to dress up for the occasion. Some people are digging into their closet and even wearing their old quince gowns to the theater, adding a little touch of Latino culture to the pink craze.
Viral TikTok videos have made headlines of girls recording the moment they walk into theaters with their quinceañera dresses.
Aly Jurewicz is one of those people, she posted this video showing off her pink sparkly quinceañera dress.
“I just had to wear it. I was really debating on whether or not I should go out while wearing it. You know a lot of people are going to be looking at you,” she said.
Watching Barbie as an adult sent childhood memories flooding back for some, reminding them too that Barbies come in all shapes and colors.
“Even though I'm 65 I'm a child at heart and I've always loved Barbies,” said Debby Valentine who was decked out in pink.
It has become a fashion statement for Aly and other women wearing quinceañera dresses.
“It's really nice to be able to spread my culture and expose it to people who might not know,” said Aly.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — The Hoffman family is busy getting their kids ready to head back to school. Their kids rush around the living room, climbing up on the sofa and showing off their new backpacks and supplies.
“I tell people it’s organized chaos,” said Haylee Hoffman who is mom to 12 kids.
Corey Hoffman is the dad and his smile says he wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
“It’s enjoyable though,” he said. “I would never change it for the world.”
The couple said they never imagined parenting 12, but when the opportunity came, they embraced it.
"In all honestly, with our oldest, it was jump in both feet and not know we were getting into,” shared Haylee.
A coworker of Haylee’s asked if her daughter could stay a weekend with them, and she ended up staying for good. This lead Haylee and Corey down the road of fostering and then adoption.
The ups and downs can be challenging, emotional, and so rewarding they share.
"We've had up to about 70 children that have come and gone,” said Haylee.
A key for them to creating their special family was to make sure siblings could stay together in one home.
“We just felt they needed to stay together to help them keep some of those bonds they already created,” said Haylee.
They would encourage anyone interested to foster or adopt to look at your options and get involved because the need is growing.
“There’s a bunch of teenagers out there that need families to help let them see what life can be outside of the system,” said Haylee.
Arizona Department of Child safety estimates the need for foster families will continue to grow. They believe to up with demand they will need to increase and license approximately 1,400-1,500 new families over the next 12 months across the state.
They said this takes into account that some foster homes are closing due to adoption.

As Arizona builds to solve a housing crisis, will its homes withstand future heat extremes?
Arizona sits on the frontlines of both a housing and a climate crisis. Is it building to prepare for a hotter, drier, more populous future?
Warm and steady, Arizona is famous for its climate.
Here, blazing blue skies, statuesque saguaros and temperatures that much of the year feel like the embrace of a heated blanket combine with business-friendly politics, swanky golf destinations and the second-most popular U.S. national park to fuel a blistering population growth rate of 13% since 2010. The state boasts four of the top 10 sunniest cities in America and five of its fastest-growing. Many of the 1 million new residents hail it all as a cause for celebration.
But the state’s popularity isn’t all that is blistering. In summer, that blanket’s embrace tightens amid temperatures that can exceed 120 degrees. Increasingly, new and longtime residents find themselves woefully unprepared.
As home to America’s hottest big city, many of its highest temperature records and a July 2023 heat wave that made international headlines — leading some to question when Phoenix will become unlivable — the Grand Canyon State is on the domestic frontlines of the climate crisis.
With a shortage of 270,000 housing units according to the latest estimate from the Arizona Department of Housing, it is also a front-runner in the nationwide housing crisis.
Combined, these two crises are lethal. In 2022, 425 people died from heat-related illness in Maricopa County, the state’s most populous central area. An estimated 42% of them were unhoused, some newly so, forced by rising rents and competition for shelter to endure summer temperatures that often fail to drop below 90 degrees at night. Others, many of them poor or elderly, succumb to heat each year while inside homes with insufficient cooling.
Solutions to these dual crises exist but are typically considered separately. The officials designing shade structures and community heat relief programs are not often in the same rooms as those signing deals for new residential developments.
Geography is also a concern. While construction sprawls across metro Phoenix, housing projects are lacking in some outlying parts of Arizona with the greatest vulnerability. In Yuma near the border with Mexico, many farmworkers labor outdoors in extreme heat only to return to cramped mobile homes that offer little refuge. At the opposite corner of the state, the Navajo Nation was hit hard by COVID-19 in part because of overcrowded housing, yet residents face difficulty obtaining permits to build.
After 32 years of law enforcement and social work for the tribe in Tuba City, Dorothy Deal retired five years ago and came home to the plot of land on the Navajo Nation where her parents raised her and her siblings.
“I always wanted to come home,” Deal said. “We went away for jobs and schools but I always wanted to come back.”
For now, she lives in a traditional hogan — a small, round, one-room structure made of wood and packed mud — and spends her days tending her 16 sheep, including two males named Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg. She has electricity but no running water, so she hauls water for herself and the animals from a nearby filling station.
She’s been trying for years to line up the permits and survey work to build a more comfortable home nearby, ideally with an indoor bathroom, where she thinks her sons and grandchildren would be more likely to visit her. While she waits, she volunteers with a local Community Land Use and Planning Committee to help facilitate progress.
“Right now we know that housing is a big, huge need,” she said. “There’s no new houses. But the original homes are no longer there. It’s tough living out here.”
Specific housing needs vary across the state. But as the temperature dial cranks up, the threats are shared.
How, what and where Arizona chooses to build right now will lock in its degree of vulnerability to a warming, drying world. The average lifespan of a new home — there were 82,000 in the Phoenix area over the last three years — is 70 to 100 years. During that time, scientists expect average annual temperatures in the Southwest to increase by 3.5-9.5 degrees Fahrenheit and heat waves to become more frequent and extreme.
Each extra day of extreme heat in a month could result in an estimated seven additional deaths for every 10 million people nationwide, research has found. A majority of those who suffer that fate will be members of underserved groups including Indigenous, Hispanic, low income, elderly and the unhoused.
Many will be Arizonans.
A state at a crossroads
In 2023, Arizona is in the midst of constructing its climate future. Facing broken heat records and a homeless population that has increased 72% in some areas since 2017, the state stands at a crossroads: Build fast to solve the housing crisis or build smart to address the climate crisis.
Obstacles abound. Water shortages on the Colorado River, exacerbated by climate change, have prompted cuts to Arizona’s allocation that are sparking renewed concerns about the longevity of local supplies. In June, Gov. Katie Hobbs announced that the state’s water agency will stop approving new development that relies solely on groundwater in outlying parts of metro Phoenix.
But there are also opportunities, many already in blueprints and hardware stores, to build in ways that require less water, less energy, less land disturbance and that generate less heat. In their latest report on climate change mitigation opportunities, the scientist members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change named urban development as one of the areas of greatest potential for climate course correction.
Some of those solutions are being devised by the state’s own researchers. Arizona State University is an internationally recognized hub of innovation in sustainable development. The state has an active chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council and some climate-friendly housing projects that are held up as examples elsewhere in the country.
But this knowledge doesn’t always make it into local building design and construction practices. When it does, it’s at a trickle, with environmentally minded developers opting to take on small sustainability projects for niche markets in wealthy areas, those least likely to be exposed to the climate impacts of poorly constructed buildings. It takes decades to shift the status quo — time that Arizona cannot afford.
Building sustainably doesn’t necessarily take longer once the project is approved, said Solange Whitehead, a Scottsdale City Councilmember who spent three years pushing to include green mandates in Scottsdale’s building code, which has become one of the most progressive in the nation. But it takes a long time, a lot of meetings and sometimes new legislation to upend conventional expectations.
“There’s a lot of inertia in the way we approach (development) in cities," said Diane Pataki, a professor at Arizona State University who studies the role of nature and green space in urban sustainability. "We know there are better ways, but we still tend to do the same things, build buildings and plant trees in the same way. That whole approach needs to change."
Set in stone: Taking the temperature of Arizona’s existing housing stock
To determine what stones Arizona has already set in place and what changes are needed, The Arizona Republic, with support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Environmental Solutions Initiative, spent months digging into the status of housing construction in Arizona and investigating what kind of climate future the state is building and for whom.
First, the climate positives. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Arizona added more than 270,000 housing units between 2010 and 2020. Combined with the 711,000 units built over the prior decade before the recession, that means 32% of homes in this relatively young state were built after 2000.
Nationwide, the median home build year is 1979. Since homes in Arizona are, on average, 12 years younger, their construction has benefitted from the expanded availability of amenities like home solar panels as well as updates to standards set by the International Code Council. Released every three years, each new version of these building codes typically improves on sustainability considerations such as water and energy efficiency.
But adoption of these updates has been spotty. Arizona is one of a minority of states that does not have a statewide building code. Requirements are instead left up to local jurisdictions.
The Republic, with support from the MIT ESI, conducted an independent review of building codes, procuring and reading documents from 40 key Arizona municipalities and scoring them based on various sustainability measures to attain a rough metric reflecting the statewide status of climate-friendly residential construction.
Results show that only five of 40 cities require builders to follow the latest 2021 International Code Council standards, while 28 more adhere to the 2018 version. The rest are further behind, with the community of Kayenta on the Navajo Nation as well as the Maricopa County town of Gila Bend still operating according to 2006 ICC standards, though both indicate they are working to update their codes.
Cities that don’t require efficiency in their codes still benefit from improvements in appliances and materials over time, automatically baking progress into newer construction. But with temperatures rising and reservoirs dropping ever faster, the climate suitability of Arizona’s homes is falling behind.
Sheltering in place: Homes as havens from the heat
As heat waves grow more deadly, resilience of the spaces where Arizonans take shelter becomes critical.
“The story of insulation is the story of energy codes,” said Curt Rich, president and CEO of the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association. “The only reason why builders put insulation in a home is because energy codes require them to. Prior to 1980, there were no energy codes. So most homes in the United States don't have any insulation at all and most existing homes in Arizona are going to be under-insulated.”
Recognizing the need for home improvements to protect against intensifying heat, the Arizona Department of Housing appealed to the federal government in early 2023 and secured $47.5 million for home weatherization assistance. The program will install insulation, seal leaks and improve home energy efficiency for an estimated 3,400 low-income applicants.
One recipient of these services, 72-year-old Shirley Moore, was struggling to balance the cost of her prescriptions against utility bills that could run $200 per month during summer in her 1938 Coolidge home. Upgrades to her home’s insulation and vents finally enabled her and her 13-year-old shih tzu, SugarBabe, to relax at a comfortable indoor temperature without skimping on her medication.
But for every Shirley Moore who gets an insulation upgrade, there are many more elderly Arizonans and low-income families still sweating it out in homes ill-equipped for modern heat extremes. Caryn Potter, the local representative for the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, said that the need for home retrofits in Arizona extends far beyond what this funding will cover.
“A huge part of energy efficiency work is home performance,” Potter said. “Every time a city adopts a new code, they’re getting some energy efficiency. But also, weatherization has had a huge impact in terms of our response to dealing with climate change and doing that in a way that’s cost effective.”
About 6% of the electricity produced in the U.S. — most of which is from fossil fuels that contribute to global warming — goes to power air conditioners, according to the Department of Energy. As they work to cool, air conditioners also warm the atmosphere by releasing refrigerants and other chemicals known to be powerful greenhouse gases. At the same time, AC units contribute directly to urban heat by dumping hot air out into neighborhoods, which one study in Arizona found warmed surroundings by nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
The risk that increasing energy demand for space cooling could trigger dangerous power outages on hot days is a real concern of the International Energy Agency that is already playing out in Arizona: Thousands of residents in both Mesa and Chandler lost power during a July 2023 heat wave. A recent study estimated that a blackout lasting five days in AC-dependent Phoenix could kill more than 13,000 people.
Expanding renewable energy infrastructure could save lives and fight global warming, studies suggest, by serving as a cleaner and backup source of power for AC units on hot days.
But while opportunities in green energy development have expanded, experts say the state is still a long way from being on track with rooftop solar. Renewables make up only 14% of in-state energy generation compared to a nationwide average of 25%, despite the U.S. Energy Information Administration ranking Arizona second in solar energy potential. Solar advocates blame Arizona's investor-owned electric utility companies for politically blocking renewable energy projects and for charging fees for rooftop solar that cut into homeowner incentives.
“We in Arizona are behind most of our neighboring states when it comes to renewable energy standards,” said Troy Rule, a professor of law at ASU who specializes in renewable energy policy. “If you ask voters whether they support renewables, generally there’s pretty high support for that, but we haven’t seen that play out in our policies. So that's a sign that our system’s not working very well.”
What kind of future are we building?
Building homes in 2023 that come stock with rooftop solar and electric vehicle charging options, that feature the latest in insulation and energy efficiency, and that house more people while minimizing warming would help avert future headaches over expensive retrofits and natural disaster resilience.
But to what extent is Arizona doing that?
Between 2010 and 2020, Queen Creek in Maricopa County gained 11,000 homes, expanding its housing availability by 129%. But it did so largely in a way that the Arizona governor deemed unsustainable in her June announcement of a building moratorium based on water concerns. Buckeye, the other municipality directly affected by Hobbs’ order, grew by 12,600 units — mostly single-family homes — between 2010 and 2020, a 69% increase.
The Republic’s analysis of building codes indicates that Queen Creek and Buckeye have adopted some of the most climate-aware home construction requirements in the state. Queen Creek has approved additional safeguards against wildfire risk and Buckeye’s code considers wildlife corridors, sustainable materials and native vegetation. Scottsdale, which grew 10% by more than 12,000 units between 2010 and 2020, now requires electric vehicle infrastructure in its green building code.
But if Queen Creek and Buckeye don’t have reliable sources of water to continue apace, it matters little how sustainable their building codes are. And Scottsdale, according to Solange Whitehead, is nearly built out.
When considering the dual climate and housing crises, solutions lie not only in how developers build but also in where and what they build. Multifamily units, such as duplexes and apartment buildings, that are near employment centers are some of the best options to get more people housed with lower environmental impact, experts say. Unlike single-family detached homes, which result in up to 15 times the greenhouse gas emissions according to a 2020 study, multifamily housing saves resources by sharing yards, roofs, external walls, air conditioning and utility infrastructure. The 2022 United Nations Emissions Gap Report considers minimizing unnecessary floor space per person a promising climate solution.
Yet multifamily development frequently faces opposition from those in power. ASU politics professor and housing expert Paul Lewis studies how wealthy residents contribute to regional housing problems.
Lewis says “NIMBY” or “Not in My Backyard” efforts to block construction of apartments and other multifamily units frequently exclude lower-income residents from safe neighborhoods with good schools and reasonable commutes to work. As a result, struggling families can end up homeless, in inadequate structures or forced to drive farther for employment and basic needs, contributing to transportation emissions in a direct crossover between the housing and climate crises.
In Arizona, a land of many well-off retirees, golfers and snowbirds, NIMBY obstructions to affordable, multifamily developments are aplenty. Last year, residents of Surprise, a Phoenix suburb with many upscale retirement homes, sued their city over a proposal to add 600 units for low-income individuals, families and seniors.
Earlier this year, in what reporting by The Republic called “one of the most controversial issues that the city has seen in recent memory,” residents of Chandler, south of Phoenix, protested an affordable housing project that would add 500 units. And as of late 2021, fast-growing Buckeye hadn’t built a single multifamily unit in a decade despite attempts to locate affordable housing projects there.
“Building greater densities around meaningful nodes where people can transact and do some of the things they need to do in their daily rounds, shopping and working, etc., that seems to be more sustainable,” Lewis said.
“The question for Phoenix now that it has become a more mature area is, ‘Can we turn our attention back inward to not only the type of development but the quality of life and public services in the parts of the metropolis that were built up decades ago, for example, around light rail stations?’”
Zoning regulations have also been an obstacle to building denser, more sustainable housing, since some cities designate land specifically for single-family homes in processes that can be time-consuming and hard to change.
David Hovey Jr., an architect and sustainable housing developer with Optima, which has projects across the Phoenix area, said that height restrictions for buildings — like those introduced in 2021 in Scottsdale — force housing to sprawl and take up open space. Paving over more land than necessary raises temperatures in what is known as the urban heat island effect.
In the 2022 legislative session, state Sen. Steve Kaiser, R-Phoenix, introduced a bill aimed at loosening rezoning processes to help open up more land for development and address the housing crisis. It was amended to designate a “housing supply study committee” instead.
In 2023, he tried to address zoning again with a similar bill. But after opposition from municipalities and neighborhood advocates, state lawmakers rejected it in favor of leaving final zoning decisions up to cities. Kaiser resigned from the Legislature in June, citing family reasons.
To estimate the effects of such restrictions on building in the state, The Republic reviewed the latest census data and found that Arizona lags behind nationwide percentages in every type of housing unit that is more sustainable to build and power, from duplexes (1% of units in Arizona versus 4% nationwide) to apartment complexes with 20 or more units (8% in Arizona versus 10% nationwide).
Arizona exceeds national averages in only two housing categories: less sustainable single-family detached homes (64% of units in Arizona versus 61% nationwide) and mobile homes, the type of shelter least equipped to handle extreme heat (10% in Arizona versus 6% nationwide).
Maricopa County has recently started building more multifamily structures, despite NIMBY objections. The Maricopa Association of Governments reported nearly 3,000 more apartment units were completed in 2022 than in previous years.
But sprawl still dominates Arizona’s construction landscape.
The Republic analyzed changes in the prevalence of each county’s housing types between 2011 and 2021 using census estimates (which can differ from local numbers). Despite Phoenix’s apartment frenzy, Maricopa County still added three times more single-family detached homes than housing units in larger, multifamily complexes over the last decade.
In other parts of Arizona, the contrast is more stark. Across Pima County, where Tucson is located, the number of single-family detached homes increased sixfold over more affordable, sustainable units. Coconino County, home to Flagstaff, added 17 times more single-family detached homes than apartment-style units. And Pinal County, an agricultural neighbor of Maricopa County, grew by 17,000 single-family detached homes but only 300 units in larger complexes.
Rural counties are less obvious locations for apartments than vacant lots in Phoenix, and each region must determine its own best development solutions.
But while Phoenix increased its housing availability by, on average, 11 new units per day over the last 10 years, data from other areas of the state show high demand but ineffective growth. In the Yuma County farm worker community of San Luis, which has seen negligible multifamily development, the average number of people per housing unit is 4.4, indicating persistent demand for more housing, faster.
The inequity of where growth is happening, and where it is not
At the state’s sweltering border near Mexico and California, where 100-plus-degree temperatures start an average of 12 days earlier than in Phoenix each spring and last five days later into fall, sun-faded mobile homes dot the desert landscape. These units make up 30% of housing in Yuma County and 55% in nearby La Paz County along the route between Phoenix and Los Angeles.
With less insulation and often lower air conditioning capacity, mobile homes can be dangerous places to weather summers anywhere, let alone in some of the nation’s hottest spots.
“Thirty percent of heat-associated deaths do occur indoors, which is crazy. That should be zero,” said Patricia Solis, executive director of the Knowledge Exchange for Resilience at ASU and a researcher of mobile home geography. “Among those, a third of them are in trailers. And that's not a third of our (statewide) housing. Year to year, you can see a huge difference. That just wakes you up. We have to think about how we provide shelter.”
Maria Rosa Vega Murillo works long days as a farmworker in Yuma County, thinning and weeding lettuce crops for $13.50 an hour. Her bus departs San Luis at 5:15 a.m. for the two-hour drive to the fields in Tacna. When she leaves her mobile home for the day, she turns her window air conditioning unit off to save on electricity costs. Her windows are also covered with reflective material to reduce the solar heat coming in.
Sometimes, when she returns, she has to ease into the indoor heat. She sits under an outdoor awning and waits until the sun goes down to take a cold shower. Then she heads to bed around 8 p.m. so she can do it all again the next day.
“You arrive tired,” Murillo said. “You arrive frustrated because of the fast-paced, difficult work and then you’re trying to recover. It takes time.”
And she’s one of the lucky ones. Long lines of Mexican farmworkers queue up daily to cross the border into what is known as America’s winter salad bowl due to its production of leafy greens.
Jose Flores, a community organizer in the Yuma area with the United Farm Workers Foundation, said many of these workers would prefer to cut the commute and live stateside. But despite requirements that employers provide lodging for farmworkers on H2A visas, adequate shelter is scarce. The development that is happening doesn’t match the need or conditions.
According to the state housing agency, of 806 state-subsidized affordable units completed in 2022, zero were located in Yuma County. Instead, a comparison of the American Community Survey 5-year census estimates from 2011 and 2021 show that, in the decade prior, the Yuma metro area added 4,490 single-family detached homes and 1,082 mobile homes. The data suggest a loss of housing stock in every type of more sustainable, heat-resistant structure.
Jennifer Albers, Yuma's assistant director of planning, said a shift in the time of year when census records were collected during the pandemic may have resulted in an undercount in recent estimates of units that house transient farmworkers or snowbirds. But she confirmed that Yuma has struggled to build new multifamily housing, with just 475 units in mid-sized multifamily structures permitted since 2011.
In the opposite corner of the state, residents of 15,000 households on the Hopi and Navajo reservations live in housing that does not have electricity. About a third of those also lack running water.
Still, there’s a shortage of even these types of shelters. In 2021, the Navajo Nation Department of Water Resources estimated that 19,000 homes on the reservation were overcrowded.
Mary Francis is interim executive director with the nonprofit community organization Yee Ha’ólníi Doo, or Navajo Hopi Solidarity, which provides COVID relief and hopes to soon help with home renovation services. During the pandemic, she fielded calls from Native families in need of more space to quarantine when someone contracted the virus.
“In one household in the Fort Defiance agency area, there was a family of 10 that was in a one-bedroom home,” Francis said. “We offered families the option to receive a tent. Of course, that was ideal for the spring or the fall when the weather’s not extreme. There were times when other agencies helped with a hotel stay.”
Francis, a citizen of the Navajo Nation, grew up living part time in a travel trailer. She said her parents, hospitality workers in Page, had trouble securing a home site lease and the funds to build near her grandparents in the Coppermine Chapter area south of Page. Once the paperwork finally went through, they built a shelter on the lot only to have it taken out by a tornado.
Eventually, sick of the crowded conditions, Francis asked her parents if she and her sister could enroll in a federally funded boarding school in Tuba City. The family split, her parents staying with their younger two children near their jobs in Page, 80 miles away.
This is the story of many divided families on the Navajo Nation, which has seen hardly any housing development in the past 40 years. That is, in part, due to a federal building moratorium referred to as the Bennett Freeze, which halted development on 1.5 million acres of Navajo lands in 1966 pending the outcome of a land dispute between the Navajo and Hopi tribes.
The freeze was lifted in 2009, but housing development since has progressed at a crawl. According to the dozen Navajo Nation members interviewed for these stories, the obstacles now are limited family resources, difficult-to-obtain home site leases and slow procedural responses by the Navajo Nation. In 2021, the tribe received nearly $2 billion in economic relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act but is struggling to disburse it amid what Council Delegate Carl Slater estimates are 2,000 government job vacancies.
Dorothy Deal's brother Percy Deal is a Navajo Nation elder who shares frustrations over stagnant housing and job development on the reservation and has organized to help connect more homes to water. That effort has stalled, in part, because of a lack of local expertise to complete the survey work.
He knows many young tribal members who go away to pursue an education with the intention of coming back to help their people. Both his son and nephew, Dorothy's son, are engineers who considered moving back home. But in a chicken-egg scenario, a lack of existing housing can dissuade willing workers from moving back to help build housing.
Instead, Deal now holds down his family's plot on Black Mesa by himself, hauling water to his home for washing and drinking in 55-gallon drums every few weeks. At the end of each month, he drives five hours one way to visit his son, daughter, wife and grandchildren in the place where they were able to find jobs and adequate housing, amid the breakneck growth of the Phoenix metropolis.
