Cgex CSX repairs cause gridlock in Gibsonton, trapping drivers in their own neighborhoods PALM HARBOR, Fla. 鈥?Lee I elpi retired after 26 years with the New York City Fire Department. I would love to fight one more fire. Lees oldest son, Jonathan, followed in his footsteps but was killed on September 11, 2001.His firehouse lost all 19 men that day. Nobody went home, Lee said.Lee spoke at Palm Harbors remembrance ceremony last year and stressed the need to educate children about 9/11.State Representative Adam Anderson said it was those words that inspired him to push for a law requiring a September 11 lesson be taught on this day every year.Now, 9/11 Heros Day is a Florida law.All middle and high school students will have at least 45 minutes of curriculum about September 11.Ielpi told me he likes to think his son chose him to make it his mission to educate others. Its because of him that Im here. Its because of him that we speak about education. Its about him being able for me to speak about it last year and the state of Florida taking action, which is monumental for the state of Florida, said Ielpi.Not every teacher waited for this law to pass to talk about September 11.Westlake Christian School media specialist Sara Yarrow said the attacks happened on her second day as a student teacher. So since then, Ive been attempting to explain the unexplainable and to give children and parents a stepping stone to talking about a situation that is very difficult to explain, said Yarrow.Many childr en born long after September 11 understand the lessons.Maggie Leone won a con Gqsa Hillsborough County deputies investigating ATM explosion in Valrico Former President Jimmy Carter suggested Friday that a full investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election would show that Donald Trump didn t win the presidency. There s no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election. And I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show that Trump didn t actually win the election in 2016. He lost the e lection and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf, Carter said at the Carter Center s retreat in Leesburg, Virginia.Asked if he believes Trump is an illegitimate president, Carter paused for a moment. Based on what I just said, which I can t retract, Carter said to audience laughter. Special counsel Robert Mueller s report found that Russia waged a sweeping and systematic influence campaign during the 2016 election with the goal of electing Trump, but did not establish a conspiracy bet ween Trump s campaign and Moscow.Until now, the former one-term Democratic president had shared a warmer relationship with the current President more than Trump has had with any other living president.Though he has been critical of Trump s foreign policy and accused him of deepening racial divisions , Carter has also shown a willingness to help Trump.He took a phone call from Trump in April

Piez Several Michigan residents believed to be among missionaries kidnapped in Haiti Are you getting tired of political calls and texts You re not alone.Midterm elections are fast approaching, and scammers are only adding to the amount of political messaging coming your way.So it is tougher than ever to tell if that appeal is real, or fraudulent.Calls, texts hitting cell phones dailyChristopher Wood says he is receivi ng political calls and texts almost daily. I have been receiving at least one text per day, he said. I ve even gotten a couple of robocalls. Many times they even know his name, which makes it a bit scary. It kind of interjects into your daily life, he said. You got to stop what you are doing and see what it is, and maybe its a number you dont recognize. Mackenzie Cabela never knows if the calls are legitimate or not. When its not a call I was expecting, or someone I was talking to that day, she said, it just disrupts the workflow. Whether you vote red, blue, or just want election season to be over, scammers are targeting you, hoping a hot-button issue will be enough to get you to answer or click. Mechele Agbayani Mills with the Better Business Bureau says it s tempting to donate to a cause or candidate you re passionate about.But make sure the requests are legitimate. When emotions run high you can count on bad players to take advantage of that emotional energy and trick people into making impulsive decisions, she said.How to protect yourselfShe sugg ests you inspect campaign websites carefully to make sure they are real and not spoofed si Fnem Pasco County man sues Tiger Woods and caddie, claims he was pushed 2 years ago at tournament A lot of things are changing for schools this year. Some classes may be online and some may be partially on campus. Regardless of where they re taking place, teachers are still spending money on supplies.According to a survey by AdoptAClassroom.org, many teachers have spent about a third of their school supply expenses on distance learning materials. They re actually spending more, said Ann Pifer, Executive Director at AdoptAClassroom. 70% of the teachers we surveyed said that they have delivered supplies to students homes, either by bringing them personally or by mailing assignments with supplies. Nearly every three out of four teachers have spent money on printers, ink and paper to make work packets for students who may not have access to computers and internet.Nearly half have spent money on postage and mailing supplies, so they can send learning materials to students.Even in schools where classes are being held in person, AdoptAClassroom still expects teachers to spend more money on supplies. In a normal elementary classroom, there s a basket of pens and papers and crayons and scissors on a table, said Pifer. And groups of students share those supplies to do projects. They re not going to be able to do that this year. Through AdoptAClassroom.or g, people can donate to teachers and those educators can use that money to spend in an online marketplace.

Gnsp This Morning from CBS News, Nov. 18, 2015 Google co-founder Larry Page has gained New Zealand residency, officials confirmed Friday, stoking debate over whether extremely wealthy people can essentially buy access to the South Pacific country.Immigration New Zealand said Page first applied for residency in November under a special visa open to people with at least 10 million New Zealand dollars $7 million to invest. As he was offshore at th e time, his application was not able to b e processed because of COVID-19 restrictions, the agency said in a statement. Once Mr. Page entered New Zealand, his application was able to be processed and it was approved on 4 February 2021. Gaining New Zealand residency would not necessarily affect Page s residency status in the U.S. or any other nations.New Zealand lawmakers confirmed that Page and his son first arrived in New Zealand in January after the family filed an urgent application for the son to be evacuated from Fiji due to a medical emergency. Billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel won New Zealand citizenship in 2011 despite never having lived in the country after a lawmaker decided his entrepreneurial skills and philanthropy were valuable to the nation.Entry during coronavirus The day after the application was received, a New Zealand air ambulance staffed by a New Zealand ICU nurse-escort medevaced the child and an adult family member from Fiji to New Zealand, Health Minister Andrew Little told lawmakers in Parliament.Little Wqmu NYC mayoral candidate Eric Adams set to meet with President Biden on Monday ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- Police on Saturday recanvassed an eastern Pennsylvania neighbo rhood where a 5-year-old boy with autism wandered away from a New Year s Eve party without shoes or a coat.Allentown police Capt. Glen Dorney said 20 search-and-rescue dog teams were lo oking for Jayliel Vega Batista.The boy was downstairs playing with a toy with some other children when he left the home at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, said his 16-year-old sister, Tayritza Molina. The boy was visiting his great-aunt s home for the holiday, and left barefoot and without any kind of outerwear, police said. Police were going door to door in the boy s neighborhood again on Saturday because efforts to track him into some nearby woods were unsuccessful. But they said a glut of volunteer searchers was complicating efforts to find the boy. We re proud of them for stepping up in the force that they ve done, Dorney said, but there were so many volunteers in the woods and elsewhere, it was compromising the ability of the dogs and others to locate the boy. Instead, police asked people wh o live in the area to thoroughly search their own property and parked cars periodically, in case the boy comes wandering in search of shelter. Police said anyone who comes in contact with the child should keep him in sight and call 911 immediately, CBS Philly reports.Police checked out a home at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday after someone thought they saw the boy s face in an upstairs win

Ffbg Mystery solved: Artist wrote madman sentence on The Scream MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. 鈥?Its impossible to walk by Benjamin Kamineckis store, The Fudge Factory, without stopping in. The intox icating smell of the shops delicacies drifts out onto Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach. Ive been doing this for 20 years. Its my passion. I love making fudge and choc olates, Kaminecki said. Every morning, I wake up. I wake up with a smile. I like to make people happy. Whats even sweeter than The Fudge Factorys treats Soon, more people will get the chance to taste them and visit the beautiful nearby beaches thanks to a new service.Weeks ago, the Gulf Islands Ferry service launched and started making trips from the day dock in Downtown Bradenton to Anna Marias City Pier.Starting this weekend, the service now makes stops at the Bridge Street Pier in Bradenton Beach too. Its the right step in the right direction, said Elliott Falcione, the Executive Director of the Bradenton Area Convention Visitors Bureau.For years, traffic and a lack of parking have kept some from visiting Anna Maria Island as often as they would like.For that reason especially, Falcione sees the ferry as a big win-win. More people can now visit the islands shops, restaurants, and world-class beaches while leaving their cars behind. We want what we want, and we want the cars off the roads, he said.For now, the ferry runs between the three stops from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. but he says even bigger things are on the horizon.

After a short pursuit, police say the car ran into a ditch and stopped. Their comman ds were ignored by Swett and he put the car in reverse, intentionally driving toward the officer and K-9, police said.Seeing what was about to happen, the officer used the leash to pull K-9 Cash away from the accelerating vehicle into his arms, and ran, with Cash in his arms, to avoid being run over.
