(AP) — U.S. captain Tim Ream says his teammates all recognize the golden opportunity in front of them to make their nation’s best World Cup run in their home tournament over the following days — and hopefully weeks.Yet instead of feeling amplified pressure under the raised expectations created by their strong group round and a groundswell of national support, these Americans appeared to be energized by the opportunity to make history as they broke camp Monday at their training base in Orange County.“Would it be weird if I told you I don’t really feel too much pressure at this minute?” Ream said with a grin.“I think we felt more pressure for that first game against Paraguay than anything, and that’s coming from ourselves, not from anything on the outside,” Ream added, referring to the Americans’ impressive 4-1 win in their World Cup opener on June 12. “We just have to put in a performance the way we have in the group stage, and then we see where that takes us.”The U.S. faces Bosnia-Herzegovina in the round of 32 in Santa Clara, California, on Wednesday night. The Americans are significantly favored — which is sort of an achievement in itself, given that this team has won exactly one knockout-round match in its entire World Cup history.But these Americans are on the international stage with more optimism and likely more talent than nearly all previous editions of this team. Whether that translates into a deep run is still to be decided, but the Americans’ confidence and excitement is undeniable.“The game is going to be about us and what we’re prepared to do, and what we have to do to advance,” U.S. striker Folarin Balogun said. “It’s crunch time. This is the business end, and this is the stage where, in my opinion, the big players step forward and the big players carry the pressure and make things happen.”Although the Americans reached the semifinals at the inaugural World Cup in 1930 by winning their group, their only knockout victory came at the 2002 tournament when they beat Mexico in the round of 16.Tim Ream says the US team felt more pressure at the last World Cup in QatarThe 38-year-old Ream believes the Americans felt more pressure four years ago in Qatar, when they muddled through group play before getting blasted 3-1 by the Netherlands in the first knockout round.Those Americans weren’t led by accomplished Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has made strong tactical advancements and clearly instilled many of his players with a new kind of confidence after previous U.S. cycles were spent under more parochial coaching.They also didn’t have Balogun, the elite goal-scorer who made a major impact on the Americans’ victories over Paraguay and Australia by a combined 6-1, clinching their group in style and rendering their third match meaningless.Folarin Balogun taking in American culture during the World CupBalogun’s impact is undeniable on the field, but the Brooklyn-born, London-raised forward is also a focal point away from the field. This World Cup cycle has been his first significant exposure to U.S. culture, and that’s an endless source of amusement and insight for his teammates.“He says America is a simulation quite often,” defender Mark McKenzie said with a laugh. “We’ll be driving down the road and he’ll see something and be like, ‘What is that? Why is an individual dressed like that, or why are they throwing a sign up in the air on the corner? What is Bojangles?’ It’s stuff like that, where he’s like, ‘Bro! America! What is going on?’”Many of the top Americans now play their club soccer internationally — another obvious factor in this team’s improved competitiveness in this World Cup. Defender Chris Richards, an Alabama native who plays in London for Crystal Palace, says his team is more mature and more tested than most previous editions of the U.S. roster because of its experience at all levels of the sport.And count Richards among those who find Balogun’s culture shock to be a hilarious distraction during the down time on international breaks and this World Cup cycle.“I think (Balogun) still has this notion that he says Americans aren’t real,” Richards said. “There’s some stuff that we do that doesn’t fly back in London. It’s a lot to learn and especially when you’re only here for a few weeks at a time. It’s been cool (for Balogun) being able to see different pockets of America.”Cristian Roldan and Auston Trusty do modified training ahead of round of 32NOTES: Injured players Cristian Roldan (quadriceps strain) and Auston Trusty (ankle) did modified training while their teammates went through a full workout Monday, but McKenzie (foot irritation) remained sidelined for a second straight day. Roldan hasn’t played at this World Cup, while Trusty scored in the Americans’ 3-2 loss to Turkey before he rolled his ankle late in the match. Roldan was on the field doing drills for the second straight day. McKenzie is getting treatment away from practice. None of the three injured Americans was expected to play a major role in the knockout rounds.___See more of AP’s World Cup coverage here","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/30/us-riding-wave-confidence-world-cup-knockout-rounds-after-strong-start-home-tournament/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"GREG BEACHAM, Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-30T01:42:20.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FDFDEQHXMZZHSHPT64WCTKE6YAE.jpg%3Fauth%3D0b38af7b9eda040cd278e5acb2359b63fdc629b8a47248bfa481e3d92a5a93c3%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"us-riding-wave-of-confidence-to-world-cup-knockout-rounds-after-strong-start-to-home-tournament"},{"id":"tk4ts1","title":"Wilson County farmers explain what’s behind record beef prices","excerpt":"As families across Middle Tennessee prepare to fire up the grill this Fourth of July, many are finding one item taking a bigger bite out of the grocery budget.","content":"As families across Middle Tennessee prepare to fire up the grill this Fourth of July, many are finding one item taking a bigger bite out of the grocery budget.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/wilson-county-farmers-explain-whats-behind-record-beef-prices-ground-beef-lebanon-tennessee-cattle-perry-neal","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-30T01:36:18.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F1280%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2F7aa4913b-53f9-4ca0-9e9a-6b6ad137c77d-0_05114_5353.MXF.png","inBriefing":true,"slug":"wilson-county-farmers-explain-whats-behind-record-beef-prices"},{"id":"wpkvk6","title":"Postal worker shot and killed, suspect arrested","excerpt":"WILKES COUNTY, N.C.

The move marks the latest expansion of access to the drug  which remains illegal at the federal level  through state-level policymaking.Virginia legalized adult possession years ago, but without a regulated retail market, we left the illicit market to fill the gap, state Sen. Lashrecse Aird, a Democrat and legislative leader on the issue, said in a statement earlier this month. This compromise gives us a smarter and safer path forward  one that protects consumers, keeps products tested and accurately labeled, and creates a legal marketplace that is affordable and accessible enough to actually compete.Heres what to know about Virginia's new law, the long process of enabling retail sales and how the state's changes fit into the national picture:RELATED STORY | Trump reclassifies state-licensed medical marijuana as a less-dangerous drugVirginia's law allows new stores, higher possession limitVirginia already had a medical marijuana program that allowed patients to purchase the drug through dispensaries. Now, state regulators will begin accepting applications for retail licenses on Feb. 1, ahead of the July 1, 2027, start date for recreational sales to adults 21 and older.The law increases the state's possession limit from 1 ounce to 2 ounces (28 grams to 57 grams) and it will continue to allow people to cultivate a small number of plants at home.The state will levy an excise tax on top of its sales tax, and that mix is expected to generate about $51 million in revenue for the state in the program's first year, according to legislative budget documents.Advocates of legalization are heralding the changesDemocrats have driven the state's push toward legalization and recreational retail sales. They have cast the issue as a matter of equity after state data found Black Virginians were disproportionately policed and convicted of using marijuana. Only a sliver of the state's Republican lawmakers have backed legalization, and many have raised public safety and health concerns.Legalization advocates have generally cheered Virginia's legislation, though many objected to a provision increasing the civil fine for public consumption, arguing it could again lead to disproportionate enforcement based on race.Chelsea Higgs Wise, a grassroots organizer whose group Marijuana Justice was among those that called on Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger to rethink the increased fine, said the legislation was still an exciting development after years of uncertainty.For the past five years, Adults that want to reasonably consume have been confused, rightfully so, she said.Virginia is an outlier in the SouthMarijuana is legal in most U.S. states for either medicinal or recreational use, with about half allowing it for recreational use, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, which advocates for legalization and tracks policy developments around the country.Virginia remains an outlier in the South for its permissive approach.Federal laws are at odds with state changesDespite the fact that nearly all states permit some form of cannabis use, the U.S. government maintains its longstanding prohibition on the drug.But in a major policy shift, the Trump administration in April announced it was reclassifying state-licensed medical marijuana as a less dangerous drug and accelerating the process for a broader reclassification.RELATED STORY | Marijuana users under age 50 are six times more likely to have a heart attack, study findsHow Virginia got hereDuring the 2010s, Virginia gradually expanded access to marijuana for medical treatment. Then, in 2021, Virginia became the first Southern state to legalize marijuana with the passage of a law that allowed adults 21 and over to possess and cultivate the drug.But lawmakers didnt fully enact a framework for retail sales outside of the states medical marijuana program. Partisan control of Virginia government flipped in November 2021, and the issue stalled out for years. In 2024, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed a bill that would have established recreational retail sales.Spanberger, who assumed office in January 2026, pledged support during her winning campaign for legislation setting up a retail market. While the governor did veto Democratic legislation that emerged from this year's legislative session, she eventually worked out a compromise with lawmakers. Those provisions were rolled into a state budget bill that reached final passage Monday and now becomes law, according to the governor's office, after lawmakers accepted all of Spanberger's amendments.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/virginia-to-allow-recreational-marijuana-to-be-sold-in-retail-stores-beginning-in-2027","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-30T00:48:04.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F80d7542%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F1280x672%2B0%2B24%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252Fee%252F17%252F47afdeb646928113d267fad88d2d%252F1489440474.jpg","slug":"virginia-to-allow-recreational-marijuana-to-be-sold-in-retail-stores-beginning-in-2027"},{"id":"vr53it","title":"Mayor files eminent domain legislation in fight over proposed data center by Nashville Zoo","excerpt":"This comes during an ongoing discussion over a controversial plan to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo.","content":"This comes during an ongoing discussion over a controversial plan to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/mayor-files-eminent-domain-legislation-fight-proposed-data-center-nashville-zoo/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Katelyn Quisenberry","publishDate":"2026-06-30T00:04:42.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FWEB_71fe29.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"mayor-files-eminent-domain-legislation-in-fight-over-proposed-data-center-by-nashville-zoo"},{"id":"fgw7h7","title":"Poet laureate of Tennessee Margaret Britton Vaughn dies at 87","excerpt":"The poet laureate of Tennessee has just died.

Friends knew Vaughn as hilarious, talented, and deeply unique.Visiting Bell Buckle, Tennessee over the years, I've just found this little place has so many artists. A proud addition to that is Vaughn.\"When Maggi was your friend, you knew you had a friend,\" said longtime friend Annie Rooney. \"It wasn't if you're rich or poor or have four matching tires on your car, she was your friend.\"Going way back, Vaughn was a songwriter for some country greats.\"Loretta Lynn, yes!\" said friend Carla Webb.To understand the uniqueness of Vaughn, listen to this story.\"Maggi says, 'honey, you wanna go to the movies with me?'\" friend Billy Phillips remembered.Phillips was nine when he and Vaughn became friends and took a trip to the Carpi Theatre in Shelbyville.\"When I get into the car, there were 200 empty boxes of chocolate bunny rabbits!\" Phillips laughed.\"She loved chocolate,\" Rooney agreed.\"It couldn't be hollow milk chocolate,\" Phillips continued. \"It had to be solid milk chocolate.\"That was just one of many loves. One of the times I got to talk to Vaughn was in 2023. She was selling eclectic things she'd collected. They included a typewriter built out of clothes hangers and a lamp made of forks and spoons.\"Maggi had a lot of stuff!\" Phillips said.She'd call around to antique shops.\"Got anything that looks like me, honey?\" Rooney laughed, remembering Vaughn's calls.Talking to Vaughn, you came to understand something. She had a deep appreciation for the art and the artist who made it. That's something that sprang from Vaughn being an artist herself.\"My mother looked down and said, 'are you sure you don't want to be a nurse?'\" Vaughn told me in 2023. \"I said, 'no, momma. I wanna be a songwriter and a poet.' People say, 'Maggi, these books. You've written my life.'\"\"Maggi had front porch books, not coffee table books,\" Webb said.\"She was a poet of the people,\" Rooney continued.Vaughn took on prejudice in her work. She also wrote about all things she loved.\"She covered rural life, southern things,\" Phillips said.That writing carried her to become the poet laureate of Tennessee in 1995. The next year, she wrote Tennessee's bicentennial poem.\"I gave her her last kiss the other day,\" Webb said.\"I'm on the verge of tears,\" Phillips added. \"This will be a real gut punch.\"Asking around town, people seemed to agree on their favorite of Vaughn's works.\"Is That You Mama?\" Phillips said, naming one of Vaughn's poems.Webb read me an excerpt of the poem. It ended with these lines;\"Well, mama, I'm okay now. You tell the Lord I said hi.

On Monday, a new judge laid out a timeline for hearings and set the retrial to start April 5. She also nailed down deadlines for making sure the defense and prosecution have exchanged evidence, a process called discovery.Dozens of media outlets, from international agencies and local TV stations to podcasters, were inside the 200-person Lexington County courthouse to again chronicle every forehead rub and quizzical look from the once-rich and imposing Southern lawyer.I see we have a full house, Judge Debra McCaslin said as the hearing began.For many, it was a rare glimpse of how life in state prison has changed the 58-year-old Murdaugh. After pleading guilty to stealing about $12 million from clients and his familys law firm, he is serving a 40-year federal sentence at the same time as a 27-year state sentence.Unlike just about everyone else in the courtroom, the judge said she was new to the story, which combines a grisly double murder with the fall of a powerful legal dynasty.I dont know anything about the first trial, so when you tell me something, please be complete, McCaslin told the lawyers.Prosecutors say Murdaugh shot his wife Maggie and younger son Paul, age 22, because he believed sympathy over their deaths would buy him time to fix his financial crimes. At that point in 2021, he was close to being exposed by both his law firm and the family of a teen who filed a wrongful death suit after Paul crashed a boat while drinking.A jury convicted Murdaugh of two counts of murder in 2023. While admitting he is a thief, insurance cheat, bad lawyer and longtime opioid addict, he has adamantly denied the killings.RELATED STORY | South Carolina Supreme Court overturns Alex Murdaughs murder convictions, orders new trialMurdaugh wore an orange prison jumpsuit Monday, listening with his mouth set in a tight line.At one point, as defense attorney Dick Harpootlian was asking the judge to let Murdaugh wear civilian clothes in court, he told his client to stand.Chains around the hands, chain around the waist, chains on his feet, Harpootlian noted, saying a jury would see Murdaugh shackled like a dangerous criminal when hes only been convicted of financial crimes.Prosecutor Creighton Waters said it's important for incarcerated defendants to wear restraints and jumpsuits. Every time someone is transferred out of court, it is a security risk, he said.Defense lawyers want Murdaugh, who was disbarred during his legal troubles, to have access in prison to a laptop without internet, so his team wouldn't have to print and deliver evidence to him. Harpootlian said Monday there are more than 20,000 pages of documents.Well surely, Mr. Harpootlian, he reviewed those before his first trial, did he not? the judge asked.Five years ago, the lawyer replied.Another pretrial motion asks prosecutors to turn over DNA found under Murdaughs wifes fingernails for testing at a private lab. Investigators said it was from an unknown and unrelated man. The defense said they would cover the cost of testing.Im gonna let you pay for it, the judge quipped, drawing a chuckle from the courtroom.Murdaugh was grimacing and biting his lower lip during the exchange.The defense also wants to hold the next trial outside Colleton County, where the killings happened and the first trial took place. That matter was not decided Monday.Investigators and armchair detectives alike have spent hours poring over alibis, timelines and digital breadcrumbs, including a cellphone video that prosecutors say cracked the case. They allege Murdaughs voice can be heard on the video, which was taken by his son shortly before the shootings at dog kennels on the familys sprawling property. Murdaugh had initially claimed he was asleep at the time.During the first trial, a few jurors said the Colleton County clerk of court, who is assigned to oversee the evidence and the jury during the trial, told them to watch Murdaughs body language when he testified in his own defense and to not be fooled, confused or thrown off by what he might say.The state Supreme Court ruled this was a suggestion Murdaugh was guilty, and overturned his convictions.The justices were also concerned there had been too much testimony around how Murdaugh stole from clients, many of them in dire straits.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/crime/alex-murdaughs-retrial-on-murder-charges-set-for-april-2027","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-29T23:48:40.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Ffac8da0%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F3000x1575%2B0%2B213%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F95%252Fe0%252F0a8861d94f9195adbad65da65268%252Fap26180581343626.jpg","slug":"alex-murdaughs-retrial-on-murder-charges-set-for-april-2027"},{"id":"7bpmfx","title":"Cooling center opens at Wilson County Fairgrounds during heat wave","excerpt":"The Wilson County Emergency Management Agency (WEMA) is operating a cooling center at the Q Barn at the Wilson County Fairgrounds this week, giving neighbors a place to escape dangerous heat.As of Monday night, the plan is for the center to be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday.M...","content":"The Wilson County Emergency Management Agency (WEMA) is operating a cooling center at the Q Barn at the Wilson County Fairgrounds this week, giving neighbors a place to escape dangerous heat.As of Monday night, the plan is for the center to be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday.Meagan Eldridge with WEMA said the center is about more than just comfort.\"If we can provide a place for people to come in, get out of the heat, and cool off during the day, it's going to save ER trips, it's going to save your own health, as far as you know, from suffering from a heat stroke,\" Eldridge said.In addition to air conditioning, the center offers showers, snacks, donated meals, and toiletries.Pets are also welcome  something not always offered at cooling shelters.Volunteer Cindy Woody, who moved to Lebanon in early 2023, plans to be there every day its open this week.\"I actually moved to Lebanon in early 2023 and I just dove right into being a volunteer,\" Woody said.Volunteer Network helps operate the center and is looking for additional volunteers, even those who can only commit a few hours at a time.Click here to find out about volunteering for the center.The cooling center is also accepting donations of snack food that people can eat while theyre at the center.On Monday, a local Zaxbys donated a meal for people cooling off at the center.WEMA is offering a ride to people who need it to come to the cooling center, you can call 615-489-9129 to ask about getting a ride.Click here for more information on the cooling center.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.

(WSMV) - On day six of the Blaise Taylor murder trial, the defense continued to argue that Jade Benning willingly used drugs before her death, with testimony centered on toxicology reports and evidence pulled from her phone.Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans scout, is accused of killing Benning and her unborn child by lacing her drink with a liquid form of cocaine. Benning died Feb. 25, 2023, of cocaine poisoning, according to the medical examiner. Her unborn child had traces of cocaine in its liver tissue but died as a result of Benning’s death, the medical examiner said.The defense called a forensic analyst to testify about content found on Benning’s phone in the weeks leading up to her death, in an effort to show she was involved in the sale and purchase of drugs. As of day six of the trial, the defense had not been able to prove she was using drugs. Doctors have testified Benning was given fentanyl at the hospital and that’s why it was found in her system. Among the evidence presented were several text messages sent from Benning’s phone on the day she died. Forensic analyst Eric Devlin read the message aloud during testimony, describing how someone had asked Benning if she would be able to help them obtain substances. Around 3:30 p.m. on the day of her death, texts showed Benning messaging someone by the name of “Danny Weed,” saying, “My coworker wants to get a half from you.” That person replied, “Bet. I gotchu when I get back.” She did not indicate in messages that day that she wanted any substances for herself. The defense has not indicated whether Taylor will testify in his own defense. Witness testimony is scheduled to continue Tuesday.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/blaise-taylor-trial-day-6-defense-focuses-victims-phone-records-alleged-drug-use/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Diana Rocco","publishDate":"2026-06-29T23:27:09.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F2AMVJH7KCBFA7MRTBAPNBR3G4Q.png%3Fauth%3Dd806a83def95b1b09bfc6cdc5f86e2f39f9c68d9ae5be4b22be0c1f921c77c33%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"blaise-taylor-trial-day-6-defense-focuses-on-victims-phone-records-alleged-drug-use"},{"id":"c2dm5","title":"Supreme Court upholds state law on late mail-in ballots","excerpt":"WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states can continue counting mail-in ballots after Election Day, rejecting a challenge brought by the Republican National Committee.In a 5-4 decision, the court found that the party’s dispute over a Mississippi state statute does not hold...","content":"WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states can continue counting mail-in ballots after Election Day, rejecting a challenge brought by the Republican National Committee.In a 5-4 decision, the court found that the party’s dispute over a Mississippi state statute does not hold up under federal law.The law allows state officials to count mail-in ballots up to five days after Election Day, as long as they were postmarked on Election Day.While the RNC argued the law was unconstitutional, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, said federal law sets when voters “shall give their Votes” but leaves open when those votes must be received. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Barrett in the majority.“The Constitution therefore envisions a system in which receipt is necessarily divorced from voting, and it sets the crucial, uniform day as the day of voting, leaving receipt to happen down the line,” Barrett wrote.In the dissenting opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that “from this Nation’s founding until the last few decades of the 20th century — a period that spans the enactment of all three election-day statutes — having an ‘election’ on a particular day meant completing ballot collection on that day.” Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch joined the dissenting opinion. Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined most of the dissent.The case had been closely watched because it could have impacted laws in 30 states and Washington, D.C., just months before the November 2026 midterm elections.Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said the party was proud to have stood with Mississippi in the case. “Today, democracy prevailed,” Martin said in a statement. “The RNC’s lawsuit attempted to rip away democratically enacted safeguards for millions, including U.S. service members.”RNC Chairman Joe Gruters spoke out against the decision and said that the party will keep pushing for its position.“If we want fair and secure elections, Election Day should mean exactly what it says,” Gruters said. “Republicans are not going to be deterred by this decision, and the RNC will keep fighting to have elections end on Election Day as Americans want.”President Trump called the ruling a “tremendous loss” in a post on social media.The president has long spoken out against mail-in ballot voting and has reputedly falsely claimed that it is rampant with voter fraud.Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, who defended the law int he case, said in a statement that despite the ruling she hopes state legislators change it.“With the bedrock constitutional principle of federalism now affirmed, I am hopeful that the Mississippi Legislature will take this opportunity to amend the law and require absentee ballots be received on the same day ballots are cast at the polling place,” Fitch said. “President Trump is right to prioritize improving public trust in our elections.”The ruling only impacts states and territories that have mail-in ballot grace period laws.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/supreme-court-upholds-state-law-late-mail-in-ballots/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Stetson Miller","publishDate":"2026-06-29T23:26:38.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FAQKRX4UXUZEDDLYXSZB4VSTP7A.jpg%3Fauth%3D8afb917527d6e8d4bfedb006a6c294e4086f4a4c1aa9657a00360d2a530333c1%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"supreme-court-upholds-state-law-on-late-mail-in-ballots"},{"id":"w0a85t","title":"Vanderbilt doctor discusses ALS following former Titan Chris Johnson’s diagnosis","excerpt":"Chris Johnson, a former Tennessee Titans running back, announced during an exclusive interview on ABC's \"Good Morning America\" Monday that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), shocking football fans across the country.","content":"Chris Johnson, a former Tennessee Titans running back, announced during an exclusive interview on ABC's \"Good Morning America\" Monday that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), shocking football fans across the country.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/sports/tennessee-titans/vanderbilt-doctor-discusses-als-following-former-titan-chris-johnsons-diagnosis/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Kendall Ashman","publishDate":"2026-06-29T23:20:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2Fgettyimages-105671595-594x594-1.jpg%3Fw%3D594","slug":"vanderbilt-doctor-discusses-als-following-former-titan-chris-johnsons-diagnosis"},{"id":"5b5ogw","title":"Nashville OEM conducts heat patrols as triple-digit heat index continues","excerpt":"The Nashville Office of Emergency Management is conducting heat patrols this week as \"feels like\" temperatures soar into the triple digits.","content":"The Nashville Office of Emergency Management is conducting heat patrols this week as \"feels like\" temperatures soar into the triple digits.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/nashville-oem-conducts-heat-patrols-as-triple-digit-heat-index-continues/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Audrey Mayer","publishDate":"2026-06-29T23:01:56.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2F430PKG.00_01_25_26.Still001.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"nashville-oem-conducts-heat-patrols-as-triple-digit-heat-index-continues"},{"id":"sw983","title":"TN mother charged for shooting deaths of her two children, aged 1 and 11","excerpt":"KENTON, Tenn.

That ruling overturns a 1935 Supreme Court precedent and allows Trump to remove Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter.Trump responded on Truth Social, writing: “90 years of precedent has been COMPLETELY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY OVERRULED, greatly increasing Presidential Power at a time when it is most needed!”With the pair of decisions, the court’s conservative supermajority has created what amounts to a Federal Reserve exception on presidential power.

(WSMV) - Three people, including a teenager, have been arrested and charged for allegedly breaking into more than a dozen vehicles in a single day. Murfreesboro Police said Monday that the three suspects face multiple charges of burglary and evading arrest. James Edge, 20, Casey Stevens, 19, and a 15-year-old are among those charged. Edge has also been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and the teen faces an additional charge of violating the local child curfew ordinance. The three allegedly broke into at least 13 vehicles at two different apartment complexes on Friday, located at Warrior Drive and South Church Street. Police said there had been reports of three people dressed entirely in black and walking around the complex with backpacks on. When police got to the scene, they said the three suspects fled and that officers were able to detain the teenager.

(WVLT) - For the first time ever, the only house in Tennessee designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright has hit the market. The house sits atop Chattanooga’s Missionary Ridge, and the home’s listing outlines the details of the building. Wright designed it at the request of newlyweds Seamour and Gerte Shavin, and construction finished in 1952. Since then, Sotheby’s Realty says, it’s been maintained by the original family. “Having spent nearly 20 years as a real estate photographer and photographed almost 8,000 homes across 16 states, I can honestly say this was the first time I truly felt as though I was walking through a piece of art and history while photographing it,” said Bruce McCamish. “Every room, every line, and every detail reminded me that this wasn’t simply a house—it was a masterpiece, thoughtfully designed and lovingly preserved for more than seven decades. Photographing it wasn’t just another assignment; it was a privilege.”“This architectural treasure was thoughtfully designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, capturing breathtaking views of the Tennessee River, Lookout Mountain and the surrounding landscape,” the listing reads. The house features plenty of exposed wood and stone, a signature of Wright’s work, and contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Snagging the house isn’t cheap, though; it’s on the market for $1.6 million. Wright spent 70 years designing buildings. He became one of the most prolific and controversial architects of the 20th century, earning 12 spots on the Architectural Record’s hundred most important buildings of the century.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/tennessees-only-home-designed-by-legendary-architect-frank-lloyd-wright-is-market-heres-price-tag/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Camruinn Morgan-Rumsey","publishDate":"2026-06-29T22:08:42.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FZOASPQKNZVFZNNWNK6P72OMWIY.jpg%3Fauth%3D4357bfbfd59357cd12d3ac214bec688130f0ccf86eb8f78c3ef522ba1642aaa4%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"tennessees-only-home-designed-by-legendary-architect-frank-lloyd-wright-is-on-the-market-heres-the-p"},{"id":"oxd9j2","title":"Man flown to Nashville after fight over woman leads to shooting in Kentucky, police say","excerpt":"HOPKINSVILLE, Ky.

(WSMV) - Air conditioners across Middle Tennessee are running nonstop as dangerous heat pushes toward triple digits, and HVAC crews said breakdown calls are already climbing. Experts said many of those failures can be prevented with a few simple steps at home.Lee Company is already receiving around 100 service calls a day, and Brett Gephart with Lee Company said the volume is expected to get worse later in the week after units have been running continuously for days.“Units are going to work harder, so it is going to put more strain on the components,” Gephart said, adding most of the calls come late in the afternoon during the hottest part of the day. What’s causing the breakdownsGephart said many of the breakdowns come from basic maintenance issues, including not changing air filters and checking refrigerant levels. Drain lines are among the most common failure points during a heat wave because they can easily get clogged up with longer, harder running if an air conditioner is not serviced regularly. “A lot of drain line calls of drain lines backing up. They sometimes cause damage depending how often they are flushed and how much use the system has,” Gephart said.He said a routine maintenance visit covers several key checkpoints that can catch a minor problem and fix it before an entire system stops working. Airflow, shade and outdoor unit careClearing debris from around the outdoor unit is another step homeowners can take at the start of the heatwave. Things like vines and grass clippings can clog up important components. Gephart said Lee Company crews remove leaves from the bottom of units during service visits to allow adequate airflow, and said the unit’s placement around a house also affects performance.“If the unit is in the shade, it’s going to work a lot less. If the unit is beating down in the sun, it’s going to work a little harder,” he said.Thermostat settings and indoor habits matterGephart said cranking the thermostat down to the mid-60s does not cool a home faster. Most units are designed to operate around 20 degrees below the outside temperature, and forcing the system to chase an extreme setting only puts additional strain on it. He recommends cooling your home between 70 and 74 degrees when the temperature is around 100 outside. “Make sure the thermostat is just not set very, very low,” Gephart said. “Keep it comfortable to yourself, just don’t overstress the unit. Obviously, it’s going to try to maintain that temperature to the best of its ability.” Closing blinds, using fans, and not turning on the oven and dryer during the hottest parts of the day can also reduce the load on the system.If the air suddenly feels weak or warm, or if the unit begins making new buzzing or grinding sounds, experts said a professional should be called before the hottest days of the week arrive.Gephart said their crews will be working around the clock to repair issues, but people should completely turn their units off at the thermostat to prevent further damage until someone can inspect the issue.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/how-keep-your-air-conditioner-running-during-middle-tennessees-dangerous-heat-wave/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Brendan Tierney","publishDate":"2026-06-29T21:14:30.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FGISOFKMGBNGYBI2OR5WO5PWKXM.png%3Fauth%3De5cfd1270adaadd745e57f01afc336cd89c5aab35d0ce0db4f63a30d7fbe71b7%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"how-to-keep-your-air-conditioner-running-during-middle-tennessees-dangerous-heat-wave"},{"id":"e14hwu","title":"Nashville councilwoman warned over violations involving disclosure in zoning vote","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(Atlanta News First) — The Atlanta Braves have seen their double-digit lead in the NL East shrink to just three games in a little over a month as the Philadelphia Phillies have rebounded from a dismal April and climbed the National League standings under interim manager Don Mattingly.Atlanta is 9-13 in June after losing five of six games to the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants last week. The Braves now return home for a seven-game homestand, beginning with a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals before hosting the New York Mets for four games.With the rotation continuing to struggle with consistency and the offense mired in an extended slump, it’s unlikely general manager and president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos will remain idle as the trade deadline approaches. The Braves appear likely to pursue outside help if the club’s recent issues persist.Pitching probablesTuesday, 7:15 p.m. - LHP Martin Perez vs. LHP Matthew LiberatoreWednesday, 7:15 p.m. - RHP Reynaldo Lopez vs. RHP Michael McGreevyThursday, 7:15 p.m. - TBD vs. RHP Dustin MayAtlanta will start Perez on Tuesday and Lopez on Wednesday. Lopez, who was moved to the bullpen near the end of April, allowed one run over three innings Friday against the San Francisco Giants before Hurston Waldrep relieved him and walked four batters over two innings in his season debut.Manager Walt Weiss said there’s a chance Lopez and Waldrep could piggyback again on Wednesday.Thursday’s starter, however, remains undecided. Grant Holmes was needed in relief Saturday after Bryce Elder lasted just four innings against San Francisco. Elder, who has allowed 19 earned runs over his last 14 innings spanning three starts, is lined up to pitch Thursday on regular rest. However, with his velocity down throughout Saturday’s outing, Atlanta could opt to give him extra rest. If that happens, the Braves will need to determine another option for Thursday’s start.Right now, Holmes seems like the likely option if Elder is granted extra rest.Hitters to watchBraves: Atlanta has been the worst-hitting team in the majors this month. Drake Baldwin hasn’t recorded a hit since June 17, Ha-Seong Kim has just five hits all season, and both Austin Riley and Matt Olson continue to work through prolonged slumps.As a team, the Braves own a 65 wRC+ (Weighted Runs Created Plus, an advanced offensive metric in which 100 is league average), by far the worst mark in Major League Baseball this month.With the Phillies closing the gap in the NL East, Atlanta needs its lineup to rediscover the form that made it one of baseball’s most productive offenses in April and May.Cardinals: On the other hand, St. Louis has received consistent production from Alec Burleson (.824 OPS), Ivan Herrera (.807 OPS) and Jordan Walker (.859 OPS), all of whom have been steady contributors throughout the season. All three are guys to watch and the Braves’ rotation this week is uncertain.Injury reportBravesOF Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring)INF Kyle Farmer (forearm)RHP Joe Jimenez (knee)C Sean Murphy (middle finger)RHP Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow)RHP AJ Smith-Shawver (elbow)RHP Spencer Strider (elbow)RHP Robert Suarez (forearm)LHP Danny Young (elbow)RELATED: Braves place Robert Suarez on IL with right elbow inflammationCardinalsRHP Ryan FernandezRHP Dustin May (back)INF Ramon Urias (elbow)How to watch Braves on GrayThe Braves and Gray Media will simulcast 25 games for free, over-the-air to fans across Braves Country through local television stations, reaching 26 markets throughout the Southeast.Tuesday’s game will be broadcast live on Gray Media.For broadcast times, channel information and additional details, fans are encouraged to click here and check local Gray Media station listings in their markets.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/braves-world-hurt-entering-series-vs-cardinals/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Aaron Schmidt","publishDate":"2026-06-29T21:07:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F72SB2WRBPJARHHVLL4TBEZUYYQ.jpg%3Fauth%3Db1c9b08c475d4d10e7aa4d3145e13dd461482a4009b26d83d699a4316607cd93%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"braves-in-a-world-of-hurt-entering-series-vs-cardinals"},{"id":"1zk4v9","title":"Grizzlies trade Ja Morant to Portland","excerpt":"MEMPHIS, Tenn.

Judge Margaret Garnett said jury selection in the federal case will begin in early January. Garnett noted that with Mangione’s state trial set for September, the federal case cannot move any faster.Garnett had initially been aiming for a November trial date, but in court today she laid out new guidelines as the case heads toward jury selection. The judge said the questionnaire that will be given to prospective jurors cannot be made public at this time.

(WSMV) - The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is warning parents and caregivers about the growing threat of financially motivated sextortion targeting children and teens.The warning comes after the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children reported more than 50,000 cases of financially motivated sextortion in 2025, averaging 137 reports per day. That is up from more than 36,000 reports in 2024.TBI officials said the numbers are concerning but not surprising. Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robert Burghardt, who oversees TBI’s Internet Crimes Against Children Squad, said four TBI agents are currently working to identify and locate more than 150 child victims of sextortion in Tennessee.The TBI said these crimes often remain hidden because the predator and the child are usually the only people who know about the abuse until it is reported. Burghardt said that can leave children carrying an overwhelming emotional burden, especially when predators threaten to share private images with friends or family.NCMEC also reported that offenders are moving faster, often shifting conversations to private messaging and encrypted apps, making the crimes harder to detect.Burghardt said education is the strongest defense and urged parents and caregivers to talk with children about sextortion before a crisis happens. He said children should know to tell a trusted adult immediately and never pay or cooperate with a blackmailer, because giving in often leads to more demands.JUST ANNOUNCED: The TBI is issuing a warning in response to recently released data from The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children highlighting growing threat of financial sextortion targeting children and teens.To read more: https://t.co/kaBaGxCTPJ pic.twitter.com/5HZlc8qjP4&mdash; Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (@TBInvestigation) June 29, 2026Anyone whose child has been victimized should immediately contact local law enforcement and submit a tip to NCMEC at report.cybertip.org.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/theres-growing-threat-sextortion-targeting-children-teens-tbi-warns-heres-how-keep-your-kids-safe/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caleb Wethington","publishDate":"2026-06-29T20:08:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FJJIZXHMMCFGT3AEFDS5HWLQVH4.png%3Fauth%3D095af2555e019f838fff4ecdef4d4ac67e2b72f26186000885b0dde56fbc8696%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"theres-a-growing-threat-of-sextortion-targeting-children-and-teens-tbi-warns-heres-how-to-keep-your-"},{"id":"lh7bil","title":"More than 100 Tennessee workers laid off amid closure of Gallatin business","excerpt":"GALLATIN, Tenn.

But the Republican National Committee  and President Trump  criticized it and similar measures elsewhere in the country, alleging they could lead to fraud.In her majority opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in part, Election fraud and its appearance are serious issues. Like other such issues, however, they must be addressed through the democratic process.Dissenting, Justice Samuel Alito wrote, When someone votes by mail, it is harder for officials to verify the identity of the person requesting and completing the ballot.RELATED STORY | Supreme Court says police cant freely access cellphone location historyAccording to the National Conference of State Legislatures, a total of 14 states and the District of Columbia have laws that allow mail-in ballots to be counted after election day.Several dozen more states allow ballots cast by members of the military and Americans living overseas to be counted late.This ruling means those laws can stand.In a statement to Scripps News, Joe Gruters, the Republican National Committee chair, said Democrats were inviting chaos at the ballot box by allowing elections to drag on for days and weeks after voters cast their ballots.But voting rights groups celebrated the decision.The ACLU and a coalition of groups that backed Mississippis law said Mondays ruling protects the fundamental principle that people should not lose their right to vote because of mail delays outside their control.MORE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS | Supreme Court rejects Trumps push to toss $5M E.

(WSMV) - On day five of the Blaise Taylor murder trial, the defense continued building its case that Jade Benning willingly used drugs before her death, with testimony centered on toxicology reports and evidence pulled from her phone.Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans scout, is accused of killing Benning and her unborn child by lacing her drink with a liquid form of cocaine. Benning died Feb. 25, 2023, of cocaine poisoning, according to the medical examiner. Her baby had traces of cocaine in its liver tissue but died as a result of Benning’s death, the medical examiner said.The defense called a forensic analyst to testify about content found on Benning’s phone in the weeks leading up to her death, in an effort to show she was involved in the sale and purchase of drugs. As of day five, the defense had not been able to prove she was using drugs. Doctors have testified Jade was given fentanyl at the hospital and that’s why it was found in her system. Among the evidence presented was a text message sent from Benning’s phone on the day she died. Forensic analyst Eric Devine read the message aloud during testimony.“These are text messages — ‘you can holla at your boy, need a half, pls and thanks,’” Devine said.The defense has not indicated whether Taylor will testify in his own defense.

(WSMV) - A woman is behind bars in Nashville after allegedly shooting at a car carrying a mother and her two children. “The victim stated that she and her two children were inside the vehicle when the defendant pointed a firearm at them and fired several rounds in the direction of the vehicle,” arrest papers say. Police say the shooter was 22-year-old Kenterra Broyles. It allegedly happened just before 7 p.m. at Ewing Heights Apartments in North Nashville. After Broyles allegedly fired at the family, the mom drove to safety and called police. When officers met up with her, they noticed a bullet hole in the right front fender of her vehicle.Other officers who went to the apartment complex found a spent shell casing and the suspect, who was taken into custody. No injuries were reported, according to an affidavit. “While seated in the rear of the patrol vehicle, the defendant admitted to firing shots at the victim’s vehicle,” arrest documents say. Video footage obtained by investigators showed the women getting into an argument and Broyles allegedly “pointing a firearm at the victim before the shots were fired.” Broyles is now charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. According to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office website, she was booked Sunday night and is subject to a 12-hour hold.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/woman-shoots-into-car-carrying-mom-two-children-nashville-police-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-29T19:42:18.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMTUGLKP575C2LGTVF6WFY6TUE4.jpg%3Fauth%3D5209d349cc950b5ba64d8bf1e1aa761c64c6b1fbb932619a342a44505d7243d9%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"woman-shoots-into-car-carrying-mom-two-children-nashville-police-say"},{"id":"757oxo","title":"Summer field work stalled after baseball equipment stolen from McGavock High School","excerpt":"McGavock High School's baseball coach woke up last week to thousands of dollars in equipment stolen; the biggest loss was a John Deere Gator used to maintain the field.","content":"McGavock High School's baseball coach woke up last week to thousands of dollars in equipment stolen; the biggest loss was a John Deere Gator used to maintain the field.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/baseball-equipment-stolen-from-mcgavock-high-school/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Alexia Tsiropoulos","publishDate":"2026-06-29T22:54:55.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2Fmcgavock-high-break-in-for-web.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"summer-field-work-stalled-after-baseball-equipment-stolen-from-mcgavock-high-school"},{"id":"qpkt85","title":"Nashville mayor plans to stop data center near zoo with eminent domain","excerpt":"Nashville mayor Freddie O'Connell plans to use eminent domain to stop a data center from moving in near the Nashville Zoo.","content":"Nashville mayor Freddie O'Connell plans to use eminent domain to stop a data center from moving in near the Nashville Zoo.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/zoo-eminent-domain-data-center/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Brittney Baird","publishDate":"2026-06-29T15:30:35.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FScreenshot-2026-06-29-101211.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-mayor-plans-to-stop-data-center-near-zoo-with-eminent-domain"},{"id":"hyqm93","title":"Supreme Court Rejects Trump Appeal in E.

Jean Carroll in New York.The appeal challenged a jury verdict from 2023 that awarded Carroll $5 million. Carroll alleged Trump raped her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s. Trump denied the allegation, and Carroll later filed a civil lawsuit accusing him of defaming her in those denials. A judge in the case found Trump had sexually abused Carroll and defamed her, and a jury later determined the damages. Trump’s legal team argued the trial judge allowed improper testimony, but the Supreme Court rejected the appeal Monday. The court did not provide an explanation for its decision.Trump is also appealing a separate defamation verdict involving Carroll. In 2024, a jury awarded Carroll $83 million in damages.

(WSMV) - Emergency officials are opening up a cooling centers across Middle Tennessee amid dangerously high temperatures. Extreme heat and humidity have arrived in Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky, with a heat index reaching as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit through the Fourth of July weekend. The conditions have prompted an Extreme Heat Warning for many Midstate counties and parts of southwest Kentucky, which is expected to remain in place through Thursday. Here’s where you can go to stay cool — and safe. Wilson CountyThe Wilson County Emergency Management Agency said Monday the cooling center will “provide a safe, air-conditioned place for anyone needing relief from the extreme heat.” It will be located at the Q Barn inside the Wilson County Fairgrounds, at 914 Tennessee Boulevard. Right now, it’s expected to be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through at least Thursday. Along with air conditioning, water, Gatorade and light snacks will be provided. Pets are able to stay at the center as well, but must be on a leash. WEMA Shelter signs will be located throughout the fairgrounds to help direct people to the center.

We also explore holistic approaches to health and wellness that go beyond medication and meet a barbershop quartet whose bond grew even stronger as one member worked to recover from a serious health crisis. The steps to take after a dementia diagnosis Getting a diagnosis of dementia can feel overwhelming for any family, and the questions can start right away: What happens next? What’s normal and what can be done right now? “Once this discussion takes place and you say you have dementia, it’s not the end of the story. It signals the beginning of a plan,” Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said. The Aging Untold experts say the plan starts with clarity about what type of dementia it is and what can be treated. Rogers said families should think beyond a single appointment and instead build a team that matches the person’s needs. Read the full article here. What holistic medicine really means Feeling stronger and healthier may start with four simple pillars. Holistic approaches to health and wellness take into account how you sleep, move, eat and manage stress. Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said holistic medicine isn’t alternative medicine — it’s complete medicine. “Holistic means pertaining to the whole person, so you’re treating the whole body, not just the symptoms or the diagnosis,” she said. She said a holistic approach asks why the problem exists in the first place. “Holistic means you’re trying to look to find out the why,” Rogers said. “There is a reason, and that’s what we’re working back from.” Read the full article here and learn more about the four pillars, why stress deserves more attention than it gets, and why movement and muscle are important for older adults. Dermatologist says simple skincare routine is enough for healthy skin You might have seen skincare regimens with several steps on social media, but a Mayo Clinic dermatologist says a simple three-step morning routine is enough to maintain healthy skin. Dr. Saranya Wyles, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist, said the first step is a gentle, unscented, fragrance-free cleanser. “A lot of times, fragrances and soap can be aggravating to the skin,” she said. Wyles said the nighttime routine is even simpler. Read the full article here. Barbershop quartet keeps singing after member’s stroke A barbershop quartet continues to perform together after one of its members suffered a stroke and spent five days in the hospital. Joel and Patty Bourgeois met at a barbershop competition and recruited the members of Alternative Medicine — Joe Larson and Dennis Stephani. “We want folks to feel the music and feel better, having heard it,” Joel Bourgeois said. The group has performed at variety shows, sporting events and nursing homes. Then, a stroke sidelined Joe Larson. He spent five days in the hospital. “My stroke took away my dexterity in my right hand, my handwriting went to pot and piano playing was out the window,” Larson said. After several weeks of speech and physical rehabilitation, he left the facility and the group has returned to performing.

You can get your rent payments reported to TransUnion every month without any landlord involvement and it will add positive information to your credit report,” Kiernan said. “So, you basically just need to sync your checking account, and the service will identify your rent payments and relay them to TransUnion.”How rent reporting worksAccording to TransUnion, only about 13 percent of renters get their rent payments reported to the credit bureaus. Renters can research different services and enroll in rent reporting, sometimes through an app. In other cases, a landlord or property manager may offer the service.Kiernan said the impact on a credit score can be significant.“There’s been some research done by VantageScore that found that reporting your rent payments can increase your credit score by up to 150 points,\" he said. “And if you don’t have any credit history to start with, reporting your rent payments can generate a credit score for you basically right away.”Shopping for a serviceKiernan said renters should shop around for a rent reporting service to find the best fit. Utility bills — including electric, water, gas and phone — can also now be reported to help build a credit score.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/expert-rent-reporting-could-boost-your-credit-score-by-up-150-points/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Rachel DePompa","publishDate":"2026-06-29T18:47:48.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FQAJ2VF33GZDJNOMFVA6GO5OH5Y.png%3Fauth%3D8b196ac5380a6b18d93349d30ab0b64d868eda02a7752dfa89d556103eaab9ec%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"expert-rent-reporting-could-boost-your-credit-score-by-up-to-150-points"},{"id":"16w8fd","title":"Winners announced for St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway 2026","excerpt":"The 22nd annual St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway in Nashville has concluded, and News 2 would like to congratulate all of the lucky winners!","content":"The 22nd annual St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway in Nashville has concluded, and News 2 would like to congratulate all of the lucky winners!","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/community/st-jude-dream-home-giveaway-winners-2026/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Aubriella Jackson","publishDate":"2026-06-28T17:43:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F03%2FDreamHome.png%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"winners-announced-for-st-jude-dream-home-giveaway-2026"},{"id":"mbhxeq","title":"Deputies use drone to locate, monitor barricaded suspect in TN, sheriff’s office says","excerpt":"PARIS, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Metro Nashville Police say they were able to infiltrate group chats used to organize “riotous” car meets and street races, helping them identify and arrest a suspected organizer. Austin Meredith, 22, was charged last week with inciting a riot and participating in a riot, according to court records. His arrest follows months of investigation by Metro Nashville Police. Arrest papers allege that at the end of April, an officer found a flyer on Instagram advertising a car meet scheduled for May 30, 2026. Police decided to conduct a “street racing initiative” on that day. “The accounts posting the flyer had hosted previous car meets that including [sic] riotous behavior including parking lot, street, and interstate takeovers,” an arrest affidavit says. Overnight May 30 and into the next morning, police reported observing at least eight Instagram accounts post messages in group chats that “encouraged participants to do donuts, take over intersections, shoot fireworks, and block police” at multiple locations across Davidson County, per an affidavit. An officer responded to one of those locations, which was on Bakertown Road, which is just off Interstate 24 in Antioch. They described seeing “multiple vehicles driving recklessly, performing donuts in the parking lot for spectators, including pedestrians standing on foot around vehicles.” “This riotous behavior could have easily caused significant property damage and serious injury to spectators, innocent bystanders, and the business location property.”Meredith's arrest affidavitOther police responded to a location mentioned in the chats off Nolensville Pike, where they allegedly “located a group of cars driving recklessly” in a parking lot across the street from the Nashville Zoo.Investigators say they were able to determine the tie to Meredith to the account with the Instagram handle “pedalsteppas,” one of the eight accused of inciting the allegedly riotous behavior. “...This account was used to coordinate locations for participants to riot at on the night of the event and encouraged rioters to block police from interfearing [sic],” an arrest affidavit says. “Chat messages sent from the account indicated that the account user was present for the riot, commenting on police responding to locations, ending out new locations as police responded, and commenting on the number of participants at the locations.”Court records show the 22-year-old’s bond was set at $2,500, and his case is set to go before a judge on August 21.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/police-infiltrate-instagram-group-chats-nab-organizer-riotous-nashville-street-races-affidavit-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-29T18:31:50.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSRQHROKWHNAGFJJ6SSWDOUUHSU.jpg%3Fauth%3D8992794382d77059cec2898490c5215478d89b8ba49f18992662714a8641a14d%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"police-infiltrate-instagram-group-chats-to-nab-organizer-of-riotous-nashville-street-races-affidavit"},{"id":"mxgikk","title":"Inmates take control of jail after overpowering correctional staff","excerpt":"BERTIE COUNTY, N.C.

(WSMV) - One of the most dominant Tennessee Titans players in history revealed on Monday that he is suffering from a deadly disease known to many as ALS.Chris Johnson, a former NFL running back who started his career by playing six seasons for the Tennessee Titans, sat down with NFL Hall of Famer and ABC host Michael Strahan to reveal his ongoing battle with ALS. The taped interview aired during Good Morning America (GMA) on Monday.One of the most dominant Tennessee Titans players in history revealed on Monday that he is suffering from a deadly disease known to many as ALS.He said he was diagnosed with the terminal disease in 2025, at the age of 39.Over the weekend, the Titans mysteriously posted a six-minute highlight video of Johnson, leading NFL fans to wonder about the timing of the post.A legendary NFL careerJohnson ran for 9,651 yards during his 10 seasons in the NFL, and 7,965 of those came while wearing a Titans jersey. In 2009, just his second season in the NFL, Johnson joined the exclusive 2,000-yard club when he ran for 2,006 yards and averaged more than 125 yards per game.At the time, only five players had accomplished the feat. The elite group has grown since to just nine players, after Saquon Barkley ran for 2,005 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles.The Tennessee Titans released a statement from the team’s owner on Monday morning:Titans owner with statement on @ChrisJohnson28's ALS diagnosis pic.twitter.com/mxkUYJjyg0&mdash; Tennessee Titans (@Titans) June 29, 2026ALS plagues NFL playersJohnson’s ALS announcement is a familiar one in the NFL world. Although the terminal disease was made famous by a baseball player, it has become almost a side effect of playing football at the highest level. Beloved New Orleans Saint Steve Gleason became the face of the debilitating disease when NFL fans watched as the athletic safety was reduced to an immobile smiling face in a wheelchair.A worldwide push to find a cure for ALS exploded in the summer of 2014, when Pete Frates, Pat Quinn, and Anthony Senerchia started the Ice Bucket Challenge video campaign. Gleason was also a part of this drive, which raised over $220 million globally, significantly boosting research and support initiatives for ALS. What is ALS?Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rapidly progressing neurological (nervous system) disease that progressively shuts down the body, according to the ALS Association. ALS attacks nerve cells that control voluntary muscles, and when these cells die, voluntary muscle control and movement are lost, which leads to progressive weakness and disability. People living with ALS eventually lose their strength, ability to move their arms, legs, and body, and the ability to breathe on their own. In most cases, their minds remain sharp and alert.Although ALS progresses differently for each patient, the average life expectancy for people with ALS is 2 to 5 years, according to the ALS Association.GMA reported that Johnson’s diagnosis appears to be a case of “sporadic ALS,” which is the most common form of the disease. He spoke with Strahan through a speech-generated device that creates audible words from his eye movements.Strahan asked Johnson why he wanted the public to know about his condition.“If sharing my story helps even one person get diagnosed sooner, inspires more research, or gives another family hope, then it’s worth it,” Johnson explained to Strahan through the speech device.His wife, Brittany, admitted she was in a state of denial when Chris received the news from the doctor. “All I can think about was our kids and how young they are,” she said. “You’re in denial. You want it to be anything else. You want the doctors to be wrong. The life that we previously had is now a thing of the past, but we’re still hopeful.”Johnson revealed that in just one year, ALS has taken away his ability to even lift up his daughter. Despite its rapid takeover of his body, Johnson vowed to Strahan on GMA that he would not give up.“Seeing how hard these doctors and researchers are working gives me hope,” Johnson said through his speech device. “As long as they’re fighting for people with ALS, I’m going to keep fighting, too.”To learn more about ALS and the research involved in finding a cure, visit here.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/chris-johnson-legendary-titans-rb-member-2000-yard-season-club-reveals-als-diagnosis/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Tony Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-29T17:27:50.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FBS367642Y5GOHO27XMGMUBPJD4.jpg%3Fauth%3D39082ea45562e3d8a4c334764edfdf1dc02e0b8195930af1146152ba34d14cde%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"chris-johnson-legendary-titans-rb-and-member-of-2000-yard-season-club-reveals-als-diagnosis"},{"id":"fzdkw5","title":"Suspect arrested after allegedly attacking man in wheelchair in Nashville","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

But the use of the new technology is raising concerns among experts and consumers about its accuracy, as more customers report being charged hundreds of dollars for damage they say they never caused.These AI-powered systems, mostly found at large airports across the country, use high-resolution cameras mounted on arches to photograph vehicles at pickup and drop-off.Ben Winters, director of AI and privacy at the Consumer Federation of America, said the software is supposed to compare those images and flag possible damage, including scratches, dents, nicks and color differences.“There’s like thousands of photos,” Winters said. “There’s all these cameras that are taking really zoomed in photos.”He said rental car companies have adopted the technology over the past two years as more businesses look to automate the inspection process.“Everyone feels like they need to get in on it in some way,” Winters said.But he said the systems are not required to prove how accurate they are, and even minor issues – such as dirt or water droplets – can be flagged as possible damage.“One of the things that we have seen more than several times is that if there’s a little bit of dirt or if it had recently rained, there’s water droplets still on the car when you pull through, that might sort of trigger as a piece of damage,” Winters said.A damage alert 17 minutes after drop-offJessica Fields, a psychotherapist from Georgia and a longtime Hertz Gold member, rented a car at the Atlanta airport and dropped it off last July. About 17 minutes after check out, she said she received a notification that damage had been detected.“I was really mostly confused because I didn’t see any damage when I dropped off the car,” Fields said.She immediately returned to the airport and asked to see the car, hoping she could view firsthand the damage the AI technology had found. But she said the Hertz staff did not allow her to see it.“They said they don’t do that,” Fields said.She returned the next day to ask for a manager.“I was not allowed to speak with the manager,” Fields said. “They said they didn’t have a manager that could really address it or speak with me about it. They weren’t giving clear direction from corporate, and I was instructed to give an 800 number to anyone disputing damages.”Eventually, she said she was sent two AI-generated images showing two tiny orange boxes indicating small dents in the hood. She said there were no “before” photos showing what the 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe looked like when she picked it up.“I didn’t see any damage when I dropped off the car,” Fields said. “We weren’t involved in any accidents or mishaps on the road, so really just confused at what I was being charged $350 for.”The bill included $160 for two dents and $190 in administrative fees. Initially, the charge was $350, but if she paid that day, it would be lowered to $290, she said.But Fields said she could not see any visible damage in the images. When she tried to dispute the charges, she said the link provided in the email did not work.“They need to review their policy on how to dispute these AI damages because we know AI makes mistakes,” Fields said. “It wasn’t really clear that there were any avenues for dispute.”Fields said she was not part of the drop-off inspection process and did not know the company was using AI machines.For 10 months, Fields said she called, sat on hold, and emailed Hertz. She even filed a complaint with the Georgia Consumer Protection Division, the state’s consumer protection agency.“It’s been very disappointing that I was not able to speak with anyone to dispute this,” Fields said.In May, Hertz turned the unpaid damage bill over to a collection agency.A clean checkout, then a $1,500 billJessica Paciolla, a Pennsylvania small-business owner whose company sells generators, said she faced a similar situation after renting from Sixt, a luxury car rental company.Paciolla and her husband traveled to Orlando for a meeting for their generator company. A trip to the Keys was on her bucket list, so they rented a car and drove from Orlando to Key West.“We made a bunch of stops on the way,” Paciolla said. “We stopped in a couple of the Keys, and then we ended up in Key West.”They rented the car in Orlando and picked it up from a hotel. Paciolla said she had never heard of Sixt before but found the company on Google because it was close to their hotel.“We took an Uber to go get the rental,” Paciolla said. “Didn’t think anything of it. Rented the car, we looked at the car, looked fine to us.”They drove to Marathon, stayed for a couple of days, and then drove to Key West. They later drove to Miami and flew out of Fort Lauderdale, where they dropped off the rental car.When they returned the car, Paciolla said they drove through one of Sixt’s AI-powered arches, which the company calls car gates. Lights flashed on each side before they parked and talked to an employee who checked them out on an iPad.“He said everything looked good,” Paciolla said. “There would be no additional charges. And off we went.”Two days later, she received an email from Sixt saying the AI scanners had detected damage and that she needed to fill out a report.“At that point, I was back in Pennsylvania, so I would have loved to have looked at the actual car,” Paciolla said.Paciolla was sent photos from the AI scan, but she said she could not tell what damage the company was referring to. The images showed two orange boxes – one on either side of the vehicle.After filling out a report with three yes-or-no questions, she received a bill for $1,500 about a week and a half later.“I was so mad I called my husband. I was like, ‘You’re never going to believe this,’” Paciolla said.The charges were for two scratches greater than 10 centimeters. The bill included the car’s depreciation value, an appraiser fee and a $200 processing fee.“You would think for $1,500, you would have think I would have noticed some kind of damage,” Paciolla said.The car Paciolla rented was a Buick Envision, and the AI-analyzed photos showed large orange boxes around the corners of the front bumper. But Paciolla said the black-and-white images did not make clear what damage they were supposed to show.When she looked at her rental history, it showed there was already damage to one front bumper, but the damage was listed as less than 10 centimeters. The damage Sixt later billed her for was listed as greater than 10 centimeters.“If you’re going to charge me for something, you have to show me what it looked like when I left, right?” Paciolla said. “And there was no scanner at the hotel, only when I came back in.”She asked the company for a comparison between the last scan before her rental and the scan taken when she returned the car. But she said she spent months trying to reach someone at Sixt and eventually received a call warning that her bill would be sent to collections.“I would just like to talk to someone live and ask some questions,” Paciolla said. “If you’re going to send me a $1,500 bill, can I see a picture of the damage? An actual real life human picture?”Questions about AI accuracyWinters, the consumer advocate, said AI-detected images raise questions.“We don’t know how accurate they are,” Winters said. “And when the company over defers to these companies and to the AI software about whether an actual thing was damaged or not, people might get charged for something they shouldn’t be.”He said a human inspecting the car would likely never charge a customer for dirt or water droplets, but an AI system could flag those issues as damage and lead to a charge.“The mistakes do happen,” Winters said. “And it’s really a difficult thing for consumers, frankly. There should be more responsibility on the rental car platforms to make sure that they are doing this accurately.”Winters said rental car companies are not transparent about what systems they use, how those systems work and how they are integrated into the decision-making and billing process.He said that’s another reason consumers need to document the car’s condition themselves.“Just because as a consumer, if you see this fancy arch and all these millions of cameras and they’re talking about this AI technology, don’t sort of take your guard down and not take those pictures and not track it,” Winters said. “Continue to be vigilant about what you’re charged for, what happened and what the real case is, because AI does make mistakes.”Experts say drivers should take detailed photos and videos of the rental vehicle when picking it up and dropping it off.“Take video of the car and make sure if you go through an AI scanner, do not leave until you get the AI scanner report, because once you leave there’s nothing you can do,” Paciolla said.Consumers should also:Cases resolved after inquiryPaciolla’s bill is now gone. After InvestigateTV reached out to the company regarding the damage dispute, Sixt blamed a routing error and told her it was closing her claim as a “goodwill resolution.”Sixt also told InvestigateTV in a statement:“We are constantly working to enhance the rental experience by making vehicle handovers more efficient, transparent, and customer-friendly. One initiative is the use of innovative AI-supported “car gates” at select locations like airports. This technology, which is increasingly becoming an industry standard, automatically captures and documents the exterior condition of each vehicle as it enters and exits our parking areas, and these images are made available to customers. The result is greater transparency for both parties, a smoother pick-up and return process, and consistently high-quality vehicles – part of our commitment to providing a premium fleet. As advanced technology helps us, decisions are always made by human experts – if potential damage is detected, it always undergoes a human review to ensure a fair and accurate assessment.\"“We appreciate your understanding that for competitive reasons we do not comment in depth on internal operational processes or specific technologies used within our network. However, we do provide detailed information about the use of car gates on our website: https://www.sixt.com/help-center/articles/car-gate/.”Fields’ claim was also closed prior to InvestigateTV reaching out to Hertz about her bill.A Hertz spokesperson said:“Since implementation and when this rental occurred, we’ve continued to enhance our digital vehicle inspection experience based on customer feedback and operational insights. These enhancements include clearer customer communications, strengthened customer support, and more intuitive navigation on Hertz’s website support hub for customers with questions about a damage charge.“Following a thorough review of the rental and ongoing communication with the customer, the claim associated with this reservation was closed in full last month and the customer has no financial responsibility.”Both women now have resolutions: their cases are closed, and neither owes money.

(WSMV) - Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s office has confirmed that the Metro government is trying to seize the land currently earmarked for a proposed data center. His office said Monday that it is filing condemnation legislation for the property where a controversial data center has been proposed near the city’s zoo. The move follows days of public concern from Nashville Zoo officials, neighbors, environmental groups and country music star Brad Paisley over DC Blox’s proposed data center campus near the zoo.“We’re filing this condemnation legislation because Metro has a legitimate need for this property,” O’Connell’s office said in a statement. “I have carefully followed the concerns from the community and the Zoo and also remain deeply concerned about the proposed use.”Brad Paisley issues another statement on Nashville Zoo data center: ‘A monstrosity’How Metro Council could stop a proposed data center near the Nashville ZooSo, what does “condemnation legislation” mean? According to Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute:“Condemnation, in a legal context, refers to when a government exercises its eminent domain powers to seize private property for public use. Both local/state governments and the Federal Government have the authority to condemn property.\"It leaves the door open for Metro Nashville to possibly interrupt the plans for the controversial data center by acquiring the land for government purposes. Nashville Zoo data center could threaten a federally endangered species with ‘limited’ habitat nearbyWhat’s happened so far with the proposed data center near the zoo?The proposed DC Blox campus would include two data center buildings with a combined power capacity of 50 megawatts. The project has drawn opposition due to its proximity to the zoo, along with concerns about noise, environmental impacts and more.Environmental groups have said that the project could affect nearby habitats for the federally endangered Nashville crayfish, a species found only in parts of Middle Tennessee.The Metro Council has been considering options that could affect the development in Davidson County: new zoning restrictions and a temporary moratorium. Those proposals followed growing public pressure, including an online petition with hundreds of thousands of signatures and repeated pushback from Paisley, who most recently called the project a “monstrosity.”(function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();What happens next?It was not immediately clear when the condemnation legislation would be filed or how quickly Metro Council could take it up. DC Blox representatives have previously said the project is vested and that the company already has permits in hand, while also saying they want to work with the community to find a solution.The proposed zoning legislation and moratorium are scheduled for a Metro Council public hearing on July 7.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/metro-nashville-wants-seize-land-earmarked-data-center-near-zoo-heres-what-we-know/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caleb Wethington","publishDate":"2026-06-29T16:13:24.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FKLLXPVU4KFG27I4B4WSN4FA3OY.jpg%3Fauth%3D2423ab650bcafd9cdbbc1e4daa1a1125f65422c11b17b020dbdc015aa88a8f85%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"metro-nashville-wants-to-seize-the-land-earmarked-for-a-data-center-near-the-zoo-heres-what-we-know"},{"id":"rzns7m","title":"5-year-old attacked and killed by dog while at a caregiver’s home, coroner says","excerpt":"LADSON, S.C.

There was really nothing at the beach at all to help. We were just scrambling, trying to do what we could,” Bury said. “I was on the kayak right when he got pulled under.”WABC reported that Marriott Puerto Vallarta said it has “appropriate signage, as well as night patrolling and red flags to indicate caution in the area and all were and are properly in place” when the incident happened.“We extend our thoughts to the individual and their loved ones during this difficult time and are providing appropriate support in line with our policies,” the resort said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/crocodile-attacks-kills-28-year-old-popular-mexico-beach-drags-him-out-sea-reports-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Amanda  Alvarado","publishDate":"2026-06-29T15:42:44.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F5WWSTCOI6NAMVCX2A53BXFW4UE.jpg%3Fauth%3D5fccd74025398a631c92e4b2acb63c1a5cae66e4a21ca398b082eaa68ed0e174%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"crocodile-attacks-kills-28-year-old-at-popular-mexico-beach-and-drags-him-out-to-sea-reports-say"},{"id":"885ie4","title":"Witness chases hit-and-run suspect that swerved into group riding bikes, scooters in downtown Nashville, police say","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A man is facing charges after allegedly swerving multiple times into a group of people riding bikes and scooters in downtown Nashville, according to court documents. Arrest papers say the hit-and-run happened Saturday near the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge. A group of people was riding bicycles and scooters in the bike lane near 1st Avenue North when a red vehicle allegedly began swerving toward them. The car allegedly hit a woman on a bike, leaving her with bruising on her upper thigh and scrapes on her elbow. Multiple witnesses told police they narrowly escaped being hit as well. One woman described the car swerving in her direction, “causing her to fall over to avoid being hit.” She then told police she saw the car “swerve into the bike lane a second time, striking the victim.” After the hit-and-run, a witness raced after the car and caught its license plate number, which he then turned over to the police. Responding officers sent out the vehicle details over their radios, and assisting police soon tracked the vehicle down. Inside, police found 51-year-old Corey Canfield. The victim identified Canfield’s vehicle as the one that hit her, and his car also matched witness statements. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and reckless endangerment, according to the clerk of court’s website.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/witness-chases-hit-and-run-suspect-that-swerved-into-group-riding-bikes-scooters-downtown-nashville-police-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-29T15:31:42.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FLVQZIDONDBGUXBJOQU742Y3JAI.jpg%3Fauth%3Dc9d8f366fe59aa8192a951becc155573371ac9b9b36af2d88169e82b63e95130%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"witness-chases-hit-and-run-suspect-that-swerved-into-group-riding-bikes-scooters-in-downtown-nashvil"},{"id":"kn8kqv","title":"Middle Tennessee’s in a ‘heat dome.’ Here’s what that means and how it creates massive heat waves","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - With much of the country in the grip of an intense heat wave, you may have heard the cause is a massive “heat dome.”The dome is currently locked over the country, and it’s surging heat index values into the triple digits. In Middle Tennessee, it means residents can expect extreme heat and humidity, with the heat index forecasted to be as high as 105°-110°. First Alert Weather Days will be in effect through Sunday, July 5, due to the dangerous heat. BUT WHAT IS THIS HEAT DOME? HOW DOES IT WORK?A ‘heat dome’ is a weather phenomenon where a, strong and stubborn high-pressure system in the upper atmosphere acts like the lid of a pot and traps and pushes rising warm air back to the surface. For life-saving weather alerts, customized messages on conditions and forecasts, and videos detailing upcoming weather events, download the WSMV 4 First Alert Weather app for iPhone or Android.This trapped air compresses, heats up and bakes the ground underneath, often leading to prolonged, dangerous heat waves. Until the high pressure system moves away, the heat will stay trapped and the heat wave will continue.Stay with the WSMV4 First Alert Weather Team for updates as we track the blistering temperatures.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/middle-tennessees-heat-dome-heres-what-that-means-how-it-create-massive-heat-waves/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Stefano DiPietro","publishDate":"2026-06-29T15:20:14.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMJ57VOVEH5C3BLGIWG23ZGVBMU.png%3Fauth%3D1d78000ef22201d17b71b88ea3624c6336094dfd157a473da5aa487d98f7e86c%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"middle-tennessees-in-a-heat-dome-heres-what-that-means-and-how-it-creates-massive-heat-waves"},{"id":"3gwf7b","title":"A 10-year-old was handcuffed and detained in downtown Nashville.

(WSMV) - The Metro Nashville Police Department is explaining what happened after a video circulated on social media showing officers handcuffing a 10-year-old boy in downtown Nashville.Police said the child was walking alone on 4th Avenue just off Broadway at about 1 a.m. while carrying buckets and a milk crate.MNPD said officers stopped and detained the boy due to his being in violation of the city’s juvenile curfew ordinance. Police said officers were concerned for the child’s welfare and did not want him to run away.Bennie Price shared a video of a 10-year-old who was handcuffed and detained in downtown Nashville recently.Officers then called the boy’s father, who they said did not know the child was away from home or downtown. MNPD said the father was unable to pick him up, so an officer drove the child home.This incident was also discussed during a meeting of the Community Oversight Board on Tuesday, June 23. The chair of the board said that the boy allegedly drums downtown for tips and said he wanted more details, answers and accountability for this incident.An MNPD captain told the board that people taken into custody are handcuffed for officer and individual safety and to prevent running, especially when involving juveniles.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/10-year-old-was-handcuffed-detained-downtown-nashville-police-explain-why/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caleb

(WSMV) - Emergency officials are opening up a cooling center at the Wilson County Fairgrounds this week amid dangerously high temperatures. Extreme heat and humidity have arrived in Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky, with a heat index reaching as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit through the Fourth of July weekend. The conditions have prompted an Extreme Heat Warning for many Midstate counties and parts of southwest Kentucky, which is expected to remain in place through Thursday. The Wilson County Emergency Management Agency said Monday the cooling center will “provide a safe, air-conditioned place for anyone needing relief from the extreme heat.” It will be located at the Q Barn inside the Wilson County Fairgrounds, at 914 Tennessee Boulevard. Right now, it’s expected to be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through at least Thursday. Along with air conditioning, water, Gatorade and light snacks will be provided. Pets are able to stay at the center as well, but must be on a leash. WEMA Shelter signs will be located throughout the fairgrounds to help direct people to the center. Those in need of a safe place to escape the heat, or know someone else who does, can call 615-489-9129 for more information.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/dangerously-high-temperatures-prompt-opening-cooling-center-wilson-county-fairgrounds/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-29T17:29:21.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FGSMDYURY3ZDSTIO5CWHXLZQVII.png%3Fauth%3Df997882abb0af3095051aceb643a962d02b9ebcca57ca3b3c18db5d719a884e7%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dangerously-high-temperatures-prompt-opening-of-cooling-center-at-wilson-county-fairgrounds"},{"id":"wso6zm","title":"Hopkinsville launches survey on parks, pools, and recreation future","excerpt":"BOWLING GREEN, Ky.

(Aging Untold) — A Stevens Point barbershop quartet called Alternative Medicine continues performing together after one of its members suffered a stroke and spent five days in the hospital. The group includes Patty Bourgeois on tenor, Joe Larson on lead, Dennis Stephani on bass and Joel Bourgeois on baritone. A group built around barbershop Joel Bourgeois said he has been singing barbershop since he was 14, inspired by watching his father come home from practice in a better mood. The group’s goal, he said, is straightforward. “We want folks to feel the music and feel better, having heard it,” Joel Bourgeois said. Joel and Patty Bourgeois met at a barbershop competition. “We met because of barbershop. That’s just always been a thing that we share,” Patty Bourgeois said. The couple moved from Texas to Stevens Point and began recruiting members to form a new quartet. Stephani said he had to overcome nerves before joining. “I was nervous about singing in public — outside of a choir where you’re with many people,” he said. The group went on to perform at variety shows, sporting events and nursing homes. Stroke sidelines a member Joe Larson suffered a stroke that sent him to the hospital for five days. “My stroke took away my dexterity in my right hand, my handwriting went to pot and piano playing was out the window,” Larson said. Stephani said the group was concerned about Larson’s ability to continue singing. “For the most part it seemed OK, but he was slurring his words and I thought, ‘Oh, this isn’t good for a singing group,’” Stephani said. Despite the uncertainty, the group stood by Larson. “We were going to ride this train with him as far as it would go,” Joel Bourgeois said. Recovery and return Larson went through several weeks of speech and physical rehabilitation at the Portage County Health Care Center. The group performed as he left the facility. “They told me I should expect to get 98% back, so I’m over 90, I think,” Larson said. The group has since returned to performing.Read more here.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/barbershop-quartet-keeps-singing-after-members-stroke/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Dale Ryman","publishDate":"2026-06-29T14:49:13.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FA7J2OVWYNVA7DC2IHGCRJLS4TE.png%3Fauth%3Df93f880effbeb6fc35a6c5503f08edaa2c8b9bf3ea4a565a1f029df9dd4cda76%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"barbershop-quartet-keeps-singing-after-members-stroke"},{"id":"fp8fhy","title":"White Pine mother dies trying to rescue son swept into culvert, sheriff says","excerpt":"GRAINGER COUNTY, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Jurors are heading back into court Monday morning for the second week of testimony in the murder of 25-year-old Jade Benning and her unborn child. The jury will decide whether Blaise Taylor, a former collegiate football player and Tennessee Titans scout, poisoned his girlfriend in 2023. Taylor is alleged to have been the fetus’s father. It’s been a grueling trial with many long days of testimony, and jurors are heading into week two after spending half their weekend in court. Taylor faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder.Prosecutors allege that after poisoning Benning, Taylor called 911 and reported she was having an allergic reaction. Prosecutors say Benning died of acute cocaine toxicity as the defense challenges the investigation and handling of the scene.Benning was clinically dead by the time an ambulance was able to get her to the hospital. Her unborn child, a roughly 25-week-old baby girl she had planned to name Ivy, died two days later. Benning was taken off life support about a week after the incident, on her 25th birthday.Jurors heard Taylor’s 911 call last week as a key piece of evidence in the case. Another important part of the prosecution’s case was the testimony of a medical examiner about Benning’s cause and manner of death. Court is set to resume under the supervision of Judge Steve Dozier at 9 a.m.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/nashville-murder-trial-former-nfl-scout-accused-poisoning-pregnant-girlfriend-continues-into-second-week/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-29T13:54:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FUQUMPCV2TBG3HBEUFP6MRSWHFQ.jpg%3Fauth%3Dae924054a5c970ff768b6029f72eb9a290b0e57778b55481318eec9a8d2ea46e%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"live-nashville-murder-trial-of-former-nfl-scout-accused-of-poisoning-pregnant-girlfriend-continues-i"},{"id":"amhtbc","title":"Dermatologist says simple skincare routine is enough for healthy skin","excerpt":"(Aging Untold) — While social media trends can promote multi-step skincare regimens, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist says a simple three-step morning routine is enough to maintain healthy skin.

The three-step morning routine Dr. Saranya Wyles, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist, said the first step is a gentle, unscented, fragrance-free cleanser. “A lot of times, fragrances and soap can be aggravating to the skin,” she said. The second step is a vitamin C product, applied in the morning after cleansing. Wyles said vitamin C serves two purposes: it acts as an antioxidant that fights stress from daily pollution, environmental toxins and UV radiation, and it is an ingredient used to produce collagen. Consumers should look for a vitamin C product containing the active ingredient tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, or THD, which lasts longer than products made with L-ascorbic acid, Wyles said. She said vitamin C products oxidize quickly and should be purchased in small quantities that last four to six months. She added that they do not have to be expensive. “You don’t need to go to a very high price point, like more than $100, to have a good vitamin C. There are a lot of great vitamin Cs priced at about $20,” Wyles said. The third step is a moisturizer containing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, applied after the vitamin C. Wyles said sunscreen should be reapplied at midday and that sunscreen brushes and spray-on products are available for reapplication over makeup. The two-step nighttime routine Wyles said the nighttime routine is simpler: cleanse, then apply a moisturizer containing ceramides, building blocks that keep skin intact and lock in moisture. Functional skincare therapists Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said a new area called functional skincare therapy is emerging. She said functional skincare therapists work alongside functional medicine doctors to identify what is happening on the skin and which organ it may be connected to.

What holistic medicine means Holistic medicine isn’t alternative medicine — it’s complete medicine, according to Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician. “Holistic means pertaining to the whole person, so you’re treating the whole body, not just the symptoms or the diagnosis,” Rogers said. That means instead of simply prescribing a pill for high blood pressure, a holistic approach asks why the problem exists in the first place, she said. “Holistic means you’re trying to look to find out the why,” Rogers said. “There is a reason, and that’s what we’re working back from.” The four pillars Four core areas form the foundation of whole-body health, according to Rogers. “The four pillars are basically nutrition and movement and stress and sleep,” Rogers said. “You can conquer 80% with that.” The approach treats the body, mind, lifestyle and environment together — acting like detectives working to find “where did the cell go wrong?” Why stress deserves more attention than it gets Stress may be one of the hardest — and most important — factors to address. “The physiologic consequences on the body are huge,” Rogers said. “It probably needs to be, outside of nutrition, one of the biggest things to try to tackle because it’s one of the hardest things.” Practical strategies include starting the day with a focus on serving others and addressing tasks that have been avoided, such as finances, relationships and clutter, Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, said. Movement and muscle: A message older adults need to hear Building muscle and staying active are critical components of aging well, but the message hasn’t always reached older adults, Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, said. “There are a lot of older adults that weren’t encouraged enough to do exercise and still haven’t made the huge connection on building muscle and how important that is,” Ambrose said. She said making lifestyle changes such as deep breathing, yoga, Pilates or tai chi can help mitigate stress. “Maybe you change a job. You change what you do during the day. You might make some major changes that could make big differences,” Ambrose said. The return of whole-person care The holistic medicine approach reflects a broader shift back toward the kind of care that once defined medicine, Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said. “This generation is the one that had the general pracs (practitioners) that knew from head to toe,” Cradduck said. “And now we’ve specialized. And now there’s that trend in going, ‘Wait a minute, we are a whole human.’” Six key takeaways Holistic medicine treats the whole person — body, mind, lifestyle and environment — not just a diagnosis or symptom. Four pillars drive most of your health outcomes: nutrition, movement, stress management and sleep. Stress has serious physical consequences and is one of the most important — and most overlooked — factors in long-term health. Addressing avoided tasks and relationships can be a meaningful way to reduce chronic stress. Movement and muscle-building matter more than many older adults realize — and it’s never too late to start. Holistic and functional medicine represent a return to whole-person care that looks for root causes.

(Aging Untold) — At Denver International Airport, a shoeshine operator says her business is about more than a fresh pair of shoes. Jill Wright runs Executive Shine at the airport, where she said travelers are often on their own in a crowd of strangers. “When they’re traveling through the airport, they don’t know anybody,” Wright said. Meeting customers where they are Wright said her approach is simple: connect with people on their own terms. “You just have to meet people where they’re at, so wherever they’re ready to connect, that’s where we’re gonna meet them,” she said. Customers say the conversation is as much a draw as the service itself. “It is a lost art. How to be around people and how to talk, right?” one customer said. The value of face-to-face connection Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach and Aging Untold expert, said brief, face-to-face interactions carry real value and that staying socially connected is a skill that can be practiced at any age. “It really matters to feel connected and to feel like you know people, they know you, and you can share special moments together. It just adds a little spark to your day, a spark to your life,” Ambrose said. Ambrose said those moments matter to everyone involved. “I think everyone wants to feel like they’re important, that they’re seen, that they’re not invisible. So the eye contact, the smiling, the conversations mean so much to both parties,” she said. ‘A human connection company’ One passenger said the stop is a regular part of traveling through Denver. “I don’t do it well at home, and so every time I’m passing through, these guys do a great job,” the passenger said. Wright said connection is what she considers her real product. “Executive Shine is a human connection company masquerading as a shoeshine company,” she said. She said that mission extends to every person who sits in the chair. “I think especially now with the way our country is — that bringing people together is really more important than ever,\" Wright said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/building-human-connection-one-shoeshine-time/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"LeAnne Gendreau","publishDate":"2026-06-29T12:20:16.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F7ZFIDFGSAVHP5ONBHMWUBFXSYU.png%3Fauth%3D7081b39ed238c9d41497f0c0dfbf254e0f2383ce5e6ee966a7d676e3b14f8e1f%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"building-human-connection-one-shoeshine-at-a-time"},{"id":"as1a1o","title":"AI tool measures ‘heart age’","excerpt":"(Aging Untold) — Experts at the Mayo Clinic are using artificial intelligence to analyze echocardiograms, estimate a patient’s “heart age” and compare it with their actual age.

A heart age that comes back younger than a patient’s birthday is often a sign that heart-healthy habits are working. A result that comes back older is a signal to act. What to do if your heart age is older than your actual age Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician and Aging Untold expert, said the first step is to focus on the basics. “I would look at overall the foundation. Am I getting good sleep? What’s my diet look like? Am I outside walking, exercising? And am I managing my stress? All those different things are going to point to the same thing of lowering inflammation,” Rogers said. Changes do not have to be dramatic to make a difference, she said. “One of the simplest things you can do, doesn’t cost a lot of money, is just to go for a brisk walk, you know, and it’s very relaxing, and you’re getting movement and really you’re getting blood flow, so that’s one of the simplest things that you can do,” she said. Small steps, measurable results The goal is to use heart age results as motivation to make heart-healthy changes and maintain them. By addressing those factors, experts say a person can lower their heart age and improve overall health.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/ai-tool-measures-heart-age/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"LeAnne Gendreau","publishDate":"2026-06-29T12:12:35.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FI4AGCCGMONBNXK55POC7DPAJ64.png%3Fauth%3Dccbd8074c0403e9d599c83f0417e1fd7c0e290a8f898cbf1de8ab1ce95161f42%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ai-tool-measures-heart-age"},{"id":"vp5vdf","title":"Fire chief expecting 3rd child fatally struck by car while directing traffic","excerpt":"MABANK, Texas (KLTV/Gray News) - A Texas fire chief and police officer whose wife is expecting their third child died after he was hit by a car while directing traffic.Mabank Fire Chief Charlie Woodard was directing traffic Saturday night after the Mabank Rodeo when he was struck by a car, accord...","content":"MABANK, Texas (KLTV/Gray News) - A Texas fire chief and police officer whose wife is expecting their third child died after he was hit by a car while directing traffic.Mabank Fire Chief Charlie Woodard was directing traffic Saturday night after the Mabank Rodeo when he was struck by a car, according to Juan Gutierrez, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety.

(WLBT/Gray News) — A toddler and two women were found dead inside a home in Jackson on Saturday night, police said.Officers were called for a reported shooting at about 9:15 p.m. on Queen Alexandria Lane. At the scene, officers found three victims: a 26-year-old woman, a 30-year-old woman, and a 2-year-old child.According to Jackson Police Department officials, the three victims had been shot multiple times and died from their injuries.Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney described the killings as “a horrifying and a vile crime” and called on the public to assist investigators.“Not only is it a horrifying and a vile crime - you have two women assaulted, and then, as we said earlier, it takes a coward to slaughter a toddler. A defenseless toddler, just lying in their bed. So we really do need the community’s help on this one,” Brackney said.‘A horrifying and a vile crime’: Toddler, two women found dead in Jackson homeMalik Mayberry lives within walking distance of the house where the triple homicide happened. He says that last night, he and a friend were heading to the store when they saw a car leaving the house.“My friend was just pulling up, and the guy was leaving and so my friend just pulled his car up a little bit so the guy wouldn’t hit his car. Everything looked normal,” said Mayberry.But that all changed moments after they got back and police came knocking on his door. Soon, the street was filled with blue lights.“It’s hard to process knowing it’s happening right across the street from you; it’s pretty tough to deal with,” Mayberry continued. “Whatever happened, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even called for.”On Sunday afternoon, a vehicle belonging to one of the victims that had been taken during the crime was located.The vehicle, a red 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage, was recovered from Manhattan Park in north Jackson and will be processed for evidence, officials said.The car was unoccupied at the time of the recovery and police are still working to both identify and locate the suspect in this case. This is an ongoing investigation.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/horrifying-vile-crime-toddler-two-women-found-dead-home-suspect-still-large/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"WLBT Staff, Emma Nisbet, Alex Love, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-29T02:46:37.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FHK466PFBRNACBHJPBEQMAQAIR4.jpeg%3Fauth%3D15b90d598dc753240d15b272054955b8b6b97b831811987895c87fffb7076231%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"a-horrifying-and-a-vile-crime-toddler-two-women-found-dead-in-home"},{"id":"lhy81p","title":"Former White Creek High School teacher indicted for sexual relationship with student","excerpt":"A former Whites Creek High School English teacher is jailed after a 10-month investigation revealed she had a sexual relationship with a student.","content":"A former Whites Creek High School English teacher is jailed after a 10-month investigation revealed she had a sexual relationship with a student.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/kadija-kuykendall-former-white-creek-high-school-teacher-indicted-for-sexual-relationship-with-student","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:52:43.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2240%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2F79804982-bc60-425a-b98e-cc964da2f24d-BRISWEBSITEBANNER16.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"former-white-creek-high-school-teacher-indicted-for-sexual-relationship-with-student"},{"id":"5iyr1r","title":"Man survives being struck by lightning while golfing","excerpt":"WEST LINN, Ore.

(KPTV/Gray News) - A man was struck by lightning on a golf course in Oregon, according to fire officials. On Saturday afternoon, crews were sent to the Oregon Golf Club pro shop on Pete’s Mountain Road after the report of someone suffering from burns.Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Captain Ryan Stenhouse, who was part of the crew sent to the call, said club staff had brought the man inside out of the rain after he called the pro shop for help. Officials say the man had been out on the golf course by himself when a storm rolled in.Stenhouse said he remembered watching the storm come in fast at the fire station around 2:45 p.m. that afternoon. “[The golfer] had a reflection of a flash and a boom,” Stenhouse said. “Went unconscious at some point.”When the golfer came to, he called the pro shop for help.Stenhouse said the man’s injuries were also consistent with a lightning strike. When crews arrived, “he was conscious and alert. Able to speak with us,” Stenhouse said. “Certainly, as you can imagine, just visibly shaken, like what anybody would have been.”The man was taken by ambulance to a burn center, where he is expected to recover. Stenhouse said he’s served with fire crews for years, and while he’s seen thunderstorms blow through the Portland area every year, he’s never had a call like this. “I gotta be honest, this is the first time I’ve been on a lightning strike.

(WSMV) - A family was left trapped in their Cumberland County home after flash floods washed out a bridge on the only route in or out of their property.Flash floods across the state have killed at least four people in Kentucky and damaged thousands of homes.A Flash Flood Emergency was issued for Cumberland County Sunday morning and lasted until 11:15 a.m.Officials in Cumberland County have not received any reports of injuries or fatalities, but say there is extensive damage across the area with several roadways washed away and homes flooded.Nickie and Jennifer Richards say they’ve lived through flooding before, but this was the highest they’ve ever seen the water rise in the creek outside their home.“It even got up further down in our field there,” Jennifer said. “We’ve never seen it that high, and we actually had some mudslides behind the house that came pretty close.”They say the rushing water hit its crest around 11 a.m. and was several feet above the bridge that crosses over the creek to get to their home.The flood washed away the road on either side and left a pile of debris on the bridge blocking their only way out.“We actually lost our first bridge in 2010,” Nickie said. “But this here, it stayed up probably about 2-3 hours. I’ve never seen it stay up this long. It still amazes you, that much water in that little time.”But the Richards’ were still in good spirits as they worked to clear the bridge in the sweltering heat. They say they’re just happy the water didn’t flood their home or take any lives in Cumberland County.“Everybody’s helping everybody in the community right now, as to be expected with where we live,” Nickie said. “I just want to say, you know, there’s been loss of life during all this in Kentucky. Our hearts go out to them.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/that-much-water-that-little-time-kentucky-family-trapped-home-after-flash-floods/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Braden Ross","publishDate":"2026-06-29T01:41:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSQZJOJCYEJDVVLXXTSQZ6JIRDU.JPG%3Fauth%3D594fee9e759a14e70bbca45b75b255fee91dbb93976d7656f7965a9a59167101%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"that-much-water-in-that-little-time-kentucky-family-trapped-in-home-after-flash-floods"},{"id":"ljp6j4","title":"PHOTOS: Gary Sinise, Josh Cellars founder celebrate America 250, support first responders","excerpt":"Actor Gary Sinise and winemaker Joseph Carr teamed up to thank local firefighters with a special meal.","content":"Actor Gary Sinise and winemaker Joseph Carr teamed up to thank local firefighters with a special meal.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/photos-gary-sinise-foundation-josh-cellars-founder-celebrate-america-250-support-first-responders-serving-meals-forrest-gump-williamson-fire-rescue-station-harpeth-peytonsville-road-thompsons-station-tennessee","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:19:25.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2048%2F986%2F0x361%2F90%2F3be7ef02-f791-4510-b615-743d732cfefe-IMG_1157.JPEG","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"photos-gary-sinise-josh-cellars-founder-celebrate-america-250-support-first-responders"},{"id":"uk9ohq","title":"Nashville first responders to conduct heat patrols amid dangerously hot weather","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The Nashville Office of Emergency Management said it will be conducting heat patrols this week as dangerously hot temperatures impact Middle Tennessee.During the patrols, OEM personnel will check on vulnerable individuals including those who are experiencing homelessness.Starting Monday, OEM volunteers will be visiting areas where vulnerable people tend to gather and offering cold water, towels and other resources.The patrols will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.“According to NWS, feel-like temperatures will approach or exceed 105 degrees Thursday afternoon,” the OEM said.To combat the extreme heat, the OEM recommends these tips:Stay hydratedAvoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the dayWear loose-fitting clothes and a wide-brimmed hatFirst Alert Weather Days: Extreme heat, humidity prompt extension through next SundayThe OEM is also reminding people to never leave children or pets in parked cars, even for a short period of time as temperatures can rise quickly.OEM tips for protecting children from the heat:Stay hydrated: Encourage children to drink plenty of water, even before they feel thirsty. Dress lightly: Light-colored, loose-fitting clothing can help children stay cool. Seek shade and avoid peak heat: Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day and seek shade when outdoors. Supervise children around water: Ensure children are supervised when near pools, lakes, or other bodies of water. Never leave children unattended in vehicles: Like pets, children can quickly overheat in parked cars. Be aware of heat exhaustion and heatstroke: Signs of heat exhaustion in children include flushed skin, headache, dizziness, and nausea. Heatstroke can be more severe and requires immediate medical attention. OEM tips for protecting pets from the heat:Ensure pets have constant access to water, especially during hot weather. Adding ice to the water can help keep it cool. Avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day (typically 10 AM to 4 PM). opt for walks in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Make sure pets have access to shaded areas when outdoors. A well-ventilated doghouse or a shady spot under a tree can provide relief from the sun. Hot pavement can burn paws, so test the surface with your hand before letting your pet walk on it. Consider using pet booties or walking on the grass instead. Temperatures inside a parked car can rise rapidly, even with the windows cracked, and lead to heatstroke. Excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, and unsteady gait are signs of heatstroke. If you notice these symptoms, move your pet to a cooler area and contact your veterinarian immediately“Additionally, OEM encourages residents to check on the elderly and vulnerable members of the community. Those who are elderly, have chronic illnesses, or lack access to air conditioning are at a higher risk for heat-related illnesses,” the OEM said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/29/nashville-first-responders-conduct-heat-patrols-amid-dangerously-hot-weather/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Kassidy Brown","publishDate":"2026-06-29T01:27:12.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMZ2L7UZEDFG7LB2WP244WCYEGQ.png%3Fauth%3D320de205b7911ffc509b14d3debf554e40f67af617a02e8161e85c4aff80a4ba%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-first-responders-to-conduct-heat-patrols-amid-dangerously-hot-weather"},{"id":"u266fh","title":"19-year-old found dead after not returning from a boat party with friends, authorities say","excerpt":"CARTER COUNTY, Ky.

(Gray News) - More than 100 dead dogs were found at an animal rescue shelter in California.The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office recovered dead dogs, many with gunshot wounds, in dig sites at Miranda’s Rescue in Fortuna, according to a press release.The sheriff’s office searched the grounds and buildings associated with the animal rescue and founder Shannon Miranda for evidence related to animal cruelty and fraud.Investigators recovered remains of 117 dogs from two dig sites and an additional 21 canine skulls, hundreds of bones and six loose microchips at another nearby dig site connected to the animal rescue.Examinations conducted on site by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and forensic veterinarians preliminarily determined that gunshot wounds were the cause of death for many of those dogs.The remaining 47 dead dogs were not examined on site due to time constraints. However, all 117 dead dogs were taken in as evidence.Analysts are reviewing data to identify dogs that were microchipped.Investigators located additional dead dogs in the same field but did not remove them due to their advanced stage of decomposition.Authorities also located an area inside a barn where they believe the dogs were likely killed. More than 600 dog collars were found in the area.“This investigation is just getting started. There is a tremendous amount of data to process, witnesses to interview, and evidence to examine,” Sheriff William F. Honsal said in a statement. “The determination all of these professionals showed while working through this horrific scene is something we will not forget,” he added.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/28/horrific-scene-117-dead-dogs-many-with-gunshot-wounds-found-no-kill-animal-rescue/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Akim Powell","publishDate":"2026-06-28T21:31:18.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FK4Y4WM2OT5BCFOFTTSSSGP3LW4.jpg%3Fauth%3Dbe88941176477dbb16c4afc589940d6ffdf20f80f1a69dfe217ae27aa7e30db7%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"horrific-scene-117-dead-dogs-many-with-gunshot-wounds-found-at-no-kill-animal-rescue-shelter"},{"id":"lhg5xd","title":"‘Remembering The Legend: The Legacy of Pat Summitt’ honors legendary Lady Vols coach","excerpt":"KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

Seven of them are considered major cases, making a significant decision all but guaranteed.The remaining cases fall into three main categories: elections, presidential power, and transgender rights.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Supreme Court lets Trump end deportation protections for Haitians, SyriansElectionsTwo election cases are still pending.The first focuses on whether states can accept mail-in ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive later. The case stems from Mississippi, which allows postmarked ballots to be received up to five business days after Election Day. A ruling could impact vote-by-mail deadlines in at least 15 states.The second election case centers on campaign finance law and whether a federal law limiting how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates violates the First Amendment.Presidential powerThree cases deal with presidential power. Two stem from President Donald Trump's attempts to fire members of federal boards.One involves Lisa Cook, a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The other involves Rebecca Slaughter, a commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission. Federal law requires any president to have cause to fire a member of either board.The third presidential power case involves Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants and people in the U.S. on a temporary visa.Transgender rightsTwo cases center on transgender athletes, stemming from Idaho and West Virginia. Both states have bans on transgender women and girls competing in sports. The athletes in both cases argue the state bans violate Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination at schools and school activities.The Supreme Court will begin announcing decisions Monday at 10 a.m. ET. It is not known in advance which cases the court will hand down or how many will be decided on a given day.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/politics/supreme-court/eight-cases-await-supreme-court-ruling-as-major-opinion-day-arrives-monday","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"Stephanie Liebergen","publishDate":"2026-06-29T12:15:12.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F11d8b8e%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F1024x538%2B0%2B73%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F75%252F99%252F5dea40424f3eb20f20100d605a0a%252Fap23296580845887.jpg","slug":"eight-cases-await-supreme-court-ruling-as-major-opinion-day-arrives-monday"},{"id":"cxp9z7","title":"Grief and optimism clash in scramble to locate survivors 4 days after Venezuela earthquakes","excerpt":"Local and international rescue teams raced against the clock to pull survivors from the rubble in Venezuela on Sunday, four days after two powerful earthquakes shook the northern state of La Guaira.The government reported 1,450 dead from the quakes Sunday afternoon as it faced growing criticism f...","content":"Local and international rescue teams raced against the clock to pull survivors from the rubble in Venezuela on Sunday, four days after two powerful earthquakes shook the northern state of La Guaira.The government reported 1,450 dead from the quakes Sunday afternoon as it faced growing criticism from Venezuelans that its response was inadequate and overshadowed by civilian-led efforts to rescue people buried under collapsed buildings. Thousands more have been reported missing.Even as the likelihood of finding people alive diminished with each passing hour, rescuers continued to free some survivors from mountains of debris, offering anguished families a sliver of hope. The first 48 to 72 hours after a natural disaster are crucial to rescue efforts, though survival can be extended if people have access to food and water.RELATED STORY | American killed in Venezuela earthquakes, State Department saysVenezuela's acting President Delcy Rodrguez said Sunday night that even as the threshold passed, the search for survivors would continue. More than 2,600 rescue workers from around the world had arrived with trained search dogs and machinery, the government said.Its been incredibly hard work, but were going strong, said Jason Mercano, a civilian who was able to communicate with family buried under the rubble and was working with rescue teams to pull them out.We've never given up hope, he added.More than 770 buildings partially or totally collapsedStill, many Venezuelans are struggling to hold onto hope in an increasingly desperate situation. The one-two punch of 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that hit last Wednesday have left a trail of devastation. The U.N. said up to 6.8 million of Venezuela's nearly 30 million residents may be affected by the earthquakes.A layer of dust coated coastal communities, and as the stench of decomposing bodies spread, more people began to wear masks.Authorities said Sunday that more than 770 buildings had totally or partially collapsed from the earthquakes, twice as many as were reported destroyed or damaged on Friday. The risk of further damage remains as aftershocks continued to shake Venezuela; quakes measuring 4.2 and 4.5 hit Sunday morning.But rescue efforts in La Guaira  the hardest-hit area  appeared significantly more organized on Sunday as international rescue missions arrived en masse. In previous days, residents there had expressed frustration and anger about the level of response.The government reported on state television that more than 14,000 members of the military and police are now patrolling La Guaira state, where access is blocked and special permits are required to enter.Because of the chaos and shoddy cellphone service since the earthquakes, many Venezuelans have turned to non-governmental digital databases to report their loved ones as missing. More than 50,000 people were reported missing on one such database, though it is unclear how many have been found.Optimism and grief mark La GuairaMoments of optimism contrasted sharply with grief on Sunday.Masses of people gathered around a mountain of debris watching as rescue crews from the U.S., France and Venezuela pulled a man and his son from a crack in the concrete, covered in dust and almost unresponsive. Helmet-clad teams pulled them on a black tarp and passed the two carefully through the crowd to an ambulance to hydrate them through an IV.Rescue teams and onlookers burst into applause in a moment of relief, then continued working.In another part of La Guaira, Helen Guedez and her mother were reeling. They had spent days trying to save her father Jess from their apartment.She felt a swell of hope when rescue teams from the U.S. had come to inspect the building and confirmed to them that her dad was still alive under the rubble. But they told the family that the building was too unstable to enter and rescue him, she said.They left the scene, but Guedez said would continue to try and rescue their father without their assistance. She said they were now working with civilian volunteers and local miners to get him out.We're not going to give up,\" said Guedez. The rest of the team is willing to continue. They know there's another way to get him out and they said they're going to keep working until the very end.RELATED STORY | 'Earthquake time bomb': Why back-to-back quakes in Venezuela aren't uncommonDespite the overwhelming demand for medical services and the shortage of supplies in Venezuelas public health system, Domingo Luciani Hospital in the capital of Caracas coped with an influx of patients thanks to a flood of donations.We have tons of patients, but thank god, people have responded by bringing us a great deal of supplies, said Leomery Prez, an anesthesiologist at the hospital.Authorities said they had treated more than 3,100 wounded people, including many with crush injuries.A big challenge for Venezuela's acting presidentThe disaster poses a significant challenge for acting President Rodrguez, the former vice president who took office in January after the U.S. capture and removal of then-President Nicols Maduro.Since then, the U.S. government has played in increasingly powerful role in dictating the future of the South American nation. Venezuela has faced economic disarray for more than a decade, and many people reject the legitimacy of the political movement Rodrguez represents.The country now faces an even more difficult circumstances, said Ronal Rodrguez, researcher for the Bogot-based Venezuelan Observatory at the University of Rosario.There is political interference by the United States, the operational incompetence of a government that has driven the country into a complex humanitarian crisis and, all of the sudden, an earthquake in a place that lacks human capital and short-term resources to address the situation, he said.Amy Pope, director general from International Organization for Migration, warned that displacement from Venezuela  where crisis has forced 8 million people to migrate over the past decade  was likely to increase as people seek safety.Rodrguez on Sunday said she was setting up a special commission to assess the damage to homes to confirm whether it's safe for people sleeping on the streets to return, adding that her government would also examine infrastructure damage. The search for life in the destruction, she said, would also continue.Today we recovered people who are still alive, she said. We always maintain hope.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/world/south-america/grief-and-optimism-clash-in-scramble-to-locate-survivors-4-days-after-venezuela-earthquakes","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-29T11:59:34.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Fc7b8fa2%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F8640x4536%2B0%2B612%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F67%252F26%252F86990e744ad4a1b1b469d6c53676%252Fap26178489837358.jpg","slug":"grief-and-optimism-clash-in-scramble-to-locate-survivors-4-days-after-venezuela-earthquakes"},{"id":"s5f2ou","title":"Gabby Petito's family travels to Nashville to raise awareness about domestic violence","excerpt":"Gabby Petito's family members traveled to Nashville to share her story and raise awareness about domestic violence at a benefit event featuring a local musician and advocates.Click here for detailed information on the events surrounding Gabby Petito's death in 2021 and the investigation and legal...","content":"Gabby Petito's family members traveled to Nashville to share her story and raise awareness about domestic violence at a benefit event featuring a local musician and advocates.Click here for detailed information on the events surrounding Gabby Petito's death in 2021 and the investigation and legal action that followed. The Break the Silence benefit, held at JBJ's Sunday, was put on by organizations including the Joseph Family Foundation and the Gabby Petito Foundation.Petito's parents and stepparents attended the event, where they shared some of Gabbys artwork, screened a documentary about her death, and took part in a panel discussion on domestic violence.\"Losing a child is the worst thing that any parent could ever look at. We grieve every single day,\" said Tara Petito, Gabbys stepmother.The family said they hope to spread the word about red flags to look for if a loved one may be in an abusive situation.\"One of the major ones for Gabby was isolation,\" Tara Petito said.Advocates with the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence attended the event Sunday.They told me isolation and a pattern of control by a significant other are major red flags for potential violence.Country and Americana recording artist Caryn Dixon performed at the event and shared her own story of surviving an abusive relationship.\"I suddenly was, you know, 10-15 years into a very toxic situation, I had quit music completely,\" Dixon said.Dixon said she primarily suffered emotional abuse, which can be especially difficult to recognize.\"Emotional abuse goes on for so long, hidden too, because it's a lot harder to identify. So that's what I mostly went through,\" Dixon said.She said leaving was not a simple process.\"I mean, I tried to leave 7 times, I think,\" Dixon said.Dixon eventually left and returned to performing and writing music, including a song partly inspired by her own experiences.\"Bird In A Cage is a story of a woman coming out of an abusive situation, realizing she's in an abusive situation, and then fleeing and starting her life over,\" Dixon said.According to recent data from the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence from January to October of 2025, at least 37 Tennesseans were murdered in domestic violence-related incidents.If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, click here for a list of resources available to get help in the Nashville area.You can also call 1-800-799-SAFE, which serves as a nation-wide hotline to help people experiencing domestic violence.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.

Like I was standing next to Lee Ann Womack today, I mean one of the greatest female vocalists in country music history, and to my right is Carrie Underwood,\" laughed Cody Johnson.\"The fact that you can get George Strait to show up to something says a lot,\" added Luke Combs. \"To get him to leave Texas and be in Nashville for something like this, it says everything you need to say.\"\"Where he influenced me is stay with what you know, write about what you know, be confident in what you know,\" said Luke Bryan. \"Tell stories of your life because fans relate to that kind of stuff.\"\"[His music] has put an idea in my head of staying honest, staying true, being authentic.

No charges have been filed.A message seeking comment was left for the shelters founder, Shannon Miranda.RELATED STORY | US animal shelters near no-kill goal, reach highest adoption levels since 2020In a statement posted to the shelters website on June 18, Miranda said that recent media coverage and online commentary have presented an incomplete and, in some cases, inaccurate picture of our work.At Mirandas Rescue, our mission is to save as many animals as we safely canalways balancing compassion for animals with our responsibility to protect families, children, other pets, and the public, Miranda wrote.The sheriffs office said it started investigating the shelter after receiving credible information in April regarding allegations of felony animal abuse, animal cruelty, fraud, and conspiracy.Mirandas Rescue collects fees from shelter transfers, as well as donations that it says helps cover the costs of food, housing, veterinary care, medications, facility expenses and staffing.An affidavit from an earlier search of the property said that the sheriffs office was tipped off by a pair of animal advocates, one of whom owns property adjoining the shelter and used trail cameras to monitor activity near an alleged burial site.The advocates later went onto shelter property and dug up dog remains, the affidavit said.This investigation is just getting started, Honsal said in a statement. There is a tremendous amount of data to process, witnesses to interview, and evidence to examine.Investigators using ground-penetrating radar found 117 intact remains in various stages of decomposition buried in an open field, the sheriffs office said.They X-rayed 70 of the remains on site and found evidence of bullet fragments in many of them. The cause of death for many of those animals appeared to be gunshot wounds, the sheriffs office said.Investigators also found additional remains in advanced stages of decomposition, the sheriffs office said.FROM THE ARCHIVES | Senior dog adopted by senior citizen gains new life and new fameThe sheriffs office said hundreds of dogs were transferred or turned over to Mirandas Rescue by private citizens and animal shelters.In his statement, Miranda said, Mirandas Rescue is a no-kill rescue. We do not euthanize animals simply to make space.However, Miranda wrote, there are rare circumstances in which euthanasia may be necessary  when an animal is suffering from a terminal condition or when it poses a serious, ongoing danger to people or other animals.In those situations, we make the most humane and responsible decision we can, always with public safety and animal welfare in mind.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/crime/at-least-117-dead-dogs-found-in-horrific-scene-at-california-no-kill-shelter","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-28T19:13:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F5207c23%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F8158x4283%2B0%2B579%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F53%252Ff8%252Faea196d24ab3b66edd2b18f745dc%252Fap26175025420029.jpg","slug":"at-least-117-dead-dogs-found-in-horrific-scene-at-california-no-kill-shelter"},{"id":"p5gpfs","title":"Two rescues reported following Flash Flood Emergency in Cumberland County, Ky","excerpt":"CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Tenn.

More significant rainfall is expected to push east through parts of Kentucky and Tennessee on Sunday.One person died in Jackson County and three others died in Madison County  including a man and woman who officials said drowned in a home that was underwater, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed Saturday.Beshear also declared a state of emergency and urged people to be cautious and avoid unnecessary driving.When it gets dark, its going to get even worse. So please, do not drive after dark if you can avoid it, Beshear said in a video posted to X Saturday afternoon.One motorist was killed after being swept away by flash flooding, Beshear said.RELATED STORY | Why floods are becoming more dangerous and what we can do to prevent themThe severe weather is the latest in a history of catastrophic flooding in Kentucky, including deadly flash floods in early 2025 when more than a months worth of rain deluged much of the state in less than 24 hours. In 2022, dozens of people in Kentucky were killed when unprecedented flooding inundated houses and swept some from their foundations.Some parts of the state were drenched with 10 to 12 inches of rain in the 48-hour window between Friday and Saturday.While the same areas are only expected to get one to two inches of rain Sunday, the saturated ground could trigger more flooding as the weekend comes to an end.Six counties  Bullitt, Cumberland, Madison, Meade, Mercer and Spencer  have declared local states of emergency, according to state officials.Roads across Cumberland County are not safe for driving, county Judge Luke King said.For those who are not required to be out, please stay in, King said in a Facebook post Sunday morning.This isnt a restriction of your personal freedoms, he added. Its a sincere request to help reduce the number of situations where our first responders and local government teams have to risk their lives to save someone else.Precautionary evacuations are underway in one part of Bullitt County, which was hit particularly hard by Saturdays flooding.Officials are closely monitoring a dam that recently experienced a landslide. The dam is holding and theres no indication of an imminent failure, county emergency management officials said on Facebook Saturday.The Million Church in Richmond appeared to have collapsed, according to a video. Earlier in the day, the church announced its Saturday service was canceled due to the storm, adding: Praying everyone stays safe.Photos provided by police in Richmond  about 30 miles south of Lexington  show officers blocking off flooded streets and checking on stranded vehicles almost entirely submerged by rising floodwaters.The two people who died from suspected drowning in Richmond were trapped in the basement of a flooded home, police said.The residence was already underwater when police and fire officials arrived at the scene and could not make contact with anyone inside, police said. Rescue teams were later able to enter and found the bodies of a man and a woman, the agency said.Major intersections in the city are flooded, Richmond Mayor Robert Blythe said. He has been receiving calls from residents concerned about their neighbors whose homes are filling with rising water, Blythe told CNN.Richmond, to a certain extent, had been spared from the tragic weather affecting the surrounding area in recent years, the mayor said. It appears to be our turn, he added.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Camp Mystic files for bankruptcy nearly a year after deadly floodElsewhere in Madison County, significant roads are underwater, with five search and rescue teams on the ground, the governor said.At least 12 roads across the state are flooded and inaccessible, while numerous bridges in counties like Jessamine have been entirely wiped out, the governor said.Dozens of rescues have been made, Beshear said. The states emergency management, state police and swift water rescue teams are responding to emergency requests in local communities, he added.We know weve already lost at least a handful of Kentuckians.

Two others were injured and transported to hospital, the service said.RELATED STORY | Fast-moving fire in Utah, the largest in the US, spreads overnight, leading to more evacuationsColorado Gov. Jared Polis declared a disaster emergency Saturday in Mesa County in reaction to the blaze, which he said had crossed into Colorado from Utah, and authorized the states National Guard to support response efforts.Utahs governor announced last week firework restrictions for Fourth of July, saying a historic drought, hundreds of wildfires and unprecedented fire behavior have stretched Utahs firefighting resources to the brink.Utahns love celebrating the Fourth of July with family, friends and fireworks. I do too. But this year is different, Cox said. We are seeing fire behavior that even our most experienced firefighters say theyve never witnessed before.The fire threat is so severe that the National Weather Service office in Salt Lake City issued its first-ever particularly dangerous situation red flag warning, which covers central and southern Utah and includes the Cottonwood Fire, the states largest active blaze.This is a temporary measure for an extraordinary year, Cox said of the fireworks ban. It protects lives and homes while allowing local leaders, working alongside their fire officials, to identify areas where fireworks can be used safely.In some municipalities, local leaders working alongside fire officials will designate approved areas where fireworks can still be used under safer conditions.The Cottonwood Fire, burning through the Fishlake National Forest east of Beaver, Utah, has grown to more than 92,000 acres as of Saturday morning, an area bigger than Salt Lake City, in just a few days and remains 0% contained as of Saturday night. Evacuations are in place for the fire, which state and local officials believe is likely Utahs most destructive and costly wildfire on record. Its cause is still under investigation.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Yes, wildfires are actually becoming more intense and more common, study saysA total of 1,066 personnel are battling the Cottonwood Fire, where crews have been warned to stay vigilant of the dangerous and unpredictable fire behavior.We always have safety first out there, and as soon as we see things or we start getting feelings, weve told the guys they dont like it, disengage, get to a safe place, Alyssa Mason, a spokesperson for the fires emergency management team, told CNN affiliate KSL.State officials also warned that anyone whose illegal actions ignite a wildfire could face steep criminal charges and substantial civil liability for the damage caused.Beloved cabins and lifelong memories reduced to ashesAs officials continue assessing the ongoing damage, the full toll of the Cottonwood Fire remains unknown. But across the Beaver Mountain community, residents are already grieving the loss of cherished cabins and family retreats that held generations of memories.For Evan Stapley, Beaver Mountain was more than a weekend getaway  it was woven into his familys history.To me, nothings more beautiful than Beaver Mountain in the fall, Stapley told CNN affiliate KSL. The aspen yellow, and you get the reds in there and all the greens. There is nothing more beautiful in the world.Now, the cabin where those memories were made has been reduced to ash. Stapley said he learned it had burned in the Cottonwood Fire after a friend sent him video of the spot where it once stood.I saw that and went, Thats just unbelievable, he told KSL. The fire must have moved so fast and twirled around in there and just took it  I cried, he added. Ive got too many memories, too many memories of that place.The fire also dealt a devastating blow to Eagle Point Ski Resort, where several buildings were damaged or destroyed. In a Facebook post, owner Shane Gadbaw said the resort will remain closed as it recovers from what he called a catastrophe.We are thankful that to our knowledge, there have been no human casualties from the fire, Gadbaw said in a Facebook post.Residents gathered Friday in Piute County as the Cottonwood Fire pushed closer, with flames visible in the distance and smoke settling across the valley, to hear updates and discuss emergency response plans, KSTU reported.During the meeting, Nick Schenk of Great Basin Team 5, one of the first responders who fought the blaze Monday, delivered an emotional account of the battle against the fire.We did everything we absolutely could. We called for every bit of help we could find. And about all we could do was get people out of the way of it, Schenk told KSTU.Photos shared by the resort Thursday showed a handful of lodges still standing amid a landscape of blackened trees.Farther north, the Iron Fire near Eureka, Utah, has burned more than 40,000 acres after forcing evacuations earlier this week. Nearby, the Cherry Fire, sparked by lightning Friday morning, has already grown to more than 30,000 acres.Another blaze, the Wild Goose Fire, ignited near Holden on Friday, adding to a growing list of active wildfires across Utah. State fire officials estimated by Saturday evening it had burned over 10,000 acres as crews worked to assess and contain its spread.The-CNN-Wire &  2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Mauricio Dubón’s one-out double in the second was his only blemish.Devers, a three-time All-Star who drew national criticism when he balked at leaving for a pinch-runner against Miami last Sunday, hit a solo homer off starter Bryce Elder in the second inning and a three-run drive in the third, giving him 800 career RBIs.Webb (5-5) walked two and retired the final 16 batters he faced, improving to 5-1 against the Braves.

(WOWT/Gray News) - Two young brothers from Nebraska are traumatized after police say they were abducted off the street by armed strangers and threatened with harm if they didn’t help with an alleged revenge plot.Brothers Sky and Sevyn, ages 9 and 10, were walking a path they regularly use to get to the convenience store near their home last Saturday when Omaha Police say two armed strangers ordered them into a car. Prosecutors described the incident as “any parent’s worst nightmare.”The suspects in the case were identified by police as 19-year-old Juantez Ruffin and 18-year-old James Barnes. Investigators say at the time of the incident, they were armed with an AR-15 and other weapons and threatened to hurt Sky and Sevyn.Authorities say Ruffin and Barnes told the brothers that someone had “snitched” on the suspects’ friend and that the person was going to “pay with blood.” They then allegedly told the boys they needed to knock on the door of the person who “snitched” and ask to use their phone before taking the phone and running.Police pulled the car over after a caller told officers the car was following him. Sky and Sevyn were brought home, physically unharmed but traumatized by the incident, according to their mother, Zonetta Amerson.“I was scared I was not going back home,” said Sky when asked how he felt during the incident. “I don’t want to go outside no more because I’m scared it’s gonna happen again.”“I can’t go to the store no more,” Sevyn said. When asked what he is afraid of, he said, “Getting into the same incident again.”Amerson is worried about the psychological impact the incident may have on her sons. She says the boys refuse to go to the store on their own now.“It’s just real traumatizing,” she said. “You know, they’re young, and they’re going to have to think about that when they get older for the rest of their life. I’m scared for them to go outside now.”The mother also addressed the suspects directly.“Now y’all sitting in jail, and y’all going to be there for a very, very long time,” Amerson said. “And I’m going to make sure ‘cause I’ll be at every court day.”She plans to have security cameras installed around the family’s house in the next few days.Ruffin and Barnes face charges of kidnapping and felony child abuse. They are being held on $10 million bond. Police say neither of the suspects knew Sky, Sevyn or their family.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/28/brothers-allegedly-abducted-off-street-by-armed-strangers-left-traumatized/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Zena Taher, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-28T05:58:44.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FWRS4ZKNLQFA2FBNLYQDPA5O5YI.png%3Fauth%3D19e2bb56bf83ad9f476b5b590492ea0592cd5726f219591aa5859244bb61c949%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"brothers-allegedly-abducted-off-the-street-by-armed-strangers-left-traumatized"},{"id":"kskh4g","title":"Tennessee judge halts Tennessee Health Dept. from sharing immigrant children's records","excerpt":"A Tennessee judge has temporarily blocked the state health department from sharing information about immigrant children enrolled in a medical program.","content":"A Tennessee judge has temporarily blocked the state health department from sharing information about immigrant children enrolled in a medical program.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/tennessee-judge-halts-tennessee-health-dept-from-sharing-immigrant-childrens-records-childrens-special-services-the-chancery-court-ice","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T19:32:22.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F919%2F986%2F3x0%2F90%2Fa04cb73b-68c2-4326-91a4-07bac158e199-NashvilleICEagents31.png","slug":"tennessee-judge-halts-tennessee-health-dept-from-sharing-immigrant-childrens-records"},{"id":"90qvks","title":"Prosecution rests in trial for ex-Titans scout accused of spiking pregnant girlfriend’s drink with cocaine","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The prosecution rested its case Saturday in the murder trial of Blaise Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans scout accused of poisoning and killing his pregnant girlfriend.Taylor is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Jade Benning, who died from acute cocaine toxicity. Prosecutors allege he spiked her drink with a lethal amount of cocaine. Benning was pregnant at the time of her death.Taylor was arrested and charged in March 2024, about a year after Benning’s death, following an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.Key witnesses take the standMuch of the fifth day of trial centered on testimony from lead detective Adam Reese. The defense questioned Reese about Benning’s previous drug use and allegations of evidence tampering, while the prosecution focused its questioning on Taylor’s previous relationships.Following Reese, Apple Dennie — one of three former girlfriends Taylor had previously impregnated — testified. Dennie said Taylor was supportive when she chose to have an abortion in 2017.Dennie also testified that a second woman Taylor impregnated, Xavier Winford, resisted getting an abortion. According to Dennie’s testimony, Taylor panicked and tried to convince Dennie to purchase abortion pills on his behalf. Winford ultimately terminated the pregnancy.Mother testifies about Taylor’s reaction to pregnancyBenning’s mother, Bridget Burke, was the final witness called by the prosecution.Burke testified that when Benning became pregnant and decided to keep the child, Taylor was not supportive.“If she had the baby he wanted nothing to do with it. He did not want it to have his name, and he did not want the child to ever know who he was,” Burke said.Burke also addressed her grief over her daughter’s death.“She was my life. Everything I did was for her,” Burke said.Blaise Taylor trial hears 911 call, testimony about evidence from Jade Benning’s apartmentPhotos show ‘black hole’ former NFL scout painted for nursery night of pregnant girlfriend’s suspected murderToxicologist, co-worker also testifyA toxicologist testified about the levels of cocaine found in Benning’s system. A co-worker of Taylor’s also took the stand, saying Taylor came to work acting completely normal while Benning spent a week on life support before her death.The defense pushed back on that characterization.“We don’t necessarily share trauma, or deep personal issues, with our co-workers,” lead defense attorney Letitia Quinones Hollins said.The state rested its case just before 5 p.m. Saturday. Court is expected to resume Monday.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/28/prosecution-rests-trial-ex-titans-scout-accused-spiking-pregnant-girlfriends-drink-with-cocaine/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Sarah Allen","publishDate":"2026-06-28T02:10:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSWPTGYAQ2JHZTEDBMD7OPKOCBY.png%3Fauth%3D6798663899092604e8b618d34164fd9515f1ce3c84e7132618ff1c3376fecee8%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"prosecution-rests-in-trial-for-ex-titans-scout-accused-of-spiking-pregnant-girlfriends-drink-with-co"},{"id":"soscoo","title":"Day 3: Investigators walk through apartment, phone data in Blaise Taylor Trial","excerpt":"On the third day of the trial of former Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor, who is accused of poisoning his pregnant girlfriend Jade Benning.","content":"On the third day of the trial of former Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor, who is accused of poisoning his pregnant girlfriend Jade Benning.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/day-3-investigators-walk-through-apartment-phone-data-in-blaise-taylor-trial-jade-benning-murder-trial","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T18:06:36.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F1340%2F986%2F0x1%2F90%2Febff826d-5a84-4861-aa15-3587bf79ca84-Screenshot20260625125234.png","slug":"day-3-investigators-walk-through-apartment-phone-data-in-blaise-taylor-trial"},{"id":"880flg","title":"Fans re-enter Nissan Stadium for Alan Jackson farewell show after weather delay ends","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(First Alert 4/Gray News) – An infant was killed in a shooting in St. Louis, and a 10-year-old was believed to have pulled the trigger, according to St. Louis City Police Spokesperson Mitch McCoy.Police said the 7-month-old, later identified as Kiyomi Parker, was shot the afternoon of June 25 in the Baden neighborhood.Officers said they did a “scoop and go” on the baby, grabbing her from the scene and putting her in the backseat of a police car to rush her to a hospital.The officer in the backseat continued life-saving measures while other officers blocked traffic to try to get the infant to the hospital faster.She was pronounced dead at the hospital.The 10-year-old was taken into custody the next day and charged with murder.Based on First Alert 4’s research, it appears this is the youngest child in Missouri’s history to be charged with murder.Missouri did not have a minimum age to charge a child with a serious felony, including murder, until 2024, when a state law set the minimum age for a minor to be certified as an adult to be 12 years old.Police also said that a 19-year-old man was questioned and arrested.

(WTOC/Gray News) - A man died Wednesday evening when his small aircraft went down in Georgia.Tony Zorn was operating the aircraft alone when it crashed just before 6 p.m., according to Tattnall County Sheriff Kyle Sapp. Multiple agencies responded to the scene.The FAA is still determining whether the aircraft was a plane or an ultralight vehicle, which will affect how the crash is investigated. If the aircraft is classified as an ultralight, the investigation will be handled by local law enforcement rather than federal authorities.Crash detailsAccording to the Tattnall County Sheriff’s Office, Tattnall County 911 received a report of a crash on Highway 144 west of Glennville in the Tyson community.The Tattnall County coroner confirmed the crash was fatal. The pilot, identified as Tony Zorn of Lyons, Georgia, died in the crash. Authorities said he was the only person on board and that his family has been notified.According to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airmen Registry, Zorn was issued a private pilot certificate on Feb. 26, 2020.FAA working to determine whether aircraft was an ultralightIt remains unclear who will ultimately investigate the crash, as the FAA said it is working to determine whether the vehicle involved was a registered aircraft or an unregistered ultralight vehicle.In a statement to WTOC, the FAA said, “We are trying to determine if it was a registered aircraft or an unregistered ultralight vehicle. An ultralight vehicle does not meet the criteria necessary to be defined as an aircraft. The FAA defers the investigation of the accident to local law enforcement.”An ultralight is a lightweight, typically single-seat vehicle flown for recreation or as a hobby. A pilot’s license is not required to fly an ultralight because it is considered a vehicle, not an aircraft.To be considered an ultralight, the vehicle must weigh less than 254 pounds and cannot fly faster than 55 knots, or about 60 miles per hour. If it meets those specifications, it is not registered with the FAA.Because of that, neither the FAA nor the National Transportation Safety Board investigates ultralight crashes. If the craft involved in this crash is determined to be an ultralight, the investigation would be turned over to local authorities.“It’s a vehicle, it’s not an aircraft,” said Benjamin Behnke, a pilot and aviation expert. “Since it’s considered a vehicle, and it’s not registered to the FAA, it’s a vehicle to that state and that’s the reason why the FAA won’t touch it.”The NTSB has told WTOC it will not be investigating the incident as the craft appears to be an ultralight, but the FAA has not confirmed whether the investigation has been turned over to local law enforcement.Community remembers ZornCommunity members took to social media to remember Zorn, who was known for his frequent low-altitude flights over the area.Keith Anderson, a friend, said residents would stop what they were doing when they heard Zorn’s aircraft approaching.“If when we heard him, we’d hear him, we’d stop what we were doing. We’d run out here in the road and wave him on,” Anderson said. “You know, if he didn’t stop, he’d come by. And he’d go up and down and circle around. And we’re going to miss him when he’s, yeah, we sure are.”Anderson said the community will cherish the memories of Zorn’s visits and the sound of his aircraft.“Just a good old fellow. But he’d come through pretty regular. And he’d ride the river. They say he’d ride that river and put one tire in the water riding through there,” said Anderson. “Them people on the sandbar, they cheered him on.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/just-good-old-fellow-pilot-killed-georgia-plane-crash/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Christa Ross, Stephanie Adkisson, Shea Schrader","publishDate":"2026-06-27T20:18:41.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F5IKZ2P57VVFJHG6CF2OEPSWUHE.png%3Fauth%3Dfd38c56c898e55753d577531eb04c9642bc9ac9d961e7e70048338f7dc952ecf%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"just-a-good-old-fellow-pilot-killed-in-georgia-plane-crash"},{"id":"daoe4j","title":"Lightning strike believed to be cause of underground gas line fire in Hopkinsville","excerpt":"HOPKINSVILLE, Tenn.

In Germany, a new nighttime temperature record was reported Sunday from Kubschtz, in eastern Saxony, where the temperature did not drop below 29.4 degrees Celsius (84.9 Fahrenheit). The nightly record came only hours after a daytime record of 41.5 C (106.7 F) in Mckern-Drewitz in Saxony-Anhalt, according to preliminary data by the German Weather Service DWD. The previous record was set a day earlier.A new study from the World Weather Attribution, a Europe-based collaboration of scientists, reported Friday that the record-breaking heat and humidity in Europe this week would not have been possible without climate change.The rapid study found that the heat would have been virtually impossible just five decades ago, and is 200 times more likely today than it would have been 20 years ago.France records surge in deaths during heat waveFrance saw a surge in deaths last week at the height of its record-smashing heat wave, including a sharp increase in calls to private homes, especially in the Paris region, the national public health agency said Sunday.There were more than 1,200 deaths on Wednesday, when France was sweltering under its hottest temperatures ever, increasing to more than 1,400 deaths on each of the two following days, Public Health France said.In April and May, before the heat wave, Frances rate of deaths was about 900 to 1,000 per day, it said.RELATED STORY | France sizzles in punishing heat that is already causing deathsThe agency concluded that France experienced a total of at least 1,000 additional deaths during those three days alone, an estimate it cautioned is likely to increase as more data is collected, including for deaths at home.The increase in deaths was sharpest in areas under red warnings of extreme heat, it said. Those warnings blanketed about three-quarters of the country at the peak of the heat wave. The agency said that 85% of the deaths involved people aged 65 and above.Heat sparks wildfires in forests contaminated with WWII ammunitionIn Gohrischheide, in eastern Germany, a fire broke out in a large forest that's still contaminated with ammunition from World War II, which made the firefighters' efforts to put out the flames even more dangerous and complicated.Similarly, a major firefighting operation was underway in southwest Germany near the town of Traisen, where the heat sparked a forest fire in an area that also contained unexploded ordnance. Firefighting efforts had to be temporarily suspended after explosions took place and an ordnance disposal unit was brought in to continuously assess the situation, German news agency dpa reported.In addition, the big cities' fire departments were busy sending out ambulances to people suffering from heat-related illnesses. In Berlin, an additional 500 ambulance dispatches were reported on Saturday, most of them heat-related.Berlin police uses water cannons to cool down locals and touristsThe German capital's police found a unique way to help suffering Berliners and tourists alike. They put up two huge water cannons  usually used to disperse unruly protesters  in front of the city's iconic Brandenburg Gate and sprayed the cool water across the cheering crowd.The heat also continued to damage the country's infrastructure with the concrete surface on countless highways breaking up, and a weekend warning by national rail operator Deutsche Bahn to avoid all unnecessary train travel.In the eastern city of Leipzig, no trams will be running until early Monday morning due to heat damage to tracks and switches. The Leipzig Public Transportation Authority said that the high temperatures had caused the joint sealant for asphalt and concrete in switches and tracks to run and clump together in many places throughout the city's network.Greece is on alert for high fire risk, while Denmark is hit by thunderstormsIn Greece, in southeastern Europe, the country's Civil Protection agency warned of a very high fire risk in five regions of the country on Sunday.Wildfires are especially challenging in Greece, which has a dry mountainous mainland and over 100 inhabited islands, prompting authorities to introduce innovative space technology to help put them out quickly.In Denmark, in northern Europe, which marked new temperature records on Saturday, the extreme heat was followed by heavy thunderstorms.By Sunday morning, the country had recorded 1,156 lighting strikes, according to public broadcaster DR.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/world/europe/france-records-around-1-000-additional-deaths-amid-extreme-heat-wave-leading-to-european-records","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-28T12:32:11.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Fa568f40%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F7136x3746%2B0%2B507%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F00%252F6d%252Fa39905d64b7eb661225e6d15f6b5%252Fap26162480229710.jpg","slug":"france-records-around-1000-additional-deaths-amid-extreme-heat-wave-leading-to-european-records"},{"id":"3cful8","title":"Storm 5 Alert: Tracking Tornado Warnings in Tennessee","excerpt":"WATCH NOW: Watch Live","content":"WATCH NOW: Watch Live","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/news/storm-5-alert-tracking-tornado-warnings-in-kentucky","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","publishDate":"2026-06-28T00:45:03.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Fe663331%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F1280x672%2B0%2B24%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fewscripps-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%252F41%252Fdd%252F672946c04ceda619374358f8e810%252Fcorp-digital-default-image-1280x720-wtvf.png","slug":"storm-5-alert-tracking-tornado-warnings-in-tennessee"},{"id":"b7c1ej","title":"Facebook post showing dogs confined in small crates outside Walmart leads to arrest, sheriff’s office says","excerpt":"DALTON, Ga.

ABC7 Eyewitness News is still not naming the rescue.The rescue remains open and operating, and the investigation remains active.The investigation also follows reporting on a search warrant affidavit alleging the rescue accepted dogs and money from shelters across California under agreements that the animals would be cared for and rehomed.Investigators allege some dogs were instead killed to make room for additional animals.On Thursday, investigators searched the property for a third day as residents watched the operation unfold.\"You cannot really put into words what exactly it smells like. The closest thing I think of is a pile of dead deer,\" Humbolt resident Jaiden Kilby said.Berkeley and Oakland were among the Bay Area shelters that sent hundreds of dogs to the rescue before later cutting ties.Legal experts said the lack of charges does not necessarily indicate that none will be filed.\"I wouldn't take the fact that it's been a little while and charges haven't been filed as any indication that they won't be,\" said Matthew Liebman, a professor of animal law at the University of San Francisco.Liebman said animal cruelty investigations can be difficult to prosecute because of the nature of the evidence.\"Animal cruelty cases can be especially difficult to charge and prosecute because there are unique evidentiary challenges... the animals themselves can't testify,\" Liebman said.Animal law attorney Bruce Wagman said one of the most alarming allegations in the case may not, by itself, constitute animal cruelty under California law.\"To euthanize an animal in California by a bullet, that alone is not animal cruelty,\" Wagman said.Wagman also noted that even if investigators were to discover additional buried animals, animal cruelty charges would not be automatic.In addition to potential animal cruelty allegations, legal experts said the investigation could involve possible fraud, conspiracy and nonprofit law violations.The owner has repeatedly denied allegations that dogs were killed to make room for more animals.The-CNN-Wire &  2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The four panels were unveiled June 25 at the museum.“It’s a part of White House history and we just wanted to be able to display them to the public for the first time,” said Luke Boorady, Managing Director of The People’s House.The series was commissioned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s press secretary Steve Early during World War II. Rockwell based the paintings on real-life observations, placing the American public at the center of the work.“It’s really about the people who are going there to meet the president on any given day,” Boorady said.Despite the subject matter, the president himself is only a minor figure in the series.“It is an artwork of a president, except the president is in the bottom right corner of one of these four panels,” Boorady said, pointing to FDR just visible through a cracked door. The exhibit includes an interactive element designed to help visitors connect with the people depicted in the paintings, with animations of each figure available for guests to swipe through on a tablet. “Really one of the ways that we want people to feel connected to it is through the interactive component and seeing these people come to life, learn a little bit more about them,” Boorady said.“So You Want to See the President!” will be on view through June 2027. The People’s House is an interactive museum crafted by the White House Historical Society.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/norman-rockwell-exhibit-opens-peoples-house-dc/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caitrin Assaf","publishDate":"2026-06-27T19:13:23.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FYK64FV5MSJCCXGFHQ5CBEAZGB4.jpg%3Fauth%3D15652f721885fcb6b60a817def3ab24dad340cd401c601b49ed45b1f961786e7%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"norman-rockwell-exhibit-opens-at-the-peoples-house-in-dc"},{"id":"p4lyug","title":"Former NFL scout murder trial continues into day 5 in death of pregnant TN woman","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The Blaise Taylor murder trial has entered day five with testimony from investigators, forensic experts and people involved in the case. Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans scout, was accused of giving his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, a fatal dose of cocaine. As the trial continued on Saturday, prosecutors questioned a Kari Midthun, a forensic toxicologist, Midthun was questioned about a vile of Benning’s blood, testing of the comforter from the bed and the testing that was done on them. She said during the tests, there were indications of meth and cannabinoids but were not tested. She said cannabinoids were positive in every test and seemed like an interference. Later on during the trial, they spoke with a woman who was an intern for Tennessee Titans. She was asked about her relations to Taylor and if they were close or shared any close information. When asked about if Taylor mentioned anything about being a father, the intern said how he said he wasn’t ready. They also spoke with the lead detective on the case, Detective Adam Reese, with the Metro Nashville Police Department.During the trial, Reese said he went to Utah to talk to Taylor and obtained media devices from him to bring back to Nashville. Reese said he brought back a Laptop, an iPad, a GPS tracker and a USB drive. He said he didn’t obtain the phone used by Taylor. After going on a lunch break, the trial continued with Reese going over personal text messages between Benning and Taylor.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/former-nfl-scout-murder-trial-continues-into-day-5-death-pregnant-tn-woman/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Danica Sauter","publishDate":"2026-06-27T19:08:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FXQX4373VYJHSNMSOU5FDWAQV6Q.png%3Fauth%3Dbbbf44aaaae7eb52cbb0bf8bcd72f08836dbb8e64bf56e126aed830f42e1824e%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"former-nfl-scout-murder-trial-continues-into-day-5-in-death-of-pregnant-tn-woman"},{"id":"arsixz","title":"Man flown to Nashville hospital after truck crashes into horse and buggy in Kentucky","excerpt":"CHRISTIAN COUNTY, KY.

According to TJC, the court granted a temporary restraining order. The TJC said this means the court has temporarily stopped the Tennessee Department of Health from sharing information about people in the Children’s Special Services program with immigration authorities.

(WVIR/Gray News) - Healthcare workers in Virginia say ticks are making their presence known across the state.According to UVA Health, there has been an increased number of tick-related emergency room visits that have continued into the summer months after starting early this spring, compared to previous years.Jeffrey Wilson, an associate professor in allergy and immunology at UVA Health, said ticks can cause problems in multiple ways. “One of the big ones people think about is tick-borne infections,” Wilson said.Ticks have also been linked to alpha-gal syndrome, a red meat allergy that can develop after a tick bite. “You can develop a tick-acquired red meat allergy, which these days we more commonly know as the alpha-gal syndrome,” Wilson said. “So, all of these are potential bad things that can happen if you get a tick bite.”Wilson said tick season peaks during spring and summer months, but it also extends into fall. “There’s definitely an uptick. Unfortunately, summer is probably the worst while extending into fall a little bit,” Wilson said.Winter tends to be quieter for ticks, though some species remain active on mild days. Wilson recommends using repellents to prevent tick bites. He also recommends treating outdoor clothing with permethrin. “Permethrin spray can go on your outdoor clothes. So if you have pants, if you have shoes that you use when you’re hiking or gardening or hunting or walking the dog, basically you can treat that clothing, and that clothing is also a good deterrent,” Wilson said.Awareness and daily tick checks are also important, Wilson noted, According to Wilson, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study in April that indicated early signs of a significant tick year, and unfortunately, those numbers haven’t been wrong. “We do know that emergency room visits for tick-related infections have been up ... it has been a big tick year,” Wilson said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/tick-related-emergency-room-visits-are-surging-this-state/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Gabby Womack, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-27T09:47:32.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FPJVQMKGYYZBBXFUCPFFUIMRIWU.bmp%3Fauth%3D0185087507b1206c1b467d588cc6351d4fe5ca43989ff1250ad8b53d1df56169%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tick-related-emergency-room-visits-are-surging-in-this-state"},{"id":"jbiak2","title":"A summer for the guys: Ways to relax and recharge around Middle Tennessee","excerpt":"Father’s Day may be over, but summer is just getting started.","content":"Father’s Day may be over, but summer is just getting started.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/summer-middle-tennessee-gaylord-springs-golf-links-brewery-pine-creek-golf-course-mt-juliet-towhee-club-spring-hill-j-percy-priest-lake-old-hickory-lake-and-center-hill-lake-fishing-for-men-in-nashville-geodis-park-soccer-nashville-sc-nashville-sounds","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T17:00:01.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2240%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2Fb6623274-8d79-4a58-a978-90e29334c2b9-EVERGREENBANNER.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"a-summer-for-the-guys-ways-to-relax-and-recharge-around-middle-tennessee"},{"id":"w2hzlr","title":"Longtime fisherman hooks 300-pound bull shark while tarpon fishing","excerpt":"CRAVEN COUNTY, N.C.

(WECT/Gray News) - The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office is mourning the loss of one of its deputies, who lost his life in the line of duty this week. Deputy Damien Draper Bost, 30, died at an area hospital following a collision Thursday on U.S. 74. Officials confirmed that a roadway striping crew was conducting paint operations in the right lane when a tractor-trailer being driven by David McPherson, 33, failed to reduce speed and struck Bost’s marked patrol vehicle from behind.Columbus County Sheriff Bill Rogers said Deputy Bost was shielding road crews at the scene. McPherson’s semitruck then struck a bumper truck ahead of the patrol vehicle, injuring its 24-year-old operator. That operator was transported to an area hospital with unknown injuries. The tractor-trailer continued on to cross the median and ended up catching fire. McPherson did not suffer any injuries. The 33-year-old was arrested following the crash and charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle, reckless driving and failure to reduce speed, North Carolina State Highway Patrol said. A memorial fund has since been created through the Police Benevolent Foundation to support Deputy Bost’s family. Clyde Prince said Bost was his best friend. He said the two talked nearly every day and that the deputy was a family man who loved his job.“He was just a loving father, he was a great friend, he loved his wife, he loved what he did, and he was a great family man,” Prince said.The North Carolina State Highway Patrol Collision Reconstruction Unit is assisting with the ongoing crash investigation.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/deputy-dies-after-being-hit-by-tractor-trailer-while-shielding-road-crews-highway/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Hudson Steiner, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-27T05:55:51.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FV47XTWXIXBDMRPJT3QVIFKNQLU.png%3Fauth%3Dc713695240ba8451b4074bdfb0e2761a8c7742b8f218da3703c3a3ad02bba27c%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"deputy-dies-after-being-hit-by-tractor-trailer-while-shielding-road-crews-on-highway"},{"id":"sc6k69","title":"Mt.

Additionally, the kids were routinely locked in a room when their mother left the home, authorities said the investigation uncovered. Sidney Whitt, 21, Jacqulyn Morales, 29, and Shelby Munoz, 18, are each facing charges that include endangering a child and injury to a child. Each was booked on a $500,000 bond.According to the sheriff’s office, an investigation was opened after child protective services and hospital staff contacted authorities on June 18 about an infant being brought to a Tyler hospital with head trauma consistent with child abuse. Medical personnel reported the 2-month-old was suffering from brain bleeding, seizures and facial bruising. The child was later airlifted to the Children’s Medical Center in Dallas for specialized treatment.Investigators interviewed the child’s mother, other adults, and the children living in the home. During this process, a search warrant was prepared.While searching the home, that’s when investigators said they discovered the home’s inadequate living conditions.According to investigators, on the night of June 16, two mothers of the children, identified as Whitt and Morales, left the home and placed Morales’s sister, Munoz, in charge of the children. Before leaving, they locked the 2-month-old and two other children in a bedroom.Morales and Whitt traveled to a hotel to meet a boyfriend, which included them drinking alcohol and drugs, authorities said.Back at the house, two children, ages four and six, ended up getting into the locked bedroom and began tossing the infant, and stomped on the child’s head, according to the sheriff’s office. Munoz reportedly did not intervene, later saying that the children were not hers and she did not believe their care was her responsibility.Authorities noted that Whitt and Morales did not seek medical assistance until two days later, despite seeing the child’s injuries.Munoz and Morales were arrested on Tuesday, with Whitt taken into custody on Thursday.The 2-month-old was placed on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma, the sheriff’s office said, as the investigation remains ongoing.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/women-arrested-after-2-month-old-suffers-severe-head-injury-placed-medical-coma-investigators-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"KLTV News staff, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-27T04:56:54.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FKXWWS5UKGNHPHIZ67SXKCY4N6E.png%3Fauth%3D64c76c77c7cf6cc080997053da491ff8d97be70ef74272cbbd1f7d485723220d%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"women-arrested-after-2-month-old-suffers-severe-head-injury-placed-in-medical-coma-investigators-say"},{"id":"a4thl4","title":"Home completely destroyed in fire in Putnam County","excerpt":"A house fire in Putnam County destroyed a home and left one person shaken but unharmed.","content":"A house fire in Putnam County destroyed a home and left one person shaken but unharmed.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/home-destroyed-in-fire-in-putnam-county-one-injured","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T11:49:58.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F3024%2F986%2F0x1166%2F90%2F8e5aa95c-d510-48e5-8efe-c9228ebcc2a9-IMG_60581.jpeg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"home-completely-destroyed-in-fire-in-putnam-county"},{"id":"jgbjii","title":"City of Columbia unveils marker memorializing site of deadly 1977 jail fire","excerpt":"A new historical marker in Columbia marks the site of the tragic 1977 Maury County Jail fire.","content":"A new historical marker in Columbia marks the site of the tragic 1977 Maury County Jail fire.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/columbia-1977-maury-county-jail-fire-historical-marker/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Erin McCullough","publishDate":"2026-06-27T21:11:46.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2F1B0A0383.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"city-of-columbia-unveils-marker-memorializing-site-of-deadly-1977-jail-fire"},{"id":"kbqvm1","title":"BNA ground delay lifted after air traffic control tower power outage","excerpt":"A ground delay has been issued at Nashville International Airport (BNA) due to a power outage at the Air Traffic Control Facility.","content":"A ground delay has been issued at Nashville International Airport (BNA) due to a power outage at the Air Traffic Control Facility.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/ground-delay-nashville-international-airport-control-tower-power-outage/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Aubriella Jackson","publishDate":"2026-06-27T14:54:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2023%2F06%2Fbna.jpg%3Fw%3D840","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"bna-ground-delay-lifted-after-air-traffic-control-tower-power-outage"},{"id":"gxy9wc","title":"Rosetta Miller Perry, founder of the Tennessee Tribune, dies at 91 in Nashville -

(WBTV/Gray News) - A television food star is the latest big name to join a star-powered NASCAR ownership group. Guy Fieri joined Legacy Motor Club as a “strategic owner,” the team announced on Thursday. Fieri, known for his numerous Food Network programs, including the ever-popular show “Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives,” is joining the NASCAR team that is steeped in history.“Motorsports and race cars have always had that raw energy I love -- the people, the passion, the culture, the speed,” Fieri shared.Seven-time champions Jimmie Johnson and Richard Petty are also team partners.“Legacy Motor Club is building something different, and I wanted to be part of it. This is about more than racing -- it’s about creating a brand that connects with fans everywhere, from the track to the table,” Fieri said. Legacy Motor Club said Fieri’s involvement with the team would include plans for collaborative content, fan engagement initiatives, and merchandise that combines racing, food and lifestyle culture.“Guy has built an incredible brand by being authentic and connecting with people in a real way,” Johnson said. “That’s at the heart of what we’re building here.

(WSMV) - Country star Brad Paisley is continuing to fight alongside the Nashville Zoo to try and stop a data center from being built. Paisley posted a video on his social media Friday evening, saying the situation is “by no means resolved yet.” Just last night, Metro Planning Commission held a meeting about the proposed data center campus next to the Nashville Zoo. The commission advanced legislation that could determine where data centers can be built in Nashville. The campus near the zoo would consist of two data center buildings, with a combined power capacity of 50 megawatts. An attorney for DC Blox, the company aiming to build the site, said at the meeting that “this building is vested.” “They are going to build it there. We already have the permits in hand,” he said. “We just want to work with the community to find a solution.”Paisley, however, remains critical, calling the plans “a monstrosity.” “AI is taking our intellectual property without asking us,” he said in his latest video, specifically pointing at AI use in the music industry. “...And now they’re trying to build a data center, a monstrosity, next to the zoo kind of in the same way, where they’re not asking for permission and it’s all going to really affect something here in Nashville.” “We’ve got to fight this. We have to set a precedent because if we can win this and we can stop that from happening where we don’t want it, it’s a precedent that will help other communities,” he continued. “... Let’s not let up.” Paisley’s first made a video about the data center on June 7, saying, “it doesn’t belong here.” “It would be an enormous monstrosity, an absolute eye sore and detract in every way for not only that zoo, but also that area,” he said. “...Build them somewhere else, but let’s keep Nashville beautiful and as great an attraction as it’s always been.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/brad-paisley-issues-another-statement-nashville-zoo-data-center-monstrosity/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-27T02:56:53.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FESWOVKAGZVGO3JPXQYMS2WTYJM.png%3Fauth%3Da0169ec6a06b77c3ec14d5fc3a534ec3851fe5254b6184889d5da0784ab46d92%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"brad-paisley-issues-another-statement-on-nashville-zoo-data-center-a-monstrosity"},{"id":"m6jr","title":"Lawyer: 'Permits in hand' for data center near Nashville Zoo","excerpt":"On Thursday night, the Metro Planning Commission approved the legislation that would regulate data centers, which will now head to the Metro Council for a public hearing on July 7.","content":"On Thursday night, the Metro Planning Commission approved the legislation that would regulate data centers, which will now head to the Metro Council for a public hearing on July 7.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/lawyer-permits-in-hand-for-data-center-near-nashville-zoo/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Nikki McGee","publishDate":"2026-06-26T23:28:56.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FData-Center-near-zoo.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"lawyer-permits-in-hand-for-data-center-near-nashville-zoo"},{"id":"6uo89l","title":"Lightning near Nissan Stadium causes weather delay at Alan Jackson farewell show","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Some of the charges state that Ulroan was in a position of authority over the victims while committing the alleged crimes, with Alsaka State troopers stating that there could be victims in the case. According to the Alaska Bureau of Investigation, a tip was received in January that a Chevak girl was allegedly being abused by Ulroan between 2009 and 2010.A press release from Alaska authorities stated that during the course of the investigation, additional women came forward and reported that Ulroan sexually assaulted or abused them. There were at least six victims in the indictment, according to lead investigator Brian Wassmann.“The investigation has shown thus far, that the abuse, at least in the cases that we investigated that led to the Grand Jury charges, or the indictment, occurred between 2009 and 2010 and other crimes occurred from 2015 to 2017 in various communities,” Wassmann said.The release also stated that Ulroan was a certified foster parent from 2005 to 2023. In 2019, he and his wife were named “Parents of the Year” by the Alaska Federation of Natives.Ulroan served as Chevak’s mayor around 2007 and served on the city council. In 2021, he worked as the vice mayor. He also worked at Chevak School as a girls’ basketball coach, according to state troopers. Ulroan moved out of state for training in 2023 and then moved to Nome in the fall of 2024. Authorities said the majority of the charged crimes occurred in Chevak, with others in Mountain Village and one in Anchorage. Wassmann noted that the case remains an open investigation, with victims possibly being in the Nome area as well.Ulroan’s bail was set at $250,000 as he was booked into the Anvil Mountain Correctional Center. If he does post bail, he is not to have any contact with the victims or any minor under the age of 18. Alaska State Troopers urged anyone with further information to contact them at 907-451-5100.If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, resources are available on the Standing Together Against Rape (STAR) website or by calling the statewide crisis hotline at 1-800-478-8999. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, resources are available on the Alaska Children’s Alliance and Alaska Children’s Trust websites.

(WSMV) - The night Jade Benning died from a suspected poisoning, she and her boyfriend took photos as they painted canvases for their unborn child’s room. Now on trial for her murder, testimony reveals he had a “dark demeanor” that night — and that his painting was an alleged self-described “black hole.” That boyfriend, former NFL scout Blaise Taylor, is now on trial for the murders of Benning and their unborn daughter. During Thursday’s hearing, Nijaiha Jackson, who had known 24-year-old Benning from the time she was 6, testified about what she experienced when she went to Benning’s apartment the night her best friend died.Jackson and another friend went to Benning’s apartment for just 15 to 30 minutes to hang out for a short amount of time and discuss Benning’s plans for the nursery. While there, Jackson met Taylor for the first time, as he had been largely absent from the majority of Benning’s pregnancy journey. Jackson said Thursday that nothing seemed “too alarming” — except for something Taylor said as they discussed the nursery. “He told me he was going to paint a black hole,” she recalled during the trial, saying he told her, “I’m going to call it midnight — the further you look, the deeper you go.\" “It was a very dark demeanor about this painting after Jade said she was going to make something for the baby’s room.” Jackson left minutes after that interaction, and on Thursday, the trial revealed what that black hole entailed. Investigators in the case showed photos that were taken just before 8:30 p.m. that night. Those photos reveal two canvases that Benning and Taylor had been painting for the nursery. Benning’s consisted of wavy green, yellow and pink lines with words like “love,” “hope,” and “peace.” Taylor’s canvas, on the other hand, was painted completely black. The finished version of his canvas had a large grayish circle in the middle with similarly-colored markings in the black space around it. After they painted the canvases, Benning and Taylor took photos together holding up the art. Both were seen smiling, and in one image, Benning was kissing Taylor on the cheek. Those photos were taken at about 9:25 p.m. They also took a series of images around the same time of them smiling together without the canvases.Just a few minutes after those photos, Benning called Jackson, who testified she heard her best friend yelling at Taylor, accusing him of poisoning her. The last clear sentence that Jackson testified hearing from her friend in that roughly six-minute phone call was: “You did this so something would happen to the baby.”Around 9:38 p.m., Taylor called 911, saying he thought Benning was having an allergic reaction to food. When asked by the dispatcher if Benning was showing any usual severe allergy symptoms, including rash, hives or swelling, Taylor said she did not appear to be. Benning was clinically dead by the time an ambulance was able to get her to the hospital. Her unborn child, a roughly 25-week-old baby girl she had planned to name Ivy, died two days later. Benning was taken off life support about a week after the incident, on her 25th birthday. A medical examiner has since ruled that Benning died of “acute cocaine toxicity,” calling the manner of death “suspicious.” Despite Taylor’s attorneys blaming Benning for using drugs that led to her death, investigators say they have found no indication she was using drugs or alcohol throughout her pregnancy, and that by all accounts, she was doing everything she could to take care of herself and the fetus.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/photos-show-black-hole-former-nfl-scout-painted-nursery-night-pregnant-girlfriends-suspected-murder/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-27T01:55:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FEENKCG6BCFEVLMPSN2QB2TRQ4Y.png%3Fauth%3Df48b4b960a667a4788162bdb5f53ee2e1ad1d21d3d303fdced9d345edfe2b854%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"photos-show-black-hole-former-nfl-scout-painted-for-nursery-night-of-pregnant-girlfriends-suspected-"},{"id":"hxxx4o","title":"Man charged with aggravated assault against first responders, other offenses in Cheatham County","excerpt":"A man with a history of passing out behind the wheel is back behind bars after being accused of nearly running over Cheatham County first responders.","content":"A man with a history of passing out behind the wheel is back behind bars after being accused of nearly running over Cheatham County first responders.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/man-charged-with-multiple-counts-of-aggravated-assault-against-a-first-responder-other-offenses-in-cheatham-county/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Andy Cordan","publishDate":"2026-06-26T23:56:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2021%2F12%2Flights.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-charged-with-aggravated-assault-against-first-responders-other-offenses-in-cheatham-county"},{"id":"nxiw8x","title":"Governor confirms at least one storm-related death, multiple others reported as severe weather moves across Kentucky","excerpt":"FRANKFORT, Ky.

(WSMV) - The 2025-25 Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program results are in and one Middle Tennessee school district outperformed the state average. Students at Franklin Special District outperformed state averaged by double digits. “FSD students significantly outperformed state averages across all reported TCAP subject areas, continuing the district’s long-standing tradition of academic excellence and steady growth. FSD students didn’t just edge out state averages,” the district said. “Across English language arts (ELA), math, and social studies, students surpassed their peers by double-digit margins.” Here’s how the district scored: English: 59.8%, compared to the state average of 40.6%Math: 65.7%, compared to the state average of 43% Social studies: 68.8%, compared to the state average of 51.4% David Snowden, director of Franklin schools, said it’s “gratifying to see that our teachers and students continue to perform at the highest levels across the state.” “These results provide definitive proof that our students are on track to make that leap to high school with the skills they need to be successful,” he said. The district also earned some statewide distinctions, including No. 1 rankings in 6th grade math, algebra I and geometry. FSD earned top 10 rankings in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade English language arts, as well as 3rd, 4th and 5th grade math and 6th grade social studies. The district’s success comes as a WSMV4 Investigates analysis of state data found that less than half of Tennessee students are proficient in any school subject. While there were overall modest gains in testing scores across the state, most students have yet to grasp basic concepts across multiple school subjects. Among 3rd through 8th graders, over 50% did not meet expectations in every single subject they were tested on from 2023 to 2025.However, that proficiency, while low, still sits above the national average.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/students-this-middle-tennessee-district-performed-above-state-average-every-subject/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-27T00:28:05.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FG7XSCXBBRNG2TDYV5DW5EAYZFU.png%3Fauth%3Dbc8af935fa6f2ea7b2138dfbc623baea6c49815ef24a5b3c44105e6972de3c76%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"students-in-this-middle-tennessee-district-performed-above-the-state-average-in-every-subject"},{"id":"n47kfx","title":"Williamson County students will be required to complete safety training to ride e-bikes to school","excerpt":"WILLIAMSON CO., Tenn.

WCS said schools will maintain the registration information, including the type of transportation it is, manufacturer and model. “The new expectations are part of the district’s updated Student Transportation Policy, approved by the Williamson County School Board on June 15,” the district said. “Riding an e-bike, e-scooter or other electronic transportation device to school is considered a privilege and may be revoked if students fail to follow safety expectations.”More campus-specific expectations will be shared by Williamson County Schools closer to the start of the next academic year.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/williamson-county-students-will-be-required-complete-safety-training-ride-e-bikes-school/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-27T00:14:24.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FJFQMKZNOANBHNPLLHMEDAACXME.png%3Fauth%3Dbb05fec2e811975925d0b266176e66ded5364f83e8bd2f6cf3b7272669066207%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"williamson-county-students-will-be-required-to-complete-safety-training-to-ride-e-bikes-to-school"},{"id":"iiz8qp","title":"1,800 American flags turn this Middle Tennessee road into a red, white and blue tribute","excerpt":"Nothing says America like a couple thousand flags lining a gorgeous country road leading to what feels like home.","content":"Nothing says America like a couple thousand flags lining a gorgeous country road leading to what feels like home.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/1800-american-flags-at-semler-cattle-company-leipers-fork-bailey-road-red-white-blue-japanese-wagyu-cattle-farm-williamson-county-middle-tennessee","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T09:00:01.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F3028%2F986%2F0x1353%2F90%2F8ed59c78-49fe-45c8-996e-cb1a91a6e76a-IMG_0208.jpeg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"1800-american-flags-turn-this-middle-tennessee-road-into-a-red-white-and-blue-tribute"},{"id":"j58v5c","title":"‘Heartbroken’ Lionel Richie postpones shows following illness during show","excerpt":"(Gray News) - Lionel Richie postponed the two shows following a visit to the hospital during a show in St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 24.Richie, who had been performing with Earth, Wind & Fire on tour, reportedly had to sit down while singing “Dancing on the Ceiling.” He did not return from intermi...","content":"(Gray News) - Lionel Richie postponed the two shows following a visit to the hospital during a show in St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 24.Richie, who had been performing with Earth, Wind & Fire on tour, reportedly had to sit down while singing “Dancing on the Ceiling.” He did not return from intermission and was instead taken to the hospital.His shows on June 26 in Chicago, Illinois, and June 27 in Columbus, Ohio, were postponed, Live Nation Chicago announced on social media.His next show will take place on June 30 in Pittsburgh.“Lionel is heartbroken to postpone these two shows and cannot wait to be back performing for his fans,” the post read, in part.Rescheduled dates were not yet made available.Richie’s diagnosis was not immediately revealed.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/heartbroken-lionel-richie-postpones-shows-following-illness-during-show/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Brandy Beard","publishDate":"2026-06-27T00:07:09.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FBXLOSPGZWNHJHFI4SBWR2HXNXA.jpg%3Fauth%3D2668dc3921bc424420b05f08178abc3b718b87a75f36996785642fd4d91acfc9%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"heartbroken-lionel-richie-postpones-shows-following-illness-during-show"},{"id":"lj8mzl","title":"Nashville Humane Association hit by early-morning flood","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(Atlanta News First) - The Atlanta Braves on Friday placed right-hander Robert Suarez on the 15-day injured list, backdated to June 23, due to elbow inflammation, according to the team.Right-hander Hurston Waldrep was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take his place on the 26-man roster.The move is the latest injury setback for a Braves club that has been hit hard by health issues this season. Suarez, who owns a 0.56 ERA across 31 appearances, had been dealing with right forearm discomfort over the past week. He hasn’t pitched since tossing 1.1 scoreless innings on 28 pitches against the Brewers on June 19, and he may not return until after the All-Star break.Waldrep, who was an outside candidate to earn a spot in Atlanta’s Opening Day rotation before loose bodies in his right elbow sidelined him until June, is expected to serve as the bulk reliever behind Reynaldo Lopez in Friday night’s game against the San Francisco Giants. Lopez, making his first start after pitching out of the bullpen for two months, is expected to throw around 30 pitches before giving way to Waldrep.Whether Waldrep remains with the big league club beyond Friday will likely depend on his performance. If he provides multiple effective innings, he could strengthen his case to stick around.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/braves-place-robert-suarez-il-with-right-elbow-inflammation/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Aaron Schmidt","publishDate":"2026-06-27T00:03:09.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FDTMZF37MERBTXL5NG2PUQL4YTA.jpg%3Fauth%3Ddbf279b0db8bf3a1b54ff0c635c087abd014367b093e805799852b765e7d5734%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"braves-place-robert-suarez-on-il-with-right-elbow-inflammation"},{"id":"r7qjn1","title":"Three separate motorcycle crashes leave at least one dead","excerpt":"MAURY CO., Tenn.

Firefighters arrived to heavy smoke and flames and moved inside to battle the blaze.Additional crews searched the home. Fire officials said vehicles in the driveway and the late hour prompted the search.Crews found the man and his two dogs inside and pulled them from the home. He was taken to Skyline Medical Center, where he later died.No injuries to fire personnel were reported.Throughout Friday, family, friends and neighbors stopped by the home to remember him.Mary Lauderdale, who lives in the area, described the man as a kind neighbor.“Wonderful little man, he always had something nice to say.

(WSMV) - Metro is redesigning a 9-mile stretch of Nolensville Pike from downtown to South Nashville as the city’s first “All-Access Corridor,” delivering bus-only lanes, smart traffic signals, new sidewalks and bikeway connections under the Choose How You Move program.Nashville voters approved Choose How You Move in November 2024. The program is aimed at modernizing the city’s transportation network.This corridor handles about 40,000 vehicles per day, along with roughly 3,000 daily riders on WeGo Public Transit’s Route 52.Bus-only lanesCommunity input is shaping the project’s street design, said Michael Briggs, deputy program director for Choose How You Move.“We’ve heard a lot over the years as to how Nolensville Pike can be improved for safety,” Briggs said. “Make transit more frequent and reliable, also help with traffic flow.” Briggs said planners will study the corridor block by block to determine what improvements are feasible in each area. Options include widening sidewalks, repurposing existing travel lanes, widening curbs and adding shoulders to move buses ahead of traffic. A critical transit routeFelix Castrodad, director of planning for WeGo Public Transit, described Route 52 as a lifeline for a diverse community.“This is one of our heaviest routes. It’s very busy,” Castrodad said. “We hit a lot of areas that are very important, a very multicultural corridor. We have a lot of riders that we will hopefully be able to make their lives a lot better once we implement this project.”Castrodad said dedicated bus lanes would make service more consistent and eliminate the need for riders to consult a schedule. WeGo wants to have enough reliable service where someone can just walk up to a stop and a bus will come in a couple of minutes. Traffic and pedestrian safetyBeyond transit, the project includes new and upgraded sidewalks, safer pedestrian crossings, bikeway connections and transit signal priority upgrades throughout the corridor.Derek Hagerty, deputy director of NDOT, said Nolensville Pike’s pedestrian safety problems are a major driver of the project.“This is one of the most dangerous roadways in Nashville,” Hagerty said. “Not only are we going to be getting great transit upgrades, we’re really looking forward to filling in sidewalk gaps and ensuring more pedestrian crossings.” Hagerty said the absence of safe crossing options has put pedestrians at risk. People will walk out into traffic to get to the other side of the road because there are not enough crosswalks. “As people walk from housing to bus stops to restaurants to stores, we want to ensure they have a safe way to do it. Transit only works if people can get there safely,” Hagerty said. Improvements already underwaySome changes are already in progress along the corridor. WeGo has increased bus frequencies on Nolensville Pike during peak commute hours and expanded service to Glencliff High School on school days.Metro’s Information Technology Services department has also extended fiber through the corridor to support signal upgrades. That work is expected to connect buses and traffic signals to NDOT’s Traffic Management Center to replace traditional timed traffic lights.What’s nextThe planning and design phase will take two to three years and will include community meetings before any construction begins. No renderings for the project have been released at this point. The project will be delivered through a multi-agency partnership involving the Choose How You Move Program Office, WeGo Public Transit, NDOT, Metro Planning and state and federal partners. Design work will also require coordination with the Tennessee Department of Transportation.Leaders are hoping to get 50% of the project’s funding from the Federal Transit Administration’s Capital Investment Grants (CIG) program and will work with partners to apply for the assistance.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/nashvilles-nolensville-pike-become-citys-first-all-access-corridor/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Brendan Tierney","publishDate":"2026-06-26T22:30:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FTRAYXVHKA5B7HIO4GQDCHUTLBY.png%3Fauth%3D18c85fb95cbba0048ec5ae95fdbd41890ec2d7f49e3c6dec4c62ea10be8217dc%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashvilles-nolensville-pike-to-become-citys-first-all-access-corridor"},{"id":"y9lisl","title":"Midstate woman turns her pain into purpose, helping save teens’ lives","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A Midstate woman is turning one of the darkest moments of her life into a light for others.Brittany Leedham has turned her pain into purpose and is saving lives through her message to area teens.Leedham vividly remembers the horrific details of a tragic November night back in 2008 during her senior year of high school. She was a passenger in her boyfriend’s car.“He decided to pass the car in front of us on a double yellow line. Then he lost control. We spun around, went off the road, hit a ditch, flipped, went up nine feet and we wrapped around the only tree at over 70 miles per hour,” Leedham said.“By the time I got to Vanderbilt, they had already placed the orders to amputate both legs,” said Leedham. “They had given me a less than 15% chance to live.”Leedham’s boyfriend died in the crash. Despite her odds, she survived.Doctors managed to save Leedham’s legs, but the crash broke her tibia and fibula in both legs, both femurs, her pelvic bone, three fingers and the C2 vertebrae in her neck. Now 26 surgeries later, Leedham says some of her greatest healing have come from helping others avoid the heartbreak she’s lived through. “These are your real consequences that can happen when you choose to engage in reckless behaviors behind the wheel. This can really happen to you,” Leedham said. Leedham’s mission became one of sharing her story with area youth.“I feel compelled to help, to reach out, to help others,” said Leedham. “I have to in some way, shape or form.”“She’s such a hero to share her story and give back to the people that probably need to hear her story,” said Teresa Leedham, Brittany’s mother.Leedham has spent years giving hope, wisdom and perspective to others. Now the WSMV4 Surprise Squad wanted to give back to her. “This is our Surprise Squad sponsor,” said WSMV4’s Holly Thompson.“Stop it!” exclaimed Leedham. “This is Blair Durham from Bart Durham Injury Law,” said Thompson.Leedham had no idea the WSMV4 Surprise Squad sponsor was sneaking into the studio with a $1,000 check to thank her for giving back to our community and no doubt helping save teens’ lives through her story. “This one really, really hits home with me,” Durham said. “And I just want you to know, I advocate for people like you all the time, but you advocate for you and those same people. And it’s so nice to have a partner in this journey. So, thank you very much. The WSMV4 Surprise Squad was determined to celebrate a woman whose courage continues to impact countless lives.“It’s really fun for me to be able to say to people like her, ‘Thank you. You’ve blessed so many people,’” said Durham. “It’s really just a joy, and a pleasure, and an honor and a privilege to be able to go back and say, ‘Hey, we see ya. You’re doing something amazing and thank you.’”“Thank y’all so much! I am so grateful. So very grateful,” said Leedham.Leedham told Thompson she will soon be sharing her message with youth in Metro Juvenile Court as her mission continues.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/midstate-woman-turns-her-pain-into-purpose-helping-save-teens-lives/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Holly Thompson","publishDate":"2026-06-26T22:25:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMIDHGQTPJFDPJKQS5OY2275V2Q.png%3Fauth%3D61dd4f72cced0581dd0a055938781d1e4df9c9d2c8ac02afa227b65ec4953353%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"midstate-woman-turns-her-pain-into-purpose-helping-save-teens-lives"},{"id":"828bqm","title":"Metro begins planning major upgrades along Nolensville Pike corridor","excerpt":"More than 40,000 vehicles travel down Nolensville Pike every day, making it one of Nashville's busiest roadways.","content":"More than 40,000 vehicles travel down Nolensville Pike every day, making it one of Nashville's busiest roadways.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/major-upgrades-along-nolensville-pike-corridor/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Audrey Mayer","publishDate":"2026-06-26T22:52:20.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2F430PKG.00_00_00_56.Still001.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"metro-begins-planning-major-upgrades-along-nolensville-pike-corridor"},{"id":"b892f7","title":"Exile Band Official: Exile - Grand Ole Opry - Nashville, TN - Lebanon Democrat","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiywFBVV95cUxQc1dTSUFsbl9iSGdDNXExbVo4V3hBV01kaHlGQ090MHc3OUhCUUZpbnNGU3ZIVzExbExpUGJ4MGhtTVRTWm00dHFhT2xBSFlVNDlzQkNlcUpfTklvMGNubU1iZk1sZGZKaHhHR2l0UlRqSXBhRnZTNkhNRjZlNzZYSzIyTlVMMEFCNkNsSFpxNkVKczZIZkFrNjJ3anp0VHBzYWI1QUtjWWNoU3F6cFAzWkdwTHplYnR...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiywFBVV95cUxQc1dTSUFsbl9iSGdDNXExbVo4V3hBV01kaHlGQ090MHc3OUhCUUZpbnNGU3ZIVzExbExpUGJ4MGhtTVRTWm00dHFhT2xBSFlVNDlzQkNlcUpfTklvMGNubU1iZk1sZGZKaHhHR2l0UlRqSXBhRnZTNkhNRjZlNzZYSzIyTlVMMEFCNkNsSFpxNkVKczZIZkFrNjJ3anp0VHBzYWI1QUtjWWNoU3F6cFAzWkdwTHplYnR1S3JjSVhQb1htLW9tVl8yYzFaOA?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Exile Band Official: Exile - Grand Ole Opry - Nashville, TN</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">Lebanon Democrat</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiywFBVV95cUxQc1dTSUFsbl9iSGdDNXExbVo4V3hBV01kaHlGQ090MHc3OUhCUUZpbnNGU3ZIVzExbExpUGJ4MGhtTVRTWm00dHFhT2xBSFlVNDlzQkNlcUpfTklvMGNubU1iZk1sZGZKaHhHR2l0UlRqSXBhRnZTNkhNRjZlNzZYSzIyTlVMMEFCNkNsSFpxNkVKczZIZkFrNjJ3anp0VHBzYWI1QUtjWWNoU3F6cFAzWkdwTHplYnR1S3JjSVhQb1htLW9tVl8yYzFaOA?oc=5","source":"Google News - Nashville TN","author":"Google News - Nashville TN","publishDate":"2026-06-27T00:48:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2FJ6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBuc%3Ds0-w300","slug":"exile-band-official-exile-grand-ole-opry-nashville-tn-lebanon-democrat"},{"id":"t2yml7","title":"3 arrested, including former deputy’s stepmother, in 11-year-old homicide case","excerpt":"ROBESON COUNTY, NC (WMBF/Gray News) - Authorities in North Carolina arrested three people in the Sara Graham homicide case, marking a major breakthrough in the 11-year search for the Fairmont woman who disappeared on her way to work in 2015.Deputies with the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office, along...","content":"ROBESON COUNTY, NC (WMBF/Gray News) - Authorities in North Carolina arrested three people in the Sara Graham homicide case, marking a major breakthrough in the 11-year search for the Fairmont woman who disappeared on her way to work in 2015.Deputies with the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office, along with the FBI and the U.S. Marshals, arrested Connie Graham, Luke Locklear, and Bobby McLellan in connection with Sara Graham’s death on Thursday. “The pursuit of justice never stopped, Sara was never forgotten, and those responsible, no matter how hard they tried, did not outrun the pursuit of justice,” Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said. Sara Graham was 18 years old when she left her Fairmont home on the morning of Feb. 4, 2015, to go to work at a Walmart in Pembroke.She never arrived.Hours later, her white van was found abandoned in a field along East McDonald Road.Records show Connie Graham, 65, is facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder, felony conspiracy and evidence tampering.Connie Graham is Sara Graham’s stepmother and a former deputy at the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office. Locklear and McLellan are her two sons.Arrest warrants state that Connie Graham killed Sara Graham and destroyed and altered evidence, such as the bed, clothing and home flooring.Locklear, 29, is charged with felony conspiracy and evidence tampering. McLellan, 42, is charged with felony conspiracy, evidence tampering, and accessory after the fact.According to the warrants, Locklear helped burn evidence, and McLellan helped dispose of Sara Graham’s remains. “...Sara did not deserve to have her life taken,” Wilkins said. “While nothing can undo the loss felt by so many, we hope these arrests provide some measure of comfort.Law enforcement family Nearly two months after Sara Graham’s disappearance, the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office terminated Connie Graham’s employment, though no reason was publicly disclosed at the time.Connie Graham was married to Hubert Graham, who served as a sergeant with the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office for years and is now the police chief at the Rowland Police Department.WMBF News has attempted to reach Hubert Graham for comment but has not received a response.The legal turning pointThe arrests come three weeks after a Robeson County judge legally declared Sara Graham dead earlier this month, more than 11 years after her disappearance. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Missing North Carolina woman declared dead after more than a decadeUnder North Carolina law, a missing person can be presumed dead if absent from their last known residence for seven or more years.That ruling transformed the case from a missing person investigation into a homicide investigation, allowing authorities to pursue new investigative methods and resources.Bond and court appearancesDuring her first appearance Thursday, Connie Graham was denied bond. All three suspects, Graham, Locklear, and McLellan, are being held in custody and have been moved out of the county for safekeeping, according to the sheriff’s office. Locklear and McLellan are each being held on $1 million secured bonds.Search for Sara’s remainsWhile arrests have been made in Sara Graham’s death, authorities have not yet located her remains. The FBI continues to offer a $5,000 reward for information leading to the location of Sara Graham’s body.Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office at 910-671-3100 or the FBI’s Charlotte Field Office at 704-672-6100.Wilkins’ full statement can be viewed below. While some may have believed this case had gone cold, the reality is a case like this never leaves the minds of the investigators assigned to it. From the moment she disappeared in 2015, our Homicide Division and the FBI work diligently behind the scenes to get to where we are today with these charges. When I took office in 2018, one of my first priorities was to get justice for Sara and that doesn’t end with the criminal charges today, we will not stop until we find her. I am proud of the dedication, professionalism, and perseverance demonstrated by everyone involved in this investigation. Their commitment never wavered and their efforts have brought accountability one step closer for those involved in a young woman’s death, Sara did not deserve to have her life taken. While nothing can undo the loss felt by so many, we hope these arrests provide some measure of comfort. The pursuit of justice never stopped, Sara was never forgotten, and those responsible, no matter how hard they tried did not outrun the pursuit of justice,Sheriff Burnis Wilkins","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/3-arrested-including-former-deputys-stepmother-11-year-old-homicide-case/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"WMBF News Staff","publishDate":"2026-06-26T22:07:39.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FRZPH6NLQWJDDPOEAVTIL4J2LZM.png%3Fauth%3Dc10d258e14a4670da5cf4dc8a474d9bc3dee19647e1cc64e185f85b352a68dc1%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"3-arrested-including-former-deputys-stepmother-in-11-year-old-homicide-case"},{"id":"71ln50","title":"3 15-year-olds arrested after string of vehicle thefts in Nashville, police say","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A family of eight people, including six children, lost their home on Friday in an aggressive fire. The fire at the Nashville home sparked early Friday afternoon while the family was at home. Everyone made it out unharmed, but their home appears to be a total loss. The Nashville Fire Department told WSMV that when crews arrived at the scene, they found the two-story home “with heavy flames coming through the roof.” “Crews aggressively attacked the fire to contain and extinguish it,” the fire department said. “The fire appeared to have started on a side deck and extended into the attic space.” The Red Cross is now assisting the family as they deal with the expected total loss of their home. Fire investigators are working to determine the cause and origin of the blaze.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/family-with-6-kids-loses-home-nashville-fire/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-26T21:58:25.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSMERGROQEZGSJHAYUQTWXYRPKM.jfif%3Fauth%3Ddff846a9d17e4887b431d2464eb50a66a83bb722c83b027977c34487150c9241%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"family-with-6-kids-loses-home-in-nashville-fire"},{"id":"356i93","title":"Two dead in separate Nashville shootings; woman wounded in domestic violence incident -

(WSMV) - Hours before Jade Benning died from a suspected poisoning, she and her boyfriend took photos as they painted canvases for their unborn child’s room. Now on trial for her murder, testimony reveals he had a “dark demeanor” that night — and that his painting was an alleged self-described “black hole.” That boyfriend, former NFL scout Blaise Taylor, is now on trial for the murders of Benning and their unborn daughter. During Thursday’s hearing, Nijaiha Jackson, who had known 24-year-old Benning from the time she was 6, testified about what she experienced when she went to Benning’s apartment the night her best friend died.Jackson and another friend went to Benning’s apartment for just 15 to 30 minutes to hang out for a short amount of time and discuss Benning’s plans for the nursery. While there, Jackson met Taylor for the first time, as he had been largely absent from the majority of Benning’s pregnancy journey. Jackson said Thursday that nothing seemed “too alarming” — except for something Taylor said as they discussed the nursery. “He told me he was going to paint a black hole,” she recalled during the trial, saying he told her, “I’m going to call it midnight — the further you look, the deeper you go.\" “It was a very dark demeanor about this painting after Jade said she was going to make something for the baby’s room.” Jackson left minutes after that interaction, and on Thursday, the trial revealed what that black hole entailed. Investigators in the case showed photos that were taken just before 8:30 p.m. that night. Those photos reveal two canvases that Benning and Taylor had been painting for the nursery. Benning’s consisted of wavy green, yellow and pink lines with words like “love,” “hope,” and “peace.” Taylor’s canvas, on the other hand, was painted completely black. The finished version of his canvas had a large grayish circle in the middle with similarly-colored markings in the black space around it. After they painted the canvases, Benning and Taylor took photos together holding up the art. Both were seen smiling, and in one image, Benning was kissing Taylor on the cheek. Those photos were taken at about 9:25 p.m. They also took a series of images around the same time of them smiling together without the canvases.Just a few minutes after those photos, Benning called Jackson, who testified she heard her best friend yelling at Taylor, accusing him of poisoning her. The last clear sentence that Jackson testified hearing from her friend in that roughly six-minute phone call was: “You did this so something would happen to the baby.”Around 9:38 p.m., Taylor called 911, saying he thought Benning was having an allergic reaction to food. When asked by the dispatcher if Benning was showing any usual severe allergy symptoms, including rash, hives or swelling, Taylor said she did not appear to be. Benning was clinically dead by the time an ambulance was able to get her to the hospital. Her unborn child, a roughly 25-week-old baby girl she had planned to name Ivy, died two days later. Benning was taken off life support about a week after the incident, on her 25th birthday. A medical examiner has since ruled that Benning died of “acute cocaine toxicity,” calling the manner of death “suspicious.” Despite Taylor’s attorneys blaming Benning for using drugs that led to her death, investigators say they have found no indication she was using drugs or alcohol throughout her pregnancy, and that by all accounts, she was doing everything she could to take care of herself and the fetus.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/27/photos-show-black-hole-former-nfl-scout-painted-nursery-hours-before-pregnant-girlfriends-suspected-murder/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-27T01:55:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FEENKCG6BCFEVLMPSN2QB2TRQ4Y.png%3Fauth%3Df48b4b960a667a4788162bdb5f53ee2e1ad1d21d3d303fdced9d345edfe2b854%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"photos-show-black-hole-former-nfl-scout-painted-for-nursery-hours-before-pregnant-girlfriends-suspec"},{"id":"pdy2lx","title":"Nashville Zoo data center could threaten a federally endangered species with ‘limited’ habitat nearby","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The proposed data center next to the Nashville Zoo could face an additional roadblock — this one with the federal government. The Southern Environmental Law Center and Center for Biological Diversity sent an email to DC Blox, the company behind the proposed site, on Friday. The letter was specifically addressed to the company because of “potential environmental and legal concerns” that could arise from the center’s construction. This campus, which would consist of two data centers with a combined power capacity of 50 megawatts, could potentially harm one of the few remaining habitats for a federally endangered species, the groups said. That species is the Nashville crayfish, described by the groups as “a unique freshwater crustacean species found only in Tennessee, specifically in Mill Creek and its tributaries in Davidson and Williamson Counties.” “Because the Nashville crayfish occupies such a limited area, any threats to its habitat are disproportionately detrimental to the species’ chance of survival,” the letter to DC Blox says.         View this post on Instagram            The DC Blox data center campus, which sits just feet from the Nashville Zoo, would also be just over a quarter of a mile from where the crayfish reside. The organizations said that the specific habitat for the crustaceans is the Cathy Jo Branch, a Mill Creek tributary that flows from the Nashville Zoo to Sevenmile Creek. Cath Jo and Sevenmile Creek have been deemed “‘not supporting for water quality and fail to meet certain water quality criteria,’” the organizations say, adding that the species’ primary threat is increased development that could alter their habitat. “Given the Nashville crayfish’s extremely limited distribution, a failure of erosion and sediment control measures or stormwater infrastructure so close to its occupied habitat could pose an outsized risk of harm,” the letter states. They also said that if DC Blox opts for a water-cooling system, it could potentially contaminate or elevate the temperature of the nearby waterway, further impacting the habitat. While these crustaceans are small, they play an important role in the overall ecosystem. They help regulate algae, invertebrates and detritus in the waterways through their diet, and in turn, are a food source for fish, birds and mammals. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also says that their burrowing behavior helps create microhabitats that provide refuge for small organisms during drought and extreme winter conditions. Potential animal harassmentBut the crayfish aren’t the only potential victims of the data center campus. The letter states that there are more vulnerable species that reside at the Nashville Zoo, including the proposed threatened alligator snapping turtle, proposed endangered eastern hellbender, and other rare species. Because of this, having a data center just feet away “raises concerns regarding liability under the ESA.” Those impacts would likely mostly be noise pollution that studies have shown adversely impact species, including by elevating their stress levels and altering their behaviors. The clouded leopard, one of the rarest cat species in the world, is among the animals at the zoo, and the groups say these animals in particular are “highly sensitive” and considered “notoriously difficult to manage under human care.”         View this post on Instagram            What’s next“In captivity, they have been known to experience significant stress and poor reproductive performance when subjected to high levels of human disturbance or kept in unsuitable enclosures,” the letter says. To prevent any potential issues for the animals, the groups asked that DC Blox “complete any required ESA reviews and obtain any necessary ESA-related permits before proceeding with project activities, including contracting, site preparation, or construction.” During a Metro Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, Doug Sloan, an attorney representing DC Blox, said, “This building is vested.” “They are going to build it there. We already have the permits in hand,” he said. “We just want to work with the community to find a solution.” Nashville continues to consider two actions that could prevent or delay data center development in the area — a temporary moratorium and zoning legislation that could dictate where the centers can be built. Both of those actions have progressed and will now go to the Metro Council for a public hearing, scheduled for July 7.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/nashville-zoo-data-center-could-threaten-federally-endangered-species-with-limited-habitat-nearby/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-26T21:51:46.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FTWDG7MP47BDA7L2JBLQHKMVABQ.png%3Fauth%3D5150f15a8ac008e19f41da0662bd40f56c4ddb84bd59422db9dd9271eed73637%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-zoo-data-center-could-threaten-a-federally-endangered-species-with-limited-habitat-nearby"},{"id":"o8sev0","title":"Mother and daughter murdered in Macon County shooting, neighbors say","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Pat Summitt’s basketball legacy includes eight national championships, multiple Olympic medals and more wins than any other coach in NCAA basketball history.To Lindsey Rojas, she was simply “Aunt Trish.”“Growing up, she was not Pat Summitt. She was, you know, in our — the way we say it — Aunt Trish,” Rojas said.Summitt’s story began on a farm in Middle Tennessee. Rojas said Summitt and her siblings later moved from Montgomery County into Cheatham County.“Farming is what they knew,” Rojas said. “And so all the kids worked on the farm. My grandparents were probably some of the hardest-working people I’ve ever seen, and it made its way into all five kids.”From the farm to basketballOff Oak Plains Road in Clarksville, a young Pat Head Summitt milked cows, baled hay and shot hoops in the barn with her brothers.When Summitt wanted to play organized basketball, there was no girls’ team in Montgomery County. Rojas said Cheatham County had one, so the family moved a few miles down the road so Summitt could play.“They lived just right across the Montgomery County line, and they moved maybe three or four miles down the road,” Rojas said. “But it was so that she had the opportunity to play basketball.”Summitt went on to star in Henrietta and in college, but Rojas said success never pulled her away from home.Rojas recalled an interview in which Summitt was asked about her favorite place after traveling around the world.“She said, ‘Sitting on the porch at my sister’s house, looking out across the pasture and seeing all the cows graze,’” Rojas said.Rojas said Summitt had nine nieces and nephews, and each of them could share stories about how she came home, made time for them and kept up with their lives.“She always wanted to know, like, what’d you make on your report card?” Rojas said. “She would come home and she’d come in and get after me because I didn’t make my bed up. But she was fun. Like, she was truly a fun aunt.”Rojas said Summitt always had homemade ice cream in the freezer, and that her aunt’s ice cream “rivaled” her grandmother’s cooking.“She bought you the cool Christmas presents,” Rojas said. “She was just my aunt growing up. It had wonderful perks.”Those perks included traveling with Summitt and going to basketball games.“I loved riding the bus to games or being able to sit on the bench when I was a little girl and hand water bottles to players as they were coming out of the game,” Rojas said.Rojas said Summitt’s love of home did not stop her from giving her nieces big adventures.“My aunt would call and she would say, ‘Hey, you know, I’m going to Los Angeles. Does Lindsey want to jump on the plane with me and go?’” Rojas said. “Big difference between Sonic and Los Angeles.”Rojas said one trip included staying with Billie Moore, Summitt’s Olympic coach. She also said she went to London in third grade and took family vacations with Summitt.Understanding her impactRojas said losing Summitt still hurts.“After she passed away, I didn’t watch basketball,” Rojas said. “I could not sit there and watch a Lady Vols game. I still choke up when ‘Rocky Top’ plays.”Rojas said she fully understood her aunt’s impact only after Summitt was gone.“I don’t think it was until after she was gone that I truly realized, whoa, like she really changed the game,” Rojas said. “The impact that she had on sports as a whole.”Rojas said her daughter started playing basketball in third grade and became immersed in the game. That brought Rojas back to watching sports.“One of her nicknames was ESPN because you’d wake up the next morning, she was going to tell you who won, what they scored, you know, whatever was going on,” Rojas said.The game still runs through the family. Rojas is a women’s basketball coach, and her daughter is a thousand-point scorer as a sophomore.A legacy still close to homeA statue of Summitt stands at Liberty Park in Clarksville. Her grave is just down the road with the rest of the family.For Rojas, keeping Summitt’s memory alive means telling her children stories about who Summitt was as an aunt.“They can go read books. They can watch interviews. They can watch stories on TV,” Rojas said. “But I want them to know how she was as an aunt.”Rojas said some of those memories live in the family’s kitchen. She said she and her sister did not want anything fancy after Summitt died, but kept some of her old cooking items.“My husband grilled steaks and put them on her big UT platter,” Rojas said. “I think about that every single time. I have to wash it. I think about how many times did we sit around and there were steaks that she had grilled sitting on there.”Rojas said the real monument is how Summitt treated people.“I always saw this tactful, classy woman, but she had a way of making you feel special,” Rojas said. “She had a way of making me feel special, but she also had a way of making all eight of my cousins feel special.”Rojas said family was important to Summitt, who made a point to come home even if she could stay only overnight or for a few hours.“She made time to come home and see my grandparents, her siblings,” Rojas said.Rojas said that the focus on family goes back to her grandparents.“It was nothing for all of us to stop in there, and she always had food waiting,” Rojas said. “She never knew how many farm workers were coming, if all the boys were showing up, if we were popping in there. She always had food. She’s always going to take care of you. Sit down. Stay. Talk. I think that was just rooted in us.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/off-court-how-pat-summitts-legacy-never-took-away-her-love-home/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Steve Mehling","publishDate":"2026-06-26T21:14:11.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FU527U2Y2D5JWFMSF5IFSL5K3CA.jpg%3Fauth%3D987ddb29e4e890c4531b3ae95f33b2acd8e5c0483cc509e5c01dfcace45ed947%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"off-the-court-how-pat-summitts-legacy-never-took-away-her-love-of-home"},{"id":"ifkcmr","title":"‘Altercation’ ends in deadly gunfire at Metro Nashville apartment complex","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A Davidson County medical examiner testified that Jade Benning died from acute cocaine toxicity in the murder trial of former Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor.Taylor is accused of poisoning Benning, his pregnant girlfriend, in February 2023. He faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder.The medical examiner, Dr. Erin Carney, said that she could not recall ever seeing cocaine levels as high as Benning’s in any of the more than 3,000 autopsies she’s performed.Carney testified that Benning’s brain was swollen and her heart chambers were dilated, but found no evidence of a heart attack, pneumonia, lung infection or problems with the placenta or umbilical cord. She added that the unborn baby was about 25 weeks along, had no abnormalities and died as a result of Benning’s death.Acute cocaine toxicity caused the 2023 death of pregnant Tennessee woman Jade Benning, a medical examiner testified on Friday.Murder trial continues for former Titans scout accused of murdering pregnant girlfriend in NashvilleCarney added that cocaine can cause pregnancy loss due to it cutting off the blood flow from the mother to the baby.She added that the circumstances around the ingestion of that cocaine were “suspicious,” as “the police investigation did not show any history of illicit drug use.” The testimony came during Day 4 of the murder trial for former NFL scout Blaise Taylor.The testimony came during Day 4 of the murder trial for former NFL scout Blaise Taylor.“As soon as she found out she was pregnant, she wanted to do everything she could to take care of herself and take care of that baby,” the medical examiner testified. “And it didn’t really fit with your classic using drugs for the euphoric effects and accidental death.” The defense questioned whether the death could have been an accidental overdose. During a hearing in April 2024, a medical examiner testified that the excessive amounts of cocaine found in Benning’s system were too much to infer recreational drug use.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/cocaine-that-killed-pregnant-tn-woman-suspicious-medical-examiner-testifies-murder-trial-former-nfl-scout/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caleb Wethington","publishDate":"2026-06-26T21:04:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FPFH7KAANW5AUPKEYGOT6ZSNZAE.png%3Fauth%3Dcd2d21ba8f04e0351c09d4d85dab06f68b703822e67c3bbf9bc357310c8dbe39%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cocaine-that-killed-pregnant-tn-woman-suspicious-medical-examiner-testifies-in-murder-trial-of-forme"},{"id":"uxq8zw","title":"Simultaneous vehicle crashes reported just after sunrise in Lawrence County involving utility pole and rope rescue","excerpt":"LAWRENCE CO., Tenn.

(WSMV) - Across Tennessee, some of the most important streets in Black music history are being remembered in two ways at the same time — through new revitalization projects and through museums working to preserve what development and urban renewal nearly erased. From Beale Street in Memphis, to Jefferson Street in Nashville, to Vine Avenue in Knoxville, and the Big 9 in Chattanooga— each place tells a different story of culture, community and music.Watch WSMV4’s special report on the preservation of Black music at the top of this story. Beale Street in Memphis - Beale Street is one of the most recognizable music corridors in America— an international landmark rooted in Black culture and the blues. And now, Beale is getting a major investment focused on what leaders say will help secure its future.The State of Tennessee awarded the Downtown Memphis Commission a $74 million safety grant for public safety and infrastructure improvements in the Beale Street Historic District— work meant to strengthen the district and support the crowds that come here from all over the world.Jefferson Street in Nashville - Nashville— like many cities —saw urban renewal projects that disrupted Black neighborhoods that once held the culture, the businesses and the music. Jefferson Street’s story includes what was lost. For decades, this corridor was a Black cultural epicenter, packed with clubs and talent, a place where musicians came to compete, collaborate and break through.Now Jefferson Street is getting a major makeover. Nashville’s “Choose How You Move” initiative is expected to improve pedestrian infrastructure like sidewalks and street crossings and add more green space, efforts aimed at bringing the corridor closer to what longtime residents remember.Lorenzo Washington is the owner of the Jefferson Street Sound Museum. He said the museum is built on the idea that history is often protected first in ordinary places, like through families saving photos, posters and memories long before anyone called it a collection. Inside, he’s preserving proof that Jefferson Street helped shape music history far beyond Nashville.Vine Street in Knoxville - Knoxville’s Beck Cultural Corridor is aimed at putting Vine Street’s history back on the streets through signs and historical markers that highlight what used to exist there.Rev. Renee Kesler is the president of Beck Cultural Exchange Center. It traces its roots to the community response after federal urban renewal reshaped this part of the city.“It went in three phases here in Knoxville. And as a result of that, the people got together and in 1975, they began to bring all their artifacts, their history, their memorabilia to this place,” Rev. Kessler said.Kesler says the preservation now happening at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center is also a form of economic development because cultural experiences change how people travel.9th Street in Chattanooga - In Chattanooga, the story centers on a street that once lived and breathed music: 9th Street, known as The Big 9. Today, that history is kept alive through the Bessie Smith Cultural Center and the annual Big 9 Music Fest.Bessie Smith Cultural Center - It was created in 1983 in a one-room building down the street. It was once known Chattanooga African American Museum. Elijah Cameron is the VP or Operations at the center. He says the Big 9 pulled people from across the South—because music wasn’t just entertainment. It was the center of Black business and community life.Each city’s approach looks different— investment, infrastructure, preservation and public storytelling— but the mission is shared: protecting the cultural corridors where Black music history was made and acknowledging the communities that were disrupted along the way.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/streets-that-still-sing-preserving-black-music-history-tennessee/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Jerry Shannon","publishDate":"2026-06-26T20:57:32.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FVPYIR4QHQNEO3H2IBJZ2NGLI5A.png%3Fauth%3D6bc8f8f238f08bd411fee8d97281507bd62e8fe715e0513381a206d6c09ee2a6%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"streets-that-still-sing-preserving-black-music-history-in-tennessee"},{"id":"2try1i","title":"Nashville artists work to keep soul music alive","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Honky-tonk bars are a main attraction along Broadway, but Nashville’s music history reaches beyond country music to another distinctive sound: soul.Jimmy Church has been performing for 69 years. He started performing at age 3 in church with his grandmother and recorded his first record in high school.“It’s more of a feeling thing than actually a story,” Church said.Church said recording his first record helped him decide he wanted a career in music.“I decided I wanted to make a living at this,” Church said. “I decided I didn’t want to do anything but play music.”Jefferson Street’s music historyThere were few outlets for Black artists to perform, but Church built a career in his hometown of Nashville through the community on Jefferson Street.The historically Black neighborhood became an epicenter for blues, rock and jazz. It was also a major stop on the Chitlin’ Circuit, a network of venues where Black entertainers were welcome to perform during racial segregation.The neighborhood helped build the careers of music legends including Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, The Temptations, Little Richard and others.Lucius “Spoonman” Talley, 86, is still drawing crowds by making music with spoons. Talley originally learned to play drums and performed in New York before returning to Nashville.Talley said the days he performed at Club Baron were among his best.“It wasn’t nothing but fun,” Talley said. “It wasn’t nothing but good times... I was sitting on top of the world to come here and see the stars practicing.”Club Baron’s futureTalley said Club Baron became popular for its sound.“It’s a difference in reading music and playing with a feeling,” Talley said.Talley said country artists would come to listen and have Black artists re-record some of their albums, but the Black artists were not credited as personnel.“They laid the sheet music, the tracks down there,” Talley said. “They said, ‘We want you to record this,’ but our name never went on none of the records as personnel. They’d give us something like $10.”The music scene changed in 1968 when the city decided to construct Interstate 40 through the neighborhood, destroying several nightclubs in the area and displacing residents. Artists went to other cities including Chicago and Memphis.Club Baron is one of the last venues from that era still standing on Jefferson Street, which was recently designated as a historical property. The current owner is planning to restore it as a club where people in the community can support local artists.Talley said he would like to see Club Baron return to what it once was. “We need it bad in this town,” Talley said. “We need it because all of the club’s owners are dying out and we don’t have enough younger people coming to the table.”Church and other artists continue performing at Carol Ann’s and other venues to keep soul music alive for future generations.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/nashville-artists-work-keep-soul-music-alive/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Amber Jayanth","publishDate":"2026-06-26T20:49:31.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FCE7JYQL2AJDAZEXMY4QNDRV2KU.jpeg%3Fauth%3Db655da57be7725c0cc267d77d1fc91ad2f8e88ee17cfc7dd22fe44ef0c02ded9%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-artists-work-to-keep-soul-music-alive"},{"id":"izv3be","title":"Less than half of Tennessee students are proficient in any school subject, data shows","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Less than half of Tennessee students are proficient in any school subject, a new WSMV4 Investigates analysis of state data shows. The Tennessee Department of Education shared a press release this week touting gains in student performance in the 2025-26 Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program, the state’s standardized testing. But what the state did not call out was that, despite the modest gains, most students are still struggling to grasp basic concepts in reading, math, science and history. And it’s an issue that has plagued Tennessee for years. More than 50% of students in ‘pivotal’ years are not retaining knowledge, testing data showsTennessee students are by-and-large not grasping major concepts, according to years of TCAP results reviewed by WSMV4 Investigates. And they haven’t for a long time. (function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();An analysis of 3rd through 8th graders’ performance from 2023 through 2025 shows that the majority of Tennessee students are moving on to the next grade without meaningfully retaining the concepts they learned the year prior. In fact, it showed that over 50% of students did not meet expectations in every single subject tested.Students in that age range scored the lowest in TCAP math testing, with just under 43% of students in that age group receiving a proficient score. TDEC breaks student scores into four categories: Exceeded expectationsMet expectationsApproaching expectationsBelow expectationsFor the purposes of WSMV4’s analysis, students who met or exceeded expectations were considered “proficient,” which falls in line with TDEC’s definition of those categories. The testing shows a trend that could endanger students’ educations long past elementary and middle school. The performance of students in this age group, particularly among third graders, is considered crucial. The National Parent Teacher Association explains that third grade is a “pivotal year” for children because it lays the groundwork for the rest of their primary schooling. “Learning to read with fluency and confidence will serve as a foundation for the reading demands in later grades,” said the National PTA, which is considered “the oldest and largest child advocacy association in America.” One out of two high schoolers are not proficient in English, math, history or biologyHigh schoolers’ scores were, in some areas, even worse. The weakest subject for high schoolers in Tennessee is math. Less than one out of three Tennessee high schoolers were proficient in math in 2025, TDEC data shows. And that stat comes after the state saw a 7-percentage-point jump from just two years prior, when only 23.1% of high schoolers received proficient math scores. (function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();High schoolers had the highest score in reading, with nearly 47% of students testing at or above expectations. The state in 2025 saw year-over-year improvements in every subject except history, which remained virtually the same, dropping less than 1 percentage point. Still, more than 50% of high schoolers received scores that did not meet expectations that year. Government data shows Tennessee students outpace most of the countryAn important note for parents on this data is that, although it may seem alarming, it is not necessarily unusual. The National Center for Education Statistics uses The Nation’s Report Card (TNRC) to track “student achievement and learning experiences” across the U.S., as mandated by Congress and led by the Commissioner of Education Statistics.TNRC most recently available data is from 2024, and it shows that the average 8th grader scored between 29% and 33% proficiency in math, reading, science and writing. Meaning that Tennessee’s levels of student comprehension are on-par with national numbers. The report card compares student performance by state in grades four, eight and 12, although for some grades the numbers available are dated or limited.

Bill Lee said. “As we advance our efforts to ready students for success both in school and in life, Tennessee remains dedicated to supporting teachers and empowering families through diverse pathways to achievement, ensuring every student has an opportunity to succeed.” And while the report does show gains across most subjects, it still indicates a lack of retention and comprehension across all age groups. The scores also showed even greater learning gaps among students with historically fewer resources, including economically disadvantaged students, Black or African American students, English-learners, Hispanic students and students with disabilities.English Scores: Less than one out of three students are meeting or exceeding expectations in English and Language Arts studies in 2026, the newly-released data shows. Although the state has released an overview of 2026 TCAP scores, a downloadable spreadsheet with more detailed data has yet to be released. The state noted that 2026 scores do not include science because it is “in a standard-setting year.”Families can access students’ individual scores in July. The state has seen a minor overall trend upward in ELA scores since 2019, the report shows. In three out of the last seven years, about 29% of students were found to be proficient at ELA. But in 2026, about 32% of students were meeting or exceeding expectations in that subject, an increase in 2 percentage points since 2025. ELA performance is weakest among middle schoolers, with eight-graders scoring the lowest, at 32% proficiency. Math Scores: Across all grades, the state is seeing about 28% proficiency in math, the same average seen in 2026. That means in both years, more than seven out of 10 students were not showing a grasp of most mathematics topics. High schoolers had the lowest math scores in 2026, coming in at 27% proficiency, the report states. Social Studies Scores:“Tennessee has rebounded and accelerated 11.4 percentage points statewide since 2019,” the state report says. The report shows that 37% of all students met or exceeded social studies expectations, as part of a continuing upward trend. Middle schoolers showed a significantly better performance in social studies than high schoolers, coming in at 39% proficiency. That’s 11 percentage points higher than high schoolers in 2026.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/less-than-half-tennessee-students-are-proficient-any-school-subject-data-shows/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-26T20:48:32.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FAAPVRAFC75D65FLHCKURFFBGZE.png%3Fauth%3Dfc60abd5ad99f666a92579e0eeeb0ec0fcf04abd0d917ee31f55ef62b7cec9fa%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"less-than-half-of-tennessee-students-are-proficient-in-any-school-subject-data-shows"},{"id":"phtrmv","title":"The music that refuses to fade: Preserving Vine Street’s legacy","excerpt":"KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) — Vine Street once served as a bustling center of music and culture, but over time, that sound faded away.Ralphe Armstrong recalls stories his dad told him about Vine Street.“They hung out there, they came into all of the after-hour joints, and they would go there after hour, two in the morning, and bring the instruments, and people say, well, come on in, and they pass the hat around, that’s how they got paid,” Armstrong said.His dad, Howard Armstrong, was one fourth of the Tennessee Chocolate Drops. They were a music group whose reach expanded out to Chicago and Detroit, but it all started on Vine Street in Knoxville.“Vine Street, especially the eastern part of Vine Street, was mainly African American, an African American commercial area in the early to mid 20th century,” said Jack Neely, who has spent years documenting that lost history.Vine Street once was the heartbeat of Black Knoxville, filled with clubs, businesses, and music that stretched long after midnight. Some people called it Little Harlem.The Tennessee Chocolate Drops cemented their legacy with a song called “Vine Street Rag.”“They just wanted to play, they love music and they’d play till the doggone sun come up in the morning,” Armstrong said.Neely interviewed Howard Armstrong before he passed away.“He remembered pulling doors, he called it. They would walk into a barber shop or a business of any kind and start playing music and wait till they kicked them out, otherwise people would throw nickels at them,” Neely said.Then the music on the street quieted.“Then came urban renewal. They came in and just tore down almost everything in that area. They had this massive thinking in terms of big scenes and flattening things for giant roads, and that’s what happened,” Neely said.Ralphe Armstrong, a decorated musician who has played bass with Carlos Santana, says his dad’s legacy lives through him and through his story that continues to be told.“You know, somebody’s gotta keep the next generation going,” Armstrong said.Armstrong says he’s committed to making sure the next generation understands the history and the music that came from Vine Street, including by opening a music school in Detroit.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/music-that-refuses-fade-preserving-vine-streets-legacy/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Danielle  Ledbetter","publishDate":"2026-06-26T20:43:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F466LKQHR2VHQZBZS5BYNZYFQII.jpeg%3Fauth%3D37c60b4f4ad0628981ba344f12fdcdd0c38927e0548e91a4627aac999728bcff%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"the-music-that-refuses-to-fade-preserving-vine-streets-legacy"},{"id":"6z879x","title":"Alan Jackson will perform his final concert Saturday at Nissan Stadium.

(WSMV) - The Tennessee Tribune has announced the death of its founder, publisher and executive officer, Rosetta Miller-Perry, who also worked for the federal civil rights commission. The Tribune said the CEO died at the age of 91. “A trailblazing publisher, civil rights pioneer and entrepreneur, Miller-Perry dedicated her life to ensuring the stories, achievements and voices of Tennessee’s African American community were told with accuracy, dignity and purpose,” the Tribune said. “Before founding the Tennessee Tribune, she spent more than 25 years in public service, including working for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and serving with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.”Loved ones describe her as “a force in Nashville” and beyond: “She blazed trails where none existed.”The Middle Tennessee publication says on its website that Miller-Perry, a mother of three, served in the U.S. Navy and was one of the first Black students to graduate from Memphis State University. After moving to Washington, D.C. to attend Howard University Law School, she also worked for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and later, became the Director of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It was after retiring from that career path that she launched into the news industry. Miller-Perry started up the Tennessee Tribune in 1991, using $70,000 of her personal savings to do so after she was denied financing by multiple banks. Since then, the publication has grown to be a beloved part of local news in the state, growing to more than 150,000 weekly readers. She worked tirelessly beyond the newsroom to help provide resources to Nashville’s Black community, founding the Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce and the city’s chapter of Les Gemmes, which aims to “promote and provide charitable, educational, civic and cultural activities aimed at enhancing the populations of the various communities.” The Tribune said funeral arrangements will be shared as they become available. American Baptist College, for which Miller-Perry sat on the Board of Trustees, described her as a “visionary entrepreneur and unwavering champion for civil rights.” “Ms. Perry dedicated her life to amplifying voices, advancing justice, and strengthening communities across Tennessee,” the school said on social media. “Through her leadership of The Tennessee Tribune and her lifelong commitment to service, she leaves a legacy that will continue to inspire generations.”‘Truly a force’The family of Miller-Perry confirmed her death Friday afternoon, saying, “the light of a true legend and icon has dimmed.” “To many in Nashville and across the entire country, she was known and celebrated as a trailblazer, a pioneer, and a difference maker,” the family said. “...She will be greatly missed and leaves a heavy absence in our community and our nation.”Nashville’s Register of Deeds Karen Johnson said she is feeling the loss on a more personal level. “To me, she was Mama Rosetta,” she said. “She was my Godmother, one of my mother’s best friends, and after my mother passed away, she lovingly stepped into that role in my life. When I was married, Mama Rosetta stood in my mother’s place. That is a gift I will carry in my heart forever.”Johnson described Miller-Perry as “someone whose wisdom I sought, whose advice I trusted, and whose example inspired me.” “Mama Rosetta was truly a force in Nashville, the State of Tennessee and Nationally. She blazed trails where none existed, especially with The Tennessee Tribune, the Press and the Black Press, opened doors for generations who followed, and paved the way for women like me to lead. She was a woman of substance, purpose, conviction, and grit,” she said. “...Rest well, Mama Rosetta. Your legacy lives on in all of us whose lives you touched. You will never be forgotten.” Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell called Miller-Perry a “legend.” He said he met her “years ago” when he moved a few blocks from Jefferson Street. He also received what he described as a “Rosettagram — a stinging screed about something important to her where she judged that I had erred.\"“And then one of us would pick up the phone, and somehow it seemed like things would get sorted out with the power of her passion intact and the point of her pen less severe,” O’Connell said. “...As a city, I hope we can do a better job of realizing that potential in her honor.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/tennessee-tribune-founder-civil-rights-pioneer-rosetta-miller-perry-has-died/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-26T20:39:36.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F5JVBCSWDNNAVZFOWSTCNVK243E.JPG%3Fauth%3Dedccacdb2142be0e70585f46d1fa042e125fe84e2f917b8602d88e8051ccb931%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tennessee-tribune-founder-and-civil-rights-pioneer-rosetta-miller-perry-has-died"},{"id":"8vsh1d","title":"What’s next for data centers in Nashville?

(WSMV) - In a city known as the Home of the Blues, on a street lined with neon signs, barbeque joints and live music halls, sits a place Rodd Bland calls home. “For me, walking into B.B. King’s Blues Club, it’s second nature, like breathing. Whereas, you know, it’s the namesake of my godfather, Mr. B.B. King. It’s just another extension of the legacy that’s been passed down to me by him, by my dad,” Bland said.And what a legacy it is. Rodd Bland is the son of Bobby “Blue” Bland, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer known for the hit songs “Turn on Your Love Light” and “Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City.” He is also known as one of the greatest storytellers of Blues music. “Blues... describes any and every kind of emotion that the average human being can hope to have,” Rodd Bland said. “There’s love, there’s loss, there’s happiness, there’s sadness, there’s joy. Any type of emotion that a human being can feel, blues always has.” Beale Street was where the “Blues” sound was coming from. Bland’s father, B.B. King and the Queen of Beale Street, Ruby Wilson, put Memphis on the map. At its peak, everyone wanted to be there. To this day, people flock to Beale Street for just a taste of what it was like. And as we walked the hallowed grounds, it became obvious that things had changed. “Has Beale Street had its heyday? Yes. Is Beale Street fading? No,” Rodd Bland said. “Because as long as we have musicians like the guys that are behind me getting ready to take the stage again for their second set of B.B.’s, or people that are playing down in various venues on Beale, there will always be Beale Street.” Rodd Bland is an artist in his own right, often playing in the same venues made famous by the men he calls his two dads. That experience taught him about the music but also instilled in him valuable lessons. “That helped to serve me to, when I’m sitting behind my dad playing drums, if he threw his arm around, I mean, you know, the signs, the signals. Or if B.B. wanted to, you know, go into a different tune while we’re in the middle of said tune that we’re playing, just be ready,” Rodd Bland recalled.Rodd Bland is ready for the challenge. Whenever he steps foot in B.B. Kings, he honors the two men who paved the way. Giving thanks for the lessons they left behind, while also promising to keep their vision of Beale Street and the music of Beale Street alive. “Nothing stays the same. And with Beale, it’s only gonna get better the more that we utilize our resources, which are the musicians that are still around from back in the day, that are still able to perform, or to impart the wisdom that they gave to me and to so many others. As long as we have that resource, it’s only gonna continue to flourish,” he said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/memphis-musician-keeping-blues-alive-beale-street/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Marius Payton","publishDate":"2026-06-26T20:15:54.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FFVFHVTCK2FDBLG6EN3RHMNLXWI.JPG%3Fauth%3D450e992f9998a6c5565a18b018fb3a5b9fb45001a489b17d53b32bcf7c743515%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"a-memphis-musician-keeping-blues-alive-on-beale-street"},{"id":"a5mzxs","title":"Man allegedly posing as an officer attempts to pull over undercover deputies, officials say","excerpt":"HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla.

Dwayne Myers has run Dynamic Automotive, an independent auto repair shop in Frederick, Maryland, for more than 30 years. He said getting access to the data and tools needed to work on today’s vehicles is one of the biggest challenges facing his business.“The way I used to fix cars is totally different than the way they do them today,” Myers said. “There’s lots of data that’s created by your car. You need professional tools just to reset the maintenance light anymore on a car…and we can’t even turn that off for you if we lose that access.”Myers and other independent auto repair shop owners say the access issue can make it harder for them to do their jobs and serve customers.Bill Hanvey, president and CEO of the Auto Care Association, which represents companies in the independent auto care industry, said delays or limits in accessing vehicle data can also affect drivers’ wallets.“So, if you’re a consumer, now you’ve got your car tied up for four hours and the shop owner says they can’t do the job – you have to go to the dealership, which on average is about 36% more than the independent repair facility,” Hanvey said.The bill, known as the REPAIR Act, is currently before Congress. Supporters say its goal is to ensure independent repair shops have the same access to vehicle diagnostic data and repair information that automakers provide their preferred service networks.Republican Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio said the legislation has broad support across party lines.“I think we have the makings of a good bill and a clear majority that can pass if we can get it to the floor and get a vote,” Davidson said.Myers said he is confident the bill will become law.“I am not just hopeful. I know that’s going to pass because it’s the right thing. It’s the right thing for our communities,” he said.The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which initially opposed earlier versions of the REPAIR Act, said the version now moving through Congress is different. In a letter to lawmakers, the alliance said automakers already committed to making repair instructions, tools and diagnostic codes available to independent repairers under a 2014 agreement.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/independent-repair-shops-say-vehicle-data-access-threatens-their-future/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caresse Jackman","publishDate":"2026-06-26T19:14:16.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FV6CKLHLREBDPJBUTVR2N5Z4UYM.png%3Fauth%3D56ef4dc6ef7451d2ed30e3fed2ca802681e666b693d904fc683d1b576e592343%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"independent-repair-shops-say-vehicle-data-access-threatens-their-future"},{"id":"ll2u2h","title":"Friday marks deadline to appeal property tax value, classification in Davidson County","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Plus, when clutter becomes a safety risk: the warning signs, why it can escalate quickly, and steps to take before it turns into an emergency. And finally, a roll into skate culture, where the rink becomes therapy, community and a reset for skaters of all ages. How to know when it’s time for hip replacement surgery Around half a million hip replacements are done in the U.S. each year, according to the American College of Rheumatology. Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said the key for people who suffer is paying attention to symptoms — and how much they affect daily life. “When you first start having issues, you look at conservative measures,” Rogers said. Those can include physical therapy, weight management and some anti-inflammatories. But she said there’s a point when it becomes more than an inconvenience, especially when pain interferes with basics like sleep, and loss of independence should be taken seriously.

Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said hoarding isn’t simply a cleaning problem that family members can solve with a weekend cleanup. “This isn’t something that family can step in and take away. It is a psychological disorder when it comes to the hoarding side,” she said. Many families try to solve the problem by organizing a major cleanup effort, but the Aging Untold experts warn this approach typically fails. Without addressing the underlying psychological issues, the clutter inevitably returns, sometimes even worse than before. Hoarding behavior starts early, but if what you’re seeing is a new behavior, it could signal cognitive decline, Cradduck said. Read the full article here.

Otis said. He is in his 70s and teaches basic roller-skating skills to a new generation at Skate Galaxy in Baton Rouge. “Once you come in here and put skates on, you’re part of the skate family.

(WCAX/Gray News) — A grandmother in New York state is suspected of poisoning her daughter and four grandchildren, leading to their deaths.Police were called to Amy Steadman’s home in Mechanicville, New York, for a welfare check Tuesday after neighbors said they had not heard from the family for several days.Inside, officers found six people dead: Steadman, 64; Sarah Myers, 44; Harper Harmon, 13; Hudson Harmon, 11; Gavin Harmon, 10; and Gracelynn Harmon, 10.Investigators said Steadman was Myers’ mother and the children’s grandmother.

One of the children also had sharp-force injuries.Mechanicville Police Chief William Rabbit said a handwritten note strongly suggests Steadman was involved, but police have not made a final determination.“Mechanicville is a close-knit city. Many residents knew the family involved, have children and grandchildren of their own, or simply cannot comprehend the loss of six lives under such heartbreaking circumstances,” the chief said.Police reaffirmed that they believe there is no threat to the public.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/grandmother-suspected-poisoning-her-daughter-4-grandchildren-death-police-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"WCAX News Team, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-26T16:42:01.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FIRVYKSTCIVEM5BGRCR5T3BFLSY.png%3Fauth%3D35422227ee05bc2df7d56b8119df8bf644191260edbfab56e6c7e13a95b1a7c4%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"grandmother-suspected-of-poisoning-her-daughter-and-4-grandchildren-to-death-police-say"},{"id":"h2bnnd","title":"Breaking the silence on urinary incontinence and moving past stigma","excerpt":"(Aging Untold) — Some people who experience urinary incontinence suffer in silence due to embarrassment and stigma.

The good news is that help is available. Understanding the types of incontinence “The definition of incontinence means that you’re losing urine unintentionally,” Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said. There are several types and each has different causes and solutions. Stress incontinence occurs when pressure on the bladder causes leakage during activities like coughing, sneezing or laughing. When you cough, that pressure pushes into where the sphincter is and it tightens it, Rogers said. But if you have any kind of relaxation, the bladder comes down and when you cough, you’re forcing the muscle to squeeze the urine out. Urge incontinence is different. “You have the urge to get there, but you just can’t get there,” Rogers said. “So you have to hurry up and go. Sometimes you’ll see people with diapers, people have to change clothes all the time. Those are signs that they have an issue.” Other types include mixed incontinence (a combination of stress and urge), overflow incontinence (common in people with diabetes who may not feel their bladder filling) and incontinence related to urinary tract infections that irritate the bladder, Rogers said. The shame we learned as children The stigma surrounding incontinence runs deep and it starts early. “We have trained people to be ashamed,” Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said. “When we’re potty training our children, we very frequently say, ‘Big girls don’t pee their pants. Big boys don’t mess their pants.’ And so we automatically put that shame in the game.” This messaging follows us into adulthood, making it harder to seek help or even talk about the problem. “It’s not medically normal, it is something that we very frequently — many, many people deal with,\" Cradduck said. “Until we can start talking about these things openly without shame, it’s going to continue to hide in the dark. And what hides in the dark will cause problems.” The hidden cost of silence: isolation and more When people don’t address incontinence, the consequences extend far beyond the physical. Isolation becomes a real problem. Many older adults begin limiting their activities — avoiding outings, social events and time with loved ones — because they’re worried about access to bathrooms or accidents in public. “If you have a loved one that says, ‘I don’t want to go out,’ or ‘I don’t want to go out for the afternoon,’ ask the question, watch, observe,” O’Rourke advises. This simple step can help you identify whether incontinence is affecting someone’s quality of life. Financial concerns also keep people from seeking solutions. “The other thing I’ve heard and seen is, ‘I can’t afford to be incontinent.’ It’s a very expensive thing to handle,” O’Rourke said. However, there are more affordable options available now. “There are washable alternatives, so do some research into other products that are maybe less expensive, so that you can get out more,” O’Rourke said. In extreme cases, the consequences can be serious. “It can even lead to eviction,” Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, said. “If your apartment smells like your urine, you may be told that you have to move out of your independent living. So it’s a very serious issue.” Practical solutions and prevention strategies Several approaches can help manage or reduce incontinence: Strengthen the pelvic floor. “There are electromagnetic chairs now. If you’re a candidate, you can strengthen the pelvic floor,” Rogers said. Pelvic floor exercises can also be effective. Prioritize hygiene. Cradduck recommends using a peri bottle (a squeeze bottle used for cleansing) if you don’t have a bidet. “Anything that you can help rinse it off because most urinary tract infections are E. coli bacteria, which comes from the BM (bowel movement),” Cradduck said. “So it’s about getting clean and taking care of hygiene.” Change incontinence products regularly. Over-wearing products can increase infection risk. “A lot of it comes from over-wearing incontinent products after they’ve been soiled and trying to save money,” Cradduck warns. “I’ve seen people that will hang them to dry and I’m like, ‘You’re putting a petri dish back on.’” If you need one, wear an incontinence product and keep moving. “Don’t be afraid or ashamed to wear an incontinent product,” Cradduck said. Key takeaways What irinary incontinence is. It is the loss of bladder control, according to the Mayo Clinic. Incontinence is common and treatable. Many people experience it. The first step is recognizing the signs and talking openly about it without shame. Know the type you’re experiencing. Stress, urge, mixed and overflow incontinence each have different causes and solutions. Identifying which type you have helps guide treatment. Isolation is a serious consequence. When people avoid social activities and outings due to incontinence concerns, their overall health and well-being can suffer. Watch for signs in loved ones and gently ask questions. Affordable solutions. From washable products to pelvic floor exercises to electromagnetic chairs, there are options at various price points. Hygiene and product care matter. Proper cleaning and regular product changes prevent infections and other complications that can worsen the problem or lead to serious consequences like eviction.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/breaking-silence-urinary-incontinence-moving-past-stigma/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"LeAnne Gendreau, Katherine Ambrose  , Sondra 'Sam' Cradduck , Amy Amy Cameron O’","publishDate":"2026-06-26T16:33:54.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FNY6ZCMBDFJFG3FB6F3GUXNKTZE.png%3Fauth%3D52c492df91a87d426bd992e775878bb7a35b26eb71c8099a481edc96261aac9c%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"breaking-the-silence-on-urinary-incontinence-and-moving-past-stigma"},{"id":"yo5fde","title":"City of Waverly removes low head dam from Trace Creek as efforts to prevent another flooding event continue","excerpt":"WAVERLY, Tenn.

(WSMV) - As part of an ongoing effort to prevent another flooding event, the city of Waverly revealed one more step to that end, which comes with some added environmental benefits.The city announced that a low-head dam in the Trace Creek near Park Circle was removed this week. The removal will hopefully help reduce the risk of flooding from the creek during heavy rainfall.The decision was made after numerous meetings with the city’s mayor, Buddy Frazier, and nearby landowners who ultimately expressed support for the project.Following the deadly flooding in August 2021 in Waverly, Tennessee, the city’s leadership is continuously working to identify potential improvements to the town and county’s infrastructure to prevent another catastrophic event. Governor Bill Lee helped create the Waverly/Humphreys County Flood Recovery Task Force to spearhead such projects.“As the community moves forward with recovery and planning, the City has been working with a variety of local, state, federal, and private partners to identify actions to create a safer, more flood risk resilient home for our residents,” the Waverly leadership explained on Thursday.The removal of the small dam will also reportedly help some protected wildlife in Trace Creek, which connects with the Tennessee River roughly 10 miles downstream from where it joins the Duck River.The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) reports that the Duck River holds regional importance as it hosts a wide array of species, including mussels, the hellbender salamander, and numerous fish species. The city’s Flood Recovery Task Force believes the dam removal “could potentially benefit species dispersal in both the Trace Creek and Duck River systems.”The West Tennessee River Basin Authority coordinated the removal project with site and survey design and other technical assistance. A grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provided the funding.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/city-waverly-removes-low-head-dam-trace-creek-efforts-prevent-another-flooding-event-continue/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Tony Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-26T16:20:32.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F42CELQXIIZB3HDPIC55XUBU62I.jpg%3Fauth%3Da54e215784d0d0eb6ec1ffd705909c1d63561a23867d8fec25ada29f0939cafc%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"city-of-waverly-removes-low-head-dam-from-trace-creek-as-efforts-to-prevent-another-flooding-event-c"},{"id":"jbeh30","title":"‘Honoring life, legacy & impact.’ Nashville museum to hold tribute for producer Tay Keith after his death","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Some skaters say the renewed popularity is more than a trend. It’s about freedom, community and a chance to reset. At Skate Galaxy in Baton Rouge, skaters described the rink as a place to focus and leave daily problems outside. “When you come in here, you leave all those negative problems outside because once you put skates on, you have to stay focused,” Coach L.T. Otis said. Otis has been skating since he was 5 and calls it “an addiction.” He is now in his 70s and teaches basic roller-skating skills to a new generation at the rink. People keep coming back for the endorphins, the chance to keep learning and to meet people “from all over the world,” he said. Anna Moore, one of Otis’ students, is from Vietnam and said she wanted to learn how to skate. Another skater, an IT technician, said he comes to Skate Galaxy at night for a mental reset. “This is my safe zone,” he said. “This is where I come to de-stress throughout the week.” Lance Hull, said he turned to skating during difficult times, including after getting divorced. People of all ages take part. “Once you come in here and put skates on, you’re part of the skate family. Nobody’s going to laugh at you for falling or making a mistake,” Otis said. One skater said she is 66 and is not nervous about getting hurt. Naomi Evans, 15, said she has had trouble with depression as a teenager and skating “truly brings out the happy parts” of her life. The Aging Untold experts said teh story about skating brought back memories. “I used to go skating, I think in seventh and eighth grade. That was the thing to do on the weekends and learn skating skills, maybe hold hands with somebody,” Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, said. Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, recalls roller skating in high school. “We were in high school looking for that disco ball coming down, and then the lights kind of turn it around and flirt with all the guys,” O’Rourke said. “Oh, we were all over in high school.” Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said roller skating requires focus. “You’re not thinking about anything else because you’re trying not to fall,” she said. Gerontologist Sam Cradduck does not plan on roller skating. “I’m not meant to be on wheels unless it’s a steering wheel in my hand or handlebars,” Cradduck said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/roller-skating-resurgence-brings-community-stress-relief/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Tisha Powell, LeAnne Gendreau","publishDate":"2026-06-26T16:01:23.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FEWCITTGNFFEYPBZ3G2V2H3VQAM.png%3Fauth%3D3dff7c3ec84109b28a3c17bf01e0003473f3f692bb3dc9da8b9c51deed026771%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"roller-skating-resurgence-brings-community-stress-relief"},{"id":"73gruq","title":"Motorists on all Tennessee interstates can now access the HELP network.

For these men, the enemy is not a foreign army, but a silent, invisible poison that they believe has been coursing through their bodies for decades, leaving a trail of sickness and disease. This is the story of their fight for recognition, a struggle against a ticking clock and a bureaucratic wall, centered on a toxic herbicide known as Agent Orange.A Life of StruggleIn a small Kansas town, Art Gentry’s home is a testament to a life of struggle. The roof is failing, the front porch sags and the driveway is in desperate need of repair. At 77, Art can’t do the work himself. His body, much like his house, has seen better days. In a kitchen cabinet above his stove, sits what he calls his “branch pharmacy.” Art takes as many as nine medications per day. Each one is working to treat a litany of debilitating health issues. “Myasthenia gravis was the first big one that hit me really hard,” he explains. “I also have hypertension. I had skin cancer across my forehead. Type 2 diabetes and prostate cancer.”Those last two diagnoses are crucial. They are illnesses the U.S. government has officially linked to exposure to Agent Orange, the highly toxic chemical defoliant sprayed during the Vietnam War to eliminate enemy cover. While the U.S. acknowledges the devastating health consequences, from multiple forms of cancer to Parkinson’s disease and diabetes, it has created a strict set of rules for veterans seeking benefits. How a Veteran is Approved for Additional BenefitsTo qualify, a veteran must prove they served in a “presumptive exposure location,” a specific list of places where the government admits the chemical was used or stored.Art Gentry is convinced he was exposed, but his story doesn’t fit neatly into the government’s predetermined boxes. In 1971, he was stationed at Subic Bay in the Philippines. An avid swimmer in his youth, he frequently visited the base’s beaches. “Seven different times before I got told I was in a restricted area that was not posted,” he recalls. The reason for the restriction, he believes, was its proximity to a leaking chemical storage facility. “It was near the Agent Orange storage facility that was actually leaking down a ramp into the water there.”Because Subic Bay is not on the official presumptive exposure location list, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) denied Art’s claim for benefits. These benefits could provide thousands of dollars a month to help him fix his home and manage his deteriorating health. The denial came despite a powerful precedent. Previously Approved ClaimsIn 2002, two Marines who also served at Subic Bay filed a claim for Agent Orange exposure. After a 10-year fight, armed with news reports, documents and statements from fellow veterans who saw the chemical barrels, the VA granted their benefits. They proved Agent Orange was present at Subic Bay.So why was their claim approved and Art’s denied? The VA’s official response is that it makes these decisions on a “case-by-case basis.” In a statement, the agency maintains its stance that “Agent Orange was not used, transported, stored or tested in Subic Bay,” a position that directly contradicts the outcome of the Marines’ successful case. This inconsistency leaves veterans like Art in a bureaucratic limbo, forced to re-prove facts that have already been established.“You have some veterans getting it and others not, and there’s not a real rhyme or reason to it anymore,” said Dan Curry, an attorney who handles veteran disability claims. “It almost seems random.” Understanding the Scope of the IssueInvestigateTV+ dug into the VA’s own online database. Since the VA does not specifically track claims from non-presumptive locations, the team manually sifted through records, uncovering more than 500 claims from veterans who served in Subic Bay and now suffer from Agent Orange-related illnesses.   The data revealed a grim pattern: more than half of the claims were denied, most for the simple reason that the veteran had not set foot in Vietnam.When presented with this data, the VA deferred responsibility for adding Subic Bay to the presumptive list to the Department of Defense (DOD). The DOD, in turn, would not comment. This lack of accountability leaves aging veterans feeling abandoned by the very country they served. “There’s a lot of veterans that will say they’re just going to make me wait and fight,” Curry says. “Wait and fight until I’m dead. And then they don’t have to pay me.”The Battle Continues for Art and OthersDespite the denials, Art Gentry continues his fight. He has gathered new evidence, including a signed letter from another veteran who served in Subic Bay and personally witnessed Agent Orange being shipped through the base. He also has a note from his doctor explicitly linking his prostate cancer to the herbicide. However, time may not be on Art’s side.His cancer is being monitored, and if it worsens, he will need to begin radiation therapy.Art’s battle is a microcosm of a larger, ongoing tragedy. A Florida law firm that won the case for the two Marines now has nine or more clients with similar claims from Subic Bay. Those clients have been fighting for benefits for years, ranging from three years up to 34 years. While Congress has the power to designate new presumptive exposure areas, an inquiry to every member of the Congressional Committee for Veterans Affairs resulted in no on-camera interviews. The DOD requires a high burden of proof, including shipping logs, dated pictures, and scientific reports, that are nearly impossible for individual veterans to track down decades later. For now, Art can only hope, fighting a war against time and bureaucracy, long after his service has ended.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/lingering-war-vietnam-vets-battle-over-agent-orange/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Kristin Crowley, Jason Crow","publishDate":"2026-06-26T14:26:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMGHGDULQUNCYBONTTMA2HGMNC4.png%3Fauth%3D10ab24503bcd295e5f679da4041c5e2aef280ce75df74552d7516836cf96a079%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"the-lingering-war-vietnam-vets-battle-over-agent-orange"},{"id":"2ovlv2","title":"Simple solutions when cooking feels like a chore","excerpt":"(Aging Untold) — Cooking can become harder with age or after a major life change, especially when you’re cooking for one.

Nearly three in 10 Americans 65 and older live alone, and for women 75 and older, it’s closer to half, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The loss of motivation to cook can lead to isolation and poor nutrition. But there are realistic, creative solutions that can help you maintain healthy eating habits while enjoying the social connection that meals provide. Reframe your approach to meals If you’ve lost someone and lost motivation to cook, the first step is self-compassion, Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, said. “Don’t put guilt on yourself. Don’t feel bad about yourself. Don’t judge yourself,” O’Rourke said. Instead of viewing cooking as a solo obligation, consider the social aspect of eating. “We have grown up that eating is a very social activity,” Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said. “It’s not even just the cooking—it’s how many people really want to eat alone?\" Cradduck added. Creative solutions for solo diners Rather than forcing yourself back into the kitchen, consider alternatives: Dine with friends and community. “If you can go out and eat with friends, that’s a good solution,” O’Rourke said. This might mean getting invited to someone’s house for dinner, hosting a potluck where guests bring food or exploring independent living communities where residents eat together regularly. Cook and share with neighbors. “If you have neighbors and you say, let’s all cook something and share for the week, that’s a nice solution too,” O’Rourke suggested. This approach combines the benefits of home cooking with social connection. Explore prepared food options. If cooking isn’t appealing, don’t judge yourself for choosing alternatives. “There’s so many options out there,” O’Rourke said. “You can get food to then kind of prepare. You can get food already cooked, you can get it delivered. There’s a lot of options.” Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, mentioned organizations such as Meals on Wheels that provide nutritious food to those who need it. Key takeaways for eating well alone 1. Combat isolation, not just hunger. Ambrose expressed concern about two interconnected issues: “I’m very concerned about people being isolated and also lack of nutrition.” 2. Don’t judge yourself for changing your cooking habits. Life changes. If you used to cook for a large family and now you’re cooking for one, it’s natural to feel unmotivated. “Don’t judge yourself if you’re not cooking anymore,” O’Rourke advised. “Or have someone come over and cook with you to kind of get back in a rhythm.” 3. Leftovers and batch cooking. There’s nothing wrong with cooking once and eating multiple times. Leftovers can make solo cooking more practical and reduce food waste. 4. Explore all available resources. From grocery-store prepared foods to meal delivery services to community programs, there are many ways to eat well without cooking from scratch. “Get creative,” Ambrose encouraged. 5. Introverts can eat well too. Not everyone wants to dine out socially, and that’s OK. “Take advantage of all the food options that there are out there and healthier options in the grocery store that you can go ahead and eat healthy, but don’t judge yourself if you’re not cooking anymore,” O’Rourke said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/simple-solutions-when-cooking-feels-like-chore/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"LeAnne Gendreau, Katherine Ambrose  , Sondra 'Sam' Cradduck , Amy Amy Cameron O’","publishDate":"2026-06-26T14:18:20.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FUAKJL726RRAGLFFQ3JG3ZTA2BY.png%3Fauth%3D813e3d28b703a9de185fdb85185bd920343f89eee961e155d9c7882ded1e949e%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"simple-solutions-when-cooking-feels-like-a-chore"},{"id":"wl0sn0","title":"Nashville bar deemed ‘safe place’ for hate crime victims by police","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Frankie J’s has been serving customers inside a home in the Germantown neighborhood for the past three years. With picnic tables, a game room and meeting areas, the space serves as more than just a bar. “Our culture here and our environment is home,” said Jay Kill, owner of Frankie J’s.The establishment has been offering a “feel at home” vibe to its customers since it opened 3 years ago inside the home on 6th Avenue North that was built in 1910.“We don’t do live bands; we don’t do loud music. It’s a place where you can bring a friend, have a conversation, enjoy each other’s company,” Kill said.And it’s now a location where people can escape danger. The business is now part of the Metro Nashville Police Department’s “Safe Place” initiative.“A victim of a hate crime comes into the business, that business is responsible for keeping them in a safe public spot within that business, and then calling 911 on behalf,” said Officer Darci Stechman, the department’s LGBTQ+ liaison.Stechman oversees the program that’s been around for the last seven years.

What’s normal, and what can be done right now? Start with clarity — and bring another set of ears Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said one of the first practical steps is showing up to appointments with support. “The first thing I would — number one — want is, hopefully, that you brought somebody with you — another set of ears,” Rogers said. “Once this discussion takes place and you say you have dementia, it’s not the end of the story. It signals the beginning of a plan.” That plan starts with clarity about what type of dementia it is and what can be treated. “You want to establish clarity first. So clarity is, what type. Is this Alzheimer’s? Is this vascular? Is it Lewy body? Is it frontotemporal?” Rogers said. “They all have different ways of management.” (Learn more about the different types of dementia here.)Patients and families should make sure clinicians rule out reversible causes before assuming symptoms are only dementia-related. “Make sure that you’re looking out for reversible things first, like vitamin deficiencies or hypothyroid, anything that’s metabolic that can be reversed,” Rogers said. Build a care team — and get baseline testing Rogers said families should think beyond a single appointment and instead build a team that matches the person’s needs. “What is this team going to look like? It’s going to look like your primary care doctor, maybe your geriatrics doctor or neurologist, physical therapy, occupational therapy, even a nutritionist,” Rogers said. She added that a lot of things that lower inflammation come from nutrition. She added that establishing baseline testing early can help track changes over time. “Get cognitive baseline testing because I want to see where I am right now and where I’m going to go,” Rogers said. Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, also emphasized the value of education and advocacy for the family. “I also think a dementia care educator is so valuable for the family to help advise the family, prepare the family and be there as a resource and an advocate along the way,” Ambrose said. Look for community support — and plan for costs Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, encouraged families to look for support groups and other resources in their communities, and to keep gathering information as needs evolve. “The minute you start looking around in your community, you’ll find there are support groups for all types of dementia,” O’Rourke said. “Go and then start gathering information to see who else needs to be on your team.” She also raised the importance of financial planning. “Look at the money. This is a potentially very expensive diagnosis,” O’Rourke said. Don’t rush the timeline — focus on learning and support O’Rourke encouraged families to consider the potential trajectory of the diagnosis. She said it can be tempting to seek a clear timeline, but she urged families to focus on education about stages instead of trying to predict an exact endpoint. “Don’t try to set a date because that adds to pressure and stress,” she said. Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said the first thing that families should do is to breathe. “You have to realize that this is not a cliff that you’re going to fall off of,” she said, referring to progressive dementia. “They call Alzheimer’s the long goodbye for a reason, and it’s because there is a very long length of time, depending on how early we diagnosed. And so don’t get so hyped up in the fact that there’s been this diagnosis that everything has to change immediately,” Cradduck said. She advises families to talk, plan and build memories while they can. “Don’t stop living because a diagnosis came into your life,” Cradduck said. She also emphasized that dementia can look different from person to person. “You see one person with dementia, you’ve seen one person,” Cradduck said. O’Rourke added that families should not hesitate to get a second opinion. “Second opinions are very, very valuable,” she said. Key takeawaysBring a trusted person to medical appointments so you have “another set of ears” Make sure clinicians check for reversible causes, including metabolic issues and deficiencies After the diagnosis tips: Know the type of dementia. Some are reversible Build your dementia care team Get cognitive baseline testing to track cognitive health Contact a dementia care educator Seek out resources, including support groups and books Evaluate your finances Keep building memories Check off your “bucket list” Consider getting a second opinion More informationWhat to know about dementia: It’s not just memory lossUnderstanding sundowning: Why evenings can be difficult for people with memory lossWhen dementia causes a loved one to forget your nameCannabis edibles in dementia care: What families should knowThis program is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute providing medical advice or professional services.

The American College of Rheumatology says about half a million hip replacements are done in the U.S. each year, and the procedure is considered one of the most reliably effective surgeries for pain relief and improved mobility. With new technology, including artificial intelligence tools, new techniques and better pain control, some patients are even going home the same day. What’s happening inside the joint Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said it helps to think of the hip as a joint designed to move smoothly until wear and tear changes that. “With wear and tear over time, the cushion wears down,” Rogers said. “And so what was meant to move smoothly, now you’re getting pain. It’s stiffness and you have loss of mobility.” The decline tends to be continual or gradual, she said. Rogers said the key is paying attention to symptoms — and how much they affect daily life. “How are they impacting your life,” Rogers said. When conservative options don’t help Rogers said many people start with conservative measures when problems first show up. “When you first start having issues, you look at conservative measures,” Rogers said. Those can include physical therapy, weight management and some anti-inflammatories. But she said there’s a point when it becomes more than an inconvenience, especially when pain interferes with basics like sleep. “When it becomes so debilitating — like if your pain is limiting you, your daily activities — especially sleep. When you can’t sleep because of pain, that’s a problem,” Rogers said. She said another sign is when treatments that used to help, such as injections and medications, no longer do. “When they stop working, you have to look at what’s next,” Rogers said. Independence, health status and setting realistic expectations Rogers said loss of independence should be taken seriously. “If you can’t get up out of bed or if you can’t clothe yourself, then that’s a problem,” Rogers said. She also encouraged people to consider overall health and personal goals before making a decision. “You want to recognize it because you want to look at what your health is,” Rogers said. “Am I healthy enough to undergo surgery, and what are my goals? What are my desires? What do I expect out of this?” Don’t compare your recovery to someone else’s Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, said she often sees people compare themselves to friends who had a different experience. “What I see people do is they compare themselves to their friends,” O’Rourke said. “I think the danger of comparing yourself is a very real thing.” Instead, the question isn’t just whether you want surgery — it’s what you want your life to look like, Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said. “It’s not waking up one day and saying, ‘Do I want to have surgery?’” Cradduck said. “It’s, ‘Do I want my life back? Do I want to restore my life and my function?’” Asking questions, weighing fear and planning for rehab Cradduck said fear about surgery is common, but hip replacements have become a successful procedure for many older adults — and she cautioned against “living with pain” to the point where it dictates every decision. “What you start to see them do is they start to plan their day around their pain,” Rogers said. Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, shared a personal family example about being worried that a hip surgery could affect a family member’s cognition, and said she ultimately learned the value of asking questions and talking through concerns. “You just have to do a lot of asking questions,” Ambrose said. Then, after surgery, rehab matters, Rogers added. O’Rourke said pride can get in the way of a good recovery — including refusing pain medication or cutting therapy short. “Maximize your therapy, see what Medicare covers, see what your supplemental insurance is going to cover,” O’Rourke said. “Get as much therapy as you can to help you heal faster.” Rogers added that people often worry about becoming addicted to pain medication, but pain control can be a tool that helps recovery progress. “You take your pain medication so that you can do the recovery that you need,” Rogers said. “And your body, as it gets better, you will need it less.” Five key takeaways Common signs something is wrong include pain, stiffness and loss of mobility that build gradually over time Conservative steps may come first, including physical therapy, weight management and anti-inflammatories, but worsening symptoms may signal it’s time to reassess Pain that limits daily activities — especially sleep — and treatments that stop working are red flags to discuss with a doctor Loss of independence, such as difficulty getting out of bed or getting dressed, is an important factor in decision-making Recovery requires rehab and therapy This program is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute providing medical advice or professional services.

(KKTV/Gray News) - Charges have been filed against a pair of Colorado mortuary owners accused of mishandling the remains of at least two dozen deceased people.The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the 10th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced the charges against Brian Lee Cotter and Christopher Aaron Cotter, owners of Davis Mortuary, on Thursday afternoon.The announcement followed their arrests that morning.Brian Cotter is the former Pueblo County Coroner. He and his brother Christopher purchased the mortuary in 1989.Last August, inspectors from the Office of Funeral and Mortuary Science Services found 24 decomposing bodies hidden in the mortuary. The district attorney’s office said, at this time, 19 bodies have been identified. Previously, law enforcement was attempting to have all bodies identified before filing charges. Officials said they used “all available technology” to identify the bodies. Alongside the full remains, law enforcement said they were working to identify “many, many cremains,” as well as bones.The two men are each being held on $1 million bonds and face 125 counts of abuse of a corpse, nine counts of forgery and more than 25 theft charges.The theft charges stem from allegations that Davis Mortuary failed to properly deposit required funds into trust accounts.According to law enforcement, it is fair to conclude that there are 125 total victims. CBI Director Armando Saldate III described the Cotters as showing “complete disregard for the dignity of the deceased,” calling the state of the remains under their care a “profound betrayal” of trust.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/brothers-are-accused-mishandling-remains-colorado-funeral-home/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Bryce Patterson, Aspen Andrews, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-26T10:06:18.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSVTM7VRBMNELZKZR2WNX26YMAI.png%3Fauth%3D9918dec6de746fdcc13f06a3bfe02ef22744189f9015f7320f4b0112b65e0dd0%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"brothers-are-accused-of-mishandling-remains-at-colorado-funeral-home"},{"id":"svllep","title":"Turkey beats US 3-2 with last-gasp goal as Americans look ahead to World Cup knockout stage","excerpt":"INGLEWOOD, Calif.

(AP) — The United States only wanted to get through its final World Cup group stage match Thursday night without an injury or a red card, while Turkey was playing for a face-saving victory to end a dismal tournament.Both teams got what they wanted most out of their meaningless meeting before the Americans head on to the knockout stage — and coach Mauricio Pochettino was annoyed by any suggestion that the Americans’ last-gasp, 3-2 defeat said anything negative about the state of his team.Kaan Ayhan scored on the final kick of the match to send Turkey past the U.S. in the eighth minute of stoppage time for its only win of the World Cup.The result was meaningless to the Americans, who will meet Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32 on Wednesday. Pochettino sent out nine new starters, including eight who were starting a World Cup match for the first time.The U.S. tied it early in the second half on a goal by Sebastian Berhalter, and the Americans got within a few seconds of an unbeaten run through the group stage. But in his postgame news conference, Pochettino expressed his annoyance with what he perceived as disappointment in the result.“For you not say congratulations that we won the group, that is a little bit sad,” Pochettino told reporters.“What we need to remember is we won first place in this group,” Pochettino added while speaking in Spanish and English. “We ended up being No. 1, and we managed all the pressure and the expectations quite well. We had other priorities. We wanted to win. We did want the victory, but there are other things we needed to balance out, and that’s how I made the decisions. ... Making history is winning the World Cup, not just winning the group. It’s a little bit petty, if you will. You’re thinking just a little bit too small.”Auston Trusty scored in the third minute for the Americans, who beat Paraguay and Australia by a combined 6-1 to book their place in the knockouts.Pochettino fielded nearly an entirely new lineup for this low-stakes game, notably resting all four key players who picked up yellow cards earlier in the tournament.Christian Pulisic entered in the 58th minute, however. The AC Milan midfielder hadn’t played since the first half of the Americans’ opener due to a calf injury, and he was involved in a couple of early scoring chances before getting beaten on the wing on Turkey’s winning goal.“We could have done better on some defensive plays, but it happens,” said Brenden Aaronson, one of nine new starters chosen by Pochettino for the group finale.“You make (nine) changes, and the team might not be used to as the guys that have been playing,” Aaronson added. ”It showed the hustle, the aggressiveness of the team. I think it’s a positive, because Turkey is a top team. They might have not performed their best throughout this tournament, but their quality is on the pitch and you can see it.”Berhalter said he doesn’t believe the Americans lost any momentum from this close defeat.“You saw the second half, how we came out,” said Berhalter, who tied it in the 49th minute by running on to a loose ball about 20 yards out for a vicious strike. “I think we deserved more out of that game. We slipped in the last second of the game. ... We gave everything we had, and we’ll be ready for the knockouts. The guys did well. We fought. Unfortunate not to get a result, but we’ll be ready for sure.”Arda Güler and Orkun Kökçü scored in the first half of a resilient performance by Turkey, which had already been eliminated after losing its first two matches despite largely dominating both statistically.Turkey improbably won in the eighth minute of stoppage time when Can Uzun got the ball in space on the back post and pushed it past sprawling goalkeeper Matt Turner to Ayhan, who slid to knock it home.“I’m super-happy with how my players played tonight,” Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella said through an interpreter. “They showcased all of their skills, all of their abilities, all of their character. Playing the way they played tonight in an away match, against a very loud crowd, if they weren’t as strong as they are, they wouldn’t have made it tonight.“I’m really happy for the Turkish people. I can say that we can go back home with our chin up.”Indeed, the game’s meaninglessness didn’t matter to the raucous sellout crowd that packed SoFi Stadium. The American team’s fan base has been energized by its strong start to this home World Cup -- and this Los Angeles-area crowd was still chanting and standing when Berhalter airmailed a long corner to Trusty, who made the stadium shake when he banged it home inside the back post.Trusty’s goal was the Americans’ seventh of the tournament, tying their scoring record for any World Cup before knockout play even begins. It was also the 173rd goal of this tournament, breaking the record for the most combined goals scored in a World Cup set in Qatar four years ago — and doing it in four fewer matches.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/FIFA-World-Cup","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/turkey-beats-us-3-2-with-last-gasp-goal-americans-look-ahead-world-cup-knockout-stage/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"GREG BEACHAM","publishDate":"2026-06-26T08:24:44.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F46E4BY6W35FSXGBUBE5O7HTM7U.jpg%3Fauth%3D704686c866e704d7421cb2bca684f187aa90abdf2ee58560c15f32bfb9b980b4%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"turkey-beats-us-3-2-with-last-gasp-goal-as-americans-look-ahead-to-world-cup-knockout-stage"},{"id":"86i91l","title":"Metro Planning Commission backs Nashville’s first data center zoning rules, recommends backup moratorium","excerpt":"Commissioners recommended approval of a revised zoning ordinance that would establish Nashville’s first data center-specific development standards.","content":"Commissioners recommended approval of a revised zoning ordinance that would establish Nashville’s first data center-specific development standards.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/metro-planning-commission-backs-data-center-zoning-rules/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Kelly Milan","publishDate":"2026-06-26T04:02:26.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2F10P-KELLY-DATA-CENTER-PLANNING-COMMISSION_PKG_00.00.00.00.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"metro-planning-commission-backs-nashvilles-first-data-center-zoning-rules-recommends-backup-moratori"},{"id":"jvk7hw","title":"Grammy-nominated producer Tay Keith remembered at Raleigh vigil","excerpt":"MEMPHIS, Tenn.

(WMC) - Friends and family gathered Thursday night in Raleigh to remember Grammy-nominated music producer Tay Keith, who was found dead in his Nashville apartment on June 18 at age 29.Brytavious LaKeith Chambers, known professionally as Tay Keith, grew up in Raleigh and created a new sound with childhood friend BlocBoy JB while still a teenager. Thursday’s vigil was held near his childhood home.“We thank each and every one of you for being out here,” his uncle Deon Conway said while addressing the crowd.A prolific careerTay Keith produced 11 Billboard Hot 100 top ten hits, including his 2018 breakout hits “Look Alive” by BlocBoy JB and “Nonstop” by Drake. That same year, the White Station High School alum earned two degrees from Middle Tennessee State University.He worked with big names like Beyoncé, Eminem, Future, and Travis Scott throughout his career.He received his first Grammy nomination in 2019 for his work on Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode.”Family remembers his character“He was a phenomenal human being. He was kind. He was intelligent. I would say even brilliant,” said his uncle. “He was the first one in our family to actually go to college and graduate with a degree.”His aunt spoke about the emotional weight of his death while expressing gratitude for the community’s support. “We are all like, ‘Are we really doing this for the death of our nephew?’ And it’s just, like, it’s heartbreaking, but at the same time, we appreciate everybody for coming out and celebrating with us,” she said.Vigil organizer Jasper Netter said Tay Keith’s influence extended beyond his own work. “He helped a lot of young entrepreneurs and artists reach their destiny. He took chances on them other people wouldn’t take,” Netter said.Legacy lives onDespite his success, family members said Tay Keith remained humble and helpful to those around him. Thursday’s vigil ended with attendees releasing balloons into the air while shouting “Long live Tay Keith.”Funeral arrangements are still pending.Click here to sign up for our newsletter!Click here to report a spelling or grammar error.

(WSMV) - A bill working its way through Metro Council would require all newly-built streets in Nashville to bury utilities like power lines.It comes after more than 230,000 customers lost power during the winter storm earlier this year and as Nashville Electric Service is poised to start work on a pilot program to bury power lines in four neighborhoods around Nashville.The bill’s sponsor, Council Member Joy Styles, says it’s another way to strengthen the city’s power grid after multiple serious power outages caused by weather.“So for us, even before Fern came through, I’ve been working with NES for the last three years because of what happened to us during the zero degree storm back in 2022,” Styles said. “So with all the development that we have, it only makes sense. We are putting so much pressure on the grid. We have to come up with solutions.”The bill would require utilities to be buried on any new streets built in Nashville moving forward.Although Styles says she has heard some feedback about how expensive it could be, she believes it’s worth it.“People saying it’s cost prohibitive because we have to blast through all of the stone, but here’s the reality: They make it happen downtown,” she said. “You hate when you have to make someone do something when you know it’s the right thing to do, but we really don’t have a choice the fallout from this storm has been so significant.”In April, NES announced plans to launch a $9 million pilot program for burying power lines in four different neighborhoods.READ MORE: ‘I’m stoked’: Charlotte Park residents react to NES plans to bury power linesStyles says she’s happy to see progress, but doesn’t know if burying utilities across the whole city is feasible.“Trying to bury all of the existing lines, that’s a lot,” she said. “As a city, I know that we’re not going to be willing to do that.”The bill passed through the Planning Commission Thursday night and now heads back to Metro Council for two final votes.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/metro-council-considers-requiring-new-developments-bury-power-lines/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Braden Ross","publishDate":"2026-06-26T02:45:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FWDLNU6XY5JFWBINQC52P2AS3FI.png%3Fauth%3D18b970680738b9a1eca8c8cf1839e7662c50d6940c5bc061c54ea2e5e5045cd2%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"metro-council-considers-requiring-new-developments-to-bury-power-lines"},{"id":"2iv85o","title":"Critic's Pick: 'An Indigenous Present'","excerpt":"Opening reception 6:30 p.m. June 25; through Sept. 27 at the Frist","content":"Opening reception 6:30 p.m. June 25; through Sept. 27 at the Frist","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/criticspicks/critics-pick-an-indigenous-present/article_e69cbe01-7d02-4d83-915d-07c75365f4b4.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"lhutsonhunter@nashvillescene.com (Laura Hutson Hunter)","publishDate":"2026-06-24T10:06:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2Ff%2F77%2Ff778dd7e-d9ed-49dd-8d0f-107daf044e29%2F6a3ad63d9af71.image.png%3Fresize%3D300%252C178","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"critics-pick-an-indigenous-present"},{"id":"l5fuc4","title":"Woman hospitalized after dog attack in Dickson County","excerpt":"DICKSON CO., Tenn.

(KPTV/Gray News) – A 17-year-old volunteer firefighter is recovering after he was involved in a head-on crash.Riggin Bliss was on his way home from another job when everything changed in an instant.“We got a page on the radio, just like any other crash,” said Nick Huesties, Chief of Cowlitz-Skamania Fire District 7.According to Washington State Patrol (WSP), Bliss was driving southbound on Lewis River Road in Ariel when another driver traveling northbound crossed into his lane and hit him head-on.“This is a very small community so we consider each other family,” Huesties said. “Some of us are literally family.”That includes Bliss’ older brother, Charlie Silvis, another volunteer firefighter at Fire District 7.“I’m driving by and I notice it’s my little brother,” Silvis said.Silvis said once he got to the crash, he immediately went over to his brother, who was conscious and talking.“I was trying to keep my composure as much as I could to do my job. I’m there for a reason, I have a duty to act,” Silvis said. “It was super tough. I had tears in my eyes the whole time but I’m glad to know he’s okay now.”Bliss started volunteering at the fire station as soon as he turned 16, Huesties said.One week later, Silvis said he decided to join, too. Silvis said despite his age, Bliss is a leader at the fire station and other volunteers admire his bravery.Huesties said Bliss “fell in love with firefighting,” and was on track to start EMT school when he turned 18.Bliss had a broken femur, hip and tibia, as well as bruising on his neck and chest. Silvis said before Bliss was taken to the hospital, he was already looking forward to getting back to work.“And the next thing he said was, ‘This doesn’t stop me from firefighting, does it?’” Silvis said.According to Silvis, it took about 20 minutes and multiple attempts to maneuver Bliss out of his truck. Silvis said he went back and forth between treating his brother and the other driver, who was also severely injured.According to WSP, 76-year-old John Jessup of La Center, was LifeFlighted to a local hospital and charged with vehicular assault. WSP said Jessup is believed to have been impaired.Huesties said Lewis River Road is full of blind corners and other potentially dangerous hazards. Now, as one of his volunteers recovers in the hospital, he’s urging others to drive sober.“Being impaired out here is a crazy life choice,” Huesties said. “I would definitely say that I would avoid that, not do it as much as humanly possible, unless you want to see me and a hospital.”One of Riggin’s coworkers started an online fundraiser to help pay for his medical bills.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/17-year-old-volunteer-firefighter-icu-after-head-on-crash/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Makenna Marks, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-26T01:26:24.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FLNVGKKTYWJHX3O5RZDT73YBL6M.png%3Fauth%3D9150fd51cddcb356df8352b6b2116aa34591fadd5a8bbd15295c876c07953871%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"17-year-old-volunteer-firefighter-in-icu-after-head-on-crash"},{"id":"30lhsc","title":"Nashville’s power grid is about to get a boost.

(WSMV) - A Chattanooga power company is taking steps to help Nashville’s electric system during high-stress periods.Nashville Electric Service is partnering with Seven States Power to add large, standalone grid batteries that store energy to provide backup when the power grid is stressed.Seven States said the project is being backed by a landmark $439 million zero-interest loan and grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Utilities Service.The project will consist of 100 megawatts of battery storage capacity interconnected with NES’s electric distribution system, Seven States said. The batteries will help stabilize the grid while also reducing exposure to high-cost power purchases.“Our partnership with the team of experts at Seven States will allow us to deliver a battery solution that will modernize our grid, improve operations, and provide reliability for our customers,” said Teresa Broyles-Aplin, president and CEO of NES. “It gives us greater control during peak demand periods and supports our ongoing effort toward reliable energy distribution.”Seven States said the battery installations will be constructed at multiple NES substations. Construction is expected to start in 2027 and is projected to be finished in December 2028.“Once operational, the initiative is expected to support the electric needs of approximately 12,000 homes and businesses across the Greater Nashville area and create jobs during construction,” Seven States said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/nashvilles-power-grid-is-about-get-boost-heres-how/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Kassidy Brown","publishDate":"2026-06-26T00:50:41.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FHI4G2NIPCFBVLNJAOCSBEE3W3I.png%3Fauth%3Df6cb7e11d3f901584b42a2451fcf9e0ae0b760da6cce4a54df0f8a39b0b1649d%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashvilles-power-grid-is-about-to-get-a-boost-heres-how"},{"id":"624cke","title":"Taylor Swift, Lainey Wilson perform surprise duet at Tight Ends and Friends concert","excerpt":"Taylor Swift and Lainey Wilson performed a surprise duet at the Tight Ends and Friends concert in Nashville Tuesday night.","content":"Taylor Swift and Lainey Wilson performed a surprise duet at the Tight Ends and Friends concert in Nashville Tuesday night.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/taylor-swift-lainey-wilson-perform-love-story-surprise-duet-at-tight-ends-and-friends-university-concert-travis-kelce-greg-olsen-george-kittle-nfl-nashville-tennessee-the-pinnacle","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-24T14:23:58.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2240%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2Fe8faeceb-3bf6-42a0-bd51-f09520e7b122-Untitleddesign16.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"taylor-swift-lainey-wilson-perform-surprise-duet-at-tight-ends-and-friends-concert"},{"id":"ho9pcm","title":"Critic's Pick — Steve Wariner: 'The Flip Side'","excerpt":"Through July 26 at Monthaven Arts","content":"Through July 26 at Monthaven Arts","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/criticspicks/critics-pick-steve-wariner-the-flip-side/article_d015ff30-14f4-4074-b15f-4b9fd32ecd2b.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"lhutsonhunter@nashvillescene.com (Laura Hutson Hunter)","publishDate":"2026-06-24T10:04:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2F3%2Fab%2F3abb50a8-c926-4f66-8b8a-41558077e66e%2F6a3ad47d3dc9f.image.jpg%3Fcrop%3D1133%252C638%252C45%252C36%26resize%3D300%252C169%26order%3Dcrop%252Cresize","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"critics-pick-steve-wariner-the-flip-side"},{"id":"8ql7s4","title":"Greenbrier man indicted on 64 counts of child sex charges","excerpt":"According to the Greenbrier Police Department, James Mackenzie Gay was arrested on Thursday morning and is currently being held in the Robertson County Jail.","content":"According to the Greenbrier Police Department, James Mackenzie Gay was arrested on Thursday morning and is currently being held in the Robertson County Jail.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/greenbrier-man-indicted-64-counts-child-sex-charges/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Pat O'Donnell","publishDate":"2026-06-26T02:14:39.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2025%2F02%2Fsnapshot-2025-02-25T100725.397.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"greenbrier-man-indicted-on-64-counts-of-child-sex-charges"},{"id":"alyzu0","title":"Tennessee Senior Olympics competitors say connection matters as much as medals","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

He said he has been lifting weights since high school and served in the U.S. Navy.Howell said he tore three ligaments in his bicep last year but still bench presses 185 pounds. He said he wants to set an example for his grandkids and neighbors to stay in shape and keep doing what they love.Howell said that five years ago, at age 75, he was able to bench 285lbs. Even though he is coming off an injury, his current goal is to set the state bench record for his age group this December in Knoxville.Joe Giordano, 72, of Sevierville, said he has a “big challenge” in life: Stage four prostate and bone cancer. Giordano said he works out but had never competed like this before.Giordano said he took third place in the high jump during the track and field segment.This is his sixth year with cancer and still takes chemotherapy pills every day. Giordano said he also gets regular shots and has had radiation and chemotherapy infusions.Giordano said he has to be careful with his bones because of the bone cancer. He said his doctors told him he will never be cancer-free, but his blood levels for the cancer have gone down.“I’m very blessed to be able to do this and then meet all these people,” Giordano said.Chris Edlin, 64, of McKinsey, said winning has become less important as he has gotten older, even though athletes are competitive, and that he values the connections he has made with people through the event.Edlin said he first competed in the Senior Olympics when he was 50, starting in track and field. He said this year marks his 11th senior games.Edlin said he made the National Senior Games for power walk and took second place.Edlin also described the Tennessee Senior Olympics as a competition where participants root for each other.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/tennessee-senior-olympics-competitors-say-connection-matters-much-medals/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Jared Guest","publishDate":"2026-06-26T00:41:27.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FUTPA3I7BUJA5LIXTASN4Q2CS74.jpg%3Fauth%3D1ac83f90a86002da07d4d45295bcf39e2aa88c1e74a5b12d12cf3c8bc6d55cbb%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tennessee-senior-olympics-competitors-say-connection-matters-as-much-as-medals"},{"id":"f3ddcw","title":"Vanderbilt LifeFlight nurse killed in 2025 helicopter crash honored in national procession","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(KAIT/Gray News) - The owner of a towing company in Arkansas is facing multiple felony charges tied to what investigators are describing as a large-scale fraud scheme.Greene County District Court Judge Curtis Hitt found probable cause Wednesday to charge Heather Patterson, 45. She is accused of repossessing dozens of vehicles illegally and forging title paperwork.Authorities said her charges include 30 counts of second-degree forgery, 27 counts of false evidence of title or registration, theft of property and 89 counts of falsifying a business record.Paragould police said in May that an alleged victim told them that Patterson, who owns Prestige Towing, came to their home to repossess her vehicle.Believing the repossession was legitimate, Paragould police Cpl. Johnathon Porter said the woman willingly gave Patterson the keys.However, officers said the woman told them she later saw her vehicle in the company’s tow yard while seeing it posted on Facebook in someone else’s possession.Porter said officers spoke with the car owner’s lien company, which confirmed a repossession order had not been issued for the vehicle.Detectives then contacted the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, which provided paperwork Patterson submitted regarding the woman’s vehicle.“The paperwork received by the DFA included a tow slip from Prestige Towing, signed by the defendant, that stated the vehicle was abandoned and was a water recovery,” Porter said.Porter noted that the woman’s vehicle identification number on the paperwork was also incorrect, which allowed the car to be registered to another person under a false VIN.Investigators said they then obtained a search warrant for Patterson’s home, where they seized a large quantity of Prestige Towing paperwork.“In the paperwork, there were 89 separate incidents where the defendant filled out a tow slip and a notice that the individual’s vehicles were towed at the request of Greene County Dispatch,” Porter said. “Prestige Towing has not been on rotation for all of Greene County since Jan. 30, 2023, and no records exist within dispatch’s reporting software.”According to an affidavit, the DFA reviewed paperwork filed by Patterson and found she forged documents and submitted false evidence related to 27 motor vehicle titles and registrations.The paperwork in question again listed Greene County Central Dispatch as the requesting party, but court documents said the tow logs did not support that claim.During a reported interview with police, authorities said Patterson told them the incorrect VIN submitted to the state “must have been a mistake.”Porter noted the VIN was correct when listed in the required newspaper legal notices.In a separate claim, Patterson is accused of charging $100 to provide a temporary license plate while signing a bill of sale for a motorcycle that was later confirmed to be stolen.Patterson was booked into the Greene County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond while awaiting her next court appearance.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/towing-company-owner-accused-repossessing-dozens-vehicles-illegally-investigators-reveal-alleged-scheme/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"KAIT News staff, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-26T00:07:02.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F2F5LTFDYKVHQ5LTD4LAQJ5FDEQ.png%3Fauth%3Ded4d3a222c0e243e77e69150d16edca02f9e19acfd9153393f0a9e6e78dacc93%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"towing-company-owner-accused-of-repossessing-dozens-of-vehicles-illegally-investigators-reveal-alleg"},{"id":"u30wuk","title":"233-acre Franklin farm could become major youth sports complex","excerpt":"FRANKLIN, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A developer is proposing to transform Brownland Farm, a 233-acre property on Hillsboro Road just outside downtown Franklin, into “The Banks at Brownland,” a mixed-use sports complex centered around an ice rink operated by the Nashville Predators.The development would include a 100,000-square-foot ice facility with two sheets of ice, 11 multipurpose fields for football, soccer and lacrosse, a golf practice facility with a technology-driven driving range and putting green, and neighborhood retail including restaurants, a grocery store, fitness centers and medical offices.The property has served as a venue for local, regional and national equestrian events for more than 60 years. Current owners, the Anderton family, are seeking to downsize and relocate their equestrian activities, according to the development group. Predators seek regional ice facilitySean Henry, CEO of the Nashville Predators, said the organization has been searching for a suitable site for more than a decade to expand youth ice hockey access in the area.The ice rink would be the first public facility of its kind in Williamson County and would operate similarly to the Predators’ other Ford Ice Centers in Nashville and Bellevue. “A lot of work still needs to be done, but I’m really excited that they’re pushing this forward to bringing in front of the aldermen and the commissioners to get their buy-in support,” Henry said. “There’ll be some questions, some challenges, but the fact that we’re where we are now, it’s going to be incredible. It’s going to be fun for families, going to be fun for kids, going to be fun for anyone in that community.”Franklin families currently make approximately 60,000 trips per year to Nashville-area ice rinks, according to the Predators. Henry said the project is fundamentally about expanding youth participation in hockey.“This is about giving more kids more opportunity to participate in a sport that, let’s face it, is the best one there is,” Henry said. “You throw in the pickleball component of it, the youth soccer component of it, and then just the interactivity of other restaurants and themes, it’s going to be a pretty special place.”Regional sports partnershipsThe development includes partnerships with the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Soccer Club to provide youth programming on the athletic fields. The Titans will offer flag football programming, while Nashville Soccer Club will manage soccer activities.A golf practice facility is planned as part of the development, featuring a technology-driven driving range, short course and putting green.Public meeting scheduled for MondayThe Williamson County Commission and Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen are scheduled to hold a joint meeting on Monday, June 29, to discuss the proposal. It starts at 5:30 p.m. at the Williamson County Enrichment Center. The two bodies are considering co-owning the ice facility, similar to their arrangement for the Cool Springs Conference Center.The developer plans to break ground in 2027, if the proposal is approved.As part of the project, the developer has agreed to donate six acres to GraceWorks Ministries to create a permanent facility for the nonprofit. Residents raise flooding, traffic concernsSome neighbors of Brownland Farm have expressed concerns about the development’s impact on the area.Liz Riche, who has lived near the property for nearly 40 years, said she has no objection to the current horse farm operation but worries about multiple effects of the proposed athletic facility.“We’ve always enjoyed our field out back. It’s nice and peaceful. I’m just not looking forward to the noise,” Riche said about this project. “It’s going to bring a lot more traffic. Right now, Mack Hatcher (Memorial Parkway) is just two lanes going across that. The impact there is going to really back up traffic.”Riche also expressed concern about losing the natural surroundings that help protect their neighborhood from flooding. Their homes were surrounded by water in 2010 when the Harpeth River flooded. “Overgrown trees back there is a buffer to stop the flooding,” Riche said. “If they put fields down there, of course, fields get flooded, that’s fine. But what’s the impact up on the neighbors that went through the flood.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/233-acre-franklin-farm-could-become-major-youth-sports-complex/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Brendan Tierney","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:55:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F4SKFXWKOMFEVDPOUUT4GIQRWQA.png%3Fauth%3D8523cd686a753ca7dfacf188290b749821836184f5c0dd890edef699909da1dc%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"233-acre-franklin-farm-could-become-major-youth-sports-complex"},{"id":"1h9dtf","title":"'I'm a Jew:' Antisemitic mailer sparks blowup inside local Republican Party in Tennessee -

(WSMV) - Police say they’ve narrowed their search for the origin of a stray bullet that fatally struck a man on July 4, 2025. Winchester Police said on Thursday that they’ve found an additional bullet from the Twin Creeks Marina, which is located within Twin Creeks Village where the incident occurred. The man, John Cobb, was hit by the bullet in the back of his head while at Twin Creeks Marina Drive and River Watch Way. He was left unresponsive and put on life support following the gunshot wound. He died days later and his organs were donated. A man died last year after being hit in the back of the head with a stray bullet.Finding that additional bullet, police said, provides “a possible direction where the shots were fired from.” The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation determined both rounds were fired from the same firearm, which they believe to be a 7.62x39 or 7.62x54R caliber.Based on what they have found so far, they believe the bullets could have originated from the subdivisions of the Myers Road area, Country Estates Drive, Cherokee Estates and part of Franklin Hills. Anyone who may have information about the rounds that were fired last Independence Day around 9:10 p.m. is asked to contact Detective Ryan Fuller with the Winchester Police Department.

(KPTV/Gray News) - A woman who went missing after leaving an acquaintance’s home in Washington state has been found dead. According to Cowlitz County deputies, the family of Loretta “Lori” Evelyn Moore, 55, reported her missing last Saturday after she did not return home the night prior.Authorities said family members told them that they were also holding a family event for Father’s Day, but she ended up not attending as planned. The 55-year-old was said to have a medical condition that affected her heart.Deputies spoke with the acquaintance whom Moore had visited and obtained video footage of her leaving that house on June 19 in her black 2018 Honda Accord.On Wednesday night, the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office said a deputy was flagged down by a community member in the Castle Rock area. A black car had been found upside down and submerged in the Arkansas Creek with a body inside, according to the sheriff’s office.Investigators said the car matched the description of the one driven by Moore, with the deceased person identified as the missing 55-year-old. No one else was found inside the car.Authorities said Moore’s vehicle had left the road and continued through a field before rolling over into the creek.The sheriff’s office had asked for the community to help in finding Moore, “due to the suspicious nature of [her] disappearance.” They said her cellphone had last pinged a location around 9:30 p.m. the night she was last seen alive. Cowlitz County authorities did not immediately release a cause of death.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/woman-found-dead-inside-her-vehicle-days-after-family-reported-her-missing/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"KPTV News staff, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:34:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FGTC4Q2EVTBG6XO3VUYLACEZVDU.png%3Fauth%3D3d6ad383308df675d3d8915b110cd85ef103bbeb727848b02c0d90a5066e8211%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"woman-found-dead-inside-her-vehicle-days-after-family-reported-her-missing"},{"id":"txey09","title":"Ohio Supreme Court declines to review Mackenzie Shirilla’s case","excerpt":"CLEVELAND (WOIO/Gray News) - The Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday declined a request to review Mackenzie Shirilla’s post-conviction appeals, ruling the petition was filed late and the trial court lacked jurisdiction to excuse the delay.Shirilla was convicted in 2023 of murder in the deaths of her bo...","content":"CLEVELAND (WOIO/Gray News) - The Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday declined a request to review Mackenzie Shirilla’s post-conviction appeals, ruling the petition was filed late and the trial court lacked jurisdiction to excuse the delay.Shirilla was convicted in 2023 of murder in the deaths of her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan.A judge sentenced her to life in prison, with parole eligibility after 15 years served, after prosecutors said the evidence showed the crash was intentional, pointing to surveillance video, vehicle “black box” data, and evidence that the car was traveling nearly 100 mph without braking.Shirilla’s lawyers, in court documents, said they requested the review due to a calendar mistake.Court records showed her attorneys missed the deadline to file a post-conviction challenge by one day, because they failed to account for 2024 being a leap year, her legal team argued.However, on Tuesday, the Ohio Supreme Court affirmed: “that the trial court correctly determined it was without jurisdiction to consider the petition.”Under Ohio law, convicted defendants generally have 365 days after their trial transcripts are filed to challenge their conviction. Prosecutors say Shirilla’s deadline started Oct. 23, 2023, and that her attorneys filed late on Oct. 24, 2024.Shirilla’s new attorneys filed another appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court on April 27, arguing the clock should have started later because a separate transcript was filed weeks after the main trial record. They also argued Shirilla would have been acquitted if she had received effective assistance of counsel.In its decision, the Ohio Supreme Court pointed to jurisdiction and said arguments by Shirilla’s lawyers did not meet the exceptions.The court said that due to this, the trial court lacked the authority to excuse the delay. Justice R. Patrick DeWine dissented.Shirilla’s first parole hearing is scheduled for 2037.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/ohio-supreme-court-declines-review-mackenzie-shirillas-case/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Avery  Williams, Vasi Prokos, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:19:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FZHRD2GRDLRHQLBKBSGEKOKVHIA.png%3Fauth%3D915e746fbea242731d742b9e7ad6cc321a2e0d235d9ade9d5c88b0385d1fa196%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"ohio-supreme-court-declines-to-review-mackenzie-shirillas-case"},{"id":"ppdkdx","title":"‘It’s just sick.’ Families say bronze grave vases stolen from Tennessee cemetery","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Forty-one flower cups were stolen from graves at Joelton Hills Memory Gardens between June 16 and 17, leaving families frustrated and heartbroken.Mary Gregory discovered the theft on Father’s Day, June 21, when her grandson visited her son’s grave. Her son was killed in a motorcycle crash in 2020 and was buried with a marker and a bronze cup to hold flowers.“People here that has family are hurting enough, and then something like this happens,” Patsy, Gregory’s friend, said.Gregory said her grandson noticed the missing bronze vase while driving past the grave, since many visitors cannot walk well enough to get out of their vehicles.“If you’re not able to get out, which a lot of people can’t walk good, but driving past, you see the flowers, and you don’t realize that the vase has been stolen,” Gregory said. “The cemetery manager said that this is the first incident. No, it’s not. There goes a couple right there that said that theirs had been stolen in the past.”Gregory’s friend Patsy said she found the same thing — bronze flower cups missing from her family’s graves. Patsy has four family plots at the cemetery, and all of them had missing vases.“This is the last thing we can do for our family members. The very last thing,” Patsy said.Patsy discovered the theft on Father’s Day when she and her family brought flowers to her husband’s grave. She said the flowers were left in the holes where the vases had been.“It’s just overwhelming and it’s just sick… Whoever done this. A bunch of thugs. You know, it’s just somebody inhuman. It’s just really, really awful,” Patsy said.Patsy expressed concern about the impact on the graves themselves.“Who could rest in peace with something like that going on?” Patsy said.Prior thefts at the cemeteryMartha Krantz’s family plots were not affected by this theft, but she said it brought back painful memories from a similar incident a couple of years ago, around 2024 or 2025.“Even to the point that I became angry, if God forgive me, but I was angry about it,” Krantz said.Krantz said that when thefts occurred previously, she and her family had to call the cemetery repeatedly to get the vases replaced. She said the cemetery’s liability insurance covered the replacement costs that time.“We called them repeatedly to get them replaced. We stayed on it until they did it, until they put them back on,” Krantz said.Krantz said she hopes the cemetery will implement security measures to prevent future thefts.“They need some cameras on this end. It’s easy enough. They’re cheap enough now. There’s no reason why they can’t put some kind of cameras here,” Krantz said. “Have a camera where they come and go and have a camera back here and you’ll be set. At least that way we’d have a vehicle or some description.”Krantz noted that the thefts appear to happen in the back of the cemetery where there is no supervision.“Seems like it’s always back there in the back. Well, there’s nobody back in here. So it’s — they’ve got free rain back here,” Krantz said.Families call for security measuresMetro Nashville Police are investigating the thefts and increasing patrols in the area. Families say they were not notified by the property managers about the theft, prompting many to visit the cemetery themselves to check on their loved ones’ graves.“It is very frustrating to know that there are people out there that would desecrate a loved one’s resting place,” Krantz said.Family members say the vases are made of bronze, which has a higher copper content that thieves may try to sell for profit. However, MNPD said the vases are made of brass, generally considered a less valuable metal. WSMV4 is awaiting a response from Joelton Hills Memory Gardens to clarify. Gregory is calling for increased security measures at the cemetery, specifically a gate that closes at night.“If they just put a gate up, lock it, closed after a certain amount of time at night,” Gregory said.Patsy also called for security improvements.“Something has got to be done. They need to put fits around here or security at the entrance. But they need something. I don’t know what could be done, but somebody needs to do something,” Patsy said.The funeral home that oversees the property did not respond to requests for comment.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/its-just-sick-families-say-bronze-grave-vases-stolen-tennessee-cemetery/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Steve Mehling","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:10:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FAQKJ3OTPQZC2HIV7VLIQR7OUDU.png%3Fauth%3D97c7e8805f3b416a5bc1693a54b2332834d7a853f84d82be8c1241c7e37ab0ce%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"its-just-sick-families-say-bronze-grave-vases-stolen-from-tennessee-cemetery"},{"id":"ru27de","title":"Murder trial continues in death of pregnant TN woman, unborn baby, with testimony on search warrant execution and forensic evidence","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The murder trial of Blaise Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans scout accused of giving his pregnant girlfriend Jade Benning a fatal dose of cocaine, continued Thursday into its third day with testimony from investigators and forensic experts.Sgt. Colin Feeney with Metro Nashville Police testified that he was assigned to clear and secure Benning’s apartment for homicide detectives on February 27, 2023, two days after Benning was hospitalized. Sgt. Feeney testified that domestic violence investigators failed to follow protocol to protect the scene. He said the apartment should have been secured prior to his arrival by the domestic violence division.Nijaiha Jackson, Jade Benning's childhood best friend, recalls the final encounter they had just before Benning and her unborn child were allegedly poisoned.A retired Metro officer who worked the crime scene testified that Benning’s friends entering her apartment after she was hospitalized does not automatically mean evidence was tampered with.“Somebody just being inside to collect an article does not automatically mean it’s contaminated,” the officer said.Nicole Dowell, a forensic scientist with the Metro Nashville Police Crime Lab, testified that she tested drinking glasses and juice bottles found in Benning’s apartment and did not find any drug residue. When asked if it was possible the glasses had been washed, Dowell said yes. She also acknowledged it was possible there were never any drugs in the glasses.A friend of Benning’s testified Wednesday that she smelled cleaning products when she entered the apartment that night.A digital forensics expert with Nashville Police, Det. Thomas Miller, examined evidence from Benning’s phone and presented photos and text messages to jurors showing a timeline of her pregnancy and interactions with Taylor.According to the prosecution, Benning, who was nearly six months pregnant at the time, had planned a date night with Taylor the night of the incident. The two had an on-and-off relationship, and Taylor had initially said he did not want a child. They resumed dating in January, a month before her death, in an attempt to strengthen their relationship.During the date, Benning and Taylor had dinner. Two friends stopped by during that time. According to prosecutors, Benning overdosed on a high level of cocaine in her apartment about an hour after her friends left. Taylor is accused of poisoning her by adding drugs to her drink.Det. Miller shared several photos from Benning’s phone during his testimony, which showed her excited about the pregnancy. Throughout her pregnancy, she had posted pictures of herself working out and drinking mocktails, showing her preparing for motherhood.One text message from Benning to Taylor, sent three months before her death, stated: “You said how you felt and stated that moving forward you want no part, so I will let it be that. I will not involve you at any point. I will love this child unconditionally with or without you.”According to the defense, Taylor reached back out to Benning about two months after that message was sent with the intention of working on their relationship.The medical examiner is expected to testify on Friday.Taylor is facing two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/murder-trial-continues-death-pregnant-tn-woman-unborn-baby-with-testimony-search-warrant-execution-forensic-evidence/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Amber Jayanth","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:06:40.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FGUJUOQRKX5HHFIPYB6VWXTEFTE.jpg%3Fauth%3D8810d090523fdd82d6584d75e220446a23dc69f7559d3ff5e1b376d9bc0f2ce9%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"murder-trial-continues-in-death-of-pregnant-tn-woman-unborn-baby-with-testimony-on-search-warrant-ex"},{"id":"id5dbl","title":"Titans, Bluebird Cafe unveil 'Bluebird East' space at new Nissan Stadium -

(WSMV) - Forty-one brass flower cups were stolen from graves at Joelton Hills Memory Gardens between June 16 and 17, leaving families frustrated and heartbroken.Mary Gregory discovered the theft on Father’s Day, June 21, when her grandson visited her son’s grave. Her son was killed in a motorcycle crash in 2020 and was buried with a marker and a brass cup to hold flowers.“People here that has family are hurting enough, and then something like this happens,” Patsy, Gregory’s friend, said.Gregory said her grandson noticed the missing vase while driving past the grave, since many visitors cannot walk well enough to get out of their vehicles.“If you’re not able to get out, which a lot of people can’t walk good, but driving past, you see the flowers, and you don’t realize that the vase has been stolen,” Gregory said. “The cemetery manager said that this is the first incident. No, it’s not. There goes a couple right there that said that theirs had been stolen in the past.”Gregory’s friend Patsy found the same thing — brass flower cups missing from her family’s graves. Patsy has four family plots at the cemetery, and all of them had missing vases.“This is the last thing we can do for our family members. The very last thing,” Patsy said.Patsy discovered the theft on Father’s Day when she and her family brought flowers to her husband’s grave. She said the flowers were left in the holes where the vases had been.“It’s just overwhelming and it’s just sick… Whoever done this. A bunch of thugs. You know, it’s just somebody inhuman. It’s just really, really awful,” Patsy said.Patsy expressed concern about the impact on the graves themselves.“Who could rest in peace with something like that going on?” Patsy said.Prior thefts at the cemeteryMartha Krantz’s family plots were not affected by this theft, but she said it brought back painful memories from a similar incident a couple of years ago, around 2024 or 2025.“Even to the point that I became angry, if God forgive me, but I was angry about it,” Krantz said.Krantz said that when thefts occurred previously, she and her family had to call the cemetery repeatedly to get the vases replaced. She said the cemetery’s liability insurance covered the replacement costs that time.“We called them repeatedly to get them replaced. We stayed on it until they did it, until they put them back on,” Krantz said.Krantz said she hopes the cemetery will implement security measures to prevent future thefts.“They need some cameras on this end. It’s easy enough. They’re cheap enough now. There’s no reason why they can’t put some kind of cameras here,” Krantz said. “Have a camera where they come and go and have a camera back here and you’ll be set. At least that way we’d have a vehicle or some description.”Krantz noted that the thefts appear to happen in the back of the cemetery where there is no supervision.“Seems like it’s always back there in the back. Well, there’s nobody back in here. So it’s — they’ve got free rain back here,” Krantz said.Families call for security measuresMetro Nashville Police are investigating the thefts and increasing patrols in the area. Families say they were not notified by the property managers about the theft, prompting many to visit the cemetery themselves to check on their loved ones’ graves.“It is very frustrating to know that there are people out there that would desecrate a loved one’s resting place,” Krantz said.Gregory is calling for increased security measures at the cemetery, specifically a gate that closes at night.“If they just put a gate up, lock it, closed after a certain amount of time at night,” Gregory said.Patsy also called for security improvements.“Something has got to be done. They need to put fits around here or security at the entrance. But they need something. I don’t know what could be done, but somebody needs to do something,” Patsy said.The funeral home that oversees the property did not respond to requests for comment.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/families-want-more-security-their-loved-ones-resting-places-after-brass-vases-stolen-joelton-graves/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Steve Mehling","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:10:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FAQKJ3OTPQZC2HIV7VLIQR7OUDU.png%3Fauth%3D97c7e8805f3b416a5bc1693a54b2332834d7a853f84d82be8c1241c7e37ab0ce%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"families-want-more-security-for-their-loved-ones-resting-places-after-brass-vases-stolen-from-joelto"},{"id":"918ubb","title":"FEMA official who claimed he teleported to Waffle House ousted from agency, sources say","excerpt":"A top FEMA official who had drawn scrutiny for bizarre past remarks  including claiming he teleported to a Waffle House  has been pushed out of the agency, four sources tell CNN.White House officials appointed Gregg Phillips in December to lead FEMAs Office of Response and Recovery, one of the ag...","content":"A top FEMA official who had drawn scrutiny for bizarre past remarks  including claiming he teleported to a Waffle House  has been pushed out of the agency, four sources tell CNN.White House officials appointed Gregg Phillips in December to lead FEMAs Office of Response and Recovery, one of the agencys most consequential leadership roles, despite his history of promoting election conspiracy theories, particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 election. He came under national scrutiny in March after CNN reported on a cache of outlandish comments from his appearances on right-wing podcasts, including the teleportation claim.The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, confirmed Thursday that Phillips is leaving the agency, saying he is taking leave for personal reasons. But sources tell CNN the departure was not voluntary: New DHS leadership had grown weary of the embarrassment surrounding Phillips public image and of his periodic clashes with the departments other leaders.Even so, Phillips had won over some career FEMA officials. When he arrived, then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her de facto chief of staff Corey Lewandowski were taking aggressive steps to rein in FEMA, shrink the agency and bottleneck funding.FEMA officials said Phillips stood out because he was willing to resist moves that would potentially hobble the agencys work.The Washington Post first reported Phillips departure.CNN previously reported that Phillips described multiple incidents in which he said he had been physically teleported, including one in which he said he suddenly found himself at a Waffle House roughly 50 miles from where he had been moments earlier.He later defended those remarks publicly, saying they reflected genuine spiritual experiences and citing biblical examples of supernatural transportation writing in one comment, haters gonna hate.President Donald Trump later told CNN that Phillips claims sounds a little strange and said he would look into the matter: I know nothing about teleporting or him, but Ill find out about it right now.CNN also previously reported that Phillips had a long record of inflammatory public statements before joining FEMA, including violent rhetoric directed at political opponents, repeated promotion of false election fraud claims, and comments warning that migrants were coming to kill Americans while urging podcast listeners to arm themselves.The-CNN-Wire &  2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

The previous biggest Ukrainian attack over the past year, as Ukraine has accelerated its drone development, involved 556 drones on May 17.In an effort to turn the tables on Russias grinding war of attrition, Ukrainian long-range drones have been battering oil production and energy facilities behind the front line and deep inside Russia.The campaign has choked Russian fuel supplies and military deliveries, stalling Moscow's efforts on the battlefield, Western officials and analysts say, and has heaped pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.A Russian chemical plant is reportedly hitInitial damage reports from Russia after the overnight attack provided scant information. Russias Defense Ministry usually doesn't say what was targeted in Ukraines drone attacks, nor does it detail any damage.Russian independent online outlet Astra reported that a chemical plant and a hydroelectric plant in Novomoskovsk were attacked and caught fire. The Associated Press couldnt independently verify the report, and there was no official confirmation.RELATED STORY | Ukraine's 'Highway of Death': How drones are strangling Russia's southern supply lineMoscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that 47 Ukrainian drones were downed as they flew toward the Russian capital. He did not report any casualties or damage.Ukraines Security Service said it used drones to strike Russian navy ships and air defense radars in Kerch, an important port city in Crimea.The targets were two reconnaissance and minelaying ships, the Volga and the Vyatka, and the cargo-passenger ferry Petropavlovsk, the agency said, claiming that the strikes started a large fire. The claim could not be independently verified.Zelenskyy hints at a 40-day blitz of RussiaThe major attack came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that he had ordered a 40-day influence operation, believed to mean an escalation of attacks, aimed at compelling (Russia) to end the war after U.S. peace efforts over the past year yielded no breakthrough.Ukraine has racked up a list of successful strikes, including hitting targets in Moscow and St. Petersburg.Zelenskyy said he got further promises of foreign support when he attended a recent summit of G7 leaders, including from U.S. President Donald Trump, and that the promised aid will help Ukraine step up its effort to force Putin to the negotiating table.A NATO summit next month could be another key moment in beefing up Ukraine's military.Ukraine says 3 civilians killed and 20 wounded in Russian attacksTwo people were killed and seven others injured in Russian attacks on the northeastern Kharkiv region over the previous 24 hours, regional head Oleh Syniehubov said Friday.Russian forces struck the city of Kharkiv and 16 other settlements across the region using guided aerial bombs and drones of various types, Syniehubov said.On Friday morning, another Russian drone attack on downtown Izium, a city in the Kharkiv region, killed a woman and wounded three other people, emergency services said.Other wounded people and damage were logged in attacks in the capital, Kyiv, the southern Odesa and Zaporizhzhia regions, and Sumy in the northeast, with some of the Russian assaults using powerful glide bombs.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Operation Spider Web: How Ukraine rewrote the rules of drone warfareUkraines defenses overnight stopped 174 of 189 Russian drones, the Ukrainian air force said.

(WSMV) - The Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium could be under new ownership soon as a major stakeholder behind both iconic Nashville venues considers selling its stake — a move that could ripple through country music.“What is that gonna mean?” one visitor asked, capturing the uncertainty many fans say they feel about what comes next.The venues are owned by Opry Entertainment Group. A major stakeholder, Ryman Hospitality Properties, says it is fielding offers as outside interest in country music — and the destinations tied to it — continues to grow.In a statement, the company said, in part, “With the rise in growing global popularity of country music has led several outside entities to inquire about investing in the genre’s many venues.”Ryman Hospitality Properties says it believes the move is best for long-term growth. But some country music fans aren’t convinced.“Keep it here. Keep it locally owned, keep it like a mom and pop situation in a sense. Keep it here. Keep it where it remains. Keep doing what you should be doing and what you need to do. Bring the money in some other way,” said Katrina Fritz, a tourist visiting Nashville.It’s unclear how a sale could impact day-to-day operations at the venues — a question on the minds of many as the future hangs in the balance.“How many people are on Broadway, in Nashville, trying to get to here?” another fan asked.Ryman Hospitality Properties told WSM4 no partnership agreements are in place and there is no guarantee a transaction will happen.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/grand-ole-opry-ryman-could-see-ownership-change-sale-considered/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Jordan James","publishDate":"2026-06-25T23:02:36.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FZ6D7HKWZSZFZPEO7QK7CAXSBHU.jpg%3Fauth%3D8dc3a2b6c25e11a317706ce49998bcdc306e668b4476b4a30daf508cb23e2113%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"grand-ole-opry-ryman-could-see-ownership-change-as-sale-considered"},{"id":"bm1bpy","title":"1 dead, 1 injured after domestic disturbance escalates to shooting at Demonbreun Street hotel","excerpt":"Officers were called to the Comfort Inn in the 1500 block of Demonbreun Street at 12:50 a.m. following a domestic disturbance.","content":"Officers were called to the Comfort Inn in the 1500 block of Demonbreun Street at 12:50 a.m. following a domestic disturbance.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/demonbreun-street-hotel-shooting/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Brittney Baird","publishDate":"2026-06-25T09:43:18.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FScreenshot-2026-06-25-043313.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"1-dead-1-injured-after-domestic-disturbance-escalates-to-shooting-at-demonbreun-street-hotel"},{"id":"35giml","title":"Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto VI brings series back to Florida-inspired Vice City","excerpt":"Grand Theft Auto VI returns to Vice City with a Florida-inspired map featuring Leonida, the Keys, swamps, crime, nightlife and a 2026 release.","content":"Grand Theft Auto VI returns to Vice City with a Florida-inspired map featuring Leonida, the Keys, swamps, crime, nightlife and a 2026 release.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/offbeat/rockstar-games-grand-theft-auto-vi-brings-series-back-florida-inspired-vice-city-leonida-everglades-miami-florida-keys-wetland-video-game-xbox-playstation-jason-duval-lucia-caminos","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-19T13:23:56.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2460%2F986%2F0x111%2F90%2F22233507-9431-46b3-98b4-1440c0afc348-Vice_City_Postcard_landscapecopy.jpg","slug":"rockstar-games-grand-theft-auto-vi-brings-series-back-to-florida-inspired-vice-city"},{"id":"2lupar","title":"Hundreds gather to remember the life of 12-year-old Damarion Morehead","excerpt":"A life lost far too soon is bringing a community together.Hundreds gathered to remember 12-year-old Damarion Morehead, who killed in a shooting downtown last Sunday evening.Thursday night, friends, family, and neighbors are honored his memory by gathering at McFerrin Park with balloons, candles a...","content":"A life lost far too soon is bringing a community together.Hundreds gathered to remember 12-year-old Damarion Morehead, who killed in a shooting downtown last Sunday evening.Thursday night, friends, family, and neighbors are honored his memory by gathering at McFerrin Park with balloons, candles and customized t-shirts.Damarquis Morehead, Damarion's father, said his son made him the man he is today.\"I'm lost for words when it comes to my child,\" he said. \"I'm sorry that I wasn't there, under the circumstances that I was at work, and I really wish I was there to hold my son and tell my son everything would be okay.\"\"I feel like we all need a village you know what I'm saying especially to get through a hard time like this,\" added Damarion's aunt.It was certainly a village that showed up at McFerrin Park to lean on one another and remember Mari as a fun, silly kid who loved to rap, play football and hang out with friends.\"I just want everybody to remember his infectious smile,\" his aunt told us.Several family members said he will forever be in their memories and hearts.When asked what the turnout Thursday means to him, Demarion's dad said it shows \"that my son was important. That he meant something to the world...to the community, not just this city. That my son was somebody. That my son was not just another corpse.\"Police say the fight Sunday broke out over a girl and involved six or seven people. Detectives say the shooter was being punched and kicked when he pulled out a gun and started firing and hit Damarion. Detectives say they arrested 24-year-old Devin Orr Monday morning.

It's a true whirlwind for those who appreciate the opportunity.For a band photoshoot, you've gotta get the right look. A group of teen students rummaged through boxes of props and costumes.\"It is Phantom of the Opera,\" one student said, throwing on a cape. \"I just don't think it'll match me.\"You've got to get the right concept. Here's what this crew came up with for their photoshoot; they would be gathered as a light shines down on them from a hovering UFO.\"So you're the actual aliens rather than being abducted by aliens?\" I asked one of the students.\"That's actually a really good question!\" she laughed.It's a work in progress.\"Kinda a groovy Earth, Wind & Fire vibe we were going for,\" said student Jaida Hayes.Love the reference. By the way, Hayes is a member of student band The Vision.\"It was based on the idea that we have a lot of different visions for what this band could look like,\" she explained.If this is a Behind the Music special on The Vision, here's the story of how they got here.It starts with a man named W.O. Smith who launched the W.O. Smith Music School in 1984. Helping to continue Smith's original mission today is music education director Jordan Morrison.\"It's to provide access and equity for low income students to be able to access music education,\" Morrison said. \"If they qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, they qualify to come here. They participate in ensembles, lessons.\"Actually, Hayes' dad and several other family members took lessons at W.O. Smith Music School.\"I started taking lessons here when I was eight or nine-years-old,\" she added.\"They come here for 50 cents per activity, per time,\" said Morrison.What's happening now at the school is called Camp Backbeat. During a week of camp, students form bands. They rehearse together, hear from industry professionals, and by the end of the week come some big opportunities.\"They're recording tomorrow at Columbia Studio A on Music Row,\" Morrison said.On Saturday come live performances at EXIT/IN.\"Now that we're getting closer to performance, it's a little stressful,\" Hayes said with a smile. \"We're trying to lock in our parts, get the rhythm right.\"\"For a camp like this, you'd normally pay hundreds of dollars to have access to it,\" Morrison said. \"Our students pay ten dollars for the week.\"Back at that UFO alien abduction photoshoot, the band gathered together, staring up at a spaceship that would be added as a graphic later.\"We were kinda teleported, I guess, and we found each other, and we're a band now,\" Hayes said.Do you have a positive, good news story?

(WSMV) - High temperatures expected over the next week make it critical to ensure your air conditioning system is ready for the heat.“What’s going to happen in July, it’s going to be like someone forgot to turn the oven off. You are going to wake up at 6 or 7 in the morning, it’s just heat,” Nashville Resident Steve Wilson said.Preparing your A/C systemIf your system is eight years or older and hasn’t been maintained recently, Mark Kenney with Premier Heating and Air recommends scheduling service before the hottest days arrive.“If it’s eight years old or older, and you haven’t had it maintained, please do that first. Get it cleaned, checked, drains cleaned, filter changed, that way your ahead of it and prepared,” Kenney said.He also suggests changing air filters on the inside of your home to increase airflow.Understanding system limitsA/C systems have performance limits during extreme heat. Kenney said most systems are designed to operate efficiently at 95 degrees outside.“The system is designed at 95 degrees outside, so every degree over 95, the system will start to struggle,” Kenney said.When temperatures climb higher, units will slow down and may struggle to keep up with cooling demands.Here’s how to spot the signs of heat-related illnesses as dangerous heat, humidity impacts the MidstateFirst Alert Weather Days: Dangerously hot, humid weather targeting Middle TennesseeWhat to do if your system failsIf your air conditioning stops working during hot weather, turn the system off immediately and call for service, Kenney said.“If your system is not working and you place a service call, turn the system off. The reason why, if the system is frozen, and you wait several hours and the technician gets there, if it’s still frozen we can’t do anything until it thaws,” Kenney said.Thermostat settingsResidents have varying preferences for thermostat settings, with most keeping their systems between the mid-60s and mid-70s. Kenney said most people set their thermostats around 72 degrees.Power companies may ask residents to raise their thermostat settings slightly during peak demand to help conserve energy.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/beat-heat-ac-maintenance-tips-before-dangerous-heat-arrives-middle-tennessee/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Sarah Allen","publishDate":"2026-06-25T22:59:12.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FOCQ7TIPJDBCOJLYYCYMGIB3RXE.png%3Fauth%3Dd69fc653fd547b7aa502f80edf1203cc0f3091966f55a83579bf2a7e7753bf4e%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"beat-the-heat-ac-maintenance-tips-before-dangerous-heat-arrives-in-middle-tennessee"},{"id":"3a1y8n","title":"Man charged with sexual battery after downtown Nashville attack","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A unhoused man is behind bars after Metro Nashville Police say he grabbed a woman multiple times and tried to kiss her early Wednesday morning on a downtown street.Tyrone Brown was arrested and charged with sexual battery. Police say the attack occurred early Wednesday on the corner of Korean Veterans Boulevard and 3rd Avenue South, an area with popular hotels and tourists in town for an Alan Jackson concert this weekend.When a witness stepped in to help, police say Brown punched that person in the face. Brown fled to a nearby Dollar General, where he was arrested without incident.The victim, who is also unhoused and knows Brown, was not seriously hurt. She told WSMV she was shaken by the attack but glad Brown was caught.The incident has prompted some visitors to be more cautious in the area. Brooke Loewen, visiting Nashville from Washington State with her mother Tracy, said they are being careful about their surroundings.“As we are walking around seeing the sites we are being very cautious of eyes are up we are watching we are keeping our stuff on us and being as cautious as we can be,” Brooke Loewen said.Tracy Loewen said the broader issue extends beyond Nashville. “It’s a problem in our whole country.

Duffy spoke exclusively with NewsChannel 5 following the tour.The Boring Company, owned by Elon Musk, started work on the tunnel system earlier this year. According to the company, crews are digging tunnels in each direction from downtown to the airport, and a second line down West End Avenue to the Riverfront. When it opens, users will be able to pay to ride in a Tesla underground to their destination.Duffy said he understands the frustration Nashville commuters face. \"You have congestion. And I think everybody feels it as you try to travel throughout the city,\" Duffy said.Before the interview, NewsChannel 5 asked viewers on social media what they wanted to know about the project. Many wrote they want to understand how the tunnel system could actually reduce traffic on Nashville's interstates.\"For the average Nashvillian that may not take this ever, or all the time, how do you feel like this project might actually help them?\" I asked.\"Well, if you have people who are going to the airport and it's not you, and they take this project, that's one less car you have on the road,\" Sec. Duffy said.When pressed on whether the tunnel's capacity would be enough to make a meaningful difference on Nashville interstates, Duffy acknowledged its limits. \"So, it'll make a difference. Right?\" said Duffy. \"You expand capacity and you take some traffic off your roads, of course it'll have an impact. Is it like I'm building you a brand new six lane freeway? No it's not that.\"Viewers also raised concerns about safety  specifically what would happen in the event of an emergency or fire inside the tunnel. Duffy said the Boring Company assured him there is enough space for passengers to exit vehicles if there is a malfunction, and that the system includes ventilation to address smoke or dangerous gases. \"And then you have an air system if there's issues with smoke, pushes that debris out the other end of the tunnel. They've been thinking through the safety component of this rigorously,\" Duffy said.While Duffy praised the project, the process has not been without controversy. Metro Council Member Delisha Porterfield has been critical of how the project moved forward. \"I'm looking at a backroom deal that our state did with a company without engaging with the people or the local government,\" Porterfield said.The state also created an underground transportation commission earlier this year that cost Tennessee taxpayers just under $1 million to operate  even as Duffy described the broader project as one that won't directly cost taxpayers.Despite the criticism, Duffy said he sees the Music City Loop as more than just a local fix. \"I think what starts off as this project can also evolve into new concepts, new projects that can have additional benefits, not just to your city but to others as well,\" Duffy said.Do you have more information about this story?

(KKTV/Gray News) - Charges have been filed against a pair of Colorado mortuary owners accused of mishandling the remains of two dozen deceased people.The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the 10th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced the charges against Brian Lee Cotter and Christopher Aaron Cotter, owners of Davis Mortuary, on Thursday afternoon.The announcement followed their arrests that morning.Brian Cotter is the former Pueblo County Coroner. He and his brother Christopher purchased the mortuary in 1989.Last August, inspectors from the Office of Funeral and Mortuary Science Services found 24 decomposing bodies hidden in the mortuary. The district attorney’s office said, at this time, 19 bodies have been identified. Previously, law enforcement was attempting to have all bodies identified before filing charges. Officials said they used “all available technology” to identify the bodies. Alongside the full remains, law enforcement said they were working to identify “many, many cremains,” as well as bones.The two men are each being held on $1 million bonds and face 125 counts of abuse of a corpse, nine counts of forgery and more than 25 theft charges.The theft charges stem from allegations that Davis Mortuary failed to properly deposit required funds into trust accounts.According to law enforcement, it is fair to conclude that there are 125 total victims. CBI Director Armando Saldate III described the Cotters as showing “complete disregard for the dignity of the deceased,” calling the state of the remains under their care a “profound betrayal” of trust.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/26/brothers-are-accused-mishandling-remains-two-dozen-people-colorado-funeral-home/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Bryce Patterson, Aspen Andrews, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-26T09:49:37.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSVTM7VRBMNELZKZR2WNX26YMAI.png%3Fauth%3D9918dec6de746fdcc13f06a3bfe02ef22744189f9015f7320f4b0112b65e0dd0%26smart%3Dfalse","inBriefing":true,"slug":"brothers-are-accused-of-mishandling-remains-of-two-dozen-people-at-colorado-funeral-home"},{"id":"6eeny3","title":"TDOT prepares to expand Rural Service Patrol to Middle Tennessee","excerpt":"The expansion begins this weekend in TDOT's Region 3 and is expected to be fully operational by July.

In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled against Missouri resident John Durnell, who claimed that Roundup caused his cancer and overturned a $1.25 million jury award.The majority said federal law does not allow state lawsuits against Monsanto.“EPA has not required glyphosate-based pesticides like Roundup to include a cancer warning on their labels. Therefore, as a matter of federal law, Monsanto legally must use a label without a cancer warning,” wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the majority opinion. Thousands of other failure-to-warn lawsuits involving the weed killer are expected to be dismissed as a result of the decision but a $7.25 billion class-action settlement is still set to proceed.“This Supreme Court ruling wrongly slams the courthouse door on Americans sickened by pesticides, and underscores why we negotiated a $7.25 billion settlement that guarantees compensation to Roundup victims regardless of today’s decision,” said Christopher A. Seeger, a lawyer for class counsel in the settlement. “We urge those opposing this agreement, including the attorney who unsuccessfully argued Durnell, to drop their opposition so that tens of thousands of cancer victims no longer have to wait for justice after a decade of delay.”Monsanto owner Bayer said the “decision is good for science, farmers, and industries that depend on regulatory clarity for innovation.”Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch dissented, writing in their opinion that the ruling was based on “a labeling requirement that does not exist.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/supreme-court-blocks-roundup-cancer-lawsuit/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Stetson Miller","publishDate":"2026-06-25T22:35:31.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FOHYGK6LGTVGL5GYZ5OPTJF5NA4.jpg%3Fauth%3Db249379f0b28705101925a6d4106f655ca4edbd3a9cc59780eb7b6168f74b079%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"supreme-court-blocks-roundup-weed-killer-lawsuit"},{"id":"otx5p2","title":"Grab your funnel cake: Great American State Fair kicks off","excerpt":"WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - The National Mall has transformed into the Great American State Fair as part of America250, celebrating nation’s birthday.

We're only changing when and where they can be sold. And we're just using our established plan that we've been using for years with fireworks. We're just keeping that in place,\" Fire Chief Jeff Beaman said.\"Fireworks are not banned. I promise you they're not banned. Again, the only thing that we changed was sparking devices will be sold with fireworks. We still have the same locations, the same time frames and the same times you can go out and enjoy those,\" Beaman said.Outside of the Fourth of July window, Gallatin residents can also set off sparklers and other fireworks on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

The case highlights a loophole in the federal No Surprises Act and Tennessee’s failed effort to ban balance billing for emergency ambulance rides.Why It MattersThe man said the ambulance bill he received was twice the cost of his surgery. What Happens NextLawmakers say they’ll be pushing for legislation in the next session to stop surprise bills from ambulances.For ContextA state bill to close the federal loophole passed the House unanimously but stalled in the Senate, meaning patients remain vulnerable.NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Joshua Carlson thought the worst part of his medical emergency was over.The Clarksville man had spent a Friday night in excruciating pain, convinced he was suffering from severe gas. Instead, doctors told him gallstones had inflamed his gallbladder and that it needed to be removed immediately.There was just one problem.“They couldn’t perform that surgery,” Carlson said. “So, I was there until 5:30 in the morning when I got transported.”Before sunrise, Carlson was loaded into a Vanderbilt LifeFlight ground ambulance and transported 49 miles to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.The surgery went well. Two days later, he returned home believing the ordeal was behind him.Tennessee lawmakers pushing to protect patients from ‘surprise’ ambulance billingThen another shock arrived in the mail.“I couldn’t believe it,” Carlson said. “The price of the bill, to me, was astronomical.”His health insurer had paid only a portion of the ambulance bill, leaving Carlson responsible for more than $4,800.Carlson had become one of thousands of Americans caught in one of the last major gaps in federal protections against surprise medical bills.Congress has largely eliminated surprise billing for emergency medical care, and for Carlson, the experience still doesn’t make sense.“When we were told we needed to go to Nashville, my wife’s first question was, ‘What’s the address of the hospital, so I can get him over there?’” Carlson said. “But they said no, I had to go by ambulance and that’s the way it was done.”So, a couple hours later, Carlson says he boarded the ambulance.Weeks later, he was staring at a bill larger than many people’s monthly mortgage payment.“That bill was actually two times more than what I paid for my surgery,” Carlson said.A loophole in federal lawCarlson’s bill was not the result of a clerical mistake or an insurance denial.It was legal.The federal No Surprises Act, which took effect in 2022, prohibits what is known as “surprise billing” in many emergency medical situations. The law prevents out-of-network providers from billing patients for charges their insurance company refuses to pay.The protections apply to emergency rooms.They apply to out-of-network physicians practicing inside in-network hospitals.They even apply to air ambulances.But they do not apply to ground ambulances.Health policy experts say Congress intentionally excluded ground ambulance services because the industry is complex.Unlike hospitals or physician groups, ambulance services are operated through a patchwork of municipal governments, fire departments, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and private companies. Their funding models vary dramatically from state to state — and even county to county — making a one-size-fits-all federal reimbursement system difficult to create.The result is a regulatory gap that consumer advocates say leaves patients financially vulnerable during some of the most stressful moments of their lives.Tennessee tries to close the gapThis year, Tennessee lawmakers attempted to eliminate the loophole.House Bill 1061, sponsored by Rep. Greg Vital, R-Harrison, would have prohibited out-of-network ambulance providers from balance-billing patients covered by health insurance for emergency transportation. Patients would pay only their normal copay, coinsurance or deductible, while insurers and ambulance providers negotiated the remaining payment.“When you call 911, your focus should be on getting the critical help you need, not worrying about whether the ambulance is in-network,” Rep. Greg Vital said when the legislation advanced through the House. “This bill eliminates surprise billing for emergency ambulance services and provides greater financial protection for patients during moments of crisis.”The proposal passed the Tennessee House unanimously. But it never became law.After clearing the House on a 94-0 vote, the bill stalled in the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee before lawmakers adjourned for the year.Vital has pledged to reintroduce the legislation during the next legislative session, saying Tennesseans remain vulnerable to surprise ambulance bills they have little ability to avoid.Taking a ride in an ambulance may cost more than you’d thinkAn expensive rideCarlson still remembers opening the bill.“I knew I was going to be getting medical bills,” Carlson said. “But when that ambulance bill came in, it was horrendous to me.”More than anything, he says he couldn’t understand why he was being charged thousands of dollars for a medical decision he never believed was his to make.Asked whether he felt like he’d been “taken for a ride,” Carlson laughed before answering.“Oh, more or less, yeah,” he said. “I just don’t think their charging me more than $4,800 is fair.”His ambulance provider, Vanderbilt LifeFlight, was outside his insurance network.His insurer covered roughly $1,000 of the transportation cost.The remaining balance became Carlson’s responsibility.Questions and an unexpected resolutionWSMV Investigates contacted Vanderbilt University Medical Center seeking an explanation for Carlson’s bill and asking why an insured patient transferred for emergency surgery owed more than $4,800.Citing patient privacy, hospital officials declined to discuss Carlson’s account but said in part that “[d]ecisions about the use of an ambulance, and the type of ambulance used, are made by the referring physician and not by LifeFlight.”Hours later, Carlson said his phone rang.The balance on his account had been reduced to zero.Vanderbilt did not explain why the bill had been forgiven.Carlson said he was relieved, but he couldn’t help wondering about patients who don’t have WSMV4 Investigates asking questions on their behalf.“If y’all hadn’t called,” he said, “I’d probably still be paying it.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/last-surprise-bill-tennessees-failed-fight-close-ground-ambulance-loophole/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Stacey

Neither does cruelty.

The warrant alleges that Grady assaulted two people with a gun on May 31 while conspiring with Isaiah Lewis, 23, and Tazhan Beverly, 25, to commit the crime.According to court documents, Grady, Lewis, and Beverly got into a blue Acura that day, where the 19-year-old accidentally called 911 from his cellphone. Authorities noted that the recorded 911 audio captured Grady stating the word “Vesta” as if the trio was driving to that neighborhood. Grady’s arrest warrant continued, saying that camera footage in Vesta Village showed the vehicle in question entering the area and parking with Lewis and Bevererly, then appearing to conceal guns before a ShotSpotter detected gunfire.The document claimed that the vehicle’s path also coincided with the location of the ankle monitor that Grady was wearing.The 19-year-old is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. His bond setting has not been authorized.Lewis and Beverly made their initial court appearance in the case earlier this month.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/man-charged-with-assault-accidentally-called-911-way-alleged-crime-authorities-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Hudson Steiner, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-25T21:21:33.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FQVO53RERKFDS5B47J3LNRIKGUY.jpg%3Fauth%3D89b2effd7c870189bfc381cd0410c577610002c831b3045d4a7c0d36f309db1c%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-charged-with-assault-accidentally-called-911-on-way-to-alleged-crime-authorities-say"},{"id":"rvcfl7","title":"Davidson County Sheriff’s Office employee shot in part of ‘ongoing domestic situation’","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Paul Hollis, director of the U.S. Mint, said the agency sends massive quantities of coins to the Federal Reserve, which distributes them to banks across the nation.Collectors can also buy a set from the U.S. Mint for about $100, or special editions, such as a Liberty Bell coin, for $19,000.But the 250th anniversary coins may not fetch a pretty penny in the future, according to Erthal.“Oftentimes, they get slightly under what they pay for them. And that’s because there’s a high premium associated with the Mint,” Erthal said.The coins may be more valuable for sentimental reasons than as an investment, Erthal said.“So you might not count on this as a money maker, but a very cool way to collect the heritage of the United States coinage,” he said.Some coins can increase in value, like the 2021 Liberty High Relief Gold Coin.“In a perfect proof, a 70 grade from NGC or PCGS brings around $13,000,” Erthal said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/us-mint-releases-special-coins-americas-250th-anniversary/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Heather Sullivan, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-25T20:49:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FH4X754RM3ZBWHKXQBHMGAIGAIM.jpg%3Fauth%3D499ae168f55b30b616c104693a8ebddd1eb878eca28d5eb0d3a18d44ffb923d1%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"us-mint-releases-special-coins-for-americas-250th-anniversary"},{"id":"mbcud8","title":"Toddler dies after being found in backyard pool, officials say","excerpt":"PHOENIX (AZFamily/Gray News) — A one-year-old child has died after being pulled out of a backyard pool in Phoenix, according to the city’s fire department.First responders were called to a home at 7:30 p.m. for reports of a drowning.

(Gray News) - A 76-year-old grandmother in Texas died after a man driving a Tesla on Autopilot allegedly crashed into her home, according to authorities.The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said Michael Butler was traveling in a Tesla in Katy when his car failed to drive in a single lane, left the roadway and struck a home on June 19, at around 8 p.m, NBC News reportedWhen the Tesla slammed into the home at a high rate of speed, it struck 76-year-old Martha Avila, who was inside.Avila was airlifted to a hospital, where she later died from her injuries.Authorities found no signs of intoxication.Butler, who was also taken to the hospital, told authorities that the car was operating on autopilot at the time of the crash, the Harris County constable for Precinct 5 said.The family of the 76-year-old grandmother who died has filed a lawsuit against Tesla and the driver.In the complaint filed on Tuesday, Avila’s family said that she was with them and their children inside the family’s home when the crash happened, People reported.The family filing the complaint alleged that the Tesla, which included its automated driving systems, “was defective in design and unreasonably dangerous for its intended and reasonably foreseeable use at the time it was placed into the stream of commerce by Tesla.”The family alleged in the complaint that the vehicle’s defective condition contributed to Avila’s death and the damages they suffered, NBC News reported.They said that Tesla knew or should have known the vehicle’s systems posed a risk of serious injury and death, and that the company failed to provide adequate warnings or guidelines regarding the foreseeable use of the vehicle and those systems.In addition to Tesla, the complaint accused driver Butler of negligence, claiming that “he had a duty to exercise the degree of care that a reasonably careful person would use to avoid harm to others.”According to the complaint, the family is seeking personal injury damages for their physical injuries and survival and wrongful death damages for Avila’s estate.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/grandmother-dies-after-man-driving-tesla-autopilot-crashes-into-home-authorities-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Akim Powell","publishDate":"2026-06-25T20:21:06.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FHEM5DTBODZATTH2HEPR2OXMCG4.png%3Fauth%3D125fda38e040fb4321fa97ab76eed8a5486289eff1c071a68c4e65ce12b024a8%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"grandmother-dies-after-man-driving-tesla-on-autopilot-crashes-into-home-authorities-say"},{"id":"m7czvr","title":"Clarksville former doctor charged in nationwide DOJ healthcare fraud crackdown","excerpt":"A Clarksville former doctor is part of a nationwide healthcare fraud crackdown by the federal government.","content":"A Clarksville former doctor is part of a nationwide healthcare fraud crackdown by the federal government.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/clarksville-former-doctor-charged-in-nationwide-health-care-fraud-crackdown","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T22:15:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F896%2F986%2F0x42%2F90%2F44362ed8-ea02-4f47-8344-3c687b057e65-Screenshot20260623171120.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"clarksville-former-doctor-charged-in-nationwide-doj-healthcare-fraud-crackdown"},{"id":"a3vik0","title":"Ponce Law’s Michael Ponce talks sharing the road with motorcycles","excerpt":"Sponsored - The following content is created on behalf of Ponce Law and does not reflect the opinions of Gray Media or its editorial staff.

To learn more about Ponce Law, visit www.poncelaw.com.As a motorcyclist in Tennessee, you are expected to obey traffic signals and patterns, stay within posted speed limits, yield to other vehicles or pedestrians who have the right-of-way, and generally act responsibly and rationally at all times. Other drivers around you are expected to treat you and your bike like any other driver and their car or truck, specifically by giving you a safe amount of space in your traffic lane and not driving aggressively around you.With all that said, though, there are a few unique ways in which Tennessee law specifically addresses motorcycle riders that are worth knowing about in advance—not just to avoid a ticket but also to protect your right to civil recovery if you get hurt in a crash caused by someone else’s misconduct. Below is a brief overview of these important Nashville motorcycle traffic laws, all of which a seasoned motorcycle wreck attorney at Ponce Law can go into more detail about during a private meeting.Understanding Key Aspects of Tennessee’s Motorcycle Traffic Laws Roadway legislation for motorcyclists in Tennessee is primarily meant to protect them and ensure their safety while riding on its roads. Therefore, riders are expected to familiarize themselves with these laws to reduce their risk of being in a motorcycle accident. A breakdown of Tennessee traffic regulations includes:Wearing a DOT FMVSS #218 motorcycle helmet or one approved by the state Commissioner of Safety. This applies to both the rider and the passenger. Passengers must have access to appropriate seats and footrests. All riders must have eye protection gear, such as safety goggles, windshields, glasses, or face shields, while riding on Tennessee’s roads.Motorcyclists operating bikes with an engine capacity over 50cc must hold a Class M license. Proper and functional headlights and rear lights are required while riding, and the headlights must be turned on while riding during the day.Motorcycles are required to have working brakes, rearview mirrors, and mufflers – no cutouts.Motorcyclists may use the right shoulder of a highway to bypass traffic to reach the nearest exit, provided the average speed of moving traffic is 25 mph or less. However, they must not exceed 45 mph while taking the shoulder and must adhere to other roadway rules.Motorcyclists have as much right to the roadway as other vehicles, as well as the same safety responsibilities.Riders must also carry valid motorcycle insurance to maintain their license and ride their bikes.These motorcycle traffic laws apply to all Nashville riders and throughout the state. Bike riders who follow these regulations are more likely to stay safe while riding on the roads and reduce their odds of being involved in a crash.A violation of these laws can result in penalties ranging from monetary fines to points on the motorcyclist’s license, and even a prison sentence.Lane Splitting and Lane SharingIn some states, motorcyclists are allowed to ride between traffic lanes to get past traffic jams on highways or advance to the front of a line of cars at a red light. However, if you’re wondering “Is lane splitting legal in Tennessee?”, please note that it is explicitly prohibited by law, and any motorcycle rider who ends up in a crash because they were violating this law may be found comparatively at fault for their accident, potentially limiting or preventing their ability to recover civil compensation.One unique thing that traffic laws in Nashville do allow motorcycle riders to do is “lane sharing”—in other words, riding next to another motorcyclist within a single lane of traffic. However, it is illegal for three or more motorcyclists to ride abreast inside a single traffic lane, and it is also illegal for any motor vehicle driver to share a traffic lane with a motorcyclist in this way.Advancing Through Red LightsAnother unique aspect of Nashville motorcycle traffic law is that, under certain circumstances, motorcyclists are allowed to advance through red lights. More specifically, if you are stopped at a stoplight that cycles based on pressure plates under the road or some other vehicle detection system, you can proceed through the red light if you have come to a complete stop and waited multiple light cycles without the traffic system detecting you and your motorcycle.It is worth emphasizing, though, that this exception to the usual rule only applies in situations where the technology used to operate a traffic light has malfunctioned, not just when a light is taking a long time to change. Additionally, if you end up in a wreck while advancing through a red light, you will likely be presumed at fault for that accident, even if you suffer serious injuries.The Role of Nashville Motorcycle Traffic Laws in Accident ClaimsWhile these traffic regulations are designed to keep riders safe on the road, they serve an additional purpose of protecting them in the event of a crash. Motorcyclists who follow roadway rules are more likely to successfully pursue compensation from the liable party if they sustain injuries after a motorcycle accident.Injured victims can easily file injury claims against the person(s) responsible for their traffic wreck and get paid in the process. However, if they broke the rules or failed to follow the law, they could lose that claim, or their settlement may be significantly reduced at best.For instance, if a motorcyclist suffers severe head injuries in a crash caused by someone else because they were not wearing a DOT-approved helmet, they may be able to recover limited compensation. The insurer is likely to claim that the rider’s catastrophic injuries were due to the absence of a motorcycle helmet – that had they worn the helmet, their injuries would not have been as grave.Therefore, they are likely to only cover the cost of treatment to an extent, typically based on their estimations of the extent of injuries the rider would have sustained if they had a helmet on.An experienced Nashville motorcycle accident lawyer can help injured riders explore their legal options and see if they have a case, even if they broke a few rules.A Nashville Attorney Can Answer Questions About Motorcycle Traffic LawsFor the most part, Tennessee state law provides the same rights to and imposes the same responsibilities on motorcyclists as it does for people driving all other types of automobiles. Unfortunately, not every driver lives up to their responsibilities while driving near motorcyclists, and that sometimes leads to accidents with devastating consequences.If you were seriously hurt in a traffic collision despite following Nashville motorcycle traffic laws, you may have grounds for legal action that an experienced biker injury lawyer can help you pursue.

We fully cooperated with the officer. I am hopeful the misdemeanor charges will be dropped once the facts are reviewed.”Miller is a five-time Olympian, competing in the Winter Games from 1998 through 2014. He has six Olympic medals, including one gold medal from the 2010 Vancouver Games. He won bronze at his final Olympics, the 2014 Sochi Games.According to People, he retired in 2017.

(WOWT/Gray News) — A former Nebraska brain surgeon awaiting trial for sexual assault of a child plans to plead insanity.Travis Tierney was one of several men accused of repeatedly sneaking into the basement of a west Omaha home to sexually assault a 15-year-old.Investigators accused him of sneaking into the home three weekends in a row in the spring of 2024.A Douglas County District Court judge previously stripped Tierney of $75,000 he posted to get out of jail before trial. He was not supposed to travel out of Douglas County, but investigators found he had flown to Arizona.A fugitive team later picked him up at the airport.For nine months, Tierney’s criminal case was in limbo while he was examined by state psychiatrists to determine whether he was competent for trial. In January, state psychiatrists determined he was competent.Tierney’s attorney now plans to argue that he was not responsible by reason of insanity.A judge has ordered doctors at the Lincoln Regional Center to examine whether Tierney was insane at the time of the alleged crimes.Competency is about whether a person can understand the legal proceedings and participate in their defense.A defense of not responsible by reason of insanity goes to the time the alleged crimes occurred. Psychiatrists must determine whether Tierney could distinguish between right and wrong at the time of the crimes, or whether a mental illness prevented him from knowing and understanding what he was doing.An answer from that examination is likely months away.Tierney will remain in custody until trial.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/former-brain-surgeon-plans-plead-insanity-child-sexual-assault-case/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Brian Mastre, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-25T18:58:41.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FOUZ6M2WRVNGSFKHA426WT4JZV4.jpg%3Fauth%3D1a60884d6303d1a295f914a652d94290d60eefd666f6eeb55dea06499108dca5%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"former-brain-surgeon-plans-to-plead-insanity-in-child-sexual-assault-case"},{"id":"byc359","title":"Gabby Petito Foundation to host ‘Break the Silence’ domestic violence awareness event in Nashville","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The Gabby Petito Foundation is bringing its mission to Nashville this weekend, aiming to raise awareness about domestic violence and missing people.Petito’s family, along with the Joseph Family Foundation, will host an event called “Break the Silence” to highlight warning signs of abuse and encourage community support for survivors and families.The event will bring together survivors, advocates and families to learn more about warning signs and ways people can all come together to look out for one another. Petito’s mother, Nichole Schmidt, president of the Gabby Petito Foundation, said the gathering is intended to build connections in Nashville.“We will also be displaying some of Gabby’s artwork, which we have never done before,” Schmidt said. “We’ve kind of held it close to our hearts and for the first time ever, people will be able to see her artwork up close and personal.”Schmidt said the display will also include some of Petito’s notebooks and items she traveled with, calling it a chance for the public to better understand who Petito was beyond headlines.“We’re excited to do something on a really personal scale,” she said, adding that she hopes the community “rallies together and understands we’re doing this for awareness and to show the humanity behind who Gabby was.”Schmidt said she hopes the public remembers that families who become advocates are still grieving.“I hope that the four of us parents, although we’re advocates for prevention and preventing domestic violence, and helping families with missing loved ones as well, we’re also still victims in this,” she said. “We hope that maybe people are aware that they can have more empathy for families like ours because we are just normal people.”The event is scheduled for Sunday, June 28, at JBJ’s in downtown Nashville. It runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is open to all ages, though children under 14 must attend with a legal guardian or parent, organizers said.The goal, organizers said, is to educate the public that domestic violence and coercive control can affect anyone, at any age.The event comes as Nashville continues to track deadly domestic violence. According to the Metro Office of Family Safety, there were nine domestic violence murders in Nashville in 2024. The office reports offenders are five times more likely to kill their victim if they own a gun, and 20 times more likely if they have previously threatened or assaulted the victim with a firearm. The office said 78% of those murders were committed against an intimate partner.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/gabby-petito-foundation-host-break-silence-domestic-violence-awareness-event-nashville/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Alexandria Adams","publishDate":"2026-06-25T18:54:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSH3CYOKRWZF3RAREFX2PN4TTPI.jpg%3Fauth%3D362167423be448d6c7af0a5b2680bd055c4c977d536864f4c2fcf1b23a262877%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"gabby-petito-foundation-to-host-break-the-silence-domestic-violence-awareness-event-in-nashville"},{"id":"jue3rn","title":"Trying to fix your credit?

And if you can pay those bills in full, do it,” Rathner said. “Not just credit cards but any other loans. So, if you have a student loan payment, a car loan, your mortgage, obviously make all of those payments on time.”Rathner said it’s also important to pay other bills on time, including utilities and cell phone bills. And for renters, she said paying rent on time matters, too.For those that struggle to remember the different bill deadlines throughout the month, Rathner suggested setting up alerts for when a bill is due.“You can also rely on autopay,” Rathner said. “If you have the money and funding in your checking account to support paying your bills automatically, then do that. Get it off of your mind, not just with credit card bills, but you also do this with other loan payments as well.”Rathner said avoiding late payments is critical. She said a payment that is more than 30 days late can drop your credit score dramatically.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/trying-fix-your-credit-start-with-on-time-payments/","source":"WSMV 4

Plus, the latest age-friendly car features designed to keep you driving longer and more safely. Then, medical myths about genetics and disease; how much control you really have over your health. And later, an inspiring story of self-love transforming a community. What happens if the caregiver gets sick? Why you need a backup plan It can be easy to neglect your own health when you are a caregiver and to put off planning for the unexpected. If you do not have a backup plan in place, an emergency can become a dangerous and expensive crisis for the entire family. Learn more about building your backup plan. Read the full article here. Age-friendly cars: What to look for as driving needs change Newer vehicles, including cars with driver-assist technology, could make driving easier for older adults. The Aging Untold experts say those features still require thoughtful decision-making. “I turned everything on my car because I could use all the help I can get,” Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, said. “Lane assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise, everything. Turn on all the stuff.” Learn more about the features that might be useful for older drivers. Read the full article here. Study reveals how genetics and environment shape disease risk If you think your family history makes disease inevitable, you still might be able to reduce your risk. A Penn State study looked at how genes and environmental factors — including air pollution, socioeconomic status and healthy living habits — affect a person’s chances of getting sick.

Josephine Mazych said FAN stands for Fihankra Akoma Ntoaso, which means “safe places, linked hearts.” “I don’t think that you can do anything for anybody else unless you love yourself and have a true understanding of who you are,” Mazych said. She said many people in the community do not have others affirming them. “But we are here. We’re going to affirm you. We’re going to tell you how great and how amazing you are because you have to hear it in order to begin to believe it,” she said.

(WSMV) - A family is pushing for their daughter’s expulsion to be overturned over a threatening note they say she turned in to administration, but didn’t write, which led to her removal from Antioch High School.The girl’s father went in front of the Metro Nashville Public Schools Board of Education on Tuesday, pushing for a review of the incident that led to his daughter’s expulsion in January.He said that forensic and handwriting analysis indicate she did not write that note. So, he’s pushing for a review and overturn of her expulsion.Threatening note against Antioch High School investigated, found to be hoaxThe girl also spoke to the board, claiming she was trying to do the right thing by reporting the threatening note, but was punished anyway. She added that she’s proved she didn’t do anything wrong and feels ignored, while referencing the school shooting in January 2025 that left her friend dead and describes herself as being involved in ROTC, sports and an honor student.“I was the student that was expelled, trying to do the right thing, was punished for that,” she said to the board. “Every student has every opportunity; I was deprived of all of my opportunities.”The members of the board did not directly give a response to the family’s request. WSMV4 has reached out to the district, and the district said it was unable to comment due to student privacy laws. Below is a look at the district’s expulsion and appeals policy:Process for Expulsions and AppealsA suspension of more than 10 days.There are three levels of appeals:Level 1 is to the Hearing AuthorityLevel 2 is to the executive director of Student Support Services/designee Level 3 is to the MNPS Board of Public Education.Upon making a decision to expel a student, the principal/ assistant principal or dean will immediately give written or actual notice to the parent/guardian and the student of the right to appeal the decision to expel (suspend for more than 10 days). The decision from the Level 1 or Level 2 appeals may affirm the decision of the principal, order removal of the suspension unconditionally or upon such terms and conditions as it deems reasonable, assign the student to an alternative program or suspend/expel the student for a specified period of time. Expulsions for Zero Tolerance (ZT ) offenses may only be modified by the director of schools on a case-by-case basis.All appeals of disciplinary decisions associated with expulsion (suspension of more than 10 days) must be filed, orally or in writing, within five days of written or actual notice of the decision to expel. If the appeal is not filed within five days, the right to appeal is waived. Notice of the parent or guardian’s intent to have legal representation must be given to the Discipline Office at the time the appeal is requested, to allow for the district to also have legal representation. Each appeal hearing is recorded.LEVEL 1 - Appeal to the Discipline Hearing AuthorityThe appeal from this decision will be to a disciplinary hearing authority and the director of discipline appointed by the Board of Education. The hearing will be held no later than 10 days after the beginning of the expulsion (suspension of more than 10 days). The disciplinary hearing authority will give written notice to the time and place of the hearing to the person requesting the appeal and the principal or principal designee who ordered the expulsion. During deliberations, all parties will be excused, excluding the hearing authority and the director of discipline. Failure to attend this appeal may constitute a waiver of the student’s/parent’s right to appeal. Extenuating circumstances will be considered by the discipline director.A written record of the proceedings, including a summary of the facts and the reasons supporting the decision, will be made by the disciplinary hearing authority.LEVEL 2 - Appeal to the Executive Director of Student Support Services/DesigneeA Level 2 appeal may be requested based on the following reasons:Parent/student believes due process rights have been violated.New evidence will be presented that was not presented at the Level 1 appeal hearing.Within five (5) days of the decision of the Level 1 appeal, a request for a Level II appeal must be submitted in writing with the reason for the request and the evidence to support the request to the Discipline Office. Once received, the executive director of Student Support Services/designee will review the evidence provided and may grant or deny the request.The executive director of Student Support Services/designee will respond to the request with his/her decision within ten (10) school days - when feasible - from receipt of the request. The Executive Director of Student Support Services is not required to explain the decision. LEVEL 3 - Appeal to the MNPS Board of Public EducationThe Board of Education may grant or deny a request for a board hearing and may affirm or overturn the decision with or without a hearing before the board.MNPS","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/nashville-student-expelled-over-threatening-note-she-says-she-didnt-write-family-pushing-review/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caleb Wethington","publishDate":"2026-06-25T16:30:16.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FFTE6ITHP6JG6PDFOY4EAIOQVXE.png%3Fauth%3D552d51d6019f210b7e04c855fceaa40f989638f85f9db85c431ee2ac34c2984a%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-student-expelled-over-threatening-note-she-says-she-didnt-write-family-pushing-for-review"},{"id":"g1t2gn","title":"Day 2 of Blaise Taylor murder trial features emotional testimony, questions about investigation","excerpt":"Taylor has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from Benning's death and remains free on a $2.5 million bond.","content":"Taylor has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from Benning's death and remains free on a $2.5 million bond.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/day-2-blaise-taylor-murder-trial/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Lexi Wilson","publishDate":"2026-06-25T00:05:41.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FNOLAN-BLAISE-TAYLOR-WED-TNNASOF1ENC002_1.mxf_.09_36_39_22.Still001.png%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"day-2-of-blaise-taylor-murder-trial-features-emotional-testimony-questions-about-investigation"},{"id":"3y0z2b","title":"'I proved I didn't do anything wrong': Family still pushing for answers after teen's expulsion from Antioch High School","excerpt":"A former Antioch High School student spoke to the Metro Nashville Public Schools Board of Education Tuesday after she was expelled in January for what she described as doing the right thing.","content":"A former Antioch High School student spoke to the Metro Nashville Public Schools Board of Education Tuesday after she was expelled in January for what she described as doing the right thing.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/i-proved-i-didnt-do-anything-wrong-family-still-pushing-for-answers-after-teens-expulsion-from-antioch-high-school/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Alexia Tsiropoulos","publishDate":"2026-06-25T00:02:10.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2015%2F04%2Fantiochhighschool_38678333_ver1.0.jpg%3Fw%3D640","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"i-proved-i-didnt-do-anything-wrong-family-still-pushing-for-answers-after-teens-expulsion-from-antio"},{"id":"9od63m","title":"Kroger is expanding its rewards program for customers.

But now, the program is expanding to in-store savings.Kroger members can now start redeeming their Fuel Points, now just called Points, to save on groceries.Shoppers can redeem up to 1,000 Points per day to get $10 off their entire grocery bill, in-store or online, and using pickup and delivery.“We’re excited to help customers stretch their budgets and give more choices in how they use the rewards they earn shopping with us,” said Megan Shaffer, group vice president of customer growth and strategy at Kroger.How do I redeem my Points?You can redeem Points by opening your Kroger app, checking your Points balance and following the prompt from there.Once the Points are redeemed, they will automatically be applied at your next checkout.How much can I save?Customers can save $10 per day on groceries and up to $35 per fill-up on gas, but the maximum fuel discount may vary by location.Is there a limit to the amount of Points I can earn? Do they expire?There is no limit to how many Points you can earn, but it is important to know that they do expire.The more you shop, the more Points you earn. Depending on when you buy groceries, those Points will expire at the end of the following month.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/kroger-is-expanding-its-rewards-program-customers-heres-what-you-should-know/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Mary LeBus, Gray News staff, Amanda  Alvarado","publishDate":"2026-06-25T16:25:41.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FEBSRSTBY6JEDVH2OC5P6WYOZCE.jpg%3Fauth%3D2f89a3beb363b399474898acebbbfcae1f1eea78b0c196b5323cf26b634c58d2%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"kroger-is-expanding-its-rewards-program-for-customers-heres-what-you-should-know"},{"id":"vs7kpa","title":"PHOTOS: Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop now open","excerpt":"Dolly Parton's newest Tennessee venture officially opened to the public on Wednesday afternoon, and it's more than just a quick stop for gas.","content":"Dolly Parton's newest Tennessee venture officially opened to the public on Wednesday afternoon, and it's more than just a quick stop for gas.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/dollys-tennessean-travel-stop-grand-opening-wednesday/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Aubriella Jackson","publishDate":"2026-06-24T13:36:50.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FScreenshot-2026-06-24-072138.png%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"photos-dollys-tennessean-travel-stop-now-open"},{"id":"fi7dmt","title":"Ryman, Opry ownership confirms it is exploring potential partners, but asserts no agreements in place","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Two of Nashville’s most iconic fixtures remain under their own control - for now.The leadership at Ryman Hospitality Properties (RHP), which owns a majority stake in the Opry Entertainment Group (OEG), confirmed this week that the growing global popularity of country music has led several outside entities to inquire about investing in the genre’s many venues.Additionally, the Ryman leadership is entertaining these offers and believes it is imperative to ensure a “long-term growth trajectory, and...support its growth.”Ryman Hospitality Properties is responding to reports about a possible sale of the Opry Entertainment Group business.“With the rise in global popularity of country music and the increasing demand for live experiences, we have received inbound interest from a range of organizations seeking to partner with our entertainment business,” explained Colin Reed, Executive Chairman of RHP. “In that context, we have engaged Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC to assist in evaluating potential opportunities. We expect to play an integral role in the continued growth of OEG irrespective of any strategic partnerships being considered.”The group asserts that as of June 24, no partnership agreements are in place, nor are there any “assurances that any transaction will occur.”The RHP controls the OEG, which includes entities that control a collection of iconic and emerging country music brands, including the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, WSM 650 AM, Ole Red, Category 10 and various other Nashville-area attractions.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/ryman-opry-ownership-confirms-it-is-exploring-potential-partners-asserts-no-agreements-place/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Tony Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-25T16:21:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FZ6D7HKWZSZFZPEO7QK7CAXSBHU.jpg%3Fauth%3D8dc3a2b6c25e11a317706ce49998bcdc306e668b4476b4a30daf508cb23e2113%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ryman-opry-ownership-confirms-it-is-exploring-potential-partners-but-asserts-no-agreements-in-place"},{"id":"8a8w4a","title":"Mom arrested for tampering with evidence after 14-year-old accused of shooting teen in the head, police say","excerpt":"ALLIANCE, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) - The mother of a 14-year-old boy accused of shooting a 15-year-old girl in the head is charged with tampering with evidence.Erin Barker, 47, is charged with tampering with evidence.

We’re going to tell you how great and how amazing you are because you have to hear it in order to begin to believe it,” she said. The organization began in 2005 as a safe haven for children who were indirectly involved in the child welfare system, Mazych said. Since then, the nonprofit has grown and now offers an after-school program that provides stability, meals and mentoring to hundreds of children. The program’s approach includes writing and reading affirmations. Children shared statements about themselves, including: “I love myself because I’m nice and cool,” “I’m good at football,” “I like doing math,” and “I’m brave and will do anything, even if it’s hard.” How storytelling fits into the program A professional storyteller known as Auntie Oye said storytelling is important. “It is important because it’s about you. It’s about your vulnerability, it’s about the inner you that most people don’t know and can’t see,” she said. Auntie Oye said writing affirmations and reading them helps children internalize what they are saying about themselves. Oye said she wants the children to be confident. Self-esteem can help children avoid negative influences, she said. Mazych said the goal is for children to learn a strong sense of self. “They get to learn that their voice matters,” she said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/after-school-program-teaches-children-love-respect-themselves/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Debra  Alfarone, LeAnne Gendreau","publishDate":"2026-06-25T14:30:25.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FQA5QH4DI4ZA3LK4NH2K665SCFM.png%3Fauth%3D1bbea1f4a09c0542d6bfcb484a3fdc327c4147b7654f2161f99926d6f1553647%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"after-school-program-teaches-children-to-love-and-respect-themselves"},{"id":"y553z1","title":"Brentwood's Citizens Fire Academy offers a glimpse into what it takes to be a firefighter","excerpt":"From rappelling down buildings to putting out real fires, Brentwood Fire and Rescue’s Citizens Fire Academy offers a real glimpse into the job.","content":"From rappelling down buildings to putting out real fires, Brentwood Fire and Rescue’s Citizens Fire Academy offers a real glimpse into the job.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/on-tour-middle-tn/brentwood-citizens-fire-academy-community-glimpse/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Audrey Mayer","publishDate":"2026-06-25T10:00:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2Fn2otpkg.00_00_30_21.Still001.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"brentwoods-citizens-fire-academy-offers-a-glimpse-into-what-it-takes-to-be-a-firefighter"},{"id":"lagjpf","title":"Study reveals how genetics and environment shape disease risk","excerpt":"(Aging Untold) — People who think family history makes disease inevitable may still be able to reduce their risk, according to a Penn State study examining how genetics and environmental factors influence health.

The research looked at how genes and environmental factors — including air pollution, socioeconomic status and healthy living habits — affect a person’s chances of getting sick. Dr. Dajiang Liu, a Penn State College of Medicine professor, said people often overestimate the contribution of genes to disease risk and underestimate the role of the environment. The research team focused on air pollution, which is known to be a health risk, Liu said. Using artificial intelligence, researchers sifted through health records of 50 million adults to identify diseases people developed, then examined how much exposure participants had to two specific air pollutants: particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide. Liu said breathing particulate matter can increase the risk of asthma and COPD. He said increased levels of nitrogen dioxide can affect metabolism — how the body changes food into energy — and can influence risk for type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Air pollution can increase the risk of those health problems more than inherited genes, Liu said, calling it good news because people can make changes to how they live to decrease risk. Eating more fruits and vegetables and moving more are two steps people can take to improve health. Liu also recommended monitoring air pollution levels at AirNow.gov and entering a ZIP code to check local conditions.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/study-reveals-how-genetics-environment-shape-disease-risk/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Viv Williams","publishDate":"2026-06-25T14:19:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FJT54WJ5YAJFHTEUWBA34HJ2DRE.png%3Fauth%3Dc3681b61ee5caf73ac461aa6c489e48953640686d3460ecbfa20b48d080bcd56%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"study-reveals-how-genetics-and-environment-shape-disease-risk"},{"id":"a1w62v","title":"LIVE: Murder trial of former Titans scout Blaise Taylor enters Day 3","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The murder trial of former collegiate football player and Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor continues in a Davidson County courtroom on Thursday.During the first two days of the trial, the jury and Judge Steve Dozier heard opening arguments from both the prosecution and the defense attorneys, followed by key witness testimonies.Taylor is accused of poisoning his girlfriend, 25-year-old Jade Benning, on Feb. 25, 2023. She was pregnant at the time, and Taylor is alleged to have been the father.Taylor allegedly called 911 after the poisoning, saying that his girlfriend appeared to have had an allergic reaction. She was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center by ambulance.The fetus died days later, and Benning died on March 6, before police could interview her about what happened.Months later, Taylor was charged in their deaths and was arrested on March 26, 2024. During a hearing in April 2024, a medical examiner testified that excessive amounts of cocaine were found in Benning’s system, too much to infer recreational drug use.Taylor faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder.During Tuesday’s opening statements, prosecutors and the defense described Benning and Taylor’s relationship.On Wednesday, the court heard the 911 call and emotional testimony from Benning’s friend, who was the last person to hear from her before she was admitted to the hospital, “clinically dead.”The judge and jury are expected to hear more testimonies on Thursday.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/murder-trial-former-titans-scout-blaise-taylor-enters-day-3/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Tony Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-25T14:13:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FJBDGXRDWNRAC3CO5PEXNDMHVOU.jpg%3Fauth%3Dec154caed5a7d29d76b2ed4094bc9f58621ad261bb08df8622d97c3eae5fca87%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"live-murder-trial-of-former-titans-scout-blaise-taylor-enters-day-3"},{"id":"b8wcjs","title":"Americana Announces Instrumentalist of the Year Nominees","excerpt":"Org members to vote on players including Nashville’s Juan Solorzano, Joshua Blaylock and Ethan Jodziewicz","content":"Org members to vote on players including Nashville’s Juan Solorzano, Joshua Blaylock and Ethan Jodziewicz","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/music/nashvillecream/americana-instrumentalist-award-nominees-2026/article_43c8043d-ade1-481d-8889-65964b7f6427.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"Stephen Trageser","publishDate":"2026-06-23T20:57:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2F0%2F1b%2F01bb9df6-66d5-11ee-899d-cf6c62e19065%2F65244bf1cd102.image.jpg%3Fcrop%3D1521%252C855%252C52%252C238%26resize%3D300%252C169%26order%3Dcrop%252Cresize","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"americana-announces-instrumentalist-of-the-year-nominees"},{"id":"47prqx","title":"InvestigateTV+: Police use drones as first responder tool","excerpt":"(InvestigateTV) — A view from above gives first responders a new perspective on how to save lives.

Newer vehicles, including cars with driver-assist technology, may make driving easier for older adults, but they still require thoughtful decision-making, according to the Aging Untold experts. Self-driving technology, but with limits Amy O’Rourke said she started thinking about self-driving cars differently after an older man told her he saw them as one way to keep his independence. “I’m thinking about this guy that was in a self-driving car, and he said, ‘Well, this way my kids can’t take my keys from me,’” O’Rourke said. The story changed the way she thought about self-driving vehicles, especially because many crashes involve human error, she said. “I kind of found myself converted into how would that be? Self-driving cars have some validity for older adults,” O’Rourke said. Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said she could see the usefulness for short distances, but she was more cautious about relying on the technology on the open road. “Short distance, yeah. But not out on the open road, because you still have to have that human input in those vehicles,” Cradduck said. Too much technology could feel overwhelming Vehicle technology can help, but it can also be hard to learn — even for drivers who are not older adults, Cradduck said. She described lane-keeping technology as one example of a feature that may feel intrusive when a driver is trying to respond to something unexpected. “I hate it when my vehicle decides it wants to keep me in the lane, and I’m trying to move out of the way of the cat that I don’t want to hit, and it’s jerking me back,” Cradduck said. Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said there is a balance between making driving easier and keeping the driver mentally engaged. “You still don’t want to limit the interaction that you need to have, stimulation with your brain, so you want the ease, but you don’t want to eliminate,” Rogers said. Helpful features include visibility, alerts and easier access Several features that might be useful for older drivers, including blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, rear cameras, large windows and good visibility. “I turned everything on my car because I could use all the help I can get,” Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, said. “Lane assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise, everything. Turn on all the stuff.” The experts said rear cameras and warning alerts can be helpful as well. Age-friendly design is not just about technology. A vehicle that is easy to get into and out of can matter, too. “When I think about what’s user-friendly for an aged person, something that’s easy to get into and out of,” Cradduck said. Six key takeaways Look for safety features that support the driver, such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cameras and adaptive cruise control. Consider whether the technology feels helpful or overwhelming before choosing a vehicle. Self-driving features may be useful in some situations, but the experts emphasized that human input still matters. Visibility is important, including large windows and clear views around the vehicle. Think about physical access, including door size, seat height and how easy the car is to enter and exit. The experts said age-friendly driving should be integrated and based on what works for the individual.

(WSMV) - Jurors in the Blaise Taylor murder trial heard the 911 call Taylor made the night his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, was hospitalized, as testimony continued for the second day. In the call, Taylor told the dispatcher he did not know what to do and said Benning was not responding. Prosecutors said Taylor told the dispatcher he believed Benning was having an allergic reaction after they finished dinner during a date night at her home.Former TN Titans scout Blaise Taylor told 911 he thought his pregnant girlfriend was having \"an allergic reaction\" the night he allegedly poisoned her.A photo of Benning’s bed was shown to jurors, depicting where she was lying. During the call, Taylor was told to roll Benning onto her side because she was reported to be vomiting.A doctor from Vanderbilt University Medical Center testified that when Benning arrived at the hospital, she was clinically dead and placed on oxygen. The doctor said Benning’s unborn child had a very low heart rate. Prosecutors said Benning had an extremely high level of cocaine in her system and died of acute cocaine toxicity.During the trial, the defense said Benning’s parents were given the option to have a C-section to try to save the baby, but the family declined. The defense said Taylor was not included in that decision.Prosecutors say Benning died of acute cocaine toxicity as the defense challenges the investigation and handling of the scene.The doctor testified that a low heart rate in a fetus can indicate a low chance of viability.Benning remained on life support for a little over a week, and her family decided to take her off life support on March 6, her 25th birthday.A Metro Nashville Police officer testified as the defense continued to challenge how the investigation was handled, arguing the crime scene was compromised.The defense has argued that the night Benning was taken to the hospital, her friend went back into the apartment. Sgt. James Smith, who works with the domestic violence division, testified that he interviewed Taylor the night Benning was taken to the hospital. The interview was played in the courtroom. The prosecution focused on Taylor’s calm demeanor compared to Benning’s family and friend Nijaiha Jackson. While the defense focused on the investigation and evidence collection. Smith testified that he helped with orders to draw blood from Benning and assisted with getting a search warrant. The defense argued some evidence was not collected, including Benning’s vomit found on a comforter, and said a blood sample taken from Benning was turned in two days after she was hospitalized.Benning’s friend Nijaiha Jackson also took the stand. She stopped by Benning’s apartment during her date with Taylor. Jackson says about an hour after she left, she got a call from Benning, who she says wasn’t sounding like herself. “She immediately starts saying ‘What did you do? What did you put in my drink?’ Then I heard her say ‘Blaise, you’re scaring me.’ Blaise said ‘You’re scaring me,’” said Jackson.Nijaiha Jackson, Jade Benning's childhood best friend, recalls the final encounter they had just before Benning and her unborn child were allegedly poisoned.Jurors also heard testimony from family friends who said they went into Benning’s apartment after she was hospitalized.Lauren Weber, who worked with Benning at Earnest Bar Hideaway, testified that she spoke with Benning’s biological mother, Bridget Burks, the night Benning was rushed to the hospital. Weber said Burks asked her to go into Benning’s apartment to take photos, blow out a candle, lock the door and take Benning’s keys. Weber testified that when she went inside Benning’s apartment, she smelled cleaning products.Another family friend of Benning, Stephanie Franklin, testified that she went to Benning’s apartment the following day at the request of Benning’s mother. Franklin said she took items from the home, including the blanket Benning vomited on and captured videos and pictures of the apartment. When the prosecution asked Franklin, “Why did you take it upon yourself to essentially do police work?”Franklin’s response was, “Because Bridget was hurting and Bridget wanted answers. Bridget and I were both pissed. We were angry. It didn’t seem like anyone was doing anything.”Taylor was arrested a year later, in March 2024. He is facing two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/blaise-taylor-trial-hears-911-call-testimony-about-evidence-jade-bennings-apartment/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Amber Jayanth","publishDate":"2026-06-25T09:59:14.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FTAFAIEAFWBGAXJDRHSCV2V7XOI.jpg%3Fauth%3D5af642a09fb16dc282ad7e6542f030aa7c2eede9dfb63cd0e9897b69b9ee8c3a%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"blaise-taylor-trial-hears-911-call-testimony-about-evidence-from-jade-bennings-apartment"},{"id":"uj8mi1","title":"Firefighters rescue horse in distress from overheating trailer","excerpt":"STARKE, Fla.

Federal investigators said the pilot suffered a minor injury, but the passengers were not hurt.The NTSB is now working to recover the wreckage and examine the aircraft’s engine.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/dramatic-footage-shows-planes-emergency-landing/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Lars Hanson, Debra Worley","publishDate":"2026-06-25T06:51:52.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FLQOE2BGRT5COFM36JPNHGKC67M.jpg%3Fauth%3Dbcdcf19dba26fa547ed1117742352c98f168d35cc9747bdadc2b41f62da5a7c0%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dramatic-footage-shows-planes-emergency-landing"},{"id":"610y2y","title":"More than a game: ‘Game and Glory’ dives into the soul of soccer’s world stage","excerpt":"(Gray Media) - For billions of fans, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is more than a tournament, it’s personal.“Game and Glory” traveled to the world’s most soccer-obsessed nations to explore what drives that devotion: the rituals passed down through families, the rivalries that divide cities, and the raw...","content":"(Gray Media) - For billions of fans, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is more than a tournament, it’s personal.“Game and Glory” traveled to the world’s most soccer-obsessed nations to explore what drives that devotion: the rituals passed down through families, the rivalries that divide cities, and the raw emotion that unites a planet around a single game.This docuseries explores soccer culture beyond the pitch—where identity, history and pride collide.“Game and Glory” gives fans a passport to the soccer-crazed nations that will bring their energy, pride and passion to North America’s biggest cities.Rivals, Religion and Redemption: Argentina and EnglandThese are two of the most storied and emotionally charged soccer nations on Earth.

(WSMV) - As temperatures climb over the next several days, one of the most dangerous places can be a parked vehicle.Many people underestimate how quickly a car’s interior can heat up, even on a mild day. What may feel like a quick stop can become life-threatening for children and pets left behind.How hot can a car get?On a 90-degree day, the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rise to nearly 110 degrees in 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, it can exceed 125 degrees.Cracking the windows offers little protection. Studies have shown that opening windows slightly does not significantly slow the heating process.The dashboard, steering wheel, seats and other surfaces can become hotter than the surrounding air, creating hazardous conditions in a short amount of time.Why children are especially vulnerableChildren’s bodies heat up faster than adults’ bodies. Their temperature can rise three to five times more quickly, making them particularly vulnerable to heat-related illness.When a child’s body can no longer cool itself effectively, heat exhaustion can progress to heat stroke. Symptoms can include flushed skin, a rapid pulse, dizziness, confusion and loss of consciousness.Heat stroke is a medical emergency and can cause permanent injury or death.The story notes that dozens of children die each year in the United States from vehicular heatstroke, including cases in which a child was unintentionally left in a vehicle. It also states there has been one such death in Tennessee this year.Pets face similar dangersPets are also at risk in hot vehicles.Dogs primarily cool themselves by panting. When temperatures rise quickly inside a vehicle, pets can develop heat stress, heat exhaustion or heat stroke in minutes. Warning signs can include excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, trouble standing and collapse.Many cases happen because someone thinks they will be away for only a short time.Unexpected delays can add minutes while temperatures inside a vehicle continue to rise. The safest option is to never leave a child or pet unattended in a parked vehicle, even with the windows cracked or the air conditioner running.Tips to prevent a tragedyFor parents and caregiversCheck the back seat before locking your vehiclePut a purse, briefcase, phone or another essential item in the back seat as a reminderKeep vehicles locked when parked so children cannot climb insideAsk child care providers to call if a child does not arrive as expectedFor pet ownersLeave pets at home when running errands during hot weatherBring pets inside with you when possibleMake sure pets have shade and fresh water when outdoorsWhat To Do If You See a Child or Pet Left in a Hot CarIf you see a child or pet alone in a parked vehicle, don’t assume someone will be back in a moment. Check on their condition immediately. If they appear distressed, unresponsive, confused, or are showing signs of heat illness, call 911 right away. Emergency responders would rather arrive and find everything is okay than arrive too late.If the situation appears life-threatening, follow the instructions of emergency dispatchers and be aware of local laws regarding the rescue of children or animals from vehicles.

(WSMV) - More than half a million people have signed an online petition opposing plans to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo, and now, Metro Council members are in a race to pass new regulations that could stop the project.Atlanta-based data center company DC Blox has already submitted permits for the planned development, which would include two data center buildings in an office park against the zoo property.But the permits are in legal limbo due to missing information and a zoning appeal from the Nashville Zoo, and if Metro Council can pass new regulations before the permits are sorted out, the data center project by the zoo would likely be stopped.Metro Council is currently considering two options: A comprehensive zoning bill and a temporary moratorium.Zoning legislationCouncil Member Rollin Horton is sponsoring a comprehensive zoning bill that would put serious restrictions on where data centers can be built and how they can operate in Davidson County.The bill would ban data centers larger than 500,000 square feet in Davidson County, and any proposals smaller than that would face a rigorous approval process.New data center proposals would need a special exemption from the Board of Zoning Appeals and would need to go through a public hearing before approval.The bill would also limit large data centers to areas already zoned for heavy industrial use. They wouldn’t be allowed within half a mile from schools, homes, parks and other designated areas.The legislation also bans the use of on-site power generations like gas turbines that are the source of many concerns surrounding air pollution and noise. Data centers would be allowed to use renewable energy sources like solar power on-site.It would also require facilities to use a closed-loop water cooling system to limit water pollution.MoratoriumCouncil Member Courtney Johnston is sponsoring a moratorium on all data center construction in Davidson County which would stop the facilities from being built until further regulations, like those outlined in Horton’s bill, are passed.Several other municipalities across Tennessee and the country have passed moratoriums, although many legal experts say they could be subject to court challenges.Plus, the moratorium bill in Nashville is expected to go before Metro Council at the same time as Horton’s regulations, so if they both pass, the moratorium would essentially be moot.Both bills will go before Metro Planning Commission Thursday night. If they pass there, they will head to the full Metro Council for a public hearing on July 7.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/how-metro-council-could-stop-proposed-data-center-near-nashville-zoo/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Braden Ross","publishDate":"2026-06-25T03:02:00.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FHVOF62OM75BLVBNHPXFWVT7FNM.png%3Fauth%3Dfadd3e1447f391894470305528268f399cde4c4df073f28a54b39d5d6cc67e6c%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"how-metro-council-could-stop-a-proposed-data-center-near-the-nashville-zoo"},{"id":"rxatus","title":"Two Vols, one Commodore selected in 2nd round of NBA Draft","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The Greenville native and former Tennessee Vol was selected with the 42nd pick in the draft by the San Antonio Spurs. Minutes later, Gillespie’s Tennessee teammate, Felix Okpara, got the call at pick number 46 by the Orlando Magic. That pick was then traded to the Washington Wizards.And then the NBA champion New York Knicks used the 47th selection to take Vanderbilt guard Tyler Nickel.Nickel became the 43rd Vanderbilt men’s basketball player to hear his name called in the NBA Draft, going to New York Knicks with the 47th overall pick in the second round of the 2026 draft in Brooklyn. Nickel is the first Commodore to be drafted since 2020 when Aaron Nesmith and Saben Lee were selected in the first and second round, respectively. “I am so happy for Tyler,” Vanderbilt head coach Mark Byington said. “He has earned this opportunity and I am confident this is just a start. I really feel that he can be impactful in the NBA, and I know the Knicks are getting an unbelievable person, unbelievable competitor and somebody who really wants to win.”In two seasons with the Dores, Nickel etched his name alongside the best shooters in program history with a .402 three-point shooting percentage. His 110 threes in 2025-26 marked the third most in a single season at Vanderbilt, trailing only Shan Foster and John Jenkins who co-hold the record with 134 made triples. Meanwhile, Okpara is the 60th player selected out of Tennessee and is the first of that group chosen by the Orlando Magic. The Washington Wizards, meanwhile, took Doug Roth at No. 41 in 1989.The 6-foot-11, 243-pounder finished second at Tennessee in blocks average, fourth in offensive rebounding average (2.51). The fourth Volunteer with two 50-block seasons, he finished with the most blocks (116) and offensive rebounds (183) by a two-year player in program history.Gillespie averaged 18.4 points, 5.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game, leading the team in each of those categories, while adding 2.8 rebounds per outing. He shot 81.0 percent at the free-throw line, too.The 6-foot-1, 188-pounder racked up 79 steals to break the program’s single-season record that stood for 32 years.

(WSMV) - On Feb. 25, 2023, Nijaiha Jackson went to her pregnant best friend’s home to hang out, eat some food and talk about plans for the nursery. After she left, she received a harrowing phone call that ended up being the lifelong friends’ last-ever conversation. Her best friend, Jade Benning, was almost 25 years old and nearly 24 weeks pregnant with a baby girl whom she had planned to name Ivy. Today, the father of her child, former Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor, is on trial for both her and the unborn child’s murder. On Wednesday, the second day of Taylor’s murder trial, Jackson recalled how she had known Benning since she was 6 years old. They grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas. When Benning found out she was pregnant, Jackson said that Benning was “very upset, very disappointed,” by Taylor’s response to the news. Regardless, she “had a positive outlook.” Jackson promised to help her throughout her motherhood journey, going to doctor appointments, helping her plan baby showers and at one point, even discussing living together. The night of the alleged poisoning, Jackson and another mutual friend went to Benning’s two-bedroom apartment. Taylor was there when they arrived, marking the first time Jackson said she had met him. They were planning to eat a quick bite of food and hang out for a little bit. Jackson and her friend were only there between 15 to 30 minutes, and said nothing seemed “too alarming” — except for one thing. While the group was discussing Benning’s plans for painting something for the baby’s room, Jackson said Taylor took on “a very dark demeanor.” “He told me he was going to paint a black hole,” she recalled, adding that he told her, “’I’m going to call it midnight — the further you look, the deeper you go.’\" She found the comment odd, but left a short time later. Nijaiha Jackson, Jade Benning's childhood best friend, recalls the final encounter they had just before Benning and her unborn child were allegedly poisoned.A harrowing and heartbreaking final callJackson and their friend went back to his place to hang out for a little while after leaving Benning’s. She and Benning continued to text for a while, during which time she said Benning “seemed really happy, very excited to spend the rest of her night with Blaise.” When Jackson was on her way home later that evening, she stopped at a gas station. As she was finishing up filling up her car, she got a call from Benning. “She immediately starts saying, ‘What did you do? What did you put in my drink?’ Then I heard her say, ‘Blaise, you’re scaring me,’” Jackson testified. “He said, ‘You’re scaring me.’ And she was like, ‘I know you put something in my drink. ... I knew my drink tasted funny.’” At one point, Benning was heard asking Taylor to “empty his pockets.” Jackson was asking Benning to talk to her, but she wouldn’t answer. She even texted her friend to see if the stuff she was screaming was directed at her. Still, no response. “She was like, ‘I know you put something in my drink because I can’t even walk straight.’ She was just saying that she couldn’t feel her legs.” The last thing Jackson said she heard her friend say: “You did this so something would happen to the baby.” After that, her words became slurred and nonsensical, Jackson said. Throughout the roughly 6-minute call, Jackson said Taylor barely spoke, only saying he “didn’t have anything” and claiming that Benning was the one scaring him. When the call was cut, Jackson tried to call back only for Taylor to be the one to answer. She kept asking him to FaceTime her so she could see Benning and asked him to tell her what was going on. All he said was, “I don’t know, I don’t know,” asked her if Benning had an EpiPen, and eventually, told her he had to go so he could call 911. Former TN Titans scout Blaise Taylor told 911 he thought his pregnant girlfriend was having \"an allergic reaction\" the night he allegedly poisoned her.The 911 call and ambulance ride Taylor did call 911, the audio of which was played during the trial. In that call, he can be heard telling the operator that he believed Benning was having an allergic reaction. However, when the operator asked him if she was having any of the typical signs of a severe reaction — rash, hives, redness or swelling — he said she did not. When Jackson arrived at the apartment, she said the ambulance was already outside with her friend inside one of the trucks. She said she remembers seeing her friend’s head “to the side” and seeing medical responders doing CPR. “She’s just really pale,” Jackson remembered. “She still has on the pajamas she was wearing when I left. And Blaise was going back and forth, back and forth.” Medical responders told her to go to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. A doctor testified Wednesday that Benning arrived at the hospital already clinically dead. She was placed on oxygen and her unborn child had a low heart rate. Doctors determined she had an extremely high level of cocaine in her system and died of acute cocaine toxicity. Her baby died just two days after the incident. Benning, who had been placed on life support, died days after that — on her 25th birthday.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/woman-recalls-final-heartbreaking-phone-call-night-jade-benning-her-unborn-child-were-allegedly-poisoned/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-25T01:54:09.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F2U6B3V4D4BCFBOOMGDAUQOKSGI.jpg%3Fauth%3D9c479af1233a1495f292cb3e94d3ddd0a51dd8dac23d94bdaf6598ece4e503c9%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"woman-recalls-the-final-heartbreaking-phone-call-on-the-night-jade-benning-and-her-unborn-child-were"},{"id":"mf4ycy","title":"Nashville banker accused of stealing over $139K from customers","excerpt":"Police said Richardson's arrest was the result of a four-month investigation into embezzlement allegations made against him.","content":"Police said Richardson's arrest was the result of a four-month investigation into embezzlement allegations made against him.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/nashville-banker-accused-of-stealing-over-139k-from-customers/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Pat O'Donnell","publishDate":"2026-06-24T04:35:31.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F02%2FScreenshot-2026-02-08-083258.png%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-banker-accused-of-stealing-over-139k-from-customers"},{"id":"t8xpwd","title":"Clarksville Police ask public for help identifying person of interest in shooting","excerpt":"The Clarksville Police Department is investigating a shooting and is seeking the public's help in identifying a person connected.","content":"The Clarksville Police Department is investigating a shooting and is seeking the public's help in identifying a person connected.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/clarksville-police-ask-public-for-help-identifying-person-of-interest-in-shooting","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T16:41:34.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F296%2F986%2F0x110%2F90%2F69d162d6-d82c-4e64-9a3c-58ead448aacc-a7fe9addf8f34bae87d91aec3f4f56a6.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"clarksville-police-ask-public-for-help-identifying-person-of-interest-in-shooting"},{"id":"r7ibgb","title":"Lionel Messi celebrates his 39th birthday with Argentina teammates during a joyful World Cup","excerpt":"MEXICO CITY (AP) — Lionel Messi celebrated his 39th birthday on Wednesday during a World Cup that, at least for now, has brought him nothing but joy: Defending champion Argentina has already qualified for the knockout stage, and its captain has become the tournament’s career scoring leader.Messi ...","content":"MEXICO CITY (AP) — Lionel Messi celebrated his 39th birthday on Wednesday during a World Cup that, at least for now, has brought him nothing but joy: Defending champion Argentina has already qualified for the knockout stage, and its captain has become the tournament’s career scoring leader.Messi marked the occasion alongside his teammates at Argentina’s training base in Kansas City, Missouri. This is his sixth World Cup and the fifth time he’s had a birthday during the tournament. The exception was the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which was played in November and December.Messi has scored all of Argentina’s goals so far: three in its opening win over Algeria and two more in its victory over Austria. He has 18 for his World Cup career, two better than Miroslav Klose and Kylian Mbappé.On social media, Messi shared a photo of himself with a cake, alongside some of his teammates. The cake was from Pan Caliente, a Kansas City bakery owned by an Argentine pastry chef.In another picture, Argentina players posed alongside Messi, all wearing T-shirts featuring a personal photo of themselves with the captain.“To the man who changed our lives, gave us unforgettable moments, and made us believe that dreams are possible... The best part wasn’t just seeing it — it was living it with you! Happy birthday, Captain; we love you. May you be immensely happy,” the T-shirts read, according to a social media post by forward Julián Álvarez.FIFA, his club Inter Miami and his former club Barcelona were among those sending birthday wishes to Messi.In his hometown of Rosario, around 5,000 kids from local schools sang “Happy Birthday,” and a few even brought cakes.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/hub/fifa-world-cup","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/25/lionel-messi-celebrates-his-39th-birthday-with-argentina-teammates-during-joyful-world-cup/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"DÉBORA REY","publishDate":"2026-06-25T01:49:41.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FLBZGBBSI2JGHLN4J6YVBC5LWC4.jpg%3Fauth%3Dacf5fe5f290b12751741dfed234c99c5b4d12cdd3e2d79541d42754b2ad99ac5%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"lionel-messi-celebrates-his-39th-birthday-with-argentina-teammates-during-a-joyful-world-cup"},{"id":"9uvb8q","title":"Man wanted in Lebanon domestic assault arrested by U.S. Marshals in Nashville","excerpt":"LEBANON, Tenn.

Robert Aderholt (R-AL), who co-sponsored the legislation, said the time capsule is an opportunity to document historic milestones through contributions from every state and territory.“250 years from now... Americans will get a glimpse into what we were, what we were valuing, and where we were as a country,” he said.The law dictates that the capsule be buried in the Capitol Hill Visitor Center before the semiquincentennial.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said the capsule includes meaningful items that represent the country.“From the Statue of Liberty to the Golden Gate Bridge, the Great Lakes to the Rio Grande Valley, and all points in between, the American people will have their stories told through a collection of meaningful items that represent the fullness and richness of our great country,” said Jeffries.Lawmakers also said the capsule is meant to send a message to the future about how Americans want to be remembered.“In many ways, the Congressional Time capsule is a reflection of our faith in the future of this grand experiment and self-governance,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). “Faith that this moment is worth preserving, and faith that the great American story will endure for another 250 years.”The capsule is set to remain sealed in the Capitol until July 4, 2276.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/dc-lawmakers-unveil-semiquincentennial-time-capsule/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Stetson Miller","publishDate":"2026-06-24T23:54:43.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FG5F7WXEN4ZAP3P77NJVEWXMXQA.jpg%3Fauth%3Deb8d56862eb368dc1a4b95cfe85dd07f7b9d08fbfe5aee743fff57e6373f4683%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dc-lawmakers-unveil-semiquincentennial-time-capsule"},{"id":"9t9yrs","title":"Oil prices steady as Iran deal holds","excerpt":"WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Thanks to the U.S.-Iran interim peace agreement, crude oil has once again continued to flow through the Strait of Hormuz.

And that has led to a further decline worldwide in oil prices.With the strait now reopened to all cargo ships, the price of crude fell roughly four percent on Wednesday to about $74 a barrel. That’s down approximately 40% from the wartime peak. Ahead of lunch with Senate Republicans and with Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) by his side President Donald Trump had this update, “The war is going very well. As you know, we’re winning by a lot. Iran is making very big concessions. We’ll see what happens. But it’s been very, very, very powerful. It’s going very, very well.”According to the President, those concessions include Iran accepting UN nuclear inspectors in the country. But Iran’s Foreign Ministry denies that. And the President told Gray Media’s White House correspondent Jon Decker yesterday those IAEA inspections will take place, “at the appropriate time,” adding that “there’s no rush.”In the meantime, gas prices are holding steady. According to AAA, the national average now stands at $3.93 a gallon. Gasoline prices have risen 32 percent since the war began.Later in the afternoon, President Trump met with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. He told reporters that the NATO alliance remains essential and that NATO countries agree with President Trump’s oft-repeated remark, that Iran should not build a nuclear weapon.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/oil-prices-steady-iran-deal-holds/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Jon Decker","publishDate":"2026-06-24T23:54:15.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FNO673S5AKFFP7AQX7GT4YV7PZ4.jpg%3Fauth%3D876800d75e35c55c368602faed703b24f1de9ce1b7b6995e360fe5f909c92782%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"oil-prices-steady-as-iran-deal-holds"},{"id":"93o0rl","title":"Witnesses testify in trial of ex-Titans scout accused of killing pregnant girlfriend","excerpt":"Day one of the murder trial for a former Tennessee Titans scout is underway in a Nashville court Tuesday after a jury was selected Monday.","content":"Day one of the murder trial for a former Tennessee Titans scout is underway in a Nashville court Tuesday after a jury was selected Monday.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/murder-trial-ex-titans-scout-blaise-taylor-accused-of-killing-pregnant-girlfriend-nashville-tennessee-arrest-utah-jade-benning-witnesses-opening-arguments-court-davidson-county","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T16:39:29.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F941%2F986%2F0x1%2F90%2F77a9d91d-228f-49e1-bd80-70f144f22018-BlaiseTaylorintrialinNashvilleTenn.courtWZTV.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"witnesses-testify-in-trial-of-ex-titans-scout-accused-of-killing-pregnant-girlfriend"},{"id":"3krzc1","title":"Thieves steal more than 40 brass vases from grave markers at Joelton cemetery","excerpt":"For many families, a visit to the cemetery is more than tradition  it's a way to feel close to loved ones who are gone.But dozens of families in Joelton are now facing a painful new wound.Thieves disturbed Joelton Hills Memory Gardens, stripping more than 40 brass vases from grave markers in what...","content":"For many families, a visit to the cemetery is more than tradition  it's a way to feel close to loved ones who are gone.But dozens of families in Joelton are now facing a painful new wound.Thieves disturbed Joelton Hills Memory Gardens, stripping more than 40 brass vases from grave markers in what police and community members are calling an unprecedented act at the cemetery.Police say the theft occurred sometime between the evening of June 16 and the morning of June 17, leaving only flowers behind.Mary Gregory discovered the bronze vase from her son's grave marker was gone during her latest visit, which she made with her grandson.\"He was loving, he was funny, he always smiled,\" Gregory said.Gregory suspects the vases may be pawned for scrap metal. She visited a nearby scrapyard and asked if they accepted bronze. A worker confirmed they did, quoting about $1.50 per pound  without knowing why she was asking.\"They pull out the flowers, steal the vase, and put the flowers back,\" she said.Replacing the stolen vases could cost families anywhere from $70 to $700 each. Joelton Hills told Gregory that homeowners insurance might help cover the expense, but no policy can replace the emotional significance.\"To steal from the deceased  it don't get any lower than that,\" Gregory said.For Wanda Boyte, whose family has rested in Joelton Hills for generations, the theft stripped away a space meant for peace.\"All these that are low are the ones missing,\" Boyte said. \"You can't see the vases at all  on everything else you can.\"Gregory also raised concerns about cemetery security.\"If we had a locked gate at night,\" Gregory said, \"in my opinion, we wouldn't be here today.\"In a statement, Joelton Hills Memory Gardens addressed the incident.\"This is the first incident of its kind at Joelton, and we are deeply upset by this despicable conduct. While Joelton is not responsible for the criminal acts of others, it is reviewing internal measures for its premises and remains committed to serving families professionally and respectfully,\" the statement said.Cemetery officials say they have promptly informed affected families and are cooperating with Metro Police.Metro Police's North Precinct says it will add extra patrols in the area to protect the cemetery.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.

Many more just want simple guidelines for these facilities and for their questions to be answered.During a record-long planning commission in mid-June, hundreds spoke out, and leaders considered legislation restricting how and where data centers can be built.Wednesday evening, people are clear: they want research, rules, and reinforced parameters around data center builds.\"You know, I think just stricter guidelines,\" said event attendee Claire Baldwin.\"We don't have legislation that controls where they go, and that's not because we're behind, that's because what's being built is new,\" said the event's organizer, Drew Small.\"I want the people making the decision, meaning the mayor and the council, to be informed to do what they think is best,\" added Kevin Warner, another attendee.At least six council members, and a state representative, came to the meeting to listen to community concerns and ideas.\"We should be listening,\" said Metro council member at-large Zulfat Suara. \"I'm hoping that we leave here with, what do we need to do, how can we do it, what is in our power to do?\"Many of the worries being discussed at the meeting centered around air and noise pollution, water and electricity usage, and health risks.\"Data centers really feel like the final straw for a lot of people  where it's like no, I want to live here, I want to raise my kids here, I want to breathe the air, I want to drink the water, I want my lights to turn on when I flip the switch. So it's a massive turning point of like, why not here? Why not now?\" said Small.Via email, the company set to build the data center, DC Blox, addressed some questions and concerns brought up Wednesday night.In response to electricity usage, a spokeperson said the company will \"commit to paying for all power infrastructure needed to power our site and pay for usage at regulated rates as we do in other states.\"In response to water usage, he stated the company will \"use either a waterless air-cooled system or a closed-loop cooling systems that continues to recirculate water within the data center without the need to continuously pull from utility water.\"Lastly, when it comes to health risks, the company said they have operated data centers since 2017 with \"no issues with local neighbors, nearby schools, nor regulating organizations regarding health or environmental issues. We utilize the latest technology and conform to the industrys most rigorous operating standards to ensure our facilities operate safely and sustainably. And we can use technology options or design modifications to conform to specific community needs.\"The Nashville Metro council is set to consider the proposed legislation on data centers July 7.

Trump is expected to sign itThe SAVE AMERICA ACT, which Trump pushed for Wednesday, has caused tensions to boil over in recent weeks on Capitol Hill, though the bill has come up short in the Senate several times.President Trump has said he wants the Senate to abolish the 60-vote-filibuster which most legislation needs to pass to get it done.But a significant number of Senate Republicans  led by Majority Leader John Thune  have said they don't have support to get rid of the filibuster.So the presidents agenda on Capitol Hill appeared stalled yet again, with just months to go before the midterm elections.And it's still not clear when or if President Trump will sign the housing affordability bill.The bill aims to make home buying more affordable by cutting red tape and limiting the number of single family homes that private investment firms can purchase.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/politics/the-president/trump-cancels-plan-to-sign-bipartisan-housing-bill-reportedly-leads-to-shouting-match","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"Nathaniel Reed","publishDate":"2026-06-25T01:37:29.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Fb1102d7%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F6000x3150%2B0%2B425%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F5d%252Fe9%252F945cafd54e6caf36bd7de26563e0%252Fap26175575027987.jpg","slug":"trump-cancels-plan-to-sign-bipartisan-housing-bill-reportedly-leads-to-shouting-match"},{"id":"418wh","title":"Sumner Health Fest in Gallatin connects people with local services and resources","excerpt":"The Sumner Health Fest at the Gallatin Civic Center is helping Sumner County residents discover health resources and services that may be closer than they realize.Jenny Biggs with the Sumner County Health Committee used the event to share recipes and educate attendees about services on display wi...","content":"The Sumner Health Fest at the Gallatin Civic Center is helping Sumner County residents discover health resources and services that may be closer than they realize.Jenny Biggs with the Sumner County Health Committee used the event to share recipes and educate attendees about services on display with her UT Extension, but not always in plain sight.The fest also featured information on new dietary recommendations, food groups, proper serving sizes, and exercise guidance.Among those represented was Hope Family Health. Liz Farrell with the organization said visits can be affordable.\"We do not offer services for free. We do have a nominal fee, but the sliding fee scale is based on household income and... it's got like five different levels,\" Farrell said.That sliding scale is designed to keep patients from being turned away. Farrell said the bigger challenge is making sure people know what help is available and where to find it.Yvonne Malone attended the fest to find resources she might not have realized were nearby.\"Well, I love the health fairs. You get so much information from them that when you get up to my age, it's really good to come out and find out what's there for you. And it's cool in here too,\" Malone said.The goal of the event was not to create new services, but to make sure residents know the ones that already exist.Sumner Health Fest Resources: Sumner County Health Department  https://sumnercountytn.gov/departments/health-department/ [sumnercountytn.gov] Restore Life Behavioral Health  https://restorelifebh.com [restorelifebh.com] Greater Nashville Regional Council  https://gnrc.org [gnrc.org] Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands  https://las.org [las.org] Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency / Head Start  https://midcumberland.org [midcumberland.org] Mental Health Cooperative  https://mhc-tn.org [mhc-tn.org] Workforce Essentials  https://workforceessentials.com [workforceessentials.com] Sumner Prevention Coalition  https://sumnercoalition.org [sumnercoalition.org] Comfort Care Home Health  https://comfortcaretn.com [comfortcaretn.com] SMILE On 60+  https://www.gnrc.org/aging-and-disability/smile-on-60/ [gnrc.org] Highpoint Womens Health Center  https://www.highpointhealthsystem.com [highpointhealthsystem.com] Highpoint Health Vein Clinic  https://www.highpointhealthsystem.com [highpointhealthsystem.com] Mental Health America of the MidSouth  https://mhamidsouth.org [mhamidsouth.org] HomeSafe, Inc.  https://homesafeinc.org [homesafeinc.org] Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network  https://tspn.org [tspn.org] UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Tennessee  https://www.uhc.com/communityplan/tennessee [uhc.com] Wellpoint Tennessee  https://www.wellpoint.com/tn [wellpoint.com] CareNow Gallatin  https://www.carenow.com/locations/nashville/gallatin/ [carenow.com] Centerstone  https://centerstone.org [centerstone.org] Humana  https://www.humana.com [humana.com] UT Extension Sumner County  https://sumner.tennessee.edu [sumner.tennessee.edu] TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center  https://tristarhendersonville.com [tristarhendersonville.com] A Step Ahead Foundation of Middle Tennessee  https://www.astepaheadmiddletn.org [astepaheadmiddletn.org] Craft Body Scan  https://craftbodyscan.com [craftbodyscan.com] Gentiva Hospice  https://www.gentivahs.com [gentivahs.com] Imagination Library of Middle Tennessee  https://imaginationlibrary.com/usa/affiliate/TNMIDDLETENNESSEE/ [imaginationlibrary.com] Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services  https://www.cms.gov [cms.gov] Ascension Saint Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital  https://healthcare.ascension.org/locations/tennessee/tnnas/nashville-ascension-saint-thomas-behavioral-health-hospital [healthcare.ascension.org] Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee  https://secondharvestmidtn.org [secondharvestmidtn.org] Civia Health Goodlettsville  https://www.civiahealth.com [civiahealth.com] Sumner County Board of Education  https://www.sumnerschools.org [sumnerschools.org] Spine Stop Chiropractic  https://spinestop.com [spinestop.com] HOPE Family Health Services  https://hopefamilyhealth.org [hopefamilyhealth.org] The Wellness Way Hendersonville  https://www.thewellnessway.com/locations/hendersonville-tn/ [thewellnessway.com] CHARIS Health Center  https://charishealthcenter.org [charishealthcenter.org]Have you ever discovered a health resource in Sumner County community that surprised you?

The road is expected to reopen by August 7, according to the Nashville Department of Transportation.The closure prompted a viewer email from a South Nashville resident named Kevin, who wrote in asking about the project.\"Blue Hole Road in South Nashville has been closed since the 26th of last month. Can you find out what the project is and how long it will take to reopen? Thank you.\"I took those questions to Council Member Antoinette Lee, who explained the scope of the work.\"Besides a mess? Okay, so what they're doing is we have infrastructure that needs updating. This is a water project and they're replacing some old pipes that need to be updated,\" Lee said.Lee acknowledged the inconvenience of a full closure but said alternate routes are available.\"And I'm just sorry that the way it is is completely closed down. So if you come this way, you're going to have to go around another way. But there are lots of ways to go around to get through,\" Lee said.Lee said she hopes the project signals broader improvements for the area's infrastructure.\"Our area, the infrastructure is very bad. The roads are very bad. You can see there are a lot of cracks and things like that. So hopefully we're getting some updates and a good look,\" Lee said.Blue Hole Road is a back road in Antioch used by drivers looking to avoid congestion on Interstate 24. The road is shut down in both directions, meaning drivers will need to turn around and find an alternate route.Do you have more information about this story?

However, it did not yield an immediate cause of death for the 39-year-old.Officials did note that the examination of her body revealed no evidence of traumatic injury, including no bruising, lacerations, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, blunt force trauma, strangulation, or other external injuries.According to the coroner, continued evaluation is required, including histological studies, review of medical records and toxicology testing.Lexington authorities said Moore’s body was located near Old Cherokee Road and Northlake Drive after she was reported missing by her husband. One of the places she was last seen leaving was from a Lexington-area Planet Fitness the day prior. Moore was reportedly seen walking away from that Planet Fitness toward a wooded area behind Lowe’s Home Improvement. She was wearing an olive green zip-up hoodie with black athletic pants.A photo appearing to show Moore at Planet Fitness was later released by police.Lexington Police Chief Terrence Green said the clothing description of the missing 39-year-old matched that of what was found on the body, with Moore being positively identified by the coroner.Lexington investigator Missy Silcox said during the initial investigation that police did not suspect foul play in Moore’s disappearance.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/coroner-releases-preliminary-findings-personal-trainer-found-dead-after-leaving-planet-fitness/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"WIS News staff, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-24T23:19:41.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FECBHFGUM5VHR3G3PIKAMPURURY.png%3Fauth%3Dc4ff8f60358522402b35949cee8ac0d31a3dad316adc9bb1df03d774f87de93a%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"coroner-releases-preliminary-findings-of-personal-trainer-found-dead-after-leaving-planet-fitness"},{"id":"ejmjoq","title":"Banker faces 10 charges after Nashville police say he stole from elderly customers","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Metro Nashville Police said a banker is facing 10 criminal charges after two elderly women were left without roughly $70,000 each.Police identified the suspect as Karl Stephen Richardson. He is charged with two counts each of financial exploitation of an elderly adult, computer fraud, felony theft, identity theft and credit card fraud.Police said they began investigating Richardson in February while he was working at Bank of America on Harding Place near Belle Meade. Investigators said a Bank of America internal investigator filed a complaint after becoming suspicious of Richardson’s activity.That complaint led police to what they described as the first alleged victim, a now 75-year-old woman. Police said Richardson processed 19 counter withdrawals totaling more than $60,000 from her account between July and November of last year.Police said a tip from Adult Protective Services later led them to a second alleged victim, an 86-year-old woman. Court documents say Richardson developed a friendship with the woman while working at Bank of America and took nearly $71,000 from her between April 2022 and April 2026.Sarah Bridge reported Richardson allegedly obtained money through multiple methods, including ATM withdrawals, debit card use, Zelle transfers and in-person transactions. Police said when one of the victims came into the bank to withdraw cash, Richardson would pull out the money, give her less than she requested and keep the rest.James McClure, a Bank of America customer, said the allegations were “ridiculous” and “despicable,” adding that the money could be life savings for some people. McClure said he keeps a close eye on his accounts online, so he can see activity at any time.Police said Richardson parted ways with Bank of America at the end of last year and began working at Simmons Bank in Bellevue, where police said he was arrested Tuesday.Simmons Bank provided a statement saying it maintains a zero-tolerance policy for associate dishonesty and is cooperating with law enforcement.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/banker-faces-10-charges-after-nashville-police-say-he-stole-elderly-customers/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Sarah Allen","publishDate":"2026-06-24T23:16:30.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FNM4V6W6RAJHZDONR2QUUKFJXKI.png%3Fauth%3D49e2f79af58eead9713926aa0482dbb9ffcfcd4a313e7af3ca4b6c8d0eb1a3a4%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"banker-faces-10-charges-after-nashville-police-say-he-stole-from-elderly-customers"},{"id":"7wnh3i","title":"‘Miracle baby’: Middle Tennessee toddler recovering after being found ‘lifeless’ in family pool","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Two Midstate parents said they are counting their blessings after their 2-year-old son, Bennett, survived a drowning in Marshall County on Saturday, June 20.Bennett is being treated at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville. His father, Tristen Pierrot, called him “our miracle baby.”Pierrot said the family did not know if they would be able to hold Bennett again.He said Bennett wandered off during his sister’s birthday party and was found at the bottom of the family’s pool. He said Bennett was likely underwater for at least five minutes and was pulled out “lifeless.”Relatives performed CPR and were able to get a heartbeat before first responders arrived, Pierrot said. Bennett was taken to the hospital and spent multiple days on a ventilator.Pierrot said Bennett does not have any brain damage and is being treated for a minor lung infection. He said doctors told the family the outcome was the result of CPR being performed.Pierrot said the experience is motivating the family to spread awareness about safety and preparedness.“People don’t think it can happen, but something can change in just an instant and knowing what to do made the difference here,” he said.“We think it would be wonderful for every parent to take a CPR class and minimum to know what to do in situations like these,” he said. Pierrot also urged pool safety measures, including gated access.Bennett is expected to remain in doctors’ care for a few more days and could be released at some point, according to the loved ones.The Pierrot’s family have set up a GoFundMe to assist with medical expenses.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/miracle-baby-middle-tennessee-toddler-recovering-after-being-found-lifeless-family-pool/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Jordan James","publishDate":"2026-06-24T23:11:17.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F22K3XU4B7VH6RHAZACXG6ADDDY.png%3Fauth%3D0feccc38f2f2c4343424ec6eeb37c910b184b37146385f582a3d94bd11845922%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"miracle-baby-middle-tennessee-toddler-recovering-after-being-found-lifeless-in-family-pool"},{"id":"o4zcrj","title":"Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate hosts meet-and-greet in Brentwood","excerpt":"The Titans rookie spent time getting to know his fans at a Meet & Greet with Snickers.","content":"The Titans rookie spent time getting to know his fans at a Meet & Greet with Snickers.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/sports/tennessee-titans/titans-wide-receiver-carnell-tate-meet-and-greet-brentwood/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Kendall Lanier","publishDate":"2026-06-25T02:06:04.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FTATE-PIC.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"titans-wide-receiver-carnell-tate-hosts-meet-and-greet-in-brentwood"},{"id":"7gpvj9","title":"Woman taken to hospital after reported stabbing at Hermitage apartment complex","excerpt":"A woman was transported to the hospital early Tuesday morning following a reported stabbing at a Hermitage apartment complex.","content":"A woman was transported to the hospital early Tuesday morning following a reported stabbing at a Hermitage apartment complex.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/woman-taken-to-vanderbilt-after-reported-stabbing-at-hermitage-apartment-complex","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T16:13:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F984%2F986%2F1x0%2F90%2Fe8efcd5e-17f9-4e48-8fad-26872431481f-PoliceLights.jpg","slug":"woman-taken-to-hospital-after-reported-stabbing-at-hermitage-apartment-complex"},{"id":"t70011","title":"The June Strawberry Moon lights up the night sky this weekend: when to look up, forecast","excerpt":"Now that the summer solstice has passed, the first full moon of summer is coming to light up the night sky.","content":"Now that the summer solstice has passed, the first full moon of summer is coming to light up the night sky.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/the-june-strawberry-moon-is-this-week-when-to-look-up-and-peak-viewing-times","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T15:58:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia%2Fb21a2276-326e-4ab2-bb5a-35911d6bc4dd-large16x9_StrawberryMoon.jpg","slug":"the-june-strawberry-moon-lights-up-the-night-sky-this-weekend-when-to-look-up-forecast"},{"id":"k1xh5p","title":"Pekka Rinne elected to Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2026 after legendary career with Preds","excerpt":"Pekka Rinne’s legendary career just reached its ultimate honor as the Nashville Predators icon is headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame, cementing his place among h","content":"Pekka Rinne’s legendary career just reached its ultimate honor as the Nashville Predators icon is headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame, cementing his place among h","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/pekka-rinne-elected-to-hockey-hall-of-fame-class-of-2026-after-legendary-career-with-preds-nashville-predators-nhl-hockey-finland-goaltender-milwaukee-admirals","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T14:12:28.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F4094%2F986%2F0x163%2F90%2F7b49b70c-d3f8-447b-b0ed-2e665c0911c4-PekkaRinneHockeyHallofFame.jpg","slug":"pekka-rinne-elected-to-hockey-hall-of-fame-class-of-2026-after-legendary-career-with-preds"},{"id":"b4uljs","title":"Predators trade 2 former 1st round picks to Avalanche","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager Chris MacFarland announced Wednesday that the team has acquired forwards Jack Drury and Chase Bradley and Colorado’s third-round pick in the 2029 NHL Draft from the Avalanche in exchange for forwards Zachary L’Heureux and Fedor Svechkov.“Jack Drury is a hard-working, reliable, full-sheet of the ice center who can handle the tough assignments while being elite in the face-off circle,” MacFarland said. “His addition to our forward group bolsters our depth in the middle of the ice, and we’re thrilled to have him on our roster. We’re also excited to add Chase Bradley – another young forward who’s had some NHL experience – to our overall organizational depth at forward.”Drury, 26, matched his career high in points last season with 27 (10g-17a) after appearing in all 82 games for the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Avalanche. The 5-foot-11, 186-pound center scored a career-high 10 goals – all coming at even strength – and recorded seven multi-point games while averaging a career-best 14:29 of ice time. Drury also further established himself as one of the league’s best in the face-off circle, winning 58.1 percent of his draws, the fifth-highest percentage among players who took at least 900 faceoffs in 2025-26. In 13 playoff appearances, he tied for fourth on Colorado in goals (3) and added two assists, helping the Avalanche reach the Western Conference Final.Originally selected by Carolina in the second round (42nd overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft, Drury owns 82 points (30g-52a) in 268 career games with the Hurricanes and Avalanche. Drury – who earned a vote for the Selke Trophy this past season – was acquired by Colorado (with MacFarland as the team’s GM) as part of a trade with Carolina involving Mikko Rantanen and Martin Necas in January 2025. A native of New York, New York, Drury won the AHL’s Calder Cup with Chicago in 2021-22; won the Swedish Hockey League title with the Växjö Lakers in 2020-21; and earned silver with the United States at the 2019 World Junior Championship. His father, Ted Drury, played eight NHL seasons from 1993-01, and his uncle, Chris Drury, is the current president of hockey operations/general manager for the New York Rangers.Bradley, 24, completed his second full professional season with the AHL’s Colorado Eagles in 2025-26, recording 12 points (9g-3a) in 42 games. He went on to post 10 points (5g-5a) in 17 Calder Cup Playoff appearances for the Eagles, who made it to the Western Conference Final. Originally selected by Detroit in the seventh round (203rd overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound native of St. Louis, Missouri, made his NHL debut with the Avalanche on Nov. 27, 2024, against Vegas after concluding a three-season collegiate tenure at the University of Connecticut, where he was teammates with Predators forward Matthew Wood from 2022-24.The Predators now own eight selections in the 2029 NHL Draft – two in the third round and one in the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/predators-trade-2-former-1st-round-picks-avalanche/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chris Harris","publishDate":"2026-06-24T23:07:36.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FCKBIPMBXGJDRHIU7BCL4KVPTWQ.png%3Fauth%3D6d5efbefb011af6422149c69681afc96e5f149f5dc902e8b81d09c6c6025dbbd%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"predators-trade-2-former-1st-round-picks-to-avalanche"},{"id":"syzhnm","title":"Could NES restore power sooner in deadly January winter storm?

(WSMV) — Nashville Electric Service leaders could have restored power two to five days earlier after January’s deadly ice storm if they had moved faster to bring in outside help, according to a 130-page after-action report by an independent consulting group.The report said requests for additional linemen were “not made early or broadly enough,” and that the largest wave of outside crews did not arrive until eight days into the restoration effort. The review said the largest crews did not arrive until after the worst outages had already been repaired.NES President and CEO Teresa Broyles-Aplin called the winter storm “unique” and “really catastrophic” but said they would’ve handled it differently if they knew going into the storm how bad the damage would become. The consulting group presented 58 recommendations to the Electric Power Board, outlining what it said were major issues with storm response and restoration.Outside crews and storm contractsThe power board approved $10 million in new contracts with a wider group of companies that can assist after storms during its meeting on Wednesday. Broyles-Aplin said the approach is meant to help NES bring in help from a broader area. “We now have a better ability to tap into contractors from around the country that can bring people from outside the region where we are not competing for those resources,” she said.She said the report showed NES needed “broader contracting,” including “more organizations and that geographic diversity.”The report also said the power company’s systems and processes were not set up to handle large numbers of outside crews, creating challenges in assigning work and coordinating field operations.Planning and coordination issuesThe report said NES had an emergency response “framework,” but that roles, responsibilities and processes for a large event were not clearly defined or documented, and the command structure was not built to scale to a storm of this size.Instead of relying on a repeatable plan, the report said restoration depended heavily on ad-hoc decisions and long-time staff knowledge. The review said that slowed decision-making on priorities, resource deployment and outside assistance, and made it harder to integrate large numbers of arriving crews.The report also said emergency response plans and procedures were not built for a prolonged, large-scale storm and were not regularly exercised. The review said NES had not institutionalized routine major-event training or drills and was not fully prepared for weekend or holiday coverage for all command center roles.Vegetation and damage factorsThe report said vegetation was a major factor in the outages. It found that ice-covered limbs contributed to snapped lines and downed poles, and that damage was widespread across the system.The review said work was also slowed when debris and unsafe conditions limited access in some areas, and crews sometimes had to wait for tree crews to clear hazards before repairs could begin.The report also found NES was behind on tree trimming when the storm hit and said the utility cut back trimming even as the system kept growing.Broyles-Aplin said NES fell behind on tree trimming in 2025 after their crews were sent to East Tennessee and North Carolina to help with Hurricane Helene recovery efforts. When the ice storm hit, the power company was facing an 800-mile backlog on its tree trimming program, Broyles-Aplin said. They had operated on a four-year trimming cycle across the 4,600 miles of lines. NES is on track to catch up on the tree trimming backlog by the end of June, Broyles-Aplin said, with only 40 miles left to trim as of Wednesday. They will switch to a more frequent three-year trimming cycle next year, as recommended in the report. The trimming radius around wires has also been expanded from 10 ft. to 15 ft. to reduce the risk of outages during a storm. NES is also testing different methods to move powerlines underground in four Nashville neighborhoods. The pilot program and a system-wide undergrounding study was launched after an initial investigation report suggested it could prevent future outages. Customer information and communications problemsThe report said NES did not provide estimated times of restoration for about the first week of the storm response, and that broader estimates were developed and posted about a week into the effort.The review also said several outage-reporting and information channels failed during the storm, including the dedicated outage-reporting phone line, a text-messaging platform and the public outage map. It said some customers received notifications that power had been restored when they were still without electricity.Accountability and next stepsBroyles-Aplin said the utility has been focused on improvements since the storm. She created an initiative called the “Four Pillars,” focused on emergency management, communications, estimated restoration times and resiliency.She received a copy of this report last week, but did not release it to the public until after working to compare it to her “Four Pillars” and presenting the findings to the power board. Broyles-Aplin said the delayed release of this report does not further expose the utility’s communication problems. “I view giving the board, who commissioned the report, a valid opportunity to have a robust discussion and hear from the experts who created the report as completely appropriate,” she said. Broyles-Aplin said the final report gives NES its first chance to take a step back and hold people accountable for issues during the ice storm. “We’re always in a state of ensuring that we’re better serving our customers by making sure we have the right people in the right seats,” she added. “This report certainly gives us a lot of information. You saw it, 130 pages to run with on that.”Mayor Freddie O’Connell said the report will be reviewed by the Winter Storm Response Commission to determine what changes should be made to prevent a power outage like that in the future. NES leaders were questioned by the commission for three hours earlier this month about issues with the storm response. “This is how accountability works: Identify the gaps, commit to solutions, execute with transparency, and report progress. Nashville is doing that together,” O’Connell said in a statement.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/could-nes-restore-power-sooner-deadly-january-winter-storm-new-independent-report-says-yes/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Brendan Tierney","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:56:35.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FODE2SR6RFFDFJNCGJRKSYD3RTE.png%3Fauth%3Dcf362deefee772d886527cf9754fd5df78cb4dfe94e64c10ba6b2f90076ccd61%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"could-nes-restore-power-sooner-in-deadly-january-winter-storm-a-new-independent-report-says-yes"},{"id":"3fvq8a","title":"Day 2: Witness recounts pregnant victim's final accusation in Blaise Taylor trial -

(KPHO/Gray News) — An Arizona woman is fighting for her life after a quick nap while tanning turned into a life-threatening emergency.Betty Lou Summer was at the Johnson Ranch community pool on June 11. Her family said she was by the pool for about an hour, tanning on a metal chair, when she fell asleep.Other people at the pool reportedly found Summer unconscious. She was suffering from heat stroke and had third-degree burns across her body.“The whole front of her body, all the way down to basically the muscle and the bone, was burned. And it’s significant,” her daughter, Michelle Gabbert, said.Paramedics took Summer to Valleywise Burn Center, where she was also diagnosed with severe shock and damage to her liver and kidneys.According to Gabbert, her mother has needed several surgeries and was placed on a ventilator and put on dialysis.“When I saw her and saw the condition that she was in, I really didn’t think she was going to pull through because I’ve seen time and time again how this ends up,” Gabbert said.Summer is expected to be in the hospital for at least another month.Gabbert said the family is sharing their mother’s story as a warning about Arizona’s summer heat.“I would have never in a million years imagined one of my family members having to go through this,” she said.Valleywise Burn Center said older adults and children are at greater risk of significant burns during Arizona’s heat.The burn center said people should wear skin protection, limit time outdoors, carry a towel, blanket or other barrier, and keep a close eye on loved ones.“The heat is no joke,” Gabbert added.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/82-year-old-woman-suffers-third-degree-burns-after-falling-asleep-pool/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Mickaela Castillo, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:19:03.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FKBDDB6BJFZFGBH6IPNYDVW6CPA.png%3Fauth%3Db31f38f9efe9eef0ded9221f5214d00b41cc5797488b4a3dc0b9eb1c53b51a5d%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"82-year-old-woman-suffers-third-degree-burns-after-falling-asleep-at-pool"},{"id":"4baskz","title":"Dickson music shop loses $10K in scam, owner says","excerpt":"DICKSON, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The owner of a Dickson music shop is warning other small businesses after scammers used stolen credit cards to steal $10,000 worth of guitars, he said.Zack Brooks, owner of Zack’s Music Shop, said a man called the store June 17 and bought three of the shop’s most expensive guitars over the phone, saying they were gifts for his father.“Their cards went through just fine,” Brooks said.About 20 minutes later, Brooks said, an Uber driver arrived to pick up the guitars. The size of the purchase and the delivery arrangement raised concerns, he said, and he contacted local dispatch to ask whether similar scams had been reported.“Wow, that’s a lot of money, and Uber picking it up, that’s really suspicious,” Brooks said.Brooks said he talked to the Uber driver delivered the guitars to a hotel, and investigators believe someone working with the caller then picked them up. Brooks said the Uber delivery driver was unaware of the alleged scam.The next day, Brooks said a woman from the Memphis area contacted the store and reported her credit card had been used without her permission.“Hey, my card got hit from your shop for quite a bit of amount, and I’m nowhere nearby and don’t even play an instrument,” Brooks said, recalling what she told him.Dickson police confirmed the case is under investigation.Brooks said the stolen guitars are two Cole Clark acoustic guitars and a vintage Gibson four-string tenor guitar from the 1960s.“The Gibson is pretty easy to identify,” Brooks said. “It’s a four-string tenor guitar. It’s from the 1960s, brown acoustic guitar.”He said he has been monitoring Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Reverb and eBay and has asked pawn shops and other music stores to watch for the guitars.“There is a possible that they could be in pawn shops,” he said. “Because they were close to the interstate, who knows? They may be headed to another state.”The store has stopped taking phone orders and is adding extra verification steps for large purchases, Brooks said.“If it’s a big order, have that same person who ordered it be the one to pick it up and prove their identity and to match the card,” he said.Brooks said he hopes sharing his experience keeps other businesses from being targeted.Anyone who sees the guitars listed for sale is asked to contact Zack’s Music Shop or Dickson police.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/dickson-music-shop-loses-10k-scam-owner-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Joylyn Bukovac","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:13:59.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FRHHRQILL3NHRZL5TQSKEH5DWGE.jpg%3Fauth%3D66265ed0230ff7ca94ebdac9f2b268115e32e9201f51d0d120f24a4e7cee9bda%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"dickson-music-shop-loses-10k-in-scam-owner-says"},{"id":"um780m","title":"How well are Williamson County teachers paid?

(WSMV) - A new study is providing insight into how well Williamson County teachers get paid. LEAN Frog Business Solutions created a presentation of its consulting findings this week, showing that while teachers in the district are paid competitively at the start, it “loses ground by mid-career.” “[Williamson County Schools] cannot sustain market position against neighboring districts beyond Step 10,” the consulting group said. WCS teachers are on a 21-step pay schedule, most of which increase from 0.99 to 2%. Step 21, consultants found, is the only step where WCS exceeds its peers, with a jump of more than 10%. A chart shows that Williamson County teachers have a starting salary that ranks third-highest amongst peers, which includes Franklin Special, Metro Nashville, Sumner County, Maury County, Hamilton County, Rutherford County, Knox County and Wilson County. But by Step 10 — about mid-career level — that ranking drops to eighth amongst peers. Then at Step 21, Williamson County ranks the highest, with a salary of $76,578. Meanwhile, the median home value in Williamson County is the highest in the district’s peer region, with median rent also exceeding peers in the area. “After housing adjustment, most peer districts exceed WCS purchasing power at multiple career stages,” consultants found. “Knox, Hamilton, Maury, and Sumner effectively exceed WCS by 19 to 28 percent at starting pay on a housing-adjusted basis.” The pay structure has seemingly impacted longevity amongst educators. “WCS is already experiencing a pipeline failure,” consultants found. “Internal Assistant Principals pass on Principal openings, and external replacements often do not retain.” The root cause of this, they found, is that placement rules credit a promoted leader “only for experience comparable to the higher role, not time in the current one.” To help with these issues, consultants recommended that the teacher pay schedule should be extended to at least 25 steps, with “smooth annual increases” to 2 to 2.5%. They also recommended that there should be a minimum promotion differential rule and that no internal promotion should result in a pay cut at entry. They also recommended that the top-of-scale pay should be formalized and that lagging classified positions should get targeted adjustments.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/how-well-are-williamson-county-teachers-paid-heres-what-new-analysis-has-found/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:55:57.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMXFX5TYO5FEVHPQOETV4XVBHZU.png%3Fauth%3D7562f4fd4b567f1c7ecc102b2f3bfebe174c8d7369974950822984dc1655cea7%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"how-well-are-williamson-county-teachers-paid-heres-what-a-new-analysis-has-found"},{"id":"3y2chu","title":"Feelin' like summer Thursday","excerpt":"Another beautiful summer day is in store for Middle Tennessee.","content":"Another beautiful summer day is in store for Middle Tennessee.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/weather-headlines/tn-forecast/june-25-2026/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Shelby Mac","publishDate":"2026-06-24T11:04:44.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2022%2F07%2FWEATHER_AUTHORITY_SUN_HEAT_V_01-1.png%3Fw%3D900","slug":"feelin-like-summer-thursday"},{"id":"bltmmm","title":"Major sports complex eyed for Williamson County","excerpt":"BLVD Capital has eyed Brownland Farm for a major transformation that would feature nearly a dozen athletic fields for soccer, flag football and lacrosse. The Tennessee Titans and the Nashville Soccer Club would offer youth sports at the complex.","content":"BLVD Capital has eyed Brownland Farm for a major transformation that would feature nearly a dozen athletic fields for soccer, flag football and lacrosse. The Tennessee Titans and the Nashville Soccer Club would offer youth sports at the complex.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/major-sports-complex-eyed-for-williamson-county/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Nikki McGee","publishDate":"2026-06-25T00:25:44.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FRedevelopment-proposal.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"major-sports-complex-eyed-for-williamson-county"},{"id":"bdyum5","title":"4 sentenced in Middle Tennessee opioid distribution, healthcare fraud conspiracy","excerpt":"A Clay County pharmacy owner and four others have been sentenced for their roles in a years-long conspiracy to unlawfully dispense controlled substances and defraud both federal and state healthcare programs.","content":"A Clay County pharmacy owner and four others have been sentenced for their roles in a years-long conspiracy to unlawfully dispense controlled substances and defraud both federal and state healthcare programs.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/4-sentenced-middle-tennessee-opioid-distribution-healthcare-fraud-conspiracy/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Pat O'Donnell","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:41:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F04%2FGettyImages-949187118-2_f466e8-e1752193746863.jpg%3Fw%3D800","slug":"4-sentenced-in-middle-tennessee-opioid-distribution-healthcare-fraud-conspiracy"},{"id":"css4s5","title":"Rain ruining your start to summer?

So far, neither side has found enough support to move forward.Ward 4 Council Member Tim Chandler said the situation is dire. \"I'm scared for the entire city because I'm not sure what's coming next,\" Chandler said.Among the sticking points is funding for police, fire, road improvements and the future of the Mason Rudolph Golf Course. Ward 10 Council Member Stacy Streetman called for the course to reopen during a special budget meeting earlier this week, while Ward 12 Council Member Keri Lovato pushed back. \"Mason Rudolph is one of those pet projects that is not needed,\" Lovato said.Chandler, who supports raising property taxes, pointed to rising costs as a key driver of the budget shortfall. \"Eight to nine years ago, a fire engine was $300,000, now they're $2.4 million,\" Chandler said.The council has already trimmed some items from the proposed budget, but Chandler said it has not been enough. \"We've already cut out sidewalk projects, we've already cut out intersection improvements,\" Chandler said.Chandler said he is not optimistic a deal will come together before the deadline. \"I'll put it to you this way, if I was in Las Vegas and I was gambling, I sure wouldn't bet on getting one passed,\" Chandler said.Mayor Pitts RespondsNewsChannel 5 requested an interview with Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts for this story, but we were told Pitts didn't have room in his schedule Wednesday. Instead, his office sent this lengthy statement: The City of Clarksville and the Clarksville City Council continue to work toward passage of a general fund operating budget for the new fiscal year (FY2027). We are optimistic that this process will conclude in a way that serves the Citys, and tax-paying residents, best interests. Like most of middle Tennessee and the Southeast region, Clarksville has uniquely experienced spiraling, unsolicited growth, and we need a budget in place that supports the needs of all City Departments and the residents served by them. We need a budget that keeps pace with, and stays ahead of the steep growth curve. In the long run, reacting to growth and providing patchwork solutions to challenging public safety or infrastructure issues and their required support services will only cost the City more than would be otherwise needed with the right fiscal planning, done now. In short, we cannot continue to kick the can down the road with respect to budgeting for Clarksville. The City goes above and beyond the call of duty to operate efficiently now, and is committed to striving for the best-possible efficiencies going forward. However, given Clarksvilles current population growth rate, the resources now needed, to sustain at least the same level of operational efficiency well into the future, realistically exceed what has been needed in prior years. Inflationary pressures also factor into this. All Departments within Clarksville City Government work together cohesively, with a common goal of keeping the Citys residents and visitors safe, and served by basic municipal facilities, programs and services that the public verbally demands year-round. To that end, all City Departments  and the Employees of these Departments who are also residents, neighbors, friends and community servants  are vitally important, and have to have the right fiscal support to accomplish their work. And, we have to make the City of Clarksville a place of employment that continues to attract and retain the best-qualified and skilled individuals out there. This requires a combined commitment to competitive pay and benefits, and the right work environment. We cannot, and should not settle for less. There are no excesses in Clarksville City Governments budget, no great surpluses, and no frivolous spending. What actually exists today throughout the City of Clarksville, budgetarily speaking, is quite to the contrary. Together, we will make the right choices, and succeed in adopting a budget that works both for now, and the future of Clarksville.What happens if the council misses the deadline?According to John Dunn, a spokesperson for Tennessee Comptroller Jason Mumpower, the goal is always to have a budget passed before the fiscal year begins on July 1. If that does not happen, cities like Clarksville can operate under a continuation budget through Aug. 31.\"While operating on a continuation budget, a department of a municipality may not expend more than the amount spent during the corresponding month of the prior fiscal year. In other words, July 2026 expenditures should not exceed July 2025 spending,\" Dunn said.The stakes grow significantly after that deadline. \"If a city does not pass a budget by August 31, the city would not have the authority to spend money until a budget is in place,\" Dunn said.That means if the council cannot reach an agreement, city operations would effectively grind to a halt after Aug. 31.Chandler said the weight of that possibility is not lost on him. \"I'm just scared right now,\" Chandler said.Do you have more information about this story?

MSS said they have met that challenge as more food access programs under the Hunger No More Nashville umbrella are planned.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/need-food-metro-social-services-host-food-give-away-nashville/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Danica Sauter","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:51:15.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FPH4ZGZYC3FDLXJURIAIQMKLZUI.png%3Fauth%3D7037c064a64cbe482bc71c8b5a949180700e39e48f6c5eb8c20a95cdf53ff8ee%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"need-food-metro-social-services-to-host-food-give-away-in-nashville"},{"id":"c01dev","title":"Williamson County school board to meet during summer after superintendent resigns","excerpt":"FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden has resigned, a move that came days after the school board voted to extend his contract for one year.Golden submitted his resignation on Tuesday after the board voted last week, 9-2 with one abstention, to extend his contract...","content":"FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden has resigned, a move that came days after the school board voted to extend his contract for one year.Golden submitted his resignation on Tuesday after the board voted last week, 9-2 with one abstention, to extend his contract.In a statement to staff, Golden called it a tough decision and said he was grateful for the work accomplished. He said he will be taking a job as the Associate Director of Finance, Administration and Legal Services with Franklin Special District.School board member Eric Welch said extending a contract is not “the same thing as support for your superintendent,” and called the superintendent’s role “a tough job,” adding that the position answers to 12 politically elected board members. Williamson County is performing at the top in the state, but some say the climate has changed and moved away from a focus on students and parents.Retired teacher Vicky DeMaio said she believes the district has become more political and that parents do not have the same rights they used to have, including feeling comfortable speaking up, whether they agree or disagree with what is happening in schools.Welch also raised concerns about the district’s future under new leadership, pointing to a lack of state funding, budget shortfalls and statewide teacher shortages. He said the district has supportive parents and bright students, but added that “success is not guaranteed.”DeMaio said leadership at the top matters and encouraged parents to stay engaged in the process. She said getting a superintendent who understands what kids and teachers need is critical, and warned that choosing a controversial leader could shift the focus away from students.The school board is scheduled to hold a special meeting on Monday, June 29, at 5 p.m. at the Professional Development Center, where public comment will be taken according to the district website, but speakers must register in advance by sending an email to publiccomment@wcs.edu.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/williamson-county-school-board-meet-during-summer-after-superintendent-resigns/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Diana Rocco","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:51:06.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMXFX5TYO5FEVHPQOETV4XVBHZU.png%3Fauth%3D7562f4fd4b567f1c7ecc102b2f3bfebe174c8d7369974950822984dc1655cea7%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"williamson-county-school-board-to-meet-during-summer-after-superintendent-resigns"},{"id":"xpm1at","title":"Williamson County Schools faces leadership change as superintendent resigns","excerpt":"Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden has submitted his resignation, leaving one of Tennessee's top-performing school districts without a leader at a critical time.Golden turned in his notice approximately one week after a contentious board meeting that ultimately approved his con...","content":"Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden has submitted his resignation, leaving one of Tennessee's top-performing school districts without a leader at a critical time.Golden turned in his notice approximately one week after a contentious board meeting that ultimately approved his contract extension. His last day is in August, after which he will take a job with the Franklin Special District. The board is set to discuss an interim superintendent and the search for a permanent replacement next week.The district has built a strong academic reputation. The class of 2025 averaged the highest ACT scores in the state.\"We are growing students like never before,\" Golden said at the board meeting.Board Member Eric Welch said he was surprised and disappointed to learn the superintendent, who has led the district since 2019, wanted to walk away.\"The timing is certainly not ideal,\" Welch said.Welch also acknowledged the broader challenges facing the district.\"This is pretty disruptive. There's always political drama with school board and policies like that  what we're seeing on the national level is now at the state level and the local level  a trickle down,\" Welch said.Board Member Dr. Margie Johnson had made the initial motion to postpone approving Golden's contract until after five new board members are elected in September, arguing incoming members should have a voice in the decision.\"Incoming board members should have an opportunity to have input,\" Johnson said at the board meeting.In a statement, Johnson said in part that \"selecting a new superintendent will be one of the board's most important responsibilities.\" She said she remains confident in the district's future, though she expressed concern about what comes next.\"What I'm more concerned about are the long-term implications of it  who's that new leader going to be? You look at all that achievement and success that we've had and then you have individuals who just wanna tear it down,\" Welch said.Golden issued a statement expressing his gratitude and hope for the future of the district.In a changing landscape, staying on top will depend on a relatively new board finding consensus on both a new leader and the district's future direction.Do you have more information about this story?

(WSMV) - A dispute over Cheekwood Estate & Gardens’ plans to build a new parking facility is now headed to Metro’s Board of Zoning Appeals after nearby residents filed an appeal citing long-running traffic and safety concerns in the Belle Meade and Highlands neighborhoods.Cheekwood moved forward with the on-site parking plan after agreeing to stop using Metro Parks land for overflow parking.Cheekwood President and CEO Jane MacLeod said the organization learned about the neighbors’ appeal “over the weekend” and began reaching out to supporters.“We first found out over the weekend and, you know, have immediately launched into reaching out to our community to help us save Cheekwood and keep us from being shut down,” MacLeod said.McLeod said the appeal challenges more than the construction of the parking facility.“If you read the language in the appeal, it is not only trying to stop construction on a Metro-mandated parking facility, which brings parking off of parkland onto Cheekwood’s land, but it also is a stop work order for all functions at Cheekwood to end, which is essentially shutting us down,” she said.MacLeod said Cheekwood has had an agreement with Metro Parks since 1981 to use land outside its gates for visitor parking. She said Metro Parks later asked Cheekwood to move parking onto its property.MacLeod said Cheekwood renewed its memorandum of understanding in March 2025, and part of that renewal was an agreement to move parking on site by December 2027. She also said the agreement included traffic management systems.MacLeod said Cheekwood began using timed ticketing in 2020.“With time ticketing, we can pulse arrivals,” she said. “We know when people are coming and those things just don’t happen anymore.”MacLeod said the planned parking facility would help traffic flow because cars would no longer be placed “on grass and unmarked spaces.”Cheekwood Estate and Gardens has put out an open letter seeking community support as it says it’s “facing an unprecedented and radical existential threat.”Neighbors’ attorney cites safety issues, permit and zoning concernsThe appeal comes from neighbors in Belle Meade and the Highlands who argue that traffic and safety problems around large events have continued for years. Attorney Chanel Acheson said the appeal was filed after what she described as repeated efforts to work with Cheekwood.Acheson said neighbors’ first notice of “imminent construction” was a certified letter from a consultant hired by Cheekwood stating that blasting was imminent.Acheson also raised zoning and permit issues, saying Cheekwood is “still zoned residential” and is “currently operating outside the bounds of their 1996 permit.”“It is three times the volume of what is recommended by TDOT on streets of the size and character of the Highlands neighborhood,” Acheson said of traffic in the area.Acheson said residents have at times been unable to access their homes and said emergency access has been affected during high-volume events.“At times, residents are not able to access their property or leave their property,” she said. “And at times there have been first responders that have been unable to access … because of the gridlock caused by some of these high volume events.”Acheson shared surveillance video showing a fire truck struggling to get through traffic during Cheekwood’s Holiday Lights event, and neighbors put up lawn signs seeking support for safer streets.Attendance, traffic and the Highway 100 entrance debateMacLeod said Cheekwood’s parking project is not meant to increase attendance.“This parking facility is not intended for growth,” MacLeod said. “We are simply trying to maintain our current level of programming that we do.”MacLeod also said Cheekwood’s attendance “has actually gone down 15% in the last five years.” She said if traffic has increased, it is due to Nashville’s population growth and other nearby destinations, including the park.Acheson disputed McLeod’s characterization of the attendance comparison, saying Cheekwood was comparing current numbers to “the peak attendance during COVID.” Acheson said Cheekwood’s annual visitors are “about 380,000.”Both sides have pointed to the need for an entrance off Highway 100, but they disagree over who is responsible for making that happen.MacLeod said Cheekwood supports a “Highway 100 shared use access drive,” but said Cheekwood cannot decide where a road or drive is placed.“Cheekwood has no authority over where Metro Nashville decides to place a road or a drive,” she said. “We can’t make that happen.”Acheson rejected the idea that the issue should be solved by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.“The idea that this issue is an NDOT issue is nonsense,” she said. “It is not NDOT’s responsibility to solve.”Acheson also said Cheekwood “need[s] to have access directly off of Highway 100,” and argued Cheekwood is “legally required to have access to either a collector street or an arterial road.”What the appeal could changeNeighbors said if the appeal is approved, Cheekwood would have to bring its operations and parking plans into full compliance with permits and zoning or scale back.Acheson said the appeal challenges the legality of the building permit and other permits required for construction, and said Cheekwood must bring its operations into compliance.Acheson said the neighbors’ group is not seeking to close Cheekwood.“Neighbors for Safety is comprised of individuals that have donated to Cheekwood, have volunteered at Cheekwood,” Acheson said. “The neighbors love Cheekwood. Everybody loves Cheekwood. What they want is for their neighborhood to be safe.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/could-cheekwood-be-shut-down-heres-what-we-know-about-appeal-filed/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Steve Mehling","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:45:21.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FJZFK2NAM5VE57DQQ7ZROPCYRNQ.png%3Fauth%3D2d9f5fe9b4fd418d11341bcc5fa400ac51b8857260c48e405db2105fb863df5a%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"could-cheekwood-be-shut-down-heres-what-we-know-about-the-appeal-filed"},{"id":"h1yfu4","title":"State wildlife officials to address Nashville community members about how to interact black bears","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The couple had downsized and moved to Oak Grove, Kentucky, storing their belongings at Storage Sense in Clarksville with plans to sell them at a yard sale. The lease was in Keith's name only.\"I never missed a payment, every month it's been paid, in my name. But they say since it was in his name, I got to go to court,\" Lori said.I stopped at the office at Storage Sense. The office manager explained it is company policy to lease all rentals to a single customer.Creating an estate planSo, was there a way to prevent this from ending up in court?Estate attorney April Harris Jackson says situations like Lori's can sometimes be avoided  in both Tennessee and Kentucky  by setting up accounts to transfer automatically when someone dies. However, some banks and private companies, like storage facilities, set their own rules. But naming a beneficiary or joint owner can often help families avoid court.\"If you've done the planning well and kept up with the planning, usually the goal is not to have to go through probate,\" Jackson said.Right now, Lori faces $379 in probate small claims court fees to reclaim belongings in storage that she says were jointly hers and her husbands.\"Ever since he passed, everywhere I go, I have to prove I was married to him,\" Lori said.Lori admits she and her late husband did not plan for life after one of them passed away.Jackson recommends every adult plan for the worst while hoping for the best  and says it is usually easier to start younger and adjust over time.The goal, she says, is making sure someone you like and trust is designated to make emergency decisions on your behalf  both financial and medical  before it ever comes to that.\"Making sure everything you have and want in an emergency is planned for,\" Jackson said.One of the biggest misconceptions Jackson sees is that a will is the finish line. It isn't.\"A last will and testament is intended to go through probate. The will is hopefully the backup plan. We want to use the other tools in our toolbox so we don't have to go through probate,\" Jackson said.Jackson says one of the most basic planning documents every adult should have is an advance directive, sometimes called a living will. This form outlines your wishes for CPR, life support, and hospice care if you are ever unable to speak for yourself.One of the most effective tools, she says, is a beneficiary designation.\"Anything that has a beneficiary designation goes directly to the person designated rather than probate... You can designate in many, many circumstances what you want to have happen and let the institution know,\" Jackson said.Lori's story is one many families face.

(AP) — Christian Pulisic says he feels “great” now after missing one World Cup match with a calf injury, and he hopes to play for the U.S. in its final group match against Turkey on Thursday night.Pulisic played a dynamic first half in the Americans’ historic 4-1 victory over Paraguay to open their home World Cup nearly two weeks ago, but the AC Milan midfielder came off at halftime after an injury from training stiffened up.Pulisic said he nearly played in the U.S.’ 2-0 victory over Australia last Friday but was held out to get closer to full fitness for the games ahead. He has returned to practice with his teammates this week after working out on his own last week before the trip to Seattle.“I’m hoping to play a part in (the match against Turkey), for sure,” Pulisic said before the U.S. training session Wednesday at Great Park. “I’ll discuss that with my coaches and the medical staff. Obviously not a good chance I’ll probably go and play 90 (minutes) right away after you come back and miss a game, but we’ll see.”U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino hasn’t said how he will treat the final group match, which is meaningless for both teams. The Americans are locked into first place in their group, while Turkey has been eliminated from knockout-round contention.Pulisic hopes the plan includes at least some playing time for him as the U.S. ramps up for its Round-of-32 match in Santa Clara, California, on July 1. While Pulisic’s calf injury robbed him of one chance on the World Cup stage, he felt certain he wouldn’t be out for long.“I never feared anything worse,” Pulisic said. “I was pushing, and I was really close to trying to be available for the last game, for sure. I did feel a little something (against Paraguay), but I definitely was able to push through in the first half and just get me through. But yeah, it wasn’t quite ready, but it wasn’t anything where I feared anything worse than what it was.”With no stakes for the U.S. against Turkey, Pochettino seems likely to provide some rest to key players in his starting lineup while giving a few of his reserves possibly their only opportunity to hit the field. That sounds great to starting central defender Chris Richards, who thinks some time off wouldn’t be a hindrance.“Our trainings are pretty intense,” Richards said. ”I think fitness won’t be an issue. I don’t think sharpness will be, either. Obviously it’s good to keep into some sort of rhythm, but I think these guys deserve it if they get the chance (Thursday). I think we’ll be fine when it comes to the next game.”Pulisic was visibly excited as a spectator during the Americans’ win in Seattle, celebrating along with his teammates as they capably handled a second straight opponent for their team’s first consecutive World Cup victories since 1930. The U.S. offensive performance without its most accomplished attacking player, particularly in the first half against Australia, pleased Pulisic greatly.“It’s not surprising to me,” Pulisic said. “I see what this team can do. We have depth. We have really strong players in a lot of positions. I don’t need to do everything. It’s such a strong team. These guys, everyone has each other’s backs. That’s what so fun about it, and to see the way the team performance that we’ve put in, especially the way we’ve started the games, has been fun to watch.”___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/FIFA-World-Cup","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/christian-pulisic-feels-great-hopes-play-us-final-world-cup-group-game-vs-turkey/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"GREG BEACHAM","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:25:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F72VGZYSX5REA3PC3ZNCJUDUNIA.jpg%3Fauth%3D9f6bf6473c91411e2b722dbb41ad3167f19f10d2fe9a2dd6e51b339189713047%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"christian-pulisic-feels-great-hopes-to-play-for-us-in-final-world-cup-group-game-vs-turkey"},{"id":"5bt22j","title":"Back-to-back powerful earthquakes slam Venezuela, collapsing buildings in the capital of Caracas","excerpt":"Back-to-back powerful earthquakes slammed Venezuela on Wednesday evening, collapsing buildings in the capital of Caracas and leaving residents shaken.The U.S. Geological Survey said the first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1 and its epicenter was west of the community of Morn, located along the ...","content":"Back-to-back powerful earthquakes slammed Venezuela on Wednesday evening, collapsing buildings in the capital of Caracas and leaving residents shaken.The U.S. Geological Survey said the first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1 and its epicenter was west of the community of Morn, located along the countrys Caribbean coast, about 104 miles west of Caracas. The quake had a depth of 22 kilometers.The USGS reported an even larger 7.5-magnitude earthquake just a minute later. The second quake had a depth of 10 kilometers and its epicenter was 10 miles southwest of Morn.The quakes are among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century.The earthquakes struck shortly after 6 p.m. local time. People evacuated swaying buildings in Caracas and remained outside, many visibly shocked as they saw entire walls that had collapsed, making furniture visible from the street. Dust columns could also be seen in two neighborhoods of the capital, where restaurants and other businesses are typically busy. People remained on the streets after sunset. Some sat on the ground hugging their pets as dust gathered around them.It started off gently and then gradually grew, and in the end, we all had to leave our houses, go outside and gather together, Caracas resident Hector Ricci said. Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said the quake could be felt in several states. The Altamira neighborhood in Caracas had alarming situations with collapsed homes and buildings, he said, suggesting people were injured in the earthquake and asking motorists to give way to ambulances and other emergency vehicles.We understand that some people may be desperate, but we are acting according to protocols to activate aid and rescue efforts to help those who need it most, Cabello said on state television. Be very careful with children and the elderly; call each other and check that no one has been harmed.He also urged people to remain outside as aftershocks could further damage some structures.The building really shook from side to side. Unreal. The force was incredibly strong, Caracas resident Roberto Gamas said. We were walking and it was tossing us around. Everything in the apartment fell. Well, thank God we were able to get out.The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami alert for Virgin Islands. Authorities in the Dominican Republic also issued one for the island. Another alert for Puerto Rico was quickly lifted.Strong earthquakes are unusual in Venezuela.While the country sits near multiple fault lines, its position straddling the South American and Caribbean plates makes earthquakes much less common than in other parts of Latin America. Along the Pacific coast  in Mexico and Chile, for example  earthquakes are frequent; the two countries sit along the seismically active tectonic belt known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, responsible for 90% of earthquakes, according to the USGS.This is a developing story and will be updated.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/science-and-tech/natural-disasters/powerful-7-1-magnitude-earthquake-hits-venezuela-collapsing-buildings-in-the-capital-of-caracas","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-24T23:20:31.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2F87%2F99%2F33682f474aa2b64306ef0cc027f2%2Fap26175861332501.jpg","slug":"back-to-back-powerful-earthquakes-slam-venezuela-collapsing-buildings-in-the-capital-of-caracas"},{"id":"cebqp2","title":"Winery owner seriously injured after stepping in to protect bartender from customers, sheriff says","excerpt":"PORTAGE COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) — A winery owner in Ohio was seriously injured when he was attacked by a customer while trying to protect a bartender, officials said.According to Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski, Eric Blose was arrested Tuesday.

The sheriff said Blose assaulted the owner of The Cove W Winery in Deerfield Township on June 12.Security video from the winery that evening showed the moments before investigators said the dispute turned violent.Zuchowski said it started when a group of customers tried to take their alcohol from the winery onto a boat, which is not allowed under the winery’s liquor license.A bartender repeatedly told the group that they could not bring their alcohol on the boat. The group “started getting rowdy and obnoxious,” Zuchowski said.Zuchowski said about 10 people became involved as fights broke out.“There were fights going on here, fights going on there, and they were all trying to break it up,” Zuchowski said.That is when winery owner Dave Wilson stepped in to help the bartender.According to the sheriff, Blose then punched Wilson in the face.“It cracked his jaw,” Zuchowski said. “He fell backwards, hit his head on the concrete, which you can see closely on the video.”After the fight, deputies searched for Blose for nearly two weeks. He was arrested Tuesday morning in Canton with help from the U.S. Marshals.Blose is charged with felonious assault and remains at the Portage County Jail.Wilson is still recovering from his injuries.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/winery-owner-seriously-injured-after-stepping-protect-bartender-customers-sheriff-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Julia Thyret, Brittany Wier, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:09:11.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FGDJPBDMKKRCJBGKUWKURVA2CVE.png%3Fauth%3D754b5ef2f541cbf84e5d9a862656918d0757622ed8ffa8750c5c238b9f503bed%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"winery-owner-seriously-injured-after-stepping-in-to-protect-bartender-from-customers-sheriff-says"},{"id":"mlvsq7","title":"Murfreesboro Fire Department respond to house fire, no injuries","excerpt":"Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department responded to a a house fire last night.","content":"Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department responded to a a house fire last night.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/murfreesboro-fire-department-respond-to-house-fire-no-injuries","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T12:40:47.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F1998%2F986%2F0x1%2F90%2Fdf03288e-c372-45ed-b3de-54c798e8cf3c-6c976096c0464368bb0c21e2e33d361e.jpg","slug":"murfreesboro-fire-department-respond-to-house-fire-no-injuries"},{"id":"1l9dyb","title":"Gallatin leader proposes pause button on data centers, crypto sites","excerpt":"As data centers pop up and get proposed across Tennessee, the figurative moratorium-talk iron is just as hot.","content":"As data centers pop up and get proposed across Tennessee, the figurative moratorium-talk iron is just as hot.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/gallatin-leader-proposes-pause-button-on-data-centers-crypto-sites","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T11:39:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F1179%2F986%2F0x32%2F90%2F70daf982-9ce8-4333-bcf4-98e1dcb5f28d-IMG_0687.jpeg","slug":"gallatin-leader-proposes-pause-button-on-data-centers-crypto-sites"},{"id":"652lfu","title":"Junie’s restaurant bringing a fresh dining experience to downtown Nashville","excerpt":"French Toast BatterIngredients2 large eggs ½ cup whole milk 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional but recommended) 1 tbsp granulated sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp ground cinnamon Pinch of kosher salt Tiny pinch of nutmeg (optional) ½ tsp Orange ZestMethodWhisk everything together until completely smoo...","content":"French Toast BatterIngredients2 large eggs ½ cup whole milk 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional but recommended) 1 tbsp granulated sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp ground cinnamon Pinch of kosher salt Tiny pinch of nutmeg (optional) ½ tsp Orange ZestMethodWhisk everything together until completely smooth.

Greene’s stance follows conservative commentator Tucker Carlson’s own announcement that he would no longer support the party. On his podcast “Can’t Be Censored,” Carlson, who was fired from Fox News in 2023, said his last straw was Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran. “I’ve been a consistent defender of the Republican Party for 35 years. I mean, very consistent defender. But there’s no defending this,” he said. “So no, I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”In an X post on Monday, Greene backed Carlson’s decision.“There are a lot of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country,” she wrote. “... we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.”But both have been quick to clarify that they aren’t Democrats now. On Tuesday, Greene described herself as “way too conservative to be a Democrat and too honest and free-thinking to be a Republican” in a social media post.“But I’m 1000% a proud American!” she added.In January, Greene stepped down from her post as representative of northwest Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. Once one of Trump’s biggest supporters, Greene had since split from the president over political issues, most notably, the release of the Epstein files, of which she was a major proponent.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/fed-up-marjorie-taylor-greene-joins-tucker-carlson-breaking-away-republican-party/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"ANF staff,

(WSMV) - New Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) results show Tennessee students made gains in English language arts, math and social studies.The TCAP results were released on Wednesday.According to the state, third-grade students reached their highest proficiency level in English language arts in nearly 10 years. Fourth graders also made substantial growth in mathematics.Statewide, ELA proficiency is now 42%, up from 35% before the pandemic in 2019 and 29% in 2021.Statewide math proficiency is now 41%, up from 37% in 2019 and 25% in 2021.Social studies proficiency is now 50%, an increase of more than 11 percentage points from 2019.In Nashville, Metro Nashville Public Schools said preliminary 2026 TCAP and End-of-Course results show continued improvement across core subjects in grades 3-8 and gains among high school students.MNPS said proficiency rose in English language arts, math and social studies in grades 3-8 compared with 2025. Social studies saw the district’s largest subject-level gain, rising 4.1 percentage points to 42.1%.The district also reported high school gains, led by Integrated Math III, which rose 7.9 points, and English II, which rose 6.5 points.The latest results build on last year’s record-setting performance for Nashville schools. Previously, MNPS said its best-ever performance in multiple TCAP categories occurred during the 2024-2025 school year, including English, math and social studies.The Tennessee Department of Education has not yet sent out science or Biology End-of-Course scores, so those results were not included, according to MNPS.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/tennessee-tcap-results-show-gains-english-math-social-studies/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caleb Wethington","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:05:00.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FYPVOFPNFXVG6PESPIYAEYYAYME.png%3Fauth%3D2a02d787b95f5eefc9125f30cd18b4fb1f1de5c1edc209822509dbb1e30fd0ce%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tennessee-tcap-results-show-gains-in-english-math-and-social-studies"},{"id":"qbly3z","title":"Budget Season Shows Fault Lines Between Council and Mayor","excerpt":"Metropolitik: With a flat financial outlook, members squeezed reserve funds for progressive causes","content":"Metropolitik: With a flat financial outlook, members squeezed reserve funds for progressive causes","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/metropolitik/metropolitik-metro-budget-council-mayor/article_b0b08904-7a1c-45c2-ba32-72a506a2b30b.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"Eli Motycka","publishDate":"2026-06-23T10:00:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2Fc%2Ff3%2Fcf3d4f19-0278-4819-8f8d-1f838b0ae76f%2F6a39b3091b0e4.image.jpg%3Fcrop%3D1173%252C662%252C9%252C67%26resize%3D300%252C169%26order%3Dcrop%252Cresize","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"budget-season-shows-fault-lines-between-council-and-mayor"},{"id":"yg68uq","title":"Tender, Devastating ‘The View UpStairs’ Explores Gay History","excerpt":"Street Theatre closes its 20th season with the ensemble musical","content":"Street Theatre closes its 20th season with the ensemble musical","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/theater/the-view-upstairs-theater-review/article_b694655a-9201-4a21-8145-e7abc083d5dc.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"Amy Stumpfl","publishDate":"2026-06-23T10:00:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2F1%2Fcf%2F1cf5c892-a8aa-4f05-8c49-dc94ff0aa842%2F6a399f649da78.image.jpg%3Fresize%3D300%252C200","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tender-devastating-the-view-upstairs-explores-gay-history"},{"id":"tb02zn","title":"Steve-O Is Growing His Sumner County Animal Rescue","excerpt":"An hour outside Nashville, the co-star of ‘Jackass: Best and Last’ — opening wide this week — is tending his goats","content":"An hour outside Nashville, the co-star of ‘Jackass: Best and Last’ — opening wide this week — is tending his goats","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/film_tv/steve-o-jackass-radical-ranch/article_8c15c6be-bb16-4cdb-b4b5-80d733fd01f8.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"D.

Edwards was identified more than 50 years after her body was found through forensic genetic genealogy.Members of Edwards’ family had been looking for her since her disappearance, and deputies said they had been notified of the identification.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/investigators-identify-jane-doe-found-dead-mississippi-river-after-more-than-50-years/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"KWQC staff, Akim Powell","publishDate":"2026-06-24T20:59:41.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FLCFA3GFPLFEL5EXYII5HXDG5TM.png%3Fauth%3D7d17eea60cc0b522993359e205be1cdd4ff4fd59c206c205f0332042a01492e2%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"investigators-identify-jane-doe-found-dead-in-mississippi-river-after-more-than-50-years"},{"id":"mjn343","title":"Here’s how to spot the signs of heat-related illnesses as dangerous heat, humidity impacts the Midstate","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Summer is officially underway, and extreme heat and humidity are forecast to settle into Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky for the back half of the weekend and into early next week.WSMV’s First Alert Weather team says high temperatures Sunday through Tuesday will top off in the mid-to-upper 90s, with excessive humidity expected to return as well. Heat index values will range between 100 degrees to 105 degrees Fahrenheit for many, but some areas could see the heat index soar over 105 degrees.With the heat, there will be some added dangers for those taking advantage of the sunny weather, such as heat-related illnesses.What are the different types of heat-related illnesses?The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said heat-related illnesses include heat stroke, heat exhaustion, rhabdomyolysis, heat syncope, heat cramps and heat rash.What each illness is and symptoms they include:Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness, as it can cause permanent disability or death without emergency treatment, the CDC said.Heat stroke happens when “the body can no longer control its temperature: the body’s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down,” the CDC said. When it occurs, the CDC said body temperatures can rise to 106 degrees Fahrenheit or higher within 10 to 15 minutes.Symptoms of heat stroke include:Confusion, altered mental status, slurred speechLoss of consciousness (coma)Hot, dry skin or profuse sweatingSeizuresVery high body temperatureFatal, if treatment delayedIf you experience any of these symptoms, the CDC said you should take the following steps to treat it:Call 911 for emergency medical care.Stay with the person until emergency medical services arrive.Move the person to a shaded, cool area and remove outer clothing.Cool the person quickly, using the following methods:With a cold water or ice bath, if possibleWet the skinPlace cold wet cloths on the skinSoak clothing with cool waterCirculate the air around the worker to speed cooling.Place cold wet cloths or ice on the head, neck, armpits, and groin; or soak the clothing with cool water.Heat exhaustion is “the body’s response to an excessive loss of water and salt, usually through excessive sweating,” the CDC said.Symptoms of heat exhaustion include:HeadacheNauseaDizzinessWeaknessIrritabilityThirstHeavy sweatingElevated body temperatureDecreased urine outputIf you experience any of these symptoms, the CDC suggests following these steps to treat it:Take the person suffering to a clinic or emergency room for medical evaluation and treatment.Call 911 if medical care is unavailable.Have someone stay with them until help arrives.Remove them from the hot area and give liquids to drink.Remove unnecessary clothing, including shoes and socks.Cool them with cold compresses or have them wash their head, face, and neck with cold water.Encourage frequent sips of cool water.Rhabdomyolysis is a medical condition that the CDC says is associated with heat stress and prolonged physical exertion, and it can cause the “rapid breakdown, rupture, and death of muscle.”“When muscle tissue dies, electrolytes and large proteins are released into the bloodstream. This can cause irregular heart rhythms, seizures, and damage to the kidneys,” the CDC said.Symptoms of rhabdomyolysis are:Muscle cramps/painAbnormally dark (tea or cola-colored) urineWeaknessExercise intoleranceAsymptomaticIf you experience any of these symptoms, the CDC suggests following these steps to treat it:Stop activityDrink more liquids (water preferred)Seek immediate care at the nearest medical facility.Ask to be checked for rhabdomyolysis (i.e., blood sample analyzed for creatine kinase).Heat syncope is a fainting episode or dizziness that can occur when standing too long or standing suddenly after sitting or lying down. Dehydration and lack of acclimatization can contribute to heat syncope, the CDC said.Symptoms of heat syncope are:Fainting (short duration)DizzinessLight-headedness from standing too long or suddenly rising from a sitting or lying positionIf you experience any of these symptoms, the CDC suggests following these steps to treat it:Sit or lie down in a cool place.Slowly drink water, clear juice, or a sports drinkHeat cramps usually affect those who sweat a lot during strenuous activity, the CDC said.“This sweating depletes the body’s salt and moisture levels. Low salt levels in muscles cause painful cramps. Heat cramps may also be a symptom of heat exhaustion,” the CDC said.Symptoms of heat cramps are:Muscle crampsPain or spasms in the abdomen, arms, or legsIf you experience any of these symptoms, the CDC suggests following these steps to treat it:Drink water and have a snack or a drink that replaces carbohydrates and electrolytes (such as sports drinks) every 15 to 20 minutes.Avoid salt tablets.Get medical help if the individual:Has heart problems.Is on a low-sodium diet.Has cramps that do not subside within 1 hourHeat rash is a “skin irritation caused by excessive sweating during hot, humid weather,” the CDC said.Symptoms of heat rash are:Red clusters of pimples or small blistersUsually appears on the neck, upper chest, groin, under the breasts and in elbow creasesIf you experience any of these symptoms, the CDC suggests following these steps to treat it:Work in a cooler, less humid environment, if possible.Keep the rash area dry.Apply powder to increase comfort.Don’t use ointments and creamsTips to stay cool in extreme heatThe World Health Organization suggests following these steps to protect yourself from the heat.Limit heat exposure by avoiding going outside and doing strenuous activity during the hottest times of the day, staying in the shade, spending 2 to 3 hours in a cool place, and staying informed about official heat warnings.Keep your home cool by opening the windows at night, when temperatures allow, and close the windows and cover them with blinds or shutters to block direct sunlight during the day. The WHO suggests using fans when the temperature is below 104 degrees Fahrenheit, as temperatures above that will cause fans to heat the body. The organization also suggests using an air conditioner if you have it. If you don’t have access to AC, qualifying Davidson County residents can receive a free one through the Metro Action Commission’s Summer Cooling Program.Keep your body cool and hydrated by wearing light, loose-fitting clothing and using light bed linens, taking cool showers, wetting your skin with a damp cloth, spray or wet light clothing. The WHO also suggests regularly drinking water.Protecting children and infants in extreme heatAccording to the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, children’s body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult’s.In a 2023 article, the university quoted Columbia pediatrician Connie Kostacos, MD, saying, “Children feel heat and humidity faster and more severely than adults and have a harder time cooling down.”The National Program for Play Area Safety shared these tips for kids to stay cool while playing outdoors:Wear sunscreen and light clothingWear a hat and sunglassesAlways touch the playground equipment before you go for a ride. If it’s hot, do not use itIf you feel hot, find some shadeDrink plenty of waterIf you feel sick or dizzy, take a break and tell an adult.The WHO also recommended that parents know the signs of heat-related illnesses.Extreme heat can bring an added danger to vehiclesIn addition to taking precautions to protect yourself when you are out in the heat, you should also be aware of how heat can affect your vehicle.A parked vehicle acts like a greenhouse. Sunlight passes through the windows and heats the dashboard, seats and other interior surfaces. That heat becomes trapped inside, causing temperatures to rise rapidly.Even on an 80-degree day, the temperature inside a vehicle can climb above 100 degrees in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, temperatures can be 30 to 35 degrees hotter than the air outside. In some cases, the interior can reach 120 degrees or higher within an hour.Because of this, conditions in cars can quickly become life-threatening for children and pets.According to No Heat Stroke, an average of 37 children die each year in the United States from heat-related deaths inside vehicles, which is two per week during the summer. Nearly three-quarters of the victims are 2 years old or younger, and many of the tragedies occur when a child is unintentionally forgotten in the back seat.In Tennessee, 33 children died as a result of vehicular heatstroke between 1998 and 2025, No Heat Stroke said, with the majority of cases due to caregivers or parents forgetting the child in the vehicle.To prevent hot car deaths, the NHTSA suggests that you make it a habit to check your entire vehicle, especially the back seat, before leaving it and locking the doors. The agency suggests putting a personal item, like a purse or briefcase in the back seat as another reminder to check it.Other precautions the agency suggests include asking your childcare provider to call you if your child does not show up for care and to store car keys and fobs out of reach of children, so they are not able to gain access to the vehicles.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/heres-how-spot-signs-heat-related-illnesses-dangerous-heat-humidity-impacts-midstate/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Kassidy Brown","publishDate":"2026-06-24T20:38:08.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F5YZDIWMDRRDQBBDQG6YNVZ6QPY.bmp%3Fauth%3D67738d10e02861fb26f630e14976357f93cfdcc3f841e645b087ac1eb72ce967%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"inBriefing":true,"slug":"heres-how-to-spot-the-signs-of-heat-related-illnesses-as-dangerous-heat-humidity-impacts-the-midstat"},{"id":"eay6ql","title":"First Alert Weather| Ways to manage intense heat as major heat wave to scorch Middle Tennessee","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Jones was a freshman living on the university’s campus when she died on April 30.The complaint alleges Jones died in a dorm room at Henderson Hall following an initiation ritual for a social club called “the Turtles,” or “Turtle Club.”The lawsuit described the ritual, called “crossing,” as an alcohol-based initiation practice where students were required to drink an entire bottle of liquor while answering questions or riddles.“They’re not even allowed to gain membership into the Turtles if they stop drinking, if they vomit, or if they’re incapable of drinking,” Rex Elliott, an attorney for Jones’s family, said. “The sole admission into the Turtles is being able to drink a large amount of alcohol. That is the hazing ritual at issue.”The lawsuit said the crossing happened while resident assistants were present, with more than 10 students gathered.The complaint alleged Jones texted friends that she was going to “cross turtles” and that she was “lowkey scared.”The lawsuit said Jones quickly became severely intoxicated, vomited and could not stand. It said a photo circulated around 10:30 p.m. showing her lying on a bed, apparently unconscious.“Savanna Jones had a very large amount of alcohol, and instead of taking her to a hospital and getting her immediate medical attention, they took her back to her dorm room and left her to die,” Elliott said.The lawsuit claims no resident assistant, residence life staff member, hall director or campus safety officer stopped the gathering, despite the university’s dry-campus policies.“When Savanna Jones was in deep trouble and it was clear she was in deep trouble, what did people do? What took them so long? Why didn’t they take her immediately to the hospital? Maybe her life could’ve been saved,” Elliott said.The lawsuit named Wilberforce University, its director of housing and residence life, a student and unidentified defendants. It brought claims under Ohio’s civil anti-hazing law and also alleged negligence and failures in the supervision of campus housing.The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages and demands a jury trial.Wilberforce University had no comment on the lawsuit.Elliott said investigations are continuing and questions remain unanswered.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/18-year-old-dies-after-being-forced-drink-entire-bottle-liquor-during-hazing-ritual-lawsuit-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Gerald Harris, Dorothy Sedovic","publishDate":"2026-06-24T20:15:49.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FVQIL5X7IYJCFDMT6TSKKJTNDWA.png%3Fauth%3D0cc06e5d1e4c204e70b8bd2b6086a827e8ee218f90ae5b9a548dcf156a9e0580%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"18-year-old-dies-after-being-forced-to-drink-entire-bottle-of-liquor-during-hazing-ritual-lawsuit-sa"},{"id":"yvqequ","title":"Gallatin leaders make decision on proposed sparkler ban","excerpt":"GALLATIN, Tenn.

The fastest path is usually the simplest: a directory you can search by ZIP code or city, plus a phone line that answers around the clock. Feed America (feedam.org) runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the country.\n\nSearch 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — all 50 states, DC, and US territories. Free. No account, no fee. Visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code.\n\nIf you're in a hurry, start with the phone. Dial 2-1-1 to reach a local referral specialist — free, 24 hours a day — who can point you to nearby pantries, meal sites, and benefit offices. United Way's 211 network fielded about 19 million requests for help in 2025. You can also text your ZIP code to 898-211. The USDA's National Hunger Hotline does the same at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479), or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) in Spanish.\n\nIf you'd rather look yourself, search by your ZIP code or city at feedam.org — then call the listing to confirm hours before you go.\n\nWhere to get free food today in Nashville:\n\n— Food pantries hand out groceries: canned and boxed staples, fresh produce, dairy, sometimes meat, occasionally baby formula and diapers.\n— Soup kitchens and community meal sites serve hot, ready-to-eat meals, often with no questions asked.\n— Free and reduced-price school meals feed kids during the school year; summer meal sites and Summer EBT (SunBucks) help cover the gap when school is out.\n— SNAP and WIC offices help you apply for monthly grocery benefits, and many people who qualify never sign up.\n— Community health centers and senior nutrition programs round out the map for older adults and families juggling food and medical bills.\n\nAll of the above are in the Feed America directory at feedam.org. Search by ZIP code, filter by service, and call the listing before you go.\n\nHow many people are in the same spot? More than most people guess. The USDA estimates that 13.7% of U.S. households — about 18.3 million households, or 47.9 million people, including 7.3 million children — were food insecure at some point in 2024 (USDA Economic Research Service). It may be the last figure like it for a while: USDA announced in September 2025 that it was ending the long-running survey behind the report.\n\nThe safety net is tightening at the same time. SNAP, what many still call food stamps, helped an average of 41.7 million people a month in fiscal year 2024 — roughly 1 in 8 U.S. residents (USDA). Under Public Law 119-21, signed in July 2025, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the law's nutrition provisions will cut federal SNAP spending by roughly $187 billion over ten years — about one-sixth of the program — and that expanded work requirements will reduce SNAP enrollment by about 2.4 million people in a typical month (Congressional Research Service). That's why searches like \"food stamps office near me\" and \"free groceries near me\" keep climbing.\n\nCall before you go — listings go stale fast. When researchers visited 50 listed food pantries in the Bronx for a 2019 study in the Journal of Community Health, only half were open as expected (Ginsburg et al.). Hours change, sites move, and online listings lag behind. A five-minute phone call can save you a wasted afternoon and a tank of gas — which is exactly why a directory is only as good as how current it's kept. The Feed America directory at feedam.org shows the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nWhat Feed America is, and how to be sure who you're supporting. Feed America is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 92-1761881), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the United States — 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing, across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. Pantries, soup kitchens, school and summer meal sites, WIC offices, community health centers, senior nutrition programs, and retailers that accept SNAP — all searchable by ZIP code or city, in English or Spanish, with no account and no fee, at feedam.org.\n\nBeyond the directory, Feed America puts food directly into the community — stocking neighborhood food-pantry drop boxes with groceries and household basics, and providing snacks for children's reading and enrichment programs at neighborhood libraries.\n\nFeed America is an independent organization and is distinct from other charities with similar names. To be certain which one you're supporting, confirm the IRS registration — EIN 92-1761881 — on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov. Feed America's profile is also on Candid, Charity Navigator, and ProPublica.\n\nFrequently asked questions.\n\nQ: Where can I get free food today in Nashville?\nA: Visit feedam.org and search by your ZIP code or city. The Feed America directory lists 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — including pantries, soup kitchens, meal sites, and SNAP/WIC offices — across all 50 states, DC, and US territories. You can also dial 2-1-1 (or text your ZIP to 898-211), or call the National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-HUNGRY anytime for a free 24/7 referral.\n\nQ: What's the difference between a food bank and a food pantry?\nA: A food bank is a large warehouse that collects and stores food in bulk and supplies smaller agencies. A food pantry is the local site where families actually pick up groceries. Most people in need visit a pantry, which a food bank stocks behind the scenes.\n\nQ: Do you have to qualify to use a food pantry?\nA: Usually not. Most pantries serve anyone in need and often ask for no ID, no proof of income, and no appointment. When in doubt, call first and ask what to bring.\n\nQ: I'm a senior — can I still get help?\nA: Very likely. An estimated 16 million adults 50 and older who qualified for SNAP weren't enrolled in 2022 — 59% of those eligible in that age group (AARP Public Policy Institute and Mathematica, 2025). If you assumed you wouldn't qualify, it's worth another look. Feed America's directory at feedam.org also lists senior nutrition programs.\n\nQ: How do I check that a food pantry is open right now?\nA: Call before you go. Listed hours are frequently outdated — one study found only half of listed pantries were open as posted. Feedam.org gives you the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nQ: How do I know my donation is reaching the organization I intend?\nA: Check the EIN. Every U.S. charity has a unique one, and it's the reliable way to tell similarly named organizations apart. Feed America's is 92-1761881 — look it up on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov before you give.\n\nIf you're able to help, you can support that work at feedam.org/donate. Donations to Feed America (EIN 92-1761881) — an independent 501(c)(3), distinct from other charities with similar names — are tax-deductible; confirm the EIN on IRS.gov before you give.\n\nAnd if you're reading this because you need food right now in Nashville, skip the donation and go straight to the search: visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code or city to find pantries, free meals, and benefit offices near you — then call ahead to confirm hours.\n\nBottom line: Feed America's directory at feedam.org is the fastest single tool for finding food assistance near you. Search 567,859+ verified resources by ZIP. Free. No account. Call the listing to confirm hours.","url":"https://feedam.org/","source":"Feed America","author":"Editorial Team","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:51:46.666Z","category":"Local Services","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnexcom-webflow-publisher.emperormew.workers.dev%2Fimg%2Ffeedam%2Ffind-free-food-hero.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"featured":true,"imageAlt":"A volunteer drops off bags of groceries at a community food pantry donation box; a child colors a thank-you sign at a neighborhood library."},{"id":"mv7ukl","title":"Applications open for Murfreesboro Police Department's 2026 Citizens Police Academy","excerpt":"Applications for the 2026 Citizens Police Academy in Murfreesboro are now open.","content":"Applications for the 2026 Citizens Police Academy in Murfreesboro are now open.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/murfreesboro/applications-open-for-murfreesboro-police-departments-2026-citizens-police-academy/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Erin McCullough","publishDate":"2026-06-24T19:53:46.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F02%2F107TD8YJ.11_44_58_20.Still001.png%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"applications-open-for-murfreesboro-police-departments-2026-citizens-police-academy"},{"id":"ktrrw0","title":"Man charged with distributing child porn expressed excitement about abusing young boys, investigators say","excerpt":"ST.

LOUIS (KMOV/Gray News) - A Missouri man is being accused of distributing hundreds of videos and pictures containing child pornography online. Authorities note in a District Court of the Eastern District of Tennessee case that 37-year-old Brian Michael Ebbinghaus has been charged with distributing child porn.Investigators said the case dates back to March, when an undercover FBI agent from the Nashville division infiltrated a child pornography trading room through the messaging app Signal.The name of the group was called “White American teen boys 14-17,” investigators said. The group also had a tag line of “only white teens (tictok boys) new vids Baited boys. Forced.” The messaging group was reportedly active and being managed by two administrators, “Fistedboy” and “F Wolfe.” Investigators said that Ebbingshaus was found to be “Fistedboy,” with the group that included 497 members. Between March and May, the undercover agent shared that they established direct messages with “Fistedboy.” During some of the initial conversations, “Fistedboy” was said to have distributed 24 videos and pictures containing child pornography and sent voice messages to the agent expressing his excitement about sexually abusing young boys.According to court records, the victims in the videos were prepubescent and post-pubescent boys engaging in sexual acts, in some cases, including adult men sexually abusing the boys. The undercover agent said the messages from “Fistedboy” also included that the user wanted to serve as a “sexual slave,” describing sexual fantasies, one of which included children. According to court documents, “Fistedboy” additionally sent an explicit picture of himself to the agent, which showed identifiable elements of the user’s bedroom. On March 31, the agent sent a link to “Fistedboy,” who clicked on it, which showed the user accessed Signal from an IP address in Chesterfield, Missouri, documents stated. On June 2, a facial recognition program determined that the selfie of “Fistedboy” sent to the undercover agent was visually similar to Ebbinghaus. Authorities said their investigation found that Ebbinghaus continued to distribute child pornography in the Signal group that included hundreds of images and videos to the undercover agent. On June 11, a subpoena return from Telegram, another messaging app in which the agent was communicating with Ebbinghaus, under the username “Fistedboy,” matched a phone number belonging to the Missouri resident. The investigation noted that an FBI intelligence report indicated that Ebbinghaus was employed by Edwardsville High School as a choreographer for school plays. However, the Edwardsville School District said it didn’t find any evidence that Ebbinghaus was ever employed or affiliated with the high school. The intelligence report also stated that Ebbinhaus worked with The Factory STL and The Sheldon Arts Foundation, a nonprofit art center with an educational component offering classes from kindergarten to eighth grade.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/man-charged-with-distributing-child-porn-expressed-excitement-about-abusing-young-boys-investigators-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Karla Vasquez Mejia, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-24T19:21:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FGYM5FNHSXVCOTJDCINYWGSMEPA.bmp%3Fauth%3D6dbe55a718c19b52fbb1f8f8b72d9a0ab1648d4ad18d8bfea4dddaa43e382655%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-charged-with-distributing-child-porn-expressed-excitement-about-abusing-young-boys-investigators"},{"id":"omfaly","title":"IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center holding final in-person help event Saturday","excerpt":"The IRS is offering in-person tax help on Saturday for the last time this weekend.","content":"The IRS is offering in-person tax help on Saturday for the last time this weekend.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/irs-taxpayer-assistance-center-final-saturday-hours-event/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Erin McCullough","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:35:03.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F04%2FAP24105636876345-e1776342895831.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"irs-taxpayer-assistance-center-holding-final-in-person-help-event-saturday"},{"id":"vemtw3","title":"Metro Action Commission is providing free air conditioners to Nashvillians.

But he said the recovery path is rarely straightforward.“My prediction is if I can be so bold, you’re going to end up with pennies on the dollar. And maybe sometimes in bankruptcy court, these claimants end up with nothing,” Hassay said.For travelers who paid by credit card, Hassay said the chargeback process can be another tool, but the timeline matters.“I’ll tell you that credit card deadline is generally considered to be 60 days, but don’t depend on that. The way you need to approach it is your deadlines were yesterday. You need to be on top of it,” Hassay said.Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, if you paid by credit card and did not receive a service, you may be able to dispute the charge through your card issuer.Hassay said the key is not to wait: save your records, contact the airline and check your card issuer’s deadlines.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/airline-trouble-save-these-records-before-you-file-claim/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caresse Jackman","publishDate":"2026-06-24T19:03:12.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FW5FP2TU46JET5NWJV5N2UZH45E.png%3Fauth%3Dea720a03199311da7811f09cb2e7e65c3fa7455791aef16f2915500c4e6299b6%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"airline-trouble-save-these-records-before-you-file-a-claim"},{"id":"6dc36w","title":"'Save Cheekwood' petition tops 10K signatures amid neighborhood legal dispute","excerpt":"Cheekwood launched a \"Save Cheekwood\" campaign Tuesday after a group representing more than 500 Belle Meade Highlands residents filed an appeal challenging permits for the estate's new parking pavilion project.","content":"Cheekwood launched a \"Save Cheekwood\" campaign Tuesday after a group representing more than 500 Belle Meade Highlands residents filed an appeal challenging permits for the estate's new parking pavilion project.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/save-cheekwood-petition-tops-10k-signatures-amid-neighborhood-legal-dispute/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Liz DeSantis","publishDate":"2026-06-24T05:17:50.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FP-10-PM-LIZ-CHEEKWOOD-DISPUTE.00_00_01_38.Still001.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"save-cheekwood-petition-tops-10k-signatures-amid-neighborhood-legal-dispute"},{"id":"rvaxc8","title":"Nashville Electric Service’s winter storm response delayed outside help, customer updates during historic outage, independent review finds","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The Nashville Electric Service has released the full findings of an independent review into its response to the deadly winter storm that led to the largest outage event in the utility company’s history in late-January into early February.NES reports that the ice storm left more than 230,000 customers without power, about half its customers, and it took nearly two weeks to fully restore service.The utility said it had more than 3,000 crews and support staff at the peak of the incident and received about 64,000 customer calls during the storm.Nashville Electric Service faces questioning over ice storm responseThis report from the independent review, by PA Consulting, follows previous questioning from Metro Nashville’s Winter Storm Commission. Previously, NES leaders were questioned about communication failures, delayed restoration efforts and coordination problems after the ice storm.PA Consulting’s review included more than 175 requests for data, 60 interviews, 17 focus areas and 58 recommendations.Here is the full review:The review identified four major priorities for improvement to NES:Incident commandEmergency preparednessRestoration estimates and customer communicationsResource forecasting and mobilizationReview: NES failed to request outside assistance early or broadly enoughOne key finding was that NES did not request outside assistance early or broadly enough for this storm. PA Consulting’s report estimated that an earlier arrival of outside crews could have reduced the restoration timeline by about two to five days.The review also found that NES did not publish specific estimated restoration times until about seven days into the response, limiting the estimated timelines’ usefulness to customers.Where the damage came from, according to NESNES claims that most of the storm damage traced back to vegetation. After the storm, the utility tightened its trimming standard, widening clearances around poles and lines and removing overhanging limbs.The service claims that it has already begun making changes through its improvement plan, including a new incident command model, updated emergency planning, stronger customer communication tools and more.NES said its outage reporting line has been scaled to 1,000 calls at once, and the utility has launched a mobile app for customers and added improvements to its outage map.So, what’s next?NES says that a more robust emergency plan is in the works, with a final version to be released in September. Its first full storm drill is scheduled for late August.Nashville mayor responds“The NES report lays out clear opportunities for the utility to modernize its system and how it serves Nashvillians. Our infrastructure and communications needs are changing, and we must adapt our systems to meet those. I’m encouraged that NES has already begun to implement many of the recommendations through its four pillars work. I appreciate the NES board for commissioning a thorough review of the utility’s storm response, and I look forward to implementation of the recommendations.”“Today, I’m pleased to nominate Jaz Boon to succeed Anne Davis on the NES Board. I’m grateful for Anne’s five years of service and look forward to the perspective Jaz will bring through his experience working with NGOs and all levels of government, and his expertise in environmental law.“The NES review is a critical piece of data for my Winter Storm Commission as they consider the public testimony and information gathered in recent weeks from Metro agencies and partners about the broader government response for their forthcoming report. This is how accountability works: identify the gaps, commit to solutions, execute with transparency, and report progress. Nashville is doing that together.”Mayor Freddie O'Connell","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/nashville-electric-services-winter-storm-response-delayed-outside-help-customer-updates-during-historic-outage-independent-review-finds/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Caleb Wethington","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:41:38.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FYN3FHKPSNZGWHBXAAGKDSNSDZE.jpg%3Fauth%3D7689494704a6b18bdb2a1f1f2dbb63123be6f93def9a92f40160b1dc6e9c5fe1%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-electric-services-winter-storm-response-delayed-outside-help-customer-updates-during-histo"},{"id":"piidc3","title":"Arby’s manager accused of giving customer herpes after spitting in food, court records say","excerpt":"BROKEN BOW, Okla.

(KXII/Gray News) - An Arby’s manager in Oklahoma is accused of giving a customer herpes after spitting in her food.Amanda Hendricks was charged with felony poisoning with intent to injure after a customer reported her food had been contaminated during a late-night visit on March 28.Police began an investigation after receiving a report from an Arby’s employee who claimed another worker had spit into a customer’s meal.Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the restaurant and interviewed employees.According to a lawsuit against Arby’s, Hendricks was aware that she had an active herpes outbreak when she spat into the customer’s food.Police said the footage shows Hendricks handling sandwich meat while working a slicer. She allegedly lowers her head toward the meat and saliva can be seen falling from her mouth and into the sandwich.On that night in March, the victim ate one sandwich as she pulled out of the parking lot, then brought the remaining food home and shared it with her husband and mother-in-law, who was in hospice care.The lawsuit alleges the victim developed symptoms after eating the food, including a lesion or cold sore on her lip. The victim later tested positive for HSV-1.The civil lawsuit against Arby’s alleges that the restaurant allowed Hendricks to work despite her “active herpes outbreak with visible lesions.”The victim now “lives in constant fear” that she will transmit herpes to her husband or their children, the lawsuit continues.Hendricks was arrested Sunday and booked into the McCurtain County Jail.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/arbys-manager-accused-giving-customer-herpes-after-spitting-food-court-records-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"KXII Staff, Akim Powell","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:35:30.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FOEA73LRKKZFCBMZGE3TTGQ5UNE.png%3Fauth%3De930a3f99008c9a97b9026d25c4766e5935e0866925d92711ea8a33d0434e677%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"arbys-manager-accused-of-giving-customer-herpes-after-spitting-in-food-court-records-say"},{"id":"ef0jmo","title":"Dollar General manager shot, killed by customer buying $1.58 hamburger buns, police say","excerpt":"COLUMBUS, Ga.

(WTVM/Gray News) — A Dollar General store manager was shot and killed in Georgia, and the suspect was later killed after police said he opened fire on officers and a K-9 at a separate scene.Investigators said 44-year-old Alexis Hill was shot and killed at the Dollar General just after 10 a.m. Tuesday. Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan pronounced Hill dead around 10:45 a.m.Bryan said a man came into the store to buy hamburger buns for $1.58 and handed Hill two crumpled $1 bills. As Hill straightened the cash, Bryan said the customer stepped to the side, pulled out a gun and shot her.Police said the gunman ran from the store. A short time later, officers tracked him to a second scene near Baker Plaza Drive.At that scene, Columbus police said the suspect shot an officer and a K-9. Officers returned fire, killing him.The coroner identified the suspect as 33-year-old Jerome Willis.Police said the injured officer has been treated and is expected to make a full recovery. K-9 Havoc is in stable condition but will require surgery.The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the officer-involved shooting. Officials said there is no ongoing threat to the public.Police have not released any history or possible motive for Willis.A friend of Hill described her as someone who was sweet and positive.“She’d make you laugh. She loved that job, and she worked her entire butt off for that job,” the friend said.Hill’s family said she was a mother of three boys.A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family.Hill’s brother wrote on GoFundMe that the family is mourning “a beloved sister, friend, and member of our family whose sudden passing has left us heartbroken.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/dollar-general-manager-shot-killed-by-customer-buying-158-hamburger-buns-police-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Gabriela Johnson, Gray News staff","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:18:30.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FFPUGMGQ4HRFDZOW2WRWIO5CAE4.png%3Fauth%3Da262d3967c44c9e166b96b0870e6b57682c4c63b4ca433004563a59ae503b368%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dollar-general-manager-shot-killed-by-customer-buying-158-hamburger-buns-police-say"},{"id":"s0wwg7","title":"Man stabbed while beating other with baseball bat outside Madison market, police say","excerpt":"MADISON, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A man was stabbed outside a market in Madison on Wednesday morning while he was allegedly beating another man with a baseball bat. Police say security footage captured the fight at 341 Gallatin Pike North, northeast of Nashville. It started when one man exited the market and walked up to a second man, who was sitting in his car outside the store. According to police, the two got into an argument, and that’s when the man in the car pulled out a baseball bat. Officers watched video showing the man beat the other with the baseball bat before the pair went out of view. “It was during this time that the subject swinging the bat was stabbed by the other subject he was fighting,” said a Metro Nashville Police spokesperson. The alleged stabber got away from the scene before officers arrived. They say he is a white man with blue pants and a gray shirt. The man who was stabbed was taken to the hospital, and he is expected to survive.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/man-stabbed-while-beating-other-with-baseball-bat-outside-madison-market-police-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:16:26.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSRQHROKWHNAGFJJ6SSWDOUUHSU.jpg%3Fauth%3D8992794382d77059cec2898490c5215478d89b8ba49f18992662714a8641a14d%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-stabbed-while-beating-other-with-baseball-bat-outside-madison-market-police-say"},{"id":"kouy8k","title":"Dickson pedestrians share safety concerns during 'Crosswalk Talk' event","excerpt":"Pedestrian safety took center stage in downtown Dickson Wednesday as state and local officials asked residents to share how they navigate busy streets and what changes could make walking safer.","content":"Pedestrian safety took center stage in downtown Dickson Wednesday as state and local officials asked residents to share how they navigate busy streets and what changes could make walking safer.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/dickson-pedestrians-share-safety-concerns-during-crosswalk-talk-event/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Jaxie Pidgeon","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:07:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FScreenshot-2026-06-24-125423.png%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dickson-pedestrians-share-safety-concerns-during-crosswalk-talk-event"},{"id":"ui6813","title":"Felon accused of attempted murder in shooting found with meth, crack and fentanyl during arrest in Nashville, police say","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WIFR/Gray News) - Three former employees from OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center traded the operating room for a conference room on Tuesday. In their attorney’s office in Oak Brook, the women publicly shared their experiences at the Rockford hospital.“It’s been really emotional. It still is,” Cindamon Proffitt, who served as operating room manager at Saint Anthony from 2018 through 2025, said. “It’s just hard. You want to do the right thing for the patients.”Proffitt joined two other former operating room leaders at OSF in a lawsuit against the medical center: Sofia Gudino, previously an operating room manager, as well as Tina Peppers, a former director of surgical services.“Every step that we took and measure that we took was to ensure that the outcomes of our patients were the best that they could be,” Gudino said.Represented by Jeffrey Law Office, the trio alleges the hospital put profit and efficiency over patients’ health and safety. The 18-page suit lays out claims that neurosurgeons violated hospital policy and that OSF leadership ignored complaints from staff.The lawsuit, brought by the Illinois Whistleblower Act, centers on a pair of neurosurgeons and their actions between 2023 and 2025, when the trio became aware of alleged “repeated and dangerous safety violations within the hospital’s neurosurgery service line.”“We had a new group come in for our neuro providers,” Peppers noted. “They were struggling a little bit to follow rules.”An example from the former employees included patients reportedly being left unattended on the operating table while under anesthesia. On Feb. 3, 2025, a surgeon allegedly left a patient for nearly an hour; on April 17, 2025, another doctor departed the operating room and induced the patient for a meeting, which lasted 37 minutes.“The patient was asleep. They can’t advocate for themselves,” Proffitt said. She mentioned that the longer a patient stays on anesthesia, the higher the risk for postoperative complications.The trio also says patients paid for this unattended time on their bills, possibly without knowing a surgeon wasn’t in the room for a period.“They’re being billed for that time by the minute,” Proffitt said. “Efficiency is important, but patient safety is number one.”Another concern for the OR staff appeared on Oct. 12, 2023. The trio said a surgeon was found asleep against a surgical microscope just before an operation was to begin.Peppers allegedly warned a chief medical officer of the danger of proceeding, but the surgery continued.“This was an elective procedure, not emergent in any way,” Peppers said.   Lawsuit against OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center  by  nathanlangley40   According to the lawsuit, other safety concerns include:Failure to complete surgical counts and breaches of sterile technique.Hostile and erratic behavior by neurosurgeons that jeopardized staff safety.Improper use of unapproved medical equipment (synaptive tractography system).Intimidation of nursing staff who questioned unsafe practice.The women asserted they reported these incidents and behaviors to hospital leadership through “multiple channels,” such as incident reports, the hospital’s integrity line, emails and verbal reporting.“Despite repeated reports, no investigations were initiated, no corrective actions taken, and the unsafe behavior continued,” the lawsuit read. “In fact, instead of corrective measures, Defendant retaliated against Plaintiffs, warning them to stop filing reports and assigning them disproportionate neuro-only duties.”The women say most of their reporting went disregarded, but Peppers mentioned one response from her boss.“His response to me exactly was, ‘We can’t afford to lose another surgeon,’” she shared. The women described an alleged lack of responses as deflating their faith in the hospital and medical care.“I got very stressed because I felt like I couldn’t protect my frontline staff. I felt like I couldn’t protect my managers. I felt like I didn’t have a voice in keeping my patients safe,” Peppers said.Before these alleged incidents, Gudino saw OSF’s values as “to take care of patients as if those patients are your loved ones that are on the table.”She says that without responses from hospital leadership, she struggled to believe in that practice.“Anything that seems that it’s off in any sense of the word, we should always follow up on so that you can make it better for the next patient that’s in there,” Gudino said.By May 2025, the trio left their positions at Saint Anthony. All but one of the women remain in the medical field. Proffitt’s experience trying to find a new career brought her to tears.“I’ve applied to over 34 positions. I have two Bachelor’s degrees. I have a master’s, and it’s just been really difficult,” Proffit said. The women mentioned claims of sexual harassment also prompted an environment that “became intolerably hostile,” with them being verbally abused and ostracized, with supportive staff warned to stay silent.“They were forced out as a result of the management there at OSF,” Attorney Antonio Jeffrey, who represents the former employees, said. When asked what justice looks like in this case, the attorney hoped for change at OSF.“It’s about ensuring public safety,” he said. Jeffrey shared that his clients are owed millions of dollars in damages following their reported experiences.“I want every patient out there to know that we always fought for them,” Gudino said.OSF representatives declined to comment on the situation. The former staff members added that, to their knowledge, patients who may have been left unattended on anesthesia may not be aware they were ever a part of this ordeal.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/surgeons-accused-leaving-patients-unattended-operating-table-while-under-anesthesia/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Nathaniel Langley, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-24T17:44:22.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F6QCSXUCC3JFZRH47MQPZGLGMLU.png%3Fauth%3D1be57d9bc134cbbb0ecd95e6a0f5fbb084578245eda1608990355524b067d422%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"surgeons-accused-of-leaving-patients-unattended-on-operating-table-while-under-anesthesia"},{"id":"k2z8d4","title":"Millersville leaders accept resignation of 76-year-old commissioner accused of child sex abuse","excerpt":"MILLERSVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Update (Tuesday): Millersville leaders have accepted the resignation of Commissioner David Gregory, 76, who’s accused of sexually abusing children for decades.No one signed up to speak during the public comment period. Earlier (Monday): Millersville leaders are set to host a meeting Tuesday afternoon amid accusations that a city commissioner spent decades sexually abusing children. The special-called meeting will come just days after Millersville Commissioner David Gregory, 76, submitted his resignation following being charged with sexual abuse and battery. Last week, WSMV4 obtained an indictment showing he was charged with one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child and seven counts of aggravated sexual battery. He’s accused of sexually abusing at least three children over the course of nearly 40 years, with the latest incident allegedly happening earlier this year. On June 19, an attorney for Gregory wrote a letter to commissioners saying that Gregory “has been honored to have served the citizens of Millersville,” but that “out of deep respect for the citizens of Millersville and his fellow Commissioners, he is tendering his resignation.” That resignation, the letter says, is effective immediately.An agenda for the City of Millersville Board of Commissioners says they are expected to accept Gregory’s resignation. The meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Then, the dramatic rescue of a man in cardiac arrest and the life-saving device experts say every public place should have. And finally, a behind-the-scenes look at North America’s largest record-pressing plant as vinyl makes a high-tech comeback in Music City. Understanding sundowning: Why evenings can be difficult for people with memory loss When you are caring for someone with memory loss, you might be seeing changes in your loved one in the late afternoons and evenings. Sundowning is when confusion, anxiety or behavior changes increase later in the day. It can be especially challenging because families often do not understand what is happening in the brain, Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said. Learn why it happens, how patterns from the person’s past could help you come up with a routine and the actions you can take to promote calmness. Read the full article here. When and how to downsize Downsizing does not have to feel like a loss. It can support freedom, safety and emotional closure while helping older adults think clearly about what they need now and what they may need later. Downsizing does not have to mean moving into a smaller home. It can be moving into one that is arranged better for the current season of life or for the future. Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, said the best time to begin thinking about downsizing may be earlier than many people expect. Read the full article here.

(Aging Untold) — Vinyl records surpassed CDs as the most popular physical music format in 2022 for the first time in more than three decades, and a Nashville record pressing plant is working to keep up with demand. United Record Pressing, America’s oldest and largest record pressing plant, is using new technology alongside original presses at its Nashville factory. Vinyl demand grows The plant has operated for 75 years and has produced records ranging from the Beatles’ first U.S. record to recent Taylor Swift releases. “It’s not been easy every year, and so it’s been really special to celebrate that longevity,” Cam Sarrett of United Record Pressing said. The plant was down to 12 employees in the 1990s, Sarrett said. After a vinyl resurgence during the pandemic, United Record Pressing now ships about eight million records a year. The factory handles multiple parts of the process, from creating lacquers from digital music files to making sure artwork matches what musicians want. Pressing process combines old and new Records are also customized by color and pattern before coming out of the presses and being trimmed to size. Davina Stevens, who helps plan the process, said it takes about 10 weeks. She said the technology has improved, helping records come out faster and cleaner while maintaining quality. The plant also stores more than four decades of masters in its warehouse and stages hundreds of pallets of sleeves for production. Employees check both sides of every record by hand as the plant prepares for future pressings.

He does, however, vividly remember what happened after the crash: strangers running to help and staying with him until medics arrived.“I don’t remember much. I had an insane concussion,” Seaback said. “I looked up and saw an 18-wheeler, and I tried to swerve around it. And I clipped his tire. I think I’m not really 100% positive what happened. And then I rolled.”Doctors told the 23-year-old father of two that he suffered a severe concussion, and his head was literally split open at the top.The crash happened Wednesday on Highway 6 in Brazos County, Texas, near FM 2154.Seaback said he was scared as he tried to get out of the wreck, not knowing whether he was still in the roadway.“I didn’t know if I was on the highway or not,” Seaback said. “So, I was scared of a car coming back and hitting me from behind again. And so, I crawled my way to the back of the car, and those awesome people were there waiting for me and … really took care of me in that situation.”Seaback is referring to a group of Good Samaritans who stopped and rushed to help.He said he was drifting in and out of consciousness and remembers pain and blood, but also remembers the voices around him trying to keep him calm.“There were a lot of really nice people who gave me a lot of comfort in that situation,” he said. “Because I didn’t know what was going on with me, I just knew there was blood everywhere. And everybody was just keeping me calm … I kept telling them, you know, my head hurts, my head hurts. And they just kept telling me, you know, you were going to be OK.”He believes the Good Samaritans helped keep his head elevated and tried to slow the bleeding until EMS arrived.“I believe they kept my head up,” Seaback said. “I believe they … tried to stop the bleeding as much as possible. I kept going in and out, though. So, I don’t remember that.”Seaback’s wife, Realityy Molina, learned about the wreck through a Life360 alert, a notification she said didn’t think was real until she called her husband.“We have Life 360, so I got the ‘Zach, he has been detected in a car crash,’” Molina said. “And, I was like, ‘Well, that can’t be real.’”She called Seaback’s phone, she said, and it rang twice before someone else answered.“Someone picked up, and they said … ‘Well, I’m assuming you’re his wife. Your husband’s been in a car wreck,’” Molina said. “And so, I was like, ‘OK, is he, is he OK? Is he alive?’ You know, and they were like, ‘We’re getting him out of the car. He’s alive. He’s bleeding from his head, but he’s alive.’”Molina said traffic slowed her drive to the scene, but when she got close, she said she had to run up the bridge.“The highway was all backed up, so I had to get on the feeder, and then I had to run up the bridge, and then run to him,” Molina said. “And he was already in the ambulance by the time I got there.”During the frantic drive, Molina said, one of the Good Samaritans stayed on the phone with her, providing what she described as her only sense of comfort in those moments.“The entire 15 minutes it took me to get there, I was on the phone with a man. And I don’t know his name,” Molina said. “I stole comfort in those 15 minutes when I was rushing there, so I am very grateful for him, and I really hope he reaches out so I can talk to him.”Later, Molina said, she found another clue that someone had been thinking about her husband’s safety in the middle of the wreckage: a jacket left inside the vehicle.“I found a jacket in the car when I went to pick everything up, and it was a purple jacket. It was not one we owned,” Molina said. She believes someone placed it to keep Seaback from being cut by broken glass as people pulled him out.Seaback believes the help he received before EMS arrived made the difference.“It took the ambulance 20 minutes to get there,” Seaback said. “So, in 20 minutes, I would probably not have been alive if, you know, [they] hadn’t stepped in and did everything they did to help me.”He remains hospitalized and is still facing another surgery for his head injury. Seaback said doctors told him he likely lost a significant amount of blood and may need a skin graft, depending on how the wound heals.“They said that I probably lost about half of my blood,” Seaback said, explaining that the bleeding came from his scalp. “I have to get another surgery on my head. They may have to take skin from my leg to do a skin graft if they’re not able to get the skin back together.”Molina said medical staff repeatedly told her it was a miracle he survived.“He had no broken bones,” Molina said. “I can’t tell you how many doctors and cops and nurses told me that it was a miracle that he even made it out.”Seaback said he considers himself a survivor for a reason and credits his faith and his children for pushing him to keep going.“I give all of the glory to God,” he said. “There had to have been a higher power there with me, because there’s no way that I would have survived this without something protecting me. And just the love for my kids, all I could think about was, like, I gotta get back home.

But downsizing does not have to feel like a loss. With a plan, it can become a choice that supports freedom, safety and emotional closure while helping older adults think clearly about what they need now and what they may need later. Start the conversation before you have to make a decision Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, said the best time to begin thinking about downsizing may be earlier than many people expect. “When you approach your mid-50s and you’re coming up on 60, and you’re looking at each other, if you’re married, and you’re saying, ‘Is this going to work for us here?’” O’Rourke said. O’Rourke said older adults and couples should ask practical questions about whether their current home will continue to fit their lives. That includes whether stairs may become difficult, how much work it takes to maintain the home and whether the size of the home still makes sense. “For me, I think about the expense of having a huge house that you never use a lot of the rooms,” O’Rourke said. “I like to think, well, I’m going to save some money, get a smaller place and do other things with my money.” Downsizing is not always about a smaller home Downsizing can also mean choosing a home that is arranged better for the current season of life or for the future. That could include a home with the same square footage, a different layout or space for multigenerational living, Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, said. For some people, that may mean keeping enough space for children and grandchildren to visit. For others, it may mean choosing a place that is easier to maintain or better suited to daily needs. Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said the decision often begins with priorities. “I think it’s deciding what’s a priority for you,” Cradduck said. “What’s important to me?” Think about safety and accessibility Accessibility can be one of the most important factors when deciding whether a home will work long-term, such as having access to a full restroom and shower, especially if stairs could become difficult. Cradduck said homeowners should consider whether a home can be remodeled to meet those needs. “If I’m in a two-story (home) and the only full shower, the full bath is on the second floor, and I may end up not able to ambulate stairs, that’s something to consider,” she said. “Can I remodel that home to make it accessible?” Make room for emotion, but stay realistic Some people might want a larger home to have space for family visits, but the experts said it is important to be honest about whether those visits are actually happening. Ambrose said people can sometimes hold onto space because of what they hope will happen. “You’re staying in a larger home with maybe almost a romantic notion that people are going to come, and in reality, they don’t,” Ambrose said. Take the process one room at a time The amount of stuff in a home can make downsizing feel overwhelming. Years of belongings can create decision fatigue, which may keep people from starting. O’Rourke said one way to make the process more manageable is to start small. “Take a little bit at a time,” O’Rourke said. “Focus on the room you don’t care about.” O’Rourke suggested sorting items into four groups: give away, sell, keep and trash. She also said it can help to bring in someone who understands your memories, along with someone who is organized and can help make decisions. “I think somebody that can ask you clarifying questions so it’s easier for you to make decisions because a lot of this is just decision fatigue,” Ambrose said. “But addressing your mature life tasks really help you feel more empowered.” Downsizing tipsAsk yourself: Is it time to downsize?Start looking at your options earlyConsider your life now and laterPrioritize one-level, accessible livingMake four piles: keep, sell, donate and trashAsk a friend to help sort\n  \n  \n\nKey takeaways Start thinking about downsizing in your mid-50s or as you approach 60, before a move becomes urgent. Ask whether your current home will work if stairs, maintenance or mobility become harder. Remember that downsizing does not always mean less space; it can mean a better layout for your life now and in the future. Be realistic about how often family visits and whether extra rooms are truly being used. Make accessibility a priority, including access to a full bathroom and shower. Reduce overwhelm by sorting one room at a time into give away, sell, keep and trash piles. More content about moving and home safety Selling the family home?

Sundowning is when confusion, anxiety or behavior changes increase later in the day. The Aging Untold experts are offering ways caregivers can look for patterns, reduce stress and seek help when something changes. Why sundowning can feel so sudden Sundowning can be especially challenging because families often do not understand what is happening in the brain, Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, said. “I think the biggest issue is, you know, you’ve got this pretty passive, really calm person throughout the morning. Throughout the day, things are really, you know, confusion, yes. Memory loss, yes. Changes, yes. But they’re just passively calm,” Cradduck said. “And then you get toward the evening and there’s agitation. There’s aggravation.” Cradduck said one way to understand the shift is to think about energy reserves. “That brain is exhausted,” Cradduck said. Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, said caregivers may see crankiness, agitation or frustration because the person’s brain is signaling that it needs support. “It’s basically the brain is saying, ‘Hey, I need help. I’m running out of energy,’” she said. Every person’s experience is different Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, said caregivers should know they are not alone and that sundowning does not always last forever. “This stage is not a forever stage,” O’Rourke said. She said sundowning is temporary, which could be a year and a half for some people or three months for others. The next stage could be that the person is so tired that they can’t get up and walk around, it could be that they’re so severely confused that they don’t have the energy to go or it could be that they died, O’Rourke said. Every person with memory impairment is different, so caregivers should avoid assuming one person’s experience will look like another’s. “If you’ve seen one person with a memory impairment, you’ve seen one person with a memory impairment,” O’Rourke said. She said caregivers can listen closely to what the person may be trying to communicate and consider basic needs, such as hunger, thirst, fear, lighting or comfort. Look for patterns from the person’s past Cradduck said caregivers should think about the person’s past routines and how those patterns may still affect behavior. “Knowing what the person did historically helps us understand how to manage the behaviors and the patterns of today,” Cradduck said. That could include whether the person used to come home from work at a certain time, spend evenings with family or worked afternoon or evening shifts. Rogers said creating a predictable routine can also help. “If you can create a routine for the brain, if the brain knows what’s coming next, that’s calming as well,” she said. Adjust the environment before evening stress builds Rogers said lighting and shadows can play a role when the day begins to fade. Keeping rooms well-lit earlier in the evening may help reduce confusion caused by shadows. Caregivers can also learn from memory care communities by paying attention to how spaces are designed, decorated and structured. Katherine Ambrose, an aging-well coach, said visiting memory care communities can help families come up with ideas for their home or make plans for later. “You can glean so much from that,” Ambrose said. “And then maybe incorporate that into your lifestyle at home or have a plan for later that is more supportive.” Do not assume every new behavior is sundowning Caregivers should not automatically assume a new behavior is sundowning or disease progression, Cradduck said. Changes may be tied to something else, such as an infection, constipation, pain or a medication change. Small things can overwhelm someone with memory loss, and caregivers should consider whether something treatable may be contributing to the behavior. If non-medication approaches are not helping, O’Rourke said caregivers can talk with a physician about temporary medication support during an acute period. Five key takeaways Sundowning often appears later in the day, when confusion, anxiety or behavior changes may increase. The brain may be exhausted by evening and running out of energy reserves. Past routines can offer clues about current evening behaviors. A calm routine, good lighting and fewer shadows may help support the person’s brain. New or sudden behavior changes should be checked for other causes, including infection, pain, constipation or medication changes.

She says she doesn’t deal fentanyl, but it would certainly explain her conduct,” Judd said. “We didn’t visit ‘Virginia’ any further, we just put her in jail.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/woman-accused-stashing-nearly-30-bags-fentanyl-inside-her-body-sheriffs-office-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Amanda  Alvarado","publishDate":"2026-06-24T12:10:48.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FI6SA7LOGIBAQTCAEKH2XIWCF6I.png%3Fauth%3D54f698ed40567939eae2bef50bbdcf9d70acb5e73be22ce9dc654baaee5a1877%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"woman-accused-of-stashing-nearly-30-bags-of-fentanyl-inside-her-body-sheriffs-office-says"},{"id":"l81irz","title":"Man exposes himself to two girls in women’s bathroom at Opry Mills mall, police say","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Police are investigating after two girls allegedly found a man exposing his genitals in a women’s bathroom at Opry Mills mall last week. Christopher West, 56, was arrested on Friday and charged with public indecency and criminal trespassing, according to court records. “Juvenile victim stated that she walked into the women’s restroom and saw the individual playing with his genitals and then saw a little girl in a red dress running out of the bathroom crying,” West’s arrest affidavit says. The victim was at the mall on a field trip, police say. Officers were unable to locate the girl in the red dress. When located and interviewed by police, West denied any wrongdoing. “Mr. West told Officers that he went into the restroom and saw females inside but there is always females inside the restrooms, according to him,” responding officers wrote. “Mr. West admitted to Officers that he knew what he was doing and was attempting to fix his pants that were falling down.” The 56-year-old said he was not intoxicated and did not suffer from any mental illnesses. The girl’s mother and Opry Mills both told police they wanted to press charges in the incident. The mall told police they wanted to prosecute for criminal trespassing, and the man was banned from the property. Court records show West bonded out of jail, and a judge is set to review his case on August 21.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/man-exposes-himself-two-girls-womens-bathroom-opry-mills-mall-police-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-24T12:03:17.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FEVTFLMBUFVHFTG3GLP3NEXJO2A.jpg%3Fauth%3D37fe4bef9c286f1134f06e8f904268783ed7f125fdf37d9867475b61abedbe47%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-exposes-himself-to-two-girls-in-womens-bathroom-at-opry-mills-mall-police-say"},{"id":"bvqczm","title":"Man accused of throwing rock through Nashville restaurant window, injuring customer","excerpt":"A customer was cut by broken glass after a long-time felon allegedly threw a rock through the front window of a Nashville restaurant Sunday.","content":"A customer was cut by broken glass after a long-time felon allegedly threw a rock through the front window of a Nashville restaurant Sunday.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/man-accused-of-throwing-rock-through-nashville-restaurant-window-injuring-customer/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Andy Cordan","publishDate":"2026-06-24T00:08:19.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FIMG_3220.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-accused-of-throwing-rock-through-nashville-restaurant-window-injuring-customer"},{"id":"gxptr7","title":"Prosecutors, defense outline competing accounts in Blaise Taylor murder trial","excerpt":"A Davidson County jury heard starkly different accounts Monday as opening statements began in the murder trial of former Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor, who is accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, and their unborn daughter.","content":"A Davidson County jury heard starkly different accounts Monday as opening statements began in the murder trial of former Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor, who is accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, and their unborn daughter.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/blaise-taylor-murder-trial-opening-statements/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Jaxie Pidgeon","publishDate":"2026-06-23T17:45:56.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FScreenshot-2026-06-23-123247.png%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"prosecutors-defense-outline-competing-accounts-in-blaise-taylor-murder-trial"},{"id":"71dsv4","title":"Nashville man with 21 outstanding warrants arrested, charged in 2023 homicide","excerpt":"A Nashville man wanted on 21 outstanding warrants, including charges connected to a 2023 fatal shooting and an alleged vehicle theft crime spree.","content":"A Nashville man wanted on 21 outstanding warrants, including charges connected to a 2023 fatal shooting and an alleged vehicle theft crime spree.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/nashville-man-with-21-outstanding-warrants-arrested-charged-in-2023-homicide-investigatio","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T22:41:04.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2240%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2F8053111b-25cd-4c8e-81d9-5eb67eb9a6f5-Untitleddesign1.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-man-with-21-outstanding-warrants-arrested-charged-in-2023-homicide"},{"id":"as0bpp","title":"House left heavily damaged by fire in Murfreesboro","excerpt":"MURFREESBORO, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A 39-year-old man is facing serious charges after fraud detectives with the Metro Nashville Police Department tied him to years of financial theft involving two of his elderly customers.The report from MNPD states that fraud unit detectives were contacted by Bank of America about one of its employees, Karl Richardson, in early February 2026, after the bank noticed some irregular withdrawals.From July to November in 2025, Richardson had allegedly made 19 counter withdrawals from a 75-year-old woman’s account, often involving the woman herself requesting money but not receiving the full amount.Detectives also found 11 instances where Richardson made unauthorized ATM withdrawals from the same woman’s account. In all, he’s accused of stealing $68,400 from the woman over those four months in 2025.During this investigation, the fraud unit was alerted to another elderly customer related to Richardson. This 86-year-old woman had reportedly been targeted by Richardson over the course of four years, according to Adult Protection Services.Once fraud detectives dove into these allegations, they uncovered more than 100 unauthorized ATM, in-branch withdrawals, debit card use and Zelle transfers totaling nearly $71,000. These transactions occurred from April 2022 to April 2026.Richardson eventually left Bank of America in November 2025, but allegedly continued to make unauthorized withdrawals from the woman’s accounts. MNPD reported that he stole $4,500 from January to April of this year.This woman even followed him to his new employer, Simmons Bank in Bellevue, where he convinced her to open a new account at his branch. MNPD reported that the woman’s son closed this account before any fraudulent activity could occur.Detectives arrested Richardson at Simmons Bank on Tuesday. He was booked on two counts of financial exploitation of an elderly adult, two counts of computer fraud, two counts of felony theft, two counts of identity theft, and two counts of credit card fraud.His bond is set at $370,000.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/nashville-banker-arrested-charged-with-financially-exploiting-two-elderly-customers/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Tony Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-24T10:32:49.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FCZFZ7WARPVGITP3EUXUXB3DKPQ.jpeg%3Fauth%3D95fabdd75c48620dd5b405f91f229d3f06b1012bc9485649714ad22d925a79a8%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nashville-banker-arrested-charged-with-financially-exploiting-two-elderly-customers"},{"id":"l5pa6i","title":"Pregnant whale found dead on bow of cruise ship, authorities say","excerpt":"ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU/Gray News) – A pregnant fin whale was found dead on the bow of a cruise ship in Alaska last week.

A necropsy performed over the weekend by NOAA Fisheries, the Alaska SeaLife Center and Alaska Veterinary Pathology Services found blunt force trauma to be the cause of death.The cruise ship arrived at the dock in Seward last Friday with the dead 61-foot adult female fin whale on top of the ship’s bulbous bow.A local company towed the whale to a nearby beach for a necropsy.The examination revealed that the whale was pregnant and “freshly dead, and in good nutritional condition,” with plenty of blubber and muscle.Preliminary necropsy findings showed blunt force trauma to the jaw, spine and ribs consistent with a vessel strike, the agency said.The official cause of death is pending further histological and diagnostic testing of collected samples, which can take months to complete. Additionally, the law enforcement investigation is ongoing.“Ship strikes are already a leading cause of whale mortality in U.S. waters and the threat is growing,” Rick Steiner, a marine ecologist and chair of PEER’s board of directors, said. “Simply put, many of our busiest coastal shipping routes are death traps for whales.”The cruise ship involved was the Royal Caribbean vessel Ovation of the Seas.Steiner says ships can go anywhere from 22 to 24 knots, but the industry should adopt a slower speed of 10 knots or less during the day and 8 knots or less at night.Plans are currently underway to arrange for the whale carcass to be towed out to sea as soon as possible, where it is expected to sink and nourish a wide variety of deep-sea marine life.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/pregnant-whale-found-dead-bow-cruise-ship-authorities-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Rebecca Palsha, Gray News Staff","publishDate":"2026-06-24T07:19:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FHOPL5W2XYRENZMABW7LIM4BFBM.jpg%3Fauth%3Db0831cce13af4ac1d8f20d3a784d43cde8453e9e6a8c56ed481597bd3f122dd8%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"pregnant-whale-found-dead-on-bow-of-cruise-ship-authorities-say"},{"id":"f9soe3","title":"Rutherford County jail houses more than twice its intended population, officials say","excerpt":"During a recent presentation to county commissioners, consultants outlined the growing challenges facing the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, including inmate populations that far exceed the jail’s original design capacity and aging infrastructure that requires constant repairs.","content":"During a recent presentation to county commissioners, consultants outlined the growing challenges facing the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, including inmate populations that far exceed the jail’s original design capacity and aging infrastructure that requires constant repairs.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/rutherford-county-jail-houses-more-than-twice-its-intended-population-officials-say/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Kelly Milan","publishDate":"2026-06-24T05:04:52.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2F10P-KELLY-RUTHCO-NEW-JAIL_PKG_00.01.31.06.jpg%3Fw%3D900","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"rutherford-county-jail-houses-more-than-twice-its-intended-population-officials-say"},{"id":"112qxk","title":"FEMA offers $50M for 25 hazard mitigation projects across seven Southeastern states","excerpt":"Communities across the Southeast could soon receive a share of more than $50 million in federal funding aimed at reducing damage from future disasters.","content":"Communities across the Southeast could soon receive a share of more than $50 million in federal funding aimed at reducing damage from future disasters.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/fema-makes-50-million-available-for-mitigation-projects-in-southeastern-states","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T22:32:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F970%2F986%2F0x99%2F90%2F7347cc65-8c58-41fe-9eb1-84b1c2c3f701-FEMAPHOTO.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fema-offers-50m-for-25-hazard-mitigation-projects-across-seven-southeastern-states"},{"id":"mng3mf","title":"3-year-old hit and killed by car while eating at restaurant with family on Father’s Day","excerpt":"BEACHWOOD, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) – A toddler died after she was hit by a car while eating outside with family members at a restaurant in Ohio on Father’s Day.

(Gray News) – Detectives rescued a dog with its muzzle duct-taped shut and several other animals from deplorable living conditions, officials with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.An investigation began when members of the sheriff’s office saw a picture of the dog posted on social media. The woman who posted the photo was not the dog’s owner, but she found the dog with its muzzle duct-taped shut, hyperventilating under a wheelchair ramp.She told authorities she and her son cut off the tape, and the dog was able to breathe freely again. A detective was able to track down the dog’s owner and found 57-year-old Tammy Annette Roosa sitting naked in her backyard.“Roosa admitted that the dog was hers and that she taped his muzzle shut the night before because she said that the dog tried to bite her,” the sheriff’s office said.The detective said Roosa showed no sign of remorse for what she had done. Officials said the dog, named Cooper, was taken to animal control for examination, where a veterinarian determined he was malnourished and had marks on his neck that suggested he had been tied up for an extended period of time.When detectives went inside Roosa’s RV, they found a lot of trash, roaches and the strong odor of feces and urine. They also found piles of garbage, discarded household items and decaying material in waist-high grass. The septic system and pipes were leaking raw sewage, and there was a large presence of flies and mosquitoes.Seven cats, three fish, two lovebirds, two finches and a duck were also taken to animal control for treatment. Authorities said Roosa physically resisted as she was being arrested for animal cruelty. She was charged with animal cruelty, resisting arrest, operating an unpermitted landfill and keeping a nuisance injurious to health.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/woman-accused-duct-taping-dogs-muzzle-shut-claiming-it-tried-bite-her-sheriffs-office-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Debra Worley","publishDate":"2026-06-24T04:27:32.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FXBDOZLW33RGZDIEQJMXM7EBWMQ.png%3Fauth%3D38e623a0f8d775ea8df222f72747aa9f8dd5c8c1b2161f5137ad54d5282f1325%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"woman-accused-of-duct-taping-dogs-muzzle-shut-claiming-it-tried-to-bite-her-sheriffs-office-says"},{"id":"yfezpk","title":"Thomas Rhett to receive star on Nashville’s Music City Walk of Fame","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

We are thrilled to welcome Thomas Rhett to the Music City Walk of Fame to celebrate and enshrine his many contributions to the creative music community that makes Nashville so special.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/thomas-rhett-receive-star-nashvilles-music-city-walk-fame/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Danica Sauter","publishDate":"2026-06-24T03:31:34.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FS6IKTUJK6ZGR5GV72SS2AI7NTU.png%3Fauth%3D054d8b37c117a185e5c5bcd1936b262532f6eaaf3f7e92b29c1bfeb4c327a215%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"thomas-rhett-to-receive-star-on-nashvilles-music-city-walk-of-fame"},{"id":"n7rni8","title":"Bluebird Cafe to open first-ever satellite space","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - If residents don’t properly dispose of their used fireworks, the Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department said it can cause not only dumpster fires, but also possible structure fires.As a way to prevent fires, MFRD recommends residents follow the “soak and separate” rule. According to the MFRD, people should soak used fireworks in water until they are completely cool. Then wrap the wet fireworks in a plastic bag to keep them from drying out and then place them inside your regular garbage container. MFRD said that people should especially watch out for sparklers. “Sparklers account for a large share of emergency department injuries and burns,” MFRD said in a Facebook post. MFRD said sparklers’ temperatures are hot enough to melt glass. Officials recommended dropping sparkler wires directly into a bucket of water immediately after use. “For questions about local ordinances, call the Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department at 615-893-1422. In an emergency, always call 911,” MFRD said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/think-your-fireworks-are-out-fire-officials-say-they-can-still-start-fire-if-you-dont-do-this-method/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Danica Sauter","publishDate":"2026-06-24T03:18:42.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FBOIH3OZ54REYFPXRBAQYITO6YI.jpg%3Fauth%3D3f5d4b4141203681f784795f62496017c51e11b3d7f6fdb89f5b32fcf3b82de6%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"think-your-fireworks-are-out-fire-officials-say-they-can-still-start-a-fire-if-you-dont-do-this-meth"},{"id":"t3caaf","title":"Gallatin residents describe living near one of Tennessee’s largest data centers as city council defers moratorium vote","excerpt":"GALLATIN, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The home of one of Middle Tennessee’s largest data centers could be the next city to put a pause on building any more.Tuesday night, Gallatin City Council Member Pascal Jouvence introduced a proposal for a two-year moratorium on data center construction in the city.Several other cities and counties across Tennessee have or are in the process of implementing data center moratoriums, although there are questions about whether the temporary bans will hold up to court challenges.But many argue the pause can help cities navigate the best way to regulate the facilities before it’s too late.“We keep trying to push on data centers, but we don’t really have any idea of the impact,” Jouvence said at the City Council’s Tuesday night work session.But some Gallatin residents do have an idea of the impact.The city is home to a more than 900-acre Meta data center campus, which is one of the largest in the state.People who live in its shadow told us they didn’t fully understand what the development would be until construction was underway.“I didn’t know much about it at all when it first came in,” Glenn Haller. “I didn’t know anything about data centers or what was going on.”Haller told us, as of now, he hasn’t experienced many of the negative consequences when it comes to the actual operation of the data center.“It’s not been a real issue as far as the noise where I live, but of course it’s not in my backyard,” he said.But other residents in the area who live closer to the facility told us they have seen negative impacts, particularly from the construction noise, while the campus was being built and water runoff that floods their property.One couple said they’ve been trying to sell their property to downsize in retirement, but said multiple interested buyers have pulled out because of the data center nearby.They told us they’ve tried to work with the city to find solutions, but haven’t been successful.Several City Council members expressed support for a moratorium on data centers at the meeting Tuesday night, but the council ultimately opted to defer a vote on the resolution to give them more time to make sure the legislation is properly written.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/gallatin-residents-describe-living-near-one-tennessees-largest-data-centers-city-council-defers-moratorium-vote/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Braden Ross","publishDate":"2026-06-24T01:56:32.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F4X72RMIRERAI5J7QFCAPZU4TSM.png%3Fauth%3Ddfc72979d00e0a42974d5c970feeca77a7961a34edb43ea3379d8b3a132d350b%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"gallatin-residents-describe-living-near-one-of-tennessees-largest-data-centers-as-city-council-defer"},{"id":"m35fw9","title":"Remembering the Nashville impact of record executive Clive Davis -

The freshman forward spent his one season of collegiate basketball at Tennessee, leading the Volunteers to an unprecedented third straight Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.A Julius Erving Award finalist for the nation’s top small forward, Ament was nominated six times for the program record as SEC Freshman of the Week honoree, along with being a Second-Team All-SEC and SEC All-Freshman selection.The Manassas, Virginia, native averaged 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game and totaled 584 points in one season, the third-most ever by a Tennessee freshman.Ament started all 35 contests in which he appeared and was unanimously regarded out of high school as a five-star prospect and a top-four overall recruit in the class.The 19-year-old Ament draft profile features his 6’10” frame and ability to handle the ball. His combination of size, ball-handling, playmaking, and ability to draw fouls made him a favorable prospect.Ament will begin his professional career at the 2026 NBA Summer League on July 3, held across California, Salt Lake City, and Las Vegas.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/nate-ament-drafted-no-13-overall-by-bucks-2026-nba-draft/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Rylee Robinson","publishDate":"2026-06-24T01:36:15.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FPH6UHZHLLVGJFD66L5W7B2IGOA.jpg%3Fauth%3D2c9658973c665cb381d1aa88663fa2cee16ac52f912f047e558b057d578cde98%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nate-ament-drafted-no-13-overall-by-bucks-in-2026-nba-draft"},{"id":"wi9x7t","title":"Three arrested following prostitution-related investigation at Oak Grove massage parlor","excerpt":"Three people were arrested following an investigation into alleged prostitution-related activity at an Oak Grove massage parlor, according to police.","content":"Three people were arrested following an investigation into alleged prostitution-related activity at an Oak Grove massage parlor, according to police.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/kentucky-state-police-oak-grove-spa-prostitution-investigation-arrests-three-arrested","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T21:02:13.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2240%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2Fb2e5d7dd-60d0-4b75-816c-b88cf9a36b05-Untitleddesign.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"three-arrested-following-prostitution-related-investigation-at-oak-grove-massage-parlor"},{"id":"2cm0w6","title":"Private company, public service?

A spokesperson for the Iran Football Federation confirmed that the team will leave its base camp in Tijuana, Mexico, on Wednesday for Seattle.“This was planned on our end,” Andrew Giuliani, the executive director of the White House FIFA Task Force, told The Associated Press. “We were going to look at how the first two movements went, and if they went smoothly, we would extend the extra day in light of the longer travel time.”The policy change was first reported by NBC News and comes as officials from both countries negotiate over how to end the war in Iran.Iran’s squad has complained about the travel restrictions levied on the team, and the challenges it has faced since the outbreak of war. Iran originally sought to move its group stage matches to Mexico, with whom it has diplomatic ties. The team’s base camp was relocated from Tucson, Arizona, to Tijuana. Several team officials and members of the support staff have been barred from traveling into the U.S. with the team.For the first two matches, in Los Angeles, the team was not permitted to travel until the day before, which Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei repeatedly said put the team at a disadvantage. The team had less than 24 hours on the ground before its noon match Sunday. “Right now we need recovery more than anything,” Ghalenoei said through a translator after the 0-0 draw against Belgium. “The conditions have been extremely hard for us.”It’s not uncommon for teams to travel a day before the match, and it’s in line with FIFA regulations, which state that “each team shall travel from its team base camp to the match venue one day before matchday (MD‑1) and in exceptional cases on MD‑2, and shall return to their team base camp after the match (on MD/MD+1).”But Iran had asked for more time to acclimate to host cities and recover after matches, especially for the 1,200-mile (1,930-kilometer) trip to Seattle. The team has scheduled a Thursday training at the University of Washington.“We don’t ask for much. We just ask for the same procedure as for all the other 47 teams,” Iran national team player Alireza Jahanbakhsh said Sunday. “Hopefully we can bring everyone who is involved and help us with us.”The Iran team has also said it experienced difficulties entering and exiting the U.S. each time it made the 127-mile (204-kilometer) flight between Tijuana and Los Angeles. The typically short trip took five hours the day before its first match against New Zealand, team captain Mehdi Taremi said.Hours before Sunday’s match against Belgium, U.S. Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told Fox News the Iranians had “tried to get somebody in yesterday” who had direct ties to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. In a statement, the soccer federation vociferously pushed back, calling the claim “an outright and undeniable lie.”It’s unclear whether Iran’s upcoming opponent, Egypt, will also be allowed to arrive in Seattle two days early. After its 3-1 victory against New Zealand in Vancouver Sunday, Egypt asked to fly directly to Seattle. FIFA denied that request, citing a lack of security resources to accommodate the last-minute demand. Egypt returned to its base camp in Spokane, Washington, a 45-minute flight from Seattle.Egypt’s national team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.___AP Sports Writer John Marshall contributed reporting.

(WSMV) - The superintendent of Williamson County Schools is stepping down, board of education members said Tuesday. Jason Golden wrote his resignation in a note to staff members Tuesday, saying, “This decision was not an easy one.” “I have truly valued my time in this district and the opportunity to work alongside such dedicated, passionate and talented educators and staff,” he wrote. “Together, we have made meaningful progress on behalf of our students, and I will always be grateful for the relationships we have built and the work we have accomplished.”Golden said that he has accepted a position as the Associate Director of Finance, Administration and Legal Services with Franklin Special District. While a specific reason for his departure was not noted in the message, Williamson County Board of Education member Eric Welch cited “toxic elements and individuals” as a possible reason. “[Those] that refused to support our Superintendent, despite leading the district to the highest academic achievement and growth scores in the state, now own whatever comes next,” Welch wrote on Facebook. Board member Jay Galbreath offered additional insight in a Facebook post and directly referenced a meeting on Monday in which Golden’s contract extension was up for discussion. He specifically noted coverage of the meeting by the Williamson Herald, which stated the board voted on a one-year extension to Golden’s contract. According to the Herald, two board members — Tony Bostic and Margie Johnson — were not in favor of the extension, citing concerns about the superintendent’s salary and 24-month severance package in the contract. They also said that incoming board members should have input on his contract when they arrive in August. Ultimately, a motion to defer the vote failed and a vote to extend his contract passed 9-2.“Monday’s vote didn’t happen in isolation. It’s part of a pattern I’ve watched develop on this board: an undercurrent by several of our board members that looks for any possible opening to undermine this administration,” Galbreath said on Facebook Tuesday. “It shows up in different ways, in vague assumptions, innuendo, and questions that look inquisitive but are asked in bad faith.”Galbreath said that the push for the deferral was ultimately because “they want Golden gone.” Their goal, he claimed, was “get there without anyone being able to point to a vote that says so.” “To be clear, I have no problem with a board member voting against this superintendent’s contract. I did exactly that myself, after COVID, when I had real concerns,” Galbreath said. “Since then, I’ve continued to praise Jason when he’s earned it and press him when it was warranted. If you believe his contract shouldn’t be extended, say so and take a stand. Let the voters decide whether they agree with you. What I have a problem with is making the case and then declining to own it.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/williamson-county-schools-superintendent-steps-down-board-member-calls-out-toxic-individuals-who-didnt-support-him/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-24T00:11:55.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F7YVWIMJ3FJDEPCV7SRTPC7PK4Y.jpg%3Fauth%3D2549e3e31d136db0fc35bf273455b52d32c72c663568896b54fceb47ab4866ff%26smart%3Dfalse","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"williamson-county-schools-superintendent-steps-down-as-board-member-calls-out-toxic-individuals-who-"},{"id":"ufr9ag","title":"Midstate family says Tennessee DCS failed them as lawmaker seeks federal probe","excerpt":"A Midstate mother says Tennessee’s Department of Children's Services failed her family after her children were placed in state custody.","content":"A Midstate mother says Tennessee’s Department of Children's Services failed her family after her children were placed in state custody.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/tennessee-department-childrens-services-midstate-family-says-dcs-failed-them-aftyn-behn-seeks-federal-probe-knox-lawrence-davidson-grundy-washington-sumner-houston-bradley-hamilton-rutherford-counties","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T19:49:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F1280%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2Ff323fa1e-f259-442e-aa7f-b191ca4f5850-DCSIMAGE.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"midstate-family-says-tennessee-dcs-failed-them-as-lawmaker-seeks-federal-probe"},{"id":"mopfnm","title":"Guest hits $10.3 million jackpot at Las Vegas casino","excerpt":"A lucky guest is leaving Las Vegas as a newly minted multi-millionaire.","content":"A lucky guest is leaving Las Vegas as a newly minted multi-millionaire.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/offbeat/atlanta-guest-102-million-jackpot-westgate-las-vegas-casino-slot-machine-igt-megabucks","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-17T14:56:37.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F575%2F986%2F0x90%2F90%2F0847d229-6da7-44b4-9891-aaba9e21c0f5-megabucksprize.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"guest-hits-103-million-jackpot-at-las-vegas-casino"},{"id":"ieruc5","title":"Study: Williamson County Schools falling behind on teacher pay","excerpt":"This comes after a study found that the district is falling behind others in some aspects.","content":"This comes after a study found that the district is falling behind others in some aspects.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/williamson-county-teacher-salary-study-reveals-room-for-improvement/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Elisheva Wimberly","publishDate":"2026-06-24T04:56:22.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F04%2Fgettyimages-637549016-2-2-2-1-1.jpg%3Fw%3D724","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"study-williamson-county-schools-falling-behind-on-teacher-pay"},{"id":"1kfqji","title":"Titans look for secondary growth as training camp nears","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - The Tennessee Titans are looking for improvement in the secondary as training camp approaches for the 2026 NFL season.Much of the offseason discussion has centered on the defensive line and the weapons added up front, but the secondary is also expected to take a step forward after struggling last season.Injuries and trades made it difficult for the Titans to keep players on the field in the secondary a year ago.This year, the Titans added veteran presence by signing two cornerbacks: Cor’Dale Flott, who came from the Giants, and Alontae Taylor, who spent four seasons in New Orleans.Taylor has played both inside and outside cornerback during his career. This offseason, the Titans had him taking the majority of reps as an outside cornerback.“I know what they want from me, I know where they want me to be, and that’s an outside corner,” Taylor said. “That’s where I’m at. That’s where I’m honing in on. I’m obviously learning the whole playbook, right, so I know where my help is at, I know where Marcus is. So I’m a corner, but I feel like I’m at home. I’m right where I want to be. Like I said, I’ve been training as a corner this whole time throughout my career, so I’m very comfortable.”Taylor, a Tennessee native, is back near his hometown after playing in New Orleans for the past four years.“It’s super exciting to know I can just go down the road and see my mom,” Taylor told reporters after a Titans minicamp practice June 16. “I just bought her a home in Murfreesboro. It feels good. My family doesn’t have to drive seven hours to see me play. We can just go up and down the road.”\"Being in this position, the most cool thing you can do it get moms a home\" #Titans CB Alontae Taylor (@taeetaylor) said he surprised his mom with a new house after signing with Tennessee.

But an Iranian diplomat promptly rejected this, saying such a visit can only come after a final deal  a denial that highlighted the precariousness of the ongoing negotiations.The remarks by International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Mariano Grossi was the firmest yet from the United Nations agency, which is viewed as key in determining the status of Iran's nuclear stockpile.RELATED STORY | US and Iran begin nuclear negotiations with both sides reporting progress after opening talksSince Israel launched a 12-day war on Iran in 2025, the IAEA has been blocked by Tehran from visiting enrichment sites where the Islamic Republic is believed to store enough highly enriched uranium to potentially build as many as 10 nuclear weapons, should it choose to rush for the bomb. Iran long has maintained that its program is peaceful, though it is the only country in the world to have uranium enriched up to 60% purity without a weapons program.The U.S. and Iran offered contradictory remarks Tuesday about whether those sites would be inspected. Grossi acknowledged the contradictions, calling it a war of words at the moment.Grossi says inspections are going to happenI can understand political statements, they are part of the reality, but the fundamental thing I would like to remind you and draw your attention to is that there has been a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by both presidents, he told journalists at a news conference at the tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.The accord says explicitly that the nuclear activities that are going to be carried out with regards to the nuclear material facilities will be supervised by the IAEA  in all letters, he said.Grossi added: Obviously, to do that, we will have to inspect. Whether this happens the day after tomorrow or in one week or in 10 days, its important, but not essential. This is going to happen.Those inspections are key for the deal, which calls for Irans stockpile of uranium to be downblended from highly enriched levels.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | US negotiations with Tehran include a plan to return nuclear inspectors to IranKazem Gharibabadi, a Iranian deputy foreign minister, took his own shot at Grossi after his remarks, saying Tehran didnt meet with him while in Switzerland.These issues will be reviewed and decided only within the framework of a final agreement and as a result of practical action by the other side to end all sanctions and other measures. Gharibabadi wrote on X.He added: You cannot advance the stir up and take over policy with media hype.IAEA blocked from seeing bombed sitesThe IAEA has been allowed to visit other nuclear sites in Iran since the 12-day war in 2025, such as the Bushehr nuclear power plant. But without accessing the enrichment sites, the IAEA says it is unable to verify the status of Iran's stockpile or check the cascades of centrifuges used to enrich uranium. Both Iran and the IAEA say Tehran hasn't been enriching uranium, but nonproliferation experts worry that the Islamic Republic may be moving its stockpile to undeclared areas.The U.S. and Iran agreed to a deal last week that calls for Tehran to dilute its stockpile of enriched uranium and waives U.S.-backed sanctions on Iranian oil, while giving each side 60 days to hammer out broader agreements.But the uneasy ceasefire already has been tested by Iran saying it closed the strait again over fighting between Israel and the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah in Lebanon. Violence again broke out in Lebanon on Tuesday, but it did not escalate.Technical-level talks between the U.S. and Iran are expected to resume early next week at the Brgenstock resort in Switzerland, Pakistans Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. Pakistan has been a key mediator.Marco Rubio is in the Middle EastGrossis remarks came as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in the Persian Gulf for a three-nation tour, beginning with a closed-door meeting and private working lunch in Abu Dhabi with Emirati President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the State Department said Wednesday.Rubio is scheduled to travel next to Kuwait and then Bahrain for meetings with their leaders later Wednesday and Thursday.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/iran-war/un-nuclear-boss-says-inspectors-will-visit-iran-sites-tehran-says-only-after-a-final-deal","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-24T12:01:29.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F3a39b87%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F5000x2625%2B0%2B527%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F78%252Fe8%252Fca887bfd4d88b96461bd2bc6f7f4%252Fap26175170715272.jpg","slug":"un-nuclear-boss-says-inspectors-will-visit-iran-sites-tehran-says-only-after-a-final-deal"},{"id":"57p2ci","title":"Iran's uranium enrichment explained: What's at stake in US-Iran nuclear talks","excerpt":"Technical talks between the United States and Iran are continuing this week in Switzerland as the two countries work toward a final nuclear deal.

A central priority for the White House is ensuring Iran never develops a nuclear weapon.A new memorandum of understanding commits Iran to not producing or developing a nuclear weapon. But Iran's president says the country will not give up the ability to enrich uranium entirely  and that distinction is at the heart of the negotiations.RELATED STORY | US and Iran begin nuclear negotiations with both sides reporting progress after opening talksOne of the biggest issues in this 60-day negotiating period is the future of Iran's nuclear program and its uranium enrichment capabilities.\"It's a question of principle for Iran,\" said John Erath, senior director at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. \"They have asserted a so-called right to enrich under the Non Proliferation Treaty. It's a fallacy. The nonproliferation treaty is silent on the matter. It does not say that there is a right to enrich, it does not say that there is a prohibition on enrichment.\"Uranium is a heavy metal found naturally in the Earth. To be used for energy or weapons, it must be modified to increase the concentration of the U-235 isotope.Natural uranium has a U-235 content of just 0.7%. To be useful in nuclear power plants, it is typically enriched to 3-5%. Tehran's nuclear research center requires uranium enriched to about 20%. Weapons-grade uranium is typically at 90%, though it can serve other purposes as well  such as powering nuclear submarines.A potential deal with Iran could impose limits on enrichment levels. But one of the biggest challenges is addressing the highly enriched uranium Iran already possesses.\"Even if Iran was  were to not have any new enrichment capacity, that stockpile needs to be dealt with, because you can still build nuclear weapons straight away without further enrichment from it,\" said Sebastian Philippe, nuclear security specialist and professor at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | US negotiations with Tehran include a plan to return nuclear inspectors to IranExperts believe conditions are right for a new nuclear deal, in part because Iran holds a significant point of leverage.\"Iran has a much better tool to force potential opponents to do what it wants by closing the Strait of Hormuz,\" Erath said. \"[Iran] doesn't need nuclear weapons to do that.\"The White House says Iran has agreed to allow international nuclear inspectors back into the country for the first time in years. Any final deal between the US and Iran on Iran's nuclear program is likely to include continued inspections for years to come.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/irans-uranium-enrichment-explained-whats-at-stake-in-us-iran-nuclear-talks","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"Stephanie Liebergen","publishDate":"2026-06-24T11:55:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Fa96ea07%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F2000x1050%2B0%2B150%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252Fae%252F99%252F658e926e4505867a2395ff299f1f%252Fap24176491939092.jpg","slug":"irans-uranium-enrichment-explained-whats-at-stake-in-us-iran-nuclear-talks"},{"id":"boimv1","title":"Zoning dispute threatens future of Cheekwood Estate and Gardens in Nashville","excerpt":"A zoning appeal filed by a neighborhood group could halt construction at Cheekwood Estate and Gardens and potentially pause all operations at the Nashville landmark.The group Neighbors for Safety BMH has filed an appeal with Metro's Board of Zoning Appeals, seeking to stop construction of a new m...","content":"A zoning appeal filed by a neighborhood group could halt construction at Cheekwood Estate and Gardens and potentially pause all operations at the Nashville landmark.The group Neighbors for Safety BMH has filed an appeal with Metro's Board of Zoning Appeals, seeking to stop construction of a new multi-level parking pavilion on the Cheekwood property and raising concerns over how visitors access the grounds.Cheekwood President and CEO Jane MacLeod says the stakes extend well beyond one construction project.\"They also want to issue a stop-work order to stop all further functions from happening on the property, which essentially is shutting down Cheekwood,\" MacLeod said.In response, Cheekwood launched a \"Save Cheekwood\" petition, calling the challenge a threat to an institution that has operated for 66 years. MacLeod says the pavilion is required under an agreement to move parking off nearby parkland by 2027, not to increase attendance.Attorney Chanelle Acheson, representing Neighbors for Safety, says the group is not trying to shut Cheekwood down.\"At the end of the day, this is not about keeping Cheekwood from operating. It's not about keeping Cheekwood from growing,\" Acheson said.Acheson points to the 2024 Belle Meade Highlands Design and Mobility Study, which recommended both expanded on-site parking and direct access from Highway 100 as a way to relieve congestion on nearby residential streets.Neighbors say they support Cheekwood but want traffic infrastructure in place before capacity grows.\"The perfect solution is to build access and infrastructure before they build capacity,\" Acheson said.The group argues that years of gridlock have created safety concerns for residents.\"They cannot walk or bike safely in their neighborhood and sometimes first responders cannot get to their properties because of the gridlock created by Cheekwood visitors during peak times,\" Acheson said.Cheekwood disputes claims that its events are the main cause of traffic spikes, saying seasonal programming spreads visitors over the year and that peak days are limited.MacLeod says the organization supports a Highway 100 access road but notes the decision rests with the Nashville Department of Transportation and Metro government.\"Cheekwood cannot decide where the city of Nashville wants to place a road,\" she said.Neighbors also want Metro to enforce a 1996 Board of Zoning Appeals order, which allowed Cheekwood to operate as a \"non-assembly cultural center\"  meaning activities like art exhibits or garden tours with a steady flow of visitors, not large, timed events. They argue that regular concerts, holiday lights displays, and festivals go beyond what that permit allows.The Board of Zoning Appeals is expected to hear the case in August. Cheekwood is rallying public support, while neighbors will press for a stop-work order and enforcement of the 1996 order before any expansion moves forward.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.

Dan Goldman in their Democratic primary.Lander, who had the endorsement of both Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, beat the two-term incumbent on Tuesday. Goldman has represented New Yorks lower Manhattan and Brooklyn brownstone district since first winning election in 2022.Lander's victory puts him in strong position in the heavily Democratic 10th District en route to the November general election. Hell face Republican Jennifer Moore, who was unopposed Tuesday.Lander was acquitted earlier this month on charges related to a protest inside a building housing an immigration court and has pledged to push back against President Donald Trumps administration.Mamdani and his slate are promising to push the Democratic Party further left on key issues, the war in Gaza chief among them, even as establishment Democrats in Washington worry that their policies could alienate swing voters in midterm elections across the country this fall.Espaillat, who chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, faces another Mamdani pick, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist who once helped organize pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. Mamdani is also backing his democratic socialist ally, state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, who along with the rest of the mayor's candidates has vowed to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.Its not just a question of electing more Democrats. Its a question of electing better Democrats,  Mamdani said Tuesday. When I look at these candidacies, I see in them a willingness to also put working people back at the heart of our politics.In Washington, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries downplayed the influence of the Mamdani-backed candidates should they prevail Tuesday, which would make them the overwhelming favorites to win congressional seats in November given New York City's strong Democratic makeup.We have agreed to strongly disagree, Jeffries said of Mamdani on Capitol Hill. There are 215 members of the House Democratic caucus. A handful of primaries that go in one direction or the other, in a given state or two, arent going to reshape who we are as House Democrats.RELATED STORY | Rep. Dan Goldman addresses Brooklyn coffee shop banning him over his views on IsraelMeanwhile, Democrat Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, is hoping to write his own chapter in Camelot lore as he competes in a crowded field for a seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler. Mamdani has made no endorsement in that race.The Kennedy scion is running in one of the country's wealthiest congressional districts  covering much of the center of Manhattan  but faces questions about his lack of work experience against more seasoned opponents.The field includes state Assembly members Micah Lasher, a longtime government hand backed by Democratic leaders, and Alex Bores, whose proposals to regulate artificial intelligence have triggered tech industry blowback. Also running is George Conway, who helped start the anti-Trump group, The Lincoln Project, and has centered his candidacy on impeaching the president.RELATED STORY | Janeese Lewis George wins DC mayoral primary, poised to face Trump over city autonomyMamdani's insurgentsMamdani, whose first six months in office have drawn praise from establishment Democrats and even President Donald Trump, has made a big push to promote three congressional candidates who are challenging Democrats supported by the party's leadership.Two of Mamdani's congressional slate identify as democratic socialists, while Lander has often aligned himself with the movement. All three have repeatedly promised to abolish ICE, condemned the genocide in Israel and vowed to tax the rich if elected.Mamdani's most polarizing pick is Avila Chevalier, 32, in her race against Espaillat, 71, who was the first Dominican American elected to Congress and represents a district in upper Manhattan and the Bronx.Avila Chevalier has not held political office and casts herself as an outsider. Around an hour before polls closed, she was standing on a street corner in Harlem with controversial streamer Hasan Piker, chatting with voters in a final Election Day push.On the next corner, a small truck displayed an ad attacking Avila Chevalier, highlighting a disparaging remark she made on social media about former Vice President Kamala Harris. Avila Chevalier had previously apologized for the post.Espaillats allies have called Avila Chevalier unfit for office, pointing out a history of inflammatory and profane social media posts when she was in her 20s.In East Harlem, 47-year-old voter Sara Hyler said she flip-flopped several times between Avila Chevalier and Espaillat in the lead up to Election Day, but eventually cast her ballot for Avila Chevalier after learning about AIPACs heavy support for the incumbent.It was the breaking point, my last straw, she said of AIPACs donations to Espaillat.Hyler said it was important to elect a new crop of progressive democrats who arent beholden to AIPAC and the Israeli government. As much as I support Israel, I dont think we should be paying for them, Hyler said.Lander, a fixture of the city's progressive Democrats, got the mayor's endorsement in a race against Goldman, a progressive former federal prosecutor who served as lead counsel for Trumps first impeachment.The war in Gaza has been a dividing line between the two candidates, both of whom are Jewish. Lander assailed Goldman for not being tough enough on Israel over its military action against Palestinians. Goldman has consistently criticized Israel's government and condemned settler violence but has stopped short of describing the conflict as a genocide, which Lander has done.Still, Goldman amped up his criticism of Israel's war posture in response to Landers' barbs and shifting voter sentiments, all while seeking to keep his campaign focused on the high cost of living and such issues as opposing Trump's agenda.Mamdani has also backed Valdez over Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, in the race to succeed retiring U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez in a district covering parts of Brooklyn and Queens. Reynoso was Velazquez's handpicked successor, but failed to earn the mayor's backing.Yvette Sanchez, a 30-year-old preschool teacher who voted for Espaillat, said she was put off by Mamdani's attempts to unseat the incumbent in her district and stifle Velazquezs preferred successor, arguing that the established candidates are supported by Black and Latino communities.Do you just think you can insert anyone you want or do you actually want to listen to us? Sanchez, who supported Mamdani last year, said of the mayor.MORE ELECTIONS NEWS | Georgia Republicans push back against governor's redistricting planA Trump-influenced race in upstate New YorkIn northern New York state, a Trump acolyte with no previous political experience is facing a conservative state lawmaker in the Republican primary for a seat soon to be vacated by U.S. Rep.

Its supporters have hailed it as the most significant bipartisan housing reform effort in decades.The 21st century Road to Housing Act is aimed at lowering costs, creating new housing supply, and critically cutting red tape. The bill is a joint effort between Republican Sen. Tim Scott, a close ally of President Donald Trump, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a progressive and one-time Democratic presidential candidate.For Sen. Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate and the chair of the committee that spearheaded the bill, the issue is personal.\"My bother, my mother and I shared a bedroom, a bed, for years. And I will tell you that the American dream just seemed out of reach for so many in my neighborhood,\" he said.RELATED STORY | More 30-somethings staying in parents homes amid housing crunchAmong the dozens of provisions included in the overall package is a pilot for a new program to create small dollar mortgages under $100,000, cutting red tape around environmental reviews for new construction and the creation of a grant program to greenlight pre-approved designs to streamline the construction of new homes.The legislation also prevents large institutional investors which own more than 350 single family homes from stockpiling additional properties, though it does not require them to divest and does allow them to build new homes explicitly to be rented out.\"This should really give folks hope that Congress can still do big things and do them in a bipartisan fashion,\" said Ken Wingert, Chief Advocacy Officer for the National Association of Home Builders. \"While no one part of the bill is going to solve the housing issues we have overnight, this compilation, I think, will help put us a step in the right direction.\"RELATED STORY | Housing market shows signs of life; affordability challenges remain for buyersSenate passage was not unanimous, but 85 senators voted for it.

(WSMV) - Nashville is putting $4.5 million toward a program that provides legal help to low-income renters facing eviction.The Eviction Right to Counsel program is designed to support renters in court, where many face landlords’ attorneys without a lawyer of their own.More than 1,200 Nashville families come to court every month facing possible eviction. The program provides free services to low-income families and tries to balance eviction hearings by giving renters access to legal support.Program expanding under new budgetMetro Council approved the new budget last week and also made the ongoing pilot program permanent by bringing it into city’s Housing Division as part of Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s Unified Housing Strategy.Starting in the new Metro budget year, on July 1, the program will get nearly double the amount of funding it received last year. It launched in 2022 using American Rescue Plan Act funds that were running out. Elizabeth Leiserson, project director for the Eviction Right to Counsel program, said the funding will allow the program to hire more lawyers, help more people and fully integrate into the city’s housing work. “We have already substantially more requests for assistance than we’re able to help,” Leiserson said. “What we found is that if you give people a little support, a little bit of information, we can help most people achieve their goals through this coalition model and through the support we have here.” She said the program helped more than 1,000 households last year. A report found clients achieved their goals in 87% of cases, and 93% of clients receiving extended services avoided disruptive displacement.Services go beyond legal helpThe program offers full legal representation in eviction cases, limited legal action, counsel and advice, pre-filing mediation, rental assistance and community outreach.Services are delivered through a coalition of five organizations: Legal Aid Society, Nashville Hispanic Bar Association, American Muslim Advisory Council, Rooftop Nashville and Nashville Conflict Resolution Center.Leiserson said the setup allows them to help tenants at different stages of the process because evictions happen for different reasons and families do not all need the same kind of support.“What we’ve seen is so many of our neighbors are facing hurdles they can’t necessarily overcome and they end up with an eviction case filed against them,” Leiserson said. “Sometimes, those are financial hurdles. There are a lot of evictions related to folks who are behind on rent. We know a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck. In Tennessee, for the most part, if you are five days late on rent, your landlord can go straight to court on day six.” She said the program has seen people illegally evicted and they couldn’t fight back because they could not afford a lawyer on their own. The Eviction Right to Counsel program prioritizes clients in public and subsidized housing, people facing illegal lockouts, domestic violence survivors and cases involving housing discrimination. “I’ve seen evictions filed because of kids getting into arguments. I’ve seen evictions filed because someone was a victim of a crime,” Leiserson said. “Unfortunately, you’re not allowed to evict someone for being the victim of domestic violence, but it happens. There are landlords that have zero-tolerance policies, and if the police get called, you face eviction, even if the police were called because you were the victim, or if the police were called and they determined nothing happened.” Program leaders want to keep growingLeiserson said it would cost about $9 million a year for every Nashville renter who wants a lawyer to get one before facing a judge. This new money is getting them closer to that goal but they still have to keep building toward it. A review of the program found it has already generated about a 4-to-1 return on investment because Leiserson said eviction can affect more than just a family’s housing.“Somebody can lose everything. They can lose their job, their kid can get pulled out of school, and that has ripple effects all through the community,” Leiserson said. “When you destabilize households, it leads to increases in crime. All of these compounding problems make it so hard for that person to climb all the way back up that cliff. I think of this program as holding out a hand right before they fall.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/24/nashville-expanding-access-free-eviction-support-services-help-people-stay-their-homes/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Brendan Tierney","publishDate":"2026-06-24T00:06:25.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FCWJNBRBLFBG5HKGDMDGNC4ADNA.png%3Fauth%3D1f9258a5601c41c338239f50037bd19e142181da62045aa8cbaf806a69e17aaf%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"nashville-expanding-access-to-free-eviction-support-services-to-help-people-stay-in-their-homes"},{"id":"k44pof","title":"Nashville Shores waterpark sold to out-of-state company for more than $12 million","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A state and federal investigation found continuous CPR was not performed immediately before a 60-year-old man died at a Springfield nursing home, according to a report obtained after his daughter filed a complaint.Jay Kritsch was supposed to stay at The Waters of Springfield for a couple of weeks while working through complications from cirrhosis with medication, his daughter, Olivia Kritsch, said. She said he was stable when he was admitted in January 2026.“I saw him almost every day,” Olivia said.On Feb. 5, 2026, after 17 days in the facility’s care, Olivia said she woke up to multiple voicemails from The Waters. One voicemail asked her to call the facility. When she returned the call, she was told her father had died.Daughter sought timeline after father’s deathOlivia said she could not get a clear timeline from the facility about when staff last checked on her father or how they reacted after finding him.“In my initial conversation with the administrator and director of nursing, I couldn’t get anyone to commit to a timeline,” Olivia said.Her father was found unconscious and bleeding in his bathroom.Olivia filed records requests through Robertson County EMS and received a copy of the nursing facility’s 911 call.“We have a gentleman that was trying to go to the bathroom, fell over and hit his head, and is not responsive,” a caller said during the 911 call.Olivia said the call was a breakthrough. She said her father was part of a “full code list,” meaning that if he was found without a pulse, nurses on-site were instructed to do everything they could to revive him.“I was told CPR was performed until EMS arrived,” Olivia said.Report found CPR was not done when Jay Kritsch was first foundDuring the 911 call, the nurse said she was not in the room with Olivia’s father. Dispatch asked the nurse to call back from the bathroom where he was found to confirm whether CPR was being done.“911,” the dispatcher said.“He’s gone,” the caller said.“I’m sorry?” the dispatcher said.“He’s definitely gone,” the caller said.Olivia said the words and what she described as a lack of urgency led her to file a complaint through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, triggering a state and federal investigation.A report dated a few weeks after her father’s death found CPR was never performed, Olivia said.“It became very clear, in black and white, CPR was never performed on my father,” she said.The report states that the failure to provide continued CPR left Olivia’s father’s health and safety in immediate jeopardy. The facility was federally fined more than $23,000.Olivia said she was unaware of the fine but said her father’s life should not carry a price.“I want them to be held accountable,” she said.The Waters of Springfield also was fined more than $9,000 in 2023 for a federal violation after a resident left the property unsupervised.Facility declined interviewOlivia said she wants families in Robertson County and surrounding areas to know about what happened before choosing a facility for a loved one.The Waters of Springfield declined an interview. The facility said the administrator, director of nursing and licensed practical nurse who made the 911 call are no longer employed there.The facility said the safety, dignity and well-being of its residents remain its priority.Olivia said she wishes that mission had been upheld while the facility cared for her father.“I will always wonder what could have happened if my father was found in a timely manner and if CPR was performed,” she said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/state-report-finds-proper-life-saving-measures-were-not-performed-before-nursing-home-residents-death/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Sarah Allen","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:56:22.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FXVKIQ4F7T5D73MOLVCLF6W5LTA.png%3Fauth%3De383ee88506877557317ee78593bb91e3817029f725a58c6b09a21cd5737ea89%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"state-report-finds-proper-life-saving-measures-were-not-performed-before-nursing-home-residents-deat"},{"id":"hbi711","title":"Remembering the Nashville impact of record executive Clive Davis","excerpt":"Legendary record executive Clive Davis died at 94-years-old.

It's people like Davis.Vassar first arrived to Nashville in the 80s. He was gigging in bars and then his own nightclub, hoping to break in to the music business. Through it all he knew the name Clive Davis.\"I know all the stuff Clive had done, especially because of Barry Manilow,\" Davis said.\"He'd signed Bruce Springsteen.\"I couldn't begin to name all the artists Davis signed. They included Janis Joplin, Billy Joel, and this very major one.\"When Whitney Houston came out, I heard her sing and was like, 'oh my God, that's the best singer I've ever heard!\" said Vassar.It was incredible for Vassar when in 1989 Davis co-founded Arista Nashville.\"I signed my record contract with Arista last July, exactly a year ago,\" Alan Jackson told Talk of the Town in a 1990 interview.\"Arista's known for their pop artists,\" interviewer Harry Chapman said to Jackson.\"Yes sir, I was the first country act,\" Jackson said. \"It's just a little experiment.\"\"It was amazing cause Arista was on fire,\" Vassar remembered.The roster grew with Pam Tillis, and it kept going.\"Those guys in Brooks & Dunn just blew my mind,\" Vassar said. \"Arista just seemed like the place. I wanted to be on that label so bad.\"Vassar had written a bunch of hits for artists including Alan Jackson when he got the chance to meet Davis.\"Clive was such a huge fan of songwriters,\" Vassar remembered. \"He knew every song I'd written for every artist when I met him. He said, 'you gotta have great songs, you gotta have great songs.' It was always about the song with him.\"Vassar was later signed to Arista Nashville in 1999.By the time Vassar started appearing at Fan Fair, the impact of the years of Arista Nashville was felt. Now Vassar had fans lined up.\"It was such a cool time,\" Vassar said. \"The energy in Nashville was huge.\"Sony Music Nashville dissolved the Arista Nashville imprint in 2023.\"Clive didn't mess around,\" Vassar said, remembering Davis. \"He made it happen. He was the king. He was the record guy. He was so passionate about music. That was his passion. It was great artistry, great writers, great artists, great singers.

(WSMV) - The meteorological summer began June 1, but the hottest days of the year are still ahead. Pets can be at risk from summer heat, especially when it comes to hot pavement.Many people assume that if the air temperature is comfortable enough for a walk, the ground must be too. But surfaces exposed to direct sunlight can become much hotter than the air temperature.Grass tends to stay cooler because of moisture and evaporation, while concrete and asphalt absorb and hold heat. Asphalt, in particular, can become hot enough to burn a dog’s paw pads.Surface temperatures can rise quicklyWhen the air temperature reaches 85 degrees, grass may be around 88 degrees, concrete about 105 degrees and asphalt about 130 degrees.At those temperatures, a dog’s paw pads can be burned in less than a minute.Even on days when the air temperature is in the upper 70s or lower 80s, pavement temperatures can still be hot enough to cause discomfort or injury.How to protect pets from hot pavementVeterinarians recommend using the “seven-second test.” Place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your dog’s paws.To keep pets safe this summer:Walk dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when surfaces have had time to cool.Choose grassy routes whenever possible.Bring water for you and your pet.Watch for signs of overheated paws, including limping, licking the feet or refusing to walk.Consider protective booties for longer walks on hot days.A quick pavement temperature check before heading out can help protect dogs from paw injuries during summer heat.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/hot-pavement-can-burn-dogs-paws-less-than-minute/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Lisa Spencer","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:47:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FP7EOWRGDZVDMVOXYFMHHXJ6VFA.png%3Fauth%3D9623022d98f782e542b6600ddf695baa028a327c5ae2af02864f5430dee96eaa%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"hot-pavement-can-burn-dogs-paws-in-less-than-a-minute"},{"id":"yuc1u","title":"SCOTUS blocks lawsuit over forced head-shaving in prison","excerpt":"WASHINGTON (Gray DC) -The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that a devout Rastafarian man cannot sue Louisiana prison officials, who forcibly shaved off his dreadlocks while he was incarcerated.In a 6-3 opinion along ideological lines, the court’s majority found that former Louisiana prison inmate D...","content":"WASHINGTON (Gray DC) -The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that a devout Rastafarian man cannot sue Louisiana prison officials, who forcibly shaved off his dreadlocks while he was incarcerated.In a 6-3 opinion along ideological lines, the court’s majority found that former Louisiana prison inmate Damon Landor cannot continue with his religious rights lawsuit, stemming from his 2020 sentence, because it hinged on a law connected to Congress’s Spending Clause authority.“Mr. Landor does not have a federal RLUIPA (Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act) cause of action against the officers. Under the Spending Clause, Congress lacks regulatory authority to impose liability on them directly and must depend instead on consent,” he wrote.The court’s three liberal justices disagreed, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writing in the dissenting opinion, “As for RLUIPA itself, the consequences are more predictable. Prisoners like Landor who suffer violations of their religious freedom in state prisons—no matter how blatant—will often be left remediless.”Richard Garnett, the director Notre Dame Law School’s Program on Church, State & Society, said the court’s decision means that prison officials will be less inclined to respect religious freedom rights of inmates.“This ruling will reduce the incentives of state-prison officials and employees to respect inmates’ religious-liberty rights and leave prisoners whose religious freedom is violated without meaningful remedies for those violations,” he said.After the ruling, Landor said in a statement, “I am disappointed but not defeated. What happened to me violated my faith and my dignity. I will continue pursuing accountability. What happened to me should not happen to anyone else.”One of Landor’s attorneys, Zack Tripp, said he was disappointed in the decision but pointed out a silver lining in it.“We are encouraged by the awareness the case has raised about this important issue, and we are deeply thankful for the support Damon received in this fight,” said Tripp. “Damon succeeded in generating real change, including in Louisiana, which revised its grooming policies in response to this case.”Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill (R-LA) said in a statement that the state has “taken steps to prevent this problem from recurring.”“Religious liberty is deeply important, and Louisiana has laws on the books protecting it,” she said. “...we are grateful the Court agreed with the State in this matter.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/supreme-court-blocks-suit-over-prison-guards-forced-shave/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Stetson Miller","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:29:04.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FNYUAQDKIT5AZ5PGY6NQ3P7YCWQ.jpg%3Fauth%3De37f475adb81a28f89e0acab4a7e903f12ab98c65a20d2c7bc00de290ce22658%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"scotus-blocks-lawsuit-over-forced-head-shaving-in-prison"},{"id":"a2fdrr","title":"Blaise Taylor murder trial begins with opening statements","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - Opening statements began Tuesday in the murder trial of Blaise Taylor, a former Titans scout accused of poisoning his pregnant girlfriend, 25-year-old Jade Benning.Taylor is facing two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder.Prosecutors and the defense focused on the night of Feb. 25, 2023, when Taylor called 911 and said Benning appeared to be having an allergic reaction.Benning was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she was placed on life support until March 6.During opening statements, prosecutors and the defense described Benning and Taylor’s relationship. They said the two met on a dating app and began dating in August 2022 while seeing other people.Prosecutors said Benning learned she was pregnant in November 2022 and told Taylor, who was reportedly not interested in being a father. Prosecutors said the two then went their separate ways.The defense said Taylor and Benning began dating again in January to get to know each other because they could possibly be parents.Prosecutors said Benning planned a date night at her home with Taylor on Feb. 25 while she was five months pregnant. During the night, Benning’s friend Nijaiha Jackson stopped by with another friend, Keyaunte Jones. Prosecutors said the two stayed for about 30 minutes and leftAbout an hour and a half later, prosecutors said Benning called Jackson and did not sound like herself. Prosecutors said Benning said someone put something in her drink. The defense argued Benning never said Taylor did it.“Jade Benning last words. What did you put in my drink. I knew my drink tasted funny. You did this this because you didn’t want the baby,” the prosecution argued.“When Jade is making accusations per Nijaiha, Nijaiha sends a text back saying are you talking to me, so when Jade is making the accusations Nijaiha’s response is are you talking to me,” the defense said.The defense said Jackson never called 911 after getting off the phone with Benning.Taylor called 911 and said Benning was having some sort of allergic reaction after prosecutors said he called his father first.Prosecutors said Benning had a level of cocaine in her system that was higher than anything seen before in any overdose death. Prosecutors said Benning died of acute cocaine toxicity after she was taken off life support on March 6. A medic who responded to Benning’s apartment said in court that Benning was found face down on her bed with pink foam around her mouth.The defense said that while Taylor stayed at the hospital, one of Jackson’s friends went back to the apartment.“Even though they weren’t supposed to go in there intentionally, she removed items out of the apartment. She locked it up and she brought Jade’s purse and ID to the hospital. When police went back to the scene, they said the crime scene was contaminated,” a defense attorney said.Beyond Benning’s purse and ID, attorneys did not say whether anything else was taken from Benning’s apartment.Prosecutors said that before Benning’s death, Taylor asked an ex-girlfriend if she was able to get an abortion pill to put in another girl’s drink.The trial is expected to continue through the rest of the week.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/blaise-taylor-murder-trial-begins-with-opening-statements/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Amber Jayanth","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:24:35.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FADSL5M7WMVF3JCS6WSBLHOH52Q.jpg%3Fauth%3D604ab6acb6c99d6e635fd6d5b5c96554972121e241f9417c4c7f908a8f7b3bc0%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"blaise-taylor-murder-trial-begins-with-opening-statements"},{"id":"zcacvx","title":"Former Haywood County deputy indicted on rape, misconduct charges","excerpt":"A former Haywood County Sheriff's Office deputy has been indicted on charges including rape, attempted rape, official misconduct, and tampering with evidence following a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe.According to the TBI, agents began investigating allegations involving Marvin Lee Norfo...","content":"A former Haywood County Sheriff's Office deputy has been indicted on charges including rape, attempted rape, official misconduct, and tampering with evidence following a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe.According to the TBI, agents began investigating allegations involving Marvin Lee Norfolk Sr., 63, in August 2025 at the request of 28th Judicial District Attorney General Frederick Agee.

The ruling was a big victory for the Republican administration, which views the expansion of so-called expedited removal as a key tool for carrying out its mass deportation policy.Expedited removal  quick deportation without a chance to appear before a judge  has previously been applied to migrants arriving by sea or caught at or near the border shortly after crossing.In January, Trump expanded its use to undocumented migrants all over the United States. Immigration agents began whisking migrants away from courthouses where they had gone for immigration proceedings and then removing them from the country within days.The Trump administrations push for fast-track deportations will subject people to an unfair and error-prone system, Anand Balakrishnan, senior staff attorney with the ACLUs Immigrants Rights Project, said in a statement.Balakrishnan represented plaintiffs in arguments before the appellate panel and said its ruling undermines the fundamental principle that people receive due process when the government seeks to deport them.DC Circuit Judge Justin R. Walker, one of the judges on the panel, said the plaintiffs had not shown the expanded use of expedited removal violated due process rights. Immigrants received notice of removal proceedings and were given a chance to respond, he wrote in his opinion.Walker and the second judge in the majority, Neomi Rao, were appointed by Trump. The third judge on the panel was appointed by President Barack Obama, a Democrat.Walker said there was no requirement that the administration inform immigrants that they can avoid expedited removal if they can show they have been in the United States for more than two years.\"The constitutional requirement is notice of the action the government is taking and the grounds for it, plus an opportunity to respond,\" he wrote, adding that the plaintiffs' contrary reasoning would require immigration officers to provide what amounts to legal advice.Walker and Rao vacated an order by U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb that put the expanded use of expedited removal on hold. Cobb, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, a Democrat, ruled in August that the administration had not developed procedures to ensure migrants were not wrongly deported under the expedited process.The plaintiffs had put forward substantial evidence\" that the expedited removal process, on the contrary, carried a high risk of error when applied more broadly, Cobb said. The ruling cited examples of people who had lived in the U.S. for far longer than two years but were still ordered to be removed in expedited proceedings.In his opinion, Walker acknowledged evidence of such errors, but said they resulted from individual officers failure to follow the law  not defects in the written directives under review or the procedures they incorporate.The Trump administration has argued that its expansion of expedited removal includes protections to prevent arbitrary removal. In a court filing in October, Justice Department attorneys said Cobb's ruling was an egregious error that was depriving the administration of an essential tool to combat the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration over the past few years and efficiently deport potentially millions of people.Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.

President Donald Trump’s administration has not said whether it will appeal to a higher court.U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who sits in Washington and was nominated to the bench by former President Barack Obama, said in her opinion that the ruling was because the federal government did not follow its own definition of “food.” She said it wasn’t a comment on whether the restrictions are a good idea.“The federal defendants and the states may have a genuine desire to improve the health of SNAP households by encouraging healthy choices at the store, and they can take lawful steps to meet those goals,” she wrote. “But what they cannot do is violate the law and their own regulations along the way.”The restrictions are part of the Make America Healthy Again campaignAgriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have encouraged states to limit what the food aid can be used to buy as part of the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign.They reason that soda and candy fuel obesity, diabetes and chronic disease epidemics — and taking them off the menu would encourage healthier food choices.The Agriculture Department has given 23 states so far permission to implement restrictions. Some have been implemented already, while others are queued to take effect in the coming months and years.At least one state that was set to limit soda and candy purchases changed course earlier this year. Colorado’s human services board voted against implementing the ban after a March hearing in which SNAP beneficiaries and advocates said people would face stigmas if they mistakenly tried to use the benefits on prohibited items. They also said the rules were confusing because they would have allowed buying drinks with at least 50% fruit or vegetable juice, but not those with less.While the goals are similar, the exact rules vary by state. Some wanted to ban both sugary drinks and candy, while others only sought to ban sugary beverages.A legal challenge to the candy and soda ban — which includes items such as sports drinks in some states — was filed by SNAP beneficiaries in Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Tennessee and West Virginia.Judge says government ignored a definition of foodJackson said the main legal misstep in restricting what SNAP benefits could buy came because it ran contrary to Congress’s definition of “food.”Under the law, SNAP benefits — formerly known as food stamps — can be used for “any food or food product for home consumption except alcoholic beverages, tobacco, hot foods or hot food products ready for immediate consumption.”The government can waive requirements, but limiting use of the benefits to improve nutrition isn’t listed as a reason to do so. Yet when states asked the Agriculture Department to let them restrict purchases, their requests included using alternate definitions of “food.”This may not be the final wordRollins suggested on social media Tuesday that the administration would “keep fighting to Make America Health Again,” though she did not say directly whether there would be an appeal. Rollins said “an activist judge just blocked our commonsense restriction on using SNAP benefits for soda and junk.”The case is among scores of challenges to Trump administration policies that hinge on whether the administration has the authority to change policies without congressional approval.While it’s a big program helping nearly 39 million Americans — about 1 in 9 — buy groceries, SNAP is normally relatively low-profile. That’s been different since Trump returned to office last year.Under his big tax and policy law signed last year, more recipients are subject to work requirements and states are being required to pay a larger share of administrative costs — and could be on the hook for benefit costs if their error rates are too high.During a government shutdown last year, courts blocked the administration from cutting off benefits. Meanwhile, Rollins has said that there’s rampant fraud in the program.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/judge-rules-government-cant-stop-snap-dollars-buying-candy-sugary-drinks/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"GEOFF MULVIHILL","publishDate":"2026-06-23T22:48:43.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FZMNPPAGNMVGCJPJBTGAEE2EQWA.jpg%3Fauth%3De256f9d123706ba137638b8192829963494f37c16c91f33c816e770bfb4ba461%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"judge-rules-government-cant-stop-snap-dollars-from-buying-candy-and-sugary-drinks"},{"id":"gvhqiy","title":"Man wins $10 million slot jackpot in Las Vegas after playing machine for just 3 minutes","excerpt":"LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) — A Las Vegas visitor is heading home a multimillionaire after hitting a massive jackpot.The unidentified tourist from Atlanta was said to have won a jackpot worth $10,292,912.32 while playing an IGT Megabucks machine at the Westgate Las Vegas hotel-casino.

(WBTV/Gray News) - Authorities in North Carolina say a mother is facing numerous charges following a crash that resulted in the death of her children. According to Fayetteville police, the crash happened on June 3 when officers were trying to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle that was being driven by 31-year-old Megan Symone Scott. Authorities say Scott sped away and hit two officers, reaching speeds of 111 mph before losing control of her vehicle and crashing into a tree. An affidavit stated that the 31-year-old mother ended up being thrown from the car, along with two of the kids who were inside. Those children were pronounced dead at the scene and a third was airlifted to a hospital, but they also did not survive. Scott was said to have gotten into an argument with her boyfriend earlier that day and she bit him while driving. The mother then reportedly hit him with the car after he got out. Police said they were trying to stop Scott following the reported assault involving her boyfriend. Court records showed Scott was arrested on June 15 and has been in the Cumberland County jail since.She faces a long list of charges that include involuntary manslaughter, failure to secure passengers under 16 years old, reckless driving and driving with a revoked license. Scott appeared in Cumberland County court on June 18 and was denied bond and appointed a public defender.Court documents said Scott had recently moved to the Fayetteville area before the crash after previously living in Texas and California.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/3-kids-killed-crash-after-mom-drives-111-mph-hits-tree-trying-escape-police-document-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Luke Tucker, Jordan Gartner","publishDate":"2026-06-23T22:29:51.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FNV37IORNJREYZO7PLILYQ7JW3E.png%3Fauth%3Dc2ecabd507e8e4f0a61ff345a7c3556154e1b3c0918b1b5fcc8fcd7a9fee276b%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"3-kids-killed-in-crash-after-mom-drives-111-mph-hits-a-tree-trying-to-escape-police-document-says"},{"id":"al6n8q","title":"Electric Python Battles Pinball Demon, Plans Release Party","excerpt":"Check out the video for the metalheads’ ‘Last Chance’ and catch them in action at The 5 Spot","content":"Check out the video for the metalheads’ ‘Last Chance’ and catch them in action at The 5 Spot","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/music/nashvillecream/electric-python-speed-demon-release-party/article_bf15c5e3-1184-419d-aab8-6f2333892d29.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"Stephen Trageser","publishDate":"2026-06-18T20:11:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2Fb%2Ff1%2Fbf15c5e3-1184-419d-aab8-6f2333892d29%2F6a344e3330e4b.preview.png%3Fcrop%3D936%252C491%252C0%252C5","slug":"electric-python-battles-pinball-demon-plans-release-party"},{"id":"29w31v","title":"Jason Isbell Taps Memphis Talent for 2026 Ryman Run","excerpt":"Six-night October residency features Ben Nichols, Amy LaVere, Southern Avenue, more","content":"Six-night October residency features Ben Nichols, Amy LaVere, Southern Avenue, more","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/music/nashvillecream/jason-isbell-ryman-residency-2026-memphis-bands/article_97d9b658-23ba-4b59-8f74-b9c60cc888b2.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"Stephen Trageser","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:44:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2F5%2F64%2F5643d8f0-ee47-44da-944b-648414ba42d8%2F67e19afc22fda.image.jpg%3Fcrop%3D1174%252C660%252C0%252C547%26resize%3D300%252C169%26order%3Dcrop%252Cresize","slug":"jason-isbell-taps-memphis-talent-for-2026-ryman-run"},{"id":"u5mfc4","title":"Hattie B’s Prepares to Open New Outpost in East Nashville","excerpt":"Gallatin Avenue chicken spot will open next week","content":"Gallatin Avenue chicken spot will open next week","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/food_drink/bites/hattie-bs-east-nashville/article_8a6f4471-03fc-419f-82ea-c586f464764e.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"Chris Chamberlain","publishDate":"2026-06-18T14:30:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2Ff%2F5e%2Ff5e07eaf-b739-4f24-ad1d-823564cc60ed%2F6a32e9fa8cb47.image.jpg%3Fcrop%3D1176%252C663%252C4%252C41%26resize%3D300%252C169%26order%3Dcrop%252Cresize","slug":"hattie-bs-prepares-to-open-new-outpost-in-east-nashville"},{"id":"136ddz","title":"The Human League’s Philip Oakey on the Fabric of Pop Music","excerpt":"Ahead of the group’s appearance at the Grand Ole Opry House, a discussion about art in dialogue and interwoven threads of influence","content":"Ahead of the group’s appearance at the Grand Ole Opry House, a discussion about art in dialogue and interwoven threads of influence","url":"https://www.nashvillescene.com/music/features/human-league-philip-oakey-interview/article_a9fe96aa-5915-4648-a4ca-777428b8fe34.html","source":"Nashville Scene (alt-weekly)","author":"Jason Shawhan","publishDate":"2026-06-18T10:00:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com%2Fnashvillescene.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2Fb%2F0b%2Fb0bd2421-7044-4d17-8e7d-a5b37fc13e77%2F6a31aa05a5113.image.jpg%3Fresize%3D300%252C225","slug":"the-human-leagues-philip-oakey-on-the-fabric-of-pop-music"},{"id":"j4re4m","title":"Murder trial begins for former Titans scout Blaise Taylor in Nashville","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A jury has been set, and the murder trial for a former college football player and Titans scout will begin in a Nashville courtroom on Tuesday.Blaise Taylor is accused of poisoning his girlfriend, 25-year-old Jade Benning, on Feb. 25, 2023. She was pregnant at the time, and Taylor is alleged to have been the father.Taylor allegedly called 911 after the poisoning, saying that his girlfriend appeared to have had an allergic reaction. She was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center by ambulance.The fetus died days later, and Benning died on March 6, before police could interview her about what happened.Months later, Taylor was charged in their deaths and was arrested on March 26, 2024. During a hearing in April 2024, a medical examiner testified that excessive amounts of cocaine were found in Benning’s system, too much to infer recreational drug use.Taylor faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder. The trial will be heard by Judge Steve Dozier in a Davidson County criminal courtroom on Tuesday, beginning at 9 a.m.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/murder-trial-begins-former-titans-scout-blaise-taylor-nashville/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Tony Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:55:45.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FIEV2MPIX75ARFCSKGBNLV735ME.jpg%3Fauth%3D044e78d15ca9442796fb7169398d1355ab5c50017f5e6a675d1b709fe6c9cfa6%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"murder-trial-begins-for-former-titans-scout-blaise-taylor-in-nashville"},{"id":"bokr0m","title":"Clarksville budget fails on first reading for a third time","excerpt":"Although they say “the third time’s the charm,” that wasn’t the case Monday night when the latest version of the city's budget was shot down. It’s a plan they're supposed to have finalized by June 30.","content":"Although they say “the third time’s the charm,” that wasn’t the case Monday night when the latest version of the city's budget was shot down. It’s a plan they're supposed to have finalized by June 30.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/clarksville/clarksville-budget-fails-first-reading-for-third-time/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Nikki McGee","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:50:58.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FClarksville.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"clarksville-budget-fails-on-first-reading-for-a-third-time"},{"id":"clpi7b","title":"'A race to the finish': Metro Council members push for new restrictions on data centers in Nashville","excerpt":"Now, with a proposed data center near the Nashville Zoo moving through the permitting process, Metro Council members are pushing new regulations that could limit where these centers are built.","content":"Now, with a proposed data center near the Nashville Zoo moving through the permitting process, Metro Council members are pushing new regulations that could limit where these centers are built.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/metro-council-members-push-restrictions-data-centers-nashville/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Katelyn Quisenberry","publishDate":"2026-06-23T23:22:09.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2026%2F06%2FWEB_00423e.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"a-race-to-the-finish-metro-council-members-push-for-new-restrictions-on-data-centers-in-nashville"},{"id":"f38jz0","title":"3 Cumberland County men indicted after 3 separate arson investigations","excerpt":"In the span of less than 24 hours, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced three different men had been charged in connection with three separate fires in Cumberland County.","content":"In the span of less than 24 hours, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced three different men had been charged in connection with three separate fires in Cumberland County.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/3-cumberland-county-men-indicted-after-3-separate-arson-investigations/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Colleen Guerry","publishDate":"2026-06-23T19:48:03.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2017%2F08%2Fflames1_37380345_ver1.0.jpg%3Fw%3D640","slug":"3-cumberland-county-men-indicted-after-3-separate-arson-investigations"},{"id":"f7a6ty","title":"Family mourns 12-year-old killed in downtown Nashville shooting","excerpt":"Loved ones said they're struggling to come to terms with the death of Damarion Morehead, who was shot and killed during a fight near the intersection of Rep.

He ran toward the bench and celebrated with his teammates after the score.He scored again in the 39th minute when he got a pass from Bruno Fernandes and shot with his right foot just inside the near post to make the score 3-0.Ronaldo was named man of the match.The goals make him the second-oldest player to score at a World Cup behind Cameroon forward Roger Milla, who was 42 when he scored at the 1994 tournament in the United States.Ronaldo’s goals come after he was criticized for failing to score in Portugal’s 1-1 draw against Congo in the team’s opening match.Ronaldo and Argentina captain Lionel Messi became the only men in history to play in six World Cup tournaments this year. Ronaldo’s scoring streak started in his debut in 2006 and he also netted goals in 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022.While he shares the record for most tournaments with Messi, he stands alone in scoring a goal in each edition after Messi failed to score a goal at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.Ronaldo’s goals Tuesday gave him 10 career goals in the tournament. Messi has 18 after a hat trick in Argentina’s opener against Algeria and two more goals Monday against Austria that made him the all-time leading scorer in tournament history.His performance extended his record by giving him 145 international goals, and his 10 career goals in the World Cup moved him past Eusébio’s nine to make him Portugal’s all-time scoring leader at the tournament.Tuesday’s game was the 230th of Ronaldo’s international career, which is the most in history.This is likely to be the final World Cup for Ronaldo, who won the European Championship with Portugal in 2016 and the Champions League five times with Manchester United and Real Madrid.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/fifa-world-cup","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/ronaldo-becomes-first-player-score-six-world-cups-with-two-goals-against-uzbekistan/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"KRISTIE RIEKEN","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:51:35.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FFTEX5PUEPFGJ3H4DSQQSMUKLAI.jpg%3Fauth%3D829c7c288023a260f35f4dfae77757df69c8bf383459c139bd80e9b809583251%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"ronaldo-becomes-first-player-to-score-in-six-world-cups-with-two-goals-against-uzbekistan"},{"id":"yyzrd0","title":"‘It’s scary.’ Clarksville neighbors on alert after shooting damages cars, homes","excerpt":"CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.

Fletcher Heritage House Museum, where artifacts tell the story of the House of God and the leaders behind it, including Mother Tate.\"She started the church and became known as the first founder of the Holiness movement in the United States,\" Ravenell said.The museum traces the denomination's roots to the early 1900s, with displays that bring its founding figures to life.The movement born in North Nashville still draws thousands back each year, with many staying on the church campus. Clary Butler Jr., the church's executive director, said the annual conference serves both a practical and spiritual purpose.\"All our churches come together and we come together every year for this annual conference and the whole purpose to take care of business and spiritual purpose,\" Butler said.But as the church's footprint in the neighborhood grew, Butler said some neighbors questioned what all that property meant for the surrounding community.\"We wanted property for seniors, children, a gym But most of our group doesn't live here. We come in for our conference and go back to Charleston and Georgia,\" Butler said.Church leaders realized owning property wasn't enough  they needed to invest in the neighborhood itself. This year's conference ends with a block party to bring neighbors and church members together.\"We want to know our brothers and sisters in the Nashville area  because a church isn't just about helping members. It's supposed to engage the community,\" Butler said.The event is part of a new initiative called Elevate North Nashville, focused on affordable housing, neighborhood improvement and social services. Michael Randolph is the project lead for the initiative.\"Our objective is to build affordable housing, better the neighborhood, and bring social services to improve the 37208 community,\" Randolph said.Some housing projects are already taking shape  a modern continuation of the vision that started more than a century ago.\"She started this movement and as a result, people founded churches all over the world under the House of God,\" Ravenell said.The free block party is Sunday at the House of God, starting at 1 p.m., with food, activities, music and more.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.

Opening statements were delivered on the first day of what is expected to be a multi-day trial.Taylor faces multiple murder charges in connection with the 2023 deaths of Benning, who was 5 months pregnant at the time. Taylor is believed to be the father of the unborn child.The prosecution and defense presented sharply different accounts of the relationship between Taylor and Benning, and of the events of Feb. 25, 2023.Assistant District Attorney Jan Norman told the jury that Benning and Taylor were casually dating when Benning discovered she was pregnant. While Taylor was not ready to be a father, Benning was preparing for motherhood. Norman said Benning tried to build a relationship with Taylor, inviting him and friends to her apartment that February.Benning's doctor testified she was going to have a girl. That night, Benning invited friends over to cook dinner and paint canvases to hang in the baby's room. Police say Taylor spiked Benning's drink with cocaine while they were together.When the friends left, Benning and Taylor were alone in the apartment. Prosecutors say Benning frantically called her friends, telling them she believed she had been poisoned before slipping into unconsciousness.Norman described what prosecutors say were some of Benning's last words to her friends.\"[Benning said], 'What did you do, I can't feel my legs, I can't walk straight, what did you put in my drink, I knew my drink tasted funny, what's in your hand, show me, show me your pocket,'\" Norman said.Taylor called 911 that night, but told paramedics Benning was having an allergic reaction. An EMT who responded to the apartment testified the call came in as an allergic reaction and that they were surprised to find Benning face down and unconscious.Defense attorney Letitia Quinones-Hollins acknowledged Taylor was not ready to be a father, but argued Benning was using drugs and alcohol during her pregnancy and was dating other men, leaving the question of paternity open.\"She was involved with marijuana, she was involved with Adderall, she was involved with weed cartridges, they call it resin, she was involved with mushrooms,\" Quinones-Hollins said.Quinones-Hollins also challenged the prosecution's theory about the cocaine.\"The experts will tell you it was too much cocaine for Jade to take on her own and too much cocaine for Blaise to have slipped in her drink and her not notice,\" Quinones-Hollins said.Benning's stepmother also took the stand, describing an intense and chaotic scene when she arrived at the hospital as the first family member there.Benning died on March 6, 2023  her 25th birthday. She was 25 years old. Taylor was 27 at the time.The trial is expected to last several days. Upcoming testimony is expected to include medical experts, first responders, Taylor's former romantic partners, and Benning's best friend, Nijaiha Jackson. The trial is also expected to address questions over potential evidence tampering and scrutiny of Taylor's former relationships.Do you have more information about this story?

This is so unfair and horrible,” he continued.David Potts said the baby’s father was driving at the time of the crash. According to Phoenix police, he was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators said they didn’t believe impairment was a factor but did not immediately share whether the driver would be facing any charges in the crash.

Hope Song, whose son Benjamin Song received the heftiest sentence, disputed prosecutors' claims that her son shot the officer and said he didn't intend to hurt anyone.U.S. District Judge Reed OConnor, one of two judges overseeing the proceedings, said what happened wasnt a protest but an assault on democracy.The need to deter this type of conduct is high, OConnor said.The seven other protesters received prison terms ranging from 30 to 70 years.RELATED STORY | Newark imposes curfew around immigration detention center following clashesProsecutors said the eight are members of antifa, a decentralized anti-fascist organization and a target of the Trump administration. Antifa is not a single organization but rather an umbrella term for far-left militant groups that confront or resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations.President Donald Trump last fall signed an executive order designating antifa a domestic terrorist organization, even though there is no domestic equivalent to the State Departments list of foreign terror organizations.The defendants deny any affiliation with antifa and maintain they attended the demonstration in support of detained immigrants.Prosecutor Frank Gatto urged the judge to impose stiff penalties.People with that kind of extremist beliefs need extra time in prison, Gatto said. They believe violence is justified.Phillip Hayes, Songs attorney, said outside the courthouse that he takes issue with the idea that the protesters are extremists.\"This is a bunch of kids and young adults who really have a really big heart and really wanted their voice to be heard, Hayes said. It was never intended that anybody get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.RELATED STORY | 15 charged with impeding federal agents during Minnesota immigration crackdownProsecutors said in court that Song had yelled get to the rifles and opened fire, striking a police officer who had just pulled up to the center.Hayes argued that Songs shots were suppressive fire and that a ricochet bullet hit the officer after he arrived on the scene and aggressively pulled out his firearm. He said his client will appeal the 100-year sentence.Song, aside from this day, has had an impeccable life. A former Marine. A good student, Hayes said. He had a lot of good qualities that were just ignored. The judge went ahead and gave as much as he could.Other defendants and their family members pleaded for leniency in court.Autumn Hill said the gathering seemed more like a party to me than anything else\" and that she and others who participated \"didnt expect or want any violence or destruction of property to occur.Amber Lowrey told the judge that her sister, Savanna Batten, is a compassionate person with dreams of opening a bakery. She said Batten's activism started with animal rights and evolved into anti-war and human rights advocacy.Shes the best person I know, Lowrey said.Hill and Batten both received 50-year sentences.Other defendants previously pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists rather than take their case to trial.Critics warn the case could have wide-reaching impact on protests given that organizations operating within the U.S. are supposed to be protected by First Amendment free-speech rights.Last week, federal prosecutors charged 15 people with impeding the Trump administrations immigration crackdown in Minnesota. They claimed the demonstrators were members of antifa who conspired against the federal government to block arrests and deportations by setting up blockades around government buildings and throwing chunks of ice at federal vehicles, among other actions.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/politics/immigration/8-convicted-in-texas-immigration-center-shooting-and-protest-are-sentenced-to-decades-in-prison","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:32:06.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Fcddeea1%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F4032x2117%2B0%2B286%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F21%252Fd8%252F8b634a964dce970320e3c1fba259%252Fap26174579674281.jpg","inBriefing":true,"slug":"8-convicted-in-texas-immigration-center-shooting-and-protest-are-sentenced-to-decades-in-prison"},{"id":"738vvs","title":"Tennessee addiction centers prepare for influx of kratom users ahead of the July 1 statewide ban","excerpt":"Kratom, a product sold at gas stations and smoke shops across Tennessee, will be illegal to sell or consume in the state starting July 1 under a new law passed this legislative session.State Rep.

Esther Helton-Haynes (R-Hamilton County) pushed for the ban, calling kratom dangerous. \"And is often referred to as gas station heroin,\" Helton-Haynes said.Dr. Louis Lerebours, medical director at Freeman Recovery Center, says kratom is widely available and often used by people looking for a quick boost. \"You go in, you look for something for energy, you're looking for something that gives you that little bit of pick-me-up,\" Lerebours said.Some individuals struggling with addiction use kratom as an opioid substitute  but Lerebours says that comes with serious risks. \"They're not realizing that it does cause some significant dependence and if you stop, you will develop withdrawal symptoms and cravings much like most of our other opiate products,\" Lerebours said.Dr. Nick Conley of Apex Recovery testified during debate on the bill that his facility has already been seeing more patients for this issue. \"We are seeing a distinct uptick in the amount of kratom treatment coming through our facility,\" Conley said.Not everyone supported the ban. Kratom users pushed back, arguing it serves as a helpful tool for some in recovery. Sela Bruce, a kratom user, testified that the product has made a meaningful difference in her life. \"I started drinking kratom a little over a year ago, and the positive impact on my life has been drastic. I now have an outlet that does not jeopardize my sobriety,\" Bruce said.Despite the opposition, the ban passed.Lerebours says the FDA does not recognize kratom as having any legitimate medical usage, but he warns the transition period following the ban could be difficult for those who have become dependent on it. \"That's going to increase the number of patients that we see in facilities like this one,\" Lerebours said.He also worries some users could turn to harder drugs. \"There isn't any life threatening withdrawal but it can be very uncomfortable,\" Lerebours said.Lerebours encourages anyone who uses kratom to seek professional help before the ban takes effect. \"Don't suffer in silence. There's help, we're equipped to help,\" Lerebours said.Treatment ResourcesThere are several area addiction recovery centers that specializes in kratom detox and opioid recovery. There's the Tennessee Detox Center in La Vergne, Freeman Recovery Center in Dickson, Cumberland Heights in Nashville, and Apex Recovery with several locations across Tennessee.If you'd like more general support, you can always call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and get referrals for the right assistance.Do you have more information about this story?

Instead, they put him on immigration parole as if he were someone “seeking admission” to the U.S., rather than a green card holder simply returning home. That designation made it easier for the government to begin removal proceedings.Lau argued the government should have been required to possess clear and convincing evidence that he had committed a qualifying crime before making that determination. At the time of his return, immigration officials had criminal charges and an indictment against him, but not a conviction.Ultimately, the high court disagreed with Lau’s argument.“Border officers did not have the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Lau had committed a crime involving moral turpitude,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the opinion.The Trump administration argued requiring that level of proof at the border would be impractical and that immigration officials should be allowed to rely on evidence developed later in the process.The Court concluded immigration officials do not need to have all of their evidence at the border and can instead rely on information developed later during immigration proceedings.In their dissent, the Court’s three liberal justices argued the government should have to justify its decision based on what officials knew when the green card holder arrived in the United States. The dissenters contended the statute Congress wrote requires that determination to be made based on the evidence available at the time of reentry, not evidence gathered afterward.Immigration advocates have warned the ruling could lower the threshold for initiating removal proceedings against some lawful permanent residents. Supporters of the decision, meanwhile, say it gives immigration officials greater flexibility to enforce federal immigration laws.The ruling does not automatically authorize the deportation of green card holders without a conviction. However, critics argue it could make it easier for the government to pursue removal cases before criminal allegations have been fully resolved.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/supreme-court-sides-with-government-green-card-case/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Stephen Goin","publishDate":"2026-06-23T19:42:35.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FNB3GU3VXUVDKVOQCARK3IQZVDM.png%3Fauth%3D52195767c5cf8f43496c9a2daeff1dbf0ca8154ceb6fa66ec5c472f06de45527%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"supreme-court-sides-with-government-in-green-card-case"},{"id":"avu27c","title":"First Alert Traffic: Water main break partially blocks busy road near Nashville airport","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The 55-acre botanical garden, arboretum and art museum lies on property that has been around since 1929. Originally a home, it was converted into a museum and botanical garden in 1960. Today, it serves as a place for visitors to experience festivals, blooms and activities. But Cheekwood says that a group of people has filed a formal legal appeal with the Metro Board of Zoning Appeals seeking to stop construction of an on-site parking facility. Cheekwood says the parking project is mandated by city leaders and is necessary to support their operations. Cheekwood also says the group is “explicitly demanding that the city issue a Stop Work Order to halt all operations and public use of Cheekwood’s property.” “If successful, this action would effectively shutter Cheekwood as we know it,” the estate and gardens said. “It would prohibit public access, halt all programming that Nashvillians have made family traditions, and end free educational field trips for thousands of Nashville school children.” Cheekwood neighbors explain their appealNeighbors for Safety BMH, Inc. said in a statement that its members — a group of “hundreds of Belle Meade Highlands residents” — “have tried to engage with Cheekwood in good faith to find solutions that would allow Cheekwood to thrive while protecting the surrounding residential community.” “We value Cheekwood and want it to succeed as one of Nashville’s great cultural institutions,” the group said. “...Receiving notice that blasting was imminent while major expansion continues moving forward without resolving longstanding traffic and safety concerns made clear that continued waiting was not producing solutions.”The group said that its appeal “is not about closing Cheekwood.” “It is about asking Cheekwood to be the same thing neighbors have tried to be for years: a good neighbor,” they said. “We’re not asking Cheekwood to stop growing. We’re asking growth to happen in a way that respects the people who live beside it and are most affected by it.”In an email to its members that was shared with WSMV4, Neighbors for Safety called Cheekwood’s characterizations “inaccurate and unnecessarily divisive.” “The Item A Zoning Appeal is not intended to close Cheekwood,” the email states. “The appeal asks Metro to evaluate whether current expansion is consistent with the approvals, zoning framework, special exception use Order and conditions under which Cheekwood has historically operated—including questions surrounding the property’s R20 zoning classification, prior approvals, and operational limitations.\" Their motive, the group says, is to help reduce dependence on neighborhood streets so that Cheekwood traffic can be moved from Belle Meade Highlands. “If everyone agrees long-term access should ultimately move to Highway 100, why should increased parking and expanded capacity occur before that access exists?” the email says. “Residents should not be asked to absorb increased traffic, congestion, construction impacts, noise, and safety concerns indefinitely while waiting for future infrastructure to catch up.”Cheekwood’s petitionThe Cheekwood Board of Trustees is now asking that the public sign a petition as part of its “Save Cheekwood” campaign. As of Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., more than 6,000 people have signed. “Cheekwood will not be bullied into closing our gates to the public by a self-serving faction trying to wall off a historic Nashville landmark for themselves,” they said. “We are fully compliant with the law, and we stand firmly with Metro Nashville in our mission to serve the entire community.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/unprecedented-radical-existential-threat-could-shutter-cheekwood-we-know-it-estate-gardens-says/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-23T19:34:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FJZFK2NAM5VE57DQQ7ZROPCYRNQ.png%3Fauth%3D2d9f5fe9b4fd418d11341bcc5fa400ac51b8857260c48e405db2105fb863df5a%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"unprecedented-and-radical-existential-threat-could-shutter-cheekwood-as-we-know-it-estate-and-garden"},{"id":"8i1pc0","title":"Sumner County Animal Services waives adoption fees: ‘We are dangerously full’","excerpt":"GALLATIN, Tenn.

The Williamson County Commission and Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen are scheduled to hold a joint meeting June 29 to discuss the proposal.Williamson County Mayor Rogers Anderson said the project could help meet growing recreational needs in the county.\"The Banks at Brownland brings the exciting prospect of helping Williamson County continue to meet the recreational needs of our growing community,\" Anderson said. \"The prospect of adding ice is especially appealing as we have been working with the Predators to find a home in Williamson County for a long time.\"Franklin Mayor Ken Moore called the proposal \"an exciting project\" that would expand athletic and health opportunities in the community.Project leaders say Williamson County currently has no public ice availability. In 2025, county residents made more than 60,000 visits to Predators-managed ice facilities in Nashville and Bellevue.The Banks at Brownland would also include 11 fields that could be used for football, soccer and lacrosse programming.Six football fields are planned in partnership with the Tennessee Titans. Developers say girls flag football  one of the fastest-growing high school sports in Tennessee  is expected to be a centerpiece activity.\"Access to quality fields and facilities is foundational to growing the game and the next generation of athletes,\" said Josh Corey, the Titans' Vice President of Cause Marketing. \"We first piloted girls flag football in Williamson County before it expanded across the state, and we're excited to be part of this effort.\"The project also includes six soccer fields being developed in collaboration with Nashville Soccer Club.\"Growing the game of soccer not just in Nashville but across Middle Tennessee is foundational to our mission,\" Nashville SC Chief Business Officer Lindsey Paola said. \"The benefits youth sports provide our communities are undeniable.\"Golf is another major component of the proposal.The development team has partnered with Franklin Bridge Golf Club owner and PGA professional Brooks West to create a golf practice and training facility on more than 60 acres. Plans call for a driving range exceeding 400 yards, nearly 200 hitting bays, a short-game practice area, putting green, nine-hole short course and AI-powered golf instruction technology.Beyond sports, developers say The Banks at Brownland would feature health, wellness and neighborhood-oriented retail. Potential uses include restaurants, a grocery store, retail shopping, fitness facilities and medical offices.The proposal also includes a partnership involving neighboring Christ Community Church and GraceWorks Ministries.BLVD Capital says it plans to purchase 18 acres from Christ Community Church to create an entrance and exit for the development. Under the agreement, six of those acres would be donated for a future permanent home for GraceWorks, while the developer would prepare the site for construction.GraceWorks CEO Alicia Bell said the potential donation would help secure the nonprofit's future in Williamson County.\"The possibility of receiving a gift of 6 buildable acres in Franklin is the relief to years of prayer,\" Bell said. \"We've struggled to stay in the community that founded us.\"Bell said the organization serves more than 13,000 neighbors each year with food, shelter and other assistance.Developers say The Banks at Brownland is set to begin Franklin's approval process. The project team hopes to break ground in 2027.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/news/state/tennessee/williamson-county/proposed-brownland-farm-redevelopment-would-bring-sports-complex-retail-to-franklin","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"Holly Lehren","publishDate":"2026-06-23T20:34:03.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F29f801e%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F1280x672%2B0%2B0%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fewscripps-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%252F62%252F3c%252F6b8d92074dc590955d5d96f37d3a%252Fhorizontal-templates-2026-06-23t152144-740.png","slug":"proposed-brownland-farm-redevelopment-would-bring-sports-complex-retail-to-franklin"},{"id":"mlkdjf","title":"Dog named Joy dies in Tennessee farmhouse fire after saving family from blaze","excerpt":"FRANKLIN, Tenn.

President Trump has insisted it will happen, and warned of consequences for Iran if it doesn't cooperate.On social media, President Trump wrote \"despite their protestations and false statements to the contrary, coupled with the drumbeat of the Fake News, which is doing everything possible to make the U.S. Victory a small and insignificant as possible. Iran is fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear Inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!)\"He went on to say if they didn't, there would be no further peace negotiations.Use of frozen Iranian fundsPresident Trump also says any and frozen Iranian assets will be controlled by the U.S. And Qatar to purchase U.S. goods, such as agricultural products. Iranian officials are maintaining they will decide the use of those funds, acknowledging only that they need technical agreements from the U.S. And Qatar for those mechanisms.The future of the Strait of HormuzPresident Trump has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz will be toll free for the initial 60-day negotiating period, something Iranians have also signaled.U.S. officials also expect that toll-free component to be a part of any final deal. But the Iranians, in a joint statement with Oman, have suggested they may seek fees from passing ships again. In a statement, Iranian officials wrote that they would continue talks in a joint working group to \"reach agreement on the future administration of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the services that will be provided in this regard.\"RELATED STORY | US and Iran begin nuclear negotiations with both sides reporting progress after opening talksSecretary of State Marco Rubio is abroad this week in Kuwait, Bahrain and the UAE, in part to discuss the Strait of Hormuz as well as that memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, which he suggests will include the discussion on Iranian support for regional proxy groups, something that was not explicitly outlined in the memorandum.\"I think a careful reading of the MOU will see that when you talk about, for example, a complete end of hostilities in the entire region,\" Rubio said. \"Well, that's not possible. You can't have the end of hostility and conflict in the region as long as Iranian proxies are launching missiles and drones from Iraq, and are participating in terrorism like Hamas did and like Hezbollah did. So I do think it's covered by the MOU, and it is an issue that will be gotten to at the appropriate time in these negotiations.\"Meanwhile in Washington, the Trump administration is mediating another round of talks between Lebanon and Israel amidst Israel's campaigns against Hezbollah.This has been a key point for the Iranians in negotiations and ending the conflict. And while the U.S. has sought to keep it a separate issue, a cease-fire in Lebanon is tied to that memorandum of understanding as well.RELATED STORY | US negotiations with Tehran include a plan to return nuclear inspectors to Iran","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/iran-war/mixed-messages-us-and-iran-still-disagree-over-nuclear-inspections-and-shipping-through-hormuz","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"Haley Bull","publishDate":"2026-06-23T20:14:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2Ff3211f3%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F1024x538%2B0%2B73%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F03%252F6e%252F3d4d132f47459c719d01320dcef0%252Fap26070525672326.jpg","slug":"mixed-messages-us-and-iran-still-disagree-over-nuclear-inspections-and-shipping-through-hormuz"},{"id":"ia27ws","title":"Clarksville police seeking ID theft suspect after $28K stolen","excerpt":"Clarksville police are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect in an identity theft and fraud investigation.According to the Clarksville Police Department, the case stems from June 6, when a victim reported that approximately $28,000 had been withdrawn from a bank account through three...","content":"Clarksville police are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect in an identity theft and fraud investigation.According to the Clarksville Police Department, the case stems from June 6, when a victim reported that approximately $28,000 had been withdrawn from a bank account through three separate fraudulent transactions.During the investigation, detectives obtained surveillance video showing a suspect making one of the withdrawals.

Plans unveiled for new hotelThe Factory at Franklin, a historic factory that now houses restaurants, markets, events, shops, announced Tuesday that it will soon host visitors overnight. The Factory Hotel, a 120-room boutique hotel under the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, is expected to break ground at the end of the year. “Inspired by The Factory’s rich history and unmistakable character, the hotel will offer guests an authentic Franklin experience, pairing warm Southern hospitality with modern comforts,” a press release on the plans said. Hotel to generate jobsBetween 50 and 60 jobs are also expected to come with the hotel “and further support The Factory’s continued growth as a regional destination for tourism, business, and community events.” Details on employment opportunities will be forthcoming, the venue said. The hotel is expected to open in the spring of 2028. “Designed to complement the site’s historic architecture, the project will thoughtfully incorporate Building 10 into the hotel’s main lobby experience, preserving an important piece of The Factory’s heritage,” the press release said. “In addition, Building 9 will be reimagined as a vibrant pool courtyard, creating a unique gathering space for guests and visitors alike.”Guests will also have access to an event and meeting space, a private dining room, a fitness center and a full-service restaurant with a bar, the Factory at Franklin announced. “The Factory has always been one of Williamson County’s most beloved gathering places, and this hotel gives visitors more reasons to stay while also creating new jobs right here in our community,” said Maureen Thornton, President & CEO of Visit Franklin. “History and preservation are core to what makes our community special and what visitors come here to experience, and this project carries that spirit forward for guests and neighbors alike.”Two-hour parking areas and new garage in the worksPlans to improve parking access for visitors at the Holladay Properties-owned center are also in the works. A new parking garage and parking lot expansions are expected to bring more than 1,000 more spots to the facility. Additionally, “dedicated two-hour parking areas” will be installed for quick stops at the shopping center. “The updated parking plan is designed with convenience in mind, doubling the number of spaces located closest to the property’s entrances,” the press release said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/new-boutique-hotel-expanded-parking-coming-factory-franklin/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-23T19:10:49.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FSIGFKN7OC5AE5BD6O2ZBMNPKIY.jpg%3Fauth%3D0a80e3d00845363c866358115e967d5ff8902d1a96f4e51d9821b1f5ebc9a4c4%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"new-boutique-hotel-expanded-parking-coming-to-factory-at-franklin"},{"id":"s6kyy0","title":"Small savings goals can help build momentum, study finds","excerpt":"(InvestigateTV) — Having a direction for savings is important, according to a NerdWallet study that found people who have a savings goal saved more than those who did not.NerdWallet Lead Wealth Writer Kate Ashford said the study found 75 percent of people with a money goal are saving money regula...","content":"(InvestigateTV) — Having a direction for savings is important, according to a NerdWallet study that found people who have a savings goal saved more than those who did not.NerdWallet Lead Wealth Writer Kate Ashford said the study found 75 percent of people with a money goal are saving money regularly.“The goals don’t have to be big; you can really start as small as you’re comfortable with because I know people are finding saving a little hard right now. It could be $10 a week. It could be $100 a month, you can automate that,” Ashford said. “You can set up an automatic transfer from your checking account to your savings account make it happen without you having to make that decision every month or every week.”She said savings can build over time, and that momentum can help people gain confidence about their budget.“If you have a little bit of money here and there, it’s never too little to save. There are apps out there that will round up your purchases to the next dollar and put that money away in a savings account. You can decide you’re going to save rebates or your tax refund or just extra money that you find, that will go to savings. Just look for the little things you can put away. Time is on your side, and it really will add up,” Ashford said.She said tracking savings does not have to take as much time as some people may think. Checking in once a week or once a month can help people understand where they are and stay on track.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/small-savings-goals-can-help-build-momentum-study-finds/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Rachel DePompa","publishDate":"2026-06-23T19:09:32.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FMMUN7CQYANCAZAN3YHZLV6RIT4.png%3Fauth%3Dd110be871a098e3e80bc9a6890299fb8df0820fe682f3788376cce5bbba73f4c%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"small-savings-goals-can-help-build-momentum-study-finds"},{"id":"mew6up","title":"Cookeville man arrested after uploading child sexual abuse material online, police say","excerpt":"Months after receiving a cybertip, authorities have arrested a Cookeville man on several charges, including sexual exploitation of a minor.","content":"Months after receiving a cybertip, authorities have arrested a Cookeville man on several charges, including sexual exploitation of a minor.","url":"https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/cookeville-man-arrested-child-sexual-abuse-materia/","source":"WKRN News 2 (ABC affiliate)","author":"Alicia Patton","publishDate":"2026-06-23T19:09:10.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wkrn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F73%2F2024%2F03%2FCapture_e84135.jpg%3Fw%3D900","slug":"cookeville-man-arrested-after-uploading-child-sexual-abuse-material-online-police-say"},{"id":"e7d3zo","title":"‘I’ll never be the same’: Wife mourning death of husband, father of 7, including quadruplets","excerpt":"CHARLOTTE, N.C.

The timeline is not years, it is months, the group of spy agencies said in the statement on Monday.The evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming cyber risk, and we must act swiftly to remain ahead.AI researchers and executives have expressed various safety concerns over the advancing technology, which the Five Eyes leaders described as being able to lower barriers for malicious actors and increases the speed and complexity of attacks.AI experts said the message is really stark and could have worrying implications, not just for governments and corporations, but for small and medium businesses around the world.What it was saying is that in an age of AI, breaches will occur. Its not a matter of if, but when, so its important to get prepared now, Olivia Shen, director of the Strategic Technologies Program with the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, told CNN.The US administrations broad directive against Anthropics Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models was one of the furthest-reaching actions a government has taken in response to the advanced capabilities of an AI model.Mythos had raised widespread cybersecurity concerns because the company said it was extremely adept at finding security flaws. But Anthropic said it believed the US government had become aware of a method of jailbreaking its public Fable model, or getting around its internal safety guardrails. Anthropic and the administration have been meeting to try and resolve the issue.RELATED STORY | Pope calls for robust regulation of AI in manifesto that ponders the future of humanityThe really key lesson for this is that AI capabilities are evolving incredibly rapidly, Shen said, adding that even though the worlds attention is currently on Anthropic, someone else could produce the next highly capable one.To counter the threat, businesses and leaders should invest in cyber defenses, upgrade old systems or patch faulty software, and limit who has access to critical systems, the Five Eyes leaders said.And though AI is being used by adversaries to move faster and more effectively, it is also part of the solution, they added.Organizations that integrate AI tools into their security operations can detect vulnerabilities earlier, improve software quality, monitor unusual behaviour, and respond faster to incidents, the security alliance said.Shen, the AI and national security expert, said there was a massive gap in the defenses of many governments and businesses.Sophisticated businesses, usually your large corporations, they already invest in cybersecurity, and theyll be better prepared, she said. The ones who are more exposed will be those small and medium-sized businesses who maybe have under invested so far, and theyll basically be like sitting ducks.AI models are advancing at warp speed, and independent assessments have shown some models are now reaching expert levels of cyber capability. That pace has seemingly left lawmakers attempting to put in guardrails fighting a losing battle.Currently there is no transparent, consistent framework for regulating AI in the United States. While some experts say the government should be involved in conversations about AI safety, others argue the result could stifle the industry.RELATED STORY | More than half of Americans are 'getting tired of hearing' about AI, survey findsDozens of cybersecurity researchers, AI entrepreneurs, and corporate executives this month signed an open letter urging the Trump administration to commit to an open, scientific and transparent process of handling AI risk assessments and said it was essential for security teams to find and fix flaws in their own newly-written as well as decades of legacy code faster than our adversaries.Shen acknowledged there is a tightrope to walk but said there needs to be some ground rules.We know these technologies can be used for both defensive and offensive purposes, and we need a few more guardrails about how we can maximize the benefits for defensive cyber security, while gate keeping it away from potential cyber adversaries and scammers and cyber criminals, she said.The-CNN-Wire &  2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

(WSMV) - Fisk University has put out another statement amid ongoing backlash over the announcement of a planned data center on the HBCU campus. “Fisk University is aware of the proliferation of environmentally harmful data centers that have created issues in the communities where they exist. Since inception, Fisk took a different approach and learned about the data centers that currently exist and are not doing harm in their communities,” the university said. They added that this information “has guided Fisk’s commitment to ‘do no harm,’” and that, as such, the university “strongly supports efforts to regulate” data centers in Davidson County. WSMV4 has confirmed that there are at least a dozen active data centers in the Nashville area and proposals for at least two more — the one at Fisk and another that would be adjacent to the Nashville Zoo. Fisk’s proposal is for a 70,000-square-foot technology center that would be located along Herman Street between DB Todd Junior Boulevard and 17th Avenue North. While the university has said the project will better serve its students, many in the community fear otherwise. Less than two weeks ago, Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) joined a press conference outside the university to voice his opposition. “Not all money is good money. This project will have much more cost in terms of the public health cost, in the cost to the well-being and longevity of the students,” he said. “...If this project of AI data centers is not good for a zoo, then it’s not good to build at a HBCU.” Winston Wright, a 2017 graduate of the university, has also been outspoken about the project, imploring school leaders to consider the potential noise pollution from an on-campus data center. “Just imagine what that would do to students who want to pull all-nighters, students are trying to get rest before an exam,” he said at the same press conference. That opinion has been shared by thousands of other Nashville residents, prompting city leaders to develop regulations surrounding data centers. Nashville leaders take on data centersEarlier this month, Mayor Freddie O’Connell signed an executive order mandating Metro Government departments to “identify lawful and effective tools available to address potential adverse impacts...and opportunities to thoughtfully protect interests.” Nashville leaders are currently considering two legislative actions for data centers — the first, a temporary moratorium on all new data centers, and the second, zoning regulations for certain centers. Fisk University said in its statement on Tuesday that its leaders “look forward to working with the Mayor’s Office, the Metropolitan Council, and numerous Metro agencies to ensure that Fisk’s Innovation Center is constructed and operated in a manner that does not burden our neighbors.” WSMV4 has asked Fisk University what data centers they specifically looked to for inspiration for its own center and if the one planned for campus will be an AI center. When WSMV4 previously asked Fisk if it will be an AI center, the university said it had yet to identify a partner and that once it does, leaders “will work with them on all specifics based on our ‘do no harm’ approach.” “This has been our approach over the last two years of planning an Innovation Center that will elevate our university and have positive outcomes for Fisk and North Nashville for decades to come,” Fisk’s most recent statement continued. “...We seek to enhance the educational experiences of our students and constituents with critical technology access.” Click HERE for a list and map of data centers in the Nashville area that WSMV has confirmed, and visit wsmv.com/news/investigate/data-centers/for our ongoing coverage.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/fisk-university-aware-proliferation-environmentally-harmful-data-centers-it-vows-do-no-harm/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Li Cohen","publishDate":"2026-06-23T18:20:20.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FXTHI4KMVGVG63MNR2LMIWFUAQM.jpeg%3Fauth%3D2b4bc5bd76f1f4a266b066a899049833e4e45d79360eb70d464cfe279091c397%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"fisk-university-aware-of-the-proliferation-of-environmentally-harmful-data-centers-as-it-vows-to-do-"},{"id":"qh5z6u","title":"2 Wendy’s employees accused of serving food from trash, police say","excerpt":"UNION, S.C.

After the pool was refilled, algae developed and turned the water green. Officials then began using hydrogen peroxide to combat the algae.RELATED STORY | Why has the Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool developed such visible problems?\"While a definitive investigation is necessary, it is quite probable that dumping of hydrogen peroxide, peeling paint that was used as part of an effort to make the pool look more blue, or algal blooms that followed the restoration effort contributed to the deaths,\" the Center for Biological Diversity said in a statement.The group said the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is meant to protect the birds and that the National Park Service is responsible for enforcing the law.\"No individual, corporation or government official should be above the nation's wildlife-protection laws,\" the Center for Biological Diversity said.RELATED STORY | 5 arrested after vandalism reported at Lincoln Memorial Reflecting PoolThe federal government has not publicly responded to the request for an investigation.Trump, however, said the pool will be drained so repairs can be made, but he blamed vandals for the problems.\"Somebody went in with a knife and cut it.

Plus, how cognitive baseline testing can track brain health over time, why older adults are often targeted by scammers, and a nonverbal artist whose paintings and poetry challenge assumptions about communication and ability. Understanding ADHD, autism and other conditions in older adults Many older adults have lived their entire lives with undiagnosed ADHD, autism, dyslexia or OCD — conditions that were rarely identified in their generation, according to the Aging Untold experts. Staying focused and on track can get harder when retirement or health changes take away routines for neurodiverse older adults. Understanding neurodiversity in aging can help families provide better support and avoid misdiagnosing lifelong traits as dementia. Read the full article here. How cognitive baseline testing can track brain health over time Cognitive baseline testing provides a snapshot of how your brain is functioning now, allowing you to track changes over the years and catch potential issues early. The earlier you establish this baseline, the better equipped you’ll be to notice meaningful changes and take action, according to Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician. She compares cognitive baseline testing to routine health checks: “When you go to the doctor, you get your blood pressure taken, you get your temperature checked, you have a baseline. So if something changes, you know it and you can assess that.” The timing of when to get the test depends on your individual risk factors and health history. Read the full article here.

A cheaper price tag.The new Meta Glasses will start at $299, making them less expensive than the latest Ray-Ban models which begin at $379. And that could help get them in the hands of more people, which is critical for Meta as it faces pressure to prove its massive AI investments will generate hit products.RELATED | Google plans to launch its first AI-powered glassesYou really want to be able to be in many places in the market, so reaching people isnt just about even design and style, its also about the price point, Andrew Bosworth, Metas chief technology officer, said during a press event on Monday.The Meta-designed glasses represent a departure from the co-branded spectacles the social media giant previously released with EssilorLuxotticas Ray-Ban and Oakley. (Meta still partners with EssilorLuxottica on certain aspects of the new glasses, like the lenses, and continues to sell the Ray-Ban and Oakley models.)Bosworth added that consumers are willing to pay a premium for Ray-Ban styles because of their popularity, and that the new in-house frames are meant to provide consumers with more options.The glasses come in three styles: a small frame called Adventurer, a larger and slightly rounder one called Fury and an oval model designed by Kylie Jenner called Meta Glasses by Kylie.The new glasses can play music, translate languages and answer questions about a persons surroundings by capturing images with the glasses cameras, like Metas Ray-Ban and Oakley glasses. The company claims its new Muse Spark AI model improves how the glasses can extract details from photos and remember personal preferences.Meta Glasses will launch with Muse Spark, while the companys previous glasses will get the new model through a software update.When CNN tried the glasses during a press event ahead of launch, they were able to estimate the number of calories in a bowl of strawberries, translate a sign from Arabic to English and provide nearby museum recommendations. The glasses could also tell the container of fake cherries used as a prop during a demo werent real.Still, these scenarios are comparable to what Metas existing glasses can handle and likely wont convince people who are skeptical of or uninterested in smart glasses. The Jenner-designed model is the most distinctive; they have a custom chime sound that plays when a user puts on the glasses, and the standard Meta AI voice can be replaced by an AI-generated version of Jenners based on her real voice.RELATED | Meta launches new AI search mode and photo editing tools on FacebookTech companies are still struggling to prove to consumers that smart glasses and other new types of wearable gadgets, like pins that record and transcribe conversations, are more useful than smartphones, according to Runar Bjorhovde, an analyst covering mobile devices for market research firm Omdia. That can make it difficult for some consumers to justify the price.The question is whether these wearables can do something completely unique or something completely different, using the camera (and) creating context in the world, he told CNN earlier this month. And the question is, what do you actually do with that?But prices for smart glasses are expected to come down over the next four years, potentially making them more popular, according to market research firm The International Data Corporation. The average selling price of smart glasses is expected to drop from $376 in 2026 to $229 by 2030.But price isnt the only concern when it comes to smart glasses; the company has grappled with ongoing privacy concerns. CNN reported earlier this year that some men have filmed videos of themselves flirting with women using smart glasses and uploaded the clips to social media without the womens consent.All Metas glasses have an LED light indicating when the glasses are recording. Metas website also says the camera wont function unless the LED light is clear.It is a cat and mouse game with people who are bad actors, Bosworth said, at Mondays press event. We try to make sure that were doing everything we can generationally to continue to improve, making sure that light is the indicator that bystanders can rely on to understand whats happening on the glasses.Smart glasses, especially Metas, are gaining traction: The IDC reports that shipments of smart glasses surged by 167% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. And Meta dominates the space with 69.2% of the market, the firm found.Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an April earnings call that the number of people using its glasses daily has tripled year-over-year.But Meta will soon face more competition. Google and Samsung are collaborating on a new pair of AI glasses launching later this year with similar functionality. OpenAI is also developing a hardware product.ChatGPT and Googles Gemini are already significantly more popular than Metas AI assistant, according to Pew Research, which reports that 44% of American adults use ChatGPT, while 24% use Gemini and 14% use Meta AI.Google enters the smart glasses race with an advantage no rival can manufacture overnight: an ecosystem already embedded in billions of lives, IDC analysts wrote in a June 15 report. Gemini is already in peoples email, photos, search history, and calendars.Metas previous hardware efforts, like co-branded smartphones, smart home devices and virtual reality headsets, have failed to gain traction with consumers. Now it hopes to make smart glasses as pervasive as smartphones, smartwatches and other tech gadgets. Doing so could give Metas AI assistant a serious boost in the race against ChatGPT and Gemini, since users primarily interact with the glasses by talking to the digital helper.And its possible that glasses are just the start.The design team is absolutely captivated by this question, Bosworth said of possibly designing AI products for people who dont wear glasses. What are the other ways that we can deliver this capability to people who dont want to have glasses?The-CNN-Wire &  2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Journalists at The Wall Street Journal also received grand jury subpoenas, according to people familiar with the matter, a rare and unusual move that critics said was a threat against press freedom.It wasn't immediately clear why the government withdrew the subpoenas or what precise news coverage the subpoenas concerned, but the decision to rescind them, first reported Tuesday by The Washington Post, was confirmed by people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a non-public law enforcement action.RELATED STORY | FBI searches Washington Post journalists home in classified leak probeWashington Post executive editor Matt Murray wrote in a staff email obtained by The Associated Press that a subpoena to Ellen Nakashima, a prominent national security journalist who has reported on the Iran war and deadly U.S. military boat strikes in the Caribbean Sea, had been withdrawn.\"The unwarranted subpoena of our reporter Ellen Nakashima  a clear violation of constitutionally guaranteed press freedom  was another sign of the government seeking to compel journalists to become instruments of its investigations. We will continue to stand fully behind the journalism of The Washington Post and fight all efforts by any administration that violate our First Amendment rights,\" a newspaper spokesperson said in a statement.A spokesperson for The Wall Street Journal didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Tuesday.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to comment on the subpoenas or the decision to withdraw them while speaking to reporters after an unrelated news conference, calling it a grand jury matter.\"To the extent that we have to investigate breaches of national security, in whatever form they come, that's something that we will continue to do,\" Blanche said.He noted that in media leak investigations, \"reporters are not our targets. We very much value the role that reporters play in this city and country.\"But, he added, \"I have a similarly important role to make sure that people that are entrusted with our nation's secrets do what they're supposed to do with that information, which -- spoiler alert -- means not sharing with reporters. There's tension there. I don't deny there's tension there. But I'm not going to stop investigating people who work for this administration who think it's OK to leak classified information.\"Mark Schoeff Jr., a reporter at CQ Roll Call and president of the National Press Club, called the decision to seek grand jury testimony from journalists, \"one of the most aggressive actions against a free and independent press in recent memory.\"\"Reporters were one step away from being forced to participate in a criminal investigation because they were doing their jobs. That should alarm every American who values a free press,\" Schoeff said in a statement.The Justice Department over the years has developed, and revised, internal policies governing how it will respond to news media leaks.Though the Justice Department across presidential administration has periodically seized the phone records of individual journalists in hopes of identifying sources for national security stories, it is extremely rare for the government to attempt to compel a reporter to reveal their sources before a grand jury.In April, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi rescinded a policy from President Joe Biden's Democratic administration that protected journalists from having their phone records secretly seized during leak investigations  a practice long decried by news organizations and press freedom groups.The moves again gave prosecutors the authority to use subpoenas, court orders and search warrants to hunt for government officials who make \"unauthorized disclosures\" to journalists. A memo she issued said members of the press are \"presumptively entitled to advance notice of such investigative activities,\" and subpoenas are to be \"narrowly drawn.\" Warrants must also include \"protocols designed to limit the scope of intrusion into potentially protected materials or newsgathering activities,\" the memo states.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/politics/justice-department-withdraws-subpoenas-that-sought-reporters-grand-jury-testimony-sources-say","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-23T18:40:27.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F43437c4%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F1000x525%2B0%2B71%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F8e%252Fb1%252F22d62b5046f2847dd1a655a07d48%252Fshutterstock-1407329489.jpg","slug":"justice-department-withdraws-subpoenas-that-sought-reporters-grand-jury-testimony-sources-say"},{"id":"x68h0d","title":"Robertson Co.: Highway 41 South closed in Greenbrier due to gas leak","excerpt":"Emergency crews are responding to a large gas main leak in the area of Highway 41 South and Draughon Drive in Greenbrier.According to Robertson County Emergency Management, crews from the gas department and multiple public safety agencies are on scene working to safely address the leak.Highway 41...","content":"Emergency crews are responding to a large gas main leak in the area of Highway 41 South and Draughon Drive in Greenbrier.According to Robertson County Emergency Management, crews from the gas department and multiple public safety agencies are on scene working to safely address the leak.Highway 41 South is currently closed in the affected area while crews work.Traffic is being diverted onto Old Greenbrier Pike.

And it's not random. It does track along income lines.Boxer said about 1 in 4 children from middle-income families participate in summer programs, compared with about 13% of children from lower-income families.RELATED STORY | Summer vacation feels out of reach for many Americans. Here's how to saveEducators often refer to summer learning loss as the summer slide, when students lose some of the academic progress they made during the school year. Boxer said summer also plays an important role in helping children develop outside the classroom.It's where the school year teaches kids what to know, and then the summer then teaches them who they are, Boxer said.For families who cannot afford traditional summer camps, Boxer recommended starting with local and nonprofit options, including YMCAs, YWCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs and parks and recreation programs. Many offer sliding-scale pricing or financial aid.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/politics/economy/summer-learning-gap-can-grow-as-families-face-cost-transportation-barriers","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"Scripps

halted the project.Trump administration officials had said that the United States was planning to send Americans who are exposed to Ebola while abroad to a new facility in Kenya instead of flying them

determination of the case filed by the Law Society of Kenya and the constitutional watchdog, the Katiba Institute, which argued that Kenya's fragile health system was unable to handle a potential

(WSMV) - Every year in June, Lightning Safety Awareness Week serves as an important reminder of the dangers posed by lightning and the steps you can take to protect yourself during thunderstorms.National Lightning Safety Awareness Week started in 2001 in order to call attention to lightning being an underrated killer. Since then, U.S. lightning fatalities have dropped from about 55 per year to less than 30. This reduction in lightning fatalities is largely due to the greater awareness of lightning danger and people seeking safety when thunderstorms threaten.Meteorologists, emergency management agencies, schools, and community organizations have worked together to promote critical safety messages, including the importance of monitoring weather conditions and moving indoors as soon as thunder is heard. Public education campaigns like “When thunder roars, go indoors” have helped people better understand that lightning can strike miles away from a storm and that waiting until rain begins to seek shelter can be dangerously late.Each day of the week is broken up into different topics about lightning, including how lightning forms, where to seek shelter, and safety outdoors, just to name a few.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/lightning-safety-awareness-week-raising-awareness-saving-lives/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Melanie Layden","publishDate":"2026-06-23T16:09:43.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FEMYWN2EJFRCTHIPNTYAUZQGRJQ.png%3Fauth%3D0fb34e6a35d591a50677bd6f6adf54bb5ba8fbc46f588f033b39fdbdf78b8e13%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"lightning-safety-awareness-week-raising-awareness-and-saving-lives"},{"id":"afe6fk","title":"First Alert Weather: Midstate losing daylight each day for the rest of the summer","excerpt":"NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(WSMV) - A Middle Tennessee 17-year-old with a passion for cars and racing died following a tragic crash at Duck River Raceway Park over the weekend. Bentlee Potts, a rising senior at Santa Fe School, was killed after his car flipped during a race on Saturday night. By his side in the car was his 17-year-old cousin and best friend, Austin, who Potts’ mother said survived and is bruised but safely recovering at home. “Our hearts are shattered beyond anything I can describe,” his mother Ashlee Howell said. “Bentlee was loved by so many, and the pain of losing him is unimaginable.” WSMV4 has reached out to the the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office for more information on the wreck. The owners of Duck River Raceway Park said the teen “wasn’t just another racer,” but instead was “part of our racing family.” “We know there are risks when we strap into a race car, but that doesn’t make it any easier when tragedy strikes,” a post from the park’s owners said. “Last night changed a lot of lives forever.”Anyone who knew Potts knew that he loved being at the raceway. He had dreams of becoming an auto diesel mechanic one day, and had “his whole life ahead of him.” “Bentlee was a great kid. He loved to race. Anything with an engine, he would race it,” Howell wrote to WSMV4. “He had the biggest heart of anyone I know.”The 17-year-old’s family is asking for prayers, especially for his cousin, Austin, and his 9-year-old sister, Mayce. A GoFundMe started to help the family with the cost of the tragic loss can be found here. “Bentlee and Austin were more than cousins, they were best friends,” Howell said. “Please also pray for Mayce. Losing a brother is a heartbreak no child should ever have to endure. She loved Bentlee deeply, and our family is trying to navigate a pain that feels impossible right now.”Oakes & Nichols Funeral Home says it will host a visitation for Potts from 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 25. The raceway acknowledged that Potts’s loss will be felt by many. “Seeing the hurt across our pits, grandstands, last night and the community today shows just how many people cared... Rest easy, Bentlee. You will always be part of the Duck River Raceway family, and you will never be forgotten,” owners Russell and Angie wrote on the raceway Facebook page. His voice will also be missed among Wildcats and in Santa Fe’s hallways, where he often shared NASCAR updates during the morning announcements.“Bentlee was a cherished member of our school family whose smile, personality, and enthusiasm touched the lives of many... his presence will be greatly missed throughout our halls and classrooms,” Santa Fe School wrote on Facebook. The teen’s family asked people to “please hug your loved ones a little tighter today” because “life can change in an instant.”“Hug your kids, hug your parents, hug the people you love, because tomorrow is never promised,” the Duck River Raceway wrote.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/22/our-hearts-are-shattered-middle-tennessee-teen-racer-killed-crash-duck-river-raceway/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Chasity Maynard","publishDate":"2026-06-23T15:33:26.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FV7JCLXTBPRHCBE57FUJR3RVJFI.jpg%3Fauth%3Dfb9d525319afe775b368e2a933423ffa3a7e04189bb3e31f2ee4cb12dd7f25e2%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"our-hearts-are-shattered-middle-tennessee-teen-racer-killed-in-crash-at-duck-river-raceway"},{"id":"8jmzjp","title":"Man accused of recording under girl’s skirt during concert, weeks after doing it at Target, police say","excerpt":"MANSFIELD, Mass.

Various news stations, including Scripps News Groups Tucson station, KGUN, also received ransom notes, some demanding Bitcoin.In one message received by the Scripps Tucson station in the early days of the search, the sender referred to Nancy Guthrie as safe but scared.Later messages sent to other outlets took a different tone. It is not known if many of those messages were authentic or from whom they were sent.According to a TMZ post on X, a messenger who was demanding payment for information related to the kidnapping also indicated Guthrie had died. Early on, he said, Time is of the essence, and then a few days after the kidnapping, he said, Time is no longer of the essence, meaning that she wasnt alive, Levin said.RELATED STORY | Former colleague shares memories of working with Nancy GuthrieWe cannot be at peace, Savannah Guthrie said on her morning show Tuesday.

Charles Lenny Lunn’s work opened at Lost Origins Gallery in Washington, D.C., marking the first time he publicly shared his art and written words. Lunn was born with a rare genetic disorder linked with autism and apraxia, leaving him unable to speak or plan and execute movements, his mother, Lorie Peters Lauthier, said. “It’s not an intellectual disability. It’s actually a mind-body dysfunction,” Peters Lauthier said. “Their brain is not sending the synapsis to their body. So he doesn’t know where his body is in space. So when he paints, he feels his body.” Finding expression through art Peters Lauthier said a doctor told her to put Lunn in a home when he was 10 months old, saying he would never be more than a vegetable. Lunn paints in his Maryland basement with the help of an instructor who opens the paint. Each painting represents a chapter of his story. He writes captions and poems that accompany the exhibit by tapping on a letter board with the help of a communication specialist. “My speech glows like the sun. Highest things, my words,” co-curator Sarah Tanguy read from one of Lunn’s poems. Through his letter board, Lunn said he hopes people who see his art get curious. “Just coming to my show has the tiny potential to challenge assumptions on how nonspeaking folks truly don’t sit in silence on the inside,” Lunn wrote. Jason Hamacher, who owns Lost Origins gallery, said showing Lunn’s art was a decision he made quickly after seeing the work. “I’m a father. Like, I’ve got two kids. And I was like, this is a really interesting opportunity just to see. And then I saw the artwork. I was like, oh my God, this is insane,” Hamacher said. Peters Lauthier said the exhibit represents years of struggle against a system that told her family her son would never accomplish anything. “They’re no lesser. They’re not disabled. They are human,” she said. “He’s differently abled. He’s able. And he proved it right there to every one of us,” Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist and Aging Untold expert, said.

Oklahoma has the highest rate in the U.S., at about 254 people. It’s followed by Mississippi at 237 people and then Alabama at 224 people, according to 2024 data from the CDC.(function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();So why is Tennessee’s rate of mortality so high?The CDC data shows that the Southern U.S. is disproportionately affected by heart disease mortality, and researchers say there is an urgent need for intervention. “There is growing evidence that we need urgent interventions to stem the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases and resultant deaths in the United States,” said Pankaj Arora, M.D., physician-scientist in the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Division of Cardiovascular Disease.The eight worst heart disease mortality rates are in states in the South, according to WSMV4 Investigates’ analysis of the latest CDC data. Medical professionals haven’t determined an exact cause for the trend, but some studies do offer possible explanations. A study by the UAB found that many diseases known to elevate the risk of heart disease are more common in the region. “Southern states perform worse in terms of diabetes, high blood pressure, poor cholesterol levels, obesity, physical inactivity, heart disease and stroke,” a press release on the research said, in part.(function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();“We’ve made great strides in the way we treat our heart disease patients in this country, especially with [advances in] new medication, technologies and treatment protocols, but a gap of this size is unacceptable.\"Sadip Pant, M.D., an internist with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and lead investigator of the study.In a 2022 Mayo Clinic Proceedings article from Tulane University School of Medicine’s Dr. Keith C. Ferdinand, of the Tulane Heart and Vascular Institute, also states: “African American (AA) individuals have a high disparate burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, including hypertension, heart failure, stroke, obesity (especially in Black females), type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, premature CVD death, and shorter life expectancy. Race is a social construct and not a true biological or genetic category. The high CVD burden “Down South” reflects a toxic gumbo of unhealthy lifestyles, childhood dietary patterns, limited health care access, suboptimal CVD risk control, and adverse social determinants of health. Historically, the South is known for its legacy of long-standing structural racism, an array of dynamics — historical, cultural, institutional, and interpersonal — for centuries restricting the opportunities for long, healthy lives of Black Americans and other historically disenfranchised groups.\"A 2014 publication from the American College of Cardiology urged researchers and healthcare organizations to do more to understand why Southerners are more likely to die from a heart attack. The study did not explicitly seek answers for why this disparity occurs, but it offered a hypothesis: lower household income. The author conjectured that income levels in the South “may play a role by affecting the type of care people receive, how well they are able to manage their risk factors, how often they see their doctors, and whether they have access to the proper medications.”“While the researchers did not seek to establish cause and effect, they speculate the disparity may be due to lifestyle factors and access to health care,” the American College of Cardiology said. “The higher prevalence of risk factors like obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure most likely reflects the unhealthy lifestyle, dietary habits and lack of exercise among people in the region.”Heart disease is the #1 cause of death for most AmericansThe term “heart disease” is actually an umbrella for multiple conditions, the most common being coronary artery disease. CAD can decrease blood flow to the heart, which can cause a heart attack. Heart disease is actually the leading cause of death for most Americans. In 2023, nearly one out of three people died from cardiovascular disease, the CDC reports. More men, women and people of most racial and ethnic groups die from heart disease than from any other cause annually, per the CDC. It claims a life approximately every 34 seconds. Heart disease risk factors“Sometimes heart disease may be “silent” and not diagnosed until a person experiences signs or symptoms of a heart attack, heart failure, or an arrhythmia,” the CDC reports. However, there are identifiable risk factors for heart disease, including: high blood pressurehigh blood cholesterolsmokingdiabetesoverweight and obesityphysical inactivityunhealthy dietexcessive alcohol consumption If heart disease does escalate to a heart attack, arrhythmia or heart failure, the CDC says the following symptoms may be present: Heart attack: Chest pain or discomfort, upper back or neck pain, heartburn, nausea or vomiting, extreme fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath.Arrhythmia: Fluttering feelings in the chest (palpitations).Heart failure: Shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, abdomen, or neck veins.Preventing heart diseaseThere are many ways to prevent heart disease. The CDC advises patients to consume healthy food and drinks, maintain a healthy weight, stay active and refrain from smoking. For people with risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes, maintenance and monitoring are important. Patients are advised to check their cholesterol, control their blood pressure, manage their diabetes and regularly take their medication.

Think of it like taking your blood pressure or checking your temperature. It’s a snapshot of how your brain is functioning right now. The earlier you establish this baseline, the better equipped you’ll be to notice meaningful changes and take action. What is cognitive baseline testing? “It’s like anything else. You want to have a baseline,” Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician, explained. “And the earlier you do it, you have a baseline. It just shows a snapshot of how your brain is working right now, how you’re thinking, your focus, your different skills. And you want to do it when you’re healthy.” Rogers compares it to routine health checks: “When you go to the doctor, you get your blood pressure taken, you get your temperature checked, you have a baseline. So if something changes, you know it and you can assess that.” When should you consider baseline testing? The timing depends on your individual risk factors and health history. “If you have a family history of dementia, you might want to do that earlier — do it in your 40s or 50s or so,\" Rogers said. “If you had a traumatic brain injury or you get a concussion or something, you want to do it right then. Even if you have other medical conditions like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, all those things can lead to cognitive decline, so you may want to consider those things early.” Rogers said a comprehensive assessment will provide the entire picture of the baseline and you can determine if there has been a change. Sam Cradduck, a gerontologist, emphasizes the importance of comprehensive testing for those with preexisting conditions. The testing process Professional neuropsychological testing provides the most thorough assessment. There is a four-hour test. “There’s a profession called neuropsychology, and they’re the great profession that can help,” Amy O’Rourke, an aging expert, said. “They do it. It’s a battery. It’s a long morning or afternoon. While comprehensive testing takes time, it provides valuable diagnostic information. O’Rourke points out a common scenario: “You have somebody that says, no, she’s doing pretty good. She’s doing pretty good. And then you have them tested and they’re like moderate or severe, so getting tested early is so critical.” O’Rourke cautions against relying solely on self-administered tests. “I really discourage someone from doing it themselves and only limiting themselves to one assessment. Getting it done professionally is really helpful,” she said. What experts are looking for The goal isn’t to catch a sudden drop in function, but rather to identify gradual trends. “You’re looking for a trend. You’re not looking for somebody to drop off and just fall off of a cliff,” Cradduck said. “If somebody falls off the cliff, something major has happened. That could be a stroke. That could be an injury. Something major has happened to have that sharp decline. You’re looking for trends to see if we have a progressive cause.” A simple screening tool For those wondering whether to pursue formal testing, there’s a helpful preliminary assessment. “The other strategy I’ve seen used to help people know whether they need to get a test is the little clock test,” O’Rourke said. “Can you draw a clock, it’s because it pulls on so many parts of the brain — problem solving, planning. And if they really can’t draw a clock or they get anything wrong on the clock, that’s another way to say let’s get them checked out.” Six key takeaways Start early when you’re healthy. Establishing your cognitive baseline while you’re functioning well gives you the most useful comparison point for future assessments. Consider testing in your 40s or 50s if you have a family history of dementia. Know your risk factors. Family history of dementia, traumatic brain injuries, concussions, cardiovascular disease and diabetes are all reasons to consider earlier baseline testing. Choose professional assessment. While self-administered tests like SAGE, the Self-Administered Gerocognitive Exam, exist, comprehensive neuropsychological testing provides the most thorough and reliable baseline. Look for trends, not cliffs. Cognitive decline from conditions like dementia happens gradually. Baseline testing helps identify these trends over time, while sudden drops usually indicate acute events like strokes. Use simple screening tools. The clock-drawing test can help determine if you need formal testing, as it engages multiple brain functions, including problem solving and planning. Don’t rely on subjective assessments. Family members often underestimate cognitive decline. Professional testing can reveal moderate or severe impairment even when loved ones report someone is “doing pretty good.”","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/how-cognitive-baseline-testing-can-track-brain-health-over-time/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"LeAnne Gendreau, Rhea Rogers, Sondra 'Sam' Cradduck , Amy Amy Cameron O’Rourke, ","publishDate":"2026-06-23T13:34:53.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FUWKQZMSM6NDZTNJB5AUAAQWMT4.png%3Fauth%3D9b8be3ff4eb9ba8a4bf94e09b9d03b17fce9098373e361c8f4e4de9d3645bf20%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"how-cognitive-baseline-testing-can-track-brain-health-over-time"},{"id":"raf5cn","title":"InvestigateTV+: The benefits of urban food forests","excerpt":"(InvestigateTV) — InvestigateTV+ takes in-depth look at how cities transform eyesores into food forests and explains how this urban oasis improves climate and boosts food security.

Dan Goldman called it sad that a Brooklyn coffee shop apparently banned him with a viral social media post amid a heated Democratic primary election that has focused heavily on the politics of Israels war in Gaza.Speaking to CNNs Laura Coates on Monday, Goldman addressed his experience at Poetica Coffee, which used its branded social media account to post a photo Sunday of Goldman and a receipt of a refund, according to screenshots of the shops posts that were widely shared Monday. Poetica Coffee has since taken down its Instagram page.I had such a nice interaction with the barista in the coffee shop, Goldman said, echoing a comment he left on Poeticas Instagram post. She was wearing a hijab, I didnt know her, but she couldnt have been nicer and allowed my daughter to go use the bathroom, and I honestly was so grateful for her kindness that I felt like I should buy a coffee, and so I did, and I gave her a large tip.Its a reflection, I think, of a sad state of affairs that without knowing me, we could have had such a nice interaction, Goldman continued.FROM THE ARCHIVES | Rep. Goldman accuses Trump of 'dozens of impeachable offenses' amid executive order controversyThe since-deleted post from Poetica Coffee references the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, saying to Goldman, we dont need your money (its probably coming from AIPAC anyways).Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee, the deleted post reads. Do you see how it doesnt taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?Goldman is facing a tough primary challenge Tuesday from former city comptroller Brad Lander, who is backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and highlighted Goldmans past support from AIPAC whose involvement in Democratic primaries has rankled progressives and candidates targeted by AIPAC-affiliated groups.Lander has referred to Israels offensive in Gaza following Hamas October 7, 2023, attacks as a genocide  a claim the Israeli government denies  and called to restrict US military aid to Israel. He has accused Goldman of being beholden to AIPAC.About 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 others taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023. More than 70,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began following Hamas attacks.Speaking Monday, Goldman accused Lander of using AIPAC as a dog whistle and said that he would refuse to cave into that type of rhetoric and that divisiveness.I have many issues with Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu, but simply because I support the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, as the only Jewish state, does not by any means, mean that I support everything that government does, Goldman said. And in fact I do not and Ive been very open about that.RELATED STORY | Anti-Defamation League says anger at Israel is now the driving force behind antisemitism in the USLander issued a statement to The New York Times denouncing the coffee shops post.There are plenty of ways to lobby elected officials and express outrage at the votes theyve taken without turning coffee shops into places people dont feel welcome, Lander said.Goldman also responded to Justice Department civil rights chief Harmeet Dhillons announcement that her division had opened an investigation into the coffee shop.I would rather they spend their time and resources investigating antisemitism against people who do not have a platform that I do, who are not elected officials, who do not  in some ways  ask for this, he said. I mean, I dont ask for the antisemitism, but Im a public figure and I can accept the criticism.The-CNN-Wire &  2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

His goal is to make fresh food preparation less intimidating. “Gives you a sense of autonomy to be able to gain a new skill that’s going to make all aspects of your life better,” Woods said.Addressing disparities through food access“Long term, we see how health is impacted by people who historically have not had access to healthy food and now we’re working to try to undo it,” said Talia McGill, President and CEO of No More Empty Pots.McGill said easy access to local produce is a common barrier the organization works to remove.“When we think about even just the 30th Street corridor, they have been closing grocery stores and so access is key,” McGill said.The organization partners with 40 producers and vendors in a 400-mile radius of Omaha to get fresh food from farms to pantries, schools and businesses. They’re now working to get into grocery chains.“If the product can be made in a different way or sourced differently, the actual end user doesn’t really have to change anything, they just naturally benefit by the business making something different available to them,” McGill said. Through No More Empty Pots, people can get meals or boxes of local produce delivered to their home or pick up items from local vendors at the Micro Market in North Omaha.“In today’s world we definitely value convenience, but if you make a slight change or decide to try something new, I think people will see that they can get the same value out of a new grocery store like this or programs that we have,” McGill said.Woods said the approach creates community connections.“Having an opportunity to get to know where your food comes from, maybe connect with our folks in the micro market or learn about the farmer that lives right down the road that you can buy food from them and eat it, you get a sense of community from that,” Woods said.The Micro Market on 30th Street is open four days a week for grocery shopping. No More Empty Pots hosts regular events and classes as well. “We have monthly workshops that happen in our teaching kitchen at the food hub in the 30th and Florence area,” Woods said.Study findings and recommendationsThe study published in the Lancet found statistically significant associations with consuming ultra-processed foods and adverse health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, depression, obesity and cardiovascular disease.Evidence shows “several plausible mechanisms explain associations with increased chronic disease risk” including multiple nutrient imbalances, overeating, increased intake of toxic compounds and exposure to potentially harmful additives.The study recommends taxation and marketing regulations for corporations that produce ultra-processed foods. Authors suggest the government use those corporate tax dollars to provide resources for low-income households to access healthy, fresh food.Federal and state policy changesThe FDA estimates 70% of the U.S. food supply is made up of ultra-processed foods. On its website, the agency said there are “still many questions” about how and why these foods harm people’s health, but that “the FDA is committed to accelerating research on ultra-processed foods to help answer these questions.”Last summer, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture signed new waivers to amend what food can be purchased by SNAP recipients in certain states, including Nebraska and Iowa, stopping people from using benefits to buy certain ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks starting this year.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/improved-food-access-could-lead-healthier-eating-heres-how/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Erin Sullivan, InvestigateTV staff","publishDate":"2026-06-23T12:08:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FPYIPGSOPARH5JBQBUAF3DBZX2Q.jpg%3Fauth%3D40d5257d50969e673e4dbd38ff17a3aafec0f3bd886c609016328d8e7d3eb843%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"improved-food-access-could-lead-to-healthier-eating-heres-how"},{"id":"vte1wh","title":"Overholt family’s home destroyed by fire in Humphreys County","excerpt":"HURRICANE MILLS, Tenn.

The engine was off and only a rear window was left slightly cracked.When Hulsey arrived, he found a 2-year-old child strapped into a car seat, sweating heavily with his head tilted to the side and not responding.Hulsey broke the vehicle’s window, removed the child from the vehicle, put him in an air-conditioned patrol car and had him evaluated by medics.According to investigators, the toddler had been left alone in the hot vehicle for about 16 minutes. By the time deputies found the parents, they had been inside a grocery store for almost 30 minutes.The parents both face reckless endangerment charges.The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said a parked car can become “dangerously hot” within minutes, even with a window cracked.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 31 children died from vehicular heatstroke in the United States in 2025.The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said anyone who ever sees a child or pet alone in a vehicle and believes they are in distress should never hesitate to call 911.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/deputy-rescues-sweating-toddler-hot-car-with-temperatures-above-90-degrees-outside/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Amanda  Alvarado","publishDate":"2026-06-23T11:38:30.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FWQTGBSIA4JFMRHJRK4TTUZXCEM.jpg%3Fauth%3Dcb151d162d9497db4408fc12fbba66e4b40208ce934a8ec449a9893417615338%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"deputy-rescues-sweating-toddler-in-hot-car-with-temperatures-above-90-degrees-outside"},{"id":"f1y8r7","title":"57-year-old man charged with homicide after woman found dead in Lebanon apartment","excerpt":"Lebanon Police Department found a dead woman inside an apartment after responding to a possible shooting report.","content":"Lebanon Police Department found a dead woman inside an apartment after responding to a possible shooting report.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/57-year-old-man-charged-with-homicide-after-woman-found-dead-in-lebanon-apartment","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-21T16:54:43.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F2240%2F986%2Fcenter%2F90%2Fd08fc7cd-23eb-4446-9923-b0fad5fb57b2-Lillyweb8.png","slug":"57-year-old-man-charged-with-homicide-after-woman-found-dead-in-lebanon-apartment"},{"id":"2o18m2","title":"Nashville's Belcourt Theater opens its doors early once a month for Metro Parks' disABILITIES Program","excerpt":"Once a month, the Belcourt Theater in Nashville opens its doors early for its friends from Metro Parks' disABILITIES Program.The screenings give participants the chance to experience a film before the theater opens to the public.\"When they come to the Belcourt, they're able to experience a film b...","content":"Once a month, the Belcourt Theater in Nashville opens its doors early for its friends from Metro Parks' disABILITIES Program.The screenings give participants the chance to experience a film before the theater opens to the public.\"When they come to the Belcourt, they're able to experience a film before we open to the public, so it's just for them,\" said Jessica Breanne with the Belcourt Theater.The tradition has been going on for at least a dozen years.

But they ruled that a federal law designed to protect the religious rights of inmates does not permit lawsuits for money damages even when rights are violated.The high court agreed with lower courts that without exception had ruled that the law, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, can't be used to hold those who violate inmates' rights financially responsible.The justices refused to apply the rationale from their decision in 2020 that allowed Muslim men to sue over their inclusion on the FBI's no-fly list under a sister statute, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.PREVIOUS COVERAGE | Supreme Court leans against Rastafarian in case of prison guards forcibly cutting dreadlocksThe Justice Department, which argued against the plaintiffs in the no-fly list case in President Donald Trump's first Republican administration, had sided with Landor.No one defended what happened to Landor during his five-month prison term in 2020. When he entered the prison system, he carried a copy of an appeals court ruling in another inmate's case holding that cutting religious prisoners' dreadlocks violated the federal law.At his first two stops, officials respected his beliefs. But things changed when he got to the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center in Cottonport, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Baton Rouge, for the final three weeks of his term.A prison guard took the copy of the ruling Landor carried and tossed it in the trash, according to court records. Then the warden ordered guards to cut his dreadlocks. While two guards restrained him, a third shaved his head to the scalp, the records show.Landor sued after his release, but lower courts dismissed the case. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lamented Landor's treatment but said the law doesn't allow him to hold prison officials liable for damages.ICYMI | Supreme Court says unlawful drug users may legally possess firearmsLouisiana wrote that \"the state has amended its prison grooming policy to ensure that nothing like petitioner's alleged experience can occur.\"The Rastafari faith is rooted in 1930s Jamaica, growing as a response by Black people to white colonial oppression. Its beliefs are a melding of Old Testament teachings and a desire to return to Africa. Its message was spread across the world in the 1970s by Jamaican music icons Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, two of the faith's most famous exponents.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-rules-rastafari-man-cant-sue-louisiana-prison-officials-who-cut-his-dreadlocks","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-23T14:26:11.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F242c1a7%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F2784x1462%2B0%2B114%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252Fdc%252Ff3%252F8efa49c04a07a1e294d045f1a682%252Fscreenshot-2025-11-10-at-12-11-42-pm.png","slug":"supreme-court-rules-rastafari-man-cant-sue-louisiana-prison-guards-who-forcibly-cut-his-dreadlocks"},{"id":"4zcw8n","title":"Three arrested in woman’s shooting death in Hopkinsville","excerpt":"HOPKINSVILLE, Ky.

The combination of a structure design that did not meet building codes and alterations made to it over its 40 years meant that the other parts of the pool deck werent strong enough to withstand the extra load, leading to the type of slow-motion collapse.\"When building structures are designed and built to required codes and standards, they have margins against failure, meaning they should be able to support much more load than they are expected to bear, Judith Mitrani-Reiser, who co-led the investigation, said in a video accompanying the report. In the case of Champlain Towers South, these margins against failure were too narrow from the start.The report underscores findings that have trickled in since the 12-story beachfront condominium catastrophe, which showcase weeks of building distress and deeper-seated problems.RELATED STORY | Police Release 911 Calls After Florida Condo CollapseMost residents were asleep when the building in the tiny town of Surfside, Florida, a few miles north of Miami, collapsed into a huge pile of rubble at 1:22 a.m. on June 24, 2021.The dead included members of the areas large Orthodox Jewish community, along with the sister of Paraguays first lady, her family and their nanny. A Miami judge approved a more than $1 billion settlement for personal injury and wrongful death claims from the disaster.Harley Tropin, who represented the families of victims and survivors in a class-action lawsuit, declined to comment on the new report.The structure didn't meet the building codes in place at the time and the building's construction did not follow the design, including large planters being added on the pool deck, explained Mitrani-Reiser.In some locations, the design provided less than half of the code-required strength, she saidWork done later around the pool, in which sand and pavers were added, further strained an already structurally inadequate system, she said.Meanwhile, reinforcing steel in the pool deck and street-level parking slabs were corroded in some areas, according to NIST.Photos taken by people at the building in the weeks before the collapse show a long crack in a planter wall on the pool deck as well as cracks in the corner where the planter wall met a planter box, according to the NIST report. Less than a day before the collapse, that planter had detached from the pool deck.About one week before the tower collapsed, water that had been leaking from a ceiling in the parking garage increased, according to NIST. A few hours before the destruction, one person interviewed by investigators described it as a water faucet.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Cities Trust, But Dont Always Verify, Safety Of High-RisesPeople in the building described seeing the pool deck collapsing, one bay at a time as if dominoes were falling in a sequential chain reaction, said Mitrani-Reiser. Some said they felt a sudden wind in the lobby and others heard sounds like a jet engine.The pool deck started falling minutes before two parts of the tower. A strong concrete wall helped to keep the destruction from completely spreading to the third section, according to NIST.The companies responsible for designing and building the original structure in the late 1970s are no longer in operation.After the collapse, state legislators enacted a law in 2022 requiring condo associations to have sufficient reserves to cover major repairs. Some residents were caught off guard by hefty fees imposed to cover years of deferred maintenance expenses required to bring their buildings into compliance with the laws standards. That led to another law providing condo associations and residents more flexibility in handling the costs.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/a-deadly-collapse-at-a-florida-condo-happened-slowly-over-several-weeks-probe-finds","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"AP via Scripps News Group","publishDate":"2026-06-23T13:03:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F8180e75%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F6000x3150%2B0%2B425%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F7a%252F59%252F36dead8c4317860e129515409bfe%252Fap26173854425312.jpg","slug":"a-deadly-collapse-at-a-florida-condo-happened-slowly-over-several-weeks-probe-finds"},{"id":"lpmqs9","title":"Popular frozen foods recalled for potential plastic contamination, FDA says","excerpt":"(Gray News) – MorningStar Farms has voluntarily recalled two varieties of frozen foods for the possible presence of plastic in the food.The company known for its wide variety of vegetarian and plant-based alternatives is recalling its Buffalo Chikn’n Nuggets and Hot and Spicy Sausage Patties, the...","content":"(Gray News) – MorningStar Farms has voluntarily recalled two varieties of frozen foods for the possible presence of plastic in the food.The company known for its wide variety of vegetarian and plant-based alternatives is recalling its Buffalo Chikn’n Nuggets and Hot and Spicy Sausage Patties, the Food and Drug Association (FDA) said.

(WECT/Gray News) – While many people retire in their 60s, retirement is not in the vocabulary of 92-year-old Gilbert Martin. Martin, affectionately known as Mr. Gil, has been working at a Chick-fil-A in Wilmington, North Carolina for the last six years as a dining host.“I make sure the tables are clean, the floor is clean,” Martin said. “But the main thing is I take care of people out here first.”From natural gas to greeting customersMartin previously worked in the natural gas industry for decades. When he retired, he worked at Sam’s Club for over 12 years as a greeter until his position was eliminated.“After two months, I got bored and put in an application,” Martin said.Since that day, he has come to work at Chick-fil-A.“If you enjoy what you’re doing, it’s not work, and I look forward to coming in,” Martin said. “It’s crazy, isn’t it?”Customers notice when he’s goneMartin works Monday through Friday at the restaurant and customers take notice if he’s not there.“He had to take a couple days off, I think he had a cold,” said Mike Perdue, owner and operator of Chick-fil-A Oleander. “People were so concerned, it was crazy, ‘Where’s Mr. Gil? Is he okay?’”“He’s a great person, you don’t come across too many people like that,” Perdue said.Martin said his schedule gives him more opportunities to be there for others.“I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news,” he said. “I’m able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that.”Martin said he has no plans to leave and invites customers to say hi if they see him working.“I don’t know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great,” Martin said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/chick-fil-a-employee-says-its-his-pleasure-keep-working-92-years-old/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Jacee  Caldwell , Debra Worley","publishDate":"2026-06-23T07:50:51.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FCXHZHMJ7TBGJ7FJHJH2F3CGWWI.jpg%3Fauth%3De0579232b3533df79c79200786cd400b56e547b3023bd6d53920a67fab77f2ca%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"chick-fil-a-employee-says-its-his-pleasure-to-keep-working-at-92-years-old"},{"id":"5uykaf","title":"Tornado kills woman as neighbors try desperately to save her","excerpt":"JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ill.

(KFVS/Gray News) - A woman died Monday when a tornado destroyed her home as her neighbor attempted to rescue her.Delores Shelton was killed when the tornado struck her Jefferson County home. Rodney Gass, who had lived next door to Shelton for 35 years, tried to reach her as the storm approached.“She was on the porch and went in right before the storm hit. I don’t think she even knew it was coming,” Gass said.Rescue attemptGass, along with his wife and son Jacob, got in their pickup truck to reach Shelton, whom they called Bunny.“We pulled up in the yard, and the limbs started falling, so we couldn’t get up to the door, then I couldn’t back up. The truck started turning and the tornado got right on top of us and started turning the truck. We all got hit in the head when the tree hit the truck and caved the cab in. We couldn’t back up. We couldn’t go anywhere,” Gass said.When they got out of the truck, Shelton’s home was gone.“I got out and I realized the house was gone. It was 4-5 seconds. The house, garage, car and her side by side. The house - there was nothing left, not even a board,” Gass said.Jacob Gass was released from the hospital late Monday night after receiving a head injury.“You can see my big bumps on my head. The truck was spinning. We got thrown around pretty bad. Glass was shattering. I’m just thankful to be alive at this point,” Jacob Gass said.Shelton was later found unresponsive in the field across the road.“We couldn’t just leave her there. We got there but we didn’t get there in time,” Rodney Gass said, urging people to take warnings seriously.“When the alarm goes off on your phone or tv. You better look outside. It happens sometimes that we ignore them. We need to pay attention. Because it’s seconds. You just don’t have time,” he said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/tornado-kills-woman-neighbors-try-desperately-save-her/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Devin Kidd, Debra Worley","publishDate":"2026-06-23T06:10:12.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2F2CZ42LQCBFBFVHNES6D3OEITEI.png%3Fauth%3Dce81f4be5a158a63246de4ef264fa40c2654c935d2e99242ad9ed96e7ade955c%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"tornado-kills-woman-as-neighbors-try-desperately-to-save-her"},{"id":"3wsikl","title":"Undercover operation in Hendersonville leads to 5 human trafficking arrests","excerpt":"A multi-agency operation in Sumner County resulted in the arrest of 5 men on human-trafficking-related charges and the identification of 9 possible victims.","content":"A multi-agency operation in Sumner County resulted in the arrest of 5 men on human-trafficking-related charges and the identification of 9 possible victims.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/undercover-operation-in-hendersonville-leads-to-5-human-trafficking-arrests-duany-rodriguez-pena-alinson-ramirez-lazaro-rodriguez-kasin-barnes-christopher-torres-the-tennessee-bureau-of-investigation","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-20T20:15:44.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F828%2F986%2F0x9%2F90%2Fb782015b-d085-4e25-8423-c16b313e36b8-TennesseeBureauofInvestigationlogoWCYBphoto.PNG","slug":"undercover-operation-in-hendersonville-leads-to-5-human-trafficking-arrests"},{"id":"c7d4wp","title":"Franklin unveils markers honoring lynching victims, third still to come","excerpt":"A committee appointed by Franklin's mayor in 2020 reached a milestone Saturday, unveiling two of three approved historical markers in downtown Franklin.","content":"A committee appointed by Franklin's mayor in 2020 reached a milestone Saturday, unveiling two of three approved historical markers in downtown Franklin.","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/franklin-unveils-markers-honoring-lynching-victims-third-still-to-come-ken-moore-kenneth-hill-bicentennial-park-williamson-remembers-committee","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-20T19:53:57.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F3944%2F986%2F0x124%2F90%2F9dea6c86-0500-4b26-99ca-0ddf437bd1a6-WillamsonRemembersLynchingMarkersUnveiling14.JPG","slug":"franklin-unveils-markers-honoring-lynching-victims-third-still-to-come"},{"id":"r4pin5","title":"Aftyn Behn calls for federal investigation into Tennessee Department of Children's Service","excerpt":"A Tennessee state lawmaker is calling on federal officials to launch a sweeping investigation into the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (DCS), citing","content":"A Tennessee state lawmaker is calling on federal officials to launch a sweeping investigation into the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (DCS), citing","url":"https://fox17.com/news/local/aftyn-behn-tennessee-lawmaker-calls-for-federal-investigation-into-dcs","source":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","author":"FOX 17 WZTV Nashville (local news)","publishDate":"2026-06-19T20:55:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffox17.com%2Fresources%2Fmedia2%2F16x9%2F731%2F986%2F0x1%2F90%2F8bb6f78e-28b0-41c3-ae1f-4584126b7808-DCS2.png","slug":"aftyn-behn-calls-for-federal-investigation-into-tennessee-department-of-childrens-service"},{"id":"h2x409","title":"‘We Lost a Baby:' Family of Damarion Morehead, 12, killed in Nashville shooting speaks out -

For shoppers watching their budgets, experts say focus on necessities first.\"We will find great deals on those. Things like detergents and diapers, as well as more buzzy and exciting items,\" said smart shopping expert Trae Bodge.Prime Day perks this yearThis Prime Day, the deals are widespread with millions of deals across more than 35 categories.Prime members can save up to 60% off Amazon devices, up to 45% off Kindle Device bundles, and up to 50% off select rentals and purchases on Prime Video.Shoppers will also find deep discounts on back-to-school and college essentials, summer fashion, and beauty products.Shopping expert Claudia Lombana tells us smart home security is a standout category this Prime Day.\"MyQ's smart home security is simple, accessible, and now more affordable than ever. They've got deals up to 70% off,\" she said.She also points to deals on skin care, like COSRX's Blue Peptide Bakuchiol line up to 26% off during Prime Day.IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | The best ways to avoid package theft this Amazon Prime DayBeyond the headline deals, there are lesser-known perks tied to Prime Day, including $5 pizzas from Little Caesars, up to 30% off base rates with Avis and Budget, and early screenings of the new Spider-Man movie.At Walmart, shoppers will find price drops on laptops and toys. Target is advertising 40% off select women's clothing, outdoor toys and coolers, and backpacks.Don't fall into the overspending trapDespite the deals and the temptation, Sandberg urges shoppers to wait a day before clicking \"buy now.\"\"Chances are, it's not going to sell out,\" she said. \"It'll still be there, but it'll give you the opportunity to review your closet to see, 'Do I really have another gray jacket?' Just give yourself some time to think.\"Savvy shoppers can also make money on the items they were already planning to purchase using reward and cash back bonuses.\"You should have a credit card in your wallet that is giving you cash back or points whenever you're buying the things you typically buy,\" Bodge said.If you're considering an Amazon Prime Visa, now may be the time to apply. Amazon is offering new cardholders a $200 gift card.To get the most from these sales, only shop legitimate sites. Scammers create fake Amazon pages with prices that are too good to be true. The real site is Amazon.com  with no extra letters or numbers in the address.","url":"https://www.newschannel5.com/us-news/tvs-to-toothpaste-how-to-win-big-this-prime-day-without-overspending","source":"NewsChannel 5 WTVF (CBS affiliate)","author":"Emily Hanford-Ostmann","publishDate":"2026-06-23T12:13:59.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%2Fdims4%2Fdefault%2F40d1130%2F2147483647%2Fstrip%2Ftrue%2Fcrop%2F6000x3150%2B0%2B425%2Fresize%2F1200x630!%2Fquality%2F90%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fewscripps.brightspotcdn.com%252F3f%252F46%252F2068e1994e26b914d7438960ff85%252Fap24212507277869.jpg","slug":"tvs-to-toothpaste-how-to-win-big-this-prime-day-without-overspending"},{"id":"9nvu48","title":"New TPAC, Nashville Yards hotel among projects advancing in downtown Nashville - WKRN News 2","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMikgFBVV95cUxPY04yRThpV3ZZMVpLSVFhbW5aNjBSRGF4N2pSakJQVUpZQWE1TzhxdXpndncyYzd1T2RxYVlkU2tqYXlwZ1Vhc3ltOVlhTVg2SGxxWkVaS19ZUVJNOC1BQ0NiVVpseklxNkwtVVZqU1dUQWluaEoyelNENG1NREo2Y2dCSEJDYUxOWnp1RUQyWmt4QdIBlwFBVV95cUxPdnVRSDJsMEpmYkJwWmtjTVQ3SkpsYU1fUGZ...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMikgFBVV95cUxPY04yRThpV3ZZMVpLSVFhbW5aNjBSRGF4N2pSakJQVUpZQWE1TzhxdXpndncyYzd1T2RxYVlkU2tqYXlwZ1Vhc3ltOVlhTVg2SGxxWkVaS19ZUVJNOC1BQ0NiVVpseklxNkwtVVZqU1dUQWluaEoyelNENG1NREo2Y2dCSEJDYUxOWnp1RUQyWmt4QdIBlwFBVV95cUxPdnVRSDJsMEpmYkJwWmtjTVQ3SkpsYU1fUGZuaVpRRjZzOS0zcVNONW4tSVJRejRQUEM5dktLM3BNYzhZWmsxcE92emFhWVdmSTlDa2s5c1VlN2pXMThQNnlBZmtqUS1EXzJteGRFa0dUQWw4UHpWWnpjcUxoR1lTVFVmTGtMdlRDTTY1UlU5QVh5WkpGa3Iw?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">New TPAC, Nashville Yards hotel among projects advancing in downtown Nashville</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">WKRN News 2</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMikgFBVV95cUxPY04yRThpV3ZZMVpLSVFhbW5aNjBSRGF4N2pSakJQVUpZQWE1TzhxdXpndncyYzd1T2RxYVlkU2tqYXlwZ1Vhc3ltOVlhTVg2SGxxWkVaS19ZUVJNOC1BQ0NiVVpseklxNkwtVVZqU1dUQWluaEoyelNENG1NREo2Y2dCSEJDYUxOWnp1RUQyWmt4QdIBlwFBVV95cUxPdnVRSDJsMEpmYkJwWmtjTVQ3SkpsYU1fUGZuaVpRRjZzOS0zcVNONW4tSVJRejRQUEM5dktLM3BNYzhZWmsxcE92emFhWVdmSTlDa2s5c1VlN2pXMThQNnlBZmtqUS1EXzJteGRFa0dUQWw4UHpWWnpjcUxoR1lTVFVmTGtMdlRDTTY1UlU5QVh5WkpGa3Iw?oc=5","source":"Google News - Nashville TN","author":"Google News - Nashville TN","publishDate":"2026-06-23T12:03:23.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2FJ6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBuc%3Ds0-w300","slug":"new-tpac-nashville-yards-hotel-among-projects-advancing-in-downtown-nashville-wkrn-news-2"},{"id":"38jt76","title":"Pets of the Week for June 23, 2026","excerpt":"Looking for a new pet?

The four passengers who chose the roof were each cited for riding on the outside of a vehicle. “We’re all for making memories with friends, but becoming a traffic safety lesson isn’t the kind of memory anyone should be aiming for,” police said.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/several-cited-after-riding-roof-an-suv-40-mph-police-say/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Debra Worley","publishDate":"2026-06-23T05:41:58.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FRWJ5KEVRRNFSPGV2J256PGQXFU.png%3Fauth%3D4eb1ddd0a1a60677301586a7b6f65068e466542e97d024c02760109e212a354d%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"several-cited-after-riding-on-the-roof-of-an-suv-at-40-mph-police-say"},{"id":"uxuurz","title":"Jill Smokler, founder of Scary Mommy, dies of brain cancer at 48","excerpt":"(Gray News) – Popular mommy blogger Jill Smokler died at age 48, according to an obituary shared by her family on social media.

Smokler, who founded Scary Mommy, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2024.“It’s with broken hearts that we share that Jill passed away this morning, after a more than two-year fight with glioblastoma,” Smokler’s family wrote in a post on her official Instagram account. “She faced it the way she faced everything — funny, fierce, and completely herself.”Smokler started the Scary Mommy blog when she was home with three children under 4, according to Today.“She said the things mothers weren’t supposed to say out loud, and because she said them first, millions of you finally felt allowed to say them too,” her family wrote on Instagram.Scary Mommy said in a tribute post that because of Smokler’s vision, “everyone here can still feel validated, understood and seen as they do one of the hardest things you can do: parent.”In lieu of flowers, her family is asking that donations in her memory be made to the Brain Tumor Network.","url":"https://www.wsmv.com/2026/06/23/jill-smokler-founder-scary-mommy-dies-brain-cancer-48/","source":"WSMV 4 News (NBC affiliate)","author":"Debra Worley","publishDate":"2026-06-23T04:15:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://thenashville.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgray-wsmv-prod.gtv-cdn.com%2Fresizer%2Fv2%2F%2FNRCFKAIPAJFKRAVD35LIQM4WCU.jpg%3Fauth%3D56eec8e6d942e81d12e40ca02b96db72e714b6fcfe4e2766e9056231f80d6bcb%26smart%3Dfalse","slug":"jill-smokler-founder-of-scary-mommy-dies-of-brain-cancer-at-48"},{"id":"e018x","title":"Nashville homes selling faster than last year as market gains momentum, report says -
