    SHREWSBURY, Pennsylvania (WGAL) — Sidney Wilcox was at a red light when she noticed her car starting to smoke, prompting her to drive to a nearby parking lot to get herself and her 11-month-old son to safety, where a police officer’s act of kindness left a lasting impression.

“Just pure, just terror, not knowing what was going to happen, not knowing if he was going to get out safely or not,” Wilcox said. “You know what? If the door was locked.”

After pulling into the parking lot, Wilcox said everything went wrong at once.

“Yeah, I lost my brakes and I lost my steering. Right. As soon as I pulled in and I couldn’t pull into a spot or anything,” she said.

Not long after, the community jumped into action, with a few bystanders trying to put out the fire using fire extinguishers they had on hand. The police department and fire crews soon arrived to assist.

Officer Hanson from the Southern Regional Police Department was among those who helped the family.

“I was sitting in his car. He asked me and Henry to sit in his car because it was chilly out. You know, get warm,” Wilcox said. “So he came over and he said, ‘Whoever’s picking you up, do they have a car seat?’ And I’m like, ‘My parents are coming. I don’t know, I don’t think so.'”

In the midst of the chaos, Hanson offered a moment of pure kindness that Wilcox will never forget.

“I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to go get you a car seat. We can go up to Walmart, and we can go grab you one just so he has to take me home,” Wilcox said.

The kindness extended beyond putting out the fire.

“He said, ‘Pick out anyone you want.’ I said, ‘What’s my budget?’ And he goes, ‘Pick any one you want.’ So yeah, he was awesome,” Wilcox said.

Wilcox expressed her gratitude for the stranger who became the support her family needed in that moment.

“Thank you for being a genuine human. Because in my time of need, you were there,” she said.

Thankfully, Wilcox and her son escaped unharmed.

‘My heart is here’: After tough journey navigating lung cancer, officer returns to full duty

    BALTIMORE (WBAL) — November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and one Baltimore police officer shared his story of dedication to himself, his family and his job.

In March 2024, Stephen Diggs began working in the city’s Western District, an assignment he requested after graduating from the police academy. It’s a place he could not wait to get back to after battling a devastating illness.

Still, to most people’s surprise, Diggs says he’s blessed — blessed that he had Stage 3 lung cancer and not Stage 4.

Now, he is back on duty after doctors removed his left lung. He has had an extremely tough but remarkable journey. Diggs said it all started with a persistent and troubling cough. Soon after, tests showed he had a grapefruit-sized tumor in his left lung.

“I freaked out initially, the first nine days, I would say. I was having a moment with myself,” Diggs said.

Doctors performed surgery and needed to remove the whole lung.

“He took my left lung, and post-surgery, everything seemed fine for the first 12 hours. After that, I rapidly declined,” Diggs said.

Diggs was put on a ventilator for 22 days.

“I was in a coma-like state on the ventilator. There were two times I was no longer living. The doctors were great. I’m back, you know,” Diggs said.

Diggs’ recovery included learning how to walk again. He fulfilled his goal of coming back to full duty with the Baltimore police.

Now, he is again serving in the Western District, including the Penn North area — the scene of recent mass drug overdoses. He goes after guns and drugs.

“The drug aspect hits personally. My mom was an addict,” Diggs said. “She was a drug prostitute. My brother and I didn’t have a father growing up. I relate to a lot of the kids here. I think that’s why my heart is here,” Diggs said.

An African American officer intervened in Diggs’ life, and it inspired him.

“Just growing up in instability, I tell the young people here, ‘You don’t have to be a product of the environment you are in. You can overcome this,'” Diggs said.

Diggs believes he is a testament to that, and shares his experiences about life, love, caring and support with others.

Bride pulls over on the side of the road, in her wedding dress to help crash victim

    NEW ORLEANS (WDSU) — Moments after tying the knot on her wedding day, a bride who works at Ochsner Hospital stepped in to save a life, while she was still wearing her wedding dress.

The same night Heather Schubert walked down the aisle celebrating her new union, she ended up at a crash scene.

“We saw a man laying across the road, and his car, all the airbags were deployed,” Heather Ramsey Schubert said.

As newlyweds, Heather and her husband were driving home on I-10 Saturday night, the off-duty nurse saw a call to action.

“When you’re a nurse and you always put other people first, that’s always my first instinct,” Schubert said.

She wasted no time, rushing to help a man critically injured in a crash, before EMS arrived.

“I assisted in the manner of seeing what his pupils were like if we had any trauma responses, which he, in fact, did have trauma. His pupils were not reactive to light,” Schubert said.

Schubert works to save lives each day at Ochsner Hospital as a nurse. She says it’s just in her blood to protect.

“There’s never a question or a hesitation, I will probably always be the person to run into the accident and see if I can help,” Schubert said.

Critical care paramedic Steven Tafoya said emergency teams are trained on how to respond to situations like this.

“Just because we’re off the clock doesn’t mean that instinct stops,” Tafoya said. “So what this lady did on her wedding day was remarkable and shows her commitment to health care in general.”

Although it was not the ending Heather expected for her wedding day, she said she would not change a thing.

“I would hope that anybody, whether they’re a nurse or not, anybody if they see someone in trouble would run and do the same thing,” Schubert said.

The victim’s condition is unclear, but everyone involved hopes for a full recovery.

Family of man found dead on golf course wants answers

    BROOKFIELD, Wisconsin (WISN) — A family is calling for answers after a man was found dead on a Brookfield golf course.

Brookfield police said first responders found the man hanging from a tree at the Brookfield Hills Golf Course near I-94 and Moorland Rd. early Thursday morning, Nov. 13.

Family identified the man to WISN 12 News as 39-year-old Torrance, or Tory, Medley.

Chief Chris Garcia said while their investigation remains open, evidence points to Medley’s death being a suicide.

Medley’s family said they’re without closure. They’re calling on police to conduct a thorough investigation.

“When I called and they told me what happened, I just was in a state of disbelief,” Shena Medley said. “It just doesn’t seem real.”

Shena Medley, Tory’s older sister, spoke with WISN 12 News from Hawaii about her brother. She said the family grew up in Mukwonago. Tory moved to California for some time before moving back to the Milwaukee area. Shena remembers her brother for his heart.

“He’s very mild-mannered, very sweet, very kind. I’ve never heard him speak ill of anything or anyone. He just had a very innocent spirit. One of his classmates mentioned he was a gentle, gentle soul. And that definitely was Tory,” Shena said.

“Does he have any connection to that golf course that you know about?” WISN 12 News reporter Kendall Keys asked.

“No, not that we know of,” Shena said. “He was living in Milwaukee. He was living down off of Saint Paul. So, he didn’t have a vehicle. And so the question is, how did he get out there? When did he get out there? Why did he go out there?”

Brookfield police said Tory was found with a strap around his neck. The other end was attached to a tree branch.

“None of us understand this. It’s important to know because there are other people who live in that community, if something did actually happen, people need to know how to look out and protect their children, their nieces, their nephews,” Shena said. “It’s not just, you know, a family issue for us. it’s an issue for the entire community. If it was suicide, we’ll accept that. But if it was something else, we’ll accept that, too. We just need to know that all I’s have been dotted, T’s have been crossed, and it’s been fully reviewed and investigated, which is only fair.”

Shena said that while she recognizes her brother had struggles, she doesn’t believe he would have taken his own life.

“If you ask me, honestly, I don’t think he did this, but he had some mental health challenges, so it is a possibility. But, you know, he left messages for family members talking about employment opportunities and this and that. So it didn’t sound like somebody who’s done with their life,” Shena said.

Shena asked anyone with information or possible surveillance video of her brother to come forward.

“I just wanted people to know that he had a name. That he was a really good person, a good man, and he had a family that loved him incredibly,” Shena said.

“Our hearts go out to Mr. Medley’s family and loved ones. We are still actively investigating his death. The investigation still indicates he died by suicide,” Garcia said.

On Nov. 23, the City of Brookfield Police Department said in a release that they met with Medley’s family to provide an update on their investigation.

In their Sunday release, they said there is no indication of foul play in Medley’s death. Other than injuries caused by asphyxiation, there were no other obvious signs of trauma to his body. Police said there was no evidence at the scene suggesting anyone was else was there at the time of his death.

Police said they were aware of Medley experiencing mental health challenges in the days prior to his death.

Police also said they are still working to collect as much surveillance video as possible, including places he frequented, businesses near the golf course and footage from Milwaukee County Transit System buses.

“We understand the public’s desire for answers, and we share that commitment,” Chief Christopher Garcia of the City of Brookfield Police Department said. “However, the spread of inaccurate information does not help the investigation nor the family. We will continue to follow the facts wherever they lead, and we will share additional verified information when available. Our thoughts remain with Mr. Medley’s family during this difficult and painful time.”

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, help is available 24/7. Text or call 988 for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.

Skid pad gives drivers place to drift without threat of getting arrested

    SACRAMENTO, California (KMAX, KOVR) — A Sacramento skid pad for drivers to do donuts all day long aims to give them the thrill of spinouts without the threat of arrest.

The acre of asphalt located on Jackson Highway is for drivers daring to turn their vehicles into thrill rides.

“You don’t have to do it on the street, that’s the big thing,” said Flora Harding, who owns an automotive business that caters to racing.

Harding created this space for drivers to test and tune their cars, and is now attracting anyone seeking a safe and legal wild ride.

“Lately, there’s been a lot of sideshows and it’s affecting businesses, it’s affecting our streets, it’s affecting police activity,” Harding said. “It’s affecting a lot of stuff.”

“So we decided, you know what, we can give these people a safe place to do this, so they don’t get into trouble,” Harding continued. “So they don’t hurt themselves or other people.”

“We’re coming out just having some fun drifting on the weekend,” driver Matthew Gershey said.

Gershey is one of the drivers who paid the $100 price for admission.

“It’s a legal spot to do it and you don’t have to worry about risking your driver’s license on the streets or anything like that,” Gershey said.

Sacramento police are just one of many local law enforcement agencies working to crack down on illegal sideshows. Street takeovers can lead to impounded cars and fines and jail time. The governor signed four laws increasing penalties statewide in 2024.

“It’s kind of a little bit of like let’s get these kids off the street and let’s help our local police officers that have to deal with this every day,” Harding said.

An EMT is on site during operating hours and a helmet is required.

Woman gets tax relief after years of taxation on phantom basement

By Matt Flener

Click here for updates on this story

    RAY COUNTY, Missouri (KMBC) — Teresa Blakeman will get property tax relief after nearly two decades of getting taxed for a basement she never had.

Blakeman recently discovered the mistake on her property tax assessments when shopping for home insurance.

Blakeman’s property tax records with the Ray County Assessor’s Office indicated a full basement to the insurance company.

But her home was built on a slab. She had never noticed since her taxes are taken out on her mortgage statement.

The assessor’s office sent out someone to verify and corrected the home’s value for this tax year.

Still, Blakeman wasn’t satisfied. She wanted even more relief.

So, she contacted KMBC 9 Investigates.

“I felt stuck, you know, where I go, what do I do?” she said. “This is not right. This is not fair.”

Ray County Assessor Linda Coleman, who took office in 2021, opened the books, did more research, and worked to find a creative solution within Missouri’s tax laws after a call from KMBC 9 Investigates. She and her staff had already started working on the case to research and make sure they had everything right.

Coleman said she and the collector are limited by state law on corrections for only the past three years.

On Wednesday, she agreed to freeze Blakeman’s home value through 2027, saving her roughly $1,000.

“I would be upset if something was assessed to my property that didn’t belong there,” Coleman said. “When we find the corrections, we try to do what we can to work with the collector and see, ‘What can we do about this?’”

Coleman said Blakeman’s case is a good reminder to check with your insurance company and your local property tax assessor to make sure all information on your property tax records are correct.

“I got just what justice I can get,” Blakeman said.

Blakeman is grateful for the help and encouraged every other taxpayer to verify their information.

Tyson Foods to close beef processing plant in Lexington, Nebraska

CNN Newsource on November 24, 2025

By Jake Anderson

    Nebraska (KHBS, KHOG) — Tyson Foods is closing a beef processing plant in Nebraska, the company announced Friday.

The beef facility in Lexington, Nebraska, will end operations, and the company will shift its beef facility in Amarillo, Texas, to a single, full-capacity shift, officials said.

“Tyson Foods recognizes the impact these decisions have on team members and the communities where we operate. The company is committed to supporting our team members through this transition, including helping them apply for open positions at other facilities and providing relocation benefits,” Tyson Foods said in a statement.

The company did not provide a timeline for the plant to end operations.

The Springdale, Arkansas-based meat processor has five other plants in Nebraska, including one in Omaha.

In a statement, Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said the state’s cattle industry is “resilient and the envy of the world.”

“Our workforce can outwork anybody. Big picture – our excellent cattlemen and cattle feeders have emerging opportunities and will still have the Tyson market to sell into as its planned re-organization will boost capacity and jobs at other Nebraska plants. Tyson leadership has also promised to continue to work on future value-added opportunities here in the state. The state of Nebraska is ready to build for the future and do what it can do to support employees affected by this change,” Pillen said in a statement.

U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said in a statement that she is “extremely disappointed.”

“As the single largest employer in Lexington, Tyson’s announcement will have a devastating impact on a truly wonderful community, the region, and our state. Nebraskans are nothing if not resilient, and Lexington has a robust workforce. I hope their skill and experience will be sought after by other employers. Nebraska is the beef state, and we know better than anyone the highs and lows of the cattle market. It’s no secret that just a few years ago, packers like Tyson were making windfall profits while the rest of the industry was continuously in the red. As we head into the holiday season, I call on Tyson to do everything in its power to take care of the families affected by this short-sighted decision,” Fischer said.

U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts called the decision “heartbreaking.”

“I will do everything I can to support the Nebraskans who are impacted by this decision. We must help them stay in our state and find work close to home. This news is especially heartbreaking around the holidays. I ask for Nebraskans to keep the community of Lexington in their prayers,” Ricketts said in a statement.

Rep. Mike Flood released a statement, saying Nebraskans will overcome this hardship.

“This is devastating news for our beef producers, for Lexington, and the whole State of Nebraska. Ranchers have dutifully raised cattle even when times were hard. Now, they are being abandoned. After Tyson closed their Norfolk plant in 2006, they stripped the plant bare so it couldn’t be used as a beef processing facility. That plant still sits empty today. As they wind down their Lexington plant, Tyson needs to preserve it, so it can remain a beef processing operation and keep good paying jobs in Dawson County that support our ag communities. No matter what, I know that Nebraskans will work together to pull through this,” Flood said in a statement.

School board appointee un-resigns, saying nude sex scene filmed years ago won’t define her

CNN Newsource on November 24, 2025

    CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee (WTVF) — Teresa Crosslin went from what she called a day filled with joy to reliving one of the lowest points in her life within hours of being sworn in as the newest Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board member.

Hours after taking her oath, Crosslin was told the district knew about a television appearance where she appeared to have sex on camera. She abruptly resigned without much explanation, and rumors soon spread about a possible appearance on the reality show “Gigolos,” which aired more than 10 years ago.

The next day, Crosslin published an article in Clarksville Now titled “I reacted out of fear,” where she admits it was her in the show, but under a different name.

“Yes, the information from the initial call is true. I’ve never denied it happened – I just didn’t comment about it when previously asked. Nearly 13 years ago, during a low point in my life, I appeared in the show referenced. We all have chapters we wish we could rewrite. Mine is now on full display. I own it. I do not hide from it. And I will not allow it to define me. I recommitted my life to Christ, and I stand today as a new creation in Him,” Crosslin wrote.

Comments poured in with mixed reactions. Some praised Crosslin for her courage to speak openly, while others questioned whether someone who appeared to have sex on television was suitable for a position involving children’s education.

Crosslin blamed her Democratic opponents for notifying county commissioners in what she believes was a politically motivated attempt to intimidate her out of what was already a highly-contested race.

What we know about the Showtime show is that it ran under the premise of hired gigolos making women’s wildest fantasies come true. Crosslin is seen meeting up with her “trainer” as the two worked out, before stripping down and appearing to have sex.

Montgomery County Commissioner David Shelton said he’s heard from those concerned about Crosslin’s actions, but his primary concern involves her decision-making process.

“If you’re going to resign and then un-resign, does that tell us what your decision-making is like,” Shelton said.

Crosslin offered an apology for what she acknowledged may have caused public confusion.

“To the public, I apologize for the whiplash caused by my resignation and now my withdrawal of that resignation. My initial decision was made in a moment of panic and isolation. After prayer, counsel and reflection, I know I am ready and willing to serve our community with integrity, resilience and renewed purpose. Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for the privilege to serve,” Crosslin said.

Shelton said making matters even more complicated was whether Crosslin was allowed to return to the same position she had just forfeited.

County officials said Friday morning that since commissioners never had time to accept Crosslin’s resignation, she gets to keep the position.

Crosslin is expected to accept her role with the school board while they wait for an election next fall.

Shelton, who voted for someone he said was more qualified for the job, told us he’s staying out of moral debates. As the only gay man serving on the commission, he said he understands what it’s like to have people question his capability to serve based on his personal life.

“I’ve had a lot of people tell me that I should resign because we don’t need that kind of thing,” Shelton said.

When asked for advice for Crosslin, Shelton responded without hesitation.

“Get a thick skin and don’t let people push you around. Do what is right and remember who you serve,” Shelton said.

I reached out to Crosslin for comment, but did not hear back. School board members directed questions to the county commission, which would only say they’re reviewing Crosslin’s ability to return to the school board.

This is a developing story.

Blue Cross Blue Shield to end SilverSneakers coverage at YMCA, Life Time gyms

CNN Newsource on November 24, 2025

By Conor Wight

Click here for updates on this story

    Minnesota (WCCO) — Saturday afternoon at the Southdale YMCA in Edina, Minnesota, you could hear feet pounding on treadmills and weighted plates striking each other as people of all ages exercised.

Away from the machines, you could hear the sound of whispers, as senior members try to work out what they’re going to do in 2026 after finding out their insurance will no longer cover their gym membership.

This week, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota began telling customers that both the YMCA of the North and Life Time gyms would no longer be covered as of Jan. 1, 2026.

For several years, those chains have been included under the SilverSneakers program, which covers the cost of gym membership for Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare recipients.

According to YMCA leadership, this impacts around 7,800 seniors who use the locations in the Twin Cities metro. Blue Cross Blue Shield said that YMCA locations in Greater Minnesota will not be impacted.

“I’m just so angry at the way they did this,” Diane Hurley said.

Hurley, 84, said that she was shocked to hear the news. After retirement, she said the Southdale YMCA became a lifeline for her; a place to follow a healthy routine and form social bonds with other senior members of the community who might otherwise be sitting at home.

“We don’t want to lose our health insurance. We don’t want to lose our ability to work out and to stay healthy,” Hurley said. “I don’t want to lose that. It’s far too important.”

In a statement to WCCO, a spokesperson for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota confirmed this was about the money involved.

“As a market, Minnesota is experiencing high cost pressures related to Medicare coverage. In order to ensure Blue Cross could continue offering SilverSneakers to our Medicare members in Minnesota, we needed to adjust the network structure of locations included in the program,” the statement read in part.

The insurance company notes that when the coverage at the YMCA of the North and Life Time ends on Jan. 1, its Medicare members will still have access to more than 600 SilverSneakers locations. Hurley said that most cannot provide the same services as the YMCA when it comes to classes and support systems designed for seniors.

“Did somebody just bump up their salary, find a new car they needed? This is unfair, totally unfair,” Hurley said.

Hurley and thousands of others, like Greg Socha, are now looking at the possibility of having to change insurance providers or pay the YMCA $77 per month to maintain gym membership. Socha has a dedicated routine at the Edina gym that he loves, but he’s not sure what he’ll do now with just two weeks left in the open enrollment period. In fact, he said he only just signed with Blue Cross Blue Shield in large part because of the access to the YMCA.

“Theoretically, I’m not coming here anymore,” Socha said, looking around the gym floor at the Southdale YMCA on Saturday.

The open enrollment period began in mid-October and ends on Dec. 7. Hurley is one of several people frustrated that they only received this news in late November.

“The makeup of the network itself is subject to change at any time. Specific participating locations are not guaranteed and can differ by plan,” a Blue Cross Blue Shield spokesperson said.

One woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said that she had just agreed to a plan that would see her premium go up by 16% next year only to lose YMCA access.

“There are going to be a lot of seniors, unfortunately, who are on fixed incomes and aren’t going to be able to afford the extra $1,000 a year and they may just give up, and that will be really sad,” the woman said. “It’s a very short-sighted decision on Blue Cross Blue Shield’s part. The way to keep health costs down is to keep us healthy and the way to keep us healthy is to encourage and motivate people to exercise.”

Glen Gunderson, CEO for YMCA of the North, told WCCO that his team only found out about the change this week as well. He said that he considers Blue Cross Blue Shield to be a strong partner, but he’s encouraging concerned seniors to consider other insurers that may work with the SilverSneakers program.

The YMCA is pointing to companies like Allina Health, Aetna, HealthPartners, Humana, Medica and UnitedHealthcare.

“We have huge respect for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, their leaders are amazing, they are up against, I’m sure, very challenging economic times like we all are,” Gunderson said. “We’ve just been surprised. We came to find this out as I said on Wednesday late in the game and it’s unfortunate. We’re disappointed that seniors are being caught up in it.”
