    LEXINGTON, Kentucky (WLEX) — A back-to-school haircut is a common practice, but it’s not so common to go back to school to get a haircut. That’s the objective of a program from the Sharp Futures Foundation, which is putting barbershops and beauty salons in schools.

To start December, Winburn Middle School became the next recipient of an in-school barbershop. Sharp Futures hopes to spread this model across Kentucky, and around the country.

“A haircut can change how they actually see themselves, but having a barber as a consistent mentor, that can actually change the way they see their future,” said C.J. Carter, founder and executive director of the program.

These barbers are local Lexington mentors from the Porch Barbershop. One of them is Vincent Davis.

“I’ve been cutting hair for almost 10 years now,” Davis said. “I started doing it just out of high school, just me and my buddies and stuff like that, and it kind of just grew from that.”

Through this in-school program, people like Davis will have the opportunity to catch up with students every two to three weeks.

“I think it gives the kids something different,” Davis added. “You got regular core content and curriculum that they follow, and it’s something that they’re used to, but this is something more hands on, it’s more physical. They can give them some kind of an outlet we can talk.”

“When they’re able to see somebody who looks like them who’s able to pour into them,” said Carter, “That really goes a long way.”

This is the second in-school barbershop in Lexington, and the fourth one in Kentucky. The program is in place at Tates Creek Middle School, and another one will begin operating at Martin Luther King Jr. Academy in two weeks.

With a growing program, Carter said that anyone who would like to support can text the word SHARP to 53555, or visit sharpfutures.org.

Woman prepares unreal Thanksgiving spread for her backyard squirrels: ‘Want them to feel special’

    ENGLEWOOD, Colorado (KMGH) — An Englewood woman was back for the fifth year with a Thanksgiving spread for her backyard squirrels, and the menu was unreal.

Christina Ardolino shared photos with Denver7 through the station’s Discover Colorado | Through Your Photos Facebook group. One snap shows a squirrel with an ear-to-ear smile as he eyes a carefully-prepared pancake.

Here’s what was in this year’s spread, according to Christina:

Peanut butter, banana and walnut pancakes garnished with pecan crumble Peanut butter, banana and walnut quesadillas Banana slices tossed in walnut crumble, drizzled with peanut butter and garnished with pecan crumbs Peanut butter cookies, frosted with peanut butter, sprinkled with pecan crumbs and garnished with a sunflower seed Pecan pie A layered peanut butter banana walnut cake, frosted with peanut butter, topped with pecan crumbs and garnished with pecan dust A peanut butter filled cone topped with pecan crumble Side of sliced grapes, walnuts, and pecans

She tells Denver7 it can take up to 2-3 hours to prepare all of the miniature treats – and there’s a heartwarming reason for the effort.

“I absolutely LOVE animals,” she told Denver7 in a message. “I spend a lot of time around them as I am also a wildlife photographer. I’m also an empath and I want them to feel extra special during the holidays just like everyone else.”

Christina said she regularly feeds the squirrels an assortment of mixed nuts, but goes big for the holidays.

“Every living being deserves to feel love and that’s my way of sharing it,” she said.

MDSO releases bodycam video of shootout between armed suspect and deputy near Cutler Bay; suspect killed

    Florida (WFOR) — New bodycam video released by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office shows some tense and frightening moments as a deputy and a suspect in a minivan were involved in a gun battle in Southwest Miami-Dade, resulting in the suspect’s death.

MDSO wants to be transparent with the community

Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said, “We recognize incidents of this nature raise questions and concerns with our community, and I believe the public has the right to see critical incidents involving law enforcement.”

She also said, “My commitment is clear: to be transparent with our community, to hold ourselves to the highest standards, and to continue to work every day and to earn and maintain your trust.”

Shots ring out in bodycam video MDSO said the incident started on Sept. 16, when there was a 911 call about a man pointing a firearm at people around SW 216th Street and 122nd Avenue.

That suspect was later identified as 44-year-old Jose Pineda Jr.

A 911 caller said, “There’s a guy in a Honda, He’s pulling a gun on everybody. Please send police. Hurry up now.”

MDSO said when Sgt. Gilberto Crespo arrived at the scene, Pineda was sitting inside a minivan. Crespo then reportedly ordered Pineda to show his hands; however, Pineda shouted back, “I got no hands.”

Then, gunfire erupted.

MDSO said Pineda fired rounds at Deputy Crespo, and some bullets struck his patrol car. The deputy was forced to hide behind a pickup truck to take cover.

In the bodycam video, Crespo can be heard shouting, “Shots fired. Shots fired. He’s armed. He’s in the car. He’s in the car.”

At some point, Pineda left his vehicle while still holding his firearm. A 2nd deputy arrived and found Pineda on the ground. Then, that deputy can be heard saying, “Where is he? Subject down. Subject down.”

Pineda received medical aid and was taken to the hospital, but didn’t survive his injuries, MDSO said.

Officers tasked with making split-second decisions, says PBA president CBS News Miami showed the bodycam video to Steadman Stahl, the president of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association.

Stahl said, “That’s absolutely incredible. These officers have to make split-second decisions. That video is just a tip of what these officers have to do in those life and death situations. You see it in seconds, not minutes, not hours. They pull up to a scene and get out of their car, and have to discharge their firearm. That was a gun battle.”

He continued, “I am glad the department is putting out that video. You can see the subject is armed. I believe other people saw him pointing his gun at people. That was not the first time the gentleman had done that.”

How many police officers have been shot nationwide As the video is released, the Fraternal Order of Police released new figures about the number of police officers shot nationwide so far this year.

The FOP said 314 officers have been shot in the line of duty, and 43 of them were killed.

CBS News Miami tried to speak with Pineda’s family; however, they haven’t been found. The deputy-involved shooting is under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Winter warriors: Disc golfers turn snowstorm into weekend adventure

CNN Newsource on December 1, 2025

By Abbey Hamachek

    MANITOWOC, Wisconsin (WGBA) — While most people stayed indoors during Saturday’s snowfall in Manitowoc, a group of disc golf enthusiasts decided to embrace the winter weather at Silver Creek Park.

The City of Manitowoc declared a snow emergency this weekend, reminding residents to keep their cars off the street so plows can make their way through. As roads began to cover quickly, four friends saw it as an invitation to get outside.

“It’s better than being cooped up, we’ve been cooped up the last few days,” said Ben Picard, a Plymouth resident. “So to get outside and do something even if it’s not the greatest weather, hang out with the buddies and have a good time throwing discs in the snow.”

The group calls disc golf their weekend routine, just with more snow this time.

“We like to go all year round and the first snowfall is always kind of fun to go in,” said Raymond Kulow, a Sheboygan Falls resident.

Picard added they were looking to “work off the Thanksgiving calories.”

The players say the game changes in cold weather, and that’s all part of the fun.

“The plastic is always stiffer, it flies a little different,” Kulow said. “And then when you throw in the snow it’s a little slippery. It’s just a different challenge you don’t always experience.”

From the sound of their laughs, they don’t seem to mind the cold, though some would prefer warmer weather.

“I don’t like anything about the snow,” said Mitchell Propson, a Kiel resident.

Whether you’re out enjoying the snow or staying warm inside, make sure your car is off the street so crews can clear the roads safely.

New bill would require women to collect medical waste in a ‘catch kit’ after using abortion pills

CNN Newsource on December 1, 2025

By Duaa Israr

Click here for updates on this story

    WISCONSIN (WDJT) — A new bill introduced in the state Legislature would require women to collect their abortion waste.

Rep. Lindee Brill says she believes abortion waste is contaminating our water, but her opponents say there’s not enough data to support that claim.

“We, as women, are taking chemicals to end pregnancy in our own homes and putting it then into our public water system,” said Brill.

It’s called the “Clean Water for All Act.” Co-sponsored by Brill, the act would require doctors to provide women a “catch kit,” or a waste bag that would allow them to collect blood and tissue after using abortion pills. The waste would then be returned to a doctor’s office.

“They would be required to dispose of that hazardous material, those chemicals that are then entering our water system,” said Brill.

Brill says she hopes through the bill, abortion pill manufacturers, who would be responsible for providing ways to dispose of the waste under the new bill, will only allow the pills to be used at a doctor’s office.

“If it were up to me, we wouldn’t even have abortion pills in Wisconsin, but with that being said, under our current environment and what our current law is, the manufacturer can now say a woman should be taking the misoprostol in a medical facility so that she can be monitored and so that hazardous material can be disposed properly,” said Brill. “We know there’s also women silently suffering and dealing with this on their own.”

It’s a bill that’s received strong criticism from Democrats.

“I strongly oppose this bill because I believe politicians should not have a role in deciding what you do with your health and your life and your body,” said State Sen. Kelda Roys.

Brill cites a study from the New York Academy of Sciences which argues that endocrine disruptors, or chemicals that interfere with human hormones, are contaminating the water.

The U.S Food and Drug Administration has rejected that argument, stating there is no evidence that single use abortion pills contaminate the water.

We reached out to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to see how abortion waste impacts the state’s water quality but did not hear back.

State Senator LaTonya Johnson, who served on the Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewerage District Commission from 2017-2021, agreed, arguing this is another method to restrict access to abortion.

“This is not something that has risen to the level of crisis or risen to the level of being on someone’s radar,” said Johnson. “And this was never an issue of concern. I’ve never heard of it.”

ICE CUBE SET TO IGNITE RED ROCKS WITH A 420 EXPERIENCE FOR THE AGES

CNN Newsource on December 1, 2025

    December 01, 2025 (Houston Style Magazine) — Ice Cube is proving—yet again—that legends don’t simply tour; they make moments. And on Monday, April 20, 2026, the global icon will bring his fire, force, and four decades of cultural dominance to the world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre for 420 on the Rocks, presented by AEG. With Big Boi and Czarface joining the lineup, this is shaping up to be one of the most electrifying hip-hop events of 2026.

Hip-Hop Titan Returns April 20, 2026, With Big Boi & Czarface for a Monumental Night in the Rockies

This headlining return lands fresh off Cube’s critically celebrated national one-man tour, Truth to Power: 4 Decades of Attitude, where the West Coast architect delivered explosive, no-opening-act performances in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and more. Critics weren’t just impressed—they were in awe.

Black Enterprise hailed Cube for delivering “far more than today’s typical concerts,” while the Cleveland Plain Dealer marveled that he “never sounded out of breath or out of command”—a rare feat in today’s era of backing tracks and shortcuts. Dallas Observer crowned his show “an absolute treat…not to be missed,” and Rolling Out captured the raw electricity of fans losing themselves the moment the opening beat of “F*** tha Police” cracked through the speakers “like a lightning strike.”

In short: Ice Cube did not come to play. He came to remind America that he’s still one of hip-hop’s most unshakeable pillars.

Red Rocks + 420 + Ice Cube = A Cultural Earthquake Waiting to Happen

Perched among towering sandstone monoliths and boasting some of the most revered acoustics on the planet, Red Rocks Amphitheatre is more than a venue—it’s a rite of passage for music greats. From soul icons to rock gods, the legendary Colorado stage has hosted artists who define generations.

On 420, one of the most spirited cultural days of the year, Ice Cube returns to carve his moment into the mountain.

Joining him is Big Boi, one half of the legendary OutKast and a Southern rap pioneer whose stage presence alone can turn any night into a festival.

Rounding out the powerhouse lineup is Czarface—the hip-hop supergroup featuring Inspectah Deck of the Wu-Tang Clan, 7L, and Esoteric—bringing gritty East Coast lyricism to balance this West Coast–meets–Dirty South–meets–Boom Bap collision.

Three regions. Three eras. One monumental night.

Why This Show Matters

Ice Cube performing at Red Rocks on 420 is more than an event—it’s a cultural alignment. The date, the venue, the lineup, and Cube’s unstoppable momentum form a perfect storm for fans craving authenticity, nostalgia, artistry, and pure unfiltered hip-hop energy.

Following his most successful year of touring in over a decade, this Red Rocks performance is expected to be a highlight not only of Cube’s 2026 schedule—but of the entire live music calendar.

With no gimmicks, no shortcuts, and no slowing down, Ice Cube continues to show exactly why he remains one of the most respected voices in music, film, sports, business, and culture.

Tickets & Event Details

Tickets are on sale now—Friday, November 21 at 10:00 AM MT—via RedRocksOnline.com and all official ticketing partners. Fans who know the history of 420 at Red Rocks understand one thing: these tickets do not last.

ABOUT ICE CUBE: A LIVING BLUEPRINT OF AMERICAN CULTURE

From architecting gangsta rap with N.W.A. to becoming a multi-hyphenate mogul whose impact spans music, film, sports, and business, Ice Cube remains one of the most influential figures in modern entertainment.

His milestones include:

Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame honoree Creator of blockbuster franchises including Friday, Barbershop, 21 Jump Street, and Ride Along Executive producer of the Oscar-nominated blockbuster Straight Outta Compton Founder of BIG3, the groundbreaking professional 3-on-3 basketball league With over $1 billion in global box office earnings, groundbreaking artistic contributions, and an unwavering commitment to storytelling, community, and cultural truth, Ice Cube continues to shape the landscape—on his own terms.

Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation Elevates the Fight Against Exploitation with Powerful “No Trafficking Zone” Press Conference at NRG Stadium

CNN Newsource on December 1, 2025

By Francis Page, Jr.

Click here for updates on this story

    December 01, 2025 (Houston Style Magazine) — On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, the West Club at NRG Stadium transformed into a hub of purpose, partnership, and protection as the Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation (HCSCC) hosted its annual No Trafficking Zone (NTZ) Press Conference. What unfolded was not simply a press event—it was a declaration that Houston leadership is united, unwavering, and ready to push the nation’s anti-trafficking movement into an even stronger era.

Five years after NRG Park made history as the first sports and entertainment campus in America designated a No Trafficking Zone, stakeholders convened to mark not just an anniversary, but the growth of a movement now replicated across stadiums, arenas, and sports organizations nationwide. NTZ’s pioneering Game Over Initiative has become the blueprint for community-protection models coast to coast, proving—once again—that Houston leads where others follow.

Leaders, Lawmakers, and Changemakers Stand Shoulder to Shoulder

The morning featured remarks from influential voices dedicated to ensuring that public venues remain safe spaces for families and young people.

Houston City Council Member Twila Carter (At-Large Position 3) represented the Mayor’s Office with a message of unity and civic responsibility, reinforcing that Houston will continue strengthening systems that protect its residents—especially its most vulnerable.

Texas State Representative Ron Reynolds (District 27) delivered one of the event’s most impassioned speeches, calling for bold, statewide action to make Texas a comprehensive No Trafficking Zone. With laser focus, he emphasized the urgent need for legislation like SB 1212, highlighting his collaboration with NTZ to elevate survivor protections, expand public awareness, and embed trafficking prevention into Texas’ public safety infrastructure.

“Every community, every county, and every venue must be part of the solution,” Reynolds urged, drawing nods across the room.

A Vision Carried by Survivors, Champions, and National Partners

At the center of the movement stands Jacquelyn Aluotto, President of No Trafficking Zone, whose leadership continues to shape national anti-exploitation strategies. Aluotto outlined NTZ’s sustained mission to disrupt trafficking networks through education, visibility, partnerships, and community-driven prevention. She also proudly acknowledged NTZ’s recent honor: the Jerry Kramer NFL Alumni Child ID Trailblazer Award, recognizing the organization’s groundbreaking child-safety initiatives.

Aluotto then introduced the national and regional partners anchoring the NTZ Game Over Initiative:

Mike McDaniels, Director, Houston HIDTA Captain Mike Santos, Harris County Sheriff’s Office Kenny Hansmire, Executive Director, National Child ID Program Mike Singletary, NFL Hall of Famer and national advocate for youth protection Singletary reminded attendees that athletes and NFL alumni hold enormous influence in shaping cultural awareness around child safety. “The locker room has power—but so does the community,” he said, emphasizing the importance of collective vigilance.

Survivor Testimony: The Heart of the Movement

Perhaps the most moving moment came from Courtney Litvak, a nationally recognized survivor advocate whose courage has reshaped the way communities understand exploitation. Litvak shared how NTZ signage placed strategically throughout NRG Park is more than just messaging—it is lifesaving visibility, capable of interrupting trafficking situations and signaling hope to those who feel unseen.

Her testimony underscored a truth that resonated throughout the stadium: survivor-led strategies are essential, not optional, in any effective anti-trafficking framework.

Houston Sets the Standard—Again

This year’s No Trafficking Zone Press Conference reaffirmed Houston’s leadership in anti-trafficking innovation. Through cross-agency collaboration, survivor-centered initiatives, and a strong coalition of elected officials, law enforcement, nonprofits, and national partners, NRG Park continues to serve as a model for venue-based child protection and community empowerment.

As the NTZ Game Over Initiative expands its reach across the United States, Houston remains the proving ground—a city showing what is possible when compassion, strategy, and courage converge.

For families, visitors, and the millions who pass through NRG Park each year, one message now rings louder than ever:

Game Over. Not in Our House. Not in Our County. Not on Our Watch.

Man tries lottery out of boredom, scores over $950K win

    RALEIGH, North Carolina (WLOS) — Burnsville’s Matthew Shepherd told lottery officials he was sitting at home bored on the day before Thanksgiving and decided to try his luck with the North Carolina Education Lottery – digitally.

It paid off in a huge way.

According to a Dec. 1 news release from the N.C. Education Lottery, Shepherd tried a $5 digital instant and won a $952,821 jackpot.

“I was just killing time out of boredom,” he said in the release. “When it stopped at the jackpot I was like, ‘There’s no way.’”

The odds of that win were 1 in 10 million, the release said. Shepherd, 35, won the top level “Grand Fortune” jackpot in the Monopoly game.

The digital instant game features a progressive jackpot that can be won at any time.

“I was ecstatic,” Shepherd said. “I would’ve been happy to just double my money.”

He claimed his prize on Dec. 1 at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $683,651.

Shepherd said he plans to use his winnings to invest and possibly buy a new truck.

The jackpot reset at $150,000 and has climbed to over $431,000 as of Monday afternoon. Monopoly is a multi-state digital instant game. That means the progressive jackpots will grow higher, faster and winners could come from other states as well, the release said.

Yancey County has received $30 million in state grants funded by the lottery to help with school construction needs. More details on other ways money raised by the lottery made a difference in Yancey County can be found at the N.C. Education Lottery website.
