Approved in 2023, the updated standards require third graders to read and write cursive phrases, progressing to full texts by fifth grade. Advocates, including State Superintendent Richard Woods, highlight cursive's benefits for fine motor skills, literacy, and connecting students to historical documents. To promote excellence, the state will award the "John Hancock Award" to schools excelling in cursive instruction. The move has been widely celebrated, especially among supporters of traditional education values. STORY 2: Cherokee County voters invited to meet candidates July 30 Cherokee County voters can attend a public forum for Senate District 21 and Board of Commissioner District 1 special election candidates on July 30 at the historic courthouse in Canton. Hosted by the Cherokee County Farm Bureau and Chamber of Commerce, the event begins with a 5:30 p.m. meet-and-greet, followed by the forum at 6:30 p.m. Candidates will speak and answer audience-submitted questions.

STORY 3: Holloway removed from ballot in Cherokee commissioner race Cameron Holloway has been disqualified from the Cherokee County Commission District 1 special election due to residency issues. The Cherokee County Board of Elections determined Holloway did not meet the one-year residency requirement, as he only updated his voter registration to Cherokee in April 2025, despite moving there in July 2024. Holloway admitted to delays in updating documents but denied any intent to deceive. The board cited evidence like his prior voting in Forsyth County and business registrations tied to a Forsyth address. Holloway accepted the decision but expressed disagreement, emphasizing his commitment to the community and future eligibility to run.

Jake is also the creator and host of "lovelustfear" which is another podcast which delves into the complexities of relationships, human behavior, and the darker things of life that intersect with true crime. His contributions to the true crime space go beyond storytelling, though. He's working to educate, support, and advocate for those whose voices often go unheard.

    In this special Pregnantish Pride episode, we're honored to welcome Trystan Reese — speaker, educator, and trailblazing trans dad — for a candid conversation about parenthood, advocacy, and what it means to build a family in a non-linear way. Trystan made headlines as a transgender man to publicly share his journey of carrying a biological child. But behind the media frenzy was a deeply personal decision — rooted in love and the desire to expand his family with his partner, Biff. While his story was often sensationalized, Trystan has remained committed to educating others and speaking out, not just for himself, but for the broader trans community — especially trans women, who he says too often bear the brunt of bias and misinformation.In this episode, Trystan reflects on how his family — which includes three beautiful children, two through adoption — is both ordinary and extraordinary. He opens up about the need for fertility clinics to better understand trans patients, the harmful assumptions people make, and why it's so important to amplify positive stories about trans families, especially in a time of rising negativity and erasure.As Trystan puts it, his family — like so many others — took the broken shards of glass life gave them and turned them into a beautiful mosaic.

    It's Thursday, and The Times Picayune/the Advocate's editorial director and columnist Stephanie Grace is here to talk politics. Today she discusses why some Republican lawmakers are walking back their initial support for Medicaid cuts, and tells us about a rising democratic star in Louisiana politics.Most Louisianans are familiar with the term “Cancer Alley,” referring to the stretch of land between Baton Rouge and New Orleans where petrochemical facilities have allegedly contributed to high rates of cancer. Now state residents are learning of a new term, “Detention Alley", as rural parts of the state are turning into hubs for immigration enforcement, with skyrocketing numbers of people in custody. Molly Hennessy-Fiske, a reporter for the Washington Post, has spent time in “Detention Alley,” specifically, the town of Winnfield. She joins us to discuss the emotional impacts and economic boosts the rural community is experiencing. CLECO, the utility company that provides electricity to nearly 300,000 customers in 24 Louisiana parishes, is searching for a buyer.

That's according to a recent story by Sahan Journal. Unaccompanied minors are children and teens who moved to the United States without guardians or legal status. Many are staying with sponsors, who are usually family members, while their cases go through court. The Trump Administration has told national news organizations that agencies are making “wellness checks” to look for signs of exploitation and human trafficking. But immigrant advocates are raising concerns. Joining Minnesota Now to explain is Sahan Journal's immigration reporter Katelyn Vue.

Wisconsin Hall of Fame coach Jeff Ryan pulls back the curtain on his old-school approach that's produced 438 wins and a state championship at small-school Prescott High.Ryan's journey from milking cows on a hobby farm to becoming one of Wisconsin's most respected baseball minds reveals how traditional values translate to modern success. "Consistency, fairness, discipline, and professionalism," he shares, form the bedrock of his coaching philosophy. His 2012 state championship team epitomized these principles, displaying what he calls "quiet intensity"—a focused, unflappable demeanor that carried them to a 26-2 record despite not having a single pitcher who threw harder than 78 mph.What truly sets Ryan's program apart is his meticulous attention to fundamentals. His teams spend 30 minutes every practice on scripted situations, mastering pickoff plays, controlling the running game, and executing defensive fundamentals that "steal outs" in crucial moments. Ryan's approach to middle infield defense—eschewing the common "alligator funnel" technique for a more precise method—exemplifies his willingness to embrace proven techniques over trendy methods.Perhaps most remarkable is Ryan's candor about coaching's challenges. He considers making out the lineup card his most difficult task, understanding that his decisions affect not just players but entire families. His solution for surviving 27 years as a head coach? Setting clear boundaries with parents while maintaining unwavering consistency in how he treats every player, from stars to bench players.Ready to transform your coaching approach? Discover why Jeff Ryan believes "baseball doesn't teach us how to win; it teaches us how to lose," and how this philosophy creates not just better players, but better people.

    Bubble trouble: Do protest bylaws silence dissent?

    The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has just launched a constitutional challenge against legislation in the city of Vaughan known as a “bubble zone” bylaw. It restricts protest within 100 metres of a place of worship, school, daycare, hospital or care facility. Advocates say that in a time of rising extremism and hate crimes, the bylaws are necessary to protect vulnerable groups' access to these spaces.Toronto and the nearby town of Oakville also passed bubble zone bylaws last month, and several other Ontario municipalities, including Ottawa, are considering similar legislation of their own.But the CCLA argues the bylaws are unnecessary and infringe on free expression rights, while other critics have argued they're being used to silence dissent — in particular pro-Palestinian protest. Today, producer Allie Jaynes looks at the surprising history of bubble zones, the cases for and against them, and whether they're being used to chill peaceful protest.This episode references another Front Burner episode, from May 2024, on protests outside a synagogue in Vaughan, Ontario.

    I feel so fortunate to have met Jeffery Tobias Halter, Founder of YWomen, a decade ago. Like many of us, it was a story told to him by a Black friend of being stopped weekly in his Jaguar, in his neighborhood, because he was a Black, that caused Jeffery to realize that not everyone is experiencing life in the same way. What differentiates Jeffery is that he had the courage to step up in a big way and start YWomen, and much of his work over the last 25 years has focused upon engaging men in women's leadership advancement. Jeffery and I share a passion for allyship and for understanding that building inclusive organizations and industries is about the business case for attracting the best talent.

    In this episode of the Great Trials Podcast, Steve Lowry converses with Brian McKeen from McKeen and Associates about a significant medical malpractice case, Drake versus Henry Ford Health System. Remember to rate and review GTP on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favorite platform. --- Case Details: "DETROIT – March 29, 2024– McKeen & Associates attorneys Brian McKeen and John LaParl, along with a Michigan Health and Human Service attorney, won a jury verdict in Wayne County Circuit Court yesterday for $120 million on behalf of a boy who suffered a birth injury at Henry Ford Health System. The jury found Henry Ford Health System and the attending obstetrician and nurses were negligent in failing to perform a timely Caesarian section resulting in severe birth injuries. The baby's mother arrived at Henry Ford Hospital in June 2010. She was at term, but not near delivery. Sometime after admission, the fetal monitor indicated “non-reassuring fetal heart tones” and a Caesarean section was called for. Because the procedure was delayed more than two hours, the infant suffered from severe asphyxiation resulting in cerebral palsy and permanent brain damage. The boy will require lifelong care. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services joined the case against the defendants due to the exorbitant cost they have incurred for the medical care for the child, who is now 13 years old." (SOURCE) --- Guest Bio: Brian McKeen Brian McKeen began practicing law in 1982. During his career, he has become a powerful advocate for his clients and one of the foremost medical malpractice attorneys in Michigan. He has tried cases throughout the United States. He currently sits on the executive boards of the Michigan Association for Justice (MAJ) and the American Association for Justice (AAJ). Mr. McKeen formerly served as chair of the AAJ Professional Negligence Section, Medical Negligence Exchange Group and Birth Trauma Litigation Group (BTLG). Since 2001, McKeen & Associates has generated the year's top verdict in Michigan four times, including securing the state's largest medical malpractice verdict on record in 2001, when a jury rendered a verdict award of $55 million in the case of Hall v Henry Ford Health System. McKeen & Associates also topped all Michigan verdict awards in 2002, with an award of $22.5 million in the case of Blazo v McLaren Regional Medical Center, et al; in 2006 with an award of $16 million in the case of Lowe v Henry Ford Health System; and in 2007, with an award of $35 million in the case of Oppenheim v Aeneas C.

    It’s being called a literacy epidemic. Only about one third of 4th graders in Pennsylvania are proficient in reading. That’s according to the latest federal numbers. Advocates are calling on state lawmakers to improve training for teachers and to support early literacy screening and intervention. Community college students can have a difficult time transferring to a 4-year school. But state-owned and related universities in Pennsylvania are adopting practices to help those students enroll and graduate. Pennsylvania Congressman Chris Deluzio is proposing legislation that would prohibit anyone convicted of corruption or financial crimes from working in the White House or a federal agency. It's part of a broader anti-corruption package Deluzio has been pursuing in recent months. It’s being called the "No Corporate Crooks" bill. Central PA is in the grips of a heat wave. The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat warning for the entire Central Pennsylvania region, through Wednesday night. For the first time this year, Pennsylvania's drought conditions appear to be reversed. Drought warnings have been removed from the entire state except for a very small portion of southern York and Lancaster Counties. Both U.S. senators from Pennsylvania are praising President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend. While many Democrats were stunned by the reported attack, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman was among the first to applaud Trump for the attack on the three Iranian facilities. The state's top fiscal watchdog - Pennsylvania Auditor General Tim DeFoor - is investigating Pennsylvania's Department of Aging.

    Sleep is essential for us all and a cornerstone of childhood development. But what happens when your child isn't sleeping as soundly as they should? And I'm not talking about nightmares or wetting the bed. I'm talking about snoring, mouth breathing, or restless nights. You might just think these are just quirks of growing up, but they could actually be signs of a bigger issue: sleep-disordered breathing. And it's something way more common than you would think. Today on Chick Chat, I'm joined by a true expert in pediatric airway health, Dr. Kalli Hale, to uncover what parents need to know about this often-overlooked condition and why early intervention is so critical. Who is Dr. Kalli Hale? Dr. Kalli Hale is on a mission to change how we think about sleep and oral health. With specialized training in obstructive sleep apnea, she now serves as the Chief Clinical Officer for The Airway Dentists and a Clinical Advocate for VIVOS Therapeutics, where she helps develop innovative clinical protocols for treating sleep-disordered breathing in both children and adults. Dr. Kalli is also a faculty member of the Dental Success Network and a national speaker on pediatric airway health. She emphasizes the importance of early orthodontic intervention, airway assessments, and lip and tongue tie screenings. You can feel her passion in this episode, and she's here to help parents take proactive steps to support their child's lifelong wellness. What Did We Discuss? In this episode, Dr. Kalli and I cover: What sleep-disordered breathing is and why it's a growing concern Common but misunderstood symptoms: snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep How poor sleep affects energy, behavior, focus, and emotional regulation What “Phase 1” orthodontics is and how it differs from traditional braces Why mouth development, lip ties, and tongue ties matter (even from birth!) What questions parents should ask if they suspect an airway issue Simple at-home strategies to support healthy breathing Why kids don't just “grow out of it” and what to do instead The one thing she wants every parent to know about sleep and health Whether you're a parent of a toddler or school-aged child, this conversation will open your eyes to the invisible struggles some kids face. It explains how you can help your child thrive with the right information and support. Final Thoughts Sleep-disordered breathing is often hiding in plain sight. As Dr. Kalli so powerfully shared, a child who isn't sleeping well often isn't growing, learning, or feeling well either. The good news? There are tools, treatments, and screenings that can make a world of difference, especially when done early. If your child snores, tosses and turns, struggles with energy or attention, or has been labeled as having "behavioral issues," don't ignore your gut instinct. Advocate for a full evaluation of their airway and development. This episode reminds us that we don't just have to accept sleep challenges as “normal.” We can ask questions, get answers, and make empowered choices to support our children's health. Cheers to breathing easy!
