Two men wearing a ski mask entered the store last night at 8:30 p.m. One held a gun on the owner of the store Barney Joseph, while the other took $382.85 from the cash register. Joesph told the police “The robbery was over in less than a minute.” Joesph kept a pistol under the counter but decided not to use it because he felt it was unwise.

said.

Jessica Lumsden is the Administrative Coordinator here at Morningside. She had free breath mints in front of her desk at the Lincoln Center. My task in this scavenger hunt was to get a mint so once I saw those sitting at her desk I made my way to her. Jessica asked me “Do you need anything?” I proceeded to tell her that for my journalism class, I was told to find someone with a piece of gum or a breath mint. She gladly let me take a breathe mint from her desk without asking any further questions besides “Is that all I can do for you?” Once I mentioned that was all I needed from her she went to say “Okay, have a nice day.”

The breathe mint Jessica gave me

Coco Gauff won her first major title at the US Open on Saturday. She defeated Aryna Sabalenka in front of thousands at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The 19-year-old American claimed her first Grand Slam title. With the help from the home crowd, she came back to win after losing the first set.

Oh my goodness, it means so much to me,” Gauff told ESPN’s Mary Joe Fernandez. “I feel like I’m a little bit in shock in this moment. That [2022] French Open loss was a heartbreak for me. But I realized God put you through tribulations and trials and that makes this moment even sweeter than I could have imagined.”

Gauff has had high expectations from as early as the age of 15. She became the youngest ever to qualify for the Wimbledon main draw. U.S. News reported that Gauff said this about the high expectations, “People were putting a lot of pressure on me to win. I felt that at 15 I had to win a slam at 15.”

Eyes are going to be on Gauff considering she is the youngest American to win the Open since Serena Williams in 1999. Not only was she the youngest American to win the U.S. Open, but she also became the first American player since Sofia Kenin in 2020 to win a major title at the Australian Open.

After winning, Coco got on her knees to pray for victory. The New York Times described Gauff’s reaction “I was just saying thank you and I understood like all the tough times were just to make that moment even sweeter. I think if it came easy, I wouldn’t feel as appreciative as I did in that moment.”

She was told a month ago that she would stop after she won her 500th title She was also told that after her 1000th title that was the biggest title she would achieve. This did not stop Gauff from making history. Three weeks later she won the U.S. Open.

Cathy the daughter of the local attorney Jim Wensen was arrested for her third DUI charge in the last six months, last night.

Cathy seemed to be a well-rounded girl winning this year’s homecoming queen, participating in cheer, and maintaining straight A’s throughout college.

Her plan is to attend Vanderbilt University for graduate school to study biology.

The university president announces changes in the graduation requirements. A recent study showed that only 15 percent of students took a foreign language course and only 20 percent took a math course while attending Blackwater State University.

The new curriculum is set that students entering next fall (2023) must take one math, computer science, and foreign language course.

President David French exclaimed, “We feel that these new course requirements will allow us to turn our students into better-educated persons.”

Five people died unexpectedly in a plane crash this past Thursday. On takeoff, the crash took place on a TWA jet at the Kennedy International Airport.

Forty-five passengers and crew members were aboard. Two Blackwater State University professors John Dumont and George Johnson were also on board and on their way to separate conferences in New York City. They managed to escape with no injury.

No further information has been given regarding any further details about the incident.

In Sioux City, East Dakota Highway Patrol put a ban into place yesterday with concerns regarding radar guns. The concern came about two months after three women filed for workman’s compensation claims, saying they developed cancer from using the hand-held units.

This ban is set to take away 70 radar guns that will be withdrawn from service. State troopers will continue to use radar units with transmitters mounted on the outside of their cruisers.

Adam Smith a spokesperson spoke on this topic “The feeling here is to err on the side of caution until more is known about the issue. The whole situation is under review.”

Studies have shown that increased screen time can lead to developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills. Screen time usage for children at the age of 1 is not advised. Research showed that 61 percent of 1-year-olds who spent up to two hours a day on a screen lacked communication skills. All of this research makes sense considering if a child is not putting their words they are learning into practice, they will fall behind. If a 1-year-old is not receiving the face-to-face attention they need they are going to lack in a lot of the educational aspects. Considering technology is so assessable nowadays, it is important for parents to take initiative by limiting their infants screen time.

This news article was recently published. It is impacting anyone that cares about the overall well-being of their children. In order to prevent developmental delays like this, one must be educated on the topic first. Overall, this article is considered news. This article is relevant today and sends an important message to caregivers who want to look out for what’s best for their infants.
