Wisconsin Boy’s Lemonade Stand Robbed
Austin Cundy, an 11-year-old boy in Oshkosh, WI, had a plastic container with $20 in it taken by two teenagers when they rode by his lemonade stand on their bicycles, punched him and shoved him off his chair Tuesday. He was earning the money to go camping with his grandparents and to buy his mother a birthday present. People in the community have given the boy cards, money, and offers to have him sell cool drinks at their businesses while a 17-year-old has been taken into custody for suspicion of robbery and physical abuse to a child.
Two News Helicopters Collide While Covering Police Chase
Earlier today, the choppers of both Phoenix stations KNXV and KTVK crashed into each other while following a police chase of a man who had fled a traffic stop in his construction truck. The accident occurred after police blew out the truck’s tires and the man eventually had parked it to steal another nearby car. A pilot and photopgrapher aboard each aircraft were killed, making four dead in a rare news-covering tragedy.
Aquafina Label Will Clarify That It Is Tap Water
Pepsi-Cola, the maker of Aquafina bottled water, announced that the product’s new labels will say the water contained within them “is purified water that originates from a public water source”, a striking clarification of the current “Bottled at the source P.W.S.” Coke say it doesn’t plan to alter the label of its Dasani brand even though that also comes from public water sources. I personally don’t drink that much bottled water but what of it I do, usually Crystal Geyser and Arrowhead, are spring water.
A-Rod’s 500th Could Have “Happened” Before His 499th?
Before the Yankees started their regular-scheduled weekend series against the Orioles, the two teams had to resume a game that was suspended on June 28th in the 8th due to rain. Before today, Alex Rodriguez had hit 499 home runs but if he hit one during his final at-bat of the continued game, that would be credited as occurring back in June under Rule 10.23 and make for a confusing story as to when his 500th homer happened. Number 499, hit on Wednesday night against the Royals, would have been promoted to #500 while the 500th chronologically would become his 493th all-time. Thankfully, A-Rod didn’t hit one (grounded to short instead) and the above became simply a what-if.
