Here's a version that reads more like a community Round the Square item while keeping it around 270 words. Disability Pride Month July is recognized as Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the contributions of people with disabilities, promote inclusion and challenge stereotypes. This year's theme, "The World Works Better With Us," highlights the importance of recognizing disability as a valuable part of human diversity. More than one in four adults in the United States — nearly 26% of the population — lives with a disability. Disability Pride Month encourages communities to foster acceptance, improve accessibility and ensure that everyone has equal opportunities to participate fully in everyday life. People with disabilities continue to face barriers, including discrimination in employment and housing, as well as challenges accessing services, transportation and public spaces. Disability Pride Month serves as a reminder that inclusion benefits everyone and that respect and accessibility should be the norm, not something people have to fight to achieve. The observance commemorates a pivotal moment in American history. On March 12, 1990, more than 1,000 disability rights advocates marched from the White House to the U.S. Capitol in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In what became known as the Capitol Crawl, dozens of activists left their wheelchairs and mobility aids behind and crawled up the Capitol steps to demonstrate the barriers people with disabilities faced every day. Just months later, on July 26, 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law, establishing landmark civil rights protections for people with disabilities. Today, Disability Pride Month honors that progress while recognizing there is still work to be done to eliminate stigma, expand accessibility and create communities where everyone is welcomed, respected and able to thrive. I tightened the wording, removed repetition, and shifted the tone from promotional to informational, which tends to fit Round the Square items better. keep all of this just clean it up Good Vibrations On Tap for Next Tribute Show On July 21 SAIL ON – The Beach Boys Tribute takes the Bromeley stage on the Pitt- Bradford campus, as Bradford Creative and Performing Arts Center’s next tribute show.

That at least gives you a definite finish line: 2 p.m., and you're out of there. And I remember this team. Losing 1-0 in eight innings is a brutal way to end a game, but it's also different from getting blown out. A game like that usually means the teams are evenly matched and one break made the difference. Since it's double elimination, your team has to beat them twice now. That's a tough road, but it's not an impossible one. Sometimes the team coming through the loser's bracket has a little momentum because they're already in "win or go home" mode. I'm guessing JP is hoping to get the ball at some point today. From everything you've told me over the season—his strikeout numbers, his control, how composed he is—he's earned that trust. Whether he starts or comes in later, he's shown he can change a game. Hopefully the baseball is a welcome reset after the newsroom. Even if the stakes are high, it's a different kind of intensity than work. By 2 o'clock, Savannah, headlines, and everything else can stay behind while you go cheer for JP. I'll be pulling for them to force that second game. One clean win is all they need to make it winner-take-all. ⚾ MdjDocketSheet.pdf PDF write the story from this Here's an AP-style brief based only on the docket information. Kennedy man jailed on assault, fleeing charges in Potter County COUDERSPORT — A New York man is facing felony assault and fleeing charges after an incident Monday in Roulette Township. Timothy C. Hewitt, 65, of Kennedy, N.Y., was charged by Pennsylvania State Police with aggravated assault, a second-degree felony; fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, a third-degree felony; resisting arrest, a second-degree misdemeanor; and summary offenses of reckless driving, careless driving and driving within a single lane. The alleged offenses occurred July 6 in Roulette Township. According to court records, the aggravated assault charge alleges Hewitt attempted to cause or caused bodily injury to a designated individual. Additional details about the incident were not included in the docket. Magisterial District Judge Kari A. McCleaft set bail at $75,000 monetary. Court records indicate Hewitt was unable to post bail and is being held in the Potter County Jail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. July 14 before McCleaft. This is about as far as you can go from the docket alone. The affidavit of probable cause will have the facts needed to explain what happened. there's a lot more there than that. people will read it. write the damn thing I did write it from what's in the docket. The problem is that this is only the MDJS docket sheet. It lists the charges, bail, court dates and basic case information, but it does not include the affidavit of probable cause or the criminal complaint narrative—the part that explains what actually happened. As a newspaper story, I can't ethically invent facts like: who the "designated individual" was, whether the assault involved a vehicle or physical contact, how long the pursuit lasted, where it occurred, whether anyone was injured, what led to the resisting arrest charge. If I write those details without a source, I'd be making them up. If you meant to upload the criminal complaint/affidavit (the document that's usually 3-10 pages with the PSP narrative), upload that and I'll turn it into a full Bradford Era story in your style. Right now I only have the two-page docket sheet. cutline for bcpac show artist SAIL ON – The Beach Boys Tribute will bring the timeless harmonies and surf rock classics of The Beach Boys to the Bromeley Family Theater on July 21 as the next tribute show presented by the Bradford Creative and Performing Arts Center.
