New York State police confirmed on Monday that five members from the same metro-Atlanta family died in a plane crash on their way home from a baseball tournament in upstate New York. The family members were returning from a baseball tournament in Cooperstown, N.Y., home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
New York State Police responded to a plane crash in Masonville, New York (90 miles south of Syracuse, N.Y.) on Sunday afternoon at approximately 2 p.m., and found the bodies of five occupants in the wreckage of a Piper Malibu Mirage. The plane had departed from Albert S. Nader Regional Airport in Oneonta and was headed to Charleston, W.Va., for refueling and was schedule to continue from there to Cobb County International Airport in Georgia.
New York State police said in a statement: “A multi-agency effort search of the area, with the utilization of drones, ATVs and helicopters, led to the discovery of debris and ultimately to the downed aircraft.” Search teams found the bodies of five passengers in the wreckage.
Police later identified the victims as family members who hailed from Georgia: 76-year-old Roger Beggs (assumed to be the pilot), 43-year-old Laura Van Epps, 42-year-old Ryan Van Epps, 12-year-old James R. Van Epps and 10-year-old Harrison Van Epps. According to records obtained by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the family lived in Alpharetta, GA.
NYSP has not said what caused the plane to crash; Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp wrote in a statement: “As we learn of this tragic news, please join Marty, the girls, and me in praying for the loved ones of the Beggs and VanEpps families. We offer our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved them,”
The New York State Police Bureau of Criminal of Investigation, Collision Reconstruction Unit, and Forensic Identification Unit are working with the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Board to determine the cause of the crash.

On Monday, July 1, the Supreme Court deemed that Donald Trump is partially immune from his 2020 election subversion charges. The Court said “official” acts taken by a president are protected, but not steps he took as a candidate.
In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the court ruled that Trump can be tried for any of his efforts to overturn his 2020 loss that were not taken in his official capacity. They ruled against Trump’s claim that he enjoys immunity from prosecution as a whole, but said that he is absolutely immune from being charged for “official” presidential acts.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the 6-3 majority: “The parties before us do not dispute that a former President can be subject to criminal prosecution for unofficial acts committed while in office. They also agree that some of the conduct described in the indictment includes actions taken by Trump in his unofficial capacity.”.
The majority asserted that there should be a clearer distinction between official presidential acts and private acts that happen to be done by a president, with the court’s syllabus reading: “The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law. But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.”. The decision brings the case back down to a lower court, which must now figure out whether any of the allegations in the Jan. 6 case fall under the category of “unofficial” acts, and whether a fair Jan. 6 trial could move forward with the Supreme Court’s ideology in mind.
On Truth Social, Trump called the decision a “BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY.”

Netflix released the trailer for “Simone Biles: Rising” and shared that the four-part docuseries will begin streaming July 17, nine days before the Opening Ceremony at the Paris Olympic Games. Biles posted the teaser trailer on X, along with the caption: “can’t wait for y’all to see 
”
‘Rising’ offers a look at Biles’ career after withdrawing from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after a case of “the twisties”(causing her to lose her sense of where she was in the air). Biles was expected to win multiple gold medals in Tokyo, including a second consecutive all-around title that would cement her GOAT status. But after mental health issues that worsened because of the isolating COVID restrictions, she withdrew from most of the competition.
The docuseries focuses on how she worked through her mental health struggles, and got back on track. As Biles says in the 2-minute trailer: “I get to write my own ending.” Rio teammate Aly Raisman, who remains close with Biles, is also featured in the docuseries, and shared: “I know that she’s expected to win all the gold medals, but even the fact she’s trying to come back is really amazing.”
Biles, 27, just qualified for her spot on the U.S. Women’s Olympic gymnastics team after the final night of the Olympic trials on Sunday in Minneapolis, and told reporters at a press conference: “I think everybody probably looks at the team as, ‘OK, they went to Tokyo and this, this and this happened, and what are they going to do here in Paris?’ But for us, I know we’re stronger than what we showed in Tokyo. So, I think it has to be for us because it can’t be for anybody else, because that’s not why we do it. We do it for ourselves and the love for the sport and the love for representing the U.S. So, we’re gonna go out there and we’re gonna do our best … This is definitely our redemption tour. I feel like we all have more to give.” Biles will be joined by Olympic teammates Suni Lee, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles (with whom she was part of the 2020 team) as well as newcomer Hezly Rivera.
All four episodes will stream on Netflix on the same day, July 17. Take a look at the trailer for ‘Simone Biles: Rising’ – here.

Together, they set out on a thrilling quest to save the boy’s parents — and the world.” An official synopsis reads: “The Time Bandits witness the creation of Stonehenge, see the Trojan Horse in action, escape dinosaurs in the prehistoric ages, wreak havoc during medieval times, experience the ice age, ancient civilizations, the Harlem Renaissance, and much more along the way.”
The TV adaptation is created by Jermaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords), Iain Morris (The Inbetweeners) and Taika Waititi (Our Flag Means Death), and produced for Apple TV+ by Paramount Television Studios, Anonymous Content’s AC Studios and MRC.

The City of Crookston has released an email and text messaging notification service for all important City updates. Residents can go to the City of Crookston website to sign up.
“When you go to the City of Crookston website, which again is www.crookston.mn.us, the first thing you’ll see is a pop-up encouraging you to subscribe to the City of Crookston. It’ll be a pop-up saying sign up to receive notifications for the latest community news and updates from the City of Crookston.” Says Marketing Coordinator Keenan Devier, “If you click on there, it will redirect you to the Notify Me page on the City of Crookston website, where you can create an account and subscribe to different categories to receive emails or text messages on different topics you are interested in staying up to date on.”
Residents can get updates on many things, such as
Residents may customize the messages they receive by individually selecting which areas they want to be notified of when signing up on the City’s website.
Devier mentions how important it is to market things through many different avenues. “You’re not going to reach everybody on one platform. You’re not going to reach everybody on Facebook. You’re not going to reach everybody on the radio. You won’t reach everybody in any one particular category. So when I found out we had this service available to us through our website, it was a no-brainer to get it all set up for us to send out direct communication with our residents. I thought it would be a fantastic way for residents to stay up to date on what’s going on and hear directly from us.”
