Leading Pest Control Company Urges Mosquito Prevention Amidst New EEE Case VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mosquito Joe® , a Neighborly® company, is encouraging homeowners to take immediate action against mosquitoes after The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported its first human case of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), a rare but potentially fatal disease. Health officials are raising concerns over the threat posed by this mosquito-borne disease as this latest case marks the third human instance of EEE in the U.S. this year, with New Jersey and Vermont reporting one case each earlier this month. Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is caused by a virus found in North America and the Caribbean. The virus circulates between mosquitoes and birds typically found in freshwater swamp environments, with humans and horses being the incidental hosts. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Humans and horses do not risk spreading the virus to others as they are both "dead-end" hosts. The disease is rare, with only a few human cases reported annually, but it is very serious. Symptoms range from fever, chills and body aches, to neurological diseases, such as meningitis and encephalitis. The CDC states about 30% of cases result in death. There are currently no vaccines or specific treatments available. "Although EEE is rare, even a few cases are alarming," said David Price, A.C.E., Urban Entomologist at Mosquito Joe, a Neighborly company. "It's essential that we all take preventive measures to protect ourselves and our families through proper mosquito control and other pest spreading diseases. Our focus at Mosquito Joe is on delivering effective solutions and raising awareness to help reduce any risk, especially as families continue to enjoy outdoor activities this summer." EEE is one of several dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses, with the West Nile Virus and Dengue Fever also posing significant concerns in the United States. Mosquito Joe strives to help homeowners mitigate the risk of these diseases, offering the following essential tips to minimize mosquito populations: Eliminate Standing Water: Regularly empty containers like flowerpots, watering cans, and buckets, which can become mosquito breeding grounds. Store outdoor items that collect rainwater in covered areas or position them upside-down. Wear Protective Clothing Outside: Wear long sleeves, pants, and socks during evening hours. Light-colored, loose-fitting clothing is advisable for comfort and visibility. Use Effective Repellents: Apply mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or other EPA-approved ingredients. Protect infants and young children with mosquito netting or screens. Use Outdoor Fans: Mosquitoes struggle to fly in windy conditions. Setting up outdoor fans can create a breeze that deters these pests from infesting your space. Maintain Your Yard and Pools: Keep your lawn mowed and debris-free, as tall grass and leaf piles can harbor mosquitos. Ensure swimming pools are clean, well-circulated, and covered when not in use.   Install Screens for Your Windows and Doors: Fit screens on all open windows and doors to prevent mosquitos and other pests from entering your home. Seek Professional Assistance:  If you're worried about a mosquito or other pest infestations, consider hiring a professional pest control company, like Mosquito Joe, to eliminate the bugs from the yard.

New Version of Iconic Sports Talk Show Hosted by Jeremy Schaap Debuts with Discussion Among Four NFL Voices For nearly three decades, The Sports Reporters was a staple of Sunday mornings on ESPN. Airing from 1988-2017, the program featured a panel of three accomplished and influential sports journalists and a host discussing notable sports news and issues. The final episode aired May 7, 2017. But now with a reimagining of the brand, including a new look and format, The Sports Reporters has returned to ESPN platforms just in time for the start of the NFL season. With Jeremy Schaap in the host role, the new The Sports Reporters debuted on the ESPN YouTube channel today with Schaap in conversation with a rare gathering of play-by-play announcers from networks that air live NFL games. Joe Buck (ESPN), Mike Tirico (NBC), Ian Eagle (CBS) and Kevin Harlan (CBS and Westwood One Sports) weigh in on the upcoming season, issues around the game, and their experiences as voices of pro football. “This is an opportunity for NFL fans to hear from four of the most experienced voices in the sport in the same discussion, and we thank CBS and NBC for the collaboration” said Andy Tennant, ESPN vice president, production, who is overseeing the revival of The Sports Reporters . “This is the rebirth of an iconic franchise and the possibilities for more collaborations involving other sports are endless.” In addition to appearing on YouTube, segments from the discussion will appear on SportsCenter, NFL Live and potentially other ESPN television programs. The new version of The Sports Reporters will appear regularly with different panelists and subjects. Future editions will feature a mix of new panelists and some from the show’s original run. Schaap, also host of ESPN’s E60 and Outside the Lines , was a frequent panelist and guest host on the original version. He was also the host of Classic Sports Reporters , which ran on ESPN Classic in the early 2000’s. Dick Schaap, Jeremy’s father, was the host of The Sports Reporters from 1988 until his death in 2001, at which time John Saunders took over and hosted until his death in 2016. The original The Sports Reporters was produced for more than two decades by Joe Valerio, who died in 2021. The ESPN production team behind the revived edition includes Tennant, coordinating producer Vin Cannamela and producer Robbin Dunn. “As a college kid, I’d spend Sunday mornings in the studio watching my father host The Sports Reporters , and then for many years I had the opportunity to work on the show with Joe Valerio and John Saunders, Mike Lupica, Mitch Albom, Bill Rhoden, Bob Ryan and many others,” said Jeremy Schaap. “So to say that becoming the host of The Sports Reporters is meaningful to me is simply a massive understatement.” -30- Press Release Sources: https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/09/the-sports-reporters-returns-to-espn-platforms-with-new-look-format/

Rankings Name Top 25 Colleges in 50 Categories Based on 168,000 Students' Ratings of Their Schools NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princeton Review ® —one of the nation's leading education services companies—has reported its 2025 Best Colleges  rankings. The rankings posted  today on PrincetonReview.com and appear in the just-published 2025 edition of the company's college guide, The Best 390 Colleges (Penguin Random House, $26.99, on sale August 27). Cover, The Princeton Review's Best 390 Colleges: 2025 Edition Based on college students' ratings of their schools, the company's unique rankings name the top 25 colleges in 50 categories. Among them are: Great Financial Aid, Profs Get High Marks, Best Campus Food, and Best Career Services. Of interest in this election year are four politics-related categories: Most Conservative Students, Most Liberal Students, Most Politically Active Students, and Least Politically Active Students. Check the summary below to see which colleges earned the #1 spot on these ranking lists and others in the book. Unlike rankings that focus on academics and that are based on institutional data and college administrators' opinions of peer schools, The Princeton Review's Best Colleges rankings are in multiple categories and based solely on the company's surveys of students attending the schools in its annual Best Colleges book. The survey  asks them to rate their colleges on dozens of topics and report on their experiences at them. "The colleges we profile in our book are truly a select group: they constitute about 15% of America's four-year institutions. We chose them primarily based on our high opinion of their academic offerings," said Rob Franek , Editor-in-Chief of The Princeton Review and author of The Best 390 Colleges. " The colleges that make our book's ranking lists do so entirely as a result of the opinions of their customers—students attending the colleges—who complete our 89-question survey about their school." For the 50 ranking lists in The Best 390 Colleges , The Princeton Review tallied surveys of 168,000 students—about 430 per school on average. The surveys were conducted in 2023–24 and/or the previous two academic years. Information on the survey, ranking methodology, and basis for each category list is at PrincetonReview.com here . Some of The Princeton Review's 50 categories of Best Colleges ranking lists and the #1 college on them for 2025 are: Professors Get High Marks — Sarah Lawrence College (NY) Best Classroom Experience — Wellesley College (MA) Best-Run Colleges — High Point University (NC) Great Financial Aid — Skidmore College (NY) Best Career Services — Bentley University (MA) Best Student Support and Counseling Services — University of Richmond (VA) Best Health Services — University of Virginia Best Campus Food — University of Massachusetts—Amherst Best College Dorms — Bowdoin College (ME) Most Beautiful Campus — University of San Diego (CA) College City Gets High Marks — American University (DC) Most Politically Active Students — Claremont McKenna College (CA) Least Politically Active Students — State University of New York at Geneseo Most Conservative Students — Thomas Aquinas College (CA) Most Liberal Students — Mount Holyoke College (MA) Most Religious Students — Hillsdale College (MI) LGBTQ-Friendly — Reed College (OR) Lots of Greek Life — Bucknell University (PA) Lots of Race/Class Interaction — Rice University (TX) Friendliest Students — Kansas State University "Since 1992, when we debuted this annual book, its ranking lists have been informed by the opinions of more than three million college students who have completed our surveys about their schools over the years. Our purpose in publishing our rankings remains singular: to help college applicants choose the school best for them ," Franek added. A new feature in The Best 390 Colleges is a list titled Eight Statistical Stand-Out Schools for 2025.  It highlights colleges with exceptional statistics related to cost, debt, and financial aid. (These were key concerns among 10,800 college applicants and parents The Princeton Review surveyed earlier this year for its College Hopes & Worries 2024 Survey .) Based on data from the company's 2024 institutional survey, the feature names the schools in the book that are stand-outs for: Lowest Annual Tuition & Fees          Public School: University of South Florida $6,410 (in-state)          Private School: William Jewell College (MO) $20,610 Lowest Average Undergraduate Debt          CUNY—Baruch College (NY) $5,012 Highest Average Need-Based Scholarships          Princeton University (NJ) $71,864 This feature also reveals the schools in the book with the Highest 4-year Graduation Rate; Most Diverse Student Body; and Most Countries Represented (among the student body). A pdf  of the feature is at PrincetonReview.com . Today, The Princeton Review also reported the findings of its College Administrator Summer 2024 Survey . Conducted from July 19 to August 6, the survey polled administrators at schools in The Best 390 Colleges and those in the company's Best Regional Colleges  website feature. The survey asked administrators about their fall enrollment forecasts and admission test requirements as well as their opinions on trending issues. Among them: DEI programs and policies, the use of AI in admissions, and this year's FAFSA® fiasco. A release  on the findings is posted in The Princeton Review Media Center . It has a link to an infographic depicting selected findings and a downloadable report on the survey. About The Best 390 Colleges The book includes narrative profiles with information on the colleges' enrollment, admission, and aid application requirements, acceptance rates, admitted students' test scores, and student body demographics as well as quotes from students attending the schools. The profiles also include The Princeton Review's Inside Word about the college and ratings (scores from 60 to 99) in eight categories including Financial Aid and Admissions Selectivity. A QR code on each profile connects the reader to the college profile on PrincetonReview.com . The book's chapter of 50 categories of ranking lists also includes college rankings the company reported earlier this academic year. Among them are its Best Value Colleges , Best Colleges for Game Design , and Best Colleges for Entrepreneurship Studies . The book's introduction includes a list of Great Schools for 21 of the Most Popular Undergraduate Majors. It is based on enrollment data from the company's institutional survey and opinions of the 26 members of The Princeton Review's 2024–25 National College Counselor Advisory Board.

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that RESHMA MASSARONE, a former New York bank manager, was sentenced yesterday to 114 months in prison for plotting to hire a hitman to murder her own brother-in-law.  MASSARONE previously pled guilty to murder-for-hire before U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel, who imposed the sentence. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “The defendant devised a chilling plan to have a member of her own family murdered for the low price of ten thousand dollars.  Her plan was unthinkably heartless.  For this depraved crime, Reshma Massarone will spend 114 months in federal prison.” According to the Complaint and the Indictment filed against the defendant, other documents filed in federal court, and statements made in public court proceedings: Between July 20, 2023, and August 16, 2023, the defendant plotted with an individual (“Individual-1”) to hire a hitman to murder her own brother-in-law (the “Victim”), in exchange for $10,000.  But Individual-1 was a member of a foreign police force, and he became an undercover law enforcement agent to develop evidence against MASSARONE that she was plotting to hire a hitman to have the Victim murdered.  MASSARONE exchanged with Individual-1 dozens of messages on social media and participated in numerous phone calls with Individual-1, imploring Individual-1 to murder the Victim or hire someone who would.  For example, in Facebook Messenger communications, when Individual-1 told MASSARONE that the plan to murder her brother-in-law was set for the next day, MASSARONE responded that if Individual-1 “take[s] care of business,” then Individual-1 would get paid.  MASSARONE also told Individual-1 that she had other “jobs” for him, and swore on her kids’ lives that Individual-1 would get paid if he “[got] rid” of the Victim for her.  After that, MASSARONE told the Individual-1, “No more text.” As part of MASSARONE’s plan, she wired $2,500 to Individual-1 to give to the hitman as a down payment for the Victim’s murder.  Video surveillance at a Western Union captured MASSARONE counting 25 $100 bills, for a total amount of $2,500. After MASSARONE wired the money to Individual-1, MASSARONE continued to plan the Victim’s murder.  When Individual-1 told MASSARONE that the hitman’s plan was to shoot the Victim and that there was “no turning back,” MASSARONE replied, “Right.  No turning back.” The Victim was never murdered.  As time passed and the Victim remained alive, MASSARONE grew impatient with Individual-1. MASSARONE urged Individual-1 to murder the Victim, suggesting that “rat poison can do a great job.”  MASSARONE told Individual-1, “You is all talk and no action,” and “Come on do the thing and I will take care of you.”  MASSARONE threatened to find someone else to murder the Victim, stating, “Either way, if I find somebody to do the job you’re going to get blame, so cut the bullshit and let’s get it done.”                                 * In addition to the prison sentence, MASSARONE, 40, of Pine Bush, New York, was sentenced to three years of supervised release. Mr. Williams praised the outstanding work of the Drug Enforcement Administration, New York City Police Department, New York State Police, Homeland Security Investigations, and Internal Revenue Service. The case is being handled by the Office’s White Plains Division.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Hoffman is in charge of the prosecution.

At 1:15 P.M. on the afternoon of August 28, 2024, Troopers from SP Lockport rushed to the scene of a serious two-vehicle collision at the junction of Beattie Avenue and Hamm Road in Lockport. Upon investigation, it was found that a 2024 Honda Civic failed to yield the right of way as it turned left onto Beattie Avenue from Hamm Road, resulting in a collision with a southbound 2016 Kenworth dump truck on Beattie Avenue. The impact caused the dump truck to strike the driver's side of the Honda. Tragically, the driver of the Honda, Laurie J.

The Yorkville Fire Department has experienced an immense loss. Nick Morosco, our Assistant Chief, mentor, teacher, and friend, meant so much to many people in the community. He was the pillar of strength in times of need and the one who held the team together during tough times. They had complete trust in his decisions and capabilities, and they followed his commands without hesitation. Nick was not only a Fire Investigator and Fire Instructor, but he also had a wealth of knowledge about firefighting and related subjects. His passing is a huge loss, not just for the fire service in general but also for the Morosco family. Nick held various roles, including as a Dispatcher in The New Hartford Central Dispatch - 911 Center, and as the Town Animal Control Officer for the Town of New Hartford. He was always willing to go above and beyond for the community and was an integral part of The New Hartford Police Department's daily operations for many years. His dedication to public service continued with The Village of Yorkville Department of Public Works, where he rose to the rank of Assistant Fire Chief with Yorkville Fire & Hose Co. Nick was a true public servant who formed strong bonds with others in the community. Many will miss his humor, commitment to the community, and his presence. Rest in peace, Chief.
