1 Dead, 5 Trapped After Copper Mine Collapses Following 4.2 Magnitude Earthquake
Nine people who were working at the El Teniente mine sustained non life-threatening injuriesNEED TO KNOW One person is dead and five people are trapped after a mine collapsed following an earthquake in Chile, according to the company operating the mine The mine, located in the Andes Mountains, collapsed after a 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck the region on Thursday, July 31 Among the miners on site were 33 people who were trapped for 69 days in a separate mine in the Atacama Desert that collapsed in 2010One person is dead and five people remain trapped after a mine collapsed in Chile. The mine collapsed after the U.S. Geological Survey recorded an earthquake near where the El Teniente mine is located, just after 5:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, July 31, according to The New York Times and The Associated Press. The National Copper Corporation of Chile, also known as Codelco, said in a series of Spanish-language statements that one person, Paulo Marín Tapia, died after a 4.2 magnitude earthquake impacted the work site. Nine people who were working on the Andesita project at the El Teniente mine sustained non-life-threatening injuries, while five more workers were trapped inside the mine, Codelco stated. The five miners are still trapped as of Friday, Aug. 1, according to the latest release shared by Codelco. At a press conference, El Teniente's General Manager Andres Music said, the tunnels inside the mine 'are closed' after they 'collapsed' following the earthquake, according to Reuters. 'There's no possibility of even radio communication," he added. Additionally, Music said, aftershocks from the earthquake have made it impossible for rescuers to reach the trapped workers. He added the quake was 'one of the largest events — if not the largest — that the El Teniente mine has experienced in decades.' 'We are making every effort to try to rescue these five miners,' said Music, per the AP. 'The next 48 hours are crucial.' Music said around 100 rescue workers were at El Teniente when the earthquake struck, according to the Times. Among them were 33 miners who were trapped for 69 days in a mine located in the Atacama Desert in 2010. Union leader Amador Pantoja said copper extraction operations have stopped at El Teniente in the wake of the collapse, but noted that Codelco is still operating its concentrator and smelter, according to Reuters.

Brady named interim superintendent at Colton-Pierrepont Central School
Jul. 31—COLTON — A retired school superintendent is back in the superintendent's chair again. The St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services announced Thursday that Patrick H. Brady, who retired as the Massena Central School District's superintendent in 2023, would be serving as interim superintendent at Colton-Pierrepont Central School. The appointment was effective last Monday. Brady brings more than 35 years of experience in education and leadership to his new role. He steps into the position following the departure of James Nee, who has served as superintendent at Colton-Pierrepont since 2018. Nee will begin his new role as deputy superintendent at St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES on Monday. "I'm honored to join the Colton-Pierrepont community and support the district during this transition," Brady said in a press release. "I look forward to working closely with the Board of Education, staff, students, and families to continue the district's tradition of excellence and ensure a smooth start to the school year." Brady has served in a variety of leadership and instructional roles throughout his career, including superintendent positions at both Massena and Potsdam school districts. He also held roles as a junior high principal, assistant high school principal, and summer school teacher in Massena. Earlier in his career, he taught high school social studies at Potsdam for 12 years. The Colton-Pierrepont Board of Education has also announced that it is actively seeking a permanent superintendent and will keep the community informed as the search process moves forward.

Pre-Incan tomb with 1,000-year-old remains unearthed in Peru
Utility workers excavating trenches to expand an underground gas network in the capital of Peru unearthed two pre-Incan tombs on Thursday that are more than 1,000 years old. One of the tombs was empty while the other held the 1,000-year-old remains of an individual alongside four clay vessels and three pumpkin shell artifacts. According to archaeologist José Aliaga, the vessels' iconography and their black, white, and red colors "allow us to establish a connection with the pre-Incan Chancay culture,' which is approximately 1,000 to 1,470 years old." Aliaga told The Associated Press that the individual was found wrapped in a torn bundle, in a sitting position with his legs against his chest, and his team will continue cleaning the remains. "Lima is unique among Latin American capitals," Aliaga said, "in that various archaeological finds are unearthed during nearly every civil project." The Peruvian capital of Lima, a city of more than 10 million people, has more than 400 archeological sites from the Inca era, the 15th century, or earlier, from the pre-Inca period, according to the Ministry of Culture. Astonishingly, Thursday's discovery was not the first time Cálidda, the company that distributes natural gas in Lima, has found archeological remains. Over more than two decades of excavation work to expand the underground network, the company says it has made more than 2,200 discoveries. Last month, utility workers found a 1,000-year-old mummy of a child aged between 10 and 15 while installing pipes. Archeologist Jesus Bahamonde told reporters at the time that the workers found the trunk of a huarango tree, "which served as a tomb marker in the past." In April, archaeologists in Peru announced they found the 5,000-year-old remains of a noblewoman at the sacred city of Caral, in an area that for decades was used as a garbage dump. Just days before that, researchers carrying out excavation work in southern Peru found an ancient tomb filled with the remains of two dozen people believed to be battle victims. "It is very common to find archaeological remains on the Peruvian coast, including Lima, mainly funerary elements: tombs, burials, and, among these, mummified individuals," said Pieter Van Dalen, dean of the College of Archaeologists of Peru. Van Dalen was not involved in Thursday's discovery. On Thursday, passersby stopped in their tracks to observe the burial site, even taking out their cellphones to take a picture. "I always thought they were paths where no one had lived," said Flor Prieto, who was walking with her 7-year-old daughter. "But now I know that people older than the Incas have lived there…it feels so exciting."
