SCDNR to conduct boat safety checks over the holiday weekend
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources will conduct courtesy boat inspections across the state over the holiday weekend.
If you have your boat inspected, you will not be ticketed if your boat is non-compliant with current regulations. Instead, you will have an opportunity to correct any issues.
This is part of an effort to keep people and waterways safe during the Memorial Day weekend, which SCDNR said is one of the busiest times of the year for state lakes and waterways.
'SCDNR boating safety and enforcement officers will perform quick but thorough inspections for required safety equipment and proper boat and motor registrations,' said SCDNR. 'Officers will also be available to answer questions and give boaters tips on how to stay safe on the water.'
Inspections will take place at the following locations in Charleston, Colleton, Georgetown, and Berkeley counties:
Saturday, May 24:
Charleston County: Wapoo Cut Landing, Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Colleton County: Bennett's Point, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Sunday, May 25:
Berkeley County: William Dennis Landing, Tail Race Canal, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Charleston County: Remley's Point, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Monday, May 26:
Charleston County: Limehouse Landing, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Georgetown County: Carroll Ashmore Campbell Marine Complex Landing, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
You can report boating violations, such as reckless operation or an intoxicated boat operator, by calling SCDNR's toll-free, 24-hour hotline at 1-800-922-5431 or dialing #DNR on your mobile phone.
The United States Coast Guard will also offer free vessel safety checks this weekend. Last year alone, officials said South Carolina reported 150 boating accidents, which resulted in 23 deaths.

2 Teens Shot Dead on National Park Camping Trip
Authorities in Arizona are in the middle of a mysterious case involving two teens who were found shot to death on a popular national park camping site. According to multiple reports, 18-year-old Pandora Kjolsrud and an unidentified 17-year-old male were found dead on May 27 off State Route 87 at Tonto National Forest. "At this time, the circumstances surrounding their deaths are being treated as suspicious," the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said Friday in a statement. As Fox 10 in Phoenix reported, the two teens left for a Memorial Day weekend camping trip, but they never returned. Friends and family have since set up a memorial overlooking a valley on the famed Camelback Mountain. It's reported that the two teens often visited the spot with friends to watch the this moment the MCSO is asking anyone with information to call them at 602-876-TIPS. At 2.9 million acres, Tonto National Forest is the largest of six national parks in Arizona. The park is famous for its hiking trails, Sonoran Desert Saguaro cacti, camp sites and expansive bike trails. These national parks are popular, especially this time a year. The teen's deaths come just days after authorities at another popular park, California's Sequoia National Park, continues searching for a woman who was swept away in a river following a trip with friends and family also on Memorial Day weekend. 2 Teens Shot Dead on National Park Camping Trip first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 3, 2025

When does the new live-action ‘Lilo and Stitch' stream on Disney+?
Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch" remake is continuing to dominate the global box office after its Memorial Day weekend release. According to ABC News, Disney's live-action has already passed the horror movie 'Sinners' to become the second-highest-grossing movie of the year with $280.1 million in domestic ticket sales and $610.8 million globally. Here's when to look around for it on Disney+, as well as how to celebrate the movie at Florida's Walt Disney World Resort. As of June 2025, the only way to watch "Lilo & Stitch" is in movie theaters. You can check Fandango, Showtimes or AMC's website to find showtimes nearest to you. According to Forbes, the live-action film is expected to arrive on Disney+ approximately three months after its theatrical release, which puts its arrival around late August or early September. In the meantime, fans can still stream the original "Lilo & Stitch" and its sequels on Disney+.

Similar to the 2002 animated film, "Lilo & Stitch" follows the adventures of a lonely Hawaiian orphan named Lilo as she meets and bonds with Stitch, a dog-like alien who's best known for wreaking havoc on the tropical paradise. See review: New 'Lilo & Stitch' falls short of first film's unhinged brilliance However, there are some major differences from the original, according to USA TODAY. For starters, Nani's character is expanded: Once a star student and athlete, she has now shelved her college dreams of studying marine biology so that she can work and raise Lilo. In the original movie, Jumba (Zach Galifianakis) and Pleakley (Billy Magnussen) don a variety of disguises – glasses, sunhats, dresses ‒ as they covertly track down Stitch, but now the characters assume human form when they arrive on Earth. Some characters have been removed, such as the alien antagonist Gantu. Cobra Bubbles is also only a federal agent in this version and the social worker named Mrs. Kekoa is added. Lastly, the ending is mostly different with a chaotic spacecraft crash and Nani ultimately giving up custody of Lilo to their neighbor, Tūtū, to attend college in California. Oh, and Pudge (the fish that controls the weather, according to Lilo) doesn't eat peanut butter sandwiches. Instead, it's lettuce and tomato sandwiches. The movie is directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and stars: Maia Kealoha as Lilo Chris Sanders as Stitch (who also voiced the original Stitch) Sydney Elizebeth Agudong as Nani Tia Carrere as Mrs. Kekoa Zach Galifianakis as Jumba Billy Magnussen as Pleakley Courtney B. Vance as Cobra Bubbles Hannah Waddingham as Grand Councilwoman Yes! Walt Disney World guests can meet their favorite alien at Magic Kingdom during the nightly DJ dance party at Rocket Tower Plaza Stage. USA TODAY contributed to this report.
