Abilene community starts memorial at Premier Martial Arts to honor Grand Master James Cox
ABILENE, Texas () – The Abilene community has started a memorial outside Premier Martial Arts to honor the life to Grand Master James Cox.
Grand Master Cox died unexpectedly last week, leaving behind not only friends and family, but also students, peers, and mentees who he encountered and made a huge impact on in the Martial Arts world.
Flowers, photos, candles, and other mementos are now starting to decorate Premier Partial Arts locations on S 14th Street and Buffalo Gap Road, where he owned the business and taught many his deep knowledge of the craft.
Anyone who wants to help Grand Master Cox's family can also attend the Abilene Livestock Auction Tuesday, May 13, where a donated calf will be auctioned off at 11:00 a.m.
All proceeds will go to his family to help with funeral expenses.

Pregnant moose struck and killed on Summit County highway, nonprofit says
PARK CITY, Utah () — A pregnant moose has reportedly been struck and killed on SR-224, according to a local nonprofit. According to (SPSW), a Utah-based nonprofit, the cow (female) moose was found on the side of SR-224 — the highway that runs from I-80 at Kimball Junction to Park City, all the way down to the Summit County border near Midway. 'She was dragged out of sight of the road and discarded like trash,' . 'Let's work together to change our optics and improve safety for all road users by implementing evidence-based solutions to the wildlife vehicle collision problem on this roadway.' Bear sighting in Stansbury Park sparks humor and discussion on social media Save People Save Wildlife was started by residents who were 'alarmed by the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions taking place along the gateway to Park City,' their website says. Volunteers work to track how many animals are killed and push for a wildlife crossing over the roadway. According to numbers compiled by SPSW volunteers, 48 large wildlife were struck and killed on SR-224 in 2024. One coyote, three moose, four elk and 40 deer were counted. SPSW says that this estimate should be multiplied by eight, as experts say 'not all animals die in the location they are struck.' So far, in 2025, seven large wildlife have been killed by vehicles on the road: five deer and two moose. done for the Utah Department of Transportation and Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) identified the road as the fifth-worst hotspot for animal-vehicle crashes in the state.

New fully accessible playground opens in Scranton
SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A new place to play is now in Scranton. The city celebrated the grand opening of the Butterfly Playground, a fully accessible space inside Nay Aug Park designed for children and adults of all abilities. What used to be a parking lot is now a place where everyone can play. 'Oh, I've already seen the kids in here playing, and it makes you really happy. You put a smile on your face to see them enjoying it,' said volunteer Doris Koloski. The Butterfly Playground in Nay Aug Park is Scranton's newest inclusive play space, featuring accessible ramps and a merry-go-round built into the surface, so kids of all abilities can ride. 'This project has equipment that's totally handicap accessible, which we don't see enough of in our region,' said Thom Welby, vice chair of the Scranton Municipal Recreation Authority. 'I think the idea was that they could all intermingle and I'll enjoy the stuff together and not have them separated out, and just so the kids could socialize,' said Koloski. The nearly $400,000 project was funded through a state casino grant, administered by the city, with support from lawmakers and local volunteers. PHOTOS: Wilkes-Barre mural causes controversy 'The volunteers up here, they've been having donut sales, just basket raffles, bingos, anything to raise money,' explained Welby. That extra money added activity panels throughout the playground. This is just phase one. City leaders say future phases will include additional age-specific areas, all part of an all-inclusive discovery corridor. 'We added paved ADA parking spaces to the adjacent parking lot here and then added an ADA accessible route to the playground, and the pour and play system is actually a granular rubber that's bound,' said Mike Lachman, landscape architect at Barry Issett & Associates. Making it wheelchair accessible and cleaner. 'Playground projects are always the fun ones because you get to see the kids enjoy it after the fact, it's not so much the ribbon-cutting after all that's done. It's coming back out and seeing the kids run around and play on the playground,' explained Lachman. The Butterfly Playground is now open to the public at Nay Aug Park. With this ribbon cutting, Scranton sends a clear message: Play is for everyone. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
