'It has to check the boxes with the state so what it means and what i think everyone heard is, everyone is welcome to talk to the criz about getting a project funded however they need to understand the rules and regs and they probably need to get after it right now,' said Jake Rouch, vice president of economic development for the Erie Regional Chamber.

New coffee shop already looking to the future
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – VooDoo Coffee opened in the Hillcrest Plaza on North Minnesota Avenue three months ago. It's a location owner Shah Afrouzi is familiar with as he also owns the Shop N Cart and Neon Casino. South Dakota lost one of its legendary football players this week 'I wanted to just be part of the culture of coffee. I love what I've done so far with the VooDoo brand,' Afrouzi said. 'You know, I have a diverse background — my mom's Italian, my dad is Turkish — and I've seen different cultures, I've seen different coffee shops around the world and I just got inspired. I wanted to create a space where people come together.' You can find diversity in the VooDoo products as well, from Cuban coffee to Persian tea. 'Persian tea is a chai, it's very traditional, very traditional. It's different than anything you're used to,' Afrouzi said. Along with the drinks, there's also a lounge area and the VooDoo Kitchen. 'Every morning around 8 am to 10 am, we do breakfast. I like to make my favorite breakfast of the kitchen, it's called this loaded breakfast homestyle sandwich,' assistant manager Kristina Stands aid. 'It has bacon, sausage, egg, hashbrown and just wheat bread or white bread on top of it.' Even though VooDoo Coffee is still new to Sioux Falls, Afrouzi already has his eyes on what comes next. 'I want VooDoo to be a cornerstone in Sioux Falls, we are looking at expanding, you know, we are looking at other locations,' Afrouzi said. 'VooDoo is a brand that I'm creating right now, I just want to be part of the culture in Sioux Falls because I'm going to Texas, I'm going to open a branch there. We are going to Canada, I have family all over the world. So, we're making this grow slowly so I just want people to give us a try.' Afrouzi also sells supplies for hookahs at VooDoo Coffee, and though you cannot smoke in this location, he hopes to have a patio at his next one that would allow for that. He has also created an app for VooDoo Coffee that people can use to place orders. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

New community leaders – Erie residents graduate from ERCGP ambassador program
The Erie ambassador program seeks to teach Erie residents how to be civic leaders in our community. On Wednesday, the next group of leaders were celebrated at the Erie Club on Peach Street, after finishing up a ten-week course with the Erie Regional Chamber & Growth Partnership. 'The goal of the program is really to not only grow civic leaders but inform them and give them direction so that they can be catalysts in our region for growth, for philanthropy and for civic leadership in general,' said Brandon Mendoza, Erie Regional Chamber & Growth Partnership President. Erie leaders discuss CRIZ at annual Knowledge Breakfast The 10-week course gives the ambassadors a behind-the-scenes look at some of Erie's assets, such as the Warner Theatre, Erie Land Lighthouse and other businesses around the area. After the course, graduates are expected to embody their ambassador title and become diplomats for the work taking place to make Erie a thriving community. Twenty-five new ambassadors graduated at the Erie Club, and although they all took the same course, everyone got something different out of the program. Annual 'Erie Ambassadors' program sheds light on local projects 'We got to see all the behind-the-scenes, a little bit more than maybe what the average person gets to see, so we can now go to our communities and talk about what's great about Erie,' said Grant Filbeck, ambassador program graduate.'We all have become very good friends that have gone through this program, and I think that's important to be able to network with other businesses and each other,' said Debbie Swift, another ambassador program graduate. As some people find it tough to live in Erie sometimes, Filbeck and Swift say there's more to the area that some may not see. 'People always go, 'Oh, dreary Erie.' We have this little cliche, but it's not dreary, it's far from dreary,' said Swift. EDP, Flagship City District announce downtown summer events 'There's so many opportunities. You're never going to get a place with a beautiful lake, a beautiful downtown, and so many amenities, different parks, forests, things to do,' said Filbeck. After the ceremony, graduates were invited to put their ambassador skills to the test at a reception with some regional chamber board members.

Kids' breakfast cereal has gotten unhealthier, a new study finds
Sign up for CNN's Eat, But Better: Mediterranean Style. Our eight-part guide shows you a delicious expert-backed eating lifestyle that will boost your health for life. We all know that breakfast is an important meal, and even more so for children. Abundant research has demonstrated the benefit of nutritious breakfasts on children's health, well-being and academic performance. Ready-to-eat cereals are the predominant breakfast choice among American children, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But that may not be the best option for growing children and adolescents. In newly launched cereals between 2010 and 2023, there were significant increases in fat, sodium and sugar and decreases in protein and fiber content, according to a new research study in JAMA Network Open. I wanted to better understand the implications for parents who want to learn about healthier options for their children. To help guide us, I spoke with CNN wellness expert Dr. Leana Wen. Wen is an emergency physician and adjunct associate professor at George Washington University. She previously served as Baltimore's health commissioner and is the mother of two school-aged kids. CNN: How did these researchers study ready-to-eat cereals? Dr. Leana Wen: This study utilized a comprehensive database that tracks new product launches for food and beverages. Researchers examined cereal products that launched in the US market between 2010 and 2023 that were explicitly marketed to children ages 5 to 12 years old. During this period, about 1,200 children's ready-to-eat cereals were launched. Compared to 2010, total fat per serving increased 33.6%; sodium content increased by 32.1%; and sugar by 10.9%. On the other hand, both protein content and dietary fiber content decreased when comparing 2010 to 2023. Notably, the average amount of added sugar is so high that a single serving of children's cereal is more than 45% of the American Heart Association's total daily recommended limit for children, according to the authors. CNN: Were you surprised by these findings? Wen: Frankly, yes. In recent years, many studies have shown the importance of a healthy breakfast to children's well-being. Moreover, studies have demonstrated the problems associated with high levels of added sugar, sodium and fat content in food. Ultraprocessed foods laden with these additives have been associated with a myriad of negative health consequences, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease and premature death. What's upsetting to me is that many products that are ultraprocessed and contain high levels of unhealthy ingredients are being marketed as being 'healthy.' A 2024 study published in the journal Nutrients found that 60% of foods marketed to children ages 6 months to 36 months on 10 supermarkets' shelves failed to meet recommended nutritional guidelines from the World Health Organization for infant and toddler foods. Virtually none of these meet WHO's standards for advertising— instead they contained inaccurate health claims or failed to have clear labeling. All of this makes it hard for parents and families who want to choose healthier options for their children. CNN: What advice do you have for parents who want to feed their children healthier breakfasts? Wen: Parents should consider options outside of ready-made cereal. Some options for healthy breakfasts include steel-cut oats with honey and fresh fruit and whole-grain bread with peanut butter. Kids may also like eggs; no-sugar-added yogurt, which still has sugar in it; smoothies made with milk and fresh fruit; and homemade muffins. For parents looking for grab-and-go breakfasts, consider fresh fruit, nuts, hard-boiled eggs, muffins, smoothies and whole-grain bagels with low-fat cream cheese. CNN: What if parents want to serve cereal? What should they look for on the label? Wen: As a parent who has tried to find healthy cereals for my kids, I know myself that it is very hard to go through the cereal aisle and make sense of the packaging that claim the cereal is healthy. The best thing to do is to look at the label for each cereal you are considering. First, look for whole grains. Ideally, the label says that the cereal has 100% whole grain. Then, look at the sugar content. It's best to have added sugar of less than 9 grams per serving . According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 10 grams per serving would already be 20% of the entire amount of added sugar someone is recommended to consume a day, if they have a 2,000 calorie diet. Try to find cereals with no food dyes or low-calorie sweeteners. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has a list of relatively healthier cereals. From a policy perspective, last year, the US Food and Drug Administration proposed a front-of-package label that would make it easier for consumers to know how products compare with regard to their added sugar, salt and saturated fat content. I think these improved labels can help if they are implemented. US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made reducing ultraprocessed food a centerpiece of his 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda. Perhaps there will be policy solutions Kennedy will announce that can make it easier for families to opt for healthier choices. CNN: In the meantime, should parents avoid cereals and switch to other breakfast products? What do you do with your kids? Wen: I think the takeaway should be simply knowing that many cereals marketed to children are not the most nutritious choices. This doesn't mean children should never be served these cereals but try to serve them in moderation or as a treat. Since I became aware of just how laden with additives our favorite cereals were, I began to serve my kids these cereals only as a treat, opting usually for milk served with steel-cut oats or whole-grain toast and peanut butter. On days when they have cereal, I make sure to tell them it's a treat — just as I tell them it's a treat when they have cookies and cupcakes. And then I try to make sure that their other meals are healthy. CNN: Do you have other advice for families trying to make more nutritional choices? Wen: It's best to aim for meals with whole foods that are minimally processed, such as whole grains, fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables, legumes, fish and lean meat. Also keep in mind that what kids drink is just as important as what they eat. Stay away from sodas, juice drinks, energy drinks and other drinks with caffeine and high amounts of added sugar.
