Senior pastor finalist selected for Bellevue Baptist Church
Mandrell is currently the president and CEO of Lifeway Christian Resources, based in Brentwood, Tenn.
According to a video posted on Bellevue's YouTube channel, Mandrell will speak to the congregation during a special service on Sunday, July 13th at 10 a.m.
After the service, the entire congregation will vote on whether to accept the committee's recommendation of Mandrell as the new senior pastor at Bellevue.
If selected, Mandrell will replace Dr. Steve Gaines, who is retiring after serving 20 years as Bellevue's senior pastor.
Dr. Gaines announced his retirement back in September 2024, several months after being diagnosed with cancer. At the time, Gaines said his retirement was not connected to the diagnosis.

Legionnaires' disease cluster in New York City causes 2 deaths, sickens 58 people. What is it, and how do you get it?
The disease was initially detected on July 25. Two people have died and 58 people have been sickened in a Legionnaires' disease cluster in central Harlem in New York City, health officials said Monday. The disease was initially detected on July 25. Since then, the New York City Department of Health has been investigating the cluster and has sampled all cooling towers within the affected area, which help regulate a building's temperature. Eleven cooling towers tested positive for the bacteria that cause Legionnaires' disease. The remediation required by the health department has been completed, according to a Monday update. The following ZIP codes and bordering communities have been affected in Harlem: 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037 and 10039. "Anyone in these ZIP codes with flu-like symptoms should contact a health care provider as soon as possible," said acting health commissioner Dr. Michelle Morse. "Legionnaires' disease can be effectively treated if diagnosed early, but New Yorkers at higher risk, like adults aged 50 and older and those who smoke or have chronic lung conditions, should be especially mindful of their symptoms and seek care as soon as symptoms begin." What is Legionnaires' disease? It's a serious type of pneumonia, a lung infection, that is caused by Legionella bacteria. People can become sick from inhaling water vapor that's contaminated with Legionella bacteria. Less commonly, a person can get sick when water contaminated with the bacteria accidentally enters the lungs by aspiration. How does it spread? In general, Legionnaires' is not transmitted from person to person. Legionella can grow and spread in human-made water systems like showerheads and sink faucets, hot tubs, decorative fountains, complex and large plumbing systems and cooling towers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are also factors that make it easier for Legionella to grow and survive in water, including: Biofilm, which is slime that enables germs to grow Temperatures from 77 degrees to 113 degrees Fahrenheit Not having enough disinfectant Slow or no water movement (Read more from the CDC about how to prevent waterborne germs while away from your home.) What are the symptoms of Legionnaires' disease? Symptoms usually appear in a person within two to 14 days after they've been exposed to the bacteria, the CDC says. Symptoms can be similar to other types of pneumonia, such as: Headache Muscle aches Shortness of breath Cough Fever Other symptoms can include confusion, diarrhea or nausea. Who is at risk of getting sick? Most healthy people exposed to Legionella don't become ill, according to the CDC's website. However, the following people are at increased risk of getting sick from the bacteria: People 50 years and older Current or former smokers People with specific health issues or conditions, like cancer, chronic lung disease, diabetes, kidney failure, liver failure and a weak immune system Diagnosis and treatment A chest x-ray can confirm if a person has pneumonia. But additional tests are needed to confirm if Legionella bacteria is the cause behind it, such as a urine test, or a lab test involving a sample from phlegm (sputum) or lung lavage (lung washing), according to the CDC. The disease is treatable with antibiotics, but hospital care is often needed.

A rabid bat was found at Beavertail State Park. Here's what to know to stay safe.
An injured bat found at Beavertail State Park in Jamestown on July 30 tested positive for rabies. The Rhode Island Department of Health is alerting the public that the rabid bat was found near the hose spigot on the Lighthouse building by a worker, according to a news release. The bat was taken to a wildlife rehabilitation facility and later euthanized when staff noticed that the bat was displaying symptoms of rabies. It was submitted for testing to RIDOH's State Health Laboratories on Aug. 1. What to know about rabies Rabies is a fatal disease if it is not treated before the onset of symptoms, according to the release. Anyone who may have had direct contact with the bat should immediately call RIDOH's Center for Acute Infectious Disease Epidemiology at 401-222-2577 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or 401-276-8046 after hours. RIDOH should also be contacted if a pet may have come into contact with this bat. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system. If a person does not receive the appropriate medical care after a rabies exposure, the virus can cause disease in the brain, ultimately resulting in death. Rabies treatment must be started as soon as possible after exposure. All dogs, cats, and ferrets are required by state law to have current vaccination against rabies. Vaccination of pets prevents them from contracting rabies and prevents people from becoming exposed to rabies through their pets. How to prevent rabies To prevent rabies, people should: Make sure all dogs, cats, and ferrets are up to date on rabies vaccination. Avoid all contact with and do not feed stray or free-roaming domestic animals. Avoid all contact with and do not feed wild animals. Do not feed your animals outdoors, as this will attract other animals. This is especially dangerous when feeding large numbers of free-roaming cats. Protect your pets by always maintaining control; walk dogs on a leash or let them play in a fenced yard, and do not let pets wander unsupervised. Report all animal bites to your city/town's animal control officer. - Securely cover all garbage cans so wild animals cannot scavenge for food.
