20-year-old Brady Larson had to miss his college graduation while he's being treated at the Mayo Clinic That same day, hospital staffers decided to throw him an impromptu graduation celebration in a hospital hallway Larson earned a degree in agricultural business from South Dakota's Mitchell Institute of TechnologyMedical staff rallied to surprise a college senior after he was forced to miss his graduation from South Dakota's Mitchell Institute of Technology. At the time of his graduation last month, Brady Larson, a 20-year-old patient at the Mayo Clinic, was preparing to undergo a stem cell transplant from his 15-year-old sister, Brooklyn, to treat his severe aplastic anemia. Since he had to miss the actual ceremony, hospital staffers in Minnesota decided to organize an impromptu graduation ceremony for the same day, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a hallway and cheering for Larson. The graduate wore a white lab coat over his grey college sweatshirt and carried a sparkly decorative 2025 graduation cap complete with a gold streamer for a tassel as 'Pomp and Circumstance' played. Afterward, everyone enjoyed cupcakes with green frosting in a nod to Larson's school color.

Emmy-nominated film about sugarcane burning to be shown May 31 at West Palm library
A special screening of an Emmy-nominated film, "Bittersweet Muck," about sugarcane burning in the Glades will be shown May 31 at the Mandel Library in West Palm Beach. NBC 6 consumer investigative reporter Sasha Jones produced the film, seeking to continue the conversation around cane burning, according to her Facebook page. The documentary paints a portrait of impoverished small towns around Lake Okeechobee whose residents of color endure as many as eight months of burning every year. The Palm Beach Post in 2022 was a Pulitzer finalist along with its partner ProPublica for their investigative series, Black Snow, on the harmful health effects of the burning on residents of Belle Glade, Pahokee and other small cities in the Glades. They call the ash that rains down on their families and their property each year "black snow." In a practice banned by other countries that grow sugarcane, powerful companies burn the stalks of the leafy plants before harvest. Mothers and schools keep children indoors. Nebulizers, machines that ease breathing, are often in use. Inhalers are so intertwined with childhood that they come in toy-like cartoon-character dispensers. The big sugar companies, headquartered in one of the largest sugarcane growing areas of the country, say the air quality in the Glades has some of the cleanest air in Florida. The screening begins at 2 p.m. with a Q&A afterward including panelists Jones, Colin Walkes, former mayor of Pahokee; Dr. Ankush K. Bansal, president, Physicians for Social Responsibility Florida; and attorney Patrick Ferguson, senior organizing representative of Sierra Club Florida.
