Environmental journalist Alec Luhn missing following hike in Norway
Norwegian officials are searching for a Wisconsin-born environmental journalist who has been reported missing following a hike towards the country's Fogelfonna National Park. Alec Luhn, 38, was last seen the afternoon of July 31 on route to the park, according to a Facebook post from his wife Veronika Silchenko. Slichenko told the New York Times that Luhn was an experienced hiker and that it was not uncommon for him to go on solo hikes. 'He sent me the route, and I knew there wasn't good coverage in the area. I always track his location, and when it stopped moving, I wasn't immediately worried, because I am used to this,' she told Norwegian newspaper VG. Silchenko told The New York Times that she and Luhn had visited family in Bergen before the hike, before she returned to England on July 31. He did not fly back to England as scheduled on Aug. 4. 'I just really want him back,' Silchenko said to the Times. 'I can't sleep or eat properly. It's very hard not to know anything.' USA TODAY has reached out to Silchenko for further comment. On Aug. 5, the Norwegian Red Cross posted on X that it had concluded the day's search without finding Luhn. Norwegian public broadcaster NRK reported that the search was halted due to heavy rainfall, rising water levels in the rivers and dangerous terrain. 'Tomorrow, a large team will continue the search in collaboration with the police and several climbing groups,' the Norwegian Red Cross' post reads. USA TODAY has reached out for further comment. Lost hiker award-winning environmental journalist Luhn is an award-winning journalist from Stoughton, Wisconsin, according to a release by the University of Wisconsin-Madison announcing his selection for the Sharon Dunwoody Science Journalist in Residence for Spring of 2025. He served as a foreign correspondent in Russia for the Guardian, Telegraph and VICE News for a decade before the invasion of Ukraine – according to a profile by the university. Following the invasion, he switched to environmental reporting, earning the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Award for Excellence in Science Communications from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the 2024 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Kavli Science Journalism Award – the oldest science journalism award in the U.S. His work on the environment has appeared in The Atlantic, The Guardian, National Geographic, New Scientist and Scientific American. Kathleen Culver, director of the UW School of Journalism and Mass Communication, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel – a part of the USA TODAY Network – that Luhn has plans to work on a project at the university in 2026 following the residency. Luhn, a graduate of the journalism school, was on campus for a week in April but mostly works remotely from the U.K., Culver said, adding she's known Luhn since he was a student on campus. 'I'm really worried,' Culver said. 'He was heading out back to the U.K. and he said, 'I knew I would love working with students, but I didn't know I would love it this much.'' Luhn wants to do more mentoring of students next year and Culver is working on him returning to a role at the school, she said. 'I am very much looking forward to this being a survival story,' Culver said. 'And him having lots of things to tell students as he mentors them.'

Annual Back to School Bash this weekend at Mylan Park
MORGANTOWN — Pantry Plus More's annual Back to School Bash takes a year's worth of work to pull together. Thousands of hours volunteered and tens of thousands of dollars raised for a return on investment that's way more about feeling than finance. That payoff arrives between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday when an anticipated 1,600 school-age kids fill the Mon County Center in Mylan Park. 'What I love about the Bash is that it gives volunteers like myself a real-life glimpse into the work that you're doing,' event chair Amanda Bolyard said. 'The kids are so excited. Watching a kid pick out a backpack with a character they like or a color they want is an amazing feeling. You watch them go through the supply lines and when they leave, they're so excited about what they have. It's really an indescribable experience.' The yearly event began in 2018 with the goal of giving every kid in Monongalia County the opportunity to show up on the first day of school with a brand new backpack and all new school supplies – the point being a child who isn't fixated on what they don't have can instead focus on learning. It's the same idea behind the pantries the nonprofit keeps stocked in a number of Monongalia County schools. 'The bash is important to our work as education is the pathway out of poverty,' Bolyard said. 'The mission of [Pantry Plus More] is to help eliminate hunger and other obstacles that inhibit students' ability to achieve their educational goals.' Items will be available for free on a first-come-first-served basis to all students Pre-K through 12th attending a Monongalia County school. Offerings will include backpacks, school supplies and hygiene products. There will also be vendor resource tables providing families information about various support services in the area. The Monongalia County Health Department will be on hand to offer physicals for $20 as well as information and registration for WIC. While organizers encourage pre-registering online through the PPM Facebook page ( students can register the day of the event. As of Tuesday morning, more than 1,400 kids had been registered. Volunteers can also sign up via a link available through Facebook or at Beyond volunteering, the community can support the Back to School Bash through monetary donations or in-kind donations of items like spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, loose leaf paper, markers, crayons, pens, pencils and other new school supplies. Bolyard said the Bash is the largest single-day event undertaken by PPM. It takes a year of preparation and the support from community partners like Northeast Natural Energy, which provided $10,000 to purchase hygiene products. Other supporters include Chestnut Ridge Church, Mon Health and the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust. 'Just seeing one kid come through and be excited to go to school instead of the alternative feeling of shame or embarrassment – seeing one child like that makes it all worth it,' Bolyard said. 'It's very special.'

Clay County sheriff: 14-year-old shoots and kills his parents and waits at a church
A 14-year-old Middleburg boy shot and killed his parents and walked to a church where he waited for deputies, Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook announced early Aug. 4. She said Trevor Lee called 911 shortly after midnight and advised what he had done and that he was waiting at a church about a mile away. The Sheriff's Office found him there and his parents, 44-year-old David K. Lee and 45-year-old Brandi L. Smith, dead at their home in the area of Silver Point and County Road 220 in Middleburg. Cook said it stemmed from a domestic argument the night before and the firearm was believed to be his parents'. The gun was recovered at the home, where no one else was present. She said they're looking into his mental health history and the family's background. Court records show the couple only had some traffic tickets and that they rented the home in the 1800 block of Silver Point. The Times-Union has requested the incident report, 911 call and number of calls for service to the home. Logan Mott: Logan Mott, Neptune Beach teen who killed his grandma, sentenced to 15 years in prison The mother of Trevor's best friend posted on her Facebook after the news. "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think the first interview my son does with the news would be one of heartbreak!" Nakimah Sheree posted. "'I don't want people to think my best friend is just a bad person,' he said when I asked if he was sure he wanted to do this! I applaud his bravery! Brandi Smith-Lee and David, he made sure the world knew the good in you all! My God, this is tough…… please continue to pray!" She was referring to Kyree Beamon's interview with News4Jax. 'They were probably the best, or one of the best families, I knew,' Kyree told News4Jax. 'They were funny, and they treated me very well. They told me all the time that they loved me like a son, and they treated me as such.' He said the had finished up at Lakeside Junior High and were about to start Fleming Island High. 'Trevor isn't a bad person; he made some bad decisions, and he will suffer the consequences, but that's not all he was,' he said. 'He was a great friend, great brother, great son. And I'm not going to say Trevor isn't my best friend anymore, because the Trevor that did this. I don't know that Trevor, and the Trevor that I knew, and all of our friends knew, I will continue to be friends with him, and I pray that the Trevor that did this died last night.' Kyree's mother said backed that up with another post along with several photos of the boys. "In the blink of an eye my baby lost his best friend and his second parents!" Sheree said. "The last thing she said to me was 'you know we love Kyree like he was our own!' And i knew it to be true! No matter how the news paint him or what the commentators say, HE WAS A GOOD KID, he IS a good kid! Praying for his mentality, praying for the family and praying for my son as he processes this! "Thank you Brandi Smith-Lee for loving my baby! Thank David for being his second dad!" she continued. "You will both be missed entirely!"
