National EMS memorial procession to stop in Somerset
A traveling memorial honoring EMS professionals who died in the line of duty is set to appear in Somerset on Tuesday, June 24. The National EMS Memorial Service's annual procession began June 1 in Riverside, Calif., and will culminate in Arlington on July 19. The procession will make 29 stops in 19 states, including Somerset, to remember 29 EMS professionals who died in the line of duty. On June 24, Somerset-Pulaski County EMS will host the Moving Honors procession. It will take place at 11 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Park in downtown Somerset, at the corner of W. Oak and N. Main streets. Parking is available in the First Baptist Church rear parking lot on N. Vine Street. The event will feature local speakers as well as a remembrance of Somerset-Pulaski County EMS EMT Chastian McWhorter, who died in the line of duty on April 1, 2024 as a result of a vehicular accident. He was 26 years old. The event marks one of the many stops along the 6,500-mile journey to Arlington where fallen EMS providers will be honored as part of the National EMS Memorial Service and Weekend of Honor. At the heart of the journey is a specially wrapped ambulance carrying the Tree of Life — this year's installment of the memorial bearing the names of those lost. Built by EMS volunteers, the Tree is transported with reverence and remains sealed until its unveiling at the national service. A replica Tree of Life will be on display at each stop, offering communities a space to pause, reflect, and honor lives of service. One of the Moving Honors representatives supporting this year's procession is American Medical Response (AMR) paramedic Megan Haverkamp, now in her fifth year with the crew. What began as a one-time request to drive an ambulance from Texas to Virginia has become a deeply personal tradition. Haverkamp now helps escort the Tree of Life alongside 'Chief Ted E Bear,' a comfort companion who helps children of fallen EMS providers cope with loss. 'Each stop is a moment to remember, to honor and to let families and fellow providers know that their loved ones are not forgotten,' Haverkamp said. 'What continues to move me is how everyone comes together, whether they knew the honorees personally or not, to show their love and support.' 'This moving tribute is only possible because of the shared commitment from agencies across the country and the generous support of organizations like Global Medical Response,' said Jana Williams, National EMS Memorial Service immediate past president. 'It is extraordinary witnessing so many who join alongside us to honor our fallen and to support their loved ones in such an impactful way.' The National EMS Memorial Service, founded in 1991, is a volunteer-driven organization funded solely by donors to honor fallen EMS providers and support their families and colleagues. It is the congressionally sanctioned entity that bestows the highest honor in EMS to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. While a permanent national memorial is still in development, a new panel is constructed each year and added to the Tree of Life, a temporary memorial, which continues to grow and honor those lost in the line of duty. The Moving Honors procession not only brings awareness and additional homage to the honorees but also provides a space for the public to pay respect and send messages of hope to families and EMS professionals. The REMEMBERship program is a unique way to sustain the mission of the NEMSMS, offering a simple way to donate and keep the legacy of fallen heroes alive.

Pittsburgh Job Corps location to cease operations
After decades of operation, the Pittsburgh Job Corps center in Highland Park is set to close, a decision made by the Department of Labor. The Department of Labor has cited inefficiency in several areas. Students KDKA-TV spoke to say this place is still doing a lot of good and should remain open. The clock is ticking for 450 students, including 350 residential participants. Come June 30, the Pittsburgh center, along with nearly 100 others nationwide, will suspend operation. "My dream. I don't know where I'm going to be from now, and I'm hurting," said student Destiny Goines. "Major betrayal. So many of us are going to leave with nothing," fellow student JJuan Shabazz said. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer announced the closures late last week, saying in part, "A startling number of serious incident reports and our in-depth fiscal analysis revealed the program is no longer achieving the intended outcomes that students deserve." Chaves-DeRemer also stated the department's decisions align with the president's fiscal year 2026 budget proposal and reflect the administration's commitment to ensure federal workforce investments deliver meaningful results for both students and taxpayers. "You might think you're doing the right thing, you might think this is the best thing to do, but think about the future," Shabazz said. Both Shabazz and Goines say they were on a good life track until last week. But both pointed out that they at least have somewhere to live as they deal with the closure; others don't. "I've grown so close to so many friends here, and have nowhere to go; they're going to be out in the streets," Goines added. The future of the 180 staff remains up in the air, but students say, despite that, the staff is doing what they can to help. "I had a shot, it made me feel like I had a chance, and I was doing so good," Goines said. "Since coming here, I've made such a better impact on my life. It's unfortunate (that) I've got to back into the cycle that pretty much brought me here in the first place," Shabazz said.
