At least 16 people have been hospitalized after eating cucumbers produced by Florida-based Bedner Growers and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. The cucumbers were sold from April 29 through May 19.

Former rehab exec charged in alleged harassment of N.H. journalists
May 31 (UPI) -- The former leader of two rehab centers faces federal charges in the alleged harassment of New Hampshire Public Radio journalists in retaliation for an unfavorable news story about alleged sexual misconduct. Eric Spofford, 40, was arrested Friday after being indicted by a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts on one count of conspiracy to commit stalking through interstate travel and using a facility of interstate commerce; one count of stalking using a facility of interstate commerce; and two counts of stalking through interstate travel, the Departmentof Justice announced. Each count is punishable by up to five years imprisonment, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Spofford is the founder and former chief executive officer of the for-profit Granite Recovery Centers in Salem, N.H., and Miami. He has an arraignment hearing scheduled at 3:30 p.m. EDT Monday at the federal courthouse in Boston. GRC is one of the largest drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in New England, and Spofford sold it in 2021 for $115 million, The New York Times reported. Many abuses detailed NHPR on March 22, 2022, published an online article that discussed allegations of sexual misconduct, abusive leadership and retaliation by Spofford. He allegedly harassed former patients and staff, and was accused of sexually assaulting at least two staff members. One former patient said he sent her unwanted text messages and at least one photo of an obscene nature, which she said caused her to suffer a relapse. Several staffers and a former chief operating officer left GRC due to the alleged behavior by Spofford, according to the article. He denied the allegations, but the article gained a lot of attention locally and nationally, according to the DOJ. He sued the public radio station for defamation, but a judge dismissed the case in 2023. A scheme to 'harass and terrorize' From March 2022 through at least May 2022, Spofford allegedly "devised a scheme to harass and terrorize the journalist who authored the article, the journalist's immediate family members [and] a senior editor at NHPR," the DOJ said. Federal prosecutors say he paid a close friend, Eric Labarge, $20,000 to undertake the scheme and provided him with names, addresses and instructions on how to stalk and harass the intended victims. Labarge enlisted the help of three others to stalk and harass the victims, all of whom were charged and convicted of crimes related to the scheme, DOJ said. Labarge, Tucker Cockerline, Keenan Saniatan and Michael Waselchuk last year were sentenced to between 21 months and 46 months in prison.

McKees Rocks man pleads guilty to setting up meeting with FBI agent posing as minor
A McKees Rocks man accused of trying to coerce a minor into sexual activity pleaded guilty in federal court. The United States Attorney's Office said police first encountered Ryan Peters, 35, after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about his online activity. Investigators said they found a cell phone in a cat litter box in the hallway and a laptop. Child pornography was found on those devices. Police said Peters tried to set up a meeting to engage in sexual activity with what he believed was a 12-year-old girl from Pittsburgh but was actually an undercover FBI agent.

CCM Health breaks ground for $2.4M child care center in Montevideo, Minnesota
May 31---- As groundbreaking ceremonies go, this one was complicated. Twenty-nine children had first digs at tossing the dirt as hosted a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for a $2.4 million child care center on its Montevideo campus. "This is what it's really about, all these kids," said Brian Lovdahl, CEO of CCM Health, as the 29 children — most of them preschool age — were led by staff from the existing child care center to the site of the groundbreaking. As a point of fact, the rules and regulations involved with child care are complicated too, but worth the navigating, according to Lovdahl. Having child care available is a definite help for the health system's staff. The nearly 350 employees skew younger than is the average for health care facilities in the country, meaning there are many with young children, he explained. The availability of on-campus child care benefits both staff recruitment and retention, according to the CEO. A new provider had no more than inked his contract when the first thing he mentioned was the desire to enroll a child in the center, Lovdahl said. CCM Health became one of the first small health care systems in the country to offer child care services when it opened its existing center in January 2020. It continues to receive inquiries from other systems about how to make it happen, according to Lovdahl. The move into the new facility should happen in October, if not sooner. Groundwork is completed and the footprint for the new facility is readied, all ahead of schedule, according to the CEO. The new, 5,000-square-foot center will offer more than three times the space of the existing facility. The new facility will be licensed for 70 children. The current facility is licensed for 31 children but serves around 40 when counting drop-ins. It is located in a building housing the ambulance operations. The new facility will be located on the site where the original Montevideo Veterans Affairs Clinic stood. The location puts the young children no more than 60 feet away from the nearest doctor in CCM Health's Medical Clinic and Hospital if they should need medical help. It also means nursing mothers can drop over to the center during breaks. Staffing needs led to the decision more than six years ago to open an on-campus child center. Lovdahl said CCM Health was being served by traveling nurses in 2018-19 to meet staffing needs. Permanent staff members expressed an interest in working more hours, he said, but they cited the lack of child care as a major impediment to doing so. It took about eight months from the beginning of the discussions on child care needs to the opening of existing center. In about six months, it reached capacity, and has pretty much stayed at that level ever since, according to Lovdahl. Operating a child care center can be challenging, but Lovdahl pointed out that the value goes well beyond the health care center. The new spaces for the children of CCM Health's employees should free up spaces in other child care operations in Montevideo, he said. As in most communities, there is a gap between the number of available and needed child care spots. Montevideo had a shortage of 145 child care spaces according to a June 2024 analysis by the nonprofit and funded by the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families. The new facility will feature a prairie-style architecture with large windows in its corners. It will be divided inside according to ages. It will hold a commercial kitchen and feature a modern security system. An outdoor patio area will be available. CCM Health had studied the possibility of re-purposing the former Montevideo VA Clinic, which opened in 2002. It was found to be cost-prohibitive to renovate the three-section modular building that had served as the clinic, and it was razed. Lovdahl used the groundbreaking as an opportunity to thank the CCM Health board of directors, Montevideo City Council and the Chippewa County Board of Commissioners for their support of the child care project. The city of Montevideo and Chippewa County jointly own CCM Health. The existing child care area within the ambulance building will be returned to its former use as a training and conference center.
