Greenfield planning 1 year commemoration of tornado
The day long event will have a gathering on the courthouse square. There will be people offering citizens help with finances, construction, and mental health services.
'We're calling it our commemoration, we don't want it to feel like a celebration as much as we have some great things that have happened,' Stacie Eschelman with Greenfield Chamber of Commerce, and Main Street said. 'Our community experienced loss, we lost peoples lives, but we, we've lost so much about our daily lives and recognize everything that we've been through and how far we have come.'

Many homes and some businesses have been rebuilt. One is Griff's Auto Repair Shop. Dave Griffith remembers the day the tornado hit. He closed his car shop early when word got out about the incoming storm.
'Got to my house and then when I got there, I got a phone call and then a young man used to work for me, he was looking for me, and when I answered the phone it kind of shocked him, and I said what's wrong, and he said 'your place is gone',' said Griffith. 'I just couldn't even wrap my head around that, you know, when I happen to look to the south, I stood on my patio and I looked to the south and I saw windmills broke off and smoke. I knew that it was you know it was real.'
Griffith was able, with insurance, to buy a new plot to rebuild a much larger repair shop. People have told Griffith what a blessing the storm was.
'No, it's not a blessing, a person has more debt, then you know insurance gets higher and you know where maybe you didn't have a mortgage payment before you have a mortgage payment now, so it's not true blessing,' said Griffith. 'I mean it's a blessing that we didn't lose more lives than we did.'

When Are September 2025 SNAP Payments Coming?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. SNAP beneficiaries benefits are paid monthly—but when exactly will you get yours in September 2025? What Are SNAP Benefits? The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest federal food assistance program in the United States, designed to help low-income individuals and families buy groceries. Administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, SNAP provides monthly benefits through an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card at authorized retailers and farmers' markets. Eligibility is based on income, household size, and certain expenses. SNAP Payment Dates for September 2025 SNAP is funded at the federal level, but states oversee administration and benefit distribution, which means payment schedules differ across the country. Some states tie issuance dates to case numbers: for example, California staggers payments so households with case numbers ending in 01 receive benefits sooner than those ending in 99. Others, like Connecticut and Delaware, schedule payments according to the first letter of a recipient's last name. In states with small populations, such as Alaska and South Dakota, all benefits are often released on a single day. Stock image/file photo: A woman grocery shopping.

SNAP benefits can be used to purchase a wide range of groceries, including fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, breads, cereals, snack foods, and non-alcoholic beverages. They also cover seeds and plants that can grow food for a household to eat. Benefits cannot be used for non-food items or prepared meals in most states. However, since the start of 2025, 12 states have barred unhealthy foods and/or drinks from being bought using SNAP benefits: Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia. However, these new rules will not be in place until 2026.

29 Random Things That Didn't Exist A Few Decades Ago
Recently, I wrote an article sharing people's examples of "something young people don't realize didn't exist when you were younger" — and it got such a great response, I felt like I had to share even more. So, here are some of the best: "Cigarette machines." —Anonymous, 62, New York "CDs/DVDs and players." "Plastic bottles. I remember going to the store and buying Gatorade for my football game in a glass." —Anonymous, 50, Lynnfield, Massachusetts School shootings. You used to be able to bring your guns to school, people had gun racks in their pick-ups." "Also, girls' sports. I remember when I moved to Arkansas, girls' basketball was half-court. That was it. Totally no Title IX happening there. I had volleyball, basketball, softball, and track in Minnesota when I was in school a hundred years ago. Now, look at where the ladies have taken soccer and added teams to the WNBA. Huge win for the ladies to get sports scholarships."—casualking314 "I remember when the gas station cleaned your windshield." —Anonymous, 80, Illinois"A service attendant filled your car with gas at a service station, checked your tires and oil, and washed your windows. Service stations had gas and auto mechanics to fix tires and cars. There were no gas stations with convenience stores."—Anonymous, 75, Minneapolis "I remember when most stores were closed on Sunday. In my state, it wasn't until the '80s that many stores were open on Sunday. I miss that." —Anonymous "Microwave ovens and timers for lights." "Yogurt." —Anonymous "I remember when there weren't any area codes. Phone numbers had names like Hudson 2468." —Anonymous "There were no buses where I lived. Along with all those books we carried home on foot, I lugged a tenor saxophone home to practice every night." —Anonymous "Leaf blowers." —Anonymous, 62, New York "Microwaves, CDs, digital downloads, the iPhone." —Anonymous, 66, Charlotte, North Carolina "Fast food of any kind. We always ate Mom's (sometimes Dad's) home cooking. I still make the majority of our meals. It's healthier and tastes better." —Anonymous, Washington State "Liquid soap or detergent." —Anonymous, 62, New York "Of course, we did not have cellphones, but we didn't have push-button phones either. They were rotary dial. No one liked numbers with nine in them because you had to turn the rotor so far over." "TV shows after midnight." —Anonymous "Photocopiers. The first commercial ones came out in the '60s. Goodbye, carbon paper!" "Fully automatic washing machines. Before that, we had an 'automatic' washer that had to be drained after the wash cycle, then refilled with fresh water to rinse. It also had a roller that you fed the clothes through to squeeze the water out. Sometimes your hand got rolled and squeezed as well. Painful experience." —Anonymous, 64, Baltimore, Maryland "Birth control pills." —Anonymous "Milkmen who delivered milk, soda water, and concentrated Coca-Cola and other syrups to be mixed in it right to your door." —Anonymous, 72, Oregon "I never even SAW an avocado, let alone taste one, 'til I was about 20 and went to my first Mexican restaurant with a friend. I was HOOKED on them! I eat avocados daily now! Yumm!" —Anonymous, Kicking around since 1951 (73 years old), Chicago, Illinois "Fancy baby gear! Strollers with cup holders, electric (not wind-up) baby swings, affordable electric breast pumps, video monitors for the nursery, digital cameras built into phones for instant results, and more…" —Anonymous, 67, Georgia "Seat belts. Car seats for kids. Helmets, knee pads, etc. for when you ride a bike." —Anonymous "Using coal to heat the house." "Video calls – talking face-to-face over a screen for the first time felt like sci-fi. Oh, and smart watches; they so remind me of the Star Trek communicators!" —Anonymous "I was in college when hand calculators became common. They were about the size of a paperback book, cost about $600 (I seem to recall my tuition per semester was $700), and engineering students were required to get them. Now you can get a 'Hello Kitty' calculator at Five Below that probably has 10 times the calculating ability." —odaydaniel"So true. The Texas Instruments calculator was required for the computer programming class in the mid-1970s. Expensive. Purchased a new calculator this year for $5 at Walmart."—smartwitch66 "When my grandmother was a kid, women couldn't vote. When I was a kid, Mom couldn't have a bank account or credit card in her own name. All that progress, and now they're trying to take it away." "I'm older than the chicken pox vaccine! I remember going to 'pox parties' in kindergarten to get exposed to the virus (I guess so I could get it over with, idk). Yes, I did get infected, and I remember the oatmeal baths well, LOL. My brother and husband are younger than I am and both received the vaccine as kids. So, I guess I'm the lucky one who will eventually deal with Shingles." —happytiger557"You can get the Shingles vaccine which I highly recommend."—smartwitch66 And finally, a nostalgic moment: "I remember when I was younger, we would go to a store called Holton's or Larson's, and we would get penny candy. The candy would not be wrapped, and we would select the candy that we wanted. It would be put in a bag, and then we'd just eat the candy out of the bag. My favorite was Swedish Fish. They had the big, long, red ones that were probably like three inches long, and you would pay a penny for each." —Anonymous, 43, Utah Anything I missed?
