Editorial: Leaders' resolve on Pulse memorial reflects our community's strength
It's time. It's time. It's past time. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings knows the truth of those words more than most. As the county's elected sheriff, he left his home in the pre-dawn hours of June 12, 2016 to rush to the site of downtown Orlando's Pulse nightclub. He'd stay there for nearly 24 hours, working beside his friend John Mina (who was at the time Orlando's police chief) as law enforcement frantically sought to rescue those trapped inside. Demings will likely never forget that night, nor the weeks and months that followed. There are so many more Central Floridians who have horrific memories engraved on their souls. The survivors who huddled and hid as a gunman stalked through the club. The emergency-department staffers who worked tirelessly to save as many lives as they could. The family members who pleaded to know if their sons, daughters, spouses, friends or other loved ones were among the dead. Community leaders like Orlando Commissioner Patty Sheehan, the county's first openly gay elected official, who rushed to the site and tried to comfort family members' fear and grief. And the millions of Central Floridians who fought to reconcile the knowledge that their home had become the site of the worst mass shooting in the nation's history — up until that point. (Sadly, it's been eclipsed). Those survivors may not need a memorial to recall the horror of those early dawn hours. But they deserve one, especially if it nurtures the lasting changes that brought Orlando-area residents together in anguish and solidarity. That compassion has centered on the LGBTQ+ community that formed the base of Pulse's clientele, and the young Hispanics who came from across Central Florida for a weekly celebration of Latin music. It was an outpouring of acceptance that transcended the political, changing Orlando for good, and for the better. It lives on in many local residents's stubborn resistance to anti-immigrant crusades and attempts to marginalize sexual minorities. The names and faces of the 49 'angels' who died that night should never be forgotten. Nor should the terror of another 53 who were wounded but survived. The psychological scars of those who ran for their lives, or who huddled in hiding while waiting for rescue, also deserve acknowledgement. Most of all, the tragic lessons of this hate crime should be memorialized in the hopes that it avoids a repeat. And the resilience of local residents — their steadfast refusal to let Orlando and its surroundings be redefined by hate — should be celebrated. That's why Orange County residents should applaud the leadership of elected county and city leaders, who are joining forces to insist on (and pay for) a memorial on the site of the nightclub at the corner of Orange Avenue and Kaley Street. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer pushed for the city to take the lead after the collapse of the nonprofit foundation that was supposed to build the memorial. The wait has been infuriating, stretching the boundaries of trust and raising serious questions about what happened to millions of dollars raised toward the ostensible goal of creating a suitable tribute. Local leaders should continue to push — through any means at their disposal — for a thorough audit of OnePulse, the nonprofit that solicited money toward a memorial yet stumbled again and again. But the plans for a $12 million memorial, developed under the guidance of Orlando city government, are heartbreakingly beautiful — a glowing tribute of brightly colored glass, flowing water and the names of those angels who now stand as guardians to this community's resilience, hope and love. Plans unveiled before the County Commission Tuesday show a site that will offer ample opportunity for reflection — both of the tragedy that brought Central Floridians to their knees, and the inspiration leading them to stand together in solidarity and service without prejudice. Commissioners spent nearly two hours discussing the city's request to contribute $5 million toward the cost of the memorial, but the outcome was never seriously in doubt. The biggest point of strife: Who would make the motion to proceed with the donation. Demings took that victory by fiat, and it's hard to criticize his decision. His early, strong leadership almost certainly broke down barriers among more conservative communities that might otherwise have responded to the massacre with silence — or worse. There are still big questions ahead, including a continued probe into the failures of the OnePulse Foundation. City and county leaders should work together to demand answers. Some community members may also criticise the decision to remove most — possibly all — of the nightclub building and its iconic sign as the memorial is constructed. Certainly, their shared financial contribution gives every Orange County resident the right to voice their opinion; for more information, visit But that should not obscure the victory here, and Orange County and Orlando residents should be rightly proud of their elected leaders for insisting that plans for a memorial move forward — despite the delays and abuse of trust. Once again, this community has chosen to transcend tragedy and hatred with hope and unity. It is the right decision, and within two years this city should have a fitting memorial to the sacrifice of young people who only wanted to dance and have fun, without boundaries or prejudice.

Hawaii authorities act quickly after alarming discovery of python in man's backyard
Hawaii authorities act quickly after alarming discovery of python in man's backyard Hawaii does not have native snake populations, so any report of a snake on the loose is cause for alarm. That certainly was the case Sunday after a Honolulu-area homeowner spotted a 3-1/2-foot ball python in his backyard. According to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture, the Kaimuki resident initially mistook the immobile snake as a child's toy. But during the night he saw the toy stretch out and begin to slither, so he dialed 911. Officers with the Honolulu Police arrived and secured the area, and quickly summoned inspectors with the Department of Agriculture. Inspectors captured the 'docile' and nonvenomous reptile, believed to have been someone's freed or escaped pet, with a pair of tongs. Because snakes are highly invasive in Hawaii, and pose substantial threats to endangered bird species, it's illegal to own or possess the reptiles. Violators can be fined up to $200,000 and jailed for up to five years. Ball pythons are native to West and Central Africa. Their name stems from the fact that they often curl into a ball when stressed or threatened. The ball python captured at the Kaimuki residence is being 'safeguarded' at the Department of Agriculture's Plant Quarantine Branch.

'Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller Slams L.A. Hospital For Leaving Object In Her After 2020 Surgery
Abby Lee Miller has sued a prominent Los Angeles-area hospital for malpractice, accusing them of failing to honor a proper duty of care. The former "Dance Moms" star filed a legal complaint against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital and two of the facility's doctors for leaving a foreign object inside her body during a 2020 operation. According to Abby Lee Miller, she felt that following the surgery, the hospital and its medical practitioners did not listen to her concerns. Her issues with the famous facility come years after battling a long list of health problems. In her legal complaint against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital, Miller revealed she underwent a spine surgery five years ago. She noted two doctors were in charge of the operation, and everything seemed fine until she noticed concerning symptoms. Miller claimed she experienced abdominal pain and discomfort, but her complaints were allegedly brushed off by multiple doctors, including the two responsible for her surgery. She continued to endure the intense symptoms until one of her medical reps decided to perform a CT scan. The scan, per Miller, revealed a "retained catheter" had been left inside her body after the spine operation. On that note, she sued the hospital and the two doctors involved for medical negligence, professional negligence, medical battery, and more. She also asked for at least $1.4 million in damages, per TMZ. A spokesperson for Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital addressed the lawsuit in a statement to the outlet, claiming the medical facility could not comment on pending legal matters or share details about a patient's medical treatment. Although the facility could not address Miller's lawsuit, the representative claimed that the hospital has always prioritized its patients' wellbeing and never dabbled in malpractice. "We are dedicated to ensuring that we meet the highest standards of care for all those we serve," the spokesperson said. The legal drama between the hospital and Miller follows various medical issues. Woman's Day covered the media personality's health struggles, reporting that she underwent a gastric bypass surgery in 2017 to increase the results of her weight loss journey. Miller became focused on shedding the extra pounds in 2015 after a diabetes diagnosis. A month after the gastric bypass surgery, Miller was found guilty of bankruptcy fraud and was sentenced to one year in prison. However, her failing health allowed her to be released eight months later, and she regained her freedom with a new body. Miller reportedly lost 100 pounds during her time in prison, and she declared that she was no longer diabetic after prison doctors discontinued her diabetes medication. In April 2018, she was rushed to the hospital for an unknown thyroid condition that later left her paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors initially performed an emergency surgery, believing she had a spinal infection, but she was eventually diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma. The rare but aggressive type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma needed 10 rounds of chemotherapy and months of rehabilitation before Miller was declared cancer-free in 2019. However, she needed to use an electric wheelchair to move. Although her health problems were significant, Miller was more disheartened by her time behind bars for bankruptcy fraud. In 2022, The Blast covered her reaction to those who abandoned her in her time of need. The media personality slammed her former co-stars from "Dance Moms," claiming the parents of the children she coached did not support her throughout her incarceration. She condemned their actions as ingratitude, saying: "Shame on you after what I did for you, for your children…helped make you a lot of money. You couldn't come to visit me for eight and a half months?" According to Miller, she received tons of letters from children in other countries, yet not a single message came from the families she helped rise to fame. She slammed them for using her as a stepping stone, claiming they wouldn't have made it without her. Miller's medical negligence lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital isn't the first time she has sued a Los Angeles-area facility for improper care. In 2022, she filed a legal complaint against a hotel in L.A. called Hampton Inn and Suites and requested that they pay over $20 million in damages. The choreographer claimed she suffered emotional and physical injuries during her stay at the hotel in March 2020. She noted her room's sliding bathroom door crashed on her head while attempting to free her wheelchair, which got caught under it. Miller alleged the "300+ pound door" pinned her down for six to twelve minutes before the hotel's staff heard her cries for help. She was rushed to the hospital for treatment and blamed the hotel for delaying her healing from a previous cancer surgery. Will Abby Lee Miller emerge victorious in her lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Marina Hospital?
