Local officer recognized with Illinois Law Enforcement Medal Of Honor
CHILLICOTHE, Ill. (WMBD) — A local police officer was recognized for his brave service to the people of Illinois. Officer David Buchanan of the Chillicothe Police Department was awarded a 2024 Illinois Law Enforcement Medal of Honor on Thursday, according to an Illinois State Police news release. Buchanan joined the department last year after retiring from the Peoria Police Department. He was recognized at the Law Enforcement Medal of Honor ceremony in Springfield, which honored 23 officers from 10 different agencies who performed acts of heroism or were killed or seriously injured while performing their duties. 'Today, we pay tribute to our heroic police officers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty while protecting our communities,' said Gov. JB Pritzker. 'From Palatine to Chicago to Granite City, our honorees saved lives and offered comfort and support to countless others. 'While we will never be able to repay their bravery in full, we hope that this recognition can serve as a public reminder of our gratitude and a symbol of the sincere reverence we hold them in,' the governor said. Brendan F. Kelly, who heads the state police, said the recipients were being recognized for their outstanding examples of courage. 'These men and women faced extreme danger, remained brave in the face of imminent threats, and performed with the highest heroism,' he said. 'Today and forever, we thank and honor them.'

Celebrities Are Sharing Their Favorite Foods, And OMG These Look Delicious
To celebrate APAHM, we sat down with nine Pacific Islander celebs to chat about their careers and cultures for BuzzFeed's Voices of the Pacific series. Naturally, we had to ask about their favorite food from their culture! Here's what they had to say: Buchanan (Tongan) "Oh my god, I'm really missing Tongan food right now. My family are constantly like, 'Oh, we're at this function,' and sending me photos. Ota ika [raw fish in coconut cream] is amazing. I love it. I'm in Mexico City right now, so I'm just eating ceviche, like, 'It's almost the same.' I love tapioca. I love lu sipi [lamb, onion, and coconut cream wrapped in taro leaves]. It's funny, I was vegan for two years [laughs] my family would make me a vegan version. But now I'm back to eating meat, I'm fully back into that. My auntie makes this amazing Fijian curry. It's bomb. It's my favorite." House (Māori) "Green pāua [abalone] and kina [sea urchin]. Equal. I didn't like kina that much when I was growing up, and then in the last 20 years, it's become an obsession." Afualo (Samoan) Related: 24 Strange, Gross, And Totally Surprising Facts About Red Carpet Outfits "Fa'i [green bananas]. I would say I'm a fa'i lover. Now, do I need all of the fixings with it? No, I like my fa'i plain, and I know that's so controversial; I don't care. Also palusami [coconut cream wrapped in taro leaves]. My two faves." Colby (Native Hawaiian) "My go-to traditional Hawaiian plate would be lau lau, kalua pig, some rice, lomi salmon, and I'm good. Ooh and some poi." Related: Sophie Turner Opened Up About Her "Incredibly Sad" Split From Joe Jonas Kightley (Samoan) "Well, this isn't actually Samoan [laughs] but growing up — do you get corned beef in the States? Pisupo? It's like a currency. My favorite growing up was pisupo and rice, pretty much anything with rice. I love it all. We have our own soul food. I love that concept of soul food because food is actually so important to us as well. But if I had to pick one, it would be oka, raw fish and coconut cream." Kessell (Māori) "Well [laughs] when I go home, my whanau or my family say that I'm hopeless because I don't eat meat. So, a boil up, which is probably incredibly good for you because it is all the bones and the meat and the watercress, but it's not a food I eat. I do like fry bread, though. With lots of butter, fantastic." Tarrant (Māori, Samoan, and Niuean) "Oh, man. For food, I love palusami. And if it's dessert — I don't even know if I can call it dessert — but panipopo [coconut buns]." Jane (Tongan) "It's hard to choose one thing. I was in Utah not too long ago, and I went to Pacific Seas, off of Redwood. That's the first thing I wanted when I landed, Tongan food. So I get there, and the first thing I say I want on my plate is lu sipi. It's like the Samoan palusami. Tongans, we like adding more, we're a little extra. Taro leaves, you have meat in there, you can have corned beef in there, or sipi, lamb, coconut milk and onions and all that." finally, Uli Latukefu (Tongan) "Lu sipi, manioke, octopus/feke, I like all of it. If I could have it every Sunday, I would." You can read the full Voices of the Pacific interviews here.

Family of Troy man killed in hit-and-run searching for answers
TROY, Ala. (WDHN) — Family members of Wiley Noble Morse, an avid walker, are searching for answers after they found out he was killed in a hit-and-run over the weekend. 'Shocked and devastated is what I can say because the mother was just with him hours previously before that, and she just broke down crying when we told her, and for the whole family, it's just a sense of loss,' said Jason Buchanan, the victim's brother-in-law. Morse, along with his dog known as 'Punk Munk' was walking to his friend's house along Highway 231 near Troy Sunday night, and then tragedy struck when troopers say a car that failed to stop hit Morse, yet the driver kept going. 'If the guy had stopped, the other guy probably wouldn't have hit him,' Buchanan said. Moments later, he was hit again by a different car driven by a 25-year-old from Pansey in Houston County. The family says they have yet to hear anything from law enforcement about the first vehicle description or identity of the driver. 'We just want justice if what happened was true, and he did get hit, and the guy did leave,' He said. 'We just want justice because how can someone do something and then just leave an injured person sitting there, it's just sad and I hope the person is found.' Buchanan said his brother-in-law walked everywhere. He was a kind person who didn't have much, as he faced life struggles. However, he said you wouldn't have ever known. 'He was fun, he would make you laugh, he talked so fast and sounded like Boomhauer off King of the Hill, he talked that fast and you can hardly understand him,' His brother-in-law said laughing. 'If you were in trouble, he would give you the shirt off his back.' The family has just started a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses since he did not have insurance. 'With the generosity of the public, if we could go ahead and fill in that last gap to give him a proper burial, that way the family will have closure, and we can work on the next chapter of life,' He added. If you have any information about the hit-and-run, you are asked to contact ALEA, at (334) 983-4587. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
