Bruce Percelay rejoins Nantucket hospital board to lead $50 million fundraising campaign
'It's now incumbent upon the largest institution on the island to provide our own housing, which is essential to attracting and retaining personnel,' said Percelay, who spends his summers on the island. Advertisement Percelay and his wife, Elisabeth, helped lead a previous campaign for the hospital, one that raised $120 million to open a new building six years ago. He is rejoining the board, while her term on the board comes to an end. Percelay said his old friend, retired banker and hospital board member Chad Gifford, nudged him to return. Percelay was named board chairman earlier this month, taking over for Craig Muhlhauser as his five-year term concluded. Percelay has already started meeting with hospital development staffers about who to approach on the island for donations, and how best to go about it. 'I can't say it took a lot of convincing,' Gifford said. 'He's a fantastic fundraiser. ... He has a knack of identifying those who would be most interested in supporting [the hospital].' Advertisement So much for getting some downtime on the island this summer. 'My form of relaxation is to sit in board meetings,' Percelay joked. 'Let's just say it requires me to be relatively efficient and not get an enormous amount of sleep.'

Six EMK musicals coming to Disney+ next month
Some of Korea's most iconic homegrown musicals by EMK Musical Company are heading to streaming for the first time. The leading South Korean producer of original and licensed musical productions announced Monday that six of its biggest titles — 'Elisabeth,' 'Phantom,' 'Monte Cristo,' 'The Man Who Laughs,' 'Xcalibur' and 'Marie Antoinette ' — will be released on Disney+ this August. With this release, EMK hopes to offer longtime fans a chance to relive the experience while also introducing first-time watchers to the emotional depths of the genre, according to the company's statement. Launching the rollout on Aug. 6 are 'Elisabeth: The Musical Live' and 'Phantom: The Musical Live.' The Korean edition of 'Elisabeth," which traces the tragic life of Austria's iconic empress, premiered in 2012. The live recording of the production's 10th anniversary performance featuring Ock Joo-hyun and Lee Ji-hoon was released in cinemas last year. 'Phantom,' based on Gaston Leroux's 'The Phantom of the Opera,' was captured in 2021 with cinematic close-ups and immersive sound. The production stars KyuHyun, Shin Young-sook and ballerina Kim Joo-won. On Aug. 13, 'Monte Cristo' and 'The Man Who Laughs' arrive. Filmed in 8K with 14 cinematic cameras, 'Monte Cristo' showcases actors such as Kai and Lina in a dynamic, onstage perspective. 'The Man Who Laughs' was recorded in 2018, when the musical adaption of Victor Hugo's novel was premiered. In 2019, the 143-minute director's edition, featuring Park Kang-hyun, Shin Young-sook and Yang Joon-mo, was released in Korean cinemas. 'Xcalibur,' a retelling of the Arthurian legend, and 'Marie Antoinette,' which contrasts the ill-fated queen's life with that of the fictional revolutionary Marguerite Arnaud, roll out on Aug. 20. "We want to offer audience members who had attended the performances a chance to relive the emotions they felt at the time, while providing those who were unable to visit the theater in person an opportunity to newly experience the essence of the musical through high-definition video and immersive sound," the company said.

Nine-year-old girl suffers life-changing injuries after being mowed down by dirt bike in Sydney park hit-run
A young girl who was meant to be enjoying a night at Disney on Ice is instead in hospital after being mowed down by a dirt bike. Nine-year-old Elisabeth Bambina was playing with friends at Haydon Park, behind her home in Rosemeadow in Sydney's southwest, when she was run over on Thursday. A man riding an unregistered dirt bike allegedly sped through the park and struck Elisabeth as she rolled down a hill about 5.45pm. The rider didn't stop, leaving the nine-year-old with significant head and facial injuries. She was treated at the scene before being rushed to The Children's Hospital at Westmead in a serious condition. The Year 4 student underwent emergency surgery on Thursday and spent hours in surgery again on Friday morning. Plastic surgeons have also been called in to assess the extent of any permanent damage. Elisabeth's mother, who was interstate at the time, was flying home to be by her daughter's side. Her aunt, Brittany Rousell, is pleading for help to find the rider. 'She's supposed to go to Disney on Ice tonight with her family, but now she's having a surgery, not knowing the outcome, what's going to happen,' Rousell said. 'Just gutting that they've just left this port. What if she was by herself? She could have been dead. Which is just gut-wrenching that they've left a nine-year-old in that condition.' NSW Ambulance Station Manager Abbey Gillam described the situation as traumatic for everyone involved, especially the young patient. Police are calling for the rider to come forward. 'The rider would know that he hit the little girl, he did stop briefly, had a really brief conversation and rode off without helping the young child,' Deputy Superintendent Grant Healey said. CCTV shows several trail bikes tearing through the park before the hit-and-run, with the fleeing rider reportedly seen wearing a white helmet. 'We desperately need the help of the community to tell us who's riding the bikes, where the bikes are,' Healey said.

2-year-old in coma after E. coli infection from Oklahoma lake. ‘Blows our minds'
A 2-year-old girl contracted E. coli at an Oklahoma lake and is now fighting for her life as complications from the infection takes its toll on her body, her family says. 'It's a nightmare, and it happened so fast — within like a week, we're here,' said Suzanne Faircloth, the mother of Elisabeth Faircloth, who became ill after swimming in Keystone Lake in early June, KOTV reported. According to a GoFundMe, Elisabeth is battling kidney failure and is 'fighting every day to stay with us.' Elisabeth's sister, Grayson Faircloth, said the virus has been attacking other organs as well, including her liver. Melissa Lynne, Elisabeth's aunt, said in a Facebook post her niece was diagnosed with Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome and is fighting three different strains of E. coli. 'She is currently on dialysis and has been medically paralyzed in order to give her little body the best chance at conquering this thing,' Lynne said. 'Although the prognosis is hopeful, it will be a very long battle to get her well again and it's uncertain if she will ever recover 100% or if there will be permanent kidney and/or brain damage.' The Mayo Clinic says Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome, also called HUS, can cause blood clots throughout the body 'when small blood vessels become damaged and inflamed.' Young children are most susceptible to HUS, and certain E. coli strains are often the cause. In a June 17 update, Kelly Faircloth said Elisabeth was now awake, but the infection had begun attacking her lungs. 'It blows our minds, because we've never even heard of anything like this ever happening,' Elisabeth's mother told KOTV. 'We've heard of E. coli — but usually in hamburgers.' Multiple waterways in Oklahoma were reported to have elevated levels of E. coli when water samples were collected May 23, according to the Grand River Dam Authority. Those waterways did not include Keystone Lake, located about a 25-mile drive northwest from Tulsa, but the River Parks Authority announced June 10 that Zink Lake would be closed 'due to unsafe water conditions from high Keystone Dam releases.' Children under 5 are among the groups of people most likely to be infected with E. coli, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most E. coli bacteria are harmless, the CDC says, but others cause sickness and the risk of HUS.
