Ephrata man arrested in connection with Schwana murder
May 29—EPHRATA — An Ephrata man was booked into the Grant County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder and drive-by shooting Thursday following the fatal shooting of a 44-year-old man near Schwana late Wednesday night. The victim was from Beverly but his name is not being released yet pending notification of his family. "At this time, we have not been able to locate a next of kin," said Maxwell Yoder, an investigator with the Grant County Coroner's office, early Thursday afternoon. As a result, the victim's name had not been released as of the time of publication Kyle Foreman, public information officer for the Grant County Sheriff's Office, said Angel Luis Olivares, 23, was driving a car that had been identified as a suspect vehicle when he was arrested. Luis Olivares was still listed as in custody on the Grant County Jail's roster as of 5 p.m. Thursday. Foreman said detectives are still interviewing people to determine if the shooting was gang related. The incident was reported at about 10 p.m. Wednesday, Foreman said. The man's body was found in a car on road T.5 Southwest, about three miles north of Schwana. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Schwana is located about seven miles north of Mattawa along State Route 243. Video from cameras near the crime scene identified a suspect vehicle, a white Chrysler 300, Foreman said. Quincy Police Chief Ryan Green said another incident involving a white Chrysler 300 was reported in Quincy earlier in the day. Green said QPD officers received multiple reports of shots fired at about 4 p.m. and found multiple shell casings near the intersection of Sixth Avenue Southeast and H Street Southeast. No one was injured in that shooting. Green said QPD officers don't know yet if the two shootings are related, but it is possible. "We're definitely comparing information, for sure," he said. Ephrata Police Department officers found the vehicle suspected in the Schwana shooting and arrested Olivares as he drove to his residence in Ephrata. Olivares was the only person in the car when he was arrested, Foreman said.

Lakeland high school students selected for NASA challenge
LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) – A group of six high school students from the Central Florida Aerospace Academy is heading for the stratosphere— literally. The students are the only team in the state of Florida selected to participate in NASA's TechRise Student Challenge, a national competition that gives young innovators the opportunity to design, build, and launch an experiment into the upper atmosphere. Their project? A small, hand-built experiment designed to test how different types of 3D-printed plastic materials hold up against radiation nearly 70,000 feet above Earth. 'This is the project right here,' said Joshua Johnson, one of the students on the design-build team, holding up a small box. 'It's quite a small box, but this is kind of the meat of where our project is.' The team learned in January that their idea had been selected. Camille Foreman, the project lead, remembers the moment clearly. 'There was a video scrolling through all the names of the schools, and we were just waiting and waiting,' she said. 'We saw our name, and we were all really excited about it.' Their winning concept explores how radiation in the stratosphere affects 3D-printed materials—a timely and relevant question as reusable rockets and rapid prototyping become increasingly vital in space exploration. 'We designed an experiment that would test the effects of radiation in the upper atmosphere on 3D-printed materials,' Foreman explained. 'Reusable rockets are so relevant now,' added Johnson. 'And 3D printing makes it easy to create parts. So, we thought, what 3D filament is going to last longer?' From idea to execution, the team built their project from the ground up—literally—with many of the components crafted from LEGO bricks. A rotating conveyor belt inside their device will expose different plastics to high-altitude radiation during the flight. 'A lot of projects you do in school are kind of simulations,' Johnson said. 'This is real. This is going up to the stratosphere. That's really cool.' The students have even been able to collaborate with NASA engineers, gaining insight and mentorship from professionals in the aerospace industry. 'They've been a great help,' Foreman said. 'It's definitely giving us a lot of ideas—especially for those of us going into engineering fields.' While they're excited about the science, the students say what stands out most is the teamwork. 'We have very different skills represented here,' said Johnson. 'It's really cool seeing all of us come together, all of our different talents, working together to create this.' The project is scheduled to launch later this summer on a weather balloon in California. From Lakeland to low-Earth orbit, this group of students is proving that big dreams can take flight—even when they start in a small box. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'We're starting to move everything': Trump's China deal frees up shipping
For weeks, Jay Foreman, a toy company executive, froze all shipments from China , leaving Care Bears and Tonka trucks piled up at Chinese factories, to avoid paying President Donald Trump 's crippling 145% tariff. #Operation Sindoor The damage done at Pak bases as India strikes to avenge Pahalgam Why Pakistan pleaded to end hostilities Kashmir's Pahalgam sparks Karachi's nightmare But as soon as his phone lit up at 4 a.m. Monday alerting him that Trump was lowering tariffs on Chinese imports for 90 days, Foreman, CEO of Basic Fun, which is based in Florida, jumped out of bed and called his suppliers, instructing them to start shipping merchandise immediately. "We're starting to move everything," Foreman said. "We have to call trucking companies in China to schedule pickups at the factories. And we have to book space on these container ships now." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Co-Founder of Google Brain, Andrew Ng, Recommends: "These 5 Books Will Turn Your Life Around" Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo If other executives follow Foreman's lead, a torrent of goods could soon pour into the United States. While logistics experts say global shipping lines and American ports appear capable of handling high volumes over the next three months, they caution that whiplash tariff policies are piling stress onto the companies that transport goods around the world. "This keeps supply chain partners in limbo about what's next and leads to ongoing disruption," said Rico Luman, senior economist for transport, logistics and automotive at ING Research. Live Events After talks this weekend in Geneva, the Trump administration lowered tariffs on many Chinese imports to 30% from 145%. China cut its tariffs on American goods to 10% from 125%. If a deal is not reach in 90 days, the tariffs could go back up, though Trump said Monday that they would not rise to 145%. Some importers may hold off on ordering from China, hoping for even lower tariffs later. Importers weighing whether to rush goods in over the next 90 days must also determine if suppliers in China can fill those orders and get them onto vessels by the end of July. Voyages from Chinese ports to the West Coast of the United States can take two to three weeks. Because the timing is tight, Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, does not expect a huge surge of imports in the coming weeks. "Ninety days is not a long runway for people in our business," he said. Seroka added that big retailers might have sufficient products at least for a while because they had brought in large volumes of goods before Trump's tariffs took effect in April. The 30% tariff is still high by historical standards, so importers may decide to pay it only for goods they really need. But others may rush in shipments across the board. Foreman said that while the 30% tax would pose a challenge to a medium-size company like his, it was manageable. He said he could discuss splitting the higher cost with his suppliers and the retailers that sold his products. At this tariff level, consumers can expect a roughly 15% increase in the price on some toys, he added. The tariffs are one of many shocks to supply chains in recent years. Spending during the coronavirus pandemic led to a deluge in imports that overwhelmed ports and shipping companies. And freight costs surged. Separately, low rainfall reduced the amount of water available to the Panama Canal, allowing fewer vessels to pass through. Then, in 2023, the Houthi militia in Yemen started attacking ships in the Red Sea, forcing most shipping lines to take a long detour around the southern tip of Africa. A dockworkers' strike last year at ports on the East Coast of the United States caused more disruption. Overall, supply chains functioned quite well after the upheavals of the pandemic. Using the huge profits they earned during the pandemic, shipping lines bought scores of new vessels. As a result, they had the spare capacity to handle surges in volume and big disruptions like the detour around Africa. The impact of Trump's tariffs has been easy to spot in trade data. In the last five weeks, bookings to ship containers from China to the United States were 45% below the level in the same period last year, according to data from Vizion, a logistics technology company, and Dun & Bradstreet. The Port of Los Angeles received 31% fewer containers last week than during the same week in 2024, while the number of vessels visiting the port was down 20%, Seroka said. Now, shipping lines may have to reorganize their networks again, straining capacity. As a result, shipping rates could rise as much as 20% in the short term, said Peter Sand, chief analyst at Xeneta, a shipping market analytics company.
