Women rescue rabbits abandoned after Anna Delvey photo shoot in New York park
Three women who stepped in to rescue rabbits allegedly abandoned after Anna Delvey's photo shoot are speaking out about the ordeal. According to PEOPLE, Terry Chao, Jennifer Babcock, and Jenna Goins worked together to track and capture three domestic rabbits that were found in Brooklyn's Prospect Park shortly after appearing in photos on Delvey's Instagram. The controversy began when hairstylist Christian Batty, who had helped procure the animals, admitted in a since-deleted social media post that he had abandoned them in the park. He called his actions 'wrong, cruel, and inexcusable,' taking full responsibility. Chao first spotted one of the rabbits through a neighborhood Facebook post, later realizing it was from Delvey's shoot. With the help of Goins, who had experience in catching abandoned rabbits, the women managed to rescue the animals over several days. The bunnies — later named Parker, Moon, and Joaquin — were confirmed to be domesticated and related. The women stressed that dumping domestic rabbits is a widespread issue, often peaking after Easter. 'You'll never see a wild lop-eared rabbit,' Babcock explained, noting signs that showed the animals were not wild. Goins added that the rabbits in Delvey's photos were handled improperly, warning of the risks posed by collars and unsafe positioning. Delvey has since addressed the incident on Instagram, stating she was unaware that the leashes were unsuitable and emphasizing she had no role in sourcing or returning the animals. She also shared proof of a $1,000 donation to All About Rabbits Rescue, pledging greater oversight in future collaborations. All three rabbits are now safe in foster care. 'The story may blow over,' Goins said, 'but if it teaches people that rabbits aren't toys or props, it will have been worth it.'

Goins wins reelection in Alton mayoral race
ALTON, Ill. – Incumbent David Goins was reelected to a second term as Alton mayor on Monday, winning less than 40% of the vote in a three-person race. Just over 4,200 constituents went out and voted in the mayoral race, with Goins taking 1,656 votes, good for 39.4% in the unofficial tally. Aldermen Ray Strebel finished second with 1,348 votes, and former Mayor Brant Walker received 1,200 votes. Goins said he inherited a $3.8 million deficit, which is now a $7.7 million surplus. He said the city's tax rate has been reduced each year. He said it took him about two years of his first term to get the hang of things amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but he's proud of the economic development he's fostered. In a post-victory interview with FOX 2 News, Goins thanked his opponents. 'I would thank them. Because of them, they really pushed me to work hard, so that's the thing, ya know?' he said. 'A mayor's dream is to always run unopposed. That's the dream. But when it's not, then you gotta grind. So, I thank them for their challenge and them pushing me.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Three DCHS students named National Merit finalists
Matthew Dunlay, Nathan Goins and Sally Tidwell took the Pre-SAT and did extremely well: All three Daviess County High School seniors were in the top 1% of scorers of all students who took the PSAT in the state. Earlier this week, the students learned they had been selected as finalists to be National Merit Scholars. Goins, Tidwell and Dunlay join Owensboro High School senior Landon Block as National Merit finalists. Becoming a National Merit Finalist is a process that begins when students take the PSAT. According to the National Merit website, 1.3 million students took the PSAT: Of those, only 16,000 high-scorers were named semifinalists. Most of the semifinalists move on to become finalists, but from there, the group will be narrowed to 6,870 Merit Scholarship designees. The students hadn't been officially notified by letter as of Friday afternoon, but DCPS officials were notified earlier in the week. Goins said although he knew the finalists announcements were imminent, he didn't know until his mother called after seeing it on the school district's social media page. Dunlay brushed up on his punctuation, but otherwise felt ready for the test, which is about 50% reading and writing and 50% mathematics. 'I've always been really good at math,' Dunlay said. Goins said he didn't do much prep work for the test. 'I know I had a study book, but I don't know if I even used it,' Goins said. 'I might have flipped the pages the night before.' Tidwell said in an email she was excited to learn she was a National Merit finalist and said: 'I'm absolutely honored, and very excited, to have made it this far. 'Not many students get this opportunity or this kind of recognition, so I'm incredibly grateful for it.' Dunlay said his family was also pleased by the announcement. 'My dad gave me a high five,' he said. James Bryant, school counselor at DCHS, said the school is proud of the students' accomplishments. The students have 'top of the line great scores, but so is (the students') character,' Bryant said. 'Being named a semifinalist and then a finalist is very excellent in applying for opportunities that are out there,' Bryant said. 'It just strengthens their portfolio.'
