13-year-old shark attack survivor returns to the water: 'I wanted to go in'
A young shark attack survivor is speaking out about overcoming fear and returning to the place where he was bit nearly three years ago. In August 2022, Jameson Reeder Jr. was attacked by a 9-foot bull shark while snorkeling in the Looe Key Sanctuary Preservation Area in the Florida Keys. Scientists say the number of bull sharks has been on the rise due to warmer water temperatures and conservation efforts. The then-10-year-old lost his right leg after the attack. Amid his ongoing recovery, Jameson returned to the Keys and even went back into the water. "I was a little scared before I jumped in … I wanted to go in and for a split two seconds, it was like a whole flashback of the whole shark attack just because of the environment of the whole reef," Jameson told "Good Morning America.""But I knew I had the Lord and so, I popped up and I just had a lot of fun." Jameson Reeder Sr., Jameson's father, said seeing his son face his fears was a victory not just for the boy but for their whole family and for everyone who has heard of his story, which "GMA" featured back in September 2022. "To see him reclaim that from fear was such, I think, not just victory for him and all of us, but for so many people who've been following the story," Reeder said. "And do it with so much joy and strength. That was the epitome of that day -- joy and strength." Jameson and his family are sharing their story since the shark attack in a new book titled, "Rescue at the Reef: The Miraculous True Story of a Little Boy with Big Faith." "The message is there is hope and healing," Reeder said of the new book. Jameson, now 13, has a prosthetic leg that bears the image of a great white shark. He has undergone six surgeries and has future procedures ahead as he grows. But his mother, Mary Reeder, said Jameson hasn't let any of it slow him down. "He blows our mind every day. It's been almost three years. He gets up every day and puts that leg on like nothing," she said. Jameson is also embracing sports, playing baseball and learning to surf. "It's like I was born again," Jameson said. "I had to learn how to walk, run, jump, and all that stuff." "I was a pitcher before the shark attack and I'm trying to get back to it," the 13-year-old added. "I've had some tough times and pain through some baseball games. But with how good prosthetics are getting, I actually have no more pain now playing baseball."

Killarney Brewing and Distilling Company to cease operations
An examiner appointed to the company will be making an application to the courts tomorrow regarding the future of the business. It is unclear if this will result in the company entering receivership, but it is understood the production of beer and whiskey at the company will end soon. Huge doubts about its viability had been raised in recent mo nths because of increased running costs, global trading uncertainty, and consequences arising from the pandemic. More than 50 people work at the company's two Co Kerry sites in Killarney and Fossa, and the company supplies drinks to many pubs and hotels in surrounding areas. James Anderson, a partner at Deloitte Ireland, was appointed as interim examiner to KBD in April when the company filed a petition with the High Court after a potential merger with a US partner fell through. Entering examinership was seen as the most viable path to secure its future. It gave the business protection from creditors and a 100-day window for an examiner to put together a rescue package. Ultimately these efforts have been unsuccessful. A spokesman for the examiner said it would not be appropriate to comment at this time. KBD, which has strong US links, started trading in 2015, opening a taproom in Killarney. It expanded in 2022, opening the brewery and visitors' centre in Fossa, on the outskirts of the town. This was funded with about €12m capital raised from investors in 2020. It was hoped the new plant would attract more than 100,000 visitors per year. However, the expansion coincided with the pandemic, and then higher costs for raw materials, supply chain disruption, delays opening the Fossa plant, and global economic uncertainty over tariffs. Last year the company launched a plan to raise up to €7m in funding, but Companies Registration Office filings this year showed it fell well short of this target, raising about €3.5m – mainly via US-based investors. KBD's most recently filed accounts show the business recorded losses of €1.6m in 2022, and €513,000 in 2021. This was despite sales doubling in 2022, hitting €2m and up from €850,000 a year earlier. There is huge uncertainty in the Irish drinks sector due to the imposition of US tariffs on EU imported goods, currently standing at 10pc. Guinness brewers Diageo confirmed last month it has stopped distilling its Roe and Co whiskey. Jameson producer Irish Distillers announced in March that production at Midleton, Co Cork, would pause from April until the summer. Bushmills and Tullamore Dew also reduced production earlier this year. The tariff, in place since April, has made Irish whiskey less competitive against its American rivals on the US market. The threat of an even higher tariff – with Mr Trump suggesting a 30pc levy could be applied from August 1 – has contributed to the decision by up to 90pc of Irish whiskey makers to pause distilling for now.
