Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reveals he battled Stage 4 melanoma: ‘I now have no tumors'
Jerry Jones was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma in 2010 but overcame it with the help of an experimental trial drug, the Dallas Cowboys owner revealed this week. 'I was saved by a fabulous treatment and great doctors and a real miracle [drug] called PD-1 [therapy],' Jones told the Dallas Morning News on Tuesday. 'I went into trials for that PD-1 and it has been one of the great medicines. 'I now have no tumors.' Jones told the Morning News that he was diagnosed with cancer in June 2010 and began treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston soon after. In the decade that followed, Jones said, he underwent lung surgery twice and lymph node surgery two times as well. He did not indicate when he began the PD-1 therapy. According to the American Cancer Society, PD-1 is a protein that acts as an 'off switch' to keep certain immune cells — T cells — from attacking normal cells. PD-1 inhibitor therapy blocks this protein to help the immune system better find and attack cancer cells. Jones, 82, serves as the Cowboys' president and general manager in addition to his role as owner. The first public mention of his diagnosis appears to have come during Episode 5 of the Netflix docuseries 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys,' which will be released Tuesday. While telling an anecdote about a completely different subject — his relationship with former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson — Jones casually mentions that '12 or so years ago ... I had some cancer treatment' at MD Anderson. The Morning News followed up on that comment during its wider-range interview with Jones.

Pfizer says drugmakers met with Trump admin to discuss lowering drug prices
Pfizer (PFE) and other drugmakers met with the Trump administration to discuss lowering U.S. drug prices but no commitments have been made, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said on Monday at the Goldman Sachs Healthcare Conference. Boula said the meetings 'were cordial,' but they were not 'digging into the substance yet,' adding that 'it is just trying to understand high-level ideas and no commitments. So what could be the outcomes of something like that? It could be from nothing to very big.''

Jacksonville demonstration shows solidarity for Los Angeles anti-ICE protests
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of Jacksonville's Morning News for June 10, 2025. First Alert Meteorologist Garrett Bedenbaugh is tracking more storms today along with continued heat. High temperatures will return to the 90s today before rain and storm coverage increases in the afternoon. A summer-time pattern continues with daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms alongside hot and humid conditions. Three Big Things to Know: People gathered in Jacksonville to stand in solidarity with protestors in Los Angeles calling for an end to immigration raids. "I think that its really important that when people are scared like this they feel like they cant come out to these protests they feel like they cants be visible so we have to be visible for them.', said Jamison Collin-Morita with the Jacksonville Immigrant Rights Alliance. Many protesters say they'll be back today to stand against a proposed ordinance before City Council. It would block any city money from going to undocumented migrants. President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard members to help respond to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids. The authorization came after a day of mostly peaceful protests Monday. The 2,000 Guard members are an addition to the 2,100 Guard troops the president previously mobilized for the protests Sunday morning. Trump also deployed 700 Marines to help them Monday. Governor Gavin Newsom called the deployments reckless and 'disrespectful to our troops.' Trump said Monday that the city would have been 'completely obliterated' if he had not deployed the Guard. A teenager is seriously hurt in a crash involving an e-bike in Nocatee. The boy failed to stop for a vehicle at Rialto Drive and Nocatee Village Drive late yesterday afternoon when he was hit. He was taken by helicopter to a hospital for treatment. This comes just days after St. Johns County leaders decided against an ordinance that would add stricter rules for children riding e-bikes. Commissioners were considering a ban on kids under 14 from riding them, and setting strict speed limits. Instead, they passed a resolution encouraging riders to be safe. Florida Senator Ashley Moody is pushing a bill that could make it easier to remove illegal immigrants. Moody and other Republicans announced yesterday they have introduced the REMOVE Act. It calls for removal proceedings to be concluded within fifteen days after they begin. Moody says this legislation is critical to allow for the prompt removal of aliens who have already been ordered removed. The agency formed to grow Jacksonville's downtown has a new leader. The Downtown Investment Authority hired Colin Tarbert as its new CEO yesterday. He comes from Baltimore where he worked in economic development. Tarbert replaces Lori Boyer, who's retiring after six years in the role. Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan says Tarbert has the experience, vision and passion needed to build on downtown's fast-growing momentum.

Construction headaches in Beachwalk, Deerwood Village
Welcome to the Monday edition of Jacksonville's Morning News for June 9, 2025. A construction traffic shift on County Road 210 has been delayed, while small business owners in the Deerwood Plaza area can't wait for construction of a new Publix to end. TRAFFIC: A construction traffic shift on County Road 210 has been delayed by a week. WOKV reported last week that a traffic shift in the Beachwalk area was planned to start today. But the county says it will now happen on June 16th. That's when westbound traffic will be diverted to a newly constructed roadway. Eastbound lanes will shift to the new roadway on the night of June 19th. It's part of a $15 million widening project that will include six traffic lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, and a new intersection. A construction maze in Deerwood has businesses appealing for help to speed things up. Construction of a new Publix store at Baymeadows and Southside began last October, and isn't expected to be done until December. Businesses in the area say they've been having a hard time with limited parking spaces and construction vehicles all over. The owner of Scramblers says business has been down substantially since they lost their parking lot. Shop owners say if they could just get access to even a section of their parking spaces, it would dramatically help their business. WEATHER: First Alert Meteorologist Corey Simma says heat and humidity continue with a few storms. Highs today will reach the lower and middle 90s with peak feels like temperatures 100-105. Like yesterday, rain and storm coverage will be greatest in SE GA and will still be hit-or-miss. Many neighborhoods, especially across NE FL, look to stay mostly dry today. Storm coverage ramps up beginning Tuesday across the area with daily rounds of rain continuing through the rest of the week. Wednesday and Thursday look to feature the most storms across our area with an active sea breeze. TROPICS: All is quiet in the Atlantic. You can follow daily updates with Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh and his Talking the Tropics blog. Three Big Things to Know: Thousands of protesters took to the street in Los Angeles on Sunday in response to President Donald Trump's extraordinary deployment of the National Guard against Governor Gavin Newsom's wishes. The demonstrations centered on a cluster of federal buildings including a detention center where immigrants arrested on Friday were taken. As the protests swelled on Sunday, demonstrators blocked a freeway entrance, set self-driving cars on fire and threw objects including concrete and electric scooters at law enforcement officers and vehicles. It was a story that captivated Jacksonville nearly three decades ago - the search for 8-year-old Maddie Clifton ended with the discovery of her body under a neighbor's waterbed. This morning, the man who killed Maddie heads before a judge to learn if his sentence of life in prison will be reviewed. Josh Phillips is expected to be in court at 9:00 am to learn when the judge will review his sentence. A child drowned in the ocean in Fernandina Beach. Lifeguards just north of Seaside Park were flagged down by beachgoers just before noon Saturday about a child in distress. The 5-year-old was pulled from the water by bystanders before lifeguards arrived to perform CPR, and still had a pulse when the fire department arrived. Despite rescue and medical efforts, the child reportedly went into cardiac arrest again at the hospital and died.
