'Abbott Elementary' Quinta Brunson's Estranged Husband Yet To Respond To Divorce Filing
Quinta Brunson is making moves in court even if her estranged husband is not. The actress is pushing forward with her divorce from Kevin Anik, who has yet to file an official response to her petition. The latest move comes as Brunson enjoyed glowing recognition in her hometown of Philadelphia, where she was honored with a mural and the key to the city. Quinta Brunson and Kevin Anik, who kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight, reportedly got engaged in 2020 and married the following year. The star filed to end her marriage back in March after more than three years together, citing "irreconcilable differences" in the paperwork. Brunson also asked the court to enforce a postnuptial agreement that outlines how their assets should be divided. But as of now, Anik has not filed a formal response or made any public comment on the split. Brunson, represented by top-tier divorce firm Wasser, Cooperman & Mandles, which includes celebrity lawyer Laura Wasser, told the court she has already submitted all required financial disclosures. Those included her income, expenses, assets, debts, and a breakdown of what she considers shared versus separate property, In Touch confirmed. Before her divorce filing made headlines, Brunson had kept most of her relationship with Anik out of the public eye. The 35-year-old confirmed she was engaged to Anik in July 2020 with a quiet Instagram post featuring a diamond ring and the caption, "More good news." The Blast reported that their postnuptial agreement covered how the property would be split, and with no children involved, child support was not part of the case. Despite being married to one of TV's most visible stars, Anik stayed almost entirely off the radar. He had no public social media presence and rarely appeared in Brunson's posts. Still, he did show up to support her during major career milestones. In 2022, the couple attended the Time 100 Gala together after Brunson was honored as one of the most influential people of the year. They made another public appearance in 2023 at Dwyane Wade's FWRD party, celebrating his Hall of Fame induction. Apart from showing up with her and red carpets, Brunson also openly expressed love and gratitude for her now-estranged husband during some of the biggest moments of her career. As she turned her into one of television's breakout stars, she took time during multiple award show speeches to recognize Anik's support. Brunson first publicly honored him in 2022 while accepting the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, calling him "the most supportive man I've ever known." In 2023, she thanked him again at the Golden Globes while accepting her award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Series. The praise continued into 2024 when she received her second Emmy, this time for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy, and shared more appreciation for Anik's encouragement. Although their relationship mainly had stayed out of the spotlight, Brunson's heartfelt tributes revealed the significant role he played in her life before their marriage quietly came to an end. While her personal life underwent a change coupled with an ongoing divorce, Brunson was honored for her professional success in a significant way back home. AP News reported that last month, the writer received the key to the city of Philadelphia during a ceremony at her old school, Andrew Hamilton, which inspired the setting of her hit ABC series. Brunson accepted the honor from Mayor Cherelle Parker with humor, saying, "Wow! I want to ask the question on everybody's mind: What does it open?" During the event, she celebrated the role public schools played in shaping her story and spotlighted the importance of arts and music in education. Her family and former teachers, including Joyce Abbott, who inspired the show's title, were all there to witness the moment. Brunson reflected on how murals she saw growing up encouraged her and said she hopes the mural will inspire the next generation the same way. Even with all that is going on in her personal life, "Abbott Elementary" has kept its momentum going strong and is now officially on its way back. ABC renewed the hit comedy for a fifth season back in January 2025, surprising fans with a heartwarming video on Instagram featuring the show's beloved student cast members. "Season 5, here we come! Join your favorite staff and students for more #AbbottElementary on ABC and stream on Hulu," read the post's caption, followed by an enthusiastic nod from Brunson herself." All of the main cast, including Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tyler James Williams, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, Janelle James, and William Stanford Davis, are set to return alongside Brunson, promising more laughs, lessons, and chaos at the fictional Philadelphia school. Despite the silence from Kevin Anik's side, Quinta Brunson appears focused on moving the process forward on her terms.

A Scenic Tour of Red Tape: Tracking the Slowest High-Speed Train in the Country
On a recent Friday, Mark Wasser, an eminent-domain lawyer from Sacramento, embarked on a one-day road trip of more than 500 miles. It is one that he has taken often over the past decade. A tall and trim man in his 70s, dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt, Mr. Wasser folded himself into the driver's seat of his car and aimed south. He drove toward dozens of California's high-speed rail construction projects scattered across the vast farmland of the Central Valley. No one has represented more eminent domain cases involving the rail project than Mr. Wasser. In the long distances between stops, visiting clients and seeing the changing landscape, he pondered something that Gov. Gavin Newsom had said a few days before. Mr. Newsom was a guest on 'Real Time With Bill Maher' when the host blamed lawyers, lobbyists, contractors, environmentalists, unions and others for the delays. 'The biggest delay on high-speed rail,' Mr. Newsom replied, 'has been taking 2,270 properties under eminent domain and ultimately getting the environmental work cleared.' It was a bold and pointed casting of blame for a project that is a running joke — a not-running joke — and a punchline for government inefficiency and bureaucratic entanglement. California's high-speed rail exists today mostly as a gauge for whether the country can build big things in the 21st century. So far, the answer appears to be no. Approved by voters in 2008 with the promise of connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco by now, no track has been laid. Initial cost estimates of $33 billion have tripled. Asked whether eminent domain had been its top problem, the California High-Speed Rail Authority, the agency responsible for the project, echoed Mr. Newsom. 'The Governor is correct to note that right-of-way acquisition has been the biggest delay in the 119-mile initial operating segment,' the authority said in a statement. The project's ambitions have been reduced to having trains run 171 miles between Bakersfield and Merced by 2033. Bakersfield? Merced? What happened to Los Angeles and San Francisco? Someday, maybe. Mr. Wasser does not expect to see it in his lifetime. But he and his 70-some clients — farmers, dairies, irrigation districts and so on — are not to blame, he said. Most are people who had been farming in the Central Valley for years, even generations. Then they were told that progress was coming in the form of a bullet train, and they needed to get out of the way. 'In my opinion, it is not factually accurate to blame eminent domain for slowing the process,' Mr. Wasser said. 'It's part of the process, but it hasn't slowed anything down.' On he drove, past the bustle of Fresno and into the rural heart of the Central Valley, to the center of the rail project. Diepersloot's Farm Much of California's interior is a table-flat landscape lined by ruler-straight roads stretching toward distant mountains. It is an earthen version of graph paper. In the spaces between the lines is some of the world's most valuable farmland, row after straight row of fruits, nuts and produce. But the planned route for high-speed rail is a diagonal squiggle, as if someone dropped a length of yarn on the map. 'Farming here is all squares and rectangles,' Mr. Wasser said. 'But high-speed rail is at an angle, every single time, so you're carving things up into little triangles and trapezoids.' He stopped at the farm of John Diepersloot, between Kingsburg and Laton. Among Mr. Diepersloot's crops are about 1,000 acres of stone fruits — peaches, apricots and so on — including patented varieties shipped daily during harvest season to Japan, Singapore, China and elsewhere. The high-speed rail bed — a smooth, wide berm, trackless for now — cuts diagonally across those orchards. 'It carved up all the farmland,' Mr. Diepersloot said. 'And it left a lot of remnant pieces that are useless.' Today, from his piece of agricultural paradise, Mr. Diepersloot sees two fresh overpasses built to carry county roads over the planned rail line. On one side of the rail route is a flourishing crop of prized nectarines, soon to be picked and packed for global destinations. On the other is a 35-acre triangle-shaped graveyard of dead trees, marooned from the water supply. Mr. Diepersloot is satisfied with the undisclosed settlement he received for the farmland he lost and the years of headaches he endured while rerouting roads, power supplies and pump stations. He has trouble imagining trains zipping past his nectarines. 'I'm 62 years old,' he said. 'If I make it to 90, there's a chance I'll see it. But San Francisco to L.A.? Never in my lifetime.' Mr. Wasser continued south. Born, raised and educated in California, he knows the complexities of the valley from seven years spent representing rural Madera County. He knows eminent domain, both sides of it, from 10 years spent working for the city of Las Vegas. He voted for high-speed rail in 2008, like a majority of Californians. At the time, details were scarce and dreamy. It was a promise that people would glide at 220 miles per hour and get between California's two largest metropolitan areas in under three hours. The drive takes twice that, at best. 'I assumed they would go up Interstate 5,' Mr. Wasser said, on the west side of the Central Valley, against the coastal mountains. After all, that path was already blazed as a public right-of-way. The follow-the-interstate strategy is one that a company called Brightline is using on I-15 to connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Brightline plans to have that line in service in 2028. I-5 might have been the more sensible idea — it might still be, sunk costs be damned — but that is a different story, murky and convoluted and long ago. It has to do with the quest to loop in cities on the more populated east side of the valley, such as Bakersfield, Fresno and Merced. (And, someday, linking farther north to Modesto, Stockton and Sacramento.) Officials thought it might provide millions of interior residents quick access to the bigger coastal destinations and would stir investment in a part of the state that could use it. Another issue still debated, too late, is why high-speed rail began construction in the middle of the route and not at the end points. Officials wanted to bring jobs to a chronically overlooked region and wanted to show progress quickly, hoping momentum would lead to more funding and support. The Central Valley is flat farmland, mostly. How hard could it be? How It Works Eminent domain is how the government acquires private property for a public purpose — highways, railroads, parks, airports, schools, military bases and so on. A landowner can challenge whether a project serves a 'public purpose,' but none of Mr. Wasser's clients have made that argument against high-speed rail. 'That's not the fight,' Mr. Wasser said. 'The fight is to get your money. Not to be cynical, but get what you can get.' The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, in part, 'nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.' In this case, the California High-Speed Rail Authority gives notice and makes an offer. The landowner, in nearly every instance, declines it. The rail authority, then, files an eminent domain lawsuit and, shortly thereafter, a 'motion for possession,' routinely granted by the court, so work on the project can proceed while the amount of the landowner's compensation is negotiated. That's the key, Mr. Wasser said, so he repeated it: Design and construction move ahead during the haggle over money. This dynamic, he believes, counters any claims that eminent domain is responsible for delays. The rail authority confirms this process in its 2025 Project Update Report. 'If landowner offers remain unaccepted and parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable settlement within 45 days, the Authority initiates condemnation to prevent delays to early works and construction,' it reads. Each side appraises the land and any other damages the landowner will suffer. The amounts rarely match. Negotiating begins. Cases can go to a jury trial. So far, high-speed rail has settled every case before that happens, Mr. Wasser said. Juries in the conservative heart of California might favor farmers, not government. The authority reports that it has paid more than $1.5 billion in real-estate acquisition just on this middle 119-mile stretch of the project, where construction is happening. (Mr. Wasser bills by the hour, he said, and does not receive a percentage of the settlements.) Some landowners have multiple cases. Some cases have taken a decade to settle. Some are reopened abruptly, or new cases are filed, when high-speed rail revises plans, even slightly, during construction. It happens a lot. A project of this scale was bound to create vexing circumstances on the ground. But appraisal of agricultural property can be especially complicated. Theoretically, if a farmer has 1,000 acres and is forced to hand 100 acres to rail, he or she should get a tenth of the value of the property. Right? Maybe that 100 acres (always in a triangle, complicating matters) contains the farm's primary well, vital retention ponds, farmhouses, processing facilities, equipment storage. Where are the irrigation canals? The pumps? The utilities? The employee housing? How much does it cost to rework or rebuild all of that? Are all crops equal? Are Mr. Diepersloot's exotic nectarines worth more than someone else's field of hay? Are thousands of mature walnut trees or old-vine grapes different from a field of cotton or rows of peppers replanted every year? Each case is unique. The rail route cut some dairies and farms in half. It split houses from barns and bisected processing facilities. It turned some 100-year-old roads into dead ends, stranding homeowners on inaccessible islands and forcing farmers and their equipment to go miles out of the way simply to work their own land. 'Some schmuck 15 years ago said, 'This is the route we're going to take,'' said Bruce Howarth, one of the clients that Mr. Wasser was on his way to see. 'And they had no idea of the impact.' 'I Hope You Can Swim' Around lunchtime, Mr. Wasser got to Hanford, a neat city of 60,000, where downtown feels replanted from the Midwest, circa 1950. High-speed rail does not plan many stations (fewer stops, faster trains), but one is being built a couple miles east of town, atop a long viaduct about 60 feet high and as long as an airport runway. In such a rural setting, the pilings look out of scale and otherworldly. Mr. Wasser pointed out where a small subdivision had been moved out of the way, where a farmer lost 25 acres of cherry trees to a construction yard, where a cheese company was bumped off land it had bought six months earlier to expand its operation. Mr. Wasser parked in front of Kahn, Soares & Conway. It is a major firm in the world of agribusiness, operating from a modest downtown storefront. The firm began getting calls in about 2013 from people in the area who had received right-of-way notices from high-speed rail. Soon, the firm enlisted Mr. Wasser's help. Now Jan Kahn was behind the wheel. Born and raised in Fresno, he co-founded the Hanford firm in 1973 and is co-counsel with Mr. Wasser on rail-related cases. He wore well-shined black shoes and a tie with a crisp, white shirt. Mr. Wasser rode next to him. The duo continued south, bantering and pointing out the windows at the changes taking place. Mr. Kahn turned west. The road dead-ended at the future rail line, a swath of compacted dirt as wide as a highway, in front of one of the region's biggest dairies, a 24-hour-a-day operation. A dozen construction workers in orange vests were preparing to bore a tunnel under the rail line. It will be big enough for semi trucks and solely for the dairy's use. That is part of a settlement still being negotiated. The rail authority obtained its order of possession in 2019. Mr. Kahn knows firsthand how high-speed rail's arrival can alter quiet lives in unassuming places. More than a decade ago, he attended a community meeting where high-speed rail officials unveiled maps of the proposed route. Mr. Kahn's family lived in a century-old farmhouse outside of Hanford. He learned that the line would cut through his front porch, literally. A rail official explained that the line in that area would be dug below grade. An old farmer overheard. 'I hope you can swim,' he said. The water table is unusually high there, he explained. Sure enough, some months later, the rail authority flipped the route from the west side of Hanford to the east side. Mr. Kahn's house was saved. Now the rail line cuts across the farm of one of his partners. He lost part of his front yard and some corrals so that the road out front could be rerouted for an overpass. It is complete and visible from his front door. Negotiations over a price continue. 'Most people around here think this is the stupidest thing in the world,' Mr. Kahn said. And he turned toward Alpaugh. Alpaugh, Calif. Bruce Howarth is general manager of the Alpaugh Irrigation District, established in 1915. He took over the driver's seat, since he knew the way, and soon parked on a new road overpass, not yet in operation, above the wide stripe of high-speed rail. It slices through what looks like dry, fallow land. 'Everything you look at on paper isn't the same as the real world,' Mr. Howarth said. These are massive retention ponds, shallow reservoirs between berms that fill up during non-drought years, during California's spring runoff. The lagoons, as Mr. Howarth called them, are the major water supply for hundreds of area farmers. Other options include pumping water from the ground. That is not cost-effective or environmentally friendly, given the region's major issue with subsidence. Of three district lagoons, the rail path now cuts two in half. Another is considered part of a wetland, which caused the rail authority to build another sky-high viaduct over what looks like nothing. Mr. Howarth laughed. 'I'm the one who makes it wet,' he said. Mr. Howarth's latest frustration was timing. Rail construction has forced the lagoons to remain dry the past two years. That coincided with wet years, meaning no stored water and lots of pumping for area farmers. This spring he learned that rail construction is further behind, so Mr. Howarth faces another year of watching his reservoirs sit dry as nearby Deer Creek swells with spring runoff from the Sierra Nevada. Mr. Howarth stood on the overpass and looked down at his dry lagoons and the clean stripe of rail bed that cut them in half. He is satisfied with the settlement — $30 million for the irrigation district, he said, much of it for new pumps —but he is certain that he will never see trains run this way. The overpass's only purpose, he said, will be to remind people of a silly idea, unrealized. 'This is never going to be completed,' he said. 'We're standing on a monument.' Conclusion The others now gone, Mr. Wasser was back in the driver's seat. He headed north, thinking about Governor Newsom and eminent domain's role in the tangle of delays that have plagued California's high-speed rail. The rail authority later declined to cite any examples 'in which right-of-way acquisition' — a process that includes eminent domain — 'caused delay to construction activities.' But it noted many secondary reasons the project is so far behind schedule. The agency 'has faced many challenges, including pre-construction activities like third party agreements to acquire right-of-way and relocate utilities in the system's path, various permitting requirements under state and federal law, time consuming and redundant state and federal environmental review processes, legal challenges related to those reviews, and a lack of full project funding which has resulted in costly delays and inefficient delivery,' it wrote in a statement to The Times. Those issues have stories of their own. Mr. Wasser thinks most of them are far bigger reasons for the delays than eminent domain. After dinner in Hanford, Mr. Wasser got back into the car. The sun was sinking to his left. He would be home in Sacramento in about 3½ hours. Imagine getting there in less than half the time, sitting carefree in a comfortable train car. Imagine zipping past all the places Mr. Wasser had visited over 12 hours, a 220 mile-per-hour blur under all the overpasses and over all the bridges, through the orchards and vineyards, past the headlights of cars stuck in traffic, beyond the twinkling lights of valley cities. We can dream, can't we? But if it doesn't happen, Mr. Wasser thought to himself, it's not our fault.

Rockford event promotes eco-friendly fashion and sustainable living
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) – Three local businesses teamed up to 'save the world from your closet' with a fashion show and presentation promoting environmental sustainability. The Norwegian hosted the show, partnering up with Tad More Tailoring and Severson Dells Nature Center. Approximately sixty guests attended an evening dedicated to eco-conscious fashion. Not only were the hosts, designers, and models dressed in eco-friendly fashion, but even the stage itself was decorated with scraps of dress fabric that had been transformed into a tablecloth and backdrop. There were 5 designers, and 4 models, with one designer wearing her own creation. One of the designer's skirts was made from a repurposed antique embroidered pillow case, while another's fancy black and silver dress was made from 'trash she found around her mother's house.' Yet another model wore a white gown made from pillowcases. All of these items could have easily been tossed out, but gained new life through a designer's creativity. CEO of Tad More Tailoring Sarene Alsharif explained the 'peril of perfection' during her presentation. 'We feel like we have to do everything perfectly before we can do anything. And because of that, we're scared to start making an impact.' She went on to tell how when she first decided to live a greener lifestyle she went home and saw her cabinets were full of plastic tupperware. It would have been challenging to replace everything at once. Instead each month she brought home a replacement glass container, and at the end of the year she'd made a difference with twelve sustainable glass containers. Alsharif went on to challenge the audience on how they could reuse things by crafting them into something with a new purpose while saying, 'Get your imagination flowing, don't worry about it being perfect. Perfect is the killer of innovation. Embrace the imperfections.' Ann Wasser, executive director of the Severson Dells Nature Center, said she wanted to bring the community together while encouraging environmentally conscious choices. Wasser encouraged guests to shop at thrift stores to give clothing a second life. She explained that not only is it less expensive, but often the quality of the fabrics are higher. Wasser explained that you could find something close then take it to a tailor like Tad More to get a unique style all their own, and it would still be less costly than many new store items.

Improved Bazetta Fire Dept. score leads to lower insurance costs
BAZETTA, Ohio (WKBN) — Property insurance policyholders in Bazetta could soon pay less for insurance because of an improved fire department score. As of June 1, businesses and homeowners in Bazetta could see lower insurance costs. 'That's a good thing I hope 'cause the reason why is vets and everybody else of retirement age -I'm 83 years old – need some breaks somewhere,' said homeowner Larlun Williams. It's all thanks to the fire department's improved ISO rating. A recent Insurance Services Office Review upgraded its score from a Class 3 to a Class 2. It's now one of about 118 fire departments in the state to achieve a Class 2 ranking. 'It's a big deal,' said Bazetta firefighter Rob reviews are done every five years. It grades the fire department's equipment, personnel and training, water supply system, and communications. Firefighters say access to water is on the list of factors that contributed to the improved score. A water line project in the township added about two dozen new fire hydrants. Another enhancement is the fire department's access road to Elm Road. 'You figure that that cuts out two and a half to three minutes of response time which is significant; fire doubles in size every minute,' Wasser said. 'Those are the big things that insurance companies look for — how far are you away from a hydrant or a water source — you know what kind of response is coming out your fire department station.'Firefighters say the improved rating is something they're proud of. 'Every day that we come to work this is what we're all about — the community and improving our department, our personnel which ultimately benefits the community and everyone that lives here as well as the businesses that are here,' said Wasser.

Looped Solutions™ Launches Corporate Sponsorship Program to Support Domestic Violence Survivors and Advocates Providing Safe Access to Services From Any Mobile Device
HERMITAGE, PA, February 27, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Getting help in an abusive relationship isn't easy when an abuser is monitoring your cell phone. When every call, text, and email is being watched, getting help to escape an abusive relationship can feel impossible. Looped Solutions™, a technology company specializing in safe communication, today announced a Corporate Sponsorship program designed to eliminate financial barriers and provide immediate access to life-saving technology for victim service agencies. Agencies need this technology now—not in their next budget cycle. Victim service agencies are struggling to meet overwhelming demand while facing staffing shortages and funding gaps that put survivors at risk. Looped Fusion Purple™ was built specifically for these agencies, ensuring that survivors can safely connect with their advocates—even if their devices are being monitored or controlled by an abuser. 'For far too many, safety is stolen by an abuser—leaving survivors vulnerable, isolated, and afraid to reach out for help. Over 70% will never seek help through traditional methods. That's where Looped Fusion Purple makes a difference,' said Looped Solutions' CEO, Kara Wasser. By keeping all client-advocate communications within a single safe system, Looped Fusion Purple eliminates the risks of phone calls, emails, and text messages that can be monitored by an abuser. The platform also helps agencies manage growing caseloads more efficiently without increasing advocate burnout or compromising survivor confidentiality. The Urgent Need for Funding & How Corporate Sponsorships Make an Immediate Impact While agencies urgently need this technology, many are struggling to secure funding fast enough. 'Agencies both want and need our technology, but funding cycles often delay adoption. Many are working it into future budgets, but the need is critical now,' Wasser emphasized. Through the Corporate Sponsorship program, companies can immediately provide agencies with access to Looped Fusion Purple, ensuring that survivors are not left waiting for safety. In just the past few weeks, five victim service agencies across three states have been fully funded for multi-year access, impacting thousands of lives. National companies and individuals are stepping up to support this cause. Wheatland Tube, a division of Zekelman Industries, led by visionary leader Barry Zekelman, has committed to a multi-year sponsorship for several agencies, ensuring that more agencies can protect survivors without financial barriers. Karen Cone, Venture Partner at Mastersfund, an investor in Looped Solutions, shared: 'Knowing how essential it is for victims to safely and securely get the help that these agencies provide and recognizing the increasing risks associated with obtaining grant funding, I am tremendously supportive of this Corporate Sponsorship program and also value opportunity to personally step up with individual sponsorships.' A Direct Path to Saving Lives Looped Solutions maintains a growing list of agencies in urgent need of funding. The Corporate Sponsorship program provides a seamless way for companies to direct social responsibility funds where they are needed most, ensuring that victims have a secure way to seek help, access resources, and take steps toward safety. 'We have agencies looking for immediate help,' Wasser stressed.
