Manhattan police have obtained a warrant for the arrest of 26-year-old Luigi Nicholas Mangione , suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson . Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, while carrying a gun, mask and writings linking him to the ambush. Mangione is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Late Monday, Manhattan prosecutors charged him with five counts, including murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument. Here's the latest: White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says “violence to combat any sort of corporate greed is unacceptable” and the White House will “continue to condemn any form of violence.” She declined to comment on the investigation into the Dec. 4 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson or reports that writings belonging to the suspect, Luigi Mangione, said insurance companies care more about profits than their customers. “This is horrific,” Jean-Pierre said of the fatal shooting of Thompson as he walked in Manhattan. He didn’t appear to say anything as deputies led him to a waiting car outside. “I’m deeply grateful to the men and women of law enforcement whose efforts to solve the horrific murder of Brian Thompson led to the arrest of a suspect in Pennsylvania,” Gov. Hochul said in the statement. “I am coordinating with the District Attorney’s Office and will sign a request for a governor’s warrant to ensure this individual is tried and held accountable. Public safety is my top priority and I’ll do everything in my power to keep the streets of New York safe.” That’s according to a spokesperson for the governor who said Gov. Hochul will do it as soon as possible. Luigi Nicholas Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a healthcare executive in New York City, apparently was living a charmed life: the grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, valedictorian of his elite Baltimore prep school and with degrees from one of the nation’s top private universities. Friends at an exclusive co-living space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Hawaii where the 26-year-old Mangione once lived widely considered him a “great guy,” and pictures on his social media accounts show a fit, smiling, handsome young man on beaches and at parties. Now, investigators in New York and Pennsylvania are working to piece together why Mangione may have diverged from this path to make the violent and radical decision to gun down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a brazen attack on a Manhattan street. The killing sparked widespread discussions about corporate greed, unfairness in the medical insurance industry and even inspired folk-hero sentiment toward his killer. ▶ Read more about Luigi Mangione Peter Weeks, the Blair County district attorney, says he’ll work with New York officials to try to return suspect Luigi Mangione there to face charges. Weeks said the New York charges are “more serious” than in Blair County. “We believe their charges take precedent,” Weeks said, promising to do what’s needed to accommodate New York’s prosecution first. Weeks spoke to reporters after a brief hearing at which a defense lawyer said Mangione will fight extradition. The defense asked for a hearing on the issue. In the meantime, Mangione will be detained at a state prison in western Pennsylvania. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said Tuesday it will seek a Governor’s warrant to secure Mangione’s extradition to Manhattan. Under state law, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul can issue a warrant of arrest demanding Mangione’s return to the state. Such a warrant must recite the facts necessary to the validity of its issuance and be sealed with the state seal. It would then be presented to law enforcement in Pennsylvania to expedite Mangione’s return to New York. But Blair County District Attorney Peter Weeks says it won’t be a substantial barrier to returning Mangione to New York. He noted that defendants contest extradition “all the time,” including in simple retail theft cases. Dickey, his defense lawyer, questioned whether the second-degree murder charge filed in New York might be eligible for bail under Pennsylvania law, but prosecutors raised concerns about both public safety and Mangione being a potential flight risk, and the judge denied it. Mangione will continue to be housed at a state prison in Huntingdon. He has 14 days to challenge the detention. Prosecutors, meanwhile, have a month to seek a governor’s warrant out of New York. Mangione, wearing an orange jumpsuit, mostly stared straight ahead at the hearing, occasionally consulting papers, rocking in his chair, or looking back at the gallery. At one point, he began to speak to respond to the court discussion, but was quieted by his lawyer. Luigi Mangione, 26, has also been denied bail at a brief court hearing in western Pennsylvania. He has 14 days to challenge the bail decision. That’s with some intervention from owner Elon Musk. The account, which hasn’t posted since June, was briefly suspended by X. But after a user inquired about it in a post Monday, Musk responded “This happened without my knowledge. Looking into it.” The account was later reinstated. Other social media companies such as Meta have removed his accounts. According to X rules, the platform removes “any accounts maintained by individual perpetrators of terrorist, violent extremist, or mass violent attacks, as well as any accounts glorifying the perpetrator(s), or dedicated to sharing manifestos and/or third party links where related content is hosted.” Mangione is not accused of perpetrating a terrorist or mass attack — he has been charged with murder — and his account doesn’t appear to share any writings about the case. He shouted something that was partly unintelligible, but referred to an “insult to the intelligence of the American people.” He’s there for an arraignment on local charges stemming from his arrest Monday. He was dressed in an orange jumpsuit as officers led him from a vehicle into the courthouse. Local defense lawyer Thomas Dickey is expected to represent the 26-year-old at a Tuesday afternoon hearing at the Blair County Courthouse. Dickey declined comment before the hearing. Mangione could have the Pennsylvania charges read aloud to him and may be asked to enter a plea. They include possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. In New York, he was charged late Monday with murder in the death of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione likely was motivated by his anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain with corporate greed, said a a law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of the suspect’s hand-written notes and social media postings. He appeared to view the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as a symbolic takedown, asserting in his note that he is the “first to face it with such brutal honesty,” the bulletin said. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, the document said. A felony warrant filed in New York cites Altoona Officer Christy Wasser as saying she found the writings along with a semi-automatic pistol and an apparent silencer. The filing echoes earlier statements from NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny who said Mangione had a three-page, handwritten document that shows “some ill will toward corporate America.” Mangione is now charged in Pennsylvania with being a fugitive of justice. A customer at the McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where Mangione was arrested said one of his friends had commented beforehand that the man looked like the suspect wanted for the shooting in New York City. “It started out almost a little bit like a joke, my one friend thought he looked like the shooter,” said the customer, who declined to give his full name, on Tuesday. “It wasn’t really a joke, but we laughed about it,” he added. The warrant on murder and other charges is a step that could help expedite his extradition from Pennsylvania. In court papers made public Tuesday, a New York City police detective reiterated key findings in the investigation he said tied Mangione to the killing, including surveillance footage and a fake ID he used to check into a Manhattan hostel on Nov. 24. Police officers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, found that ID when they arrested Mangione on Monday. Mangione is being held without bail in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Late Monday, Manhattan prosecutors charged him with five counts, including murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument. Mangione doesn’t yet have a lawyer who can speak on his behalf, court officials said. Images of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald’s while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and ski cap. In another photo from a holding cell, he stood unsmiling with rumpled hair. Mangione’s cousin, Maryland lawmaker Nino Mangione, announced Tuesday morning that he’s postponing a fundraiser planned later this week at the Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore, which was purchased by the Mangione family in 1986. “Because of the nature of this terrible situation involving my Cousin I do not believe it is appropriate to hold my fundraising event scheduled for this Thursday at Hayfields,” Nino Mangione said in a social media post. “I want to thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and support. My family and I are heartbroken and ask that you remember the family of Mr. Thompson in your prayers. Thank you.” Officers used New York City’s muscular surveillance system . Investigators analyzed DNA samples, fingerprints and internet addresses. Police went door to door looking for witnesses. When an arrest came five days later , those sprawling investigative efforts shared credit with an alert civilian’s instincts. A customer at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania noticed another patron who resembled the man in the oblique security-camera photos New York police had publicized. He remains jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. By late Monday evening, prosecutors in Manhattan had added a charge of murder, according to an online court docket. It’s unclear whether Luigi Nicholas Mangione has an attorney who can comment on the allegations. Asked at Monday’s arraignment whether he needed a public defender, Mangione asked whether he could “answer that at a future date.”
Minnesotans with long-held connections to Jimmy Carter reflected Sunday on the legacy of the president, who died at the age of 100. Carter, the longest-lived American president, maintained a unique tie to the state after selecting Minnesota Sen. Walter ‘’Fritz’' Mondale as his running mate in 1976. The pair, who ran on the so-called ‘’Grits and Fritz’' ticket, was credited with elevating the vice president’s office into a more powerful position. Carter died Sunday in his hometown of Plains, Ga., more than a year after entering hospice care. He lived there with his wife, Rosalynn, who died at the age of 96 in November 2023. Salutes to the former president peppered social media Sunday. Gov. Tim Walz, who unsuccessfully ran for vice president this year on the Democratic ticket with Kamala Harris, posted on X on Sunday night. “President Carter defined what it means to be a servant leader,” Walz wrote. “He fought for our democracy, our climate, humanity, and civil rights around the world. We can find peace today knowing that he is reunited with the love his life, Rosalynn.” Sen. Amy Klobuchar said in a statement that Carter “earned a special place in the hearts of Minnesotans” when he added Mondale to his presidential ticket. The Democrat also praised Carter’s record. “Even during a period of economic uncertainty, he made key advancements in protecting the environment, expanding access to health care, bolstering Social Security, and strengthening America’s leadership on the world stage,” Klobuchar wrote. Skyrocketing inflation and oil prices marked Carter’s first and only term. An economic downturn, combined with the Iran hostage crisis, sunk his chances at re-election and overshadowed his foreign policy accomplishments, including brokering a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel and negotiating the return of the Panama Canal to Panama. But he inspired great admiration in the decades after his presidency, working with his wife Rosalynn to create the Carter Center, a nonprofit human rights organization, in 1982. His dedication to democracy and economic development earned him a Noble Peace Prize in 2002. Sen. Tina Smith shared a photo posing with the former president on X, writing she was “blessed to meet him several times.” The pictured moment, she added, captured her favorite encounter: Carter locked into an “energetic conversation” with her husband “about the virtues of fly fishing.” “Jimmy Carter personified moral leadership for our country & the world,” she wrote in the post. Rep. Tom Emmer, the Republican House majority whip, said in a post on X that he is grateful for Carter’s “decades of service — from his time in the military to public office and beyond — and pray for peace and comfort for the Carter family during this difficult time.” U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber, a Republican who represents northeastern Minnesota’s Eighth Congressional District, also memorialized Carter on X. “There is no denying that he was a compassionate man who dedicated his life to serving others,” he wrote. Minnesota ties Carter cemented his legacy as a philanthropist in the decades after leaving office. He and his wife Rosalynn were perhaps the country’s most public volunteers for Habitat for Humanity. They donned hardhats and tool belts well into their older years, drawing media attention to the nonprofit through their annual Carter Work Project, an all-hands-on-deck effort to construct homes in the U.S. and abroad. The project twice came to the Twin Cities. In September, volunteers constructed 30 homes on St. Paul’s East Side — the first phase of an ongoing affordable housing development . Carter, just days shy of 100 this fall, didn’t appear at the festivities. But in 2010, an 86-year-old Carter and his former running mate, Minnesotan Walter Mondale, pitched into a homebuilding project in North Minneapolis. “The initiative in this neighborhood will be an inspiration to people all over the nation,” Carter said at the time. The Associated Press contributed to this report.Every day millions of people share more intimate information with their accessories than they do with their spouse. Wearable technology — smartwatches, smart rings, fitness trackers and the like — monitors body-centric data such as your heart rate, steps taken and calories burned, and may record where you go along the way. Like Santa Claus, it knows when you are sleeping (and how well), it knows when you're awake, it knows when you've been idle or exercising, and it keeps track of all of it. People are also sharing sensitive health information on health and wellness apps, including online mental health and counseling programs. Some women use period tracker apps to map out their monthly cycle. These devices and services have excited consumers hoping for better insight into their health and lifestyle choices. But the lack of oversight into how body-centric data are used and shared with third parties has prompted concerns from privacy experts, who warn that the data could be sold or lost through data breaches, then used to raise insurance premiums, discriminate surreptitiously against applicants for jobs or housing, and even perform surveillance. The use of wearable technology and medical apps surged in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, but research released by Mozilla on Wednesday indicates that current laws offer little protection for consumers who are often unaware just how much of their health data are being collected and shared by companies. "I've been studying the intersections of emerging technologies, data-driven technologies, AI and human rights and social justice for the past 15 years, and since the pandemic I've noticed the industry has become hyper-focused on our bodies," said Mozilla Foundation technology fellow Júlia Keserű, who conducted the research. "That permeates into all kinds of areas of our lives and all kinds of domains within the tech industry." The report "From Skin to Screen: Bodily Integrity in the Digital Age" recommends that existing data protection laws be clarified to encompass all forms of bodily data. It also calls for expanding national health privacy laws to cover health-related information collected from health apps and fitness trackers and making it easier for users to opt out of body-centric data collections. Researchers have been raising alarms about health data privacy for years. Data collected by companies are often sold to data brokers or groups that buy, sell and trade data from the internet to create detailed consumer profiles. Body-centric data can include information such as the fingerprints used to unlock phones, face scans from facial recognition technology, and data from fitness and fertility trackers, mental health apps and digital medical records. One of the key reasons health information has value to companies — even when the person's name is not associated with it — is that advertisers can use the data to send targeted ads to groups of people based on certain details they share. The information contained in these consumer profiles is becoming so detailed, however, that when paired with other data sets that include location information, it could be possible to target specific individuals, Keserű said. Location data can "expose sophisticated insights about people's health status, through their visits to places like hospitals or abortions clinics," Mozilla's report said, adding that "companies like Google have been reported to keep such data even after promising to delete it." A 2023 report by Duke University revealed that data brokers were selling sensitive data on individuals' mental health conditions on the open market. While many brokers deleted personal identifiers, some provided names and addresses of individuals seeking mental health assistance, according to the report. In two public surveys conducted as part of the research, Keserű said, participants were outraged and felt exploited in scenarios where their health data were sold for a profit without their knowledge. "We need a new approach to our digital interactions that recognizes the fundamental rights of individuals to safeguard their bodily data, an issue that speaks directly to human autonomy and dignity," Keserű said. "As technology continues to advance, it is critical that our laws and practices evolve to meet the unique challenges of this era." Consumers often take part in these technologies without fully understanding the implications. Last month, Elon Musk suggested on X that users submit X-rays, PET scans, MRIs and other medical images to Grok, the platform's artificial intelligence chatbot, to seek diagnoses. The issue alarmed privacy experts, but many X users heeded Musk's call and submitted health information to the chatbot. While X's privacy policy says that the company will not sell user data to third parties, it does share some information with certain business partners. Gaps in existing laws have allowed the widespread sharing of biometric and other body-related data. Health information provided to hospitals, doctor's offices and medical insurance companies is protected from disclosure under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, known as HIPAA, which established federal standards protecting such information from release without the patient's consent. But health data collected by many wearable devices and health and wellness apps don't fall under HIPAA's umbrella, said Suzanne Bernstein, counsel at Electronic Privacy Information Center. "In the U.S. because we don't have a comprehensive federal privacy law ... it falls to the state level," she said. But not every state has weighed in on the issue. Washington, Nevada and Connecticut all recently passed laws to provide safeguards for consumer health data. Washington, D.C., in July introduced legislation that aimed to require tech companies to adhere to strengthened privacy provisions regarding the collection, sharing, use or sale of consumer health data. In California, the California Privacy Rights Act regulates how businesses can use certain types of sensitive information, including biometric information, and requires them to offer consumers the ability to opt out of disclosure of sensitive personal information. "This information being sold or shared with data brokers and other entities hypercharge the online profiling that we're so used to at this point, and the more sensitive the data, the more sophisticated the profiling can be," Bernstein said. "A lot of the sharing or selling with third parties is outside the scope of what a consumer would reasonably expect." Health information has become a prime target for hackers seeking to extort healthcare agencies and individuals after accessing sensitive patient data. Health-related cybersecurity breaches and ransom attacks increased more than 4,000% between 2009 and 2023, targeting the booming market of body-centric data, which is expected to exceed $500 billion by 2030, according to the report. "Nonconsensual data sharing is a big issue," Keserű said. "Even if it's biometric data or health data, a lot of the companies are just sharing that data without you knowing, and that is causing a lot of anxiety and questions."
It’s every young football player’s dream to score the game-winning touchdown in the state championship game. • Sign up for PennLive’s daily high school sports newsletter Troy running back Mason Smith lived out that fantasy Friday afternoon in the Trojans’ 25-24 win over Central Clarion in the PIAA 2A state championship. “It’s a surreal feeling,” Smith said. “My team behind me, that’s the only people I can thank.” Let’s set the scene. Clarion went on a long drive capped off by a 10-yard run from QB Jase Ferguson. With 6:27 remaining in the game, Troy stuck with what worked for them; running the football. Led by running back Brendan Gillilland, who had three scores up until this point, the Trojans methodically marched down the field taking precious minutes off the clock. Down at the Clarion 16-yard line with under two minutes remaining in the game, head coach Jim Smith dialed up what should’ve been a pitch pass. Clarion sniffed it out which led to Mason Smith taking matters into his own hands, becoming a Troy legend in the process.

TRC in a mess; public driven from pillar to post
PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — Newly married and sworn as a Naval officer, Jimmy Carter left his tiny hometown in 1946 hoping to climb the ranks and see the world. Less than a decade later, the death of his father and namesake, a merchant farmer and local politician who went by “Mr. Earl,” prompted the submariner and his wife, Rosalynn, to return to the rural life of Plains, Georgia, they thought they’d escaped. The lieutenant never would be an admiral. Instead, he became commander in chief. Years after his presidency ended in humbling defeat, he would add a Nobel Peace Prize, awarded not for his White House accomplishments but “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” The life of James Earl Carter Jr., the 39th and longest-lived U.S. president, ended Sunday at the age of 100 where it began: Plains, the town of 600 that fueled his political rise, welcomed him after his fall and sustained him during 40 years of service that redefined what it means to be a former president. With the stubborn confidence of an engineer and an optimism rooted in his Baptist faith, Carter described his motivations in politics and beyond in the same way: an almost missionary zeal to solve problems and improve lives. Carter was raised amid racism, abject poverty and hard rural living — realities that shaped both his deliberate politics and emphasis on human rights. “He always felt a responsibility to help people,” said Jill Stuckey, a longtime friend of Carter's in Plains. “And when he couldn’t make change wherever he was, he decided he had to go higher.” Carter's path, a mix of happenstance and calculation , pitted moral imperatives against political pragmatism; and it defied typical labels of American politics, especially caricatures of one-term presidents as failures. “We shouldn’t judge presidents by how popular they are in their day. That's a very narrow way of assessing them," Carter biographer Jonathan Alter told the Associated Press. “We should judge them by how they changed the country and the world for the better. On that score, Jimmy Carter is not in the first rank of American presidents, but he stands up quite well.” Later in life, Carter conceded that many Americans, even those too young to remember his tenure, judged him ineffective for failing to contain inflation or interest rates, end the energy crisis or quickly bring home American hostages in Iran. He gained admirers instead for his work at The Carter Center — advocating globally for public health, human rights and democracy since 1982 — and the decades he and Rosalynn wore hardhats and swung hammers with Habitat for Humanity. Yet the common view that he was better after the Oval Office than in it annoyed Carter, and his allies relished him living long enough to see historians reassess his presidency. “He doesn’t quite fit in today’s terms” of a left-right, red-blue scoreboard, said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who visited the former president multiple times during his own White House bid. At various points in his political career, Carter labeled himself “progressive” or “conservative” — sometimes both at once. His most ambitious health care bill failed — perhaps one of his biggest legislative disappointments — because it didn’t go far enough to suit liberals. Republicans, especially after his 1980 defeat, cast him as a left-wing cartoon. It would be easiest to classify Carter as a centrist, Buttigieg said, “but there’s also something radical about the depth of his commitment to looking after those who are left out of society and out of the economy.” Indeed, Carter’s legacy is stitched with complexities, contradictions and evolutions — personal and political. The self-styled peacemaker was a war-trained Naval Academy graduate who promised Democratic challenger Ted Kennedy that he’d “kick his ass.” But he campaigned with a call to treat everyone with “respect and compassion and with love.” Carter vowed to restore America’s virtue after the shame of Vietnam and Watergate, and his technocratic, good-government approach didn't suit Republicans who tagged government itself as the problem. It also sometimes put Carter at odds with fellow Democrats. The result still was a notable legislative record, with wins on the environment, education, and mental health care. He dramatically expanded federally protected lands, began deregulating air travel, railroads and trucking, and he put human rights at the center of U.S. foreign policy. As a fiscal hawk, Carter added a relative pittance to the national debt, unlike successors from both parties. Carter nonetheless struggled to make his achievements resonate with the electorate he charmed in 1976. Quoting Bob Dylan and grinning enthusiastically, he had promised voters he would “never tell a lie.” Once in Washington, though, he led like a joyless engineer, insisting his ideas would become reality and he'd be rewarded politically if only he could convince enough people with facts and logic. This served him well at Camp David, where he brokered peace between Israel’s Menachem Begin and Epypt’s Anwar Sadat, an experience that later sparked the idea of The Carter Center in Atlanta. Carter's tenacity helped the center grow to a global force that monitored elections across five continents, enabled his freelance diplomacy and sent public health experts across the developing world. The center’s wins were personal for Carter, who hoped to outlive the last Guinea worm parasite, and nearly did. As president, though, the approach fell short when he urged consumers beleaguered by energy costs to turn down their thermostats. Or when he tried to be the nation’s cheerleader, beseeching Americans to overcome a collective “crisis of confidence.” Republican Ronald Reagan exploited Carter's lecturing tone with a belittling quip in their lone 1980 debate. “There you go again,” the former Hollywood actor said in response to a wonky answer from the sitting president. “The Great Communicator” outpaced Carter in all but six states. Carter later suggested he “tried to do too much, too soon” and mused that he was incompatible with Washington culture: media figures, lobbyists and Georgetown social elites who looked down on the Georgians and their inner circle as “country come to town.” Carter carefully navigated divides on race and class on his way to the Oval Office. Born Oct. 1, 1924 , Carter was raised in the mostly Black community of Archery, just outside Plains, by a progressive mother and white supremacist father. Their home had no running water or electricity but the future president still grew up with the relative advantages of a locally prominent, land-owning family in a system of Jim Crow segregation. He wrote of President Franklin Roosevelt’s towering presence and his family’s Democratic Party roots, but his father soured on FDR, and Jimmy Carter never campaigned or governed as a New Deal liberal. He offered himself as a small-town peanut farmer with an understated style, carrying his own luggage, bunking with supporters during his first presidential campaign and always using his nickname. And he began his political career in a whites-only Democratic Party. As private citizens, he and Rosalynn supported integration as early as the 1950s and believed it inevitable. Carter refused to join the White Citizens Council in Plains and spoke out in his Baptist church against denying Black people access to worship services. “This is not my house; this is not your house,” he said in a churchwide meeting, reminding fellow parishioners their sanctuary belonged to God. Yet as the appointed chairman of Sumter County schools he never pushed to desegregate, thinking it impractical after the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board decision. And while presidential candidate Carter would hail the 1965 Voting Rights Act, signed by fellow Democrat Lyndon Johnson when Carter was a state senator, there is no record of Carter publicly supporting it at the time. Carter overcame a ballot-stuffing opponent to win his legislative seat, then lost the 1966 governor's race to an arch-segregationist. He won four years later by avoiding explicit mentions of race and campaigning to the right of his rival, who he mocked as “Cufflinks Carl” — the insult of an ascendant politician who never saw himself as part the establishment. Carter’s rural and small-town coalition in 1970 would match any victorious Republican electoral map in 2024. Once elected, though, Carter shocked his white conservative supporters — and landed on the cover of Time magazine — by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Before making the jump to Washington, Carter befriended the family of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., whom he’d never sought out as he eyed the governor’s office. Carter lamented his foot-dragging on school integration as a “mistake.” But he also met, conspicuously, with Alabama's segregationist Gov. George Wallace to accept his primary rival's endorsement ahead of the 1976 Democratic convention. “He very shrewdly took advantage of his own Southerness,” said Amber Roessner, a University of Tennessee professor and expert on Carter’s campaigns. A coalition of Black voters and white moderate Democrats ultimately made Carter the last Democratic presidential nominee to sweep the Deep South. Then, just as he did in Georgia, he used his power in office to appoint more non-whites than all his predecessors had, combined. He once acknowledged “the secret shame” of white Americans who didn’t fight segregation. But he also told Alter that doing more would have sacrificed his political viability – and thus everything he accomplished in office and after. King's daughter, Bernice King, described Carter as wisely “strategic” in winning higher offices to enact change. “He was a leader of conscience,” she said in an interview. Rosalynn Carter, who died on Nov. 19 at the age of 96, was identified by both husband and wife as the “more political” of the pair; she sat in on Cabinet meetings and urged him to postpone certain priorities, like pressing the Senate to relinquish control of the Panama Canal. “Let that go until the second term,” she would sometimes say. The president, recalled her former aide Kathy Cade, retorted that he was “going to do what’s right” even if “it might cut short the time I have.” Rosalynn held firm, Cade said: “She’d remind him you have to win to govern.” Carter also was the first president to appoint multiple women as Cabinet officers. Yet by his own telling, his career sprouted from chauvinism in the Carters' early marriage: He did not consult Rosalynn when deciding to move back to Plains in 1953 or before launching his state Senate bid a decade later. Many years later, he called it “inconceivable” that he didn’t confer with the woman he described as his “full partner,” at home, in government and at The Carter Center. “We developed a partnership when we were working in the farm supply business, and it continued when Jimmy got involved in politics,” Rosalynn Carter told AP in 2021. So deep was their trust that when Carter remained tethered to the White House in 1980 as 52 Americans were held hostage in Tehran, it was Rosalynn who campaigned on her husband’s behalf. “I just loved it,” she said, despite the bitterness of defeat. Fair or not, the label of a disastrous presidency had leading Democrats keep their distance, at least publicly, for many years, but Carter managed to remain relevant, writing books and weighing in on societal challenges. He lamented widening wealth gaps and the influence of money in politics. He voted for democratic socialist Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in 2016, and later declared that America had devolved from fully functioning democracy to “oligarchy.” Yet looking ahead to 2020, with Sanders running again, Carter warned Democrats not to “move to a very liberal program,” lest they help re-elect President Donald Trump. Carter scolded the Republican for his serial lies and threats to democracy, and chided the U.S. establishment for misunderstanding Trump’s populist appeal. He delighted in yearly convocations with Emory University freshmen, often asking them to guess how much he’d raised in his two general election campaigns. “Zero,” he’d gesture with a smile, explaining the public financing system candidates now avoid so they can raise billions. Carter still remained quite practical in partnering with wealthy corporations and foundations to advance Carter Center programs. Carter recognized that economic woes and the Iran crisis doomed his presidency, but offered no apologies for appointing Paul Volcker as the Federal Reserve chairman whose interest rate hikes would not curb inflation until Reagan's presidency. He was proud of getting all the hostages home without starting a shooting war, even though Tehran would not free them until Reagan's Inauguration Day. “Carter didn’t look at it” as a failure, Alter emphasized. “He said, ‘They came home safely.’ And that’s what he wanted.” Well into their 90s, the Carters greeted visitors at Plains’ Maranatha Baptist Church, where he taught Sunday School and where he will have his last funeral before being buried on family property alongside Rosalynn . Carter, who made the congregation’s collection plates in his woodworking shop, still garnered headlines there, calling for women’s rights within religious institutions, many of which, he said, “subjugate” women in church and society. Carter was not one to dwell on regrets. “I am at peace with the accomplishments, regret the unrealized goals and utilize my former political position to enhance everything we do,” he wrote around his 90th birthday. The politician who had supposedly hated Washington politics also enjoyed hosting Democratic presidential contenders as public pilgrimages to Plains became advantageous again. Carter sat with Buttigieg for the final time March 1, 2020, hours before the Indiana mayor ended his campaign and endorsed eventual winner Joe Biden. “He asked me how I thought the campaign was going,” Buttigieg said, recalling that Carter flashed his signature grin and nodded along as the young candidate, born a year after Carter left office, “put the best face” on the walloping he endured the day before in South Carolina. Never breaking his smile, the 95-year-old host fired back, “I think you ought to drop out.” “So matter of fact,” Buttigieg said with a laugh. “It was somehow encouraging.” Carter had lived enough, won plenty and lost enough to take the long view. “He talked a lot about coming from nowhere,” Buttigieg said, not just to attain the presidency but to leverage “all of the instruments you have in life” and “make the world more peaceful.” In his farewell address as president, Carter said as much to the country that had embraced and rejected him. “The struggle for human rights overrides all differences of color, nation or language,” he declared. “Those who hunger for freedom, who thirst for human dignity and who suffer for the sake of justice — they are the patriots of this cause.” Carter pledged to remain engaged with and for them as he returned “home to the South where I was born and raised,” home to Plains, where that young lieutenant had indeed become “a fellow citizen of the world.” —- Bill Barrow, based in Atlanta, has covered national politics including multiple presidential campaigns for the AP since 2012.Century-old series resumes as South Carolina hosts Presbyterian
No, UnitedHealthcare didn’t post a job listing for a new CEO the day after Brian Thompson’s deathNEW ORLEANS (AP) — A scruffy little fugitive is on the lam again in New Orleans, gaining fame as he outwits a tenacious band of citizens armed with night-vision binoculars, nets and a tranquilizer rifle. Scrim, a 17-pound mutt that's mostly terrier, has become a folk hero, inspiring tattoos, T-shirts and even a ballad as he eludes capture from the posse of volunteers. And like any antihero, Scrim has a backstory: Rescued from semi-feral life at a trailer park and adopted from a shelter, the dog broke loose in April and scurried around the city until he was cornered in October and brought to a new home. Weeks later, he'd had enough. Scrim leaped out of a second-story window, a desperate act recorded in a now-viral video. Since then, despite a stream of daily sightings, he's roamed free. The dog’s fans include Myra and Steve Foster, who wrote “Ode to Scrim” to the tune of Ricky Nelson’s 1961 hit, “I’m a Travelin’ Man.” Leading the recapture effort is Michelle Cheramie, a 55-year-old former information technology professional. She lost everything — home, car, possessions — in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and in the aftermath, found her calling rescuing pets. “I was like, ‘This is what I should be doing,’” Cheramie said. “I was born to rescue.” She launched Zeus’ Rescues, a nonprofit shelter that now averages 600 cat and dog adoptions a year and offers free pet food to anyone who needs it. She helped Scrim find the home he first escaped from. It was Cheramie's window Scrim leaped from in November. She's resumed her relentless mission since then, posting flyers on telephone poles and logging social media updates on his reported whereabouts. She's invested thousands of dollars on wildlife cameras, thermal sensors and other gear. She took a course offered by the San Diego Zoo on the finer points of tranquilizing animals. And she's developed a network of volunteers — the kind of neighbors who are willing to grid-search a city at 3 a.m. People like writer David W. Brown, who manages a crowd-sourced Google Map of all known Scrim sightings. He says the search has galvanized residents from all walks of life to come together. As they search for Scrim, they hand out supplies to people in need. “Being a member of the community is seeing problems and doing what you can to make life a little better for the people around here and the animals around you,” Brown said. And neighbors like Tammy Murray, who had to close her furniture store and lost her father to Parkinson's disease. This search, she says, got her mojo back. “Literally, for months, I’ve done nothing but hunt this dog,” said Murray, 53. “I feel like Wile E. Coyote on a daily basis with him.” Murray drives the Zeus' Rescues' van towards reported Scrim sightings. She also handles a tactical net launcher, which looks like an oversized flashlight and once misfired, shattering the van's window as Scrim sped away. After realizing Scrim had come to recognize the sound of the van's diesel engine, Murray switched to a Vespa scooter, for stealth. Near-misses have been tantalizing. The search party spotted Scrim napping beneath an elevated house, and wrapped construction netting around the perimeter, but an over-eager volunteer broke ranks and dashed forward, leaving an opening Scrim slipped through. Scrim's repeated escapades have prompted near-daily local media coverage and a devoted online following. Cheramie can relate. “We’re all running from something or to something. He's doing that too,” she said. Cheramie's team dreams of placing the pooch in a safe and loving environment. But a social media chorus growing under the hashtag #FreeScrim has other ideas — they say the runaway should be allowed a life of self-determination. The animal rescue volunteers consider that misguided. “The streets of New Orleans are not the place for a dog to be free,” Cheramie said. “It’s too dangerous.” Scrim was a mess when Cheramie briefly recaptured him in October, with matted fur, missing teeth and a tattered ear. His trembling body was scraped and bruised, and punctured by multiple projectiles. A vet removed one, but decided against operating to take out a possible bullet. The dog initially appeared content indoors, sitting in Cheramie's lap or napping beside her bed. Then while she was out one day, Scrim chewed through a mesh screen, dropped 13 feet to the ground and squeezed through a gap in the fence, trotting away. Murray said Cheramie's four cats probably spooked him. “I wholeheartedly believe the gangster-ass cats were messing with him,” Murray said. Cheramie thinks they may have gotten territorial. Devastated but undeterred, the pair is reassessing where Scrim might fit best — maybe a secure animal sanctuary with big outdoor spaces where other dogs can keep him company. Somewhere, Murray says, “where he can just breathe and be.” Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

The 100-year-old 39th President of the United States married his wife, Rosalynn Smith, who died in November 2023 at 96, nearly eight decades ago - in 1946 - and they went on to welcome three sons and one daughter together. Each of Jimmy's kids have had numerous kids of their own, who have also had numerous kids of their own - resulting in him having a total of 29 descendants. While some of some of the former President's kids and grandkids have followed in Jimmy's footsteps and launched their own successful careers in politics, others tried and failed. Jimmy Carter, the longest living president in US history, leaves behind an enormous family Jimmy (seen with his family in the late '70s) and his wife, Rosalynn, welcomed three sons and a daughter. Each of their kids have had numerous kids of their own, who also had numerous kids His first-born son, Jack - who was kicked out of the Navy after he was caught smoking weed with his friends when he was younger - ran for the Senate in Nevada in 2006, but ultimately lost. Jimmy's second-eldest son, Chip, worked for the Democratic National Committee and now serves as the president of a nonprofit organization founded by his parents, while his third-born, Jeff, started a computer mapping company. As for Jimmy's fourth child, his only daughter, Amy - who practically stole everyone's hearts when her dad was elected President when she was just nine years old - she grew up to be a fierce activist who has attended many protests against the US's foreign policy, which even resulted in her being arrested on one occasion. As the world gears up to grapple with the loss of the beloved former President, FEMAIL has rounded up everything you need to know about the 26 family members he will be remembered by. He is seen with some of his family in 1976 Some of them have also received attention for scandalous behavior - like Chip, who once admitted to 'lighting up' with singer Willie Nelson on the roof of the White House. Jeff also came into the spotlight when his son tragically died of a heart attack at age 28 back in 2015 - a loss that left the entire family devastated. The politician's organization confirmed via Twitter in February that Carter had decided, after a series of hospital stays, to receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. He spent his remaining months at home with his devoted wife of 77 years - until she passed on November 19 - and loving family by his side. As the world grapples with the loss of the beloved former president, FEMAIL has rounded up everything you need to know about the 29 family members he will be remembered by. From his Senator and award-winning lawyer grandson to his researcher grandson who helped uncover controversial videos of Mitt Romney during the 2012 Presidential race, here's everything you need to know about Jimmy's kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. Jimmy and Rosalynn's first son, John 'Jack' Carter, was kicked out of the Navy for smoking weed and unsuccessfully ran for the United States' Senate in Nevada Jimmy and Rosalynn's oldest son, John 'Jack' William Carter (seen in 2006) graduated from Georgia Tech, and earned a law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1975 Jimmy and Rosalynn welcomed their first child together, a baby boy whom they named John 'Jack' William Carter, on July 3, 1947. The couple moved around a lot during the early years of Jack's life - thanks to Jimmy's work in the Navy - but they eventually settled in a small town in Georgia, called Plains, where they ran a peanut farm. It's been said that Jack, now 77, helped tend to the farm as a kid, and that his dad would pay him 10 cents per hour for his hard work. Soon after they moved to Georgia, Jimmy began his political career - he was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1953, became a Georgia state Senator in 1963, followed by the Georgia governor in 1971, and the President of the United States in 1977. But as his father's career flourished, Jack began to struggle. He switched from college to college, attending Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University, and Georgia Southwestern State University, before he ultimately left school altogether to join the Navy in April 1968. But in 1970, Jimmy's first-born was kicked out with a 'less than honorable' discharge after he and some friends were caught smoking marijuana at a Naval Reactors Facility in Idaho. But the then-23-year-old quickly turned things around. He decided to return to school, and received his bachelor's degree in Nuclear Physics from Georgia Tech, followed by a law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law in 1975. After leaving the Navy, he also found love, marrying a woman named Juliette 'Judy' Langford - the daughter of Georgia state Senator James Beverly Langford. Together, they welcomed two children - a son named Jason James Carter, born in 1975, and a daughter named Sarah Rosemary Carter, born in 1978. In 2006, Jack ran for a seat in the United States Senate - however, he ultimately lost to Republican John Ensign. He is seen with his dad in 2006 After finishing his schooling, Jack starting practicing law for his wife's father, and helped his own dad during his Presidential campaign in 1976. He and Judy then decided to relocate to Chicago, where they lived together with their two kids for many years while he worked various jobs - including for the Chicago Board of Trade and for Citibank. The pair ultimately opted to go their separate ways, and the details of their divorce are not known. He then got re-married to a woman named Elizabeth Brasfield in 1992. She had two children from a previous marriage - a son named John Chuldenko and a daughter named Sarah Reynolds - who became Jack's step-kids. The family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2002, and in 2006, Jack ran for a seat in the United States Senate - however, he ultimately lost to Republican John Ensign. Since then, he's lived a relatively quiet life out of the spotlight. Jack and Judy's son is an award-winning lawyer and former Georgia Senator, while their daughter has lived a much quieter life Jack's son with his first wife, Judy Langford, named Jason Carter, was a successful lawyer. He also served on Georgia's State Senate from 2010 to 2015. He is seen in 2014 Jack and Judy's son, Jason, now 49, has also followed in his grandfather's footsteps by becoming a politician. After graduating from Duke University with a double major in philosophy and political science, he served in the Peace Corps in South Africa. He then got a law degree from University of Georgia School of Law in 2004, before he became a partner at the law firm Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore. Jason made many strides during his time as a lawyer, earning the Stuart Eizenstat Young Lawyer Award for his work defending voters' rights, and even representing the National Football League Players Association. He is also a successful author, releasing a book entitled Power Lines: Two Years on South Africa's Borders in 2002 - which was derived from diaries he wrote during his time in the Peace Corps. In 2010, he was elected into Georgia's State Senate, which he served on for five years, and in 2014, he became the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia - however, he ultimately lost the election to Nathan Deal. Jack and Judy's daughter, Sarah, now 44, has lived a much quieter life, and has done her best to stay out of the public eye. She is seen with her grandpa as a baby As for his love life, he married a former journalist and high school teacher named Kate, and together, they have welcomed two sons, named Henry, in 2006, and Thomas, in 2008. Jack and Judy's daughter, Sarah, now 46, has lived a much quieter life, and has done her best to stay out of the public eye. She graduated from Duke University in 2000, and went on to receive her Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of California, San Francisco in 2007, but it's unclear what she does for work. She is married to a man named Brendan Keith Murphy, and their daughter, Josephine Beverly, was born in 2009.

In 1995, she teamed up with her grandfather to illustrate his book of poems, entitled Always a Reckoning and Other Poems. She is married to a fellow artist named Stephen Reynolds, and together, they have welcomed two daughters, whose names are not known. As for her brother, John - Jack's step-son - he works as a writer, director, and producer in Los Angeles. He too is a graduate from Cleveland Institute of Art, and majored in graphic design. Jack's step-son, named John Chuldenko, is a writer, director, and producer in Los Angeles. He is best known for directing and writing the movie Nesting John currently lives in LA and has two daughters, who haven't been shown to the public, and his relationship status is unknown He is best known for directing and writing the movie Nesting, and he also helped pen multiple episodes for the shows Playtime! and Backseat Drivers. 'John has been coming up with big ideas and bringing them to life for over thirty years,' his bio reads. 'He creates television shows and directs feature films. He writes for magazines and speaks at universities. 'He’s created content for military weapons platforms and pizza restaurants. And he also writes and directs award-winning commercials, promos, and the occasional music video.' He announced last year that he had started a project focused on updating the White House's secret record collection. He told NPR that he discovered the collection thanks to his uncle Jeff Carter, who told him a story that involved him 'sneaking off' to listen to the records with some friends after a 'fancy' dinner party at the White House. After getting approval from then-First Lady Michelle Obama, John flew to Washington, D.C. to view the records in 2010, and soon realized that there was nothing in the collection from later than the 1980s. As of May 2022 when the article was published, he was in the midst of working with the Recording Industry Association of America to update the collection. John currently lives in LA and has two daughters, who haven't been shown to the public, and his relationship status is unknown. Jimmy and Rosalynn's second son, James 'Chip' Carter III, famously smoked pot on the roof of the White House with singer Willie Nelson during his father's Presidency Jimmy and Rosalynn's second son, James 'Chip' Carter III, (seen in 2016) is the president of the nonprofit organization founded by his parents, Friendship Force Jimmy and Rosalynn welcomed their second child, a son named James 'Chip' Earl Carter III, now 73, on April 12, 1950. Like his brother, he too worked in his parents peanut factory as a kid. After graduating from high school, he was elected onto the Plains city council, before he went on to work for the Democratic National Committee. He then became the president of the nonprofit organization founded by his parents, Friendship Force, which aims to 'improve intercultural relations, cultural diplomacy, friendship, and intercultural competence via home-stays,' according to its website. Chip has been married three times. His first wife was a woman named Caron Griffin, whom he wed in 1973. She gave birth to their son, James Earl Carter IV, in February 1977. They divorced three years later, in 1980. He then got re-married to a woman named Ginger Hodges, and together, they welcomed a daughter, named Margaret Alicia Carter, in September 1987. He tied the knot with his third and final wife, Becky Payne, in 2001, whom he is still with now. They live together in Decatur, Georgia. Chip is mostly known for famously smoking pot with on the roof of the White House with singer Willie Nelson. Chip is mostly known for famously smoking pot with on the roof of the White House with singer Willie Nelson. He is seen in 1980 Willie first spoke about it in his 1988 autobiography, writing, 'Sitting on the roof of the White House in Washington, D.C. late last night with a beer in one hand and a fat Austin Torpedo in the other. 'My companion on the roof was pointing out to me the sights and layout of how the streets run in Washington. 'I let the weed cover me with a pleasing cloud... I guess the roof of the White House is the safest place to smoke dope.' While the musician didn't reveal who his 'companion' was at the time, Chip later admitted in an interview that he was indeed the one who smoked with Willie. 'We just kept going up ’til we got to the roof, where we leaned against the flagpole at the top of the place and lit one up,' he said during the 2020 documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President. 'If you know Washington, the White House is the hub of the spokes - the way it was designed. 'Most of the avenues run into the White House. You could sit up and could see all the traffic coming right at you. It’s a nice place up there.' Chip's son with his first wife helped leak videos of Mitt Romney making controversial comments during his Presidential campaign against Barack Obama, while his daughter with his second wife stays out of the spotlight Chip's son with his first wife, Caron Griffin, named James Carter IV, is an opposition researcher and started the company Carter Research, LLC He helped leak videos of Mitt Romney making controversial comments during his Presidential campaign against Barack Obama. He is seen with his wife Chip's son with his first wife is an opposition researcher and started the company Carter Research, LLC. Per his bio, now-46-year-old James 'has worked on numerous US political campaigns and has participated in election observations with The Carter Center in countries like Nigeria and Indonesia, among others.' He is married to a woman named Sally (seen), but it doesn't appear that they have any children together He also previously served as an independent consultant for the government of Panama, writing grants for the Ministry of Social Development. Based in Atlanta, the Georgia State University graduate was reportedly the one to leak the now-viral video of Mitt Romney stating that 47 per cent of Americans 'believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it' during his Presidential campaign against Barack Obama in 2012. 'I’ve been searching for clips on Republicans for a long time, almost every day,' he told New York magazine at the time. 'I just do it for fun.' He is married to a woman named Sally, but it doesn't appear that they have any children together. As for Chip's daughter with his second wife, she does her best to stay out of the spotlight. Margaret, 36, is reportedly married to a man named Harold Edward Carter, and they have one daughter together named Alicia Carter, who was born in September 2009. Jimmy and Rosalynn's third son, Donnel 'Jeff' Carter, loved inviting his celebrity friends over to the White House and helped host the likes of Bob Dylan and Pope John Paul II Jimmy and Rosalynn's third son, Donnel 'Jeff' Carter (seen with his wife) launched a company called Computer Mapping Consultants, Inc after graduating from college The former president and his wife, Rosalynn, welcomed their third child, another boy named Donnel Jeffrey 'Jeff' Carter, on August 18, 1952. Jeff, now 71, graduated from George Washington University in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in geography, specializing in computer cartography. During his time at the school, Time magazine reported that he grew close to a teacher - a former intelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency named Robert Mercready - and after he graduated, they went on to form the company Computer Mapping Consultants, Inc together, which became a consultant for World Bank. He married a woman he met at college named Annette Davis in 1975, and together, they had three sons - Joshua Jeffrey Carter, born in 1984, Jeremy Davis Carter, born in 1987, and James Carlton Carter, born in 1991. The couple lived with Jeff's father, Jimmy, during much of his Presidency, and they were reportedly very social, racking up tons of celebrity friends, like Bob Dylan and Pope John Paul II, whom they'd host at the White House - before they eventually moved out and got their own place in Georgia. The family faced tragedy in 2015, when their son Jeremy died of a heart attack suddenly at age 28. More heartbreak came in 2021, when Annette sadly passed away at age 68. Her family confirmed the news to People but did not specify the cause of death. 'Annette was a homemaker, and she was devoted to raising her three boys,' her son Josh wrote in the obituary. 'She will be remembered by her friends and family for her easy smile, her fun-loving sense of humor, and her caring nature. 'She loved to laugh at a particularly bad white elephant gift or a ridiculous pair of earrings. 'She always saved stories or comics that she thought would make her sons smile. Annette was a prolific storyteller and often had her listeners in gales of laughter by the end of one of her tales. 'She loved her family and her friends with all her heart, and they loved her back with all of theirs.' Jeff and Annette's middle son died of a heart attack at age 28, while their oldest is a podcaster and their youngest tries to avoid all media attention Jeff and his wife, Annette's first-born son, named Joshua, now 39, is a graduate from Georgia Tech, podcaster, blogger, and woodwork enthusiast. He is seen with his grandparents Joshua is married a woman named Sarah Carter - whom he started dating at just 11 years old - and they share two sons, named Charles and Jonathan Jeff and Annette's first-born son, Joshua, now 39, is a graduate from Georgia Tech, podcaster, blogger, woodwork enthusiast, and devoted husband and father. And it turns out, his love of furniture-making is something he shares with his grandfather, Jimmy. The former President has been very open about his hobby, and would even auction off pieces that he made for charity during his time in the Oval Office. 'Every year when I was at his house for Christmas, I would always go into his shop from when I was eight until well through college,' Joshua once recalled. 'I would work on the projects that he was working on. I think I worked on every single piece that he made for the auction.' Joshua is married a woman named Sarah Carter - whom he started dating at just 11 years old - and they share two sons, named Charles and Jonathan. Jeff and Annette's second son, Jeremy, led a relatively private life up until his tragic death in 2015. Jeff and Annette's second son, Jeremy, tragically died of a heart attack suddenly in 2015, at age 28. He is seen (left) with Joshua and his wife Jimmy later called Jeremy 'a very special child' and 'a wonderful young man whom they all loved very much' during a service 'I am so raw. I feel everything and nothing at once, at the same time,' Joshua wrote on his blog the day after Jeremy's passing. 'My dad called me sometime around 10:10 last night and told me that something was wrong, that they were at the hospital with Jeremy and it was not good. 'I got in the car and got there as quick as I could. Jeremy was not responsive. His temperature was low. His organs were not working. He was bleeding. He was yellow.' Joshua said the heart attack happened while he was home with their mother in the kitchen, and that his 'dear mom' had to 'give him CPR until the paramedics came.' He died later that night after suffering from a second heart attack at the hospital. 'It’s still surreal. I am waiting to wake up or for somebody to tell me that it was a nightmare or a horrible case of mistaken identity or really for somebody that knows all the facts to just tell me that the facts are not true,' Joshua added. 'Just this one time can the facts not be true. I want the universe to lie to me. Just this once. It’s hard to comprehend how much the world has changed.' Jimmy later called Jeremy 'a very special child' and 'a wonderful young man whom they all loved very much' during a service. Jeff and Annette's third son, Jamie, 31, married his wife, Anna Carter, in October 2021. The two have stayed mostly out of the public eye, and they share one daughter, named Rayna Rose Carter, who was born in March 2019.

Elders Pamela and Grouse Barnes bestowed the names citxw ki snmymyaʔtn, meaning “home for school,” for the building, and sn̓ʔull̓stn, meaning “a place to gather,” for the common area. The KLO Road facility highlights Indigenous culture with features like a feather design by Syilx artist Clint George and story poles by artist Les Louis. “We are continually looking for ways to enhance access to education for Indigenous students and for people from all backgrounds and cultures,” James Coble, dean of students, said. “This is truly a heartwarming addition to our campus housing building, having these names, and having this art in here.” Brent Basil, a first-year Human Services student living in the building, shared his appreciation. “Even though I am not Okanagan, I do feel welcomed by the Okanagan people,” he said. “That means the world to me as I finish up my first semester.” OC President Neil Fassina emphasized the building’s connection to the traditional territory of the Syilx people and the Westbank First Nation. “It features amazing art, and now fortunately features traditional names,” he added. “It's a beautiful testament to the lands we are on and a fitting place that this is authentically a place that students actually call home.” Rhea Dupuis, OC’s director of Indigenous relations and reconciliation noted that the college is committed to honoring the Nations throughout the Okanagan. “Walking together with Indigenous communities toward Truth and Reconciliation is vital as we work to improve access to education for Indigenous learners,” she said. Elder Grouse Barnes, a Syilx Knowledge Keeper, did his best to give the audience a Sylix language lesson, including how to pronounce the building names. “Not bad, there’s a test later,” he joked. The 216-bed student housing facility, which opened in September 2024, provides students with spaces for studying, socializing, and connecting. Amenities include common areas, laundry facilities, and bike storage.This picturesque seaside village in regional Victoria lures food lovers for its annual Wild Harvest Seafood Festival and, year round, delights those looking for a stay that combines the bush, fishing and relaxation. The cruise Take a cruise on the historic M.V. Loch-Ard. To really appreciate the beauty and size of the surrounding lakes get on board the MV Loch-Ard, which has been beetling around the Victorian waterways since it was first built, from Huon pine and kauri, in 1910. It is a snugly romantic vessel and during a sunset cruise you can watch the changing colours of the skies, see white sea eagles dive for an evening meal and hear some great local stories from Captain Dale Winward. See mallacootacruises.com The historic stay Karbeethong Lodge was built in 1922 and offers a slice of nostalgia. Karbeethong Lodge has the distinction of being favourably compared to heaven by A Sentimental Bloke author C.J. Dennis when he stayed here in 1932. It is hard to argue with him as you sit on the balcony of this 1920s-built seaside guesthouse with a local Gippsland drop in hand, looking across the grassy slope of a yard to the tranquil East Gippsland waters. Owners Graeme and Jenny Mitchell keep things warm and inviting with a retro collection of furnishings that populate the communal spaces of the huge living room and the help-yourself kitchen. Rooms are quirky and often have more beds than you need, but this is a very special place from which to explore the region. See karbeethonglodge.com.au The local dinner Lucy’s Cantonese fare is legendary in Mallacoota. Lucy’s, on the main street of Mallacoota, is an order-at-the-counter, family-working-all-stations affair that is packed on a weekend with visitors and locals sharing tables full of simple but utterly delicious dishes in serves that often require a take-away container. The go-tos here are the fresh, handmade noodles teamed with locally caught abalone and homegrown herbs, generously stuffed prawn har gau and rolled-up newspaper-sized spring rolls. The museum Mallacoota’s Bunker Museum was once part of a group of World War II-era military installations. The Bunker Museum was originally part of a chain of military installations that protected this exposed easterly part of the Australian coast during World War II. Now visitors descend the stairs into the rainbow-roofed bunker for a taste of military and local history with displays of “trench art” made from shell casings, the story of the sinking of British ship the SS Cumberland and a full-scale replica of home life in the 1940s complete with a mannequin looking like she has come off the set of Dad’s Army . See mallacootabunker.com.au The market Located near The Muddie, the mud brick pavilion at the centre of the Lions Park in town, this local market is full of the freshest local produce, local arts and crafts and community groups. It is a regularly changing roster of stallholders but keep an eye out for The Travelling Squid with its signature salt-and-pepper calamari and “prawn twists”. See mallacootamarkets.com The festival The Wild Harvest Seafood Festival was created to celebrate some of the less-loved creatures of the sea, such as the abalone and sea urchin that Mallacoota is known for. Started in 2022 (after some delays), the “whelk-om” dinner might have local oysters cooked over fire by Noel Butler from First Nations social enterprise Black Duck Foods, and pesce crudo using locally caught fish by guest chefs such as Stefano de Pieri. You might catch a live band, learn a sea shanty or enter a sandcastle making competition. It is an intimate introduction to this special part of Victoria. See wildharvestseafoodfestival.com The creative hub The Mallacoota Art Space, inside the Croajingolong Centre, often hosts an artist-in-residence. Tucked in behind the local radio station, inside the Croajingolong Centre, is the Mallacoota Art Space that is not only hung with works from local artists but, more often that not, will have an artist-in-residence producing works who is up for a chat about the local area and the wild coast that provides much of the inspiration for the local makers and creators. See visitmallacoota.com.au The nature walk Croajingalong National Park is great for bathing, walking or just taking in the view. It is a short drive to Genoa Falls in the Croajingolong National Park, just outside of Mallacoota, where the water runs down a long, flat slope packed full of water dragons that dart away into the rocks as soon as they see you. It is a great spot for bathing or simply wandering through the walking trails. If you have extra time the walk to Genoa Peak gives you a killer view of the surrounding bush and waterways. See visitmallacoota.com.au One more thing ... Abalone is now being processed locally. Mallacoota is the abalone capital of Victoria and the Australian Wild Abalone plant recently opened after the previous operation was devastated by the 2019 Gippsland bushfires. In the past, most of the popular aquatic meat was sent straight to Asia, but there is a renewed interest in using the fresh meat at home, so keep an eye out for it on local menus and at markets.
