A woman in North Dakota who published her life story at 106 years old is now celebrating her 107th birthday.

Helma Lein celebrated her birthday on Tuesday.

She said she’s determined to preserve her memories of a life well-lived.

“I was born March 28, 1916,” Lein told KFYR.

Lien recorded the biggest moments of her life in her book, “Just the ‘Write’ Age.”

She published the book last year as an idea from her daughter.

“I wasn’t in favor of it at first, but I’m glad now that we did it,” she said.

The words on the pages take Lein back to her childhood.

The 107-year-old is now busy writing more stories, focusing on her travels. She and her husband traveled to places like Hawaii, Spain, Portugal and locations in Africa.

“I’m a writer and I spend more time writing stories and poems,” she said.

But Lein said she hasn’t always been a writer.

“I started writing when I was 90,” Lein said.

The first over-the-counter Naloxone product has been FDA-approved

On Tuesday, March 29 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved of Narcan, 4 milligram (mg) naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray for over-the-counter (OTC), nonprescription use.

This is the first time a naloxone product has been approved for over-the-counter use, non-prescription use.

“Making narcan available, much easier, and over- the-counter, I believe will save lives," said Vernon County Sheriff Roy Torgerson.

Narcan is used as a lifesaving medication in instances of opioid drug overdose.

Mayo Clinic addiction specialist Dr. Holly Geyer describes the three steps that should be taken when administering the nasal spray to someone else.

Indiana police looking for missing teen who may be in 'extreme danger'

Indiana police are looking for a teenager who went missing two days ago and is believed to be in "extreme danger."

Scottie Morris, 14, was last seen on Thursday around 8:30 p.m., according to police in his hometown of Eaton, located about 75 miles northeast of Indianapolis. He was reported missing that night, local police said.

Indiana State Police declared a silver alert -- a statewide alert used in cases of missing children and missing endangered adults -- Friday night in the disappearance of the teen.

"He is believed to be in extreme danger and may require medical assistance," state police said.

After local police called off the search for the night on Friday amid frigid temperatures, a search party reconvened Saturday morning to continue looking for Morris.

Hundreds of people -- including crews from area police and fire departments, leaders from the teen's school district and classmates -- turned out to help find the teen, ABC Indianapolis affiliate WRTV reported.

Medicaid will end for millions of Americans in the coming months.

Medicaid coverage will end for millions of Americans in the coming months, and it will push many into unfamiliar territory: the health insurance marketplace.

States will start cutting people from the government-funded plans when they no longer qualify based on income, a process that has been paused since shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

The timing of these cuts will vary. But all states have insurance markets where people who lose Medicaid can buy new coverage with help from subsidies. Some states will even connect shoppers with a potential new plan.

Shopping for affordable insurance that covers regular doctors and prescriptions can be daunting, especially in marketplaces that offer dozens of choices and subsidies to help pay for them. Experts say it helps to start this search with a plan. Here’s a deeper look at the process.

A long-time downtown La Crosse tradition continues into its 18th year.

The St. Paddy's Day .01k brought hundreds of people to Brothers Bar on Pearl Street on Friday night.

Racers, dressed up in their finest greens, ran or walked the full 32.8 feet.

This was all to raise money for the Hunger Task Force.

Over the years, such a short race has had a big impact.

"Over the course of 18 years, we've raised $100,00," said Jean Taylor, operations manager for 95.7 The Rock. "I'd say that's a lot, just for silly little St. Patrick's Day fun."

Ford recalls 1.5M vehicles to fix brake hoses, wiper arms

Ford is recalling more than 1.5 million vehicles in the U.S. in two actions to fix leaky brake hoses and windshield wiper arms that can break.

The largest of two recalls covers nearly 1.3 million 2013 through 2018 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKX midsize cars. The company says in documents posted Friday by safety regulators that the front brake hoses can rupture and leak brake fluid. That would increase brake pedal travel and make stopping distances longer.

Dealers will replace the hoses. Ford will mail owner notification letters starting April 17. They'll get a second letter once parts are available for the fix.

Ford says it’s aware of one crash with no mention of injuries due to the problem.

The second recall covers more than 222,000 F-150 pickups from 2021. The windshield wiper arms can break.

Dealers will replace the arms if needed. Owners will be notified starting March 27.

For 58 years, “Mr. Peanuts” has made difference on the land his family once farmed

Long-time custodian at Park Elementary School, Rodney “Mr. Peanuts” Esser is one of ten finalists in the 2023 Cintas Custodian of the Year contest, but for Esser, the job is about more than cleaning up.

For 58 years Mr. Peanuts has been cleaning the halls of the school and making friends along the way.

“Other than maintain the building, the grounds, and all that, it goes way beyond that. It’s being a friend and being helpful to not only staff but to students, and that’s something I’m pretty proud of,” Esser said.

Esser said he didn’t even apply to the position; his family used to farm on the land where the school was built and the owners would not sell the land to the district, unless Esser went too.

“Just like that I have to change jobs and so I ended up… this is where I ended up, but I still consider it home you know. Once a farmer always a farmer.”

Third grader Vaughn Stopczynski came to the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District from another district, and the transition was tough, until he met Mr. Peanuts.

“Well, when I first came to Park School I didn’t know a lot about this, but now I know a lot about Park School and like a lot of friends now and a lot of people here, probably more people than my old school,” Stopczynski said. “And sometimes I help him with the cafeteria and stuff.”

“Just thought it was a cool machine. Or probably because I wanted to help Mr. Peanuts.”

At 82-years-old, Esser has no plans on leaving Park Elementary.

“Many people have asked this question- when you think you’ll retire? That’s God’s plan, I have no idea. I’m just gonna keep doing what I’m doing and working for the people that I’m working for. Now I’m working for the best of the best. I say that from my heart. And so that I’m very proud of.”

Do You Identify Yourself As An Alien? Psychologists Reveal Why Here!

 

If you believe you are an alien, you are not alone - thousands of people identify as 'starseeds' who came to Earth from another planet to save humanity.

The term 'starseed' was introduced in the 1976 book 'Gods of Aquarius,' but it has seen millions of search queries and more than one million views of the hashtag on social media in recent months.

Writing for The Conversation, three English psychologists have embarked on a mission to understand why people are now identifying as aliens - and it seems to come down to personalities and mental disorders.

These individuals typically feel a lack of belonging, need a sense of purpose, love fantasy and are sometimes schizophrenic.

What to know about UN report outlining Russian war crimes

 

Beyond the loss of soldiers, the abuse of civilians caught in the middle of the war have stockpiled.

The United Nations (UN) said last month that at least 8,000 non-combatants had been killed in the war — a figure that it says is most likely significantly higher.

A new UN report released this week said both Russia and Ukraine had committed war crimes.

Here is what you need to know about the new UN report.

Russia has widely used indiscriminate attacks and bombings

The independent international committee that submitted the report to the UN on the humanitarian crises in Ukraine found that the Russian military has consistently committed indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks on civilian populations.

Do You Know Which City In Wisconsin Is The Most Miserable To Live In? Well Read This Incredible Story To Hear The Answer!

I thought Wisconsin had the most fun but it turns out the opposite may be true! A recent study says that one of the most miserable cities in the entire country is in Wisconsin. This time around, Minnesota didn't make the cut.

This study was put together using U.S. Census Bureau data, which means it uses real data from the census to look at factors like crime, commute time, income and the like. They did this to discover which cities are not thriving like the rest of the country.

To my surprise, Milwaukee is one of them. How does this study figure? According to their reasoning, the city is too industrial and also a "mess" by a bunch of different standards. The study also cites the crime rate, which is high, with the exception of a few parts of the city.

I have never been to Milwaukee so I cannot confirm or deny that it is what this study refers to as an "industrial mess" but apparently, you can't deny fact: the city has a high poverty and unemployment rate.

Another city filled with an industrial mess, Milwaukee is not pretty. Additionally, the crime rate is pretty high. While some areas remain safer than others, some more dangerous spots of the city are responsible for a crime rate of 1,597 per 100,000 people.

The city is not helped by a poverty rate of 28.4-percent and an unemployment rate of 4.6-percent. On the upside, the police force may be slowly beating crime.

If you are reading this and happen to be from Milwaukee, don't fear. A bunch of other famous cities were also named some of the most miserable and they are thriving just fine! Baltimore is on the list, along with other famous cities like Lansing, Michigan and North Miami. Most of the cities on the list are located in California.

Every city and state has their pros and their cons. Sadly, Milwaukee was also recently named the ugliest town in Wisconsin. On the bright side, three restaurants located in the city made the cut on Yelp's list of 100 Places To Eat in the country, which counts for something!

Pesticides in produce: 2023's list of most and least contaminated foods

Blueberries, beloved by nutritionists for their anti-inflammatory properties, have joined fiber-rich green beans in this year's Dirty Dozen of nonorganic produce with the most pesticides, according to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit environmental health organization.

In the 2023 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce, researchers analyzed testing data on 46,569 samples of 46 fruits and vegetables conducted by the US Department of Agriculture. Each year, a rotating list of produce is tested by USDA staffers who wash, peel or scrub fruits and vegetables as consumers would before the food is examined for 251 different pesticides.

As in 2022, strawberries and spinach continued to hold the top two spots on the Dirty Dozen, followed by three greens — kale, collard and mustard. Listed next were peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, grapes, bell and hot peppers, and cherries. Blueberries and green beans were 11th and 12th on the list.

A total of 210 pesticides were found on the 12 foods, the report said. Kale, collard and mustard greens contained the largest number of different pesticides — 103 types — followed by hot and bell peppers at 101.

"Some of the USDA's tests show traces of pesticides long since banned by the Environmental Protection Agency. Much stricter federal regulation and oversight of these chemicals is needed," the report said.

"Pesticides are toxic by design," said Jane Houlihan, former senior vice president of research for EWG. She was not involved in the report.

"They are intended to harm living organisms, and this inherent toxicity has implications for children's health, including potential risk for hormone dysfunction, cancer, and harm to the developing brain and nervous system," said Houlihan, who is now research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, an organization dedicated to reducing babies' exposures to neurotoxic chemicals.

NTSB investigating close call between planes at Reagan National Airport

The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating a close call between two planes last week at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia, the latest in a string of similar such incidents on U.S. airport runways this year.

On March 7, at around 8:30 a.m. EST, a Republic Airways Flight 4736 — operating as American Eagle Flight No. 4736 and bound for Raleigh, North Carolina — taxied across a runway that a United Airlines Flight No. 2003, an Airbus A319 bound for Chicago, had just been cleared to take off from, the NTSB told CBS News.

"They did did not cross the runway at the time, but it came close," NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy told CBS News Wednesday.

Homendy told CBS News that it appeared both planes were given instructions by different air traffic controllers that could have put them on a collision course, before the pilots of United Flight No. 2003 were told to abort their take off.

Buffalo Wild Wings sued over boneless wings: "false and deceptive marketing," man claims

The popular fast food chain seemed to turn to Twitter to respond to a class-action lawsuit filed by a Chicago man on Friday, alleging that their boneless chicken wings constitute "false and deceptive marketing" because they are not actually a deboned chicken wing.

NASA's Webb telescope captures fleeting moment of a star before going supernova

NASA's Webb Space Telescope has captured the rare and brief phase of a star in the constellation Sagittarius right before dying and going supernova.

The image, released Tuesday at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, shows the Wolf-Rayet star in unprecedented detail, casting a shimmering purple halo as it ejects gas. As the gas moves away from the star, it cools, and cosmic dust forms and glows in the infrared light detectable by Webb, according to NASA. 

"Massive stars race through their lifecycles, and only some of them go through a brief Wolf-Rayet phase before going supernova, making Webb's detailed observations of this rare phase valuable to astronomers," the space agency said in a statement.

Mom asks strangers on TikTok to play her daughter’s sheet music, inspiring a beautiful symphony

A mom in Pennsylvania found sheet music her 10-year-old daughter wrote and shared it on TikTok, and now the internet is making beautiful music together.

Mimi Wallace's daughter Olive loves playing the violin and the clarinet at school, and writes music in her spare time. Last week, she was practicing a new song she hoped to upload to her fantasy-themed blog, writing down the notes as she played.

The next morning, Wallace found her daughter's sheet music on the kitchen counter.

Mimi Wallace's daughter Olive's original sheet music is making beautiful music online.

I come from a family of music teachers and I can read music but I don't have perfect pitch," Wallace tells TODAY.com. "I wanted to know what Olive's music sounded like, so I asked TikTok."

In Wallace's video, now with more than 4 million views, she asked, "So my 10-year-old daughter wrote this. Could somebody play this? I need to know — I need to know if it's any good or if it makes any sense."

TikTok musicians began playing Olive's music in beautiful stitches.

One music teacher performed Olive's song on the violin and the piano, split-screening her performances.

This is so fun — I swear that I see a couple sharps here indicating a key signature so I assumed it's in D Major," she said in her video. "Mine is going to sound a little different. I hope she likes it!"

Reduced SNAP Benefits....

The Federal Government ended pandemic-era payments on March 1 for families on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - or SNAP. 

The cuts impact nearly 30 million Americans. On average, each household is losing almost $100. 

Locally, as people have less in their wallets for groceries, they'll turn to food shelves. 

WAFER Food Pantry has seen a steady increase in people seeking assistance since last summer and now they expect even more requests. 

"With the federal benefits being reduced to pre-COVID levels, I imagine that we're going to start seeing more people that are in need of food assistance," WAFER Executive Director Erin Waldhart said. "One of the things that wasn't in play when those were enacted was the inflation that we've been seeing at the grocery store."

Eli Lilly caps insulin at $35 a month

Over 37 million Americans live with diabetes. Roughly eight million of them need insulin to live. That essential medication can cost more than $1,000 a month, until now. 

We all need food and water to survive. For diabetics like Michelle Caley – insulin is just as important.

“Makes me feel like I have more energy, it makes me feel like I rest better at night," said Caley.

Insulin is a hormone bodies create. It turns food into energy, but for people with diabetes, their body either doesn’t create enough insulin or simply can’t make it.

“It affects my whole life, my sleep, energy, focus," said Caley. 

The cost of insulin isn’t cheap. For Caley, the price tag is $2800 a month.

“It was $2800 a month out of pocket. Well, what do I do? Pay the house payment or groceries or my meds," she said. 

Marc Ertz, a pharmacist at Gundersen Health System says there’s a reason behind it.

“There’s three companies right now that have a market monopoly," he said. 

Eli Lilly, one of the largest drug manufacturers, is now capping the cost of vial insulin at $35 a month. Ertz says this will help make medicine more affordable.

“Most people that are diabetic spend seven times more than the average patient," he said. 

Ertz says while the cap is a step in the right direction, it could have been done sooner.

“It’s a little late. Look at how great we are for lowering the price, but this should have been done 10-15 years ago," he said. 

Caley says she hopes other drug manufacturers follow Eli Lilly’s footsteps.

“It’s not my choice and I can’t help that a portion of my body doesn’t work right," she said.
