LINCOLN, Neb. -- A sheriff's department official says Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler have died in a car crash in Wisconsin after coaching at a kicking clinic. Louisiana State's kicker was injured in the crash.

Waukesha County Lt. Thom Moerman said speed was likely a factor in the single-vehicle crash that happened around 11:45 p.m. Saturday night.

The 24-year-old Sadler, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was driving. He and 22-year-old Foltz, of Greeley, Nebraska, both died. LSU kicker, 21-year-old Colby Delahoussaye, was also a passenger and was injured in the crash.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln said Sunday the team will skip this week's planned Big Ten media days in Chicago because of Foltz's death. Officials with Michigan State didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Massive 8-alarm Fire destroys Sanger, California baby food producer 'Initiative Foods'

Firefighters battle a massive blaze at Initiative Foods in Sanger (KFSN)

Sunday, July 24, 2016 09:46AM

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The blaze broke out around 2:30 a.m. and multiple agencies were called in to assist as it kept growing.

An employee on scene said about 80 to 90 percent of the business is gone. The fire started near the railroad tracks, spread to the factory area and moved into the warehouse. There's also a second building south of the factory that's affected, but the main concern has been keeping it away from the office building.

-----
Statement to employees from John Ypma
"Team members, we have suffered a terrible loss as the plant and warehouses are gone. Fortunately no one was injured and our brave fire fighters did a terrific job of keeping our neighbors safe. On Monday we will meet at the site and then move to our facility down on Industrial way. Please join me for an all employee meeting at 9:00 so that we can talk about our future. While a setback, we will continue and build better than ever." - John Ypma

Massive fire destroys Sanger baby food plant


Fire crews mop up early morning fire at baby food company in Sanger on Sunday, July 24, 2016. sflores@fresnobee.com

 SANGER, CALIFORNIA



A fire early Sunday morning destroyed a block-long complex of buildings where Initiative Foods produces its specialty baby food products in central Sanger.

Fire crews from nearly a dozen fire agencies responded to battle the fire, which burned and smoldered for hours. Fire crews expected to remain on scene until Monday morning.

Company officials said employees had finished their last shift of the week shortly before the fire erupted before 3 a.m. The plant employs about 100 people, and company officials said workers would gather at another company location in Sanger on Monday morning to discuss what happens next for the company.

“Pretty much the property has been destroyed,” said John Mulligan, Sanger’s public works director. The damage is “pretty significant.”

The Sanger Fire Department received word of the fire around 3 a.m. at Initiative Foods on 1117 K St., near Academy and Annadale avenues, Sanger Fire Chief Greg Tarascou said. Firefighters called for assistance after they arrived to find a considerable amount of flames at the plant.

Seventy-five fire crews from 11 different agencies, including Fresno, Clovis and Fresno County Fire responded to the blaze, Tarascou said.

The forward progress of the fire was stopped after 80 percent of the building was involved in flames, Tarascou said. Firefighters were in a defensive posture against blaze late Sunday morning as they continue to put out massive fires inside the building.

Tarascou expects firefighters to remain at the scene through Sunday night and into Monday as they continue to fight blaze.

Tarascou estimated that the buildings at the site encompassed around 200,000 square feet of space. There were no injuries to employees, but fire crews faced several challenges, including a loss of water pressure when power to a well pump lost its electrical connection due to the fire, and summer heat.

Sanger residents stopped by with extra drinking water, and Sequoia Chevrolet, a block from the fire, opened its doors to give firefighters a breather, the chief said.


Initiative Foods makes Nature’s Promise baby foods and the Organic store brand seen at Sprouts and Safeway/Von’s stores.

James Ypma, production manager and safety coordinator for Initiative Foods, said the fire started minutes after employees had just left the plant after finishing their final shift of the week.

Ypma said approximately 100 employees worked at the plant and the company plans to hold a meeting Monday morning at its facility near North Avenue and Industrial Way to discuss its next steps.

Ypma also added that the company has initiated its business continuity plan. He isn’t sure how the fire will affect its clients.

“We’re going to take it one day at a time,” Ypma said. “As we build toward a brighter future.”

Ypma said no employees have been injured in the blaze.

Ypma commended firefighters and paramedics for their efforts. He said he received offers of support from numerous community members.

Initiative Foods owner John Ypma, in an email to employees, said the plant and the warehouses “are gone,” according to a report on the Herald’s Facebook page.

Mulligan, the Sanger public works director, received word of the massive blaze around 4 a.m. after firefighters were hindered by water pressure loss from a nearby well after power was cut to it due to downed power lines.

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. was notified of the downed lines and arrived minutes later to restore power to the well. Firefighters were able to continue their battle against the blaze without further issue.

As fire crews continue to wrestle the blaze, the impact to the company and the city would be big because of the approximately hundreds of employees that work at the plant.

The public works director said he has kept in touch with the company owner on the fire as he returns from New York.

Mulligan stayed with fire crews throughout the morning and witnessed the damage caused by the blaze

A one block radius around the plant has been closed due to the blaze, including Academy Avenue, as fire crews continue to put out the inferno.

As the battle over the fire is expected to continue for quite some time, city public works crews have been sent to help firefighters as they breach walls and pump excess water from the area, Mulligan said.

Coast Guard rescues 3 from sinking vessel near Catalina Island

Coast Guard rescues 3 from sinking vessel near Catalina Island
Jul 24th, 2016

LOS ANGELES — The Coast Guard rescued three boaters from their vessel after it began taking on water Saturday near Catalina Island.

Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach received a call from a 32-foot pleasure craft reporting that it was disabled and out of gas with three individuals aboard. The source also reported that they did not know their location but had left from Long Beach and were heading to Avalon. Initial efforts to obtain the vessel’s GPS location through the boaters’ personal cell phone yielded no results.

When the vessel reported they were taking on water, the Coast Guard immediately launched a 45-foot Response Boat —Medium crew from Coast Guard Station Los Angeles, a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Forward Operating Base Point Mugu, and diverted the Coast Guard Cutter Blacktip, a 87-foot patrol boat homeported in Channel Islands Harbor.

The helicopter crew was first on scene and located the vessel five miles east of Isthmus taking on water. The rescue swimmer aboard the helicopter was lowered to assist the boaters in the safe transfer to the Coast Guard 45-foot response boat.

The boaters were transported to Coast Guard Station Los Angeles where EMS was waiting. No major injuries were reported. The boaters reported to have life jackets but no marine-band radio, no flares, no life raft and no GPS aboard.

The Coast Guard would like to remind mariners of the importance to always:

• Wear life jackets while on the water.
• Always have a working marine-band radio on board.
• Carry marine flares on board the vessel.
• Ensure bilge pumps are operational and vessels are secure for heavy winds and rain.
• Stay Informed – The public should be aware of weather conditions and monitor progress through local television, radio and internet. Check the current and expected weather and water conditions before heading out, and be aware that weather conditions can quickly change.

File a float plan with friends, family members and local marinas before heading out. The list should include the number of passengers aboard the vessel, vessel’s destination and expected time of return.

NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — A fire swept through an apartment complex Sunday afternoon, killing two residents and injuring another, police said.

North Plainfield police Chief William Parenti said an elderly man and woman who lived in the same unit died as a result of the blaze.

Another resident, an elderly man, was rescued by Officer Jordan Rogers and taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries, Parenti said.



2 killed in North Plainfield fire, police say

Eight units were deemed "inhabitable," Parenti said. Red Cross was on its way to provide food and shelter for the residents living in those units.

Residents in the complex reported seeing flames as early as 11 a.m. By 1 p.m., the flames appeared to be extinguished but crews were still dousing the two-story building with water.

Dozens of neighbors stood around the building, located on Highway 22, taking photos with their cell phones.

Joy Maye, who's lived in the complex for more than 40 years, said she saw smoke billowing above trees from her bedroom window.

"It scared the heck out of me," she said. "I've never seen anything like this."

Resident Iris Comune said the fire has him second guessing his living situation.

"Let's just say I'm looking for a new place tomorrow," she said. "I just don't trust being here anymore." The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.

HARVEYS LAKE ELECTROCUTION AND DROWNING: OSHA DISTURBED WITH ELECTRIC CODE VIOLATIONS

OSHA Investigating Harveys Lake Drowning
Posted 5:33 pm, July 22, 2016, by Matt Petrillo


HARVEYS LAKE, PA -- Federal officials are trying to figure out how a man who was working on a boathouse by Harveys Lake was shocked and then drowned.

Luzerne County officials said Dakota Watkins, 24, was working to fix an electrical problem on the boathouse Thursday when he was shocked. He plunged into the lake and drowned.

William Streater has a boathouse near the one Watkins was working on.

"It's just a shame, a young man like that? It's too bad" Streater said.

Emergency crews were called to the lakeside home just after 5 p.m. Thursday. When crews arrived, they found Watkins' body in the lake. Now officials from OSHA are investigating possible work-related violations.

"OSHA was very disturbed by what they found today at the scene," Harveys Lake Police Chief Charles Musial said.

What they found included some electrical equipment--like part of a jet ski lift in the water--still running. Investigators are trying to determine who left it that way.

"Electrical work to the whole structure was not done properly," Musial added.

Harveys Lake police say Watkins had told neighbors to stay away from the area because of a possible electrical problem. He tried fixing it, but it was too late.

"OSHA will go forward with this matter and they do whatever they need to bring justice to this family," said Musial.

At this time, police say there is no more work allowed on that boathouse until new permits are applied for. OSHA says this investigation is in the very early stages and it does not know how long it could take to complete.

66,000 Gallons of Crude Oil Spilled Into North Saskatchewan River from Husky Energy Pipeline

CP | By The Canadian Press

Posted: 07/22/2016 1:32 pm EDT Updated: 07/23/2016 1:59 pm EDT




NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. - Attempts to stop a pipeline oil spill from flowing down a major river in Saskatchewan failed Friday and new steps were being taken to try to contain the slick.

A government official said booms placed on the North Saskatchewan River by Husky Energy to contain the spill were ineffective because high water levels lifted the oil over the barriers.

The official, who did not want to be named, said Husky Energy (TSX:HSE) and the government were placing booms further downstream and increasing skimming to try to remove oil from the water.

Between 200,000 and 250,000 litres of crude oil and other material leaked into the river on Thursday from a breach in Husky's pipeline near Maidstone, Sask. The company shut down the line and put out the booms about 40 kilometres upstream from North Battleford.

North Battleford saw signs of the spill as early as Friday morning and shut down its water intake plant.

"Husky reported to water security that they ... saw a sheen and so everything gets shut right down," said Stewart Schafer, the city's director of operations.

"How much, how big, I couldn't tell you."

Schafer said the city has a backup supply of water in its reservoirs and water tower. It also has a ground-water treatment plant.

"We have about three days and then we have to start up the other plant. By that time we are hoping that whatever contaminants hit the river are flushed down."

The reservoirs and water tower had already been filled to capacity as a precautionary measure.

North Battleford Mayor Ian Hamilton asked residents to slow the flow from their taps to help ensure an adequate supply. The city issued a news release telling people that car washes were being shut down, laundromats closed and citizens were being asked not to water their lawns or wash their cars.

The city and Husky also were building a berm around the water intake at the water treatment plant to prevent oily water from getting in.

Precautions for residents urged

Prince Albert issued a statement late Friday afternoon urging its residents to fill bathtubs and water jugs with water over the next 24 hours. Oil from the Husky spill is expected to reach the city by Sunday, the city said, adding it will likely be shutting down its water treatment plant's intake from the river.

Rob Peabody, Husky's chief operating officer, said some of the spilled oil was on land and was being recovered.

"What we do know is the leak was not under the river, as far as we can see," he said. "The leak was kind of in a location near the river."

The pipeline runs from Husky's heavy oil operations to its facilities in Lloydminster and carries oil mixed with a lighter hydrocarbon, called a diluent, that's added to ease the flow.
"This is a rare event. We don't have incidents of this magnitude very often."

Wes Kotyk of the department's environmental protection branch said the spill, which he said was equivalent to two rail cars, was of a "higher magnitude" than Saskatchewan is used to.

"This is a rare event. We don't have incidents of this magnitude very often," said Kotyk, who added it's been a number of years since there's been an oil spill into water.

Kotyk said fish and wildlife staff were developing a plan in case wildlife was affected.

Peabody said it could be several weeks before a cause for the spill is known. He didn't know the age of the pipeline, but said it would have been regularly inspected under Husky's management plan.

Premiers reiterate pipeline support

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said no one wants to see an oil spill occur, but the latest leak doesn't change his support for pipelines.

"The facts remain that if we're not moving by a pipeline, it's going to move ... (by rail). We know that rail is actually more susceptible to spills and spills are often more intense," Wall said from Whitehorse, Yukon, where he was attending a premiers meeting.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, who is pushing for a pipeline to get her province's oil to ocean ports so it can get to international markets, echoed Wall's assessment.

"Even with this spill it remains the case that absolutely the safest way to transport oil and gas is by way of pipeline," she said.

"Had a spill occurred on rail there might well be injuries involved. In everything you do there are risks, but I would suggest overall the risks (of pipelines) are low."

Saskatchewan city shuts down water plant after Husky pipeline spills thousands of litres of oil into river upstream


The Canadian Press | July 22, 2016 2:18 PM ET


Postmedia NetworkOil from a Husky Energy pipeline spilled into the North Saskatchewan River on Thursday morning upstream from Maidstone, Sask.



NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. — The Saskatchewan city of North Battleford shut down its water intake plant Friday because of a major pipeline oil spill.

Stewart Schafer, the city’s director of operations, said an oil slick was detected downstream from the city on the North Saskatchewan River.


How much, how big, I couldn’t tell you

“This morning they saw the sheen downstream from us,” Schafer said Friday. “Husky reported to water security that they … saw a sheen and so everything gets shut right down.

“How much, how big, I couldn’t tell you.”

Husky Energy has said between 200,000 and 250,000 litres of crude oil and other material leaked into the river on Thursday from its pipeline near Maidstone, Sask.

North Battleford Mayor Ian Hamilton was asking residents to slow the flow from their taps to help ensure an adequate supply.

Husky was trying to contain the spill using booms across the river, about 40 kilometres upstream from North Battleford. Chief operations officer Rob Peabody said some of the spilled oil was on land and was being recovered.


“What we do know is the leak was not under the river, as far as we can see,” he told a conference call Friday morning. “The leak was kind of in a location near the river.”

The pipeline runs from Husky’s heavy oil operations to its facilities in Lloydminster and carries oil mixed with a lighter hydrocarbon, called a diluent, that’s added to ease the flow.

Ralph Bock of the Environment Ministry said Thursday the Water Security Agency would take samples from the river past the boom to check for any hydrocarbons.

Peabody said it could be several weeks before a cause for the spill is known. He didn’t know the age of the pipeline, but said it would have been regularly inspected under Husky’s management plan.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said no one wants to see an oil spill occur, but the latest leak doesn’t change his support for pipelines.

Wall also said moving oil by rail also takes a greater toll on the environment by creating more greenhouse gas emissions.

Husky president Asim Ghosh was asked about any potential negative public reaction to pipeline spills.
“To be honest with you, I distinguish between a media reaction and a public reaction,” he said. “But as far as we are concerned, we just focus on getting on with the job, you know. If we’ve got a pipeline spill, we address the pipeline spill.

“We ensure we’ve got procedures in place and we ensure we make the procedures even more robust from each learning experience.”

 Graham Construction has called in grief counsellors in the aftermath of a workplace accident that killed a 21-year-old man in Saskatoon Thursday.

A man working at the construction site of the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan died Thursday in the late-afternoon after a steel construction lift fell on him.

“On behalf of everybody in the Saskatoon Health Region, I first want to extend my condolences to this young man’s family and friends for their loss,” says Dan Florizone, Saskatoon Health Region CEO.

“I also want to express my deep sympathy to his coworkers and all those who work on this site each day. We would like recognize those who responded to this tragedy, including our team in emergency, for their care. There are hundreds of people working to make this hospital a reality and this news has been devastating for everyone involved. This is a sad time for all of us.”

Occupational Health and Safety is on site conducting an investigation Friday. The construction of the Children’s Hospital has stopped today while the investigation takes place.

Graham Construction, the general contractor for the project, released a statement offering condolences to the family of the man Thursday evening. The man was working for sub-contractor Banff Constructors Ltd.

“This is a real tragedy,” said Colin Anderson, a vice-president with Graham. “Our hearts are with his family, friends, and all those impacted by this terrible incident. We offer our deepest condolences and grief counsellors are available for those who may need help coping. This has also impacted his co-workers and all of us at Graham.”

Officials with the Saskatoon Fire Department said the call came in at 3:38 p.m. Details were limited on Thursday evening, but Battalion Chief Brent Hart said MD Ambulance staff conducted CPR on the man. Saskatoon police said the man was pronounced dead at hospital.

Saskatoon police later confirmed the 21-year-old was a Saskatoon resident. His identity was not released.

Hart said the fire department dispatched its heavy rescue unit and a fire pumper to the scene, as it was first believed the man was trapped under the lift.

“When we arrived MD (Ambulance) was already on scene and they were doing CPR on this patient,” he said. “Our personnel helped do CPR on the patient.”
