HUGHESTOWN, Pa. Children in Luzerne County got a first-hand look at all different types of vehicles on Sunday.
Hughestown Borough hosted a Touch-A-Truck event at Robert Yaple Memorial Park along James Court.
Kids hopped in the driver s seat of recycling trucks, ambulances, and construction vehicles. I liked the Scuba truck. The ambulance. It was cool to look inside, and there were the beds, and I ve never looked inside an ambulance before, said Owen and Ella Caine of Duryea. Just seeing the community involvement, having them come out, Covid really hindered a lot of that, and to be able to come out here and see all the different types of trucks and just have the community together again outside the home, it really helps, said Gilbert Diaz, K9 Officer.

It has been over a month since 21-year-old white American Robert Aaron Long shot dead eight people at three massage parlours in Cherokee County and Atlanta city on March 16, 2021. Six of them were women of Asian descent but despite Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms stating that the mass shooting should be seen as a hate crime, Long has not been charged with this yet.
The Atlanta incident brought world attention to the xenophobic attacks Asians in America have been facing, both verbal and physical, ever since the coronavirus pandemic started. Studies have indicated that attacks on Asians were significantly higher in 2020 than in 2019, aggravated by the repeated use of “China virus” and “Kung Flu” by former US President Donald Trump and his right-wing supporters.
