Rye Brook, N.Y.: In 2017, as a high school freshman, I watched flavored e-cigarettes sweep through my school, addict my friends and classmates and ruin many students’ academics and health. In 2019 and 2020, I led the youth charge for an e-cigarette flavor ban in New York, a policy that ended the sale of these beguiling addictive products in the state once and for all. However, our state’s tobacco regulation has a gaping loophole: it fails to fully ban menthol tobacco products.
Kirksville close to hiring next chief of police
Kirksville officials are moving forward to hire a new police chief within the next few weeks.
City Manager Mari Macomber did preliminary Zoom interviews with about 16 candidates over the last few weeks. Now three finalists will soon visit Kirksville for additional interviews. Macomber said she hopes to have someone hired by mid-May.
The position is open following the unexpected death of Steve Farnsworth last October. Farnsworth began in that role in 2019 after the retirement of Jim Hughes.
Justin Jones, Farnsworth’s deputy chief, has served as the interim chief since Farnsworth’s passing. Macomber said Jones didn’t apply for the police chief position and will remain as the deputy chief once someone is hired. Macomber said the three final candidates are all external people with many years of previous law enforcement experience.
Rehoboth Beach Delaware 19971United States
The search for qualified employees by local businesses to fill summer vacancies is real, which is why the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce recently hosted a job fair for the first time in a number of years.
“It was requested,” said Abbie Kaiser, chamber membership representative and event coordinator.
Chamber staff were on hand greeting potential employees at the door of the Rehoboth Mall, where the April 16 event was held. They said there were 70 businesses looking for employees and they could have had close to 100 if COVID-related spacing wasn’t required. Businesses of all types were on hand – restaurants, medical, manual labor, law enforcement, hotels and cleaning services.
