VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - The Virginia Beach Oceanfront is busy on this Fourth of July weekend. Lifeguards are warning beach-goers to stay safe. Weâve already pulled out about nineteen or twenty people so far and weâve seen upwards of thirty or forty loss children that weâve reunited with their parents. A couple weâre still holding right now, Tom Gill said, the President of the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Services.
Gill is warning parents to keep a close eye on their children.
Our government as well as Dubai oil money have funded much of Emirates Team New Zealand, who in 2015 essentially pushed Dean Barker to walk the plank. It would rankle should he wrest the cup as the American Magic helmsman when the Americans seemingly couldn t unearth one of their own. The racing appears fickle. One mistake and the other AC75 sails away over the horizon giving us time to dash out and mow the lawns. How weird it is in a nautical sport that when one boat bellyflops and impales itself on the water, it has no more dash than a cast ewe.

UPDATE 5PM: Up to 30 dead barramundi, catfish and eels have been found at the Gooseponds less than a week after the previous mass kill.
The Mackay Regional Council said it was aware of the incident and was monitoring the area for fish kills.
The previous fish kill had wiped out 98 boney bream, one barramundi and one tilapia.
Mayor Greg Williamson said the Azolia plant had been breaking down due to the hot weather.
“This may be contributing to the low oxygen levels in the water, which can cause fish kills,” Cr Williamson said.
“Council is monitoring the area regularly for fish kills and endeavours to clean up any dead fish as soon as possible.
