SUMMARY: This morning, the community of Winder remembers the four victims of the tragic shooting at Appalache High School: teachers Richard Aspenwall and Christina Hery, along with 14-year-olds Christian Angalo and Mason Sher Mahorn. Students are finding strength in one another as they cope with the trauma. One student, who hid from the shooter, shared her heart-wrenching experience, expressing love for her family. A teacher acted heroically by shutting the door to prevent further tragedy. While students like Hazel Beyonde struggle with returning to school, she remains determined to pursue a future in law enforcement to help others.

A memorial continues to grow outside Apalachee High School, with bouquets of flowers and notes filled with love and hope for healing: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/special-reports/apalachee-high-shooting/apalachee-high-school-student-calls-teacher-hero-saying-he-saved-their-lives-after-he-was-shot/85-0b99aeec-29ea-4c06-8791-dc05df953bbe

SUMMARY: A report by the Jack Kemp Foundation warns that average American energy bills could rise by 25% to 70% over the next decade due to soaring energy demands driven by AI, hyperscale data centers, and advanced manufacturing.

The report argues for policy changes, including charging data centers more for energy and halting subsidies for their construction to alleviate the burden on consumers. Recommendations also include implementing minimum take clauses for utility contracts.
