Community and music unite at Georgetown High to support young cancer survivor
SUMMARY: During a chorus concert at Georgetown High School, four-year-old Luca, a leukemia survivor, was celebrated for his inspiring journey. After battling leukemia for over two years and being off treatment for six months, Luca’s story, “The Chocolate Treasure Hunt,” was transformed into a song by composer Willie Cornish, alongside the school band. The story features Super Mario characters embarking on a treasure hunt with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, filled with action fitting for a young child’s imagination. Luca enjoyed his moment in the spotlight, sitting front row as his song was performed, showcasing resilience and joy amidst his struggles.

Who is Pete Hegseth? President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to serve as Secretary of Defense
SUMMARY: Donald Trump has nominated Army National Guard Captain and Fox News host Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense, citing his toughness, intelligence, and commitment to America First. Hegseth, a staunch critic of the “woke military,” advocates for removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory (CRT) from military training. Despite his combat experience and two Bronze Stars, Hegseth lacks senior military and government experience. Critics, especially Democrats, question his qualifications and specific knowledge of defense policy, raising concerns about his potential confirmation process, even in a Republican-controlled Senate.
President-elect Donald Trump has picked a well-known television host and Army veteran to serve in his Cabinet.
Trump has selected Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth hosted “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
Hegseth is an Army combat veteran who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. He was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge for his service.
