Crayons and Beyond Launches 'Push for Pencils' Campaign to Supply Underprivileged Students

Crayons and Beyond, an organization dedicated to providing school supplies to students in need, has initiated its 'Push for Pencils' campaign. This initiative aims to collect essential school supplies such as pencils, pens, markers, paper, erasers, scissors, and crayons, as well as financial donations. According to Kirstin Eismin-Henry, the organization's president and CEO, the goal is to ensure that teachers have the necessary resources for their classrooms and that students from financially struggling families are not disadvantaged by a lack of basic materials. The organization's flagship store serves teachers from schools where at least 55% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, supporting educators from pre-K through 12th grade.

Washington State Investigates We Heart Seattle Over Fentanyl Foil Cleanup Practices

Washington State Investigates We Heart Seattle Over Fentanyl Foil Cleanup Practices

The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) has launched an investigation into We Heart Seattle, a non-profit organization, concerning its methods for collecting used hypodermic needles and fentanyl foil. The Division of Occupational Safety and Health initiated the case in July, demanding a range of workplace safety documents from the organization within two days. These documents included an Accident Prevention Program, a Bloodborne Pathogens Written Program, and personal protective equipment hazard assessments. Andrea Suarez, the sole direct employee of We Heart Seattle, expressed that the request was an 'egregious overreach,' especially since government agencies in King County and across the state distribute similar drug paraphernalia. We Heart Seattle has removed approximately 2 million pounds of garbage from Seattle's public spaces since 2020. Suarez detailed their cleanup protocol, which involves using pinchers or tongs with gloves to place needles into biohazard buckets provided by ...

Severe Flooding Hits German Village After Heavy Rainfall

Severe Flooding Hits German Village After Heavy Rainfall

German Village, one of Columbus, Ohio's oldest neighborhoods, experienced significant flooding on South 3rd Street following heavy rainfall on the night of August 15, 2026. A rain gauge recorded over 1.6 inches of rain in just 35 minutes, followed by an additional 0.6 inches after midnight. The intense downpour overwhelmed the area's outdated stormwater infrastructure, exacerbated by trash blocking a storm drain at the intersection of South 3rd Street and Willow Street. Local businesses, including Cento restaurant and the Book Loft, reported water damage, though swift action by staff minimized losses. Residents and community members came together to assist stranded drivers and mitigate the impact of the flooding. The area has already seen 5.37 inches of rainfall this month, well above the seasonal average.
