- WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Joseph Wilcox and his father shared a dream to take one of their favorite cars and remodel it together, but after his father died in a boating accident when he was 12 and was then later diagnosed with cancer at 16, he knew he had to do everything he could to accomplish the thing they wanted the most.
His mother, Becca Kinerd, says that over the years, his stage 4 Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare bone and tissue cancer, has taken a physical toll on him.
“He did years of chemo and radiation, he had multiple surgeries, several surgeries that were more than 20 hours long each which caused a lot of nerve damage for him.”
But even through the ups and downs, Wilcox is still fighting for a dream that he and his dad shared, to remodel a car from one of their favorite shows.

The aide, who declined to be identified discussing a private conversation, said Harris talked about the need for a peaceful transfer of power.
Harris, once viewed as a potential savior for the Democratic Party after Joe Biden ‘s reelection campaign stalled, is reckoning with a profound rejection by American voters in this year’s presidential election.
She trailed in every battleground state to Trump, a man she described as an existential danger to the country’s foundational institutions.

The victory left Harris heavily reliant on the “blue wall” of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to have a credible path to the White House. The crowd at Harris' watch party at her alma mater, Howard University in Washington, began to file out after midnight.
A top Harris ally sent supporters home from her rally, with no plans for the Democratic vice president to speak.
“We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted. That every voice has spoken,” Cedric Richmond, co-chair of the Harris campaign said. “So you won’t hear from the vice president tonight, but you w...

- If you’ve been driving in Central Texas recently, you may have noticed an increasing number of electric vehicles on the road.
Those are just a portion of the more than 230,000 electric vehicles the United States Department of Energy says are registered in the state of Texas.
“EV ownership in the county has actually been growing at a pretty good clip. There are over 1,100 registered EVs in the county now,” said Eric Coffman, the Sustainability Programs Manager for the City of Waco.
Gearing up for the rising number of EVs hitting the road in Central Texas is no small task, and the City of Waco says they’ve already started to lay the foundation for an EV friendly area.
