- PENSACOLA, Fla. -- After Hurricane Isaias caused minor damage at the fairgrounds, the Pensacola Interstate Fair is set to open Thursday as planned, with crews working around the clock to finish repairs and keep preparations on schedule.
“But we took pretty minimal damage. Our facilities handled it pretty well, a little bit of debris and some roofs that we had to patch up,” said Gil Clark, CEO of the Pensacola Interstate Fair.
Clark said the fair’s planned events will continue as scheduled.
“Everything that we intended to have during the season, we’re going to have. All of our shows are on track. All of the animal shows, the steer auctions, everything that we have on the agenda is going to go on as planned,” Clark said.
For more than a week after the hurricane, the fairgrounds served as a staging area for Florida Power & Light and AT&T line workers restoring power. Clark said those crews have since moved out to make room fo...

- PENSACOLA, Fla. -- An off-duty Pensacola Police Detective was killed in a motorcycle crash in Pensacola Wednesday evening.
The crash happened on the Bayou Chico Bridge on Barrancas Avenue around 8 p.m.
The deceased has been identified as 49-year-old Angela Nieto. She had been with PPD since January 2019.
"A hard worker. She served in patrol and she was a detective," Pensacola Police Officer Mike Wood said. "Very hard working, very well-respected amongst the ranks. We're certainly going to miss her."
Police say the motorcycle was carrying two people, driving eastbound coming into Pensacola. A male was driving, while Nieto -- who was off-duty -- was riding passenger.

- With less than three weeks until Election Day, Democrats appear to have an advantage in the race for the House, but veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen said a small polling error and strong Republican turnout could change the outcome.
Rasmussen, founder of RMG Research, said the firm’s Scott Scoreboard ratings show Democrats with 217 House seats rated safe or likely, compared with 201 for Republicans. The remaining 17 seats are toss-ups, he said, meaning Democrats would need to win only one to take control of the chamber.
The Senate is a closer contest, Rasmussen said, describing it as a “50-50 shot” that is too close to call.

- SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. -- WEAR News spoke to Santa Rosa County Superintendent Dr. Karen Barber on Wednesday following the board's decision Tuesday to close schools until Monday.
This comes as the district's schools -- as well as the community -- continue to recover from Hurricane Isaias.
Early Tuesday morning, the district said the governor’s office directed schools to reopen Wednesday — a date many in the community said was too early.
During a school board discussion, board member Linda Sanborn questioned whether the district was legally required to reopen when state leaders said to.
“I understand that Mr. DeSantis and the Department of Education have said we must, but does the law say we have to do that?” Sanborn said.
The Santa Rosa County School Board ultimately voted unanimously to keep students home the rest of the week.

Those close to the workers say they had all the right paperwork.
Witnesses say the armed agents -- wearing uniforms and identifying themselves as police -- were there for more than two hours, demanding the workers to come down. But some of the workers stayed on the roof until the officers eventually left.
"They were scared. They said they're not coming down," said Eric McKnight, a friend of the workers who witnessed the incident.
McKnight recorded part of the standoff on his cell phone.
He says the workers called him to the site to help translate, bringing them water and their documentation.

- The latest inflation report is putting renewed attention on the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision as Americans continue facing elevated prices for gasoline, groceries and other everyday necessities just weeks before the midterm elections.
The new inflation figures are expected to help determine whether the central bank moves toward lower interest rates later this month or holds steady while waiting for stronger evidence that price pressures are easing.
Former Trump White House economic adviser Steve Moore joined The National News Desk to discuss the inflation outlook, the potential economic implications of the upcoming elections, renewed calls for Medicare for All and proposals to simplify the federal tax code.
Moore said he expects inflation to remain stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's long-term target.

- Description
- SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. -- Right now, about half a dozen schools in Santa Rosa County are considered too damaged to be reopened.
The storm did a number on Milton High School. But that's just one of the campuses across the county that was impacted by the hurricane.
The playground at Bagdad Elementary was covered in tree limbs and downed power lines.
The destruction is an example of why the decision to close schools until Monday was well received in Santa Rosa County.
"I think it's good to be safe," said retired educator Brenda Stokes.
She was an elementary school teacher in Escambia County for 40 years. Her home is directly across the street from the playground at Bagdad Elementary School.
"There's just trees down everywhere," Stokes said. "Even today, they've been taking and hauling big old stumps and tree trunks out. It's just a mess."
Stokes still has this power line draped across her st...

- JAY, Fla. -- The Florida Department of Emergency Management has set up mobile showers, laundry facilities, and toilets at the Jay Community Center.
That’s a quarter mile away from the Bray-Hendricks Park, where folks can get MRE’s, tarps, food, and water.
The American Red Cross has been handing out hot meals, and volunteers with BRACE (Be Ready Alliance Coordinating for Emergencies) were on site.
"So right now, there's over 5,000 homes that I've already called by having them from the hotline," said BRACE CEO Dr. Nick Jackson. "So we're going to be trying to meet those needs as soon as possible. And then we may shift into long-term recovery, and at that point, we can actually start looking at repairing homes and bringing restorations where it was possible. There's a lot of sheltering, there's a lot of food distribution, a lot of just hygiene supplies that we're sending out to pods all across the state."

- ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. -- More progress is being made in recovery efforts after Hurricane Isaias. Debris pickup is officially underway in Escambia County.
Local officials say it wasn't supposed to start until Wednesday but crews are ahead of schedule, making their first rounds Monday evening. Officials anticipate this cleanup will take about three to four months.
Resident Hazel Bailey says she's thankful for these crews. Ever since Saturday, she has been hard at work in her yard.
"Hauling limbs, believe it or not, cutting trees down with my little chainsaw, and I think I've done pretty dag-on good," Bailey said.
Her foliage and former trees now sits chopped up in a pile on her curb. But it won't be there for long.
Tuesday morning marked day two of debris cleanup in Escambia County.

- WASHINGTON (TNND) – Three weeks before the midterm elections, Republican heavy hitters are campaigning in parts of the country that, prior to this cycle, were reliably red.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump traveled to Alaska to campaign for incumbent Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dan Sullivan, who is in a tight race against Democratic Congresswoman Mary Peltola. Over the past 45 years, Alaska has elected a Democratic senator only once. Peltola held a two-point lead over Sullivan in an Alaska Survey Research poll out last week.
Earlier in the day, Vice President JD Vance departed Washington for Texas to campaign for Republican Ken Paxton, the state's attorney general. Collectively, Vance and Trump have made four trips to Texas over the past two weeks. Texas voters haven't sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1988 (another was subsequently appointed by the governor). Democratic candidate James Talarico, a state representative, led Paxton by four points in a poll by...

- From New York to Michigan, Medicare-for-all has become a major campaign issue this election cycle, drawing sharp opposition from many Republicans who argue a single-payer, government-run health care system would be too costly and disruptive.
With the November midterms approaching, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, recently criticized Democratic-led states and candidates who have proposed Medicare-for-all or other single-payer systems.

- SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. -- The Santa Rosa County school board passed a motion Tuesday morning for all schools to remain closed until next Monday amid Hurricane Isaias recovery.
This comes as several Santa Rosa County schools still need repairs and power restoration following the hurricane.
Initially Tuesday morning, the governor's office directed the county's schools to reopen Wednesday.
It was a decision that sparked a heated debate during Tuesday morning's school board meeting -- a lively and packed meeting with parents and teachers speaking out, urging the board to stand up to the Florida governor's office.
"We're doing a makeshift job just so we can say that we're open. I worry about that," parent Karen Feirman said. "It sounds like we deserve to stand up to Tallahassee and say, 'Ron, you wouldn't send your children to school with this situation.'"
Spurred by the governor's direction, Superintendent Karen Barber had a...
