One Small Act: Repairing violins, one at a time

Title: One Small Act: Repairing violins, one at a time
Runtime: 3:24
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: John Sweeny has been a woodworker for more than 50 years, but these days he’s working on a project that’s truly music to his ears.

In collaboration with the Violin Shop in Tampa, the Dunedin-based craftsman is helping recondition violins to give to children.

Violins are donated to the shop, where owners Ethan Morency and Dereck Coons try their best to fix and give them out again. Some of the violins require extensive repair, and the shop can’t afford the time to fix them.

This is where Sweeny comes in.

The 79-year-old restores some of violins at his workshop in Dunedin for free, so the Violin Shop can distribute them to kids who can’t afford, or simply want, a violin. He’s been doing the work since 2019.

Michelle Painter, Prodigy Cultural Arts Program coordinator and instructor at The Florida Orchestra, helps the shop find new owners for the violins.

“I think it’s important for these kids to hav...

Title: Last American troops exit Afghanistan
Runtime: 0:56
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: The United States completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan late Monday, ending America's longest war and closing a chapter in military history likely to be remembered for colossal failures, unfulfilled promises and a frantic final exit that cost the lives of more than 180 Afghans and 13 US service members, some barely older than the war.

Hours ahead of President Joe Biden's Tuesday deadline for shutting down a final airlift, and thus ending the US war, Air Force transport planes carried a remaining contingent of troops from Kabul airport. Thousands of troops had spent a harrowing two weeks protecting the airlift of tens of thousands of Afghans, Americans and others seeking to escape a country once again ruled by Taliban militants.

The Taliban now hold full control of Kabul's international airport Tuesday after the last US plane left its runway, marking the end of America's longest war and leaving behind a now-quiet airfield and Afghans outside it still hoping...

Category 4 Ida hammers southern Louisiana

Title: Category 4 Ida hammers southern Louisiana
Runtime: 1:14
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Hurricane Ida blasted southern Louisiana as one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the U.S. Video recorded in Lafourche Parish, west of New Orleans, showed downed trees, snapped utility poles and homes with roofs blown off.

The Category 4 storm hit on the same date Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi 16 years earlier, coming ashore about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of where Category 3 Katrina first struck land.

Ida’s 150-mph (230 kph) winds tied it for the fifth-strongest hurricane to ever hit the mainland U.S. It dropped hours later to a Category 3 storm with maximum winds of 120 mph (193 kph) as it crawled inland, its eye 25 miles (40 kilometers) west-southwest of New Orleans.

People wait for flights in Kabul, day after blasts

Title: People wait for flights in Kabul, day after blasts
Runtime: 1:18
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Evacuation flights from Afghanistan resumed with new urgency on Friday, a day after two suicide bombings targeted the thousands of people desperately fleeing a Taliban takeover.

As the call to prayer echoed through Kabul along with the roar of departing planes, the anxious crowds outside the city's airport appeared as large as ever.

They are acutely aware that the window is closing to board a flight before the airlift ends and Western troops withdraw.

Thursday's bombings near the airport killed at least 95 Afghans and 13 U.S. troops, Afghan and U.S. officials said, in the deadliest day for American forces in Afghanistan since August 2011.

Feeding Tampa Bay food bank still seeing high demand

Title: Feeding Tampa Bay food bank still seeing high demand
Runtime: 2:32
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Throughout the pandemic, Feeding Tampa Bay has increased its efforts to cover the surge in need for food.

Handled by a group of staff and volunteers, the team goes to drive-thru distribution centers and hands out boxes of food to the public. While the drive-thru model is preferred to protect the health of everyone involved, walk-ups are also permitted.

Last year alone, the organization was able to provide just shy of 95 million meals. This is up 50 to 60 percent over the year before, and almost a hundred percent from the year before that, according to President and CEO, Thomas Mantz.

Feeding Tampa Bay offers a variety of food assistance options across 10 counties, such as mobile grocery locations, food pantries, benefits assistance and a job training program.

COVID-19 variant hits Jacksonville, Florida hard

Title: COVID-19 variant hits Jacksonville, Florida hard
Runtime: 1:22
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: As quickly as one COVID patient is discharged, another is waiting at one of Baptist Health's five hospitals across Jacksonville, the hot zone in Florida's latest surge.

But these patients are younger, and getting sick faster than last summer's pandemic peak.

Baptist's hospitals had 532 COVID patients Wednesday, more than double the 224 it had during Florida's July 2020 surge, and the onslaught isn't letting up.

Hospital officials are anxiously monitoring 10 forecast models, converting empty spaces, adding over 100 beds and "bracing for the worst," said Dr. Timothy Groover, the hospitals' interim chief medical officer.

The highly contagious delta variant is hitting the Sunshine State so hard that one in five COVID patients hospitalized nationwide is in Florida.

And as with the rest of the state, the vast majority of hospitalized patients in Duval County were unvaccinated.

Haiti earthquake worries South Florida community

Title: Haiti earthquake worries South Florida community
Runtime: 1:12
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: A suburb between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale in South Florida holds deep ties to the area of southwest Haiti hard hit by Saturday's earthquake.

Many residents of Boynton Beach, Florida have been worried about their loved ones, friends and childhood homes, some are already mourning relatives who died and others are trying to assess the needs, rallying the town to gather supplies and shelter materials. "

You are seeing that feeling of "there's no where to go now. Home is destroyed. Home is gone." said Christina Romelus, a city commissioner whose parents and in-laws are from southwest Haiti. "That loss that can't be replaced."

In the last decade, Boynton Beach has grown its Haitian population far from Miami's Little Haiti and established a partnership with Les Cayes, Haiti, welcoming officials, including a former mayor who died Saturday in one of the many building collapses that followed the 7.2-magnitude quake.

Florida skeptics reconsider vaccines amid surge

Title: Florida skeptics reconsider vaccines amid surge
Runtime: 3:15
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: In a rural stretch of northeastern Florida where barely half the people have gotten a coronavirus shot, Roger West had no problem telling others that he was "adamantly anti-vaccination."

The co-owner of the Westside Journal weekly newspaper used his voice as a columnist to widely share his doubts about the vaccine and his mistrust of the health experts in the U.S. who have been urging everyone to get it.

"I do not trust the Federal Government," West wrote recently. "I do not trust Dr. Fauci, I do not trust the medical profession, nor the pharmaceutical giants."
But something happened to change his mind: Two of West's close friends became ill with the virus, and a third died.

Rattled and stressed, he prayed for guidance.

Then, when his mother and another relative both urged him to get vaccinated, he took it as a sign from God.

West drove to the Winn Dixie supermarket and rolled up his sleeve for the first of two inje...

Runtime: 1:14

Description: Thousands of Afghans have rushed onto the tarmac of Kabul's international airport, so desperate to escape the Taliban capture of their country that they held onto an American military jet as it took off and plunged to their deaths.

U.S. officials say the chaos at the airport Monday left at least seven people dead.

The crowds of people came as the Taliban enforced their rule over the wider capital after a lightning advance across the country. The militants took just over a week to dethrone the country's Western-backed government.

US troops to help evacuate embassy staff in Kabul

Title: US troops to help evacuate embassy staff in Kabul
Runtime: 0:59
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: The United States is sending in an additional 3,000 troops to help evacuate some personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, officials said Thursday.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said diplomatic work will continue at the Kabul embassy with security rapidly deteriorating in Afghanistan.

Price insisted Thursday's move shouldn't be seen as encouraging an already emboldened Taliban and he pointed to diplomatic activity in Doha, Qatar by the U.S. and other countries to get the Taliban back to the negotiating table with the Afghan government.

But the move suggests a lack of confidence by the Biden administration in the Afghan government's ability to provide sufficient diplomatic security in Kabul as a series of provincial capitals have fallen to a Taliban offensive this week.

The announcement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration applies to millions of Americans who take immune-suppressing medicines because of organ transplants, cancer or other disorders.

Biden blasts bans on mask mandates as 'disingenuous'

Title: Biden blasts bans on mask mandates as 'disingenuous'
Runtime: 1:49
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: President Joe Biden says he finds it "totally counterintuitive" and disingenuous" that some of the same governors who complain of federal overreach on protective coronavirus measures are now pushing to ban or nullify mask mandates imposed by localities and schools in their states.

Speaking in the White House East Room, Biden didn't mention the Republican governors of Florida or Texas by name.

But he said he finds it "interesting that some of the very people" who insist that government doesn't have the authority to impose mask rules "are people who are threatening that if...a principal says that everyone in my school should wear a mask or the school board votes for it, that governor will nullify that. That governor has the authority to say you can't do that."

Description: Gov. Andrew Cuomo has resigned over a barrage of sexual harassment allegations in a fall from grace a year after he was widely hailed nationally for his detailed daily briefings and leadership during the darkest days of COVID-19.

The third-term Democratic governor is increasingly isolated as state Assembly members move toward impeachment and allies desert him following last week's report from state Attorney General Letitia James that detailed 11 women's claims of sexual harassment.

Cuomo has denied behaving inappropriately with any of the women who have accused him of harassment. He has resisted calls for his resignation from top Democrats including President Biden.
