The news we couldn't ignore if we tried

250 Parade In Crestview Has Been Postponed Until September

The B Team Show— As excitement built across Okaloosa County for the much-anticipated America's 250 Grand Parade, organizers made the difficult but thoughtful decision to reschedule the celebration until Saturday, September 12th after forecasters warned of heavy rain and strong storms expected to move through the area this weekend. While families, veterans, marching bands, and local businesses are disappointed to put away their red, white, and blue decorations a little longer, community leaders emphasized that safety came first and promised the extra time would only make the patriotic celebration even more memorable when the streets of downtown Crestview finally fill with music, waving flags, classic cars, and neighbors gathered together under hopefully sunnier skies.

Broadcast Pioneer Ted Turner Passes Away

People— Ted Turner, the influential businessman who founded CNN and built the Turner Broadcasting empire, has died at the age of 87. Turner revolutionized television in 1975 by creating the first “superstation,” which evolved into TBS, and later purchased the Atlanta Braves to broadcast their games nationwide. In 1980, he launched CNN, the world’s first 24-hour news network, leading to the expansion of Turner Broadcasting into major channels including CNN Headline News, CNN International, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Turner Classic Movies. Turner sold the company to Time Warner in 1996 for $7.3 billion in stock and remained involved with the company until 2006. Beyond his media success, he was also widely respected for his philanthropy and environmental advocacy through the Turner Foundation, which he established in 1990.

Sorry, The 28 Year Old Can't Attend High School

BronxRiverNews— A 28-year-old woman is facing charges after prosecutors say she posed as a teenager to enroll at Westchester Square Academy in New York City. Authorities allege that Kacy Claassen used the false identity “Shamara Rashad” and claimed to be a 16-year-old recent arrival from Ohio, allowing her to attend classes and interact closely with actual students. Some students later reported feeling uncomfortable after she allegedly made disturbing remarks about “hiding bodies.” Investigators say the deception was uncovered when the school principal discovered Claassen’s Facebook profile displaying her real name and birthdate, and prosecutors claim she later admitted to lying about her identity, saying a friend encouraged the scheme in hopes of obtaining additional public assistance benefits. Claassen has pleaded not guilty to charges including child endangerment, criminal impersonation, and trespassing.

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Make-A-Book Day

Make-A-Book Day is that annual reminder that the human race will glue anything to anything and call it “a story,” then act surprised when it has feelings. You take paper, staples, and whatever thoughts you’ve been dodging all year, and you crank out a homemade book like you’re Benjamin Franklin with a craft-store coupon. It’s wholesome, sure—right up until you realize you’re one glitter pen away from writing your own manifesto about dragons, divorce, or both. The point isn’t literary greatness; it’s proving you can still make something real in a world that mostly makes excuses.
