Gov. Mikie Sherrill should end her silence now over the allegations facing her lieutenant governor and secretary of state, Dale Caldwell.

It’s been two days since the New Jersey Globe reported that Sherrill’s administration is investigating allegations of “inappropriate behavior” regarding Caldwell and we have nothing but coy statements from the governor’s office saying they can neither confirm nor deny an internal probe.

The Science of Finding Cancer Early Just Proved Itself. The Communities That Need It Most Are Ready.

By Gary A. Puckrein, PhD

Residents of Houston’s Fifth Ward live adjacent to documented creosote contamination. The neighborhood is ninety-four percent non-Hispanic Black. It is a state-designated cancer cluster. Those who live there do not need a clinical trial to tell them that cancer is coming for their community. They need a way to find it before it’s too late. 

The possibility is no longer theoretical. The NHS-Galleri study — the largest randomized controlled trial of multi-cancer early detection (MCED) ever conducted — demonstrated that a blood test can detect cancer at four times the rate of standard screening alone. Critically, it identified cancers at Stages I and II, when treatment is less invasive, less costly, and far more likely to succeed.

Read that again. A blood draw found deadly cancers years before symptoms would have driven patients to seek care.

Coast Guard searches for overdue boaters near St. Lawrence Island, Alaska

JUNEAU, Alaska — The Coast Guard is searching for three people aboard an 18-foot fishing vessel near St. Lawrence Island. 

Coast Guard Arctic District Command Center watchstanders were notified of the overdue vessel by the Alaska State Troopers at approximately 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Due to on-scene weather conditions and poor visibility, an aircrew in an HC-130 Hercules airplane from Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak launched Monday morning and has arrived on scene.

The fishing vessel was last seen on Friday at St. Lawrence Island while departing from Savoonga. The vessel was scheduled to return to St. Lawrence at approximately 3 a.m. Sunday. 

Anyone with information regarding the crew or the fishing vessel should contact the Coast Guard Arctic District Command Center at 800-478-5555. For more information, contact the Arctic District public affairs office at uscgalaska@uscg.mil.  

Five Things to Know

U.S. denies Iran struck one of its ships, North Korea puts second naval destroyer into service, and U.S. envoys enjoy ‘good discussion’ with Zelensky following meetings with Putin. 

1.       The U.S. military denied that Iran struck an uncrewed American military vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, calling the claim a “total lie.” A top Iranian official said Tehran plans to announce an “exclusion zone” outside the Strait of Hormuz aimed at vessels it believes are attempting to transit the waterway. State-run media in Tehran said the U.S. vessel was trying to enter an area that Iran says is restricted in the Strait of Hormuz, but Capt. Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command, called it “a total lie.” The claim came a day after the U.S. said it struck Iranian oil tankers in retaliation for Iran launching ballistic missiles at Navy warships. Attacks resumed last week after roughly a month of quiet. Iran’s parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said the era of “proportionate responses” is over and Iran’s retaliation will be “faster, heavier and more painful.”

Preserving Dudley House

A historic Plainfield residence with more than a century of architectural and community history is facing an uncertain future following the City Council’s decision to designate the property as an Area in Need of Redevelopment.

Dudley House, located at 930 Putnam Avenue, is a contributing resource within Plainfield’s Putnam-Watchung Historic District. Constructed in the late nineteenth century, the three-story Italianate-style house reflects the residential development that transformed Plainfield into a prominent suburban community during the Victorian era. Historic documentation identifies characteristic features including its low-pitched roof, tall narrow windows, and decorative porch elements.
