The Danger of Responding First: Assaults against first responders and frontline workers soaring
SUMMARY: Kansas City firefighter-paramedic Graham Hoffman was fatally stabbed by a patient while on duty, deeply impacting the community. Since then, violence against EMS and healthcare workers has increased, with incidents like a medic being bitten and assaulted during patient transport. Studies show 80% of EMS workers face physical assaults, and healthcare workplace violence injuries nearly doubled between 2011 and 2018. Emergency nurse Sarah Cooper shared her own experiences of abuse but remains committed to her work. Advocates, including the Missouri Nurses Association, call for better security, training, and accountability. The proposed Graham Hoffman Act aims to impose federal charges for attacks on first responders.

Extreme heat poses unique health risks for children: Health Officials
SUMMARY: Dangerous extreme heat is gripping the St. Louis region, with more intense heat expected. Health officials emphasize the unique risks this poses for children, who are more vulnerable due to their body surface area and less efficient heat dissipation. While outdoor play benefits kids’ physical and mental health, heat indexes at or above 90 degrees increase the risk of heat exhaustion. Symptoms include looking unwell, pale, sweaty, and elevated body temperature. Extreme heat stresses organs like the kidneys and liver, worsened by humidity and dehydration. Children showing symptoms should stop activity immediately and be evaluated. Protective measures include hats, sunscreen, and, most importantly, staying hydrated.
The extreme heat poses health risks to everyone, but it becomes a unique challenge for kids who like spending their summer days outdoors.

A whites-only community could be coming to Springfield area
SUMMARY: Eric Orwoll, co-founder of Return to the Land (RTTL), a whites-only private membership group excluding non-white and Jewish people, said the group may expand near Springfield, Missouri. RTTL, based on 160 acres in northern Arkansas, promotes communities rooted in European ancestry and traditional values. The Anti-Defamation League condemned the group’s segregationist nature, calling for enforcement of fair housing laws. Orwoll claims RTTL’s activities are legal under the right to free association and envisions RTTL communities nationwide, offering services like homeschooling and legal advocacy. He emphasizes living among like-minded people amid demographic changes without forced racial integration.
