Family's Alaska fishing trip becomes nightmare with 3 dead, search ends for 2 others

Fishing fleet Harbor marina Sitka Alaska Inside Passage Southeast Alaska USA. (Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) An Alaska fishing adventure became a nightmare for a family of eight when disaster struck one of the two boats they chartered over the Memorial Day weekend, leaving three people dead and two more missing despite a desperate search over hundreds of square miles of ocean.The tragedy tore the Tyau family apart: Two sisters and one of their husbands are dead, while the other’s partner and the boat captain remain missing off southeast Alaska four days after the boat was found partially submerged off an island.Authorities suspended a more than 20-hour search covering 825 square miles on Monday and have no plans to resume it.The women's parents, older brother and sister-in-law were on the other charter boat as part of a three-day trip to a destination fishery known for king salmon and groundfish.The sisters and their sister-in-law didn’t like fishing but joined the vacation to spend more time with a family that was usually split between Hawaii and Los Angeles."It was just supposed to be a simple family get-together for eight of us, since we haven’t been together in the same spot for so long," Michael Tyau, the older brother, told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Debt ceiling deal includes new work requirements for SNAP: How they work

President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over raising the federal debt ceiling and averting an economic calamity.The bipartisan agreement reached this past weekend includes a compromise on the matter.In exchange for a two-year suspension of the debt limit, Republicans demanded stricter work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, commonly referred to as welfare.However, the deal omitted an earlier and more controversial GOP push for Medicaid work requirements, which would denygovernment-sponsored health coverageto unemployed, able-bodied adults who do not have children."We have additional work requirements that are quite consequential," Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., told reporters on Sunday.WHAT IS THE DEBT CEILING AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU?Under the current criteria to receive SNAP benefits, able-bodied adults without children who are 49 and younger must work or participate in a training program for at least 80 hours a month.

Debt ceiling and spending bill passes U.S. House, clearing major hurdle

debt ceiling while cutting government spending, clearing a crucial bar with bipartisan support as Congress races to avert a federal default.With some Republicans voting against the measure over concerns the hard-fought compromise didn’t go far enough, it took Democrats — some of whom had their own concerns and also voted no — to secure the majority needed to send the bill to the Senate, which is set to hold its own vote later this week.The goal is to get the bill signed by President Joe Biden before Monday, when the U.S. Treasury says it will run out of money to pay its debts.Ever since the deal between House Republicans and the White House emerged over the weekend, lawmakers in both parties have urged members to vote for it despite their misgivings, assessing it was better than the alternative of devastating economic upheaval.In the end, 117 House members — 71 Republicans and 46 Democrats — voted against the package.Tensions rose earlier Wednesday when Republican support lagged on a procedural vote, but the package ultimately sailed ahead once Democrats — after waiting until it was clear Republicans didn’t have the votes on their own — unleashed their own votes in a show of bipartisan support.Quick approval by Congress would ensure government checks will continue to go out to Social Security recipients, veterans and others, and would prevent financial upheaval at home and abroad.

Shortage of cancer-fighting drugs leaves patients terrified: 'It's inconceivable'

PHILADELPHIA - A national shortage of certain cancer-fighting drugs has patients frightened they won't receive the life-saving treatment they need to continue their heroic fight.The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network says hospitals across the country are short on several key chemotherapy drugs. In a statement released earlier this month, CEO Karen E. Knudsen said the shortages that are caused by factors like expanded demand, limited manufacturing capacity, and low profit margins for generic therapies "could lead to delays in treatment that could result in worse outcomes."Kestra Kelly is battling ovarian cancer for the second time after she lived cancer-free for more than a decade. Kestra, a mother who now requires chemotherapy, was told she was given one less dose than her regiment required as a "conservation method"."I met with my doctor & she basically said we’re lowering your dose as a conservation measure," Kestra said.

National Park Service offering historic Cape Cod dune shacks for lease, frustrating long-time occupants

CAPE COD, Mass. - The National Park Service is offering proposals from prospective lessees for eight historic dune shacks along the Cape Cod National Seashore in Provincetown and Truro, Massachusetts. And while the government has said the fair market value for the shacks is between just $2,000 and $16,000 a year, depending on the size of the dwelling. The shacks are extremely rustic, most with limited running water and electricity, and most of current lessees use outhouses. The remote buildings are open to all bidders "as-is with all faults" and the lessees are expected to maintain the shacks and pay for repairs. Maintenance often includes sand removal, as the shifting dunes can cover a shack. The shacks have an illustrious history and were used for decades as retreats for writers and artists like Jack Kerouac, Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams and Jackson Pollock.BEST PLACES TO BUY A BEACH HOUSE IN THE US RANKED NPS's release on the leasing opportunity adds: "The dune shacks are small, weathered, and often built on pilings to adjust for the ever-moving sand dunes surrounding these properties.
