Rescheduled Dinner with Stronger Security | Jefferson City News

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back — bigger, safer, and more determined than ever. Rescheduled for Friday at the Waldorf Astoria after being cut short by a security breach in April, this year’s event honors the Secret Service agents, student scholars, reporters, and hotel staff who stood firm amid chaos. With heightened security — digital tickets, pre-screened entry, and a dedicated security firm — organizers are sending a clear message: journalism will not be silenced. Special recognition goes to Agent Victor Gonzales, who raced into danger to protect others, and hotel staff who turned meals into meals for those in need. This dinner isn’t just about celebration — it’s a powerful statement of resilience, safety, and the enduring spirit of a free press.

Cooler Days Ease Heat Stress at Fair | Jefferson City News

Cooler temps are giving Boone County Fair animals and exhibitors a much-needed reprieve from summer’s heat, with cattle like Charlie Hazelrigg’s breathing easier and showing more comfort. Exhibitors are armed with strategies—plenty of water, fans, shade—to combat heat stress, even for newcomers like Gulian Garret, who’s learned to feed smaller, more frequent meals on hot days. But relief is temporary: hotter weather looms as the fair winds down, reminding everyone to stay vigilant and compassionate with the animals.

Boone County Cyclosporiasis Surge | Jefferson City News

Boone County’s cyclosporiasis outbreak is exploding — cases jumped from 22 to 66 in just one week, making it Missouri’s epicenter.
