When it comes to voting in-person, Election Day in Tennessee went off without a hitch and some say election workers had much to do with that.Two of the many election workers who helped make it happen were a husband and wife who have worked the polls for more than 30 years.Tuesday was a busy day for Ira and Norma Hendon, voters got in line in Clarksville at 7 a.m.But the Hendon's work started even earlier at 5:30 a.m. And it lasted until about 8 p.m. as they and others made sure every voter who wanted to cast their ballot did so with no problems.Ira and Norma have been election workers for decades, starting in Stewart County and now Montgomery County."But when they ask you how long you've been there, it’s kind of embarrassing," said Norma.They say in the many years since they began working the polls in 1988, a lot has changed including the voting machines themselves."They were the huge machines that looked like photography things with curtains in the front."Ira is 88 years old and Norma is 86 years old and they say there's no slowing down, not even for COVID-19. They say they felt safe the entire time with their masks and gloves.From former President George H.W. Bush to President Donald Trump, this couple has never stopped helping a first-time or long-time voter on Election Day.And even during a pandemic, they say they were encouraged by the turnout this year's large turnout."It was so inspiring to see so many people who had medical and physical issues. They came in wheelchairs, walkers, and everything and they just defied the odds to be able to vote," Norma said.They're not sure what they'll be doing come 2024 but when asked why they do it, the Hendon's say it's because it brings them joy."It’s good to meet wonderful people, that's the best part of it, you meet wonderful people all the time," said Ira.The couple says many voters come back each election and know them by name,This story was first reported by Kelsey Gibbs at WTVF in Nashville, Tennessee. 1993

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Citing the desire to achieve financial stability while maintaining competitiveness, the College of William & Mary will discontinue seven of its 23 varsity sports.At the conclusion of the 20-21 academic year, men's and women's gymnastics, men's and women's swimming, men's indoor and outdoor track & field, and women's volleyball will no longer be sponsored as Division I sports at the Williamsburg institution.In an open letter, Director of Athletics Samantha K. Huge said, "This is a wrenching decision. It will impact 118 student-athletes and 13 coaches. Altered, too, will be the lives of thousands of family members, former varsity letter award winners, alumni, fans, donors, and supporters of these seven sports programs."Over the past two decades, W&M says there have been several athletics program reviews conducted by groups both within – and external – to athletics. Each of these reviews, according to W&M, reached the same conclusion: William & Mary's model of sponsoring 23 varsity sports is unsustainable without a significant increase in funding through private philanthropy and revenue generation. William & Mary adds it has searched for alternatives to discontinuing varsity sports, without success.The full savings from the elimination of these seven sports will eventually be .66 million annually, which is 12% of William & Mary Athletics' annual budget.This story was first reported by Adam Winkler at WTKR in Norfolk, Virginia. 1501

White House adviser Stephen Miller is pushing to expedite a policy that could penalize legal immigrants whose families receive public benefits and make it more difficult to get citizenship, three sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.The White House has been reviewing the proposal since March at the Office of Management and Budget, which is the last stop for regulations before they are final. But concerns over potential lawsuits have delayed the final rule, and the draft has undergone numerous revisions, multiple sources say.The crux of the proposal would penalize legal immigrants if they or their family members have used government benefits -- defined widely in previous drafts of the policy.The law has long allowed authorities to reject immigrants if they are likely to become a "public charge" -- or dependent on government. But the draft rule in its recent forms would include programs as expansive as health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, as well as some forms of Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, food stamps and the Earned Income Tax Credit.The rule would not explicitly prohibit immigrants or their families from accepting benefits. Rather, it authorizes the officers who evaluate their applications for things like green cards and residency visas to count the use of these programs against applicants and gives them authority to deny visas on these grounds -- even if the program was used by a family member.Two non-administration sources close to US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which would publish and enforce the proposal, say that Miller has been unhappy by the delay and has pushed the agency to finish it quickly. The sources say Miller even instructed the agency to prioritize finalizing the rule over other efforts a few weeks ago.Miller is an immigration hardliner within the administration, a veteran of Attorney General Jeff Sessions' Senate office who has been at President Donald Trump's side since the early stages of his presidential campaign.But two other administration sources downplayed the idea of any instructions to defer other policies until it's done, though they acknowledged Miller is keenly interested in the rule.The White House and Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.Earlier this year, DHS spokesman Tyler Houlton said the administration is concerned about taxpayer dollars."The administration is committed to enforcing existing immigration law, which is clearly intended to protect the American taxpayer," Houlton said. "Any potential changes to the rule would be in keeping with the letter and spirit of the law -- as well as the reasonable expectations of the American people for the government to be good stewards of taxpayer funds."In one illustration of how many avenues there may be to challenge the complex rule, it was sent over to the Office of Management and Budget designated as not "economically significant" despite the possible impact to millions of immigrants and federal spending.Executive director of the pro-immigration group America's Voice Frank Sharry alleged that Trump and Miller are using a "deeply cynical and cruel strategy" and accused Republicans of "race-baiting.""Trump and Miller have concluded that the best 2018 political strategy is a divisive and desperate three-step: 1) do something cruel to immigrants; 2) sit back as Democrats, the fact-based media and the majority of Americans denounce the cruelty; 3) step in and claim that the President is standing up for his white base and against 'the other' while working to define Democrats as doing the opposite," Sharry said. "They did this on DACA. They did this on family separation. Now they are planning to do the same on public charge."The-CNN-Wire 3775

When you enter the sunset years of life, often there is reflection.Terry Criger likes to think of her former career as a school lunch lady in Arizona.“Oh, I loved it,” said Criger. “If I could go back, I would.”However, the passing of time eventually catches up to all of us.Criger’s been in an assisted care facility in Midvale, Utah for about a year and half now.“I had very high concerns that I would be put here and left, and fortunately I haven’t been,” Criger said through tears.She says if it wasn’t for her daughter, she’d be lost.“People here will ask what insurance you have and I’ll tell them that I don’t know and they need to ask my daughter,” Criger said.Criger is not alone.“It’s crazy. People just don’t know enough,” said Michelle Malais, a certified senior advisor.Navigating the world of health insurance and available services for our aging population can be overwhelming for families.“When it comes down to it, there is always a way; you just have to explore the different options and that’s where I come in,” Malais said.Malias is part of a national organization called Assisted Living Locaters, which helps families find the best options and how to pay for it.“I’m an advocate really for them,” Malais said. “It’s really important for our seniors to age with dignity.”Her introduction to the world of senior care was personal. Her mother suffered from dementia and her father struggled to offer care for her.“I’ll never forget that conversation because that was devastating to him,” Malais said. “He thought he had planned and, unfortunately, didn’t.”Now, she has made it a mission of sorts to make sure no one else is put in that position.“It’s very important to get ahead of the game,” Malais said.In most cases, that means having tough conversations with aging loved ones as soon as possible.Criger is adjusting well to her new life, and she has some advice for those willing to just roll the dice down the road.“You need to make a plan,” Criger said. “You need to plan for retirement because you never think you’re going to be, where you’re at in 20 years.” 2092
