Tractor-trailer rollover in Newtown kills 7 cows, 6 euthanized: State Police

The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — After a tractor-trailer crash on Interstate 84 in Newtown early Thursday morning, seven cows have died from their injuries and six more were euthanized.

Sandy Hook Volunteer firefighters and State Police  were called to the scene of a tractor-trailer rollover on the I-84 West Exit 10 off-ramp around 3:30 a.m. 44 cows were determined to be inside the trailer, state police said, 

Connecticut State Police said that based on the injuries sustained by the cows and the risk of exposure to hazardous conditions resulting from the rollover, a state veterinarian was contacted about the injured cows and made the decision that approximately six of the cows should be euthanized. 

The veterinarian requested that Troopers euthanize the cows; the cows were euthanized on scene.

It was then determined that seven of the cows perished as a result of the accident. The truck driver was not injured.

All westbound lanes of I-84 were shut down for a time in the interest of public safety.

The driver was not injured, according to firefighters.

Microsoft launches fall 2023 Xbox ad campaign with new commercial that includes Hellblade II

xbox

Officially, the holiday shopping season doesn’t start for over a month, but Microsoft isn’t wasting any time launching its big fall/holiday marketing campaign for its Xbox game console.

Xbox Wire states that the new campaign has the tagline “Power Your Dreams”. Microsoft has already posted a new three minute long live action commercial to jump-start the campaign. It will be shown during the NFL Thursday Night Football game on Amazon Prime Video later tonight and will be shown globally through the holiday season.

The commercial itself is called Wake Up and Dream, and shows a young gamer dreaming about going to video game worlds like the ones in Starfield, Forza Motorsport, and even a third-party game, Cyberpunk 2077.

The most interesting world the main character enters is from a game that won’t actually be released this year. The gamer imagines she is in the world of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II from developer Ninja Theory. That game won’t be released until sometime in 2024.

Josh Munsee, the Director of Microsoft’s Xbox Integrated Marketing team, offered up some behind-the-scenes tidbits of the Wake Up and Dream commercial on his X (formerly Twitter) account. For example, when the young gamer sees Senua in that part of the clip, Munsee says that the character is played by the actor who voices and does her motion capture work in Hellblade II, Melina Juergens.

Munsee also states that the cinematographer for the commercial is Matty Libatique, who has a ton of feature film credits including, but not limited to, Iron Man 1 and 2, Venom, and the upcoming Maestro.

Finally, some people have speculated that the order of the…

Putting manufacturing in the spotlight

PLAINS TWP. — Eric Joseph Esoda, President and CEO at NEPIRC, opened Friday’s 2023 Manufacturing Best Practices Summit and Expo by stating that NEPIRC is “changing the conversation about manufacturing”

Esoda addressed the 105 vendors and more than 600 attendees at the event held at Mohegan Pennsylvania.

“We are changing the conversation to highlight that manufacturers are innovative, high-tech and socially responsible firms that offer good-paying, reliable and rewarding employment to more than 45,000 people in Northeastern Pennsylvania and over 580,000 Pennsylvanians statewide,” Esoda said. “Manufacturing Day is an opportunity for all area manufacturers, businesses that provide services to manufacturers and individuals who want to learn more about Northeastern Pennsylvania’s growing manufacturing sector to gather together under one roof at the region’s most impactful manufacturing networking event.”

Highlights from the NEPIRC — Northeastern Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center — event included a keynote speech from Crayola COO Pete Ruggiero; comments from Rep. Matt Cartwright, Rep. Dan Meuser and state DCED Secretary Rick Siger; and panel discussions moderated by Dr. Christine Kiesinger and InnoTek Computer Consulting, Inc. President Fred Reck.

“This event promises a high ROI for all attendees,” Esoda said. “People who are looking to network with key decision makers in the manufacturing sector, to learn more about the work these companies do and stay up to date on the latest trends in manufacturing, are attending today’s expo. With more than 105 exhibitors, this year’s event is the largest manufacturing expo in the history of our region and promises to be a worthwhile educational event.”

Dr. Christine Kiesinger, principal, CEK Communication Consultancy, moderated the Women Leaders in Manufacturing panel discussion and she presented a morning breakout session entitled “Cultivating Calm: Understanding and Responding to Personal and Relational Burnout.”

New Latina-owned dance studio opens in Nanticoke

Nanticoke, Luzerne Co. — In honor of Hispanic heritage month, FOX56 is highlighting a new Latina owned dance studio in Nanticoke scheduled to open on Wednesday, October 18th.

The studio highlights showing pride through traditional dances.

Marcie Curry, a Mexican American and the owner of Rhythmic Republic Dance Studio, has been dancing for over 20 years.

Her first dance studio was located in Chino, California. However last year, she made the move from Chino to Nanticoke to continue her dream of enriching others with the culture of traditional dance and expression.

“It’s not just about dance, it’s about expression. So for example you express your feelings along with what’s going on with the song. Let’s say a toddler maybe, they’re going to expressing whatever they’re going through, not only the routine”, Curry added.

One of the many styles covered at the Rhythmic Republic dance studio is regional Mexican dance from the state of Jalisco, Mexico.

For this style and many others, performers wear Mexican folklore shoes with nails.

The nails add noise to the dancers steps to make the shoes a part of the musical experience.

The Rhythmic Republic Dance team has been operating on a smaller scale for the past few months.

The team have performed in multiple festivals throughout NEPA including the Wilkes-Barre Multicultural festival last month.

Evolet Vazquez has been dancing and performing since she was three years old.

She says despite the large number of people at their performances she just focuses on dance moves and lets everything else fall into place naturally.

“It’s a lot of work, but my mom tells me that I’m going to do a good job and I just believe in myself. Just stop worrying about other things and you’ll do fine”, Vasquez said.

Jules, one of the dance instructors encourages all people to consider joining…
