Nassau County is slowly cracking down on their DWI enforcement after the Highway Patrol Bureau officers announced a STOP-DWI enforcement initiative across the country.

Now that the precedent has been set, expect Nassau County police to be in force and become a lot stricter starting next month. The Police Commissioner Thomas Dale and County Executive Edward Mangano have announced the importance of this enforcement in their campaign today. They claim that the grant will allow the allocation of more officers on duty, which they hope will help crackdown people who are drinking while intoxicated.

DWI incidents have become very common over the past few years. With that said, this is the first step in the right direction to limit accidents like these from occurring anywhere on Long Island.

Two New York hospitals are taking action in order to encourage healthy eating. Harlem Hospital and Lincoln Medical Center in the South Bronx are focusing on low-income, high-risk patients who cannot afford to purchase fruits and vegetables from farmers markets across the city.

Doctors are handing out “prescriptions” or “Health Bucks” which are $2 coupons good for any of the farmers markets in NYC.

The Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program consists of 140 obese patients so far. The city hopes to expand farmers market revenue while providing healthy choices for patients and their families.

The pilot study includes healthy eating counseling and one day hopes to expand the program.

A young woman was thrown off a roller coaster and fell to her death on Friday, July 20th at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington.

The reason why she was thrown off is still being investigated, but a witness claims the woman-expressed concern about the Texas Giant roller coaster safety bar not completely engaging as the ride was starting. That being said, why wouldn't the employees working the 14-story ride make sure the bar was securely fastened? 

German roller coaster maker, Tobias Lindnar, is sending officials to Texas to further investigate what exactly happened that Friday afternoon. Lindnar has a stellar reputation, having zero problems with car safety bars on any of the 50 roller coasters that have been built over the past 30 years.

Sharon Parker, the spokeswoman for the Arlington amusement park, reiterated the importance of finding out what exactly went wrong and how it happened. She stated: “We are committed to determining the cause of this tragic accident and will utilize every resource throughout this process; it would be disservice to the family to speculate regarding what transpired.”

Former New York Knick, and new head coach of the Brooklyn nets, Jason Kidd, has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge this past week.

Kidd was arrested last summer on July 15th, after signing his new deal with the Knicks. Police go on to say Jason crashed his Cadillac SUV into a telephone pole in South Hampton late that night. Almost a year later, Kidd admitted in court that he had obtained “three to four drinks of tequila” before the incident occurred.

Tom Spota, Suffolk County District Attorney says that even though Kidd has been willing to cooperate, his actions will not be forgotten and he will not be getting off easy. Jason kid is on interim probation until he speaks to two Suffolk County schools about the risk of drinking and driving.

Kidd can knock down his charge to driving while impaired once he speaks to the two schools. For the time being, Kidd’s license remains suspended until further notice.
