| Unalaska doctor nationally recognized for bringing emergency training to providers in rural Alaska Unalaska's Dr. Murray Buttner has been nationally recognized for his work bringing emergency training to rural Alaska communities. Buttner, a family medicine doctor and co-medical director of the island's Iliuliuk Family and Health Services clinic, was named a 2021 community star by the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health. The award went to one health care provider in each state. "It was a nice little award because I have been working in rural Alaska since ‘97. And that's what I consider myself: a rural family doctor," Buttner said. "I loved the job in Anchorage, but it didn't feel like me. And then when I got back here, it's like, this is what I love." Buttner received the honor for his work organizing trauma training workshops around the state. Trauma is the leading cause of death in Alaskans age 45 and younger, and overall, Alaskans die from trauma at rates 50% higher than the rest of the U.S. KTOO-FM 104.3 JUNEAU PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Fire destroys building at famed winery in New York VIDEO/PHOTOS: No one was hurt, but one of Three Brothers Wineries and Estates' famed spots was destroyed in a fire on Monday. Firefighters from Varick, Romulus, Ovid, Fayette, Border City, Oaks Corners, Lodi, Interlaken, Canoga, and Waterloo were called to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. Flames could be seen from a significant distance away. Tanker trucks were used to bring water to the scene to put out the fire. However, it was destroyed by the blaze. Following the fire, Three Brothers Wineries and Estates posted the following message to Facebook: "As you may have heard, we had a fire this evening at Three Brothers Wineries and Estates in our beloved Bagg Dare Wine Company. Thankfully, no one was hurt and no one was in the building at the time. We are heartbroken at the destruction of the famed structure, its history and the authentic memorabilia inside, but we are grateful to the local fire department and all others who arrived so quickly to help." FINGERLAKES1 Intensive Smoke Diver Training prepares Kansas firefighters for the worst-case scenario VIDEO: More than 500 firefighters are on staff in Wichita. Of those, only six have been through the smoke divers training in Georgia, and three others attended a spin-off course in Oklahoma and Indiana. Those who have passed the training said it is helping their response time to save those in need. The smoke diver training sounds just like it looks – firefighters learn how to dive into burning homes to save people trapped in a fire. In Georgia, roughly 20 in-state and 20 out-of-state firefighters are selected each year. On average, fewer than half pass the training. One of those who made the cut was Captain Stephen Runyan of the Wichita Fire Department. "It's the hardest but most rewarding week of your life," Runyan said. KSNW-TV NBC 3 WICHITA New Wisconsin law bans cellphone use while driving near roadside emergencies, adds other safety rules Gov. Tony Evers was in Amherst to sign 2021 AB 297 into law on Monday. The governor was joined by Democratic Rep. Katrina Shankland, of Stevens Point and other local elected leaders, first responders, roadside assistance workers, and construction and utility workers. "Many of the jobs are hazardous enough on their own without having to fear for your life due to a distracted or dangerous driver," said Governor Tony Evers, "at every crash site, our states emergency responders whether it's fire, law enforcement, EMS, towing and transportation, are at risk of being struck, injured, or even killed." This bill was initiated when Amherst Fire Department Assistant Chief Brian Swan reached out to Rep. Katrina Shankland and other area legislators to discuss first responder safety during roadside responses. WSAW-TV CBS 7 WAUSAU The Story Behind Pearl Harbor's Most Successful Rescue Mission When Julio DeCastro, a civilian worker at Pearl Harbor's naval yard, reached the capsized U.S.S. Oklahoma on the infamous morning of December 7, 1941, he heard the sound of frenetic tapping of sailors trapped within the hull. Hours earlier, during a surprise assault on the Honolulu military base, Japanese forces had bombarded the American battleship with torpedoes, sending it rolling onto its side with more than 450 men still below deck. Over the next two days, DeCastro, a caulker and chipper, labored almost nonstop in a valiant effort to reach the imperiled seamen. The Hawaii native and his fellow naval yard workers ultimately rescued 32 members of the vessel's crew—an act of bravery cited in "Infamy: Pearl Harbor Remembered," a new exhibition at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans marking the 80th anniversary of the attack . SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE - METERED SITE Related: 50 historical photos of the attack on Pearl Harbor Graduates in Georgia get firefighter jobs right after high school thanks to new program VIDEO: An expanded partnership between the Columbus Fire & EMS Department and the Muscogee County School District helps the city recruit firefighters and provides job opportunities for aspiring public servants, right out of high school. After department officials visited each MCSD high school to explain the program last spring semester, more than 25 students participated in the Saturday morning program called Combat Challenge. From that program, two MCSD 2021 graduates, Aaden Austin from Northside High School and Elijah Outlaw from Shaw High School, were offered firefighter cadet positions with a starting salary of approximately $42,000. In interviews with the Ledger-Enquirer, Outlaw and Austin said they pursued this career path for similar reasons: They figure college isn't the right fit for them now, and they seek a way to serve their hometown in a challenging and vital job.
