Pirates Fans Give Life-Saving Umpire Standing Ovation During Pre-Game Ceremony
June 29, 2017 7:43 PM By Ralph Iannotti

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Pittsburgh Pirates finished up their three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays Thursday evening, but before the game started, the team took time to honor the umpire who saved a woman’s life.

John Tumpane is making national headlines for saving a woman from the edge of the Roberto Clemente Bridge before Wednesday’s game.

Tumpane, the home plate umpire, was given an emotional standing ovation during his introduction in Thursday’s pre-game ceremony on the field.  ...

This dog spent 9 months lost in the Idaho mountains. Here’s how she got home to Boise

Read more here: http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/article160290474.html#storylink=cpy

Cheri Glankler has been rescuing dogs for 20 years — the last five of those spent in Garden Valley — so the elderly retriever that ended up in her care in late June was nothing out of the ordinary. At least initially.

From the outset, the dog looked rough. She was found collapsed on a ranch off Idaho 55 near Horseshoe Bend and brought to Glankler covered in fleas and ticks.
