Binghamton firefighters rescue dog from river island
Members of the Binghamton Fire Department gave Winnie a boat ride to shore on Thursday afternoon.
On Wednesday morning at about 11:30, a member of the Hatala family was preparing to take the 3-year-old English cream golden retriever for a walk when the dog spotted some Canadian geese and chased after them, crossing their invisible fence.
The Hatala's launched a full-scale search near their home on Binghamton's Westside and received reports that Winnie was spotted swimming in the river.
After the dog spent Wednesday night on an island in the river, a Binghamton Police drone was able to locate Winnie, and firefighters launched their rescue craft.
Winnie and the Hatala family were overjoyed by the reunion, with Winnie wagging her tail before curling up for a long nap.
The Hatala's say they plan to take Winnie to visit the fire station with a thank you gift in the near future.

Anne Burrell's Cause of Death Ruled a Suicide 5 Weeks After Food Network Star Died at 55
The chef died on the morning of Tuesday, June 17 at her home in Brooklyn, New York Anne Burrell cause of death has been revealed five weeks after the celebrity chef died at 55. Burrell died by suicide, PEOPLE can confirm. Her cause of death is specified as "acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine," and was determined by the New York City medical examiner's office. Diphenhydramine and cetirizine are antihistamines, ethanol is a compound found in alcohol and amphetamine is commonly used to treat ADHD. Her family declined PEOPLE's request to comment. Reps for the star announced Burrell's death in a release obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, June 17. "Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered," her family said in a statement. The statement continued, "Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal." The Food Network star was 'discovered in the shower unconscious and unresponsive surrounded by approximately (100) assorted pills,' The New York Times reported Friday, June 20, citing an internal New York Police Department document viewed by the outlet. A spokesperson for the NYPD told PEOPLE on June 18, the day after Burrell's death, that the Worst Cooks in America host was found 'unconscious and unresponsive' at the scene. EMS "responded and pronounced her deceased on scene," police said. According to a 911 call report provided to PEOPLE by the New York City Fire Department, a person called in at 7:50 a.m. local time, concerned that she had suffered cardiac arrest. A fan-favorite on the Food Network, Burrell was best known as the longtime host of Worst Cooks in America, where her passion for food and mentorship turned disastrous kitchen hopefuls into capable cooks. Born on Sept. 21, 1969, in Cazenovia, New York, Burrell discovered her love for cooking early, inspired by her mother's home-cooked meals and television icon, Julia Child. She studied English and Communication at Canisius College in Buffalo before pursuing a culinary career at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated in 1996. In the early 2000s, Burrell transitioned into teaching at the Institute of Culinary Education and eventually made her way to television. Food Network audiences first met Burrell as a sous chef on Iron Chef America. Her charisma and culinary chops led to her own Emmy-nominated show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, which premiered in 2008 and ran for nine seasons. From there, Burrell became Food Network staple, also appearing on Chef Wanted, Chopped, Food Network Star, and most recently, the competition series House of Knives, which just premiered in March 2025. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Burrell authored two cookbooks: 2011's Cook Like a Rock Star, which made her a New York Times bestseller, and Own Your Kitchen: Recipes to Inspire and Empower in 2013. Burrell and husband Stuart Claxton met on Bumble in 2018 before getting married three years later on Oct. 16, 2021. The night before she died, on June 16, Burrell closed out her Second City 'Improv for Actors' course with a final performance in Brooklyn. 'She was having the best night,' actress Jane Margolis, a member of Burrell's improv troupe, told PEOPLE in the July 7 issue. 'She'd come up with these one-liners out of the blue that were just hysterical. She really was so into it.' She is survived by Claxton and his son, Javier, as well as her mother, Marlene, and sister, Jane, her children Isabella, Amelia and Nicolas, and her brother Ben.

How Mike Lynch shielded his family fortune from £700m fraud ruling
After winning his freedom last year, Mike Lynch was relaxed about the prospect that he might become personally penniless. The British software tycoon had faced the prospect of decades in prison before he defeated criminal fraud charges in a San Francisco trial, and described winning the case as being granted a 'second life'. The prospect of signing his wealth away to Hewlett-Packard (HP), the tech giant that was pursuing him for billions in the English courts, paled in comparison to ending his life behind bars. But Lynch was breezy about the prospect for another reason: a large portion of the Lynch family fortune was held in his wife Angela Bacares's name, shielding it from any legal repercussions. 'My wife has been very good at investing in the things that I've told her to from a point of view of technology. We've done very well,' Lynch said in an interview after he was acquitted. 'It's not a perilous situation.' Just a few weeks later, Lynch and his daughter Hannah died when the entrepreneur's superyacht, Bayesian, capsized off the coast of Sicily, a tragedy that Bacares herself survived. But the decision for Bacares to hold much of the wealth in her name now looks like a wise move. On Tuesday, a judge ruled that HP was owed almost £740m from Lynch and his business partner Sushovan Hussain over the fraudulent sale of their software giant Autonomy 14 years ago. With Mr Hussain having settled privately, Lynch's estate is on the hook for the majority of the damages. Valued by lawyers at $450m (£333m) during his US trial, the fortune in Lynch's estate would be wiped out by the judgment. An appeal by Lynch's legal team is likely. But even if the estate is bankrupted, Bacares is sitting on a fortune worth hundreds of millions owing to the way the pair divided the proceeds of Lynch's endeavours. American-born Bacares, 58, worked on Wall Street and in the City of London before her and Lynch were engaged in 2001 and married the following year. She has not made any public comments since her husband's death, beyond a brief message from the Lynch family stating they are 'devastated'. But her name has featured regularly in stock market filings, company records and court documents. While Lynch made around £500m from selling Autonomy, Bacares, who was occasionally an employee at the company, sold £15.6m of shares. By the time Lynch's next venture, cybersecurity company Darktrace, made it to the public markets, Ms Bacares was the dominant shareholder. She owned 12.8pc of the company at the time of its London flotation, compared to a 4.9pc stake owned by Lynch. Bacares and Lynch had both sold the majority of their stakes by the time Darktrace was bought by private equity firm Thoma Bravo for $5.3bn last year – netting hundreds of millions of pounds. She is also one of the biggest shareholders in Luminance, a legal AI company backed by Lynch's venture capital firm, that has raised more than $115m. Company filings also show her listed as a director at Bunhill Partners, a now defunct algorithmic trading. The couple's personal assets were also held in her name, including Loudham Hall, the Suffolk estate where they lived, and Bayesian itself. The superyacht, raised only last month, was owned by Revtom Limited, of which Bacares was the only shareholder. This may now present its own legal complications. Families of those who perished on Bayesian, including cook Recaldo Thomas and Lynch's lawyer, Chris Morvillo, are seeking compensation from the insurance company that covered the vessel. Hewlett-Packard, now known as HPE, could also theoretically pursue Bacares if there is a shortfall from the fraud case, although the optics of going after his widow would be questionable. Even if Lynch's estate is wiped out, his family are likely to be well looked after. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

ICE Detains Singer of No. 1 Hit Songs After Decades in the US
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jane Eugene, vocalist of the chart-topping 1980s British R&B group Loose Ends, has been held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody for over two months after being detained near the Canadian border for overstaying her visa for over two decades, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek. In a Thursday email statement McLaughlin said, "Jane Eugene Sendall Peters was denied an immigrant petition for alien workers in 1999 and had already overstayed her visa at the time of application." Newsweek has contacted organizers on behalf of Eugene via GoFundMe on Thursday. Why It Matters Trump's second term, now at the half-year mark, has largely been characterized by his immigration and border security agenda—issues he emphasized heavily during his campaign last year. He has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation effort in U.S. history. Eugene's detention comes as thousands of people having been arrested and detained, including immigrants residing in the country illegally and legally, with valid documentation such as green cards and visas. The administration has detained and deported thousands of people to their countries of origin, as well as a smaller percentage to third countries with U.S. agreements, including El Salvador, Uzbekistan, South Sudan and Eswatini. What to Know Eugene was a vocalist with the British band that had two hit records top the No.1 spot on the R&B hits on the Billboard charts. She has been living in the U.S. for decades. On May 3, she was "refused entry to Canada" at the Niagara Falls border crossing, McLaughlin told Newsweek. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) "arrested her and she is pending a hearing with the Executive Office for Immigration Review," McLaughlin noted. Newsweek has confirmed in the ICE detainee database that she is currently held in Kentucky's Campbell County Detention Center. Musician Steve Nichol, singers Jane Eugene and Carl McIntosh of Loose Ends poses for photos backstage at the Holiday Star Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana in November 1988. Musician Steve Nichol, singers Jane Eugene and Carl McIntosh of Loose Ends poses for photos backstage at the Holiday Star Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana in November 1988.A GoFundMe set up by one of Eugene's friends, Dena Crowder, stated that "the conditions are taking a huge toll. Jane's health is rapidly deteriorating." Several reports from human rights organizations and politicians have raised concerns about conditions in ICE detention centers. Crowder wrote in the GoFundMe, "Under Section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) there's a provision that allows people who entered the country and applied for a green card before 2001 to re-apply for legal status while still in the US, even if they overstayed their visa. Jane meets the requirements for 245(i) and is 'grandfathered' in." In order to qualify for the provision, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) notes that "you must be the beneficiary of a labor certification application (Form ETA 750) or immigrant visa petition (Forms I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, or I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) filed on or before April 30, 2001." In addition, "You must complete Supplement A to Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, to apply under Section 245(i) provisions and submit it with your Form I-485." It is not clear if Eugene meets those requirements. The GoFundMe has raised over $16,000. What People Are Saying Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek in an email Thursday: "The law applies equally, even to Trump and Secretary Noem are committed to restoring integrity to the visa program and ensuring it is not abused to allow aliens a permanent one-way ticket to remain in the U.S. "Illegal aliens can take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return." Dena Crowder said in the GoFundMe: "She loves America, has made her home here, and wants to fight using every legal remedy available. To those of us who know her personally, she's not just an R&B legend, she's one of the most caring and compassionate human beings you will ever meet. Aside from enriching the lives of millions through her performances through the years, and influencing numerous musical genres, including neo-soul, house, and hip-hop, she mentors aspiring artists and actively supports members of any community in need." What Happens Next Eugene is scheduled to have an immigration hearing this week. The Trump administration has pledged to continue its immigration policies and plans to expand capacity at detention centers.
