Former Washington NFL stars named July 4 Parade Grand Marshals
Former Washington Redskins Clinton Portis and Ryan Kerrigan will be celebrating July 4 in Middletown, Va. The two former Redskins stars are not only celebrating our nation's independence in Middletown, but they are also being honored, as they have been named grand marshals for the July 4 Middletown parade. A third grand marshal has been named, Lauryn Ricketts, a meteorologist with WRC-TV and WTOP-FM in Washington, D.C. Portis before playing with the Redskins, was a Miami Hurricane prior to being drafted by the Denver Broncos. When Redskins cornerback Champ Bailey threatened to boycott training camp if they used the NFL franchise tag on him, Washington traded Bailey and a second-round draft choice to the Broncos for Portis. Playing in 113 NFL games, Portis rushed for 9,923 yards, averaging 4.4 yards a carry and scoring 75 NFL touchdowns. Following his NFL career, Portis was voted one of the Washington Redskins' greatest 80 players to mark the 80th anniversary of the franchise. Kerrigan played in 172 NFL games, all but one season in Washington, where he accumulated 95.5 quarterback sacks. The former first-round draft choice (16th overall) by the Redskins in the 2011 NFL draft, accumulated 333 solo tackles while also forcing 26 fumbles. Playing 10 seasons in Washington (his one final season in Philadelphia), Kerrigan became the Washington all-time quarterback sacks leader with 95.5. The four-time Pro Bowler led the NFL in 2016 with 18 tackles for a loss. 'We're excited that they're coming and we're looking forward to a wonderful July 4th celebration,' Mayor Charles Harbaugh said. 'We're really throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it.' The mayor was referring to a full slate of activities on tap for Independence Day, starting with a Big Ball softball tournament at 8 a.m. and ending with a fireworks show at 9:15 p.m. Events will be held at various locations in town but most will occur in Middletown Community Park. The centerpiece of Middletown's July 4th celebration is its parade. Organizer Katie Garrett said that as of Thursday morning, 76 entries were set to participate. The parade will step off at 5 p.m. and wind its way along Main Street.

Royal Homes Acquired by New Management Group; Housing Production at Wingham Plant Set to Multiply
WINGHAM, ON, July 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Royal Homes Limited, Ontario's longest established housing manufacturer, has been acquired by a management group led by industry veteran Sid Kerrigan, the long-time President of Brookfield Residential's Ontario housing division. After 55 years developing an immensely respected housing brand, producing and delivering high-quality custom homes out of its 115,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Wingham, Ontario, the Royal Homes franchise now enters a bold new chapter aimed at addressing Ontario's growing housing crisis. "Our market needs a faster, more efficient way to construct and deliver new homes, and Royal Homes will play a lead role in driving that innovation forward", said Kerrigan. "Though we will remain focused on delivering the highest-quality custom homes, our plant has significant available productive capacity, so we will partially pivot towards more repeatable housing designs, across a range of built-forms. "We will expand our dealer network throughout Ontario and build upon our many valued relationships with municipalities and First Nations communities in order to fast-track housing supply to those areas with the highest need". To scale up the business, the Wingham manufacturing facility will see a significant financial investment that is expected to create hundreds of new jobs over the next three to five years - strengthening both the Company and the local economy. " Royal Homes is an integral part of the Wingham community. We are committed to growing our investment and productive output in Wingham while generating high quality jobs and meaningful housing solutions," Kerrigan added. Financing for this acquisition was led by BDC, BDC Capital and CIBC. Founded in 1971, Royal Homes is a factory home builder based in Wingham, Ontario. Known for precision-built custom homes, the business has won numerous housing awards over the years, is registered with both HCRA and Tarion, and has built and delivered thousands of homes to families across the province.

Giant Dinosaurs Take Over Peoria Riverfront Museum
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — The Peoria Riverfront Museum has officially gone prehistoric. Thursday, it roared to life with the opening of a brand-new exhibition: 'The World's Largest Dinosaur.' This immersive display brings visitors face-to-face with some of the largest creatures to ever walk the Earth, sauropods. Some of them grew up to 150 feet or the length of four city buses. The museum's exhibit will feature a life-sized 60-foot-long Mamenchisaurus, with one of the longest necks of any dinosaur. Those long-necked giants are childhood favorites. They were featured in cartoons and the groups features one of the most famous dinos of all time: the Brontosaurus, the 'Thunder Lizard.' The gentle giants — they were plant-eaters unlike their cousins, Tyrannosaurus Rex — are the focus of the new exhibit, which started Thursday and lasts through Sept. 1. 'The World's Largest Dinosaurs,' presented by the Gilmore Foundation, made its Midwest debut from the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Along with life-size models, the experience digs deep into the science behind sauropods, exploring everything from how they grew to such enormous sizes to the biology required to keep their massive bodies functioning. Renae Kerrigan, the museum's curator of science, hopes the exhibit does more than just impress with its scale. 'Maybe it makes somebody think about, 'I want to learn more about the other types of dinosaurs that lived on the planet,'' she said. 'Or maybe, 'Well, why aren't there dinosaurs here today? What happened to dinosaurs?' You might start to learn about how birds are actually the descendants of dinosaurs. 'I just hope it inspires people to continue learning more about something that piques their curiosity here at the museum,' Kerrigan said. In addition to the jaw-dropping scale of the displays, the exhibition also delves into the fascinating world of dinosaur eggs, growth patterns, and the biomechanics of how these giants might have pumped blood through their enormous bodies.

‘We are living through a Sepsis pandemic, but no one is talking about it'
But there's another condition that silently yet aggressively takes lives, often without being spotted in time – it's called sepsis. Since the Covid pandemic was declared in 2020, the world recorded 7.1 million deaths linked to the disease. But during that same period, sepsis caused around 11 million deaths globally each year. According to Professor Steve Kerrigan of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), this lack of attention is deeply alarming and awareness of sepsis remains dangerously low. 'That's not a pandemic?' he said. 'Sepsis is a pandemic.' Tonight, Professor Kerrigan, who is head of the Cardiovascular Infection Research Group and co-founder/Chief Scientific Officer at Inthelia Therapeutics, will host a talk on the dangers of sepsis as part of the Pint of Science festival. He'll be sharing the stage at The Waterloo Bar on Baggot Street with a sepsis survivor and the relative of a woman who died from the condition. In February 2018, Professor Kerrigan and his team carried out a survey and found that only 28pc of the population could define sepsis, which is considered a 'silent killer' both in Ireland and around the world. He aims to increase public awareness on how to recognise sepsis and understand why early detection is critical. 'It's not like cancer or stroke, where there are widely known signs. Sepsis is very non-specific,' he said. 'That's where the big problem is.' Professor Kerrigan said sepsis can kill in as little as 12 hours. Even in hospitals, there is no definitive test or biomarker for sepsis, unlike other diseases like cancer. ADVERTISEMENT 'Sepsis is an exaggerated, sudden, overwhelming reaction to an infection by the body,' he said. 'We really need to get people to be able to spot the signs and symptoms because it happens so fast.' If caught early, the only effective treatment available is antibiotics. 'If we catch the patient early enough, sepsis is fully curable,' Professor Kerrigan said. 'But for every hour you delay treatment, the risk of death increases by 8pc.' Sepsis remains difficult to spot. Its symptoms often resemble the flu or a cold: fever, chills, fast heartbeat, rapid breathing, disorientation, extreme fatigue. 'The big problem is that the signs and symptoms of sepsis are non-specific. That's why many people ignore them – they think it's just the flu,' Professor Kerrigan said. 'You need to get to the hospital as fast as possible and ask the question: Could this be sepsis? That one question can trigger the right treatment protocol and save a life.' However, raising awareness is only the beginning. Professor Kerrigan said that healthcare worker training is equally important. 'We need to ensure that all of our health care workers, all of them, need to be trained in understanding what sepsis is and how to spot signs and symptoms,' he said. Professor Kerrigan also highlighted the urgent need for government-backed research to fight against sepsis and antibiotic resistance. 'We are heading back to the pre-penicillin era, where infections and sepsis could not be effectively treated. If antibiotics fail, we have nothing else to rely on,' he said. 'We're hoping we can develop some tests to see if a person has sepsis, because we have identified a potential biomarker we think is playing a really important role. 'That might be the new diagnostic and the reason why you would give a drug and start initiating antibiotics.' Professor Kerrigan's talk takes place on Thursday, May 21, at The Waterloo Bar, 36 Baggot Street Upper. Doors open at 6.30pm, with the event set to begin at 7pm. Tickets can be obtained for free on the Pint of Science website
