Virginia State Police urges drivers to stop for school buses during National School Bus Safety Week - WSLS

News (Copyright 2025 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)As National School Bus Safety Week gets underway, Virginia State Police is reminding drivers to stop for school buses and students and to follow all bus safety laws. The awareness week runs from Oct. 19 through Oct. 23, and this year’s theme is “Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes.”Recommended VideosAccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, less than 1% of all traffic fatalities involve children on school vehicles. However, the risk increases when a child is getting on or off a school bus. Just this month, on Oct. 7, a child was injured after getting off a school bus on Route 23 in Scott County. A dump truck swerved to avoid the bus and hit the juvenile. The driver, Myron L. McAmis, 64, of Chuckey, Tennessee, was charged with reckless driving. In another incident on Oct. 12, a school bus in Tazewell County was hit as it stopped to let children off on Route 460. A Subaru Outback behind the bus stopped, but was rear-ended by a Subaru Legacy, which pushed the Outback into the bus. The driver of the Legacy, Leslie A. Varney, 31, of North Tazewell, was charged with reckless driving.

Community organizers come together to battle voter apathy in upcoming Toronto election

Music blasted through speakers as people chatted enthusiastically outside a Toronto venue, moving between tents, a hotdog cart and an ice cream truck on a sunny October day. What looked like an outdoor festival at Lawrence Heights Community Centre was a fair held to raise civic engagement and encourage the city’s residents to vote in the Oct. 26 municipal election. The non-partisan event, organized by North York Harvest Food Bank, was attended by several groups including Voice the Vote, a joint initiative by Toronto Metropolitan University’s Democratic Engagement Exchange and United Way Greater Toronto. Jonathan Dong stood behind a table, a mock ballot box and papers laid out in front him, talking to people and handing them Voice the Vote election handbooks. “I think that participating in our democratic process, especially considering … how many people around the world aren't able to cast a vote, is incredibly important,” Dong said in an interview.
