Search suspended for nine people presumed dead in Washington floatplane crash: Coast Guard

September 6, 2022 by WDNY Radio

(WHIDBEY ISLAND, Wash.) — A search for nine people presumed dead after a floatplane crashed in Washington’s Puget Sound was suspended on Monday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard called off the search around noon local time after conducting 26 search sorties it said covered about 2,100 square nautical miles.

“It is always difficult when it comes time to make a decision to stop searching,” said Capt. Daniel Broadhurst, the incident management branch chief for the 13th Coast Guard District. “The hearts of all the first responders go out to those who lost a family member, a loved one or a friend in the crash.”

The de Havilland DHC-3 Otter float plane crashed in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island around 3:10 p.m. local time Sunday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

There were 10 people onboard, nine adults and one child, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

The Coast Guard recovered the body of one person, the branch’s Pacific Northwest division wrote on Twitter Sunday evening. The Coast Guard said Monday that search-and-rescue crews found no signs of the others.

At the time it was suspended, rescue crews were focusing on Mutiny Bay, west of Whidbey Island, according to the Coast Guard.

“The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate,” the FAA said. “The NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide additional updates.”

The NTSB said on Twitter Monday that it is sending a seven-member team to investigate the crash.

The plane was traveling from Friday Harbor on San Juan Island to Renton Municipal Airport near Seattle when it crashed, the USCG said, with the cause of the crash unknown at this time. The Coast Guard had initially said the plane was traveling from Friday Harbor to Seattle Tacoma International Airport, which it later corrected.

The Coast Guard responded to a report of the crash that was initially said to have eight adults and one child onboard, according to USCG Pacific Northwest. The USCG later corrected its statement, saying there were 10 people unaccounted for in the crash.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS said that its crew was at the scene near the west side of Whidbey Island.

Two killed, five injured at party in Norfolk, Virginia

September 6, 2022 by WDNY Radio

(NORFOLK, Va.) — A shooting in Norfolk, Virginia, on Sunday has left two people dead and five others injured, law enforcement officials said.

The Norfolk Police Department said the incident happened around midnight Saturday into early Sunday morning at a party in the 5000 block of Killam Avenue.

Four women and three men were wounded in the shooting and sent to area hospitals, with two people later succumbing to their injuries, according to Norfolk police.

Several of the victims were students at Norfolk State University, the school said. The university is offering counseling services to students impacted by the shooting.

Zabre Miller, 25, and Angelia McKnight, 19, died at the hospital as a result of their injuries, Norfolk PD said.

McKnight was a second-year student at the school studying nursing, university President Dr. Javaune Adams-Gaston said in a statement.

“Angelia’s life was important and every Spartan is a key member of our campus,” Adams-Gaston said. “With our strength, we will continue to work together.”

Authorities said that a fight broke out at the party, where a suspect took out a gun and started shooting. There were reportedly multiple firearms used in the incident, police said.

Norfolk Mayor Kenneth Cooper Alexander called for crime to end in the city.

“Let me be clear to anyone in our community committing crimes and engaging in acts of lawlessness, we will hold you accountable for your actions. The violence must end now,” Alexander said at a press conference on Sunday.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Shania Twain says Las Vegas’ creative spirit helped her “push the limits” in her residency

September 6, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Shania Twain’s lengthy Las Vegas residency is coming to an end this month, as the singer closes out her final run of shows on September 10.

As her residency winds down, the country legend says she’s grateful to the city where she’s spent so much time as a performer in recent years. Vegas, Shania explains to Billboard, is a hotbed of creative inspiration.

“The whole attitude of the city as far as entertainment goes is: ‘What can we do better? How can we get better all the time?’ That attitude, for me, that’s growth,” the singer says. “That’s a healthy, positive way to look at entertainment. There’s nothing stagnant about it.”

When it came time to plan her Vegas residency, Shania says the creative energy of the city helped her “push the limits” of her stage production, and the glitz and glamour of her show.

“You’re not gonna shine any better than you shine in Las Vegas, and they set it up that way!” she says. “Everyone wants to win, everyone wants success for every show. I feel like it’s a community in that sense.”

Collective Soul’s Ed Roland reflects on being “the opening band for everybody”

September 6, 2022 by WDNY Radio

It’d be hard to beat Collective Soul‘s collection of tour mates.

The “Shine” rockers have shared the road with artists including Metallica, Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Cranberries and Styx over their 30 years as a band. Speaking with ABC Audio, frontman Ed Roland shares he feels “blessed” to have such an extensive touring history.

“We’re like the opening band for everybody,” Roland laughs.

As for what makes Collective Soul able to fit on so many different kinds of bills, Roland’s explanation is simple: “We’re just a rock ‘n’ roll band.”

“We’ve just never put ourselves where we have to be this sound or this vibe,” he says. “It’s all about that song at that moment — how is this song gonna translate to what makes us feel good?”

Collective Soul now has a new band to add to the roster in Switchfoot, who they’ve been touring with since July. Roland feels his group and the “Meant to Live” rockers share a common “spirit of the music” and “attitude.”

“They take it serious, we take it serious,” Roland says. “It’s just the values of everybody in the band. They’re very family oriented.”

Fittingly, both Collective Soul and Switchfoot are literal bands of brothers. Roland’s brother Dean Roland plays guitar in Collective Soul, while Switchfoot features siblings in frontman Jon Foreman and bassist Tim Foreman.

More than that, though, Roland feels the two bands are both “appreciative of where we are in life.”

“We’re appreciative of people enjoying our music,” he says. “I think that is what bonds us together.”

Collective Soul’s tour with Switchfoot is scheduled through the end of September. Their new album, Vibrating, is out now.

New John Entwistle compilation, ‘Rarities Oxhumed – Volume One,’ to be released in October

September 6, 2022 by WDNY Radio

New details have been unveiled about Rarities Oxhumed – Volume One, the recently announced forthcoming compilation that will feature rare and unreleased recordings by late Who bassist John Entwistle.

The album will be released on CD on October 21, while the first track from the collection, “I’ll Try Again Today,” will debut on September 16.

“I’ll Try Again Today” originally appeared on The John Entwistle Band‘s the 1999 live album, Left for Live, which featured performances recorded during the group’s 1998 tour.

As previously reported, Rarities Oxhumed – Volume One will feature previously unheard studio tracks, demos, remastered live performances and other unreleased gems. Among the live recordings is a performance of the Entwistle-penned and sung 1978 Who tune “Trick of the Light.”

The compilation will be available to preorder starting sometime this week. On DekoEntertainment.com’s webpage promoting the compilation, a countdown clock has been posted that’s scheduled to hit zero on September 9 at 4 p.m. ET, so we’re assuming that’s when preorders will begin.

Meanwhile, you can check out a couple of video trailers promoting Rarities Oxhumed at Deko Entertainement’s YouTube channel. The clips include archival interview footage of Entwistle, Mr. Big bassist Billy Sheehan and Deep Purple‘s Roger Glover.

A second Rarities Oxhumed volume is expected to be released at a later date. The albums have been put together by the Deko label in collaboration with longtime Entwistle solo band member Steve Luongo and John’s son, Chris.

Entwistle died in June 2002 of a heart attack one day before The Who was scheduled to launch a U.S. tour. He was 57.

‘The Bachelorette’ recap: Gabby’s fantasy suite dates turn into a nightmare

September 6, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Gabby and Rachel arrived in gorgeous Mexico on Monday’s episode of The Bachelorette — the first of a two-part fantasy suites week — joined their final three men.

Gabby’s first overnight date began with her and Erich taking a lovers leap into a natural spring from platforms set at varying heights. Later, over dinner, he confessed that he was in love with her and didn’t want to leave the competition without her. They capped the date off with a night in the fantasy suite.

Gabby’s date with Johnny ended on a sour note when he revealed that he wasn’t ready to get down on one knee. The news came as a “punch in the gut” to Gabby, who sent Johnny home, explaining that she wouldn’t settle for less than an engagement at the end of her journey.

Unbeknownst to Gabby, things were about to get worse after Jason, ahead of his overnight with her, confided to host Jesse Palmer that he also wan’t ready to put a ring on it.

Meanwhile, Rachel’s first two overnight dates with Aven and Tino each ended with a trip to the fantasy suites and both men feeling more confident than ever about their relationships with her. She has one more date left with Zach before deciding who she’ll bring home to meet her family.

The episode ended in a cliffhanger when Erich, arranged an impromptu meeting with Gabby to express his displeasure with her potentially spending a night with the other two men — an issue she thought they had settled off-camera during their overnight. The meeting left her questioning whether or not he was really “her guy” after all, and if she would end up leaving the competition alone.

Part two of The Bachelorette‘s fantasy suites week continues Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

20 years on, Kelly Clarkson reflects on ‘American Idol’ win: “It forever changed the course of my life”

September 5, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Kelly Clarkson may now be a Grammy-winning singer and an Emmy-winning talk show host, but she’ll always be known as the very first American Idol winner. On the 20th anniversary of her historic win — September 4, 2002 — Kelly took to her socials to reflect on what a moment like that — pun intended — meant to her.

“20 years ago today I won American Idol and it forever changed the course of my life,” Kelly wrote on Sunday. “That moment was the door that opened up so much access and opportunity, and the creative partnerships that I will be grateful for all of my days.

Kelly went on to praise “the family and friendships I have created over these 20 years in music and TV,” adding, ‘We only get so many trips around the sun and…I am most proud and grateful for those friends that have become family, and for their arms that have held me when I needed it and their hearts that listened to me when I felt lost.”

The star then thanked “every single person that voted 20 years ago,” repeating “Thank you!” three times. She wrapped up her note by expressing her hope that all those voters “have people in your lives that fill you with laughter, and hope, and happiness.”

“If you don’t feel like you have that, then keep searching because I promise they’re looking for you too,” she concluded.

The new season of The Kelly Clarkson Show debuts on September 12.
