(WZTV) — One person has died in an early morning crash Friday in Cheatham County The crash has closed the westbound lanes of I-24 in Cheatham County early Friday morning causing a huge traffic issue for morning commuters THP says all westbound lanes are expected to be cleared by 8 a.m THP troopers are currently investigating the cause of the deadly crash The crash was reported by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) around 2:50 a.m Traffic is being diverted to 41A from exits 24 and 31 Idaho Transportation Department The Idaho Transportation Department will close Pleasant View Road between State Highway 53 and Prairie Avenue as early as the first week of March Drivers will be able to use either Prairie Avenue or McGuire Road to access SH-53 Pleasant View Road Interchange construction that started last fall The project will enhance safety along the highly traveled SH-53 corridor by ultimately eliminating three railroad/vehicle crossings and increasing capacity on SH-53 and Pleasant View Road In preparation for the Pleasant View Road closure barricades will be installed the week of February 17 at the Prairie Avenue and Beck Road intersection to prevent left-turn movements to and from both streets ITD is working closely with BNSF Railway to install a temporary signal on SH-53 at Prairie Avenue which is anticipated to be active sometime in early summer These restrictions will be in place until the Pleasant View Road Interchange is completed in summer of 2026 “ITD understands that construction of this new interchange and associated improvements will significantly impact travel patterns for local and regional drivers,” said Project Manager James Dorman and the measures taken during construction are done so with this objective in mind We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work to increase safety and mobility for people using this corridor.” The first features to be constructed include the footings for the Pleasant View bridge over the railroad tracks and the new alignment of SH-53 between Hauser Lake and Hollister Hills Roads north of the existing highway One lane of traffic in each direction will predominantly be maintained on SH-53 and work will typically take place weekdays during daylight hours Construction of this project is being made possible now by a U.S Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration grant that was awarded to ITD in mid-2023 The grant program was created to improve safety at rail crossings in communities across the country to save lives Additional financial contributions were made by ITD’s partnering organizations: BNSF Railway and the Post Falls Highway District The estimated construction cost of this project is $30 million People are encouraged to stay

with Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Ludlow And though Koebler told Reminder Publishing she is excited about this new opportunity she is also sad to be leaving the center that has been her home for the past four years Her last day at the center will be April 30 “This was certainly the most difficult job transition decision I’ve ever made because I love Pleasant View so much,” Koebler said “I wasn’t planning on moving on — it wasn’t part of the great scheme of things — but an opportunity landed the move to Encompass is taking her back to her roots “I began my work with older adults in case management,” she shared adding that that experience has spanned the gamut from community work to guardianships to private case management She added the Ludlow facility was where she sent her father when he needed rehab services and that Encompass has been the place she’s recommended to Senior Center members who were exploring rehab options when facing upcoming hospitalizations “I really believe in the mission of Encompass Health,” Koebler said But that belief hasn’t made her decision to leave Pleasant View and the East Longmeadow elders she serves there an easy one In other ways it feels like it’s been my home forever,” Koebler shared Koebler said that she joined the center as it was opening up just after the COVID-19 shutdown and attendance was only about 78 people a day Now the center regularly serves “double that number When asked what programs she was most proud of having brought to East Longmeadow during her tenure Koebler was quick to point out the town’s age and dementia- friendly certification and the Senior Center’s podcast — “Stories from the View” — a weekly program that a dedicated group from the center has been producing since October 2022 “We did a lot of work with the community to achieve [age and dementia-friendly] community certification,” Koebler explained The podcast is high on her list of achievements as well because the program allows the center to focus on — and preserve — stories of people in the community She also noted the newest program that Pleasant View has instituted – using text messaging to communicate with members “I’m really proud that we are one of the first senior centers in the area using texting to communicate with people in the community,” Koebler said “allows us to text people in their native language and answer them in their native language It allows us to connect with people who don’t want to make phone calls but have a question [they need answered].” Koebler is also leaving the center with some financial pluses having been instrumental in establishing fee-for-service programs at Pleasant View that helps supplement the center’s budget Pleasant View provides meals to Quarry Hill and Village Green housing units in East Longmeadow and also provides transportation to a Birchland Park Middle School student “at a smaller fee than other transport providers and in a more individualized way,” Koebler said The meal program contract — which provides a congregate meal as well as Meals on Wheels services to the two senior housing properties — is funded by a federal grant administered by Greater Springfield Senior Services The center also recently established a Friends of the East Longmeadow Council on Aging group which can act as a 501c3 nonprofit fundraising group for Pleasant View Koebler said by adjusting the bylaws of what originally was a social club the group will now be eligible to apply for grants that the Senior Center “We’ve looked at ways of diversified funding knowing that grants don’t last and we want to take the burden off the local taxpayer while also realizing our senior population has grown and we have to find ways to supplement funding to sustain our programs,” Koebler said of these fiscal initiatives Koebler is most proud of the atmosphere she’s tried to create and will be leaving “I hope that me and my team have really created a culture of a welcoming center that brings people back,” Koebler said “I want them to have a reason to come and I want them to feel comfortable coming here it’s hard to make friends after a certain age “I just love that this is a welcoming culture,” Koebler continued “People come in all the time ant tell us that this is the friendliest Senior Center I would like to receive emails from The Reminder Tenant Leslie Sharr at Pleasant View Apartments in Easthampton who recently spoke at an Easthampton City Council meeting about her 51% rent increase from 2024 to 2025 is supporting a bill on Beacon Hill that would allow municipalities to limit how much rent could be increased in one year and others are interviewed at Pleasant View Apartments in Easthampton EASTHAMPTON — When Leslie Sharr came home to Pleasant View Apartments one day in November to find a notice taped to her door alerting her that she could either sign a new lease with a staggering rent increase or alert the new owners of her intent to leave she immediately started researching the legality of the situation I would say we were all surprised,” she said the increase in rent presented in the letter was about 35% to 40% Between rent increases implemented by Pleasant View’s previous owners the new increases introduced with the sale of the complex in November Sharr said her rent between February of 2024 and February of 2025 went up 51% “and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.” But a piece of legislation sitting on Beacon Hill has offered potential hope for Sharr and her fellow Pleasant View tenants Sharr, 76, who has lived in her apartment at Pleasant View with her 89-year-old husband for about 11 years, began to organize alongside other tenants around this legislation, titled An Act Enabling Cities and Towns to Stabilize Rents and Protect Tenants (HD.2501/SD.1084) The proposed legislation is a local option that would impose a limit on annual rent increases and require that evictions be based on defined just cause reasons within certain dwelling units within a municipality is a petitioner on the current House version of the bill because situations like the one at Pleasant View Apartments are something she sees frequently throughout her district as well Sabadosa said she consistently hears of constituents having to make tough decisions about their living situations often being forced into much less stable circumstances because of untenable rent increases “But they aren’t seeing any improvements to the property there haven’t really been any changes,” which is commonly the case with such rent increases tenants would have a better understanding of how much their rent would go up each year and the limits placed on those increases would make for less jarring spikes in rent it’s a stabilization bill,” and the goal of the bill is “to give equity to both the landlords and the tenants.” Sabadosa explained that where a rent control bill would place a cap on rent amounts this bill proposes a limit in the percentage of rent amount increases year to year Sabadosa recalled that knowing how much her rent was going to increase each year was of major help The 33-unit Pleasant View Apartments complex was purchased for $4 million in November of 2024 by Pleasantview Residences LLC according to the Hampshire Registry of Deeds management of the property has also been assumed by a new company 4 to accept or decline a new one-year lease at the updated rent amount of $1,550 This startling change and short window of decision-making time was enough to mobilize a vocal core group of tenants who got involved with the grassroots advocacy group Springfield No One Leaves which focuses its efforts on displacements caused by the housing crisis as tenants at Pleasant View have been more concerned with either scraping together their rent money or looking for a new place to live because of competitive grappling for housing in Easthampton and surrounding communities While she has been feeling the squeeze of the increase and looking for somewhere else in Easthampton to live Dorian said that a shortage of affordable housing is a major issue in the city and that there simply isn’t anywhere to go Dorian said that a few of her neighbors have moved out since the increase but others are finding ways to make it work for now you agree with our use of cookies to personalize your

decide what he wanted to do with his life after serving with a handful of area police departments including the last 10 years as Pleasant View’s chief of police Pleasant View City announced that Hadley is set to retire from the position the city will be hosting a public open house at Pleasant View City Hall from 3-5 p.m Hadley told the Standard-Examiner that a neighbor helped inspire him to get into law enforcement five decades ago “I lived in South Ogden and I had a neighbor who was a police officer,” he said “I kind of admired the work he did and he let me ride with him a couple times when I was only 20 years old It didn’t take long to see the excitement and the good that he was doing and I thought He said within a year he became a reserve officer with the South Ogden Police Department before quickly going full time Hadley also has served the North Ogden and Huntsville police departments as well as the Weber County Sheriff’s Office Pleasant View CityPleasant View Police Chief Ryon Hadley “All of those agencies have been really good to work with,” he said Hadley said one of the biggest changes he’s seen in his five decades of law enforcement is how the job is carried out Now we dictate what society wants us to do Reflecting on his 10 years as chief in Pleasant View Hadley had praise for the city and its police department “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Pleasant View,” he said We’ve made some real changes in the 10 years It’s got its problems like any other city does it’s probably one of the more enjoyable police jobs I’ve had in my 50 years.” He said the position has come with its challenges over the last decade especially keeping up with ever-evolving legislation and policy these types of things — they’ve all changed a little bit and we’ve had to adapt to the new criteria,” he said “With everybody with cameras and cellphones now we’re held more accountable now than we’ve ever been before I don’t think the public understands how hard it is to do this job We’re scrutinized by the suspects we deal with and then we’re scrutinized by the public when they only see a portion of what went on with the video.” Hadley said some of these challenges have made it difficult to bring in new officers “Officers are getting discouraged that there’s more and more scrutiny to what they do,” he said There’s less and less people wanting to become police officers just for that very reason.” he said there’s still been a lot accomplished at the Pleasant View Police Department over the past decade “We created a K-9 program in the police department,” he said We’ve done a lot with community policing and school resource — we have an officer in Weber High School that also serves two elementary schools A lot of these have been implemented in the last 10 years that I’ve been here The citizens have generally been very supportive of their police.” ‘I think I might want to try and be a policeman for a while until I decide what I want to do,'” he said I’ve got a lot of making up to do with family for the long hours that I’ve put in.” WKRN News 2 String of car break-ins reported in Pleasant View, TN Rapper Kevin Gates is bringing his

feet After being hit by a semi-truck,” said Molly’s husband Curtis Leavitt It is an image he can’t get out of his head He was just a few minutes behind her that October day at the 2700 North on-ramp in the Ogden-Farr West area I was there when the helicopter landed and took off with her One of the toughest things anyone could ever experience.” “They didn’t think she would make it through the weekend,” Leavitt said Molly Leavitt surrounded by family in the hospital She got better, started walking and talking she got the final approval to go home to her house in Pleasant View a welcome feeling,” Molly Leavitt said just before leaving the hospital “I am a little nervous to go back to regular life As her husband pushed her in her wheelchair down the hallway one last time and other medical staff lined the hallway to cheer her on Molly got even more excited when she got to the main entrance doors and saw almost 50 of her friends waiting for her Many of them were holding “Molly Strong” signs while others clapped and cheered as soon as they saw her “Once you know her and you have her in your life we can’t imagine a world without her in it and we are grateful that she is here,” Jeni Phillips said Phillips became friends with Molly Leavitt when she was her daughter’s elementary school teacher a couple of years ago “She is a special person and we love her dearly,”

her house on October 13 when she heard a sound that she’s been dreading A truck ran a stop sign at the corner of Flynn Lane and England Boulevard in Missoula’s Pleasant View neighborhood forcing another car into a telephone pole and Rich’s front yard “It was horrifying just hearing that sound and I keep hearing it hearing the squealing brakes and the crunch of metal and the rev of the engine,” Rich said the city is working on development projects to better connect parts of town Two years ago, as part of the Mullan BUILD project “This is the third accident I've seen at this intersection since they opened England We didn't have any before that since we've been here talked about it and I would tell him ‘you know it's going to happen it's going to happen’ and the first time I heard it I just yelled out ‘it happened’ and I ran outside.” two cars nearly collided in the intersection after one blew through the stop sign on Flynn Lane Neighbors say this is a constant occurrence they say they regularly see drivers speeding ignoring stop signs and even drag racing at night “Actually a lot of us are concerned here in the neighborhood because it's a very quiet neighborhood and peaceful and calm There's been a big increase in the number of accidents and there's a through street that used to be a stop street and so now people are just racing through there without even stopping,” said Kathryn Hungerford Since the October 13 crash — which seriously injured one driver — neighborhood calls for the city to step in have grown louder “I think the surprise has been that all the planning looked so good on paper and now that it's in action “And we would just ask that it be looked at again.” City officials presented the results of a traffic engineering study to the neighborhood council leadership on October 17 and listened to public comments The study confirmed what the neighbors have been seeing on the ground: high speeds on England Public Works and Mobility director for the City of Missoula “What we want to do when we hear concerns is spend a little bit of time to really understand the problem before we start putting solutions out there,” Keene said see what's happening and then make some recommendations.” Keene said they are looking into options to calm speeds enforce the Flynn stop sign and move forward with feedback from residents are hoping the incident will at least lead to some positive change “I don't think it would take much to make this a much safer intersection I really hope it doesn't take deaths for that to happen Mount

“Station Closed” signs flanking the entrances serve as a reminder to potential commuters that this station hasn’t seen a FrontRunner train since 2018 and it will likely be a long time before it does — even with aspirations to extend the service north of its current Ogden terminus to Brigham City with the announcement of Salt Lake City’s official selection as host of the 2034 Winter Olympics the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) sent out a press release detailing improvement projects that will support the Games including “FrontRunner improvements to open up 15-minute and Sunday service.” No mention is made of the northward extension a southern expansion of FrontRunner from Provo to Payson is shown while northward expansion is simply a highlighted mark denoting “corridor preservation.” told the Standard-Examiner that this northward expansion hasn’t been forgotten about “We have purchased about 23 acres at BDO (Business Depot Ogden) just north of our current Ogden station with the intent to do a station stop as well as a TOD (transit-oriented development),” she said “Then we have our Pleasant View station that already is in existence What we’re doing right now is we’re coordinating with Union Pacific… to purchase corridor within their right-of-way so we’re trying to figure out how we can leverage some corridor funding to start purchasing some of that.” She said UTA has purchased around 60% of the corridor necessary between Ogden and Brigham City with some of it being in private hands at the moment “We’re working on getting that completed,” she said “I don’t necessarily have an exact timeline but the goal is to get it done by the 2030 range.” Holbrook thinks it could be 2050 or sometime later before the FrontRunner reaches Brigham City “That 2050-2060 range is where we’re focused on getting service to Brigham City,” she said Closer on the radar is double-tracking more of the network in order to help facilitate 15-minute and Sunday service Holbrook said this plan has seen some important boosts in the last year or two “The legislature has put about $370 million into the strategic double-tracking (project),” she said “We are on the federal budget for two years in a row roughly about $500 million on the federal side we are working through environmental and engineering We still have to purchase some right-of-way.” Eight sections of the line between Ogden and Provo will be double-tracked bringing the system from 26% double-tracked to 49% double-tracked This project is expected to be completed in 2030 visit
