With the end of the winter season, the eye of the surfing world has begun to stray from the shores of Hawai’i, but local die-hards are still making the most of spring waves. The latest to do so was Mason Ho who just published a punchy edit of a Rocky Point session father Michael and lifelong friend Baby Bear some of the surf on tap was more fun-sized than terror-inducing but there were still more than a few bombs to be had As always, the edit was accompanied by samples from Mason’s eclectic and inimitable music collection, and a breakdown of the boards he was riding – a pair of psychedelic-colored …Lost craft that received an absolute beating at the hands of Mason’s “safety last” stylings spokesperson for Puerto Peñasco’s tourism department told AZPM that every foreigner coming into the country must have a Forma Migratoria Múltiple people who regularly travel to Rocky Point were randomly asked for it by the authorities on the Mexican side,” she said in Spanish While tourists are already required to have it she says authorities are less likely to ask for it until May it is very likely that not everyone will be asked for it,” she said it is crucial to keep in mind that this document must be carried by all foreigners traveling to another country." She says the immigration authorities have agreed to hold off on complete enforcement during the rest of March and April but tourists should keep in mind that the document is required The FMM form is available on Mexico's immigration website and should be stamped by Mexican Customs authorities when crossing the border It is free for less than a week and costs $40 for more 2025 at 1:47 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Arson Squad detectives are investigating a fire that broke out at TC Auto Center in Rocky Point on Tuesday night NY — Arson Squad detectives are investigating a fire that broke out at TC Auto Center in Rocky Point on Tuesday night The fire started at the Eagle Road business at around 6:35 p.m. It was not the only fire to break out nearby on Tuesday night The Port Jefferson Fire Department responded to a fire at a business on Main Street in Port Jefferson just after 8 p.m. A stove fire also broke out at a home on Sandpiper Lane in Centereach just after 8 p.m. the Arson Squad did not respond to those locations Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.

Of course, there were day trips to Newport and Narragansett, ferry rides to Block Island, days at the beach, visits to Lincoln Woods, hanging out with friends on Thayer Street in Providence after school, apple picking at Jaswell's Farm, etc. And then there were those summertime trips to Rhode Island's one and only amusement park—Rocky Point. but I can't even recreate these memories as an adult Rocky Point closed for good in the mid-1990s the property where the amusement park once stood is now a state park The property of Rocky Point Amusement Park has a longstanding history It was first opened in the 1840s and became a popular destination along Narragansett Bay starting with a ferry pier and shore dinners and then a few amusement rides were added a few years later Photo by Melissa MahoneyIn the 1950s through 1995, Rocky Point Amusement Park became the go-to place for summer fun for Rhode Islanders. Those of us who grew up within that timeframe hold fond family memories of trips to this amusement park. For some, a day at Rocky Point was an annual summertime trip filled with thrilling rides and a visit to the park's Shore Dinner Hall for clam cakes and chowder. Rhode Islanders suffered a devastating blow when Rocky Point Amusement Park was shut down permanently The owners took out loans on the property to fund other business ventures and couldn't repay the bank when my mom and I visited Prince Edward Island in Canada several years ago This amusement park had purchased Rocky Point's Cyclone Rollercoaster I was able to take a picture of this amusement park ride While The Cyclone was no longer in Rhode Island it still made me happy to know that it's creating memories for new generations in Canada there's now a large green space complete with ghostly remnants of certain rides that nature is reclaiming Jessica Matusiak/AllTrailsThroughout the park interpretive signs state what structure or ride once stood there Coming here as an adult is a trip down memory lane and reading the signs takes me back to the thrill of a summertime day trip to Rocky Point I can almost hear the screams of those on the rollercoasters and feel the joy and laughter that we all experienced at the beloved amusement park that once was Choose your stateAlabamaAlaskaArizonaArkansasNorthern CaliforniaSouthern CaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingSubscribe...

Idaho Transportation Department The Idaho Transportation Department recently secured $20.8 million in grant funding to build three wildlife underpasses near Montpelier These improvements will increase drivers’ safety on U.S Highway 30 at Rocky Point between Montpelier and the Wyoming border The project aims to mitigate wildlife-vehicle conflict points with wildlife underpasses built where the highway crosses a regional mule deer migration route This 20-mile section of US-30 can incur more than 100 mule deer collisions with vehicles each year with about 70% of those carcasses being reported in the four-mile section (milepost 443-447) known as Rocky Point Besides making the highway safer for drivers the new structures will protect the migration corridor and ensure connectivity between crucial seasonal mule deer habitat The three wildlife underpasses will be coupled with about 6 road miles of 8-foot-tall wildlife fencing to “funnel” migrating wildlife toward the underpasses The funding is part of $125 million in federal grants also announced in December for wildlife crossing projects in 16 states “We are excited to get this project fully-funded and built,” Environmental Planner Alissa Salmore said “Local citizens and our Montpelier crew have been asking for a solution here for decades It will be good to finally deliver this project with key contributions from the ITD team and Idaho Fish and Game as a partner agency developed the application package for submittal to the FHWA Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program over the past year The grant covers about 98% of the construction costs for the trio of underpasses Department of Agriculture will fund a portion of the fencing to connect two of the structures in the heart of the mule deer travel route There are significant benefits to the project beyond ITD’s interest Idaho Fish and Game also has a strong interest in resolving the conflict between the highway traffic and the regional Bear Lake Plateau mule deer herd’s migration path The Bear Lake Plateau mule deer herd is a key piece of southeastern Idaho’s economy bringing thousands of hunters and wildlife enthusiasts to stay and recreate in the area every year The mule deer migration encompasses parts of Wyoming and Utah as well as Idaho so those states will also see a benefit from reducing the wildlife-vehicle collision rate at Rocky Point more than one million wildlife-vehicle collisions are estimated to impact motorists and wildlife in the U.S Wildlife-vehicle collisions involving large animals result in approximately 200 human fatalities and 26,000 injuries to drivers and their passengers each year These collisions also cost the public more than $10 billion annually Highways can threaten wildlife populations by fragmenting habitats and causing mortality due to wildlife-vehicle collisions Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInROCKY POINT (WECT) - A more than 600-acre wildfire in Pender County on N.C WECT was previously told by the Pender County Fire Marshal’s Office that the cause of the fire was a controlled burn officials stated later on April 21 that the cause is still under investigation by the North Carolina Forest Service but not before neighbors were forced to evacuate their homes on Saturday Shawana Rivas and her family moved into their house in Pender County a few months ago but this fire over the weekend nearly took it all away We had neighbors that lived down here that were home and were like ‘did you get clothes?’ and I was like we had nothing,” said Rivas She was told to evacuate when she was heading home from church Rivas recalls seeing the ash falling even though she was still a mile away from her house and I was telling the officer just let me go home and check on him because for a moment he was not answering the phone and I was worried because he has asthma,” said Rivas Though there were no injuries reported or homes lost Rivas pleads for others to keep their neighbors in mind when burning but your neighbors and people miles away from you because of the large amount of land that burned,” said Rivas Forestry Service (NCFS) crews were able to contain the fire with better mapping and strong containment lines The fire will continue to smoke and smolder until adequate precipitation happens and the NCFS is continuing to monitor the fire by ground personnel and aircraft “All agencies provided support at the utmost level of professionalism and property without any injuries or homes lost Conditions remain favorable for wildfire activity,” a N.C Forestry Service representative said in a statement Fire crews say people on Ashton Road at Ashton Crossroads and McCrary Road are safe to return home fire crews said people living on Ashton Road and McCrary Road needed to evacuate Neighbors were asked to go to Heide Trask High School Several fire crews were on the scene of a large wildfire in Rocky Point Saturday for most of the

Visions Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton These Eagles soared higher than ever before The Rocky Point cheerleading team secured its second state championship with the highest score of the morning session at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton earning an 87.90 to claim the class B competitive crown “Every stunt we hit gave us more motivation to keep going,” senior flyer Ella Reisinger said From winning six of seven county competitions to experiencing defeat at a regional championship the Eagles were determined to turn every moment into motivation for success “A few things didn’t work out this season that we hoped but we were motivated to work harder and show everyone we could keep going,” Reisinger said “We felt that defeat a few times this season and we didn’t want it in our last time on the mat.” No one hurdled a more difficult obstacle than senior flyer Callie Russell a week before the UCA national championship she was back on the mat for the state championship “I trusted the girls and people that were in every spot and we’re all a family and motivated each other to push through,” Russell said I couldn’t have done it without my teammates.” The team’s motivation was also shaped by the loss they endured last season at the county championship where Rocky Point finished shy of a state championship appearance by 0.1 point “We dreamed of that moment of winning a state title since the beginning of the season,” Russell said “We had the mindset of just having fun and enjoying our last moment of the year but we used the losses and turned them into motivation to be better and show our best." The last time Rocky Point earned a state championship title was in 2019 when coach Samantha Ferrara was a flyer on the Eagles squad who returned last year as the Eagles' coach couldn’t have been prouder of her team’s growth “They were not stopping until they completed their goal and I had the feeling they did it watching the finals,” Ferrara said “Doing it as a coach is the greatest feeling because you’re so proud they get to feel what you felt.” With six of the 17 squad members being seniors they hope their state title will ignite a flame in the underclassmen to continue soaring to new heights “I think it was really important to reassure everyone that we were all capable of doing it and they know they can do it again,” Reisinger said “All of the feelings they experienced along the way will give them drive in the upcoming seasons to come back even stronger.” The Newsday app makes it easier to access content without having to log in Unlimited Digital AccessOnly 25¢for 6 months

nickname “Breezy,” Brianna Henke helped the Rocky Point girls lacrosse team lock down a pivotal 5-4 road victory in Suffolk League II play on Thursday afternoon The University of Massachusetts Amherst commit made eight saves in net for Rocky Point (4-1) including three crucial stops in the fourth quarter Halfway through the fourth quarter with Rocky Point leading by just a goal Henke saved consecutive free-position shots from Mount Sinai within 30 seconds of each other Mount Sinai moved the ball effectively in the eight-meter arc and created a good look from the right side but Henke dropped to a knee to deflect a low shot and save the day just not let it get to my head and play my game,” Henke said knowing that if they score and the game is tied junior midfielder Kaleigh Moeller — who scored two goals in the first quarter — scooped up the ground ball and pushed it up the field to sophomore defender Teagan Trentowski to set up the successful clear Watching Trentowski cross midfield and essentially ice the game allowed Henke to bask in the moment after this back-and-forth battle of a game and not scoring for a quarter knowing that we just beat them,” Henke said Neither team scored in the second or fourth quarters Rocky Point attacker Cadence Adamo caught a feed at the right top of the 12-meter arc and fired it into the back of the net to tie the game faked out the goalie on the left doorstep and fired it in to give the Eagles the lead for good “It does feel really good that I helped bring my team to success today,” Adamo said Other contributors to the win were

saved seven shots Travelers headed toward the popular beach destination of Puerto Peñasco might see long wait times because of heightened security measures at the Lukeville Port of Entry After Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum deployed 10,000 National Guardsmen to reinforce the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the “Operativo Frontera Norte” mission troops stationed across the border began inspecting more and more vehicles crossing in and out of Mexico About 200 soldiers were sent to the border town of Sonoyta, part of a collective of 1,500 Guardsmen distributed across the state of Sonora Sheinbaum agreed to reinforce the border with additional military personnel to postpone President Donald Trump’s plans to impose duties on imports from Mexico Those troops have been tasked with preventing drug-trafficking from Mexico to the United States by conducting a variety of security operations including helping Mexican Customs officers at ports of entry Several people have shared their experiences with the changes at the land border crossing online in a Facebook group centered around the Mexico beach destination Some who have posted in "Rocky Point Friends" over the last few weeks said they waited for more than two hours to cross into Mexico Others caution that wait times vary significantly and that individual experiences depend on the time of day The Arizona Republic reached out to several members of the group for this story “Sometimes you'll experience some of those larger lines because the controlling processes in Mexico has been increased,” Rafael Barceló Durazo “But that's something I would say that's contingent on the time when you're crossing.” Durazo emphasized that the Mexican government has not changed its policies regulating American travelers in response to the Trump administration’s threat of tariffs on Mexican goods “There's been fake news on social media saying that President Sheinbaum announced that the U.S citizens should have a visa in order to get into Mexico as tourists The latest immigration numbers: Deportations; Border crossings; DACA; Visas and more including the rules around the "Forma Migratoria Múltiple," have remained the same The operational hours for the Port of Entry in Lukeville recently were extended after Dr Customs and Border Protection’s director of the port of Lukeville Travelers crossing into Mexico have also been asked to present their "Forma Migratoria Múltiple," an immigration document colloquially called a "tourist card." “It's just registering your entrance into Mexico," Durazo explained to prove that your passport was controlled when you got into Mexico." Visitors who plan to go further into Mexico than the border region and will be in the country for more than seven days should get the FMM The Instituto Nacional de Migración is responsible for issuing the "Forma Migratoria Múltiple." To acquire the FMM, individuals must fill out an application online or at the border crossing's local INM less than $30 in American currency as of the end of February 2025 Cordova takes visitors across destinations along the Gulf of California and further into the interior of Mexico Cordova took seven American tourists to the popular whale-watching town of Guerrero Negro in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur He encountered multiple military checkpoints on the way including one where Mexican officials told him that his clients did not have an entry stamp into Mexico "After talking to him for about 30 mins he basically told me that I was transporting illegals and that they can get deported pay a hefty find and possibly go to jail," Cordova wrote in a Facebook post Cordova now asks that all of his clients obtain proper documentation before going on any trips "I strongly suggest you get it just in case because you just never know," Cordova said Have any news tips or story ideas about the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona?
