| Downtown Anchorage is getting a protected bike lane for a safer summer Most of Anchorage's iconic Sixth Avenue is a three-lane, one-way road lined with sidewalks on both sides. Pedestrians, city buses and regular cars all use it. Cyclists? Not so much. "If I'm biking downtown, I don't bike on Sixth Avenue," said Emily Weiser, president of the nonprofit Bike Anchorage. "Because it's way too big, full of traffic and you're not allowed to bike on sidewalks." A temporary experiment this summer aims to make biking downtown safer and might boost business, too. This week, city workers are converting one of the vehicle lanes of Sixth Avenue into a two-way, protected bike lane in the latest phase of a federally funded transportation research experiment. The nonprofit Weiser leads has been working with state and city transportation officials on the project. ALASKA PUBLIC MEDIA PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Fire rips through horse stables in Massachusetts A six-alarm fire on Thursday night destroyed several buildings that were part of a Templeton, Massachusetts, horse farm, video from the scene showed. Fire tore through several buildings at the Liberty-Belle Stables on Patriots Road in Templeton. Templeton firefighters rushed to the scene after receiving reports of heavy fire in the area between the house and the horse barn. "First arriving, crews did a very, very good job getting the horses out safely," Deputy Chief Rick Paine with the Templeton Fire Department said. "All the horses were accounted for." Paine said the flames very quickly spread to the first barn and worked their way into the riding stable. Paine said flames were shooting 40 to 50 feet in the air, along with intense heat. "Both horse farms in the riding arena were a total loss," Paine said. WCVB-TV ABC 5 BOSTON Firefighting named most physically demanding job by Bureau of Labor Statistics Many firefighters enter the profession because of their passion of helping and serving others, but according to research, they're doing it at the risk of their own health and safety. "I'll be honest, I wasn't very surprised. I've been in the profession for 24 years now and not in a sense of comparing it to others, but I just know the demands that come along with it," said Shreveport firefighter Brandon Lee. Firefighting is the most physically demanding job in the country. That's according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracked the physical requirements of about 480 jobs at more than 56,000 workplaces. "I think they've shown studies before where even just a 30-minute time frame, the type of work we do equates to a seven- or eight-hour work time frame for the average physical activity," said Caddo Fire District 4 Chief Chad Falls. KTBS-TV ABC 3 SHREVEPORT South Carolina: What's next for Columbia's biggest fire hydrant? VIDEO: The Busted Plug sculpture - one of city's most known landmarks - still hasn't been relocated. The 40-foot metal fire hydrant was created by well known Columbia artist, Blue Sky, but was taken down with little indication on where it would be put next. In February of last year, the city of Columbia commissioned a construction company called McClam & Associates to remove the sculpture off Taylor Street and keep it in storage until the city decided what they were going to do with it. "We aren't being paid to leave it on our property, we are just allowing the city to leave it here until they move it. I haven't been told where they will put it, but I am told they will be relocating it," said Rusty McClam, the president of the company. WIS-TV NBC/CW 10 COLUMBIA Survey says 1 in 4 Floridians would ignore hurricane evacuation warnings VIDEO: One in four Floridians would ignore hurricane evacuation warnings, according to a new AAA survey. Hurricane season starts Saturday and forecasters predict it could be one of the busiest on record. Preparation is key during hurricane season, which includes knowing your evacuation route. But most people also say they would only evacuate for a Category 3 storm or stronger. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasters predict this Atlantic hurricane season will be above average. They say unprecedented ocean heat and a brewing La Nina are factors. A new AAA survey says a quarter of people living in Florida would not evacuate if a hurricane was approaching. The top reasons include people wanting to stay and fix any damage to their home or property, belief that a storm would turn away from their direction and that they would not know where to go.
