VIVA – Kecelakaan yang dialami Wendy Red Velvet saat gladi resik acara SBS Gayo Daejeon 2019, Rabu, 25 Desember 2019 lalu, membuat banyak pihak terkejut. Wendy terjatuh dari panggung dan karenanya menderita sejumlah cedera yang cukup serius. Meski cedera yang ia alami tak mengancam nyawa, namun Wendy mengalami patah tulang di bagian pelvis kanan dan pergelangan tangannya. Tulang pipinya juga dilaporkan retak. Karena itu, ia saat ini masih berada di rumah sakit dan sedang menunggu evaluasi dokter mengenai cederanya. Baru-baru ini, Dispatch pun merilis detail mengenai kronologi kecelakaan yang menimpa Wendy. Informasi itu mereka dapat dari seorang staf lapangan yang bertugas saat kecelakaan itu terjadi.
Menurut sang starf, Wendy melakukan gladi resik pertama pada pukul 11.00 KST (waktu Korea Selatan) pada 25 Desember 2019 di panggung utama saat sound test dan sound check OST Aladdin , Speechless . Wendy lantas naik ke terowongan lantai dua panggung. "Dia bersiap untuk turun tangga saat menyanyikan lagu itu. Tapi tangganya tidak siap. Saat itu ia kehilangan keseimbangan dan terjatuh dari panggung," ucap staf itu, dikutip dari laman Allkpop , Jumat, 27 Desember 2019. Wendy Red Velvet kemudian melanjutkan kalau kondisi terowongan di lantai dua panggung gelap dan sempit. Tangganya pun tidak siap. Bahkan lampu yang menjadi penerang dan penanda pun belum tersedia.
"Jadi begitu kronologi dia jatuh dari ketinggian 2,5 meter," katanya menambahkan.
Setelah kecelakaan itu, sejumlah grup juga masuk ke terowongan itu untuk melanjutkan gladi resik. Namun, berita kecelakaan yang menimpa Wendy telah tersebar. "Dan semua grup yang tampil takut akan ketinggian," ujar staf yang sama. Para member Red Velvet lainnya dikabarkan sangat syok dengan kecelakaan Wendy.
Tak hanya itu, Dispatch juga mengungkapkan bahwa Wendy tampaknya akan membutuhkan waktu penyembuhan setidaknya selama enam bulan, setelah diagnosis cederanya dilakukan. Pelvis dan pergelangan tangan kanannya patah dan tulang pipinya diketahui retak. Dia juga dilaporkan menderita sejumlah luka di seluruh tubuhnya. Hal ini lah yang membuatnya diprediksi akan membutuhkan waktu beberapa bulan untuk sembuh. Menurut staf rumah sakit, bengkak dan cedera yang dialami Wendy Red Velvet juga cukup parah, sehingga dokter belum dapat memberikan diagnosis yang akurat saat ini. Jadi para dokter fokus pada penyembuhan Wendy secara perlahan sampai mereka bisa melakukan diagnosis dan rencana penyembuhan.

A group of about 30 attended the annual Christmas Bird Count at Glacier Ridge Metro Park in Plain City Tuesday. The National Audubon Society winter bird census helps track bird populations and foster fellowship among birders.
Sarah Hunter stopped dead in her tracks.
The winter wind hummed softly through the nearby trees like distant ocean waves. A small group of people gathered around her, winter coats and gloves swishing as they grabbed for their binoculars and pointed them up toward spindly, bare treetops.
Next, a shrill, quick, chirping rang out from the forest.
“Oh, red belly!” said Hunter, a naturalist leading the group for a bird count at Glacier Ridge Metro Park on Tuesday.
The annual Christmas Bird Count at the park in Plain City drew about 30 birders young and old. The event was one of many held or scheduled throughout the Western Hemisphere between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5 as part of the National Audubon Society’s 120th annual Christmas Bird Count. Participants count every bird they see or hear, giving an indication of the total number of birds within the designated count area that day.
For many who participate, the bird count is “citizen science” at its best.
“It's a huge operation, you know, it's nationwide. Citizen science is what it is,” said Paul Graham, a birder who has participated in and led bird counts for years. “People volunteer, come out and do this with the parks and the naturalists and the great system that we have now all over the country with situations like this.”
Knowing the bird populations in certain areas tells a lot about nearby spaces, birders said.
“They're the perfect mirror of what's going on with habitat change and urban environment change,” Graham said.
“This is really important because it shows trends,” said Christie Holmes, a longtime birder from the Far North Side. “Some species are thriving, some are decimated by loss of habitat.”
Windy conditions Tuesday morning meant less activity from birds, Hunter and other birders said. But that’s when their ears kicked in, listening for what Hunter described as the car-alarm-sounding call of a cardinal or “chicka-DEE-DEE-DEE” chirp of a chickadee.
“Birding by ear is really handy,” Hunter said as she stopped to listen for calls between howls of wind. “But it’s really hard.”
Tuesday marked the first bird count for 10-year-old Ethan Emery, of German Village, who earned his Metro Park Explorer patch by attending his fifth Metro Parks event of the year. He spotted some robins and a blue jay during the outing, and while he’s still learning how to identify birds by their sounds, “I can get a capped chickadee or a woodpecker,” he said confidently.
But even longtime birders continue to learn with each outing and bird count, said Graham, 63, of Worthington.
“People come who have been doing it for decades, like me,” he said. “I swear I learn something new every time I come out.”
It’s also an opportunity for fellowship and community, said Holmes, 62, between looks through her binoculars. (“Definite duckies,” she said as she eyed three mallards.)
More than 45 million people in the U.S. watch birds around their home and away from home, according to 2016 figures from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The group of about 10 following Hunter during Tuesday’s bird count were a mix of longtime birders and beginners. Some came to try something new or just to get some exercise, while others offered their binoculars, or “binos,” as they called them, to newbies searching in the trees.
As they counted the cardinals, American robins, wrens, ducks and goldfinches throughout the morning, they swapped recommendations for birding books and how to attract the tufted titmouse songbird to their home bird feeders.
“It's incredible,” said Holmes. “I've met people on the trails over the years that have become lifelong friends.”

Our crews were there as flames were seen shooting several feet above the home’s roof.
The plan has always been for Casey Smith to take over as Davidson County manager.
Former County Manager Zeb Hanner has repeatedly said that he returned to the county in 2015 with the objective of preparing Smith for the new role.
The commissioners approached Smith in the spring about becoming the manager. And since then, the county manager’s office has worked to create the transition.
Smith took his oath of office on Dec. 10. As far as doing the tasks of the job, Smith said he feels like he’s been ready for a long time.
“We’ve had a good run for the last four or five years,” Smith said. “We’ve had a lot of success in the county and I think the commissioners are aware of that and staff is aware of it. I’d like the folks in the community to know more about it. We’ve tried to go on offense and promote what we do.”
His annual salary is $168,000.
Smith, who was born in Guilford County, earned a bachelor’s degree in education and originally worked with children at the High Point Parks and Recreation Department.
He soon found himself gravitating toward a more governmental role. His family worked for the City of High Point, so he had the familiarity. It seemed like the best fit.
So Smith returned to school and earned a master’s degree in public administration from UNC-Greensboro.
He worked as a budget management analyst in High Point and Guilford and Wake counties.
In 2014, he took the next step in his career and became Davidson County’s new assistant county manager. He replaced Hanner at the time, who briefly left to become the Archdale city manager.
“I took a chance and applied,” Smith said. “I didn’t think they’d bring me in, but they did and I had to sell myself to (then county manager) Robert Hyatt at that point — ‘Look, this job is tailor-made for me, as well. It wasn’t just Zeb. I’m the second one in the world who fits this description.’”
Smith said that as he’s become more engaged in public service, he’s received more sense of a community — it’s not just him, his family and the four walls of his home.
He’s started to relish in that role.
“I’ve enjoyed that,” Smith said. “I want to be a part of this place, helping it be as good as it can be.”
Smith joked that in his mind, he tried to delay the idea of becoming county manager, but he knew that preparation was coming.
He described the Dec. 10 commissioners’ meeting — when Hanner officially stepped down — as a surreal moment.
“You realize it’s happening, but I’ve been working so much here lately that it all came on me at once,” Smith said. “Of course you have your family there, and we’re honoring (Hanner) at the same time so you get caught up in the emotions of it.”
In his five years with Davidson County, Smith said he’s learned to be patient and not react too quickly to any given issue.
He added that some problems require a more methodical approach.
“There’s times when you have to be a little more assertive and make a quick decision,” Smith said. “You have an emergency, you have things going on, but a lot of times, good planning will overcome just about anything. I preach that around here — get our folks to plan for any type of possibility.”
Heading into the future, Smith’s main goals are to seek economic development opportunities, move forward on major projects such as a new Davidson County Detention Center, attract and retain employees, continue succession planning in key leadership positions and advance the county’s investment in technology.
Smith noted that in order to smoothly achieve those goals, the county must provide transparency.
As the county moves forward, Smith said staff and leadership will telegraph where the county is headed, so everyone in the room — commissioners, residents and media — will know what the future holds.
“Everybody may not agree with which way I move, but at least they get to participate in the conversation, where we’re not up here doing things that nobody knows anything about,” Smith said. “I’ve learned those things from my two mentors (Hyatt and Hanner) along the years and we’ll continue to do that.”

Not surprisingly, The Dispatch, which decided months ago not to endorse President Trump for any reason, included a “down arrow” against him for allegedly dividing us (“These arrows take aim at 2019’s best, worst and might-have-beens,” Sunday editorial). Coupled with letters to the editor accusing Trump of obstruction of justice — not the charge against him — and shredding the Constitution, we have the local paper of record presenting a one-sided picture of a country that was in loving harmony until November 2016.
The fact is the same people who are now wrapping themselves up in the Constitution are on the front lines against the constitutionally mandated Electoral College because Hillary Clinton didn’t win.
And because she didn’t win, the calls for impeachment started immediately and protests became increasingly violent. And yet, the Dispatch editorial board points the finger at Trump for creating division. If we are divided, it is because we choose to be.

With bins set up for collection, Delaware County is completing a first-ever program to encourage recycling of holiday lights. All, including eight pallets-full from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, end up at Accurate IT, on Columbus’ West Side.
When the final twinkle is cast from your holiday lights, figuring out what to do with them can be difficult. Is there an afterlife for lights?
The Delaware County Health District doesn’t want them in landfills, so it has begun a program, "Recycle Right Holiday String Lights," to encourage reuse.
It has set up nine collection boxes at public libraries, along with the city of Delaware’s public services, public works offices and other locations.
While most of the lights will be non-working, donations of working, but older and less-efficient models, also are accepted.
"Some people are pulling off their old lights and switching them out with more energy-efficient LED. You might even have working lights," said Jenifer Way-Young, coordinator of Keep Delaware County Beautiful.
A tangle of used lights fills the typical collection box, each of which is emptied into a truck from Accurate IT, a recycling company for tech equipment based on Columbus’ West Side.
On its pickup rounds, the company also stops at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Powell.
Waiting there are 10 large crates filled with string lights that have burned out. Extended, that’s almost enough to encircle the 55-mile Interstate 270 Outerbelt.
Jack Knapp, chief information officer at Accurate IT, estimates that the haul from the zoo will be far more than what he collects from the entire rest of the county.
Unlike the cellphones, laptops or printers his company dissects for their valuable components, string lights have little value.
Accurate IT will ship them in bulk to an out-of-state processor, where industrial grinders will render them into their metal, plastic or glass components.
Knapp said the lights will likely generate a few hundred dollars in revenue, barely worth the effort.
"We do it as part of our social responsibility and commitment to keeping things out of the landfill," he said.
Officials at the the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio say they appreciate every effort to minimize landfill use.
"Recycling holiday lights correctly is important," said Hanna Greer-Brown, SWACO spokeswoman. Throwing them in with recyclables can cause tangles in recycling center equipment, so Greer-Brown said those with lights should use e-waste programs.
The Delaware County lights program runs through Thursday. But it will be followed by several other recycling events throughout the year.
Way-Young said those who miss the pickup deadline can hold onto their lights until the next one.
"I have a spot in my garage to round things up for the next collection date," she said.
