Santa Barbara Middle School students make waves with boat building project

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.— After a year in their weekly boat making class, a handful of Santa Barbara Middle School kids are finally ready to set sail.    “ When you're in a small boat, the wildlife that comes up to you or the birds that fly over the top of you, you're right there with them,” said Carpinteria Boat Works Owner Eric Bridgeford.

Even though the Santa Barbara Channel might be uncharted waters for many students— this immersive learning experience is part of their daily education.    “ We have kids building catapults with our own hands so they can learn about physics. Kids have learned how to shape surfboards from scratch with local shapers so they can learn about not just surfing in their performance, but how the water works,” said Santa Barbara Middle School Principal Brian McWilliams.

The boat making elective is a masterclass in engineering—bringing physics, construction, and tech to life.     “They actually know now that they have the agency to create their own reality. They can make their own fun and they can have their own adventure and not just be consumers of it,” said McWilliams.    This boat building elective has allowed kids to channel their inner architect.      “We started off with a lot of slabs of wood and we connected them all together with epoxy, and we would have many different pieces that you'd have to build the hull with and the seats, and we'd send all of it down to make it rounded and smooth for the boxing,” said Santa Barbara Middle School 8th grade student Aiden McNellis.

The experience is a lesson in patience and perseverance.    “Don't give up when things get tough because there were a lot of points. When I was like, I don't know if I want to do this anymore, but I managed to get through them and continue working on the boat,” said McNellis.   The next adventure will include the entire middle school.    In two weeks students will be heading to San Simeon for an outdoor adventure where they will cycle over 100 miles.

Disney Wins Property Lawsuit, Resulting in Nearly $100 Million Settlement Impacting Public Schools

in Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World Resort has won a long-lasting lawsuit impacting Orange County public schools.

But before we jump into that, let’s see how The Walt Disney Company has dealt with lawsuits in the past.

Disney Is Not New to Lawsuits

Walt Disney World Resort, a beloved destination for millions, has encountered its fair share of legal challenges throughout history. The theme park has been the subject of numerous lawsuits, ranging from personal injury claims to labor disputes. While these legal issues can sometimes tarnish its reputation, Disney employs a robust legal framework to ensure professionalism and compliance with the law.

One of the most notable aspects of Disney’s approach to legal challenges is its emphasis on risk management . The company has a dedicated legal team that actively works to minimize potential liabilities. This team assesses attractions, entertainment, and operational procedures to identify potential risks before they escalate into legal disputes.

By fostering a culture of safety and compliance, Disney seeks to protect its guests and employees while mitigating the risk of litigation. When faced with lawsuits, Disney typically opts for a strategy emphasizing resolution and negotiation rather than aggressive litigation. The company recognizes that public perception is crucial to its brand image.

Therefore, resolving disputes amicably can often prevent negative media coverage and restore goodwill among its guests. Disney frequently engages in mediation or settlement negotiations, which allows both parties to reach an agreement without the prolonged scrutiny of a public trial. Moreover, Disney’s legal team ensures that all operations adhere to industry regulations and standards.

This includes regular audits and compliance checks across various departments. By staying informed about changes in laws and regulations, Disney can adapt its policies accordingly, ensuring that the company remains on the right side of the law. In addition to these measures, Disney also invests heavily in employee training .

Staff members are educated on legal protocols, safety procedures , and guest relations, which fosters a professional environment that prioritizes both guest safety and legal compliance. By instilling a sense of responsibility among employees, Disney enhances its operational professionalism and cultivates a culture where legal adherence is a shared value.

The House of Mouse Wins Major Lawsuit Against Orange County Public Schools

In summary, while Disney World has faced numerous lawsuits over the years, the company’s proactive measures—ranging from risk management and conflict resolution to stringent compliance and employee training—underscore its commitment to professionalism and legal adherence. This multifaceted approach protects the company’s reputation and reinforces its dedication to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests.

Walt Disney World has recently celebrated a significant legal victory, winning a years-long lawsuit that could entitle the company to recover up to $80 million in tax refunds from the Orange County Public Schools. The lawsuit centered around overvaluing property taxes on Disney’s resorts and other properties, mainly the Yacht & Beach Club hotel and convention center.

According to a report from the Orlando Sentinel , the ruling by Judge Thomas W. Turner declared that the previous assessments made by then-Orange County Property Appraiser Rick Singh were “unconstitutional and invalid.”

The controversy arose when Singh’s assessments attributed excessive value to Disney’s property by factoring in intangible assets like the value of the Disney brand, its managerial capabilities, and the workforce. As a result, the assessed value of the Yacht & Beach Club surged by 118% within a single year, prompting Disney to initiate annual lawsuits against the sitting property appraiser. This tradition has continued since 2015.

Although the latest ruling pertains explicitly to tax years 2015 and 2016, the underlying arguments regarding illegal value determination have informed subsequent lawsuits. In 2023 alone, Disney filed a dozen lawsuits against the Orange County Property Appraiser, challenging inflated assessed values across its theme parks and hotels.

Following Singh’s departure in 2020, Amy Mercado took over but continued to use a methodology that Disney contends perpetuates overcharging. Despite Mercado’s defense that the earlier adjustments were justified due to years of artificially low assessments, Disney remains committed to contesting these valuations.

Currently, the exact amount of the potential refund is still being calculated. Still, Scott Randolph, the current Orange County Property Appraiser, estimates that Disney could recover approximately $2 million for the Yacht & Beach Club alone. If the ruling’s implications extend to Disney World’s properties, the total could escalate to $80 million or more, especially if it applies retroactively to prior years. Complications arise regarding which entities will be responsible for providing these refunds.

Most of the improperly collected funds have gone to the Orange County Public Schools. Florida law stipulates that commercial property tax assessments cannot increase by more than 10% annually unless the assessing authority is a school district. Thus, the schools could be liable for a substantial portion of the refunds.

Randolph has been proactive in notifying school officials about the potential financial repercussions, and it’s reported that the school system has been setting aside funds in anticipation of a likely unfavorable outcome.

The improperly collected property taxes could be significant enough to construct three new elementary schools. The issue of Disney’s property taxes became a contentious topic, especially following Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s takeover of the former Reedy Creek Improvement District. DeSantis and Central Florida Tourism Oversight District members previously claimed that Disney was not contributing its fair share in taxes.

However, it’s essential to recognize that Disney met its tax obligations and was subjected to inflated assessments. In fiscal year 2022 alone, Disney reported paying $1.1 billion in state and local taxes, underscoring the complexity of the tax dispute and the ongoing impact of this legal battle on the theme park giant.

Suspect arrested after missing school janitor was found dismembered near a boat ramp.

A Michigan man is behind bars after being arrested for the murder of a missing school janitor whose dismembered body parts were found near a boat ramp in Bay City.

Robert Dale Tweedly Jr., 40, is charged with one count of open murder and one count of moving and mutilation of a corpse in connection to the death of  41-year-old Justie Stilwell.

Stilwell was reported missing by his family on September 18 after he failed to show up to work at Handy Middle School in Bay City.

The same day, police responded to the Edward Golson Boat Launch after a teenager spotted a severed foot in the Saginaw River. Police later found Stilwell’s arms and the lower parts of his legs in the water.

The body parts were identified as belonging to Stilwell through fingerprint identification.

It’s unclear if the two men knew each other. A motive for the killing is not known at this time.

Stilwell’s disappearance and death have been unsettling in Bay City, located about 112 miles northwest of Detroit, where he worked at Handy Middle School.

“Justie was a valued member of our Handy family, and we know that this loss will be felt deeply by many,” the Bay City school district said in a statement.

Renee Griebe said Stilwell was a regular customer at her hair salon.

“He was more quiet, more not social, kind of had to draw things out to get him to talk to me during haircut services and stuff like that,” Griebe told WNEM -TV.

“He was just always kind. I can’t imagine something like this happening to him.”

On Friday, Tweedly appeared remotely from the Bay County Jail before District Judge Mark Janer and pleaded not guilty to both charges.

He is being held at the jail on a $1 million bond.
