Good morning, Yuma.

This week the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission announced that Jeffrey Brady was posthumously awarded the Carnegie Medal for sacrificing his life by plunging into the Colorado River to save two children near Yuma nine months ago.

His family will honor him with a Hendo Foundation student athlete scholarship.

Recent record breaking heat has forced Yuma farmers to harvest summer crops up to a week early, causing oversupply and profit challenges, said Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association President Mike Pasquinelli, and upcoming summer crops are developing ahead of schedule.

A ridge of high pressure has kept Yuma warm with daily record highs expected through Saturday, while forecast changes point to increasing clouds, breezy conditions, and cooler temperatures next week during the Yuma County Fair.

Mitzi Pacheco, nurse practitioner at Exceptional Community Hospital in Yuma, explains that kidney stones can cause sharp pain, nausea, and blood in urine.

She advises that anyone with severe flank pain, fever, or difficulty urinating should seek emergency care (common reasons for ER visits).
