Corpus Christi, Texas

A Texas mother is facing charges following the death of her child who was left in a car during triple-digit temperatures.

The Corpus Christi Police Department said 33-year-old Hilda Adame was arrested in connection with the death of her nearly 2-year-old daughter Tuesday.

Police say she forgot to drop off her daughter at day care that morning and ended up leaving her in the back seat of her vehicle while she went to work.

According to authorities, officers were called to Adame’s work, Tom Browne Middle School, at about 1:30 p.m. regarding an infant who was left inside a vehicle.

KRIS reports that Adame’s daughter, Harley Adame, was left inside the parked vehicle from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. before Hilda Adame went back to her SUV and realized Harley was still inside.

The mother then took her daughter to the nurse’s office where they started CPR until medics arrived.

Harley was taken to the Driscoll Children’s Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly before 2 p.m.

Corpus Christi police said Hilda Adame was arrested on charges that included injury to a child and abandoning or endangering a child causing imminent bodily injury.

According to AccuWeather, the high temperature in Corpus Christi reached as high as 102 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday, including an excessive heat warning for the area.

‘It’s a ghost town’: Last remaining Denny’s in San Francisco closes after nearly 25 years

San Francisco

The last remaining Denny’s in the San Francisco area has closed.

After nearly 25 years in business, the 24-hour diner located near San Francisco’s Union Square closed Aug. 1, SFGate reported.

Franchise owner Chris Haque told the news outlet that ongoing vandalism contributed to their decision to close.

“We were the only store left, and we operated until the last day that we could,” Haque is quoted. “The cost of doing business is tremendous. There’s vandalism, and people come and eat and walk away, and there’s no one to stop them.”

Haque continued to say that the dine-and-dash issue just kept happening and cut into the restaurant’s profit margins.

The franchise owner will reportedly continue to run a Denny’s location in Tacoma, Washington. But the Union Square restaurant became the second Denny’s he has been forced to close.

Hague shared that he used to be the franchise owner of a Denny’s location in San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf before it closed in 2019.

Empty storefronts have become more of a frequent scene in the downtown San Francisco area over the last few years.

Such retailers as Uniqlo, Nordstrom Rack and Anthropologie have closed.

And the owner of Westfield San Francisco Centre, a fixture for more than 20 years, said it was handing the mall back to its lender, citing declining sales and foot traffic, The Associated Press reported last year.

“I’d stand outside my bar at 10 p.m. and look, it would be like a party on the street,” Jack Mogannam, manager of Sam’s Cable Car Lounge, told The AP. “Now you see, like, six people on the street up and down the block. It’s a ghost town.”

Willard, Utah

A father died while trying to save one of his sons from drowning at a lake in Utah over the weekend.

According to the Utah Division of State Parks, 38-year-old Andre Leon Debose was swimming and boating with his 17-year-old son at Willard Bay State Park last Saturday when the weather turned stormy.

Park officials said another swimmer, a 19-year-old woman, began to struggle in the water, and Debose’s son jumped in to help.

The woman was wearing a life jacket, and she was able to be brought aboard the boat safely.

However, the 17-year-old then began to struggle in the water before he could reboard. Upon seeing his son in distress, Debose jumped from the boat to help him.

The two only had one life jacket between them and were holding onto that while in the water.

Officials said Debose went under the water and did not resurface while his son was able to make it back to the boat.

Search and rescue teams immediately responded and launched a search operation to look for Debose.

His body was recovered from the water about seven hours later, authorities said.

“The Utah Division of State Parks extends our deepest condolences to Debose’s family and friends during this difficult time,” park officials shared. “We would also like to express our thanks to the agencies who assisted in the search and recovery efforts.”

Debose’s loved ones have started a GoFundMe since his death to help the family.

They said he was working as a plumber in Utah and a beloved single father to five children who range in age from 1 to 17 years old.

“This devastating loss has left Andre’s five children facing an unimaginable future without their devoted father,” his family shared. “Andre’s selfless act of love and courage will not be forgotten. He died as he lived - putting the needs of his family above his own.”

Wally Amos, creator of Famous Amos Cookies, dies at 88, reports say

The founder of Famous Amos cookies has died.

According to the New York Times, Wallace “Wally” Amos died at the age of 88 on Tuesday from complications of dementia.

Shawn and Sarah Amos, two of his children, shared that he died in his Honolulu home.

Amos is survived by four children and his wife Christine Harris Amos.

No further immediate information was made available from the family.

Wally previously told the New York Times that he started baking as a hobby before opening the Famous Amos Cookie Company on Sunset Boulevard in 1975.

People reports that Wally’s cookies became known for their natural ingredients with his baking company making $300,000 in its first year while reaching $12 million in revenue in its first five years.

However, Wally ended up selling Famous Amos for $3 million in 1988 after reportedly running into financial troubles. He lost the use of his name and his image.

But Wally did not stay out of the kitchen, selling baked goods under other names such as Uncle Wally’s Muffins, the Cookie Kahuna, and most recently Aunt Della’s Cookies.

Before his baking days, Wally also reportedly worked at a talent agency for many years signing such superstar acts as Simon and Garfunkel and The Supremes.

Manufacturer recalls thousands of cans of formula due to elevated levels of vitamin D

A manufacturer has issued a voluntary recall for thousands of its infant formula cans after routine testing revealed excessive levels of vitamin D.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Perrigo Company issued the recall for 16,500 cans of store-brand Premium Infant Formula with Iron Milk-Based Powder.

The recall says the formula contains levels of vitamin D that are above the maximum level permitted.

The recall affects cans of formula that were shipped to H-E-B and CVS stores across 12 states.

Officials said the recalled product was sent to stores in New Jersey, Texas, Florida, California, South Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Missouri.

The formula sold at CVS carries the lot code T11LMXC with a use-by date of Nov. 11, 2025.

At H-E-B, the affected formula carries the lot codes T11LMXC with a use-by date of Nov. 11, 2025, and T09LMXC with a use-by date of Nov. 9, 2025.

Perrigo said it has notified both retailers to remove the product from their shelves and warehouses.

There have been no immediate reports of adverse reactions attributed to the elevated levels of vitamin D, company officials said.

According to the FDA, consuming excessive amounts of vitamin D is unlikely to cause adverse health implications for the majority of infants, but some could suffer health complications due to the recalled product.

According to the Mayo Clinic, infants under 12 months need 400 IU of vitamin D daily to support bone development.

If infants experience any symptoms while using the product, consumers have been urged to contact the FDA’s MedWatch program along with their healthcare provider.

Any further questions or concerns regarding the recall can be communicated to Perrigo Consumer Affairs at 1-800-538-9543.
