Brenda Suddeth began fostering and rescuing animals with the Humane Society of Cherokee County, where she volunteered for over 15 years. At the time, HSCC had limited space for cats, and she decided to take on the responsibility of rescuing cats and kittens, including getting them spayed and neutered and socializing them. This led her to get a rescue license from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture. “I was called one cat and one dog short of crazy,” Suddeth said. Despite a breast cancer diagnosis, she never stopped caring for animals, but she had to slow down during her treatment. Now in remission, Suddeth continues her efforts, but she now takes on more of a “networking” role, connecting people to other rescues or individuals who can help animals. “I get a lot of cruelty calls, about animals that need help,” Suddeth said. “And I have a page on Facebook, where people will reach out.” She does not work alone, but has several friends and a handful of volunteers who help her. “I would get a load of puppies, foster them, and find a rescue to adopt the puppies out,” Suddeth said. Suddeth said she used to help transport animals to metropolitan cities like Tulsa or Oklahoma City, or even sometimes to other states, like Kansas. Now, she lets other volunteers handle the long drives, while she makes arrangements. “It’s really getting hard now to get animals moved,” Suddeth said. “I get on Facebook, I network, and get ahold of rescues, and help arrange transport for them.” Another way Suddeth uses social media is to help individuals in emergencies find food or other supplies they may need for their animals. She said some may need help with vet costs. “A lot of people will donate to fund these efforts,” Suddeth said. She described the rescue work as like having a job she doesn’t get paid for. “Sometimes I get 15 calls a day, and that will mean I spend all day on my phone trying to find help for those animals,” she said. In addition to cats and dogs, Suddeth said she’s also received calls about horses, and she said she does the best she can. Throughout the winter season, Suddeth said, she receives donations of doghouses she is able to give out to those in need. She also gives out flea and tick medication for dogs all year. Suddeth said she has rescued over 60 cats and fostered over 40 puppies in her 22 years of rescue work. Many cats still live in her home, where she has a cat room, and an enclosed “catio” for them. “They are like kids. They make messes and knock stuff over,” Suddeth said. “I raised six kids, and they are like raising kids all over again.” Outside of her rescue work, Suddeth said, she enjoys shopping at thrift stores. “I just like to look at stuff, and see what other people have discarded,” she said.

The list of nominees includes some of the biggest names in film and television, with surprises and snubs causing a stir in the entertainment world.By JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. What happened at Enron? Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. Is Enron coming back? On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron’s new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand’s tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. What do former Enron employees think of the company’s return? Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70WASHINGTON (AP) — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide Tuesday due to a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne about one hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop, which prevented planes from taking off. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 1,447 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed Tuesday, with 28 flights canceled. Aviation analytics company Cirium said Dallas-Fort Worth and Charlotte, North Carolina, saw the greatest number of delays. Washington, New York, Chicago and Miami experienced considerably fewer delays. Significant rain and snow was expected in the Pacific Northwest at least into Christmas Day. Showers and thunderstorms were developing in the South. Freezing rain was reported in the Mid-Atlantic region near Baltimore and Washington, and snow was falling in New York. Because the holiday travel period lasts weeks, airports and airlines typically have smaller peak days than they do during the rush around Thanksgiving, but the grind of one hectic day followed by another takes a toll on flight crews. And any hiccups — a winter storm or a computer outage — can snowball into massive disruptions. That is how Southwest Airlines stranded 2 million travelers in December 2022, and Delta Air Lines suffered a smaller but significant meltdown after a worldwide technology outage in July caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations even more disruptive than during slower periods. That is especially true for smaller budget airlines that have fewer flights and fewer options for rebooking passengers. Only the largest airlines, including American, Delta and United, have “interline agreements” that let them put stranded customers on another carrier’s flights. This will be the first holiday season since a Transportation Department rule took effect that requires airlines to give customers an automatic cash refund for a canceled or significantly delayed flight. Most air travelers were already eligible for refunds, but they often had to request them. Passengers still can ask to get rebooked, which is often a better option than a refund during peak travel periods. That’s because finding a last-minute flight on another airline tends to be expensive. Just before 7 a.m. Eastern time, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered all American Airlines flights grounded in the U.S. at the airline’s request. American had reported technical trouble affecting its entire system. American said in an email that the problem was caused by a vendor technology issue that “impacted systems needed to release flights.” An airline spokesperson said Tuesday was not a peak travel day for the airline — with about 2,000 fewer flights than the busiest days — so the airline has somewhat of a buffer to manage the delays. Cirium said American had 3,320 domestic flights scheduled for Tuesday, and 581 international departures from or returning to the U.S. from abroad. The groundings happened as millions of travelers were expected to fly over the next 10 days. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 40 million passengers through Jan. 2. Airlines expect to have their busiest days on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations more disruptive than during slower periods. Even with just a brief outage, the cancellations have a cascading effect that can take days to clear up. About 90% of Americans traveling far from home over the holidays will be in cars, according to AAA. “Airline travel is just really high right now, but most people do drive to their destinations, and that is true for every holiday,” AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said. Gasoline prices are similar to last year. The nationwide average Thursday was $3.04 a gallon, down from $3.13 a year ago, according to AAA. Charging an electric vehicle averages just under 35 cents per per kilowatt hour, but varies by state. Transportation-data firm INRIX says travel times on the nation’s highways could be up to 30% longer than normal over the holidays, with Sunday expected to see the heaviest traffic. Boston, New York City, Seattle and Washington are the metropolitan areas primed for the greatest delays, according to the company. —— Associated Press writers David Koenig, Mae Anderson and Mike Pesoli contributed to this report.

Tension is already brewing in the I'm A Celebrity camp, and eagle-eyed viewers have taken notice. On Thursday night, Dean McCullough, a BBC Radio One presenter, embarked on his third trial of the series, seeking redemption after his previous attempts yielded disappointing results. In his first trial, he cried out "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! " and failed to secure any stars in his second challenge alongside social media personality GK Barry. Dean's goal for Thursday's trial was to secure a satisfying meal for the camp, but things didn't quite go as planned. He participated in the Lethal Lab trial, where he had to use his mouth to release stars while his head was enclosed in boxes filled with creepy crawlies. Ultimately, Dean managed to collect four stars before deciding to quit the trial when confronted with a box filled with fish guts. Upon returning to camp, Dean seemed elated with his four-star achievement and was met with praise from his fellow campmates. However, viewers observed that McFly's Danny Jones appeared unimpressed, failing to crack a smile or offer any words of encouragement, reports the Mirror . Fans of the show sympathized with Danny's apparent frustration, with one commenting: "Danny is absolutely not impressed." Another viewer noted: "Oop Danny does not look pleased." A third observer stated: "I think Danny is p***ed off which is completely understandable." A fourth fan wrote: "Danny McFly looks like he wants to kill him. Not buying his 4-star bulls**t at all." Another fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "Danny didn't look too impressed at failing at fishguts." I'm A Celebrity viewers have rallied around I'm A Celebrity contestant Dean Gaffney, urging others to stop voting for him to participate in the gruelling Bushtucker Trials. Following his dramatic exit from Tuesday night's Sinister Sarcophagus challenge, just minutes into it, viewers have taken to social media to plead with fellow fans to give Dean a break. One fan implored: "I'm begging you all please leave dean and grace alone let someone else do the trials they have been through ENOUGH." Another echoed this sentiment, saying: "Can we agree as a collective to leave dean out of trials." A third fan chimed in: "Guys PLEASE stop voting dean in i feel so bad for him, don't make my fav leave before he even gets the chance to win." A fourth viewer simply stated: "Idk who keeps voting for dean but it's getting boring lads, leave him alone." The show's hosts, Ant and Dec, also expressed their disappointment that viewers were denied the opportunity to see the full trial due to Dean's early exit. Speaking on I'm A Celebrity Unpacked, Dec shared: "We are genuinely disappointed because you are prepared to do the whole trial and you want to see the whole thing. There's a lot of time gone into the trials so when it's called early your like, 'oh'." I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
