Lexington Children's Theatre Suffers Damage After Water Pipe Bursts

Lexington Children's Theatre has suffered thousands of dollars in damage after a water pipe burst on Sunday morning, LEX 18 reports.

"It had several computers in there. Lots of equipment to kind of communicate with the audience and keep our patrons informed. So, we're going to have to replace all of that equipment," said Jeremy Kisling, the theatre's producing and artistic director.

In addition to the water damage, steam got into the windows and walls.

"With the technology alone in that room, it's well over $5,000 and then we'll have the structural damage and the repairs as well, so it's going to be a pretty penny at the end of the day," said Kisling.

Lankinen makes 32 saves, Blackhawks beat Blue Jackets 3-1

CHICAGO — Kevin Lankinen was steady for Chicago — all night long. Elvis Merzlikins delivered for Columbus — until the third period. Lankinen made 32 saves and the short-handed Blackhawks jumped on two costly mistakes by Merzlikins, topping the Blue Jackets 3-1 on Sunday. "Gritty effort from our group," coach Jeremy Colliton said. Patrick Kane and Philipp Kurashev each had a goal and an assist for Chicago, which had dropped three in a row. The Blackhawks improved to 1-1 on a four-game homestand after losing 2-1 to the Blue Jackets on Friday night. The game was tied before Merzlikins mishandled the puck behind his net at two different points in the third, and Chicago scored each time. Pius Suter got to one in the corner and sent his shot off the goaltender and into the net at 7:41, lifting the Blackhawks to a 2-1 lead. "You're just trying to get it on net because you know the guys are going to go there and if it hits him and goes in or it just bounces out, it's going to be a dangerous play," Suter said. On Merzlikins' second misplay, Kurashev fed Kane for his fourth goal at 13:40. "I messed up. Not once, twice tonight," Merzlikins said. "So (the) team doesn't deserve this." Columbus had a chance to get one back when Andrew Shaw was sent off for hooking, but Chicago killed off the penalty. Boone Jenner scored for the Blue Jackets, and Merzlikins stopped 33 shots. "You know it's never one guy's fault," Columbus forward Jack Roslovic said. "We need to score more goals and maybe if there's a communication thing we need to do better, and we'll find that and we'll just prepare and use that for the next game." Chicago got a sorely needed victory a day after it cancelled practice out of concern about potential exposure to COVID-19. Blackhawks forward Ryan Carpenter and defenceman Nicolas Beaudin were placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list, joining teammates Alex DeBrincat, Adam Boqvist and Lucas Wallmark. The league's unavailability list covers multiple factors such as isolation due to a confirmed positive test or quarantines due to being "a high risk close contact." "It's tough once it gets in the locker room. It's obviously going to find a way to get to some people," Shaw said. "But we're all following protocols. We have our masks on. We're staying away from each other. We're doing Zoom meetings. "I mean, we're following all the guidelines we're supposed to be following and the trainers are making sure of it as well and helping us out." The Blackhawks already were without captain Jonathan Toews because of an illness, and key forward Kirby Dach could miss the entire season after he had wrist surgery in December. Colliton held a Zoom meeting with his team Saturday and talked about working through adversity. "The most important thing is that we push through and we find a way to persevere anyway, and that'll be great for us in the end," Colliton said. "That can make our team stronger. We're trying to build a foundation that we can rely on in hard times, so 'Why me?' would be the total wrong approach, I think." Chicago used a pretty passing sequence to jump in front in the first period. Mattias Janmark found a streaking Kane in the middle, and he touched it over to Kurashev for a tap-in at 12:32. Columbus tied it when Jenner stuffed home a rebound with 2:32 left in the period. It was Jenner's third goal of the season. The Blue Jackets had a chance to take the lead in the second, but Lankinen made a nice right pad save on Alexandre Texier about six minutes in. Merzlikins also faced some pressure, knocking away an open look for Chicago forward David Kampf. NHL DEBUT Chicago forward Reese Johnson played almost 11 minutes in his NHL debut. He logged a team-high seven hits. UP NEXT Blue Jackets: Open a four-game homestand against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night. Blackhawks: Host the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. ___ Jay Cohen can be reached at https://twitter.com/jcohenap ___ More AP NHL: https://apnews.com/NHL and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Jay Cohen, The Associated Press

San Diego Air & Space Museum basement flooded after car shears off hydrant - The San Diego Union-Tribune

Posted: 22 Jul 2020 12:00 AM PDT

A car sheared off a hydrant in the parking lot of the San Diego Air & Space Museum on Wednesday, creating a water geyser that flooded the basement where the museum restores aircraft and stores artifacts and archives.

The extent of the damage was not immediately known.

The water shot into the air after a driver apparently rear ended the hydrant about 10:35 a.m. in the parking lot of the museum in Balboa Park. San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Capt. Tuan Dinh told OnScene TV that the driver, who was not injured, said the accelerator pedal got stuck.

OnScene TV video showed the sheared-off hydrant under the car.

Firefighters, who happened to be training nearby and heard the crash, laid down a 4-inch hose near the perimeter of the museum to divert the flow of water away from the basement and mitigate the flooding. They called additional fire trucks to assist in removing the water.

The flow of water was shut off about 45 minutes after the crash. Video from OnScene TV showed a few inches of water throughout the museum's basement.

"Job one is getting all of the water out of our basement so we don't get mold," said David Neville, the museum's director of marketing and communications. Museum staff called a restoration management company to assist.

Established in 1961, the museum houses a collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft from around the world.
