Bus driver didn’t talk about heaven and hell with boy, but did talk religion
The Polk County School District found that a bus driver accused of telling a student he and his two moms are going to hell did not explicitly talk about heaven and hell with the boy, but did talk about religion and distribute religious literature.
Superintendent Jacqueline Byrd reported to the School Board on Tuesday that the investigation, which included a review of video from the bus, found no evidence that bus driver Violeta Jacobo told Nathaly Encarnacion’s second-grader that he and his two moms are going to hell.
Byrd said the district asked Encarnacion to allow the video to be released, but she declined.

USA: JWs downsizing to make room for life's next chapter
Montgomery Advertiser, 17 May 2017
Downsizing to make room for life's next chapter
Jack and Sandy Daniels never intended to move when they built their home in Rockton — north of Rockford — more than 40 years ago.
"Nobody thinks they're going to get old," Jack said.
The Daniels couple donated a lot to Goodwill, had multiple garage sales, and still filled two dumpsters with accumulated "stuff" after 46 years in their home.
The Daniels couple are members of Jehovah's Witnesses, and Jack has scaled back his involvement with the organization since the move.
"She's getting more frail, and I promised her I would be there for her," Jack said. "I'm just less available for congregation business now, and for me that's a relief because I can focus more on my wife."

Left everything to start a new life
