Benny Martinez passed away on January 3rd from complications related to diabetes. He was 66. In 1981, Martinez was a young kid and relative newcomer to Los Angeles who was picked for the early evening shift on program director Chuck Martin’s top-40 K-WEST 106 (now KPWR, 105.9 FM).

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (AP) — When Jamieson Brill answers a crisis call from a Spanish speaker on the newly launched national 988 mental health helpline, he rarely mentions the word suicide, or “suicidio” Brill, whose family hails from Puerto Rico, knows that just discussing the term in some Spanishspeaking cultures is so frowned upon that many callers are too scared to even admit that they’re calling for themselves.

WALLBURG — A Davidson County mom and son writing team has proven it doesn’t take a lot of pages to get across a big message in their recently published children’s book, “Hunter the Dancing Fox.”I want the message to be that they can find the thing they love and that they can be successful at it,” said Hunter Mikles, who is not only one-half of the writing team for the book, but whose life is also the inspiration for it.The idea to write the book sprung from Hunter’s mom, Robin Gibson Mikles, a retired Davidson County Schools teacher and guidance…
