League great dies after heart attack in training

Kurt Bellinger

Bellinger was reportedly involved in a car accident after he was involved in a car accident in Mexico. He was taken to the hospital after the accident.

Bellinger is now facing up to two years in prison for driving under the influence. It is unclear how long he might serve.

This is a developing story, and we'll update as more details become available.

Herbicide implicated in mangrove dieback

"When you see a dying tree that has died and there is no soil around it, you know what it means to have this herbicide in the soil," she says. "It kills the tree, it kills all that is alive in the tree."

In the case of New York's mangroves, farmers have been able to spray herbicide onto their trees as a way to slow the trees' decline, but for the past two years the state Department of Environmental Conservation has been using chemical sprays on the entire borough. They're designed to kill invasive species, but experts say the damage is permanent.

"We're using the very same pesticides that caused this mortality," Dr. J. Richard Bechtold, a toxicologist at the University of New York-Newburgh, says. "The trees die. We're going to have to spray them back. I just fear it's going to spread to other sites."

Bechtold says the state will have to apply new ones or reevaluate the system. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced last year that he would create a task force to review the state's herbicide system, which he says will give farmers and scientists a better insight on the effectiveness of herbicide treatment.

Bechtold says that by using herbicide instead of chemical sprays or even spraying large amounts of chemical onto the forested areas of the mangroves, the trees could be wiped out in only a matter of years.

Dr. Jeff Davis at The Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental law and policy group, says the herbicide treatment system at issue is far too expensive, unnecessary and highly ineffective.

"A little over $20 to $30 billion annually, about twice the amount of pesticides we use today," says Davis, who's been monitoring the program since it was first imposed in 2011. "This is a serious ecological issue. The problem is not in the weeds, it's in the mangroves. The weeds have already died."

He's been trying to help the mangroves and other vulnerable ecosystems, like those near the Kennedy Airport, for decades through the New York State Forest Preservation Commission. That's why he was recently appointed to the commission, which is now charged with overseeing the state's herbicide and poison control programs.

So far he says they have not met his requests. He says he's been told that the commission's actions are based on faulty science, that they're "wandering in the red carpet" and that they're not transparent.

"There is a lot of confusion about this," he says. "It's not the type of investigation that would make people look good if they're not doing everything they should.
