Good morning, Bradenton. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 14th of May.

EDUCATION NEWS

  • Farrah Fishman, a second grade teacher at Oneco Elementary, was named this Month’s Chalkboard Champion for her dedication to teaching—she moved from New Jersey 27 years ago and also teaches Sunday school. She works six days a week and rewards her students when they read every day.  ABC7

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • An amendment to SB 180 will restrict all counties from adopting stricter planning rules for storm recovery from August 1 to October 1+ it gives developers legal grounds for lawsuits and may slow recovery efforts while raising insurance costs, prompting local groups to urge state lawmakers to fix the measure's fatal flaw.  The Bradenton Times

SPORTS NEWS

  • Bayshore High sophomore Sanii Shields is emerging as a track star today — she continues her family’s track legacy as both of her parents ran for top high school teams and her coach Les Hewitt praised her hard work — and she is focused on getting better every day.  ABC7
  • Bradenton resident Kathy Horvath recalled how she upset top-ranked Martina Navratilova at the 1983 French Open when she was a teen, saying her game was on point that day. Her win is still seen as one of tennis’s biggest shocks — it is compared to other famous upsets — and remains a proud moment in local sports history.  The Bradenton Times
