Married to a professional chef, David Schwalb wasn't about to compete with his wife's kitchen skills, so he took his cooking game outdoors.

The new rate structure eliminates the charge of $27.52 for up to three units and instead implements a $15 flat fee that will be dedicated to infrastructure maintenance and i...

But thanks to the newly created Zach Leathers Emergency Medical Fund, Sultan's leg was removed and...
