“They’re very responsive,” Ward said. “They understand that this is a small business. We are doing everything we can with all of the guidelines that have been put in place. It can be confusing.” Even after having to close for a day, Ward says she’s confident in the community that they’ll continue to support her family owned business. TOWN OF CHENANGO (WBNG) — McGirk’s Irish Pub is back open after having to closed due to a customer testing positive for COVID-19. “Doing more of the very intense deep cleaning of certain areas even if it’s just a window sill outside that nobody really pays attention to,” Ward said. “We’re paying attention to every area now.” After announcing the pub was temporarily closing, the customer that tested positive reached out to McGirk’s owner, Meg Ward. The staff is continuing to wear gloves and masks while preparing food and drinks. 
Ward says they could handle the situation because they were following all of the required guidelines before the positive test. They’re just taking it up a couple of notches. “We have done everything we are supposed to be doing and then some,” Ward said. “Just one day we miss seeing our customers because they’re very important to us. They’re like family.” As soon as customers arrive, there are signs reminding customers to wear masks and social distance. Ward says the Broome County Health Department was open and helpful with her on the path to reopening. 
Meyers was detained by police at Los Angeles International Airport in July 2018 after he was allegedly caught vaping during a flight from Miami to L.A.The airport’s public information officer told Us at the time that the police received a call “regarding a smoker” on Meyers’ flight, which led to officers meeting the plane at the gate. “Police conducted a full investigation and found there was no domestic incident or smoking incident that had occurred and found that there was no crime,” the PIO said, noting that airline employees claimed that “there was drinking involved, but not enough” to cause trouble.In September 2017, the Ireland native relapsed after his wife, Mara Lane, suffered a miscarriage.- Advertisement – Deputies responded to the accident at 5:45 p.m. The deputy noted that the actor was alone in the car and did not strike another vehicle, adding they are “unaware of any injuries” at this time.According to the arrest documents, bail was set at $5,000 and the Tudors star was released on citation on Monday, November 9, with a promise to appear in court on February 25.

Ken McKay/ITV/ShutterstockThe 12th Man actor has a history of alcohol abuse and run-ins with the police, including an airport incident two years ago.- Advertisement – Jonathan Rhys Meyers was charged with a DUI and arrested on Sunday, November 8, Us Weekly can confirm.The Vikings alum, 43, was given a field sobriety test after police received a call about a solo, minor collision in Malibu, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesperson Deputy Tina Schrader told Us.- Advertisement – “Depression is a real concern from past abuse as well as alcoholism which he was born with. He has been able to turn any ugliness and hurt in his life into art and is the strongest person I know,” Lane wrote via Instagram. “I do not know anyone who has been through what he has been through and reached his level of successes. It does seem though that every time we seem to be making so much progress… sometimes it’s like two steps forward, one step back.”The Eugene actress also addressed recent photos that surfaced of Meyers being escorted out of Dublin Airport for allegedly being too intoxicated to board the flight.“My husband is an Irishman who battles alcoholism and depression and drank between jobs to try to cope with the sadness of this news,” she continued. “He is safe and with his sober living companion and bodyguard to get into a detox closer to home since he was denied hospital help twice in Ireland because of an already two month wait period. Life is life. Life is beautiful. Life is tough sometimes though so let’s try not looking down at someone unless we intend on helping them up.”Two years prior, Meyers apologized publicly for another “minor relapse” he had while in London in May 2015, where he was photographed drinking straight out of a vodka bottle walking in the street.“Mara and I are thankful for your support and kindness during this time. I apologize for having a minor relapse and hope that people don’t think too badly of me,” he wrote on his then-fiancée’s Instagram account. “I stopped drinking immediately and it is no reflection on Damascus Cover as I was not meant to attend Cannes this year and I apologize to fans and colleagues.”He added: “I feel I made a mistake and feel quite embarrassed but this was just a blip in my recovery otherwise I’m living a healthy life. Love and blessings. #Rebel #Angel.”The Dracula alum was hospitalized in June 2011 after another relapse.With reporting by Marjorie HernandezListen to Us Weekly’s Hot Hollywood as each week the editors of Us break down the hottest entertainment news stories! – Advertisement –

Connections of Kingman have no concerns about travelling to the Curragh for Saturday’s Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas. Teddy Grimthorpe, owner Khalid Abdullah’s racing manager, told At The Races: “He was broken in in Ireland so he’s not going to be a total stranger (to travelling). I wouldn’t be too concerned about that. “I don’t think anyone would want to see it being run in a bog, but he certainly won’t mind any juice in the ground – in fact I’m sure he’ll relish it. “He came out of the race at Newmarket very well and has trained straightforwardly and worked very nicely on Saturday on the Limekilns.” Press Association
John Gosden’s star colt lost his unbeaten record in the Guineas at Newmarket when beaten by Richard Hannon’s 40-1 shot Night Of Thunder, who had been easily brushed aside by Kingman in the Greenham at Newbury just a few weeks before. Kingman is an odds-on favourite to claim his first Group One success this weekend and with rain around in Ireland, he is expected to get his favoured conditions, too. 
Barcelona, May 19 : FC Barcelona bid their official farewell to long-time captain Andres Iniesta with an event at Camp Nou that highlighted the legendary midfielder’s role in the team’s tremendous success over the past decade.Iniesta, 34, joined the Barcelona organisation as a 12-year-old, playing in the youth divisions and the B team before being promoted to the main squad in 2002.The entire team and coaching staff, current and former club executives, Iniesta’s family, ex-teammates Samuel Eto’o and Xavi Hernandez, and world-class athletes from other sports such as NBA stars Pau and Marc Gasol were among the roughly 300 invited guests on Friday.Journalist Jordi Evole played the role of master of ceremonies, introducing Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Eto’o, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and others who took the microphone to share anecdotes from a podium crowded with trophies representing the 32 titles Iniesta has won with Barcelona, including the 2017-2018 La Liga and Copa del Rey.“These final hours are not passing easily. It’s difficult to accept it and to think that the moment is coming to leave the club. I’m trying to enjoy it to the max, especially on Sunday when I will say goodbye to what has been my home,” Iniesta said two days ahead of his final match with Barça.The tribute began with the screening of a video about Iniesta’s career featuring commentary by former Barcelona stars Pau Gasol, Iker Casillas, Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique Martinez, Marc Marquez and Franck Ribery, among many others.“I am left with the pride I feel for having grown as a person and player in this club, for me it’s the best in the world,” a choked-up Iniesta said to a standing ovation.Sunday’s match at the Camp Nou against Real Sociedad will be Iniesta’s chance to say his goodbyes to Barcelona supporters.

“I want to stress that I will extend this order and keep the beaches closed past July 7 if we do not see people taking this seriously.” Gimenez said that he had no other choice but to order a closure after the reports of non-compliance of residents. The mayor said he is also sending a stern warning ahead of time, that if people don’t comply with the Fourth of July restrictions, he’s willing to shut down the beaches even longer. After seeing a massive increase in COVID-19 cases last week, Mayor of Miami-Dade County Carlos Gimenez has announced that beaches will be closed for the Fourth of July weekend. Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis said it is also likely that other counties including Broward County will also make a similar announcement. All Miami-Dade beaches will close on July 3 and remain closed through July 7, but could be extended.Parks will continue to close at 8 p.m. daily.Fireworks displays must be viewed from home or from your car.Gatherings of more than 50 people are restricted. The order that will guide holiday activities in the county states that: “I can foresee a Fourth of July where you have throngs of people on the beach, very difficult to keep social distancing, people getting together, especially young people getting together. We now see this virus is prevalent in this age group and we want to keep this down, Gimenez said.
