BRONX, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A five-year-old is fighting the war on trash with the help of her aunt. Napkins, a cigarette box, wrappers, a bottle, all a normal sight just sitting on a sidewalk outside Seton Park. “Don’t litter anymore,” that’s a demand from 5-year-old Pepper Munoz. She’s a little Bronx girl with a big mission. “I need to protect the world from getting dirty,” said Pepper. It’s called the Karina and Pepper Mission. A project by two family members to spruce up the streets of their Riverdale neighborhood. This clean-up effort began about two weeks ago after Karina noticed her niece Pepper littering and asked her why. “She told me, ‘Karina, it’s because other people do it so I can do it too.’ That made me think no, that’s not acceptable, just because they do it doesn’t mean you have to do it,” said Karina. So she decided to teach Pepper a lesson by taking her out twice a week to pick up any trash they find along the way. The pair is putting up signs all over the neighborhood hoping people stop, read it, and take part in their mission. “We reside in this neighborhood and have noticed the overwhelming amounts of trash on our sidewalks lately and its unacceptable,” said Karina. “I feel happy we picked up the trash, but I feel angry that the people always have to throw the trash,” said Pepper. Pepper is learning hard work pays off because this trash turns into treasure. At the end of each week, her aunt gives her $5 to buy whatever she wants. “I buy chips and cookies,” said Pepper. But Karina says the best reward is when others join in. “I’ve actually had people contact me like you’ve motivated me, I actually started picking up in my neighborhood which is awesome,” said Karina. And teaching Pepper at a young age the powerful feeling of making a difference. If you’d like to join Karina and Pepper in trash pick up, they meet Mondays at 6 p.m. and Saturday’s at 11 a.m. in front of the CVS on West 235th street near Johnson Avenue in the Bronx. They can also be found on Facebook.

RYE BROOK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A big rig was ripped apart with more than half its metal exterior torn off when a driver tried to squeeze through a highway overpass in Westchester County. It’s a problem drivers and officials alike say is all too common, particularly on the Hutchinson River Parkway. The driver of the truck tried to hide his face on Monday as he blamed his partner, who was navigating on a smartphone instead of a commercial GPS. “He sent me down this road,” the driver exclaimed. “This was the result of him sending me down this road right here.” His partner deflected the blame back onto the driver. “He knows he made a mistake,” said Cardell Talton of Atlas Moving. “As a driver you go to school for stuff like this, you should know what signs to look for to know we shouldn’t be on this road.” The men were driving a moving truck from Delaware to Connecticut when they struck the King Street Bridge. A sign says the clearance is nine feet, six inches, but the truck the men were in stands more than 11 feet tall. “It was very loud, bumping up in the air,” said Talton. “Hit my head on the ceiling.” The roof of the truck peeled open like a sardine can. Pieces struck a passenger vehicle driven by a Connecticut woman. She was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Every Parkway entrance has signs advising “Passenger Cars Only.” Some points also have detection systems to alert drivers if they’re over-height. Still, trucks repeatedly wander onto the Hutch where they strike bridges and snarl traffic. It’s happened in the Bronx on June 27th and in Pelham on June 12th. Westchester County Executive George Latimer says enough is enough, and is holding a summit on Friday. He says he’ll be demanding action from the trucking industry and the state Department of Transportation. “It’s not one thing that we need to do,” said Latimer. “It’s multiple things that we need to do because there are multiple reasons why drivers miss what information is out there already.” Charges against the driver were still pending late Monday, while his employer faced a big bill. A tow truck company owner tells CBS2’s Tony Aiello the average cost for removing a truck from a scene similar to Monday’s is around $30,000.

ARIZONA (CBS Local) – Arizona isn’t the first place where you’d expect to spot an alligator, but a lucky reptile has a new tail thanks to doctors in the Grand Canyon State. Mr. Stubbs has lived at the Phoenix Herpetological Society for several years without a tail. Vets believe he lost it in a fight with another gator and just like humans losing a limb, the injury affected his ability to do everyday things. “When we first got him, if the water was too deep for him to touch the bottom, he would roll over onto his back and could not right himself,” Phoenix Herpetological Society president Russ Johnson told azfamily.com . #Alligator from @PhoenixHerp gets a #prosthetic tail https://t.co/JG7JdXjAHh pic.twitter.com/fDlSLAqB0a — azfamily 3TV CBS 5 (@azfamily) July 7, 2018 Thanks to a team of doctors at Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Mr. Stubbs now has a new prosthetic tail to wag as he travels around his Scottsdale pond. The prosthetic tail reportedly took over a year to develop, as researchers worked to figure out how big of a tail Mr. Stubbs needed to restore his movement and balance in the water. “After almost eight years, we need to ‘unteach’ him the dog paddle, so he can swim like a normal alligator,” Johnson added.

(CBSNewYork) — Bridge problems in Bayville, Long Island has many Nassau County drivers frustrated. They say the broken bridge is leaving them stranded and preventing them from getting across Oyster Bay. Richard Valicenti knows the exact spot where the Bayville bridge splits into two because he sees it stuck all the time. “You just get that bad feeling right away because you know it’s going to be a bad day,” said Valicenti. He owns the bridge marine right next to the draw bridge and says the broken bridge is hurting business. “It’s very frustrating,” said Valicenti. “It’s been going on forever.” The bridge is owned by Nassau County and connects the village of Mill Neck to Bayville. The problem is, it regularly gets stuck in the upright position after opening for boats to pass by, stranding people on both sides – sometimes for as long as 24 hours. “You don’t even know when the bridge is going up,” said resident Yenny Crisy. “And it’s dangerous.” “I did a walk from Oyster Bay down here, and I thought shoot, what if the bridge is stuck?” asked resident Marjorie Marshall. “I’m going to have to walk all the way around or swim.” The bridge also gets jammed when it’s down so operators can’t raise it for large boats to get through. There is a detour drivers can take using Bayville Avenue, but most will tell you, it’s too far. “I try to be patient but it’s annoying and frustrating,” said Jen Jones of Bayville. Josh lafazan is the Nassau County legislator for the area and took on the role six months ago. “Our infrastructure in Nassau County is aging rapidly and this bridge is the epitome of aging infrastructure,” said lafazan. “The pieces inside the bridge are so old that they continue to malfunction.” He says the county plans to fix the bridge next year but it won’t be finished until 2021. He’s hoping to expedite the process. “We need to do better as a government, the bare minimum we can do is ensure the safety and well being of our community and if someone is getting stranded, with no way of getting home, then we are failing as a government,” said lafazan. Legislator lafazan plans on holding a public forum this Thursday night to figure out a solution. He’s bringing together the county executive’s office, the department of parks and public works, as well as first responders. For more information, visit the forum’s Facebook page .
