LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — When LAPD Officer Nick Wiltz gears up for work, it’s not that simple. He’s the only field officer with a prosthetic leg. KCAL9’s Jeff Nguyen spoke to Wiltz about his return to work and his new challenges. How’s it feel to be back in your uniform?, Wiltz was asked. “It feels amazing,” he said. It’s a story that is Only On 9. Wiltz didn’t start out like this. CBS2/KCAL9 first met him in July of 2016 — when he graduated at the top of his class from the academy. He graduated following the deadly shooting attacks against police officers in Dallas. “If something tragic happens, you don’t get a moment to pause. You have to get back out there to serve the community,” he said at the time. Only two-months later, Wiltz lost his left leg in an off-duty crash. He was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle in Fullerton. Doctors didn’t think he was going to make it. But they didn’t know Wiltz’ spirit and determination. “Sadly, tragedy strikes everybody but you kind to have to like I said figure out how that is going to fuel you to help you get you towards your goals. To get you to help everyone around you,” he says. Wiltz says his family helped him to get past dozens of surgeries and procedures before he was able to get back into working shape. (credit: CBS) Today, two-months after returning to full duty, Wiltz met with new LAPD Chief Michael Moore He was at the hospital the night of the crash when doctors said Wiltz’ chance of survival was slim. “It reminds me so many times, life tells you that you can’t and it really is, so much of it is, about saying yes I can,” Moore told Nguyen. Wiltz initially did light work at Wilshire Division because he hadn’t gotten his prosthetic leg yet. His training coordinator says he used crutches to get around and sometimes less than that. “And I would look up and see him going up the stairs with one leg,” says Sgt. Mario Rojas. Wiltz joined the police at a time when the use of force was often questioned. He says he wants to help repair some of the bad feelings of the past. “You’re making an impact on the community if you’re doing it the right way. I’m not going to let injuries hold me back from achieving those goals.”

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. showed another sign he is prepared to put aside his contract talks for now. Beckham reported with fellow veterans for the opening day of Giants training camp. Beckham didn’t talk to the media Wednesday as veterans arrived at the Giants’ headquarters adjacent to MetLife Stadium. The 25-year-old Beckham will earn $8.5 million entering the fifth and final season of his rookie contract. If the Giants do not designate him as a franchise player, he’s eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in 2019. He wants to be the NFL’s highest-paid player. First-year coach Pat Shurmur plans to be cautious how his three-time Pro Bowl receiver will be used, especially in training camp. Beckham broke his left ankle in Week 5 and never returned as the Giants finished 3-13. MORE: Everything You Need To Know For 2018 NY Giants Training Camp “As we go forward, he’s coming back from injury,” Shurmur said. “We’re going to continue to be smart about what we give him from the start.” Shurmur punted when asked if Beckham’s contract status would be a distraction to the team. “We don’t talk about contracts,” he said. “The focus for me is to keep the players thinking about football.” Shurmur takes over a team ranked 31st in total defense and 21st in offense last season. The offense should benefit from running back Saquon Barkley , the second overall pick in the draft. “He’s very smart, he gets it,” said Shurmur of the Penn State standout. “In a lot of ways that’s a great place to start. He’s super-talented. The thing that stuck out to me is he embraces work. The mind is always looking for an easy way out and he doesn’t.” The Giants significantly upgraded their offensive line by signing left tackle Nate Solder from New England. That moves Ereck Flowers, the Giants’ top pick in 2015, to right tackle. Flowers struggled to protect Eli Manning in the passing game. Second-round pick Will Hernandez out of UTEP should vie for a spot at guard. The defense, which will have a 3-4 look this season under new coordinator James Bettcher, will be bolstered by the additions of free-agent linebackers Alec Ogletree, Kareem Martin and Connor Barwin, who was signed Wednesday. Manning returns for his 15th year and is buoyed by the prospects of throwing to a healthy Beckham; second-year tight-end Evan Engram; the speedy Sterling Shepard, who caught 59 passes as a slot target; and Barkley. “I’m excited about the guys who are on this offense.” Manning said. “The receivers, the offensive line, the playmakers we have. It looks good on paper, but we have to make sure we do what we need to do on the field. “There’s always expectations and no one has higher expectations than I do. You have to make the most of it each and every season.” Never in the 92-year history of the franchise had the Giants lost 13 games in a season. For the first time in 39 seasons, they will be led by a new head coach and general manager (Dave Gettleman) after Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese were fired. Gettleman, however, is undergoing treatment for lymphoma. NOTES: Olivier Vernon, who will move from DE to a pass-rushing outside LB, said he will leave the national anthem policy to the commissioner and the NFL Players Association. Vernon was the only Giants player to take a knee every game last season. . Former special teams coordinator Tom Quinn is back. He is helping the club while current coordinator Thomas McGaughey deals with “health issues.” …There is some concern whether supplemental draft pick Sam Beal will play this season. The cornerback hurt a shoulder in rookie practices this week and might need surgery. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman expects injured catcher Gary Sanchez will be sidelined until late August or early September because a strained right groin. Cashman updated Sanchez’s status during a Wednesday conference call that centered on the Yankees’ acquisition of reliever Zach Britton from Baltimore for three prospects late Tuesday. Sanchez was put back on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday because of the injury, a day after failing to hustle on a pair of key plays in a 7-6 loss to Tampa Bay. Sanchez missed 20 games from June 25 to July 19 because of the groin problem. Austin Romine is filling in for Sanchez. Kyle Higashioka was recalled for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to be Romine’s backup. Cashman said it was a difficult trade market to acquire more catchers. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga, who uncovered proof thousands of Japanese-Americans incarcerated in the United States during World War II were held not for reasons of national security but because of racism, has died. Bruce Embrey, co-chair of the Manzanar Committee, said Wednesday that Herzig-Yoshinaga died July 18 at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance. She was 93. Her discovery of a 1942 document in the National Archives revealed that approximately 120,000 Japanese-Americans weren’t sent to camps around the country for national security concerns. The real reason, according to the document, was because Japanese cultural ties led authorities to believe it was not possible to tell spies from law-abiding citizens. The revelation led to a 1988 executive order from President Ronald Reagan offering apologies and $20,000 payments to each of those incarcerated. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

Concerned Nassau Residents Record Scofflaw Drivers Rolling Through Stop Signs On Long Island
written by AlmedaZ13exe
SYOSSET, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — One neighborhood on Long Island is rolling on drivers as they roll through, or even blow past, stop signs. Residents are recording the scofflaws on home video and calling police to issue tickets. On Elderberry Road in Syosset it’s more than a daily occurrence. Drone Force 2 Flew above a residential intersection which was a three-way stop with three obvious stop signs. Still, cameras caught drivers turning into or off South Oyster Bay Road, appearing to completely flout the law. “I literally have to sometimes stand in the middle just so people know that there’s a school bus here and children are crossing to get to the bus,” homeowner and parent Bhavin Manani said. The El-Miniawi family is worried about children and pets. “Cars come out of nowhere, sometimes my dog runs out of the gate,” Jessica said. Residents appealed to Nassau Police, who promptly responded. Even with multiple officers in plain sight, scofflaws never braked. In less than an hour, ten tickets were issued. Cops discovered distracted drivers, many who were pulled over said they didn’t see the signs or thought they had stopped. “It’s a town road, adjacent to a county light, next to a state parkway,” Nassau legislator Josh Lafazan said. “So what we’re going to have to do is get together, a coalition of elected officials.” But who will pay? Nassau police say written summonses are up 16 percent, so flashing lights, speed bumps, and speed cameras will all be considered. Running the stop sign, plus Nassau County’s public safety fee, could mean a ticket costs up to $330 plus three points on your license.

HACKENSACK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – A New Jersey hospital is well aware that Christmas is a half a year away, but that didn’t stop them from inviting a special someone to their pediatric center Wednesday to spread some holiday cheer. At the Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center, Santa said “ho ho ho,” in July. The staff transformed one of their conference rooms into the North Pole, for their ninth annual “Christmas in July” celebration. “This makes a huge impact on all the kids in the hospital. A lot of them are stuck in their rooms,” said child life specialist Kim Mason. It brought a smile to all their pediatric patients, like 4-year-old Luke Shay of Sayville, Long Island, who’s here recovering from a successful brain surgery. “This is such a nice set up with the kids, really brighten his day and made the experience that much better,” said Sayville, Long Island (mother?) resident Meghan Shay. The same went for Zoe Ditrani who is on her 8th week of chemotherapy. “Gives her something to be happy with in the middle of all of this,” said Hillsdale, New Jersey resident Robin Ditrani. Leart Dervishaj, 6, is another child having a difficult time. The boy’s family was scammed on Facebook last month when they were trying to buy him a dog. He eventually got his dream pet, but still has a long road ahead of him. His mom says this atmosphere helps. “Takes mind off of the medical part of it, not so much, medication and doctors,” said Little Ferry resident Rezarta Osmani. Santa couldn’t get the toys here alone. It was police officers from all over New Jersey that delivered the hundreds of toys. Organized by the New Jersey Honor Legion, they turned their cars into sleds for the day. “This is one of the things we look forward to every year. One of the first things we do is plan our calendar and pick out a day, and we start pushing it back in January,” said New Jersey Honor Legion president Michael Manzo. July 25 is the new December 25, at least at this hospital.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Reaction has been heated after New York’s junior U.S. senator led a chorus of Democratic lawmakers calling for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to be abolished. Campaigning for reelection and eyeing a possible presidential run in 2020, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has raised the flag of progressives seeking to use the issue of ICE as a weapon against President Donald Trump. Party sources tell CBS2 they’re worried her shift to the left could make could make it more difficult for moderate Democrats up for reelection this year. Gillibrand says she doesn’t see it that way. “I think there’s a shared moral value that we should not be literally separating children from parents at the border,” she said on Wednesday. As it turns out, that’s the job of Customs and Border Patrol agents. Others have also been quick to point out ICE has been a potent force of good on Long Island, instrumental in arresting members of the vicious transnational street gang MS-13. “It’s irresponsible to say ICE should be abolished,” New York Congressman Peter King (R-2nd) said. “That’s just caving in to political pressure, it result in the loss of human life.” King says in his district alone MS-13 is responsible for the deaths of 25 people in an 18-month span. Gillibrand’s Republican opponent, Chele Farley, calls the incumbent the “ICE Queen,” and it’s not meant as a compliment. “She was the first senator to come out and say to abolish ICE right after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,” Farley said. “I think that is a dangerous precedent. We cannot let the safety of our citizens be at risk.” Gillibrand agreed going after MS-13 is important, she just thinks either Homeland Security or Border Patrol should do it. “ICE was set up with a purpose, and that purpose is still needed,” security expert Manny Gomez said. “There are still members of MS-13… that ICE investigates, detains, and ultimately deports.” The senator insists her focus is running for reelection for senate, not for president. When asked if she would serve a full six-year term, she said that was her intention — giving herself at least a little wiggle room to change her mind.
