(WJHL) – A filmmaker who travels across the country looking for unique people and their stories has made his way to Elizabethton. His series on YouTube is called “Once a Stranger.” Scott Gerke is the man behind the idea. News Channel 11 spoke with him about how he got the idea for the series. “A search for learning more about the world around us,” Gerke said. “So that’s how it all began.” Living most of his life in Key West, Florida, Gerke was making a living as a DJ and events planner. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and he was forced to take on a new challenge. “So, the goal is to build a connection with people I once never knew all through the power of a simple hello,” Gerke said. “And it’s supposed to share with people that everyone’s got a story to tell, and if you give them the opportunity to share it, you can really learn a lot about the people around you.” That mission brought him to Elizabethton to do some fly fishing and check…

The 17-year-old was trained by Sushant, his father, for a good period of 2014 till 2017 after his initial coach quit his training school — New English Medium School within months of joining in 2012. A year or so passed with little or no help, then Sushant took charge. A former national-level silver medallist in kickboxing, Sushant wanted his son to pursue his dreams.

Whether it was people getting stung, or chased or fail videos, that’s not a respectful way to highlight wildlife.”Clay Carabajal with Champ a Columbian Red-Tailed Boa (KSAT 2021)“Growing up in San Antonio, Texas, watching television -- all of the shows didn’t feature a person of color, a Hispanic person going out and messing with wildlife. As a culture here in San Antonio, wildlife isn’t the first thing we think of or are drawn to as a profession. So I’m hoping with my new platform, my community roots and my culture, I can inspire the next me, no matter where they are watching. They can…

Former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit seeking to restore his YouTube account, cut off after an incendiary Jan. 6 posting claiming the presidential election was stolen, is apparently headed for the Bay Area.Trump sued YouTube in July, saying the video-sharing platform violated his constitutional rights by terminating the account he had started as a private citizen in 2015 and maintained during his presidency. The suit, joined by six individuals and a conservative group whose accounts have been suspended, was filed in Florida, where Trump lives at his Mar-a-Lago resort. But U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore of Miami on Wednesday granted YouTube’s request to transfer the case to the Northern District of California. He cited the company’s customer contracts requiring legal disputes to be heard in federal or state courts in Santa Clara County, which includes YouTube’s home of San Bruno. The Northern District is based in San Francisco but also has courts in San Jose. Trump and his lawyers argued that the suit should be heard in Florida under the state’s laws — one of which, recently blocked by another federal judge, would penalize social media companies that interfere with postings by political candidates. But Moore said the suit involves…

Speakers called the pandemic a “Big Pharma” conspiracy or “bioweapon activated by 5G” wireless technology.Switching to BoxCast will require the county pay $1,500 a year, said council policy director Chris Grahn-Howard.
