This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. A few clouds in the sky, but the sun is still shining in Boston, sixty seven degrees at four o'clock. I'm Sherry Small. Here's what's happening. It's deadline day. The sales of six Stewart Healthcare hospitals are expected to close today under Stuart's bankruptcy filing. And we have just obtained new court documents that show soon to be former Stewart CEO Ralph de Latorres is suing the Senate committee that
voted to hold him in contempt. He claims his constitutional rights are being violated. Meanwhile, there was a rare hearing yesterday at federal bankruptcy Court in Texas to hammer out the final details to get the remaining hospitals out of Stewart's control. When the titles transfer. Hears what it will look like. Lawrence General will take over Holy Family and Haveril and Methuen. Life Span will take over operations at Morton Hospital in Taunton and Saint Anne's in Fall River.
Boston Medical will take control of Goods Meridan in Brockton and Saint Elizabeth in Brighton Stewart CEO Ralph Dilatory is resigning. He's expected to step down tomorrow. The Winchester Center station is finally reopening tomorrow, a day behind schedule after a last minute delay to fix an elevator. WBC's Kyles Schaffel has more.
The mission to redo Winchester's main commuter rail station is almost at an end.
It's been a long and winding road. The project got started in about twenty ten.
Things like fallen concrete into crepit platforms force the renovation, which now is an elevator after the rebuilt. State Senator Jason Lewis has watched it all the way through as people in Winchester grow frustrated that the repairs were taking so long. The station closed in twenty twenty one. Part of the problem.
Trains on the Lowell Line have continued to operate the entire time.
Which meant construction crews didn't have the access they might have had elsewhere. There's still construction going on to the end of the year, but the station is functional again starting tomorrow. Lewis's local businesses and commuters are delighted to have it back.
Everyone is really looking forward to this beautiful, brand new, fully accessible, state of the art station.

One More Day to Go. Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walls getting ready for tomorrow's vice presidential debate. CBS Evening News anchor Nora O'Donnell and Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan will be the only people asking questions. CBS's Nancy Cordis says Vance is preparing for the debate.
It has made it very clear that he has been doing a ton of prep over the past month. The campaign says he's been doing murder boards where you basically sit there and you get pelted with questions. They've got Congressman Tom Emmer of Minnesota playing the role of Tim Walls in mock debates. He's from Walls's home state, and so they're making it clear that he is putting a lot of effort into his performance.
And there will be no audience at the bait. It is taking place in New York at the CBS News Broadcast Center. It will be aired at nine pm. We'll air it right here live on WBC News Radio, and if you're away from your radio, take us with you on the go with the iHeartRadio app. The four day wvc ACU weather forecasts mostly cloudy tonight, cooling down to fifty six in the city, cooling in the endless, endless inland suburbs.

All right, we're just learning. The FAA is now investigating after someone shined a laser at a flight heading into Logan Airport last night. The FAA says the Delta flight from Austin, Texas, was about nine miles away from Boston when they reported seeing a green laser pointed at the plane. The plane was able to land at Logan. Everything is fine, just a few minutes behind schedule, but no one was injured. Local authorities were notified. Last year, they say, pilots reported
more than thirteen thousand laser incidents to the FAA. September is color blind Awareness month, So before this month comes to a closed, wbz's Matt Shearer hit the streets to clear up a few things too.
It's all right, yes, do you see everything green?
No?
Okay?
Never like?
No, what red looked like? Okay? So here's the deal. I am red, green, color blind. There are a lot of us out there, even in this newsroom, and we get some wild questions all the time. For me, the most common one.
Is what is it like to drive hard? For you?
Basically, the red and yellow lights kind of look the same. So as long as we can see where they are on the grid, we're always good. But it's Massachusetts, so nobody looks at those anyways.
All eye colors look like the same.
I just never pay attention to eye color because chances are I'll get it wrong. Don't ask my ex girlfriend. Color Blindness is basically in the eye of the beholder.
I mean, what you see is what you see.
In a weird, non scientific way. Yes, we color blinds don't go through life thinking I'm seeing everything all wrong. We see what we see, and more often than not, the world is a beautiful place. Matt Shear WBZ, Boston's news radio.
