TV News: John Faust and Mary Lindsey on canceled Raft Race in Lake Worth as crisis spreads to California

Jon Faust, Chair of the Neighborhood Assoc. Presidents Council (NAPC), was interviewed by NBC5/WPTV's Michelle Quesada. Here is an excerpt from the text of the story:

     Locals are heeding the warning signs. The annual 4th of July Great American Raft Race won't be much of a race this year.
     "There's a big disappoint of course that a lot of rafts won't touch the water," said John Faust, an organizer of the event.
     But the show will go on. All of the festivities at Bryant Park Monday are still happening, just not in the water.
     "We're taking the side of precaution," added Faust.

Later in the WPTV news is that the crisis has spread to California; a woman in West Palm Beach was also interviewed:

Mary Lindsey, also of the NAPC, was interviewed by ABC25/WPBF's Ari Hait:

     "We felt that that was just too much of an unacceptable risk to the health and safety of our neighbors," said Mary Lindsey, one of the race organizers.
     The race was scheduled to take place on the Lake Worth Lagoon on July 4.
     Lindsey, however, stressed that the race is just one small part of the celebration.
