					Two brothers from Australia found themselves making a bittersweet memory before the University of Cincinnati vs. the University of Arkansas season opener game on Saturday. Mason Fletcher, sophomore punter for the Bearcats has a younger brother, Max Fletcher, who just so happens to be the freshman punter for the Razorbacks. The two brothers from Melbourne were reunited on Saturday's game and Mason got to reunite with his mom. He hadn't seen her in two years. The Cincinnati Bearcats Football Twitter account posted the video of the reunion. UC captioned the video "We're not crying, you’re crying! (Okay… we're crying too.) Mason Fletcher's family flew in from Australia to watch him and his brother play against each other tomorrow at Arkansas." Watch video below to see the reunion.Fletcher had posted a picture of him and his brother in uniform to his Twitter prior to the season opener game and said "Fair to say mum and dad are tailgate ready," with a few laughing emojis. Max, who hadn't seen his parents in eight months, also took to Twitter to post a family picture. "Good to see mum and dad for the first time in 8 months, excited for Saturday #woopig," the freshman punter said.  Although the game didn't rule in Cincinnati's favor when Arkansas defeated them 31-24, it was still a win for the Fletcher brothers.

<p>OREGON, Ohio — An Ohio oil refinery was shut down Wednesday after two people died in the massive fire on Tuesday.</p>
<p>A spokesperson for British Petroleum told the Associated Press that the fire occurred at its Husky Toledo Refinery in the city of Oregon, just outside Toledo.</p>
<p>According to the news outlet, the company said that the two workers were initially injured in the blaze but later succumbed to their injuries.</p>
<p>In a video provided to CNN, Ryan Rohm told the news outlet that he began noticing black smoke rise from the refinery around 7 p.m., adding an explosion also shook the ground and houses nearby.</p>
<p>During a Wednesday night speech on the House of Representatives floor, U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur <a class="Link" href="https://twitter.com/RepMarcyKaptur/status/1572710226448482304">offered</a> her condolences to the families of Ben and Max Morrissey, the two men who died in the fire.</p>
<p>"Madam Speaker, I rise today with deep sadness to pay tribute to two highly skilled U.S. steelworkers, brothers Ben and Max Morrissey, who tragically lost their lives at the British Petroleum refinery in my hometown," Kaptur said as she addressed lawmakers. "Yesterday, while on the job at the BP-Husky plant in Oregon, Ohio, their lives were cut short in a horrific explosion. Responsible citizens, husbands and fathers who performed America’s essential work that drives progress and our American way of life forward."</p>
<p>The company spokesperson said the fire was extinguished around 10:15 p.m. Tuesday and the refinery was "safely shut down," NBC News reported.</p>
<p>The cause of the fire has not been released, the Associated Press reported.</p>

											MOTHER, ALAN, AS THE CROWD CHEERED AND THEIR MOTHER LOOKED ON. GORDON BURRELL AND DENNIS PARKER TOOK THAT WALK ACROSS THE STAGE TO COLLECT THEIR DIPLOMAS FROM NEWTOWN HIGH SCHOOL.

THEIR MOTHER, CECELIA MCFADDEN, TOOK THEM IN AS FOSTER CHILDREN. PARKER WHEN HE WAS A WEEK OLD, AND BURRELL AT THE AGE OF TWO. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, SHE ADOPTED THEM. THEY CREDIT MCFADDEN WITH PUSHING THEM. YOU GOT HIM OUT. BUT EVERY DAY, I DON’T KNOW. SHE SHE ALWAYS TOLD YOU THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO. MCFADDEN HAS FOSTERED 15 CHILDREN ADOPTED THREE AND HAS TWO BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN. WHEN YOU GET THEM SO YOUNG, YOU GET ATTACHED TO THEM. YOU DON’T WANT TO TAKE THEM BACK. SO BURRELL FACED THE ADDED CHALLENGE OF HAVING SEVERE HEARING LOSS. HE WAS BULLIED AND CALLED NAMES AT SCHOOL. I HONESTLY, WITHOUT THE MOTHER OF ALL THE LIKE, JUST GOING INTO FOSTER CARE AND EVERY DAY I LIKE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN MESSED UP, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE STREET MAYBE SELLING DRUGS, A LOT OF OTHER STUFF.

					Two teens who were born into difficult situations are making their mark on the world thanks to a generous mother.Brothers Dennis Parker and Gordon Burrell are graduating from New Town High School in Baltimore County, Maryland. Their mother, Cecelia McFadden, helped them get ready for the big day. She took them in as foster children — Parker when he was a week old and Burrell at the age of 2.A few years later, she adopted them both. They credit McFadden with pushing them, even when they acted out."You got on my butt every day. I don't know, she always told the right things to do," Parker said.Burrell faced the added challenge of having severe hearing loss. He was bullied and called names at school."She brought me in and made sure we had everything. Without her, there would be no graduation," Burrell said of his mom.McFadden has fostered 15 children, adopted three and has two biological children."You get them so young, you get attached to them, you don't want to take them back," said McFadden.Burrell said his life could have been very different without McFadden."My life probably would've been messed up. I probably would've been in the streets, selling drugs, a lot of other stuff. She's there. She was the protector, the caregiver," Burrell said."We are losing too many males in the streets," McFadden said. "I said, 'You already have two things going wrong for you right now: You're Black and you're male.' I said, 'You need that education.' I said, 'If you get that education, no one can take that away from you. As long as you can read and write and count, you're going to be OK, You can make it.'"Burrell is off to study music in college, while Parker plans to learn a trade.

					Randy Waites never expected to find a family member by watching the local news. But that's exactly what happened one day in late December. The sighting happened during a newscast of sister station KCRA, in a story about snowfall in Lake Tahoe. A man named Eddie Waites was being interviewed, and Randy wondered if there might be a family connection. Randy's daughter, Cambria kicked off the search. "I saw  features and he actually looked a lot like my Dad in the eyes. I did my research, searched up his name, looked up all I could," she said. It wasn't long before the two men shared their first phone call. "It just clicked, like we’ve been friends for 20 years," Randy said. "It's just unbelievable.""It was an instantaneous chill all the way from my head all the way down to my toes," Eddie said. "At first I thought, it’s not possible. Once I seen a picture of him, I seen my dad. I seen our dad. I knew it was real." The connection has allowed Randy Waites an opportunity not only to connect with his brother, but also learn more about their father. "I’ve never met my father, never saw a picture of him my entire life," Randy said. " has been texting me all kinds of different stuff, pictures of my grandfather, and filling in on the family history that I never had on that side."Eddie and Randy grew up within just 30 miles of one another. On Saturday, they met for the first time."This is almost an out-of-body experience," Eddie said. "The whole thing is surreal. To have not only a brother, but a family I never knew existed is beyond words. It's unbelievable."Both families greeted and embraced one another on Randy's front lawn in Lodi, California.  The moment was markedly special also because it fell on Randy's son's 13th birthday. "It was crazy. I didn’t even know it was possible this could happen," said Dalton Waites. "My dad showed me a picture of his dad, and he looked exactly like me when I was little."KCRA asked the brothers what their plans were for the weekend."Spending as much time with this guy as possible," Eddie said. "Filling him in on all the gaps he’s had in his life, and the gaps I’ve had in my life, and filling in that void we both have. I think that’s the most incredible thing ever."
