After being extradited back to St. Croix, 50-year-old Kenneth Springer has been convicted on three counts of obtaining money by false pretense dating back to 2007, receiving a five-year probation sentence.

The East End Marine Park will host a free tree giveaway on Saturday, September 13 at the Rudolph E. Schulterbrandt Agricultural Complex, offering residents native and salt-tolerant varieties to promote biodiversity and fight erosion. Listen to these stories and more.
