SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Obama administration is seeking $250 million in federal funds to help Puerto Rico fight an increase in Zika cases after the governor declared a public health emergency.

The U.S. territory’s representative in Congress says the money would be used in part to help boost health services provided to pregnant women. Pedro Pierluisi said Monday that the money also would be used for prevention and detection.

The island has 22 confirmed cases of the mosquito-borne virus. Among them is a pregnant woman in her first trimester and a man who developed a temporary paralysis condition known as Guillain-Barre. Researchers have tentatively linked the virus to birth defects.

President Barack Obama will ask Congress to approve the funds for Puerto Rico as part of a $1.8 billion emergency Zika funding request.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A plaque has been unveiled at an Alabama airport where a Kansas boy died when he was hit by a falling flight information sign.

The Kansas City Star reports that officials at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport unveiled the plaque last week. It honors Luke Bresette, of Overland Park, Kansas.

Luke who was 10 years old in March 2013 when he was crushed inside a renovated section of the airport. His family, returning home from a trip to Destin, Florida, was walking by when the free-standing flight information board toppled over. Two of Luke’s younger brothers also were hurt.

Luke’s father, Ryan Bresette, says the family appreciated the airport’s gesture. He described the plaque as “absolutely beautiful.”

The family has settled a wrongful death lawsuit.

SIKESTON, Mo. (AP) — A 19-year-old southeast Missouri man faces charges accusing him of videotaping a man in a YMCA restroom.

The Standard Democrat reports prosecutors claim Earl A. Madison used a cellphone to take video of an 18-year-old man using the restroom at the YMCA of Southeast Missouri, where Madison was a part-time employee.

He’s charged with three counts of invasion of privacy. Online court documents don’t list a lawyer for a Madison, who was arrested about a week ago.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A proposal to keep firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers appears to have little chance in Missouri.

More than a dozen states have strengthened laws over the past two years on gun ownership for convicted domestic abusers, a rare area of consensus in the national gun debate.

St. Louis Democrat Representative Stacey Newman’s bill would ban those convicted of domestic violence or sexual offenses from possessing guns, as well as those with protective orders against them.

Republican House Speaker Todd Richardson says it’s unlikely such a proposal will pass out of the House. He cited GOP support of gun rights.

An Associated Press analysis of FBI data shows more than 200 people were killed with guns by spouses, ex-spouses or dating partners in Missouri from 2006 to 2014.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri lawmaker says he’s pleased that a colleague dropped a restraining order against him, but says the man was trying to hurt his reputation.

Representative Courtney Allen Curtis confirmed Friday he dropped the restraining order against Representative Michael Butler. Curtis and Butler are St. Louis-area Democrats.

Curtis says Butler swung at him January 19th outside a union reception over a dispute on a right-to-work bill.

Butler said in an email Saturday he’s pleased “at the outcome of this legal matter” but disappointed in Curtis and others who helped with what he called “a political attempt to harm” his reputation.

Curtis was the only Democrat to vote in September in favor of enacting right-to-work legislation that would have banned mandatory union fees.

Curtis said Saturday the restraining order wasn’t political.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City hospital has reported 18 cases of a gastrointestinal illness, and at least one of the cases has been preliminarily identified as norovirus.

The University of Kansas Hospital’s Marillac Campus this week reported 18 cases of a gastrointestinal illness, with 10 cases among patients and eight cases among staff. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Hospital spokesman Dennis McCulloch said in an email Saturday that tests preliminarily confirmed norovirus in at least one of the cases.

He says the hospital, which is Overland Park, has stopped taking new patients until the situation is resolved. Cleaning operations for norovirus began at the hospital when the symptoms appeared.

The hospital, which focuses on inpatient pediatric behavioral health services, became part of The University of Kansas Health System last year.

KIRKWOOD, Mo. (AP) — A St. Louis area police officer has been hospitalized after being hit by a car.

She says the officer had been investigating a report of a suspicious vehicle when a different car hit him in the street and left the scene.

Fire Department Capt. Gregg Favre says the accident occurred Saturday evening during a Mardi Gras celebration at a building in the Soulard neighborhood.

He says they treated five people and sent two to an area hospital for serious but not life-threatening injuries.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri state Representative Genise Montecillo is talking about her suicide attempt in hopes of helping others dealing with suicidal thoughts and depression.

Montecillo tried to kill herself in June 2015. She said childhood abuse and subsequent depression led to her attempt.

The St. Louis Democrat says she hopes her story can give others the courage to seek help.

Montecillo has publicly cited her attempt while backing legislation on mental health this year.

She’s spoken on the House floor for a bill that would create a panel of medical school representatives and a mental health official. The committee could do research to lower the risk of suicide and depression among medical students.

Montecillo also says she supports proposals to require school districts to adopt policies on suicide awareness and prevention.
