Good morning. It's Tuesday, August 16. Donald Trump called for "extreme" ideological vetting of immigrants seeking admission to the United States, vowing to significantly overhaul the country's screening process and block those who sympathize with extremist groups or don't embrace American values.

A $4.4 million-ecotourism center on Lake Apopka, a $3.5 million expansion of a nature center, new ball fields in west Orange and a splash pad and playground upgrade for Barber Park highlight $30 million in special projects in the upcoming Orange County budget.

See a video about What "cupping" is and why everyone is talking about it.
