HARTFORD, Conn. – Connecticut school children who enjoy chocolate milk are being granted a reprieve. |
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Thursday vetoed an education bill that included language potentially prohibiting the sale of nonfat chocolate milk in schools. |
The ban was apparently an inadvertent result of an effort to reduce sodium levels in beverages provided in Connecticut school cafeterias, as required by federal law. But in his veto message, Malloy said all milk producers add some sodium to their nonfat chocolate milk to counteract the bitterness caused by adding cocoa... |
During a public appearance on Thursday, Malloy admitted that he enjoys chocolate milk, not to mention chocolate shakes. But in his veto message, he said students should ideally drink unflavored nonfat milk considering chocolate milk contains unnecessary calories and sugar. |
Moving ahead with confirmation hearings over home-state objections. |
WASHINGTON (AP) - The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is upending longstanding precedent on two judicial nominees. |
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said Thursday he's going ahead with confirmation hearings for two appellate court nominees, Davis Stras of Minnesota and Kyle Duncan of Louisiana. |
Grassley says he won't allow a senator to block a nominee by refusing to return a so-called blue slip signing off on a home-state judicial nominee. |
Grassley says the Senate has traditionally used the blue slip as a courtesy to get the views of home-state senators on nominees. |
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein says the decision will allow President Donald Trump to cut Democrats out of the process for selecting judicial nominees and continue a pattern of selecting nominees she calls far outside the mainstream. |
Local legend and current Edmonton Oilers head coach Ken Hitchcock joined a select group on Wednesday when he was named to the Order of Hockey in Canada. |
Established in 2012, the Order is an elite group. The new class of Hitchcock, fellow coach George Kingston, and four-time Olympic gold medallist Jayna Hefford swells the ranks to just 27 members including 21 men and 6 women. All are recognized “on the basis of their outstanding contributions or service to the growth an... |
Our fair city is well-represented within this Order, which includes the likes of Wayne Gretzky (2012), Clare Drake (2013), Mark Messier (2013), Pat Quinn (2015), Bob Nicholson (2016), Ryan Smyth (2018), and now Ken Hitchcock. (All men for now, though this observer patiently awaits future recognition of women’s hockey p... |
In Ken Hitchcock’s case, all three. An Edmonton native, his is a truly remarkable story in which he coached his way from minor hockey to the pinnacle of his sport. He got his start in the local area, eventually working his way up to the midget AAA juggernaut Sherwood Park Chain Gang who posted a staggering 575-69 recor... |
That wasn’t a coaching gig that paid the bills, it was over and above Hitchcock’s day job as a salesman at United Cycle. |
That local sporting goods store was the setting for my one and only personal contact with Ken Hitchcock. It was around the time the Oilers entered the NHL, me as a 20-something beer leaguer looking for an upgraded pair of skates, him the salesman I lucked into and an extraordinarily good one. From my perspective it was... |
Turned out we both spent time in the same hockey arena as well, myself a late-night skater with a weekly ice time slot at Varsity Arena, him routinely spending his lunch hour break sitting in the stands of that same barn watching and learning from a master as another Edmonton coaching legend ran practice for his Univer... |
It wasn’t until 1984 that Hitchcock, by then 33, left the capital region to become a full-time hockey coach. He spent six years at the helm of Kamloops Blazers, guiding the club to two league championships. Twice recognized as the WHL’s Coach of the Year, he posted a 291-125-15 record, second best points percentage in ... |
Having beaten long odds just to make the NHL at age 43, Hitchcock would go on to coach 1566 games and counting in the best league in the world. That’s fifth all-time, while his 837 wins rank third. That included two stints with Dallas Stars, one each with Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, St. Louis Blues, ama... |
It’s his time with Dallas that many will remember best. The Stars quickly rose from also-ran to contender on his watch, surging by 38 standings points his first full season at the helm. The club hit 100+ points in each of his five full years there, capped off by a Stanley Cup title in 1999. The local connection to that... |
Subsequent years saw new challenges in other cities, a Jack Adams Award as NHL Coach of the Year in 2012, and three Olympic Gold Medals (2002, 2010, 2014) as an assistant coach which no doubt played a large role in today’s Hockey Canada honour. |
With the inclusion today of both Hitchcock and Kingston to the Order of Hockey in Canada, Drake’s “pay-it-forward” legacy is further assured. It’s a proud tradition of top-level hockey coaching that has accrued to this part of the world, extending from the UAlberta Golden Bears bench boss six decades ago right through ... |
MANLY is putting on a brave face despite the front-row crisis that has engulfed the team. |
Five-eighth Blake Green has backed the Sea Eagles to cover for the absence of three of their props to injury and suspension. |
Not only have they lost Martin Taupau and Addin Fonua-Blake after they both received two-week bans, but recruit Lloyd Perrett will also be sidelined for a month after suffering an eye socket injury during the round-one defeat to Parramatta. |
Darcy Lussick, meanwhile, remains sidelined with a wrist issue. |
The Sea Eagles take on the Rabbitohs on Saturday at Lottoland. |
"It's going to be a tough one for us against a real physical side in South Sydney but it's an important one for us to front up in the middle," Green said. |
"It gives a few blokes an opportunity who probably thought they weren't going to get one so early in the season. But it's just another challenge and we've got to step up and be ready." |
Taupau copped his ban for a 13th-minute shot on Suaia Matagi that was assessed as a grade-one shoulder charge by the match review committee. |
Fellow prop Fonua-Blake accepted the same punishment for an off-the-ball hit on Corey Norman in the final minute of the 20-12 loss. |
Teammate Jake Trbojevic denied enforcer Taupau needed to rein in his aggression. |
"That's the way he's always played and it's been really good for him. I thought he had a really good game on the weekend, he was really physical up front, really strong," he said. |
"He's playing his best when he's aggressive. It's hard to change someone like that. |
"There might be a few little things he could tweak, but you don't want to take the aggression out of him because that's when he plays his best footy." |

Rugadh agus thogadh Aonghas MacLeòid ann an Achadh a' Phlastair, air iomall Steòrnabhaigh, agus b' ann à Siabost a bha a phàrantan. |
B' e deasaiche Albannach an Times, agus nochd e gu tric air prògraman poilitigeach a' BhBC. |
Bha e air tòiseachadh aig an Scotsman, 's bha an Scottish Daily Express agus an Sunday Mail am measg nam pàipearan eile far an do dh'obraich e. |
Dh'innis an Times gun robh eòlas sònraichte aige air poileataigs na h-Alba is Bhreatainn, 's gun robh meas mòr aig an sgioba aige dha. |
Murchadh MacLeòid a' dèanamh luaidh air Aonghas MacLeòid. |
B' e deasaiche a bh' ann, thuirt iad, a bha cothromach agus tàlant aige airson faighinn gu cridhe gach sgeulachd. |
Thuirt iad gun robh e air brosnachadh a thoirt do cho-obraichean is luchd-naidheachd òga. |
Rinn am Prìomh Mhinistear, Ailig Salmond, luaidh air Mgr MacLeòid, 's e ag ràdh gur e fear-naidheachd tuigseach a bh' ann agus gum bi luchd-poileataigs anns gach pàrtaidh ga ionndrainn. |
Thuirt Alasdair Darling, a bha na sheansalair agus na cheannard air iomairt 'Nas Fheàrr Còmhla', gur e duine uasal a bh' ann am Mgr MacLeòid agus gu bheil e a bhàs na chall mòr do dh'obair-naidheachd. |
In the recent update on North Atlantic right whale sightings in local waters, Joy Hampp, director of the Marineland Right Whale Survey, reports that 16 calves have been born this season in waters off Florida and Georgia. While the birthrate is not outstanding at this time of the season, it is closer to what it should b... |
"Based on the current estimated population of 509 right whales, there are about 100 potential reproductive females. With this number, we should expect between 25 and 30 calves born each season." |
There have been nine documented sightings this season, which is an improvement over last year when local whale watchers documented only two sightings and land monitoring was curtailed in February. By contrast, in 2011 whale watchers confirmed 38 right whale sightings in local waters. |
Right whale watchers will continue their activities through the end of March by land. Weather permitting, Hampp will continue to fly aerial surveys in the AirCam, a lightweight airplane that was designed for National Geographic to conduct wildlife surveys in Africa. The AirCam, with its open cockpit, and unusual design... |
Hampp reported that The AirCam crew spotted a humpback whale north of State Road 206 near Crescent Beach in late January, In past seasons, humpbacks tended to appear in December and May, following the humpback migration to Silver Bank offshore from the Dominican Republic. |
This season humpbacks are being sighted. When surfacing, humpbacks roll much like a dolphin and have a dorsal fin about two-thirds of the way down their backs. They also have long white pectoral fins. Right whales are large, rotund, black whales with large heads, long rostrums, and no dorsal fins. They can grow up to 5... |
Hampp encourages beach visitors and those who reside in waterfront homes to report whale sightings by calling the Marine Resources Council hotline, 1-888-97-WHALE. |

Capt. Giles Norrington, U.S. Navy, retired, will be the guest speaker at the Seventh Annual Chase-Rescorla Scholarship Dinner March 16 at the Elks Lodge, 1420 A1A South. Theme is "Heroes Building Heroes Through Education." Norrington spent most of his 1,775 days as a POW in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" in North Vietnam. |
The scholarship fund honors local soldier Pfc. Leo C. Chase Jr. and an American hero, Rick Rescorla, who has local ties to Anastasia Island resident Dan Hill. |
Chase was killed in action on Nov. 15, 1965, at age 23, just five days before he was due to go home. He was the first St. Johns County resident killed in Vietnam. |
Rescorla was a hero at the Ia Drang Battle and along with Hill was the subject of the book "Heart of a Soldier" by James B. Stewart.

The illegal dumping of a “non-domestic” discharge in the Gozitan sewers led to the suspension of new water production on Wednesday afternoon. |
The Water Services Corporation said that an “illegal non-domestic sewer discharge of substantial proportions” had occurred in Gozo, leading to a sharp drop in oxygen levels in the two bioreactors of the Gozo sewage treatment plant. |
The sewage treatment plant produces polished treated water that is then redistributed to farmers for agricultural purposes. |
Due to the illegal sewage, new water production was suspended as a precautionary measure. |
Any suspected foul play or problems with the sewer can be reported to the Corporation on Freephone 8007 6400, by email on [email protected], on on the website live chat at www.wsc.com.mt and also on social media. |
The Boston Celtics stepped into the national spotlight for the first time this season Tuesday night. They didn’t exactly light up the stage. |
In just their second nationally televised contest since Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were in town, the Celtics were run out of Philips Arena by an efficient Atlanta Hawks team in a 121-97 blowout loss. |
Avery Bradley posted another strong effort with a team-high 25 points, two assists and three steals, but Atlanta wore Boston down with excellent ball movement and solid defense. The Hawks outscored the C’s 40-24 in the fourth quarter to make the game a runaway. |
The Celtics lost both games on their two-game road trip and have dropped three of their last four contests. |
