The St. Marys Lincolns didn’t have to look far for their new head coach. Just down the bench, actually. |
Assistant Steve Hiller has been promoted to the top job, taking over from interim head coach Bill Bourne, who replaced the fired Jamie Baker at the start of December. |
General manager Warren Nye said Hillier’s familiarity with the players in a season that’s seen Baker and assistant Mike Crespeigne let go helped in the team’s decision. |
The Lincolns sit eighth in the nine-team Western Conference of the GOJHL with a 13-16-2 mark, having gone just 4-12-1 in their last 17 games. |
But with 20 games left in their regular season, there’s still plenty of time to move up the standings to a position more in line with where many people expected them to be this season. |
“Especially in our conference, when it’s so tight between last and fifth or even fourth,” Nye said. |
The conference-leading Chatham Maroons come to the Western Fair Sports Centre to play the third-place London Nationals Wednesday night. It’s Chatham’s third of three regular season trips to London this season, with the Nationals having won 6-1 and 4-0 in the others. |
London (18-9-3) has won four straight and trails the Maroons (22-8-2) by seven points with two games in hand, so there’s no overstating the importance of this one for Nationals head coach Kelly Thomson. |
“It’s a huge game, a four-point game and making sure we get a win is paramount,” he said Tuesday, adding he’s not shocked by the Maroons’ rise from missing the playoffs last season to first place now. |
The Maroons are getting it done at both ends of the rink, with a conference-leading 132 goals scored and a goalie in Darien Ekblad who’s part of a defence that’s allowing a conference-low 3.125 goals against per game. |
“Obviously our goaltending has been strong this year, but we have a lot of balance throughout the lineup, whether it’s on offence or defence. We don’t rely on one line or player or pairing,” said head coach Bill Bowler. “We felt confident the team would improve, but that said I don’t think to be sitting where we are no... |
The teams meet again Sunday in Chatham at 4 p.m. The Maroons are 14-2 at home this season. |
Ekblad’s play this season has earned him a spot on the White team for the GOJHL top prospects game Dec. 30 at Kitchener’s Kinsmen Arena, part of a doubleheader with the league’s all-star game. |
Other Western Conference players named for the top prospects game, which starts at 1 p.m., are forwards Derek Todosichuk of London, Tyler Duarte and Nick Boyer of Strathroy, Korey Morgan of LaSalle, Eric Palazzolo of Chatham, Owen MacDonald of St. Marys, Davis Boyer of Sarnia and Joe Manchurek of Leamington; and defenc... |
Picked for the Red team for the all-star game at 4 p.m. were goalie Dalen Kuchmey of Strathroy; defencemen Jonathan Rizzo of St. Marys, Tanner Ferguson of Lambton Shores and Shawn Crowley of London; and forwards Noah Schwartz and Aaron Dartch of London, Adam Arsenault and Kyle Brothers of Lambton Shores, Alex Seguin of... |

Three, city council actions and the desires of current residents--looking at both sides of the relationship. |
As this is an experiment, please just indicate interest or not in these topics with no other comments. |
Very interested in all three. There are many relationships that impact Palo Alto and environs. Recognizing that potential school enrollments related to estimated students "generated" in all types of housing units is not included in standard EIR review of housing projects. It cannot be used as the basis for denial of pr... |
Definitely most interested in housing and school enrollment. |
Housing and school enrollment and the new ADU regulations. |
None of the above. They've been done many times in many posts. |
I asked for interest or not in the choices I listed without additional comments. If you want to respectfully explain your top priority among the three topics, go for it. |
Sorry if I confused you. The topic is how to reduce housing costs fior people who want to move here or stay here. I think it is disrespectful to tell other people to leave the area. If they want to be here. They can choose to do so as can you. Let them and the companies decide. But since people and companies do want to... |
Three is a black hole and there would be no accountable outcomes to this discussion. |
All occupants of a four-unit apartment building in Wausau are without homes after a fire broke out Saturday morning. |
WAUSAU – Residents of a four-unit apartment building were displaced after a fire broke out Saturday morning on the west side of Wausau. |
The fire on 39th Avenue was reported around 10:30 a.m., said Wausau Fire Department Battalion Chief Jeremy Knopp. All residents, including their pets, made it out of the building safely, he said. |
All four units were damaged by fire, smoke or water, Knopp said. The Red Cross was called to the scene to help residents find temporary living arrangements. |
As of around 2:15 p.m. Saturday, fire investigators remained at the scene working to determine the cause of the fire, Knopp said. |
The state government had renamed the Ardh Kumbh as Kumbh and the Kumbh as Maha Kumbh in 2017. |
LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has attacked his rivals for criticising the government for renaming this year's Ardh Kumbh as Kumbh, saying the opposition does not have an "iota of knowledge" about Indian traditions. |
The Kumbh was held in Allahabad from January 15 to March 4 at the Sangam -- the confluence of the Yamuna, Ganga and the mythical Saraswati rivers -- and as per government data, it was attended by over 24 crore people. |
"When the entire country feels proud about the valour and heroic deeds of the armed forces, they (opposition) seeks evidence of surgical strikes and air strikes. "When the entire world praises the divya (divine) and bhavya (grand) Kumbh, then they do not feel proud and express sadness as to why Ardh Kumbh was made Kumb... |
"If they (opposition) had even an iota of knowledge pertaining to Indian traditions, then I would have told them something. But, it is futile to make them understand, and the public will eventually and in time teach them a lesson," he said. |
There was a "saatvik taakat (pious force)" that wanted "faith and trust" to prevail come what may in the Kumbh, Adityanath said. |
"But, there was also a big section, that was spreading disinformation about India, Indianess and the Sanatan Dharma. Disregarding all of them, we moved ahead and achieved our mission," he said. |
Prime Minister Modi was a source of inspiration and he "guided us from the beginning, and he has said a safe and clean Kumbh had been organised", Adityanath said. |
"When the entire world is facing the menace of terrorism and living in an atmosphere of fear, we were able to successfully organise a surakshit Kumbh in which more than 24 crore devotees came," the chief minister said. |
He said with the prime minister's efforts and motivation, India's biggest spiritual and cultural gathering was recognised by the UNESCO as an "intangible cultural heritage of humanity". |
On the issue of stray cattle in the state, the chief minister said it is an "manmade problem (kritrim aapdaa)". |
"This problem is not caused by nature, but by the society, and the society should come forward to redress the problem. In some of the districts, members of the society have come forward and contributed," he said. |
In January this year, the state government had cleared a plan to levy cow welfare cess to help generate funds for its plans to build cow shelters for stray cows. |
The new cess is applicable on excise items, road toll plazas and Mandi Parishads. |
Indonesian Air Force officials at Medan city military base plot the Indonesian military search operation for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 on March 12, 2014 in the area of Malacca Strait, a sea passageway between Indonesia (seen left of the map) and Malaysia (seen right on the map). |
1. I refer to the Berita Harian news article dated 11th March 2014 on Search and Rescue Operations in the Straits of Malacca which (in Bahasa Malaysia) referred to me as making the following statements: The RMAF Chief confirmed that RMAF Butterworth airbase detected the location signal of the airliner as indicating tha... |
The last time the plane was detected by the air control tower was in the vicinity of Pulau Perak in the Straits of Malacca at 2.40 in the morning before the signal disappeared without any trace, he said. |
2. I wish to state that I did not make any such statements as above, what occurred was that the Berita Harian journalist asked me if such an incident occurred as detailed in their story, however I did not give any answer to the question, instead what I said to the journalist was "Please refer to the statement which I h... |
The RMAF has not ruled out the possibility of an air turn back on a reciprocal heading before the aircraft vanished from the radar and this resulted in the Search and Rescue Operations being widen to the vicinity of the waters of Pulau Pinang. |
4. I request this misreporting be amended and corrected to prevent further misinterpretations of what is clearly an inaccurate and incorrect report. |
5. Currently the RMAF is examining and analysing all possibilities as regards to the airliner's flight paths subsequent to its disappearance. However for the time being, it would not be appropriate for the RMAF to issue any official conclusions as to the aircraft's flight path until a high amount of certainty and verif... |
6. In addition, I would like to state to the media that all information and developments will be released via official statements and press conferences as soon as possible and when appropriate. Our current efforts are focused upon on finding the aircraft as soon as possible. |
Patrick wants detainees from immigration raid kept in Mass. |
BOSTON --Gov. Deval Patrick urged federal authorities to not move any more factory workers detained in an immigration raid out of state until their children are located and arrangements are made for their care. |
"I urged the federal government to stop all flights out of Fort Devens immediately until we can be assured that all parents have been identified and appropriate arrangements made for their children and dependents," Patrick said at a Statehouse news conference. |
Federal authorities postponed a third flight that was scheduled to depart at noon Thursday after Patrick twice called Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff seeking better cooperation from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials at Fort Devens. |
"What we have never understood about this process is why it turned into a race to the airport," Patrick said. "There are families affected, there are children affected." |
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Julie Myers said ICE agents asked each of the those arrested if they were sole caregivers to children. Myers noted that 60 people were released as a result of that questioning. She said ICE was being unfairly criticized for allegedly not considering the needs of children affected b... |
"Nothing could be further from the truth," she wrote in a letter to Patrick. |
Patrick traveled to New Bedford Thursday night to meet the mayor, local lawmakers, community leaders and relatives of those detained. |
"There were stories of humiliation, fear, anxiety, uncertainty," he told reporters afterward. "It reflects, for me, not what this country is about." |
Children affected by the raid included a 27-day-old infant, Massachusetts Department of Social Services spokeswoman Denise Monteiro said. She said one woman was released Thursday night to nurse her 7-month-old infant, who was hospitalized in New Bedford for dehydration because the baby rejected formula. |
Federal immigration officials have allowed state social workers to travel to the out-of-state detention centers "and identify some of the people they took too early before we got to interview them," Monteiro said. |
"We are committed not only to enforce the law, but also to make sure that humanitarian necessities are addressed," ICE spokesman Marc Raimondi said Thursday night. |
The state has identified at least 35 children whose parents were arrested, said JudyAnn Bigby, secretary of Health and Human Services. She said those children were staying with relatives or friends, but she added that it's important for state social workers to interview their parents to make sure the kids are staying w... |
There are other children who are either adolescents or had keys to their homes "and went home with no one there," Bigby said. |
"They have not self-identified themselves. We have no idea how many that is," she said. |
Patrick asked anyone with information about children in need of help to call 1-800-792-5200. He emphasized that the state has no role in turning illegal immigrants over to federal authorities. |
At least 60 of the 361 people detained from Tuesday's raid have been released for humanitarian reasons, most related to child care issues. They must still appear before a judge for immigration hearings, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. |
About 90 people were flown from the former Fort Devens military base to a detention center in Harlingen, Texas, on Wednesday. Some 116 others were flown to Albuquerque, N.M., on Thursday, Raimondi said. |
The detainees remaining in Massachusetts have been transferred to local jails, except for those who have been released on humanitarian grounds, and the Devens facility has now been vacated, Raimondi said. |
Patrick on Wednesday expressed concern that the children of the detainees -- most of whom are from Guatemala and El Salvador -- might not be receiving proper care. But immigration officials insist they coordinated with state social service agencies in advance. |
In the raid on the Michael Bianco Inc., factory, company owner Francesco Insolia, 50, and three top managers were arrested. A fifth person was arrested on charges of helping workers obtain fake identification. |
"They came in and swept up all these workers, most of them women," Patrick said. "The folks who run that plant? They're back at work today. And I think there's something wrong with that." |
Authorities allege Insolia oversaw sweatshop conditions so he could meet the demands of $91 million in U.S. military contracts. |
The Defense Logistics Agency said Thursday it was suspending the company from bidding on future contracts. No changes were made to the firm's current $83.6 million contract with the agency. |
The company, which has made products including safety vests and lightweight backpacks for the military, has also done work for the Army. |
Investigators said the workers toiled in dingy conditions and faced onerous fines, such as a $20 charge for talking while working and spending more than two minutes in the bathroom. |
The U.S. federal government needs to take a holistic approach to security for its own buildings, argues Maureen McAvey. |
McAvey, the executive vice president of the Urban Land Institute, says that officials need to rethink their approach to their own buildings in America's growing urban areas. Writing in Planetizen last month, she argues that officials need to think beyond the individual building and make smarter decisions about where an... |
The location of federal employees, in any community, forms a strong employment base of federal workers and federal government contractors. It can change the course of economic development for an entire region. Locating near transit, and in existing buildings in more centrally positioned locations, is conducive to urban... |
She also lists seven reasons why the federal government should take an "anti-sprawl" stance to its own construction. |
Operate in highly accessible locations with direct connections to affordable housing for employees. Consider co-location as a way to ease the burden on local infrastructure. |
Be a "development catalyst." Enable private development nearby, especially for brownfield locations, that could benefit the broader community. |
