A Long Island youth organization has claimed to become the first non-profit in the country to launch a special program for young people who have severe mental health challenges.
Hope for Youth provides drug prevention, residential housing and foster care services for young people in Nassau and Suffolk counties. They said they developed the nation’s first Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team for those ages 10 to 21 years old with serious mental health issues. The program targets the mental health needs of people who are at-risk of entering or those who are returning home from hospitals and residential treatment centers.
Jaclyn Marro, director of clinical services at Hope For Youth, said that it’s crucial that the family is involved in the process.
“When a child's been impacted by mental health, it impacts the entire family system, so we'll also be a support for the siblings, the parents,” Marro said. “The services we provide for the parents are not just education, but helping them cope with their child's behaviors.”
ACT offers different types of therapy in the homes of the child and their family. Each child has an individualized treatment plan based on their strengths and needs.
They’re provided with personalized therapy and skill-building psychiatry. A social worker can help advocate for the child if they have been charged with a crime and navigate the legal system. The team can also intervene if they’re having problems at school.
“We're going into their homes so we're hoping that we're not just meeting with the youth when we're there, we're asking the questions to the families too,” said Paul Hirsch, director of the ACT team. “We're trying to do family work. We're trying to understand how symptoms result or came about through understanding a longer or a family history of mental illness. So it's not just working with the youth, it's working with the youth and the family.”
Marro said that since launching the ACT team, other counties in New York are talking about launching their own programs.
“We were the first of the first three to go and then several others are on the way of coming out,” Marro said. “I know Nassau should be opening one, I believe in the summer or early fall, and hopefully we open up several more in Suffolk, as well.”
The state awarded $21 million last month to 15 different agencies that have mental health services for similar programs. Hope for Youth is the first to implement a plan out of the approved organizations.
Suffolk Youth ACT has a cap of treating 36 children at any time. They are selected from the state’s referral system, which is accessed by the county's Division of Community Mental Hygiene Services. Once the child is chosen, the ACT team works on trying to figure out the needs of the child and their family. | https://www.wshu.org/long-island-news/2022-04-25/long-island-youth-group-develops-nations-mental-health-team-for-at-risk-kids | 2022-04-25T21:54:59Z | https://www.wshu.org/long-island-news/2022-04-25/long-island-youth-group-develops-nations-mental-health-team-for-at-risk-kids | false | 1 |

A race-winning NASCAR scheme is making a comeback at Darlington Raceway on May 7. Our Motorsports driver Jeb Burton will honor his dad, Ward Burton, with his Throwback Weekend scheme.
The Xfinity Series team announced the news on April 25. Our Motorsports posted a side-by-side comparison of the two schemes. Burton will drive a red and white stock car with throwback door numbers and Solid Rock Carriers logos on the hood and sides. This scheme is a recreation of the No. 27 that Ward took to Victory Lane at Rockingham Speedway in 1992.
“This scheme is special to me, it’s where we got the inspiration to use the No. 27 this season,” Burton said in a press release from Our Motorsports. It’s a number that’s significant to not just my dad but to me as well. When I first started in go-karts, I used the No. 27. I even made my NASCAR debut by driving the No. 27 in the Truck Series. The win dad had with this scheme at Rockingham was huge for his career. Hopefully, we can have one more win with those colors. Big thank you to Solid Rock Carriers for allowing us to do this. Hopefully, we can make them proud!”

The 1992 Season Was Crucial for the Elder Burton
The scheme, which dates back to Ward’s time in what is now the Xfinity Series, has special significance for the family. It was the one that the now-retired driver used to secure his first win in a national NASCAR series.
The 1992 season was Ward’s third overall in the Xfinity Series. He entered the year with 11 career top-10 finishes and two top-fives, but he turned in an even stronger season while driving the No. 27 entry.
Ward started the year with a third-place finish at Daytona International Speedway, and then he followed it up with the win at Rockingham Speedway. He led 22 laps and held off Mark Martin to reach Victory Lane for the first time. This was his second consecutive top-five finish in a season that featured 10 top-10s, three top-fives, and the lone win at Rockingham.
Ward ultimately finished eighth overall in the championship standings after turning in what was a career year at the time. Though he ultimately surpassed it during the 1993 season by winning three times and finishing sixth in the standings.
“It’s great to see that scheme back on track,” Ward added. “That was a fun year with a great group of guys. Winning that race, in Rockingham, was a thrill for me as I was just getting my career started. The fact that Jeb will race this scheme at Darlington is cool for me as well. Winning the Southern 500 in 2001 was a special moment for me and I’m proud to see that legacy carry on with Jeb.”
The Younger Burton Continues To Pursue Wins
The trip to Darlington Raceway will continue Burton’s first Xfinity Series season in the No. 27 Chevrolet Camaro. He is early in his first stint with Our Motorsports, and he is in contention for a playoff spot. Though he has to gain ground during the remaining regular-season races due to currently sitting below the cutline in the 16th position.
Burton, who ran near the front of the pack during the trip to Talladega Superspeedway, has yet to post a top-10 finish in 2022. He has come close with five top-15 finishes in the first nine races and only one DNF.
Burton will continue to pursue top-10s and wins during what will only be his third Xfinity Series start at Darlington Raceway. He made his debut at The Lady in Black during the 2021 season with two starts. He finished 20th overall during Throwback Weekend and then captured fifth during the return to the track on September 4.

A father receives call to the Father’s love
When Steve and Doree Bush, parishioners at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Fort Wayne, followed their daughter Jessica into the Catholic Church several years ago, that made three members of their family to enter the fullness of the faith. Not long after, God began working on their oldest son.
“My story’s really crazy,” said Dan. Dan lives in Arizona, is married to a Catholic and has two children, yet he was not a happy man when his incredible tale began. He describes himself as “a taker; I lied, cheated and stole.” Never did he feel a “heavenly accountability” for the way he used people. Yet something began to change inside of him. He said, “There was a moment that I came to realize I wouldn’t go to heaven.”
After that, Dan became depressed. “I was falling apart, hollow spiritually. I felt like I was drowning.”
Doree told of how she and Steve visited Dan and his family in Arizona periodically, attending Mass with them after she became Catholic. Dan would ask her if she got anything out of it and she responded in the affirmative. “And then he said, ‘I want what you have,’” Doree shared. “So we were just praying for him, and Hollie, his wife, she was praying for him.”
Those prayers came to fruition one day when Dan was driving around and came to a Catholic church where he wanted to pray. “This time I wasn’t praying for selfish reasons. I wanted to get out of my sins.”
Since the church was locked, Dan prayed before the life-sized statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe outside, asking that she intercede for him. Then he stopped at a McDonald’s parking lot and offered his life to God if only God would set him free from his selfishness and despair.
Three days later, Dan remembered rocking his infant son to sleep in the darkened nursery, praying and asking God how He could love such a selfish human being as himself. After laying the baby down, Dan received an utterly divine answer. A sensation came over him as if someone suddenly embraced him from behind and in his heart, he felt the words: “Because I love you.”
The encounter was nearly impossible to describe; it was something too big, too extraordinary for this world. “I felt a bone-crushing love,” he remarked in awe.
Falling to his knees, he could only later say that the paralysis he experienced probably lasted only a matter of seconds, though it felt like hours, and he remembered not breathing. Somehow, he understood it as a father-son kind of love; similar to the instant love he had felt when his first son was born, but thousands of times greater. “It was too much for my physical body to endure.”
Even years later, he remains astonished by those moments. Dan said, “It was like I shed my skin and was reborn. My past was stripped from my body.”
That phenomenon left him desiring the one thing the Catholic Church had that no other denomination could claim – reconciliation. Dan knew he needed to repent of his formerly sinful life and he wanted to do so immediately, but his priest informed him that he had to become Catholic first. Without hesitation, Dan signed up for RCIA.
Dan’s life was completely transformed, but God wasn’t done. He had been called and was about to be sent forth. After that first miraculous encounter, Dan experienced four other astounding events. God chose Dan to be an agent of His love to others in a powerful way through what the Bush family calls “God assignments.”
Some years before his conversion, Dan’s grandmother, Doree’s mother, had passed away. This was the impetus that had launched Doree’s journey to the faith. During that time, she had a dream that, with the help of religious sisters from Uganda, was interpreted to mean that her mother might be in purgatory and needed prayers.
After Doree began fervently praying for her mother, Dan had his own dream. In it, he saw his grandmother – young, beautiful and happy. They embraced and she disappeared. It was only after telling Doree about this dream did she reveal to him her dream and how her mother always wore clothing similar to what Dan described from his dream. The family believes that this was confirmation that Doree’s prayers had been answered and her mother was now in heaven.
The other three occurrences involved prayer and words “spoken to my soul, not my ears,” as he said. Once he was told “Hug him” and knew somehow that God wanted him to hug his neighbor. Dan fought this. He was not a people-person and barely knew the man. It took more prayer and two more signs from God to convince Dan to approach his neighbor and ask if he could hug him.
When they hugged, both men sobbed “like children.” It turned out that his neighbor had been going through a rough time and had even tried to take his own life. All he wanted was a hug; a comforting embrace to know that someone cared about him. Dan provided that.
The next “assignment” involved visiting a coworker who went to prison for a couple years for reasons beyond her control. Aside from her parents and children, Dan was her only visitor. His presence made her feel loved.
Though he no longer questioned the voice inside even when things seemed off-kilter, his last commission was somewhat more complicated. This time, he was asked to go to a young man with bipolar disorder, spending around three hours in a mental hospital talking to him. In that time, he learned a great deal about the condition.
However, that young man did not benefit from that encounter. Dan did. The real mission came at a band concert that Dan, as a music professor, was leading a couple of weeks later. Another young man, a drummer, showed up late after not having attended the earlier practices. Dan recognized the symptoms of bipolar disorder in the young man. “The Holy Spirit filled me with what to say.” Through Dan’s words, the young man became stable enough to perform well in the show, something that astonished his grandmother, who thanked Dan afterwards.
Dan often asks himself why he was chosen to receive these duties. It is both frightening and amazing. “I was probably the most callous one of our family,” he stated, the least likely one to be rewarded with such tasks. The only conclusion he reached is that God is still changing him from the inside out. “Each instance, it became very clear why He wanted me to do these things. They always ended in love. It has taught me to love my neighbor.”
To date, he hasn’t had another mission and wonders when or if he will. Either way, because of these personal encounters, Dan says he has “grown stronger in my faith, in my church. I’m forever grateful for the gift He’s given me.”

DENVER (AP) — Nuggets rookie Bones Hyland pulled up from near Denver's midcourt logo and let his shot fly.
The point guard even kept his right arm in the air, too, just to savor a jumper he knew was going in. He skipped down the court as Golden State called timeout and he held a hand to his ear, soaking in the arena-rattling roar.
From the bench, teammate Nikola Jokic couldn’t help but grin as the reigning MVP took in the second-quarter scene.
Hyland's the latest young talent to embrace the spotlight during his inaugural postseason. His long-range performance — an homage to Stephen Curry, the player he grew up watching — sparked his teammates against the Warriors, helped the Nuggets stave off elimination and, most importantly, gave Jokic some much-needed assistance.
“He did what he’s been doing the whole year, ”said Jokic, whose team is headed to San Francisco for Game 5 on Wednesday trailing 3-1 in the series. “He gave us energy.”
Hyland, the 26th overall pick out of VCU in 2021, has been exhibiting this sort of swagger all season. He’s turned into instant energy for the Nuggets.
It may be too late in this series — no NBA team has come back to win from a 3-0 deficit — but Hyland could provide valuable depth down the road when Jamal Murray (ACL) and Michael Porter Jr. (back) are healthy again.
“Those big shots," Hyland said, "don’t faze me.”
Hyland hit three straight 3-pointers in a second-quarter spurt that extended Denver’s lead to 17 points Sunday. These weren’t your ordinary long-range shots, either.
They were Curry-esque.
He grew up admiring the way the Warriors standout wasn't bashful about launching a shot from any distance.
“He set the foundation for a lot of us players, changing the game with his shooting abilities,” Hyland said after a 126-121 win in Game 4. “I’ve been doing this since I was a little kid. Steph was on the big platform and he showed it to his highest ability. I always give props to the ones who set the foundation before me. Steph's a great shooter."
Back at ya, rookie.
“He seems like he just enjoys playing basketball,” Curry said. “And obviously he deserved to have some fun with those three big shots. He got a lot of separation, got them over the hump, got the crowd into it.”
Simply the confidence of youth shining through.
“It’s electric, man,” said Monte Morris, who hit five 3-pointers in the third quarter on his way to 24 points. “People pay their (hard-earned) money to come see us play, to see Bones get hot.”
Hyland certainly gave them their money’s worth. Just another postseason newcomer making a splash.
Same with New Orleans rookie Herbert Jones, who played smothering defense against the Phoenix Suns and Chris Paul as the Pelicans tied the series at two apiece Sunday. Jones — a second-round pick in '21 — had three blocked shots.
“I’ve never seen a guy this young, this sharp, this smart, this unbothered, unfazed,” teammate CJ McCollum said. “He's going to be very good not only for us but for this league going forward. He'll be first-team all-defense as soon as they start watching Pelicans games.”
Overshadowed by Hyland was the performance of Warriors rookie forward Jonathan Kuminga, who came off the bench to score nine points. He had one point over the previous three games.
“We called on him because we were kind of stuck in mud and he came out there and did a really good job,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said.
It was a rare off night for playoff newcomer Jordan Poole, who was held to 11 points on 3 of 10 shooting. This after erupting for 30, 29 and 27 points.
“As much as we love Jordan, averaging 29, 30 a game, it’s really, really hard,” said Klay Thompson, who had 32 points Sunday, including seven 3-pointers. “We all go through it. We all go through tough shooting nights, or just not feeling like ourselves.”
Hyland's feeling more and more like himself — shooting-wise and energy-wise.
“These past couple games, I just wasn’t myself as far as being aggressive and getting shots up, and also making shots,” Hyland said. “I’m going to make big shots and get that energy flowing throughout the whole team. Because it’s very needed.”

Oreology: Scientists study why Oreo creme can’t split evenly on both cookies
For over 100 years, "milk’s favorite cookie" has been stocked in pantries and kitchens across the globe. Oreos have been a snack staple for millions of people of all ages.
But for those who are fans of twisting and splitting their Oreos to lick the white filling, one thing is for certain - it almost never splits evenly between the chocolate cookies. Why is that? Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) aim to answer that question.
The recent study published in the journal American Institute of Physics on April 19 coined a new field of study named "Oreology" which is essentially studying the flow and fracture of sandwich cookies.
Results of the experiments found that even with the use of a specially-made machine; dunking or not dunking the cookies in milk; using regular-stuffed or double-stuffed test subjects, it was nearly impossible to split an Oreo so that the creme was spread evenly on both sides.
Researchers created a 3D-printed Oreometer specifically made to use the perfect pressure and velocity of twist but the Oreos had an innately "creme-heavy side" which likely happened during the production process, according to the study.
"The results typically show adhesive failure, in which nearly all (95%) creme remains on one wafer after failure, and we ascribe this to the production process, as we confirm that the creme-heavy side is uniformly oriented within most of the boxes of Oreos," study authors wrote.
However, one method proved promising after researchers mushed both cookie ends together, causing the creme filling to alter its integrity, and then pulled the Oreo apart. This yielded better results for an even spread — but it wasn’t perfect.
"The results validated what I saw as a child—we found no trick for opening up our Oreos," Crystal Owens, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering MIT, told Vice. "In essentially all possible twisting configurations, the creme tends to delaminate from one wafer, resulting in one nearly bare wafer and one with almost all the creme. In the case that creme ends up on both wafers, it tends to divide in half so that each wafer has a ‘half-moon’ of creme rather than a thin layer, so there is no secret to get creme evenly everywhere just by twisting open—you have to mush it manually if that's what you want."
Researchers are now setting their sights on the Nutter Butter and possibly looking to study the fruit paste inside [Fig] Newtons, according to the study.
"Our results and methods of investigation may also have widespread application in understanding other torsional events in the kitchen, from braided breads and mixing dough to ideal opening kinematics of stubborn jam jar lids," the study added.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — State House members in Louisiana voted Monday to fine-tune a law enabling either the House or the Senate to end or alter a governor’s emergency declarations.
The bill by Abita Springs Republican Lawrence Frieman follows clashes between Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and some GOP officials over now-expired mitigation efforts, such as mask mandates and public gathering limits, against COVID-19.
Current law already allows either chamber of the Legislature to cancel an entire emergency declaration by using a petition signed by a majority of its members.
The bill approved Monday at the Capitol in Baton Rouge would allow partial cancellation — a move backers said is needed because a complete cancellation could endanger federal funds.
“It allows us to go in with a scalpel,” Frieman said.
The bill was approved on a 65-31 vote over the objections of opponents who said the concept of allowing a single legislative body to cancel an emergency without the assent of the other is unconstitutional.
They also questioned language in Frieman's bill that changes a requirement that the legislative bodies consult with the state Health Department secretary before moving to end a public health emergency. The bill requires consultation with a “public health specialist" with a degree from an accredited public health school. Frieman argued that the the law shouldn't require consultation with an appointee of the governor who makes the declaration.
Rep. Dustin Miller, an Opelousas Democrat, said Frieman should consider requiring consultation with a panel of experts as the bill moves through the legislative process. The bill goes next to the Senate.
House members voted in 2020 to end an Edwards public health emergency declaration. A state judge ruled that the law enabling one legislative body to cancel the declaration was unconstitutional, but the case never ended with a definitive appellate or Supreme Court ruling. An appellate court ruled the issue moot after the emergency order in question had expired.
If Frieman's bill becomes law, it would take effect on Jan. 8, 2024, when a new governor takes office, succeeding the term-limited Edwards. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Single-house-could-end-emergency-under-bill-on-17125806.php | 2022-04-25T22:11:47Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Single-house-could-end-emergency-under-bill-on-17125806.php | false | 11 |
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the U.S. secretaries of state and defense were meeting with the Ukrainian leader in the highest-level visit to Kyiv by an American delegation since the start of the Russian invasion. The adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych, said in an interview on Ukrainian TV late Sunday that the talks are going on “right now.” Zelenskyy’s meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin came as Ukraine pressed the West for more powerful weapons in its fight against the Russian invasion. It began 60 days ago. | https://gorgenewscenter.com/2022/04/25/ukraine-official-zelenskyy-meets-top-level-us-delegation/ | 2022-04-25T22:11:59Z | https://gorgenewscenter.com/2022/04/25/ukraine-official-zelenskyy-meets-top-level-us-delegation/ | false | null |

Since the end of the regular season, 243 football players have passed through the transfer portal on their way out of or into the Pac-12.
And more could follow.
With the May 1 transfer deadline fast approaching, we expect a handful of transfers — and perhaps multiple handfuls — in the final days before the window closes.
(Players who transfer after the deadline must sit out the 2022 season or receive a waiver from the NCAA.)
Where do teams stand at this point in the transfer cycle?
Here’s our look at the winners and losers based on the latest information in the 247Sports database.
Winners
Arizona
Biggest gain: QB Jayden de Laura (from Washington State)
Biggest loss: WR Jalen Curry (to Buffalo)
Comment: The Wildcats have lost 21 players to the portal but few of significance. Meanwhile, a handful of additions could make a deep impact — not only on Arizona but on the shape of the South race. Atop the list is de Laura, of course, but he’ll have immediate from receiver Jacob Cowing, who caught 69 passes for UTEP last season. Defensively, keep an eye on defensive end Tiaoalii Savea, a UCLA transfer and former four-star recruit who should bolster a position of extreme need.
Cal
Biggest gain: QB Jack Plummer (from Purdue)
Biggest loss: WR Nikko Remigio (to Fresno State)
Comment: Remigio’s role as a threat in the passing and return games is significant for a program that has experienced big-play issues in recent years. We expect linebackers Xavier Carlton (from Utah) and Jackson Sirmon (Washington) to solidify the middle of the defense, but Plummer stands as the transfer most likely to affect Cal’s trajectory — and it’s not really close. There’s a void at quarterback without Chase Garbers and a slew of unknowns about the internal replacements.
Oregon
Biggest gain: QB Bo Nix (from Auburn)
Biggest loss: TB Travis Dye (to USC)
Comment: Despite Dye’s departure and the exodus of offensive linemen, the Ducks are in positive territory at this point in the transfer cycle. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez, an honorable-mention all-conference pick last season at Colorado, is a major acquisition given the significance of the position. But after his impressive showing in the spring scrimmage, Nix must be considered the frontrunner for the starting job. The combination of a starting quarterback and cornerback is enough to vault the Ducks into net-positive territory.
USC
Biggest gain: QB Caleb Williams (from Oklahoma)
Biggest loss: K Parker Lewis (to TBD)
Comment: The Trojans would be a portal winner if Williams were their only newcomer, but coach Lincoln Riley has completely rebuilt the skill positions with Dye (Oregon), Austin Jones (Stanford), Brendan Rice (Colorado), Mario Williams (Oklahoma) and Terrell Bynum (Washington). Defensively, USC has added three players, cornerback Mekhi Blackmon (from Colorado) and linebackers Shane Lee (Alabama) and Romello Height (Auburn), who should play significant roles in the salvage operation.
Utah
Biggest gain: LB Mohamoud Diabate (from Florida)
Biggest loss: DE Xavier Carlton (to Cal)
Comment: The combination of Diabate, who will face his former team in the season opener, and Gabe Reid (from Stanford), should help with the momentous task of replacing Devin Lloyd in the middle of the defense. The attrition from Utah’s two-deep has been limited — almost non-existent — as the program prepares to defend its conference title and make a run at the playoff. In contrast to so many peers in the South, and in the best of ways, the Utes are the epitome of dull.
Washington State
Biggest gain: QB Cameron Ward (from Incarnate Word)
Biggest loss: C Brian Greene (to Michigan State)
Comment: Ward not only offsets the loss of de Laura but could well be an upgrade given his familiarity with the offense deployed by new coordinator Eric Morris, who coached Ward last season. The Cougars have experienced significant turnover as measured by the quantity of departures (23). But other than losing Greene, a multi-year starter, the losses should have limited impact. The recent arrival of receiver Zeriah Beason (from Oregon State) adds a quality option to the passing game.
Losers
Arizona State
Biggest gain: DL Nesta Jade Silvera (from Miami)
Biggest loss: QB Jayden Daniels (to LSU)
Comment: Tough to imagine a worse scenario for the Sun Devils, who lost their starting quarterback, top receiver (Ricky Pearsall) and most talented young defender (linebacker Eric Gentry) — and the exodus could continue for a program reeling from a recruiting scandal. Silvera’s presence bolsters what should be a stout defensive front. We considered quarterback Paul Tyson (from Alabama) as the newcomer likely to make the greatest impact, but his lack of experience (16 career attempts) creates uncertainty.
Colorado
Biggest gain: WR R.J. Snead (from Baylor)
Biggest loss: CB Christian Gonzalez (to Oregon)
Comment: With 18 players departing the program since the end of the season, CU is on the short list of FBS teams hit hardest by the portal. The exodus includes most of the Buffaloes’ top performers in the secondary and at the skill positions (receiver Brenden Rice and tailback Jarek Broussard, to name two). The arrival of Snead and running back Ramon Jefferson (from Sam Houston State) will help. But if the portal were a balance sheet, the Buffs would be staring at bankruptcy.
Oregon State
Biggest gain: TB Jamious Griffin (from Georgia Tech)
Biggest loss: WR Champ Flemings (to TBA)
Comment: Griffin is a former four-star recruit and quality addition; he’s also OSU’s only addition at this point. Coach Jonathan Smith had few scholarships available and (not surprisingly) took a selective approach to roster tweaking. That approach naturally places the Beavers at a net-negative in our portal calculation, even though the number of impact departures is low and focused on a single position, receiver, with the loss of Flemings and Zeriah Beason, who’s headed to Washington State.
Stanford
Biggest gain: S Patrick Fields (from Oklahoma)
Biggest loss: TB Nathaniel Peat (to Missouri)
Comment: We feel confident predicting Stanford will never be a transfer portal winner — the admissions standards pose a major challenge for both undergraduate and graduate students. (Fields is the Cardinal’s only newcomer in this cycle.) Peat stands as the most significant departure instead of leading rusher Austin Jones, who left for USC, because of his big-play speed and success as a kick returner. But the combination is a major blow to a running game that struggled even with both players in the lineup.
UCLA
Biggest gains: LBs Grayson and Gabriel Murphy (from North Texas)
Biggest loss: LB Mitchell Agude (to Miami)
Comment: The attrition continues under Chip Kelly, with 18 players entering the portal (most of them on defense). But the Bruins have done well to minimize the losses. We selected the Murphy brothers, who committed to UCLA in early March, because of the two-for-one nature of their arrival and the deep need for edge rushers after Agude’s departure. Two more arrivals to watch: Gary Smith, a 320-pound defensive tackle (from Duke), and Raiqwon O’Neal, a former All-Big Ten offensive lineman (from Rutgers).
Washington
Biggest gain: QB Michael Penix Jr (from Indiana)
Biggest loss: WR Terrell Bynum (to USC)
Comment: Busy times in Seattle as first-year coach Kalen DeBoer attempts to upgrade his depth chart despite significant attrition on both sides of scrimmage. We hesitated to pick Penix as the top newcomer given that he might not win the job, but anyone with the potential to improve UW’s quarterback play is significant. Keep an eye on tailbacks Wayne Taulapapa (from Virginia Tech) and Aaron Dumas (from New Mexico). Defensively, linebacker Cam Bright (from Pittsburgh) is an important addition.

‘A bit crazy’: Tyson Fury accused of ‘illegal, dirty’ tactics
Dillian Whyte has accused Tyson Fury of “dirty” tactics during the WBC heavyweight champion’s victory at Wembley.
Fury retained his world title with a sixth round stoppage against Whyte, the British star ending the bout with a devastating upper cut.
However, Whyte believes the referee should have penalised Fury for shoving him before his head thumped against the canvas.

“I was buzzed but obviously I was trying to regather my senses and he proper pushed me and I fell over and hit my head on the canvas, which is illegal,” Whyte told Sky Sports on Monday.
“This isn’t wrestling, this is boxing. I should have been allowed extra time to recover and then carried on fighting.
“I got caught, no doubt about it. I got caught by a good shot. I was hurt, I was trying to get my senses together and he full on, two-handed pushed me. It wasn’t like a one-armed thing.
“I should have had time to recover, time to go back to my corner, but Tyson Fury gets away with a lot of things.”
Whyte claimed Fury headbutted him after he sustained a gash over his right eye, the first time the Briton had sustained a cut in 31 professional fights.
“He kept on leaning down to the side and putting the head in and stuff like that,” he said.
“He leans down and he put the head in, he clashed with me and I got the cut and obviously the ref started telling me off.
“The fight spiralled a bit, until he started punching me in the back of the head. I started doing it to him and then his corner started throwing water and stuff like that, which was a bit crazy.
“I kept on getting all the blame. He was the one that was holding, he was the one that was headbutting and being dirty in the fight.” | https://www.foxsports.com.au/boxing/boxing-2022-tyson-fury-vs-dillian-whyte-result-video-reaction/news-story/7aacd3a5e6ec806009c65db9154f5858 | 2022-04-25T22:29:10Z | https://www.foxsports.com.au/boxing/boxing-2022-tyson-fury-vs-dillian-whyte-result-video-reaction/news-story/7aacd3a5e6ec806009c65db9154f5858 | false | 8 |

TORONTO - The Toronto Marlies have signed suspended NCAA goaltender Dryden McKay to a two-year American Hockey League contract.
McKay was handed a six-month ban on April 18 for an anti-doping violation after leading Minnesota State University to the Frozen Four national championship game.
The suspension was announced by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
A supplement he took to help protect him from COVID-19 was the source of the positive test. McKay said he accepted the suspension so that he could be ready for professional hockey in the fall.
The Marlies, the AHL affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs, say McKay will be eligible to voluntarily enter the organization’s facilities on Aug. 25 and play for the team on Oct. 11.
McKay finished the season at Minnesota State with a 38-5 mark. He was named the Hobey Baker Award winner as the top player in NCAA men's hockey.

A good chef understands how to craft an exceptional meal with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. A great chef understands how to craft an exceptional meal with those ingredients in a way that entices specific patrons’ palates.

Tavel Bristol-Joseph, Canje
Once known particularly for his sweeter side (indeed, Food & Wine magazine recently referred to him as a “pastry savant”), Tavel Bristol-Joseph has proven to Austin that he’s far more than a one-trick pony. With the recent opening of Canje, the “new age Caribbean restaurant” from the prolific Emmer & Rye restaurant group, in which Bristol-Joseph is a partner, the executive chef is helming perhaps his most personal project yet. With the goal of paying tribute to his Caribbean roots and honoring his Guyana heritage, Canje affords Bristol-Joseph the opportunity to immerse himself and Austin diners in the effervescent flavors and techniques unique to the Caribbean. From imaginative dishes Austinites can relate to but that include a riff on ingredients (red snapper ceviche with sour orange, peanuts, sweet peppers, and taro chips) to perfectly seasoned traditional dishes (jerk chicken with charred tomato), and, of course, luscious desserts, Bristol-Joseph is ushering Austin’s restaurant scene into a new era of flavor vibrancy.
Damien Brockway, Distant Relatives
While many a Texan is unabashedly dedicated to the art of barbecue, they may not possess a keen understanding of how history has affected the craft. That’s far from the case for Damien Brockway, whose Distant Relatives barbecue food truck serves “modern African American fare” and draws inspiration from the “textures, flavors, heritage, and narrative of the African diaspora within the United States,” particularly as this relates to hardwood smoke, spices, preservation techniques, and true nose-to-tail cooking. While he graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and honed his skills at a variety of fine-dining establishments throughout the country, it is this chef’s mastery of all things ’cue, combined with his inherent drive to foster creativity, collaboration, and community, that have contributed to Brockway’s escalating prevalence in Austin. There’s no doubt he’ll continue to garner some smokin’ praise as one of the best chefs in town.
Kevin Fink, Emmer & Rye
For yet another year, Emmer & Rye’s steadfast captain, chef Kevin Fink — a partner in the local restaurant group and the guiding light at the farm-focused local culinary destination that is Emmer & Rye — gets some well-deserved kudos from CultureMap as one of Austin’s best chefs. This world traveler and culinary pioneer grew his expertise at acclaimed eateries throughout the country and the world, including working stints at restaurants in Italy and Denmark, as well as laboring for a stretch at America’s quintessential dining establishment, chef Thomas Keller’s esteemed French Laundry in California. And although during his career he’s assembled an impressive variety of honors from the best culinary organizations and publications far and wide, it is Fink’s commitment to proffering a regularly changing menu of farm-fresh, seasonal fare, and his insistence on extensive in-house crafting of local ingredients that keep Austinites coming back to Emmer & Rye again and again. We can’t wait to see what he cooks up next.
Michael Fojtasek, Olamaie
Executive chef Michael Fojtasek has been an Austin favorite for years. And it’s no wonder. With a Texas upbringing, an early introduction to spectacular Southern cooking, an imposing resume, and a fresh approach to creating elegant, perfectly indulgent Southern fare, Fojtasek is well-suited to steer Austin’s culinary community. Fojtasek takes his charge seriously, almost as much as he cherishes his family’s Southern roots. In fact, his crown jewel restaurant, Olamaie, was named after his mother and three generations of Olamaies before her, as well as his daughter, who carries on the family name tradition. And while his unparalleled Olamaie menu of tantalizing Southern dishes continues to excite Austin diners, it is perhaps his continual evolution as a chef and restaurateur that most impresses Austinites. In addition to his wildly popular pandemic-spawned Little Ola’s Biscuits, Fojtasek recently announced the May 1 opening of his new South Congress Hotel steakhouse, Maie Day, which promises to be “a daily festival of food and community.” We’re ready to feast!
Kristen Kish, Arlo Grey
One of Austin’s most lauded female chefs excels at preparing brilliant dishes influenced by French and Italian culinary traditions mixed with nostalgic and whimsical inspirations from her Midwest upbringing. And while diners at her downtown lakeside restaurant Arlo Grey are eating it up, they may not realize chef Kristen Kish’s rise in the Austin culinary scene is but her latest triumph. The chef, who was born in South Korea and raised in Michigan, took to cooking at a young age. After attending Le Cordon Blue, she propelled her culinary prowess into an admirable career that has included gigs at Michelin-starred restaurants and work under some of the country’s most acclaimed cooks. Of course, it was her coveted win on season 10 of Bravo’s Top Chef that made her a household name and enabled her to build on her chef-testant fame as the host of several food-focused TV programs and the author of her first cookbook. But it was her move to the Capital City in 2018 and the subsequent opening of her first restaurant, Arlo Grey, that has made Kish an Austin icon.
Fermin Nunez, Suerte
While the name of this beloved east side Mexican restaurant is Spanish for “luck,” there’s zero luck involved in how Suerte has become a dominating force in the Austin restaurant scene since opening in 2018. It’s owing to the accomplished culinary artistry and clever yet humble approach to food that executive chef Fermin Nunez utilizes in crafting a curated menu of flavorful Mexican dishes with local ingredients. A Mexico native, Nunez cut his teeth at lionized Austin eateries like Launderette, La Condesa, and Uchiko before opening his Suerte gem. And he’s not stopping with the perfect Mexican restaurant; later this summer, Nunez and Suerte partner Sam Hellman-Mass will open Este, a Mexican seafood restaurant that will sprout in the long-loved East Austin locale that once housed Eastside Cafe. Heralded among top culinary organizations as an industry leader — including a recent honor from Food & Wine, which named him Best New Chef 2021 — Nunez could build his first-rate culinary empire anywhere. We’re just lucky he chose Austin.
Zechariah Perez, Sour Duck Market
Born and raised in Texas, it’s no surprise chef Zechariah Perez got his start in the restaurant biz at a barbecue hot spot several decades ago. Never mind that he worked not as a pitmaster or chef, but as a modest dishwasher. Hard work and dedication to his culinary education soon advanced him to line cook and prep cook positions. Later, after attending culinary school, Perez continued to hone his craft at a variety of Texas hotels, country clubs, and eateries before opening his popular Austin breakfast trailer, Paperboy, and joining the much-loved Bryce Gilmore restaurant group in Austin, where he has spent the majority of his career and has gained cooking acclaim in his own right. As the executive chef of Gilmore’s neighborhood bakery, café, and cocktail garden, Sour Duck Market, Perez continues to entrance Austin eaters with his scratch-made offerings, which range from decadent breakfast pastries and tacos to bratwurst and one heck of a spectacular double cheeseburger.
Edgar Rico, Nixta Taqueria
If there’s been one chef’s name on Austinites’ lips for the past couple years, it’s definitely Edgar Rico. With the opening of his essential east side taqueria, Nixta, in 2019, the Culinary Institute of America-trained chef introduced this taco-obsessed town to the ancient corn-tortilla-making process of nixtamalization (which has since become all the rage at many a Capital City taco house) and made an immediate splash in a city that was already home to dozens of taquerias. Rico comes by his passion for and talent in creating craveable fare naturally. And though his culinary background is extensive, he says he first fell in love with food at the age of 10, when he cooked his family’s Thanksgiving meal. He claims Nixta is the culmination of what food means to him: “imaginative creations that are steeped in technique, history, tradition, and finesse.” Those finessed creations have not gone unnoticed by Austin taco lovers or extolled culinary institutions, including the James Beard Foundation, which recently named Rico a James Beard Award finalist in the Emerging Chef category. Now that’s something to taco ’bout! | https://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/04-25-22-austin-best-chefs-tastemaker-awards-nominees/ | 2022-04-25T22:33:57Z | https://austin.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/04-25-22-austin-best-chefs-tastemaker-awards-nominees/ | false | 1 |
GREAT FALLS — The Great Falls Children’s Receiving Home and the Junior League of Great Falls are teaming up to continue the fight against child abuse.
The Great Falls Children’s Receiving Home (website) is a safe haven for victims of violence and provides foster and emergency care for up to 14 children at a time.
Junior League of Great Falls (website) works to improve the lives of women and children and promote female leaders.
“It’s unfortunately a very, very big problem in our community and these kids are the future. If we can give them a little light in their life that is dark, then that’s important,” said Shawna Severson, board member of the Great Falls Children’s Receiving Home board.
Kristina Remsen, Junior League fund development chair, said, “The child abuse epidemic unfortunately is at a very high rate and has been for some time. Both of our organizations work together to combat that, so the money we raise at the event helps us do our activities throughout the year.”
The western-themed fundraiser called “Cowboy Cabaret: Bluegrass and Blue Jeans” will be on Saturday, May 7th, at The Newberry at 420 Central Avenue in downtown Great Falls.

MILFORD, Del.- A Milford School District custodian is facing multiple charges related to child pornography, the district says.
According to Superintendent Dr. Kevin Dickerson, the child pornography found on the employee's personal device were from the internet. Dr. Dickerson says none of the victims were Milford students.
Dr. Dickerson says the district is cooperating with the Department of Justice and says the custodian is on leave pending further employment action, as the DOJ investigates.
"If true, this conduct is reprehensible," he says. "While we are grateful there are no Milford victims, this is not a victimless crime, and our hearts go out to the depicted children."
Dr. Dickerson says the school will communicate any additional information as necessary. | https://www.wrde.com/news/milford-custodian-arrested-for-child-porn-no-local-victims-known/article_645920e4-c4cb-11ec-a09f-ff8d3ba099f6.html | 2022-04-25T22:39:25Z | https://www.wrde.com/news/milford-custodian-arrested-for-child-porn-no-local-victims-known/article_645920e4-c4cb-11ec-a09f-ff8d3ba099f6.html | true | null |

The LT Marg police has arrested three persons for allegedly breaking into the office of a jeweller at Javeri bazaar in south Mumbai and stealing cash and valuables worth Rs 36 lakh in the intervening night of April 17 and 18.
The men arrested on Thursday are Vicky Kanse (30), Parshuram Mane (25) and Sagar Kanse (30). Vicky and Sagar are brothers. Sagar had worked at the jeweller’s before shifting to Satara.
“They were struggling to repay some loan when Sagar told Vicky about the possibility of stealing from his former employee,” said an officer. The duo roped in Mane. On April 17, Sagar took the staff for a movie at Maratha Mandir around 9pm. Around 10.30pm, Vicky and Mane broke into the office and escaped with the jewellery.
The incident came to light once the employees returned to the office. A complaint was registered with the LT Marg police. “When we showed the CCTV footage to the employees, one of them said one of the masked men appeared like Sagar’s brother,” said an officer.
Sagar was taken in custody and he confessed to the crime. “We have recovered the stolen ornaments from Mane’s house,” said an officer.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — He stood atop the winning Chevrolet at Talladega Superspeedway ready to celebrate in his own signature way. But when Ross Chastain smashed a month-old watermelon onto the track, the crowd roared as if it was an Earnhardt who had just snatched a thrilling, last-lap victory.
It was “unlike anything I’ve ever experienced," said the eighth-generation watermelon farmer from Florida.
“I want it to smash; I don’t want it to just bust open,” Chastain said. "I heard (the cheers) and I felt them. The car was shaking. Then my legs started shaking. My arms were shaking. I took a second, scanned left to right, so like from the start/finish line was in my peripheral, I scanned down to the tri-oval, people were going crazy. It was wild. Smashed it and they erupted again.
"It’s indescribable. I don’t have the words, but just the feeling they pumped into me was what you dream of. That’s what I wanted to do when I first wanted to show watermelons, if I was ever able to win a race, I wanted that feeling. I wanted that reaction.”
Rewind to 2018 and Chastain was just another struggling racecar driver desperate for a big team to give him a chance. He drove a motorhome for Spire Motorsports to the track most weeks to earn extra cash; the top drivers fly to the races, where their luxury home-at-the-track is waiting and stocked with groceries. Chastain needed a side hustle.
The CEO of DC Solar took notice of Chastain at the track one day washing the Spire motorhome and decided to back him with company money in an Xfinity Series ride for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2019. Little more than a month later, the FBI accused DC Solar of being a Ponzi scheme and the deal collapsed.
Ganassi closed the Xfinity Series team, Chastain was back at square one and the DC Solar CEO was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The next few seasons were a rollercoaster for Chastain, who desperately wanted to prove he deserved a top Cup ride. He made mistakes, wrecked with teammates and won just one Xfinity race after the Ganassi deal fell apart.
Then Ganassi called again ahead of the 2021 season to fill Kyle Larson's seat. And that was going pretty good up until Ganassi shocked the industry by selling his entire NASCAR organization to Justin Marks last June.
Now the driver was again panicked — even a little nauseous — at starting all over again.
Marks, who along with partner Pitbull has built Trackhouse Racing into a winning team in just its second season, assured Chastain that things would be fine. He signed him to drive with essentially his entire Ganassi team from last year and told him to relax.
The result is two wins in the last five races, a guaranteed spot for Chastain and Trackhouse in the playoffs and two gloriously smashed watermelons. The first one he smashed on the road course at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas a month ago.
“Ross has spent a number of years in his career fighting every lap of every race because tomorrow wasn’t given, because next week was not guaranteed,” Marks said. “I’ve seen and continue to see so much talent in him that my goal was to put him in a position where he didn’t have to do that, where he had some job security.”
“He’s now comfortable in his job and skin, understands and knows this team is being built around him," Marks added. "He can take a breath, be more calculated, not try to get it all right now in this moment.”
That's what won Chastain the race on Sunday.
Unlike previous superspeedway races when Chastain often made the wrong strategic moves or, worse, made outright mistakes that led to wrecked cars, he remained determined not to screw anything up. He stayed in the bottom lane behind leader Erik Jones and wasn't going to budge.
When Jones moved up a lane in a defensive block on Larson as they exited the final turn, Chastain just kept his foot on the gas. It was nothing but clear track in front of him and Jones had his hands full holding off Larson in the top lane.
That patience and maturity earned Chastain the shocking victory. He led only the final stretch of racetrack to the finish line the entire race.
“The patience side, it’s hard,” Chastain said. “It’s so hard. Every split-second decision has to be quick, but also you have to be able to live with the consequences of it. I just thought that was my best maneuver, which I never thought that before. I made the mistake several times in Xfinity cars (when) I moved up or made a move, and (someone else) went on to win the race."
He will have a new watermelon this Sunday at Dover in Delaware If Chastain continues to show the same maturity, Trackhouse may need to replenish its supply.

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who was most recently seen in Bachchhan Paandey (2022), on Monday announced that he has started filming for his next movie, a Hindi remake of the Tamil film Soorarai Pottru (2020).
The remake will be directed by Sudha Kongara, who also helmed the Suriya-starrer original, which premiered on Prime Video in November 2020.
Akshay took to Twitter to announce the commencement of the shoot and also asked his fans to drop suggestions for the title of the project.
“With the auspicious coconut-breaking and a small prayer in our heart, we begin the filming of our yet untitled film which is about dreams and the power of it. In case you’ll have any title suggestions, do share and of course, your best wishes,” the actor wrote alongside a video from the set with co-actor Radhika Madan and Kongra.
Soorarai Pottru (Praise the brave) revolved around Nedumaaran Rajangam or “Maara”, who sets out to make the common man fly and, in the process, takes on the world’s most capital-intensive industry with the help of his family, friends, and sheer will power. It was partly inspired by events from the life of Air Deccan founder Captain G R Gopinath.
Vikram Malhotra-led Abundantia Entertainment and 2D Entertainment led by Suriya, Jyothika Sadanah and Rajsekar Pandian will be partnering on the Hindi film. Akshay also tagged Capt Gopinath, Malhotra, Suriya, and Jyothika in his post. The Hindi remake was announced last year in July.
Aside from this project, Akshay Kumar also has Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, Gorkha, OMG 2, and Selfiee in the pipeline.

RCMP say British Columbia’s police watchdog has been notified after two incidents involving officers on Vancouver Island, including the death of a man in custody.
The Mounties say officers from the Comox Valley detachment responded to a call about a stranger on a property around 4:30 a.m. Saturday and arrested a man whom they believed was intoxicated.
A statement released by Sgt. Chris Manseau says officers brought the man to RCMP cells without incident, but during the course of regular wellness checks, a guard noticed the man was unresponsive.
The statement says officers provided first aid until emergency health personnel arrived to take him to hospital, where he later died.
The Independent Investigations Office has been notified to determine whether police actions played a role in the man’s death.
In an arrest in Nanaimo on Friday, police say officers were called to a complaint of an intoxicated man who was being verbally aggressive to a fellow tenant and he was hurt in an altercation with an officer at the jail.
Police say paramedics later took the man to hospital for injuries to his leg and arm.

Knox County’s Volunteer Network on Aging reopened on Monday.
It closed when the pandemic started in March 2020, now it has a new computer room. The fitness room reopened as well as the dining room for its hot meals program.
Anita Nichols is a senior who uses the workout equipment they offer.
“Very convenient it’s small it has everything you need to work your upper and lower body I can work a walk on the treadmill and not have the pain I have when I walk on concrete,” said Nichols.
On Monday the VNA welcomed back seniors to their dining area and enjoy a warm meal.
For some it was their first time going to the VNA, which was the case of Dale Logsdon who heard about the hot meals program through a friend.
“He said you just drive up and they come out and bring the meal to you which is good for people who haven’t gotten up in years,” said Lodsdon. “I live by myself now so its really neat to get a good cook meal.”
VNA program director Angie Olivas said they’re making sure things are always getting cleaned.
“Everything is clean that we have a professional cleaner come in twice a week we also do disinfect surfaces end of individuals can also disinfect the machines are using at the fitness center,” said Olivas.
VNA has been providing services for seniors in Knox County for over 100 years. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/local-news/vna-in-galesburg-reopens-after-shutting-down-because-of-covid19/ | 2022-04-25T22:51:34Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/local-news/vna-in-galesburg-reopens-after-shutting-down-because-of-covid19/ | true | 1 |

QUILCENE, Wash. — Authorities in Washington said firefighters had to rescue a California woman who fell into a toilet at a national park while trying to retrieve her cellphone.
The Brinnon Fire Department said on its Facebook page that on April 19 at 3 p.m., a woman in her 40s was using the restroom at Olympic National Forest when she dropped her cellphone into the toilet.
She first took apart the toilet seat and tried using dog leashes to try to get it out.
"Eventually, she took the leashes to help support herself, which failed, and she slid into and fell into the vault head first," the fire department said.
After trying for about 15 to 20 minutes to get herself out, she could grab her cell phone and call 911 for help.
Crews with Brinnon Fire and Quilcene Fire responded to the mountain top.
"The crews made a makeshift cribbing platform by passing them down to the patient," the Brinnon Fire Department said. "After making it tall enough for her to stand on, the crew pulled the victim to safety."
The department said the woman was uninjured and did not want to be transported.
She was washed off and "strongly encouraged to seek medical attention after being exposed to human waste, but she only wanted to leave," the department said.
The department said she thanked the first responders and continued her trip back to California.
"The patient was extremely fortunate not to be overcome by toxic gases or sustain injury," the department said. | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/woman-rescued-from-washington-national-park-toilet-after-falling-in-to-get-phone | 2022-04-25T22:52:27Z | https://www.kristv.com/news/national/woman-rescued-from-washington-national-park-toilet-after-falling-in-to-get-phone | false | 11 |

WESTERVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) — I’m guessing at some point in your life you have said “That was worth the wait!” because you finally got what you wanted.
Megan Sherer and her husband Mike are exactly the opposite. Cancer stopped them from getting the family they wanted.
So they started a foundation to help others get what they want.
I asked them to tell me more. Watch the report in the player above.

How Halifax plans to use property tax hike to tackle climate change
Municipal official says $18M a year to be placed in a reserve for climate action
In order to tackle the impacts of climate change and transition to net-zero emissions, Halifax will be allocating three percentage points of a 4.6 per cent property tax hike toward a climate plan.
Shannon Miedema, the municipality's director of environment and climate change, spoke with CBC Information Morning Halifax host Portia Clark about how it plans to use the new revenue.
According to Miedema, $18 million a year will be put into a reserve for climate action and $9.6 million will be spent in the capital plan.
She will be moderating a session on how communities can deal with consequences of climate change and achieve their climate goals at an Emera-sponsored smart energy conference in Halifax on Tuesday.
Like all the other panellists at the two day event, Miedema said she will be addressing the five Ws: Who's leading the way? What are the outcomes? When do we start? Where do we find solutions. Why are we waiting?
This is a condensed version of Miedema's CBC conversation that has been edited for clarity and length.
You can listen to their full interview here:
There seem to be three main initiatives on your radar for each year. Let's start with electric vehicles. What's the plan there?
We had our electric vehicle strategy approved by council late last year ... and that means putting in public charging infrastructure all over HRM so that we have a connected network. That [way] everyone feels comfortable with the idea of purchasing an electric vehicle that they'll always be able to charge when they need to. And also converting our corporate fleet, we have over 300 vehicles that we manage, over to electric.
Does that include our public transportation?
That was part of the three per cent tax — to electrify transit buses as well. They are preparing for their first 30 buses and then they get another 30 the following year.
It's for 2023. They're about to award the tender and they're going through the design process now.
What is another of the three main areas that this money will go toward?
The other one is on HRM's municipal buildings.
We own about 300 buildings. One of our targets in the plan is to reduce energy by at least half on average on all of our buildings and put renewables on where it makes sense to, solar typically. And also to look at resilience to climate impacts.
That's kind of a long-term initiative and it has a good payback, but there's an upfront investment that's required.
The third prong is adaptation. What does that mean in a Halifax context?
We talk a lot about preparing for the impacts that we are seeing now and that are predicted to worsen over time.
One of the things that we really need to start looking at is our critical infrastructure and making sure that it's resilient to impacts. This means putting some money aside to do some large capital investment.
If you think about things like eroding or flooding coastal shore roads, for example.
It's also things like food security, telecommunications, shelters. There's a pretty broad definition of critical infrastructure by the federal government.
That's an area of work that we really want to get going on.
And can you tap into some federal dollars for that, too?
There is a lot of federal money and we have applied for a really interesting new fund. It's a natural infrastructure fund. It's looking at a piece of infrastructure and thinking about green solutions for it. Looking at things like plantings and oyster beds off the shore to kind of minimize wave action and things like that.
There was a vote on this, whether to do this tax increase and devote it to climate change. Council vote was 13 to 3, I believe. Are there people who don't support this tax hike? What do you say to them?
The property tax hike was required regardless of funding climate. But really we don't have an option on whether or not we're going to spend on climate.
It's whether we control how we're going to spend it and ideally spend less of it now. Or if we wait and have to spend a pile of money dealing with the implications of not acting down the road.
It's trying to be preventative, it's trying to be urgent because our window of time is really narrowing.
If we don't drive our emissions down collectively by 2030, we're going to have much worse impacts.

How one warehouse union could change Amazon from the inside out
Breaking down the potential ripple effect of JFK-8’s vote to unionize
However you feel about unions, there is no denying that the vote to unionize an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island marks an inflection point for the e-commerce superpower.
At the beginning of the month, the workers of Amazon’s JFK-8 fulfillment center voted to join a new local organization, the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), by a vote of 2,654 to 2,131. But the nation’s second-largest employer is already pushing back.
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) acted swiftly after the vote, leveling accusations of voter coercion and intimidation by the ALU in a filing with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The company had until last Friday to provide proof of those allegations, which the NLRB will take time to review.
If the NLRB rules against Amazon, then the vote at the Staten Island facility will mark the first time in Amazon’s 28-year history that one of its facilities successfully unionized. But what would that win really mean for the workers of JFK-8, for Amazon, and for the millions of workers at its hundreds of U.S. facilities who just witnessed an unprecedented victory?
“While the first successful campaign to unionize workers at an Amazon warehouse might be considered historical and a game-changer, it remains to be seen whether the ALU will have continued success,” Richard E. Custin, clinical professor of business law and ethics at the University of San Diego’s Knauss School of Business, told Modern Shipper.
Breaking the mold
A good way to gauge the ALU’s path ahead could be to look at some similar cases.
Even among the few companies that leverage a nationwide network of warehouses, Amazon is still somewhat unique. UPS, which operates a network comparable to Amazon’s, has been unionized for decades through the Teamsters, an international labor union with over one million members in the U.S. and Canada. But the circumstances that led to UPS unionizing don’t necessarily apply to Amazon.
“UPS has been around much longer than Amazon,” Dr. Richard Kilgore, instructor of management and business administration at Maryville University, told Modern Shipper. “And those efforts started way back when UPS was more of a trucking company, rather than a third party logistics company.”
Kilgore thinks a more apt comparison for Amazon would be Walmart, which has successfully discouraged its own warehouse workers from unionizing. He said part of what makes both companies unique in the warehousing space is the sheer scale of their networks. That size can create a fragmented workforce — and fragmented unionization efforts.
“It is a local type of union rather than a national type of union, in that very few companies have so many distribution centers across the country,” Kilgore explained.
Watch: Amazon’s antitrust defense system is being fortified
That’s not to say that entities like the Teamsters haven’t tried to recruit local Amazon facilities to join a larger national union. A countrywide organization called the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) attempted to support workers in a union vote at another Amazon fulfillment center in Bessemer, Alabama.
But those efforts didn’t exactly pan out — pro-union voters were crushed by a margin of 1,738 to 798.
“It’s an external entity, a third party. Nobody knows these people. They’re coming in and trying to get you excited about organizing as a local union within their national union,” Kilgore reasoned, “whereas the Staten Island effort was a grassroots, bottom-up movement.”
While the pro-union workers at the Bessemer facility will get another shot — the NLRB ordered a revote after ruling that Amazon interfered in the election — they might have benefitted by taking a page from their New York counterparts’ playbook.
At the Bessemer warehouse, union organizers were backed by the 56,000-member RWDSU. The workers at JFK-8 in Staten Island, meanwhile, got most of their funding from a GoFundMe. Yet Christian Smalls and Derrick Palmer, the two men who founded the ALU, used the $120,000 they raised in that fundraiser to strike fear into the heart of a multibillion dollar company.
“Amazon, as one of the largest private companies in the United States, has unlimited resources to oppose unionization,” Custin said. “However, in a David and Goliath battle, the ALU, unlike a well-funded and traditional Teamster campaign, successfully manipulated grassroots activities such as crowdsourcing and small intimate gatherings to score a victory over Amazon.”
A recipe for success
So why did things work in Staten Island? For one, Amazon warehouse workers have made it clear that they are unhappy with their treatment, particularly since the advent of COVID. Stories of employees facing near-constant surveillance, being required to meet unrealistic productivity quotas and, yes, peeing in bottles have come out in recent years, which provided the Staten Island employees with a motive to unionize.
“The ALU’s strategic win can be credited to a post-COVID work environment and a direct challenge to Amazon’s close monitoring of worker productivity, which often results in worker dissatisfaction, especially if carried to an extreme,” explained Custin.
Second, while many workers in Bessemer viewed the RWDSU as an enemy, most of the workers in Staten Island felt that the real enemy was Amazon. In Bessemer, Amazon enlisted an anti-union consultancy to act as an opposing force to the RWDSU. It argued that settling disputes internally would be better for employees than working with an outside entity that might not have their best interests in mind.

Read: Analysis: Will Amazon quash its warehouse unionization movement?
Contrast that to Staten Island. Amazon again spent millions to bring in anti-union consultants but because the movement at JFK-8 was homegrown, workers there saw Amazon as the outsider attempting to hijack their efforts.
Third, Kilgore believes that New York’s high rate of unionization — second only to Hawaii — helped foster an atmosphere of togetherness among the Staten Island workers. Many of these employees were used to seeing unions succeed. Some may have even had family members that were in them. That made their arduous task seem a bit more realistic.
“I don’t know too many examples of that being the path to unionization at warehouses — ever,” Kilgore said of JFK-8’s grassroots strategy.
But nevertheless, it worked, and it could spur change from Amazon’s top brass.
“Time will tell whether the ALU is a JV squad or simply a one-off,” Custin speculated. “The ball is now in Amazon’s court to make meaningful changes in the workplace.”
Amazon’s next move
According to Kilgore, the threat of unionization alone might be enough to get Amazon to make concessions. Already, an Amazon facility across the street from JFK-8 is preparing for its own union vote, also backed by the ALU. That’s in addition to another warehouse in New Jersey that has expressed interest in its own election.
Kilgore predicts that other Amazon and non-Amazon warehouses in highly unionized areas — think cities like Chicago or Atlanta, where a group of Apple employees inspired by the ALU’s win at JFK-8 are attempting to unionize — will follow suit, starting their own grassroots movements. And that potential nightmare, from Amazon’s standpoint, could finally lead to some action.
“The best thing for the Amazon employees nationwide is simply the threat of this happening in another place. It’s going to make Amazon a much better parent,” he asserted. “They’ll want to make it look like Staten Island is the best place to work ever. The management of Staten Island would be dumb not to, because they want to use this example to show everybody else.”
Kilgore thinks Amazon will attempt to improve the working conditions of its facilities, starting with JFK-8. He doesn’t predict sweeping changes. But the company might make some smaller concessions as a way to discourage other facilities from following Staten Island.
That’s important, because it could be months — or even years — before the ALU formally unionizes JFK-8.
“The step they’ve taken is really the first in a series of steps. It’s not over — they haven’t really been unionized until they ratify the contract,” Kilgore explained. “If Amazon wants to, they can stretch that out over multiple years. Then you have years of contract negotiations going on, and you could have lawsuits coming up because of that.”
In the meantime, the ALU will attempt to spread its influence to other Amazon warehouses, beginning with LDJ5, the other Staten Island facility. Kilgore believes the union could follow in the footsteps of Ford employees. Those workers unionized the entire company warehouse by warehouse, ultimately forming a companywide organization.
It will most likely take years for the ALU or another organization to win over enough facilities to do the same. But the ball is rolling, and it’s now in Amazon’s court.

Sennheiser’s latest push for premium noise cancelling earphones covers almost every possible area to make them compelling. Are the Momentum True Wireless 3 the new best ANC earphones around?
No two earphones are the same, and that’s one of the reasons why there is so much to pick between when it comes to finding a pair for you. Some of the oldest and most established brands in the world are competing with new players, with models hitting various price points, too. In fact, you can now find active noise cancellation (ANC) earphones across so many price points, it has almost become a standard feature for earphones. Almost, almost.
We’re not quite there yet, but it’s certainly pushing hard, and only a year after we saw the Momentum True Wireless 2, Sennheiser is back with a new model, in the Momentum TW3. Are these the best attempt Sennheiser has offered yet, and do they compete with the obvious offerings from Bose, Sony, and Apple?
Design and features
Designed with 7mm drivers and a good three microphones on each ear, Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 3 are clearly focused on competing in the growing noise cancellation crowd, which is growing almost crazily.
The build feels like a combination of polymers, but it’s one that has been proofed for a bit of sweat, thanks to an IPX4 splash resistance, not quite water resistance, but still good enough for a light burst of rain and the sweat your ears will make as you run.
The main point of these earphones isn’t going to be the resistance to the elements, but rather the sound quality and noise cancellation, the latter of which supports a variant of adaptive active noise cancellation reliant on an app for your phone.
That app also delivers customisable touch controls, a sound personalisation tweaking feature, and some equaliser support, while the earphones themselves are rather for up to 7 hours of battery life with an extra three charges in the case, the latter of which you can charge using either a Type C cable or a wireless charger.
In-use
Slip the Momentum True Wireless 3 in your ears and if you’ve ever experienced the first generation of the Momentum True Wireless earphones, because these are actually comfortable. That’s something we couldn’t really say about the originals from 2019, but we can definitely say about the 2022 edition.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are comfortable earphones, and use a combination of both tip and small wing to hold in your ear, which means you get a firm position, while the earphone itself seems to be shaped to be a little smaller which is more comfortable overall.
Dare we say it, they’re more comfortable than last year’s best pair of in-ear noise cancelling, the Sony WF-1000XM4, a pair these are so clearly competing for attention with.
Part of that attention comes from how you use them, with an app that lets you customise the controls (yay!), meaning you can say what you’d like the touch panel to do, something that’s handy overall.
The app also comes with another neat trick, with the earphones leveraging that for its take on adaptive noise cancellation. Much like what Sony has worked out in the WF-1000XM4 and the larger headphone variety in the WH-1000XM4, Sennheiser is using the logic of locations for its adaptive active noise cancellation, so when you map out where certain locations are, the app will switch your cancellation options.
For instance, if you designate the rough area for where the shops are, you can set the Sennheiser Smart Control app to open up the ambient transparency mode and still play music, and even tweak the equaliser if you like. Then when you leave, the GPS kicks in, tracks where you are, and shifts location.
In short, adaptive noise cancellation on the Sennheiser Momentum TW 3 is location based, relying on you to map the areas where you want changes. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it means the app is the main part controlling that, and so if you go for a run without your phone, this feature won’t work.
Performance
Fortunately, the sound will work regardless of where you go, provided you have a Bluetooth connection, because these are truly wireless, leveraging AAC and aptX Adaptive.
Of course, none of this matters if the performance isn’t up to scratch, which is why we’re testing the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 with the Pickr Sound Test, what we test every headphone and speaker with.
That starts with electronic, with Tycho’s “Glider” giving us a solid punch of bass and a balanced sound emphasising warmth. You’ll find a lovel sense of lows and mids, with the highs not being outshined at all, and a strong rendition overall. In both Daft Punk and Tycho, there’s clearly a good beginning, and it continues in pop and R&B, with a nice dynamic sense of punch that isn’t overkill, and really delivered.
The balance is strong across test tracks from Ariana Grande and Carly Rae Jensen, while Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” delivers a strong punch that snaps nicely.
In rock and jazz, that warm sound continues, with a sense of balance that plays nicely to folks who prefer a speaker-like sound, which is clearly where the Momentum True Wireless 3 are being pitched.
The previous model managed a strong balance, too, and you can see Sennheiser is just continuing more of that work in version three, which is nice to see.
Battery
There’s also a decent battery here, with the Sennheiser Momentum TW3 outpacing its competitors nearly every which way here. While the earphones themselves offer as much as 7, the extra three charges mean you get 21 more in the case, boasting a total of 28, a number which beats most other premium truly wireless ANC earphones.
By comparison, the total 28 hours is much more than the typical pair it competes with, beating the 24 from the AirPods Pro and the Beats Fit Pro, which also manage the 24 hour time. It’s the same from Sony’s WF-1000XM4, which also hit that 24 hour mark.
Like its predecessor in the Momentum True Wireless 2, the case arrives in a cute little knit style that helps make the earphones feel more premium, even if the case is a bit on the big side. However, you’ll also find a bit of an assist for charging if you have a wireless charging pad, as the Qi charging tech is supported inside the charging case, alongside the ever useful Type C USB port found in the front of the case.
Value
Alongside that decent battery, the price in Australia isn’t bad for what you get in the Momentum True Wireless 3, with the $399.95 cost being about what we’d expect to find, and the sound and feature set being about where it needs to be. That’s $100 less than where Sennheiser pitched the predecessor, and helps deliver more competitive value overall, especially when you look at the rest of the premium ANC earphone market in Australia.
At the $400 mark, Sennheiser is competing quite well with the likes of Sony’s WF-1000XM4, Bose’s QuietComfort Earbuds, and the Apple AirPods Pro, delivering pretty healthy competition all around.
It’s worth noting that all three of these have been available for a little bit at this time, so you can typically find each under these prices, but on RRP alone, the Sennheiser Momentum 3 is in bread company, thanks in part to its great sound, solid comfort, and similar approach to adaptive ANC.
What needs work?
But while the inclusion of adaptive cancellation is a good one, the result is an app that needs improvements.
Take that adaptive cancellation, which only works if you register an account with Sennheiser’s service, and even then doesn’t always deliver timely noise cancellation changes.
In one test, we walked out of the range for what we designated as “shops”, and the change didn’t kick in until a few minutes after we’d moved beyond our own border. In another test, we needed to actually launch the app for the tracking to begin, and so when we donned the Momentum True Wireless 3 earphones at the shops, they were still in cancellation mode until we opened the Smart Control app on our iPhone.
It’s just not an app that appears to be working solidly in the background, and if you want the adaptive tech to work, not only are you going to have to register yourself and those locations, but also open the app daily, it seems.
Final thoughts (TLDR)
Outside of that niggle with the app and ANC, however, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 is a winner.
It really is a case of third time’s the charm, as these will charm the pants off you. They’re comfortable, sound great, priced well, and while there’s still a bit of tightening needed in the software department, they hit every competitive nail on the head.
Sennheiser has a winner in the Momentum True Wireless 3 in every sense of the word, as these are among the best.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Nine kids were trapped inside their Independence home as fire engulfed their bedrooms Saturday. Then one family member risked it all to save them.
Now, the family is hailing that dad as a hero.
Several people were injured in the blaze. On Monday, one of those kids remains in critical condition and another is stable. The family member who saved them, Curtis Jewett, finally woke up Monday and is breathing on his own.
But it’s the moment he brought the kids out of the burning house that has two moms grateful for his sacrifices.
“He ran in there and grabbed Philip, which is my baby, and he was on fire. He handed my Philip, and I’m patting Philip down,” mom Stormy Farmer said.
“He ran into the fire and went and saved the babies that were in the actual fire,” she added.
The fire started after what family said was a tablet that caught fire in one of the kid’s rooms. Large flames quickly overtook the house inside. Fire crews were quickly called to the home.
But Curtis Jewett risked his own life so that those nine kids could live. His mission was successful with all the children making it out alive.
“He’s suffered burns and smoke inhalation from doing it, and even after getting burned, he was still trying to put the house out,” said mom Kristina Jewett, who lost her home in the fire.
“These babies wouldn’t be here if he didn’t do that. None of them,” she added.
The house on the outside is still intact, but everything on the inside is gone. The only things that remain are toys left in the grass, shoes that feel off while the families escaped — and and their lives, which they’re the most grateful to still have.
“In spite of this, we have our families that we have to keep going for, and we can only push forward,” Farmer said.
Now they’re rebuilding, trying to move on and slowly pick up the pieces of what they have left. But these moms know they need some help.
“Finding quick replacement … it’s more or less, especially for when she finally gets out because they’ve got a road to recovery still. And then obviously, just the things that the kids need,” Kristina Jewett said.
Organizations like the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army are helping, but there’s also a GoFundMe set up to help them. | https://fox4kc.com/news/dad-rescues-nine-children-from-large-independence-house-fire/ | 2022-04-25T23:12:46Z | https://fox4kc.com/news/dad-rescues-nine-children-from-large-independence-house-fire/ | false | 4 |

WASHINGTON (Nexstar) — For the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine, top US officials traveled to Kyiv to meet with President Volodmyr Zelenskyy.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin meet with the Ukrainian president for 3 hours and pledged their continued support for the war-torn country.
“This was, in our judgement, an important moment,” Blinken said.
He said the meeting between top American and Ukrainian officials happened at a time when Russia is failiing in its primary goal — “to totally subjugate Ukraine, to take away its sovereignty, to take away its independence. That has failed.”
The problems for Russia aren’t only on the battle field, Blinken said.
“A military that is dramatically under performing. An economy, that as a result of sanctions as a result of a mass exodus from Russia, that is in shambles,” he said.
Officials also announced US diplomats will begin returning to Ukraine starting next week. However reopening the US Embassy in Kyiv will take longer.
Still, Russia’s attack on Ukraine continues. Part of the meeting Blinken and Austin had with Zelenskyy centered around the type of aid Ukraine will need moving forward.
“As this fight evolves, their needs will change. And so, as those needs change, we’d like to be one step ahead,” Austin said.
As part of the pledge for continued support, the US announced $300 million in additional military aid, plus the sale of $165 million worth of ammunition. | https://www.wtrf.com/news/washington-dc/blinken-russia-economy-in-shambles-military-underperforming/ | 2022-04-25T23:16:32Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/washington-dc/blinken-russia-economy-in-shambles-military-underperforming/ | true | 15 |

Definitions
Concession Services Agreements (IFRIC 12 interpretation). In Mexico and Puerto Rico, ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line, "Construction Revenues," reflecting the revenue from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line "Construction Costs" because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. Because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin. In Colombia, "Construction Revenues" include the recognition of the revenue to which the concessionaire is entitled for carrying out the infrastructure works in the development of the concession, while "Construction Costs" represents the actual costs incurred in the execution of such additions or improvements to the concessioned assets.
Majority Net Income reflects ASUR's equity interests in each of its subsidiaries and therefore excludes the 40% interest in Aerostar that is owned by other shareholders. Other than Aerostar, ASUR owns (directly or indirectly) 100% of its subsidiaries.
EBITDA means net income before provision for taxes, deferred taxes, profit sharing, non-ordinary items, participation in the results of associates, comprehensive financing cost, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. Our management believes that EBITDA provides a useful measure that is widely used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and compare it with other companies. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues excluding construction services revenues for Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia and excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets. ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line reflecting the revenue from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line "Construction Costs" because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. In Mexico and Puerto Rico, because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin, as the increase in revenues that relates to Construction Revenues does not result in a corresponding increase in EBITDA. In Colombia, construction revenues do have an impact on EBITDA, as construction revenues include a reasonable margin over the actual cost of construction. Like EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity and is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.

A list.
By Cynthia Kaplan
1. Here’s a piece of advice. While spending the afternoon with your dying father, don’t ask Alexa to play the songs of Judy Collins which, once upon a time, he loved, because the first song out of the gate might be this:
Across the morning sky
All the birds are leaving
Ah, how can they know it’s time for them to go?
Before the winter fire
We’ll still be dreaming
I do not count the time
Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
2. If you’re wondering how to get a very ill man in his late 80s to the Sloan Kettering emergency room without taking an ambulance, because they don’t accept patients who arrive in ambulances, because dying of cancer is not an emergency, per se, I’ll tell you: bundle him up (it’s early November), secure him upright by tying him to the wheelchair with the arms of a sweater—not the one he’s wearing, he’s not insane—and wheel him through the street. Do this because the Sloan Kettering emergency room is the Lamborghini of emergency rooms. It is the place where they have your father on a gurney within two minutes of arrival and evaluated by a team of doctors within 10 minutes. It is the place where a doctor finally tells us to our faces that he is dying.
3. One summer day, my husband and I were playing tennis with our teenage kids when our friends Paul and Rachel came to meet us. While David and I left the court to greet them, my father, who had been watching the game, walked onto the court without his cane and asked the kids if he could take a swing or two. Paul, hugging me hello, looked over my shoulder and asked, “Is it possible that there is an old man lying on the tennis court?”
4. Once, I said to my mother, “If you die before Dad, I will kill you.”
5. My father’s night table was a wonder of bedside efficiency, while at the same time a textbook example of what an electrician would call a fire hazard. The double outlet behind it somehow managed to power no fewer than eight electrical appliances. They were as follows: a lamp, an iPhone, an iPad, an Apple watch, a laptop computer, a Mophie charger, a smaller lamp for reading after lights out, and a rechargeable battery charger. There is a metaphor, somewhere here, in which my father, who has been at or near death’s door several times in the past six years, not to mention that time back in 2003 when he drove himself to the hospital while having a heart attack, is, himself, rechargeable.
When he returned home from Sloan Kettering for what we knew would be the last time, my brother dutifully laid a powerstrip beneath the hospital bed, plugging it in behind the couch and taping it down with gaffer’s tape to the rug, as though we were all on a film set. In addition, a little folding table was placed next to the bed for thermoses, cups of rechargeable batteries labeled “charged” and “to charge”, and a pulse oximeter, which actually belongs to me because I have a congenital lung thing. My father consulted it twice hourly, and it may have been the most suitable and well enjoyed gift I have ever given him.
6. After my father died, I found four quarter-sized items that looked like blobs of white clay sitting in a box in his desk drawer. Each had a small indent on the top and a disc of waxy paper, the kind that protects a sticky surface, on the bottom. I brought them home, pulled the paper off, and stuck one each onto the side of my night table, David’s night table, and our children’s night tables, just below the surface. I picked our phone cords up off the floor and pressed them into the indents. My father was a genius.
7. On one of the final days of my father’s life, while confined to a hospital bed in the center of my parents’ Upper East Side living room, he set his Apple watch to time the life span of two ordinary, single-use AAA batteries so he could compare them to rechargeable AAA batteries. I said, “Dad, that could take hours.” “That’s okay,” he said.
8. Here is how I found myself, one night in the summer of 2019, alone in the emergency room of New York Presbyterian Hospital with each of my parents unconscious on a gurney. Late that afternoon, my mother, then upright, called and asked me to come over. “Your father doesn’t look right, and I’m going to call an ambulance.”
When the EMS people arrived, my father awoke and, despite the fact that he was very ill, asked them how their night was going so far and thanked them very much for coming. He made them each guess his pulse oxygen level, and he made jokes at his own expense throughout the ambulance ride. This was his way. It was both his nature and a contrivance. The gratitude, the charm, they were genuine, but they also got him whatever he wanted. The hospital he preferred, the nurses he liked. When he asked for more ice water or blankets from the blanket warmer, he got them.
After an hour-long wait in a hallway, we were taken into a curtained bay, and my father, now feverish and incoherent, was hooked up to an IV and a heart monitor. He awoke briefly to insist my mother change his ileostomy bag. He prided himself on the care he took with it, and even in his delirium he knew it should be checked. I stepped outside the curtain and texted my brother an update.
When my mother was through she was done in. It was now around 9 p.m. and I suspected she hadn’t eaten since noon. I offered her the Clif Bar I had in my backpack, but she pulled a granola bar from her purse and said, “For emergencies.” “Me, too,” I said. We ate in silence. Then she looked at me and said, “You know, I’m feeling a little off.” Then her eyes rolled back in her head and she slumped down in the chair.
I yelled toward the nurses station. “My mother has fainted!”
Doctors and nurses rushed over, swooped her onto a gurney, and rolled her next to my father.
When my brother arrived, I held up my phone to take a picture of him sitting on a chair between our supine parents, casually reading the paper. Just as I pointed my phone, my father bolted upright, eyes wide, looking straight ahead at nothing, like an extra in a zombie movie. I texted the picture to my best friend.
9. If I write the essay about my father’s death, it will mean he has died.
10. My brother, my mother, my husband, and I sat outside a curtained area at Sloan Kettering’s emergency room and, while my father was being examined, we discussed our most pressing issue: how to bring an unconscious man to consciousness long enough to find out his iPhone password.
When the doctors left, we hovered over our father, waiting for any sign of consciousness. I was tempted to press my fingertips into his sternum, rubbing back and forth, something I’d seen TV doctors do to rouse patients. I could imagine my father himself suggesting this, as he was an avid observer of his own care. He demanded bloodwork and any other diagnostic information be emailed to him from each of his doctors, so he, a man with no medical training whatsoever, could interpret it.
Dad. Dad. Jack. Pop, wake up. Dad. We stood on either side of him and took turns throwing pennies down the well, hoping to hear one go kerplunk. His eyelids fluttered.
Steve held up the phone. “Dad, what’s the password?” Dad moved his mouth a bit but no sound came out. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. “Dad, can you tell us the password for your phone?”
He held up his right hand, typing the air. Steve put the phone in his left hand and helped him hold it. He punched the code. 189585. “189585, is it 189585, Dad?” I asked. “What is that?” “Grandpa’s birthday.” His father’s birthday, year first, then month, then day. Even if we’d guessed the date, we would never have guessed the sequence. Genius.
11. When someone in your home is in hospice care and you think the patient is in need of medical assistance, you call the hospice hotline. You do not touch the box of drugs in the fridge, the one they gave you at the start of hospice care, because you were told not to touch it without a nurse’s express instructions. I imagine my mother in navy slacks and an old beige cashmere turtleneck, standing in a blast of cold air, eyeing the box with consternation. Why don’t they tell her the thing they don’t tell her until it is too late, that when the end is near she should just throw everything in the box at her husband to make his suffering stop. Because, what is she going to do? Kill him?
12. It is late November, and Marc Maron’s cat, LaFonda, is unwell. I know this because I have been listening to his twice-weekly podcast as I walk through Central Park to my parents’ apartment. LaFonda is old and, like my father, she is not taking her infirmity well. She is weak and listless and has all but stopped eating. The vet says you never know, she could have a year. He doesn’t suggest heroic measures, so Marc gives her fluids and meds and tries to soothe her. He is told that LaFonda will let him know when it is time.
A week after my father dies, LaFonda tells Marc. She has some crazy energy, flying around, howling and agitated, trying first, as Marc reports in his typically trenchant way, to climb onto the toilet before finally shitting in the shower. He and his girlfriend take her to the vet, comforting her and each other. They know they will leave without her. Marc tells LaFonda it’s OK, and she dies in his arms.
If you were to ask me to describe the end of my father’s life, I would tell you to listen to Marc Maron’s account of his last days with La Fonda. They were just the same, except for the shitting in the shower.
13. At 6:30 a.m., my mother woke me with a phone call. I got dressed in the dark and took a taxi across town.
13a. On the last morning of my father’s life, he was awake and wrestling with the air. His covers were thrown aside. He was clutching at the bars of the hospital bed, pulling himself up, trying with all his might to stay alive. He asked for help from his father, who hovered near the bookshelves.
My mother had called the hospice hotline about an hour earlier, and they’d instructed her to give him a dose of Ativan. He continued to rage, so we called again and were told the nurse would come. When she finally did, she gave him more Ativan and an antipsychotic and then another dose of Ativan. As she packed up her bag and prepared to leave, she said, “His heart sounds strong, so it could be a few days. Or it could be five minutes. Who knows?”
13b. No one tells you that when a person stops breathing and you think it’s over, 30 seconds later they might take another breath. If I could crystalize in one image my father’s gargantuan life force, his unequivocal desire to not die, his uncanny ability to come back from the edge, from the edge of the edge, from a heart attack, from a stroke, from cancer, from sepsis, to go from wheelchair to walker to cane over and over, it would be this second breath.
13c. The summer before my father died, my parents bought cemetery plots in a lovely cemetery in Connecticut, near where we’d lived when I was growing up. Go ahead and be shocked that a couple of old Jews didn’t have their place of rest lined up until the very last second, but my father could not envision his death, not ever, not even as he died. With his last words he begged my mother to call for an ambulance.
13d. Five minutes after the departure of the hospice nurse, my father took his last breaths. I called out, “Mom, he stopped breathing!” They say that the hearing is the last thing to go, and now I am haunted by the idea that my father heard me announce his death and was frightened.
13e. My father stopped breathing while I stood stroking his head, telling him everything would be alright. He would be alright. I said to my mother, “I think that’s it, Mom,” and she said to me, “Are you sure? What if he’s not dead?” And I said, “Go get a mirror, like in the movies,” and she did, and she came back and put it under his nose and there was nothing, no steam. We started to laugh. Then she said, “What if we killed him with all those drugs?” We laughed some more.
14. Who knows where the time goes?
15. When I was a little girl, we had a small motor boat called The Sparerib. My parents had a leather and wool satchel with matching thermoses, and my mother would pack it with sandwiches, ice water, and a single can of Tab for her, and we would motor out onto the Long Island Sound for the day. We would drop our anchor and jump in and swim around. Then my brother and I would eat our lunch on the prow, letting our suits dry on us in the sun. On the way home, we would take turns standing in the circle of our father’s arms helping him steer the boat.
I can see my parents now, in my mind’s eye. My mother sits on a square canvas boat cushion in the stern in her checked Bermuda shorts and white button-down shirt, her dark hair tied back with a scarf, like Jackie Kennedy. My father, with his sideburns and his Ray-Bans, is wearing khaki shorts and his cream-colored knit shirt with a navy binding at the edges of the neck and sleeves. He stands smiling, gazing out over the windshield, one hand on the wheel, the other on my brother’s shoulder. The late afternoon sun is in our faces as we head into the harbor.

Police in St. Paul say state Rep. John Thompson arrived at a scene Sunday where officers had pulled over his adult daughter for expired tabs and for swerving out of her lane.
Chief Todd Axtell said in a social media post that Thompson “jumped out and immediately began interfering by yelling and questioning the traffic stop and identifying himself” as a state legislator.
Axtell accused Thompson of attempting “to intimidate and bully police officers” doing their job.
Thompson, now an independent who represents a district on St. Paul's east side, didn't immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment.
Thompson accused a St. Paul officer of racially profiling him during a traffic stop where he was cited for driving with a suspended license.
Democrats expelled him in September after domestic abuse accusations and questions about his residency. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/New-criticism-for-Rep-John-Thompson-over-traffic-17126030.php | 2022-04-25T23:29:15Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/New-criticism-for-Rep-John-Thompson-over-traffic-17126030.php | false | 10 |

TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Kansas Historical Society Executive Director, Jennie Chinn, has died.
Since 2004, Chinn has served as the executive director of the Kansas Historical Society. In 2002, Chinn served as the interim executive director. Previously, she served as the Historical Society’s education division director from 1991 to 2004.
“Jennie Chinn was passionate about our state and its rich history,” Kansas Governor Laura Kelly said. “From State Historic Preservation Officer to spearheading new exhibits to writing award-winning Kansas history books, Jennie left a legacy of contributing to Kansas. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
According to the State of Kansas and Gov. Kelly, Chinn launched the agency’s first Kansas folklore program in 1982 to preserve endangered cultural traditions. As a Kansas folklorist, she established an apprenticeship program, which raised awareness of folk arts, celebrated traditions with festivals, and established a relationship with masters and apprentices to carry on traditions.
Chinn authored The Kansas Journey, the seventh-grade textbook for Kansas history, in 2005, according to the State of Kansas and Gov. Kelly. The textbook is now in its third edition. More than 28,000 students across the state use this text to study the state’s history. The Kansas Journey received the Textbook & Academic Writers Association’s 2022 Textbook Excellence Award, recognizing excellence in current textbooks and learning materials.
In addition, she co-chaired the Kansas history curriculum standards in both 1999 and 2004, and taught folklore classes at Washburn University from 1986 to 2004.
Chinn was a Kansan by choice, having lived in the state since 1980.
“I am passionate about Kansas history,” Chinn said. “The state has been at the forefront of many issues important to the development of this nation.”
Her current major project was spearheading new exhibits for the Kansas Museum of History. She has worked in recent years seeking input, planning, researching, writing, and sharing her vision to transform the Museum’s galleries for the 21st century. The resulting $6 million capital campaign, overseen by the Kansas Historical Foundation, the state agency’s sister organization, is nearly complete. | https://www.ksn.com/news/state-regional/kansas-historical-society-executive-director-jennie-chinn-dies/ | 2022-04-25T23:33:43Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/state-regional/kansas-historical-society-executive-director-jennie-chinn-dies/ | false | 2 |

Beanie Feldstein’s opening night as Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl” on Broadway received a glowing review from big brother Jonah Hill.
“I watched my sister @beaniefeldstein absolutely radiate off the stage tonight in @funnygirlbwy,” the actor wrote via Instagram on Sunday, sharing a throwback photo of Beanie dressed in an animal print coat, matching hat and pearls.
“I remember the day she was dressed like this and heard this little miniature human sing these songs her whole life. I’m obviously proud as her older brother, but what I saw her do tonight surpassed siblinghood or pride.”
Hill, 38, continued to gush over Feldstein, 28, writing, “Her talent caused me to cheer from the depths of my heart.”
He added, “I’m floored. I love you @beaniefeldstein and I’m in awe of you and the talent you possess ❤️.”
“Funny Girl” is making its return to Broadway for the first time since 1964, when Barbara Streisand starred in the leading role.
Feldstein recently revealed on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert“ that Streisand, 80, sent her a letter.
“I’ve never met her before, and it was a really beautiful, touching thing that I will keep at my side of my table getting ready forever,” she explained.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Jonah has praised his little sister’s success. He previously shared a selfie of the two in New York, next to one of her Gucci ads.
“Iconic sister alert,” he captioned it.
Last month, Feldstein spoke about her close bond with Hill in an interview with The Cut.
“We are very close,” she said. “We have a very, very deep connection, and he’s like one of the most important people in my whole life, and being his sister is, like, my greatest joy.” | https://pagesix.com/2022/04/25/jonah-hill-praises-beanie-feldsteins-funny-girl-performance/ | 2022-04-25T23:49:56Z | https://pagesix.com/2022/04/25/jonah-hill-praises-beanie-feldsteins-funny-girl-performance/ | false | 1 |

U.S. judge to block plan to lift COVID border restrictions for migrants
Article content
WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Louisiana said on Monday that he intends to rule that U.S. authorities cannot immediately proceed with plans to lift pandemic restrictions that empowered U.S. agents at the Mexico border to turn back migrants without giving them a chance to seek asylum.
U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays stated his intention after a hearing in a case brought by 21 states against the administration of President Joe Biden. The judge said both sides would confer regarding the specific terms of a temporary restraining order and would attempt to reach agreement.

Article content
The ruling would upend a decision by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to terminate the so-called Title 42 border order by May 23. Title 42 allows U.S. authorities to rapidly expel migrants, including asylum seekers, to Mexico and other countries to avoid overcrowding in border stations that could exacerbate the spread of COVID-19.
Biden, a Democrat, has struggled to implement what he describes as a more humane and orderly system at the U.S.-Mexico border amid record numbers of migrants arrested while crossing illegally, unfavorable court rulings, and political opposition from Republicans and some in his own party.
The judge’s statement is a victory for Republicans who said ending the order would have increased illegal immigration and what they characterized as meritless asylum claims.

Article content
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry praised the decision on Twitter, writing that the judge had granted the states’ request to “halt this enormous threat to our national security.” The Department of Justice declined to comment.
The CDC said in early April that Title 42 was no longer needed to fight COVID-19 due to the increased availability of vaccines, therapeutics and other tools to counter the disease.
In the Louisiana lawsuit, a coalition of 21 states led by Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri, all with Republican attorneys general, are seeking to stop the termination of the order put in place under former Republican President Donald Trump in early 2020 at the onset of the pandemic. Judge Summerhays is a Trump appointee.

Article content
Separately, Texas – another Republican-led state – filed a different lawsuit on April 22 that also seeks to halt the Title 42 termination.
The number of migrant arrests at the border this year is on pace to be even higher than last year’s record-setting 1.7 million. Roughly half of the migrants encountered in March were expelled under the Title 42 order, according to U.S. government figures.
Migrants quickly expelled to Mexico under Title 42 have been more likely to attempt to cross multiple times, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statistics, driving up the arrest totals. The recidivism rate for single adult crossers under Title 42 has been “extraordinarily high,” Blas Nunez-Neto, a top DHS border official, said in a filing in the Louisiana case on Friday.
Advocates have raised concerns that migrants seeking asylum face serious dangers after being expelled to Mexico or other countries.
Biden took office in January 2021 pledging to unwind many of Trump’s restrictive immigration policies. His administration would have kept the Title 42 order in place for 16 months by the May 23 termination.

A Kelowna high school football coach is being investigated by BC School Sports after concerns were brought forward by Okanagan Mission Secondary School (OKM).
OKM Principal Derek Lea said that allegations against Coach Johannes Van Leenen first came to light in December 2021.
“We did an investigation and found that we had valid concerns with the allegations,” said Lea. “So, we parted ways with coach Johannes and forwarded that information. We self-reported that information to BC School Sports to allow them to make a determination about what the outcome would be and what the official sanctions from BC School Sports would be.”
Lea said initial reports were related to undue influence, or a situation where someone’s free will is replaced by that of another. Van Leenen allegedly paid students on the team under the guise they would do work for him, but Lea noted there is no evidence of any work being done.
Van Leenen is also accused of allowing over-age, ineligible individuals to play in a game against Salmon Arm.
A letter was sent by the school to parents in early February informing them of Van Leenen’s resignation.
With each new allegation, Lea said they willingly sent the information for investigation.
“At this point, it is sort of unofficial additional sanctions. We’re waiting for the official letter,” Lea commented.
Allegations also arose that Van Leenen allowed an out-of-area student to use his residential address in order to play with the team. Lea confirmed the student was never registered to attend the school.

Although the spring football season is simply for training, OKM athletes will not have the chance to get on the field.
“The problem with the spring season for us is that we have to have a new head coach,” said Lea. “One of the sanctions or one of the expectations of BC School Sports is that we have an oversight plan in place before starting football, which we feel we have ready for them, but part of that oversight plan is to ensure that we have a new teacher sponsor.”
Lea said the last teacher sponsor did a great job, but he was also the athletic director.
“BC School Sport felt having an additional layer of oversight so that the teacher sponsor was separate from the athletic director needed to happen.”
OKM is looking at a number of candidates for a new head coach. Lea said anyone interested in the position should contact the school.
“We have a relatively new football program. We are looking forward to having the program ready to go for fall when the competitive season starts.
“And although one of the sanctions we believe will be that we are ineligible for playoffs, we hope to have a full competitive season prior to the playoffs.”

LITTLETON — After being awarded a federal grant last year, a project at the Littleton Industrial Park that involves building a road to a 42-acre parcel slated for the next phase of industrial park expansion is expected to advance in 2022.
Currently, the nonprofit Littleton Industrial Development Corp. is awaiting approval from the Northern Border Regional Commission for an LIDC-submitted environmental assessment.
The NBRC is expected to render its decision on the assessment in the coming weeks, and once the agency issues a formal notice to proceed, LIDC will be issuing two requests for proposal for the work that, depending on how long the NBRC and RFP processes take, could begin this year.
The entire project is expected to be complete by the end of the 2023 building season.
“We’ll RFP it out for engineering, and from there will we’ll do another RFP for a contractor,” Greg Eastman, president of LIDC’s board of directors, said Monday.
In 2018, Littleton voters authorized the transfer to LIDC of 42 acres of what had been town-owned land behind the Littleton Transfer Station.
The land at 1213 Mt. Eustis Road constitutes what will be the fourth phase of Littleton Industrial Park expansion.
In August 2021, LIDC was awarded a $210,000 NBRC grant toward the total $500,000 project.
LIDC provided the 50-50 match. Its board, wanting to keep it a $500,000 project, voted to kick in another $40,000.
The funding will go toward building 600 feet of an access road, culvert replacement, the installation of 200 linear feet of water and sewer infrastructure, landscaping, and permitting.
The improvements are aimed at allowing new businesses to locate within the industrial park and/or allow existing park businesses to expand and thrive.
As currently planned out, the 42 acres could support seven businesses.
“It’s been engineered to support that, but that can change,” said Eastman. “It all depends on that first company that goes in and how much space they need. We try to be very efficient with what we carve out. That’s how the whole industrial park has been built.”
The grant has a deadline of Sept. 30, 2024.
“We have two building seasons after this and I think we’ll be able to get it done in time,” said Eastman.
The planned expansion is about getting ready for the next wave of park tenants, he said.
“It’s not necessarily going to be in the next year or five years, but it could be,” said Eastman. “We are trying to plan ahead. Right now, with the employment situation, it’s tough to look at future expansion, but our job is to look toward the future and form the basis to create jobs.”
The current grant will pay for the road to go directly to the LIDC parcel because right now there is just a road along the right-of-way LIDC has with the town, said Chad Stearns, LIDC secretary and clerk.
That road began with the first grant.
“This will finish access to that parcel,” said Stearns. “People can then see this is the property and this is what they’re looking at. It’s a lot easier for people to get an idea in their head when they can walk right up to it.”
The first Northern Border grant was initiated by Stearns, said Eastman.
“He had that foresight and asked if we thought if it was a good idea to pursue this,” he said. “We did, and we got that first grant and did what we could do with it and then we went for the second one. We’re doing a much bigger project now and will be able to take someone and drive them there to show them where it would be. I think it’s a big selling point. We thank the Northern Border Regional Commission for recognizing this project and we’re grateful to have been awarded this grant. Luckily, Littleton has a good reputation for applying for these different grants and has a good track record of following through and making successful projects.”
The Littleton Industrial Park, founded in the mid-1970s, is currently home to an upward of two dozen businesses that employ some 1,500 area residents. | https://www.caledonianrecord.com/news/local/lidc-advancing-littleton-industrial-park-expansion-project/article_980f2c25-cbcb-5492-9604-596975f4154f.html | 2022-04-26T00:10:35Z | https://www.caledonianrecord.com/news/local/lidc-advancing-littleton-industrial-park-expansion-project/article_980f2c25-cbcb-5492-9604-596975f4154f.html | true | 1 |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The Tampa Bay Lightning paid a visit to the White House earlier today to commemorate their win in the NHL playoffs.
“We’re here today to congratulate and welcome to the White House, the Stanley Cup champion, Tampa Bay Lightning,” President Joe Biden said.
The Lightning scored a meeting with Biden after claiming the Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons.
“This team joined rare company. One of only eight teams over the last century to win two Stanley Cups in a row,” Biden said.
Team Captain Steven Stamkos says this is a historic moment for him and his teammates.
“We got to spend some quality time with him in the Oval Office as well and hear some stories. It’s just been something that you’re going to remember for a long time,” Stamkos said.
Despite winning the Stanley Cup three times, this is the franchise’s first-ever visit to the White House. The pandemic prevented a visit last year, and the NHL lockout kept them away in 2004.
“We’ve earned a lot of our success the last couple years by just believing in one another and sticking together, so you get rewarded with opportunities like this,” Alternate Captain Ryan McDonagh said.
McDonagh believes the next step is winning the Cup again and punching a ticket back to the White House.
“We’ve clinched a spot in the playoffs and we have an opportunity there to do it again,” McDonagh said.
During their visit Monday, the Lighting also told the president that if they win it all again this year, he’s invited to celebrate with them in Florida. | https://www.wtnh.com/news/washington/washington-dc/tampa-bay-lightning-visit-white-house-for-the-first-time-in-franchise-history/ | 2022-04-26T00:11:06Z | https://www.wtnh.com/news/washington/washington-dc/tampa-bay-lightning-visit-white-house-for-the-first-time-in-franchise-history/ | false | 14 |
Man indicted on first-degree murder charge in South Shore Plaza shooting death
A grand jury indicted Julius Hammond-Desir on a first-degree murder charge and Samantha Schwartz on an accessory charge
DEDHAM — A Norfolk County grand jury indicted a man Monday on a charge of first-degree murder for allegedly shooting another man in the head at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree earlier this year.
No arraignment date has been set for Julius Hammond-Desir, 19, of Maynard. Police allege Hammond-Desir shot Dijoun Beasley, 26, of Dorchester, on Jan. 22, in front of Beasley's girlfriend and her 3-year-old child inside the mall. He is also charged with carrying a loaded firearm without a license and carrying a firearm without a license.
The grand jury also indicted Samantha Schwartz, 27, of Attleboro, on charges of accessory after the fact and carrying a firearm without a license. Hammond-Desir has been held without bail since he was arraigned on Feb. 16, 2022. Schwartz was ordered held on a $20,000 cash bail when she was arraigned in Quincy district court on Jan. 28.
No court date has been set for the arraignments of Hammond-Desir or Schwartz, said David Traub, spokesman for the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office, in a press release.

Beasley was shopping in a store on the main floor of the Braintree mall when police say Hammond-Desir allegedly shot him with a pistol. Assistant District Attorney Anne Yas said at a district court arraignment that Hammond-Desir confronted Beasley and shot him seconds later, then left the mall.
In a police report filed with court, State Police said video surveillance shows Hammond-Desir and Beasley talking briefly near the entrance to Forever 21 just before 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22. The video then shows Hammond-Desir lift his shirt and shoot Beasley in the head, authorities said.
In the police report filed for Schwartz's arrest, State Police Trooper Matthew Dunne said Schwartz told a friend and her mother that Beasley had pulled out a gun. Schwartz told her friend that the encounter started because Beasley thought Hammond-Desir was staring at him.
Yas said during Schwartz's arraignment that she drove Hammond-Desir to an apartment where he hid and she contacted him while he was hiding. Dunne said in his report that Schwartz brought him food from a restaurant while he hid in Randolph.
Hammond-Desir was arrested in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston by Braintree, Boston and State Police, the Norfolk County district attorney's office said after his February arraignment. He was wanted by police for nearly four weeks before his arrest.
The January shooting was the third time in recent memory shots were fired inside the mall. A 15-year-old bystander was hurt in a 2020 shooting, and in 2017 members of rival gangs happened to bump into each other in Macy's shoe department. Gunshots were fired, but no one was hurt.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
Eastern Cape teenager hospitalised after rape, stabbing and mutilation
A 15-year-old from a village near Mount Ayliff in the Eastern Cape has been hospitalised after being brutally attacked. She was raped multiple times, blinded and left for dead.
‘Hand him over to the community.” That’s the message from the family of a Mount Ayliff teenager who was left blind and severely traumatised after being repeatedly raped. Her attacker also gouged out one eye and left the other damaged beyond repair. He also stabbed her in the upper body.
The 23-year-old man, who cannot be named until he has pleaded to the charges against him, appeared in the Mount Ayliff Magistrates’ Court on Monday on charges of rape and assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm. The case has been postponed to 5 May.
On Saturday, the family of the young victim said the court should release her attacker on bail to “face the consequences” of what he had done.
The badly injured 15-year-old girl was found on the roadside next to a forest in Upper Cabazana, Mount Ayliff, on 15 April. She was taken to Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in Mthatha where she is receiving treatment.
Her family said she told them that while raping her repeatedly, her attacker had said she was still a virgin and that he was going to kill her because if she was left alive, her grandmother, who is a traditional healer in the area, would bewitch him.

The family said they found one of her eyes had been gouged out and the other severely damaged. Doctors removed both eyes, as the damaged one was full of wood splinters and couldn’t be saved.
“He must not be arrested… he deserves to be hurt like he hurt my granddaughter. My granddaughter is now isolated from other children… she will never attend school again, she will never play with other children,” said the victim’s grandmother.
The girl’s father said the family was devastated.
“My only wish is to see the suspect with my own eyes. I was shocked when I saw my child in the hospital. She is no longer the one that I know… but I am happy that she told us everything that happened to her that day.
“It’s unbelievable that my daughter is in that situation.”
When the attack took place, the girl’s father was working in Rustenburg. He returned home immediately after receiving a call from his sister.
The girl’s aunt had received a call from paramedics working in Mount Ayliff who told her that her niece had been found near the forest, raped and stabbed.
“When we arrived here we visited her in Mthatha hospital — her head was wrapped in bandages. Her neck was red, but she was able to talk,” he said.
“She told us that she was on her way home after meeting her friend near Upper Cabazana forest. They walked in different directions. The suspect was already in the forest. After her friend left, he approached my daughter and raped her.”
Police confirmed that the victim had been found on the roadside near the forest at about 3pm on Friday, 15 April. Police spokesperson Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana said the girl had been on her way home when she was dragged into a nearby forest, raped and stabbed.
Meanwhile, a pastor from Mount Ayliff was arrested at the weekend for the rape of a 16-year-old girl from a nearby village. Social workers in the province report a disturbing increase in sexual assaults on minors.
Earlier this month, Eastern Cape MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison, Weziwe Tikana, released statistics in the Eastern Cape legislature showing a worrying number of attempted kidnappings and kidnappings of mainly children. MC/DM

I’ve never liked to say goodbye. As a child, I would hide in a closet, clothes hamper, or just about anywhere to avoid saying those words.
I grew up as a “pk,” a pastor’s child, and when the time came to bid a certain ministry adieu, the reluctance to say goodbye grew stronger.
Yet, as an adult (on most days), one cannot hide among clothes in the refuge of a dim closet. I look out at the vast expanse of the sea and notice something curious: The tide.
The tide teaches us that goodbye isn’t forever. Tiny waves lap against the sand, only to reappear with the next current. As the poet Edmund Spenser wrote, “For whatsoever from one place doth fall, Is with the tide unto an other brought: For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.”
The current of life is taking me to New England. Connecticut, to be precise. In May, I will marry my best friend, Richard, the love of my life, who came quite unexpectedly into my life last summer. We fell in love by the sea, and now I will exchange the shore with the bustle of an urban scene.
I’ve called Cape May County my home for 10 years. Within the microcosm of the Wildwoods, I found myself after a turbulent early 20s. Well, truthfully, God found me and showed me who I am. He didn’t answer every question but gave me enough light to take the next step.
The Herald was brave enough – bless their hearts – to take on a “newbie,” in 2014, who longed to write but needed a lot of polishing! I stand indebted to Al Campbell, Preston Gibson, Art Hall, and Erin Ledwon. They never gave up on me, as I learned the fine art of journalism, digging for answers, and the shady side of local politics.
Oh, I’ve met incredible people along this journey. I witnessed communities in turmoil and transition, in neighborly love and quarrels. I’ve interviewed the best and brightest, the reluctant and disgruntled. I’ve seen great kindness and great avarice.
When Faith Matters began, in 2020, rumors of a 19th coronavirus rumbled across the world. How could a fledgling column possibly survive the impact of a global pandemic, as notable publications struggled to keep the lights on?
Faith Matters grew little by little – the word spread as the stories circulated. A “new kid” appeared on the block and, miraculously, interest grew! Our stories matter. Faith is alive and well in Cape May County.
We’ve come through dark days. We are changed, but the essentials remain like the rolling tide.
You all have inspired and challenged me to be a better Christian, person, and writer. Rest assured that I will carry your stories with me into this new chapter! A part of my inward self will remain here among the dunes, pines, and water’s edge.
Thank you for reading and for being a part of Faith Matters! Thank you for helping me find the courage to say goodbye. Salt may sting our eyes, but we can set our faces toward the sun and know that God is true, his word steadfast.

Left-hander Jacob Hasty had only pitched 1⅔ innings this year when he came in to relieve Blake Money on Friday against Missouri.
And his first throw of the outing was to catch a runner attempting to steal home in the top of the third inning to retire the side. Fist-bumping his chest, he entered the dugout when the Tigers had a 2-1 lead over LSU.
He wasn’t done yet.
Hasty went on to strike out four in a row, and retired the next two on a pair of groundouts to move LSU through two innings while it tied the score on a home run by Brayden Jobert. Grant Taylor relieved him one out into the sixth after he walked one and advanced him on a wild pitch.
“He got the momentum of the game back in our dugout,” LSU coach Jay Johnson said of Hasty on Friday. “He completely transformed himself and I’m proud of him for that. When you have good teams that become great teams, things like that happen and so he's an integral part of this pitching staff.”
WHO: LSU (27-12, 10-8 SEC) at UNO (21-16, 8-7 Southland)
LSU has been short on left-handed pitching, something that Johnson noted from the very beginning. That’s why he brought in Arizona’s Riley Cooper and Southeastern Louisiana’s Trey Shaffer. With Javen Coleman being out for the season, Johnson has been waiting for a lefty to rise through the ranks to join Cooper.
For Hasty, it might have been a slower development than planned.
“I've struggled in my two years here and haven't really shown everything I got,” Hasty said Friday after the game. “I’ve just been trusting God's process honestly, and just being mentally positive, not getting down on a bad bullpen session or a bad throwing session.”
There are three others who are awaiting the same opportunity and Johnson alluded to them Monday. Sophomore right-hander Michael Fowler came in to pitch against Grambling on April 5, and traveled with the team to Arkansas after his four-strikeout outing through 1⅓ innings.
Shaffer, who missed fall ball and has steadily developed since the beginning of spring, also pitched a couple of live at-bats in practice Sunday. So far, Shaffer has pitched four innings this season with his last appearance being against Texas A&M on March 18, walking the one batter he faced.
LSU has been missing a few of its key pieces to the roster for weeks now.
Will Hellmers was also in that group and last pitched on March 23 against Louisiana Tech, working one inning and earning four runs on five hits.
Since the bullpen has been strong, Johnson said it’s hard for athletes to see time on the mound. But midweek games like the one at UNO on Tuesday are opportunities for the pitchers-in-waiting to show their stuff.
“When you have five guys with an ERA under 3.50 that you're bringing out of the bullpen, it can sometimes be hard to crack,” Johnson said.
But Hasty cracked it, whose first start at Grambling earned him a spot on the traveling roster to Arkansas, where he relieved Money and forced a groundout to retire the side of the seventh inning on April 15. He struck out the next batter and forced a groundout in the eighth inning, allowing one hit.
“That guy works extremely hard every day whether he gets the ball or not,” Money said after the Arkansas game. “He’s going to continue to push the envelope. Every opportunity he gets, he’s gone out there and capitalized.”
LSU baseball moved up slightly in some rankings, while remaining the same in others. | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_21163ba2-c4dd-11ec-b785-dbd418d65b7c.html | 2022-04-26T00:27:16Z | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_21163ba2-c4dd-11ec-b785-dbd418d65b7c.html | false | 1 |

Elon Musk reached an agreement to buy Twitter for roughly $44 billion on Monday, promising a more lenient touch to policing content on the platform where he promotes his interests, attacks critics and opines on social and economic issues to more than 83 million followers.
The outspoken Tesla CEO, who is also the world's wealthiest person, has said he wanted to own and privatize Twitter because he thinks it's not living up to its potential as a platform for free speech.
Musk said in a joint statement with Twitter that he wants to make the service "better than ever" with new features, such as getting rid of automated "spam bots" and making its algorithms open to the public to increase trust.
"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," Musk said, adding hearts, stars and rocket emojis in a tweet that highlighted the statement.
A more hands-off approach to content moderation has many people concerned the platform will become more of a haven for disinformation and hate speech, something it has worked hard on in recent years to mitigate.
The deal was cemented roughly two weeks after the billionaire first revealed a 9 percent stake in the platform. Musk said last week that he had lined up $46.5 billion in financing to buy Twitter, putting pressure on the company's board to negotiate a deal.
Twitter said the transaction was unanimously approved by its board of directors and is expected to close in 2022.
Shares of Twitter Inc. rose 6% Monday to $52 per share. On April 14, Musk announced an offer to buy the social media platform for $54.20 per share. While the stock is up sharply since Musk made his offer, it is well below the high of $77 per share it reached in February 2021.
Musk has described himself as a "free-speech absolutist" but is also known for blocking or disparaging other Twitter users who question or disagree with him.
In recent weeks, he has voiced a number of proposed changes for the company, from relaxing its content restrictions — such as the rules that suspended former President Donald Trump's account — to ridding the platform of fake and automated accounts, and shifting away from its advertising-based revenue model. Musk believes he can increase revenue through subscriptions that give paying customers a better experience, perhaps even an ad-free version of Twitter.
Asked during a recent TED talk if there are any limits to his notion of "free speech," Musk said Twitter or any forum is "obviously bound by the laws of the country that it operates in. So obviously there are some limitations on free speech in the US, and, of course, Twitter would have to abide by those rules."
Beyond that, though, he said he'd be "very reluctant" to delete things and in general be cautious about permanent bans.
It won't be perfect, Musk added, "but I think we want it to really have the perception and reality that speech is as free as reasonably possible."
After the deal was announced, the NAACP released a statement that urged Musk not to allow former President Trump, the 45th president, back onto the platform.
"Disinformation, misinformation and hate speech have NO PLACE on Twitter," the civil rights organization said in a statement. "Do not allow 45 to return to the platform. Do not allow Twitter to become a petri dish for hate speech, or falsehoods that subvert our democracy."
Efforts to "deregulate" Twitter could thwart the company's current commitment to making the platform as safe as possible for all users, said Brooke Erin Duffy, professor of communication at Cornell University and an expert on social media. "
"Marginalized communities of users are especially vulnerable to the forms of hate and harassment that so often circulate in unregulated online spaces," she said.
Some users said Monday that they were planning to quit the platform if Musk took it over. To which he responded on Twitter: "I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means."
Musk has battled with the Securities and Exchange Commission on multiple occasions, as he has used Twitter to taunt the regulators.
The SEC has been investigating Musk's August 2018 tweets in which he asserted that he'd secured funding to take Tesla private for $420 a share, though he had not. Musk is fighting an SEC subpoena in the case in federal court. More recently, Musk appeared to have violated SEC rules by failing to disclose at the point he reached a 5% stake in Twitter, waiting until he had more than 9%.
Noteworthy as they are, the SEC matters have no bearing on Musk's fitness to buy a company, according to St. John's University business professor Anthony Sabino, making it unlikely that they would represent roadblocks to the takeover.
With initial concerns of its own about the deal, Twitter had enacted an anti-takeover measure known as a poison pill that could make a takeover attempt prohibitively expensive. But the board decided to negotiate after Musk updated his proposal last week to show he had secured financing, according to The Wall Street Journal.
While Twitter's user base of more than 200 million remains much smaller than those of rivals such as Facebook and TikTok, the service is popular with celebrities, world leaders, journalists and intellectuals. Musk himself is a prolific tweeter with a following that rivals several pop stars in the ranks of the most popular accounts.
Last week, he said in documents filed with U.S. securities regulators that the money would come from Morgan Stanley and other banks, some of it secured by his huge stake in Tesla.
Musk is the world's wealthiest person, according to Forbes, with a nearly $279 billion fortune. But much of his money is tied up in Tesla stock — he owns about 17% of the electric car company, according to FactSet, which is valued at more than $1 trillion — and SpaceX, his privately held space company. It's unclear how much cash Musk has.
Musk began making his fortune in 1999 when he sold Zip2, an online mapping and business directory, to Compaq for $307 million. He used his share to create what would become PayPal, an internet service that bypassed banks and allowed consumers to pay businesses directly. It was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002.
That same year, Musk founded Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, after finding that cost constraints were limiting NASA's interplanetary travel. The company eventually developed cost-effective reusable rockets.
In 2004, Musk was courted to invest in Tesla, then a startup trying to build an electric car. Eventually he became CEO and led the company to astronomical success as the world's most valuable automaker and largest seller of electric vehicles.
Musk's pledge to make Twitter a haven for free speech could dim the appeal of Donald Trump's troubled Truth Social app, which the former president has touted as a competitor to Twitter that would cater to conservatives. Truth Social is part of Trump's new media company, which has agreed to be taken public by Digital World Acquisition Corp. Shares of DWAC dropped 16.2% Monday and are down 46% since Musk revealed his stake in Twitter.

Nearly three-quarters (73%) of home buyers this year so far have been chain-free, according to analysis.
This is up from just over two-thirds (69%) of buyers who were not part of a housing chain last year.
Selling to a chain-free buyer is often a preferred option for sellers looking to speed up a sale and reduce the chances of it falling through as the sale does not hinge on other house sales successfully going through.
Estate agent Hamptons, which used its own data for the research, said it currently takes the average chain-free buyer 91 days to exchange after having an offer accepted – 20 days quicker than a buyer who had a property to sell.
Aneisha Beveridge, head of research at Hamptons, said: “The current pace of the market has put buyers with a home to sell at the back of the queue.
“In a fast-paced market such as today, over three-quarters of sellers had multiple offers on the table to choose from.
“And given chain-free buyers tend to complete quicker and sales are less likely to fall through, they are fast becoming the preferred option for sellers.
“However, chains serve an important role in the market, helping people move up and down the housing ladder.
“And it’s second and third steppers (moving up the steps of the property ladder) alongside downsizers who rely on the capital raised from the sale of their home for their next purchase who are finding it particularly tough.
“This is also exacerbating the lack of stock given their homes are increasingly being bought by first-time buyers and investors who do not have a property to sell.
“Roughly speaking, for every 10 homes sold so far in 2022, only three of those buyers will bring a home on to the market to sell, creating a chain.” | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/business/uk-and-abroad/4210877/73-of-home-buyers-have-been-chain-free-so-far-in-2022/ | 2022-04-26T00:28:49Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/business/uk-and-abroad/4210877/73-of-home-buyers-have-been-chain-free-so-far-in-2022/ | false | 3 |
"We are all in this together."
As Emeritus Professor Henrik Moller points out, although 90 per cent of voters live in urban centres, New Zealand's biological industries - particularly farming and forestry - earn about 60 per cent of the country's national income.
Urban dwellers often went "hunting and gathering in supermarkets" and there was increasingly less understanding of the struggles their rural counterparts had.
"The more we understand, meet and support each other, the safer our country will be. Our future depends on it," he said.

Advertise with NZME.Moller, an ecologist, is involved with the Tumai Beach Restoration Trust which is holding a community planting day with the East Otago Catchment Group, on Sunday, May 1, on the coast near Waikouaiti.
It was events like that - and work by the likes of the catchment group - which were "practical ways we can all do our bit", he said.
Such events highlighted the "mythical" nature of the perceived rural and urban divide that was often spoken about.
"Town mice and country mice are joined at the hip and the work of the catchment groups is a practical way that we help each other.
"Planting trees binds more than carbon, it binds our community," he said.
A big part of the open day was the labour but it was also about building relationships and welcoming people to the land. In the future, they would be able to see "the fruits of their sweat".
Along the coast of the South Island, between the Catlins and Kaikoura, most of the coastal forestry had been removed, with the exception of Banks Peninsula.
It came down to landowners and community groups to restore parcels of that stretch of forest and Tumai was a good example of that, he said.

Advertise with NZME.It was great to be surrounded by lots of community energy and he was thrilled to see the East Otago Catchment Group gaining momentum.
Conservation charity Trees That Count is funding the plantings at Tumai.
It accepted donations from individuals, families, small businesses and large corporations to help groups like the trust and had proven to be both efficient and flexible, Moller said.
Members of the public keen to help can register their attendance on the Friends of Tumai Facebook page.
The holes for the 3000 trees have already been dug on the retired farmland and a barbecue lunch will be held. Another 7000 trees will be planted later.
Stephanie Scott, from the East Otago Catchment Group, said she hoped to make it a real community event and bring as many people together as possible.

Advertise with NZME.The group was keen to help out with the planting, seeing it as a positive community project.
The group was established nearly three years ago and now had a strategic plan, goals and a vision.
The group had about 10 committee members and was run along similar lines to the North Otago Sustainable Land Management Group. It did not have formal membership.
It involved a wide range of experience and knowledge, from a broad range of people, and it was also keen for some urban members.
Tumai Beach Restoration Trust chairman Kees Meeuws said he and his whānau were dedicated to what the trust was endeavouring to achieve.
It is not his first time involved in forest restoration projects.

Advertise with NZME.The former All Black, now real estate agent, was involved with the Living Legends "Where the Field Meets the Forest" campaign from 2011 to 2013 at the Orokonui Scenic Reserve near Waitati, on the inner shores of Blueskin Bay.
"The land that was there at Orokonui has improved markedly with the planting in a short space of time, I'm hoping the same can be said about Tumai - it is rough pastoral land that borders the Pleasant River Estuary/ Catchment, a body of water that has been identified by the Otago Regional Council [Te Hakapupu Restoration Project] as in desperate need of improvement," he said.
Historically, Te Hakapupu was of cultural significance to the local rūnaka/iwi.
"Ideally, we'd like to see this land improved to a level where kaimoana, birdlife, wildlife, the quality of the water and the soil itself, is one we can be proud of to sustain life, give life, more life, all life."
Given the latest directive of the Government's "Te Mana o te Taiao implementation plan", there needed to be a "drastic change if we're to have a future with New Zealand's wildlife and biodiversity", Meeuws said.
"This is where our planting of native trees, shrubs and grasses at Tumai will contribute to a step in the right direction in regards to our future.

Evaluation via UL demonstrates OLED superiority in producing clearer images from all viewing angles without backlight
SEOUL, South Korea, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As an industry leader in the premium display market, Samsung Display today announced that its OLED display for laptops has received 'Halo Free' verification from the global safety science leader, UL, for its glare-free and sharp picture quality.
The 'halo' effect that appears on OLED displays is a result of 'light blurring,' which occurs when the outline of a bright subject appears white on an image with sharp contrast. 'Light blurring' is prominent with LCD products since LCD displays can't produce true blacks. Instead, they rely on a backlight to create the picture and often leverage 'local dimming,' a technology that divides the screen into zones and adjusts backlight brightness in certain areas to produce a deeper black color. However, since light is controlled by zone and not individual pixels, 'light leakage' can occur, where backlight appears in areas where both bright and dark colors are expressed. This causes the dimmed areas to display a hazy picture, creating the 'halo' phenomenon, which results in bright subjects that are blurred.
According to Samsung Display's internal evaluations on 'light blurring degree (halation),' its self-luminous OLED showed a halation of 0.00% and no indication of light blurring, yet LCDs with 'local dimming' showed noticeable light blurring when tested.
"Self-luminous OLEDs have independent pixels that light up within the image display area but turn off within other areas, which eliminates blurred lights," says Samsung Display's Head of Product Planning Team for Small and Medium-sized Display Division, Hojung Lee. "Light blurring is often more noticeable as screen size increases, however OLEDs offer the best viewing solution for large-screen IT devices such as laptops and tablets."
When a focus group was studied watching content on OLED display screens, no light blur was observed by Samsung Display, even when measured from both 45 degree and 60 degree viewing angles. However, when testing LCD displays, light blurring increased three to eight times from a wider viewing angle as compared to a straight-on view.

Bills expanding parental rights at schools head to Ducey
By BOB CHRISTIE
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — Legislation greatly expanding the rights of parents to know anything their children tell a teacher or school counselor and allowing them to sue if information is withheld is headed to Republican Gov. Doug Ducey’s desk. The parental rights bill sponsored by Republican Rep. Steve Kaiser was approved by the House on Monday. A second measure requiring schools to list all their library books and allow review for new books also passed. Neither got any Democratic votes. The broad expansion of the state’s parents’ bill of rights allows lawsuits against any school district or official for violations and requires them to prove they did not interfere with the parent’s rights. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-arizona/2022/04/25/bills-expanding-parental-rights-at-schools-head-to-ducey/ | 2022-04-26T00:42:39Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-arizona/2022/04/25/bills-expanding-parental-rights-at-schools-head-to-ducey/ | false | null |

Reservations required for visitors and commercial operators effective May 12
HONOLULU, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The State of Hawai'i's Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) today announced that advanced reservations will be required for out-of-state visitors at iconic Lē'ahi – Diamond Head State Monument, effective May 12, 2022. The implementation of this system delivers on one of the top priorities of the community as articulated in the Oʻahu Destination Management Action Plan.
Diamond Head State Monument is one of Oʻahu's most sought-after and visited attractions with stunning views along its hiking trail. The new reservation system will mitigate environmental impacts sustained by foot traffic, reduce vehicle congestion in the park and surrounding neighborhoods, improve the experience of kamaʻāina and visitors enjoying the monument, and help preserve this landmark for future generations.
When the system is activated on April 28, the system will allow for reservations beginning 14 days in the future. Beginning May 12, individuals without a Hawai'i State Driver's License or ID must have advance reservations to enter the park. Hawai'i residents will continue to enjoy free access to the park without reservations, but entry may depend on parking availability.
Commercial tour and trolley patrons will also be required to have reservations. Registered PUC commercial carriers will have access to a separate reservation portal developed concurrently with the public reservation system.
Visitors parking vehicles in the crater will be required to book in two-hour time slots beginning at 6 a.m. (two consecutive slots can be booked). Walk-in and drop-off visitors will be subject to one-hour entry time slots. Arrival and exit times will be enforced to assure adequate turnover to allow for later arrivals. Park hours and visitor entrance fees are available at https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/parks/oahu/diamond-head-state-monument/.
"This new reservation system will be instrumental in managing visitor capacity within Lēʻahi and protecting its natural environment and cultural sites, improving the experience for everyone and allowing us to be better stewards of this special place," said John De Fries, Hawai'i Tourism Authority (HTA) president and CEO, who grew up in Waikīkī at the foot of Lēʻahi. "We thank the Department of Land and Natural Resources for their partnership, and we support our sister agency in its continued efforts at Lēʻahi and other sites across Hawaiʻi. Together with our industry partners, we are urging visitors to plan ahead when booking their trips and become familiarized with the new process."
Action E of HTA's Oʻahu Destination Management Action Plan (DMAP) calls for the development of reservation systems to monitor and manage users at natural resource and cultural sites. Published in August 2021, the DMAP is a collaborative, community-based tourism management plan to rebuild, redefine and reset the direction of tourism on O'ahu. Developed by the residents of O'ahu, and in partnership with the O'ahu Visitors Bureau (OVB), DLNR and other state and county agencies, the visitor industry and community, the O'ahu DMAP identifies areas of need as well as solutions for enhancing the residents' quality of life and improving the visitor experience.
"We commend DLNR for bringing this reservation system to fruition, to support the efforts to manage the flow of visitors and residents into Diamond Head State Monument, and make the experience more enjoyable for all," said Noelani Schilling-Wheeler, executive director of the O'ahu Visitors Bureau. "As reservation systems have proven to be an effective tool for monitoring and managing capacity, this is an exciting and vital development for our community and industry. It directly contributes to our collective DMAP goal of ushering forth sustainable tourism management for our people and place."
This is the third state park to require reservations. On Kaua'i at Hā'ena State Park and on Maui at Waiʻānapanapa State Park, reservation systems have improved the quality of experience and reduced impacts on surrounding communities and resources. Reservations are also required at the City's Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve on O'ahu.
For travelers unable to obtain reservations for their desired day, visit GoHawaii.com/Oahu to learn about other experiences and activities.

CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. — Angry residents of a Prince George’s County senior living community are bracing for a 13th day without elevator service in a building where many say they are too disabled or sick to safely use as many as four flights of stairs.
Late Monday, a representative of Potomac Management, which operates the publicly subsidized St. Paul's Senior Living Apartments at 1207 Addison Road, reported the elevator itself is repaired after a 12-day outage, but remains out of service because a required state Department of Labor and Licensing inspection has not yet been completed.
Maryland Sen. Joanne Benson and Del. Faye Martin Howell were on site Monday along with inspectors from the Prince George's County Department of Permitting, Inspection and Enforcement to hear complaints from residents and to attempt to pressure state authorities to send an inspector immediately. As of Monday evening, no state inspection had been done and none was expected until Tuesday, according to Benson.
The elevator crisis is affecting the Phase II section of the complex, which is a four-story building. Residents complained that 13 days is far too long to wait for elevator repairs in a building filled with elders, some with disabilities.
Fourth-floor neighbors Almetrice Paige and Delores Walls described the isolation on their hall.
"(It’s) lot of people -- we can’t get down, you can’t bring in groceries!" Paige said.
"This is awful," Hall echoed.
Residents reported firefighters have been called to help get residents back and forth for appointments and church. Prince George's Fire/EMS authorities could not immediately confirm the claims.
The elevator in the building broke down on April 10 according to a representative for Potomac Management. Managers assigned maintenance workers to help deliver groceries and medication to stranded residents.
Benson and Howell called for a community meeting and accountability for the elevator crisis and additional issues they said were reported by residents.
According to the Prince George's County Department of Permitting, Inspection and Enforcement, a DPIE inspector conducted a routine quarterly check of the facility on April 9 and spoke to tenants about complaints.
The inspector wrote violation notices related to missing light covers, wires hanging from the ceiling, improper lighting of exit signs, missing information on posted 911 call procedures, open storage on the exterior (debris, furniture and bulk trash around the dumpsters) and overgrown grass and weeds along the fence line, according to a DPIE statement.
At the time the inspector found all elevators in working order, the DPIE statement said.
DPIE also reported that on April 13, DPIE received a 311 complaint that an elevator in the Phase II area was not operating. The same day, the inspector wrote a violation notice for the non-operating elevator and required that it be repaired immediately.
State inspectors followed with orders to shut down the elevator until repairs could be made, DPIE said.
According to DPIE's statement, apartment managers did not reveal that other elevators in the complex did not serve the Phase II building, leaving the inspector unaware that residents had no alternative elevator service.
DPIE records show 29 violation notices were issued to the management company for the complex from 2018 to April 13. | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/maryland/stranded-senior-citizens-st-pauls-senior-living-apartments-no-elevator/65-3e408b11-0050-47b1-a004-bb9c806b44db | 2022-04-26T01:07:48Z | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/maryland/stranded-senior-citizens-st-pauls-senior-living-apartments-no-elevator/65-3e408b11-0050-47b1-a004-bb9c806b44db | false | 1 |
You can take the teacher out of the school, but you can’t take the school out of the teacher.
A former Langley school principal, Gary Walker, has organized an educational ride for the Porsche Club Of America – Canada West region.
It will retrace the historic Old Yale Trail gold rush route of the 1880’s through New Westminster, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Rosedale, Cheam First Nation, Popcum, Flood and Hope before finishing at the Yale Historical Society.
“We’re even going to have a quiz at the end,” said Walker, a history and geography major who worked at Noel Booth, Coghlan, Glenwood, Murrayville and Lochiel schools in Langley before leaving to launch No. 1 collision, which specialises in high-end cars.
On Sunday, May 1, the 75-year-old Walker, who lives on the Langley-Cloverdale border, will join 39 other Porsche owners who will follow the former wagon trail as they best they can, including a run down Fraser Highway in Langley, passing by one of his former schools in Murrayville.
They will be driving the route in small groups of five or six cars.
Even their break at the Whatcom Road rest area will have a history angle; it happens to be at the northeast end of the former Sumas Lake which was drained for farmland in the 1930s.
Shortly after the trek was announced, it was sold out, with another 10 drivers on a waiting list.
Walker said his idea was to do something “a little more than just driving – let’s have a purpose here.”
He is already planning another history-themed ride.

Photos: The Neighbors Present Intimacy And Movement Workshop Of THE CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST
The piece is part of a continued effort to destigmatize survivors’ experiences, build understanding around how trauma functions, and initiate crucial conversations.
What Will the Neighbors Say? presented an invitation-only sharing of Co-Artistic Director Ana Cristina Da Silva's play "The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost" on Saturday April 9th at Alchemical Studios in Manhattan.
Following a week-long intimacy and movement workshop, led by writer/director Da Silva and intimacy director Lauren DeLeon and featuring Abram Blau, Beatriz Miranda, Sam Hood Adrain, Melannie Vázquez Lara and Briana Archer, the troupe presented selected scenes, songs and movement.
The piece, which is part of a continued effort to destigmatize survivors' experiences, build greater understanding around how trauma functions, and initiate crucial conversations about consent, was followed by a rigorous feedback session with attendees ahead of a script workshop with Catskill Mountain Shakespeare next week.

This is cheering news to the management and students of the Lagos State University.
The AD Scientific Ranking for 2022 has ranked the 39-year-old institution the Best State University and the fifth Best University in the country. AD Scientific Index is a ranking system of World universities, based on the cumulative AD Scientific Indices of scholars that each university has to parade.
Basking in the euphoria of the university’s new ranking, members of the university community, however, said efforts of the university management, led by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, in positioning LASU as the best university in West Africa, is gradually becoming a reality.
The ranking by the AD Scientific captured the federal, states and private universities in the country. The university’s Director, Research Management and Innovation, Prof. Adejuwon Adeneye, however, described the ranking as good news for the university.
“We are getting better, while we are working assiduously to be the very best with the accelerated efforts by the current university administration to get all academic staff profiles online to showcase to the entire world”, he stated. | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/lasu-ranked-best-state-varsity/ | 2022-04-26T01:29:18Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/lasu-ranked-best-state-varsity/ | true | 1 |
LONDON (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz moved up to No. 9 in the ATP rankings on Monday, a little more than a month before he turns 19, making him the youngest man to break into the top 10 since Rafael Nadal did it exactly 17 years ago.
Alcaraz rose two spots after winning the Barcelona Open on Sunday. He beat Pablo Carreño Busta 6-3, 6-2 in the final.
At 18 years, 11 months and 20 days old, Alcaraz is the ninth-youngest man to reach the top 10 since the computer rankings began in 1973. His fellow Spaniard Nadal was about a month younger when he climbed into the top 10 on April 25, 2005, after a title on Barcelona’s clay.
The youngest man to crack that elite level on the ATP Tour was Aaron Krickstein, who was 11 days past his 17th birthday when he made his debut in the top 10 in August 1984.
Alcaraz is tied with Nadal for the most ATP titles in 2022 with three; his 23 match wins are second behind only Stefanos Tsitsipas, who has 24 victories this season.
Novak Djokovic remained at No. 1 after finishing as the runner-up to Andrey Rublev in the Serbia Open, with Daniil Medvedev still at No. 2, Alexander Zverev at No. 3 and Nadal at No. 4.
Nadal, owner of a men’s-record 21 Grand Slam singles championships, has been in the top 10 every week since he first got there.
The only changes in the WTA top 10 involved Paula Badosa’s rise to a career-high No. 2, behind No. 1 Iga Swiatek. Badosa moved up one spot, switching places with 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova, who dropped to No. 3.

When was the first time you felt beautiful?
Not the kind of beauty you see in a mirror, but the kind you feel when you know that to someone who loves you, you’ll always be a beauty.
Six months after my brother Joe was born, my mother was told he was totally blind and suffered from cerebral palsy, a condition that would impair his walking, but not his will.
I was four years old and had no clue what a gift Joe would be to me.
Growing up, he was a thorn in my flesh, making me tell him stories or sing him to sleep.
And if his tricycle got stuck in a ditch, as it always did, he’d yell for me to get him out.
Worst of all, he made me tell him what things looked like. I’d try my best to describe, say, the colors of a sunrise.
The legs on a rooster. Or the cars on the trains that rattled past our house.
I’d try and try again. But if I didn’t get it exactly as he saw it in his head, he’d say, “That’s not it, Sister. Try again.”
When I was 8, I accidentally broke out my permanent front tooth.
A porcelain crown would cost more than my family could afford. So for years, my front tooth was a shiny silver crown.
Some boys at school meant no harm, but took great delight in chanting, “Here comes the Lone Ranger and her silver bullet!”
At first I liked the attention, such as it was. But it got old. One day, Joe heard me crying.
“What’s wrong, Sister?”
“Nothin’!” I said. “Go away!”
He wouldn’t let it go. When he got something in his head, he was like a dog with a bone. So I told him. And he laughed.
“A silver bullet!” he said, clapping. “What a hoot!”
Then I began to bawl and he hushed, took my face in his hands and ran his fingers over my eyes, my nose, my mouth.
“Sister,” he said. “You’re a beauty. Don’t forget it. And if them boys don’t leave you alone, tell ’em your blind baby brother will teach ’em some manners.”
I wish you could’ve seen the looks on those boys’ faces when I told them what Joe had said.
At 18, Joe decided he had learned enough at the school for the blind, got a job running the courthouse snackbar and rented an apartment to live on his own, 30 miles from our mother.
I was happy for him. Mama was not. Then one day she called me up in a hissy fit.
“He got MARRIED!” she said, “to a STRANGER of all things! We’ve got to do SOMETHING!”
“Calm down, Mama,” I said, “I’ll call him.”
“HURRY!” she said.
Joe answered on the first ring.
“Hey, Sister, I figured you’d be calling. Yes, I got married. My wife is a real beauty. We’ve only known each other three weeks, and I know Mama’s not happy about it. But even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.”
His bride, Tommie Jean, was also blind. They’d walk hand-in-hand with Joe tapping the way with his cane. Rarely more than an arm’s reach apart, they were always laughing and whispering secrets. Their happiness made everyone who saw it happier, even in due time, our mother.
In the eyes of the world, Tommie Jean was no beauty.
She never saw her own face, but she radiated joy in a way that made her shine. She and Joe shared 10 good years before he lost her to cancer. And for him, she will always be a beauty.
When I sit down to do my makeup at a table filled with products that promise to work miracles, I remind myself that miracles can happen.
Then I begin. Foundation. Concealer. Eye shadow. Mascara. Lipstick.
Finally, I look in the mirror hoping to see not the face I woke up with, but the one my brother sees when he pictures me.
Some days I can almost hear him say, “That’s not it, Sister. Try again.”
But here’s what I learned from his beloved: True beauty can’t be seen in a mirror. It can only be felt in our heart and soul and in the touch of one who loves us.
The best beauty secret is love.

“Fire Island” writer and star Joel Kim Booster is reflecting on his Jane Austen–inspired queer romantic comedy’s legacy even ahead of its release amid Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.
“Fire Island” stars Booster, Bowen Yang, Zane Phillips, James Scully, Matt Rogers, Tomas Matos, Torian Miller, and Margaret Cho in the vacation rom-com, out on Hulu June 3. Yet after first being acquired as a TV series by Quibi, “Fire Island” was greenlit by Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures, which will premiere the film on Disney-backed streamer Hulu. That partnership is now being called into question following Disney’s financial support of Florida’s homophobic bill that banned discussions of sexual orientation or gender identity in Florida primary schools.
“It’s something that weighs on me really heavily, the responsibility of making, first off, a good and honest movie and something that felt authentic and real to the gay experience, and then to know that it’s being produced through many pipelines to Disney,” Booster told Entertainment Weekly.
He continued, “We live in a society and we have to make concessions in order to get things done. For me, I’m so grateful that this movie is going to be seen by so many people and, in that way, hopefully will help queer kids who see themselves in these characters to feel good and affirmed. I don’t know really what else to say. It’s not a great answer. I’m sort of waffling here, but it’s tough. It’s not something I’m happy about. I’ll say that.”
While Disney employees criticized the political stance of the conglomerate media company, Disney CEO Bob Chapek apologized for how the backlash was handled. After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed “Don’t Say Gay” into law, an official Disney statement vowed to make all efforts to repeal the measure.
“Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that,” the statement read. “We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.”
Florida lawmakers have since revoked the half-century special district for Walt Disney World amid the “Don’t Say Gay” controversy.

An early run of offense was the decisive factor for Woodbridge (10-2) in a 6-4 victory over Sayreville (2-9) Monday afternoon.
The Barrons scored all six of their runs in the opening three innings—two in the first inning then a four-run spurt in the third. Both Josh Vazquez and Matt Troche posted a pair of hits and an RBI each to lead Woodbridge with Tyler Weber, Drew Lukachyk and Dean Fiore also driving in runs.
Lukachyk and Eddy Nunez combined for the win with Nunez earning the decision off a five-inning performance where he allowed just two earned runs and one hit to go along with seven strikeouts.
Sayreville was led offensively by Hunter Almeida, who drove in half of the Bombers’ runs off a two-RBI double. AJ Zapoticzny shut the door on the mound after Woodbridge got to starting pitcher Jake Romanello early with Zapoticzny throwing 4.2 innings and allowing no runs off 3 hits and a pair of strikeouts.

If you are one of those RV owners waiting for the bottom to fall out of the new RV sales market, you likely are going to have to wait a while longer.
The RV Industry Association just released its recreational vehicle factory shipment numbers for March, and they show that 64,454 RV units rolled out the big doors of manufacturing plants throughout the U.S. That’s an almost 19% increase in units shipped compared to March 2021.
Year to date, RV shipments are up 15.5% compared to the same period last year, with 171,466 shipped so far in 2022.
It appears manufacturers are making progress in delivering more unsold rigs to dealer lots, while at the same time working to reduce billions of dollars’ worth of RV backorders.
Consumer interest in RV ownership doesn’t appear to be waning, despite higher costs for RVs, fuel, and campsites.
“Summer is just around the corner and our RV manufacturers and suppliers have worked to ensure consumers have a variety of RVs to choose from on dealer lots,” said RV Industry Association President and CEO Craig Kirby. “More people than ever before are prioritizing their physical and mental well-being by living the active outdoor lifestyle that is synonymous with RVing.”
Towable RVs again led the pack, up 19.5% from March of last year with 58,902 units shipped. Motorhomes finished March with 5,552 units shipped, up 11.3%.
Park models weren’t as popular as traditional RVs, with 23.1% fewer shipped compared to March 2021, with just 379 units manufactured and shipped. Through March, park model shipments are down 14.8%.
