Vaughn, Pollock homer, White Sox beat Royals 7-1
CHICAGO - Andrew Vaughn and A.J. Pollock each cracked a two-run homer and singled, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 7-1 on Thursday.
Leury Garcia and Elvis Andrus added two hits and an RBI apiece for the White Sox, who won their second straight following a five-game slide to climb back within a game of .500 (65-66).
Chicago improved to 2-1 under bench coach Miguel Cairo, who is filling in as manager while Tony La Russa is on indefinite leave to undergo tests for an unspecified health issue.
The defending AL Central champions, who began the day five games behind first-place Cleveland, held a players-only meeting before the game. Chicago is seeking its third straight playoff appearance.
"It’s no secret, you know, we haven’t played really good baseball this year," said Pollock, who went deep for the second straight game. "We’ve underperformed and I feel like there’s been times where we put a lot into it and it hasn’t worked out and it’s been really deflating.
"But at the same time, we’re got to keep showing up. We’ve got to keep pushing and pushing. We know we’ve got the group. We know we’ve got the players that can make that run. I mean, we can’t wait. This is it."
The White Sox have 31 games left, starting with a three-game home series against second-place Minnesota.
Many of Chicago’s big offensive names have been injured or just fizzled during much of 2022. But the White Sox were a little pluckier at the plate in three games against Kansas City, hitting seven homers and taking 11 walks.
"They’re not chasing bad pitches," Cairo said. "And when they see it’s right, they’re swinging.
"If we hit the ball in the strike zone, be careful with this offense. This offense is dangerous."
Johnny Cueto (7-6) allowed one run on six hits in 5 1/3 innings, walking none and striking out five. The 36-year-old right-hander rebounded from a rough outing last Friday when he allowed seven runs in five innings to Arizona.
Five Chicago relievers combined to throw two-hit ball the rest of the way.
"Today we played hard," Cueto said through a translator. "Right now, we’re playing with excitement and hype. I think the team really has chemistry right now and we just need to go running on that."
Vaughn’s homer was his 15th, matching his total last year as a rookie. Chicago is 4-10 since reaching a season-high five games above .500 on Aug 16.
Kansas City rookie infielder Michael Massey had a double in his first three-hit game. The 24-year-old, who made hit major league debut on July 13, finished 3-for-3 with a walk.
Massey, from Chicago’s southwest suburbs, grew up a White Sox fan and had friends and family in the stands for the series.
Fellow Royals rookie Drew Waters had a single and double for his third multi-hit game in nine since making his debut on Aug. 22. The 23-year-old right fielder also made a leaping catch against the wall on Pollock’s drive to end the second.
Daniel Mengden (0-1) yielded three runs on five hits in 2 2/3 innings in his fifth appearance and first start for the Royals this season. The righty was recalled from Triple-A Omaha before the game.
Kansas City jumped ahead 1-0 in the third. Waters scored from third when M.J. Melendez grounded into a forceout at second.
Chicago came back with three in the bottom half. Andrus drove in a run with a single and Vaughn followed with a deep drive to left on the Mengden’s first pitch to him.
Filling in for the injured Yoán Moncada at third, Garcia made a running catch with his back to the infield on Ryan O’Hearn’s pop down the left field line in the top of the sixth.
The White Sox upped their lead to 5-1 in the sixth on RBI singles from Garcia and Romy Gonzalez. Pollock went deep in the eighth.
ROSTER EXPANSION
Both teams added players as rosters expanded to 28 for September
The Royals selected Mengden and recalled OF Nate Eaton from Triple-A Omaha. The White Sox recalled RHP Matt Foster and OF Adam Haseley from Triple-A-Charlotte.
DAD DUTIES
White Sox CF Luis Robert is travelling to Florida for the birth of his second child and probably will return within a week, Cairo said. Robert has been limited to defensive replacement and pinch-running roles as he recovers from left wrist soreness.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Royals: C Salvador Perez was returned to the starting lineup behind the plate after sitting out Wednesday with lower back tightness.
White Sox: DH Eloy Jiménez left with right leg soreness in the seventh inning.
UP NEXT
Royals: LHP Daniel Lynch (4-9, 4.70 ERA) will face Tigers RHP Drew Hutchison (2-7, 4.01) at Detroit on Friday.
White Sox: RHP Davis Martin (2-4, 4.62) faces visiting Minnesota’s Sonny Gray (7-4, 3.04) in Friday’s series opener. | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/vaughn-pollock-homer-white-sox-beat-royals-7-1 | 2022-09-02T04:49:14Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/sports/vaughn-pollock-homer-white-sox-beat-royals-7-1 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
SPOKANE, Wash. — The Washington State Department of Commerce has issued a statement providing additional background on the "Catalyst Project" for the Quality Inn on Sunset Boulevard.
According to a press release, the department is aware of questions raised by nearby residents regarding the project. The also said Spokane's homeless problem has been obvious for some time.
"A point in time count in 2020 found that 1,559 people were without permanent housing," Commerce Media Relations Manager Penny Thomas said in a release. "That number rose by 13% in 2022 to 1,757."
The department also made reference to the protest back in December of 2021 that saw nearly 100 people experiencing homelessness set up tents near city hall. The homeless individuals protested the City's lack of shelter beds. Once the protestors were removed, they moved their tents to the WSDOT property near I-90 and Freya.
"On May 24, Commerce made Mayor Woodward and Council President Beggs aware of available funding from the Legislature to help relocate Camp Hope residents to safer, supportive housing," Thomas said. "With these resources in mind, we urged them to meet and discuss their plan to help the unsheltered people of Camp Hope. Although our official Request for Proposal was issued in mid-June, and came with a 30 day deadline, our efforts to solicit a plan from the city had been going on for months."
The department says they will continue to work with the City of Spokane, Catholic Charities and Empire Health Foundation to find alternative housing solutions for the hundreds of people living at the homeless encampment off I-90.
However, the Department of Commerce did mention that West Hills residents have a "legitimate point" that their neighborhood should not have a disproportionate share of the facilities serving people who are formerly homeless.
"Commerce would be responsive to additional housing solutions in other parts of the county proposed by local governments in Spokane County," Thomas said.
Lastly, the department mentioned that it is "notable that Spokane County has declined to participate in this process."

Energy crisis: Liz Truss's King Canute-style pledge about energy rationing shows a lack of serious leadership – Scotsman comment
When facing a major crisis, leaders need to strike a balance between instilling confidence and helping people to prepare for the worst.
The problem with Conservative leadership candidate Liz Truss’s confident assertion about the prospect of energy rationing this winter – “I do rule that out, yes” – is that it is beyond her power. It is, instead, a matter of supply and demand.
If there is a particularly cold winter, supplies of energy from Norway and France to the UK could dwindle so there might have to be four days of emergency measures in January to conserve gas. We know this because it is laid out in plans, published by Truss’s own government last month, for a “worst-case scenario”.
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has stressed the government believes there will be enough energy to meet demand this winter, but that it is sensible to have a plan in place in case things go awry. “Responsible governments prepare for extreme scenarios, however unlikely they may be,” explained the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Most Popular
This is, essentially, the correct answer and the one that Truss should have given.
Her actual answer was demolished by Gavin Barwell, chief of staff to Theresa May during her time as Prime Minister. “So if it is a cold winter and there simply isn’t enough energy to go round, which is a real risk, we are just going to have random blackouts rather than the government rationing non-domestic use so that vulnerable people don’t find themselves without heating.”
With a new report by energy consultancy Wood Mackenize warning that an extremely cold winter could force Europe to reduce its use of natural gas next winter, it is clear this is a problem that may be with us for some time. And that means good leadership is all the more important.
Serious times call for serious people. Companies need to know what they are facing, so they can plan ahead and make decisions that affect their businesses and the lives of their staff.
When King Canute ordered the waves not to break upon his land, he did so to show the limits of kingly power. Truss has just given an example of the later retelling of the story, that he was a fool who thought himself all-powerful.

World first all-electric jet engine claimed by Scottish firm Mako Aerospace
The world’s first all-electric jet engine has been claimed by a Fife start-up firm that said it could double the range of electric aircraft.
Rosyth-based Mako Aerospace said its prototype Forerunner engine was the “most efficient and light propulsion system in the world” and could be powered by batteries or hydrogen.
Chief executive Kieran Duncan said it could change current thinking that electric power might be limited to the smallest aircraft over short distances.
However, one academic expert said such technology had not lived up to claims made about it in the past.
Most Popular
The news comes as the latest stage of the aviation industry’s race to develop zero-emission propulsion to replace kerosene, the traditional aircraft fuel.
Scottish airline Loganair has predicted the first of its aircraft would be converted to electric and/or hydrogen power for passenger flights in Orkney by 2024.
Easyjet, Scotland’s largest carrier, has said its passengers could be flying in hydrogen-powered aircraft by 2035.
Mako plans to demonstrate the engine in Edinburgh next month and make it commercially available within two years, with a view to it being manufactured in Scotland.
It aims to reduce fuel costs by 70 per cent compared to a traditional turboprop engine.
The company is headed by two University of Strathclyde graduates – Duncan, and Pia Saelen, with the engine being produced in partnership of the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS), which is operated by the university.
Its website claimed: "Our engine … converts more energy to thrust than any other system on the market.
"It’s the most efficient and light propulsion system in the world by 4x and runs solely on electricity.
"Mako’s Forerunner is essentially the electric answer to the kerosene jet engine.”
Duncan said: “The Forerunner enables larger aircraft up to 40 seats and gives a current range of 600km [370 miles] using today's batteries”, while next-generation batteries could double that.
NMIS senior manufacturing engineer Dr Jill Miscandlon said: “The long-term goal of electric flight is the same for many within aerospace, but Mako is looking at more imminent solutions for short-haul flights that we hope could act as a stepping stone to further developments in the field.”
She said its “vast potential … may even convince some of the bigger players in the industry to invest in the future of electric aircraft”.
Dr Guy Gratton, a test pilot and Associate Professor of aviation and the environment at Cranfield University, questioned Mako’s use of the term “jet engine”.
He told The Scotsman: “Whilst this is not a jet engine as normally understood, but a ducted fan, such as was flown by Airbus on their E-Fan prototype at Farnborough Airshow in 2014, the concept is valuable.
"Electric flight is in its infancy and we all hope that with projects like this, [along with] Cranfield Aerospace Solutions' Project Fresson, ZeroAvia's HyFlyer and TLAC's EnabEl eKub, will help establish Britain in the lead of an important new field.
"We don't yet know what will or won't win the low emissions technology race, nor whether any individual technology will be as efficient as initially claimed.
"In most cases they won't, and historically, ducted fans haven't usually delivered on initial claims for either noise or efficiency.
“So, the more research like this going on, the better the chances of Britain winning out in innovation."

Making snacks 24/7: Shearer's Brewster facility celebrates chip business' 40th anniversary
BREWSTER – 1982 almost seems like yesterday for Ron VanHorn, who's been a plant employee at Shearer's Foods for the last four decades.
VanHorn, a tortilla chip producer, was 18 when he started working at the company's Brewster plant, his first steady job.
More Shearer's news:Shearer's Foods stops making its branded chips to focus on private label business
More Brewster news:License plates from many U.S. states coming to Brewster boy
At the time he began punching a timecard, VanHorn was one of about two dozen employees at the Shearer's Brewster site, the company's first production facility. Today, the plant has more than 300 workers and operates 24 hours a day on a weekly basis.
The original Shearer's plant, 692 Wabash Ave. N, celebrated its 40-year mark Wednesday with a pair of cookouts for its 308 employees.
VanHorn said he's proud to be one of the company's first production line workers.
"It's just my job and been a long time. It's been pretty good," said a humble VanHorn as he spoke about being one of the company's longest tenured employees.
Shearer's Foods was started in 1974 by Jack and Rosemary Shearer. The company is headquartered in Massillon and has plants around the country.
Multiple snack foods are currently produced at the Brewster site, including regular potato chips, tortilla chips, cheese puffs and curls, and kettle chips.
Jason Hall was a Fairless High School teenager when he started working at the Shearer's plant in 1993. He started out as a sanitation technician. Now, he's a supervisor in the field.
"For me, it started as a job to get money to buy a car. It turned into a career," said Hall. "It's nice to see the growth over the years."
Shearer's grows to more than 5,000 workers, 14 facilities in U.S., Canada
Shearer's has grown into a billion dollar company and has 14 sites combined in the U.S. and Canada. The business employs more than 5,000 people, according to Tonya Liedtke, Brewster plant director, who began working at the company 21 years ago as a potato chip packer.
Shearer's is a third party snack food manufacturer, according to Liedtke, meaning that large companies contract with Shearer's to make snacks under their name.
Brand name potato chips are no longer sold by Shearer's, but there are some remaining bags in circulation, or for sale, at unspecified grocery stores in and around Ohio, Liedtke said.
The Brewster plant's onsite outlet store closed about five years ago, and is being remodeled as a training center for new hires and conference area for corporate employees.
"That's something new we're doing to occupy a quality space," Liedtke said.

HONOLULU (KITV4) -- People across the nation are fighting to bring a U.S. Navy officer home from Japan, where he has been imprisoned for more than a year.
People rallied in Aiea on Wednesday and Thursday, hoping to have their voices heard by U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Sullivan took part in a meeting with his counterparts from Japan and South Korea at the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command at Camp Smith.
People outside of Camp Smith gathered with signs. Their message -- "Bring Ridge Home."
Ridge Alkonis is a U.S. Navy Lt. who is currently in prison in Japan.
His wife, Brittany, has been leading the effort to "Bring Ridge Home."
The family was living in Japan, with Alkonis based at Yokosuka.
In May 2021, Alkonis was driving his family down Mt. Fuji after going on a hike, when he went unconscious and the vehicle ended up crashing into and killing an 85-year-old woman and her 54-year-old son.
Alkonis was sentenced to three years in prison for negligent driving, and his appeals were denied.
His family and friends, which include some people who live in Hawaii, joined in the fight to #BringRidgeHome.
Seth Hannemann lives on Oahu's North Shore. Alkonis is his cousin. He was one of the people rallying outside of Camp Smith.
Hannemann said: "And our hope is that our voices will be loud enough so that ultimately the Biden administration will get behind Ridge's story, hear him out, and to correct something that has terribly been wrong.
"Where Ridge Alkonis is now suffering three years in jail, where he will be stripped of his title, he will essentially be stripped from his position in the Navy, his benefits will be lost, he'll lose his job, his retirement."
The family says Alkonis had acute mountain sickness, and did not simply fall asleep at the wheel. They believe he is being unfairly punished.
The demonstration outside of Camp Smith is part of an ongoing effort.
On Friday, supporters plan to protest in Los Angeles, outside of the Japanese Consulate-General.
Meanwhile, Brittany and their three kids continue to camp outside of the White House daily. She hopes to meet with President Joe Biden to plead for his help to "Bring Ridge Home."

The dollar continued its good form yesterday with USD/JPY breaching above 140.00 for the first time since 1998. The pair is holding just above that on the day so far but it needs confirmation from the US jobs report later to seal the deal before the weekend break.
The dollar is mildly softer as we look towards European trading, though ranges are narrow and the changes are relatively light. That could stay the course considering that all the focus is on the non-farm payrolls later in the day. Equities sentiment is also rather tepid despite the late comeback in US stocks yesterday. S&P 500 futures are flat at the moment.
There won't be much in Europe to shake things up, so we could be in for more of a placeholder period in the session ahead.

Two men were wounded in an exchange of gunfire during an undercover police operation Thursday evening in Dale City.
The shooting happened in the 14700 block of Fox Glove Court, a townhouse community off Cloverdale Road, before 7 p.m. Two men were flown by helicopter to an area trauma center in unknown condition.
No officers were injured.
Prince William County police Assistant Chief Jarad Phelps said the shooting happened during a multi-agency undercover operation involving Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Phelps said two Prince William and two Manassas city officers were involved in the exchange of gunfire. He said it's unclear if men involved were the targets of the undercover operation. He declined to say what the original investigation was about.
Police would like to talk to anyone who has information or witnessed the shooting, and they are asking residents in the area to check their surveillance cameras. | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/updated-two-wounded-in-shootout-with-police-during-undercover-operation-in-dale-city/article_c200ac24-2a5d-11ed-a68d-fb8fd1b284dd.html | 2022-09-02T05:22:53Z | insidenova.com | control | https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/updated-two-wounded-in-shootout-with-police-during-undercover-operation-in-dale-city/article_c200ac24-2a5d-11ed-a68d-fb8fd1b284dd.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The US Coast Guard has suspended its search for passengers who were on board an airplane that apparently crashed Sunday off the coast of North Carolina, officials said Tuesday.
Four of the eight people on board were teenagers, according to the Carteret County Sheriff's Office.The group was scheduled to return to Beaufort, North Carolina, following a hunting trip in Hyde County, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
According to the sheriff's office, the passengers were all from North Carolina. They were pilot Ernest Durwood Rawls, 67, and his son, Jeffrey Worthington Rawls, 28, both of Greenville; Stephanie Ann McInnis Fulcher, 42, Jonathan Kole McInnis, 15, and Douglas Hunter Parks, 45, of Sea Level; Noah Lee Styron, 15, of Cedar Island; Michael Daily Shephard, 15, and Jacob Nolan Taylor, 16, from Atlantic.
"The Carteret County Sheriff's Office would like to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families in these extremely difficult times," the statement said.
One body was recovered Monday. The Coast Guard said in a statement Tuesday it will continue to work with local partners through "ongoing recovery operations."
"Our deepest sympathies are with the Down East community," Capt. Matt Baier, sector commander, Sector North Carolina said in the statement. "We are grateful for the outstanding collaboration we have had with our state and local partners, as well as numerous volunteers."
Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck told reporters at a news conference Monday that there was "no indication that anyone survived the crash."
Debris from a plane was found near Drum Inlet, where the plane is believed to have gone down, on Monday morning, US Coast Guard Petty Officer Steve Lehmann told CNN.
An air traffic controller at a Marine Corps Air Station alerted the Coast Guard to the aircraft, which was seen "behaving erratically" Sunday before disappearing from the radar screen, according to the Coast Guard.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, its media relations division tweeted Monday.

San Francisco-based Lyft was hit with more than a dozen new lawsuits all at once Wednesday, most of them by drivers who say they were physically or sexually assaulted by passengers.
In total, there were 17 new lawsuits filed in 11 states. The attorneys claim it's the first time this many cases have been simultaneously filed against Lyft by its drivers.
Most of the lawsuits were filed in San Francisco, demanding Lyft upgrade its security, training and features, such as installing dashcams as a deterrent.
"Even after assaults occur, Lyft ignores, minimizes or downright stonewalls the victims' efforts to report the incident and get help," Peiffer Wolf partner Tracey Cowan said.
One of the plaintiffs is Lyft driver Amy Collins of Napa. She said in March 2020 she was driving a drunk man from Yountville to Napa when he started groping and choking her.
"I was paralyzed with fear," she said. "I couldn’t reach my phone to contact the police because the passenger was pressing his full body weight against me as I was driving on the highway."
Lyft responded to Wednesday's lawsuits, pointing to changes it has made, like the share location function and emergency help from ADT.
"We’re committed to helping keep drivers and riders safe," the company said. "While safety incidents on our platform are incredibly rare, we realize that even one is too many. Our goal is to make every Lyft ride as safe as possible, and we will continue to take action and invest in technology, policies and partnerships to do so."
Collins said it's not enough and that's why she's taking the company to court.
"It’s time for Lyft to take responsibility for the safety of its users so no one else has to go through what I experienced," she said. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/national/lyft-hit-with-dozens-of-lawsuits-over-reported-assaults/article_006d5b5c-2a76-11ed-82b0-53546e895923.html | 2022-09-02T05:27:14Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/national/lyft-hit-with-dozens-of-lawsuits-over-reported-assaults/article_006d5b5c-2a76-11ed-82b0-53546e895923.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Honda on Wednesday revealed that the 2023 Honda Civic Type R will have 315 hp, making it the most powerful Honda-badged vehicle ever sold in the U.S.
Honda also detailed what upgrades led to the power increase, along with what tweaks were made to the transmission and suspension for the next-generation Type R.
More power, more cooling
To start, the Civic Type R’s 2.0-liter turbo-4 has been massaged to produce 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The power increase over the outgoing Type R’s 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque comes via three updates: a redesigned turbocharger, an increased air intake flow rate, and a new, more efficient exhaust system.
The turbocharger features an optimized shape, size, and number of turbine wheel blades, Honda explained. That together with a redesigned path for the air intake allows the turbo to more efficiently generate pressure in a wider range.
The larger grille opening on the 2023 Type R feeds a new, larger radiator and larger diameter fan aimed at improving engine cooling while ensuring sustained performance.
An active valve in the new exhaust system’s center pipe opens at a higher rpm than before, but Honda didn’t note at what rpm that magic door opens.
A lighter flywheel and newly optimized shift pattern for the 6-speed manual transmission round out the upgrades. Honda’s also installed a rev-matching system in the 2023 Type R like the one in the 2022 Civic Si.
Tweaked suspension, upgraded brakes
Based on the 11th-generation Civic, the new Type R is longer and wider than before. The 107.7-inch wheelbase has grown 1.4 inches versus the last Type R, and the track is 1.0 wider in the front and 0.75 inches in the rear.
To accommodate the longer and wider Type R Honda engineers retuned the front strut and rear multi-link suspension to improve straight-line stability. Honda said steering feel has improved.
Hauling the Type R down from speed are two-piece Brembo brake rotors up front, hooked to a retuned brake booster that enhances feel and controllability, according to Honda.
Honda hasn’t said how much the 2023 Civic Type R will cost when it goes on sale this fall, but it will be built at the automaker’s Yorii Plant in Japan.

As the 17.5-foot 5,855-lb Lincoln Navigator cruised up I-94 at 80 mph, both my hands were firmly affixed to the McDonald’s cheeseburger. Moments later, cheeseburger consumed, I asked my buddy Mark to pass me my fries. I was living my best American life in the leather- and wood-lined luxury liner, letting it cruise confidently while I paid less than strict attention.
Welcome to the future of driving.
The refreshed 2022 Lincoln Navigator is the automaker’s first model to receive its Level 2 hands-free driver assist system dubbed Activeglide It’s a rebranded version of Ford Bluecruise.
After spending a week cruising around town and road-tripping with family and friends, it’s clear Activeglide is in its infancy, and that will require updates to keep up with the competition.
What is Lincoln Activeglide?
The Activeglide system delivers on Lincoln’s promise of hands-free driving, but it’s an assist system for someone who is in the driver’s seat and bears the responsibility—French fries or no. The system takes over control of the throttle, brake, and steering inputs at speeds of up to 80 mph. In theory it could, or should, be able to aim the vehicle down the road for hours at a time both in traffic and while in the middle of nowhere. But it does not make the Navigator a self-driving car.
Today, the system works on 130,000 miles of divided highways that have been mapped via radar. It shouldn’t be used in construction zones. It won’t work when there’s cross-traffic or undefined exits. And it’s supposed to request assistance when it deems a curve in the road to be too much for it to handle safely.
It’s watching you vigilantly
Just like GM’s Super Cruise system, Activeglide has a driver attention monitoring device. An infrared camera system is mounted to the steering column and watches the driver’s eyes to ensure full attention is being paid to the road.
During multiple testing sessions it was clear Lincoln (and subsequently Ford) set an extremely short leash with a mere 4-second allowance before the system demands your eyes are back on the road. In the early days of Super Cruise the leash was about the same length, but GM’s eased up through multiple system updates now allowing eyes to wander for well over double that time period.
The hardware
Bluntly: Lincoln’s (and Ford’s) system is much simpler than that of General Motors and lacks a lot of what makes GM’s system so impressive.
Activeglide relies on the forward-facing camera mounted at the top of the windshield, five radar units around the exterior of the vehicle, a GPS receiver (not a high-definition GPS unit, a key detail), the vehicle’s control systems (though none specifically dedicated to Activeglide), the electric power steering system, a 4G modem, and a driver-facing camera.
There is no redundancy built into the hardware. The reason? Activeglide Chief Engineer Chris Billman told Motor Authority it’s not required because the driver is the fallback, and as such is expected to be ready to take over the vehicle at all times.
The system relies on radar map data that is downloaded to the vehicles once a quarter in totality (GM has over 200,000 miles and that’s about to double to 400,000 miles of mapped roads). The entire set of data lives on the vehicle at all times in its entirety and isn’t fed to the system live tile-by-tile like GM’s Super Cruise.
Seamless to use
Lincoln has set up Activeglide to be possibly one of the most seamless and easiest-to-use systems on the market. First, ensure adaptive cruise control and lane centering with hands-free systems are turned on in the Driver Assistance settings on the 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Then, upon merging onto a freeway or entering a mapped zone, an alert will pop-up in the 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster alerting you that the vehicle’s in an Activeglide zone. Hit the cruise control button and the system will take a moment to read the road, understand its surroundings, and then the gauge cluster goes blue with a Navigator image in the center and a constant pulse of dots flowing out from it. A graphic of a steering wheel appears on the left and indicates the vehicle is now in hands-free mode.
Limitations
Activeglide and the Navigator can’t accurately determine which lane the vehicle is located in during certain situations. Without an HD GPS receiver the hardware can’t pinpoint the vehicle down to the specific lane on the road. Relying on the cameras to place the vehicle on the road can only work when the cameras can see the road. Cameras can’t see through metal and cars, so when the Navigator’s in the middle lane and there are vehicles on either side of it, seemingly it doesn’t actually know it’s in the middle lane of the road. This presented a challenge in certain situations as the Navigator attempted to read the lane markings at 70-plus-mph to keep the three-row SUV centered and in its lane consistently.
Like GM’s Super Cruise system, Lincoln Activeglide isn’t meant to work in construction zones. Though, unlike the GM system it doesn’t seem to actually know where active construction zones are. No alerts pop up, and the system didn’t disengage itself immediately. I manually turned it off for safety reasons.
Speeding is allowed with Activeglide, but I was told the system shuts off at over 80 mph. I was able to get the system working at 81 mph, but only twice despite my best efforts. It wouldn’t work at 82 mph. Super Cruise will go to 85 mph and even maintain steering duties, though it hands back control of the throttle and brake, up to 92 mph.
It also won’t work in tunnels. While GM’s Super Cruise system works in tunnels thanks to some fancy use of old-school technology Lincoln’s system says no. It will hand control back to the driver based upon map data and vehicle sensors readings upon entering the tunnel, though it will offer to take back control upon exiting the tunnel.
Currently the system will not execute a lane change automatically, but that functionality is “coming very soon” according to Billman. Super Cruise gained this feature earlier in the year.
Towing won’t work either, a new feature GM’s enabled with its system as it moves from cars into trucks. Lincoln’s system says no. Once a trailer’s hooked up and plugged into the Navigator, Activeglide is disabled and won’t come back online until the trailer’s unhooked from the vehicle. Billman wouldn’t comment on whether hands-free towing will come with a future update to Activeglide.
Real-world differences vs. Super Cruise
When Activeglide works it’s good. But the system falls short of greatness.
A key difference between Activeglide and its crosstown rival Super Cruise is how smooth the GM system is and how far out it’s reading the situation.
Activeglide can’t seem to pick a virtual center line and keep the vehicle on it 100% of the time. There’s slight sway back and forth with the steering wheel making constant corrections even when on a straight road.
The system also doesn’t seem to sense traffic building ahead as quickly as Super Cruise, nor does it apply the brake and throttle as smoothly in stop-and-go traffic. The latter was confirmed multiple times by my wife and daughter who are subject to motion sickness and consistently inform me (loudly) about when active safety systems aren’t acting in a smooth manner.
All of these issues stem from the Navigator trying to process a lot of its surroundings in real time while heavily relying on the camera systems. The throttle and braking issues could be corrected with an updated calibration should Lincoln choose in the future.
Stuck in the attention loop
The attention monitor’s short leash of a consistent 4.0 seconds makes it one of the most vigilant on the market in terms of ensuring the driver is paying attention to the road. The infrared cameras were able to read my eyes through polarized Ray-Ban sunglasses in most situations while cruising endlessly hands-free, until the sun began to set and the system started having issues detecting my eyes through my sunglasses.
At the time it seemed like the angle of the sun mixed with the reflection of the light on my sunglasses caused an issue for the camera system to see my eyes. Billman later told me that it’s human nature to unknowingly start to squint as direct sunlight at certain angles hits the eye regardless of sunglasses. The body partially shuts the eyelids to protect the eyes from the sun, and when this takes place the camera can’t see your eyes. Then the kickdown within the system begins.
The system threw a warning on the gauge cluster that I needed to pay attention. But I was paying attention. It started flashing a red warning in the gauge cluster demanding I pay attention. Then at over 70 mph the system started hitting the brakes intermittently to grab my attention, which it already had. Tugging at the steering wheel did nothing to tell the system I was indeed alert and paying attention. Turning off the system by disengaging cruise control seemingly was the only way to stop this loop.
After waiting a few moments I reengaged the system, but minutes later this entire process started again. I gave up as our exit from the mapped highway was only a few miles away. We had made it most of the way.
Billman told me that had the escalation continued the system would have completely stopped the Navigator on the highway, but in its current state it wouldn’t turn on the hazard lights or call 911.
Second place
Lincoln comes in second place, for now.
Activeglide is only the second truly hands-free driver-assist system on sale in the U.S. that works at highway speeds. It’s good, and fully capable under the right conditions of going for long periods of time without the driver needing to take over the steering wheel. The system’s at its best in the middle of nowhere on the open road.
But there are so many conditions it simply isn’t prepared for yet, like certain curves, tunnels, while towing, and simply the ability to know precisely where the vehicle is in regards to its surroundings on the road.
While Activeglide’s a full step behind GM’s fantastic Super Cruise system in the Escalade, it’s providing a glimpse into the serene future that will enable hands-free driving down the road in a leather-lined luxury liner where fast food can be eaten with both hands, at full speed.

A 20-year-old Newfane man who is facing charges in connection with a fatal hit-and-run accident had his bail revoked on Thursday.
Sean Kelahan, who was charged with manslaughter following a March 18 hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of Lockport resident Richard Howes III, was remanded to Niagara County Jail following a court appearance in front of Judge Caroline Wojtaszek.
Prosecutors contended in court that Kelahan violated the rules of his release when he was arrested for shoplifting in the Town of Cheektowaga. Prosecutors also argued that Kelahan was seen in videos and photos displaying behavior that violated the terms of his release.
Assistant District Attorney Christine Savoia laid out several pieces of evidence condemning Kelahan’s behavior, including videos showing Kelahan in Buffalo – a violation of his agreement to stay in Niagara County – being behind the wheel of a vehicle – though it could not be concluded as to whether or not he was driving it, attempting shoplifting, being present at a fight moments before his curfew (7 p.m.), being at an Olive Garden with another arraigned suspect for an unrelated crime – also violating the terms – and giving alcohol to a cat.
Kelahan’s attorney, George Muscato, argued that beside the arrest, Savoia did not have sufficient evidence that his client had violated any terms. He held up his client’s hand and asked if any video had caught the tattoos adorned there.
Muscato said that the proceedings were not being fairly metered out to Kelahan and that he deserved a hearing where, as his attorney, he could meet the accusations.
“How am I supposed to represent this young man?” Muscato asked the court. “I might as well be in the hall.”
Muscato asked the judge to schedule a hearing on the matter at which time he could cross-examine the evidence, but Wojtaszek denied the motion, choosing instead to send Kelahan to county jail pending his next court appearance, which is scheduled for Sept. 16.
Wojtaszek noted that, under the terms of his release, Kelahan was to remain in Niagara County and should not have traveled to neighboring Erie County where he was arrested for shoplifting.
“Cheektowaga is not in Niagara County last time I checked,” Wojtaszek said.
Outside the courthouse, friends of Howes were in good spirits over the judge’s decision.
“We really just want justice,” Amanda Watkins, a friend of Howes, said. “We have faith in the legal process.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/fatal-hit-and-run-suspect-remanded-to-jail/article_99aac9ba-2a32-11ed-a6ff-7b5b0ff19428.html | 2022-09-02T05:36:07Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/fatal-hit-and-run-suspect-remanded-to-jail/article_99aac9ba-2a32-11ed-a6ff-7b5b0ff19428.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Local bus company officials are working to set the record straight on issues surrounding transportation for the upcoming school year for the Lockport City School District.
Dave Kinley, a representative of Ridge Road Express, recently sent a notice from the company’s public relations department about the current bus driver situation as opening dates for several schools come closer.
“Like all transportation providers across the country, Ridge Road Express is working to address the national bus driver shortage,” read the release. “We are keenly aware of the impact that a smaller workforce may have on students and caregivers.”
In the Aug. 16, 2022 edition of the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal an unidentified employee of Ridge Road Express said there were enough bus drivers right now. According to Kinley, the information provided by the employee was “a pure communication issue” and that it would not happen again. The true sought after employee, Gary Woodcock, also called back the US&J to set the record straight.
“Apparently the guy at the garage just didn’t bother saying he wasn’t me,” Woodcock said in an apology earlier in the month.
While the release said that the company did not “anticipate a disruption in our services” there is a level of concern.
“We are working closely with our district partners to manage student routes, especially as the new school year begins,” it read.
As printed in the earlier edition of the Lockport Journal, there are less “extras” this year.
According to another Ridge Road Express employee, Sue Cheasty, buses could once be shifted to areas of most need without much effort, thereby activating the large pool of drivers and buses to cover all districts’ transportation issues. These days that potential is far and few in between.
While it takes about a six weeks of training to become a bus driver with Ridge Road Express, the statement put out by Kinley said they are “actively recruiting throughout Lockport, offering fully paid training, flexible schedules and competitive wages.”
“We are optimistic that through our ongoing recruitment efforts, we will identify the best candidates to continue to grow our team,” it said. “Ridge Road Express is fully committed to supporting Lockport School District student this school year.” | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/school-bus-company-sets-record-straight-on-drivers/article_fff1c2c6-2a3e-11ed-ba93-87fc6cd6bd65.html | 2022-09-02T05:36:13Z | lockportjournal.com | control | https://www.lockportjournal.com/news/local_news/school-bus-company-sets-record-straight-on-drivers/article_fff1c2c6-2a3e-11ed-ba93-87fc6cd6bd65.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the windsand whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me. I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy: myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes, so that when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
— Native American prayer by Yellow Lark, Chief of the Lakota Sioux, 1887

Happy Labor Day. Traditionally, Labor Day marks the official “end” of the summer season. People gather to celebrate and enjoy the last summer holiday. Labor unions celebrate their solidarity and the strength of their work with parades and ceremonies. Parks, pools and other venues begin to close, or change their hours of operation. The sight and sound of school buses will soon be a regular part of our daily travels; teachers, administrators and families are gearing up for the first day of school now. Our favorite summer treats — ice cream, smoothies, iced lattes — will make way for the flavors of fall: apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, hot chocolate, crisp cider, herbal tea.
And so we’re already beginning to make the transition to a new season. Although the Autumnal Equinox won’t arrive until September 22nd, my walkway is already sprinkled with golden leaflets from my locust trees. I’ve already felt the chill of cool summer nights, reminding me that fall will soon be here. I marvel at the invisible passage of time when I realize that change was happening all around me and I was virtually unaware. Flowers are now in full bloom, with abundant, lush, full leaves and amazing colors. The bushes that were perfectly trimmed have outgrown their shapes. The days have grown shorter, and the fire pit will be soon ready for the campfires of fall. The beauty and grace of each season happens under the watchful eyes of God.
Our lives, like the seasons around us, grow, transition and transform despite society’s efforts to conceal or deny the passage of time. The beauty and grace of each life season goes far beyond the superficiality of appearance. The poem included today was one of my mother’s favorites and I memorized it as a child. It means so much more to me now that I have raised a family, and have embraced the new life season of grandparenthood.
God’s word is so encouraging regarding time:
“So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom…. Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children. and let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.” (Psalm 90:12, 14, 17)
Whatever your life season, I encourage you to see the passage of time with God’s beauty and grace, and have a happy Labor Day Weekend.

Frances Tiafoe launched the ball into the stands and threw both his fists high in the air.
The 22nd-seeded American punched his ticket to the third round of the U.S. Open by defeating Australia’s Jason Kubler 7-6(3), 7-5, 7-6(2) in a tight match at the Grandstand on Thursday night.
The second-round matchup was seemingly Tiafoe’s to lose, but Kubler’s steady improvement as of late made the 29-year-old an intriguing player heading into the match. Tiafoe will now face the 14th-seeded Diego Schwartzman, who also advanced with a three-set win over Alexei Popyrin on Thursday.
“I think anybody can win,” Tiafoe said after defeating fellow American Marcos Giron on Tuesday before referring to the effect of then-world No. 40 Nick Kyrgios’ runner-up finish at Wimbledon. “I mean, anyone who’s really got the game.”
Similarly to the tiebreaker of the first set, which he secured 7-3, Tiafoe jumped out to a quick 5-1 lead before ultimately edging Kubler 7-2. Known for having a big service game, Tiafoe played to his strength and won 70 percent of his first-serve points. He also blasted 13 aces in comparison to Kubler’s 10 and double faulted only three times.
Having reached the ATP Houston quarterfinals in addition to losing to Sebastian Baez in the title game of the Estoril Open, Tiafoe has had a relatively strong season thus far. He also went on a run to the semifinals of the Atlanta Open and the quarterfinals of the Citi Open.
Kubler, who has a heavy-hitting style and plays defensively from the baseline, has primarily done well as a doubles player this season. He reached the mixed doubles final at the Australian Open and the men’s doubles summit clash at the Atlanta Open. After his first-round matchup against Mikael Ymer was suspended due to rain on Tuesday, Kubler ultimately won 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.
A 24-year-old, unseeded Tiafoe memorably advanced to the fourth round of the U.S. Open in 2020 before he ultimately lost in three straight sets to Daniil Medvedev. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/02/frances-tiafoe-tops-jason-kubler-in-us-open-second-round/ | 2022-09-02T05:41:04Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/02/frances-tiafoe-tops-jason-kubler-in-us-open-second-round/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Central Washington’s upset bid faded away after a strong start against the defending Division II national champions Thursday night.
Coach Chris Fisk and his staff knew it would take something special to snap No. 1 Ferris State’s streak of 38 straight regular season wins. The Wildcats took the lead twice in the first half, but Fisk said they couldn’t overcome too many mistakes in a 36-20 loss.
“That ultimately ended up being what kind of stung us,” Fisk said. “The things that we needed to do to win that football game were within our control.”
He accepted responsibility on behalf of the coaching staff for not preparing his players better on offense against what Fisk said could be the best front seven in all of Division II. They put intense pressure on quarterback Quincy Glasper all night and mostly shut down the Wildcats’ run game, outside of a 40-yard burst by Tre’ Henderson in the third quarter and some Glasper scrambles.
One of those went for a fourth-quarter touchdown, and the sophomore also connected with Darius Morrison for a 39-yard score to put Central ahead 10-7 in the second quarter. Glasper also had some missed opportunities, giving Fisk plenty of things to work on in the passing game.
Ferris State’s first two drives ended on fourth down inside Central’s 35-yardline. Eventually, though, Central’s lack of offense and little rest led to the defense wearing down against the Bulldogs’ big offensive line, which paved the way for four rushing touchdowns.
“(It was a) gritty performance all night,” Fisk said of his defense. “There’s a ton of playmakers on that offense. They’ve got a dynamic quarterback that can run and throw.”
Junior Mylik Mitchell threw for 339 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Wade for Ferris State’s first score. Seven different receivers caught passes and 10 players carried the ball at least one time.
That depth throughout the roster took its toll on Central Washington’s 52-man road roster, less than half the size of the group on the opposite sideline. Ferris State pushed its lead out to 21 points early in the fourth quarter and outgained the Wildcats 494-229.
Senior linebacker Daeon Hudson posted a team-high 14 tackles, including two sacks. Safeties Jahleel Breland and Tanner Volk picked up where they left off as two of the team’s top tacklers last season, combining for 22.
Central capitalized on the game’s only turnover to take a 3-0 lead when freshman Jude Mullette drilled his first collegiate field goal attempt from 45 yards out. He made a 33-yarder in the second quarter, showcasing what could be a valuable weapon for the Wildcats’ offense.
They’ll appreciate the extra two days to rest and improve before next Saturday’s home opener against Western New Mexico, a team Fisk said has improved considerably since the Wildcats went on the road and beat them 54-29 last November. It will be Central’s first game as an official member of the Lone Star Conference.

Wall Street staged quite a comeback yesterday as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reversed heavy losses with the former even closing in positive territory on the day. It wasn't much (+0.3%) but at this point, investors will take what they can get. The rebound also comes as the index neared a test of its 61.8 Fib retracement level at 3,901 yesterday:
But as much as the bounce was encouraging, it may not prove to be enough after four days of sharp declines. The US jobs report today will be crucial in deciding what comes next and it will be a case of when bad news is good news.
A softer set of numbers will provide a much needed relief for equities, in the sense that it may tone down the Fed's aggressiveness. However, that may all just prove to be a short-term respite as markets will still have to focus on the US CPI data on 13 September to really get a sense of what the Fed's next move will be.
For now, policymakers are maintaining a more aggressive approach but we'll see if they will dial back on that in the weeks to come. But I would wager that as unlikely before we get to the inflation numbers, so even if stocks may find reason to march higher ahead of the long weekend, it may not be a move that would hold for long. | https://www.forexlive.com/news/equities-look-to-us-jobs-report-after-late-wall-street-comeback-20220902/ | 2022-09-02T05:56:00Z | forexlive.com | control | https://www.forexlive.com/news/equities-look-to-us-jobs-report-after-late-wall-street-comeback-20220902/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Honda on Wednesday revealed that the 2023 Honda Civic Type R will have 315 hp, making it the most powerful Honda-badged vehicle ever sold in the U.S.
Honda also detailed what upgrades led to the power increase, along with what tweaks were made to the transmission and suspension for the next-generation Type R.
More power, more cooling
To start, the Civic Type R’s 2.0-liter turbo-4 has been massaged to produce 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The power increase over the outgoing Type R’s 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque comes via three updates: a redesigned turbocharger, an increased air intake flow rate, and a new, more efficient exhaust system.
The turbocharger features an optimized shape, size, and number of turbine wheel blades, Honda explained. That together with a redesigned path for the air intake allows the turbo to more efficiently generate pressure in a wider range.
The larger grille opening on the 2023 Type R feeds a new, larger radiator and larger diameter fan aimed at improving engine cooling while ensuring sustained performance.
An active valve in the new exhaust system’s center pipe opens at a higher rpm than before, but Honda didn’t note at what rpm that magic door opens.
A lighter flywheel and newly optimized shift pattern for the 6-speed manual transmission round out the upgrades. Honda’s also installed a rev-matching system in the 2023 Type R like the one in the 2022 Civic Si.
Tweaked suspension, upgraded brakes
Based on the 11th-generation Civic, the new Type R is longer and wider than before. The 107.7-inch wheelbase has grown 1.4 inches versus the last Type R, and the track is 1.0 wider in the front and 0.75 inches in the rear.
To accommodate the longer and wider Type R Honda engineers retuned the front strut and rear multi-link suspension to improve straight-line stability. Honda said steering feel has improved.
Hauling the Type R down from speed are two-piece Brembo brake rotors up front, hooked to a retuned brake booster that enhances feel and controllability, according to Honda.
Honda hasn’t said how much the 2023 Civic Type R will cost when it goes on sale this fall, but it will be built at the automaker’s Yorii Plant in Japan.

MUSKEGON, Mich. — A historic west Michigan eatery is celebrating its third grand opening.
Pal’s Diner kicked off the holiday weekend Thursday night 50’s style with a retro bike night in Muskegon.
Visitors got their first look at the fully restored 1950s diner, took part in a contest for best 50’s or 60’s attire and enjoyed some live oldies music.
Originally, Pal’s opened in New Jersey back in 1954 before moving to Grand Rapids in the 1990’s.
It closed its doors in 2020, but one of the owners of Hot Rod Harley-Davidson in Muskegon bought it in 2021 and moved it to the lakeshore.
The 67-year-old diner’s restoration includes 1950’s signage, neon lights and inside décor.
When it comes to the food and the atmosphere, the owners hope to add some events into the mix.
“We’ve had two funerals and one wedding here. We want to have events and parties and outside parties and we hope to do that more in the summer obviously than the winter,” Mark Campbell, co-owner of Hot Rod, told FOX 17 Thursday. “We haven’t fully decided whether we’d be open, some evenings. It’s not going to be your basic restaurant where we have a staff and a kitchen. We want to have it more buffet style where you can kind of help yourself to it, move down the line. And it will be a lot quicker and we won’t really be a restaurant, but a destination site where you can ride for a little bit, have fun, come in and rest a little bit, then maybe ride a little bit more.”
Hot Rod says they hope to help highlight what makes the Muskegon community so special, including the beaches. | https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/lakeshore/muskegon/pals-diner-hosts-grand-opening-after-move-to-muskegon | 2022-09-02T05:58:07Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/lakeshore/muskegon/pals-diner-hosts-grand-opening-after-move-to-muskegon | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

THE ROOK: A GOLY COOL INNO MIX A CITY AND TARRISS: I ROCKFORD, Mich. — Rockford scored the final 24 points of its game Thursday night to come away with a 31-27 win over Mona Shores.
The Sailors ran the ball effectively early, and after a Ke'Waun Farnum 4-yard TD run halfway through the third quarter, the Sailors had a 27-7 lead.
After the Rams got a safety, they would score three touchdowns, first on a Mac VandenHout run and two scoring passes from VandeHout to Alex McLean and Brody Thompson.
"Something clicked, we obviously were down at halftime we needed to make and adjustment," Rams quarterback Mac VandenHout. "It took our coach just to get us all together and say hey, we got to go, our defense is playing lights out, if we don't go bad things could happen and we fought hard, they fought hard, tremendous game. I'm glad that the first half happened so we could get a little bit of adversity, get some fight back."
VandeHout finished the game 10-17 passing for 249 yards and 3 TDs, he also ran 15 times for 80 yards and a score.
Brody Thompson caught 3 passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns.
Rockford improves to 2-0 on the season and will open up OK Red play next Friday at West Ottawa.
"Adversity is a big part of football," Rockford head coach Brent Cumming said. "These guys did a great job of chunking away, trusting their coaching, doing their job. We preach not to focus on the scoreboard, all those things that you are always trying to teach these young men. It shows, that is a lesson right there that every single play, do your job and over time you can over come these battles."

Osaka: H S Prannoy went down fighting to World Championships bronze medallist Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei in the men's singles quarterfinals, bringing down the curtains on India's campaign at the Japan Open here on Friday.
The 30-year-old played out of his skin and saved three match points, only to endure the agony of losing it in the end, as Chou emerged victorious 21-17, 15-21, 22-20 in a pulsating contest that lasted an hour and 20 minutes.
One of the most consistent Indian players in the circuit this season, Prannoy recovered well from an opening game reversal, and kept breathing down his opponent's neck till the last point but, in the end, Chou's perseverance saw him through in this match at the Super 750 tournament.
Coming into the match after his twin wins against Chou in the last two meetings, Prannoy engaged in a battle of attrition with his rival, and was up 12-8 in the opening game.
However, Chou recovered to turn the tables at 15-14 when Prannoy went to net. The Taiwanese was pumped up as he moved to a two-point advantage after the Indian faltered with his net shot twice.
Another stiff return on his opponent's backhand ended with Prannoy sending one to the net, and when he put his forehand to the net, there were three game point opportunities for Chou.
A precise cross court return gave Chou the bragging rights.
After the change of sides, Chou again opened up a slender 5-4 lead before a lucky net chord brought it on an even keel. While Chou's returns got steeper and his attack stronger, Prannoy's errors piled up as he fell behind 6-10.
Prannoy tried to set the pace of the rallies, and a fantastic rally ended with a lucky net chord for the Indian, who drew parity at 10-10 when Chou faltered at the front court.
However, Chou had his nose ahead at the interval with Prannoy failing to defend a shot on his backhand.
After resumption, Prannoy showed better defence and produced some accurate down-the-line smashes to nose ahead of his opponent, who suddenly committed a series of errors, especially in the front court.
With Prannoy leading 19-14, Chou unleashed a cross-court smash off the Indian's serve to break the run of play. But Prannoy ensured there were no hiccups as he took the match to the decider with Chou going long.
Prannoy had an erratic start to the decider as he sprayed the shuttle wide to fall behind 1-4. Chou went long thrice before producing a body smash to end a gruelling rally and take a 6-4 lead.
Things didn't go Prannoy's way as he struggled to control the shuttle and a series of unforced errors saw Chou take a six-point cushion at the break.
Prannoy constructed the rallies well and precision in his returns, including two delightful cross-court returns, helped him make it 12-13. But once again, unforced errors crept in his game as he went long and to the net, to allow Chou take a 17-14 lead.
The Taiwanese produced a body smash to maintain his three-point lead before gaining three match points chances with the Indian going to net.
Chou went wide twice and Prannoy unleashed a down-the-line smash in between to save the three match points, but he served out next to once again hand his opponent a match point, and he sealed it in his favour when Prannoy went wide. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/other-sports/2022/09/02/japan-open-heartbreak-for-prannoy-as-indian-challenge-ends.amp.html | 2022-09-02T06:10:59Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/other-sports/2022/09/02/japan-open-heartbreak-for-prannoy-as-indian-challenge-ends.amp.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The brother duo of Jake and Owen Long combined for five of the seven La Serna touchdowns to lead the Lancers to a lopsided 49-7 non-league win over visiting Los Osos Thursday night at California high school.
Jake Long passed for 170 yards and three touchdowns, including a 50-yard pass to his brother Owen Long, who also had seven carries for 53 yards and scored three touchdowns.
“It’s a game that we definitely needed,” said Jake Long, after a tough loss last week at Warren. “The O-line has been great the first couple of games and have only given up one sack, I think. We’re moving along as a team on offense, so that’s good.”
With the win, La Serna improves to 2-1.
The Lancers, with 11 different running backs, ran for 242 yards on the ground.
The La Serna defense held Los Osos (1-2) to 11 yards in the game.
“We opened up the season with two tough ones and we knew coming in to this one it was important t put together a complete game,” La Serna coach Andy George said. “The goal was to put together a complete game on both sides of the football. We hadn’t done that yet.”
Los Osos was led by junior quarterback Mason Overacker with 109 yards passing with an interception. His lone touchdown pass was for 79 yards and he also ran for 15 yards.
La Serna scored on all five possessions in the opening half and only turned the ball over on downs once.
Leading the way on the ground for the Lancers was Owen Long with 53 yards and two touchdowns in the half.
The Lancers defense held Los Osos to 12 yards rushing in the opening half.
The Lancers opened the scoring with a 75-yard drive, culminating with a 5-yard touchdown run by Owen Long. Highlighting the drive was a 14-yard run by senior running back Austin Martinez (7 carries for 46 yards).
Just three minutes later, the brother connection of Jake Long to Owen Long resulted in the 50-yard score.
“Jake had a great night, along with Owen,” George said. “It was nice to see them connect on the long touchdown. No pun intended.”
The Lancers scored three more times before the Grizzlies could break the shutout.
The scores came on Martinez’s five-yard run, a Jake Long to Jayden Northrup 38-yard pass play and a one-yard run by Owen Long.
The Grizzlies lone highlight of the night came on a pump fake by Overacker for a 79-yard touchdown reception by senior wide receiver Andrew Garcia, who got behind the defense.
Adding late runs by the Lancers was junior running back Johnny Navarro (6 carries for 35 yards, 2-yard touchdown) and sophomore Elijah Blu Flores II (6 carries for 30 yards).

Pasadena rallied back with three straight scores and held on for a wild 22-21 victory.
Damien probably could have tied it late, but went for it and came up short.
Trailing 22-15 on fourth down, Damien quarterback Dylan Gutierrez hit Ayden Gutierrez for a 15-yard touchdown with 2:04 left, needing the extra point to tie the score. But the Spartans went for the go-ahead two-point conversion, and again, it was Dylan Gutierrez to Ayden Gutierrez. But Ayden landed inches out of the back of the end zone, and the Bulldogs held on for the one point victory.
“We got here late and came out slow in the first half, that’s unacceptable,” said Brooks. “But we had a talk at and we came out blasting in the second half. I made a pick and we just got straight after it. We knew they weren’t better than us talent wise, and that’s why the score is what it is.”
With Damien up 15-0, it was Brooks that go them going with an interception early in the third quarter that eventually led to Bulldogs quarterback Indiana Wijay connecting with Zavontae Flournoy-Trice for an 18-yard touchdown with 7:57 left in the third quarter, making it 15-7.
Then in was Brooks again, scoring on a 46-yard touchdown run, and catching the two-point conversion as the Bulldogs tied the score, 15-15, with 7:52 left.

“That’s what he’s supposed to do,” Pasadena coach DeJuan Shamburger said of Brooks. “That’s why he’s big-time.”
And with Damien driving for the go-ahead score, Dylan Gutierrez fumbled, and Micah McGavin picked it up and returned it 70 yards for a touchdown with 3:41 left to go up 22-15.
“Coaches always tell me, scoop and score,” McGavin said. “You see the ball on the floor you either jump on it or take it to the apartments and I took it to the apartments.”

Shamburger talked about their emotional win to improve to 2-1.
“I told them the second half we have to be a dog,” Shamburger said. “We talked about it and everyone agreed and we came out and did what we were supposed to do and got a victory.”
It was a tough loss for Damien (1-2), who was without star sophomore running back Steven Chavez, who injured his ankle in the first quarter.
Still, Dylan Gutierrez was solid, throwing for 273 yards and three touchdowns, it just wasn’t enough.
Spartans coach Matt Bechtel talked abou the decision to go for the go-ahead score instead of trying to tie it late.

“At the end of the game we’re going to go for the win,” Bechtel said. “We actually came out of the huddle in the wrong formation so I think we panicked a little on offense. I know he (Ayden Gutierrez) made a great catch and according to the refs he was out of the back of the end zone. But that play at the end kind of epitomizes the whole night. We made too many mistakes. I credit Pasadena and their coaches for battling, but that’s a game we gave away.”
It was all Damien in the first half, and two big plays got them going.
Ayden Gutierrez came up with a pick on the Bulldogs’ first pass play from Wijay, who was trying to find Brooks on a deep pass over the middle.
On the next play, Dylan Gutierrez cashed it in, hitting tight end Ryan Boultwood, and he shook a defender and went 55 yards for a score and 8-0 lead after the two-point conversion.
With the Spartans’ defense playing well, their offense went to work again.
Dylan Gutierrez sold a beautiful pump fake, and hit Elijah Bechtel down the sidelines for a 52-yard touchdown and 15-0 lead and it stayed that way until half.

La Salle backup quarterback Will Clougherty had no idea at the beginning of this week he’d get the call to start against a tough Bonita team. But Lancer starting quarterback David Mysza was unable to go due to an ankle sprain.
Clougherty then stepped up and said he wanted to earn the respect of this team. That was clearly earned as he led the Lancers to a surprising 30-22 win over the Bearcats in nonleague action on Thursday night.
Clougherty completed 12 of 14 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown pass. He also rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown to help give La Salle its first win of the season.
“The whole week I was preparing,” Clougherty said. “I actually found out on Tuesday I was going to be the starting quarterback.”
“There’s an innate thing about a quarterback that will make everyone else around him play better,” said La Salle coach Ben Buys. “And that’s what (Clougherty) has. He was literally like ‘Coach, I got this. I got this.’”
Buys said Clougherty wasn’t at all nervous before the game and was excited about the challenge. That was evident to start the game.
Buys said the game plan was to run the ball the majority of the time which La Salle did, in part, because of Cloughtery’s ability to run the read option effectively. That running game allowed La Salle to keep the clock moving and the ball away from a potent Bonita offense.
Bonita jumped out to a 7-0 lead following a Cole Parra one-yard touchdown run with 6:50 left in the first quarter. The Lancers then used a 12-play, 79-yard drive that ate up 5:59 to tie the game late in the quarter when Clougherty hit freshman Drew Ward in the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown.
Two plays later, a Daniel Andrade pass was deflected. Jack Seibert then grabbed it on the deflection and scampered 16 yards for an interception return that gave La Salle a 14-7 lead.
The Lancers led 17-7 at halftime before taking a 24-7 lead with 4:46 left in the third quarter when Clougherty ran the ball into the end zone from five yards out. That finished an eight-play, 50-yard drive.
La Salle (1-2) took a 30-14 lead when Anthony Balurdi rumbled into the end zone from 15 yards out with 5:15 left in the game. The extra point though was wide. That touchdown was set up when Bonita’s Ryder Cadam slipped as he called for a fair catch on a punt. The ball hit him and was recovered by La Salle’s Aidan Leyland.
Bonita (1-2) didn’t give up though. Andrade led the Bearcats back when he guided them to a quick touchdown on an eight-play, 75-yard drive that ended when he found Noah Mikhail in the back corner of the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown with 3:03 left. The two-point conversion pass to Georgie Markossian was good.
La Salle then got the ball back with 2:56 remaining. Bonita used its final two timeouts when La Salle faced a third-and-10 at its 43 with 2:36 left. Clougherty had to leave the game for leg cramps. Dylan Taylor came in at quarterback and handed off to Balurdi who ran 10 yards for a first down.
La Salle later faced a fourth-and-2 at the Bonita 24 with 25 seconds left but Leyland was stuffed on an end around. Bonita had one last chance but Andrade’s last second pass deep was intercepted.
Andrade finished the game completing 15 of 29 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions. Bonita running back Connor Spina rushed for 72 yards on eight carries, all in the second half.
The Bearcats will have to forget about this game quickly because they play San Dimas next week in the Smudge Pot rivalry.

Gardening can get expensive with all the tools, sprays, soil amendments – and of course the plants.
But not every item needs to cost a lot. Or anything at all, in some cases.
In this time when inflation looms large and a buck doesn’t stretch as far, here are five low-cost ways that gardeners can continue doing what they love.
1. Compost and Mulch
Lots of places offer free compost and mulch – or can help you make your own – if you know where to look. Here are some places to look around Southern California.
Orange County: Orange County’s waste management agency, OC Waste & Recycling, has recently gotten into the business of compost. OCWR is producing compost in areas adjacent to its landfills in Irvine and San Juan Capistrano with plans to do the same at a third facility in Brea, in accordance with state laws that require that green waste be repurposed. The compost is composed of plant cuttings, grass clippings, weeds and other materials that commonly go into green waste receptacles.
The agency had its first giveaway of compost for Orange County residents in May at the Frank R. Bowerman landfill in Irvine and people showed up in droves. Some took pre-packed bags of the material while others came with shovel in hand and filled up the beds of their trucks from larger piles.
“They picked up every last speck,” said David Tieu, OCWR’s Central Region Deputy Director.
San Bernardino County: The Inland Empire Utilities Agency in San Bernardino County also does giveaways of compost composed of green waste and biosolids twice a year during events for Earth Day in April and International Compost Awareness Week in early May. They also often partner with the City of Chino to provide compost in bulk and bags on a Saturday in May. People interested in picking up compost should check the agency’s website for updates.
Riverside County: The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources offers explainers on both traditional composting and composting with worms. They also do in person classes that are free for all to attend, according to an email from Janet Moreland, a recycling specialist with the department.
Los Angeles County: Compost’s cousin, mulch, is the star of the show in Los Angeles. The city offers free mulch giveaways for residents at various locations. Some of the locations offer the mulch only on specific days each week while others offer the mulch daily. More information can be found by visiting the Los Angeles sanitation website.
2. Coffee Grounds
Coffee grounds are a popular soil amendment for gardeners because they contain nitrogen, which promotes green leafy growth on plants, and it also encourages the growth of beneficial microorganisms in soil. One place that has plenty of leftover grounds is Starbucks.
Since 1995, Starbucks locations have been giving away bags of used coffee grounds as part of the company’s Grounds for Your Garden program.
The program is one of the ways the company is trying to reduce food waste and it’s not just coffee, but Starbucks packaging that gets another life. The grounds are packed in bags that previously stored espresso beans, according to an email from a company representative.
The email notes that not all locations participate in Grounds for Your Garden so those interested should check with their local Starbucks to see if grounds are available.
3. Seeds and seed saving
One of the easiest ways to save money is to save seeds from existing plants.
Saving seeds is not only free, but gardeners who save seeds over multiple seasons from the same variety can develop plants that are more adapted to their area.
Tomatoes, cilantro, lettuce, peas, beans and marigolds are all easy beginner plants to save seeds from, but for gardeners who want to go more complicated and save seeds from something like a melon, there are many online informational resources.
The Seed Savers Exchange website provides detailed instructions on how far apart to plant different varieties so they don’t cross pollinate and how to extract their seeds.
4.) Companies that give away seeds
Some companies give away free seed packets with paid orders in hopes that customers will discover something new to love.
Missouri-based Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds gives away a packet of seeds for every order of $10 or more and two packets for every order of $35, according to Kathy McFarland, a public relations representative for the company.
She said frequent Baker Creek shoppers who put in multiple orders sometimes end up with the same free variety more than once, but those customers will often trade their packs for a different variety in places such as Facebook groups.
McFarland said Baker Creek receives lots of positive feedback about the free varieties.
`“There’s a good number of comments from people who have gotten something they’ve never heard of, they’ve never tried, but because it’s free, they will try it and they’re very happy that they tried it,” She said. “It’s part of our goal, too. We’re an heirloom seed company so we would love for people to try things that they have not tried before.”
McFarland said the company also has an extensive donation program and has given seeds away to master gardener events, community gardens, school gardens, seed libraries and more. She said the company will try to accommodate requests for certain types of vegetables but isn’t able to fulfill requests for specific varieties.
She said the company prefers to donate to nonprofit organizations with a 501(c)(3) designation but “that is not an absolute must.”
5. Books and online reading material
A bit of expertise can help in the garden, and a search of the internet reveals plenty of free books on subjects ranging from tips for beginners to information on how to can produce.
Reading services such as Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook offer a rich assortment of books for a price, but there are also plenty of free titles that can be found on each service – as well as, of course, through the local library.
Those looking for some vintage inspiration can find thousands of old seed catalogs for free on the Henry G. Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“It’s all there,” Craig LeHoullier, author of the book “Epic Tomatoes,” said in a recent interview. “People will go on eBay and spend hundreds of dollars for old seed catalogs, but they’re all there, digitized, free.”
People tend to like the catalogs because they give an insight into old heirloom varieties that people would have been growing in decades past, but LeHoullier said the catalogs also provide information on how to grow various kinds of plants and how to contend with common issues.
“It reinforces and comforts you because you realize those diseases and the bugs that are affecting your garden, are the same things people were grappling with back in the 1870s or the 1900s,” LeHoullier said.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — July 5, 2020 was a calm clear day over Lake Coeur d'Alene when boaters near Powderhorn Bay saw a fiery explosion in the sky.
A De Havilland Beaver operated by Brooke's Seaplanes was on a scenic flight with five passengers and a pilot on board. A Cessna 206 with a pilot and passenger had left the Coeur d'Alene Airport on its way to Lewiston.
Witnesses reported the two planes were flying directly toward each other when they collided about 700 feet above the water.
Brian Olsen lost his 15-year-old daughter Sophie and 11-year-old son Quinn, who had sent him a video shortly after the seaplane took off.
All 8 people on board the planes died.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has looked into the crash for more than two years. They published a final report Wednesday closing the investigation.
That report found that mechanical issues did not play a role in the crash. Instead, both pilots failed to see each other and avoid the collision.
Both pilots were experienced, including Neil Lunt, the owner of Brooke's Seaplanes who had more than 20,000 hours of flight time under his belt. His death forced the popular attraction to close for two years. Brookes Seaplanes reopened this July under a new owner.
The report also determined that both pilots died from blunt force injuries. Toxicology tests showed no signs of drugs or alcohol in their systems.

Where can you see the best fall colors in Colorado? Here's a list
Colorado has plenty of spectacular summer drives, but add golden aspen dripping from mountainsides and hugging roads, and the scenery is downright jaw-dropping.
This is shaping up to be a good season for fall foliage given our warm, sunny days and cool nights.
The show generally peaks in mid- to late September in the northern mountains, the third week of September into the second week of October in the central mountains and late September into mid-October for the southern mountains.
Here is a list of the best places to enjoy the changing colors before winter turns all that gold to white.
Best places to see aspen fall colors in Colorado
Kebler Pass
The 30-mile drive on a mix of pavement and gravel on Kebler Pass Road (Gunnison County Road 12) just west of Crested Butte to Colorado Highway 133 is the quintessential Colorado aspen drive.
This area boasts the largest aspen grove in North America. The drive takes you through a tunnel of aspen with golden leaves carpeting the road. And if that’s not enough, on the west end of the road are panoramic views of the West Elk Mountains.
For more information, visit https://gunnisoncrestedbutte.com/crested-butte-and-gunnison-fall-guide/.
Maroon Bells
The Bells are located about 42 miles southeast of Aspen off of Colorado Highway 82.
It's said the Bells are the most photographed mountains in North America, and a visit here in fall only adds to the beauty. The view of golden aspen among dark green conifers reflected in Maroon Lake is breathtaking.
This place is usually crowded, so either get there early or plan to take a shuttle bus to the area.
For more information, visit www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=82346.
Dallas Divide
Take Colorado Highway 62 west from Ridgway, and for even more color continue to Colorado Highway 145 south to Telluride.
This area offers a superb combination of bountiful aspen and majestic mountains in 14,157-foot Mount Sneffels and 14,252-foot Mount Wilson.
For more information, visit codot.gov/travel/scenic-byways/southwest/san-juan-skyway.
Grand Mesa Scenic Byway
This 63-mile paved road leaves Interstate 70 about 45 miles east of Grand Junction and heads up Colorado Highway 65 on the Grand Mesa to Cedaredge.
The world's largest mesa is filled with color from aspen, cottonwoods and scrub oak dotted with aspen-ringed lakes. Take the Land's End Road for a panoramic view of the Colorado River and Grand Valley 6,000 feet below your 11,000-foot perch.
For more information, visit coloradodirectory.com/maps/gmbyway.html.
La Veta Pass
This 50-mile drive on U.S. Highway 160 takes you from Walsenburg to Fort Garland.
The highlight is 9,400-foot La Veta Pass, where golden aspen mix with the dark greens of pines. Stiff competition for viewing spots is ever present with the stunning views of the Spanish Peaks and Sangre de Cristo mountains that tower above the San Luis Valley floor.
For more information, visit spanishpeakscountry.com.
Guanella Pass
This 22-mile scenic byway between Georgetown and Grant turns from a paved to well-maintained gravel road. From I-70, take the Georgetown exit and follow the signs.
While the aspen show is grand here, expect to encounter crowds due to its proximity to Denver.
For more information, visit codot.gov/travel/scenic-byways/north-central/guanella-pass.
Flat Tops Trail
If you want to ditch the crowds, this 82-mile stretch of paved and gravel road between Meeker and Yampa is for you.
The Flat Tops Trail boasts one of the best aspen viewing drives in northwest Colorado. Some of the best aspen viewing is in the Dunckley Pass area.
For more information, visit https://www.codot.gov/travel/colorado-byways/northwest/flat-tops-trail.
Best fall color viewing closer to Fort Collins
Looking for something closer to Fort Collins? Try one of these routes. For up-to-date closure information, visit www.fs.usda.gov/arp.
Buckhorn Canyon/Pingree Park loop
One of the more popular aspen viewing drives near Fort Collins includes a loop consisting of Buckhorn Road (Larimer County Road 44H), Pingree Park Road (Larimer County Road 63), Colorado Highway 14, Larimer County Road 27 (Stove Prairie Road) and Rist Canyon Road (Larimer County Road 52E). Be aware that LCR 44H may be only one lane in portions due to flooding damage.
Upper Poudre Canyon
The upper Poudre Canyon from Rustic to Cameron Pass is where the most damage to aspen occurred. This area offers close-up and panoramic views of the massive burn scar.
The aspen show resumes in abundance once over Cameron Pass and heading into North Park, making the drive worth it.
Rocky Mountain National Park
For the third year, the park has implemented a timed-entry permit reservation system that runs through Oct. 10.
That means you will either need to purchase a reservation permit or access the park without a timed-entry permit before 5 a.m. and after 6 p.m. for the Bear Lake corridor and before 9 a.m. and after 3 p.m. for the rest of the park.
Aspen stands along the popular Cub Lake/Fern Lake trail were heavily damaged, as were areas along the west side of the park.
The higher elevations of the park usually offer the first color of the season. A good loop drive is to take the slower and less-crowded gravel Fall River Road up and take the paved and more crowded Trail Ridge Road down.
Hidden Valley Play Area on the lower part of Trail Ridge Road is one of the best viewing spots. Aspen are not overly abundant in the park, but there are streaks of color throughout.
The Kawuneeche Valley on the west side of the park offers good fall color.
Peak to Peak Highway
This drive on Colorado Highway 7 from Estes Park to Central City/Black Hawk takes you along the eastern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park and offers excellent viewing. Drive this in the morning, as the majority of the aspen are to the west and will be lit up by the morning sun.

Colorado fall foliage outlook 2022: Mr. Aspen gives his prediction
Aspen viewing in Colorado is setting up quite nicely for this fall, with the colorful show expected to go off about on cue, according to Colorado’s Mr. Aspen.
Dan West is a Colorado State Forest Service entomologist who just wrapped up two months of flying the state’s 24 million acres of forests to check on tree health. He is the go-to guy when it comes to Colorado aspen viewing.
He said the show might go off a little early but still is pretty much right on time. And as for this year’s colors …
“I think we will have a better show than last year," West said. “But I wouldn’t put it in the stellar category. We need a couple of good winters and and couple of good summers of monsoonal flow to really get a flush of great aspen viewing."
Aspen mostly take their color-changing cues from shorter day lengths. But other factors such as tree health, weather, drought or increased moisture, elevation and latitude all have roles in the show, according to the state forest service. The higher in elevation, the sooner leaves change.
Seasons change from year to year, but generally peak aspen viewing is mid- to late September for the northern mountains, the third week of September into second week of October for the central mountains and late September to mid-October for the southern mountains.

How temperature, precipitation and fire help fuel Colorado's fall colors show
This is Colorado, so you can’t discount anything happening with the weather, such as early freeze, heavy snow and strong wind, all of which can cause leaves to drop. Still, conditions are aligning for a drive-worthy show:
- Weather outlook: Check. The National Weather Service is predicting warmer-than-normal days with plenty of sunshine and moderate to below-normal precipitation September through November. West said warm, sunny days and cool, not cold, nights are key. He said warm, sunny days burn off the green in leaves, leaving yellow, red and orange to pop.
- Precipitation: Check. While the forecast is for a drier-than-normal fall, an active monsoon this summer somewhat helped drought-stressed aspen and other trees. Healthy stands provide better color. Thursday’s drought monitor showed no drought designation for much of the state’s aspen stands near the Continental Divide, abnormally dry conditions for areas like the San Juan Mountains and moderate drought for the Grand Mesa area.
- Forest fires: Check. The historic wildfire season in 2020 is starting to pay dividends. Aspen are one of the first plants to reestablish in burn scars. Aspen in some areas of the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome burn scars are starting to approach 4 to 5 feet.
Aspen also are more resistant to fire than other trees, and though some burned, many stands survived.
“These early colonizers can flush and put out some good color, but it might be a bit early (size wise) for that in some places," West said. “These stands might be better viewed from afar compared to up close.’’
Some Colorado fall foliage viewing areas impacted by spring frost, drought, insects
West said a late spring frost nipped some aspen, which forced the trees to drop their leaves and grow new ones. That, in addition to some pest damage, has impacted stands in the central part of the state, including the popular Kenosha Pass area.
He added that some aspen in the Steamboat Springs area continue to be impacted by drought.
Also, frost will impact the orange-red fall foliage of Gambel oak, mostly found in the southern half of the state. Pockets of narrowleaf cottonwoods in parts of the state will have less color due to insect infestation.
Narrowleaf cottonwoods, which turn bright yellow, can be found along many river drainages, including the Poudre Canyon. | https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2022/09/02/colorado-fall-colors-outlook-2022-expert-gives-predictions-dan-west-aspen/65464318007/ | 2022-09-02T06:49:12Z | coloradoan.com | control | https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2022/09/02/colorado-fall-colors-outlook-2022-expert-gives-predictions-dan-west-aspen/65464318007/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
4 takeaways: Fossil Ridge football can't hang with 'as advertised' No. 3 Grandview
Fossil Ridge had the momentum, even dating all the way back to last season.
It was out the window early Thursday night, as third-ranked Grandview scored on its third play from scrimmage and never looked back in a 49-17 rout over the SaberCats.
While the Wolves are certainly 5A state-title contenders in Colorado, the SaberCats are clearly not at that level yet.
"They’re as advertised at No. 3 in the state," said Fossil Ridge head coach Jeff Fulton. "We couldn't match up with them tonight."
Here are four takeaways from Fossil football’s first loss of the season.
Early barrage dooms Fossil
The SaberCats had that aforementioned momentum, coming off a league title run last year and a last-minute comeback win over Loveland in the season opener.
The Wolves made sure it didn’t last.
Running back Chase Dahir romped 77 yards to the house on Grandview’s first possession, setting a quick tone.
Fossil fought back with a long drive spurred by a successful fake punt, but a fumble killed a promising drive deep in Wolves territory.
"We had all the momentum early, faked a punt perfectly that we'd worked on and then just made too many mistakes," Fulton said.
Grandview running back Donavon Vernon almost immediately followed that swing with a 21-yard scoring scamper. Liam Skarza’s 47-yard TD strike to Xay Neto made it 21-0 early in the second quarter and Fossil Ridge was never within three scores the rest of the way.
"They made big plays, gashing plays," Fulton said. "We didn’t make them punt one time, and that’s going to keep me up tonight."
While the SaberCats settled in and played the visitors to a virtual draw over the final 30 minutes, spotting 21 points to a top-5 team was a nightmare start in a game Fossil needed to bring its A game.
Clean it up
Speaking of A game, the SaberCats simply committed too many self-inflicted miscues.
Missed tackles. Big plays. Turnovers.
The hallmark signs of a sloppy effort were all there, and this was more like a C- performance.
It started on defense, as missed tackles sprung a Wolves big gainer on nearly every Grandview offensive possession.
All told, the Wolves put up over 550 yards of offense and had double-digit plays that went for at least 20 yards.
Part of that was massive tight end Simon Kibbee just being an unfair mismatch. But the big plays also uniformly featured a Grandview player shaking off multiple SaberCats.
Kibbee had 7 receptions for over 130 yards and two touchdowns, while Grandview quarterback had three touchdown passes along with an 80-yard TD run.
It wasn’t just one side of the ball. The Fossil Ridge offense also had that early fumble and then Tyler Kubat-quarter tossed a second interception. Both turnovers led directly to Wolves’ touchdowns.
"They made a lot of plays and we didn’t match them," said senior receiver Trek Keyworth. "As a team, we all feel responsibility for it."
It’s the second straight game with multiple turnovers to start the season for Fossil Ridge.
"We would have had to totally eliminate those mistakes to make it close at the end against a team that good," Fulton said. "We didn’t have the skillset to do that tonight with our issues."
Offense still shows high ceiling
Fossil Ridge didn’t have its sharpest offensive game, but there will still plenty of positive signs.
Kubat followed up his 4-touchdown opener with two more scores and over 200 yards passing. Trek Keyworth continues to look like a dynamite receiver on the edge, hauling in a touchdown pass with another 100-yard game.
"We’re a very electric offense and we know that," Keyworth said. "We moved it but didn’t put up as many points as we expect tonight."
Part of that was an injury bug that has hampered Fossil Ridge early in the season. Star wideout Mac Busteed (hamstring) missed the game, while Marcus Mozer has an elbow injury and Domenic Leone is still returning to the team after he planned to focus on basketball only.
"Those guys will really change up the offense when they're back," Keyworth said.
"I'm not worried about our offense," Fulton said. "But there's always room to get better."
Long road ahead
Of all teams, Fossil Ridge knows not to read too much into a Sept. 1 game.
The SaberCats started 1-4 last year and reversed that record down the stretch to win the league title and make the playoffs.
They won't be knocked flat by the lopsided loss, especially considering how good Grandview is.
"That’s a really good, really sound team on the other sideline, and they just came out and won it," Fulton said. "But there’s no sad-sack here. We’re going to bounce right back."
Fossil Ridge has a long way to go to compete with 5A's best, and that was the coaching staff's message after the game.
Not there yet, but this game will help identify their biggest weaknesses.
And the schedule is very manageable, allowing Fossil Ridge to rebound. All told, the SaberCats only leave the Fort Collins metro area for three games: Arvada West, Boulder and Fairview (also in Boulder).
There's Brighton at home next week and a "road trip" to Windsor just seven miles away the week after. There's opportunity to stack some wins soon.
"Can't wait for Homecoming next week and it should be a good game," Keyworth said. "We can still achieve all our goals if we get better." | https://www.coloradoan.com/story/sports/csu/football/2022/09/02/colorado-high-school-football-grandview-blows-out-fossil-ridge/65465012007/ | 2022-09-02T06:49:18Z | coloradoan.com | control | https://www.coloradoan.com/story/sports/csu/football/2022/09/02/colorado-high-school-football-grandview-blows-out-fossil-ridge/65465012007/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A man tried to kill Argentina's politically powerful Vice President Cristina Fernández outside her home, but the handgun misfired, the country's president said.
The man was quickly overpowered by her security officers in the incident Thursday night, officials said.
President Alberto Fernández, who is not related to the vice president, a former president herself, said the pistol did not discharge when the man tried to fire it.
"A man pointed a firearm at her head and pulled the trigger," the president said in a national broadcast following the incident. He said the firearm was loaded with five bullets but "didn't fire even though the trigger was pulled."
The vice president did not appear to have suffered any injury, and the man was overpowered within seconds as he stood among a crowd of her supporters.
Gina De Bai, a witness who was near the vice president during the incident, told The Associated Press she heard "the sound of the trigger being pulled." She said she didn't realize it was a handgun until the man was rushed by security personnel.
President Fernández called it "the most serious incident since we recovered democracy" in 1983 after a military dictatorship and urged political leaders, and society at large, to repudiate the attempted shooting.
The attack came as the vice president is facing a trial for alleged acts of corruption during her 2007-2015 presidency — charges that she vehemently denies and that have led her supporters to surround her home in the upscale Recoleta neighborhood of Argentina's capital.
Video broadcast on local television channels showed Fernández exiting her vehicle surrounded by supporters when a man is seen extending his hand with what looks like a pistol. The vice president ducks as people around the apparent gunman appear shocked at what is happening.
Unverified video posted on social media shows the pistol almost touched Fernández's face.
The alleged gunman was identified as Fernando André Sabag Montiel, a Brazilian citizen, said an official at the Security Ministry, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He does not have a criminal record, the official said. ading that the weapon was a .32-caliber Bersa.
The president declared Friday a holiday "so the Argentine people can, in peace and harmony, express itself in defense of life, democracy and in solidarity with our vice president."
Supporters of the vice president have been gathering in the streets surrounding her home since last week, when a prosecutor called for a 12-year sentence for Fernández as well as a life-long prohibition in holding public office in the corruption case.
Shortly after the incident, government officials were quick to decry what they called an assassination attempt.
"When hate and violence are imposed over the debate of ideas, societies are destroyed and generate situations like the one seen today: an assassination attempt," Economy Minister Sergio Massa said.
Cabinet ministers issued a news release saying they "energetically condemn the attempted homicide" of the vice president. "What happened tonight is of extreme gravity and threatens democracy, institutions and the rule of law."
Former President Mauricio Macri, a conservative who succeeded the left-of-center Fernández in the presidency, also condemned the attack. "This very serious event demands an immediate and profound clarification by the judiciary and security forces," Macri wrote on Twitter.
Patricia Bullrich, president of the opposition Republican Proposal party, criticized President Fernández's reaction to the attack, accusing him of "playing with fire." She said that "instead of seriously investigating a serious incident, he accuses the opposition and the press, decreeing a national holiday to mobilize activists."
Tensions have been running high in the Recoleta neighborhood since the weekend, when the vice president's supporters clashed with police in the streets surrounding her apartment amid an effort by law enforcement officers to clear the area. Following the clashes, what had been a strong police presence around the vice president's apartment was reduced.
When Fernández leaves her apartment every day at around noon, she greets supporters and signs autographs before getting in her vehicle to go to the Senate. She repeats the same routine every evening.
Following the incident, allies of the vice president quickly pointed the finger at the opposition for what they said is hateful speech that promotes violence. In recent days, several key officials have said opposition leaders were looking for a fatality.
"This is a historic event in Argentina that must be a before-and-after," Buenos Aires Gov. Axel Kicillof said.
Regional leaders also condemned the attack.
"We send our solidarity to the vice president in this attempt against her life," Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said on Twitter.
Former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva, who is a candidate in that nation's presidential election next month, also expressed solidarity with Fernández, calling her a "victim of a fascist criminal who doesn't know how to respect differences and diversity."

Airport's defense makes a stand in thrilling victory over Flat Rock
CARLETON – Nolan Zajac didn’t even know he was a hero.
The junior made a key hit on a play that saved the game for Airport’s football team Thursday night, but he thought someone else deserved the credit.
“Nah, that wasn’t me,” he said when Airport coach Jim Duffy praised him for the big hit.
Then, Duffy produced a tablet and showed Zajac video of the play.
“I did make that hit,” he exclaimed as a smile crept across his face.
Zajac can be excused for not remembering. Too much was going on in the final seconds of Airport’s thrilling 21-19 win over Flat Rock in the Huron League opener for both schools.
Flat Rock scored a touchdown on the final play of the game as Brian Booms powered in from the 1-yard to slice Airport’s lead to 2-points.
The Rams tried the same play on a 2-point conversion attempt to tie the score, but this time Airport was ready.
Zajac fired into the hole and drove the lead blocker back into Booms, then Kaden Kull and Chase Johnson finished off the game-saving tackle.
“It was just read and look,” Zajac said. “It was an instinct play. … Basically, we had two chances to stop them. The touchdown was from the 1-yard line and the 2-pointer was from the 3, so obviously we had a better chance on that one.”

Kull and Johnson agreed that there isn’t much of a chance to think on short-yardage plays.
“It’s see ball, get ball,” Johnson said.
“You just have to attack,” Kull added. “It’s all instincts. You see it and go.”
Flat Rock coach Buck Reaume said Airport simply made a play at the right time in a battle of two evenly matched teams.
“We had a play that we liked that had been working for us,” he said. “It looked like we had it lined up. Their linebacker just shot the gap and made a play.”
Flat Rock called its final timeout before the touchdown run by Booms. Duffy told his players during the stoppage that the game could come down to a 2-point conversion.
“We talked in the huddle about how we had two chances to stop them,” he said. “We told them, ‘You can’t get your heads down if they score on the first one.’”
The coach wasn’t surprised to see Zajac step up.
“He met the lead back in the hole and pushed him into the runner,” Duffy said. “He’s a tough kid. He’s one of the toughest kids I’ve ever coached.”
The stop on the 2-point try was one of many big plays by the Airport defense.
“We made some mistakes, but we played hard on defense all night,” said Duffy, praising the work of linebackers Shade Daniels and Zakary VanBuskirk, a sophomore who was playing his first varsity game.
Flat Rock opened the scoring with a 29-yard touchdown pass from Graham Junge to Corey Lannon. Airport tied it before the end of the opening quarter on a 5-yard run by Kyle Harvell.
A key sequence happened midway through the second period as Airport’s defense stopped Flat Rock on downs to get the ball back on its own 8-yard line.
On the Jets’ first play after the stop, Jack Mills found a hole on the left side and sprinted 92 yards for a score.
Airport made it 21-7 at the half when Colin Nowak mad a nice over-the-shoulder catch on a pass from Cooper Nye for a 10-yard TD.
The score didn’t change until Booms scored from 5 yards out in the fourth quarter, setting up the dramatics at the end.
Mills rushed for 183 yards for Airport and Junge completed 26-of-37 passes for 253 yards for Flat Rock.
Airport is off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2017.
Booms made 12 tackles for Flat Rock and Andrew Given added 8 as the Rams dipped to 1-1.
“This is a tough group,” Reaume said. “They never quit. They keep fighting. This is a great group. I told the guys that we would know a lot about our team after this game. I am very proud of where we are at.”

Final drive gives New Boston Huron first win over Milan in five years
NEW BOSTON − When the game is on the line, New Boston Huron's Gavin Moczydlowski trusts his coaches to execute a winning plan.
"We believe in them," Moczydlowski said. "We believe we can go down the field and score."
That trust goes both ways.
Huron's coaches believe in Moczydlowski, too.
The senior quarterback tucked and ran the ball on five straight plays and scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:15 remaining to deliver a 13-12 victory against Milan Thursday night.
It was Huron's first victory over Milan since 2017. The Big Reds had won five straight contests until Thursday.
Moczydlowski's humility was nearly as sharp as his running ability on the winning drive.
"We just did what was working," Moczydlowski said. "It was my linemen really. They did their job and we got down the field and scored."
PHOTO GALLERY: New Boston Huron football hosts Milan
Huron's final drive had a feeling of fate.
Milan threatened to add to its 12-7 lead with under 5 minutes to go when the tides turned against the Big Reds.
Huron's Marco Tylutki intercepted as pass at the 25-yard line and returned it back to midfield. A flag for a late hit added even more yards and Huron started the drive at Milan's 33.
Moczydlowski ran for 10 yards.
Moczydlowski ran for 9 yards.
Moczydlowski ran for 8 yards.
Moczydlowski ran for 3 yards.
Moczydlowski ran for 3 yards and a touchdown.
"He's a very good runner," Huron coach Tom Hoover said. "They (Milan) were overcompensating to some of our formations. We weren't getting anything off tackle earlier running with different backfield sets, so we changed the formation and isolated them one-on-one on the back side and he delivered. They missed him.
"He put his head down and made some great runs. He has it in him. He deceptively tough to tackle."
Huron's defense was given the task of sealing the victory.
Hoover never doubted the outcome.
"Our defense is what kept us in the game," he said. "That's the strength of our team right now."
Milan made one big play on the drive, but Huron's defenders made many more.
Rory Callahan had a big tackle for loss, Tylutki, Ryan Anderson and Sammy Farrufia had pass breakups, and Micah Smith picked off the final pass after great pressure from lineman Joshua Buettner.
"We tried to get it in the end zone and not leave them any time, but when you're trying to get out of here alive, you just want to get it in the end zone even if you leave time," Hoover said. "We gave up some turnovers early, but we got some of them late, so it balanced out I guess."
Moczydlowski finished the game with 17 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown. He also was 4-for-10 passing for 136 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Ethan Woolery had 2 receptions for 51 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown catch on Huron's opening drive in the first quarter.
That drive set the tone, Woolery said.
"Coming off a loss (in Week 1), we had to be ready to come out and execute," he said. "That was our momentum. That was it. Everything we did from that point on, we just wanted to go, go, go. It all came back to that touchdown."
Huron lost its season opener 28-7 to Milford last week. So, it was vital that the team bounced back with a victory.
"It was very important because if you go to 0-2 and then you go into Riverview, things can start getting slippery," Hoover said. "It was important to get our confidence back. We overcame a lot of adversity this week, so I'm proud of the kids. They didn't get down."
Milan moved in the opposite direction.
The Big Reds were coming off a 47-0 victory in Week 1 against Berkley, but their offense could not find the same stride against Huron.
"They were really tough defensively in the first half," Milan coach Jesse Hoskins said. "They gave our run game trouble."
William Gaskell V led Milan's rushing attack with 53 yards on 10 carries. Brady Bovenkerk added 6 carries for 25 yards and Ronnie Johnson had 10 carries for 18 yards.
The Big Reds found more success through the air.
Bovenkerk was 13-for-26 passing for 136 yards. He had two touchdown passes to Connor Dessellier in the second half. Dessellier finished with 7 catches for 45 yards, Carson Baugher had 3 receptions for 46 yards, and Johnson added 45 yards on 3 catches.
Milan missed the PAT on the first touchdown and failed to covert for 2 points on the second.
"Missing the extra point proved to be costly," Hoskins said. "It wasn't overall a very clean attempt on our part."
Defensively, Hoskins said the Big Red defense did everything it could to give the team a chance at victory.
"Our defense allowed a touchdown early but after that we weathered the storm and played really solid defense," Hoskins said. "It was a defensive battle for the majority of the first half. Then second half, we captured the momentum and we scored twice."
Hoskins said the team is still on the right track.
"We're in a great place," he said. "The kids had a great week of practice. We were very prepared and felt great about the game. The kids played very tough. ... We obviously made some mistakes, but I don't question our preparation or our kids' toughness. Usually in situations like the fourth quarter, that stuff goes our way. Tonight it just didn't."

Football Roundup: Dundee, Carlson roll to impressive victories in Week 2
DUNDEE – Dundee football coach Steve Ayre called last year’s loss to Livonia Clarenceville a “Murphy’s Law game.”
Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
He was feeling a little déjà vu Thursday night.
“On Livonia’s first play, they threw a ball that our defensive back tipped, but it went over his head to a kid who grabbed it and ran for a touchdown,” Ayre said. “This game started the same way as last year, but it didn’t have the same effect.”
The Vikings, in their second season under Ayre, were better equipped to deal with adversity this time.
They responded with a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter to take the lead and never looked back in a 36-20 victory.
“Our leadership made sure we did not lay an egg,” Ayre said. “Last year’s team had three head coaches in three years. Now we have more consistency. The defense is starting to click and on offense we’ve learned to stay on schedule.”
Ryan Zanger and Colton Bordine each ran for two Dundee touchdowns. Braiden Whitaker returned a kickoff for a score and kicked a field goal.
Sophomore Quinton Lephew led the defense with 12 tackles, Cooper Buhl, Evan Imo and Ethan Layton added 7 each.
Ida is off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2018.
“We still got a lot to learn, but the kids are obviously very excited and the community is very excited,” Ayre said.

Gibraltar Carlson 42, Dearborn Edsel Ford 12
GIBRALTAR –
Jackson Zachary picked off a pass and ran it 54 yards for a score.
Timmy Simons forced a fumble and recovered it himself.
Those were two of the big plays for Gibraltar Carlson Thursday night as it improved to 2-0.

The offense also did very well.
Omari Carter and freshman Izaiah Wright both had a pair of TD runs and Simons caught a touchdown pass from Eddie Light.
“it was a good night for us,” Gendron said. “We came out on both sides of the ball playing well. We were pretty balanced on offense with run and pass.”
Simons finished with 10 tackles, including 2 sacks, while Ben Przytula was credited with a trio of sacks among his 7 tackles. Noah Derwick also intercepted a pass and Bradley Kaiser recovered a fumble.

Riverview 43, Jefferson 0
RIVERVIEW – Riverview led 23-0 at halftime despite Jefferson's offense being on the field for nearly 30 minutes of the first half.
“We had the ball, we just stalled out a few times,” said Bears coach Eric Tipton. “We definitely knew going in, we talked about how we had to come out and execute everything.

Whiteford's juggled offensive line come through in win over Ida
IDA – When Ida pulled within six points of the Whiteford Thursday night, Bobcat coach Todd Thieken had some quick adjustments to make.
With a couple offensive line starters out due to injury, Whiteford shifted two-year starting center Kyle Gray to tackle and inserted back-up center Trent Olrich into the game.
The result was a seven-play, 65-yard scoring drive to put the game out of reach and send the Bobcats home to Ottawa Lake with a 2-0 record.
“We’ve kind of battled through the last two weeks with some different injuries,” Thieken said. “When the game was close tonight, a one-score game, we had to shift three kids into different spots. They made some nice plays. I have to give it up to them tonight.”
Mason McGlaughlin was the third lineman into a different spot. He was in the lineup for Owen Knaggs, who was projected to be a starting tackle but has been slowed by an ankle sprain.

“They faced adversity, and they didn’t fold,” Thieken said. “They just kept playing. I hope that does big things for us.”
The glue that held the Bobcats together was four-year starting quarterback Shea Ruddy, who finished with 130 yards and a touchdown through the air and 74 yards rushing on 14 carries and both of Whiteford’s second-half touchdowns.
Two plays stood out for Ruddy.
Whiteford led 16-6 at halftime and gave up a 59-yard touchdown run by Jaeden Gianino with 7:46 left in the third quarter to cut it to 16-12.
A 25-yard kickoff return by Stepan Masserant gave the Bobcats the ball at their own 39. Ruddy directed a 13-play drive and got into the end zone with 2:16 left in the quarter. During the drive he scrambled for 14-yards on a third-and-7, then on probably the biggest play of the game scrambled for 13 yards on a fourth-and-8 at the Ida 18. Two plays later he was in the end zone.
“It was a pass play,” Ruddy said of the fourth down. “Whenever we roll out like that, I kind am thinking about the backside. I saw all my receivers were covered. I knew I had to do something. I looked to my left and there was wide-open field.”
Ruddy came back across the field and made two moves and picked up 13 yards to get the Bobcats in scoring position.
“Their quarterback is a really nice athlete,” said Ida head coach Jeff Potter. “He made some nice plays with his feet and made some nice throws in key situations.”
Ida scored again in the fourth quarter on a Luke Levicki touchdown run on a fourth-down play to cut the score to 24-18 with 6:19 left.
It was on that drive that Olrich, Gray and McGlaughlin stepped up for the Bobcats. After losing a yard on first down, Ruddy dropped back to pass and hit Kolby Masserant on a 26-yard pass play down the sideline. He put the ball where only Masserant could catch it.
“I knew I could complete but as soon as I let go of it I thought it was way over his head,” Ruddy said. “He made a nice play on it.”
Ruddy finished that drive with a one-yard touchdown with 3:26 left to put the game out of reach.
Drew Knaggs recovered a fumble on Ida’s next drive, sealing the win.
Jack Iott matched Ruddy's team-high rushing total and Brandon Knaggs filled in at fullback and did a solid job with 49 yards on 6 carries.
Thieken was pleased with the win despite some mistakes. The Bobcats turned the ball over three times in the first half.
“I hope that they realize what took place tonight,” Thieken said. “We had three turnovers in the first half. You don’t normally have three turnovers and win. We overcame a lot tonight. I was proud of them. Ida is a good football team.”
The Blue Streaks are 0-2 but have been competitive with a couple of good teams. Coach Jeff Potter said Ida has to shrug it off and get ready for Lenawee County Athletic Association play.
“I think we came out a little flat in the first half,” Potter said. “We built some momentum in the second half, but it was not enough to get over the hump.”
Gianino rushed for 134 yards on 15 carries and caught a 32-yard touchdown from Nathan Miller. Levicki had 43 yards rushing and Miller completed both of his passes for 62 yards. Zach Lindsay recovered two fumbles and Tyler Konieczny had an interception.
“We just didn’t make enough plays. It’s been the story for two straight weeks. We have played two good football teams. We have to convince ourselves we can compete with any team we play with on any Friday night.”

WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Labor Day weekend is here, and many people will be hitting the road to celebrate the unofficial end of the summer.

Baldwin County partners with Windstream to expand broadband services
Baldwin County residents will now be able to have more access to high speed internet thanks to Windstream's expansion of broadband service.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Baldwin County residents will now be able to have more access to high speed internet thanks to Windstream’s expansion of broadband service.
For residenst of Lake Laurel in Baldwin County, getting connected to the internet for work or for school has been a challenge. However, thanks to the partnership between Windstream and Baldwin County, residents like Evangeline Woods will be able to have access.
“I’ve seen families sit outside of Starbucks, outside of McDonalds, and that’s no way for a kid to learn,” Woods said. “I think it’s a way for people to be in touch. Everything is on the internet now. Everything is.”
The county held a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday at the Country Food Mart on Lake Laurel Road to announce the expansion of Windstream’s state-funded broadband services.
The state awarded Baldwin County an $842,000 dollar grant to expand broadband in underserved areas of the county.
State Representative Rick Williams says the expansion will give rural residents resources they need to stay connected.
“So what this does now is it gets it out to where it’s available to everyone, whether it’s telemedicine that’s coming along so great now, children’s homework that they’re able to do at home and not disrupt family lives,” Williams said.
Georgia State President of Field Operations for Windstream, Michael Foore, says this will not only change internet access for Baldwin County, but also other rural areas in the state.
“It’s a game changer for so many,” Foore said. “It’s a game changer for the economies, for the communities as well, because people who want to move to this community and start businesses but work from home in a beautiful area like this ,they can do that.”
Foore says this is a continuation of Windstream’s efforts to give rural residents more access to high speed internet. | https://www.41nbc.com/baldwin-county-partners-with-windstream-to-expand-broadband-services/ | 2022-09-02T07:00:26Z | nbc.com | treatment | https://www.41nbc.com/baldwin-county-partners-with-windstream-to-expand-broadband-services/ | 0 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | 1 |

The End Zone Game of the Week Preview: Northside vs. Warner Robins, Pt. 3
The End Zone Game of the Week is scheduled for Friday, September 2, at 7:30 p.m. at McConnell Talbert Stadium.
WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — One of the most electric rivalries in Georgia is our End Zone Game of the Week.
The Northside Eagles are set to face the Warner Robins Demons in one of the most heated rivalries in Middle Georgia.
The Eagles are 1-1 on the season, with a loss at Jones County in week one, but dominated Peach County in week two.
“Felt like the first two games were two separate teams. Game one, we didn’t play with much effort, and we had to get that corrected. I thought we played really good at Peach with a lot of effort,” said Eagles head coach Chad Alligood.
The Demons are coming off of back-to-back 5A state titles but fell in a rare week one loss to 6A’s number two ranked team Lee County, and since have had a bye week.
“I don’t like having a bye after the first week. I mean, nobody likes it, you know. Nobody’s really injured. Get ready to get back out there and play,” said Demons head coach Marquis Westbrook.
The Demons have dominated this rivalry recently, winning all of the past five meetings and outscoring the Eagles 135 to 7 since 2019. But the way this rivalry goes, old records are irrelevant.
“You can throw the records, the past records, all out each year in this game. You’re going to get the best shot of both teams, and you know that’s what this game is all about,” said Alligood.

The End Zone Game of the Week Preview: Northside vs. Warner Robins, Pt. 3
The End Zone Game of the Week is scheduled for Friday, September 2, at 7:30 p.m. at McConnell Talbert Stadium.
WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — One of the most electric rivalries in Georgia is our End Zone Game of the Week.
The Northside Eagles are set to face the Warner Robins Demons in one of the most heated rivalries in Middle Georgia.
The Eagles are 1-1 on the season, with a loss at Jones County in week one, but dominated Peach County in week two.
“Felt like the first two games were two separate teams. Game one, we didn’t play with much effort, and we had to get that corrected. I thought we played really good at Peach with a lot of effort,” said Eagles head coach Chad Alligood.
The Demons are coming off of back-to-back 5A state titles but fell in a rare week one loss to 6A’s number two ranked team Lee County, and since have had a bye week.
“I don’t like having a bye after the first week. I mean, nobody likes it, you know. Nobody’s really injured. Get ready to get back out there and play,” said Demons head coach Marquis Westbrook.
The Demons have dominated this rivalry recently, winning all of the past five meetings and outscoring the Eagles 135 to 7 since 2019. But the way this rivalry goes, old records are irrelevant.
“You can throw the records, the past records, all out each year in this game. You’re going to get the best shot of both teams, and you know that’s what this game is all about,” said Alligood.
This rivalry bout perfectly sums up what Friday Football is truly meant to be.
“The atmosphere’s electric. There are high school players all over the state that would love to play in this game. It means so much to the entire city, and you’ll witness that Friday night. And there will be people the only game they come to a year this one,” said Alligood.

The much anticipated film 'Gold' directed by hit filmmaker Alphonse Puthren will not hit theatres this Onam. The director himself took to Facebook to share the news. “Due to work delay on our side 'Gold' will be releasing one week after Onam. Please forgive us for the delay cuased. Hoping to compensate the delay through our work when 'Gold' releases,” he wrote.
The movie was supposed to hit theatres on September 8. There is a lot of anticipation around the film which marks Alphonse Puthren's return as a director after seven years. His previous film 'Premam' starring Nivin Pauly which released in 2015 was a super hit. Prithviraj and Nayanthara play the lead characters in the film.
Despite the star cast, the makers have not released any teaser or song as part of the film's promotion. Now, that the film will be delayed, fans have sought the makers to release at least one song from the film. “We are willing to wait for another week for Alphonse's film because we know he will deliver magic. However, please release at least one song during Onam,” one user wrote. | https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/2022/09/02/alphonse-puthren-gold-prithviraj-productions-nayanthara-movie-release.html | 2022-09-02T07:01:54Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/2022/09/02/alphonse-puthren-gold-prithviraj-productions-nayanthara-movie-release.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Arcade Fire: Feist quits Arcade Fire tour ahead of Glasgow gig following Win Butler sexual misconduct claims
Canadian musician Feist has walked away from her support slot on Arcade Fire's world tour, which comes to Scotland next week, following allegations of sexual misconduct against the band’s frontman Win Butler.
The singer-songwriter, who was due to open for the band at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Monday (September 5), said had been “incredibly difficult” and that she had chosen to “distance myself from this tour (but) not this conversation”.
It comes after four people accused Butler of behaving inappropriately, with allegations including forceful touching and unwanted, sexual text messages.
The allegations, which Butler denies, which were first reported by US music publication Pitchfork on Saturday.
Most Popular
In two statements to Pitchfork, Butler denied the allegations and said the sexual interactions he had had with the four had been consensual.
Arcade Fire recently began a major European tour, with Feist having supported them on the first two dates in Dublin, Ireland, on August 30 and 31.
But in a lengthy post on social media, Feist – whose full name is Leslie Feist and is known mononymously as Feist-, explained that she was “claiming my responsibility now and going home”.
“At a pub in Dublin, after rehearsing with my band, I read the same headline you did,” the post read.
“We didn’t have any time to prepare for what was coming, let alone a chance to decide not to fly across the ocean into the belly of this situation.
“This has been incredibly difficult for me and I can only imagine how much more difficult it’s been for the people who came forward. More than anything I wish healing to those involved.”
Feist said that the situation had ignited a conversation that is “bigger than me” or her songs and “certainly bigger than any rock and roll tour”.
“To stay on tour would symbolise I was either defending or ignoring the harm caused by Win Butler and to leave would imply I was the judge and jury.”
She continued: “The last two nights on stage, my songs made this decision for me.
“I’ve always written songs to name my own subtle difficulties, aspire to my best self and claim responsibility when I need to.
“And I’m claiming my responsibility now and going home.”
Arcade Fire has been contacted for comment.

Vehicle stickers no longer required in Palatine beginning in November
PALATINE, Ill. - Palatine's village council is getting rid of their vehicle sticker requirement.
The move will save households an average of $75 a year.
The sticker program generated over one-million dollars for the city, but was very expensive to administer.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Second Harvest hosted its Mobile Market at Eastgate Elementary School on September 1, offering free food to those who drove up. About 25 volunteers with the Hill Spring Church assisted with the handout.
Canned goods, watermelons, apples and more were handed out with the goal of feeding 250 local families. One volunteer told NBC Right Now that the Mobile Market always yields a great turnout. Within 30 minutes, around 100 cars had driven by.
"This is probably close to our thirtieth one that we've done since the pandemic started and we don't see ourselves stopping any time soon," said April Bergez, worship leader at Hill Spring Church. "But energy's up, more people are volunteering all the time."
Bergez said there's still a need for more Mobile Market events, plus a need for more volunteers. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/second-harvest-hosts-mobile-market-with-volunteers-from-hill-spring-church/article_a3d9dee2-2a84-11ed-81e7-93906ff3fdb5.html | 2022-09-02T07:22:34Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/second-harvest-hosts-mobile-market-with-volunteers-from-hill-spring-church/article_a3d9dee2-2a84-11ed-81e7-93906ff3fdb5.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

YAKIMA, Wash. -- The cancer-causing chemicals that have been found in water, now can be found in firefighter gear. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or 'forever chemicals' help protect firefighters from heat and moisture because PFAS are almost impossible to break down.
"It's kind of a catchphrase that's out there is that 'your gear's going to kill you,' this is still very much under research though," said East Valley Fire Department Chief Dale Hille.
Jason Wood has been volunteering with the West Valley Fire Department for six years. He said he won't let these chemicals stop him from doing what he loves.
"Volunteering is a conscious decision on my part to help my community regardless of what else happens," said Wood.
The East and West Valley Fire Department firefighters spray down and decontaminate their gear then take it off and shower as soon as possible.
"We have a lot of support from our administration and our chiefs, we're given whatever we need to keep ourselves safe," said Wood. "It gives us a lot of confidence to keep doing what we do."
Firefighters are nine percent more likely to get cancer than others, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
"I have several firefighter friends that have died from cancer or are right now battling cancer," said Chief Hille. "We have quite a few new people and being an old guy, I'd like to see them grow up to be old guys too."
But firefighters can't do their job without their gear. Right now, there's just no other option than to take yourself out of the job, said Wood.
"If somebody was that concerned about [their health] then I'd feel bad if they had to leave because I don't have another alternative for them," said the West Valley Fire Department Chief Nathan Craig.
Many agencies are looking into making firefighting gear without these harmful chemicals; it's just a matter of when and at what cost, said Chief Craig.
Chief Craig and Chief Hille said they haven't had any firefighters come to them concerned about their health because of PFAS chemicals. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/yakima/a-volunteer-firefighter-said-he-accepted-any-health-risks-despite-gear-concerns-if-it-means/article_fb24b36a-2a85-11ed-8e0d-1398665c5913.html | 2022-09-02T07:22:46Z | nbcrightnow.com | control | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/yakima/a-volunteer-firefighter-said-he-accepted-any-health-risks-despite-gear-concerns-if-it-means/article_fb24b36a-2a85-11ed-8e0d-1398665c5913.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
What is a pentatonic scale?
Find out how a pentatonic scale differs to a heptatonic scale.
What is a pentatonic scale?
The simple way of describing a pentatonic scale is as a music scale that contains five notes. Many musicians initially learn seven-note heptatonic scales when they first pick up a new instrument, and pentatonic scales are based on these, but they omit the fourth and seventh notes in the major scales and the second and sixth in the minor scales.
Some examples of a pentatonic scale?
The heptatonic scale of C Major is C, D, E, F, G, A, B.
The pentatonic scale of C Major is C, D, E, G, A.
When playing the piano, if you play the pentatonic scales of G♭ Major or E♭ Minor, you’ll find yourself only playing the five black keys.
Why do pentatonic scales sound good?
The notes omitted from the pentatonic scales are those that are less ‘stable’ within the equivalent heptatonic scale – i.e., the notes that are most likely to cause dissonance (a clashing sound) when played in that particular key. Therefore, improvising melodies and harmonies that centre around pentatonic scales are pretty much guaranteed to sound good, as the likelihood of dissonance has been removed. | https://www.classical-music.com/features/musical-terms/what-is-a-pentatonic-scale/ | 2022-09-02T07:25:10Z | classical-music.com | control | https://www.classical-music.com/features/musical-terms/what-is-a-pentatonic-scale/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Porgy and Bess: a guide to Gershwin's popular opera and its best recordings
Terry Blain explains how the popular American songwriter came to compose his country’s first great opera, Porgy and Bess, and finds the best recordings
The year was 1926, and it had been a busy day for George Gershwin. His new musical comedy Oh, Kay! was in rehearsal, and when the composer went to bed that evening he reached for some light reading material to lull himself to sleep. Instead he picked up Porgy, a recently published novel by the American writer DuBose Heyward.
Heyward’s wife Dorothy reported that, far from dozing off swiftly, Gershwin ‘read himself wide awake’ that night, gripped by her husband’s dark, gritty tale of African American life in the tenements of Charleston, South Carolina. By four in the morning, Gershwin knew the story was ideal for an opera, and dashed off a letter to Heyward suggesting a meeting.
Little came of that initial contact. For one thing, the Heywards were already adapting Porgy as a play, for production on Broadway a year later. And Gershwin himself was wary of an immediate collaboration. ‘He said it would be a couple of years before he would be prepared technically to compose an opera,’ DuBose Heyward recalled later.
When did Gershwin compose Porgy and Bess?
In fact, it would be a full seven years before Gershwin and Heyward finally turned their attention to making an opera out of Porgy when, in October 1933, the pair signed a contract with the Theatre Guild of New York to write the piece, and Heyward started fashioning a libretto from his novel.
By any standards, the subject-matter of the new opera was controversial. Murder, race issues, domestic violence, prostitution and substance abuse all feature in Porgy and Bess. Additionally, Gershwin insisted on an all-black cast, a stipulation much more radical for the white-dominated world of 1930s opera than it would be today.
What is Porgy and Bess about?
Yet Gershwin had a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve in presenting Heyward’s story of a crippled beggar who finds temporary solace with Bess, a marginalised woman struggling to free herself from her controlling lover, Crown, and drug dependency. By writing what he called a ‘folk opera’, Gershwin intended to ‘appeal to the many rather than to the cultured few’ and to put on stage the ‘100 per cent dramatic intensity in addition to humour’ that he found in Heyward’s novel.
To that end, Gershwin made a five-week trip to Folly Island near Charleston, living in a beachside shack and mixing with the native Gullah people. Intent on soaking up their way of life, he attended prayer meetings, listened to spirituals and studied local customs. Much of what he saw and heard eventually found its way into Porgy and Bess. If some might nowadays call this cultural appropriation, to DuBose Heyward it looked different. ‘To George it was more like a homecoming than an exploration,’ he wrote.
When and where was Porgy and Bess first performed?
By September 1935, the three-act opera was complete. After a private run-through at Carnegie Hall, New York, the public premiere happened on 30 September at the Colonial Theatre in Boston, four days after Gershwin’s 37th birthday. It was immediately obvious that Porgy and Bess was by far the most ambitious work he had yet created, packed with wonderful, jazz-inflected harmonies and powerful choral writing. But it was also very long – three hours-plus, not counting two intervals.
Forty minutes’ worth of cuts were made for the New York premiere, at the Alvin Theatre on Broadway, on 10 October. As in Boston, audiences loved Porgy and applauded enthusiastically. But the critical reaction was mixed. ‘Gershwin does not even know what an opera is,’ sneered the influential Virgil Thomson. One of the most famous jazz bandleader Duke Ellington complained of ‘Gershwin’s lampblack Negroisms’ and his borrowings ‘from everyone from Liszt to Dickie Wells’s kazoo band’.
Other critics were more positive, one recognising that Gershwin’s score for Porgy had an ‘amazing fluency’, another praising Rouben Mamoulian’s stage direction as ‘extraordinary in its invention’. But the negative reactions were enough to keep ticket sales below break-even point for the production, and it closed after 124 performances – extraordinary for an opera, but modest by the commercial standards of Broadway theatre.
Gershwin never saw Porgy and Bess on stage again – 18 months after its Broadway closure, he died of a brain tumour. But the virtues of his ‘folk opera’, not least its unforgettable songs (some with lyrics by Gershwin’s brother Ira), gradually began winning detractors over. ‘Summertime’, ‘I got plenty o’ nuttin’’, ‘It ain’t necessarily so’ and others became popular hits, and remain staples of the Great American Songbook. And though controversy remains about the opera’s depiction of black characters by a white composer and librettist – ‘a white man’s vision of Negro life’, writer James Baldwin called it – Porgy and Bess has long since entered the operatic canon as a classic. ‘These characters,’ as Stephen Sondheim once put it, ‘are as vivid as any ever created for the musical theatre.’
The best recordings of Porgy and Bess
Lorin Maazel (conductor)
Willard White (Porgy), Leona Mitchell (Bess); Cleveland Chorus & Orchestra
Decca 478 5785
‘Porgy is great, great grand opera’, Lorin Maazel once commented. His 1975 recording was the first ever of Gershwin’s complete score, a full four decades after the work’s premiere. It remains Maazel’s finest achievement on record, and a stirring testimony to the impact Porgy can make when taken seriously as visceral drama.
It was also the Cleveland Orchestra’s first opera recording, and its presence is tinglingly palpable throughout. The percussion in Act I’s introduction, paced perfectly by Maazel, sizzles with intent, and the brass fanfares slice like lasers through Act II’s ‘Oh, I can’t sit down’. No orchestra on record plays this music better.
Leona Mitchell’s Bess is another major asset. Fiery and vulnerable in her Kittiwah Island confrontation with the bullying Crown (the excellent McHenry Boatwright), Mitchell achieves the tricky combination of warm expressiveness and wrenching honesty in the pivotal ‘I loves you, Porgy’. As Porgy, bass-baritone Willard White is oak-solid, rising to a peak of dramatic involvement in the opera’s finale, where he and his goat cart set their sights on seeking Bess in New York City.
Below principal level, the cast has no weak links and many strengths. Among these, tenor François Clemmons’s drug-dealing Sportin’ Life stands out. ‘It ain’t necessarily so’ is vividly characterised without resort to caricature and ‘There’s a boat dat’s leavin’ soon’ is so winningly sung that Bess’s capitulation is easier to understand than usual.
A youthful Barbara Hendricks, just 26 at the time, is Clara in a fresh-voiced, sensual account of ‘Summertime’, and the Cleveland Chorus also excels itself, despite occasional self-consciousness over the vernacular pronunciation of Catfish Row’s residents. Its mournful chants of ‘Gone, gone gone’ in the wake of Robbins’s murder are among the performance’s most affecting moments.
At the heart of everything is Maazel himself, his rhythms incisively idiomatic, his sense of dramatic pacing infallible. His gift of balancing large forces clearly is significantly enhanced by Decca’s excellent recording, which has a classic analogue richness.
Around the time this set was released in 1976, one critic spoke of Porgy as ‘not just a great American opera’ but ‘the single great American opera’. More than any other version available, Maazel’s recording seems to justify that verdict.
John DeMain (conductor)
RCA 88697985112
‘The whole truth at last’ was one reviewer’s verdict when Houston Grand Opera’s epochal production of Porgy and Bess hit the stage in 1976. It was the first time the opera had been staged absolutely complete, and this cast recording crackles with theatrical energy. Donnie Ray Albert and Clamma Dale are excellent in the title roles, and conductor John DeMain’s swashbuckling players sound more like a Broadway pit band than a symphony orchestra. Slightly dry, occasionally harsh sound puts this just behind Maazel in the ratings.
Simon Rattle (conductor)
Warner Classics 9029590064
Simon Rattle’s Porgy derives from Glyndebourne’s classic 1986 production and has been widely lauded. Compared to Maazel, however, Rattle’s tempos are more extreme, at times over-excitable. Act I, for instance, scoots off at Keystone Cops velocity, sounding scrambled. Slow music is occasionally over-milked too, the great ‘Bess, you is my woman now’ sounding alarmingly like Puccini. But there’s no doubting the sparks that Rattle strikes, with a solid cast that includes Willard White and Cynthia Haymon in the title roles and an excellent chorus.
Alexander Smallens (conductor)
Naxos 8110219-20
Ever wondered what the original Porgy and Bess sounded like? This priceless Naxos reissue includes the eight tracks recorded by role creators Todd Duncan and Anne Brown for Decca in 1940, plus other historic Porgy performances. Both Brown and Duncan sing with a remarkable tenderness and dignity hard to find today, and Alexander Smallens (who conducted the premiere) accompanies with easeful flexibility. This is a highlights package, but any Gershwin lover will want it in their library.
And one to avoid…
This boisterous 2006 Porgy is fine as far as it goes, but it doesn’t go far enough. Conductor John Mauceri’s aim was to reconstruct the version of Gershwin’s opera heard by its original Broadway audiences, and record only that. At least 40 minutes of cuts are the consequence, including most of the ‘Jazzbo Brown’ piano music and Porgy’s wonderful ‘Buzzard Song’. Historically interesting, perhaps, but

Growing up on the outskirts of the Charlotte area, I’ve seen the city transform from a strictly-banking epicenter to a relocation magnet. With people drawn to its Southern charm and cost-of-living affordability that beat out the big cities, Charlotte has rapidly grown to accommodate an entrepreneurial and energetic population. That momentum has nowhere near stopped—every time I come back, friends give me suggestions on places to eat, play, and discover. While some longtime favorites are no longer with us (R.I.P. Price’s Chicken Coop), there are plenty of new happenings contributing to the Queen City’s vibrancy.
Here’s everything you need to know about your next visit to Charlotte.
Staying in Charlotte
JW Marriott Charlotte
Book Now: JW Marriott Charlotte
When the JW Marriott opened its first North Carolina outpost in August 2021, the 381-room luxury hotel stood out in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. Its prime location put it within walking distance of the Bank of America Stadium, the Charlotte Convention Center, and Charlotte’s Museum Row. Additionally, amenities—from a wellness spa (which include six private treatment suites and a couples’ treatment room) to a rooftop pool with private cabanas—gave Charlotte a grand introduction to the JW Marriott brand.
The brand released an VIP luxury experience in August this year to celebrate its first anniversary, including lodging in a presidential suite, a spa experience for two, and private limo service among other perks—all for the price of $8,000 per night.
Eating and Drinking in Charlotte
Optimist Hall
This food hall is just one of many renovated mills that have been given new life as a part of Charlotte’s urban landscape. Since 2019, the spot has spotlighted restaurants that include Indian-focused Botiwalla by Meherwan Irani (his Asheville concept, Chai Pani, was announced as the Most Outstanding Restaurant earlier this year by the James Beard foundation) and Billy Sunday, a Chicago-based cocktail bar.
It’s found quite a home among digital nomads, Uptown employees on lunch breaks and friends meeting. It’s become so popular, in fact, that it implemented a paid parking system in early August to keep parking efficient. But with the constant new additions, including an outpost of local Ethiopian restaurant Enat in May, it doesn’t seem like the crowds will simmer down any time soon.
Midnight Diner
Since 2009, this diner has been a staple for Charlotteans craving comfort food in the wee hours of the night. The late night hours aren’t the only thing drawing people in, though; menu stars like the shrimp and grits and fried chicken and waffles remind you that the Southern options here are next level. The (almost) 24/7 staple won’t be at its 115 East Carson Street location for much longer, due to a $750 million development project taking its place. But fear not: the diner is moving a mile away out to East Trade Street and is expected to re-open in the fall.
Southern Strain
Asheville is a well-known North Carolina favorite for hoppy drinks, but Charlotte’s brewery scene has its fair share of excitement. Southern Strain is one of the city’s latest examples, expanding beyond its Concord location with an April opening in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood in Charlotte. Sit and sip on their signature Hop Helix IPA or indulge in a cherrymosa, their rendition on the brunch classic.
This addition is just one of many breweries arriving into Charlotte lately, with this past spring and summer seeing Asheville-based Bhramari Brewing Company and Burial Beer Co., as well as Charlotte-based Legion Brewing increase their footprints in the Queen City.
Amelie’s
Amelie’s French Bakery has been a mainstay in Charlotte since it opened in 2008 in Charlotte’s NoDa arts district. The local chain moved its flagship location to a bigger space in April, with three total found in Charlotte and one in Rock Hill. The new NoDa location is still very much decorated with European eclectic flair (down to a replica Eiffel tower base attached to the wall). If anything, it’s now easier to enjoy the macarons and salted caramel brownies thanks to the plentiful tables and parking spots at this new flagship spot.
Exploring Charlotte
Independent Picture House
When the beloved Manor Theatre closed in 2020, Charlotte was left without a solid place to watch independent and foreign films. But the film community rallied, raising more than $600,000 to open the Independent Picture House this past June. The film venue is housed in the same building as the Charlotte Art League, and is already coordinating with the organization for events like the Charlotte Film Festival.
Camp North End
The 76-acre property is another one of Charlotte’s renovated historic spaces that’s been transformed into a mish-mash of restaurants, retail stores, offices, and fitness venues—you name it. Take a self-guided tour of the art installations sprinkled throughout the campus and support local Charlotte retailers on a trip to this spot north of Uptown.
The campus has been gradually gaining tenants on its campus since 2017, like James Beard-nominated Chef Greg Collier’s Leah and Louise. Restaurants are especially in the spotlight as places like The Abyss speakeasy and B.A.D. donut shop are planning to open this year, so come hungry.
NASCAR Hall of Fame
Buy tickets: Adult tickets are $27; nascarhall.com/tickets
Charlotte-based sports teams like the Charlotte Hornets and Carolina Panthers give sports fans plenty to celebrate throughout the year. But come Memorial Day weekend, NASCAR fans flock to Charlotte Motor Speedway to cheer on their favorites for the annual Coca Cola 600 race. Charlotte is the headquarters of the NASCAR brand, so it’s no surprise NASCAR’s Hall of Fame is here too. Peruse the racing simulator and other museum mainstays or exhibits like Chevrolet: Winningest Brand in NASCAR, which debuted in July. | https://www.afar.com/magazine/why-you-should-visit-charlotte-north-carolina-now | 2022-09-02T07:30:53Z | afar.com | control | https://www.afar.com/magazine/why-you-should-visit-charlotte-north-carolina-now | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Alaafin: Interview for 86 contestants begins Monday
• As Olawoyin family files suit challenging rotation of Alaafin between Alowolodu, Agunloye ruling houses
Down from the 119 applications from various families, 86 princes all from the Agunloye ruling house of Oyo have been shortlisted for the vacant stool of the Alaafin of Oyo.
The shortlist of only princes of Agunloye ruling house is in apparent compliance with a letter written by Director, Administration and General Services, Atiba local government area, Mr Ayoola A. A. to the head of princes in Oyo town, High Chief Mukaila Afonja.
The letter, dated August 9, 2022, had conveyed the approval of the state government for the commencement of administrative processes to fill the vacant stool.
Citing the existing chief laws of Oyo State and the Alaafin chieftaincy declaration, the letter directed the head of princes in Oyo to liaise with the Agunloye ruling house whereby crown princes shall emerge and dispatch the names to the Oyo Mesi, via the Basorun of Oyo, to screen and prune down the number of candidates.
Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune, the head of Oyo princes, Afonja, affirmed that the names of the 86 princes, all from Agunloye family, had been forwarded to the Oyomesi for screening.
Afonja said this move was in alignment with the directive of the state government.
Afonja said the 86 princes will be continuously pruned down by the Oyomesi to a small number when the Ifa oracle will then be consulted to help in recommending the final choice for the Alaafin stool.

A statement by the director of media and publicity to the Alaafin of Oyo Bode Durojaiye said the screening of the shortlisted princes will begin on Monday.
The statement said the princes will be screened 10 per day and would run till the 15th of September.
Prior to the commencement of screening, next Monday, the shortlisted princes are scheduled to attend a peace meeting at the Agbala Ogun Hall, in the Palace, on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Olawoyin family of Oyo has filed a suit at the High Court of Oyo State seeking an interim injunction restraining the defendants: state government, state governor, attorney general, commissioner for local government, head of Oyo princes, Basorun of Oyo and Oyomesi from taking further action towards filling the vacant Alaafin stool.
In the suit with number HOY/22/2022, the Olawoyin Atiba family is seeking an order of the court restraining the defendants from selecting/approving/installing any candidates from the two male lines of Alowolodu and Agunloye.
The Olawoyin Atiba family is arguing that Alaafin had alternated between the Alowolodu and Agunloye families to the exclusion of other male children of Alaafin Abiodun Atiba. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/alaafin-interview-for-86-contestants-begins-monday/ | 2022-09-02T07:36:15Z | tribuneonlineng.com | control | https://tribuneonlineng.com/alaafin-interview-for-86-contestants-begins-monday/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Customs DG faults N6trn fuel subsidy
• As Reps differ on proposed N11trn fiscal deficit • Targets N2.873trn revenue in 2023
Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Hameed Alli, on Thursday faulted the over N6 trillion allegedly being paid as fuel subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in 2022 fiscal year by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited.
The NCS helmsman disclosed this while defending the NCS presentation on the 2023-2025 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Policy Paper (FSP), held at the instance of House Committee on Finance, chaired by Hon. Abiodun James Faleke.
He alleged that the 98 million litres of PMS daily consumption rate allegedly being brandished could not be substantiated scientifically, adding that over 38 million litres of PMS released daily in excess of actual consumption into the Nigerian market finds its way out of the country.
While responding to question on the N11 trillion proposed fiscal deficit in the 2023 budget proposal as captured in the 2023-2025 MTEF/FSP, Colonel Alli said: “I remember that last year we spoke about this, unfortunately, this year, we are talking about subsidy again.
“The over N11 trillion we are going to take as debt, more than half of it is going for subsidy. The issue is not about smuggling of petroleum products. I have always argue this with NNPC.
“If we are consuming 60 million litres of PMS per day by their own computation, why would you allow the release of 98 million litres per day? If you know this is our consumption, why would you allow that release?
“Scientifically, you cannot tell me that if I fill my tank today, tomorrow, I will fill the same tank with the same quantity of fuel. If I am operating a fuel station today and I go to Minna depot, lift petrol and take it to Kaduna, I may get to Kaduna in the evening and offload that fuel.
“There is no way I would have sold off that petrol immediately to warrant another load.
ALSO READ FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNE
“So, how did you get to 60 million litres per day? That is my problem. The issue of smuggling, if you release 98 million litres in actual and 60 million litres is used, the balance should be 38 million litres.
“How many trucks will carry 38 million litres every day? Which road are they following and where are they carrying this thing to?”
In his intervention, Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Finance, Hon. Saidu Abdullahi, argued that the amount being expended on fuel subsidies which should be used for the provision of social infrastructure is being diverted into private pockets.
Hon. Abdullahi who presided over the session, affirmed that “as a government, we have not done well.”
He said that the N6 trillion allegedly spent on fuel subsidy does not exist.
He also observed that 500 trucks would be required to transport the amount of petrol purportedly being consumed daily.
The NCS helmsman also expressed optimism that the service will meet the revenue projection of N2.272 trillion for 2022, N2.873 trillion for 2023; N3.540 trillion for 2024 and N3.752 trillion for 2025 respectively.
The lawmakers who spoke during the engagement, queried the sums of N6.7 billion spent on legal matters out of N7.5 billion approved in the 2021 Appropriation Act, as well as the N9.2 billion proposed in the 2023 budget.
While responding, Colonel Alli explained that the service wrote the presidency for virement of N4 billion to cater for pending legal debts, adding that inadequate fund may cause the service to pay as much as N20 billion for a suit of N3 billion if the Service loses.
Meanwhile, the lawmakers tasked NCS Comptroller General on the need to ensure remittance of 80 percent of the Operating Surplus to government coffers as encapsulated in the Finance Act, adding that the NCS should propose amendment to the extant law with a view to address whatever concerns may arise. | https://tribuneonlineng.com/customs-dg-faults-n6trn-fuel-subsidy/ | 2022-09-02T07:36:16Z | tribuneonlineng.com | control | https://tribuneonlineng.com/customs-dg-faults-n6trn-fuel-subsidy/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Kannur: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Finance Minister KN Balagopal came in for severe criticism at the CPI Kannur district conference.
During the discussion on the political report, CPI leaders said Pinarayi 'ridiculed' Food and Civil Supplies Minister GR Anil when the latter criticised the government's decision to appoint IAS officer Sriram Venkitaraman as the General Manager of the Civil Supplies Corporation.
They said only CPI has the right to correct ministers from the party and not any constituent party in the Front.
The conference also blamed Finance Minister KN Balagopal, for the finance department's refusal to sanction funds to Farmers Welfare Fund Board. The meeting noted that the department raised several objections and was hesitant to allocate funds to departments handled by CPI ministers.
CPI leaders said the government's move to file an appeal against the High Court order to provide financial assistance to KSRTC to pay salaries was wrong.
The party, however, found the functioning of the agricultural department “not proper," saying that it was only doling out promises.
"It’s a shame to claim there are no groups within the party, and ignoring “rising sectionalism” will only make matters worse, it was pointed out.
"While it is being reiterated that the BJP and the Congress are the main rivals, one should not ignore the opponents within," the conference observed during the discussion. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/02/cpi-kannur-district-conference-criticism.html | 2022-09-02T07:40:42Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/09/02/cpi-kannur-district-conference-criticism.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Russia: President Vladimir Putin is to miss the funeral of the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, denying the man who failed to prevent the collapse of the Soviet empire the full state honours granted to Boris Yeltsin.
Gorbachev, idolised in the West for allowing eastern Europe to escape Soviet communist control but unloved at home for the chaos that his "perestroika" reforms unleashed, will be buried on Saturday after a public ceremony in Moscow's Hall of Columns.
The grand hall, within sight of the Kremlin, hosted the funerals of Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin and Leonid Brezhnev. Gorbachev will be given a military guard of honour - but his funeral will not be a state one.
State television on Thursday showed Putin solemnly placing red roses beside Gorbachev's coffin - left open as is traditional in Russia - in Moscow's Central Clinical Hospital, where he died on Tuesday aged 91.
Putin made a sign of the cross in Russian Orthodox fashion before briefly touching the edge of the coffin.
"Unfortunately, the president's work schedule will not allow him to do this on Sept. 3, so he decided to do it today," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
He said Gorbachev's ceremony would have "elements" of a state funeral, and that the state was helping to organise it.
Nevertheless, it will be a marked contrast to the funeral of Yeltsin, who was instrumental in sidelining Gorbachev as the Soviet Union fell apart and hand-picked Putin, a career KGB intelligence officer, as the man most suited to succeed him.
When Yeltsin died in 2007, Putin declared a national day of mourning and, alongside world leaders, attended a grand state funeral in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
Russia's intervention in Ukraine appears aimed at reversing at least in part the collapse of the Soviet Union that Gorbachev failed to prevent in 1991.
Gorbachev's decision to let the countries of the post-war Soviet communist bloc go their own way, and East and West Germany reunify, helped to trigger nationalist movements within the 15 Soviet republics that he was powerless to quell.
Five years after taking power in 2000, Putin called the breakup of the Soviet Union "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century".
It took Putin more than 15 hours after Gorbachev's death to publish a restrained message of condolence that said Gorbachev had a "huge impact on the course of world history" and "deeply understood that reforms were necessary" to tackle the problems of the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
Gorbachev's foundation said the funeral would begin at 12 noon (0900 GMT), not 10 am (0700 GMT) as previously announced. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/world/2022/09/02/putin-denies-gorbachev-state-funeral.html | 2022-09-02T07:41:18Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/world/2022/09/02/putin-denies-gorbachev-state-funeral.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
DETROIT (WXYZ) — Abortion access in Michigan now hangs in the balance and in the courts following that deadlock vote by the Board of Canvassers on Wednesday.
This isn’t the first or second consequential deadlocked vote by the board, you may remember back in May when five GOP candidates for Governor were left off the ballot.
That was after a vote by the Michigan Board of Canvassers. That decision was appealed. Now a similar path will determine whether Michigan voters get to vote on abortion rights; deadlocked.
The Board of Canvassers split on accepting the ballot petition to put abortion rights in Michigan in front of its voters.
It will now go to the courts. The issue: the petition signed by more than 700,000 voters had a formatting error. No space between words.
“You would not sign a mortgage that had this kind of mistake in it. You would not turn in a term paper with this kind of mistake in it,” said Republican board member Tony Daunt on Wednesday.
Daunt was one of two Republicans on the board who voted against the state’s elections director’s recommendation to allow the measure to go to voters. Once filed, the appeal will be in front of the Michigan Supreme Court where it has two options: uphold what the board did yesterday and keep abortion choice off the ballot, or overturn.
“If they order the board to put it on the ballot, the board will then have to meet after that order and pass the motion to put it on the ballot," said Attorney Mark Brewer.
Attorney Mark Brewer was involved with the challenge to fraudulent signatures submitted by GOP candidates that also deadlocked the board of canvassers. He sees the appeal to this vote, going differently, questioning the board’s reach.
“They have no authority over the wording or the spacing of the actual proposal. The only thing they have authority over is the form of the petition which they approved months ago,” said Brewer. “The words are all there. There are no typos. People can read it. It’s a matter of spacing and that’s the function of a printer frankly as to how much spacing is between the words. We actually have constitutional amendments that have typos in them.”
Separately - the sheer amount of signatures submitted may factor into the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision. “The courts are very sensitive to matters of democracy. Three-quarters of a million Michigan voters exercised their right and put this on the ballot, and their wishes should be honored.”
Brewer says historically - the board does vote unanimously on many issues - notably. Certifying elections like in 2020. Now the abortion question wasn’t the only deadlocked vote by the board yesterday. Another measure that, as of now, will not be on the ballot, is a promote the vote proposal. That appeal was filed just hours ago.
The voting access measure would allow 9 days of early, in-person voting, ballots from the military and people overseas to be counted if received by election day and voters could fill out one absentee ballot application for all elections.
Opponents said this would have changed too much of the Michigan constitution and allowed people convicted of murder, rape, or armed robbery to vote, including while in prison.
So, this, along with abortion choice being on the ballot will all come down to how the Michigan Supreme Court decides if they decide to take on both measures, as is widely expected by experts. and time is ticking for both decisions. There is a deadline of September 9th, 2022.
That is when ballot language needs to be finalized to get those ballots out to voters in time. | https://www.fox17online.com/michigan-board-of-canvassers-split-on-ballot-petition-putting-abortion-rights-in-front-of-voters-whats-next | 2022-09-02T07:42:18Z | fox17online.com | control | https://www.fox17online.com/michigan-board-of-canvassers-split-on-ballot-petition-putting-abortion-rights-in-front-of-voters-whats-next | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Hillsborough football continues winning ways in season opener
HILLSBOROUGH – The season couldn’t have started much better for Hillsborough High School’s football team.
The defending South Group 5 champions stopped East Brunswick on a three-and-out to open the season Thursday night, forced a short punt and went six plays to score a touchdown.
Hillsborough received contributions from a long list of players as it rolled to a 42-6 triumph. Hillsborough won its 14th straight game.
“If we’re gonna be a good team, we’re gonna be a really physical defense and today we were,” Raiders coach Kevin Carty Jr. said.
Senior quarterback Ryan Tasetano threw touchdown passes of 20 and 62 and 3 yards. The first two were to senior tight end Shane Donoghue in the first and second quarters, respectively, and the third to Kevin Shelton in the third quarter. Sophomore Jackson Jankowicz scored on a 16-yard run with 1:03 left in the in the first half to give the Raiders a 21-0 lead.
BY THE NUMBERS
Hillsborough ran 43 plays for 284 yards – 143 passing and 141 rushing. The Raiders held the Bears to 43 yards of offense. Quarterback Ryan Tasetano was 7-for-8 for 143 yards. Dom Monsorno led Hillsborough with 88 yards on 11 carries.
MORE NUMBERS
Linebackers Joey Witcoski, Shayne Powell and Jon Lobelo had six tackles apiece. The Raiders had four sacks – Witcoski, Powell and Shane Donoghue.
GAME BALLS
Senior tight end/defensive end Shayne Donoghue caught three passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns and had a sack. Linebacker Joey Witcoski had four unassisted tackles and two for a loss of 17 yards.
RAIDER STREAK
The win extends the Big Central Conference’s longest active winning streak to 14 games. That’s also the second longest active streak in the state, tied with Bergen Catholic, which has won 14 in a row, including a 12-0 state championship season last year and a win in its final game of the 2020 COVID year. Only Caldwell – last year’s North Group 2 Regional Champion – has won more consecutive games: 15 and counting, with their season opener coming up Friday night at Morris Catholic.
THEY SAID IT
Kevin Carty on his team’s performance, “Everyone answered the call.”
Quarterback Ryan Tasetano, “We had some fumbles, and little mishaps, but it’s an opening game, it’s gonna happen.”
UP NEXT
Hillsborough will play at Bridgewater-Raritan Friday night in a Big Central Conference American Silver Division opener for both. B-R coach Rick Mantz, a Hillsborough grad, kicked the game-winning field goal to beat Madison Central 10-7 in the Central Group 3 title game in 1980. He then led Hillsborough to a Central Group 4 title as coach in 2000. Hillsborough won its third sectional title last season under Kevin Carty. | https://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2022/09/02/big-central-conference-nj-football-hillsborough-wins-opener/65462800007/ | 2022-09-02T07:48:07Z | mycentraljersey.com | control | https://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2022/09/02/big-central-conference-nj-football-hillsborough-wins-opener/65462800007/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
North Brunswick football opens with win over South Brunswick
NORTH BRUNSWICK – North Brunswick found their new running back in Thursday’s 19-0 win over South Brunswick – quarterback Frankie Garbolino.
Well, not quite. The senior who broke the program’s all-time single season passing records in each of the past two years will surely throw plenty this fall.
Just Thursday, the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder was needed to run, so he took off with five scampers in double-digits as the Raiders pulled out a methodical 19-0 win in the annual rivalry game.
Garbolino rushed for a game-high 104 yards on 14 carries and had a 2-yard TD. Consider this: all of last season he rushed for 222 yards on 89 carries with three TDs.
For his part, Garbolino – who threw for 1,855 yards in 2021 – was happy to talk about the defense’s performance.
“I would put them up against any defense in the county,” he said. “Those guys are awesome. They work their tails off every day. … What they do out there is insane. It just makes my life so much easier, knowing that OK, if we turn the ball over, here we go. We’re going to get it right back and we’re going to score.”
Thursday, Zahmir Dawud added two touchdowns in the second half as the Raiders opened their 6-0 halftime lead. Dawud took a short pass from Garbolino and raced to the end zone for a 19-yard scored. He also added a 3-yard TD run.
What it means
North Brunswick now leads the series 27-19-1 and posed for pictures with the Mike Elko Memorial Trophy that goes to the winner each season. It was a good start for the Raiders, who showed grit at times, including a 13-play, 78-yard drive for over 6 minutes that stretched into the fourth quarter and ended in a TD.
South Brunswick also showed good things in the return of Joe Goerge as head coach. He guided the Vikings from 2012-2018 and won three sectional titles.
Key plays
In a low scoring game, there were surely some defensive highlights.
In the first quarter, South Brunswick went from its own 22-yard line to North Brunswick’s 31-yard line in the team’s best drive of the game. On third-and-5, Alani Ajigbotosho and Dawud broke up a pass attempt. On fourth down, the Vikings pass went high and North Brunswick got the ball on downs.
South Brunswick, meanwhile, created a turnover toward the end of the first quarter as North Brunswick was driving in its territory. On a third-and-one, Asonye Chisom charged across the line and wrapped up Garbolino, who threw the ball away instead of taking the sack. The ball went to the left and Jacob Brokaw dove for the interception at South Brunswick’s 17-yard line.
Game Balls
Shutouts aren’t easy, but North Brunswick put pressure on the Vikings throughout the game. Defensive ends Isaiah Barnes and Amanuell Gray and linebackers Justin Batts (fumble recovery), Tamir Jenkins, Isaiah Thomas and Willie Wilson, among others, had big nights.
Garbolino also had an efficient night passing, going 12-for-17 for 125 yards and throwing to five different receivers in Dawud, Aligbotosho, Batts, Jack Garbolino and Demba Conleh.
They said it
North Brunswick coach Mike Cipot on Garbolino’s big running night, “I loved how we played physically. We’re not always going to air the ball out and it just shows a little bit of balance on our team.”
Garbolino on his big running night, “It kind of just happened. I knew I would be running the ball a little bit. We put in a couple designed runs, so that was fun. Once I started running it seemed to click so I just took off with that.”
Cipot on the team defense, "It’s impressive, but it also goes to the preparation that we’ve done all summer. Again, my defensive staff did a great job getting these guys ready for anything because we didn’t think they were going to come out and be very vanilla and they didn’t show that. They came out in different formations, but our guys are a smart group. They’re tough and they’re veterans, but they’re very smart and I think that’s the difference.”
South Brunswick coach Joe Goerge, “We didn’t get much going on offense, obviously. They did a good job. We hung in there a little bit and, again, it’s all part of the process right now. It’s going to take a little bit, but I’m sure we saw some good things. I’m sure we’ll get on film and see a few more things and there’s a lot of corrections.”

PICO RIVERA — Defense seemed to be optional Thursday night at Ernie Johnson Field, as the El Rancho and Monrovia football teams combined for 1,056 yards of total offense and 84 points.
But the Wildcats’ first-half passing clinic put the game well out of reach as they remained undefeated.
Monrovia junior quarterback Brian Salazar Jr. had a near-flawless first-half performance, and the Wildcats went on to win 58-26 over the Dons (2-1).
“Brian (Salazar) was amazing,” Monrovia coach Chris Williams said of the quarterback’s performance. “He’s starting to get his feet wet. He knows the system and he’s finally getting his quarterback legs under him and he’s starting to find his rhythm. Guys are trusting him and he’s starting to make plays.”
The Wildcats (3-0) surpassed their offensive total last week in the first half of Thursday’s game. Salazar threw for five touchdowns and 456 yards on 20-of-31 passing and did most of his damage in the first half.
Defense, however, came at the expense of both of these offenses as Dons also did not shy away from the shootout. El Rancho took a more balanced approach — 225 rushing yards and 208 passing yards
El Rancho quarterback Ryan Vasquez threw for 208 yards on 14 of 16 attempts, two touchdowns and two interceptions. El Rancho tight end Angel Diaz, Vasquez’s No. 1 target all night, finished with four receptions for 125 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.
Six different ball carriers balanced out Vasquez. Senior running back Antonio Carbajal carried a good chunk of the load and finished with 151 yards and two touchdowns — a 9-yard receiving touchdown late in the first quarter and an 11-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter.
Senior running back Daniel Rodriguez added 49 rushing yards on 14 carries and one rushing touchdown.
“I thought our offensive line played really well against a (defensive) line that was much bigger than us, and I thought we showed a lot of fight up front,” El Rancho coach Adrian Medrano said of the Dons’ success offensively in the first half. “Antonio Carbajal and Daniel Rodriguez played really tough and I am proud of the effort they showed.”
Salazar and Monrovia were essentially perfect in the first half, scoring on all six of their first-half drives.
Salazar sliced and diced the El Rancho defense for five first-half passing touchdowns for 402 passing yards on 16 of 21 attempts. The junior quarterback rarely was pressured out of the pocket and as a result, found open receivers all over the field. Salazar had eight completions of 20 yards or more, and completed passes to five different receivers.
Jones added two rushing touchdowns and 40 yards on eight carries. The senior running back rushed for 142 yards on 13 carries and three rushing touchdowns before it was all said and done.
“With our offense, we can do anything. We can go short. We can go long. We can run the ball,” Monrovia’s Carlos Hernandez said. “When you have weapons on the team, it just makes it easier. When we know we can run the ball, it gives us a break.”
El Rancho, while nearly not as potent as Monrovia, did wreak some havoc on the offensive side of the ball. Despite Vasquez’s two first-half interceptions, he still managed to throw for 152 yards and two touchdowns. Just like El Rancho’s defense, the Wildcats were unable to consistently stop passes or the Dons’ rushing attack.
The Dons via a running back committee rushed for 123 yards and Rodriguez scored the lone 4-yard touchdown run late in the first half to cut the Wildcats’ lead to 10 points, 30-10.
Like the previous six drives, the Wildcats needed just three plays to extend the lead to 24 points just before the half. Salazar capped the drive with an 11-yard strike with second remaining in the first half.
Most of the first half was played with the temperate still in the high 80s, and Williams said that was part of the reason why both teams defensively looked a step slow.
“The heat hurt us a little bit, but once we got going, I felt good (defensively),” Williams said. “I don’t think anyone was prepared for that heat. We were gassed the first quarter-and-a-half.”
The second half saw the Dons stop the frenetic Monrovia pass attack on the opening two drives of the second half. But a defensive miscue on special teams and 102 second-half rushing yards by Jones were too much to overcome as the Wildcats outscored the Dons 14-6 in the second half to secure its third win of the season.
Monrovia will play at Ayala on Sept. 9. El Rancho will host Montebello on Sept. 9.

Fifty years ago, the Small Business Innovation Research program was launched, heralded as potentially “the most significant government program” of the century in science and technology.
At the time, lawmakers recognized that the U.S. government couldn’t keep pace with private research and small businesses needed financial support to move R&D from the lab to the field. SBIR established a pathway to align venture capital with their innovation efforts and has since led to 70,000 patents and $41 billion in funding across almost 700 companies.
The federal government benefits immensely from this symbiosis, and while the SBIR program has historically been extended without issue, it now faces opposition. Letting SBIR expire would have existential consequences for the U.S. Department of Defense and the tech industry serving it. Instead of defunding SBIR, Congress must strengthen it to ensure small businesses that need support get it so the DoD can remain competitive on a fast-evolving global technological stage.
To maintain strategic advantage and ensure force readiness and resilience amid increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, the DoD must embrace commercially borne innovation to address national security challenges.
“Failure to reauthorize the programs will result in approximately 1,200 warfighter needs not being addressed through innovative research and technology development,” Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment William LaPlante and Undersecretary for Research and Engineering Heidi Shyu wrote in a June 3 letter to lawmakers. Meanwhile, government reports have detailed common security vulnerabilities discovered in weapon systems that put the military at risk. SBIR assures a pipeline of new defense and cybersecurity technology for the military.
If U.S. fails to fund SBIR, nation risks competitive advantage
For the tech industry, the consequences would be devastating if SBIR is not reauthorized. Since its inception, SBIR has facilitated a virtuous cycle of innovation and commercialization. The DoD in particular has benefitted from SBIR. Most digital components the military relies on, from information technology like routers and operating systems, to operational technology within critical infrastructure and military weapon systems, were developed commercially.
Today, the military is a net-importer of technology. But it’s ironic that venture-backed companies often eschew it as a customer due to its reputation for being difficult to do business with. The SBIR program is perhaps the single-most important tool the government has to combat this perception.
Don’t defund. Evolve
Over the past century, the military has exported many life-changing technologies to the private sector: the Global Positioning System; the internet; the Epipen, the microwave oven; and jet engines, to name a few. But the DoD can’t do cybersecurity R&D on its own, especially in light of its talent shortage. The private industry pays competitively-high salaries for the highly-specialized professionals needed to solve these hard problems. Congress must reauthorize the SBIR program in September, and modernize it to improve the effectiveness of the small business-DoD partnership. Here are my recommendations to accomplish that.
Funding for later stage projects
The Valley of Death is a glaring oversight in the SBIR program that prevents innovative technologies from reaching full-scale deployment within the DoD. Put simply, the funding gap between makeshift SBIR Phase III awards and reliable, congressionally-appropriated spending keeps innovative technology away from the warfighter. It can take years for congressionally-appropriated funding to make its way to DoD buyers, whereas venture-backed companies operate on 12- to 18-month funding cycles during which they must show meaningful progress towards aggressive growth targets.
To optimize the SBIR process, DoD should emphasize funding the Phase III transition. This would increase competition in the early stages of the funnel and expand the opportunities for small businesses nearing the deployment stage — thus increasing the volume of tech solutions available to the DoD and speed to market. Undersecretary Shyu is sensitive to this challenge; earlier this year she requested “bridge funding” to sustain companies through this Valley of Death. The government should significantly increase funding available for Phase III awards, in part funded by more stringent criteria for Phase I/Phase II awards.
Rules for early-stage funding
The main criticism of the SBIR program from its biggest opponent, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is its abuse by so-called “SBIR mills,” companies that rely on Phase I and II grants as primary revenue streams with no intention of commercial expansion. In 2020, the State Science & Technology Institute (SSTI) found that 0.7%, representing 95 companies, won 40 or more Phase I and/or 30 or more Phase II awards.
The abuse of a small group cannot ruin the opportunity for the larger industry. DoD must address these concerns. The SBIR program already has performance benchmark requirements intended to emphasize transition from Phase II to Phase III, and in April 2021, the Small Business Association began designating suspected SBIR mills as ineligible for future awards. By strengthening and refining this approach, the legitimate concerns of Congress can be addressed while making the SBIR program even more potent.
Public-private cooperation, education
Finally, there must be greater collaboration and information sharing between the venture ecosystem and the DoD. Programs like the AFVentures Fellowship are excellent. By embedding career DoD officials with venture firms and venture-backed companies, we can strengthen shared understanding, build trust, and grease the skids for commercial technology to make its way into the hands of the warfighter.
Venture capital is America’s innovation engine. To spur innovation at the pace of technology, the U.S. government requires partnerships with private companies, particularly those that can manage lengthy acquisition cycles while demonstrating commercial success. This symbiotic relationship is the key to ensuring the DoD has access to the most cutting-edge technologies in the fastest possible route. The SBIR program has served the tech and science industries well for half a century. We need to strengthen it, not defund it over an issue that can easily be corrected because today — our national security depends on it.

Shares of video-streaming platform provider Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) have been punished severely amid the recent tech wreck, now near 52-week lows. Though pressures are mounting from all ends, the company remains one of Cathie Wood’s favorite companies, and for good reason. It’s one of the “spiciest” and most innovation-focused streaming companies. At the end of the day, I do think innovation is how Roku will rise out of the rubble of its historic sell-off.
While I have no idea when the sell-off will conclude, Roku stock is starting to get cheap relative to its turnaround potential. For that reason, I am turning bullish on the stock.
Can Roku Give Its Ecosystem a Jolt?
Roku has steadily built an ecosystem for itself over the years. Its streaming stick is still widely used in spite of intensifying competition from big-tech rivals like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). To prevent its ecosystem from withering away over time, though, Roku needs to give its ecosystem a jolt with features that can differentiate it from its peers.
Streaming hardware is mostly commoditized these days, but let’s not forget that Roku was one of the early-day pioneers in helping consumers transform their dumb TVs into smart ones.
Now that almost everyone has streaming enabled on their TV sets, questions linger as to what the next frontier will be. Roku’s push into content creation, with Roku Channel exclusives, is intriguing. However, the non-stop spending does not seem to be the cure to Roku’s ailments. Getting into streaming is costly. Roku needs another angle if it’s to out-innovate its peers and become a more relevant player in the increasingly crowded streaming space.
In a prior piece, I noted that Roku was at a huge disadvantage to its content-creating peers and that it would look far better for the firm to butter itself up to become a more enticing takeover target.
Though Roku may not have a wide moat surrounding its users, the firm’s innovative capabilities can help it steer through industry headwinds. Like it or not, Roku has an ecosystem. It just needs to make the most of its large user base before smart TVs can outsmart Roku hardware.
Are Cathie Wood’s Sky-High Hopes Really That Far-Fetched?
Despite the catastrophic implosion in shares of Roku, Cathie Wood sees a nice bounce-back in store for the former high-flyer. Not only does Wood see Roku recovering to its highs, it sees Roku stock overshooting to $605 in five years. Clearly, Wood sees more than just a troubled streaming-hardware maker.
Unless Roku can turn the ship around in an AMD-like (NASDAQ: AMD) fashion, such a $605 target seems ridiculous. That implies that shares would be almost 10x higher than current levels. For reference, the Street-high target of Roku stock is pinned at $130 per share — implying a 90% gain over the medium term.
Competition is incredibly fierce, and Roku is vulnerable going into a streaming slowdown. It’s not a mystery as to why most Wall Street analysts have been downgrading the stock from left, right, and center. So, how can Roku change the tides?
Perhaps Roku should unleash the Roku Channel and make it readily available to a wider range of consumers, including those that don’t use Roku devices. At the end of the day, Roku needs to move beyond the hardware game if it’s to thrive. Recent markdowns of Roku devices may help the firm increase its user count going into a recession. That said, Roku needs to have a plan for when growth inevitably grinds to a slowdown.
Roku Stock Cheap as Streaming Embraces Ads
At 3.1x sales, Roku seems cheap, even as a content underdog. As the company doubles down on ad-based content, there’s definitely room for Roku to edge out its rivals. Everybody in streaming seems to be targeting ad-supported streaming these days. When it comes to ads, Roku may have an opportunity to target users more effectively with algorithms that know what a user would be interested in based on what they watch.
Indeed, ads are the new frontier for the video-streaming space, and Roku has the talent to create data-driven algorithms that can help it regain a higher multiple.
The “Roku Recommends” program is an intriguing show that leverages Roku data to help users discover what to watch next. Indeed, enhanced algorithms and hit shows could be the forces that entice Roku users to give the Roku Channel a second look.
What is Roku Stock’s Price Target?
Turning to Wall Street, ROKU stock comes in as a Moderate Buy. Out of 22 analyst ratings, there are 12 Buys, four Holds, and six Sell recommendations.
The average Roku price target is $81.43, implying upside potential of 19.2%. Analyst price targets range from a low of $55.00 per share to a high of $130.00 per share.
Conclusion: Roku Looks Undervalued Despite Heavy Competition
Though competition is fierce, I do think Roku stock is undervalued after shedding a vast majority of its value from peak to trough. Roku Channel is likely to evolve into a major growth driver, moving forward. Looking ahead, I expect original content and data-driven innovations to help Roku regain its innovative appeal again. | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/can-innovation-save-roku-nasdaqroku-stock | 2022-09-02T08:06:59Z | tipranks.com | control | https://www.tipranks.com/news/article/can-innovation-save-roku-nasdaqroku-stock | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
London’s FTSE 100 index closed down 1.86% at 7,148.5 with the FTSE 250 down 2.99% at 18,943.7: it was the FTSE 100’s largest one-day decline in more than a month, topping out a four-day streak where the index was down for four consecutive days, driven largely by fears over the global economy.
Losses in the mining, financial services and travel sectors helped to propel shares downwards, amid a global sell-off.
British house prices rose faster in August than in July, although analysts fear the market will cool in coming months as the impact of surging energy prices hits household budgets and the Bank of England raises interest rates still further. Lender Nationwide said the average house price rose 0.8% in August, and is 10% higher year-on-year.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide’s chief economist said, “There are signs that the housing market is losing some momentum, with surveyors reporting fewer new buyer enquiries in recent months and the number of mortgage approvals for house purchases falling below pre-pandemic levels.”
Mining stocks fell yesterday thanks to news about the Chinese economy which sparked fears of a drop in demand for commodities: Covid-19 lockdowns have been reintroduced in several large cities including tech hub Shenzhen.
In the wake of the news, stock such as Glencore (GB:0IVW) plunged by 6.6%.

According to TipRanks data, the oil and gas sector is currently preferred over the green energy sector. This sector has taken center stage amid the supply shortage and rising oil & gas prices due to the Russia-Ukraine war.
Notably, economies worldwide have been feeling the urgency to shift toward cleaner and greener fuel alternatives. However, the absence of alternative sources has led to an unexpected surge in the demand for traditional fuel options currently.
Europe, in particular, is facing the toughest energy crisis of all time. With the onset of winter, Europe will require even more oil & gas to power electric heaters. On the other hand, nuclear power plants, which are also used to generate electricity, are facing criticism for their side effects. Many nations have shut down their nuclear plants to reduce the emissions and impact on the human race.
We have looked at the expert sentiment for the ten largest stocks in each industry. Let us look at each of the expert’s sentiments in detail.
1) TipRanks Insider Sentiment is Positive on O&G
TipRanks Insider Trading Tool shows that corporate insiders in the top oil & gas companies have snapped up over $9.07 billion worth of shares since the start of 2022.
On the contrary, insiders in the top green energy companies have dumped their holdings to the tune of $619.81 million, vis-à-vis buying merely $12.98 million worth of stock during the same period.
2) Analysts Remain Optimistic about O&G
The Russia-led war has certainly brought limelight to the oil & gas companies. Wall Street analysts seem to be highly optimistic about the largest oil & gas companies compared to the green energy companies.
TipRanks data shows that 82.7% of analysts in the TipRanks universe recommended a Buy rating on oil & gas stocks, while 64.3% had a Buy rating on energy stocks. Similarly, 94.8% of analysts have maintained their recommendations on oil & gas stocks as compared to 90.2% who have reiterated their calls on energy stocks.
3) Analyst Price Targets and Earnings Beat
As per TipRanks data, from 2018 until now, 79% of oil & gas stocks have outperformed analysts’ earnings per share (EPS) forecasts. On the contrary, 58% of energy companies missed analysts’ expectations in the same period.
Also, a whopping 74.1% of analysts have improved their price targets on oil & gas stocks vis-à-vis 52.8% of improved price targets on energy stocks. Meanwhile, nearly 29% of analysts have reduced their price targets on green energy stocks, compared to 25% of analysts who have reduced price targets for oil & gas stocks.
Ending Thoughts
As seen from the above data, the oil & gas sector is currently in high demand. With no end to the war in sight and with winter approaching, experts are fearing how the European nations will survive. The demand for more production and supply of oil & gas resources will continue to dominate the energy market in the short term.
On the other hand, renewable energy resources are still in very nascent stages of development. Even traditional oil & gas companies are making huge investments to turn toward green energy alternatives. But until sustainable energy resources are fully available to the masses, the traditional oil & gas companies’ products will continue to be in demand.
All in all, considering the current macroeconomic backdrop, both insiders and analysts remain highly bullish on the oil & gas sector compared to the green energy sector. | https://www.tipranks.com/news/labs/oil-gas-vs-green-energy-which-sector-is-favored-currently | 2022-09-02T08:07:12Z | tipranks.com | control | https://www.tipranks.com/news/labs/oil-gas-vs-green-energy-which-sector-is-favored-currently | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
As you all know, the Yakima Valley is known for its amazing beers, wines and ciders. In fact, one could argue that our Valley is home to the best craft beverages in the world.
One of the most familiar names among local breweries is Bale Breaker Brewing Co., known for its high quality and hoppy beverages. But I’m not here to tell you about their next IPA. I’m here to showcase two new beverages made by the brilliant minds of the Bale Breaker family that are not made with any hops at all — and both are safe for the gluten-intolerant to consume.
Interested? I thought so.
Read on to learn about what this trusted, innovative family has created — and how they are raising the bar once again for our Washington state craft beverage industry.
Yoxi
The name: Yoxi came from mashing together Yakima and Moxee. Pretty catchy, huh?
The drink: Yoxi is a 4.5% ABV, 100-calorie craft hard seltzer made with real fruit (instead of fruit flavoring like most other hard seltzers on the market). It took the team at Bale Breaker 18 months to concoct this tasty beverage, focusing on using all-natural ingredients and creating unique flavors.
The flavors: The first flavor that the team perfected was their Lime Agave Ranch Water, which was released this past fall in six-pack boxes. The other three flavors (Spicy Mango, Strawberry Citrus and Paloma Ranch Water) were released in 12-can variety packs this spring.
As a consumer who has tasted all four flavors, all I can say is that you really can’t go wrong — each one is a tasty blend of flavors that are perfect after a day on the river or on the trail.
Where: You can snag the six-packs of Lime Agave Ranch Water at Fred Meyer in Yakima as well as a handful of other Fred Meyers east of the mountains. Most of our local independent grocers in town carry the 12-pack variety box. You can also pick up either box (or relax and enjoy a glass) at Bale Breaker’s taproom near Moxee as well as the Bale Breaker Ballard Taproom during serving hours.
Sungaze
The idea: Over a game of golf between some of the Bale Breaker family members and a local family that is a 502 licensed cannabis producer, the idea of Sungaze emerged — and soon became a reality.
After in-depth discussion and business planning, five families created a group to go in 50% with Painted Rooster Cannabis Co. — and thus, Sungaze Cannabis Co. was born.
The drink: Sungaze is the first low-dose cannabis beverage manufacturer in Washington state. With 2.5 mg of THC and 5 mg of CBD, Sungaze is under 100 calories and contains half the sugar of a soda. It’s a light, tasty nonalcoholic seltzer — and just like Yoxi, it’s made with real fruit.
The why: Because this beverage has only a low dose of THC and CBD, it has opened the door to the “canni-curious,” offering the benefits of marijuana without the side effects of smoking it.
It can offer relaxation, better sleep and be a great alcohol replacement for social gatherings. One can of Sungaze can be equated to one glass of wine, but the effects usually last twice as long as alcohol. And if you’ve had edible marijuana before and are interested in the equivalent, it would take four cans of Sungaze to equal the dose of one edible that you can purchase at a licensed dealer.
The flavors: Sungaze comes in three flavors: Lemon Ginger, Strawberry Citrus and Lime Agave.
Where: Sungaze beverages can be purchased at local Yakima licensed cannabis dealers. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/bale-breaker-cracks-open-two-new-hop-free-beverages-including-one-with-cannabis/article_46262054-20dd-11ed-9935-4fbe29a30b2b.html | 2022-09-02T08:11:53Z | yakimaherald.com | control | https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/bale-breaker-cracks-open-two-new-hop-free-beverages-including-one-with-cannabis/article_46262054-20dd-11ed-9935-4fbe29a30b2b.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Because of an editing error, a story in the July edition of Yakima Magazine about the Yakima River Canyon mistakenly included several photos that were not of the Yakima River Canyon. We apologize, but hope you enjoyed the adventure nonetheless.

The annual Fresh Hop Ale Festival celebrates the harvest of the many hop growers of the Yakima Valley. Local and regional breweries make their presence known, not only to show off different beers they’re producing, but to compete for various awards.
People from all over the world come out to not only enjoy the different beers on tap, but to enjoy the live music, food and surroundings.
In previous years, Fresh Hop was held in downtown Yakima. However, last year, the festival was moved to the Sozo Sports Complex. This year’s festival will be Oct. 8.
Here’s a photo essay of the last downtown event, which took place in 2019. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/fresh-hop-ale-festival-celebrating-the-harvest/article_7dbd5f74-21cc-11ed-be68-f3a05a8fce17.html | 2022-09-02T08:12:05Z | yakimaherald.com | control | https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/fresh-hop-ale-festival-celebrating-the-harvest/article_7dbd5f74-21cc-11ed-be68-f3a05a8fce17.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Let’s raise a toast to Yakima Valley breweries, which are donating for the good of our communities. There is a quiet, often unsung, outpouring of generosity from breweries to causes ranging from medical research to care of outdoor recreational sites.
For Meghann Quinn, an owner of Bale Breaker Brewing Co., the issue is personal. Each year, Bale Breaker raises about $70,000 through a program they call Ales for ALS. The promotion features the sale of “Bubba’s Brew,” a canned ale that honors her uncle, Scott Hanses, who died of ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease).
Quinn’s family has a genetic form of the rare neurological disease, which has also claimed her grandfather and six other relatives, she said. “I was 4 when my grandfather passed,” she recalled. “My memories are of him in a wheelchair. ALS has been a part of my entire life.”
Each year since 2013, when Bale Breaker was founded, Quinn’s family members in the hop industry have donated hops to more than 200 breweries across the nation to make their own special recipes of ale. One dollar for every pint brewed is contributed to the ALS Therapy Development Institute, based in Watertown, Mass.
The last Saturday of June each year, Bale Breaker holds an event at their brewery on Yakima’s Birchfield Road in which they release Bubba’s Brew to our community. The free event often draws 1,500 to 2,000 people. They also feature the brew at their Seattle taproom, with the same $1 donations made for each pint sold at both locations.
“A lot of families come out who have been affected by ALS,” Quinn said. With ongoing research, “we hope the end goal is that we don’t have to do this anymore,” she said.
Meanwhile, across town at Cowiche Creek Brewing Co., co-owner Derrick Nordberg has also found that “through beer, we can give back to our community.”
Even before the brewing company’s grand opening in 2017, owners started supporting local programs. It all began with a donation of beer to a Southwest Rotary Club auction.
Now, each year, the company hosts the Music and Monarchs event at their brewery on Thompson Road in Cowiche. The gathering, which features music, refreshments and the release of magnificent monarch butterflies, benefits the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy. The staff sells beer at the event and gives 100% of the profits to the conservancy, Nordberg said.
“If you donate into the community, it will come back to you tenfold,” Nordberg has learned, noting that, now that he has discovered the beauty of the conservancy trails that meander through meadows, grasslands and woodlands, he and his wife enjoy hiking there.
Also on tap for the Cowiche Creek Brewing Co. are donations to the nonprofit Yakima Schools Foundation. “Our friends and family use the schools,” he noted.
However, for a new fundraiser begun this August, Nordberg really puts some skin in the game. Called “Bite the Brewer,” the event benefits K9 Foundation Yakima Valley, which supplies funds for Yakima County’s law enforcement K9 programs. This creative attention-getter, which raises awareness for the K9 units, includes a demonstration of how a law enforcement canine subdues an individual being sought ... with Nordberg serving as the subject.
The brewing company’s donations all reflect “the pride we take in building our community,” Nordberg said. “We make the investment to try to make Yakima a better place.”
This philosophy is shared by Andrew Pytel, director of customer experience for Single Hill Brewing Co., which opened in 2018 on North Naches Avenue in Yakima.
“To be a member of the community comes with responsibility,” he said. “One of our core philosophies is that beer grows community.”
Single Hill management sets aside one day each month on which half of its proceeds are given to a nonprofit “benefiting the people of Yakima.” Recipients have ranged from the Boxx Gallery in Tieton to the Pegasus Project (a therapeutic horseback-riding program) and Wellness House (a center for those suffering from illness, and their family members).
In addition, the brewery staff draw upon the spirit of the Yakima Valley as each year they join with numerous other breweries to benefit a nonprofit organization. The past two years, there was a “Hops for Hounds” fundraiser to assist the Yakima Humane Society. “This year, 10 breweries all brewed our own beers and each donated some of the proceeds,” Pytel said.
For the past two years, Single Hill also has done a fundraiser for the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy, collaborating with them on what kind of beer to make and the artwork on the can, with 10% of proceeds benefiting the conservancy.
Such support has been a natural fit for the staff of Single Hill. “Almost everyone who works here enjoys the outdoors and almost everyone has a dog,” Pytel said. “Most of our dogs are rescues.”
It’s a matter of “teamwork with the community,” said Nordberg from Cowiche Creek Brewing. “The reason we live in Yakima is because we love Yakima.” It helps to have a little perspective about the purpose of operating a business, added Nordberg, because “we’re only on this Earth once.”
Among countless other breweries that make a difference in our region, these three establishments continue to pour forth the beer — and the love — for the Valley they all call home. | https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/local-breweries-give-back-to-the-community-with-an-outpouring-of-generosity/article_95eaefa0-20e4-11ed-9530-abdd8206579b.html | 2022-09-02T08:12:12Z | yakimaherald.com | control | https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/local-breweries-give-back-to-the-community-with-an-outpouring-of-generosity/article_95eaefa0-20e4-11ed-9530-abdd8206579b.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
