LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A public administrator in Clark County, Nevada, who faces an open murder charge could remain in his elected position — with a $130,000-per-year salary — until a new person takes over in January.
Rob Telles, 45, was taken into custody Wednesday in connection with the murder of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German.
The 69-year-old German was found dead outside his home on Sept. 3. He had published several stories about Telles’ office, saying it was in “turmoil,” in the months leading up to his stabbing death last weekend.
Telles’ DNA was discovered under German’s fingernails, sources told Nexstar’s KLAS on Thursday.
Voters elected Telles as the county’s public guardian in 2019. The county position runs the office that administers a deceased person’s estate if no family is found, or if the family is unable.
That same year, Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak appointed him to the Board of Indigent Defense. The board, one of hundreds of advisory boards and committees, removed Telles on Friday, its chair said. A spokesperson for the governor said the governor “had signed paperwork” removing Telles as a voting member of the board on Friday.
As of this week, a county spokesperson said leaders were reviewing their options on how to move forward with Telles’ employment.
“For now, he’s still an elected officer and he’ll get paid while he’s in jail,” Democratic Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom said Friday, adding the only action he believed the commission could take could be to order a recall vote.
That would require a recall petition and other work, including gathering and verifying more than 100,000 signatures. Before Telles’ arrest, an election was already in the works to choose his replacement, since Telles lost his June primary.
“We can take the scope of work away from him, but as far as him having the title and getting the salary, it is that way, because the voters picked him,” Segerblom said.
Telles could also resign.
Judge Elana Lee Graham denied bail for Telles on Thursday. If a judge sets bail and Telles is released pending trial, he will not have access to his office or other county buildings, officials said.
“People don’t need to worry that the place isn’t being run or he’s still running it,” Segerblom said. (Former Clark County coroner Michael Murphy was hired to mend tension in the office earlier this year.)
Police took a sample of Telles’ DNA around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday before searching his home. Detectives then detained Telles and questioned him, releasing him around 2 p.m. and driving him back to his house.
Nevada law states a person can only be detained for an hour without probable cause.
Telles was taken into custody around 6:30 p.m. and was found with superficial wounds. Police also suspect he may have ingested narcotics in an attempt to die by suicide.
An attorney for Telles did not respond to an email Friday.
German’s family has set up a donation page to a local charity in his memory. The family chose Three Square, which helps people dealing with food insecurity. | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/nevada-elected-official-accused-of-journalists-murder-could-stay-in-130k-role-for-months/ | 2022-09-10T20:55:44Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/nevada-elected-official-accused-of-journalists-murder-could-stay-in-130k-role-for-months/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Arlington County police have arrested a Maryland man in connection with a springtime malicious-wounding incident.
On May 15, a woman was driving in the area of Wilson Boulevard at North Vermont Street when she observed a black SUV swerving and traveling at a high rate of speed, police said. The bystander reported seeing an individual pushed from the SUV into the roadway.
Responding officers located the victim in the roadway, and medics transported her to a local hospital with injuries reported as serious.
According to police, investigation revealed that the victim earlier that day had requested a rideshare service from the District of Columbia to her home in Arlington. According to police, while the victim was waiting for the vehicle, the suspect (who was not a ride-share operator) approached her and had her enter his vehicle before driving away.
Investigation led Arlington officers to the suspect – 59-year-old Willie James Clements of Upper Marlboro – was taken into custody without incident on Sept. 2.
Clements was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, grand larceny and hit-and-run, and was held without bond.

Today, Sept. 10, 2022, Leaders of Tomorrow-St. Louis is hosting a kickoff to recruit new students into the leadership program.
The meeting operates from 5 p.m.- 7 p.m. (doors open at 4:30) at Venture Cafe, located at 4240 Duncan Ave, St. Louis, MO, 63110.
NBMBAA's Leaders of Tomorrow Program, a nationwide leading initiative launched in 1991 in St. Louis, provides mentorship to Black high school students. The initiative focuses on students aspiring to hold executive positions. Leadership, financial literacy, college preparation, career preparation, and life skills are the program’s priorities.
The program offers scholarships, internships, etc.
St. Louis Leaders of Tomorrow works with the students on yearly summits and case competitions. In the competitions, students will create solutions to business problems for corporations. Three students who come up with the best strategy each win grand prize money that can be distributed toward their tuition.
"Leaders of Tomorrow is a great collegiate program where our students have opportunities to meet and have personal conversations with CEOs from companies such as Netflix, Dominos and Amazon and see firsthand they can reach the same success," said Gina Covington-James, co-chair of Leaders of Tomorrow-St. Louis and Business Education & Technology teacher at Parkway Northeast Middle School. "We are giving them the tools to succeed in their endeavors. They have the chance to meet people they probably would've never in their wildest dreams, all because of the program."
Elizabeth Franklin, a junior at Parkway West High School, said she enjoys participating in the Leaders of Tomorrow Program.
"It's not only fun, but it's really useful," Franklin said. "I've learned much about financial literacy and Black businesses in general. It's been an interesting experience."
Franklin, at the moment, is undecided on her career aspirations but does have some interest in potentially practicing law in the future.
"Even if you don't see yourself as an entrepreneur, the lessons you learn in Leaders of Tomorrow provide kids with endless resources and opportunities and help nurture their talents and abilities," Franklin said.
Another component of Leaders of Tomorrow is parent involvement.
Kasandra Hodge, the co-chair of Leaders of Tomorrow - St. Louis and a financial services executive with Edward Jones, said the program had benefited her and her son.
"In the past, we [Leaders of Tomorrow] met Bob Johnson from BET from that connection. I always said once my son got older, I wanted him to join the program," Hodge said. "He joined his freshman year, then joined virtually last year his sophomore year because of COVID-19."
Students throughout the city and county can join Leaders of Tomorrow-St. Louis. The current cohort has students in Parkway School District, Ladue School District, Hazelwood School District, Clayton School District, and Francis Howell School District.
All students interested in attending must register at the 2022 Information Meeting Sign-up Form (google.com) or scan the QR code on the attached flyer.

A majority of Virginia Realtors taking part in a monthly confidence survey now believe home prices across the commonwealth will drop in coming months, reversing a long-held belief by many that the market, while cooling, wasn’t going to enter a declining-price environment.
The share of survey respondents who expect prices to rise in their local markets in the next three months fell again to the lowest level since the Virginia Realtors trade organization began tracking member confidence in July 2021. Just over half of responding Realtors (51%) said they believed prices will begin to fall within the next few months. Thirty percent said they expected prices to remain the same in the coming quarter, with less than 20 percent expecting gains.
(Before the hyperventilating begins, it’s probably worth noting that this may simply represent a return to the cyclical nature of annual home sales and sale prices in the commonwealth, which before being sent higgledy-piggledy by COVID tended to be higher in spring and summer, lower in autumn and winter.)
Figures represent the most recent survey, conducted in late August and reported in early September. A total of 700 Virginia Realtors members responded to the survey, including 557 who had participated in a home-sales transaction in the prior 30 days.
The survey’s Buyer Activity Index for the month was 39, which is down from 43 in July, the lowest level since data began being tracked in mid-2021. Only 13 percent of respondents rated the level of buyer activity in their local markets as “high” or “very high” while about 36 percent said it was “low” or “very low.”
Confidence in future homebuyer activity grew for the third consecutive month but is still relatively low. This index gauges how Realtors think the market will be performing in three months’ time.
The index increased to 42,up from 41 in July, but it’s still just half the level from January’s high of 83. Only 12 percent of respondents indicated that they thought buyer activity would be strong three months from now in their local markets.
The average number of buyer offers per home declined, according to respondents. Recent transactions received an average of 1.7 offers in August, slightly down from 1.8 offers on average in July. During August, about 42 percent of respondents stated that offers came in above listing price, which is a decline from the previous month but still a sign that the market, while cooling, is hardly collapsing.
Around 28 percent of buyers in August were first-timers, according to survey respondents, a tick lower than the preceding month.
Sellers, too, are seemingly backing away from the market. In August, the Seller Activity Index was 29, a fall from 33 in July. About 7 percent of respondents reported that seller activity was “high to very high” in their local market while 49 percent reported that seller activity was “low to very low,” up from 42 percent a month before.
Only 9 percent of Virginia Realtors reported that they think seller activity will be strong in three months, remaining unchanged from last month.

FOCUS St. Louis and the United Way of Greater St. Louis will host the first of three community forums addressing area challenges from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022, at The Sheldon Ballroom, 3648 Washington Blvd in Grand Center.
“Our region faces many challenges, from the ability to afford basic living expenses to unanticipated crises that arise on any given day, creating the need for poised and positioned leadership at all levels of our community,” Michelle Tucker, United Way of Greater St. Louis president and CEO, said.
The United Way completed a study in 2020 that revealed the concerns ranked among the highest priorities in the region. They are affordable housing, jobs and transportation, and behavioral health.
The Sept. 21 forum, which is free and open to the public, will focus on affordable housing and will feature Nahuel Fefer, Policy and Development director for Mayor Tishaura Jones; Cristina Garmendia, URBNRX founder; Will Jordan, Metropolitan St. Louis Equal Housing and Opportunity Council executive director, and Wolf Smith, St. Louis Conflict Resolution Center executive director.
“A healthy community is one where all residents have access to safe and healthy homes, economic mobility, reliable transportation, quality education, physical activity and nutrition, and quality health care, especially mental health resources,” said Yemi Akande-Bartsch, FOCUS St. Louis president and CEO.
“These are issues we explore every day in our civic leadership programs, and we look forward to bringing those discussions to our wider St. Louis community.”
Registration for the Sept. 21 forum is available at www.focus-stl.org/affordablehousing. Participants are welcome to bring a lunch, or a pre-ordered boxed lunch from Hollyberry’s Catering for $17 will be available. This option is available when registering.
Behavioral Health, and Jobs and Transportation forums will be held respectively on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022, and Tuesday, March 7, 2023.
“We are excited to launch this partnership with FOCUS and bring community leaders and changemakers together to find new and innovative solutions to address the community’s most pressing needs so our region can become stronger and more equitable for all,” Tucker said. | https://www.stlamerican.com/news/local_news/focus-st-louis-united-way-to-address-community-challenges/article_0300fa42-30fa-11ed-aa35-578c8aaee193.html | 2022-09-10T20:59:13Z | stlamerican.com | control | https://www.stlamerican.com/news/local_news/focus-st-louis-united-way-to-address-community-challenges/article_0300fa42-30fa-11ed-aa35-578c8aaee193.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The Fairfax County Deer Management Archery Program began Sept. 10 and will run through Feb. 18.
Under the oversight of the Fairfax County Police Department, in collaboration with the Fairfax County Park Authority, NOVA Parks and other public landholders, the archery program is conducted in parks and other locations throughout Fairfax County. Signs alerting the public are posted in archery-program areas, at park entrances and trailheads.
Begun 2010, the archery program is part of an integrated deer-management program to reduce and stabilize the white-tailed deer population in Fairfax County while minimizing safety and health hazards and other impacts related to deer overabundance.
Fairfax County conducts its deer-management program on about 100 properties. Last year, archers harvested 726 deer, accounting for 94 percent of the program’s total.
Fairfax County’s archery-program standards require that all archers meet state hunter licensing, education and safety requirements; pass qualifications to demonstrate skill and marksmanship; and carry program identification.
Since Virginia began tracking hunting injuries in 1959, no bystanders have been injured by an archer hunting deer anywhere in Virginia.
Parks remain open to the public during the archery program. Fluorescent-orange signs are posted in parks where hunting is authorized.
Hunters only may take shots at deer from elevated tree stands; hunting from the ground level is prohibited in county parks. Tree stands must not be located closer than 100 feet from property lines or closer than 50 feet from established park trails.
Archers are approved to hunt at assigned sites Mondays through Saturdays during legal hunting hours, which are from 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset. No hunting is allowed on Sundays in county parks. Archers are not allowed on private property without permission by the owner or tenant.

The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority’s gross revenue for the fiscal year ending in June stood at $1.4 billion, up $60 million from a year before, according to preliminary figures reported by the state agency.
For the fiscal year, ABC contributed nearly $623 million to designated state-government programs, as required by law, up about 1 percent from a year before. The total reflects $243.6 million in profits from retail sales, $294.8 million in taxes (retail) and $84.4 million collected in wine and beer taxes.
“The shifting landscape of a post-pandemic economy and our ability to continue adjusting our response to consumer demand demonstrates the resourcefulness of our ABC teammates, particularly those in retail and distribution,” said Travis Hill, CEO of the agency that in Virginia holds a monopoly on the sale of most hard liquor.
While overall sales were up, the growth was driven by sales to licensees (such as bars and restaurants), with direct sales to retail patrons down 2.4 percent. Sunday sales declined for the first time since being authorized in 2015, from $104.9 million in fiscal 2021 to $98.9 million in fiscal 2022, but was 25 percent higher than pre-pandemic Sunday sales of $79.4 million in 2019.
Two new stores generated $3.7 million in sales for the year, and ABC also oversaw six store expansions/remodels and 10 relocations, but supply-chain and related issues slowed the agency’s planned expansion during the year.
While the rate of online orders declined over the course of the year as customers returned to in-person shopping, online ordering remained materially higher than pre-pandemic levels. As expected in the COVID-receding era, licensees re-opened and restocked their bars and consumers returned to dining out, resulting in fiscal 2022 sales to restaurant and hospitality businesses exceeding pre-pandemic levels.
Licensee sales reached $229.5 million in fiscal 2022, 43 percent higher than a year before and 22 percent higher than the pre-pandemic fiscal 2019. Based on fiscal 2022 sales, the top five brands purchased in Virginia ABC stores were:
• Tito’s Handmade – domestic vodka • Hennessy VS – cognac/Armagnac • Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Black – Tennessee whiskey • Patron Silver – tequila • Jim Beam – straight bourbon
These five repeated their 2021 standing as the five brands in Virginia. Of the five top sellers, Tito’s Handmade vodka saw the most impressive leap in sales, from $57.9 million to $66.9 million, a 16-percent increase, followed by Jim Beam from $23.2 million to $24.2 million, a 4-percent increase. Sales of Hennessy VS and Patron Silver fell in fiscal 2022 due to supply-chain disruptions, while Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Black sales were unchanged at $30.4 million for both years.
Greater demand for aged products quickly depleted inventories manufactured years ahead of the pandemic, with no ready supply to supplement inventories. Packaging issues, workforce availability, ingredient shortages and shipping bottlenecks are just a few of the challenges that presented additional pressures on performance throughout the supply chain, from manufacturer to retailer, ABC officials said.
Virginia ABC’s final, audited results will be released in the fall. For more information, see the Website at www.abc.virginia.gov.

New Delhi: Veteran doubles ace Rohan Bopanna has pulled out of India's upcoming Davis Cup tie against Norway due to a knee injury.
India will play Norway in an away tie on September 16 and 17.
The other members of the squad are Sumit Nagal, Ramkumar Ramanathan, Prajnesh Gunneswaran, Yuki Bhambri and Mukund Sasikumar.
"I have had to make a tough call this week against my constant love & devotion towards representing the country & withdraw from the Davis Cup team against Norway. I have an inflammation on my knee & have been advised to rest it before I start competing again," Bopanna tweeted.
It remains to be seen if Saketh Myneni is picked for the doubles tie in place of Bopanna as he has recently forged a successful pairing with Yuki Bhambri at the Challenger level. | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/tennis/2022/09/10/rohan-bopanna-pulls-out-of-davis-cup-tie-against-norway.amp.html | 2022-09-10T21:00:13Z | onmanorama.com | control | https://www.onmanorama.com/sports/tennis/2022/09/10/rohan-bopanna-pulls-out-of-davis-cup-tie-against-norway.amp.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
An Argiope Aurantia came to visit us a week ago. Carol didn't want her to stay, but Michael and I were intrigued and decided to let her homestead if she wanted to. We made sure we stayed out of her way, and also made sure she stayed outside. Miss Aurantia is an Orb Weaver arachnid – a spider in the Araneidae family. She has many names and our favorite is Golden Garden Spider.
When the Orb Weaver first appeared outside our dining room window, her leg-span was about one and a half inches from front leg tip to rear leg tip while perched on her web, and her web was about twelve inches in diameter. She is fast, and anything that hits her circular web becomes breakfast. Now, a week later, her leg-span is close to three inches, and her web is almost two-feet wide. There are over 2,800 species of Orbers in the world, but only about 180 live in North America.
These critters look vicious – especially when they are as large as Miss Aurantia outside our window – but they pose no threat to either people or pets. They don't like to interact with humans and will run and hide if we get too close. They are quite content to be left alone to do their spider business. If one does bite, it was only a last-ditch effort because someone got too close and it couldn't escape. But don't worry; the bite is usually as irritating as a bee sting or as exasperating as a mosquito bite. Watch where you walk because it's really frustrating to walk into an orb web.
Miss Aurantia tears down her web every night and rebuilds it. The bigger she grows, the bigger she makes her net, and it's an amazing 2–3-hour process! She first removes the damaged web, then places her anchors for a new one. Then she begins, amazingly, from the outside and works toward the middle. She decides the diameter she wants, then begins the arduous job of going around in circles. The web strands are all equally spaced, and at her present size, Miss Aurantia places them about 1/4 of an inch apart.
We've seen her catch everything from gnats to butterflies to 3-inch-long dragonflies. Hummingbirds come up often to look at her, but they have enough common sense to leave her alone. However, I've read that larger orb web weavers have caught hummingbirds and frogs.
What I've written so far reveals that these spiders, actually most spiders, are not foes, but I need to point out one sobering fact. Throughout the 1900s, there were around 100 deaths that were proven to have been due to spider bites. But in the same century, about 1,500 people died from jellyfish stings.
How about this bit of data? Yesterday I read that every year approximately 25 million tons of spiders around the world eat well over 500 million tons of insects, bugs, frogs, other spiders, some birds and a lot of other unsuspecting victims.
I opened the silverware drawer some time ago to get a spoon and saw a large, healthy grass spider waiting for its next meal. I don't know how long it had been in the house, but with my wife's arachnophobia, I sucked it up with the vacuum cleaner. If it had been outside, I wouldn't have bothered it.
Most spider legs don't have muscles but work by hydraulic pressure. That's why spider legs curl up when they die. Believe it or not, larger spiders are cooked for food.
Spider silk is among the strongest and toughest materials in the natural world. It's as strong as some steel alloys with a toughness even greater than bulletproof Kevlar vests. In 1973, Skylab 3 took two orb-web spiders into space to test their web-spinning capabilities in zero gravity. At first, both produced rather sloppy webs, but they adapted quickly.
For years I wondered why God created creepy spiders. But when I began to understand how they benefit man, and how harmless the vast majority are, I like them. The only creepy thing about them is our thoughts. God created them to help hold down the bug population and they do an excellent job.
Miss Aurantia, our resident Golden Garden Orb Weaver, is our friend. I won't wash the window as long as she is homesteading here. But she better never build a web across my doorway because walking through a sticky web is no fun.

ROCK SPRINGS – The 15th annual KD Foundation Color Rush Fundraiser will be taking place on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 11 a.m.
The event raises money and awareness for Sweetwater County juvenile diabetics.
Jane Daniel is the founder of the KD Foundation and said that was inspired to start the foundation after her daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 10.
“18 years ago, my daughter Kayden was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I realized that there wasn’t anything in the county that really focused on juveniles with Type 1 Diabetes,” Daniel said. “There was a lot of focus on Type 2 Diabetes, which is completely different. I knew that there were probably other kids with this disease in Sweetwater County that did not have a support system.”
Tina Egbert, secretary of the KD Foundation, said that the event is for all ages.
“It’s a three mile/5k colorful event for all ages that begins and ends at Bunning Park. You can run, walk, ride a bike, push a stroller or pull a wagon. You can go at your own pace,” Egbert said.
“We started adding colored powder to the event about six years ago, which most people love. However, there is a color-free option of wearing a hawaiian lei if participants choose to not have color thrown on them.
“The kids love it. Everyone looks forward to it every year. Our foundation only does this one fundraiser a year and is run solely on sponsorships and donations,” Egbert said. “That’s how we can continue to succeed.”
“It’s not too late to register and shirts are still available for anyone that would like to participate."
In addition to the walk/run, Egbert said that there will be a barbecue held after the color rush, hosted by Commerce Bank.
“We’re hoping to have a really good crown. Right now, we currently have about 550 people registered for the event.”
Daniel said that a big part of the foundation is the college scholarships they are able to offer to high school seniors in Sweetwater County that have Type 1 diabetes.
"So, the biggest thing is getting the word out that the KD Foundation exists,” Daniel said. “Once we find out that these families that have kids with Type 1 diabetes, we try to educate them and help them.”
Egbert said, “Because of the community’s involvement we are able to offer medical grants to these families to help with travel or medical expenses that come with this diagnosis.”
Daniel said that the foundation is able to help cover things such as free medical alert jewelry. In addition, she said that the foundation will also pay for a medical alert tattoo (with parent’s consent).
Furthermore, the foundation is also able to help send kids to a winter or summer diabetes camp.
Those wanting to participate can still register to be a part of the event by visiting Daniel’s Jewelry, located at 617 Broadway St. It is open Tuesday-Friday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and will be closed on the day of the walk.
You can also register by calling 307-362-8040 or sending an email to: kdfoundationswco@hotmail.com.
“Participants do not have to be pre-registered for the walk and can register that day.” Daniel said. “There isn’t a set fee to register, but remember the foundation does run on donations alone.” | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rocketminer/steps-to-make-a-difference-kd-foundation-color-rush-set-for-saturday-sept-17/article_a7972f9e-3141-11ed-b6cc-77b6b132dafe.html | 2022-09-10T21:07:19Z | wyomingnews.com | control | https://www.wyomingnews.com/rocketminer/steps-to-make-a-difference-kd-foundation-color-rush-set-for-saturday-sept-17/article_a7972f9e-3141-11ed-b6cc-77b6b132dafe.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
I've been driving buses for more than 40 years. By now, getting behind the wheel of a "cheese wagon" has become second nature, although there are certain aspects of the job that are still challenging. (A sudden scream from a kindergarten student on an otherwise quiet ride is something I will never get used to.)
The school bus is like a rolling classroom, full of drama, laughter and "teaching moments." Every student has a set of traits, tendencies and predispositions that can either be endearing or annoying. It is a microcosm of life itself and the way we interact with other people, whether they are strangers, friends, or family members.
One of my favorites -- and yes, I do have favorites (as do we all) -- is a high school student I'll call Maria (not her real name). She is what I would call "relentlessly" friendly. Every morning as she boards the bus she says, "Hi, Mr. C!" Every afternoon as she steps off the bus to go home it's, "Bye, Mr. C!" And every Friday afternoon it's, "Have a great weekend, Mr. C!" Needless to say, I look forward to her being on the bus because her upbeat and engaging attitude warms the heart of this sometimes cynical old man.
We could all take a lesson from her. I find it easy, by nature, to become gloomy and despondent about life in general and it's often hard for me to "look on the sunny side." But seeing a kid like Maria, and knowing it's possible to see beauty and value in others, helps me to do the same.
Being friendly takes practice. Deferring judgment in deference to seeing the inherent dignity and worth of others takes practice. Being nice takes practice. Let's all practice these things. It would probably make our world an easier place in which to live.
"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people..." – Galatians 6:10 (NIV)

FARMINGTON -- Farmington School District, three weeks into the year, already is denying requests from out of district students to transfer into Farmington, Superintendent John Laffoon told school board members at their August 29 meeting.
"We're full right now in a lot of areas and we're turning back students," Laffoon said. "We're full in most grade levels but we are still taking transfers in a few others."
According to information from the administration office, Farmington received 137 applications in the spring from students wanting to transfer into Farmington through the School Choice law. Farmington had 39 students wanting to transfer out through School Choice.
Of the 137 applications, five were rescinded by parents and 22 were denied by Farmington because of capacity.
In all through School Choice for 2022-23, Farmington accepted 55 kindergarten students, five in first grade, six in second grade, 10 in third grade, five in fourth grade, seven in fifth grade, five in sixth grade, 15 in seventh grade, 10 in eighth grade, 10 in ninth grade, seven in 10th grade, two in 11th grade but none for 12th grade.
Laffoon said Farmington's student enrollment is made up of about 25% from School Choice students who have transferred to Farmington over the years.
Laffoon gave out the latest student enrollment figures but said he considers this time of year "false enrollment time" because there's still a lot of student movement. Farmington ended 2121-22 at 2,558 enrollment. Enrollment on Aug. 29 was 2,700 for all buildings.
In action items, the school board approved the budget for the 2022–23 school year, which Laffoon said has additional money for increased costs for technology, utilities, fuel, maintenance and some custodial expenses.
Laffoon thanked the board for giving him the direction to build up the district's legal balance. That has enabled the district to give raises, build buildings and acquire land for a new school, Laffoon said.
"We're going to continue work to address that legal balance and keep it up," Laffoon said.
The 2022-23 budget includes raises for all employees in November, including an increase in the administrative indexes, Laffoon said. He said he believes the district will be able to sustain raises because of property assessments and savings through solar energy. The district has a guaranteed annual savings amount once the solar arrays have been turned on.
The 2022-23 budget shows that Farmington has a beginning balance of $1.5 million. It projects to receive $24 million in revenue, including $7.7 million from property taxes and $13.5 million from the state in equalization aid.
Expenses in the budget are projected at $23.8 million and include $11 million for the teacher salary fund, $9.9 million for the operating fund and $2.7 million for debt service.
The district projects to end the year with a balance of $1.6 million.
After a brief discussion, the board voted to grant a waiver of a disqualifying offense and allow the school to hire Charles Coleman to work in the food service area.
Laffoon explained that Coleman's background check found a forgery conviction from 1994.
Wendy Burrus, food service director, said she has spoken to and met with Coleman on numerous occasions and does not believe he will be a threat to students. She said the forged check was made when he was 22 years to purchase food and all restitution and fees have been paid.
Coleman will be under Burrus' supervision and be on a 30-day probationary period.
He has worked in a restaurant before and his pastor provided a personal reference for him, Burrus said. Her recommendation was that the board grant Coleman a waiver.
State law allows Coleman the opportunity to ask for a waiver and it has to be discussed in an open meeting, Laffoon said.
Board President Travis Warren said, "My gut feeling is that we give this man a chance."
In other action, the board:
• Voted to have school nurse Audrey Eldridge continue as the covid point of contact.
• Approved a bid for wireless access points from Howerton Technology Solutions for the junior high addition for $30,653. Farmington will be responsible for about 30% of this. The balance comes from e-rate funds.
• Approved a second bid from Howerton for about $31,000 for 15 projectors for the junior high addition.
• Granted a 30-foot easement for a cell tower that will be located in a wooded area behind the bus barn. The city of Farmington already approved a permit for this cell tower.

Plenty of sunshine Saturday for Oktoberfest in Fort Smith
Brewery celebrates fifth anniversary Saturday at historic Fort Chaffee
Fort Smith's only beer brewery celebrated a fifth year in business in the Chaffee Crossing area.
And vendors joined the celebration in the historic district on Ellis Street Saturday next to the Fort Smith Brewing Company.
Roy Rogers, wife Alena and children Silas, 4, and Saul, 2, in a red wagon, were found where vendors sold items from knives to plants to artwork. There was pickleball and barbecue even fitness classes Saturday morning.
"We just wanted to check it out. We are usually tied up on Saturdays but we were all free and just decided to come and take a look at everything that is out here," Roy Rogers said.
He said one vendor, Rowdy, makes spray paint art.
"I've got a friend who does painting with like spray cans and stuff and he sells art with spray-can painting and makes some really cool stuff," Rogers said.
German music played on loudspeakers coming from the Fort Smith Brewing Company, where a celebration was expected to last until after dark.
The band Mule Kick Reckoning of Sallisaw, Oklahoma played some classic rock cover songs near food trucks and vendor booths. In the band was Randy Ellis, bass and vocals, Mike Benge, drummer, and Bill Rider on guitar.
Skies stayed sunny through the afternoon as temperatures warmed and the crowd picked up during the afternoon. | https://www.swtimes.com/story/news/2022/09/10/fort-smith-brewery-celebrates-oktoberfest-saturday/68024751007/ | 2022-09-10T21:07:48Z | swtimes.com | control | https://www.swtimes.com/story/news/2022/09/10/fort-smith-brewery-celebrates-oktoberfest-saturday/68024751007/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Arkansas football star DB Jalen Catalon out for season with shoulder injury, Sam Pittman says
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football's preseason All-America safety Jalen Catalon will not return for the Razorbacks in the 2022 season.
After suffering an injury in the season opener against Cincinnati, Catalon did not play in Arkansas' 44-30 win over South Carolina. Coach Sam Pittman confirmed after the game that Catalon will have reconstructive surgery on his shoulder and is out for the year.
Catalon has had bad luck with injuries dating back to last season. He missed eight games in 2021 after injuring his shoulder against Ole Miss, and the redshirt junior was preparing for a big year in 2022. Pittman said Catalon is "down" about the injury, and Pittman is letting him "stay away from the building" while he heals.
Georgia transfer Latavious Brini started at safety in Catalon's stead against South Carolina. He had four tackles and a forced fumble in the win.

Raheim Sanders takes off like a rocket, carries Arkansas football past South Carolina
FAYETTEVILLE — It was an early kickoff, but Arkansas football's running game was wide awake in the Razorbacks' 44-30 win over South Carolina on Saturday at Razorback Stadium. The No. 17 Razorbacks got past the Gamecocks in their first game of conference play.
Arkansas (2-0) got a strong performance from running back Raheim "Rocket" Sanders, and the running game was the difference for the Razorbacks offensively. Arkansas' defense held South Carolina (1-1) to two touchdowns until the fourth quarter while forcing two turnovers despite a depleted secondary.
Here are our key takeaways from the Razorbacks' win.
WR TO TE:How Trey Knox 'stuffing his face' could get Arkansas football back to tight end glory days
NEW STARTERS:Arkansas football's starters in the secondary vs. South Carolina with Catalon, Slusher out
Rocket Sanders blasts off
One week after putting up his second career 100-yard rushing performance, Sanders had his third. Sanders was the star of the first half, scoring a pair of touchdowns on back-to-back drives. He accounted for more than a third of Arkansas' offensive yardage in the first half.
By the third quarter, Sanders had surpassed his career high in rushing yards with almost 20 minutes still left to play. He finished with 156 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.
Quarterback KJ Jefferson was, naturally, a factor in the ground game as well. The Gamecocks struggled to bring him down, often needing several tacklers to stop his legs. He was sacked once for a loss of eight yards and ran for 65 on 18 carries.
Freshman running back Rashod Dubinion got his first touchdown as a Razorback in the second quarter on a 1-yard run. Sophomore AJ Green collected 43 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown on nine carries.
Drew Sanders makes key plays in big spots
Alabama transfer linebacker Drew Sanders was a bright spot in his second game for Arkansas. He made several key plays on South Carolina's early drives, including a big third-down play to hold the Gamecocks to a field goal on their second drive. Later, he ran tight end Jaheim Bell out of bounds for a loss of two, then sacked Spencer Rattler for a loss of eight on the very next play.
Sanders stuffed the stat sheet with 10 tackles, three for loss, two sacks, a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry.
Forcing South Carolina turnovers
Arkansas forced two turnovers late to help put the game away. Safety Latavious Brini, who was starting in place of injured star Jalen Catalon, forced a MarShawn Lloyd fumble in the fourth quarter. Cornerback Hudson Clark recovered it, and Arkansas scored on the ensuing drive with a touchdown catch by wideout Warren Thompson.
On South Carolina's next drive, cornerback Dwight McGlothern picked off Rattler in the end zone. It was the LSU transfer's second interception in as many games and the third Rattler has thrown this season.

Arkansas football grades vs. South Carolina: Razorbacks nearly ace SEC opener
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football has its first SEC win after a 44-30 victory over South Carolina on Saturday. The No. 17 Razorbacks (2-0) used their strong ground game to roll over the Gamecocks (1-1). Despite injuries in the secondary and plenty of penalties, Arkansas forced key turnovers and got big stops early to get past its first conference opponent.
Here's how we're grading each phase of the Razorbacks' game.
Offense: A
Arkansas ran all over South Carolina in the first half, scoring on three of its four drives. All three touchdowns came on the ground, two from sophomore Raheim "Rocket" Sanders and a third from freshman Rashod Dubinion. By the end of the game, all three running backs had scored, and all but one of Arkansas' six touchdowns had come on the ground. Quarterback KJ Jefferson was his usual self, racking up 67 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown while completing 18-of-21 passes for 162 yards.
Defense: A-
Arkansas held South Carolina to nine first-half points, and it did it with two starters missing from the secondary. The Razorbacks gave up one long touchdown pass from Gamecock quarterback Spencer Rattler in the second half, when he found a wide-open receiver over the middle. It cut Arkansas' lead to five, but the offense recovered. Safety Latavious Brini forced a fourth-quarter fumble recovered by Hudson Clark , and Dwight McGlothern grabbed an interception that helped slam the door on South Carolina. The defense gave up some late scores, but it wasn't enough for the Gamecocks to overcome the deficit.
Special teams: A-
There aren't a lot of college kickers who can attempt a 50-yard field goal and be expected to make it. Cam Little is one of them. He missed the long field goal in the second quarter, and while it's hard to fault him for it when Arkansas was already up by almost two touchdowns, the miss still deducts a few points off the special teams grade. Linebacker Bumper Pool made the special teams play of the day, recovering a South Carolina onside kick and returning it to the South Carolina 9-yard-line.
Coaching: B
Arkansas showed guts against South Carolina, going for it on three fourth downs and converting two. But the Razorbacks struggled with penalties all game, committing 10 to give the Gamecocks 122 yards. Three were holding calls, two were pass interference, and the Razorbacks were whistled for illegal hands to the face three times. Arkansas will need to clean up its act as its tough schedule continues.
Overall: A-
Arkansas exploited South Carolina's weaknesses while playing to its own strengths. Jefferson bulldozed his way to a rushing touchdown, Sanders had a career day, and the defensive held up well until the fourth quarter. The penalty problem is concerning, but the Razorbacks got the SEC win in spite of it.

Hassan Shaheed is the owner of the 716ers food truck which specializes in Buffalo, New York-style cuisine such as authentic Buffalo wings, steak hoagies and chicken fingers.
Shaheed spoke with rolling out about the inspiration for the food truck and the importance of generational wealth.
What inspired you to open this food truck?
My son. Once he was born, I thought about generational wealth. This is pretty much the grind for me to pursue generational wealth for my son, give the people a good taste, and give back to the communities through jobs, opportunities, and also volunteering.
Why is generational wealth important?
I feel like this country [in particular] doesn’t allow us a platform or outlet to attain [generational wealth], due to the lack of knowledge through the country’s education system. I think Black people — entrepreneurs and families — have to continue to educate their communities and kids about generational wealth, living and retirement … to support and also provide for ourselves. Nonetheless, I think generational wealth is very important, because [who’s] going to feed our family if we don’t do it?
How does it feel to be a part of Philadelphia’s culture during the Made in America festival?
It’s a blessing. I’m blessed. My team is blessed. We’re all blessed. Coming to Philadelphia, Made in America is one of the top festivals in the United States. I was honored to be there. I’m appreciative and I’m thankful to be able to get my food exposure. | https://rollingout.com/2022/09/10/716ers-owner-hassan-shaheed-plans-to-build-generational-wealth-with-food-truck/ | 2022-09-10T21:08:35Z | rollingout.com | control | https://rollingout.com/2022/09/10/716ers-owner-hassan-shaheed-plans-to-build-generational-wealth-with-food-truck/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The Smithsonian magazine recently announced that Museum Day would be returning this year, which provides free entry to all museums in the United States on Sept. 17. What people don’t know is this could give you free access to other participating attractions as well.
National Museum Day is returning for the 18th year to showcase some of the historical and cultural institutions in the country. This year’s theme, American Experience, will be “a spotlight on wonderful arts, culture, sciences, innovation and history exhibits across the country,” according to a Smithsonian news release.
As the world continues to shift more toward a digital world, museums, zoos, and other attractions sometimes result in being at the bottom of the list of fun activities to do. It’s important to re-instill the significance of historical and cultural attractions not just for kids, but for adults too. Let’s not forget about the art of wholesome fun.
What people aren’t aware of is that Museum Day will also provide free access to zoos and cultural centers throughout the United States. Museums, zoos, and cultural centers are family-friendly forms of entertainment than can also be important learning experiences too. Since it falls on a Saturday, this could make a great family outing, an educational moment for kids, a day with friends, or even a date with a special someone.
Tickets have been available since August, but there is still time to claim a free ticket for yourself. Visit the Smithsonian magazine website to claim your free tickets. | https://rollingout.com/2022/09/10/museums-and-other-attractions-in-the-us-will-be-free-on-this-day-in-september/ | 2022-09-10T21:08:47Z | rollingout.com | control | https://rollingout.com/2022/09/10/museums-and-other-attractions-in-the-us-will-be-free-on-this-day-in-september/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
ATLANTA — Jo Ortega just wanted to do the right thing.
The Georgia State University senior was picking up a Doordash order one night at Popeyes when she saw a homeless man, Jazz Reese, nearby who said he was hungry. When Ortega attempted to order a two-piece meal for Reese, the Popeyes employees wouldn’t serve her and called the police on the student.
Atlanta police eventually arrived on the scene and no arrests were made. Ortega said an officer even thanked her for trying to buy Reese some food. The homeless man was also thankful. The general manager eventually allowed Ortega and Reese to order whatever they wanted for free that night.
@thegirlyjo CRAZY Popeyes in Atlanta would not let me purchase food for homeless! #atlanta #dontletthisflop #fyp #videoviral @popeyes @theshaderoom #FindYourEdge #fyp
Ortega posted clips of the exchange on a now-viral TikTok, then, the story made local news before climbing to the national news circuit on “The Breakfast Club.” At a Stacey Abrams discussion with Charlamagne Tha God, 21 Savage and Francys Johnson, Ortega raised the issue of Atlanta’s treatment of the homeless. After the event, she spoke to rolling out about her next steps in bringing change to the community.
What has the reaction been since you’ve told your story?
I have received mostly positive comments. I do have some negative, but the positive outweighs the bad. I know I’m doing the work here in the community. I’m in connection with the homeless person I helped out, and I’m here because of the other people who are experiencing homelessness as well, to help support them as well.
@thegirlyjo Replying to @thegirlyjo update‼️we found jazz …got him some new clothes and shoes and he’s is off the streets for now.. working on getting permanent housing … I am starting a website for him to sell his art!ShowOShowOffLandOFrostlviralvideon#atlanta[email protected]@[email protected]
What was it like to see Charlemagne tonight- one of the people who put your story on a national platform?
I appreciate all the words and love that Charlemagne used on his platform. I really appreciate it. It was really nice. I enjoyed every moment. I was trying to get a picture with him, but I still just enjoy being a part of the conversation and doing something.
Have you had any conversations with Popeyes’s corporate office since the night of the incident?
Popeyes has not reached out to me for an apology. No one on Popeyes’s end has ever reached out to me … so far.
[NOTE: Popeyes sent a statement to FOX5 Atlanta that the company is “committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect” and the employees have been “retrained.”]
How can people support you?
Great question.
So as the interview said, I’m a senior at Georgia State University. I appreciate all of the letters and all the donations and the positive words. If you want to fund the cost, I have a GoFundMe up to help start my nonprofit. I want to start to help the families that are reaching out to me now.
Also, just continue to support my page. I love all the positive comments. I read all the emails and all of you guys’ personal touches, too. I read all of it and I am appreciative of all of them. So continue doing that, continue reposting the video and liking the video.

PHILADELPHIA – It’s larger than selling T-shirts and hoodies. Walking down Benjamin Franklin Parkway on the way to the Made in America festival, this reporter saw Donnell Lynch and G, both 22, standing in front of an open trunk full of T-shirts and hoodies on hangers.
“We’re just trying to survive, man,” G told rolling out.
The two young men spoke to rolling out about the entrepreneurial spirit of the city of Philadelphia.
Walking to the festival, people were selling Gatorades, waters and Arizona tea. How would you describe the hustle culture in Philadelphia?
G: It’s hard. You just got to put that work in and put yourself out there if you want to go farther with it because it does get difficult.
Lynch: To piggyback off of what he said, it’s definitely hard because we’re in the city where I’m pretty sure, you said you’re from Atlanta, right?
ro: Yeah.
Lynch: Atlanta is probably similar to Philly where people are kind of closed off because there’s a lot of violence and a lot of things going on. When the pandemic happened, a lot of things shifted. Entrepreneurship is definitely harder, but as we said, you got to push and go hard, which we’re trying to do and seeing other people do out here standing and trying to socialize just to get sales. Entrepreneurship life is definitely tough, but if you put the work in and really try to get yourself out there, you will get noticed for sure.
What motivates you guys as young entrepreneurs to succeed?
G: Well, this is my brother, you know? I’m going to support him all the way. We’re going to make sure we get this worldwide.
Lynch: To see people our age, let them know, it’s possible to do something different, to take it really far and go hard. We’ve got kids, too. We [do] it for the kids. It’s all for the kids.
What are guys selling tonight?
Lynch: We have some T-shirts with our main slogan “Don’t Die Wondering” on the front and on the back. We have Love Park T-shirts with a couple of nice little cars. On the sleeve, it says Social Misfit Clothing, Philadelphia PA, EST. 2019, that’s the year we started our brand. Zip hoodies, we also have a studio as well. We have some more stuff like resale sneakers, sweatpants and other cool stuff as well.
Where can people find you all on social media to support and buy?
Lynch: On social media, Instagram, socialmisfit.clothing. On Facebook, Social Misfit. You can find us there.
Do you ship across America?

ATLANTA — Stacey Abrams is siding with the artists.
The Democratic candidate for the Georgia gubernatorial election hosted a community discussion with media mogul Charlamagne Tha God, rapper and philanthropist 21 Savage and civil rights attorney Francys Johnson on Sept. 8.
The discussion touched on a wide range of topics from Abrams’ plan to assist Black men, promote education, support gun control and improve healthcare. One of 21 Savage’s questions, however, was a standout during the candid discussion.
“I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff about candidates trying to shut down studios,” Savage said. “What are you going to do to protect entertainers like me?”
The question comes in the midst of Fulton County District Attorney proudly serving RICOs to groups of artists, using song lyrics in official court documents and indictments as evidence. The most notable case is YSL, with two of hip-hop’s biggest names, Gunna and Young Thug behind bars for nearly four months now. A more recent situation surfaced with a Fulton County cracking down on suspects who were robbing homes of Atlanta’s celebrities, including Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley and music superstar Mariah Carey.
“You do not get to commit crimes in my county, and then decide to brag on it, which you do decide to do that for a form of intimidation, to further the gang and not be held responsible,” Willis said in the press conference announcing the RICO charges against the alleged celebrity burglars. “Just one of the lyrics used in this indictment is, ‘Me and my crew striking out. Striking in all black. Send me the drop, we’ll kick in the house. If we steal a car, we gone take off the tag.
“Well, they’re kicking in doors, committing home invasions, and now I’m using those lyrics that they’re admitting to crimes.”
Abrams didn’t agree with Willis’ approach.
“I have disagreed publicly with the District Attorney about using lyrics as a predicate,” Abrams said. “I’m a writer, I write for a living. People wonder where my money comes from, finally, people started buying my books. I appreciate that thank you, but the reality is we cannot thwart the entertainment industry in pursuit of justice. Now, we need justice, and those who are bad apples need to be held accountable, but anytime you treat everyone as a suspect until proven innocent, you are creating a chilling effect on not only the economy but on trust in the system. So I don’t believe in that kind of blanket approach. I don’t think it has ever worked.”

HONOLULU-HI (KITV-4) Civil Air Patrol Brigdier General Regena Aye and Colonel Chantal Lonergan Civil Air Patrol Hawai‘i Wing Commander were on Good Morning Hawaii Weekends to talk about the Hawai‘i Wing Civil Air Patrol's annual Wing Conference, banquet, fundraiser and change of command, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam on Oahu.
The Civil Air Patrol is the civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force and also a non-profit organization with volunteer members serving in about 1400 locations across the US including here in Hawaii. We have around 600 members in The Islands.

This week fashion designers will convene in New York City to show their work during New York Fashion Week. Scores of celebrities will also be on hand for the week-long event that began on Sept. 9 and will continue through Sept. 14. Although we are only on day one, your favorite stars can be seen shining bright in designer gear from Christian Cowan to Christian Dior.
The designer series kicked off yesterday and here’s what you can expect from a few of our favorite designers.
Telfar, a black-owned brand curated by Telfar Clemens, announced on social media that the brand will partner with a Rainbow clothing store in Brooklyn, NY. Telfar will supply the store with thousands of high-end bags. Usually, when Telfar debuts a new bag, it is launched on the website. Due to the high demand for the brand, the bags typically sell out within the first few minutes. Understanding how difficult it is to secure the bag of your choice without the site crashing, Telfar is now giving consumers an actual shopping experience during NYFW.
I love this for so many reasons, more so for Rainbow. With all these microwaveable fashion brands, Rainbow has withstood the rest of time. Although this is to promote Telfar, it’s such a good look for Rainbow! The niche, affordable franchise gets some spotlight! #Telfar #Rainbow https://t.co/qScSBqvCjr

Fendi, a classic designer brand, will also be participating in NYFW kicking off with a celebratory fashion show, as it is the 25th anniversary of their classic baguette bag. The theme for Fendi’s 2022 fall/winter campaign is embracing femininity while promoting modern women. The campaign has been promoted via Fendi Instagram account, giving buyers a taste of what to expect from the brand this week.

We can expect to see models carrying the stylish and spectacular bags on the runway during NYFW.
As designers and stylists hit the scene in the city that never sleeps, they anticipate each debut and fashion show. You can expect to see your faves strutting in these designer garments and accessories throughout the entire week. | https://rollingout.com/2022/09/10/what-to-expect-for-this-years-new-york-fashion-week/ | 2022-09-10T21:09:18Z | rollingout.com | control | https://rollingout.com/2022/09/10/what-to-expect-for-this-years-new-york-fashion-week/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The San Francisco 49ers activated wide receiver Malik Turner and safety Tashaun Gipson from the practice squad on Saturday. Both players will be available in their Week 1 matchup against the Bears. Under the new practice squad rules, players are allowed to be activated twice from the practice squad before they have to be added to the team’s 53-man roster.
Gipson has long seemed like the most obvious candidate to be activated from the practice squad while the Niners try to get through the early part of the regular season without Jimmie Ward, who is out with a hamstring injury.
A 10-year veteran, Gipson has been a team’s primary starter at safety in each of the last nine seasons, starting in 28 of the Bears’ 32 games over the past two years. However, Gipson has lost a step in coverage over the past couple of seasons and had to settle for an opportunity to be a backup with the Niners. Gipson has made 132 starts over the course of his career and has racked up 563 tackles.
Turner is a speedster who could be an intriguing deep threat for quarterback Trey Lance, but he is an experienced special teamer and is more likely to see the field in that role. Turner entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois in 2018 with the Seahawks. He played in Seattle for his first two seasons before signing with the Cowboys and playing in Dallas in 2020 and 2021. Over his career, Turner has 414 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 29 receptions. | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/9/10/23346185/49ers-activate-tashaun-gipson-malik-turner-practice-squad | 2022-09-10T21:14:29Z | ninersnation.com | control | https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/9/10/23346185/49ers-activate-tashaun-gipson-malik-turner-practice-squad | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
SAN DIEGO (KSWB) – Michael James Pratt, a co-owner of a pornographic website, has now been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
Pratt, 39, is wanted for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to recruit young women and girls to engage in commercial sex acts by force, fraud and coercion, authorities say.
“Pratt is alleged to have been the owner of adult websites ‘GirlsdoPorn’ and ‘GirlsdoToys,'” said U.S Attorney Randy Grossman, who added that Pratt has been charged in the Southern District of California “for sex trafficking crimes, in connection with a scheme to deceive and coerce young women to appear in sex videos on those websites.”
FBI San Diego Special Agent in Charge Stacey Moy said Pratt recruited hundreds of women from all over the United States and Canada between the years 2012 and 2019, and that most of the videos were shot in San Diego, in hotel rooms and home rentals.
Special Agent Moy said Pratt would lure these women with “the false promise of legitimate clothed modeling jobs,” but then often “forced or coerced them into participating in pornographic videos.”
Special Agent Moy added that Pratt would promise anonymity and convince victims that the videos would never be posted on the internet — which would later be found to be a lie.
“Pratt operated these sites as a front to force for commercial sex acts, which generated more than $17 million in revenue for Pratt and his co-hosts,” said Special Agent Moy.
The adult websites are no longer running, but officials say the videos still exist and hundreds of victims are still out there.
A warrant had been issued for Pratt, a New Zealand native, in 2019.
The FBI is encouraging victims to come forward. Anyone with information as to Pratt’s whereabouts are urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or reach out to the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
The FBI is also offering a reward of up to $100,000 for any information leading to Pratt’s arrest. | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/co-owner-of-pornography-website-added-to-fbis-10-most-wanted-list/ | 2022-09-10T21:18:06Z | wspa.com | control | https://www.wspa.com/news/national/nexstar-media-wire/co-owner-of-pornography-website-added-to-fbis-10-most-wanted-list/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida National Guard is getting deployed to state prisons.
Lawmakers on the Joint Budget Commission approved Friday afternoon a more than $31 million request from the governor to use guardsmen for staff support at correctional facilities across the state.
Gov. Ron DeSantis activated the Guard with an executive order shortly after.
State prisons have long been plagued with safety concerns, stressful work environments and low pay. It's resulted in a corrections officer staff shortage across the state. Current estimates from the DOC show a 24.1% vacancy rate.
While new programs boosting pay are helping, during the meeting officials said the incentives were not yet enough. The proposed activation period would last up to nine months to give facilities more time to fill positions.
"We think, as we continue to hire and reduce the stress on the compounds, the existing officers are going to want to stay because they're not going to work that amount of overtime they're currently working," said DOC Chief Financial Officer Mark Tallent. "They’re going to have a better family life, be able to get out of the institution more. We definitely think we're trending in the right direction."
The guardsmen will operate in paid volunteer positions and aren't expected to have any direct supervision of inmates. Instead, the plan calls for "temporary relief to help support current staff and provide the FDC additional time and resources to hire and train new staff…"
Approval was nearly certain as both the GOP majority and governor backed the idea. Even so, some Democrats had concerns.
"Florida has ignored this agency and ignored this problem, and underfunded this agency for years," House Minority Leader-Designate Rep. Fentrice Driskell, D-Tampa, said Friday morning. "Now, it looks like the governor wants to activate the Florida National Guard, which will take people away from their homes, their families, and their jobs."
Worries included the stretching of state resources during a potential disaster, disruption to families for months, and their biggest criticism— it was a high-cost band-aid for a chronic issue.
"We should look at this as an impetus to look forward for the next go around — we looked at the budget beforehand," Rep. Nicholas Duran, D-Miami, said. "We are in healthy shape. There truly are some ideas and opportunities for us to fix this issue."
Leaders with the Florida National Guard tried to ease some of those anxieties. Officials told the commission that volunteers were lined up to meet prison needs without the requirement of direct orders. Also, that activation wouldn't compromise emergency readiness.
The GOP and most Democrats ended up supporting the idea, Duran included. Two voted against the funding allotment, Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, and Rep. Ramon Alexander, D-Tallahassee. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/florida-news/florida-national-guard-to-be-deployed-to-state-prisons | 2022-09-10T21:26:37Z | wtxl.com | control | https://www.wtxl.com/news/florida-news/florida-national-guard-to-be-deployed-to-state-prisons | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Tim Blake Nelson’s Leader Returns in Captain America: New World Order
One of the most frustrating loose ends in Marvel movie continuity will now get tied up. When Marvel recast the Hulk, much of the solo movie The Incredible Hulk seemed to get memory-holed, including a tease that Tim Blake Nelson would become arch-villain The Leader in a future sequel. Well, the future is now, and Tim Blake Nelson’s leader joins several new players in Captain America: New World Order. His Samuel Sterns was last seen with mysterious fluid leaking into a headwound, possibly mutating him. Make that “definitely,” now.
Per Variety, Shira Hass will play Israeli superhero Sabra, while Carl Lumbly will return as Isaiah Bradley, and Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, who in comics becomes the next Falcon. The movie, directed by Julius Onah, hits theaters May 3, 2024.

Onah’s previous film, Luce, told of an all-star Eritrean immigrant athlete and honor student forced to deal with nasty rumors and innuendo about his character. It’s no stretch to imagine he could bring some of that vibe to Sam as Cap.

The Infiltration Begins In the First Secret Invasion Trailer
During the last two Spider-Man movies, we learned that Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury hasn’t been on Earth in years. That’s one of the things that Maria Hill calls him out on when she reunites with Fury in the first Secret Invasion trailer from today’s D23 Expo. However, Fury says he doesn’t have a choice. The shape-shifting Skrulls are everywhere, and they’ve already infiltrated the Earth. And according to Fury, he’s the last person standing between them and what they really want.
There are some familiar faces within the footage, including Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos and Don Cheadle as James Rhodes. It also appears that Rhodes may be more of a politician on this series, since he has his own security detail. Regardless, Fury hints that Rhodes’ men may have already been replaced by Skrulls.
RELATED: Don Cheadle Will Return In Marvel’s Secret Invasion Series
Olivia Colman and Emilia Clarke’s characters make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debuts in the trailer, but without enough info to identify them. There is also a glimpse of Kingsley Ben-Adir’s leading villain when Talos confronts him. Unfortunately for Talos, even a Skrull can be caught off guard by the abilities of his people.
Cobie Smulders also co-stars in the series as Maria Hill, alongside Martin Freeman as Everett K. Ross. Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald, and Carmen Ejogo round out the cast.
Marvel Studios will release Secret Invasion on Disney+ in 2023.

RELATED: Jake Schreier Will Direct Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts Movie
The plot is unknown at this time, but the Hollywood trades keep calling Thunderbolts Marvel’s version of The Suicide Squad. That’s not entirely accurate. In the comics, the Thunderbolts were a group of villains who were pretending to be heroes. However, some of the team members actually enjoyed being heroic and they legitimately reformed. Later iterations of the team were antiheroes or outright villains. But there is no direct correlation between the MCU’s incarnation of the team and their comic book counterparts.
Thunderbolts arrives in theaters on July 26, 2024. Additionally, the film will close out Phase 5 of the MCU. Jake Schreier is attached to direct from a script penned by Eric Pearson.

More Details on Anthony Ramos as The Hood in Ironheart
While D23 Expo had some surprises for Marvel fans, one that likely didn’t shock too many was the reveal of Anthony Ramos as The Hood in Ironheart. Paparazzi photos already showed him on set in the distinctive cloak. All that remained? A confirmation. And we got it, along with some changes to the character as seen in comics.
The Hood’s not typically an Ironheart arch-foe, but in footage described by The Wrap, he sounds like her nemesis this time. As they say, “He appears to be an ally to the young engineer at first, telling her that anyone who’s done something iconic has also had to dabble in some questionable situations. But from there, it quickly becomes apparent that Parker has anything but good intentions, as he flicks his hood into place.” Jim Rash, who played the M.I.T. liaison in Captain America: Civil War, will return to his university post in Ironheart.
RELATED: Marvel’s Ironheart Adds Shakira Barrera To the Cast
Of The Hood, Ramos said, “He wants to take in other misfits and show the world that you looked at us as outcasts but we’re going to end up on top. Parker is … a deep dive into a dark place. But on the inside Parker believes that he’s doing good and Parker has a love for his crew and a love for his people. I’m trying to dance around the plot because I can’t give y’all the deets!”
Added Kevin Feige, “He deals in the dark arts, he deals in magic. We’ve had technological heroes and villains, we’ve had people with magic, we’ve never seen them at the same time.” The Hood typically likes to assemble teams of villains, so maybe he’ll bring in some more.
Ironheart will debut on Disney+ sometime next year. What do you think of Ramos as The Hood? Let us know in comments.

Barbara Ann Boyd
Barbara Ann Boyd passed peacefully on the morning of September 6, 2022 at Oakwood Heights nursing home in Oil City, PA.
Born on July 3, 1935 in Clearfield County, she was the eldest child of James and Rebecca (Cutler) Marshall.
Barb was very close to both of her maternal grandparents and told many happy stories about her childhood visits with them while her parents worked.
Barbara was a good student and a graduate of Franklin High School.
Barb married Donald C. Boyd and they had two daughters.
The family lived in Rocky Grove, Pennsylvania and enjoyed camping trips, fishing and spending time outdoors.
Upon their divorce, Barbara returned to nursing school and took a job as an LPN at Polk Center, where she was well known for her dedication to patient care, witty one-liners and her practical jokes on unsuspecting co-workers.
Barbara worked at Polk Center until her retirement.
Barbara loved country music (Dwight Yoakam was a favorite), Reese’s peanut butter cups, acrylic painting, camping, fishing, sun tanning, TV shows MASH and BlueBloods, cold Coca Cola and spending as much time as possible with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Barb was notorious for making the best peanut butter fudge in Pennsylvania and the worst meatloaf in the world.
She was a proud member of the Franklin Women’s Pool league and never missed an opportunity for a fun brunch with her best friend Norma or a chance to go dancing with her longtime companion, Don Baker.
She lived her life; her way.

Central Clarion Turns to Running Game to Down Struggling Union/A-C Valley, 43-6
CLARION, Pa. (EYT/D9) – Take what the defense was giving them turned into the theme for Central Clarion as the Wildcats used their ground game to the tune of five rushing touchdowns on their way to a 43-6 victory over Union/AC Valley on Friday evening at Clarion University’s Memorial Stadium.
“They kept guys out of the box and were playing the pass so figured we should be able to run the ball tonight,” said Central Clarion head coach Dave Eggleton. “We have a good line, and they created some good holes and our backs took advantage.”
Connor Kopnitsky did the bulk of the damage with 83 yards rushing on eight carries and three touchdowns. Brady Quinn added eight carries for 35 yards with a score while Jase Ferguson rushed seven times for 30 yards with a score. Central Clarion finished with 202 yards on the ground.
“We have a good stable of backs and tonight Connor had a good game for us,” said Eggleton. “He made some nice cutbacks, and we know we have that aspect of our game, and we were able to use that tonight.”

While Central Clarion was firing on all cylinders at times, the Falcons Knights just had trouble all evening getting things going. When they did get something going, they would be either set back by penalties or a turnover as the Falcon Knights threw a pair of interceptions while losing three fumbles.
“We can’t be effective on offense when we’re dealing with penalties and turnovers,” said Union/AC Valley head coach Brad Dittman. “We had some momentum at times, but those little things add up. I know the score at one point was 29-0 and we had the ball around the 10 and we had two plays to score and weren’t able to do it. You have to be able to put the ball in the end zone in that situation.”
Central Clarion (3-0) got the ball first and gained one first down before attempting a fake punt, but was stopped short giving the ball to the Falcon Knights at their own 42.
Jase Ferguson intercepted a Brody Dittman pass on the first play from scrimmage giving the Wildcats the ball back at their own 45.
Seven plays later Ferguson scored from 2 yards out. Thomas Uckert made the PAT for a 7-0 lead with 7:48 to play in the first.
After the Wildcats forced a three and out, Central Clarion took over at midfield following the punt.
Kopnitsky scored his first touchdown of the game with a 50-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. After a penalty on the PAT kick, the Wildcats decided to go for two, and Ferguson connected with Dawson Hotchkiss on the two-point play for a 15-0 lead after one quarter.
“We have a lot of confidence in our defense as they’ve been able to force turnovers all season,” said Eggleton. “Tonight, was no different in that aspect as Jase intercepted two passes, I think, and we recovered a few fumbles.”
An example of how bad things went for Union/AC Valley came early in the second quarter when Ferguson fumbled at the goal line and Bailey Crissman took the ball out to the 30. However, he was stripped and Central Clarion regained control with a first down at the Falcon Knight 34. Ten plays later Kopnitsky scored from four yards out with Uckert adding the PAT kick for a 22-0 lead with 6:27 to play in the first half.
Union/AC Valley turned the ball over on downs giving the ball back to the Wildcats at their own 31. Five plays later Kopnitsky scored from a yard out for a 29-0 halftime lead. A 49-yard pass from Ferguson to Rex set up the score.
A pair of Falcon Knights fumbles led to Wildcat scores in the third quarter. The first fumble gave Central Clarion the ball at their own 43. Eight plays later Brady Quinn scored from two yards out. The PAT kick put the score to 36-0 which set the mercy rule running clock into effect for the remainder of the game with 7:56 left in the third.
The second fumble set the Wildcats up at the Union/AC Valley 38.
This time the Wildcats scored on just three plays with Dawson Smail hauling in a 23-yard touchdown pass from Ferguson to give Central Clarion a 43-0 lead with 2:49 left in the third.
Union/AC Valley finally got on the scoreboard when they took over at the Central Clarion 25 following a punt out of their own end zone.
Owen Bish raced 25 yards for a touchdown with 7:16 to play. The two-point pass failed leaving the score 43-6 which would turn out to be the final.
“We have a lot of football left to play so we need to get things figured out,” said Dittman.
Ferguson finished 9-of-15 for 167 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Rex caught five passes for 110 yards while Smail caught three passes for 51 yards.
Dawson Camper paced Union/AC Valley with 58 yards on nine attempts.
Brody Dittman finished 5-of-15 for 53 yards with two interceptions.
Camper caught one pass for 40 yards.
“We’re 3-0 which is nice, but we still have a long way to go,” said Eggleton. “We’re just looking at trying to go 4-0 next week.”
MONITEAU 20, CAMERON COUNTY 12

Clarion University Volleyball Takes Pair at Wheeling, Improves to 9-0
WHEELING, W.Va. – The Golden Eagle volleyball team continued their roll to start the 2022 season, winning a pair of matches to open the Atlantic Region Crossover. Clarion (8-0) defeated Wheeling 3-2 (20-25, 25-23, 25-22, 20-25, 15-10) and Fairmont State 3-0 (25-15, 25-21, 25-15) at the Alma Grace McDonough Center on Wheeling’s campus.
Clarion 3, Wheeling 2
Recap: The win over the Cardinals snapped Clarion’s 13-match losing streak to Wheeling, and marked the Golden Eagles’ first win in the series since a 3-1 win on a neutral court in 2010. The Golden Eagles needed all five sets to extinguish the Cardinals, a perennial national power that has appeared in the NCAA Atlantic Region Championship in 10 straight years, winning seven times in that span.
Cassidy Snider became just the fifth different player to record 30 or more kills in a match and the first since Julia Holden did it twice during the 2019 season. She also recorded 14 digs for a double-double. Meanwhile, setter London Fuller finished with 78 assists in the win over the Cardinals, the second-highest single-match total in program history. Fuller’s total trails only Jackie Hill’s 84 assists against IUP on Oct. 17, 2000. Lauren Aichinger set a career-high with 18 kills, and Julia Piccolino posted 14 kills and 21 digs. Alyson Peters posted 13 kills, and Abigail Selfridge had 22 digs.
It was Clarion’s first match of the year where the opponent out-performed the Golden Eagles offensively, with Wheeling out-hitting Clarion .315 – .249 in the match. But Clarion was dogged in their resistance, hitting .526 in the final set and recovering from a fourth-set loss to finish off the Cardinals. The Golden Eagles scored three of the first four points of the fifth set, with Aichinger, Snider and Peters scoring kills in order to take the advantage. Allonda Watkins evened things up at 4-4, but Snider and Peters gave Clarion the lead for good with kills to make it 6-4.
Aichinger solo-blocked Mady Winters to put the Golden Eagles ahead 8-5, and a 5-0 run by Clarion made it a 13-6 lead. Piccolino forced set point with a kill at 14-8, and Snider posted her 30th kill of the afternoon with a bomb at 15-10 to win the match.
The Cardinals won the first set 25-20, but the Golden Eagles battled to tie the match in the second set. Wheeling led 14-10 after a kill by Watkins, but Clarion scored four straight to take the lead, with Aichinger scoring on back-to-back points to make it 15-14. Snider posted three straight kills to make it 22-17, and the duo of Aichinger and Amy Regrut blocked Tylah Yeomans to make it 25-23. The third set went back and forth, but Clarion took the lead at 15-14 after a block from Aichinger and Piccolino. A 3-0 run gave the Golden Eagles an 18-15 lead, and Aichinger won the set with two kills to make it 25-22.
Clarion 3, Fairmont State 0
Recap: The match against the Falcons looked much more like the Golden Eagles’ other wins this season, with Clarion out-hitting Fairmont State .283 – .128 and serving them tough for the win. In doing so they dealt the Falcons their first loss of the season, snapping a 10-match win streak for their opponents.
Piccolino had a match-high 12 kills while Aichinger finished with 10 kills and a .500 hitting percentage, with the latter recording just one error in her 18 attempts. Selfridge had a match-high 15 digs while Fuller had 37 assists in just three sets.
Snider and Piccolino ran up an early lead in the first set over the Falcons, with the former recording a kill to make it 7-2. Haley Fledderjohann aced Josie Skinn to bump the lead to 9-2, and Aichinger helped the Golden Eagles win the race to 15 points with a kill to make it 15-7. Piccolino bashed an over-ball by the Falcons to make it 20-13, and an error by Fairmont State gave Clarion a 25-15 first set win. FSU held a 19-16 advantage in the second set, but Clarion came back and seized control of the match with a strong effort down the stretch. Amy Regrut had a kill to break the Falcons’ run, and Hailey Barden pulled the Golden Eagles to within one point with an ace. Fuller broke the tie with a kill at 20-19, part of a 6-0 Clarion run that made it a 22-19 advantage. Peters and Fuller blocked Joey Borelle on set point to make it 25-21.
Things pretty much went the way of the Golden Eagles in the third set, with Clarion opening a 7-4 lead on kills by Piccolino and Aichinger. A 6-1 run bumped the lead to 16-8, and Charlie Allison entered the match and forced match point with a kill at 24-14. The sophomore middle nailed the clincher two points later, bashing a kill to make it 25-15.

Gov. Wolf Announces Universal Free Breakfast Program for 1.7 Million Pa. School Children
HARRISBURG, Pa. – Governor Tom Wolf on Friday announced his $21.5 million plan to provide universal free school breakfast for 1.7 million students across the commonwealth this school year.
“It is completely unacceptable for a child to start the day hungry,” said Gov. Wolf. “I’m taking hunger off the table for Pennsylvania kids by creating the Universal Free Breakfast Program. Regardless of whether or not they qualify for free or reduced meals normally, every student enrolled in public or private schools will have the opportunity to feed their belly before they feed their mind this school year.”
The Universal Free Breakfast Program will go into effect on October 1, 2022, and run through the end of the 2022-23 school year. More than 1.7 million Pennsylvania children enrolled in public schools, intermediate units, charter schools, career and technology schools, and child care institutions that participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs will benefit from this state-funded program.
The $21.5 million program is funded with prior year funding from the School Food Services General Fund appropriation. Interested schools that do not currently participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs can find information for applying on the Department of Education’s website.
“We commend Gov. Wolf and the Administration for their dedication to a hunger-free Pennsylvania. Universal free school breakfast across Pennsylvania helps to ensure every student will start their day with a healthy, nutritious meal,” said School Nutrition Association of Pennsylvania Communications Chair Melissa Froehlich. “Research supports that a well-nourished child who starts the day with breakfast is more likely to be at school, has improved concentration and is more willing to participate in the classroom. Universal free breakfast for all students in Pennsylvania will strengthen child nutrition programs and address equity and stigma around school breakfast so that more children will have access to nutritious meals and set our students up for success in the classroom.”
From March 2020 through the 2021-22 school year, students were afforded free meals from school as a result of waivers approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For two years, nearly 1 million students have eaten for free each year.
Comparing the 2018-19 school year, when free breakfast was not universal, to 2021-22, when school was fully in-person and breakfast was universally free, breakfast consumption increased by nearly 16%. That is 16% of Pennsylvania children that would start their day hungry this year—and that is a number that Gov. Wolf would not accept.

Fake Conversion Play Helps Keystone Rally to Win Wild Game Against Brookville, 20-19
KNOX, Pa. (EYT/D9) – The Keystone Panthers managed to remain undefeated on the strength of a fake-kick 2-point conversion to sink Brookville, 20-19, in Knox on Friday night.
(Above, Tyler Albright had another big game in Keystone’s latest victory.)
The win puts Keystone at 3-0 on the young season while Brookville will continue its hunt for its first victory with an 0-3 record.
In a game in which Brookville led Keystone, 19-12, for a large portion, the Panthers broke through on a risky play call during the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game.
Redbank Valley, Keystone, and Union/A-C Valley sports coverage on Explore and D9Sports.com is brought to you by Heeter Lumber.
As the Raiders led, 19-12, with under seven minutes to play in the final quarter, junior quarterback Rayce Weaver broke out for a long run, scrambling deep inside Brookville territory.
Just less than 30 seconds later, senior running back Kyle Nellis reached paydirt with a 35-yard dash into the endzone to bring the Panthers within a point, 19-18, with 6:15 remaining.
As a Keystone player grabbed a kicking tee from the sideline and the players set up for a kick, all indications pointed towards coach Todd Smith and the Panthers opting for the safe choice of kicking the PAT and tying the game, potentially forcing overtime.
Smith and the Panthers had other plans, however, as Drew Keth rolled out after receiving the snap and tossed the football to Spencer Heeter for a successful conversion, giving the Panthers a 20-19 lead.
“Our guys have a lot of heart and grit,” Smith said. “We knew it was going to be a tough game. (Brookville’s) record didn’t indicate how good of a team they are.”
The Panthers’ defense stayed strong down the stretch, but the Raiders made it close in the end.
As Brookville’s offense marched into Keystone territory in the final minute of the game, a facemask penalty against the Panthers looked as if the tide was turning in the Raiders’ favor.
But, for some reason, confusion broke out on the field and among the referees, players, and coaches.
As the Raider offense was trying to snap the ball, coaches were bartering with referees, players weren’t sure if they should play or not, all while the clock continued to run.
Eventually, the Raiders got a snap off around the 30-second mark before Easton Belfiore was sacked.
After the sack, Brookville head coach Scott Park continued to argue with the referees as to why the clock was running and what exactly just happened.
Minutes later, Brookville was awarded a snap near the 30-yard-line with seven seconds remaining. The ensuing play resulted in an interception by the Keystone defense.
When asked what he saw during the last minute of the game, Smith declined to comment on the situation, saying, “our kids did what they had to do.”
Weaver finished 5-of-10 passing for 132 yards.
Nellis also threw a 52-yard halfback option TD pass to Drew Slaugenhaupt for Keystone’s first score of the game before Tyler Albright caught a 50-yard TD pass from Weaver.
Albright had quite the night with 117 yards receiving, as well as 71 yards rushing on nine carries.
Nellis finished with 100 yards on 13 carries.
Keystone will head to Redbank Valley next week while Brookville hosts Moniteau.

Passing the Test: Big Plays Help Redbank Valley Pick Up Road Win Over Upstart Punxsutawney
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (EYT/D9) — It was a test for both teams.
And, both passed in their own ways.
(Mason Clouse breaks free on his 63-yard punt return for a touchdown/Photo by Madison McFarland.)
In the end, though, the Redbank Valley football team got the higher grade, using two big special teams plays and three touchdown passes from Cam Wagner to beat Punxsutawney, 28-14, on the road on Friday night in a battle of early unbeatens.
“We’re a single-A school that went toe to toe with a good triple-A football team and we got the win,” said Redbank Valley coach Blane Gold. “We’re gonna enjoy the weekend, but obviously we have a real big one next week.”
Redbank Valley, Keystone, and Union/A-C Valley sports coverage on Explore and D9Sports.com is brought to you by Heeter Lumber.
Even with a clash against arch rival Keystone on the horizon, the Bulldogs were focused on Punxsutawney.
And for good reason.
The Chucks were also 2-0 and off to their best start in more than a decade.
Redbank Valley jumped out to a 14-0 lead on the strength of a 63-yard punt return by Mason Clouse early in the first quarter and a 50-yard touchdown pass from Wagner to Aiden Ortz in the second quarter.
Punxsutawney, though, took the Bulldogs’ best punches and stayed standing.
“You just have to tip your cap — they have a lot of skill guys,” said Chucks’ coach Alan Nichol. “They’re all that I was afraid of in their ability to make plays in open space.”
Punxsutawney didn’t abandon its game plan, even down by two scores.
Zeke Bennett had a big day for the Chucks, rushing for 157 yards. His 3-yard TD run late in the first half closed the gap to 14-7.
Wagner connected with Tate Minich on a 22-yard TD on a jet motion pop pass to extend the lead to 21-7 before Punxsy closed again to one score on a nine-yard run by Seth Miller. That came one play after he connected with Noah Weaver for a first down on fourth-and-16.
Redbank Valley put the game out of reach thanks to a punt return by Ashton Kahle to the Punxsy 2. Wagner then hit Minich on another jet motion pop pass for a 28-14 lead.
“It was a good, hard-fought game,” Nichol said. “Those two punt returns were hard to overcome and we had some execution problems, bad handles on snaps and things that you can’t do. You can’t get behind the sticks against a really good team because they bring pressure. That made it difficult for us.
“There are things we need to improve on,” Nichol added. “And I think we can take that next step to be a championship program. The effort was there. The desire was there. The blocking and tackling was good. We were able to compete with them. They definitely knew they were in a game, I know that.”
So does Gold, who said his team also has some things to clean up.
“We’re just a scrappy team that’s pretty fast and we just get tremendous effort,” Gold said. “Offensively, we were sloppy tonight. We went out on downs on the 2 yard line at one point and we had the ball around the 15 and threw an interception, so there’s obviously some things we still need to clean up. We didn’t have a running game tonight — they controlled the line of scrimmage at times. But, you know, a win’s a win and we’ll take that any day of the week.”

TOBY TWP., Pa. (EYT) – A local man who is wanted on arrest warrants is facing a new charge for fleeing state police troopers.
According to court documents, Clarion-based State Police filed criminal charges against 34-year-old Zachery Wayne Steele, of Rimersburg, in Magisterial District Judge Jeffrey C. Miller’s office on Tuesday, September 6.

Midway through Duran Duran‘s night at the Hollywood Bowl, singer Simon Le Bon paused to tease all of us spoiled Southern California music fans forced – horrors! – to stand outside in the ever-so-rare rain.
“You’re lucky, this is just a shower,” the English singer said Friday, the first of three nights for the band at the Bowl. “Where we come from, it’s (bleepin’) biblical. And horizontal. And cold. You lucky, lucky people.”
Which is true in the context of a little rain – OK, a lot of rain – but truer still in how fortunate and fun it was to see Duran Duran deliver such a terrific show some four decades into its career.
After all, how many other acts who broke out of the New Wave and MTV scenes of the early ’80s are still filling the Hollywood Bowl for one night – much less three?
So yeah, it rained, and Simon had his fun with us, but with 19 songs over an hour and 40 minutes, the fans got more than their share of fun, too, with hit after hit alongside strong new songs, too.
The show opened with “The Wild Boys,” or it did after a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, taken by photographer Cecil Beaton on her coronation day, flashed onscreen with a message that the show on Friday would be performed in memory of Her Majesty. (Was the Queen a Durannie? Lady Di was, for sure.)
“Wild Boys” quickly set aside that somber note, racing through its rapid rhythms as the crowd cheered loudly for the four longtime core members of the band: Singer Le Bon, bassist John Taylor, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, and drummer Roger Taylor.
The lyric, “And your telephone’s been ringing while you’re dancing in the rain” also got a big response because, duh, we’re Southern Californians, and OMG, it was literally happening – what are the odds?
And the even bigger hit, “Hungry Like The Wolf” followed, one of three songs in the set from the 1982 album “Rio,” which, thanks to some of the first cinematic music videos and the then-new MTV, broke the band into the big time.
But this 40th Anniversary Tour wasn’t just about the nostalgia for this band and these songs, though certainly that was a big part of the draw.
Duran Duran’s most recent album, “Future Past,” released in 2021, features strong new songs such as “Invisible” and “All Of You,” both of which were slotted near the top of the set, and while they might not have been as familiar, they sounded like they should or could be classic Duran.
Other highlights in the first half of the show included “Notorious,” for which opening act Nile Rodgers of Chic came out to play the tune’s funky riff, and the band’s James Bond theme song, “A View to a Kill.”
We should also note that Duran Duran remain a very colorful and stylishly dressed band. Le Bon wore a pink jacket and sparkly silver pants. John Taylor matched him in a slightly different shade of pink jacket and black skinny jeans. Rhodes might have been the winner, though, in a turquoise suit that glittered in the stage lights.
The band’s self-titled 1981 debut provided four songs in the set, with a pair of them – “Friends of Mine” and “Careless Memories” – somewhat deeper cuts.
Ukraine, which is currently fighting a war against Russia, got a nod when Le Bon dedicated the lovely ballad “Ordinary World” to its people while the blue and yellow flag of that nation fluttered on the video screens on stage.
The final run of the main set took off with “Planet Earth,” the band’s debut single in 1981, and then “The Reflex,” the first of its two No. 1 singles in the United States.
A cover of Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel’s “White Lines (Don’t Do It) had the now-drenched fans dancing enthusiastically, before “Girls On Film,” mashed up here with Calvin Harris’s “Acceptable in the ’80s,” closed out the main set.
The slick funk-disco of Chic was an important early influence on Duran Duran – Rodgers and Chic delivered a terrific opening set of songs he’s been part of with that band – “Le Freak,” “Good Times” – and on his own – “Modern Love,” by David Bowie, another of Duran’s inspirations.
For the encore, Duran Duran were joined by Bowie’s longtime pianist Mike Garson to cover Bowie’s “Five Years,” a lovely treat.
Garson stuck around for the rest of the encore, too. Le Bon dedicated “Save a Prayer” to the Queen, and asked the audience to light up the Bowl with their camera lights, a sight that might have produced chills, or maybe it was just the rain.
Then “Rio,” perhaps the band’s signature tune, wrapped it all up, as fireworks lit the night sky, or more accurately the cloudy drizzle, and the happy crowd shuffled through puddles on the soggy march home.

California Jewelry Store Staff Takes On 6 Suspects Trying to Pull Off Smash and Grab Robbery: Report
Staff at St Vincent Jewelry Center in Beverly Hills sprang into action when six people entered the store and reportedly started smashing glass cases.
When would-be thieves tried raiding a California jewelry store, they were met with employees who decided to fight back.
Video provided to KCBS-TV shows how the staff at St Vincent Jewelry Center in Beverly Hills reacted when six people entered the store and reportedly started smashing glass cases.
Not only did they push the cases to protect themselves, they started throwing things at the alleged thieves, who according to the general manager, didn’t get away with any merchandise.
"The majority of our tenants have the kind of glass that you can't break so they were not successful," said Nejdeh Avedian, who told KCBS the store is run by a family who depends on their income to support three generations.
"So, they're not gonna just sit there and let people take all this jewelry without doing anything," Avedian said.
While a suspect was reportedly detained by security guards and arrested by the LAPD, Avedian added that incidents like this are all too common in Los Angeles.
With a staff willing to fight back if they need to, it seems these suspects picked the wrong store.

Many of Queen Elizabeth II's Beloved Corgis Are Descendants of Dog Gifted to Her on 18th Birthday
Most of the queen's more than 30 dogs descended from Susan, a corgi gifted to her on her 18th birthday.
In so many of the photos of Queen Elizabeth II, she can be seen with her beloved corgis — a breed of dogs she's had since she was a young woman.
The short-legged pooches were the queen’s steadfast companions for nearly eight decades, and they were with her until the very end.
“These corgis definitely had a front seat to history alongside the queen. They saw everyone who came through the palace to meet the queen,” said Erin Hill, senior royals editor at People Magazine.
It all started with Susan, the pup gifted to the queen on her 18th birthday. The lucky dog even tagged along on her honeymoon with Prince Philip. She went on to own more than 30 dogs during her reign, with most of them descending from Susan.
From Susan came 14 generations of corgis, including Sugar, Honey, Shadow, Minnie and the last one — Willow.
Donna Lewis runs Hudson Valley Corgis in New York.
"If it wasn't for the queen, the average person wouldn't know about the corgi," Lewis said.
Queen Elizabeth II left behind four dogs, some of which were gifts from her son Prince Andrew. It remains to be seen where they will go.
The queen herself is also credited with creating a breed of dog called dorgi, a dachshund-corgi mix.

NEW YORK - Storm Sanders and John Peers defeated Kirsten Flipkens and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, 4-6, 6-4, 10-7, to win the US Open mixed doubles title on Saturday. Sanders and Peers are the first Australian team to win a Grand Slam mixed doubles title since Jarmila Wolfe and Matt Ebden at the 2013 Australian Open. They are also the first Australian duo in 21 years to win the US Open mixed doubles title.
"I think we played really well," Sanders said. "Even at the start we had some opportunities on their service games early on, but couldn't quite get the break. I felt like we were playing well enough to even win the first set. Got broken on my serve. Super close, could have gone either way.
"I'm super proud we backed ourselves and just played our game. We just kind of hung around, tried to enjoy the moment, too."

Sanders and Peers won the title in their first major appearance together as a team. Peers, 34, was into his first Grand Slam mixed doubles final in his 32nd Grand Slam mixed appearance. Neither player had ever progressed past the semifinal stage before New York. Sanders' best mixed doubles result came at the 2021 Australian Open, where she reached the semifinals with Marc Polmans. Coming into the US Open, Peers was 0-4 in mixed semifinals before the duo bested Caty McNally and William Blumberg in the semifinals. His best mixed result came at the Tokyo Olympics, where he won bronze with Ashleigh Barty.
Unseeded in the tournament, the Belgian-French duo ousted two of the top four seeds en route to the final. Flipkens and Roger-Vasselin beat No.3 seeds Giuliana Olmos and Marcelo Arevalo in the first round and No.2 seeds Zhang Shuai and Mate Pavic in the semifinals. Flipkens, who announced her retirement from singles at Wimbledon, was playing her first Grand Slam final in any discipline.

Sanders and Peers were the more aggressive team throughout the match, but their inability to convert one of the three break points they earned early in the opening set would spell their doom early. Playing a cleaner, more disciplined set, Flipkens and Roger-Vasselin broke in the seventh game for a 4-3 lead and closed out the opening set with ease.
The second set rolled along on serve until the Australians finally broke through. On their sixth break point of the match, Sanders and Peers earned their first break of the match to seal the second set 6-4 and force a match tie-break.
With the momentum in hand, Sanders and Peers played an aggressive, clean tiebreak to win 10-7. They finished the match with 45 winners to 11 unforced errors. Flipkens and Roger-Vasselin hit 23 winners to 5 unforced errors. Both teams were broken just once in the match, but the Australians were more successful in maintaining return pressure. They generated six break points in the match, while Flipkens and Roger-Vasselin earned two.
"To be honest, I still don't think it's really sunk in," Sanders said. "Even before the match, I was just thinking it's another match, doesn't matter. Amazing opportunity and a great challenge to be playing on the biggest court in the world in a Grand Slam final. Obviously I lost my doubles semifinal yesterday in a close one. I had to kind of let that go and just really focus on today."
Australia has enjoyed a strong Slam season in mixed doubles in 2022. Sanders and Peers were the third Australian duo to reach a mixed final this season, joining Jamiee Fourlis and Jason Kubler at the Australian Open and Sam Stosur and Matt Ebden at Wimbledon. Sanders, 28, has enjoyed a strong doubles season on the Hologic WTA Tour. in addition to the mixed doubles title, she also advanced to the doubles semifinal with Caroline Dolehide.
Sanders and Peers said they are committed to playing the Australian Open together.
"The biggest thing for me is just believing in my game," Sanders said. "Kind of not just accepting that making second or third round is good. For me now I want to go deep, win titles on the WTA Tour, be a consistent Top 10 player in doubles.
"I love the tour life, playing tennis, the challenge. I'm going to just keep trying to go after my goals as much as possible." | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2787677/australia-s-sanders-and-peers-win-us-open-mixed-doubles-title | 2022-09-10T22:15:22Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2787677/australia-s-sanders-and-peers-win-us-open-mixed-doubles-title | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
No.10 seed Alexandra Eala claimed her first Grand Slam junior singles title with a 6-2, 6-4 defeat of No.2 seed Lucie Havlickova in the US Open girls' final. In so doing, she became the first player from the Philippines to lift a Grand Slam junior singles trophy.
Eala had already captured two Grand Slam junior doubles crowns, winning the 2020 Australian Open with Priska Nugroho and Roland Garros 2021 with Oksana Selekhmeteva. However, Eala's previous best performance in junior singles had been a semifinal run at Roland Garros 2020, where she fell to eventual champion Elsa Jacquemot.
Eala, 17, had not competed at junior level since last December's Orange Bowl tournament. Her return paid off after she stormed through all six matches without dropping a set. Only Taylah Preston and Victoria Mboko managed to take her as far as a tiebreak, in the third round and semifinals respectively.
History for 🇵🇭!

In the final, Eala was pitted against Roland Garros girls' champion Havlickova, also 17. The Czech was seeking to become the first player to win two Grand Slam junior singles trophies in one season since both Belinda Bencic and Ana Konjuh pulled off the feat in 2013.
However, Havlickova's attempt to impose first-strike power on her opponent did not pay off. She held the first break point of the match in the fourth game, but Eala saved it with a forehand winner down the line, and the remainder of the set saw Havlickova proceed to bury herself in 21 unforced errors.
Eala broke at the start of the second set as well, and held three points to consolidate it - but three double faults invited Havlickova back into the match, which would be tightly contested from then on. A high-quality second set saw Havlickova combine her power with more accuracy, but it was the left-handed Eala who continued to display more variety and control.
All the emotions for Alexandra Eala.

The 🇵🇭 makes history, winning her first junior Grand slam singles 🏆 in straight sets. pic.twitter.com/j1B1NycZ5r
Eala constructed the best point of the match to hold for 2-2, a dropshot-lob-forehand combination, and her ability to change direction smoothly with her left-handed forehand enabled her to have the upper hand in extended rallies. At 4-4, she also displayed impressive scoreboard nous. Standing well inside the baseline on return to elicit a Havlickova double fault and upping her intensity levels from the baseline, Eala notched the crucial break and served out the win to 15.
Both Eala and Havlickova have already started to make an impact in the pros. No.297-ranked Eala became the first Filipina to both contest a WTA main draw and win a match at that level when she defeated Paula Ormaechea in the first round of Cluj-Napoca last August. This year, her 33-15 pro record includes her first ITF W25 title in Chiang Rai and her first ITF W60 final in Madrid. The career-high of No.280 that she hit in July also made Eala the highest-ranked Filipina ever, a record previously set by former No.284 Maricris Gentz in 1999.

Meanwhile, Havlickova scored her first WTA main-draw victory on home soil in Prague this July, defeating fellow Czech teenager Barbora Palicova 6-2, 7-6(5). She is currently ranked No.577. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2787686/eala-claims-us-open-junior-crown-makes-history-for-the-philippines | 2022-09-10T22:15:26Z | wtatennis.com | control | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2787686/eala-claims-us-open-junior-crown-makes-history-for-the-philippines | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Maybe it will be Poland’s Iga Swiatek who will take the torch from Serena Williams and dominate women’s tennis like the Compton legend once did.
Swiatek sure looked capable of winning many more Grand Slam titles, saving her best match of the fortnight for the U.S. Open women’s final Saturday.
She trounced No. 5 seed Ons Jabeur 6-2, 7-6 (5) in an anticlimactic Ashe Stadium battle.
There wasn’t a whole lot of drama to the end of an Open that thrilled at the beginning of the event with Williams’ farewell tour.
Entering as the No. 1 seed, Swiatek, who had a 37-match winning streak earlier this year, became the first woman since 2016 to win two majors in the same year. The 23-year-old won the French Open in June, the second of her career. This was Swiatek’s first U.S. Open final and she looked like she’d been here before, showing no nerves.
At one juncture, Swiatek reeled off six straight games, bridging the first and second sets, pounding her groundstrokes.
Jabeur, of Tunisia, had advanced to the Wimbledon final in July and hoped she’d learn from that experience. She was the first Arab competitor in an Open final.
Swiatek was too good, however, and Jabeur never stood a chance despite her fifth seeding.
At 4-4 in the second set, Swiatek shook off three break points to hold. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/iga-swiatek-dominates-ons-jabeur-to-win-us-open-title/ | 2022-09-10T22:20:26Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/iga-swiatek-dominates-ons-jabeur-to-win-us-open-title/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The only luck for the Irish on this this day was bad luck.
No. 8 Notre Dame was upset 26-21 by unranked Marshall on Saturday in South Bend.
The Thundering Herd had a 9-7 lead at halftime and, despite Notre Dame going ahead 15-12 early in the fourth quarter, led by 11 with 4:35 to go in the game.
Marshall running back Khalan Laborn ran for 163 yards and two touchdown on 31 carries.
Notre Dame did get on the board through a pair of rushing touchdowns from quarterback Tyler Buchner, but the Fighting Irish signal caller also threw two picks.
It was Notre Dame’s second loss already this season after falling to Ohio State last week. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/no-8-notre-dame-upset-by-unranked-marshall-university/ | 2022-09-10T22:21:04Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/no-8-notre-dame-upset-by-unranked-marshall-university/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Tony La Russa will rejoin the White Sox on Sunday, but not in a managerial capacity yet.
He will be with the team in Oakland, participating in a pregame ceremony to retire Dave Stewart’s uniform number with the Athletics, the team announced.
He has yet to be cleared by doctors to return to the dugout. La Russa, 77, has been out with an unspecified medical issue. In his absence, the disappointing White Sox have woken up, going 8-3 under bench coach Miguel Castro.
“We want Tony to get better and healthy and make sure we’re firing on all cylinders,” closer Liam Hendriks said recently, “but Miggy stepped up admirably into that role.”
La Russa managed the Athletics from 1986-95, winning the World Series in 1989. | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/tony-la-russa-cleared-for-first-appearance-since-heath-scare/ | 2022-09-10T22:21:28Z | nypost.com | control | https://nypost.com/2022/09/10/tony-la-russa-cleared-for-first-appearance-since-heath-scare/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

The No. 1 seed cruised in the opening set, topping No. 5 seed Ons Jabeur 6-2 to start their match Saturday afternoon at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

One of my favorite genres to read is family dramas. These fictional stories often feature multiple generations and sometimes multiple perspectives. These books take you inside the minds of the main characters, revealing their histories, motivations and innermost thoughts, while focusing on their relationships with their families.
I recently read “Carrie Soto is Back” by Taylor Jenkins Reid. In this fast-paced novel, 1980s tennis star Carrie Soto holds the record for winning the most slams (tennis competitions). She retired at the height of her career after a serious knee injury, but now it’s 6 years later – the mid 1990s – and the next big tennis champion is challenging her record. Carrie, age 37, is determined to make a comeback and defend her record. Carrie was raised by her father – and coach – Javier to be relentless in her pursuit of excellence. But what if she can’t win any more? And if she does win, can she keep winning forever? Filled with play-by-play tennis games, this is also the story of Carrie’s loving relationship with her father. For another great family drama by Taylor Jenkins Reid, try “Malibu Rising,” the story of four surfer siblings living in Malibu in the 1980s.
“Last Summer at the Golden Hotel” by Elyssa Friedland was the perfect summer read for me. It features two families who, together, started a hotel in the Catskills decades ago. Fast forward to the present day: the golden era of Jewish hotels has passed and the extensive buildings (roller rink, auditorium, and more) and grounds are crumbling. The families have received an offer of purchase for the Golden Hotel, and three generations converge on the hotel for their annual summer vacation to decide its fate.
At a book club last month, one of my reader friends recommended “L.A. Weather” by María Amparo Escandón. I was immediately drawn into this family saga about the Mexican-American Alvarado family. The Alvardos and their three adult daughters live in Los Angeles. Matriarch Keila announces that she is divorcing her husband of many years, Oscar. He’s become increasingly disengaged and spends his time staring disconsolately at the television, tracking the weather. The girls ask their mother to wait a year and spend it trying to save their marriage. Meanwhile, Keila’s daughters have domestic troubles of their own. I loved the Spanish words and food, as well as the Jewish traditions, that permeate this book. Escandon makes the setting an integral part of the story. You feel what it’s like to live in LA – the traffic, the fires, etc.
To readers of historical fiction, I recommend “The Cazalet Chronicles” by Elizabeth Jane Howard. This is one of my favorite series. The first book in this series,“The Light Years,” introduces you to the Cazalets, a close knit, well-off British family. The series follows three generations of Cazalets: the Duchy and the Brig, their four adult children and their many grandchildren. In the beginning of “The Light Years,” their family is spending the summer at their country home outside of London. It is just before the onset of WWII and the family anticipates that they may need to leave their year-round dwellings in London for the safer countryside. The Cazalets feel like real people and it is a treat to follow them through the years before, during and after WWII.
For a book set in both the present and the past, I enjoyed “This Time Tomorrow” by Emma Straub. On her 40th birthday, Alice discovers a portal back in time. It always takes her to the same time, her 16th birthday, an apparently pivotal moment in her life. Alice’s life is pretty good, but her only family, her father, the beloved author of a bestselling time travel novel, is dying, and Alice isn’t sure she made the right choices in life. Now she might have a chance to change that. This novel reminded me of “11/22/63” by Stephen King, in that Alice spends a lot of time in the past, trying to change the future. This is a fun book that will make you think about the choices we make, all the while you are rooting for Alice and her dad.

As we traverse through life, I think most of us ponder and wonder about our purpose — the reason for our experience on the planet at this particular time. What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of me? (Gulp.)
I’ve pondered this question quite a bit, feeling a little inept in my answers. I long for a grand and important purpose — to change the world for the better. But the honest answer is I’m just a normal human living life in abject anonymity — and quite liking it that way, thank you very much.
On one level, I believe I should aspire to have a grand and world-changing purpose. On another, maybe being average and obscure has a purpose in it as well.
Maybe not everyone is supposed to rise to the level of Mother Theresa or Mahatma Gandhi. Maybe doing the best in the everyday can and does make the world a better place — even if it is only a little bit at a time.
So, instead of going for the grandiose purpose, maybe we take it to a smaller scale. Instead of life-altering, perhaps appreciating and maximizing on each moment is a purpose in and of itself.
Maybe miracles are all around us — every day, in every moment — if only we open our eyes, our senses and our souls.
Our moments combine to make weeks, months, years, decades. Lifetimes. They are ours to discover. Moment by moment by moment.
Take them all in. Take each of them in. Notice. See. Breathe. Appreciate. The reality, the magic, the miracles — they are all there in front of you, yours for the taking.
The clouds forming random patterns of beauty. Appreciate that.
The unexplainable, yet very real feeling you get deep inside yourself when you provide a kind gesture or reach out in kindness to a random person because your heart pushed you to do so.
Moments spent with those people with whom you have a deep, lasting soul connection — however brief or lasting. Laughing. Crying. Just being — together.
The sun glistening on water — whether it’s a lake, river, ocean or a puddle in the middle of a roadway.
Color, and the ability of each of us to choose a favorite one.
People, and the ability of each of us to choose favorite ones.
Trusting yourself, because you truly deserve it.
Trusting others, because they’ve earned it and truly deserve it.
Trusting life, because it is good, if you allow it to be.
For new beginnings — because they are possible at any time in life.
For endings, because they lead to new beginnings.
For middles because they are the ooey, gooey and sometimes best part.
The smell of springtime when the snow is melting and everything is coming back to life.
The smell of bacon and coffee on an unencumbered Saturday morning.
Hearing a song that reminds you of a beautiful time long gone.
Hearing a new song that touches your heart without you ever expecting it.
Understanding and appreciating the basics: love, life, gratitude, appreciation, bliss, true happiness, empathy, kindness, wisdom from within, peace and love (again.)
Understanding and appreciating the details: bees pollinating, birds singing, cats cuddling, holding hands, children’s laughter, a calm day on the lake, paying the bills, clean laundry, a breath of fresh air, bare feet on a sandy beach, a new hair cut, a new friend, a new life.
Understanding and seeing it all and living it all is yours for the taking — in each moment. String them together to make a lifetime — to not only find, but to create your true purpose.

It’s a busy Wednesday, you just knocked off work, or finished your to-do list and all you want to do is take a break. You sit down on the couch, pull your phone out and start scrolling because scrolling is “mindless.” But, wait, a half hour later your head does not feel cleared, in fact, it feels fuller than before! Everything still feels as hectic as it did before you sat down!
Now, let’s reshape this scenario.
It’s a busy Wednesday, you just knocked off work, or finished your to-do list and all you want to do is take a break. You find a trail just off the beaten path. The fresh air heightens your senses and you notice just how green the leaves look and the flow of the river over the rocks. It takes you a moment to realize how calm you feel and the clarity you now have. You feel refreshed and ready to carry on with the rest of your day with a sense of peaceful confidence.
According to Michelle Kondo, a research social scientist with the USDA Forest Service’s Northern Research Station, “The physiological response to being outside in nature is real, and it’s measurable. There are many physical and psychological benefits of nature that scientists have observed, which can better help us understand how nature supports wellness in the body, mind and community.”
Studies have shown that being outside is relaxing, reduces stress levels and decreases heart rates. Outdoor time can also restore our ability to focus and pay attention while also lowering the risk of depression. While our rural area does not have the air pollution and noise that bigger cities do, nothing beats the fresh air and quietness of nature.
Outdoor environments, even in urban areas, are motivating for people to get outside and exercise. From city parks to river access to trails and lakes Minnesotans have limitless outdoor opportunities just a few minutes away.
Spending time outdoors doesn’t always mean strenuous exercise. The benefits of being outside far outweigh being inside. Biking, running and hiking are great options and so are sitting and observing, meditating, stretching, and just being.
Winter time can be hard in Minnesota, with the decreased sunlight time and the cold, snow and ice, getting outdoors can be challenging! However, outdoor time is just as important during the winter months. Activities in the cold months can include walking, finding a spot to sit and listen to nature, sitting near a bonfire, and many of the winter sports. Just a few minutes outside every day can help boost your mood and calm your mind.
Finding nature in our lives is important at all ages, infants to the elderly. It helps boost your self-esteem, can help you become more fit, and is a great social connector to the wide world around you and also with friends and family.
The beauty we have in Minnesota is a sight to behold. When we get outside we connect with our inner selves on a deeper level. When we are calm and able to focus, the stressors around us start to shrink, our interactions with others are more positive and the world around us is happier.
Find a way to connect with nature in your week, all the benefits of the great outdoors have a positive impact on your health and wellness. Our bodies, minds, and community deserve the gifts of fresh air.

Now that school and the harvest have begun it is important to make safety a priority. Seems like this time of year everywhere we go there is either a school bus or large piece of farm equipment around the corner. The number one thing to know is that anything can happen anytime. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, tractor accidents cause the highest number of fatalities on farms. Tractor overturns account for 44 percent of all tractor fatalities. That’s just the tip of the iceberg because there are many other types of accidents on farms. According to worksafebc.com the top five claims by accident type are fall to a lower level, fall on the same level, struck by object, caught in/compressed and other. Farm surveys indicate that the injury rate is highest among children aged 15 and under and adults more than 65 years old.
As far as school bus accidents go, Minnesota fairs pretty well. According to dps.mn.gov in Minnesota, school buses make at least 10,000 school bus trips daily and there were 2,773 traffic crashes involving school buses from 2016-2020. Only 225 school age children who were riding in a school bus were hurt during that time frame with only one fatality. That puts Minnesota in the middle of the pack nationally. The worst states for bus safety are California, New York, Texas and Florida. However, they also have the most populated metro areas in the nation.
The good news regarding school buses is that according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, they are the safest mode of transportation for children and are eight times safer riding in a bus to school than any other vehicles. However, that does not mean you get to let your guard down. One quick moment in time can change the lives of the children and you in an instant. I recall that one time an insurance agent told me that the best thing to do when you see a school bus is to go the other way to avoid it all together. That makes a lot of sense and can probably be applied to other situations as well such as farm equipment or events where there is a lot of traffic etc.
Please make safety a priority and remember that anything can happen anytime.

Family members and friends of the late Roger Sinner paid tribute to a star Fergus Falls Otter athlete from the late 1950s at Thumper Pond in Ottertail city on Sept. 2. Sinner was 82 when he died earlier this year in Colorado.
Tom Greenagel, close friend, fellow Otter athlete and hunting buddy of Sinner paid special tribute.
“Roger and I became friends way back in 1950 at Adams School,” Greenagel said. “He was always there for his friends, in good times and challenging times.”
Sinner is best remembered as a pitcher for Fergus Falls High School and also for the town baseball team that took second in the state tournament in 1960. That same year he signed a contract with the San Francisco Giants and played minor league baseball for four seasons.
He also was a star athlete in high school football and basketball. Former teammates recall Sinner making others around him better athletes.
Greenagel recalls Sinner as part of a classic football play that kept an Otter football 21-game winning streak alive, before the days of high school playoffs.
Fergus Falls, in the fall of 1957, in Thief River Falls, trailed 26-25 with just over a minute remaining in the game.
Tom Glorvigen, Otter sophomore quarterback, rolled back, spotted wide receiver Sinner and connected with the Otter senior. Sinner was hit from behind but before being tackled he tossed a lateral to junior running back Tim Cashman.
The fleet-footed Cashman headed for the goal line and outran Prowler defensive back Dave Rasmussen.
That 21-game win streak included the final two Otter football games in 1954, the 9-0 season in 1955, the 8-0 season in 1956 and the first two games in 1957.
“The play was 128 counter crisscross bootleg pass,” Greenagel recalls. “Tom (Glorvigen), Roger (Sinner) and Tim (Cashman) ran it to perfection.”
Sinner, the following summer, played in the high school all-star football game in the Twin Cities.
Fergus Falls retiree Harley Oyloe, Sinner’s American Legion baseball coach, says that Sinner was not only a gifted athlete but also was a hard worker in becoming an outstanding pitcher.
Sinner and Oyloe both were charter members of the Fergus Falls Sports Hall of Fame in 1986.
Sinner was a junior reserve when the Otter boys went 27-1 and won the third-place trophy at the 1957 state basketball tournament in the Twin Cities. The Otter head coach was Duane Baglien.
A year later, in 1958, Sinner was a senior starter for the Otters, coached by Lowell Noack. Fergus Falls just missed a return trip to the state basketball tournament.
Greenagel was a junior member of that Otter basketball team that upset the Moorhead Spuds in the District 23 finals and lost a heartbreaking overtime game to Brainerd in Region 6 competition.
Another member of the Otter 1958 basketball squad was Pete Hoff, hunting buddy over the years with Sinner, Greenagel and others.
Sinner’s son, Greg, a minor league pitcher like his father, said that over the years his father mentored athletes to cherish wins but also to learn from defeats.
Roger, after high school graduation in 1958, enrolled at Eastern Oklahoma State College with a football and baseball scholarship. He was an all-conference end in football and later starred on the college baseball field.
It was in Oklahoma where he met his future wife, Bettye, the daughter of a rancher. The couple married and later raised three children.
Sinner, after his baseball minor league career, attended Oklahoma State University and obtained a degree in animal science. The family lived in Indianapolis where Sinner worked in the animal health division of Eli Lilly & Company.
After retirement he lived in Oklahoma, East Battle Lake and Colorado.
Sinner’s parents were the late Ralph and Gertrude Sinner. He had one brother, the late Gregg Sinner. | https://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/opinion/roger-sinner-brought-out-the-best-in-people/article_7e7c34ac-2ff6-11ed-a91b-8feceb191b90.html | 2022-09-10T22:27:58Z | fergusfallsjournal.com | control | https://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/opinion/roger-sinner-brought-out-the-best-in-people/article_7e7c34ac-2ff6-11ed-a91b-8feceb191b90.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
I read in the Journal about Fergus Falls schools starting last Tuesday and all the rules about Chromebooks, personal computers, cell phones and what happens if you use them inappropriately. I learned about turning in one’s cell phone prior to traveling to the counselor, nurses’ office or the restroom; how students need to lock up their devices prior to leaving the classroom. So many rules for phones, ear buds and headphones. Since these technological devices didn’t exist in my day our rules were quite different.
Many of my friends share shocking stories regarding the rules for female apparel. Apparently, in most schools in my day, girls were not allowed to wear slacks in school, except when it was extremely cold. Then they could wear them under their dress but must remove them once they entered the building. School District 544 must have been an anomaly because we had no such rule. If there was one, it was not enforced. At any rate, I don’t recall any rules regarding dresses or length of skirts. Many women tell tales of having to kneel on the floor to verify their skirt was long enough. If the fabric did not touch the floor they had to go home and change clothes. I often wondered what the girls who rode the bus to school did in those circumstances. If anyone had that experience, I would love to hear about it. My email address is abackwardglance17@gmail.com.
By the time I was in junior high the rules for girls and boys were: tops needed to reach to bottoms; no skin showing. Undergarments needed to be covered with opaque clothing. For the most part shorts were not appropriate. No unnecessary items came into the classroom.
I remember writing about clothing rules in ninth grade. I met with the assistant principal to learn what the dress code rules were and was told that students are expected to dress conservatively so other students could concentrate on their studies. In those days maxi skirts were popular and the AP approved of them. For the most part, skirts had gotten so short that almost everyone wore pants. It was just not comfortable to try to sit at a desk with a skirt that just barely covered your butt. I think those tiny little skirts were the nail in the coffin for dresses in school. One thing that was not allowed was foul, vulgar or otherwise distracting words on clothing. If I remember correctly, the idea of clothing being a billboard for one’s opinions was only beginning to surface. Slogans like “Peace” and “Make love not war” were just launching in the clothing industry. Students wearing inappropriate items were asked to turn them inside out, remove them entirely (if that were possible) or go home and change clothes.
What could we bring to class? Now that was an entirely different story. Hats were not allowed. Other than books, pens, pencils and paper, we never considered bringing anything else. Nowadays water fountains have water bottle refill capabilities. Back then we didn’t think to bring a beverage to class. No candy was allowed and absolutely, positively, do not get caught chewing gum. I had to stay after for an hour and scrape gum off chairs. It only happened once, I hated scraping gum, to say nothing of the humiliation of getting caught.
When my kids were in school, there were no firm dress code rules that I’m aware of. Dresses had lengthened by that time and girls almost exclusively wore the uniform of the day: blue jeans and t-shirts or sweatshirts. If a student’s clothing was too distracting, they would be sent home to change. No foul language could be worn on clothing. Hats, if worn in some classrooms, were confiscated by teachers. Some of those hats were never returned! Others were returned at the end of the school day. My son forgot to remove his Otters cap for first hour class one day and lost it. He came home fit to be tied. I suggested he go before or after school and talk to the teacher, an apology might make a difference. I don’t remember, but I think he got it back.
Yes, indeed, the rules when I was a teen were limited, but unwritten expectations of both clothing and behavior were high. Everyone knew respect for teachers was a given, and if you messed up in school, for most kids it meant big time trouble at home. Now the expectations are quite different and rules must be spelled out explicitly. Times have changed.
What were the school’s rules for clothing in your day? Wouldn’t that be a great mixer question for a party! Especially if people are different ages or from different areas or schools. But it would also be a good topic for grandparents to share with their grandkids. I used to laugh at my dad’s stories of how hard things were when he was a kid. I’d say, “Yeah, Dad, and you had to walk two miles to school every day, uphill both ways!” We’d laugh at my joke, but in reality, I treasured those stories. They were as precious as diamonds.
Share with your family what school was like when you were a kid, grade school and high school. Tell stories of the things you did! They will be amazed and entertained. Maybe it hasn’t been all that long, but my, how things have changed! | https://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/opinion/school-rules-so-much-has-changed/article_c954c406-2ff8-11ed-8099-ff5343e635ab.html | 2022-09-10T22:28:04Z | fergusfallsjournal.com | control | https://www.fergusfallsjournal.com/opinion/school-rules-so-much-has-changed/article_c954c406-2ff8-11ed-8099-ff5343e635ab.html | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
You're going to have to keep calling it Indiana Jones 5 for a little while longer. A presentation of the first footage from the film was shown at Disney's D23 Expo, but the title card only identified it as “Indiana Jones.” Exactly what the intrepid researcher is seeking will remain a mystery for now.
The film was announced in 2016, and planned for release in 2019. Spoiler: That didn't happen. The movie that would return Harrison Ford to his most iconic role as the whip-snapping archaeologist remained on the schedule for 2021, but that didn't come to pass either. Then Steven Spielberg stepped back as director with Ford v. Ferrari filmmaker James Mangold taking over, and cameras finally started rolling.
Now the movie is in the can and destined for theaters next summer, on June 30—scout's honor. Mangold told the crowd he was working with composer John Williams yesterday on the score for the film.
“I’m very proud to say that this one is fantastic,” Ford told the audience. “And this is one of the reasons,” he added, pointing at Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the film's female lead, who said, “I've had the time of my life making this movie. Keeping up with this guy is exhausting.”
Choking up at times, an emotional Ford pledged that this will be his last time as the character. “Maybe for the last…” he started, eliciting cries of “no!” from the crowd. “Not maybe,” he emphasized. “This is it. I will not fall down for you again.”
The teaser footage featured Jones reuniting with his old friend Sallah (John Rhys-Davies), and facing down a roomful of toughs alongside Waller-Bridge. The hero cracks his whip repeatedly in the scene, yelling for the thugs to “Get back,” but they respond by all drawing their guns—a callback to the original Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the swordsman who dazzles with his bladework before Jones casually shoots him.
The new Indy film was just one of the titles highlighted at Disney's D23 Expo on Saturday, following a day showcasing its lineup of princess-centric projects—live-action versions of The Little Mermaid and Snow White, and a new animated feature Wish.
Other News From the D23 Expo
Val Kilmer’s swordsman Madmartigan will not be in the new show based on the 1988 Ron Howard movie Willow, but star Warwick Davis told the audience “an old friend of his” will appear. Christian Slater came onstage to announce he is taking on an unspecified role in the series, debuting on Disney+ Nov. 30th.

Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury looks worn out. But also, strangely better. At the very least, he has his eye back.
In the first trailer for the Marvel Studios Disney+ series Secret Invasion, the longtime protector of the planet, known for uniting the superheroes known as the Avengers, appears to be done relying on others to help save the world.
“This is my war. Alone,” he says. “I'm the last person standing between them and what they really want.” The “them” appears to be the Skrulls, those green, pointy-eared alien shapeshifters we first encountered in Captain Marvel. Back in that story, set in the mid-1990s, they were the unexpected good guys, refugee aliens seeking help rather than conquest.
Now, it seems the creatures who can make themselves look like anyone have infiltrated the governments of the world and taken over without a shot fired. That's the premise of the Marvel Comics that inspired this story, at least. Twists and turns are expected when it starts streaming on Disney+ in 2023.
Footage from Secret Invasion screened at Disney D23 Expo on Saturday, as Marvel showcased the next few years of its slate. It also features Oscar winner Olivia Coleman as a concerned world leader (or is she a Skrull?), Ben Mendelsohn returning as Talos (definitely a Skrull, but a good one), and Kingsley Ben-Adir as a man whose entire roomful of security morphs to look exactly like him (if he's not a Skrull, the others definitely are.)
Ironically, there was more Nick Fury to be found in the teaser (which hasn't yet been released to the public) for next summer's …
The Marvels
This sequel to Captain Marvel unites Brie Larson's galactic protector Iman Vellani's young fangirl Kamala Khan from the Ms. Marvel show, and Teyonah Parris' now photon-powered Monica Rambeau from WandaVision. “Monica got powers—or something—so we're going to see how those pop off in The Marvels,” Parris told the D23 crowd.
At the end of Ms. Marvel, Khan disappears in a flash of light and is replaced by Captain Marvel, who has no idea why she is in a teenage earthling's bedroom. In footage of director Nia DaCosta's The Marvels, we see a younger, more energized Nick Fury in a space station, guiding Rambeau on a spacewalk to examine a glowing, orbiting anomaly. | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/marvel-thunderbolts-secret-invasion-nick-fury-eye | 2022-09-10T22:31:11Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/marvel-thunderbolts-secret-invasion-nick-fury-eye | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
King Charles III’s first act in his new position already has some unexpected critics. People on the east coast of the United States who were trying to watch Days of Our Lives on Friday found their show preempted by NBC, which switched over before it ended to carry the king’s speech live.
“Oh, so what,” you might be thinking. “This is historic, and that show’s been on the air for 57 years—can’t people skip one episode?” And therein lies the rub. Friday’s broadcast was, indeed, the final chapter to play over traditional airwaves. The program’s new home, beginning Monday, will be on the streaming service Peacock.
As reported by Deadline, just as Camila Banus’s character Gabi entered a mausoleum (to dish on a new love interest to an older, less-alive love interest) the British monarch barged in.
Thursday’s penultimate episode, which was bumped because of news of Queen Elizabeth’s passing, aired Friday morning at 3 a.m. In the New York market, the final episode was moved from the typical 1 p.m. slot to noon in a failed hope to squeeze it all in.
Deadline reported that a show representative said the episode would re-air, but this writer is having trouble determining just when it is scheduled—one can only imagine how the nation’s grandmothers are faring.
The frustration some viewers felt made its way to Twitter.

One of the great strengths of the new film The Woman King, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, is how keenly it knows its dimensions. It proudly wears both its old-fashioned construction—this is a sword-and-sandal epic in the style of yesteryear—alongside the freshness of its perspective. An action-drama sourced from history (while riffing considerably on that history), The Woman King is a sturdy testament to how renewed a staid form can feel when it’s stretched to include different narratives.
Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, The Woman King is set in the 1820s in the kingdom of Dahomey, in what is now Benin. Slavers from Europe and the Americas have ravaged the land and its people and stoked wars between West African empires. A young Dahomey king, Ghezo (John Boyega), sits on the throne. He's entertained by a coterie of wives, leaving the tough stuff, the fighting and dying, to the Agojie, a legion of female warriors renowned for their military prowess.
Dahomey has grown rich by participating in the slave trade, which puts it in uneasy moral context. The Woman King is aware of that fraught history, and takes care in addressing it. What could be a blunt and thrashing battle film is instead given thoughtful texture by Prince-Bythewood, screenwriter Dana Stevens, and a strong ensemble of actors. Ostensibly at the lead is Viola Davis, a titan of the entertainment industry who nonetheless has been given precious few opportunities to headline a studio film like this. As Nanisca, the general of the Agojie, Davis is in her stentorian element, stern but accessible.
Perhaps the true protagonist of the film, though, is Nawi (Thuso Mbedu), a headstrong teenager handed over to the Agojie by her disapproving father. Thus begins her training, which The Woman King depicts in scenes warmly familiar to fans of all sorts of films, from Spartacus to Top Gun. Mbedu, such a commanding revelation on The Underground Railroad, sharply illustrates both Nawi’s impetuous independence and her dawning sense of duty to her sister-warriors. She has an invaluable mentor-friend in Izogie (Lashana Lynch), while Amenza (Sheila Atim) provides wise counsel—and gives a little pushback—to Nanisca.
While The Woman King enjoys the company of these formidable women, it does not let us forget that they will soon be fighting for their lives. Dahomey is threatened by its bitter rivals and oppressors, the Oyo, who sell captured Dahomey people to slavers, disappearing them on boats and slowly decimating the community. (Dahomey does the same to its captives, it must be said, however much Nanisca hopes to end that practice.) For a film that has been marketed as a rumbling combat movie, The Woman King is surprisingly, but not disappointingly, sparing with its action. When tensions do give way to violence, Prince-Bythewood employs the same intuitive physics that lent such snap to The Old Guard.
The fighting registers that much more potently because we have spent so much downtime with these women of war. Even so, Nanisca could be more fleshed out. There’s a trauma in her past that comes to bear mightily on the present, but the film doesn’t do enough to hone and deepen that story. Nanisca remains elusive, despite Davis’s magnetic presence.
A perfunctory romance—or something close to romance—that’s shoehorned into the film should either have been tossed out entirely or more thoroughly developed. It sometimes seems as if The Woman King is straining to contain its ambition, reluctant to blow things up to the maximalist scale of a true, three-hour epic. I wish that Prince-Bythewood (and her backers at Sony) had just gone for it, swelling the film to allow proper room for its many characters and tangling plotlines.
It’s there, maybe, where some studio skittishness can be detected. The film has a relatively modest budget (a reported $50 million) for something of this scope, and perhaps there was a tacit directive to keep things as trim as possible. Which is a shame. A great movie glimmers at the edges of a good one, a shadow of what could have been, had The Woman King been afforded the time and resources to realize its full potential.
Still, what’s been delivered is solid, righteous entertainment, cognizant of troubled history but editing and manipulating just as so many period films about Romans and other conquerors have done for decades. The Woman King stands confidently in that tradition, while offering the thrill of the new. How exciting it is to see onscreen a place and people—a whole grand saga of civilization—that have never before been given that treatment. The Woman King reminds us of how much unclaimed territory there is yet to explore on film of any genre, planting its flag firmly in long-unacknowledged earth. | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/the-woman-king-review-awards-insider | 2022-09-10T22:31:23Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/09/the-woman-king-review-awards-insider | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
The legal team of former President Donald Trump and the Justice Department submitted their picks on Friday for a special master, who will review the documents seized in the August Mar-a-Lago search.
According to a court filing released Friday, each team put forth two candidates for special master. The DOJ proposed Barbara S. Jones—a retired judge who served as special master in an investigation of former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani—and Thomas B. Griffith—a retired appeals judge for the District of Columbia Circuit and former chief legal officer of the Senate.
Trump’s team proposed Raymond J. Dearie—the former chief judge of the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York and a former judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court—and Paul Huck Jr.—the former deputy attorney general for the state of Florida and former general counsel to Florida’s governor.
According to the filing, both sides will provide their stances on the other party’s suggested candidates to the court on Monday, September 12.
Legal experts have been giving their takes on the proposed candidates. Andrew Weissmann, a lead prosecutor in the Muller investigation, wrote on Twitter that he thought Judge Dearie, one of Trump’s candidates, would be a great pick for both sides: “DOJ [would] be wise to agree to Judge Dearie on the Trump list—and I bet DOJ will. He is a beloved judge in the EDNY—absolute integrity and fairness.”

Harry Litman, former deputy assistant attorney general in the DOJ, tweeted that all of the proposed candidates were “respectable,” but said that Huck, Trump’s pick, has a “recusal issue.”

The filing also details the disagreements between the DOJ and Trump’s lawyers. The Justice Department doesn’t want the special master to review classified documents, whereas Trump’s team wants such material to be included. Trump’s camp also hopes the special master will consider executive privilege during the review.
The matter of which side will pay for the special master has also not been settled. Since Trump requested the special master, the government says his team should pay; Trump’s lawyers want to evenly split the compensation.
The timeline for the review process is also uncertain. The former president’s team suggested that the special master should have 90 days to examine the material; the DOJ asked for a deadline of October 17.
The former president’s request for a special master was granted on Monday by Judge Aileen Cannon, who Trump appointed in 2020, after a lengthy back-and-forth. While Judge Cannon blocked the Justice Department from continuing its investigation into the documents seized on August 8 until the special master completes their review, she is allowing the Office of the Director of Intelligence to continue its examination of the classified material. | https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/09/trump-and-doj-clash-over-special-master-picks-process-and-payment | 2022-09-10T22:31:29Z | vanityfair.com | control | https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/09/trump-and-doj-clash-over-special-master-picks-process-and-payment | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
As floral tributes to the late Queen Elizabeth continue to mount near the palaces of the United Kingdom, William and Kate, now the Prince and Princess of Wales, were joined by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle outside of Windsor Castle on Saturday to look at the mounting number of flowers and tribute cards from grieving Britons.
Harry and Meghan's appearance came as a surprise, as this is the first time all four have been together in public for a non-family event since a charity polo match in July 2019 (the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day for the Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Memorial Polo Trophy at Billingbear Polo Club, if you want the full name.) It was confirmed by Reuters that William invited his brother and sister-in-law to come to Windsor.
The images of the four together will bolster thoughts of a rapprochement between the two couples. There has been a bit of a rift between them since Harry and Meghan stepped down from official royal duties and moved to California in early 2020.

As it happens, the brothers had been staying just down the road from one another prior to their grandmother's death. Despite the proximity, and very brief moments of overlap during some of the ceremonies surrounding the Queen's Platinum Jubilee earlier in the year, there was not much done to thaw the ice “beyond some polite hellos,” according to one report.
Frogmore Cottage, which still belongs to Harry and Meghan, recently underwent a significant refurbishment to the tune of $3.2 million. In a recent interview with The Cut, Meghan said that returning to their English home felt like visiting a time capsule. “You go back and you open drawers and you’re like, Oh my gosh. This is what I was writing in my journal there? And here’s all my socks from this time?" She added that taking it all in was “bittersweet, you know?

ERIE, Colo. (KDVR) – An 82 year-old Colorado man wowed the crowd at a wedding reception with dance moves that defy his age — and now a video of his performance is going viral on Instagram.
“I’ve been dancing since about 50 years, you know,” Navnit Tailor, an architect from Erie, told Nexstar’s KDVR.
Last month, Tailor went to a wedding in Canada, where a DJ’s camera caught his exuberant, jubilant dance moves.
Tailor’s son, Samir Tailor, said his father is “always the first one to start the dancing.”
“The DJ there captured [his dance] and the next thing I know, a day or a couple days later, the DJ sent my sister a text saying, ‘Hey, your dad’s going viral.'”
Over the next 24 hours, the video had been seen by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. To date, the original Instagram video has been viewed over 1.2 million times.
“I was shocked,” Navnit Tailor said.
His family wasn’t. Dancing runs in the family’s blood, according to his son.
“My whole family is a set of dancers,” Samir Tailor said. “My sister and myself, we’ve always danced quite a bit, but you know, dad seems to capture the attention of people like no other.”
Samir believes that Instagram’s fascination with an 82 year-old man, being healthy and active enough to dance so excitedly, proves you’re never too old to act young.
“It really inspires people,” he said. | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/82-year-old-colorado-mans-dance-moves-go-viral-it-really-inspires-people-his-son-says/ | 2022-09-10T22:37:13Z | wpri.com | control | https://www.wpri.com/news/national/82-year-old-colorado-mans-dance-moves-go-viral-it-really-inspires-people-his-son-says/ | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |
Thanks to all for Parker Youth & Sports event
A huge thank you to the youth sports community and volunteers who helped our events succeed on August 26th and 27th. Your efforts were rewarded! Our Parker Youth & Sports Foundation Legends Dan Doornink, Jim Scoggins, Bob Garretson, Jr., and Paige Mackenzie were very popular and they gave inspired messages to the Friday night guests. Our community partners were outstanding and worked hard to help us succeed. Apple Tree is the perfect venue and offers hospitality and beauty.
Our deepest gratitude to Sherrie Parker for being the premier sponsor of the event, for supporting the dinner on Friday and for sponsoring four golf teams. Thank you, Stan Renecker, for being a generous gold sponsor this year.
Thanks to Irma Williams for handling the raffle and auction. To Phill Fossum for registration, photography and for being the number one volunteer recruiter. To Dan Williams for taking on MC assistance and payment duties. Thank you, Darlene Olmstead, for manning the registration tables. Applause to Alan Sillence and Ryan Rogers from KIMA for their indispensable help at the microphone and then playing golf. Thank you, Alan Walania, for financial management. We thank the Yakima Valley College volleyball girls for helping with 50/50 and the raffle tickets.
It appears we grossed over $41,000 in contributions giving us funds for sports support in 2023. In addition to seven Yakima Valley College alumni teams, the youth teams and military team were incredible in play and sportsmanship.
Our efforts added up! We had 146 golfers. One fellow played alone because he just wanted to be a part of our tournament. Another golfer joined a foursome to be apart. Having ambition to be on a team is our mission! These “extras” joined us, and so did many of you, making our Parker mission come true!

Through some hard times and sparse results in the win column, East Valley’s seniors stuck together. One victory as sophomores during the pandemic spring season, one victory as juniors last fall.
“We’ve had a bunch of guys working together and working hard,” said senior and co-captain Teegan Hooper. “We’ve had this hope that this will finally be our year.”

The Red Devils are off to the program’s first 2-0 start in a decade and what’s particularly exciting in Moxee is how they’ve done it. Friday’s 16-0 win at Naches Valley followed a 21-0 blanking of Quincy on opening night — EV’s first back-to-back shutouts in 20 years.
“We’ve got a great senior class, 25 strong,” said a beaming seventh-year head coach Eric Berg after Friday’s win. “It’s the biggest senior class I’ve ever had, and I told our guys I’ve never been a part of two shutouts in a row. This is something special.”
Special and, honestly, a bit unexpected. Certainly this would be a team capable of scoring a lot of points with the return of all-CWAC quarterback Garin Gurtler and a crew of veteran receivers. But to go eight quarters without giving up a point a year after going 1-9?
“What I’ve seen is that we’ve got a lot of grit, a lot of determination,” said Hooper, a defensive back who has an interception in each of the first two games. “We’ve been backed up into the red zone and we’ve found ways to get out of it.”
Were it not for that grit in tight spaces, Friday’s game would’ve been much closer. Naches Valley ran the ball effectively, gaining 157 yards mostly on the sturdy legs of Mitchell Helgert, but on the doorstep of the end zone that all changed.
After the Rangers marched 75 yards for a first down on EV’s 15 in the second quarter, the Red Devils yielded just two more yards on the next four plays and stopped the drive on downs.
To start the second half, the sequence replayed.
The Rangers plowed through 52 yards for a first down on EV’s 13, but three yards later it was a turnover on downs again.
“It was a bend-but-don’t-break situation,” Berg noted. “The defense was stellar. We had some guys getting a little tired and Naches was tough. But when they had to, guys stepped up and I’m so proud of that effort.”
Senior Alex Juarez, Hooper’s teammate in the secondary and an honorable mention all-CWAC defensive back last year, was instrumental in allowing just 32 passing yards, and junior Reagan Miller broke up a pass in the end zone that ended NV’s third-quarter drive.
Ahead 6-0 and following two three-and-outs in the second quarter, Hooper gave EV a huge spark with an interception that he returned 25 yards to NV’s 17 with just over a minute left in the half. On the next play, Gurtler found Allan Sires on a square-out route and he dashed into the end zone for a 13-0 advantage and his third touchdown in two games.
Yes, the schedule has been generous with two 1A schools and nonleague play ramps up considerably when 3A Heritage from Vancouver visits Earl Barden Stadium on Friday. But the Timberwolves are 0-2 and have scored only six points in two games.
“It’s exciting to have won some games and played pretty well, that’s why we put in the work,” Hooper said. “We’re just want to keep it going.”
“We’ve got things to clean up on offense, but the special teams have been very good and our defense has really come along,” added Berg, whose squad is the only 2A team in the state to have not allowed a point in two games. “I hope they see that and celebrate a start like this. We look forward to our next game.”

Prosser 34, Zillah 22
ZILLAH — Seeking an upset, Zillah bolted out of the blocks on its home field.
But Prosser had the legs for the entire race, especially Neo Medrano.
With the Mustangs trailing 15-7 at halftime, Medrano sprinted away for three long touchdowns in the second half and Prosser turned back Zillah 34-22 on Friday at Andy Collins Stadium.
Last year’s CWAC defensive player of the year, Medrano started the comeback with a 20-yard receiving touchdown from Kory McClure, pulling Prosser within 15-14.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound workhorse was just getting started as his 71-yard rushing burst on the next possession put the Mustangs up 21-15.
Zillah countered with Jayden Salme’s second touchdown pass to Nakea John, this one from 13 yards as the Leopards retook the lead at 22-21.
McClure, however, pitched his third touchdown pass to close out Prosser’s 20-point surge in the third quarter and Prosser was back ahead 27-22.
Medrano put it away, dashing 70 yards for his third score with seven minutes left in the game.
He finished with 147 yards on just three carries and he caught two passes for 25 yards.
After throwing for 139 yards in his junior debut last week, McClure completed 26 of 35 for 250 yards and no interceptions. He threw touchdown passes to Havic Prieto, Erik Delgado and Medrano and connected with 11 different receivers.
Prosser (2-0), ranked No. 4 in Class 2A by SBLive, opens CWAC play at Grandview on Thursday.
Salme, just a sophomore, broke out for 225 yards, completing 19 of 37 passes, and John hauled in six of them for 98 yards.
Salme added 53 yards rushing. Teammate Alex Martinez, also a sophomore, ran for 76 yards on 23 carries and caught six passes.
Zillah (1-1) continues nonleague play on Friday at Royal (2-0), which defeated Othello 14-0.

Chicago native and actress Marsha Hunt, who was blacklisted in the McCarthy era, has died at 104
CHICAGO - Chicago native Marsha Hunt, one of the last surviving actress from Hollywood’s so-called Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s who worked with performers ranging from Laurence Olivier to Andy Griffith in a career disrupted for a time by the McCarthy-era blacklist, has died. She was 104.
Hunt, who appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, died Wednesday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, said Roger Memos, the writer-director of the 2015 documentary "Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity."
A Chicago native, she arrived in Hollywood in 1935 and over the next 15 years appeared in dozens of films, from the Preston Sturges comedy "Easy Living" to the adaptation of Jane Austen’s "Pride and Prejudice" that starred Olivier and Greer Garson.

She was well under 40 when MGM named her "Hollywood’s Youngest Character Actress." And by the early 1950s, she was enough of a star to appear on the cover of Life magazine and seem set to thrive in the new medium of television when suddenly "the work dried up," she recalled in 1996.
The reason, she learned from her agent, was that the communist-hunting Red Channels publication had revealed that she attended a peace conference in Stockholm and other supposedly suspicious gatherings. Alongside Hollywood stars Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart and Danny Kaye, Hunt also went to Washington in 1947 to protest the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was conducting a witch hunt for communists in the film industry.
"I’d made 54 movies in my first 16 years in Hollywood," Hunt said in 1996. "In the last 45 years, I’ve made eight. That shows what a blacklist can do to a career."
Hunt concentrated on the theater, where the blacklist was not observed, until she began occasionally getting film work again in the late 1950s. She appeared in the touring companies of "The Cocktail Party," "The Lady’s Not for Burning" and "The Tunnel of Love," and on Broadway in "The Devil’s Disciple," "Legend of Sarah″ and "The Paisley Convertible."
Marcia Virginia Hunt (she changed the spelling of her first name later) was born in Chicago and grew up in New York City, daughter of a lawyer-insurance executive and a voice teacher. Slender and stylish, with a warm smile and large, expressive eyes, Hunt studied drama and worked as a model before making her film debut.
An early marriage to director Jerry Hopper ended in divorce. In 1948 she married film writer Robert Presnell Jr., and they had one daughter, who died soon after her premature birth. Her husband died in 1986.
Hunt’s first movie was 1935′s "The Virginia Judge." She went on to play demure roles in a series of films for Paramount, including "The Accusing Finger" and "Come on Leathernecks," but, as she told The Associated Press in 2020, she was tired of "sweet young things" and begged for more substantial work.
Hollywood proved a painful education. In "Marsha Hunt’s Sweet Adversity," she remembered almost getting the part of Melanie Wilkes in "Gone with the Wind," even being assured by producer David O. Selznick. Within days, Olivia de Havilland was announced as the actor who would play Melanie for the 1939 epic.
"That’s the day I grew up," Hunt said in the documentary. "That’s the day I knew I could never have my heart broken again by this profession of acting."
She left Paramount for MGM around the time of "Gone with the Wind" and had lead or supporting roles in "These Glamour Girls," "Flight Command" and "The Human Comedy" among other movies.
"MGM was sheer magic," she recalled in a 2007 Associated Press interview. "When I arrived at the studio for a one-day role, they parked my car. I went on the set and found a director’s chair with a sign on it, ‘Miss Hunt.’ Another sign was on my dressing room.
"I said to myself, ‘Any studio that treats a one-day player that way, really knows how to make pictures.’ They won my loyalty."
Work unraveled quickly after she openly embraced liberal causes, such as joining the 1947 protest against congressional hearings on the reputed communist influence in Hollywood.
"I was never a communist or even interested in the communist cause," she declared in 1996. "I was a political innocent defending my industry."
With a couple of exceptions, such as producer Stanley Kramer’s 1952 family comedy "The Happy Time," she was unseen on the big screen for most of the 1950s. She later appeared in many TV series, including "My Three Sons," "Matlock," "All in the Family" and "Murder, She Wrote."
She remained vigorous and elegant in old age. In 1993, she put out "The Way We Wore: Styles of the 1930s and ’40s and Our World Since Then," a lavishly illustrated book of the fashions during her Hollywood heyday.
A lifelong political activist, Hunt had a brush with terror in 1962 when she took part in a forum on right-wing extremists and two other participants’ homes were damaged by homemade bombs the very same evening.
"The ashen-faced actress said her home probably escaped the bomb attack only because the terrorists were unable to find out where she lived," the Los Angeles Times reported. Police were sent to guard her home.
More recently, she helped create a refuge for the homeless in Los Angeles’ Sherman Oaks neighborhood, where she lived and was feted with the title honorary mayor.
Looking back on her activist years, Hunt remarked in 1996: "I never craved an identity as a figure of controversy. But having weathered it and found other interests in the meantime, I can look back with some philosophy." | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-native-and-actress-marsha-hunt-who-was-blacklisted-in-the-mccarthy-era-has-died-at-104 | 2022-09-10T22:46:06Z | fox32chicago.com | control | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-native-and-actress-marsha-hunt-who-was-blacklisted-in-the-mccarthy-era-has-died-at-104 | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Rain, rain, go away may have been on the minds of every driver on Saturday afternoon in Kansas except for one: Noah Gragson.
Gragson was able to take advantage of two re-starts before the end of Stage 2 – and the skies opening up – to make the race official and earn the 10th checkered flag of his Xfinity Series career, and fifth of the season.
While Ty Gibbs dominated the early going of the race – winning Stage 1 and leading 66 laps – it was Gragson who was able to take advantage of the Lap 76 re-start after Jeremy Clements spun a few laps earlier.
With Austin Hill, Brett Moffitt and Ryan Sieg staying out under yellow in anticipation of the rain to come, Gragson started on the inside of the second row next to Gibbs.
Gibbs, though, took several laps to overtake Hill, while Gragson quickly spurted out to more than a one-second lead following the re-start.
Then on Lap 82, NASCAR displayed the caution flag for rain, running a few caution laps before determining it would allow the drivers to race to the end of Stage 2 on Lap 90.
Gragson was able to keep ahead during the two-lap shootout to win Stage 2, and the rain started pouring soon after, ensuring Gragson a second consecutive victory as NASCAR called the race official as the second stage was completed.
“It was tough. I don’t know if we had the fastest car there at the beginning in the first stage,” Gragson said of the rain-shortened afternoon.
“The (No.) 7 (of Justin Allgaier) was fast, the (No.) 54 (of Gibbs) was obviously the fastest car all day, but extremely grateful.”
Gragson later added: “I felt like if it would’ve went green, we could’ve kept working on it; we had a pretty fast car there. I’ll take (the wins) any way we can get them.”
Allgaier nosed Gibbs for second as the two made contact coming to the line to finish Stage 2. Pole-sitter Brandon Jones came home fourth, while Cup-regular Ross Chastain drove the No. 48 Chevrolet for Big Machine Racing to a fifth-place finish.
Points leader AJ Allmendinger finished sixth, followed by Josh Berry, Sammy Smith, Sam Mayer and Moffitt.
Allmendinger leads the regular-season standings by 38 points over Gibbs with one race remaining before the Xfinity Series Playoffs, with Allgaier 55 points out of first place.
The Xfinity Series’ regular-season finale takes place Friday night at Bristol Motor Speedway with the running of the Food City 300. Coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. ET on USA. | https://www.speedwaydigest.com/index.php/news/xfinity-series-news/72837-nxs-gragson-powers-through-to-win-rain-shortened-race-at-kansas | 2022-09-10T22:53:02Z | speedwaydigest.com | control | https://www.speedwaydigest.com/index.php/news/xfinity-series-news/72837-nxs-gragson-powers-through-to-win-rain-shortened-race-at-kansas | 1 | 1 | green-iguana-35 | null |

Ke Huy Quan Joins Loki Season 2, Randall Park Returning For Ant-Man 3
Marvel’s D23 presentation featured lots of major announcements about the future of the MCU. However, a few casting additions might have been overshadowed by some of the bigger news of the day. Case in point: during the panel, Kevin Feige revealed that Loki’s second season will feature an appearance by Ke Huy Quan. Additionally, Randall Park is reprising his role as FBI Agent Jimmy Woo in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Feige didn’t offer any specifics about Quan’s Loki character. But given the banner year he’s had thanks to the success of Everything Everywhere All at Once, he should be a welcome presence in just about any capacity. Quan’s role in A24’s record-breaking sci-fi dramedy was actually his first acting job since he announced his retirement in 2002. Before that, he worked as a child star in the mid-’80s, delivering memorable performances as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Data in The Goonies. Quan is also slated to appear in Disney+’s upcoming adaptation of American Born Chinese.
Park, on the other hand, first showed up as Agent Woo in Ant-Man and the Wasp in 2018. He returned to the MCU last year as a recurring player in Marvel’s WandaVision series on Disney+. And this isn’t his only comic book role to date. A few months after Ant-Man and the Wasp premiered, Park appeared in Aquaman as Dr. Stephen Shin, a role he’s expected to reprise in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in 2023. Beyond this, Park is also lending his voice to HBO Max’s Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai animated series next year.
RELATED: Owen Wilson Says Marvel ‘Scolded’ Him For Revealing Loki Spoilers
News of Park’s Quantumania involvement comes just five months before the film finally arrives on the big screen. And while Loki began production on its second season in June, it’s unclear if Quan has filmed any of his scenes yet. He joins a cast that includes returning stars Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Sophia Di Martino. Rafael Casal recently booked a role in the series as well.
Loki season 2 will premiere on Disney+ sometime next summer. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will hit theaters on February 17, 2023.
Do you have any theories about Quan’s Loki character? Are you happy to hear that Park is coming back for Marvel’s Ant-Man sequel? Let us know in the comment section below!

Habitat Greensboro Kicks Off Fifth Home in Lincoln Heights
Greensboro, NC: On Saturday, September 10, Habitat Greensboro kicked off its fifth home in the Lincoln Heights community for future homeowner Tamara.
Kickoff Ceremony For Tamara from Habitat Greensboro on Vimeo.
The rain did not dampen the spirit of those in attendance, as joyful comments were shared celebrating the accomplishments of this future homeowner. Driven and hard-working, Tamara graduated high school with a 4.0 at 17. She left the comfort and stability of her grandparents’ home to pursue a college education. Tamara worked to pay her way through college, obtaining an undergraduate and graduate degree. However, she lacked the stability of a home. Today marked her first step toward creating that stability through homeownership.
David Kolosieke, President and CEO of Habitat Greensboro, began today’s kickoff, sharing how “Tamara is like a thread in a piece of fabric. The more those threads are woven together, the stronger the neighborhood becomes. Making sure the homes that were devastated get rebuilt is all a part of rebuilding this neighborhood, and we’re happy to welcome Tamara as a part of that rebuilding process.”
Future homeowner Tamara shared her excitement for the day while thanking everyone involved in building her future home. She specifically thanked Habitat Greensboro for the “vision to just say that I’m sick of the poverty that people are living in, I’m sick of people not having ownership, I’m sick of people not having. It took someone to have the vision and the heart to hear someone cry. To see that this need for people to have ownership… Thank you.”
In Habitat tradition, following comments and a blessing for the build, attendees signed their well-wishes on the boards making up the home’s walls – ensuring that Tamara is surrounded by love in her new home.
