Kannur: Amidst widespread protests against the Left Democratic Front government’s ambitious SilverLine rail project, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has sought to allay the fears of the people saying that a final decision on its alignment would be taken based on the report on the social impact assessment.
The chief minister while addressing the first anniversary celebrations of the second LDF government, said the social impact study was on and all people concerned should allow the process to continue. Even the Supreme Court has given green signal for continuing the social impact study and the attempts being made to prevent the process from going forward were highly deplorable, he said.
Pinarayi said the people who are giving their land for the project have no apprehensions. The government has decided to grant big compensation for the land to be acquired for the project. Even the opposition seems to be divided on this issue, he said.
CM deplores Union minister's conduct
Pinarayi also slammed the door-to-door campaign of the BJP against the project in which Union Minister V Muraleedharan took part.
“We all saw the visuals where a Union minister came face to face with people’s opinion about the K-Rail project and how he was made aware of the importance of the project. Will any Union minister go to any state meet people with the intention of wrecking a project?
The chief minister also recalled his recent meeting with the prime minister regarding the project which is to be implemented by the Kerala Rail Development Corporation Ltd. “The prime minister has a positive stand towards the project. How can a minister who functions under the prime minister behave in this manner? he asked while referring to the door-to-door campaign carried out by Union Minister V Muraleedharan in Kazhakootam recently.
Pinarayi said the government’s objective was to implement all projects that have been promised in the LDF manifesto. These projects would create 20 lakh jobs in the state.
On Kochi-Bangalore Industrial Corridor
Referring to the Kochi-Bangalore Industrial Corridor, the chief minister said the land acquisition process had begun. The government is also making efforts to get sanction for the Kochi-Mangaluru Industrial Corridor.
Anniversary events inaugurated
As part of the first anniversary celebrations of the state government, “Ente Keralam” exhibition-cum-fair will be held in all districts. Cultural activities, programmes will be held every evening as part of the festivities.
A series of programmes will be held in Kozhikode, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram districts. The valedictory function of the anniversary celebrations is scheduled to be held in Thiruvananthapuram on May 20.
The chief minister inaugurated “Ente Keralam–Mega Exhibition” which will continue till April 14.
Revenue Minster K Rajan presided over the function. Ministers K Krishnankutty, A K Saseendran, Ahmed Devarkovil, Antony Raju, M Govindan, chief secretary V P Joy, information and public relations department secretary K R Jyothilal spoke on the occasion.

Kozhikode: The appointment of Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer NT Sajan as the Chief Conservator of Forests (CCF), Southern Zone, has been stayed by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).
In the latest reshuffle in the Kerala Forest Department Sajan was given the high-level posting despite his role in the Muttil tree-felling case. Sajan was the Social Forestry Deputy Conservator at Kollam when he was named as the CCF, Southern Zone.
Earlier an inquiry conducted by Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests had indicted Sajan for gross misconduct in the tree-felling case, but he escaped with a mere transfer from Kozhikode to Kollam. The Chief Minister's Office (CMO) reportedly took a stand that the charges were not that serious to take action against the IFS officer.
It was alleged the present promotion was given to Sajan with the aim of giving him a future posting in Kozhikode as the CCF, Northern Zone. Earlier, it was due to the intervention of the forest minister that the move by the CMO to post Sajan back in Kozhikode was aborted.
The minister had then noted in the file that it would give a wrong message if the tainted official was posted again in Kozhikode when the inquiry was going on in the Muttil tree-felling case.
(The case is over the illegal felling of protected trees from land assigned to individuals by the government and there smuggling by private parties in cahoots with Forest Department employees. Such illegal felling of trees was reported from Muttil area of Wayanad and several other places across the state.)
As reported earlier resentment has been brewing in the Forest Department over the transfer of some IFS officers in a haphazard manner in total violation of service rules and without the concurrence of the head of the Department. Some IFS officers aggrieved over transfers were planning to approach the CAT.
Washing his hands of the controversial transfer orders, Forest Minister AK Saseendran said that a decision on transfers was not taken by him. He added that promotion and transfers were routine administrative matters.
Incidentally, Northern Zone Deputy Conservator of Forest DK Vinod Kumar, who was also holding the charge of the CCF there, was shunted out as the Deputy Conservator of the Kollam Forestry unit. Vinod Kumar who inquired into the Manikunnumala tree-felling case, which is connected to the Muttil case, had filed a report against Sajan. If Sajan's appointment as the CCF, Southern Zone, gets clearance after the CAT proceedings Vinod Kumar has to report to the former. Many feel that this may lead to friction on administrative matters.

The INTUC rebellion against opposition leader V D Satheesan, which threatened to rupture the organisational equilibrium of the Congress party, seems to have been effectively quelled by some smart balancing act by KPCC chief K Sudhakaran.
Sudhakaran, in a fine show of mediatory brilliance, did not disown either party. He agreed with Satheesan's claim that INTUC was not a frontal organisation, but said the trade union was far more important than a frontal organisation.
"Even if INTUC is not among the frontal organisations of the Congress as per the party's constitution, the importance the AICC has bestowed on the INTUC is far above this. The opposition leader was also trying to articulate the same thing. The INTUC is Congress's own," Sudhakaran told reporters after holding a combined discussion with the two warring parties.
Chandrasekharan who was seen beside the KPCC president said the issue had been completely settled. "I am satisfied. No KPCC president in history has spoken so highly of the importance of the INTUC. It is in front of you that the KPCC president has said that he would hold the INTUC very close to the Congress party," Chandrasekharan told reporters.
Satheesan would also have been satisfied with the way things turned out. The KPCC chief also announced that action would be taken against INTUC workers who had taken out processions against the opposition leader at Kazhakuttam and Changanassery. However, the public nuisance caused during the two-day strike of trade unions, which had apparently provoked Satheesan, was left untouched.
A few hours before, Chandrasekharan was in a combative mode even after a one-on-one with the KPCC chief. He had reminded Satheesan of INTUC's historical links with the Congress party and how iconic Congress leaders had considered INTUC an integral part of the Congress party.
Nonetheless, it does not look like the bitterness has vanished. Top INTUC leaders in Changanassery have already stated that they would not tolerate action against any of their members for taking out a protest march against Satheesan.
Earlier, Satheesan had alleged that the INTUC rebellion was the handiwork of "instigators" within the party. This was widely interpreted to mean Ramesh Chennithala and his cohorts. Congress sources had earlier confirmed that Sastheesan had in fact complained to the High Command of Chennithala's conspiratorial ways.
However, after visiting Sonia Gandhi in Delhi on Monday, Chennithala told reporters in New Delhi that he was not " so cheap" as to play such tricks on the party.

Thiruvananthapuram: The Congress high command has once again shot down the permission sought by K V Thomas to attend a seminar as part of the CPM Party Congress that is all set to begin from April 6. Earlier, the AICC had advised Shashi Tharoor and Thomas to abide by the decision of the KPCC on the issue.
Following the AICC stand, Tharoor had officially announced that he would not participate. However, the CPM continued to express confidence that at least some of the Congress leaders would attend the seminar. CPM Kannur district secretary M V Jayarajan had openly said that he expected Thomas to participate.
Thomas also said that he was trying to get the high command's nod. “I have written seeking permission to attend the seminar," he told reporters. He was optimistic. “Let's wait and see. There is time till April 9," he said. His talk was scheduled on April 9, the same day Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin is slated to address the party congress.
Thomas even saw his participation as part of attempts to mobilise a grand coalition of secular and opposition forces against the BJP. He said the CPM Party Congress was not a local event but a national one. He also argued that unlike in Kerala, the Congress and the CPM were not on the opposite sides of the divide nationally.
The AICC leadership, however, did not find any merit in the arguments of Thomas and asked him to toe the line of the state leadership. Congress' organisation secretary K C Venugopal has reportedly conveyed the high command's decision to Thomas.
The decision of Thomas to approach the AICC even after it had given its opinion is seen as a major slight by the state Congress leadership. Senior Congress leader and former KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran said that Congress leaders participating in the CPM seminar in defiance of the AICC ban would be an act of indiscipline.
The KPCC had stated that sharing the stage with the CPM was unthinkable at a time when there were widespread protests against the SilverLine project.

The Kerala government has allegedly issued 'punishment' transfers to two employees of the Kerala House in New Delhi, who incidentally are staunch LDF supporters.
According to a source, they have been penalised for not participating in the two-day nationwide strike against the Centre's policies observed on March 28 and 29.
All major trade unions in the country, except those backed by the BJP, had participated in the strike.
It is understood that the two staff who have been ordered to return to the state 'with immediate effect' did their duties during the strike days.
Reena O, administrative officer and Sreeja S, senior grade assistant at the Kerala House have been ordered to return to Thiruvananthapuram as per an order issued by the General Administration (Political) Department of the Kerala Government on Monday.
The order does not cite any reasons.
Reena, a native of Alappuzha had been working with the Office of the Resident Commissioner for the last three years while Kollam-native Sreeja has completed at least five years of service in the nation's capital.
Under normal circumstances, government employees can approach the Kerala Administrative Tribunal to challenge the transfer as both the employees have children who are studying in Delhi and whose examinations are ongoing.
However, it is unsure if the two affected employees will take the KAT route considering they are members of left organisations.
The LDF government had issued a 'dies-non' (no work, no pay) order for government employees abstaining from duty on the days of the strike after being pressurised by the High Court of Kerala.
However, a majority of the staff of government offices had stayed away fearing retribution. Of the 4,824 employees at the state secretariat, only 212 (4.15%) had turned up for work during the strike.

Kozhikode: In a tragic incident here a newly wed 28-year-old man drowned in the Kuttiady River in Kozhikode district of Kerala on Monday.
The deceased is Paleri native Rejinlal. Kanika, his wife of just three weeks, too was swept away by the currents, but was rescued by kin and local residents.
Kanika is reportedly critical. She has been admitted to the Malabar Medical College.
The couple was accompanied by a few family members. They were witness to the tragic turn of events on the banks of the river at Chavaramoozhy locality, near Janakikadu.
Rejinlal and Kanika's wedding was on March 14.
The police said they denied reports in a section of the media that the accident occurred when the couple had come for completing a wedding-related video.
The eco-tourism spot has been popular in the district and has witnessed many accidents earlier.
Local sources said tourists often ignored signboards restricting visits to accident-prone areas.

Kochi: The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) on Monday stayed the appointment of Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer N T Sajan in the place of Sanjayan Kumar.
The CAT decision came on a plea from IFS officer Kumar who was transferred from the post of the Chief Conservator of Forests (CCF), south zone.
Counsel for Kumar sought an interim order of stay of the transfer order by saying it was violative of the Indian Forest Service (cadre) Rules, 1966, as amended by a notification dated January 28, 2014.
In its order, the CAT observed that the order seems to be prima-facie against the statutory rules and stayed its implementation.
Directing the Kerala Forest Department to retain Kumar as Conservator of Forests (southern circle) Kollam, the CAT ordered to also produce all the files in respect of the transfer order.
The matter was posted for April 7 for consideration.
In his plea, Kumar, who was transferred out as Chief Conservator of Forests (Working Plan and Research), alleged that his premature transfer from the post he had held was due to the political pressure and influence to help Sajan who is recommended for being kept under suspension pending for his involvement with the prime accused in the Muttil rosewood trees-felling case.
Kumar alleged that Sajan, only a Deputy Conservator of Forests and a person of doubtful integrity, is given full charge of the post of Chief Conservator of Forests, which is two posts above the normal line of hierarchy of his substantive post.

Kochi: Actor Dileep, who is an accused in the 2017 actress assault case, is found to have destroyed chat history with 12 contacts on his phone. One of them was the Sharjah Cricket Association CEO, states a Crime Branch report.
The probe report, submitted before a court here, also said the chats were erased with the help of cybersecurity expert Sai Shankar and were beyond recovery.
The deleted chats include those with his wife and actress Kavya Madhavan; his brother-in-law Suraj and three Dubai-based people — 'Dhe Puttu' restaurant partner, Thrissur native and social worker and Naseer, a Malappuram native who runs a supermarket in Dubai, the report said.
The Crime Branch also suspects that some of the chats were deleted in a ploy to divert the attention of the probe agency. The report claimed that the removal of these chats raises suspicion over Dileep's role in the case and it needs to conduct further investigation into the matter.
Earlier, the Crime Branch had named Sai Shankar as an accused in the conspiracy case against Dileep, registered after the actor's old friend and director Balachandrakumar disclosed that Dileep had conspired to do away with the police officials probing the 2017 actress assault case.
Sai Shankar was charged for destroying evidences on phones beloging to Dileep and other accused as well as for hiding information from the investigation team.
According to the police, Sai Shankar destroyed the evidence using his wife's iMac system. Sai Shankar had admitted that he had not destroyed the information and had transferred the information to another location. Following this, the Crime Branch filed a report in the Aluva court naming him an accused.
A leading south Indian actress was abducted and sexually assaulted by a gang in 2017 and the crime was filmed to blackmail her. After main accused Sunil was arrested and questioned, Dileep was accused of being the main conspirator in the case and arrested.
Sai Shankar is the sixth accused in the conspiracy case against Dileep.

If you want your site indexed high to increase SEO position but find the website has very small code. Search the terms of pages to find this: A government watchdog says the U.S. Postal Service's environmental evaluation used for purchases of next-generation delivery vehicles relied on some false assumptions.
Jill Naamane from the Government Accountability Office told a House committee on Tuesday that the analysis used to determine the mix of gas and electric vehicles overstated maintenance costs of electric vehicles.
She said the analysis also relied on gas prices that don't reflect the current reality. Some environmental groups want the Postal Service to buy 100% battery-electric vehicles for up to 165,000 new delivery vehicles. Instead, the Postal Service has proposed a mix of gas and electric vehicles.
As the Associated Press reported, USPS estimated in 2020 that gas would cost $2.21 to $2.36 per gallon, yet the national average in March was at $4.24 per gallon according to AAA Gas Prices.

Kochi: A former Income Tax officer has been interrogated by the Crime Branch over his links to actor Dileep who has been booked for conspiring to endanger cops who investigated the 2017 actress attack case.
The investigators claimed it was Vincent Chowallur who had introduced Dileep’s lawyers to Mumbai-based cybersecurity experts in their bid to erase data from the actor’s mobile phones.
The employees at the Mumbai lab had told the police that four lawyers representing Dileep, who is the first accused in the conspiracy case, had brought the actor’s phones there based on Vincent’s recommendation.
The investigators are yet to find out the motive behind Vincent’s involvement in the case. However, they said that Vincent was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2014 over a corruption case when he was the assistant commissioner in the Income Tax Department at Thrissur.
Incidentally, the lawyers who appeared for Vincent in the graft case are also representing Dileep in the actress assault case.

The ex-wife of Missouri Republican Senate candidate Eric Greitens says in a new court filing that she has photographs of injuries to their child in 2019 and other documentation of Greitens' alleged abuse.
In a document filed in Boone County Circuit Court on March 31, Sheena Greitens says allegations of her ex-husband's abuse were reported to "multiple lawyers, therapists, and our mediator, in 2018 and afterward."
"I will provide contemporaneous documentation of the relevant communications, as well as photographic evidence of my child's 2019 injuries, to the court at the appropriate time," Sheena Greitens said.
The filing, which is part of a custody battle over the former couple's two children, comes after Greitens and his attorneys accused his ex-wife of lying in a March court filing in which she detailed allegations of abuse against Greitens, the former governor who is attempting a political comeback after resigning in 2018 amid allegations that he blackmailed and sexually assaulted his former hairdresser.
Greitens' attorneys on Tuesday again denied Sheena Greitens' allegations of abuse.
"Here's the thing, we were kind of hoping that she would have realized she made a mistake," said Timothy Parlatore, an attorney for Eric Greitens. "This seems to indicate that she's really just going to double down."
Parlatore said Sheena Greitens was lying in her filings and maintained -- without providing evidence -- that she was working with GOP political operatives to take down her ex-husband's campaign.
Greitens and his attorneys have cast Sheena Greitens' claims of abuse as part of an effort to undercut his Senate bid by leading Republicans.
Sheena Greitens said in the court filing that "none of these claims are true," and that she "did not discuss the contents of my affidavit with anyone other than my counsel until after it was to be initially filed" on March 16.
"When his political future is at risk, he becomes erratic, unhinged, coercive, and threatening," Sheena Greitens says of her ex-husband in the affidavit. "He accuses me of things that are untrue and generates conspiracy theories about me collaborating with his 'enemies,' when I have done no such thing."
Parlatore, Greiten's attorney, said his client has emails from the time period that will show the injuries on the Greitens' son came from "roughhousing with his brother."
"This whole thing is just more doubling down on the same lies," Parlatore said.
The former couple is battling over custody of their two children. Sheena Greitens has sought to move the custody case from Missouri to Texas, where she now lives and works as a university professor.
The filings come ahead of a May hearing in the case. In her most recent filing, Sheena Greitens says she has refused to comment to reporters about the case and has restricted her comments to the court room -- but "it will be difficult to do so" if questions about where the case should be decided are not resolved until May 27, "because I expect I will have to go through two months of untrue public attacks on my character, motherhood, and professionalism."
Greitens' stunning fall from power in 2018 came as he faced calls for impeachment from the GOP-controlled state legislature and a criminal charge -- invasion of privacy -- related to a 2015 affair, in which his former hairdresser alleged he tied her up, coerced her into oral sex and threatened to blackmail her with partially nude photos to cover up their affair.
Greitens admitted to the affair but refuted the blackmail claim. He was separately charged with another felony -- tampering with computer data -- for allegedly misusing a veterans charity's donor list for his 2016 gubernatorial campaign.
The criminal charges against Greitens were dropped. A former FBI agent investigating the blackmail allegations was later indicted for perjury and tampering with physical evidence. When a Missouri ethics panel investigated Greitens' campaign misconduct, it found no evidence of wrongdoing but fined the campaign for failing to report in-kind contributions.
Greitens' accuser never recanted her sexual misconduct allegations.
Sheena Greitens said in her affidavit filed in March that Eric Greitens admitted to her that he took the photo that resulted in the invasion of privacy charge, but "he threatened that I would be exposed to legal jeopardy if I ever disclosed that fact to anyone."
She also alleged that in the spring and summer of 2018, "Eric repeatedly threatened to kill himself unless I provided specific public support to him."
Earlier this year, the former governor told CNN that he did "absolutely" nothing wrong with his former hairdresser and claimed that he resigned for his two children.
"It was the thing that I had to do for the people who I love the most, particularly for my boys, given those tremendous lies and the tremendous pressure that was on my kids," he said.
But Sheena Greitens pushed back on that explanation in her March 16 court filing, saying their young children were "unaware of the scandal, and I would like them to remain so until they are older."
She added, "I have privately entreated Eric to stop introducing false and misleading information about our marriage and divorce into the public in his quest for political office," according to her court filing.
Abuse allegations detailed in March affidavit
In the March affidavit filed in the Circuit Court of Boone County in Missouri as part of her effort to have a custody case moved to Texas, Sheena Greitens said she grew so afraid of her former husband that she sought to limit his access to weapons and began sleeping in her children's room out of concern for their safety.
"In early June 2018, I became afraid for my safety and that of our children at our home, which was fairly isolated, due to Eric's unstable and coercive behavior," she said. "This behavior included physical violence toward our children, such as cuffing our then three-year-old son across the face at the dinner table in front of me and yanking him around by his hair."
Sheena Greitens said she and others were so concerned about Eric Greitens' behavior that they limited his access to firearms on three occasions. She said she was concerned about the "escalation of physical violence" and eventually, "I started sleeping in my children's room simply to try to keep them safe," according to her affidavit.
In a statement, Eric Greitens denied the allegations.
"Being a father is the joy of my life and my single most important responsibility," he said. "I will continue to love and care for my beautiful sons with all of my being, and that includes fighting for the truth and against completely fabricated, baseless allegations."
His attorney asked the judge to seal the custody case.
In her affidavit, Sheena Greitens laid out a series of allegations of verbal threats and physical abuse against both her and their children. She detailed how Eric Greitens allegedly threatened to use his political ties to tarnish his ex-wife's reputation.
In one instance, she claimed Eric Greitens had "knocked me down and confiscated my cell phone, wallet, and keys so that I was unable to call for help or extricate myself and our children," according to the court filing.
In another 2019 incident, one of the children returned from a visit with Eric Greitens with a swollen face, bleeding gums and a loose tooth, according to her court filing. "He said Dad had hit him; however, Eric said they were roughhousing and it had been an accident," Sheena Greitens said in her affidavit.
At one point, Sheena Greitens said she tried to flee with the children.
"When I told Eric about my plans, he threatened to come to the airport and have me arrested for kidnapping and child abuse, saying that because of his authority as a former Governor who had supported law enforcement, the police would support him and not believe me, and I would lose our children," Sheena Greitens said, according to the affidavit.
Sheena and Eric Greitens divorced in 2020.
Greitens' campaign manager Dylan Johnson said, "His ex-wife is engaged in a last-ditch attempt to vindictively destroy her ex-husband. Though she knows that the press will viciously repeat her false allegations, Eric has always been a great Dad, who loves his boys and has always put them first, and that is why he is filing for full custody of his children."
In a statement, Sheena Greitens stood by her sworn affidavit and said she would provide evidence and documentation if the court requests it.
"My only interest is what's best for my two children, and for the last four years, I have gone to great lengths to keep these family matters private to protect them," she said in her statement. "I am not interested in litigating this matter anywhere other than the courtroom."

Thiruvananthapuram: Employees of the Kerala State Electricity Board Limited (KSEBL) owing allegiance to the CPM have launched another agitation against Chairman, B Ashok. The latest strike by the Officers' Association is in protest against the decision of the board to suspend Jasmin Banu, an executive engineer and a member of the association.
After the association announced a sit-in stir in front of Vydyuthi Bhavan, the KSEBL headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram, the board declared that dies non would be invoked on striking staff. (Dies non is a day not qualifying for any remuneration.)
"Jasmin Banu was suspended for no valid reason. Moreover, the chairman insulted her womanhood," said a member of the association.
But, Ashok refuted the allegations against him. "Jasmin Banu faced disciplinary action as kept away from work without applying for leave. Moreover, Banu, who was in charge of the secretariat section, did not hand over charge to anyone else during her absence," he said.
"There has been no assault on her gender," Ashok added.
Meanwhile, in a joint statement, all the seven directors of the KSEB said that the chief vigilance officer of the board had found after an inquiry that Jasmin Banu had travelled outside Kerala for a week without applying for leave.
A few months ago the unions had waged a strike demanding Ashok's ouster after his Facebook post on high-handedness of trade unions irked a section of the employees.

The supervisory committee on the Mullaperiyar dam could be authorised with all the duties falling under the purview of the newly introduced Dam Safety Act until a new authority comes into force based on the law, the Supreme Court proposed on Tuesday.
The apex court issued the directive after the central government told it that the it would take one more year to set up a new Dam Safety Authority.
The top court made the proposal in a plea filed by Kothamangalam native Joe Joseph seeking the court's intervention to empower the supervisory panel further. The Kerala government had also made a similar request which Tamil Nadu opposed.
The Supreme Court said both Kerala and Tamil Nadu -- the states engaged in a prolonged legal battle over the dam -- can appoint one more technical expert each to the committee. Respective chief secretaries could recommend for the appointment.
The supervisory panel can approach the apex court as and when either of the states fail to implement its directives, a Bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar said. The apex court advised both the parties to discuss its suggestion and submit the minutes of the talks to it. The top court will hear the matter again on Thursday.
During the previous hearing on March 31, the apex court had asked the Centre to file a note detailing the time frame and also when the National Dam Safety Authority, envisaged under the 2021 Act, would be functional.
A bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar is hearing the pleas raising issues pertaining to the Mullaperiyar Dam, which was built in 1895 on the Periyar river in Idukki district.
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Central Water Commission (CWC) and the supervisory committee, had told the bench about the Dam Safety Act 2021 and said the legislation has come into force.
The ASG said the Act is for all dams but it also deals with the peculiar position where the owner is in one state and the dam in another.
She argued that the National Dam Safety Authority will be the relevant authority for the purpose of Mullaperiyar dam issue.
Kerala and Tamil Nadu have been trading charges against each other over the safety, operation and maintenance of the dam. While Kerala claims that the structure is unsafe, Tamil Nadu denies it. Kerala has demanding a new dam in place of the existing one, while Tamil Nadu, which operates and maintains the reservoir, argues that the dam is well-preserved. Tamil Nadu's argument is that the dam is so strong that the height water level could even be increased to 152 feet.

Local author to hold book signing Saturday at bookstore
CHEYENNE – Local author Dean Petersen will be signing copies of his Wyoming-based mystery book "The Burqa Cave" at Barnes & Noble, located 1851 Dell Range Blvd., on Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
"The Burqa Cave" follows the story of Iraq War veteran Tim Ross as he teaches high school in a small Wyoming town and hopes to overcome the nightmares he's been having since he returned from the war. When one of his students mentions seeing a ghost during a macabre ritual held at an isolated gun range, Tim ignores him until the following summer, when his former student leads him right to the body of a missing teenage girl.
The boy's insistence that he can see the dead forces Tim to face the possibility that there might be life after death and consequences for the worst thing he did in Iraq.
"The story is heavily based on life in southwest Wyoming, but anyone who lives in Wyoming will identify with the story and its locations, along with anyone who enjoys a spooky mystery," Petersen said of his debut novel. "I hope people will come get their signed copies on Saturday."
Dean Petersen is an Army veteran and lives in Cheyenne with his wife, three kids and a growing zoo of pets. When not writing, he does commercial videography and enjoys podcasting.

CHEYENNE – A jury on Monday found a Cheyenne day care worker guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Kristina Eileen Croy was charged in Laramie County District Court following the September 2019 death of an 8-month-old girl who was in her care at the time. Croy pleaded not guilty to the charge in July 2020.
Croy was accused of placing the infant in a too-small swaddling device against her mother’s wishes and against state guidelines. She was also accused of directing an employee of her day care to lie to police following the incident, and of changing her story about the incident.
The infant, who was referred to during the trial and in court documents as “M.G.,” was identified by family members as Malia Gavagan.
Involuntary manslaughter, a felony, carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.
The jury came back with the guilty verdict around 4:30 p.m. Monday, following about five hours of deliberation. The trial began March 28, and closing arguments took place Monday morning.
Marcia Bean, the county and prosecuting attorney for Big Horn County, was appointed to prosecute the case. The victim’s grandmother, Eileen Gavagan, worked for former Laramie County District Attorney Scott Homar, and she maintains a connection with current Laramie County DA Leigh Anne Manlove, who worked as a prosecutor in Homar’s administration.
Bean said Tuesday that the trial, which she said was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and filings by the defendant, was a long time coming. The prosecutor said she was “very happy” that the case was close to a resolution.
“I’m glad for the Gavagans, and I believe that it was an appropriate verdict. The jury worked hard, and so I’m satisfied with how it all came out,” Bean said in an interview.
Eileen Gavagan told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle on Tuesday that “it was very difficult to remain quiet and emotionless” during the roughly five-day trial. But as the jury’s guilty verdict was read, “finally we could breathe,” she said.
“The family members and those that loved Malia Gavagan are so grateful for the hard work of the prosecution team,” Eileen Gavagan wrote in an email. “We appreciated the jury’s attentiveness in the trial despite the very difficult circumstances and the emotions that arise when hearing about a child’s death, and seeing videos and photos of a deceased child.
“We are grateful that we had this precious child for 8 months (and) 21 days, and we will forever miss her,” she continued. “We hope for healing and peace and look forward to the sentencing hearing.”
Defendant’s arguments
Croy’s attorney, Dion Custis, gave a short statement to the WTE on Tuesday.
“It was an incredibly sad case – very tough case for anyone to consider, including the jury,” he said.
In his opening argument in the trial, Custis called Malia’s death a “tragic accident,” and said Croy had not done anything criminal.
Custis said Croy likely wouldn’t have taken the child into her care if she’d known about Malia’s “health issues,” which he said included being born premature and her mother’s use of marijuana while she was pregnant.
Croy’s attorney said the child was taking medication for acid reflux, but that Croy did not know this. He also referred to Malia as having “breathing issues” and “chronic lung disease.”
Custis said there was documentation that child could not roll over on her own, meaning it would not have been unsafe to place her in a swaddling device, he said.
Regarding the accusation that Croy had changed her version of events, Custis said the day care worker had been “in a frantic state of mind” following the incident.
In Bean’s opening argument, she said Malia’s mother, Julianne Gavagan, stopped using marijuana when she found out she was pregnant. Bean characterized the infant as “active” and “healthy” immediately before her death.
Croy remains out of custody pending sentencing.
Eileen and Julianne Gavagan also filed a wrongful death lawsuit in May 2021 in Laramie County District Court. The suit, which names Croy and her day care as defendants, has a scheduling conference set for May 9.
The incident
The criminal charge stemmed from a Sept. 25, 2019, incident. The Cheyenne Police Department responded to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center that afternoon, following the report of a deceased infant, according to a probable cause affidavit written by CPD Detective Allison Baca.
Malia Gavagan had been in Croy’s care. Croy operated the day care “It’s a Child’s World They Matter,” which was licensed by the Wyoming Department of Family Services, the affidavit said.
Croy told law enforcement that she’d found Malia at about 1:20 p.m. that day face down on the living room floor. The child was not breathing and had no heartbeat. Croy said she yelled for her then-18-year-old daughter to call 911.
Croy said that, at about 12:30 p.m., she’d put Malia in a “little sleeper,” which is described in the affidavit as a swaddling device that zips up to the neck with Velcro flaps, restraining a child’s arms.
Croy told police she had to use the “swaddler” for prevention of sudden infant death syndrome. The Mayo Clinic describes SIDS as “the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old.” Croy said Malia’s mother knew she used the swaddling device, a version of events the parent contradicted.
After putting Malia in the device, Croy put the child on the floor on her back. She described looking over “a couple times” and seeing the infant had “dozed off.” In at least one instance, Malia had rolled over, which Croy said she didn’t like, so she rolled the child onto her back.
When she checked on the child again, Croy said Malia was lying face down and not breathing. She said another day care employee stayed with the other children – 11 additional small children and infants – as her daughter called 911 and Croy began CPR. At this time, Croy said she heard Malia gurgling and noticed her lips were turning purple.
Croy said that, at the time of the incident, she was in the kitchen cleaning and doing paperwork, moving between the rooms.
Changing stories
Both Croy’s daughter and the second day care employee later contradicted Croy’s account in interviews with law enforcement, according to the affidavit. They said the second day care employee had been at lunch during the incident. Croy’s daughter said a neighbor had come over to help watch the children while waiting for the employee to return.
The day care employee “immediately reported (in the police interview) that Croy had asked her to lie and say she was there at the time of the incident,” the affidavit said.
Croy contacted a Department of Family Services employee after the incident and asked her to come to the hospital. Croy initially gave the DFS worker similar information to what she provided to law enforcement, though she did not tell the DFS worker she’d found Malia face down, as she’d apparently told law enforcement.
Croy added that, although her home day care had cameras, she did not know if they’d been recording. Croy said she’d noticed the night before that the camera in the living room, where Malia had been at the time of the incident, was pointed toward the ceiling.
In an interview with the DFS worker about a month later, Croy changed her story, according to the affidavit. She told the DFS worker that Malia could not roll over independently, and when she checked on Malia at one point, the infant’s head was “turned,” and she was not breathing.
Malia’s mother, Julianne Gavagan, told police the infant had no health problems and was not sick on the day she died. Julianne added that Malia could sit up and “frequently rolled from her back to her stomach,” and had “on occasion” rolled from her stomach to her back, but that it was difficult for her, the affidavit said.
The swaddling device Malia was wearing the day she died had a sewn-in tag indicating it was for babies three to six months old and between 13-18 pounds. It measured 22.5 inches long. Also on the tag were the words: “STOP swaddling when your baby shows signs of rolling over or breaking out of the swaddle.”
At the time of her autopsy, the 8-month-old weighed 19 pounds and was 25 inches long.
An autopsy report concluded Malia died of positional asphyxia, meaning the infant’s position had prevented her from breathing properly.
The DFS worker provided Detective Baca with documentation that showed Croy had been trained in “safe sleep practices,” including that babies should not be swaddled “without a written statement and instructions from physician.”
Wyoming Child Care Licensing Rules say: “Sleeping infants shall not be swaddled without a licensed health care professional statement, including instructions and a time frame for swaddling an infant, on file. Swaddling is prohibited for infants that have the ability to roll over independently.”

It happened at the Mid South Community Federal Credit Union on Lasseter Place, around 10:30 a.m.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an armed robbery at a Macon bank on Tuesday.
It happened at the Mid South Community Federal Credit Union on Lasseter Place, around 10:30 a.m.
Bibb County investigators say the suspect entered the bank with a gun demanding money. After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash from the registers, he fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction.

Kansas men's basketball returned home to an excited crowd in David Booth Memorial Stadium on Tuesday, kicking off a week of celebrations after their win in New Orleans where they clinched the National Championship title.
Before the Jayhawks returned, several members of the crowd said that the excitement of yesterday still hadn’t worn off.
Freshman Haley Demman said that after last night, she was excited to see the team.
“I'm excited to see the team,” Demman said. “It feels unreal, being out last night. It's kind of crazy having this as a freshman. You don't really expect [it].”
Fan Alyus Wisdom said that during the game, he was not worried.
“The game was nerve racking, but I wasn’t really worried the whole game,” Wisdom said. “Today, I’m hoping the players are excited as I am about this win.”
Sophomore Rhett Ihedide said that he knew that the team was going to come back from its 15-point deficit in the second half, and was excited to see the team in person.
“Loved it. Never had a doubt. I knew they were coming back,” Ihedide said. “I’m just excited to welcome the team back [and] see them here, in person, of course. Just wanted to be a part of the atmosphere.
In their speeches to the crowd after they arrived, Self and the players all expressed gratitude to the fans and their team. Self joked about the first half of the National Championship game before going on in his speech.
“We do have the best fan base anywhere in America,” Self said. “We’re so proud. I think a lot, and I know our coaches do as well, is ‘How cool is it to coach at such a tradition-rich place? How cool is it to coach young men that give us everything every day?’”
First out of the eight players who spoke was super-senior guard Remy Martin, who said that everything he and the team did was for the fans.
“I talked to you guys on Senior Night, [the] last time I was going to be in Allen Fieldhouse, and I said that I appreciate everyone in this community,” Martin said to the crowd. “You guys mean the world to me. Now that I get to come back here and talk to you guys again, bringing a national championship with these guys, it’s amazing.”
Senior guard Ochai Agbaji said that this is how he envisioned this year’s season going.
“I appreciate y’all, from the bottom of my heart. We did this for you all,” Agbaji said. “We had ups and downs this season. We had a really special team, really special coaching staff, and [I] couldn’t be more thankful. When I made my decision to come back this year, this is how I envisioned it.”
Several other players, such as senior forward David McCormack, junior guard Christian Braun and super-senior forward Mitch Lightfoot also spoke.
There’s no word yet on when a celebration parade will be occurring, but any updates for that can be found at the Kansan’s celebration guide.

"Who knows if they're going to make it back to their village, but with these filtration buckets they can source the water locally."
MACON, Georgia(41NBC/WMGT)— Christ Chapel Macon has partnered with the Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge to hosts a golf tournament. All proceeds raised will go towards funding for filtration buckets for the villages in Africa.

“Who knows if they’re going to make it back to their village, but with these filtration buckets they can source the water locally, it can be filtered and used locally and they won’t have to go through that trouble or that danger,” said Jake Cox.
Cox is the planner for the event and says each bucket cost around $35.

Local lawmakers reflect on 2022 legislative session
"We did on some pretty historic tax cuts, income tax cuts for the state of Georgia."
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)— Georgia’s legislative session officially wrapped up Tuesday afternoon.
We spoke with Minority Leader Representative Dr. James Beverly, and Majority Caucus Chair State Senator John F. Kennedy, about what was accomplished during the 2022 session.
Senator Kennedy says most of what they set out to accomplish passed this year. Representative Beverly says he’s proud of what they did this year with passing the budget, a recess bill, and House Bill 1013 to expand mental healthcare in Georgia.
“The state of Georgia is treating mental health. Having a broken mind is just as horrible as having a broken finger. You need to have treatment,” Representative Beverly said. “And now we have parity in the state of Georgia. That was great, I was one of the co-signers on that bill.”
“The latter part of the legislative session was the budget and all the work that goes into that,” said Senator Kennedy. “And coupled with that was the work we did on some pretty historic tax cuts, income tax cuts for the state of Georgia.”
Senator Kennedy and Representative Beverly say they’re looking forward to meeting with constituents and hearing concerns for the 2023 legislative session.

Macon’s Rosa Taylor Elementary School will be closed Wednesday
Rosa Taylor Elementary School will be closed on Wednesday due to power issues.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Rosa Taylor Elementary School will be closed on Wednesday due to power issues.
That’s according to an email sent by Bibb Schools spokesperson Stephanie Hartley Tuesday night, which said teachers and staff are to report at 12 p.m.
Students will not participate in virtual learning.
“We apologize for the inconvenience this may create for some families,” Hartley wrote. “But the safety of students and staff is our top priority.”
All other Bibb County schools will operate normally on Wednesday.
“BCSD will continue to partner with Macon-Bibb EMA and the National Weather Service as we monitor the potential for severe weather Wednesday,” Hartley continued. “Parents will be notified of any necessary updates or changes. Thank you for your support and understanding.”
Power lines and trees fell in the neighborhood surrounding Rosa Taylor Elementary School on Tuesday as strong storms moved through, blocking access into and out of the school. School buses and parent vehicles were trapped in the parking lot as crews worked to clear the area.
Soon after dismissal began, the district announced the school would start classes at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, but that plan changed Tuesday night.
Hartley wrote in a previous email that there was no “identifiable damage” to the school.

Messianic Jewish Temple welcomes public to prayer wall
"We want to give them that opportunity to be prayed over. There's no strings attached."
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)— Beth Yeshua International sits quietly off Price Road. Much like any other church or synagogue, you can visit on weekends and pray during the services. You can also visit during the week and pray at their prayer wall. It’s a replica of the Western Wall in Israel.
“Since 2015 we’ve prayed over 2,600 prayer requests. That does not include the prayers we get worldwide from our prayer force,” said Greg Hershberg, Rabbi for Beth Yeshua International.
Beth Yeshua International follows Messianic Judaism, which believes in Yeshua, the Hebrew name for Jesus.
Rabbi Hershberg says the prayer wall is an opportunity for people to submit prayer requests to a box in front of the wall. Several of their members will then pray over them every week.
“I’m well aware that people don’t have an affiliation with a religious organization,” he said. “We want to give them that opportunity to be prayed over. There’s no strings attached.”
Thelma Floyd and her friend Pat travel from Jeffersonville to pray over the prayer requests weekly. Unfortunately they couldn’t make it to Macon on Tuesday, due to poor weather conditions. We did speak with her on the phone though. She says it’s an honor and a privilege to pray for people.
“You know we love praying, and to see prayers answered is so amazing,” she said.
Rabbi Hershberg says his message is to use the wall to submit prayer requests.
“If you’re a mom or a dad and you have a very sick child and you have no connection with anyone who can pray for you, we will do it,” he said. “We’re glad to do it, we want to do it.”
Rabbi Hershberg says you don’t have to be a member to attend services or use the prayer wall. The gates are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
Beth Yeshua International is located at 5970 Price road. Services are on Saturday’s at 10 a.m.

Peach County Schools, Macon Mayhem raise Autism Awareness
The Macon Mayhem wore jerseys designed by special education students from Byron Elementary and Byron Middle School.
BYRON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)- As a part of Autism Awareness Month, the Macon Mayhem wore jerseys designed by special education students from Byron Elementary and Byron Middle School.
The jerseys were worn on April 2 as a part of the Mayhem’s Autism Awareness night. Students and staff from Byron got a chance to visit practice and a game.
Director of Game Operations and Community Relations, Zackary Smith, said getting more people connected with hockey helps grow the game.
Cara Windham is a special education teacher at Byron Elementary. She said having a deep connection and exposing her students to this experience, is why she loves teaching.
“It’s really important to have that personal connection with each child in you classroom because if they know that you love them they will give you everything they have”, said Windham.
The Macon Mayhem auctioned off the jerseys worn on Autism Awareness night. The team raised nearly $10,000 dollars for the Anchor of Hope Foundation.

Severe storms possible again Wednesday
It has been a busy day of severe weather in Middle Georgia and we are, potentially, in for another tomorrow.
A very warm air mass over the area will quickly become unstable by the afternoon, resulting in storm development.
All types of severe weather will be possible across the area, but to put some fears to rest, tornadoes will be a bit of a lower threat than today.
Regardless, have a way to get your severe weather warnings tomorrow, and take Severe Thunderstorm Warnings seriously.
Storms will be possible during the late morning hours with the main timing of storms during the mid afternoon and early evening.
The instability in our area will be very high for this time of year, so rather than a line of storms like today, expect tall, summer-like storms.
This means you should expect damaging winds, large hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rain.
Tornadoes will be possible as well, but this should mostly be a wind driven event.
By Thursday morning the actual front will be moving through, likely to little fanfare.
A few storms will be possible Thursday morning before much cooler air and drier weather returns.
This is going to be another day to stay weather aware, especially during the afternoon.
I would recommend with the hail threat, that you go ahead and move your vehicles into a garage or under a carport.
I know we mentioned heavy rain above, but for context on just how much rain we are expecting, a Flood Watch has been issued through Thursday morning.
We are expecting an additional 1-3″ of rain in the area, and on top of our rain today, this could lead to some flash flooding.
As always, “Turn around, don’t drown”.
There is not much going on for the rest of the week/weekend other than a big cool down.
Lows will be dropping into the 30s by early Saturday morning.
We should see a quick rebound for our temperatures back to the 70s and 80s by next week.

Severe storms possible again Wednesday
It has been a busy day of severe weather in Middle Georgia and we are, potentially, in for another tomorrow.
A very warm air mass over the area will quickly become unstable by the afternoon, resulting in storm development.
All types of severe weather will be possible across the area, but to put some fears to rest, tornadoes will be a bit of a lower threat than today.
Regardless, have a way to get your severe weather warnings tomorrow, and take Severe Thunderstorm Warnings seriously.
Storms will be possible during the late morning hours with the main timing of storms during the mid afternoon and early evening.
The instability in our area will be very high for this time of year, so rather than a line of storms like today, expect tall, summer-like storms.
This means you should expect damaging winds, large hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rain.
Tornadoes will be possible as well, but this should mostly be a wind driven event.
By Thursday morning the actual front will be moving through, likely to little fanfare.
A few storms will be possible Thursday morning before much cooler air and drier weather returns.
This is going to be another day to stay weather aware, especially during the afternoon.
I would recommend with the hail threat, that you go ahead and move your vehicles into a garage or under a carport.
I know we mentioned heavy rain above, but for context on just how much rain we are expecting, a Flood Watch has been issued through Thursday morning.
We are expecting an additional 1-3″ of rain in the area, and on top of our rain today, this could lead to some flash flooding.
As always, “Turn around, don’t drown”.
There is not much going on for the rest of the week/weekend other than a big cool down.
Lows will be dropping into the 30s by early Saturday morning.
We should see a quick rebound for our temperatures back to the 70s and 80s by next week.

Severe weather damage seen across Middle Georgia Tuesday evening
The severe weather system that moved through Middle Georgia on Tuesday included several tornado warnings.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — The severe weather system that moved through Middle Georgia on Tuesday included several tornado warnings.
Rain and gusty winds brought down several trees and power lines in Macon, causing road closures.
“We heard this explosion, literally it was an explosion,” resident Bill Youngblood said. “It didn’t take me long to get off the couch.”
Youngblood told us he was watching TV with his daughter when he heard his tree fall.
He’s thankful the tree did not damage his home or anyone around him.
“That would’ve been really tough, so I guess God was looking out after us,” he said.
The tree caused Youngblood’s power to go out and his water line to break.
Another tree was also down on Wimbish Road, but crews quickly removed it. Both trees knocked down power lines.
In Baldwin County, County Manager Carlos Tobar said several residents were without power.
“There were 40 trees that were on the right of way, and we have reopened the roads, and the power company Tri-County EMC helped to restore power to the last house now,” he said.
According to Tobar, roads were closed for two hours on the north side of the county.
He says no one was injured and reminds everyone to be aware when severe weather is in the area.
“If you hear a siren going, next time stay home stay safe, get away from the windows,” he said. “We’re very fortunate that nobody was hurt and there wasn’t any structural damage to any property.”
Damage was reported in several area counties including Baldwin, Bibb, Crawford, Dooly, Hancock, Houston, Laurens, Taylor, Treutlen, Twiggs and Wilcox.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Demons. Augusta National has more than its fair share of demons. And even though Jordan Spieth made himself a champion here at age 21, he could still use an exorcism sooner rather than later.
So when a reporter started asking a question Tuesday by saying, “Sorry to take you back to the past,” the 28-year-old Spieth felt compelled to interrupt.
“That could be a good thing or a bad thing,” he said. “But you’re apparently going into the bad route.”
Though Spieth’s line inspired a hearty interview-room laugh at the Masters, there is nothing remotely funny about that “bad route.” In fact, it was a really bad route, and one the three-time major winner will never forget.
As defending champ in 2016, Spieth held a five-stroke lead with nine holes to go and seemed to be a slam-dunk bet to join Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo as the only men to go back-to-back at Augusta. And then the evil par-3 12th opened wide and swallowed Spieth whole. He put two shots into the water, not one, and his quadruple bogey all but secured one of the more devastating collapses in the sport’s history.
Spieth did win the British Open 15 months later, but it’s hard to believe he will feel full closure at the Masters until he wins a second green jacket.
“I don’t feel any damage from it at this point,” he insisted. “I get in that situation again and it makes me play the right shot, and I win the golf tournament because of it.
“I’m back here, and for a couple of years I certainly thought about it, was questioned about it a lot, but that only lasted a couple of years. I think in 2018 is where I really just kind of got back on track. I made birdie on the [12th] hole on Sunday … and it was just kind of that moment where I was like, ‘All right, I got this hole back.’ So I don’t think a whole lot about it.”
Spieth said that if he hadn’t won the 2015 Masters, the meltdown would’ve had a more profound negative impact on him. Deep down, if he does feel pressure to make good on 2016, Spieth should be helped by two developments — one personal, and one professional.
The personal? Spieth and his wife, Annie, welcomed their first child in November, their son Sammy, whom he plans to bring to Wednesday’s Par-3 event.
“It’s amazing,” he said of fatherhood. “I’ve very much enjoyed it. The first couple months were like, ‘What just happened?’ And the last couple have just been really fun to watch him look around and use his hands and just grow.”
The professional? Woods is in the field, a truth that eases the scrutiny on every other big name on the board.
“I put enough pressure on myself to want to go out and compete,” Spieth said. “It’s my favorite tournament. So I want to play well. I think [Tiger] playing and … potentially playing well is just in general, no matter where it is, just so good for the game of golf and all of us. … He already had his comeback in 2019, but I mean, how many comebacks has he had?”
Good question. Here’s another one:
Six years after disaster struck, is Jordan Spieth ready to launch a Masters comeback of his own?

With the Nets in dire need of a win, the NBA schedule-makers delivered up the horrible Houston Rockets. And Brooklyn didn’t squander the gift.
After having wasted a great effort by Kevin Durant in Atlanta last time out, this time Kyrie Irving played like the All-Star he is Tuesday, leading the Nets to an authoritative 118-105 victory before a sellout crowd of 17,768.
Irving had 42 points and six assists, snapping out of his mini-slump at the best possible time. He attacked the rim, attacked the Rockets and lifted the Nets (41-38) to within two games of seventh-place Cleveland after the Cavaliers’ loss to Orlando.
The Nets climbed into eighth in the East, thanks to the season-series tiebreaker with ninth-place Atlanta, and edged a game ahead of Charlotte.
With just three games left — at the Knicks Wednesday, Cleveland Friday and Indiana Sunday — every one is vital for play-in positioning. And those prospects got just a little brighter Tuesday — although for his part Irving tried to manage expectations and temper title talk.
“We’ll see, man,” Irving said. “You can’t predict the future as of right now. Any time I try to do that, God has a way of humbling me. So I’m just going to take it one day at a time as I’ve been saying all season, and game-to-game.
“I can’t even think about if we win all four games, if we go 3-1, 2-(2), and who do we play? I can’t even think like that. Just looking forward to [playing], being on the home floor and putting on a show.”
Durant had 18 points, Bruce Brown 15 and Cam Thomas finished with 13.
“The guys have a great mindset of what they want to do,” Andre Drummond said. “We have a great vision of what this team can be with such little time, so I think with us, we’re just excited to be here, excited to make something special happen. And we have the tools to do it.”
Irving — who’d been shooting just 36.2 percent in his previous five games — had 11 quick points to spot the Nets to a 25-18 lead right out of the gate.
And even after they fell asleep and let the Rockets climb back into it — a running dunk by Jalen Green (30 points) knotting it at 32-all with 10:13 left in the half — they had no problem with Houston.
The Nets responded by reeling off 10 unanswered points, highlighted by a sequence that saw them — with a big frontcourt of little-used LaMarcus Aldridge, Nic Claxton and Durant playing together — crash the boards for four consecutive offensive rebounds, capped by a technical and Irving free throw.
That made it 39-32, and Brown’s 3 on the ensuing possession padded the cushion to double figures.
The Nets went into the locker room up 64-47 thanks to 22 points from Irving. It was their biggest halftime lead at home since Jan. 15 versus the Pelicans, after holding the Rockets to 37.7 percent shooting and 4 of 22 from deep.
The Nets held Houston at arm’s length the rest of the evening. Kevin Porter Jr. (36 points) pulled the Rockets within 90-84, but no closer as Irving stemmed the tide with a midrange jumper and improved defense.
After a lack of discipline in Atlanta, the Nets held the Rockets to 11 of 43 from 3 without reaching and fouling.
“We’ve classified it as a lack of discipline. We’ve just kind of taken a step back there as far as attentiveness, focus on understanding tendencies and scenarios and situations,” Steve Nash said. “It happens. Its highlighted when it’s at the end of the year and we’re trying to fight for seeding. But this is the type of slippage that happens to every team at different stretches of the season. We’re just on the clock.
“So all these things are highlighted and magnified a little bit. So, just getting back to playing without fouling. It’s really risen recently. … We don’t need to overreact, let’s just keep building every day, get better. Let’s get back to guarding without fouling and play a great game.”
It wasn’t great. But it was enough.

Anything would’ve been an improvement over the last time the Rangers faced the Devils, but this one counted as a much-needed bounce-back victory after a couple of disappointing losses.
The Rangers came to Prudential Center and got the job done against the bottom-feeding Devils on Tuesday, scoring two power-play goals on the way to a 3-1 win in their fourth-to-last road game of the regular season.
With the Penguins’ loss to the Avalanche, the Rangers sunk their teeth even further into second place in the Metropolitan Division with a four-point lead and four more wins than Pittsburgh. The Devils, on the other hand, dropped their fifth game in a row.
It was the fourth and final time the cross-Hudson rivals squared off this season, and the Rangers took the 2021-22 series 3-1.
Ryan Strome returned to the Rangers lineup after a four-game absence with an undisclosed upper-body injury. The Rangers’ top power-play unit seemingly returned to its peak form as well, going 2-for-3 on the night. Coincidence? Probably not.
The power-play heroics in the opening 20 minutes kept the Rangers ahead through the second period, in which they posted just a single shot on goal as the Devils put up six on goalie Alexandar Georgiev.
Post Sports+ members, sign up to have Mollie Walker text you the latest word on the Rangers and reply with your thoughts and questions. Not a Sports+ member yet? Try it now.
But Justin Braun, skating in just his third game with the Rangers, provided an insurance goal just under four minutes into the third period. His long shot from the top of the zone made it a two-goal game. Braun skated on the left side of Braden Schneider for the first time since the Flyers traded the veteran defenseman to New York at the trade deadline, and the pairing was pretty effective.
The Rangers may have fallen behind 1-0 just under seven minutes in the game, when Yegor Sharangovich converted on a breakaway to give the Devils an early lead, but the visitor’s owned the remainder of the first period.
Schneider leveled the Devils’ Jesper Boqvist onto his behind with a clean hit in the neutral zone and Sharangovich pounced on the rookie defenseman unnecessarily. It was Sharangovich’s mistake, because Schneider pummeled the Devils winger and drew blood in his first NHL fight.
Sharangovich was assessed an instigator penalty and a game misconduct, which gave the Rangers a power play. Strome then evened the score at 11:07 of the first with his 16th goal of the season.
The Devils’ Pavel Zacha handed the Rangers another man-advantage opportunity when he was called for holding Adam Fox later in the period. Chris Kreider’s sharp-angled deflection of a pass from Artemi Panarin put the Rangers up 2-1 at 17:57.
The power-play goal was Kreider’s 25th of the season, which surpassed Jaromir Jagr to set a new Rangers record, as well as his 10th game-winning goal of the season, which set another Rangers record.
New Jersey was forced to play with 10 forwards for a majority of the game after losing Sharangovich and one-time Blueshirt Jimmy Vesey to separate incidents with Schneider.
Schneider owned Sharangovich in their first-period bout. Vesey then took the brunt of an awkward hit he made on Schneider against the boards and needed assistance off the ice in the middle frame.
The Devils were already without Nathan Bastian and young star Jack Hughes, who suffered a season-ending left knee injury against the Islanders on Sunday.

DOVER, Del. (AP) - Prosecutors in Delaware have reached plea agreements resolving several rape cases against a former University of Delaware athlete who is already serving a six-year prison sentence for sex offenses.
A judge was scheduled to hold a plea hearing Wednesday in Sussex County for former UD baseball player Clay Conaway.
Conaway, 26, is facing five counts of second-degree rape involving four separate women. Second-degree rape involves intentional penetration with any object or body part without consent, or with a person under age 16, that results in serious physical injury.
He is expected to plead no contest to the lesser charge of fourth-degree rape in three of the cases, and guilty to third-degree rape in the other.
Fourth-degree rape carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, but no mandatory prison time. The charge is defined as intentional penetration with any object or body part without consent, or with a person under age 16.
Third-degree rape involves sexual penetration without the victim’s consent, or with a person under age 16 that involves physical injury or serious mental or emotional injury. The charge carries a sentencing range of two to 25 years, with a presumptive sentence of two to five years and a mandatory minimum of two years behind bars.
As part of the plea deal, prosecutors have agreed to ask for no more than four additional years in prison for Conaway.
Conaway was sentenced in November 2019 to five years in prison after being found guilty of fourth-degree rape of another woman. He had been charged with first-degree rape in that case and could have been sentenced to life in prison if convicted of that charge.
The woman testified at trial that Conaway raped her after she drove to his family’s house in southern Delaware’s Sussex County. The encounter occurred three weeks after they connected on the online social and dating application Bumble. Conaway sent her a nude picture of himself before they met. The victim was one of several women whom Conaway was accused of sexually assaulting between September 2013 and July 2018. A judge ordered separate trials involving each accuser.
Following a second trial, a jury declined to convict Conaway of attempted second-degree rape and strangulation but found him guilty of third-degree unlawful sexual contact. That misdemeanor offense carries no mandatory prison time and a presumptive sentence of probation, but the judge sentenced Conaway in January 2021 to one year in prison.
Conaway was accused in that case of assaulting a fellow UD student he met through the dating app Tinder in 2017 at his Newark apartment.
All of the other cases involved alleged assaults in Sussex County.
Prosecutors previously dismissed a count of second-degree rape involving a seventh alleged victim after learning that she had lied to police about having contact with Conaway after the encounter.
Conaway’s attorney, Joe Hurley, said Wednesday's plea deals were motivated in large part by concerns about pretrial publicity that could affect the ability to find impartial jurors.
“Who in the world hasn’t heard his name in Sussex County?” Hurley asked.
Hurley also noted that if the cases had gone to trial and Conaway was convicted of second-degree rape, he would face a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years on each count.

Jussie Smollett case: Exclusive video shows ex-'Empire' actor's first moments in Cook County Jail
COOK COUNTY, Ill. - Video obtained by FOX 32 Chicago shows the moments actor Jussie Smollett was booked into the Cook County Jail after his sentencing hearing last month.
On March 10, the ex-'Empire' actor was sentenced to 150 days in jail for staging a hate crime against himself in January 2019 and lying to Chicago police.
Smollett was sentenced to 30 months of felony probation, with 150 days served in Cook County Jail.
He was also ordered to pay $120,106 in restitution to the city of Chicago and a $25,000 fine.
After receiving the sentence, Smollett erupted in the courtroom, yelling numerous times that he was "innocent" and "not suicidal."
"If anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself," said Smollett after receiving his sentence. "And you must all know that."
Smollett's lawyers immediately requested for the jail sentence to be suspended in light of them filing an appeal, but the judge denied that request.
"The wheels of justice turn slowly, and sometimes the hammer of justice has to fall, and it's falling right here, right now," said Judge James Linn in response to Smollett's lawyers.
After receiving his sentence, body-cam video obtained by FOX 32 shows Smollett walking down a hallway with several law enforcement officials before being searched.
"Mr. Smollett, we are the ERT team, the Emergency Response Team — we handle all the high profile guys, we handled R. Kelly when he was here," said an ERT member. "You are in safe hands with this whole situation."
Smollett is then seen on video getting his mugshot and fingerprints taken by Cook County authorities.
After getting his mugshot and fingerprints, the actor was transported through the jail to his eventual cell.
He was given Department of Corrections clothing and shoes, and his other clothing was bagged and taken away.
The camera is then turned off as staff conducts a medical evaluation on Smollett.

On March 16, after spending six days in jail, an appeals court ordered Smollett be released — pending the appeal of his conviction.
Smollett’s attorneys argued that he would have completed the sentence by the time the appeal process was completed and that Smollett could be in danger of physical harm if he remained locked up in Cook County Jail.
"The judge's sentencing — couldn't disagree more with it. The judge spent a great deal of time chastising, berating my client," Smollett's lawyer, Nene Uche, said. "I've never seen that and thought it was unprofessional. That's my personal opinion. Not happy with that."
MORE: Will Jussie Smollett go back to jail?
Smollett's lawyers said this case continues to be a constitutional issue, and that the actor should not have been put in a jail cell at all.
Smollett was released on a personal recognizance bond of $150,000.
A jury convicted the 39-year-old in December on five felony counts of disorderly conduct — one count for each separate time he was charged with lying to police in the days following the alleged attack.
He was acquitted on a sixth account.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida A&M baseball team dropped its mid-week contest 13-3 to the Florida Gators Tuesday; snapping its three-game win streak.
The Gators (19-10) took an early 1-0 lead on an RBI single in the first inning. In the third, the Gators extended their lead, scoring four runs on two hits to go up 5-0. And from there, it would be all UF.
The Rattlers (12-18) got on the board late in the contest on an RBI single by pinch hitter Broedy Poppell at the bottom of the eighth.
The Rattlers added two more runs that inning, when Poppell crossed home plate on a fielder's choice and an RBI single by LJ Bryant.
The Rattlers only registered one hit on 22 at-bats before scoring the team's first run of the game.

Dominik Shine scored 20 goals his senior year at Northern Michigan University.
Now, in his fifth season with the Griffins since leaving Marquette, Shine is once again scoring goals. Eight in his last nine games.
"It definitely happened like my senior year towards the end there," Shine recalled. "Sometimes you get bounces and sometimes you don't and now they are going in for me an it feels good."
In his first 268 games with the Griffins, Shine had scored 26 goals.
A combination of a few factors has allowed the Detroit native a chance to the light the lamp much more frequently.
"I think what you are seeing is someone taking advantage of opportunity," Griffins head coach Ben Simon said. "Obviously we are missing a few guys up in Detroit and some guys with injury and I think he's made the most of it. He is bearing down on the chances that he does get and he is the kind of guy that has to work for the chances that he does get."
"Just trying to get pucks on net," Shine added. "Coming into these game coaches are telling me to shoot a little more, just have a little confidence and just put pucks on net."
Coinciding with the goal streak was the trade of Luke Witkowski last month at the deadline, which meant Shine became a full time alternate captain with Griffins.
"It means a lot," Shine said of wearing the A. "I've tried leading by example the whole time I've been here and it feels good that the coaches recognize it and my teammates too."
"He's a character guy that had a really good college career," Simon said. "He came here as an unknown and has had to work for everything he's gotten. Guys like that you respect. I think our younger guys, even our older guys, look to him to lead the way both on and off the ice."
It's a quick change from young kid out of school, to an experienced player that other guys look up to in just five short years.
"Time flies," Shine said. "This is my fifth year, it feels like I just got here. I know what it's like to be those guys coming out of college trying to find their way and I just try to do the best I can to help them out and just lead by example."

Editor's note: This article briefly refers to threatening messages with graphic language as described by a lawsuit.
Alec Baldwin is asking a federal judge to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by a Wyoming woman who said she received hateful social media messages after the actor shared on social media a photo she posted of demonstrators at former President Donald Trump's rally in January 2021 and made a political comment.
“Reposting a photo Roice (McCollum) herself publicly posted and then expressing a political opinion about it cannot be the basis for an intentional infliction claim,” Baldwin’s attorneys argued Monday.
The lawsuit was filed in January by Roice McCollum whose brother was killed by a suicide bomber at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, in August 2021.
After learning of the death of Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum of Wyoming, and the expected birth of his daughter, Baldwin reached out to Roice McCollum via Instagram and donated $5,000 to the family.
In January, Baldwin saw that Roice McCollum had posted on Instagram a picture of demonstrators from former President Donald Trump's rally at the Washington Monument taken on Jan. 6, 2021.
Baldwin sent her a private message asking if she was the one who had organized the fundraiser. She confirmed she was the same woman and that she had been at the protest which she called “perfectly legal," according to court documents.
Baldwin told Roice McCollum he'd shared her photo with his 2.4 million Instagram followers and wrote: “Good luck,” according to the lawsuit.
Roice McCollum said she received hundreds of hateful messages including one telling her to “get raped and die," and that her brother “got what he deserved,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed in Wyoming.
The complaint, which also names Cheyenne McCollum and Rylee’s wife, Jiennah McCollum, as plaintiffs, said they were defamed following the online dispute. They are seeking $25 million in damages.
Baldwin's response lists several reasons the lawsuit should be dismissed, including arguing the court does not have jurisdiction over Baldwin because he does not live in Wyoming, that private communications between himself and Roice Baldwin cannot be defamatory and that Cheyenne and Jiennah's claims should be dismissed because Baldwin didn't make any statements about them.
Baldwin “was struck by the irony that his tribute to a fallen Marine, a patriot, was coordinated by an individual who participated in an event that — in Baldwin's and many other people's opinion — was an assault on the core of American democracy,” his response said.
“The real irony here is that Roice is suing Baldwin for expressing his widely supported opinion about January 6, when Roice had written to him moments before that her participation at January 6 — an event that promoted the false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen — constitutes the ‘freedom of protest,’ ” the response said.

SPOKANE, Wash. — A group called "Spokane Helps Ukraine" is living up to its name.
Created by local Ukrainians, the group raises money in order to feed family and friends still in their home country.
The group is in direct contact with people in Ukraine and some families that are escaping the country and heading to Spokane.
Sergei Stefalo, one of the group's organizers, says that he is amazed that people he didn't even know were offering help to the group's cause.
"A couple months ago, I didn't really even know their name," Stefalo said. "They're just coming through and offering help a lot."
Fellow organizer Greg Naker says that the origin of "Spokane Helps Ukraine" came from observing the Red Cross's support of the war-torn country and the substantial Ukrainian presence within Spokane.
"Sergei came from Kharkiv in 1997," Naker said. "And these people that we are sending the money directly to are friends of his."
Organizer Darin Klundt says the group's efforts began with a website. Soon after, a concept for the group was realized.
"And in a very quick, quick time, you got all this stuff together," Klundt said.
"Spokane Helps Ukraine" shirts are available at Cedar Coffee, Roller Valley Skate Center and two Kiev Market locations at East Sprague and North Nevada.
While Stefalo is happy that the group is garnering support, he is quick to remind himself and others that the charity's efforts are about more than shirts.
"It's not about t-shirts," Stefalo said. "It's about helping people out there. So, it's just such a touching moment to see that this is a community kind of coming together at the worst times. This show's what our community is all about. Just helping each other."
According to their website, the group has already raised nearly $50,000.

LOS ANGELES — Through the first two weeks of spring practice, new USC head coach Lincoln Riley was pleased with the progress made installing his offense. He said he felt like the program was ahead of schedule in that regard, crediting players for putting in extra work outside of practices and meetings.
“Twenty hours a week is not enough to be an elite college football player,” Riley said last week. “Guys have got to do these little extra things.”
That’s particularly true compared to the offense USC ran the past three seasons.
To be clear, both Riley and former USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell run variations of the Air Raid. But Harrell’s system was heralded when he arrived in 2019 for its simplicity. There wasn’t an extensive playbook for receivers and other pass catchers to study; rather, you had to learn how to react to the looks that defenses gave you.
Running back Darwin Barlow summed up the differences between the two systems succinctly last week, saying there had been some joking about the subject in his position group meetings so far this spring.
“We was just joking, we said, if you don’t know the play, you could just run a swing (route) last year,” Barlow said. “But now you gotta know.”
Offensive coordinator Josh Henson worked in a similar system at Oklahoma State from 2016-18, which has helped him grasp Riley’s terminology and scheme. Still, he spent hours in the film room with Riley this winter to understand the full extent of the head coach’s offensive philosophies.
“Every adjustment you can go two or three ways with it,” Henson said. “He’s a very curious guy, loves talking football, loves talking about scheme, different ways to attack people.”
The veteran players Riley recruited to USC have noticed this attention to detail, too.
“I’ve never been in a playbook like (this). Coach Riley just got a lot of intelligence in this offense,” running back Travis Dye said. “You can just feel it, that Coach knows what he’s doing to a T.”
Dye says the different language was the toughest part of it for him, but after a month or so with the playbook, he thinks he has it down. Other skill position players like Mario Williams and Malcolm Epps said they similarly felt like they had their roles down in a matter of weeks.
It’s a different story for quarterbacks, though. Caleb Williams had a head start after spending a year with Riley at Oklahoma, but he still feels like he has strides to make in learning the system.
“That will take Tom Brady years and I can’t be in college for Tom Brady years,” Williams said. “There’s always something to learn.”
Part of that comes back to Riley and his ever-evolving approach to the scheme, whether it’s adjusting to the players he has at his disposal or trying something entirely new.
“The hardest part is Coach Riley is so creative, so you never know what kind of wrinkles he’s going to throw in there,” quarterback Miller Moss said. “You can’t just leave this practice, go home, eat, and turn on Netflix and hang out until tomorrow. You have to get into your playbook and invest because if you don’t, you’re going to come out here and look silly.”
So far, though, Riley feels like the players have put in that extra work.
“We kind of have our base system that we believe in that no matter where we’re at, no matter what our skill sets are that’s going to be part of what we do,” Riley said. “Then so much of it will be tailoring it to our skill sets here and what we have both on this current roster, what we have coming in in the future. So that’ll come a little bit later on, but I think, as far as install we’re a little ahead. The guys have done a nice job picking it up so far.”

Does Ginni Thomas’ Cult Past Explain Her Interest in QAnon and 2020 Election Conspiracy Theories?
Dr. Steven Hassan, a cult interventionalist, told Inside Edition that she may have escaped one cult and is now interested in another.
Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has been outspoken about her interest in the QAnon and her belief that the election was stolen from Donald Trump.
As newly unearthed footage showed the Nebraska attorney — who said she attended Donald Trump’s “Stop The Steal” rally on Jan. 6 before it turned violent — speaking about her departure from the now-defunct Lifespring, experts are wondering if her past is what prompted her controversial viewpoints today.
“Is Ginni Thomas under Donald Trump’s sway? She’s under the spell of either a person who is controlling her or an ideology that’s cultic, like this belief that God wants Donald Trump to be president,” cult interventionalist Dr. Steven Hassan told Inside Edition.
Hassan was the one who first shared the 1986 video of Thomas addressing a cult awareness group about her departure from the now-defunct Lifespring. He had also been the one moderating the talk with Thomas that day.
“She was horrified she had gotten taken over and wanted to help others,” Hassan explained.
In the speech she made just one year before becoming married, Thomas explained her struggle to escape Lifespring. “I want to expose Lifespring,” she said. “I want to keep other people from going through that experience.”
Before dissolving in the mid-1990s, Lifespring claimed to have 400,000 members. It was founded in 1974 and purported to help people gain self-confidence and control over their lives, but according to former members, some of those so-called exercises included having to disrobe and ridiculing each others’ body fat, the Washington Post reported.
Thomas said in the video, “I guess I was struggling with not going overboard and fighting a cult, but I know that’s important to.”
Hassan could be heard then replying, “That’s great, part of you wants to help others, but part of you needs to take care of yourself."
However, Hassan's views and beliefs on cults have been widely discredited by other social scientists, according to a spokesperson for Ginni Thomas, adding that many of them say his theories have long been proven false.
Others, including Fox News’ Laura Ingram, say Thomas and her husband are being unfairly targeted for political reasons.

Zelenskyy Accuses Russia of Genocide for Alleged Atrocities in Ukraine as He Views Carnage in Bucha Massacre
Russia denies targeting civilians, calling their mission a ”special military operation" aimed at demilitarising and "denazifying" Ukraine, a report said.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls the Russian assault on Ukraine and Bucha massacre “genocide,” according to published news reports.
Graphic and disturbing images allegedly show dead civilians, some with their hands bound behind their back and killed execution-style, lined up the streets, scattered on the road, and thrown into mass graves in the town of Bucha, in Northern Ukraine, according to CBS News. More than 300 residents have been killed, according to Bucha's mayor, CBS News reported.
A sobbing Irina Kostenko, who lives in the central Ukrainian village of Kalynivka, told a CBS News reporter that the Russians killed her only son, Oleksei.
“The pain is so bad,” said the heartbroken mother. “He was only 27 years old.”
Kostenko said she used a wheelbarrow to transport her son's body to the garden. She said she wrapped his body in a rug and placed it in a shallow grave. She said she did it by herself.
Tears streamed down her cheek, as she held up a photo of Oleski as a young boy.
“This is my child. My love. My sweetheart,” she said, as she gripped the photo and began to kiss the photo.
In another harrowing scene, four women lay dead and naked underneath a tarp on a highway outside Kyiv, and according to reports, Russians tried to burn their bodies, CBS reported. Allegations of rape against Russian troops during the invasion have also been reported, with Ukrainian officials investigating, CBS reported.
On Monday, in Motyzhyn, a village west of Kyiv, Olha Sukhenko, the head of the village, her husband, Ihor Sukhenko, and their 25-year old son, Oleksandr, were shot dead. Their partially clad bodies were in a pit covered in sand, Reuters reported.
"There have been Russian occupiers here. They tortured and murdered the whole family of the village head," Anton Herashchenko, said in part: ”The occupiers suspected they were collaborating with our military, giving us locations of where to target our artillery."
Heraschchenko added: "These scum tortured, slaughtered, and killed the whole family. They will be responsible for this.”
A woman named Daria Belenitsyna, who identified herself as Oleksandr Sukheno’s girlfriend said the family had been taken captive by Russian forces on March 23, Reuters reported.
On Sunday during an exclusive interview with CBS “Face the Nation," Zelenskyy spoke of a cease-fire. He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin should withdraw all troops at the borders in order for any discussions to take place to end the war that started nearly six weeks ago when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
"Let's simply sit down together, the two of us and we will discuss a point in time when the end of the war will come,” Zelenskyy said, pointing out that Ukraine wants to preserve its sovereignty and "our strong army,” CBS reported
On Monday, less than 24 hours later, after seeing the carnage in Bucha, the Ukrainian leader told a group of reporters that "peace talks with Russia would be difficult after the discovery of corpses of civilians," The New York Times previously reported.
"It's very hard to talk when you see what they have done here. These are war crimes and they will be recognized by the world as genocide. You are here today and can see what happened. All this talk about waiting for a trial, but it will be very slow. We will put on as much public pressure as possible. We will not pause in finding all those criminals," Zelenskyy said, the news outlet reported.
Despite the disturbing images of death and carnage among innocent civilians, the Kremlin said on Monday it categorically denied any accusations related to the murder of civilians in Bucha, CBS reported.
Russia denies targeting civilians, calling their mission a” special military operation" aimed at demilitarizing and "denazifying" Ukraine, a report said.
“This information must be seriously questioned," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters, in part, CBS reported. "From what we have seen, our experts have identified signs of video falsification and other fakes.”
Russian media is run by state-controlled media, and on Monday, Putin’s approval rating had gone up to 83% according to a recent poll, CBS reported.
This weekend, as Ukrainian forces took possession of North Kyiv, the country’s capital and largest city in Ukraine, Russian troops shifted their focus to the eastern and southern regions, the news outlet reported.
In the port city of Mariupol, one of the hardest-hit regions that has been besieged and bombarded by Russian soldiers for weeks, thousands may be dead, according to the United Nations, but the bodies cannot be counted because Mariupol is cut off, CBS reported.
On Friday, a 10-year-old boy and his 17-year-old sister were able to flee with their father. The young girl told a CBS News reporter that “there were constant bombing raids and constant explosions,” she said. “We tried not to panic. We tried to hold ourselves together.”
The Ukrainian leader called Mariupol and other Russia-controlled cities a “humanitarian disaster,” with no passage for food, water, and supplies. Russian forces have blocked evacuation efforts from the city after they had reportedly agreed to allow safe passage from the city, the news outlet reported.
"We are the citizens of Ukraine and we don't want to be subdued to the policy of the Russian Federation, and this is the reason we are being destroyed and exterminated," Zelenskky said, “This is happening in ‘the Europe of the 21st century,” CBS reported.
While Zelenskyy thanked the U.S. and President Biden for their aid, he continued to urge the West to supply his country with heavier and faster equipment, including warplanes and more anti-missile systems, according to the news outlet. And, “not to forget about Ukraine.”
"We have the same values,” Zelenskyy said. “And we are fighting for freedom and we're going to win."

Jurors will begin deliberations Wednesday in the case of a University of Kansas chemistry professor who prosecutors allege attempted to defraud KU and federal grant institutions by concealing his relationship with a Chinese university.
Lawyers made their final arguments Tuesday in the federal wire fraud trial of Feng “Franklin” Tao, a case that has drawn the attention of civil rights advocates, who say the prosecution is the product of a Trump-era policy that unfairly targets Asian and Asian American scientists.
That policy, since discontinued, focused on the sharing of American technological advances with the Chinese government. Tao, however, was not charged with espionage but rather six counts of wire fraud and two counts of making false statements.
In closing arguments recapping more than two weeks of testimony, lawyers drilled down on points they have made since the beginning of the case. Prosecutors reviewed a long list of emails, recorded phone conversations and other evidence, saying Tao sought to hide a full-time research job with Fuzhou University that should have been disclosed to the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy, the granting agencies, as well as to KU.
“The fact of the matter is, this case has been about the defendant’s conduct, the defendant’s lies, the defendant's omissions, the defendant’s misstatements,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Donald C. Oakley. “No matter how much the defense has tried to refocus your attention, your job is to look at the defendant’s conduct.”
Oakley reminded the jury of evidence from a call Tao made to a friend seeking advice about how to handle the offer of a prestigious Chinese award that would require him to teach and run a research lab in Fuzhou. The friend told Tao he should be open about the prospect with his employer, KU, but instead Tao concealed it, Oakley said.
He cited exhibits purporting to show Tao had actively worked to set up a lab in Fuzhou and recruit students. Tao took pains to keep it secret, telling correspondents not to mention his award or put things related to it in writing, Oakley said.
Prosecutors also noted that though they did not have a copy of a signed contract between Tao and the Chinese university, the government is not required to prove Tao was paid.
“You are entitled to use your own common sense and come to your own conclusions. You know that people typically don’t work, certainly not for nine months, for free,” Oakley told the jury.
One of Tao’s defense attorneys, Peter Zeidenberg, countered, “Mr. Oakley says use your common sense. But you can’t guess and you can’t speculate.”
He argued that the government had fallen far short of proof beyond reasonable doubt.
“This case is based on air,” Zeidenberg said. “There’s nothing there. You just push and your hand goes right through.”
Zeidenberg recalled testimony from grant program managers, who said they were satisfied with Tao’s work. None complained of any loss from the alleged fraud, he said.
“In almost three years of investigation, two weeks of evidence, twenty-eight government witnesses and hundreds and hundreds of exhibits and not one word about loss.”
Grants go directly to the university and not to professors, a fact Zeidenberg said FBI investigators failed to learn.
“The government wants you to believe Dr. Tao lied and cheated,” he said, noting the money benefited KU. “Then he worked sixteen hours a day on those grants. What kind of a fraud scheme is that?”
Zeidenberg said the government failed to show any false statements were made to granting agencies and that in fact the grants applications were submitted before the job at Fuzhou was offered. Tao was not required to report pending grants, he said. Moreover, the Fuzhou affiliation was listed publicly on progress reports on three of Tao’s papers, he said.
Zeidenberg also faulted the FBI investigation that led to Tao’s arrest. The agency took the word of a woman who accused Tao of being a tech spy after trying to extort him, he said.
“They pinned their ears back and put their blinders on and focused on getting Dr. Tao,” rather than doing basic research about how the grant process works, Zeidenberg said.
“The government is apparently unwilling or unable to acknowledge or admit they made a huge mistake here.”

Per Aaron Wilson, formerly of The Houston Chronicle, the 49ers are hosting a pair of veteran wide receivers Tuesday. Malik Turner, who recently visited the Arizona Cardinals, and Marcus Johnson were at Niners headquarters.
Turner was an undrafted free agent in 2018 before spending 2018-2019 with the Seattle Seahawks. Turner spent a portion of 2020 on the Green Bay Packers practice squad before joining Dallas and appearing in 11 games for the Cowboys during the 2021 regular season.
Turner, 26, 6’2”, 202 pounds, finished the season with 12 receptions for 149 receiving yards and three touchdowns this past year with the Cowboys. It’s worth noting that 82 of those yards came in a 56-14 blowout late in the year against Washington, and 61 of those yards came on one play.
Johnson, 6’1”, 204 pounds, will be 27 come training camp. He was an undrafted free agent out of Texas, Kyle Shanahan’s alma mater. Johnson appeared in ten games with the Eagles in 2017, 18 with the Colts from 2018 to 2020 — including nine starts — and started in three games last season for the Titans.
Johnson’s calling card seems geared more toward special teams. He has 11 kickoff returns for 216 yards. It’s only an average of 19.6, but that’s one way to get on the field for San Francisco.

Good morning, and welcome to your daily live blog centred on roads, rail and bus travel. KentLive's updates aim to ensure you have a smooth journey across the county.
We'll bring you the very latest from our main routes, including the newly-implemented Operation Brock contraflow on the M20, the A20, and the A2. These routes have been affected at the Port of Dover due to reduced ferry movement at the Eastern Docks.
This is because P&O Ferries is not operating at the moment, as its vessels are undergoing safety reviews. It is not known when its vessels will be reinstated.

The opening of Washington spring turkey hunting season is just nine days away. While some folks will be slaving away to try to get their taxes filed, a large group of hunters will be in the woods, in search of a wild tom turkey.
Besides maybe the bugle of a bull elk, there is no other sound in the outdoors that can get a hunter stirred up like the gobble of a spring turkey. It is what every turkey hunter strains to hear as they comb the woods each season.
And once the gobble is heard, the game is on. It’s a game the turkeys win fairly regularly, but it is sure fun to play.
The challenge is to get within shotgun or bow range of a big tom. This is accomplished by imitating a hen turkey with an assortment of different styles of calls to try to get the tom to come to you. Or at least that is how it is done when everything works just right.
Unfortunately, there are a myriad of things that can go wrong in this “perfect world” scenario.
First, there is an 80% chance the turkey that is answering your calls is accompanied by several real live hens. Hardly ever will a lusty tom leave the real thing to come look for the sounds you are making.
If the turkey that answers your call is all alone however, or if he is with another lonely tom, then chances are he’ll come at least part way to check you out. Plenty of things can still go wrong once this little game of cat and mouse begins.
The tom coming your way may not want to cross a fence, or he may not want to cross a creek, or he may not want to walk through some thick brush to get to you.
Yes, Les Nessman, turkeys can fly. They are birds. But will they fly to get over or around those obstacles? Sometimes. If they feel like it.
Who knows what goes through the tiny brain of the extremely wary turkey, but more times than not, something will happen to foul up your fowl. They will see a movement, or they will hear a sound they don’t like, or a coyote will come to the call at the same time, or a dozen other things might happen, and the bird will make the right move at the right time, and save himself from becoming Sunday dinner.
Wild turkeys have an uncanny ability to live to see another day.
There are other times, though, when a bird will keep coming, looking for the source of the lonely hen calls. When that big tom comes into sight, all puffed up, with his tail feathers fanned and he booms a gobble right there in front of you, that is what keeps all of us turkey hunters coming back.
That is why turkey hunters get up at 3:30 in the morning, morning after morning. That is why they expose themselves to ticks and mosquitoes and other pesky insects. That is why they dress from head to toe in camo clothing, and walk mile after mile after mile.
It helps to be a good turkey caller, but it is not completely necessary. Sometimes a lovesick tom will come to just about anything that sounds like a hen clucking. I even had one coming in to me because I was rustling leaves as I moved around in the oak trees.
A real turkey hunting novice at the time, I didn’t know that was what was happening. Every time I moved, making the leaves crunch, the big tom would gobble. So, I would move a bit closer, and he would gobble again. We played that game for about two more moves and gobbles, and then, like a dummy, I tried to move one more time. He spotted me, and I spotted him at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the big tom turned and was gone.
That was just one of the many times the pea-brained birds have totally outsmarted me.
Scouting now, ahead of the season is one of the best things to do to improve odds of success. Fish where the fish are. Hunt where the birds are.
We have a few wild turkeys in Yakima County. And there are a few more in Kittitas County. But a very small percentage of the turkeys harvested in Washington each year come from our neck of the woods.
There is a much better chance of success hunting down in Klickitat County. The very best chance for putting a bird in the oven, is to hunt in the northeastern part of the state. In 2020, 60% of the turkeys taken by Washington hunters were bagged in the counties north of Spokane.
Rarely does a turkey hunt go as planned, but no matter what, most of us love every minute of it. Being in the woods on April 15, the opening day of turkey season, chasing the wary wild turkey, will make you forget about paying your taxes, and every other care in the world.

TOWN OF NIAGARA — The town Planning Board voted Tuesday night to table a preliminary site plan and request for variances from Amazon connected to the construction of a $300 million distribution warehouse.
The four-member board was unanimous in its decision, citing a desire to hear a response from Amazon to concerns from residents near the proposed development and requesting that the retailing giant offer "further alternatives" for dealing with expected traffic congestion around the warehouse facility.
A half dozen town residents, living near the development site, at 8995 Lockport Road, pleaded with the planning board to consider their concerns which ranged from the impact of the construction on a $2 million flood mitigation project in the same area to the consequences of 494 tractor-trailers going to and from the warehouse every day.
"I'm mad. Would you build a home across from this?" asked Gina Pasquintino, who said she had planned to build near the warehouse site.
Other residents expressed concerns over the impact of the development on nearby property values.
Resident Tom Weber said he was certain that a traffic analysis done by Amazon was "flawed."
'"Don't believe a traffic study paid for by Amazon," Weber told the planning board members.
Amazon has already received approval of the preliminary site plan and request for variances from the Niagara County Planning Board. That approval had moved consideration of the proposed 3 million square foot, five-story warehouse, on 216 acres of land near the Niagara Falls International Airport, to the town planning board.
The proposed project had previously been pitched to be built on Grand Island in Erie County. That plan, unveiled in 2020, had called for a Amazon to construct a 3.8 million-square foot facility on a 145-acre plot of land along Long Road. But the Seattle-based retail giant dropped those plans after residents in the area around the proposed warehouse launched a heated campaign against the project, citing environmental and quality of life concerns.
In pitching the project Tuesday night, Kimberly Nason, a partner with the Buffalo law firm Phillips Lytle, representing the project developer, Atlanta-based JB2 Partners, said town officials had recruited Amazon to the site.
"This site had been long targeted for development," Nason said.
Maura Kennedy. economic development manager for Amazon, said the warehouse "is going to be one of our largest facilities and one of our most sophisticated facilities." Kennedy also said that Amazon was looking to be "proactive" in addressing noise, traffic and other community concerns.
The proposed warehouse was described by Kennedy as a "fulfillment center." She said fulfillment centers are locations where merchandise, sold and purchased on Amazon is trucked in by tractor-trailers and then sent to delivery centers, where Amazon's ubiquitous blue vans are filled and prepared for home and business deliveries.
Materials submitted to the planning board by Amazon suggest that the warehouse facility would create up to 1,000 full- and part-time jobs. However, the project would present some of the same issues that animated protests by Grand Island residents.
The preliminary site plan suggests the warehouse would have in excess of 50 loading docks and provide parking for close to 500 truck trailers, an indication that the facility would create a substantial amount of traffic. Amazon projects between 200 to 300 tractor-trailers would would come and go at the site daily.
The site would also provide more than 1,700 individual parking spaces for employees and visitors.
Sources said as the project moves forward he New York State Department of Transportation and the Niagara County Department of Public Works would be engaged in a review of the proposal's impact on local roadways and infrastructure. The project plan calls for four driveways on the property, with a main entrance at Packard and Lockport roads.
The warehouse site would also sport three Amazon signs that would be well in excess of the town's current restrictions on the size of of signs. The company will seek a variance for the signs.

WILSON — School board members approved two resolutions at their meeting Tuesday requesting that Gov. Kathy Hochul restore local control over Covid-related health policies to school districts and parents.
One of the resolutions specifically requests an end to the requirement to test unvaccinated staff members, and the reporting of findings to the state department of health. The other resolution requests that the governor not implement any statewide Covid vaccination mandates for students.
Wilson Superintendent Timothy Carter said after the meeting that he feels the district's logging of test results isn’t necessary, due to the average infection rates at the district being close to equal among both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
“My job is to educate and keep kids safe, not collect data for the Department of Health.” he explained. “They know how many Covid cases are being reported, they don’t need Wilson or any other school district to duplicate that data. All it does is take time out of the busy schedules of the people who work here, and in turn takes taxpayer money out of the community’s pockets.
He also feels that if a student vaccination mandate is put in place, then the district is at risk of losing students to homeschooling from parents not wanting to have their kids vaccinated.
“If I am an advocate of public education,” said Carter. “Then I have to strongly tell the state, ‘if you put a mandate for vaccines in place, then I have a chunk of parents who are going to take their kids out of school instead of meeting that mandate.’ ”
Wilson’s school board has sent several similar requests to the governor in the past asking that Covid-related rules be rolled back. Carter feels hopeful that Hochul is taking these comments into consideration, as she made the decision to roll back indoor mask requirements in March. The Wilson school board had sent a request for her to do this the month before.
“I’m very hopeful that they will take this into consideration. One of the things that the governor has said all along is that she’s listening,” said Carter. “So I’m going to give this information to the governor, and what she does with it is entirely up to her.”

A night out at a bar in downtown Indianapolis in March turned troublesome after multiple women reported feeling drugged there, according to the bar manager.
Now, its bartenders are putting lids on their cups when serving in an effort to make customers feel safe.
"The fear of being drugged is widespread," said Julie Morrison, a forensic nurse for IU Health.
Morrison said hospitals aren't seeing a high volume of patients feeling drugged, but it takes these allegations seriously. Morrison says there are several different date rape drugs out here that make testing difficult.
"We don't check for that class of drugs normally if somebody would come in and they are awake and talking. What we would do, is keep blood and urine from them and if and when they involve law enforcement but that doesn't happen very often it really doesn't," said Morrison. "Another problem with these drugs is they metabolize out of their system very quickly."
To avoid these concerns, keep your drink with you at all times. When in doubt, pour it out.
"It's worth the money to buy you a new drink when you return versus having a bad experience," said Cliff Rawley, a lead instructor at Midwest Bartending School.
Behind the bar, with every shake, mix and pour, Rawley and his staff teach hundreds of bartenders how to properly serve drinks and not put themselves in a position to be accused of pouring something in a drink.
"One thing we instill on the very first day of class is we build drinks on the front bar. Build them in plain view of the guest. Make sure you never turn your back to the guest with a glass in your hand or build a drink underneath the bar where the guest will lose sight of that glass. We want to make sure they always have a visual on it. We don't want our bartenders or their employers to ever be drug into a legal issue," said Rawley.

Want to know what's going on in Louisiana? There's an app for that.
The app, called Trip Chat, is designed for tourists around the state to get updates and information about events happening all around Louisiana.
The app is free and can found on your mobile app store.
"There was a gap in the market for tourism, there's so many things and stories that you really don't know and unless you're talking to the owner, who's not there all the time, or the actual tour guy that's on staff, there's a lot of details that go undiscovered," Nicole Quinlan said.
Quinlan said Trip Chat is free to any user in the United States. She also says her business partners want to start their audience with Louisiana citizens.
"And so, we thought why not start on our home turf and honestly, we have the best food, the best people so why not start here and gain that local support and then share that with the rest of the world, ” Quinlan said.
Quinlan, one of the owners of Trip Chat, says they wanted to make something that is more user-friendly. She says since print is almost out the window, they thought that a better, more useful way to get the information out would be an app.
"So, let's just say you want to know more about night life, dining, museums, and state parks. And all of a sudden you change your mind and say you want to add a casino. All the audio billboards that we have within our database as you enter those geofences, they start springing to life and let you know about all the things you are interested in that surround you," Quinlan said.

Group claims fetuses in DC home proof of illegal abortions
Published: Apr. 6, 2022 at 12:13 AM EDT|Updated: 16 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) - An anti-abortion group says the five fetuses found last week in a member’s home came from the medical waste being disposed by a Washington, D.C., abortion clinic.
The group, known as the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, claims it contacted the police to collect the fetuses in hopes that an autopsy would prove that the clinic was conducting federally illegal late-stage abortions.
Last week, the Metropolitan Police Department removed five aborted fetuses from the home of Lauren Handy, a longtime anti-abortion rights activist.
Police removed the fetuses one day after Handy and eight others were charged with blocking access to an abortion clinic in 2020.

Candidates for Crawford County prosecuting attorney engage in debate
The lawyers running for the position of Crawford County prosecuting attorney debated their stances on judicial issues Monday night.
Kevin Holmes, who has practiced at Hopkins & Holmes Attorneys at Law for 18 years, and Robert Presley, the chief deputy in the Crawford County prosecuting attorney's office, are running against each other for the position.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson appointed Presley, 61, to be the county's prosecuting attorney in 2019. The position became available because Hutchinson nominated then-prosecuting attorney Marc McCune to a judgeship.
Presley served as prosecuting attorney from July 2019 to December 2020. Because Presley had been appointed to the role, he was barred from running for the position at the time.
“I'm an experienced prosecutor and going forward that job needs experience," Presley said.
Throughout the debate, Presley touted his experience in the prosecuting attorney's office as a reason for voters to choose him.
Holmes, 43, has handled thousands of cases around the state. He has tried cases before state and federal courts as well as before the Arkansas Supreme Court.
In July 2015, he also served as an appointed special justice for one case with the Arkansas Supreme Court.
Holmes said that as prosecuting attorney he would be tougher on those convicted of violent crimes, seeking harsher penalties to keep them behind bars longer.
Holmes pointed out that in the past two and a half years, the prosecuting attorney's office has tried 12 cases and lost eight.
Presley explained that his office does not shy away from prosecuting tough cases. He said he works with law enforcement to bring the cases to trial.
“Frankly these are cases my opponent knows nothing about," Presley said.
Presley is endorsed by the Van Buren Fraternal Order of Police.
Holmes said he also has a good relationship with law enforcement and wants to work with them further as prosecuting attorney.
Holmes said that the prosecuting attorney's office needs better training when it comes to working with victims.
“If you’re a victim, I will always treat you with respect. I will stand with you. We will walk side by side through that entire process," Holmes said. "You may not know it, but my wife is a rape victim, and so for her and I, it’s personal, dealing with these cases."
Holmes accused Presley of making biased decisions when assigning people bail.
“You’ve got two kinds of justice in Crawford County. We’ve got good ole boy justice, and then we’ve got, you know, normal justice and that’s what I want to change," Holmes said.
Presley said that he makes decisions surrounding bail based on facts.
“Justice is not for sale in Crawford County," Presley said.
Holmes was born and raised in Van Buren.
“I’m already involved in the community. I love Crawford County. This is where I grew up. This is where I choose to raise a family, and I plan on staying here and being your next prosecuting attorney," Holmes said.
Presley began working in the prosecuting attorney's office in 1994, back when the office covered both Crawford and Sebastian Counties.
When the district split in 2002, Presley started working as the chief deputy in the Crawford County prosecuting attorney's office.
Presley has handled more than 100 felony jury trials and thousands of felony criminal prosecutions.
Prior to his work in the prosecuting attorney's office, he worked as a Navy deep-sea diver for 10 years. He then spent another 10 years working in the reserves.

Economic opportunities spur residential housing growth in Fort Smith
With new construction underway and jobs coming to the River Valley, developers are working to meet the increased need for housing.
After record-breaking growth in February, with $54 million in project valuations for residential and commercial building permits, Fort Smith has continued to see economic development encourage new businesses and families to find a new home in the River Valley.
In the pandemic of the past two years, more people worked from home, and more people are now finding they can work from home for employers based in other parts of the country. People are moving to more affordable parts of the country to do so, said Fort Smith Mayor George McGill.
Fort Smith is one of those places people are finding attractive, with the Chaffee Crossing District, and downtown restoration continuing to attract people to the northside.
“Fort Smith sits in the center of the United States and the natural beauty is an amazing attraction,” McGill said. “The quality of life is very good. People are beginning to find their way here and begin to explore this area and they are liking what they are seeing. People are starting to buy. People from the East Coast, the West Coast, are now beginning to invest in this region.”
McGill said he thinks a population shift is underway.
“As people begin to look at places to relocate, they are discovering Fort Smith. They are discovering the western side of Arkansas,” McGill said. “That being said, you are getting more offers on homes. People are looking at property. It is a natural economic reaction, supply and demand, and we are beginning to experience that here.”
During his state of the city address March 16, McGill celebrated economic growth, including the investment of close to $170 million by Mercy Hospital and $100 million from Baptist into future healthcare services in Fort Smith.
With a return on investment of close to $1 billion, McGill expressed excitement during his address about Fort Smith being a preferred location for the first squadron of 12 F-16 fighter planes expected at Ebbing Air Force Base in 2023.
Additional jobs will be added by TGE Spark Studios and the expansion of Mars Petcare.
Along with investments in commercial construction, housing is also increasing to prepare for new Fort Smith residents.
New construction building permits were issued for 19 single-family homes in March with a valuation of $2,962,005 along with two permits for new construction duplexes with a valuation of $899,220, according to building permit summaries from the city building services department.
So far this year, 482 building permits have been issued with a total valuation of $107,854,743. Of these permits, there are 57 new construction single-family homes, six new construction duplexes and one new construction multi-family home.
This time last year, 435 building permits were issued for a total valuation of $59,826,854. This included 28 new construction single-family homes, 41 new construction duplexes and one new construction multi-family home.
Overall in 2021, 2,053 building permits were issued for a total valuation of $294,278,633, including 177 new construction single-family homes, 70 new construction duplexes and three new construction multi-family homes.
In 2019, 52.4% of households were rent-occupied while 47.6% of households were owner-occupied homes in Fort Smith, according to the American Community Survey one-year estimate.
From 2016 to 2020, 50.6% of homes in Fort Smith were owner-occupied while 49.4% were rent-occupied, according to the American Community Survey five-year estimates.

Why does soap make bubbles? Why do we get goosebumps? Can a turtle live outside of its shell? How do you become a great inventor?
Young learners in the Fergus Falls Public Schools are challenged to approach science through curiosity and inquiry, and these are a few examples of topics they might explore in order to form scientific knowledge and skills. Science instruction is shifting from a relatively passive model to one of activeinvestigation; rather than seeing experiments performed by their teachers, students are asking their own research questions, conducting investigations, recording their observations, using evidence and reasoning to form arguments, and communicating their findings with others.
In 2019, a committee of stakeholders from all corners of the state came together to revise Minnesota’s K-12 Academic Standards in Science. The result is a guiding document that, in large part, resembles the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) which were formed in response to research and recommendations published by the National Research Council’s A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (2012). The new standards go beyond students’ understanding of core ideas to place emphasis on their active participation in scientific and engineering practices. Additionally, students are taught to recognize and replicate concepts and strategies that extend throughout the sciences and into other disciplines (math, language arts, etc.), such as “cause and effect”, “patterns”, and “systems”. Rather than teaching these concepts in isolation, instruction in several content areas better equips students to form connections and to build competence in applying strategies both in their classrooms and in authentic contexts.
What impact does this have on our community? Well, if you happen to know a kindergartner, first-, or second-grader in our public schools, you may hear that they can actually fit inside a blue whale’s heart or that “Mystery Doug” visits their classroom (virtually) every week to investigate a new science question or concept. Students in grades three through five may share their experiences conducting weather investigations with their Full Option Science System (FOSS) curriculum or by getting outside and exploring nature at the Prairie Wetlands Learning Center. And finally, students in grades six through twelve may find increased focus and purpose in their science classes – as instructional activities are implemented to allow them to witness and experience phenomena in order to create research questions and drive learning investigations. Science is, after all, both a process and a growing body of knowledge. And the next generation of leaders in the Fergus Falls Public Schools is quickly acclimating to the routines and norms of the science community. They are learning what it means to observe like scientists, to write like scientists, and to contribute like scientists. Albert Einstein encouraged his own students to never stop questioning. How can engineers solve problems affecting the availability of clean water? … biologists prevent the extinction of species? … epidemiologists develop cures to debilitating diseases?… astrophysicists unlock the secrets of how the universe works? To all of our young learners in Fergus Falls: stay curious. “Go as far as you can, young scientists. The world needs you badly.” –E.O. Wilson (American biologist, naturalist, and author).

A guaranteed constitutional right, the right to bear arms, is a tenant of our republic. However, with that right comes the responsibility of being properly educated on how to handle firearms.
Fergus Falls Community Education offers classes and experts teach basic info about firearms called Handgun Familiarization with a followup course entitled Firearm Carry & Renewal.
Both community education instructors of the courses emphasized how important it is to know the multitude of laws regarding guns even before you make a purchase, or decide you need a firearm for protection purposes.
Bob Seifert, along with his wife Susanne, who teach the Handgun Familiarization class, said if a person has no prior experience with firearms, they need to first take a familiarization course.
“First of all it’s a low stress class, because a lot of times people are apprehensive about going to a shooting range or going to take a formal class, so what we’ve tried to do is keep it low stress,” Seifert explained. “We’ve got a bunch of different (guns) in there that they can try out. What we try to stress in the class is to not go out and just buy a gun, and get the wrong one, and have buyer’s remorse. We try to start them out with a .22 caliber, that doesn’t have a lot of recoil. It’s easy to shoot.”
Seifert said the class is simply to get people started with the basics, and get them comfortable with how to hold a gun and basic operation.
The class size is limited to 10 participants. No equipment is needed, but participants may bring handguns and ammunition, if desired. A $40 ammunition fee to be paid to instructors if you do not bring your own. Classes are scheduled for the fall of 2022.
Gary Wahl, owner of South Mill Service in Fergus Falls, conducts the Firearm Carry and Renewal class. Wahl said it is an 8-hour class, and they cover some of the multitude of gun laws that are on the books.
“What we’re teaching is that as far as carrying a gun in Minnesota, we have an open carry, with a class one and two. If you’re going to carry a gun that is loaded then you must have a permit to carry,” said Wahl.
For those interested in attending the class, the basics will be covered and reviewed along with safety and ethics, and the laws regarding the carrying of a firearm in public will be discussed. Morals and tactics are also discussed in the 1-day course. The student is responsible for providing their own firearm and 50 rounds of ammunition. The class is mandatory for those wanting to be eligible to obtain a permit to carry. Renewal for the permit is required every five years. The class is held on the second Saturday of each month from 1-5 p.m. at the Roosevelt Education Center and the Field Range at the Fergus Falls Rifle & Pistol Club, 508 West Adolphus Avenue in Fergus Falls.
A youth firearm safety class is also offered by community education. The class will consist of four classroom sessions. Each participant must attend all class sessions, plus a field day. The minimum age to join the class is 11, if the student will be 12 by hunting season 2022. A carbon copy registration form must be filled out at the community education office. The class size is limited, and will be held at the Roosevelt Education Center on Jun. 13, 16, 20, 23, from 6-8 p.m. The field date is scheduled for Jun. 25. The fee is $5.
Pre-registration is required for the classes and is available by calling Fergus Falls Community Education at 218-998-0544, ext. 9200, or by visiting ce.fergusotters.org. The community education office is located at 340 Friberg Avenue in Fergus Falls.

Question: I saw your recent article about flooded roads. Do you have any advice on what a person should do if their vehicle plunges into the water?
Answer: The dynamics of such an incident are ever-changing, so there is no one answer that will cover it all. Having witnessed and responded to these types of situations, here is what I would recommend.
Most vehicles will float on the water’s surface for 30 to 60 seconds. If your vehicle enters deep water, make every attempt to get out immediately. If possible, exit the vehicle through open windows before the water reaches the window level.
If your vehicle becomes submerged, try not to panic. Vehicle doors cannot be opened until water pressure inside the car is equal to that pressure outside. When the vehicle is completely filled, doors can be opened, if there is no structural damage.
The engine’s weight will cause the front end of the car to sink first. The rear passenger compartment may provide an air pocket while you plan your escape strategy. If there are other people in the vehicle, determine their condition and try to exit the vehicle together.
I would advise everyone to take swimming lessons. This is a life skill that can save your life and the life of someone else.
If you have any questions concerning traffic related laws or issues in Minnesota, send your questions to Trp. Jesse Grabow – Minnesota State Patrol at 1000 Highway 10 West, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501-2205. (You can follow him on Twitter @MSPPIO_NW or reach him at, jesse.grabow@state.mn.us).

Everyone’s heard of and most have been affected by addiction of some form. Whether it’s substances, gambling, eating or shopping, it’s all too well known, the downward spiral it takes people. There is another addiction, however, that has the ability to mess a person up a bit too. I, myself, am afflicted, as well as many people I’ve come into contact with while in it. Though, there’s a good chance they aren’t even aware of it themselves. Plain and simply, I’m addicted to chaos.
I used to be what one might call pretty “strait-laced”. I was the kid with the strict parents. I didn’t get to stay out at night or close the door when a guy was in my room. I was content being the good kid. That is, until I was introduced to some new people that were a bit different than the cliquey small town friends I was used to.
I went from one side of the spectrum to the very opposite of it. I was a privileged kid that could’ve always went home to a warm bed, but I wanted to couch surf and hang along for the ride. Even the people around me couldn’t comprehend why I’d ever choose to be in such a dark place, but once I was shown a lifestyle so unpredictable and full of risks, I fell in love with it. It wasn’t like I just enjoyed doing illicit things. I didn’t even need to participate, honestly. The thrill for me was sitting back and watching it all unfold out in front of me. I felt like I was a part of some demented sitcom and getting into the most far-fetched and ludicrous of situations.
Why would this be though? What would make a person want so badly to be apart of a lifestyle everyone wishes they could get out of? I think it all comes down to this — my generation is one of instant gratification, deprived of validation and found out too much about the world too fast.
Social media didn’t always play a major part in everybody’s lives, but it started to become huge when everyone my age was become a teenager. Soon, people were competing to have a better persona than anyone else. Photoshop started gaining its popularity, and FaceTune came later on. Insecure people were getting even more insecure, “fixing” how they looked with software and then, ended up even more insecure watching others do the same, thinking it was real. Most got so closed off, the premise of going out and meeting people felt foreign. The world was the most connected it had ever been, yet most had never felt so alone. People were getting famous for nothing, everybody was perfect and nothing was real.
Many say my generation feels entitled to everything, is too emotional and is completely reckless, but what else could be expected? My generation grew up watching people get fame and glory without lifting a finger. We were constantly shown a level of perfection impossible to achieve without alteration and told it was the standard. My generation got broadsided with the darkest parts of the world and we saw so much that a lot of us became numb to it all. The only time someone could really feel anything were in times of complete chaos.
Almost everyone I know my age, including me, feels restless and as if they’re missing out on something. Everything we desired in the world was held right in front of us, just out of reach and well within view. At the end of the day, when everything is chaotic, that’s when a lot of us feel the most alive, for some, the only time.

PUSHING FORWARD: Otters Naomi Dummer runs during the CLC indoor meet this past Saturday. Dummer was apart of the 4 x 800-meter relay team, she also ran the 1600-meter.
The Fergus Falls Otters girls track and field team joined fellow Central Lakes Conference (CLC) teams for the annual indoor meet, which was held on Apr. 2, at Saint John’s University. Fergus Falls finished in a tie for sixth place with Sauk Rapids-Rice, as both teams scored 27 points. Rocori took the team title with 144 points and Alexandria finished second, with 131.
The highlight of the day for the Otters was Ainsley Hansen setting the school and meet record in the high jump. Hansen, a senior, was the last jumper going and after scratching her first two jumps at five feet six and a half inches, she cleared the bar on her final jump. The previous school record had been held by Sharon (Kunz) Casey, which was set in 1982, at 5-6.3. The CLC indoor record had been a 5-6, which was set in 2009.
“We had great performances on the track and in the field,” mentioned Otters coach Niki Welde. “Hansen stole the show, I am very excited for her, getting the school record has been a goal of hers for years. Having it be a CLC record sweetens the deal that much more.”
Ella Starzl scored in three different events throughout the day. She was fifth in the high jump (4-10) and also fifth in the long jump (15-01). Starzl was also a part of the 4 x 200-meter relay team, which finished in sixth place with a time of two minutes 3.13 seconds. The four sprinters were: Megan Tossett, Talia Nelson, Siiri Smestad and Starzl.
“Out of the gates, she has shown her strength on the track and field,” said Welde, when discussing the start of the season for Starzl.
Sarah Grotberg tallied a couple of points with a seventh place finish in the 3200-meter run. She finished with a time of 13:56.84.
The Otters are set to host their first home meet of the spring, the Harrington Early Bird Classic, on Apr. 8. Weather could play a factor into the meet.

Minnesota’s struggling northern moose population is showing some hopeful signs of stability and possible recovery.
Head counts stayed relatively stable in 2022 for the 11 consecutive year, while calves now make up nearly 20% of the population, the highest since 2005, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said earlier this week.
While the DNR described the January survey results as good news and said researchers were optimistic about the immediate future, the agency also cautioned that moose numbers are 47% below their 2006 peak and that the animals still face long-term risks.
Among its findings, the 2022 survey estimates the moose population at 4,700, statistically unchanged from the last survey in 2020 but the highest since 2011, when the population was midway through a steep decline.
The estimated calf-cow ratio this year was 45 calves per 100 cows. The percentage of calves and the calf-cow ratio are the highest since 2005, when the population was near its peak and considered healthy, the DNR said in a statement.
“Both factors are indicators of potential improvement in reproductive success, which has a positive impact on population numbers,” researchers said.
After peaking at an estimate of 8,840 animals in 2006, the moose population in Minnesota’s Arrowhead region plummeted between 2009 and 2012.
A landmark mortality study launched by the DNR found that parasites like brain worm and winter ticks, infections and wolves were responsible for the majority of adult moose deaths. Wolves and bears were killing large numbers of moose calves.
The 2022 moose survey was conducted through overflights of about 6,000 square miles of the northeastern quarter of the state by helicopter in early January. The DNR uses computer modeling to translate moose sightings into wider population estimates.
The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the 1854 Treaty Authority helped pay for and staff the annual population survey.
