AUGUSTA, Ga. — Anna Davis entered Saturday's final round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur tournament right in the middle of the hunt to potentially win. Davis was one of the youngest players in the field, but she felt no pressure as she approached Championship Saturday.
"I was trying not to put pressure on myself or anything like that knowing that I was an underdog in the field and that no one expected me to win, so I was just out there trying to have fun and play my best," Davis said.
That mindset seemed to work, as Davis worked her way through the front nine at Augusta. She thought she may have a chance at winning after sinking a long putt heading into the turn.
"After hole nine, I hit a birdie on that hole and then I didn't miss a fairway or a green. I missed three greens total on Saturday, so I was like 'yeah, there's a pretty good chance of me winning this'," Davis said.
On the back nine, Davis played bogey-free golf and made it through the infamous Amen Corner at two under par. She finished at one-under for the tournament. Davis had experience in leading important tournaments in the final round, she won the Junior PGA Championship last year. This experience helped her stay calm and not worry about the leaderboard.
"Going into the last round and having a chance to win, having those experiences have helped me stay calm and collected during the round," Davis said.
That steely demeanor paid off, as Davis was the only golfer to finish with a score under par for the tournament and became the youngest golfer to ever win the Augusta National Women's Amateur title.
"I kind of underestimated myself, I kind of didn't expect to win this event. If you would have told me a year ago that I was going to win I would have said you were insane," Davis said.
Following her historic victory, Davis received hundreds of complimentary messages of support from friends, family and some recognizable professional golfers including Bryson DeChambeau and Clarkston's Joel Dahmen. However, it was the shout outs she received from two legends of the sport that really blew her away.
"On Sunday I was at the drive, chip and putt thing and people kept walking up to me like 'Oh my God! Tiger Woods just shouted you out on his Twitter!' I was like, there's no way!" Davis exclaimed.
Davis also received kudos from the man many regard as the greatest golfer of all time.
"Jack Nicklaus shouted me out and I said this just keeps getting better!" Davis exclaimed.
The San Diego native who spent her summers in Chewelah growing up became just the third woman to win the ANWA championship at a course which, up until just 10 years ago, did not allow female members.
"I think it's pretty cool to be the youngest woman who has history at Augusta National and I think it's really cool that we are growing the women's game now," Davis said.
It was quite a prestigious honor for the budding 16-year-old sensation. Due to Davis's victory, she is now eligible to play in two LPGA majors this year: the US Open and The Open Championship.
She will next play in the LPGA Palos Verdes Championship on April 28th using an amateur exemption.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Drew Timme announced on Thursday that he is declaring for the NBA draft.
His statement originally did not disclose whether or not he had either not signed with an agent or had signed with an agent that was NCAA certified. That is important because if he did either of those things, then he would maintain his collegiate eligibility and could withdraw from the NBA Draft any time before June 1 at 9 PM PT to come back and play for Gonzaga. Friday night, Drew Timme's dad, Matt, confirmed that his son had hired an agent that was NCAA certified, thus keeping his eligibility.
However, those of us at KREM wanted to look into what it would mean for the Zags if Timme were to go the professional route.
THE AGE OF ANTON
Perhaps the most important news to people in Spokane: If Timme leaves, I think this absolutely means Anton Watson will start next season. Drew's departure would open the door for one of his best friends in the world to take center stage. Anton would take over at the four position, the position Timme holds right now.
Watson began his freshman year starting as Killian Tillie was injured and began his sophomore year starting for the Zags' first 17 games before the staff decided to insert Andrew Nembhard into the starting lineup. He did not start a game for the Zags this season. When he hasn't been starting the past two years, he's been the Zags' number one option off the bench. He's had his hot and cold moments in that role.
This year, he averaged 7.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. That should go up next year if he's in the starting lineup, as he averaged 18.5 minutes per game last season. For comparison, the Zags' #2 big this year, Chet Holmgren, averaged 26.4 minutes per game last year.
ZAGS GONE PORTALING
If Timme leaves, that would clear the way for Gonzaga to recruit a big time big in the transfer portal. Drew's status has to be a question potential transfers are asking about, as it would impact their playing time. After all, he was second on the team in minutes to only Andrew Nembhard.
Wednesday, highly touted Utah Valley transfer Fardaws Aimaq told ESPN's Jeff Borzello that Gonzaga was one of nine schools he was looking at after it was previously reported that the Zags hadn't made his top five. Aimaq averaged 18.9 points and finished second in the nation with 13.6 rebounds per game in 2021-2022. He also averaged 1.3 blocks per game. That would be a huge get for Gonzaga and someone to absolutely keep an eye on, especially if Timme solidifies his status in the near future.
Another note when it comes to the transfer portal is that if Timme leaves, I fully expect the Zags to go after a shot blocker who's an enforcer inside. With Anton as my projected starter at the four, I think this means that Julian Strawther will stay at the three position next year. Some fans have wondered if the Zags would go small ball and start him at the four.
BULLDOG BABIES NO MORE
With Gonzaga's 2023 recruiting class only having one big currently in forward Braden Huff, who is not expected to play immediately, Drew Timme potentially leaving could be absolutely huge news for Ben Gregg and Kaden Perry.
The duo sparingly saw playing time this year, though Perry did see more than Gregg before Perry injured his back and subsequently was out for the rest of the season. I very much doubt that the staff will get two bigs in the portal, so if Timme leaves, we will definitely see more of those two next season.
The question is, who will it be?
Traditionally, Mark Few has kept his bigs rotation at three, so, most likely, one of these two will get the majority of the minutes over the other, assuming Gonzaga gets a transfer big.
Like I said, Perry was the staff's big of choice this year between the duo, but will his back issues linger? They've been going on for nearly a year now and something to monitor as the off-season progresses.
The duo also differ in playing styles, as Perry has consistently been compared to former Zag big Brandon Clarke, meaning he's more of a shot blocker inside. Meanwhile, Ben Gregg is more of a Rui Hachimura-type, meaning a big who can occasionally shoot the three. Perry shot zero threes this season, while Gregg shot 4-of-13 from beyond the arc. If the staff has to choose between the two, it'll be interesting to see what style they select.

WASHINGTON — For better or worse, no one got dirtier than Pete Alonso. The brawny slugger played a smashmouth brand of baseball Thursday night against the Nationals that ended with the area around his mouth getting smashed.
The only result that likely mattered to the first baseman and the Mets was their 5-1 victory at Nationals Park, a successful Opening Day and one that featured plenty of action, good, bad and ugly, from Alonso.
But it ended with the ugly. In the ninth inning, Washington’s Mason Thompson drilled him with a 94-mph fastball that appeared to bounce off his face guard and hit him in the face. Alonso was down for several moments, took a couple of steps toward first base, then listened to manager Buck Showalter and left the game with a trainer.
Before the ugly, Alonso was part of a few strange plays, the most memorable when he tried but failed to score from first on a fourth-inning double to the wall in left-center by Eduardo Escobar.
Alonso, not gifted with speed, chugged around second and third, where he appeared to slip, but kept hobbling toward home. Meanwhile, Victor Robles chased down the ball and lobbed it in to shortstop Alcides Escobar, who perfectly twirled and threw a strike that nailed Alonso at the plate, keeping the game scoreless.
Alonso, who asked for a review that was upheld, had a rough time with Escobar all game.
In the third inning, James McCann appeared to gun down Escobar at first base on a pickoff, throwing behind the former Royal. Alonso caught the throw and lunged to where Escobar should have been. But Escobar was so far off the bag that he had time to elude the tag from a sprawling Alonso. He originally was called out, but replay review showed he angled his body around Alonso’s glove.
What might have been a thoroughly frustrating season opener for Alonso turned in the sixth inning, when his second single of the night — a looper to right — started a rally. He moved to second on a wild pitch, then was sprinting around third again on a Mark Canha single to center. The ball was hit softly enough that there was no throw home, so the (literally) dirtiest player in the game didn’t get any dirtier.
Alonso couldn’t add to his damage with a double-play grounder in the seventh and finished 2-for-4 with the hit by pitch and a run scored.
In what was a largely disappointing 2021 season for the Mets, Alonso was a rare constant. He slammed 37 home runs, and while a far cry from the 53 he had launched in his rookie season, Alonso’s bat often kept the Mets afloat.
“The 2022 season starts today. The end goal is to live the dream of being the last team standing,” Alonso wrote on social media before the win.
On the first night of the campaign, the Mets were still upright — even if Alonso was well-acquainted with the dirt.

Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building and US Court House
HONOLULU (KITV4) -- The prosecution in the federal drug trafficking trial of Dr. Rudy Puana, the brother of former Honolulu deputy prosecutor Katherine Kealoha, called several members of law enforcement to the stand on Thursday.
Sgt. Daniel Sellers, a 25-year veteran of the Honolulu Police Department, a longtime friend of Puana, and Ex-boyfriend of Kathrine Kealoha was a key witness.
Sellers acknowledged that he dated Kathrine Keaaloha for 4-5 years when he was a junior in high school. During that time, Sellers says he met Puana and they became friends. .
Sellers also described the time in 2015 when he came to Puana’s apartment in Honolulu and Puana allegedly brought out a bag of cocaine.
Sellers told the court, “I just got up and left...It was like a bomb went off. I didn’t know what to do, probably for the first time in my career.”
In his testimony, Sellers said he did not bring the incident to the attention of law enforcement but did bring it to the attention of Kathrine Kealoha and says he told her, “your brother is f'd up."
Sellers says she responded saying, "Yeah, I know."
In another meeting in 2015, Sellers claims Puana allegedly told him, “Danny, you have some bad dudes in your department."
Puana also allegedly told Sellers that one of the officers in his department -- Officer Alan Ahn -- had a girlfriend who sold drugs and was who Rudy was getting his cocaine from.
Sellers said he wrote an "information notice" to his captain about Ahn and his girlfriend. Sellers says a surveillance operation was then mounted in coordination with Kathrine Kealoha and a drug bust was made at the house in August 2015. Cocaine and marijah and pill bottles were found at the house.
In the cross examination, the defense asked Sellers if he was aware of the alleged drug activity going on at Ahn's girlfriend's house. He told the court no.
Kathrine Kealoha is listed as a prosecution witness and may appear when court resumes Friday.
As someone who grew up in foster care, the only thing that mattered to me was finding love and belonging. Being able to connect with the community as a reporter in Hawaii is why I do what I do.

HONOLULU (AP) — A U.S. Navy officer stationed in Hawaii says in a lawsuit that he can’t get a gun permit because he sought counseling for feeling depressed and homesick.
Michael Santucci’s lawsuit is the latest challenge to Hawaii’s gun ownership restrictions. His lawsuit focuses on a state law that allows access to an applicant’s medical records in determining whether someone should be allowed to own a gun, which his lawyers say is unique to Hawaii.
Santucci wasn’t diagnosed with any disqualifying behavioral, emotional or mental disorder. His lawyers say it's unconstitutional to require a medical evaluation to exercise a fundamental right when there’s no evidence of mental illness.
The state attorney general's office declines to comment.

LAHAINA, Maui (KITV4) - Mala Wharf, a small boat harbor on Maui's west shore, is considered culturally significant to Native Hawaiians.
Once a fishing village, the area remains a popular fishing spot for local residents who say the harbor has become inundated with tourists over recent years, largely thanks to social media promoting it as an ideal snorkeling site.
"You'll have people that are parasailing, you have boat tours, you have snorkeling, you have scuba divers," said Maui native Tiare Lawrence, who frequents the wharf with her family. "I took my son this last Sunday, and we couldn't even cast our line because where we like to go was just, you know, tourists everywhere."
Lawrence also runs cultural programs at the wharf, taking kids on Hawaiian voyaging canoes.
"We've had situations where we'll launch our canoes, we don't have trailer parking because all the commercial operators consume all of the trailer parking," Lawrence added.
"We show up, there's no parking because all the rental cars are taking up all the parking."
Lawrence argues the overcrowding infringes on her rights as a Native Hawaiian to practice customary traditions, such as fishing and canoe paddling.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources has granted commercial permits to 16 companies for Mala Wharf.
One permit-holder is private charter company owner Woody Woodward, who said all operators are respectful of Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners and act as stewards of the area, often hosting clean ups.
"It's sad, really, it's gotten to this point I think us original 16, we try to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture, and that's the whole part, that's what people want to see and we've been doing that. It's unfortunate we have a target on our back," Woodward said.
Woodward and Lawrence agree there are are too many unpermitted commercial operators there -- and little to no enforcement.
Lawrence is seeking legal action. Her attorney Christina Lizzi says the DLNR's commercial permits do not limit how often or how long operators can use the ramp.
"So they're basically given a permit, and then they have free reign on what to do down there," Lizzi said. "One of the problems here is that the agency is issuing these permits, without really looking at all the laws it's supposed to when it does."
Lizzi added the DLNR has repeatedly denied her clients' requests for contested case hearings since they began filing for them in July 2021.
There are currently two outstanding appeals in court, and Lizzi expects the final ruling to come down by June.
DLNR decline to comment due to the pending litigation.

HONOLULU (KITV4) -- Sea turtle nesting period has arrived and the Marine Corps Base is announcing the suspension of overnight camping at Bellows Field Beach Park.
The closure is necessary to ensure the safety of the sea turtles, which are a federally-protected, endangered species, and culturally significant to Hawaii. The overnight suspension will only apply during the 19 weeks the turtles nest, incubate, and hatch along the shoreline, Marine Corps officials said.
The campground closure will begin on Monday, April 18 through Thursday, September 1, but may be extended past Labor Day Weekend.
Weekend day use will continue to remain open to the public.
Once a nesting site is confirmed, the area surrounding the nest will be closed off from human use.
Signs will be posted at public facilities with information about the turtle nesting sites.
If you see a nesting turtle or hatchlings on Bellows Beach, please call (808) 448-4916.

Airtel, Telkom blocked from M-Pesa paybill, given till access
Friday April 08 2022Summary
- The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) will Friday launch the interoperability — the ability of different IT systems to communicate and exchange data —of the two rival networks for merchant payments.
- Through interoperability, the CBK has been pushing to replicate the linkage between Airtel Money and M-Pesa that was introduced four years ago.
- From 2024, mobile phone users will be able to deposit and withdraw cash from any agent irrespective of the network they are on.
Airtel and Telkom users will not access Safaricom’s #ticker:SCOM pay-bill platform after Friday’s launch of seamless transfer of money through merchants attached to different operators.
The interoperability system will allow Airtel and Telkom Kenya subscribers to pay for goods and services through Safaricom’s till number.
But their access to Safaricom’s pay-bill will be delayed until next year, said an executive in one of the telecoms firms, in shifts aimed at curbing the dominance of Lipa na M-Pesa.
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) will Friday launch the interoperability — the ability of different IT systems to communicate and exchange data —of the two rival networks for merchant payments.
“This is the first phase of this regulator-led initiative and it will allow Kenyans to make mobile money payments directly to an M-Pesa till number from any network,” said a telecommunications official who sought anonymity ahead of Friday’s launch.
“Interoperability will offer a faster, more affordable, secure, and convenient alternative to cash payments and also eliminate the hassle of transferring money across networks before making payments.”
Through interoperability, the CBK has been pushing to replicate the linkage between Airtel Money and M-Pesa that was introduced four years ago.
Users can send money across mobile phone networks, meaning that cash can be sent from M-Pesa and it reflects in an Airtel Money wallet.
From 2024, mobile phone users will be able to deposit and withdraw cash from any agent irrespective of the network they are on.
This will be akin to what happens with card payments where merchants use a single gadget that serves multiple banks.
Regulators led by the CBK have been fronting for a seamless transfer to curb the dominance of Safaricom’s mobile money service and Lipa na M-Pesa, which handled payments worth Sh970.2 billion in the year to January.
Airtel’s version of merchant payments services, dubbed Lipa na Airtel Money, is used much less compared to Safaricom’s, a market position that is in line with its stake in the mobile money transfer service.
There are no customer charges for payments made using Lipa na M-Pesa Buy Goods segment except for settlements made at fuel stations.
Business owners are charged a maximum of 0.5 percent or not more than Sh200 per transaction for money collected on the till, says Safaricom on its websites.
The CBK said the increased use of mobile money at agents and merchants through platforms like Lipa na M-Pesa had been constrained by lack of interconnection among the telecommunications operators.
More than 30 million people in Kenya use M-Pesa, which also allows users to send cash and make payments by phone, save and borrow. Safaricom had 258,000 mobile money agents at the end of September, leaving rivals to control the remaining 31,255 outlets.
Cashless transactions
This dominance plays out in the merchant payment segment.
Safaricom’s Lipa na M-Pesa merchants grew by 72.8 percent to 387,000 in the review period, highlighting the impact of increased preference for cashless transactions.
Its till and pay-bill service has risen to take an 85.8 percent market share of non-cash payment for ordinary goods and services, underlining the entrenchment of the mobile money platform in everyday transactions.
Lipa na M-Pesa was launched in June 2013 and has aggressively recruited merchants across the country, including large and small businesses such as fuel stations, supermarkets, corner shops and eateries.
This has seen it overtake the card payments — run by banks and their global payments technology partners such as Visa and Mastercard — that have largely focused on serving formal retailers.
Merchants signed up for Lipa na M-Pesa are charged a fee of up to 0.5 percent of the value of the transaction and customers may also incur the same level of fees to use the service.

Welcome to our live blog dedicated to helping your journey run smoothly. We will mostly focus on the traffic chaos continues across Kent due to the 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.
All non-freight traffic is being urged to use the A20 instead of the M20. On the other hand, freight traffic which comes off at J8 of the M20 is then sent back down into the holding areas as they await clearance to head to the Channel Crossings.
READ MORE: Operation Brock: Dramatic photos show extent of M20 traffic chaos as Dover brought to a standstill
We will also be adding updates on Kent and Medway's roads and rail too and the very latest updates, pictures and video. If you have any pictures or information to share with us about this or any other story, you can email breakingsoutheast@reachplc.com
See below for the latest.
Key Events
Higham roadworks cause delays
Drivers going through Higham will face long delays as temporary traffic lights set up for roadworks in Pear Lane have stopped working.
Higham, A226 Gravesend Road. Traffic lights at the Pear Tree Lane junction are not working. An engineer is attending. Expect delays in the area & approach with caution: https://t.co/EOMgtAR4bp
— KCC Highways (@KentHighways) April 8, 2022
Operation Brock diversion route
As lorries queue on the motorway, local traffic / any non freight vehicles, as well as Eurotunnel cars and holiday traffic, are being diverted to the A20 instead. All freight traffic for Eurotunnel or Dover must go through this holding area.
Dover A2 update
The A2 / Jubilee Way on the coastbound carriageway is closed due to traffic. This is due to a management system to prevent lorries from trying to bypass the holding areas between A258 (St Margaret's At Cliffe / Deal Rondabout ) and A20 (Eastern Docks roundabout).
Non freight traffic is being diverted to Castle Hill Road.
M20 update
According to traffic monitoring site Inrix; the M20 coastbound closed due to Operation Brock as the motorway is being used to hold lorries heading for the channel crossings between J8 (Leeds Castle / Maidstone Services) and J11 (Hythe / Westenhanger).
The London-bound side remains open to all traffic.
Welcome to the blog
Good morning and welcome to KentLive’s breaking traffic and travel updates - bringing you the latest information from the roads, trains and buses. This morning we'll be dedicating our coverage mostly to Operation Brock.

The New Jersey gym-owner who made national headlines for defying the state’s COVID-19 restrictions and who is now running for congress made sure to tell cops he was a candidate when he was arrested for drunk driving, footage shows.
Ian Smith, who risked jail time to keep his Atilis Gym in Bellmawr open throughout the pandemic, was arrested in Cinnaminson in the early hours of March 27 — 15 years after he killed a teenager in a drunken crash.
“You know I’m a congressional candidate for this district, right?” Smith says to the arresting officer while cuffed in the back of a cruiser, according to dashcam and bodycam footage obtained by NJ.com.
Footage shows Smith’s truck swerving in and out of his lane on Route 130, nearly hitting another vehicle at one point before the officer pulled him over.
Smith told the officer that he only drank one margarita at a local taco restaurant, video shows. He said the suspension on his trunk makes it difficult to control. After several sobriety tests, Smith said that the margarita had been a double, according to the video.
He refused to take a breathalyzer test and was charged with driving under the influence, as well as reckless and careless driving. He is due in court on April 14.
Smith and his campaign, however, denied that he was drunk and said he refused the breath test due his distrust in the government.
“I was pulled over, passed a sobriety test (in poor conditions), and was arrested,” Smith insisted in an Instagram post last week. “My choice to not submit to a breathalyzer reflects my distrust after 2 years of persecution.”
He’s been issued major daily fines and mounting legal costs into the millions for keeping his gym open.
Video shows officers administering eye tracking tests and balance tests to Smith in a parking lot off the highway. After he’s cuffed, he tells officers he believed he past all the tests in spite of the windy conditions.
“Standing out here on a windy highway, I did not pass that test that you just gave me? You’re submitting me to balance tests, which I did,” Smith says in the video.
Once in the backseat of the patrol car, an officer remarks to Smith “how poor your driving was, how poor your test was.”
Smith then seems to question whether his arrest was some kind of setup.
“You didn’t get paid to do this?” Smith asks the officer en route to the station.
“I didn’t get paid to do what?” the officer responds. “I’m doing my job. I don’t know what you mean. Get paid to do what?”
After a moment of silence, Smith then mentions his campaign. “You know that I’m a congressional candidate in this district, right, and that there’s a (inaudible) on me,” Smith said.
Smith is challenging two-term Democratic Rep. Andy Kim, a former Obama White House staffer.
He has been candid about his 2007 drunk driving crash that killed 19-year-old student Kevin Ade.
“It’s something I accept full responsibility for,” he said in a video confessional in May 2020 of the crash when he was a 20-year-old student.

BCSO needs your help solving multiple cases
Cases range from theft and burglary, to property damage.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office needs your help in a few cases it’s investigating.
First, deputies are looking for 27-year-old Tyler Bliss. He’s wanted in connection to a package theft on Paddington Drive in Lizella on March 29. He’s also wanted for a burglary on Bridgewood Drive, in which two dirt bikes were stolen.
Deputies say Bliss has been seen driving a red Ford Fusion with a black stripe on the passenger side of the hood. The Sheriff’s Office says he might be driving a blue Ford 4-wheel drive extended cab pickup truck.
The second case involves suspicious activities. Investigators say the person pictured below has been seen in the Missouri and Columbus Road areas in Lizella.
They say the suspect drives a blue Ford pickup shown in the photo, and has been accompanied by a female with blonde hair on one occasion.
The Sheriff’s Office asks that if you see this person or truck involved in suspicious activity in your area, get the tag number on the truck if you safely can, and call them at (478) 751-7500.
The other case involves property damage. Bibb county investigators say this person seen in a surveillance photo below, damaged a window at the Marathon gas station on Walnut Street on Thursday.
If you have any information on any of these incidents, call Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.

Cooler conditions move in for the weekend
Severe storms moved out of the area earlier today, leaving us with dry air and breezy conditions.
A secondary front is moving through the area this evening which will help reinforce the cooler, drier air.
High temperatures for the rest of the week will be cooler than normal, in the 60s with lows in the 30s.
Dry weather will continue through the weekend as we slowly start to see a return of warmer weather.
80s return for much of next week, as we start to see increasing humidity by Tuesday.
Rain and storm chances will be moving for the later half of the week, with potential for a few strong storms.

Twins from Southwest High School are headed to Columbus State
Shamar and Jamar Clayton will continue their academic and athletic careers at Columbus State University.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — The Clayton twins, Shamar and Jamar, from Southwest High School, signed their National Letter of Intent to continue their academic and athletic careers at Columbus State University.
“This moment is a blessing for me and my twin,” said Shamar.
“It’s a meal ticket,” said Jamar.
“I’m scared. Like I’m scared and happy at the same time that I’m doing it with my twin. Somebody I’ve been with for years,” said Shamar.
The recruitment process was unique for the twins. Instead of being directly recruited by a coach, they became their own promoters and took matters into their own hands.
“They reached out to the coaches and had an opportunity to let them see the film. So you got to be that tenacious to want to do that and have that dedication to make somebody believe in you,” said Southwest football head coach Joe Dupree.
And, of course, I had to ask the hard-hitting question we all have in mind.
“Are you guys going to be rooming together? That’s the real question,” I asked.
“I hope so,” said Shamar, while Jamar had a more firm feeling.
“We are. We are,” said Jamar.
Going off to college alone can be hard at times, but having your literal womb partner right beside you makes things a lot easier.
“Him staying with me, it really keeps us bound. He knows my limits as I know him. He can get me out of certain situations that I’m not supposed to be in. Just keep me on track,” said Shamar.
“I don’t care how aggravating he gets, but that’s my brother, and we are going to stick together no matter what. No matter what,” said Jamar.
Shamar and Jamar are heading to Columbus State in the fall, and good luck to their coaches trying to tell the twins apart for the first few weeks.

KLCC has covered stories about the pandemic’s hard-hitting effects on Eugene-area businesses, including restaurants that shut down for good. But one eatery has rebounded like a vigorously kneaded ball of dough, to the delight of its customers and employees. We report on the revival of Lox, Stocks, and Bagels in South Eugene.
In the pre-dawn hours, Maxwell Davis dropped gooey loops of dough into a large, bubbling kettle of water mixed with salt and baking soda. Moments later, they rose to the surface like life rings bobbing across a stormy sea.
“Once they start floating, we’re good,” said Davis, grabbing a long metal scoop. “Get these guys out, then we gotta take those ones in the oven out.”
Davis is president of Boiled and Baked LLC, which operates as Lox, Stocks, and Bagels. Like others in the food industry, he’s weathered a storm brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdowns, decreased traffic, and fears of contagion over the past two years upended businesses all over Eugene and beyond. But Davis has kept up his humor, and standards.
“By definition, a bagel should be boiled so I like to call other bagels in quotes, ‘circle bread,’” laughed Davis. “But what it does in terms of the baking process, is the steam is going to make the inside a little bit more doughy and gooier than typical bread would be, and that outside will have a little bit of a nice crunch to it.”
Lox, Stocks, and Bagels was already becoming a local favorite, garnering customers after long-standing bakery Humble Bagel closed in 2019. But last December, the previous owners announced it would shutter over the holiday season, raising questions if it’d return. Two months later, Davis was announced as the new owner. He told KLCC that he took out a loan to buy the store, and is revving up operations.
“There’s now a 10 percent profit sharing program, and everybody got some pay raises, so yeah, it’s been good. It’s been a helluva lot of work, but we’re trudging along. It's definitely been an adjustment doing the morning bakes every single day, but yeah, it’s been going great.”
It was just Davis for a few hours on the morning I visited (though he keeps KLCC on the radio during his prep) readying dozens of bagels and bialys for customers filing in for Lox, Stocks, and Bagels’ second act. By the time the door opens for business, the air is thick with the aroma of garlic, onion, poppyseeds, and blueberries, among other flavors.
Customer Ben Hallert of Springfield is a fan.
“I’ve been coming here since the previous ownership, and the transition to the new ownership? Man, I love everything they’ve done. The commitment that the original owner had, looking around I can see these people put their hearts and souls into keeping all the stuff that was great and expanding on it.”
Store manager Ben Garcia helped take orders and prepare food. He ticked off the crucial bagels they have to keep stocked every day for customers.
“Everythings, sesames, cheese bagels, plains…those are the ones we can’t run out of, so we’ll make a lot more of those throughout the day than anything else.”
The store also innovates with its menu. Among the offerings today is a beet-cured lox, which Garcia is excited about.
Eugene resident Marc Danis lives across the street from Lox, Stocks, and Bagels. He’s a regular here for one simple reason.
“These are absolutely the best bagels in town. I don’t know what New York is offering, but we’ve got it covered on the West Coast, y’know. They’re crunchy, they’re tasty, they’re addictive.”
Owner Maxwell Davis said they plan to get to a seven-day business schedule in May, as well as explore a second location, perhaps in the 5th Street Market area. For now, he’s happy with the uptick in sales and response he’s received from the South Eugene community.
“We really just aim to be welcoming, and provide an atmosphere that allows everybody to feel safe, comfortable, and just have some delicious food and hang out with your neighbors, so that’s the goal, that’s the goal of the bagel shop.”

ANAHEIM — The faces have mostly changed.
The reaction hasn’t.
From the athletic trainers to the coaches to the players, the Houston Astros were introduced before a regular-season crowd for the first time Thursday night at Angel Stadium. To a man, they were booed. That included catcher Martin Maldonado, who was catching for the Angels while the Astros were cheating their way to a championship in 2017. (Let the record show that Maldonado did receive a smattering of applause.)
The loudest boos were saved for Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve and Yuli Gurriel, the three remaining participants in the Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing scandal who batted Thursday. There was actually a fourth participant on the field, but Max Stassi wasn’t booed. He plays for the Angels now.
As the number of sign-stealing holdovers dwindle, the Astros’ story becomes less about the traveling hate parade that follows them, and more about karmic potential left unfulfilled. Much has changed in five years. One thing that hasn’t: the Astros are good enough to win – perhaps good enough to win a World Series – without stealing signs illegally.
There is no justice in Houston, just a solidly constructed baseball team year after year. Impervious to their inherited reputation, the Astros simply find new players to maintain their mini-dynasty – five consecutive American League Championship Series appearances, including three trips to the World Series.
This might be the year the Astros cede control of the AL West, but there are few reasons to believe it so far. Thursday, it was Framber Valdez, the burly Dominican left-hander, whose pitching upstaged a historic Opening Day start by Shohei Ohtani in the Astros’ 3-1 win.
Valdez, generating few reasons to boo him on merit, has emerged as a bona fide top-of-the-rotation starter for the best team in the division. He mostly pitches to contact, mostly throws three pitches, and rarely throws anything harder than 95 mph. Yet he took a one-hitter into the seventh inning against the Angels’ “A” lineup – Ohtani, Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon were playing together for only the 19th time.
Health permitting, there will be many nights in 2022 when the most-heralded Angels do enough to outshine their opponents by themselves. Valdez would not allow it on Opening Day.
Just before exiting, Valdez survived a Rendon fly ball that landed foul by inches in left field, then induced a double-play groundout to hold the Astros’ lead at 1-0. He also benefited from an adventurous day in left field by Jo Adell, the Angels’ young phenom.
The Angels will get another chance to move the plot forward, but the next chapter of their rivalry with the Astros is already reading a lot like the last. They will begin the 2022 season a game behind Houston.
George Springer, Marwin Gonzalez and Carlos Correa all play elsewhere now. Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann retired years ago. Perhaps the announced crowd of 44,723 was not ready to divorce the the new stars – Valdez, Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker – from the sins of their predecessors Thursday. That matters little in the end. The Astros are still good.

LOS ANGELES –– In a battle for playoff seeding, the Kings looked less like ready-for-prime time players than the Edmonton Oilers.
Connor McDavid set a career high with his 42nd goal and added an assist as the Oilers defeated the Kings, 3-2, on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena. Evan Bouchard also had a goal and two assists for the Oilers, who have won six straight and 12 of their past 15 to take a three-point lead over the Kings for second place in the Pacific Division.
The Kings, who have lost two straight and four of their last six, have nine games remaining and Edmonton has 10. The Kings are still four points ahead of the fourth-place Vegas Golden Knights, keeping the Kings out of the wild-card discussion for now.
If the season were to end today, the Kings and Oilers would meet in a first-round playoff series, with Edmonton holding home ice for a potential Game 7. That might not be the worst news for the Kings, who own a modest .541 points percentage at home but have posted a robust .657 mark on the road.
The Kings played with some gusto in the middle stages of Thursday’s game, but they bookended it with a sluggish start and a fizzling finish.
“There are some preventable moments in tonight’s game. First of all, an awful line change on our behalf; we skated right by arguably the best player in the world when he was going 100 miles an hour,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “We had very poor execution after a faceoff win on the third [goal] … so those are fixable, repairable things, and that’s what’s encouraging about a potential matchup.”
Forward Trevor Moore scored his league-leading fifth short-handed goal and set up an even-strength goal for winger Viktor Arvidsson. Jonathan Quick had 27 saves.
McDavid, who leads the league with 109 points, became the seventh player in NHL history to record multiple point streaks of at least 15 games in a season. Winger Warren Foegele scored the other goal for Edmonton, and Mike Smith made 30 saves.
The Kings welcomed back defenseman Matt Roy, who drew in for Alex Edler, and winger Brendan Lemieux, who replaced Lias Andersson. Roy had not played since March 12 in San Jose and Lemieux’s most recent outing came March 4 at Columbus. McLellan described Edler as “banged up,” and said he should be considered day-to-day.
The Kings pulled within a goal seven minutes into the third period, though they seldom generated momentum afterward, including a hapless six-on-five stretch. On their second goal, Moore and Arvidsson provided some feisty forechecking. Moore recovered the puck below the goal line and turned it back for Arvidsson. He fired through a Gabe Vilardi screen to score from the top of the left faceoff circle.
Arvidsson, who scored 94 goals in his first three full NHL seasons, hit the 20-goal mark for the first time in three campaigns in his first year with the Kings.
“Obviously I had a tough couple of years with injuries and stuff like that, so it was nice to see that one go in. You kind of take that one off your plate and keep going,” Arvidsson said.
The Kings had nearly gotten that goal back more quickly, when winger Adrian Kempe strode in on goal with a partial breakaway that Smith narrowly stopped. Defenseman Darnell Nurse, who had slashed Kempe on the play, cleared the puck out of the blue paint. His touch sent the Kings to the power play where they came up empty for the third and final time on Thursday.
Four minutes and one second into the closing frame, Edmonton earned the first two-goal edge of the night. Bouchard launched a slapshot from the right point through traffic, off Quick’s glove and into the net.
With 4:34 showing on the second-period clock, Edmonton had pulled ahead once more. Bouchard’s pass ahead for center Derek Ryan set up a feed for Foegele’s redirection and 10th goal of the campaign.
A couple of minutes after Edmonton’s second goal, controversy ensued when former San Jose Sharks winger Evander Kane nailed defenseman Sean Durzi with an illegal knee-to-knee hit. He received only a two-minute minor penalty, much to the chagrin of the fans on hand.
At the 2:29 mark of the second period, the Kings’ forecheck knotted the score as they were killing a penalty. The oh-so-familiar duo of Moore and center Phillip Danault created a hasty decision with the puck and a turnover, which Moore collected. He spun off the wall and past forward Leon Draisaitl, then stickhandled his way into a backhanded, short-handed equalizer.
Soon after Edmonton took the game’s first lead, they nearly extended it with a cross-crease pass for Kane. Kane got limited force on his shot, which bounced off Quick’s pad as he pushed powerfully from post to post.
McDavid got the scoring started. After the Kings struggled to get up ice and made a messy line change, McDavid gathered speed and skated into Bouchard’s pass. McDavid’s momentum and acceleration pushed him past two defenders before he let fly with a top-shelf, short-side snipe.
“He does it one way and Leon does it the other, that’s what makes it tough for the Kings and every other team in the league. You’ve got a guy that’s going 100 miles an hour and another guy that slows the game down,” said McLellan, who coached Edmonton from 2015 to 2018.
“I watched it for three-and-a-half years, it works. They are dynamic players, and when one’s off a little bit, the other one’s on. They’re game-breakers and they get it done. They didn’t have a ton of chances, but they don’t need very many.”

Despite the best efforts of community leaders to keep the crowd in check in Ferguson Monday night, police deployed tear gas, 31 people were arrested and two people were shot.
While there was no curfew in place, police dispersed the crowd shortly before midnight.
“These criminal acts came from a tiny minority of lawbreakers,” Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said during a press conference early Tuesday morning. “But anyone who has been at these protests understands that there is a dangerous dynamic in the night that allows this small number of violent agitators to hide in the crowd and then create chaos.”
Johnson said some of those arrested had come from as far away as New York and California. He said officers came under heavy fire at an apartment complex on Canfield Drive, but that officers had not fired a single bullet.
Then he urged protestors to come out during the day instead.
“Make your voices heard when you can be seen and when you’re not the cover for violent agitators,” Johnson said.
In his press conference and in an earlier interview on CNN, Johnson made clear his displeasure with the press. He said members of the media need to get out of the streets when asked and should not “glamorize activities of the disruptive few.”
Peaceful, but controlled
For several hours Monday night, about 200 protestors marched on the sidewalks along West Florissant Avenue where they have convened since the shooting death of Michael Brown on Aug. 9. Police officers ordered them to keep moving and stay out of the street or face arrest. The National Guard was not part of the fray, apparently being used to protect the command center.
Early in the evening, Nelly appeared and the atmosphere became almost festive. The rapper from University City talked about the importance of education, saying, "We need to make sure our kids are sitting with their kids when they're learning what they need to run the world."
Around 9:40 p.m. several objects were thrown from the crowd and police formed a line. Members of the clergy and the New Black Panther Party worked to keep agitators from sparking the police to advance.
“We chastise our own brothers and sisters tonight in love and encourage them that we don’t need any more of our mothers, our elders or them to be locked up or hospitalized,” said Rev. Dinah Tatman of Bellefontaine Neighbors.
Peace did not hold
Yet the confrontation escalated at roughly 10:30 p.m. Some in a small group of protesters at the intersection of Canfield Drive and West Florissant Avenue, threw Molotov cocktails toward police and toward the surrounding area. One or more cars also drove through the intersection throwing things. Police responded by firing tear gas to disperse the crowd.
Some protestors retreated down West Florissant Avenue, catching their breath — a few pouring water into their eyes to relieve the gas.
By and large, the police response was measured. A crowd would approach and tension would seem to mount, only to relax. In a couple of occasions, after the immediate crisis passed, police would pick out individuals within the crowd and make arrests. Exceptions were the arrest of a number of people who entered the area late in the evening in a pickup truck and attacks that went on in the Canfield Drive area after most of the media were making their way to the command center.

Philo strikes early in rout of West M
DUNCAN FALLS — The weather has adversely affected most area teams, but the Philo offense showed no effects on Thursday.
The host Electrics plated 12 runs on 11 hits in the first inning and cruised to a 15-1 five-inning victory over West Muskingum in a Muskingum Valley League crossover at the Philo Athletic Complex.
Philo senior Allison Tom said hitting was contagious early. She finished 2-for-3 with three RBIs, including a two-run triple in the first frame.
"We wanted to come out strong and keep it going once we started," Tom said. "We have a lot of faith in our defense. That takes pressure off the offense, but it was a good feeling to have a night like this."
Veteran coach Michelle Moyer wasn't sure what to expect since rain has kept the Electrics (4-2, 3-2) off the diamond since Monday's win over Tri-Valley. She credited an experienced squad that knows how to set the tone.
"I wanted to see where we were as a team. We lost a couple tough games in the first week, but we've seen our upperclassmen step up," Moyer said. "We stayed aggressive at the plate and strung together some good at-bats."
First-year coach Josh Bobo understood the challenge his Tornadoes (1-4, 1-3) faced against the Big School Division foe. Yet, he praised his team's fight despite the first-inning deficit.
"This group has proven to me they are going to get after it and won't quit. Even after that first inning, our girls didn't hang their heads," Bobo said. "Our pitcher Kadie (Bare) has had some good efforts this season. Tonight, her pitches didn't spin as well, and Philo is a veteran hitting team that didn't miss.
"This was a good learning experience. I know we will learn from this and have a good practice (on Friday)," he added. "This group has a great attitude and is resilient. We're aiming to gain some momentum over the next couple of weeks since we have a bunch of divisional games. Hopefully, the girls will start seeing their effort on the scoreboard."
Philo wasted little time getting to Bare and West Muskingum. The Electrics saw 11 of their first 12 batters reach base. Brooklyn Ferrell started the rally by drawing a walk and Amasia Barnett followed with a single. After a strikeout, Allison Tom delivered her two-run triple to center field then came around on a Caitlin Rose single.
The Electrics continued the onslaught. After a fielder's choice put runners on first and second, Olivia Winland swatted a RBI double, Megan Tom singled home a run and Ashley Pletcher hit a two-run single for a 7-0 lead.
Chloe Armstrong then entered the circle for West M, but it didn't slow the Philo bats. Barnett ripped a RBI single, Zoe Dodson belted a two-run homer and Natalie May added another RBI hit to cap the scoring.
It was more than enough support for winning pitcher Addie Shearer. She had four strikeouts and two walks and allowed one run on six hits in a complete game effort.
May added a RBI double in the third, and in the fourth, Kassydi Harris scored on an error on Anna Whitney's groundball and Allison Tom singled home a run to complete the Philo scoring.
Ferrell scored three times, Barnett, Dodson, Rose and May each had two hits, and Dodson, May and Pletcher knocked in two runs apiece for the winners.
The Electrics are off until Monday's showdown at John Glenn, but Moyer knows her team will have to be on top of their game against the Muskies.
"We have to play our game," she said. "They're a talented group, but we're going out there and expect to be competitive. We'll see what we can do."
Lily McCune drew a bases-loaded walk, bringing home Armstrong in the third for West M's only run. Zoie Settles added two singles and Lauren Johnson doubled.

Roundup: Philo baseball outlasts West; RV rolls
DUNCAN FALLS — A game with eight combined errors — four from each team — was fittingly decided by a fielding miscue on Thursday at the Philo Athletic Complex.
With West Muskingum and host Philo tied at 10 in the sixth inning, the Electrics took the lead for good when Hunter Goodwin scored from second base when Griffin Wells' long fly ball to center field was misplayed.
Reliever Owen Smith got the final three outs to secure an 11-10 win that sent Philo to 4-2 in the Muskingum Valley League's Big School Division.
The Electrics trailed 10-8 after Wes Houston sent two runs home with a one-out single in the top of the fifth inning, but they escaped more damage when Smith got the next two outs without harm.
Philo quickly responded, as Griffin Wells walked and Cade Searls singled to start the rally. Wells was forced out at second the next play, but Clay McCutcheon doubled to send both runners home and tie the game.
West failed to get a base runner in the sixth, but had the tying run on base in the seventh with one out after Silas Bailey singled through the hole at shortstop. Smith struck out Porter and inducted Houston to fly out to end the game.
Searls doubled with three singles and Smith singled twice for Philo, while McCutcheon and Jacob Howell had two RBIs. Smith struck out three and allowed two hits in 2 2/3 scoreless innings to get the win; starter Clay Peterson pitched three innings, allowing three hits and four earned runs.
Bailey had three singles and Porter a double and single for West, which had nine hits and drew 11 walks. Ethan Smith, who had six strikeouts, allowed four hits and three earned runs in 4 1/3 innings of relief.
River View 14, Morgan 4: Trace Davis struck out six in a complete game and Evan McPeak clubbed a home run to keep the Black Bears atop the MVL-Big School Division.
Morgan (2-4, 2-2 MVL-Small) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Carson Copeland reached on an error and allowed Wade Pauley to score with two outs. Pauley reached after being hit by a pitch.
River View (4-2, 4-1 MVL-Big) wasted not time in getting its offense going, as its first three runners reached in the bottom of the inning. One netted a run on Bryson Fry's RBI single; three more runs came home as the result of infield errors.
Morgan cut the deficit to 4-3 when Pauley sent home Colin Janes and Owen McCoy with a single to center field. The Raiders got no closer as River View scored three more times in the second — Davis had a two-out, two-run single — and tacked on five in the fourth when Brody Shrimplin doubled home two and McPeak blasted a three-run homer. It made it 12-4.
Cruz Mobley and Davis had doubles and Fry finished with three singles for River View in a 10-hit attack. The Black Bears also drew seven walks and stole six bases.
Davis allowed six hits, walked three and yielded three earned runs to get the win.
Pauley, who allowed four earned runs in four innings, suffered the loss. Coleman Welsh had a double as six Raiders had hits.
Sugar Grove Berne Union 17, Rosecrans 2 (5 inn.): The Bishops committed nine errors and yielded 11 runs in the third inning in a Mid-State League-Cardinal Division mercy at Gant Municipal Stadium.
Sammy Amnah, Dylan Winkler and Tylor Tipple drove in three runs as seven Rockets (2-1-1, 2-0 MSL) had RBIs. Tipple's double was the team's only extra-base hit.
Eden Lynch collected two singles for the Bishops (3-1, 2-1), who had six total. Seven players committed errors.
William Bolton and Austin Snyder combined to allow two runs with six strikeouts and one walk for Berne Union. Amnah, Winkler and Tipple had multiple hits; Hudson Gerken reached three times and scored three times.
Softball
Morgan 3, River View 0: Maylani Clemens fired a three-hitter with 14 strikeouts and accounted for all of the run production for the visiting Raiders (4-1, 3-1 MVL-Small) in an MVL crossover win in Warsaw.
Clemens yielded only three singles — two from Brie Hagans and one from Raelee McPeak had the other single.
Morgan's offense got going when Autumn Garber singled and Becca Clawson reached on an error to lead off the third inning, then scored when Clemens sent them home with a double for the game's first two runs.
Garber scored again when she singled with one out in the sixth, took third when Clawson and Harmon singled and scored when Clemens hit a sacrifice fly.
River View (0-6, 0-5 MVL-Big) had only one hit before it mounted a two-out rally in the bottom of the sixth, as Hagans singled, Jaylin Williamson reached on an error and McPeak singled. Clemens induced a groundout to end the threat.
Adison Smith allowed only one earned run with two strikeouts in a complete game. The Raiders had nine hits, drew three walks and benefited from four errors.

Gender‑Neutral Words like ‘People’ Are Still Interpreted to Mean ‘Men,’ Shows Analysis
Share
More often than not, the citadel of language regularly references the binary between male and female groupings; words and by extension our perception of the world can thus be extremely gendered. This explains the inclination to use gender-neutral words like “individual” or “people” that in theory don’t imply maleness or femaleness. But a new research suggests that even these framings are traditionally associated with men — that when one thinks of a “person,” it is the image of a man that comes to mind.
Researchers at the New York University looked at more than 630 billion words in the English language; parsing over text from almost three billion web pages, analyzing the related context when the words “person,” “people,” or “individual” were used. In the majority of cases, the usage of “person” prioritized men over women — that is, any word synonymous with “person” linked to associated words for men. Their findings were published in the journal Science Advances last week.
“This is the first to study this really general gender stereotype — the idea that men are sort of the default humans — in this quantitative computational social science way,” said Molly Lewis, a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University, who was not involved in the study.
The findings — which reflect how deeply embedded gender norms are within a language — seem intuitive but still jarring. To think the average human always defaults to a man, even when people attempt to be neutral, indicates a deep rot.
Interestingly, when the researchers also looked for gendered terms implying maleness or femaleness — like “brave” or “giggle” — male bias seemed deeply entrenched. Search requests similar to “brave” were associated with men; stereotypically-female words were all linked with women.
People “tend to think about women more in gender-stereotypical terms, and they tend to think of men just in generic terms,” said psychologist April Bailey, one of the researchers involved in the study. “They’re thinking about men just as people who can do all kinds of different things and thinking about women really specifically as women who can only do gender-stereotypical things.” Outspoken, witty, rational become masculine descriptors; cheerful, accommodating, gullible, gentle, sympathetic become the stereotypical female ones.

UN Receives Backlash For Promoting Gender Neutral Language Amid Pandemic
Arguably, the framework of gender-neutral language holds a lot of promise. To avoid word choices that imply one sex or social gender — as the absolute norm — is biased, discriminatory, and exclusionary on a social and individual level. It only makes sense to deliberately substitute “chair” in place of “chairman”; “humankind” for “mankind”; “workforce” for “manpower.”
“The impetus for gender-inclusivity in colloquial speech is still an important goal,” Devrupa Rakshit wrote for The Swaddle in 2020. “Changes in its perceptions and norms are reflected in the language people use. When language serves as our primary medium of expression, it can become a necessary tool for promoting social change, and it must reflect the attitudes our societies aspire to.”
But the research paints a grim picture — male bias still persevers despite attempts to be gender-neutral. The results of the analysis suggest a “fundamental bias in our species’ collective view of itself,” the researchers noted in the paper.
In other words, weeding out gendered bias from our own behavior is a more complex task than we realize. “This is not just what individuals think. It’s like the air that we breathe. It’s in our culture. I’ve been studying [this] for a long time now. [It’s] subtle. I catch myself doing it even though I’m a woman,” said Bailey.
We don’t know how well these biases translate into other languages, but it’s well-documented how most languages — including several Indian ones — are heavily gendered.
This also has implications for how technologies around us, like artificial intelligence tools, are conceptualized. Researchers train language translation websites and chatbots based on the text they glean from the internet; if these words and phrases are themselves defaulting to males, the biases then form an inextricable part of these systems.
“[A.I.] learns from us, and then we learn from it,” Bailey told New Scientist. “And we’re kind of in this reciprocal loop, where we’re reflecting it back and forth. It’s concerning because it suggests that if I were to snap my fingers right now and magically get rid of everyone’s own individual cognitive bias to think of a person as a man more than a woman, we would still have this bias in our society because it’s embedded in A.I. tools.”
When people are men, a culture of ignorance and exclusion dominates. Sadly, it is a culture we know all too well.

RICHLAND, Wash. -
Following the recent trend of increased cougar sightings in the area, our anchor Tracci Dial spotted a coyote.
While hiking the Badger Mountain Trail in Richland, Dial saw the coyote right along the trail.
What are you supposed to do if you spot a coyote?
Dial learned that Benton County Parks should be notified. You can also call the state wildlife hotline.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife says that most of the time, coyotes are more scared of humans than we are of them. Unless it is starving, it will likely run off.
Never feed a coyote.
Do not leave small children alone where coyotes are frequently seen.

This season has not gone the way the Americans or their fans had hoped ... but the team is very excited about a player they hope will make an impact next season.
Camerin Cardona was the top pick in this season's draft by Tri-City and the California resident will be joining the team in the fall.
"I watched my dad over time, my uncle and just really got into the sport. I was always watching it, grew up around it and wanted to give it a go. Then I fell in love with it."
Cardona says he looks up to Alex Ovechkin and Patrick Kane and tries to be a two-way forward who uses speed and skills to move the puck and shoot.
Americans GM Bob Tory said, "Camerin is a powerful skater with very good offensive instincts and a nose for the net."
Cardona also recognizes his ability to impact the community by being a person of color who plays hockey.
"It's exciting. You don't see it as much but I hope to make it bigger, a little bigger."
Cardona says the whole team has embraced him and started to show him around the town as he gets used to being away from home.
Camerin turned 16 earlier this year and will be eligible to play when the 2022-23 season starts.

The euro is already down six consecutive days against the dollar but a lot of that I would argue comes down to policy divergence as the Fed maintains a more hawkish undertone while ECB policymakers are more or less floundering.
The French election hasn't really captivated the attention of markets this time around but that doesn't mean that one should not be blind to the risks involved. The race between Macron and Le Pen is arguably less intense than what it was back in 2017 but we have seen the former's lead narrow in the past week or so and that is stirring up some nerves.
A Macron victory remains the most likely outcome but we are in territory where there is perhaps some margin for error as outlined here.
If anything else, even if Macron wins this Sunday, the margin of victory is something to watch. If we fall anywhere below 3 points, that's enough of a risk margin for markets to be nervous ahead of the second round of the election on 24 April. In turn, that could weigh further on the euro come the Monday open.

SPOKANE, Wash. — It was a dramatic rescue.
Anthony Trostel had to be lowered down from his balcony on the 9th floor after a fire broke out inside his apartment complex, home to more than 100 elderly and disabled people. Firefighters had little time to put out the flames and rescue those trapped inside the Park Tower Apartments.
"The walls are on fire, everything is on fire," Trostel said.
He woke up this afternoon to smoke and flames all around him. Trostel's only option was to stand out on his 9th floor balcony and wait for help.
"That's the only place I could go, either that or jump off the balcony," he said. "I would have been a big splat. No bouncing from that height."
Trostel makes light of what happened to him but knows he could have died. Many of his elderly and disabled neighbors were trapped as well. Firefighters faced a challenging rescue, and they didn't have much time.
"Imagine going up nine flights of stairs when you know somebody is trapped," Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said. "You're going into an environment that's already smoke-filled, you're coming across people that are having a hard time coming down the stairs, you're trying to navigate carrying 300 to 400 feet of hose on your backs."
As Trostel stood on his balcony, a tower truck raised a ladder to the 9th floor. He remembers what firefighters told him as they tried to get him in the bucket.
"'Just keep breathing, you're alright, we'll get you down'," Trostel recalled. "'Let go of your leg,' because I didn't want to let go of that balcony."
Trostel had minor burns on his hands, back and neck. The apartment was so hot, his shoes melted to the floor. He also inhaled a lot of smoke.
"So much that my inside was black, all the way down my esophagus," Trostel said.
Trostel was back on his feet a few hours later. He lost everything in the fire, but is thankful he didn't lose his life.
"Thank god for the fire department," Trostel said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Trostel believes a motor in his pneumatic bed may have burst into flames. Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer told us the apartment complex is a relatively old building and does not have a sprinkler system. He says it's concerning, given the fact that the majority of residents living there are elderly and disabled.

The dollar is continuing its good form on the week as higher yields and hawkish Fed talk is underpinning the currency.
EUR/USD has slumped to a one-month low of 1.0850 as the downside pressure continues, with the pair looking set for a seventh straight day of declines. Sellers are taking aim towards the March low @ 1.0806 and that remains the key level to watch:
Meanwhile, GBP/USD is also down 0.4% to 1.3027 as the pair looks vulnerable towards another test of the 1.3000 level. USD/JPY is also staying underpinned as the bond selloff continues with 2-year Treasury yields up 4.8 bps to 2.509%. That is seeing USD/JPY
USD/JPY
The USD/JPY is the currency pair encompassing the dollar of the United States of America (symbol $, code USD), and the Japanese yen of Japan (symbol ¥, code JPY). The pair’s rate indicates how many Japanese yen are needed in order to purchase one US dollar. For example, when the USD/JPY is trading at 100.00, it means 1 US dollar is equivalent to 100 Japanese yen. The US dollar (USD) is the world’s most traded currency, whilst the Japanese yen is the world’s third most traded currency, resulting in an extremely liquid pair, and very tight spreads, often staying within the 0 pip to 2 pip spread range on most forex brokers. Although the range of the USD/JPY isn’t traditionally particularly high, the lack of large price action often associated with other JPY pairs does make it easier to trade.This is especially true for short-term traders, although without offering a great pip potential. Even though the USD/JPY is the world’s second most traded pair, it’s not as popular as one might think with regards to retail traders.The pair carries a reputation as “boring”, although this isn’t an entirely accurate reflection. Trading the USD/JPYThe JPY is highly regarded as a safe haven currency, with investors often increasing their exposure following periods of uncertainty or market-induced fallouts.As both the US and Japan are highly developed economies, there are several key factors affecting the value of either currencies. This includes a range of economic indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP) growth, inflation, interest rates and unemployment data. Monetary policy by the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan are also large determinants in the value of each currency.

Elsewhere, AUD/USD is down 0.2% to 0.7462 while NZD/USD
NZD/USD
The NZD/USD is a commonly offered currency pair representing the New Zealand dollar or Kiwi and US dollar. The pair is popular for exposure into a commodity currency, i.e. the NZD, which helps capture risk appetite for forex traders. Like its Antipodean counterpart, the Australian Dollar, the NZD/USD is seen as a carry trade, due in part to interest rate differentials which favor the NZD. The NZD is the world’s seventh most liquid pair at the time of writing with the USD being the world’s most traded currency and the NZD being the tenth. What Affects the NZD/USD? The NZD/USD is offered at virtually every retail forex brokerage and is a common pair for traders to have experience with. The pair moves on investor sentiment and can be much more volatile than other pairs such as the EUR/USD, GBP/USD and others. Given New Zealand is the world's largest exporter of milk powder, this metric is a key factor when driving the pair. Any sensitivity to milk powder exports is captured via the NZD/USD. Additionally, tourism is a key contributor to the New Zealand economy and as such help move the currency pair. Other factors of note for the NZD/USD include export volumes to China as well as other important economic data releases from China. Central banks also play a primary role in the direction of the currency pair with both the US Federal Reserve and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand being closely monitored by investors. Monetary policy is more than capable of abruptly moving the NZD/USD, which can oscillate much more than other normal pairs.

CHERNIHIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian leaders predicted there would be more gruesome discoveries in the days ahead after retreating Russian forces left behind crushed buildings, streets strewn with destroyed cars and mounting civilian casualties that drew condemnation from across the globe.
Kremlin forces devastated the northern city of Chernihiv as part of their attempt to sweep south toward the capital before retreating. In the aftermath, dozens of people lined up to receive bread, diapers and medicine from vans parked outside a shattered school now serving as an aid-distribution point.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned Thursday that despite a recent Russian pullback, the country remains vulnerable, and he pleaded for weapons from NATO and other sympathetic countries to help face down an expected offensive in the east. Nations from the alliance agreed to increase their supply of arms, spurred on by reports that Russian forces committed atrocities in areas surrounding the capital.
The mayor of Bucha, near Kyiv, said investigators have found at least three sites of mass shootings of civilians during the Russian occupation. Most victims died from gunshots, not from shelling, he said, and some corpses with their hands tied were “dumped like firewood” into recently discovered mass graves, including one at a children’s camp.
Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk said the count of dead civilians stood at 320 as of Wednesday, but he expected the number to rise as more bodies are found in his city, which once had a population of 50,000. Only 3,700 now remain, he said.
In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that the horrors of Bucha could be only the beginning. In the northern city of Borodianka, just 30 kilometers northwest of Bucha, Zelenskyy warned of even more casualties, saying “there it is much more horrible.”
Ukrainian officials said earlier this week that the bodies of 410 civilians were found in towns around the capital city. Volunteers have spent days collecting the corpses, and more were picked up Thursday in Bucha.
In the seaport city of Mariupol, Ukranian authorities expected to find much the same. “The same cruelty. The same terrible crimes,” Zelenskyy said.
Ukrainian and several Western leaders have blamed the massacres on Moscow’s troops, and the weekly Der Spiegel reported that Germany’s foreign intelligence agency had intercepted radio messages between Russian soldiers discussing the killings of civilians. Russia has falsely claimed that the scenes in Bucha were staged.
In the 6-week-old war, Russian forces failed to take Ukraine’s capital quickly, denying what Western countries said was Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s initial aim of ousting the Ukrainian government. In the wake of that setback and heavy losses, Russia shifted its focus to the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking, industrial region in eastern Ukraine where Moscow-backed rebels have been fighting Ukrainian forces for eight years.
On Thursday, a day after Russian forces began shelling their village in the southern Mykolaiv region, Sergei Dubovienko, 52, drove north in his small blue Lada with his wife and mother-in-law to Bashtanka, where they found temporary shelter in a church.
“They started destroying the houses and everything” in Pavlo-Marianovka, he said. “Then the tanks appeared from the forest. We thought that in the morning there would be shelling again, so I decided to leave.”
Hundreds of people have been fleeing villages in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions that are either under attack or occupied by Russian forces.
Tatiana Vizavik, 50, fled Chernobaievka in the Kherson region with her son, daughter-in-law and six grandchildren.
When the Russian attack began, they moved to the basement of an apartment building and spent five nights there. “We had nothing to eat. We had no drinking water,” Vizavik said. “We were frightened to go out. Then some volunteers starting helping us.”
She said they don’t know whether their house survived the shelling because they were too frightened to check before leaving town. They hope to reach safety in the Czech Republic.
Marina Morozova and her husband fled from Kherson, the first major city to fall to the Russians.
“They are waiting for a big battle. We saw shells that did not explode. It was horrifying,” she said.
Morozova, 69, said the only news people get is from Russian television and radio. She said the Russians handed out humanitarian aid so they could film the distribution.
Anxious to keep moving away from areas that Russian troops have reached, the couple and others boarded a van that would take them west. Some will try to leave the country, while others will remain in quieter parts of Ukraine.
The United Nations estimates the war has displaced at least 6.5 million people within the country.
The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, said that more than 4 million have left Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion on Feb. 24 and sparked Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II. Half of the refugees are children, according to UNHCR and the U.N. children’s agency, UNICEF.
The International Organization for Migration, which tracks not just refugees but all people on the move from their homes, estimated that more than 12 million people are stranded in areas of Ukraine under attack.
The United Nations’ humanitarian chief told The Associated Press on Thursday that he’s “not optimistic” about securing a cease-fire after meeting with officials in Kyiv and in Moscow this week, underlining the lack of trust the two sides have for one another. He spoke hours after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Ukraine of backtracking on proposals it had made over Crimea and Ukraine’s military status.
It’s not clear how long it will take withdrawing Russian forces to redeploy, and Ukrainian officials have urged people in the country’s east to leave before the fighting intensifies there.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Ukrainian and Russian officials agreed to establish civilian evacuation routes Thursday from several areas in the Donbas.
In addition to spurring NATO countries to send more arms, the revelations about possible war crimes led Western nations to step up sanctions, and the Group of Seven major world powers warned that they will continue strengthening the measures until Russian troops leave Ukraine.
The U.S. Congress voted Thursday to suspend normal trade relations with Russia and ban the importation of its oil, while the European Union approved punishing new steps, including an embargo on coal imports. The U.N. General Assembly, meanwhile, voted to suspend Russia from the world organization’s leading human rights body.
U.S. President Joe Biden said the U.N. vote demonstrated how “Putin’s war has made Russia an international pariah.” He called the images coming from Bucha “horrifying.”
“The signs of people being raped, tortured, executed — in some cases having their bodies desecrated — are an outrage to our common humanity,” Biden said.

HONOLULU (KITV4) -- It look protests in the community and the entire congressional delegation putting pressure, but finally the tide of public opinion forced the Department of Defense to announce its decision to shut down Red Hill.
For many, it was a victory, but the lawyer representing the Sierra Club says they can't relax just yet.
"We still have to make sure our water supply is safe," says David Henkin with Earthjustice.
Lately that confidence has been shaken with another recent leak at the facility.
Just days ago, commanding officer of the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center was fired due to a loss of confidence. It might seem like a step in the right direction, but the Sierra Club says Captain Albert Hornyak also tried to raise alarms well before the November leak.
"We do know that he was raising alarms about pressure changes in the pipes connected to this facility back in September which led the facility being shut down for more than a week which is an unusual thing to do," says Wayne Chung Tanaka with the Sierra Club.
They say despite the Navy's promises to defuel and shut down, they're still fighting against the state order and haven't given a clear timeframe.
"As long as that ticking time bomb of hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel are poised over our aquifer, we're at further risk of contamination of the aquifer," Henkin says.
The next step in the legal process will on April 25th - that's when the Navy will have to file its brief challenging the state order in environmental court.

HONOLULU (KITV4) - Changing diapers, bathing, feeding and helping the elderly with activities of daily living are all part of the job for certified nursing assistants who these days often earn less than a barista.
"It's not necessarily glamorous work," said Hilton Raethel, president and CEO of the Healthcare Association of Hawaii. "It is demanding work and there are many other jobs that pay as much or more in the workforce either in hotels or retail that may be much more appealing to young people."
That's why nursing homes are struggling to recruit and retain workers to provide basic care for patients.
"People are just rethinking what life is and what's important to them. And so we are seeing turnover pick up," said Suzie Schulberg, president and CEO of the Arcadia Family of Companies.
President Joe Biden's proposing to establish minimum staffing requirements to improve care in nursing homes. But health leaders fear that could lead to unintended consequences.
"Some of our operators may have to stop accepting new residents or they may have to shut down wings if they don't have sufficient staff because they they do not want to get a penalty," Raethel said.
The majority of workers in the state's long-term care facilities are CNAs -- an entry-level job. CNAs make anywhere from $15 to $20 an hour.
"For folks who are interested in serving kupuna it's not about the money," Shulberg said. "It's really about heart."
Nursing homes are trying to find ways to make the job easier -- including using new technology to help with fall prevention to lessen the burden on workers.
Some facilities are also offering higher wages, internships and participating in academies to get teens and young adults interested in the health-care field.

HAWAII COUNTY (KITV4) - The US Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the highest court with a final vote of 53-47.
She is the first black woman to sit on the US Supreme Court and the sixth woman in history to do so.
President Biden said in a tweet after the vote “We have taken another step toward making our highest court reflect the diversity of America."
"For all of us who identify with different minority groups, this draws inspiration to see someone with a background similar to ours. This is a historic day for all of us here,” said Doug Chin, a practicing attorney.
A few attorneys in Hawaii say Justice Brown Jackson's significant criminal law background as a public defender will bring awareness on the other side of the criminal justice system.
“I am excited to hear her voice on affirmative action cases, voting, gay rights and so on. She represents modern America and our modern families,” said Stacy Ma, a litigation partner at Goodsill Quinn & Stifel.
People in the legal profession say they not only feel inspired but now have an elevated expectation for what is possible.
“This doesn’t disempower people who might be considering the judiciary or the public service, instead it motivates them. Students and alumni will use their experience and talents in the same way Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson showed us,” said Camille Nelson Dean of Williams S. Richardson School of Law at Uh Manoa.
Judge Jackson will replace Justice Stephen Breyer starting this summer. She will begin hearing cases in the fall term in October.

A hidden piece of heaven just north of the escarpment near Burmaster Park is getting a new owner: the Town of Lewiston.
Camp Stonehaven had an address listed in Pekin, even if the hamlet was within the town of Lewiston. The camp is owned by the Greater Niagara Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America, which is under contract to sell it to the town for $675,000 as part of the council’s effort to settle its portion of the national scout bankruptcy case.
It’s a hidden, tranquil place off Albright Road with three cabins and multiple leantos as well as picnic shelters.
I remember spending time there with both my sons as part of Boy Scouts, for general campouts, cold weather training and an Order of the Arrow (OA) ordeal. OA is a sort of honor society for scouting pulling together youth from different troops and focusing on rituals, service and good deeds. The ordeal is a two-day induction.
One OA ordeal was particularly memorable. A young man, the mini-me of an entrepreneur who would become famous and then infamous as a politician, was part of a crew filling holes in the gravel road. That young man did nothing, ever, without the approval of the greatest helicopter parent ever. On this day, dad was not around. Someone in the crew of about six or so boys kicked up a field mouse from the gravel pile. It got wounded. I didn’t see what happened. All but one boy lost interest — the politician’s kid. Character is what is revealed when you think no one is watching. As soon as the other boys turned their backs, he went over, scooped up the wounded rodent with a pile of leaves, and carried him to a brushy spot to at least give him a chance. I reached the conclusion that boy was really OK no matter how insufferable dear old dad was or what scandal was in their future.
Another experience was cold weather training, which teaches life skills about which most people never think. For example, if the temperature goes below 55 Fahrenheit, you are cold weather camping. Understand, you dehydrate faster in the cold than in the heat. Your mother was right, wear a hat because most heat escapes from your head. And finally, cotton kills.
Say what?
Yeah, really. Be on a cold, snowy campout. Look at that 11-year-old, shivering, having a miserable time. Take him inside the cabin. Check him out. Ten out of 10 times, you'll find cotton gym socks in his boots. You are going to give him wool socks, which you will likely never see again, because you brought three pairs and expected this.
During cold weather training, we reviewed 10 essentials that everyone should have for hiking. Here’s my version (others might differ): 1) Water. 2) Water purification tablets. 2) A knife or multi tool. 3) Matches, a lighter and paraffin fire starters. 4) Raingear. 5) A warm hat. 6) Spare socks. 7) Trail food. 8) A small first aid kit. 9) A map and compass. 10) A headlamp or flashlight. 11) If it’s going to be a longer hike, an ultralight tarp and some line to make shelter.
Today, Camp Stonehaven sits mostly vacant, the gate padlocked. Hawks soar above. Coltsfoot blooms dandelion-like, the first flower of spring. Pileated woodpeckers call from the trees. It is, in a word, tranquil.
Lewiston Supervisor Steve Broderick said he was out of town but offered a brief statement about the town's acquisition of the camp.
“The intention of the town is to make it open to the public in the form of a nature preserve, similar to the Town of Lockport’s two preserves. There would be walking paths, conservation signs and possibly a fishing area.
“There is not a plan at this time to continue with overnight camping. The town does not close on the property until mid July in order to allow us to obtain grants to help with the purchase, so any long term planning will probably not occur until after.
“The town board saw this as an opportunity to obtain a beautiful piece of property, that’s really never been open to the public, and make it a place for people to enjoy in perpetuity.”
I hope they find some way to leave a couple of shelters standing as well as a couple of the buildings. If liability is an issue, they can be securely locked up and alarmed. There is a nature center in Clarence that is set up similarly and is seldom used. Hopefully Lewiston can find a better plan so new generations of youths can take full advantage.

As warmer weather continues to show itself, so does interest in the latest fad diets. How to lose weight fast and get in shape quick is on the minds of many. Unfortunately, our world is filled with a perpetual stream of misleading headlines and ambiguous sound bites that poses difficulties for the layperson to discover where the truth lies. Nutrition is a topic that is sensitive to all of us and the food we eat stems from multiple elements including our culture, environment, preferences and social factors. The field of nutrition is not immune from the information overload that we experience and if anything it may be one of the worst offenders for half-truths and the spread of misinformation.
Let us dive deeper into some commonly spread nutrition myths.
MYTH: Carbs are the enemy
Carbohydrates are the main fuel source used for energy and are found in a wide range of foods including grains, fruits, beans and legumes. Commonly known as "carbs," these molecules have been villainized in the media going as far back as the 1970s. So what is the deal with these low-carb diets? Are they effective? The short answer is: probably not.
Following a low-carb diet may work well in the short term; when you limit carbohydrates you are generally reducing calories which then will lead to weight loss. Furthermore, generally when people follow a low-carb diet they also cut out ultra-processed foods (such as chips, candy, desserts) which also are a contributor to excess weight in westernized society. The downfall for many is this diet is not sustainable in the long-term due to its restrictive nature.
People who follow low-carb diets will often gain all of their weight back and then some once the diet no longer works for them. Another issue with this diet is limiting certain nutrients that are found in carbs. Fiber, a type of carbohydrate that humans cannot digest, is vital for our bowel health and overall wellbeing, and limiting carbohydrate rich foods also limits our fiber intake.
Restricting an entire macronutrient is not necessary for a healthy diet and carbs are not the enemy. Most of us will thrive on a whole foods diet that includes a wide variety of healthy carbs. Likewise, most of us would also benefit from decreasing our ultra-processed food intake.
MYTH: Intermittent fasting is the gold standard of dieting
This diet and lifestyle fad has been all the rage in the media and perpetuated by social media. Intermittent fasting is simply reducing the time frame in which you consume calories
Generally speaking, followers of this diet restrict eating within an eight- to 12-hour window and some may go as radical as a four- to six-hour window. It is important to note that most of us already fast throughout the night when we are sleeping; it is simply just extending this fast (this is why breakfast is so named: "break" the "fast") and fasting is an integral part of our normal biology.
Proponents of this diet report decreased appetite, weight loss and improved energy levels are among the benefits. Unfortunately, preliminary studies have been inconclusive and more research needs to be done to evaluate benefits and disadvantages to this diet.
What we do know is the most important aspects of a healthy lifestyle are how much we eat, the quality of the food we eat, and how much we move our bodies.
MYTH: Supplements can correct a bad diet
Many people end up turning to supplements to improve or maintain their health. "Supplement" is an umbrella term that can include many things such as vitamins, minerals, botanicals, herbs, et cetera. Unlike pharmacology that has strict standards for development, regulation and distribution of the drugs they produce, supplement companies are not held to high standards regarding their products safety or efficacy. Consumers cannot be sure the supplements they are taking are labeled correctly, have the efficacy, or are not adulterated with things like heavy metals. Supplements can also have negative outcomes such as interacting with a prescribed medication, or side effects of contaminants that are not on the label.
By following a healthy diet with an emphasis on whole foods most people can obtain all of the nutrients they need through food alone. If a medical provider recommends a supplement, be sure to find one that is labeled "third party tested" to verify quality and safety.
• • •
Every diet claims to help you “lose weight fast” and “keep the weight off,” but nutrition is evolving as science and medicine continue to advance. We should all work on using critical thinking skills when consuming media instead of jumping to conclusions and making radical changes to our diet and lifestyle. Our health and wellbeing depends on it.
The most effective diet and lifestyle changes are the ones that are sustainable and individualized. Questions to ask yourself are:
— What are your overall health goals?
— Do you want to look a certain way, feel a certain way, improve other factors of health, or something else entirely?
— What are the small, sustainable ways to reach your health goals?
— What has been a hurdle in the past that you can avoid this time?
— What is the first step?
If you need help answering these questions and sifting through the health and wellness noise, talk with your trusted healthcare professional. Registered dietitians in particular are experts in working one-on-one with clients to provide individualized and comprehensive nutrition education, counseling and support.

Amazing Love
I'm forgiven, because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again.
Amazing love how can it be
That you my King should die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
And its my joy to honor you,
In all I do, to honor you…
— By Billy James Foote, 2001, based on the Charles Wesley hymn “And Can It Be," 1738.

Holy Week begins this weekend with Palm Sunday. Churches across the nation and around the world will commemorate the “triumphal entry” of Christ into the city of Jerusalem with hymns of worship and shouts of glorious praise. Palm branches will be distributed and waved in these celebrations. Congregations, worship bands and choirs will sing “Hosanna” and Holy Week will begin.
It’s hard to believe that the 40 days of Lent are passing so quickly. Holy Week points us to Easter Sunday, the holiday that celebrates the Resurrection of the Lord.
Since early childhood, I have loved this wonderful season. My heart is often overwhelmed with just how amazing God’s love is, and just how amazing "grace" is.
Grace has been defined as God’s unearned, unmerited, loving favor. When I reflect on the fact that we don’t have to be perfect to be loved by God, I am truly amazed. When I sing the hymns of my youth and compare them to the modern songs of worship and praise, I’m reminded of the psalm that says “One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” (Psalm 145:4)
Today I’ve listed excerpts of some favorite modern worship songs of the 21st century. Please notice that each of them borrowed lyrics and melodies from 18th century hymn writers.

The Wonderful Cross
When I survey the wondrous Cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain, I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did ever such love and sorrow meet?
Or thorns compose, so rich a crown
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
All who gather here by grace, draw near and bless Your name.
— By Chris Tomlin, J.D. Walt and Jesse Reeves, based on the 1707 hymn by Isaac Watts.

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see…
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me…
Unending love, amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace.
— By Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio, based on the 1772 hymn by John Newton.

As we welcome Holy Week, I pray that we will share the blessings of God’s amazing love, and grace, as demonstrated by the cross of Christ, with everyone around us. Have a blessed, happy Easter.

Another sweeping criminal justice initiative found its way into the New York State 2022-2023 budget legislation, where it absolutely does not belong.
CNHI’s New York Statehouse reporter Joe Mahoney earlier this week teased out the details of “Clean Slate,” a measure designed to expunge many criminal records. Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Democratic-controlled Legislature both want a three-year waiting period for misdemeanor convictions to be sealed and a seven-year waiting period for the expunging of felony records. Their disagreement concerns the time at which the clock should start running: upon the convict’s release from prison or jail or, as Hochul prefers, upon completion of parole or probation. The disagreement is one more thing holding up approval of a spending plan that keeps the state running.
Other points of dispute are Hochul’s proposed tweaks to the state’s new cashless bail system and Raise the Age law directing most youths younger than 18 to family court when they’re accused of a crime.
Naturally, almost nobody’s happy with these proposals. So-called progressives decry them as discriminatory while so-called conservatives assert they’ll further feed rising crime rates.
Regarding tweaks to the cashless bail system — Hochul’s 10-point plan would among other things restore authority to judges to order cash bail for more individuals when they’re arraigned — critics are quick to play the all-or-nothing game. Bronx-based state Sen. Gustavo Rivera, the influential chair of the senate health committee, declared he’d vote against any budget legislation that includes it. Meanwhile, supporters of one of Hochul’s rivals for the Democratic nomination for governor, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi of Long Island, chanted “No bail fix, no budget” at a late March Suozzi campaign stop in Manhattan. There’s similar push-and-pull around the Clean Slate measure and Raise the Age tweaks.
Hochul did no favors for herself or the criminal justice system by tossing these measures into the black hole known as the state budget. Tying major policy initiatives to the annual spending plan is a tried-and-true strategy for the governor to score wins by cheating, essentially. Equally unsavory is the spectacle of budget “negotiation” in which most of the legislature, and all of their constituents, have no say.
“This is Albany business as usual; politicians pass broken, failed, policies with no transparency and everyday New Yorkers are left to deal with the disastrous effects,” Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt, R-North Tonawanda, observed.
In the case of the criminal justice reforms, it may well be a smart move on Hochul’s part tying them to the budget. She’s siding with moderates in seeking to restore some judicial discretion in matters of bail and criminal prosecution of youths, and tying those changes to the budget is probably the only way to get them past a downstate Democrat-dominated lawmaking body.
Then again, the cashless bail system was a product of the 2019-2020 state budget, approved more or less in the dark, without the proper vetting and healthy debate that was (and still is) so needed. Who’s to say, if that legislation had been taken up on its own, that it would have passed, or survived a veto?
Lawmaking through the state budget process is lousy governance. Whichever side “wins” the criminal justice reform battle will have nothing to crow about.

(Updated with new interviews)
Three hundred people answered Gov. Jay Nixon's call to apply for the Ferguson Commission. Of those applicants and others, the governor selected 16 and announced their names on Tuesday. The group includes teachers, attorneys, community organizers, law enforcement officials and protesters from across the region. It has nine blacks and seven whites; six women and 10 men.
The governor has asked the commission to make recommendations on a number of issues, including police and community interaction and relations; racial and ethnic relations; disparities in education, economic opportunity, and housing; among other things. The deadline for the final report is Sept. 15, 2015.
Co-chairman Rich McClure said the commission’s meetings will all be open to the public and will begin taking place soon. He told St. Louis Public Radio he expects to release recommendations as they are developed, including items for the Missouri Legislature to address, along with other governmental bodies and community organizations.
Here are brief introductions to the members of the commission. We are publishing their responses as we receive them. The answers have been edited for length and clarity.
Kevin Ahlbrand
Ahlbrand is president of the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police.
What is your No. 1 priority?
For myself, it would be increasing the relation between law enforcement and the community. To go along with that would be some type of municipal court reform and possibly some consolidation of police services in St. Louis County.
If we take care of the latter two, naturally, it will go toward making the goal of the better relationship between law enforcement and the community. So I think those are two of the most important things that will bring to that conclusion, that the relationships will be much better.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
It's imperative that people leave their preconceived notions at the door, that everybody is completely open-minded and objective about what really needs to be done to make those accomplishments.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
That’s an easy one. I’ve been a police officer for 31 years. I’ve worked in all facets of the community economically,from wealthy areas to very distressed areas, and I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on what needs to be done on both sides to increase our level of trust,
Rasheen Aldridge
Aldridge is a community organizer and activist.
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
I do want to be very transparent with my young people and my mentors because at the end of the day, I don’t want to make it seem like I’m aligning with the governor. I respect (Jay Nixon)as a man and as a person, but a lot of his decisions in Ferguson were 110 percent wrong.
My goal right now is to talk to as many young folks as I can because it kind of sucks that I’m the only young person on the commission. As we’ve been seeing in Ferguson, in Shaw and on Riverview, a majority of the protesters are young people.
There are some awesome individuals that I’ve met, like the CEO of Big Brothers, Big Sisters, but it really would have been great to have more youth on this panel so it would be not just me speaking all for the youth. I’m the youth, but I’m not all of the youth. We’re all very different, we come from different backgrounds.
I want to figure out what is the problem. Why do we feel like our lives don’t matter? Why do we feel like we’d rather go out and die for the cause because we don’t feel like we’re not going to ever see justice? Or, why are we a target when we just walk outside our houses and walk down the streets and get pulled over
How can we come up with ideas and solutions to really change the system? Until the system is changed, that’s the only way we’re going to see real justice. It doesn’t work, it’s old, it’s out of date, it’s not an equal system to all folks.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
The biggest obstacle will probably be to make sure that I represent the youth to the best of my ability. Hopefully, I’ll be able to talk to as many folks on the ground who have been through different situations – like the justice system, police brutality, working a low-wage job – and find out what is holding them back from being treated just like everyone else, and to come up with change that will affect all of us.
I really want some systematic change where my brothers and sisters and peers feel like they’re just really as important as everyone else. And that’s people of color – not just black, but Latino, Hispanic, Asian Indian, Chinese. People of all colors should feel like they’re just as important as everyone else, and they can live in America and live the American dream like everyone else, if there’s really an American dream anymore.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
Being very involved in social justice work, being an activist and fighting for social justice even before Ferguson, and organizing and learning how to organize before Ferguson -- that’s what I bring to the commission. Also, being out there with other young protesters who want to see something that’s new.
I live in a world where I know I’m not as privileged as another, and I live in a community that doesn’t have the same resources. I don’t know completely, but I have an understanding of what we need to make those communities just as equal as other communities, what we need to make people feel like they’re just as important or won’t be targets of the police because they have dreads or because they sag, or because they have a tattoo.
They get labeled thugs, but if you’re Caucasian and you have tattoos and a funky hair style and sag but got tight pants, you’re called a punk rock kid, and one of those is very different. One is not as debasing as the other.
This commission is not going to be able to change the system come September when we have to write a report and give it to the governor and the public to see. But I think, over time, this is a step, and this isn’t the last step. There needs to be more steps on getting people engaged to figure out what do we want. We have these elected officials that we vote for, but they’ve never really asked us what we want. What do we need? If they aren’t having the conversation with the youth, how will they know what the youth really want?
Traci Blackmon
Blackmon is a pastor at Christ the King United Church of Christ in Florissant.
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
My No. 1 priority is to have us implement some changes that are visible, tangible and beneficial to all of the residents of Ferguson. And the No. 1 reason that’s my priority is because it’s important that very early we begin to rebuild hope. That only happens by people being able to see some visible, tangible evidence of change.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
The diversity around the table. I mean, you have 16 people from various walks of life. And to come to consensus, even when we are all there for the same cause, is going to be difficult.We can agree that change needs to happen, that justice needs to be in play, but how we define that, how we see it, is very much influenced by how we see the world.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
I would approach this work from the experience that I hold most dear to me and that is pastoring. When you serve as a pastor, you serve as spiritual guide for people who come from different walks of life, who have different experiences. And so my experience with that, my successful experiences with that, is with taking the time to do the listening up front -- taking the time not to rush to quick healing, not to rush to quick answers, not to rush to quick solutions, but taking the time to make sure every voice is heard. To make sure everyone has their emotional stock put on the table -- not just the 16 of us but also in the community. We have to take the time to listen. I find that when I do that, when I'm working with people, inevitably people who want change and want good, there will begin to emerge a common thread that runs through their comments. Good listening allows you to pick up on the common thread and then use that common thread to hold the group. So in times of distress, in times of challenge and time of disagreement, you have that thread that you can hold up and say this is who we are at our core. This is what we believe at our core. When you can gather and collaborate around that, you're able to work and collaborate in a way that you couldn't do otherwise.
Rich McClure, co-chair
McClure chairs the St. Louis Regional Board of Teach for America. He is a member and former president of Civic Progress; former president of UniGroup Inc.; and chief of staff for former Gov. John Ashcroft.
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
My No. 1 priority is that we take and consider actions and then recommend very clear implementation steps that will build a stronger, fairer St. Louis. We don’t have to see eye to eye to be able to walk arm in arm. We believe we can find common ground among widely diverse viewpoints where we need to move forward. Broadly, any action that builds a stronger and fairer region will be ones that I’ll be seeking to support.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
The region will need to embrace positive action and to see steps that can be taken that will be built on respectful conversations. I think we can have those. I think this circumstance has shown all of us how we need to listen more carefully and to consider the views of different groups and different individuals from different perspectives, from different parts of the region. So if we listen carefully and are thoughtful about what people are really saying, and then look at the actions that will respond to that, we’ll have an opportunity to be really successful here.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
I’ve had a chance to be in classrooms and see teachers who so firmly and deeply believe that every child can learn and that every child can succeed, and that’s been so inspirational to me. I’ve watched Teach For America Corps members come to St. Louis or change careers here and move to the classroom, and it’s been really astounding to watch them work and see students in city schools and some of our schools in north county achieve astounding levels of academic achievement because they had teachers, both Teach For America Corps members and teachers on the regular faculty, who believe deeply that every child can learn.
Grayling Tobias
Tobias is superintendent of the Hazelwood School District.
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
I'm hoping that we will be able to make some recommendations to help move the area forward. We've invested a lot of time in studying the problems in the judicial system, the health-care system, the educational system, and economics. So what we hope to do is to make some recommendations to the governor to address some of those deep-seated issues that not only our area has been struggling with but our entire nation has been struggling with.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
The important thing is for us to bind as a team, No. 1. Secondly, it's important for us to listen to each other's perspectives. We have a diverse group of people. It's a mix of lawyers and police official, educators. There's a student activist, a health professional, CEOs — I think it's important for us to use this diversity of life experience and points of view as a strength. It's important for us to be tolerant of each other's views, and I think it's important for us to honor all of our voices.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
I was born and raised in St. Louis. I grew up in the north city area, around Grand and North Market. I went to elementary school in the St. Louis Public Schools. I lived most of my early childhood and high school years and college years in north county. I went to McCluer High School, which is part of the Ferguson-Florissant School District. I went to the University of Missouri-St. Louis for college, and I got my doctorate from Saint Louis University. Educationally, I've worked in private schools, St. Louis Country Day, public schools, Parkway, Riverview and now Hazelwood, both large districts, small districts, urban and suburban. So for the last 15 years, I've been an educator in north county. I've also been a member of North County Incorporated, the greater North County chamber and TEAM, which stands for The Emergency Assistance Ministry. So I would bring all of those experiences to the table.
T.R. Carr
Carr is a professor of public administration and policy analysis at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville and a former mayor of Hazelwood.
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
I really hope that the commission is able to identify ways for the St. Louis region to move forward. I believe that the incidents have identified a number of challenges for our region. My goal is to work with other commission members and to work with the citizens of this region to deal with issues such as education, employment and general confidence in government. But I think most of all, what I'd like to see the commission do is see the region move forward.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
One challenge is being able to listen to the diverse voices within our community and within our region. We have individuals with a variety of different concerns. The challenge for us is to be able to listen, to listen well, to listen effectively, and then to be able to translate what we hear into acceptable and meaningful public policy options that we can recommend and then we can see implemented.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
Part of my experience is being mayor of Hazelwood and working with a very diverse community. At the same time, I've worked with North County Inc., an organization that represents much of north county. I've worked with the Northwest Chamber of Commerce. I have experience working with the business community, which is really important in terms of jobs and economic development. North County Inc. is an organization that reaches out to various governmental units within our region. I've worked with East-West Gateway Council of Governments, being able to deal with regionwide issues, and with the RCGA.
Rose Windmiller
Windmiller is assistant vice chancellor for government and community relations at Washington University
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
Since the commission is really just beginning its work, I don't have a set of priorities. I'm not coming into this with an idea that there are things that we absolutely have to do. I think the commission needs to meet and needs to gather input from neighbors and residents of the area who have an interest in the commission's work, and develop a set of action items to move the region forward. Hopefully, that set of action items and priorities will evolve from this process of community input.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
I think there are a set of challenges in any commission's mission. I think change is very difficult, although since we haven't really identified priorities yet, I can't speak to specific obstacles we might encounter in achieving future goals. I do know, and what I feel really strongly about, is that once these priorities are developed by the commission, as a community, we're going to need to implement a plan of action, and develop a set of accountability measures and determine how it is we're going to measure success related to the goals of the commission.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
I grew up in North County, and I really still spend a lot of time there. My father lives in the house that my family and I grew up in. North County was a really great place to live. It was very rich in cultural history and had nice public parks and strong schools and really strong communities. I have to be honest. I'm not one to hearken back to olden days, but I really do think that in this case, the past is something that can really teach us about the future and about where we want to go as a region. I will be completely honest. I want the children of the young people who currently live in our region to have access to the same things that I did when I was growing up -- really good schools, nice parks, solid housing, good homes. I think it's time that we all commit to this as a region. Most importantly, I think we need to commit to that to each other so we can re-create a place where we all would like to live.
Gabriel Gore
Gore is a lawyer specializing in civil litigation.
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
I don’t think I’ve really decided what my number one priority is. I think we’re going to do some investigation and some looking into the events that occurred in Ferguson. So I think that’s going to inform what’s going to be the number one priority to me.
I think there’s clear issues of a sense of distrust between the community and law enforcement. I think with my background in law enforcement and my background as a lawyer, that that’s a natural area to focus on, and to think about ways we can improve the trust between the community and law enforcement.
I think the other area that’ll be natural for me to focus on, because I’ve always had a passion for it, is education. I’ve been involved with KIPP charter school, I’ve been involved with mentoring urban youth throughout my career and my life, and it’s something that I’ve always had a passion for, and something that I believe is very important.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
I think the biggest obstacle is (that) these are not easy issues. I think anybody who is thoughtful about it knows that there have been issues dividing our community, and that there’s certain citizens in our community who don’t have a trust of law enforcement, and then there’s children in our community who aren’t having the opportunity to get a quality education.
We’re not doing something brand new. I think we’re trying to bring a particular focus to it, and these issues haven’t gotten any easier, but we hope that the particular focus we bring to it, and the manner in which we approach it, will move the ball forward.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you've had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
I really think that each of the commissioners brings their whole life experience to the role, and I’ve had different experiences throughout my life that I think are relevant and will be helpful.
I grew up in inner-city Detroit. I went to a failing public school while I was in Detroit. I moved to the St. Louis area when I was 14, and I had the good fortune that we moved to West County, and suddenly I was going from a failing school to attending Parkway South, which was a great high school in a school district that has a great reputation. So that experience, seeing what a difference that made in my life, in realizing how stark the difference is for kids who grow up in certain neighborhoods as opposed to kids who are able to attend school and grow up in more affluent neighborhoods.
I bring my experience as a federal prosecutor, and what I witnessed there in terms of the squandered potential of individuals who ended up coming before me and being convicted of crimes. I bring years of experience in private practice, and I bring my years of work in public schools in various capacities, whether it be on the board, or as a mentor. I’ve also taught in public schools through a program called Street Law. So I bring all of that as my background, and I think that as a commission as a whole, I think that we just have a group of people who have a set of experience that really brings a lot of perspectives to the work that we have to do.”
Becky James-Hatter
James-Hatter is president and CEO at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri.
What is your No. 1 priority for the commission to achieve?
There are a number of very important issues for us to address and many, if not all, are intertwined. My number one priority is to ensure that we are equipped with the facts and have the courage, discipline, and determination to find win-win, actionable solutions.
What is the biggest obstacle to achieving that goal?
We are a new team with a long list of historic issues that must be addressed. We will need to build a level of trust, in a short period of time, that enables us to fully appreciate candor and seek compromise.
Can you tell us about a personal experience you might have had that influences how you will approach the work of the commission?
I have served as president/CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri for 20 years. Our mission is to build trusting and enduring relationships that support and encourage young people. I have the great honor to work with volunteers from all walks of life who care deeply about this community, and I have a front row seat to the hardships and concerns of families and young people who are in need. My approach to this work will be informed by these perspectives and my goal will always be to think, act and decide with a fair mind.

FULLERTON – Orange County has several high school baseball teams that are viable candidates for the championship in CIF Southern Section Division 1.
Cypress strengthened its credentials Thursday with a 3-1 win over Bishop Amat in the National Classic championship game at Amerige Park.
The Centurions (17-3-2) won the prestigious tournament for the first time. They are ranked No. 8 in the CIF-SS Division 1 top 10. Other O.C. teams in the Division 1 rankings are No. 1 Orange Lutheran, No. 4 Santa Margarita, No. 5 Villa Park, No. 6 Huntington Beach, No. 7 Servite, No. 9 JSerra and No. 10 Trabuco Hills.
Cypress beat Santa Margarita 7-2 in the National Classic semifinals Wednesday. The Centurions also defeated Alemany and South Hills in the tournament.
Centurions sophomore first baseman Nick Montgomery hit a two-run home run and drove in all three runs for his team Thursday. Montgomery, who committed to Arizona State, was named tournament MVP.
Bishop Amat (13-6) reached the National Classic final with tournament wins over Palos Verdes, St. John Bosco and El Dorado. Lancers senior left-hander Lorenzo Gomez was named top pitcher of the tournament.
C H A M P I O N S!
Another thriller in Fullerton as your Centurions beat Bishop Amat 3-1 to capture the National Classic title.

Cypress coach John Weber has entered his team in the National Classic before, but this was the Centurions’ first championship of the tournament that started in 1990.
“It’s an unbelievable tournament with great prestige and great history,” Weber said. “We’ve been in it a ton of times and we’ve never won, so this is really cool. It’s good for us, it’s good for the kids.”
And it just might continue the momentum Cypress has created lately, having won six straight games.
“And maybe we get a little bit of a judgment about where we’re really at,” Weber said.
Cypress junior right-handed pitcher Matt Morrell, who committed to Oregon State, shut out Bishop Amat for five innings before giving up a run in the sixth. Zack Ocampo pitched the sixth and seventh innings.
The Centurions scored a run in the top of the first inning. Luke Matlock hit a double into the left-center field gap and scored on Montgomery’s single.
Matlock led off the fourth inning with a single. One out later, Montgomery launched one that hooked around the foul pole in left field for a two-run homer.

“I thought it was going to go foul,” said Montgomery, who has played many travel ball games at Amerige Park, which was built in its current form in 1934. “But then I saw it go into the trees.”
Montgomery had two hits against Santa Margarita in the semifinals.
“I’ve been hot at the plate, seeing the ball really well,” said Montgomery, who is 6-foot-3, 178 pounds. “We faced some pretty good arms, so I m very happy having success against those kinds of guys.”
Cypress is 4-0 in the Empire League. The Centurions return to league play next week with two games against Crean Luthean.
Bishop Amat, in second place behind Serra of Gardena in the Del Rey League, plays a nonleague game Wednesday against Village Christian.

Deal and Sevenoaks have been listed as two of the best places to live in the UK, yet again. The Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2022 has listed both towns in their list of the best places to live in the country.
Sevenoaks has been named the best town in the South East but Deal high up in the ranking too. Sevenoaks has been described as having a combination of convenient commutability, top-class schools and an abundance of greenery. It also has festivals that offer cultural clout, there's a sporting scene and the high street has plenty of independent gems, notably the Sevenoaks Bookshop. The average house price is £685,500 and the town has seen a 7% growth since 2020.
Deal is described as having an energetic community, eager to improve the town in any way they can. Some initiatives have been praised such as the community hop farm and the revival of gleaning, harvesting unwanted crops, also helped land its place along with the beautiful coast.
READ MORE: Deal is one of the best places to live in Kent but I'm glad it's not number 1
The average house price is £326,000 and it has grown by 18% since 2020. Helen Davies, The Times and Sunday Times Property Editor said: "The Sunday Times Best Places to Live list is necessarily subjective. Leave it just to statistics and you will never capture the spirit of a place.
"For that, you need to visit to take into account that ‘you have to be here’ feeling. Is the pub dog-friendly, for example? Can you live car-free? What are the schools and houses like? Is it multicultural and multigenerational, and can it offer a good way of lifemto lots of different sorts of people?
"Ten years ago, when we launched the inaugural list, London’s gravitational pull was strong, the WFH revolution had not yet reached our doorstep and high streets were stacked with chains. How times have changed — and how welcome that change is.
"This year we have discovered new best places to live from resurgent city centres in the North, rejuvenated suburbs across the country, hidden villages in the Southwest, and a commutable Scottish island.
"We hope there is something to suit everyone."

Plenty of us decided to welcome new four-legged friends into our homes in the last couple of years – according to the Kennel Club figures dog ownership soared by nearly eight percent – and post-lockdown demand for puppies remains high.
There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.
Those with active lifestyles might want to consider a larger dog, while somebody with allergies will be looking for a hypoallergenic dog.
There’s even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ ranking breeds by instincts, obedience, and the ability to adapt.
One thing worth considering before making a decision is that certain breeds of dog get on really well with children, while others are really only suitable for grownups.
So, here are the 10 breeds of dog that make perfect pets for families with young children – and those that should be avoided.

Dora Noyce: The life and times of Edinburgh's most notorious madam and brothel keeper
Prostitution is, they say, the oldest profession in the world and regardless of class, it's certainly be a part of life in the Capital over many centuries.
Let us know what you think and join the conversation at the bottom of this article
From the red light districts of Leith, first on Baltic Street then Salamander Street, to the relative 'safety' of city's saunas, regarded as many as legalised brothels, and the lap dancing and 'Go Go' bars of the ‘pubic triangle’, soon to be no more, Edinburgh's relationship with the sex trade has been long and difficult.
Back in the Fifties and Sixties, however, it was one Dora Noyce, the Capital's most notorious madam, who regularly stole the headlines thanks to her Danube Street brothel, Dora's, which catered for everyone from sex-starved sailors to esteemed city fathers.
Reportedly the epitome of the genteel, refined Edinburgh lady, Morningside matron Noyce could regularly be seen in her fur coat and pearls as she made her way to her business at 17 Danube Street where, famously, Conservative Party posters would appear in the windows at election time, an attempt to add an air of 'respectability' to her decidedly illegal doings, perhaps.
Noyce ran her Stockbridge brothel from just after the Second World War to the mid-1970s, becoming a pioneer of the modern sex industry along the way.
In its heyday, the stately townhouse's late night activities, where anything and everything was on the menu along with a cup of tea afterwards, would see sailors queued around the block when the Navy dropped anchor at Leith Docks – at such times Noyce would draft in additional girls to populate her 'Pleasure Palace' - she hated the word brothel - to meet the demand.
It wasn't just sailors, Noyce's air of well-bred sophistication attracted many from the higher echelons of Edinburgh society. Despite her la-di-da act, however, Noyce was born in Rose Street, then a rough area of pubs and poverty, 1900.
Born Georgie Hunter Rae, the youngest of five children born to Alexander Rae, a cutler, and his wife, Mary.At 23 she had her only child, a little girl called Violet, whose father was named on the birth certificate as handyman Ernest Noyce who, by the time of his death she regarded as nothing more than a friend.
The war had just ended when she launched her business where taxis dropped off streams of customers day and night – come Festival-time, Danube Street's house of ill-repute was one of the hottest tickets in town.
Business also boomed when the USS John F Kennedy docked at Leith, the queue for her girls' services is said to have stretched all the way to Ann Street and the stroy goes that the brothel did around £4,000 of business before the ship's captain declared it out of bounds to his sailors.
Former Edinburgh Detective Superintendent and crime writer, the late Peter Ritchie, once recalled, “Back in Fifties, Sixties and Seventies when local brothels were commonplace in the Capital, none was more famous than Dora’s. Dora Noyce operated as a madam from 17 Danube Street, Stockbridge, where it is said 15 resident prostitutes worked, with others called in when the business was busy.
“Noyce famously claimed she was at her busiest during the Festival and when the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland was in session.”
He continues, “When Tom Wood [a former Deputy Chief Constable] and I were talking... we got on to Dora’s, which was on Tom’s beat at one time. Dora cultivated the homely approach, but I think she was a bit of a one-off to be honest. It’s no secret that she was not unfriendly to the police - for all the times that she was taken to court it wasn’t like she was dragged there kicking and screaming. She would always argue she was providing a public service.
“One of the things Tom has discovered from that time is that brothels in Edinburgh, and apparently it was the same in Dora’s, kept the top floor for the ‘high heid-yins’, the bottom floor for the ‘you and me’.”
With such an eclectic mix of customers, discretion was the word for Noyce and her girls, who never kissed and told.
Recalling a visit to Dora's in the Seventies while on a stag night, writer Roddy Martine, who did not indulge in No 17’s services, said, “I remember it being rather scruffy. There was a big television and girls sitting about on sofas with drunken men. Dora served glasses of dry white wine and asked the suddenly sober stag night revellers if they were sailors.”
His group proved particularly popular with the girls, he recalled, “Seven or eight girls sat around chatting to a few overweight middle-aged punters, but since we were all in our early twenties, they soon came over to inspect us.”Not everyone appreciated Dora's business. Mairi Macbeath, her next door neighbour, ran a guest house and would pretend to photograph punters on their way to No 17 and then threaten to send the pictures to the men's wives – the camera never actually had any film in it.
Running her tight ship and maintaining a working relationship with police and most locals, Noyce avoided trouble and, on the occasions when police officers did raid the joint, she would open the door with the welcome, “Business or pleasure, gentlemen?”Charged more than 40 times with living off immoral earnings, Noyce served her last prison term - four months - in 1972 at the age of 71. She died five years later in 1977 and although her business continued, without her presence it soon closed and the property was redeveloped as flats.

Edinburgh council elections 2022: Tory manifesto promises to 'clean up Capital' with spring clean of city and change in council culture
Tories are pledging to “clean up the Capital” in their manifesto for the council elections – by launching an immediate deep “spring clean” of the city.
Let us know what you think and join the conversation at the bottom of this article.
The party promises a bigger enforcement team to deal with fly-tipping, litter and dog fouling; a new graffiti taskforce; and a comprehensive weed-clearing programme. It says it would also end the charges for garden waste collections; scrap the special uplift charge; review the communal “bin hubs” project; keep gull-proof sacks in the World Heritage Site; start a programme to put communal bins underground wherever possible; and scrap the booking system at recycling centres.
On transport, the party gives a guarantee that no changes would be made unless they were shown to have public support through consultation.
And as well as scrapping Spaces for People schemes where they were opposed in the public consultation, the Tories promise to “fix the disgraceful condition of our roads” and innovate for cheaper and better road repairs. “We will prioritise road repairs by ending the arbitrary ring-fencing of 10 per cent of the roads and transport budget for cycle lanes, instead allocating resources to projects which benefit all road and pavement users.”
They would also oppose more controlled parking zones where there is no demand; stop the workplace parking levy; and reintroduce a cycle hire scheme.
And the Low Emission Zone would be reviewed. “If the Scottish Government insists on an LEZ in Edinburgh it should cover Princes Street alone as this would remove any remaining polluting buses and be far cheaper to enforce.”
Conservative group leader Iain Whyte said Edinburgh had suffered from ten years of misrule by the SNP and Labour. “It’s about time our residents had a council administration which listened to them and respected their views. The SNP and Labour groups actively dislike the way most Edinburgh people lead their lives and are dedicated to hectoring them into following their diktat.
“For ten years, both parties have imposed their increasingly strident dogma on the Edinburgh public and the Conservatives are promising to do what they should have done. We will deliver the efficient services residents demand, not give them what SNP-Labour councillors arrogantly think is good for them.
“Only the Edinburgh Conservatives have enough seats on the council to make a meaningful impact against this flawed SNP-Labour partnership. It is only by voting Conservative that our residents have any chance of being served by a council which meets their needs.”
The Tories say they would change the council’s “cover-up culture” through “new leadership, at both political and organisational levels” as well as speeding up implementation of recent recommendations and introducing new staff policies on whistleblowing, bullying, harassment and tackling domestic abuse.
And they promise to “end the culture of allowing people to resign or retire immediately with full notice payments when allegations are made”.
The Tories say they would demand the Scottish Government builds funding for a council tax freeze into future years’ budgets. But they pledge to cap council tax increases at 2.5 per cent a year if the government refuses. Council house rent rises would also be capped at 2.5 per cent.

Two Hearts players return to face Hibs but four others ruled out
Hearts will welcome back defender Nathaniel Atkinson and winger Gary Mackay-Steven for Saturday’s encounter with Hibs, manager Robbie Neilson confirmed.
The Australian was ill last week and missed the trip to Ross County, whilst Mackay-Steven has been absent since breaking a bone in his hand in the 2-2 draw with Dundee United on March 5.
Both trained at Riccarton and will be available for the first 3pm Saturday Edinburgh derby in 16 years this weekend. However, the match will come too soon for midfielder Cammy Devlin and defender Michael Smith, who are now running after hamstring and back injuries respectively.
“Gary and Nathaniel are back so that’s good news,” said manager Robbie Neilson. “Gary had the issue with his hand and had surgery so we’ve been waiting on that to heal. Nathaniel was ill last week after international duty with Australia.
“It wasn’t Covid but he was drained after two games and all the travelling involved. Toby Sibbick came in at right-back against County and did well for us.
“We’ve got Michael Smith back running and Cammy Devlin back running and for both of them this will come too soon. But maybe Cammy for the Scottish Cup semi-final next week.”
Defender John Souttar is expected to miss both Hibs games with an ongoing ankle injury, and midfielder Beni Baningime is out until later this year after damaging his cruciate ligament.
“John is okay, he had a wee tidy up and the hope is that we will get him back for the last few games of the season. That’s got to be his aim,” said Neilson. “Firstly, he wants to get back playing then there are big Scotland games coming up over the summer so he has to get himself into a position where he can get back in the squad again.”
Neilson has utilised his squad to help offset a raft of injuries to important players in recent weeks. They are slowly beginning to return as Hearts prepare to meet Hibs in the Premiership at Tynecastle before next week’s semi-final against the same opponents at Hampden Park.
“I think everyone goes through that period of injuries,” added Neilson. “We’ve probably been quite lucky in that for most of the season we’ve only had a couple of wee niggles here and there.
“We’ve gone through a period where we’ve lost a number of players and because we don’t have a big squad externally it looked as if we were low on numbers. But the players who came in are good quality. Peter Haring has come in, Andy Halliday has come in, Aaron McEneff has come in, Sibbick, Taylor Moore. They’ve done well because they’re good players.”
Both Hearts-Hibs fixtures earlier this season ended goalless, but this will be Shaun Maloney’s first visit to Gorgie as a manager. Neilson has noted the change in playing style at Easter Road since the former Scotland internationalist took charge.
“They’ve changed managers, so they were 4-4-2 and now they’re 3-4-3, 3-5-2, whatever you want to call it,” he said. “They’re more possession-based, but ultimately it’s about winning football matches. Whatever they play we’ll be looking to beat them.”

'Mrs Hibs' Sue McLernon lands new role with Hanlon Stevenson Foundation
Unsung Hibs hero Sue McLernon – affectionally known as ‘Mrs Hibs’ – has landed herself a new role with the Hanlon Stevenson Foundation.
The die-hard supporter received a wave of tributes from supporters, staff and players when her impending departure from Easter Road was revealed last month.
McLernon worked for Hibs for over 40 years in a variety of positions, starting as a volunteer in the club shop before eventually moving on to head up Hibs Kids and ultimately her final role as education officer with the Hibernian Community Foundation.
She also played a major part in the Persevered Tour, which saw Hibs take the Scottish Cup round 114 schools in the Edinburgh, Lothians and Fife following the 2016 triumph over Rangers.
After finishing up with Hibs at the end of March – though she’ll still organise matchday mascots until this summer – she was quickly approached by the charity with an opportunity to continue her excellent work in the community.
The foundation is fronted by club legends Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson and looks to help disadvantaged children.
"The Hanlon Stevenson Foundation approached me after they heard about what had happened. They asked me to accept, which I have done, the position of head of community projects,” McLernon revealed to the Evening News.
"I'm now going to be working with the foundation, which is fantastic. Paul and Lewis, and their families, have always been special to me, so to be able to help within the foundation and to deliver and come up with new projects for disadvantaged kids in all areas of the town, it's an absolute honour for me to be asked to do that.
"It's a really exciting new chapter. Everything happens for a reason and maybe this is it.”
McLernon also revealed she’s been given a season ticket for life by the club as a thank you to her years of tireless service.
"The club have very kindly offered me a lifetime season ticket, which I'm not sure whether it's a perk or a punishment,” she joked. “That was extremely kind of them and I've accepted that gratefully.”

Martin Maughan ready to fire Tranent to the top in EoS after Leith move
Tranent’s Martin Maughan has made a flourishing start with the Foresters Park men since making the step up to the East of Scotland Premier League.
The 22-year-old striker made the move from First Division Leith Athletic in January after a prolific 18-month spell with Steven Chalmers’ side, and he’s not looked out of place in the top tier.
The ‘Bingham Bull’ as he’s affectionately known, bagged his first hat-trick for Tranent in a 10-0 East of Scotland Cup rout of Hawick Royal Albert United last weekend and he’s keen to get fire more trebles to help the Belters in their pursuit of the league title.
“It has been a bit of step up, the league is a lot tougher and we are challenging for the league. I’m enjoying it and I’ve cemented by place in the team now,” said Maughan, ahead of hosting Crossgates Primrose in the league tomorrow.
“I was at Edinburgh United 20s before Leith and I tried to play for their first team but it never really worked out for me, I wasn’t getting a game so I left to go to Leith. Stevie Chalmers was brilliant with me, he took a chance on me and it worked out good for me and the club.
“The way Leith went about it [the move to Tranent] was brilliant; Ger Freedman, the chairman, was great – I went with their best wishes there was no bad feelings about me moving on; they wanted what I wanted.
“Leith was quite close to my heart so it was hard for me to go, but I sort of felt I was ready for a step up. When Calum [Elliot] phoned me it was a no brainer with the way he was talking and having the chance to learn from a brilliant striker like he was, was a bonus.
“There are three or four strikers at Tranent who are all good players, so you can sort of learn from them. You’ve got Wayne McIntosh who has played at this level for about 15 years and he’s scored goals everywhere he’s been, so I’ve just been picking up bits and pieces from players like him. We all push each other on, there is no jealousy, we all want the best for each other.”
Neither side above Tranent are in league action tomorrow so Maughan’s side have the chance to usurp Penicuik Athletic and go top with their game in hand. He added: “Penicuik and Linlithgow are brilliant sides, so we have a tough title challenge on our hands. We just need to take it one game at a time.
"Crossgates are a really good side, they just beat my previous club Leith 3-0 and Leith are a good side, so we know what to expect. We know it’s going to be a tough game so we need to be at it.”
Cuikie are back in league action on Tuesday night, away at Hill O’Beath who face second-placed Linlithgow Rose in the East of Scotland Cup fifth round on Saturday.

As institutional needs have increased and grown in complexity, our time as higher ed professionals has become less and less our own, write Wilmarie Rodriguez and Amy Carpenter.
The “B” word is an important but surprisingly controversial topic in higher education. Some organizations refuse to use the word at all. Other institutions and leaders highlight its undeniable significance. And the stresses of work-life balance and the blurring of lines between being on the clock and being at home in a professional world forever changed by the COVID-19 pandemic have only intensified the conversation.
What is this word that incites so much debate? Be warned—we’re going to say it in its full form. Boundaries.
Regardless of how you feel about boundaries, we’re almost certain that you have some thoughts and opinions. Is it so bad to be asked to consider them?
Many higher education leaders and professionals seem to think so. But why? Why is it so taboo for higher education professionals to communicate their needs? In this first of two articles about placing boundaries, we will cover what boundaries are, how they are generally approached in higher education, how we’ve gotten to this point and where we need to go.
What are boundaries, anyway? Generally speaking, they are the limits we place in social and professional interactions to ensure that other people don’t violate or jeopardize our own values. Boundaries are our way of communicating how we expect to be treated and defining what actions we will and won’t accept from others. Well-communicated boundaries serve as a sort of instruction manual for interpersonal interaction and help us form stronger, deeper connections with the many different people around us.
The trouble—or, more correctly, perceived trouble—with boundaries arises when personal boundaries clash with institutional needs. Institutional leaders may, for instance, perceive a personal boundary of not answering work emails after 5 p.m. on a weeknight as an unwillingness to be a team player. Similarly, they may view a personal boundary of preserving 30 minutes of break time for every three hours spent in meetings as a selfish hoarding of resources that could otherwise benefit the students we serve. As institutional needs have increased and grown in complexity, our time has become less and less our own. As we try to reclaim the personal parts of our lives, we are beginning to realize just how tipped the work-life balance scales have become in favor of work.
It’s important to recognize that no malicious plot got us all here. As with most imbalances of power, our current trouble with boundaries started small. To give a hypothetical example, it may have begun with extending office hours 30 minutes to accommodate a student with an evening class. Once that accommodation intended for one student became known, others then requested similar special allowances. As higher education professionals, we are trained and coached to serve students above all else, so we agreed. Before we knew it, our office hours were never truly over, emails that poured in at 3 a.m. were expected to be answered before the next workday and we became trapped in a situation with no off switch.
From the institutional side, such extra work is a symbol of our dedication. We’ve answered those 3 a.m. emails because we care—if we didn’t, we just wouldn’t, right? We must like to give that extra time, as we continue gifting it.
So how about some volunteer opportunities at night or on the weekends? We show our students how much we care by serving them midnight breakfast during finals. We reschedule our own children’s birthday parties to be able to serve popcorn at a student picnic. Again, we show we care. And that’s reinforced by staff awards, bonuses and prizes for those who go “the extra mile” on top of the five extra miles they’re all already going.
We’ve entered a cycle that, at its core, was never intended to be a negative but has nevertheless led to professionals leaving higher education in droves. Asking us to care about students is fair—it’s why we chose the careers we did. As we have continued to say yes to increasing demands, however, those increased levels of engagement have become the expectation for new professionals entering the field. To prove themselves, they now have to perform above already-inflated baselines for success. The end result over time: unrealistically high expectations for individual performance, coupled with institutional promises to maintain and expand student offerings without the human capital to do so.
Personal boundaries are such a taboo topic in higher education because they force professionals at all levels to acknowledge the aspects of the field that just aren’t sustainable. Fixing those aspects will require work—hard, uncomfortable, unsettling work—which we are often more inclined to avoid than embrace. It’s the question of the enemy we know versus the enemy we don’t. We already know we can survive under the current conditions, and it’s more comfortable to accept that known than risk the difficulty of making a change.
But let’s think about what will happen if we don’t put in that extra hard work. Already, many professionals who entered our field excited, energetic and wanting to impact students’ lives have fled for greener pastures that allow them to use their talents without facing never-ending burnout. With a slower stream of new professionals refreshing the employee pool, the rest of us are forced to take on higher demands when our demands were already over capacity. Eventually, this kind of burnout can create disillusionment in even the most dedicated professionals. When we have no life beyond work, are we really living?
We must keep reminding ourselves in this conversation that there is no villain. This is not a discussion of professionals versus institutions or institutional leadership. We have created this system together, both by expecting too much of ourselves and expecting too much of our workers. And we will need to fix it together.
A feeling has developed that we cannot create boundaries for ourselves because they might limit our ability to serve students. In the short term, that’s true— what it means to serve students may look a bit different. But a workforce that is able to get a full night’s sleep, spend quality time with family and loved ones, and eat three square meals a day will be in a better position to give students what they need in the hours reserved for that work. Such a healthier workforce will attract new professionals who want to be part of a field that allows them to follow their passions while also enjoying life outside the walls of their institution. With more and happier people to serve them, students will be better supported and will have models for setting boundaries in their own professional lives.
This is where we are. It’s hard to talk about because it requires us to shake up the status quo. Especially during the last few years of the pandemic, both faculty members and administrators have been realizing how much life they’re missing because of the extra demands of their work, and they’re choosing to leave rather than continue to miss that living. No matter our connection to the field of higher education—longtime supervisor, new professional or family member or friend to a higher education professional—we all can all take steps to start the process of changing the unrealistic expectations that have come to define the field.
After all, we owe it to the people in our fields and institutions to create environments that foster, rather than stifle, their passion. In an upcoming piece, we will discuss the ways that higher education professionals in all stages of their careers and at all levels of seniority can help mold and maintain those kinds of environments.

Confessions of a Community College Dean
In which a veteran of cultural studies seminars in the 1990s moves into academic administration and finds himself a married suburban father of two. Foucault, plus lawn care.
Title
Friday Fragments
Comparing college tours, mystery science recommendations and fun with financial aid.
Last weekend featured back-to-back tours. The Girl and I went to admitted students day at the University of Maryland on Saturday, and I went to Brookdale’s open house on Sunday.
Selfishly, the best part of the Maryland visit was the extended windshield time with TG. With nothing to do for hours but talk, I got to see her mind in extended action. Some professors somewhere are in for a real treat in a few months. The second-best part was seeing my brother and his family, who live just outside of D.C. But the campus was worthwhile, too. It’s a beautiful setting, and I didn’t realize just how close it is to D.C. (College Park has its own Metro station.) The info session that started the day was a bit more specific than open house info sessions, which made sense given that everybody there had been admitted.
The campus tour was much like others had been, though the tour guide was admirably high-energy. The campus itself is lovely, and we got to see the dorms that would house TG if she goes there. (“Honors humanities” is abbreviated “HoHum,” which struck both of us as terrible marketing.) We saw buildings, athletic fields and students. We didn’t see faculty.
At the Brookdale open house, which set an attendance record this year, you couldn’t miss the faculty. They turned out in force, stationed at tables around campus to talk to prospective students about their programs. Some programs (such as culinary) also had students present, but the faculty outnumbered them. We also had offices like Disability Services and Financial Aid in high-visibility spots, given their importance to many prospective students.
After a brief stint of directing pedestrian traffic, I started going from table to table to check in with the faculty and see how things were going. Multiple information sessions for business and criminal justice were packed. Psychology and education were popular, which isn’t surprising, but so was philosophy, which did my heart good. The STEM and health folks had the best props, but everybody brought their best. I came away wishing Maryland had done something similar. TG would have devoured that. I understand why they don’t, but faculty make wonderful recruiters when they get to show where they shine.

This week also brought a pair of cultural discoveries that are just too good not to share.
If you were a certain age in the late ’70s, and maybe just a little bit nerdy, you may remember the show In Search Of. I loved it. Leonard Nimoy narrated investigations of then-popular sorta-science topics like Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle and the Loch Ness monster. Episodes like the one on the killer bees that would get us all by the year 2000 held me spellbound. I vividly remember watching the episode on the coming ice age, which featured footage from the town next to mine.
In retrospect, its batting average wasn’t perfect.
I just found a podcast that revisits the old episodes in light of what we know now. It’s called In Research Of, naturally. The hosts get a little too inside-baseball sometimes, but it’s a hoot to hear reasonably well-informed treatments of the topics that obsessed 9-year-old me. And the “Nimoy fashion alerts” are a nice touch. (“The corduroy jacket really picks up his sideburns.”)
For something more current, I just discovered the PhysicsGirl channel on YouTube. The star, Dianna Cowern, is an MIT-trained physicist who offers chipper and accessible treatments of emerging technologies and/or mysteries. The episode on the rocks that seemingly move across the floor of Death Valley by themselves had me spellbound; it was like an updated In Search Of, but with better science. If you have 15 minutes or so, it’s worth the watch.

The Girl’s college decision process continues. One of the schools, having already received both the FAFSA and the CSS profile, now wants additional tax documents. It chose to wait until late March to bother mentioning it. For reasons the nice representative on the phone couldn’t explain, after I upload them to the college’s financial aid site, it takes the better part of a week for the college to receive them. This, during the one-month window between hearing where she got in and the deadline for deposits.
FedEx would have been faster. If I trusted the school not to pull another “oh, and one more thing,” I’d be tempted to make the several-hour drive and hand them the forms in person.
So we still don’t have the financial aid offer from that one. It’s one of her favorites, so it matters.
From a parental perspective, though, it seems like the combination of the FAFSA and the CSS profile should really be enough. And if it isn’t, don’t wait until late March to say so, and then sit on uploads for a week. Grumble, grumble …

Analysis of data suggests that Brexit is responsible for the transatlantic shift.
A rise in the number of international students from Europe going to Canada appears to be a product of Brexit, according to an analysis of the latest trends in immigration data.
Figures from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on the number of study permit holders in 2021 from various countries show there was an increase of between 10 and 80 percent from some Western European nations last year compared with pre-pandemic levels.
This compares with total holders of Canadian study permits, as of Dec.31, 2021, of 621,000 from all countries, a figure that was still 3 percent below the number of permit holders at the same time in 2019.
Canada-based recruitment platform ApplyBoard, which highlighted the figures in a blog post, said 37 of 44 European countries saw growth in study permit numbers last year that were higher than overall growth.
“While it’s well-documented that Covid-19 created pent-up demand for international education with students in all countries, this concentrated spike in interest across Europe looks to be a product of Brexit,” the blog post said. “European students who previously would’ve opted to take advantage of reduced tuition fees at UK institutions are now casting their search wider, pursuing education opportunities in Canada.”
Data from Britain have suggested there has been a collapse in undergraduate recruitment from European Union nations in 2021–22, the first academic year since a Brexit-induced change in rules that meant European Union students face higher fees and no access to government-backed loans.
Data on undergraduates, as well as figures on issued study visas, have suggested that student mobility has been particularly limited in Eastern European countries, with falls in entrants of well over 50 percent.
However, the numbers in Britain from Western European nations, where Canada has mainly seen an uplift, still appear to have fallen by substantial amounts. For instance, while about 3,800 British study visas were issued to German citizens in 2021, British universities had about 6,400 entrants from Germany in 2019–20.
Among the largest European nations, German citizens represented the biggest rise in Canadian study permit holders last year, growing 70 percent from 2019 to about 5,000.
However, it is not clear what portion of the increase is in higher education: the ApplyBoard blog also has data indicating that about 70 percent of study permit approvals from Germany from January to November last year were for K-12 education, and a quarter were for universities and colleges. A high share of permits from two other nations with a large increase—Denmark and Belgium—were related to universities, though.
The data also show how India has become Canada’s dominant source country for international students, with 2021 study permit numbers of 217,000 now double the second-place country, China. Britain also has a rapidly growing number of students from India.
However, Meti Basiri, chief marketing officer and ApplyBoard co-founder, said despite their strong overall recruitment numbers this year, both Canada and Britain could face growing competition for students from the U.S.
He said from March to October 2021, student applications to U.S. institutions through ApplyBoard rose by 750 percent compared with the same period in 2020, which was heavily affected by the pandemic.
Policy changes in the U.S. aimed at international recruitment, together with “the program variety available within U.S. schools and popular STEM pathways” were “bound to heat up competition amongst Canadian and United Kingdom schools in the next few years,” Basiri said.

Even as men still occupy more of the top roles in higher education, the Community College of Denver breaks from the norm with an all-female executive leadership team.
Female students outnumber their male counterparts on college campuses—a statistic that has held strong for years—but leadership ranks are often heavily stocked with men. The Community College of Denver, however, is an exception, with an all-female executive leadership team.
President Marielena DeSanctis, who joined the college in January 2021, says she inherited a largely female executive team, and as the team saw turnover, she filled the empty positions with women.
“I don’t know that I would say it’s been purposeful at all to have an all-female team,” she said. “I think as each position has come forward, and as I’ve worked with this team, it’s just a very happy coincidence that the very best people possible for these roles all happen to be female.”
Statistically speaking, DeSanctis is an anomaly. The majority of college presidents are white men, a trend that is slowly changing, but as a Latina, she is an outlier. Yet it’s her experience as a woman of color and someone who has broken through the glass ceiling in higher education—and in her past career as an engineer—that she said allows her to connect with a student body that skews female and Hispanic.
Glass Ceilings
DeSanctis and her executive leadership team note the challenges women face as they try to carve out careers in higher education: they face pay disparities and rampant sexism, and many have the added pressures of accommodating a spouse’s career goals and caring for a family. A recent Gallup survey found that 28 percent of women in academe believe they’ve been passed over for a promotion because of their gender.
“Our whole leadership team has earned additional degrees while we worked full-time,” said Kathy Kaoudis, vice president of administrative services and chief financial officer at the Community College of Denver. “That’s really, I think, something that men don’t necessarily have to deal with. I think they usually end up getting the master’s or their doctoral degree right out of school, whereas women end up putting it off and then having to combine it with taking care of children and household and their job, which is not a small thing.”
Then, once women are hired, there’s often a perception that they were selected as a diversity choice—that colleges are bringing them on board to “check a box” rather than because of their qualifications.
Data compiled by the women-focused nonprofit Catalyst note that women are more commonly found in lower-ranking academic positions. For example, women are less likely to be in tenured faculty positions compared to their male peers. And that’s especially true for women of color.
When it comes to leadership roles, the data also skew in favor of men, according to an analysis from the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources. Over all, women comprise about a third of college presidents and 44 percent of provosts.
And even in the higher ranks of postsecondary education, the gender pay gap persists. For every dollar male presidents made in 2020, their female counterparts made $0.91, per CUPA-HR’s analysis. But having women at the top is good for the gender: one recent study found that women who worked under female presidents earned more and were promoted more frequently than those who worked for men.
Some observers note that community colleges do a better job than four-year institutions of hiring women and people of color in top positions.
“Yes, there are fewer women in those executive leadership roles across institutions of higher ed, but there are more women and more women of color and people of color in executive leadership roles in the community colleges than in our four-year partner institutions,” said Ruthanne Orihuela, provost and vice president for academic affairs at the Community College of Denver.
Data on disparities between male and female presidents are somewhat dated. And for other executive positions, these numbers can be hard to pin down. But the American College President Study from the American Council on Education does offer a glimmer of hope. While only 30 percent of presidents in 2016 were women—the last year surveyed—that number was up from 9.5 percent in 1986, said Hironao Okahana, assistant vice president of research at ACE. Likewise, numbers are trending up for presidents of color.
A new edition of the American College President Study is set for release next spring. While Okahana said it’s too soon to garner any insights from the forthcoming study, which is underway now, he notes that the new edition will focus on women’s pathways to leadership positions.
“There will be a lot of lessons that we hope we can draw from this flagship survey,” Okahana said, noting that it will also offer insights into “the presidential experience in the time of COVID.”
Mirroring Students
Colleges have long worked to recruit faculty and staff members of color. Part of the reason, experts say, is so that students can connect with relatable figures and learn from those who look like them. And an Inside Higher Ed/College Pulse survey from November found that students often want mentors from the same race and gender. For example, 40 percent of female students prefer a mentor of the same gender, compared to only 14 percent of male students, according to the survey results.
“We work so hard to try to make our staff and our faculty mirror our community and our student population, but we don’t always look at gender as a component of that,” Kaoudis said.
And at the Community College of Denver, the all-female executive leadership team feels that seeing is believing when it comes to letting others know that it’s possible to make it themselves. They can serve as examples to uplift students who may need to know that pathways are possible.
“I can speak from being poor, I can speak from being an immigrant, I can speak from being a Black woman and LGBTQ,” said Gillian McKnight-Tutein, vice president of student services at the Community College of Denver. “I can navigate several spaces where people feel less than or other.”

Students, parents, employees and administrators at historically Black colleges and universities are wrestling with the mental health challenges caused by repeated bomb threats.
When Tanya Washington Hicks heard there was a bomb threat at Morgan State University, she felt like her heart was being “squeezed” in her chest. She called her son, a freshman at Morgan State, in a panic on that February day but tried to tamp down the fear in her voice to keep him calm. He told her he was on lockdown in his dorm room.
Similar threats spread at historically Black colleges and universities across the country in February and March. Washington Hicks and other mothers with children at HBCUs started a text chain and shared the latest news as campus leaders and media outlets reported threat after threat.
Washington Hicks, a professor of law at Georgia State University, said the incidents raised unexpected concerns about her son going to college and never factored into the advice she’d given him when he enrolled at Morgan State, “like make sure that you’re getting enough sleep, make sure that you’re safe, make sure that you wear a mask in the middle of a pandemic.”
But “make sure you are protected from violent, terroristic threats … that wasn’t on my list of instructions for my son,” she said.
Things changed after the bomb threats became a regular occurrence at HBCUs and a handful of other colleges that disproportionately serve students of color.
There have been at least 59 related incidents investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation since January, according to the FBI, and they have caused campus shutdowns, police sweeps of academic buildings and heightened security on campuses. HBCU students, parents and leaders say the threats have also taken a mental toll, creating anxiety and stress among students, employees and their families and a need for expanded mental health services.
The threats came as HBCUs experienced a surge of philanthropic largess from donors like MacKenzie Scott and renewed attention and support from lawmakers in the wake of the racial justice movement prompted by the police killings of George Floyd and other Black people and the pandemic that disproportionately affected Black communities.
HBCUs are “a place where we’re supposed to be able to come feel safe and have a sense of belonging and develop into these leaders,” said Kennedy Reid, a third-year student at North Carolina A&T State University, which received a threat in early February. “It’s very hard to also hear that there are people who don’t want you in those spaces and they’re coming to infiltrate and impact a space that does want you.”
Brianna Fewell, a freshman at Spelman College in Atlanta, said after the third threat to her campus, in February, she was afraid to stay in her dorm room. But her family lives six hours away, so she remained on campus while some of her friends left and attended classes virtually for the rest of the week. Now she and her friends check their phones whenever the college’s alert system sends out a notice. She said some of her classmates get nervous when they see unattended bags on campus, and she feels uneasy when she sees people who aren’t Black on campus, a reaction that disturbs her.
HBCUs train Black students to be leaders in a diverse world, “so, the fact that we are hesitant to see other people who don’t look like us on campus, because we fear for our lives, is kind of doing the opposite effect,” she said.
No explosives have been found at the HBCUs targeted, but Washington Hicks said the prospect of bombings feels very real when placed in a historical context; bombings and burnings of Black institutions were once widespread in the South—and some occurred in the relatively recent past. Racially motivated attacks on Black churches still continue to be a recurring problem even today.
“I’ve studied this history,” Washington Hicks said. “This isn’t an anomaly. This is part of a pattern and practice of racial and terroristic threats that have included children, in what most people have considered to be safe spaces, like churches and synagogues and schools and homes. When you know that it can happen because it’s happened before, it just adds a whole new level of terror.”
Kylie Burke, president of Howard University’s Student Association, recently told members of Congress about how students, faculty and staff members were wrestling with stress and paranoia in the aftermath of multiple bomb threats to her campus. Howard has experienced at least four threats since January.
University leaders had to address “the weight of the anxiety felt on campus after students were repeatedly woken up with safety alerts, sometimes as late as 2 or 3 a.m. in the morning,” she said during a March 17 hearing held by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform about federal agencies’ responses to the bomb threats.
Cynthia Evers, vice president for student affairs at Howard, said the university extended the campus counseling center’s hours in response to the threats, stationed counselors in some of the residence halls and assigned more counselors to its crisis hotline. The university also hosted regular briefings for students with campus leaders and a Healing at Howard program that brings in an outside counselor to facilitate a group conversation about issues on campus.
“It was so important to be face-to-face with the students, because they were here and they were just feeling uneasy, and we just felt like they needed to see us and hear from us,” Evers said.
Reid, the North Carolina A&T student, said her classmates had already seen a deluge of social media posts about threats at other institutions by the time their campus was threatened.
“Everybody was, it’s sad to say, not very surprised,” she said. “I think that in the current time that we’re living in, it’s less and less surprising that these things happen against Black people, whether that be at HBCUs or in the political space or due to police brutality or things like that.”
Her university sent out emails encouraging students to see campus counselors, and some professors dismissed classes so students could take mental health days, but Reid didn’t feel like she needed the support services. She just accepted it as a string of racist incidents she expects to experience in her lifetime.
“I think everybody was pretty much not shocked by what was going on,” she said. “For me personally, this is one of the most minuscule events that I’ve experienced already just for being a Black person. The fact that there was a bomb threat—it’s just another one of those things where people don’t like you because you’re Black.”
Vivian Barnette, who directs the counseling center at North Carolina A&T, said it’s hard to tease out how many students are reaching out for counseling because of the pandemic and how many are disturbed by the threats, but she suspects the two issues have caused the surge of students coming to the center this year. She said generally 10 percent of the student body comes to the center for workshops, group sessions and individual counseling, and that percentage has jumped to 12 percent or higher. Students who seek out counseling at the center also usually attend between three and five weekly sessions, but now they’re choosing to attend up to eight sessions.
Between a pandemic that’s disproportionately affected Black communities and the uncertainty caused by bomb threats, some students are feeling like “this is just way too much,” she said.
Lodriguez Murray, senior vice president of public policy and government affairs at the United Negro College Fund, a membership organization representing private HBCUs, said he also worries about the mental health of HBCU administrators. They’ve had to balance taking the threats seriously and keeping students safe with not overreacting and causing widespread panic on campuses. He added that HBCUs are historically underresourced, and many don’t have the funds to beef up security and expand mental health services at the level they want.
Murray said some HBCU leaders have also told him they regularly receive other kinds of threats, including calls laden with racial slurs and promising violence if their institutions serve as polling sites or encourage students to vote. He believes the recent bomb threats are only a fraction of the threats these institutions receive, and many go unreported.
“This is an assault on many fronts coming from the shadows,” Murray said.
Some HBCU leaders are concerned that the threats may affect enrollment, but Murray believes most students will want to stay at their institutions. He said this isn’t the first time Black students have felt under attack and turned to HBCUs for a sense of belonging and as a bastion for activism. A 2021 study from the Stanford University Center for Education Policy Analysis suggested that increases in hate crimes actually drive students to HBCUs, and a number of HBCUs experienced enrollment surges after the 2016 election of Donald Trump and during the national protests that followed the murder of George Floyd.
“Those students are seeing the world change before their eyes,” he said. “These are the students that watched George Floyd die. These are the students that marched in the name of Breonna Taylor. I don’t believe this one event … will be anything that will negatively affect enrollment because of larger societal issues that did not just start at the beginning of this pandemic but have definitely been lit with a match of urgency in the last two years.”
Tonya Fewell, Brianna’s mother, said as “nerve-racking” as the bomb threats have been, “for me, an HBCU is the only choice for what I would want for my child because of my belief in what it does.”
Washington Hicks agreed that threats aren’t a deterrent for her sending her son to Morgan State. Her great-grandfather, mother, father, brother and a number of her cousins have all attended HBCUs. She said she’d rather see security bolstered at her son’s campus and concerted federal response to the threats than move him to a predominantly white institution where there’s no guarantee he’d be any safer.
“As a Black mother of a Black son, there are so many spaces that are unsafe for my child,” she said. “It just becomes another space in a long list of spaces where we know our children are not safe in this world because history tells us that much. My thought, and the thought of other mothers and fathers whose children are at HBCUs, was not ‘Well, he would be safer if I moved him to a different university.’”

A new social media app encourages students to post authentic snapshots of their lives at a random moment every day. There’s a lot of pressure on students to “be real”—but not too real.
Georgetown University junior Ben Telerski is no stranger to social media; he has over 28,000 followers on TikTok. When he first heard about the new social media app BeReal last summer, he was skeptical that he needed another online vehicle for expressing himself. But now he and his friends use the app almost every day.
BeReal “seemed a bit sketchy,” Telerski said. “Should we really be putting personal information and taking photos of where we are every single day at the same time?”
He decided that yes, in fact, they should.
BeReal, founded in 2020 in France, calls itself “not another social network” and prides itself on being an app for users who want to show their real selves online. “BeReal won’t make you famous, if you want to become [an] influencer you can stay on TikTok and Instagram,” the description for the app reads.
The app works by notifying users at a random moment each day to take a photo of themselves, whatever they’re doing, using the front and rear cameras of their smartphone. Users are encouraged to take the photo within two minutes, but they don’t necessarily have to post right away; many retake the image multiple times before sharing it.
BeReal then creates a post with the two images, showing the entire scope of the user’s surroundings at that particular moment. Users can’t see or comment on their friends’ posts until they share their own BeReal photo of the day.
On Thursday, Telerski said he got the notification from BeReal as he was walking to class and posted a photo of himself in a hallway at Georgetown.
“It’s authentic to what I was doing at that moment,” Telerski said. “I feel like it’s interesting to see the mundane things that people are not posting on other places.”
Telerski said most students at Georgetown are familiar with the app.
“I’ll be with people and the notification will go off and they’ll be like, ‘It’s BeReal time,’” Telerski said. “And even if people aren’t on it, they’ll still know about it.”
The app is making waves on other campuses, too. Students at institutions including Bowdoin College, the University of Alabama, Harvard University, Rice University and others have reported the rise of BeReal on their campuses as well. The app even has a campus ambassador program, in which students host parties to get other students to download the app.
But some students are raising questions about whether BeReal is as authentic as it claims. Telerski compared BeReal to the rise of “casual” Instagram, on which users post uncurated photos, usually without filters, and don’t care if the images are unflattering.
Telerski pointed out that people found a way to make casual Instagram curated anyway—and he suspects the same is happening with BeReal.
“I was reading about casual Instagram coming back, but then it became curating your image to seem casual,” Telerski said. “I feel like BeReal tries to go against that, but how I’ve seen people use it is not really in that sort of spirit, which is disappointing.”
He said some students get the BeReal notification and wait to post until they’re doing something exciting, such as going out with friends, rather than merely watching Netflix or doing homework in bed.
Brooke Erin Duffy, a social media researcher and professor of communication at Cornell University, said often on social media, friends and family members who follow a user’s social media accounts are seen as an “audience” rather than as actual people. That can lead young adults to create a curated account, with posed photos for their audience, as well as something more intimate like a so-called finsta—a portmanteau of “fake” and “Instagram”—which is essentially a second, private Instagram featuring uncurated photos and stories for a limited number of close friends and followers.
“Young people have developed ways to challenge the culture of performativity and wider systems of online surveillance,” Duffy said. “And so, I don’t see this push as fundamentally new, but I do think we’ve witnessed an uptick in calls for authenticity in the wake of the pandemic.”
Before the pandemic, Duffy co-authored a 2019 study that found that young people feel that family, educators and employers are surveilling their public social media accounts, creating pressure from students to be “perfect” online. So alternative accounts, such as finstas—and now newer apps like BeReal—serve as an online space where students can post more authentic elements of their lives for their closest friends, knowing that teachers, bosses and parents won’t have access.
There’s growing pressure on young people to post social media content that isn’t “too fake”—meaning too perfect or curated—but also that isn’t “too real,” such as unflattering photos and comments, Duffy said.
“People often refer to the Instagram aesthetic—it’s highly polished, carefully curated and quite aspirational,” Duffy said. “While there’s been a lot of attention to the potential role of this aesthetic in young people’s mental health, there’s also been a lot of backlash directed at those individuals deemed overly fake. This amounts to a double-edged sword as young people are expected to be real enough but not too real.”
Telerski said he prefers TikTok to BeReal because it allows him to talk about whatever he wants, whenever he wants. His most recent TikToks show him discussing the rainy weather in Washington, D.C., and trying to practice the piano on campus.
“I find that I can put a lot more content and thoughts into a TikTok versus just a picture on BeReal,” Telerski said. “I feel like my TikTok is more authentic to me because it shows a lot more of who I am than what BeReal shows, and I personally am pleased with how I try to keep my TikTok as authentic as possible.”
As for the future of BeReal at Georgetown, Telerski said because the app only allows users to post once a day, it’s not as addictive as Instagram, Twitter or TikTok, which hook users with their endless scrolls.
“I have been seeing it become more popular, but I think it’s going to fade away,” he said. “It feels like a fad. New platforms come and go at an astonishing clip, and there are countless start-ups vying for our time and attention and data at any given time. It remains to be seen whether BeReal will have real staying power, but the publicity it’s gotten recently can’t hurt.”

This week’s episode of The Key, Inside Higher Ed’s news and analysis podcast, revisits one of our most-listened-to episodes to explore a timeless issue: student cheating.
The episode includes a conversation with Bradley Davis, associate director of the Office of Student Conduct at North Carolina State University, who discusses the steps the university took in response to a roughly threefold increase in academic misconduct cases N.C. State experienced in the wake of the shift to remote learning.
It also provides national context through a discussion with two experts on academic integrity and learning: David Rettinger is a professor of psychological science and director of academic integrity programs at the University of Mary Washington, and Kate McConnell is assistant vice president for research and assessment and director of the Value Institute at the Association of American Colleges and Universities.

Haifan Lin, whom Yale University suspended in January in response to an apparent federal investigation linked to the since-ended China Initiative, is now allowed back on campus. Abraham Rein, one of Lin’s lawyers, said that representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice notified him via telephone that they had discontinued the investigation into Lin and had so informed the National Institutes of Health. The Justice Department, which did not respond to a request for comment, never charged Lin with anything.
Yale—which previously told professors alarmed by Lin’s suspension that the NIH “provided credible information that we must investigate”—said Thursday that Lin resumed meeting with students and trainees last week. He returned to his lab from administrative leave this week.
“In the rare situation in which a faculty is placed on administrative leave, the circumstance is specific to the case and it is only done with very careful consideration,” Karen Peart, university spokesperson, said via email. “Yale is glad to have been informed that the Department of Justice has discontinued its investigation of Professor Lin.” Lin is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Cell Biology and professor of genetics and dermatology at Yale.

Graduate assistants at Fordham University voted, 299 to 15, to form a union affiliated with the Communication Workers of America, they announced Thursday. The new union’s first contract includes formal grievance structures, pandemic-related funding extensions, protections for international students, better pay and comprehensive health care and childcare accommodations. Starting pay for graduate assistants is about $26,000 per year, according to the union. A majority of graduate assistants signed cards in favor of unionization and sought voluntary recognition from Fordham prior to the election.
The university said in a statement that it is “pleased that the process played out fairly: we accept the results of the vote and respect the student workers’ decision. We are proud of members of the university community who engaged in respectful and constructive conversation with one another and with the administration.” Contract negotiations are likely to begin in the coming months, and Fordham said it’s “committed to working with the union and its members in good faith.”

Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities have strengthened COVID-19 rules following a rise in cases.
“Since Spring Break, we have received reports of COVID cases among undergraduates who have recently traveled or who were exposed to someone who has recently traveled,” said an email to Hopkins students from Kevin Shollenberger, vice provost for student health and well-being. “Nearly 100 undergraduate students have reported a positive test since April 1, with cases evenly split among residential and non-residential students. Consistent with what we have seen this term, many students who tested positive are asymptomatic, and the rest are experiencing only mild symptoms.”
In response, Hopkins is temporarily instituting twice-weekly COVID-19 testing for undergraduates. The university is also reinstituting masking requirements for all persons in common areas of residence halls or in university dining facilities, except when actively eating or drinking.
At Georgetown, the university’s positivity rate last month jumped from 1.5 to 3.22 percent after 96 people tested positive between March 20 and 26, according to The Washington Post. The data show 117 people were sick between March 27 and April 2, increasing the university’s positivity rate to 3.82 percent.
As a result, Georgetown is reinstituting an indoor mask mandate—two weeks after it dropped its mandate.

Nine days after a joint committee of the South Carolina General Assembly castigated members of the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees and refused to endorse the re-election of five board members whose terms expire this year, a bill is being debated in the State Senate to fire all current trustees, reduce the total number on the board and elect a new board next year.
The proposal comes after the joint committee blamed trustees for the botched hiring of a president for the university and for approving spending millions of dollars to buy out the contracts of two fired athletics department coaches.
The bill was voted on earlier this week to beat a Thursday deadline for forwarding bills to the Senate. House lawmakers approved it 113 to 1 on Wednesday. The proposal was being considered by the state Senate Education Committee yesterday.
House speaker Jay Lucas introduced the bill Tuesday after the joint committee took the trustees to task over the hiring of a previous university president, Robert Caslen, a process that uncovered allegations of corrupt actions by the search committee, and the search for a successor after Caslen resigned. Committee members also criticized the use of nearly $16 million in university general funds by the athletic department to buy out the fired coaches’ contracts.
The bill would end the terms of all the board members in June 2023, change the district representation on the board and reduce the number of board members from 21 to 13. The current board members would be eligible to compete for new seats.

As part of an antiracism initiative, Meredith College in North Carolina will officially rename a building that honors “an advocate for white supremacy and unequal funding for schools based on race,” according to an announcement from the college.
Joyner Hall, an academic building on the Raleigh campus, is named for longtime trustee James Yadkin Joyner, whose “racist ideas … are antithetical to Meredith College’s mission, vision, and values,” the announcement said.
“The ongoing impact of Joyner’s role as an enthusiastic advocate for white supremacy and his role in differential funding for black versus white schools carries generational and lasting harm to BIPOC students … Therefore, part of our work is to recognize and account for that damage by ensuring our students and employees have equitable support and treatment from every aspect of the College.”
The Meredith Board of Trustees, which has the sole authority to make such decisions, voted on the name change at its March meeting. In a letter to the Meredith community, board chair Yvette Brown and college president Jo Allen noted that the building would temporarily be known as Lux Hall—“Lux” means “light” and is the college’s motto—until the trustees settle on a new name in the coming months.
They acknowledged that not everyone would be happy with the board’s decision. Nevertheless, “the ongoing harm done by Joyner’s initiative makes it untenable to continue to honor him—especially as an educator,” they wrote. “We understand the topics and decisions covered in this announcement may evoke strong emotions and reactions and encourage you to use your Meredith support systems as you process this information.”

The University of Wisconsin system postponed administering a student survey on campus free speech after the plan sparked controversy, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
The survey, originally scheduled to launch Thursday, will now be administered in fall 2022, according to an email sent Wednesday by Tim Shiell, who directs the Menard Center for the Study of Institutions and Innovation at the University of Wisconsin at Stout, to Michael Falbo, the interim president of the system. The center, which is funding the survey, is named for prominent conservative donor John Menard and was founded with a donation from the Charles Koch Foundation.
The decision to delay follows the resignation of Jim Henderson, the interim chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater. He and other chancellors reportedly raised concerns about the survey.
“We want to make sure we have a quality research project and given all the hoopla that’s arisen around this at this point, the research team just felt we couldn’t do the survey now and feel like the results were going to be reliable and credible,” Shiell told the Journal Sentinel.

Colleges need to listen to what tribal students need and provide customized support, Patrick Horning writes.
College is not easy for anyone, but the challenges faced by many tribal students are tougher than most.
After 15 years of working on higher education with Native Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians, I remain awed by the grit of the student on the reservation who relied on a gas generator to power her laptop for satellite internet access for her college assignments.
Then there was the devoted teacher who traveled many miles door-to-door on the reservation during the pandemic to personally hand out lessons on paper because her students had no internet access.
I also remember the young college student who returned to the reservation for the traditional two weeks of mourning for a deceased tribal leader, then returned to his campus afterward, only to learn that he had been dropped from his class because of nonattendance.
So many things that most college students take for granted—electricity, internet access, family and friends with generations of higher ed experience—are missing for many tribal students. Higher education officials have known about these problems for years, but most colleges simply offer tribal students a discount and call that “collaboration” or “a partnership.”
Rarely do higher education leaders ever ask what the tribal communities want and need.
At the University of Phoenix, we spent two years traveling the country seeking tribal leaders’ advice and input on higher education. We learned so much that we overhauled our tribal relations teams to meet the specific needs of tribal members, community residents, leaders and enterprises.
We found that many tribal leaders are focused like a laser on students’ return on investment from college—how much will a tribal member earn with a degree. We also learned that many businesses on and around reservations want help finding qualified applicants, especially with teaching and health-care jobs.
In response, we dissolved a tribal relations team, which had been affiliated with the enrollment department, and instead shifted to a tribal operations team that worked under workforce solutions. Some team members were assigned to work directly as counselors with tribal students; others made sure academic requirements of tribal financial aid and scholarship programs were being met.
The result: University of Phoenix tribal students are now progressing through their fourth course at rates eight to 10 percentage points higher than the student body at large, and they continue to outperform our nontribal students at the end of their first year. Many graduate with little or no student loan debt due to our Tribal Strategic Alliance Agreement with the National Indian Education Association, which gives members of Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities an opportunity to enroll in many online or in-person certificate or degree programs at the University of Phoenix for $5,250 per year, or about half the original cost.
Graduating with no debt means tribal students can afford to bring their new skills back to the reservation, where they set examples of success for the next generation of tribal students.
Every tribal graduate is a milestone. Today just 24 percent of Native Americans aged 18 to 24 are enrolled in college, compared to 41 percent of the total U.S. population. The college graduation rate for Native Americans is about a third lower than that for the overall population. These struggles and education barriers are a big reason why Native Americans have the highest poverty rate among racial groups in the United States.
After growing up amid a tribal community in Alaska, and then spending years working with tribal communities across the United States, I’ve learned one big lesson: we must listen to what tribal leaders, education counselors and tribal enterprise management are telling us.
For starters, they need internet access for online schooling. Tribal communities are the least connected in America, with about a third of all tribal residents lacking broadband. (On the Nez Perce reservation in Idaho, more than 80 percent of residents have no broadband.) Across America, nearly one in five reservation residents does not have any internet at home, whether wireless or land-based.
There’s also a big cultural divide. So many tribal students were born and raised on the reservation or in their tribal community, where advice is readily available from aunts, uncles, grandparents and elders. However, when students move to a traditional four-year campus in a faraway city, they find a foreign culture with little support network—like sending a U.S. exchange student to France who doesn’t speak French and has seen Europe only in movies.
Studies show that many Native Americans experience high levels of anxiety during their first six to eight weeks of college, and that these first weeks are critical in determining whether they drop out. And as those students return home, a harmful belief is cemented—the notion that college isn’t for them.
Instead of colleges adapting to these students, colleges wrongly assume the students would adapt to us. What works better is customized support and close contact. We continuously work to identify specific struggles, both academic and nonacademic, of tribal students.
For example, many tribal students are older, with families, who delayed college until their kids were grown. They juggle jobs and home life all while entering institutions built for someone else. For them, flexible scheduling and support from specialists who understand the education barriers help greatly.
We also found many students who were long on enthusiasm but short on some academic skills. Many reservation high schools struggle for funding. Targeted support and academic refreshers can give tribal students the confidence—and college focus—that they need to thrive.
So much of life on the reservation centers on personal experience. Each successful college student means so much to the graduate, the family, the community—and, in a powerful way, to the tribal culture.

Washington: Two US lawmakers have introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that aims at granting an automatic right to H-4 visa holders to work in the country, a move which will benefit the spouses of thousands of foreigners, including Indians, and also address the labour shortage affecting American businesses.
H-4 visas are issued to dependent spouses and children who accompany H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, and H-3 visa holders to the United States. Many H-4 visa holders are highly skilled people in their own right and previously had careers of their own or worked to support their families.
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. Technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China.
While H-2A visas are issued to people doing temporary agricultural jobs, H-2B visas are for people doing temporary nonagricultural jobs and H-3 visas are for nonimmigrant trainees or special education exchange visitors.
Introduced by Congresswomen Carolyn Bourdeaux and Maria Elvira Salazar on Thursday, the H-4 Work Authorisation Act seeks to change the current law and grant the spouses of H-1B visa holders an automatic right to work after receiving their H-4 visa.
This would remove the requirement for visa holders to apply for a Form I-765, an Employment Authorisation Document (EAD), they said.
The two lawmakers said the proposed legislation is aimed at addressing the labour shortage in the country affecting American businesses and helping immigrant families thrive together.
Right now, the spouses of highly-skilled immigrants have to fight through years of bureaucratic red tape before they are allowed to work in the United States.
This bill removes these needless barriers to ensure families can contribute and prosper together. If we are going to continue to be competitive and attract the greatest minds and talent around the world, we must ensure that the family members of high-value immigrants are able to build a life and career in the United States, just like everyone else, Bourdeaux said.
Salazar said this policy will help the US to maximise its entrepreneurial spirit and continue leading in job creation, innovation, research and development, and economic growth by meeting critical labour market needs.
Currently, the H-4 visa holders must apply for work authorisation and wait for it to be processed before they can work, even though they are already in the United States and their spouse is working here.
Due to backlogs at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), applications for work authorisation can take anywhere from six to eight months, with some applications taking over one year to be approved.
The bill, which has been endorsed by the National Immigration Forum and nonprofit advocacy organisation UnidosUs, hopes to fill America's labour gap and allow these visa holders to quickly work and provide for their families.
It could also help to reduce the backlog of work authorisation applications at USCIS by providing immediate work authorisation to H-4 visa holders and reducing the number of work authorizations USCIS must process, a media release said.

Moscow: The Russian ruble has almost completely recovered from the drop suffered from the sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies.
The ruble was valued at 79.7 ruble per dollar at closing on Thursday.
Less than a month ago --the ruble had recorded a new low of about 121.5 ruble to a dollar.
The Russian currency is now approaching the value of the Indian rupee. The exchange rate for India is Rs 75.99 per dollar.
The rapid recovery of the ruble is a major victory for the Russian President Vladimr Putin over Joe Biden who had earlier dismissed the currency as 'rubble'.
With the aim of supporting the ruble, the Russian Central Bank announced pegging the currency with gold -- one gram of gold is currently pegged at 5000 ruble. The move is expected to increase the flow of gold into the kitty of the Russian Central Bank.
With Russian gold coming under sanctions, the country's gold stocks -- from banks as well as individuals could be sold to the central bank. The value of the ruble will further increase once the central bank's gold stocks from domestic sources increase, which is expected to happen in the next few months.
Besides, Russian President Vladimir Putin also signed an agreement under which foreign buyers will be required to pay ruble for gas purchase. India and even European countries -- especially the smaller ones -- have now already started to pay ruble to purchase Russian gas.
Most of Europe, including Germany, is dependent on Russia for natural gas and oil.
Any currency backed by gold is perceived to be stabler and stronger.
Russia's gold reserves are estimated at more than 2298.53 tonnes. It is the fifth largest in the world, the US ranks number one, followed by Germany, Italy and France.
The State Bank of India in its report said that anchoring the currency to gold will help stabilize domestic inflation as well.
The dip in Russia's imports following the Ukraine war is also expected to improve its trade deficit and reflect positively on the ruble,
The Russian ruble's near complete recovery in recent weeks is not a signal that the Russian economy is weathering the sanctions Washington and its allies have imposed since Russia invaded Ukraine, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday.
The Russian economy is "reeling" from the sanctions imposed after the late February invasion, Yellen told the House Financial Services Committee. The market for rubles has become so distorted by actions of the Russian government and its central bank to limit capital outflows that "you should not infer anything" from the value of the ruble, which fell to a record low against the U.S. dollar immediately after the invasion but has since retraced most of those losses.

Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday kept borrowing costs unchanged at a record low for the 11th time in a row in a bid to continue supporting economic growth despite inflation edging higher in the aftermath of Russia's war in Ukraine.
RBI's six-member Monetary Policy Committee voted to hold the benchmark repurchase or the repo rate at 4 per cent, Governor Shaktikanta Das said.
The panel decided to stick to an accommodative stance "while focussing on withdrawal of accommodation to ensure that inflation remains within the target going forward while supporting growth".
As it now anticipates a much faster rise in inflation than earlier - the inflation forecast has been raised to 5.7 per cent for the fiscal that started on April 1, up from its 4.5 per cent estimate in February.
The RBI also lowered the economic growth forecast to 7.2 per cent for the current 2022-23 fiscal from the previous outlook of 7.8 per cent. This compares to real GDP growth of 8.9 per cent in 2021-22.
Stating that the economic activity is barely above pre-pandemic levels but continues to steadily recover, Das said the central bank will engage in a gradual withdrawal of liquidity over a multi-year timeframe beginning this year.
The RBI announced a new tool that will soak up excess cash in the banking system, restoring the width of the liquidity adjustment facility to 50 basis points - a step seen as moving away from the ultra-loose monetary policy embraced during the pandemic.
Das said the global economy is seeing "tectonic shifts" from the war and extreme volatility in commodity and financial markets.
"Caught in the cross-current of multiple headwinds, our approach needs to be cautious but proactive in mitigating the adverse impact on India's growth, inflation and financial conditions," he said.
Inflation has held above the targeted 6 per cent levels so far this year, casting doubts on the RBI's strategy of keeping interest rates low to bolster growth.
The geopolitical scenario on the global front and other challenges have led the RBI to lower its growth forecast but the Indian economy appears to be well placed to withstand the shock supported by its forex reserves and stable financial sector.
The governor said global crude oil prices remain volatile at elevated levels while food, as well as metal and other commodity prices, have also hardened significantly.
Private consumption and fixed investment - key drivers of domestic demand - however, remain subdued.
"Escalating geopolitical tensions have cast a shadow on our economic outlook," he said. "Sharp increase in domestic pump prices (of petrol and diesel) could trigger broad-based second-round price pressures."
Among other measures announced included a discussion paper on climate risk and sustainable finance, a committee to examine and review the current state of customer service in the RBI regulated entities, extending card-less cash withdrawal through ATMs across all banks, and rationalisation of the net worth requirement for operating units on the interoperable platform for bill payments Bharat Bill Payment System.
"As the daunting headwinds of the geopolitical situation challenge us, the RBI is braced up and prepared to defend the Indian economy with all instruments at its command," he said. "As we have demonstrated over the last two years, we are not hostage to any rulebook and no action is off the table when the need of the hour is to safeguard the economy."
The goals of price stability, sustained growth and financial stability are guiding factors.
During the pandemic, the RBI offered liquidity facilities of Rs 17.2 lakh crore, of which Rs 11.9 lakh crore was utilised. So far Rs 5.0 lakh crore has been returned or withdrawn on the lapse of various facilities on their due dates.
"The extraordinary liquidity measures undertaken in the wake of the pandemic, combined with the liquidity injected through various other operations of the RBI have left a liquidity overhang of the order of Rs 8.5 lakh crore in the system," he said. "The RBI will engage in a gradual and calibrated withdrawal of this liquidity over a multi-year time frame in a non-disruptive manner beginning this year."

The concept of polarity states that once a support or resistance level gets breached it may change its nature and become the opposite. So, for example, if a support gets breached it may become resistance and if a resistance gets broken it may become support.
This may help you to structure your trades around such levels and limit your risk by placing a stop loss below them. If you think that the direction of the trend is upward, but the price has been stuck in a range for some time, you can wait for it to first break out of the range, then pulling back to the old resistance and then entering placing your stop loss below it. So, if the price goes back into the range again, then your trade idea would be invalidated, and you would lose only what you planned to in advance.
Polarity is not precluded to support and resistance levels only though. In fact, you can see it working on many other technical tools like for example moving averages or trendlines. The trading thought process would be the same though, so you would use these tools just to limit your risk in case your trades don’t work out as expected. Below you can see an example with a moving average providing support to the price first being in an uptrend and then providing resistance switching to a downtrend.

Anyone who’s been to a performance of the Kansas City Symphony in the last 40 years might have noticed Susan Goldenberg. She’s the petite violinist with a big sound — and a big smile — who has been playing with the orchestra since the days it was known as the Kansas City Philharmonic.
All that time, Goldenberg has also had a side gig, playing in a duo with her brother William, a pianist, performing everywhere from concert halls and theaters to libraries and nursing homes.
It’s an enterprise that’s taken them all over the world.
“We’ve been to England and Paris, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Eastern Europe, Nova Scotia, Japan, China,” Susan says. “So that’s how we travel. We are very grateful.”
For the past 20 years, she says, they’ve tried to go somewhere new.
“We pick areas we haven’t been, and then I try to make contacts,” Susan explains. “I don’t know anyone, but I spend quite a bit of time contacting museums, universities — anyone who has a series, like churches. And I email all around and send our little clips and sure enough, a couple will answer and if we get enough that’ll kind of make it worthwhile, we schedule a two week trip in the summer.”
They’ve been making music together since they were kids growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. The two started formal music training when they were about six or seven, Susan remembers, but their first musical influence was their mother, a pianist and lover of classical and jazz music.
Susan was drawn to the violin early on, but William, who is now chair of the piano department at Northern Illinois University, has always felt a connection to the piano.
“Every day I wake up — I’m almost 72 now — and the first time every day when I sit down at the piano and hear the sound coming out of the instrument, even just sitting and improvising to warm up, I love the sound,” William says. “It’s like eating!”
In college — William at Julliard and Susan at Yale — they honed their duo sound and concept through a mutual love of Beethoven’s Sonata for violin and piano No.7 in C minor Op.30 No.2.
They’ve since performed that piece at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C., among other places.
For a brother and sister working together professionally, they’re not inclined toward disagreements and rivalry.
“We get along very well, unlike some siblings I think," William says. "But we don't argue about repertoire. We chose our music according to what we love to play.”
Having played under several music directors and countless guest conductors, Susan has definite ideas about the qualities she’d like to see in the successor to Michael Stern, who departs as the Kansas City Symphony’s music director at the end of next season.
“Someone that listens really well,” she says. “A musical messenger I would say, someone that can kind of engulf everyone. It’s a fine line and once they start conducting, you just get a feel right away. So, a wonderful leader, an enthusiastic dedicated person you know that has a lot of passion. You know, any flavor – just someone that we can all love,” she adds with a laugh.
After all, Susan and William Goldenberg know what it takes to be musical messengers.

UNITED STATES —
The company that owns money-sharing app Cash App announced April 4 that a data breach last December affected approximately 8.2 million current and former customers.
Block, Inc. recently discovered a former employee had downloaded Cash App reports with customer information, including full names and account numbers. While the employee had access to the reports during their employment, this instance was without permission and after they no longer worked there. It is not clear at this time what they did with the information.
For some, the breach included brokerage portfolio value, holdings and/or stock trading activity for one day.
The breach did not include usernames, passwords, social security numbers, birthdates, card or bank information, addresses or any codes or passwords used for Cash App.
Those outside the U.S. were not affected.
Block, Inc. has launched an investigation into the breach and is notifying the applicable authorities. It plans to contact those affected to share information about what happened, provide resources and answer questions.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —
The state of Washington has been allocated $370 million in federal transit funding for Fiscal Year 2022 through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, according to the Federal Transit Administration report. Washington received $276 million last year, seeing a 33.7% increase.
The Kennewick-Pasco major metropolitan area was allocated $9,666,662.
Under $100 million will be distributed through the Washington State Department of Transportation. It estimates $1,225,330 for Walla Walla, $2,497,883 for Wenatchee and $2,212,949 for Yakima.
“For the shipyard worker who rides the pre-dawn bus every morning, or the retiree with monthly medical appointments, this announcement means more reliable, more comfortable transit service,” said Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.). “Transit agencies across Washington will put this funding toward the day-to-day operation of our buses, light rail lines, ferries, and paratransit services.”
Through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Washington is expected to get $1.79 billion over the next five years for public transit.

Major League Baseball started their season Thursday but the Dust Devils will be waiting until Friday to get going in 2022.
The team will welcome back several players from the 2021 season ... though some only spent a little time ... but there are many more new faces.
One is Braden Olthoff who will get the Opening Day assignment on the mound for the Dust Devils.
"It's my first time in Washington but it's a small town. I'm definitely excited to meet some of the fans and some of the people that are from here."
Angels' No. 4 prospect, according to MLB.com, Kyren Paris got a couple of weeks in the Tri-Cities last season, but this will be his first full season.
"My first impression, I loved it. There's great fans that come out. There's a great community around the team. It was a fun place to play for sure."
Olthoff said he he considers it a great honor to be named the opening day starter and feels that he always wants to face the best he can.
The team says 14 of their players on the initial roster are new to the team entirely.
The first game takes place Friday at 6:35.

ELLENSBURG, WASH - Nearly 60 percent of car seats are not installed correctly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The agency said proper car seat installation and use can reduce the risk of fatal injuries among infants (under 1-year-old) by 71 percent.
The Ellensburg Police Department's car seat technicians offer same-day car seat checks. The department replaces recalled or expired car seats for free.
More than six million car seats were recalled for a safety defect in 2014, the most in U.S. history, according to NHTSA. The agency said less than half get repaired because parents are unaware of recalls.
"For us to have the knowledge and the ability to do the checks, it's going to save a lot of children's lives," said an Ellensburg Police Department car seat technician, Cammie Dixon.
Dixon said police officers see a lot of kids riding in cars incorrectly.
"[Car seats are] all set up differently, and we can help bring that confusion down," said an Ellensburg Police Department car seat technician, Danielle Bertschi.
Parents should bring their kids to car seat appointments to ensure a secure fit, said Bertschi. She said knowing a car seat is well fit for the child brings parents peace of mind.
"Especially as a new mom, you only want what's best for your family and it was that sense of relief that was just priceless," said Bertschi.
The Ellensburg Police Department is hosting an all-day car seat check clinic on June 11th.

Kansas baseball traveled to Columbia, Missouri on April 6, where the Missouri Tigers coasted past the Jayhawks in a 14-6 victory. Kansas attempted to come back from the deficit late but couldn’t overcome Missouri’s rolling offense.
The Tigers came out the gates hot and put up seven runs in the first two innings. That rally started with an error from sophomore infielder Maui Ahuna which brought home senior infielder Josh Day. Graduate infielder Fox Leum then knocked a two-RBI single up the middle to continue Missouri’s rally.
In the second, the Tigers struck out three Jayhawks and put up four runs of their own. The offense came from a string of four consecutive hits to start the inning before Leum hit a solo home run, helping Missouri jump to a seven-run lead.
Missouri’s seven-run lead took full command of the game at this point, and the Tigers never looked back.
It wasn’t until the fourth inning that Kansas finally produced offense of its own through redshirt senior catcher Nolan Metcalf. After Ahuna reached base on an error, Metcalf launched a two-run home run to right field.
Metcalf’s efforts cut Missouri’s lead to five, but the Tigers answered right back in the fifth inning. Senior catcher Tre Morris hit a two-run homer to regain the seven-run lead Missouri built to make the score 9-2.
Kansas’ pitching struggled on the mound on Wednesday, allowing 14 runs on 12 hits. The large Missouri run total came from the five wild pitches and nine walks allowed by the Jayhawk pitching unit.
Metcalf, however, bolstered the offense with a career-high five RBIs and two home runs. The second home run came as a solo shot in the sixth, and his two other RBIs came on a two-RBI single in the seventh.
Metcalf’s third hit of the night brought the score to 10-5, but the Tigers answered again with two runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh.
The Jayhawk defense struggled its worst in the seventh with redshirt freshman pitcher Grant Shepherd on the mound. Shepherd loaded the bases to start the inning, allowing a single, hitting a batter and walking another. With no outs, this provided a challenging situation for the Jayhawk infield.
After a botched double play at second, Ahuna fielded his third error of the night and allowed Missouri to grow its lead to 13-5. Those two plays summed up the defensive front on Wednesday and Missouri coasted the rest of the way to their 18th win of the season.
Kansas is back in action at Hoglund Ballpark in a three-game series against Illinois State starting April 8 at 6 p.m.

Keith & Keith Funeral Home
It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, Naomi Waltman, in Yakima just 32 days before her 90th birthday due to several medical issues. Mom was so excited to celebrate her 90-year milestone with her family, but God had different plans.
Born Naomi F. Adams on April 28, 1932 in Yakima, Washington to Henry C. & Opal P. Adams. As her dad was a construction worker she attended different schools, but graduated high school at Yakima High (Davis) in 1950.
Soon after she met her future husband Don Silvers. From that marriage came 3 children, Charlie, Dian & Debbi. As a young family they were busy camping, boating, and water skiing every weekend with a large group of special friends. That marriage ended in divorce. Mom was proud to be an apple packer at George Joseph Warehouse.
A few years later she met and married Wayne Kelsey. Together they were baptized and joined their Bible Baptist Church in Yakima, WA. They also loved fishing at Westport. Mom was a good fisher woman and often told the story of her 28lb salmon and would show the pictures to prove it. They started doing crafts and going south as snowbirds every winter. Sadly he passed in 1994.
Mom continued to go south and a few years later a friend said “You need to meet my brother” and thus came Wayne Waltman. Everyone truly loved Wayne, especially our mom. She brought him to Yakima but he was from Phoenix so that was perfect. They continued to be snowbirds driving their motorhome and soon bought a home in Yuma to spend winters. They were members of the Mountain View Bible Church of Yuma, AZ. Out of that marriage came 4 stepchildren, Pam, Sheryl, Darrel, & Rick Waltman. Sadly Wayne #2 passed in 2018. Something mom never got over.
Mom would joke that she was married for 60 years it just took 3 husbands to do it. She is predeceased by her parents, brother & husbands. She is survived by her 3 children, Charlie (Esther) Silvers of California, Dian (Gregg) Needham of Arizona, and Debbi (Dan) Wood of Yakima, 5 grandchildren & 9 great-grandchildren.
A very special thank you to Daniel Espinoza for his great care of our mother allowing her to remain in her home. She loved him as one of her own. Also a special thank you to Nurse Joe at Memorial Hospital for his tender care.
Rest in peace dear sweet lady. We love you mom & will miss you every day.
A visitation for Naomi will be held Thursday, April 14, 2022 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Keith & Keith Funeral Home, 902 West Yakima Ave, Yakima, WA 98902. A funeral service will occur Friday, April 15, 2022 at 11:00 AM at the Yakima Bible Baptist Church, 6201 Tieton Dr., Yakima, WA 98908. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.keithandkeith.com for the Waltman family.

To the editor -- The Nielsen reports are the recognized measure for audiences in the U.S. media. I don’t recall any Yakima Herald-Republic articles about TV audiences except in reports about the Super Bowl, Oscars or Olympics.
If you view the FACTUAL RATINGS on the Nielsen website (https://www.nationalmediaspots.com) , you will find the March 2 report. Fox News continues to be the highest rated news channel with viewership exceeding the totals for CNN and MSNBC. The Five on Fox slightly exceeded the Tucker Carlson show for the first-place news program. The top 10 programs were on Fox; MSNBC showing at 11th.
Being out of touch with their readers may be a reason for dwindling subscriptions, fewer ads, and a smaller paper.
